00:05:38.400We're going to put a, until just recently, they were going to put a number of gallons per person living in a house in Beverly Hills on water.
00:05:49.360You're not going to have that problem anymore.
00:13:34.180It's somewhat like a green card, but at a higher level of sophistication.
00:13:39.040It's a road to citizenship for people and essentially people of wealth or people of great talent where people of wealth pay for those people of talent to get in.
00:13:47.000Meaning companies will pay for people to get in and to have long-term status in the country.
00:13:55.840And I think it's something we're very, very happy about.
00:14:00.560Would you have anything to say about that?
00:14:02.560Many other countries, by the way, do this, including, of course, your 51st state does that.
00:14:08.860And the money's earmarked for deficit reduction?
00:14:11.240It may be earmarked for deficit, but it actually could be more money than that.
00:14:15.900I mean, if you did 10 million, it would be, you'd have $15 trillion left over.
00:14:21.240But generally, it's going to be paid down debt.
00:18:50.520But they did release all of those hostages.
00:18:52.540Mr. President, when you spoke to Vladimir Putin, did he raise or did you discuss at all the possibility of a minerals deal on the Ukrainian land that Russia now controls, striking a deal with Russia?
00:19:03.180I'd like to buy minerals on Russian land, too, if we can.
00:29:13.180As it stands right now, I don't think it's changed here in the last few minutes.
00:29:18.180They're trying to schedule a vote on this budget resolution, which will kind of kick off the process for the reconciliation, for the one big, beautiful bill.
00:30:52.920President Trump right there talking about everything from trying to do the merger of live golf and the PGA Tour.
00:31:00.800Obviously, President Trump very interested in that as a as a guy that takes golf very seriously, takes tour golf very seriously and the majors very seriously.
00:31:08.180Everything to what's happening in Ukraine.
00:31:11.160And I understand we're on the half yard line on the Ukraine deal, which is the minerals deal, the way it's been structured.
00:31:19.520And as you saw it yesterday, Macron, they're still trying to get American security guarantees.
00:31:23.340Their belief is if they get the United States in for some sort of development project with their minerals and remember, most of their minerals, I believe, at least the way I understand the geography of Ukraine, are not simply in the eastern part of Ukraine, but very close to the Donbass.
00:31:41.000So I don't know how that's going to work without some sort of Russian, you know, at least acknowledgement.
00:31:46.920And I think they'll be part of this Russian rapprochement that, you know, the Europeans once again trying to get us entangled in the Ukraine.
00:32:09.920Tulsi Gabbard just put out a tweet or there's a tweet out about Tulsi about what she may be doing this NSA.
00:32:14.220Can you explain to our audience, given your knowledge of the intelligence community, kind of this what's coming out on Twitter the last couple of days?
00:32:43.280But essentially, just like private corporations like Google have essentially chat groups that are designed for inclusivity and basically in-group solidarity for various identity groups in the intelligence community.
00:32:59.540You have these LGBT and sort of queer-centric affinity groups that have been using the CIA and NSA unclassified comms channels to basically, you know, say this charitably, to talk ill of domestic political opponents.
00:33:21.020Of course, CIA and NSA are both supposed to point outwards.
00:33:24.640They're not supposed to opine at all on domestic affairs, especially domestic political affairs.
00:33:30.100They're supposed to answer to the democratic will of the domestic population.
00:33:34.700And the fact that, of course, as Chuck Schumer famously said, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you to use those foreign-facing dirty tricks to target domestic political opponents.
00:33:45.620The fact that they couldn't even keep it in their pants long enough to do it on their own cell phones, to do it on their own messaging apps, on their own phones, they couldn't wait to get to the office to conspire with their friends about, you know, celebrating the death of people like Pat Robertson and to, you know, call Tulsi Gabbard a Russian agent or, you know, an enemy of the queer community.
00:34:11.740I'm not sure even where they're getting that from, you know, is evidence of just how deep the ideological rot has gotten within the intelligence core.
00:34:22.600So let me get this straight so the audience can understand this.
00:34:29.360They use these comm channels, text messaging, chat rooms, whatever, at least sponsored or somehow on the apparatus of the server of the intelligence, these various intelligence apparatus.
00:34:41.740And this affinity group is, what, transgender, LGBTQ+, is that what it is, this affinity group?
00:34:50.840Yeah, and it's important to remember here that there was a reorientation of the intelligence community towards this while Kamala Harris was vice president and when she was on oversight of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
00:35:07.720There was a famous episode, I forget if it was reported by the New York Times or Politico, but where Kamala Harris described getting CIA analyst memos on, you know, geopolitics of countries in Central Asia and Eastern Europe and whatnot.
00:35:22.700And she gave orders for these CIA analysts to, you know, type the memos up again or to, going forward, make sure that the language in the CIA analyst memo was gender inclusive.
00:35:40.300For example, she cited, according to mainstream news reporting, that a term was used to describe a female foreign leader that would not be used, in her opinion, for the same activities by a male foreign leader.
00:35:55.420And so, you know, as has been reported, she basically wanted the intelligence community to completely reorient the language it uses in intelligence analyst memos, the culture of the organization,
00:36:09.680to basically have ideological dominance of the exact sect that we now see is doing domestic political targeting and using official CINSA comms channels for, you know, basically a combination of a kink, you know, a kink sex talk, a, you know, a domestic targeting outlet and, you know, a gossip column.
00:36:34.800So we'll get to the domestic targeting a second, but the kink part, doesn't that make people in the intelligence community more vulnerable to be influenced, blackmailed, influenced, et cetera, by, by foreign powers?
00:36:55.380Isn't that, doesn't the intelligence community think that that is a concern that these people may be exposed and may be, may be black, may be open.
00:37:04.800Well, that was always the knock in the, uh, from the 1950s until, you know, the 1970s, 80s, it was always the, uh, you know, the, the traditional FBI, you know, concern was that members of the LGB, LGB community, this is sort of before the T took over, um, you know, because there was social stigma around homosexuality in, in, in the mid 20th century, that it, that, you know, folks in, in high level politics,
00:37:34.800who had a deep dark secret at risk of being exposed would be at risk, at risk for blackmail. And this was, you know, this was something that was a not inconsiderable part of, uh, you know, U S counterintelligence in the, in the mid 20th century.
00:37:49.520But then I think as, uh, LGBT, uh, was exported around the world by U S intelligence as a means to sort of break up post Soviet States and draw them into a more liberal, uh, Euro Atlantic order.
00:38:04.580And as the sort of geopolitics of gender and sexual identity, uh, became weaponized as we're seeing with USAID, for example, spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year, if not low billions of dollars a year on transgender dance festivals, uh, LGBT music conferences and, and, uh, all sorts of cultural affinity groups.
00:38:26.480And a large part of that is because it's, it's, it's, it stands in such stark, uh, contradiction to the norms of the, you know, the, the, the former Soviet empire and the legacy paternalistic Russian, uh, influence, as well as the Chinese, uh, that, that it's, they're useful affinity groups abroad.
00:38:45.120And so you sort of have a similar situation where, where just the promotion of that at a movement and at a cultural level has, uh, you know, can have some blowback when you start to see this type of clustering, um, you know, attacking heteronormative, you know, communities essentially.
00:39:03.600So I'm, yeah, and I'm not making a value judgment about whatever people do in their own personal private life.
00:39:09.840The question I'm asking, this is a group, this is a group chat, right?
00:39:14.660Which would be open to be, uh, to be broken by, uh, foreign agents.
00:39:19.420And here in the group chat, they're, they're open and, uh, and this thing gets pretty salacious.
00:39:25.360Isn't that a problem with the intelligence community having this type of platform where whatever people do in their personal private life is what they do in their personal private life.
00:39:33.800But here you're actually making it almost like theater and it's out there for, it seems to me to be very easy.
00:39:39.840For foreign intelligence agencies, particularly the CCP, who are brutal about this kind of stuff.
00:39:45.120That's why I can't, can't imagine how this went on.
00:39:49.080And what you're saying is essentially officially sanctioned by previous, uh, administrations of the intelligence community.
00:39:57.160Well, that was, it was a major emphasis of, of Kamala Harris during her time at the incentive.
00:40:02.780Cause remember before she was vice president and running for president and, and backed by, if you remember, there was the, you know, 50 plus intelligence community, um, you know, support letter for, uh, for Kamala Harris over Joe Biden.
00:40:15.660Uh, she had bipartisan support during the time that, you know, internationalist Republicans really dominated the Republican wing of, of Congress during Trump's first term, uh, while she was on the Senate intelligence committee before she became vice president.
00:40:29.780And then the presidential nominee for the DNC.
00:40:32.340So that, you know, this super protected group status effectively means that if you, if you castigate the, you know, you know, the attempt to use official comms channels as a private sex chats, that you are, what would normally be impropriety.
00:40:49.400If, if, if it was done in the heterosexual community is, uh, becomes almost like a hate speech targeted attack on a protected class when the same standards are, are held to that community.
00:41:01.700I think that was at least the, uh, the cultural norms that were set up, um, by the Biden Harris, uh, by the Biden Harris, uh, you know, oversight and, and implementation of the executive branch Intel core.
00:41:16.240Sure. And there was also open, almost targeting of political opposition.
00:41:21.200It puts to a joke that these groups are apolitical, right? Uh, there was open derision and actual potential targeting of political opposition, sir.
00:41:34.240Yeah. I mean, they openly, they openly celebrated the death of, of Pat Robertson, you know, saying that, uh, if the, if there's, you know, smoke, uh, if it felt smoky today,
00:41:46.140it was because the gates of hell had just opened up and, uh, you know, and, you know, the, the deceased conservative had just entered and then, you know, followed by five or six similar chat messages that were all spiking the football.
00:41:59.940And, you know, these, these sorts of things are, are standard fare in, in, in the rough and tumble of a comment section, uh, you know, where you have red team, blue team.
00:42:09.260But the fact is, is the intelligence community is where the darkest arts are practiced.
00:42:14.340This is where we overthrow governments.
00:42:16.460This is, this is where we do, uh, you know, gain of function funding for freak viruses.
00:42:21.760This is where we provide clandestine support for terrorist groups and paramilitaries.
00:42:27.160Um, there's, there's a license to kill effectively given to these agencies.
00:42:32.580So when the civilians who pay these people's paychecks see that they have their sights directly on the, on the taxpayers of this country, where they're not even allowed to operate.
00:42:42.880Uh, I think it resonates with, with something with, with a very deep and legitimate fear in, in the U S population, which is that when you are given, when you are a spy agency who is authorized to lie legally under NSC 10 dash two plausible deniability, when you are authorized to overthrow democratically elected governments and do all the malfeasance of, uh, of, you know, traditional CIA spy craft, there's a special, uh, burden on you.
00:43:12.860You know, to, to, you know, just like judges are held to a standard beyond impropriety, they have to avoid the appearance of impropriety, whether there was propriety or not, they, they should not even come close to the line.
00:43:24.480And in this case, they blew so far over it that, um, you know, the smoke, so to speak, was the exhaust pipe from, uh, from these, these channels that they were having.
00:43:34.660But like I said, if this, I mean, this, this is the unclassified comps that we got.
00:43:39.500Imagine what's in the classified documents.
00:43:41.040Imagine the, the domestic targeting and, you know, the language in, uh, in CIA, NSA analyst memos during the Biden administration around populism.
00:43:50.940I mean, populism was a major, uh, a major target of intelligence work because it was defined as a threat to democracy itself.
00:43:58.860So I can only, only imagine what's in the classified files around, you know, targeting of these various groups that in, in, in, in the unclassified, they're, they're talking, they're, they're celebrating the deaths of openly.
00:44:11.040Mike, this plays into the, those of us that think this is a, uh, the intelligence apparatus is completely and totally out of control, not supervised.
00:44:21.440And where it is supervised, it's to be weaponized against the American people.
00:44:27.500Cause obviously you're very highly regarded in MAGA circles, but you're also very highly regarded at the senior levels of the white house, the administration.
00:44:35.980What, what is Mike Benz's conclusion here?
00:44:39.100What has to be done about this situation?
00:44:43.040I think everything that's being done is incredibly heartening to see.
00:44:47.320I actually don't think there has ever been this much pressure on, on the rogue intelligence agencies here in the U S in the entirety of U S history.
00:44:56.540There was a, there was a moment of, of reform in the late 1970s during the church and Pike committee hearings, during what was called the Halloween massacre, when Jimmy Carter fired 30% of the CIA and slashed their budget.
00:45:10.140You know, there's, uh, it's now, it's been floated that up to half of, of CIA officers or agents or analysts could be fired in the upcoming, uh, months, which would be even more severe and drastic than, uh, what was done under Jimmy Carter.
00:45:26.060And then when you combine the fact that USAID has been slashed and USAID is the, is the primary money funnel, uh, that's that, that builds up the institutions that CIA then works with to conduct operations.
00:45:38.880Uh, I don't think there's anything that's been close, uh, in previous years to what has been done just in the past month, but you can expect opposition on this from, from several places.
00:45:49.540The judges, there's going to be a full court press for, to go to jurisdictions in New York or wherever they can find favorable judges, uh, to try to stop that firing process from happening.
00:46:01.100I think that it's already underway, you know, Elon and the Doge people with the consent of the treasury and Donald Trump have, have offered golden parachutes essentially to CIA personnel.
00:46:12.440This is, this is greatly bothered the, uh, CIA and exile folks who are telling people don't take the money because they offered eight months, uh, eight months severance.
00:46:22.920Basically, you get eight months of your CIA pay, uh, paycheck.
00:46:26.400If you, if you leave that, that way we're paying you without you having to work.
00:46:35.940I just want to take a short commercial break.
00:46:37.320Mike Benz, who is, uh, one of the leaders in this effort to bring the deep state, whatever part of it we keep to heal here in the United States.
00:48:49.620He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:48:57.860Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:49:07.240Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:49:14.280His latest book, Money GPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm-driven crashes, and even threats to national security.
00:49:26.480Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:49:33.080This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:50:16.160The best way is Home Title Lock's million-dollar triple lock protection.
00:50:20.680Now, this service gives you 24-7 monitoring, urgent alerts of any changes, and if fraud happens, their U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to $1 million to fix the fraud and restore your title.
00:51:03.520And let me remind you, this service is 24-7 monitoring, urgent alerts of any changes, and if fraud does happen, their U.S.-based restoration team will spend up to $1 million to fix the fraud.
00:51:55.760Mike Benz, solutions to this and any other aspects of this you think we ought to understand, particularly as Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe try to get their hands around the deconstruction of the deep state?
00:52:11.060Well, it's important to remember that it's all connected.
00:52:13.120In this case, it was CIA and NSA, but CIA is primarily a covert support mechanism for the State Department, and NSA is a covert support mechanism for the Pentagon.
00:52:28.500This attempt to clean out the rogue elements and the rot within the intelligence community means that the same pressure needs to be applied at state and at DOD.
00:52:39.240So obviously, USAID has come under intense pressure, but state will be inheriting USAID.
00:52:47.200And so all of those programs and all of those functions that were being done to project soft power influence, for example, we talked about how some of these gender identity and sexual orientation identity aspects have been weaponized by U.S.
00:53:04.420statecraft for decades now as a way to try to implement regime change or try to alter the course of elections.
00:53:12.220A great example of this, for example, the CIA red cell memo that was disclosed by WikiLeaks from 2010 showed that when the CIA, when the State Department was frustrated that France and Germany,
00:53:25.340that their parliaments were not taking more taxpayer dollars from Germans and French citizens to support the NATO war effort in Afghanistan,
00:53:33.820the CIA analyst memo proposed to the State Department, based on their own field work and polling surveys they'd done,
00:53:40.320that if the messaging is changed from a national security predicate to support the war to a feminist predicate to support the war,
00:53:47.540by changing the State Department messaging and the USAID media-funded messaging away from Afghans as terrorists to Afghan women as being oppressed,
00:53:58.880that that would lead more of the German population and French population, because 50 percent of the voters are women,
00:54:05.500and you have many men who are sympathetic to the women's rights issues,
00:54:09.320that that would lead European parliaments to vote to give more money for the NATO war in Afghanistan.
00:54:16.460And you see this play out in country after country, this selective analysis of the demographics of a country,
00:54:25.300in order to build up those capacities, in order to implement, to achieve aims that are deemed beneficial to U.S. statecraft.
00:54:36.020And so I think that this has now gone on so long that we're now seeing blowback at home.
00:54:40.740There's a parallel, for example, with our migrant and refugee programs.
00:54:44.180The primary function of our refugee programs and migrant programs are to bring people from foreign countries in war-torn areas
00:54:55.760where their families are part of militias or political royalty who's being oppressed there,
00:55:01.760bring them to safety in the U.S., pay for their entire lifestyles,
00:55:05.580and have tens of thousands of them send back remittances that basically fund a CIA or special forces proxy war in the region.
00:55:14.180But then those people stay here, and they, in turn, exert their own influence over the politics, and there is blowback.
00:55:20.580This is what's happening in London, for example, with Pakistan.
00:55:23.500Pakistan plays a major role in British statecraft in Central Asia and even into Romania and Ukraine.
00:55:29.320And the fact that there's been such a huge amount of importing of those refugee communities who are playing a useful role,
00:55:38.120the Great Britain, in terms of funding the British war effort and the great game against Russia,
00:55:43.520you see the same thing happening with gender and sexual orientation blowback here in the intelligence community,
00:55:49.640who works, again, with those elements abroad for statecraft purposes.
00:55:53.860So this has to be a holistic effort is what I'm saying.
