00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:18.220 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:25.980 get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia

00:00:31.760 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:36.840 is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight

00:00:40.620 all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host

00:00:47.720 stephen k bannon it's monday the 25th of july year of our lord 2022 you're in war room battleground

00:00:55.860 thank you very much for joining us for live i want to go to uh matt schlapp matt schlapp's the

00:01:01.820 head of the american conservative union that puts on cpac just back from israel matt before we talk

00:01:06.380 about cpac dallas uh give me a i think one of the most powerful things cpac's done over the last

00:01:12.600 couple of years and we were honored i think to be in your first one in japan i think it was in 2017

00:01:17.000 over christmas or right before you've really taken cpac out throughout the world it's pretty amazing

00:01:22.840 talk to me about cpac israel yeah it was pretty amazing we've been talking about it for a long

00:01:28.380 time for since before the uh chinese corona and uh and we hit the ground uh in jerusalem uh we spent

00:01:37.140 a full week with an american delegation and went to tel aviv 2500 israelis in a country that doesn't

00:01:43.680 tend to really do rallies around their politics i'm told that it's a bigger crowd than netanyahu

00:01:48.840 would get uh at the height of his popularity and as you know he's trying to wage a comeback

00:01:53.620 in november and that important race in israel and you know we brought a couple of american ambassadors

00:01:59.280 who were part of the abraham accords and we brought matt whitaker and rick grinnell and others who worked

00:02:04.880 in the trump administration and it was just a buffo uh night it was a great event and i cannot tell you

00:02:11.240 how many uh people we ran into who were in shock that we actually pulled it off and we pulled it off

00:02:17.760 with some great partners on the ground and for me steve it's always really cool you know this

00:02:21.140 i remember walking behind you uh in tokyo at that first uh cpac on the ground in japan and you know

00:02:28.960 there's nothing like an american hitting the ground in a strong allied country the outpouring of love

00:02:35.320 and affection you didn't even get that many tough questions from reporters and we had a similar

00:02:40.240 experience in israel and these kids would come up to me on the street we had one thing we captured in 0.90

00:02:45.240 video they were kids who lost their parents or their brothers or sisters to terrorism and they

00:02:49.520 came up to me we spoke with a bullhorn and you know just uh uh told them we're we're we're in

00:02:55.200 solidarity with them in this fight against radical islamic terror so it's a pretty special trip

00:02:59.820 talk to me about given president trump's you know moving the embassy the abraham accords his focus the

00:03:07.720 first trip we took was obviously going to riad first jerusalem second rome third what is your sense

00:03:13.660 uh from the israelis right now of of what's their sense of of the middle east we're gonna have a

00:03:18.960 major galvin on here in a second but his book a few bad men about this horrific incident in afghanistan

00:03:23.740 back during the war but what is since we're not actively engaged in afghanistan we're somewhat in

00:03:30.000 in iraq but it's a whole different you know it's all it's a whole different not just mindset with this

00:03:36.360 regime with the bidens but it's just a different feels like things are very different over the

00:03:41.080 middle east right now they're talking about iran on the on the final stages of a nuclear weapon

00:03:45.660 what's your sense from the israelis of what that what do they feel about american leadership right

00:03:50.160 now yeah look there was a hit and run in israel joe biden had to go to israel because he wanted

00:03:56.520 to go to saudi arabia to beg for oil an american president going to any regime and begging for fossil

00:04:03.740 fuels we want to allow our people to drill for fossil fuels here is really has the israeli people in a 0.83

00:04:09.820 state of shock um when donald trump went to the region you remember that famous sword dance in

00:04:14.560 saudi arabia you were there and you know the the point wasn't wasn't wasn't that everything the

00:04:20.340 saudis do is right but there was a respect for the trump administration for donald trump which they do

00:04:25.300 not have for joe biden even the fist bumps seem to have gotten joe biden he caught a flu and you know

00:04:31.280 and and he goes to israel he does a few things that were more obligatory in nature and from my

00:04:36.920 conversations with people on the on in the know on the ground there is people left very worried that

00:04:43.180 the american president is just out to lunch they just didn't feel like he was very engaged and with

00:04:48.200 it and that's quite a statement because joe biden actually has really never been too with it

00:04:52.140 yeah no talk to us about you're you've done these regionals i know you're going to go back to the

00:04:58.760 since uh the ccp virus is abated we're going to go back to the regular cpacs in washington dc starting in

00:05:04.920 23 um but talk to me about cpac dallas cpac texas uh is this is this now where texas gets to compete

00:05:13.620 with what happened in florida the one in florida is so intense and so big talk to us about what's

00:05:19.800 coming up august 4th through 7th because we want everybody want all the war room posse in the region

00:05:23.840 to show up for this tell talk to us about it you got to go and if you use code word war room

00:05:29.480 and go to our website at conservative.org uh you're going to get invited to a special uh event

00:05:36.240 with uh the host of war room steve bannon who's going to be one of our featured speakers at the

00:05:41.440 cattleman's ball and look we went to florida the first year because remember steve they blamed us

00:05:46.820 for spreading coronavirus they spread me personally because we had one victim uh who uh turned out to

00:05:52.400 be just fine but they blamed us for an international spread and then they canceled us the next year they

00:05:57.780 didn't want us to even have cpac in dc they said we would kill people so we said not on our watch i

00:06:03.740 mean not since uh if ronald reagan can come 13 times to cpac and we've been through wars and we've

00:06:10.340 been through recessions we can have cpac so we had to go to florida we had a great event even though

00:06:14.900 the mayor there was pretty rough in orlando and then we decided look there's two mega red states that

00:06:19.960 are driving the economy and driving politics and it's florida and texas that's where the center of

00:06:24.540 gravity is it's no longer washington dc it's moved south and really there's almost like a red capital

00:06:29.720 and a blue capital you can name your pick for these big blue broken bankrupt blue cities uh that

00:06:35.540 that is the kind of the center of gravity for the left but for us you know the only big cities that

00:06:40.420 are functioning in this country are in red states and so you know people on our side have to start to

00:06:45.980 ask themselves are they going to continue to grovel at the feet of these big blue city mayors who

00:06:51.420 literally want to shut them down on a moment's notice and that's what we fear doing anything in

00:06:55.780 a blue state tell me about for our our audience or memory go to concert i think it's conservative.org

00:07:03.200 and you put in the promo code war room you can invite to a special event we want everybody in

00:07:08.280 the texas in the dallas area in north texas and the surrounding areas to come it's going to be very

00:07:12.740 special we're in there be there for the couple days and we're going to be broadcasting doing special

00:07:16.740 events we want everybody in the posse to show up you've got victor orban which i think is blockbuster

00:07:22.220 you did already did a cpac hungry that they're still they're still they're still shaking about

00:07:27.580 in europe you're bringing orban to texas which is going to be amazing who else is going to be there

00:07:32.840 matt oh yeah it's a who's who obviously president trump will be uh our final speaker we got sean

00:07:39.360 hannity coming who hasn't been at cpac for a number of years we got i think everyone's favorite

00:07:44.320 member of congress jim jordan uh is going to be there with us at ted cruz this new myra flores

00:07:49.760 we're going to have a lot of these candidates jd vance a lot of these republican candidates are

00:07:53.840 going to help us take back uh the majority so uh you don't want to miss it go onto the website get

00:07:59.360 your tickets but more than anything else send the message to the national media that there is a

00:08:04.900 conservative uprising an american uprising going on across this country i think cpac is the beginning

00:08:10.860 of the big red wave it's in august we're just months away from that big election in november if

00:08:15.720 we don't have a big win in november all the socialism just gets bigger and nancy pelosi feels emboldened

00:08:21.900 so let's push back and let's prevent it from happening this is the first step of two

00:08:25.920 get back these majorities and then take back that white house 0.93

00:08:29.100 i think that the evening that you close president trump's speech i think is 90 and a wake up to the

00:08:35.640 election day i think this sunday's 100 and i think when trump speaks on the 7th

00:08:40.860 it's 90 and a wake up so that's how intense this is cpac would be the springboard matt your social

00:08:45.720 media how do people get the book it's still a must read uh how do people get the book and how do

00:11:00.040 thank you thank you thank you so much thank you so much and that is the guys did a great job but it's

00:11:05.760 of course we add our own special spin and this is why i got kennedy to be my co-host today to shout

00:11:10.840 that out okay uh uh i want to bring in major fred galvin united states marine corps retired uh major

00:11:18.200 galvin i was able to start for the war in posse today and and i gotta tell you i'll be honest

00:11:23.000 when i first got this book and people had told me about it and i saw zero hedge and i and i got a

00:11:29.820 copy and went through it or before i got it i said is this a work of fiction is this like a hollywood

00:11:34.940 you know someone's going to be in a major film as a work of fiction said no all this happened

00:11:38.420 and i said how did i not know that given we stay pretty close to this and i asked a bunch of people

00:11:43.920 and they go wow we didn't hear about that this is an amazing story the book is a a few bad men

00:11:49.240 it's an extraordinary work about the way the system works it's got the obviously the courage

00:11:56.020 and the valor of our troops but it is a kafka-esque nightmare i mean your hands will break out in a 0.80

00:12:03.560 sweat when you see what goes on so just take us back walk through what happened here and and then i

00:12:10.980 want to get into why it was suppressed but but just tell us who you are what was this unit your deployment

00:12:17.240 to afghanistan what happened and just walks and i i don't want to give the outcome right the decent

00:12:22.840 because i want people to buy the book and actually read it major galvin yes steve thank you and uh i

00:12:30.400 hear you've got questions i know you want answers and you and your listeners can handle the truth

00:12:35.180 so the reason i wrote the book on a few bad men uh it is a non-fiction story uh unlike a few good

00:12:43.700 men this is something that you don't want it to be true as you had described this is not just about

00:12:51.460 the combat action that our marine commandos in the very first marine special operations task force

00:12:57.080 deployed into afghanistan and conducted we were blown up shot at uh then they started the taliban 1.00

00:13:03.780 launching an information warfare campaign against us that took uh the role immediately 20 minutes after

00:13:10.260 the ambush and the bbc um saying that we killed women and children we expected all of that we expected

00:13:18.380 the enemy to fight us in a complex ambush with sniper fire creating obstacles that was what we

00:13:25.560 rehearsed and we conducted a very violent counter-attack and killed the enemy we also expected

00:13:32.160 them to spin the truth that's what terrorists do what we did not expect is as you had described in

00:13:38.740 your prior session that the marine corps we knew realized they did not ever want to have an elite

00:13:43.960 an elite but we did not expect them to dogpile us with 45 criminal investigators four prosecuting

00:13:49.660 attorneys that came in and they had a written operation order this was written down that they would

00:13:56.020 go to both objectives the one in afghanistan and interview the afghans as well as where we were

00:14:03.380 located where when they kicked us out of country and put us in a q8 that was what they were going to do 1.00

00:14:08.320 instead of doing what they said in their order they went entirely to kuwait and interrogated dogpiled

00:14:16.100 all of us for two months and then they got on the scene in afghanistan two months after the crime scene

00:14:21.860 and took the afghan's word at face value so at that point uh i was relieved of command i've sent home

00:14:29.520 there was a total of seven of us who were falsely accused of mass murder they said we killed 19 and

00:14:36.440 wounded 50 this was the largest number of alleged afghan civilians killed throughout the entire war

00:14:42.520 in afghanistan by machine gun fire and i was the commanding officer of this marine special operations

00:14:47.520 task force so the convening authority at that time was then lieutenant general jim mattis who was in

00:14:54.520 charge of all the marines in the middle east uh he had all the sworn statements of the 30 of us who

00:14:59.940 were on the patrol he had my polygraph uh that stated that i didn't see any civilians killed we didn't fire

00:15:07.700 any civilians so all this did was continue to antagonize general mattis as a convening authority

00:15:14.900 to use even further extreme sanctions against us to include a gag order they called it a protection order

00:15:22.540 steve so this was basically a shut us up and not just myself and they eventually named myself and one

00:15:29.840 other marine officer is the two co-defendants in the trial but uh they even said the two of us if we said

00:15:36.860 anything or our defense attorney said anything that they would be disbarred and we were we would be

00:15:41.720 punished so this is what happens in places like tehran when they want to uh use censure which is not

00:15:48.740 i mean thank god we have a first amendment that applies to all americans but this type of

00:15:54.620 information warfare is allowed against our enemies when it's approved we can do this type of information

00:16:02.080 operations but we are it's prohibited to do against american military personnel by our by our own military

00:16:09.860 personnel it's prohibited strictly forbidden to be used against the people of the united states but then

00:16:15.560 when we went into this courtroom go ahead see no no okay i just i want to make sure we set the stage here

00:16:22.900 properly you you um this is not a bunch of reservists or national guards you guys were kind of hand

00:16:30.180 selected the marines have this history of marine raiders and and marine force recon that are kind of the

00:16:36.540 elite inside the marine corps and the marine corps has always had this mentality we don't have a special we don't

00:16:41.840 have green berets we don't have special operators we don't have navy seals because every million every

00:16:46.580 marine is elite they start a special operations group under you these are hand-picked uh operators

00:16:53.540 that know what they're doing correct i mean they're they're they're they didn't pick any anybody that

00:16:57.680 just came off the uh the bus out of uh out of paris island that's correct these are experienced warriors

00:17:03.020 these weren't just the best of the best from force recon these were marines who since the war had

00:17:09.540 started in 2001 had been deploying in combat in force reconnaissance units to iraq and to afghanistan

00:17:17.360 i had previously done a tour as a force recon platoon commander across the pacific prior to the war

00:17:24.280 starting i was an instructor at the marine corps version of top gun at the time that when we entered

00:17:29.120 this ambush i was just a few months shy of my 19th year in the marine corps and the majority of those who

00:17:35.740 were in in that ambush that we were in were the most experienced not just in our in our unit but

00:17:43.720 from across the marine corps we did hand select and that's similar to what the common on the marine

00:17:50.180 corps back in 1944 with a stroke of a pen who disbanded the marine raiders said it's not in the best

00:17:55.920 interest of the marine corps having elite within an elite he said hand-picked units are bad for morale

00:18:02.060 and they disbanded the marines that went back in the marine raiders they sent back to the marine

00:18:07.660 infantry to go on and fight in okinawa but in our case you also saw this data point from what i just

00:18:14.720 described in world war ii it was repeated in 1987 when they formed the u.s special operations command

00:18:20.640 we were the only just as you had described steve we were the only service in the marine corps that did

00:18:26.560 not provide forces to the special operations command where all the u.s army rangers green berets navy seals

00:18:32.940 air force special operations they all assembled into one unit marine corps said we'll well abstain

00:18:40.840 we are an elite with an elite donald rumsfeld on his second tour is a secretary of defense in 2001

00:18:49.280 right after we were attacked ordered all the services to increase the capacity of special operations forces

00:18:55.160 they all did except for the marine corps marine corps tried to appease it by sending a few

00:18:59.620 officers down to the special operations command uh rumsfeld got further angered then the marine

00:19:05.400 corps started to slow roll it with an official proof of concept for two years to even see if we could

00:19:11.260 compete with the green berets and seals that dragged on for three years then guess what uh the

00:19:17.520 pentagon was wrong when they thought bush 43 would not get re-elected they thought he'd be like his

00:19:22.360 father one term president he got re-elected rumsfeld was kept on as the secretary of defense and ordered

00:19:29.320 the marine corps to activate a component within the marine within the u.s special operations command

00:19:35.700 so that let's just call it what it is steve it was basically an arranged marriage by the godfather

00:19:41.700 rumsfeld himself between the marine corps and special operations command uh that was actually on the 24th

00:19:48.600 of february 2006 that was officiated by rumsfeld who was there at the activation ceremony and we were

00:19:54.640 basically the love child we were the very first special operations task force to be selected

00:19:59.880 trained formed deployed and engage in combat against the enemy in afghanistan and uh and what's but what's

00:20:08.580 what's bizarre logically you would have gone to iraq because we're doing the surge at the time and this

00:20:13.140 unit was absolutely perfect for what the surge was doing but they divert you and send you to

00:20:20.200 afghanistan once in afghanistan they've got the coin you know this is a portray us this thing of coin

00:20:26.740 this counterinsurgency which is you know it's winning hearts and minds and you've got commanders there

00:20:32.620 and i'm not criticizing them but they're they they're not looking for guys to engage in in combat right

00:20:38.120 they're looking for essentially people that are essentially diplomats with rifles is that the way

00:20:43.220 to say it yes and to even show another data point before we go that they're in afghanistan the marine

00:20:51.080 corps's intention was what they actually did they they had us do an entire pre-deployment uh workup

00:20:59.100 for six months before we deployed with the regular conventional marine corps and under the leadership of

00:21:06.080 colonel sturdeman the marine expedition unit commander and redeployed on the uss baton on

00:21:10.940 the ships that's a that was their goal to keep us again under the marine corps wing don't let us slip

00:21:16.100 out like the navy seals that eventually broke loose and got off the ships uh the marine corps wanted us

00:21:21.520 working for the conventional forces and as as you well know the defense military industrial complex

00:21:27.980 all these generals the no the no general left behind program involves generals like you've all seen

00:21:34.320 general mattis uh general uh austin where they all go austin came from raytheon mattis went to general

00:21:42.160 dynamics so they all want to appease and they they realized like i better do what the secretary of

00:21:47.120 defense says to some degree and that's why the general brown in charge of the special operations

00:21:52.980 command did pull us off those ships and he sent us into afghanistan right there in the torpor mountains

00:21:58.580 at the base of the mountains uh right of afghan pakistan water and that's where we uh conducted

00:22:05.300 30 patrols and on the 30th patrol uh our mission steve was to conduct aggressive combat operations

00:22:12.580 across regional command east and that's exactly what i set out to do with our marine special operators

00:22:21.300 uh and on this mission on the 4th of march we were blown up and then we received fire from both

00:22:27.640 sides of the road it was nine o'clock in the morning well hang on hang on i just want to make sure i just

00:22:32.820 want to make sure people understand the afghans these guys been fighting this war a long time the

00:22:36.500 taliban this was a comp what would you call a complex ambush ieds crossfire uh defense in depth i mean

00:22:44.680 they had had this plot do you think they had a leak on intelligence and know that you guys were coming

00:22:50.060 to set the ambush yes you're uh teasing the book there steve and i appreciate that so we had made

00:22:57.820 for coordination earlier that morning with the an army unit right assigned immediately on the afghan

00:23:04.680 pakistan border this was an army military police unit and they were out there in their vehicles doing

00:23:10.120 rehearsals and some people think well that's good that's what you're supposed to do before you go out

00:23:14.020 on patrol but they were doing it in broad daylight in the valley right at the base of these mountains 0.99

00:23:19.400 surrounding there in the khyber pass which in all honesty is was stupid to do it in broad daylight 0.84

00:23:26.140 telegraphing that you're about ready to go on patrols their immediate action drills consisted of

00:23:30.820 when they'd say contact right they announced what the drill was to the enemy that's guess what is up in

00:23:37.400 those mountains observers uh observing the military camp uh so they'd see them do these drills and the army

00:23:44.600 soldiers would duck down inside the turret and yell run drive drive so they were basically rehearsing

00:23:50.380 that if they got attacked they would duck and run that patrol was heading out that morning uh we headed

00:23:56.960 out before them and we went further south up into the torbora mountains to do a visual amount of

00:24:03.860 reconnaissance of routes that we could later conduct uh reconnaissance patrols in the in the mountains where we

00:24:10.080 were assigned to conduct our patrols uh eventually the the army did take a additional time to leave the

00:24:18.400 base and that allowed us to finish our reconnaissance of the mountains and then we entered the road

00:24:23.660 heading into this village this first village on the afghan side of the uh the border there the afghan

00:24:32.060 and pakistan border let's have your audience consider uh this is basically uh can be compared

00:24:38.920 to an amazon fulfillment center so at that time we could not go into pakistan so they would get foreign 1.00

00:24:45.040 fighters and they'd fully radicalize them in pakistan and then they'd move them across the border because

00:24:50.440 we americans just paid for this the first paved road in afghanistan so they they weren't coming across 1.00

00:24:55.500 the mountains where we were told to conduct reconnaissance they just bribed the the border guard

00:25:00.120 they came right across and then they'd end up at this basic logistics note think amazon fulfillment

00:25:05.560 like i said so they would link up there with their handlers and the taliban would protect that with

00:25:11.240 suicide bombers and on that morning we knew we had the information that there was four suicide bombers

00:25:17.440 we even knew where they were located so but this uh counterinsurgency strategy that both petraeus and

00:25:25.260 general mattis both authored and came out in a joint doctrine that was implemented in late 2006 in october

00:25:32.440 2006 when we fell under the nato rules of engagement and uh so instead of using information to go and

00:25:38.480 target the enemy like we had done for years in combat operations in iraq no now we had to go actually

00:25:44.260 conduct a tribal leader engagement sit down have chai discuss this over hopefully this taliban controlled

00:25:51.880 village would give us some intelligence but uh that was it's kind of ridiculous uh but that is what

00:25:57.780 these leaders they didn't ever want to go and win the war they just all they wanted to do is go

00:26:03.500 fight the war spend money spend lives but then all these weapon systems that are sold by the military

00:26:10.960 industrial complex to the military well those generals who are on those boards make lavish

00:26:16.460 salaries get flown in on the lear jet right into reagan national international airport and and they

00:26:23.580 got their return on investment let's keep this war going forever we had won it up until 2005 now they

00:26:29.720 went into the process of losing it major just hang on for one second we'll take a short commercial break

00:30:22.280 this it is unbelievable the the the the valor the courage but also the strength of character to go

00:30:28.780 through this kafka-esque nightmare where you know what you did was right you know what you did 0.87

00:30:34.380 was for the good of your country for the good of your men for the good of your unit for the good of the

00:30:39.960 pride of one of the most famous uh fighting um uh groups in world history the united states marine corps

00:30:47.800 uh and you just see what's going on and i don't want to i don't want to give that part away

00:30:51.720 uh this is a book and when i say you must read it particularly everybody that's interested in national

00:30:57.100 security affairs or interested in the military and everybody's very concerned the america first

00:31:01.260 part of our audience is very concerned about these constant deployments look

00:31:04.700 major i gotta bring you in here because my daughter was 101st airborne uh and deployed to

00:31:09.780 iraq and i gotta tell you that when she was gone you you you sit there and you understand you pray

00:31:15.620 every night you just understand it is in god's hands you absolutely have particularly a control

00:31:20.200 freak like me you have absolutely no control whatsoever but then you read what happened to you

00:31:25.800 and i gotta sit there i just sat there and go my god for the grace of god this does not happen to 0.52

00:31:30.520 maureen or her unit or something like this because it's absolutely it's almost like a hitchcock thriller

00:31:36.280 that's why i don't want to give away the end the twist and turns of this thing are amazing the

00:31:40.880 question i have for you do you feel that your country or parts of the defense department stole

00:31:48.660 a big number of years of your life because i don't know how you went through this and and and

00:31:53.280 finally to be well i don't want to say what happened i'm not going to say what happened but

00:31:56.900 do you think that you got that you had uh that you had part of your life stolen

00:32:00.860 yes so the seven of us who were falsely accused it did destroy portions of our lives the the health

00:32:09.760 we had a the co-defendant that went went on trial with me ended up getting cancer uh he survived but

00:32:17.020 had to have severe surgery radiation his senior enlisted was a complete physical stud ended up

00:32:23.700 uh getting diabetes and nearly passing from that but the divorce the financial ruin uh this is

00:32:32.540 something that is i wish was never something that could happen even to our worst enemies uh when you

00:32:39.840 have your own government put a gag war on you and use this information warfare to paint a picture that

00:32:46.820 you murdered mass murdered civilians uh because they kept moving i don't want to give everything out

00:32:53.800 uh in the book but they continued to move the media out of the courtroom during all not just defense

00:33:00.880 witnesses with exculpatory evidence but uh the character witnesses so all the media heard was this

00:33:08.020 one-sided false narrative that we mass murdered these individuals now the jury heard everything

00:33:13.460 and they acquitted us but what happened in the press for seven more years that i continued to serve

00:33:18.900 and you can you made a nice statement about us that uh you know we were this elite band of warriors but

00:33:24.740 some people probably question our judgment because the request that myself and the rest of us was to go

00:33:29.940 right back overseas and fight and that's what we did uh and i continued to serve for seven more years

00:33:35.700 until i hit service limitations but then they continued to attack us even the day i retired

00:33:41.820 so the press just okay um i'm gonna have it's i'm gonna have you back on later in the week to go

00:33:50.480 through it more do you have any media or speaking engagements that people can can know of the book

00:35:24.900 that's at the pentagon right now uh which comes through in this book a few bad men by major fred

00:35:30.900 galvin united states marine court retired major thank you very much for joining us honored thank you very

00:35:36.380 much sir pleasure thank you sir okay i want to bring in brian kennedy brian you're the you're

00:35:43.380 the founding chairman or the the one of the founders of the committee on the present danger china

00:35:47.400 it's mind-boggling how this happened but since i'm crammed for time uh tell me about the claremont

00:35:53.440 institute the great claremont issues has been so much of the intellectual thought leader and really

00:35:57.700 you've been one of the great guiding lights there the new york times went after it hard over the

00:36:02.900 weekend but i when i read it i called you i said brother this is like a paid advertisement tell me

00:36:07.680 tell me about the tell me about the claremont institute in the new york times coming after you

00:36:11.760 guys hard yeah well it was actually the washington post just a slight correction there oh it was the

00:36:18.180 post was that the post okay fine yeah yeah mark fisher and isaac uh stanley becker and these are two

00:36:24.680 two you know wow left-wing journalists who hate trump they hate the trump movement they don't like

00:36:32.260 the idea of conservative intellectuals fighting back against uh you know all the political forces

00:36:40.020 and all the establishment it's one of the reasons they're going after you so hard steve it's not just

00:36:45.300 that it that you helped win the election in 2016 you continue to fight and the the media simply despises

00:36:53.820 that as does the left in this piece in the washington post to go after the claremont institute

00:36:59.420 which was really at the forefront of making the argument that president trump's victory was

00:37:06.420 important and it was important because politically he was realigning the country behind the principles

00:37:14.220 of the american founding limited constitutional government and the idea that america is a good

00:37:20.520 country that's one of the things the media really despises about both president trump and the claremont

00:37:28.240 institute in this article and so in it they go after our colleague who's been on the war room many

00:37:34.620 times john eastman and john of course as we know had come up with the strategy for dealing with

00:37:40.320 the theft of the election on january 6th and so they're they're trying to use the piece to discredit

00:37:46.660 john to discredit president trump to discredit the claremont institute but they simply it simply

00:37:52.980 doesn't work in a way because the claremont institute stands for american freedom american liberty

00:38:00.100 and a defense of that and the one thing i think they don't like about the claremont institute the most

00:38:05.720 is that when you talk about conservatives i know cpac is coming up but when you talk about conservatism

00:38:13.300 what are we conserving these days well at claremont they're they're conserving if anything the american

00:38:20.440 revolution and the principles of the american revolution and the principles of american liberty

00:38:26.020 and those are the things that are just so powerful so much of conservatism today is just about

00:38:32.580 you know working the washington process and proposing these laws and that laws and cutting taxes and

00:38:40.060 it's been dubbed conservatism inc the thing about claremont it really was a revolutionary and is a

00:38:46.440 revolutionary organization and that's one of the reasons that so many claremont folks went into

00:38:52.020 the trump administration with the ambition of dismantling the administrative state that you

00:38:57.820 yourself have talked about now i tell you what the what you can tell the anger of the post of the

00:39:05.720 writers is how could intellectuals be attracted to donald trump and what he stands for i mean because

00:39:11.980 they've always made trump is just this barbarian right how could they have these really smart guys 0.93

00:39:16.820 so they have to be corrupt they have to be on the payroll there has to be something twisted about them

00:39:22.020 but that's what's amazing hang over a second brian i want to i want to do this with you here because

00:39:25.940 you've been so great and as an intellectual leader about stop the steal and by the way the new york

00:39:30.820 times i got that one right the new york times uh over the weekend had the the new york times

00:39:35.740 magazine was stop the steal right on the cover with a beautiful beautiful black and white photography

00:39:40.580 it's all throughout there's a cover story uh you've got tina peters you got everybody

00:39:44.840 in fact tina peters is profile mastriana tina peters a big part of this story i want to bring

00:39:49.980 in now jeff o'donnell and deraza smith so jeff explain to our audience take like five minutes

00:39:56.100 and make the best case because it's kind of confusing you put up any chart you want i think

00:39:59.900 memphis has got your stuff make a case here so people can understand why tina just didn't get 0.99

00:40:06.420 beaten because they had somebody that faked it like that she was maga but she wasn't and and why

00:40:12.720 do you say it's the machine so make the case make the case for tina peters uh thank you thank you very

00:40:19.200 much uh in looking at the data that came out of the primary and i want to point out that it took us

00:40:24.820 months to figure out what data came out of the uh the originally of the 2020 election and what it meant

00:40:30.700 and now we're basically able to see that it's real time now in the primaries and from now on

00:40:35.040 uh the the data that we had to work with which is largely the data that was in the election night

00:40:39.520 reporting it it shows a very unnatural pattern of voting and what i mean by that is that if you look

00:40:46.680 at the uh the election by what was reported on election night the the rate the gap between the

00:40:52.800 the uh candidates in other words the number of votes between candidate one and candidate two between

00:40:57.060 uh anderson and tina peters for instance in her race it was fixed uh within the first couple of

00:41:03.860 updates during the night and then remained remarkably the same the rest of the night uh these are mail-in

00:41:09.620 votes they should be arriving fairly randomly when they're brought in uh and and not the only race

00:41:15.460 other races uh in the state show that that same thing there's a good example uh you can see that the

00:41:21.160 the difference between the blue and the red line the blue is uh anderson and uh the red is tina peters

00:41:27.000 uh the the number of vote difference between them was established within the first two or three

00:41:32.540 updates and it maintained in lockstep uh the rest of the way and the fact that that happens isn't isn't

00:41:38.660 natural and it was the first thing that uh that i spotted that led me to believe that there was there

00:41:43.600 was something wrong especially since it happened in many races now if you could bring up the uh the

00:41:49.620 lauren bobert race i'll show you what is a more natural something that we look for

00:41:54.040 uh you'll see when that comes up that uh in that race you see a more uh you know you see the blue

00:42:02.080 which is lauren bobert and the the red which was uh her uh the other candidate uh it sort of increases

00:42:08.480 over time as you would expect in a in a not close election uh like that you know the the ratio between

00:42:16.240 them changes or the the number of votes between the candidates you know it changes during the night

00:42:21.380 uh and that is what you expect to see the fact that we don't see that in uh the senate race and

00:42:28.000 tina's secretary of state race and also the uh governor primary race uh is is definitely something

00:42:34.160 that that is is alarming and needs explained uh deraza you want to you want to jump in here and give

00:42:41.420 your perspective on it before i go back to uh jeff sure thanks so i've been looking at a little um

00:42:47.680 a deep more detailed at the county level and when we look at the county level we've been able to get

00:42:53.040 the cast vote records which is how the votes are counted ballot by ballot over time and um when we when

00:43:02.680 we look at that i send in some uh some graphs about that and um you can see as the as the votes uh come

00:43:11.280 in some things that are really interesting with uh the ratio between hanks so we can talk about that

00:43:20.080 but there's a there's a vote between hanks and um and uh oh oh um hanks and o'day for the senate

00:43:30.560 and tina peters and pam anderson for the secretary of state and then um lopez and ganal for the 0.98

00:43:38.400 governor and when you plot out the ratio of votes you would expect that the people that were supporting

00:43:44.680 the america first candidates in one race would support the american first candidates in another

00:43:49.040 race but we see an extreme uh delta between those two so some people are coming in and voting for the

00:43:55.840 america first candidates at the beginning of the race and then not at the end of the race and vice

00:44:02.560 versa for the other uh races so that they end at the very same ratio and it looks like the candidates

00:44:08.200 had the same amount of support when in fact when you look at how it accumulated over time it's not the

00:44:14.240 case let me go back to uh to jeff for a second jeff is if this is uh the um if uh if uh this is

00:44:24.720 uh the is this your pattern recognition if this is the best you've got or this information you got

00:44:30.620 why can't you go into court with that and and force some judge or go to court and make a case with

00:44:36.820 lawyers that this should give you some sort of injunction or tr or something to stop the process

00:44:42.480 so you then have some time to try to get organized to go back and have a hand ballot count i mean what

00:44:47.900 what evidence besides these graphs and the and the and obviously the anomalies as it looks like in the

00:44:54.840 in the patterns of how the votes came in i mean what more do you have than that or is that basically it

00:45:00.460 well in my opinion what you just heard is is two different ways of describing uh the things that

00:45:07.680 weren't right uh that don't look right in that election one through the election night reporting and

00:45:11.860 one through the cast vote record that comes right from the county itself in my opinion this should be

00:45:16.720 enough information to get a temporary restraining order uh to give people time it's only been a few

00:45:21.780 weeks now since that election uh and there's a very short window that they give you to to try to

00:45:28.600 uh come up with with proof and uh we of course we can't make up data as much as we'd like to

00:45:34.340 uh we have to use what we have and what is available and getting this data takes time but hang

00:45:39.900 but hold up but hold but hang on this what i'm saying with what deraza has at the county level

00:45:45.220 and what you've shown do the lawyers not think that's enough to go in and make a presentation

00:45:50.880 and say hey all we want to do is slow things down here so we can get into it and actually take a

00:45:55.460 look at i understand that tina's trying to raise money to i think the deadlines tomorrow as she said

00:46:00.560 on the morning show to be able to raise two hundred thirty six thousand dollars in order to get and it's

00:46:05.220 got to come in donors and uh twelve uh twelve hundred twelve hundred fifty dollar increments

00:46:09.640 which is tough that you have to uh that if she doesn't do it tomorrow it goes away so so why

00:46:16.560 wasn't the information you had enough to go into court and try to get a judge at least to get some

00:46:20.960 media exposure and get a judge to focus on particularly what deraza has i'm not privy to all of the uh the

00:46:28.940 machinations legally now in my opinion it should have been done i thought that uh i i actually in my

00:46:37.320 opinion i thought that it was happening and it may still be happening uh uh it that would be you

00:46:42.680 know i i would approach it both ways uh simply because you never know what sort of a judge you're

00:46:48.880 going to run into and what other problems you have hang hang hang hang hold it hold it let's say you

00:46:53.500 walk in and i'm gonna get to deraza a second let's say you walk in we're in court today you're in front

00:46:57.960 of a judge and it's one of these hurried things you got to get in you're trying to get just a

00:47:01.220 restraining order or tro or an injunction to stop everything in place give me your best argument

00:47:07.420 without pointing to any grass you're just sitting there in the docket what's your best argument to

00:47:11.480 the judge the judge we need to look at what because of these anomalies what's your what's your best case

00:47:16.960 my best case is well you have to say though you have to admit that there are these anomalies

00:47:22.920 uh that occurred uh there are other anomalies in that the uh the you know some internal polling

00:47:29.200 that they have was was very very different than the result that happened but also i i think that

00:47:34.960 what you have to say is but hold it hold it but hold it but hold it hang on hang on hang on but the

00:47:41.960 internal polling is not going to count particularly i understand internal polling on a on a primary for

00:47:47.440 a secretary of state in a state could be so far off as to be things so that's what but tell me the

00:47:54.100 evidence i understand there's a crisis of confidence but what's the evidence you're going to tell the

00:47:58.540 judge that we need an injunction to stop so that we can get in there and spend days weeks or months

00:48:03.780 however it's going to take to get to the bottom of what are you going to tell the judge is it the

00:48:07.160 pattern recognition you've got in the uh in these charts if i could talk to the judge i would tell him

00:48:13.160 it is the patterns in this chart and i would relate those back to patterns in the 2020 election

00:48:17.800 which are similar which which showed fraud then to me that's enough of a probable cause to to

00:48:23.720 to push the brakes on this thing and make sure they get it right uh daraza you you've got 60 seconds

00:48:32.200 make your case to the judge ma'am we are seeing the exact same things that we saw in the 2020 election

00:48:39.100 when we look at the cast vote records from the machines we see that the initial votes start with

00:48:45.500 the very heavy preference for the one for the candidate that was um not not the pref not not

00:48:52.840 expected to win and then we see it rise in ratio over time towards the candidate that would have been

00:49:02.460 the uh expected to win but they never they never do win but there's never any step back for preference

00:49:09.400 for that candidate that started out with such a heavy ratio even though the votes are are the majority

00:49:15.320 of the votes are mail-in which should be a random opinion of the entire county so that kind of uh

00:49:21.240 statistical segregation is very odd and when you get the same shape in a democrat to republican

00:49:26.560 that you get in a republican to republican primary very okay uh daraza give real quickly give your

00:49:34.540 social media how do people find out more about what you're doing and to get to the bottom of this
