Matt Gates 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: really seemed like the kind of guy you used to 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: make your sketchy Secret Police and Cash Pattel as, I 29 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: guess you're backup to that. 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: Guy totally, yeah, or at least, like I don't know. 31 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: Cash is different in a few ways, Like he does 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: a lot more kind of dirty work because he's not 33 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: like important as a person. He just wants to be 34 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: seen by Daddy Trump. And this episode we're going to 35 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: get into a little bit of Cash's backstory, what his 36 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: plans are for the FBI as he is now nominated 37 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: for the position of being director of the FBI, as 38 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: well as kind of what Cash has been up to 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: in the four years since Trump's been out of office. 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: So let's just start all the way back to the 41 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: beginning for background on mister Patel here. Okay, So, Cash 42 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: Pttel was born in New York, but after graduating law 43 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: school in two thousand and five, he worked as a 44 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: public defender in Florida for nine years before becoming a 45 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 3: federal prosecutor in the National Security Division of the DOJ. 46 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: He didn't really want to be a public defender. It's 47 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: that he really couldn't get any other jobs because he 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: wasn't like that's skilled. So he ended up just working 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: as a public defender, even though it wasn't really what 50 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 3: he wanted to do out of law. But once he 51 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: got to the DOJ, he worked as a terrorism prosecutor. 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: According to a DoD profile, Patel quote led investigations spanning 53 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: multiple theaters of conflict and oversaw the successful prosecution of 54 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: criminals aligned with al Qaeda, ISIS and other terroot groups unquote. 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: Patel also worked with quote counter terrorism units to conduct 56 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: collaborative global targeting operations against high value terrorism targets unquote. 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, I'm sure he was good at that job. 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure he didn't have any really embarrassing failures during 59 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: that period of time. 60 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: No. No, I say that just for kind of his 61 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: like more like surveillance background. But we will certainly get 62 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: to his ability to complete these jobs on a reliable 63 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: basis and like. Although that info is directly from the 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: DoD's website, Patel himself has exaggerated his career record claiming 65 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: in a YouTube podcast to have been the quote unquote 66 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 3: lead prosecutor in the case against the twenty twelve Benghazi attackers. 67 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: Patel actually was not even part of the trial team, 68 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: was only a junior staff member at the DOJ at 69 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: the time, and he was removed from this case for 70 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: clashing with the US Attorney's office. But this incident kind 71 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: of marks the start of a few unfortunate events in 72 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: his career that really started to kind of turn Patel 73 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 3: against the justice system. According to The New York Times, 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen, Patel was thrown out of a court 75 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 3: room for wearing quote, rumpled cash keys, boat shoes and 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: a too small borrowed jacket unquote. 77 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: I hate that he's got on my cousin Vinnie in 78 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: his record, because that movie is great and it gets 79 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: me on his side in a way I definitely shouldn't be. 80 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: Did he Did he come in next wearing like a 81 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: funeral director's tuxedo or a fucking band leader's tuxedo or whatever. 82 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: I don't know how to describe the tuxedo Viny wares 83 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: in the scene after that, anyway. 84 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: No, he was just kicked out of the courtroom with 85 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: the judge saying, quote, if you want to be a lawyer, 86 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: dressed like a lawyer unquote. Now this judge was also 87 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: like a racist asshole. Not defending the judge here. 88 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: And to be clear, cash Betel was not dating Marisitome. 89 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: He could never pull Marsitome. 90 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: He could never pull I mean, honestly joke, who can 91 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: That's yeah. 92 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: But this incident is like an important part of his 93 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: career trajectory. A profile in The Atlantic details Pattel as 94 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: growing increasingly frustrated and disillusioned by his failure to navigate 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: and rise up in the justice system, just collecting more 96 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 3: and more personal grievances that fuel and animosity towards the 97 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: bureaucracy of the legal system, based on people's apparent unwillingness 98 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: to help him excel in his own career. But in 99 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, Patel got his really first like big break, 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: with Republican Representative Devin and Nunez hiring Patel to be 101 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 3: the House Intelligence Committee's lead investigator to disrupt the Special 102 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: Council investigation into Russian interference in the twenty sixteen election. 103 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: Trump was impressed enough with Patetel's work under Nunez that 104 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 3: He gave Patel a job on the National Security Council 105 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 3: and later served as chief of staff to Acting Secretary 106 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 3: of Defense Christopher Miller. Trump mused about having Patel as 107 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 3: deputy director of the FBI or director of the CIA 108 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 3: in late twenty twenty after the election, but this led 109 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: to harsh resistance from within his own administration, with ag 110 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 3: Bill Barr saying that Patel would only become FBI director 111 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: over my dead body, unquote. So I don't know if we'll 112 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: have any updates on that, yeah, say. But instead, back 113 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, Trump just put Patel on the Pentagon 114 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: transition team. Trump basically tasked Patel was doing dirty work 115 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 3: and awarded him with promotions for following orders. Patel advised 116 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: on the Ukraine impeachment, spread conspiracy theories that Ukraine, not Russia, 117 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 3: meddled in the twenty sixteen election, created a list of 118 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: intelligence agency officials to fire in February of twenty twenty, 119 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 3: and helped manage the now dismissed a classified document's case 120 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: against Trump. The former deputy National advisor to Trump, Charles Kopperman, 121 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 3: said in an interview quote Trump wanted to make cash 122 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: a political executioner to root out and fire individuals on 123 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: the White House staff who weren't being as loyal as 124 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: he thought they should be unquote. So that's kind of 125 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: a good look at him as a person. And like 126 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: what Cash is the rule is like specifically for Trump 127 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 3: and with the possibility of the justice system becoming just 128 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 3: more and more of like a tool to target Trump's 129 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: political rivals, Cash is the exact guy that you would pick, 130 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: especially for a job that has like an investigative focus 131 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: like the FBI. But Cash isn't always good at his 132 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: job necessarily. 133 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: Wow, who amongst us? 134 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about one specific incident here that's one 135 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: of like the wildest stories in like national security that 136 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: I've ever read. In October of twenty twenty four, days 137 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: before the election, the Pentagon was planning in Operation for 138 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: Sale Team six to rescue an American citizen, Philip Walton, 139 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: who was kidnapped in Niger and being held in Nigeria. 140 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: As the State Department was working to communicate with officials 141 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: in Nigeria to clear airspace for the operation. Patel, who 142 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 3: was not part of this operation, just called the Pentagon 143 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: saying that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had gotten approval 144 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: from Nigeria and the airspace was deconflicted, so as the 145 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: Seals were about to land in Nigeria, defense officials couldn't 146 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: verify that the flight actually had clearance, leaving the aircraft 147 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 3: to circle over the target for hours as they scrambled 148 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: to get approval from Nigeria. According to former Defense Secretary 149 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: Mark Esper, Patel was never in communication with Mike Pompeo 150 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: about this mission, and Defense officials concluded that Patel quote 151 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: made the approval story up. Unquote. Cool guy, this is wild. 152 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: You almost caught Sealed Team six like shot out of 153 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: the air because you made up a story about having 154 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: flight clearance. It's like, it's crazy. 155 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is exactly the guy you want 156 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: running the FBI, for sure. 157 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 3: A Pentagon official yelled at Cash, quote, you could have 158 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: gotten those guys killed. What the fuck were you thinking, 159 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: to which Cash replied, if nobody got hurt, who the 160 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: fuck cares? 161 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: Amazing stuff, amazing stuff, Let him cook crazy stuff. Look 162 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: here's the thing, Garrison. If it had gone the worst 163 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: possible way it could have gone, we'd have been saved 164 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: at least four interminable books and at least three podcasts. 165 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 3: So like people like interviewed in the Atlantic, and I 166 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 3: think the author of the profile on Cash kind of 167 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 3: muses that, like maybe Cash just wanted this operation done 168 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: before the election to give Trump like an extra win 169 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: leading up to the polls.

Now, since twenty twenty, Cash Patel has served 344 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 3: on the board of directors for the parent company of 345 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: Truth Social called Trump Media Technology Group, so he's been 346 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: part of the team operating you know, Trump's version of Twitter, 347 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: and back in twenty twenty two, Patel was openly talking 348 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 3: about how, like the truth Social staff, we're trying to 349 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 3: quote unquote incorporate to QAnon into our overall messaging scheme 350 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 3: to capture audiences. So this is this, this is the 351 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 3: section where we're going to really get into Patel's super 352 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 3: super heavy q ties, which is kind of like a throwback. Right. 353 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 3: We don't really talk about QAnon as much anymore, And 354 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 3: I don't think Patel's interest in this is genuine. I 355 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 3: think it is just to like grow both his own 356 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: brand and help boost the stock of truth Social. It's 357 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 3: still like the closest that anyone in Trump's has gotten 358 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: to like openly endorsing q and on and like repeatedly 359 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 3: True Social staff operate an account at q forms to 360 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 3: piggyback off of q Andon's popularity and draw in popular 361 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 3: Q and on influencers.

It's been a while since I've listened to 370 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 3: these types of shows, and it was it was like 371 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 3: a huge throwback, ah man, and they're like all chugging 372 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 3: along and now they're like tugging along better than ever, 373 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: which is, you know, not ideal for me. On these shows. 374 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 3: Cash has praised the Q and on fandom researchers, saying 375 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: both he and the President have been impressed. It's all 376 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 3: like very pandering, but it really works for these people I've. 377 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 4: Seen on social media, on Trump, on truth social How 378 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 4: could these researchers are?

He openly said that's like why he'd 391 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: like posts these documents. 392 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: You see again, I'm sympathetic. Everything I do is for content, Garrison. 393 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: That's just that's just the way the world works now. 394 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: The content must flow. 395 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: You know. 396 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 3: Patel also has books just like you. Although he's been 397 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 3: signing copies of his with the q andon phrase where 398 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 3: we go one we go all? 399 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: I mean, I do that too, and he. 400 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 3: Has defended his use of the slogan on these q 401 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: andon podcasts, like in this clip from the Matrix xx 402 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 3: Groove show where. 403 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 5: We go on. 404 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 4: Where we Go All is, as you said, from a 405 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 4: great movie that I watched a long time ago, and 406 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: people took to it, and so what you know, it 407 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 4: doesn't mean everyone's a conspiracy theorist. And people keep asking 408 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 4: me about all this cue stuff. I'm like, what does 409 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 4: it matter. What I'm telling you is that there is 410 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 4: truth in a lot of things that many people say, 411 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 4: and what I'm putting out there is the truth. And 412 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 4: how about we have some fun along the way. There's 413 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 4: so many people who subscribe to the where we go on, 414 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: we go on all mantra, and it's what's wrong with it? 415 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to quote now from an article in Media 416 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 3: Matters by Alex Kaplan, who's been reporting on Patel and 417 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 3: his ties to q Andon since twenty twenty two. Quote 418 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 3: on yet another show in June twenty twenty two, Patel 419 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: went even further, saying of q and on quote, we 420 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 3: try to incorporate it to our overall messaging scheme to 421 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: capture audiences, because whoever that person is has certainly captured 422 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: a widespread breadth of the Mega and America First movement. 423 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 3: And so what I try to do, is what I 424 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 3: try to do with anything Q or otherwise, is you 425 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: can't ignore that group of people that has such a 426 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: strong dominant following unquote. In that interview, Pattel also said 427 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 3: of qan on, there's a lot of good to a 428 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: lot of it, and he agreed with the co host 429 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 3: who said Q has been so right on so many things, saying, quote, 430 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 3: I agree with you. He shall get credit for all 431 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 3: the things he has accomplished, because it's hard to establish 432 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: a movement. Let's call it that, because that's what it is. Unquote. 433 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 3: Oh boy, do you know what's also hard to establish? 434 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: Robert uh an alibi? 435 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: An alibi? And you know, some people's alibis could be 436 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 3: reading ads like the one that we're about to do 437 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 3: right now. 438 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: That's right, that's always my alibi. 439 00:22:51,760 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 3: That really is always your raplify. Yeah, all right, we 440 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 3: are back now. In these podcast guest appearances, he would 441 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 3: often plug his book and advocate that listeners just join 442 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: truth social and engagement with these more niche online streaming 443 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: shows and podcasts fortifies the right wing online media ecosystem 444 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 3: and draws people away from mainstream news like this is 445 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 3: why he was going on those shows so much back 446 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, and Patel basically says as much 447 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 3: on this episode of the X twenty two Report. 448 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,239 Speaker 4: They will never trust the fake news media again. And 449 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: for us, that's always been the championing cause to get 450 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 4: our people and mainstream America listening to your show rather 451 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 4: than CNN and reading the New York Post or excuse me, 452 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: the New York Times and the Washington Post. 453 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: And I think part of why he's doing this, and 454 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 3: whether he was told to do it or whether he 455 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: just did it on his own volition, is that like 456 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 3: having someone who's seen as being close to Trump, especially 457 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 3: with national security experience, it helps keep Trump supporter is 458 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 3: politically engaged by making them feel like they are getting 459 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: special access to like exclusive information. It's all a part 460 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 3: of keeping the mega movement alive when their site is 461 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 3: not in power, while also building up a ground base 462 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: of support in preparation for them to take power back. 463 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 3: And that's what he did like a lot in twenty 464 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 3: twenty two. Most of those podcasts were leading up to 465 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 3: the midterms as well, so it is part of this 466 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 3: general political strategy to engage with these like much more 467 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 3: niche kind of smaller QAnon shows, which not only does 468 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: like you know, grow their audience over time as well, 469 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: it does help their audience grow. It also just establishes 470 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 3: like a completely siloed media ecosystem away from mainstream news. 471 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 2: Like that. 472 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 3: That is part of what they're doing, right, That's why 473 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 3: Trump made truth Social is to create more of these 474 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: reality tunnels, more of these like information silos. Now, Patel 475 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: kept busy in between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four 476 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 3: with a variety of kind of grifty ventures.

So you know you're still supporting Americans, 508 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 3: just South Americans. Oh my god. Now this foundation is 509 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: also funded defamation lawsuits for a stop to steal activist 510 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 3: and his friend and former boss at National Intelligence. But 511 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 3: Patel's grifting does go beyond his foundation, just Earlier this year, 512 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: Patel was hawking anti vaccine supplement pills from the company 513 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 3: Warrior Essentials Wow, specifically the pills that claim to reverse 514 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 3: the effects of the COVID nineteen vaccine. I love that. 515 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 3: What if these pills just give you covid.

You know, if we could convin well, 519 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: that's say, if we could convince Joe Rogan COVID's a 520 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 2: performance enhancer. I don't think we could get Joe Rogan's 521 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: fans to spread any more disease than they already do. Yeah, 522 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: that's impossible. 523 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: So this product that Patel was selling is called no COVIDME, 524 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 3: and it's allegedly formulated to quote destroy the toxic spike 525 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 3: unquote caused by the mRNA vaccine. 526 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: Now we should have called the COVID vaccines no covid 527 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: it's a good name. That was just leaving money on 528 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: the table. Or Novid No it's good. Novid would have 529 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: been a great NOE it's good. 530 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, one's good. 531 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. 532 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 3: I According to journalist James Little, these no covidum.

They're really pushing the subscription because you 540 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: gotta keep doing more pills every thirty days in order 541 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 3: to really keep the vacs suppressed. In a post this 542 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 3: past February on True Social Patel truth Spike the vacs 543 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 3: order this home run kit to ridge your body of 544 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 3: the harms of the vacs. 545 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: Unquote, my god, I just. 546 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: Can't believe that a guy like this could be FBI director. 547 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: It's just it. It makes me. 548 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 2: It's it's I mean, it probably will wind up being 549 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: much more dangerous. But there is a version of this 550 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 2: where the FBI just pivots to selling supplements right like 551 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: where you get where you get your estrogen and testosterone 552 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 2: through the MBI. Look, as long as it's market it 553 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: is like a performance enhancement. 554 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 3: I would love to believe that a guy like this 555 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 3: will lead to just general and competence. But I just 556 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: can't let myself believe that, Like I think it's just 557 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: going to become more and more targeted against like people 558 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: who are good. 559 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to start, yeah with them. I mean 560 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 2: it looks like just based on his enemy lists, they're 561 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 2: going to start with Biden administration officials and people in 562 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: the government. But like it won't end there. It's going 563 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 2: to depend on what happens, Like it'll be a reactive, 564 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: violent organization, which to a degree it always has been, 565 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: but there's always been like more of a sense of 566 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 2: like predictability that will not be present well. 567 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 3: And specifically, Like you know, Patel has also been a 568 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: recurring Gray Zone guest and is pretty close with that 569 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 3: whole crew. That's you know, not great for certain people, 570 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 3: but he really is the gift that keeps on giving 571 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 3: in terms of like odd anecdotes, including his trilogy of books, 572 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: which will be kind of the last thing I talk 573 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 3: about here. So over the course of the past three years, 574 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: Patel has written and published a children's book trilogy titled 575 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 3: The Plot Against the King, where Patel himself appears as 576 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 3: a wizard to defend King Donald from enemy plots. 577 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 2: Oh God, the one thing we all used to be 578 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 2: able to agree on is that we don't like kings. 579 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 3: Here no, but now we have the FBI director who 580 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: fancies himself the wizard to protect the king. I am 581 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 3: going to read the description from the first book here 582 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 3: quote a fantastical retelling of the terrible true story. Hillary 583 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 3: Queenton and her shifty Night had spread lies that King 584 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 3: Donald had cheated to become king. They claimed he was 585 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 3: working with the Russians. But how could that be Russians? 586 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 3: Russian Onians. It's it's bad, okay, r U S S 587 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 3: I O N I A N S. 588 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 2: This is the kind of thing the FBI should be 589 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 2: cracking down on. That's all. That's all I'll say about that. 590 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: Cash the distinguished discoverer joined him as he uncovers the 591 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 3: plot against the king and who was really behind all 592 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 3: the lies unquote. Now Patel referred to this as quote 593 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 3: the first ever children's Russia gate book unquote, which I 594 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 3: gotta give him to him. That's probably true. 595 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: That's almost said, well no, because okay, you know what, 596 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: I don't think it is, but it came from the 597 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: opposite side. Do you remember when the fucking Crassenstein Brothers 598 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 2: put out that children's book about Robert Muller. 599 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 3: No, yeah, you're right.
