Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Kash Patel On Collusion Lies, Big Tech Corruption, and Alien Encounters | TRIGGERED Ep. 7

00:00:00.000 you you

00:01:22.000 you what's going on guys

00:01:44.000 Welcome to another episode of Triggered, and this one's going to be fun.

00:01:48.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:01:50.000 We have Kash Patel, the former Deputy Director of National Intelligence.

00:01:55.000 If you've been watching what's going on for the last week, whether it's all of a sudden

00:02:00.000 these unidentified objects falling out of the sky or we're shooting them down, things

00:02:04.000 we've never heard of before, the leak that the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was taken out by

00:02:09.000 America because of course it was, and when we tried blaming that on Russia, it never

00:02:13.000 really made a lot of sense to me.

00:02:15.000 We got everything, but this is a guy that knows how the sausage is made.

00:02:20.000 This is a guy that had the information that you nor I would ever be privy to, and so I

00:02:25.000 think you're going to want to see it.

00:02:27.000 I think you're going to have a lot of fun with that one, but before we get to Kesh,

00:02:30.000 I think we got to talk a little bit about the news of the week and some of the things

00:02:34.000 that are going on today.

00:02:36.000 Obviously, yesterday was the Super Bowl. 0.94

00:02:39.000 And the left-wing lunatics will figure out a way to politicize literally everything. 0.90

00:02:46.000 So for some hard-hitting analysis, we're going to bring you to the women of The View. 0.99

00:02:52.000 Now, these lunatics... 0.94

00:02:55.000 As always, we'll have a take on something. 1.00

00:02:57.000 Now, it may be the dumbest fucking take you've ever heard in your life, but they will have a take nonetheless. 0.99

00:03:04.000 Watch as they perpetuate racism on a mainstream show on regular television for all of America to see. 1.00

00:03:12.000 Check it out for yourselves.

00:03:14.000 The only thing that would have made it better for me is, you know, finally we know that black quarterbacks can lead teams.

00:03:21.000 And are smart enough to lead teams.

00:03:25.000 I would like to see... I always knew that.

00:03:27.000 That was never a question.

00:03:28.000 We knew that. But, you know, it takes people a minute to catch up.

00:03:34.000 Wow. Wow.

00:03:37.000 So finally, a black quarterback can lead teams?

00:03:39.000 That's their take.

00:03:41.000 Because it's never been done before?

00:03:43.000 Is that what they're telling us?

00:03:44.000 Do they not know? I mean, listen, when Whoopi is the voice of reason, like, well, wait a minute, you know, we sort of knew that, but the rest of racist America couldn't possibly imagine that even if Patrick Mahomes went to the Super Bowl a few years ago, you know.

00:03:58.000 Minor details like that.

00:04:00.000 It reminds me of when I went on The View, folks.

00:04:03.000 I went on The View to promote my...

00:04:04.000 I guess I was 18. I went on The View to talk about my book, Triggered.

00:04:08.000 They invited me on the show to do a whole hour.

00:04:11.000 Now, I'm not naive.

00:04:13.000 I know that I'm going to take some hits, but I also figured that if someone invites you to talk about their book, maybe they'd let you actually talk about the book, but that didn't happen.

00:04:21.000 And just in case it went exactly the way I thought it would go, I did a little bit of homework right before the show.

00:04:28.000 I just Googled, what are the dumbest things ever said on The View? 0.85

00:04:31.000 And that's the episode where I guess I called out Joy Behar for wearing blackface and Whoopi Goldberg for basically promoting Roman Polanski, a convicted child pedophile. 0.97

00:04:43.000 You know, minor details like this.

00:04:44.000 It was so funny. I wish you guys could have seen it, because I got so many compliments from the people who saw the show.

00:04:48.000 But what you didn't see...

00:04:50.000 was what happened with the audience. 0.89

00:04:51.000 Now, this is an audience in New York City that The View and the lunatics of the left lost.

00:04:57.000 Whoopi was MFing the audience in the middle of it, saying, this isn't a, quote, effing Trump rally, because what they did was so insane and so indefensible that they lost a New York City crowd at The View to me.

00:05:13.000 I wish that ABC or NBC, whatever the hell station they're on, would put this one up, because, honestly, it's truly epic.

00:05:22.000 But if this take... 0.99

00:05:24.000 Wasn't exactly the level of stupidity that we've come to know from the people of The View and the same amount of racism that they're perpetuating. 1.00

00:05:32.000 Another far-left activists were out there talking about how racist it was for the name Kansas City Chiefs. 0.98

00:05:40.000 Somehow, the team that is the Super Bowl champions or world champions—I'm trying to still figure that one out since I think football's only played in America, but minor details— I think calling them the Kansas City Chiefs actually is glorifying the notion of Native American tribes, that they are strong warriors, that they won the world championship.

00:05:59.000 But no, there are still the people out there that go as far as to say fans will don more We're good to go.

00:06:29.000 It's like they don't have anything else to bitch about anymore, folks. 0.94

00:06:32.000 They've just lost their minds and they don't care. 0.87

00:06:35.000 They're catering to, like, the two people who figured out how to make themselves somehow victims of this who are probably getting paid to be victims like we've seen so much.

00:06:43.000 But... In other insane news of the week, Australia established a new ambassador for gender equality.

00:06:52.000 And guys, it's everything you would think that it would be.

00:06:56.000 Remember, it's always in the eyes.

00:06:59.000 The eyes give it away way before everything else.

00:07:02.000 Check it out for yourself, and I'll have some commentary.

00:07:06.000 Hello, I'm Stephanie Copas-Campbell, Australia's new ambassador for gender equality.

00:07:11.000 I'm incredibly honoured to take on this role as the lead international advocate for Australia's commitment to gender equality and the human rights of women and girls and persons of diverse gender identities.

00:07:22.000 In this role, I'm committed to listening to those who are dedicated to promoting gender

00:07:27.000 equality and learning about the perspectives and priorities in communities and countries

00:07:32.000 in our region and globally.

00:07:35.000 Promoting gender equality is the right thing to do, but it's also the smart thing to do. 1.00

00:07:39.000 It is central to Australia's diplomatic, economic development and regional security, as well

00:07:44.000 as our international engagement.

00:07:46.000 I look forward to working with partners in Australia, in the Pacific, in Southeast Asia

00:07:52.000 To progress the Australian Government's priorities to increase women's economic empowerment, women and girls' leadership, and to end sexual and gender-based violence, to improve access to health and education services, and progress the Women, Peace and Security agenda.

00:08:09.000 As I said, guys, it's always in the eyes.

00:08:11.000 Now, I'm not sure how this is going to lead to any equality.

00:08:16.000 I have a feeling when we've seen these programs, it probably creates equality for men who want to compete in women's sports and other such programs.

00:08:23.000 But again, I'm still trying to figure out how it strengthens Australia's defense programs.

00:08:30.000 Because it doesn't, folks.

00:08:32.000 It doesn't. The insanity never ends.

00:08:34.000 Now, we tried doing a little bit of research into this woman, Stephanie Corpus Campbell.

00:08:39.000 Apparently, from what we were able to find on her LinkedIn profile, has no prior experience in public service based on what we were able to see.

00:08:47.000 Maybe there's a lot.

00:08:48.000 Maybe they'll make it up.

00:08:49.000 Maybe, who the hell knows, she checks some sort of box off that makes it a thing.

00:08:53.000 But what is the purpose of this ambassadorship?

00:08:56.000 What are her qualifications?

00:08:58.000 And what is it that's going on here?

00:09:00.000 Because apparently it's not just Australia, folks.

00:09:02.000 We've been looking to Europe and some of the other lunatics leading the world stage on some of this.

00:09:07.000 Obviously, our folks in Canada, but we'll get to that in a minute.

00:09:11.000 But apparently, the U.S. and the Biden White House has also created a gender policy council to, quote, advance gender equity policies.

00:09:21.000 Because equity is always key. Remember, guys, it's not about equality.

00:09:24.000 It's about equity, which is the equity of outcome, not the equity of opportunity.

00:09:29.000 We've got to remember that in everything that they do.

00:09:31.000 But what are these programs doing?

00:09:34.000 The answer is probably not a lot of anything.

00:09:37.000 So if you thought the left was losing their minds with something like this, this one was even crazier to me.

00:09:44.000 Apparently, a left-wing abolished the police activist, Baker.

00:09:49.000 Died this weekend after robbers mowed her down near an Oakland bank.

00:09:54.000 They dragged her to death, and her family does not want the criminals prosecuted.

00:10:02.000 Either her family hates her, or there's a whole lot more crazy going on with these people.

00:10:07.000 I mean, think about that. She died being a victim of a crime, and the family, and presumably her, based on her activism, wouldn't want the criminals prosecuted because it somehow perpetuates a cycle of whatever.

00:10:23.000 These are the people Who, like the Biden administration, wants to put in charge.

00:10:28.000 In the process of trying to chase them down, this woman got caught in the door of the fleeing vehicle and was dragged more than 50 feet. 0.83

00:10:37.000 She was then put on life support and died from her injuries.

00:10:40.000 The victim has a history of anti-police beliefs and community activism.

00:10:45.000 I guess Ms. Angel reportedly once bragged on Facebook that she has taught her employees to do what she does and never call the cops. 0.95

00:10:54.000 Her family doesn't even want them prosecuted. 0.99

00:10:58.000 Guys, I got nothing else other than these people are freaking insane.

00:11:01.000 But because of the media, because of the big tech and their lock on leftism, because the leftists have taken over every faction of our government and our world, these people are the people that have much more say. 1.00

00:11:14.000 These are the ones that are going to be making decisions for your children and mine because they've been given platforms when they're clearly freaking idiots. 0.98

00:11:24.000 So, California now introduced a bill that could end K-12 suspensions for defying school rules. 1.00

00:11:32.000 Another one that we can't quite figure out, because if you misbehave, you're supposed to have no consequence, right?

00:11:39.000 That's how we grow and we learn, or at least that, according to this story as well as the last one, is what the left would want you to believe.

00:11:46.000 I'm not sure What they're looking to do.

00:11:49.000 I don't know what the endgame is, other than it leads, in my opinion, to anarchy.

00:11:55.000 Because you can't teach someone if there's never a consequence.

00:11:59.000 Why would they do anything if they can just do whatever they want?

00:12:04.000 The left is promoting lawlessness, and it doesn't stop.

00:12:11.000 And just when you think maybe we'd be at an end to the leftists losing their minds, we have a Yale professor who suggested that mass suicide for old people in Japan is the solution for their rapidly aging society. 0.99

00:12:27.000 They should just go kill themselves. 0.98

00:12:29.000 I guess Harry Carey, because that's the honorable thing to do. 0.99

00:12:33.000 This is a professor at what would be told, what we've been told for years would be one of the finest education institutions ever.

00:12:40.000 In the world. This is one where years ago you'd want to send your kid there desperately.

00:12:45.000 At this point, I don't know that they offer any value because you can't actually get ahead learning to think because if you think a little different than your professor, you're going to be penalized.

00:12:55.000 Ask me how I know. When I speak on these college campuses and they show up and young students show up, I ask them, first thing, raise your hand.

00:13:02.000 If your teachers knew you were here right now, would you be penalized academically?

00:13:06.000 And unanimously, every kid in the room raises their hand.

00:13:09.000 So we want our children to be robots.

00:13:12.000 But he says, I quote, feel like the only solution is pretty clear.

00:13:16.000 He said during an online program in late 2020.

00:13:18.000 in the end, isn't it mass suicide of the elderly?

00:13:22.000 That's his solution, mass suicide. 0.87

00:13:25.000 Sounds like eugenics. 0.98

00:13:27.000 It sounds like insanity, which of course it is, but because it's from the left,

00:13:32.000 because it's from academia, they will continue to have the cover that they need.

00:13:37.000 So in really big breaking news, and before we get into what we're really gonna be talking

00:13:43.000 about tonight, I found, I believe it's the most accurate meme of the week,

00:13:49.000 and it's the men that voted for Joe Biden.

00:13:52.000 I think we finally found an example.

00:13:54.000 Check it out for yourself and tell me where I'm off.

00:14:00.000 Guys, I don't think we're off.

00:14:02.000 I think we pretty much nailed it.

00:14:05.000 Between the white toe and the, let's call it the tight pants and camel toe, I think we found it.

00:14:10.000 And it seems to be a rather large demographic, one promoted by the left and one that we must rebel against.

00:14:20.000 In all seriousness, though, guys, before we get to Kash Patel, and I think this is going to be an important one, we've shot down now multiple objects over the weekend.

00:14:30.000 Apparently, NORAD has not shot down anything over the airspace that it watches.

00:14:35.000 Including Canada, for quite some time.

00:14:38.000 But in the last week, we've shot down about four objects, three aircraft over North America in the past week, in addition to the Chinese spy balloon over the coast of South Carolina.

00:14:49.000 On Friday, an unidentified object was shot down over Alaska by an F-22.

00:14:54.000 Another one where military experts and people currently in the military could not identify their propulsion system.

00:15:03.000 Listen to what...

00:15:06.000 Our brilliant press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, has to say about some of these instances.

00:15:11.000 I think you'll find it rather enlightening.

00:15:14.000 Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?

00:15:20.000 Because it's part of NORAD. The NORAD is part of what you call a coalition.

00:15:28.000 A consortium. A pact of nations.

00:15:29.000 A pact, exactly. And so that's why we were able to do that.

00:15:32.000 Again, we didn't do it on our own.

00:15:34.000 We did it clearly in step with Canada.

00:15:39.000 Okay. I mean, clearly we're going to stick with Canadia!

00:15:46.000 Guys, you've probably heard me bitchy about it before, but in all fairness, this is what happens when your only qualifications that day, you were a foreign-born lesbian who happens to be African-American, and that was the hiring process, it seems, for this individual. 0.93

00:15:59.000 That's not racist. They basically said it.

00:16:02.000 People will criticize you for it, but this is the most incompetent person to ever sit in that office. 0.99

00:16:08.000 Our allies to the north, you know, the little country, Canadia, You gotta be shitting me! 0.98

00:16:17.000 Like, she is the communications director for the White House, for the President of the United States, the leader of the free world. 0.57

00:16:25.000 Now, if you listen to him speak, it's not much better.

00:16:28.000 Okay? But we're being led by imbeciles. 1.00

00:16:32.000 These are the people that are going to get calls when there is an actual alien invasion, which who the hell knows? 1.00

00:16:38.000 Maybe this is it. Like, how about this?

00:16:41.000 Please, we'll take you to our leader as long as you promise to take him with you.

00:16:46.000 Like, because it ain't Oregon, folks.

00:16:49.000 This is a person that's supposed to be...

00:16:53.000 A skilled communicator.

00:16:55.000 She doesn't know what NORAD is.

00:16:57.000 That's pretty clear. But she doesn't know what a lot of the things she's supposed to know about are.

00:17:00.000 And it doesn't matter because, again, she's a lesbian and that's supposed to be, like, wonderful.

00:17:05.000 Because it's not about the qualifications for the job anymore.

00:17:08.000 It's how many boxes we can check.

00:17:10.000 And apparently, she checked off a lot.

00:17:13.000 So, folks... It doesn't just end there, though.

00:17:16.000 This is a little bit more troubling, and a U.S. general in charge of NORAD says he hasn't ruled out anything, including the possibility of extraterrestrial origins.

00:17:26.000 Check it out. This is for General Van Herc.

00:17:30.000 Because you still haven't been able to tell us what these things are that we are shooting out of the sky, that raises the question, have you ruled out aliens or extraterrestrials?

00:17:44.000 And if so, why? Because that is what everyone is asking us right now.

00:17:50.000 Thanks for the question, Helene.

00:17:51.000 I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community I haven't ruled out anything at this point.

00:17:59.000 We continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches North America with an attempt to

00:18:06.000 identify it Wow

00:18:10.000 Remember guys if it is an alien invasion, you know who I want to charge 0.97

00:18:13.000 Joe Biden We're all screwed guys at this point

00:18:18.000 Like I may have to change my presidential vote for 2024 from Donald Trump to just a meteor

00:18:24.000 Just take us out because at this point we deserve it. That's where we're at

00:18:28.000 Okay, guys, I think you're gonna love this guest before I get to cash Patel. I want to thank our sponsors

00:18:34.000 Okay, we have a couple great guys We obviously have Gold Co and we have max refund a couple

00:18:39.000 of guys that took a chance to Sponsor a show like this and I think that's a big deal

00:18:44.000 We've got to support the businesses who are supporting the people who have the guts to have the real conversations that people aren't having.

00:18:51.000 Everyone else, they'll tiptoe around these things.

00:18:54.000 I think Cash will give you a lot of insight on that.

00:18:58.000 Or a small business, large business with W-2 employees, you can now qualify for up to $26,000 per employee.

00:19:05.000 That's possible through a program called ERC. This is not a loan, and if you qualify, you don't even have to pay it back.

00:19:13.000 The Patriots at Max Refund are experts in ERC and will ensure that you secure your maximum amount of money that you deserve on your ERC refund.

00:19:24.000 Visit maxrefund.com slash d-o-n-j-r maxrefund.com slash junior to qualify today.

00:19:33.000 Try to get some of this money back, folks.

00:19:35.000 These programs exist for you.

00:19:37.000 I promise you, everyone on the left has taken care and taken part in every ridiculous program You should be doing it too.

00:19:46.000 Save that money. 1.00

00:19:47.000 Don't let the morons running the government spend it. 1.00

00:19:50.000 And again, make sure they know where it's coming from so they know that it's okay to support shows like this and take part in the patriot economy. 0.99

00:19:57.000 Now, again, it's not easy to do something like this.

00:20:02.000 Our original sponsor, Gold Co., was the first guy out there.

00:20:07.000 Go check out Gold Co., Sorry, DonJrGold.com and see what they have to offer.

00:20:15.000 If you're looking at the world right now and it's like 2008 and you're worried about inflation, you're worried about hitting a wall, you're worried about all of the insanity that we've seen out there, watching Americans who watch their retirements disappear, the U.S. dollar having lost 85% of its purchasing power since 1971.

00:20:32.000 Owning tangible gold, physical gold or silver can maybe help diversify your portfolio.

00:20:39.000 So again, if you're not happy where the world's going, if you want some diversity in there, go check out DonJrGold.com and the guys at GoldCo can help you figure it out.

00:20:49.000 They're experts. They'll get you what you need.

00:20:51.000 And again, make sure you do it that way so they know...

00:20:54.000 That they're supporting something that is actually leading to leads.

00:20:59.000 It's important. It sounds self-serving, and it is.

00:21:01.000 Because that's the reality.

00:21:02.000 We have to support the businesses that are supporting us.

00:21:05.000 We have to not support the businesses that would put us in the gulags.

00:21:09.000 And we've seen that time and time again.

00:21:11.000 So go to DonJrGold.com, learn more about it, and I think you'll like them a lot.

00:21:17.000 So... With that, I'm going to ask Kash Patel to slide over here a little bit.

00:21:21.000 We're still in the makeshift studio, so we're going a little bit ad hoc here.

00:21:28.000 But Kash Patel was the Director of National Intelligence, deputy under, I guess, a couple people, but primarily, well, you worked for Devin Nunes, first of all, in Congress.

00:21:40.000 I think that's important because Kash is the guy that basically discovered All of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

00:21:48.000 Tell us a little bit about that first, and then we'll go into the D&I role.

00:21:51.000 No, first of all, Don, thanks so much for having me on, but I really want to start out of the gate with something important.

00:21:56.000 I'm here to deliver you the Pulitzer Prize for having a brown guy on your show in the first two weeks.

00:22:01.000 Well, you know, listen, listen, we don't do this on purpose.

00:22:05.000 That's it. It's not getting any better.

00:22:06.000 I promise you, buddy, we've known each other for a while.

00:22:09.000 We've communicated a lot over the years.

00:22:12.000 You're not like the token brown guy on the show, right?

00:22:14.000 Like, we're just friends. Like, you know, I understand that there's a lot of people out there that do that.

00:22:19.000 Most of them from the left.

00:22:21.000 You saw the insanity from the view.

00:22:23.000 I mean, like, how about like, I don't know, whether it's the airlines that I see out there, you know, the, well, we want to make sure we have the most diverse array of pilots.

00:22:31.000 I'm like... I don't know.

00:22:33.000 How about we just have, like, the best pilot?

00:22:35.000 Like, when I'm at 36,000 feet, the one thing I want to make sure is that it's a diverse crew.

00:22:39.000 Not a good crew, a diverse one. 1.00

00:22:40.000 No, look, you're right. Look, whether it came to working for Devin Nunes and running the Russiagate investigation, which, of course, we've led to writing the Nunes memo and the exposure of lying to federal courts, the Democrats funneling in money, all to target DJT, all to take out a political opponent, or whether it came to working in the Donald Trump administration, be it as deputy director of National Intel...

00:23:01.000 Or Chief of Staff at DOD. Oh, and by the way, I was the first minority in U.S. history to hold either of those posts.

00:23:09.000 But I'm not proud that I held it as a minority.

00:23:11.000 I'm proud that Donald Trump, Devin Nunes, and others hired me and others who were skilled enough to do the job, not based on the color of my skin or my background.

00:23:20.000 And you just heard Kareem Jean, whatever Pierre her name is, she can't even read English, let alone be our advertiser for Well, that's what it was.

00:23:27.000 When she got that job, it was like, she's the first foreign-born lesbian woman of color to hold. 0.99

00:23:33.000 I'm like, who gives a shit? 0.99

00:23:37.000 But they were promoting that. 0.99

00:23:39.000 And then you're like, I don't know, I'd like competence.

00:23:42.000 And you realize, oh, there's not.

00:23:43.000 I mean, she did it this week.

00:23:44.000 There was some other... Your communications role there.

00:23:47.000 He's the first openly gay man.

00:23:49.000 Who cares? No one cares!

00:23:50.000 Why are they doing it so much?

00:23:52.000 And I would have been offended if Donald Trump advertised that.

00:23:54.000 You should be! You know, that's not what Americans want in government, in your leaders.

00:23:58.000 You want the best man or woman for the job, period.

00:24:01.000 Everything else is collateral.

00:24:03.000 I mean, I would think, just imagine if we're in the Trump presidency and we're talking about the night we took out Baghdadi when I was running counter-terrorism.

00:24:09.000 I'm in this situation with the President of the United States, his cabinet, and the next morning we go to our secretary, our press secretary, and just imagine if she couldn't spell the country Syria.

00:24:20.000 Instead, she says, Canada.

00:24:22.000 Or something like that. Can you imagine the onslaught that we would have gotten from the media, but she gets a pass because she's a... 1.00

00:24:30.000 Well, first of all, she gets a pass.

00:24:32.000 It's liberal privilege. I wrote a book about it, not a gratuitous plug for my book if you haven't seen it, but it is.

00:24:39.000 If Sarah Huckabee, Sanders, did that, if Kayleigh McEnany did that, it would lead the news cycle for weeks. 1.00

00:24:48.000 Instead, she can get out there...

00:24:50.000 Clearly not have an understanding of NORAD. I mean, it's like our air defense systems, like, you know, it's kind of a big one.

00:24:55.000 Like, anyone who's taken a basic policy course, like, knows what that is.

00:24:59.000 She didn't really understand it, didn't understand how to explain it.

00:25:03.000 And, but like, Canadia?

00:25:05.000 But the host didn't even laugh.

00:25:08.000 He didn't even break stride. It's like, we just got to deal with these people because they're stupid. 1.00

00:25:11.000 And it never happened. 1.00

00:25:13.000 And if it wasn't for people like me being willing to call it out, it'd be like, it's just a free pass.

00:25:18.000 The sad thing is, we're joking about it now, and it's good to do that because we need humor in these times.

00:25:23.000 But tragically, with my background, I'm a national security defense intel guy.

00:25:27.000 And we have the Commander-in-Chief of the United States and his team leading out, and they cannot even identify the countries that we're focusing on by name because they don't know them or how to spell them.

00:25:36.000 You know who's looking at us and laughing?

00:25:38.000 Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are staring at us and they're saying, oh, we caught you with, you caught one of our balloons?

00:25:44.000 Well, you missed the other 75.

00:25:47.000 By the way, we're not even going to tell you about the cyber intrusion we're doing to you right now while you're looking left and we're going right.

00:25:52.000 Well, and that's sort of the government cyber intrusion.

00:25:54.000 And then you obviously have, like, TikTok on every kid's phone in America.

00:25:57.000 Like, these guys are racking up information on our children that will be weaponized and used against them forever.

00:26:03.000 There's a reason that TikTok has been labeled the digital Chinese fentanyl, because that's exactly what it is.

00:26:09.000 And people don't care about the six-month plan or the year plan.

00:26:12.000 The CCP has a 15-year plan against America, a 20-year plan.

00:26:16.000 So the information they collect against our children, when they're leaders in government, they're going to be like, hey, we already have all that intel.

00:26:23.000 How are we going to redirect that information to you and against you to bring out China's advantage over America?

00:26:29.000 And do you think they figured out how to target Fang Fang Swalwell overnight?

00:26:32.000 That was a collection operation that went on for years.

00:26:36.000 And they had a member of the House Intelligence Committee targeted by a Chinese spy agent.

00:26:42.000 Just imagine. And I hate to bring in our good friend Devin Nunes on this.

00:26:45.000 But when he was chairman of the Intel Committee, do you know what the world would have done if he was courted by a Chinese spy asset female who he had slept with?

00:26:52.000 It would have been treasonous.

00:26:54.000 He'd be out, and he should be.

00:26:56.000 Yes. But watching, like, I literally can't even understand watching Democrats fight to keep...

00:27:01.000 Well, first of all, the guy's an idiot, right? 1.00

00:27:03.000 Minor details, but like... 1.00

00:27:05.000 So, well, there was no proof that I did anything wrong.

00:27:07.000 That doesn't matter. I mean, if you were sleeping with someone for a while, who knows what they have on you that they could.

00:27:13.000 Maybe they haven't used it yet.

00:27:14.000 But who knows the pile of information that they could hold over your head when it matters?

00:27:20.000 And that in and of itself, as a deterrence, should prevent it.

00:27:24.000 You know, Schiff lied about everything.

00:27:25.000 I mean, these are people that called you a white supremacist.

00:27:29.000 They did. Like, hey, folks!

00:27:31.000 You know, I... I don't even know what to make of it.

00:27:35.000 It was worse. It was worse. They called me.

00:27:36.000 Chip and Swalwell, actually, the first time I got outed in that trash media outfit, Beast, Daily Beast, or Politico, whichever one.

00:27:43.000 I can't keep it straight. 0.93

00:27:44.000 They called me a genocidal dictator.

00:27:47.000 That was the quote, which is hilarious when you think that I am the son of a man who fled a genocidal dictatorship.

00:27:54.000 And then my dad got in line to get into this country legally, and then his son rose to some of the highest ranks in government.

00:27:59.000 That is the American story that the liberals talk about but don't live And we get to because we put America first.

00:28:05.000 Yeah, like, have you ever thought, like, if you were a Democrat, like, you know how easy it is?

00:28:08.000 You'd be president by now. Like, you can do anything you want.

00:28:11.000 They'd be like, A, you're smart.

00:28:13.000 B, you checked off that box, and you're like, oh my god.

00:28:15.000 And yet, you're vilified for all of the things that they have glorified on the other side.

00:28:21.000 You get no points, no credit, nothing.

00:28:25.000 And here's the thing. I don't want any of it.

00:28:26.000 Because, like you, we were put into positions that we never thought we would have.

00:28:31.000 But the one thing we shared is accountability for the American public and putting out the truth.

00:28:37.000 Overall, it doesn't matter what it costs me or you or our families or our persons because the American public and our children and our future are more important than some political tagline.

00:28:46.000 So when we put out things like the Nunes memo, or as I like to call it, the cash memo, Devin and I joke about it, we got excoriated for it.

00:28:52.000 But the only thing that mattered, and I didn't know, most people don't know this, I didn't know Donald Trump back then.

00:28:57.000 I had never met the man.

00:28:58.000 I'd never talked to him.

00:28:59.000 I knew who he was by name.

00:29:01.000 And I told Devin, I said, look, I don't know this guy, but you want to do this Russiagate investigation?

00:29:05.000 I'll make you one deal. We put out whatever we find.

00:29:08.000 Whatever we find. Donald Trump's a Russian asset?

00:29:11.000 We put it out. Now, of course, we never thought we would figure out The biggest criminal scandal put on by the FBI and the DNC, but half of this country still believes Donald Trump's a Russian asset.

00:29:22.000 And we have to work... They're still running with it.

00:29:24.000 They're still running with it. As though it's fact.

00:29:25.000 And yet, when you have...

00:29:27.000 You talked about me.

00:29:29.000 I get it. I've been blessed beyond belief in this country.

00:29:32.000 I got thrown into politics in my late 30s and all of a sudden it's like, hey, I just actually believe this stuff.

00:29:37.000 I will more than happily fight for it.

00:29:39.000 You know, there's a consequence to that.

00:29:40.000 I always say it would have been a lot easier to shut the hell up and be a real estate developer from New York and not get into that.

00:29:45.000 But like, you know, I actually do believe in this stuff.

00:29:48.000 I want to leave my kids a country.

00:29:50.000 You know, that they can recognize.

00:29:51.000 And so it's so important to be in that fight.

00:29:54.000 But I look at what they called me, you know, a traitor.

00:29:56.000 Adam Chivar try me for treason.

00:29:58.000 You know, a crime punishable by death.

00:30:00.000 But Hunter Biden can take a billion from China, work for Ukraine oligarchs, you know, work for Russian oligarchs, money launderer, be paid in diamonds off the books, not declare anything in taxes, drop guns in dumpsters across from high schools.

00:30:14.000 And it's like, he is an upstanding human being.

00:30:17.000 Then I give an impassioned speech and they're like, oh, Don Jr.'s on Coke.

00:30:20.000 You know, and I borrow your name, and I don't do it to vilify anyone, but I borrow it to juxtaposition the two-tier system of justice we have.

00:30:28.000 And let's stick with Hunter Biden and the laptop.

00:30:30.000 I know we know we've proven that the elections were rigged and everything like that, but how about this?

00:30:34.000 Let's fold in everything.

00:30:36.000 And this is something I don't think I've said publicly before.

00:30:38.000 The Hunter Biden laptop is the genesis.

00:30:41.000 Of the classified document investigation for Joe Biden.

00:30:44.000 Let me unpack that. Because people are like, what are you talking about?

00:30:46.000 It's two different things. It's not.

00:30:48.000 If you look at the documentation found on the Hunter Biden laptop, there's one specific memo that he took and copied and pasted and then put into his own words.

00:30:56.000 It was a memo to the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian foreign officials.

00:30:59.000 Me, as a former deputy director of national intelligence, looked at that information and I said, that's classified.

00:31:04.000 There's no way Hunter Biden had access to it because he doesn't have a security clearance.

00:31:08.000 Where did he get it from? Dad.

00:31:09.000 What did they do with that memo?

00:31:11.000 That's the other half of the crime.

00:31:12.000 They took that memo and sent it overseas.

00:31:15.000 He got a seven-figure contract from the Ukrainian government by stealing classified information through his father and hiding it in the Corvette book or wherever it was.

00:31:24.000 And now...

00:31:25.000 They want to give him a pass. And I always say, you know, what if Don Jr.

00:31:29.000 had stolen information from Donald Trump and then got a seven-figure payday from China?

00:31:33.000 Would we even be having this conversation?

00:31:35.000 So for me, the win is highlighting the two-tier system of justice so that we can fix it.

00:31:41.000 Because right now, it started back in Russiagate, and it's continuing on to Hunter Biden's laptop, to Biden's classified document investigation, and now the balloon scandal and everything else.

00:31:50.000 Well, so, I mean, I want to get to the balloon shortly because, you know, I can't tell if it's a scandal or if it's a distraction, right?

00:31:56.000 Like, is this the shiny object that we're waving out over here to not get you talking about, like, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline bombing?

00:32:01.000 But, like, I want to unpack a little bit more of the Hunter thing that you just talked about because I think the question I'm shocked no one's asking is...

00:32:09.000 Everyone understands there's a link there.

00:32:11.000 But are they wondering, like, we've spent $130 billion plus, you know, whatever a percentage of the $220 billion that the Pentagon lost and has magically, I mean, they lost $220 billion, right?

00:32:22.000 Like, you don't just lose that.

00:32:24.000 But how much of that was probably spending in Ukraine?

00:32:26.000 How much of our decision making in Ukraine against Russia and a nuclear power is being based off of stuff because those guys have this information and are holding it over Joe Biden's head?

00:32:37.000 Why is no one asking that question?

00:32:39.000 This makes the Swalwell China stuff seem like small potatoes in terms of leverage.

00:32:46.000 And we've spent so much money, and no one's asking if our decisions are being influenced by the unknown.

00:32:53.000 That's actually, from an intelligence perspective, the most critical question no one is talking about.

00:32:59.000 Leverage. Because the documented information that we know exists on Hunter Biden's laptop, plus the documents we found, or the government found, in Joe Biden's Six places so far?

00:33:09.000 And here's the cute thing. If you want to talk about government cheese, these guys are talking about sets of documents that were discovered for the last 20 years that Joe Biden's been hiding.

00:33:17.000 Do you know I've seen sets of documents?

00:33:18.000 One set could be a thousand pages of classified information.

00:33:22.000 Yeah, they make it seem like it's a one-page memo that he has classified.

00:33:25.000 Well, it was one set. A set could be the entire garage for all we know.

00:33:28.000 And that goes back to leverage.

00:33:30.000 And it's documents we now know from the Ukraine, from the CCP, from Russia.

00:33:34.000 All of these things are interconnected.

00:33:37.000 These leaders, like China and Russia and Ukraine, they do everything they can to go against their number one adversary, us.

00:33:44.000 Right now, they have documentation against the sitting—think about this—the sitting commander-in-chief to the United States of America has classified information he stole.

00:33:53.000 They use that to barter and gain an illegal deal.

00:33:56.000 Through their son. And these guys have so much more information on those two individuals who are basically running our country.

00:34:03.000 And you want to talk about leverage points?

00:34:05.000 You want to talk about an Intel pressure switch that's just waiting to ignite?

00:34:09.000 Here's the worst part, though.

00:34:11.000 China and Russia are not in it for the short game.

00:34:13.000 No. They'll delay. They'll wait.

00:34:15.000 They're not worrying about a two-year election cycle where they've got to promise stuff and give people free shit and basically buy a vote. 0.97

00:34:22.000 Even if they can't do it, they'll promise it, and then they'll fail the student loan thing, the insanity. 0.97

00:34:26.000 No, but that's what they're doing.

00:34:28.000 I wouldn't even say a 15-year game.

00:34:31.000 They're playing a 100-year game.

00:34:32.000 This is where we need to be in 100 years, and it doesn't matter what gets in the way.

00:34:35.000 I'm not saying that's right, but I'm saying... 0.96

00:34:38.000 You don't think they're taking advantage of Joe Biden and the idiocy and even our process? 0.94

00:34:44.000 And that's what I think Americans are finally starting to learn, because they're paying attention, is how our government actually works. 0.94

00:34:52.000 Let's talk about the money that they're sending over the Ukraine.

00:34:55.000 I'm not saying we shouldn't help other countries, but when we got 55,000 homeless veterans in this country, two dozen of which take their lives every day by suicide, maybe we should spend it on the people that defended this nation.

00:35:07.000 And the worst, I mean, I don't want to call it the worst part, But Ukraine is what I call the modern-day Afghanistan, and here's why. 1.00

00:35:14.000 There is no banking system in the Ukraine.

00:35:17.000 There is no way to monitor and track the dollars we send over there in the billions.

00:35:21.000 And it's siphoned off by whatever rogue officials and padded into Zelensky's foreign-seased bank accounts somewhere in Southeast Asia.

00:35:28.000 And we are just giving money away, and that's not even to mention the military equipment we've lit on fire by sending over there and depleting our resources.

00:35:36.000 Well, of course. And then you have Putin buying the stuff we left in Afghanistan, $86 billion worth, to use against us and our equipment.

00:35:42.000 Yeah, we're creating a billionaire oligarch class in Ukraine.

00:35:46.000 By the way, we're doing it here, too, because I imagine some of that money is coming back as a kickback to the big war machine in the United States, right?

00:35:52.000 All the generals are going to retire.

00:35:54.000 They've got to get on the board of Raytheon.

00:35:55.000 You don't do that unless you're selling missiles, so let's do that.

00:35:57.000 So, you know, I've had even Republicans come up to me, well, stop doing it because some of it's coming back.

00:36:01.000 I'm like, no! Like...

00:36:03.000 Fuckers, like, we watched big pharma get rich for two years. 1.00

00:36:08.000 Now it's like, well, big war, we're sitting on the sidelines that they've been watching, and they're like, it's our turn again, and we're just going to say okay. 1.00

00:36:15.000 So, I mean, some of it is coming back here.

00:36:18.000 But that doesn't mean it's right. Like, no one in America wants to be in the never-ending wars.

00:36:22.000 And as long as that money spigot is going, there's no incentive for Zelensky to get out of the table.

00:36:27.000 They know they're not going to target him.

00:36:29.000 You know, it's such a precarious position for him that he can go be on Hollywood award shows and zoom in to, like, these sorts of, like, every politician and actor in America has the Zelensky photo op.

00:36:40.000 Like, what are we talking about here?

00:36:42.000 It never ends. There's no endgame if we continue until we cut off the money and say, you guys better come to an agreement.

00:36:47.000 And it's like everything else, the money.

00:36:48.000 So when I was Chief of Staff at the Defense Department, my first call, my first five calls were the heads of Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and another big provider.

00:36:56.000 And I said, the Defense Industrial Complex provides great work for the American people that we need, but you guys are also the biggest wasters of money on planet Earth, and you're connected to the boondoggle in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill because of the kickback schemes and also the golden parachutes you guys have going out on a rotating basis.

00:37:13.000 Let me give you one example. We have service-to-air missiles, right?

00:37:16.000 They take a long time to build one battery system.

00:37:19.000 We sent seven years worth of SAMs to the Ukraine under the Biden administration.

00:37:23.000 That means if we spent the next seven years building, then we'd be back to zero.

00:37:27.000 That is tens of billions of dollars that we have shifted over there.

00:37:31.000 And they want to say... SAM is a surface-to-air missile.

00:37:33.000 So, like, the stuff we're using now or could be using to shoot other Chinese intrusions out of the sky, we won't be back to baseline for seven years if we started this instant. 0.99

00:37:42.000 Exactly. And the cute thing is, the Biden administration is like, no, no, we're just helping them with money and machinery.

00:37:49.000 Who operates this money and machinery?

00:37:50.000 Do you just give them an M1 Abrams tank and you're like, here are the keys, go ahead, drive it down Broadway in downtown Kiev?

00:37:57.000 Or who operates these batteries?

00:37:59.000 Who operates these sands?

00:38:01.000 American soldiers. And it's cute by a half.

00:38:03.000 You know who's on the ground right now?

00:38:05.000 American contractors who used to be soldiers, who have a job with the United States government so they can say there's no uniformed officers on the ground.

00:38:12.000 We are entering the Afghan phase of entry into the Ukraine, and we're going to be there unless this government stops.

00:38:16.000 And what could go wrong, folks?

00:38:18.000 Russia sits on 6,000-plus nuclear missiles.

00:38:20.000 You have a dictator, clearly, who many say is unwell, but who is also probably overseeing what I imagine most think is the great underperform of, like, modern military warfare.

00:38:32.000 Meaning everyone figured, hey, Russia will steamroll these guys, they'll be over in two weeks. 0.74

00:38:35.000 And everyone's realizing, wow, like, Russia's a paper tiger, but for the nukes. 0.89

00:38:39.000 But, like, you know, ground forces clearly not up to par.

00:38:42.000 They're doing that. A lot of that's because we're bolstering that aid and everything like that.

00:38:45.000 But, again, what's the worst that could happen when you have a lunatic egomaniac with 6,000 nukes saying, hey, we've been basically at war with the United States?

00:38:55.000 Not Ukraine. And that's the problem, and he knows that. 0.99

00:38:58.000 He knows that. Xi Jinping knows that.

00:38:59.000 They've partnered together. They've partnered with Iran, and they're saying America is lighting itself on fire, depleting of itself civil resources. 0.97

00:39:05.000 Here's another thing. They won't even take our phone calls.

00:39:08.000 Remember, we'll get to the balloon thing, but these leaders in Russia and China will not take the phone calls of our Secretary of State, our Secretary of Defense, our Joint Chief of Staff at the White House, or anything like that, like they did, like I was on during the Trump administration, because they have no respect For the Commander-in-Chief in our chain of command here.

00:39:26.000 And that, to me, is the biggest harm to American nationalism.

00:39:29.000 I don't blame them.

00:39:30.000 No. I look at our generals like Milley.

00:39:33.000 Like, hey, we're going to call and give you a heads up before we do anything.

00:39:35.000 Or, you know, I really want to understand white rage.

00:39:38.000 Like, I should have never even heard of before.

00:39:40.000 Like, he really wants to understand. I'm like, how about, like...

00:39:42.000 Like, understanding war. Like, we've been at war for 20 years.

00:39:45.000 Like, maybe figure out how to win one for a change.

00:39:47.000 Like, but they don't want that.

00:39:49.000 And, you know, you're going to take Blinken's phone call?

00:39:51.000 He got up there after the Afghan debacle and said to the world, like, I believe the exact quote was he was shocked and dismayed that the Taliban... 0.73

00:40:01.000 Remember this one? Did not install a more diverse and inclusive government.

00:40:07.000 Did they think they were going to have a trans coalition on the Taliban government that spent 20 years throwing homosexuals off of buildings? 0.93

00:40:13.000 I don't understand. 0.98

00:40:15.000 These are not serious people.

00:40:17.000 Like, why would you take their call at this point?

00:40:19.000 What's worse is that I think they're evil intended.

00:40:22.000 And let me give you two examples.

00:40:24.000 One, this DOD's first action in the Biden administration, what we call CONOPS, concepts of operations, how the DOD moves its machinery, you know, how to take on terrorism, how to get us out of Afghanistan.

00:40:33.000 Their first con-op in the Biden administration was on climate change.

00:40:38.000 The Department of Defense's first operational plan to move 3 million employees in the United States of America was on climate change and whether or not the sun would set tomorrow.

00:40:47.000 Why I say that sort of...

00:40:49.000 And white supremacy is the greatest threat to, like... 0.79

00:40:52.000 That was number two. I'm trying to figure... I met these people.

00:40:54.000 I hope I never knew. But, like, these are not a large faction.

00:40:57.000 I'm sure this stuff exists, but, like...

00:41:00.000 Tiny, tiny, tiny...

00:41:01.000 They don't have anything going after the African-American gentleman that mowed down a Christmas parade that was clearly saying racist stuff, because it's not racist if someone other than a white male Republican wearing a MAGA hat and an AR-15 does it, right? No, you're absolutely right.

00:41:18.000 Or you. Or me. We'll talk about that later.

00:41:21.000 But the second serious part of that tragic consequence of that, focusing on white rage in the climate, is you make the men and women in our intel community and military focus on that target.

00:41:34.000 And what happens? China and Russia come in while we're looking left, and we're spending billions in the Ukraine, and they come in and say, how can we get after our adversary's stupidity? 0.99

00:41:44.000 You know what you do? We'll fly aerial balloons over there. 0.99

00:41:47.000 By the way, one that doesn't get discovered until it's well into our airspace.

00:41:51.000 Others that make it all the way through.

00:41:52.000 And then when we do discover it, it takes six days to shoot it down.

00:41:56.000 Again, you've got to question, like, does China have something on Joe Biden?

00:41:59.000 Because they must be looking and, like, laughing their asses off.

00:42:02.000 No. And just go back to...

00:42:04.000 So talk about that. I mean, what's going through the process?

00:42:06.000 Like, how... Like, it feels like when they finally shot down that other balloon and then they start talking about shooting the other ones down, it's like he was bullied in it by Twitter.

00:42:15.000 Right? It's like, or truth, socially, people on social media were like, ah, do you think it's a great idea to allow them to continue to gather information?

00:42:23.000 Like, no, no, no. We're going to let them get through the spine. 0.99

00:42:26.000 Now, I'm sure they could do a lot of this stuff with satellites.

00:42:27.000 They're doing it with TikTok. 0.97

00:42:29.000 I'm sure they have much more sophisticated stuff than big fucking balloons. 0.95

00:42:32.000 But, like, it's the notion that it just goes unchallenged, and they're testing us to see just how far they can push it. 0.96

00:42:39.000 And the answer is really far.

00:42:40.000 No, they've already won.

00:42:42.000 They've won the actual intel collection game and the propaganda game.

00:42:45.000 Now look, let's just take the one balloon and we'll talk about the others later.

00:42:48.000 We have to look at it from an intelligence collection standpoint.

00:42:51.000 What's its payload? What's its movement?

00:42:53.000 Why didn't NORTHCOM, Northern Command, a combatant command that is responsible for the territorial safety of the United States of America, detect this thing when it was hitting the Aleutian Islands and Alaska?

00:43:04.000 And then why did it take seven days of intel collection that China was getting live feedback Because they were doing diversity and inclusion training.

00:43:11.000 No, but the answer is serious.

00:43:14.000 Like, I actually, I had this conversation with a bunch of my buddies that were, like, SEAL team guys. 0.95

00:43:18.000 And I'm like, they've told me, like, they spend more time doing that crap than they do shooting. 0.99

00:43:22.000 I'm like, I just wanted the SEALs to be able to go kill the bad guys. 0.99

00:43:24.000 Like, and I said that publicly in a speech. 0.98

00:43:27.000 And, like, the left, oh, my God, Don Jr.

00:43:29.000 thinks this is true. And a bunch of them were like, no, it is true.

00:43:31.000 Like, stop this shit. It's got to stop. 1.00

00:43:33.000 It's dangerous. But it's happening across the board.

00:43:36.000 And it's allowing for these weaknesses to be exacerbated and perpetuated.

00:43:41.000 Yeah, and let me give you an example.

00:43:42.000 So I've never talked about the intelligence framework and how we've set it up publicly, because I never had the opportunity to.

00:43:48.000 But during the Trump administration, you can only have so many Tier 1 targets, right?

00:43:52.000 And we had China, Russia, terrorism, Afghanistan, Iran, and maybe one other thing is Tier 1 targets.

00:43:58.000 That focuses your intel collection standpoint to go after those hard targets.

00:44:03.000 When you are collecting against them, you know what doesn't happen?

00:44:06.000 We don't get blown up here. 0.83

00:44:07.000 We kill terrorists overseas. You know what happens?

00:44:08.000 Donald Trump brings home 54 American hostages.

00:44:11.000 He winds us out of three never-ending wars without losing a single American civilian casualty.

00:44:15.000 But when you switch it off to white rage and the sunset and other biodiversity gender projects, I hate to make fun of it, these things happen.

00:44:25.000 Four aerial objects over the United States in one week span.

00:44:29.000 China laughing all the way home with the intel they got. 0.92

00:44:32.000 And by the way, no one has actually stepped down to connect with where this balloon was going over.

00:44:36.000 It was going over military installations of the United States.

00:44:39.000 Nuclear launch sites.

00:44:40.000 Nuclear launch sites and farmland that the government of China has been buying up in the United States of America since Biden took office.

00:44:47.000 This is not a snap-witted decision by the CCP. They connect the dots before they launch this thing.

00:44:54.000 And do you think this is the only balloon up in the air right now?

00:44:56.000 No, of course not. What about underwater? What about satellites?

00:44:58.000 What about Chinese spies that are literally still in America?

00:45:01.000 Why hasn't Joe Biden expelled every Chinese diplomat from the United States of America?

00:45:07.000 Like, they ended the program that Trump had under DOJ looking into Chinese espionage.

00:45:13.000 Because, like, this is Biden administration.

00:45:15.000 His DOJ ended it because it perpetuated, I guess, racist things against the Chinese.

00:45:20.000 I mean, if they're committing espionage, like...

00:45:23.000 This is their focus.

00:45:24.000 But remember when President Trump expelled the Russian diplomats, right?

00:45:28.000 That was an appropriate reaction.

00:45:30.000 Of course it was. To what Vladimir Putin was doing with us.

00:45:33.000 Now, Joe Biden has had that opportunity.

00:45:35.000 Not one person in the public, not one person in his cabinet has said, why don't we expel the Chinese diplomats here for that balloon stunt? 0.99

00:45:41.000 Not one. And when Milley went to call his counterpart after we detected the balloon, or I believe we detected earlier, they just lied to the American people about it.

00:45:49.000 That guy wouldn't even take his phone call.

00:45:51.000 He wouldn't take the phone call from the guy who said, I'll call China if we're going to attack them during the Trump administration.

00:45:57.000 This is how much respect they have for our military leadership, which is why we are in the hole we are in, and that is a loss for America.

00:46:04.000 Well, so, okay, like, obviously the balloon stuff seems like it's really real, but it also feels like it could be a distraction.

00:46:10.000 I think we're guilty of this on the conservative side.

00:46:11.000 We find the one thing that they're doing that's incompetent, and we pounce on it.

00:46:14.000 But, like, you read the Nord Stream 2 article, right?

00:46:17.000 There was that article by a journalist that basically was like, and of course we did it, like...

00:46:21.000 Of course. Just like, when was the Wuhan lab leak theory not the most plausible answer?

00:46:26.000 So, for those of you who didn't know, Nordstrom, the big pipeline, gas pipeline from Russia to Germany and all that stuff, was blown up while we were doing military exercises or shortly thereafter.

00:46:36.000 And, like, this happens.

00:46:37.000 We took out a Russian billion-dollar pipeline, I guess, just prior to their invasion of Ukraine.

00:46:42.000 And we're like, it was probably the Russians.

00:46:44.000 I'm like, why would the Russians... 1.00

00:46:45.000 Blow up their billion-dollar pipeline that would allow them to fuel their war. 0.63

00:46:49.000 But, like, the fact that we do it, it's so obviously us.

00:46:53.000 It's a precursor to this.

00:46:54.000 Like, is that not an act of war?

00:46:56.000 And, like, is some of the balloon stuff a distraction from the fact that this stuff came out this week and no one's talking about we took a preemptive strike against the largest nuclear power in the world who we're now in a proxy war with?

00:47:09.000 I'm like, feels like a really big freaking deal.

00:47:12.000 And yet... It's like, oh, yeah.

00:47:14.000 And again, it was always the most plausible solution, but, like, it happens, and we're like, oh, yeah, the Russians did it to themselves. 0.68

00:47:21.000 I'm like, the Russians shot themselves for, it cost themselves billions of dollars and or the stream of income. 0.99

00:47:27.000 They're not that dumb. It made no sense, and it never does, but, like, everyone, the media is doing us such a disservice that they just, they take the DNC talking points, they buy the administration talking points, they run with them, even if they make no sense whatsoever, and, like, we don't actually have any real information about a plausible act of war against the world's largest nuclear power.

00:47:48.000 No, so you're right.

00:47:50.000 And it's a terrible distraction, this whole 99 red love balloon thing.

00:47:54.000 We're not talking about Hunter Biden's laptop.

00:47:56.000 We're not talking about election rigging.

00:47:57.000 We're not talking about Joe Biden's failure across the board.

00:48:00.000 But worse off, our enemies are using it to gain more access into the United States of America.

00:48:06.000 And from a national security intel standpoint, let's go to Nord Stream, okay?

00:48:10.000 Remember, the Trump administration shut that pipeline down.

00:48:13.000 Yeah. Shut it down hard.

00:48:14.000 We sanctioned them so hard they didn't have the ability to finish it.

00:48:17.000 What did Biden do? Let's reverse the cloud.

00:48:20.000 Biden comes in and- I'm sure that's not done because of anything that they have holding over his head.

00:48:25.000 Right. I'm sure that- There's no leverage.

00:48:27.000 And if we had a real press, they'd ask that question, but no one's even asked.

00:48:30.000 I bet you Hunter Biden got an advisory contract on Nord Stream.

00:48:34.000 Wait till that document comes out.

00:48:36.000 But what I'm saying is, Joe Biden reversed course of the Trump administration policy, allowed Russia to finish the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and then allowed Russia to fund Germany's gas needs, and the rest of Western Europe, and an intel collection standpoint against United States interests.

00:48:51.000 Now it comes out that America probably blew it up.

00:48:54.000 And here's the thing. Do we have the capability to do that as a former chief of staff of DOD? Yeah, we can do that.

00:48:59.000 But the question is... 0.82

00:49:01.000 Joe Biden screwed up. 0.85

00:49:03.000 Then, like he always does, has the media try to cover for him and then insert some ridiculous national security program to go in there and upend the world order to put us on the brink of World War III. And nobody is talking about it because the media, as you said, doesn't want to hurt Joe Biden and the radical left-wing agenda.

00:49:21.000 Well, it also feels like the way they did it based on the article, it was like the way to circumvent Congress and, you know, this administration, right?

00:49:28.000 Trump was going to get us into World War III. Trump's the only guy that seemed to keep us out of it, right?

00:49:32.000 We're further along that path.

00:49:34.000 But also, this is going to be the administration of transparency.

00:49:37.000 But they seem to avoid being able to bring this to anyone in Congress.

00:49:40.000 Now, again, I understand that if they still had Adam Schiff and Swalwell on the Intel Committee, it would have leaked in seconds to get a nice hit piece on Republicans on CNN. But You know, how does that happen?

00:49:52.000 Because it feels like this is never-ending.

00:49:54.000 I mean, you were senior counsel to the House Intelligence Committee, right?

00:49:58.000 You were the guy, the architect of that memo.

00:50:00.000 How do we stop this stuff from happening again?

00:50:03.000 What did you do then? How did you get the information?

00:50:06.000 Like, go into detail.

00:50:08.000 How do the Republicans, how does Jim Jordan, How does James Comer, how do the guys now that have been tasked with doing this stuff, how do they get this information?

00:50:17.000 Because I know they'll try to slow roll it.

00:50:18.000 I know everyone's going to put up everything.

00:50:20.000 How do we make sure that the Republicans actually follow through on the task that they were given to by the American people, that they don't get stalled, that they don't get laid and mired in the bureaucracy?

00:50:32.000 How do we get that information?

00:50:33.000 How do we make it happen? How did you do it for Russia, Russia?

00:50:37.000 There's a couple of simple ways, and I write about it in my new book, Government Gangsters.

00:50:41.000 Sorry. No, listen. Check it out.

00:50:43.000 It's not out yet, but it's coming out.

00:50:44.000 But as Donald Trump called it, it's the blueprint for how we win back the White House and win back our agencies in government to work for the American people.

00:50:51.000 And how you do it is you have to actually hold these people, these government gangsters, as I call them, accountable.

00:50:57.000 What do you do? Okay, the same thing we did in Russiagate.

00:50:59.000 It's not rocket science. You don't have to be a lawyer or some fancy intel guy to figure this stuff out.

00:51:03.000 One- Follow the money, follow the money, follow the money.

00:51:05.000 What does that require? Subpoenas got to go out the door at these committees of weaponization of government and Comer's Oversight Committee yesterday against the people that we know, like the James Baker and Company that are outside of government and those that are inside of government, the FBI Election Security Task Force.

00:51:20.000 Subpoena every single one of those people yesterday.

00:51:24.000 Then, subpoena the banking records for every financial transaction between the FBI and Big Tech, between Twitter, between Facebook.

00:51:32.000 And I bet you, I've never said this publicly, I bet you there are dozens of contracts between the FBI and Big Tech for...

00:51:39.000 Billions of dollars. And or you retire from the FBI only to be hired by Twitter and Facebook seven seconds later.

00:51:46.000 Well, I mean, we all watched some of that testimony.

00:51:49.000 I mean, it seems clear. Like, A, they perjured themselves.

00:51:51.000 They lied before Congress. If I'd have done that in my 50 hours of testimony, I'd be in jail right now.

00:51:56.000 I mean, it never ends, but there was nothing there.

00:51:59.000 Here, there's real stuff.

00:52:02.000 I mean, how did you do it with, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia?

00:52:06.000 So you were like the chief guy looking for that.

00:52:08.000 You found out, and Devin, who you worked for, was the only man in America, including, frankly, the Republican side, who was actually the only guy 100% right about everything.

00:52:19.000 You got it. Now, he was discredited.

00:52:21.000 He was vilified.

00:52:22.000 He was called every name in the book.

00:52:24.000 Because again, we're not in a fair fight.

00:52:25.000 We're up against big tech and their trillion dollar platforms.

00:52:28.000 We're up against mainstream media, their trillion dollar platforms, and all of the Democrat causes.

00:52:32.000 We're not on the same footing.

00:52:34.000 How do we change that?

00:52:36.000 Because I think the American people are finally seeing it. 1.00

00:52:39.000 It's gone so insane that they can't help but be like, shit, like, okay, like, this is ridiculous. 1.00

00:52:44.000 We're not being told the truth. 1.00

00:52:46.000 But I can see a situation where Republicans go at it the way we always have.

00:52:52.000 Okay, well, we're doing the best we can.

00:52:54.000 Oh, shucks. And they just stall us to death.

00:52:56.000 They wait till someone else takes over.

00:52:58.000 They maybe win back the House.

00:52:59.000 They end it all.

00:53:00.000 And it's all for nothing.

00:53:02.000 Yeah, so let me unpack that.

00:53:04.000 I talked about issuing subpoenas for people.

00:53:06.000 Then you've got to issue subpoenas for the receipts, the documents.

00:53:09.000 Because what I learned in my time in government is that the people that did Russiagate, Comey, Clapper, McCabe, Strzok, all these people, these government gangsters, are so corrupt and so egotistical that they will write down their own wrongdoing because they'll think no one will ever catch us.

00:53:23.000 So you have to go get the FBI's documentation, the DOJ's documentation, the DOD's documentation.

00:53:28.000 So you've got to subpoena. Every single document on these committees, we have the authority to do so.

00:53:33.000 It's like Schiff with Twitter, where he's literally telling them, like, I mean, even Twitter was like, ah, it's a little too far. 0.98

00:53:38.000 Like, where left is fucking lunatics, but, like, that's a little bit far. 0.94

00:53:43.000 We're not going to censor other congressmen to that extent. 0.99

00:53:46.000 And yet... He can do it every day and get on TV and lie about it.

00:53:49.000 He can. And there's no consequence or ramifications.

00:53:52.000 And yet, again, what they did to Devin, they tried to drive him out of Congress.

00:53:56.000 He's not that guy, but they would have done anything to make that happen.

00:53:59.000 They made it hard for him to do his day job.

00:54:01.000 They made it hard for him to maintain a powerful position on a committee to be able to do that.

00:54:06.000 We're not playing the same game the other side is playing.

00:54:08.000 They're much more vicious. They're much more intelligent about it.

00:54:11.000 We're playing a game like we're pretending they're still...

00:54:14.000 Even pretending to be decent actors.

00:54:15.000 And I don't think... I think that shit has sailed. 0.99

00:54:17.000 There's not even a pretense of objectivity from the other side at this point. 0.99

00:54:20.000 So let's borrow the rules of the road and let's use the January 6th Unselect Committee.

00:54:23.000 I was the first person subpoenaed by the January 6th Unselect Committee.

00:54:27.000 Cost me $250,000 in legal fees.

00:54:29.000 Why do these subpoenas have to go out the door immediately?

00:54:31.000 Let's do to them what they did to us and our entire team.

00:54:34.000 Except the only difference is we were working for America and they're working against America.

00:54:37.000 So the subpoenas got to go out the door.

00:54:38.000 Then you start bringing in witnesses for these things called transcribed interviews.

00:54:42.000 And they don't have to be public right away.

00:54:44.000 You went through it. You sit in a closed room for 10 hours, for 20 hours, and you pepper them with questions.

00:54:49.000 Then you get the receipts, the subpoenaed documents that you have, and you give them to the American public.

00:54:53.000 And I know your next question. Well, these guys aren't going to give them over.

00:54:56.000 These government gangsters are going to hold these documents because it hides their corruption.

00:54:59.000 There is one way in Congress that you can get the documents from every single agency and department, and it's called this thing called fencing.

00:55:06.000 The Speaker of the House has to come in and give the authority to the chairs, Comer and Jordan, in this instance, to say, you as the chairman have the ability, now that the subpoenas are at the door, to fence pockets of money from the FBI, from DOJ, from DOD, from CIA. And I'm not saying take operational funds.

00:55:22.000 I'm saying, take the 10 grand, the 10 million for the pet project, the new building here, the armchair there, the 10 new escalades there, and you start, and those millions start adding up to 10 million.

00:55:33.000 They start adding up to 20 million. And you hold it.

00:55:36.000 We'll release the funds, and Congress has the ability to do this retroactively.

00:55:40.000 Even though it was last year's budget, this year they can hold it.

00:55:43.000 And I did it once in Russiagate because Paul Ryan was feckless and only allowed me to do it one time.

00:55:48.000 I mean, think about it. That's what we're working against, folks.

00:55:50.000 So you had this ability. 0.94

00:55:52.000 We could have discovered the Russia-Russia hoax before spending $50 million in U.S. government taxpayer funds, before dragging the country through three years of bullshit, preventing an agenda from We're good to go. 1.00

00:56:29.000 A feckless imbecile. 1.00

00:56:31.000 He wanted to be loved in D.C. His wife's a big lib, all this stuff. 1.00

00:56:35.000 He wanted to be invited to the cool person party.

00:56:37.000 And in D.C., what people don't know, you can be a Republican in D.C. and have a really easy existence if you're weak. 0.99

00:56:45.000 If you're a pathetic pussy, you can have a great existence there because they know that when they need you, you'll be there for the Democrats. 0.99

00:56:54.000 You can go back to wherever you are in the Midwest and have an R by your name and tell You'll get a board seat somewhere. 1.00

00:57:01.000 They'll love you because you're weak.

00:57:03.000 We can't allow that to happen because that's my thing.

00:57:06.000 They're going to try to run out the clock.

00:57:08.000 It's not going to be like us.

00:57:09.000 They're not going to be playing nice.

00:57:10.000 They will sit there and delay everything.

00:57:12.000 They'll have all the information.

00:57:14.000 We could have them dead to rights, but no one's ever going to see it if we don't take these measures.

00:57:20.000 And just imagine how much more we would know about Russiagate today if we had used this power before.

00:57:25.000 Let me finish the strategy.

00:57:28.000 If these committees fence the money, What we did back then was we fenced like four million dollars not even in government speak that's like 10 bucks yeah overnight 1 000 pages of fbi and doj documentation showed up to my office doorstep the next morning including the illegal fisa including the bruce or 302 including the bogus christopher steele information including the amounts of money they paid taxpayer money Two, the unlawful sources they used to gin up dirt on Donald Trump, paid for by the DNC. That happened overnight in one instance.

00:58:02.000 Look at the authority we have with this new speaker and this new team.

00:58:06.000 If we sent out just a hundred subpoenas and then used the fencing power on, say, ten of them, we would have enough ammunition to arm the American people with the truth.

00:58:16.000 And I'm not saying do a thousand things.

00:58:17.000 Yeah. Okay, I think that's important, right?

00:58:19.000 Because I think, you know, you want to go after the laptop.

00:58:22.000 You want to go after this. You want to China, Russia, this.

00:58:24.000 Like, what would be your, you know, even have, once you get out of sort of that, you have the border and the fentanyl crisis and all that.

00:58:31.000 What would be the two, three things that you would say, hey, there's...

00:58:36.000 This is where we expose the government corruption at the end of this.

00:58:39.000 It's probably a little bit under all of them, but what would be the big ones that we should be focusing on?

00:58:43.000 Because I think that's part of the other tactic.

00:58:44.000 There's so much out there you want to focus, but there's only so much time, only so much energy, only so much manpower to go after it.

00:58:51.000 If you're going after a thousand little things, you'll never get to that next level where you're like, oh, here.

00:58:57.000 Once you have that oh, here moment, I feel like That's when the floodgates open because you know it's probably the same for each of the thousand things, but you just got to get to one or two of those big ones to expose it all.

00:59:08.000 Yeah, so I got three for you.

00:59:10.000 So the first one is DOJ-FBI. We know the two-tier system of justice.

00:59:13.000 We've talked about it with whatever, Hunter Biden's laptop, Russiagate, rigging elections, etc.

00:59:18.000 FBI, DOJ, got to go after them hard.

00:59:20.000 Two, the border.

00:59:21.000 The border, the border, the border.

00:59:22.000 We know it's an invasion. We know Chinese fentanyl is pouring in through our streets, and we know Mayorkas is doing nothing about it because Biden has directed him to do so.

00:59:29.000 So let's do those two things.

00:59:31.000 The third one is Fauci and COVID. That's the third one, that we have to go after the vax mandates, the lack of intelligence, and the lying to the American people that cost millions of people their lives.

00:59:43.000 If we do those three things, just imagine if we do those three things somewhat well.

00:59:47.000 How much information and accountability we can have out there for the American public.

00:59:51.000 We could win back the middle that was lied to for the last seven years, and we could steer this country back on the course to having government work for the American people.

00:59:59.000 Yeah, listen, I think those are so good.

01:00:01.000 And again, for me, it's like, there's ones I take personally.

01:00:03.000 Like the Hunter Biden thing, I take it so personally.

01:00:05.000 But yeah, maybe it is.

01:00:06.000 Maybe it becomes, but there's so many.

01:00:09.000 It's so bad. And I do think, you know, I think, and I talk about this on the show a lot, I sort of say, like, you've got to sort of support the red state economy.

01:00:17.000 Like, the other side, you know, you see it, but people are finally waking up to it, right? 0.99

01:00:20.000 People, Disney stock is down because we're sick of getting this crap jammed down our throats. 0.99

01:00:25.000 Netflix, the same thing. But they all say, well, build your own if you don't like it. 0.99

01:00:29.000 Well, you do. And then Amazon Web Services throws you off their servers.

01:00:32.000 They don't make it that easy. I mean, you've been a big part of that with TrueSocial and just trying to combat that.

01:00:39.000 What are your thoughts on that?

01:00:41.000 Because I'd love not to live in sort of two separate Americas right now, but I don't think we have a choice.

01:00:46.000 I mean, the other side, you see it with the difference between the rioters of the 2020 Summer of Love, you know, all over the country, murder, mayhem, looting, arson, and you see January 6th people, half of it, you see people that were taking selfies that are in jail for two years for peacefully protesting, you know, something that, frankly, was pretty sketchy to begin with.

01:01:09.000 How do we, how do you reconcile some of that?

01:01:12.000 And I think the only way to do it is through those investigations we outlined, because they all fall under that.

01:01:17.000 When you talk DOJ, FBI, you encompass the January 6th folks.

01:01:20.000 When you talk COVID vaccine mandates and the farce that they perpetrated on the world, that's all Fauci and COVID. But the only way I've learned, in my opinion, that the American people care is not by having government officials or former government officials recite to them what they think happened.

01:01:35.000 Show them the documents.

01:01:37.000 Get out the proof like we did during Russiagate.

01:01:39.000 Don't listen to me. Don't listen to that chairman.

01:01:41.000 Don't listen to this high-ranking former official.

01:01:44.000 Look at this FBI memo.

01:01:45.000 Look at this DOD memo.

01:01:46.000 Look at Fauci's written word.

01:01:48.000 Look at him lying to the American people after he read an intelligence report one day and said the exact opposite thing the next day.

01:01:55.000 There is nothing, in my opinion, more powerful to redirect Americans to say, okay, we were lied to.

01:02:01.000 Because that's the hard part. Yeah.

01:02:02.000 Didn't James Comer, like today, said, well, it's not exactly what I said. 0.99

01:02:05.000 I'm like, no, bullshit. 51 Intel people told us that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinfo. 0.86

01:02:11.000 I'd be willing to bet that 100% of them knew that was not the case, but they had a result that they wanted to get to.

01:02:18.000 They knew they'd be getting positions back within government.

01:02:22.000 They knew they'd be getting a contributorship on CNN or MSDNC or one of the leftist, you know, just propaganda creation machines.

01:02:31.000 I bet you they all knew that that wasn't the case. 0.62

01:02:33.000 And I bet you all of those same people knew that Russia, Russia, Russia was bullshit from moment number one, or at least within the first few weeks of it, they knew it was there, but they stayed silent on that and did the opposite to protect Joe Biden and the Democrats. 0.90

01:02:47.000 And that's a great point. 0.90

01:02:48.000 So the other piece of this entire thing that we're talking about is the fake news mafia.

01:02:54.000 You bring up a great point. James Clapper today actually going after Politico.

01:02:59.000 Can you believe it?

01:03:01.000 Clapper, the guy who signed the letter, the former head of the CIA and director of national intelligence, along with former SecDefs and 50 other people, signed this memo, and the letter and the article were good for Two plus years, but now you have these former government gangsters going back and saying, Politico actually did us a disservice.

01:03:22.000 That is the perfect example for the American people to say an election was rigged, they were in on it, they got caught, and now they're blaming the media that helped put it up.

01:03:33.000 This is like their mea culpa.

01:03:34.000 They could have spoken up during this whole time, but it's like, because there's no consequence.

01:03:38.000 Again, they got, what people don't understand is it's not like, oh, well, we got him now.

01:03:41.000 It's like, no, no, no. They got what they wanted.

01:03:44.000 They were able to complete their objective.

01:03:46.000 It was always a lie, and that didn't matter.

01:03:48.000 They got what they wanted, and now they say, oh, my bad.

01:03:51.000 It was a little bit off, but it's two years later.

01:03:53.000 It doesn't really matter. We're not going to cry over spilled milk.

01:03:56.000 I got a consequence for you, though.

01:03:58.000 This is pretty cool, and I kind of just thought of it on the spot.

01:04:01.000 So all these people, Clapper, the former SEC devs, Leon Panetta, all these guys that signed this letter, you know how they make their money?

01:04:08.000 They still have an active security clearance.

01:04:10.000 They still have an active top-secret security clearance.

01:04:12.000 You know who gives it to them? The United States Congress.

01:04:14.000 You know what we can do? Take the money that sponsors their active security clearances and shut them down for lying to the American people and rigging a presidential and congressional election.

01:04:22.000 Okay, so that's another one we've got to bring to these guys.

01:04:25.000 Sorry to add another one.

01:04:27.000 No, listen, but listen.

01:04:29.000 I want them to be proactive.

01:04:31.000 But these are big jobs. I've got to get, you know, like, it's big jobs.

01:04:33.000 There's a lot of stuff going on. There's a lot of distractions.

01:04:35.000 There's a lot of, again, sort of, you know, shiny objects over here.

01:04:38.000 Don't focus on that. But, like, these are big ones, and I think we have to do that.

01:04:41.000 And I think, like, the people watching have to understand sort of the inside baseball.

01:04:45.000 And maybe that's what's sort of missing. 0.93

01:04:46.000 Everyone, like, you know, I got a lot of crap initially when I was, like, I was supporting Kevin McCarthy for speaker.

01:04:50.000 Like, I know I want this guy. 0.87

01:04:52.000 I'm like, but that guy has no chance of winning.

01:04:54.000 Right. If McCarthy didn't get 20 votes, that guy would have not gotten 90 votes from Republicans on the first ballot.

01:05:01.000 So what people don't always understand is sort of the difference between jockeying for TV time and Twitter likes and campaign fundraising emails with a hot take that is just not rooted in Anything based on fact or reality.

01:05:18.000 But these are big ones that I think we can bring to them.

01:05:21.000 I think we have to because that's how things are going to get done.

01:05:26.000 I've been really happy with what McCarthy's done so far and the people he's put on there and the ideas and the things that they're taking on.

01:05:32.000 But we've got to make sure that we follow through in the proper way.

01:05:36.000 He's responding to a lot of what happened because there was debate.

01:05:39.000 And I think that's important.

01:05:40.000 I knew a lot of that stuff he was going to do beforehand.

01:05:42.000 That's why I was supportive to begin with.

01:05:44.000 But we got to get it to that next level so that we actually get over the line and they

01:05:48.000 don't just stall us where everything's waiting in a box to be delivered and there's an election.

01:05:52.000 It's like, ah, just kidding. 0.99

01:05:53.000 We're not giving you crap. 0.98

01:05:54.000 And here's the thing. 0.99

01:05:55.000 They're playing that game.

01:05:57.000 And here's the thing even about our Republicans and the guys we like.

01:05:59.000 They are in an elected office for every two or six years.

01:06:02.000 So unless the constituents remind them on a daily basis that this one investigation is important about DOJ, or this one investigation about the border and COVID, or this one investigation about Fauci, unless they are reminded every single day by the Americans who ask you when you're on the road and you talk to the millions of Americans that you talk to, then they will not follow through because the bandwidth...

01:06:22.000 Look, I'm telling you from being on the inside during Russiagate and quarterbacking that thing.

01:06:27.000 Everybody had a million and one ideas when I was running this investigation.

01:06:29.000 Why aren't you doing this? What about calling this guy?

01:06:31.000 What about doing that? You just got to focus on a couple of lines of effort.

01:06:36.000 We went after the money and DOJ, the DNC, the FBI, and the media, and we won.

01:06:41.000 And that playbook can win again if we just use it on the right targets.

01:06:44.000 I think that's right. I mean, what we saw with the release of some of the Twitter files, we understand, like, hey, no one's pretending that we're in, like, a fair fight anymore.

01:06:52.000 So I think that was good. I think you see, you know, James Baker and the FBI and Twitter trying to actively suppress this.

01:06:58.000 I mean, you know, you see the connection, obviously, with Russia, Biden, Hunter, all of this stuff, all coming together.

01:07:05.000 But yeah, we've got to focus on those couple things so that we can get, you know, out there.

01:07:12.000 So give us a little bit, like, I think we want to, you know, there's so much here we could talk about that one for weeks, but give us a little bit, like, behind the scenes working in the Trump administration.

01:07:20.000 You know, what did you like about it?

01:07:22.000 What were the challenges? What was the, you know, the good, the bad, and the ugly?

01:07:26.000 Was there a story that sort of gives you, indicative of the insanity, you know, obviously within the confines of your, you know, classified...

01:07:34.000 Yeah, no, look, so working for President Trump, you know, some of the greatest jobs I'll ever have.

01:07:38.000 Chief of Staff at DOD, Deputy Director of Intel, and I also ran counterterrorism form at the White House.

01:07:42.000 And he said, look, on these lines of effort, let's do a couple of things.

01:07:46.000 Wipe out al-Qaeda senior leadership, kill the emirs of ISIS, bring home American hostages, end the forever wars, and protect America.

01:07:52.000 That's a pretty apolitical mission.

01:07:54.000 And we added meat to every one of those lines of effort by bringing home 54 American hostages, more than every president before him combined.

01:08:02.000 And we didn't brag about it, by killing Baghdadi, by killing Soleimani.

01:08:06.000 I was in the Situation Room when these calls were being made.

01:08:09.000 Wait, wait. Do you mean austere religious scholar?

01:08:12.000 So if you're with the Washington Post, he's not the leader of Al-Qaeda or ISIS or whatever it is.

01:08:17.000 He's an austere religious scholar because that's what we're up against.

01:08:21.000 You read those headlines and you're like, it must be a joke.

01:08:24.000 I feel like I'm waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out of a cake and be like, ah, you're being punked.

01:08:28.000 I'm just kidding. But they're serious.

01:08:30.000 But there is one story for me that encapsulated, and I've never told it publicly, about working for President Trump and why we were so motivated to put the mission first, as I write about in my book, Governing Gangsters.

01:08:41.000 We were giving the highest presidential honor we could give to a clandestine unit for an operation that we did to safeguard the world.

01:08:47.000 And we were down there at the unit headquarters, and President Trump's there.

01:08:51.000 And we had an American hostage being held or was captured somewhere in Africa.

01:08:56.000 And so I take the boss and I pull him aside and I say, sir, I know you're busy with this stuff, but it took me five minutes to explain it to him.

01:09:04.000 He assembled his team and he goes, so what's the ask?

01:09:06.000 And he goes, sir, we need your authority to retrieve this American hostage.

01:09:11.000 He goes, yeah, go after it.

01:09:13.000 What's the next target? And it wasn't funny or comical.

01:09:17.000 It was just methodical.

01:09:18.000 He was like, of course we protect Americans.

01:09:21.000 And you know what the awesome part is?

01:09:23.000 This raid happened. It was one of the fastest raids that ever occurred without loss of lice, the quickest retrieval.

01:09:29.000 And it happened because Donald Trump said to do it.

01:09:33.000 Even though Mark Esper, his Secretary of Defense at the time, tried to abort that mission, it happened because of his courageous leadership.

01:09:40.000 And he said, as the Commander-in-Chief, we are going unless there is threat to operational force of mission.

01:09:46.000 And when you talk to the guys, like you guys know, the SEAL guys and all these guys and our Special Forces operators and our brave warriors, you ask them, when you're downrange with them, You learn whether or not they can be in trouble.

01:09:57.000 And what President Trump understood more than anyone was never jeopardize U.S. soldiers' lives unnecessarily, but utilize them at every instance to safeguard America, whether it was killing terrorists or bringing home hostages.

01:10:11.000 And in that one moment, You should have seen the uproar in the room because we were just so motivated to get after it.

01:10:20.000 And that's the type of Commander-in-Chief he was.

01:10:22.000 We knew we could rely on him to put the American First mission out there, and we knew we could rely on him to carry the flack that the media was going to give him no matter what the victory was or wasn't.

01:10:34.000 And to me, the way he had me lead us out of Afghanistan was one of the honors of my life because We went out on a methodical fashion.

01:10:42.000 We flew 65,000 miles to every theater of war we had on the ground to ask the soldiers in Afghanistan specifically, should we stay or should we go?

01:10:50.000 And every single one of them said, it's time to leave, sir.

01:10:53.000 And we left and not one of them died because we did it.

01:10:57.000 Not for the headline.

01:10:58.000 They accelerated by two weeks.

01:11:00.000 They get it in the fighting season, not when they're in, like, the winter cave season.

01:11:04.000 And, like, of course they were going to take it back over that way.

01:11:07.000 But then we give them the biometric scanners and the...

01:11:10.000 I mean, what would you... Trump 24.

01:11:13.000 I love it. What would you do differently in these institutions?

01:11:17.000 Because again, I think one of the things that was great was coming in without any governmental experience, but I think that was also one of the things that they weaponized against you, because they could slow roll.

01:11:26.000 They put in someone, no, no, this guy would be great.

01:11:28.000 He's a real big Republican rhino.

01:11:29.000 You know what I mean? He's never going to do any of the things.

01:11:31.000 What would you do differently?

01:11:33.000 Perhaps both in government, and then if we broke it down, if you were in charge of the FBI, what reforms would you make there to...

01:11:41.000 Stop the politicization.

01:11:42.000 I see it from, like, the guys that are doing the door kickers.

01:11:45.000 They come up to me all the time.

01:11:46.000 Like, I see them, you know, I do a lot of shooting and all these things, and, like, there's a lot of overlap, and they're like, we're so embarrassed, it's disgusting, but we can't, like, we'll lose our jobs if we talk about this stuff.

01:11:54.000 Now, finally, there's some whistleblowers.

01:11:55.000 Again, we've got to get it over the line, because, of course, this was going on, but we've got to get it over the line, because otherwise it doesn't matter.

01:12:01.000 What would you do if you were in charge to prevent that from happening again?

01:12:05.000 You know, it's one thing, personnel.

01:12:08.000 And... But how do you figure that out?

01:12:10.000 Because that's what I don't...

01:12:11.000 In business, I always felt like you could find people's motivation because, you know, it's usually about money or you're trying to win or, you know, get a deal or get an asset.

01:12:19.000 Like, in politics, it's different.

01:12:21.000 It's like everyone's playing a game of, you know, if this administration's going to be gone, I've got to make sure to please the rhino that's going to be next in line so I get that name.

01:12:28.000 Everyone's... It's such an incestuous world that you think it's going to be right.

01:12:32.000 You think the guy that's giving you advice is going to be giving you real advice, but he's not.

01:12:36.000 I mean, it's all a setup for political capital to be cashed in later on.

01:12:40.000 I agree. No pun intended. I agree, and that's why we went after things like the defense industrial complex.

01:12:45.000 I mean, guys like Mark Esper leave to get their $10 million beta at Raytheon.

01:12:49.000 That stuff has to end. Like Donald Trump came out and said already, one policy thing was, if you're in government, you can't go work in private tech.

01:12:55.000 You can't go work in these big industries.

01:12:57.000 But how you get it right is, and look, when you all came in for the first time, I'd already been in government for, I think, 13 years.

01:13:02.000 Worked for multiple administrations.

01:13:04.000 You are right to entrust the senior leadership in government to do what?

01:13:07.000 Work for the American people, not weaponizing.

01:13:09.000 But they didn't. That's what's scary to me.

01:13:12.000 I was like, I still, you know, with all of the things, you know, when they went after General Flynn, when they went after some of these guys, some of the conversations, even with Devin, I was like, I don't know, like, the CIA is saying it's false.

01:13:21.000 Like, there's got to be some truth to it.

01:13:23.000 The FBI, like, there's no way there could be this much smoke without fire.

01:13:26.000 But the answer is yes, there can.

01:13:28.000 Yes, there is no limit to what they would do to lie to you to protect the power that

01:13:35.000 they have, you know, in all of these things.

01:13:38.000 Like, it's hard to fathom.

01:13:39.000 For me as an outsider, I was like, there's no way they could be this, basically, anti-American.

01:13:44.000 So the hard lift is done.

01:13:45.000 And yet they are. The hard lift is done, right?

01:13:47.000 We've proven, whether it's through Russiagate, or whether it's through Jan 6th, or Hunter Biden's laptop, we've proven these corrupt actors.

01:13:53.000 So now the hard lift of saying the director of the FBI was corrupt, the AG is corrupt, the DOD leadership is corrupt.

01:13:59.000 We now know that. We've seen that.

01:14:00.000 We can show the American people tangible, actual efforts to say, we've got to wipe these people out.

01:14:05.000 The other thing I learned is, okay, who's the bench?

01:14:07.000 Who do we bring in? And what I can tell you from my 16 years in government, that I promise you, whether it's the FBI or DOJ or DOD or CIA, that bench exists.

01:14:19.000 To put these people in positions of power.

01:14:21.000 And I don't just mean cabinet secretary.

01:14:23.000 This is where we went wrong a little bit.

01:14:24.000 If we get the top one person in, we're good.

01:14:27.000 No. Every undersecretary?

01:14:28.000 The top one doesn't matter. Everywhere along the chain, I heard that.

01:14:33.000 My father would give an order, get this done.

01:14:34.000 Okay, sure. Well, what happened with that?

01:14:35.000 Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

01:14:37.000 Two weeks goes by. And it just, it never ends.

01:14:39.000 You actually got to get the guys below on the team to make sure that happens.

01:14:43.000 No, so you're totally right. And the one thing we have to do is make sure we get the guys that are not on the team, America, out.

01:14:48.000 And that's what I did in my book, and that's probably why the government won't release my manuscript.

01:14:51.000 I named every government gangster by name that failed America in every single agency and department, so they are on a blacklist.

01:14:57.000 Okay, so that's government gangsters.

01:14:59.000 When's it coming out? When the government releases my book.

01:15:02.000 It's out for presale on governmentgangsters.com, and you can get a copy right now, but it's been three months and they still won't release my manuscript.

01:15:09.000 That just tells you how on point we are.

01:15:11.000 But what I'm proud of is the men and women I served with in the Trump administration in multiple agencies and departments.

01:15:18.000 I've worked with all those people all over the world, and they are ready to be the next deputies, the next undersecretaries.

01:15:23.000 So basically, I'm calling you and be like, hey, we need some personnel help.

01:15:26.000 If you do that, half of Congress is going to be really ticked off.

01:15:29.000 Hey, guess what? That's okay.

01:15:30.000 I don't care if 100% is really ticked off.

01:15:32.000 If we get it, and that was the point.

01:15:34.000 It was like, Trump didn't do this because he needed the money.

01:15:36.000 We're the ones that lost. I needed this like a hole in the fucking head. 1.00

01:15:40.000 But I actually believe in this stuff. 1.00

01:15:42.000 So once we were in the fight, it's like, I'm going to keep fighting.

01:15:44.000 It's why I'm doing this, because I don't believe the media is serving us well.

01:15:47.000 There's so few people, even those that play the hard ass, so few people are willing to actually take it where it needs to go.

01:15:56.000 You know, they always soften it down because they understand there's a consequence if you're a conservative.

01:16:00.000 You know, speaking of those, I mean, we talked about January 6th a little bit earlier, right?

01:16:03.000 We just, but we touched on it, but, you know...

01:16:06.000 Where did it all go wrong?

01:16:07.000 How is it that there are people that are still, you know, there?

01:16:10.000 You know, was there—I know you were in the room for some of this stuff.

01:16:13.000 I mean, was the reluctance by Pelosi's and others to actually protect the Capitol—was this a setup to allow something to happen?

01:16:21.000 You know, because I do feel like you can't have a conversation not saying that these people— Again, violent offenders aside, you know, if people did something, you know, truly violent, you know, I saw some of that, but like 10, 12 people, I don't know, maybe, you know, not a lot.

01:16:38.000 And I saw a lot of people walking in velvet robes, taking selfies, maybe, you know, that are in jail two years later.

01:16:43.000 What was wrong? How much of that was known or actually safeguarded against?

01:16:48.000 I think a lot of people have been vilified about this thing, and a lot of people are in jail two years later, and yet it seems like it was actually a setup.

01:16:55.000 Yeah, so I was Chief of Staff at DOD on January 6th.

01:16:58.000 Okay, so me and the SECDEF were responsible for that entire National Guard mission set.

01:17:02.000 And if you listen to nothing else I'm about to say, go read the January 6th committee's report on the Trump DOD's actions on January 6th.

01:17:11.000 So this is their report.

01:17:12.000 So this is a totally biased, partisan hack...

01:17:16.000 And they still said...

01:17:18.000 They still found that we acted without delay, without unnecessarily delaying anyone, authorized the National Guard appropriately, and secured the facility.

01:17:28.000 Now, if you go into the weeds of that, which is why the January 6th committee didn't want my transcript released, and it was the last one they released, We called over there and we said, look, the National Guard, in order for it to be lawfully deployed in America, one, you need a presidential authorization and a request from the local mayor or governor, right? Pelosi or Bowser.

01:17:48.000 Four days before January 6th, I'm in the Oval Office talking about a very sensitive operation with Donald Trump.

01:17:54.000 And he goes, by the way, if you need up to 20,000 National Guards men and women authorized, Roger that, sir.

01:17:59.000 We got the first leg of that law done.

01:18:01.000 Then we go to Pelosi and Bowser, and you know what they do?

01:18:03.000 In writing, they refuse.

01:18:05.000 So this goes to your point.

01:18:06.000 Why would they refuse National Guard enforcement assistance?

01:18:09.000 By the way, their State of the Union last week, and I watched them put up fencing.

01:18:13.000 You know, they won't. Put a fence up at our border.

01:18:15.000 That would actually stop fentanyl, sex trafficking, human trafficking, crime, murder, rape, everything.

01:18:22.000 But they put it around the Capitol.

01:18:24.000 Nothing there. And yet, there were, presumably, there were some people talking about, even if it was going to be a peaceful protest, like, hey, maybe you want to take some precautions.

01:18:32.000 But they knew about it, and they actively denied it.

01:18:35.000 They did that. They didn't have the Capitol Police there, and they didn't have uniformed FBI whose mission it is to secure the Capitol there.

01:18:40.000 They could have had all those things and the fence.

01:18:42.000 Now, let's fast forward. They were too busy worried about, you know, moms who don't want, you know, their children being indoctrinated, calling them domestic terrorists, I guess.

01:18:50.000 But it goes to your point about...

01:18:51.000 What were they thinking? 0.98

01:18:53.000 They're not stupid. Pelosi's not stupid. 1.00

01:18:55.000 Schumer's not stupid. They were thinking, okay, how do we maximize politically the next stage? 0.99

01:19:00.000 So go to January 6th.

01:19:01.000 Now, when we could have staged 10,000 National Guards men and women days in advance, and we didn't, Pelosi calls us.

01:19:08.000 We're in the Secretary of Defense's office.

01:19:10.000 And it's the middle of the incident on the Capitol Hill.

01:19:14.000 And she goes, excuse me, Mr.

01:19:15.000 Secretary, when are congressional food services going to be restored?

01:19:18.000 I'm not kidding. Not making that up.

01:19:21.000 So, it's the greatest threat to democracy ever!

01:19:24.000 And she's worried about congressional food services.

01:19:26.000 So, like, let's, you know, again, we saw a lot of acting and we saw a lot of crocodile tears and AOC was, you know, it was a threat to her life from a building far away and other, but...

01:19:36.000 Nancy Pelosi could get on TV and all these other leaders and talk about the greatest threat to democracy, and many said it was worse than 9-11 and worse than Pearl Harbor. 0.98

01:19:44.000 It was all bullshit, but that was her concern while it's going. 0.97

01:19:48.000 That was her statement. And mind you, we had already flown congressional leadership in military aircraft to a safe location, but we'll talk about that later. 0.98

01:19:54.000 So now we're like, ma'am, our priority is assisting law enforcement.

01:19:59.000 We are the National Guard. You do not want uniformed military officers.

01:20:02.000 Oh, by the way, it's illegal for us to deploy domestically.

01:20:05.000 And they finally gave us the authorization we needed to complete the second part of the law.

01:20:09.000 We had the fastest deployment of the United States National Guard to the District of Columbia since the Revolutionary

01:20:16.000 War.

01:20:16.000 And it was the largest cold start since World War II.

01:20:20.000 We kitted up, deployed and employed 15,000 National Guardsmen and women in less than three hours to safeguard the capital.

01:20:28.000 And then you talk about fencing.

01:20:29.000 That night I called DHS and other companies or other agencies and said, where's the no-climb fence?

01:20:33.000 We don't know. We don't have one.

01:20:34.000 I went out and bought one.

01:20:36.000 Put it up overnight with our brave National Guard men and women.

01:20:38.000 These are all things they could have done to secure the security of the Capitol, but they chose not to do it.

01:20:44.000 And that's the thing people need to take away from January 6th, especially when the January 6th committee tells you, we did it right under the Trump administration.

01:20:51.000 That tells you everything you need to know about their entire investigation.

01:20:55.000 But it doesn't matter. Because that's not...

01:20:57.000 No, but it doesn't matter.

01:20:59.000 Because in the eyes of the average American, they'll never hear that story.

01:21:01.000 Hopefully they'll watch this. Hopefully you share it with your friends.

01:21:04.000 But, like, they'll never hear that.

01:21:05.000 For two years they were berated with, it's an affront to democracy.

01:21:09.000 It's this, that, and the other. And it was all garbage. 1.00

01:21:11.000 Insurrection. Insurrection. I mean, it's like the dumbest, like... 0.99

01:21:14.000 First and only unarmed insurrection in the history of insurrections. 0.97

01:21:18.000 It's never been done before, but they want you to believe this stuff.

01:21:21.000 So I guess while we're talking about sort of the government lying to you, recently there's been the information that's come out about the CIA and the deep state being involved in both the removal of Nixon, the CIA's murder of JFK. What was your reaction to that?

01:21:40.000 As someone who knows sort of how the sausage is made, You know, and it seems, again, seems now, you know, 50 years later, obviously this stuff was happening, and obviously they were doing it, but like, now that it's out there and everyone's sort of pretending, like, how do the American, how should the American people look at this stuff, knowing that it's probably going on right now in Russiagate, and it's probably going on elsewhere?

01:22:03.000 What are the other ones that are out there that, you know, no one's really talking about that is probably being manipulated by these agencies?

01:22:09.000 Yeah, look, because of their past actions and recent actions, Russiagate onward, it's right to be skeptical of everything from, you know, what we talk about JFK, Nixon, and onwards.

01:22:18.000 But I think for me, you know, having worked on the actual JFK files, which I can't get into, but the Trump administration actually did do a declassification of a portion of it.

01:22:27.000 And from my standpoint, and I'm probably not going to be a fan favorite for this one, we put out everything that everyone needs to know.

01:22:32.000 Having read everything in there, it's already out there.

01:22:35.000 And so I think what we're doing now is chasing around shiny objects, and the left is out there saying they're talking about the JFK assassination instead of talking about whatever's important in the United States, right?

01:22:45.000 Yeah, we're on the brink of war.

01:22:46.000 But there's a balance. There's a balance.

01:22:48.000 I think the balance needs to be what should we question our government about.

01:22:51.000 And the things that we need to be questioning them about are things like election integrity, COVID, the border, and things that we talked about.

01:22:57.000 Not necessarily specific instances that happened 20, 30, 40 years ago.

01:23:02.000 The things that our modern electorate remembers that they were lied to about.

01:23:08.000 And that's how we change the mission going forward, in my opinion.

01:23:12.000 I don't think we need to get bogged down on certain deep dives of, you know, government.

01:23:17.000 I guess that is the distraction taking you away from Russia.

01:23:20.000 I hate to say it, but some of them are actually conspiracies.

01:23:23.000 A lot of them aren't. But some of them just are.

01:23:25.000 Well, listen, I'd say the conspiracy theorists are batting a lot better batting average than the experts in the media and all that.

01:23:32.000 Okay, so you mentioned a couple times election integrity, and I think that's obviously an important one.

01:23:36.000 But, you know, from what you know, from the intel side of stuff, being both in the House side, being in all...

01:23:42.000 How bad is it? Because, again, I don't know that there's not one system that's being utilized, and I don't think we should be falling for the ghost of Hugo Chavez came back to manipulate the Dominion machines.

01:23:53.000 That's the distraction.

01:23:56.000 But I do feel there is a lot of evidence and stuff going on on the ground.

01:24:00.000 It doesn't take a lot of people, and they don't have to necessarily be synced with anything to change these things.

01:24:05.000 I do find a lot of coincidence that seems to only break to the benefit of one side.

01:24:10.000 What are your thoughts on that?

01:24:11.000 So I think one of the biggest lessons people learned from the last two election cycles is how American Constitutional Republic actually works.

01:24:19.000 It is not for the federal government to go out there and dictate how elections are supposed to be run.

01:24:24.000 That is a statewide matter.

01:24:26.000 And people have learned the importance of state secretaries of state and state AGs and state gubernatorial positions.

01:24:31.000 That's great. Where we failed in some of those states, like Arizona and Nevada and others, was to get people elected to those positions to change the rules To secure elections.

01:24:41.000 So I think that's step one. Step two is, look, this is another thing that I say when I go out on the road and speak.

01:24:45.000 They're like, how do we make it so we win the next election cycle?

01:24:48.000 You want to know how we do it?

01:24:49.000 Go big on election ballot harvesting.

01:24:51.000 I don't really like it, but listen, that's the rule of the land.

01:24:55.000 This has been like a tenet of this show from episode one.

01:24:58.000 I go, guys, I'm going to get criticized for this.

01:25:03.000 At this point, the candidate almost doesn't matter, right?

01:25:06.000 John Fetterman, who's basically one step short of a vegetable, you know, maybe he's one step ahead of the average, I don't even, like, got elected a senator in Pennsylvania.

01:25:16.000 I imagine the average person that voted for him in Philadelphia or Allegheny County or Pittsburgh, like, probably couldn't tell you who's actually on there, but they handed someone a ballot who filled it in for the guy that was going to just rubber stamp whatever Chuck Schumer wanted.

01:25:30.000 I can't imagine any informed voter watching that debate and watching a guy not be able to form a complete sentence.

01:25:37.000 Now there's news this week.

01:25:38.000 He comes out, well, he may have suffered permanent brain damage from campaigning too hard.

01:25:42.000 He didn't have to campaign hard. He didn't do anything.

01:25:44.000 He didn't do anything. But, like, we all knew it was a problem, but the Democrats didn't find a problem with this.

01:25:49.000 They were, no, no, no, he's right. They could have had a Conor Lamb.

01:25:51.000 They could have had someone that at least had the basics of cognitive function, and it didn't matter.

01:25:56.000 They wanted this guy, and they still got him in there.

01:25:58.000 If that isn't the first and foremost step to, like, hey, how do you win a national election?

01:26:03.000 No one's paying attention. So you're right.

01:26:04.000 We have to be playing that game.

01:26:06.000 Now, what people don't understand, well, why didn't you fix it while you were president?

01:26:09.000 It's a state's issue.

01:26:10.000 Like, that's what people have to all...

01:26:11.000 Also understand how the sausage is made.

01:26:13.000 That's why I think you being on here is so important.

01:26:16.000 Like, they used to do that to me with, well, you know, Hearing Protection Act for, like, suppressors and stuff.

01:26:19.000 I was like, yeah, get Congress to vote on it.

01:26:21.000 You're not going to do that with a weakling like Paul Ryan.

01:26:23.000 Like, why didn't you get the border wall built earlier?

01:26:25.000 Because Paul Ryan wouldn't bring it to Congress.

01:26:27.000 We had all three houses.

01:26:29.000 We could have done it, but he wanted to be loved, not vilified in D.C. So he didn't do it.

01:26:35.000 the president can't unilaterally just do this. And so people have to understand how that works. So

01:26:41.000 to win, we actually have to play by the rules that were created and weaponized during COVID,

01:26:46.000 you know, with state legislators and governors on the Democrat side. So to actually be able to

01:26:52.000 effectuate change that makes sense, we have to play the game the way they are playing it. Then

01:26:57.000 we can change the rules to make it fair. I mean, we have socialists in Europe that are like, I can't

01:27:02.000 You have a two-month-long election day, and there's no ballot ID, and they just send random shit, and then they'll get on TV. It was the safest and most secure election ever. 0.96

01:27:10.000 Why? There's not one shred of evidence to say that it's the safest and most secure, other than they said that, and the media ran with the talking points, so they point to countless examples of someone saying it without actually any evidence behind it.

01:27:24.000 So that's a huge aspect of what we need to be doing.

01:27:26.000 No, you're totally right. So when we go on the road, and we'll be on the road with Donald Trump and you and me and so many others, and we'll take on those questions, and the more we get that message through to our base, to our leadership structure, to say, you may not like it, and we don't like, of course we don't like ballot harvesting, but what I don't like, what I like less is losing.

01:27:46.000 What I like less is not being in power.

01:27:48.000 Listen, it's like cancel culture.

01:27:49.000 Right? I'd love for there not to be cancel culture.

01:27:52.000 I'd love for it to not exist.

01:27:54.000 I'd love to be able to go, you know, and give my money to a company that I like that, you know, and not have them weaponize it against everything that I believe.

01:28:02.000 But that doesn't exist right now.

01:28:03.000 We have been playing that game.

01:28:05.000 We have been turning the other cheek to a side that would put us in jail.

01:28:09.000 They literally put you in the gulags.

01:28:12.000 You, me, like...

01:28:14.000 And so many of the people watching this show, we've got to stop enabling that by not supporting it.

01:28:20.000 We've got to vote with our wallets.

01:28:22.000 We have to take the time to find those companies.

01:28:24.000 We have to do that. And when we do that, maybe we can one day get to a point where we're just back to normal.

01:28:30.000 But the other side has made a career and a very successful job of weaponizing every institution out there against us.

01:28:38.000 And they've laughed their asses off as we've pretended like it's not a problem.

01:28:42.000 And, like, we can't play that game if we want an existence, if we want a future for conservative values, for American freedom, American exceptionalism, our belief systems, because it's all on the table for the other side.

01:28:54.000 And, like, if we don't think that's the case, then you haven't been watching for the last six years.

01:28:58.000 And conservatives got to understand that you can't go out there and find 75 million people that are going to agree with every single position you take.

01:29:07.000 We do that also. 99% will blow it because they'll take a 51% win and run and they live to fight another day and they claw back the next day.

01:29:16.000 It's death by a thousand cuts.

01:29:17.000 We sit there, we take some principled position on something that makes no sense.

01:29:20.000 We blow a huge win for something that doesn't even mean anything to most people and we get nothing for it.

01:29:27.000 And that's maybe the greatest takeaway of the night is whatever you learned here tonight or whatever we've talked about, if you can take the top priorities of how do we safeguard our border, how do we take on China, Russia, Iran, how do we make it so drugs aren't pouring into our streets, how do we safeguard our communities and make sure education is what it should be and not CRT and things like that.

01:29:46.000 If we can agree on those fundamental things, we are going to win.

01:29:49.000 We're not going to win by a little.

01:29:50.000 We're going to win by a lot. We're actually winning the cultural war.

01:29:52.000 Right. In my opinion, for the first, like, people, like, reasonable people are looking at what's going on, whether it's censorship, whether it's, you know, the trans insanity, and they're being like, okay, like, we've gone, we're actually for the first time winning it, you know, abortion at 10 months, wonderful, what could go wrong? 0.99

01:30:06.000 I mean, these people are nuts and Finally, the pendulum has overcorrected so far that the American people are seeing it.

01:30:12.000 But we have to also be able to act and capitalize on that insanity because we're working against a lot. 0.98

01:30:17.000 We're working against, again, a trillion-dollar industry like big tech who's going to censor the insanity of the other side.

01:30:22.000 They're going to massage it. They're going to attack a guy like you. 0.97

01:30:24.000 They're going to attack a guy like me.

01:30:26.000 They're going to attack a guy like Devin.

01:30:27.000 They're going to make sure that the truth never really gets out or that it's the...

01:30:31.000 WikiLeaks, whitewashed, like, pretend version of what happened.

01:30:33.000 But that's what all information is based on.

01:30:35.000 Google has weaponized that to things.

01:30:37.000 Big tech has done it across the board.

01:30:39.000 So we've got to be playing that game.

01:30:40.000 No, and sort of the last component of all this, and you get asked this probably more than I do, what can I do?

01:30:46.000 What can I do, John Q. Voter?

01:30:48.000 What can I do? You know what you can do?

01:30:49.000 Pick one or two issues.

01:30:50.000 Education, border, drug, whatever.

01:30:52.000 Kitchen take on economics.

01:30:54.000 Run for your school board.

01:30:55.000 And just get out there and build a platform.

01:30:57.000 Get on Truth Social. I had no social media till my former boss and former former boss found in Truth Social and made me join the board.

01:31:04.000 And now I have a million followers.

01:31:06.000 But it's not because of me being me.

01:31:08.000 It's the substance of what I'm saying.

01:31:10.000 And I'm going to do one little shameless plug for my passion project if I can.

01:31:15.000 It's the most important thing, and it relates directly to what you can do as one person.

01:31:18.000 It's called Fight With Cash.

01:31:20.000 FightWithCash.com with a K is an actual charity.

01:31:22.000 We stood up because we said, what can we do to help others with what we've been able to do for ourselves?

01:31:28.000 And we raise money for active duty soldiers.

01:31:30.000 We funded whistleblower campaigns.

01:31:32.000 We funded legal defense funds.

01:31:34.000 And we have a whole bunch of merch on there. 1.00

01:31:36.000 And people are like, oh, you're making money.

01:31:38.000 We don't take a dime in profit.

01:31:39.000 We put it back out the door. We gave away 100 grand last year.

01:31:42.000 We're going to give away a million dollars this year.

01:31:44.000 And by the way, if he's lying, you know the left will finally come after me.

01:31:47.000 If one cent slips, you'll be in the gulags for the rest of your life.

01:31:51.000 So we know that that's true.

01:31:53.000 We have a special for being on the Don Jr.

01:31:57.000 show, and I'm so humbled that you had me on.

01:31:59.000 We have our Orange Man Bad lineup, and we have an Orange Man Bad hoodie and beanie that we put on sale just tonight at fightwithcash.com, and all of the proceeds, like anything else on there, will go to help the education of Of our country and our youth and helping active duty service members.

01:32:16.000 It's the biggest thing I'm a part of that I love.

01:32:18.000 So listen to nothing else I've said.

01:32:20.000 Come be a part of the team.

01:32:22.000 And more importantly, if you know someone in need in your community, send me a message.

01:32:26.000 And if they qualify, we will cut them a check to help out Jan6 families and everything else at fightwithcash.com with a K. I love that, guys. 0.96

01:32:35.000 Cash, thank you so much. Guys, also check out his book, Government Gangsters.

01:32:38.000 If the government gangsters ever let the book, hopefully it'll be a window into what's really going on.

01:32:43.000 I want to also, again, thank our sponsors.

01:32:46.000 Go to GoldCo, check out DonJrGold.com.

01:32:50.000 If you're looking to diversify your portfolio, this is a company that would sponsor a show like this.

01:32:55.000 That takes guts. It's not easy.

01:32:57.000 Support them. If you need a refund, if you have W-2 employees and you're a small business, visit MaxRefund.com slash DonJr, D-O-N-J-R, to qualify to get money back again.

01:33:11.000 I think you do a much better job with your money in your small business or otherwise than any of the clowns in big government.

01:33:18.000 So check them out, but do it through that URL so people see that you're getting it from here.

01:33:22.000 It'll allow those guys and...

01:33:24.000 Let those guys know to sponsor more of this kind of content, you know, rather than the milk toast stuff that you'll get elsewhere.

01:33:31.000 So that's a really critical part of it.

01:33:33.000 Thank you guys so much for tuning in.

01:33:35.000 I really appreciate it. We'll be back on Thursday, same time.

01:33:39.000 We'll have a lot more fun to talk about.

01:33:41.000 I want to really thank you guys for the support.

01:33:43.000 It means the world to us. Cash, you've been awesome.

01:33:45.000 Thank you, buddy. Great seeing you again.

01:33:46.000 And guys, for those of you who are on Locals, I'll be doing a couple minutes taking live questions on the Locals platform.

01:33:55.000 For those of you who subscribe to Rumble and their Locals platform, check it out.

01:33:59.000 I'll do my usual Q&A after here.

01:34:01.000 I'll let Cash get out of here, but I'll switch over there and be on there in a few minutes.

01:34:05.000 And we'll see you there.

01:34:06.000 And hopefully I can answer any of your questions sort of live stream and direct with you guys.

01:34:09.000 If you haven't checked it out already, do so.
