Speaker 1 (00:03):
Warning Europe down to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save America with your host Sean Parnell.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the
show where we kick ass, and we take names, and
we lock horns with the radical left. We never quit,
we never surrender. From sea to shining Sea and everybody
in between. Welcome Patriots on this glorious, glorious Thursday. It
(00:35):
is a great, great day, but also a tragic one
in so many ways. I late last night. We've got
a lot to talk about today, a lot, but I
would be remiss if we didn't kick off the show
talking about this horrible air disaster down in Washington, DC
(00:57):
at DCA Reagan National Airport. I have flown into that
airport more times than I can count, and last night
a UH sixty Blackhawk helicopter crashed into a CRJ passenger
commuter airline. I'm sure many of you all have been
following the story from last night and into the day today,
(01:22):
and I was just horrified by it all. And the
questions that were on the forefront of my mind was
how could something like this happened? That was just It's
just what I kept asking myself over and over again,
you know, how does a Blackhawk helicopter crash into a jet?
(01:42):
And especially as it was landing and Reagan Airport, I
think is probably has some of the highest air traffic
in the country, maybe the highest air traffic in the country.
And Blackhawks. You know, as I thought through all of this,
(02:05):
Blackhawks are damn hard to see at night. They're real
hard to see at night, and they're a tactical aircraft.
They're made precisely to be difficult to see at night
outside of you know, some flashing, very dull flashing lights.
Black Hawk pilots. Obviously, I'm a ground pounding infantry guy.
(02:25):
I spend all of my time in the trenches front
towards enemy. But I've done quite a bit of flying
in a black Hawk and what they would call air
assault missions in a black Hawk helicopter. And when you
do that, you get to know the aircrews, you get
to know the pilots, you get to know the aircraft.
(02:46):
You know, not well enough to fly the damn thing,
but you get to know some of what they call
the tactics, techniques and procedures of how the pilots interact
with a crew chief and crew chief interact with the pilots.
And I'll tell you you at night, nighttime flying or
nighttime missions are are extremely difficult. Obviously they're under night vision,
(03:07):
but the pilots have a real difficult time seeing and
they rely on the crew chief in the aircraft to
talk to them about what's around the aircraft, the proximity
of other aircraft, information, you know, potential flight hazards along
the way. The crew chief is always poking his head
(03:27):
out of the aircraft looking around for things like that,
and then a crew chief over the radio relays that
information to the pilots. But in very chaotic circumstances like
the one at DCA Reagan International Airport. And I'll talk
to you a little bit about the mission that this
Blackhawk helicopter is on here in a second. The radio
(03:50):
traffic in the air, traffic in and around DCA is crazy.
I mean, it's just overwhelming. There's all sorts of radio
traffic that isn't traditionally. You know, these Blackhawk crews they're
training in and around the DC area, so maybe they
are familiar with it, but there's a hell of a
lot more radio traffic in and around the DC area
(04:11):
than there would be in maybe other places. And I
could foresee a scenario where the crew chief was not
out of the aircraft what they would say, out of
the aircraft looking around for hazards, but in the aircraft,
maybe monitoring hydraulic gauges, fuel gauges, pilots doing the same thing.
I don't know, but clearly there was an issue, and
(04:32):
we don't know what that issue is. It's very important
for me for me to say that I don't know
what the issue was, but clearly there was a catastrophic
air made on the Blackhawk helicopter because at the time
of the impact with the CRJ now, the jet was
on its approach. It was on its track, the track
(04:56):
that almost every flight makes when it comes into DCA.
So the that was kind of almost they're not an autopilot,
it's the wrong term, but the jet, the jet was
flying on its track and the Blackhawk was at the
wrong elevations. Clearly something was wrong. We don't know what
that is yet, but I'll tell you I am I'm
(05:17):
heartbroken for you know, the sixty four souls that were
on that aircraft, many of whom were the you know,
developmental US figure skating team, young kids, teenagers, some of
their coaches, their families. Coming from Wichita, Kansas. I watched
(05:38):
some of the interviews with family members of those who
had loved ones on that plane, and my heart just
breaks for them. And I'm reminded, you know, when you
go to combat and you experience what I experienced, or
what many American men and women who put the uniform
on experience in combat, you realize just how fragile life is.
(06:01):
You realize that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. And
I can hear the pain and these parents and these
and these spouses, husbands voices when they talk about their
their loved ones on that airplane, and it's just it's
just tragic in so so many ways. And I think
(06:22):
that was the reason, you know, the media immediately went
after Donald Trump last night. I don't know if any
of you all are paying attention, but man, let me
tell you I was very very closely paying attention to
everything that unfolded last night in media narratives that were
building out of it. And I'll tell you you know,
Abby Phillips and folks on CNN, they did not waste
any time trying to tie this horrific accident to President Trump,
(06:44):
you know, removing some FAA chair or some committees, some
bullshit you know that happened, that would have not even
been close to, you know, having any effect on the
accident that happened that night. You know, immediately the left
and the Democrats were politicizing it right away, trying to
blame President Trump for it. Even some elected members of
(07:05):
Congress did that as well. They were still pulling bodies
out of the Potomac, and Democrats were already trying to
politicize it. That's how ghoulish and sick they are. But
many people are attacking President Trump today because I can
tell you know, what I appreciate about President Trump is
(07:26):
that last night he was putting on truth social many
of the same questions that I had, and some people,
like some people might not like that, but I actually
appreciate the transparency that he's a human being just like
the rest of us, processing this horrifying accident and putting
his questions out there publicly, like, hey, I'm the President
of the United States, and yeah, America, if you have
(07:46):
these questions, so do I. In other words, translation, we're
going to get to the bottom of this stuff. You know,
some of the media attack him for that. I actually
appreciate it. And many in the media are now attacking
President Trump relentlessly today because during his press conference, President
(08:07):
Trump went after diversity, equity, and inclusion and said very
clearly that DEI could have played a role in this.
And that is unequivocally true. Okay, Obviously, anyone with half
of a brain in their head knows that there are
a litany of other things, a constellation of other things
(08:30):
that could lead that could and were likely a part
of an accident like this. But this DEI insanity that
Pete Boudagag and the Biden administration pushed on many of
American America's institutions. But the FAA as well, let me
(08:51):
just tell you the FAA was one of the most
egregious offenders of race based hiring practices. And just go
back and look. Just search on Google or you're a
preferred search engine. You know FAA recruiting people with intellectual
and psychological or psychiatric disabilities. Look look this up for yourself. Uh,
(09:16):
there is a there is a lawsuit that was leveled
against the FAA. Turning aside, you know, thousands of qualified
applications because they weren't diverse enough. You know, the air
traffic controllers at c s in the FAA had these
ridiculous diversity quotas that they had to adhere to, and
(09:38):
because of those diversity quotas, they turned aside thousands of
qualified people for jobs that Now, now, what did that?
Would that make a difference? You know, I think overall
probably makes the errors a little bit safer, make make
our country in the airspace in America a little bit
safer to fly because you have the best and brightest
in those roles and you're not filling pointless diversit quotas,
(10:02):
and you know, these orders. You know, the media can't
seem to wrap their minds around this. But these DEI policies,
you know, well, there's I guarantee you there are certainly
there's probably human error involved in this and some other
things as well. But these DEI policies that were put
in place years ago have second and third order effects
(10:24):
that cascade downward into air traffic control centers all around America.
And the question is always do we have our best
and brightest in those positions? Look, battle crew, I'm coming
over to the live chat AM I off base on
(10:47):
this answer that question for me? Am I off base
on this? Am I wrong to cite this as a
factor a possibility for an accident like this? And my
second question to you all battle crew, do we want
(11:12):
the best in the brightest in these positions air traffic
control or doctors in the military. Should all every position
in our federal government be merit based in color blind?
I happen to think yes. You know, I believe strongly
(11:38):
that we should judge people by the content of their
character and the color of and not the color of
their skin, and how they perform in certain issues. Are
they the best? Are they Are they the smartest, Are
they the biggest? Are they the fastest? Are they the
most qualified for that job? And Look, the media does
(11:59):
not like this. They do not like that Trump brought
this up. President Trump brought this up right away. But
he's right about this. He is right about this. And
today at four point fifteen Eastern Standard time thereabouts, Trump
signed in an executive order to investigate DEI policies implemented
(12:23):
by Biden in the FAA after the plane crash. Look, folks,
the reason why this is important is because Trump is
clearly pissed off that sixty four plus people lost their
lives and three soldiers lost their lives in an accident,
(12:44):
that accidents are by definition preventable, and my heart breaks
for those families, and I think Trump is angry for
them and also has a responsibility. If DEI was a
part of this, if if these ridiculous race based quotas
(13:06):
were a part of this, where we're not getting the
best and the brightest in these jobs. Should the President
not confront these issues head on? I think he should.
I think he should confront these issues head on. And
so that brings me to where we are with Pete
(13:27):
hag Seth and the d D and how they're reacting
to all this. There's so much news that broke last night.
I'm gonna try to get to all of it today,
but there's just so much going on. Like the Cash
Hotel hearing was today, the RFK second hearing was today,
Tulsey Gabbard's hearing was today. There's so much going on.
(13:49):
I'm gonna try to get to all of it, but
make sure, first of all, it kind of just been
rolling from the top of the show here. Make sure
you smash that like button, the little gray thumb beneath
the videos turn it green for me. It's how we
make the leaderboard every single day, and you all, the
battle Crew do a great job of doing that. And
I also missed thanking a loyal viewer yesterday for a
(14:15):
rumble rant tip that she left. Lady Sunfire, you left
a tip yesterday and I forgot to thank you, But
thank you today. I always try to thank everybody, even
sometimes I'll get the notification of the flag from an
Cindy after I've already logged off. When that happens, I
always try to get you the next day. So don't fret,
(14:36):
battle Crew, not that you would, but I thanking you
all is a very, very very important part of this
show because you all are just This show is yours, okay.
Steel Woman also thank you for the rumble rant tip.
Steel Woman says, Battle Crew, please write and call your
senators and tell them these nominees must get through. Trump
(14:56):
is a mandate and a right to his team. Rat
Bastard dems the best audience in the world. Hammerhead, thank
you for the rumble rant tip. My friend. Hammerhead is
an og member of the battle Crew, as is steel
Woman says, for beer with beer emojis and hair gel.
(15:18):
Thank you, Hammerhead. But I think look at this, I
think I'm good on hair gel. And by the way,
and by the way, you see the flannel that I'm wearing.
Everybody orange flannel today, so I've got lots of different flannel.
This is my favorite shirt company. They have nothing to
do with sponsoring the show. I haven't asked them, but
these poncho shirts, they're the best orange flannel for today
(15:40):
because it's cold in the studio and it's still winter
out and in the winter, I wear flannel. I do
not drive a Subaru, and I do not wear Lululemon
like Savage Rich, although people have been writing to me
since the show yesterday and saying Lulu Lemon's actually comfortable
and I should it a try. So maybe, just maybe
(16:04):
I will try a Lululemon hoodie, but only on a
trial basis. I will not, I repeat, I will not
drive a Super U. I'm just not gonna do it. Also,
quick shout out to my buddy Dan Nunn and his
nun Chucks for rating the stream today. I see you
(16:25):
in the chat. Lucky to have you. Everybody should go
follow the Nun report. He's got a great show that
he does, and Dan Nunn is a patriot that if
you're not following the Nun Report, definitely follow him today. Okay,
So the title of the episode is Transparency is the Objective.
(16:46):
And I got a text message from, you know, one
of my buddies, who is who is a Democrat. He's
a moderate Democrat, but a Democrat, and he said to me,
you know, I don't always agree with Trump, but he
has done more press briefings in the last week and
a half, almost two weeks now, than Biden has done
(17:08):
in four years. And he's absolutely right. The reason why
I'm saying this is that if this moderate Democrat, my
friend who's a moderate Democrat is noticing this, the American
people also notice this, and they also appreciate the transparency
they just do. This is Trump's style, clearly, but I
(17:31):
believe it's also a strategy, you know, battle crew. This
second Trump presidency, a couple things are happening. Faith in
the media, traditional corporate media is at an all time low.
They are the weakest that they've ever been. So it
(17:53):
makes sense to go straight to the American people with
your message. Just don't allow your message to be tainted
or shown through the dirt crusted window of the corporate media.
They just lie. They have nothing but lies in hoaxes.
If there was one takeaway from any of these hearings,
(18:16):
which by the way, listening to these hearings has just
been exhausting because these democrats, I have to tell you,
these democrats don't really care about you know, how Cash
is going to run the FBI, how RFK is going
to run AHHS, or how Tallsey is going to be
you know, the chief Intel Officer. I mean, they don't
(18:37):
really care about that stuff. They'd rather assassinate their character
and make up false allegations about them and all the rest.
They're really doing a disservice to the American people. However,
this Trump administration and the cabinet nominees who have been
confirmed have been locked on point and are taking their
message to the American people. And I'm telling you this
(19:00):
is very, very smart and a vast departure from the
Biden administration that was completely and totally fake the entire time.
So here's Pete Hegseth in the Pentagon, in the Secretary
of Defense's office behind General Pershing's desk, which that's the
sect has Pershing's old desk, taking his message directly to
(19:24):
the American people. I can't tell you, I don't know
that in my lifetime anything like this has ever happened.
But I love it and I want to see more of.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Update this morning, just got off the phone with the
self com Commander and the Chairman the Joint Chiefs talking
about our efforts at gouatanam Obey that is ongoing. We're
leaning forward and supporting the President's directed to make sure
that we have a location for violent criminal illegals as
they are deported out of the country. No one's going
(19:56):
to wait in the Defense Department, and we're working that
in real time. But I also wanted to give an
update on the tragedy that happened last night here in Washington,
d C. And provide a little bit more information as
we are actively working to investigate.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And understand what occurred and why.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
At about eight forty eight last night, a UH sixty
assigned to the US Army Aviation Brigade in the Military
District of Washington Fort Belvoir, Virginia, collided tragically with a
civilian airliner. The unit involved, the Army unit involved with
Bravo Company, twelfth Aviation Battalion at Fort Belvoir. It was
(20:34):
an annual proficiency training flight. And when we look at
the crew and we're not all not all kin have
been notified, so we're going to withhold ranks and names
at this point.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
We do know on our side who was involved.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
It was a fairly experienced crew and that was doing
a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
The twelve Aviation Battalion.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
As of now, it's granted a forty eight hour operational
pause on contingency missions as what happened is reviewed, and
a senior level aviation team, an investigative team from our
Aviation Safety Center who's deployed last night. It already is
in Washington, DC to investigate what's going on. We anticipate
that the investigation will quickly be able to determine whether
(21:22):
the aircraft was in the corridor and at the right
altitude at the time of the incident. As I mentioned,
next of kin notifications are ongoing. It's a tragedy, a
horrible loss of life for those sixty four souls on
that civilian airliner and of course the three soldiers in
that Blackhawk.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
They're in our prayers, they're.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Families and their communities as people are notified. I can't imagine,
and I know it's gone from a rescue mission to
a recovery mission. And we're with all the first responders
that are moving actively to so at the Defense Department,
our thoughts and prayers go out. We are actively investigating
to find out what happened and why, and as we
(22:04):
get updates, you will have them.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
God bless.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Listen. I can't tell you the last time that that's
been done, but a couple things. If we are to
gain trust back in our institutions, stuff like this has
to happen, has to happen often has to be an
(22:32):
embrace of radical transparency has to happen. Otherwise the American
people will continue to lack faith in their institution. Actually,
our faith in these institutions will continue to erode. I mean,
as I was watching that, I had on my mind,
(22:56):
you know, the juxtaposition of two different incidents, this horror
flying incident that happened last night at the in air
collision of the helicopter and the CRJ Jet aircraft passenger aircraft,
and the drone attack during the Afghan withdrawal now we
(23:17):
were told because I remember this like it was yesterday,
because you know, I was running for Senate. I was
I probably did you know seventy media hits a month
during the collapse of Afghanistan. I was just wired into everything.
I had buddies and friends on the ground that were
evacuating Americans because the Biden administration was just an abject
(23:40):
failure in every single way, leaving Americans behind. So I
had like two hats on. I was running for Senate
in the most important state in the country, and I
was helping doing everything I could to help evacuate people
on the ground and put people, you know, in contact
with the right people to get people out. And I
walked that's a report come out of the Pentagon of
(24:02):
a drone strike that supposedly killed a suicide bomber. And
I thought, man, that kind of seems really a suicide bomber.
I mean, just having somebody that having been somebody that
was on the ground and seeing how these drone strikes happened,
I thought to myself, why they got they did a
drone strike during this chaotic withdraw and they've already conducted
(24:29):
what you would call an ssee a sensitive site exploitation.
In other words, you go out to where the strike
happened and you do what's called a battle damage assessment,
and that takes time. You got to get people out
there on the ground, whether they're allies. I mean, that's
not preferable. You want to have Americans on the ground
to do battle damage assessments, but insensitive site exploitations. But
(24:49):
I thought, damn, that was pretty fast to be able
to call in a drone strike and then already back
in the Pentagon be able to report that, yes, it
was a suicide bomber, because you know, what kind of
how do you know it was a suicide bomber? What
explosives did he use? Like was their secondary explosives in
the blast? If you were released the drone strike video,
Like what was he driving? Was he wearing a suicide
(25:11):
vestor were the explosives packed in the car? I mean,
all of these were questions that I had in the moment,
And I have to admit that I was a little
suspicious of this story when it first came out and
Jen Griffin was reporting it, and of course she's a
Pentagon reporter for Fox. She's been doing this stuff for years,
and I was suspicious. But come to find out, you know,
(25:34):
a couple of weeks later, that that story was a
big lie, and they knew it was a lie from
the very beginning, and that drone strike did not kill
a suicide bomber, but it killed a bunch of Afghan children,
maybe an Afghan family who were caught up in the chaos.
(25:54):
But the first instinct of the Pentagon and the Pentagon
reporter who reported this should have asked tougher questions and
just not rely on propaganda fed to her from a
Defense Department official. I like, like, I'm sorry, but the
way that that went down was the opposite of transparency.
The only reason I'm telling you that, folks, it's at
(26:15):
that kind of stuff that completely destroys the faith and
trust that we have in our institutions, in this case,
the DoD and if we're to get it back at all,
has to be an embrace of radical transparency. And so
not only did hag Seth do this meeting from behind
the Sect Deaf's desk in the Pentagon, he was also
(26:39):
at the White House podium talk I mean, when was
the last I mean, I don't know, I don't know
for sure if Secretary of Austin ever did this. But
you don't often see the sect deaf at the White
House podium, at least I don't recall seeing the sect
deaf at the White House podium all that often. But
hag Seth was there as well. Listen, I would echo
it as well.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
No excuses.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
We first and foremost from the Defense Department want to
pass our condolences to the sixty four souls and.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Their families that were affected by this.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Never should happen, and certainly the three service members, the
three soldiers, a young captain, staff sergeant and CW two
Chief Warrant officer. Routine annual retraining of night flights on
a standard corridor for a continuity of government mission. The
military does dangerous things, it does routine things on the
(27:31):
regular basis. Tragically, last night a mistake was made, and
I think the President is right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
There was some sort of an.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Elevation issue that we have immediately begun investigating at the
DoD and Army level.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
ARMYCID is on the ground investigating.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Top tier aviation assets inside the DoD are investigating, Sir.
To get to the bottom of it so that it
does not happen again, because it's absolutely unaccepted.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That transparency is extraordinary, and I think it needs to continue.
And there you heard him say that there was an
elevation issue, that a mistake was made, And this is
what leads me to believe that, yeah, the Blackhawk was
at the wrong elevation, that something went wrong in that cockpit.
We don't know what it is yet, but something went wrong,
and my sense is the pilots and the crew chief
(28:22):
probably we're trying to rectify that when the worst happened.
But Pete said something else that people on social media
have been kind of really curious about. Pete said that
the chopper involved in the DC craft was on a
continuity of government mission, so a continuity of government mission
(28:43):
what they call COG. Let me just give you a
quick breakdown of what this is. The primary aim of
a continuity of government mission is to ensure that the
essential functions of the US government continue in the event
of a catastrophic event like nuclear war, natural disasters, significant
terrorist attacks. These types of missions ensure the preservation of
(29:08):
constitutional form of government and the continuity of essential federal
operations without interruptions. So key elements of a continuity of
government mission involves like several critical components, but succession, delegation
of authority, safekeeping of resources, emergency operating capabilities, I mean,
all of this stuff. So that's the mission that they
(29:28):
were operating. And you know, they run these drills all
the time in and around Washington, d C. To ensure
that if you know, you know, what hits the fan,
they can react and know exactly what to do and
have all of these key elements of that mission, you know,
almost on autopilot if the worst happens. These people already
know their tasks and they they train on this to
(29:51):
make sure that if the worst happens, they're ready. But
all the while, while this is going on, you see
the Trumpet administration embracing a form of radical transparency. The
the Democrats, folks, they're just completely lost. They clearly don't
(30:15):
understand why they lost the election. They clearly don't understand
what the American people need at this critical moment. They
don't understand that, you know, calling people hitler just louder
it isn't gonna work. It didn't work the last time,
(30:37):
it ain't gonna work this time. Right, But they seem
to be going all in on this crazy doubling down
on the stupid, and I say good, because that means
they're gonna continue to lose and midterms will be here
before you know it. And I'd like to know, expand
our majority in the Senate. I'd like to expand our
(30:58):
majority in the House. I'd like to do every thing
that we can to further marginalize the Democrat Party, especially
when the media is as weak as they are and
the Democrats are leaderless and off message and don't have
any idea of why they got their asses kicked this year.
But nothing encapsulates the Democrats just being woefully out of touch,
(31:20):
I think, more than these limousine liberals, which, by the way,
the Democrat Party seems to be made up of nothing
but elites. Anymore, elites in the media, you know, big
tech oligarchs, even though they've come and kissed the ring
of President Trump, so make sure President Trump doesn't go
(31:41):
after them. Most of these social media oligarchs are still
big lefties. Most of the contribution of these social media
companies still go to leftists, you know, academia, Ivory Tower academics,
all crazy leftists, all these people are insanely out of
touch with Americans day to day needs. But I also
(32:03):
think that they're they're just racist and they don't even
know it. Listen to this exchange, I mean, this blew
me away. But listen to this exchange on CNN between
Scott Jennings, who I think is the only person on
CNN keeping that that that network and float at all.
But this Democrat consultant talking about, you know, deporting illegal
(32:26):
aliens and and this just just just listen to this craziness.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
That if you are trying to actively hire illegal immigrants,
if you think that's best, if you are trying to
gain the system, if you were trying to help someone
break US federal immigration law. I think if we're going
to have a true crackdown on illegal immigration in this country,
it has to involve everybody who's participating in it. And
I think you've raised a good point with this topic,
and so employers and anyone else who's part of this pipeline,
(32:55):
I think I think they ought to be put on
notice and you got to play by the rule. Everybody
has to playboy the way.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
I don't want to hear that they're doing work that
no one else will do.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Talk to guys in the building trades, plumbers, contractors picking strawberries.
These building trades guys are being are being hurt. I
can't wait. Maybe I shouldn't be here.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
I can't wait until American women can't get blueberries for
their smoothies. I cannot wait until there is a full
crackdown on all small businesses. As if that's going to
be the solution to the immigration problem.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I honestly cannot believe. I still that. I just can't
the American women can't get blueberries. Really, so, deporting America's
illegal aliens, criminals, starting out with violent criminals, many of
(33:51):
whom are associated with the cartels, is so offensive to
you that you immediately go to, but who's going to
pick or cross, who's going to who's going to who's
going to do the surf labor in America for us?
If we deport these criminals. The fact that they're making,
(34:13):
you know, dire economic predictions because of the deportation of
at this point, only a few thousand of the worst
of the worst criminals just shows you that they don't
understand how our economy works. Never mind the fact that
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama deported millions of illegal aliens.
(34:35):
You never heard boo from the media at all when
they were doing it. But Trump is deporting gang members, criminals,
people that are affiliated with drug cartels. And this is
how members and Democrats are acting. But how will women
get blueberries in their smoothings? Smoothies? Are you kidding me?
(34:56):
Could you be more out of touch with reality? I'm
telling you, folks. And look, Pete mentioned last night. Another
big story that broke last night after the show was
that Trump was talking about sending opening up a facility
on Guantanamo Bay, a thirty thousand bed facility for these
illegal alien criminals to be deported to. Many of the
(35:21):
people that would go and by the way, these beds
are not affiliated. There's not going to be co mingling
between you know, Islamic terrorists that were captured in the
battlefield and these illegal aliens and these criminals. But many
of the people that would be deported to Guantanamo Bay,
to Guantanamo Bay, to this facility. Obviously they're criminals, but
(35:44):
many of them that we were removing from our shores
are members of the cartel who would one hundred percent
the moment that the moment that America starts taking the
fight in a kinetic way to these cartels. If they
are here on US soil, whether they're in our prison
system or out on the streets, they represent a danger
(36:09):
to our country. And by the way, Bill Clinton also
sent illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay, so even this isn't
historically unprecedented. Democrats have done this as well. But you
don't hear the media complaining when Democrats do it. But like, look,
(36:29):
check you want to talk about the Democrats being completely
out of touch with reality, look at this picture the
Senate Democrats share it of Cash Battel. Now, this is Cashptel, who,
by the way, you know Cash Battel. Cash Battel is
a friend of mine. We've had Cash Battel on this show,
I think three times. What you're looking at here is
(36:50):
a picture of Cash Battel holding a rock with Adam
Schift's picture on it and a backwards hat on the rock,
smiling in front of a catapult and a castle. Clearly
he's joking, but the Senate Judiciary Dems from their official
Twitter says Cashpitel. Donald Trump's pick for FBI director shared
(37:15):
a video launching a United States senator out of a catapult,
imposed with it. An unapologetic extremist a video that this says,
shared a video launching a United States senator out of
a catapult and posed with it. He is not literally
(37:35):
launching Adam Schiff in a catapult over the walls, as
that tweet would have you believe. It is a picture
where Adam Shift looks like a moron, which he usually does,
of him clearly joking around. But this is These are
the kinds of arguments the Democrats are making in lead
up to this man's confirmation for FBI director. I mean,
(37:59):
don't you think that that is a fundamentally unserious argument.
American people see it and they think these people are
full of shit, and they are Or how about this? Now?
This is a journalist Susan Glasser responding to Pete Hegseth
(38:21):
ordering General Millie's pictures taken down in the Pentagon Now,
she says, pulling down of portraits enforced erasing of the
past is a reminder check your twentieth century history about
what kind of regimes do this stuff? Where was Susan
for the last ten years where the left did nothing
(38:44):
but removed statues of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert E. Lee,
Confederate statues that ties to the Civil War, the reminder
of the horror of the Civil War. Whatever, where were
these people where everyone in a America was watching with
wide eyes thinking like, oh my god, this is crazy.
Where these democrats are doing nothing but erasing our history. Really,
(39:07):
you want to remove statues of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt,
and statues of George Washington, any trace to our founding
democrats want to remove. But only now that we remove
a portrait from a Pentagon of a man who betrayed
this country and undermined the chain of command and did
nothing but lose wars his entire career. You draw the
(39:30):
line at a guy like that. This is another amazing one.
Look at this. Did you see the story about New
York Magazine. I'm gonna zoom in on the picture for you.
Just said, now look at the white outline here it
said the Cruel Kids Table. Now, if you're just listening,
I encourage you to come on over to the video
(39:50):
platform of the show, cause you get access to cool
stuff like this. But the Cruel Kids Table New York Magazine,
Now New York magazine has been one of the most
one of the the most ridiculous media outlets in the
country period that led the way in the smearing of
many of Trump's cabinet nominees Pete Hexeth and others. You know,
(40:12):
others included. But here here's the cover of their magazine,
the Cruel Kids table out late with the Young Right
as they contemplate cultural domination. Now look at the white outline.
Nothing but what they're trying to communicate here is nothing
but white people young push a white supremacist narrative. But
(40:37):
the guy C. J. Pearson, the guy who actually hosted
the party, was a young black conservative. And look on
the outside of this photo the New York magazine. These
journalists cut all the people of color, all the black
people out of the photo. Folks, it's because these democrats
have nothing to offer, and in their heart of hearts
(41:00):
are racist as hell. It's all they have is dividing
people among race, dividing people among socioeconomic status, dividing people
among religion, dividing people among age. But I am telling
you that the American people see through this insanity. And
(41:27):
so this brings me to Cash Batel and his opening
statement now Cashpatel when it's give you my thoughts, I
think that cash Battel is going to be confirmed. I
think that cash Battel is one of the top two
or three cabinet level appointments that are just critical that
(41:52):
he gets appointed. The reason for that is and again
I know Cashptel well had him on the show. I
consider the guy a friend. He is wholly dedicated to
the Constitution. He completely exposed the Russia collusion hoax in
(42:13):
everybody who was involved, every Democrat and Republican by the way,
who was involved in that. He was the lead investigator
when he worked for Devin Nunez on that, and he
completely embarrassed the people that pushed the Russia collusion hoax
for years. And that is why people like Adam Schiff
opposed cash Betel's assent to the FBI director. He loves
(42:36):
the Constitution. He's loyal to the Constitution. He's loyal to
the agent who want to uphold the Constitution. He rejects
holy political and partisan investigations. We don't live in a
country where that's permissible, and it never should have been permissible,
only under the Democrats, and that Biden administration was that
(42:56):
ever permissible, and now remind every buy that the American
people and the lead up to the election, thought that
the Democrats were the greater threat to democracy, precisely because
of the insane hoaxes and lawfair that they waged against
not just Trump, but Republicans. This is why they opposed
(43:16):
Cash Battel. He's a disruptor like Pete Hegseth. He's a
disruptor like RFK. He's a disruptor like Tulsi. These people
don't toe the line with traditional Republican or Democrat views.
Actually what I would call the uniparty. They're disruptors, and
(43:38):
disruptors make people afraid. But listen to a little bit
of Cashptel's opening statement. He'd put on a master's class
during this hearing. And I want to make sure that
we give credit where credit is due.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
The recent terrorist attacks in New Orleans tragically claimed the
lives of fourteen as Americans and serve as a stark
reminder that our national security is at threat both internally
and externally. The FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in
the Department of Justice, where I served, play a pivotal
role in securing our freedoms and our safeties for American citizens.
(44:10):
If confirmed as the next FBI director, I will remain
focused on the FBI's core mission, that is to investigate
fully wherever there is a constitutional factual basis to do so,
and to never make a prosecutorial decision that is solely
the providence of the Department of Justice in the Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Rigorous adherence to the Constitution is something that defines cash
Betel's entire career. He was a public defender. He worked
in the Obama Justice Department. Way do you hear the
SoundBite between him and the Senator from Minnesota, Amy Klobasher.
He's been in every hellhole in the entire world, fighting
(44:57):
for America's freedoms, going after our Kaida and some of
the worst terrorists on the planet. He was awarded by
Loretta Lynch, a Democrat Attorney General, for his work hunting
down terrorists in this country. Cash Battel is eminently qualified,
and frankly, him being a public defender I think makes
(45:19):
him uniquely qualified for this job. He represented some of
the worst people on the face of the planet. Yes,
but he understands the importance of due process and how
due process must if it doesn't apply to the worst
of us. It doesn't apply to any of us. And
I think that perspective makes him uniquely qualified for this job.
(45:42):
I oh, by the way, he's like the first person
of color to ever hold the job. So of course
racist democrats would do nothing but oppose him. But listen
to this exchange between Amy Klobasher and Cash Battel again,
Master's class by Cash. Before I call on.
Speaker 8 (46:01):
Could you just answer the question if he said that
the FBI headquarters where they investigate cybercrime and terrorism shut
down and open as a deep stack the museum. Did
he say that the headquarters should be shut down? Mister Chair,
deserve an answer to that question. He is asking to
be head of the FBI, and he said that their
headquarters should be shut down.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Mister Chair, Parliamentary Inquiry.
Speaker 9 (46:24):
You've got anything you want to say, mister Prattail before
I go on to senat rely, simply.
Speaker 6 (46:29):
This, if the best attacks on me are going to
be false accusations and grotestue mischaracterizations, the only thing this
body is doing is defeating the credibility of the men
and women at the FBI.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
I stood with them.
Speaker 6 (46:41):
Here in this country in every theater of war, we have.
I was on the ground in service of this nation,
and any accusations leveled against me that I would somehow
put political bias before the constitution are grotesquely unfair. And
I will have you reminded that I have been endorsed
by over three hundred thousand law enforcement officers to become
(47:02):
the next director of the FBI.
Speaker 8 (47:03):
Let's ask them, mister Chairman, I am quoting his own
words from September of twenty twenty four. It is his
own words. It is not some conspiracy. It is what
mister Patel actually said himself.
Speaker 9 (47:18):
Fax matter, you'll forget that you had three minutes in
the next round to say what you just said.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Okay, I'll say him again. Okay. If Cash Pattel this
was about this line of questioning by Amy Klobasher was
about closing the ja ed Gar Hoover FBI building in Washington,
d C. If the President of the United States elected
in a mandate by the American people to reform our government,
(47:45):
that's why he was elected, to be a disruptor and
to appoint disruptors in his cabinet. If the commander in
chief of the United States, working on behalf of the
American people appoints an FBI director in Cash Battel, and
they both agree that the j. Edgar Hoover Building should
be shut down and the FBI should be decentralized because
Cash But what cash Betel said was, I want these
(48:08):
agents in towns and cities all across America doing what
they do best, keeping the American people safe, hunting down criminals,
get the FBI away from corrupt the corrupt swamp that
is Washington, d C. That's what Cash Battel is saying.
(48:29):
And if they want to do that, then that's their prerogative.
I'm not not saying cash Battel is going to do it.
But if President Trump and and soon to be Director
Patel want to shut down the Jugar Hoover Building because
they believe it's bad for America and because they were
you know Trump. President Trump is elected with a mandate
(48:49):
from the American people, and cash Hotel appointed with that
same mandate, then is the not Is that not their prerogative?
When did the Democrats because such government boot liquors. When
did the Democrats become pro FBI? When did the Democrats
become pro war? I didn't expect that script to flip
(49:11):
in my lifetime. All my life, the Democrats have been
the party of anti war, the party that questioned the FBI.
Hell in the sixties, if the government told you to
eat white bread, the Democrats will tell you to eat
wheat bread. I mean, the Democrats were the opposite of
They didn't trust in the government at all. But now they
(49:35):
just believe that the least critical political party critically if
they don't critically think at all, I mean, that's a
scary thing. Something else that jumped out to me during
the hearing was Marshall Blackburn, Senator from Tennessee to cash Betel.
(49:56):
This is a big one, and this is also why
I believe that they are opposing his nomination vehemently. This
was a contentious hearing, but listen if.
Speaker 10 (50:07):
I want to talk to you about the Epstein case.
I have worked on this for years, trying to get
those records of who flew on Epstein's plane and who
helped him build this international human trafficking sex trafficking ring.
Now earlier, I urged then Chairman Durbin to subpoena those records,
(50:31):
and I ended up being blocked by Senator Durbin and
Christopher Ray a stonewalled on this, and I know that
breaking up these trafficking rings is important to President Trump.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
So will you work.
Speaker 10 (50:46):
With me on this issue so we know who worked
with Jeffrey Epstein in building these sex trafficking rings.
Speaker 6 (50:55):
Absolutely, Senator, child sex trafficking has no place in the
United States of America, and I will do everything, if
confirmed as FBI Director, to make sure the American public
knows the full weight of what happened in the past.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh, I guess the first thing that jumps to mine there,
as Senator Blackburn was speaking, is why is Senator Durbin
blocking that list from being released? I mean, anythink that's curious.
(51:29):
I mean, the horrors that Jeffrey Epstein perpetrated on his
victims and all of the elites who were involved in that,
don't we have a right as Americans to know? I
think we do. I also think that's why all of
the many of these senators don't want the Epstein flight
(51:50):
logs and the Epstein list to be released. Why block
the list, Senator Durbin makes no sense to me. Okay,
let's get to Tulsie, because oh my god, the show
is flying by. This is ridiculous. It's fifty three minutes
past the hour. This is crazy. This is crazy. Okay,
Taulsi's opening was awesome. She too, like Cash, like RFK Junior,
(52:11):
were treated ridiculous by these I mean, these Democrats senators
are so stupid it's exhausting. But Tulsi's opening statement on point.
Speaker 11 (52:19):
American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once,
but twice, and yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were
politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency and falsely
portray him as a puppet of putin Correct. Title one
of FAIZA was used illegally to obtain a warrant to
spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, using a Clinton
(52:40):
campaign funded false dossier as their so called evidence.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (52:45):
Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the
fifty one former senior intelligence officials letter dismissing Hunter Biden's
laptop as disinformation, specifically to help Biden win the election.
Speaker 2 (52:59):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (53:00):
Former d and I James Clapper lied to this committee
in twenty thirteen denying the existence of programs that facilitated
the mass collection of millions of Americans phone and internet records.
Yet was never held accountable.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (53:13):
Under John Brennan's leadership, the CIA abused its power to
spy on Congress to dodge oversight, lied about doing it
until he was caught, and yet has never been held responsible.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (53:25):
Under Biden, the FBI abused its power for political reasons
to try to surveil Catholics who attend traditional Latin mass
labeling them as quote unquote radical traditionalist Catholics. Personally, just
twenty four hours after Chris size Kamala Harris and her nomination,
I was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list
called Quiet Skies. Sadly there are more examples. The bottom
(53:49):
line is this, this must end.
Speaker 2 (53:53):
All correct and battle crew. That opening statement is extly
why the uniparty is afraid of TALLSI Gabbard. She like
Cash Battel, know where all of the bodies are buried.
They know where every corrupt politician, They know how every
(54:20):
corrupt politician was involved in every single one of these oakses.
Taulsi Gabbard, Cash Battel completely will unravel this cabal of
corruption in the four short years that Trump is in office.
I have no doubt about that. And her opening statement
is precisely why they oppose her one hundred. It's just
(54:43):
that simple. Okay. Listen, I got a couple other sound
bites to show you before the end of the show.
If I go over, it's fine. But while I'm talking,
make sure you smash that like button, that little gray
thumb beneath the videos. Smash it, turn it green. The
goal is to always try to hit four hundred like
before the end of the show, because that seems to
be the threshold to get us on the leader board.
(55:04):
So smash that like button helps the show immensely. Okay. Now,
let me just shift gears to RFK because he called
out Bernie Sanders in the most amazing way. Yesterday. Savage
Rich and I made the point that Elizabeth Warren took
over five million dollars and farm of money from Big Farmer,
Bernie Sanders took over one point five million. Bernie Sanders
has taken a ton of money from Big Pharma, yet
(55:27):
he pretends that he opposes Big Pharma. The guy's a
complete joke. But RFK called him out in the most
amazing way today, And I'd be remiss if if we
didn't show this.
Speaker 9 (55:37):
Care system is broken, and it's broken for some of
the reasons the mister Kennedy indicated, we have not paid
attention to the fact that we have massive amounts of
chronic disease. We have not answered the question why, in
the richest country in the history of the world, our
life expectancy is lower than it is in countries far poorer.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Than we all.
Speaker 9 (56:00):
So, I think in many ways, President Trump and mister
Kennedy have asked some of the right questions. Problem is,
their answers will only make a bad situation worse. So
let me ask mister Kennedy again, if we want to
make America healthy, will you assure the American people that
(56:22):
you will fight to do what every other major country
on Earth does. Guarantee healthcare to every single American.
Speaker 1 (56:30):
I'm going to make America healthier than other countries in
the world right now, will.
Speaker 9 (56:35):
You guarantee do what every other major country does.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
That's a simple question. And by the way, Bernie, you know,
the problem of corruption is not just in the federal ags,
is in Congress too. Almost all the members of this
panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars
from the pharmaceutical industry their interests.
Speaker 9 (56:58):
Oh I thought that that would No. I ran for
president like you. I got millions of millions of contributions.
Speaker 6 (57:08):
They did not come from.
Speaker 9 (57:09):
The executives, not one nickel of pack money from the pharmaceuticals,
and they.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
Came from twenty twenty. In twenty twenty, you were these
single largest.
Speaker 9 (57:19):
Because I had Parma combinations from workers all.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
Over this country.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Workers you were not from, not a nickel from corporate.
It was the single largest pharmaceutical dollars from workers in.
Speaker 9 (57:35):
Five million, yeah, out of two hundred millions.
Speaker 12 (57:38):
All Right, you see how red Bertie Sanders face got man,
that was RFK great job.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
I mean these that was amazing, and you see Bertie
Sanders Oh no, no, no, like love to see it. Okay, listen,
I got one more thing to talk to you about,
and it's Menndez. I got to show you this juxtaposition
of these two videos I think cobble together by the
Great Mays More. Okay, So last thing I know, I'm
(58:13):
about to go over a little bit. I think it's okay.
But Bob Menendez, senator from New Jersey, corrupt Democrat senator
from New Jersey, who is like taking gold bars from Egypt,
totally guilty of bribery, voted to impeach President Trump twice
or actually voted to convict President Trump and the Senate's twice.
So this guy would have sent President Trump to jail
one hundred percent, no doubt about it. He seems to
(58:34):
have had a change of tune though, now that he's
been sentenced to eleven years behind bars at seventy one
years old. Just just listen to the two Bobby menendezes.
Speaker 13 (58:43):
Deserve to know who they elected to be their president.
They deserve to know if he's in fact putting America's
interests first. They deserve to know if Donald Trump is
wittingly or unwittingly an agent for the Russian Federation.
Speaker 3 (59:01):
President Trump is right.
Speaker 14 (59:03):
This process is political and it's corrupted to the cliff.
I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores
the integrity to the system.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
For you, somebody wants a party here you have Menendez
calling Trump a Russian asset, whether willingly or not, when
that dude himself was an asset of a government that
(59:37):
is hostile to America. These politicians are the absolute worst. Oh,
President Trump was right. I hope he cleans things up
because this process was political. Read between the lines. Please
give me a pardon President Trump what he's doing before
(59:59):
we get out of here. I gotta thank Jen Uh.
Jen says Trump is pissed, he has he has clean
up all these dem messes and who cares about the media.
And I completely agree and I think the American people
will agree with you. Jen. Thank you for the Rumble
rant tip. As always, folks, guess what Tomorrow Tomorrow, Tomorrow, tomorrow,
We've got the great Brian Dean right on deck for

(01:01:08):
and I will see you tomorrow Friday Night for Right
Night with Brian Dean Wright
Warning Europe down to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save America with your host Sean Parnell.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the
show where we kick ass, and we take names, and
we lock horns with the radical left. We never quit,
we never surrender. From sea to shining Sea and everybody
in between. Welcome Patriots on this glorious, glorious Thursday. It
(00:35):
is a great, great day, but also a tragic one
in so many ways. I late last night. We've got
a lot to talk about today, a lot, but I
would be remiss if we didn't kick off the show
talking about this horrible air disaster down in Washington, DC
(00:57):
at DCA Reagan National Airport. I have flown into that
airport more times than I can count, and last night
a UH sixty Blackhawk helicopter crashed into a CRJ passenger
commuter airline. I'm sure many of you all have been
following the story from last night and into the day today,
(01:22):
and I was just horrified by it all. And the
questions that were on the forefront of my mind was
how could something like this happened? That was just It's
just what I kept asking myself over and over again,
you know, how does a Blackhawk helicopter crash into a jet?
(01:42):
And especially as it was landing and Reagan Airport, I
think is probably has some of the highest air traffic
in the country, maybe the highest air traffic in the country.
And Blackhawks. You know, as I thought through all of this,
(02:05):
Blackhawks are damn hard to see at night. They're real
hard to see at night, and they're a tactical aircraft.
They're made precisely to be difficult to see at night
outside of you know, some flashing, very dull flashing lights.
Black Hawk pilots. Obviously, I'm a ground pounding infantry guy.
(02:25):
I spend all of my time in the trenches front
towards enemy. But I've done quite a bit of flying
in a black Hawk and what they would call air
assault missions in a black Hawk helicopter. And when you
do that, you get to know the aircrews, you get
to know the pilots, you get to know the aircraft.
(02:46):
You know, not well enough to fly the damn thing,
but you get to know some of what they call
the tactics, techniques and procedures of how the pilots interact
with a crew chief and crew chief interact with the pilots.
And I'll tell you you at night, nighttime flying or
nighttime missions are are extremely difficult. Obviously they're under night vision,
(03:07):
but the pilots have a real difficult time seeing and
they rely on the crew chief in the aircraft to
talk to them about what's around the aircraft, the proximity
of other aircraft, information, you know, potential flight hazards along
the way. The crew chief is always poking his head
(03:27):
out of the aircraft looking around for things like that,
and then a crew chief over the radio relays that
information to the pilots. But in very chaotic circumstances like
the one at DCA Reagan International Airport. And I'll talk
to you a little bit about the mission that this
Blackhawk helicopter is on here in a second. The radio
(03:50):
traffic in the air, traffic in and around DCA is crazy.
I mean, it's just overwhelming. There's all sorts of radio
traffic that isn't traditionally. You know, these Blackhawk crews they're
training in and around the DC area, so maybe they
are familiar with it, but there's a hell of a
lot more radio traffic in and around the DC area
(04:11):
than there would be in maybe other places. And I
could foresee a scenario where the crew chief was not
out of the aircraft what they would say, out of
the aircraft looking around for hazards, but in the aircraft,
maybe monitoring hydraulic gauges, fuel gauges, pilots doing the same thing.
I don't know, but clearly there was an issue, and
(04:32):
we don't know what that issue is. It's very important
for me for me to say that I don't know
what the issue was, but clearly there was a catastrophic
air made on the Blackhawk helicopter because at the time
of the impact with the CRJ now, the jet was
on its approach. It was on its track, the track
(04:56):
that almost every flight makes when it comes into DCA.
So the that was kind of almost they're not an autopilot,
it's the wrong term, but the jet, the jet was
flying on its track and the Blackhawk was at the
wrong elevations. Clearly something was wrong. We don't know what
that is yet, but I'll tell you I am I'm
(05:17):
heartbroken for you know, the sixty four souls that were
on that aircraft, many of whom were the you know,
developmental US figure skating team, young kids, teenagers, some of
their coaches, their families. Coming from Wichita, Kansas. I watched
(05:38):
some of the interviews with family members of those who
had loved ones on that plane, and my heart just
breaks for them. And I'm reminded, you know, when you
go to combat and you experience what I experienced, or
what many American men and women who put the uniform
on experience in combat, you realize just how fragile life is.
(06:01):
You realize that none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. And
I can hear the pain and these parents and these
and these spouses, husbands voices when they talk about their
their loved ones on that airplane, and it's just it's
just tragic in so so many ways. And I think
(06:22):
that was the reason, you know, the media immediately went
after Donald Trump last night. I don't know if any
of you all are paying attention, but man, let me
tell you I was very very closely paying attention to
everything that unfolded last night in media narratives that were
building out of it. And I'll tell you you know,
Abby Phillips and folks on CNN, they did not waste
any time trying to tie this horrific accident to President Trump,
(06:44):
you know, removing some FAA chair or some committees, some
bullshit you know that happened, that would have not even
been close to, you know, having any effect on the
accident that happened that night. You know, immediately the left
and the Democrats were politicizing it right away, trying to
blame President Trump for it. Even some elected members of
(07:05):
Congress did that as well. They were still pulling bodies
out of the Potomac, and Democrats were already trying to
politicize it. That's how ghoulish and sick they are. But
many people are attacking President Trump today because I can
tell you know, what I appreciate about President Trump is
(07:26):
that last night he was putting on truth social many
of the same questions that I had, and some people,
like some people might not like that, but I actually
appreciate the transparency that he's a human being just like
the rest of us, processing this horrifying accident and putting
his questions out there publicly, like, hey, I'm the President
of the United States, and yeah, America, if you have
(07:46):
these questions, so do I. In other words, translation, we're
going to get to the bottom of this stuff. You know,
some of the media attack him for that. I actually
appreciate it. And many in the media are now attacking
President Trump relentlessly today because during his press conference, President
(08:07):
Trump went after diversity, equity, and inclusion and said very
clearly that DEI could have played a role in this.
And that is unequivocally true. Okay, Obviously, anyone with half
of a brain in their head knows that there are
a litany of other things, a constellation of other things
(08:30):
that could lead that could and were likely a part
of an accident like this. But this DEI insanity that
Pete Boudagag and the Biden administration pushed on many of
American America's institutions. But the FAA as well, let me
(08:51):
just tell you the FAA was one of the most
egregious offenders of race based hiring practices. And just go
back and look. Just search on Google or you're a
preferred search engine. You know FAA recruiting people with intellectual
and psychological or psychiatric disabilities. Look look this up for yourself. Uh,
(09:16):
there is a there is a lawsuit that was leveled
against the FAA. Turning aside, you know, thousands of qualified
applications because they weren't diverse enough. You know, the air
traffic controllers at c s in the FAA had these
ridiculous diversity quotas that they had to adhere to, and
(09:38):
because of those diversity quotas, they turned aside thousands of
qualified people for jobs that Now, now, what did that?
Would that make a difference? You know, I think overall
probably makes the errors a little bit safer, make make
our country in the airspace in America a little bit
safer to fly because you have the best and brightest
in those roles and you're not filling pointless diversit quotas,
(10:02):
and you know, these orders. You know, the media can't
seem to wrap their minds around this. But these DEI policies,
you know, well, there's I guarantee you there are certainly
there's probably human error involved in this and some other
things as well. But these DEI policies that were put
in place years ago have second and third order effects
(10:24):
that cascade downward into air traffic control centers all around America.
And the question is always do we have our best
and brightest in those positions? Look, battle crew, I'm coming
over to the live chat AM I off base on
(10:47):
this answer that question for me? Am I off base
on this? Am I wrong to cite this as a
factor a possibility for an accident like this? And my
second question to you all battle crew, do we want
(11:12):
the best in the brightest in these positions air traffic
control or doctors in the military. Should all every position
in our federal government be merit based in color blind?
I happen to think yes. You know, I believe strongly
(11:38):
that we should judge people by the content of their
character and the color of and not the color of
their skin, and how they perform in certain issues. Are
they the best? Are they Are they the smartest, Are
they the biggest? Are they the fastest? Are they the
most qualified for that job? And Look, the media does
(11:59):
not like this. They do not like that Trump brought
this up. President Trump brought this up right away. But
he's right about this. He is right about this. And
today at four point fifteen Eastern Standard time thereabouts, Trump
signed in an executive order to investigate DEI policies implemented
(12:23):
by Biden in the FAA after the plane crash. Look, folks,
the reason why this is important is because Trump is
clearly pissed off that sixty four plus people lost their
lives and three soldiers lost their lives in an accident,
(12:44):
that accidents are by definition preventable, and my heart breaks
for those families, and I think Trump is angry for
them and also has a responsibility. If DEI was a
part of this, if if these ridiculous race based quotas
(13:06):
were a part of this, where we're not getting the
best and the brightest in these jobs. Should the President
not confront these issues head on? I think he should.
I think he should confront these issues head on. And
so that brings me to where we are with Pete
(13:27):
hag Seth and the d D and how they're reacting
to all this. There's so much news that broke last night.
I'm gonna try to get to all of it today,
but there's just so much going on. Like the Cash
Hotel hearing was today, the RFK second hearing was today,
Tulsey Gabbard's hearing was today. There's so much going on.
(13:49):
I'm gonna try to get to all of it, but
make sure, first of all, it kind of just been
rolling from the top of the show here. Make sure
you smash that like button, the little gray thumb beneath
the videos turn it green for me. It's how we
make the leaderboard every single day, and you all, the
battle Crew do a great job of doing that. And
I also missed thanking a loyal viewer yesterday for a
(14:15):
rumble rant tip that she left. Lady Sunfire, you left
a tip yesterday and I forgot to thank you, But
thank you today. I always try to thank everybody, even
sometimes I'll get the notification of the flag from an
Cindy after I've already logged off. When that happens, I
always try to get you the next day. So don't fret,
(14:36):
battle Crew, not that you would, but I thanking you
all is a very, very very important part of this
show because you all are just This show is yours, okay.
Steel Woman also thank you for the rumble rant tip.
Steel Woman says, Battle Crew, please write and call your
senators and tell them these nominees must get through. Trump
(14:56):
is a mandate and a right to his team. Rat
Bastard dems the best audience in the world. Hammerhead, thank
you for the rumble rant tip. My friend. Hammerhead is
an og member of the battle Crew, as is steel
Woman says, for beer with beer emojis and hair gel.
(15:18):
Thank you, Hammerhead. But I think look at this, I
think I'm good on hair gel. And by the way,
and by the way, you see the flannel that I'm wearing.
Everybody orange flannel today, so I've got lots of different flannel.
This is my favorite shirt company. They have nothing to
do with sponsoring the show. I haven't asked them, but
these poncho shirts, they're the best orange flannel for today
(15:40):
because it's cold in the studio and it's still winter
out and in the winter, I wear flannel. I do
not drive a Subaru, and I do not wear Lululemon
like Savage Rich, although people have been writing to me
since the show yesterday and saying Lulu Lemon's actually comfortable
and I should it a try. So maybe, just maybe
(16:04):
I will try a Lululemon hoodie, but only on a
trial basis. I will not, I repeat, I will not
drive a Super U. I'm just not gonna do it. Also,
quick shout out to my buddy Dan Nunn and his
nun Chucks for rating the stream today. I see you
(16:25):
in the chat. Lucky to have you. Everybody should go
follow the Nun report. He's got a great show that
he does, and Dan Nunn is a patriot that if
you're not following the Nun Report, definitely follow him today. Okay,
So the title of the episode is Transparency is the Objective.
(16:46):
And I got a text message from, you know, one
of my buddies, who is who is a Democrat. He's
a moderate Democrat, but a Democrat, and he said to me,
you know, I don't always agree with Trump, but he
has done more press briefings in the last week and
a half, almost two weeks now, than Biden has done
(17:08):
in four years. And he's absolutely right. The reason why
I'm saying this is that if this moderate Democrat, my
friend who's a moderate Democrat is noticing this, the American
people also notice this, and they also appreciate the transparency
they just do. This is Trump's style, clearly, but I
(17:31):
believe it's also a strategy, you know, battle crew. This
second Trump presidency, a couple things are happening. Faith in
the media, traditional corporate media is at an all time low.
They are the weakest that they've ever been. So it
(17:53):
makes sense to go straight to the American people with
your message. Just don't allow your message to be tainted
or shown through the dirt crusted window of the corporate media.
They just lie. They have nothing but lies in hoaxes.
If there was one takeaway from any of these hearings,
(18:16):
which by the way, listening to these hearings has just
been exhausting because these democrats, I have to tell you,
these democrats don't really care about you know, how Cash
is going to run the FBI, how RFK is going
to run AHHS, or how Tallsey is going to be
you know, the chief Intel Officer. I mean, they don't
(18:37):
really care about that stuff. They'd rather assassinate their character
and make up false allegations about them and all the rest.
They're really doing a disservice to the American people. However,
this Trump administration and the cabinet nominees who have been
confirmed have been locked on point and are taking their
message to the American people. And I'm telling you this
(19:00):
is very, very smart and a vast departure from the
Biden administration that was completely and totally fake the entire time.
So here's Pete Hegseth in the Pentagon, in the Secretary
of Defense's office behind General Pershing's desk, which that's the
sect has Pershing's old desk, taking his message directly to
(19:24):
the American people. I can't tell you, I don't know
that in my lifetime anything like this has ever happened.
But I love it and I want to see more of.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
It, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Update this morning, just got off the phone with the
self com Commander and the Chairman the Joint Chiefs talking
about our efforts at gouatanam Obey that is ongoing. We're
leaning forward and supporting the President's directed to make sure
that we have a location for violent criminal illegals as
they are deported out of the country. No one's going
(19:56):
to wait in the Defense Department, and we're working that
in real time. But I also wanted to give an
update on the tragedy that happened last night here in Washington,
d C. And provide a little bit more information as
we are actively working to investigate.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And understand what occurred and why.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
At about eight forty eight last night, a UH sixty
assigned to the US Army Aviation Brigade in the Military
District of Washington Fort Belvoir, Virginia, collided tragically with a
civilian airliner. The unit involved, the Army unit involved with
Bravo Company, twelfth Aviation Battalion at Fort Belvoir. It was
(20:34):
an annual proficiency training flight. And when we look at
the crew and we're not all not all kin have
been notified, so we're going to withhold ranks and names
at this point.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
We do know on our side who was involved.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
It was a fairly experienced crew and that was doing
a required annual night evaluation. They did have night vision goggles.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
The twelve Aviation Battalion.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
As of now, it's granted a forty eight hour operational
pause on contingency missions as what happened is reviewed, and
a senior level aviation team, an investigative team from our
Aviation Safety Center who's deployed last night. It already is
in Washington, DC to investigate what's going on. We anticipate
that the investigation will quickly be able to determine whether
(21:22):
the aircraft was in the corridor and at the right
altitude at the time of the incident. As I mentioned,
next of kin notifications are ongoing. It's a tragedy, a
horrible loss of life for those sixty four souls on
that civilian airliner and of course the three soldiers in
that Blackhawk.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
They're in our prayers, they're.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Families and their communities as people are notified. I can't imagine,
and I know it's gone from a rescue mission to
a recovery mission. And we're with all the first responders
that are moving actively to so at the Defense Department,
our thoughts and prayers go out. We are actively investigating
to find out what happened and why, and as we
(22:04):
get updates, you will have them.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
God bless.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Listen. I can't tell you the last time that that's
been done, but a couple things. If we are to
gain trust back in our institutions, stuff like this has
to happen, has to happen often has to be an
(22:32):
embrace of radical transparency has to happen. Otherwise the American
people will continue to lack faith in their institution. Actually,
our faith in these institutions will continue to erode. I mean,
as I was watching that, I had on my mind,
(22:56):
you know, the juxtaposition of two different incidents, this horror
flying incident that happened last night at the in air
collision of the helicopter and the CRJ Jet aircraft passenger aircraft,
and the drone attack during the Afghan withdrawal now we
(23:17):
were told because I remember this like it was yesterday,
because you know, I was running for Senate. I was
I probably did you know seventy media hits a month
during the collapse of Afghanistan. I was just wired into everything.
I had buddies and friends on the ground that were
evacuating Americans because the Biden administration was just an abject
(23:40):
failure in every single way, leaving Americans behind. So I
had like two hats on. I was running for Senate
in the most important state in the country, and I
was helping doing everything I could to help evacuate people
on the ground and put people, you know, in contact
with the right people to get people out. And I
walked that's a report come out of the Pentagon of
(24:02):
a drone strike that supposedly killed a suicide bomber. And
I thought, man, that kind of seems really a suicide bomber.
I mean, just having somebody that having been somebody that
was on the ground and seeing how these drone strikes happened,
I thought to myself, why they got they did a
drone strike during this chaotic withdraw and they've already conducted
(24:29):
what you would call an ssee a sensitive site exploitation.
In other words, you go out to where the strike
happened and you do what's called a battle damage assessment,
and that takes time. You got to get people out
there on the ground, whether they're allies. I mean, that's
not preferable. You want to have Americans on the ground
to do battle damage assessments, but insensitive site exploitations. But
(24:49):
I thought, damn, that was pretty fast to be able
to call in a drone strike and then already back
in the Pentagon be able to report that, yes, it
was a suicide bomber, because you know, what kind of
how do you know it was a suicide bomber? What
explosives did he use? Like was their secondary explosives in
the blast? If you were released the drone strike video,
Like what was he driving? Was he wearing a suicide
(25:11):
vestor were the explosives packed in the car? I mean,
all of these were questions that I had in the moment,
And I have to admit that I was a little
suspicious of this story when it first came out and
Jen Griffin was reporting it, and of course she's a
Pentagon reporter for Fox. She's been doing this stuff for years,
and I was suspicious. But come to find out, you know,
(25:34):
a couple of weeks later, that that story was a
big lie, and they knew it was a lie from
the very beginning, and that drone strike did not kill
a suicide bomber, but it killed a bunch of Afghan children,
maybe an Afghan family who were caught up in the chaos.
(25:54):
But the first instinct of the Pentagon and the Pentagon
reporter who reported this should have asked tougher questions and
just not rely on propaganda fed to her from a
Defense Department official. I like, like, I'm sorry, but the
way that that went down was the opposite of transparency.
The only reason I'm telling you that, folks, it's at
(26:15):
that kind of stuff that completely destroys the faith and
trust that we have in our institutions, in this case,
the DoD and if we're to get it back at all,
has to be an embrace of radical transparency. And so
not only did hag Seth do this meeting from behind
the Sect Deaf's desk in the Pentagon, he was also
(26:39):
at the White House podium talk I mean, when was
the last I mean, I don't know, I don't know
for sure if Secretary of Austin ever did this. But
you don't often see the sect deaf at the White
House podium, at least I don't recall seeing the sect
deaf at the White House podium all that often. But
hag Seth was there as well. Listen, I would echo
it as well.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
No excuses.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
We first and foremost from the Defense Department want to
pass our condolences to the sixty four souls and.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Their families that were affected by this.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Never should happen, and certainly the three service members, the
three soldiers, a young captain, staff sergeant and CW two
Chief Warrant officer. Routine annual retraining of night flights on
a standard corridor for a continuity of government mission. The
military does dangerous things, it does routine things on the
(27:31):
regular basis. Tragically, last night a mistake was made, and
I think the President is right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
There was some sort of an.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Elevation issue that we have immediately begun investigating at the
DoD and Army level.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
ARMYCID is on the ground investigating.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Top tier aviation assets inside the DoD are investigating, Sir.
To get to the bottom of it so that it
does not happen again, because it's absolutely unaccepted.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That transparency is extraordinary, and I think it needs to continue.
And there you heard him say that there was an
elevation issue, that a mistake was made, And this is
what leads me to believe that, yeah, the Blackhawk was
at the wrong elevation, that something went wrong in that cockpit.
We don't know what it is yet, but something went wrong,
and my sense is the pilots and the crew chief
(28:22):
probably we're trying to rectify that when the worst happened.
But Pete said something else that people on social media
have been kind of really curious about. Pete said that
the chopper involved in the DC craft was on a
continuity of government mission, so a continuity of government mission
(28:43):
what they call COG. Let me just give you a
quick breakdown of what this is. The primary aim of
a continuity of government mission is to ensure that the
essential functions of the US government continue in the event
of a catastrophic event like nuclear war, natural disasters, significant
terrorist attacks. These types of missions ensure the preservation of
(29:08):
constitutional form of government and the continuity of essential federal
operations without interruptions. So key elements of a continuity of
government mission involves like several critical components, but succession, delegation
of authority, safekeeping of resources, emergency operating capabilities, I mean,
all of this stuff. So that's the mission that they
(29:28):
were operating. And you know, they run these drills all
the time in and around Washington, d C. To ensure
that if you know, you know, what hits the fan,
they can react and know exactly what to do and
have all of these key elements of that mission, you know,
almost on autopilot if the worst happens. These people already
know their tasks and they they train on this to
(29:51):
make sure that if the worst happens, they're ready. But
all the while, while this is going on, you see
the Trumpet administration embracing a form of radical transparency. The
the Democrats, folks, they're just completely lost. They clearly don't
(30:15):
understand why they lost the election. They clearly don't understand
what the American people need at this critical moment. They
don't understand that, you know, calling people hitler just louder
it isn't gonna work. It didn't work the last time,
(30:37):
it ain't gonna work this time. Right, But they seem
to be going all in on this crazy doubling down
on the stupid, and I say good, because that means
they're gonna continue to lose and midterms will be here
before you know it. And I'd like to know, expand
our majority in the Senate. I'd like to expand our
(30:58):
majority in the House. I'd like to do every thing
that we can to further marginalize the Democrat Party, especially
when the media is as weak as they are and
the Democrats are leaderless and off message and don't have
any idea of why they got their asses kicked this year.
But nothing encapsulates the Democrats just being woefully out of touch,
(31:20):
I think, more than these limousine liberals, which, by the way,
the Democrat Party seems to be made up of nothing
but elites. Anymore, elites in the media, you know, big
tech oligarchs, even though they've come and kissed the ring
of President Trump, so make sure President Trump doesn't go
(31:41):
after them. Most of these social media oligarchs are still
big lefties. Most of the contribution of these social media
companies still go to leftists, you know, academia, Ivory Tower academics,
all crazy leftists, all these people are insanely out of
touch with Americans day to day needs. But I also
(32:03):
think that they're they're just racist and they don't even
know it. Listen to this exchange, I mean, this blew
me away. But listen to this exchange on CNN between
Scott Jennings, who I think is the only person on
CNN keeping that that that network and float at all.
But this Democrat consultant talking about, you know, deporting illegal
(32:26):
aliens and and this just just just listen to this craziness.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
That if you are trying to actively hire illegal immigrants,
if you think that's best, if you are trying to
gain the system, if you were trying to help someone
break US federal immigration law. I think if we're going
to have a true crackdown on illegal immigration in this country,
it has to involve everybody who's participating in it. And
I think you've raised a good point with this topic,
and so employers and anyone else who's part of this pipeline,
(32:55):
I think I think they ought to be put on
notice and you got to play by the rule. Everybody
has to playboy the way.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
I don't want to hear that they're doing work that
no one else will do.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Talk to guys in the building trades, plumbers, contractors picking strawberries.
These building trades guys are being are being hurt. I
can't wait. Maybe I shouldn't be here.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
I can't wait until American women can't get blueberries for
their smoothies. I cannot wait until there is a full
crackdown on all small businesses. As if that's going to
be the solution to the immigration problem.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I honestly cannot believe. I still that. I just can't
the American women can't get blueberries. Really, so, deporting America's
illegal aliens, criminals, starting out with violent criminals, many of
(33:51):
whom are associated with the cartels, is so offensive to
you that you immediately go to, but who's going to
pick or cross, who's going to who's going to who's
going to do the surf labor in America for us?
If we deport these criminals. The fact that they're making,
(34:13):
you know, dire economic predictions because of the deportation of
at this point, only a few thousand of the worst
of the worst criminals just shows you that they don't
understand how our economy works. Never mind the fact that
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama deported millions of illegal aliens.
(34:35):
You never heard boo from the media at all when
they were doing it. But Trump is deporting gang members, criminals,
people that are affiliated with drug cartels. And this is
how members and Democrats are acting. But how will women
get blueberries in their smoothings? Smoothies? Are you kidding me?
(34:56):
Could you be more out of touch with reality? I'm
telling you, folks. And look, Pete mentioned last night. Another
big story that broke last night after the show was
that Trump was talking about sending opening up a facility
on Guantanamo Bay, a thirty thousand bed facility for these
illegal alien criminals to be deported to. Many of the
(35:21):
people that would go and by the way, these beds
are not affiliated. There's not going to be co mingling
between you know, Islamic terrorists that were captured in the
battlefield and these illegal aliens and these criminals. But many
of the people that would be deported to Guantanamo Bay,
to Guantanamo Bay, to this facility. Obviously they're criminals, but
(35:44):
many of them that we were removing from our shores
are members of the cartel who would one hundred percent
the moment that the moment that America starts taking the
fight in a kinetic way to these cartels. If they
are here on US soil, whether they're in our prison
system or out on the streets, they represent a danger
(36:09):
to our country. And by the way, Bill Clinton also
sent illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay, so even this isn't
historically unprecedented. Democrats have done this as well. But you
don't hear the media complaining when Democrats do it. But like, look,
(36:29):
check you want to talk about the Democrats being completely
out of touch with reality, look at this picture the
Senate Democrats share it of Cash Battel. Now, this is Cashptel, who,
by the way, you know Cash Battel. Cash Battel is
a friend of mine. We've had Cash Battel on this show,
I think three times. What you're looking at here is
(36:50):
a picture of Cash Battel holding a rock with Adam
Schift's picture on it and a backwards hat on the rock,
smiling in front of a catapult and a castle. Clearly
he's joking, but the Senate Judiciary Dems from their official
Twitter says Cashpitel. Donald Trump's pick for FBI director shared
(37:15):
a video launching a United States senator out of a catapult,
imposed with it. An unapologetic extremist a video that this says,
shared a video launching a United States senator out of
a catapult and posed with it. He is not literally
(37:35):
launching Adam Schiff in a catapult over the walls, as
that tweet would have you believe. It is a picture
where Adam Shift looks like a moron, which he usually does,
of him clearly joking around. But this is These are
the kinds of arguments the Democrats are making in lead
up to this man's confirmation for FBI director. I mean,
(37:59):
don't you think that that is a fundamentally unserious argument.
American people see it and they think these people are
full of shit, and they are Or how about this? Now?
This is a journalist Susan Glasser responding to Pete Hegseth
(38:21):
ordering General Millie's pictures taken down in the Pentagon Now,
she says, pulling down of portraits enforced erasing of the
past is a reminder check your twentieth century history about
what kind of regimes do this stuff? Where was Susan
for the last ten years where the left did nothing
(38:44):
but removed statues of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert E. Lee,
Confederate statues that ties to the Civil War, the reminder
of the horror of the Civil War. Whatever, where were
these people where everyone in a America was watching with
wide eyes thinking like, oh my god, this is crazy.
Where these democrats are doing nothing but erasing our history. Really,
(39:07):
you want to remove statues of Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt,
and statues of George Washington, any trace to our founding
democrats want to remove. But only now that we remove
a portrait from a Pentagon of a man who betrayed
this country and undermined the chain of command and did
nothing but lose wars his entire career. You draw the
(39:30):
line at a guy like that. This is another amazing one.
Look at this. Did you see the story about New
York Magazine. I'm gonna zoom in on the picture for you.
Just said, now look at the white outline here it
said the Cruel Kids Table. Now, if you're just listening,
I encourage you to come on over to the video
(39:50):
platform of the show, cause you get access to cool
stuff like this. But the Cruel Kids Table New York Magazine,
Now New York magazine has been one of the most
one of the the most ridiculous media outlets in the
country period that led the way in the smearing of
many of Trump's cabinet nominees Pete Hexeth and others. You know,
(40:12):
others included. But here here's the cover of their magazine,
the Cruel Kids table out late with the Young Right
as they contemplate cultural domination. Now look at the white outline.
Nothing but what they're trying to communicate here is nothing
but white people young push a white supremacist narrative. But
(40:37):
the guy C. J. Pearson, the guy who actually hosted
the party, was a young black conservative. And look on
the outside of this photo the New York magazine. These
journalists cut all the people of color, all the black
people out of the photo. Folks, it's because these democrats
have nothing to offer, and in their heart of hearts
(41:00):
are racist as hell. It's all they have is dividing
people among race, dividing people among socioeconomic status, dividing people
among religion, dividing people among age. But I am telling
you that the American people see through this insanity. And
(41:27):
so this brings me to Cash Batel and his opening
statement now Cashpatel when it's give you my thoughts, I
think that cash Battel is going to be confirmed. I
think that cash Battel is one of the top two
or three cabinet level appointments that are just critical that
(41:52):
he gets appointed. The reason for that is and again
I know Cashptel well had him on the show. I
consider the guy a friend. He is wholly dedicated to
the Constitution. He completely exposed the Russia collusion hoax in
(42:13):
everybody who was involved, every Democrat and Republican by the way,
who was involved in that. He was the lead investigator
when he worked for Devin Nunez on that, and he
completely embarrassed the people that pushed the Russia collusion hoax
for years. And that is why people like Adam Schiff
opposed cash Betel's assent to the FBI director. He loves
(42:36):
the Constitution. He's loyal to the Constitution. He's loyal to
the agent who want to uphold the Constitution. He rejects
holy political and partisan investigations. We don't live in a
country where that's permissible, and it never should have been permissible,
only under the Democrats, and that Biden administration was that
(42:56):
ever permissible, and now remind every buy that the American
people and the lead up to the election, thought that
the Democrats were the greater threat to democracy, precisely because
of the insane hoaxes and lawfair that they waged against
not just Trump, but Republicans. This is why they opposed
(43:16):
Cash Battel. He's a disruptor like Pete Hegseth. He's a
disruptor like RFK. He's a disruptor like Tulsi. These people
don't toe the line with traditional Republican or Democrat views.
Actually what I would call the uniparty. They're disruptors, and
(43:38):
disruptors make people afraid. But listen to a little bit
of Cashptel's opening statement. He'd put on a master's class
during this hearing. And I want to make sure that
we give credit where credit is due.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
The recent terrorist attacks in New Orleans tragically claimed the
lives of fourteen as Americans and serve as a stark
reminder that our national security is at threat both internally
and externally. The FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in
the Department of Justice, where I served, play a pivotal
role in securing our freedoms and our safeties for American citizens.
(44:10):
If confirmed as the next FBI director, I will remain
focused on the FBI's core mission, that is to investigate
fully wherever there is a constitutional factual basis to do so,
and to never make a prosecutorial decision that is solely
the providence of the Department of Justice in the Attorney General.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Rigorous adherence to the Constitution is something that defines cash
Betel's entire career. He was a public defender. He worked
in the Obama Justice Department. Way do you hear the
SoundBite between him and the Senator from Minnesota, Amy Klobasher.
He's been in every hellhole in the entire world, fighting
(44:57):
for America's freedoms, going after our Kaida and some of
the worst terrorists on the planet. He was awarded by
Loretta Lynch, a Democrat Attorney General, for his work hunting
down terrorists in this country. Cash Battel is eminently qualified,
and frankly, him being a public defender I think makes
(45:19):
him uniquely qualified for this job. He represented some of
the worst people on the face of the planet. Yes,
but he understands the importance of due process and how
due process must if it doesn't apply to the worst
of us. It doesn't apply to any of us. And
I think that perspective makes him uniquely qualified for this job.
(45:42):
I oh, by the way, he's like the first person
of color to ever hold the job. So of course
racist democrats would do nothing but oppose him. But listen
to this exchange between Amy Klobasher and Cash Battel again,
Master's class by Cash. Before I call on.
Speaker 8 (46:01):
Could you just answer the question if he said that
the FBI headquarters where they investigate cybercrime and terrorism shut
down and open as a deep stack the museum. Did
he say that the headquarters should be shut down? Mister Chair,
deserve an answer to that question. He is asking to
be head of the FBI, and he said that their
headquarters should be shut down.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Mister Chair, Parliamentary Inquiry.
Speaker 9 (46:24):
You've got anything you want to say, mister Prattail before
I go on to senat rely, simply.
Speaker 6 (46:29):
This, if the best attacks on me are going to
be false accusations and grotestue mischaracterizations, the only thing this
body is doing is defeating the credibility of the men
and women at the FBI.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
I stood with them.
Speaker 6 (46:41):
Here in this country in every theater of war, we have.
I was on the ground in service of this nation,
and any accusations leveled against me that I would somehow
put political bias before the constitution are grotesquely unfair. And
I will have you reminded that I have been endorsed
by over three hundred thousand law enforcement officers to become
(47:02):
the next director of the FBI.
Speaker 8 (47:03):
Let's ask them, mister Chairman, I am quoting his own
words from September of twenty twenty four. It is his
own words. It is not some conspiracy. It is what
mister Patel actually said himself.
Speaker 9 (47:18):
Fax matter, you'll forget that you had three minutes in
the next round to say what you just said.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Okay, I'll say him again. Okay. If Cash Pattel this
was about this line of questioning by Amy Klobasher was
about closing the ja ed Gar Hoover FBI building in Washington,
d C. If the President of the United States elected
in a mandate by the American people to reform our government,
(47:45):
that's why he was elected, to be a disruptor and
to appoint disruptors in his cabinet. If the commander in
chief of the United States, working on behalf of the
American people appoints an FBI director in Cash Battel, and
they both agree that the j. Edgar Hoover Building should
be shut down and the FBI should be decentralized because
Cash But what cash Betel said was, I want these
(48:08):
agents in towns and cities all across America doing what
they do best, keeping the American people safe, hunting down criminals,
get the FBI away from corrupt the corrupt swamp that
is Washington, d C. That's what Cash Battel is saying.
(48:29):
And if they want to do that, then that's their prerogative.
I'm not not saying cash Battel is going to do it.
But if President Trump and and soon to be Director
Patel want to shut down the Jugar Hoover Building because
they believe it's bad for America and because they were
you know Trump. President Trump is elected with a mandate
(48:49):
from the American people, and cash Hotel appointed with that
same mandate, then is the not Is that not their prerogative?
When did the Democrats because such government boot liquors. When
did the Democrats become pro FBI? When did the Democrats
become pro war? I didn't expect that script to flip
(49:11):
in my lifetime. All my life, the Democrats have been
the party of anti war, the party that questioned the FBI.
Hell in the sixties, if the government told you to
eat white bread, the Democrats will tell you to eat
wheat bread. I mean, the Democrats were the opposite of
They didn't trust in the government at all. But now they
(49:35):
just believe that the least critical political party critically if
they don't critically think at all, I mean, that's a
scary thing. Something else that jumped out to me during
the hearing was Marshall Blackburn, Senator from Tennessee to cash Betel.
(49:56):
This is a big one, and this is also why
I believe that they are opposing his nomination vehemently. This
was a contentious hearing, but listen if.
Speaker 10 (50:07):
I want to talk to you about the Epstein case.
I have worked on this for years, trying to get
those records of who flew on Epstein's plane and who
helped him build this international human trafficking sex trafficking ring.
Now earlier, I urged then Chairman Durbin to subpoena those records,
(50:31):
and I ended up being blocked by Senator Durbin and
Christopher Ray a stonewalled on this, and I know that
breaking up these trafficking rings is important to President Trump.
Speaker 2 (50:45):
So will you work.
Speaker 10 (50:46):
With me on this issue so we know who worked
with Jeffrey Epstein in building these sex trafficking rings.
Speaker 6 (50:55):
Absolutely, Senator, child sex trafficking has no place in the
United States of America, and I will do everything, if
confirmed as FBI Director, to make sure the American public
knows the full weight of what happened in the past.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh, I guess the first thing that jumps to mine there,
as Senator Blackburn was speaking, is why is Senator Durbin
blocking that list from being released? I mean, anythink that's curious.
(51:29):
I mean, the horrors that Jeffrey Epstein perpetrated on his
victims and all of the elites who were involved in that,
don't we have a right as Americans to know? I
think we do. I also think that's why all of
the many of these senators don't want the Epstein flight
(51:50):
logs and the Epstein list to be released. Why block
the list, Senator Durbin makes no sense to me. Okay,
let's get to Tulsie, because oh my god, the show
is flying by. This is ridiculous. It's fifty three minutes
past the hour. This is crazy. This is crazy. Okay,
Taulsi's opening was awesome. She too, like Cash, like RFK Junior,
(52:11):
were treated ridiculous by these I mean, these Democrats senators
are so stupid it's exhausting. But Tulsi's opening statement on point.
Speaker 11 (52:19):
American people elected Donald Trump as their president not once,
but twice, and yet the FBI and intelligence agencies were
politicized by his opponents to undermine his presidency and falsely
portray him as a puppet of putin Correct. Title one
of FAIZA was used illegally to obtain a warrant to
spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, using a Clinton
(52:40):
campaign funded false dossier as their so called evidence.
Speaker 2 (52:44):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (52:45):
Biden campaign advisor Tony Blinken was the impetus for the
fifty one former senior intelligence officials letter dismissing Hunter Biden's
laptop as disinformation, specifically to help Biden win the election.
Speaker 2 (52:59):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (53:00):
Former d and I James Clapper lied to this committee
in twenty thirteen denying the existence of programs that facilitated
the mass collection of millions of Americans phone and internet records.
Yet was never held accountable.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (53:13):
Under John Brennan's leadership, the CIA abused its power to
spy on Congress to dodge oversight, lied about doing it
until he was caught, and yet has never been held responsible.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
Correct.
Speaker 11 (53:25):
Under Biden, the FBI abused its power for political reasons
to try to surveil Catholics who attend traditional Latin mass
labeling them as quote unquote radical traditionalist Catholics. Personally, just
twenty four hours after Chris size Kamala Harris and her nomination,
I was placed on a secret domestic terror watch list
called Quiet Skies. Sadly there are more examples. The bottom
(53:49):
line is this, this must end.
Speaker 2 (53:53):
All correct and battle crew. That opening statement is extly
why the uniparty is afraid of TALLSI Gabbard. She like
Cash Battel, know where all of the bodies are buried.
They know where every corrupt politician, They know how every
(54:20):
corrupt politician was involved in every single one of these oakses.
Taulsi Gabbard, Cash Battel completely will unravel this cabal of
corruption in the four short years that Trump is in office.
I have no doubt about that. And her opening statement
is precisely why they oppose her one hundred. It's just
(54:43):
that simple. Okay. Listen, I got a couple other sound
bites to show you before the end of the show.
If I go over, it's fine. But while I'm talking,
make sure you smash that like button, that little gray
thumb beneath the videos. Smash it, turn it green. The
goal is to always try to hit four hundred like
before the end of the show, because that seems to
be the threshold to get us on the leader board.
(55:04):
So smash that like button helps the show immensely. Okay. Now,
let me just shift gears to RFK because he called
out Bernie Sanders in the most amazing way. Yesterday. Savage
Rich and I made the point that Elizabeth Warren took
over five million dollars and farm of money from Big Farmer,
Bernie Sanders took over one point five million. Bernie Sanders
has taken a ton of money from Big Pharma, yet
(55:27):
he pretends that he opposes Big Pharma. The guy's a
complete joke. But RFK called him out in the most
amazing way today, And I'd be remiss if if we
didn't show this.
Speaker 9 (55:37):
Care system is broken, and it's broken for some of
the reasons the mister Kennedy indicated, we have not paid
attention to the fact that we have massive amounts of
chronic disease. We have not answered the question why, in
the richest country in the history of the world, our
life expectancy is lower than it is in countries far poorer.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Than we all.
Speaker 9 (56:00):
So, I think in many ways, President Trump and mister
Kennedy have asked some of the right questions. Problem is,
their answers will only make a bad situation worse. So
let me ask mister Kennedy again, if we want to
make America healthy, will you assure the American people that
(56:22):
you will fight to do what every other major country
on Earth does. Guarantee healthcare to every single American.
Speaker 1 (56:30):
I'm going to make America healthier than other countries in
the world right now, will.
Speaker 9 (56:35):
You guarantee do what every other major country does.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
That's a simple question. And by the way, Bernie, you know,
the problem of corruption is not just in the federal ags,
is in Congress too. Almost all the members of this
panel are accepting, including yourself, are accepting millions of dollars
from the pharmaceutical industry their interests.
Speaker 9 (56:58):
Oh I thought that that would No. I ran for
president like you. I got millions of millions of contributions.
Speaker 6 (57:08):
They did not come from.
Speaker 9 (57:09):
The executives, not one nickel of pack money from the pharmaceuticals,
and they.
Speaker 1 (57:14):
Came from twenty twenty. In twenty twenty, you were these
single largest.
Speaker 9 (57:19):
Because I had Parma combinations from workers all.
Speaker 2 (57:24):
Over this country.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Workers you were not from, not a nickel from corporate.
It was the single largest pharmaceutical dollars from workers in.
Speaker 9 (57:35):
Five million, yeah, out of two hundred millions.
Speaker 12 (57:38):
All Right, you see how red Bertie Sanders face got man,
that was RFK great job.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
I mean these that was amazing, and you see Bertie
Sanders Oh no, no, no, like love to see it. Okay, listen,
I got one more thing to talk to you about,
and it's Menndez. I got to show you this juxtaposition
of these two videos I think cobble together by the
Great Mays More. Okay, So last thing I know, I'm
(58:13):
about to go over a little bit. I think it's okay.
But Bob Menendez, senator from New Jersey, corrupt Democrat senator
from New Jersey, who is like taking gold bars from Egypt,
totally guilty of bribery, voted to impeach President Trump twice
or actually voted to convict President Trump and the Senate's twice.
So this guy would have sent President Trump to jail
one hundred percent, no doubt about it. He seems to
(58:34):
have had a change of tune though, now that he's
been sentenced to eleven years behind bars at seventy one
years old. Just just listen to the two Bobby menendezes.
Speaker 13 (58:43):
Deserve to know who they elected to be their president.
They deserve to know if he's in fact putting America's
interests first. They deserve to know if Donald Trump is
wittingly or unwittingly an agent for the Russian Federation.
Speaker 3 (59:01):
President Trump is right.
Speaker 14 (59:03):
This process is political and it's corrupted to the cliff.
I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores
the integrity to the system.
Speaker 2 (59:14):
For you, somebody wants a party here you have Menendez
calling Trump a Russian asset, whether willingly or not, when
that dude himself was an asset of a government that
(59:37):
is hostile to America. These politicians are the absolute worst. Oh,
President Trump was right. I hope he cleans things up
because this process was political. Read between the lines. Please
give me a pardon President Trump what he's doing before
(59:59):
we get out of here. I gotta thank Jen Uh.
Jen says Trump is pissed, he has he has clean
up all these dem messes and who cares about the media.
And I completely agree and I think the American people
will agree with you. Jen. Thank you for the Rumble
