00:05:13.660I was actually stunned, even though there's nothing this government will do today that actually shocks me.
00:05:21.840So I would use that probably wasn't shocked, but a little bit stunned that there's not a grown-up anywhere within the FBI, the DOJ there in Washington, even the judge.
00:05:34.980I mean, something somewhere here has gone really wrong.
00:05:42.200And, Lou, this is – look, there is a real issue here, right?
00:05:45.360I – granted, the Congress has completely fallen apart, one of the reasons why it left, to run True Social.
00:06:20.240And Navarro took a step to take to court and challenge the legitimacy of the committee.
00:06:27.940So – and he wasn't – this is not like this was – Peter Navarro was not on the run.
00:06:32.380This was not a guy who was trying to escape to, you know, some South American, you know, confab somewhere down in Brazil or something, right?
00:06:42.200So this – and he lived in Washington, D.C.
00:07:18.520You put him in the – and the leg shackle thing is really ridiculous.
00:07:23.200So, look, we can talk more about January 6th, but what happened to Peter Navarro is stunning but not surprising.
00:07:30.280And what is surprising to me, and it should not be, I concede, there is no outcry.
00:07:39.400The – Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, their reaction has been nonexistent.
00:07:46.240This is a moment in history that I think that we will see written about for decades, and that is what happened in the midst of a social breakdown in the United States because that's what we're witnessing.
00:08:01.920We are watching a party and an ideology that has overtaken that party, and I'm talking about Marxism and the Marxists who are driving the party leadership right now, and a slumbering Republican Party led by absolute nitwits as far as I'm concerned.
00:08:25.260These people would not be tolerated in any organization that had a profit objectives and clear performance metrics.
00:08:35.640They are – and I'm referring about – referring to Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell.
00:09:17.940Having been – served in Washington for two decades, being in the leadership positions is never easy.
00:09:26.440But I've said from day one when I was still there when this January 6th commission was stood up, I said, guys, look, this is – we need to see this for what it is.
00:09:39.040This is designed to just perpetuate the Hollywood theatrics that the left, the Marxists, as you say, because I totally agree with you.
00:09:48.660They are a Marxist party, and they're really good at narrative building.
00:09:54.160And they have to narrative build in order to keep people in the dark, right?
00:09:58.140And they use that by the control that they have over the media that you and your listeners are well aware of.
00:10:04.400I like to say it's 95% of the media that they control.
00:10:07.080And then they run it through a funnel, which is this social media funnel, knowing that they have total control over these tech tyrants to put out and use algorithms to force feed to people what they want force fed to them.
00:10:20.160And, you know, this is not a plug for true social, but it is why I left Congress, right, is the number one reason why I left was because I could see that we had no ability to reach the masses because of the Marxist types of strategy and tactics that the left uses.
00:10:39.220You know, they have full control over every aspect of communications in this country.
00:10:44.600And that's why true social is something so big and new is because it's the first time, you know, in a long time that the Internet is back open again and people can communicate freely and they're not going to be censored for their political views.
00:10:58.060And I only say this, Lou, not to promote true social, but really just to kind of put an exclamation point on that that's part of the problem with being in Congress.
00:11:10.980You are at the whim of how the media puts pressure on you, how your constituents put pressure on you.
00:11:19.400And because of the Marxists, the Democrat Party of this country are well aware of that.
00:11:25.160So they have these, they have the leaders and every member of Congress under a, nobody wants to take the beating, right?
00:11:34.620So, I mean, look, as somebody who went through that, you know, when I stood up and said, look, this Russian stuff is, Russian hoax is a hoax.
00:11:43.880You know, I got the, you know, just completely, you know, I mean, hell, even to today, it continues that, you know, I must be working for Vladimir Putin.
00:17:10.560They're buying up all the resources they can from continents like Africa.
00:17:15.340They're making deals with the Russians.
00:17:17.500They're building nuclear power plants.
00:17:20.180So that's, in, in, in the long run, the, the two things that just to, you know, kind of give you some,
00:17:25.780give you and your listeners some positive signs of light here is that the propaganda machine is falling apart, right?
00:17:33.900Because you, you, you can't narrative build and build propaganda if people are just pissed off paying $7 for gas.
00:17:40.760And, and also you can't, you know, they are worshiping and promoting their Marxism and trying to gain power by doing stuff that essentially plays into the Chinese hands
00:17:50.760and will not work under any, under any, of, of anybody's imagination.
00:17:56.740And you see that in places like California, you see it in New York city.
00:18:01.760And that's ultimately the good thing here is, is that the red states are getting redder.
00:18:10.660And so, you know, that's kind of, I think where we're, where we're headed here, Lou.
00:18:13.920So when we're paying six to $8 a gallon across the country for gasoline, when we don't have enough gasoline in point of fact to be energy independent,
00:18:26.600because drilling has been shut down, pipelines have been shut down by this administration, almost the first thing they did.
00:18:33.460And we have an administration which you have to, you just really have to grip your chair as you're watching Joe Biden try to put together a coherent sentence.
00:18:58.540And so that defies the narrative, whatever this narrative is that they're pushing.
00:19:04.280And in many, in many ways, Lou, it was also that, you know, propping Biden up, having him run a campaign from the basement like he did.
00:19:11.340And, you know, it really is reminiscent of kind of the final days, the final couple decades of the, of the old Soviet Union,
00:19:19.360when they would prop up these guys who, you know, who were totally incoherent.
00:19:23.880And that's another one of their problems.
00:19:25.660Not only can they, you know, they can't get around, like we said, you know, the, the people's pocketbooks, right?
00:19:31.040Like that, at the end of the day, that really, you know, hits home with, with everyone, right?
00:19:37.300But also they can't, no matter how many people they could put, instead of the 80 digital people propagandists that they have in the White House, they could put 800 people.
00:19:46.640But if you can't throw your president, Biden, out there, as you said, he's, he's totally incoherent.
00:19:53.440Nobody looks at him and says that, you know, he doesn't inspire hope and he doesn't inspire confidence.
00:19:58.740And I'm not, that's not even an anti-Biden.
00:20:01.060That's not even a Republican Democrat position coming out of my mouth.
00:20:26.180They have the problem with Harris, who has never been vetted.
00:20:31.160You know, essentially was a, was an apparatchik out here in California where she was just promoted through her connections and, you know, and kind of her ideology is how she rose up through, through the ranks, right?
00:20:44.520You were picked based on, not off of your skill set and your competence.
00:20:49.740You know, she essentially ran off of, off of, you know, her gender, praying to the climate gods and the social, the social tendency gods.
00:21:00.040And she just rose right up through the ranks and, and, you know, became, became, you know, the first woman vice president in this country.
00:21:09.320It's kind of the same problem with, that they have with Biden.
00:21:12.180They can't put her anywhere either because she sounds like an idiot and she talks to people like they're stupid.
00:21:19.180And so this is the, you know, this is, you know, this is really the difference between, between what the Chinese are doing and, and what the leftists in this country are doing.
00:21:28.820I mean, the, the Chinese leftists love these leftists.
00:21:31.280I mean, they're basically useful idiots for the, for the Chinese.
00:21:34.820Well, I would only quibble with one thing.
00:21:36.780You said she talks to people as if they're idiots.
00:21:39.440She talks to people as if she's an idiot.
00:21:59.060She cannot put together a complex sentence.
00:22:02.300Uh, she, I, I, I mean, I fear for her when she puts together a conjunctive sentence.
00:22:07.740Uh, it is absolutely terrifying to the American people.
00:22:12.680I'm sure if you pressed hard on the, on these polls, they have to think as, as Vladimir Putin is threatening, uh, nuclear war, uh, certainly in Europe.
00:22:23.800And with, as he says, now decision-making centers around the world, if the long range missiles that Biden has sent into Ukraine strike Russian territory, I, it is impossible for anyone to rationally say this country is prepared for a war with these two people at the head of it with a military that is absolutely incompetent.
00:22:48.960The leadership is utterly bereft of talent and intelligence, uh, and, uh, and certainly leadership, which is really, uh, what they should at least have.
00:23:01.240And the intelligence agencies, the intelligence agencies, Devin have proved what they are.
00:23:07.960They're frauds from one end to the other.
00:23:11.360And how can we rely on anything they produce?
00:23:17.060So a lot of this now we're, we're starting to piece together that a lot of this started and we, we had the signs of it in the last Obama Biden administration from 12 to 16, right?
00:23:26.160You had little hints of it between kind of Benghazi, uh, you had the, uh, the debacle, uh, in Iraq.
00:23:32.880Remember when, you know, the current secretary of defense, okay, the current secretary of defense essentially falsified intelligence back in God, what was it?
00:23:43.120The 2014, you know, 14 timeframe, it was one of the first, you know, atrocities that, that, that we uncovered on the house intelligence committee, uh, that I was one of the ones who led that investigation was that, you know, we knew when, remember when Obama said, Oh, you know, we're going to, you know, we're going to get out of Iraq.
00:24:00.860There's not going to be a problem there. And then remember the whole damn middle East almost caught back on fire again, because these fools like didn't take the proper steps to secure the region.
00:24:09.580You know, after we had spent over a decade, all the blood and treasure, you know, there was, you know, there's some simple things you had to do in order to, to, to get out of Iraq.
00:24:18.320And they completely screwed it up. And he, and it was the secretary of defense who at the time was a CENTCOM commander who either falsified or went along with cooked and baked intelligence. Right.
00:24:31.320And then you fast forward, who's this, he is secretary of defense. Once again, what we saw in Afghanistan, these things have consequences. You do this once, you do it twice. And then guess what? You give a guy like Putin, he says, ah, what the hell?
00:24:47.260You know, I think Putin's crazy as a guy who's dealt with, with, you know, following Putin for, for a very long time, what he's doing there, what he's, you know, I would have never thought he'd be so crazy to invade Ukraine, but I will say at least not out in the open.
00:25:03.960Remember he did it under, he did it with little green men kind of threw it intelligence op back during Obama, Biden era, but to actually like do a full scale invasion shocked me.
00:25:13.440But I guarantee you this, you know, had you not baked and cooked intelligence back in Iraq and looked weak back in that timeframe, had you not looked weak, you know, during, you know, during the Benghazi raid, had you not looked, you know, one of the, you know, if we had a real media in this country, one of the biggest fiascos of, and most embarrassing moments for the United States military was what happened when that withdrawal in Afghanistan.
00:25:39.500I mean, it was entirely predictable and it was intentional and it was intentional.
00:25:51.200Well, they wanted out knowing that if they did it the way they were going to do it, the whole damn thing was going to fall apart.
00:25:56.740And what I'm saying is, and I'm actually, you know, not, you know, I went out of the Middle East, I went out of Afghanistan, but there's a right and a wrong way to do it.
00:26:06.640And they chose basically the politically expedient, fastest way to do it, which ends up with the disaster that we have.
00:26:14.540But then ultimately, after you follow all that, you end up with somebody like Putin getting, you know, you know, clearly where his mind is, something's going on with him, where he thinks he can now invade Ukraine.
00:26:28.920I mean, it's like one builds on top of the other.
00:26:32.780And it's all because of incompetence and weakness that this administration has.
00:26:39.340And look, it's not, you know, we're going to do everything we can to open up communications at True Social and get people, you know, where they can communicate with each other and not be censored politically.
00:26:50.180But at this rate, Lou, you know, I think what we have to really think of is, you know, can we, you know, can we sustain this as a country or will other dictators and other bad actors, you know, like the Chinese, are they going to start to do things that will, that could really do damage to this country more so than, you know, we may think things are bad now, but look, things, things can get worse.
00:27:17.400How could any, any totalitarian state with expansionary, territorial, both claims and ambitions, and the militaries to support and to achieve those objectives, how could they resist the knowledge that the military of the United States is led by abject failures?
00:27:43.320They, at least the top two levels, if not three levels of the United States military, doesn't belong in the jobs that they have.
00:27:53.480The intelligence agencies are absolutely bereft of reliable intelligence and the capacity to develop it, whether it be human intelligence or whether it be electronic signal intelligence.
00:28:08.060That's, those are statements of fact, simple, straightforward, and the political leadership of the country has never, never been as weak as it is today.
00:28:20.520And the, and we are watching a social breakdown at the same time as our government is revealing the level of its incompetence and corruption, which is pervasive throughout the executive branch.
00:28:37.280It is a crisis in which it is a crisis in this country that people don't want to recognize.
00:28:42.920And if President Xi, if President Putin, and then I agree with you, there is something terribly wrong with his mind, but there's also something terribly wrong with the minds of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party, for that matter, the Republican Party.
00:29:00.320And we are at a juncture, and we are at a juncture, a critical moment in history, and we are, we have never, let me rephrase that, we haven't been this vulnerable since 1941.
00:29:18.540And we have a corporatist media and a Marxist-led government and Democratic through the Democratic Party.
00:29:27.080Yeah, I think I don't, I don't disagree at all with, with the troubling trajectory.
00:29:34.300And just on the military, I think the, a couple thoughts on it.
00:29:39.980It appears like when you go back in time and look, there was definitely an effort to reward political leadership within the military that went left, right?
00:29:52.840Or that, that, that embraced the Obama-Biden agenda.
00:29:57.080And they were, you know, we, you know, you always believe that, you know, the military and our intelligence agencies, you know, they're supposed to be above reproach, right?
00:30:08.300They're, they've, they've been around a long time.
00:30:10.820It's part of the reasons why, you know, they like to say that, you know, the military, you know, it moves really slow, right?
00:30:16.280It's tough to turn an aircraft carrier around.
00:30:18.120Some of that, you know, some of that, you know, was done on purpose, right?
00:30:20.960So that they're, so that everything has a strategy.
00:30:24.560It can sustain political, from political leader to political leader.
00:30:28.500Because, you know, part of the whole having a strong military is having that, that stability with the, you know, kind of the long-term fundamental built-in, built-in process and procedures in place that, that keep politics for the most part out of it, right?
00:30:48.620You're always going to have politics in something.
00:30:51.060But somehow, Lou, I don't know how they were able to do it, but they let it permeate all the way down the ranks.
00:30:58.060And what you now see is, is you see a lot of good people in the military.
00:31:03.720They get frustrated, and they, and they're leaving because they're seeing people promoted.
00:31:11.740And they're leaving because they're seeing people being promoted because of their wokeness, right?
00:31:17.840And that was happening, you know, started in Obama, and I think they purged the ranks of a lot of really good people.
00:31:24.980Now, you know, with all that said, you know, we still do have, you know, one of the best fighting forces in the world, I mean, the best fighting force in the world.
00:31:35.340It's just that, you know, from the Secretary of Defense, which we already talked about, you know, my problems with him, I was shocked when they picked.
00:31:44.780It was probably fitting that they picked him, right?
00:31:46.440This is a guy who had done the left's bidding back during the Obama timeframe, either was unwitting or witting of cooked intelligence that led to just get out of Iraq to where now, you know, you've got kind of just a complete collapse of, you know, our U.S. military and intelligence agencies.
00:32:07.740And, you know, it goes to, you know, we haven't even talked about it, and we won't have time on this show, but, you know, what happened during that timeframe, then they made it okay to start to allow the Clintons to work with the FBI and the DOJ to frame the Trump campaign led to, you know, I'm discussing the Russia hoax here.
00:32:31.500And it leads to the Mueller hoax, which, you know, that led to impeachment, that then leads to ultimately a second impeachment, that then leads to, you know, a complete breakdown of all of these institutions.
00:32:44.860And now we've got, you know, the latest installment of this.
00:32:47.980It's just the continuing saga, which I think are all related, which is kind of this get Trump at all costs because, you know, he was an effective president.
00:33:00.640He beat, you know, he was the only guy that beat down their, and broke through their propaganda and their establishment, you know, kind of the establishment Marxist policies that they were putting in place.
00:33:15.280I mean, you see what they're doing this January 6th commission is nothing more, nothing less than that.
00:33:21.260And it's just, you know, I like to say this has been a dark period of U.S. history that started in 15, 16 with the framing of Trump and the Republican Party.
00:33:40.920And I think what you saw on Friday with Peter Navarro being arrested like he was, was just a continuation of this dark chapter that I hope comes to an end.
00:33:51.620But I'm afraid, you know, until people can communicate and get the facts, it's going to be, you know, we have to have a somewhat educated population that at least knows some of the truth.
00:34:58.980The bottom line, we've kind of already touched on most of it.
00:35:02.600A lot of what we talked about is why I left Congress.
00:35:08.580I really felt like that, you know, when Donald Trump got kicked off of social media, I had already stopped using a lot of social media because I knew I was being shadow banned and censored.
00:35:18.660I was one of the first guys to go to Rumble, which is a YouTube alternative.
00:35:24.020I was one of the first guys to go to Parler, at least members of Congress.
00:35:28.860And when President Trump got kicked off of all these platforms, and you may remember this, Lou, because I had done several interviews on your show before.
00:35:40.000I wrote a book about this in the middle of 2020 that said, that talked about the media and talked about social media and essentially said how we were, you know, people didn't understand, you know, that, you know, people couldn't understand.
00:35:55.920Well, how could it be that 60% of Americans thought that Donald Trump and Republicans were working for Vladimir Putin when, in fact, it was the opposite, right?
00:36:05.700It was the Clinton and the DNC, they were the ones that were working with Putin and getting information from Russians.
00:36:12.180I mean, you can't make this up, but yet you still have this 60% of Americans out there thinking that.
00:36:18.800While Putin, in point of fact, in 2016, was working for Hillary.
00:36:26.880I mean, look, like we talked about earlier, Putin and Xi Jinping, they're a lot of things.
00:36:32.620They're bad people, but they're not stupid.
00:36:34.540And you know damn well the last person that Vladimir Putin ever wanted to be president was somebody unpredictable like Donald Trump.
00:36:43.500I mean, they, and I agree with you, Lou, it's kind of a sidebar here we're having, but it's like the one obvious thing that's in front of everybody that people should know.
00:36:51.380There is no way in hell that the intelligence agencies would ever want somebody like Donald Trump or the Russian intelligence and Chinese intelligence would ever want someone like Donald Trump being president of the United States.
00:37:06.800There's no way they would ever want that.
00:37:08.640And it's so funny that that just gets lost on people like, oh, yeah, we've just accepted that, yeah, Trump and Republicans must have something to do with Russia.
00:37:17.760I mean, no normal person with the facts would ever think that, as witnessed by what happened from 2008 to 2016 and what's happening now in just the last year and a half.
00:37:32.260These Marxists in China and Russia, they'll move quick because they know these guys are weak.
00:37:37.040But anyway, it's a good sidebar and a good point, Lou.
00:37:40.760But anyway, look, when President Trump got kicked off of everything, he called me up and said, look, you understand these issues and you'd be the right guy to run this company.
00:43:00.520It's impossible to overstate Devin's role in defending President Trump against the combined corrupt power of the Marxist Dems and the deep state
00:43:09.540as they tried to destroy President Trump and his presidency.
00:43:13.480Now he's the CEO of the Truth Social platform and the Trump Media and Technology Group.
00:43:19.480And in case I haven't made myself clear, I think very highly of Devin Nunes and all that he has done to stop the overthrow of the Trump presidency
