00:01:18.000 What Joe Biden did on the last day of his presidency is one of the most repulsive, disgusting, scum-of-the-earth actions we've ever seen from a leader, let alone a president of the United States.
00:01:33.000 Joining us now is Garrett Ziegler.
00:01:35.000 Garrett, welcome back to the program.
00:01:36.000 You are the man behind the Marco Polo project.
00:01:39.000 That is marcopolo501c3.org.
00:01:42.000 In some ways, Garrett, this is a vindication because you've been saying the whole family was involved in this stuff.
00:01:47.000 They said no, and they were so worried that he needed to pardon his whole family.
00:01:51.000 We're going to have another guest on tomorrow, Andrew, about Fauci and Milley because we also need to address that.
00:01:56.000 So I don't want to do that with you, Garrett.
00:01:57.000 That's a whole separate category.
00:01:59.000 What did Joe Biden do in the last 15 minutes of his presidency?
00:02:04.000 Well, it was astounding.
00:02:06.000 I went and looked at the PDF document that the pardon attorney at the DOJ put out, and it said that the pardon for Sarah Biden, which is his sister-in-law, Jimmy's wife, his sister Valerie, her husband John, and both of his brothers, Jimmy and Frankie, was signed on the 19th.
00:02:24.000 But that PDF Only was released on the website at 11.30, right when, even after the motorcade had arrived at the Capitol.
00:02:32.000 What this means is, and I'm not sure we're going to find it in FOIA, because the executive officer of the president isn't subject to FOIA number one, and number two, I think it was a phone call.
00:02:41.000 They made sure, they deliberately told the pardon attorney, do not put this online until 1130 because he signed both Millie and the J6 scammers on the 19th as well.
00:02:54.000 But he specifically told them not to publish this till 1130 a.m. with 30 minutes left.
00:03:00.000 You know, the funny thing is, Charlie, we don't have Valerie or John from the laptop – I'm not saying they didn't commit crimes.
00:03:08.000 Of course they did.
00:03:09.000 Joe pardoned them.
00:03:09.000 But on the laptop itself?
00:03:11.000 His sister Valerie and her husband John, there's no evidence of criminal activity by them on the laptop.
00:03:17.000 What this means is there's a lot of scummy stuff, lobbying, unregistered lobbying.
00:03:21.000 But that means that Joe is aware of things not on this laptop, which means it's not in our report, that they did.
00:03:29.000 Now, Frankie...
00:03:31.000 Jimmy, the brothers, there's multiple felonies for them.
00:03:34.000 And I don't know how Jimmy's wife, Sarah Jones-Biden, still has her bar license.
00:03:40.000 She's still barred in Maryland and D.C. And she did...
00:03:43.000 Unconscionable things compared to Rudy and John Eastman and Jeff Clark, all of whom have tentatively lost their bar license.
00:03:51.000 So I think it is a vindication, number one.
00:03:54.000 But number two, I wanted to talk about the time frame.
00:03:57.000 Hunter got January 1st, 2014, complete federal immunity to December 1st of 2024. Incredibly, his siblings got even more than that.
00:04:07.000 His siblings got up to January 19th of 2025, just three days ago.
00:04:12.000 So that means that all of his family members, his son and both of his brothers and sisters, his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, six individuals, received more time in terms of federal immunity than even Richard Nixon, twice the length.
00:04:28.000 I just figured out the number of days that Richard Nixon got it for.
00:04:32.000 August 9th.
00:04:33.000 January 20, 1969 to August 9, 1974. That is half of the federal immunity that all of Joe Biden's closest six individuals on planet Earth just received.
00:04:45.000 So unprecedented isn't even a strong enough word.
00:04:50.000 Unprecedented just means that something new has occurred that is likely to set a new precedent, right?
00:04:57.000 I don't think there will be a repeat of this.
00:04:59.000 This will be a one-off.
00:05:00.000 I don't think they'll receive any.
00:05:02.000 So, Garrett.
00:05:03.000 Let's take a step back.
00:05:04.000 I got to slow this down a little bit.
00:05:06.000 I read the pardon.
00:05:07.000 I didn't know who half these people were.
00:05:09.000 So you said this kind of in passing.
00:05:12.000 Who are these people that received pardons and why are wives receiving preemptive pardons going back a decade?
00:05:18.000 So these pardons, three of the five are Joe's siblings.
00:05:23.000 Joe is the classic.
00:05:25.000 Oldest Irish Catholic son.
00:05:27.000 What that means is he got the most opportunities.
00:05:29.000 Even Jimmy, in an interview, said that Joe got the best cut of meat growing up.
00:05:33.000 So Joe's the oldest, and then followed by Joe is Valerie, the sister, Jimmy, the little brother who was the most involved, who was, if I had to pick any of the five who just got pardoned Charlie, Jimmy was the one who most needed it.
00:05:47.000 And then the littlest brother, the most pathetic Biden by any metric, Frankie.
00:05:54.000 Those are his three siblings.
00:05:55.000 Now, the other two individuals were the spouses of those first two.
00:06:01.000 Valerie's married to John Owens, and John Owens was Joe's law school roommate and best friend at Syracuse.
00:06:07.000 So the president's best friend at Syracuse Law, John Owens, married his sister Valerie, but he also just got a pardon.
00:06:15.000 The Syracuse law school class of 1966 should have a scarlet letter around its neck for eternity because they're probably the only law school class out of Syracuse to have an unconditional pardon given to one of its graduates.
00:06:31.000 And then there's Sarah Jones Biden, the wife of Jimmy.
00:06:36.000 Like I said, only three of these five individuals do we have evidence from the laptop.
00:06:45.000 That means that Joe is aware in the case of Valerie and John Owens of criminal activity that they engaged in outside of the laptop.
00:06:57.000 So there's stuff that – and only Jimmy and Sarah have been contacted by the congressional committees.
00:07:05.000 They're the only ones who Comer and folks wanted to talk to.
00:07:09.000 So that means that – Frankie and all these other three individuals, they know something that the public still doesn't know.
00:07:18.000 And, you know, there are two other laptops that belong to Hunter, which we go into on our report, that we don't have access to.
00:07:23.000 One of which was picked up by the DEA in their raid of Hunter's psychiatrist, Keith Ablow.
00:07:28.000 And the other was stolen by Russian drug dealers in Vegas.
00:07:32.000 So the compromise is still out there.
00:07:36.000 We just have one of the three.
00:07:38.000 So maybe...
00:07:39.000 The pardons for Valerie and John are because of conduct captured in some of those other laptops.
00:07:51.000 So, again, he didn't even have the courage to release this on the morning of the 19th.
00:08:00.000 He didn't even – he thought this was so – He didn't even put it up with Fauci.
00:08:06.000 See, this was actually the correct analysis.
00:08:10.000 They knew that if President Trump knew about this before his inaugural, he would have mentioned it in the inaugural.
00:08:15.000 And that he would have turned around and would have been like, shame on you.
00:08:17.000 And it would have been one of the greatest moments in American history.
00:08:20.000 They knew it.
00:08:21.000 This is where the Biden team said, we have to post this on the website as Trump is taking the stage.
00:08:27.000 And, I mean, you've got to give credit to the Biden team.
00:08:30.000 If you're going to sneak it in, you do it that way.
00:08:32.000 But they were so petrified of a public humiliation, of which it would have been warranted, right?
00:08:37.000 Of which President Trump could have said, listen, I didn't pardon my family when I left office, yet I was a victim of lawfare.
00:08:43.000 And look what this lunatic just did.
00:08:45.000 And like, oh, man, that would have just been that would have honestly been very warranted given the repulsive, disgusting nature of these pardons.
00:08:53.000 So in the interest of time here, Garrett, again, there are names here that I have to Google John T. Owens.
00:08:59.000 He didn't pardon himself.
00:09:02.000 A point that President Trump has astutely now mentioned.
00:09:06.000 Yes, I watched the interview last night with Hannity.
00:09:09.000 I thought it was great.
00:09:10.000 And Trump is right on the money, and it's the reason, by the way, why we dedicated three years to this.
00:09:20.000 Born out by, number one, the pardon.
00:09:23.000 Number two, the conduct on the laptop.
00:09:25.000 It's that this was a RICO operation.
00:09:27.000 So Joe was the unindicted, not just co-conspirator, Joe was the unindicted leader of the RICO conspiracy.
00:09:35.000 And they were monetizing in, I think the RICO statute is 18 U.S.C. 1961. In that federal statute, he is the...
00:09:47.000 Valuable asset being monetized.
00:09:50.000 He is the human equivalent of the cocaine trade in Colombia in the 1970s.
00:09:57.000 I know it sounds crass, but that is literally what they were doing.
00:10:02.000 One of the five individuals, his sister, his best friend, according to his biographers, she was the manager of every single campaign for Joe in the Senate, all six of them.
00:10:12.000 And she was the manager for his failed presidential campaigns in 1988. So that means that every vendor that Joe Biden ever used in campaigns, all that money was funneled to Valerie's political consulting firm called Joe Slated White.
00:10:31.000 This isn't the case of an innocent spouse, right?
00:10:36.000 There's actually federal laws about claiming innocent spouse, especially with tax returns.
00:10:44.000 A lot of wives in American history, especially mobsters, have tried to claim that.
00:10:48.000 With Valerie, she is not like that.
00:10:50.000 She was the head of the political consulting operation, and everything, their sinecures and their positions relied on Joe's Senate seat.
00:11:00.000 And again, I'm not for necessarily everybody going to college, of course.
00:11:05.000 But Jimmy has no practical skills either.
00:11:09.000 It's one thing if you don't go to college, right, and you have street smarts, you're quick-witted, you don't need it.
00:11:15.000 Jimmy, on the other hand, just from reading the emails, Charlie, has the communication skills like a sixth grader.
00:11:22.000 So he's not even impressive in his own right.
00:11:26.000 It would be one thing if the Bidens grifted and were very...
00:11:30.000 Adept and suave people and articulate, right?
00:11:33.000 But they're not even that.
00:11:35.000 They're the worst version of Joe, the gaffe machine.
00:11:38.000 So that makes it, that ups the ante and makes us sing even more of a comedy.
00:11:42.000 Because it's one thing to be corrupt, but impressive.
00:11:45.000 They're not even impressive.
00:11:47.000 And the only reason why we know so much of their criminal activity is because the smartest man Joe says he knows left a laptop at a repair shop.
00:11:56.000 So they have no one else to blame.
00:11:58.000 And, of course, even their pardons, even Jimmy's pardon, Sarah, Valerie, John, Frankie, and Hunter's, has not stopped them from dropping their lawsuit against us.
00:12:08.000 We have a trial scheduled with Hunter in Los Angeles federal court September 6th of this year.
00:12:16.000 With the stock market at record highs, are you confident your portfolio can weather the next big downturn?
00:12:21.000 Market corrections are quick and unforgiving, wiping out hard-earned gains in an instant.

00:13:17.000 So, Garrett, we're not focused on revenge.
00:13:20.000 We're focused on justice.
00:13:22.000 This is such an affront to our traditions, the likes of which...
00:13:26.000 There's nothing ever in the history of the Republic where preemptive pardons are extraordinarily rare.
00:13:30.000 There are two major instances of preemptive pardons in America.
00:13:33.000 The first of which would be Gerald Ford preemptively pardoning Richard Nixon.
00:13:38.000 The second of which would be the preemptive pardons of Jimmy Carter with giraffe dodgers.
00:13:42.000 Those are the two largest instances of preemptive pardons that we've seen in American history.
00:13:49.000 This is a whole different category.
00:13:50.000 We'll handle the Fauci, the Millie, the J6 committee, and the staff tomorrow.
00:13:56.000 Is this the end of criminal exposure and liability for the Biden crime family?
00:14:00.000 At the federal level, probably.
00:14:04.000 I say probably because they could still call Hunter and Jimmy in and they'll likely lie under of.
00:14:11.000 So it's contingent upon Trump's new U.S. attorneys having courage to charge them on perjury charges when they inevitably do lie.
00:14:22.000 So I would urge the Congress...
00:14:26.000 Sarah, she definitely needs to lose her bar license, and she did commit money laundering, but she won't know as much as Jimmy and Hunter.
00:14:33.000 So I would urge the Congress to bring them in, and of course, that immunity ended January 19th.
00:14:39.000 So anything going forward is fair game from a federal level.
00:14:43.000 But one of the great sad stories about this saga is that the Republican AGs and county DAs didn't look and didn't...
00:14:55.000 Basically enforce the law.
00:14:56.000 There's no state-level immunity for Hunter and Jimmy because of these pardons.
00:15:02.000 And every single crime they committed, whether it's drugs, money laundering, prostitution, they all have a local jurisdiction component.
00:15:11.000 Now, to be frank, a lot of these occurred in blue states, a lot in Connecticut, a lot in New York, a lot in D.C., a lot in California.
00:15:18.000 However, Hunter's financial advisor, Edward Pruitt, lives in Fayetteville.
00:15:25.000 Where Bill and Hillary used to teach.
00:15:28.000 That jurisdiction, by virtue of Hunter's financial advisor being there, every single one of these wire transfers that Hunter Biden facilitated using Wells Fargo, it has jurisdiction in Arkansas.
00:15:39.000 Now, there are a couple of them that are still within the statute of limitations.
00:15:44.000 Most of them have passed.
00:15:46.000 Of course, we've gone in and looked at what the statute of limitation is for money laundering in Arkansas.
00:15:50.000 For some offenses, depending on the dollar amount, it's six years.
00:15:53.000 For most, it's five years.
00:15:55.000 So we're getting at the end of that.
00:15:57.000 But I think there was no excuse, and the left figured this out.
00:16:01.000 Now, their cases were ridiculous, and they each had a federal component to them, especially the Stormy Daniels hoax.
00:16:07.000 It's a federal election component.
00:16:09.000 But Hunter and Jimmy Biden's cases are much more clear-cut.
00:16:13.000 They used...
00:16:14.000 Arkansas Wires, namely their financial advisor in Fayetteville, to facilitate transactions which engaged in money laundering.
00:16:23.000 That is undeniable.
00:16:26.000 And if before January 19th somebody heard me say that and they doubted it and they didn't read our 644-page book, I know I sent you guys some copies, they just need to go look at the pardon.
00:16:38.000 They have to cede the breadth of this thing.
00:16:41.000 One more point of privilege I want to bring up.
00:16:44.000 The federal judge in Hunter's Los Angeles case, the same district in which he's suing us civilly, raked Joe over the coals because there is a portion of Joe's pardon to Hunter and his recent pardon of his siblings and their spouses that is not valid, and here it is.
00:17:02.000 When he pardoned Hunter and he pardoned those folks on January 19th, he said the pardon went through the date of the pardon.
00:17:10.000 That is, for a couple of hours, that is unenforceable.
00:17:15.000 What I mean by that is Joe didn't sign these things at 1159. In the case of Hunter, we know that for a fact.
00:17:21.000 We know he signed it around 530 because they announced it at 6. And of course Joe is fed, wiped.
00:17:27.000 And put to bed at about 8.30 every night.
00:17:30.000 So we know he's not up until 11.59 signing these things.
00:17:33.000 For the amount of hours, and this is technical, but just bear with me.
00:17:38.000 For the amount of hours that still were in those two days, and after he signed it, you cannot pardon prospective conduct.
00:17:47.000 So the judge in Hunter's federal case said, it's not going to affect this case, but just for the record.
00:17:55.000 Those six hours that occurred from 6 p.m.
00:17:58.000 to midnight on December 1st, 2024, that's not covered by the pardon, and yet Joe said it was.
00:18:04.000 So he made this mistake again with his siblings.
00:18:07.000 You thought the staff secretary, the Biden equivalent of Will Scharf, the staff secretary, would have made it through the day before.
00:18:16.000 Joe's pardon should have said through January 18th because those hours— It's just pathetic.
00:18:23.000 That's why I wanted to bring it up, is they made the mistake again even after a federal judge excoriated them in the case of Hunter.
00:18:30.000 Garrett, everyone check out marcopolo501c3.org.

00:20:04.000 Raheem, what is your take on the last couple of hours, the last couple of days of this new Trump administration?
00:20:11.000 Well, look, they've clearly hit the ground running, and that was one of the most important things that we were all concerned about on the run-up to January 20th, was how much can you get done, how quickly, how many roadblocks are there going to be from the deep state, the holdovers, so on and so forth.
00:20:26.000 We lived that life in 2016 and saw the massive Sisyphean task.
00:20:32.000 You know, fought by all of the people who went to, in good faith, work inside the White House, work inside the government departments.
00:20:38.000 And after the election, after the victory, after that enormous victory, the entire attention span flipped to how do we actually make these first few days, weeks and months as rewarding as they can be for the American public.
00:20:54.000 So it's great to see.
00:20:55.000 I think, you know, minute upon minute, I seem to be getting notifications from the White House Communications Office, which is...
00:21:01.000 Great, because we were banned from the White House communications list under the Biden regime.
00:21:06.000 So they've reinstated us over at the National Pulse.
00:21:08.000 I know they're putting so many other, including your guys' reporters, in the press briefing room.
00:21:14.000 And I think that is a sign of major amounts of transparency coming out of this administration too.
00:21:19.000 The immigration raids in particular, I want to talk about the United Kingdom, but it's rather remarkable.
00:21:25.000 Even in the first administration, we did not see this kind of shock and awe, this kind of action.
00:21:30.000 Is that correct, Raheem?
00:21:31.000 Yeah, it is.
00:21:32.000 I mean, I think, again, eight years ago, people were really getting to grips with how do these processes operate?
00:21:40.000 And I think within the last four or five years, really, there's become ingrained institutional knowledge in MAGA world that says the processes will work however we want them to work, actually.
00:21:51.000 That's how the left approaches government.
00:21:53.000 And that is how MAGA needs to approach government, too.
00:21:55.000 There has been predominantly...
00:21:57.000 Traditionally, too much appeasement on the Republican side of cutesy little processes and bureaucratic backstops.
00:22:05.000 Well, those times are over.
00:22:07.000 And when you have the yoke, when you have the mantle, when you have the momentum and the wind at your back, a mandate from the public like Donald J. Trump got, then you have to use every single tool in your arsenal to carry out your campaign pledges.
00:22:20.000 So I'm ecstatic, frankly, with the speed and the ferocity with which they're operating.
00:22:27.000 So there is a story here that you warned about many years ago in the United Kingdom where now 1 in 12 people in London is an illegal migrant.
00:22:37.000 You warned about this.
00:22:39.000 I think we have the original tape of when you warned about it, but we will.
00:22:42.000 Let's play 143. Do you know how much youth homicide went up by in London last year?
00:22:47.000 Have you told your viewers that?
00:22:48.000 70%.
00:22:48.000 Have you looked at the mayoral's police and crime report from December the 12th?
00:22:53.000 You look at that, almost every single measure out of 42, only four of them in four categories did crime go down.
00:22:59.000 In every single other area, double-digit rises in crime across London.
00:23:02.000 So you know what?
00:23:03.000 To borrow a phrase from Donald Trump, London's turning into a sh**hole under Sadiq Khan.
00:23:08.000 You predicted it.
00:23:09.000 Raheem, what's going on in the United Kingdom?
00:23:11.000 Yeah, look, you only had to pay attention to what were public details about how London's left-wing mayor Sadiq Khan was running the city into the ground, which I did, but the press didn't want to do it, which is what led to that kind of altercation on Sky News.
00:23:28.000 Never been invited back since, obviously, but you now see today.
00:23:33.000 A London wildly unrecognisable from even 10 years ago.
00:23:37.000 And even 10 years ago, it was wildly unrecognisable from 10 years prior.
00:23:41.000 The idea of public safety has gone out of the window.
00:23:44.000 You're seeing mass stabbing events, shootings.
00:23:47.000 Yes, that's right.
00:23:48.000 We actually have guns and shootings in the United Kingdom, much to the chagrin of the Second Amendment haters out there who use that falsely as an example.
00:23:58.000 And you've got no integration.
00:24:00.000 You've got no assimilation.
00:24:02.000 Anti-culturalism has led to pockets of foreign cities, enclaves, inside our capital.
00:24:11.000 It happens all across Europe.
00:24:12.000 In 2017, I went across Europe and the United Kingdom.
00:24:16.000 I wrote a book called No-Go Zones, which laid everything out.
00:24:19.000 It was, here's what's going to happen in the next 10 years if we don't arrest this immediately.
00:24:25.000 And surely enough, as The Telegraph reported yesterday, the story you allude to, one in 12...
00:24:30.000 People in London now, up to 1 in 12, are illegal migrants.
00:24:37.000 Illegal residents of the United Kingdom.
00:24:39.000 And of course, that comes with a backstop, a plethora of issues with it.
00:24:43.000 A higher level of criminality, higher levels of homelessness, higher levels of violence, sex trafficking, human trafficking, you name it.
00:24:52.000 The illegal migrant population has all of those running rampant in their midst.
00:24:57.000 And we have and we continue to have a mayor and a city government that refuses to do anything about it.
00:25:02.000 That is what you have avoided by electing Donald Trump this time around.
00:25:06.000 So explain this to me, Rahim.
00:25:09.000 Are there people in the United Kingdom that are looking at America with a fair amount of envy that you wish you could bring it back?
00:25:19.000 What is the vibe within your homeland?
00:25:23.000 Yeah, massively so.
00:25:24.000 Look, I remember being probably the first MAGA hat.
00:25:29.000 I was an owner in the United Kingdom back in 2015. And even my closest friends, my most right-wing acquaintances, sort of looked at me side-eyed and said, well, you know, that's all a bit silly, right?
00:25:41.000 And as time has progressed and as people who have seen Donald Trump's track record, his commitment to all of this, how the movement has broadened so much, especially in the last 18, 24 months, you know, much credit.
00:25:56.000 Charlie, to you and your team who have done so much of that hard work that's led to that, they're now looking at it and going, hmm, you know what?
00:26:04.000 You might have had a point with that MAGA hat back in 2015. And I can't tell you now.
00:26:09.000 I see Brits all the time.
00:26:11.000 I saw them on the Tunnel to Towers charity run last year, some of the firemen from over there.
00:26:15.000 I see them all the time now.
00:26:16.000 They go, you know what?
00:26:18.000 We wish we had somebody like Trump over in the UK. Look, it's possible.
00:26:22.000 We know Nigel.
00:26:23.000 We know he's got a big election in 2029, but it's a long way off.
00:26:27.000 Some of President Trump's actions are almost hard to process because they're coming in at such a rapid pace, one of which was a full repeal of affirmative action.
00:26:37.000 Rahim, this would have been an unspeakable concept even five years ago when Trump was president.
00:26:44.000 What changed?
00:26:45.000 We're now on day two or day one.
00:26:48.000 I can't remember.
00:26:48.000 I think it was day two.
00:26:49.000 That President Trump just got rid of all affirmative action hiring practices in the federal government.
00:26:53.000 What changed?
00:26:55.000 Well, what really changed was the mandate, the public mandate for all of this stuff.
00:27:01.000 And you've seen it popping up in places all across the country in smaller scales.
00:27:06.000 Governor DeSantis, for as much as we had to go entering the primary, has done a fantastic job tackling what he calls woke in Florida.
00:27:14.000 And so you've seen the bubbling up, the grassroots.
00:27:19.000 What's the reaction to so much of this stuff?
00:27:21.000 How much money is being spent on it?
00:27:23.000 How many diversity and inclusion officers are there operating?
00:27:27.000 Not just within government, by the way, but within government-sponsored NGOs across the board, State Department, embassies all around the world.
00:27:36.000 And the mandate changed.
00:27:38.000 So Donald Trump was actually given express orders by the voting public to end this stuff.
00:27:44.000 And they just were not there.
00:27:46.000 Five, ten years ago.
00:27:48.000 It wasn't, it was a pre-Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney kind of world.
00:27:55.000 And there has just been so many people who have brought this to Elon Musk and Libs of TikTok and all these guys kind of unveiling this, you know, for the public to actually, you know, really have, this election was like a referendum on that stuff.
00:28:09.000 And en masse, the American public said, get...
00:28:13.000 Get rid of it now.
00:28:14.000 Government should have certain statutory functions.
00:28:18.000 That is not one of them.

00:29:24.000 Raheem, what's going on with the latest news regarding the UK ambassador to the United States?
00:29:31.000 Yeah, it's a really important story, really fascinating sequence of events, because, of course, whether or not people really still think about it, the United Kingdom is America's largest military ally.
00:29:45.000 It is one of America's largest economic trading partners.
00:29:48.000 And so the embassy, the ambassador, and the interoperationality, when you look at...
00:29:53.000 Five eyes, when you look at NATO, when you look at the bilateral information sharing, intelligence sharing that goes on, that's a pretty big deal.
00:30:02.000 There's a reason that the British Embassy is one of the largest in Washington, D.C., and it speaks to the fecklessness and arrogance of the British government that for so long they have appointed ambassadors who are nasty about Donald Trump, who have said horrendous things, who have...
00:30:19.000 Terrible things in their own past.
00:30:21.000 And the latest to be floated for this plenipotentiary position is Lord Mandelson.
00:30:28.000 Now, I don't necessarily expect everyone to remember or know who Lord Mandelson is, but in brief, he was one of the top advisers, known as the Dark Lord, to the left-wing Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1997 onwards to about 2007. He was deeply responsible for Britain's social...
00:30:46.000 An economic decline.
00:30:47.000 He was deeply responsible for drawing the UK closer into the European Union.
00:30:51.000 And so the idea that Keir Starmer, the current prime minister, would shove somebody like Lord Mandelson to the embassy in DC and expect him to be taken seriously is a great affront to President Trump.
00:31:04.000 It's a great affront to the American public and what they voted for.
00:31:08.000 It shows a deep disconnect.
00:31:10.000 of Britain with America right now.
00:31:12.000 And I'm frankly embarrassed about that and apologetic, actually, to all of you about that.
00:31:18.000 You know, Lord Mandelson, with his long-standing, long-reported, by the way, in case you're worried about any libel laws, links to Jeffrey Hepstein.
00:31:26.000 Lord Mandelson, who has said some of the most skullduggerous things about Donald Trump, he simply would not be able, and by the way, still pulls, I believe, a pension from the European Union.
00:31:38.000 So where do his loyalties lie?
00:31:40.000 I don't think he would be an effective ambassador.
00:31:42.000 And now we're hearing that actually, in a relatively unprecedented move, I did some research into this, it may be the case...
00:31:52.000 That Donald Trump actually refuses his credentials, which is in the gift of the receiving country of an ambassador to do, but it's deeply unheard of.
00:32:00.000 I think the last time you guys did it was some corruption scandal in Korea in early 2000s.
00:32:07.000 And before that, it was Iran, Cuba, and before that, it was Nazi Germany.
00:32:14.000 So for that to be considered at that extent actually is...
00:32:19.000 A major, major diplomatic move that we need to pay close attention to.
00:32:23.000 It tells you something.
00:32:24.000 It tells you that it's not business as usual for this incoming Trump administration, and that they're just simply not going to put up with it anymore.
00:32:31.000 They did that the first four years.
00:32:33.000 They had terrible ambassadors.
00:32:34.000 They had terrible situations diplomatically.
00:32:37.000 We don't need another of those situations here, and Lord Mandelson represents that.
00:32:41.000 In closing here, Raheem, we have 1,458, 38 days left.
00:32:47.000 Let me see.
00:32:47.000 1,458 days of this Trump administration to go.
00:32:51.000 That's a lot of time left on the clock.
00:32:53.000 Raheem, what do you want to see done that has not yet been done or addressed?
00:32:58.000 Things, not just signed, but agency directives that you want to see the new Trump administration tackle?
00:33:04.000 It's a great question.
00:33:05.000 I don't know that I've...
00:33:07.000 I've put together a list yet, but I sure would like to resurrect Stephen K. Bannon's old whiteboard from his West Wing office that I believe ended up getting buried in the White House storage in the basement after he left in 2017. There are so many things left on that which remain unticked.
00:33:22.000 I think we have to get our heads around the immigration issue, the legal immigration issue, into the United States because there is such a scam going on with all of that as well.
00:33:33.000 I think it should be relatively...
00:33:36.000 I also think, look, there are plenty of opportunities here, and I know that people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not going to miss out on these.
00:33:44.000 There are plenty of cultural opportunities as America reaches its 250th anniversary, as you're hosting the World Cup.
00:33:51.000 There are all these huge cultural events that are going to be taking place over that thousand plus days that you mentioned that I think you have to embrace.
00:34:00.000 I think you have to inculcate Trumpism, MAGA-ism into the American psyche over these next four years, too.
00:34:08.000 Let's have a McDonald Trump Day, a National Cheat Day, a National Maha Cheat Day for America.
00:34:16.000 Changing the culture is as important as changing the politics, and there's lots of things that can happen between now and then.
00:34:22.000 But listen, you say there's four years.
00:34:24.000 They're not.
00:34:25.000 There's like two years.
00:34:26.000 You've got to get these things done this side of the midterms.
00:34:29.000 Rahim, excellent work.
00:34:30.000 Thank you so much.
00:34:31.000 Thank you.
00:34:32.000 Cheers.
00:34:32.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
