00:00:47.280You don't want to miss a second of the show.
00:00:49.000Let me tell you about Constitution Wealth first.
00:00:51.380Investing your money is a great thing, but you want to invest in companies that you believe in, companies that are doing the right thing.
00:00:58.900They weren't involved with ESG, etc., etc.
00:01:02.900As an investor, you can influence a company's policy, like DEI, CRT, and ESG, by exercising shareholder proxy voting and reducing your investments in companies that don't align with your values.
00:01:17.180Constitution Wealth is the company that will help make that happen by working with you to set those investments up in the right places with the right companies.
00:01:26.200So are you ready to learn more about how your investments can better match your principles?
00:05:41.180But I want to bring this up because Stu did a whole Blaze original documentary on the dangerous conditions that are currently par for the course in our control towers.
00:05:50.100Yeah, it was called Countdown to the Next Aviation Disaster, which turned out to be 70 days from when we released it.
00:05:57.460You know, we talked about a lot of this.
00:06:00.320There's still a lot of investigation to do.
00:06:02.220But, you know, you're talking about these air traffic controllers are overworked and understaffed.
00:06:09.620And, you know, of course, there was lots of concerns about things like DEI.
00:06:13.840No idea at this point whether that has anything to do with it.
00:06:17.040But one thing we did know and did see over and over again in the documentary is how many times we've had close calls over the past couple of years.
00:06:24.920It's the pace has picked up like crazy.
00:06:27.260And the fact that we had gone all of these years without one of these types of incidents was a miracle.
00:12:19.180Somebody who is a lieutenant colonel, I believe, served honorably, I believe still serves,
00:12:29.620ran for president of the United States as a Democrat, a sitting member of Congress,
00:12:36.120a woman who swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, labeled as a potential terrorist by the institutions that are supposed to defend American democracy.
00:17:04.200I know because I've talked to senators and I've talked to congressmen who have told me in the dead of night with no cell phones around and outdoors,
00:17:12.620they are afraid of the intelligence agencies because they're being watched and monitored and they feel under threat.
00:17:22.220Now the Senate today is going to try to make this all about politics.
00:17:25.920They'll ask all of the stupid questions like yesterday,
00:22:02.240Well, you know, we're some would argue that we're seeing some of it already.
00:22:08.820I'm going to stop because this is this is a 20 minute interview and you really need to hear it.
00:22:15.560You know, Stu and I talked right after I did the the interview yesterday and the things he said are shocking because he came on and said I was wrong.
00:22:24.680You know, I've been tracking Jeff and I've been talking about this for a long time and he said this thing.
00:23:40.520But there's one item that when you go to, let's say, pick up medication and they say it's out and I don't know when we're going to get any more.
00:33:07.860And once AGI is here, ASI, artificial superintelligence, will follow probably immediately after.
00:33:15.460Because unlike human intelligence, which evolves slowly, ASI will be able to improve itself at speeds we cannot even imagine.
00:33:24.600It will go from human-level intelligence to thousands and millions, maybe even billions of times smarter than us in days, hours, maybe minutes.
00:46:34.660Listen, last hour I made a case for Tulsi Gabbard that you should hear, but are politics going to be played on this one with the Republicans?
00:46:42.400Because in committee, it's a secret vote.
00:47:34.200First, what if I told you that with just a little bit of your time, you could not only be paying significant less for your phone service, but also dealing with a phone company that shares your values.
00:47:48.740You'll pay a lot less every month and you'll be contributing to a company that is worth your hard earned money.
00:47:53.960They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company, and they offer nationwide dependable coverage with access to all three major networks.
00:48:01.460You're going to get the same coverage without sending the money to the leftist causes and keeping more money every month.
00:48:44.420So, I read your story yesterday in the Federalist, and I thought it was – I think it tells everything people need to know about what Tulsi Gabbard is facing.
00:48:56.980Can you relay it in your main points here for the audience?
00:49:03.220So, the New York Times came up with the story that Tulsi Gabbard came under scrutiny from the deep state intelligence apparatus for her overseas travels.
00:49:12.360And that includes intelligence that she apparently met with this leader of Hezbollah.
00:49:17.020And that's based on two anonymous terrorist sources.
00:49:20.020And so, this is really just kind of the same playbook that the deep state has always used.
00:49:24.440Whenever there is a disruptor threatening to change its status quo, the deep state can and will make up and do anything it really wants to topple that political opponent.
00:49:34.420It's the same thing that they do with Donald Trump.
00:49:36.480And now it's the same thing that they're doing to Tulsi Gabbard as she threatens to take over the deep state herself as the director of national intelligence.
00:49:42.720I think she has the most dangerous job.
00:49:48.220But when you get into the deep state and intelligence, you've got spooks everywhere.
00:49:55.900And, you know, I wouldn't be sleeping well at night knowing that I was going in to take down black ops, take down things that nobody wants to have the light of day come on, even people in your own party.
00:50:16.080Yeah, I mean, I think out of any of Trump's nominees, I think the one who probably has the most trouble sleeping at night is probably Tulsi Gabbard.
00:50:23.420I can't speak for her, but it's not too hard to imagine considering what she's up against.
00:50:27.340I mean, she is running as the disruptor of the status quo that's been in Washington for decades at this point.
00:50:33.400And so you saw how hard the deep state went after Donald Trump for eight years.
00:50:38.600You know, it didn't stop once the Russiagate hoax fell apart in 2018 after the Mueller report.
00:50:44.120And so you saw hoax after hoax after hoax culminating in 91 state and federal charges trying to bankrupt and imprison the deep state's top political opponent.
00:50:54.120And so I think whenever these cabinet nominees, whenever these politicians raise their head and threaten to disrupt that regime in Washington, you know, the nail that sticks up gets knocked down.
00:51:06.600And that's exactly what's happening against the deep state.
00:51:10.920I mean, the Church Commission happened in the 70s, and it exposed all kinds of things that America didn't understand.
00:51:20.220What her job is, as I understand it, you know, the DNI was created after 9-11.
00:51:26.120So it is responsible for all of the agencies talking to each other.
00:51:30.580So she has access to all of the agencies, and Trump has said to her, I want you to go in and find all the bodies that have been buried.
00:51:37.800I want to find out exactly what's going on, what's corrupt, what's not, and we're going to shut it down.
00:51:45.120This is, if people think, you know, well, what about the CIA?
00:51:49.540She's going to be the one leading, how many is it, how many agencies are there?
00:51:55.960Like 118, no, 18, good, it's not 118, 18 intelligence agencies and bureaus.
00:54:31.460Well, I would certainly hope it's going to be public and transparent, though.
00:54:34.320I think Americans deserve that, especially after an election where President Trump was given such a mandate.
00:54:40.320I think his nominees should enjoy that same mandate unless something abjectly disqualifying that were it should keep them from a cabinet position.
00:54:51.520Democrats have obviously picked their battles.
00:54:53.580Some of the other nominees made it through.
00:54:56.020Sean Duffy at Transportation looks like Doug Burgum's going to be confirmed.
00:55:00.160And some of these other nominees have gone through with very little drama.
00:55:03.020They've obviously honed in on, unsurprisingly, the two nominees who were former Democrats prior to this last election, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
00:55:12.680So it seems one of their biggest offenses to Democrats has been leading the party in the first place.
00:55:18.860So it's a little surprise that Democrats would hone in on these two in particular.
00:55:28.340Well, Robert F. Kennedy, as Big Pharma and Big Food's chief antagonist, is it's no surprise he went into another hostile hearing yesterday.
00:55:42.020But I do think there was some surprise as to how hostile Democrats were in that hearing yesterday.
00:55:47.600I mean, it was that the hostility was near unanimous among every Democrat on that panel.
00:55:51.940And I think there was some at least some hope from the Trump transition team and Kennedy's team that they might pull a single Democrat or two.
00:56:00.020But I think those hopes probably faded right from the get go when when the first thing that Ron Wyden did once they opened up the question period was enter into the congressional record.
00:56:09.460A letter sent from Kennedy's cousin, Caroline Kennedy, the former ambassador to Australia, with filled with personal hysterical attacks that Robert F. Kennedy has predators as pets and he's putting chickens in the blender to feed to the rape.
00:56:24.560I mean, the fact that the Democrat ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee would enter a letter full of personal attacks from a family member said all he needed to know about the rest, how the rest of those three and a half hours went for Democrats and Kennedy.
00:56:42.400Did he? Is he going to make it, do you think?
00:56:44.140I think Kennedy's up in the air. I think Republicans largely showed that they're not they're not too willing to resist Trump's wish for this pick for health and human services.
00:56:55.880I think if Republicans are going to reject Trump's pick on any of these nominees, it's probably going to be Tulsi Gabbard after they opposed some of them opposed Pete Hegseth, the forces Collins, McAlsey and McConnell.
00:57:06.520But I'm not sure. Kennedy's a sure thing. And I don't think Kennedy thinks he's a sure and confirmation vote either.
00:57:15.080So I think a lot hinges on this next hearing here in a couple of moments with the Senate Health Committee.
00:57:43.780But Kash Patel is he's been a conservative media personality for the past four years.
00:57:48.580He's blown the whistle on some of the lies of the January 6th committee, claiming that he was formerly the chief of staff of the Department of Defense at the end of Trump's first term.
00:58:03.940Like capital is Democrats, both within the Department of Defense and running Washington, D.C.
00:58:08.900and running the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi staff that refused the president's request at every opportunity they had.
00:58:17.220And so Kash Patel, Democrats and probably some Republicans would prefer someone more in the mullet of Christopher Wray, who is perfectly willing to weaponize the agency to to prosecute political dissidents.
00:58:31.280And I think it's it's that Kash Patel also has to do what Tulsi has to do today, and that is convince reluctant senators that his top priority is returning the FBI to its intended purpose, which is to keep Americans safe while protecting civil liberties.
00:58:56.400The Federalist National Correspondent, Tristan Justice.
00:59:00.080Kash Patel is delivering his opening statements right now.
00:59:04.160Can we just listen to just a little bit of Kash?
00:59:06.300Security is at threat, both internally and externally.
00:59:11.140The FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice, where I served, play a pivotal role in securing our freedoms and our safeties for American citizens.
00:59:21.500If confirmed as the next FBI director, I will remain focused on the FBI's core mission, that is to investigate fully wherever there is a constitutional factual basis to do so and to never make a prosecutorial decision that is solely the providence of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General.
00:59:42.280For the first eight years after law school, I served as a public defender, first for Miami-Dade County and later for the Southern District of Florida.
00:59:52.220During that time, I represented some pretty awful human beings charged with some pretty heinous crimes.
00:59:59.000But what I learned there was the core value that has been enshrined in me since.
01:00:03.740That due process must be provided without bias to all Americans.
01:00:09.180And if we cannot provide due process to the worst, then there can be no due process for anyone.
01:00:18.100But I battled on that hill for that due process.
01:00:21.480I would later serve in the Obama Justice Department as a terrorism prosecutor in the National Security Division, where we successfully contributed the prosecutions of terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, and others.
01:00:33.960I was honored to receive the 2017 Assistant Attorney General's Award from Loretta Lynch for my work in helping the Ugandans bring members of Al-Shabaab to justice for murdering 74 innocent people, including an American.
01:00:49.520It's amazing how these guys, I mean, you know, Loretta Lynch gave him an award, how they are just going to turn him into a right-wing monster in just a few.

01:02:28.500Hey, can one of our producers find out what happened with Missouri and the AG?
01:02:34.380What is happening with the lawsuit against China?
01:02:38.500And if you can, give me that information before I talk to Chip Roy.
01:02:41.680Chip Roy is going to be on with me in about eight minutes.
01:02:45.720And he has just introduced legislation that will bar people who are members of the Chinese Communist Party or entities that are under its influence from buying any land in the U.S.
01:04:09.660And I don't know – like, I feel like we get to that point where we're trying to battle the decision as to whether it's just stupidity, whether it's ignorance, whether it is, I don't know, distaste for truth.
01:06:52.160But it's not like there's not going to be bad government getting into office again in the future.
01:06:56.600I hopefully – it is – I'm hopeful that it is 12 years away, but it might be four years away.
01:07:03.860You have to prepare for your financial future.
01:07:06.260One of the best ways I know is to consider investing in a portion of your portfolio – not all of it, but like 10% – into precious metals like gold.
01:07:14.960You have to be prepared for what could happen.
01:07:18.280It's time to act before the markets start to act up.
01:28:18.560Develops this technology that literally changes everything.
01:28:23.080Except the big tech company, Goliath comes in with even a bigger giant, the United States government.
01:28:31.740The tech is stolen by this big tech company.
01:28:35.640It's then transferred to China and the government endorses it, covers it up.
01:28:43.080If this is allowed to stand, this is a story that has been in the works since the early 2000s.
01:28:50.200You've never heard this story, and my guess is, I'm going to ask, but my guess is because we didn't have a government, DOJ, or anybody that you could trust until possibly now.
01:29:03.20060 seconds, I'll tell you the full story.
01:29:06.760First, the easiest and cheapest way to set up home security is this.
01:29:11.280You place loaded mousetraps around your house every day.
01:29:13.500I saw this, you know, on a Christmas movie once with this little kid that was home by himself.
01:29:41.420Most importantly, they can verify that an intruder is there, and they can call police.
01:29:46.240Because just an alarm going off for police, they don't usually respond anymore in some of our bigger cities because they just go off all the time.
01:29:54.820You need the verification, and SimpliSafe can do that within five seconds.
01:30:31.660We are at the beginning of seeing corruption exposed like never before, I think, in America.
01:30:38.260This story, first of all, what did you invent that changed the world?
01:30:42.140So we have a team I pulled together of inventors, and we invented the connectivity technology that connects your smartphone to the cell phone tower, connects the Wi-Fi in your home to other devices.
01:30:55.640Because it's so small and so efficient that it's what's enabled the tiny little Bluetooth headset that goes in your ear.
01:31:05.080Before Parker Vision, all these wireless connectivity products had big hundreds of components, a lot of size, low power – I mean, high power consumption, low battery life.
01:31:51.240So we approached them, and this is around 1999, 2000.
01:31:55.520They were, at the time, a much smaller company, but growing fast.
01:31:59.360They were an emerging tech giant, and they had the idea of connecting the internet to your cell phone through their standard, which I thought was pretty brilliant.
01:32:28.600So we said, oh, here is the connectivity technology that gives their cell phones the ability to compete and yet still have all the features that they were trying to bring to market.
01:32:40.940And when they saw our chip and tested it in a lab, they were crazy about it.
01:32:47.460They were like, how are you doing this?
01:34:09.940And after the first hour of what was a couple day meeting, they stopped the meeting.
01:34:15.220And the guy who was the business development manager takes me out into a hallway and he says to me, wow, you're not going to believe what we thought you had put into that chip.
01:34:25.140And I said, what do you think we put into that chip?
01:34:26.900We thought you had built a micro machine.
01:34:29.920A micro machine, Glenn's like little tiny components that move in semiconductors.
01:35:09.060So, we've had this licensing negotiation and every time we got to kind of an agreement point, they would change the deal.
01:35:17.180And this happened again and again, almost over a year.
01:35:21.160And at some point I said, you know, I've done business with other companies.
01:35:24.600I've had relationships with large companies.
01:35:26.340We brought some of the first semiconductors to heating air conditioning controls and had a partnership with Carrier Corporation and it was great.
01:37:41.380And what happened in discovery was a real eye-opener.
01:37:47.800The law firm – actually, here in Dallas, Texas, a firm called McCool Smith, known for handling a lot of patent litigations for patent holders.
01:37:56.540And about a year into the case, getting ready for trial, they call me up and they say,
01:38:00.400Jeff, you know, when we have a client come in, tell us a story, and they leave, we talk about it as a group.
01:38:06.780And we say, gee, if half that story is true, it's probably a pretty amazing case.
01:38:09.900We just got the emails from discovery.
01:38:15.780We have never seen anything like this.
01:38:18.200What does that mean, your entire – that what you said was happening was –
01:38:22.400Glenn, I was worried, you know, when we broke off the negotiation, went our separate ways, I had the suspicion, and my suspicion was founded.
01:38:32.380So, we take it to their lab, they test it, they send around emails to each other.
01:38:37.700Oh, my gosh, we can make a better phone with their chips today than what we're currently shipping.
01:38:48.260We must get our hands on this technology.
01:38:53.720This is an email sent by the president of the company around to everybody.
01:38:57.860And then we start to see the engineers are a little upset, right, because they've got these engineers being paid a lot of money to run a big R&D lab, and here's this little startup company.
01:39:10.400And they're like, well, do we really want to give them free money?
01:42:19.860I can't imagine what your life has been like for the last 10 years sitting on this story, waiting for an opportunity for justice to be done.
01:42:28.700So the judge comes out and says, Qualcomm's going to have to make amends here and pay.
01:42:35.700We're going to come out in a couple of weeks.
01:42:37.640With the judgment on that, the jury was in lockstep.
01:43:40.600For years and years, we've used a product called Lead Lander, which is a service you subscribe to, and they look at all your visitors, and we use it for marketing.
01:50:17.820And he's been telling a story that is absolutely amazing.
01:50:23.580I mean, it's game-changing technology that this little firm invented.
01:50:29.020And Qualcomm, according to him and according to a jury, stole that technology, used that technology, gave that technology over in China, and never paid him.
01:50:41.980Judge then, after the jury verdict came back, he said, okay, you guys got to work out a deal.
01:50:47.420Well, and then a few weeks later, after Obama met with Qualcomm and you got the DOJ involved, suddenly the judge flips.
01:51:00.620Here's a little snippet of a video that was released this morning at 730 Central Time, just right before the market opened, explaining what's going on.
01:51:13.180It's called Against Underscore Giants.
01:51:17.420We're explaining to him we're going to have a new chip that's going to have this amazing level of performance, this radio signal that we're putting into this tiny little circuit board with a chip on this board that's like half the size of your little finger down.
01:51:29.940The radio signal, when it goes from, let's say, a cell phone tower to your phone, doesn't show up in great condition.
01:51:36.000There's all kinds of noise that has been accumulated along the way.
01:51:39.560So we've got this noisy signal going in, and out the other side of this chip is coming beautiful data bits.
01:51:47.700We see this technology as being the enabling technology for wireless communication.
01:51:52.800What we didn't see was that it would be stolen.
01:51:55.440Never in my wildest imagination did I ever see that coming.
01:51:58.780There was a company that I didn't know anything about called Qualcomm.
01:52:02.400If you look at history, almost all innovations come from small companies, and when big tech gets a hold of it, they're just out of the picture.
01:52:54.460The judge enters his final order, reverses the jury verdict, and throws the case out.
01:52:58.640What happened between those two points?
01:53:00.420What happened between those two points is the Obama administration, it appears.
01:53:08.220And now let me bring Eric Holder into this, because the DOJ keeps going to your website, is checking on all of this right after the fundraiser with Qualcomm and Barack Obama.
01:53:17.680And he comes from a firm in Washington that actually represents Qualcomm, correct?
01:53:48.540And then when Eric Holder retires from the government, he goes back to Covington and Burling, where he is to this day.
01:53:54.740So we have visits when Eric Holder is attorney general.
01:54:01.960They start and they continue on for years and years.
01:54:06.420Candidly, up until the time I filed a Freedom of Information Act request to ask, number one, who from the White House was visiting our website?
01:55:12.020And candidly, when I've watched other people within our own government try to get their FOIAs fulfilled, people who are sitting members of Congress, and they can't get them filled, I'm saying, well, how am I going to get mine done?
01:55:22.760Well, the reason why you haven't heard this story at home is because he's been doing all of this with a very hostile government, and things are changing.
01:57:52.980And how do you protect those ideas if you hand them over?
01:57:56.400This is, you know, I've been talking about this for a few days now, and it's been a theme of mine for probably 30 years about what's coming with AGI and ASI, which is absolutely game-changing.
01:58:07.300People do not have any idea that by 2030, you won't recognize anything.
01:58:13.280You may not even understand the solutions that are being developed every single day for your life.
01:58:19.260And it is so important that we own that, that we're in charge of it.
01:58:29.260I don't even trust us with it, quite honestly.
01:58:32.020But if you don't have the right people in charge of it, if God forbid it goes to China, we're toast.
01:58:38.840Well, listen, you have a good right to be worried.
01:58:41.280If our large tech companies, big tech, are willing to take these kinds of intellectual property overseas and put them in China, India, Taiwan, where we have no control, you can only imagine what could happen.
01:58:58.380And if they get ahead of us in this race, we're in big trouble.
01:59:01.640Yeah, people are comparing it to the space race.
01:59:03.500That's not even – that's baby stuff compared to what this is.
01:59:08.240I mean, it was a big accomplishment, but that changed the world in many ways.
01:59:13.740This is the Manhattan Project on massive steroids.
01:59:19.940Glenn, the other area of our economy that a lot of people don't really understand, many of the biggest innovations ever – in fact, I'd say most – don't come from giant tech companies.
01:59:32.060They come from individual innovators and small companies.
01:59:35.520And our government is failing those companies.
01:59:39.300That is a story that needs to get out there because if – look, China has a very robust startup economy right now.
01:59:59.280The patent office itself has become hostile to patent holders through a whole special patent court that was set up during the Obama administration.
02:00:09.380And then last but not least, we let big tech companies crush these little emerging – monopoly – these monopolies crush these emerging companies.
02:00:44.460Said these big corporations could not come in and crush you and just take it.
02:00:50.360It was your property, your intellectual property.
02:00:53.020That's why we raced ahead of everyone because the individual who had an idea could make a better mousetrap and actually see the gain from it.
02:01:04.940It wasn't taken by the state or by a lord or a lady or whoever.
02:02:02.500He warned about a vast education complex as well.
02:02:07.880He diagnosed exactly what we're in right now.
02:02:11.240But he said, there will come a time if we allow the government to get out of control where all inventors, all ideas, will come from government or educational laboratories.
02:02:23.620And the small guy who just has an idea in his garage will not be able to compete or keep his ideas.
02:06:07.900But also could just be someone who's absolutely competent.
02:06:10.160But if you aren't hiring white people who are also competent, you wind up with a problem of being understaffed.
02:06:17.160I talked to a guy who got a perfect score, a perfect score on the test to become an air traffic controller.
02:06:23.840But they added a second test, which was a biographical test, which was questions about his race and questions about his history in certain school subjects and things like this.
02:06:33.580And you'd think, okay, well, school subjects might have some relevance.
