WEBVTT - TV: The Trust Factor 0:00:02.440 --> 0:00:05.720 Let's talk about the lack of trust in our institutions tonight. 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:08.480 We have a quick update on all the Fannie Willis 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:11.559 Trump trials stuff, the war on children. Oh, that's coming 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:23.480 up tonight, And I'm right, all right, before we get 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.080 to the trust in our institutions or a lack thereof, 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.320 and what I'm seeing going on in the country right now, 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.440 I think it's important to open up and kind of 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.920 give everyone an update on the Trump trial disaster that 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.120 is this Fulton County mess with Fannie Willis and her 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.360 lover and a testimony today. So let me toss it 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:43.960 really quickly over to Josh Hammer. 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:45.280 Let him give you a quick update. 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.519 Josh Hammer of the America on Trial podcast. He's updating 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.239 people every single day on this stuff, and he updates 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:51.919 me here. 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:52.279 He is. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.920 An absolutely explosive day in Donald Trump's legal cases throughout 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.560 the country or city where the forigner president appeared in person, 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:07.280 the judge there has confirmed that Alvin Bragg's prosecution of 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.119 the former president for so called hush money payments made 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.080 to Stormy Daniels in twenty sixteen, that trial is going 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.839 to commence in a little over month on March twenty 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.600 fifth that is the most legally frivolous of all of 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.959 Donald Trump's criminal prosecutions, but it is going to be 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.600 the first now formally out of the gate. But even 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.600 bigger than that, the really big news of the day 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.440 down in Fulton County, Georgia, this highly anticipated evidentiary hearing 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.600 in the core room of Fulton County Superior Court Judge 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.240 Scott McAfee. We've been building up to this for a while. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.360 This is the explosive stuff. Fannie Wells and Nathan Wade. 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.959 It's a scandalous affair right out of Hollywood. The big news. 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.679 The big news that we learned today is that it appears, 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.120 based on the testimony of one of Fannie Wills's former 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.760 co workers, that the romantic involvement of Fannie Wills and 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.560 Nathan Wade, her special prosecutor on the Trump case, began 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.880 in twenty nineteen, almost two years before Fannie Wills formerly 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.040 tapped Nathan Wade to be the special prosecutor when it 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.920 came to the prosecution of Donald Trump in November twenty 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.560 twenty one. That is explosive stuff. If that is confirmed, 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.840 and that is contrary to a Nathan Wade and Fannie 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:15.560 Wilson previously said, this case is dead. Donald Trump's getting really, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.960 really lucky in Georgia. If you want to hear more 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.280 on this sort of analysis every single day, go ahead 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.320 and check out my new podcast with the first podcast network, 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.440 America on Trial with Josh Hammer. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.920 There you go. Now you're updated. Now I'm updated. Now 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:36.000 let's talk about America and where we're at now. I 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.800 need to clarify something. What I'm about to describe what 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.040 we're going through as a country right now, it's not 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.400 unique to US. Countries throughout history have gone through exactly this. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.360 When a country gets I hate to use this term, 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:55.840 but it's true, when a country gets on the back end, 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.440 on the back nine, if you will, the later stages. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.120 No, America is not going to go away tomorrow. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.320 But when the country gets on the back end, governments 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:10.120 become extremely corrupt and gross and evil. And what happens 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.000 is the people separate from their government. They no longer 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.160 feel connected and look, the government feels the same way. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.400 Government turns against the people. People turn against the government. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.120 They separate from each other, almost like they're two totally 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:29.239 separate entities. I saw something yesterday. It was encouraging, yet 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:34.079 also discouraging. Let me explain, Mike Turner, Republican congressman out 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.839 of Ohio. We all woke up to the news, wake 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.520 up one day, and we're told that there is a 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.520 national security threat, some sort of imminent national security threat. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:49.680 It was very cryptic. There weren't any details, and nobody 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.760 freaked out. Nobody, not a single person I saw freaked out. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.360 Jake Salivan gets on, gets in front of the podium, 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.320 and he added fuel to the fire. There were has 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.520 asked them, Hey, Jake, what's with this national security threat warning? 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.280 And Jake Sullivan said, well, I mean, I don't know 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.720 that it's the end of the world. And the reporter goes, well, 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.000 could you assure us that Americans are safe? 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.320 And he basically said, well, no. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:19.279 I don't have that assurance. ABC News comes out and 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.800 says it's about Russia. Russia's putting nukes in space. And 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.400 still through all this, throughout the day, I did not 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.200 encounter a single person in my personal life or anywhere 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.280 else that took this seriously. In fact, one hundred percent 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:36.160 of the people I. 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.040 Know did this. Oh gosh, here we go again. 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:45.599 They scoffed, they rolled their eyes. We had warnings from 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:51.360 Jake Sullivan, a congressman, a major media organization that we 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.440 were about to be under attack in some way very cryptic, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:59.240 very eerie, and Americans didn't believe them. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.400 We simply didn't believe it. 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.520 Now, listen, before we keep going into this, let me 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:12.159 explain that's a good thing. The government has turned evil 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:17.480 and corrupt and rotted, and now when they say things, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.440 you shouldn't trust them. When the media comes out and 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.440 says something, you should automatically assume that's a lie, without 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.719 even verifying anything. Assume it's a lie. That's the built 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.839 in response. When the government comes out and says something, 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.640 you should automatically assume they're lying. That should be the 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.680 automatic assumption. And it's good that we're getting there as 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.920 a society, but it's also bad that we're getting. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.040 There as a society. Let me explain. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.120 Once that separation occurs between the government and the people, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.680 which is where we are now, very clearly, once that 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:58.200 separation occurs, it's very very very very very difficult, maybe impossible, 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:03.279 but very difficult to humpty dumpty back together again, because 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.120 it's not in an evil government's nature to try to 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.520 earn your trust back And that's really the only way 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.760 to get trust back, right, is you have to earn it. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.560 If you screw up with someone in your life, kid 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.680 or husband, wife, whatever, the business partner, whatever it may be, 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.960 and you do something that violates trust or they lose trust, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:25.200 the only way to get it back is to earn it. 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.960 And it takes time. It would take the government having 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:34.400 to be really open with us, holding themselves accountable, trial 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.000 after trial after trial for government official, FBI agent, politician, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:43.279 these evil CDC doctors. It would take that to earn 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.320 our trust back. That's what it would take to put 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.920 Humpty Dumpty back together again. But an evil, corrupt government 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:55.680 doesn't do that. They've never done that. What happens is 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.360 when the people separate themselves from the government from an 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:04.719 evil governm the government, it doubles down and triples down 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.640 almost every time on everything that cost them the trust 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.560 to begin with. So it's good that you don't believe 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.720 it when these people tell you lies. At the same time, 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.440 it spells trouble for our country. And let's talk about 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:21.960 something else. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:24.480 What if that. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:30.800 Threat was real? Could have been right? Right, it could 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.640 have been. It could have been for the first time 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.160 and forever that they were telling the truth. Oh my gosh, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.840 there's a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. That would be 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.679 something that would be a big deal and we would 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:49.240 need to act right. But the problem is the trust 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.960 has been so violated for so long, We're never going 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.400 to believe them even when it is real. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.080 I mean, look, look, who are you gonna believe? 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.880 CIA. Look, we have confirmation now courtesy of New York 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:07.680 Posts many other things about what the Central Intelligence Agency 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.560 and the FBI did against Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.680 And I want to make sure everyone understands this, and 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.840 I'm sure you do. Donald Trump was a private citizen, 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.440 not in office, not a politician yet running to be president, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.160 running to be president, a private citizen running to be president, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:32.600 and underneath President Barack Obama, the intelligence agencies of this 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:39.000 country and the FBI decided to build a narrative that 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.800 would hurt Donald Trump, that would give them the authority 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.200 to spy on a private citizen who happens to be 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.760 the political opponent of the then sitting president. This is 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:57.200 such a staggering scandal. This should result in five hundred 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.640 people going to federal prison for the rest of their lives. 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.080 That's how damaging things like this are for a nation. 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.160 It should be CIA agent after FBI agent after politician 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.840 on public trial right now, facing life in prison. 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:13.920 To save the country. 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.360 You may say, right now, Jesse, that's harsh, Jesse, that's 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.280 being over the top. I'm telling you right now, that's 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.400 the only way to save the country. That's the level 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.880 of accountability we will need in order to put Humpty Dumpty. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:31.720 Back together again. But they're not going to. And look 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.320 the Russian collusion stuff. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.760 Let's talk about media, government officials. So I want to 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.440 give credit to May's more for this. Just look at this. 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.640 How could you ever trust these people with anything? 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:48.920 Again, maybe the biggest lie of all, repeatedly and with 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.280 no facts to back him up, making the outrageous claim 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.280 that the so called deep state spied on his campaign. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:56.640 He did it again today. 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.960 But I hope it's not true, but it looks like 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:00.360 it is. 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:02.000 It's not true. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.440 Let's get it's a lie. Did the intelligence community spy 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.200 on on President Trump and his campaign? 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:10.200 No, we did not. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.240 This is not just an angry president popping off. This 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.080 is a deliberate and coordinated effort to save his presidency, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.640 to cast doubt on the Russian investigation by repeating a lie, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.640 repeating it every chance he gets. And that repetition is 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.360 a key part of the strategy here because if you 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.920 hear him say the same thing over and over and over, 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:33.280 it gets into your head. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.040 How could you ever trust these people with anything? 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:38.360 Again? 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.560 If those people got on camera right now and said, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.040 the Russians have already fired a nuclear weapon. You have 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.760 five minutes to get to a bunker get safe, would 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.520 you believe a single word of it? No, you wouldn't. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.720 Of course you wouldn't, and you shouldn't. Let's talk about 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.320 the medical institutions of this nation. What if what if 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:04.120 we get a virus that really is a killer and 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:08.000 I mean fifty percent mortality kind of killer, bubonic playing 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.080 type thing. Those diseases, those viruses have always existed in 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.680 some form. What if what if one actually got here, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.360 landed on the shores of Florida. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:18.600 It's working its way through the country. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:24.760 How could you believe anyone after what they did and 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.400 what they said during COVID. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.960 Everyone should be afraid of COVID ching. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.320 You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:34.000 you free. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.760 I can't come in, mom, It's there. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.040 It's because of this flu thing. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.200 We won't be free of this pandemic until we listen 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.160 to the acknowledged truth. 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.440 Listen to the scientists. 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:48.559 Science is truth. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.120 You know, science is truth. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.720 What is the impact to public health when people are 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.160 openly questioning the science? 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.200 Now is the time to do what you're told. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.680 By not hearing the truth, by not listening to the scientists, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.240 they are prolonging how bad the economy will be. 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.280 Well, I see somebody out in the world who's not 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.679 wearing a mask, I instantly think you. 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:12.280 Are a threat. 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.840 Seek out the scientists and listen to their advice. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.079 Listen to scientists. 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.959 Listen to the scientists, Trust the experts. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.960 We're going to trust science. We're going to trust the experts. 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.960 Parents who say, well, I need to do my own 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.560 research makes you think of that cartoon I saw the 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.720 tombstone that said I did my own research. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:34.079 If some jerk exposed my mother to COVID because they 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.920 didn't want to wear a mask, I would want to 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.640 kill them. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.440 I want to make sure I give credit to Tom 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:46.400 Elliott Agravian for putting that montage together. But what if 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.600 that new deadly disease gets here and those people ran 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.120 to the television and tried to tell you about it. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.600 You wouldn't believe them, And it's good. Again, I want 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.400 to stress it's good that you wouldn't believe them. However, 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:07.800 a nation's people and their relationship with its institutions is 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:12.319 everything for the country. We have separated and we continue 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.680 to do so, and the only way to put it 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:21.200 back together is government accountability. Will we get that? History 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.200 says we will not. We can hope and pray that 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.120 maybe we can make that happen here so we can 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.640 save this whole thing. All that may have made you uncomfortable, 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.439 But I am right. John Daniel Davidson is going to 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.839 join us next and talk a little bit more about 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.640 trust and institutions. Before he gets here to tell us 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.720 about that, let me tell you about trusting lone Star 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:45.480 Transfer with your business. You want out of your time share, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.640 I know you do. Everyone does. Now can't even get 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.000 in this stupid thing anymore. The annual fees have doubled. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:50.680 I know. 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:58.079 Lone Star Transfer. They're ninety nine percent successful getting people out. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:03.640 Over eighteen thousand homeowners have legally timeshare owners have legally 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.880 and permanently gotten out because they made a phone call. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.120 Look, you can't do this. I can't do this. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:10.839 I don't know how to get out of all this. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.280 This is what lone Star Transfer does, a family business 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.400 that has been doing this for a long time. You're 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.280 not stuck. Stop writing that check to that time share 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.720 you don't use and call Loan Star Transfer and let 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:25.680 them set you free. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:26.240 All right? 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:31.360 Eight four four three one zero two six four six 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:32.880 call them, We'll be back. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.000 The impeachment inquiry is underway, sparked by a complaint from 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:51.560 someone within the intelligence community. It feeds the President's concern 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.720 and often use term about a deep state being there 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:56.400 to take. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:03.280 Out Thank god for the deep state. With all of 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.160 the people who knew what was going on here, it 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.320 took an intelligence offer to step officer to step forward 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:10.600 and say something about. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:11.520 It, which was the. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.960 Trigger that then unleashed everything else. Now, why does that happen? 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.760 What of tell American people why that happens is this 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.560 is the institution in the US government that, with all 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:28.880 of its flaws and it makes mistakes, is institutionally committed 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.200 to objectivity and to telling the truth. 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:37.200 Oh well, man, I feel so much better now. They're 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.880 the ones who know the truth of the CIA. If 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.920 they want to destroy a man running for president, just 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:43.880 trust them. 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.040 That always works out well. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.840 Joining me now, John Daniel Davidson of the Federalist author 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:54.240 of the book Pagan America, John, these people. What blows 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:57.400 me away is not that they're evil, I know, evil 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.560 people exist, is that they all see themselves as being 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.120 the good guy. It's wild to me to hear a 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.200 CIA director say that and think, Wow, I'm the good 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.400 guy here. I know. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.840 It's very rare that these people actually just come out 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.080 and say what they think. They think that they have 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.360 a right to rule this country and to rule over 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.560 you and I, and that if we object to that 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.840 at all, we're the enemies of truth and objectivity. We 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.080 have to be destroyed and silenced because they're here to 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.240 protect us and govern us and it's their right to 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.240 do so, that's what they really think, And every once 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.280 in a while actually just come out and say it. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.120 John, you have a great piece up in the Federalists. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:37.160 I want people to go read. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.640 Our most serious national security threat isn't Russian nukes in space, 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.560 it's intelligence agencies in Washington. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:44.880 John. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.680 I remember a line from a movie that I actually loved. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.480 Everyone else hated called the Good Shepherd when they're building 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.160 the CIA and he looks at a guy and he 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.280 tells him, I really want this to be America's eyes 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.600 and ears. I'm worried it's going to become America's heart 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:57.400 and soul. 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.360 It did. How did that happen? 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.040 Well, Look, the intelligence agencies are the number one threat 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.560 to our republic, our number one national security threat. They 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.920 have very clearly been turned against the American people from 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.480 the moment the American people did something that they were 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.439 not supposed to do, and that was elect Donald Trump 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.280 to the presidency. Ever since then, our intelligence agencies, and 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.520 evidence of this comes out more and more seemingly by 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.200 the week now, are basically at war with the American people. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.760 They were at war with the Trump campaign before he 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.840 ever won the White House. They went to war with 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.840 his administration, and then they went to war with his 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.320 supporters beginning immediately after the twenty twenty election. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.000 And they're still at it. 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.919 So you have to follow Washington politics a little bit 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.679 too closely for your own good to know what the 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:52.000 Russian nukes and space thing is about. But suffice to say, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.120 they are trying to distract us from the fact that 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.840 they not, whatever Russia's doing, are the real enemies here 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.000 and the real opponents of freedom and self government and 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.600 our Republican way of life. 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:12.640 John, Why what was it about Trump that they found 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.919 so threatening? And I'm not saying everyone has to be 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:16.080 some kind of Trump super fan. 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:17.520 I'm not. He's got plenty of flaws. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.080 But they all reacted to him like he was poison 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.280 in their mouths and they had to get it out 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.960 at any cost. And he was a guy, he still 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.280 is a guy who's really kind of moderate. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:30.200 He's a deal maker. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.200 He was always ready to strike a deal, and they 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:36.520 acted like he was Francisco Franco. What was it that 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:37.639 scared them so much? 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.080 I think the phrase that explains a lot of this 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.320 is something that came up during the impeachment here, the 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:51.480 first impeachment of Trump, which was interagency consensus. Trump went 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:56.960 against the interagency consensus on Ukraine, on Israel, in the 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.800 Middle East, on NATO, on a whole most of things 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.840 that are near and dear, to the Internet, to the 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.800 intelligence community's heart. And they can't abide a president who 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.800 cares that he's elected by the American people. The foreign 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.120 policy and a lot of these other issues, but they 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.680 feel belonged to them, and if a president, or if Congress, 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.440 or if anybody else goes against what they have decided 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.280 should be US policy, they will go to war with 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.560 that person. And that's what they did with Trump because 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.280 he was not on board with the interagency consensus. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.280 You wrote a piece about Mitch McConnell in Ukraine, and 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.040 this is another human being I find fascinating. I can't 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.600 stand him, especially anymore over the past few years, but 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.680 I find it so fascinating the two things he did. 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.480 One an amnesty bill with foreign aid, and then he 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:48.480 dropped the amnesty thing and then he just went with 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.160 foreign aid. Never a thought about America at all, didn't 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.480 even Honestly, the most impressive thing was he didn't even pretend, right, 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.400 it didn't even really pretend it was like about America, 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:00.880 what's much McConnell's deal. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.639 Yeah, His whole thing was, you can have a Ukraine 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.800 aid and plus immigration amnesty. Oh you don't want that, Okay, Well, 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.959 just Ukraine aid. Then that was his His compromised position 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.320 on the border was to grant two million illegal immigrants 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.320 per year and authority for the president to suspend the 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.320 whole thing whenever he wanted to. That was his compromised position. 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:26.280 These people do not care at all about the border. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.080 They like illegal immigration, They want more illegal immigration. As 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.240 far as Mitch McConnell's concern, the Biden administration policy on 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.080 the border has been a huge success because the number 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.680 of illegal immigrants is at an all time high. They 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.919 like that. That's good for them as far as they're concern. 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.719 Representative Jerry Nadler a couple of weeks ago sort of like, 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.919 you know, accidentally said the truth in a hearing. He 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.159 was like, if we don't have illegal immigrants from that, 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.080 you know, our vegetables are going to rotten the ground. 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.439 They see illegal immigrants as like an underclass, like a 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:59.879 servant class that needs to come in and displace American citizens. 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.080 Uh and and basically be you know, subjects that serve 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:05.679 them the ruling class. 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:07.160 And and uh and. 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.800 So we really see in this whole debate where McConnell's 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.200 priorities lie, and they don't lie with the at the border. 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.560 There. He's concerned about Ukraine. 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.520 That's the most important thing he can do legislatively in 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:19.040 his mind. 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:22.479 I think it impeached Biden. 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.280 I realize our majority is basically gone now that we 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.840 got rid of that dastardly George Santos and we have 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:32.600 a Democrat there McCarthy retired. And but I'm gonna get impeached. 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:34.840 I mean, it's looking bad for him, but we don't 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.879 have the numbers to do it. Yeah, I don't think 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:38.280 he is. 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:40.040 I you know, I think, and I wrote the other 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:43.320 day that the reasons to impeach him keep stacking up now, 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.159 but I don't think there's going to get any movement 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.320 on any of them. There's already ample evidence to impeach 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.479 him for his family corruption that they've been working on 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:53.680 that for quite some time. 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:58.320 Uh And and you just see the GOP lawmakers. 0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.480 That are you know, the things they've said about that 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:02.240 probe is, Oh, it's a mess, Oh it's convoluted. 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:03.879 Well, yeah, it's convoluted. 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:08.920
