A Voice of America employee has been arrested and indicted for allegedly making death threats against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her family. The phone calls came from inside the VOA studios and control room, where threats were made over a 15 month period.
00:01:03.000A Voice of America employee, Seth Jason, has been arrested and indicted for threatening Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:01:11.000to assassinate Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene using phones at the VOA studios to threaten Greene and her staff.
00:01:18.000The phone calls came from inside the Voice of America studios and control room where threats were made to the district offices of Congressman Greene over a 15 month period.
00:01:28.000The indictment says the Voice of America employee threatened to kidnap and use firearms to kill Congressman Greene, her staff and their families.
00:01:35.000The calls started during the Biden administration in October of 2023, with the last call coming the day after President Trump was inaugurated.
00:01:45.000Seth Jason, the VOA employee, is going to face a judge, I guess, late this afternoon or maybe even as we speak.
00:01:52.000If convicted, he could face nearly 20 years in a federal prison.
00:01:58.000Carrie Lake, the head of Voice of America, joins us.
00:02:06.000I've known about this investigation for over a month but have had to pretty much keep some of the details quiet while they worked on the investigation
00:02:14.000because the goal was to arrest a dangerous person and take them off the streets.
00:02:19.000And the arrest came, it looks like, early this morning.
00:18:21.000And right now on the Hill, Kerry just texted me.
00:18:25.000I don't think they're going to be able to have the seven o'clock press conference because right now there's a kind of a Donnybrook going up on the Hill in the house about votes, not votes, genius act, the Epstein situation.
00:19:22.000Immigration reform, a GOP member of Congress is going to be trying to give dignity, not amnesty, to those people who deserve to stay and contribute, continue contributing to our economy.
00:19:35.000Because, you know, there's a lot of people that understand that point of view that you want people to have dignity in the country, but they broke the law coming into the country.
00:19:44.000And so they don't want a war to happen.
00:19:54.000They are illegals or undocumented, but they have been here for more than five years contributing to the economy.
00:20:00.000Those people, someone gave them a job and they are needed because we need hands in order to continue being the number one economy in the world.
00:20:07.000So why don't we do something Solomonic and let's break the baby into two.
00:20:12.000No path to citizenship in my law, no amnesty, no path ever.
00:20:17.000Just bring them out of the shadows, make them pay a fine for seven years.
00:20:21.000That is billions of dollars to the Treasury.
00:20:23.000Make them give us one percent of their salary over seven years.
00:20:28.000No federal programs, no health insurance.
00:20:31.000And then they can go back home for Christmas.
00:20:34.000They can come back, continue working, buying homes, paying taxes and contributing to the economy.
00:20:40.000Because the reality is that the president said it, that there are three main industries, construction, hospitality and agricultural who need hands.
00:21:27.000Ana, it's shocking that you have somebody who is President Trump's former defense lawyer who had a very controversial history.
00:21:38.000We heard from Senator Booker failing to disclose evidence when he was a prosecutor.
00:21:44.000And now he's been involved in all of these controversies that DOJ, a whistleblower coming forward to say Bove wanted the Department of Justice to consider F the courts.
00:21:59.000That's not what we want from a federal judge.
00:22:01.000We should hear from that whistleblower.
00:22:06.000Bove, in one of the cases that I'm working on at the Democracy Defenders Fund, seems to have been involved in targeting and even terminating FBI and DOJ personnel who worked on January 6th.
00:23:11.000Why would you want anybody who has an allegiance to Joe Biden or Barack Hussein Obama serving in this administration or anybody who passed their so-called vetting?
00:23:19.000We know that in order to work for Biden or Obama, you had to hate Trump or you had to hate Republicans.
00:23:26.000I wouldn't say that any of the people that work for them in senior intel or national security positions love this country because if they had any concern or regard for our national security, they would have told Joe Biden to close the damn border and to not allow 25 million criminal illegal aliens, many of whom are criminal-wanted Islamic Jihadist terrorists on the national terror watch list, to come into our country.
00:23:50.000So these people never spoke out about the national security threat that Joe Biden was creating for our country.
00:23:59.000Anybody who has any sympathy to Joe Biden or has any type of allegiance to the Obama administration or the Biden administration should absolutely be terminated.
00:24:27.000I mean, quickly, though, if you will, Norm, if they do move forward, if he gets confirmed, if Janine Pirro gets confirmed, what do you see as the stakes, Norm?
00:24:36.000Well, it's high stakes for our democracy, Ana, because we know from studying others.
00:25:41.000Hey, are you telling me the guy did this for a year and a half in an organization that hates Trump and never thought we were coming back and there are 20, 30, 40 people didn't know it and laughing about it?
00:30:03.000John, Peter Navarro is out of prison after spending four months at a prison camp in Miami.
00:30:09.000This is a former Trump White House advisor who had written in a book, spoken publicly about his interest in helping Trump overturn the election results.
00:30:22.000And then when Congress subpoenaed him to testify and to provide records, he blew him off.
00:30:32.000And he was sent to prison for contempt of Congress.
00:30:35.000He always said that he believed Trump didn't want him to share the information with Congress.
00:30:40.000And since then, he has positioned himself since his conviction.
00:30:44.000He was positioning himself as essentially a martyr for Trump, a person who was caught in this overreach of Congress.
00:30:52.000He is now traveling to Milwaukee, or at least we expect him to show up in Milwaukee after leaving that prison in Miami today so that he can speak at the Republican convention and further discuss this issue that he has been caught up in, he says.
00:31:11.000This issue of separation of powers and Congress and people going after Donald Trump and others.
00:31:18.000But I have spoken to his prison consultant several times about what it was like for Peter Navarro in prison.
00:31:25.000He did do his time all four months of it.
00:31:36.000Well, you know, as a person, I wish it was four years instead of four months.
00:31:43.000But it is always heartening to see the system work and to see someone who has worn a suit and tie to work forever and has been in the halls of power be held accountable for refusing.
00:31:54.000You know, I wish more people had been charged with contempt of Congress.
00:31:59.000I understand why they weren't, but Congress has to work on oversight.
00:32:44.000If they can come for me, if they can come for Donald Trump, be careful, they will come for you.
00:32:55.000If we don't control our government, their government will control us.
00:33:05.000If we don't control all three branches of our government, legislative, executive and judicial, their government will put some of us like me and Steve Bannon in prison and control the rest of us.
00:40:55.000I want to talk about because Jared, yourself, myself, we're trying to, you know, have a little working group and help the Bureau of Prisons guys, which I agree.
00:41:02.000We went to a lot of people to get to this fantastic team that's now at the Bureau of Prisons.
00:41:07.000And the DOJ, I think, is much more integrated with Bureau of Prisons.
00:41:23.000Pam and the people at Justice, they're only a handful, you know, of people that are political appointees that are in there right now.
00:41:31.000They're barely hanging on by their fingernails.
00:41:34.000President Trump has sued, I think, 175 times every time he puts out an executive order.
00:41:39.000Every time you guys try to do something, they try to chop block us by going to a federal court.
00:41:44.000The Justice Department, that's their lead thing right now is to make sure that President Trump can actually execute on his Article II powers.
00:41:50.000And as this audience knows, he has a broad definition of his Article II powers, which we've argued about for a long time.
00:41:59.000The rescission package today at the Hill in the Senate was one of them.
00:42:03.000But the whole weaponization and this thing with MTG just came up today.
00:42:07.000The entire weaponization of this government, nothing was done.
00:42:11.000To me, it's one thing to talk about it, but you have to have action.
00:42:15.000And this is why, you know, there's a story out that classified information that they had a big meeting on Sunday with D&I and other people to start to declassify some of the things around the Clinton situation in the summer of 16,
00:42:29.000crossfire hurricane, the mole investigation, Comey's part in this, all of it.
00:42:41.000It's very common, because today, as we speak, I'm helping Senator Grassley try to get both
00:42:48.000the Clinton annex and the Durham annex released, unredacted, immediately, forthwith.
00:42:57.000And what's interesting is, like, we have people at the CIA, DOJ, and FBI who are the politicals, but it's the deep state people down below who are resisting this.
00:43:13.000And so my experience in these matters, Steve, is you've got to find out who these people are.
00:43:19.000You've got to identify them by name, call them directly, and say, hey, let's get this stuff out, because it's too long.
00:43:26.000I mean, the fact that we don't have the Durham annex and the Clinton annex released in 2025 is just crazy stuff.
00:43:59.000He's our wise man, a former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets.
00:44:06.000Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:44:16.000Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency in your financial future.
00:44:23.000His 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.
00:44:35.000Right now, war room members get a free copy of Money GPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence.
00:44:42.000This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence.
00:45:18.000But he refused to betray Donald Trump or the Constitution and paid the price as a political prisoner.
00:45:25.000Locked inside a Miami federal prison, Peter found two lifelines, postcards of hope to his fiancee Bonnie Pixie Brenner, and a hidden multi-million dollar prison scandal he's now exposing.
00:45:36.000I went to prison so you won't have to.
00:45:41.000Peter and Pixie share a riveting prison diary, a heartfelt love story, and a shocking look at injustice in America's prison system.
00:48:09.000Well, name and names, I think, is the name of the game.
00:48:14.000One of the things that should strike everyone is that I went to prison because of the Democrats.
00:48:22.000There wasn't a single Republican except Liz Cheney involved in my incarceration.
00:48:27.000It was the Democrat Congress on a party-line vote.
00:48:31.000There was a Democrat DOJ and a Democrat White House.
00:48:35.000There was a Democrat judge who had been appointed by Obama, and into Washington, D.C., a Democrat jury.
00:48:42.000And then on top of that, Steve, there were two appeals court judges, Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pillard, who refused to let me out pending my appeal,
00:48:52.000which was arguably the most outrageous thing of the whole only working railroad in Washington, D.C.
00:48:59.000And if we had lost that election, Donald Trump would be in prison right now.
00:49:04.000So I went to prison so you won't have to read the book, but it's also the message, my buddy.
