1 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: It appears to be the head of the snake for 2 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: this shadow government that certainly does exist in Washington, d C. 3 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: Twenty eight billion dollars a year at least is the 4 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: budget for us AID. It is maybe the slush fund 5 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: for pet projects or political cronies posing as consultants and contractors. 6 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: They feed the money there. It is a scheme that 7 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: I do believe, like President Trump filters back to many 8 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: of these politicians, the old guard, the uniparty, are they 9 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: line their pockets with kickbacks? 10 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: Here's President Trump kick it back. Who would spend that 11 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: kind of money to some of the things. 12 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 3: That you read about and I read about, and I 13 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 3: see every night of the news and every morning when 14 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: I read the papers. 15 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 4: Who would spend money for them? 16 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: I would say this, the people that get all that money, 17 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 3: are they kicking it back to the people that gave. 18 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 4: It from government? Now that's to me, very very corrupt. 19 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: It's about as corrupt as it gets. So here's my question. 20 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: We know that USAID over the years apparently gave twenty 21 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: seven million dollars to a group called Fair and Just Prosecution. 22 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: This is the same group that George Soros has given 23 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to what is the goal of fair 24 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: and just prosecution. From the research that I'm seeing, it 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: appears to be funding Soro style radical prosecutors, which means 26 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: USAID as a slush fund for the CIA, was funding 27 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: what the prosecution of President Trump and many of these 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: cities like New York, Atlanta, and even in Arizona. So 29 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: all of this is bad news, about as bad as 30 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: it gets, and now those on the left are freaking 31 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: out that it has been exposed. 32 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,559 Speaker 5: We have convened here in the right place, the Treasury Department. 33 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 5: We have got to tell Elon Musk, nobody elected your 34 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 5: ass Nobody talk to you can get all of our 35 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 5: private information, nobody, don't you You could be in charge 36 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 5: of the payments of this country. 37 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: Yes, the President of the United States told Elon Musk 38 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: that he could go in there and root out waste, fraud, 39 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: abuse and corruption. 40 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: And so Maxine Waters, there. 41 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: Is streaming and yelling about platitudes when the American people 42 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: are seeing we're spending money on things we shouldn't be 43 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: spending money on. So Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, 44 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: has taken over USAID. He said, sixty people higher ups 45 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: in there stay home, don't come in. They have paused 46 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: spending for USAID. Here's Mark Rubio. 47 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 6: Well, that was always the goal was to reform it. 48 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 6: But now we have rank and subordination. Now we have 49 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 6: basically an active effort. Their basic attitude is we don't 50 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 6: work for anyone. We work for ourselves. No agency of 51 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 6: government can tell us what to do. So the President 52 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 6: made me the acting administrator. I've delegated that power to 53 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 6: someone who's there full time, and we're going to go 54 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 6: through the same process at USAID as we're going through 55 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 6: now at the State Department. 56 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: You know, in many respects, it's amazing that USAID has 57 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: flown under the radar for decades. This organization has operated 58 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: funding the globalist agenda, funding the pet projects of the 59 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: radical left, designed to take away American sovereignty, designed to 60 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: chip away at the fundamentals this country was built on, 61 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: all the while lining the pockets politicians in DC. And 62 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: I think if you wait long enough for the investigations 63 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: one fold, you'll see that's true. Now we talk about 64 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: the idea of a shadow government, people out there will say, 65 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: come on, Grant, that can't be right. We are watching 66 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: in real time the shadow government be exposed General Mike 67 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: Flynn on the front lines of exposing that deep state 68 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: shadow government. Answered my question this way on this program 69 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: this week. 70 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: Is it a shadow government or am I crazy to 71 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: call it that? 72 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 7: No, it's a shadow government. 73 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 8: It's a you know, I say that the intel community 74 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 8: is like the fourth branch of government because they they're 75 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 8: totally out there on their own. There's something that Donald 76 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 8: Trump is gonna have to deal with. 77 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: But it is. 78 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 8: It's a shadow government, it's a deep state. These are 79 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 8: people that are outside, that are still in the in 80 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 8: the swamp of Washington, d c. That you know that 81 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 8: they will lose a lot if they get caught. 82 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 4: Believe me. 83 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: So when you think about getting caught, it's not just 84 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: Eli Musk and President Trump's cabinet secretaries have been tasked 85 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: with auditing many of these agencies, not just USAID, but 86 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: conservative investigators on their own have been rooting this out. 87 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: Natalie Winters is one of them. 88 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: She's done such a great job for Steve Bannon over 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: a war room I was watching the other morning she 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: uncovered this Democracy twenty twenty five plot where the Brookings 91 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: Institute has one hundred and seventy page paper on how 92 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats can push back. Remember we had Project twenty 93 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: twenty five. They have their so called Democracy twenty twenty 94 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: five playbook, this from the left wing Brookings Institute, and 95 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: it was about using a USAID. 96 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: Listen to her spell it. 97 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 9: Out, Democracy Forward, which was sort of the apparatus, the 98 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 9: compendium of all of these resistance groups, you know, one 99 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 9: hundred and twenty plus organizations. The one outfit that they 100 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 9: set up prior to President Trump being sworn in was 101 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 9: something called Civil Service Strong and it was the idea 102 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 9: that they were going to provide legal aid and resources 103 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 9: to whistleblowers, sort of I think a shadow impeachment. Right, 104 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 9: they can't impeach President Trump right now, but they're laying 105 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 9: the groundwork, or they're trying to sort of do it indirectly. 106 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 10: They want to build the case and have the resistance off. 107 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 9: That and USAID was the lynchpin on all of that. 108 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: What she's saying is USAID the plan by the Democrats, CIA, 109 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: the intelligence apparatus that is running this whole scheme, was 110 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: to fund the impeachment of President Trump. Now, you wonder 111 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: how this wasn't exposed earlier, and it most certainly should 112 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: have been now when you get down to what they're 113 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: spending money on. Most certainly there's got to be kickbacks, 114 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: because why in the world would you need to spend 115 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars for a group related to a key 116 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,119 Speaker 1: player in the Russia Gate impeachment hoax. 117 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: Twenty million dollars ten million. 118 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: Dollars worth of USAID funded meals to Al Qaeda linked 119 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: terrorist groups eating terrorists. Now three million dollars to Eco 120 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: Health Alliance, the key non governmental organization funding the bat 121 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: virus research, gain a function research in the Wuhan Lab. 122 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: What else was USAID funding? I mean, this list is 123 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: very long. These are only the things we picked out 124 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: for you. Twenty million dollars for a new sesame street 125 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: show in a rock, seven point nine million to teach 126 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: Sri Lankan journalists how to avoid binary gendered language, whatever 127 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: the crap. That means, six million to transform digital spaces 128 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: to reflect feminist democratic principles. All of it is a 129 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: giant waste of money, folks. 130 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: So when you look at this. 131 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: And now you see this story that comes out that Politico, 132 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: the left wing radical rag Politico that started out independent, 133 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: moved very far left, that launched the Hunter Biden laptop story, 134 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: saying that it was a Russian collusion. 135 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 2: And not real. 136 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: All the while politicals getting eight million dollars from USAID 137 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars a year for subscriptions for thirty 138 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: seven employees, some of the FDA eight million dollars. Political 139 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: never never expose that. Well, this is a scandal beyond scandals. 140 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: When it comes to the press. Our own Brian Glenn, 141 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: white House correspondent for RAV asked Caroline Levitt about it. 142 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 8: Now it looks live there a couple media outlets that 143 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 8: have been dragged into this conversation as far as the USAID, Well, 144 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 8: does the president have any. 145 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: Comment on that? 146 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 11: So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I 147 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 11: was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets, 148 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 11: including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room. 149 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 11: And I can confirm that the more than eight million 150 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 11: taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico, 151 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 11: the American taxpayer's dying will no longer be happening.

This was forty years ago they were 178 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 10: doing this, But at least in the eighties, they were 179 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 10: still an instrument of US foreign policy. They were not 180 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 10: a state within a state. They were not an operational 181 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 10: intelligence organization against the American public. They were not, you know, 182 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 10: nothing like it is today. But there has never been 183 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 10: a single case of solid congressional oversight of USAID spending 184 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 10: since it was founded in nineteen sixty one. 185 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: When do you think it made the switch? When do 186 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: you think it started to transform into what amounts to 187 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: what looks like a slush fund for the globalist agenda. 188 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 10: This was a very clear break in the nineteen nineties 189 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 10: because USAID was founded to wage the Cold War with 190 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 10: soft power, and it was a very useful instrument that 191 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 10: worked with every element of US power, including the CIA. 192 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 10: But it wasn't a CIA front. That was a clear 193 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 10: distinction under the law, under federal law. So if it 194 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 10: ended up becoming a CIA front, it's a flagrant violation 195 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 10: of federal law and there's a lot of criminals out 196 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 10: there who would be responsible for it. It really became 197 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 10: a slush fund, sort of a ripoff operation in the 198 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 10: nineteen nineties during the Clinton administration, right after the Cold War, 199 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 10: when the administration said flat out to members of Congress, 200 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 10: foreign ad should really be we should all be getting 201 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 10: rich off foreign eight. It should be part of American business, 202 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 10: and we can find ways to send money back to 203 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 10: your districts. So if you look at the oversight committees 204 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 10: and the senators most interested in protesting at AID. You 205 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 10: saw the other day right in front of there, you 206 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 10: saw Senator Chris van Holland of Maryland, and you saw 207 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 10: a Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland. They are home. They 208 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 10: represent many of these huge USAID contractors. 209 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: And we know that there are contract contractors an easy 210 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: way actually to money launder. It happens in the construction 211 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: business all the time. We don't have any evidence yet 212 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: of kick bats. President Trump raised the possibility. I certainly 213 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: think there is the possibility. You saw Maxine Waters just 214 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,479 Speaker 1: a little earlier. This is a woman from Inglewood, California, 215 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: Los Angeles area. She makes one undred and seventy five 216 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. She's got a net worth of 217 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: five point three million dollars and lives in a four 218 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: and a half million dollar house, even with the five 219 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: and a half million dollar net worth. If the money 220 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: doesn't add up here, do you think that politicians could 221 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: be getting kickbacks from these contractors and USAID is being 222 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: used to fund this uni party. 223 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 10: Well, it wouldn't be unprecedented at all, would it. But 224 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 10: there's something even bigger than kickbacks, because this is a 225 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 10: power game. This is where members of Congress appropriate money 226 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 10: without looking turning away at how it's spent, knowing that 227 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 10: it's going to be spent on funding their own staffers 228 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 10: who go on into the bureaucracy and use them as 229 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 10: a holding pattern on the federal dime until they can 230 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 10: reach higher positions in other parts of government. It's a 231 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 10: way to provide favors to people to hire them. It's 232 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 10: a way to inject an agenda into our foreign policy 233 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 10: that's not controlled by the Secretary of State or the president, 234 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 10: to have as basically a social rebel around the world. 235 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 10: It's too enrich campaign donors through the law, because you 236 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 10: make them rich and then they give you money and 237 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 10: it's legally not a kickback. 238 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: Can we survive by shutting this agency down? From me? 239 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: I look at all the spending I see speaker Johnson said, 240 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: we had expenditures one hundred million dollars for atheism in Nepal, 241 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: tranning operations in Columbia, and drag shows in Ecuador. I 242 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: would think we could survive without this agency. 243 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 10: Sure, it's tearing apart traditional societies around the world, and 244 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 10: it's pitting people against one another and causing more people 245 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 10: in those countries to hate us. We can certainly survive. 246 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 10: And if we want to do humanitarian aid, we can 247 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 10: do it if it's straight humanitarian. And there's certainly no 248 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 10: shortage of private funds for this. 249 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: No including that from people like Bill Gates who said 250 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: he funds the same organizations that USAID funds, which should 251 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: tell you all you need to know about the organization's 252 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: USAID is funding. 253 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: Doctor J. 254 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: Michael Waller, I appreciate you coming on this program. Fascinating, 255 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, good to see you. 256 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 2: Good to see you as well. 257 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: All right, folks, there's another scandal brewing, right and that 258 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: is what was going on inside the FBI that allowed 259 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: this government to persecute and prosecute so many of these 260 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: Jay six ers, if not all of them. 261 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: Thankfully President Trump has pardoned them to the point that 262 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 2: we had out. 263 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: Of line FBI agents, There's no doubt about it. Now, 264 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: do I think some of them were forced into this? 265 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: Yes? 266 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: Do I think all of them are guilty of persecution 267 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: the FBI agents, No, But I think a large portion 268 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: of them are. 269 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: Well. 270 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: The Department of Justice wants names. They want names of 271 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: who was involved in these investigations so we can investigate 272 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: who will agree with the Trump agenda of putting America 273 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: first and Americans first and not push back and sabotage. 274 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: The Trump administration. 275 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Well, the FBI doesn't give the names as it was 276 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: tasked to do by yesterday. It gave them employee identification numbers. 277 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: Now you can still figure out the names, but this 278 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: is a way to obstruct. We've talked a lot about 279 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: John Brennan on this program as maybe the leader of 280 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: this shadow state. John Brennan talked about what the FBI 281 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: is doing here. This is cut twenty six. John Brennan, Oh, 282 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: we can't play that, okay. So anyway, John Brennan talked 283 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: about the lawsuits Slow and behold that the FBI is 284 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: filing excuse me, the FBI agents are filing against the 285 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: dj to block their names being released. 286 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: If you're proud of your work. Why do you care whether. 287 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Your names are released or not, because I don't think 288 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: they're proud of it. Well, joining me now former FBI 289 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: agent and whistleblower, he's been key to exposing a lot 290 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: of this. Kyle Sarafin is with us. Kyle is great 291 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: to see you again, and thanks for coming on. 292 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 7: No, it's my pleasure. Thanks for having me on. 293 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: All right, Kyle, you were one of the first that 294 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: I saw this story that they only release employee identification 295 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: numbers going on inside the FBI, you know, leading up 296 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: to cash Betel taking over as director. 297 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 12: Well, you're seeing the culture of resistance and the idea 298 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 12: that they want to They're they're relinquishing over the information, 299 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 12: but they're doing so reluctantly, and then obviously they're filing 300 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 12: lawsuits on there. A couple of interesting things about it. 301 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 12: Number One, not surrendering the names is part and parcel 302 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 12: with being ashamed of the work that was done. 303 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 7: It's bigger than that, actually though. 304 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 12: In the January sixth cases, for the first time that 305 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 12: ever I've ever seen in the FBI. But I have 306 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 12: friends at work cartel cases, you know, people who actually 307 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 12: cut off of the you know agents and sources heads. 308 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 12: If they get a chance to, they're happy to kill 309 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 12: family members. They do all kinds of aggressive violence. Those 310 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 12: names are sworn out on affidavids on criminal complaints in 311 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 12: their name. 312 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 7: They're not redacted. They're given out to the public. 313 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 12: And occasionally we would get these threat evaluations where somebody 314 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 12: would make a legitimate threat out of prison or otherwise, 315 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 12: and they'd say, hey, we got to go and defend 316 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 12: one of our agents. We got to put a security 317 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 12: detail there. We may have to relocate that person. That's 318 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 12: fairly common. I mean, it happens a couple times a 319 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 12: year in various field offices. What we saw in the 320 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 12: JA six prosecutions that every single DOJ employee that I 321 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 12: could see associated with these cases had their names redacted. 322 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 12: They would pull them off so that nobody knew who 323 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 12: they were. And to me, that says everything about it. 324 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 12: You're gonna shield FBI agents' names from grandmothers and military 325 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 12: veterans who were charged with trespassing, but you're not going 326 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 12: to shield agents who were going after guys that cut 327 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 12: off heads and kill family members. 328 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 7: It's absurd. So all of this has been really bad. 329 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 12: And then of course they're represent The person they chose 330 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 12: to represent them is Pamela Keith, and she's a radical 331 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 12: leftist who's asked for the Supreme Court to be arrested. 332 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. 333 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: Tell me about the FBI agents and the overwhelming majority 334 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: of them. 335 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: Is the entire FBI corrupt. 336 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: Are the agents all now moved towards the left where 337 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: they just buy into this soro style agenda or are 338 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: there good agents left? 339 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 7: Well, there's obviously good agents left. 340 00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 12: I just talked to one a few minutes before we 341 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 12: went live, and so I got a phone call and 342 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 12: he was laughing, and he said, man, the talk around 343 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 12: the water cooler is absolutely riveting. Everybody wants to know 344 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 12: is my name on the list? Am I getting fired? 345 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 12: And you know, my buddies that work criminal cases that 346 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 12: are out there locking up bad guys, they're not scared. 347 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 7: They're not worried about this at all. 348 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 12: The stuff they did, they'd be happy to look anybody 349 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 12: in the eye and say what they did. There are 350 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 12: also people that work January six cases that I think 351 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 12: did so with honorable intentions. One of the bread and 352 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 12: butter operations that the FBI does on a daily basis, 353 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 12: they take what are called assault on a federal officer cases. 354 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 12: Their AFOs is what we call them, and they come 355 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 12: in on every single border office and ra resident agencies, 356 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 12: the satellite offices that are around. 357 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 7: They get them from Border Patrol. 358 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 12: And CBP and various other agencies that are doing it, 359 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 12: and the FBI investigates them. 360 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 7: There's no big deal. 361 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 12: And if you fought with a cop on January sixth, 362 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 12: if you punched a cop, it's reasonable to assume that 363 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 12: an FBI agent would investigate you, and that would be 364 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 12: a good faith operation. And I don't think any of 365 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 12: those people have anything to be ashamed of. Now, whether 366 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 12: the prosecution was overbearing is another animal. Whether it's normally dismissed, 367 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 12: which happens all the time, that's another animal. That's a 368 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 12: DOJ question. But the agents in question, they are not 369 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 12: a big deal. The ones that went after the mist 370 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 12: and simply when after the bulk of the j six cases, 371 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 12: they should be very ashamed. And there's a ton of 372 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 12: people who did that. So it's not unilateral, it's not monolithic. 373 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 12: And obviously the management culture there is rotted. It's not 374 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 12: wrong to say that it's rotted all the way down 375 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 12: to the court. They only promote people that want to 376 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 12: be promoted in that culture. 377 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: Well, they've already lost what like six of eight of 378 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: the top leaders of the FBI are stepping down. Who 379 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: would you recommend the cash Betel bring in? Is there 380 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: anybody from inside the agency he should promote? Ouph he 381 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: bring in outsiders? What is your recommendation to him? 382 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 7: So it's got to be promoted inside. That's that's pretty obvious. 383 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 12: If you want to have the credibility of the people 384 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 12: underneath him, they need to do like I've take an 385 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 12: hour glass and flip it upside down. Right now, you 386 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 12: have a bottom heavy group of some decent case agents, 387 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 12: you know, some people that did some things that I 388 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 12: think are either nefarious or dishonorable. 389 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 7: And then you've got a mixed bag of supervisors. 390 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 12: And as you go further up, you get less and 391 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 12: less people that are trustworthy, to the point where if 392 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 12: you get to the senior management, there's nobody there that 393 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 12: should stay there. In most cases, especially the ones that 394 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 12: have been there for a little while, they just don't 395 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 12: belong there. 396 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 7: So you should be out there and canvas. 397 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 12: You should be asking those that are running the field offices, 398 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 12: either temporarily or permanently. Who are your best case agents. 399 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 12: They actually have a thing called statistics. They can do 400 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 12: it by the numbers. They can bring out the most 401 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 12: statistically accomplished agents who have the most arrests, who have 402 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 12: the most sophisticated techniques, who are doing lockups of bad guys. 403 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 12: They can do the same thing on the supervisor level. 404 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 12: They can say, hey, who are your sssays that have 405 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 12: been there the longest, that have the most positive climate surveys, 406 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 12: that are that are people that folks want to work 407 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 12: for and that have like on purpose, stayed in a 408 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 12: supervisory role to get close to the work, and you're 409 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 12: going to have to ask them to step up and 410 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 12: do something to save the bureau. Have the people that 411 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 12: have actually been working cases that understand that are subject 412 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 12: matter experts in their particular fields. Bring those people up 413 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 12: and maybe skip a couple of ranks, and you know, 414 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 12: and skip along that ladder. Because taking people from the 415 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 12: GS fifteen, which is your assistant special Agent in charge 416 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 12: and your SES ranks that kind of deep state, you know, 417 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 12: the senior executive service, those people have all committed to 418 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 12: something that they ought not to be in at this point, 419 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 12: I mean, they've all said yes when they should have 420 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 12: said maybe or no. 421 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: Well, look, if Pete Haigseth can come up, he wouldn't 422 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: a general and be a Secretary of Defense. We could 423 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: bring in a long time federal agent special agent with 424 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: the FBI and put them in a leadership role, and I. 425 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: Think that would be very, very good for morale. 426 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: I also think you got to bring in a mix 427 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: of maybe some outsiders as well, just so there's no 428 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: allegiance there and you get it mixed. 429 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: But it's fascinating. 430 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: It talks to you, Kyle Sarah fin and I appreciate 431 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: all the work you've done to expose what's going on, 432 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: and I think your work in the end will change 433 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: a lot of what's happening in Washington. 434 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 7: Well, I appreciate it's very kind. 435 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: Absolutely, thanks for coming on tonight. We appreciate you. This 436 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: is the story again, will be following. 437 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: And I think Cash Bettel, when he gets in there, 438 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: he will look at these agents individually. 439 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: He's not gonna blanketly say everybody's fired. He's gonna look 440 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 2: at them individually. 441 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: And I think, just like the CIA, you know the CIA, 442 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: everyone got to notice you can take retirement. I think 443 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: the ones that know they're not wanted anymore or have 444 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: a chance that they did some very bad things. They 445 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: will retire, and the swamp is draining itself. As I mentioned, 446 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: twenty thousand federal employees have already taken President Trump's offer 447 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: of retirement. The swamp is draining itself, all right. You've 448 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: heard of AMAK, the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Him hugging the flag, him 475 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: working the window at McDonald's. And I think this is 476 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: an iconic moment as well, President Trump sticking up for 477 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: the women and girls. 478 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 2: Do we have it?

We've had a little technical problems today, folks. 482 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: But bear with me, all right. I want to turn 483 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 2: now to Gaza. 484 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: More common sense for President Trump. We know the people 485 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: of Gaza despise Israel. We know for decades it's not 486 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: working with the people of Gaza enabling and embracing Hamas. 487 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 2: On the southern side of Israel. 488 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: It is constantly Gozins and Hamas breaking the ceasefire. So 489 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: President Trump comes up with a common sense idea. Get 490 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: the people of Gaza out, move them to someplace nice, 491 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: give them a yard, give them some jobs, but get 492 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: them out of Gaza. And then what we got left 493 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: with I don't You can call it Gaza Lago maybe, 494 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: or call it Maragaza. 495 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: I don't care. But it's a start. 496 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 3: We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal. 497 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 3: And I don't want to be cute, I don't want 498 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 3: to be a wise guy. But the riviera of the 499 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 3: Middle East, this could be something that could be so bad. 500 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: This could be so magnificent. But more importantly than that 501 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 3: is the people that have been absolutely destroyed that live 502 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 3: there now can live in peace. 503 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: The people have been destroyed and it is an all 504 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: out hell hole now, so what is the best thing 505 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: to happen? I think in the end, you've got to 506 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: relocate them. So Gozins have been unable to embrace peace. 507 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: We know they hail hamas terrorists as heroes, So why 508 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: in the world would we allow that to continue when 509 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: we know that Israel is a purveyor of peace, that's 510 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: all they want. 511 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 2: Now. Saudi Arabia has pushed back against this. 512 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: So what is the goal of President Trump's idea to 513 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: move gosins, relocate them and build the riviera of the 514 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: Middle East in Gaza? 515 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 2: He has a number of different goals, all right. 516 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: Could he be using this as a simple distraction as 517 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: he overwhelms the media with news and they can't keep up. 518 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: Maybe is it simply a negotiating tool to force the 519 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: Middle East into talks to embrace peace. 520 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 2: Maybe, or maybe. 521 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: He's legit and this is exactly what he wants to do. 522 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 1: Either way, what cannot be denied is that the reality 523 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 1: is the situation isn't working. 524 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? 525 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: You want a two state solution? I ask you, who's 526 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: going to run the second state? Is it going to 527 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: be the Muslim Brotherhood? I don't think so, Hamas, I 528 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: don't think so. You can't have a terrorist organization run 529 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: the second state, which is what's happening right now. So 530 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: this is the only thing that works now. The Left, 531 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: as you know, is freaking out about this. This is 532 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: AOC talking about ethnic cleansing. 533 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 2: We have known that this is Trump's plan for the 534 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 2: gods of strips. 535 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 14: He isn't pristic. 536 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 6: It is the definition of ethnic hunting. 537 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: It is part of the culmination of what I do 538 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: to be outside of calste people. 539 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 6: And this is generally one of the most horrific matters, 540 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 6: the humanitarian catastrophes that we've. 541 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 10: Seen in mornst. 542 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: Have you seemed live in Gaza? 543 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: It is literally rubble and ruined thanks to Hamas that 544 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: brought it on themselves ethnic cleansing. President Trump said he's 545 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: gonna move them to a beautiful land. Well, they'll finally 546 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: have a yard, maybe someone will have pools, they'll have jobs, 547 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: they will not live in the hell hole called Gaza. 548 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: That is not ethnic cleansing. 549 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: That's giving somebody a better life in the relocation, because 550 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: life in Gaza isn't great right now, especially under the 551 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: thumb of Hamas, even though Gazin's embraced that. So AOC 552 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: is completely out of line. There now the idea of 553 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: the United States taking it over, which is something President 554 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: Trump said, is on the table. It runs counterintuitive to 555 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: what President Trump said about not getting American troops involved. 556 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: So President Trump, his press secretary, was asked about US 557 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: troops the possibility of this. 558 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: This is what Caroline Levitt said, cut eight. 559 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 11: I would reject the premise of your question that this 560 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 11: forces the United States to be entanged in conflicts abroad. 561 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 11: The President has not committed to putting boots on the 562 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 11: ground in Gaza. He has also said that the United 563 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 11: States is not going to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza. 564 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 11: His administration is going to work with our partners in 565 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 11: the region to reconstruct this region. And let me just 566 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 11: take a step back here, because this is an out 567 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 11: of the box idea. That's who President Trump is, that's 568 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 11: why the American people elected him, and his goal is 569 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 11: lasting peace in the Middle East. 570 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: I think there may be something what President Trump was 571 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: doing yesterday, and it's to get people talking about the 572 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: reality of the situation. And the reality of the situation 573 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: is it's not working and it's not changing, and there 574 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: is no end in sight of the fighting that Hamas 575 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: causes on a regular basis towards Israel. The attacks always 576 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 1: come from the south into Israel. So this gets everybody talking, 577 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: and I believe in the end something needs to change. 578 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: This is one idea. Do I want to see American 579 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: soldier's boots on the grounds in Gaza? 580 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: No? 581 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Would I like to see a beautiful riviera There may 582 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: be paid for by Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern 583 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: countries and make it a destination and get the people 584 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: of Gaza out, maybe into Jordan, maybe into Egypt where 585 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: they could live and start to build back their lives 586 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: and leave Israel alone, all the while we wipe out 587 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: Hamas common sense ideas to me, though, the Left freaks 588 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: out over all of it. All right, folks, it will 589 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: come as no surprise a Biden era appointee collaborated with 590 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: a Chinese company to attack Amazon. That story is next, well, folks. 591 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: I certainly have my issues with Amazon. I think they 592 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: rely too much on China for their goods to sell 593 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: to Americans, and the FTC has an anti trust case 594 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: going against Amazon. But whatever you think of this anti 595 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: trust case, I want to raise awareness to something Lena 596 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: Kahan did, the chairwoman of the FTC. She recruited Timu Temu. 597 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: You probably know this Chinese group. It's a competitor of 598 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: Amazon that has made inroads into the United States. 599 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: They have no. 600 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: Warehouses here while Amazon gives about Americans one point five 601 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: million jobs here, and they recruited Teamu to bring dirt 602 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: on Amazon. Now, why would a United States agency bring 603 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: in the enemy China to try to attack an American company. 604 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: This is the FTC under Khan, a Biden appointee, wanted 605 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: to make Amazon open up its warehouses and its distribution 606 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: places to its competitors. That alone, I believe is anti American. 607 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: This idea of TEAMU coming in and waging war against 608 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: Amazon in the courts on behalf of the US government, 609 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: to me is backwards, especially when Google suspended the Tamu 610 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: app when they realized it had a backdoor window into users' emails. 611 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: Well with me now is the president of the American 612 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: Anti Trust Education Project. Robert bork Junior is with us. 613 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: Mister Borkin, it is great to have you on the program. 614 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. 615 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 2: All right. 616 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: So it's interesting because I don't often defend Amazon, but 617 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: in this case, I think I probably should. You wrote 618 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: an article about this. You've been studying this, tell me 619 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: the big problem? 620 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 14: Well, look for an agency to go to a competitor 621 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 14: of a company that it is suing is not illegal, 622 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 14: and it's certainly fairly typical. But in this case, Lena 623 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 14: Kahan sent her staff to talk to Timu, which is 624 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 14: a sort of super discounter from China that violates at 625 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 14: least the spirit of our laws because it avoids paying 626 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 14: tariffs in America because it sends it won't send anything 627 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 14: more than only will send eight hundred dollars or less 628 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 14: of its products to directly to American consumers, that way 629 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 14: avoiding having to pay any tariffs. So they've got this 630 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 14: little game going. But even worse than that is that 631 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 14: the Senate Select Committee reported some time ago that Timu 632 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 14: relies on forced labor from Xinjiang, which is the provincial 633 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 14: home of the Wigers, where torture and forced sterilization and 634 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 14: religious repression and concentration camps are being used by the Chinese, 635 00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 14: and they use that labor to make goods, violation of 636 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 14: our laws as well as basic human decency. 637 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 4: So I just find. 638 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 14: It just unbelievable that the chair of the FTC would 639 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 14: reach out to people like that to punish a law 640 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 14: abiding American company that is one of the most innovative 641 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 14: companies in America, that creates millions of jobs, as you mentioned, 642 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 14: and provides goods to American consumers at a fair price, 643 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 14: in fact, at a discounted price. 644 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: Mister Bork, what do you think happens now that the 645 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: Trump administration is in place, I would imagine he'd replace 646 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: this FTC chair. What happens would the trust the anti trust. 647 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 2: Suit against Amazon? And is there any merit to that lawsuit? 648 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 14: I don't think there is much merit to it. In fact, 649 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 14: almost none. You know, I've been following this administrator, the 650 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 14: last administration's lawsuits against American companies now for four years, 651 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 14: and the key sort of overarching element of all of 652 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 14: them is that they make stuff up. They bring cases 653 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 14: against Apple by creating a market that doesn't exist. They 654 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 14: went jerrymander a market, or they alleged to make allegations 655 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 14: against Meta for things that were approved by the previous 656 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 14: FTCs ten years ago, and they want to bring it 657 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 14: back up. So there's a lot to be said for 658 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 14: I think the skullduggery of the Treasury of the FTC 659 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 14: under Joe Biden and run by Lena Khan. But you 660 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 14: meant you asked, what's going to happen now? Well, we 661 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 14: have a new chair of the FTC. Already he was 662 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 14: a sitting commissioner. He was elevated to chair chairman. His 663 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 14: name is Andrew Ferguson, and we will have another Republican 664 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 14: probably confirmed in the next couple of weeks, and the 665 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 14: Republicans will then have a three to two majority on 666 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 14: the Commission. I think they will continue to be aggressive, 667 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 14: but perhaps a little bit more thoughtful, a little bit 668 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 14: more reliant on economics and facts. Then they're just sort 669 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 14: of enormous antipathy to big business and capitalism, and I'm 670 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 14: the fact that cases like Amazon will probably get pared 671 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 14: down and ultimately perhaps settled, where the other regime just 672 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 14: wanted to break. 673 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 4: The company up. 674 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: Look, Amazon, it appears, has taken over the world. I 675 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: mean now they own whole foods, and I think they're 676 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: too reliant on China for everything. So you know, I 677 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: don't know how far I want government going in and 678 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: breaking all that up. I'm always very hesitant about breaking 679 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: situations up like that. 680 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 2: I want competitors to be able to compete. 681 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: Amazon's gotten very, very big, though, But this idea of 682 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: team who coming in and it really is trying to 683 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: make inros to be that next competitor. I don't like 684 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: this because I think they're devious and I think working 685 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: for the CCP, they're doing much of the same thing 686 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: that TikTok was doing to gather information on American Citizen 687 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: ser This is Don Junior on his podcast Trigger talking 688 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: directly about Team. 689 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 2: Listen to this. 690 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 15: We've been doing investigations on the show on just how 691 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 15: much they've infiltrated our supply chains and explorting products made 692 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 15: with forced labor. My father has basically said, you better 693 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 15: move manufacturing here, you know, agree to oversight or else 694 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,479 Speaker 15: you're going to face consequences. We also see these cheap 695 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 15: Chinese retailers like Timu and Shan who like to exploit 696 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 15: the loopholes in our trade laws, and you know, en 697 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 15: route they're goods. 698 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 1: Basically everything you just spelled out, Robert Port Junior. And 699 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: in the end here, something's got to be done to 700 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: stop that from happening. What do you recommend the administration 701 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: now as I give you the last word. 702 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 14: Here, Well, I think they actually, you know, the President 703 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 14: just the other day, was it yesterday? 704 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 4: Even tell anymore? It's so fast, it's happening so fast. 705 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 14: He just signed an executive order I think, closing that loophole, uh, 706 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 14: adding tariffs. 707 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 4: So I think that team is going to find. 708 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 14: Itself up against the wall pretty quickly here, you know, 709 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 14: and the postal service stopped delivering stuff from China for 710 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 14: a day. Who knows what that will really, you know, 711 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 14: happen again. Uh, you know, I think there. I think 712 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 14: their days are numbered. And I think this administration, unlike 713 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 14: past administrations, like the Biden administration, basically sucked up to China. 714 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 4: I wonder why, well exactly, I think that's I think 715 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,479 Speaker 4: that's over. 716 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: I think it is too Look, if history is is judged, 717 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 1: President Trump has never been shy about pushing back against China. 718 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: He's already doing it now with this latest round of tariffs. Uh, 719 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to be too concerned over China's retaliatory 720 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 1: tariffs against us. We shall see how it plays out. 721 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm really not all that concerned either. But I appreciate 722 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: you bringing this story to us. The president of the 723 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: American Anti Trust Education Project, Robert Bork Junior, thank you, sir. 724 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 2: It's nice to see you. 725 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 4: Good to see you to thank you. 726 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 2: All right, You got it all right, folks. 727 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: What do Trump's tariffs mean for your portfolio? Staying ahead 728 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: of the curve for the next and welcome back everyone. 729 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: So the big question is what will happen with President 730 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: Trump's tariffs on China. My belief is it will not 731 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 1: have a huge effect when you look at liquified natural 732 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: gas amounting to only two point three percent of our 733 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: liquid fied natural gas exports going to China. And by 734 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: the way, Joe Biden had already put a real big 735 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: pause on liquified natural gas, crude. 736 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 2: Oil same thing. 737 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: China needs our energy products from coal, crude and LNG. 738 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 2: Why are they tariffing things they need from us? Are 739 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 2: tariffs to China? President Trump is smart. 740 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: He's tariffing the things that we already make here, allowing 741 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: us to be able to compete on the on the 742 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: back end. 743 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 2: But what does all this mean for your finances? What 744 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 2: does it mean for the markets? To me? 745 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: I believe all of it amounts to more chaotic events. 746 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: I don't see spending UH dropping in any major way 747 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 1: because we have these interest payments that we have to make, 748 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: which makes me think that gold is still really a 749 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: viable option to protect your portfolio. I want to bring 750 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: in with me now, precious metal specialist for Birch Gold, 751 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: Philip Patrick, is here. 752 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 2: Philip, welcome to the program. 753 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 7: Thank you for having me all right. 754 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 2: It's great to have you on. Philip. What do you 755 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,760 Speaker 2: make of Trump's tariffs China? 756 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 16: And gold listen, I think your summary was actually a 757 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 16: very good one. We need to start addressing some of 758 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 16: the issues. We need to address trade imbalancers, and as 759 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 16: you intimated, the big problem is a. 760 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 10: Revenue issue, a deficit issue. 761 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 16: So we're trying to find ways through addressing trade imbalancers 762 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 16: through generating external revenue to try and plug a deficit gap. 763 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 16: Tarifs are also being used, of course, as a negotiating tools, 764 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 16: specifically with Canada and Mexico to stop the flur of 765 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,279 Speaker 16: fetano through the border. For China, it's a little bit 766 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 16: more strategic, right they're looking at incentivizing domestic manufacturer specifically 767 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 16: for critical defense related components. So you know, I see 768 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 16: tariffs like you creating volatility. They are starting to do 769 00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,439 Speaker 16: that because the problem with tariffs since World War Two, 770 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,280 Speaker 16: everything's very intertwined. So the second we slap tarifs on China, 771 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 16: guess what, we get hit back with retaliatory tariffs. And 772 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 16: we're starting to see that now. So volatility is coming, 773 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 16: but I think long term is necessary. 774 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: All right, we could raise a lot of money as 775 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: a nation with some of these tariffs if they were 776 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,239 Speaker 1: to end up going through President Trump. Clearly believes in 777 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: them to bring down our national debt. Our interest payments 778 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: are through the roof. I mean, it's literally trillions of 779 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: dollars every day. We'll go more and more bust. When 780 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: you look at what Doze is doing, it's eight million here, 781 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,919 Speaker 1: twenty million here, that all of it adds up. Don't 782 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: get me wrong, but this is a drop in the 783 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 1: bucket when it comes to the interest payments we're making 784 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: on America. I don't see that changing anytime soon, especially 785 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: with Congress's pension for spending. 786 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 7: I agree, Vim and Lee listen. 787 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 16: Tariffs as a revenue generator are not fantastic. They're really 788 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 16: effective at boosting domestic manufacturing. But the reason they're not 789 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 16: effective is a revenue generator. It is that retaliation. So 790 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 16: for example, the terriffs that Trump put on China in 791 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 16: twenty sixteen, that every dollar they generated in revenue, we 792 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 16: had to give back ninety six cents in subsidies in 793 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 16: this case to US. 794 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 10: Farming, the US farming industry. 795 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 2: Doge. 796 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 16: I agree, there's not enough money. They're talking about cutting 797 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,840 Speaker 16: a trillion dollars. I don't see it. For some context, 798 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 16: they could fire every government employee. That would be about 799 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,919 Speaker 16: three hundred billion dollars, so there isn't a huge amount there. 800 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,479 Speaker 16: I agree with you, We're going to continue to run 801 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 16: deficits debt service payments, and I want to leave the 802 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 16: viewers with something. Ferguson's lawn, Nile Ferguson, very famous historian. 803 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 16: Without exception in history, whenever a great nation spends more 804 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,240 Speaker 16: on debt service than they do on defense, the empire 805 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 16: has collapsed. That has been true of every empire in history. 806 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 16: Last year we were one point two trillion on defense, sorry, 807 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 16: eight hundred billion on defense, one point two trillion on 808 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 16: debt service. So if President Trump pulls this off, he 809 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 16: will pull off what no human in history has managed 810 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 16: to do. 811 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 7: So you know it's time to. 812 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:56,920 Speaker 2: Hit Golden will make any difference. Nothing will if America collapses. 813 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: We can't afford that, right, So I think President trum 814 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: we'll pull it off. But I also always say follow 815 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: the smart money. Still to this day China buying gold. 816 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: You have basically every major nation buying up gold, and 817 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 1: record numbers. I'll give you the last word, Philip. 818 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 16: Last year they said a new record twenty twenty four, 819 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 16: so it's been three years. Consistently they're hedging dollar exposure, 820 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 16: and I think we should do the same. Listen, I 821 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 16: like you believe in President Trump. Listen to what they're saying. 822 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 16: They're addressing the problems that they have a big task 823 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 16: in front of them. So I imagine President Trump's edging himself. 824 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 16: Central banks around the world, they're edging themselves, and I 825 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,720 Speaker 16: think we need to do the same. 826 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 827 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you. 828 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: Birch Gold as this great book out, Gold in the 829 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: Trump Era, and I urge people to read this.
