Miranda, your piece up on 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 3: the New York Post. I think we've got a crosspost 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 3: at clayanbuck dot com. It is very important. Let's start 11 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 3: with this. How sure are we, how solid are we 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: that this stuff about about Crooks right now is true? 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: That has been found online the YouTube accounts like go 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: through a little bit of the verification of that with us. 15 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. This is from a sauce who is obviously 16 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 4: very tech savvy and has basically used open source searching 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 4: of where archives using some tools that private investigators have, 18 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 4: but not using law enforcement tools. And you know, a 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: day after Butler YouTube, for instance, shut down Thomas Crooks's account, 20 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 4: but my source managed to find old messages from there. 21 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: Now this was available to the FBI because we know 22 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 4: that the Deputy director Paul at back in July of 23 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 4: last year, a week two weeks after the Butler event, 24 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 4: he testified to Congress about this account with more than 25 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 4: seven hundred comments which we have which. 26 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 5: Our source gave us, and so you know, it's pretty straightforward. 27 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 4: Our source found seventeen online accounts that Thomas Crooks had 28 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: signed up to using his own name, using a phone 29 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: number of Thomas Crooks that was publicly available, and his 30 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 4: email addresses that connected to all these accounts. So he's 31 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 4: cross checked it and is very satisfied that this is 32 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 4: the Thomas Crooks where he wasn't one hundred percent sure, 33 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 4: he said so, but he used these they're not really aliases, 34 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 4: but they're sort of handles cooks used on other social 35 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 4: media like gab and x. 36 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: He used epic microwave. 37 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: That's also what he used on a site called deviant Art. 38 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 4: The only time he used an actual alias to sign 39 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 4: up for an account was with PayPal, and he used 40 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 4: the name Rod Swanson, which is the name of an 41 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 4: FBI agent who a former FBI agent from Vegas who 42 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: was partially involved in the Las Vegas, you know, mysterious 43 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 4: mass shooting. I've talked to him, knows nothing about it, 44 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 4: doesn't have a PayPal account, never never interacted with Thomas Crooks, 45 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: and doesn't even know how to set up a PayPal account. 46 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 4: But what he did tell me, because he's a very 47 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 4: senior former FBI guy, very seasoned, he said, it is 48 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 4: inconceivable that a kid with this kind of online communications 49 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 4: and sort of violent rhetoric would not have been visited 50 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: or be on the radar of the FBR. So, you know, 51 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 4: other FBI people tell me the same thing. Some one 52 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 4: of them suggested that because August twenty twenty was when 53 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: Thomas was at his peak violent rhetoric, talking about assassinating 54 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: political leaders and assassinating military leaders and using AR fifteenths, 55 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: which was similar to the gun that he used, and 56 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 4: just after that he goes dark. He just disappears off 57 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: all of these platforms. 58 00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 5: You he's a go. 59 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: But until August of twenty twenty, he's very prolific, and 60 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 4: you can see the trajectory of how he goes from 61 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: you know, age sort of fifteen sixteen, very pro Trump, 62 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 4: you know, like calling him the ultimate patriot, very anti Democrats, 63 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 4: anti the squad, anti Ilhanoma, and then something happens. 64 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 5: To him in January twenty twenty. 65 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 4: In the space a few months, he's gone from rapidly 66 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 4: pro Trump, he goes to rapidly anti Trump. He's got 67 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 4: flipped one hundred and ninety degrees, and then his rhetoric 68 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 4: gets more and more violent and disturbing, and you know, people, 69 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 4: it was so bad that there were people online interacting 70 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,119 Speaker 4: him with him who were tagging the FBI and saying 71 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: to him, hey, you know, you're pretty dumb, like the 72 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 4: way you're talking openly. 73 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: Now it's good because now law enforcement knows where to 74 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 5: find you. 75 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 4: So it's hard to believe the FBI didn't have him 76 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 4: in their sights. But Christopher Ray a week after Butler 77 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 4: testified to Congress that they had done a search of 78 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 4: their database and found nothing before Butler. So that doesn't 79 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: necessarily mean that they didn't have any interaction. And I 80 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 4: think Christopher Ray knew exactly what he was doing when 81 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 4: he phrased it in that way, because I know that 82 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: during my Biden research that there was interactions with whistleblowers 83 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 4: about the Biden family influence peddling corruption, and that was 84 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 4: not visible to any average FBI agent looking in the database. 85 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: It was hidden away deliberately by certain road FBI agents 86 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: in a place where it could only be found by 87 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: people who needed to know. 88 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 3: So there's so much here, Miranda, I want, I think 89 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: it's so important everyone knows these details because it's. 90 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: Hard to believe. 91 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: That's one way of putting it, that all this was 92 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: out there and that as you've as you said, from 93 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 3: even FBI sources of yours, that this would not have 94 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: been on the FBI's radar. 95 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: But an even. 96 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 3: Like lesser but also equally hard to believe component of 97 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: this to me seems to be that the FBI didn't 98 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: find this stuff, Like why how is it possible that 99 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: your person, your source was able to find this online 100 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: but the FBI wasn't able to write there's the possibility 101 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 3: of being on the radar before the shooting and the 102 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: and possible meeting with law enforcement. You've established that, But 103 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: how is it that we didn't know about this before? 104 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: Is the FBI? Are we to be told that they're 105 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 3: that incompetent? That is just it's mind blowing. 106 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: No, I have no reason to think that the FBI 107 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: isn't fully aware of this and much more, I mean, 108 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 4: you know, it would be ridiculous to think that they 109 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 4: hadn't uncovered this, and in fact, Paula Bate, the deputy 110 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: director under Ray, did testify that they had this account 111 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 4: with more than seven hundred for their YouTuber count. So 112 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 4: I assume they have all of this and much more. 113 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 4: The question is why haven't they been more force coming, 114 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: particularly since Trump took over by When I contacted the 115 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: FBI about this story and asked them a number of questions, including, 116 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 4: I think the most important question, did you have any 117 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: interactions with Thomas. 118 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: Crooks before Butler? 119 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: Did anyone tip you off about Thomas Crooks? You know, 120 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: did you investigate him? Did you knock on his door? 121 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: That's what I'm told they should have knocked on his door. 122 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 5: Did you do that? 123 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: What the answer I get from Cash Betel's FBI no comment, 124 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: that's it. So I don't understand it. And you know, 125 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 4: someone else said to me, well, maybe it was the 126 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 4: Secret Service because in August twenty twenty, Donald Trump was president, 127 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 4: so they have would be the primary agency that would 128 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: go and knock on a door if there's a threat 129 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: to one of their protect ee. But the Secret Service 130 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: gave me a better response when I asked them, and 131 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 4: they said basically that this would be in. This would 132 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 4: be something the FBI would do that even if they 133 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: said they have no record of crooks they said now. 134 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: But in any case, this is an FBI responsibility. So 135 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 4: I don't even think it's as simple as for between 136 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 4: the cracks between two agencies. The FBI knows a lot, 137 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: they have to know a lot. 138 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 5: Just how much I don't know? 139 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: And can I jump in with there's something that we 140 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: didn't know or at least it wasn't imported until this 141 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: week that this guy used they then pronouns and was 142 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 3: interested in furries and had brought into the gender madness. 143 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 3: How could that not have been brought forward if the 144 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: FBI was operating in good faith and had access to 145 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 3: this information. 146 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it's very slim. I have to emphasize that. 147 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: But like Tyler Robinson, edged assassin of Charlie Kirk, there 148 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: is a connection to this sexual fetish called furries, which 149 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: is people dressing up as animals or enjoying cartoon animal 150 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: humanized figures, having sex or being in sexual positions. So 151 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 4: Thomas Crook, he's not shared any furry staff will talked 152 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: about it, but he was frequenting and had two accounts 153 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: on a site called deviant Art, which is the major 154 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: sort of furry hub online furry hub, and it's sort 155 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: of for the furry community, and he doesn't share anything 156 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 4: like that. He does share this sort of bizarre image 157 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 4: of a very muscle bound sort of Sylvester Stallone sort 158 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: of masculine body with a female head on top of it, 159 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: with a puny little guy next to it that looks 160 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: like him. 161 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 5: That's sort of in a prostate. 162 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: They're not dressed, they're a dressed in their underwear. So 163 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 4: that one and then other than that sort of cartoon 164 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: characters on this platform that are violent shooting each other 165 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: in the head and so on. 166 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 3: Right, he's clearly a sicko. What about the they them 167 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 3: pronoun stuff? 168 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 4: And he uses they them pronouns on deviant Art. That's 169 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: the first time we've seen that, so clearly some sort 170 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 4: of gender confusion or exploring gender identity again. I mean 171 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: that disturbing needs to explored because we've had so many 172 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 4: under school shooters.

He truly is. 226 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 4: I still have the same impression of him that I've 227 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: always had. He's a broken human being, and look he's 228 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: lashing out. He noticed that in all his podcasts, he 229 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: never refutes a word that I said and what I've 230 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 4: written and what I've found. Even though he keeps up 231 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 4: the pretense through his lawyer, Abby Loll that he doesn't 232 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: know anything about the laptop. It's not his laptop, or 233 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 4: maybe it was his laptop, it was stolen, He never 234 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 4: refutes any of it. The millions of dollars, the fact 235 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 4: that he traded on his father's name, the fact that 236 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 4: his father was involved in getting him clients and then 237 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 4: he put him on the speakerphone, all that corruption during 238 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: Joe Biden's vice presidency to enrich his family. He doesn't, 239 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 4: he doesn't go into any of that. And trying to 240 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 4: send himself, he just attacks my appearance and hilariously calls 241 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 4: me a whore. So, I mean, you know, it's ridiculous, 242 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 4: and I think I just ignore it. 243 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, he's he's like he should he 244 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: should be in prison, as we all know, he should 245 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 3: be serving a lengthy federal sentence in prison, but because 246 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: of Daddy, he's not. But I just, you know, Miranda, 247 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: I think there were a lot of people on the 248 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: right who were you know, they're, oh, he's an addict, 249 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 3: and they try to give some sympathy. I think what 250 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: you saw here, he's a disgusting human being. Uh and 251 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: and I and I thought that all along, So you know, 252 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: I just think he showed everybody what a piece of 253 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 3: garbage he is. And I'm just glad that you did 254 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 3: the completely accurate and fearless reporting on him that you did, 255 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 3: and that people knew the truth about the Bidens in 256 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: general and the Biden crime family.

Let's let's get right 274 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: to it. 275 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: This revelation that came out, it was a combination of 276 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 3: reporting from Miranda Devine, Tucker Carlson on Thomas Crooks, the 277 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: would be assassin of Donald Trump, that really the first 278 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: of two would be assassins, but the one who actually 279 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: got shots off and managed to shoot the president in 280 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 3: the ear. There seems to be information that maybe the 281 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: FBI had but didn't public a release or first let 282 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 3: me ask you about that. What do you make of this? 283 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: That there were some accounts online that we weren't told 284 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 3: about that indicated at least at some level, Thomas Crooks 285 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: had become a using trans pronouns and all this kind 286 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: of stuff. What do you make of this? Did the 287 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 3: FBI probably know and just not talk about it, or 288 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: did they miss it or what? 289 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 7: Well, again, I've got a great deal of sympathy for 290 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 7: cash Brutel, Dan Bongino, dam BONDI going to these agencies 291 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 7: trying to root out the deep state actors that many 292 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 7: are still burrowed in, unable to really hire the kind 293 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 7: of staff they need because of the lawfare against good 294 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 7: people like judge troops in Wisconsin and others. They're kind 295 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 7: of reluctant to join the Trump administration during their career 296 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 7: be destroyed. So I've got I want to start there. 297 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 7: I've got a great deal simpthy. These has come into office, 298 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 7: They've got enormous messes. They're trying to clean up, actually 299 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 7: turn these agencies into what they they're meant to be 300 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 7: crime fighting units for the standpoint of the FBI. But 301 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 7: at the same time, I'll say I've been frustrating. We 302 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 7: tried to undertake by Parisian investigation and then we did 303 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 7: some work but buying large What we found out about 304 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 7: Butler was pretty well gleaned by my investory staff in 305 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 7: the first week, primarily talking to local law officials I 306 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 7: issued where I considered a friendly subpoena too the FBI 307 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 7: to help prompt more documents, more more information coming forward 308 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 7: with our liaison of the FBI actually thanked this for 309 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 7: the subpoena. But the fact matters, we really have not 310 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 7: gotten much. So we've had to go out and contact 311 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 7: phone carriers and social media companies. We're starting to get information. 312 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 7: We're piecing things together. You know that there are things 313 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 7: that are interesting that we need it had a complete 314 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 7: the investigation before we start publishing. But no, there's an 315 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 7: awful lot unknown about Thomas Crooks that from my standpoint, 316 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 7: we should have known quite some time ago. 317 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: So so, just so I'm clear on this, Senator, there's 318 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 3: an awful lot that the public should know about that 319 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: you think the FBI has and has not made public. 320 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: Or there's more that the FBI maybe didn't find. 321 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 7: It's probably both both, Okay, yeah, yeah, you know again 322 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 7: we yeah, I mean, I'm frustrated. Fuck, there's no doubt 323 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 7: about it. But again, I don't want to be throwing 324 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 7: cast Telo Dan Bongino under the bus because yeah, just 325 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 7: so you know. 326 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 3: Senator, we don't do that. You know, we know cash 327 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 3: and uh and and Dan here. They're friends of ours, 328 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 3: you know, from before they took these jobs. They took 329 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 3: these jobs because they want to help and they want 330 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: to reform, and they you know, and we get a 331 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 3: lot of heat for standing up for them here because 332 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: some people have been very frustrated with even a lot 333 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 3: of Trump voters have been frustrated with a transparency issue. 334 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: But I try to remind everybody these are enormous, unwieldy, 335 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: bureaucratic institutions that were really left rot from the inside 336 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 3: under previous administrations. 337 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: There's a lot of work to be done. 338 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 7: There really is. So we're pursuing this. I'm pretty well 339 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 7: undertaking the investigation now from Santa stan Point, just through 340 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 7: my firm Subcoming investigation kind of walked away from the 341 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 7: by Parson because it just slowed its way down. But again, 342 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 7: all I can say is that there's more information that 343 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 7: will eventually come out and some that we have yet 344 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 7: not yet discovered. So we're we're still doing investigation. 345 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 3: Now on the transparency issue. Obviously, you were a yes 346 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 3: vote for releasing the Epstein files because the Senate was 347 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: unanimous in this right one member of the House. Everyone 348 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: else voted for it. One member of the House is Look, 349 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: I'm his concern was that he thinks that there are 350 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: people that will be tainted who didn't do anything wrong, 351 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 3: but their name is just in some Okay, so that 352 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: was his, but everybody else voted to release this thing. 353 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: Can you just tell us what your sense is of 354 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 3: where the president has been on this one. I know 355 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: you talked to President Trump. He is now in favor 356 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: of it, But people keep asking to say, well, why 357 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 3: is he in favor of it now? Why has there 358 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 3: been this delay? And how do you see the release 359 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 3: of the Epstein files from the beginning of this administration 360 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 3: to president in terms of what's going on here, like 361 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 3: why has it been so stop? 362 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 2: Start? 363 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 7: Well? I thought the Speaker really did a pretty good 364 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 7: job laying out his concerns about, you know, information getting 365 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 7: out of the public domain that really would be harmful 366 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 7: to victims, and is that could be adequately protected in 367 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 7: whatever gets released this time. I would guess President Trump 368 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 7: has similar concerns. I think President Trump as I would 369 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 7: have similar concerns going is this evidence of these documents untainted? 370 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 7: You know that's true. They're in the Biden amidst of 371 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 7: the Biden administration, who were, I mean, bad administration doing 372 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 7: everything they could story Donald Trump during their four years. 373 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 7: If there's something damsey to Trump, you would think that 374 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 7: would have already been released. So I also take the 375 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 7: president's word. I mean, he just he doesn't. We have 376 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 7: serious problems facing the station. There are a lot of 377 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 7: things he's addressing. Do we really need this distraction? Having 378 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 7: said all that, I'm as curious as every other American 379 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 7: about what happened bringing people to justice who are pedophiles 380 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 7: that you know, engage this kind of abuse. So again 381 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 7: I'm as curious as anybody. We didn't take a vote, 382 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 7: by the way, we just passed this by unanimous consents, 383 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 7: I think before the bill eton got over here. So yeah, 384 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 7: the Senate didn't want to take much time on this. 385 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 7: That was a fight in the House. People who fought 386 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 7: for disclosure won. And now we'll see what we'll get. 387 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a rare It's a rare moment where things 388 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: just fly through and bipartis in fashion in the Congress. 389 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 3: So now we're is it once the President signs this 390 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 3: and everyone believes it's going to get signed imminently, thirty 391 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 3: days for the release? 392 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 2: Is that how this goes? 393 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 7: That's right here. But yeah, they still probably need to 394 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 7: do a review and there will be some material with 395 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 7: help and they and the while they've got I think 396 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 7: four or five very specific reasons the things that can 397 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 7: be withheld, but you know, really just reflects with the 398 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 7: public wanted to see this, and so as elected officials 399 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 7: when you when you for a year, that's the number 400 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 7: one thing that people calling into your office is you know, 401 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 7: vote to release the Epstein files. You know, in the end, 402 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 7: representative government actually works. 403 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you have on the on the agenda here? 404 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 3: I know the Senate goes into recess. What next week 405 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 3: sometime for Thanksgiving? What are you hoping can get done 406 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 3: before the end of this year? Is there anything? Are 407 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: you going to try to get some judges through? How's 408 00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 3: that going? 409 00:22:59,720 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 2: What? 410 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: What are you looking to get the Senate to finally 411 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: push over the finish line here before we all head 412 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 3: out for the holidays. 413 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, the Senate's always doing nominations now that we had 414 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 7: to change rules because the obnoxious obstruction of Democrats will 415 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 7: probably clear another seventy two hundred nominations of various types. 416 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 7: We are working healthcare, by the way, we always have. 417 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 7: It's just golling to hero republics have no plans. You know, 418 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 7: we have all kinds of plans. It's how do we 419 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 7: get it passed. Democrats are in a complete state denial 420 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 7: of the miserable failure that Obamacare has been. The reason 421 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 7: people's premiums are increasing is because of the fault lawed 422 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 7: design of Obamacare. So we are working very diligently on that, 423 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 7: you know which, Scott is proabably involved in this, probably 424 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 7: as knowledgeable an individual on healthcare in America, if not 425 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 7: the world. So we've got some good people here. I 426 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 7: bought health care for thirty years. I'm pretty knowledgeable about 427 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 7: as well. So we're going to do this based on, 428 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 7: you know, repairing the damage done by Obamacare. We defined 429 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 7: the problem coming up with you know, what are the principles, 430 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 7: and President Trump tweeted the main principles. Rather than spend 431 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 7: hundreds of or sent hundreds of millions of dollars into 432 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 7: these insurance companies unit health stock price increase seven percent, 433 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 7: fences Obamacare that the slowest percent increase in stock prices 434 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 7: four or fourteen percent, Instead of filling the conference of 435 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 7: insurance companies, why don't we give that money to the 436 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 7: American people turn them in into consumers of health insurance 437 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 7: and health care with things like HSA accounts. So no 438 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 7: Repubitans have solutions. It's how can we overcome, you know, 439 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 7: the impediment that the structure of Obamacare is with the 440 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 7: current filibuster, which, by the way, I've very been very 441 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 7: public reluctantly, but I completely agree with Press and Trump. 442 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 7: It's time to end the filibuster. The Democrats will do it. 443 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 7: We will look like schmucks in twenty twenty eight if 444 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 7: they have all the lovers of power and they do 445 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,239 Speaker 7: this and then do it to maintain their power, as 446 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 7: opposed to we're going to do it to secure our elections, 447 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 7: for the secure border, hopefully your PA of the damage 448 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 7: done by a biomecare transition to a system that works, 449 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 7: you know, have a prosperous economy, make things more affordable. 450 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 7: You know, we would use ending the filbuster for the 451 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 7: benef of the American people, not our own personal power. 452 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 3: Speaking of Senator Ron Johnson in Wisconsin and Senator I 453 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: want to actually circle back if I can, to the 454 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: oversight of the FBI for a moment here, because I 455 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 3: know you're very up to speed on the Arctic frost situation. Right, 456 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 3: that was the FBI investigation run under the Biden administration 457 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 3: about January sixth and the twenty twenty election. It looks 458 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: like there were abuses there. What can you tell us 459 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: about what we're learning about arctic frost and what's going 460 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 3: to come next? 461 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 7: Well, I think what has been revealed recently, this wasn't 462 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 7: just a mere phishing expedition. This was a massive artisan 463 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 7: dragnet really meant to cripple the Republican Party. Obviously Trump 464 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 7: was the main target that Yeah, we got, you know, 465 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 7: some members of Congress got some of our phone records 466 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 7: grouped up. But what's maybe the most outrageous is just 467 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 7: ordinary citizens. You know, all these affiliated Republican groups, But 468 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 7: for ETAMP in Wisconsin, thirty eight wisconsinites, just god fearing, 469 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 7: country loving law nenforces supporting people were on the enemy's lists. 470 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 7: They are literally trying to destroy the person of unbelievable 471 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 7: in terry Judge Troopus, who just represented President Trump for 472 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 7: two months after the election. There were serious problems in Wisconsin. 473 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 7: They're criminalizing that behavior, they're attempting to That's what all 474 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 7: Artiecross is all about, criminalizing what basically JFK did in 475 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 7: Hawaii at these alternate electors. It's just shameful. And I 476 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 7: met with the Tourney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Tourney 477 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 7: General Todd Blanche this week and they are completely on 478 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 7: board with exposure. And one of the things I point 479 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 7: out is get US communication records between Biden officials and 480 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 7: Wisconsin officials on for example, Judge Troopas you know, let's 481 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 7: see the coordination between the bid administration of these outside groups. 482 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 7: You know, the Mary McCord's, the Mark oiases, you know, 483 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 7: all these legal groups that the left has that are 484 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 7: engaged in the lawfare across the board. It got again, 485 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 7: not just against President Trump, but ordinary Americans. People just 486 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 7: have to support the Republican Party and President Trump. They're 487 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 7: trying to destroy all these people. 488 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 3: Senator Johnson, one more for you before we let you go. 489 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 3: What is your favorite part of a traditional and I 490 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: don't know how you guys do it up in Wisconsin, 491 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 3: but a traditional American Thanksgiving feast? 492 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: Your favorite dish? 493 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's the turkey, it's the dressing, it's 494 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 7: the gravy.

Senator Mark 513 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: Wayne Mullen joins us right now and appreciate you joining, Senator. 514 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 8: Thank you for your time, absolutely thanks for having me on. 515 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: So these strikes. There's a lot of questions that people are. 516 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: Asking about them. Some just want to know more, some 517 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 3: obviously very much are opposing them. In the media, including 518 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 3: some Republicans, some Senate colleagues, or at least one I 519 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 3: can think of. Let's talk about whether they're working, what 520 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: are they What can we say about how effective these 521 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 3: strikes are at this point? 522 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: Do we not know? 523 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 3: Is there a drop infentantol importation via these boats? You know, 524 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: because I think that's a big part of whether or 525 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 3: not we can say that this is a program that 526 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 3: the American people are going to continue with. 527 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's important for us to see the 528 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 8: big picture, and so I'll get to that in just second. 529 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 8: But let's talk about what your questions were. Have we 530 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 8: seen a dropping fitt and al. Have we seen dropping 531 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 8: in cocaine drafting? Absolutely, And the biggest measuring stick to 532 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 8: that is the price on the street. I know it 533 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 8: sounds crazy, but you know, everything is supplying demand. We've 534 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 8: seen a significant increase in the price of fittanyel, in 535 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 8: the price of cocaine because their shipping lanes are being 536 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 8: cut off. The President is being very proactive on his approach, 537 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 8: where the than waiting until it gets to our shores, 538 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 8: he has taken approach that we're going to destroy it 539 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 8: in international water, which has put everybody on notice because 540 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 8: it's not just coming out of Venezuela. You know, we 541 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 8: saw an attack on we saw us taken out at 542 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 8: Narco boat in the Pacific two and so what the 543 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 8: President is doing here because he realizes that we've lost 544 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 8: more Americans in twenty twenty four. We haven't got the 545 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 8: statistics shet for twenty twenty five, but in twenty twenty four, 546 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 8: we lost more Americans to fit and all and other 547 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 8: drug overdoses inside the United States, and we did the 548 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 8: entire Vietnam War. That's a staggering number. Because every single 549 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 8: one of your listeners, including yourself and I know somebody 550 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 8: that has been affected by this drug war that has 551 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 8: come to our hometowns, to be it small the small 552 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 8: town like West of the Loklahoma or a large metropolitania 553 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 8: like Dallas Fort Worth. It has affected all of our streets, 554 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 8: has affected all of our friends and family. It's affected 555 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 8: some of us. So what the what the President has 556 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 8: done is he's done a full court approach. It's not 557 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 8: just about taking out the drug boats and narco boats, 558 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 8: but it's also about getting rid of their supply lines 559 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 8: of of of once it gets into the United States, 560 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 8: the distribution lines plus the cash flowing back out to 561 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 8: the cartels. So when the President deemed the cartels a 562 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 8: terrorist organization, what allowed is the full way to the 563 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 8: United States to come in. And so you see uh DHS, 564 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 8: you know, Secretary Gnome and and Ice going into these 565 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 8: major metropolitan areas. A lot of people think it's just 566 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 8: about deporting illegal immigrants, but it's it's not. It's also 567 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 8: disturbing their their supply lines. We see a Department of 568 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 8: trans Transportation with Secretary Duffy that's doing stops inside the 569 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 8: United States. There's a actual as we speak, there's an 570 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 8: operation going on in Oklahoma right now where we're stopping trucks, 571 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 8: we're doing drugs or searches, but we're also arresting illegals 572 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 8: their supply lines. With the illegals that are coming into 573 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 8: the United States illegally, the drug the gangs like MS 574 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 8: thirteen and other games that are being used to distribute 575 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 8: and and and supply different areas inside of the United States, 576 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 8: DHS is taking a hard look. So we're pushing them 577 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 8: from the end of their supply all the way back 578 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 8: into Venezuela, back in New Mexico, back where it's going. 579 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 8: Plus we're being proactive with the drugs coming into the 580 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 8: United States. So it's the first time ever ever that 581 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 8: we've had a full pledge, all out assault on the 582 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 8: drug cartels, and we're having a huge, huge impact. So 583 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 8: a lot of people need to look past just the 584 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 8: Narco boats, but also understand what we're doing inside our 585 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 8: cities and on our interstates center. 586 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: How trouble Buck and I started off the show today 587 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: talking about the revelations I'm sure you've seen them from 588 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson Miranda Divine about the would be Trump assassin 589 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: in Butler, Pennsylvania, the fact that he appears to have 590 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: been radicalized on YouTube, posting violent threats in the comments there. Again, 591 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: this is based on their reporting. We have been told, hey, 592 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: we'll never know really the motivations of this guy from 593 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: our FBI, based on the reports that I've seen. 594 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 2: How troubled are you that these media. 595 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: Investigations seem to show transrelated connections an incredibly violent commentary 596 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: under the guy's own name on YouTube. Should we be 597 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: concerned about this and what should happen going forward as 598 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: it pertains to that assassination investigation. 599 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 8: Well, I think there's no one more motivated to get 600 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 8: to the root of problems than President Trump. He's the 601 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 8: one that got his ear shot and he's the one 602 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 8: that they've tried to say ethnic two different times, and 603 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 8: so he's extremely motivated to prevent it, honestly, from happening 604 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 8: to him again. Plus the Secret Service, and then you 605 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 8: take Cash Hotel, who loves the president, and Pam Bondi, 606 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 8: who loves the president. We all do. We're all walking 607 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 8: in the same direction, in the same boat. We're all 608 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 8: in the same direction. I kind of take a step 609 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 8: back when you chase so many conspiracies, especially some of 610 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 8: these news reporters if they want to call on that, 611 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 8: or commentary or talk show host when they constantly are 612 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 8: chasing conspiracy theories, and they believe a conspiracy theory is 613 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 8: the truth, because anybody can say something online and you 614 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 8: can run an AI search and it doesn't do a 615 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 8: deep dive for you. All it does is take the 616 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 8: information that's on the Internet and you can persuade any 617 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 8: algorithm to come up with whatever you want it to 618 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 8: come up with. And so I always take a step back. 619 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 8: I believe in facts, and it's really hard for me 620 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 8: to believe that someone like Tuckle Carls would have a 621 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 8: better research department than the FBI. I read Intel reports 622 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 8: on this stuff, a lot of stuff that the public 623 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 8: won't be able to see because they don't have the 624 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 8: same topic clearances, which it will be very hard for 625 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 8: a lot of this stuff to be released, because it's 626 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 8: not that we're trying to protect the shooter's identity. It's 627 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 8: because we try to protect the trade craft on how 628 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 8: we access this information. And in a lot of times, 629 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 8: when we see how we gather that trade that information, 630 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 8: it releases the trade craft that these I see the 631 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 8: intelligence community uses. But I have seen nothing period to 632 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 8: support Tucker Carlson's theory on this one. I'm not saying 633 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 8: it can't be realistic, but I just don't believe it 634 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 8: until I actually see it. I don't have time to 635 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,720 Speaker 8: chase theories. 636 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: Speaking of Senator Mark Wade Mullen and you sure you're 637 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 3: on the Armed Services Committee, I want to just pivot 638 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 3: back for a second to the drug boat strikes twenty 639 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 3: one so far over eightyp killed. Senator Ran Paul, your 640 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 3: Republican colleague, is very against these. He has recently said things. 641 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 8: Like color rand as the Republican colleague is pretty loose slipped. 642 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 3: So, I mean he is a Republican colleague. You know, 643 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 3: we can we can talk about how you feel about that, 644 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 3: but he definitely is a Republican senator. So what do 645 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 3: you think about the concerns about legality when it comes 646 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 3: to these strikes. 647 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 8: Well, I don't. I think the president's well within his 648 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 8: authority to do so, because it's very clear that these 649 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 8: are terrorist organizations. They are attacking us, attacking our streets, 650 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 8: or domestic terrorists plus foreign terrorists. The President is well 651 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 8: within his rights to be able to protect a United 652 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 8: States citizens home and abroad, not in our intellectual property 653 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 8: and our person self. It's that's well within within his 654 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 8: constitutional authority to do so. And so for ran Paul 655 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 8: to quote that, I always what I always say is say, okay, 656 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 8: give me in the concertshe works. Not in his authority 657 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 8: to do that, because people always say it's outside the constitution. Okay, 658 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 8: to show me, show me. The constitution is very very thin. 659 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 8: It's not hard to read. It's you can read it 660 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 8: in twenty minutes if you want to pull out the 661 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 8: part that ram Paul is talking about. But this is 662 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 8: the same Rampaule that it doesn't vote with Republicans, doth 663 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 8: and government. He just recently was trying to support his 664 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 8: plan to enhance THFC levels for consumption in drinks because 665 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 8: he thought it was good for Kentucky's not joking, good 666 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 8: for Kentucky's industry, for hemp industry. This is the same 667 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 8: Ram Paul that is constantly looking for an opportunity to 668 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 8: run against the President of the United States, and so 669 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 8: he's looking for an opportunity anytime he can to distance himself. 670 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 8: I would be a lot better off if ram Paul 671 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 8: just called himself what he is. He's a libertarian. I'm 672 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 8: perfectly okay with that. But he can't get elected as 673 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 8: a libertarian in Kentucky to run as a Republican. You know, 674 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 8: I have more respect for Thomas Massey than I do 675 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 8: Ram Paul.

Glad we pulled off the wind. But in 702 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 8: the little part I was like, Oh, I'm kind of 703 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 8: almost sad for this group because this whole town goes 704 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 8: hass to go into depression now because they got deep 705 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 8: from the University of Oklahoma. But it was it was, 706 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 8: you know, we had the first pick six. I was 707 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 8: setting in the president's box for the University of Alabama 708 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 8: and super nice guy, and I hollered because I got 709 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 8: my OU you know, wrestling, because my son wrestles through 710 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 8: University of Oclaoma, and I got my OU wrestling shirt on. 711 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 8: And one of the guy's walked up to me and 712 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 8: he says, I was going to give you I'm using 713 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 8: clean language here. I was going to give you crap 714 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 8: about hollering in the President's box, but I have thought 715 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 8: better of it. When I saw your shirt said wrestling. 716 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 8: We just laughed about it. But that was kind of 717 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 8: group it was. Now, as far as anybody, this isn't 718 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 8: particular for anybody. As far as anybody willing to put 719 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,760 Speaker 8: their name on any ballot and run for any office, 720 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 8: I don't care if it's school board, city council, mayor 721 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 8: state rep, state senate, sheriff, county commissioner, or for a 722 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,359 Speaker 8: federal office. I commend you for doing that. And no 723 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 8: one knows what type of person that can it's going 724 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 8: to be. But we need good people that have a 725 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 8: passion for our country, not a passion for a title 726 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 8: to run to run for office, and my measuring stick 727 00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 8: is that this is your best job you've ever had, 728 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 8: then I would question your ability to do what is 729 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 8: best for your decision making because if it's the most 730 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 8: money you've made and it's the biggest title you've had, 731 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 8: then are you willing to fire yourself? Because we're all 732 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 8: somewhat self employed, but we have a whole bunch of 733 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 8: shareholders across our state, and we're the chairman of the 734 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 8: board to some degree, so our board can fire us 735 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 8: any given time. But it's pretty hard to be to 736 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 8: be fired because you can get your boats right half 737 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 8: the time. It's either yes or no. It's just how 738 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 8: you articulate yourself and what type of tough boats are 739 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 8: you willing to take. And so for anybody, anybody to 740 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 8: stand up and run great, just had the right motives 741 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 8: to do so. And anybody's sides run, We're going to 742 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 8: sit down, we're going to talk to them, and we 743 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 8: may or may not get involved in the primary. It 744 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 8: really depends. Usually I don't get involved in primaries unless 745 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 8: it's somebody I know personally. Uh, But when they win 746 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 8: the primary, we're all in to get them across the 747 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 8: finish line to let them come be part. 748 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,439 Speaker 7: Of the team. 749 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: Outstanding stuff. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. Congrats to the Sooners. 750 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you had the wrestling shirt on so 751 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: the President didn't come after you too.

It's an amazing environment. I've 760 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 8: never seen anything like that in my life. I want 761 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,760 Speaker 8: to go back just to just to enjoy the environment, 762 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 8: just when they're not playing, you know, the University of Oklahoma. 763 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 2: Outstanding stuff. 764 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: Centaer, We appreciate the time, keep up the good work. 765 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 8: Thanks, see you guys. 766 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:38,760 Speaker 7: Bye.
