In fact, the last director that 108 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: President Trump put it in their Mico back he tried, 109 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: but boy, they just fought him to the stake every day. 110 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: You've made profound changes. 111 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: But I think when people look at this and say, 112 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: all right, we're supposed to be projecting in Voice of America, 113 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: American values, American voices, and you see these foreigners coming 114 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: in on Jay one versus it's likely rewired the system 115 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: in reverse. 116 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 6: Can you believe it? 117 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 7: The whole mission is to go out into the world 118 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 7: and tell the world America's story. Who better to do 119 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 7: that than Americans who understand the language, the culture, the history. 120 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 7: But no, over the past couple of decades, especially in 121 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 7: the past fifteen years, this agency has turned into telling 122 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 7: anti American story. This agency started hiring non Americans people 123 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 7: from foreign countries, many people, hundreds upon hundreds from countries 124 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 7: that are hostile to America. Hired them, brought them into 125 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 7: our country to tell America's story, and unfortunately they haven't been. 126 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 7: And then they set up an editorial firewall to prevent 127 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 7: people like me or people in management from having any 128 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 7: sort of control over the editorial content or say in 129 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 7: the editorial content. And we found out in our investigations 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 7: over the months that I've been here that the CCP 131 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 7: operating out of the embassy in Washington, d C. The 132 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 7: Chinese embassy, we're meeting regularly with VOA management to tell 133 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 7: them how they should be covering China. And then your 134 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 7: reporting to me was just I wish I could say 135 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 7: it's a shock or john, but it was pretty stunning. 136 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: The Chinese government's telling our agency how to recover China. 137 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: I suppose that's what they were interested. 138 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: In, right, Sadly, I'm not surprising. 139 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, they wanted China to be covered in a nice 140 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 7: light and a kind light, not in a critical way. 141 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 6: And then your reporting is showing that the. 142 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 7: J one visa hires, where we're hiring people from other countries, 143 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 7: we're bringing them into be journalists and Voice of America. 144 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 7: Your reporting uncovered that many of them who came from China, 145 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 7: a nation hostile to America, had already worked for the 146 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 7: CCP China State Media, and then they came over to 147 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 7: work for VOA, where they continued to push pro CCP 148 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 7: propaganda at the expense of the taxpayer, at the detriment 149 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 7: of America. 150 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 6: We are ending that program. I am ending the J 151 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 6: one program. 152 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 7: We're cutting the workforce at the agency by eighty five percent, 153 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 7: and our goal is to shut the entire agency down. 154 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 7: As for the instructions of President Trump, and so I'm 155 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 7: working to eliminate the agency and it's been a big job, 156 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 7: but we're working hard at it. Of course, the district 157 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 7: court judges don't like anything President Trump is doing, and 158 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 7: they're trying to stop us right now through any means 159 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 7: that they can possibly come. 160 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 4: Up with as you are cutting down that workforce, because 161 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 4: we're hearing a lot of the same things from a 162 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: lot of other agencies, Department of Education and others that 163 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 4: they say that we can cut it down, We can 164 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 4: cut down the staff and still get the same amount 165 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 4: of work done. Is that what you're saying there as well? 166 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 6: Well? 167 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 7: President Trump put out an executive order March of fourteenth 168 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 7: that said, take this agency and bring it down to 169 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 7: its statutory minimum. What is the minimum required for this 170 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 7: agency to exist in statute? So we examined the statute 171 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 7: and we determined that we didn't have to be covering 172 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 7: fifty different languages. Statute only required that we cover four languages. 173 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 7: We're doing that, and we're doing it well with this 174 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 7: much smaller staff to cover all those four languages. And 175 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 7: then in the next fiscal year, starting in October, President 176 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 7: Trump wants to eliminate the agency. So we're working to 177 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 7: do that. But I'll tell you what, Federal bureaucracy does 178 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 7: not go down without a fight. They go down kicking 179 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 7: and screaming, and that's exactly what we're seeing. And they've 180 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 7: got a judge who's making all kinds of rulings in 181 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 7: their favor. But we continue to prove the point that 182 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 7: President Trump is the executive over the executive branch, and 183 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 7: he has a lot of control over how the executive. 184 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 6: Branch is won. So we have to continue to slow 185 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 6: move of this through the courts. 186 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 7: Unfortunately, but I'm really glad that we are ending the 187 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 7: J one visa program. That's where you should be bringing 188 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 7: a pears in and people who are in cultural exchange. 189 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 7: This is not where you bring in journalists. I got 190 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 7: to tell you a really quick story before I started. 191 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 7: I ran into somebody who worked for Voice of America. 192 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 7: He said he worked at the White House as a correspondent, 193 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 7: as a Spanish speaking correspondent for the Spanish language service. 194 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 7: And I assumed he was from maybe Argentina, maybe he 195 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 7: came to us from Mexico, or he was an American 196 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 7: hired who speaks Spanish. He came from on a J 197 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 7: one visa from Italy. Why are we hiring somebody on 198 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 7: a J one visa from Italy to come in and 199 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 7: be a Spanish speaking reporter. We've got probably one hundred 200 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 7: million Americans who are fluent in Spanish who should have 201 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 7: had that job. So we've been completely pushing against the 202 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 7: buy America, Hire America policy that President Trump has ordered. 203 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 6: They've been doing it all wrong. 204 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 7: It's been anti America in messaging and frankly anti American 205 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 7: when it comes to hiring, to the detriment of our 206 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 7: national security. 207 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 6: As you proved in your report, John. 208 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: Just a head scratcher. 209 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: I want to go back to these meetings with the 210 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: CCP Embassy and Voice of America. How long were they 211 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: going on, How egregious were the asks of China. I mean, 212 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: this is a very serious manner. I mean it really 213 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: suggests that THEOA is more sensitive to foreign governments than 214 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: their bosses in the American government. 215 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 6: Absolutely, one hundred percent. 216 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 7: They started from what we know and the reports I've seen, 217 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 7: back in two thousand and one, and it was our 218 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 7: Mandarin VOA Mandarin service managers apparently meeting over at the 219 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 7: Chinese Embassy in DC and getting advice. One worker VOA 220 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 7: actually pledged and vowed his support to the CCP at 221 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 7: one of those meetings. 222 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 6: I mean, you can't make this stuff up. It's so crazy. 223 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 7: But then over the years it got more brazen, and 224 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 7: I understand that VOA management, some of them actually went 225 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 7: over to China and met with CCP officials there. Not 226 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 7: only that, we found out that VOA had hired contractors 227 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 7: and journalists to come in to cover America for the 228 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 7: Russian Service who had formerly worked for Russian state sponsored 229 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 7: media and covered anti American stories there, to come in 230 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 7: and write stories for Voice of America, which surprise, surprise, 231 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 7: ended up being primarily anti American. VOA has not been 232 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 7: covering America's story. They've been covering an anti America's story. 233 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 7: And they've been positive toward our frankly, our enemies, and 234 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 7: it's got to stop. It is stopping right now. But 235 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 7: as I work to effectuate President Trump's executive order, the 236 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 7: deep state is fighting like hell and they've met their match, 237 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 7: because I'm ready to fight like hell right back. 238 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 6: And I'll tell you what. 239 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 7: These people who no longer have positions, who are here 240 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 7: on a J one visa that means they have to 241 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 7: go back to their home country, and many of them 242 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 7: have not left, and they're resisting leaving. And if I 243 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 7: have to get on a flight with them and make 244 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 7: sure that they get back to their home country, I 245 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 7: will do that. But if you are no longer welcome 246 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 7: in America, if your visa has run out, it's time 247 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 7: to take your things and exit the country. 248 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 6: That's how it works here. 249 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: Well, and I know you had a meeting with the 250 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: president yesterday. 251 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 3: Did that come up? Did you maybe put deportation on 252 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: the table. 253 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 6: We actually did not talk about the j and visa program. 254 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 6: I talked a little bit about the agency. 255 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 7: We talked about a lot of the stories that are 256 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 7: in the news right now, because there's so much in 257 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 7: the news, and everything that's in the news centers around 258 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 7: the administration because this president has been so impactful in 259 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 7: such a short period of time and delivering on his promises, 260 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 7: making sure that we put America first, our safety first, 261 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 7: our security first, and our prosperity first. And so we 262 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 7: talked a little bit about the agency. I will keep 263 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 7: my conversation on that private. But the president is he's 264 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 7: full steam ahead. If anybody's thinking, he is not got 265 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 7: his foot on the gas pedal. This is going to 266 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 7: be a consequential four years and I don't think he's 267 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 7: going to stop until the day he's done, until the 268 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 7: day the next president steps into that role. It's going 269 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 7: to be six months and expect the next six months 270 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 7: to even be more rock and roll than this. 271 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: One velocity speed determination. It's all clear. You said it 272 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 1: all here last week on the show. He really is 273 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: to the last moment of this presidence. He's going to 274 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 1: be working Kerry real quickly. A Plutzer winning journalists back 275 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: in the days when people told the truth in the 276 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: media read the story today and said, you know, I 277 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: think I think I understand what Kerry's discovered. A wanted 278 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: to start influencing America rather than go out and influence 279 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: the rest of the world. Did journalists sort of turn 280 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: around and think that their audience was the American audience 281 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: at some point? 282 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 6: Not really, I mean, I don't think this is the 283 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 6: Americans were watching this. 284 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 7: And to be honest, if you've ever watched any of 285 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 7: a programming prior to this year, it's it's been pretty boring. 286 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 7: I mean, long winded Pie says that nineteen ninety style television, 287 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 7: when the world has kind of moved on from that. 288 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 7: But the most concerning things are that they were willing 289 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 7: to spread the messaging of our adversaries across the globe 290 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 7: rather than put it and then be called voice of America, 291 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 7: making people believe that America was for regimes and authoritarian 292 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 7: regimes and for Marxism rather than freedom. It's horrifying the 293 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 7: messaging that was put out, and frankly, it was all 294 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 7: paid for by the American taxpayer. In one instance, they 295 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 7: put a two minute CCP propaganda piece that VOA produced. 296 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 7: They put that out and they even admitted it was 297 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 7: a CCP propaganda piece, and they eventually pulled it down. 298 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 7: But two minutes of CCP propaganda, frankly, two seconds of 299 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 7: CCP propaganda is too much to be on an outlet 300 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 7: called Voice of America. And one instance, they put a 301 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 7: picture of President Trump two days after his inauguration with 302 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 7: the swastika over his face. This thing has gone so 303 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 7: rotten that the only way to save it is to 304 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 7: tear it all down, and we're working to bring it 305 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 7: down to its statutory minimum, and then there may be 306 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 7: things that we can save and pull back from an 307 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 7: office of Cuba Broadcasting has a real opportunity to help 308 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 7: get a message of freedom and liberty into the people 309 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 7: of Cuba, and they're doing a great job on that 310 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 7: messaging right now, and I think they could be effective 311 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 7: in bringing real, true democracy to the people who struggled 312 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 7: for so many decades in Cuba, and I'm looking forward 313 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 7: to seeing that happen. I think that's really OCB is 314 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 7: worth saving. And last time it was effective, John and Amanda, 315 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 7: the last time VOA was effective is when it was 316 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 7: under the State Department and. 317 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 6: There were some guard rails where they were actually. 318 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 7: Following and in alignment with what our national security policies were, 319 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 7: with what our agenda was. 320 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 6: And right now that's not the case. 321 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 7: They could run an all out lie about anyone in 322 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 7: the government, they could run truly, and they could go 323 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 7: completely and the President couldn't pick up the phone. Marco Rubio, 324 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 7: the Secretary State, couldn't pick up the phone and stop them. 325 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 7: There are no guardrails, there's no editorial control. This is 326 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 7: a rogue agency, and we need to make sure that 327 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 7: they're no longer doing damage to America. 328 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: Brian, Wow, With you on the job, we're pretty sure 329 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: that's going to get done. Kerry, what a great story. 330 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for helping us write what we did today 331 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: and for coming on the show and explaining it all 332 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: to us. 333 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: Great great honor to have you in the show. Thanks 334 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: so much for joining us. All right, folks, if that 335 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: wasn't enough to knock your socks out. We got an 336 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: FBI whistleblower. 337 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: See friend, he's going to return here to get assist 338 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: thoughts on all the uss that get the information. 339 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: Would he have looked the other way? 340 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: And Hillary Clinton's new evidence came in like James comey 341 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: did We'll get that answer from sea friend. 342 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 4: God after these messages, Hello friends, As we celebrate America's birthday, 343 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 4: it's a great time to reflect on the facts. And 344 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 4: here's one that really matters. The freedoms that we enjoy 345 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 4: today didn't happen by accident.

Take a listen. 366 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 4: Joining us now, FBI whistleblower and the host of the 367 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 4: American Radicals podcast on Rumble. 368 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 3: Everybody go check it out. 369 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 4: It's fantastic see friends, Steve, great to see you, Thanks 370 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: for being here, no, thanks for having me. You know 371 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 4: this story and by the way, for our audience, head 372 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 4: over to justinnews dot com. Some incredible reporting by Jerry 373 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 4: Dunlevy over there that lays out this entire case, all 374 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 4: of the information within these classified annexes. 375 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: Steve, the FBI was maybe. 376 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 4: Could still be someday the premier law enforcement agency in 377 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 4: the entire world. But when you read reports like this 378 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 4: and we learn what we all kind of suspected about 379 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: seven years ago. Is there a way for the agency 380 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 4: return to return to its luster now that we have 381 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 4: Patel at the top as opposed to Comy, who could 382 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 4: be wrapped up in all this in a very major way. 383 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's going to be a struggle no matter where 384 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 8: you go on it. I mean it should be complete reboot, control, 385 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 8: all delete, restarted, or you're going to soastically reformed. It 386 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 8: could be a six of one, half dozen of the other. 387 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 8: And it pertains to the way the FBI's future could be. 388 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 8: It can't just be well, we removed a couple of 389 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 8: the bad actors and let's move along to the next thing. 390 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 8: There has to be an actual comprehensive fleshing out of 391 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 8: who all was involved from the FBI's perspective, and they 392 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 8: need to be held accountable. And it can't just be 393 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 8: a letter of censure or a suspension. It needs to 394 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 8: be a firing and a prosecution for people who were 395 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 8: conspiring against the rights of the American people. 396 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. So in this appendix you see two things. 397 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: The FBI gets a five thumb drives of information that's 398 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: been exfiltrated from the State Department's servers a foreign power 399 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: has clearly hacked into the State Department, saying they don't 400 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 1: look at that information because it might have come from 401 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: Hillary Lytton's email server. Then they also get a tip off. 402 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: They get an intelligence intercept saying President Obama, it's actually 403 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: two people talking, the NC Party chairwoman talking to some 404 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: big donors at the Source Open Society's foundation, and they 405 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: said Obama put the Kebash on this to make sure 406 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: through Loretta Lynch that the FBI didn't go after Hillary Clinton, 407 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: didn't ruin Obama's legacy with an end of presidency scandal. 408 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: The FBI doesn't look at that either. Does that follow 409 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: any diog guide with a normal agent be killing to 410 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: want to investigate this. 411 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 8: Well, it doesn't follow any sort of policy or procedure 412 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 8: that I'm familiar with, and that is coming from somebody 413 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 8: who was almost with the agency. 414 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 5: A full decade. 415 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 8: But look, this is what we saw great evidence of 416 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 8: throughout the Biden administration, where there were selective prosecutions that 417 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 8: went on selective investigations. It was more interested in finding 418 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 8: a man and then searching for a crime, rather than 419 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 8: getting a reasonable allegation that a crime occurred and then 420 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 8: tracking down and then look wherever the ships fall, where 421 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 8: they may, and whatever the facts were out, that is 422 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 8: the result. You're not interested in the outcome. If you're 423 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 8: in the business of law enforcement, you're in the business 424 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 8: of following the process. Following the process is the victory. 425 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 8: If the fact support a conviction, that's the facts. That 426 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 8: the facts don't support a conviction, that's the facts. You 427 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 8: shouldn't be picking winners and losers if you actually have 428 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 8: that gun and badge and credentials. 429 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: Great point. 430 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: How small do you think they kept this investigation? 431 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 6: Because if it. 432 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 4: Branches anywhere beyond five or ten people, I would think 433 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 4: that it would have to bring in a dragnet of 434 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 4: people who thought, maybe this is a little shady, Maybe 435 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 4: we should be looking at the thumb drives, maybe we 436 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 4: should be considering this confidential intelligence product. At that time, 437 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 4: had courage just run dry at the agency, shouldn't there 438 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 4: have been more whistleblowers? 439 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 8: Well, I'm always in favor of having people do the 440 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 8: right thing at the right time and the right way 441 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 8: for the right reasons. But I think too many people 442 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 8: at the fbi've been weighed, measured and found wanting. In 443 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 8: that regard, you can kind of understand it, even if 444 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 8: I disagree with that sentiment. 445 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 5: The fact that myself and. 446 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 8: Others like me removed and out of duty for over 447 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 8: a thousand days, and that's something that weighs on people's minds, 448 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 8: but as it pertains, it's something that's high national security 449 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 8: and the high prioritization. The FBI itself is extremely compartmentalized, 450 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 8: and they could pretty easily, i think, get a small 451 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 8: circle of people who were actually involved with this and 452 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 8: then select those who are going to be good soldiers 453 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 8: or people who are going to be politically partisan in 454 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 8: want a particular outcome, both of which are wholly unacceptable 455 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 8: for a premier law enforcement agency that gets in the 456 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 8: area of eleven to twelve billion dollars a year to 457 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 8: serve the American people and protect them against fraud enforced 458 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 8: regardless of who the offender is. 459 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to turn to something else that you 460 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: were intimately involved in helping to expose, and that was 461 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: the targeting of school board parents just because they were 462 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: caring about their kids education and one of the raised 463 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: questions with school boards about where the school districts were going. 464 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: The FBI clearly targeted them. 465 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: We now know that the Attorney General not only wrote 466 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: the memo, he had a conversation with the White House 467 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: in the process of getting the FBI sicked on parents. 468 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: You told us this, you were right about it. But 469 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: when you see it in plane riding, we now see 470 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: what the new evidence has come out. What's your thoughts, Well. 471 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 5: I feel vindicated. 472 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 8: I'm glad that this has now been verified with the 473 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 8: documents that we knew were there. 474 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 5: I think it's a cautionary tale. 475 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 8: I mean, certainly, going parents going to school board meetings, 476 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 8: the exercising their First Amendment right is one of the 477 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 8: most egregious examples. But it's just one example of this 478 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 8: devolution that we've seen from the national security space of 479 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 8: the FBI, where they were going looking at legitimate terrorist actors, 480 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 8: and then there weren't enough of those to justify the 481 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 8: budgets to get people promoted and get bonuses, so they 482 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 8: started to shape that message differently and say, well, it's 483 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 8: homegrown violent extremists or domestic violent extremists, or anti government, 484 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 8: anti authority violent extremists in that Lattice later category in 485 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 8: AGAVE is someone who has a perception just a perception 486 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 8: of government overreach or negligence that seems to fits the 487 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 8: Bill of fifty six men as sign a declaration of independence. 488 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 8: And we saw no greater example of that than parents 489 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 8: who were just having legitimate concerns about their children's education 490 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 8: and attending school board meetings as is the right of 491 00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 8: American citizens. 492 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 5: And yet the unions that were involved were able to. 493 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,239 Speaker 8: Reach out to Merrick Garltt, were able to reach out 494 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 8: to the White House, and Sick the attack dog which 495 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 8: the FBI effectively served as underneath the Biden administration against 496 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 8: their political rivals. 497 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 6: Steve. 498 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 4: So we know, thanks to John Solomon's great reporting from 499 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 4: a few months ago, that the intelligence community put on 500 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 4: a memo saying that that predicate for investigation was loosened 501 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 4: for lack of better term. So you've got these three 502 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 4: groups that the FBI who we now know when after 503 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 4: also thanks to John Solomon, Latin mass attending, Catholics, parents 504 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 4: attending school board meetings, and lawful gun owners. We look 505 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 4: at these groups now. I hope that there is a 506 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 4: lot that has changed at the FBI. But do those 507 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 4: people still have reason to fear. 508 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 5: They should? 509 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 8: I mean, the FBI has not done away with its 510 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 8: intelligence branch. It's actually bragging about how they're bringing in 511 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 8: new intel analysts. They believe that Deputy Director by Geno 512 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 8: remarked that they have now five thousand open intelligence investigations. 513 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 8: Eight hundred have been opened this year, so that would 514 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 8: have been during the Trump administration. And the problem here 515 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 8: is that you cannot have law enforcement and intelligence co mingling. 516 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 8: They have different mission sets, different focuses. You cannot give 517 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 8: intelligence agencies the ability to take away your freedom, potentially 518 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 8: your life, at the tip of a gun and take 519 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 8: the radical Traditional Catholic Memo was one of the most 520 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 8: egregious examples that was sort of the thermal exhaust port 521 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 8: as it came to this weaponized intelligence agency that the 522 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 8: FBI has been. That was an individual who had animosity 523 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 8: towards the Catholic faith to self deployed to Catholic parishes 524 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 8: and then sided things like the Southern Poverty Law Center 525 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 8: in Salon dot com and intelligence briefing which was then 526 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 8: laundered into operations and was not limited to one office, 527 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 8: but it went to over a thousand agents and had 528 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 8: thirteen other intelligence products. And now we know that multiple 529 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 8: offices were involved in this. It is not limited, and 530 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 8: yet we don't know who that individual is and for 531 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 8: what Chris Fharrai testified to they just kind of got 532 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 8: a counseling session and maybe a mean letter in their file. 533 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: No accountability. That's why the deterrence is not there to 534 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: do this again. As you remind us often, Steeve, I'm 535 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: going to. 536 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 2: Ask you this question. 537 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: You lost everything right, you lost your security CURREDNC and 538 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: you lost your salary. You lost your job, the career 539 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: that you'd work so hard to do, your tactical officeer. 540 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: You had this incredible, decorated career until you decided to 541 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: speak up about something that looked wrong. 542 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: Would you do it again? Given all that you've been through. 543 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 8: I would never have not done what I did. That 544 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 8: was my job at the time. I didn't think that 545 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 8: I was bucking a trend. I was doing what I 546 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 8: was trained to do. All new agents go to the 547 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 8: Holocaust Memorial Museum in the AMLC Memorial. 548 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 5: That's part of the training that you go through, and. 549 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 8: You learn there that it's your job, if you believe 550 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 8: that the agency is off the rails, to throw the 551 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 8: flag because just following orders is never acceptable. So I 552 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 8: never would have not done that, and it was my 553 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 8: full expectation that that would be embraced and that I 554 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 8: would just go back to doing the work that I 555 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 8: was doing. But unfortunately, not enough people in positions of 556 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 8: prominence and leadership within the FBI shared my sentiment, and 557 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 8: as a result, here I sit now. It's been over 558 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 8: a thousand days since I was removed, and I recently 559 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 8: just perceived a rejection for an overnight security job that 560 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 8: was unarmed and paid eighteen dollars an hour and required 561 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 8: a high school diploma. So there is a cost involved 562 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 8: with it, but I'll never sacrifice my integrity for an 563 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 8: easier path. 564 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 3: Has it happened yet or what would it take for 565 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: you to be made whole? 566 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 5: That's a difficult question. 567 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 8: I mean, I loved my job, but I don't know 568 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 8: if they really want us back there. So if there's 569 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 8: a way that we could sort of come to an agreement, 570 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 8: then we'd be able to have our reputations no longer 571 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 8: besmirched and be able to pursue further endeavors. 572 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 5: And that's one way to go. 573 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 8: But I've always made myself available as a resource to 574 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 8: you on this program and even to people back at 575 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 8: the FBI if they would like it to get my 576 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 8: perspective on things. So however that shakes out, I'd be 577 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 8: happy to do that, and I'm hoping that maybe we 578 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 8: won't have to wait another three years. Now, as we're 579 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 8: coming up on Whistleblower Appreciation Day, which is going to 580 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 8: be next week. 581 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 3: Ye, your duty as an agent was very important, but your. 582 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 4: Duty as a whistleblower, as a truth. 583 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: Seeker and a truth speaker is even more important.

And there are so many parts to it. 636 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 10: I mean, it's like one hundred pieces of legislation that 637 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 10: we're passing one bill over the course of six months. 638 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: You know. 639 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 10: So I think about stuff, so a lot of farmers 640 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 10: in the district that I have. I think about the 641 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 10: inheritance tax. We raise that up. It's going to allow 642 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 10: farmers to be able to pass family farmers to be 643 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 10: able to pass it on to the next generation. 644 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 3: You know. 645 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 10: I think about the small business investment portions of the 646 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 10: bill where they can write off they can write off 647 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 10: the depreciation of investments they make in the first year. 648 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 10: That's really going to supercharge investment. And that's the one thing, 649 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 10: more than anything else, that really makes an economy home. 650 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 9: So that's really good stuff. 651 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 10: And you know, I think about I think about our 652 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 10: armed forces, and we put in there additional money for 653 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 10: housing for our enlisted members of Congress, which you know 654 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 10: many from living virtual poverty, and so we're. 655 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 9: Raising that up. 656 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 10: There's a lot of good stuff in the big beautiful bill, 657 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 10: besides the border stuff, besides. 658 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 9: The energy independence and all the rest. 659 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 10: And we need to just tell the American people there's 660 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 10: a lot of good stuff that's going to be going 661 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 10: on here, and we're going to see it reflected in 662 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 10: a stronger economy here in twenty twenty five and next 663 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 10: year in twenty twenty six. 664 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 665 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 4: So, the Census of Agriculture puts out data regarding farms 666 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 4: across this country, family owned farms, and I think in 667 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 4: Wisconsin there are like forty eight or forty nine thousand 668 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 4: family owned farms there in Wisconsin. John and I were 669 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 4: also talking earlier about this report that there is an 670 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 4: industrial level of business equipment that is being created, auguring 671 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 4: that there are a lot of farms because this includes 672 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 4: farm equipment, a lot of businesses out there that are 673 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 4: expecting future growth. Does that come from certain places in 674 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 4: the BBB like you were just talking. 675 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 10: About, Yeah, you know, so I think about the certain 676 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 10: I think about relatives I have that are talking about 677 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 10: passing the farm on down to the next generation. That 678 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 10: inheritance tax and gives them the certainty that they are 679 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 10: going to be able to do that because there was 680 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 10: that uncertainty during the Biden administration. You know, they talked 681 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 10: about reducing it down to four million dollars. Well, you 682 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 10: can have what is a medium sized family farm and 683 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 10: you can have well over four million dollars in assets. 684 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 9: So this really gives them some certainty to be able 685 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 9: to do that. 686 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 10: And I think the other thing is what is one 687 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 10: of the things that farms use more than anything else, 688 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 10: and it is energy. It's a diesel fuel, and that 689 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 10: is going to be a big thing if we can 690 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 10: continue to bring these energy prices down. 691 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 9: They've inched down some. 692 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 10: I think we're going to see more as we go 693 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 10: along here, and we see more energy brought to the marketplace. 694 00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so important. 695 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: I know Democrats will want to try to keep Republicans 696 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: this summer talking about Epstein, talking about anything other than 697 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: the successes of the first six seven months of this 698 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: all Republican town. How do members like yourself stay on message, 699 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: avoid the Epstein stuff and other things, and just focus 700 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: on what matters to people at the dinner table. 701 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, that's what you do, is you focus on 702 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 9: those things. 703 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 10: So they've tried a whole lot of things, right, the 704 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 10: price of eggs, it started out with they're so high. Well, 705 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 10: the price of eggs are down. You look at some 706 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 10: of the other inflationary stuff that was going on, It 707 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 10: is coming down. And by the way, that goes back 708 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 10: to the early comments about diesel fuel. Diesel fuel moves 709 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 10: the world. You bring your price of diesel fuel down, 710 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 10: you're going to bring down the cost of living. And 711 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 10: I just think that there's other stuff along those lines 712 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 10: that we're going to be able to talk about. I mean, 713 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 10: we have secured the border, promise, have made, promise kept. 714 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 10: We've secured the border. We're going to see less crime 715 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 10: as a result of that. There just so many things 716 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 10: that are in this bill that we are going to 717 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,479 Speaker 10: be able to talk about now the Democrats are going 718 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 10: to try to change issue, and you see it with 719 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 10: the Epstein file stuff that they've been doing this week. 720 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 10: They are just searching for something to be able to 721 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 10: tag Republicans with. 722 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 9: But it's a very easy answer. 723 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 10: Why didn't they do anything about this over the last 724 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 10: four years when Joe Biden was president. It is all 725 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 10: in an effort to get the public to focus on 726 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 10: something else than the victories we've been achieving in Washington, 727 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 10: d C. 728 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 9: For the American people. 729 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: That question will blood a lot of liberals and Democrats. 730 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: Just ask me, where were we all ask for you? 731 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: That is the punctuation and stop point of that conversation. 732 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, not a peope from them. 733 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 4: So earlier in the conversation you mentioned America's armed forces 734 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 4: and a huge amount of support for the Pentagon in 735 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 4: our military, in the BBB and the one Big beautiful Bill. 736 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 4: I know as you were talking to your constituents in 737 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 4: the next month or so that that's going to come 738 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 4: up because ties in with everything our reputation on the 739 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 4: world stage, our conflict, you know, any involvement that we 740 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 4: have with Iran, but even border security. It extends to 741 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 4: every sector of American society, doesn't it. 742 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 2: Yes. 743 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 10: And there's one simple measurement that you could tell that 744 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 10: America is fact when you look at the recruitment numbers. 745 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 10: These families would not be sending their children who are 746 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 10: about to become men and women in this world. They 747 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 10: would not be encouraging them to go in the armed 748 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 10: forces unless they knew there was a commander in chief 749 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 10: that they could count on. They know that they can 750 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 10: count on Donald Trump because he believes in peace through strength. 751 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 9: To me, that's the ultimate measurement. 752 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 10: But we've done things like we talked about the housing 753 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 10: additional money for housing that was in the Big Beautiful Bill, 754 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 10: But in the NBAA we put raises for enlisted personnel. 755 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 9: So we want to make sure that they're taken care 756 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 9: of because they take care of us. 757 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, sir. 758 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: Now we have so many new revelations, the things that 759 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: we kind of knew existed, but they were lasified. 760 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: Now they're unclassified. They're out there for everybody to see. 761 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: Barack Obama, John Brennan James Comey set in motion a 762 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: nine year scandal of turning the law enforcement intelligence agencies 763 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: into a political attack dog to keep Republicans on defense 764 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: and to protect Democrats like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton 765 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: with legal issues. Do you think the Pam Bondi Justice 766 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: Department can secure some form of justice in the form 767 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: of charges, convictions, lawsuits. What do you think happens to 768 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: get real accountability? 769 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 9: Yeah, the people are accounting on that now. Remember there 770 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 9: has been some accountability. 771 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 10: First of all, Hillary Clinton was never elected to president, 772 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 10: and there was a reason for that because the American 773 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 10: people did not trust her. And nothing will hurt Hillary 774 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 10: Clinton more as long as she's on this earth than 775 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 10: being defeated by Donald Trump. So there was some accountability there, 776 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 10: and there was accountability by the voters in November of 777 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 10: twenty twenty four when they said, you know what, Trump guy. 778 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 10: We don't agree with him on everything, but you know what, 779 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 10: that's the route we have to go here if America 780 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 10: is going to if America is going to succeed, and 781 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 10: we're seeing it happen at this point. So I think 782 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 10: some of that accountability is happening now. Talking to Chairman 783 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 10: Jordan of Judiciary, which of course I sit on the 784 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 10: Judiciary Committee, we're going to have Pam Bondi and Cash 785 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 10: Betel before the Judiciary Committee. I think in September, maybe 786 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 10: even Tulsea Gabber, We're going to ask them the hard questions, 787 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 10: and then a lot of this is going to fall 788 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 10: on the administration. 789 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 9: What are you going to do with this information. 790 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 10: That shows that Barack Obama and others falsified I think 791 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 10: that's the accurate term, isn't it falsified information in order 792 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 10: to derail the first Trump administration? And by the way, 793 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 10: they were successful to a large extent in derailing the 794 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 10: Trump administration in his first term. But they're sure not 795 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 10: derailing it now, are they? 796 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 2: Yes? 797 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 4: Trison, before we let you go, is are there an 798 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 4: nine is that are balancing around Congress in light of 799 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 4: this reporting, in light of what we have now learned 800 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 4: about Barack Obama's involvement and all of the inner workings 801 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 4: of James Comy and John Brennan and all the others, 802 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 4: Are there any ideas being bounced around Congress about how 803 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 4: there can be strengthened guardrails. I don't know if that 804 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 4: means that, you know, these oversight committees and subcommittees can be. 805 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 3: Put on steroids. How do you prevent this from happening 806 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 3: in the future? 807 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 10: You know, I don't know what that is a man, 808 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 10: and it's a really good question. But you can't legislate 809 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:38,359 Speaker 10: ethical behavior. You can't legislate moral moral behavior. So it's 810 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 10: up to the American people to police it. And it 811 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 10: goes back to my answer in regards to accountability. No 812 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 10: environment of twenty twenty four, I think that's when the 813 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 10: accountability kicked in. Barack Obama was out there doing everything 814 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 10: he could to get Kamala Harris selected because he knows, 815 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 10: he knows his legacies at stake, and I think more 816 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 10: than anything that accountability is going to be Barack Obama. 817 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 9: It turns out all was a failed president. 818 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, powerful words to think about. Congressman, great honor to you. 819 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: Enjoy that recess.

It wasn't 851 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 1: an isolated incident out of Richmond, like Chris Ray and 852 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: his team tried to spin us. 853 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. 854 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: There's growing body of evidence that Chris raised his testimony 855 00:40:58,680 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: was chronically wrong. 856 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 2: For Congress. It's going to be interesting to see if 857 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 2: they make a referral wrong. 858 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm sure. I'm sure that's what it was, and 859 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 4: it wasn't just untruthful. Yeah, yeah, we shall see, all right. 860 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,240 Speaker 4: So yesterday there was a meeting up in New Jersey. 861 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 4: Seventeen attorneys in New Jersey, fifteen of which were nominated 862 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 4: by Barack Obama or Joe Biden, voted to replace Alena 863 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 4: Habba as interim US attorney in New Jersey. 864 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 3: Now, I spoke to Mike Davis about this yesterday. 865 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 2: Judge is actually right, Yeah, your judges uh huh, And. 866 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 4: Mike Davis said that they can try to get rid 867 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 4: of her, but she'll just come in as an assistant 868 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 4: and then she will already said they're not going to 869 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 4: be able to get rid of her. 870 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, I think tonight, Pam Bondi's already making actions 871 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: to reinstall Alena Habba as the attorneys done. 872 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 2: A lot of chaos going on there. 873 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: Watch for this to be another epic battle between the 874 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: executive branch and the judicial. 875 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of it. I guess we take 876 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 2: a quick commercial. Ba come back with a good guess right. 877 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 4: Indeed, yes, we took our little interim break, and now 878 00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:09,760 Speaker 4: we're going to be back on the other side. Welcome back, everybody. 879 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 4: With the emergence of mayoral candidate Zorn Mamdani, other socialist 880 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 4: adjacent candidates have come out of the woodwork in other states, 881 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 4: such as Omar Fata of Minneapolis. 882 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 3: It's a surprising turn of events. 883 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 4: Minneapolis's Democratic Farmer Labor Party endorsed Fata for mayor in 884 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 4: favor of sitting Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey, who has held 885 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 4: that position since twenty eighteen. Fray and his team have 886 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 4: decided to appeal the decision, and Frey mentioned on x 887 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 4: that the decision should be made by the whole city 888 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 4: and not a handful of delegates. 889 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,279 Speaker 3: I think that sounds fair. 890 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 4: So why do these outwardly socialist candidates seem to be 891 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 4: at the forefront of the Democrat party? Now joining us 892 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 4: now to discuss this as AMAX editor in chief Shane here. 893 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 3: Shane, thanks so much for being with us. 894 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks for having me. 895 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of Democrats out there who would 896 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 4: like to say that this is not happening in their 897 00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 4: party and they're not being taken. 898 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 3: Over by socialists. 899 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 4: But if it walks like a duck and it talks 900 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 4: like a duck, it kind of looks like Democrats are 901 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 4: looking more like socialist ducks. 902 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right. 903 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 11: You know, you have the Zorn Mamdani phenomenon in New 904 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,919 Speaker 11: York City, right, and a bunch of Democrats were quick 905 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 11: to say, basically, this is just a one off, this 906 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 11: is not who we are. People were kind of slow 907 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 11: to embrace him. But now that you have Omar fat 908 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 11: in Minneapolis, well now that's a pattern. Now that's a trend. 909 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,359 Speaker 11: And so we saw for a while after twenty twenty 910 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 11: when Democrats almost lost the House and then twenty twenty 911 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 11: four when they got wiped out, there was this moment 912 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 11: where Democrats kind of looked inward and they were like, man, 913 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 11: are we going too far left? Are we becoming too socialists? 914 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 11: And apparently they've looked in the mirror and said the 915 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 11: answer is no, because you have all of these candidates 916 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 11: now who are rising up, and you have people like 917 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 11: AOC and Bernie Sanders who are embracing these openly socialist 918 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 11: candidates who are calling for basically a government takeover of housing, 919 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,880 Speaker 11: twenty dollars minimum wage, all of these openly socialist policy. 920 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 11: So it doesn't bode well for a party that just 921 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 11: got completely rejected for its extremism at the ballot box 922 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,960 Speaker 11: last year. It's easy to say, well, it's just happening 923 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 11: in these urban areas, it's just these progressive centers, but 924 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 11: it always starts there and then it spreads to the 925 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 11: rest of the party. And so I think that's what 926 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 11: we might start to see with the broader Democrat party 927 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 11: moving forward. 928 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 1: It seems to me that a potential civil war, a 929 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: fight over the heart of this party may be ahead 930 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:32,280 Speaker 1: because at some point, the traditional base, the traditional funders, 931 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: are going to get tired of getting swamped in these 932 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: elections because of the far left nature. Do you see 933 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 1: that moment coming sooner or do you think this drags 934 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: out a little bit longer and the AOC impact, the 935 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,319 Speaker 1: AOC Bernie Sanders impact, kind of carries. 936 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 2: On for a while. 937 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think what you mentioned about some 938 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 11: of the traditional donor base getting tired of this, it's 939 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 11: already happening. We're already seeing that the DNC is way 940 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 11: behind on its bills, can barely can barely keep the 941 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 11: lights on, and so we're already starting to see that effect. 942 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 11: And you know you mentioned earlier how the Minneapolis Democrat 943 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 11: Party endorse Omar fat over the sitting mayor, Jacob Fray. 944 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 11: That's kind of a bad omen for the party if 945 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 11: Jacob Fray is considered too moderate for at least some 946 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 11: Democrats in Minneapolis, because remember, if you rewind the clock 947 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 11: just five years, Jacob Fray, this is the guy who 948 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 11: was a hero of the Black Lives Matter movement, who 949 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 11: was literally bending the knee to BLM. And so the 950 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 11: fact that now he's considered, as you know, too moderate 951 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 11: for the Democrat Party, that's a bad sign. 952 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:39,759 Speaker 6: For where the party's headed. 953 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 11: And I think there's going to be a lot of 954 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 11: disillusioned Democrats who aren't too happy with it. 955 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. 956 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: By the way, Democrats only raised half as much as 957 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: Republicans in the last month. I've never seen a two 958 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: to one advantage in a race like that. There are 959 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 1: a jouble on the fundraising side already. 960 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, And how how does a party double down on 961 00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 4: what voters roundly rejected in November? Is it just the 962 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,959 Speaker 4: party elites who are doubling down and they are leaving 963 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 4: their voters behind. 964 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 9: Yeah. 965 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 11: So I think the big problem for Democrats is that 966 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 11: they exist in this echo chamber. Right for the last 967 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 11: twenty thirty forty years, they've been incredibly successful at infiltrating 968 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 11: and taking over major American institutions, whether that's the corporate 969 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 11: media or academia, or the deep state, the federal bureaucracy. 970 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 11: And so what has happened is that they basically exist 971 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,840 Speaker 11: in the world, in this world where the most radical 972 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 11: elements of the party are only talking to themselves. And 973 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 11: so I really think that they just don't understand how 974 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 11: out of touch they've become with everyday Americans. And that's 975 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,399 Speaker 11: why they're so shocked every time they lose, Because when 976 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,959 Speaker 11: they turn on CNN or MSNBC, or they go listen 977 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 11: to a college lecture or whatever it may be, all 978 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 11: they're being told is how popular their policies are and 979 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 11: how evil the other side is. And so they almost 980 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 11: can't even fathom the idea that they might be wrong. 981 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 11: That's a very dangerous place to be for a political 982 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 11: party when you can't really see what's going on and 983 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 11: you just see everything through rose colored glasses and you 984 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 11: can't see reality for what it is. 985 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Shane Harry Herdini seems to have come to Washington. 986 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 1: He made the House disappear to just suddenly laughed. They're 987 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: in there, gone, they were gonna have votes on Thursday. 988 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 2: Gone. 989 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: The budget bills aren't done, a lot of the people's 990 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 1: work aren't done. How disappointing is it for the AMAC base, 991 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: all of those who are expecting some more work to 992 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: be done to see Mike Johnson adjourney and get out 993 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: of town. 994 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,720 Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, so it is disappointing on some level. 995 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 11: But on the other hand, if you look over the 996 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,839 Speaker 11: past few weeks, the string of victories that we've seen 997 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,399 Speaker 11: out of the House, I mean, what Speaker Johnson pulled 998 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 11: off just before the fourth of July holiday, passing President 999 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 11: Trump's one. 1000 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:50,719 Speaker 9: Big beautiful Bill. 1001 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 11: I mean, I don't think that even many people on 1002 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,359 Speaker 11: the Republican side thought that he would get that done. 1003 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 11: And then after that to pass you know, a string 1004 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 11: of bills, whether it be the Genius Act, the Fannel Actual, 1005 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,840 Speaker 11: a series of legislative wins, the Recisions Bill, of course, 1006 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 11: and so what Speaker Johnson I think has done over 1007 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 11: the past few weeks, because remember when he came in 1008 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 11: as Speaker in twenty twenty three, there were a lot 1009 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 11: of people who really doubted if he could even hold 1010 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,759 Speaker 11: the House GOP caucus together. But he's actually done a 1011 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 11: pretty admirable job of that with just a few sea majority, 1012 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 11: and so I think that he's earned a little. 1013 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 9: Bit of the benefit of the doubt. 1014 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 11: That being said, you know, our leaders in Congress, they 1015 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 11: always have to keep earning our trust, and so I 1016 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,359 Speaker 11: think that he's got a big job ahead of him 1017 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 11: to avoid a government shutdown. Certainly, I think he would 1018 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 11: be the first to tell you there behind where they 1019 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 11: would like to be. But he continues to strike an 1020 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,239 Speaker 11: optimistic note that you know, the House will come back 1021 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,719 Speaker 11: and be able to get government funding done. And of course, 1022 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 11: you know, House members do have an important job to 1023 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 11: go home and sell the one big, beautiful build of 1024 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 11: the constituents, explain all the great things that that legislation 1025 00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 11: is going to do. And so disappointing, yes, but for 1026 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 11: the moment I think it's still worth having a little 1027 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 11: faith in Speaker Johnson to get the job doney. 1028 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 4: And maybe they'll fill the crunch and they'll get it 1029 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 4: done even faster.
