Transcript

00:00:00.000 Like, for example, the Waltz situation, National Security Council.
00:00:03.600 How did that happen when all of a sudden you're like, I think you got people on the inside that are on one.
00:00:07.920 Then the picture shows up, signal, he's texting others, messaging others.
00:00:12.120 How did that happen?
00:00:13.880 Well, obviously, you know, that was a huge blunder by Michael Waltz.
00:00:17.320 And then when the reporter started publishing the images of the signal chats, I saw that Alex Wong, who was his deputy, was the creator of the chat.
00:00:28.540 And so I started doing some digging into Alex Wong and quickly discovered things that were massive red flags.
00:00:35.580 I mean, he has family connections to the CCP.
00:00:39.540 His, you know, his father-in-law, who has since passed away, was tied to AsiaSat, which was, you know, the largest satellite company in Asia that controls all the satellites for the Chinese military, right?
00:00:52.160 The Chinese Communist Party's military, People's Liberation Army.
00:00:56.100 You had his wife who was involved in persecuting and prosecuting J-6ers under the Biden administration.
00:01:03.460 And ultimately, my investigation landed on the desk of Donald Trump.
00:01:07.980 And then I got a phone call one day from President Trump after he had an Oval Office meeting with Michael Waltz about SignalGate.
00:01:16.420 And he asked me if I would come to Washington, D.C. to to brief him on these matters.
00:01:21.500 And so I brought a list of names with me to the White House, and I had an Oval Office meeting with President Trump, and I brought a packet, as the media reported.
00:01:30.420 And I was in the room, and there were multiple people there, Susie Wiles, Sergio Gore, a couple congressmen, you know, a few people.
00:01:37.180 And eventually, Michael Waltz himself walked into the room.
00:01:41.200 And, I mean, everybody knows what happened next.
00:01:43.680 You got the NSA director fired.
00:01:45.560 What was his reaction?
00:01:46.420 Is he trying to plead that that's not true, this is not what I did, or is it kind of like he got caught?
00:01:50.580 Yeah, I mean, you know, like Michael Waltz used to text me.
00:01:53.340 He used to talk to me.
00:01:55.640 Not anymore.
00:01:56.440 So he didn't even want to look at me when I was in the room because he knew I was there.
00:02:01.040 And he kept on saying, oh, you know, I did the vetting, I did the vetting, I did the vetting.
00:02:05.180 Well, obviously, he didn't do vetting, right?
00:02:07.560 How do you?
00:02:08.160 My problem is, is like, who's doing the vetting, right?
00:02:10.720 No one's really doing the vetting, and this is the problem.
00:02:12.700 And so this is what has happened since the beginning of the administration.
00:02:16.240 There's a vetting crisis.
00:02:17.480 We saw this during the first term, and now we've even seen it on steroids in the second term,
00:02:22.020 where people in key intel roles, national security roles, people who are supposed to be in the intel agencies
00:02:28.300 and the Department of Defense and these key roles protecting the president,
00:02:32.120 all of these positions that we saw weaponized by Obama and Joe Biden to attack Donald Trump,
00:02:37.320 they haven't cleaned house.
00:02:39.680 And so, obviously, President Trump, I mean, I don't want to disclose the contents of a private meeting with the president,
00:02:45.320 but he was pissed off.
00:02:46.260 He was very pissed off.
00:02:47.540 And he instructed people to be fired after that meeting.
00:02:51.060 And then it was Liberation Day, of course, the day that I had my meeting,
00:02:55.000 and the president was in a rush because he had to finalize his speech before announcing the tariffs on the lawn of the White House.
00:03:02.540 And so it was quick.
00:03:03.680 But obviously, the next day, a lot of people were fired.
00:03:06.160 Were you there when he fired Waltz?
00:03:07.520 Like, did he tell – when Waltz walked into the room, was it like, you're done?
00:03:11.340 Was it –
00:03:11.860 No, because they gave him some time.
00:03:13.200 And Waltz technically wasn't really fired.
00:03:15.320 This is the thing with the current administration is –
00:03:18.600 I think – and I don't know if this is a new strategy that they've employed since the first term
00:03:22.240 because they've hired so many people in such, you know, untraditional ways, rapid ways.
00:03:27.180 And I remember J.D. Vance is like, no, it's not really fired.
00:03:29.520 We actually – some would say he got a bigger job.
00:03:31.440 Yeah, they –
00:03:31.940 I don't know what the position he got.
00:03:33.140 They're not firing anybody.
00:03:33.700 So they say that they fire people.
00:03:35.700 But even the 100 people who they fired from the NSC after all of this, they just rotate them.
00:03:41.500 They recycle them to other positions in the administration.
00:03:44.280 I don't want to speak for the administration because I don't work for them despite what the media says.
00:03:49.280 But honestly, if I were to take a guess, it's probably because they don't want to have people blowing up the admin like they saw during the first term
00:03:55.280 where you had people go run to the media and do tell-all books and write podcasts and defect and join the Democrat Party.
00:04:02.180 I mean it was a very dramatic first term, right?
00:04:04.420 Every single week somebody was getting fired and somebody was writing a tell-all book or going on The View or going on Rachel Maddow or, you know, doing something.
00:04:11.720 Like they don't want to have a bunch of mini John Boltons running around lambasting the president and writing tell-all books.
00:04:18.160 So maybe it's a strategy.
00:04:20.540 Maybe it's a strategy by, you know, by the White House, by Susie Wiles to keep people contained, which is somewhat smart.
00:04:27.500 But also, you know, in the real world, not everybody gets a prize.
00:04:31.700 So it's like I thought that we were getting rid of DEI in this administration.
00:04:34.940 Are we really getting rid of DEI in the Trump administration if people get to completely screw up and keep their jobs or keep other positions?
00:04:41.880 A different form of DEI.
00:04:42.780 It's like a different form of DEI you could make the argument.
00:04:45.460 So I think that I would prefer if we could revert back to the old Donald Trump where he used to say you're fired and that's it, you're fired, that's it, you're gone, bye.
00:04:54.140 But I don't know.
00:04:54.960 I just, I'm not really a fan.
00:04:55.880 When you left the room that day, did you know that Waltz was going to get fired or you didn't know until the announcement was made next day?
00:05:01.000 I mean you could really honestly cut the tension in the room with a knife.
00:05:04.340 I think that the writing was on the wall.
00:05:07.420 Was he speaking to Waltz?
00:05:09.360 Was it a 30-minute meeting, 2-minute meeting, 45-minute meeting?
00:05:12.440 How long was that meeting with you and Waltz in the room?
00:05:14.280 It was supposed to be an hour-long meeting and then the meeting prior to my meeting with some senators ended up running over.
00:05:22.660 And so it was about 30 minutes and Michael Waltz walked in because he got word that I was in the Oval Office.
00:05:30.240 Oh, he got word, so he just walked in.
00:05:31.860 Yeah, so he just like interrupted the meeting.
00:05:33.580 He crashed the meeting actually.
00:05:35.060 So it was a private meeting and he actually crashed the meeting and walked in and started trying to make his case.
00:05:40.260 Was he emotional?
00:05:41.100 Was he just under control?
00:05:42.780 He was emotional.
00:05:44.340 Got it.
00:05:44.840 I can see that.
00:05:45.860 How could you listen to her?
00:05:46.940 Why would you believe her?
00:05:47.900 Who is she?
00:05:48.620 Do you realize who I am?
00:05:49.620 I would never do that to you.
00:05:51.100 That kind of a vibe or no?
00:05:52.520 I mean more like, oh, you know, actually, you know, I have it handled.
00:05:55.720 It's not like you think.
00:05:56.680 Oh, there's more to the story.
00:05:58.220 He didn't really, he didn't attack me.
00:05:59.940 Like I said, he didn't even speak to me when he saw me in the meeting.
00:06:02.740 He wouldn't even make eye contact with me.
00:06:04.760 But you could tell he was definitely heated.
00:06:07.100 OK, so while you're in there and this whole.
00:06:11.020 And he interrupted the meeting right as I was about to show President Trump a video.
00:06:15.400 I was about to show President Trump a video to be like, well, you know, the reason why Michael Waltz might not, you know, have such strict standards for vetting.
00:06:22.640 He says he did those vetting.
00:06:24.100 I don't believe him.
00:06:24.960 He claims he vetted these people.
00:06:26.540 Obviously not.
00:06:27.360 Right.
00:06:27.580 Because if he vetted them, I wouldn't have been able to uncover all this stuff.
00:06:30.080 That being said, I was going to make the case that maybe the reason why Michael Waltz.
00:06:35.900 Doesn't really think that being a Trump haters grounds for termination is because Michael Waltz himself was a Trump hater.
00:06:42.720 And I was about to.
00:06:44.140 It's kind of weird.
00:06:45.060 Michael Waltz walked into the Oval Office.
00:06:47.220 I was pulling out my cell phone to show Trump a video of Michael Waltz on, you know, an ad that he filmed in 2016 saying that Donald Trump was against veterans and that, you know, as a veteran, he thought that Donald Trump was a disgrace.
00:07:02.280 And I was about to play the ad for the president in the Oval Office.
00:07:05.400 And then that's when he walked in.
00:07:06.960 So he never saw it.
00:07:08.160 Oh, he saw it.
00:07:08.960 OK.
