On today's show, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) joins me to discuss the Ukraine crisis and why we need an audit of all the money the U.S. has been sending to Ukraine. We also talk about how much money has been sent to Ukraine, and what we should do about it.
00:13:31.440That leads you to believe, with your investigative hat on, to what conclusion, sir?
00:13:36.240Well, you know, one thing that I've discovered through the recent years of sort of following all of the machinations of the government and its proxies is they actually don't reinvent their playbook much at all.
00:13:51.660And the usefulness of that knowledge is that if there's an historical precedent for something and that something still has a function,
00:14:01.460chances are whatever that is still exists in a slightly modified form.
00:14:07.040And there was this bank set up in the 70s and 80s called BCCI, which is this big scam bank.
00:14:28.920And it was weird that it took so long.
00:14:31.000And it turns out there's a reason for that.
00:14:33.380And that is that it was one of the principal vehicles through which the CIA laundered money in the Iran-Contra affair and other kind of similar operations
00:14:43.840where they need to funnel money and support to U.S.-backed groups with plausible deniability.
00:14:50.440And the bank was probably set up for that purpose.
00:14:54.760But if it wasn't set up for that purpose, that became its primary purpose and why the scam was allowed to continue.
00:15:00.480And in my view, I think the BCCI is the perfect model from which to understand not only Tether but also FTX
00:15:09.340and probably a wide variety of other crypto institutions.
00:15:13.800This is the digital version of the BCCI apparatus.
00:15:18.980The BCCI was allowed to hang around for so long and do this because it was a bank the CIA was using to do all types of nefarious activities
00:15:29.100outside the reach of Congress, outside the reach of the appropriations process.
00:15:33.800And when it collapsed, it collapsed hard.
00:15:36.780In addition, this is what doesn't make sense.
00:16:16.300The Wall Street Journal has this big – the framing of the story on Bank Freeman, SBF, is that, oh, his plan to save the world has collapsed with his bank.
00:16:27.300They're framing it, this guy's some sort of savior.
00:16:29.280This guy's some sort of great guy that just maybe made a mistake.
00:16:31.680He was too ambitious, spending too much time saving the world, and, you know, a couple of bad things.
00:16:37.720His accountants weren't on top of things.
00:16:45.540They don't want anybody to touch this, BD.
00:16:48.200They don't want anybody to look under the hood on this thing because they understand it stinks to high – they understand this has got Uniparty written all over it.
00:16:55.340Otherwise, if this – if they've been filing money to MAGA, trust me – and this is not whataboutism.
00:17:00.840This is about – they would have – every story would have been nonstop.
00:17:04.500CNN's coverage would have been all over this, right?
00:17:13.460I think he's coming to be – he'll either be Skyped in or he's going to speak at the New York Times deal book.
00:17:19.260They're still going to let him speak next to the rogues gallery they've got.
00:17:23.060A minor detail I left out, Alameda, which was the hedge fund run by the FTX scammer, Sam Bankman-Fried, Alameda was one of the two principal backers of Tether.
00:17:39.600One of the two biggest backers of Tether was Alameda, the hedge fund run by Sam Bankman-Fried, and he was stealing funds from FTX from to support.
00:17:51.220We're going to have – by the way, this is what Congress ought to be doing when they come back, a full investigation and audit at Tether.
00:17:57.320Why is the Treasury Department never made up?
00:17:59.560And is this actually another intelligence front doing things off the books that our political leaders don't know about?
00:18:09.040That's the problem we had in the 60s and 70s.
00:18:10.880This is why you had the – Darren Beattie and I have called for a church commission now for two years because somehow you've got to get control of the FBI.
00:18:22.680Just to close on a darkly ironic and also comical note, there's a lot of idealism in the crypto community that the cryptocurrency is sort of some alternative to the government and so forth.
00:18:36.120And for those idealistic reasons, a lot of people have been wanting to kind of turn a blind eye to very obvious and glaring questions pertaining to Tether because if Tether is a scam, then crypto really is in big trouble.
00:18:49.880But I find it so amusing that it could be that the one thing saving Tether and therefore saving cryptocurrency is the fact that government corruption itself sustains it and that Tether is so important to certain types of government corruption.
00:19:07.720The scam will be allowed to continue and be protected.
00:19:13.200I'm a big believer in crypto because it can be an alternative payment because of what the government's doing right now and the debanking process that they're going through to debank MAGA.
00:19:22.980I'm a big believer in crypto as a potential alternative store of value, right, potential, but definitely as an alternative currency because what you haven't, these guys are trying to shut it down.
00:19:32.680We're going to get you back on Monday because this story is exploding.
00:19:35.640I got to tell you, it's tied to Ukraine.
00:19:49.840This piece is a must-read because as big as it is, it's a tee-up for the follow-up, and we have some explosive things to say about the Republicans who've been taking money from FTX, so stay tuned.
00:20:13.440By the way, Natalie Winters is all over this situation about Maricopa, executives of Maricopa County, and I think Katie Hobbs may be involved in this entire scandal with FTX.
00:20:26.360Congressman Green, first, you had a Twitter thread the other day that I want to make sure to read, but first and foremost, we had Congressman Good on the other day, who obviously is a dear colleague of yours and spoke very highly of you.
00:20:39.160We've had others on Ralph Norman, people who are your allies, your friends, your fighters that are in the trenches with you every day, and they say, man, we love her.
00:20:50.860She's the fire breather of all fire breathers, but we don't agree with her on this Kevin McCarthy thing.
00:20:56.200Can you give us an update of your current thinking, ma'am?
00:20:58.400Oh, yeah, I'm glad to give you an update, Steve.
00:21:05.480My great friends in the Freedom Caucus that have posed this challenge to Kevin McCarthy being speaker have opened a door, unfortunately, to many other groups in Congress.
00:21:24.040And so any group that reaches 218 votes can choose the speaker.
00:21:29.280And there was an article actually out in the Hill yesterday where moderates from the Democrats and the Republicans are starting to talk to each other.
00:21:38.920And they're saying, you know, we don't want Kevin McCarthy because he aligned himself with Trump.
00:21:43.300They're saying we don't want Kevin McCarthy because he's willing to do a whole list of things that the conservatives on the far right want done.
00:21:50.320So now they're starting to talk to each other about choosing their own speaker.
00:21:56.280Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan was even mentioned, which I would be I think every conservative American in the country would lose their mind if Paul Ryan became speaker of the House again because he was so horrible.
00:22:08.060And unfortunately, Paul Ryan became speaker from the last Freedom Caucus challenge when they removed Boehner.
00:22:52.060I am so opposed to that that I am willing to be as vocal as possible and saying we have to do everything we can to stop that.
00:22:58.900Because if the Uniparty in Congress picks the speaker of the House, well, you can say goodbye to all of these investigations.
00:23:05.700You can say goodbye to everything Darren Beatty was just talking about that needs to be investigated.
00:23:10.060You can say goodbye to investigating Hunter Biden's laptop because they will negotiate away the subpoena rights to the Biden administration.
00:23:17.900You can say goodbye to getting rid of the 87,000 IRS army that Joe Biden passed.
00:23:23.480You can say goodbye to all of these things that Kevin McCarthy has already said publicly that he's willing to do just because people say never Kevin.
00:23:31.800You see, I can't think like that, Steve.
00:23:34.320To me, it's not about a person or a personality.
00:23:37.100It's not about, you know, whether I like someone or not.
00:23:41.200It's about putting someone in the place in the political reality we were in.
00:23:59.820And then we have Joe Biden running the White House.
00:24:01.660So the political reality that we are in is we better get our act together as Republicans in the conference and get behind the person that has basically all of the votes except for five, right?
00:24:14.060Kevin McCarthy has all of them except five.
00:24:16.180And then make him speaker and hold him accountable to the public promises that he has made.
00:27:06.140Natalie Winters, there's the money laundering aspect.
00:27:10.060And this is what shocks me that they're promoting this guy as just a very naive young man who was trying to really help the world and do all these great things.
00:27:20.420Altruism and altruistic investing and all that.
00:27:23.560When it obviously this is a money laundering operation and you can tell that people want to back off this.
00:27:30.340In the Wall Street Journal, their framing of this was absolutely obscene because this is going to tie together Ukraine and a lot of other things going on.
00:27:38.360But what's shocking is that this has now reached all the way to Arizona and Katie Hobbs and Katie Hobbs is dirty because you've been taking dirty money forever.
00:27:47.900But how does this how does this actually reach into the governor's race?
00:27:51.340And this tells you they singled out Carrie Lake very early on as somebody they had to take down.
00:27:58.300Walk me through how Katie Hobbs is connected to this.
00:28:01.520Sure. It seems like SBF's life philosophy of effective altruism really only applies to keeping the establishment and the uniparty alive and an office when it comes to his political expenditures.
00:28:14.700And this story that we've just started looking into, but within about 20 minutes, I've already been able to amass, I think, some pretty damning evidence in terms of FTX and SBF's ties to the Arizona elections is just another example of that.
00:28:28.820So there's a couple of names here that are important to know.
00:28:31.920So Dacey Montoya is listed as the treasurer for the Protect Our Futures PAC.
00:28:38.860And this is a group that received $27 million from SBF to disperse for elections across the country.
00:28:46.460Now, Dacey Montoya, if you can read the FEC filings, you can see that she's actually based out of Arizona.
00:28:53.640No conspiracies, only coincidences. But what's really interesting about this individual is that she is, I would say, one of the leading activists and consultant type figures for sort of this dark money movement in Arizona, particularly supporting left wing causes.
00:29:12.440As you can see in her CV, her background, any proposition that is aligned with Democrats, candidates, she is either on the consulting end or distributing money from a variety of PACs to support these endeavors.
00:29:25.920And now where this ties into Katie Hobbs, beyond the fact that Dacey Montoya is not only friends with Katie Hobbs on Facebook, but has repeatedly tweeted in support of her.
00:29:35.580If Denver wants to throw up some of those tweets that I sent over to them, you can see her supporting her campaign rather publicly.
00:29:42.940But one of the consulting entities that was in the top 10 in terms of money spent, in terms of recipients from the Hobbs campaign, was actually none other than Dacey's consulting firm, a firm known as Money Wheel LLC.
00:29:57.200Like I said, we're just starting to get into this story, but there's a lot of overlap in terms of supporting left wing candidates and causes, individuals who are really integral to that movement in Arizona, and them being again listed as the treasurer, the key financial operative.
00:30:14.440And one of the largest, I would say, spends from SBF in terms of a $27 million PAC that was then distributed to support, we haven't found any evidence that those funds were necessarily directly used to support Katie Hobbs yet, but the apparatus of Katie Hobbs and similar candidates definitely benefited from these funds.
00:30:35.540Here's the thing, this is the most, this guy SBF is the most, he's the young, new rising Soros, right?
00:30:42.320And this company was just laundering money everywhere, pumping money, he's the second biggest outside of Soros in this cycle for Democrats.
00:30:51.360But here's the thing, you had Ducey, had Hobbs in his office the other day, you know, shaking hands, having a cup of coffee, even before it's been certified.
00:31:00.580There's so many problems in this election, it's actually uncertifiable, and I know Carrie Lake's already put her first shot across the bow in legal challenges, there's going to be many, many more, and what's going to come out about how this was run and how they didn't take the procedures manual, they threw it out and ran it, they called audibles and ran it the way they wanted to run it to ensure that Carrie Lake would lose.
00:31:22.660This is the Republican establishment in bed with the worst elements of the far left.
00:31:29.280This is what phonies, the McCain operation is, Ducey, this entire crowd, Robeson, Ducey, all of them.
00:31:36.440They're absolutely corrupt up to their eyeballs, it's all real estate deals, kickbacks, this banking apparatus they got out here, and they would rather have a hard left governor in Hobbs than have Carrie Lake.
00:31:50.600They would do anything to defeat Carrie Lake because they are the epitome of the uniparty.
00:31:55.240This is far left radicals in this SBF and the FTX money laundering operation in which you got the Murdochs and the Wall Street Journal saying, you know, and go to Steve Cortez's piece on it.
00:32:06.320You know, he's such an idealistic young man, he was really trying to save the world with this altruistic investing, and he just kind of got over his skis and really didn't have the right bookkeepers.
00:32:16.580That's essentially the story. Nothing could be further from the truth.
00:32:20.680This thing, and the investigation is going to take place, you're going to see, and it's tied to Ukraine, it's tied to the intelligence apparatus, it's tied to all the nefarious activities they've been doing.
00:32:30.900And I'm telling you, it's got also association with, guess what, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:32:36.140And this is not Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon.
00:32:38.800You know, our critics say, hey, under every bed, Bannon and Winters have got the CCP.
00:32:42.460Well, that's because their influence is everywhere.
00:32:46.300Natalie, hang on for a second. I want to go also to Brazil.
00:32:49.480We've got Matthew Tiermaier. I want you to hang on. I'm going to come back to you before we close.
00:32:53.860Matthew, the single biggest story about democracy and the second biggest story is what's happening in Arizona and how we have to sort this out.
00:33:05.120Are we coming down to the climactic conclusion of this?
00:33:08.380Bolsonaro has put up that the thing was stolen, that I guess the federal judge has already come back and said, you don't have the receipts.
00:33:16.020You don't have it. These these rallies in the streets are big.
00:33:19.940Are the military going to step in here and get to the bottom of what happened in the election?
00:33:23.740Or are just the truckers and everybody is just going to peter out and Lula just rope-a-doped them and eventually is going to be installed as as an illegitimate president by the CCP and his other handlers in in Brazil, sir.
00:33:39.080So after Christianity, the most important religion to Brazilians of every stripe is football, soccer.
00:33:47.960Brazil had their World Cup match and nobody left the streets.
00:33:52.880Everybody was still vociferously protesting.
00:33:57.160And, you know, you rightly say this is bigger than Bolsonaro.
00:33:59.760This is and again, if for clarity, Bolsonaro has an alleged fraud.
00:34:05.060Bolsonaro hasn't come out and said really anything except from after the final tabulation when he gave a press conference 72 hours after.
00:34:12.400And he said, we're going to follow the Constitution, exercise your right to protest if you believe it is warranted.
00:34:18.040And he has allowed others as he should.
00:34:21.120He is not giving them the rope to hang him with.
00:34:24.080And the party, and we've discussed this, the party of which he has aligned in his political career, they're a very powerful apparatus led by a guy named Valdemar Donato.
00:34:34.580Valdemar Donato was the one behind this audit of the tabulation where they said, look, the machines from certain production runs are unauditable and look fishy, but you will not give us the TSE.
00:34:47.680The subsidiary electoral court to the Supreme Court, who administers and oversees the election, would not participate in the military audit or the demand for audit from the political party.
00:35:00.060They wouldn't give the detailed tabulation, you know, drop by drop.
00:35:04.180In fact, they even took it off the website as forensic auditors like the guys I've been working with internationally to analyze and started analyzing the public data.
00:35:11.220They took it off for three days to scrub it and then put it back on.
00:35:14.820So the whole society knows that something is rotten here.
00:35:17.180What's interesting is if you have all the support for Lula, 50, 51 percent, 52 percent, maybe it's 47 percent, where are his supporters, right?
00:35:24.360Leftist activists with their hammers and sickles and Marxist flags and big five-pointed stars, they usually are pretty vociferous and are out there marching.
00:35:35.220This whole thing has been an information op to set up this ballot dump steal mechanism that they've created with the machines, with the right people in the court that are all Lula, Dilma, and Temer.
00:36:12.480You've got the AstroTurf gang in Mexico City.
00:36:15.060But in New York, we had Brazilian protesters wearing the yellow, blue, and green, the Brazil flag, going after the judges who were in that event we discussed in New York, which is insane, that they went to talk.
00:36:25.820The communist judges went to talk about how they saved Brazilian democracy, and you had thousands in Times Square praying, protesting.
00:36:32.940You had them on 44th Street outside the Harvard Club, and they have to go to Mexico City to find Mexican AstroTurf protesters.
00:36:39.460And they're holding with Antifa their hammer and sickles and their Soviet flex and pictures of Lula.
00:36:44.380I mean, it's like me thinks the lady doesn't protest too much.
00:36:46.220They're admitting that Lula is a hardcore communist working with global sort of Marxist proletariat of the world, unite and march, blah, blah, blah.
00:36:57.940The military just said, if you're going to protest, protest around the barracks.
00:37:01.700That's another heads up, another cue, C-U-E, not cue for some of our wackier followers, not the letter Q, but a cue to go in front of the barracks and make that your sort of locus of protesting.
00:37:13.040The military is going to be taking action.
00:37:14.780And Voldemort Donato, going back to this key point, unleashed this paper and this petition to the court, which the court immediately turned around and said, you don't have it.
00:37:25.200Oh, you don't have that within 24 hours?
00:37:26.840We're fining you 22 million rayas, so about four and a half million bucks.
00:37:30.300And we're now putting the head of the political party, Voldemort Donato, on our criminal target list on the fake news investigation, which is the fig leaf investigation they've been putting journalists on.
00:37:39.480They've been attacking and censoring Bolsonaro-tied congressmen, imprisoning people like journalists.
00:37:44.700And so Voldemort Donato is now on their fake news criminal investigation snare, and that's crossing a Rubicon.
00:37:50.260Voldemort Donato, it's not like our party heads that rotate in every four years.
00:37:53.640He is an old guard Brazilian politico who is very well respected, even if you disagree with him.
00:39:01.080General Morrow, who's also a vice president, a very high-ranking general and politico, he said, and this is a very well-respected guy, that the Constitution is being eviscerated by the court.
00:39:26.920But they need all the cover they can to invoke Article 142 in the Brazilian Constitution, which you and I have discussed, which is the clause that says when there's disputes between the separated powers, let's say the judiciary, the executive, and the legislature, when there's a total breakdown in society, it is up to the military to restore order.
00:39:45.020Remember those words, order me progresso, order in progress.
00:39:51.320And the faith of the people is in the military to restore order, to get them back on track toward progress.
00:39:57.300It ain't going to be the Supreme Court, which has no mandate and has totally lost trust from everybody, even some lefty journalists who are saying it's too far.
00:40:05.040So over the next week, I think we're going to see some bigger and bigger movements out of the military taking action.
00:40:09.960And I don't know what that action is going to look like.
00:40:12.060Where do people follow you on social media?
00:40:13.880At Matthew Terramon, M-A-T-T-H-E-W-T-Y-R-M-A-N-D.
00:40:27.240We're going to run out another article and another forensic audit of the electoral results, looking at previous cycles to see how they differ.
00:43:15.800Natalie, in Politico already, they talk about the apparatus that is being set up by some very sophisticated, well-funded people.
00:43:22.280You see this, SBF, FTX, all the money they laundered through into the 2022 campaign to put these radical Democrats so they could be competitive,
00:43:34.020and particularly what they're trying to do to Cary Lake in Arizona.
00:43:36.860They're not just going to sit there and let the Natalie Winters of the world and the MTGs of the world and the Republican House and the Ron Johnson Senate take free shots in these investigations,
00:43:49.300which are going to be so important, whether it's Hunter Biden's laptop or Fauci in Wuhan.
00:43:53.800We saw Fauci play the rope-a-dope the other day.
00:43:56.340Talk to us about what they're setting up, the gauntlet that we're going to have to run, Natalie Winters.
00:44:03.100Well, I think we really got to the signal, not the noise, yesterday at the end of the show when we were talking about how these investigations really pose an existential threat to the ruling ideology,
00:44:13.580the ruling class that upholds globalism, right, this economic model that is epitomized by the crisis that was COVID-19.
00:44:20.760So the, I would say, very ironically named group, the Congressional Integrity Project, CIP for short,
00:44:28.580was recently launched as sort of a war room operation to help defend really the Biden family from these forthcoming congressional investigations.
00:44:38.600It's sort of an external advisory body, which I think really shows you the fear in their eyes.
00:44:44.280I think they could probably use a few MyPillows because I don't think they're getting very good sleep at night because they're up scared.
00:44:50.300They're worrying about what these investigations are going to uncover.
00:44:53.960And it's, of course, no coincidence that a lot of the people that they're roping in to kind of help circle the wagons to defend the Biden family,
00:45:00.800really, I would say, are mainstays of the establishment of the globalist ruling class.
00:45:06.740We have a story up today on the war room site that details one of the individuals leading this effort, an individual by the name of Leslie Dock.
00:45:15.480This is someone who not only worked for Walmart, specifically their China operations,
00:45:19.620he's taken subsidized trips to China from various Chinese Communist Party funded foreign influence groups.
00:45:26.540You have an individual who's on the board of the New Venture Fund, which really is kind of the leading dark money group that's funded by George Soros.
00:45:35.100So it's just a perfect example of some of these swampy type figures, really, I would say, serving as a sort of PR agency for the Biden family.
00:45:42.680But frankly, my personal favorite on this whole story is that Leslie Dock, again, one of the leaders of the Congressional Integrity Project,
00:45:51.320his son, believe it or not, you know, history, I guess, tends to repeat itself.
00:45:57.300His son was actually embroiled in a scandal back in 2012 for soliciting prostitutes in Colombia while working on the Obama advance team.
00:46:08.300And there was a whole controversy that The Washington Post even reported that the Obama administration pressured the DHS to not release those findings
00:46:16.260until after the election, scared that it would obviously kind of taint or hurt the campaign.
00:46:22.000And there's a whole investigation into it.
00:46:24.760Believe it or not, he was later promoted to work on a female kind of empowerment initiative at the State Department after this whole incident.
00:46:32.120So it was just a perfect example of corruption within the Democratic Party.
00:46:36.440And these are now the people that are leading the charge to defend the Biden family.
