00:00:30.000 I know you're trying to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:00:34.860 And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega Media.
00:00:39.560 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:45.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:48.780 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:54.960 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:01:00.000 Monday, 17th, February, Year of the Lord, 2025.
00:01:07.080 Dr. Sean, to continue on, this is why I don't want people to get caught in,
00:01:11.280 because we're going to have Terry Schilling on in a moment,
00:01:15.280 and we're going to talk about these court orders.
00:01:18.080 They're fighting everything President Trump's doing, whether it's trying to negotiate a peace in Ukraine to get us the hell out of there,
00:01:26.000 the Middle East, whether it's talking about tariffs,
00:01:30.820 you know, taking back the Panama Canal, his new geostrategic hemispheric defense,
00:01:35.060 or what we're doing across the board on legal, whether it's Elon Musk doing Doge or the transgender, you know, executive order sign it.
00:01:45.180 Everywhere there's resistance here.
00:01:47.180 The Chinese Communist Party is not just going to lay down.
00:01:51.000 In fact, there's a big controversy about Bridge Colby.
00:01:53.260 I do support Bridge Colby, although Bridge Colby's not as hard-line as I am on the CCP.
00:02:00.460 He wrote a great book, Strategy of Denial, where he says we have to deny them dominance in East Asia, 1.00
00:02:06.960 and some of my colleagues that are as hard anti-CCP as I am are saying,
00:02:12.160 well, no, he doesn't want to take the war to him.
00:02:13.700 He doesn't want to confront him.
00:02:14.840 My point is, hey, he doesn't want to go to war in Persia,
00:02:17.940 and he wants to get the hell out of Ukraine.
00:02:19.620 You know, we'll get him up the learning curve here on the CCP.
00:02:24.860 But this is an active debate this week about confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party,
00:02:29.860 and there are hawks like myself that said, hey, we've got to take the torch to the enemy here.
00:02:34.420 We've got to cut him off from capital, cut him off from technology.
00:02:37.260 And there's other – even the moderates now in Washington are saying, yes, we need an active defense of the South China Sea.
00:02:43.520 The Chinese Communist Party looks at all that.
00:02:46.000 They have more access to the news, and they have departments of tens of thousands of people
00:02:51.420 that go through podcasts, what's happening on Capitol Hill, every newspaper.
00:02:55.800 They're reading the Epoch Times.
00:02:57.520 They're watching new federal state of China.
00:03:00.240 They're going to respond, and I'm just telling people, hey,
00:03:03.060 because nobody knows about the generic drugs thing.
00:03:05.300 Everybody thinks, oh, it just comes to the United States.
00:03:06.880 It does not.
00:03:07.620 They have 100% control of active pharmaceutical ingredients and essentially 100% control of generics.
00:03:13.400 India, I think, makes 20%, but that all comes from API out of China.
00:03:18.440 You're the only people in the world that have come up with a solution for that, Dr. Sean.
00:03:22.440 So walk people through what's the solution and particularly how they get more information
00:03:26.400 because I tell you, once people know what the story is, they're saying, hey, I've got to get ahead of this
00:03:30.940 because you never know when something's going to happen.
00:03:32.600 Yeah, I mean, that was a great review of the situation that we're in
00:03:37.700 when it comes to these generic medications, our dependency on China.
00:03:41.640 People say, well, yeah, what about India?
00:03:43.340 And you said it.
00:03:44.780 India, we found out over COVID, came out and said that they get over two-thirds of their ingredients from China.
00:03:50.700 This isn't just a U.S.-China problem.
00:03:52.460 This is a global problem.
00:03:54.420 Everybody stands in the same line to get their drugs from China.
00:03:58.660 And China, this has been years in the making. 0.86
00:04:01.280 This is a concerted effort for them to take control of this entire global supply, this industry.
00:04:07.560 It's the ace up their sleeve.
00:04:09.460 And you're right.
00:04:10.180 Not enough people are talking about it.
00:04:11.860 Certainly, China doesn't want people talking about it because this is a huge strategic advantage that they have.
00:04:18.660 And so where does that leave us as individuals caught in the middle of all this supply chain disruption,
00:04:23.820 geopolitical tensions, all the things that you mentioned?
00:04:26.880 And that's where Jace comes in.
00:04:30.060 That's why we created it.
00:04:31.300 It was a way to take this issue and allow people to empower themselves on an individual level for themselves, for their families, to be protected.
00:04:40.680 We're talking about not – this isn't a precious metal.
00:04:45.180 This isn't – this is core to what you need on a daily basis to survive for a lot of people.
00:04:54.520 This is your blood pressure medications, your seizure medications, the antibiotics that keep you from dying from overwhelming infection.
00:05:03.300 These are vital medications.
00:05:06.200 So at Jace, our mission is to get everyone access to these medications, to have them in an amount that they can withstand a certain degree of this inevitable disruption that's coming.
00:05:18.980 And really what we've done is tried to make it as easy, as convenient, and as affordable as possible.
00:05:25.840 It's as easy as just going to the website.
00:05:27.920 It's Jace.com, J-A-S-E.com.
00:05:32.580 Once you get to the website, you can decide whether you're trying to get medications for, like I mentioned, the blood pressure, things you might take on a daily basis, thyroid disorders, anxiety, depression,
00:05:43.480 or whether you're looking for emergency-type medications, things like antibiotics, antivirals, things that you would need in an emergency situation.
00:05:51.760 We allow access to both those kind of classifications of medications.
00:05:57.240 You can get a year's supply of your daily meds.
00:05:59.720 You can get an extended supply of antibiotics before you get sick.
00:06:03.580 That's the thing that we're trying to get people to wrap their heads around, that, yes, you can do this.
00:06:07.980 You can get medications before you get sick so that when that infection does happen and you're going to the pharmacy and the pharmacy shelves are bare, you've got what you need.
00:06:18.780 Or whether you're in a bad storm, a flood, a blizzard, you can't get out of your house, you can't get to the pharmacy, you need to have these medications at hand in your home.
00:06:29.320 That's the message we're trying to get out.
00:06:31.140 We've made the process as easy as we can.
00:06:33.580 It's Jace.com, J-A-S-E.
00:06:37.000 Prepare.
00:06:37.480 By the way, two tough hombres, Dr. Peter Navarro and Donald J. Trump, try to get an alternative.
00:06:42.740 It's down, I think, outside my hometown of Richmond, down I think near Hopewell, the factory or whatever has just stood up now.
00:06:49.980 I think six or seven years.
00:06:51.020 It's not easy.
00:06:51.700 This thing is not going to change.
00:06:53.440 The CCP understand they got us.
00:06:56.180 They got us and they ain't going to give it up.
00:06:58.720 This is a major strategic advantage to them.
00:07:02.420 They're not going to give it up.
00:07:03.500 So go to Jace.
00:07:04.040 One more time.
00:07:04.560 Where do they go, Dr. Sean?
00:07:06.100 It's Jace, J-A-S-E.com.
00:07:08.660 You can get additional information there or you can just go through the order process.
00:07:11.760 It takes 10 minutes.
00:07:14.620 Thank you, brother.
00:07:15.400 Appreciate you building this company up.
00:07:17.760 Thanks, Steve.
00:07:19.700 Look what happened in Kentucky and look what happened in Virginia in the rains.
00:07:23.600 Just get ahead of it.
00:07:24.500 By the way, the governor of Kentucky said great things about President Trump and Kristi Noem just a little while ago.
00:07:30.800 Andy Brashear, who's probably going to run at 28, said never seen such a response, such a quick response.

00:10:20.940 Thank you, brother. 0.51
00:10:21.520 Appreciate you.
00:10:22.040 Terry Schilling.
00:10:27.940 Explain to the audience, because the war now in the courts is all over.
00:10:32.000 The transgender issue, President Trump, correct me if I'm wrong, like the first couple of things he does out of the box, he signs that.
00:10:40.020 And because people realize that the country's outraged about it, it also brought so many people to our movement.
00:10:44.380 And they can see this is something not going on, right?
00:10:47.840 It's just weird.
00:10:49.040 And, you know, you've had a bunch of Democrats here the last 72 hours saying, hey, one of the reasons this thing came down to, yeah, it was economics.
00:10:55.100 But they just said, hey, look, the folks in the Republicans look normal.
00:10:58.960 This other stuff is too weird.
00:11:00.720 You got these weird people running around.
00:11:02.460 I don't want any part of it.
00:11:03.340 President gets on top of it, signs an amazing executive order.
00:11:08.240 Tell the audience we're hung up.
00:11:11.220 Why are we hung up?
00:11:12.200 And why are we hung up across the nation?
00:11:13.760 Because this is what's driving President Trump nuts right now.
00:11:16.480 Well, again, thanks so much for having me, Steve.
00:11:18.440 What President Trump did right out of the gate is start protecting our kids and the most vulnerable of our society are our women and girls.
00:11:26.040 So I think it was three days after he was sworn in, he signed probably the most robust and aggressive protections for our kids against the trans industry I've ever seen. 0.99
00:11:36.380 It was the longest EO I've seen so far.
00:11:39.000 It instructed the federal government to participate in no way whatsoever in transitioning minors.
00:11:44.960 That's the 30,000-foot view.
00:11:46.660 But it goes into specific details.
00:11:48.340 It even instructs the Department of Justice to investigate clinics and surgeons and doctors, anyone that's been involved in making money and pushing these horrific surgeries and hormone changes on children, investigating them by the DOJ.
00:12:01.980 I mean that has a chilling effect, and what we've seen since that executive order is the issues only exploded in popularity amongst the American people, which means that the left can only fight us in the courts on this.
00:12:15.280 So just a few days ago, we had a federal judge, a Biden appointee who's been on the bench for like 30 seconds, do a nationwide injunction that's going to last supposedly 14 days, but we know how these things go.
00:12:28.260 But it's supposed to last 14 days.
00:12:29.800 It's shutting down President Trump's executive order all across the country.
00:12:33.340 And what's really important to understand, Steve, is that we are protecting children from incredibly invasive, destructive, and I'll remind everyone, experimental procedures that have never been done on human beings before at this scale.
00:12:49.540 We have never sterilized and done surgeries to children at this scale with this intended purposes of changing their biological sex.
00:12:57.660 Let's not forget, they are trying to change the kids' biological sex, which is not possible. 0.82
00:13:03.200 Through hormone replacement therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries, it's not possible.
00:13:08.180 And for this judge to shut down this order banning these experimental procedures that are causing serious harm and sterilizing children before they can even consent to sexual relations and reproduction itself, they're shutting these protections down for our kids.
00:13:21.620 Did they shut down the executive order at the same time they said full halt on all the experimentation?
00:13:26.160 Are the experimentation still going on and there's a stay on the order?
00:13:30.180 I wish it would be just a full-fledged pause until we figure what's going on here, but it was just a stop of President Trump's executive order.
00:13:38.440 You're kidding me.
00:13:39.040 So this stuff's still going on?
00:13:40.500 It's still going on.
00:13:41.180 If the President of the United States has said, I want it stopped?
00:13:43.500 Well, they're still going to be performing these.
00:13:45.380 So what happened when President Trump came out with his executive order is it essentially shut down the operations at every major hospital in the country.
00:13:52.300 Even New York-Sinai shut down these procedures, and they're one of the biggest hospitals in the country that does these.
00:13:59.400 But children's hospital after children's hospital across the country announced that they were no longer going to be carrying through with these.
00:14:06.740 And what this judicial decision does, it's a nationwide injunction.
00:14:10.760 We've got to get away from these nationwide injunctions.
00:14:13.180 I have no clue how this is supposed to be a check and balance on the administration.
00:14:17.880 We have let this stuff go far, far too long, but I don't know how one judge can shut down a rule for the entire country.
00:14:28.100 It makes no sense.
00:14:28.720 The Supreme Court's going – and the Supreme Court's already threatened to take back this power from the lower courts.
00:14:35.080 They've never had it.
00:14:36.380 This is an abuse of power.
00:14:37.820 But yes, this was not protecting kids.
00:14:40.140 This was not pausing it.
00:14:41.320 This was stopping President Trump's executive order from being able to be implemented.
00:14:44.900 So where we stand now in the process that's a 14-day hold, when are we going and argue?
00:14:52.260 And obviously some decision here is going to go to an appellate court.
00:14:55.520 I mean you're starting the whole process, right?
00:14:57.520 Yeah.
00:14:57.860 Look, Steve, I hate to lie or BS people.
00:15:01.200 I'm not as up to speed on the courts as I should be.
00:15:04.280 I'm much more focused on the politics of this.
00:15:06.540 And the politics of this –
00:15:07.900 Well, politics is a home run win.
00:15:10.080 It's a home run win.
00:15:11.020 I mean CNN is even saying that this is a home run win.
00:15:14.620 And they did this just after President Trump did the executive order signing.
00:15:17.840 They showed that after he signed the executive order, 79 percent of Americans supported his executive order, kicking men out of women's sports.
00:15:25.800 But the big tell, Steve, was that before the election, before President Trump got elected, it was only at 62 percent of the American people supporting what he did.
00:15:34.360 The support for the pro-biology, pro-science, pro-normalcy movement under President Trump is growing.
00:15:41.960 And it's because he's fighting for us.
00:15:43.740 This is something that I think most Americans aren't used to.
00:15:46.420 And see, one thing that we've been actually doing now and producing campaign ads, we're going back to those swing voters that we targeted profusely throughout the entire election.
00:15:56.000 And we're making sure that these voters know that President Trump has kept his promises, promises made or promises delivered and kept by President Trump.
00:16:04.720 He's such a different Republican.
00:16:06.100 And we want to make sure that all these swing voters who have been disillusioned by Republicans of the past and Democrats of the past who have always broken their promises and sold us out, we want to make sure that these people know that President Trump has reformed the Republican Party to actually deliver on our promises.
00:16:19.640 This is one that's going to be fought in the courts, but nothing's to stop after this, as we're punching through this, for President Trump to tell Bobby Kennedy, pull all the funding from these hospitals, correct?
00:16:34.460 No, that's exactly right.
00:16:35.580 And, Steve, we did a report to help out Doge, and it's just my team doing it.
00:16:40.600 But we identified $174 million that the federal government was spending.
00:16:45.480 What? Stop, stop, stop.
00:16:46.580 I'm not exaggerating.
00:16:48.020 No, no.
00:16:48.500 Come on.
00:16:49.000 You're ruining my dinner now.
00:16:50.180 Come on.
00:16:51.260 $174 million taxpayer money is going out for this?
00:16:53.900 To push gender identity. 0.80
00:16:55.320 And, Steve, I wish it was all abroad.
00:16:57.500 A lot of it's spent abroad.
00:16:59.100 Like, for example, they spent over $2 million to support the gender-diverse people of Bangladesh.
00:17:04.840 $2 million just down the drain to support this stuff.
00:17:07.560 But a lot of it's been spent here at home, and it's been pushed in our schools.
00:17:11.100 And, Steve, that gets to the other story that you put.
00:17:14.360 That's what I love about you guys at War Room is a lot of times you're tipping me off about the news of the day.
00:17:20.440 But Democrats right now – there's a news article today.
00:17:22.880 It's fantastic.
00:17:24.020 Democrats right now are fretting because they have a baby bust.
00:17:26.740 You shouldn't be shocked at the party of giving men free vasectomies at the DNC and women-free abortions at the DNC is all of a sudden having a baby bust. 0.89
00:17:37.040 What's going on here?
00:17:37.880 Isn't this your intended purpose?
00:17:39.820 This actually explains, Steve, why –
00:17:41.460 This is very serious, though, because this leads to the demographic problem, right?
00:17:44.680 As much as we don't like Democrats, we love people having babies.
00:17:47.900 They're having nuclear winter over there, but it makes sense when you look at their policies, which is anti-family and anti-baby.
00:17:53.220 No, it's – and they want to indoctrinate our kids in schools, right?
00:17:57.220 So look at me and how I'm doing it, Steve.
00:17:59.440 Like, I got seven kids.
00:18:00.940 I'm raising them to be pro-America.
00:18:02.940 They all love Trump.
00:18:04.280 They don't like more government in their lives.
00:18:06.480 They don't like this gender, weird culture war stuff that the Dems are pushing on them.
00:18:09.820 Dems don't get to do that with their own kids because they think that kids are bad. 0.90
00:18:14.360 So what they do instead is they give bureaucrats at the Department of Education and at the local level and education everywhere to implement these gender identity programs, these anti-bullying programs.
00:18:24.960 I teach my kids not to bully, right?
00:18:26.980 Like, this is a job that most normal parents do is they teach their kids not to be bullies, to be everyone's friend, to be supportive of everyone.
00:18:33.040 But these guys manipulate these government programs and use it to push these weird cultural and sexual agendas on our kids. 0.56
00:18:40.300 But we've got to get this figured out, Steve, because the Democrats' way of solving the population crisis is going to be to continue to have unrestricted borders, let anyone and everyone come into this country, endangering us.
00:18:52.480 We've had so much crime because of illegal immigration, but they're also going to try and do this by buying and selling babies. 1.00
00:19:00.220 There's this whole – we talk about the trans industry, but there is a fertility industry in this country, and they're making a lot of money by making babies and then discarding all the ones that didn't fit the genetic makeup. 0.97
00:19:11.660 So we've got to figure this stuff out, but we want Dems having more kids, by the way. 1.00
00:19:16.700 With the enhancement, it's going to get worse.
00:19:18.580 We're about to have a societal and civilizational issue.
00:19:22.940 I had a very smart guy come into the wardroom to head a meeting.
00:19:26.340 He's a progressive.
00:19:27.320 It has nothing to do with our movement, but a very smart guy.
00:19:29.520 We're walking through artificial intelligence, and he says, look, I think we're 36 months away max from AGI.
00:19:35.040 If that's the case, then we're going to have massive societal upheaval about this artificial intelligence, and this leads to a whole thing of enhancement, and you're going to have babies, and what's the – the baby's going to be – you're going to do CRISPR and the babies.
00:19:47.780 It's just the people are not ready.
00:19:48.940 The society is not ready to make these.
00:19:50.300 These decisions are tough.
00:19:52.200 Well, and who's going to raise these babies? 0.97
00:19:53.940 And look, I know that there's the jokes, oh, this is good, that we don't want Democrats raising babies anyway.
00:19:58.940 But I'll tell you, we've done a lot – at American Princess Project, we've actually done a lot of research on this.
00:20:02.820 And we've found that getting married and having babies actually is a threshold to becoming a conservative, to becoming more American.
00:20:09.820 The people that get married and have babies and stay in those marriages, they end up producing conservatives.
00:20:16.360 They think conservatively, and it's because – think about your own life.
00:20:20.180 When you have brothers and sisters, when you have a married mom and dad, you learn that there are rules.
00:20:24.680 You learn that there are societal expectations.
00:20:27.240 You're forced to put up with people that you really can't stand.
00:20:29.940 People that do really terrible things, you're forced to forgive them and learn how to get over it.
00:20:34.680 But we want Democrats having babies, and I know it's a tripe, but we do because it makes them more conservative.
00:20:40.460 It's an amazing article, though, but it shows you their policies come home to roost.
00:20:43.420 Where do people go for American – thank you for stopping by the war room.
00:20:46.180 I know you're busy up on Capitol Hill.
00:20:48.180 Give us – where do people go to get all the information?
00:20:50.280 Well, you can actually go to wokegov.appdc.com, and you can find our Doge report on the $174 million that we've identified.
00:21:02.280 So wokegov.appdc.com.
00:21:06.560 Grace, can we put that in Moe and Cameron?
00:21:08.860 Can we get that in everywhere?
00:21:10.520 That's a mouthful.
00:21:12.480 Or just AmericanPrinciusProject.org.
00:21:14.900 With that link to it.
00:21:16.380 And I want everybody to read the Doge.
00:21:17.940 $174 million.
00:21:19.580 That's what we've found.
00:21:20.680 There's a lot more out there.
00:21:22.480 Okay.
00:21:22.820 Terry Schilling, thank you so much.
00:21:24.000 Appreciate you coming in.
00:21:24.940 Thanks, guys.
00:21:25.500 Liz, you dropped a bomb today.
00:21:27.640 I've got McCormick up, too, the author of the book.
00:21:29.780 But walk me through.
00:21:30.520 Just hit reset and give me a two-minute summary of this scandal that's about to overwhelm the progressive Catholic Church, ma'am.
00:21:38.960 Well, Steve, what we actually believed back in 2017, but we're not able to get the Trump administration to look into it.
00:21:50.280 There were all sorts of red flags around the abdication in 2013 of Pope Benedict and the installation of Jorge Bergoglio as the Vicar of Christ.
00:22:04.140 The concern was that, number one, our friend Ted McCarrick, the global sexual predator, was uniquely involved in kind of like the cog in the wheel of the Democratic Party, ensuring that Ratzinger, who was this conservative, who was four square against the globalist agenda,
00:22:29.880 which was about ready to roll out in 2013 with migration in Europe, with the climate change agenda, with the pandemic, he had to be removed.
00:22:42.180 And it's always a one-two punch, isn't it, with coup d'etats?
00:22:46.260 And so they got rid of Benedict and then installed this radical leftist from Argentina.
00:22:53.720 We now know, and thanks to Mike McCormick's book, which has been unveiled, we now know that more and more red flags are coming forward to demonstrate that McCarrick was uniquely involved in toppling Benedict and installing Bergoglio.
00:23:11.020 And it came right out of the Obama White House.
00:23:18.240 People, no, McCarrick was considered the Pope of the United States.
00:23:22.060 He was the most powerful prelate here in this country as the cardinal in charge of D.C., just like you have, I think, is McCrory now, who's an open borders guy.
00:23:34.400 The Pope is up in our face about everything about deportations.
00:23:39.000 And they said this, but McCarrick was here for a long time in Washington, D.C., and became known as the American Pope.
00:23:45.400 Did he not, ma'am?
00:23:46.860 Yes, he did.
00:23:47.560 You know, Steve, he spent, I hate to say, spent more time in the West Wing than Monica Lewinsky.
00:23:53.240 I mean, he was the counselor to every single president since Jimmy Carter.
00:24:01.880 He would weasel his way into the White House.
00:24:05.100 He would set forth the agenda.
00:24:06.760 He became the roving diplomat of Joe Biden, as well as Barack Obama, really presenting all the leftist agenda with the Cuba deal, the China deal, the Iran deal.
00:24:21.840 Ted McCarrick was front and center.
00:24:24.260 And, you know, Steve, because the cardinals and bishops of America protected the sexual predator and his hideous crimes for 40 years, he has single-handedly destroyed the American church because they did not take him out in the 1970s.
00:24:42.420 And the underground church in China has been destroyed because of him.
00:24:46.180 He was the architect of this migration invasion starting in 2014. 0.99
00:24:54.060 That's what happens when you don't do your job protecting children and, you know, raise up this.
00:25:01.060 You know, the Irish have a name for somebody like McCarrick.
00:25:03.640 They call them a Slavine. 0.88
00:25:05.940 He's a sneaky, charming sociopath who weasels his way into the center of power. 0.92
00:25:13.080 That is Ted McCarrick. 0.75
00:25:15.660 And he was certainly the diplomat for all the Democratic politicians and Democratic presidents.
00:25:25.220 Liz, hang on for one second.
00:25:26.580 We'll bring on Mike McCormick, the author.
00:25:28.480 He was the translator, one of the translators for President Biden.

00:31:41.660 Okay, Mike McCormick joins us.
00:31:52.620 Mike, first off, give me your bona fides.
00:31:54.660 What was your position in the Obama, I guess the Obama-Biden White House?
00:31:59.340 What was your position and how did you get access to these types of conversations and goings on?
00:32:05.380 Well, I was a stenographer in the White House with the press office from 2002 to 2018.
00:32:12.460 So one year with Trump, but I also worked with Bush and Cheney and then Obama-Biden.
00:32:18.740 And my job was basically be in the room with vice presidents, presidents,
00:32:23.720 when they're discussing things with the press, record it, make transcripts.
00:32:28.860 I had to fly in Air Force One, Air Force Two, went with Biden around the world.
00:32:32.720 I focused on Biden because he was really hard to do for our office back in my day.
00:32:39.300 He's, of course, you know, dissolved in nothingness at the end of his, before he got into the presidency.
00:32:45.800 But as a vice president, he was very active.
00:32:48.960 Well, what happened was I was listening to Alex Jones, and he was talking about this huge feeling of evil.
00:32:59.040 This was last spring, and I thought to myself, what was the most evil thing I recognized, I remembered from my time in the White House?
00:33:10.320 And it was Joe Biden's close relationship with this guy, Theodore McCarrick.
00:33:15.140 So I went to the White House visitor logs, and I typed in McCarrick, and it was unbelievable what came up.
00:33:22.620 As soon as I saw how many times McCarrick had been there and when, because I had written about, you know,
00:33:30.420 the Obama-Biden sort of the dark side of their presidency there in my other books when I had access to the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:33:42.240 So I knew what I was looking at when I saw these visitor log entries.
00:33:47.380 McCarrick was there, and frankly, as I dug deeper in the story, it became very ominous.
00:33:54.500 I think McCarrick was a CA operative from way back.
00:33:59.660 Why do you say that?
00:34:01.960 McCarrick is probably the most controversial cardinal or priest in the last 30 years in the United States.
00:34:08.940 You know, he was the pope of the United States as the cardinal for the diocese of Washington, D.C.,
00:34:14.960 and then was laicized because of his issues as a sexual predator, and he was laicized for that.
00:34:23.140 Liz and I have a problem with that, obviously.
00:34:25.940 Almost as importantly, he sold out the Chinese people in a horrible deal that put them under the boot of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:34:32.840 I mean, he's a bad guy on so many levels.
00:34:34.720 How did you realize he's a bad guy?
00:34:38.040 In the book, you call this an insurmountable evil, and you make some pretty big allegations in it, sir.
00:34:44.380 Right.
00:34:45.220 So McCarrick came out of New York and New Jersey.
00:34:50.420 He was a seminary student, early 60s, but he came down and went to Catholic University.
00:34:56.340 He got a master's and a Ph.D. at Catholic.
00:34:59.620 And then they sent him down to Puerto Rico, where he spent some time.
00:35:02.740 That's where he picked up Spanish language skills.
00:35:06.420 So he became this global traveler guy with Spanish language skills.
00:35:11.300 If you remember Puerto Rico at the time, the Caribbean was an anti-communist hotbed.
00:35:16.900 There was a lot of CIA activity down there. 0.94
00:35:19.480 And I personally think they groomed McCarrick, maybe knowing that he had a fondness for sex with men, into a CIA operative. 0.92
00:35:29.660 He came up through the ranks.
00:35:31.460 One of the things they taught him to do at Catholic University was raise money.
00:35:35.400 So as he came up through the ranks in the Catholic Church, one of the reasons he moved up, he had a lot of friends in government, but he was good at giving money away.
00:35:44.900 He raised money and he gave it away.
00:35:47.260 And they never really identified who he got the money from.
00:35:50.980 It was always wealthy Catholic donors.
00:35:52.520 My question is, do those wealthy Catholic donors have the initial CIA?
00:35:58.200 Because I think that's who was back then.
00:36:00.480 In the 90s, he moves from being the bishop in New Jersey to being on the State Department.
00:36:11.060 The State Department starts sending him around the world.
00:36:13.600 And they don't send him just anywhere.
00:36:15.340 They send him to China. 0.70
00:36:16.760 He went to China like eight or nine times in his career.
00:36:20.240 He went to Iran several times.
00:36:22.740 He goes to the hot spots.
00:36:25.100 Why is – and the State Department had him sign up as like this sort of freedom of religion sort of representative.
00:36:33.200 And that just doesn't add up to me.
00:36:36.360 So in 2001, after the 9-11 attacks, he becomes the comforting voice of the 9-11 attacks.
00:36:44.780 I listened to him when I was in 2002 when I started at the White House.
00:36:48.620 He was always there.
00:36:50.000 He was always – the Capitol Hill, St. Patrick's Day events, McCarrick was front and center.
00:36:58.700 He was front and center with the Democratic – Democrat, Irish Catholics, Biden, Leahy, Nancy Pelosi knew him really well.
00:37:11.360 And so he had a lot of oomph into the government.
00:37:16.500 But he also was really well-known with the media.
00:37:20.220 Tim Russert, he said the – he said Tim Russert's funeral.
00:37:24.160 Tim Russert had him on a show in the middle of all this sexual predators when the church was revealed that have all these sexual predators in the priesthood. 0.72
00:37:40.500 And, you know, there's McCarrick who's on with Tim Russert explaining how it's terrible these guys are predators. 0.74
00:37:49.620 He is one of the predators.
00:37:51.360 And that's what the Vatican knew it all along.
00:37:53.340 So Vagano got – Archbishop Vagano got on his case and they developed this – they kind of tried to push McCarrick aside and it didn't work.
00:38:07.320 First Pope John Paul II, they kind of knew about his predators then in that papacy.
00:38:17.480 And they, you know, steered it away from – then he died.
00:38:24.620 Yeah, for years people did try to – people tried to push McCarrick aside, but it was too powerful.
00:38:31.100 He was too dialed in.
00:38:31.920 He was powerful.
00:38:33.400 He was tied into the donor network here.
00:38:35.240 Also, he kept saying, I'm tied in directly to the power grid in Washington, D.C.
00:38:40.700 But how does that then lead to the assertion you make in the book that he was instrumental in removing Pope Benedict and making sure Begaglio became Pope, sir?
00:38:53.460 So Biden comes in – Biden and Obama come in in 2008 and comes in with them, Dennis McDonough.
00:39:03.340 Dennis McDonough has two brothers in the priesthood.
00:39:06.160 Dennis McDonough immediately reaches out to the Vatican.
00:39:09.780 This is – you know, Podesta was a Catholic.
00:39:12.280 McDonough was a Catholic.
00:39:14.420 Biden was a Catholic.
00:39:15.780 So they're – and McDonough's boss, Tom Donilon, was a Catholic, a national security advisor.
00:39:23.680 So they're reaching into the Vatican, and they had a plan to replace conservative-minded Benedict with Begaglio.
00:39:32.740 And they started working on that.
00:39:35.120 And after the election in 2012, it comes to a head.
00:39:38.740 So on September 12, 2012, which is the day Benghazi happened, the day after Benghazi happened, Dennis McDonough gives a speech at Catholic University.
00:39:53.560 McCarrick introduces him.
00:39:55.540 A month after that, McCarrick goes down – I think they had a meeting there.
00:40:00.720 I think McDonough and McCarrick had a meeting there.
00:40:03.380 A month after that, McCarrick goes down to Argentina and meets – this is noted in the report on the Ted – Theodore McCarrick report by the Vatican.
00:40:17.620 They noted where his travels were.
00:40:18.940 Yeah, the Vatican does a whole – the Vatican does a whole detailed report on this when they laicize the guy because they understand they've got a problem.
00:40:26.460 And they kind of track his movements, correct?
00:40:28.940 Right.
00:40:29.260 It comes out in 2020, and it's a whitewash.
00:40:31.520 They're trying to cover up for all the stuff they did.
00:40:35.000 So he goes down to Argentina in October of 2020, and then he goes back in December of 2020 – I'm sorry.
00:40:43.780 In Argentina, he goes down there in October of 2012.
00:40:48.540 He goes back in December of 2012.
00:40:51.540 Well, six weeks later is when Benedict announces his resignation.
00:40:55.740 And that's what John Henry Western was talking about today, where the Vatican Bank was knocked out.
00:41:03.880 So this is all part of this program they set up.
00:41:07.900 McCarrick is in Rome when Benedict announces his resignation.
00:41:12.780 He just happens to be there.
00:41:14.980 And that's when they started this –
00:41:16.560 Just random coincidence.
00:41:17.560 Yes, exactly.
00:41:18.560 What do you hope this book leads to?
00:41:21.880 This book clearly is going to be very controversial.
00:41:25.480 You're going to get attacked a lot.
00:41:27.120 But what is the endgame here?
00:41:28.640 What do you hope comes as this book?
00:41:32.540 McCarrick, I think, is still – I think he's still living in a house for laicize priest out in Nebraska somewhere, I think.
00:41:40.980 So he's out of the picture of Bergoglio's, you know, not on his deathbed, but maybe headed there shortly.
00:41:48.600 What do you hope to accomplish with this?
00:41:51.200 I think they've got to have an investigation of how the CIA infiltrated the Catholic Church.
00:41:57.740 And I think that investigation has to come through Congress, maybe Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. 0.67
00:42:05.500 Maybe Vice President Vance would be a good choice to lead an investigation.
00:42:09.060 They have to separate the church from the CIA.
00:42:14.140 The CIA filed the Catholic Church.
00:42:16.780 But hang on.
00:42:17.200 But hang on.
00:42:18.540 Hang on.
00:42:18.900 What evidence are you showing them to even start an investigation of this?
00:42:23.360 What facts are you going to lay out besides the guy who traveled here and did there?
00:42:27.380 What evidence do you have that can initiate somebody like a J.D. Vance?
00:42:31.720 Because he's not going to put the office of the vice president involved here.
00:42:35.320 What evidence do you have that you'll put forward on this?
00:42:37.880 So, 2014, there's the unaccompanied minor crisis.
00:42:44.700 All these kids just start showing up at the border.
00:42:47.460 What happens is McCarrick goes into the White House and meets with Dennis McDonough in June.
00:42:54.520 And then comes into the White House to address this unaccompanied minor crisis, the president of Honduras, a guy named Juan Orlando Hernandez.
00:43:05.880 Orlando Hernandez at the time was smuggling cocaine in the United States by the ton.
00:43:10.600 And the DEA had his brother on tape saying that.
00:43:16.280 They knew it.
00:43:17.340 So, when Orlando Hernandez comes in to meet with Joe Biden and Barack Obama in July of 2014,
00:43:24.540 the DEA knew that he was smuggling drugs in America by the ton.
00:43:28.060 And the person who was in charge of the Southern Command there and down there was John Kelly, John F. Kelly, General Kelly.
00:43:43.620 So, he's a close friend of this guy, Hernandez.
00:43:48.740 So, Kelly is part of the cover-up.
00:43:51.020 McDonough is part of the cover-up.
00:43:52.700 And this thing goes into the White House and they develop this thing, a pet project by Joe Biden called the Alliance of Prosperity,
00:44:03.420 where they send in November of 2014, they send $1.5 billion of American taxpayer money to three small Central American countries,
00:44:15.020 El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala.
00:44:17.400 Honduras, they know the guy is smuggling cocaine in our country by the ton.
00:44:21.900 And they do it anyway.
00:44:23.880 They do it through the Congress.
00:44:25.540 The Congress okays it.
00:44:27.020 Biden is the guy who's rubber stamping it.
00:44:29.780 And that's why they have to investigate it.
00:44:32.020 This is the United States taxpayers paying for, and the church, people in the church, the Catholic church, 0.95
00:44:40.020 paying for people to run drugs in the country and do human trafficking.
00:44:44.360 At the time, Orlando Hernandez, one of his campaign contributors was El Chapo from the Sinaloa cartel.
00:44:54.940 This is the cartels.
00:44:56.480 The Alliance for Prosperity is the seed money for what became the great replacement, the great reset in the southern border.
00:45:05.660 And that's what they set up.
00:45:07.100 And what happened was Trump steps in the middle of it.
00:45:10.380 President Trump comes in in 2016 and puts a stop to it.
00:45:14.320 He puts a wall up.
00:45:15.960 And the cartels and the globalists and the CIA guys and the Obama Democrats panic.
00:45:24.600 And they have to get rid of McCarrick, and they do.
00:45:27.320 And then they start conniving.
00:45:29.560 And how do we get Joe Biden back in?
00:45:31.140 And that's when we got to the 2020 total election.
00:45:34.220 Okay.
00:45:35.620 Okay, so you hope to initiate an investigation off of this book.
00:45:40.200 Am I hearing you correctly?
00:45:41.860 That's correct.
00:45:44.100 Okay.
00:45:44.740 Where do people go?
00:45:45.620 Maybe people should read the book first.
00:45:47.060 Where do they go to get the book if they're so interested?
00:45:50.140 The book is on Amazon.
00:45:51.200 It's an almost insurmountable evil, how Obama's deep state defiled the Catholic Church and executed the Wuhan plandemic. 0.88
00:46:02.620 And I'm on social media.
00:46:06.680 My social media is at Joe Unauthorized.
00:46:09.500 That's on Truth Social and on X.
00:46:13.140 And my sub stack, where I do a lot of the background stuff, is on Midnight and the laptop on Good and Evil.
00:46:20.140 That's my sub stack.
00:46:22.760 Okay, Mike.
00:46:23.540 Thank you very much.
00:46:24.360 We'll go through it and have you back on.
00:46:25.900 Appreciate you.
00:46:27.200 I'll see you at CPAC.
00:46:27.960 Liz, you're.
00:46:29.920 Thank you, sir.
00:46:31.060 Liz, you're.
00:46:32.480 Your social media, the website, all of it.
00:46:35.040 This is a story that is developing day by day.
00:46:39.200 Yes, it is.
00:46:40.100 And we're going to be breaking some more news this week.
00:46:44.300 We'll be back, hopefully, to talk about that.
00:46:47.320 Elizabeth, your is my handle everywhere.
00:46:50.780 And my website is yourchildren.com.
00:46:56.600 Amazing.
00:46:57.340 Thank you, Liz.
00:46:58.860 Explosive story.
00:47:00.220 McCarrick.
00:47:01.340 What a piece of work that guy is.
00:47:04.640 Todd Benzman is joining us by phone.
00:47:06.940 He's down in Texas.
00:47:07.780 Todd, your tweets out, and I just saw some photographs a moment ago, I think.
00:47:14.980 Have you, you've put up, have U.S. special forces actually entered or been asked by the
00:47:20.300 Senate or the government of Mexico to come in and train the Marines regarding the cartels?
00:47:26.420 Is this rumor or can you ascertain that this is a fact, sir?
00:47:30.340 It is being reported pretty widely in the Mexican media.
00:47:36.680 U.S. is sending 220 special forces trainers to Mexico to train the Mexican Navy's infantry,
00:47:49.660 which are the most trusted, vetted forces in Mexico.
00:47:53.900 You know, we all know that there's a big problem with corruption and, you know, regular Mexican army being co-opted by the cartels, etc.
00:48:03.920 So the stories say that they're going to be training those naval forces, their ground forces, Marines, for unconventional warfare.
00:48:17.680 And this is unusual.
00:48:19.740 It's not like we haven't ever had American military down there, but it's usually training for themselves,
00:48:26.220 not training Mexican military to do this sort of thing.
00:48:32.320 And, you know, I think the context that we have to keep in mind here is Donald Trump says he's going to do all-out war
00:48:39.580 against the Mexican cartels and stop the fentanyl.
00:48:43.680 And that's something that is also unique here and unusual.
00:48:48.200 So if you add that in with all the enhanced spy flights, overflights throughout northern Mexico and off the coast of the Pacific,
00:49:01.300 and you look at, you know, maybe the 10th Mountain Division that USA Today and others are reporting are preparing,
00:49:09.840 they're mustering to go down to our side of the border.
00:49:12.740 And all of the pronouncements, the language that Tom Homan is using and Donald Trump is using,
00:49:23.420 that they want to go to war with these, they want to wipe them off the map is what they say. 0.68
00:49:27.840 They use terminology like that.
00:49:31.020 There's also naval forces that are shallow boats called littoral craft that are kind of unique
00:49:40.920 to be deployed to the Gulf of America as well.
00:49:46.020 And those are already going.
00:49:48.200 There was a hearing on Thursday, I believe, before the House,
00:49:55.360 one of the committees where the general said, yeah, we're putting the LSCs in there,
00:50:01.200 part of the whole overarching plan to, I guess, you know, do something with the Mexican cartels.
00:50:09.340 We'll see.
00:50:09.720 But hang on, are you telling me, did you just say that you think the reason they're down there
00:50:15.240 is not to train the Mexican military, but actually for themselves to get acquainted with the terrain
00:50:21.320 and train themselves down in Mexico?
00:50:24.200 No, in the past, American military personnel have gone down there to train, you know,
00:50:29.340 there's swamps and good jungle, and they've gone down there to train.
00:50:34.040 But in this case, they're training the Navy, the Mexican Navy infantry, who are highly trusted, vetted.
00:50:42.320 They're regarded as the most trustworthy and tough force, special forces for Mexico.
00:50:50.420 And they're training them in unconventional warfare.
00:50:54.240 Now, these are the Green Berets that are going down there.
00:50:57.300 According to the media reports that I'm seeing, they're not widespread yet.
00:51:01.480 I haven't seen it anywhere in any of our media, any of our main media.
00:51:05.460 But, you know, that would suggest that, you know, the American military might be providing,
00:51:12.880 planning to provide intelligence and arms and maybe equipment and training for something in the near future.
00:51:20.180 We'll see.
00:51:21.320 But they're supposed to be going down here in the next couple days.
00:51:24.120 Todd, what is your, I know you're running around, what is your social media handle so people can follow you?
00:51:33.060 You're keeping us up to speed on this 24-7, sir.
00:51:38.140 Yeah, at Benzman Todd, at Benzman Todd.
00:51:41.220 That's my ex.
00:51:43.560 And also, I'm on Getter and Truth Social.
00:51:47.180 You can find my stuff there.
00:51:48.440 I've got a piece fresh up in the New York Post arguing the case for handcuffs and leg restraints for these deportees 0.99
00:51:58.180 that everybody's complaining about, weeping and crying and moaning about how inhumane it is to put restraints on American deportees on flights
00:52:10.660 when actually there's a pretty good reason for it in the New York Post just went up about an hour ago.
00:52:18.600 Yeah.
00:52:19.540 Okay, we'll get that and push that to everybody.
00:52:21.480 Todd, thank you so much.
00:52:22.440 We've got to bounce.
00:52:23.460 Appreciate you.
00:52:24.980 Thank you.
