Speaker 2 (00:28):
No one represents the party.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
The only person that can represent the party is a
presidential nominee who will be chosen by the party members
who vote in the primary.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that
has not led to safe communities.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
To let you know what we're all doing resisting this
low down.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Dirt and no good felt. The resident of the United
States of America.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution Away,
up coming to y'all, senter, play against allaz and sane
you a conscious song. Sean Hennity show more me. I'm
the scenes, information on freaking news and more bold inspired
(01:18):
solutions for America.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Hey America, it's Peter Schweitzer. We are filling in for
Sean Hannity, who's taking a well needed rest. I'm going
to be joined today by Eric Edgars. We co host
a podcast called The Drill Down, Happy Thanksgiving Me Everybody.
We want you to join the conversation. We want you
to call in at one eight hundred nine four one
seven three two six nine four one seven three two six.
(01:42):
We've got a lot of ground to cover today. We
have some breaking news Eric up in Washington.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, unfortunately, as many of you probably heard during the
news break, we have a shooting. At least two National
Guards people have been shot in the Washington DC area.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
The White House is currently on lockdown, as is the
Treasury Department. We've got to We've got Metro police on scene.
The shooting, it says, occurred at the intersection of seventeenth
and I. So you know, even when more information becomes available,
we will join any kind of press conferences or information
in progress. It's a tragedy in Peter Schwiz, as we've
(02:18):
discussed before on our podcast, The Drill Down. It flies
in the face of the larger trends that had been
happened as far as crime in the Washington DC area
since the National Guard were deployed. You've got robberies down
forty six percent, homicides down fifty three percent from this
time last year. Unknown what the motives are, how tragic
we are told noword on the condition of the guardsmen
(02:38):
at this time.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That's right, We don't know the motivation, we don't know
what happened. We're going to continue to monitor that for you.
There are other things going on in the world today
that we're going to touch on. We've got the Ukraine
deal that the President has been pushing. It's gonna be
interesting to see how that pans out. I like Trump's
approach here. I think it makes a lot of sense,
and I think this is going to be good for
(02:59):
Ukraine and for world peace. We have the so called
sedition video that was put out by a Senate Democrats
and others basically telling members of the military that they
should not follow illegal orders. But we're going to break
that down in greater detail because I think it's important
to understand really what is going on here. It's not
(03:20):
what the people that put out the video want to
pretend is going on. It's something very very different.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, there's a couple different dynamics and work there, and
I think you very correctly point out some hypocrisy within
the left on their position. You say, you know, we
can't allow a aggression to succeed. That's the position of
these people in this video. But your point is that's
not a principle they apply universally.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean the argument that they make for Ukraine
not making a deal until they get all of their
territory back, which by the way, is not a realistic goal.
They lost that territory in twenty fourteen to in Crimea
that's not coming back. But the left has embraced this
principle to criticize Trump's deal by saying, you are rewarding
aggressive behavior if you have this peace deal in Russia,
(04:06):
get something out of it. What's interesting to me is
they don't apply that same analysis when it comes to
domestic crime. They're rewarding violent, aggressive behavior all the time
in terms of you know, supporting these liberal prosecutors, these
liberal judges, these no bail agreements. So I think what's
really going on the opposition to this deal is primarily
(04:27):
they don't want Trump to have a win. That's what
I think a lot of the criticism is if you
look at the deal itself, obviously it's a living document,
which I think is a great way to do this.
It's object to subject to negotiation. It's kind of different
from the days of Henry Kissinger in the nineteen seventies
or you know, during the George W. Bush years, where
(04:48):
diplomacy everything is behind closed doors. There's nothing discussed. Trump's
strategy is to kick the doors wide open. Let's have
this discussion, this debate in public. And I think that
makes a lot of sense. But you've got Ukraine having
to make territorial concessions. On the other hand, Russia one
hundred billion dollars of frozen Russian assets in the West.
(05:09):
They will be given to Ukraine and this deal for rebuilding.
And there's also security guarantees for Ukraine. But a note
of optimism as we enter the holidays, I think this
deal has real possibility. It's kind of modeled on the
Gaza peacekeeping deal. So let's hope that this is a
good sign.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, it's an interesting show. Peter and I are thrilled
to be with you. It's a tough first note to
begin with. You've got a shooting in Washington, DC, and
as we noted, we'll continue to monitor as events warrant
and provide any information as soon as we can. But
it is the last day before Thanksgiving, and so you know,
we have other things that we'd like to discuss. We'd
(05:47):
like to let you into and send you into your
Thanksgiving break. In a more optimistic or positive mood. Peter
Schwitzer on our last episode of The Drill Down, we
did information about there's a poll showing more Americans.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I was surprised by this.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
More Americans actually want to talk politics over the Thanksgiving
Day dinner table.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah. Yeah, this surprised me as well. And by the way,
we'd love to have you call in. What is your
experience about talking politics at the Thanksgiving Day table? Does
it go well? Or do you have a disaster story?
Hopefully not again, you can call in one eight hundred
and ninety four one seven, three two six. Script's news
service came out with a survey and the headline is
most Americans find political conversation at the Thanksgiving table to
(06:29):
be entertaining and informative. This is despite experts saying it
should be avoided. So growing up now, do you avoid
politics at the Thanksgiving table?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, most of the people I would speak about politics
with it by Thanksgiving table or children, So yes, although
I do delve into the elementary school politics. My daughter's
the vice president of a first school student council. For her,
I'm very proud of her. But no, it's interesting because
we're told ironically that we're so divided. Yeah, although I
wonder if that's true now in this second Trump era,
(07:02):
because it does seem like in the first Trump era
you saw so many protests and you know, and now
like the closest you get is these no Kings things right,
and the vitriol seems to not really be there. And
I think that's because it's generally acknowledging.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, Look, we're kind of all past it. Yeah, yeah,
I think you're right. And look, I think if you're
gonna have a conversation to the Thanksgiving table, make it authentic, Okay.
A lot of these liberal groups, The ACLU has issued
a holiday conversation guide. These are talking points that you're
supposed to go through completely canned. They also say, make
a donation to the ACLU and the name of the
(07:38):
person you're debating for Thanksgiving, but make it organic, have
a discussion, have a real conversation. And our goal today
over the next three hours is to help you be
better at the Thanksgiving table, because you know, you're gonna
have Uncle Joe, who's served in the National Guard in
the nineteen eighties, who's gonna have plenty of opinions on
the military strategy for Venezuela. And you're going to have
(08:00):
Aunt Sally, who once had an exchange student from Ukraine,
tell you how things need to be handled in Ukraine.
We're going to try to elevate that conversation by informing
you too, one of.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
The people who's going to help us elevate that conversation.
We have a couple of really good guests that are
going to join us in the four o'clock hour. One
of them is Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett. He's rapidly becoming
a favorite of mine. Now he may not know, but
he is advancing an issue legislatively that's been a big
priority of ours here at the Government Accountability and stud
(08:29):
You wrote a book on insider trading over a decade ago.
He's advancing a bill, Peter Schweizer, if you can believe it,
that would actually ban members of Congress from buying and
selling individual stocks.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What an amazing idea, What an amazing concept.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
And so not only can he talk about that, and
I think you'd be very excited to hear his ideas,
and he's you know, there's some fun back and forth
between him and other members on Twitter. One of the
representatives that as the richest member, one of the richest
members of Congress, I support this idea. He's like well,
as one of the poorest members.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Of the promiss, I also support it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But in addition to getting into the insider trading deal
and why we should absolutely ban it and all the
different reasons behind that, he also is on the Foreign
Services Committee, and so he can weigh in on the
merits of this Ukraine deal and if it's actually going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, Yeah, We're gonna break that down with him. And
then at the bottom of that second hour, we're gonna
have a conversation with an official in Utah. Very interesting
things going on in the state of Utah in terms
of the congressional delegations, the districts, how those are drawn.
There's a judge that is apparently doing some pretty shocking
(09:34):
things to try to jerrymander a district in the progressive direction.
We're going to talk about that. That's actually a common
theme of the show. We've got crazy judges all over
this country. We've got this judge in Utah, We've got
this judge in DC who's apparently been putting gag orders
on every dang request to get phone records from members
of the House and Senate as part of the Actor
(09:55):
Frost scandal. Nineteen members of the Senate House now we're told,
had gag issues ordered on their phone records in despite
federal law that suggests that should not happen. And we
also have a judge in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We're going to get into fraud and how much of
your tax money is being wasted or stolen and even worse,
apparently making its way to terrorist organizations. And in the
context of that, you've got one jury actually said hey,
we think this is fraudulent, and a judge decided just
recently to overturn it. So we've got a lot of
interesting news all over the country. We've also got stories
(10:31):
about Adam Schiff and his mortgage fraud. We've got a
small business Administration program that's being exploited left and right,
and lots of the things that you might not know about.
Who knows what you'll want to deploy the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Table, that's right, there'll be plenty of material as you're
passing the ams that we will give you ammunition that
you can use. But we want to hear from you too.
We want to hear your thoughts about the issue of
politics at Thanksgiving? Do you discuss it? Do you avoid
talking about it? And I'm not saying force it on somebody,
but do you engage and how does that go? You know,
(11:02):
it's interesting that the left, a lot of the groups
have produced these talking points to try to force the conversation.
Is that something you do or do you avoid it
all together? Ethan Turkey take an app and watch football? Well,
I think football exists for the people that are losing
the conversation. You know what, We disagree, but the Lions
are on and that's something we can both unfortunately relegate
(11:25):
ourselves too.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
We do have some just a quick note. We mentioned
at the beginning of the show that there was a
shooting in Washington, d C. We're now being told that
a suspect is in custody and so we'll continue to
keep you updated. Is more information is broken in that area,
of course, of tragedy to National guardsmen shot in the Washington,
DC area. We're going to take a break when we
come back. We mentioned some more news as it relates
(11:48):
to this video that's being deployed by Democrat members of Congress.
You've got one of those members of the video Mark
Kelly Center from Arizona. Some information you might not know
about out him and why the new investigation as directed
by Pete he Seth, is but the latest in a
series of information about him that seems the opposite of
(12:10):
his current public persona. He's Peter Schweizer. I'm Eric Eggers.
We do a podcast called The Drill Down. This is
the Sean Handy Show. We're back with you right after this.
America listens to Sean Hendany and he's on.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
On right now. Hello America, it's Peter Schweitzer. I'm here
(12:56):
with Eric Eggers. We're filling in for Sean. Call in
please on nine four one, seven, three two six. We
are monitoring the situation in Washington, d C. Two National
guardsmen have been shot. We do not know the motivation,
We don't know the particulars of the case. But you
have to realize this happens against the backdrop of this
so called sedition video, where we had prominent Democrats, including senators,
(13:19):
essentially telling military personnel members of the intelligence community don't
carry out Trump's orders when you think they're illegal. Listen
to the video here. We want to speak directly to
members of the military and the intelligence community to take
risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you
are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust
(13:40):
their military, with that trust is at risk. This administration
is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community professionals against
American citizens like us. You all swore an oath to
protect andy then this constitution. Right now, the threats to
our constitution aren't just coming from a broad but from
right here at home. Our laws are clear.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No one has to.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force, your vigilance is critical.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And know that we have your back. Now.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It remains unclear what potential illegal orders they might be
referring to, and when asked specifically about that, sender, Elisa
Slockein had this to say, So, let's.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Talk right now.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that
are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that
are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related
to Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Legal gymnastics should be noted as called practicing the law,
not actually doing anything illegal. Peter Schwatzer, your reaction to this,
and I think your point as it relates, I mean,
for to this tragedy that these nowtional guards troops being
shot again. Don't know the motivation, right, but it speaks
to a larger thing that the Democrats appear to be
doing from a messaging standpoint.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, I mean notice in that video, by the way,
they did not say if you're a military officer and
you have a question about in order to go to
a jag officer, go to an attorney in the military.
If you have questions, they don't say that, they say,
refuse to carry it out. You look further at some
of the things that Democrats are saying is illegal, the
use of military forces to deport immigrants, the military attacks
(15:31):
on vessels in international waters, Venezuela, any invasion or attack
on Venezuela or Nigeria, the use of preemptive military force
against Iran, that's the bombing of Iran. The point here
is they have this massively vague definition. Anything they don't
like Trump is doing with the military, they're essentially saying,
is an illegal order, and they're telling military personnel to
(15:54):
put their situation on the line by violating this and
ending up going to jail. This actually happened in twenty twenty,
if you remember, they deployed the National Guard with the
George Floyd riots. There were National guardsmen that refused to
be deployed. They got in deep legal trouble, and of
course the people that are encouraging them to do that,
they walked away and did another television interview.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It should be worth pointing out that Donald Trump is
the commander in chief of the military, and so you
have people who are not him telling active members of
the military it's okay to defy in order. That's probably
not okay. In fact, it's so not okay that current
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called on the Navy Secretary
to investigate quote potentially unlawful comments made by Senator Mark
(16:38):
Kelly from Arizona. He of course has a military background
of himself, and so people are saying, listen, it's you know,
there are consequences words have consequences. Rhetoric sometimes lead to action.
We were all sort of living in a post Charlie
Kirk environment. We see that better than anything. So yeah,
it'll be very interesting to see what happens. But this
is not going to just go unchallenged by the white.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
No, it's not, nor should it, because here's the thing.
There is an honorable tradition in the military. If you
disagree with a policy, if you disagree with an order officer,
they call it later stars on the table. You say,
with respect, sir, I resign my position. That's not what
they're telling people to do. They're telling people to stay
in the military and fight within the military to avoid
(17:21):
what they believe to be in illegal order. This is
political play acting as far as I'm concerned, and they're
trying to portray it as bravery. It's not bravery at all.
It's it's dishonorable.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's political play acting from the same script. Unfortunately as
the people that brought you the government shutdown that cost
people thousands of dollars worth of hard earned salaries. He's
Peter Schweizer, I'm Eric Eggers. We're not resigning anything. We're
here with you all afternoon. Feeling in for Sean Hannity,
give us a call, onenty hundred and nine one seven three, two,
six and nine for one Seawan back after this.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Law Hannity less big government. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
This this is Sean Hannity's show. This is not Sean Hannity.
This is Peter Schweitzer filling in. We are monitoring the
situation in Washington, d C. Where we've had this horrific
shooting of two National guardsmen. The suspect is apparently in custody,
and we are talking We don't know the motive of
(18:37):
the shooter, but we're talking about this against the backdrop
of this Sedition video that has been put out by
some senators and other prominent Democrats.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, just to update it, Peter Schweitzer, we have two
troops have been shot, critically wounded. The suspect also wounded.
We're told as in custody. The White House is on lockdown.
President Trump has been briefed, and the latest piece of
information that we have is that depart to Ronald Reagan
are grounded due to security. So there's been a groundstop
ordered at Reagan National Airport for security reasons. You can
(19:07):
imagine what that's doing to holiday travel on the day
before Thanksgiving. As he noted, he is Peter Schweizer. I
am Eric Egres. We do a podcast called The Drill
Down where we cover lots of issues related to federal
government corruption, cronyism. Mark Kelly, who is someone who features
prominently in this sedition video, is someone from whom we've
(19:27):
previously reported on, and that is somebody that Wes from
Florida wants to talk about it. If you want to
join us here on the show, it's one hundred and
nine four one seven three two six. That's the number
Wes called, who lives as we do in the Free
State of Florida. Wes, how are you doing.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I'm doing great, gosh, how are you. We're good in Jacksonville,
you probably know, is a huge military town. I'll get
to the point. I thought the video of the Seditious
six was suspicable and subversive. I believe they're traders. I
(20:02):
believe they can't quite understand that they're not in charge.
Elease Slotkin does not run the military. We don't answer
to Elise Slotkin. And what they tried to do in
that video was a pernicious life, and I despise it.
(20:24):
This city won't stand for something like that, and I
think it's about time for some accountability guys. I mean,
you can't keep doing these kind of things. Your words
have they stick with you, stepping stones they break my bones,
but words have permanent damage. And these guys are submersive
(20:47):
or subversive, and they're trying to tell our military that
they can disobey the commander in chief. That's the fundamental
they hate Trump so much.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, I think you said it very accurately, and as
we pointed out earlier, again in the video, they don't say,
if you have a question about an order, whether it's
legal or a lot, go and get a JAG officer's
opinion or confer with somebody. They say, just don't follow
the order.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
So I couldn't help. But I'm not sure which part
of that video struck you, Peter, But to me, it
wasn't addressed to the military specifically, but when they said
the intelligence agencies, because you and I have done this
long enough to remember, and we have seen we now
know instances of which the intelligence community didn't just not
participate in a thing that the commander in chief might
(21:34):
have wanted to do, but have actively worked against and
to undermine and to remove that person from office, right,
I mean we I was just in Washington, d C.
Last week and I saw members of the National Guard
patrolling the streets and I thought, this is this military city.
We're told it's actually just normal people standing on the street.
(21:56):
But I was there because Susan Krabtree, with whom we
work on au pot guess called on background, was receiving
or she was presenting an award for journalism, and the
people that won the award this year was about like
the Russiagate collusion and exposing the hooks and exposing the
ways that the intelligence community while Donald Trump was president,
was feeding misinformation and lies to journalists who then turned
(22:21):
around and reported it and then won awards for reporting
lies fed to them by the Intelligence Committee, who were
only doing so to undermine the sitting president of the
United States.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah. I don't know when it happened, but at stark
to the extent that has happened, which is how liberal
Democrats became favorable towards spooks. I mean they love spies now.
I mean it used to be they were the ones
in the seventies, the Church Commission CIA is too powerful,
it's unaccountable. Now they want a CIA that actually is
(22:53):
unaccountable too elected officials, namely the President, and they're encouraging
them not to do what they been asked to do.
And I think the reason Wes's call is so important
is he's exactly right. This is again not resigning honorably.
I disagree. I don't want to carry out these ords.
That's fine. You can do that as a flag officer.
(23:13):
What you can't do is try to subvert what elective
officials want you to do. And you happen to disagree
with that policy preference.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
And know, by the way, as you well know, because
you helped break the story about Hunter Biden when the
intelligence community was unsuccessful in proving that Donald Trump was
a Russian asset, a story by the way, that originates
from reporting we did on Hillary Clinton's campaign and her
ties to Russia because of the Clinton Foundation. When that
didn't work, they then were successful in feeding more in misinformation,
(23:41):
this time about the Hunter Biden laptop and getting that
information withheld largely from the American public, an issue that
we know would have helped swing the twenty twenty election
in a more significant way than it did, so I
guess to me, that's my biggest takeaway. You see these
Democrats that say, well, we're kind of used to this.
This is the privilege that we have existed in. Yeah,
(24:01):
we think we're allowed to tell the intelligence community to
work with us because they always have.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah. Yeah. There was a phrase in the nineteenth century
in the UK that stayed for a long time. It
was called the loyal opposition. We're opposed to who's in power.
We don't like the policies, but we are loyal to
the country. We want the country to do well. We
have a different vision about how it's supposed to get
that way, but we're going to be loyal to it.
(24:25):
That is not This is not a loyal opposition in
that sense. This is an opposition that says we are
going to undermine the authority of duly elected officials. We're
going to declare any military action we went through the
list earlier, any military action that Trump's engaging it. We
don't like he's taking out these drug votes. You as
a military officer can refuse to carry out that order
(24:47):
because we've decided it's illegal. It's complete and total chaos,
and they know that they are trying to sow chaos,
as they've done it in our streets, they're trying to
do the same thing in our military.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Meanwhile, some of the people in the video may have
been adjacent at least as some of the chaos that's
already been sown in this country. You remember Peter Schweitzer
when we had that big old balloon flying across the country,
the Chinese balloon, and some people said one of the
reasons why they didn't want to shoot it down is
it was more likely to land on Chinese owned land
than it would have the United States because of how
much we've given.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Away to the Chinese under Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
But speaking of Susan Crabty, an excellent reporter from Real
Claire Politics, she tweeted this not too long ago, if
Mark Kelly is trying to lead a s edition against
the Trump administration, why hasn't any senator or Tulca Gabbard
asked about what I first reported years ago that Mark
Kelly recruited.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I did not know this.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Chinese company Tencent to fund. Apparently Mark Kelly owns or
it was involved with a stratospheric balloon company they got funding,
So he was connected to this balloon company worldview. They
got funding from Chinese company Tencent at two different times.
That company, by the way, also employees Mark Kelly's daughter,
(25:59):
And so this is happening right before then, this balloon company,
they were involved in space tourism when they were getting
this Chinese money, and then they said, Okay, now we're
going to pivot the defense stuff. And apparently the Chinese okay,
we're out. We're not interested in funding something involved in
the US defense work, is.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
What we're told. Yeah, and by the way, ten Cent
is not just like oh a rando Chinese company. Ten
Cent is joined at the hip with the Chinese Industrial States.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
National Bank of Beijing.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, it's not, it's not. They do a lot of
sensitive work for the Ministry of State Security. They are
highly trusted by the Chinese Communist Party. They are joined
at the hip. And the fact that they are funding
a business venture which a US senator, now you centator
is involved in, has got to raise red flags. No
pun intended, No pun, well pun intended. Maybe, So we've got.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Information on that. I think that's a situation. Will continue
to monitor as it relates to Mark Kelly. And we
also just this week, Peter, have done some reporting on
another senator, someone who also, by the way, was involved
in the Russiagate collusion and hoax, and that is your
good friend, longtime California politician, current Senator Adam Schiff.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, it's interesting. Adam Schiff has been accused and is
under investigation by the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud
by claiming two primary residences at the same time. This
is called occupancy fraud, and people wonder, well, is this
really a big deal. It is actually a big deal
because you get lower interest rates, you get tax benefits,
and you save a lot of money by doing this.
(27:28):
What Shift did is in two thousand and three, he
bought a home in Maryland, and then he bought a
condo in California in two thousand and nine. In two
thousand and nine, he claimed also while he refinanced the
Maryland home. He claimed them both as his primary residence,
and he got a tax advantage in both states by
doing so, and he saved a lot of money. We
(27:50):
broke this story back in twenty twenty four when a
California based real estate agent, Catherine bish reached out to
us she shared with us the documents. We're all about
paper trail. That's what we do at the Government Accountability Institute,
and what it clearly shows is that he was claiming
two homes at the same time as his primary residence,
and in May of twenty twenty five, he became under
(28:12):
investigation after being referred by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
What's interesting is if you look at the law, there's
actually serious penalties for this. This is not just some
sort of flunky thing, some technical detail. According to the
US Federal sentencing guidelines, this is poured out by the DOJ.
(28:32):
The base offense is six to twenty four months in
jail if you have no priors, which Adam Shift does
not have as far as I know. If you plead guilty,
you might get home confinement under these federal guidelines, but
you're going to pay a fine of three hundred thousand
to seven hundred thousand. There's also a lot of civil penalties.
You're going to lose your law license, you can permanently
(28:54):
lose your ability to get federal financing on mortgages, et cetera.
It's going to destroy your credit and the IRS is
going to look at any financial benefit you got and
make you pay taxes on it. So this is a
big deal crime and it's going to be interesting to
see how it proceeds because one of the biggest frustrations
we run across in America is do the rules apply
(29:14):
to everyone? And there are people that had been prosecuted
for this, there are people that have gone to jail
for this, and people are frustrated because it seems like
if you have a you know something before your name,
like senator or congressman, you can engage in insider trading,
you can engage potentially in mortgage fraud and it doesn't
matter because the rules are not going to apply to you.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, the inside of trade and stuff we have news
on after this break and coming up in the next
hour with Representative Tim Burchett. But I will say to
your point, we hear all the time because of America.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
We hear from you.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
We hear from you when you spawn to our podcast
to drill down. We see the comments that you leave
on articles. You're so tired of just being told about
who's doing what wrong and you want people to be
held accountable. And Adam Shift's you know charges on mortgage fraud.
I think are an example of that. Now, the pushback is, oh,
this is just Donald Trump going after his political opponents. Right, So,
when Jim Comy admits he lies to a federal grand
(30:05):
jury and he actually gets charged for that, is that
upholding the law? Or is that Donald Trump prosecuting a
political opponent. When Adam Shiff appears to be in violation
of the law, is that actually accountability or is that
kind of politically motivated stuff? As far as you the
listening audience goes, what we're trying to do is help
you tomorrow. So like what you if you're at the
Thanksgiving dinner table and you find out that a relative
(30:26):
is potentially interested in purchasing home. You say, oh, she
talked to Adam Shift about that. He can probably help
you get a better rate. And they go, I don't
know what you mean. You go just google it and
you get up and you go do something else. I
promise that's a way.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It is an absolute winner. And you can also guide
them on why they don't want to do what Adam
Shift did and apparently engage in mortgage fraud because it
will get you in serious legal jeopardy. Join the conversation
calls at we'n't ahead or nine four one seven three
two six. We want to hear what happens at your
Thanksgiving table when it comes to discussions. Do you discuss politics?
(30:59):
Do you avoid it? Please give us a call let
us know.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
He's Peter Schweitzer, Americgars. This is the Sean Handy Radio Show.
We're back right after this.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Uncovering evil and defending the truth.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
You're on the Sean Hannity Show. Hi, this is Peter Schweitzer.
(31:45):
That is Eric Eggers. We are filling in for Shawn
on the Sean Hannity Radio Show. We are going to
get to your calls. Please join us. WINN one hundred
and nine four one see two six. We are monitoring
the situation in Washington, d C.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
We have an update, Eric, Yes, unfortunately, we have very
very sad and tragic news to pass along. We told
you at the beginning of this program that two National
Guardsmen had been shot. That suspect has now been in custody.
We know that there had been a ground hault in
Reagan National Airport, and we can now report what the
governor of West Virginia is tweet. I will read it
to you now. He says as of nine minutes ago.
(32:19):
It is with great sorrow. This is Governor Patrick Morrissey.
It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both
members with the West Virginia National Guard who were shot
earlier today in Washington, d C. Have passed away from
their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in
the service of their country. We are an ongoing contact
with the federal officials as the investigation continues. He continues,
(32:40):
Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones,
and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their
service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability
for this horrific act. That is the Governor of West
Virginia on the two National Guardsmen who were West Virginia
residents who lost their lives the day before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Serving in Washington, d C. Helping to make the citizens
there safe. We don't know the motive of the shooter.
We understand that he is in custody, and we don't
know if it's connected to the broader atmosphere that is
being spread about resistance within the military, the need to
disobey orders. We're going to monsure that situation again. But
(33:18):
it's just so tragic to think that somebody is targeting
members of our armed services that are volunteering to protect
their country, to protect their fellow citizens, and to do
so in such a brazen way just a block or
so from the White House.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
What we do know is not in addition to the
atmosphere of you have active members of Congress encouraging military
personnel to resist what they considered to be unlawful orders,
you also remember have gotten a number of elected officials
in the context that these are National Guards troops. These
weren't police officers in Washington, DC. These are people who
have been in other cities vilified, yeah, and being told
(33:54):
that you are inflaming civil unrest, all them Nazis, call
them lots of names. Win In fact, the stats, as
you know Peter Schweitzer's show, The Opposites happened in Washington,
d C. Violent crime is down significantly because of their presence.
These National guardsmen have made Washington, d C safer, not
more dangerous, and they have lost their lives as a
result of their service to this country. It's a tragedy.
(34:17):
We will continue to bring you more information as warrants.
He's Peter Schweitzer. I am Eric Eggers. We host the
podcast called The Drill Down. We're filling it for Sean Hannity.
We'll be right back after this more Seawan handy program.
Here's the news.
Well, we'll come out to your city. Want to play

I ain't come along.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No one represents the party.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
The only person that can represent the party is a
presidential nominee who will be chosen by the party members
who vote in the primary.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that
has not led to safe communities.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
To let you know what we're all doing resisting this
low down.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Dirt and no good felt. The resident of the United
States of America.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Freedom is back in style. Welcome to the revolution Away,
up coming to y'all, senter, play against allaz and sane
you a conscious song. Sean Hennity show more me. I'm

(01:18):
solutions for America.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Hey America, it's Peter Schweitzer. We are filling in for
Sean Hannity, who's taking a well needed rest. I'm going
to be joined today by Eric Edgars. We co host
a podcast called The Drill Down, Happy Thanksgiving Me Everybody.
We want you to join the conversation. We want you
to call in at one eight hundred nine four one
seven three two six nine four one seven three two six.
(01:42):
We've got a lot of ground to cover today. We
have some breaking news Eric up in Washington.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, unfortunately, as many of you probably heard during the
news break, we have a shooting. At least two National
Guards people have been shot in the Washington DC area.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
The White House is currently on lockdown, as is the
Treasury Department. We've got to We've got Metro police on scene.
The shooting, it says, occurred at the intersection of seventeenth
and I. So you know, even when more information becomes available,
we will join any kind of press conferences or information
in progress. It's a tragedy in Peter Schwiz, as we've
(02:18):
discussed before on our podcast, The Drill Down. It flies
in the face of the larger trends that had been
happened as far as crime in the Washington DC area
since the National Guard were deployed. You've got robberies down
forty six percent, homicides down fifty three percent from this
time last year. Unknown what the motives are, how tragic
we are told noword on the condition of the guardsmen
(02:38):
at this time.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That's right, We don't know the motivation, we don't know
what happened. We're going to continue to monitor that for you.
There are other things going on in the world today
that we're going to touch on. We've got the Ukraine
deal that the President has been pushing. It's gonna be
interesting to see how that pans out. I like Trump's
approach here. I think it makes a lot of sense,
and I think this is going to be good for
(02:59):
Ukraine and for world peace. We have the so called
sedition video that was put out by a Senate Democrats
and others basically telling members of the military that they
should not follow illegal orders. But we're going to break
that down in greater detail because I think it's important
to understand really what is going on here. It's not
(03:20):
what the people that put out the video want to
pretend is going on. It's something very very different.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, there's a couple different dynamics and work there, and
I think you very correctly point out some hypocrisy within
the left on their position. You say, you know, we
can't allow a aggression to succeed. That's the position of
these people in this video. But your point is that's
not a principle they apply universally.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, I mean the argument that they make for Ukraine
not making a deal until they get all of their
territory back, which by the way, is not a realistic goal.
They lost that territory in twenty fourteen to in Crimea
that's not coming back. But the left has embraced this
principle to criticize Trump's deal by saying, you are rewarding
aggressive behavior if you have this peace deal in Russia,
(04:06):
get something out of it. What's interesting to me is
they don't apply that same analysis when it comes to
domestic crime. They're rewarding violent, aggressive behavior all the time
in terms of you know, supporting these liberal prosecutors, these
liberal judges, these no bail agreements. So I think what's
really going on the opposition to this deal is primarily
(04:27):
they don't want Trump to have a win. That's what
I think a lot of the criticism is if you
look at the deal itself, obviously it's a living document,
which I think is a great way to do this.
It's object to subject to negotiation. It's kind of different
from the days of Henry Kissinger in the nineteen seventies
or you know, during the George W. Bush years, where
(04:48):
diplomacy everything is behind closed doors. There's nothing discussed. Trump's
strategy is to kick the doors wide open. Let's have
this discussion, this debate in public. And I think that
makes a lot of sense. But you've got Ukraine having
to make territorial concessions. On the other hand, Russia one
hundred billion dollars of frozen Russian assets in the West.
(05:09):
They will be given to Ukraine and this deal for rebuilding.
And there's also security guarantees for Ukraine. But a note
of optimism as we enter the holidays, I think this
deal has real possibility. It's kind of modeled on the
Gaza peacekeeping deal. So let's hope that this is a
good sign.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, it's an interesting show. Peter and I are thrilled
to be with you. It's a tough first note to
begin with. You've got a shooting in Washington, DC, and
as we noted, we'll continue to monitor as events warrant
and provide any information as soon as we can. But
it is the last day before Thanksgiving, and so you know,
we have other things that we'd like to discuss. We'd
(05:47):
like to let you into and send you into your
Thanksgiving break. In a more optimistic or positive mood. Peter
Schwitzer on our last episode of The Drill Down, we
did information about there's a poll showing more Americans.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I was surprised by this.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
More Americans actually want to talk politics over the Thanksgiving
Day dinner table.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah. Yeah, this surprised me as well. And by the way,
we'd love to have you call in. What is your
experience about talking politics at the Thanksgiving Day table? Does
it go well? Or do you have a disaster story?
Hopefully not again, you can call in one eight hundred
and ninety four one seven, three two six. Script's news
service came out with a survey and the headline is
most Americans find political conversation at the Thanksgiving table to
(06:29):
be entertaining and informative. This is despite experts saying it
should be avoided. So growing up now, do you avoid
politics at the Thanksgiving table?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, most of the people I would speak about politics
with it by Thanksgiving table or children, So yes, although
I do delve into the elementary school politics. My daughter's
the vice president of a first school student council. For her,
I'm very proud of her. But no, it's interesting because
we're told ironically that we're so divided. Yeah, although I
wonder if that's true now in this second Trump era,
(07:02):
because it does seem like in the first Trump era
you saw so many protests and you know, and now
like the closest you get is these no Kings things right,
and the vitriol seems to not really be there. And
I think that's because it's generally acknowledging.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, Look, we're kind of all past it. Yeah, yeah,
I think you're right. And look, I think if you're
gonna have a conversation to the Thanksgiving table, make it authentic, Okay.
A lot of these liberal groups, The ACLU has issued
a holiday conversation guide. These are talking points that you're
supposed to go through completely canned. They also say, make
a donation to the ACLU and the name of the
(07:38):
person you're debating for Thanksgiving, but make it organic, have
a discussion, have a real conversation. And our goal today
over the next three hours is to help you be
better at the Thanksgiving table, because you know, you're gonna
have Uncle Joe, who's served in the National Guard in
the nineteen eighties, who's gonna have plenty of opinions on
the military strategy for Venezuela. And you're going to have
(08:00):
Aunt Sally, who once had an exchange student from Ukraine,
tell you how things need to be handled in Ukraine.
We're going to try to elevate that conversation by informing
you too, one of.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
The people who's going to help us elevate that conversation.
We have a couple of really good guests that are
going to join us in the four o'clock hour. One
of them is Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett. He's rapidly becoming
a favorite of mine. Now he may not know, but
he is advancing an issue legislatively that's been a big
priority of ours here at the Government Accountability and stud
(08:29):
You wrote a book on insider trading over a decade ago.
He's advancing a bill, Peter Schweizer, if you can believe it,
that would actually ban members of Congress from buying and
selling individual stocks.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What an amazing idea, What an amazing concept.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
And so not only can he talk about that, and
I think you'd be very excited to hear his ideas,
and he's you know, there's some fun back and forth
between him and other members on Twitter. One of the
representatives that as the richest member, one of the richest
members of Congress, I support this idea. He's like well,
as one of the poorest members.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Of the promiss, I also support it.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But in addition to getting into the insider trading deal
and why we should absolutely ban it and all the
different reasons behind that, he also is on the Foreign
Services Committee, and so he can weigh in on the
merits of this Ukraine deal and if it's actually going
to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, Yeah, We're gonna break that down with him. And
then at the bottom of that second hour, we're gonna
have a conversation with an official in Utah. Very interesting
things going on in the state of Utah in terms
of the congressional delegations, the districts, how those are drawn.
There's a judge that is apparently doing some pretty shocking
(09:34):
things to try to jerrymander a district in the progressive direction.
We're going to talk about that. That's actually a common
theme of the show. We've got crazy judges all over
this country. We've got this judge in Utah, We've got
this judge in DC who's apparently been putting gag orders
on every dang request to get phone records from members
of the House and Senate as part of the Actor
(09:55):
Frost scandal. Nineteen members of the Senate House now we're told,
had gag issues ordered on their phone records in despite
federal law that suggests that should not happen. And we
also have a judge in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
We're going to get into fraud and how much of
your tax money is being wasted or stolen and even worse,
apparently making its way to terrorist organizations. And in the
context of that, you've got one jury actually said hey,
we think this is fraudulent, and a judge decided just
recently to overturn it. So we've got a lot of
interesting news all over the country. We've also got stories
(10:31):
about Adam Schiff and his mortgage fraud. We've got a
small business Administration program that's being exploited left and right,
and lots of the things that you might not know about.
Who knows what you'll want to deploy the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Table, that's right, there'll be plenty of material as you're
passing the ams that we will give you ammunition that
you can use. But we want to hear from you too.
We want to hear your thoughts about the issue of
politics at Thanksgiving? Do you discuss it? Do you avoid
talking about it? And I'm not saying force it on somebody,
but do you engage and how does that go? You know,
(11:02):
it's interesting that the left, a lot of the groups
have produced these talking points to try to force the conversation.
Is that something you do or do you avoid it
all together? Ethan Turkey take an app and watch football? Well,
I think football exists for the people that are losing
the conversation. You know what, We disagree, but the Lions
are on and that's something we can both unfortunately relegate
(11:25):
ourselves too.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
We do have some just a quick note. We mentioned
at the beginning of the show that there was a
shooting in Washington, d C. We're now being told that
a suspect is in custody and so we'll continue to
keep you updated. Is more information is broken in that area,
of course, of tragedy to National guardsmen shot in the Washington,
DC area. We're going to take a break when we
come back. We mentioned some more news as it relates
(11:48):
to this video that's being deployed by Democrat members of Congress.
You've got one of those members of the video Mark
Kelly Center from Arizona. Some information you might not know
about out him and why the new investigation as directed
by Pete he Seth, is but the latest in a
series of information about him that seems the opposite of
(12:10):
his current public persona. He's Peter Schweizer. I'm Eric Eggers.
We do a podcast called The Drill Down. This is
the Sean Handy Show. We're back with you right after this.
America listens to Sean Hendany and he's on.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
On right now. Hello America, it's Peter Schweitzer. I'm here
(12:56):
with Eric Eggers. We're filling in for Sean. Call in
please on nine four one, seven, three two six. We
are monitoring the situation in Washington, d C. Two National
guardsmen have been shot. We do not know the motivation,
We don't know the particulars of the case. But you
have to realize this happens against the backdrop of this
so called sedition video, where we had prominent Democrats, including senators,
(13:19):
essentially telling military personnel members of the intelligence community don't
carry out Trump's orders when you think they're illegal. Listen
to the video here. We want to speak directly to
members of the military and the intelligence community to take
risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you
are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust
(13:40):
their military, with that trust is at risk. This administration
is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community professionals against
American citizens like us. You all swore an oath to
protect andy then this constitution. Right now, the threats to
our constitution aren't just coming from a broad but from
right here at home. Our laws are clear.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You must refuse illegal orders.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No one has to.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
We know this is hard and that it's a difficult
time to be a public servant.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But whether you're serving in the CIA, the Army, or Navy,
the Air Force, your vigilance is critical.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And know that we have your back. Now.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It remains unclear what potential illegal orders they might be
referring to, and when asked specifically about that, sender, Elisa
Slockein had this to say, So, let's.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Talk right now.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that
are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that
are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related
to Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Legal gymnastics should be noted as called practicing the law,
not actually doing anything illegal. Peter Schwatzer, your reaction to this,
and I think your point as it relates, I mean,
for to this tragedy that these nowtional guards troops being
shot again. Don't know the motivation, right, but it speaks
to a larger thing that the Democrats appear to be
doing from a messaging standpoint.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, I mean notice in that video, by the way,
they did not say if you're a military officer and
you have a question about in order to go to
a jag officer, go to an attorney in the military.
If you have questions, they don't say that, they say,
refuse to carry it out. You look further at some
of the things that Democrats are saying is illegal, the
use of military forces to deport immigrants, the military attacks
(15:31):
on vessels in international waters, Venezuela, any invasion or attack
on Venezuela or Nigeria, the use of preemptive military force
against Iran, that's the bombing of Iran. The point here
is they have this massively vague definition. Anything they don't
like Trump is doing with the military, they're essentially saying,
is an illegal order, and they're telling military personnel to
(15:54):
put their situation on the line by violating this and
ending up going to jail. This actually happened in twenty twenty,
if you remember, they deployed the National Guard with the
George Floyd riots. There were National guardsmen that refused to
be deployed. They got in deep legal trouble, and of
course the people that are encouraging them to do that,
they walked away and did another television interview.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
It should be worth pointing out that Donald Trump is
the commander in chief of the military, and so you
have people who are not him telling active members of
the military it's okay to defy in order. That's probably
not okay. In fact, it's so not okay that current
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called on the Navy Secretary
to investigate quote potentially unlawful comments made by Senator Mark
(16:38):
Kelly from Arizona. He of course has a military background
of himself, and so people are saying, listen, it's you know,
there are consequences words have consequences. Rhetoric sometimes lead to action.
We were all sort of living in a post Charlie
Kirk environment. We see that better than anything. So yeah,
it'll be very interesting to see what happens. But this
is not going to just go unchallenged by the white.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
No, it's not, nor should it, because here's the thing.
There is an honorable tradition in the military. If you
disagree with a policy, if you disagree with an order officer,
they call it later stars on the table. You say,
with respect, sir, I resign my position. That's not what
they're telling people to do. They're telling people to stay
in the military and fight within the military to avoid
(17:21):
what they believe to be in illegal order. This is
political play acting as far as I'm concerned, and they're
trying to portray it as bravery. It's not bravery at all.
It's it's dishonorable.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
It's political play acting from the same script. Unfortunately as
the people that brought you the government shutdown that cost
people thousands of dollars worth of hard earned salaries. He's
Peter Schweizer, I'm Eric Eggers. We're not resigning anything. We're
here with you all afternoon. Feeling in for Sean Hannity,
give us a call, onenty hundred and nine one seven three, two,
six and nine for one Seawan back after this.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Law Hannity less big government. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
This this is Sean Hannity's show. This is not Sean Hannity.
This is Peter Schweitzer filling in. We are monitoring the
situation in Washington, d C. Where we've had this horrific
shooting of two National guardsmen. The suspect is apparently in custody,
and we are talking We don't know the motive of
(18:37):
the shooter, but we're talking about this against the backdrop
of this Sedition video that has been put out by
some senators and other prominent Democrats.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, just to update it, Peter Schweitzer, we have two
troops have been shot, critically wounded. The suspect also wounded.
We're told as in custody. The White House is on lockdown.
President Trump has been briefed, and the latest piece of
information that we have is that depart to Ronald Reagan
are grounded due to security. So there's been a groundstop
ordered at Reagan National Airport for security reasons. You can
(19:07):
imagine what that's doing to holiday travel on the day
before Thanksgiving. As he noted, he is Peter Schweizer. I
am Eric Egres. We do a podcast called The Drill
Down where we cover lots of issues related to federal
government corruption, cronyism. Mark Kelly, who is someone who features
prominently in this sedition video, is someone from whom we've
(19:27):
previously reported on, and that is somebody that Wes from
Florida wants to talk about it. If you want to
join us here on the show, it's one hundred and
nine four one seven three two six. That's the number
Wes called, who lives as we do in the Free
State of Florida. Wes, how are you doing.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I'm doing great, gosh, how are you. We're good in Jacksonville,
you probably know, is a huge military town. I'll get
to the point. I thought the video of the Seditious
six was suspicable and subversive. I believe they're traders. I
(20:02):
believe they can't quite understand that they're not in charge.
Elease Slotkin does not run the military. We don't answer
to Elise Slotkin. And what they tried to do in
that video was a pernicious life, and I despise it.
(20:24):
This city won't stand for something like that, and I
think it's about time for some accountability guys. I mean,
you can't keep doing these kind of things. Your words
have they stick with you, stepping stones they break my bones,
but words have permanent damage. And these guys are submersive
(20:47):
or subversive, and they're trying to tell our military that
they can disobey the commander in chief. That's the fundamental
they hate Trump so much.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, I think you said it very accurately, and as
we pointed out earlier, again in the video, they don't say,
if you have a question about an order, whether it's
legal or a lot, go and get a JAG officer's
opinion or confer with somebody. They say, just don't follow
the order.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
So I couldn't help. But I'm not sure which part
of that video struck you, Peter, But to me, it
wasn't addressed to the military specifically, but when they said
the intelligence agencies, because you and I have done this
long enough to remember, and we have seen we now
know instances of which the intelligence community didn't just not
participate in a thing that the commander in chief might
(21:34):
have wanted to do, but have actively worked against and
to undermine and to remove that person from office, right,
I mean we I was just in Washington, d C.
Last week and I saw members of the National Guard
patrolling the streets and I thought, this is this military city.
We're told it's actually just normal people standing on the street.
(21:56):
But I was there because Susan Krabtree, with whom we
work on au pot guess called on background, was receiving
or she was presenting an award for journalism, and the
people that won the award this year was about like
the Russiagate collusion and exposing the hooks and exposing the
ways that the intelligence community while Donald Trump was president,
was feeding misinformation and lies to journalists who then turned
(22:21):
around and reported it and then won awards for reporting
lies fed to them by the Intelligence Committee, who were
only doing so to undermine the sitting president of the
United States.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah. I don't know when it happened, but at stark
to the extent that has happened, which is how liberal
Democrats became favorable towards spooks. I mean they love spies now.
I mean it used to be they were the ones
in the seventies, the Church Commission CIA is too powerful,
it's unaccountable. Now they want a CIA that actually is
(22:53):
unaccountable too elected officials, namely the President, and they're encouraging
them not to do what they been asked to do.
And I think the reason Wes's call is so important
is he's exactly right. This is again not resigning honorably.
I disagree. I don't want to carry out these ords.
That's fine. You can do that as a flag officer.
(23:13):
What you can't do is try to subvert what elective
officials want you to do. And you happen to disagree
with that policy preference.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
And know, by the way, as you well know, because
you helped break the story about Hunter Biden when the
intelligence community was unsuccessful in proving that Donald Trump was
a Russian asset, a story by the way, that originates
from reporting we did on Hillary Clinton's campaign and her
ties to Russia because of the Clinton Foundation. When that
didn't work, they then were successful in feeding more in misinformation,
(23:41):
this time about the Hunter Biden laptop and getting that
information withheld largely from the American public, an issue that
we know would have helped swing the twenty twenty election
in a more significant way than it did, so I
guess to me, that's my biggest takeaway. You see these
Democrats that say, well, we're kind of used to this.
This is the privilege that we have existed in. Yeah,
(24:01):
we think we're allowed to tell the intelligence community to
work with us because they always have.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah. Yeah. There was a phrase in the nineteenth century
in the UK that stayed for a long time. It
was called the loyal opposition. We're opposed to who's in power.
We don't like the policies, but we are loyal to
the country. We want the country to do well. We
have a different vision about how it's supposed to get
that way, but we're going to be loyal to it.
(24:25):
That is not This is not a loyal opposition in
that sense. This is an opposition that says we are
going to undermine the authority of duly elected officials. We're
going to declare any military action we went through the
list earlier, any military action that Trump's engaging it. We
don't like he's taking out these drug votes. You as
a military officer can refuse to carry out that order
(24:47):
because we've decided it's illegal. It's complete and total chaos,
and they know that they are trying to sow chaos,
as they've done it in our streets, they're trying to
do the same thing in our military.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Meanwhile, some of the people in the video may have
been adjacent at least as some of the chaos that's
already been sown in this country. You remember Peter Schweitzer
when we had that big old balloon flying across the country,
the Chinese balloon, and some people said one of the
reasons why they didn't want to shoot it down is
it was more likely to land on Chinese owned land
than it would have the United States because of how
much we've given.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Away to the Chinese under Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
But speaking of Susan Crabty, an excellent reporter from Real
Claire Politics, she tweeted this not too long ago, if
Mark Kelly is trying to lead a s edition against
the Trump administration, why hasn't any senator or Tulca Gabbard
asked about what I first reported years ago that Mark
Kelly recruited.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I did not know this.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Chinese company Tencent to fund. Apparently Mark Kelly owns or
it was involved with a stratospheric balloon company they got funding,
So he was connected to this balloon company worldview. They
got funding from Chinese company Tencent at two different times.
That company, by the way, also employees Mark Kelly's daughter,
(25:59):
And so this is happening right before then, this balloon company,
they were involved in space tourism when they were getting
this Chinese money, and then they said, Okay, now we're
going to pivot the defense stuff. And apparently the Chinese okay,
we're out. We're not interested in funding something involved in
the US defense work, is.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
What we're told. Yeah, and by the way, ten Cent
is not just like oh a rando Chinese company. Ten
Cent is joined at the hip with the Chinese Industrial States.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
National Bank of Beijing.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
No, it's not, it's not. They do a lot of
sensitive work for the Ministry of State Security. They are
highly trusted by the Chinese Communist Party. They are joined
at the hip. And the fact that they are funding
a business venture which a US senator, now you centator
is involved in, has got to raise red flags. No
pun intended, No pun, well pun intended. Maybe, So we've got.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Information on that. I think that's a situation. Will continue
to monitor as it relates to Mark Kelly. And we
also just this week, Peter, have done some reporting on
another senator, someone who also, by the way, was involved
in the Russiagate collusion and hoax, and that is your
good friend, longtime California politician, current Senator Adam Schiff.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, it's interesting. Adam Schiff has been accused and is
under investigation by the Department of Justice for mortgage fraud
by claiming two primary residences at the same time. This
is called occupancy fraud, and people wonder, well, is this
really a big deal. It is actually a big deal
because you get lower interest rates, you get tax benefits,
and you save a lot of money by doing this.
(27:28):
What Shift did is in two thousand and three, he
bought a home in Maryland, and then he bought a
condo in California in two thousand and nine. In two
thousand and nine, he claimed also while he refinanced the
Maryland home. He claimed them both as his primary residence,
and he got a tax advantage in both states by
doing so, and he saved a lot of money. We
(27:50):
broke this story back in twenty twenty four when a
California based real estate agent, Catherine bish reached out to
us she shared with us the documents. We're all about
paper trail. That's what we do at the Government Accountability Institute,
and what it clearly shows is that he was claiming
two homes at the same time as his primary residence,
and in May of twenty twenty five, he became under
(28:12):
investigation after being referred by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
What's interesting is if you look at the law, there's
actually serious penalties for this. This is not just some
sort of flunky thing, some technical detail. According to the
US Federal sentencing guidelines, this is poured out by the DOJ.
(28:32):
The base offense is six to twenty four months in
jail if you have no priors, which Adam Shift does
not have as far as I know. If you plead guilty,
you might get home confinement under these federal guidelines, but
you're going to pay a fine of three hundred thousand
to seven hundred thousand. There's also a lot of civil penalties.
You're going to lose your law license, you can permanently
(28:54):
lose your ability to get federal financing on mortgages, et cetera.
It's going to destroy your credit and the IRS is
going to look at any financial benefit you got and
make you pay taxes on it. So this is a
big deal crime and it's going to be interesting to
see how it proceeds because one of the biggest frustrations
we run across in America is do the rules apply
(29:14):
to everyone? And there are people that had been prosecuted
for this, there are people that have gone to jail
for this, and people are frustrated because it seems like
if you have a you know something before your name,
like senator or congressman, you can engage in insider trading,
you can engage potentially in mortgage fraud and it doesn't
matter because the rules are not going to apply to you.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, the inside of trade and stuff we have news
on after this break and coming up in the next
hour with Representative Tim Burchett. But I will say to
your point, we hear all the time because of America.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
We hear from you.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
We hear from you when you spawn to our podcast
to drill down. We see the comments that you leave
on articles. You're so tired of just being told about
who's doing what wrong and you want people to be
held accountable. And Adam Shift's you know charges on mortgage fraud.
I think are an example of that. Now, the pushback is, oh,
this is just Donald Trump going after his political opponents. Right, So,
when Jim Comy admits he lies to a federal grand
(30:05):
jury and he actually gets charged for that, is that
upholding the law? Or is that Donald Trump prosecuting a
political opponent. When Adam Shiff appears to be in violation
of the law, is that actually accountability or is that
kind of politically motivated stuff? As far as you the
listening audience goes, what we're trying to do is help
you tomorrow. So like what you if you're at the
Thanksgiving dinner table and you find out that a relative
(30:26):
is potentially interested in purchasing home. You say, oh, she
talked to Adam Shift about that. He can probably help
you get a better rate. And they go, I don't
know what you mean. You go just google it and
you get up and you go do something else. I
promise that's a way.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It is an absolute winner. And you can also guide
them on why they don't want to do what Adam
Shift did and apparently engage in mortgage fraud because it
will get you in serious legal jeopardy. Join the conversation
calls at we'n't ahead or nine four one seven three
two six. We want to hear what happens at your
Thanksgiving table when it comes to discussions. Do you discuss politics?
(30:59):
Do you avoid it? Please give us a call let
us know.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
He's Peter Schweitzer, Americgars. This is the Sean Handy Radio Show.
We're back right after this.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Uncovering evil and defending the truth.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
You're on the Sean Hannity Show. Hi, this is Peter Schweitzer.
(31:45):
That is Eric Eggers. We are filling in for Shawn
on the Sean Hannity Radio Show. We are going to
get to your calls. Please join us. WINN one hundred
and nine four one see two six. We are monitoring
the situation in Washington, d C.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
We have an update, Eric, Yes, unfortunately, we have very
very sad and tragic news to pass along. We told
you at the beginning of this program that two National
Guardsmen had been shot. That suspect has now been in custody.
We know that there had been a ground hault in
Reagan National Airport, and we can now report what the
governor of West Virginia is tweet. I will read it
to you now. He says as of nine minutes ago.
(32:19):
It is with great sorrow. This is Governor Patrick Morrissey.
It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both
members with the West Virginia National Guard who were shot
earlier today in Washington, d C. Have passed away from
their injuries. These brave West Virginians lost their lives in
the service of their country. We are an ongoing contact
with the federal officials as the investigation continues. He continues,
(32:40):
Our entire state grieves with their families, their loved ones,
and the Guard community. West Virginia will never forget their
service or their sacrifice, and we will demand full accountability
for this horrific act. That is the Governor of West
Virginia on the two National Guardsmen who were West Virginia
residents who lost their lives the day before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Serving in Washington, d C. Helping to make the citizens
there safe. We don't know the motive of the shooter.
We understand that he is in custody, and we don't
know if it's connected to the broader atmosphere that is
being spread about resistance within the military, the need to
disobey orders. We're going to monsure that situation again. But
(33:18):
it's just so tragic to think that somebody is targeting
members of our armed services that are volunteering to protect
their country, to protect their fellow citizens, and to do
so in such a brazen way just a block or
so from the White House.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
What we do know is not in addition to the
atmosphere of you have active members of Congress encouraging military
personnel to resist what they considered to be unlawful orders,
you also remember have gotten a number of elected officials
in the context that these are National Guards troops. These
weren't police officers in Washington, DC. These are people who
have been in other cities vilified, yeah, and being told
(33:54):
that you are inflaming civil unrest, all them Nazis, call
them lots of names. Win In fact, the stats, as
you know Peter Schweitzer's show, The Opposites happened in Washington,
d C. Violent crime is down significantly because of their presence.
These National guardsmen have made Washington, d C safer, not
more dangerous, and they have lost their lives as a
result of their service to this country. It's a tragedy.
(34:17):
We will continue to bring you more information as warrants.
He's Peter Schweitzer. I am Eric Eggers. We host the
podcast called The Drill Down. We're filling it for Sean Hannity.
We'll be right back after this more Seawan handy program.
