Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you very much. Good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
At President Trump's direction and with the support and coordination
with the House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, today we've
released a declassified oversight Majority staff report that was produced
in September of twenty twenty. The stunning revelations that we
are releasing today should be of concern to every American.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
This is not about.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Democrats or Republicans. This has to do with the integrity
of our democratic republic and American voters having faith that
the votes cast will count. There is irrefutable evidence that
detail how President Obama and his national security team directed
the creation of an intelligence community assessment that.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They knew was false. They knew it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the
twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win, selling it
to the American people as though.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It were true. It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The report that we released today's shows in great detail
how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources,
They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims.
They disobeyed traditional trade craft intelligence community standards, and withheld
(01:17):
the truth from the American people. In doing so, they
conspired to subvert the will of the American people who
elected Donald Trump in that election in November of twenty sixteen.
They worked with their partners in the media to promote
this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump
and launching what would be a year's long coup against
(01:37):
him and his administration.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's a battle of dueling narratives right now out there
in the universe of mainstream media, the multi platforms of
social media, and talk shows like this one and Welcome
to It, Ryan Schuling live along with zax Segers. On
the other side of the glass, Kelly kucheras sticking around,
(02:00):
and of course who you just heard from there, the
Director of National Intelligence, Telsey Gabbard. On one hand, you
have these and I hate to use the word bombshell,
but there's significant revelations implicating the former president of the
United States, Barack Obama, overseeing an entire Russia collusion hoax
that began with allegations that Russia was hacking into our
(02:24):
election systems and changing votes. There are those on the
far left that still believe that, that do not believe
that Donald Trump legitimately won the twenty sixteen presidential election,
you might call them election deniers. So whenever anybody says
anything about those who doubted the results of the twenty
(02:45):
twenty election. And I have my questions about Joe Biden
getting eighty one million votes compared to a transformational, iconic,
historically significant candidate for president of the United States. That
was Barack Obama. No matter how you feel ill about him,
he was campaigning to be the first ever black president
(03:05):
of the United States, and he won, and he won twice,
and he won legitimately both times. So in acknowledging that,
how do you explain that a withered old, senile white
dude got eighty one million votes far more the Barack
Obama did a historical transformational figure in either election two
(03:31):
thousand and eight or twenty twelve. I have yet to
hear a cogent, coherent explanation as to how that's mathematically possible.
But four, the mail in ballots that were sent out
in states that never had done that before and unlike Colorado.
Although I have my issues here too, especially with who's
(03:53):
in charge, Jenna Griswold, I don't like mail in voting
unless you specifically request an absentee ballot, and you have
a legitimate reason. You're going to be out of the state,
you're gonna be out of the country, you're infirmed, you're elderly,
you can't trans you know, if you make that request proactively. Yes,
every individual should have that right to vote, and it
should be as easy as possible. But you don't send
(04:16):
out ballots like they're questionnaires from a real estate agency
or something to just anyone willy nilly that may or
may not want them, may or may not request them,
may or may not still live at the address where
the ballot has been mailed. There's so many areas holes
in the integrity of that process that of course you
(04:37):
should question it. I mean, I wish we didn't have
that in place, because there's a couple of correlations you
can make. Colorado has gone true blue ever since what
data point, what year? Ever since we went to all
mail in balloting, And why would that be? Because to
their credit, I guess you could you could make this conclude.
(05:00):
You need to draw this conclusion. Democrats are much better
at harvesting ballots and doing whatever it takes to get
those filled out turned in than Republicans are. It's also
easier for Democrats to harvest ballots. Why because Democrats tend
to live in more populous centers, with more people concentrated
in one area. So you just go around the Bend
(05:20):
Denver maybe up to Boulder, and you've harvested enough ballots
to win an election. To harvest ballots, let's say in Colorado.
This is one of the most difficult states to do
that in because the red areas of Colorado are so
rural and spread out, and the population centers are not
as big that turn red, and so just by sheer logistics,
(05:41):
it's a lot more difficult to harvest ballots. So you
see where I'm going with this. Rewind it all the
way back and Team Obama here. Whether Barack Obama is
directly implicated or not, these revelations from Telsea Gabbert are
a problem for the Democratic Party. Is Tulsi Gabbard used
to be one of them. Tulci Gabbard ran for president
(06:04):
in the Democratic primary back in twenty twenty. So she's
not some longtime neo kN or you know, Republican Party apparatic,
nothing like that. She's a recent convert to Trump populism
and a recent employtee in this kind of team of
(06:27):
rivals approach, that President Trump is made to appoint her
as Director of National Intelligence. And the other problem for
the Democrats along with that that credibility comes from her
own personal integrity and how she presents so well. She
is very well spoken, extremely intelligent, extremely diligent, and thorough
(06:49):
in what she just revealed to the national media. And
what are we looking at on CNN these dueling narratives
I talk about, here's the slug that means the uh
chirn the headline to the bottom of the screen that
you see World Wall Street Journal. DOJ told Trump his
name is among many in Epstein files. Federal judge denies
DJ bid to unseal Epstein transcripts. So they're trying to
(07:12):
hide the ball here from these very legitimate allegations from
Tulsea Gabbard. These are of severe consequence should they be
born out through the DOJ and result in prosecutions, whether
it's Brennan Clapper, Comy. All of this cabal that was
(07:33):
formed to undermine the presidency of Donald Trump raised questions
about the legitimacy of the election itself, cast dispersions that Trump,
due to the Steele dossier, which is provably false and
has been colluded with the Russians because they had compromid
on him. Vladimir Putin had a video of Donald Trump.
(07:54):
This is a weird narrative to beginning with, and it
came from a drunk Russian sitting in a bar holding off.
Don't doubt me, do your own research. That's where the
Steele dossier info came from, some blithering, blow hard Russian
drunk guy making up stories. That's the Steele dossier. Because
the story is Donald Trump for some reason was I think,
(08:17):
staying in a hotel in Moscow where the Obamas had
once stayed and somehow got the same room or something
like that, and then hired two prostitutes to come in
and urinate on the bed where the Obama slept. Kelly,
do I have that about right? Is that the story
we were told? Is that the one that you've remembered?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That is correct?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, I'm just making sure that was the impetus for
everything that followed Russia collusion narrative, the hoax that went
with that, the justification for PISA warrants to spy on
Carter Page. And that takes us back to this.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
The biggest scandal was when they spied in my campaign.
They spied in my campaign.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
There's no real evidence of that, of.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Course, there is no all over the place, Leslie. So
spied on my campaign and they get.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Can I say something? You know, this is sixty minutes
and we can't put on things we can't verify it
on because it's bad for Biden. We can't put things
we can't very.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Leslie, they spied to my campaign, It's fine, totally verify. No,
it's been to just go down and get the papers.
They spied on my campaign.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
They got caught.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
No, and then they went much further than that, and
they got caught. And you will see that, Leslie, and
you know that, but you just don't want to know.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
As a matter of fact, I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
She doesn't know that because she lacks the intellectual curiosity
or the journalistic integrity to have chased that rabbit down
the hole and cleared that accusation by Donald Trump by
doing her own research, by doing due diligence to this accusation.
And maybe Trump was full of it, but no, she
(09:55):
rejected it on its face, didn't want to know what
she did want to know because that would have been
an inconvenient narrative for the mainstream media carrying water in
the twenty twenty election. That interview on sixty minutes was
from October of twenty twenty, and at that time, you'll
remember the mainstream media and online media, Facebook and Twitter
(10:16):
was busy burying the Hunter Biden laptop story, which our
good friend Miranda Devine reported on first foremost accurately wrote
two books about it. That it was real, it was
not Russian disinformation. The Democrats have played this same card
going back to twenty fifteen. Russia collution, Russian disinformation, This
(10:38):
laptop's not real, these are manufactured images. It's AI or
it was not, but she would not even allow for
that possibility to be considered. Leslie Stall in that interview
further evidence of CNN still being in the tank. Still
can't figuring, still can't figure out why their ratings are
so low. Here's Jim Scudo of CNN from earlier today,
(11:02):
when Telsey was getting into the meat and potatoes of this.
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Multiple intelligence community assessments released in the months leading up
to the November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had
neither the intent nor capability to impact the outcome of
the US election.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
On December fifth.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
We've been listening there to the Director of National Intelligence,
Tulsa Gabbard, continuing on what has now been a multi
day effort not only with public statements like this, but
release of documents to attempt to back up the quite
extreme allegation that President Obama is guilty of treason and
then he worked in some sort of conspiracy with Hillary Clinton, etc.
(11:43):
In the assessment by the intelligence community at the time
that Russia interfered the twenty sixteen election.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Take a journey, if you will with me, down the
intellectual highway of honesty and integrity and reporting and our
critiquing mass media class that we execute every day on
this program. Put Jim Scutto in that same situation, that
same environment CNN. Were they as cautious or reticent to
(12:12):
just confirm blanket allegations no matter who they were from
when it came to Egen Carroll against Donald Trump, when
it came to Fannie Willis and that coordinated conspired effort
to prosecute Donald Trump where he got his mug shot,
did he exercise that same journalistic restraint and responsibility deferring
(12:32):
to benefit of the doubt status for Donald Trump when
it came to Letitia James, who campaigned on quote getting
Trump unquote or Alvin Bragg in the same manner conjuring
up thirty four felony charges, getting convictions on those, and
then running with the narrative that Trump was now a
convicted felon. Did CNN exercise any kind of caution when
(12:55):
it came to journalistic analysis of those points being made,
or did they rather go ahead, take the line and
run with it. But no, they've got a run interference
here on behalf of Barack Obama. Now this is rankled
Team Obama so much that they were forced, i think
compelled to respond to it. And this is a statement
(13:17):
from Team Obama from yesterday quote out of respect for
the Office of the Presidency, our office does not normally
dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation falling out of this
wh White House with a response. But these claims are
outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous
and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document
(13:39):
issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia
worked to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election, but did
not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in
a twenty twenty report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee,
led by then chairman Marco Rubio. Now, let me hone
in on a very key portion of what you just heard, Kelly.
(14:02):
Does something stand out to you? Does this wash this
particular statement? Nothing in the document issued last week under
cuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence
the twenty sixteen presidential election, but did not successfully manipulate
any votes. Does that jibe with what we were told
back in the fallout from the twenty sixteen election? It
(14:23):
really doesn't. Shall we go back in time? We played
this yesterday, but I think it work is worth another Listen.
That's Russia hacking the election to elect Trump.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
But is the end of our votes were definitely affected,
But Russia hacked the election.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Mister Trump, and Russians definitively hacked the election.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Russia did hack the election, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
The Russians hacked the election. Yes, oh, russiacked the election.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Facked, Russia hacked the election.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
President elect Donald Trump still not sounding convinced.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
That Russia hacked the election.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Because the president does not want to come to terms,
but the fact that the Russians hacked the election, President
Trump says he still wonders if, if, if the Russians
packed the elections.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Once again, the statement right here said that nothing in
the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion
that Russia worked to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election,
but did not successfully manipulate any votes. What do we
just hear? What do we just hear? Should we ask
Adam Schiff? Yeah, well has evidence. Yeah, he's a shifty one. Indeed, yes,
(15:25):
Caroline Lovett commented on him too, And where's the apology
from sixty minutes they're not going Well, they did give
an apology in the form of money on the manipulated
video today from Kamala Harris. Trump won more money, more
millions taught his presidential library at Marlbrary. Is a confirmation
of a denial, That's what their statement just said. Well,
(15:48):
it also it's out of step with what was being
peddled back then on the Russia collusion narrative. Again, it
came in several steps. The first, the Wall Street Journal
op ed On the Monday of Inauguration Day twenty seventeen,
Trump sworn in an on that day. The headline reads
the impeachment of Donald Trump begins or something like that.
He had not even served the day in office yet.
(16:09):
Plus in the wake of that were the allegations, contrary
to this Obama team statement, that Russia in fact did
pack into our elections and affect votes. The extent of
Russia's involvement were some bots on Twitter and some poorly
executed Facebook accounts. Swear to God again, do your own research.
(16:32):
Look it up. That is the extent of what Russia
was able to pull off. It did not have hardly
any bearing on any votes. I mean, maybe a couple
here or there, But it was a very scattershot effort
by the Russians. This is not a completely focused, targeted
effort flipping votes and machines. I mean, this is the
stuff we were hearing about in twenty sixteen. And then
(16:54):
following that, well, if Russia hacked in and they had
an interest in Trump winning, well there must have been
then collusion between Donald Trump Vladimir Putin. He's Putin's puppet.
Remember that Hillary Clinton and Russia had a thumb on
the scale of who was going to win this election,
and Trump colluded with Russia to ensure that that happened,
and Hillary Clinton still to this day believes that, or
at least she tells the public that's what she believes.
(17:15):
And then on the basis of all of that, and
the phony Fiza warrants and the spying on Trump's campaign
and Carter Page and Papadopoulos, came the Mueller investigation and
report going down a road, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars,
wasting time for Congress to focus on this fairy tale,
(17:37):
only to come to a conclusion that there were no
there were no ties that could be proven between Donald
Trump Vlatimer Putin and Russia as it pertained to the
twenty sixteen election. We went through all of that, and
then that continued in the impeachment effort on the phone
call that Trump had with Zelenski over whether or not
(17:58):
he issued a quid pro quo for military help in
Ukraine in their war against Russia. This all stinks to
High Heaven. Chelsea Gabbert against she's a very credible voice
in all of this. We have much more sound to
get to and we will as well as your text
At five seven seven, three nine. We do have an
update on the focus from the left portion of the
(18:18):
media at the moment on the Epstein files and what
the Republicans are doing Speaker Johnson shutting things down today
rather than tomorrow rather than for releasing the Epstein files,
and where that all stands as well. Jimmy Sangenberger up next,

(20:11):
those people who were responsible for motivating us, for inspiring us,
for leading us and providing us the pathway to becoming
whatever it was that we set our sights on, our
goals and our dreams, and this story particularly grabbed me
from our own. Jimmy Sangenberger, frequent phil and host on
this program and investigative journalists and columnists for the Denver
(20:32):
Gazette rip Ed Fulner. Regis educated conservative pioneer and a
mentor of Jimmy's as well. Jimmy, first of all, my
condolence is on the passing of Ed. But secondly, I'm
so excited for you to tell his story and what
he meant to you, what he meant to Regis, and
what he means to Colorado as a conservative pioneer that
you cite.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Wow, goodness, Ryan, thanks for having me the nation. Really,
I mean, this is a guy who helped turn the
Heritage Foundation into the leading conservative think tank. He founded
Heritage decades ago, took over after four years at the president.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
And then when Ronald Reagan took office, the.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Mandate for leadership that the Heritage Foundation put together under
the auspices of Ed Folner was literally handed out by
the President personally to every one of his cabinet secretaries
in their first meeting of the cabinet. That's the kind
of caliber of a person we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, that is very high level, the founder of the
Heritage Foundation at Fulner, passing away on Friday at age
eighty three. Now, when did you first cross paths with
Ed Jimmy And what was that like? What did it
mean to you?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
It's a fun story because at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I was a student at Regis University.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I entered college in two thousand and eight. What was
happening in the fall when I was a freshman? Ryan,
let me ask you who was running for president in.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
The dead time?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What year You're a freshman two thousand and eight. Obama?
You had Hillary, you had McCain.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
It was Obama.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
Obama was the nominee at that time in the fall.
And yet despite what I call Obama Mania and the
just absolutely crazy among college students for Obama, I started
a campus radio show, and I wrote columns for the
student newspaper of the Highland Or on a regular basis.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Already I was like, I'm in college.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
There's a there's a radio station, there's a newspaper.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'm going to make.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
A splash and try and have my voice get out there.
That's how I started in radio. Well, I happened to
write during two thousand and ten with the early part
of twenty ten, when Obamacare was really.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Coming to the four and that.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Whole debate was happening, and doctor Folner read one of
my columns because he was on the board of trustees
for Regious and he shoots me this email.
Speaker 9 (23:05):
Saying, Oh, I love your article.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
I just wish you had one of ours instead of
the people from the Cato Institute with a little week
right there. And I looked him up and I was like,
oh my gosh, this is an email from the president
of the Heritage Foundation commenting and complimenting one of my columns,
and so I responded to him. We had a little
bit of a back and forth that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Led to us meeting in the summer of twenty.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Ten first for the first time face to face, which
was in and of.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Itself something fun.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Jimmie Sellenberger joining us. Follow him on exit, saying, center
seng cen Ter, you mentioned his contributions along with such
luminaries as you put it in this article so well, Jimmy,
William F. Buckley, Junior, Rush Limbaugh, Justice Antonin Scalia, and
President Ronald Reagan himself. That's a pantheon that anyone would
be honored to be a part of But in your mind,
(23:58):
what made Edie, what sets him apart? In what will
his legacy be his impact on the conservative movement here
in America?
Speaker 8 (24:07):
That is a great question.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
I think one of the things that stands out about
ed Bolner was his optimism in his wit. So the
first time I met in I was waiting for him
and when it was then called the Adult Learning Center
for Regis University.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
And he comes in the room, walking down.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
The stairs, and his first words were, so.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
What evil are you up to.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Today, Jimmy. He didn't just come up with those.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Words of delf.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
I had written another column recently about how it least
of the time Regis was pretty welcoming to conservatives, and
I shared a story of the president of the university. Now, Regis,
for those who don't know.
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Is a Jesuit Catholic college in North Denver.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Jesuits.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
If won ain't ope Francis is any indication are they
hippies of the Catholic Church. So I had an interesting
relationship with father Mike Sharon, who was a Jesuit and
then the president of the university. And on a parents
weekend he came up to my table where I was
sitting with my family.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
And he shook my hand and he said.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
That that line, so what even aren't.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
You up to today? Jibby.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
That's how I led this particular column that doctor Volner
had read, so in that moment it was the wit
that he had to call back to this column. And
for me, as a twenty actually not quite twenty years
old at the time, college student, it was very disarming.
But that's the thing about the personality of doctor Ed
(25:39):
Fulner was he was so approachable and disarming in somebody
that anybody could connect to and get a laugh or
a nice smile from the Other thing from Ed Bolner
was that he recognized something important about the conservative movement
is that the only way to actually make a difference
(25:59):
in an impact was to be able to reach political figures,
so politicians, elected officials.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
And also the media.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
And so he created media workshops for people who worked.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
At Heritage so that as policy.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
People would be able to go publicly express their views
and the things that they were trying to do as
far as big significant changes. And that I think is
critical because for conservatives, we often love to get into
the facts, right, we can get lost in some of
these things. How do you message, How do you bring
(26:34):
that message out to people in these different vehicles that
aren't just getting lost in the density of policy papers.
That Ryan was one of the big things that I
think at Bonners should be.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Remembered for a true giant in the conservative movement and
a life well lived, passing away Friday at the age
of eighty three. Doctor ed Fulner, the founder of the
Heritage Foundation. Those of you that are conservatives know how
big Heritage has become in the America landscape of conservative politics.
And Jimmy Sangenberger one of his apprentices, you could say,
joining us here today. You can read more about it
(27:07):
in the Gazette. Rip Ed Fulner, regius educated conservative pioneer,
Jimmy a great tribute by you in that article. Thank
you so much for sharing your story of your mentor
here today.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
And I appreciate it Ryan, and I do encourage folks
to check it out because it's connection to Colorado. He
was a student the graduating class of nineteen sixty three
and was introduced to conservatism from professors and reading seminal
books like Willie or like Barry Goldwater. Is the conscience
of a Conservative that happened at Regis University writing Denver
(27:41):
and would have big implications and ripple effects for decades
and decades to come in the conservative.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Movement point of pride during these times when there's not
a lot of Conservatism being espoused here from Colorado or
Denver itself. Ed Fulner was one of those and Jimmy
Sangenberger is another carrying on that legacy. Follow him at
Saying Center, SCNG Center CeON ter on X formerly known
as Twitter A time out, A lot of texts coming
in at five seven seventy three nine will close out

our number one with your voice after this on Ryan
Schuling Live. Had a zoom call today regarding my account
status with Trajan Wealth, and I could not recommend their
services more just from personally dealing with them on a
one on one basis. They've made it so easy for
me and they can do the same for you because

(29:54):
burning question, will any of the Russia collusion conspirators actually
be charged criminally? Well, I mean that's the wait and
see approach. Right, don't hold your breath because this doesn't
usually work in the direction you're talking, Steve. But they'll
fire law fair, hither and yon against the right when
the left is in power. They're not afraid to do it.
Will the right finally step up? And will there be charges?
(30:16):
I don't know. I can't tell you. I can't guarantee
it and wouldn't bet on it. Right, Why is it
always misinformation? Can't they just say it's not true or
at least specify which part of the information is missed? Well,
that's the language, and that's the point misinformation, disinformation, malinformation,
And then according to whom? And why is it from
the left? They never cite misinformation from their own side.
(30:38):
It's only from one side. It's the only direction that
it comes from. Apparently, ran did Trump have his thirty
four felony charges overturned on appeal? I think they're working
on that, and whether or not it happens, even if
it does, the Democrats have their narrative, their talking point
that he was convicted of thirty four felonies. He's a
convicted felon son. It's overturned, and at one point he
(31:01):
was a convicted film this one says CBS News in
sixty minutes, have no problem using fraudulent documents to try
to interfere in the two thousand and four election between
George W. Bush and John Kerry. Fact check true. That
cost Dan rather his entire reputation. He spent all of
that capital backed up the story, and then basically that
(31:21):
speeded up his exodus from CBS News at large. Ryan,
should Trump have gone to the island other than for
business purposes? Would there be a girl now, a woman
that would come out and say she was with him?
Is she still even alive? Trump should come out and say, yes,
I was there, but just for business. Now, let's find
out who was there for the wrong reason. I agree
(31:42):
with where your head's at on that. I also contend
that if there was anything concrete linking Trump to Epstein Island,
do you think the Democrats would have gone through all
this song and dance about Fannie Willis and Georgia or
Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, or Letitia James in New York
or Jack Smith with the document's case that was kind
(32:05):
of narrowly threaded down in Florida at mar A Lago.
If they had something of this monumental, they would have
gone with that, right, Why wouldn't they have They didn't?
Why didn't they? And let me see this one, Ryan,
when did the regime send you the talking points to
influence your MAGA audience to bring something over ten years
(32:26):
ago so as to avoid the fact that Trump is
a pedo and Epstein's best friend. I know you won't
have the courage to discuss this on the air. Well
I just did, and I do have follow up information
for you, Texter, and thanks for listening. I guess, but
we can only present the facts as we know them.
To this point, I don't know why Trump is obfuskating
(32:47):
and blocking the release of the documents. You would think
it would stand to reason to your point, that is
because there's something in there that's unflattering about him. But
there seems to be a timeline here, because news is
breaking and it's very odd of photos and videos from
like over thirty years ago Donald Trump's wedding to Marlon
Maple's wife number two at that time, you know, and
(33:11):
doing the reporting on that was Andrew Kozinski. They called
the K File on CNN. He works with Aaron Burnett
on that and I think you'll find it entertaining the
evolution of those points that he presents on the network
and then also what we have. And again I've played
this sound before from Bradley Edwards, a lawyer for a
lot of the Epstein victims, flashing back to July of
(33:34):
twenty nineteen, in his account of whether or not Donald
Trump would be implicated with any kind of nefarious intent
as it pertained to Jeffrey Epstein. We'll take us time
on more your text on the other side. Fifty seven
seven thirty nine Darryl Hammond still to come bottom of
our number two and that will be your chance to
(33:55):
win two free passes. It's gonna be a great conversation,
really looking forward to. He's one of your all time greats.
On Saturday Night Live, still to come on Ryan Schueling Live,
Thank you very much. Good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
At President Trump's direction and with the support and coordination
with the House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, today we've
released a declassified oversight Majority staff report that was produced
in September of twenty twenty. The stunning revelations that we
are releasing today should be of concern to every American.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
This is not about.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Democrats or Republicans. This has to do with the integrity
of our democratic republic and American voters having faith that
the votes cast will count. There is irrefutable evidence that
detail how President Obama and his national security team directed
the creation of an intelligence community assessment that.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They knew was false. They knew it.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the
twenty sixteen election to help President Trump win, selling it
to the American people as though.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It were true. It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
The report that we released today's shows in great detail
how they carried this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources,
They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims.
They disobeyed traditional trade craft intelligence community standards, and withheld
(01:17):
the truth from the American people. In doing so, they
conspired to subvert the will of the American people who
elected Donald Trump in that election in November of twenty sixteen.
They worked with their partners in the media to promote
this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump
and launching what would be a year's long coup against
(01:37):
him and his administration.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's a battle of dueling narratives right now out there
in the universe of mainstream media, the multi platforms of
social media, and talk shows like this one and Welcome
to It, Ryan Schuling live along with zax Segers. On
the other side of the glass, Kelly kucheras sticking around,
(02:00):
and of course who you just heard from there, the
Director of National Intelligence, Telsey Gabbard. On one hand, you
have these and I hate to use the word bombshell,
but there's significant revelations implicating the former president of the
United States, Barack Obama, overseeing an entire Russia collusion hoax
that began with allegations that Russia was hacking into our
(02:24):
election systems and changing votes. There are those on the
far left that still believe that, that do not believe
that Donald Trump legitimately won the twenty sixteen presidential election,
you might call them election deniers. So whenever anybody says
anything about those who doubted the results of the twenty
(02:45):
twenty election. And I have my questions about Joe Biden
getting eighty one million votes compared to a transformational, iconic,
historically significant candidate for president of the United States. That
was Barack Obama. No matter how you feel ill about him,
he was campaigning to be the first ever black president
(03:05):
of the United States, and he won, and he won twice,
and he won legitimately both times. So in acknowledging that,
how do you explain that a withered old, senile white
dude got eighty one million votes far more the Barack
Obama did a historical transformational figure in either election two
(03:31):
thousand and eight or twenty twelve. I have yet to
hear a cogent, coherent explanation as to how that's mathematically possible.
But four, the mail in ballots that were sent out
in states that never had done that before and unlike Colorado.
Although I have my issues here too, especially with who's
(03:53):
in charge, Jenna Griswold, I don't like mail in voting
unless you specifically request an absentee ballot, and you have
a legitimate reason. You're going to be out of the state,
you're gonna be out of the country, you're infirmed, you're elderly,
you can't trans you know, if you make that request proactively. Yes,
every individual should have that right to vote, and it
should be as easy as possible. But you don't send
(04:16):
out ballots like they're questionnaires from a real estate agency
or something to just anyone willy nilly that may or
may not want them, may or may not request them,
may or may not still live at the address where
the ballot has been mailed. There's so many areas holes
in the integrity of that process that of course you
(04:37):
should question it. I mean, I wish we didn't have
that in place, because there's a couple of correlations you
can make. Colorado has gone true blue ever since what
data point, what year? Ever since we went to all
mail in balloting, And why would that be? Because to
their credit, I guess you could you could make this conclude.
(05:00):
You need to draw this conclusion. Democrats are much better
at harvesting ballots and doing whatever it takes to get
those filled out turned in than Republicans are. It's also
easier for Democrats to harvest ballots. Why because Democrats tend
to live in more populous centers, with more people concentrated
in one area. So you just go around the Bend
(05:20):
Denver maybe up to Boulder, and you've harvested enough ballots
to win an election. To harvest ballots, let's say in Colorado.
This is one of the most difficult states to do
that in because the red areas of Colorado are so
rural and spread out, and the population centers are not
as big that turn red, and so just by sheer logistics,
(05:41):
it's a lot more difficult to harvest ballots. So you
see where I'm going with this. Rewind it all the
way back and Team Obama here. Whether Barack Obama is
directly implicated or not, these revelations from Telsea Gabbert are
a problem for the Democratic Party. Is Tulsi Gabbard used
to be one of them. Tulci Gabbard ran for president
(06:04):
in the Democratic primary back in twenty twenty. So she's
not some longtime neo kN or you know, Republican Party apparatic,
nothing like that. She's a recent convert to Trump populism
and a recent employtee in this kind of team of
(06:27):
rivals approach, that President Trump is made to appoint her
as Director of National Intelligence. And the other problem for
the Democrats along with that that credibility comes from her
own personal integrity and how she presents so well. She
is very well spoken, extremely intelligent, extremely diligent, and thorough
(06:49):
in what she just revealed to the national media. And
what are we looking at on CNN these dueling narratives
I talk about, here's the slug that means the uh
chirn the headline to the bottom of the screen that
you see World Wall Street Journal. DOJ told Trump his
name is among many in Epstein files. Federal judge denies
DJ bid to unseal Epstein transcripts. So they're trying to
(07:12):
hide the ball here from these very legitimate allegations from
Tulsea Gabbard. These are of severe consequence should they be
born out through the DOJ and result in prosecutions, whether
it's Brennan Clapper, Comy. All of this cabal that was
(07:33):
formed to undermine the presidency of Donald Trump raised questions
about the legitimacy of the election itself, cast dispersions that Trump,
due to the Steele dossier, which is provably false and
has been colluded with the Russians because they had compromid
on him. Vladimir Putin had a video of Donald Trump.
(07:54):
This is a weird narrative to beginning with, and it
came from a drunk Russian sitting in a bar holding off.
Don't doubt me, do your own research. That's where the
Steele dossier info came from, some blithering, blow hard Russian
drunk guy making up stories. That's the Steele dossier. Because
the story is Donald Trump for some reason was I think,
(08:17):
staying in a hotel in Moscow where the Obamas had
once stayed and somehow got the same room or something
like that, and then hired two prostitutes to come in
and urinate on the bed where the Obama slept. Kelly,
do I have that about right? Is that the story
we were told? Is that the one that you've remembered?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That is correct?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, I'm just making sure that was the impetus for
everything that followed Russia collusion narrative, the hoax that went
with that, the justification for PISA warrants to spy on
Carter Page. And that takes us back to this.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
The biggest scandal was when they spied in my campaign.
They spied in my campaign.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
There's no real evidence of that, of.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Course, there is no all over the place, Leslie. So
spied on my campaign and they get.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Can I say something? You know, this is sixty minutes
and we can't put on things we can't verify it
on because it's bad for Biden. We can't put things
we can't very.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Leslie, they spied to my campaign, It's fine, totally verify. No,
it's been to just go down and get the papers.
They spied on my campaign.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
They got caught.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
No, and then they went much further than that, and
they got caught. And you will see that, Leslie, and
you know that, but you just don't want to know.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
As a matter of fact, I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
She doesn't know that because she lacks the intellectual curiosity
or the journalistic integrity to have chased that rabbit down
the hole and cleared that accusation by Donald Trump by
doing her own research, by doing due diligence to this accusation.
And maybe Trump was full of it, but no, she
(09:55):
rejected it on its face, didn't want to know what
she did want to know because that would have been
an inconvenient narrative for the mainstream media carrying water in
the twenty twenty election. That interview on sixty minutes was
from October of twenty twenty, and at that time, you'll
remember the mainstream media and online media, Facebook and Twitter
(10:16):
was busy burying the Hunter Biden laptop story, which our
good friend Miranda Devine reported on first foremost accurately wrote
two books about it. That it was real, it was
not Russian disinformation. The Democrats have played this same card
going back to twenty fifteen. Russia collution, Russian disinformation, This
(10:38):
laptop's not real, these are manufactured images. It's AI or
it was not, but she would not even allow for
that possibility to be considered. Leslie Stall in that interview
further evidence of CNN still being in the tank. Still
can't figuring, still can't figure out why their ratings are
so low. Here's Jim Scudo of CNN from earlier today,
(11:02):
when Telsey was getting into the meat and potatoes of this.
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Multiple intelligence community assessments released in the months leading up
to the November twenty sixteen election concluded that Russia had
neither the intent nor capability to impact the outcome of
the US election.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
On December fifth.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
We've been listening there to the Director of National Intelligence,
Tulsa Gabbard, continuing on what has now been a multi
day effort not only with public statements like this, but
release of documents to attempt to back up the quite
extreme allegation that President Obama is guilty of treason and
then he worked in some sort of conspiracy with Hillary Clinton, etc.
(11:43):
In the assessment by the intelligence community at the time
that Russia interfered the twenty sixteen election.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Take a journey, if you will with me, down the
intellectual highway of honesty and integrity and reporting and our
critiquing mass media class that we execute every day on
this program. Put Jim Scutto in that same situation, that
same environment CNN. Were they as cautious or reticent to
(12:12):
just confirm blanket allegations no matter who they were from
when it came to Egen Carroll against Donald Trump, when
it came to Fannie Willis and that coordinated conspired effort
to prosecute Donald Trump where he got his mug shot,
did he exercise that same journalistic restraint and responsibility deferring
(12:32):
to benefit of the doubt status for Donald Trump when
it came to Letitia James, who campaigned on quote getting
Trump unquote or Alvin Bragg in the same manner conjuring
up thirty four felony charges, getting convictions on those, and
then running with the narrative that Trump was now a
convicted felon. Did CNN exercise any kind of caution when
(12:55):
it came to journalistic analysis of those points being made,
or did they rather go ahead, take the line and
run with it. But no, they've got a run interference
here on behalf of Barack Obama. Now this is rankled
Team Obama so much that they were forced, i think
compelled to respond to it. And this is a statement
(13:17):
from Team Obama from yesterday quote out of respect for
the Office of the Presidency, our office does not normally
dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation falling out of this
wh White House with a response. But these claims are
outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous
and a weak attempt at distraction. Nothing in the document
(13:39):
issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia
worked to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election, but did
not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in
a twenty twenty report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee,
led by then chairman Marco Rubio. Now, let me hone
in on a very key portion of what you just heard, Kelly.
(14:02):
Does something stand out to you? Does this wash this
particular statement? Nothing in the document issued last week under
cuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence
the twenty sixteen presidential election, but did not successfully manipulate
any votes. Does that jibe with what we were told
back in the fallout from the twenty sixteen election? It
(14:23):
really doesn't. Shall we go back in time? We played
this yesterday, but I think it work is worth another Listen.
That's Russia hacking the election to elect Trump.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
But is the end of our votes were definitely affected,
But Russia hacked the election.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Mister Trump, and Russians definitively hacked the election.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Russia did hack the election, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
The Russians hacked the election. Yes, oh, russiacked the election.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Facked, Russia hacked the election.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
President elect Donald Trump still not sounding convinced.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
That Russia hacked the election.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Because the president does not want to come to terms,
but the fact that the Russians hacked the election, President
Trump says he still wonders if, if, if the Russians
packed the elections.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Once again, the statement right here said that nothing in
the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion
that Russia worked to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election,
but did not successfully manipulate any votes. What do we
just hear? What do we just hear? Should we ask
Adam Schiff? Yeah, well has evidence. Yeah, he's a shifty one. Indeed, yes,
(15:25):
Caroline Lovett commented on him too, And where's the apology
from sixty minutes they're not going Well, they did give
an apology in the form of money on the manipulated
video today from Kamala Harris. Trump won more money, more
millions taught his presidential library at Marlbrary. Is a confirmation
of a denial, That's what their statement just said. Well,
(15:48):
it also it's out of step with what was being
peddled back then on the Russia collusion narrative. Again, it
came in several steps. The first, the Wall Street Journal
op ed On the Monday of Inauguration Day twenty seventeen,
Trump sworn in an on that day. The headline reads
the impeachment of Donald Trump begins or something like that.
He had not even served the day in office yet.
(16:09):
Plus in the wake of that were the allegations, contrary
to this Obama team statement, that Russia in fact did
pack into our elections and affect votes. The extent of
Russia's involvement were some bots on Twitter and some poorly
executed Facebook accounts. Swear to God again, do your own research.
(16:32):
Look it up. That is the extent of what Russia
was able to pull off. It did not have hardly
any bearing on any votes. I mean, maybe a couple
here or there, But it was a very scattershot effort
by the Russians. This is not a completely focused, targeted
effort flipping votes and machines. I mean, this is the
stuff we were hearing about in twenty sixteen. And then
(16:54):
following that, well, if Russia hacked in and they had
an interest in Trump winning, well there must have been
then collusion between Donald Trump Vladimir Putin. He's Putin's puppet.
Remember that Hillary Clinton and Russia had a thumb on
the scale of who was going to win this election,
and Trump colluded with Russia to ensure that that happened,
and Hillary Clinton still to this day believes that, or
at least she tells the public that's what she believes.
(17:15):
And then on the basis of all of that, and
the phony Fiza warrants and the spying on Trump's campaign
and Carter Page and Papadopoulos, came the Mueller investigation and
report going down a road, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars,
wasting time for Congress to focus on this fairy tale,
(17:37):
only to come to a conclusion that there were no
there were no ties that could be proven between Donald
Trump Vlatimer Putin and Russia as it pertained to the
twenty sixteen election. We went through all of that, and
then that continued in the impeachment effort on the phone
call that Trump had with Zelenski over whether or not
(17:58):
he issued a quid pro quo for military help in
Ukraine in their war against Russia. This all stinks to
High Heaven. Chelsea Gabbert against she's a very credible voice
in all of this. We have much more sound to
get to and we will as well as your text
At five seven seven, three nine. We do have an
update on the focus from the left portion of the
(18:18):
media at the moment on the Epstein files and what
the Republicans are doing Speaker Johnson shutting things down today
rather than tomorrow rather than for releasing the Epstein files,

(20:11):
those people who were responsible for motivating us, for inspiring us,
for leading us and providing us the pathway to becoming
whatever it was that we set our sights on, our
goals and our dreams, and this story particularly grabbed me
from our own. Jimmy Sangenberger, frequent phil and host on
this program and investigative journalists and columnists for the Denver
(20:32):
Gazette rip Ed Fulner. Regis educated conservative pioneer and a
mentor of Jimmy's as well. Jimmy, first of all, my
condolence is on the passing of Ed. But secondly, I'm
so excited for you to tell his story and what
he meant to you, what he meant to Regis, and
what he means to Colorado as a conservative pioneer that
you cite.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
Wow, goodness, Ryan, thanks for having me the nation. Really,
I mean, this is a guy who helped turn the
Heritage Foundation into the leading conservative think tank. He founded
Heritage decades ago, took over after four years at the president.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
And then when Ronald Reagan took office, the.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Mandate for leadership that the Heritage Foundation put together under
the auspices of Ed Folner was literally handed out by
the President personally to every one of his cabinet secretaries
in their first meeting of the cabinet. That's the kind
of caliber of a person we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, that is very high level, the founder of the
Heritage Foundation at Fulner, passing away on Friday at age
eighty three. Now, when did you first cross paths with
Ed Jimmy And what was that like? What did it
mean to you?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
It's a fun story because at the time.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I was a student at Regis University.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I entered college in two thousand and eight. What was
happening in the fall when I was a freshman? Ryan,
let me ask you who was running for president in.
Speaker 9 (22:01):
The dead time?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What year You're a freshman two thousand and eight. Obama?
You had Hillary, you had McCain.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
It was Obama.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
Obama was the nominee at that time in the fall.
And yet despite what I call Obama Mania and the
just absolutely crazy among college students for Obama, I started
a campus radio show, and I wrote columns for the
student newspaper of the Highland Or on a regular basis.
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Already I was like, I'm in college.
Speaker 9 (22:33):
There's a there's a radio station, there's a newspaper.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
I'm going to make.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
A splash and try and have my voice get out there.
That's how I started in radio. Well, I happened to
write during two thousand and ten with the early part
of twenty ten, when Obamacare was really.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Coming to the four and that.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
Whole debate was happening, and doctor Folner read one of
my columns because he was on the board of trustees
for Regious and he shoots me this email.
Speaker 9 (23:05):
Saying, Oh, I love your article.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
I just wish you had one of ours instead of
the people from the Cato Institute with a little week
right there. And I looked him up and I was like,
oh my gosh, this is an email from the president
of the Heritage Foundation commenting and complimenting one of my columns,
and so I responded to him. We had a little
bit of a back and forth that.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Led to us meeting in the summer of twenty.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Ten first for the first time face to face, which
was in and of.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Itself something fun.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Jimmie Sellenberger joining us. Follow him on exit, saying, center
seng cen Ter, you mentioned his contributions along with such
luminaries as you put it in this article so well, Jimmy,
William F. Buckley, Junior, Rush Limbaugh, Justice Antonin Scalia, and
President Ronald Reagan himself. That's a pantheon that anyone would
be honored to be a part of But in your mind,
(23:58):
what made Edie, what sets him apart? In what will
his legacy be his impact on the conservative movement here
in America?
Speaker 8 (24:07):
That is a great question.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
I think one of the things that stands out about
ed Bolner was his optimism in his wit. So the
first time I met in I was waiting for him
and when it was then called the Adult Learning Center
for Regis University.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
And he comes in the room, walking down.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
The stairs, and his first words were, so.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
What evil are you up to.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Today, Jimmy. He didn't just come up with those.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Words of delf.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
I had written another column recently about how it least
of the time Regis was pretty welcoming to conservatives, and
I shared a story of the president of the university. Now, Regis,
for those who don't know.
Speaker 9 (24:45):
Is a Jesuit Catholic college in North Denver.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Jesuits.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
If won ain't ope Francis is any indication are they
hippies of the Catholic Church. So I had an interesting
relationship with father Mike Sharon, who was a Jesuit and
then the president of the university. And on a parents
weekend he came up to my table where I was
sitting with my family.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
And he shook my hand and he said.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
That that line, so what even aren't.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
You up to today? Jibby.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
That's how I led this particular column that doctor Volner
had read, so in that moment it was the wit
that he had to call back to this column. And
for me, as a twenty actually not quite twenty years
old at the time, college student, it was very disarming.
But that's the thing about the personality of doctor Ed
(25:39):
Fulner was he was so approachable and disarming in somebody
that anybody could connect to and get a laugh or
a nice smile from the Other thing from Ed Bolner
was that he recognized something important about the conservative movement
is that the only way to actually make a difference
(25:59):
in an impact was to be able to reach political figures,
so politicians, elected officials.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
And also the media.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
And so he created media workshops for people who worked.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
At Heritage so that as policy.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
People would be able to go publicly express their views
and the things that they were trying to do as
far as big significant changes. And that I think is
critical because for conservatives, we often love to get into
the facts, right, we can get lost in some of
these things. How do you message, How do you bring
(26:34):
that message out to people in these different vehicles that
aren't just getting lost in the density of policy papers.
That Ryan was one of the big things that I
think at Bonners should be.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Remembered for a true giant in the conservative movement and
a life well lived, passing away Friday at the age
of eighty three. Doctor ed Fulner, the founder of the
Heritage Foundation. Those of you that are conservatives know how
big Heritage has become in the America landscape of conservative politics.
And Jimmy Sangenberger one of his apprentices, you could say,
joining us here today. You can read more about it
(27:07):
in the Gazette. Rip Ed Fulner, regius educated conservative pioneer,
Jimmy a great tribute by you in that article. Thank
you so much for sharing your story of your mentor
here today.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
And I appreciate it Ryan, and I do encourage folks
to check it out because it's connection to Colorado. He
was a student the graduating class of nineteen sixty three
and was introduced to conservatism from professors and reading seminal
books like Willie or like Barry Goldwater. Is the conscience
of a Conservative that happened at Regis University writing Denver
(27:41):
and would have big implications and ripple effects for decades
and decades to come in the conservative.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Movement point of pride during these times when there's not
a lot of Conservatism being espoused here from Colorado or
Denver itself. Ed Fulner was one of those and Jimmy
Sangenberger is another carrying on that legacy. Follow him at

Schuling Live. Had a zoom call today regarding my account
status with Trajan Wealth, and I could not recommend their
services more just from personally dealing with them on a
one on one basis. They've made it so easy for
me and they can do the same for you because
as a veteran Trajan Wealth CEO Jeff Junior, he fully
(28:29):
appreciates the importance of true independence. He founded Trajan Wealth
as an independent firm allowing fiduciary advisors the ability to
customize a portfolio to meet your unique goals and needs,
and he based that model based on what his mother
could not get when she was looking to make similar
types of investments, no matter the level of initial investment.
(28:50):
And so with that interest in mind, Jeff Junior has
built a family first approach and business in the form
of Trade and Wealth. Tradean Wealth's fiduciary advisors are commit
to working collaboratively with you. And when you imagine retirement,
what is it that you see? Have you thought about
it lately? Think about it again. Everyoney has different goals

Paid advertisement. Steven Littleton, retired law enforcement officer, says the
(29:54):
burning question, will any of the Russia collusion conspirators actually
be charged criminally? Well, I mean that's the wait and
see approach. Right, don't hold your breath because this doesn't
usually work in the direction you're talking, Steve. But they'll
fire law fair, hither and yon against the right when
the left is in power. They're not afraid to do it.
Will the right finally step up? And will there be charges?
(30:16):
I don't know. I can't tell you. I can't guarantee
it and wouldn't bet on it. Right, Why is it
always misinformation? Can't they just say it's not true or
at least specify which part of the information is missed? Well,
that's the language, and that's the point misinformation, disinformation, malinformation,
And then according to whom? And why is it from
the left? They never cite misinformation from their own side.
(30:38):
It's only from one side. It's the only direction that
it comes from. Apparently, ran did Trump have his thirty
four felony charges overturned on appeal? I think they're working
on that, and whether or not it happens, even if
it does, the Democrats have their narrative, their talking point
that he was convicted of thirty four felonies. He's a
convicted felon son. It's overturned, and at one point he
(31:01):
was a convicted film this one says CBS News in
sixty minutes, have no problem using fraudulent documents to try
to interfere in the two thousand and four election between
George W. Bush and John Kerry. Fact check true. That
cost Dan rather his entire reputation. He spent all of
that capital backed up the story, and then basically that
(31:21):
speeded up his exodus from CBS News at large. Ryan,
should Trump have gone to the island other than for
business purposes? Would there be a girl now, a woman
that would come out and say she was with him?
Is she still even alive? Trump should come out and say, yes,
I was there, but just for business. Now, let's find
out who was there for the wrong reason. I agree
(31:42):
with where your head's at on that. I also contend
that if there was anything concrete linking Trump to Epstein Island,
do you think the Democrats would have gone through all
this song and dance about Fannie Willis and Georgia or
Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, or Letitia James in New York
or Jack Smith with the document's case that was kind
(32:05):
of narrowly threaded down in Florida at mar A Lago.
If they had something of this monumental, they would have
gone with that, right, Why wouldn't they have They didn't?
Why didn't they? And let me see this one, Ryan,
when did the regime send you the talking points to
influence your MAGA audience to bring something over ten years
(32:26):
ago so as to avoid the fact that Trump is
a pedo and Epstein's best friend. I know you won't
have the courage to discuss this on the air. Well
I just did, and I do have follow up information
for you, Texter, and thanks for listening. I guess, but
we can only present the facts as we know them.
To this point, I don't know why Trump is obfuskating
(32:47):
and blocking the release of the documents. You would think
it would stand to reason to your point, that is
because there's something in there that's unflattering about him. But
there seems to be a timeline here, because news is
breaking and it's very odd of photos and videos from
like over thirty years ago Donald Trump's wedding to Marlon
Maple's wife number two at that time, you know, and
(33:11):
doing the reporting on that was Andrew Kozinski. They called
the K File on CNN. He works with Aaron Burnett
on that and I think you'll find it entertaining the
evolution of those points that he presents on the network
and then also what we have. And again I've played
this sound before from Bradley Edwards, a lawyer for a
lot of the Epstein victims, flashing back to July of
(33:34):
twenty nineteen, in his account of whether or not Donald
Trump would be implicated with any kind of nefarious intent
as it pertained to Jeffrey Epstein. We'll take us time
on more your text on the other side. Fifty seven
seven thirty nine Darryl Hammond still to come bottom of
our number two and that will be your chance to
(33:55):
win two free passes. It's gonna be a great conversation,
really looking forward to. He's one of your all time greats.
