00:00:27.000We have a great show for you tonight, a great call in show, call in spectacular.
00:00:32.000And as I noted yesterday during the show, This is our 100 episode anniversary since leaving Right Side Broadcasting Network, since going out, forging my own path.
00:00:45.000And then there was America First Media, and then there was not.
00:00:48.000We've done 100 episodes since late August, since we left the Right Side Broadcasting Network.
00:01:28.000But for that occasion, we have a very special call in show tonight.
00:01:33.000If you want to get in on that, if you want to be a part of that, remember to jump in the Discord.
00:01:38.000And I hope some people post a link in there.
00:01:40.000I think a link for the Discord is in the description, but if not, I'll post it after we get through the memo.
00:01:45.000Before we get to the call in, before we get it to the cozy homie posting, the fan posting, we celebrate all the good times we've had together on the show, all the talk about America First and our great times here on the channel and everything.
00:02:03.000We got to talk about what we've been waiting for for a month, for a little bit longer than a month, actually, since late December.
00:02:11.000And so the memo was finally released today, the Devin Nunes memo that came out of the House Intel Committee.
00:02:17.000It came out this afternoon, or rather, it came out at noon exactly today.
00:02:21.000And we're going to go over exactly what was in there, what it means for the intelligence community, what it means for President Trump, what it means for Democrats, what it means for people like Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, Sally Yates, and others, and all these actors.
00:02:36.000It's looking like I'm a little bit glossy, doesn't it, here in the video configuration?
00:03:10.000It was decided on Monday in a pretty Machiavellian.
00:03:17.000Political move here by Devin Nunes and the Republicans.
00:03:20.000They utilized a 40 year rule for the House committees that they were able to release this memo, obviously with the President's approval, without the Democrats' consent, without them even being informed.
00:03:33.000So on Monday, the Republicans unilaterally put this memo in front of President Trump's desk.
00:03:37.000He had five days to look it over and to sign off on it, look it over and make sure that there are no redactions that needed to be made and make sure that it wasn't obviously jeopardizing national security or anything like that.
00:03:51.000So it was put on President Trump's desk on Monday.
00:04:02.000This is something that we've been talking about for a long time.
00:04:04.000And this intelligence is based in large measure.
00:04:08.000This is a small sample, a taste of the upcoming Inspector General report, which we'll get into that a little bit after we review the memo.
00:04:16.000But let's look at actually the contents of the memo.
00:04:20.000And there was a lot of fluster on the Democrat side, there was a lot of anxiety on the Democrat side.
00:04:25.000We talked about this at length yesterday that Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, FBI Director Chris Wray, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, all kinds of people from both sides of the aisle, from the bureaucracy, from the Congress, were clamoring all week, telling people that this is not the whole story, it's totally inaccurate, they altered it, don't publish it, it'll undermine national security.
00:04:49.000People are up in arms on the Democrat side, among the bureaucrats in the intelligence community.
00:04:54.000We had Adam Schiff losing his mind on Wednesday evening.
00:04:58.000Saying that there were alterations made and it came out that was nonsense, and so on and so on.
00:05:03.000And against all the protestations of these different people, or is that a word?
00:05:09.000Against all the protests of these different people, President Trump released the memo.
00:05:16.000You can go out and read the full document, it's very short.
00:05:19.000And this is actually a huge strategic benefit for us in the sense that the Democrats are talking about releasing a 10 page memo in response.
00:05:28.000And that'll probably be more like 12 pages because this one, they said it was four pages.
00:05:32.000It ended up being something like six, I believe.
00:05:35.000So the benefit here with this memo is it's short, it's to the point, it's direct, and it's so damning.
00:06:01.000That this was building up for a week and that this was the talk of the town, not just in Washington, D.C., but on social media for a long time, for two weeks, and it really heightened and got hyped up this week.
00:06:13.000You had everybody reading it this afternoon.
00:06:16.000I don't know if people are watching this on Twitter when it got released, but you should have seen it.
00:06:21.000Every other tweet was this is the full text of the memo.
00:06:32.000And basically, the summary of the memo is that the Obama Justice Department in October of 2016 got a FISA warrant.
00:06:43.000They went to a FISA court and they got a warrant to spy on Carter Page, who's a part of the Trump campaign.
00:06:51.000And so the Obama Justice Department went to the FISA courts, and usually the FISA courts are very accommodating with the president in terms of if you go there and you apply for a warrant to spy on somebody, chances are you're going to get it.
00:07:03.000If you present A reasonable suspicion that there's an impropriety, that there's a threat to national security, you pretty much get your warrant.
00:07:12.000And the Obama administration, from what I understand, they applied for a warrant.
00:07:15.000This wasn't in the memo, but they applied for a warrant in June of 2016.
00:07:18.000This is before Trump had even won the nomination at the convention, and they rejected it.
00:07:23.000They did an investigation and they found there was no credibility to the application for the warrant, and they rejected it.
00:07:29.000Well, the Obama administration came back in October and said, well, now we have the steel dossier.
00:07:36.000This Trump Russia dossier that was put together by British spy Christopher Steele, which alleges, among many other things, this connection between the Trump campaign and Moscow and some other salacious lies and rumors and things.
00:07:51.000And so, using this dossier in large measure, the FISA courts approved the Obama Justice Department's application for a warrant to spy on Carter Page in the Trump campaign, which that's a very serious affair.
00:08:06.000If Barack Obama is a political ally of Hillary Clinton, they're both Democrats.
00:08:11.000And the Obama Justice Department is now spying on Hillary Clinton's opposition in an election year a month before the election concludes.
00:08:20.000If you apply for that warrant, you better be damn sure there's a very serious threat that you're going to have that kind of what looks to be an overreach of executive authority.
00:08:31.000So that's basically the summary Obama went to the FISA courts with this warrant with the Steele dossier, and that's how he got it.
00:08:39.000In this memo, it says that the Steele dossier, when they came, To the FISA courts with this dossier, they left out all kinds of pertinent details as to how we went about building the Steele dossier.
00:08:51.000They left out, for example, the fact that Christopher Steele was paid over $160,000 by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to put together this derogatory information on Trump's connection to Russia.
00:09:06.000So Obama's Justice Department goes to the FISA courts and they say, here, we have this document from Christopher Steele, a British spy.
00:09:13.000That alleges this connection between Trump and Moscow, and that's why we need to spy on Carter Page.
00:09:18.000They leave out the fact that all of this information was bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, which is kind of relevant, is running against Donald Trump in the presidential election in a month from when they applied for the FISA warrant.
00:09:33.000They left out the source of the funding.
00:09:35.000They left out the fact that Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS were the people that authorized Christopher Steele to go and get this memo.
00:09:44.000These were the people that Christopher Steele was working for.
00:09:47.000The Carter FISA application also relied heavily on a Yahoo News article.
00:09:53.000So, not only did the FISA warrant rely on the Trump dossier, you know, they said, here's the Trump dossier.
00:09:59.000They left out the fact that it was paid for by the Clinton campaign, they left out the fact that it was bought and paid for under the order of Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson.
00:10:10.000But then they also used a Yahoo News article to bolster the claims made in the dossier.
00:10:17.000And if you don't believe the dossier, Check out this Yahoo News article from September, which it's kind of important to note.
00:10:23.000They didn't tell the FISA courts this, but the Yahoo News article was based on information that Christopher Steele leaked to Yahoo News.
00:10:33.000So they come forward and they say, here's this evidence by Christopher Steele.
00:10:37.000And if you don't believe the evidence by Christopher Steele, here's a Yahoo News article, which was constructed using information from Christopher Steele.
00:10:47.000They left out the fact that Christopher Steele was terminated from the FBI.
00:10:51.000After the application was granted, even though he should have been terminated back in September.
00:10:55.000So, Christopher Steele was terminated from the FBI on October 30th.
00:11:00.000The application was made on October 26th.
00:11:03.000So, the FBI fired this guy four days after they used his intelligence to apply for the warrant, even though a month before, in late September, before they even applied for the warrant, Christopher Steele was leaking information.
00:11:17.000And that was the same reason why he got fired four days after the application.
00:11:21.000So, he should have been uncredited, he should have not been credible from the beginning.
00:11:25.000The FBI knew that he was leaking information, or this wasn't disclosed to the FISA courts.
00:11:30.000And so, you know, from the beginning, from September, this guy was not a credible source.
00:11:35.000He broke the number one cardinal rule of source handling, which is confidentiality.
00:11:41.000In September, he was leaking information to the press, and this makes him not a credible source.
00:11:46.000He's not keeping his information confidential, and yet they went ahead and they used his intelligence to form the basis of the dossier to get their warrants.
00:11:54.000And four days later, they fired him for the very act that he did a month ago.
00:11:58.000So they knew he was not credible, but they got the application anyway, fired him for the same improprieties afterwards.
00:12:04.000Steele had texted then Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Orr.
00:12:21.000Bruce Orr, or excuse me, was working for the DOJ.
00:12:24.000So Bruce Orr was a part of the Obama Justice Department who applied for this warrant using the Steele information to spy on the Trump campaign.
00:12:35.000Not only was he being paid by the Democrats, not only was he leaking information to the press, not only was he working for Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson, not only is the information that he used to bolster his dossier also based on information that he fabricated, but also he had texted the same Justice Department that was applying for the warrant that it was a personal passion of his that Donald Trump not get elected.
00:13:00.000Does anybody see a possible conflict of interest there?
00:13:04.000And these text messages are publicly available, and they have to be because they're government text messages.
00:13:09.000And Bruce Orr knew full well this bias and did not disclose it to the FISA courts.
00:13:16.000And if that isn't enough, folks, Bruce Orr's wife, Bruce Orr works in the Justice Department.
00:13:22.000Justice Department goes to the FISA courts and says, let's get a spy warrant on Donald Trump to spy on him based on the Steele dossier.
00:13:31.000Steele dossier was commissioned by Fusion GPS, the company.
00:13:40.000She's feeding him information all the while.
00:13:44.000From her own opposition research for Fusion GPS, which she is being paid for by the Clinton campaign to Bruce Orr, who works in the Justice Department, to get a warrant on Donald Trump to spy on his campaign.
00:13:58.000Does anybody see a little something wrong here?
00:14:01.000Does anybody see a little conflict of interest here?
00:14:05.000That Bruce Orr, he works for the Justice Department, he's going to the courts, he's saying, Look, I am a public servant and I am not biased, I am not partisan.
00:14:16.000I want to look into the Trump campaign.
00:14:19.000We need to spy on him because I believe that there is a Trump Russia connection.
00:14:23.000Because Christopher Steele, who works for Fusion GPS, told me so.
00:14:27.000And he left out the fact that Christopher Steele is hired by Hillary Clinton, that he hates Donald Trump, and that his wife works for the same company.
00:14:36.000And nobody thought that that was pertinent information to tell to the FISA courts.
00:15:28.000If this information was not omitted, if the DOJ, the Obama DOJ, came to the FISA courts in October of 2016 and they said all this stuff and they said, look, here's the Steele dossier.
00:15:41.000And by the way, it was paid for by Clinton.
00:15:43.000And by the way, there's no other information to bolster it that wasn't also written by Christopher Steele.
00:16:22.000This by itself completely eliminates, completely destroys the credibility, not only of the special counsel, But the attorney general who appointed the special counsel and the FBI and the entire intelligence community and the Democrats.
00:16:41.000This indicts a lot of people, and it is the beginning.
00:16:46.000What comes next in March, or what comes sooner, what actually comes sooner, is the Senate Judiciary Committee has drafted an eight page memo which details some of these other connections going on with Hillary Clinton.
00:17:04.000And Lindsey Graham, which they referred criminal charges against Christopher Steele for making all this stuff up and then causing people to spy illegally, that criminal referral will be detailed in an eight page memo, which is forthcoming, which they're trying to get released.
00:17:19.000What comes after that, then, here's the granddaddy of them all is the Inspector General Report.
00:17:26.000The Inspector General, when Donald Trump was inaugurated, was tasked by the Democrats and the Republicans to look into these improprieties, to look into the 2016 election, and over time, His investigation has expanded, or that office's investigation has expanded into the Clinton Foundation, into Hillary Clinton, into Barack Obama, into this affair, into the email scandal, and so on and so on.
00:17:53.000And that report will be available late March, early April.
00:18:11.000What this shows is that we live in a lawless country.
00:18:14.000We live in a country where there is no accountability, where there are no laws, where certain bureaucrats and departments are simply above the law.
00:18:24.000That if you are the governing party, you have a blank check, essentially, to use the surveillance state, to use the police state, to use all of the instruments of power in the executive branch and other branches.
00:18:52.000You know, we may be against democracy, but we would change it with an amendment to the Constitution.
00:18:56.000We would, you know, maybe we'd repeal the 17th Amendment.
00:18:59.000Maybe we'd go back and make some amendments to strengthen federalism or something, but we wouldn't just, you know, on our own decide, hey, let's just break all the rules today.
00:19:12.000And we've been saying this stuff on the show since late December.
00:19:16.000We've been talking about it all week, all last week, late December.
00:19:19.000And I said this would be the big story.
00:19:21.000I was talking about this weeks ago in mid January because the OIG gave certain documents, certain confidential documents to the House a couple of Mondays ago.
00:19:32.000And I was saying that's going to be the beginning of the end, and that'll be the big story of 2018.
00:19:37.000And you have to understand, too, this is big not only for investigations and it's all crumbling down, and that's good, but also think about this in terms of 2018.
00:19:54.000Think of that in December when people were polled and they were asked in 2018 are you going to vote for the Republican or are you going to vote for the Democrat?
00:20:18.000We are in a very good position right now in terms of if you look at DACA.
00:20:25.000If you look at the state of the union, if you look at the economy and the taxes, it was just reported today that in the month of January, the economy added 200,000 jobs and wages grew at the fastest pace that they have in eight years.
00:20:38.000Unemployment, the lowest it's been since 2000.
00:20:41.000So you add all these factors up here, and you'll get a massive win, or at least a massive defeat for Democrats on DACA, on immigration, on government funding.
00:20:51.000You have this horrible, disgusting, corrupt affair that is.
00:20:55.000Universally acknowledged is dirty business, and that'll kill the Democrats.
00:21:00.000You have a booming economy, jobs are being created, the stock market is growing, unemployment is down, wages are up, and you have taxes being cut in a massive way.
00:21:10.000And so we are setting ourselves up for a massive red wave in 2018.
00:21:14.000And if at least we don't have great turnout, the Democrats' turnout will not be there.
00:21:22.000We've really poured a bunch of hot water or poured a bunch of cold water.
00:21:27.000On their aspirations, rather, with all this stuff coming out.
00:21:30.000All that excitement about Doug Jones, all that excitement about Virginia, it's gone.
00:21:37.000And come the primaries between March and August, come the general election in November, I think you'll see this play out.
00:21:42.000And we don't even have to say what the benefit is.
00:21:46.000If we come back in November with a supermajority in the Senate, if we come back with a House majority and a supermajority in the Senate, you would not believe the things that become possible and the Democrats cannot filibuster.
00:23:52.000I have to give a very special thank you to a very special viewer, and really this warmed my heart.
00:23:58.000I have to tell you, I get very cynical.
00:24:00.000When you get in a place of notoriety, even if it's as small as my notoriety, small or large, depending on how you look at it, if you're looking at it as potential or in the present, future value or present value, you become, I think, a little bit cynical about people because you get a lot of YouTube comments, you get a lot of Twitter replies, you have to deal with a lot of left side of the bell curve people, you have to deal with a lot of criticism, and it can be dispiriting at times.
00:24:26.000But People like this, they reassure, they restore my faith in the people.
00:24:32.000His name is Will, and he sent me, which just came by mail in my P.O. box today, a copy of Sam Hyde's How to Bomb the U.S. Government, which is a great, great present.
00:26:04.000It's very humbling to know that there are people out there that care, that love what I'm doing, that love what I'm putting out there, that love the product.
00:26:13.000There's no other show like this right now.
00:26:17.000There's no other movement like this right now.
00:26:20.000I really believe my movement, the America First movement more broadly, when I talk with my Catholics and my Christians and my American nationalist buddies, this is a movement like no other.
00:37:21.000Yeah, so Bandrew asks about screenshots, which he's gotten in trouble with, with student government, and now that's going to become a liability for him moving forward.
00:37:34.000And how are we supposed to deal with that?
00:37:36.000I have to say, you know, this is going to become a problem, I predict, in the future with regular politics.
00:37:42.000This will become a problem in the future with regular politicians and even business people, because, of course, we all have grown up on the Internet.
00:37:50.000We've all put things out on the Internet as young people that we didn't intend.
00:37:54.000To reach a wider audience in adulthood, things we might have regretted doing or saying online.
00:37:59.000You know, I think the boomers and the Gen Xers, they have the advantage that they discovered the internet when they had their brains fully developed.
00:38:06.000And we have a whole generation of people that came up and they did not.
00:38:10.000And there weren't the same rules and common knowledge and things.
00:38:13.000And so we'll be dealing with that, I think, for a while.
00:38:15.000I think that'll be a pretty nationwide problem.
00:38:17.000And fortunately, I think because it's become such a common experience, I think what will ultimately end up happening is the sentence.
00:38:25.000Will diminish because everybody has their stuff out there now.
00:38:28.000Everybody, because of the ubiquity of online communications, everybody's got something out there, whether it's a text message, a Snapchat, a Facebook message, an email, a username, an account on a website, something that is damning, something that is either personally embarrassing, something that is criminally indicting, something that is racist, something that is whatever.
00:38:52.000And so I think ultimately that will just have to change.
00:38:58.000There's no way really to get around the fact that you have to communicate privately with people, and there's only so much you can do to encrypt and to assure that you won't be connected with things.
00:39:08.000But ultimately, it just has to change on the other end in the sense that you're just going to have to change the rules a little bit.
00:42:08.000Well, I was just coming in here to help and I guess get my $5 worth, but I guess like a pretty good question to think about.
00:42:18.000So I'm a college student right now, and I have a professor who like really emboldens like the left wing politics, like just like the classic, like you know exactly what I'm talking about.
00:42:28.000Everyone knows what I'm talking about.
00:42:30.000And they were talking about the dossier coming up, or not the dossier, the memo, obviously, talking about the dossier.
00:42:38.000And They just essentially were playing Olympics in their minds or doing like, what do they call that?
00:42:48.000Doing like the mind Olympics to try and cover up for the left still.
00:42:52.000What do we do with these people essentially that are so stuck in their bias for like left wing politics or like the neoliberal world?
00:43:00.000Like, what's going to happen to these people?
00:43:04.000Say we were to win in like whatever you want to, like, context you want to take that.
00:43:08.000Like, where do these people go and like, how do we have a nation?
00:43:13.000Like moving forward, I guess, even with these large divisions of, I guess, like existential questions, like how the government should work, and just like all these pretty basic questions that a nation needs to exist.
00:45:14.000But I think by and large, most people are invested enough in the premise of this country that a compromise will be negotiated.
00:45:21.000I don't think either side sees just pulling away and walking out, taking their ball and going home as a better solution.
00:45:30.000Than any kind of compromise they could make.
00:45:32.000So I think it'll be negotiated over the course of the next 20 to 25 years.
00:45:36.000But I mean, short of that, you know what the alternative is it's civil war, conquest, some kind of violent secession, some kind of violent divorce.
00:45:46.000But I'm a believer that the compromise will happen.
00:45:48.000I'm a believer that the negotiation will happen and we'll find our way here.
00:45:51.000It'll be tough, but I think it will happen eventually.
00:47:53.000Well, I read this statistic that Generation Z, atheism doubled among this generation compared to the last one, and they're calling it the post Christian generation.
00:48:03.000I wanted to see if this justified maybe the secularist atheist post generation.
00:48:27.000People that were faithful, people that were going to be strong believers, remained.
00:48:32.000And when the Soviet Union receded, that's why the faith in Poland was stronger than ever, stronger than many places elsewhere in Europe, maybe the strongest place in Europe.
00:48:42.000And the atheists, the weaker in the faith, succumbed and they gave in to the Soviet Union.
00:48:46.000And so I think a similar thing is happening now where you see a lot of people breaking towards the faith and a lot of people breaking towards secularism.
00:48:53.000But I think there is this moment of choosing, essentially, with Generation Z, where I don't think you have necessarily more secularism than the previous generation, but I think because the stigma is gone, people who are maybe not faithful, people who did not have a strong religious tradition, are now breaking for hardline atheism, and the ones that really are believers are breaking more towards Christianity because church attendance is up to 39%,
00:49:20.000which is the highest it's been since the traditionalist generations before the boomer generation.
00:49:25.000And so I think, and you could see this, the trend has been going on for a long time that every generation has been getting less religious.
00:49:31.000And I think you can contend that, you know, boomers obviously started this, but it's getting worse and worse and worse.
00:49:37.000But I think that this generation, you are seeing a resurgence.
00:57:46.000We tried to make it happen, and we're trying our best not to start doing our wall punchers, not to start doing our screams and our kickers here because we're very frustrated.
01:01:04.000I think he makes a lot of good points.
01:01:06.000I think if you hear him out, he's a smart guy and he makes good content.
01:01:11.000But for the layperson, if we're trying to attract more people into the movement and they hear this guy and they see this guy, I think it's just kind of off putting.
01:01:19.000And it's not personal, it's not personnel, kid.
01:01:22.000It's just simply that if we want our message to reach the broadest audience, we have to have the best looking people, the best sounding people, the most likable people.
01:01:31.000And I don't think that's what we have right now.
01:01:32.000I think it's actually quite the opposite.
01:02:35.000But they show up in these dorky looking costumes.
01:02:37.000They look like they work at Office Max.
01:02:39.000Carrying tiki torches, and our leaders turned our movement into a laughing stock.
01:02:44.000Where the alt right used to be this kind of ominous, decentralized, slaughterbot kind of political force.
01:02:51.000And after Charlottesville, after Hillgate, the NPI conference, it became associated with these LARPers.
01:02:57.000It became associated with these very sad, very pathetic.
01:03:04.000And again, this is in terms of the media, and you get branded by the media, these white men with the silly tiki torches, things that even old people laugh at.
01:03:27.000The point was that the alt right used to be a big tent movement, it used to be a movement that all kinds of people could be associated with it.
01:03:34.000It wasn't defined, it wasn't set, it wasn't rock solid, and therefore it couldn't be attacked in the same way.
01:03:40.000And so someone like Pat Buchanan could be called alt right.
01:03:43.000It wouldn't be Paul Gottfried's definition of alt right, but then again, he wouldn't have the monopoly on what is and what isn't alt right.
01:03:49.000And if that's the case, you have a little bit of wiggle room.
01:03:51.000We could have people like Cernovich and others calling themselves alt right, and that would be drawing people into our movement because they would enter in and they'd say, Oh, I'm alt right.
01:04:44.000I mean, we talked on the stream for the Roy Moore election, the live stream there, and he was a very knowledgeable guy, very interesting guy.
01:04:53.000My only issue, number one, he talks trash about me behind my back, which I don't know how you're supposed to respect somebody who does that.
01:05:00.000And then number two, it's the pseudonyms.
01:05:03.000You may respect a guy, and I certainly do.
01:05:05.000Smart guy, good takes, accurate predictions, and we respect that because we try to do that on this show.
01:05:11.000But the pseudonyms, I just can't get past that.
01:05:15.000And I guess it's fitting for what he's trying to do, which is he's just trying to be a radio host, so I guess that makes sense for him.
01:05:20.000But I just more broadly have a problem with people who don't use their real names.
01:07:46.000I mean, whenever I get in a fight with somebody, all these fags take to the streets and they want to make themselves heard by going on and hate watching the show.
01:07:55.000You know, I just got in a little scrap with.
