That's like the nicest thing anyone's gonna 18 00:01:02,297 --> 00:01:05,577 Speaker 1: say to me all day. Probably anyway, CIA and foreign 19 00:01:05,617 --> 00:01:09,697 Speaker 1: intelligence agencies, according to The New York Post, illegally targeted 20 00:01:10,177 --> 00:01:16,017 Speaker 1: twenty six Trump associates before the twenty sixteen Russia collusion claims. 21 00:01:16,497 --> 00:01:20,777 Speaker 2: There's a bombshell, tell me what's going on here? Yeah. 22 00:01:20,817 --> 00:01:23,777 Speaker 3: So, Michael Schallenberger is an independent journalists. A lot of 23 00:01:23,777 --> 00:01:26,977 Speaker 3: people may remember him from dropping a lot of the 24 00:01:27,017 --> 00:01:30,017 Speaker 3: Twitter files. He and Matt Taibi and I think it 25 00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:32,337 Speaker 3: was Barry Weiss was the third that Elon kind of 26 00:01:32,377 --> 00:01:37,177 Speaker 3: shoveled that those disclosures too. But he dropped a bombshell 27 00:01:38,057 --> 00:01:42,137 Speaker 3: either yesterday or the day before, and it's actually still 28 00:01:42,137 --> 00:01:45,377 Speaker 3: not done being dropped. He has announced that he's going 29 00:01:45,417 --> 00:01:47,977 Speaker 3: to be disclosing more information later this week, I believe 30 00:01:48,017 --> 00:01:51,777 Speaker 3: today or tomorrow. But as a summary, so a lot 31 00:01:51,777 --> 00:01:55,257 Speaker 3: of people know that Russia cocclusion was a hoax and 32 00:01:56,417 --> 00:02:04,617 Speaker 3: Crossfire Hurricane was the operation to ensnare Trump, and you know, 33 00:02:04,697 --> 00:02:07,337 Speaker 3: Devin Nunez and the House Intel Committee, and they did 34 00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:10,017 Speaker 3: a lot of digging and they kind of uncovered that 35 00:02:10,177 --> 00:02:13,417 Speaker 3: this was actually a DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign funded 36 00:02:13,817 --> 00:02:18,697 Speaker 3: Steele dossier used to frame Trump and provide enough justification 37 00:02:18,817 --> 00:02:21,897 Speaker 3: for the FBI to get FISA spy warrants and spy 38 00:02:21,977 --> 00:02:24,737 Speaker 3: on the sitting president of the United States. And what 39 00:02:24,857 --> 00:02:31,577 Speaker 3: this Schellenberger bombshell has disclosed is this wasn't just an 40 00:02:31,617 --> 00:02:34,777 Speaker 3: operation started in July or August of twenty sixteen. This 41 00:02:34,817 --> 00:02:38,097 Speaker 3: actually went a year and a half before the election. 42 00:02:38,337 --> 00:02:44,217 Speaker 3: The CIA has been exposed as working with foreign the 43 00:02:44,257 --> 00:02:49,537 Speaker 3: Five Eyes surveillance spy network the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, 44 00:02:49,617 --> 00:02:52,297 Speaker 3: and one other one Italy I think, and it's US 45 00:02:53,137 --> 00:02:58,617 Speaker 3: And they used their colleagues in that network and said, hey, 46 00:02:58,657 --> 00:03:01,617 Speaker 3: can you spy domestically in the US. We're not allowed to. 47 00:03:01,937 --> 00:03:04,457 Speaker 3: Can you spy on these twenty six individuals in the 48 00:03:04,497 --> 00:03:05,417 Speaker 3: Trump campaign? 49 00:03:06,417 --> 00:03:08,937 Speaker 1: So as you know, and people always ask me why, 50 00:03:09,057 --> 00:03:11,217 Speaker 1: just to clear the air. I joined the CIA directly 51 00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:13,297 Speaker 1: out of college to help find bin Laden and help 52 00:03:13,337 --> 00:03:14,097 Speaker 1: our guys kill him. 53 00:03:14,137 --> 00:03:14,577 Speaker 2: That was it. 54 00:03:14,817 --> 00:03:16,297 Speaker 1: After nine to eleven, I'm like, I'm going to go 55 00:03:16,337 --> 00:03:19,657 Speaker 1: help right. I left right when Obama comes into office 56 00:03:19,657 --> 00:03:21,937 Speaker 1: because I could feel the politican and this is the truth, 57 00:03:21,977 --> 00:03:23,657 Speaker 1: and people in the agency then would back me up 58 00:03:23,697 --> 00:03:23,937 Speaker 1: on this. 59 00:03:24,177 --> 00:03:24,737 Speaker 2: Who knew me. 60 00:03:25,377 --> 00:03:28,977 Speaker 1: I felt the politicization good war, bad war, rock Afghanistan. 61 00:03:29,417 --> 00:03:32,577 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, broc is announcing the withdrawal when 62 00:03:32,577 --> 00:03:34,937 Speaker 1: he's announcing the search. The whole thing was a mess 63 00:03:35,297 --> 00:03:39,417 Speaker 1: and also the real ideologues, the deep state entities. When 64 00:03:39,457 --> 00:03:42,617 Speaker 1: Obama came into office, obviously felt really embold and powerful. 65 00:03:42,657 --> 00:03:44,937 Speaker 1: So I left. I bring it up though, because obviously 66 00:03:44,977 --> 00:03:48,857 Speaker 1: I know how the agency is supposed to function, what 67 00:03:48,897 --> 00:03:51,137 Speaker 1: the rules of the road are. This is from this 68 00:03:51,257 --> 00:03:53,937 Speaker 1: New York Post piece which is quoting, as you pointed out, 69 00:03:54,577 --> 00:03:58,737 Speaker 1: tyeeb Guten and Alex gutin Togg, and it says former 70 00:03:58,777 --> 00:04:01,417 Speaker 1: CI director Brennan identified and presented the targets to the 71 00:04:01,457 --> 00:04:04,857 Speaker 1: US intelligence sharing partners in the soul called Five Eyes agencies, 72 00:04:05,297 --> 00:04:08,297 Speaker 1: which is the US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. 73 00:04:08,537 --> 00:04:11,857 Speaker 1: That's a special intelli and sharing relationship that does exist. 74 00:04:11,897 --> 00:04:14,217 Speaker 1: This is a real thing. And this is in the 75 00:04:14,257 --> 00:04:17,137 Speaker 1: sub stack that was published by Michael Schellenberger. So what 76 00:04:17,177 --> 00:04:21,377 Speaker 1: this would be, Dreno would be a CIA director going 77 00:04:21,497 --> 00:04:25,457 Speaker 1: to truly our closest allies. Right, the Five Eyes exist 78 00:04:25,617 --> 00:04:28,897 Speaker 1: because we trust those countries more than any other countries 79 00:04:28,897 --> 00:04:31,017 Speaker 1: in the world. That's why they're the Five Eyes, right. 80 00:04:31,057 --> 00:04:36,497 Speaker 1: They're sort of the you know of British parentage, English 81 00:04:36,577 --> 00:04:40,977 Speaker 1: speaking nations and the fact that that might have been 82 00:04:41,057 --> 00:04:44,017 Speaker 1: used as a backdoor way to spy on Trump associates. 83 00:04:44,337 --> 00:04:47,217 Speaker 1: Is this is new in the world of Russia collusion, 84 00:04:47,217 --> 00:04:51,257 Speaker 1: which was already bad enough, and this just goes to show, 85 00:04:51,297 --> 00:04:54,337 Speaker 1: I think, how there's no limit to how dirty the 86 00:04:54,377 --> 00:04:55,817 Speaker 1: tricks are the Democrats will play. 87 00:04:55,817 --> 00:04:57,257 Speaker 2: I mean, this is astonishing stuff. 88 00:04:58,577 --> 00:05:01,897 Speaker 3: It gets worse somehow. So you know, as a little 89 00:05:02,097 --> 00:05:06,337 Speaker 3: bit of context, I mistakenly added Italy to the Five 90 00:05:06,337 --> 00:05:10,177 Speaker 3: Eyes network. They are allies, but it is those for 91 00:05:10,257 --> 00:05:12,657 Speaker 3: other countries you listed, those are all actually under the 92 00:05:12,737 --> 00:05:18,057 Speaker 3: UK Commonwealth, right, So Canada, Australia, New Zealand, those are 93 00:05:18,097 --> 00:05:22,497 Speaker 3: all Commonwealth you know, almost subsidiary states of the United 94 00:05:22,577 --> 00:05:25,897 Speaker 3: Kingdom and of the King of England. So there is 95 00:05:25,897 --> 00:05:29,617 Speaker 3: a little bit of a historical context here that the 96 00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:33,097 Speaker 3: King of England and the Queen at the time is 97 00:05:33,537 --> 00:05:37,897 Speaker 3: potentially involved in spying on US president. But it gets 98 00:05:37,937 --> 00:05:44,337 Speaker 3: worse because you know, you could say that this is treason, right, 99 00:05:44,897 --> 00:05:48,457 Speaker 3: this is treason. And part of the issue is Trump 100 00:05:49,497 --> 00:05:53,657 Speaker 3: knew about this towards the end, and he did classified 101 00:05:53,697 --> 00:05:56,977 Speaker 3: a lot of these documents, and these are the Crossfire 102 00:05:57,057 --> 00:06:01,417 Speaker 3: Hurricane documents. He did classify them. There are public articles 103 00:06:01,457 --> 00:06:07,297 Speaker 3: about this, and one of the issues is the intelligence 104 00:06:07,337 --> 00:06:11,017 Speaker 3: community does not know where these documents are. And I 105 00:06:11,177 --> 00:06:13,937 Speaker 3: have posited the theory and I believe this is very 106 00:06:13,937 --> 00:06:18,777 Speaker 3: true that the FBI rated Mara a Lago, not because 107 00:06:19,217 --> 00:06:22,417 Speaker 3: Trump didn't cross his t's and dot his eyes with 108 00:06:23,857 --> 00:06:27,777 Speaker 3: submitting classified documents to the National Archives. If that were 109 00:06:27,817 --> 00:06:30,457 Speaker 3: the case, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, they would have probably 110 00:06:30,537 --> 00:06:34,417 Speaker 3: all been charged. They weren't for the same type of offense. 111 00:06:35,337 --> 00:06:38,937 Speaker 3: Trump is actually different because he actually had declassification authority 112 00:06:39,137 --> 00:06:41,137 Speaker 3: as the president. He is the only person that has 113 00:06:41,337 --> 00:06:45,897 Speaker 3: full declassification history of it, and there's also presumption of 114 00:06:45,937 --> 00:06:48,817 Speaker 3: declassification if he has documents and takes him out of 115 00:06:48,857 --> 00:06:49,457 Speaker 3: it classified. 116 00:06:49,537 --> 00:06:51,777 Speaker 1: We used to talk about this in the agency Rogan 117 00:06:52,217 --> 00:06:54,897 Speaker 1: if a president started talking about something at a press 118 00:06:54,937 --> 00:06:59,617 Speaker 1: conference that was classified, we called it real time declassification. 119 00:06:59,697 --> 00:07:01,497 Speaker 1: Now people can say, oh, well, that's not technically how 120 00:07:01,497 --> 00:07:04,377 Speaker 1: it's supposed to work. It's the president's information. But what 121 00:07:05,177 --> 00:07:07,497 Speaker 1: oversight process If the president wants to talk to the 122 00:07:07,497 --> 00:07:10,017 Speaker 1: press about something, the president can talk to the press about, 123 00:07:10,297 --> 00:07:12,497 Speaker 1: like just to give people a sense of the authority 124 00:07:12,537 --> 00:07:14,897 Speaker 1: that the chief of the executive branch has, it is 125 00:07:14,937 --> 00:07:18,537 Speaker 1: effectively executive branch information and the president is the top 126 00:07:18,857 --> 00:07:21,457 Speaker 1: of that chain of command, right, And. 127 00:07:21,457 --> 00:07:24,377 Speaker 3: The president doesn't work for the CIA or the FBI. 128 00:07:24,457 --> 00:07:27,537 Speaker 3: It's it's the reverse, right, And we're supposed to supposed 129 00:07:27,577 --> 00:07:30,057 Speaker 3: to be But yeah, we've lost touch with that chain 130 00:07:30,097 --> 00:07:34,017 Speaker 3: of command in recent decades. But I believe that this 131 00:07:34,057 --> 00:07:36,817 Speaker 3: is why they stormed mar Lago with the FBI, this 132 00:07:36,897 --> 00:07:40,017 Speaker 3: is why they went through Milania's closet. They're looking for 133 00:07:40,057 --> 00:07:43,017 Speaker 3: this binder, so Schellenberger has disclosed it. It's about a 134 00:07:43,097 --> 00:07:48,057 Speaker 3: ten inch thick binder. And when you have government officials 135 00:07:48,537 --> 00:07:52,337 Speaker 3: partnering with foreign adversaries, not adversaries, foreign allies, but foreign 136 00:07:52,337 --> 00:07:59,097 Speaker 3: countries nonetheless to subvert the governance of the United States, 137 00:07:59,657 --> 00:08:03,097 Speaker 3: that's treason by definition. And I believe that this is 138 00:08:03,097 --> 00:08:06,217 Speaker 3: why they are going all out to stop President Trump 139 00:08:06,217 --> 00:08:08,257 Speaker 3: from getting back into the White House, because if he 140 00:08:08,377 --> 00:08:11,537 Speaker 3: does with these documents, they know it's all over and 141 00:08:11,577 --> 00:08:14,497 Speaker 3: there's going to be a deep clean. Now, obviously, we 142 00:08:14,617 --> 00:08:16,457 Speaker 3: wish Trump would have done this in the first term. 143 00:08:16,497 --> 00:08:18,377 Speaker 3: We wish you would have drained the swant, We wish 144 00:08:18,377 --> 00:08:20,937 Speaker 3: you would have fired a lot of people. But it's 145 00:08:20,977 --> 00:08:25,497 Speaker 3: not that easy. But I do believe. That's why these 146 00:08:25,537 --> 00:08:28,577 Speaker 3: people are freaking out. That's why he's been indicted four times, 147 00:08:28,617 --> 00:08:31,817 Speaker 3: That's why he's got lawsuits coming from every blue state 148 00:08:31,857 --> 00:08:33,657 Speaker 3: you can think of. That's why they're trying to remove 149 00:08:33,737 --> 00:08:39,537 Speaker 3: him from the ballot. And yeah, we're starting to learn 150 00:08:39,577 --> 00:08:42,577 Speaker 3: the real reasons why. And I think it's because a 151 00:08:42,577 --> 00:08:44,937 Speaker 3: lot of the people at the senior levels of the CIA, 152 00:08:45,017 --> 00:08:47,697 Speaker 3: people like you and others you know, who join to 153 00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:50,337 Speaker 3: fight for our country. I think it's an honorable thing. 154 00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:53,217 Speaker 3: But it's the very senior levels where the deepest corruption 155 00:08:53,257 --> 00:08:55,777 Speaker 3: is because the CIA is very compartmentalized. You could probably 156 00:08:55,977 --> 00:08:58,097 Speaker 3: talk more about this. It's not like, you know, say 157 00:08:58,097 --> 00:08:59,817 Speaker 3: there's ten thousand plays, not like they all know what's 158 00:08:59,857 --> 00:09:01,537 Speaker 3: going on to CIA at all times. It's a need 159 00:09:01,617 --> 00:09:02,337 Speaker 3: to know there's only two. 160 00:09:02,497 --> 00:09:03,977 Speaker 1: That would be a huge shot, That would be a 161 00:09:04,057 --> 00:09:06,417 Speaker 1: huge security vulnerability in and of itself. I mean there 162 00:09:06,497 --> 00:09:09,817 Speaker 1: is there are actual rules, there are laws that separate 163 00:09:09,857 --> 00:09:13,617 Speaker 1: eyes out what different parts of the agency are doing. Uh, 164 00:09:13,697 --> 00:09:17,657 Speaker 1: there's need to no compartment compartmentalization, which is critical to 165 00:09:17,737 --> 00:09:21,617 Speaker 1: keeping secrets secure. And you know, depending on the issue 166 00:09:21,657 --> 00:09:24,057 Speaker 1: you work, you may have you know, I had no 167 00:09:24,177 --> 00:09:27,097 Speaker 1: idea what was going on with like Asia desk, for example, 168 00:09:27,377 --> 00:09:29,057 Speaker 1: no idea because I was I was working Middle East. 169 00:09:29,057 --> 00:09:32,217 Speaker 1: It's very different. And that's that's all to the good, 170 00:09:32,337 --> 00:09:35,377 Speaker 1: right So when I anyway, Yeah, but what you said, 171 00:09:35,417 --> 00:09:37,377 Speaker 1: that's really what you said. That's really a bombshell though. 172 00:09:37,417 --> 00:09:40,937 Speaker 1: I think is you this is your analysis. Your assessment 173 00:09:41,577 --> 00:09:45,377 Speaker 1: is that they were looking at Marlago for some of 174 00:09:45,417 --> 00:09:49,497 Speaker 1: the stuff that Trump took that could go to the 175 00:09:49,577 --> 00:09:53,297 Speaker 1: pre Russia collusion. As we know, it's spying ordered by 176 00:09:53,337 --> 00:09:56,257 Speaker 1: Brennan through the Five Eyes, right, that's you think that 177 00:09:56,337 --> 00:09:57,817 Speaker 1: could be what's at issue here. 178 00:09:58,617 --> 00:10:01,417 Speaker 3: I do believe that is the core underlying issue. And 179 00:10:01,457 --> 00:10:06,217 Speaker 3: we've already learned that Obama, Joe, Biden, Brennan, they all 180 00:10:06,217 --> 00:10:09,457 Speaker 3: were meeting in December January to kind of launch this 181 00:10:09,577 --> 00:10:13,417 Speaker 3: next phase of the spying operation. And you know, in 182 00:10:13,457 --> 00:10:17,537 Speaker 3: the best case scenario, maybe they did genuinely believe there 183 00:10:17,657 --> 00:10:21,457 Speaker 3: was some Russia collusion between Trump and they were originally looking, 184 00:10:21,977 --> 00:10:24,057 Speaker 3: but when they didn't find anything, they actually had to 185 00:10:24,137 --> 00:10:26,537 Speaker 3: plant it, right, and that's where the Steel DOSSI. They 186 00:10:26,577 --> 00:10:29,057 Speaker 3: got desperate. They couldn't actually find anything that tied the 187 00:10:29,097 --> 00:10:31,857 Speaker 3: Trump campaign to rush because why would that happen? Why 188 00:10:32,137 --> 00:10:32,857 Speaker 3: why would Trump? 189 00:10:33,017 --> 00:10:33,337 Speaker 2: Trump? 190 00:10:34,377 --> 00:10:37,897 Speaker 3: Putin invaded Crimea under Obama and he invaded the don 191 00:10:37,977 --> 00:10:40,737 Speaker 3: Bass under Biden under four years of Trump. If they 192 00:10:40,777 --> 00:10:43,737 Speaker 3: were such buddy buddy, why didn't he take Ukraine? Trump 193 00:10:43,737 --> 00:10:46,217 Speaker 3: would have led him if he was. It's all a farce. 194 00:10:46,297 --> 00:10:47,537 Speaker 1: It makes it makes no sense. 195 00:10:47,737 --> 00:10:50,937 Speaker 3: Makes Trump was actually very tough against Putin. And you 196 00:10:50,937 --> 00:10:51,817 Speaker 3: know we can get into NATO. 197 00:10:51,897 --> 00:10:52,417 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no. 198 00:10:53,017 --> 00:10:54,977 Speaker 1: And I want to just quick thing for everybody for 199 00:10:55,057 --> 00:10:58,177 Speaker 1: listening to this on podcast, just the audio.

How confident are 228 00:12:19,897 --> 00:12:23,177 Speaker 1: you that you know you mentioned this this time around? 229 00:12:24,377 --> 00:12:27,617 Speaker 1: Is Trump ready to finish the job when it comes 230 00:12:27,657 --> 00:12:31,417 Speaker 1: to dealing with the deep state and taking action against 231 00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,977 Speaker 1: some of these really malignant forces operating within the federal government. 232 00:12:35,857 --> 00:12:38,017 Speaker 3: Well, I think at the very least the Overton window 233 00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:40,017 Speaker 3: has shifted, and I think a lot of credit can 234 00:12:40,057 --> 00:12:43,777 Speaker 3: be given to Vivek on that one. He has really 235 00:12:43,817 --> 00:12:46,897 Speaker 3: brought into the mainstream narrative. You know, firing seventy five 236 00:12:46,937 --> 00:12:51,337 Speaker 3: percent of all bureaucrats regardless, you know, just a social 237 00:12:51,457 --> 00:12:54,057 Speaker 3: Security number at lottery. If your number ends in an 238 00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:59,697 Speaker 3: even number, you're gone. I said eighty five percent. But 239 00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:01,577 Speaker 3: you know, we can figure out the details later. But 240 00:13:01,857 --> 00:13:05,297 Speaker 3: Trump actually was pushing an executive where it's called schedule F, 241 00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:08,457 Speaker 3: and that was Schedule F of an obscure US Code. 242 00:13:08,497 --> 00:13:13,297 Speaker 3: But basically a lot a lot of civil servants are 243 00:13:13,337 --> 00:13:17,497 Speaker 3: considered non political appointees and they have a lot of protections. 244 00:13:17,977 --> 00:13:21,777 Speaker 3: If you are a political appointee, say like an under 245 00:13:21,817 --> 00:13:24,897 Speaker 3: secretary of Defense or something, and you're appointed by the president, 246 00:13:24,937 --> 00:13:27,617 Speaker 3: not necessarily confirmed by the Senate. Trump, you work at 247 00:13:27,617 --> 00:13:29,377 Speaker 3: the will of the president. Trump can just fire you, 248 00:13:29,377 --> 00:13:31,857 Speaker 3: you know, or whoever the sitting president is. With a 249 00:13:31,857 --> 00:13:34,457 Speaker 3: lot of the civil servants, you can't schedule F under 250 00:13:34,497 --> 00:13:39,057 Speaker 3: this executive order that Trump was apparently close to finalizing, 251 00:13:39,057 --> 00:13:41,297 Speaker 3: it was going to be a second term thing, would 252 00:13:41,777 --> 00:13:46,097 Speaker 3: reclassify many civil servants into political appointees and whether this 253 00:13:46,137 --> 00:13:48,137 Speaker 3: would get hung up in court. I'm sure they would 254 00:13:48,137 --> 00:13:51,017 Speaker 3: sue in a Hawaiian federal district with the most liberal 255 00:13:51,097 --> 00:13:54,137 Speaker 3: judge you've ever heard of, and that may hamstring it. 256 00:13:54,177 --> 00:13:56,497 Speaker 3: But eventually once this gets to the Supreme Court, Listen, 257 00:13:56,577 --> 00:13:58,897 Speaker 3: we have to re establish, like we talked about earlier, 258 00:13:59,057 --> 00:14:03,497 Speaker 3: chain A command people in the executive work for the president. Now, 259 00:14:03,537 --> 00:14:06,777 Speaker 3: do we want to have a complete upheaval every four 260 00:14:06,817 --> 00:14:09,297 Speaker 3: to eight years of all personnel in the federal government. 261 00:14:09,297 --> 00:14:12,657 Speaker 3: Not necessarily, but we do need a deep clean in 262 00:14:12,697 --> 00:14:15,417 Speaker 3: this bureaucracy. I think that's beyond clear at this point, 263 00:14:15,497 --> 00:14:20,897 Speaker 3: especially in the DOJ, FBI, CIA and others. So does 264 00:14:20,937 --> 00:14:24,097 Speaker 3: he have the actual authority in multiple different ways, Yes 265 00:14:24,177 --> 00:14:27,057 Speaker 3: he does. Is there the political will to do this? 266 00:14:27,537 --> 00:14:29,617 Speaker 3: That's to be determined, but I am optimistic. 267 00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:33,497 Speaker 1: Come back here with DC Dreno. In just a moment, 268 00:14:34,337 --> 00:14:37,297 Speaker 1: do you feel prepared everything going on in the country? 269 00:14:37,777 --> 00:14:40,057 Speaker 1: You find yourself thinking about how best to protect yourself 270 00:14:40,177 --> 00:14:44,377 Speaker 1: and whatever assets you have. Gold has been used to 271 00:14:44,377 --> 00:14:47,617 Speaker 1: protect assets for as long as people have had them. 272 00:14:48,217 --> 00:14:52,097 Speaker 1: It's a hedge against inflation. Gold is a reserve asset. 273 00:14:52,417 --> 00:14:54,937 Speaker 1: Countries are buying up massive amounts of gold right now 274 00:14:55,257 --> 00:14:58,977 Speaker 1: as a hedge against not just inflation, but possible financial collapse. 275 00:14:59,377 --> 00:15:02,017 Speaker 1: So you want to have gold as a hedge for 276 00:15:02,057 --> 00:15:04,657 Speaker 1: the future, and you want to be able to access real, 277 00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,417 Speaker 1: physical gold on hand.

What is the one thing that you are 292 00:15:48,777 --> 00:15:50,697 Speaker 1: if you had to pick one area where you would 293 00:15:50,697 --> 00:15:53,817 Speaker 1: want the most additional focus right now to get us 294 00:15:53,857 --> 00:15:56,097 Speaker 1: to that point, whether it's a policy issue or just 295 00:15:56,137 --> 00:15:58,217 Speaker 1: a voting machinery issue. 296 00:15:58,417 --> 00:16:00,017 Speaker 2: What are you really dialed in on. 297 00:16:01,057 --> 00:16:05,297 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think ballot harvesting. We need a massive infrastructure 298 00:16:05,817 --> 00:16:08,657 Speaker 3: to have a more equal playing field in that realm. 299 00:16:08,737 --> 00:16:11,417 Speaker 3: I do not like ballot hard I wish we could 300 00:16:11,657 --> 00:16:16,577 Speaker 3: abolish it at the federal level, nationwide mail, mass mail 301 00:16:16,617 --> 00:16:20,137 Speaker 3: in ballots, print at home ballots like they do in 302 00:16:20,177 --> 00:16:22,257 Speaker 3: the entire state of California. We need to get rid 303 00:16:22,297 --> 00:16:24,937 Speaker 3: of all of that. But until we have the power 304 00:16:24,977 --> 00:16:26,817 Speaker 3: to actually do that, we do need to fight in 305 00:16:26,857 --> 00:16:30,337 Speaker 3: the battlefield in which we are presented, and so that 306 00:16:30,497 --> 00:16:33,897 Speaker 3: is a major issue. I do like what Turning Point 307 00:16:33,977 --> 00:16:36,937 Speaker 3: Action has been doing to organize that, and I'm glad 308 00:16:36,937 --> 00:16:40,937 Speaker 3: that this GOP primary is switching gears. We're getting rid 309 00:16:40,977 --> 00:16:43,457 Speaker 3: of Ron McDaniel soon, and I hope that the next 310 00:16:43,497 --> 00:16:49,057 Speaker 3: person coming in really focuses on election you know, ballot 311 00:16:49,057 --> 00:16:53,657 Speaker 3: harvesting and other types of election lawsuits, because the Left 312 00:16:53,697 --> 00:16:55,977 Speaker 3: is very good at that law fare. We are getting better. 313 00:16:56,097 --> 00:16:59,417 Speaker 3: I do believe that what happened in Virginia with Governor 314 00:16:59,457 --> 00:17:02,417 Speaker 3: Younkin's race, where we had a lot of lawyers on 315 00:17:02,457 --> 00:17:05,057 Speaker 3: the ground and we had injunctions and court filings to 316 00:17:05,097 --> 00:17:08,337 Speaker 3: stop the fraud, and we squeaked out a victory nationwide, 317 00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:15,417 Speaker 3: statewide at their three offices, so governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general. 318 00:17:15,497 --> 00:17:17,897 Speaker 3: So I think that's the formula for success. But I 319 00:17:17,897 --> 00:17:20,137 Speaker 3: also think we do need to address the pro life 320 00:17:20,857 --> 00:17:24,177 Speaker 3: debate and how to best frame that for people, because 321 00:17:24,177 --> 00:17:29,737 Speaker 3: it's an energizing issue for Democrats and in an economy 322 00:17:29,817 --> 00:17:32,937 Speaker 3: that has massive inflation, and with our open border crisis, 323 00:17:33,257 --> 00:17:37,657 Speaker 3: we should have this, you know, lockstock and barrel. But 324 00:17:38,137 --> 00:17:41,937 Speaker 3: this abortion issue is driving young Democrats especially to the polls, 325 00:17:41,937 --> 00:17:43,657 Speaker 3: and we have to come up with better messaging. 326 00:17:43,857 --> 00:17:47,257 Speaker 1: Just one more for you, for all the DC DRENO 327 00:17:47,337 --> 00:17:51,897 Speaker 1: fans out there, Why is the right? And you're somebody 328 00:17:51,937 --> 00:17:55,657 Speaker 1: I think that is as associated with this advantage as 329 00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:59,017 Speaker 1: anybody out there. Why is the right better at memes 330 00:17:59,057 --> 00:18:02,257 Speaker 1: than these Democrat communists? Like, our memes are just better. 331 00:18:03,737 --> 00:18:07,657 Speaker 3: It's I think it's the same reason that our jokes 332 00:18:07,697 --> 00:18:10,297 Speaker 3: are better. There's an element of truth in it, right, 333 00:18:10,337 --> 00:18:12,497 Speaker 3: And so you look at these late night comedy shows 334 00:18:13,137 --> 00:18:16,817 Speaker 3: and they've just become political rallies. They aren't funny anymore 335 00:18:16,937 --> 00:18:19,537 Speaker 3: because they can't make jokes when when you are actually 336 00:18:19,537 --> 00:18:23,137 Speaker 3: the authoritarians when you actually have the losing argument, when 337 00:18:23,217 --> 00:18:26,457 Speaker 3: when everything you accuse the Republicans of doing is actually you. 338 00:18:26,537 --> 00:18:30,417 Speaker 3: People know that, and with memes, you know it has 339 00:18:30,457 --> 00:18:32,817 Speaker 3: to have an underlying truth to it. Otherwise you're just 340 00:18:32,897 --> 00:18:37,777 Speaker 3: kind of saying something you are angry about, right, And 341 00:18:37,817 --> 00:18:39,977 Speaker 3: that's that's not that's not a good joke, that's not 342 00:18:40,017 --> 00:18:44,017 Speaker 3: a good message. So as as Miley Andopolis used to say, 343 00:18:44,057 --> 00:18:46,337 Speaker 3: no one can resist the truth wrapped in a good joke. 344 00:18:46,937 --> 00:18:50,137 Speaker 3: We we are the ones able to have some humor 345 00:18:50,297 --> 00:18:52,457 Speaker 3: in this lately, we aren't the ones just kind of 346 00:18:52,497 --> 00:18:57,537 Speaker 3: foaming at the mouth. And and that's that's why memes work. 347 00:18:57,577 --> 00:18:59,137 Speaker 3: And frankly, I don't know, maybe we're just a little 348 00:18:59,137 --> 00:19:00,297 Speaker 3: bit smarter than the left too. 349 00:19:00,937 --> 00:19:03,617 Speaker 1: I like it all. Do you see Draino? Everybody my friend. 350 00:19:03,857 --> 00:19:05,617 Speaker 1: Good to see you, Dreno, thanks for being here. We'll 351 00:19:05,617 --> 00:19:06,377 Speaker 1: talk to you again soon. 352 00:19:06,897 --> 00:19:08,497 Speaker 3: Great to see it, Buck, thank you,
