00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Great America Show. It's Stephen Gardner filling in for
00:00:08.640 John Fawcett while he is at his sister's wedding. He and I got together this morning and I
00:00:15.840 let him know about a special guest that I have, a colonel, to talk about what's going
00:00:20.200 on in the Iran war and where we are headed. Also, why the CIA had to secretly fly John
00:00:28.300 Ratcliffe into Russia, what that's all about. But I'm going to go through today several arrests
00:00:34.640 and accountability and why the Democrat government in Oregon tried to hide over 100 arrests. It's
00:00:43.160 going to blow your mind. But as soon as I say it, you'll go, oh, Stephen, we got it. That's why.
00:00:49.400 All right. On the other side of this commercial break, I have my special guest, Colonel Tony
00:00:53.600 Schaefer to go through what's going on with the CIA, what's going on with Trump, what's going on
00:00:58.660 with the Iran war. All right, everybody wants to know what is the next step with the Iran situation?
00:01:10.960 We went from the war hawks preparing to push them into the Stone Age to now saying, wait a minute, 0.77
00:01:16.960 we think we can go about this a different way. To help me go through this, I have retired Colonel 0.63
00:01:21.380 Tony Schaefer. Colonel Schaefer, thank you so much for joining me again. Stephen, it's always great
00:01:25.780 to join you. I appreciate the time. So, yeah. Let me ask you this. Do you think that this
00:01:30.680 war is winding down or are we in a pause phase? The reason I ask is Secretary of State Marco Rubio
00:01:39.180 said there will be no more kinetic attacks planned as of right now. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
00:01:46.380 said, we are going to overwhelm them with sanctions and aggressively go after any partner
00:01:51.540 that aids them, but there will be no more military strikes. Is this signal or noise on the battlefield?
00:01:58.520 What do you make of this? So the framework to understand this, that's actually taught at the
00:02:04.360 war colleges, I actually spent time at the Army War College on this, is called DIME, D-I-M-E,
00:02:10.540 stands for Diplomatic, Informational, Military, and Economic. Those are the strategic tools of
00:02:17.140 national power that every world leader, whether they call it dime or not, uses in some form.
00:02:24.200 So what's going on is basically a coordinated and synchronized use of those four elements
00:02:32.020 by this president. So even during the conflict, if you remember, Stephen, they were still doing
00:02:38.640 diplomatic stuff. We were doing economic stuff. I mean, the whole thing with Venezuela was
00:02:43.340 a smaller model of what we're doing. We were seizing their tankers, doing things to upset 0.90
00:02:49.220 them economically. But what I'll say about this conflict is that President Trump and Scott Bessent
00:02:55.340 have gone farther than anybody else I know since the Reagan years to actually go after the economic,
00:03:02.060 the E and the DIM equation. So, so many folks, so many presidents, world leaders kind of talk
00:03:10.040 about doing, oh yeah, we're going to seize this. We're going to do that. We're going to do a
00:03:15.000 sanction. This isn't about sanctioning. This is about going literally into the, into the vascular
00:03:20.840 system of global commerce of money, of how it's moved and cutting it off. So this is why, and I
00:03:28.120 would argue this is why uh director of ci radcliffe showed up in moscow i everybody's saying oh it's
00:03:34.360 about ukraine and nato is like no it's not it's about it's about iran and basically saying you
00:03:40.800 help us with iran we'll help you get out of the mess in ukraine you've made for yourself uh that's
00:03:45.900 what that was about and so this is and it's about us you know xi's coming here china's coming here
00:03:51.300 for a visit i think trump's going to present him some information he doesn't like regarding what
00:03:56.360 we know about what they're doing. And Scott even said, I'm not giving away anything classified.
00:03:59.900 Scott said, we have mapped, Scott Bacenta said, we have mapped everything down to the individual
00:04:05.800 transactions of how things are done. And so, and we have a massive organization called the FinCEN,
00:04:11.600 which is a hybrid of FBI, CIA, Department of War, State Department, and Department of Treasury,
00:04:17.780 which actually devotes a large amount of time to tracking global commerce, especially illicit
00:04:23.800 commerce. So that's what's going on. Now, will we use military force? Well, we kind of are,
00:04:30.580 just not being noisy about it. Every night we're sneaking ships out. We basically have been able
00:04:37.440 to blind the IRGC so they can't see, especially at night. What you can't see, you can't shoot at.
00:04:42.600 And we've been moving tankers out. It's not back to the level of pre-war regarding the number
00:04:46.820 coming through, but oil is starting to flow back out. So it's all about trying to demonstrate to
00:04:52.160 the Iranians without having to use more military force. You're going to die as a society if you 1.00
00:04:59.700 don't play ball, because we're going to deprive you of any ability to stop us from what we're
00:05:03.840 doing and stop your economy from functioning. OK, let me go deeper on the head of the CIA.
00:05:11.300 Sure. So I see all of a sudden John Ratcliffe appears in Moscow for these meetings. Then I
00:05:19.700 start tracking it back, the airplane he's on was at Andrew Air Force Base. It goes dark and then
00:05:26.500 suddenly reappeared in Latvia and then suddenly appears in Moscow. So he's not there about the
00:05:33.580 threats of Moscow against London. You think he's there saying, work with us. Let's get both of
00:05:39.620 these wars wrapped up. Do not help Iran in any way. Yeah. So this is where the Europeans completely 1.00
00:05:46.140 missed the boat i mean they just had their little notably steve last week in kev they had their
00:05:51.420 the uh conspiracy of the willing no that's the wrong word uh uh coalition of the willing that's
00:05:57.200 what it is the coalition of the willing meeting and we weren't there we weren't we weren't a simple
00:06:04.360 statement of fact we weren't there and the british were there the french were there oh la la you know
00:06:09.700 uh we weren't there and we weren't there because we want we did not want to be there it wasn't like
00:06:15.160 we were invited, but there was all the issues regarding Zelensky, about who's going to fund
00:06:19.520 the war, about where he's going to get patriots from. These things we didn't want to be involved
00:06:24.160 in. So you combine that then with this idea that the British especially keep saying, oh,
00:06:30.140 there's a threat from Russia. Stephen, the Russians just took a huge loss on the battlefield,
00:06:37.220 something like 47,000 casualties in a week. That's not sustainable, even with an order of
00:06:44.080 magnitude larger force than Ukraine. So, and Europeans keep saying, oh, they're going to go
00:06:49.640 after other elements of NATO. It's like, there's no evidence of that. They don't have the military
00:06:54.660 capacity to do that. You can't have the Russians losing on the battlefield and bragging about it
00:07:00.300 at the same time they're threatening you. No, it's not possible. This is a complete
00:07:05.000 contradiction. So there's no evidence, zero. And we're pretty good at this. There's no evidence
00:07:11.260 that the military forces of Russia have any large capability to mount on any level an all-out
00:07:20.500 invasion war or intrusion, incursion, like a special military operation, it's what they call
00:07:25.340 Ukraine. There's no evidence they can do that. They're now taxed to the hilt just doing what
00:07:30.580 they have to do within the provinces there in Ukraine. So it's this wanting your cake and
00:07:37.960 eating a tube by the Europeans is insane. So no, I don't think Radcliffe was there
00:07:41.640 to worry about the Russians invading Europe. I think it's all about trying to say, basically, 0.70
00:07:46.080 you guys are in over your head. We can, you know, there's some things we can do to help each other
00:07:51.600 to end the Iranian issue and end Ukraine. That's what I think it was about. 0.96
00:07:56.120 Okay. I'm hoping and praying. Wouldn't that be amazing? A two for one, as they say.
00:08:02.360 Help me understand this. So seven to 10 days ago, all the American war hawks, the think tanks, they're championing Trump's idea of the largest, the biggest attack of the entire war.
00:08:18.140 Trump is getting really agitated. And then all of a sudden, boom, it's like we switch to the blockade is working.
00:08:25.160 Now let's do economic warfare like we've never done before. And the war hawks say we love this idea.
00:08:31.300 What do you think that the shift in in tone was in D.C.? 0.94
00:08:35.660 Well, I just I keep telling people, read his freaking book, read Heart of the Deal.
00:08:40.620 I've been through this with so many people. 0.69
00:08:42.920 It's like, look, he's going to go to a maximum position and then he may switch negotiating tactics because it fits what he wants to accomplish.
00:08:50.540 I said this in several lectures I've done and I go in and basically I start the lecture with just a satellite picture of the Middle East.
00:08:59.240 And this is for your audience. You've got a great audience. Let me explain, because they'll get it.
00:09:04.920 So I go into my lectures, because I have people who are very senior people, by the way,
00:09:09.740 like admirals and generals, saying, we don't understand what's going on. Can you come talk to us?
00:09:13.560 Okay. So I show up, and I start with my briefing with a picture of the Middle East. I said, what
00:09:19.080 do you see? What is that? What's the Middle East? No, no, no, no. What is that? What do you mean,
00:09:25.680 what is that? That's land. That's a big chunk of land. Trump is a developer. He's redeveloping the
00:09:32.920 land. That's what he's doing. So look at what he's trying to accomplish, not through the lens
00:09:38.200 of conventional thinking, but how he goes about conducting business. And so I would fundamentally
00:09:44.120 argue that he's not changed dramatically from the time he was developing real estate in Manhattan.
00:09:49.500 He learned a lot of lessons. He's now doing it on a global level. So if, yeah, we've used military
00:09:54.060 force. We've kind of made our point. We're going to threaten it again to get you guys thinking a
00:09:58.180 certain way. And then we're going to go do something else. So you're completely off guard.
00:10:01.600 That benefits him in the negotiation. So I think right now that the neocons had no,
00:10:07.040 they had no other option but to go this way. Because one of the things that's been noted by
00:10:10.980 me and others who have talked about this publicly, this has been one of the most, and I know this
00:10:15.600 sounds outrageous, but it's true. This has been one of the most economic use of military force
00:10:20.280 in the history of our nation. We have done a lot with a little. We've used a fraction of our
00:10:27.340 military forces. We have not had to put boots on the ground, although we threatened a lot.
00:10:32.260 And it would be amazing if we have a win, if, I'm not saying we will, but if we have a definitive
00:10:38.820 win before November, not having to use boots on the ground, I think that's pretty significant.
00:10:43.640 All of that makes a lot of sense. As you mentioned, President Trump, Scott Besson,
00:10:49.080 We've never seen anything like this, this Operation Economic Outcast.
00:10:55.000 But at the same time, the head of the War Department and Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, is saying America by no means is foreclosing military action. 0.61
00:11:04.780 If Iran overplays their hand or attacks the U.S. military, Washington will do what it needs to do. 0.99
00:11:11.240 Is this them saying we're in a defensive posture right now, but if you play stupid, you're going to find out what happens? 0.99
00:11:17.640 I think it's the two things are ongoing. First, his statement is completely accurate. We have not stood down. That is to say that the forces I'm aware of that I was made aware of are still forward based. 0.98
00:11:32.700 I don't want to say where they're at for obvious reasons, but we've got them forward based in places we don't normally have them and they're still there.
00:11:39.020 And then secondly, we just relieved the Ford with the Lincoln.
00:11:45.380 I'm sorry, Lincoln with the Washington.
00:11:46.640 The Washington just relieved it.
00:11:48.320 And so we still have massive amounts of naval aviation and naval force available.
00:11:54.200 So, by the way, when it happens, that's not just a carrier.
00:11:57.540 It's a carrier battle group.
00:11:59.080 They go around with a massive task force.
00:12:01.280 So that task force is still there. And there's no indication we're going to slow down. And as I mentioned, we've had this clandestine movement of ships, which, you know, I didn't brag about it. Others have. And I'm just talking about, yeah, they've acknowledged it. Yeah, we're moving ships out.
00:12:19.860 So that had to be done clandestinely. That had to be done effectively using both Air Force and Navy overwatch. So it's happening. And I think, again, that's meant to demonstrate to the Iranians, dude, you may you may pretend that you control the strait, but you don't.
00:12:34.840 And now you may pretend you have money, but you don't. 0.87
00:12:38.040 So it's all about reinforcing a theme, which this goes back to dying, diplomatic, informational,
00:12:44.880 military and economic.
00:12:46.300 This all has to be coordinated.
00:12:48.160 I've been critical and I remain critical of the I of informational, I think, of some
00:12:52.140 things we could have been doing better.
00:12:53.940 Just saying I've had discussions with folks on that.
00:12:56.640 With that said, I'm still impressed with the fact that this White House and this president
00:13:01.600 been able to coordinate effectively all those elements to to to focus on a specific set of
00:13:07.420 outcomes he's seeking. Yeah, I what as someone who served our country for decades, what do you make
00:13:15.420 of it seems like the mainstream media, because they didn't want Trump to start this war and they
00:13:21.280 don't like Trump. It just seems like almost everything they write is that the U.S. military
00:13:27.300 is ineffective, that our men and women are constantly in danger, that this is a complete
00:13:34.200 and total failure, that Iran is winning? Why are they constantly writing negative about our men
00:13:40.500 and women? There's a difference between informing and aspiring. I think we could agree on that. I
00:13:46.440 think your audience knows the difference. I will present information out, and you can agree with
00:13:50.820 me or not, but it's what I understand it to be. And so I'm not advocating, I'm informing.
00:13:57.300 These are the things I interpret.
00:13:59.400 The mainstream media, Stephen, advocates for an outcome.
00:14:03.840 Now, am I advocating for an outcome?
00:14:06.320 Yeah, we want to win. 0.85
00:14:08.220 We want to be Americans and do the right thing for our country and help free the Iranian
00:14:12.380 people.
00:14:13.560 The mainstream media advocates in such a way to go against American interests.
00:14:18.660 It is what it is.
00:14:19.460 I mean, they are just going to say they're anti-American.
00:14:23.020 And they and they do this anti-American stuff because they hate Trump so much.
00:14:27.900 They don't want Trump to get a victory. It's like, oh, no. Oh, my God.
00:14:31.780 We cannot allow, you know, you know, the orange man, orange man, bad.
00:14:37.540 Orange man, bad is what rules their editorial decision making, period.
00:14:43.020 It is what it is. Yeah. OK, final question. I appreciate you coming on.
00:14:48.020 I know your day is very busy. Why are they being so critical of Pete Hegseth? Is it just because
00:14:54.560 he's the head of the Pentagon or is he easier to take out than President Trump as far as blasting
00:15:00.820 him in the media and pushing for impeachment? So, you know, full disclosure, Pete and I are
00:15:05.640 friends and just take my comments with that in mind. I and I've been critical of some of the
00:15:12.980 things the Pentagon is doing. It's not like I give him a free pass. I'm just I'm polite about it. But
00:15:16.860 you know, I've said these are things I disagree with. So they disagree with Pete for two reasons.
00:15:23.720 First, he has actually done things to reform the Pentagon in a very short amount of time,
00:15:28.780 which has returned warrior ethos and lethality to the enterprise. It is what it is. He's done that.
00:15:35.160 And he's done it in such a way to very publicly to remove DEI and all the other Lloyd Austin
00:15:40.820 nonsense. And I know both men. I know both men. So this is not me, Tony Schaefer, speculating.
00:15:45.860 I've been in combat with Lloyd Austin. I've had I've had to deal with Pete Hexteth regarding his policies in a good way.
00:15:52.880 I'm a county commissioner and we have economic issues. You know, we publicly met at the kickoff.
00:15:58.620 Pete and I met at the kickoff of the Arsenal of Freedom tour up in Newport News.
00:16:02.820 So, you know, I'm just I'm talking about, you know, knowing both men professionally.
00:16:07.500 So he's been effective and that's what they don't like.
00:16:10.100 Secondly, because he's effective, he's actually said and done things which indicate he's not for the military solution first.
00:16:17.860 I'm going to say this, and you may think I'm crazy.
00:16:20.240 Both the Democrats and Republicans want the military enterprise to be fully engaged and expanding all the time because the left profits as much as the right from spending, from Pentagon spending.
00:16:35.480 Just saying.
00:16:36.420 So I think a lot of folks, to include the fact that a lot of neocons, Stephen, are in the Democrat Party.
00:16:42.420 We mentioned Hillary Clinton and several others.
00:16:46.520 They wanted this to become a hot war.
00:16:48.920 And it's not.
00:16:49.600 It's not going to become what they wanted it to be.
00:16:52.340 So I think that's the second thing.
00:16:54.040 It's like he's not playing their game.
00:16:55.880 And if you're not playing their game, you got to go.
00:16:59.120 OK, well, that makes sense.
00:17:01.100 I mean, just yesterday, Hillary Clinton said Trump should back Ukraine more, but he won't because he's still under the control of the Kremlin, which is just absolute nonsense that she would say.
00:17:12.000 Talk about being bitter about losing still.
00:17:14.940 Colonel Schaefer, thank you very much for your time.
00:17:17.100 I'm going to put links to how people can find you online so that that's super easy.
00:17:22.000 We'll have you on again in the future.
00:17:23.220 Thank you so much.
00:17:24.260 Thank you, Stephen.
00:17:24.860 Always good to be here.
00:17:25.680 Thank you.
00:17:31.100 Over 100 people were just arrested and charged with drug trafficking, and they had enough fentanyl to kill 50 million Americans.
00:17:40.880 But that's not the craziest part. I'll tell you why the Democrat government up in Oregon tried to hide a key piece of data from Trump and the American people.
00:17:52.240 Glenn Beck lays out all that President Trump accomplished this week,
00:17:56.580 and it's a bunch of stuff even I missed after reading the news for hours a day on your behalf.
00:18:02.800 A George Soros district attorney says,
00:18:06.360 once Trump is out, we must erase every part of him, starting with blowing up the ballroom.
00:18:13.040 Lastly, China was caught hacking the Department of Justice,
00:18:16.560 the Department of Energy, as well as NASA and the U.S. Senate. 0.96
00:18:20.220 Let's stop pretending that they couldn't hack an election 0.99
00:18:22.860 or create a divisive race war here in America.
00:18:27.120 Thank you guys so much for liking and sharing these videos.
00:18:30.360 These are big stories that the mainstream media isn't covering,
00:18:33.500 but I'm going to cover them for you tonight.
00:18:35.740 Federal prosecutors revealed a disturbing result
00:18:39.280 from a Portland fentanyl crackdown.
00:18:42.260 More than 100 people were arrested and federally charged.
00:18:46.000 And guess what?
00:18:46.760 Over 80% of those were illegal immigrants from Honduras and Mexico.
00:18:52.660 Authorities seized over 100 kilograms of fentanyl,
00:18:57.300 enough, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, to kill 50 million Americans.
00:19:03.780 That's every single child in America.
00:19:06.980 Plus, they had a bunch of guns and over $1.3 million in cash.
00:19:11.300 It's fair to ask, why is this information being withheld from the American people?
00:19:17.180 The Justice Department just released it publicly, but the implications are uncomfortable.
00:19:22.660 In this particular drug trafficking investigation, immigration enforcement and drug enforcement were inseparable. 0.55
00:19:31.060 This is not an argument that all documented illegal immigrants are criminals, but these ones were.
00:19:37.040 and the government in Oregon tried to hide it from the Trump administration and the American
00:19:42.100 public. This isn't an argument about people accused of trafficking legal or lethal drugs.
00:19:48.940 This is about the arrest of 100 people and 80% of them were illegal immigrants with enough fentanyl 0.64
00:19:56.340 to kill 50 million people. Now, this is the core argument made by President Trump. Border officials
00:20:05.000 such as Tom Homan and supporters of ICE enforcement and people like you and me that voted for this
00:20:11.140 exact thing. Get these people arrested and out of our country. ICE is not supposed to target people
00:20:18.080 merely based on ethnicity, skin color, or nationality. They knew exactly who they were
00:20:24.260 going after, and they pulled this operation off flawlessly. These are serious career criminals
00:20:31.500 that could have killed a bunch of people.
00:20:34.180 Now, critics can debate oversight, ICE tactics,
00:20:38.460 due process protection,
00:20:40.300 but calls to abolish ICE or undermine agents
00:20:43.500 should confront the reality shown in Portland.
00:20:46.940 Federal law enforcement just saved a bunch of lives,
00:20:51.000 most likely children's lives.
00:20:52.840 And what was the reward for that?
00:20:55.480 They tried to hide it from you and me.
00:20:57.940 How Democrats can fight for these people
00:21:00.100 that kill Americans is just a mystery to me.
00:21:03.380 Why the government would try to hide this 0.99
00:21:05.320 from ICE, Tom Homan, and President Trump is crazy. 0.92
00:21:09.280 Everybody, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Republican, 0.59
00:21:13.780 we should all be rejoicing that these people were arrested
00:21:17.060 and these drugs are off the street.
00:21:19.880 But let me know in the comments what you think about this.
00:21:22.940 80% of the people with 50, 0.90
00:21:26.000 enough to kill 50 million people were illegal immigrants 1.00
00:21:29.400 and they tried to hide this from you and me. 0.95
00:21:32.720 Now, President Trump, he had an incredible week,
00:21:35.320 so much so that I missed a bunch of it.
00:21:37.740 And I read the news for hours and hours every day.
00:21:41.060 But Glenn Beck, he did an incredible job recapping this,
00:21:44.400 and you have to listen.
00:21:45.880 It's easy to forget where we were just two years ago.
00:21:50.200 So before we get to the president,
00:21:51.560 let me just recap what has happened this week.
00:21:55.220 Monday, Supreme Court cleared the way
00:21:57.220 for the president's mail-in ballot order
00:21:58.880 to take effect before the midterm six to three homeland security can build a federal citizenship
00:22:04.040 list and send it to the states while the attorney general can prioritize the prosecutions of
00:22:09.120 officials who give ballots uh to uh ineligible voters also the state department the state
00:22:15.920 department is moving to revoke the tourist and business visas of up to 200 000 people who came
00:22:20.740 as visitors and then filed for asylum the largest action in american history if 14 days this month
00:22:27.560 In 14 days, ICE arrested almost 1,500 people in Virginia and Maryland alone, including 400 with convictions and pending charges for crimes from sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, attempted murder, rape, MS-13 members.
00:22:42.220 One of the most successful operations ever.
00:22:45.340 Also, this week, we find out State Department is moving to revoke the tourist and business visas of up to 200,000 people who came as visitors.
00:22:57.220 Let's see.
00:22:58.640 Meanwhile, we find out ICE arrests surged nearly 50,000 in July, highest monthly total.
00:23:03.660 Homeland Security also proposed $103,000 fee on capped H-1B visa petitions.
00:23:08.900 And then the economic news.
00:23:10.740 This one's huge.
00:23:11.860 Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing survey showed American factories having the strongest current conditions in more than five years.
00:23:18.040 But more striking, the manufacturers, their expectations for the future surged to the highest level since the beginning of the Reagan boom in 1983 with the biggest one jump ever recorded.
00:23:31.060 In other words, American manufacturing isn't surviving.
00:23:34.080 It may be on the verge of a major.
00:23:35.640 We're going to build things in America again.
00:23:37.320 And nobody thought that was possible with the exception of our guest.
00:23:42.080 That's all in one week, one.
00:23:44.860 And the man responsible is President Donald J. Trump.
00:23:48.040 All right. Isn't that amazing? President Trump and his team are getting so much done, but it's almost gets no positive coverage in the mainstream media.
00:23:57.420 Here's another thing not being covered. Philadelphia's Democrat district attorney, Larry Kasner, whose campaign boasted about receiving one point seven million dollars from George Soros, says that after President Trump leaves, every part of him must be erased.
00:24:17.080 Jeffries said everyone connected to him must be investigated and held accountable and now
00:24:25.000 Larry Cosner this district attorney he's actually saying we need to physically blow up the new
00:24:31.900 ballroom in fact he said it twice and then he wants to give it away to everybody as a paperweight
00:24:38.060 or be sold in order to get people's money back but the problem is the American people aren't
00:24:43.320 paying for this. But listen to what this guy said. And I'm going to have a paperweight sitting on my
00:24:48.240 desk. You know what that paperweight is going to be? It's going to be a piece of the ballroom
00:24:52.500 after we all blow it up. That's what it's going to be. In an official, official ceremony, just so
00:25:02.460 we're clear. In an official ceremony, we're going to blow it up and we're going to get the taxpayers
00:25:07.800 their money back by selling all the pieces as paperweights and I will have one on my desk.
00:25:12.960 All right. Now that's bananas to me. I mean, literally anybody or anything Trump does,
00:25:18.680 they want it erased. They want people arrested. They want accountability for what? Making America
00:25:24.620 great again for building a building on top of one that was so old. It literally like people
00:25:31.560 had been complaining about it for over 10 years. And this idea of give the American people back
00:25:39.080 their money? This is being paid for by the Trump family and private donors as a gift to America.
00:25:46.520 Now, Americans can debate whether the project is wise or attractive, whether Trump went about it
00:25:52.900 the right way. But guess what? The Supreme Court just waved their flag and said, yes, you have the
00:25:58.700 right to move forward. So this is all about symbolism, extreme symbolism. We must erase
00:26:05.620 everything. I mean, like this is what they did in Egypt. They literally went through and bashed 1.00
00:26:10.860 the faces of all of the pharaohs, maybe even the Sphinx, because they wanted to erase them.
00:26:17.360 Now, Cosner, he's not a cable news commentator. He's not a YouTuber. He's an elected official
00:26:24.280 talking about blowing up a building in order to erase a president. This guy should be focused on
00:26:30.980 illegal immigrants that are bringing fentanyl in to kill your children. But no, he's talking 1.00
00:26:36.080 instead about erasing Trump. I mean, the opposition to Trump is legitimate. I get it. He's got a rough
00:26:42.580 personality, but automatically calling for investigations of everybody in his inner circle
00:26:48.380 is crazy to me. Erasing everything that he did, getting rid of all of his executive orders.
00:26:54.020 This is exactly what they want to do. Even Hillary Clinton previously argued that the country must
00:26:59.820 confront and reject Trumpism. And Hakeem Jeffries said, anybody that was connected to Trump must be
00:27:07.660 investigated. This is crazy. How can our country move forward if we waste so much time and so much
00:27:14.020 money? Now, the Justice Department says it has disrupted a China-linked hacking operation that
00:27:21.380 penetrated some of America's most sensitive institutions, the Department of Justice, the
00:27:27.040 Department of Energy, the Federal Reserve, NASA, Health and Human Services, the National Institute
00:27:34.860 of Health, and even people in the Senate. This looks bad, very bad. This was hacking at the
00:27:42.660 highest level of government. And not just that, they found out this operation was built to scan,
00:27:48.640 steal, infect, and then conceal itself. Federal authorities seized domains associated with two
00:27:54.960 platforms, QSCAN and QT Router. According to unsealed court documents, they were operated by
00:28:02.160 a state-sponsored group called QTFY, which the Justice Department says was employed by a China-based
00:28:09.720 technology company. Why is nobody vetting this stuff? The tools allegedly enabled these Chinese
00:28:16.540 hackers to scan vulnerable internet-connected devices, infect systems, communicate with
00:28:22.600 compromise devices and then hide everything. But they figured it out. And then they were able to
00:28:28.220 trace it back to China's Ministry of State Security and the People's Liberation Army.
00:28:33.820 This is literally a hack from the Chinese military. Now, the government says the domain seizure
00:28:39.860 rendered both platforms inoperable. This is a good thing. But we have to figure out
00:28:45.100 how did this happen and what else happened? I mean, the stakes couldn't be higher. In just the
00:28:50.680 last month, U.S. intelligence finally admitted that they failed to brief President Trump on China
00:28:57.300 involving themselves in stealing information on voter rolls from 18 states. These reports
00:29:04.040 allege that Beijing had explored ways to exploit the voter rolls, rig the election, and install
00:29:10.320 Joseph Robinette Biden. Instead, they said, no, no, no, let's just use cyber warfare to destroy
00:29:17.860 their democracy by creating race wars so that whites and Asians and blacks and everyone in 0.97
00:29:23.480 between will hate each other. Well, guess what? It must have worked because that's exactly what's 0.85
00:29:28.640 happening. All right, that's my update for today. Man, a lot going on, right? Let me know your
00:29:34.800 thoughts in the comments about these illegal immigrants with enough fentanyl to kill every 1.00
00:29:39.480 child in America, 50 million Americans, and why the government covered that up. This hack by China, 0.89
00:29:46.640 It's unbelievable. 0.99
00:29:48.240 All right.
00:29:48.600 I love you guys.
00:29:49.280 Stay amazing.
