1 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: Good evening, America, Happy Wednesday. Welcome to the latest edition 2 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: of Justin News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, 3 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: reporting to you, as always from the nation's capital, where 4 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: another day of Trump history is being made day in in, 5 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: day out. First, some new information we've got from our 6 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: own chief investigative correspondent, Jerry Dunlavy. He broke it late 7 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: last night. You might have seen it on justinews dot com. 8 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: It turns out that the Biden administration very quietly created 9 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: an exemption for many low level right for this Taliban 10 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: you heard me right, Taliban civil servants were allowed to 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: come to the United States, hundreds of them. This news 12 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: comes in the wake of the Afghan National re charge 13 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: was charged with attacking the National guardsmen and killing one 14 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: of them in DC, right near the White House. So 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: how did it work? Well? The Biden led Department of 16 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Homeland Security and the State Department announced in June twenty 17 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: twenty two that it had put together new exemptions for 18 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: purportedly that it applicants who would otherwise be blocked from 19 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the United States, including some former Taliban government workers. I'm 20 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: not making this up. It's in writing. The policy allowed 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: hundreds of Afghans to come to the United States when 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: they would have otherwise been barred due to terrorism related 23 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,919 Speaker 1: tie ties amiss in admissible standards. They were set aside 24 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: so that these folks could come into the country. Another 25 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: giant glaring security all on exemptions were for Afghans who 26 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: had worked as civil servants under the Taliban, both before 27 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: nine to eleven and after August twenty twenty one when 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: the government fell and the Taliban retook control of the 29 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: Afghanistan country and its government. Really remarkable stuff. A couple 30 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: other things I want to get too quickly before I 31 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: turned things over to my amazing CoA, Samanna Head. The 32 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: Justice Department has promised a different way of going about 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: making sure we have election tegrity in the world, and 34 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: they are doing it on a daily basis. Six Blue 35 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: states have been sued, and I have a funny feeling 36 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: many more will be shortly for not turning over their 37 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: voter roles so that they can be inspected to make 38 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 1: sure that they're cleaned up, that we don't have dead 39 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: people and non citizens on the voter role. As you know, 40 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: lots of proof now that non citizens made it on 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: the voter rolls and some of them even got into 42 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: voting illegally. Now, one other thing I want to talk 43 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: to you about. A little while ago, you probably started 44 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: to see anonymous stories appearing around the country saying that 45 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: the Inspector General the Pentagon said that Pete Hegseth risk 46 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: national security by talking on signal about some of the 47 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: military plans for strikes in iron I just want to 48 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: tell you about something that you're not hearing from those 49 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: anonymous leaks. That report, I am certain for my reporting 50 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: also concludes that nothing that Hegseth shared was classified. Remember, 51 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: he was accused of sharing classified information. He didn't share 52 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: any classified information. And here's the second thing that the 53 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: media who's putting out those anonymous leaks won't tell you, 54 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: But we're going to tell you. We're going to bring 55 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: a guest on in a little bit to tell you 56 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: about it. The report also concludes that what Hegseth was 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: doing had become the norm in the Pentagon meeting. It 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: was going on during the Biden years. It was a 59 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: normal processesn't mean it was right, but if it was 60 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: the norm and it wasn't classified, two things that the 61 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: media right now aren't telling you in those stories We're 62 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: going to have Wannapeede Hess top advisors Tim Parlatour on 63 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: the show in a little bit. We're going to break 64 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: some news news that you're not getting from those anonymous leaks. Sorry, 65 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: let me turn to my amazing coast and Medhad She 66 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: always has other great headline. She's watching What's on your radar? 67 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, John. 68 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: The Democrats continue to try and make the Trump administration 69 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: policy of striking Venezuelan drugs smuggling boats the top story 70 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: in the country, and in doing so, they are saying some. 71 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: Pretty crazy things. 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: They sure are. 73 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: For example, after all the drama around Senator Mark Kelly 74 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: and other Democrats releasing that video encouraging members of the 75 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: military to ignore illegal orders as they call them, by 76 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: the President, they've now moved to saying that what the 77 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: military Harry is doing. 78 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: To those drug boats could be illegal. 79 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: And because of that, Senator Mark Werner is making the 80 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: argument that maybe the military will quote save us from 81 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: President Trump. Here he is saying just that when asked 82 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: about Admiral Bradley briefing lawmakers on those drug boats strikes. 83 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 4: And I think in many ways the uniform military mate 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 4: helped save us from this President and his lame people 85 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 4: like hagsaf because I think their commitment is to the 86 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: Constitution and obviously not the Trump and I expect Bradley 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 4: to adhere to that. 88 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 3: And unfortunately that's not all because we also have some 89 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: Democrats defending the direction levelers on those. 90 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: Boats, like Senator Jack Reid did recently. 91 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 5: And most knacko traffickers are not in those boats. They 92 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 5: pay people to do that, and usually people who are 93 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 5: not significantly involved with knocko trading. It's the way they 94 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 5: make money. 95 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: And how about Congressman Jim Hymes who says that the 96 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: whole concept. 97 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: Of a narco terrorist is completely made up. 98 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 6: There is no such thing as a narco terrorist. 99 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 7: There are very very bad narcotics people, cartels, etc. But 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 7: they're desperate to make this look like it's ISIS or 101 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 7: a La KaiA because that's the very thin line on 102 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 7: which they're illegal use of the United States military to 103 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 7: take these people out resides John. 104 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 105 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: Maybe these points are passable by Democrat voters, but they 106 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 3: seem just completely wack adoodle, I think, probably to most Americans. 107 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: To take a look at what Barack Obama did when 108 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: he designated a whole bunch of narco traffickers. Democrats forget 109 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: what they did. I don't know what to say except 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: that the Democrats are in the world of reality. Sometimes 111 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of sat all right, Well, one thing I'm 112 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 1: certain of is our first guest is on the front 113 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: lines of some history.

I'll have you know that the Department 137 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 8: of Justice Civil Rights Division has sent letters to all 138 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 8: fifty states and we have actually actively engaged with over 139 00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 8: half of them. 140 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 6: As follows. We're now in litigation with fourteen states. 141 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 8: So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, 142 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 8: Washington State, and Vermont. 143 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 6: That adds to eight we already had going. 144 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 8: We are close to reaching resolution voluntary cooperation with another 145 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 8: dozen states, and I won't say which those are, but 146 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 8: I think we will definitely let the public know when 147 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 8: that happens. We have voluntary cooperation from four states, and 148 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 8: we reached a settlement and consent to create with the 149 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 8: state of North Carolina that agreed to clean up over 150 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 8: one hundred thousand people on the voter rolls that were 151 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,559 Speaker 8: there improperly, and so that's over half the state's John 152 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 8: that we're actively engaged in either litigation or settlements with 153 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 8: and so it's really good news for America. And we're 154 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 8: going to march through and make sure that we reach 155 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 8: a resolution with everybody before we're done, and get the 156 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 8: evidence and the information that the Attorney General, on whose 157 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 8: behalf I litigating is entitled to. 158 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: Amazing her meet outside of litigation, outside the court room. 159 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: I think most Americans here that there are states that 160 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: don't want to give up their voter roles, and they think. 161 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: Well, there's no excuse for that. 162 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: Obviously, there's nothing to hide, and there's no excuse for 163 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 3: wanting to conceal your voter records. But I'm sure that legally, 164 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: within the courtroom and within litigation, they are putting up 165 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: a reason. 166 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 2: Is it privacy? What are they arguing? 167 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 8: Mainly they're arguing privacy, or that the reason that the 168 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 8: DOJ has given for this information isn't the real reason. 169 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 6: You know, they always have some. 170 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 8: Silly conspiracy theory going, but actually don't have to give 171 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 8: a reason. Under the federal laws that we've cited, we're 172 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 8: entitled to this information. 173 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 6: The states don't get to go back and forth with us. 174 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 8: One of the dumbest reasons that I hear put up 175 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 8: is oh, you know social Security number is confidential. Well, 176 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 8: how can it be confidential from the federal government that 177 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 8: issues the Social Security numbers? 178 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 6: That's really silly. 179 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 8: And the other thing that people should know is that 180 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 8: almost all of the states that are using this argument 181 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 8: voluntarily hand over their voter role information to nonprofit and 182 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 8: NGO groups. 183 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 6: Eric is one of them. And so what's the privacy concern. 184 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 8: If you're willing to give it to some nonprofit that 185 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 8: benefits your political agenda, why aren't you going to give 186 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 8: it to the United States. So we are not going 187 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 8: to be deterred by these reasons. That is why so 188 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 8: many states are actually. 189 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 6: Falling into line. 190 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 8: They realize that it would be a waste of tax 191 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 8: dollars to fight these efforts. And ultimately, what we're trying 192 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 8: to do is help all of the states do their 193 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 8: jobs better. Each of these states is required to keep 194 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 8: clean voter roles, they're not doing it. 195 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 6: For the most part. This is red states and blue states. 196 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 8: I'm sorry to say, we did get some resistance from 197 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 8: both sides, but we're just here to help. So we're 198 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 8: going to compare data, We're going to help eliminate duplicates 199 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 8: and help them root out fraud and get people off 200 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 8: the voter roles who shouldn't be there, and then it's 201 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 8: really up to the states again to continue to maintain 202 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 8: that it's their duty. 203 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Oar meet. One of the great lines that Democrats use 204 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: for years on this there's nothing to see here, Everything 205 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: is fine, But when you start getting your hands on 206 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: these voter roles, tell us some of the things that 207 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: your staff has been able to find that show that 208 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: these voter roles are not only outdated but potentially corrupted. Yeah. 209 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 8: Well, I don't want to get into specifics before we've 210 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 8: completed all of our review and every time we get 211 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 8: new data, we're then, you know, kind of updating our analysis. 212 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 8: But there are definitely people on the voter rolls of 213 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 8: every state who don't belong there. They're dead, they've moved, 214 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 8: they're registered multiple times. There have been reported instances of 215 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 8: people because of these insecure, double or extraneous registrations, going 216 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 8: to the polls and having their record voted before they 217 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 8: got there. There are clearly people on the voter roles, 218 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 8: including immigrants who are not citizens, and that can include 219 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 8: legal immigrants and illegal immigrants who are on the voter rolls, 220 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 8: and some states have become very sloppy and lucy goosey 221 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 8: about how people register and its self certification in most jurisdictions. 222 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 8: In California, when you go to renew your license and 223 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 8: every ten years they make you go to the and 224 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 8: do it, they ask you if you want to register 225 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 8: to vote. I actually had to call a staffer over 226 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 8: to the electronic screen and explain to them that there 227 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 8: was no option for me to say I'm already registered. 228 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 8: So I might have gotten registered twice because I had 229 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 8: moved since the last time. 230 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 6: That's kind of the default. It's a mess. And when 231 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 6: you couple that with both. 232 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 8: The mail in voting with no excuse absentee balloting and 233 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 8: some cockamamy schemes that some politicians have advanced to have 234 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 8: telephone voting, this is a scary scenario and it's going 235 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 8: to lead to inaccurate elections and people not having confidence 236 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 8: in the outcome of our elections, which is a real 237 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 8: civics problem in this country that we need to get passed. 238 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 3: Me. 239 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: In your North Carolina settlement, we get a little bit 240 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: of a sense of the scope one state. I think 241 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: you're identifying about one hundred thousand people who didn't belong 242 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: on the voter rolls. Is that correct. 243 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 8: Well, the situation there was they were enrolled in the 244 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 8: voter rolls without the proper information required by North Carolina law. 245 00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 6: And so the. 246 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 8: Settlement acquires the state at its expense to contact those 247 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 8: one hundred thousand voters get the accurate information from them, 248 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 8: and if they're not able to do that, then they 249 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 8: need to be removed from the voter roles. 250 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 6: And so that's a big number. 251 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 8: As you know, we've had instances of elections won and 252 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 8: lost in the last few years, particularly here in the 253 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 8: backyard here in Virginia, by one vote. It happens all 254 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 8: the time, and so it is not a good response 255 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 8: to say, oh, voter fraud is rare. I'm not saying 256 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 8: it's fraud. I'm saying it's sloppiness. I'm saying it's inaccuracy, 257 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 8: and I'm saying it leads to infirm election results that 258 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 8: people can't trust. We need that trust, We need everyone 259 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 8: to trust the outcome of the elections. And every citizen 260 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 8: is entitled to their vote in a federal election being 261 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 8: counted only once and only in conjunction with other legal voters. 262 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 3: For me, when it comes to that sloppiness, and that 263 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: inaccuracy and unfortunately, in some cases fraud. We all saw 264 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 3: and I know that the deterioration of election integrity has 265 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: happened a little bit along the way for a very 266 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: long time, but leading up to the twenty twenty election, 267 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 3: the Pennsylvania case is a very good example of how 268 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: major major changes were made. You are doing a really 269 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: great job in your position at the DOJ. I know 270 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: you're working with state attorneys general and other colleagues at 271 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: the DOJ to try to fix those problems. 272 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: But for what you can do for these four years. 273 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 3: Is it something that the next administration, if it's Democrats 274 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 3: or Democrats in states that control voting in their own states, 275 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 3: is that stuff that they're going to be able to 276 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 3: revert just like they did in twenty twenty. 277 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 6: Of course, elections matter, and elections have consequences, and the 278 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 6: sloppiness of the elections in blue states is no accident. 279 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 8: It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug, 280 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 8: and the goal is to cram as many people on 281 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 8: there and make voters who are not particularly engaged make 282 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 8: it easy for someone else to help them fill out 283 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 8: their ballot and return it for them when they didn't 284 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 8: care enough to do it themselves, and so that is 285 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 8: a problem. And we also have arly we averted HR 286 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 8: one becoming the law in the last election before the 287 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 8: turnover of the White House, where Nancy Pelosi was pretty 288 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 8: close to getting a national California level standardless voter regime, 289 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 8: and that would have been disastrous to election integrity and 290 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 8: election confidence. We have other problems with how machine data 291 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 8: is handled. You see sloppiness by election officials in many 292 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 8: elections in that and then people don't trust the outcome 293 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 8: of these elections, and so we. 294 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 6: Really need to do a much better job here. 295 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 8: In the rest of the civilized world, people are able 296 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 8: to vote on the same day and get the results 297 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 8: in real time that evening, and or people use paper 298 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 8: ballots and get results quickly. We can do this in 299 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 8: the civilized country, but for now each state will have 300 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 8: to come to that conclusion. What we can do at 301 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 8: the federal government level is ensure that our federal election 302 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 8: laws are observed, and that includes each state's requirement to 303 00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 8: keep clean voter les. 304 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 6: That is a fundamental. 305 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 8: Basic and if we don't have that, then who knows 306 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 8: who's voting in our elections? 307 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 6: And then no one trusts the outcome. 308 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we've got about a minute left, real quickly. 309 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: You've made some enormous success with colleges, big settlements, big money, 310 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: but most importantly, better roles in place for future students 311 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: and academics. Tell us about it. 312 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 6: Absolutely. I'm so proud of this work. 313 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 8: It's been less than eight months in office, and I've 314 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 8: worked hand in hand with Secretary Linda McMahon and with 315 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 8: the support of my boss, Pan Bondy and the President, 316 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 8: and I've briefed him repeatedly on these settlements, and we've 317 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 8: reached almost half a billion dollars worth of settlements. Most 318 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 8: of that money is going directly into the United States Treasury. 319 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 8: And more importantly than the money, in my opinion, is 320 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 8: the fundamental changes in each of these schools that we 321 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 8: have driven. Requiring equal access for all Americans and end 322 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 8: to the DEI policies and an end to the recent 323 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 8: anti semitism that we've seen really mars some of our 324 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 8: nation's highest institutions of higher learning. And we are just 325 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 8: getting started.

The DHS that in the past twelve 408 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 11: months there were thirty six million reports filed with them 409 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 11: from parents saying their child had been targeted online. Think 410 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 11: about that number. That's three million a month on average 411 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 11: in the United States. There's not enough law enforcement in 412 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 11: the world to combat the level of problem that we're 413 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 11: facing in this country with child predators and traffickers. So 414 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 11: the point of this video the rights to center. This 415 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 11: is the song written from the parents perspective. I'm actually 416 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 11: talking directly to the predator in the song, like, if 417 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 11: you think you want to come get my kid, you're 418 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 11: going to have to deal with me. You're going to 419 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 11: have to deal with me, and that's not going to 420 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 11: go well for you. And in this video, we actually 421 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 11: do a recreation of adults purchasing children. Now, it is 422 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 11: a very disturbing thing to look at, but I think 423 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 11: one reason this problem is so big is that most 424 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,239 Speaker 11: regular American parents don't want to look at that. They 425 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 11: don't want to have to think about it or try 426 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 11: to digest the fact that it's actually real. And that's 427 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 11: the point of the song. I want people to watch 428 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 11: this video and I want to stand up and start 429 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 11: defending their own home. Take measures in your own house 430 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 11: to protect your kids. 431 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such an important message and you're so right. 432 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: Earlier in my career, I did a story on teachers 433 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: who had molested children moved to another district. There was 434 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: no tracking system back in those days, and they would 435 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: must have children the second time, third time, and I 436 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: interviewed the parents of some of the victims. And the 437 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: first thing they said to me is, you know what, 438 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of suspicion and I wish 439 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: I had acted on it. There was such guilt, there 440 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: was such You know that parent a lenstinct is usually 441 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: pretty good if you got the suspicion, get involved quickly. 442 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: This song really, I think encourages parents to get over 443 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: the fear and take a hold. It's such a great message, John. 444 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it is. 445 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 11: They're very tricky, these predators. I mean, like I said, 446 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 11: they'll pose as a fourteen year old girl. Hey, I'm 447 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 11: a cheerleader. I go to a school right down the 448 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 11: road from you. What's your name? And your son or 449 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 11: daughter will start talking to them, and then the next 450 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 11: thing you know, this predator is saying, hey, I know 451 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 11: your parent's name, your sibling's name, your home address, where 452 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 11: you go to school, and now you're going to meet 453 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 11: me at this gas station in thirty minutes or all 454 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 11: these bad things are going to happen to your family. 455 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 11: And that's how they get them. And then they get 456 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 11: them out of the house, and the next thing you know, 457 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 11: they're being sold over and over and over again around 458 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,479 Speaker 11: this country. Thirty six million reports. So that doesn't mean 459 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 11: it happened thirty six million times. That means it was 460 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 11: reported thirty six million times in one year. This problem 461 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 11: is massive. Law enforcement can't handle a problem this big. 462 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 11: It has to start with the moms and dads, and 463 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 11: I would add one thing. If you want to know, Okay, 464 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 11: John's talking about this, what are we supposed to do? 465 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 11: Go on YouTube and look up my name John Rich 466 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 11: and DHS. That's all you got to do, John Rich, DHS. 467 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 11: There's a ninety minute seminar of me with the DHS 468 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 11: agent walking parents step by step by step on what 469 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 11: they can do with their kids' devices to make them 470 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 11: what they refer to as a hard target, make them impenetrable. 471 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 11: You can't get to them because they said, when a 472 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 11: predator comes across a kid who's a hard target, who's 473 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 11: who's defended online, they move on, They move on to 474 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 11: somebody else. So it is your duty as a parent 475 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 11: to understand this is happening, to absorb it as disturbing 476 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 11: as it is, and put up a defense around your kids. 477 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 478 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 3: I mean, I remember the good old days when the 479 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 3: three of us grew up, when it was look both 480 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: ways before you cross the street and don't take candy 481 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: from strangers. 482 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: But parents are up against so much more these days. 483 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, if you distill down your 484 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 3: ninety minute video, I guess maybe I'm a little hardcore 485 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: because I would just say get rid of the internet, 486 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 3: Get rid of the internet, get rid of cell phones. Kids, 487 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: no more, you're not on line at all. 488 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that that'd be nice. But you know 489 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 11: today in school, like I've got two teenage boys. They 490 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 11: both play baseball. I mean they have they communicate with 491 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 11: the coach and the team on their phone. They change 492 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 11: practice times about thirty minutes. They get alert and then 493 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 11: they know what's going on.

If you don't protect your kids, at 509 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 11: some point, somebody's going to contact them that you don't 510 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 11: want anything to do with, and we just can't let 511 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 11: that happen. 512 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: It's so amazing you're doing such great work, John, real 513 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: quickly before we let you go.

I don't know the 533 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 3: structure of her agreement with her label or I guess 534 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: the more important and more pertinent issue is who owns 535 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 3: her masters. But there's nothing Sabrina Carpenter can do anyway, 536 00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 3: is there. 537 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 11: Now owns it? She's owned by the company.

And unfortunately, 593 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 13: we've seen in the country what happens when leftist elected 594 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 13: leaders go after cops. When they make law enforcement the 595 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 13: bad guy, it's our communities that suffer for it. In Colorado, 596 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 13: we just had the sixth largest fentanyl seizure in US 597 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 13: history happen in the south side of the Denver metro area, 598 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 13: enough fetanyl to kill six point eight million Americans. 599 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 12: That poison is in our communities. 600 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 13: Because Colorado is a sanctuary city and a sanctuary state, 601 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 13: they fully embraced defund the police ideology, and so Cartel's 602 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 13: drug traffickers, criminals are free to bring that poison into 603 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 13: our community. 604 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 12: Our communities pay the price. 605 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 13: Colorado has been the number two state in the nation 606 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 13: for teenagers overdosing and dying on fentanyl. And as a 607 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 13: police officer, when you see that every day and you 608 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 13: can't do anything about it because of how you're handcuffed 609 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 13: by a bunch of leftist laws, then that is it's 610 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 13: a moral injury. It's a mental injury in addition to 611 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 13: all of the physical danger that occurs when you have 612 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 13: all of this anti law enforcement rhetoric. So I kind 613 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 13: of went off on some folks and laid down some 614 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 13: hard truths based on ten years of being a cop 615 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 13: and having to actually bury two of my buddies, one 616 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 13: of whom was assassinated, shot in the back by an 617 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 13: anti lawn enforcement activist who was radicalized by a lot 618 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 13: of the rhetoric that comes from a lot of these 619 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 13: leftists defund the police, leaders. 620 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 2: Congressman. 621 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 3: Supporting police used to be an American issue. It was 622 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: not Democrat, it was not Republican. And it seems like 623 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 3: the beginning of all of this happened. What was that 624 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 3: two thousand and nine when Barack Obama demonized police in Massachusetts. 625 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 3: It feels like that was the beginning of this new 626 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 3: era where Democrats really think it's okay to demonize any 627 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 3: form of law enforcement. 628 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 12: Well, it goes beyond that. 629 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 13: I mean a lot of times they're going to demonize 630 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 13: anybody that disagrees with them. One of the things that 631 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 13: I brought up in Homeland Security earlier today was when 632 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 13: the Democrat speaker of the state House in Minnesota was murdered. 633 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 13: Every single Republican voted to condemn that act of political violence. 634 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 13: But when Charlie Kirk got murdered one hundred and eighteen, 635 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 13: Democrats could not bring themselves to condemn that act of 636 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 13: political violence against a conservative figure. And so you have 637 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 13: a complete and total discannt with the Democrat Party, with 638 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 13: their leftist base in terms of just being able to 639 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 13: condemn something as simple as political violence. And of course 640 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 13: it's the cops that are ultimately going to have to 641 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 13: try to hold things together because they're the ones that 642 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 13: are ultimately at the receiving end of trying to keep 643 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 13: violence out of our communities. 644 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: So I want to ask you about something that Democrats 645 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: are saying more loudly now and it has me scratching 646 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: my head. They don't want the US military to stop 647 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: the poison coming into our country to knock out. They 648 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 1: don't even want to call the men and women who 649 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: are in those boats taking lethal amounts of fentanyl into 650 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: our country terrorists. They don't even like the term narco terrorists. 651 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: They seem to be on the side of the poisoners, 652 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: not the poison in our country. What is their thinking 653 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: and how do we combat it? 654 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 13: I mean, if I can tell you what they're thinking was, 655 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 13: you know, I don't know what I would be doing, 656 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 13: but it would be maybe something dollars yeah, right, But 657 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 13: I alluded to it earlier. In addition to ten years 658 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 13: as a police officer, I spent telve years in the 659 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 13: US Army, I deployed to a combat zone as part 660 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 13: of the global War on Terror, and so making sure 661 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 13: that we keep our country, our states, our communities saved 662 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 13: from terrorism is something that again I spent a year 663 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 13: of my life in a combat zone doing Every fifteen 664 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 13: days under the Biden administration, we lost the same number 665 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 13: of Americans to drug overdoses as we lost in the 666 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 13: entirety of the September eleventh terrorist attacks. The cartels, the 667 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 13: drug dealers, the traffickers, they have killed more Americans than 668 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 13: Al Qaeda could ever dream of simply by smuggling this 669 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 13: poison into our communities. The number one killer of Americans 670 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 13: ages eighteen to forty five under Joe Biden was fentanyl, 671 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 13: and so these foreign terrorist organizations have completely earned that 672 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 13: designation as such by the Trump administration. The cartels that 673 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 13: are bringing this poison into our community are terrorists. They 674 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 13: killed as many Americans, They killed as many Americans every 675 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 13: fifteen days under Joe Biden has died at the hand 676 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 13: of al Qaida in the September eleventh terrorist attacks. And 677 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 13: it's time that we put an end of this poison 678 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 13: flowing into our communities. 679 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 12: They're terrorists. They need to be treated as such. 680 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: And I know you've honed in on social media. 681 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of bad stuff that happens 682 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 3: on social media, but I think for a lot of Americans, 683 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 3: they don't see logistically how it happens that fentanyl is trafficked. 684 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: Does it? 685 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 3: Is it a message from someone on the other side 686 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 3: of the border that says, meet me at X location 687 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 3: so you can come pick this up. 688 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 2: How does it happen? 689 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, So one of the pieces of legislation that I've introduced, 690 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 13: actually it's a bipartisan piece of legislation, is focusing on 691 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 13: identifying those exact things. How is fetanyl trafficked over things 692 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 13: like social media. I used to have to deal with 693 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 13: that as a police officer. Something as simple as an 694 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 13: online game where there's a chat feature where players in 695 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 13: this online game can talk to each other, that can 696 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 13: be weaponized by traffickers to get on the game, play 697 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 13: the game, reach out to young, impressionable, vulnerable kids, start 698 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 13: talking things up, and then ultimately be able to set 699 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 13: up these buys where where fetanol or other illicit drugs, 700 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 13: dangerous drugs are being socialized made to sound cool by 701 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 13: online predators through things like game chats and then ultimately 702 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 13: making that point of sale. 703 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 12: So that's what my piece of legislation is focused on. 704 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 13: It is untangling what we used to call in the 705 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 13: army TTPs, those techniques, tactics and procedures that drug users 706 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 13: use to prey upon our kids using something like social 707 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,240 Speaker 13: media or online gaming platforms with chat features. 708 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: Such important stuff, such common sense work that you're proposing, sir. 709 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: It's a great honor to have you on the show. Tay, 710 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. 711 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 12: Yeah, thank you so much for having me. 712 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: Thank you for your service as well.

He's one of the smartest lawyers 720 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: I know. To Tim Parlatar up next after these messages, 721 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: welcome back to everybody. I'm really excited to have this 722 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: next guests on. I brought him on many times as 723 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: a private lawyer, as a managing partner of the Parlator Group. Today, 724 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm bringing him here because he's a commander in the 725 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: Navy Reserve. He's doing a lot of advice to Secretary 726 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: of War Pete Hexceth, and he knows the real truth 727 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: about the signal report that came out to tell you, 728 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: but you're not kidding from the media. Joining us right now, 729 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: our good friend Tim Parlator. Tim, great to have you 730 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: on the show. 731 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 14: Thank you, good to be here. 732 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 1: Uh yes, all right. So I saw these anonymous reports, 733 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: and I've become incredibly suspicious of anonymous media reports. But 734 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 1: they say, oh, the whole essence of the reporter is 735 00:35:54,800 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: that Secretary of War Hecceth jeopardized national security by oing 736 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: some information onto a signal chat and sharing with other 737 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: members of the administration. Now, I remember he was accused 738 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: of leaking classified information. I also thought that this wasn't 739 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: odd tell us what the report really says that the 740 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: media isn't telling us. 741 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 14: So you know, the report is going to be released 742 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 14: in its unclassified form tomorrow, and you know there's a 743 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,240 Speaker 14: couple of pieces that are that are classified. So obviously 744 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 14: we're not going to talk about that. But overall, when 745 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 14: you read it tomorrow, you're going to see that it 746 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 14: totally exonerates Pete Hegseth. There's no classified material in those texts. 747 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 14: Everything he declassified that he has within his authority to declassify. 748 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 14: And that's the majority of what this report talks about. 749 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 14: And so I can understand why. You know day ahead 750 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 14: of time. You know, of course it went over to 751 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 14: the Hill today and so you know the Senate, Senate 752 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 14: and congressional Democrats they wanted to put out. You know, 753 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 14: the one piece of the report that I knew that 754 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 14: this was what they were going to do. There is 755 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 14: there's a tiny little section in there that's really untethered 756 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 14: from the rest of the report where the investigator states 757 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 14: their opinion that having this information out there on an 758 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 14: unclassified system could have endangered the trips. But the problem 759 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 14: is it is completely untothered from the rest of the report. 760 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 14: It doesn't cite to a single source, not a single document, 761 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 14: not a single interview, because it's not something that the 762 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 14: ig was investigating. They weren't looking at what the impact 763 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 14: of this would have been, so they were focusing on 764 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 14: classified information. Did he violate that, did he put out 765 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 14: classified information and the answer is no, totally exonerated. 766 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 3: And whether it is a good means of communication or 767 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 3: not matters not because this was something that was standard 768 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 3: practice during the Biden administration as well, again something that 769 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 3: the media doesn't really want to talk about, but this 770 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 3: has been used for a while, right. 771 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 14: So that's actually another big part of this report is 772 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 14: it talks about how, you know, the use of signal. 773 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 14: It's not a pete hegseet issue, it's not a Trump 774 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 14: administration issue. It's a whole of government issue that really, 775 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 14: you know, the use of signal has proliferated ever since 776 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 14: you know, twenty twenty, when you know, the government shut 777 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 14: down for COVID and all of a sudden everybody had 778 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 14: to go home, and you know, for that couple of weeks, 779 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 14: the entire United States government ran on signal. And it's 780 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 14: not because they're trying to avoid the Federal Records Act 781 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 14: or FOY or anything like that. It's because signal is 782 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 14: secure so they can talk about it without the Chinese 783 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 14: listening in. And so the use of signal has become 784 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 14: you know, so widespread throughout government, you know, throughout the 785 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 14: entire Biden administration. This report actually notes that the former 786 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 14: Secretary Austin actually used to bring his personal cell phone 787 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 14: into the office into the skiff in violation of the law, 788 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 14: and that was something that was passed down to Secretary 789 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 14: of Hegseth when he took over, and he said, well, 790 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 14: I'm not going to do that, and so he wanted 791 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,440 Speaker 14: to do it a different way, you know, because he 792 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 14: wanted to comply with the law. But when he took office, 793 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 14: he was told, hey, all of this stuff is, this 794 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 14: is how it's done. It's all done by signal, and 795 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 14: you know, so that, yes, there is a recommendation that 796 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 14: to comply with the Federal Records Act, we need to, 797 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,240 Speaker 14: you know, look at this and maybe do some training 798 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 14: for senior officials on you know, what the best systems are. 799 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 14: But that's not the main point of the article or 800 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 14: of the investigation. The main point is that there was 801 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 14: no classified information in that text. 802 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's really important because the original story suggested it, 803 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: all right, that Pete Hegseth was sharing classified information on signal. Yeah, 804 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: I g unambiguously concludes that that was not true, right. 805 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 14: Correct, He is the original classifying authority. He has unfettered 806 00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 14: discretion to decide what to unclassify, how and when it's 807 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 14: just like the president, the president also has unfettered discretion 808 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 14: to do that. And so if he decides to take 809 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 14: certain portions of this, move it to an unclassified system 810 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 14: so you can send it out to the other principles, which, 811 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 14: by the way, the reason he did that. At the time, 812 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,040 Speaker 14: they were talking to Partner for USS to give him 813 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 14: a heads up on what was going on. And then 814 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 14: about an hour later, the other people on that Textraad 815 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 14: all went out on TV and gave interviews about what 816 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 14: we had just done, and they were being given the 817 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 14: details that they were allowed to talk about on TV unclassified. 818 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: Amazing. What a difference from the original story we were told. 819 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 3: Sam, what you're telling us about Lloyd Austin bringing his 820 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 3: cell phone into the skiff, I mean, that is something 821 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 3: that even the general public knows that you don't do. 822 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 3: That to me, seems that it fits very well within 823 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 3: the wheelhouse of an administration that really had a cavalier 824 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 3: attitude towards a lot of things, but especially security and 825 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 3: in this case national security. 826 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 14: Correct And it was one of those things that when 827 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 14: Secretary of Hegseth took office, they told him this, and 828 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 14: he said, well, I don't want to do it that way. 829 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,879 Speaker 14: And the report talks about how he went to the 830 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 14: communications team and said, can you find a way that 831 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 14: is legal and secure that would allow me to access 832 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 14: signal from inside the office without bringing my cellphone in 833 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,479 Speaker 14: And they had rigged a device essentially his phone would 834 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 14: be plugged in outside and he'd have a monitor and 835 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 14: keyboard inside the office so he could do that. And 836 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 14: you know which, of course has been misreported in initial 837 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 14: media reports of an unsecured line and everything. But that's 838 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 14: what they did at his request of I don't want 839 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 14: to do what Lloyd Austin did. I don't want to 840 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 14: break the law. Give me something that's legal and secure. 841 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: While we're on the subject of media not telling us 842 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: the truth, the new media pools in all the rules 843 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: are there, and you know what, not once have I 844 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: had to submit a story to Pete Hegseth for prior 845 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: prove because it was never in the world it wasn't true. 846 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: Give us a little update on just how well the 847 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,439 Speaker 1: new press pool and the new press operations are going. 848 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 14: Well to be one hundred percent accurate, John, it was 849 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 14: in the rules back in the nineteen forties. 850 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 1: It was in the forties, that's right. We wrote that story. 851 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 14: Yes, back in the Office of Censorship. You know, I 852 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 14: think the new media is doing great. You know, we 853 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 14: had you know, I said, many interviews today down with them. 854 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:27,919 Speaker 14: You know, I got to meet a lot of them, 855 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 14: and you know, they are asking very good, hard, tough questions, 856 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 14: relevant questions, respectfully, to really try to cover what the 857 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 14: department is actually doing. And one of the things that 858 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 14: I really like about this group is that they are 859 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 14: trying to cover the actual news. And yeah, look, they 860 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 14: were asking me very tough questions about you know, whether 861 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 14: it's signal or you know, the boat strikes or things 862 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 14: like that, but it wasn't gotcha stuff where you know, Okay, 863 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 14: we don't want to hear about any of the good 864 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 14: things the department is doing. 865 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: We only want to. 866 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 14: Figure out some way to attack and kill Pete Hegseth, 867 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 14: you know, which is really what we had been seeing before. 868 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 14: So I'm very excited about it. I think that the 869 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 14: you know, the communications team, you know, Sean Parnell and 870 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 14: his team did a phenomenal job of putting together the 871 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 14: past few days, and I think we're all very happy 872 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 14: with it. 873 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: Are you seeing some signs at some of the media 874 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,359 Speaker 1: that dropped out of buyers or more some wish they 875 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 1: were back in. 876 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 14: I have heard rumblings about that, you know, the original 877 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 14: you know, they were told, you know what was in 878 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 14: this instruction. I think a lot of them didn't even 879 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 14: bother to read it themselves. You know, they were told 880 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 14: by their lawyers, by their bosses, oh, this requires you 881 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 14: to submit your stories for publication review, none of which 882 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 14: is true. And I think that, you know, the performative 883 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 14: walkout that they did was really probably more of a 884 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 14: negotiation tactic expecting us to cave as opposed to bringing. 885 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: In new media. 886 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 14: And I think a lot of them do at this 887 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 14: point regret it, and they realized, you know, the lawyers 888 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 14: screwed them by not giving them an accurate account of 889 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 14: what is in that document. And look, to be fair, 890 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 14: this all happened during the shutdown, which is and this 891 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 14: is a unique point. The department normally would have put 892 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 14: that instruction up on the website, but because of the shutdown, 893 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,799 Speaker 14: they were prohibited from putting it up on the website, 894 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 14: and so therefore all the media and everybody else they 895 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 14: didn't get to read the actual document, though they probably 896 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 14: could have looked for it to find it. 897 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 15: Instead, they just relied two seconds summaries. You found them 898 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 15: because you looked. Everybody else relied on summary. It just 899 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 15: required looking. Yes, Yeah, Tim Parlor Traver. Time we have 900 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 15: you on, You get us looking, you get us thinking. 901 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 15: Most importantly, you get us the truth. Great to have 902 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 15: you on the show tonight, my friend.

All right, folks, for commercial break. 905 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: We've got one more fun when to God. Been waiting 906 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: to have this guy for a few weeks. He's got 907 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: a new book on UFOs or UAPs as they're called. 908 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: You're not gonna want to miss that. So we're going 909 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,760 Speaker 1: to fish a show things message. 910 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. 911 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of government whistleblowers lately coming out 912 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 3: to disclose that there's something strange going on with some 913 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 3: parts of our military and intelligence agencies and UAP's and 914 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 3: identified anomalist phenomena. 915 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 2: So what's behind it all? 916 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 3: Joining us now the author of the new book Catastrophic Disclosure, 917 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,919 Speaker 3: Ken Heck and Lively Kent. Thanks so much for being here, 918 00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 3: Thanks so much for having me all right. You know 919 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 3: there is a recent fascination for a lot of Americans 920 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 3: because Republicans have sought out transparency in this arena. 921 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 2: Tell us about your book. 922 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,439 Speaker 16: Yeah, So Catastrophic Disclosure started about two years ago when 923 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 16: I listened to the congressional. 924 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 17: Hearings with David Rush. 925 00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,040 Speaker 16: Now, I've never written about anything paranormal like this. This 926 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,960 Speaker 16: is my first walk on the wild side. I've usually 927 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 16: covered corruption in government, science, big media, big tech. But 928 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 16: when I heard those hearings, I understood how those whistleblowers 929 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 16: had to be vetted by Congress. And you know, in 930 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 16: one way or another, we've crossed an amazing rubicon. 931 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 17: There's only two choices now. Choice number one is the 932 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 17: government has been lying to us in the past. Choice 933 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 17: number two is, for some reason, the government is lying 934 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 17: to us now. But all of the hoops that these 935 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 17: whistleblowers have had to jump through makes me believe that 936 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 17: this is a genuine effort. 937 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 16: And when I write my books, I usually write it 938 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,680 Speaker 16: with a co author who's well versed in the area, 939 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 16: and so my co author on this book is a 940 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,280 Speaker 16: guy named Michael Mazzola, who's probably one of the world's 941 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 16: leading documentary filmmakers, And when I called him up and 942 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 16: asked about the congressional hearings, he gave me this expression. 943 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 16: He said, behind the scenes, what they're hearing from the 944 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 16: government and intelligence officials is that we're going to enter 945 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 16: a period of controlled disclosure because they're scared of what 946 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 16: they call catastrophic disclosure. 947 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 17: And being a writer, I love words, and so when 948 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 17: I heard those two words together, it was like catnip 949 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 17: to me, and I said, I have to chase that down. 950 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: Now. 951 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 17: What is catastrophic disclosure? 952 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 16: Well, I believe after two years of writing this book, 953 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 16: it's that the government is pretty comfortable eventually coming out 954 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 16: and telling us there are these craft in the sky, 955 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 16: and we may have recovered the bodies. 956 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 17: What they don't want to talk. 957 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 16: About is the fact that this technology has been captured, 958 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 16: it's been given out to private industry, and they may 959 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 16: have done a relatively good job of reverse engineering some 960 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 16: of the technology in ways that would be very disruptive 961 00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 16: to our current economic model. 962 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 1: Wow, all right. You start your book at a very 963 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 1: important time July nineteen forty five, the first nuclear explosion, 964 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: and you work the reader through to the nineteen forty 965 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: seven roswell recovery.
