1 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the swamp. We love calling 2 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: it the swamp, but here's the truth. The United States 3 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: government is the largest criminal organization on the planet. Now, 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: this did not happen overnight, and this is not a 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: permanent state of affairs, Lord Willing, but decades and decades 6 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: and decades of negligence from us, the citizen. We have 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: to own it. Myself included negligence from us. We didn't 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: care enough about politics or primaries. It has created this 9 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: system where Washington, DC really is a den of corruption, 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: where these people blood suck money from the taxpayer, you, 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: from me, and hand it out to each other. They 12 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: hand it to their friends, they hand it to their allies. 13 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: And what is it that criminal organizations fear the most? 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: They fear in. 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: Filtration, being exposed, and being held accountable. There's a reason 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: mob bosses won't speak on the phone with their members anymore. 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: They have to walk and cover their mouth and have 18 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: whispered conversations. That exact same thing is at work inside 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: of the United States government. You see the reason the 20 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: swamp has not drained, even though you want it drained, 21 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: even though Trump wants it drained, is there is a 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: cabal there. Well, now you're probably thinking about Democrats, but 23 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: set them aside. Democrats don't have the House, they don't 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: have the Senate. 25 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: We do. 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: But you see the established people, the people who've been 27 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: there a long time, most of them the Tom Tillis's 28 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: of the world. They don't see themselves as opposing Democrats 29 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: or fighting for you. They know how they have to 30 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: lie to you about that, but that's not how they 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: see themselves at all. 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: They see themselves as. 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: Knowing they have to pretend they'll oppose Democrats, but in 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: reality they are there to protect the criminal organization from prosecution. 35 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: Remember what Tom Tillis said. 36 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: It was so revealing about why he opposed Ed Martin 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: for US Attorney. 38 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 3: Here he was, he is, I don't believe he's being 39 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 3: in advanced to the markup. 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: And I met with mister Martin. 41 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: He seems like a good man. Most of my concerns 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: related to January sixth, and he built a compelling case 43 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: on some of the fifteen twelve prosecutions that were probably 44 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: heat of the moment, bad decisions. But where we probably 45 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: have a difference is I think anybody that reached the 46 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 3: perimeter should have been in prison for some period of time. 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: Whether it's thirty days or three years is debatable. But 48 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: I have no tolerance for anybody who entered the building 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: on January the sixth, and that's probably where most of 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: the friction was. 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 4: If mister Martin were being put forth. 52 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: As a US attorney for any district except the district 53 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: where January six happened, the protest happened, I probably support them, 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: but not in this district. At this point, indicated to 55 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: the White House, I wouldn't support his nomination. 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: As Trump CARDI. 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 4: Fredan not talk all the time? 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: Why do you think that is? 59 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Do you really think Tom Tillis sits at home at 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: night stresses about January sixth? 61 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: Still I think it bothers him a lot. 62 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: January sixth, a slightly spicy, unarmed protest. Do you think 63 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: that really gets to Tom Tillis? Of course, don't be 64 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: a naive. You know better than that. So if it's 65 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: not that, if he's lying about the reason, then why 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: well why is what matters most? And in fact we're 67 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: going to talk to ed here in a couple of minutes. 68 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: US attorney in that area. He is the shield that 69 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: protects the system, that protects the swamp. 70 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: The shield. 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: That's the rule that that particular position has played for 72 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: a long time. Sword and shield. And if you were 73 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: to actually get a reformer in there who really genuinely 74 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: wanted to drain the swamp, it would be disastrous, not 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: just for Democrats, for people like Tom Tillis. So once again, 76 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: when it came down to it and we were almost 77 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: ready to get something done, Establishment Republicans stuck their foot 78 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: in the doors so it couldn't close all the way 79 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: on communism. This happens because they're trying to protect the 80 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: criminal organization. They are very much a part of all 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: that may have made you uncomfortable. I hope it did, 82 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: but I am right now. Ed Martin will be a 83 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: very revealing interview about this, because Ed Martin was, as 84 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: you just heard, the man who was about to be 85 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: US Attorney until the GOP, not Democrats, the GOP stopped him. 86 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: What kind of a guy? Is Ed Martin? 87 00:04:50,640 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: Just some dangerous person? Let's talk to him next. I 88 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: love feeling good. It's kind of a dumb thing to say, though, 89 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: isn't it. Everybody loves feeling good? But I feel so 90 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: much better now than I used to. Why what am 91 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: I doing well? For three years, a little over three years, actually, 92 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: I've been taking a male Vitality Stack from Chalk every 93 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: single day. 94 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: I sit down, I have my breakfast. Today it was 95 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: bacon and eggs. 96 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: I have my breakfast and I have my male Vitality 97 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: Stack from Chalk natural herbal supplements, and the results in 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: my life are unbelievable. My energy level, the way my 99 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: mind feels. Does that make sense. My mind just feels 100 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: like it works so much faster than it used to. 101 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: My mood. 102 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: My wife comments on, now, great, my mood is change 103 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: your life with natural herbal. 104 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: Supplements from Chalk. 105 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: They have stuff for women, stuff for men, whatever you're 106 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: looking to, whatever you're looking for, Chock has something for you. 107 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: Go to Chalk dot com, slash Jesse. 108 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: TV and get a subscription. 109 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: Well, what is this whole DC attorney thing about? What 110 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: does he do? What kind of ugliness has taken place there? 111 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: We figured it's how we're doing a little special on 112 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: all this. It'd probably be appropriate to bring in friend 113 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: of the show and hardcore one of us ed Mark 114 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: Trump weaponizations are And now what is this new thing? 115 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: Associate Deputy Attorney General. I mean, I'm happy for him, 116 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: but I wish he was there draining the swamp as 117 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: US attorney in DC. Ed, I'm going to get over 118 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: my disappointment. Will you please explain what this DC attorney 119 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: role actually is for stupid people like me who don't 120 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: understand this DOJ court system. 121 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: But what do they do there? 122 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, Jesse, thank you to you to 123 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 4: your so many viewers and listeners who were great about 124 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 4: fighting for me as we were going through. This confirmation 125 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: is great, and the process was the punishment. And here 126 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 4: we are, and you know, President Trump is good at this. 127 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: He kind of turns it around. And so you mentioned, look, 128 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: I have actually three hats to wear. Okay, so I've 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: got this hat. It's called an a DAG Associate Deputy 130 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 4: Attorney General. And in the bureaucracy that's actually a pretty 131 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 4: cool spot. There's a lot of really talented people. The 132 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: cool thing about it, Jesse, is everybody there is a 133 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 4: Trump appointee and a hard charging guy.

He's actually the principal associated 136 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: a Deputy Attorney General. And then it's a good gig 137 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: and everybody's got different areas that they take on. And 138 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: some folks are looking at the cartels and things, and 139 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 4: some of our US attorneys. My docket is this weaponization ZAR, 140 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: this working group. President Trump day one said, get after weaponization. 141 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 4: Pam Bondi on day one said, here's a list of 142 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 4: some things to do, and this working group started. We've 143 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 4: been in that Jack Smith, Catholics, being targeted, school boards, 144 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: targeting parents, a whole list, and so we're getting after it. 145 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: And then the last thing I got put though, Jesse, 146 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: is this is for you, because I'm going to make 147 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 4: a retroactive pardon of Jesse Kelly all the crimes he 148 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: committed when he was in the Marine Corps, mostly off base. 149 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: Obviously he's pardoned, and I don't know if I have 150 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: that authority. I've got to look closer at the law. 151 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: But I mean, if Joe Biden could pardon everybody under 152 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: the sun, why can't I go back in time to 153 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: that time you left base and like don Imus, you know, 154 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 4: remember that don Imus incident.

And I know people are frustrated at the 159 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 4: speed that I agree. You should be pissed, you should 160 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 4: be honest all the time. But I'm in a position 161 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 4: now and in the Department of Justice to go after 162 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 4: the weaponization and to expose it and hold them accountable. 163 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 4: And I wish it happened faster. I wish I stayed 164 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: in my job as used attorney. But the President has 165 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 4: us loose on this. I have been let loose. I 166 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: don't have to be confirmed ever again. I'm not going 167 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 4: to do that, you know. I'll have to do it 168 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 4: because I couldn't get it done that time. And so 169 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: here we go, and I think people are going to 170 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 4: be happy with the results and it's going to be 171 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: important for the country. 172 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: No, I love it. 173 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: And I am curious with about eighteen different titles which 174 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: one goes on the official government business card. 175 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: You have to just pick the coolest one, right. 176 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: It's I think weaponization Zar, you know, because I got 177 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 4: accused of all this Russia stuff, so I figured go 178 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 4: right into it, and I tried. I walk into my house, 179 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 4: I said to my wife, you have to call me 180 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 4: general now, you know, because associated in general. I said, 181 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 4: General Martin and she said, it's not going to happen. 182 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 4: And I said, what about ZAR? And she said, well, 183 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 4: maybe we'll try ZAR out and see. So you know, 184 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: there's the business card and then there's in your own 185 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 4: home what you can get away with, and so so 186 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 4: far a ZAR is carrying the day. Now, pardon Attorney, 187 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: I do walk around the streets and I say pardon me, 188 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 4: pardon me, you know, just to get the people thinking 189 00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: about the partner office. 190 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: You know, I'm actually glad you brought that up for 191 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: a couple of different reasons. One, I probably am going 192 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: to need those pardons from my Marine Corps days and 193 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: I'll send you with this afterwards. It's going to be 194 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: fair the extensive. But Two, the Joe Biden pardons, they 195 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: are on people's minds because it's obvious that it wasn't 196 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden doing these things. Record pardons of some of 197 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: the most detestable scumbags we have. 198 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 2: In our country. 199 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: And I'm not naive. I don't think those pardons are 200 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: going to be undone. But is there anything that can 201 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: be done? 202 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 4: Well, Look, one thing is this, The pardon power is plenary. 203 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 4: If people don't like it. We have to amend the constitution. 204 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 4: In other words, the pardon power is the president gets 205 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 4: to pardon, and I think that's real. But it's a 206 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 4: different question about the conduct the way pardons were done. 207 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 4: In other words, a pardon power, a pardon properly done 208 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 4: is plenary. It's complete and all that. But if there 209 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 4: was fraud involved, if there was something a reason that 210 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: had happened, that would be something you'd question. And we 211 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 4: saw something that no one's ever seen. Look, Donald Trump 212 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 4: has done historic stuff. And then people say, we've never 213 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: seen a president who tweets or who does this and 214 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 4: that other thing. What Joe Biden. The unprecedented nature of 215 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 4: what he did back in time, blanket pardons for any 216 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: crime fourteen years, This is not normal. And he did 217 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 4: it over areas that we see major questions, the pardons 218 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: over COVID, blanket partons over the COVID stuff. You know, again, 219 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: at a certain point you say, might be plenary, might 220 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 4: be allowed, but it looks like it's covering things up right. 221 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: It looks like we've got some conflicts. So again, we 222 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: are not supposed to be whimps. I know, Jesse, you 223 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 4: know this we're not supposed to be you know, you know, 224 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 4: silly about being soft. We should ask questions if you 225 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 4: do stuff that's unprecedented. We should ask questions. When the 226 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 4: when the EPA transferred six point seven billion dollars with 227 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 4: a bee to a nonprofit that was created in the 228 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 4: last year by three other nonprofits that are wholly sub 229 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: subsidiaries of three other nonprofits, you say to yourself, largest 230 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: transfer of wealth in the history of America to a 231 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: nonprofit that looks like a shell set of companies. Isn't criminal? 232 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 4: Not sure yet, but we ought to ask questions. Same 233 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 4: thing with the Partons, right. And so here's what we know. 234 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,439 Speaker 4: Under Joe Biden, we had the government used as a 235 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 4: weapon to destroy our citizens in a way. This isn't politicization. 236 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 4: This is weaponized against the citizens. And so we've got 237 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: a responsibility. The President said, go and get it, and 238 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 4: we're going to expose it. We're going to hold people accountable. 239 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: And by the way, Jesse and they don't want me 240 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 4: to do this. They want me to say this next part. 241 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: If you got taken to the woodshed by weaponization of 242 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: the government, you should be healed. Now they're like Tom 243 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 4: Tillis said, are you for reparations? I said, I'm not 244 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 4: for reparations. It's a stupid term that they use regarding slavery. 245 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 4: What I am for is that the government destroys someone, 246 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: they should have to clean it up. And it's not 247 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 4: just Stocken Page getting a million dollars because Biden is 248 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 4: in charge and they just want to pay them. I'm 249 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 4: talking about if you sit in jail for three and 250 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 4: a half years because Lisi Monico lied and the fifteen 251 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 4: twelve charge was a lie, then you ought to probably 252 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 4: be able to say, what can I do to figure 253 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 4: out where not just to get my life back, to 254 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 4: get my life back together. I think that's real, and 255 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 4: I think that we need. The present is saying hey, 256 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: we're going to put it all together and try to 257 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: make government trustworthy and do the right things. And that's 258 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: what we're getting after. 259 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up to ED because a 260 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: lot of people did add their lives destroyed by that 261 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: DC court system. And something that I found just so 262 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: odd was Tom Tillis. Obviously I'm not a fan, as 263 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: everybody knows, but Tom Tillis cited January sixth and your 264 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: position on it specifically as the reason why he didn't 265 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: want you in there, even said, well, I'd be fine 266 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: if he was anywhere else except for DC. What in 267 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: the world about January sixth stuck in his cross so 268 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: badly that that's the reason we can't have ed Martin here? 269 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 4: Well, I'll answer two ways, and I you know, I 270 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 4: probably again, I'm not good at this jesse, you know, 271 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 4: in terms of being politically correct or if I'm supposed 272 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 4: to behave or something. But look two things, and one, 273 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: as a lawyer, as someone who cares about fighting, and 274 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 4: I have to be a lawyer fighting for people who 275 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 4: are getting wronged. You're supposed to be allowed to do that. 276 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 4: It doesn't mean that I agree with everything they said. 277 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 4: It doesn't mean and I agree with everything everybody did. 278 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: You know, when someone punches a cop, you should get 279 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 4: in trouble, you should be prosecuted. I got no problem 280 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 4: with that. But the rest of this rhetoric about things 281 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: and what Tom tillis and others, often when you listen 282 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 4: to them, you say, you guys are subscribing to a reality. 283 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: I can't see that. That looks like a hoax. And 284 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 4: the hoax is that January sixth was everyone there was 285 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 4: an insurrectionist that deserves to be judged as an insurrectionist. A. 286 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 4: That's not America, and B it's not true. And so 287 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: I see these guys and they say everybody who went 288 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: in that capital deserves what they got. Well, as you know, 289 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 4: Jesse cops were law enforce. Was the man they were 290 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 4: welcoming them in. They were you know, you you can't 291 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 4: act like that. But they they believe the hoax of 292 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 4: January sixth. And why do they believe the hoax of 293 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 4: January sixth? That's pretty easy. As soon as January sixth happened, 294 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 4: the media spent hundreds of millions of dollars. Liz Cheney 295 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: in her Select Committee spent hundreds of millions of dollars. 296 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 4: The whole place spent hundreds of millions of dollars. People 297 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 4: were tried and put in jail to say it was 298 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 4: what they said it was, and it was a lie. 299 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: And the fact is we broke through it, and a 300 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: lie is clearer. But a whole lot of people are 301 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 4: under the spell of the j six hoax, and when 302 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 4: you meet them, you're like, you can't be serious, and 303 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 4: they are serious. We had to break the hoax by 304 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: the way, but we also have to not let the 305 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 4: people that were destroyed and being damaged by the hoax damaged. 306 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 4: And one minute. 307 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: More, and what is I understand? 308 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Things take time, as you mentioned, draining the swamp takes time. 309 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: It took decades to get here. You can't clean it 310 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: up overnight. So what is a realistic expectation from people 311 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: watching myself included, who want criminals inside of the government arrested. 312 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: I'm thrilled with. 313 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: The newest cartel guy going to prison. Yeah, I mean, 314 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: throw the pedophiles of the Pacific Ocean. 315 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: For all I care. 316 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: All that stuff sounds great, But if people have committed 317 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: crimes with either party for any reason with their government position, 318 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: for me, that's as serious as any crime on the 319 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: planet because you're taking a responsibility and you're abusing people's 320 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: rights with it. But is it realistic to think we're 321 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: going to see government people go to prison in the 322 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: next four years? 323 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 4: Yeah? Yes, the answer is yes. And here's what I say. 324 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 4: Number One, everybody who's watching, and including you, Jesse, don't 325 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 4: stop being pissed at the speed we need to be faster. 326 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 4: So don't stop even at me, even at the good 327 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 4: guys right, and everybody. I agree with it because we're 328 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 4: running against the clock. The clock is used against us. 329 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 4: The article three courts are you they slow us down. 330 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 4: And I can tell you, as a prosecutor, you're looking 331 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: at this, You're saying this case is going to take 332 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 4: eighteen months, and you're thinking eighteen months from now, how 333 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: are we going to be able to win the battle 334 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 4: for the future of the country. So my might be 335 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 4: mad about the timing. I just would say this, I'm 336 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 4: in this and I'm not. You know, I don't care 337 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 4: about being spit at. I mean, it's it's you know, 338 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 4: last week. But I can tell you we get I 339 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 4: get threats against me and my family and all and 340 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 4: everybody does. It goes into this and so at this 341 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 4: level and where we are, it's worth it because it's 342 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 4: now or never. I mean, Jesse, you've written a book 343 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: on this. You do it all the time. It's now 344 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 4: or never. And so yes, we want to drag them 345 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 4: out when they're bad guys in cuffs, but we also 346 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 4: have to realize every day that they are. Todd Blanche 347 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 4: is the real deal. That's the dag. He's the real deal. 348 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 4: All day long, he's looking at ways to get at 349 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 4: these people. He's they try to destroy his client and him. 350 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 4: You know, he represented Trump and so just I guess 351 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 4: trust me is one way to say it, but more 352 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 4: and more importantly, you know, look Reagan said trust and 353 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 4: verify about the Soviets. I say, when it comes to government, 354 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 4: all of you should distrust and verify. Distrust everything even 355 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 4: we say and verify it. Make us show you what 356 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 4: we're doing. But just remember it's I think there's three 357 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: parts of this. One is to to name and shame. 358 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 4: And I did a press confience. They said you can't 359 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 4: do that. I said, watch me, name and shame. I mean, 360 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 4: these guys are scum, the guys like Brannan and Shift 361 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 4: that these people are destroying the country. Name and shame, 362 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 4: and I know what you're gonna say next. The next one, though, 363 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 4: is hold them accountable. And we have to. We have 364 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 4: to arrest people, we have to charge them, we have 365 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 4: to have sophisticated trials. If it's got to be rico, 366 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 4: we've got to get there and it has to come. 367 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 4: I'm with you, but it's coming, it's not not there. 368 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 4: And then the last thing is we got to heal 369 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 4: each other and the people that have been really damaged. 370 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 4: That's you know, it's now or never for America. That's 371 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 4: what's at stake. And all I can say is, I'll 372 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 4: come on your show any time you want, and I'll 373 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 4: say to people, look, here's where we are, Here's what's 374 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 4: going on. I gotta tell you, like Bongino, Bongino got 375 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: in office. And when Bongino got in, I can tell 376 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 4: you the energy of the FBI, the urgency to start 377 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 4: getting stuff done changed one hundredfold. And every time I 378 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 4: talk to him, he's on this stuff so not fast. 379 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: I get it. 380 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 4: Everybody wants a rest. I'm just telling you it's harder 381 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 4: than you think to get control and to get these 382 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 4: things going. You don't come in and go you're all 383 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 4: fired and let's go. You're dealing. It's treachery all the time. 384 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 4: We're behind enemy lines. Jesse. It's like being in VC, 385 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: France and I'm a Jedburgh and Bongino's a Jedburg and 386 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 4: we're signaling to each other trying to fight through this. 387 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: That's what it's like, Ed Steak, because I'm me next 388 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: time I come to DC. Very few people have an 389 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: open invitation on this show, but general since you're a 390 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: general now you most definitely do. I appreciate you very much. 391 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: Talk sooner, brother, All right, I love that guy. Let's 392 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: talk to Mike Bens. He knows a little bit about 393 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: government corruption. Next, I love my cell phone company because 394 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: my cell phone company's CEO it was mac v sag 395 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: and Vietnam two tours. You know, I nerd out on 396 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: the MacFee song stuff. Those skies are just unbelievable. Highest 397 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: casualty rate in Vietnam, and the CEO of Pure Talk 398 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: walk those jungles two tours. Why does pure Talk do 399 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: all the patriotic things it does? They even hire Americans. 400 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: Why does Pure Talk give back to veterans when they 401 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: give back? But why because their CEO loves the United 402 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: States of America. And that's why I love Chalk. I'm 403 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: so tired of giving my business. I'm tired of giving 404 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: my money to companies who hate me and my values 405 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: in my country. 406 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: I am proud to partner with chok. 407 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: You can keep your cell phone, you keep your cell 408 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: phone number, or get a new one. They have everything 409 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: and you'll pay less. By the way, you'll save money. 410 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: Switch puretalk dot com slash jessetv to. 411 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 2: Look, I've talked to. 412 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: You before many times about the GOP and GOP specifically senators, 413 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: and you can tell what their real role is. 414 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: It's controlled opposition. 415 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: They're there to pretend to oppose all this communist filth, 416 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: but right when it comes down to actually draining the 417 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: swamp or stopping something, that's when they step in and 418 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: then stop you from stopping it. They do it all 419 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: the time. For instance, the Doge cuts, all that Doze 420 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: stuff gets all. 421 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: Kinds of flashy headlines. 422 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: Hey, fifty million dollars for tranny frogs and Zimbabwe, and 423 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: you're mad, and I'm mad. But they actually tried to 424 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: get those cuts through actual official cuts. You see twenty 425 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: six senators. Republican senators said, nah, keep funding it all, 426 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: twenty six of them. 427 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: Let you know what they really stand for. 428 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: Joining me now, someone who understands quite a bit about 429 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: how deep the swamp is. 430 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: You know him already. 431 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: His name is Mike Ben's, executive director of Foundation for 432 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: Freedom Online. Hey, Mike, why in the world would a 433 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: twenty six Republican senators want to keep funding tranny frogs 434 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: in some random country. 435 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 5: Their donors, their political lifelines. This has been the real 436 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 5: pillar of the Republican Party since the early twentieth century 437 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 5: has been the Chamber of Commerce. Companies, the international multinational 438 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 5: companies that are technically domiciled here but depend on the 439 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 5: battering ram of the Pentagon, the State Department, and the 440 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 5: Central Intelligence Agency in order to preserve their markets, in 441 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 5: order to preserve their supply chains, in order to expand 442 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 5: their profit margins. And so this is why you had 443 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 5: this big USAID lobbying arm called the US Global Leadership Coalition, 444 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 5: which came together in the early nineteen nineties at the 445 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 5: end of the Cold War, when the Cold War was over, 446 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 5: so the American people were saying, hey, there's no need 447 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 5: for NATO anymore, there's no need for USAID or at 448 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 5: least as large a function. There's no need for all 449 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 5: these State Department grants because the Cold War is over. 450 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 5: We're supposed to be having a peace dividend. And it 451 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 5: was right at that time that's something called the US 452 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 5: Global Leadership Coalition formed, which is today sort of the 453 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 5: largest lobbying arm for USAID on the on the US Congress, 454 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 5: and they work with both sides of the political art aisle. 455 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 5: They're partnered with the US Chamber of commerce, and what 456 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 5: you see here are Republicans who are beholding to multinational 457 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 5: corporations rather than to the nation here, the United States 458 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 5: of America. 459 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: Mike, can you lay out exactly what kind and I'm 460 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: talking about amounts of donations we're talking about, and I 461 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: say it this way. Let me let me preface it 462 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: with this, It takes a ton of money to run 463 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: for United States Senate John corn and that loser, he's 464 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: going to run for Senate again next year in Texas. 465 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: It's going to be thirty forty million dollars. I realized 466 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: that's a lot of money, so that it must cost 467 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: a lot of money to buy United States Senator. 468 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 5: Right, Well, they're pretty cheap. Actually, if you there's some 469 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 5: great quotes I can't remember how how that. I don't 470 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 5: want to miss misquote them, but there's some great quotes 471 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 5: about how cheap it is to buy Congress. But the 472 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 5: fact is is, you know, there is a huge lobbying pot. 473 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 5: Everyone knows when they see, for example, military contractors or 474 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 5: big energy companies or big pharma companies who come in 475 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 5: and buy for example, the media sponsored by Pfizer. We 476 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 5: saw constantly during media hits on Fox News or MSNBC. 477 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 5: We see all these corporate interests are the same groups 478 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 5: that go in and provide the big lobbying base for 479 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 5: Congress as well. For example, even folks like George Soros, 480 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 5: who was the largest single donor to the Democrats. George 481 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 5: Soros runs massive hedge funds and private equity funds like 482 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 5: the famously the Quantum Fund where he really got his start, 483 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 5: and these invest in portfolio companies. For example, George Soros 484 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 5: invested in Halliburton, Dick Cheney's company for oil and gas refining. 485 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 5: What you see is there is this giant pot. The 486 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 5: maximum individual contribution is only a couple thousand dollars from 487 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 5: an individual, but if you have multinational corporations, they can 488 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 5: put millions of dollars into a super pac and that 489 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 5: money is thousands of times in order of magnitude of 490 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 5: what an individual can do in their individual capacity. And 491 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 5: so this is effectively what we see here. We saw 492 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 5: these multinational corporations clamor for more USAID funding because USAID 493 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 5: opens their markets for them. It's like a subsidy. It's 494 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 5: like a subsidized business. When we pay for transgender dance 495 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 5: festivals in Bangladesh in order to overthrow a government who 496 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 5: is placing caps on the amount of petroleum that they're 497 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 5: sharing with the US or preventing the installation of US 498 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 5: military base there because that country is cracking down on 499 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 5: the transgender population. Well, that ends up manifesting as a 500 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 5: back channel conversation between the petroleum and the military companies 501 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: with the Biden administration. The Biden administration then task groups 502 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 5: like IRI and the National down for Democracy and USAID 503 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 5: to then work with the transgender population. There fun transgender 504 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 5: dance festivals as well. You'll see this in USA spending 505 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 5: dot gov in the grant list, and then work with 506 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 5: them to mobilize street protests, to do demonstrations, to create 507 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 5: human rights violations predicates in order to oust that government. 508 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 5: That's exactly what we saw happen, for example in that country. 509 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 5: With the documents that I published originally came from the 510 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 5: Gray Zone in just write the the waning months of 511 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 5: the Biden administration that this is how this is, so 512 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 5: you can understand, this is to profit these multinational corporations 513 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 5: who represent the donor drafter overclass of the guts of 514 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 5: our government. 515 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: It's so ugly, So a lot of this what you're 516 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: saying is a lot of this international LGBTQ activism garbage 517 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: that is funded by USAID is actually about something else. 518 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: It's about money, It's about US influence, and we're funding 519 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: these things to destabilize governments who have angered US. 520 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't give a flying fig about lgbt I mean, 521 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 5: there are some true believers, but they don't really represent 522 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 5: the senior class of the US State Department or the 523 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 5: US Intelligence community or the US Pentagon. It's very cynical 524 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 5: and self serving. Will they will immediately subsidize and pay 525 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 5: for the most extreme anti lgbt groups in the world. 526 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 5: When it suits their purpose. They will fund, for example, 527 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 5: the Taliban, they will fund Isis, they will fund Al Qaeda, 528 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 5: they will find I mean, this is what we saw 529 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 5: literally the US Institute of Peace doing this, and we 530 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 5: saw one hundred and twenty two million dollars or something 531 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 5: to that effect from USAID funding these groups who are 532 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 5: not exactly lgbtq's best friend. What you see. And same 533 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 5: thing with Nazism. You know, they talk all this stuff 534 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 5: about fascism and Nazism being the threats, and then they'll 535 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 5: turn around and fund the ash Off Battalion. If it's 536 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 5: geopolitically useful against the Russians and to seize control over 537 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 5: the energy market in Eurasia. 538 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Ed Martin thing because 539 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: I was hot on this. I know you were hot 540 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: on this. What was it about Ed Martin? I mean, 541 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: it's US attorney. It's a big deal, but it's just 542 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: one area. What was it about Ed Martin that was 543 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: a bridge so far that GOP senators like Tom Tillis 544 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: would actually risk the wrath of Donald Trump to stop him. 545 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: Why. 546 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 5: Well, d C happens to be the home court jurisdiction 547 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 5: of the swamp. The fact is is the d C, 548 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 5: you know, the DC district courts are where all of 549 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 5: the Trump related litigation, as in terms of his government 550 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 5: policies are litigated. This is why the Chief Justice Boseburg 551 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 5: has become such a a villainous figure to the MAGA 552 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 5: policy implementation, is because the d C courts are where 553 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 5: d C executive orders and d C activity is litigated. 554 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 5: So if you are going to, for example, take on 555 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 5: Trump's executive order about opening the border wall, well that's 556 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 5: not going to be litigated in Arizona and Texas. That's 557 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 5: going to be litigated in d C. And the fact 558 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 5: is is therefore, who who is on the other side 559 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 5: presenting to the judge in these is extremely critical for 560 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 5: implementing Trump agenda. You need someone who is going to 561 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 5: represent to those justices a full and zealous case for 562 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 5: the government's position. And Ed Martin was a fighter through 563 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 5: and through. One of the things you know. Ed Martin 564 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 5: talked about the Transition Integrity Project just on Tucker Carlson 565 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 5: this week, and was hot on the entire Georgetown law 566 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 5: nexus and the domestic Color Revolution plotting that was being 567 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 5: done by Rosa Brooks and the whole cabal out of 568 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 5: Georgetown with Mary McCord. The fact is is these networks 569 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 5: are a check on trump Ism. And I think Tom 570 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 5: Tillis jumped on the grenade. But the fact is, as 571 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 5: you put on that list of twenty six other folks 572 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 5: in the US Congress, I think that there were several 573 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 5: other senators who were having back channel conversations with Tom 574 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 5: Tillis so that he would jump on the grenade and 575 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 5: they would be relatively clean. John Thune, the Senate majority leader, 576 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 5: could have removed and replaced Tom Tillis from the committee 577 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 5: in order to get a floor vote if he had 578 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 5: wanted to, but he did not want to do that 579 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 5: same thing we saw with others. John Cornyn initially, I believe, 580 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,479 Speaker 5: was resistant to saying that he would support ed Martin. 581 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 5: And then once it became clear that Tom Tillis was 582 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 5: going to jump on the grenade and block it out 583 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 5: of the committee, John corn said, if it comes to 584 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 5: the floor, I'll vote on it. But you never saw 585 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 5: John Cornyn actually speak out against Tom Tillis's vote or 586 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 5: put pressure in order to change that vote. So I 587 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 5: think you have essentially this internationalist blob class of Republicans 588 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 5: who are it was actually jumped on. You allowed Tom 589 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 5: Tillis to be the fall guy for this, but they 590 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 5: all wanted that as well. They did not want someone 591 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 5: who was going to go after corruption at usaid, they 592 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 5: did not want someone who was going to go after 593 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 5: the bipartisan corrupt elements of the swamp. Because again even 594 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 5: something of the Transition Integrity Project, that domestic Color Revolution 595 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 5: coup simulator where they literally simulated invoking a breakdown on 596 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 5: January sixth, and then having Black Lives Matter serve as 597 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 5: paramilitary street muscle, as if we were funding some coast 598 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 5: of ar paramilitary group in order to fight the Slovana 599 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 5: Melosovich in Serbian the nineteen nineties. These were the analogies 600 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 5: that they were giving that we would effectively fund anti 601 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 5: fund Black Lives Matter right after the George Floyd riots. 602 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 5: It just happened. They were still playing out when they 603 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 5: were doing these simulations. And this all serves as a 604 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 5: check on trump Ism, which is what these international republicans want. 605 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 5: They want to get back in the Nicky Haley box. 606 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 5: They want to get back on the George hw Bush, 607 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 5: the George Bush, the John McCain, Mitt Romney, Nicky Hayley box. 608 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 5: They want to go back to coke and pepsi in 609 00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 5: terms of your only choices as a US voter, and 610 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 5: all these aspects of bipartisan approved corruption that Trump is 611 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 5: trying to clean up. They don't want that cleaned. And 612 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 5: so they want someone in there who is not as aggressive, 613 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 5: who is not as tuned in, And so they got 614 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 5: rid of be Ed Martin. 615 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: Mike Well, I could go on and on and on 616 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: with you about this, but I want to make sure 617 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: we talk about this angle of it. I do the 618 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: best I can not to make myself sound like a 619 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: complete quack but when I look at the two assassination 620 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: attempts of Donald Trump, and I look at the circumstances 621 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: around it, particularly the quick destruction of evidence on the 622 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: first assassination attempt, from spraying off the roof to cremating the. 623 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 2: Body right away. Mike, I'll just come right out and 624 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: say it. 625 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: I believe elements inside of the United States government were 626 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: involved in the attempted assassination of the Republican nominee for 627 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. You're welcome to 628 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: hang up right away if you think I'm a nutball, 629 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: But does that sound crazy to you? 630 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 5: It doesn't sound crazy to me. I think that that 631 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 5: is a very considerable probability. The fact is is all 632 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 5: it would take is advance knowledge and allowing it to happen. 633 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 5: It would not take necessarily recruiting people to do it, 634 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 5: if they simply had advanced knowledge from informants or from 635 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 5: surveillance that these attacks are going to play out. All 636 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 5: it would take would be somebody inside the Biden DHS 637 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 5: or Biden FBI or Biden Justice Department or Biden CIA 638 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 5: to say, hmm, we've been tipped off about this. Let's 639 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 5: let's sit on this one and then simply have a 640 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 5: few backchannel conversations, keep it tight hold. But the fact is, 641 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 5: as I think that we've talked about, both of these 642 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 5: shooters ran right through aspects of federal law enforcement and 643 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 5: Biden admin intelligence worlds. On the law enforcement side, was 644 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 5: reported by I believe the New York Post that Matthew 645 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 5: Thomas Crooks was training at the very same gun range 646 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 5: as dhs HSI DHSHSI, who was actively recruiting and infiltrating 647 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 5: Trump group Trump movement groups during January sixth. There's the 648 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 5: famous case of Jeremy Brown from the Oathkeepers to dhs 649 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 5: HSI agents arrived at his home about a month before 650 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 5: January sixth and actively recruited him, threatened him that if 651 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 5: he did not, as a Green Beret, join up with 652 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 5: join up with HSI and become an informant, that he 653 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 5: could have problems, but those problems would go away and 654 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 5: he might be able to make some money from it 655 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 5: if he became an informant HSI. We later learned from Congress, 656 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 5: or at least testimony was published in a Congressional letter 657 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 5: on this that HSI agents reportedly replaced almost half of 658 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 5: the Secret Service agents at the Butler Rally, we're told 659 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 5: because Secret Service had a diminished force because they were 660 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 5: split between the NATO summit and a Jill Biden trip. 661 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 5: So HSI is training at the Matthew Thomas Crooks gun range. 662 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 5: All that would have taken is for them to see 663 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 5: this Matthew Thomas Crooks guy putting a Trump face, for example, 664 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 5: on a Trump bullet or talking to guys at the 665 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 5: gun range, and then you've got an HSI connection there. 666 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 5: HSI would have been in position to allow the shot 667 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 5: to go through to the extent that they replaced Secret 668 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 5: Service agents that day. So this whole thing could have 669 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 5: been in house with four or five people simply allowing 670 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 5: it to happen. On Ryan Routh caase it's even crazier. 671 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 5: Ryan Routh was a part of a five oh one 672 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 5: C three Ukraine nonprofit network, the exact nonprofit network that 673 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 5: is such a big part of the USAID presence in Ukraine. 674 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 5: It was called the Volunteer Center of Ukraine. That he 675 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 5: gave his card to Customs and Border Patrol in twenty 676 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 5: twenty three that he was the director of. They've denied that, 677 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 5: but it was on his business card that he handed 678 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 5: to Customs and Border Patrol. Customs and Border Patrol then 679 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 5: referred an investigation on Ryan Routh in twenty twenty three 680 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 5: to dhs HSI and according to Customs and Border Patrol, 681 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 5: DHSHSI quote refused to investigate, not declined, refused to investigate 682 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 5: Ryan Routh. Now, Ryan Routh at the time was recruiting thousands, 683 00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 5: at least five thousand by his own numbers, of terrorist 684 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 5: and extremist militia fighters from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, and Iran. 685 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 5: Now all four of those are highly CIA inflected geopolitical 686 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 5: conflict zones with intense US military and intelligence pressure and 687 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 5: infiltration of various militant networks there. And he was trawling 688 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 5: WhatsApp and telegram to get the front and back of 689 00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 5: over five thousand passports of jihadi fighters in order to 690 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 5: back channel with the US Embassy in Kiev the ability 691 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 5: to provide an increased military support for the US Pentagon 692 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 5: in Ukraine. So that these fighters who who the CIA 693 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 5: was backing when they were called the Mujahadeen in the 694 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 5: nineteen seventies and eighties, now they're al Qaeda and Isis. 695 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 5: So that they just just as they fought the Russians 696 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 5: during the Cold War, they would come back and fight 697 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 5: the Russians in Ukraine just as they were bombing the 698 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 5: Russians were told when Isis claimed responsibility for the attack 699 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 5: inside of Russia just last year that killed one hundred 700 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 5: and thirty five people at a Saint Petersburg theater. So 701 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 5: the fact is this is a CIA network, this is 702 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 5: a Pentagon network. This was flagged at DHS and they 703 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 5: did nothing. And you know, this guy is a part 704 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 5: of a sort of usaight adjacent five oh one C 705 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 5: three in Ukraine. I mean, it's like every single every 706 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 5: single object on the pinball machine of the US intelligence state. 707 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 5: This guy just went bing bing bing bing bing through 708 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 5: the whole thing for years and then he ends up 709 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 5: being the guy who's parked behind a bush at the 710 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 5: Trump golf course, you know, to take a clean shot 711 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 5: on the US President. 712 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 1: Good Mike, I have to ask you before I let 713 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: you go. I know, it's a lot, it's a tight 714 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: knot to untied. 715 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 2: It's going to take time. I get that. 716 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: Do you think we're going to be able to untie 717 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: at least a chunk of this during Trump's four years 718 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: with guys like Ed Martin now in place. Do you 719 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: think we have a chance at getting some of this 720 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: not just exposed but accounted for. 721 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 5: Some of it and a lot of it is personnelist policy. 722 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 5: The fact that, for example, Pam Bondi has fired fifteen 723 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 5: of the j six prosecutors, the fact that we have 724 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 5: fired something like fourteen thousand folks at USAID, the fact 725 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 5: that these funding grants are going to force a diminished 726 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 5: capacity at the end stitutional level of many aspects of 727 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 5: the blob if they go through. That's going to be 728 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 5: the question. This is why during the period between inauguration, 729 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 5: between election and inauguration, I kept stressing this concept of 730 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 5: the Senate snake in it, which was my belief that 731 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,960 Speaker 5: the Senate would end up snaking the president, and that 732 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,760 Speaker 5: much of White House strategy has to be geared towards 733 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 5: coalition building within those internationalist sides of the Republican blob, 734 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 5: because as I saw it, the biggest threat was the 735 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 5: Republican side of the aisle, not the Democrat one. You 736 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 5: have the votes with a Republican held House and Senate. 737 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 2: The issue is the. 738 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 5: Bush era, McCain era Nicky Hayley adjacent side of the GOP. 739 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 5: But that is going to be something that would be 740 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 5: continually negotiated. There's much more leverage now than there was 741 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 5: during the Paul Ryan speakership when there were almost no 742 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 5: Trump allies in Congress. Now, I would say somewhere between 743 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 5: fifty and seventy percent of the Republican Congress is more 744 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,600 Speaker 5: or less fully behind Trump. But the fact is is 745 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 5: twenty five to thirty percent of the Republicans is enough 746 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 5: to form a coalition with the Democrats in order to 747 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 5: get their way on the budget, to get their way 748 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 5: on funding cuts. But you know, there's a lot of 749 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 5: tools in the toolkit, and I think that this admin 750 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,040 Speaker 5: is serious about deploying as many as is necessary. 751 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: I said that was the last question, but I lied, Mike. 752 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: I just had to ask really quickly, do you believe 753 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: there are Republicans because I definitely believe this that are 754 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: just flat out blackmailed. I'm talking Netflix special blackmailed. 755 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 2: Someone has something on them. 756 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: Look, when I hear ken Buck who's retiring from Congress, 757 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: he's retired. 758 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 2: Now when I hear. 759 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 1: Him who's about to retire, lovingly practically make out with 760 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray during a hearing where Christopher Ray is supposed 761 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,439 Speaker 1: to be held accountable. Honestly, I've listened to that clip 762 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: a thousand times. Mike, I hear somebody who has a 763 00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: file on them. 764 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 5: It's possible. I think that you can explain the exact 765 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 5: same set of facts, though in a I don't want 766 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 5: to say more benign because in a way it's it's 767 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 5: even more insidious, which is the simple economics of Congress. 768 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 5: You don't make a lot of money in Congress. I'm 769 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 5: actually not against significantly raising the pay of Congress because 770 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 5: I think the relatively low paid you have all of 771 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 5: this power, and you're around people with so much money, 772 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,760 Speaker 5: and you see yourself and you can't even afford private 773 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 5: school for your kids. While you are making these you know, 774 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 5: you're hobnobbing constantly all day with everyone who can. Everyone 775 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 5: else is a you know, a relatively secure financial life, 776 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 5: and here you are putting everything on the line if 777 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 5: you're a bold member of Congress or you want to 778 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 5: do serious reform, and you know that the moment you leave, 779 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 5: you're already you know, not making a particularly high salary 780 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 5: given your influence and given the pressure on you. But 781 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 5: then on top of that, when you get out, what 782 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 5: are you going to do? For a job when you, 783 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 5: you know, have invested all of this in your career 784 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 5: and you've got no, you know, significant financial prospects unless 785 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 5: you convert that into something with the donor class. The 786 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,919 Speaker 5: fact is is, I actually think that the relatively low 787 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 5: salary of Congress makes it so that it doesn't even 788 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 5: require blackmail. It simply requires financial incentives. You are incentivized 789 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 5: to do what Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and Pfizer and 790 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 5: you known name your company if it's if it's in 791 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 5: the censorship space, what Google and Microsoft or Meta want 792 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,399 Speaker 5: you to do. What the telecom companies want you to do. 793 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 5: You become, as Joe Biden put it himself when he 794 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 5: was running for Senate at twenty nine years old, he 795 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 5: called himself a prostitute. That he had to prostitute himself 796 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 5: out to the credit card companies in Delaware. He had 797 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 5: to prostitute himself out as the poorest person in Congress. 798 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 5: And I think that you see this, and so simply 799 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 5: being economically beholden to your donors is to get you 800 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 5: to be pliant as a doormat, especially when these things 801 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 5: are morally justified by your allies and the media, and 802 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 5: so it doesn't weigh on your consciousness heavily. But the 803 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 5: fact is is, I think those money networks have a 804 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 5: sufficient explanatory power, but I would not be surprised if 805 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 5: there were elements of blackmail and coercion as well. 806 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: Mike, as always, you're the best brother. Come back soon, please. 807 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,879 Speaker 1: All right, we have final thoughts. It's going to say 808 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: light in the mood, but there's nothing light about this. 809 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: Let's do some final thoughts next. How'd you sleep last night? Good? 810 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:46,720 Speaker 4: Bad? 811 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: Is that a consistent thing for you? Or is sleep 812 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 1: a struggle?
