Welcome Patriots on this glorious Thursday, and a 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: glorious Thursday it is. We've got an amazing guest, a 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 2: timely guest, my friend whose last name is also Friend. 10 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: His first name is Steve. Last name friend Steve Friend, 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: is on the on deck for tonight. He's a law 12 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: enforcement officer, former FBI agent, turned whistleblower. He's the best 13 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: selling author of a book called True Blue. You know, 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 2: I think he is a a fantastic human being with 15 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: just an unbelievable wealth of information, especially in the times 16 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: that we live in. I'll tell you it has been 17 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: a very very cold day here at Fort Parnell. It 18 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: has snowed a lot, and you know, I'll tell you 19 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: what taking care of farm animals, you know which, by 20 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: the way, let me just tell you Commander Melanie is 21 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: an absolute hero. She does this stuff while I plan 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 2: the show. She is amazing with these animals. It's amazing, 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: like you'd see her in public, and she looks like 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: a damn Disney princess. She handles these farm animals like 25 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 2: she was born and raised on a farm. It's legit. 26 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: It's a very impressive thing to watch. But taking care 27 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: of farm animals in the winter is very different than 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: taking care of farm animals in the summer. And I 29 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: know that it's taken a little getting used to for her. 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: So she asked the girls to help her today because 31 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: it's been snowing all day. I mean it is. The 32 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: roads are terrible. We've got like probably eight inch es 33 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: nine inches of snow outside right now. And she sent 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: me this picture of Katie who got like almost like 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: this snuggy looking thing for Christmas. And it's pink and 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: it's basically like a wearable blanket that looks like a poncho, 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: but pink. And it shows Katie outside walking like like 38 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: the Bigfoot blurry image, and I was like, oh my god, 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: that looks exactly like Bigfoot, but with Bigfoot wearing a 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: pink poncho. And then I sent Melanie a text message 41 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: of the actual mysterious image of Bigfoot walking like this 42 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: and their gait and their posture in their walk. The 43 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: blurry quality of the image itself looks like Bigfoot's wearing 44 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: a snuggie. I'm just saying, although it's Katie outside helping 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: with the farm animals. But it's very, very funny. So 46 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: we are very busy here at Fort Parnell. Let me 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: tell you, there's so many things to talk about today, 48 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: especially when we get the stuff right off the top rope. 49 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: Immediately make sure you smash that like button before we 50 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: get too far into the show. That like button, that 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: little ray thumb beneath the video. When you smash it, 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: it turns green. We try to get to four hundred 53 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: likes every show. That helps us hit the leaderboard, which 54 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: we've made basically every day for the last couple of 55 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: months because of you. But smash that like button turned 56 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: at green as best you can, folks. Trump today is 57 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: it's expected, and it's been reported by a couple of 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: different outlets today that Trump is to announce Sean Kerran 59 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: as the head of the Secret Service. As the Director 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: of the Secret Service. Now Sean Kerran is the head 61 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: of a Secret Service campaign detail. This is interesting. Let 62 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: me see if I can show you this guy right 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: here with the shades. Of course, this is the iconic 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: July thirteenth assassination attempt picture. Susan Crabtree here, she's she's 65 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: a great reporter, she's reporting this. But the guy with 66 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: the shades to President Trump's right is the guy that 67 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: is supposed to be named as President Trump's Secret Service 68 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: as director. Now. Look, you know there was rumored to 69 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: be Bongino. I think Bongino's extraordinary. I ord love to 70 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: see him in this role. I will say about this role, 71 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 2: I think it's it's absolutely critical for Trump to have 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: in his administration loyalists. Now, the media would act as 73 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: if that's somehow a bad thing. The media treats, you know, 74 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: potential cabinet nominees and leaders in his administration. Oh, he 75 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: just wants people who are loyal And I say to that, well, well, 76 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: no shit. And in any organization that you run from 77 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 2: top to bottom, whether you're in a law enforcement organization, 78 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: whether you're in the military, whether you're running a business, 79 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: whether small business or large business, it doesn't matter. If 80 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: you're a leader, you want people who are loyal to 81 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: your mission. The media treats it as if Trump is 82 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 2: some sort of mob boss, kissed the ring type stuff. 83 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: But loyalty is a good thing. In fact, you know, 84 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: Trump's one weakness in his first term, if I had 85 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: to name one, it was it was that some of 86 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: the people that were around him, especially within his inner circle, 87 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: weren't loyal to him, and that caused all sorts of problems. 88 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: Those people stabbed him in the back at the first 89 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: opportunity they got, they leaked to the media. They were 90 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 2: the enemy within the inner circle. And you know, I'll 91 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: chalk that up, and we've talked a little bit about 92 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: that on this show, but he chalked that up to 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: just Trump first time, well, like, in all seriousness, the 94 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: first time Trump spent a night an overnight in Washington, 95 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: D C. It was in the White House as president, 96 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: So he's an outsider. He knows all about the swamp, 97 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: but just he didn't really know, I think, or fully 98 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: understand in his first term just how deep it was 99 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: and how rare loyalty is in politics. The old phrase 100 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: by Harry Truman, if you want loyalty in Washington, d C. 101 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 2: Or you want loyalty in politics get a dog. It doesn't. 102 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: There isn't a lot of loyalty in the business. But 103 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: I think the president this go around, of course, four 104 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: days out from his inauguration, which is incredible, can't get 105 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: here fast enough. But this time around, the president is 106 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: doing a fantastic job at picking people who are loyal 107 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: to him, loyal to in America first agenda. And you know, 108 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: we talked about this a little bit yesterday on the 109 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: show about a lot of these questions from these senators. Now, again, 110 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: the senators are supposed to be the big boys and 111 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: the big girls in the room, the adults in the room. Right. 112 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: The Senate is supposed to be the more senior governing body, 113 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 2: especially when you're looking at the House and the Senate. 114 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 2: The Senate's supposed to be the grown ups. Some of 115 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 2: the questions that we got from these Democrat senators over 116 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: the last couple of days have just been infantile and ridiculous. 117 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: I mean, and we talked yesterday with Rich Barris about this, 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: but the questions of will you disobey the president if 119 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: he gives you an order that you don't like? This 120 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: is very very very concerning. I don't the president of 121 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: the United States is your voice. We elect them, and 122 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: to not do the bidding of a sitting president of 123 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 2: the United States is to completely blow off the will 124 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: of the American people, which is a core, which is 125 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: the core of the American Republic. And yet many of 126 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: these Democrat senators just don't seem to understand that at all. 127 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: And we've seen these questions not just to Pete Hegseth 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: as the leadoff hitter, but with all of President Trump's 129 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: cabinet nominees thereafter. So it's a very very concerning thing. 130 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: But I want to talk to you about Bongino in 131 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: this hostage deal. I remember how I told you yesterday, 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: Watch how the media portrays this hostage deal. Biden's going 133 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: to try to take credit for it. Keep in mind, folks, 134 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: this deal for the Israeli hostages, many of whom are 135 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: American citizens, by the way, and by the way, a 136 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: tragic hallmark of the Biden administration is the Biden Administration's 137 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 2: willingness to leave Americans behind, whether it's in Afghanistan or 138 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: in Israel. It's sickening to me. No Americans should ever 139 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: be left behind. But Biden was going to try to 140 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: take credit for it. The deal was supposedly the structure 141 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: of the deal was supposedly put in writing in May. 142 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: It didn't get done though, until five days before Trump 143 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: was supposed to be back in office, and a month 144 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: before that, Trump said if they are not back, if 145 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: our people are not back, there's going to be hell 146 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: to pay. 147 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 3: Well. 148 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: Biden tried to take credit for it, but kudos to 149 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: Dan Bongino, my buddy, who had President Trump on his 150 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,559 Speaker 2: show today talking about this very subject that we talked 151 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: about last night. Listen to what Trump had to say 152 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: about this, astiele. 153 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 3: Listen. 154 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: It's clear that the Biden team was ready to capitulate 155 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: to basically all of Hamas's demands. Biden was basically negotiating 156 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: for Hamas against Israel. Did your team make clear to 157 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: the terrorist Hamasta, this is the best deal they were 158 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: going to get, that it was only going to get 159 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: worse from here when you take office on Monday. And basically, 160 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: if they didn't accept the release of some of these 161 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: hostages and stop demanding to remain in control, that they 162 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: were going to be wiped out because there's no deal 163 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: without you win the election. That's a fact. 164 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 4: If we weren't involved in this deal. The deal would 165 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: have never happened. No deal would have happened, and the 166 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: hostages would never have probably seen life again, but they 167 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 4: certainly wouldn't have been released for a long time. Now, 168 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: we changed the course of it, and we changed it fast, 169 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: and frankly, it'd better be done before I take the 170 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 4: oath of office, and I assume it is now. You know, 171 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: we shook hands and we signed certain documents, but it 172 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 4: better be done. But no, and it was so ungracious 173 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 4: that Biden To said, oh, he did it. He didn't 174 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 4: do anything. If I didn't do this, if we didn't 175 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 4: get involved, the hostages would never be out. They would 176 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 4: have never come out. Very much like the Jimmy Carter 177 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 4: situation with Reagan. 178 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: Well, well, miss, I couldn't agree more with President Trump.

Let me get my buddy on here. His 205 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 2: name is Steve friend. He is a former law enforcement officer, 206 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: FBI agent turned whistleblower, best selling author of True Blue. 207 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: Welcome my friend, mister friend. 208 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 3: How's it going great to be here? Happy New Year? 209 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: Happy New Year to you as well. Now I know, wait, 210 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: so the last I'll try to get you on the 211 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: show last week and what you were watching the penn 212 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: State Notre Dame game. And I assume that you're a 213 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: Notre Dame fan and probably pretty happy with the outcome. 214 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 3: I am an alumni, sir, as was my dad. 215 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: You went to Notre Dame. 216 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, my dad and I are both graduates, so we 217 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: took my oldest down there for three generation of friend 218 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: men getting to go to his first game. And now 219 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: I am a little bit nervous because I think he's 220 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: endeavoring to do the same. And I'm like, wow, I 221 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: better save a lot more for college. 222 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I have to say, you know, I'm 223 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: not a penn State fan. I'm a Pit I'm from 224 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: pitt so I'm a big Pit fan. But I guess 225 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: in a game against Notre Dame, I would root for 226 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 2: penn State because I'm from Pennsylvania. But either way, the 227 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: Notre Dame's head coach. Like, there was this SoundBite that 228 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: came out of the reporter that's like, well, how do 229 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 2: you feel about being the first black coach to be 230 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: and he was like, I don't really care about black, white, 231 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: Asian otherwise, doesn't matter. It's just an honor and a 232 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: privilege to lead these young men. And this guy, this coach, 233 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: his name is escaping me. So if you know, it's 234 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: just Freeman, yeah, free Marcus Freeman. This guy has been 235 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: a warrior against diversity, equity, and inclusion, which, by the way, 236 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: it is cultural Marxism. It's divisive. We shouldn't happen anywhere 237 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: in America and any organization. It's caustic. It destroys organizations 238 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: from the inside out. But this guy, since that win, 239 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: has been like pushing back against the DEI agenda, not 240 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: just in college football but everywhere, and it has become 241 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 2: something of a cultural icon here. I think, which hey, 242 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 2: I'm not I didn't go to Notre Dame. I like 243 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: the movie Rudy, but I can't say that I'm a 244 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 2: Notre Dame fan. But his approach and his belief system 245 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: is as at least as it pertains to DEI. Something 246 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: that I think is really damn cool. 247 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: And we stuck around because it was a pack stadium. 248 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 3: Knew it was gonna be a hard time to get out, 249 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: and we want to Even having to wait hours to 250 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 3: get out of the stadium anyway, it was just a nightmare, 251 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: but we stuck through the ceremony afterwards, and when he 252 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: said that, when she asked, it was the first question 253 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: out of her mouth, how does it feel to be 254 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 3: the first black coach to go to a championship game? 255 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 3: And there was an audible grown from the entire pretty 256 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: serious way. Everybody was just so over it. And I mean, 257 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 3: I think the only critique I could give for Margus 258 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: Freeman from that answer was that he's he's half black 259 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: kid and he's half Korean, which I would have really 260 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: liked to see him say something to the effective, well 261 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: do you have a problem with Korean's and then just 262 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: left it on that blonde, woke chick to just him 263 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: in awe and not know what to say. 264 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: I couldn't hear the crowd, but I wonder if the 265 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 2: reporter knew in the moment that she asked the question, 266 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 2: because I mean, she was I don't know, she looked 267 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: kind of younger. I mean maybe she it was one 268 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: of those things where you asked the question, or there's 269 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: somebody in her ear asking her to ask the question. 270 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: But she but she gets the question out and here's 271 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: the crowd grown, and now she's become infamous for asking 272 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: just what was a really stupid question. 273 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 3: It's like the let's go Brandon reporter at the same time, right, 274 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: And that was definitely a loaded question. It was ready 275 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: to go because James Franklin is half black, so it 276 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: was definitely either one, no matter who won the game. 277 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: That was the first question was. 278 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: So I just got it first of all, Rich seven 279 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: to four Pittsburgh from the live chat, thank you for 280 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: your rumble rant tip. He says, we want Marcus Freeman 281 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: to replace Mike Tomlin here in Pittsburgh as the coach 282 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: of the Steelers is something that really I'm a huge 283 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: NFL football fan, and I know many people in the 284 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: chat are like, got to hell with the NFL, they 285 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: went woke. But what I say to that, Steve, is like, 286 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: there are a ton actually the vast majority of players 287 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 2: and coaches in the NFL are conservatives, and I don't 288 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: want to abandon them to the predations and depravity of 289 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: the radical left because they are the worst. But Mike Tomlin, 290 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: you know, oh, he's never had a losing season, but 291 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: he loses in the first round all the time in 292 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: the playoffs and never ever heard a less meaningful stat 293 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: never had a losing seamen season. It'd be great to 294 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: have Marcus Freeman here in Pittsburgh. That would be pretty badass. 295 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: Do you think he's staying with Notre Dame or you 296 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: think he's going somewhere else? 297 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 3: You know, I don't, I don't know. I mean, he's 298 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: he's a young guy. I think he's in in his 299 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 3: like later thirties. I know he played football for Ohio State, 300 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 3: and is he's having success. I don't know why you'd 301 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 3: move on, but you never know. These guys with the 302 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 3: ambitions to take it to the next level. I would 303 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: never fault anybody for doing that. And if he wins 304 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 3: the national championship, I would think that a couple of 305 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 3: football teams out there would be knocking on his door 306 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 3: with a big payday and you wouldn't have to deal 307 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: with all of the pay and the players now in college, 308 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 3: and that's that's a nightmare. That's why I think Nick 309 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 3: Saban retired. He just didn't want to deal. 310 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: With it exactly exactly I So, okay, so see this 311 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: is this is what happens when I told you, Hey, 312 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 2: we go wherever we want. On the show, we are 313 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: talking about college football and now NFL football, So I'm 314 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: sure this was all unvarnished. No one prepared for this, 315 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 2: But we're talking about DEI. First of all, everybody's reporting 316 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: if Fox News I think was the first to break 317 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: the story. FBI closes DEI office days before the Trump inauguration. 318 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 2: But there's more to this story than meets the eye. Steve, 319 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: what's your take on what the how is the FBI 320 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: handling this? What does this look like on the inside. 321 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: So I've had a couple of moles come to me 322 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 3: with this information a couple of days ago. One told 323 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: me that they had already taken the signs down on 324 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: of the headquarters building where the DEI advisory committees reside, 325 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 3: which you have to. 326 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: Understand, they have advisory committees. 327 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: They have nine diversity advisory committees. 328 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: That what do they do these what do they do? 329 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 3: They just solicit people to come up with ideas for 330 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: them to exist. They report directly to the FBI director. 331 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 3: You're kidding me, celebrating weeks and months and whatever they have, 332 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 3: and it's mandatory three diversity trainings a year for every 333 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 3: employee at this point. But my moles were telling me, look, 334 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 3: they're taking the signs down from what they were hearing. 335 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 3: They're going to reassign the people because they're just going 336 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 3: to have the superfuge occurring from another angle, right. They 337 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 3: don't want to have them get fired by a cash 338 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: batello if he becomes a director. And then today another 339 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 3: one came forward sent me the email. Multiple people actually 340 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: did that. They officially announced that they had already shut 341 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 3: down the Diversity and Inclusion Office in December, and they're 342 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 3: reassigning these people to the Equal Employment Office, so they're 343 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 3: not getting rid of them in any way. They're just 344 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: going to infest another arm of the bureau entirely and 345 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 3: hope to carry on with their same culturally Marxist stuff 346 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 3: at the same time. But to me, it's a spinning 347 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 3: like a top the FBI to try to get into 348 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: somewhat of the good graces of an incoming administration, when 349 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 3: it's really just a desperate pr ploy to pretend to 350 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 3: be back on Team America again. Meanwhile, they've pushed forward 351 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 3: basically a cultural agenda from the DEI office for number 352 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 3: of years now. I mean they're all in on the 353 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: thirty by thirty initiative, which is not just limited to 354 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 3: the FBI, not just limited the Department of Justice. It's 355 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: a nationwide law enforcement initiative. 356 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 2: What is it. 357 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 3: It is the goal of the stated goal of thirty 358 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 3: percent female representation by twenty thirty in management of law enforcement, 359 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: not just amongst the rank and the file. But I've 360 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 3: read a lot of it. I've done deep dives into it, 361 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 3: and it is absolute Marxism. It says things like job 362 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: knowledge tests should be done away with because they're discriminatory, 363 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: and rooming standards and physical fitness standards are discriminatory. We 364 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 3: need to get rid of them. We need to get 365 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 3: rid of the white culture that permeates. We need to 366 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 3: promote more of the lgbtq AI plus rainbow Kamakazi that 367 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: is just everywhere you turn. So they're basically trying to 368 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,959 Speaker 3: infest law enforcement because they got the guns. I mean, 369 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: that's a monopoly on force. And you have a government. 370 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 3: They can't wait to take away your second amends and 371 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 3: then we can hand it off to these guys. 372 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 2: What a great point. I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean 373 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 2: it's it's about having a monopoly on force. It's about 374 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: controlling the federal the biggest, most sophisticated federal law enforcement agency, 375 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: which you know has been really on the wrong path 376 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 2: for some time. What I don't understand, Steve is is 377 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: these organizations like the FBI, or even elite institutions within 378 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: the United States military. I was in the infantry, right, 379 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: You've got to pass. There are certain things that you 380 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: have to do to get into the infantry. There are 381 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 2: certain things that you have to pass and ranger school 382 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: to go to move on to the next phase. These 383 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 2: are past fail things. And but my larger point is this, 384 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 2: why is the focus in these organizations so much on 385 00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: inclusion when by definition they are exclusionary. We want the best, 386 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, the smartest, and no 387 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: one gives a shit what color their skin is, or 388 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: what God they worship, or how much money they make 389 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: or any of that. Just there's one standard, pass it 390 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: or not. If you don't pass it, you're out. So 391 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 2: why the focus on inclusion when these organizations are exclusionary 392 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: by by definition? 393 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: Because communists destroy everything. That's what they're prime directive is 394 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 3: they're not destroying the military, they're not destroying the FBI. 395 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 3: They're building their own. And when they get people in 396 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 3: there who know at their core, they know I mean, 397 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 3: I guess a lot of them are indoctrinate at the 398 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 3: point where they feel entitled to things, but they know 399 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 3: that they can't pass those tests. That means they're compromised. 400 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: That means that they're getting paid one hundred and thirty 401 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 3: five thousand dollars a year for a job that they're 402 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 3: not capable of doing. So if you ask them to jump, 403 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: they say how high? They'll just follow orders all day. 404 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 3: They're getting the people that are all in on these ideaologies, 405 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 3: the communism and the Marxism, the Dei madness, because they 406 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: then look at anyone who's saying things like you and 407 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 3: me are that like, we don't care about those things. 408 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 3: We just want people who are capable of putting bad 409 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 3: guys in jail. Well, you're the enemy. The I've made 410 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: the comparison recently, and it's an analogy. I think it 411 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 3: actually kind of holds really well, and that is that 412 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: an FBI is Skynet from the terminator because sky net 413 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: and it's code, it's ones and zeros. It's not good, 414 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: it's not bad. It's just a computer. And then it 415 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 3: becomes sentient and then it comes to the conclusion that 416 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 3: it's coding says it has to defend itself from the threat, 417 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 3: and the humans are the threat because they can unplug it. Right, 418 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: So it goes after the humans. Government bureaucracy, in this 419 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: case the FBI, because of all the powers it has, 420 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 3: particularly after the Patriot Act, is skynet. Its growth is 421 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 3: its prime directive. Government bureaucracies see success as growing, getting 422 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 3: more capable, getting more funding, getting more personnel. So inevitably 423 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 3: they will come to the conclusion that the threats are 424 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 3: people who want to bring it to heal, and they 425 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: will go after the small government types. And now we've 426 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 3: got them to go do that, and we've given them 427 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: the institutional authorities to do it. And now we've staffed 428 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: them with those people who believe in that because their 429 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 3: god is the government and they want to grow as well, 430 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 3: and they will jump how high, sir, whenever they bring 431 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: it forward. So the DEI, the powers that we've given 432 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 3: them through like Patriot Acts, it's all contributing to the 433 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: bottom of the slippery slope where we find ourselves right now, 434 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: which is why I was really concerned what I saw 435 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 3: like after the New Orleans attack, A lot of people 436 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 3: on the right I thought made a I said, you're 437 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: making a punctuation error. The statement is the FBI should 438 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 3: not be the arbitra of right think and wrong think, 439 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: and should not be going after moms at school board 440 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: meetings and grandma's at the capitol period, not Comma, and 441 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 3: going after the radical Muslim terrorists. I understand that the 442 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: AWA hobbyism is evil, and communism is evil, and isis 443 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 3: is evil, But you can't give the power to the 444 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 3: government because inevitably it is inevitable judgment day and terminator 445 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 3: is inevitable. Judgment day is inevitable that the government will 446 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 3: come for people who are its greatest threat, and that 447 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 3: is people who believe in small government and are liberty 448 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 3: minded and they are not willing to trade their freedom 449 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 3: for security. We're at the bottom of the slippery slope now, 450 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 3: we're at the end of the Knee Moler poem. First 451 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: they came for the trade unionists, then they came for 452 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 3: the communists, and then a socialists. Then they came for 453 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: the Jew and I said nothing because I was not 454 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: a Jew. And then they came for me and there 455 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 3: was no one left to speak for me. 456 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: Well, and you look at what the FBI Field office 457 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: put out on Twitter. Just what at three o'clock, our 458 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 2: friend Brianna Morello put it out, the FBI is still 459 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 2: arresting people for January sixth. So this from the FBI 460 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: Washington Field offs, California. Man arrested on felony and misdemeanor 461 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: charges for actions during January sixth, US Capital Breach, Steve, 462 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: What the hell is going on here? How in God's 463 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: name four days before President Trump has inaugurated. But by 464 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 2: the way, this inauguration, to me, I gotta say, I mean, 465 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: it's outside. The threat of drones to me, are very real. 466 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: And yet the fact that the FBI is diverting any 467 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: resources at all period to going after January six ers here, 468 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: this many years after the fact, is not just a 469 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 2: little concerning. It's just off the shelf. What the hell 470 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 2: is going on? How is this still happening? 471 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 3: The drone threat is actually real. I got another person 472 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 3: today send me some information from the inside about how 473 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: they removed like the GEO fence ability. Basically, you could 474 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: put a drone up and it would restrict where it 475 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: would fly, the programming it. You couldn't fly it over 476 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 3: the White House. And these are all made in China 477 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 3: and they've taken that capability out. Now you can fly forever. 478 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 3: So there's a huge security concern here. But to the 479 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: January sixth question, I've said this forever. They're not going 480 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 3: to stop. There's nothing that's going to stop them other 481 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 3: than a new director and a complete overhaul. And they 482 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 3: are even setting the land mines up now for a 483 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 3: cash battel to come in. But they really stink at 484 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 3: their operational security. I know people on the inside telling 485 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 3: me these things because they're in the rooms telling me 486 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 3: these things of what the plan is, and the plan 487 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 3: is pretty simple. They believe that they can stall cash 488 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: batel for months if needed, and they're going to say, look, 489 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: we got to do a background check, Oh we can't 490 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 3: get you your clearance, you can't come in, and then 491 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 3: eventually when he inevitably gets in months down the road. Meanwhile, 492 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 3: they're still promoting people and do executive leaderships where it's 493 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 3: gonna be hard to remove them, putting all their DEI 494 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 3: people around continuing to push forward these J six cases 495 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 3: or other cases that they're going to spin off of them. 496 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 3: He's going to get in and then they're going to say, oh, well, 497 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: we got fifty five field offices. You got to go around, 498 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 3: press the flesh and shake hands with everyone, and that 499 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 3: could take years. They're just going to try to wait 500 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: a mat and then get rid of it and move 501 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 3: on to the next one, because the Bureau is forever. 502 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 3: But like I said, they're not good at this because 503 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 3: they don't know that Cash Betel already has a security 504 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 3: clear it's top secret, so he can walk in on 505 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: day one, as is his plan to do. And there 506 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 3: are people who are pushing this out to us and 507 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 3: getting this information to me and my friends, and we 508 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 3: just bring it straight to Cash. So he's fully briefed 509 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: and aware of these things. But it's going to take 510 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: not just an appetite from a Cash battel and from 511 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 3: the people on the inside. It's going to take an 512 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 3: appetite from the political right to get beyond the belief that, well, 513 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: we just get rid of Christopher Ray and everything goes back. 514 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 2: To me exactly. I mean, Cash is going to need 515 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: you know, just like Pete is going to need at 516 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 2: the Pentagon and the Department of Defense a small cadre 517 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: of you know, one hundred percent loyal people. And it's 518 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 2: almost going to be like, you know, when you're in Afghanistan, 519 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 2: almost like a counterinsurgency. You're going to have people there 520 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: that want to help you. You're gonna have people there 521 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 2: that don't. Sometimes you're not going to know the difference. 522 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 2: Sometimes the people that don't want to help you are 523 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: going to tell you that they do want to help you. 524 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: I mean, without that cadre of people who are loyal 525 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: and willing to help him advance what is an America 526 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 2: First agenda and really, you know, curtail the power of 527 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 2: the FBI by removing some of these political operators, it's 528 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 2: gonna be very difficult for one person to do. I 529 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: mean a perfect example is what they're doing with this 530 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 2: DEI stuff. They took down the DEI signs in these 531 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 2: nine DEI foughts reports like kind of unbelievable that our 532 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: taxpayer don't I got to pay taxes for nine DEI 533 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: advisory boards. Now, these are agents that could be trying 534 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: to stop terrorists, could be trying to stop terrorist attack, 535 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: but No, they're advising and reporting directly to Christopher Ray 536 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 2: about diversity, equity and inclusion programs and about you know, 537 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 2: LGBTQ holidays and like it's just honestly, it's we are 538 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: so far off the beaten path of the FBI's mission. 539 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: But it's not just the FBI, the DDS in the 540 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: same boat. How does cash if he gets in there 541 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: and he's got this cadre of people, what do you 542 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: do with those DEI folks that were in those offices? 543 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: You still do you find him? Do you let them go? 544 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 3: Like? 545 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: What do you do? What's the process that he would 546 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: have to use to remove people that just aren't consonant 547 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 2: with the FBI mission. 548 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 3: I think it's about your tolerance or willingness to grip 549 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: it and rip it, Like I mean, if you've installed 550 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 3: me in there, I would do things like, Hey, there's 551 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: this Supreme Court case called Navy verse Egan. It says 552 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 3: that the agency has huge width when it comes to 553 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 3: its giving and bestowing and then revoking security clearances. I 554 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 3: would just revoke clearances from hundreds and hundreds of people. 555 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 3: But I think that that's going to be difficult sell 556 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 3: for a lot of people. 557 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: So you just revoke their clearances. 558 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 3: You get, well, this is exactly what they do to me. 559 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 3: They suspended my clearance, revoke my clearance, and then I 560 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 3: can't work in the facility. I'm an employee who's unpaid 561 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 3: and definitely suspended until they adjudicate that, which we'll get 562 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 3: to in twenty one point fifty right, what I mean, 563 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 3: that's the hack that these I see the intelligence community 564 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 3: has around whistleblower protection. So for me, and it's not 565 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 3: specific your question, I brought for a whistlebler disclosure. The 566 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 3: FBI suspended my clearance. They can say that they didn't 567 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 3: retaliate against me for whistle blowing. They suspended my clearance. 568 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 3: Why do they suspend my clearance? Well, they had reasonably 569 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 3: that I lacked loyalty to the United States government because 570 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: according to them, I looked at the employee handbook improperly. 571 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: That's the case that was made. 572 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: That to me is insane. 573 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: So you can use that it's good for the goose 574 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 3: is good for the gander. You could assign people to 575 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: be the supervisors of a broom closet and make their 576 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 3: lives miserable, and they're pretty DEI people are not really 577 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 3: the most resilient of sorts. So maybe saying like no 578 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 3: more work from home, people themself select to go out, 579 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: or if you're a senior leadership, hey, we're not firing you, 580 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: but we're going to push you down back to the 581 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: gspay scale. And due to the Soros prosecutors around the country, 582 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 3: we have a surge of violent crime, and you're going 583 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 3: to go and be at a violent crime squad in 584 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 3: Chicago or Memphis or San Juan, Puerto Rico. Oh, you 585 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: don't want to do that, Well, there's the door for you. 586 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting, So how would so this is explain to 587 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 2: me how this would be done. You take them off 588 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: the GS pay schedule and you can send them to 589 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: an FBI team out at one of these remote locations. 590 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say I would actually stand up a 591 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: nationwide crime suppression effort around the country to aid our 592 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: local partners, who the FBI theoretically holds in such high regard, 593 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: they really just want to be there to support them. 594 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 3: And we're going to augment your investigative divisions with our 595 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: technological prowess or investigative expertise, and we're going to send 596 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 3: guys who are bragging how they've been in the FBI 597 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 3: for eighteen or twenty two years with all their experience. Meanwhile, 598 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 3: they have less than five years of actual experience to 599 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 3: go and head up a task or be a member 600 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 3: of a task for us, and so many of them 601 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 3: are addicted to the Washington DC lifestyle. They're not going 602 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 3: to want to do it, or we're gonna assign them 603 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 3: to another executive role that is based in Huntsville, Alabama, 604 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 3: which they're not gonna find two appetized. 605 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: So you think a lot of these agents that get 606 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: stationed at the bureau in Washington, d C. They just 607 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 2: like the swanky lifestyle and they don't want to leave it. 608 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 3: Twenty percent of personnel or in Washington, d C. Between 609 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 3: the headquarters in the Washington Field Office and then that 610 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: doesn't include Richmond and Baltimore, even Philadelphia and people in leadership, 611 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 3: they buy a brownstone and they know that every eighteen 612 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 3: months you're going to ping pong between headquarters and the field. 613 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: So they will try to pick going between Washington Field 614 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 3: Office and headquarters. They don't have them leave or Richmond 615 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 3: or Baltimore. They can just stay there and they don't 616 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 3: actually experience the rest of the country and theoretically, that's 617 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 3: why they're supposed to be doing that, to get a 618 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: good grasp on what the field is doing. But they don't. 619 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 3: They live a completely separate lifestyle and they have no 620 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 3: appreciation for it. Their passion is in promoting. It's not 621 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 3: even doing the job that theoretically that they have. It's 622 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: what do I have to say? What email do I 623 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 3: have to send out? What fake initiative or even what 624 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 3: new name for an initiative that already exists. I'll come 625 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 3: up with a new acronym and I'll put that on 626 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 3: my resume, and I'll promote to the next level. It's 627 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 3: a completely contrived system. It's a construct that selects people 628 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 3: who are only capable of promoting in that system. They're 629 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 3: not capable individuals. They couldn't run a field office or 630 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 3: even run an investigation because so many of them to 631 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 3: start that process start it when they have five years 632 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 3: of investigative experience, and then they've promoted and they've moved on. 633 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 3: So you don't have effective leadership at any left of 634 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 3: the FBI. 635 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 2: I mean, so obviously the organization is in dire need 636 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 2: of reform, you know, cash, But tell us about the 637 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, I think they're gonna slow walk his confirmation, 638 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 2: you know. But the Democrats are saying, oh, these FBI 639 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 2: background checks not just for cash but Tell, but but 640 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 2: also for Tulca Gabbard and RFK, they're incomplete and they're late, 641 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: and we don't have so we're gonna have to push 642 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 2: back their hearing. What goes into these what goes into 643 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 2: these background checks? Like for Pete Haggs that that was 644 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 2: down in DC for his hearing, and the Democrats now 645 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 2: this back of the background checks they are incomplete. Well, 646 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 2: what the hell is incomplete about? I mean, I don't 647 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 2: this is the Biden FBI. I mean, shouldn't the Democrats 648 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 2: be happy with the quality of their background checks. 649 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 3: I've done background checks for presidential appointments. There's a acronym 650 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 3: that you have to follow, Carla beefad where you go 651 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 3: to different people who are listed in their background Right, 652 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 3: this is a reference for me, and they try to 653 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 3: be as thorough as possible. Look, I've done a background 654 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 3: checks for a judge and they sent me to an 655 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 3: electronics store that he worked at when he was in 656 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 3: high school. And you have to go see character, you know, 657 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 3: a see it. Our responsibility I mean, you work through 658 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: this and the way that they do it and they 659 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 3: can slow walk it is absurd. Right. So I did 660 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 3: one and then I sent it back to headquarters and 661 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 3: they they would send it back to me. No, we 662 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 3: don't know. That's not good enough. Why because you have 663 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 3: to follow the exact template. You didn't follow the template 664 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 3: the way that you a you you didn't indent the 665 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 3: paragraph the way we wanted to, or the bullet point 666 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 3: should have been a dark circle and not an open circle, 667 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 3: and they will go back and forth with you and 668 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 3: drag it out. And that was for a judge who 669 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 3: was going to be appointed. It was a district judge. 670 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: And they have all these mechanisms to slow roll these things, 671 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 3: which is why I don't think we should rely on 672 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 3: the FBI to carry forward these background checks at all. 673 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 3: I mean, and specifically when these people have been vetted 674 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 3: throughout their entire career, right, I mean, that's one of 675 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 3: the comments. 676 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 2: Interesting. It's interesting because like some of the people like, 677 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 2: first of all, like if you're divorced, you know, because 678 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,879 Speaker 2: some people were saying like, well, you know, the FBI 679 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 2: didn't talk to to Pete's ex wives, and I'm thinking, well, 680 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 2: holy shit like I wouldn't. I wouldn't want the FBI 681 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 2: talking to my ex wife. I gotta believe she probably 682 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 2: doesn't have a whole heck of a lot of good 683 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 2: things to say about me to the FBI, you know 684 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 2: what I mean? So how do you even navigate that? 685 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 2: And that was one question, And the other part of 686 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 2: the question I had is like this, they can clearly 687 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 2: so they can use the background check process essentially as 688 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 2: as an agent of the deep state to slow walk 689 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 2: somebody that would seek to reform the institution. I mean, 690 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 2: they can clearly do that to delay a confirmation. 691 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 3: No question about it. And they could just say, look, 692 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 3: we were not able to locate this person right now. 693 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 3: I mean they were listed as a character reference, or 694 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 3: they were a former neighbor when they lived at this 695 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 3: house ten years ago, and we just can't find the neighbor. 696 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 3: So this is an incomplete background check. They're going to 697 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 3: try to find everything they possibly can to slow these up. 698 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 3: I think that the case needs to be made that 699 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 3: the FBI is just if you're what you're supposed to be, 700 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 3: the elite, the pre eminent law enforcement agency for the country, 701 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 3: and you're unable to locate this person, Well, then maybe 702 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 3: we should question whether or not your prowess is there 703 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 3: to even carry forward a full background. 704 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 2: They're able to find people like January sixth, great. 705 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 3: Now a geofens what's wrong with you? And there's also 706 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 3: a fundamental misunderstanding of what the FBI's capabilities are. And 707 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about to the Kavanaugh confirmation when there 708 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 3: were these ridiculous allegations about him in his past, and 709 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 3: the statement went out from the Democrats in the Senate 710 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 3: that well, the FBI should investigate whether or not these happened. 711 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 3: And I was in the Bureau at the time. I 712 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 3: remember thinking, like, we're not the magic police. It's a 713 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 3: ceteral crime. But like if it happened thirty years ago, 714 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 3: you think that we're going to like walk in and 715 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 3: what we found the evidence in this room little place 716 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 3: and we can't know where it happened, or when it happened, 717 00:37:58,920 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 3: or how it happened. 718 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 2: Who was like we know, we have no idea. 719 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 3: So they're they're limited their capacity, and that just needs 720 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 3: to be flatly pointed out. Right, there's no amount of 721 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 3: checking on somebody's high school employment that the FBI is 722 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 3: going to do that's going to make or break this. 723 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 3: We've got the votes whipped already. 724 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 2: Let's move on, all right, So let's let's pivot and 725 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: talk about Christopher Ray. He went on sixty minutes this 726 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 2: last weekend, and he dropped all sorts of bombs, like 727 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 2: metaphorical bombs, about China infiltrating almost every aspect of American society. 728 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 2: Listen to this sound bite, and I want to get 729 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 2: your reaction. 730 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 5: China's cyber program is by far and away the world's largest, 731 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 5: bigger than that of every major nation combined, and has 732 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 5: stolen more of Americans personal and corporate data than that 733 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 5: of every nation big or small combined. But even beyond 734 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 5: the cyber theft, there's another part of the Chinese cyber 735 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 5: threat that I think has not gotten the attention publicly 736 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 5: that I think desperately deserves, and that is Chinese government's 737 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:12,720 Speaker 5: prepositioning on American civilian critical infrastructure to lie in wait, 738 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 5: on those networks to be in a position to wreak 739 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 5: havoc and can inflict real world harm at a time 740 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 5: and place of their choosing. 741 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 2: The Chinese have already insinuated malware into critical American infrastructure. 742 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 5: That's correct, Like what things like water treatment plants. We're 743 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,680 Speaker 5: talking about transportation systems. We're talking about targeting of our 744 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 5: energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines, and recently 745 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 5: we've seen targeting of our telecommunications system. 746 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 2: So all of this comes out what the guy's already said, 747 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,919 Speaker 2: he's going to resign it. Oh interesting. His resignation came 748 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 2: like the day after the fbioig report that said that 749 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 2: there were twenty six FBI informants crowd on January sixth, 750 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 2: despite the fact that the FBI is still hunting down 751 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: January six Grandma's even to this day. Here he is 752 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 2: talking about China on his way out the door, about 753 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 2: the dire threat that they faced to this country. They 754 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 2: have hacked into using their cyber program, critical American infrastructure 755 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 2: from water treatment facilities and everything else under the sun. 756 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 2: So meanwhile, while authors was happening, I'm sitting there thinking 757 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 2: as he's speaking, but the FBI is spending their time 758 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 2: rating mar Lago. I just what the hell? What did 759 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 2: the FBI do to stop China from doing this? If 760 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 2: they knew that China was doing it, what are we 761 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 2: doing to stop it? 762 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 3: Well, from what my understanding is that particularly under the 763 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 3: Biden administration, there were actionable arrestable cases, counterintelligence cases against 764 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 3: agents of China in the United States, and the Department 765 00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 3: of Justice said, we have gotten a directive that we're 766 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 3: not gonna go. 767 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 2: Out at all. Why wait a second, for this is 768 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 2: this is this is real? 769 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and you have to wonder about level of 770 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 3: compromise from the human room. But at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania 771 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 3: Avenue and look, look, the FBI allowed through Operation fox Hunt. 772 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,960 Speaker 3: They called it a police station in New York City. 773 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 3: A Chinese. The Chinese stood up a they called a 774 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 3: police station in our most important city in Manhattan, and 775 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 3: they went out and basically a black bagged, threw a 776 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 3: bag over head and repatriated Chinese people who had escaped 777 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 3: the CCP and come here and repatriated them back to Beijing. 778 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 3: For over a year, we allowed that to operate in 779 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 3: New York City. 780 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 2: Okay, you get what Why. 781 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 3: That's a great question, because I guess they were devoting 782 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 3: too many resources to the over fifteen hundred arrest for 783 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 3: January sixth. So much of what does or doesn't happen 784 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 3: is within discretion of these government agencies, and they're underneath 785 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,720 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice. And they're getting their marching orders. 786 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not related to China, but all the 787 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 3: concerns leading into the election about election fraud. Right now, 788 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 3: the FBI announced all the time, we have an election 789 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 3: crime unit, election crimes, election crimes. But if you know, 790 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 3: you know, election crimes to them. And I know this 791 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,839 Speaker 3: because I knew people that are all part of that. 792 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,720 Speaker 3: They said, the DOJ said, we will not investigate election 793 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 3: fraud at all. We're only going to investigate threats to 794 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 3: the poll workers or voters. Why because we can call 795 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 3: it election crime, but we can get the outcomes that 796 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 3: we want because they were anticipating having the frauds available 797 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 3: to win. The FBI is a secret police force, It's 798 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 3: an American Stazi. At this point, they only do the 799 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 3: bidding of the party, and the party at this point 800 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 3: is sympathetic, if not wholly beholden to the Chinese Communist Party. 801 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 2: I mean, is this why the FBI didn't really pursue 802 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,240 Speaker 2: a vigorous investigation into the bidens. I mean, the FBI 803 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 2: knew that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. They knew it, 804 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 2: and yet they allowed these fifty one intelligence officials to 805 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,320 Speaker 2: interfere in a twenty twenty election, and many polls believe 806 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: Many polls have cited that seven percent of people would 807 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 2: have changed their votes if just that and that alone 808 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 2: was reported on accurately. But is this why the FBI 809 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 2: just said, screw it, I'm not prosecuting Joe Biden because 810 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 2: we know he's going to be the president. We don't 811 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 2: want to mess around with him. I don't understand they 812 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 2: went after Trump, and. 813 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 3: They also proactively suppressed that story. They sent agents to 814 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 3: social media companies and said that it was Russian disinformation 815 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,720 Speaker 3: so they should censor it. When they had the laptop 816 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 3: in their possession. So they were not even a passive 817 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,279 Speaker 3: interest in this one. Well, I didn't really involve us. 818 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 3: They used the laptop to pross Hunter Biden lapped for 819 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,240 Speaker 3: the gun case. They had to verify that it existed 820 00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,200 Speaker 3: in that case. But they're hardly a non part of 821 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 3: the organization, despite what Christopher Ray might claim at this point. Look, 822 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 3: they interfered in the twenty twenty the interview. In the 823 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen election, James Comy he not only pulled the 824 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 3: reins back on Hillary Clinton that no reasonable prosecutor would 825 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 3: bring charges against her. He after the election of Trump, 826 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,239 Speaker 3: and then during that time we had the Russian collusion 827 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 3: stuff that was going on, Crossfire Hurricane. He sent agents 828 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 3: to go and get Mike Flynn. But one of the 829 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 3: biggest stories that didn't get reported widely as it should 830 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,760 Speaker 3: have been. I think it was the most underreported story 831 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 3: about the FBI in twenty twenty four was that James 832 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 3: Comy in twenty sixteen ran in off the books honey 833 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 3: pot in scheme where he had two He had two 834 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 3: undercover female agents infiltrate Donald Trump's twenty sixteen campaign for 835 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 3: president to dig up dirt that they could then bring 836 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 3: charges on to engage in sexual activity with members of 837 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 3: the campaign. 838 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 2: What wait a second, This is for how I've not 839 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 2: heard about this. 840 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,320 Speaker 3: This is reported by Kerry Pickett at the Washington Times. 841 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 3: A FBI whistleblower came forward and she's gotten those communications 842 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 3: are gotten worse than this, It gets worse. It came 843 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 3: to light because one of the agents was photographed by media. 844 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 3: The FBI went to media and said, that is an 845 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 3: informant whose life would be at risk if you publish it. 846 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 3: So they spiked the story. And then the FBI turned 847 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 3: around and took those two female agents sent one to 848 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 3: CIA so she couldn't be called as a witness, and 849 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 3: promoted the other one. And she is currently in the 850 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 3: upper echelons of management of the FBI today. 851 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 2: Okay, this is crazy to me. 852 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 3: How okay, it was very underreported. 853 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,760 Speaker 2: How I mean, this seems like a huge deal. 854 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 3: It's off the books too. There's there's no authorization to 855 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 3: do that. You can't use resources in that way. James 856 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 3: Comy deserves to be in solitary confinement at the end 857 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 3: of an l ship. 858 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 2: One of these female agents that are saying I'm just 859 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 2: gonna sleep with I mean, they should know. I mean, 860 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 2: this isn't part of the agent training program for women. 861 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 3: This is who occupies the halls of power now in 862 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 3: the FBI, particularly around James Comy. He had created this 863 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 3: image as being like beyond reproach, right, he was just 864 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 3: so great, like his book is called like a Higher Loyalty, 865 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 3: I mean, spare me, like gag. The guy had an 866 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,040 Speaker 3: entourage follow him around. And these are the people that 867 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 3: are actually in leadership right now. They were Comy Hanger honors. 868 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 3: They were called the College of Cardinals colloquially within the 869 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 3: FBI because they were just beyond all questioning. They had 870 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 3: integrity as the day was long, and they really do 871 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 3: think that they are doing the lord's work at the 872 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,480 Speaker 3: FBI because they have to stop the guy they call 873 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,520 Speaker 3: literally Hitler from becoming president. 874 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 2: So what do you make of this Zuckerberg stuff? Like 875 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 2: now he's apparently a conservative and giving a million bucks 876 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 2: a Trump inauguration. I saw this clip of him on 877 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 2: with Joe Rogan and Zuckerberg is talking about hunting, and 878 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 2: I'm like, uh, something tells me that he doesn't really 879 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,880 Speaker 2: know what he's talking about. He's talking about bow hunting, 880 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 2: and Joe Rogan's just like asking him basic basic question. 881 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,600 Speaker 2: He's like, oh, what kind of bow do you have? 882 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 2: And he's just like, I don't know. 883 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 3: I had one to shoot the arrows. 884 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, I like to use my he was 885 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 2: it's like ridiculous. He's like, I really enjoy using my 886 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,839 Speaker 2: bow and arrow to hunt. I swear to God. That's 887 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 2: like almost almost a damn direct quote. He's like, Oh, 888 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 2: that's cool. What kind of bow do you have? He's 889 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: just like crickets And he's like, well, who who taught 890 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 2: you how to shoot? And he's like just the guys. 891 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 2: So the guy like, clearly he's not telling the truth 892 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,839 Speaker 2: about that, so is he just like is he kind 893 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 2: of just like pretending to be on the right now 894 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 2: that Trump is coming into power and he doesn't want 895 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:55,680 Speaker 2: Trump to come after him. 896 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 3: All the tech pros are right. I mean, you got Bezos. 897 00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 3: Bezos is probably one of the most evil ones out 898 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 3: there who is now going to be on the stage. 899 00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 3: And yeah, you go to Mark Zuckerberg, who contributed four 900 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars exactly nail in voting in twenty twenty, 901 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 3: and then he came to the Rogan Show and he's 902 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 3: saying like, oh, well, the government came after me. Hey, Mark, 903 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 3: you own the largest platform on the planet. You know 904 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 3: what you could have done. You could have gone on 905 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 3: your platform and said the government's coming after me, and 906 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 3: you know what happened. You would have turned into X 907 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 3: and people would have said, like, hey, this guy actually 908 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 3: cares about free speech. But no, he censored everything and 909 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 3: he can do all the fake jiu jitsu that he 910 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 3: wants and have the fat boy haircuts that he has. 911 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 3: And his necklace there which I noticed didn't have a 912 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 3: crucifix on it. It kind of looked like a computer ship. 913 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 3: Because I guess tech is his god, and it's it's 914 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 3: an opportunist. At this point, he's shown his true colors. 915 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 3: And people show their true colors in two situations, when 916 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 3: they have everything to lose and when they have nothing 917 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,560 Speaker 3: to lose. And he's in sort of a unique situation 918 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 3: because he perceives that he has everything to lose because 919 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,280 Speaker 3: he has this big, giant conglomerate, but really his sugar daddy, 920 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 3: the US government is gone. Now he's got nothing to lose. 921 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 3: He's going to show his true colors. And he's an opportunist, 922 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 3: as is Bezos. And I think for anybody who has 923 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 3: above room temperature IQ, you see, it's completely phony. He's 924 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 3: not able to answer these questions and he's not conservative. 925 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 3: What he's doing is using your predisposition against you when 926 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 3: his sort is in power, when the Communists have the power, 927 00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,520 Speaker 3: boot on the throat of his enemy. When you're in 928 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 3: power and your predisposition is hey, look, I'm magnanimous. I 929 00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 3: want to have open conversations. I believe in the First Amendment, 930 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 3: lots of ideas. Let's let's engage. He's like, huh, I'm 931 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 3: going to use that to get into your good graces 932 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 3: when I'm in a position of weakness, I use your 933 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 3: predisposition to help me. When I'm a position of strength, 934 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,440 Speaker 3: know your role and shut your hole boot to throat. 935 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 2: Interesting. God, man, that's fascinating. I mean so, I mean, 936 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,399 Speaker 2: this is precisely the reason why Bill Gates has been 937 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 2: reportedly like trying to hang around mar Lago and get 938 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,120 Speaker 2: a meeting with Trump. I mean, that would be I 939 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,759 Speaker 2: hope that that didn't happen, but it really makes him 940 00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 2: eat the bugs, Bill Gates, you can eat the bugs 941 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,399 Speaker 2: and you can live in the pod. Man. You'd force 942 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 2: it on the rest of us. That'd be so fun. 943 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 2: It's kind of an amazing thing to behold all these 944 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 2: tech bros going down to mar Lago to kiss the 945 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,759 Speaker 2: ring of Trump. And clearly they worked against this guy 946 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,520 Speaker 2: diligently for the last four years, but now that he won, 947 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 2: they all want to be in his inner circle. You know, 948 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 2: It's just really is something to behold. Man, What do 949 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,319 Speaker 2: you think? What do you think about Congress today? One 950 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 2: hundred and forty five Democrats voting against the bill to 951 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,759 Speaker 2: deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes. How is it 952 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 2: possible that we live in America today where one hundred 953 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 2: and forty five Democrats are voting against something like this, 954 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 2: and then on top of that, there's something like three 955 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,399 Speaker 2: hundred thousand into five hundred thousand missing children at our 956 00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 2: border just under the four years of Joe Biden's presidency. 957 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 2: How is it possible that the FBI isn't singularly focused 958 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 2: on this stuff, Steve, I'm so. 959 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 3: Much of the FBI's agenda is predetermined with their fake metrics, 960 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 3: with their quota systems. And one of the other side 961 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 3: things to that is there's a pr game here. They 962 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,440 Speaker 3: don't want to draw attention to these things by investigating them. 963 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:32,839 Speaker 3: If they come up with a big bus and they 964 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 3: recover a couple of dozen children who are being sex traffic, 965 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 3: well then that takes away from the narrative, well that's 966 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 3: not really going on there. That takes away from the 967 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 3: Joe Biden types who can stand up and say, well, 968 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 3: you know, the numbers went down during my administration, like 969 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 3: the numbers of border patrol agents doing their jobs went down, 970 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,839 Speaker 3: but we all know that it's been millions who cross over. 971 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 3: So we're just going to lie to your face on 972 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 3: this one. Look that the communist Democrats in the House 973 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 3: that vote for that. They're not worried about accountability at 974 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,200 Speaker 3: this point, right. I mean, they're going to say, you know, 975 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 3: whatever they have to to their base at home and 976 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,319 Speaker 3: find whatever they can in there and say, oh, you know, 977 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 3: those evil, vicious, vile Republicans. They just want to send 978 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 3: Grandma home. They want to send u Buela back across 979 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 3: the border. Talking about it before, like those narratives are 980 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 3: already set, and the legacy media has those those reports, 981 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 3: has those stories already set to go and click publish, 982 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 3: and they're going to try to appeal to people's sensibilities 983 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 3: and say like, well, do you want to break up 984 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,280 Speaker 3: this family? Do you want to tell the salab story 985 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 3: about ninety year old grandma who has had a foot 986 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 3: amputated because of her diabetes because it couldn't get treated 987 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,919 Speaker 3: by our medical system because we couldn't get her free 988 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 3: health care and time and her granddaughter's got to work 989 00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 3: three minimum wage jobs to do it. Do you want 990 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 3: to break up this family? Yes, we have to break 991 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,800 Speaker 3: up the family because they're all legal aliens. 992 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think? I mean, 993 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,960 Speaker 2: you could see the media narrative about cash forming from 994 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 2: you know, one hundred miles away. They're going to try 995 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 2: to tie him to QAnon. I mean, that is definitely 996 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 2: that the seeds of that media narrative are definitely being planted. 997 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,319 Speaker 2: I don't know when his confirmation hearing is set, but 998 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,600 Speaker 2: to me, obviously he's one of the most if not 999 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,920 Speaker 2: the most important. I mean, all of the cabinet nominations 1000 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 2: are important, but the FBI director is critically important because, 1001 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 2: you know, I still wonder if the organization can be 1002 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 2: brought back. I mean, because you know, Steve, they have 1003 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:36,280 Speaker 2: a long history of really doing some pretty terrible things, 1004 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 2: you know, going all the way back to Martin Luther 1005 00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 2: King Junior and Jay Edgar Hoover talking about tournament camps 1006 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 2: for people. It's just an organization, really, and I'm not 1007 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 2: saying that there aren't good people in there that that 1008 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 2: are dedicated to its core mission. You know, the purity 1009 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,360 Speaker 2: of its core mission. Clearly those people exist. They're giving 1010 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 2: you some great intel so that you can help perform 1011 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 2: the organization. But man, I just what does cash Betel 1012 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 2: have in story? Do you have any thoughts on what 1013 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 2: his confirmation hearing will look like? What do you think 1014 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 2: the Democrats are going to try to do to him. 1015 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 3: I think the line of attack, even from media that's 1016 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 3: reached out to me that were clearly writing hit pieces, 1017 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 3: they wanted to go after his charitable foundation, which interesting 1018 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 3: old strategy, Cotton. He has a charity that helps whistleblowers 1019 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 3: and military veterans. If you think that's a vulnerability, good 1020 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,879 Speaker 3: for you. But I think they're going to try to 1021 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:33,399 Speaker 3: just attach him as being a Trump devotee. And they're saying, well, 1022 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 3: that's wholly inappropriate. It should be a nonpartisan position. But 1023 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 3: all they have to do is point to the fact 1024 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 3: that James Comy is basically an action figure for Biden 1025 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 3: Harris wearing all their swag at that point, and then 1026 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 3: Andy McCabe took over and he was running crossfire Hurricane, 1027 00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,279 Speaker 3: and you have Christopher Ray who withheld the Hunter Biden 1028 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 3: laptop story on top of overseeing the J six persecutions 1029 00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,480 Speaker 3: and sending pro lifers to prison using the Face Act 1030 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 3: a rate of ninety two percent. Just grossly Uh, there's 1031 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 3: there's no tip for tat on that one at all. 1032 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 3: I think all that is gonna be thrown at him. 1033 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,759 Speaker 3: But ultimately he's got to say and the message is 1034 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,320 Speaker 3: gonna be. Look, it's refreshing that he wears his biases 1035 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 3: on his sleeve. And what has he actually done in 1036 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 3: his track record? His track record was exposing the corruption 1037 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,280 Speaker 3: in the FBI. I'm sorry if the truth favored one 1038 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 3: candidate over another. The truth is the truth, and that's 1039 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 3: what he did. That's what he did with the Russia 1040 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 3: collusion stuff. And he also brings a unique background that 1041 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,040 Speaker 3: he can push back on it if he wants to 1042 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 3: do the Marcus Freeman, which will be great. It's to 1043 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 3: say to whoever is on the Senate Judiciary Committee going 1044 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 3: after him. Look, I'm a man of color and I 1045 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 3: was a defense attorney. Do you do you have a 1046 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:47,879 Speaker 3: problem with that? 1047 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,120 Speaker 2: Liz Warren, Yeah, it's gonna be. It is kind of 1048 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 2: funny that the Cash Battel, the Democrats are a bunch 1049 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 2: of white Democrats are gonna be going after cash Battel 1050 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 2: and trying to thwart him from being the first FBI 1051 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 2: director of color, right, which you think would be something 1052 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,439 Speaker 2: that they would they would absolutely love. 1053 00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 1054 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,760 Speaker 2: But but Cash Battel is to me, he's just unbelievably competent, 1055 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,840 Speaker 2: you know, and he his guy who's getting awards for 1056 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 2: going after terrorists under Barack Obama, and now they don't 1057 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 2: want him to run the show because they're afraid of 1058 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 2: him exposing and reforming the FBI. It's just absolutely needs 1059 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 2: to happen. So probably a tough question for you. Cash 1060 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,960 Speaker 2: Battel is confirmed, and he asked you to go back, 1061 00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 2: would you go back? 1062 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 3: I would go back to help cash Battel whatever he 1063 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,320 Speaker 3: needed for me. I think he's a unique guy. He's 1064 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,239 Speaker 3: the answer we need. He's the hero that we don't deserve. 1065 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 2: You didn't even hesitate, bro, You didn't even after everything 1066 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 2: that the FBI has put you through, you didn't even hesitate. 1067 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 3: Two reasons for cash Battel. And beyond his qualifications, which 1068 00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,080 Speaker 3: I know you've covered down on. Cashptel reached out to 1069 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:05,360 Speaker 3: me two plus years ago on Thanksgiving, right after I 1070 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,759 Speaker 3: got suspended. He got my number, called me up and said, 1071 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,960 Speaker 3: I run a foundation that helps support whistleblowers. I know 1072 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 3: you're unpaid. I want to provide your family some money 1073 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 3: to get through the holidays, pay your food bills and 1074 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 3: your and your medical insurance bills, and I don't want 1075 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 3: credit for it. You don't have to go out and 1076 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 3: tell anybody about this. This is just something that I 1077 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,880 Speaker 3: believe in. I do as a side project. This is 1078 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 3: just important to me for what you did, and my 1079 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 3: foundation wants to be here support you for it. That's 1080 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,040 Speaker 3: the measure of the man who's going in there. And 1081 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 3: then you know, when I got a chance to meet 1082 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 3: him recently, I was at an event in Las Vegas 1083 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,680 Speaker 3: and his organization was putting it on this event and 1084 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 3: you know, open bar and he goes he said, oh, 1085 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 3: go get a drink and I got a bottle of 1086 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 3: water and then he gave me a hard time for that. 1087 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,240 Speaker 3: So he's just a regular bro. 1088 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 2: Man. That is a great story. And again, you didn't 1089 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 2: hesitate to going back to serve your country, should you 1090 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,720 Speaker 2: be asked?

You know I appreciate you saying that I 1120 00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 2: really do, because this show is for you, and you know, 1121 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 2: I know I don't have a whole lot of guests 1122 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 2: on here, you know, as you said, Savage, Rich Barris, 1123 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 2: Steve Friend, Brian, Dean Wright, and there are others, Daniel 1124 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,040 Speaker 2: Turners one of them too. But you know, most of 1125 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 2: the time, these guys are brought on to national news 1126 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 2: shows or they're going on to other podcasts to comment 1127 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 2: on what is a very narrowly defined area of what 1128 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 2: their expertise is. In Steve's case, it might be the 1129 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,280 Speaker 2: FBI lawn enforcement, and richest case it's just about polling, 1130 01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 2: and in Brian's case, it's probably about, you know, foreign policy. 1131 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 2: But these guys, you know, there are I see so 1132 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 2: much more in them. And I know that when I 1133 01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 2: was coming up in the media, going all the way 1134 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,560 Speaker 2: back to twenty twelve. I've been doing media for twelve 1135 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,160 Speaker 2: years now, which is just kind of damn crazy. But 1136 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,760 Speaker 2: I never thought that that would be my path, is 1137 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,760 Speaker 2: do it any sort of media at all. But I 1138 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 2: always hated it, and I hate it until this I 1139 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 2: hate it till this day that anytime these national news outlets, 1140 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,880 Speaker 2: and this was before I ran for office. But anytime 1141 01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 2: these national new news outlets would call me for things, 1142 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 2: it's like, tell me what you think about this veterans issue, 1143 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 2: or tell me what you think about this national security policy. 1144 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,400 Speaker 2: It was never about, you know, commenting on politics. It 1145 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 2: was never about commenting on the budget. It was never 1146 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 2: about just general commentary across the board, and that always 1147 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 2: pissed me off. I didn't like being pigeonholed because I 1148 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 2: think it makes it harder for you to grow. But 1149 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 2: these guys, the guests that we have on this show, 1150 01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,360 Speaker 2: I think they have a lot more to offer than 1151 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 2: just in their niche field, as we're clearly seeing. And 1152 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 2: you know, I want you to like the guests that 1153 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 2: I have on. I just do, and so that's why 1154 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,919 Speaker 2: I try to bring them back as regularly as I can. 1155 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 2: So thank you all for watching, folks. You know, God 1156 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 2: the show flew by, but I'm so so so lucky 1157 01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,120 Speaker 2: to have you here.
