Hello, this is the PrivateInvestigator Experience podcast,
and I'm your host, Phil Little.
Today's going to be a littledifferent than what I've been
doing because I'm going to justbe talking off the top of my
head and dealing with thecurrent issues that are going
on, particularly around the LasVegas bombing incident.
First, I don't know where youhave noted or not, but if you've

(00:30):
been watching the events out ofNew Orleans, The first thing I
noticed there, on the first dayafter the FBI had come in and
taken over the whole show, theresident agent in charge was a
young lady, probably a littleolder than what she looked, kind

(00:52):
of had a ruffled hair, lookedlike she'd rolled out of bed,
was Young looking and there'snothing wrong with that.
But she was very unprepared.
The first thing she said wasthat this is not a terrorist
event.
We're not investigating aterrorist event.
And they showed the picture atthe same time of the ISIS flag
on the vehicle.

(01:14):
It was very clear that, youknow, I don't have any problem
against women in lawenforcement.
And I don't have any problemagainst any particular racist.
I happen to have a daughter inlaw who is black from Jamaica.
And she was an awesomeprosecutor.
And it's just a bit hard to doin this briefing.

(01:37):
She would have been in charge.
So it's nothing to do with thatrace, color, creed, male,
female.
We just need the best personqualified for the job, not a DEI
selection.
This was so apparent.
I, I was watching SenatorKennedy from John Kennedy from

(01:58):
New Orleans.
He was standing there right offto the, from the screen off to
the left of her.
And he was looking like he washaving a good, and, you know, if
you watch John Kennedy at all, Ilove this guy.
He is smart got his informationtogether and when he talks there

(02:19):
from the podium, he made itclear.
That the FBI was not going toget away this time with holding
back data, not sharing, and hewould do whatever it took, shake
whatever trees it took to ensurethis was a transparent, real

(02:40):
investigation.
And then I was watching someother reports and, and also some
sources that I have talked toformer retired FBI people, sub
assistant directors.
And when I saw on the show thathe was asked about that, and he
said, Oh, my God, something likemy heart stank when I saw this

(03:03):
agent in charge, supposedly onthe podium.
And he said, what has happenedto the FBI that I knew?
And if you note very quicklynow, there's a special assistant
director out of Washington, aguy in charge looking like an
FBI agent.

(03:24):
And he is on the scene there nowas the spokesperson and in
charge of the FBI investigation.
It's obvious that New Orleansdidn't have.
The law enforcement capabilityor the resources to do this kind
of a massive investigationthat's going to require
international work.

(03:45):
What happens in this is that.
There's so many things goingaround on the Internet and some
facts, some not someinformation, but.
It's, it's been stated that hepossibly made a trip to Egypt
within the last year, and somethinking about that's where
perhaps he's been in, in what'sindoctrinated from, I mean, some

(04:09):
of his own writings and emailsand texts and things that have
been put out, he talked aboutbeing Associated with Isis for
the 1st of the summer sometimein the spring.
So that could be proved to befactual, but all these things
have to be checked out.
And obviously, the FBI is 1 thathas the contacts and they have

(04:35):
an agent at each 1 of theseembassies.
I've dealt with.
Many of the embassies around theworld, when I've been traveling
and investigating, working onother things, and I'm part of
OSAC, which is an organizationthat was set up in 1989.
I joined in 1990.
And it's a very effective StateDepartment organization for the

(04:56):
private sector.
And we have a contact at eachembassy and sometimes it's the
RSO.
In the early days, it was adedicated person for OSAC and
it's been extremely effective,which I've gotten amazing
results.
Results and help from the RSOsand in countries I've been in.

(05:17):
I, I know and I learned firsthand at the FBI had their agents
there.
Back in the eighties, I was inParis at the French National
Police Headquarters.
One of the heads there.
Counterterrorism andintelligence gathering was
associate, a friend, longtimefriend, and ran our station in

(05:38):
Paris, and I was at the FrenchNational Police, and they said
the FBI attache from the embassywants to meet you, and he came
over and He introduced himselfand he said I've been hearing
the French talk about you andall the things that are going on

(05:59):
and you're doing and, and itappears that they're really
helping you and with informationand things that I just wanted to
meet you and find out who youare.
And how are you getting all thishelp and all these things?
So they're out there and theyneed to be digging into all
these different situations thatwill help put together the

(06:22):
pieces on this man's life thereand what happened in New
Orleans.
Now, we've also seen a shift.
Let's go with Las Vegas.
And I've had a lot ofinvolvement with Las Vegas you.
Over the years, many, many yearsago, when I was a young guy
starting out, I was working outof Vegas and the sheriff at that
time, become a friend.

(06:43):
And I remember many dinners wehad at some of the studios in,
in Las Vegas there, and he wouldbe treated like a royalty before
he came in.
They would have a table for usand, you know, very good
service, VIP service.
I have, so I've been know alittle bit about the department
there.

(07:03):
I'm, I'm so thankful that thatsituation had to happen.
Some ways it happened therebecause the sheriff is in
charge.
The FBI is not in charge of thisinvestigation.
And now we see, Both voices forthe FBI in New Orleans, the

(07:23):
current person there leading thecharge, and the assistant
director in charge in Vegas aretalking very strong about
transparency working with thelocals and it's a joint
operation.
Everything's going to be shared.
Everybody's going to knoweverything.
We're going to tell you as soonas we know it, as long as it

(07:46):
doesn't affect the case.
Investigation now pull that withwhat was the July that are soon
to be new president formerpresident at the time with shot
at an event in Pennsylvania.
We still don't know the facts.
We still don't know why thishappened, what they learned from

(08:08):
this shooters technical and,and.
Internet and computers, theyraided his house, took all this
stuff, industry.
I think, maybe, the message hasgotten through that there's
going to be a new sheriff intown, by the way, the 20th.
And also, as I've talked before,as I traveled the world,

(08:31):
everywhere I would go in theworld, I've been all over it,
working.
And talking to law enforcementin these local countries, no
matter where I was at, everyonewould agree that the FBI was a
gold standard in the world.
And I worked, I've workedextensively with the FBI on
cases where I took cases to themthat we were working on that we

(08:54):
needed their help on.
And there were many cases thatwe saw that the FBI was involved
in that they took the creditfor, and that was great.
The job got done.
We got paid by our client.
But in the last few years,that's all changed.
Everybody is saying, whathappened to that gold standard?
It's more like a banana republicwith what's happening in the

(09:16):
Justice Department of the UnitedStates.
So, but they're, they're greatmen and women in the FBI that
are fed up.
Some are retired because ofthat.
Others are there holding on nowfor the changes to come.
But there's a top level thatwhatever happened, it's amazing
that this could happen in ourcountry, in America, with the

(09:38):
freedoms that we have, and the,I, I, just the integrity.
I don't understand the directorof the FBI, he was appointed by
Trump, appeared to be a littlemiddle of the road, non, non
political guy, and it's likehe's been turned.

(10:02):
You can see him beinginterviewed in the Senator
Congress these hearings.
He is nervous and, and he justseems like he's on the hot seat
and doesn't like it.
I can tell you this sense thatsomething's not right.
I don't know how.

(10:22):
It could become so corrupt sofast.
So there's a level.
It's more than is 2 or 3 peopleat the top of the FBI.
There could be as many as 40 or50 that have been brainwashed
that need to go and bring up upthrough the ranks.
These righteous men and womenwho are supporters of the

(10:44):
constitution and, and treat allfair way.
And, and the law is supposed tobe blind color.
It's colorblind.
It's race blind.
It's gender blind.
It's it's a fact.
Just tell me the facts, man.
Like in the old probably wouldpolice stories, but now we're in
Vegas.

(11:05):
And the sheriff's in charge andhe's laid it all out.
But what it's happened, youknow, I was talking to my post
transformer CIA.
And we were discussing yesterdayabout this whole thing,
something this doesn't add upwith this bombing incident and
the person who pulled it off,you know, they finally confirmed

(11:30):
that it was pretty obvious toyou that it was a subject of
Matthew Lyons.
But, but how could a guy, thiskind of a man, dedicated had
Awards and And it had been inevents around the world that

(11:51):
would make the public duck theirheads that they really knew all
that was going on.
He's got the top of the topsecret security currencies that
read him into any activitythat's going on.
He served almost 20 years andwhat happened to this man?
And he was a, he was aconstitution lover, American

(12:13):
supporter.
He was a Trump supporter.
And it just didn't make sense.
Why did all this happen?
Well, things are coming out now.
And As they've gotten into someof his computers and phones they
have 2 that they've been able tobreak and a couple are still
trying to get into.
And they're finding that he hadsome personal problems.

(12:36):
They also feel that he had PSDYou know, I seemed to be that he
was under a lot of stress andstrain, and it seemed to be too
that a lot of the events that hehad been involved in, he was
conflicted about maybe killingshe had done and things that he
had done, and things he sawthose in charge doing that

(12:59):
wasn't right, and then thingsbeing covered up and not
reported.
So a lot is coming out and stillyet to come out to see why did
he do this?
Well, It seems that he wasmaking a statement.
He wasn't out to hurt anybody,even though there were some
minor injuries.
Thank God there wasn't any moreserious.
He knew what he was doing withthis vehicle explosives.

(13:23):
And, but what happened was hesent an email to a retired
military intelligence officer.
And it arrived on I thinkSaturday.
At in his email and when hereceived it, he, um, checked out

(13:48):
and found that it was reallyfrom confirmed to his
satisfaction.
It was from Matthew and, and hewas asking that by Matthew not
to release it until afterJanuary 1.
Now, I'm going to read this toyou, what he was supposed to, I
think it's that important.

(14:10):
It tells you a little bit of thethought process of Matthew, of
what he was going through andsome of the concerns that he
had.
It's gonna take me a few minutesto do this, but I think it's
important.
And the email start with this,and it was interesting that he

(14:31):
said this in case a, I did notmake it to my decision point or
onto the Mexican border.
Now, what was his decisionpoint?
Was that Las Vegas?
And then why the Mexican border?
Was it, was it possibly that hewas on leave?
from I think Germany where hewas so he wasn't AWOL, he wasn't

(14:53):
on the run.
And was he pointed on maybemaking some kind of a statement
that, and then kind ofdisappeared in Mexico?
You'll see, we'll probably findout more about that.
But then he goes on, I'm sendingthis now.
Please do not release this untilone January.
I keep my identity private untilthen.
First off, I'm not under duressor hostile influence or control.

(15:19):
My first car was a 2006 BlackFord Mustang V6 for
verification.
What we have It's seen withdrones, remember all the drones
back east, is the operationaluse of gravitivity propulsion
systems, powered aircraft bymost recently China in the East

(15:43):
Coast.
But throughout history, the U.
S.
and only we in China have thiscapability.
Now remember this man'sclearance, this man's level of
information that he has accessto with the U.
S.
government.
And he goes on after saying U.
S.
and China are the only ones thathave this capability.

(16:06):
China has been launching themfrom the Atlantic from
submarines for years.
But this activity recently haspicked up.
As of now, it's just to show aforce.
And they are using it similar tohow they use the balloons for
SIGNET and ISR, which are alsopart of the integrated comms
system.

(16:27):
Now these are statements andtalking about information that
military people would knowabout.
And that the army and militaryuses, there are dozens of these
balloons in the air at any giventime.
There's so what then he goes onto say.

(16:49):
So what is because of the speedand delve of these balloons in
the air at any given time?
Remember there, if you werefollowing that, it had been
following that.
And my investigation was, wasshowing one instance where a
police helicopter went up to tryto find out what it was.

(17:10):
And it suddenly just shot offand took off.
And there's been sightings andcamera shots that show this
excessive speed.
And it's, it's logical.
I was in the Air Force and Ispent time in various functions.
And I spent time at Edwards AirForce Base, which was a proving

(17:33):
ground testing.
And at nighttime, there would beall kinds of.
Vehicles flying out of there.
Some of them look like flyingsaucers.
And I know, I was over at GeorgeAir Force Base close by, and we
would have these things comingover at night, and they would be

(17:54):
stopping and hovering over therunway and then shoot off in all
directions.
And of course, the public atthat time was, was making calls.
They were seeing these thingsand all of course, it was all,
no, it's your imagination.
It's just a helicopter.
It's a yeah.
And we were sitting therelaughing.
Of course, we knew what it was.
So that was back in the 60slate, early 60s.

(18:17):
So we know that technology hasbeen out there.
And he goes on to say it'sbecause of the speed and stealth
of these unmanned AC.
They are the most dangerousthreat, Matthew goes on to say,
that national security that hasever existed.
They basically have an unlimitedpayroll capacity and market over
the White House if they wantedto.

(18:38):
It's checkmate.
USGA needs to give the historyof this, how we are employed and
weaponizing it, how China isemployed then.
And what the way forward is.
China is poised to attackanywhere in the East Coast.
I've been followed for over aweek now from likely Homeland or

(19:00):
FBI and they are looking to moveon me and they're unlikely to
let me cross into Mexico.
But they won't because they knowI am armed and have a massive V
Bag.
One the, the person who got thisemail had talked to the FBI and
when he said VBAT, the FBI justsaid, what's that?

(19:20):
And of course, if you've beenaround the military, that's in
layman's terms, it's a bomb.
It's a vehicle embedded bomb,but like the IEDs that are
stationed along the roads andwhatever.
And so he, he had.
Massive explosive in that Tesla.
And thank God he chose a Teslainstead of blowing apart and

(19:41):
maybe injured or killing peopleor knocking out the front of the
Trump hotel.
Tesla vehicle.
Thank you, Elon Musk.
It's a shot the explosion allthe way up.
So that was because and do dothe less damaged.
I've been trying to maintain avery visible profile.
Matthew goes on to say, and I'vekept my phone and they are

(20:04):
definitely digitally trackingme.
I have knowledge of this programand also war crimes that were
covered up during airstrikes inNamraz, Providence in
Afghanistan in 2019 by theadministration, DOD, EEA, CIA.
I conducted targeting for thesestrikes of over 125 buildings.

(20:29):
He was there.
He was in the middle of it.
This is firsthand account forme, not hearsay or from some
third party.
65 were struck because of CIVCAS that killed hundreds of
civilians in a single day.
USFORA confirmed strike,continued strikes after spotting

(20:54):
civilians on an initial ISR.
It was supposed to take sixminutes.
And scramble all aircraft andsent them.
The UN basically called thesewar crimes, but the
administration made themdisappear.
I was part of that coverup withUSF or a, an agent of the DEA

(21:20):
name, not here.
So I don't know.
If my induction attempt isrelated to either, I worked with
General Milley's IO staff as, onthis as well as a response to
Bala Lugahab, M U I G H A B.
That's not my best languagethere.

(21:40):
And he goes on to say, an OBScommander at the time can
validate this.
You need to evaluate you need toelevate this to the media.
So we can avoid a world warbecause this is a mutually
assured destruction situation.
He goes on to say for vetting,my LinkedIn LinkedIn is Matt

(22:05):
Berg or Matthew Levelsberg,active duty 18Z out of I dash
10.
My profile is public.
I have an active TSSCI.
With a UAP and a USAP access.
Those are top, top secretsecurity occurrences where he

(22:27):
could be read in to the most topsecret events.
Now, it appears like thatMatthew knew that he was
fighting City Hall.

(22:48):
Maybe he was thinking about,well, could he become a
whistleblower?
Could he some way?
get this out and survive.
He was active military and it'svery possible that he was having
issues involved with PFD andother events, but it seems to he

(23:11):
was feeling the weight of thatkilling of all those civilians
in Afghanistan.
and others that he was part of,and then he would see it covered
up.
So we don't know totally, butwe'll probably know a lot more.
And it's obvious that from theSheriff, Metropolitan Police
Department in in Las Vegas, thateverything's going to come out.

(23:35):
It's not going to be anythinghidden this time.
There's going to be a cover up.
And and I suspect when the newFBI director gets there, We will
be hearing a whole lot moreabout a whole lot more things
that, for whatever reason, hasbeen kept from the American
public.
Now, what do we do?

(23:56):
What can we do?
Like, we read this thing and, ofcourse, we hear about, oh, a
third world war.
And I say, yeah, I've beenhearing about that for years.
We were going to have a nuclearwar in the 70s, 80s, it was
Russia.
And we get so busy with ourlives and so involved with just
surviving and with all the stuffwe've gone through since 2020

(24:19):
and, and massive inflation.
People have to work two or threejobs, just trying to pay for
food and rent and take care oftheir kids and school and buy
gas.
So what do, what's 2025?
It's gonna be like, and how canit be different?

(24:39):
Well, one, we have a newadministration coming in.
And it's, that's why it's soimportant.
And I think the Republicansenators have gotten this.
American people, American peoplehave had enough.
And if there's a few of thosesenators that don't like Trump
for some reason, they betterline up.

(25:01):
And the American people said, wewant Trump and we want his
people there.
So it's important that these keypositions.
Such as attorney general and FBIdefense.
And a lot of these others thatnew blood is brought in people

(25:22):
that aren't going to be boughtoff and fall into the status quo
and folks, the deep state isthere.
I've been in the middle ofWashington in some.
Things after I, I built aprivate intelligence network out
around the world, had stationsout around the world, starting

(25:43):
in the seventies, eighties,nineties, I I build up this
network and service before,before it's time.
What would happen in the, in the1980s when terrorist attacks
would go off in Europe.
And one day, the big day inParis was 12 bombs went off and
that's what really turned itaround.
And the people in Paris and thecitizens of France rose up and

(26:06):
they demand it.
that their government strikeagainst terrorists.
And that started a cleaning upat that point.
Now, of course, we've seen itget worse with what's happened
with the immigrationinfiltration there in Europe.
But after those events, my phonewill ring.
And our headquarters in LosAngeles, off the hook, companies

(26:26):
say, okay we got worries.
What, what, what can we do?
What will we, what do we need todo?
And I would lay out some plansfor them because I was very
involved in counterterrorism atthe time.
I was speaking all over thecountry on counterterrorism and
intelligence gathering and, andhow to prevent problems in a
positive way.
Talking about, yes, we havepotential problems coming, but

(26:48):
We could do something about it.
And invariably after about six,eight weeks, the died down from
all of the nudists of the taxand they would not do anything.
And this was a cycle.
It happened all through theeighties up into the nineties.
And so I think in 2025, yes, wehave a lot of positive school.

(27:12):
I see it everywhere.
I'm sure you do too.
Go to the stores, wherever yougo and talk a Democrats,
Republicans.
I mean, talk about mainstreamDemocrats, not the radical
lefts.
Hey, we got radicals on theright way out there.
Radicals on the left.
That's not what we're dealingwith.
90 percent of the voting publicand the people in America are in

(27:36):
this center, left, center,right.
Where they realize that to run agovernment, to run a country,
there has to be some compromise,but we don't compromise our our
constitutional rights that areenshrined there, and as an

(27:58):
example, I, I was amazedCongresswoman was on last night
talking about things that, thatwas in this current
congressional rules committee.
They have their rules they setup, and they have to vote on it,
I guess, every Congress.
In that they were going to voteon this time and and how.

(28:21):
Speaker allowed this, I'm notreally sure, but it still had
all those gender things in thereand it had the DEI that Nancy
Pelosi had set up, a departmentof DEI with massive budgets
being spent, and InspectorGeneral, who was the DEI

(28:44):
Inspector General, in theCongress.
Part of it.
And all the, all the names thatcouldn't be used there.
Not man, woman, husband, wife,aunt, uncle, cousin.
It was all these woke names.
Well, she found that, she said,guys, I'm not voting on this,
that I'm going to expose allthis if it's not changed.

(29:06):
And it's all gone now.
It went back to man, woman, boy,girl.
Yes, there's two genders.
And it went back to the wholeDEI was eliminated.
Well, that has to happen.
The military has to happen.
FBI, the Secret Service, and alldown through the government in
the U.

(29:27):
S.
Now, what can we do?
To help out those that we sentto Washington.
Well, we can stay informed.
There's so much information outthere, just like this
information that gets out there.
And if we do some research youknow, maybe set up one time a
month, set up an hour a monththat you get on your computer

(29:49):
and you check out what's goingon in my local community, what's
my school board doing?
What are, what are the events?
What if there is this CRT and,and all of the gender things
that they're trying to teach ourkindergarten about sexual split,
explicit things that's going tobe out there.

(30:10):
If you search these things outon the internet, you'll find out
if something's going on in yourlocal community.
If a school board write lettersshow up and testify.
And I guarantee you that won'tbe any FBI division going after
terrorists.
You are showing up at at schoolboard meetings to protest and

(30:32):
have their voice heard aboutwhat's being taught to their
children.
I give them to you.
That's going to be gone and theFBI is going to be back to be
doing the work that it was setup to do.
That's investigating criminalsand keeping our streets safe and
being preventive.
So then, oh, if you findsomething in your local city

(30:54):
council or your local.
area that's going on.
Get involved.
Let your voice be heard.
Voices do make a difference.
I remember back in the early80s, I was speaking a lot on
counterterrorism, and prior tothe Olympics in 1984 in Los

(31:17):
Angeles, I had gone with a groupof law enforcement people to
Europe.
We called it the InterpolConnection, and we started in
England, went to France,Germany, Italy visited all of
the Scotland Yard and, and inFrance, the French national
police and, and their events ofwhat was going on around
terrorism.
And then in Germany, we focusedon the Munich games in 72 and

(31:39):
how that attacks happened, whatthey had won.
We met with GSG9, which the thenco founder of GSG9, Lemmy
Weigold Weigold become, startedworking for me.
As a source and then when heretired, he became head of our,
our German station, and welearned about how to pretend
terrorist attacks at theOlympics in 1984, and it worked

(32:03):
out pretty well.
Well, as I was talking aboutTerrorism intelligence
gathering, I was involved withLAPD and, and the brass at that
time, Daryl Gates was the chief,Bob Vernon was the assistant
chief, Mark Croker was deputychief and and they had a
organization or theirintelligence group was called

(32:24):
PDID and They got under attacksby the ACLU that they were going
to shut them down.
They, they were spying on thepublic and they were going
before the city counciltestifying that yes, it's not
needed.
It's fine on the public, they'reviolating citizens rights.
And it was Bob Vernon did talkto me.

(32:46):
About could I get involved inspeaking out against this?
And when we talked to some ofthe city council members, we
learned that the 1st, 1 told me,he said, well, where have you
people been?
The only people that have beenhere testifying have been the
ACLU where we waited that wedon't need that.

(33:07):
It's all lying on the public.
We haven't heard anything else.
And so we got the message, anumber of us formed an
organization, Concerned Citizensfor Los Angeles.
We called a press conference,laid out the facts of what was
going on.
And we needed help, and within ashort time, we had thousands of

(33:30):
people that rose up, gotinvolved, and we stopped the
disbanding of the PDID.
Yes, we can make a difference ifwe find out the fact and then
are willing to step out of thecrowd and get involved.
Also during that time frame, Ilearned what can happen when you

(33:52):
go in the lion's den.
Well, it was kind of like thatduring the lion's den.
I had been invited to debate thehead of the ACLU in Los Angeles
at UCLA and one of their events.
It was I don't know, there'sprobably a hundred people there,
all ACLU, and here I was, thisyoung, I'm a kid at the time,

(34:16):
and not, I wasn't a professionaldebater, I had never had that in
school, I, I grew up in Missourion a farm, I went to a one room
schoolhouse for the first eightyears, and to Chillicothe High
School, Which was, I don't know,we had eight or nine hundred
people, I guess, in the highschool.
So, I had been exposed to thisthing.

(34:36):
Then into the Air Force, then oninto law enforcement and
intelligence service.
And so I just went there.
And I told them the facts.
I laid out the facts.
I wasn't a Republican, I wasn'ta conservative, I wasn't
anything.
I'd had all kinds oforganizations there in Los
Angeles try to get me to sign upwith them and become one of the

(34:59):
surrogate speakers, but theywere sometimes on the fringe of
radical groups and, and I didn'twant to get tainted by them.
And as I laid out why we had aneed for PDID, why and, and how
it was protecting the citizens.
And it wasn't.
Buying on citizen till legally,and they had laws and rules that

(35:21):
if, if a PDI person broke thelaw or the rules, they could be
dealt with.
There's plenty of vehicles thereto do that.
When that meeting was over.
About an hour and a half or twohours, whatever it was, it was a
long time I spent at that time,but it felt good after I had 95
percent of the ACLU theresupport me, I had him talking to

(35:45):
me afterwards and they said,wow, that's the best
presentation.
We've ever heard.
We have never heard anythingfrom the other side.
It makes sense.
And so.
Your voice can make a differenceif you deal with the facts and
emotionally, it's it's kind oflike a woman.
I, I just love Tulsi Gaffordthat woman.

(36:08):
is so polished, so unruffled,and she knows her stuff.
She knows what she's talkingabout.
She's ex military.
She's still involved at areserve colonel and been on the
on the battlefield.
You know, this puts people's,shuts their mouths.

(36:31):
I wished I had that ability allthe time, but remember walk
softly you know, and carry a bigstick.
This is no way to use it.
We're not to use it, but we getthe best response out of people.
When we just are factual, nothaving an agenda that we're
trying to change somebody's mindto believe like we do, or like

(36:55):
an organization we might be in.
So, I found out during that thattime that one could make a
difference.
So, 2025, we need to be alert.
Now, now the war hasn't beenwon.
We won a battle in in November.

(37:16):
We're in a battle.
The American people finally hadhad it up.
I remember my friend at theFrench National Police, who was
a close friend and ran ouroperation there.
He said, Phil, the best thingthat happens in France, when the
socialists get in they, theyscrew up so bad and mess up the
country that people kick themout.
And they don't get in foranother 50 years when the public

(37:39):
has kind of forgot what theywere.
So, so remember they're going tobe coming back.
They're still going to be outthere.
They're not going to let up onattacks on trying to take away
our freedoms or attacks onPresident Trump or others and
administration.
And it's time that we forgetabout political parties.

(38:04):
Yes, I, you know, we have tovote with one party or the other
if we're going to vote and, butwe don't have to be a dogmatic,
brainwashed supporter ofRepublicans or Democrats or
libertarian or anything else.
We should be open to what isbest for our nation.

(38:27):
And remember what I said is thatthere's going to have to be some
compromise.
Now I am for helping people thatneed help.
I, I've, I've done that.
I've been there.
But I don't believe in giving ahandout.
I believe we should give handsup.
In fact, if you recall back inthe nineties, Bill Clinton was a

(38:51):
master at playing like he was aRepublican and his run for
election on the second term, hewould have thought he was a
moderate Republican, but he alsolearned that.
When the Congress was stackedagainst him, he joined them and
they passed the, um, welfarebill that reformed welfare and

(39:13):
got millions of people off ofwelfare as a welfare.
They worked, they had to, theyhad to get training.
They had to they couldn't justlive on welfare and become
recipients of handouts.
What a difference that made.
Well, that was when Democratsand Republicans and Bill Clinton
was the one that signed thatinto law.
So let's go back.
At a time when we look at what'sbest for the country and say,

(39:37):
okay, I'm, I'm, I'm listening toyou.
You know, you've got a goodpoint there.
And I'm, I'm going to supportthat because it makes sense for
our country.
It's like some of the DemocraticCongress for now, or senators
are saying, well, why wouldn'twe be?
Shouldn't we be for cuttingcosts and cutting out waste and

(39:59):
no matter if it is Trump.
Warning and his team wanting todo it.
If it's good for the country, weshould all be supporting it.
So that is something that Ithink we need to have a change
of mind, and this is going totake education.
It's going to take us takingtime to put aside our own

(40:24):
prejudice.
And the real problem is, is alack of knowledge.
The reason that people blindlyfollow their party is because
they're uninformed.
They're uneducated about whatthe facts really are.
And if you listen to a leftistleaning press or shows, you're

(40:50):
going to have a leftist leaningviewpoint, if that's all you
get.
So we need to be, and the samething on the right, We don't
want to be so dogmatic aboutconservative issues that we have
some, someone that's out of lineon the conservative side, we

(41:11):
need to call them out.
And if, if there are people on,on the Republican or
conservative side that say, Oh,we don't need any, any help for
people.
We shouldn't have that.
It's a waste of money.
Well, we don't, that's notright.
So we need to come together.
And agree on things that are forthe good of the country.

(41:34):
Yeah, there's always going to beissues that we have different
ideas on of how to solve.
And, but the leftists, theradicals want to take away our
whole freedom and way of life,but also they are you know,
wanting to have total control.

(41:56):
And not just compromise, buthave the government running
every aspect of our lives.
And, and I think the biggestthing we need to now continue on
with too, and thinking of 2025is we're back to schools.
In Oklahoma, they have passed alaw that the Bible will be back

(42:18):
taught in schools.
And there are other states thatare following up with Prayer and
the pledge of allegiance areback, but we need to push for
that in our cities and states.
If that's not already.
Because when you look at thedownfall of the US and their

(42:39):
society, we can go back to rightto the time years ago when we
started taking biblical views,godly views, the Ten
Commandments moral principles,whether it be on the right life,
whether it be on what ourchildren are taught, Do you

(43:01):
realize that your children inmany schools aren't even being
taught history, the realhistory?
They've rewritten textbooks thathave a whole purported this a
they're liars.
They, they've changed history.
They've made our foundingfathers look like racist slave

(43:24):
owners and ungodly people.
Every one of those men that wereinvolved in the building of our
Constitution or Bill of Rightsor whatever most of them were,
were, were committed followersof God.
There were some that were moredeitists, but they believed in
God.
But Benjamin Franklin, He wasone that wasn't this biblical

(43:46):
scholar, but he was promoting aconcept from the Bible be put in
the constitution.
My children aren't being taughtthat.
They're being taught that we arethis bad country that has white
privilege.
Oh, man, that, that, that youwant to run from that stuff fast

(44:07):
as you can, but make sure yourchildren aren't being taught
that they're being taught.
True history fight to gettextbooks back in your schools
if you're not there and the bestthing you could do.
Is put school board members inthat believe in our
constitution, believe in ourBill of Rights, believe in the

(44:30):
biblical worldview that everyone of those founders had.
And when you look back in ourhistory, it was back to starting
well, even before a donation wasfounded, they were using the
Bible, the Bible primers andother books were based on the
Bible.
That's what they were teachingthe school.

(44:51):
That's how they taught Englishor math and other, other topics.
And it was about the 1850s whenthe change started shifting.
Now, up until that time.
And I've, I've done some deepdiving into the founding of our
nation, whatever.
I'd forgotten a lot of stuff andhaven't even heard.
And I was amazed when I, when Irealized that Harvard, Yale,

(45:17):
Princeton, these olduniversities were Christian
institutions.
Harvard was taught as a, wasfounded between ministers and
people in righteousness.
And the Bible was a foundingdocument they use to teach and

(45:38):
train what we should live ourlives.
And even in law, it was in about1850s around there.
I don't make exact dates up.
The new head of Harvard came inand up until then, it had been
godly men who had been looked atthe world with a biblical

(45:59):
worldview.
And he decided, he was anatheist, and he decided that we
didn't need to have the Bible,it shouldn't be there.
And he then started picking itout.
He brought in its head of thelaw department, another atheist,

(46:21):
and they moved away from the theprinciples and the teaching
methods.
That had been there based onbiblical views and that started
the downturn in our educationsociety, and then it spread out

(46:41):
through Princeton and all theother universities.
And have we seen that in inrecent times?
And I just had forgotten that Itwas doing but started bringing
things into the school systemsand the theory was with these

(47:03):
people that man was smarter thanGod and man could figure out and
had to figure out the future,how to live, how to work, and it
took Over the years, and it keptprogressing little by little by
little up around the the 1900sWoodrow Wilson was one president

(47:25):
that was a promoter of that andhelped speed it along.
And did you know that for thefirst 180 or so years or more,
there wasn't an income tax?
In the U.
S.
I'll bet you most of you didn'teven know that because I had
forgotten that.

(47:45):
I don't remember hearing that.
And in fact, it was, it wasunconstitutional to have an
income tax.
And the revenue of the UnitedStates, the majority of the
revenue came from tariffs andsales tax.

(48:07):
Can you believe that?
And it started them in aroundThe late 1800, early 1900 and
and I, I've lost the man's nameright now.
Forgive me that started this,that we needed an income tax to
be able to support thegovernment and we can look at

(48:29):
history of that last hundred and25 years or so.
And then during Roosevelt's timethey just went all wild on on
raising taxes.
And so they've had a piggy banknow Donald Trump, again, it's
advocating for the abolishmentof the income tax.

(48:52):
I mean, this will be a war.
This will be a fight.
And there are forces inWashington that don't want.
Anything to do with eliminatingtaxing, because when the left
gets in control, as they didwith the trillions in our debt,

(49:13):
that without the taxing, theywould be at a loss to try to
promote their causes, whichultimately is to take over the
U.
S.
government and turn it into moreof a government controlled
society or totalitarian ship.
So.
Be alert for that.
That's one thing to be alert on.

(49:35):
You're going to hear all kindsof reasons why it won't work.
Well, it worked for a couplehundred years, and I guarantee
it would work again, and we needto be supporting issues like
that.
And in fact, the charts I'veseen, not only would take care

(49:57):
of everything that ourgovernment needs, but would give
us a way.
To start eliminating andreducing the debt and ultimately
getting handling this 37trillion dollar debt, which to
most of us, you know what Imean, I say, how is it possible

(50:19):
to dig out from under this hole?
Well, whether you're Republican,Democrat, Libertarian,
Independent, we need to startlistening and being open to
ideas.
And if it means going back,there's nothing wrong with that.

(50:40):
You know, I think most of usthink it's, well, you know, if
you're standing still, you'rereally going backwards, so you
don't look backwards.
Those, those are old things.
Don't deal with those.
Let's, let's do some new things.
Well, I think it's time that wein this country started saying,
let's rewrite people say you'resupposed to do.

(51:04):
Let's go back.
Let's look at what was working.
And let's figure out if it won'twork again.
So there's issues like that,that are extremely critical to
us now in 2025.
So, I think we're going to seeinflation go down quickly, we'll

(51:29):
see food costs go down, andthat's a difficult thing.
Remember during 2020, whenprices got, products got low in
stock, prices started going up.
The only trouble is, when thingsstarted leveling out, the prices
never went back down.

(51:49):
And that's always the danger wehave with these events is, is
how do we get prices back down?
It's only if we, thestockholders in America, we, the
citizens, Who are supposed tocontrol this society, and it's

(52:10):
getting back to what JohnKennedy said to the FBI and
others there in New Orleans.
We are going to get answers.
We are going to have truth.
We are going to havetransparency, or there's going
to be hell to pay, he said.
And so it's time we the peoplenow have this opportunity.

(52:32):
The rise up and push backagainst what has been going on,
particularly these last fouryears and become part of the
difference.
Not just sitting on thesidelines, not just a spectator,
but get involved.

(52:54):
One still can make a difference.
I I learned a lot about howgovernment works as I've been
involved.
Contracting and around variousthings over all the years, ever
since I had West Coastdetectives and they could be

(53:17):
military, they could be homelandsecurity, that could be various
different things.
Well, after building the privateintelligence operation around
the world where we had reportscoming in and, and yeah, I had
political stuff.
I wasn't.
I didn't mandate.
I, that wasn't the, the tasking.
I didn't pass the agents outaround the world.

(53:39):
Oh, tell me everything's goingon political, but we needed that
because if I was going torecommend to a country, oh,
yeah, it's safe for you to gointo this country and set up.
We needed to know what was goingAnd what is the political
stability of the country?
What are the politiciansthinking?
One, do they like Americans?

(54:00):
American business?
Is there a likelihood that if acompany's set up in five years
or whatever, they could benationalized and taken over?
Were, were they going to betightening up in freedom that
you might have?
Was it safe?
For Americans to take theirfamilies there.

(54:21):
So, we we wanted to find outabout that and so I would get
all this political stuff.
I mean, I would get informationthey would never tell the the U.
S.
And they weren't sharing withthe U.
S.
because they were afraid offreedom of information.
I had so many government andintelligence officials tell me

(54:44):
when I was meeting with them,they said, we're not sharing
this with your government.
Because with your loose lips andleaky floors there and your
Freedom of Information Act we'reliable to be exposed.
But they would tell me thosethings because they knew it
wasn't going to go anywhere.
And if I told them it wasn't, itwasn't going anywhere.

(55:07):
So, I I had some resources andafter 9 11, I was approached and
and heard something like yourcountry needs you and so I, I
looked at how, how could I getinvolved with what I had built

(55:30):
to help.
Keep America safe.
And we know right about that 911, right after it was chaotic.
Nobody knew what was reallygoing on, what was going to
happen.
And we were moving intouncharted territories.
And the problem was the U.
S.
and I learned this firsthandgoing back to Washington and

(55:53):
being in my agencies there.
I was amazed at what they didn'thave, what they didn't know.
It was the LA Times, New YorkTimes was reporting on this and
I thought, Oh, that's just pressjargon.
And I discovered that theydidn't know because it had
become such a bureaucratic mazethat they had forgotten about

(56:20):
the mission and about human orhuman assets and intelligence
gathering much more importantthan satellite.
Satellite can't go inside asmall group of people.
And have conversations andmeetings and have trusted and
get involved.

(56:40):
So I, I I got involved and wewere working jointly.
And the mission was, was to stopterrorists before they got the
United States.
And because of the way I wasoperating, I had a lot of
freedom and we didn't have aparticular country or someplace

(57:03):
where we were meeting, we had aworld mandate.
If something was going on in theworld where there could be
exposure to the United States,then we had the mission
authority to go find out and tryto head it off.

(57:26):
And over the next years, therewas a lot of traveling.
There was a lot of runningaround the world.
There was a lot of losingrelationships.
I had a building newrelationships.
I was out in the Middle East.
I, I had been, I started mycounterterrorism and
intelligence career in NorthernIsrael, Southern Lebanon.

(57:48):
I was on the border out of Latuawhen it was a little lady bird
had a 50 room hotel there thatwe stayed in.
And the rumor was that at anyone time, it was half full of
spies that were Trying to keeptrack of what was going on
across the border and intosouthern Lebanon.

(58:09):
At that time there was a fencethere called the Good Fence.
Most people probably listeningto this don't even know what it
is.
But the Good Fence was set up bythe Israelis and Lebanese
people, either soldiers woundedor, or just mothers with
children or people that hadmedical needs.
They could come to that fenceevery day.

(58:30):
And the fence would be open.
They would be allowed intoIsrael, go to the hospital, get
medical care.
And that was those bad Israelis,you know, supposing way, warding
it over everybody.
They were the ones helping thethe Lebanese.
And they were Christian, mostlyChristian Lebanese on that
southern border.

(58:52):
And in fact, the group I wasinvolved with there, we'd had a
meeting with, uh, prime ministerBagans at the time.
And he, he told us, he said,Hey, there's these churches in
Southern Lebanon that are beingslaughtered by the PLO and
terrorists.
And the Israelis, the Jews,there's only one helping them.
Where are the Christians ofNorth America and Canada and the

(59:15):
U.
S.?
And he said, go up, I want youto go up to southern Lebanon and
see what's going on.
And we did.
And my first book, HostileIntent, which is here someplace,
came from the first meeting.
Hostile Intent was my search forterrorism and for trying to find

(59:40):
out where it came from, wheredid it all start?
So my, My background startedthere, and I saw the Israelis in
operation.
I was there on June the 6th,1982, when the Israelis rolled
through the fence and went northto pick Beaufort Castle, which
was shelling every night inIsrael.

(01:00:01):
I was on the northern frontthere.
And in the commander's home andsetting around, and it was
eerie, it was something like outof a movie, there were machine
guns and Uzis, everythingstacked, standing up, people
huddled around talking,overhead, missiles were flying
in to northern Israel, andradios were going off,

(01:00:25):
chattering, and it was somethinglike, The real, even though I've
been in the military and donesome things this was, it was an
amazing experience gettinginvolved and seeing firsthand.
What is what was going on.
And so when I got involved.
And Washington, it was tongue incheek.

(01:00:48):
I knew the potential.
I realized I found out right,really, really fast that the
agencies were very political.
I was surprised.
I learned that we had droppedthe ball with human and human
intelligence gathering, and Ibelieve that has happened again.
So on only 25.

(01:01:10):
We individuals need to becomeour own intelligence, right?
It's our own investigators.
Find out what's going on aroundyou and your communities around
you.
Then get involved.
And I remember the first time Iwent to Interpol in 1982, I was
expecting some sci-fi high-endspy operation.

(01:01:33):
And so it, it was interestingtoo, the time I was there that
time, it was a release of thenew oh the wine, I just lost the
name of it.
I wanted to call it bunch of, itwasn't, it was the eo the, the
New Crop and the whole buzz was,oh, let's, let's go over to the

(01:01:54):
cafeteria and, and Cantina andlet's sample the wine.
This is Interpol.
It's saving the world.
What is going on here?
And so they showed me theintelligence gathering room.
And I went into this room.
Of course, this was before theage of, you know, computers, I
guess.
But as far as I could see, therewas these big stacks of tubs,

(01:02:18):
ground tubs.
And they rolled, they would rollinside, you know.
And in there, there were indexparts.
That was the intelligence filesand all of these index cards was
scribbled out and I thought, ohmy goodness, no wonder it takes
so long if you ask to getsomething out of Interpol.

(01:02:40):
So my experience, so in thegovernment and doing what we did
and having the latitude that Ihad, I wasn't, I was somewhat
affected by politics, but not, ILike, like it would have been
with somebody on the deepinside.

(01:03:01):
We were able the great thingwas, was the ability to go out
and solve a problem and stopsomething from happening here in
the United States.
That was the amazing forgetpolitics, put all that aside.
That made it worthwhile what Idid for all those years.

(01:03:22):
And so we need to get ourantennas up.
Get alert.
Let's get involved.
I'll be putting out more andwe'll be hearing a lot, a whole
lot more about the Las Vegas andthe New Orleans caper.
And so be alert, be aware, getinvolved, put your antennas up,

(01:03:44):
keep looking out.
And thank you so much.

I've done a lot of television.
I've done a lot of showtelevision shows.
I've been in front of the camerathough, not behind the, behind
the camera and published books.
And but I'm not a technicalperson.
And I thought, how can I dothis?
And I learned there's such, soeasy to start a podcast, right?

YouTube channel.
Hey, it's it's easy.
So get involved, do yourpodcasts.
I used to tell people, they'dsay, well, I can't write a book.
My books would be talking about,I said, you've got a book in
you.
Now I'm going to tell you,you've got a podcast in you.
Go make it happen.

(01:05:08):
I, I said, I would never do it.
I didn't know how to do it, buthere I am.
So I just want to thank you all.
