00:00:23.840I apologize last night not having a show.
00:00:25.760President Trump was having his little rally in Vegas, and we didn't want to butt up against
00:00:28.960that and compete with the president we know who would win there i wasn't ready to accept defeat so
00:00:34.100we gave in uh but the big news today the big news happening tonight lead prosecutor in the
00:00:39.720john brennan case down in the southern district of florida has been let go is this the first
00:00:46.620point is this the inception point that we've all been waiting for will things finally start to move
00:00:53.020Will truth, justice, and the American way prevail in the way that we all wanted it to when we voted for President Trump this past election?
00:01:02.600Is this finally the turning point that we're all waiting for?
00:01:05.540We're going to take all that up tonight.
00:01:08.140Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna telling CBS News earlier today that the other shoe is about to drop on Eric Swalwell.
00:01:16.080There's some more people implicated, I guess, in his, we'll call it funny business.
00:01:21.440I guess to keep it nicely and there's a string I don't know if you folks have been following this
00:01:27.200story but it's it's rather odd string of deaths and missing scientists it's hit 11 now the thing
00:01:34.640in common they're all UFO researchers what the heck is going on are aliens real are UFOs real
00:01:41.980we're going to take all this up folks and much much more I want to bring in our guest today
00:01:45.880because I don't want to leave it all in the locker room fresh off of a nice relaxing vacation with
00:01:50.960his wife, my pal, Steven Gardner. Steve, a delight to have you with us. And it's great to have you
00:01:56.440back in the fight. I've missed you, my friend. Thank you. Yeah. As I was getting ready to leave
00:02:01.800yesterday, I got a little bit delayed at the airport because Air Force One was coming in for
00:02:07.260the WrestleMania event for the weekend. But of course, President Trump's flown out. Now he's in
00:02:14.080Arizona with Turning Point USA. Correct. So let's talk about the big news tonight. The Justice
00:02:19.640department earlier today steven removing a federal career prosecutor who's slow walking
00:02:23.940the charges against john brenner john brennan rather uh former cia director brennan is the
00:02:28.800target as we all know of a grand jury russia gate probe in southern florida last july it was reported
00:02:34.120that former fbi director comey and brennan were both under fbi investigation over their involvement
00:02:39.200in russia gate cia director john ratcliffe also referring brennan and comey for prosecution over
00:02:45.340the summer. But this afternoon, Stephen, it took a little bit of a shift. U.S. Attorney Jason
00:02:50.220Redding-Kanoez was in the Southern District of Florida, who's in charge of this investigation,
00:02:54.520abruptly removing his lead career Miami prosecutor, who they say was stonewalling and slow-walking
00:03:01.060charges against John Brennan. Is this the turning point, Stephen? I get so excited when I saw this
00:03:08.520story this morning. And I said, I got to text Stephen because he talks to his audience about
00:03:13.380arrest. My audience wants to arrest. There's a there's a co-mingling here. Is this the point
00:03:19.240that that you and I and these audiences that we come out here and speak to every day has finally
00:03:23.980been waiting for? I hope so. I mean, if people are not going to follow the law and move it in
00:03:32.180a swift manner, then we've got to find someone that will. This is why President Trump just fired
00:03:37.500Pam Bondi. He knows that more could be getting done. And down in Florida, they know that more
00:03:42.860could be getting done. We have a timeline. We've got to get stuff done on Comey, Brennan,
00:03:48.340Obama, and others. Yes, these are the names that we want to see held accountable. They tried to
00:03:54.620run a coup against a sitting president because they wanted Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton's1.00
00:04:00.800lawyers were involved. I mean, this whole thing, it has to come to a head. It has to have
00:04:07.100accountability. And I'm hoping that this is a major turning point. You always use the term,
00:04:12.140steve when i watch your show the big names the big names the big names and that encompasses uh
00:04:17.440barack obama now i don't want to be the bearer of bad news or black whatever they call it but
00:04:23.440i i mean i don't possibly see there's any way that obama goes down just based on now i pray to god
00:04:29.460that he does but just based on what we've seen with the dragging of the feet i mean we can't
00:04:34.040even get the small guys now we're going to go for the big guy um do you expect that that some of the
00:04:40.380big names like Brennan, like Clapper, like Comey, like struck start to fall? Yeah, I don't think
00:04:49.060that we will get Obama, but I would love to see him walked into a courtroom and forced to testify
00:04:54.240because he would have to tell the truth under oath. Right. But I do believe there is a chance
00:04:59.760to get John Brennan. I believe, you know, if someone is the head of the CIA, they're in a
00:05:04.900position of extreme trust, and they're supposed to be operating off of native soil. And then they
00:05:11.360come home under the direction of Clinton and Obama to perform this coup. They have to be held
00:05:18.120accountable. So for me, I believe he's the biggest name that we could get and the name that we should
00:05:23.460get. Yeah, I agree. Start with him. Move to Comey, too. I mean, the fact that the case dropped in
00:05:29.520in virginia was such a disgrace um i don't know if you saw this but the other day uh tulsi gabbard
00:05:36.500who i think has been up there with besant one of his best picks up there with rfk one of his best
00:05:42.080picks so far you know it's funny i spent a lot of time on twitter i'm probably up steven to like
00:05:47.560two or three o'clock in the morning just doom scrolling on twitter and i promised i would never
00:05:50.900get there in life but somehow i found myself in love with twitter and i doom scroll and i've been
00:05:55.880following this war between Roger Stone and Laura Loomer, because Laura Loomer has been trying to
00:06:01.600get Tulsi Gabbard fired. Now, to the best of my knowledge, Tulsi has been the only one in this
00:06:06.820cabinet, with the exception of a few, but the main one in this cabinet, I should say, who has been
00:06:12.260looking for truth, justice in the American way. It was Tulsi Gabbard who went down to that
00:06:17.840warehouse in Florida and raided the joint. She was down there personally. It was Tulsi Gabbard0.99
00:06:22.840who the other day referred Eric Chiaramella, a name that hasn't been allowed to be said,
00:06:28.420former CIA guy, for the fake witch hunt on the second impeachment against President Trump,
00:06:34.380where he testified that it was firsthand knowledge and then later said, no, it was second and
00:06:39.020thirdhand knowledge. And that's not how being a whistleblower goes. That's hearsay. That's not
00:06:44.300firsthand knowledge. That's the game of telephone that we all played in second grade, Stephen,
00:06:48.600where the thing started at the first row. And by the time it got to the last row, it was
00:06:52.020nothing even close to what it was. She's the only one who's actually trying to do anything.0.61
00:06:59.400And here you have Laura Loomer trying to get her fired. Can you read into that?0.99
00:07:03.240Yeah, I can tell you what this whole thing comes down to. Israel, right? If you go anything against0.79
00:07:09.040Israel, then they come after you hard and she comes after you the hardest. So I don't know why,
00:07:16.040you know, President Trump is doing a lot to help Israel. Israel is about to end a war with Lebanon
00:07:21.560and Hezbollah. They just had a historic meeting, the first since 1983. But anybody that doesn't
00:07:28.480just walk to the beat of Israel's drum, they come after aggressively. And I think that she's doing0.78
00:07:34.760a really great job. Look, look, she was, Tulsi Gabbard was going to be fired. Roger Stone stepped0.96
00:07:41.160in and reminded President Trump, hey, she's been extremely loyal to you. She can disagree with the
00:07:48.160Iran war. But if she stays loyal to you, she has a mission. She's trying to take down Brennan.
00:07:55.080She's trying to expose the election fraud. She's doing a lot to keep our country safe.0.78
00:08:00.720It's OK that she has a different opinion. I mean, for heaven's sakes, she was the keynote speaker
00:08:06.460at Rage Against the War Machine. She's anti-war. She didn't see things, but she didn't come out
00:08:12.820like Joe Kent and abandon the president. She is sticking with her post. She's sticking with what
00:08:18.620she believes is her truth. And I loved what she said under oath to Congress. Listen, the president
00:08:25.120of the United States is the only one that can decide what an imminent threat is. Even though
00:08:29.780I'm the head of the intelligence agencies, all I do is gather and report. And then he makes the
00:08:36.000decision as commander in chief. You know, you bring up such a really good point there, Stephen.
00:08:40.740And we've all worked for people that we don't necessarily agree with on on some things.
00:08:46.180And that's normal. Like people don't seem to understand that.
00:08:49.480A lot of people have gotten sycophantical. That's normal to not agree with people on certain things on something.
00:08:54.700You shouldn't agree with someone on everything. That's not normal.
00:08:58.300Tulsi Gabbard, I think you brought up a really good point, encompasses what it means to be that.
00:09:03.020Yes, I agree with you. I don't think Tulsi's for this war at all.
00:09:06.040I do think she understands the imminent threat of Iran. I think she understands the threats that it poses.0.96
00:09:10.280But I think in the back of Tulsi's mind, yes, she is absolutely against this war.
00:09:15.000But she puts her personal opinion and personal bias aside and realizes that she works at the pleasure of the president of the United States.
00:09:23.220And she's been able to, as a professional, divide her personal opinion from what's best for the country to what President Trump thinks.
00:09:32.240I think that's absolutely miraculous that there's somebody that's able to do this without throwing a temper tantrum saying, I'm out of here.
00:09:41.180I resign. I'm taking my ball and going home because you went to war with terrorists who have been bullying the world for 47 years and want to kill everybody who's not not not part of their IRGC.0.89
00:09:53.520I think that's probably the most impressive thing now that you bring that up about her.0.79
00:10:09.960But he doesn't throw him under the bus.
00:10:11.740He doesn't say he's an idiot or he just says, listen, I don't I didn't agree with that.
00:10:16.140I didn't agree with glyphosate, but the president can do what he wants.
00:10:20.660And my job is to do as much as I can under his administration.
00:10:24.640It's his administration after all. So I respect these people that are in high office that, you know, they stick to their guns.
00:10:33.100But at the end of the day, like you said, they serve at the pleasure of the president.
00:10:37.040You know, you brought up the RFK and I was talking with somebody about this in great depth today.
00:10:42.040The whole thing of like these GLP ones, these Ozempics and semiglutides that seemingly everybody's on these days.
00:10:49.740And every day you pick up the phone and you look at an article, it's like, oh, Ozempic's making somebody go bald.
00:10:56.100So Ozempic's making somebody go blind. Ozempic's killing your bone density.
00:11:00.740And I thought back. I said, you know, for a second, let me think about this, because the last time we saw this happen was during COVID.
00:11:08.160You remember hydroxychloroquine. You remember ivermectin.
00:11:11.920It was about 50 cents a pill, a dollar a pill. And they went crazy about it.
00:11:19.320Now it's everyone's on this and it's like, oh, it's going to kill you.
00:11:22.600If you look at the amount of money that the federal government spends each and every year for diabetics, for people on sleep apnea, for people with comorbidities and preexisting conditions, it's trillions and trillions of dollars.
00:11:35.020So why the hell would the federal government want to get people off these when the health care companies are making out like bandits?
00:11:41.760Yeah, well, I mean, President Trump is the only president with courage to actually go after big pharma, big insurance.
00:11:48.740I mean, I would be a hypocrite right now, John.
00:11:51.440I've got terzepatite in my bloodstream right now.
00:11:53.960I'm on the lowest dose of a GLP-1 because I have a chronic pain in my side for five years.
00:12:01.540It's the only thing that's gotten rid of it.
00:12:03.860So I'm not on it to lose weight, but I trust the science enough that I've got it in my body.
00:12:10.160I think at the end of the day, people have to do what they think is right.
00:12:13.400But I do see that someone went blind, someone went bald, someone had a heart attack or whatever.
00:12:18.600But, you know, and even RFK Jr., he's pushed back on these because he's like, hey, listen, before you take a shot, I'm not going to I'm not going to make fun of the shots.
00:12:28.240But at fifteen hundred dollars, maybe we should clean up our diet or maybe we should walk more, get more sunshine or whatever.
00:12:36.380But now that President Trump has those down to like one hundred dollars, he's like, maybe there's something to it.
00:12:42.580Yeah. Yeah. It's it's it's something that, you know, me and Mark Mitchell went out one night and we had probably a lot of beers. Right. Which we shouldn't have had. But we had a bunch of beers and we started talking about this. And Mark and I looked up how much he had told me a story about having sleep apnea and how he cured it himself and how the doctor wanted him to go for the sleep test, which was like two thousand dollars and then get the CPAP machine, which is another like two thousand dollars and then do this.
00:13:09.640that's a few thousand dollars and then if that doesn't work we can drill here and we can drill
00:13:13.180there and and he's like this is crazy so mark did the research and looked up like how much it cost
00:13:18.300he's like holy crap this is a massive uh government spending operation and it just makes you think i
00:13:26.000didn't mean to go off on the tangent but i it was just fresh on my mind and i'm like this is crazy
00:13:30.540because it's the same thing that happened with the hydroxychloroquine which by the way i took
00:13:34.780and it cured my COVID in two days, okay?
00:13:37.740And the ivermectin, I'm like, this is crazy.
00:13:40.440Folks, we're live tonight with Stephen Gardner,
00:13:57.580thanks everybody for staying with us and we are live tonight for the great america show with my
00:14:07.460pal stephen gardner host of the stephen gardner show steve there's so much to get to uh today
00:14:12.120before we move on to iran and the breaking news we have there i want to move on to the breaking
00:14:16.420news that we have out of uh the congress tonight or rather congresswoman uh anna paulina luna
00:14:22.500She was speaking with CBS earlier today, and she had some, I guess, pretty troubling news for Mr. Ruben Gallego from the great state of Arizona.
00:14:35.480He's been doing several interviews in what appear to be a state of panic as he desperately tries to distance himself from his good friend, Eric Swalwell.
00:14:44.700I think now he's got a bigger reason to sweat.
00:14:46.600Anapolino Luna telling CBS News tonight implied that another bomb is about to drop in the Swalwell scandal and it's aimed directly at Gallego.
00:14:55.240She also said that she's already referred the matter to the Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
00:15:00.280Now, we know Gallego ran his political operation for his failed, and I mean failed, presidential campaign.
00:15:08.180What kind of fun are we going to find out that Ruben Gallego has taken part in?
00:15:13.560Well, the two of them would go on foreign trips regularly, according to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
00:15:22.520They would not take their spouses with them.
00:15:25.700We now know that Gallegos and Eric Swalwell both use campaign finance money to pay for their trip to Puerto Rico.
00:15:35.440Why were they in Puerto Rico? To pay for Gallego's wedding to his mistress while his ex-wife that he cheated on was nine months pregnant.
00:15:45.640There's also now videos out of Congressman Eric Swalwell with what looks to be escorts or prostitutes.
00:15:55.040And allegations are that there is a man and you only see a side profile, but it sure looks a lot like Gallego's.
00:16:01.960Now, I'm not saying it's him alleged allegations.
00:16:04.920I want to cover my butt, but it doesn't look good for Mr. Gallegos because these two were joined at the hip and they were both up to some pretty nasty stuff.
00:16:16.380Yeah, I mean, Steve, if you're a good friend, right, someone that you spend a lot of time with was doing something like that, I'd presume that you'd probably know it's like Bernie Madoff.
00:16:25.280You remember Bernie Madoff was stealing all this money from people and we're like, oh, my God, I had no idea he was doing that.
00:16:31.960It's like, how would you not know that your good friend is a total predator?
00:16:38.220They don't turn it on and off when they're with you and not with you.
00:16:41.120As a matter of fact, if you're good friends with them, they probably turn it on when they're with you.
00:16:45.660Yeah, I mean, this is why Roger Stone could confidently say you're not going to find any sick, weird, perverted stuff about Donald Trump and the Epstein files because they've been friends for 40 years.
00:16:57.240Bill O'Reilly, friends for almost, you know, three decades.
00:17:01.080I know this guy. Yeah, he's a womanizer. He loves women, but you're not going to find him doing creepy weirdo stuff with girls. Right. So but with this guy, Yegos, I mean, come on. The guy uses campaign finance money to fly to Puerto Rico to get married to his mistress while his ex-wife, who's nine months pregnant with his baby. Come on. This isn't exactly the perfect nuclear family.0.90
00:17:23.800Yeah. And you know what? It's not just a Democrat thing. It's a Republican thing. When the Epstein stuff came out, Stephen, you and I had three or four episodes that we spoke about it, that we said everything's got to come out. Everything's got to come out immediately. And we called and we urged for it. And I've said it multiple times on the record. If Donald Trump is in that document some way, somehow, some form where he did something wrong, that should be exposed. Nobody should be protected when you're taking advantage of women. Nobody should be protected when you're taking advantage of just about anybody.
00:17:52.560So I was happy to see on the other side, Tony Gonzalez leaving Congress.
00:17:58.100I was a little upset that he's leaving the way he's leaving and how he's able to take his pension with him because that man is a lowlife scumbag.
00:18:05.440Another one who was preying on women, using his position of power, asking for naked pictures, sending illicit pictures to the point where his staffer, to get attention, lit herself on fire and killed herself.
00:18:17.700That's not just a woman with an ordinary issue.
00:18:20.400that's a woman who is very deeply troubled, and it's a shame, a damn shame that she had to go
00:18:25.400through that and end her life like that. Well, just yesterday, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri
00:18:31.500announced that he's putting forward a new bill that if you are kicked out of Congress because
00:18:36.960of sexual harassment, rape or whatever, that if it's proven that you should not get your pension,
00:18:43.280the American taxpayer should not be paying for you to live in retirement after doing that kind
00:18:49.740heinous stuff so hopefully we'll see some traction on that we'll see yeah and i think do you think
00:18:55.680that this is a point now in congress where it starts to take a turn where we start to get some
00:19:00.360accountability i mean the whole place is and it was so funny i saw lauren bobert out of all people
00:19:06.220commenting on it saying why is everyone in this place so horny as you look back and see what lauren
00:19:11.620bobert did uh a year ago in a beetlejuice play with the guy next door i mean it's like so laughable
00:19:18.600that these members now, do you think we start to finally, because I think they should all be
00:19:23.280exposed. If you're cheating on your wife, if you're, I think it should all be exposed out
00:19:27.380there. We're paying your salaries. You should be sent there to do an honorable job. Do you think
00:19:31.480we're finally going to get some exposure of these people who are corrupt, disgusting, low-life scum
00:19:38.080in that building? Yes and no. So we found out in the last 90 days that $17 million of taxpayer money0.57
00:19:47.520went to cover up sexual assault for members in Congress, right as the Epstein stuff was at the
00:19:53.500height of its fervor, you thought, oh, wow, they're going to vote to expose those names. No,
00:19:59.880they voted to cover it up. So that's the no. The yes side is I do believe that if people start
00:20:06.320getting exposed and there is a chance that it could become public, maybe people start to behave
00:20:11.880better. Maybe we get better people voted into office. We're just a little bit more picky about
00:20:17.320who we let represent us in Washington, D.C.
00:20:19.720So I don't know what the final outcome will be,
00:20:22.220but I'm glad that Gonzalez and Gallegos and Eric Swalwell,
00:20:27.240after all of the crap that they've put us through,
00:20:30.760that they are on their way out the door.
00:20:33.060Yeah, I don't know if I ever told you this.
