Learn English with Donald Trump. President Donald J. Trump delivers a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPCA) in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday, January 16, 2020, where he discusses his plans for tax reform and other topics.
00:07:24.320Thank you, guys. Thank you. Right up through there. Thank you.
00:07:28.320You're in the war room. It is Friday, May 9th in the year of our Lord 2025. Natalie Winters here,
00:07:40.480hosting the show. We have Mike Howell. I'd love to go to him. Do we have him up?
00:07:44.400No. We don't have Mike Howell up. Then let's roll the cold open that I have for you guys. Democrats,
00:07:50.240or catch this, raiding ICE facilities up in New Jersey. Let's get a taste of that.
00:07:54.880Get off of her. Get off of her. You cannot push it. You can't push members of Congress.
00:08:06.560This is peaceful. You are fascist. Get off of her.
00:08:11.040This is peaceful. You are fascist. This is people. Get off of her. Get off of her.
00:08:20.320Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You are fascist. Put your hands on it, but we'll pay.
00:08:46.000If it's for press, you know that's cool.
00:08:51.200It's a whole lot of fascist calls. I don't know if you could make it out there.
00:09:00.240The mayor of a city in New Jersey, New Jersey's largest city, a Democrat who's running for governor,
00:09:06.800I guess that's how you get ahead in Democratic primaries nowadays, has actually been arrested.
00:09:11.360But let's not bury the lead. Three Democratic members of Congress were also there attempting
00:09:17.520to raid, break into, and breach one of New Jersey's ICE facilities, sort of, I think,
00:09:23.200one of the key nodes in what is President Trump's mass deportation agenda. I see Mike Howell on screen.
00:09:29.600If we can toss to him, don't worry. We're going to get back to the immigration stuff. We have
00:09:33.200a bunch of people joining us with some exclusive reporting. But Mike, there is an absolutely insane
00:09:38.560story. I've been seeing it all over Revolver News. I know the Daily Mail, some outlets are starting to
00:09:42.640cover it. It goes to what I think this audience knows you best for, which is the weaponization
00:09:47.520of government having to do with, I won't get over my skis, but fake journals, a Netflix documentary,
00:09:54.640just astroturfed evidence trying to bring down a company that's probably not in the interests of
00:10:01.440big pharma. That's certainly maybe a little more Maha in their orientation. Can you walk the audience
00:10:05.760through? I'll put the article up on screen. But this scandal, and I use that word in its full
00:10:11.040intent and purpose. Yeah, so the fact pattern here is absolutely wild. And everyone's going to be
00:10:17.600hearing a lot about this case as it moves through trial over the coming weeks and maybe longer.
00:10:22.720But what I really want to focus the audience on are the tactics of weaponization, both on the part of
00:10:28.240the FBI and then also the legal theories proper. Because when you look at that, you see a lot of
00:10:34.880the same ways they went after President Trump and others. And I think it's rather unfortunate that this
00:10:40.960whole thing is moving forward as we're looking for a kind of change in the direction of DOJ and FBI.
00:10:47.520You know, those large institutions are very hard to kind of, you know, remiss to overturn themselves
00:10:54.720and reverse course. And so when you see that kind of inertia, that new political control can kind of
00:11:00.400change the path of these things when they invest so much time and energy, I think it colors a lot of the
00:11:06.160other cases and investigations that we're looking for accountability for. And this has it all. It has
00:11:13.120the FBI working with Netflix to fabricate evidence. And that's just so out of bounds, particularly when
00:11:19.520you look at Netflix as a real champion of, you know, partisan causes and kind of their ways of
00:11:25.600just directing loads and loads of money to their favored people. And when you look at the FBI over
00:11:31.840its long history, they've had such a close relationship with Hollywood going back to the Hoover days.
00:11:38.320But now in the modern era, when you see them working with Netflix to shape public opinion,
00:11:43.840and then even in the Trump administration, the fruits of that investigation coming to court,
00:11:49.360you have to wonder when we're actually going to start turning this thing around.
00:11:53.760Mike, I want to drill down on the idea of collusion with Netflix. I think when I hear that,
00:11:58.080it draws me back to the collusion with social media platforms, obviously legacy media,
00:12:02.560the Washington Post, or as they call it, what the Langley bugle. But the details,
00:12:08.080in terms of, I think there was some facts about when journals were written. This essentially was
00:12:12.960just, I mean, fabricated out of more or less thin air, or at least very thin air. Can you walk through
00:12:19.840what that, or at least what you think that that sort of collusion angle looked like and why,
00:12:24.160frankly, anyone watching the show should be scared that you could not just have the FBI
00:12:28.640weaponized against you, but in conjunction with Netflix? I mean, that's astonishing.
00:12:32.720Right. So the biggest piece of evidence that was in this case and the basis of a Netflix documentary
00:12:39.520were journals that essentially were post-dated and then used to pretend like they were written at the
00:12:47.120time of the controversy. And Netflix and the FBI were working together at that point in time.
00:12:53.600And so that should basically set off alarm bells everywhere. But nonetheless, the Department of
00:12:58.480Justice is proceeding, even though that key element is no longer on the table and trying to
00:13:05.120basically power through it. You had a prosecutor who was involved in this case drop off just a few
00:13:10.800weeks ago. And the thing stinks. And what I'm smelling the most is that you just have a Department of
00:13:17.840Justice that doesn't like dropping cases, that institutionally doesn't want to admit it was
00:13:23.280wrong and is continuing ahead anyways when the biggest part of the whole thing was proven not
00:13:28.480only to be bunk, but potentially even criminal, if not civilly, certainly liable as it relates to
00:13:34.880Netflix coordinating with the FBI. And so when we look at other kind of weaponized cases, if they can't
00:13:41.680stop this one with such clear misconduct and abuse, what does that mean for turning around these
00:13:47.360agencies in the future? And you have the FBI still standing by this. They sent 20 agents to
00:13:54.480the court case, you know, the other day. And it's like, at a time where we're trying to refocus
00:13:59.520Mike, I want to stop you there, because I think that's another very interesting detail. And we've
00:14:03.040got to jump to break, but I'll hold you through that. And I think that the fact that they're still
00:14:07.440pursuing this case, it speaks to whether you want to call it the deep state, the in your face state.
00:14:12.000But the idea that DOJ should be something that is uniquely controlled, administered by
00:14:16.080President Trump, not pursuing the politically motivated charges of, you know, the Biden DOJ,
00:14:20.160or these unelected bureaucrats, hang with us, with us through the break mic and warm posse.

00:16:59.940the FBI has been doing for, no, it seems like a very, very long time. I want to get in, though,
00:17:05.100to one very weird detail about this case. You're telling me that dozens of FBI agents were, you know,
00:17:11.180posted up around the ongoing trial. I don't necessarily think that's a normal thing to do.
00:17:17.580It sounds quite anomalous to me. Can you walk the audience through that detail, too?
00:17:21.600Yeah, the reports I saw said 20 FBI agents showed up for a day of the trial. I don't know if there are
00:17:27.100that many there every single day, but that tells you all you need to know. It's an absolute show of
00:17:31.400force. It's meant to show kind of a unified front. I'm sure they had some invented reason for each of
00:17:36.800them to be there or not. But we all know the courtroom kind of presentation style and drama
00:17:42.300that goes into these things. And keep in mind, this is a nonviolent case. We have an FBI that I was
00:17:48.760told was getting, you know, reorienting to fighting crime and getting the bad guys and the gangbangers
00:17:53.920off the street. And you have 20 FBI agents for a case that hinges on one charge of a never really
00:18:01.680used before forced label theory. And so it's just bizarre to me. It shows it looks like a double
00:18:07.880down. It just looks like the government says we put this much work into the case, regardless of all
00:18:12.820the misconduct that is there. We're not dropping it because it makes the government look bad to drop
00:18:17.000a case. So we're going to throw all that we have on it. And if we don't have good evidence to go off
00:18:21.060of, then we're just going to do the show of the force. It's the old saying of the law. You have the
00:18:24.960facts, pound the facts. You don't have those. If you got a table, then just pound the table.
00:18:28.900So it's them patting the table and trying to create the impression that the government stands
00:18:33.080by all this misconduct. Well, I can think of a litany of other cases or issues that the DOJ
00:18:40.180should be allocating their resources to certainly the FBI, the internal struggle sessions that are
00:18:45.840needed aside, or maybe just fire these people. I think they're superfluous in their origins to
00:18:51.340begin with. But I don't know, like we always say in the war, and maybe give us some names of the
00:18:55.600people who orchestrated the invasion at the southern border, people who are responsible for
00:19:00.940the really whole of society, whole of government approach to government weaponization, not going
00:19:05.780after things like this. Last question before we let you go. What should the, I think, warning that our
00:19:12.800audience should discern or glean from this case be? In other words, that the FBI can essentially call
00:19:18.180up some Hollywood studio, have them make a more or less astroturf documentary about you, and somehow
00:19:23.780you see yourself on the stand on trial, and a bunch of FBI agents are going to be swarming around?
00:19:28.120Am I, is that too reductive, or is that what we're talking about?
00:19:31.320No, that's exactly what we're talking about. I mean, it used to work for the FBI back in like
00:19:35.140the 50s and 60s, putting out the G-men and trying to up public perceptions of them. But when you have
00:19:40.620a weaponized FBI that's been populated by kind of ideologues, and in 2025, they're working with
00:19:46.140Netflix, basically as an outgrowth of the Me Too movement, wanting to get some big case that looks
00:19:51.620like something related to Me Too. And they're just working with the furthest left, and people
00:19:55.940have an ideological passion. The FBI should never be working with the Netflix unless they're
00:20:00.200investigating Netflix. And you just see the marriage of the really broken down FBI and
00:20:07.200corporate elites here, and it's just a crazy fact pattern. But if we can't stop these fact
00:20:12.180patterns against going people who aren't traditionally viewed as conservatives, how do we think that
00:20:16.660we're going to stop the FBI from doing this against everyday Americans and other political
00:20:20.440opponents? And so if we're going to stand against weaponization, we need to stand against
00:20:24.220weaponization of these institutions against everyone, regardless of the underlying behavior.
00:20:29.720And it worries me. If they can't, political control can't put a stop to this sort of misconduct
00:20:34.800because they don't want to back away from the trial, what's that mean going forward for
00:20:39.000accountability and reform? And I don't think it's good.
00:20:43.120Very valid points. Mike Howell, if people want to follow you, keep up to date with everything you're
00:20:47.260working on. Where can they go to do that? Yep. So I'm at mhelltweetsonx, and there we link to all
00:20:52.940of our other profiles. We have a good time on X. Get an info and doc straight to the people,
00:20:57.780right in their veins. Thank you, sir. We'll have you back on soon. Thank you.
00:21:06.080Honored to be joined now by Aaron Saberian, someone who has been posted up at the Free Beacon all
00:21:13.020over the racial discrimination that has been going on at UCLA, particularly their medical school. One
00:21:19.480of the quotes that jumped out at me from your most recent piece, calling it a quote,
00:21:23.520failed medical school. My dad actually did undergrad there and knows that medical school
00:21:28.960very well. So I'm sure he'd be very disheartened to hear that. But when you look at the numbers,
00:21:33.020I guess another figure that jumped out 50% or so of the new people who are sort of, I would assume
00:21:39.060DEI, affirmative action, take your pick, are failing basic medical competency tests. I know
00:21:44.760a lot of your reporting has led to now a Trump administration probe and lawsuits. But can you
00:21:48.920sort of walk the audience through what your team, what you've uncovered that's been going on at UCLA?
00:21:57.060Sure. Thank you for having me. There's really sort of, I would say, two or three pieces of kind of
00:22:04.620convergent evidence that the school is discriminating based on race in admissions. The
00:22:10.680first is the graphic you just showed and kind of the data it represents. You see that around the
00:22:19.380same time that the medical school got a new dean of admissions and allegedly started doing all this
00:22:25.960affirmative action, there is a marked increase in the number of students failing these standardized
00:22:31.960tests known as shelf exams. These are supposed to be very basic exams. You only fail them if you score
00:22:38.460in the bottom 5% of all test takers nationally. So it's not really easy to fail these exams.
00:22:46.120And yet at UCLA, you saw from like 2020 to 2023, a huge increase in the number of students failing these
00:22:55.440tests. And in certain cohorts of people on their clinical rotations, you would occasionally see failure
00:23:01.840rates as high as 50%, which was not happening prior to 2020. Now, of course, the other kind of important
00:23:10.020piece of evidence here is that we have firsthand accounts of professors at UCLA, including current and
00:23:18.800former admissions officers who described a pattern of kind of racially charged comments by the dean of
00:23:30.060admissions, Jennifer Lucero, and described how she would effectively shut down criticism of minority
00:23:37.640candidates with subpar grades and MCATs, and would sort of push through people perceived to be disadvantaged some
00:23:46.560way, usually based on their race, despite the fact that they really did not have the academic qualifications that you would
00:23:55.060expect most students matriculating at UCLA medical school to have. And then there's sort of a third
00:24:01.300piece of evidence that was just, I think, uncovered in this lawsuit. And that is that when you look at the
00:24:07.300share of matriculants of a given race, so like you compare the percentage of matriculants to their share of the
00:24:18.180applicant pool, you see that, for example, in 2023, about 78% of UCLA medical schools, applicants were black, but 14 to 15%
00:24:34.420of UCLA's incoming class was black, right? So the share of the class, so it was almost double the share of the applicant pool. And given just the
00:24:48.180just what we know, kind of background knowledge about, you know, the racial breakdown of, you know, grades and
00:24:54.420especially MCATs by different racial groups, it's just really surprising and extraordinary to argue that you could get that kind of
00:25:04.180breakdown without some kind of racial preferences. And then I guess sort of the final piece of evidence I'll give you is that after this new
00:25:12.180dean of admissions took over, you saw the share, and this is this one is, this is publicly available data, you saw that the
00:25:18.980share of Asian matriculants at UCLA, like plummeted, it, you know, reduces by about a third in three years. And that really is a
00:25:30.020pretty astonishing drop. And it's not a drop that you see at just about any other UC medical school. So there's kind of all of the
00:25:38.180there's like, there's like at least four different pieces of conversion evidence that point to UCLA
00:25:43.220discriminating based on race. And now there's this lawsuit that will likely uncover even more data,
00:25:49.540and even more whistleblower accounts. And so pretty soon, I think we'll have an even better picture of
00:25:57.140exactly how and to what extent these preferences were used.
00:26:00.340I think they call that a bring in the receipts. But like you said, that's all, you know, mainly open
00:26:06.420source, public source data. Can you walk the audience through what maybe like the expected
00:26:10.660timeline of this lawsuit is, or how the Trump administration probe fits into that, or just
00:26:16.020what you think they will, you know, potentially find or the outcome of it could be?
00:26:21.060Yes, I don't really know what the timeline on the lawsuit will be. I imagine UCLA will file a
00:26:26.260motion to dismiss. And I imagine that will get rejected, because I think there is a fair amount
00:26:32.100of evidence here, although you never know. And California courts are obviously quite liberal.
00:26:37.300The Trump administration's investigation, which was launched a little over a month ago,
00:26:44.420that one UCLA has said they're complying with it. Although, you know, one expects that they will do
00:26:50.100everything in their power to, you know, spin the findings and spin the data in ways favorable to
00:26:58.260UCLA. But I think one thing that's important to note is that after the administration announced
00:27:06.500this probe, and UCLA said, oh, yeah, you know, we'll comply with, we'll cooperate with the
00:27:11.460administration, you'd sort of think that they would stop putting things in writing that could be used
00:27:17.700against them in litigation. Well, actually, that's not what they did. What they did was they sent out
00:27:23.700a memo to all second and third year medical students saying that they were going to use
00:27:29.060racial preferences when constructing the admissions committee itself. So when they assign students to
00:27:35.780be on the committee, there's usually about like five student representatives on the admissions committee,
00:27:40.900they explicitly said that one of their guiding principles was that
00:27:44.340uh, they had to ensure like adequate representation of quote BIPOC and LGBT students.
