Craig, of course, has been a speechwriter 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: and special assistant for special projects to a United States 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: congress person. He has been a consultant of federal law Enforcement, 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: d e A, and Homeland Security for years now. He 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: remains a paid analyst and consultant in various areas of geopolitical, 24 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: business and security issues. And what a time to bring 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: you back, Craig. You're one of our favorites. But man, 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: these days are unbelievable, aren't they? Yeah? They are. And 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a permanent state 28 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: of development for this office. I I didn't think i'd 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: be working at this late age of myself, but I 30 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: guess I'm never going to get a chance to retire. 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: There's no need to correct keeps us young, doesn't it. 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: I have to get your reaction to this wacko in 33 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: New York that took a playbook called Devices and ram 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: through and killed the eight people tragically injuring others. What's 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: going on here? Well, there was a book put out 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: after nine eleven, and I still don't believe the author 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: has revealed his name publicly, so I'm not at liberty 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: to name him. He just signed the book anonymous. If 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm wrong about that, you know, something might track it down. 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: But he wrote a book through our enemies eyes. And 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: he spent twenty years of his life in counter terrorism, 42 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: and so did Paul Plevar. He wrote a book as well. 43 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: And these two authors have not received anywhere near the 44 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: attention they should have, because there's no question that we're 45 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: not going to get rid of terrorism. We're not going 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: to get rid of anything that's happening like what happened 47 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: in New York or or nine eleven. There will be 48 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: other attacks, if not that large, or maybe larger, because 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: we're not changing our foreign policy. These people that are 50 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: doing the things they're doing, yes, you have to be 51 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: crazy in a sense to do what he's done. The 52 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: gentleman in New York, the pilots and the people that 53 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: flew the planes into the towers. Of course, they had 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of a screw loose, but that doesn't 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: mean that their behavior is irrational or incomprehensible. The fact 56 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: of the matter is it's an outgrowth of our own 57 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: foreign policy. And this week alone, our foreign policy was 58 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: just dictated to the Trump administration. And I believe you've 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: seen a copy of my book, George, and on the 60 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: back of it, when I first published it, I put 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: a map of the Middle East with Iran right in 62 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: the center, and I show all the proposed pipelines, existing pipelines, 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: sources of oil, and and it was it was gleaned 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: from a study that was done during the Clinton administration, 65 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: and all the players behind it, not just Congressman, the Senators, 66 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: but the people that were lawyers, law firms, James A. Baker, 67 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: the Third Kissing Juror Johnson, New New Condoles, a Rice, 68 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: everybody was involved in the hearings called the Silk World strategy. 69 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: That was the strategy to encircle Iran by taking out 70 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: countries like Afghanistan, Iraq systematically, all of those countries all 71 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: the way to Syria. There were seven countries named in 72 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: the report. And they simply started doing it immediately upon 73 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: the collapse of the Soviet Union because they no longer 74 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: supported those countries in those regions. So we went in 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: decided regime change was going to be the target for 76 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: the next generation, and it isn't something that they're gonna 77 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: ask approval on and going into it. When you look 78 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: at that study and you realize that ben Laden didn't 79 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: do nine eleven, it's it's pretty clear thought Arabia did. 80 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: But almost regardless of the source of some of these things. 81 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: The ultimate source is that the United States is viewed. 82 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: You and I are viewed as backing an empire, and 83 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: no CHOMPI keeps calling you an American empire. So the 84 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: world thinks that you and I approve of this empire 85 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: that's been going on now for for forty years. We're 86 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: killing The collateral damage has already been estimated. We've killed 87 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: over a million women and children from Afghanistan to Syria, 88 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: to Libya to the Sudan. We're occupying every country in 89 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: Africa and North Africa. African was created for the sole purpose, 90 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: according to the General was edited. First, we're after raw 91 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: materials and we're gonna go in. We're gonna get him, 92 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: and that means we have to designate an enemy of 93 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: that country state so we can regime change that country 94 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: into cooperation with US and Western corporations. The problem is 95 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: this is not a new study. But you know, Donald 96 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Trump now is being said donald Trump has a plan 97 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: for for Iran in the Middle East. Well, donald Trump 98 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: has no plan whatsoever. Okay, the Carnegie Coman and another 99 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: thing tank got together an outline the same plan that 100 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: they put in place thirty years ago to complete the 101 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: process in the Middle East, where U S soldiers will 102 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: never leave. There's no exit strategy. We will never leave 103 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: the Iraq, Afghanistan. And after discovering three trillion dollars worth 104 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: of raw materials not being exploited in Afghanistan, I assure 105 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: that this regime that we call an empire, this corporate regime, 106 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: isn't about that stop. So more people will die, more 107 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: women in children, and that will create more terrorists and 108 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: more people willing to come over here and kill Americans 109 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: for no reason whatsoever. Because here's the big lie, the 110 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: biggest lie of all, is that it's an American empire 111 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: that you and I endorse. You know, we love this country, 112 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: crank you do. I do. But there are so many 113 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: things that have gone on over the years under the 114 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: table that if the American public even had a glimpse 115 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: of what has been happening, they would freak out totally. 116 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: You know what's been going on. You've been trying to 117 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: tell everybody. Well, I gotta tell you, you you know, because 118 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a fundamentalist. I think fundamentalism in 119 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: any form is a part of the problem with human beings, 120 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: and it always has been because there's not room for 121 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: a compromise and dialogue. You know, you get burned at 122 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: the stake and your head cut off when when you're fundamentalists. 123 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: But that's not what's going on here. We're being viewed 124 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: by the world through a lens that is inaccurate, and 125 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The progressive left in America, including Gnome Chompsky, 126 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: is the most guilty party, has done the most to 127 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: tell the world that this is an American empire, that 128 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: you and me and our children, we all agree to 129 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: it and we have no relationship to it. And I've 130 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: tried to say on your show as many different ways 131 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: as I can. If it was an American empire like 132 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: the Roman Empire, the Roman people benefited from it. They 133 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: got richer, more powerful, and their ideas, their philosophies spread 134 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: throughout the world. But this is an atheistic kind of 135 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: empire called a corporate regime. Corporatism is its ideology. Is 136 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: it too late to slow down? Is it too late 137 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: to stop? Oh no, it can't be stopped. I don't 138 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: think so either. But but I think what the American 139 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: people have in their hands is the ability to get 140 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: set up enough, which I think did begin to happen. 141 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: A lot of people went to Donald Trump and Hillary 142 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: and voted for them because they actually believed wrongly that 143 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: those two people might try to change things and and 144 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: for the better. And of course that was completely untrue, 145 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: and Rossbaro failed to be one as well. That doesn't 146 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: mean that I would rule that out in the future, 147 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: that there can't be. In fact, I can tell you 148 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: right now the elite only fear is a genuine charismatic 149 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: leader that would unify the left, the right, the black, 150 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: the white, everybody in this country with the purpose of 151 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: ending this monopoly corporate regime that's destroying this country, but 152 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: seizing control of every small country throughout the world through 153 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: military force. Why don't these other countries, specifically Russia and 154 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: China finally put their foot down and say enough is enough. 155 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: I think I think that is what Putin is doing. 156 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: What happened in Ukraine, what happened in Carimea, what happened 157 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: in the Black Sea, and what's going on in Syria. 158 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: That is Putin, and I predicted he would do this. 159 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: If you get too close to Putin and Russia building 160 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: this global regime beginning with um not nine eleven, but 161 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: the first Gulf War. That was the begin thing of it. 162 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: And I said, fine, you know you want to go 163 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: and take out Iraq, Fine, you know Saudi Arabia is 164 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: going to help you do that. The Israelis are gonna 165 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: love you. But eventually you're going to get too close 166 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: to Russia, China, India, Pakistan and these countries will draw 167 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: the line.
