Hello, and thank you for joiningme today on the Private
Investigator Experience podcast.
I'm your host, Phil Little, andwhat a week have we had, or 10
days.
Are you still running in circlesor blowing in the wind of all
the things that's happening sofast?
Are you able to adjust to themall?
You know, on the show, we talkabout the life and times and
(00:27):
cases of a private investigator.
talk about our internationalclients, our domestic clients
and the kind of cases they cometo us with.
And I'm getting a lot ofrequests now from out around the
world about what can they expectfrom the United States.
And as an investigator, we worka lot for clients to give them
information, doing deep diveinvestigations, doing due
(00:47):
diligence.
And I do all this from mymilitary law enforcement
intelligence service, a globalsecurity background.
And I just add a touch of mybiblical worldview.
And I want us to, look today atsome of the issues that are
going on in our country andaround the world.
What has happened in the lastnine days and why it happened,
(01:08):
what led to it, and what we canlearn from it, and how we can
make sure that it goes on formore than just four years.
I'm reminded of my friend And acoworker at the French National
Police that ran my operationsout of our intelligence
gathering station there.
(01:30):
And he was head of Thecounterterrorism unit.
I remember when I was going toFrench National Police in those
days, he was handling the Carloscase, Carlos the Jackal, and he
was a famous terrorist at thattime.
It was a kind of a myth.
He was a phantom.
And of course, a lot of thingsgot attributed to him that he
didn't do, but there was a fouror five foot case, high foot
(01:54):
case file at my friend's desk.
And I would look at those filesand.
Imagine that I was on the trailof Carlos the Jackal, and I
remember him telling me, hesaid, the best thing in France
was that when the Socialists gotin power, they lasted for four
years, and then they got kickedout because the public had
(02:16):
learned how bad they were, andthey didn't get back in for
another 40 or 50 years untilthat generation was gone, and a
new generation came up thatreally didn't understand what
had happened then, and you wouldsee that cycle again.
Well, I think some of thathappened in the United States.
In November, the American peoplefinally had enough of the
(02:36):
leftist, leftist, Marxists,socialist, attitudes that was
sweeping and policies that wassweeping the radical left, the
Democratic Party lost its way.
that old Democratic Partydoesn't exist.
It's radical.
And people just are fed up withit.
So many of my Democrat friendssaid they voted for Trump and
(02:59):
many of them has left the party,most of them becoming
independents, a few becomingRepublicans.
So there was a shift and theybrought it on themselves.
The Democratic party brought iton themselves.
I'm reminded that it's a lotlike that in many things in
life.
I remember in terrorism, it wasthe same way I started my career
(03:20):
in.
Israel, southern Lebanon in theseventies.
And that's where I learned aboutterrorism and what's the
Israelis work and how theyhandled it and dealt with it.
and then my first book, hostileintent came from that journey.
I started there to find outwhere does terrorism really come
from?
What's its purpose is itsorigins.
And then that led me.
(03:41):
Around the world in theseventies and eighties and
nineties when, in the eightiesparticularly was just a terror
haven across Europe with attacksand, all across in England,
Germany, France, Italy.
And, the terrorists, what theydid and how they brought their
minds down and really stoppedthe spread was they overdid it.
(04:03):
And they overdid it by having 12attacks one day in Paris, 12
bombs were off.
And that caused the Frenchpeople just to rise up.
And say enough's enough,government do something, you're
not going to get away withletting these guys live here.
And the deal was in France atthat time, there was this kind
of unspoken deal that they hadwith the government.
(04:25):
We won't attack on the Frenchsoil, but we'll live here.
And they had that going and alot of them were living there
and being protected and nobodywas coming after them.
And after this event.
Then the public demanded thatthe government do something.
So we saw that in, in, thestate.
And there's a lot of factors,much more than back in that 70s
(04:48):
and 80s time.
In Europe, it was a one issue.
It was about terrorism.
It's about, they wanted tochange the way of life.
And, the terrorists of that daywere young.
people, most of them.
they came from very affluentfamilies.
They were well educated and theygot disgruntled with, their ease
of life, I guess.
they, wanted to change it intothat utopian socialism that,
(05:11):
everybody would be equal andeverybody would come along and
get along just fine.
Well, that didn't work out toowell.
And so, but in the States, itwent way beyond that.
We don't only have SocialistMarxist, tendencies coming.
We had DEI, diversity,inclusion, equity, And, then we
(05:31):
had gender confusion.
Then we had CRT, corrupting thelives and minds of our
kindergartners up through, intocollege.
And we've seen the results of, alot of that happens.
And, with the anti Semitism,which I'll get into later.
So, there's, the, the left herein the United States brought
this on themselves.
(05:51):
Thank God, enough Americanpeople woke up.
To give not only the ElectoralCollege, to, President Trump,
but the popular vote, which,made it where it was impossible
for the left to rig, like theydid in 2020.
They stole some congressionalseats, there wasn't any
question, down in California, itwas one place.
(06:13):
They kept counting for 30 daysalmost, and kept coming up with
more Democratic ballots.
Wow, that was interesting.
so, but the general electionitself was too big.
And that stopped them fromtrying to do what they did in
2020.
And, unfortunately, most of theDemocrats that are on the
(06:34):
leftist side still haven't gotthe message.
Some have.
but, now, senators andcongressmen are starting back
that it's, Trump hating,bashing, Actually, they've been
on for the last few years, sowe'll have to see how this plays
out.
My challenge and call to theAmerican people is become your
(06:55):
own investigators, rise up inyour community.
Get involved and find out whatis going on.
So you can remove people fromoffice that are corrupted your
children's lives that are tryingto push this diversity and
inclusion and take away.
people's rights and not having amerit based system where the
best person gets a job, man,woman, no matter what race,
(07:17):
color, creed, the best persongets a job and that's what the
American life has been built onand what it has to get back to.
so this voting shift came about,because of these, events and The
actions and policies, the left,the difference really in this,
(07:39):
election, with what happenedbetween the election and
inauguration that November thefifth to January the 20th, we
saw a complete change and adifference than we'd never seen
before.
the world started coming tovisit, President elect Trump, he
was acting in many cases andtook action on things around the
(08:00):
world and caused things tohappen, even though he wasn't
president yet.
And Biden was kind of, nowhereto be found at times.
And, Harris was, definitely not,exposing herself.
the world, it was obvious thatthe world was waiting for a
change in America.
When, President Trump went tothe, reopening of, Notre Dame in
(08:23):
Paris, he was greeted like a,hero and, there were over 80
heads of government there.
They all came to talk to him.
during the ceremony, Mrs.
Biden, who went to represent,Joe, and, the government, she
was seen chatting, very friendlywith, president Trump.
They were laughing and talkingback and forth.
(08:45):
So, the Trump charm had spreadacross, many different, arenas.
And, we saw as it continuedduring, the lead up up to the
inauguration day, that Trump wasgiven his voice in knowing the
Middle East, to Russia, to nato.
to the UN and he was, lettingeveryone know that change was
(09:06):
coming.
America was coming back and thathe was going to, bring about a
strong America.
That was good for everybody.
It's not good for Americans.
It's going to be good for theworld now.
What was the first actions thathe took?
And I'm, the reports I'm givingto my clients when they request
(09:27):
this from around the world, giveus your take on what's going to
happen and what's the climategoing to be like for us doing
business there and longevity is,is it going to be tariffs on a
particular part of the world?
What do you think, you know,what's assessment, what's the
feel on the ground and, whatgood American people feel like,
(09:48):
well, These first actions thatPresident Trump took was the
executive orders.
And I, I was fascinated by, Iwas watching him, on the
inauguration night, even beforehe went to the White House, but
he was there signing.
The executive orders and thepress was just bombarding him
(10:10):
with questions.
He would stop, he would sign hisfirst name, stop, he'd look at
this reporter and he would say,Oh, and he would back and forth,
you know, and then go ahead andsign his name and he kept this
up doing.
I don't sign enough.
15, 20 or whatever it was,there's that one stretch and
people were laughing and saying,after this first couple of days,
(10:31):
Trump has spent more time withthe press and Biden had done in
four years.
And it was obvious that, andthere was a huge amount of press
there.
I mean, there was 40 or 50 atleast, that's huddled, huddled
around and they were all gettingtheir questions in and he was
asking them all.
Answering them all, even thoughthey were some from reporters
that were trying to trip him up.
(10:52):
So, that was his 1st step thathe did.
Promises made, promises kept.
He's going to bring the countryback.
He's going to bring oilproduction back to where we're
not dependent on othercountries.
He's going to bring prices downby reducing this oil dependence
(11:15):
on the world.
And he's going to restore, theAmerican common sense that two
genders, you know, the Bible ispretty clear on that from my
biblical worldview, I find it,I've always known there was two
genders.
That's all God made.
God said he made man and woman.
So.
He brought that back.
He's outlawed DEI and CRT ingovernment, across government.
(11:39):
No other flags can fly at ourembassies out around the world.
And he's taken more action inthe first nine days.
It's been wild to watch.
And CNN was reporting a coupleof days ago.
They didn't really, um, wouldenjoy reporting this He has
been, he's the most likedpresident.
(12:02):
His ratings are higher, pollsare higher than any other
president at this time in thesecond term.
And it's because he's takenaction.
The American people asked forresults.
He promised results.
And now it's critical that the,Senate and the Congress, follow
along and they stay in step withhim, not being, broken apart
(12:26):
like they've, been in the paston issues that bottom line is
none of us gets everything wewant in a situation in life.
as an example with, uh, acongressman or senator.
Maybe that's going to be a billthat's got 70, 80 percent of
this good stuff, but that's thethings they would like to be in
it.
Well, they need to go along witha majority that's going to do
(12:51):
good for the country.
And later on, work on gettingthose things that they're
focused on, not disrupting thewhole process.
And destroying the, theRepublican focus of doing what
the people have said, I thinkall these, Congressmen should
remember there's anotherelection coming up in two years
and the people will be watchingboth the Senate and the House
(13:15):
and how they operate.
So, what was the initial benefitfrom, these actions that, that
he's taken?
Well, The world had seen thatthere is that new sheriff in
town that's not going to justsay don't, as the former
president said so many times,nobody listened to him, Iran
(13:37):
didn't listen to him, Russiadidn't listen to him, nobody
listened to him.
But when this new man now,President Trump says don't, it
means something.
we've got, we're back in, we'rebeing respected in the world.
Because America, the world wantsa strong, America, they realize
(13:58):
that their freedom and theirfuture is based on America being
strong.
I remember when I was buildingmy intelligence gathering group
out around the world, going fromcountry to country, setting up
stations, recruiting people.
I would be talking to leadersmany times and heads of
government agencies, and theywould tell me so many times,
(14:20):
Phil, if we could sit down andtalk to your government leaders,
like we talked to you, then wecould solve the problems of the
world.
We could get along.
And too many times our statedepartments get staffed by this
level that's under theappointment people that always
stay there.
they're embedded and theydevelop these ideas.
(14:44):
And many times they sway thepolitical appointees to their
way of thinking and, and we havethese actions many times it's
pro military, pro militaryaction when we should be using
that as a last resort, doingeverything preventive that we
(15:04):
could, everything, with,discussions that, we could
before we jumped the military.
And that's what president Trumpis doing with his appointees,
getting people that areextremely capable.
Just think of the people thathe's appointed and think of the
strong women that he's gotaround him.
(15:25):
Pam Bondi, the, new attorneygeneral, no pushover, he's,
going to click a button, takeyour name, and he's not going to
be pooched around by anybody.
And the new Homeland Securitydirector, Krist Noem, that woman
is something else, a rancher, Amother, grandmother, and the
governor, and a formercongressman, and it's amazing
just to watch her.
(15:45):
You would never think of meetingher if you didn't know who she
was or what she did.
But when she addressed the staffthere at, Homeland Security when
she went in after she'd been,sworn in, she made it very
clear.
I mean, she came acrosspolished, smooth, nice, we're
going to get along, We're goingto make a difference.
We're going to do what PresidentTrump wants done what he was
(16:05):
elected to do, and that's allthese issues of closing the
border, cleaning up, getting thecriminals off the streets, the
illegals back to the countrywhere they came from, and making
America safe again.
And then Tulsi Gafford, I, youknow, there's so much flack
going in her, and I don't knowwhy, this woman's amazing.
(16:26):
And, she's what Trump needsthere in the balance of DEI, the
Director of NationalIntelligence, She's a military
veteran, a lieutenant colonel.
She's got all that experienceand for her war is a last resort
and this will give him abalanced view of intelligence
and say, how do we assess thisand I'm just, I can't understand
(16:50):
how people don't.
That have seen what's happenedin the last four years, what
they've lived through many ofthem, and then they fight, Trump
every step of the way when he'sgoing to bring change that's
going to benefit everybody.
then, he's made some other gooddecisions, which were to, that
trips he made the first trip, hewas, Monday was the
(17:12):
inauguration, Friday, he left ona trip to two disaster areas.
The first one he went to wasNorth Carolina.
And that was amazing.
Not only did he show up thereand Melania's wife went with
him, First Lady.
They talked and met with thepeople, real people.
I mean, people that, weren't theup and outers.
(17:33):
At this point, they're the downand outers because they've lost
everything.
And they're just normalAmericans.
And he gave them the mic.
He said, tell me your story.
Tell the nature of your story.
They told about how FEMA had letthem down, how they'd gotten no
help.
but some organizations likeSamaritan's Purse and others,
and other people, Elon Musk hadgiven hundreds Of star links
(17:55):
there for communication and onand on other people's lows.
And I think some other builderswere given materials and
builders were building smallhomes for people.
So, he let it be known you'renot forgotten.
And he told the core ofengineers get in here in force
and get these roads back, buildthem back, get the,
(18:16):
infrastructure back work untilso people can move around.
They can have some freedom.
And get back to having some hopethat they will have a home
again, and they're not theforgotten Americans anymore, as
they were under formeradministration.
and I'm sure most people in theStates know or heard, if you're
(18:38):
been awake at all that FEMA hadtold their employees, if you see
a Trump Sign on the homes, bypass it and once they try to
deny that now, Trump is lookingat, eliminating, FEMA and making
a state resource where moneywill be funneled to the states
(18:59):
that handle these, Devastationsthat happened because they're
better equipped if they got themoney and the funds and the
federal government will helpthem with things they don't
have, but it will be them doingit under their governor or
elected officials, not from afederal, group, which, like the
President said, it's slower.
there's a lot more red tape andit slows everything down to get,
(19:22):
to the people what they need.
Then he was on the Los Angeles.
And in this trip, he was atypical, well, he got off the,
airplane and tarmac andGovernor, Newsom was there and,
give him a hug and a kiss on thecheek.
And he was gracious.
And even in the set down where,the mayor was there and, other,
(19:46):
local officials, but he didn'tpull any punches.
He was called him right out.
To their failures and how theyhad messed up to, in not
preparing and not being, notjust being planned for.
And he did say, we're gonnahelp, we're gonna help
California.
But there's gonna be somerestrictions on what has to be
(20:07):
done to help prevent future,events because the Santa Ana's
will be back next year inSouthern California.
And the same thing can happenagain, so he set the stages and
he's letting it be known to notonly domestically, but around
the world.
I think, it was very pointed andthe world got the message.
(20:28):
They sent a plane load ofColumbians, criminals back to
Columbia.
Well, they refused to let themunload there.
And when President Trump heardthat, he gave the order to the
State Department and othersappropriate to put a 25 percent
tariff and to cancel all visasand everybody coming to the
(20:52):
United States.
And if in seven days, it wasstill not settled to reduce, to
increase the tariff to 50percent within six hours.
The president of Colombia, whois a Marxist, how they got him
elected, who knows, but, he hada change of heart and they said
(21:14):
they will gladly accept the,Colombians coming back.
And the world now knows that ifthey sent us their worst, if
they don't want to take themback, it's going to cost them
and cost them a lot.
So, I'm very optimistic now.
I'm an optimist, but let me tellyou, during the last, four
(21:37):
years, I had become a pessimist.
I really thought that, we didn'thave many options for our future
and we were headed downhillreally fast.
I really felt Leading up toNovember, one or two things were
going to happen.
There's two stories in theBible, the Old Testament, many
of you, I'm sure know them.
(21:59):
One was about the city ofNineveh and he was sending
Jonah, which was a prophet, tothe city to call them to repent.
They were evil, real evil, wayworse than what we've got going
on here and everything onsteroids and Jonah didn't want
to go.
(22:19):
But he got the message and hewent, and Jonah, went and
preached and told the peoplethat God was bringing judgment
if he didn't repent.
Well, the king of Nineveh andthe leaders accepted it.
And called for the city andsurrounding areas to repent,
they put on sackcloth and ash,which in those days meant that
(22:41):
they were in mourning andrepented they wiped out the
idols and all of the evil thingsthat were going on.
and God, gave them another 70years when they fell out of,
again, went back to their oldways.
Nineveh was one, and I said,we're either going to be like
Nineveh, which, heard themessage that God had repented,
or we're going to be like Sodomand Gomorrah, which it was evil,
(23:06):
real evil.
And in the Bible, it says hecame down himself.
God came down himself in theform of man.
And came to Abraham and talkedto him and went into the city of
Sodom and Gomorrah to see if itwas as bad as he was hearing in
heaven.
That's something that seemspretty bad, but God himself will
come down.
(23:28):
Excuse me, I'm still dealingwith a little bit of the
aftermath of a strep throat.
And, they didn't repent and,uhGod destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah.
do we, we were at this crossroad thankfully, millions and
millions of Americans rose up,prayed and asked God, have mercy
(23:49):
on our nation.
And he did.
And he's given us a time, Ibelieve now the rebuild, change,
preach out all this evil and,worshiping idols and, other evil
things.
So, We have before us a greatopportunity, but it's we, the
(24:09):
people have to be involved.
We can't just expect a newadministration to do officials
and.
Department government heads,they could be the right people
and do all wonderful things, butit's going to take all
supporting this to make surethat we get this locked in.
By law, so that somebody can'tcome along later and change it.
And also we want to be.
(24:32):
So effective.
Doing what was promised for theAmerican people that four years
from now, they will keep, thesame group in power with a, new
president and someone who ispart of this, solution, not a
problem.
And so, we are looking at, Somany obstacles, but they're all
fixable.
They're all doable.
(24:53):
If together, we will come outand get involved.
Well, what would the differencebe in the Middle East?
This is an area I'm veryfamiliar with.
I've been in and out of theresince the 70s.
I was on the ground in June the6th, 1982, when the Israelis
went through the Good Fence outof Mattua into, take Mofok
(25:16):
Castle, which was shelling downon Israel, every night, missiles
into Northern Israel.
And, it was, My first trip intosouthern Lebanon, and I'd
mentioned that's where my firstbook Hostile Intent came from,
but we were in a convoy goingacross the ridge above the
Ritani River.
We'd come in from the good fenceto out of Metula and headed
(25:38):
north towards Beirut, then rightout across the ridge above the
Ritani River, and BeaufortCastle was on the other side, a
few miles away.
You could see it.
It was a big, imposing castle,been there for centuries, And as
we were about halfway across, wehad five or six jeeps in the
convoy and they kept switchingback and forth so that people
(25:59):
wouldn't know, which jeep majorHaddad the leader of Free
Lebanon, Haddad was in.
And as we were driving along, wewere just enjoying the sights
and scenry and the driver said,look out, incoming missile.
And we all thought, Oh my God,we're in a war zone.
We heard about this.
We didn't think it was reallygoing to happen.
And he laughed and said, oh,don't worry.
(26:20):
They don't have guided missiles,and they don't have good aim.
Sure enough, they didn't, theymissed it.
But, that was the 1st missilethat shot at me.
and with all my time in the, inthe military and other things
that I've done.
So.
I've watched this, Middle Eastspiral out of control, then it
was the PLO, which was trying toset up a homeland.
(26:41):
And that's what led me toreally, try to find a source of
terrorism.
Where did it come from?
Where did it start?
And what can we do about it?
So I, learned from that firstvisit that the dangers, and I
was back there many times afterthat, setting up, early warning
devices on, we'd put a radiostation in southern Lebanon and
had a television station there,to help, Major Haddad and his
(27:04):
people.
And, there was, a lot of evilgoing on, attempting to stop
everything we were doing, and,to, push the Israelis, out of
southern Lebanon, which theywere the only ones that were
supporting and protecting the,Christians in southern Lebanon.
So, now, the difference is,instead of having someone in the
(27:25):
White House that says don't, andthey know that he's not going to
do anything about it, we have apresident that's going to say
don't.
And they're going to say, whoa,we're going to stop.
So immediately, I Iran.
It's thinking twice about whatthey do.
Even Hamas, to some extent, youknow, Hamas is a group of thugs.
(27:47):
And, they've got this ideologue,viewpoint that they're supposed
to kill every Jew on earth andeliminate the Jew from the
world.
And so these aren't people thatyou could even talk to or reason
with and it's been shown thateven anything with Hamas is one
of the worst.
they don't keep their word.
And I've said this before,they're not going to release all
(28:09):
the hostages, because if theydo, they realize they're going
to be eliminated real fast.
And the only thing that's heldthe Israelis back, completely,
cleaning up that mess there, isthe hostages.
Israel's concerned about them.
And Israel's also concernedabout the Palestinian people.
They.
have been careful andindependent studies from
(28:31):
military people and others thathad nothing to do with Israel
say that Israel has done more inprotective civilians than any
other armies ever done It's soit's been very obvious and they
have risked their lives andcaused the lives of Israeli
soldiers by being so cautiousand warning.
(28:52):
what they're going to do beforethey do it.
And if, if you see thedevastation and destruction in,
In Gaza.
It's so interesting.
Today, I was just watching, somefootage from Gaza.
This was an area where thesepeople were well dressed.
They were out far looking andhaving fun.
(29:14):
they were in any American city.
cars zipping around everywhere.
plenty of gas, plenty of food.
These people sure weren't,struggling and, this was down in
a southern tip of Gaza there.
And, then the people want tohead back north to where, it's
still, you know, terrorist,strongholds there, but the
cities has just been destroyed,so, and that whole area.
(29:37):
So, it's going to take, I don'tknow, What, and how this can be
solved?
Because Hamas only wants thedestruction of Israel.
They won't negotiate on anythingelse.
It's not going to be a twostate.
I've said this before.
There's not going to be a twostate solution.
It'll never happen.
(29:57):
Because we could go all the wayback to, the Bible times,
Abraham's son, Ishmael andIsaac.
And I talked about, that and Godsaid that he would, have a
nation developed out of Ishmael,even though he was not the
chosen heir of Isaac or ofAbraham, Isaac was.
(30:18):
And we have, these issues thatpoliticians just don't seem to
understand when, and I'm hopefulthat President Trump and those
around him, and there's peoplearound him that know the Bible,
that know history, that knowwhat land was given to Israel as
an everlasting possession andknow that there wasn't any
(30:41):
Palestinian, people, in thehistory, this name came up, and,
actually it came about in, rightafter the first century when the
Roman Nero had Got so fed upwith the Jews that he took away
their name and called themPalestinian.
But really, the Palestinian namewas given to Jews first.
(31:02):
And Gaza was originally the homeof the Philistines, not some
Arab group or Palestinian group.
And that's all in history.
It's all recorded.
It's all there if anybody wantsto look at it.
So we need to get informed.
(31:23):
We, the people, you, me, we needto become good investigators,
find out what the truth reallyis.
And then, see who's following,what is right, following our
constitution, following ourJudeo Christian, values of,
protection of life.
(31:43):
And, and stopping all this,pornographic material even done
in kindergarten books and genderconfusion on our children, which
it was a big factor in theelection, which, parents had
said enough, no more of this.
And, I don't understand why anypoliticians, could follow
(32:04):
through on this.
And a lot of these that havechildren of their own that would
support it and try to protectit.
So.
I'm hopeful now that we've seenthat there's been a rising up in
America, that we will continueto rise up and we will come
together, the volumes ofindividuals, will become an
army, to support through,different political things that
(32:28):
we can do, not violence, butthrough voting, I think.
And letting our voice be heardand in a necessary recalling
people that's been done manyschool boards across the country
have been totally cleaned outand righteous men and women have
been put in taken over wherethey're going to protect the
(32:48):
mind of their children.
So.
and we, we have that now, backin California again, there's a
petition started to recallNewsome again, and they're
talking about what, I don't knowwhere it started yet on the
mayor, Karen Bass, because theyfailed in their duties.
I don't care if they're aDemocrat, Republican,
Independent, or Libertarian, orwho they are, they failed and
(33:08):
somebody needs to be heldaccountable.
Then, to me, that Middle East isthe, it's the most dangerous
situation that President Trumphas to deal with.
And unless we understand whatthe, what's causing it, anything
(33:29):
we try to do will be a band aid.
And as before I've mentioned,the danger is that we'll get
drawn into it then.
and that is something we reallydon't want.
We don't want more.
blood and treasure of our, youngmen and women, paying the price
for some politician's war.
So, let's stay vigil and, maybe,maybe you aren't a Christian.
(33:52):
Maybe, maybe you believe in God,but you're just not really into
that thing.
pray.
You know, just ask God.
Simple.
You don't have to have aknowledge of some, prayer that
has all the D's in the housethat say God.
Amen.
Amen.
Come and bless Israel, help,help President Trump and the
other leaders in Israel solvethis problem that won't lead to
(34:14):
further bloodshed and a biggerproblem.
You know what happens manytimes?
It's happened in business, and Idid this early on in my
business.
You go out to solve a problem,and you get in a hurry.
I mean, you don't understand thewhole issue, so you create two
bigger problems by the one yousolved.
So, that's a danger that we haveis.
(34:35):
Middle East trying to solve thisproblem.
We're going to create a muchbigger problem.
I saw a message that Trump hadgiven to the leaders of the
Middle East.
He was very emphatic.
I mean, he was, well, nopunches.
He told them all of what wouldhappen if, There wasn't a peace
(34:58):
coming to the Middle East and itwould be in their individual,
each country, for them to becomepart of the solution and help
develop, even expand the AbrahamAccords and work to neutralize
terrorists.
Saudi Arabia did that in theirown country.
I was part of that.
I was there on the ground.
I had an office in Saudi Arabiafor years and in Riyadh.
(35:19):
And, Saudi Arabia, was cleaningup the terrorists.
They cracked down hard when theyrealized they were victims and
they were targets of Al Qaeda,not just, the U S or Israel or
some other place.
they took it seriously and theyeliminated them.
Well, we know they can do thatbecause they did.
(35:40):
And other countries could to,other countries have been soft
on supporting, particularlyHamas and the billions of
dollars that have gone in toHamas with the top leaders.
And I saw this laid out, Forbesactually did this.
So it wasn't some hit piece bysomebody or some thing, but
(36:01):
somebody's imagination thatshowed that those five top
leaders had, a 4-5 billion.
In, personal holdings,individually, but they had built
and they had all these hugebusinesses and homes and places
and, all kinds of trappings andwhile the people in Gaza were
(36:21):
suffering and, being, abused byHamas on the ground, if they
didn't pull the line and obeyeverything they were told, and
then Hamas was taking This aidthat was going in, stealing it
and then selling it to the,Gazing people at inflated
prices, even though they didn'tpay for it, they just stole it.
(36:43):
So, this is, something that, weneed to be paying attention to
when we need to be, thinkingabout, what can we do to be part
of this solution?
That's been my whole challenge.
When I first started talkingabout terrorism back in the
early eighties, I was part ofthe white house outreach group
(37:04):
when Reagan, was president andspeaking on terrorism.
And I had hundreds and hundredsof meetings in those years early
eighties, and before theOlympics in Los Angeles, talking
about the dangers of terrorismand how to prevent it.
This was, something that weneed, to be paying attention to
(37:24):
again today, preventing thingsin many places, undercover
operations by, the police agencyto ferret out, the criminal
ailment have been taken away,so, we need to, pay attention to
that.
ensure that our cities, localgovernments, state and federal
governments have the tools theyneed to have preventive
(37:46):
resources in place to protectthe citizens.
Well, what about this issue withRussia and Ukraine?
It's in a place where bothparties want to settle.
Even the last couple of days,Russia has, Putin has put out.
Information from, some pressconferences that he is
(38:08):
definitely open to and eager totalk to.
Excuse me, President Trump and,Zelenskyy also, wants to settle.
So this can be settled.
And I believe we're going to seethat done quickly.
Obviously there are issues withboth sides.
Putin, was evil.
He's wrong.
He's a thug.
He's a murderer.
He's a, KGB guy still is, shouldhave never gone into, Ukraine,
(38:34):
and, pretty much what he wassaying, he was concerned about
NATO, getting into Ukraine andUkraine becoming part of NATO.
Well, he has NATO in Poland andaround him and other places, but
the big reason here was thatpart of, Ukraine that sits right
on the border, that there was aRussian enclave there, a lot of
(38:54):
Russian speaking people that heannexed back in 14, I think it
was, wasn't it?
Yeah.
So, he thought that, because hewould see bad information, I'm
told that, he has people aroundhim and he likes to hear how
good things are.
And he was being told apparentlythat this is going to be a few
(39:15):
day event, their weak willoverrun him and we'll be, in
Kiev, in three or four days incontrol.
Well, as we know, that didn'thappen.
They messed up really bad.
Not only was their equipmentmalfunctioning and breaking
down, I mean, setting ducks forthe Ukrainians, the Ukrainians
(39:35):
were much more prepared, with awhole lot better weapons than
what thought they had.
So, now, he's learned thatlesson.
and sitting down in any thingthat we do where there's two
sides to something, whether it'sin a business, it could be in a
marriage or a relationship or afamily, whatever it is, the
(39:57):
government, we have to sit downand say, okay, what's your
issues?
What's your issues?
well, we can live with this.
We can live with that.
And here's a way that we can getthat settled.
it brings, righteousness to it.
I mean, you can't, and don'twant to reward a dictator, an
evil person for what they did,but there's gotta be a way to
(40:17):
stop this carnage that's goingon, and I believe we're going to
see, we'll see that happen.
It's going to be much easierthan what's going on in the
Middle East.
Then we have, NATO.
What is the situation with NATO?
NATO obviously has never reallyhad to fight a, a war and, the
(40:39):
U.
S.
has put more money than NATO to,support NATO, to support Europe.
And I, I believe, and, and Trumphas been very vocal on this,
that, that needs to change.
And that needs calling Countriesto give 5 percent of their gross
national product.
Well, I think we, I was, I waslistening to an expert last
(41:04):
night that was talking aboutthis and he said that I think
we're like a 2.
1 or 2 traditionally for our,our defense spending, but he
said for us to get the 5.
With the level that we've hadadvancing would take us like 20
years, and unless obviouslysomething was, different, and
(41:26):
you had to put a lot more intoit, like, say, during the Second
World War or something, it wouldgo faster, of course.
So, when you look at theEuropean countries, most of
them, they'll think about, well,how fast would it take them to
get to 5%?
It would take a long time.
So, there's got to be, butthere's got to be a way that
they start doing more for theirown.
support and particularly somethat weren't really doing
(41:49):
anything, in those early yearsbefore Trump's term.
And I, I haven't heard a report,this recently of what it's at
right now, if there's any thataren't paying anything, but,
he's going to have a strong handwith that and we're going to see
some changes in this.
Well, his, cabinet members, thefirst, cabinet member that was
(42:09):
put in his, office was thesecretary of state.
And I've told my friends outaround the world that are
talking to me, what can weexpect from the United States is
judge what you see by the peoplethat he's putting in.
It's a state department, thedefense department, Attorney
General.
Homeland Security, Director ofNational Intelligence, and all
(42:30):
these other, Treasury Secretary,on and on, and we need to keep
going, and Ambassadors even,gives you an indication that
things aren't going to be doneas usual.
And so what did, I knew theSecretary of State said, and it
was interesting, I wasn't asupporter of Trump.
When he first, started running.
I thought we need some youngblood.
We need to now get young peoplein and we need to have a change.
(42:54):
And I was really leaning towardsRubio back in that time.
And then when president Trumpgot the, Nomination, of course,
I supported it.
I found out pretty quick why hewas the best person for the job
because he was an outsider.
and even though he was upagainst odds, he didn't have any
idea that he was going to be upagainst.
He still did amazing.
(43:15):
Thanks for the country.
So, but now, we have, The newsecretary that he was.
in the Senate, I don't really,remember him, doing a lot of
things.
I don't, he wasn't a standout,of course, somebody that was out
(43:35):
there getting attention.
Somebody that was, banging thetable to get notoriety.
But what he's done, as I'velistened to him, I listened to
him at the, first, statement hehad in a gathering he had with
employees at the, StateDepartment, and what he talked
about doing, and it's obviouslyhe's on the same page with
(43:55):
Trump.
the first thing he did was takedown all the flags across the
world, and it wasn't an Americanflag, only flies.
He eliminated all DEI.
He, you know, it's cleaninghouse.
it's the State Department andgetting rid of, many of the
holdover, progressives thatwere, a lot of the problems.
(44:19):
And so it's a breath of freshair We cut off all foreign aid
going out for 90 days to reviewwhere it's going, what it's
being spent, and is it meetingthe mission of helping America
and helping people too.
And this is an example of what'sbeen going on.
(44:40):
With the new Doge, Elon Musk,and I'll get into that in a
minute with.
the Vick and all that, the flackand the misinformation again,
it's been going on, but, underElan direction, at, O& B, they
found this week, and it was,well, it was either last Friday
(45:01):
or Monday, they discovered, eventhough Trump had stopped
everything going out, he'd cutoff funding to the WHO, the
World Health Organization, whichwas, is a disaster.
and it cut off all money goingto Gaza, boondoggle, but they
found out ready to go out was,like 37 million going to, who in
(45:26):
violation of Trump's order and50 million going to the Gaza for
the, Condos.
For condos.
Condos?
Have you looked at Gaza?
Have you looked at the situationgoing on?
(45:47):
Of course they stopped it.
And that was, Just an example ofwhat DOGE is going to do to cut
down on unnecessary expenses anda government which has been out
of control the way they throwaround and put money out into
people's hands and particularlysending it into, Gaza.
(46:12):
And, look what happened withwhen President Trump made it his
first time.
The nation was at, what, lessthan 2 percent and a half of
inflation.
Gas was 170 a gallon across thecountry.
We were energy independent.
We didn't have to import anyoil.
(46:34):
Prices were down.
Interest rates, I had a 2.
25 percent veteran home loan.
And on and on it went.
Iran was broke.
You weren't seeing the terroristactivities like had been going
on the years before because theywere broke.
They didn't have the money to doit.
Instantly when the formeradministration Biden went in,
(46:58):
they released money going toIran and billions and billions
started pointing to Iran.
And that's when the buildupstarted, to, build up Hezbollah
and Hamas even more.
I just don't get it.
and I'd love to have somebodytell me, hey, if you understand
why these people did this, sendme a comment, send me an email,
(47:20):
which I'll give it in a littlebit.
about why did they do this,thinking that, negotiating, be
nice to Iran, giving them money,being soft on them would help
them be nice and like us, whenthat would against everything
(47:42):
that, we know is real.
I don't get it.
So, someone, can you explainthat to me?
I'm just a farm boy fromMissouri.
I grew up on a farm.
I understand cattle and horsesand, and ranching and, and, the
crops in and out and milkingcows and, I understand all that.
Snow in the winter that was upto the fence posts for three or
(48:03):
four months.
Yeah, no more.
Don't want to go back to that.
But, that's reality.
I don't get this.
So, well, let me know if you canfigure that out.
And then over to the Departmentof Defense with Pete Hedsef.
that was amazing how they triedto kill him.
from getting, not literally, butto stop him from becoming a
(48:26):
defense, a head of defense.
But, he made it and he'salready, got, things happening.
and remember, I built abusiness, had up to 1, 500
employees.
And there was a lot I didn'tknow.
I didn't have any collegeeducation.
I didn't have any training.
I was just blessed by havingpeople help me.
And I realized a lot of things Ididn't know.
Yeah, I'm a visionary.
Yeah, I could build things.
(48:47):
Yeah, people would follow me.
But I wasn't an administrator inthose days.
I didn't understand all thestuff of wanting to run a
business.
I didn't want to.
So I got people around me.
That could do that.
Well, he's doing that at,Department of Defense.
What I've heard was that, abillionaire businessman who is
leaving the head of his businessand turning that over and he's
(49:08):
coming in to be, assistant thereat the state, at Defense
Department.
To help Pete in theadministration organization
side.
Also, there will be generalsthere that will be promoted and
up.
There'll be a lot of generalsthat will be gone, which some of
them are already on the way outfor, what their actions have
been, and Pete has also followedup on President Trump's promise
(49:33):
to bring back any of themilitary veterans who were Fired
and kicked out because theywouldn't take the jab.
That, it wasn't a vaccine.
It was experimental.
It said that.
It was never a vaccine.
So, they got that in play.
And now, they're, getting DEIout.
(49:55):
So that training will get backto the way that it was meant to
be.
And getting the strong militaryready for action, and they'll be
so ready for action, they'llnever have to be used because
it's peace through strength.
Well, there's so much we cantalk about here.
As I wind this thing down in thelast few minutes, the U.
(50:16):
N.
is out of control, and now wehave a new ambassador to the un,
She is a go-getter.
Another one of those strongwomen that Trump that's going in
there and kick butt and takenames.
And she, says that, the UN haslost its way.
It's an let's say, haven forterrorist and, antisemitism and
(50:38):
all events that were not meantto be part of the un.
In fact, when the UN was formed,it was to prevent another,
attack on the Jewish people, andit was meant to.
develop relationships betweenthe countries to foster
supportive things that wouldhelp countries grow and be a
positive influence.
Well, it's gotten a long wayfrom that.
(51:00):
And there needs to be a lot ofchanges and she will bring
change.
If you watched her, when shetook on the, presidents of,
Harvard, Columbia and Yale?
Was it or?
I can't remember now which otherone it was, but.
at Congress where she was aCongresswoman from Upper New
(51:21):
York and he tore them apart.
They, they had nothing to say.
Actually, they all wind upresigning.
She got rid of all of thembecause of what she did.
So there's good news there.
We're, developing new,relationships and we're going to
be a force for good in theworld.
Well, what is, what has happenedwith DEI just in America?
(51:44):
After Trump, not elected,companies started, sliding all
the way, out of, the DEI, theystarted deleting it, eliminating
it, and, I've, got someinformation here.
I've been reading that, evenbefore the executive order, and
(52:05):
all this massive, Programs thatBiden group has set up.
Trump calls these DEI programsillegal and immoral, which is
very true.
the companies that started, infact, you know, McDonald's was
one that started early on, butthese, companies now have
abandoned or rolled back orgetting rid of all of their
(52:26):
commitments or program relatingto diversity, equity, and
inclusion.
And just before I get into thesecompanies, I think it was the
Department of Labor that theywere interviewing the former
head of that.
And they're talking aboutgetting rid of DEI.
And when they asked her, well,how many people would this mean
(52:48):
to go?
She said, oh, about a hundred.
A hundred?
They had a hundred people withthe salaries they were making
just playing with DEI at theLabor Department.
Think about that.
All of the departments ofgovernment and state department,
military, treasurer, everywhere,White House, thousands of people
(53:11):
in DEI, unbelievable what theydid to America on our watch.
And we led them to, well,companies like Amazon, they, in
December, they said it waswinding down, DEI, Boeing,
dismantled theirs.
In fact, they starteddismantling in 2023.
(53:32):
Brown and Foreman, the JackDaniels maker, you know, we
don't talk about Jack Daniels,do we?
they announced the nameCaterpillar will no longer
participate in the Ford, nolonger participating.
In all these, issues.
John Deere, Lowe's, McDonald's,Meta, which is Facebook, the
(53:52):
biggie.
you know, we've heard himtalking about that and what he's
done.
Target, the one that, developedand put all these gender, oh,
diversity.
Displays with the, with thegender confusing closing for
young children is 5, 6, 7, 8,they paid a big price for that.
(54:15):
And now they have concluded thatit's, Not working and they're
getting rid of a tractor supply.
That was another big one.
That's, in Texas and around.
There's a big Texas boy.
They tried it and they got sucha backlash from their,
customers, which were ranchersand farmers and just real
people.
Toyota same thing.
Walmart will phase out though.
(54:36):
All these, companies, Costco,Cisco, Apple, Delta.
on and on.
in just a matter of weeks, thedifference that Trump has made
to wipe out these kind ofprograms that are so devastating
to our country.
Now, one other thing, in thisline with DEI.
(54:59):
Might have heard, I don't knowwhere, how many did, but Davos
the economic forum, PresidentTrump spoke at that and in that
group with a lot of the big,heads of companies that really
were proponents and started thisand, and, helped encourage DEI,
they were there setting.
(55:19):
And Trump just called it like itwas.
He just said, we're eliminatingall this.
It's been a detriment.
And he just systematically tookit apart.
And I suspect there was a lot ofvery uncomfortable people
sitting there.
Does he, does Trump talk abouthow the American people had said
enough, enough.
So there are, other foreigncountries dropping DEI.
(55:44):
Javier, Millie, the president ofArgentina followed him.
and he said the same thing.
They're eliminating it andthey're bringing Argentina back
to common sense, merit base, andeliminating all this social
justice stuff.
El Salvador president.
When, if you followed anything,it's amazing what happened in El
Salvador.
(56:05):
When, he became president backin.
2019 and, he saw that they werethe murder capital of the world.
the gangs were everywhere takenover and he saw the only way
they were going to be able toget back control is if they took
the gangs out of the street.
So he put together a task forceof police, military, and in a
(56:26):
matter of weeks, they hadrounded up thousands of, these,
gang members.
And now, I think the last Iheard is like 50 or 60, 000 they
have in prison.
El Salvador, right now, wentfrom the Most unsafe country in
the world.
It's the safest country in theworld.
(56:49):
People are flocking back to ElSalvador that even came to the
States because there'sopportunity and security and
safety there.
the hungry, prime minister, heis also, Orban, O R B A N,
Orban, the prime minister, he isalso taking his country out of
these kind of disastrous, thingsthat DEI and other social
justice back to merit.
(57:10):
There's other EU countries thatare waking up and are starting
to follow along with Italy.
Italy had, that woman, theleader of Italy, and she is,
also, transporting out illegals.
She's cracking down on crime,and, she is really making a
difference there In Germany, Isaw an interview by one of the,
(57:33):
rightist parties, smaller party,but it looks like she's headed
to be the next, chancellor inGermany.
Alice, Elon Musk interviewedher, and they went through all
the things that had happened inGermany, and now disasters.
I didn't realize how bad it wasin the economy there.
And all of it only happened fromall of the millions of illegals
(57:55):
they let in.
But, in their, gas and oil andeverything that's happened, they
depended on Russia, so they'rein trouble.
But if she now is, along thelines of a Trump and Argentina
and Italy, a leader that willbring some sane, common sense
back to government.
So it's happening folks outacross the world.
(58:17):
And now we just have to keepthis going.
It's real turning because theprogressives will keep coming
back.
They're not going to say, Oh,okay, they won.
We might as well give up and gohome.
No.
They will build while we're,sailing along.
And if we don't keep ourantennas up while we're saying,
(58:38):
Oh, everything is great.
They'll be planning that nextbig move, which could sweep us
off, our feet.
Another, thing that I watch isour second amendment rights
being military law enforcement.
All the things I've done have alot of guns.
got them over the years at onepoint, back in the, 80s there in
California, I had, probablyeight or 900 people carrying
(59:01):
guns, issued out like a policedepartment and, we didn't have
any problems.
people were well trained.
It was a whole different era,but, now.
There's been, California hasobviously had this attacks on,
on guns and gun ownership.
And they've kept, even thoughthe Supreme Court gives these,
decisions that should give usmore freedom, they keep,
(59:24):
sometimes just ignoring it tomake the people, sue them
because they know they're notgoing to be any penalties if
they disobey the Supreme Court.
And that's bad.
most of us would obey a SupremeCourt order if they could.
That's the Supreme Court.
We have to obey that.
Well, another state, Washington,which I had had a home in many
years ago and spent a lot oftime in, I had a concealed
weapon permit out of Tacoma upthere.
(59:47):
And I went in to see the sheriffand he gave me a permit, which
was blanket without maimingweapons.
In California, you could putthree weapons, I think it was,
on a concealed weapon permitwhen you could get it.
And I had one, both of myresidence in San Diego County.
but, like in Texas now, Idaho,and many others, Montana, on and
(01:00:08):
on, they get a concealed weaponpermit that covers anything I
carry, and it's automatic aslong as you don't have a
criminal record and you canlegally, you know, not a,
terrorist or got a mentalproblem, I heard something,
yesterday, and this is happeningright now, In the state of
Washington, this is going toaffect every gun owner, and it's
(01:00:30):
new law that they've written,they're getting ready to push it
through, and probably it'll gothrough and the governor will
sign it and all indicationsunless something happens and
enough people rise up.
If you're a gun owner inWashington, every gun you have,
it can't be a blanket.
If you own 20 guns, it's not oneyou will have to have.
(01:00:50):
a insurance policy, a 25, 000insurance policy, liability
policy, on every gun you own.
That means if you've got ahandgun or two or three, every
one of those will have to have aseparate policy.
If you've got a shotgun, arifle, AR or something, every
one of them, you have 20 guns,you're going to have 20
insurance policies.
(01:01:12):
Can this be real?
I don't think that can be legal,can it?
If you, if you're, into, gun lawand, amendment, second amendment
rights and all that, send me acomment.
Let me know about that.
Is it possible?
hopefully, lawsuits will stopthis or the Supreme Court if it
goes, that far.
But if that comes through andthey're able to sustain this in
(01:01:35):
Washington, look out California,look out, Illinois, New York.
Washington, D.
C.
and all these other leftiststates, Michigan, Minnesota, be
aware, be tracking, secondamendment rights and, there's a
whole lot of different, Emailsyou could get where you'll get
information about various,situations NRA of course, puts
(01:01:59):
it out, but there's other peoplethat are really active in the
2nd amendment area.
That are putting on information,so, you know, what's going on.
Well, there's so much morehappening and I don't have to be
for another time.
Hopefully you're still with me.
I appreciate your liking andsharing and subscribing and, you
know, the drill hit thatnotification bell for future
(01:02:21):
posts and, together, we can makea difference.
And, you know, I hear frompeople, that I meet as I move
around and say, I wish I'd haveknown you 2 or 3 years ago,
because I had this problem.
I didn't know a PI could havehelped me.
And so if you're one of those,maybe you've got a problem in
your business or family, or it'sa situation and you need help.
(01:02:44):
And the police can't, it's not apolice problem where they can
deal with it.
And I have so many people cometo me over the years at our
offices in Los Angeles that wewere all at the police
department and they said, well,this is not a police matter yet.
You need to go hire West Coastdetectives and have them get the
facts and then, you know, bringthose to, they'll bring those to
us.
So.

to help you.
And please leave your comments,on these questions about what's
going on now in the government.
(01:03:25):
With the department heads, doyou support Tulsi Gafford as a,
as head of nationalintelligence?
Yeah, she's a former Democrat,and is she qualified for this
job?
And what do you think about theother appointments that are
happening?
and, President Trump first 10days, not 100 days, first 10
days.
Let me know.
(01:03:45):
give me your ideas.
What would you like to seehappen?
how would you like to see thingsgo?
what would you like to hearabout?
What would you like to have medig into, and come up with some
facts that give you someunderstanding, and help for
making good decisions?
Well, my friends, we have agreat year ahead of us.

(01:04:06):
We are on the building back.
We're going to see prices comedown.
We're going to see, the incomego up.

Hello, and thank you for joiningme today on the Private
Investigator Experience podcast.
I'm your host, Phil Little, andwhat a week have we had, or 10
days.
Are you still running in circlesor blowing in the wind of all
the things that's happening sofast?
Are you able to adjust to themall?
You know, on the show, we talkabout the life and times and
(00:27):
cases of a private investigator.
talk about our internationalclients, our domestic clients
and the kind of cases they cometo us with.
And I'm getting a lot ofrequests now from out around the
world about what can they expectfrom the United States.
And as an investigator, we worka lot for clients to give them
information, doing deep diveinvestigations, doing due
(00:47):
diligence.
And I do all this from mymilitary law enforcement
intelligence service, a globalsecurity background.
And I just add a touch of mybiblical worldview.
And I want us to, look today atsome of the issues that are
going on in our country andaround the world.
What has happened in the lastnine days and why it happened,
(01:08):
what led to it, and what we canlearn from it, and how we can
make sure that it goes on formore than just four years.
I'm reminded of my friend And acoworker at the French National
Police that ran my operationsout of our intelligence
gathering station there.
(01:30):
And he was head of Thecounterterrorism unit.
I remember when I was going toFrench National Police in those
days, he was handling the Carloscase, Carlos the Jackal, and he
was a famous terrorist at thattime.
It was a kind of a myth.
He was a phantom.
And of course, a lot of thingsgot attributed to him that he
didn't do, but there was a fouror five foot case, high foot
(01:54):
case file at my friend's desk.
And I would look at those filesand.
Imagine that I was on the trailof Carlos the Jackal, and I
remember him telling me, hesaid, the best thing in France
was that when the Socialists gotin power, they lasted for four
years, and then they got kickedout because the public had
(02:16):
learned how bad they were, andthey didn't get back in for
another 40 or 50 years untilthat generation was gone, and a
new generation came up thatreally didn't understand what
had happened then, and you wouldsee that cycle again.
Well, I think some of thathappened in the United States.
In November, the American peoplefinally had enough of the
(02:36):
leftist, leftist, Marxists,socialist, attitudes that was
sweeping and policies that wassweeping the radical left, the
Democratic Party lost its way.
that old Democratic Partydoesn't exist.
It's radical.
And people just are fed up withit.
So many of my Democrat friendssaid they voted for Trump and
(02:59):
many of them has left the party,most of them becoming
independents, a few becomingRepublicans.
So there was a shift and theybrought it on themselves.
The Democratic party brought iton themselves.
I'm reminded that it's a lotlike that in many things in
life.
I remember in terrorism, it wasthe same way I started my career
(03:20):
in.
Israel, southern Lebanon in theseventies.
And that's where I learned aboutterrorism and what's the
Israelis work and how theyhandled it and dealt with it.
and then my first book, hostileintent came from that journey.
I started there to find outwhere does terrorism really come
from?
What's its purpose is itsorigins.
And then that led me.
(03:41):
Around the world in theseventies and eighties and
nineties when, in the eightiesparticularly was just a terror
haven across Europe with attacksand, all across in England,
Germany, France, Italy.
And, the terrorists, what theydid and how they brought their
minds down and really stoppedthe spread was they overdid it.
(04:03):
And they overdid it by having 12attacks one day in Paris, 12
bombs were off.
And that caused the Frenchpeople just to rise up.
And say enough's enough,government do something, you're
not going to get away withletting these guys live here.
And the deal was in France atthat time, there was this kind
of unspoken deal that they hadwith the government.
(04:25):
We won't attack on the Frenchsoil, but we'll live here.
And they had that going and alot of them were living there
and being protected and nobodywas coming after them.
And after this event.
Then the public demanded thatthe government do something.
So we saw that in, in, thestate.
And there's a lot of factors,much more than back in that 70s
(04:48):
and 80s time.
In Europe, it was a one issue.
It was about terrorism.
It's about, they wanted tochange the way of life.
And, the terrorists of that daywere young.
people, most of them.
they came from very affluentfamilies.
They were well educated and theygot disgruntled with, their ease
of life, I guess.
they, wanted to change it intothat utopian socialism that,
(05:11):
everybody would be equal andeverybody would come along and
get along just fine.
Well, that didn't work out toowell.
And so, but in the States, itwent way beyond that.
We don't only have SocialistMarxist, tendencies coming.
We had DEI, diversity,inclusion, equity, And, then we
(05:31):
had gender confusion.
Then we had CRT, corrupting thelives and minds of our
kindergartners up through, intocollege.
And we've seen the results of, alot of that happens.
And, with the anti Semitism,which I'll get into later.
So, there's, the, the left herein the United States brought
this on themselves.
(05:51):
Thank God, enough Americanpeople woke up.
To give not only the ElectoralCollege, to, President Trump,
but the popular vote, which,made it where it was impossible
for the left to rig, like theydid in 2020.
They stole some congressionalseats, there wasn't any
question, down in California, itwas one place.
(06:13):
They kept counting for 30 daysalmost, and kept coming up with
more Democratic ballots.
Wow, that was interesting.
so, but the general electionitself was too big.
And that stopped them fromtrying to do what they did in
2020.
And, unfortunately, most of theDemocrats that are on the
(06:34):
leftist side still haven't gotthe message.
Some have.
but, now, senators andcongressmen are starting back
that it's, Trump hating,bashing, Actually, they've been
on for the last few years, sowe'll have to see how this plays
out.
My challenge and call to theAmerican people is become your
(06:55):
own investigators, rise up inyour community.
Get involved and find out whatis going on.
So you can remove people fromoffice that are corrupted your
children's lives that are tryingto push this diversity and
inclusion and take away.
people's rights and not having amerit based system where the
best person gets a job, man,woman, no matter what race,
(07:17):
color, creed, the best persongets a job and that's what the
American life has been built onand what it has to get back to.
so this voting shift came about,because of these, events and The
actions and policies, the left,the difference really in this,
(07:39):
election, with what happenedbetween the election and
inauguration that November thefifth to January the 20th, we
saw a complete change and adifference than we'd never seen
before.
the world started coming tovisit, President elect Trump, he
was acting in many cases andtook action on things around the
(08:00):
world and caused things tohappen, even though he wasn't
president yet.
And Biden was kind of, nowhereto be found at times.
And, Harris was, definitely not,exposing herself.
the world, it was obvious thatthe world was waiting for a
change in America.
When, President Trump went tothe, reopening of, Notre Dame in
(08:23):
Paris, he was greeted like a,hero and, there were over 80
heads of government there.
They all came to talk to him.
during the ceremony, Mrs.
Biden, who went to represent,Joe, and, the government, she
was seen chatting, very friendlywith, president Trump.
They were laughing and talkingback and forth.
(08:45):
So, the Trump charm had spreadacross, many different, arenas.
And, we saw as it continuedduring, the lead up up to the
inauguration day, that Trump wasgiven his voice in knowing the
Middle East, to Russia, to nato.
to the UN and he was, lettingeveryone know that change was
(09:06):
coming.
America was coming back and thathe was going to, bring about a
strong America.
That was good for everybody.
It's not good for Americans.
It's going to be good for theworld now.
What was the first actions thathe took?
And I'm, the reports I'm givingto my clients when they request
(09:27):
this from around the world, giveus your take on what's going to
happen and what's the climategoing to be like for us doing
business there and longevity is,is it going to be tariffs on a
particular part of the world?
What do you think, you know,what's assessment, what's the
feel on the ground and, whatgood American people feel like,
(09:48):
well, These first actions thatPresident Trump took was the
executive orders.
And I, I was fascinated by, Iwas watching him, on the
inauguration night, even beforehe went to the White House, but
he was there signing.
The executive orders and thepress was just bombarding him
(10:10):
with questions.
He would stop, he would sign hisfirst name, stop, he'd look at
this reporter and he would say,Oh, and he would back and forth,
you know, and then go ahead andsign his name and he kept this
up doing.
I don't sign enough.
15, 20 or whatever it was,there's that one stretch and
people were laughing and saying,after this first couple of days,
(10:31):
Trump has spent more time withthe press and Biden had done in
four years.
And it was obvious that, andthere was a huge amount of press
there.
I mean, there was 40 or 50 atleast, that's huddled, huddled
around and they were all gettingtheir questions in and he was
asking them all.
Answering them all, even thoughthey were some from reporters
that were trying to trip him up.
(10:52):
So, that was his 1st step thathe did.
Promises made, promises kept.
He's going to bring the countryback.
He's going to bring oilproduction back to where we're
not dependent on othercountries.
He's going to bring prices downby reducing this oil dependence
(11:15):
on the world.
And he's going to restore, theAmerican common sense that two
genders, you know, the Bible ispretty clear on that from my
biblical worldview, I find it,I've always known there was two
genders.
That's all God made.
God said he made man and woman.
So.
He brought that back.
He's outlawed DEI and CRT ingovernment, across government.
(11:39):
No other flags can fly at ourembassies out around the world.
And he's taken more action inthe first nine days.
It's been wild to watch.
And CNN was reporting a coupleof days ago.
They didn't really, um, wouldenjoy reporting this He has
been, he's the most likedpresident.
(12:02):
His ratings are higher, pollsare higher than any other
president at this time in thesecond term.
And it's because he's takenaction.
The American people asked forresults.
He promised results.
And now it's critical that the,Senate and the Congress, follow
along and they stay in step withhim, not being, broken apart
(12:26):
like they've, been in the paston issues that bottom line is
none of us gets everything wewant in a situation in life.
as an example with, uh, acongressman or senator.
Maybe that's going to be a billthat's got 70, 80 percent of
this good stuff, but that's thethings they would like to be in
it.
Well, they need to go along witha majority that's going to do
(12:51):
good for the country.
And later on, work on gettingthose things that they're
focused on, not disrupting thewhole process.
And destroying the, theRepublican focus of doing what
the people have said, I thinkall these, Congressmen should
remember there's anotherelection coming up in two years
and the people will be watchingboth the Senate and the House
(13:15):
and how they operate.
So, what was the initial benefitfrom, these actions that, that
he's taken?
Well, The world had seen thatthere is that new sheriff in
town that's not going to justsay don't, as the former
president said so many times,nobody listened to him, Iran
(13:37):
didn't listen to him, Russiadidn't listen to him, nobody
listened to him.
But when this new man now,President Trump says don't, it
means something.
we've got, we're back in, we'rebeing respected in the world.
Because America, the world wantsa strong, America, they realize
(13:58):
that their freedom and theirfuture is based on America being
strong.
I remember when I was buildingmy intelligence gathering group
out around the world, going fromcountry to country, setting up
stations, recruiting people.
I would be talking to leadersmany times and heads of
government agencies, and theywould tell me so many times,
(14:20):
Phil, if we could sit down andtalk to your government leaders,
like we talked to you, then wecould solve the problems of the
world.
We could get along.
And too many times our statedepartments get staffed by this
level that's under theappointment people that always
stay there.
they're embedded and theydevelop these ideas.
(14:44):
And many times they sway thepolitical appointees to their
way of thinking and, and we havethese actions many times it's
pro military, pro militaryaction when we should be using
that as a last resort, doingeverything preventive that we
(15:04):
could, everything, with,discussions that, we could
before we jumped the military.
And that's what president Trumpis doing with his appointees,
getting people that areextremely capable.
Just think of the people thathe's appointed and think of the
strong women that he's gotaround him.
(15:25):
Pam Bondi, the, new attorneygeneral, no pushover, he's,
going to click a button, takeyour name, and he's not going to
be pooched around by anybody.
And the new Homeland Securitydirector, Krist Noem, that woman
is something else, a rancher, Amother, grandmother, and the
governor, and a formercongressman, and it's amazing
just to watch her.
(15:45):
You would never think of meetingher if you didn't know who she
was or what she did.
But when she addressed the staffthere at, Homeland Security when
she went in after she'd been,sworn in, she made it very
clear.
I mean, she came acrosspolished, smooth, nice, we're
going to get along, We're goingto make a difference.
We're going to do what PresidentTrump wants done what he was
(16:05):
elected to do, and that's allthese issues of closing the
border, cleaning up, getting thecriminals off the streets, the
illegals back to the countrywhere they came from, and making
America safe again.
And then Tulsi Gafford, I, youknow, there's so much flack
going in her, and I don't knowwhy, this woman's amazing.
(16:26):
And, she's what Trump needsthere in the balance of DEI, the
Director of NationalIntelligence, She's a military
veteran, a lieutenant colonel.
She's got all that experienceand for her war is a last resort
and this will give him abalanced view of intelligence
and say, how do we assess thisand I'm just, I can't understand
(16:50):
how people don't.
That have seen what's happenedin the last four years, what
they've lived through many ofthem, and then they fight, Trump
every step of the way when he'sgoing to bring change that's
going to benefit everybody.
then, he's made some other gooddecisions, which were to, that
trips he made the first trip, hewas, Monday was the
(17:12):
inauguration, Friday, he left ona trip to two disaster areas.
The first one he went to wasNorth Carolina.
And that was amazing.
Not only did he show up thereand Melania's wife went with
him, First Lady.
They talked and met with thepeople, real people.
I mean, people that, weren't theup and outers.
(17:33):
At this point, they're the downand outers because they've lost
everything.
And they're just normalAmericans.
And he gave them the mic.
He said, tell me your story.
Tell the nature of your story.
They told about how FEMA had letthem down, how they'd gotten no
help.
but some organizations likeSamaritan's Purse and others,
and other people, Elon Musk hadgiven hundreds Of star links
(17:55):
there for communication and onand on other people's lows.
And I think some other builderswere given materials and
builders were building smallhomes for people.
So, he let it be known you'renot forgotten.
And he told the core ofengineers get in here in force
and get these roads back, buildthem back, get the,
(18:16):
infrastructure back work untilso people can move around.
They can have some freedom.
And get back to having some hopethat they will have a home
again, and they're not theforgotten Americans anymore, as
they were under formeradministration.
and I'm sure most people in theStates know or heard, if you're
(18:38):
been awake at all that FEMA hadtold their employees, if you see
a Trump Sign on the homes, bypass it and once they try to
deny that now, Trump is lookingat, eliminating, FEMA and making
a state resource where moneywill be funneled to the states
(18:59):
that handle these, Devastationsthat happened because they're
better equipped if they got themoney and the funds and the
federal government will helpthem with things they don't
have, but it will be them doingit under their governor or
elected officials, not from afederal, group, which, like the
President said, it's slower.
there's a lot more red tape andit slows everything down to get,
(19:22):
to the people what they need.
Then he was on the Los Angeles.
And in this trip, he was atypical, well, he got off the,
airplane and tarmac andGovernor, Newsom was there and,
give him a hug and a kiss on thecheek.
And he was gracious.
And even in the set down where,the mayor was there and, other,
(19:46):
local officials, but he didn'tpull any punches.
He was called him right out.
To their failures and how theyhad messed up to, in not
preparing and not being, notjust being planned for.
And he did say, we're gonnahelp, we're gonna help
California.
But there's gonna be somerestrictions on what has to be
(20:07):
done to help prevent future,events because the Santa Ana's
will be back next year inSouthern California.
And the same thing can happenagain, so he set the stages and
he's letting it be known to notonly domestically, but around
the world.
I think, it was very pointed andthe world got the message.
(20:28):
They sent a plane load ofColumbians, criminals back to
Columbia.
Well, they refused to let themunload there.
And when President Trump heardthat, he gave the order to the
State Department and othersappropriate to put a 25 percent
tariff and to cancel all visasand everybody coming to the
(20:52):
United States.
And if in seven days, it wasstill not settled to reduce, to
increase the tariff to 50percent within six hours.
The president of Colombia, whois a Marxist, how they got him
elected, who knows, but, he hada change of heart and they said
(21:14):
they will gladly accept the,Colombians coming back.
And the world now knows that ifthey sent us their worst, if
they don't want to take themback, it's going to cost them
and cost them a lot.
So, I'm very optimistic now.
I'm an optimist, but let me tellyou, during the last, four
(21:37):
years, I had become a pessimist.
I really thought that, we didn'thave many options for our future
and we were headed downhillreally fast.
I really felt Leading up toNovember, one or two things were
going to happen.
There's two stories in theBible, the Old Testament, many
of you, I'm sure know them.
(21:59):
One was about the city ofNineveh and he was sending
Jonah, which was a prophet, tothe city to call them to repent.
They were evil, real evil, wayworse than what we've got going
on here and everything onsteroids and Jonah didn't want
to go.
(22:19):
But he got the message and hewent, and Jonah, went and
preached and told the peoplethat God was bringing judgment
if he didn't repent.
Well, the king of Nineveh andthe leaders accepted it.
And called for the city andsurrounding areas to repent,
they put on sackcloth and ash,which in those days meant that
(22:41):
they were in mourning andrepented they wiped out the
idols and all of the evil thingsthat were going on.
and God, gave them another 70years when they fell out of,
again, went back to their oldways.
Nineveh was one, and I said,we're either going to be like
Nineveh, which, heard themessage that God had repented,
or we're going to be like Sodomand Gomorrah, which it was evil,
(23:06):
real evil.
And in the Bible, it says hecame down himself.
God came down himself in theform of man.
And came to Abraham and talkedto him and went into the city of
Sodom and Gomorrah to see if itwas as bad as he was hearing in
heaven.
That's something that seemspretty bad, but God himself will
come down.
(23:28):
Excuse me, I'm still dealingwith a little bit of the
aftermath of a strep throat.
And, they didn't repent and,uhGod destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah.
do we, we were at this crossroad thankfully, millions and
millions of Americans rose up,prayed and asked God, have mercy
(23:49):
on our nation.
And he did.
And he's given us a time, Ibelieve now the rebuild, change,
preach out all this evil and,worshiping idols and, other evil
things.
So, We have before us a greatopportunity, but it's we, the
(24:09):
people have to be involved.
We can't just expect a newadministration to do officials
and.
Department government heads,they could be the right people
and do all wonderful things, butit's going to take all
supporting this to make surethat we get this locked in.
By law, so that somebody can'tcome along later and change it.
And also we want to be.
(24:32):
So effective.
Doing what was promised for theAmerican people that four years
from now, they will keep, thesame group in power with a, new
president and someone who ispart of this, solution, not a
problem.
And so, we are looking at, Somany obstacles, but they're all
fixable.
They're all doable.
(24:53):
If together, we will come outand get involved.
Well, what would the differencebe in the Middle East?
This is an area I'm veryfamiliar with.
I've been in and out of theresince the 70s.
I was on the ground in June the6th, 1982, when the Israelis
went through the Good Fence outof Mattua into, take Mofok
(25:16):
Castle, which was shelling downon Israel, every night, missiles
into Northern Israel.
And, it was, My first trip intosouthern Lebanon, and I'd
mentioned that's where my firstbook Hostile Intent came from,
but we were in a convoy goingacross the ridge above the
Ritani River.
We'd come in from the good fenceto out of Metula and headed
(25:38):
north towards Beirut, then rightout across the ridge above the
Ritani River, and BeaufortCastle was on the other side, a
few miles away.
You could see it.
It was a big, imposing castle,been there for centuries, And as
we were about halfway across, wehad five or six jeeps in the
convoy and they kept switchingback and forth so that people
(25:59):
wouldn't know, which jeep majorHaddad the leader of Free
Lebanon, Haddad was in.
And as we were driving along, wewere just enjoying the sights
and scenry and the driver said,look out, incoming missile.
And we all thought, Oh my God,we're in a war zone.
We heard about this.
We didn't think it was reallygoing to happen.
And he laughed and said, oh,don't worry.
(26:20):
They don't have guided missiles,and they don't have good aim.
Sure enough, they didn't, theymissed it.
But, that was the 1st missilethat shot at me.
and with all my time in the, inthe military and other things
that I've done.
So.
I've watched this, Middle Eastspiral out of control, then it
was the PLO, which was trying toset up a homeland.
(26:41):
And that's what led me toreally, try to find a source of
terrorism.
Where did it come from?
Where did it start?
And what can we do about it?
So I, learned from that firstvisit that the dangers, and I
was back there many times afterthat, setting up, early warning
devices on, we'd put a radiostation in southern Lebanon and
had a television station there,to help, Major Haddad and his
(27:04):
people.
And, there was, a lot of evilgoing on, attempting to stop
everything we were doing, and,to, push the Israelis, out of
southern Lebanon, which theywere the only ones that were
supporting and protecting the,Christians in southern Lebanon.
So, now, the difference is,instead of having someone in the
(27:25):
White House that says don't, andthey know that he's not going to
do anything about it, we have apresident that's going to say
don't.
And they're going to say, whoa,we're going to stop.
So immediately, I Iran.
It's thinking twice about whatthey do.
Even Hamas, to some extent, youknow, Hamas is a group of thugs.
(27:47):
And, they've got this ideologue,viewpoint that they're supposed
to kill every Jew on earth andeliminate the Jew from the
world.
And so these aren't people thatyou could even talk to or reason
with and it's been shown thateven anything with Hamas is one
of the worst.
they don't keep their word.
And I've said this before,they're not going to release all
(28:09):
the hostages, because if theydo, they realize they're going
to be eliminated real fast.
And the only thing that's heldthe Israelis back, completely,
cleaning up that mess there, isthe hostages.
Israel's concerned about them.
And Israel's also concernedabout the Palestinian people.
They.
have been careful andindependent studies from
(28:31):
military people and others thathad nothing to do with Israel
say that Israel has done more inprotective civilians than any
other armies ever done It's soit's been very obvious and they
have risked their lives andcaused the lives of Israeli
soldiers by being so cautiousand warning.
(28:52):
what they're going to do beforethey do it.
And if, if you see thedevastation and destruction in,
In Gaza.
It's so interesting.
Today, I was just watching, somefootage from Gaza.
This was an area where thesepeople were well dressed.
They were out far looking andhaving fun.
(29:14):
they were in any American city.
cars zipping around everywhere.
plenty of gas, plenty of food.
These people sure weren't,struggling and, this was down in
a southern tip of Gaza there.
And, then the people want tohead back north to where, it's
still, you know, terrorist,strongholds there, but the
cities has just been destroyed,so, and that whole area.
(29:37):
So, it's going to take, I don'tknow, What, and how this can be
solved?
Because Hamas only wants thedestruction of Israel.
They won't negotiate on anythingelse.
It's not going to be a twostate.
I've said this before.
There's not going to be a twostate solution.
It'll never happen.
(29:57):
Because we could go all the wayback to, the Bible times,
Abraham's son, Ishmael andIsaac.
And I talked about, that and Godsaid that he would, have a
nation developed out of Ishmael,even though he was not the
chosen heir of Isaac or ofAbraham, Isaac was.
(30:18):
And we have, these issues thatpoliticians just don't seem to
understand when, and I'm hopefulthat President Trump and those
around him, and there's peoplearound him that know the Bible,
that know history, that knowwhat land was given to Israel as
an everlasting possession andknow that there wasn't any
(30:41):
Palestinian, people, in thehistory, this name came up, and,
actually it came about in, rightafter the first century when the
Roman Nero had Got so fed upwith the Jews that he took away
their name and called themPalestinian.
But really, the Palestinian namewas given to Jews first.
(31:02):
And Gaza was originally the homeof the Philistines, not some
Arab group or Palestinian group.
And that's all in history.
It's all recorded.
It's all there if anybody wantsto look at it.
So we need to get informed.
(31:23):
We, the people, you, me, we needto become good investigators,
find out what the truth reallyis.
And then, see who's following,what is right, following our
constitution, following ourJudeo Christian, values of,
protection of life.
(31:43):
And, and stopping all this,pornographic material even done
in kindergarten books and genderconfusion on our children, which
it was a big factor in theelection, which, parents had
said enough, no more of this.
And, I don't understand why anypoliticians, could follow
(32:04):
through on this.
And a lot of these that havechildren of their own that would
support it and try to protectit.
So.
I'm hopeful now that we've seenthat there's been a rising up in
America, that we will continueto rise up and we will come
together, the volumes ofindividuals, will become an
army, to support through,different political things that
(32:28):
we can do, not violence, butthrough voting, I think.
And letting our voice be heardand in a necessary recalling
people that's been done manyschool boards across the country
have been totally cleaned outand righteous men and women have
been put in taken over wherethey're going to protect the
(32:48):
mind of their children.
So.
and we, we have that now, backin California again, there's a
petition started to recallNewsome again, and they're
talking about what, I don't knowwhere it started yet on the
mayor, Karen Bass, because theyfailed in their duties.
I don't care if they're aDemocrat, Republican,
Independent, or Libertarian, orwho they are, they failed and
(33:08):
somebody needs to be heldaccountable.
Then, to me, that Middle East isthe, it's the most dangerous
situation that President Trumphas to deal with.
And unless we understand whatthe, what's causing it, anything
(33:29):
we try to do will be a band aid.
And as before I've mentioned,the danger is that we'll get
drawn into it then.
and that is something we reallydon't want.
We don't want more.
blood and treasure of our, youngmen and women, paying the price
for some politician's war.
So, let's stay vigil and, maybe,maybe you aren't a Christian.
(33:52):
Maybe, maybe you believe in God,but you're just not really into
that thing.
pray.
You know, just ask God.
Simple.
You don't have to have aknowledge of some, prayer that
has all the D's in the housethat say God.
Amen.
Amen.
Come and bless Israel, help,help President Trump and the
other leaders in Israel solvethis problem that won't lead to
(34:14):
further bloodshed and a biggerproblem.
You know what happens manytimes?
It's happened in business, and Idid this early on in my
business.
You go out to solve a problem,and you get in a hurry.
I mean, you don't understand thewhole issue, so you create two
bigger problems by the one yousolved.
So, that's a danger that we haveis.
(34:35):
Middle East trying to solve thisproblem.
We're going to create a muchbigger problem.
I saw a message that Trump hadgiven to the leaders of the
Middle East.
He was very emphatic.
I mean, he was, well, nopunches.
He told them all of what wouldhappen if, There wasn't a peace
(34:58):
coming to the Middle East and itwould be in their individual,
each country, for them to becomepart of the solution and help
develop, even expand the AbrahamAccords and work to neutralize
terrorists.
Saudi Arabia did that in theirown country.
I was part of that.
I was there on the ground.
I had an office in Saudi Arabiafor years and in Riyadh.
(35:19):
And, Saudi Arabia, was cleaningup the terrorists.
They cracked down hard when theyrealized they were victims and
they were targets of Al Qaeda,not just, the U S or Israel or
some other place.
they took it seriously and theyeliminated them.
Well, we know they can do thatbecause they did.
(35:40):
And other countries could to,other countries have been soft
on supporting, particularlyHamas and the billions of
dollars that have gone in toHamas with the top leaders.
And I saw this laid out, Forbesactually did this.
So it wasn't some hit piece bysomebody or some thing, but
(36:01):
somebody's imagination thatshowed that those five top
leaders had, a 4-5 billion.
In, personal holdings,individually, but they had built
and they had all these hugebusinesses and homes and places
and, all kinds of trappings andwhile the people in Gaza were
(36:21):
suffering and, being, abused byHamas on the ground, if they
didn't pull the line and obeyeverything they were told, and
then Hamas was taking This aidthat was going in, stealing it
and then selling it to the,Gazing people at inflated
prices, even though they didn'tpay for it, they just stole it.
(36:43):
So, this is, something that, weneed to be paying attention to
when we need to be, thinkingabout, what can we do to be part
of this solution?
That's been my whole challenge.
When I first started talkingabout terrorism back in the
early eighties, I was part ofthe white house outreach group
(37:04):
when Reagan, was president andspeaking on terrorism.
And I had hundreds and hundredsof meetings in those years early
eighties, and before theOlympics in Los Angeles, talking
about the dangers of terrorismand how to prevent it.
This was, something that weneed, to be paying attention to
(37:24):
again today, preventing thingsin many places, undercover
operations by, the police agencyto ferret out, the criminal
ailment have been taken away,so, we need to, pay attention to
that.
ensure that our cities, localgovernments, state and federal
governments have the tools theyneed to have preventive
(37:46):
resources in place to protectthe citizens.
Well, what about this issue withRussia and Ukraine?
It's in a place where bothparties want to settle.
Even the last couple of days,Russia has, Putin has put out.
Information from, some pressconferences that he is
(38:08):
definitely open to and eager totalk to.
Excuse me, President Trump and,Zelenskyy also, wants to settle.
So this can be settled.
And I believe we're going to seethat done quickly.
Obviously there are issues withboth sides.
Putin, was evil.
He's wrong.
He's a thug.
He's a murderer.
He's a, KGB guy still is, shouldhave never gone into, Ukraine,
(38:34):
and, pretty much what he wassaying, he was concerned about
NATO, getting into Ukraine andUkraine becoming part of NATO.
Well, he has NATO in Poland andaround him and other places, but
the big reason here was thatpart of, Ukraine that sits right
on the border, that there was aRussian enclave there, a lot of
(38:54):
Russian speaking people that heannexed back in 14, I think it
was, wasn't it?
Yeah.
So, he thought that, because hewould see bad information, I'm
told that, he has people aroundhim and he likes to hear how
good things are.
And he was being told apparentlythat this is going to be a few
(39:15):
day event, their weak willoverrun him and we'll be, in
Kiev, in three or four days incontrol.
Well, as we know, that didn'thappen.
They messed up really bad.
Not only was their equipmentmalfunctioning and breaking
down, I mean, setting ducks forthe Ukrainians, the Ukrainians
(39:35):
were much more prepared, with awhole lot better weapons than
what thought they had.
So, now, he's learned thatlesson.
and sitting down in any thingthat we do where there's two
sides to something, whether it'sin a business, it could be in a
marriage or a relationship or afamily, whatever it is, the
(39:57):
government, we have to sit downand say, okay, what's your
issues?
What's your issues?
well, we can live with this.
We can live with that.
And here's a way that we can getthat settled.
it brings, righteousness to it.
I mean, you can't, and don'twant to reward a dictator, an
evil person for what they did,but there's gotta be a way to
(40:17):
stop this carnage that's goingon, and I believe we're going to
see, we'll see that happen.
It's going to be much easierthan what's going on in the
Middle East.
Then we have, NATO.
What is the situation with NATO?
NATO obviously has never reallyhad to fight a, a war and, the
(40:39):
U.
S.
has put more money than NATO to,support NATO, to support Europe.
And I, I believe, and, and Trumphas been very vocal on this,
that, that needs to change.
And that needs calling Countriesto give 5 percent of their gross
national product.
Well, I think we, I was, I waslistening to an expert last
(41:04):
night that was talking aboutthis and he said that I think
we're like a 2.
1 or 2 traditionally for our,our defense spending, but he
said for us to get the 5.
With the level that we've hadadvancing would take us like 20
years, and unless obviouslysomething was, different, and
(41:26):
you had to put a lot more intoit, like, say, during the Second
World War or something, it wouldgo faster, of course.
So, when you look at theEuropean countries, most of
them, they'll think about, well,how fast would it take them to
get to 5%?
It would take a long time.
So, there's got to be, butthere's got to be a way that
they start doing more for theirown.
support and particularly somethat weren't really doing
(41:49):
anything, in those early yearsbefore Trump's term.
And I, I haven't heard a report,this recently of what it's at
right now, if there's any thataren't paying anything, but,
he's going to have a strong handwith that and we're going to see
some changes in this.
Well, his, cabinet members, thefirst, cabinet member that was
(42:09):
put in his, office was thesecretary of state.
And I've told my friends outaround the world that are
talking to me, what can weexpect from the United States is
judge what you see by the peoplethat he's putting in.
It's a state department, thedefense department, Attorney
General.
Homeland Security, Director ofNational Intelligence, and all
(42:30):
these other, Treasury Secretary,on and on, and we need to keep
going, and Ambassadors even,gives you an indication that
things aren't going to be doneas usual.
And so what did, I knew theSecretary of State said, and it
was interesting, I wasn't asupporter of Trump.
When he first, started running.
I thought we need some youngblood.
We need to now get young peoplein and we need to have a change.
(42:54):
And I was really leaning towardsRubio back in that time.
And then when president Trumpgot the, Nomination, of course,
I supported it.
I found out pretty quick why hewas the best person for the job
because he was an outsider.
and even though he was upagainst odds, he didn't have any
idea that he was going to be upagainst.
He still did amazing.
(43:15):
Thanks for the country.
So, but now, we have, The newsecretary that he was.
in the Senate, I don't really,remember him, doing a lot of
things.
I don't, he wasn't a standout,of course, somebody that was out
(43:35):
there getting attention.
Somebody that was, banging thetable to get notoriety.
But what he's done, as I'velistened to him, I listened to
him at the, first, statement hehad in a gathering he had with
employees at the, StateDepartment, and what he talked
about doing, and it's obviouslyhe's on the same page with
(43:55):
Trump.
the first thing he did was takedown all the flags across the
world, and it wasn't an Americanflag, only flies.
He eliminated all DEI.
He, you know, it's cleaninghouse.
it's the State Department andgetting rid of, many of the
holdover, progressives thatwere, a lot of the problems.
(44:19):
And so it's a breath of freshair We cut off all foreign aid
going out for 90 days to reviewwhere it's going, what it's
being spent, and is it meetingthe mission of helping America
and helping people too.
And this is an example of what'sbeen going on.
(44:40):
With the new Doge, Elon Musk,and I'll get into that in a
minute with.
the Vick and all that, the flackand the misinformation again,
it's been going on, but, underElan direction, at, O& B, they
found this week, and it was,well, it was either last Friday
(45:01):
or Monday, they discovered, eventhough Trump had stopped
everything going out, he'd cutoff funding to the WHO, the
World Health Organization, whichwas, is a disaster.
and it cut off all money goingto Gaza, boondoggle, but they
found out ready to go out was,like 37 million going to, who in
(45:26):
violation of Trump's order and50 million going to the Gaza for
the, Condos.
For condos.
Condos?
Have you looked at Gaza?
Have you looked at the situationgoing on?
(45:47):
Of course they stopped it.
And that was, Just an example ofwhat DOGE is going to do to cut
down on unnecessary expenses anda government which has been out
of control the way they throwaround and put money out into
people's hands and particularlysending it into, Gaza.
(46:12):
And, look what happened withwhen President Trump made it his
first time.
The nation was at, what, lessthan 2 percent and a half of
inflation.
Gas was 170 a gallon across thecountry.
We were energy independent.
We didn't have to import anyoil.
(46:34):
Prices were down.
Interest rates, I had a 2.
25 percent veteran home loan.
And on and on it went.
Iran was broke.
You weren't seeing the terroristactivities like had been going
on the years before because theywere broke.
They didn't have the money to doit.
Instantly when the formeradministration Biden went in,
(46:58):
they released money going toIran and billions and billions
started pointing to Iran.
And that's when the buildupstarted, to, build up Hezbollah
and Hamas even more.
I just don't get it.
and I'd love to have somebodytell me, hey, if you understand
why these people did this, sendme a comment, send me an email,
(47:20):
which I'll give it in a littlebit.
about why did they do this,thinking that, negotiating, be
nice to Iran, giving them money,being soft on them would help
them be nice and like us, whenthat would against everything
(47:42):
that, we know is real.
I don't get it.
So, someone, can you explainthat to me?
I'm just a farm boy fromMissouri.
I grew up on a farm.
I understand cattle and horsesand, and ranching and, and, the
crops in and out and milkingcows and, I understand all that.
Snow in the winter that was upto the fence posts for three or
(48:03):
four months.
Yeah, no more.
Don't want to go back to that.
But, that's reality.
I don't get this.
So, well, let me know if you canfigure that out.
And then over to the Departmentof Defense with Pete Hedsef.
that was amazing how they triedto kill him.
from getting, not literally, butto stop him from becoming a
(48:26):
defense, a head of defense.
But, he made it and he'salready, got, things happening.
and remember, I built abusiness, had up to 1, 500
employees.
And there was a lot I didn'tknow.
I didn't have any collegeeducation.
I didn't have any training.
I was just blessed by havingpeople help me.
And I realized a lot of things Ididn't know.
Yeah, I'm a visionary.
Yeah, I could build things.
(48:47):
Yeah, people would follow me.
But I wasn't an administrator inthose days.
I didn't understand all thestuff of wanting to run a
business.
I didn't want to.
So I got people around me.
That could do that.
Well, he's doing that at,Department of Defense.
What I've heard was that, abillionaire businessman who is
leaving the head of his businessand turning that over and he's
(49:08):
coming in to be, assistant thereat the state, at Defense
Department.
To help Pete in theadministration organization
side.
Also, there will be generalsthere that will be promoted and
up.
There'll be a lot of generalsthat will be gone, which some of
them are already on the way outfor, what their actions have
been, and Pete has also followedup on President Trump's promise
(49:33):
to bring back any of themilitary veterans who were Fired
and kicked out because theywouldn't take the jab.
That, it wasn't a vaccine.
It was experimental.
It said that.
It was never a vaccine.
So, they got that in play.
And now, they're, getting DEIout.
(49:55):
So that training will get backto the way that it was meant to
be.
And getting the strong militaryready for action, and they'll be
so ready for action, they'llnever have to be used because
it's peace through strength.
Well, there's so much we cantalk about here.
As I wind this thing down in thelast few minutes, the U.
(50:16):
N.
is out of control, and now wehave a new ambassador to the un,
She is a go-getter.
Another one of those strongwomen that Trump that's going in
there and kick butt and takenames.
And she, says that, the UN haslost its way.
It's an let's say, haven forterrorist and, antisemitism and
(50:38):
all events that were not meantto be part of the un.
In fact, when the UN was formed,it was to prevent another,
attack on the Jewish people, andit was meant to.
develop relationships betweenthe countries to foster
supportive things that wouldhelp countries grow and be a
positive influence.
Well, it's gotten a long wayfrom that.
(51:00):
And there needs to be a lot ofchanges and she will bring
change.
If you watched her, when shetook on the, presidents of,
Harvard, Columbia and Yale?
Was it or?
I can't remember now which otherone it was, but.
at Congress where she was aCongresswoman from Upper New
(51:21):
York and he tore them apart.
They, they had nothing to say.
Actually, they all wind upresigning.
She got rid of all of thembecause of what she did.
So there's good news there.
We're, developing new,relationships and we're going to
be a force for good in theworld.
Well, what is, what has happenedwith DEI just in America?
(51:44):
After Trump, not elected,companies started, sliding all
the way, out of, the DEI, theystarted deleting it, eliminating
it, and, I've, got someinformation here.
I've been reading that, evenbefore the executive order, and
(52:05):
all this massive, Programs thatBiden group has set up.
Trump calls these DEI programsillegal and immoral, which is
very true.
the companies that started, infact, you know, McDonald's was
one that started early on, butthese, companies now have
abandoned or rolled back orgetting rid of all of their
(52:26):
commitments or program relatingto diversity, equity, and
inclusion.
And just before I get into thesecompanies, I think it was the
Department of Labor that theywere interviewing the former
head of that.
And they're talking aboutgetting rid of DEI.
And when they asked her, well,how many people would this mean
(52:48):
to go?
She said, oh, about a hundred.
A hundred?
They had a hundred people withthe salaries they were making
just playing with DEI at theLabor Department.
Think about that.
All of the departments ofgovernment and state department,
military, treasurer, everywhere,White House, thousands of people
(53:11):
in DEI, unbelievable what theydid to America on our watch.
And we led them to, well,companies like Amazon, they, in
December, they said it waswinding down, DEI, Boeing,
dismantled theirs.
In fact, they starteddismantling in 2023.
(53:32):
Brown and Foreman, the JackDaniels maker, you know, we
don't talk about Jack Daniels,do we?
they announced the nameCaterpillar will no longer
participate in the Ford, nolonger participating.
In all these, issues.
John Deere, Lowe's, McDonald's,Meta, which is Facebook, the
(53:52):
biggie.
you know, we've heard himtalking about that and what he's
done.
Target, the one that, developedand put all these gender, oh,
diversity.
Displays with the, with thegender confusing closing for
young children is 5, 6, 7, 8,they paid a big price for that.
(54:15):
And now they have concluded thatit's, Not working and they're
getting rid of a tractor supply.
That was another big one.
That's, in Texas and around.
There's a big Texas boy.
They tried it and they got sucha backlash from their,
customers, which were ranchersand farmers and just real
people.
Toyota same thing.
Walmart will phase out though.
(54:36):
All these, companies, Costco,Cisco, Apple, Delta.
on and on.
in just a matter of weeks, thedifference that Trump has made
to wipe out these kind ofprograms that are so devastating
to our country.
Now, one other thing, in thisline with DEI.
(54:59):
Might have heard, I don't knowwhere, how many did, but Davos
the economic forum, PresidentTrump spoke at that and in that
group with a lot of the big,heads of companies that really
were proponents and started thisand, and, helped encourage DEI,
they were there setting.
(55:19):
And Trump just called it like itwas.
He just said, we're eliminatingall this.
It's been a detriment.
And he just systematically tookit apart.
And I suspect there was a lot ofvery uncomfortable people
sitting there.
Does he, does Trump talk abouthow the American people had said
enough, enough.
So there are, other foreigncountries dropping DEI.
(55:44):
Javier, Millie, the president ofArgentina followed him.
and he said the same thing.
They're eliminating it andthey're bringing Argentina back
to common sense, merit base, andeliminating all this social
justice stuff.
El Salvador president.
When, if you followed anything,it's amazing what happened in El
Salvador.
(56:05):
When, he became president backin.
2019 and, he saw that they werethe murder capital of the world.
the gangs were everywhere takenover and he saw the only way
they were going to be able toget back control is if they took
the gangs out of the street.
So he put together a task forceof police, military, and in a
(56:26):
matter of weeks, they hadrounded up thousands of, these,
gang members.
And now, I think the last Iheard is like 50 or 60, 000 they
have in prison.
El Salvador, right now, wentfrom the Most unsafe country in
the world.
It's the safest country in theworld.
(56:49):
People are flocking back to ElSalvador that even came to the
States because there'sopportunity and security and
safety there.
the hungry, prime minister, heis also, Orban, O R B A N,
Orban, the prime minister, he isalso taking his country out of
these kind of disastrous, thingsthat DEI and other social
justice back to merit.
(57:10):
There's other EU countries thatare waking up and are starting
to follow along with Italy.
Italy had, that woman, theleader of Italy, and she is,
also, transporting out illegals.
She's cracking down on crime,and, she is really making a
difference there In Germany, Isaw an interview by one of the,
(57:33):
rightist parties, smaller party,but it looks like she's headed
to be the next, chancellor inGermany.
Alice, Elon Musk interviewedher, and they went through all
the things that had happened inGermany, and now disasters.
I didn't realize how bad it wasin the economy there.
And all of it only happened fromall of the millions of illegals
(57:55):
they let in.
But, in their, gas and oil andeverything that's happened, they
depended on Russia, so they'rein trouble.
But if she now is, along thelines of a Trump and Argentina
and Italy, a leader that willbring some sane, common sense
back to government.
So it's happening folks outacross the world.
(58:17):
And now we just have to keepthis going.
It's real turning because theprogressives will keep coming
back.
They're not going to say, Oh,okay, they won.
We might as well give up and gohome.
No.
They will build while we're,sailing along.
And if we don't keep ourantennas up while we're saying,
(58:38):
Oh, everything is great.
They'll be planning that nextbig move, which could sweep us
off, our feet.
Another, thing that I watch isour second amendment rights
being military law enforcement.
All the things I've done have alot of guns.
got them over the years at onepoint, back in the, 80s there in
California, I had, probablyeight or 900 people carrying
(59:01):
guns, issued out like a policedepartment and, we didn't have
any problems.
people were well trained.
It was a whole different era,but, now.
There's been, California hasobviously had this attacks on,
on guns and gun ownership.
And they've kept, even thoughthe Supreme Court gives these,
decisions that should give usmore freedom, they keep,
(59:24):
sometimes just ignoring it tomake the people, sue them
because they know they're notgoing to be any penalties if
they disobey the Supreme Court.
And that's bad.
most of us would obey a SupremeCourt order if they could.
That's the Supreme Court.
We have to obey that.
Well, another state, Washington,which I had had a home in many
years ago and spent a lot oftime in, I had a concealed
weapon permit out of Tacoma upthere.
(59:47):
And I went in to see the sheriffand he gave me a permit, which
was blanket without maimingweapons.
In California, you could putthree weapons, I think it was,
on a concealed weapon permitwhen you could get it.
And I had one, both of myresidence in San Diego County.
but, like in Texas now, Idaho,and many others, Montana, on and
(01:00:08):
on, they get a concealed weaponpermit that covers anything I
carry, and it's automatic aslong as you don't have a
criminal record and you canlegally, you know, not a,
terrorist or got a mentalproblem, I heard something,
yesterday, and this is happeningright now, In the state of
Washington, this is going toaffect every gun owner, and it's
(01:00:30):
new law that they've written,they're getting ready to push it
through, and probably it'll gothrough and the governor will
sign it and all indicationsunless something happens and
enough people rise up.
If you're a gun owner inWashington, every gun you have,
it can't be a blanket.
If you own 20 guns, it's not oneyou will have to have.
(01:00:50):
a insurance policy, a 25, 000insurance policy, liability
policy, on every gun you own.
That means if you've got ahandgun or two or three, every
one of those will have to have aseparate policy.
If you've got a shotgun, arifle, AR or something, every
one of them, you have 20 guns,you're going to have 20
insurance policies.
(01:01:12):
Can this be real?
I don't think that can be legal,can it?
If you, if you're, into, gun lawand, amendment, second amendment
rights and all that, send me acomment.
Let me know about that.
Is it possible?
hopefully, lawsuits will stopthis or the Supreme Court if it
goes, that far.
But if that comes through andthey're able to sustain this in
(01:01:35):
Washington, look out California,look out, Illinois, New York.
Washington, D.
C.
and all these other leftiststates, Michigan, Minnesota, be
aware, be tracking, secondamendment rights and, there's a
whole lot of different, Emailsyou could get where you'll get
information about various,situations NRA of course, puts
(01:01:59):
it out, but there's other peoplethat are really active in the
2nd amendment area.
That are putting on information,so, you know, what's going on.
Well, there's so much morehappening and I don't have to be
for another time.
Hopefully you're still with me.

around and say, I wish I'd haveknown you 2 or 3 years ago,
because I had this problem.
I didn't know a PI could havehelped me.
And so if you're one of those,maybe you've got a problem in
your business or family, or it'sa situation and you need help.
(01:02:44):
And the police can't, it's not apolice problem where they can
deal with it.
And I have so many people cometo me over the years at our
offices in Los Angeles that wewere all at the police
department and they said, well,this is not a police matter yet.
You need to go hire West Coastdetectives and have them get the
facts and then, you know, bringthose to, they'll bring those to
us.

job?
