Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt Friday, August twenty sixth edition of the program.
Speaker 1: We have the AffA David has been released with so
Speaker 1: many radactions, but some interesting things to share with you
Speaker 1: from it. I have read it in full and will
Speaker 1: analyze it for you. Somebody used to have a TSSCI clearance,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I've seen this stuff before. And also Mark Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: the CEO of Facebook, more or less tells us yeah,
Speaker 1: FBI interfered in the twenty twenty election suppress the Hunter
Speaker 1: Biden laptop story, using Facebook as the actor, the action
Speaker 1: arm of their suppression effort. We will discuss that and
Speaker 1: then if we have time. Scientists now say that wormburgers
Speaker 1: could solve hunger. Worms pretty gross, I mean crickets, maybe
Speaker 1: I could. I've eaten crickets. I'm not gonna lie. They're okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you put them in guacamole. It's not so bad. Wormburgers
Speaker 1: gross gross stuff. But we'll discuss all this in just
Speaker 1: a second. There's no sign of identity theft slowing down,
Speaker 1: and why should it. More Than fourteen billion dollars were
Speaker 1: stolen from identity theft victims last year alone. To cyber criminals,
Speaker 1: it's a success story, but to the rest of us,
Speaker 1: it's a wake up call. Your personal info is now
Speaker 1: in more places than ever, and all that exposure can
Speaker 1: make it dangerously easy to steal your identity. LifeLock by
Speaker 1: Norton makes it easy to help protect yourself by monitoring
Speaker 1: your identity and alerting you to threats you could miss
Speaker 1: on your own. If you become a victim of identity theft,
Speaker 1: a US based restoration specialist will be dedicated to your
Speaker 1: case and work to fix it now. No one can
Speaker 1: prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,
Speaker 1: but LifeLock by Norton makes it easy to help protect yourself.
Speaker 1: Save up a twenty five percent off your first year
Speaker 1: by going to LifeLock dot com slide buck. That's LifeLock
Speaker 1: dot com slash buck for twenty five percent off LifeLock
Speaker 1: dot com slash buck. Please do check it out. I've
Speaker 1: got it, I've had it for years. I just got
Speaker 1: a notification yesterday that my credit got pulled for something,
Speaker 1: so you know, you want to have LifeLock watching your
Speaker 1: work back. So we've got the affidavit is released, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to analyze it a little bit and then
Speaker 1: tell you what I think the politics of this are
Speaker 1: going to be. So they're saying now that there are
Speaker 1: twenty five top secret documents, over one hundred classified documents
Speaker 1: in the fifteen boxes of information they initially got, and
Speaker 1: so now they're saying they've probably got a whole bunch
Speaker 1: more classified information. We're supposed to think this is a
Speaker 1: really big deal. What I see here that's interesting is one,
Speaker 1: why the lack of urgency. Why would this take months
Speaker 1: and months back and forth with lawyers, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's the FBI got to put on
Speaker 1: their windbreakers in their flat vests, so they and go
Speaker 1: in there and say, you know, out of the way,
Speaker 1: got to secure these documents. The documents were under lock
Speaker 1: and key, with surveillance cameras in place, with Secret Service
Speaker 1: crawling around everywhere. Okay, these documents were not handed out
Speaker 1: to people in Times Square. This is not exactly a
Speaker 1: massive data breach situation. But the National Archives. It is
Speaker 1: all about the National Archives. That's what This really comes
Speaker 1: down to, so a bureaucrat at the National Archives decided
Speaker 1: or a number of bureaucrats decided that they would make
Speaker 1: a referral to the the Department of Justice about improper handling
Speaker 1: of classified information by Donald Trump. And we're supposed to
Speaker 1: believe that this is now after all of the lies
Speaker 1: they told Russia collusion and you know, Trump is hitler
Speaker 1: and the first impeachment, second impeachment. Right, first impeachment was
Speaker 1: over the Ukraine phone call. The second impeachment was over
Speaker 1: the January sixth insurrection. It's a riot. Calm down, lips.
Speaker 1: Now they've finally got it. I look, I'm now pretty confident. Well,
Speaker 1: it's tough because the Libs are insane, and when you're
Speaker 1: dealing with insanity, you can't base your analysis on rationality.
Speaker 1: That then becomes a weakness. But I am of the
Speaker 1: mind that they're not going to charge anybody here, that
Speaker 1: they're just going to say this was naughty, don't do this,
Speaker 1: and then it's a talking point for libs. Trump is
Speaker 1: reckless with national security. I'm starting to think that they
Speaker 1: realize that this would be the political thermonuclear approach to
Speaker 1: bring a criminal prosecution against a president who could be
Speaker 1: the next president again over document storage issues. Document storage issues.
Speaker 1: There's also in the affidavit there's the back and forth
Speaker 1: with Trump lawyers and the National Archives, and this was
Speaker 1: provided the FBI, where then President Trump is taking the
Speaker 1: claim or his lawyers are taking the claim that the
Speaker 1: president can declassify anything you want. I worked in the CIA.
Speaker 1: That was my understanding. We call it real time declassification.
Speaker 1: When a president says the following, no matter what it is,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? You rest the president for
Speaker 1: spilling state secrets? The only accountability you would have for
Speaker 1: what a president says when it comes to classified or
Speaker 1: not is political, meaning people voting for or against that individual.
Speaker 1: You can't actually overrule a president's decision about classification because
Speaker 1: there is no higher authority when it comes to classification.
Speaker 1: And we think of it like if somebody was telling
Speaker 1: me that Buck Sexton's opinion on the following is and
Speaker 1: I said, no, this is my opinion. I win because
Speaker 1: I'm the decider. It's a great push word. And I
Speaker 1: think is decider even formally a word? Do we know?
Speaker 1: Do people actually is it in the dictionary? It should
Speaker 1: be Remember that Bush, I'm the decider. It was great.
Speaker 1: It's a great word. Decision maker is what people usually say,
Speaker 1: but decision maker is such a mouthful. So Trump can
Speaker 1: declassify whatever he wants. And also there's the other part
Speaker 1: of this where the Presidential Records Act from the nineteen
Speaker 1: seventies makes it pretty clear as a matter of statute
Speaker 1: that a president can't be prosecuted for records that are
Speaker 1: taken or in dispute or anything like that, and yet
Speaker 1: they did this FBI rate Anyway, I am starting to
Speaker 1: think that this was some overreach from the crazy Libs,
Speaker 1: but they realize now it would be it would be
Speaker 1: too much to actually bring a prosecution under this. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm giving them too much credit for a rationality
Speaker 1: that they do not have. Maybe I'm I'm miss it's possible.
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I always say nobody can predict
Speaker 1: the future. Predictions are interesting and they're often wrong, something
Speaker 1: to keep in mind. But here we are seeing that
Speaker 1: it looks like they're going to have to pull back
Speaker 1: from this and they're not going to be in a
Speaker 1: position to actually prosecute the president over this. And I'm
Speaker 1: also worried that there's a political component here. We're talking
Speaker 1: about Trump, Marlago, the Ray, the FBI classified documents. You know, well,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about is the economy or anything else. So,
Speaker 1: for example, when the Fed Chair Jerome Powell says that
Speaker 1: the pain is coming for everybody here because of inflation,
Speaker 1: we're just the beginning of it, I think maybe we
Speaker 1: should talk more about things like this. The burdens of
Speaker 1: high inflation fall heaviest on those who are least able
Speaker 1: to bear them. Restoring Chris stability will take some time
Speaker 1: and requires using our tools forcefully to bring demand and
Speaker 1: supply into better balance. Reducing inflation is likely to require
Speaker 1: a sustained period of below trend growth. Moreover, there will
Speaker 1: very likely be some softening of labor market conditions. While
Speaker 1: higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions
Speaker 1: will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain
Speaker 1: to households and businesses. These are the unfortunate us of
Speaker 1: reducing inflation, but a failure to restore price stability would
Speaker 1: mean for greater pain labor markets, labor market issues, economic pain,
Speaker 1: slow down. There's a word for this, a recession. He
Speaker 1: sank to actually deal with the inflation that we see
Speaker 1: to bring price stability. It means the bad things that
Speaker 1: you don't want to have happening in an economy are
Speaker 1: going to happen. Now, the Biden White House is running
Speaker 1: and saying, oh, you know, we're great, we know what's
Speaker 1: going on here, We've got this all under control. But
Speaker 1: it turns out that's not true at all. And I
Speaker 1: do think that the more we talk about the Maro
Speaker 1: Lago ray, the less we talk about the fact that
Speaker 1: Democrats suck at their jobs. They're awful at this, and
Speaker 1: that's an issue that's something that people should be voting on.
Speaker 1: The border the economy, inflation, crime, cod COVID lockdowns, and
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine mandates. That's what people should really be looking
Speaker 1: at right now. That's what people should really be discussing
Speaker 1: and basing their votes off of the Mara Lago raid.
Speaker 1: It's I think to the benefit of Democrats that we
Speaker 1: play defense on Mara Lago, because as long as we're
Speaker 1: playing defense on mar Lago, we're not pointing out that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is like the character from the end of
Speaker 1: a Scooby Doo cartoon who's like, I would have gotten
Speaker 1: away with ruining the economy if it wasn't for you,
Speaker 1: darn kids. This is absurd. This guy is president. He
Speaker 1: always looks like he's confused. I mean, I think he's
Speaker 1: had more facelifts than any you know, rich Orange County
Speaker 1: mom in her seventies you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy what's going on here, and yet
Speaker 1: Orange County, California, it's very fancy, and yet here we
Speaker 1: are being told that we're supposed to be ready for
Speaker 1: a possible criminal indictment Donald Trump. It just doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense. Now, they don't makes sense, and they're crazy,
Speaker 1: and they've done crazy things before. So I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they there's no way. I am not confident they won't
Speaker 1: indict Donald Trump, but I'm starting to think that this
Speaker 1: dog won't hunt. It's not gonna work, not going to
Speaker 1: be to their advantage. They realize that's too bizarre. Meanwhile, Biden,
Speaker 1: speaking of it, he's going on offense. He's going on offense,
Speaker 1: telling everybody he respects some Republicans but not those maga Republicans.
Speaker 1: What's happened is there No, there're not many real Republicans anymore.
Speaker 1: By the way, you're presiding governor. He's a Republican you
Speaker 1: can deal with we disagree. No, no, I'm serious, But
Speaker 1: at least he's within the main stream of the Republican Party.
Speaker 1: I respect conservative Republicans. I don't respect these maga Republicans.
Speaker 1: So what do you think is more likely who is
Speaker 1: more effective at opposing the insane left in this country
Speaker 1: and the Democrat machine that pushes the policies, The maga Republicans,
Speaker 1: the semi fas as Biden calls them, or the complacent
Speaker 1: pat on the head. We don't like to fight too hard.
Speaker 1: We lose gracefully, Republicans of the old establishment GOP. I
Speaker 1: think Biden's told you the answer. I think it's pretty clear.
Speaker 1: But notice how even though he's horrible, he's on offense.
Speaker 1: He's on attack. He's doing a campaign stop basically out
Speaker 1: there doing a press conference speech, whatever. He's attacking the
Speaker 1: other side. Republicans pretty quiet. Not a lot of Republicans
Speaker 1: going around saying Joe Biden's allfull at his job. The
Speaker 1: Democrat policies are insane. This loan forgiveness issue, maybe now
Speaker 1: a trillion dollar colls to the economy. It's a bribe,
Speaker 1: it's not a forgiveness. And then there's the Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: admission of what Facebook did during the election. Will come
Speaker 1: to this in a second. The stock market is causing
Speaker 1: real angs for those invested in stocks. If you're in
Speaker 1: the market right now, you know what I mean. Inflation
Speaker 1: is not good. Gas prices are out of control. Everything
Speaker 1: signals you to think differently about protecting the value of
Speaker 1: your savings account and four oh one K. I've started
Speaker 1: thinking about purchasing gold. It's priced correctly and the value
Speaker 1: of gold has proven to hold its value during times
Speaker 1: like these. We invest a portion of your savings account
Speaker 1: or your four oh one K by the way, into gold.
Speaker 1: You're creating stability by using its value as compared to
Speaker 1: other investment opportunities. I rely on the Oxford Gold Group
Speaker 1: for my gold purchases. They're the industry leader for so
Speaker 1: many reasons, and they've made it easy and convenient and

Speaker 1: Zuckerberg was on the Joe Rogan Show, and he spoke
Speaker 1: about the FBI the suppression of the Hunter Biden store
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty election. Here's what he said. The FBI,
Speaker 1: I think basically came to us some folks on our team.
Speaker 1: It was like, hey, just so you know, like you
Speaker 1: should be on high alert. There was We thought that
Speaker 1: there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen election. We have it on notice that basically there's
Speaker 1: about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that,
Speaker 1: so just be vigilant. The distribution on Facebook was decreased,
Speaker 1: but people were still allowed to share it, so you
Speaker 1: could still share it, you could still consume it. Would
Speaker 1: say the distribution is decreased. It got shared it basically
Speaker 1: the ranking and news feed was a little bit less,
Speaker 1: so fewer people saw it than would have otherwise. So
Speaker 1: it definitely by what percentage, I don't know off the
Speaker 1: top of my head, but it's it's it's meaningful. Who
Speaker 1: do you think that was helping in the election. The
Speaker 1: FBI is telling Facebook watch out for election misinformation. We
Speaker 1: all know that's just co word for whatever Republicans say
Speaker 1: the Democrats are doing, whatever attack ads the GOP is
Speaker 1: running whatever revelations they have that might be costly for
Speaker 1: the Biden regime to be you gotta shut that down. Remember,
Speaker 1: they didn't just shut down a story about hundrew Biden.
Speaker 1: They shut down a true story everyone knows. They've all
Speaker 1: had to admit now because it is so obviously true.
Speaker 1: They shut down a true story before an election. The
Speaker 1: most powerful media entity really in the country, Facebook and Google,
Speaker 1: I would argue, are the two most powerful. They shut
Speaker 1: down a true story because it hurt the Libs, and
Speaker 1: the FBI was pushing them to do that kind of censorship,
Speaker 1: and I think they were. I think that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of winks and nods here with you. You know,
Speaker 1: make sure you get rid of election misinformation. Democrats are
Speaker 1: the ones that are always complaining about election misinformation. We
Speaker 1: just try to win the argument. They're the ones that
Speaker 1: want to silence. They're the ones that want to shut
Speaker 1: everybody else down. But you know, if Democrats want us
Speaker 1: to stop complaining about stolen elections, maybe they should stop
Speaker 1: stealing elections. That would be that would be a good
Speaker 1: starting point for them going forward. Oh and then the
Speaker 1: Wormburger's issues in The New York Post the Libs want
Speaker 1: us to eat wormburgers. I say no because that's gross.
Speaker 1: But this is this climate catastrophism. Absolute control because of
Speaker 1: the science issue just goes to show you these people
Speaker 1: are nuts. And then I also see that doodles are
Speaker 1: more popular. It's National dog Day. They're more popular than
Speaker 1: French bulldogs. What is the world coming to? I'll leave
Speaker 1: it there. Thanks everybody for rolling with. Talk to you
Speaker 1: on Monday. Shield Tie
