Peasants Perspective
When Authority Lies: From Food Pyramids to Vaccine Narratives
What happens when we blindly follow without questioning? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the psychology of obedience using the powerful metaphor of goats endlessly circling a fire long after their shepherd has departed. This image perfectly captures how we often continue following established patterns without purpose or understanding.
Throughout history, those who questioned authority have been branded troublemakers, yet time repeatedly vindicates them. We explore concrete examples where following the experts led society astray—from the now-debunked food pyramid that contributed to widespread obesity to vaccination narratives that suppress discussion of contrary evidence. Did you know the Amish community, largely unvaccinated, shows remarkably lower rates of conditions like autism and autoimmune disorders? Or that polio cases were already declining significantly before the vaccine was introduced?
We examine how power structures maintain control through manipulated statistics and crafted narratives. Government agencies regularly adjust crime rates, inflation numbers, and other metrics to paint a preferred picture rather than reflect reality. Meanwhile, the landscape of information distribution undergoes a revolution as independent media challenges mainstream narratives with increasing effectiveness.
The conversation moves beyond theory to practical examples, including detailed analysis of the Trump-Russia investigation that revealed how intelligence agencies weaponized government power while fabricating evidence to maintain their narrative. The ongoing accountability for these actions demonstrates the consequences of blind obedience within institutions.
Breaking free from herd mentality isn't easy—it requires courage to step outside the circle and question what everyone else accepts. But this independence of thought is exactly what makes true freedom possible. By examining multiple perspectives and reaching your own conclusions, you reclaim power over your beliefs and choices.
Join us for this eye-opening discussion that will forever change how you perceive authority, expertise, and your own capacity for independent thought. The revolution begins when we stop circling the fire.

I was tax evaded.
Speaker 2:And when they went to the queen to tell her Ruth Dubjik had no bread. Do you know what she said? Let them eat cake. Here you take the bomb. We're getting screwed man.
Speaker 6:Every time we turn around we're getting screwed. Here's a minute. Hold the red again.
Speaker 2:And when they went to the queen To tell her Ruth Bunchick had no bread, do you know what she said? Let them eat cake here. You take the bomb.
Speaker 6:We're getting screwed, man. Every time we turn around, we're getting screwed. Cheers again oh, the revolution's gonna be through podcasting for sure. That's the only way we talk. It's the little guys. The little guys that take the brunt of everything. It's got to stop. Peasants, man, we're just peasants, every one of us. You watch those old movies. You see the peasants in the background with the kings and queens walking around. We're those people. We're those people. Good morning peasants. Welcome to another episode of the peasants perspective. Does that sound weird? Is that me, is it? No, I know what?
Speaker 9:no, no, my microphone swung over I know what it is?
Speaker 6:ah, you're doubled up. I got that. Know what it is? Ah, you doubled up. I got that thing plugged into power. I got a new microphone a couple days ago. I don't know if you got to notice it's white. It kind of matches my personality. I took Ron's white chair, commandeered it, commandeered it. I need that white chair. I remember when I was getting stuff for the podcast studio last time around and we were buying chairs and I bought these white swivel chairs and Chris at the time was working with me and he's like man, those bold chairs, this bold podcast.
Speaker 9:Well, when you're in construction, if there's a white chair, it ain't staying white, and that's exactly right.
Speaker 6:Those going to make it through the grease stains.
Speaker 6:I'm like no, it's funny because now my kids use those chairs at home. Right, here we go. I'm just getting all the chats popped out here so I can keep up with the great chat community. Don't forget we're coming up on halfway through the month and I'm halfway to the goals of live chatters, so we haven't been pimping for chats this whole time of live chatters. So we haven't been pimping for chats this this whole time. But we do need you to go chat specifically on rumble. We have to accrue some chats there. So make sure you guys go do your one time a month chat over there.
Speaker 9:If you're a rumble or x listener, we pretty much stop streaming on facebook yeah, if you can grow the show a little bit more, then we won't have to pimp so much. Yeah, we'll just get the chatters.
Speaker 6:Yeah, it'll be more organic instead of begging, please go go leave your mark. Oh, I actually have been really impressed with rumble's uh little creator program. They basically just set little benchmarks that you have to meet and they force your show to grow. Yeah, it's kind of weird. It's like hey, here's the equation get people to come to your channel. Oh, by the way, we're gonna start reading ads here soon. We have to do so many ads this month. I say have to, we get to.
Speaker 9:Privilege We've been prompted to.
Speaker 6:So, whatever we sell, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. I'll just tell you, I'm sure we get click-through credits. Okay, Now I need to change my audio. I need to change my audio. Well, you know, it is really fascinating how much technology has made this possible and how much it drives us.
Speaker 9:Yeah, all right.
Speaker 11:So we're going to start out this morning watching a little video about blind obedience for a traditional event. And then a man who herds goats begins to walk his flock around the fire once, twice, thrice, and then he steps away. But the goats keep going round and round. They go. No leader, no destination, just movement for the sake of movement, blindly following the one ahead. And suddenly it's not just a circle, it's a cycle, a vicious, self-perpetuating loop. It reminded me of what we often see around us in religion, in politics, in society. So many follow without question, without clarity, without understanding the true intent of the one they're following, not because they believe, but because they're conditioned, because stepping out of the circle takes courage. The fire in the middle may be real or imagined, but the fear, the motion, the blindness, all too real. Ask yourself are you thinking or are you following? Are you chasing purpose or are you circling the flame? If this made you pause, subscribe, share it to someone who needs to hear this. Yes, share the show.
Speaker 6:India so I saw that video last night. I was like that is fascinating. Right, we just flock mentality, but people are just like that. Movement for movement's sake, just get in line. Everybody walk their own way right. And I'm a big advocate of breaking sacred cows and getting outside the box. It's nice out here You're not running around a fire. There are so many things in life where people just follow the norms. One of those areas is when you're being told something by authoritative figures, people who've been certified, people who have a nice little diploma on the wall Right the experts. People who've been certified. People who have a nice little diploma on the wall right, the experts.
Speaker 9:Well, there's a lot of people who don't smoke because Surgeon General told them so.
Speaker 6:And there's a lot of people who did smoke, because everybody's doing it and the Surgeon. General said it was fine.
Speaker 9:I like lucky strikes. There was a time before the Surgeon General said don't smoke that he said smoke.
Speaker 6:Yeah, exactly, so I had this interesting discussion with family members this last week about vaccinations.
Speaker 9:Those are always fun.
Speaker 6:It's a sensitive subject. A lot of people got vaccinated. A lot of people did their research and got vaccinated. They researched which companies vaccine they were going to use. They bought into a lot of hype. I mean, it is what it is. We could have been wrong, we could have died of COVID. Maybe the vaccine could have saved you. Turned out, history kind of went the other direction. Like every other time, most of us like to go.
Speaker 9:oh, hindsight, we were so smart. Well, at the time there were just lots of questions and I, there were just lots of questions and I think that that was a driver for this podcast especially.
Speaker 6:it was like why can't we ask questions? Why can't we ask, why are we not on youtube? Because you can't ask questions over there. You can only make authoritative statements in line with the narrative, right? So this is dr steve kirsch, and he's been one of these people who's really, since covid, come out against not against vaccinations, but taking a fresh look at it, like hey, I think there's a lot of politics involved here and the numbers kind of result in that.
Speaker 12:How many children or people are totally unvaccinated? Is that like? Where do you find? Is it just the parents that stepped up and said I would think that's a very small percentage, because so many of us blindly followed, you know, the recommendations to vaccinate children.
Speaker 13:Yeah, it's less than 1% of the public. So the Amish are a perfect example of a large group of people who are largely unvaccinated. And there is no. We can't find an autistic kid who was unvaccinated. It's very, very rare in the amish community, very, very rare. You won't find kids with add, with autoimmune disease, with panda pans, with epilepsy. You just don't find any of these chronic diseases in the amish. And you know the us government has been studying the Amish for decades but there's never been a report out to the public. The reason, of course, is it would show that, oh, if you don't follow our guidelines, you're going to end up healthier. That's why there's no report. After decades of studying the Amish. There's no report because the report would be devastating to the narrative. It would show that thec has been harming the public for decades and saying nothing and burying all the data so in this discussion we had about vaccines are like oh, but the polio vaccine no way well, let me
Speaker 9:tell you a story yeah, the polio vaccine.
Speaker 6:In fact let me see if I can find it here really quick, because it came up and I was like, well, polio was kind of cured before the vaccine came out yeah, people started washing their hands and stuff well, and I read this book called the body by bill uh bryson when I was in prison, and one of the things he talked about in there was, uh, many times we get these great you know cures for disease right as the disease disappears from humanity and we're like, oh, we solved it, and it's like, no, you didn't solve it. Um, let's see right, it was just a very super sweet coincidence yeah, so polio was one of those ones where, by the time the vaccine came out, polio had almost self-eradicated exactly um, and then here's this the definition of polio has changed in the last six or seven years.
Speaker 6:This is a long time ago. Several diseases which were often diagnosed as polio are now diagnosed as aseptic meningitis or illness caused by one of the cox, coxical echo viruses. The number of polio cases in 1961 cannot accurately could be compared with those in, say, 1952, because the criteria for diagnosis had changed. So that was another thing too, was you know? Epilepsy was considered polio, right, oh, everybody dies. They never get better. Well, that's not polio, it's not the same disease uh, yeah.
Speaker 6:And then the other thing now wild polio is almost non-existent, but all the polio cases are vaccine induced. So anyways, it was just pointing this, this I'm looking for a better chart here but basically the vaccine was introduced a couple years after the polio had slowed down and, of course, was being diagnosed correctly as other diseases, right, but then the vaccine took credit for it.
Speaker 9:Took credit for it, yeah, which happens so many of these things, right, well, it's really good for marketing.
Speaker 6:Yeah, it Took credit for it. Yeah, which happens in so many of these things, right? Well, it's really good for marketing. Yeah, it's really good for marketing. So again, you know the food pyramid. I genuinely believe my generation, and specifically my parents, were massively harmed by the food pyramid. I remember I was right in that pocket. I remember my mom doing jazzercise, working so hard to stay fit, and then going and having her low-fat, high-carb, processed snack bar. You know what I mean. It's like no meat. I'm on a diet. I'm eating nothing but but processed. You know, fat free. Have you ever seen mean girls? Huh, no oh my god.
Speaker 9:So one of the chick this is a bunch of mean girls in high school. One of the chicks in this movie plays a trick on another girl by getting you to eat uh, these, uh, low-fat carb bars that she borks out.
Speaker 6:It's so funny so there's that seinfeld episode where they're having the uh low-fat yogurt and craver, buy some stock in it and you know, seinfeld gains five pounds and elaine gains a couple pounds. It's the low-fat yogurt. Leads into this whole thing where rudy giuliani has high cholesterol because the blood test gets messed up and he's like it's the low-fat yogurt. There's definitely. You know, I feel like the food pyramid. It's flipped upside down. I mean, it is precisely the opposite. You should have more fats, more protein, right? No carbs. You know, it's like it's completely upside down. I lived my entire life. We had days where we ate very little meat. Probably an affordability thing was part of it, but a lot of it was. It was not maybe the healthiest thing you got to avoid a heart attack and too much red meat bad for you right and the bottom of that pair moved.
Speaker 9:It's full of grains, so you're eating plenty of bread, oatmeal farmers are like we love this.
Speaker 6:Yeah, subsidize the corn. So I remember there's a documentary called food inc. Which is controversial in and of itself the opening premise is the guy is walking through a story.
Speaker 9:He's like everything ties back to a cornfield in iowa, like everything like he's like he goes through every product corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, corn corn well, don't forget, all of the grains were enriched with vitamin b12 or folic acid like acid and stripped of any nutrient.
Speaker 6:Yeah, that again. Goats running in a circle movement for movement's sake. This is what everybody's doing, let's do it. You know, there's always that contrarian that's like I don't think that's right and it's the nature. It was um, um. It was Henry David Thoreau. Let me find this quote Henry David, you know my my judge was so upset about the comparisons of me to Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King.
Speaker 9:You were getting those kind of comparisons he made those comparisons.
Speaker 6:He made that comparison specifically Wow, henry David Thoreau. In his essay called civil disobedience. He says this it's going to take me a second to find it practically have to read this. Oh, this thing is just so full of gold. Here there are people that are generations ahead of their time and he's one of those people. He's not really generations out of his time. He was a man of his time. You know, he's civil war era, basically trying to be like you guys really gonna go march off over hill and dell and fight for these people. He was in the north and he was like if we can't abolish slavery in massachusetts, good luck doing it in south carolina. Okay, so he goes.
Speaker 6:I made a quote like this in one of my essays and it made it into my sentencing memorandum, which then made it to the judge making comment about it, basically saying there's a proper place for civil disobedience. But this was not it. I'm like, yes, so said the officers who sent both those men to jail as well. Right, I'm not seeing if I do a, let's see. Sorry for the delay, guys, I know it's boring, live air it sure is.
Speaker 9:Oh, here's 648 folks. Let's check traffic. Let's check traffic cut to traffic.
Speaker 6:Go ahead and read the campaign. Let's read one of the ads. Oh, there's this beautiful line in here. Okay, here he goes. This is what it says. He says men generally see unjust laws. Unjust laws exist. Shall we be content to obey them or shall we endeavor to amend them and obey them till we have succeeded? This is the debate. Do we just get rid of them, or do we work within and change it from within, or shall we transgress them all at once? Men generally under such a government as this think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. We can't break the system. What if everybody pulled their money out of the bank? I mean, we know it's a fraud and it's bumping up human trafficking and drug smuggling and old tonsil matter of human carnage. But, but, but my pension.
Speaker 9:Right, I'm probably guilty of that. Yeah, of course, that's why you need to read more Thoreau.
Speaker 6:I think that if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage citizens to be alert to points and point out its faults and do better than it would have them? Why does it always this is the point government. Why does it always crucify Christ and excommunicate Copernicus and Luther and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels?
Speaker 6:One would think that the deliberate and practical denial of its authority was the only off offense never contemplated by government. Else, why is it not assigned its definite, its suitable and proportionate penalty? If a man who has no property refuses but wants to earn nine shillings for the state, he is put in prison for a period of unlimited, by any law that I know and determined only by the discretion of those who placed him there. If he should steal, but if he should steal 90 times nine shillings from the state, he is soon permitted to go at large again. This is not a new problem folks, this is what I learned when I studied political science I got a little black pilled.
Speaker 6:Yeah, y'all humans effed up. You don't think straight. You're like a bunch of goats running around a fire and every goat who wants to step out of line there's another goat trying to pull them back in. It's the crabs in the bucket thing, right?
Speaker 9:I love this, my favorite line okay, peel your face off and reveal your reptilian self.
Speaker 6:My favorite line why does it always crucify Christ and excommunicate Copernicus and Luther and pronounce Washington and Franklin rebels? So yeah, that they yeah. So my judge pointed out you know Martin Luther King and Henry David Thoreau. They had right reasons to to protest. The reasons they wrote are the same reasons I'm citing. You haven't changed. You still go after the outlaw who's simply pointing out your outlawish behavior and you're leaning into it. You're leaning into it. Okay. So over in the South China Sea, the Philippines were out on patrol yesterday and the chinese decided they were going to do a little show of force. Unfortunately, there's a certain level of incompetency in the chinese navy. So, ron, you'll appreciate this, being a man of ships oh, no on here.
Speaker 6:So the chinese right here. This boat that's in chase is in hot pursuit, ramming speed. I mean this is very close for big boats in open ocean, just all in a right.
Speaker 8:So they're going along, oh jeez what?
Speaker 2:oh my god, the chinese ran into their own boat oh man, oh man, that's so for audio listeners.
Speaker 6:We're looking at huge, two huge destroyers that just t-boned each other as the philip eal boat just took off. So look at the damage on the side of that boat.
Speaker 9:Yeah, whoa, damn, they just got rocked.
Speaker 6:Yeah, take a picture so I I look at that and I wonder, would american boats ever have that happen to them? I mean, I guess they could. We had one just burned down a couple years.
Speaker 6:Look at that oh, my goodness, isn't that wild. Those are their navy, that's their, that's the chinese navy. Right there they're just. They're just a hot of people, they're trying to Absolutely crazy. So I think about the communist command structure and it makes me think, hey, we're about to hit that other boat. Hey, we're on a bad trajectory. Don't say that. The party leader will be mad be mad.
Speaker 9:Yeah exactly.
Speaker 6:The captain told us to go this way. All right, hang on tight, it's his neck anyways. I thought you'd appreciate. I saw that and I was like I gotta show that to ron. He's gonna appreciate that. Now I don't want to close this. Uh, henry david thoreau tab, keep it up. Henry david thoreau's, keep it open david throws good, he's really good.
Speaker 6:So here's another thing. This morning cpi numbers came out. Depending on what news channel you watch, they're either lower or higher than projected by a tenth of a point, but either way they're under three percent or right around there.
Speaker 6:Yeah, and you know, people are now calling for jerome powell to drop the rates. Drop the rates. You know, not only did the job market go down, but now the inflation thing and she got to drop the rates. Then I'm hearing other people going we don't need lower rates, we need higher rates. We were dropping rates when it was 1.5 percent, trying to spur growth, and now we need to drop rates and slow down growth. It's like, oh, again it's all we gotta slow down growth, yeah.
Speaker 6:so this this guy yeah, that's exactly right, slow down growth trump's in office. We, this guy yeah, that's exactly right, slow down growth. Trump's in office we can't be letting him have any of this credit we're going to be like Barack Obama. You guys need to get comfortable with 2% Right, 2%.
Speaker 9:Okay, comfortable communists.
Speaker 6:So I actually don't know who this is talking. He's from battle banks. What his t-shirt says says, and he says something that I agree with wholeheartedly when you observe money, just observe money and what you can actually do with it, the loss in your spending power is not being calculated by any government agency. Again going back to that whole, because then they would expose that they've been lying the whole time.
Speaker 19:First of all, cpi is a CP lie. You understand it as a factoid, a metric that, while it isn't true, impacts popular sentiment and to the extent that you understand that before your competitors in investing, do you have an advantage, a rueful advantage, but an advantage nonetheless that the depreciation in the US dollar, which is a different way of saying the depreciation in the purchasing power of your savings is more like 7.5% or 8% a year. Then the rest of the economy comes into perspective. If you believe in the CPI, if you're getting paid 4.5%, 4.6% on a 10-year treasury, you're doing okay. You're getting a 200 basis point real yield. If, however, you believe that the purchasing power of your savings is declining at 7.5%, then the arithmetic around the US 10-year treasury becomes very different. You're not making 2%, you're losing 3%. If you do that, 3% a year, every year, for 10 years, at the end of 10 years holding a risk-free asset, you've lost a 30-year purchasing power.
Speaker 6:There's a principle called the time value of money and everybody would be wise to learn this. The dollar today is more valuable than the dollar tomorrow period. So who do you want to have that dollar? You should keep that dollar today. You should put off everything for everybody else till tomorrow. It's cheaper for you to pay tomorrow than it is for you to pay today. Simple principle and it can be pretty drastic. Just a couple of years ago they reported the CPI at 9%. What do you think real inflation was? 20?. I don't know.
Speaker 6:Like the CPI numbers are rigged, just like the job numbers are rigged, just like the crime statistics are rigged.
Speaker 9:Yeah, you can't believe any of the numbers, so it's really hard to deduce anything that's real or meaningful you can't believe anything at all.
Speaker 6:The uh. I remember I have a friend who's a police police officer in the boise police department and he's been there for a long time and he was talking about when a new mayor came to boise. It was a liberal progressive and they had six gang units. So they had six, you know, two man teams that just did nothing but gang crime, nothing but game, game, game, crime. Well, this guy came in and he was going to be tough on crime Democrat, and so his first action to get tough on crime was to fire five of the gang units. So then he, almost immediately, as soon as this guy's new tough on crime policies took place, crime dropped significantly, like over half. I mean it was pretty significant crime just dropped off the planet. Less arrests, less convictions I mean clearly there's less crime happening, right, wow? Right, it's amazing right.
Speaker 6:So he juiced the numbers by just changing the way it was reported. And easiest way to do that is, you know, satisfy the far left, keep on the police crowd, get rid of those guys. And then go to the right and be like look at my low crime stats wow, there's no way this one team can hit the six team numbers that's exactly, and he watched it happen in real time.
Speaker 6:He's like yeah, so not a safer city, even though they're running ads in other States telling people to move here Cause we're safer you know what I mean, Like I don't know about that.
Speaker 6:That's the thing. The police chief for the metropolitan police department in the district of Columbia just got fired because of just that faking the numbers. I remember waking up in the dc gulag in jail. Every morning we'd wake up and the guard down at the desk had already turned on the tv to the local news channel right, the dc local morning news, and morning after morning it was last night there were three drive-by shootings last night was another drive-by shooting.
Speaker 6:Last night someone else got carjacked and was shot in the head. Every single day, every single day. Now I also saw this up close and personal, my first week in solitary confinement. The guy that was in solitary confinement in the cell next to me. I was like what are you in here for? And he's like I'm in here for murder. I'll never forget the way he said it Murder. I was like murder, first degree, premeditated. Oh, ok, but it's going to be OK, though I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a plea at like eight to 15. I'm like OK, but I. I'm like okay, but I just beat. I'm probably I might beat this case too, cause I just beat two attempted murder cases.
Speaker 6:I was juvie and I beat those and they dropped them. And I was like what am I doing here? This guy's thinking he's going to get eight years, I just got seven. We're pushing a gate and I'm in the same place he is, but the depths of hell. It was horrible. And then he comes back and he goes to, like some you know, arraignment hearing or whatever, and he comes back in. He's like I'm so mad they're they wouldn't grant me bond.
Speaker 6:The judge was like you know you, you're an animal. He's like I'm not an animal, I'm a human being. I got feelings too, man. I got feelings. And then he's like I believe they called me an animal. And then they they're going to bring up the other uh charges that they already dropped, but they're only going to charge me as an adult. That's bulge, man. I'm looking at like 15 to 30 now like two attempted murders and a first degree premeditated murder. You're like you're lucky you're not getting the electric chair. Yeah, animals have feelings. And he was a boy, he was 18. He's like I came in here a boy, I'm going to leave here, a man. And I'm like, yeah, you think you're gonna leave here. That was my like I don't understand this game, so dc. And then there was another time where I was sitting in I got taken to a legal call and they didn't take me to the call. I was supposed to meet do my pre-sentence investigation thing. They, they took me in limbo my stuff.
Speaker 6:They transferred me out of one jail into another jail's long story there but shut all my phones down. All my stuff moved me to go take this call and they put me in a holding cell with somebody had used their prison underwear as toilet paper because there wasn't any toilet paper in there and it was sitting there and it was just completely filthy cell. I found a little spot for me to sit and I'm sitting there forever six hours. They just left me sitting in the cell. I missed the legal call, missed everything. Probation was on the phone, attorney's on the phone. They're asking him to come get me. We'll go get him. Finally the guy comes to get me and he goes to take me back to the other jail and I'm like, hey, I never had my call and I have no access to. I have no time. For all I know, I've been here 45 minutes. Right, there's no clocks, guards aren't asking, telling you what time it is, I don't know. Six hours, 45 minutes. You sit in a dank cell and tell me if you can calculate time. You know, you know time just becomes like are the lights on or not? Am I tired to sleep or not, like? So I'm sitting there six hours. Honestly, you could have told me it was 45 minutes and I just been like I was a slow 45 six hours. In the meantime guy across the way from me, we're yelling at each other through our glass walls like, hey, you know where are you from, I'm from here, dc. I'm getting home. And he wasn't wearing oranges, he's wearing grays. It's like what are you, what are you doing wearing grays? Like I'm going home today? Oh, yeah, you're going home. Yeah, I'm just waiting for him to take me out, get my stuff and family's in the parking lot. You're gonna pick me up. Oh, that's awesome, man, where you been? I've been in beaumont for five years. Okay, this is dc. Every everybody there. They go into the federal system, right.
Speaker 6:So he he dc resident, dc crime went to beaumont, texas, to serve his time. It's like oh, and he's like, yeah, I got five more years of probation. Oh, it's five and five. Okay. So do you mind if I ask like what that would? Would what put you down? And he's like murder. I was like five years for murder, like what? And you're going home today? Yeah, it's been a long time. I got seven years of like maybe it was like negligent, like third degree felonious mopery, you know negligent, something like probably not, it's probably carjacking. You know, it's just light light on crime, jeez, so big balls. The doge member got got beat up and he was trying to prevent a woman from being assaulted and that was the last straw. The president has had enough, so yesterday he declared it liberationation Day for DC.
Speaker 10:I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse. This is Liberation Day in DC and we're going to take our capital back. We're taking it back Under the authorities vested in me as the president of the United States. I'm officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act you know what that is and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that. Very good people, but they're tough and they know what's happening and they've done it before. In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law order of public safety in Washington DC, and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly. I'm announcing a historic action to going to be allowed to do their job properly.
Speaker 6:I'm announcing a historic action to. So he has now taken over the dc police department, exercising, I think, what they call home rule or something like that. And uh, this is the justification for it. It's pretty simple some father's wisdom city.
Speaker 10:you know, my father always used to tell me I had a wonderful father, very smart, and he used to say son, when you walk into a restaurant and you see a dirty front door, don't go in, because if the front door is dirty, the kitchen is dirty also, same thing with the capital. If our capital's dirty, our whole country is dirty and they don't respect us. So it's a very good question actually simple stuff, right, simple stuff.
Speaker 6:I think it's pretty good. I didn't spend any time on the east coast growing up. I'm a clearly a child of the inner mountain west and the pacificountain West and the Pacific Northwest specifically, and out here it's all about. You know, you look around and you just see space. The views are grand and there's big mountains in the background with snow-capped hills. You've got the ocean. The mountains come down and touch the ocean.
Speaker 9:Tree-covered foothills.
Speaker 6:Tree-covered foothills. You drive further into the Intermountain West and you just see vast landscapes of openness.
Speaker 6:You see plains and vistas as you drive across the interstate that could house a million people and there's not even a cedar tree. You know, I mean just space. You drive for hours between cities. So much opportunity, so much resource, so much room to grow. There's no shortage of sunlight to grow food or to raise cattle Like's just no lack of nothing. You go over to the east coast it's crammed in. Dc to new york is a sea of people. There's hardly a scrap of ground that hasn't been built on and demolished and built on five times. You've got segregated neighborhoods. You have this weird bifurcated society. Because people can't create and make things there, you have to just kind of manipulate the existing, and the existing is owned by somebody.
Speaker 9:The first ghetto I ever saw was in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6:Yeah, I was blown away. In fact I got to be honest I was a little bit discouraged about the shape of America. Spending the small amount of time I did on the East Coast, spending the small amount of time I did on the East coast just just commuting from New York to DC and doing that stretch a couple of times and kind of getting to see Philadelphia, newark and, you know, baltimore and spend a little time driving around all that kind of stuff Not cool, not cool. You drive South right and you get down to, like some of the open space in Virginia and you get down by Monticello Gorgeous, beautiful, reminds me of the West.
Speaker 9:Little breathing room little breathing room.
Speaker 6:But that chunk of I don't know 30, 40 million people that all live in a three hour stretch, get out of there. You're ruining it for the rest of us. You're trampling the grass. Gets it, you know. Stop walking on the same trails, man. You're making it hard for people to get off trail. I understand you. Over there it's like yeah, an electric car 300 miles. Who drives 300 miles? You know how many Walmarts you drive past with 300 miles? Out here you're like one. You drive by one If you're lucky. If you're lucky. Where's the nearest Costco from this Costco? 900 miles? Five tanks of gas, not one. Not like I've never. It always blows my mind out here people who are like oh, electric cars, I'm like dude, I drive 120 miles to work one way. I'm 240 miles a day.
Speaker 9:You think I'm gonna get an electric charge on that it's funny that you mentioned costco, because anytime that I consider moving to a, I always look for how far away is the nearest Costco and it always kills the deal.
Speaker 6:It's so funny because we're 20 minutes away from Walmart. That's pretty far actually. Most of the world is five minutes away from Walmart. We're 20 minutes away from milk and we don't even really think we're really in the country. Necessarily, right, it is vast in the West for the listeners in the West. You're like, probably never thought about it. It's just the way it is. If you're one of those listeners that we have over on the East Coast, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Just this last week I went into downtown Seattle or last Friday. I just have no love for it. It's just dirty and there's not the right kind of energy for me there.
Speaker 9:Yeah, that's kind of funny that you say that. I think we're very similar in this vein, because I don't want to go anywhere east of the Mississippi, really. Yeah, it's just not interesting to me. Yeah, it's the other thing I was just thinking about. I have no data to back this up, but I'm guessing that people on the East Coast spend way more time in their car. But people on the West Coast go way farther.
Speaker 6:Oh yeah, oh yeah, way more mileage On the West Coast. The car dealerships like to go to the East Coast to buy cars from the auction because at 90,000 miles they're beat to crap. They've been in stop and go traffic falling apart 90 000 miles on a car that's like a brand new car. It's like, dude, you just broke it in. Yeah, you know, like you just got the heat seal off.
Speaker 9:You know, we don't even have to clean out the cup holders I've gone 55 60 000 miles in a year.
Speaker 6:You know I'm driving a diesel truck right now with 300 000 miles on it. I got 200 000 miles to go for the next oil change, you know yeah when you're putting highway miles on everywhere you go. But yeah, go to the east coast.
Speaker 9:It's stop and go, stop and go stop yeah, and some of the turnpikes, oh my gosh, they'll shake your car apart. You know, you guys know what I'm talking about. And then they're like pay it. It's like what?
Speaker 6:Pay for what? Dude my shocks? I need new struts after this yeah. All right. So CNN reacted to Donald Trump invoking a home rule, and you can imagine how they and it just as we go to break.
Speaker 15:I should note that the most violent moment in recent history in DC was January 6th and it was an attack on the United States Capitol by a lot of people who were doing it in the name of Donald Trump, and it included the people who were hurt, included members of law enforcement.
Speaker 6:And it just as we go to. That was very matter of fact. So the crazy thing about this. Julie Kelly does this thing. There's no evidence that 170 cops were injured 170 cops yeah, they say 170 cops were injured. She says there's no, there's no evidence. I've never even heard that before. Yeah, it's like 170 cops got injured.
Speaker 9:It's like there's no evidence of all I've ever heard was well, there was a guy that got smashed with a, you know a fire extinguisher or something like that, but they, they didn't, and that actually didn't happen.
Speaker 6:Yeah, exactly so in my case, they made this big deal where you hurt. Yeah, I got hit in my leg and I thought maybe I'd broken my leg, did you? Did you return to duty? Yeah, like one minute later. Okay, did you seek medical attention?
Speaker 9:No, no, it was all cool, bro.
Speaker 6:You thought you might have broken your leg for 15 seconds. That initial smack oh, I'm good, okay, yeah, exactly. Did you return to duty? Yeah, okay, serious injuries, all right. So Hillary Clinton posted this today because she's a great follow on X if you're not following her.
Speaker 6:Violent crime in DC here it's 30 year low and this is from January 3rd 2025. So you know, just got to make sure right out the door. Washington total violent crime in 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023. And it's and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department and announced by the United States Attorney, matthew Graves. By the way, I have in dishonor and he owes me something. A breakdown of the data is available In addition to overall violent crime reduction homicides are down 32 percent. Robberies are down 39 percent. Armed carjackings are down 53 percent. Assault and dangerous weapons are down 27 percent when cops compared with 2023 levels and with district reporting the fewest assaults in dangerous weapons and burglaries in over 30 years. You know, reductions in crime like that are only possible with deep cuts to staff, just like Boise. Yeah, you can only achieve a 35% drop by eliminating the law enforcement that would be dealing with that. It's almost unbelievable that level of drop in crime, unless you can correlate it with some campaign or something. And guess what? Nothing they've been doing would lead to a drop in crime, except for handcuffing their staff, clearly. So Hillary wants to juxtapose that again Narrative over facts, cpi over reality. Ok, food pyramid over common sense.
Speaker 6:Washington dc trump said we'll be liberated today. Crime, savagery, filth and scum will disappear. I will make our capital great again. The day of ruthlessly killing or hurting innocent people are over. I quickly fixed the border zero illegals in the last three months. Dc is next. Thank you for all the attention your attention to this matter. President donald j trump. One of the scary things about dictators and tyrants is when what they do works. Yeah.
Speaker 6:Because then you want more of it Because you want more of it. Yes, kelly, down in El Salvador is a dictator Now. Maybe he's a benevolent dictator, maybe he's one of those wise philosopher kings Aristotle was pitching us on Right but he's been absolutely dictatorial and, by the way, just passed a law where now he can be president for life.
Speaker 6:So, dictators are going to dictator. The people want more of it. Keep giving me more of it. Hit me harder, daddy. So you know, we'll see how this really goes in 2028. If Trump files to run again, we'll see. If he, if he, goes to repeal that amendment, then you know, dictators be dictatoring. I'm just kidding, but it is one of those things, right, violent crime. It's machiavellian. Here's a problem, here's a solution. I think that our current deep state just thought that they'd get to provide the solution instead of donald trump yeah but it was setting up for that.
Speaker 6:So, uh, this was a. This is from clandestine, and clandestine says hear me out. Now keep in mind, this account is one of those accounts that's worth following. It's one of those accounts that consistently and reliably calls his shots consistently. Okay, I think it's clandestine, because either a it's a deep researcher or could be somebody that's got some clandestine thoughts.
Speaker 6:There was a January 6th uh prisoner that I roomed next to. His name was Matt Great guy. He was in military intelligence, worked at the CIA, nsa, alongside Snowden for a period of time and his he and I, when we would go on walks in the gym, had great discussions and he would tell me kind of how intelligence works and how it operates and how it's. You know, it's a different way of thinking. We peasants don't oftentimes. We don't have God complexes right. We're not trying to manipulate the world around us, we're just trying to be in it, just survive. You know circadic rhythm or just season to season, day to day. But they're not like that at all. They have long-term plans. They'll build someone up just to rip them down to create leverage. Oh, you don't want to get rid of this lifestyle Now? It's time to stop reporting the news and start reporting the narrative right. By the way, we've got those ad reads coming up here pretty soon. I'm just kidding. So this is what clandestine says. Hear me out.
Speaker 6:The trump administration, the trump admin, released a series of documents showing inconvertible evidence that the obama regime, the intelligence community, the mainstream media and the, the democrat national convention, etc. Are still engaging in a coup to overthrow trump absolutely. And now the us military is being deployed to dc and potentially other cities to quell crime and violence in these democratic run strongholds. And all of this is happening while grand juries are being impaneled for the russiagate conspiracy and while trump and his admin have been warning us that accountability is coming for this treasonous all. While the trump admin and his all. While trump and his admin have been warning us that accountability is coming for this treasonous all. While the trump admin and his all, while trump and his admin have been warning us that accountability is coming for this treasonous plot. This sounds very similar to how lincoln used the insurrection act in the civil war to address the succession of the south, restore federal order, quell uprisings and the eventual suspension of habeas corpus and military arrests. Based on the documents shown by tul Tulsi and us witnessing in the last 10 years of the Trump witch hunt.
Speaker 6:Is it wrong to suggest that we are sort of in a quasi-cold civil war? Is it wrong to suggest the Dems' coup against Trump meets the criteria of an actual insurrection? I think there is much more going on than meets the eye. Trump is preparing for something very big, I think. Technically, we're at war with the domestic threat. We are at war with the quote enemy from within, which is what trump has said many more, many, many times. Interesting, interesting. Meanwhile, the irs has been brought under the treasury and the epstein story is quietly starting to not make waves I?
Speaker 17:I would say that this is, from at least a political point of view, quickly turning into a dud of a story. What am I talking about here? Which is wild. Which is wild?
Speaker 17:Where this has been for three weeks Exactly. Take a look here Google searches for Epstein, down 89% versus just three weeks ago. Falling through the floor, it is no longer the top term searched alongside Donald Trump's name. That's been trading off between Taros and Vladimir Putin, with, obviously, the meeting coming up later this week, but at this particular point, the American people's interest in this story. It's quickly becoming something of a nothing burger.
Speaker 5:So out of sight, out of mind maybe is applying here a little bit but has it impacted? Have you seen numbers that have impacted?
Speaker 17:this has impacted Trump's popularity favorability Anything? No, not really. I mean. Take a look here. Let's take a look at the overall numbers. Trump's approval rating in July of 2025, it was 45 percent. It's still well within that margin of error here at 44 percent, and you compare that to where he was in his first term. At this point he was at 37 percent. So he's seven points higher, very much in a different political universe now. Significantly higher in terms of his overall approval rating than he was at this point in his first term, and more than that, among Republicans his approval rating is near a record high, hovering right at about that 90 percent mark. So, no, he hasn't lost any of that base and when it comes to that center of the electorate, he's basically holding on there and his overall approval rating 44 percent is pretty gosh darn good for him, considering where he was at this point in term.
Speaker 5:Number one what do you think is behind it? Why there hasn't been more movement?
Speaker 17:Yeah. Why hasn't there been more movement? I think this is pretty simple. Take a look here. Nation's top issue is the Epstein case. This is the number of respondents. This isn't the percentage of respondents. This is the number of respondents In our last CNN poll look at this. Zero respondents said that the Epstein case was the top issue. How about among independents? Zero independents said that, and among Republicans, and therefore overall, just a single one. So, yes, there used to be a lot of interest in this story, but the bottom line is that, even amongst those who had high interest in this story, it wasn't something that they thought was all that important and, as I said at the beginning, the interest in this story has fallen off the table.
Speaker 5:Which, also, when you look at this and you compare it to just the attention that Capitol Hill was giving it, donald Trump supporters were giving it, congressional committees were giving it, it is incongruous.
Speaker 17:I would just say this Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician I've seen on this particular issue. You see it full well and clear because he has been saying you know, this is not an issue and it turns out that a lot of the american public actually seem to agree with him if you dream it, it will become john you wish, if you dreamed of her become.
Speaker 6:Here's the problem that I got big dreams lady here's the problem that they have they've lost their effectiveness. So the media can epstein, epstein, epstein, and they're talking to this. What cohen said I have a million followers, you have a million followers, and they're the same million.
Speaker 9:He has 77 million, right, totally different people I would also uh say that there's some attrition here, because people get tired of looking for information that doesn't exist well, and the democrats?
Speaker 6:haven't been able to like provide on their end, like where are the arrests happening? When is trump going to jail? And he didn't. He became president, so they're kind of you know it doesn't matter like everybody's black pilled on everything. At this point, pick your team, the one that's going to do most of the stuff you want, and you're going to go with it and Trump provides. Like what Frank Luntz said If you voted for Donald Trump, you're getting everything you voted for. And he rattled off a whole list of things, and the Epstein things becomes kind of a minutiae in the story. It's kind of part of the larger story, but it's not a deal killer, because have you seen what they've been doing with tariffs recently, have? It's not a deal killer because have you seen what they've been doing with tariffs recently? Have you seen that the border has been locked down? Have you noticed that there's black kids mowing lawns and washing cars instead of the Hispanic crews that used to be out there?
Speaker 9:Yeah, I like all that, but have you noticed how the roads are safer.
Speaker 6:They're like the drivers.
Speaker 9:I want some questions answered on the Epstein files too. Yeah, I do too. I'm just like a typical American. I I'm just like a typical American. I want everything. I want everything right now?
Speaker 6:Yeah, of course we do. Now here's the thing the mainstream media did it to themselves by canceling people, by reporting on lies, by telling us not to believe our lying eyes. And we're coming outside and it's like the sky is purple, we're like it's clearly blue. You know, Adam Schiff is totally credible, Are you sure?
Speaker 9:about that. I mean, here's what I'm trying to say when Americans we want everything but we can't look at everything all the time and give all of our attention to everything, so with limited attention to give, eventually stories like the Epstein get less attention just because there's attention is being diverted elsewhere, and so then these guys turn around report on it as if nobody cares about anymore. No, that's not. That's not true.
Speaker 6:We still care about what happened on epstein island we just don't care what you have to say about it anymore I guess, I think that's what it is.
Speaker 6:the vast majority of maga has been completely gotten completely comfortable getting their news independently, totally comfortable getting their news independently, totally comfortable getting their news independently. So we no longer care what MAGA has to say. I don't really care what Anderson Cooper has to say about any given topic. If anything, you're just confirming that it's risen to your attention level of awareness. We've been aware of things going on that you won't talk about. You know, like vaccine injuries and autism epidemics, and the food pyramid caused obesity to be rampant among what would normally be a healthy population, exactly, and so we just have stopped caring. And the people that do say the things, not just that we want to hear, but become validated over time by reporting the truth and being canceled, you make them famous.
Speaker 9:And see, here's the deal is these news cycles. They push these stories off the back end like they don't exist anymore. We'll never hear about Epstein ever again after this, apparently Well, I don't want that to happen to all these other topics either. I want to continue to talk about election integrity. I want to continue to talk about vaccine injuries I want to continue to talk about vaccination schedules.
Speaker 9:I want to continue to talk about the food pyramid. I want to continue to talk about all of these issues until they're resolved. Until they're resolved, yeah, so, uh, not just well, looks like amer Americans don't care about this topic anymore.
Speaker 6:Next On the election. Let me run this for comparison. You've got MSNBC, cnn, fox News, cbs, abc, nbc. I already said MSNBC. Those are your news broadcasters and they have a large audience. You know ABC Nightly News is broadcasting to like 30 million people. Cnn is running, you know, half a million to a million people, prime time-ish numbers. I mean, these are. Those are big numbers, especially if you're an advertiser, you want access to a million people and stuff like that. But these are dwarfed. These are dwarfed by people like alex jones, art bell, megan kelly, dan bongino when he had his show war room. They're doing bigger numbers.
Speaker 6:Here's megan kelly talking about her numbers and what she's able to do. And, by the way, she came from that world of narrative pushing. Remember, she's the one who tried to take Donald Trump by being you're mean to women and Trump came back only to Rosie on Donald. She's the one who went over to MSNBC after being at Fox News just to be run out because she made a comment about when she was a kid. She was in blackface and it wasn't that big of a deal. And now, oh my gosh, you got to apologize and then the apology didn't stick. She got run out.
Speaker 4:Well, MSNBC's loss, I'm going to put that in the chat?
Speaker 6:No, so one woman with one show is beating their entire network streaming ratings. What are we doing? Wrong, wrong. I think we need five more producers. We should be making till there make it till you make it, isn't it? That's? That's the problem. I don't have enough producers if I had more producers, clearly I could do what?
Speaker 6:no, no, no I mean, I'm just as pretty right like I could get there. I get some stylists to come in and figure out what works best, get the right glass frames and stuff. No, seriously though, massive amounts of influence. With the opening of the show, the revolution will be podcasting. Cnn can't make the epstein stick. You know why? Because megan kelly moved on, because alex jones called it a hoax. Because that's why they can't make it stick.
Speaker 6:Five, six years ago they could run with weapons of mass destruction for a decade. Ain't no one gonna them? They can't get a platform right. Look how hard Glenn Grinwald and WikiLeaks, julian Assange, the efforts they had to go to publish things on some obscure website that nobody would cover. Today they'd have a podcast. Today they'd have a huge podcast and they'd be doing the rounds with John Solomon and Dan Bongino talking about the DNC act right, but back then it wasn't that way. Things about the dnc act right, but back then it wasn't, wasn't that way. Things are changing and it's going to change even more. The days of the 155 100 million people in one, one show audience. That's a first commerce advantage. That's a something there. There's more to it now. The future will be podcast audiences with a thousand dedicated listeners.
Speaker 6:Yeah right, it'll be a bite, it'll be it'll be local it'll be localized, it'll be, uh, niche oriented people who want to hear my perspective, the peasants perspective, on things. It won't just be generalized as much. So as time goes on those shows, they'll still be huge because there'll be like anchor shows. But you know, if we were really doing it right, we'd be reporting on you on Megan Kelly clips, because she's making the news every bit as much as CNN is. She's definitely interpreting it for people Pray. The rosary daily said that she, she goes, I love this guy. And then I said are you talking about me? She goes, henry, on CNN frowny face. And she said I don't know if I trust her. She's talking about me and Kelly. Now, she just tried to take Trump down during the debate with the Rosie thing. Now. Now she's a Trump fan. Yeah, she's a Trump fan and she has openly said because he's the best, you know, better than Biden, better than what we got.
Speaker 6:There's a lot of people and again, this rhino right and it's problem here in the local GOP Well, we don't like everything. Trump say stop saying that. Stop, we, we're not hedging our bets here, we're all in. He's the president Like get over here, son. We don't like everything. He says yes, we do, yes, we do. This is the party here. There's no independent. This is the party line. These are the people that are willing to tow the party line.
Speaker 6:You might be at the wrong party. Yeah, you're in the wrong party. Yeah, that's what Ro Khanna says. I don't like everything Trump says, but he's got some good populist policies. Stop acting like the Democrats. He's a hard guy.
Speaker 6:Ok, so let's go a little back in time here. This is Andrew McCabe talking to Morning Joe and Mika the most interesting marriage on TV and he's discussing his book and how the threat, how the FBI protects America in the age of terror and Trump. So this is a little longer clip. I'm sure we'll stop and talk a few times, but again we are in the zone of accountability. Let's flash back and remind ourselves everything that has been said up till now. The bold face lies coming out of these people's mouths. Now for those that are over on the audio side of the podcast, we've been uploading old season one episodes. Every day, at 6 am, a new season one episode loads up. I very much appreciate the listeners that are listening to that. They're doing double duty over there. They're getting an hour and a half of this and then they're getting an hour of whatever something from 2020, 2021. So it's kind of fun, but it's interesting because it's as I'm watching the episodes come out. I'm like we will play clips uh-huh almost four years.
Speaker 6:I mean, this is a 2019 clip. Right, we probably played this before on the show. We're seeing the names the same names. They're in the hot seat. They're being grilled by the house. We got this little tidbit of information. It puts the story together. So now in, I'm telling you. There might be a thing here or there that we were getting wrong, or maybe the narrative was incorrect, but we were trending in the right direction.
Speaker 6:We were way out ahead of this thing, I mean the only guys that were farther ahead of us on it were guys breaking news Bongino, solomon, the guys that were actually breaking the news. We were, as far as analysis goes, we nailed it.
Speaker 9:We were definitely on target.
Speaker 6:And if you go listen to some of the episodes, I'm pretty much prophesying that if things keep going the way they go, people like me are going to end up in prison. You cash the checks. You're right, folks.
Speaker 20:So all right, Andrew McCain, Not only the FBI and you had concerns about Donald Trump's ties to Russia, but that you were investigating him.
Speaker 22:What can you tell us about that? That's right, so you know, an important part of that very dramatic step of initiating investigation, certainly getting that recommendation from my team considering it very closely, approving it for the reasons that I've detailed, my team considering it very closely, approving it for the reasons that I've detailed. And we had observable, observable facts that indicated that a threat to national security may exist, that a crime may have been committed. You were specific.
Speaker 20:We are investigating the president of the United States because we are concerned that there may be something, something amiss regarding his relationship with Russia. I was perfectly clear of that.
Speaker 6:I want you to pay attention to this because, ultimately, andrew McCabe is going to talk about obstruction of justice, but keep in mind what we know about the dossier, the predicate of the investigation, everything like this of the investigation or everything like this, and what they ultimately came to was they can continue the entire investigation because Trump appeared to be obstructing their investigation into it, which equated to obstruction of justice. Perfectly clear to that point.
Speaker 22:The basis upon which we made that decision was perfectly clear. We were in possession of facts that made it abundantly clear that we had an articulable basis to believe that that threat might exist and under those circumstances, the FBI is obligated to open a case. If we don't open a case because the subject happens to be the president of the United States, we're not doing our job. Can you tell?
Speaker 23:us what the facts were that led you to believe that there should be an investigation?
Speaker 22:I can tell you, sure. So some of those things that we're adding to that conclusion were the very first mark. The president had made it perfectly clear publicly, as you said, joe, that he did not like what we were doing. He'd been undermining the case, referring to it as a hoax, just constantly communicating through his Twitter feed that he was not happy with the investigation we were pursuing. He was aware of our concerns about Russian involvement in not just Russian involvement in the election, but Russian support to what we and the intelligence community confidently believe was support to his campaign, particularly when we briefed him on the intelligence community assessment that took place on January 6th. So was that for he was actually inaugurated? I was confident, in May of 2017, that we had ample facts to indicate that the president may have committed obstruction of justice.
Speaker 6:That's the so by 2017, trump's been shook down by Comey. Knows he didn't collude with Russia. Knows everything was a hoax collude with russia. Knows everything was a hoax. And when he fired comey had people running for the hills and mccabe is sitting there going by.
Speaker 6:By that point we've pretty much determined that, based on trump trying to call off this nonsense investigation, he's now obstructing justice and that's enough. Yeah, so a falsely predicated investigation into the president of the united states, as if the doj is some sovereign entity right with sovereign prosecutorial powers, is investigating their own boss for non-crimes of which they're aware, they are aware are non-existent, non-existent, but trump's obstructing because he's not happy with us. So you know, that's a got to smile. Put on a smiley face.
Speaker 9:You know this is gaslighting America, for sure, but it is the weakest thread, look how serious he is about it.
Speaker 22:We just decide when and what we investigate and we do it not based on politics, not because we like the guy or we don't like the guy, we think this case would be interesting or fun. We do it because the facts we have at the time and at that time it was abundantly clear to me that we had enough facts to indicate that that crime may have been committed does that mean?
Speaker 16:you leave open the possibility that the president united states was taking direction from russia. Absolutely what's your?
Speaker 6:so because he wants to get rid of the bullshit crime or bullshit investigation. And he's. You're now deeming it as obstruction because you're preventing you from executing your insurance policy plan, which is what you called it. We have the text messages hey, you called it an insurance policy because he's obstructing you from cashing the insurance policy check. You're now like, oh, he's guilty of obstruction and, ipso de facto, is also a stooge for Russia. You're a stooge for Russia. As was said many times, Putin couldn't have got a better bang for his buck if he'd have set the whole KGB over here. I mean just the illusion of interfering. He's gotten so much street cred from interfering in the American election and he had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 9:He didn't have to do a thing.
Speaker 16:He didn't have to do a thing. Explanation for why President Trump has seemed again and again and again to lean toward the Russians to defend Vladimir Putin in cases when no one else would.
Speaker 22:I wish I could explain that for you this morning. Right, that's something that I think anyone either involved in this investigation or simply watching the results of what Director Mueller is doing, sits back and scratches her head over day to day. The facts are, it doesn't take a surreptitious recording, it doesn't take extreme investigative techniques. All you have to do is watch the president, watch what he does, listen to what he says, and you can't help but escape those questions. We were grappling with the issue of what to do about a president who you think may have committed a federal crime and might present a national security risk.
Speaker 6:A federal crime you set him up for.
Speaker 16:You created an obstruction trap. This is not easy stuff. Stop there. What is the national security risk? You believe the president posed.
Speaker 22:That relates to the counterintelligence case. Right, we felt like if the president has obstructed justice for the purpose of negatively impacting our ability to investigate Russian interference with the campaign and Russian potential connections with his own campaign effort, why would any president do that? Why would a president not want the FBI to understand exactly what the Russians have been up to in our political process? I know how I served. I know that I serve this country honestly and with integrity. That is what I've tried to represent in this book.
Speaker 6:I don't wait how do you feel about that, ron?
Speaker 9:well, I'll tell you so. He talks just like a director and also just like a con man. I mean, he's a confidence man all the way, oh yeah, and he's never been in the field either.
Speaker 6:He's always been a br, mean, he's a confidence man all the way, oh yeah, and he's never been in the field either. He's always been a briefer. He's always been the guy that goes and gives the briefing and gets the head for it. Dude, and his wife was taking money from Hillary Clinton, by the way she was running for office. So you know, I mean like no big deal there, but you know Trump's obstructing in our investigation into Russia's meddling into his own campaign, which he knows is a complete, the whole thing is so hard to watch.
Speaker 6:It is so hard to watch. They paid him a million dollars, man. They paid him a million dollars because he got fired early. He got fired for. Why is Trump upset? Why would you want it? Because you leaked to the media that this investigation is happening. If you just did it and came to me with a report and said Papadopoulos and Manafort colluded with Russians, great, lock them up.
Speaker 21:You know what I mean.
Speaker 6:Like I got nothing to do with them, but instead they wanted to tarnish him with it. They obstructed his entire presidency. Have we considered other presidents that might have been obstructed? You know what I mean? Like who really runs this place? This was, uh, our favorite trey gowdy, who I've already expressed as being essentially a complete wimp. Not saying he's not tough in a as a prosecutor when he's got the the you know vesture of authority or whatever, but he's a wimp. He had these guys in their crosshairs and he backed off and it's my opinion, because once you go to the doj, you never leave the doj department of just us. But he did get some stuff on the record and revealed, which again just goes to show how weak he was for not capitalizing on it, and even more again how weak he is when just last week he's like we should just name and shame him and let it go. Really, you weren't sounding that way a couple of years ago.
Speaker 7:Director Brennan, do you know who commissioned the Steele dossier? I don't. I don't?
Speaker 6:I don't. You briefed Barack Obama on it. We have your notes, we know you went to Barackack obama and said hillary clinton is doing this thing, she's got russian disinfo and she's going to try to smear trump with it. And then brock went hmm, that's interesting. And then a few days later he goes hey, what if we actually made that real? So it was a still dossier included, did you? No, bold faced lie? Bold faced lie right there. I don't know how anybody can say it's not. What is going on with my I?
Speaker 7:don't know. So, Director Brennan, do you know who commissioned the Steele dossier? I don't. Do you know if the FBI paid for any portion of the Steele dossier?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I know that there are press reports related to that, but I don't know. I have no first-hand knowledge of that.
Speaker 7:Do you know whether any of the underlying allegations made in the Steele dossier were ever tested, probed, examined, cross-examined, whether the sources were examined for reliability, credibility?
Speaker 1:I know that there were efforts made by the Bureau to try to understand whether or not any of the information in that was valid, but I just don't have any firsthand knowledge of it.
Speaker 7:Do you know if the Bureau ever relied on the Steele dossier as part of any court filings applications, petitions, pleadings? I have no awareness. Did the CIA rely on it? No, why not?
Speaker 1:Because we didn't. It wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence, uh information that we had.
Speaker 6:It was not in any later he went to describe as it was part of a mosaic of intelligence. So it wasn't part of the corpus, but it was part of the mosaic. So if you can parse through that language, what? What is the deal? I?
Speaker 1:don't know they used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done. Uh, it was.
Speaker 7:It was not so, director brennan, do you know who commissioned?
Speaker 6:basically he's just lying every pretty. I mean, I'm no expert on perjury and I hate to be one passing stones, but I feel like every answer was perjurous, which is again really surprising.
Speaker 6:Why trey gowdy would be like ah, whatever yeah I'd be, personally offended I'd be, personally offended, okay, so john solomon was on with hannity yesterday because we had some breaking news and I'm going to show you this here in a moment what it is that we got on the leak out or what it is we got from chuck grassley's office about adam's chef. So let's hear John Solomon describe it and then I'll show you the documents.
Speaker 18:This is a big story and this is a Democratic whistleblower, and there might be other Democrats implicated as well, like Kinzinger yeah, well, uh, one of the guys that's in here uh is eric swalwell.
Speaker 14:Now, that is secondhand information from the whistleblower, but the whistleblower actually attended a meeting with adam ship and corrected ranking member.
Speaker 18:Yeah, yeah, I stand corrected it was uh they both hate trump, so I kind of mix them up let them talk.
Speaker 14:Hey, sean, yeah, they're all merged together these days. Listen, this whistleblower literally sat in a meeting. He says he tells the FBI where Adam Schiff authorized the leaking of classified secrets to dirty up Donald Trump and to try to build towards either a select committee in Congress or a special prosecutor. This whistleblower was a career intelligence officer. He had worked for the House Intelligence Committee Democrat staff for a dozen years when he came forward to president to the FBI, he gave four interviews. He gave very specific information to the FBI and nothing happened. Why? Because the Justice Department simply decided to take a pass.
Speaker 14:How many times have we sat around in the last decade and heard we're going to get to the bottom of that classified leak and then a few months later we couldn't get to the bottom of that classified leak? In the case of Adam Schiff, they got to the bottom of some classified leaks, but the Justice Department chose not to act. So tonight, attorney general, past attorney generals, people like Merrick Garland and Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein who was acting on Russiagate they've got some serious questions answered. Did they know about this Adam Schiff stuff? Why did they allow it to be passed on, and will anything happen in the current Justice Department?
Speaker 18:My question wasn't it a hearsay so-called whistleblower that led to the entire Ukrainian impeachment? Just refreshing my memory, yeah.
Speaker 14:Yeah, exactly, and it turns out that what he described in the call wasn't actually an accurate description of what happened In this case eyewitness in the room with Adam Schiff able to deliver to the FBI. The good news is that Kash Patel has gotten these documents to Congress. By the way, this is the first of several major leak investigations we're going to see over the next several days. You're going to see other major people that were clearly identified by the fbi's having leaked classified secrets. Their own staff turned them in. When interviewed by the fbi, nothing again happened. It's a common pattern. The question now is in donald trump's justice department, does that dynamic change?
Speaker 6:wow, yeah wow, in today's news that we already knew. So this is the document that is was released. So let's see, that's not a very good view of it. Okay, so it says when working in the capacity, blank was called to an all-staff meeting by schiff. In this meeting, schiff stated that the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to the president of the united states, donald j Schiff stated that the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to the President of the United States, donald J Trump. Schiff stated that the information would be used to indict President Trump. Stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured Blank that they would not be caught leaking classified information.
Speaker 6:Blank was again approached about leaking classified information in a separate meeting by unnamed individuals. Believe this activity to be unethical and treasonous. Was concerned about the discussion and, as a result, reach out to contacts from his prior employment in intelligence for guidance on where to report this experience. These discussions led to blank contact with the fbi regarding his concerns, had several conversations with two unnamed fbi agents related to the matter and was eventually invited to attend a mock grand jury with the united states department of justice would advise was advised not to bring his attorney to this meeting, uh no. However, invited the two fbi agents he worked with to attend this event um, don't go in the room with cops. Was eventually informed that the issue would not be investigated further by the doj.
Speaker 6:As congress have immunity to all speech and actions made on the floor of the us house of representatives, blank did not believe that the activity he witnessed would be protected by this legal provision. It's like we weren't on the floor of the senate and he was committed treason. You don't get immunity for that. So this person right here, eric early, whoever, that is a list of potential adam schiff felonies that are brewing and growing leaking classified information. See the newly released document.
Speaker 6:Violations of the espionage act, seditious conspiracy, election interference, mortgage fraud, perjury and treason is not off the table either yeah so adam schiff is in some deep doo-doo, deep doo-doo, and here's adam schiff again talking about you know, let's just go back and she knows that same.
Speaker 9:Look on his face, I know.
Speaker 6:I guess it's his face so, my colleagues, here we got, you got to hear him, because again, this guy, when his lips are moving, he's lying so my colleagues made the statement repeatedly that I had met with the whistleblower that I know the whistleblower is.
Speaker 24:It was false the first time they said it. It was false the second through 40th time they said it. It will be false the last time they say it so I'm like but it was true the whole time.
Speaker 6:Yeah, it was true the whole time. We know ericiaramella was involved with that and what we just read there was from a different leaking event. Right here is Adam Schiff on with Tucker Carlson and Tucker Carlson is like his one news hit on Fox News. Thought I'm going to go into the lion's den.
Speaker 23:I got the goods Right Now let me ask you one final question. Can you look right into the camera and say I know for a fact the government of Vladimir Putin was behind the hacks of John Podesta's email? Absolutely.
Speaker 24:The government of Vladimir Putin was behind the hacks of our institution and the dumping of information Of John Podesta's email, not only in the United States Of John Podesta's email.
Speaker 23:But also in Europe. Okay, you're not, you know what you're not. And Tucker Look and say I know they did John. And I think that Ronald. Reagan will be rolling over the stage, ronald. Reagan, you're carrying water for the Kremlin. I'm not carrying water for the Kremlin. You're a sitting member of Congress on the Insult Committee and you can't say they hacked. You're going to have to move your shoulder to RT.
Speaker 23:Russian television, because this is perfect. This is so beneath your office, because it's so dumb and you're being duplicitous. I'm asking you did they hack Podesta's emails? You can't say it. Look in the camera and say they hacked John Podesta's emails. We know for a fact that Putin's government did that. You can't, and you know you can't and you're hiding behind weasel words.
Speaker 6:Let me ask you one, tucker Carlson nailed him, you're hiding behind weasel words. Adam Schiff would boldface lie, but he'd also abs'd, also obfuscate a lot. Did Russia hack the DNC emails? Well, they hack stuff all the time. That's not what I asked. Yeah, did you hit a home run last night or not? Well, I hit home runs all the time in practice, but did you hit one in the game? You know what I mean. Like when it matters.
Speaker 6:This is from a while ago too. This is back when rakulov was still in congress and he was calling out schiff. All the way back then well again.
Speaker 21:Uh, buffer about it this way, bill. Uh, yesterday democrats passed a resolution to give Chairman Schiff the most authority in the impeachment process moving forward. Adam Schiff is someone who has tried to impeach the president not once, not twice, but now three times. The first time he accused the president of treason and said he had evidence to support collusion with Russia. That wasn't true. Then he said we should impeach the president because he obstructed justice and promised Bob Mueller would breathe life into that until Bob Mueller admitted that his obstruction analysis was under a legal standard and burden of proof. That didn't exist.
Speaker 21:So now we're on to fake impeachment effort number three, surrounded by a whistleblower, a whistleblower who first met with yeah, that's right the staff of Chairman Schiff. The details of that haven't been released. Chairman Schiff won't release the inspector general's sworn testimony, which will confirm the contacts between Chairman Schiff and the whistleblower. It's like this, bill If we had a trial, the person who planted fake evidence shouldn't be the one ruling on. Uh, the person who planted fake evidence shouldn't be the one ruling on the admissibility of fake evidence.
Speaker 6:It was all so apparent. It was also apparent broaden your news horizons, listen to a little bit of everything and make your own decisions, but credibility matters, like some of these guys. Ratcliffe has been talking for the same amount of time as adam schiff. Devon nunez has been talking the same amount of time as as adam schiff. Adam schiff stands on sifting sand. The story changes with each new leak and each new piece of information that you find out they've got to modify. Well, we were going to send someone in, to send a wire, but we were joking, but it was totally serious. Oh well, it was totally serious because we were afraid donald trump had committed obstruction of justice. Oh okay, obstruction of justice in the investigation that wasn't properly predicated in the first place. Well, he didn't know, it wasn't properly predicated and he was obstructing. I mean, why would you want to obstruct if it benefits russia, does it benefit russia? Does it hurt america? I feel like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 9:I think we've had this exact same argument before. Yeah.
Speaker 6:But you're watching them stand on sifting sand and their story moves with each bit of information. But you guys got Devin Nunes comes out and has he ever been wrong? Is there one thing he said that he got wrong? Is there one piece of information he has shared that hasn't ended up being coming essentially gospel truth, supported by further and further evidence? Is there one thing ratcliffe have said that wasn't correct? Is there one thing donald trump has shared that has proven to be an outright pulled out of nowhere light? Sure, maybe a little rhetoric. Sure, maybe some rounding up on some decimal places or some. You know, he took the 800 000 and called it a million. Sure, right, but has he been wrong directionally on anything at all?
Speaker 6:They spied on my campaign. No, we can't say that this is 60 minutes. We're a credible show. No, you're not. Not. If you can't admit my campaign was spied on, you know what I mean. You've lost all credibility.
Speaker 6:Last night our uh war room was playing pbs frontline. There's a whole documentary about trump coming over and taking over. Now he's the big bad man. He knows all the pull the levers of power. January 6th is violent insurrection, dude. The narrative is out of control. It doesn't match reality at all. You know they're dude. The narrative on russiagate is worse than the cpi. It's worse. All right, guys, we need to jump over to private, because I have to do that. We got to get a couple hours in every month and it's easy to do if we just do 10 or 15 minutes every day.
Speaker 6:So we are going to be jumping over to private browsing and then we will be continuing on with this conversation and you're going to hear what steve cascalese has to say about adam schiff. When adam schiff was spying, not only on the trump campaign but on other members of congress, he actually had their phone records. Yeah, yeah. So it's not like you know, he was just going after trump. It's almost like he's a party bulldog, except he looks like a little rat terrier. But either way, right, or a pug is probably a little closer. I don't know. I shouldn't be making fun of watermelon head. I'll let Trump do that. I'll just stick with Trump's nicknames. So shifty, shift. Anyways, we're going to be hearing about that, and then we're going to be hearing about what's been happening in California with the rebuilding rate, and then we're going to hear Donald Trump's mic drop moment yesterday, because he had a good one. So let's go ahead and play the outro and then we'll be right back to.
Speaker 6:To talk to those in Rumble private, you have to be a Rumble premium member to be there. Other than that, don't forget to go visit. Left behind without dot org 1776. Live dot US. We are starting our big trust creation class today. It's super exciting. Feel free to go and learn more by joining one of our ignite presentations on Thursday afternoon, late afternoon evening, if you're on the East coast, and with that we will sign off. Pray. The rosary daily says I want shift to be taken down. Who is the arrest that will shock the nation? There are so many Hillary, obama, clinton, clinton, etc. Who will they?
Speaker 9:who would actually shock us? I would be shocked. Hillary obama and bill clinton, I would be shocked at shania.
Speaker 6:I'm not going to be shocked when brennan. Not going to be shocked with any of the other people. I'll be shocked if it's one of those three but okay, yeah, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 6:Yep, uh, anti-socialist league said peter struck, and lease and lover lisa page were paid a million dollar settlements because their privacy was violated when their texts were made public Texts that showed they would do anything to stop Trump. You know what's funny about that Texts being made public thing? A couple of us have been down that road, so you'd think I'd get a million bucks for my texts being made public and my address being doxxed.
Speaker 9:Okay, before we go out, Taylor finish this.
Speaker 2:Finish this. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang. Old woman, man, man. Sorry, what knight lives in that castle over there? I'm 37. What I'm 37. I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you man. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind you looked. What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king, oh king. Eh, very nice. And how did you get that? Eh, by exploiting the workers, by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going to be any progress, there is.
Speaker 2:There's some lovely filth down here oh.
Speaker 3:How do you do? How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the? Who, the Britons? Who are the Britons? Well, we all are. We are all Britons and I am your king.
Speaker 2:I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship, A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes oh there you go, bringing class into the gang. That's what it's all about. If only people would.
Speaker 3:Please, please good people I am in haste who lives in that castle? No one lives there.
Speaker 2:Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What I told you? We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, I see, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, be quiet. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major, be quiet.
Speaker 2:I order you to be quiet. Order. Who does he think he is? I'm your king. Well, I didn't vote for you. You don't vote for kings. Well, I can become king. Then. The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest, shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king.
Speaker 2:Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Be quiet. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. Shut up. If I went round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away. Shut up, will you Shut up Now? We see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up. Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up. Oh, come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I'm being repressed. Bloody peasant. Oh, what a giveaway. Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Eh, that's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me?
Speaker 9:You saw it, didn't you?
Speaker 6:Bam, now we're private, we're back. Well, we never left. Listen to the outro and we're back, okay, so let's go ahead and jump in here. If you're still in with us on rumble premium, hit us up in the chat, let us know you're here. You'd like to know who we're talking to, so, especially if you're a long-time listener, you know cater the show right to you. All right, this is Steve Scalise talking about when Adam Schiff had subpoenaed I believe it was AT&T and probably the other phone companies as well for congressional phone records.
Speaker 8:But I'm very concerned about what the chairman has done and I'll yield in a moment. But he selectively put in a report the names of members of the press, of members of Congress, who he has had political disagreements with. He didn't put the names of everybody else in there. If he's got 3,500 pages of reports, of phone records of people he's been spying on, he won't share all of those people that he's spying on. But he's selectively going to leak out names of members of the press who've written articles, maybe that he disagrees with. That's frightening, that would be an abuse of power. But we don't know because the chairman won't share the details of what he's up to. But he did selectively put some of that in a report that wasn't even discussed in the hearings and so, yes, it raises alarms, it raises concerns and, and I would hope, we get to the bottom of it. But I'm very concerned about what the chairman has done and that is so and I'll yield.
Speaker 6:So he took phone records of congressmen and was looking at. This guy is so crooked, so crooked it amazes me an elected representative like that would be so deeply involved with the intelligence community like truly. Uh, scott adams describes certain, the designated liars that are in the Democrat party. You have certain you know when these people are talking something is a miss. And one of them let's see if someone's driving to New Mexico. Yay, pony boy, that sounds fun. You should go pick up my friend, uh Earl, take him out of New Mexico. We need them out of New Mexico trying to. He's got to get his driver's license here in a day or two and then we're putting them on a bus and getting them out. I don't care where he's got to get out of that, that neighborhood he's been dealing with. But anyways, what was I saying? Adam shift, designated liars. So scott adams describes certain people as designated liars jamie raskin, adam shift, designated liars. Then you have your designated idiots aoc, jasmine crockett, maxine waters. These are your designated idiots. When you just need someone to go up there, send those people. They're incoherent, right, but they're they're. They're catchy and cute, big booties and whatever, right, but all the important stuff for politics, important stuff. But Raskin Schiff, durbin, these are your designated liars.
Speaker 6:I look at the same thing with, like, lindsey Graham. He's a Republican Party designated liar. Like, if they need to push a, push a narrative and get the old bull Republicans on board and move it, you get Lindsey Graham to be like oh, this is the side of the issue I'm on. And then half of the Republican caucus in the Senate's like yeah, us too, you know? Yeah, chuck Schumer, he's a serious person, he's just corrupt. So it's easy to catch him in a inconsistency or a lie. Uh, what was the? He was doing a hearing and they're like well, would you like to talk? We're not here to talk about that, we're here to talk about trump. It's like the most badly hypocritical thing.
Speaker 6:Here's another throwback that I didn't tease out earlier, but this is is Rod Rosenstein being interviewed and this again came up as a clip on one of the shows from 2020 that we played. It was just a week ago. Rod Rosenstein has his day in the hot seat is the name of that one, or that was the name of it before it got renamed when I uploaded it again, but anyways, this is. This was him being grilled by Ted Cruz about the Russiagate investigation. Now Rod Rosenstein offered to wear a wire to go meet with the president. He's in on it. He's in on the insurance policy. He's in on the obstructing the Trump campaign, but he's playing this ground of trying to pretend like he's a steady hand at the till he Bill Barr Sessions.
Speaker 6:They all come in and they're like oh, we're above this, we're nonpartisan. They maintain that aura, but these are dirty, dirty people. Rod Rosenstein's got dirty, dirty past when he was in Baltimore, Not someone that you want running the nation's law enforcement and the DOJ. Ok, you can go. It goes back to the audio. Listen to season one. Follow the story. We pull apart Rod Rosenstein and who he really was, stretching back to Baltimore, so it's no surprise that he plays this. You know, I'm just a good nonpartisan doing my duty thing, Not that at all.
Speaker 25:The Obama Biden administration did in 2016 and 2017 makes everything Richard Nixon even contemplated pale in comparison, and Richard Nixon rightfully faced impeachment and ultimately resigned as a consequence of his misconduct. The evidence that has been made public has made clear that the Obama administration targeted his political opponents, targeted President Trump and his campaign, unleashed, weaponized and politicized the Department of Justice, the FBI and the intelligence community, and that the decision making to do so went right up to the very top.
Speaker 6:We want to say this hearing Ted Cruz say this from four years ago, or this is three years ago, something like that. I remember when this happened. I remember what job site I was, Cause I would live stream C-SPAN when I was working Right, I just have it on and I could listen to these hearings for hours and hours. I've listened to tons of hearings Cause you know that's what I do.
Speaker 9:It's great background, Great background it's, but it's great background, great background, right, but I've listened to this.
Speaker 6:And then, every once, while you're like, I remember exactly where I wasn't over on a job site in the swim area. I remember having my head down in the septic tank. I remember my phone being set up over there so wouldn't fall into the septic tank. I remember having dirty gloves and not being able to touch my phone when you know it buffered out or whatever it did, and I had to go and you know you know clean off so I could touch my. I remember all of this. I remember exactly where I was seating many years ago. When you hear Ted Cruz say this, it should be like oh my gosh, stop everything, stop looking into Trump. What's going on with the apparatus, weaponized government? Ted Cruz could give this same speech today and we'd have the same reaction, you know, and it's like so when is somebody going to finally do something?
Speaker 25:so that on january 4th 2017, the fbi concluded, in the document that has just been released, that there that general michael flynn was quote no longer a viable candidate to be part of this larger case. Their investigation did not yield any information on which to predicate further investigative efforts. The FBI is closing this investigation. That was January 4th 2017. The next day, james Comey, the director of the FBI, is sitting in the Oval Office with Barack Obama, with Joe Biden and James Comey.
Speaker 25:According to a memo from Susan Rice one of the most remarkable CYA memos written in Washington, written on her last day in office, an email to herself saying by the way, this investigation into the national security advisor coming in to the new office, the president has said do it quote by the book. She says by the book three times. James Comey tells the President we're investigating Michael Flynn by the book. Well, unless the book is Richard Nixon's Watergate the day before the FBI said they were closing the investigation. And there's James Comey telling Barack Obama we're going after General Flynn, a decorated three-star general, the incoming National Security Advisor to the President, with Joe Biden sitting right there nodding along. Joe Biden himself personally unmasks Michael Flynn's name. That's the world you came into, mr Rosenthal. Unmasks Michael Flynn's name. That's the world you came into, mr Rosenthal.
Speaker 6:That's the Department of Justice you came into. That's the Department of Justice Rod Rosenstein knew all along. He helped build it that way. He's a part of that apparatus just north in Baltimore, just right up there, basically like a sister city to DC. I've been watching his eyes. He's like you're close, this is the world you walked into. But you're a good guy, right, yeah, right, you're gonna clean up this mess. And rod rosenstein's like oh, yeah, sure, yeah. By the way, I'm like deeply involved in all of it where it had been corrupted and politicized.
Speaker 25:You've read the inspector general report, Mr Rosenstein.
Speaker 8:I've read most of it. Yes, sir.
Speaker 25:You've read the 17 repeated material misstatements documented within the Inspector General report.
Speaker 8:I have read that. Yes, sir.
Speaker 25:You're aware, one of those is a lawyer, fraudulently altering an email, creating counterfeit evidence.
Speaker 6:That was Kevin Clinesmith. For context, there was the FBI sent an email creating counterfeit evidence. That was kevin clinesmith. For context, there was the fbi sent an email to the cia saying hey, is carter page one of your guys, because we see something in here? And you know his emails showing that he's communicating with you guys about russia. Like as in every time he has contact with russia, he calls the cia and he's actually an asset of the cia to spy on russians and actively works with the cia. And they go oh yeah, no, he's one of our guys. And then you know what he did he inserted the word not. He altered the email to insert the word not so that the fbi wouldn't automatically stop looking at carter page because he's an intel asset. They inserted the word not to get the warrant. They they did that. They did that.
Speaker 25:That became the predicate for a sworn statement in the FISA court.
Speaker 8:That is in the inspector general's report. Yes, sir.
Speaker 25:Are you aware of other instances? The department of justice employees fraudulently creating evidence to submit to court?
Speaker 8:Every instance that I'm aware of Senator would be appropriately investigated and, hopefully, appropriate action would be taken.
Speaker 25:Mr Rosenstein, on May 17th, you appointed Bob Mueller the special counsel. On June 29th, you signed the third FISA application. On August 2nd, you signed the second scope application. You came into a profoundly politicized world and yet all of this was allowed to go forward under your leadership. That, unfortunately, leads to only two possible conclusions either that you were complicit in the wrongdoing, which I don't believe was the case, or that your performance of your duties was grossly negligent.
Speaker 6:It was the former.
Speaker 9:He doesn't smile. Did you see that smile that came on his?
Speaker 6:face. It wasn't grossly negligent. We're right on target, we're right on timeline. Yeah, wow, the Obama, these people committed treason man right in front of our faces and lied to us about it for years.
Speaker 6:They, they, people committed treason man right in front of our faces and lied to us about it for years. Their narrative is not supported by the documentation. The Nunes Ratcliffe Trump narrative is being supported by the documentation, their own words, their own emails. We're doing this by the book. We've got an insurance policy, rod Rosenstein hey, you know, the boss doesn't know we're talking. Who's the boss? Obama, not Trump. Rosenstein appoints a man with memory problems, cognitive issues oh, moeller, he'll put his name on it. But Weinstein's running the thing right. Super corrupt, super corrupt. And people like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, to his own extent, kind of ran cover for these guys, you know, kind of made it easy for them to, to get going, you know, to to continue on I mean had the republican party even been maybe five or six more stronger voices, they could have built a coalition and actually done something about this, but instead we, I guess.
Speaker 6:I guess we have to give them some credit because we got the information. I mean, they dripped it on us?
Speaker 9:no, but we had to go through four years of kabuki theater, or 10.
Speaker 6:Well, yeah, sure it's all kabuki theater, though it's all kabuki theater and some of us went to prison. Yeah, literally, like actually it sucked. Okay, grant cardone, who uh ran for mayor, he said this it it's official California's land grab, just informed by FEMA in California. If your home was affected by fires and you are required to spend 50% of the previous home's value to fix it, you will be forced to raise the entire property structure to a new quote. Flood water requirements will be enforced to raise a perfectly good property three to four feet at a cost of 40 to 50 million.
Speaker 6:This will make it impossible for anyone to rebuild, adding years to completion. Everything the California government suggested about coastal approvals, fast tracking et cetera, it was a lie. So I'm guessing what that is is doing something like this where you have to raise it up. I don't know, and I'm sure you, looking at that as an engineer, you're probably like how deep does that, those concrete pylons go? On a sand beach Probably pretty deep, right? You're not doing the horseshoe method here. You're planked down pretty deep Horseshoe, not horseshoe, the snowshoe method, right when you're on.
Speaker 9:Saw you get big and flat. No, it's on top. That's not going to work. No.
Speaker 6:Anyways, pretty, pretty bad. Yeah, california, it's a freaking mess. Ok, and then the last thing here is Donald Trump's mic drop moment. He had this he got asked a question yesterday about the meeting with Putin and if he could broker a deal or make a deal, and this is what he had to say.
Speaker 10:Well, we're going to have a meeting with Vladimir Putin and at the end of that meeting probably in the first two minutes I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can be made. Because that's what I do I make deals.
Speaker 6:How will you know? Oh, you know, if you could make a deal, I'll know in like two minutes. How will you know? That's what I do I make deals.
Speaker 9:Yeah, what a deals. Yeah, what a dumb question where have you been?
Speaker 6:what are you doing? Yeah all right, guys. That's it for today. Thank you for joining us on rumble private, especially pony boy, who always makes it over to join the after show and we will talk to you guys again tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Bye old woman, man, man, sorry, what night. Lives in that castle over there. I'm 37. What? I'm 37. I'm not old. Well, I can't just call you man. You could say Dennis. I didn't know you were called Dennis. Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you? I did say sorry about the old woman, but from behind you looked. What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior. Well, I am king, oh king. Eh, very nice. And how do you get that? Eh, by exploiting the workers, by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society, if there's ever going to be any progress. There's some lovely filth down here, oh how do you do?
Speaker 3:How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that? King of the? Who, the Britons? Who are the Britons? Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king.
Speaker 2:I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship, A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes oh there you go, bringing class into the gang. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 3:If only people would Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle? No one lives there.
Speaker 2:Then who is your lord? We don't have a lord. What I told you? We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. Yes, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting. Yes, I see, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, be quiet. But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major.
Speaker 2:Be quiet. I order you to be quiet. Order. Who does he think he is? I'm your king. Well, I didn't vote for you. You don't vote for kings? Well, I can become king. Then.
Speaker 2:The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest, shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Be quiet. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. Shut up. I mean, if I went round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away. Shut up, will you Shut up? Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system. Shut up. Oh, come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help. I'm being repressed, bloody peasant. Oh, what a giveaway. Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Eh, that's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you?
