Speaker 1 (00:02):
Oh, we have exciting things happening in the FBI. Yes,
I said, the FBI will talk about that tonight. Sean
Parnell joins us. He's got a new fancy office in
the Pentagon, all that, so much more, including Mike Cernovich
coming up. And I'm right, there are so many wonderful
(00:27):
things happening right now. I just I can hardly contain myself.
And the wonderful things I'm most concerned about are things
within the federal government. Oh yeah, I'm thrilled that the
border is getting secured and all that stuff's necessary.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We need that to save the country.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
But in the end, we have roughly three million employees
in the federal government. Well over ninety percent of them
vote Democrat every time.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Let's be generous.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Let's be generous and assume half of those aren't communist activists.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What does that mean.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It means we have well over a million communist activists
in our lives. They are in our lives, and in
small ways they rule over us. The bureaucracy of this
country has been allowed to run free forever. So how
this works, as we've talked about before, is Republican presidents
Democrat presidents. It doesn't matter if nobody goes after the bureaucracy.
(01:28):
They are the actual rulers who will make the policy.
They'll make the policy because of the checks they hand
out and don't hand out, you see. And so before
we get to specifically the FBI, let's just let's just
do a little something here. You ever read the book,
ordinary men, I've told you about this book before.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Don't worry. I'm not going to go into a big
book review here.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But there's a horrible part of the book. I mean,
most of the book is horrible. It's about Nazis shooting
Jews in the head. It's an awful, awful book. It's
an awful book, but it's a very revealing book about
human nature. I'll fast forward to that through most of
the book and get to the end. What I've always
hated so much. You get to the end, and there
(02:12):
was this reserve battalion of Nazis. Actually they were just
they were just German army guys, reserved German army guys.
And they spend the whole book murdering everybody they can find.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But in the end they didn't go to trial.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I know we all know about the Nuremberg trials, and
we're picturing all these Nazis who are getting strung up,
but most did not. In the end, the accountants took
off the uniform and they went back to being accountants.
In the end, the lawyers took off the uniform, went
back to being lawyers. They didn't live the rest of
(02:46):
their lives in shame. They didn't live in prison, they
weren't executed for their terrible crimes. They simply took the
uniform off and went right back into German society. That
part has always bothered me so much much so, let's
talk about what we have here in our country. No,
by the grace of God, we have not had a
(03:08):
holocaust here where the secret state police are shooting people
in the back of the head and throwing them into digions.
But we have evil forces inside of our government here
who have done evil with the power they've been given.
Do I need to remind you what the FBI has
been doing in recent years? That attack that siege was
(03:35):
criminal behavior, plain and simple, and behavior that we the
FBI view as domestic terrorism.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
In the FBI's view, the top domestic violent extremist threat
comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those
who advocate it for the superiority of the white race.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Domestic violent extremism is the most acute threat, a terrorism
related threat, that we are seeing to our homeland. And
as President Biden so powerfully put it, words do matter,
leadership matters?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Why they say all that? Why'd they go that route?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, it's very simple, I believe and will always believe,
not that I think we'll ever know.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
January sixth was their Reichstag fire, the Reichstag fire, speaking
of Germany, it was the fire that it burnt down
the Germany's Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
They're building their congress building. It burnt down their building,
and the.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Nazis used that fire as justification to turn government power
against their domestic political enemies, and they went and arrested
and murdered a bunch of people. I will always believe
that the United States government did January sixth, organized it,
planned it, instigated it, wanted it to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
They wanted it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
To happen because, like all communists, they wanted to turn
the guns of the government against their political opponentonents. And
like all communists, they knew they had to find some
sort of a justification for that, because they know, even
the Soviets knew this, the people.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Were going to be watchful of that.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hey wait a minute, they are they just using this
for more political power. And so, just like the Soviets,
just like Mao did, just like the East Germans did,
just like all of them did, they had to come
up with a reason, with an excuse.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Hey, we got no choice, and so.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They did January sixth, and then they began to hunt
down their political opponents, to arrest, intimidate, and destroy the
lives of.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
People who oppose them.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
They even ran news programs talking about how let's do
suggestion hunters.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Sandy, not her real name, joined a massive citizen effort
to identify the individuals who broke into the Capitol. She's
been directly responsible for helping to put people behind bars,
and she now has to hide her identity for fear
of retaliation. Sandy is today part of an informal community
(06:06):
of dozens of ordinary Americans who came to be known
as sedition hunters. Over time, they developed their own methodologies, guidelines,
even a software application to keep track of every individual rioter,
giving each one a pseudonym and compiling dossiers of evidence
(06:26):
that they then turned over to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation along with the rioter's real identity.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Evil, the government's secret police agency, enlisting Americans, Americans choosing
to participate on gathering intelligence, informing on their fellow Americans.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Evil, holy evil.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Stuff you would see in East Germany in the Soviet Union,
and it happened right here in the United States of America.
And that brings us specifically to the FBI. You see,
you don't get excuses I was just following orders. Was
never ever, ever allowed as an excuse for the Nazis.
It wasn't allowed by the Japanese during their war crimes
(07:11):
trials post World War Two. It simply does not work.
In fact, when I was in the Marines, we were
told we had a duty not to follow unlawful orders.
If we were given an unlawful order, we knew we
were supposed to say no, no, sir. But the numbers
we have are staggering. Thousands of FBI agents, thousands of them,
(07:37):
were assigned to and worked willingly to destroy the lives
of January sixth protesters, while the drug trafficking, the human trafficking,
the kidnapping. The violence took place tore this country apart.
For four years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation dedicated thirty
forty percent of its field agents to hunting down people
(08:00):
who sauntered into the capital. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
is an evil, secret police agency, and the agents who
have committed these crimes should not in any way be
allowed to take off the uniform and fade back into society.
They should be arrested and prosecuted for crimes against their country.
(08:22):
And the system understands full well how important the FBI
is to ensuring communist rule in this country. That's why
Rachel Maddow's on TV freaking out.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
But beyond that, they appear to be targeting all the
FBI agents who are involved in any of the cases
brought against January sixth rioters. And to put this in perspective,
the January sixth riot cases make up the largest single
investigation ever in the history of the Bureau. The January
six cases are the largest criminal case load ever assembled
(08:56):
by the Department of Justice. If they are going to
try to purge every FBI agent who took any part
in any one of these, well over one thousand cases.
That's that's kind of the whole FBI. I mean, not
every single member of the FBI, but certainly most of
(09:18):
the FBI.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Most of the FBI, the guns of the United States
government have slowly but surely been turned inward, and now
they're all aimed at the political opponents of Democrats, and
the men who held those guns must be punished. They
must be punished not just for justice sake, they must
(09:47):
be punished for the future of this country. Because the
next FBI agent twenty years from now, thirty years from now,
when he's thinking about doing something evil just because some
dirt bag communist leader told him to do so, he
should be able to look back on what happens to
these agents and say to himself, no, I'm not following
(10:08):
that order.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I don't want to end up in prison.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And so I need everybody in the government and the media,
every member of the system to understand this about me.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I'm thrilled that you're afraid.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Annie McCabe goes on television and talks about how the
FBI's in disarray, and this is supposed to be some
sort of sob story about these agents and their bensons.
I saw this segment, I stood up and cheered.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
I've talked to more FBI people in the last four
days than I did in the prior four years. Is
John has described it accurately. It is a place in
utter disarray right now. People are worried about how am
I going to pay the bills? How am I going
to support my family if I lose You know, if
you're anywhere in the middle of that career, not close
to retirement, if you get fired, you're done. That's the
(10:58):
end of your reputation, your ability to get job. You
lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension,
you lose your health insurance. This is a moment of
terror for these people. It is absolutely disgraceful that they
are being put through this in the middle of some
political gamesmanship or active retribution. They don't deserve to be
(11:19):
treated this way. It's unlawful and it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
All are they living in term What about their pensions?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
All they'll have to find new jobs.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
My heart is just absolutely breaking for these members of
the Stazi. Their tears nourish me, and maybe just maybe
you feel this tug of sympathy for these people. All
they're losing their livelihoods. Allow me to reintroduce you to
Elvis Chan, these FBI special agent who coordinated the Federal
(11:53):
Bureau of Investigation leaning on Facebook to censor damaging information
about Joe Biden so he could win an election. And
after he got done using his FBI position so Democrats
could win an election, he went on television and bragged
about it.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
I was very involved.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Our field office FBI San Francisco was very involved in
helping to protect the US elections in twenty twenty. And
I think we can all agree, or I think many
of us can agree, that it was a very safe election.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
We talked with all of these entities I.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
Mentioned regularly, at least on a monthly basis, and right
before the election, probably on a weekly basis. Right, if
they were seeing anything unusual, if we were seeing anything unusual,
sharing intelligence with technology companies, with social media companies so
that they could protect their own platforms.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Right, don't feel an ounce of sympathy for the members
of the Secret Police now that they're being forced to
take their uniforms off. Being fired is not even the
bare minimum of what should happen to these people. Being
fired should be just the beginning. Every single one of
them should be lawyering up because if you use your
(13:10):
position with the secret police to attack the political opponents
of Democrats, you should spend the rest of your life
in federal prison. All that may have made you uncomfortable,
but I am right. We'll talk to Mike Cernovich about
the USAID stuff, FBI stuff and more in just a moment.
Before we talk to Mike, let me talk to you
(13:31):
about waking up in the morning. You wake up and
right away you know what kind of day it's gonna be,
don't you because of how you slept. How do you
feel when you wake up in the morning. You want
to feel good every morning. Isn't that the best feeling
in the world. You wake up and you know you
got eight nine hours and you're like, all this thing
is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
You can have that every night.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Dream powder from Being will give that to you every
single night.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
You see, it's natural.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
That's the difference dream powders I've ever had where I
don't feel like garbage in the morning when I wake up.
It's natural. It's a cup of hot chocolate. Mine is
cinnamon chocolate. They have many flavors they're all delicious. I
just sit on a cup of hot chocolate before bed.
Best thing in the world shopbeam dot com slash Jesse
Kelly gets you up to forty percent off.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Go sleep like a little baby tonight. We'll be back.
Speaker 10 (14:32):
Look at all the fraud that he's found in this
US aid. It's a disaster. What the people radical left lunatics.
They have things that nobody would have believed.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
The whole thing.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
With one hundred million spent on you know what, with
money going to all sorts of groups, I shouldn't deserve
to get any money with the money. I'd like to
see what the kickbacks are. How much money has been
kicked back? I would say this, the people that get
all that money, are they kicking it back to the
people that gave it from government?
Speaker 11 (15:04):
No?
Speaker 10 (15:05):
To me, very very corrupt. The real question is how
much of a kickback has there been.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I don't understand how one man can change that much
in four years. Maybe it's getting shot in the head,
maybe it's getting rested.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I'm so impressed. I'm so freaking impressed. Joining me now.
Mike Cernovich, author filmmaker, Go subscribe to Mike Substack it's
freaking awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Before we get to usaid, this new Trump version everyone
knows who watches this show how frustrated I got with
the old softer, more a naive Donald Trump. That's probably fair,
he would probably argue, that's the exact same point.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
This new guy's outstanding.
Speaker 12 (15:48):
Yeah, Butler Pennsylvania changed it all. It's unrecognizable in a way.
It vindicates you and me who said, oh, oh, he
could have done this, you know, because I remember twenty seventeen,
people call me a never Trumper, and I that's that's interesting,
considering I destroyed my whole life being one of the
early Trump people and lost contracts, cut in rent, venues
(16:09):
to hold events like basically ruin my life.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
But yeah, I'm a I'm a.
Speaker 12 (16:13):
Never trumper, right, And now he's doing all these things,
and nobody wants to go back and say sorry, I'm
sorry for for insulting you and claiming you didn't understand things.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
What what are you gonna do?
Speaker 11 (16:27):
Though?
Speaker 8 (16:27):
What do you do?
Speaker 12 (16:28):
I guess it's got a crime, more crime, more into
my pillow, have a warm milk and some cookies.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
M All right, Mike, let's get to us ad because
you have been all over this, like White on Rice
digging through this. I love that you're teaching people how
to do actual real journalism because we don't have any
journalists who can do that.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
What have you found, Mike.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Right?
Speaker 12 (16:52):
The USA scandal is wild and it harkens back to
something that Andrew Bypart said, I I can't get you
because quote, but it was something like opinions have heat,
but facts sizzle. There's something about putting the exact numbers
in the face of a person that gives it a
weight that's different from a hot take. So what way
(17:13):
too many people on the right or conservatives do is
they have a hot take, you know, four and eight
four and eight is a scam, and everybody's like, I
mean yeah, kind of shirt. But then you go through
the forms which thank you to Data Republican for doing it.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
I don't want to.
Speaker 12 (17:28):
I don't want to be Tim Wallson and stolen valor right,
Data Republican.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Elon doji.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
All these people really got this rolling.
Speaker 12 (17:36):
And when you when you go in, you're like, wait
a minute, third because you can search it data Republican
by term and you'll see, okay, at thirteen million to
create diversity, goes to a nonprofit. And then you can
go to pro public, which is a far left wing site,
but they have all the tax returns and it's called
a form nine ninety. So you go to USA. You
type in diversity, okay, thirteen million from USAID to whatever
(18:00):
the Academic Scholar Institute of Scholars and Academics, and then
you go Academic Scholar Institute of Scholars for Academics four
nine ninety and you look and there's all these people
making three, four or five hundred thousand dollars a year
in the case of the Kennedy Center in New York.
Once you factor in retirement contributions one point five million,
so you'll give there was one. And some people go, well,
(18:24):
that's not USA, that's National Endowment of the Art. So
for all the little nitpickers out there, I'm using us
A as kind of a Catchell. What you do is
you trace the money from you, the tax players, to
these nonprofits and you find out that people have been
living high in the hog while your.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Currency has been inflated.
Speaker 12 (18:42):
And it's actually my eyes were glazing over because I
felt like an accountant staring at a great financial fraud,
a great financial crime. And even though people would say
that it's legal, right, because the fact checker is a
nitpicking you find out this is this is scandalous. If
it is legal under the law tactically, it's still an
outrage and a scandal. And once you get into the
(19:04):
weeds on the numbers, it's completely indefensible.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Mike, I've talked about this before. The what we have
in this country because of citizen neglects, years and years
and years of citizen neglect, is we have a gangster
government now. And really it's just about robbing the treasury.
It's all about sucking up all of your money and
handing it out to their friends while punishing their enemies
wherever they can get a chance. And what I'm seeing
(19:30):
with this USAID revelation is just more of that that
we fund left wing activism.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
We fund these scumbags, all.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
The dirt ball protesters in the street, We pay for
all of it.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Right.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
What the sea change I think that will happen, or
hope will happen is we would say, well, this is
Soros funded, this is a billionaire funded, This is reed
Hoffmann funded.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
No, no, no, this was like we paid.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
For this with our inflated currency and all of us
having to watch our paychecks we paid to make all
these people live like kings, which is again the not
to be.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
One of those dorks. Who are who are?
Speaker 11 (20:10):
You know?
Speaker 12 (20:10):
Democrats are the real racists, right, those talking points that
they move much. But it occurred to me yesterday how
the left always wants to talk about the working class
and class solidarity and why can't we have a left
wing working class coalition? Well, because all your people are
the looters and the freeloaders, right, do you what if
you're you're some snob in DC, you're making five hundred K,
(20:31):
your wife's making four or five hundred K, you probably
have a Midwick College graduate daughter making one hundred and
fifty k. You guys are every year you're becoming multimillionaires.
Oh but but but why can't But they're like, oh,
why can't we reach the latinos?
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Right because you don't you know, you don't know any
of these people.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
So it does reveal the complete hoax of their so
called working class coalition. But for me, it just is,
honestly man, because I've had some pretty good years in
the private sector and made my own money and everything,
and even I When I see these money, this money,
I get angry, But I also get angry for the
(21:10):
people who are plowing snow, doing roofing in the summer.
I've done jobs like that, right, roofing in the summer,
carrying up the tiles under the roof, climbing up a
ladder hoping you don't fall down a ladder. Then you're
on the top of the roof and the sun's reflecting
off the tar and getting into your face, so it
feels like it's one hundred and twenty up there, and
(21:31):
it probably is. And you're making fifty sixty grand a
year doing that, right, one false movement in your life
is irreparably changed and are And it's not like, you know,
being media.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
I'm not claiming it's like an easy.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
Job, but you know, I do face legitimate prosecution or
have from framed crimes in the previous administration. I don't
worry about that now. I don't losely sleep now. But
the people who are in DC are just are looting
the country and look down on people. So it truly
is like to use the word of left it. I
(22:05):
was really triggered yesterday. I was one hundred percent triggered
the entire day.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Gosh, I wish you hadn't brought up roofing, Mike. That
was the worst freaking job ever. If I had to
choose between roofing or doing asphalt work, I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Know which one I would pick. I don't know if
you ever.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Did any asphalt, but the bottoms of your work boots
would melt. Yet at the end of the day, the
bottom of your work boots would be freaking melted, just
like on the roof. You'd have that tar all over
your jeans and stuff like that. Gosh, that sucked so bad.
All right, stop, I'm gonna get sidetracked speaking. You made
a great point yesterday about the media being subsidized. Caroline
Levitt said this about Politico, and I.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Can confirm that the more than eight million taxpayer dollars
that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico, I mean,
American taxpayer's dying will no longer be happening. The Doge
team is working on canceling those payments.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You made a great point when you said all these
wingers have to try to find a way to make
their own living, and people wonder how companies like Politico
do it. Of course they do it with our money.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
Right they And then of course the fact checkers go, well,
they were selling a pro subscription as if we're as
if we're that stupid, right, yeah, yesterday was a very
good example of why fact checking doesn't work and isn't credible.
So they would say, well, Cernovich, you claimed USA funded
this nonprofit and then they go USA doesn't fund it,
(23:28):
and they end it. Oh, sorry, is the National Adominent
of the Arts that gave the Kennedy Center fifty million
dollars for bull crop and then the Kennedy Center paid
at CEO a million and a half and a bunch
of other.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
People five six to seven.
Speaker 12 (23:39):
Oh okay, whatever, you know, but that's how that scan works.
So they go, well, the government was not giving them money.
USA didn't give them money. No, no, okay, so sorry,
government agencies subscribe to their overpriced garbage subscription service. As me,
it's like a book with the book contract, right, Why
in the world is a book from Hillary Clinton when
(24:02):
she was relevant? Why was that a ten twenty million
dollars book deal? You can look at book sales, you
sold books. You know what you can make on a book.
You know, if a book sells one hundred thousand copies,
you can back of the envelope know what that makes.
So how is it that these democrat like Tim Wallas
is going to get a massive book deal and we
know that that book is not going to sell over
one hundred thousand copies?
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Right, We just know these things, so you can do
the math.
Speaker 12 (24:23):
Okay, six books a book, one thousand books, six hundred thousand.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Why is he getting five to ten million?
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Right?
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Or how many books do you have to sell to
justify these book deals?
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Oh, fifty million to Michelle Obama or whatever, or to
you know, whatever the exact numbers are. But you would
just say, okay, twenty five million to Michelle Obama. Let's
divide that by six dollars. How many books does she
have to sell? And then you can check on book
scan in other places how they sell them. Well, this
is the same thing here. This is the political influencing,
which is thank you political for helping us win with
(24:57):
the Russian laptop disinformation hope. Here, we'll subscribe to a
bunch of your stuff and give us the ultra tier
premium package, the thirty grand a year package, and we'll
do that though the fact checkers. Again, I mean, it
only helps us that they do these things because everybody
is kind of caught onto the scheme. Now, okay, we
(25:18):
get it, we know what most of these book deals are.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, we certainly do. I always laugh when I see that.
People want to know, well, why is this senator, Why
is Senator Jerkwater putting out a book? No one wants
to read it. Well, he's doing it. It's just a way.
There's money laundering schemes, just the way he's got its
lush fun somewhere. It's what it all is. All right, Mike,
I can't let you go. You're a California guy. What's
it like everyone? Of course, when we live in this
(25:42):
nuclear news cycle, which is what I call it, you
pay attention to everything for about an hour and then
you move on to the next thing. Well, California is
still wiped out from those fires.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
What's it like out there? What's happening?
Speaker 12 (25:54):
Yeah, A lot of people that there hasn't been any
waste removal so far last I heard, because of all
these government agencies and what if there's asbestos and.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
What if there's lithium in the water, and you name it?
Speaker 12 (26:06):
So even beyond getting the approval process, there's gonna be
a problem. What's what's more or less happened is that,
And this is why California is like a weird state.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
So I what I actually went to loss. I lived
in Malibu.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Now people would go, oh, you lived in Malibu, must
be you know, must be nice NEPO baby trust fundered.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
No.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
I lived in a woman's garage in Malibu, and she
was rich.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
She had just moved there in nineteen seventy and her
house was seventy five thousand dollars and now it's worth
you know, millions of dollars. So people like that are
more or less wiped out because the insurance isn't going
to be enough to rebuild. Right, So you have the
class of people who are they just happened to bluck
into California in the seventies, and people say, oh, they're
so rich.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
No.
Speaker 12 (26:47):
No, there's a lot of people living in multimillion dollar
houses in California making eighty grand a year just by
virtue of you bought it when it was seventy five
thousand or two hundred thousand, and now now it's worth millions.
But that's not your fault, so those people are kind
of wiped out. The richie richies all went to the
fancy hotels in Laguna Beach in these areas, So a
(27:09):
bunch of them are resettling in Manhattan Beach because that's
still close enough to LA And we're hoping that not
too many of them end up in Orange County because
maybe they maybe they'll wake up and vote Republican, or
maybe they won't.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
But I'd rather I'd rather not really risk it.
Speaker 12 (27:25):
Orange County had our congressional seats stolen from us in
the last election. Hopefully, hopefully we can get that fixed
in California if Trump can. So you have the richies,
the richies who they can afford to live anywhere and
resettle anywhere. But by the time they're in Manhattan Beach
and by the time they can rebuild, there's no schools.
(27:46):
There's no People don't think about it like what makes
a to get you know, philosophical, what makes a town
to town. It's the focal points. It's your the football games,
especially if you're in Texas, it's the schools. It's these
nodes that that draw people. And if your school burns down,
you move your kids in a new school for two years.
(28:06):
Do you rebuild or do you do you start over
somewhere else. So there's a lot of that going on.
And then of course they're people who were just like
wiped out financially and they'll most likely have to leave
the state. And those are the cases that are tragic.
That was what upset me about to California discussion.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Is that.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
Definitely politicize it with the richie richies who voted for
Karen Bass and then definitely politicize that. But the kind
of person who you know, I slept in someone's garage
that had been converted into a studio apartment, some bootleg apartment.
The people like that were good people and they're they're
wiped out totally. Most of them voted Republican and they
(28:45):
were these old school Californians there. And then of course
there's I've got a couple of companies I invested in.
They were living in Palisades, good Republicans. The whole the
whole thing is kind of a mess, and what it's
going to look like to rebuild is hard to say.
But the the states changed, and I definitely think it
has nudged people, nudge people to the right. So I
(29:06):
think what we're going to see in California is a
Dino a democratic name only, which is basically what Rick
Caruso was. Because in California, you're not gonna be hardcore
pro life, and when you're just not going to you're
you're not gonna be shooting AR fifteen's. And when I wish,
you know, I wish, But you can have you can
(29:31):
have something other than Zimbabwe, right, you can have something
that's run like a real country and not an African
third world dictatorship.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Oh gosh, well, I hope you do, Mike, because I
love freaking love California and I wanted I wanted to
come back.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Mike, do the best, brother. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
John Parnell my friend. He's got an office in the Pentagon.
Now what's that like? Am I allowed to go visit?
Oh no, I'm gonna ask you. I promise I'm gonna
ask him. And if I can go visit, a probably
video it put it up on our YouTube channel something
cool like that. So I'll let you know. I'll keep
you posted. I've been keeping you posted about Pure Talk.
(30:11):
If I not tell you all the time, save a
bunch of money. Switch your cell phone. But it's not
just about the money savings. That's nice right now. I mean,
when you're talking about saving one thousand dollars a year,
what could your family do with one thousand dollars a year.
It's a lot of money, So that's nice, But it's
about putting our money where our morals are as well.
It's nice when you can do both save money and
(30:34):
stop giving money to Verizon at and TT Mobile. Pure
Talk's on the same network. Pure Talks run by a veteran.
Pure Talk hires Americans who speak English, which is wonderful.
Switch think of it out free phones right now with
qualifying plans, free phones, puretalk dot com.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Slash jessetv. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Well, you know, I don't like the brag, right It's
to be the last thing in the world I would
ever consider doing his bragging. But I happen to have
some friends in some pretty high places. Now, Sean Parnell,
he doesn't need any introduction on this show. Sean and
I have been friends for years and i've I mean
I first knew Sean back when he was just a
(31:26):
stupid army officer. No, he fought in Afghanistan, he wrote
a great book.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
But now let me.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
See hold On, Sean, hold On, I got to make
sure I read this off the paper. I've never introduced
you this way before. Now he is the chief Pentagon
spokesman and assistant to Sect Deaf.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
For public affairs.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Sean, the only thing I want to know is can
I come visit you to You have an office in
the Pentagon?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Am I allowed? Like I've never been there? I want
to come.
Speaker 14 (31:55):
You know what's funny, I've never been to the Pentagon either.
Guys like me and you all I know I've got
such to me and you have spent all of our
time in the trenches front towards enemy. I have never
been in an air conditioned military office in my entire career.
But somehow, because of President Trump, like I get to
(32:19):
walk back into the Pentagon, and not just I mean,
I take this this very very seriously.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
We're laughing about it here with Jesse.
Speaker 14 (32:27):
One of the things, and I know you and I
have talked about this many times, but I know if
at least for me after nine to eleven when I joined,
one of the things that I didn't realize going in
and I understood the history of the American military. On
an academic level, I knew how amazing, you know, the
men and women who served this country were before me
(32:47):
in generations prior, but I didn't really understand it fully
until you know, I went through training with my men in.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
An infantry tune.
Speaker 14 (32:56):
Back then, it was just men in the infantry shoot, move,
communicate the game, and then you go to war and
then you fight, bleed and die together, and then you
start learning about them and then the legacy of these
of the of the unit that you're in. I mean, man,
we really are standing on the shoulders of giants, you know,
in this country, of all the American war fighters and
(33:18):
warriors who came before us, who sacrifice so much for
everything that we have here. So I get the opportunity
now in the Pentagon to represent that legacy. But every
American warfighter in uniform today and everybody who had donned
the uniform in the future. Man, now I understand that
we're standing on the shoulders of giants going into it.
And I get a second opportunity to serve with these
(33:39):
men and women. Man, it's it's it's crazy. But never
been in the Pentagon, so I'll probably get lot.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I was a lieutenant. It's probably the first thing. That's
probably the first thing that will happen.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
No, Yeah, I'm glad to hear you talk like that though,
because it is so awesome. I was actually listening to
a podcast on the way to the studio today. I
wish I could plug them. I can't think of it,
but it was they were talking. It was World War
two in the Pacific history, and it was about some guy,
a Medal of Honor recipient David Ruhle, who spent the
night on Ewo Jima, spent one night in a foxhole
(34:11):
with the dead Japanese soldier who he had killed with
a k bar getting into the foxhol and then he
jumps on a grenade, saves his buddy's life, gives his
life on Ewo GiMA. And you just think about that
kind of heroism, that kind of people.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
And now it's your job, you know, I a you
pete the boys.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
It's your job to make sure that military legacy is maintained,
one that has been attacked a lot over the last
four years.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's an awesome responsibility.
Speaker 14 (34:33):
It is it is, and it's an honor to do it,
especially as as.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
A ground pounder. Right, I was in the infantry.
Speaker 14 (34:40):
You were in the infantry, you know, and you know
I witnessed my soldiers on the battlefield do extraordinary things.
I mean, believe me when I tell you they are
on the forefront of my mind as I as I.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Take this role.
Speaker 14 (34:54):
But also everybody that's in the uniform now and you
look over the last four years of how still the
greatest military on the face of the planet. But I
think we can all acknowledge that we've gotten way off
track with this crazy social experimentation, this insane focus on
DEI you know, and I know that if you're in
(35:15):
an infantry pletune, you only have so much time to
train before you go to the battlefield, before you go
to combat. And if you're even spending one singular second
learning about someone's pronouns or some crazy rainbow flag, you
are not focused on what you need to do to
keep the man to your left and to your right alive.
(35:37):
And this is serious, serious stuff. When lives are on
the line, you can't afford any distraction. And so you know,
not only is it an honor to represent these American warfighters,
but it's also once in a lifetime opportunity to really
get our military back on the right track, and that
is a focus on readiness. That is a relentless folks
(36:00):
on the mission, evolving the force to where we need
to be to combat conventional threats and ultimately lethality. That's
what it's all about. We got four years to do it.
We've got to move fast there.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
You do, Sean, what are you And I understand you're
going to be limited in what you're probably allowed to
tell me right now, and that's obviously totally fine. But
what are you encountering as far as resistance from within
the military industrial complex?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
So far?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
We see all these stories about you know, US aids
in the news right now, Treasury Department, DOJ. I did
see Linda Fagen with the Coastguard had to get the Kiev.
Ho are you getting any resistance from inside?
Speaker 11 (36:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Not yet.
Speaker 14 (36:42):
In fact, I haven't even officially, I haven't even been
to the Pentagon yet. So I'm just doing all my
onboarding paperwork right now and getting ready to transition down there.
But you know my approach, Jesse, and it might be Look,
the last guy that did this job was was John
Kerb before the Biden White House pulled him over to
(37:02):
the to to to help the Press secretary because she
was just terrible over there. But my approach here, Jesse,
is one of radical transparency in this job, because you know,
the American people have lost an enormous amount of trust
in our institutions across the board, but especially in once
(37:24):
n once once honorable institutions like the Department of Defense,
the American military, And so I am going to tell
the truth to people when I have information. You know,
the American people will hear at the American the American
media will have opportunities to ask questions about it. Now,
you know, can't be divulging troop movements and classified information.
(37:45):
But the point is, do you remember in Afghanistan during
the surrender, when you know, journalists in the Pentagon reported that, oh,
we killed a suicide bomber, right, a suicide bomber going
to attack at Abvygate. Actually it was it was an
Afghan family with children. I'm gonna make sure that that
never happens because the American people have a right to
(38:06):
know what's going on in the world.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
And so I'm just approaching.
Speaker 14 (38:10):
This, you know, with big eyes, big airs, you know,
with you being trying to be humble and self effacing
and just a pledge to be radically transparent and honest
with the American people. That's all, you know, that's all
I can offer, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I have no doubt.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I have no doubt you'll get it done, all right, Sean. Finally,
I'm assuming after you get your nice little cushy office
in the Pentagon, I'm assuming you get you get to
fly around to our various military installations around the globe.
After all, your missed a big shot Pentagon guy.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
And so look, if there's.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
An ecstacy on any of those planes or anything like that,
you have my number.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
And I'm just saying, don't lose my number. Now that
you're a big shot, don't lose my number.
Speaker 14 (38:54):
I want to come on, wait, wait a second, are
you just mad because an army guy got this spot
instead of a marine like yourself.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Because so I'll tell you what. Here's my pledge to you.
If I'm traveling around and you want to.
Speaker 14 (39:11):
Come broadcast and you're able to do that, come come
broadcast your radio show from the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
The media gets an entire row there. We make sure
we have our service men and women there. Lined up
like it's college football Sunday. Come and do it.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
Come and do one of your shows from the Pentagon.
If you get an opportunity, I will make it happen.
I promise you, I will make it happen. I'm sure
the will love them right as they depart from coloring
in their coloring books.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You know, I will see you soon, my brother. Congrats.
I love seeing your star rise. I'm not surprised that
I'll be good. My man.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
It's actually not a terrible idea not to talk to
producer Matt about that. After the show, we could do
the show from the Pentagon. Like, I know, the Pentagon
is probably going to be disappointing. It's old and stuff
like that. But I've never been to the Pentagon. I
have you ever been to Pagon?
Speaker 15 (40:00):
I want to go to the Pentagon. Anyway, we're not
done yet. We'll be bad, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
It is time to lighten the mood, and so let
me start with something that sounds a little bit darker down,
but it's really not. It's really not because I know
we're lightning the mood here. You know we're not gonna
be in power forever, right, It's it's it's the mistake
everyone makes whenever they take power in America. I've watched
this for the entirety of my life. When Democrats win
(40:35):
an election, Democrat after Democrat will run to the television,
They'll talk to each other. We're never gonna lose again.
Republicans suck everyone a's and we're gonna be in power forever.
I remember, I think it was when Obama got elected.
James Carvill stepped in and he said, we're gonna have
Democrat well for forty years. I'm pretty sure I have
that one right. Of course, that that didn't work out.
Barack Obama did his eight years and boop, Donald Trump
(40:57):
came in and Republicans did the same thing whenever we
in an election.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Ah, this other.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
They're never gonna have power again. Democrats are cuckoo for
Coco puffs, and now everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
They're never coming back again.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
But that's not true. They will eventually. They will, how
life goes. They will, however, because it's a light in
the mood segment, and I wanted to leave you with
something happy.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I'm not sure that Democrats aren't gonna be in the
wilderness for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I'm really not sure, y'all.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well, eventually they'll come back, but something has happened, and
I'm not sure if Democrats can change it. You see,
they over time their party changed. They went from being
more of kind of a blue collar party that at
least that's how they always sold it, a blue collar,
working man, poor man's American party, that kind that's what
(41:52):
it went from.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
It went from that.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Into being this completely insane cultural Marxist party where it's
really just academic elites and complete communists screaming at each
other about things. And so before I play you this video,
it's amazing, it's from the DNC, I just want to
remind you that, yes, Democrats will always hold power in
you know, Oakland, they're gonna have New York, They're gonna
(42:18):
have these things. But in order to win the presidency,
you have to win Michigan, you have to win Pennsylvania,
you have to win Wisconsin. Winning the campus of Berkeley,
California does not earn you the presidency. I just don't
know if this party is ready to win Pennsylvania.
Speaker 16 (42:37):
The rules specify that when we have a gender non
binary candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted
as neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices
must be gender balanced.
Speaker 17 (42:50):
In this round. So I'm going to have a show
of hands. How many of you believe that racism and
massonche and he played a role in Vice President Harris's defeat. Okay,
so that's good. You all passed.
Speaker 11 (43:15):
Now, kosten will yeheck ay by JEA. That needs zin.
Welcome the Democratic National Committee.
Speaker 18 (43:24):
Wish is to acknowledge that we gather together to state
our values on lands that have been stewarded through many
centuries by the ancestors and the descendants of tribal nations
who have been here since time immemorial. We honor the
communities native to this continent and recognize that our country.
Speaker 11 (43:48):
Was built on indigenous lands and hope.
Speaker 17 (43:53):
And we'll begin with the opening statements. Each candidate will
have thirty seconds, and we'll start with doctor Tessa Hathaway.
Speaker 11 (44:02):
Good evening, everyone.
Speaker 19 (44:04):
It is my desire to be the next DNC chair,
and I just want to give you all a little
bit of something that's been on my heart here over
the last couple of days. You fighted all, you fired all,
you fighted on, you fired all when your government is
(44:28):
doing you roll you fed on, Oh you fired.
Speaker 8 (44:33):
All, thank you, thank you, doctor Hathaway.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
I don't know when they're going to come back. I
don't know. Maybe it'll be four years from now.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Crazier things have happened, but it doesn't look like they
got things figured out quite yet.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I'll see them all
Speaker 5 (45:00):
The s
Oh, we have exciting things happening in the FBI. Yes,
I said, the FBI will talk about that tonight. Sean
Parnell joins us. He's got a new fancy office in
the Pentagon, all that, so much more, including Mike Cernovich
coming up. And I'm right, there are so many wonderful
(00:27):
things happening right now. I just I can hardly contain myself.
And the wonderful things I'm most concerned about are things
within the federal government. Oh yeah, I'm thrilled that the
border is getting secured and all that stuff's necessary.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We need that to save the country.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
But in the end, we have roughly three million employees
in the federal government. Well over ninety percent of them
vote Democrat every time.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Let's be generous.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Let's be generous and assume half of those aren't communist activists.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What does that mean.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It means we have well over a million communist activists
in our lives. They are in our lives, and in
small ways they rule over us. The bureaucracy of this
country has been allowed to run free forever. So how
this works, as we've talked about before, is Republican presidents
Democrat presidents. It doesn't matter if nobody goes after the bureaucracy.
(01:28):
They are the actual rulers who will make the policy.
They'll make the policy because of the checks they hand
out and don't hand out, you see. And so before
we get to specifically the FBI, let's just let's just
do a little something here. You ever read the book,
ordinary men, I've told you about this book before.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Don't worry. I'm not going to go into a big
book review here.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But there's a horrible part of the book. I mean,
most of the book is horrible. It's about Nazis shooting
Jews in the head. It's an awful, awful book. It's
an awful book, but it's a very revealing book about
human nature. I'll fast forward to that through most of
the book and get to the end. What I've always
hated so much. You get to the end, and there
(02:12):
was this reserve battalion of Nazis. Actually they were just
they were just German army guys, reserved German army guys.
And they spend the whole book murdering everybody they can find.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But in the end they didn't go to trial.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I know we all know about the Nuremberg trials, and
we're picturing all these Nazis who are getting strung up,
but most did not. In the end, the accountants took
off the uniform and they went back to being accountants.
In the end, the lawyers took off the uniform, went
back to being lawyers. They didn't live the rest of
(02:46):
their lives in shame. They didn't live in prison, they
weren't executed for their terrible crimes. They simply took the
uniform off and went right back into German society. That
part has always bothered me so much much so, let's
talk about what we have here in our country. No,
by the grace of God, we have not had a
(03:08):
holocaust here where the secret state police are shooting people
in the back of the head and throwing them into digions.
But we have evil forces inside of our government here
who have done evil with the power they've been given.
Do I need to remind you what the FBI has
been doing in recent years? That attack that siege was
(03:35):
criminal behavior, plain and simple, and behavior that we the
FBI view as domestic terrorism.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
In the FBI's view, the top domestic violent extremist threat
comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those
who advocate it for the superiority of the white race.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Domestic violent extremism is the most acute threat, a terrorism
related threat, that we are seeing to our homeland. And
as President Biden so powerfully put it, words do matter,
leadership matters?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Why they say all that? Why'd they go that route?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, it's very simple, I believe and will always believe,
not that I think we'll ever know.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I believe that.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
January sixth was their Reichstag fire, the Reichstag fire, speaking
of Germany, it was the fire that it burnt down
the Germany's Congress.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
They're building their congress building. It burnt down their building,
and the.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Nazis used that fire as justification to turn government power
against their domestic political enemies, and they went and arrested
and murdered a bunch of people. I will always believe
that the United States government did January sixth, organized it,
planned it, instigated it, wanted it to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
They wanted it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
To happen because, like all communists, they wanted to turn
the guns of the government against their political opponentonents. And
like all communists, they knew they had to find some
sort of a justification for that, because they know, even
the Soviets knew this, the people.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Were going to be watchful of that.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hey wait a minute, they are they just using this
for more political power. And so, just like the Soviets,
just like Mao did, just like the East Germans did,
just like all of them did, they had to come
up with a reason, with an excuse.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Hey, we got no choice, and so.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
They did January sixth, and then they began to hunt
down their political opponents, to arrest, intimidate, and destroy the
lives of.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
People who oppose them.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
They even ran news programs talking about how let's do
suggestion hunters.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Sandy, not her real name, joined a massive citizen effort
to identify the individuals who broke into the Capitol. She's
been directly responsible for helping to put people behind bars,
and she now has to hide her identity for fear
of retaliation. Sandy is today part of an informal community
(06:06):
of dozens of ordinary Americans who came to be known
as sedition hunters. Over time, they developed their own methodologies, guidelines,
even a software application to keep track of every individual rioter,
giving each one a pseudonym and compiling dossiers of evidence
(06:26):
that they then turned over to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation along with the rioter's real identity.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Evil, the government's secret police agency, enlisting Americans, Americans choosing
to participate on gathering intelligence, informing on their fellow Americans.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Evil, holy evil.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Stuff you would see in East Germany in the Soviet Union,
and it happened right here in the United States of America.
And that brings us specifically to the FBI. You see,
you don't get excuses I was just following orders. Was
never ever, ever allowed as an excuse for the Nazis.
It wasn't allowed by the Japanese during their war crimes
(07:11):
trials post World War Two. It simply does not work.
In fact, when I was in the Marines, we were
told we had a duty not to follow unlawful orders.
If we were given an unlawful order, we knew we
were supposed to say no, no, sir. But the numbers
we have are staggering. Thousands of FBI agents, thousands of them,
(07:37):
were assigned to and worked willingly to destroy the lives
of January sixth protesters, while the drug trafficking, the human trafficking,
the kidnapping. The violence took place tore this country apart.
For four years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation dedicated thirty
forty percent of its field agents to hunting down people
(08:00):
who sauntered into the capital. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
is an evil, secret police agency, and the agents who
have committed these crimes should not in any way be
allowed to take off the uniform and fade back into society.
They should be arrested and prosecuted for crimes against their country.
(08:22):
And the system understands full well how important the FBI
is to ensuring communist rule in this country. That's why
Rachel Maddow's on TV freaking out.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
But beyond that, they appear to be targeting all the
FBI agents who are involved in any of the cases
brought against January sixth rioters. And to put this in perspective,
the January sixth riot cases make up the largest single
investigation ever in the history of the Bureau. The January
six cases are the largest criminal case load ever assembled
(08:56):
by the Department of Justice. If they are going to
try to purge every FBI agent who took any part
in any one of these, well over one thousand cases.
That's that's kind of the whole FBI. I mean, not
every single member of the FBI, but certainly most of
(09:18):
the FBI.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Most of the FBI, the guns of the United States
government have slowly but surely been turned inward, and now
they're all aimed at the political opponents of Democrats, and
the men who held those guns must be punished. They
must be punished not just for justice sake, they must
(09:47):
be punished for the future of this country. Because the
next FBI agent twenty years from now, thirty years from now,
when he's thinking about doing something evil just because some
dirt bag communist leader told him to do so, he
should be able to look back on what happens to
these agents and say to himself, no, I'm not following
(10:08):
that order.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I don't want to end up in prison.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And so I need everybody in the government and the media,
every member of the system to understand this about me.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I'm thrilled that you're afraid.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Annie McCabe goes on television and talks about how the
FBI's in disarray, and this is supposed to be some
sort of sob story about these agents and their bensons.
I saw this segment, I stood up and cheered.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
I've talked to more FBI people in the last four
days than I did in the prior four years. Is
John has described it accurately. It is a place in
utter disarray right now. People are worried about how am
I going to pay the bills? How am I going
to support my family if I lose You know, if
you're anywhere in the middle of that career, not close
to retirement, if you get fired, you're done. That's the
(10:58):
end of your reputation, your ability to get job. You
lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension,
you lose your health insurance. This is a moment of
terror for these people. It is absolutely disgraceful that they
are being put through this in the middle of some
political gamesmanship or active retribution. They don't deserve to be
(11:19):
treated this way. It's unlawful and it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
All are they living in term What about their pensions?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
All they'll have to find new jobs.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
My heart is just absolutely breaking for these members of
the Stazi. Their tears nourish me, and maybe just maybe
you feel this tug of sympathy for these people. All
they're losing their livelihoods. Allow me to reintroduce you to
Elvis Chan, these FBI special agent who coordinated the Federal
(11:53):
Bureau of Investigation leaning on Facebook to censor damaging information
about Joe Biden so he could win an election. And
after he got done using his FBI position so Democrats
could win an election, he went on television and bragged
about it.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
I was very involved.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
Our field office FBI San Francisco was very involved in
helping to protect the US elections in twenty twenty. And
I think we can all agree, or I think many
of us can agree, that it was a very safe election.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
We talked with all of these entities I.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
Mentioned regularly, at least on a monthly basis, and right
before the election, probably on a weekly basis. Right, if
they were seeing anything unusual, if we were seeing anything unusual,
sharing intelligence with technology companies, with social media companies so
that they could protect their own platforms.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Right, don't feel an ounce of sympathy for the members
of the Secret Police now that they're being forced to
take their uniforms off. Being fired is not even the
bare minimum of what should happen to these people. Being
fired should be just the beginning. Every single one of
them should be lawyering up because if you use your
(13:10):
position with the secret police to attack the political opponents
of Democrats, you should spend the rest of your life
in federal prison. All that may have made you uncomfortable,
but I am right. We'll talk to Mike Cernovich about
the USAID stuff, FBI stuff and more in just a moment.
Before we talk to Mike, let me talk to you
(13:31):
about waking up in the morning. You wake up and
right away you know what kind of day it's gonna be,
don't you because of how you slept. How do you
feel when you wake up in the morning. You want
to feel good every morning. Isn't that the best feeling
in the world. You wake up and you know you
got eight nine hours and you're like, all this thing
is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
You can have that every night.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Dream powder from Being will give that to you every
single night.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
You see, it's natural.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
That's the difference dream powders I've ever had where I
don't feel like garbage in the morning when I wake up.
It's natural. It's a cup of hot chocolate. Mine is
cinnamon chocolate. They have many flavors they're all delicious. I
just sit on a cup of hot chocolate before bed.
Best thing in the world shopbeam dot com slash Jesse
Kelly gets you up to forty percent off.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Go sleep like a little baby tonight. We'll be back.
Speaker 10 (14:32):
Look at all the fraud that he's found in this
US aid. It's a disaster. What the people radical left lunatics.
They have things that nobody would have believed.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
The whole thing.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
With one hundred million spent on you know what, with
money going to all sorts of groups, I shouldn't deserve
to get any money with the money. I'd like to
see what the kickbacks are. How much money has been
kicked back? I would say this, the people that get
all that money, are they kicking it back to the
people that gave it from government?
Speaker 11 (15:04):
No?
Speaker 10 (15:05):
To me, very very corrupt. The real question is how
much of a kickback has there been.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I don't understand how one man can change that much
in four years. Maybe it's getting shot in the head,
maybe it's getting rested.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I'm so impressed. I'm so freaking impressed. Joining me now.
Mike Cernovich, author filmmaker, Go subscribe to Mike Substack it's
freaking awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Before we get to usaid, this new Trump version everyone
knows who watches this show how frustrated I got with
the old softer, more a naive Donald Trump. That's probably fair,
he would probably argue, that's the exact same point.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
This new guy's outstanding.
Speaker 12 (15:48):
Yeah, Butler Pennsylvania changed it all. It's unrecognizable in a way.
It vindicates you and me who said, oh, oh, he
could have done this, you know, because I remember twenty seventeen,
people call me a never Trumper, and I that's that's interesting,
considering I destroyed my whole life being one of the
early Trump people and lost contracts, cut in rent, venues
(16:09):
to hold events like basically ruin my life.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
But yeah, I'm a I'm a.
Speaker 12 (16:13):
Never trumper, right, And now he's doing all these things,
and nobody wants to go back and say sorry, I'm
sorry for for insulting you and claiming you didn't understand things.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
What what are you gonna do?
Speaker 11 (16:27):
Though?
Speaker 8 (16:27):
What do you do?
Speaker 12 (16:28):
I guess it's got a crime, more crime, more into
my pillow, have a warm milk and some cookies.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
M All right, Mike, let's get to us ad because
you have been all over this, like White on Rice
digging through this. I love that you're teaching people how
to do actual real journalism because we don't have any
journalists who can do that.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
What have you found, Mike.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Right?
Speaker 12 (16:52):
The USA scandal is wild and it harkens back to
something that Andrew Bypart said, I I can't get you
because quote, but it was something like opinions have heat,
but facts sizzle. There's something about putting the exact numbers
in the face of a person that gives it a
weight that's different from a hot take. So what way
(17:13):
too many people on the right or conservatives do is
they have a hot take, you know, four and eight
four and eight is a scam, and everybody's like, I
mean yeah, kind of shirt. But then you go through
the forms which thank you to Data Republican for doing it.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
I don't want to.
Speaker 12 (17:28):
I don't want to be Tim Wallson and stolen valor right,
Data Republican.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Elon doji.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
All these people really got this rolling.
Speaker 12 (17:36):
And when you when you go in, you're like, wait
a minute, third because you can search it data Republican
by term and you'll see, okay, at thirteen million to
create diversity, goes to a nonprofit. And then you can
go to pro public, which is a far left wing site,
but they have all the tax returns and it's called
a form nine ninety. So you go to USA. You
type in diversity, okay, thirteen million from USAID to whatever
(18:00):
the Academic Scholar Institute of Scholars and Academics, and then
you go Academic Scholar Institute of Scholars for Academics four
nine ninety and you look and there's all these people
making three, four or five hundred thousand dollars a year
in the case of the Kennedy Center in New York.
Once you factor in retirement contributions one point five million,
so you'll give there was one. And some people go, well,
(18:24):
that's not USA, that's National Endowment of the Art. So
for all the little nitpickers out there, I'm using us
A as kind of a Catchell. What you do is
you trace the money from you, the tax players, to
these nonprofits and you find out that people have been
living high in the hog while your.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Currency has been inflated.
Speaker 12 (18:42):
And it's actually my eyes were glazing over because I
felt like an accountant staring at a great financial fraud,
a great financial crime. And even though people would say
that it's legal, right, because the fact checker is a
nitpicking you find out this is this is scandalous. If
it is legal under the law tactically, it's still an
outrage and a scandal. And once you get into the
(19:04):
weeds on the numbers, it's completely indefensible.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Mike, I've talked about this before. The what we have
in this country because of citizen neglects, years and years
and years of citizen neglect, is we have a gangster
government now. And really it's just about robbing the treasury.
It's all about sucking up all of your money and
handing it out to their friends while punishing their enemies
wherever they can get a chance. And what I'm seeing
(19:30):
with this USAID revelation is just more of that that
we fund left wing activism.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
We fund these scumbags, all.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
The dirt ball protesters in the street, We pay for
all of it.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Right.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
What the sea change I think that will happen, or
hope will happen is we would say, well, this is
Soros funded, this is a billionaire funded, This is reed
Hoffmann funded.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
No, no, no, this was like we paid.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
For this with our inflated currency and all of us
having to watch our paychecks we paid to make all
these people live like kings, which is again the not
to be.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
One of those dorks. Who are who are?
Speaker 11 (20:10):
You know?
Speaker 12 (20:10):
Democrats are the real racists, right, those talking points that
they move much. But it occurred to me yesterday how
the left always wants to talk about the working class
and class solidarity and why can't we have a left
wing working class coalition? Well, because all your people are
the looters and the freeloaders, right, do you what if
you're you're some snob in DC, you're making five hundred K,
(20:31):
your wife's making four or five hundred K, you probably
have a Midwick College graduate daughter making one hundred and
fifty k. You guys are every year you're becoming multimillionaires.
Oh but but but why can't But they're like, oh,
why can't we reach the latinos?
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Right because you don't you know, you don't know any
of these people.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
So it does reveal the complete hoax of their so
called working class coalition. But for me, it just is,
honestly man, because I've had some pretty good years in
the private sector and made my own money and everything,
and even I When I see these money, this money,
I get angry, But I also get angry for the
(21:10):
people who are plowing snow, doing roofing in the summer.
I've done jobs like that, right, roofing in the summer,
carrying up the tiles under the roof, climbing up a
ladder hoping you don't fall down a ladder. Then you're
on the top of the roof and the sun's reflecting
off the tar and getting into your face, so it
feels like it's one hundred and twenty up there, and
(21:31):
it probably is. And you're making fifty sixty grand a
year doing that, right, one false movement in your life
is irreparably changed and are And it's not like, you know,
being media.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
I'm not claiming it's like an easy.
Speaker 12 (21:45):
Job, but you know, I do face legitimate prosecution or
have from framed crimes in the previous administration. I don't
worry about that now. I don't losely sleep now. But
the people who are in DC are just are looting
the country and look down on people. So it truly
is like to use the word of left it. I
(22:05):
was really triggered yesterday. I was one hundred percent triggered
the entire day.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Gosh, I wish you hadn't brought up roofing, Mike. That
was the worst freaking job ever. If I had to
choose between roofing or doing asphalt work, I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Know which one I would pick. I don't know if
you ever.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Did any asphalt, but the bottoms of your work boots
would melt. Yet at the end of the day, the
bottom of your work boots would be freaking melted, just
like on the roof. You'd have that tar all over
your jeans and stuff like that. Gosh, that sucked so bad.
All right, stop, I'm gonna get sidetracked speaking. You made
a great point yesterday about the media being subsidized. Caroline
Levitt said this about Politico, and I.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Can confirm that the more than eight million taxpayer dollars
that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico, I mean,
American taxpayer's dying will no longer be happening. The Doge
team is working on canceling those payments.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You made a great point when you said all these
wingers have to try to find a way to make
their own living, and people wonder how companies like Politico
do it. Of course they do it with our money.
Speaker 12 (23:08):
Right they And then of course the fact checkers go, well,
they were selling a pro subscription as if we're as
if we're that stupid, right, yeah, yesterday was a very
good example of why fact checking doesn't work and isn't credible.
So they would say, well, Cernovich, you claimed USA funded
this nonprofit and then they go USA doesn't fund it,
(23:28):
and they end it. Oh, sorry, is the National Adominent
of the Arts that gave the Kennedy Center fifty million
dollars for bull crop and then the Kennedy Center paid
at CEO a million and a half and a bunch
of other.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
People five six to seven.
Speaker 12 (23:39):
Oh okay, whatever, you know, but that's how that scan works.
So they go, well, the government was not giving them money.
USA didn't give them money. No, no, okay, so sorry,
government agencies subscribe to their overpriced garbage subscription service. As me,
it's like a book with the book contract, right, Why
in the world is a book from Hillary Clinton when
(24:02):
she was relevant? Why was that a ten twenty million
dollars book deal? You can look at book sales, you
sold books. You know what you can make on a book.
You know, if a book sells one hundred thousand copies,
you can back of the envelope know what that makes.
So how is it that these democrat like Tim Wallas
is going to get a massive book deal and we
know that that book is not going to sell over
one hundred thousand copies?
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Right, We just know these things, so you can do
the math.
Speaker 12 (24:23):
Okay, six books a book, one thousand books, six hundred thousand.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Why is he getting five to ten million?
Speaker 11 (24:28):
Right?
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Or how many books do you have to sell to
justify these book deals?
Speaker 12 (24:34):
Oh, fifty million to Michelle Obama or whatever, or to
you know, whatever the exact numbers are. But you would
just say, okay, twenty five million to Michelle Obama. Let's
divide that by six dollars. How many books does she
have to sell? And then you can check on book
scan in other places how they sell them. Well, this
is the same thing here. This is the political influencing,
which is thank you political for helping us win with
(24:57):
the Russian laptop disinformation hope. Here, we'll subscribe to a
bunch of your stuff and give us the ultra tier
premium package, the thirty grand a year package, and we'll
do that though the fact checkers. Again, I mean, it
only helps us that they do these things because everybody
is kind of caught onto the scheme. Now, okay, we
(25:18):
get it, we know what most of these book deals are.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, we certainly do. I always laugh when I see that.
People want to know, well, why is this senator, Why
is Senator Jerkwater putting out a book? No one wants
to read it. Well, he's doing it. It's just a way.
There's money laundering schemes, just the way he's got its
lush fun somewhere. It's what it all is. All right, Mike,
I can't let you go. You're a California guy. What's
it like everyone? Of course, when we live in this
(25:42):
nuclear news cycle, which is what I call it, you
pay attention to everything for about an hour and then
you move on to the next thing. Well, California is
still wiped out from those fires.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
What's it like out there? What's happening?
Speaker 12 (25:54):
Yeah, A lot of people that there hasn't been any
waste removal so far last I heard, because of all
these government agencies and what if there's asbestos and.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
What if there's lithium in the water, and you name it?
Speaker 12 (26:06):
So even beyond getting the approval process, there's gonna be
a problem. What's what's more or less happened is that,
And this is why California is like a weird state.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
So I what I actually went to loss. I lived
in Malibu.
Speaker 12 (26:18):
Now people would go, oh, you lived in Malibu, must
be you know, must be nice NEPO baby trust fundered.
Speaker 10 (26:23):
No.
Speaker 8 (26:23):
I lived in a woman's garage in Malibu, and she
was rich.
Speaker 12 (26:27):
She had just moved there in nineteen seventy and her
house was seventy five thousand dollars and now it's worth
you know, millions of dollars. So people like that are
more or less wiped out because the insurance isn't going
to be enough to rebuild. Right, So you have the
class of people who are they just happened to bluck
into California in the seventies, and people say, oh, they're
so rich.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
No.
Speaker 12 (26:47):
No, there's a lot of people living in multimillion dollar
houses in California making eighty grand a year just by
virtue of you bought it when it was seventy five
thousand or two hundred thousand, and now now it's worth millions.
But that's not your fault, so those people are kind
of wiped out. The richie richies all went to the
fancy hotels in Laguna Beach in these areas, So a
(27:09):
bunch of them are resettling in Manhattan Beach because that's
still close enough to LA And we're hoping that not
too many of them end up in Orange County because
maybe they maybe they'll wake up and vote Republican, or
maybe they won't.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
But I'd rather I'd rather not really risk it.
Speaker 12 (27:25):
Orange County had our congressional seats stolen from us in
the last election. Hopefully, hopefully we can get that fixed
in California if Trump can. So you have the richies,
the richies who they can afford to live anywhere and
resettle anywhere. But by the time they're in Manhattan Beach
and by the time they can rebuild, there's no schools.
(27:46):
There's no People don't think about it like what makes
a to get you know, philosophical, what makes a town
to town. It's the focal points. It's your the football games,
especially if you're in Texas, it's the schools. It's these
nodes that that draw people. And if your school burns down,
you move your kids in a new school for two years.
(28:06):
Do you rebuild or do you do you start over
somewhere else. So there's a lot of that going on.
And then of course they're people who were just like
wiped out financially and they'll most likely have to leave
the state. And those are the cases that are tragic.
That was what upset me about to California discussion.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Is that.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
Definitely politicize it with the richie richies who voted for
Karen Bass and then definitely politicize that. But the kind
of person who you know, I slept in someone's garage
that had been converted into a studio apartment, some bootleg apartment.
The people like that were good people and they're they're
wiped out totally. Most of them voted Republican and they
(28:45):
were these old school Californians there. And then of course
there's I've got a couple of companies I invested in.
They were living in Palisades, good Republicans. The whole the
whole thing is kind of a mess, and what it's
going to look like to rebuild is hard to say.
But the the states changed, and I definitely think it
has nudged people, nudge people to the right. So I
(29:06):
think what we're going to see in California is a
Dino a democratic name only, which is basically what Rick
Caruso was. Because in California, you're not gonna be hardcore
pro life, and when you're just not going to you're
you're not gonna be shooting AR fifteen's. And when I wish,
you know, I wish, But you can have you can
(29:31):
have something other than Zimbabwe, right, you can have something
that's run like a real country and not an African
third world dictatorship.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Oh gosh, well, I hope you do, Mike, because I
love freaking love California and I wanted I wanted to
come back.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Mike, do the best, brother. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
John Parnell my friend. He's got an office in the Pentagon.
Now what's that like? Am I allowed to go visit?
Oh no, I'm gonna ask you. I promise I'm gonna
ask him. And if I can go visit, a probably
video it put it up on our YouTube channel something
cool like that. So I'll let you know. I'll keep
you posted. I've been keeping you posted about Pure Talk.
(30:11):
If I not tell you all the time, save a
bunch of money. Switch your cell phone. But it's not
just about the money savings. That's nice right now. I mean,
when you're talking about saving one thousand dollars a year,
what could your family do with one thousand dollars a year.
It's a lot of money, So that's nice, But it's
about putting our money where our morals are as well.
It's nice when you can do both save money and
(30:34):
stop giving money to Verizon at and TT Mobile. Pure
Talk's on the same network. Pure Talks run by a veteran.
Pure Talk hires Americans who speak English, which is wonderful.
Switch think of it out free phones right now with
qualifying plans, free phones, puretalk dot com.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Slash jessetv. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Well, you know, I don't like the brag, right It's
to be the last thing in the world I would
ever consider doing his bragging. But I happen to have
some friends in some pretty high places. Now, Sean Parnell,
he doesn't need any introduction on this show. Sean and
I have been friends for years and i've I mean
I first knew Sean back when he was just a
(31:26):
stupid army officer. No, he fought in Afghanistan, he wrote
a great book.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
But now let me.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
See hold On, Sean, hold On, I got to make
sure I read this off the paper. I've never introduced
you this way before. Now he is the chief Pentagon
spokesman and assistant to Sect Deaf.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
For public affairs.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Sean, the only thing I want to know is can
I come visit you to You have an office in
the Pentagon?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Am I allowed? Like I've never been there? I want
to come.
Speaker 14 (31:55):
You know what's funny, I've never been to the Pentagon either.
Guys like me and you all I know I've got
such to me and you have spent all of our
time in the trenches front towards enemy. I have never
been in an air conditioned military office in my entire career.
But somehow, because of President Trump, like I get to
(32:19):
walk back into the Pentagon, and not just I mean,
I take this this very very seriously.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
We're laughing about it here with Jesse.
Speaker 14 (32:27):
One of the things, and I know you and I
have talked about this many times, but I know if
at least for me after nine to eleven when I joined,
one of the things that I didn't realize going in
and I understood the history of the American military. On
an academic level, I knew how amazing, you know, the
men and women who served this country were before me
(32:47):
in generations prior, but I didn't really understand it fully
until you know, I went through training with my men in.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
An infantry tune.
Speaker 14 (32:56):
Back then, it was just men in the infantry shoot, move,
communicate the game, and then you go to war and
then you fight, bleed and die together, and then you
start learning about them and then the legacy of these
of the of the unit that you're in. I mean, man,
we really are standing on the shoulders of giants, you know,
in this country, of all the American war fighters and
(33:18):
warriors who came before us, who sacrifice so much for
everything that we have here. So I get the opportunity
now in the Pentagon to represent that legacy. But every
American warfighter in uniform today and everybody who had donned
the uniform in the future. Man, now I understand that
we're standing on the shoulders of giants going into it.
And I get a second opportunity to serve with these
(33:39):
men and women. Man, it's it's it's crazy. But never
been in the Pentagon, so I'll probably get lot.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I was a lieutenant. It's probably the first thing. That's
probably the first thing that will happen.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
No, Yeah, I'm glad to hear you talk like that though,
because it is so awesome. I was actually listening to
a podcast on the way to the studio today. I
wish I could plug them. I can't think of it,
but it was they were talking. It was World War
two in the Pacific history, and it was about some guy,
a Medal of Honor recipient David Ruhle, who spent the
night on Ewo Jima, spent one night in a foxhole
(34:11):
with the dead Japanese soldier who he had killed with
a k bar getting into the foxhol and then he
jumps on a grenade, saves his buddy's life, gives his
life on Ewo GiMA. And you just think about that
kind of heroism, that kind of people.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
And now it's your job, you know, I a you
pete the boys.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
It's your job to make sure that military legacy is maintained,
one that has been attacked a lot over the last
four years.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
It's an awesome responsibility.
Speaker 14 (34:33):
It is it is, and it's an honor to do it,
especially as as.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
A ground pounder. Right, I was in the infantry.
Speaker 14 (34:40):
You were in the infantry, you know, and you know
I witnessed my soldiers on the battlefield do extraordinary things.
I mean, believe me when I tell you they are
on the forefront of my mind as I as I.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Take this role.
Speaker 14 (34:54):
But also everybody that's in the uniform now and you
look over the last four years of how still the
greatest military on the face of the planet. But I
think we can all acknowledge that we've gotten way off
track with this crazy social experimentation, this insane focus on
DEI you know, and I know that if you're in
(35:15):
an infantry pletune, you only have so much time to
train before you go to the battlefield, before you go
to combat. And if you're even spending one singular second
learning about someone's pronouns or some crazy rainbow flag, you
are not focused on what you need to do to
keep the man to your left and to your right alive.
(35:37):
And this is serious, serious stuff. When lives are on
the line, you can't afford any distraction. And so you know,
not only is it an honor to represent these American warfighters,
but it's also once in a lifetime opportunity to really
get our military back on the right track, and that
is a focus on readiness. That is a relentless folks
(36:00):
on the mission, evolving the force to where we need
to be to combat conventional threats and ultimately lethality. That's
what it's all about. We got four years to do it.
We've got to move fast there.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
You do, Sean, what are you And I understand you're
going to be limited in what you're probably allowed to
tell me right now, and that's obviously totally fine. But
what are you encountering as far as resistance from within
the military industrial complex?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
So far?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
We see all these stories about you know, US aids
in the news right now, Treasury Department, DOJ. I did
see Linda Fagen with the Coastguard had to get the Kiev.
Ho are you getting any resistance from inside?
Speaker 11 (36:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Not yet.
Speaker 14 (36:42):
In fact, I haven't even officially, I haven't even been
to the Pentagon yet. So I'm just doing all my
onboarding paperwork right now and getting ready to transition down there.
But you know my approach, Jesse, and it might be Look,
the last guy that did this job was was John
Kerb before the Biden White House pulled him over to
(37:02):
the to to to help the Press secretary because she
was just terrible over there. But my approach here, Jesse,
is one of radical transparency in this job, because you know,
the American people have lost an enormous amount of trust
in our institutions across the board, but especially in once
(37:24):
n once once honorable institutions like the Department of Defense,
the American military, And so I am going to tell
the truth to people when I have information. You know,
the American people will hear at the American the American
media will have opportunities to ask questions about it. Now,
you know, can't be divulging troop movements and classified information.
(37:45):
But the point is, do you remember in Afghanistan during
the surrender, when you know, journalists in the Pentagon reported that, oh,
we killed a suicide bomber, right, a suicide bomber going
to attack at Abvygate. Actually it was it was an
Afghan family with children. I'm gonna make sure that that
never happens because the American people have a right to
(38:06):
know what's going on in the world.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
And so I'm just approaching.
Speaker 14 (38:10):
This, you know, with big eyes, big airs, you know,
with you being trying to be humble and self effacing
and just a pledge to be radically transparent and honest
with the American people. That's all, you know, that's all
I can offer, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I have no doubt.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
I have no doubt you'll get it done, all right, Sean. Finally,
I'm assuming after you get your nice little cushy office
in the Pentagon, I'm assuming you get you get to
fly around to our various military installations around the globe.
After all, your missed a big shot Pentagon guy.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
And so look, if there's.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
An ecstacy on any of those planes or anything like that,
you have my number.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
And I'm just saying, don't lose my number. Now that
you're a big shot, don't lose my number.
Speaker 14 (38:54):
I want to come on, wait, wait a second, are
you just mad because an army guy got this spot
instead of a marine like yourself.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Because so I'll tell you what. Here's my pledge to you.
If I'm traveling around and you want to.
Speaker 14 (39:11):
Come broadcast and you're able to do that, come come
broadcast your radio show from the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
The media gets an entire row there. We make sure
we have our service men and women there. Lined up
like it's college football Sunday. Come and do it.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
Come and do one of your shows from the Pentagon.
If you get an opportunity, I will make it happen.
I promise you, I will make it happen. I'm sure
the will love them right as they depart from coloring
in their coloring books.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
You know, I will see you soon, my brother. Congrats.
I love seeing your star rise. I'm not surprised that
I'll be good. My man.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
It's actually not a terrible idea not to talk to
producer Matt about that. After the show, we could do
the show from the Pentagon. Like, I know, the Pentagon
is probably going to be disappointing. It's old and stuff
like that. But I've never been to the Pentagon. I
have you ever been to Pagon?
Speaker 15 (40:00):
I want to go to the Pentagon. Anyway, we're not
done yet. We'll be bad, all right.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
It is time to lighten the mood, and so let
me start with something that sounds a little bit darker down,
but it's really not. It's really not because I know
we're lightning the mood here. You know we're not gonna
be in power forever, right, It's it's it's the mistake
everyone makes whenever they take power in America. I've watched
this for the entirety of my life. When Democrats win
(40:35):
an election, Democrat after Democrat will run to the television,
They'll talk to each other. We're never gonna lose again.
Republicans suck everyone a's and we're gonna be in power forever.
I remember, I think it was when Obama got elected.
James Carvill stepped in and he said, we're gonna have
Democrat well for forty years. I'm pretty sure I have
that one right. Of course, that that didn't work out.
Barack Obama did his eight years and boop, Donald Trump
(40:57):
came in and Republicans did the same thing whenever we
in an election.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Ah, this other.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
They're never gonna have power again. Democrats are cuckoo for
Coco puffs, and now everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
They're never coming back again.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
But that's not true. They will eventually. They will, how
life goes. They will, however, because it's a light in
the mood segment, and I wanted to leave you with
something happy.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
I'll leave you with this.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
I'm not sure that Democrats aren't gonna be in the
wilderness for quite some time.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I'm really not sure, y'all.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well, eventually they'll come back, but something has happened, and
I'm not sure if Democrats can change it. You see,
they over time their party changed. They went from being
more of kind of a blue collar party that at
least that's how they always sold it, a blue collar,
working man, poor man's American party, that kind that's what
(41:52):
it went from.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
It went from that.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
Into being this completely insane cultural Marxist party where it's
really just academic elites and complete communists screaming at each
other about things. And so before I play you this video,
it's amazing, it's from the DNC, I just want to
remind you that, yes, Democrats will always hold power in
you know, Oakland, they're gonna have New York, They're gonna
(42:18):
have these things. But in order to win the presidency,
you have to win Michigan, you have to win Pennsylvania,
you have to win Wisconsin. Winning the campus of Berkeley,
California does not earn you the presidency. I just don't
know if this party is ready to win Pennsylvania.
Speaker 16 (42:37):
The rules specify that when we have a gender non
binary candidate or officer, the non binary individual is counted
as neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices
must be gender balanced.
Speaker 17 (42:50):
In this round. So I'm going to have a show
of hands. How many of you believe that racism and
massonche and he played a role in Vice President Harris's defeat. Okay,
so that's good. You all passed.
Speaker 11 (43:15):
Now, kosten will yeheck ay by JEA. That needs zin.
Welcome the Democratic National Committee.
Speaker 18 (43:24):
Wish is to acknowledge that we gather together to state
our values on lands that have been stewarded through many
centuries by the ancestors and the descendants of tribal nations
who have been here since time immemorial. We honor the
communities native to this continent and recognize that our country.
Speaker 11 (43:48):
Was built on indigenous lands and hope.
Speaker 17 (43:53):
And we'll begin with the opening statements. Each candidate will
have thirty seconds, and we'll start with doctor Tessa Hathaway.
Speaker 11 (44:02):
Good evening, everyone.
Speaker 19 (44:04):
It is my desire to be the next DNC chair,
and I just want to give you all a little
bit of something that's been on my heart here over
the last couple of days. You fighted all, you fired all,
you fighted on, you fired all when your government is
(44:28):
doing you roll you fed on, Oh you fired.
Speaker 8 (44:33):
All, thank you, thank you, doctor Hathaway.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
I don't know when they're going to come back. I
don't know. Maybe it'll be four years from now.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Crazier things have happened, but it doesn't look like they
got things figured out quite yet.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I'll see them all
Speaker 5 (45:00):
