On this episode of the podcast, Alex Blumbergen joins me to talk about the latest in the ongoing crisis between the United States and Venezuela and the Maduro regime. We cover a wide range of topics, including the use of CIA covert action in Venezuela, the drug trade, and more.
00:07:53.740You've got a D plus 5 over there from Marquette.
00:07:56.060But anything over a couple of points in a generic poll is not great.
00:08:00.440And we have a major situation with these federal judges, particularly this judge in Washington, D.C., that has to be addressed immediately.
00:08:09.340Julie Kelly, the floor is yours, ma'am.
00:08:10.900So today, Jeb Bosberg, who is the D.C., the chief judge of the D.C. district court, held a hearing after the appellate court of the D.C. circuit kicked back to him this contempt inquiry that he opened in March of 20 of this year.
00:08:35.140This relates to representations made by the Trump DOJ in the Alien Enemies Act litigation.
00:08:43.860The first lawsuit that hit the docket went to Jeb Bosberg in D.C.
00:08:48.140Now, in April of this year, Jeb Bosberg claimed that he had found probable cause, that the DOJ defied his what he called an oral order.
00:08:58.620As you recall, Steve, that was during this hearing on the evening of March 15th, where Jeb Bosberg ordered the return of two planes out of U.S.
00:09:08.400airspace carrying illegal Venezuelans tied to Trundale, Aragua.
00:09:13.860And this was the basis of the president's Alien Enemies Proclamation, Alien Enemies Act Proclamation.
00:09:20.320Those planes had already departed the U.S. out of Texas.
00:09:27.960Jeb Bosberg said during the hearing, return the planes.
00:09:32.000He then, in a written order issued about an hour later, never said anything about returning the planes.
00:09:38.120Nevertheless, he has since accused the Trump DOJ of contempt of court in April of this year,
00:09:44.740said that he had concluded, found probable cause that they did and wanted to move forward with more inquiry and possible, possibly a criminal referral.
00:09:55.740And that act, that determination, the probable cause determination was vacated by a panel of the D.C. Circuit Court, the appellate court.
00:10:06.340However, they kicked it back to Bosberg, basically saying you can restart the proceedings, which he did today.
00:10:13.720And this is going to get very dicey, especially for the Trump Department of Justice.
00:10:20.920And he has set a schedule for Monday, this Monday, asking both sides, the Trump DOJ and the ACLU,
00:10:28.160who filed the lawsuit for a list of witnesses.
00:10:31.840And Bosberg himself brought up potential witnesses during the hearing today.
00:16:48.580So they sent a letter to the chief judge of the D.C. Circuit.
00:16:51.840So this is the ruling judge kind of oversees all the judges, including Jeb Bosworth.
00:16:57.060So these six senators, Eric Schmidt, Bill Haggerty, Lindsey Graham, and others, are asking the D.C. Circuit chief judge to suspend Jeb Bosworth pending impeachment proceedings.
00:17:11.180Earlier this month, Representative Brandon Gill of Texas filed articles of impeachment against Jeb Bosworth.
00:17:20.060Of course, once it was disclosed that he had signed those nondisclosure orders against several Republican U.S. senators,
00:17:27.740prohibiting two cell phone companies from notifying those senators that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records.
00:17:33.780That's when we saw some support in the U.S. Senate to finally impeach Jeb Bosworth.
00:17:41.740Ma'am, where do they go for your sub stack?
00:17:44.800People, we've got to get on top of this one, like ASAP.
00:17:47.580Where do people go for your sub stack and social media, ma'am?
00:17:51.560Declassified with Julie Kelly is my sub stack.
00:17:53.760I have a piece of about Bosworth right now.
00:17:55.860Also on xjulie__kelly2, where people can find a cover, I covered that live today, so people can go check out my posts and see what Jeb Bosworth said.
00:18:54.440I'm the one to do it because I'm a fighter.
00:18:56.360I served as President Trump's 2024 election attorney.
00:18:59.160I was with Trump, like you, before it was popular, back in 2016 when I first joined the team during the inauguration.
00:19:05.520And I'm not afraid to stand up like most of the Arizona Republicans in this state are, unfortunately, certainly the Arizona Republican politicians.
00:19:30.040I'm going to stick to three main points.
00:19:31.580Safe streets, strong borders, and secure elections.
00:19:34.260People on both sides of the aisle are sick and tired of hearing about Arizona's elections dragging on months on end, weeks on end, and questionable results.
00:19:43.120And people on both sides of the issue want that finally resolved.
00:19:45.800Strong borders and safe streets, it's pretty easy.
00:19:48.000We have to stand with President Trump and the administration and the work they're doing.
00:19:51.120Chris Mays has currently 31 elections out—I'm sorry, 31 lawsuits against the administration, shutting down the progress that President Trump and the administration are trying to do.
00:20:00.720She does so at the expense of the Arizona people.
00:20:03.040She has a limited number of resources, and she could be spending those resources going after the drugs, going after the border, going after the homeless, the fentanyl, you name it.
00:20:11.540But instead, she just wants to score points with ActBlue and Soros and folks like that back east, and that's got to stop.
00:20:17.700And I'm sick and tired, again, of seeing our squishy go-along, get-along Republicans do nothing about it.
00:20:51.600Our signature verification process is a disaster.
00:20:54.360As an election attorney, I've been in the counting room watching people sit there like zombies just approving every signature click, click, click, not really looking them over.
00:21:06.240Secondly, we need to take a look at ballot harvesting issues we have in this state.
00:21:09.940There are some legitimate ballot harvesting laws that people can help their family members, but that's been abused time and time again.
00:21:17.380Third, there's issues regarding verifying the citizenship of the voters, which in Arizona, you have to prove citizenship to vote, as you should in every state.
00:21:27.240And that's something that we can get on top of the current Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, as he's totally neglecting that duty.
00:21:56.580We have early voting for about a month before that, but the primary will be in August and the general will be like everywhere else in November.
00:22:02.080Okay, if people want to find out more about your candidacy, like I said, the first time you've ever run, people in the Trump world have known you forever, know you're a fighter, and we certainly need fighters out there.
00:26:12.440And so President Trump this morning posted,
00:26:15.620Investment in AI is helping make the U.S. economy the hottest in the world, but overregulation by the states is threatening to undermine this growth engine.
00:26:27.020Some states are even trying to embed DEI ideology into the AI models, the so-called woke AI, so on and so forth.
00:26:33.740We must have one federal standard instead of a patchwork of 50 state regulatory regimes.
00:26:39.860And at the end, he says we can do this in a way that protects children and prevents censorship.
00:27:00.520We just received, but yeah, I think that the emphasis is going to be on standards and internal regulation with the companies.
00:27:08.840So right now, that's how pretty much all of this is done.
00:27:11.000What do you mean internal regulations?
00:27:11.940So one example of that would be after OpenAI got all the flack for children committing suicide and people getting AI psychosis and misdiagnosis,
00:27:20.200they assure that OpenAI's GPT can't be used for medicine.
00:27:23.780So it's an internal regulation with no one to stand over their shoulder and enforce it.
00:30:08.300I was in a conference room with you five or six weeks ago of what you said, hey, this is my priority to save Texas and save the country.
00:30:15.720And in five weeks, Governor Abbott has now come out and designated both the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as, according to Texas law, as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:39:24.460Much of the realist energy is often anchored around this figure, Elbridge Colby, who wrote the national security strategy in the first Trump administration
00:39:33.720and is considered a sort of wunderkind within the administration itself.
00:39:38.460His lieutenants, though, are being stymied behind the scenes by neoconservatives and hawks in the Senate.
00:39:45.040It is the most recalcitrant and anti-Trump, frankly, organ of the government at this point.
00:39:52.200And it is really just astonishing to see.
00:43:27.680Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in simply by joining Patriot Mobile.
00:44:29.120Yes, the key thing here is, number one, they want to stop Bridge Colby from ascending within the government and serving in future Republican administrations as national security advisor, secretary of state, et cetera, et cetera.
00:44:45.260But it doesn't mean that this doesn't matter.
00:44:46.960Number two, Austin Dahmer, the former national security advisor for Senator Josh Hawley, as you mentioned, they're trying to stop his nomination.
00:44:54.660Again, this is the kind of stuff this stuff is literally behind paywalls.
00:44:58.660This is the kind of stuff that's not in the public.
00:45:00.640They're going to try to kill it in the crib without public scrutiny.
00:45:30.780Joe, Alan, your guidance today, you're going to join us.
00:45:33.920You're going down to Texas for the weekend, a huge event with you.
00:45:36.800You're going to be there tomorrow to get you on the show.
00:45:38.420But for tonight, what should people do?
00:45:40.240I think they should go immediately to my social media or Grace Chong's or War Room's social media.
00:45:47.160There is a list of congressmen to contact.
00:45:52.460Tell them, do not support or vote for an AI moratorium in the NDAA.
00:46:01.100It's very low effort to have it not introduced at all.
00:46:05.660And so if your congressmen are coming out against it, speaking out against it, showing some backbone, then problem solved for now.
00:46:14.780Contact your congressman, billblasterapp.org or at billblasterapp.
00:46:21.660And then November 23rd, this Sunday, I'll be at Angelica Film Center in Dallas, 5 p.m., down in Ted Cruz's home state.
00:46:31.740If Ted Cruz would like to stop by and explain to everyone there and the American public more broadly, do you want to stop states from determining their own future?
00:49:42.240I think 17 either civil suits or criminal proceedings against him for basically saying the election was stolen in 2020, and he's got the receipts.
00:49:53.840Mike Lindell, what do you got for his brother?
00:49:56.140Well, we got to celebrate the receipts.
00:49:59.160I'll tell everybody we've got the receipts, too.
00:50:01.420We've got the biggest sales ever with my pillow.
00:50:04.140This is our Black Friday, early Black Friday specials, you guys.

00:52:17.220A former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets, Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself.
00:52:32.600Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11th, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.
