Trump's second day in the Middle East raising money in Saudi Arabia. President Trump signs a bill with Saudi Arabia worth $600 billion, and signs an executive order that could save the country $100 billion in Medicare and Medicaid costs.
00:02:40.240If anyone's able to do it, it's President Trump with that massive China deal he was able to get through.
00:02:46.820Markets absolutely loving it still reacting.
00:02:48.980Before he left for the White House, we brought you the other day about the the health care initiative that President Trump had signed in his executive order.
00:02:59.980It was a 30 day deadline for price reductions for pharmaceutical companies to lower their drug prices to align with the international rates.
00:03:07.300Failure to comply will result in regulatory action.
00:03:12.360The order criticizes pharmaceutical benefit managers and companies like CVS and Cigna for inflating their costs and leading to market reaction where Cigna shares dropped nearly 6 percent and CVS over 3 percent on the news of this bill.
00:03:26.020And he wants to combat anti-competitive practices.
00:03:29.000The FTC is urging to answer to address anti-competitive behaviors in pharmaceutical sectors because it doesn't really make much sense, folks.
00:03:37.920You can go across the border up into even Canada, and I hate to say this, or go to Europe.
00:03:42.840You can go into any drugstore and you can get ibuprofen.
00:03:47.040You can get in some countries you can even buy anabolic steroids over the counter.
00:03:52.340I've seen in places over in Europe and you're able to get this stuff over the counter.
00:03:56.840Whereas here in America, you've got to go to a doctor.
00:03:58.740You've got to pay a copay to go see a doctor.
00:04:00.600Then you've got to get the prescription called in and then you've got to go pay the prescription.
00:04:03.700If you've got bad insurance, the prescription is going to cost you a little bit more, whereas other countries, you literally just walk in and you say, I have a cold and I know what fixes my cold.
00:04:16.420So it'll be nice to see America start to wean towards that and save Americans some money.
00:04:23.560But it doesn't come without opposition, of course.
00:04:26.420House Senate Majority Leader John Thune saying the other day that Trump's intentions are clear, codifying the executive order into law may be fairly controversial in Congress.
00:04:39.680Now, this is something that both Republicans and Democrats have promised for years.
00:04:44.200As long as I'm alive, as long as a lot of you are probably some of you are still alive or alive.
00:04:49.520They promised to bring down drug prices.
00:04:52.480They guaranteed they were going to do it in a campaign promise and they were never able to do it.
00:05:00.900And we've got someone on the Republican side.
00:05:03.940John Thune, supposed to be America first, supposed to be the man leading the Republican Party.
00:05:09.900And all of a sudden, he says it's going to present some problems.
00:05:12.540Whereas over on the House side, Ro Khanna, a Democrat, a Marxist Dem from California, said he would be honored to introduce the bill into Congress to be bipartisan legislation.
00:05:58.440Senator Rand Paul, he was garnering support in the Senate to try to overturn President Trump's tariffs.
00:06:06.940Those same tariffs that now have backed China into a corner, have backed Canada into a corner, have backed like 99 percent of the world into a corner to give us level playing field, to give us more fair trade deals.
00:06:20.240But Rand Paul and a few rhinos and some Marxist Dems, that would be a good idea.
00:06:26.180Now, it ultimately failed and President Trump would have vetoed it.
00:06:29.180But Rand Paul, the reason I say this is Rand Paul was on Jesse Waters' show this weekend.
00:06:33.980To Jesse's credit, I'm not a fan of Jesse's, but I've got to get credit where credit is due.
00:07:28.960If the consumer is happy to pay more when they go to Walmart or more when they go to Target in order to get fairness or to teach China a lesson, then so be it.
00:09:35.200Now, the 30 percent tariff, to that I say the same thing.
00:09:38.680So what Rand Paul said is a blatant lie when it comes to those tariffs.
00:09:42.920As I said, if he can find something that the American consumer paid 145 percent more on, I'll go buy that product.
00:09:49.760And I'll buy some for the audience as well because it's a blatant lie.
00:09:53.660Folks, I want to bring in our guest today, a great friend of the show, a great American, a former senior NSA intel analyst and whistleblower, the great Russ Tice, our go to on deep state and everything that has to do with government corruption.
00:10:15.960Russ, first, I got to ask you, how are you doing?
00:17:59.060You know, the technology should not have reached the level of a black program, but they hid it in a black program because of the of the special security apparatus that a black program had.
00:18:10.200They did it on purpose so that no one very few people at NSA would even know that to hide it.
00:18:18.960Because, you know, I specialize in nothing but black programs when I was at NSA and a DIA and with the half of that stuff.
00:18:26.680And I worked for the Department of the Navy before that.
00:18:29.300But so, you know, she needs some some hardened spooks that know where things are to come on board.
00:18:37.300And she's she's got the right spirit, but she just doesn't have the background.
00:18:42.980And she needs the right people to to to be there to help her.
00:18:47.980And right now, I just I assume she brought her own entourage, her own folks with her.
00:18:54.520And they got clearances, which is why.
00:18:56.360So, you know, you bring a whole bunch of neophytes along and and then they're all their eyes get wide.
00:19:02.020And when they see the bells and whistles, when when the person that looks at a real spook looks at that and realizes this is nothing but smoke being blown up their caboose.
00:19:11.340So as far as I can tell, we used to think six or six months.
00:19:15.000I don't see unless she gets the right people that six months is going to make a difference.
00:19:23.580And that's a good point that I never even thought of, that all this bad stuff they're doing is hidden in SAP programs.
00:19:29.140How many would you guess how many SAP programs are being run right now under her eyes that are undermining American democracy?
00:19:38.920Run by the deep state, I guess, for lack of a better term.
00:19:43.480There's an awful there's a lot of SAP programs out there.
00:19:46.140And when I had to go to when I did my one deep set testimony with Congress, where we went into the bowels of the Capitol in the in the skiff there for SAP skiff.
00:19:55.480I think I had three or three or four of the only people, the only staffers in of all of D.C., of all the Congress that could hear what I could tell them was like four of them only.
00:20:10.180So we had an interesting discussion where, you know, one of the programs I knew about, they didn't even know about themselves.
00:21:45.820And that's the first time I meet Tony Schaefer.
00:21:48.720And Tony Schaefer was running that program.
00:21:51.660And let me tell you what you know about that program was there's a whole lot more to that that Tony Schaefer has never told the world because he can't.
00:22:00.060Because of the dark black nature of it.
00:22:11.000I was there for five months pretty soon after that myself.
00:22:15.120But so I helped him out and got him what he needed.
00:22:18.580But I was never read into the program that he was in.
00:22:21.700But, you know, or in some cases that will happen and they'll they'll read me in for like a week to give them a week or two to get the technology they need or whatever's going on or the satellite capabilities, space support or something or other.
00:22:35.100And so, you know, it's and then you get read out.
00:22:39.500And they're very strict in the SAP world.
00:22:41.760That's only a certain amount of people at any one time are allowed to be read into the program.
00:22:46.200So. So and if if the bigot list is, you know, 25 people, then that's it.
00:22:52.760If they want to bring me in for for two weeks to give them some special aid and they're already reached the limit of 25, they got to read someone out just to be in for two weeks and then read me out, bring them back in.
00:23:10.420You know, there's nobody at the at the another desk, the the the the Mideast desk can reach in there and see what these programs are.
00:23:17.560And most of the time when you go overseas, you're there to do this mission and they put they slide you in as if you're someone doing something else.
00:23:27.500And you're you're waiting to to be pinged on to do what you have to do.
00:23:31.860So so so and sometimes the mission gets scratched and you don't do the mission.
00:23:38.600You know, it's sort of like a horse race.
00:23:40.320You know, we got the practice coming up here in Baltimore real soon.
00:23:42.740And, you know, it's like a like a horse that gets scratched at the last minute.
00:24:50.040This is a special access program that I believe is being run by the government for a certain mission that you wouldn't tell me what you believed it was.
00:24:57.000By the way, I've never questioned that you were, you know, whistleblowers get a bad rep.
00:25:02.360I've never questioned Russ if you're a good American or an honorable American.
00:25:06.880I've spoken to you so many times where you've held back things that you said because you said, you know, I just can't tell you that a man who's a bad whistleblower or a traitor to his country.
00:25:14.920As some would suggest, would have no problem saying things like that.
00:25:18.340I know you'd only to be an honorable person.
00:25:22.040So anything they say about you can they can tuck it.
00:25:25.240But Russ called me after that and he said, this is exactly what it was.
00:27:44.200And the same thing with, like, Dan Bongino, who, interestingly enough, that many months ago, I had to warn him because of an email I sent him that it got the FBI apparently screwed up.
00:27:59.500And they sent the response and said, hey, this is Bob, and I'm forwarding this on for filing.
00:28:11.400I said, remember I told you there are more than likely.
00:28:15.500Oh, and then I contacted, after years, I finally contacted a source at NSA to get me an idea of what was going on from security type stuff.
00:28:26.420And finally, the response came back, yes, Bongino, at that time, just several months ago, was being all his comms were targeted by the FBI through NSA.
00:28:38.980And, oh, well, so was Tucker Carlson's comms being everything.
00:28:43.920You know, Tucker Carlson got upset because they watched his comms when he made a phone call to Moscow or something.
00:28:58.980If you have a nephew, you know, a little kid, and you say happy birthday and send him a, I don't know, a Red Ryder BB gun, it's you.
00:29:09.960You know, the NSA and the FBI know about it.
00:29:12.640So, and it's some other, you know, so these people have been doing this just very, not too long ago.
00:29:18.100So, one of Bongino's terms is, you know, I want to see the receipt.
00:29:21.840So, I said, I sent, I forwarded him the email, and I said, unless you got somebody named Bob working for you who categorizes your comms stuff, Dan, I said, you're being watched.
00:29:33.120And, by the way, I just confirmed it with some folks at NSA.
00:29:35.720So, he finally realized that, you know, yep, they, so now he's the deputy director of the FBI.
00:29:43.580Wait, you're saying you sent a personal email to his personal email?
00:29:54.740And when you spoke to Dan, was he a little bit concerned?
00:29:59.780I think, I watched one of his shows where he said, he said something like, I've been, I've talked to the whistleblower, and I know you're watching me, and I don't give a crap or something like that.
00:30:10.960So, that's what he said on one of his shows.
00:31:55.100Well, I think he's turned on that switch where, you know, before he'd be in his T-shirt that says, you know, all different kinds of different sayings.
00:32:47.780You know, he's working for Patel, who, you know, is his boss.
00:32:52.380And, of course, I still see Patel with, you know, with just an open shirt on.
00:32:57.380And, you know, so, but, you know, so Bongino's Mr. Professional.
00:33:03.340Now, even himself, he said there's a lot of stuff coming down the line.
00:33:06.620So, I'm, the bottom line is I'm going to give him a little leeway and say, hey, yeah, there's an awful lot of stuff that you can go through.
00:33:15.320And the machinations are probably pretty in-depth.
00:33:18.000But at some point, you know, it's, you know, I don't know, another 100 days or something.
00:33:38.960Let's talk a little bit of foreign policy, Russ, before we wrap up here.
00:33:42.380President Trump obviously on his Middle East trip this week, he says he's dropping sanctions on Syria to move to a more normalized relationship with the country.
00:34:27.980You got the Sunni and the Shiite mix that's going on there.
00:34:32.880It's and you got different, you got the different religions that are coming up from the, you know, Lebanon.
00:34:43.480It's it's I would say, you know, tread softly.
00:34:47.100Now, obviously, the thing they're looking at is to ultimately isolate Iran, because I believe that they're right when they say Iran is probably getting close to having a nuke.
00:34:59.880And all those centrifuges that are buried deep down in the in the in the wherever there's there's been in, you know, nine day.
00:35:14.040So what I did the show the night that Mike Waltz was let go and the initial reports were and still to this day, I'm told now the audience got upset.
00:35:24.740Some of the audience got upset that I came out here and said Mike Waltz was fired, but that's what the reports were.
00:35:30.020And there's nothing to the contrary to believe that he wasn't let go of that position.
00:35:33.700Yes, he will be taken over at the NATO, but or whatever.
00:35:38.960I think he was given position NATO, right, or the U.N.
00:35:55.240So there are some reports that he was let go from there because he was reportedly working behind the scenes with Israel to provoke a war with Iran.
00:36:04.940And President Trump says, no, we're not doing that.
00:36:08.040I want to try to handle this thing amicably.
00:36:10.440I want to try to handle it diplomatically.
00:36:12.540I don't want boots on the ground in Iran.
00:36:15.060I don't want American troops being sent overseas anymore.
00:37:12.100You know, if we have to put our own boots on now on the ground in Iran, we're going to have a whole lot of boys and girls coming back horizontal with a flag over a box.
00:37:23.900Right. If Israel wants a war with Iran, you put your boots on the ground.
00:38:30.500But but these facilities, when you go underground, OK, you might find the hole where that where the mole dug into the ground.
00:38:40.080But you don't know whether he went right or left or whether he went down on an angle on another, you know, you know, 20 feet or in this case, 200 feet, 300 feet, 400 feet or whatever, then turn right, then turn left, then then came back underneath of himself.
00:38:57.440Now, there are some telltale signs that you look for in the intel field that I'm not going to talk about.
00:39:03.980But, you know, those are the things that you might use satellites for, you know, or different types of technology to try to sniff them out to find out where these things are.
00:39:19.580And even if you think you've sniffed them out, you might not have the right plot, even even you put the mother of all bombs penetrator on on where you think it is.
00:39:32.660So I think President Trump is right to try to try to coax them into into, you know, negotiations, try to get them to give it up, give them certain, you know, guarantees and keep our boys and girls from from coming back horizontal.
00:39:50.700And and try to get this done amicably without, you know, blowing up the world or having all our young young people, you know, coming back destined for, you know, coffins and grave sites.
00:40:08.040Right. And regardless of what Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro want to make you think, that doesn't make you anti-Semitic to think like that.
00:40:15.580It's just very logical thinking that we shouldn't be sending our brothers and sisters into harm's way, into a war that has absolutely nothing to do with us.
00:40:24.540I also think it's very telling that Israel doesn't want to end a war, that Israel doesn't want peace.
00:40:32.040Now, let's not forget, Iran is also a country that said death to America.
00:40:36.820It's worse. They haven't acted on their action.
00:40:38.880I don't think they were. You know, they're very hyperbolic about the way they speak.
00:40:42.440I don't think they'll ever make a move, especially not with Donald Trump in office.
00:40:45.980And Donald Trump wants to ensure that they don't ever make a move.
00:40:48.960We're doing it the right way. So I think a lot of people are getting tired of Benjamin Netanyahu trying to force us into a war.
00:40:57.740And like I said, regardless of what Ben Shapiro or Mark Levin or any of the other war hawks, the John Bolton of the world tell you, it doesn't make you anti-Semitic to be anti-war.
00:41:07.800Very, very simple. We saw what America did to the Middle East and Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria.
00:41:14.580We don't need another instance like that in Iran.
00:41:18.340And I think a lot of people are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on that.
00:41:23.100Russ, before we wrap up, I want to get to sort of an interesting story.
00:41:26.880Tucker Carlson had this guest on our show. I watch Tucker quite often.
00:41:30.300He's a friend of mine and a good American.
00:41:32.380And another man who's very anti-war, I might say, who's been called anti-Semitic for his views on that, but had this guest on.
00:41:41.340A lady who worked under George W. Bush, who had come out and said that America built a $21 trillion building underground, a doobstay base that could eventually be used.
00:41:54.600First of all, how does $21 trillion get spent without anyone figuring it out, let alone a doge would have found it by now?
00:42:04.740Can you confirm or deny that something like this exists?
00:42:08.880Well, think about the Pentagon budget where they say billions and billions disappear or they go wherever.
00:42:14.840A lot of that money gets put into black programs that they're funding, and they don't want to tell you that they used this amount of money for a black program.
00:42:24.700The SAP program sucks up a lot of that money, and they don't want to tell anybody about it.
00:42:29.500And it's like when they really push the issue, they bring them back.
00:42:32.780They say, hey, this is for this super-duper program or whatever.
00:42:37.860And then the Congress, they cool their jets.
00:42:41.740So, but, what, $21 trillion for Atlantis?
00:42:48.280And I think she even said something about some of them are under the ocean.
00:43:09.940Her name is Catherine Austin Fitz, and she was the, this is what also doesn't make sense.
00:43:15.120She was the assistant secretary of HUD, housing and Irving development between 1989 and 1990 for only a year.
00:43:23.000And she bases it off of a Michigan state economist named Mark Skidmore, who released a report in 2017, stating that him and a team of scholars, I guess they were Doge before Doge, had uncovered $21 trillion in unauthorized spending in Department of Defense and housing and urban development from the years 1998 to 2015.
00:43:44.340Well, okay, we know of some facilities that are underground, like Red Rock, or Raven Rock, that's just over the border from Maryland into Pennsylvania, north of Frederick, Maryland, and Fort Detrick, up that way.
00:44:04.000We know about Greenbrier, which is where the continuity of force was for Congress, which has now been outed, and we know that it's no longer there.
00:44:17.180If it's not at Greenbrier anymore, which is an underground facility, and a nice big hotel with, you know, opulence, and Red Rocks, at 9-11, where did they fly the vice president, Cheney?
00:45:01.200And then, ultimately, if Greenbrier is not going to be able to handle it, and you're no longer the place for Congress, does that mean we've just decided we're going to let Congress just, you know, get fried like everybody else?
00:45:45.020Well, it's called Ground Zero for a reason, because that's where all the missiles for the Russians and probably now the Chinese are targeted.
00:45:52.320So, we need to have continuity, we need to be able to have command and control for the military, we need to have a president who can call up and say, I want this or that done, and hopefully not, you know, get fried in the process.
00:46:05.400And in case they do take out the president, we need a vice president who can take over the president, and we need a government, which is so, you know, that's been taken care of.
00:46:16.880There are facilities that we don't talk about, and I'm not going to talk about them other than what I've just said.
00:46:21.760But as far as the Atlantis under the ocean and another, you know, city of whatever, Lord knows, 20, Lord knows how many trillions of dollars, this woman is just plain silly.
00:46:33.840Yeah, like I said, it's a cool story, but the fact that someone who was the assistant secretary of HUD would have some sort of information, someone like that wouldn't have that security clearance to know that, right?
00:46:49.540Well, I mean, housing, I guess you've got to build a house somewhere.
00:46:53.860If you're going to build in Atlanta, you've got to have some houses.
00:47:00.260You think there's roofs on these houses?
00:47:01.360Maybe you can rent them out for the weekend or something, or for the week, you know, like you do at the Outer Banks in North Carolina or something.
00:47:45.300You've got to get waste material and waste water and waste everything out.
00:47:50.560And then you've got to do it quietly so no one knows where you've got to get sources of electricity into buildings like this.
00:47:58.360And, you know, it's there's all kinds of logistics involved in building, you know, a nice little gopher hole somewhere that even then what you're going to have is kind of a rudimentary.
00:48:12.240You know, it's not going to President Trump, if he ever had to go to something like this, he's not going to find it as opulent as Trump Tower there in New York.
00:48:43.560And thank you all for being with us today.
00:48:44.960We hope to see you back here tomorrow for the Great America Show, where our quest for truth, justice and the American way continues against all odds, against all haters, against all enemies.
