Speaker 1 (00:00):
Finally, I live in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'll tell you what I took Uncle Jill, who applies,
no damn drones came here in my house.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I parently go off orange shots, you.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Know, with some sure for my tage, I mean, and
next time they turn back, I'm not fuling around.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That was hard to understand. Dragon. Did he say that
he has taken shots at them?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I think the whole thing was meant to be funny,
But yes, he said, I took Uncle Joe's advice.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And then he said, next time he's gonna use an
RPG zuka. Yes, okay, there you go, be sure and
let us know how that works out for you. Like
I said, I'd do it too, But I also but
I understand the consequences if I do it. Uh, I
want to. I want to now finish my point about
the drones. But go back to the Chinese spies, because
(00:55):
overall we're dealing with the new access of the evil,
and the new axis of evil is three, if not
four countries, but they're they're one of them so intertwined
that't kind of counts as one. And that axis of
evil is now the Russians, the Iranians plus all of
(01:21):
their proxies. And then for the third I would say,
you could make it into three or four, but it's
really the Chinese Communist Party and it's proxy North Korea,
and you could separate out China and North Korea and
make North Korea a separate part of the Axis of evil.
(01:41):
Because little rocket Man, little fat Rocketman may or may
not be wholly dependent upon the Chinese Communist Party, certainly
a puppet of them, but tends to be radical enough.
He's often operates on his own. Goober number makes hang
(02:05):
on to saying Goober number nine zero six zero, for example,
to emphasize the point I made at the end of
the last hour. I've worked in aviation four over thirty years,
and I called b Yes, if these are drones, the
FAA already has authority. Yes, that's my point. They already
have this bull crap about well, we need some additional
(02:27):
congressional authorities. No, you do not, d od DHS and
the FAA already have all the authorities that they need.
The New York Tracon Traffic Control Area controls everything in
that area. They know what this is and they're not
telling us. Well, let's go to the tape, because I
(02:52):
think the tape kind of speaks for itself. This is
the spokesperson for the Pentagon. Listen to this bull crap.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Representative Jeff Andrew, who is a Republican from New Jersey,
was just on the air saying that Iraan launched a
mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drugs,
and that that mothership is off the coast of the
East coast of the United States. Is there any truth
to that?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
There is not any truth to that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, okay, all right now, I understand that in these
press conferences there is a limited amount of time, and
each this happens to be Oh, what's your name? The
national security correspondent for Fox News, Jennifer Griffin, and she's
(03:47):
related what the congressman said about the mothership. I just
love using the phrase the mothership. And the spokesperson listened closely.
What does she say the.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
East coast of the United States? Is there any truth
to that?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Is there any truth to what the congressman said about
this mothership and the Iranians launching these from a ship
or a mothership off the East coast.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
There is not any truth to that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, There's not any truth to that. How do you
know how did you find out? What did you do?
You know? One of my favorite phrases, or about the
five ws who want where?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Men?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And why? Tell us the five ws? About how you
know that? There is no truth to this?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the
United States, and there's no so called mothership launching drones
towards the United States.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, then I'll tell you what, sweetheart, Why don't you
tell us why? Now we know that the Iranians have
bought drones from the Chinese, and we know that the
Chinese have advanced drone technology. The Chinese Communist Party has
(05:05):
way too much advanced technology, some of which has been
stolen from US F thirty five technology, for example, just
as one simple example. And we allow it to happen,
and we allow it to happen because for whatever reason,
we are absolutely seem to be spineless and incapable of
(05:32):
doing anything when involves the Chinese. Now, an easy answer
to that is because Joe Biden and his entire family
are corrupt and beholden to the Chinese Communist Party. That's
an easy answer, and it's a truthful answer, but it's
an easy answer. There's a much more complex answer, and
(05:53):
that answer is I think we're afraid of them, and
I think that we still we believe somehow that we
are still And don't get me wrong, I still think
we have the greatest fighting force in the world. But
do we do we really do we have for the warriors,
for the people who are actually going to put their
(06:15):
lives on the line. Do we have the best technology,
Do we have the best equipment, Do we have the
best everything? And are we spending our money appropriately to
advance those technologies so that we win the arms race
if you want to call it that, between ourselves and
Russia and the Chinese? Do we Now let's go back
(06:37):
to the Chinese nationals that are in this country, because
I fully believe that we do have these terracotta soldiers
in the country that are here for a nefarious purpose.
Why would you send Now, Remember, the numbers were anywhere
(06:59):
from four hundred thousand to over a million individuals. Those
are the estimates from security border security experts, experts and
reports that are highlight of agencies like customs and border protection.
So it's just not me pulling a number out of
my butt. These are reported numbers that you can find
(07:20):
in public available sources. So let's just take the lower number,
four hundred that let's be conservative here. There are four
hundred thousand Chinese communist operaties in this country. You think
that they're not here, to think about, suddenly they're here.
(07:41):
I shouldn't say suddenly. Over time they are here. And
suddenly the Chinese send and sell drone technology to the Iranians.
And we've got spy balloons that this president lets float
across the Illusion Islands all the way through Alaska, through Canada,
(08:02):
across Big Sky Country in Montana, where you could have
shot it down. Well, you could have shot it down
when it was first detected as it was approaching Alaska.
You could have shot it down. And you know, it
sucks to be a you know, a grizzly bear, but whatever,
and or you could have done it over a big
Sky country. The likelihood do we panic now? Think about?
(08:24):
You know how many asteroids are approaching the Earth right now.
They could obliterate the entire planet. Do we sit here
and worry and wring our hands about it? No, because
we know the likelihood of it really doing damages is remote? Now,
is there a chance? Yeah, but it's remote. So we
don't worry about it, but we're scared to shoot down
a balloon. If we're scared to shoot down a balloon,
(08:48):
then it stands to reason that you're also scared to
tell us the truth about the drones. The other factor
that really bugs me is that the Chinese Communist Party
has a real penchant for exploiting our weaknesses. So excuse me, if,
(09:11):
if anything we used to worry about in homeland security,
about people that would test us, they had no immediate
intent of causing harm. Excuse me, I can't get this,
I can't get this bug out of my throat. We
(09:31):
would worry about again, a clean skin, somebody without any
criminal record or without any known ties to foreign entities
or to foreign or terrorist organizations, but nonetheless are hired
to go probe test, kind of try to penetrate and
see where our weaknesses are, see how far they can get. Now,
(09:53):
if you've got four hundred thousand, the lower number of
Chinese Communist operatives in this this country who really don't
care if I mean, I'm sure they care on a
personal level, but as a group, they really don't care
if they end up going to jail or getting killed
or murdered or shot at or whatever, because well they're
(10:14):
communists and that's just nobody in communism cares about life.
So they're going to go penetrate and see what they
can do. Don't you find any nexus between the number
of Chinese here the sale of drone technology to the Iranians?
And then suddenly we're getting probed tested and we're being
told that we know for sure. The Pentagon spokesman says,
(10:38):
we know these are not foreign adversaries. How O table
then explain to us how you know that the mass
migration of all these Chinese nationals is absolutely consistent with
their broader strategy of infiltrating and destabilizing. Revelations from Alahambra,
(11:01):
California deepened those suspicions. A US Navy recruitment office that
was staffed entirely by Chinese individuals speaking exclusively in Mandarin
was brought to light through a video recorded by a
Chinese language youtubert. How did we get in Alahambra? How
(11:26):
do we get a Navy recruitment office staffed entirely by
Chinese individuals speaking exclusively in Mandarin? Are we some kind
of stupid or what? The recruiter in question promptly listed
as we chat id we Chat is a messaging service
that is used primarily by Asians, by Chinese because it's
(11:52):
under CCP control. That was his primary contact. Now you
think about data security allegiance oversight, do you now wonder
how many? I mean, next time you see at Navy
recruitment office, maybe you ought to go in and just hey,
anybody here speak English? Find out just go look. Oh, Michael,
(12:15):
that would be racist. I don't give a ratsass about racist.
I give a rats ass about national security. And if
I've got a Navy recruitment office that is staffed entirely
by Mandarin only speaking Chinese nationals, I got a problem.
And am I outrageous? No, I'm not outrageous. I'm an American.
I'm concerned about the security of this country. Now there's
(12:40):
another video featuring Staff Sergeant Max zang Zhang, who openly
declared that he would desert the military if the United
States were to go to war with China. Now that
candidate mission kind of personify exemplifies the potential risk of
a divided loyalty among these recruits in a geopolitical crisis.
(13:02):
Could those individuals be liabilities or could they be even
worse than that, actual terra cotta soldiers willing to break
out of their little contained you know, paper mache and suddenly, oh,
pick up arms and start fragging their own soldiers or
(13:25):
American citizens. Seems kind of far fetched, doesn't until you
realize that this is the real world that we now
live in. Let's just pause for a moment and think
about trade relations between the United States and China. China
(13:45):
needs us more than we need them. Their economy sucks
right now, and Xijing Ping is in horrible position as
the ruler for life. He wants to be the next mouse.
He tone that's a little right now, so he needs
us more than we need them. But at the same time,
(14:08):
if he seeks to become the world's singular superpower, why
wouldn't you put all of this stuff in place so
that if at any point there is a tipping point,
he's ready either way, either ready to move on with
new trade agreements and back off a little bit, or
if he's got to go to war with us, he'll
(14:29):
go to war with us. And this isn't like some
new thing that I just dreamed up. Sylvia espionage during
the Cold War Japanese internment during World War Two. All
highlight the dangers of underestimating, which we seem to do
for some reason, for an influence in this country. You know,
(14:54):
when I talk about it's becoming dumb, fat and happy,
this is a kind of dumb, fat and happy. This
is really dangerous to us. So Trump and his team
are going to have to confront this emerging threat with
a real sense of urgency. They're going to have to
look back historically at the Cold War era and all
the counter espionage measures and all the contemporary actions against
(15:18):
terrorist networks, policies approved, effective and mitigating Soviet infiltration, comprehensive
background checks, enhanced vetting procedures, coordinated in interagency intelligence sharing.
Maybe we ought to try those things again and then
start leveraging technological advances to track and disrupt communist party
(15:38):
aligne networks, kind of like dismantling the internationals terrorism financing
systems that we did post nine to eleven. That's what
they need to be doing. But let's go back to
the numbers. How about just finding through some sort of
the exhaustive investigation, Let's account for the number of Chinese
(15:59):
national who entered under Biden's watch, let's get rid the
real number. You know, four hundred thousand to a million,
that's a pretty widespread Don't you think we ought to
be able to determine? No, I'm always thinking ahead as
I'm talking. I was about to say, don't you think
we ought to be able to determine the number of
Chinese nationals have entered this country illegally? I would say yes,
(16:25):
except if you believe what the Pentagon is telling us,
then oh no, no, no, these drones there's nothing to see here.
Then you have to come to the conclusion that, well,
maybe we can and we cannot. Public awareness, public cynicism,
telling us the truth is all something that Trump's going
(16:49):
to have to do. Do I care about the JFK files, Yeah,
I'm interested in that. Do I care about all the
other classified stuff, Yeah? I care about that, for the
Epstein List, the Black Book, Yeah I care about that.
But I care about this stuff more because the steaks
are a lot higher now for us domestically, those other
(17:10):
things are important, but the steaks here are really high
in terms of national security.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Like this parting all started with the damn turkeys. They'll
just keep doing it until he's dead or out office.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Seriously, we pardon the Turkish people for what?
Speaker 5 (17:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
What the poor Turkish people do? It's because they're too
damned delicious. Oh, I've never had Turkish people. I've never
I've never eaten a Turk. It's very rare.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
People typically only do it one day a year.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Really, huh, So where do we get the Turks? Do
we like bring them through Ellis Island or what?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We import them? Oh okay, all right, like the slave
ships or something, and then we just crawl them into
a to a lot somewhere and just like bringing her
next or what.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Pretty much we don't want to talk about it though. Oh,
it's one of those things we shouldn't talk about exactly.
Here's something else we probably shouldn't talk about, old people.
I saw a picture of Mitch McConnell. What led me
down this stupid path was the announcement yesterday that Corey Gardner,
(18:23):
former US Senator from Colorado, has been named the CEO,
if you will, of the National Senatorial Campaign Committee. They've
got a offshoot which is a fundraising arm and John Thune,
who's the new Senate majority leader, who pretty much controls
all of that apparatus. They've reached out to Corey and
(18:44):
made him the CEO of this group that does all
the fundraising, which is probably a good move because he's
actually pretty good at that. And we have an election
coming up that involves how to do to John Hickenlooper
is our junior US senator, so it might be a
way that we can and start trying to get rid
of Hickenlooper, who, by the way, is going to be
an old fart, just like I'm going to talk about
(19:06):
Mitch McConnell and probably ought to go home. I hope,
And don't you say a word back there.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I hope. I know when it's time for me to
go home. But I don't fall. I can maintain my balance.
I'm at a healthy weight. I can do a lot
of physical things, a lot of physical things, if you
know what I mean. I can do all I mean.
I do not feel my age whatsoever. But there really
(19:33):
does come a point where you just say, wait a minute,
enough is enough. This picture of McConnell, he is being
first of all, he fell because I forget what it
was yesterday or day before, but he fell and he
hurt his wrist. And John Brasso, the other senator from Percy,
from Nebraska, Wyoming, I forget where he's from. Brasso once again,
(19:57):
who's a doctor, was there to help getting up And
apparently the news is now breaking that kind of like
alah fdr that Mitch McConnell uses a wheelchair all the
time but tries to avoid having his photo taken in
a wheelchair. The picture that I saw from yesterday is
(20:20):
an aide who is McConnell has his He's the aid
has his fist and elbow at a ninety degree angle,
and you can tell he's holding it pretty stiffly because
McConnell has his hands on his forearm and is being
led down a Senate hallway and he's leaning and kind
of shuffling along. He has what appears to be a
(20:42):
scar or a stitch on his left cheek. He's got
a horrible bruise on his chin. He looks like feces.
I mean, he just looks like feces. Well, he technically
still holds the office Senate Minority Leader. He's already seated
(21:03):
power to John Thune, who was elected the Senate soon
to be the Senate Majority leader. And we'll take that
position officially in January, when the Senate reconvenes under the
new Senate Well, the image went viral, particularly among MAGA
groups after Trump loyalists were provoked by a new interview
(21:26):
in which McConnell attacked the America First Movement. Now, go away,
you you don't know, you know, this shows how it's
It's worse than fentanyl, coke, diet coke, its cigarettes, tobacco, nicotine,
(21:48):
it's more. Power in DC is probably the most powerful
substance on the face of the earth. And these people
would rather die than well, I mean, look at oh this,
how quickly we forget the senator from California, not Barbara Boxer,
(22:10):
the other one who literally just have to be wheeled
around told what to do. The word in DC is
that McConnell still commands deference in the Senate, and that
could be a real threat to Trump's foreign policy agenda.
(22:32):
And I think that's what mcconnald's trying to signal. But
I think health is his greater challenge. As I said,
he fell in the Capitol. He suffered minor injuries to
his wrist, in his face, and photographers showed or photographs
showed significant bruising. Now Remember, he's also the guy that
(22:54):
had a concussion and that had those at mal seizures.
Those Oh there's another name for them. I can't think
of what it is. But where he just the brain
just freezes. So while at eighty two he stepped down
from the post, he's he is intentionally maneuvering into another
(23:19):
key position. He's going to chair the incoming Senate Appropriation's
Subcommittee for Defense spending, and he's going to chair the
Senate Rules Committee. If I were John Thune, I would
be going to him and saying, look, with all due respect, senator,
you have you've served your country. You're in poor health.
(23:41):
Step aside. Now he says he's not going to run again,
but we got to wait till next year for that.
In the meantime, in the first most crucial year of
Trump's presidency, this guy's going to control the Defense Subcommittee,
on the Appropriations Committee and the Rules Committee. In fact,
he boasted to the Financial Times, the pink newspaper, that's
(24:04):
where the real money is. Oh, so you want to
try to obstruct or influence Trump's forum policy by controlling
the money, by controlling the purse strings. This is a
real sickness in our society. A senior Republican aid in
(24:26):
the Senate shared these sentiments, making careful note of McConnell's
moves over the last several weeks, saying that McConnell has
spent his first month of post leader life publicly opposing
Trump's America First Forum policy, working against his nominees behind
the scenes, and scolding Republicans that funding the war in
Ukraine should be their top priority. Well, now what does
(24:50):
that mean? Come January? There are glimmers of Senator Thun
adopting a less adversarial relationship with the incoming administration, but
it remains to be seen whether we'll see Senate GOP
leadership next year reflect the priorities of the voters who
put Trump back in the White House, and not only
(25:12):
put Trump back in the White House, but did by
winning the popular vote, winning more electoral votes since Ronald Reagan,
and basically saying to the entire country or the country
saying to the incoming administration, we want serious change, we
want dramatic change, we want radical change. So here's here's
(25:35):
McConnell being once again an octagenarian. Maybe it's not truly
an octagenarian yet, whatever, eighty two year old would be
called who's in ill health? Who has, through his wife
Lane Chan, that I actually know quite well, has really
serious ties to the Chinese Communist Party. So go back
(25:56):
to the last segment, is is Mitch Connor really serving
the interests of the United States and Americans or is
he really serving the interests of the Chinese Communist Party.
I mean, it sounds like we're moving into a McCarthy
era again, But those are legitimate. I think those are
truly legitimate questions. Because I'm short on time, I'm going
(26:17):
to move something else real quickly. So, Alexa, I had
heard this story yesterday that Crystal mangans that bring about anybody.
Crystal mangan is the woman that brought forth what twenty
years ago, I forget how long ago it was that
made these false allegations against those lacrosse players at Duke
(26:42):
that apparently they were you know, they they had raped
her in a gang rape, They done all these horrible things.
And she comes out and she makes a new statement
that basically says, hey, I just lied about everything. Now
that's the story. But I don't think that's the story
where you ought to pay attention to.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
And I testified falsely against them by saying that they
raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong. And
I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people
who believed in me and made up a story that
(27:26):
wasn't true because I wanted a validation from people.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
And not from God.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
And that was wrong. And I hope that they can forgive.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Me, forgive you. Now. That's the big story is that, Oh,
that case was based on her life, and that was
probably the beginning, as one person said on x that
that was the beginning of accepting false sexual allegations against
men from women because we have to believe the women, right,
(27:57):
believe the women. I think missus the biggest story, and
that is I think it's the beginning of prosecutors not
doing their job, of prosecutors going after their own self aggrandizement,
their own self promotion, and not doing the really hard,
gum shoe investigative work to seek justice. Where is the
(28:23):
criticism of the prosecutor in that case for not doing
the job and getting to the heart of the matter
and realizing that he was relying solely on one individual
to testify falsely against these these lacrosse players. That's the
bigger story, and that story is about the prosecutions in
(28:45):
this country are coming into question. Look at Alvin Bragg,
look at the Daniel Penny case, look at the Trump cases,
look at the J six defendant cases, and then go
all the way back eighteen years to the cost to
the cross players, and start asking yourself how many das
(29:05):
out there are really seeking justice? Which means that sometimes
you get something that brought that's brought to you that
if there ought to be something in your gut that
says this is just not quite right. Not everything's adding up.
Let's investigate this further before we actually start a prosecution,
and how much that has but blossomed and blown up
(29:28):
over the past twenty years. That's the story. I love
Freddy from South Dakota. Everyone has a great day. Oh
come on, that's the best you can do. Don't look
at me.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I just play them.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't leave them. Was that the only one you
had quickly enough? Yeah? Okay, all right. This is really
more of a tease for tomorrow's nationally syndicated program than
it is for today night. I don't want to leave
today without you thinking that I'm not aware of this,
And that is the Inspector General from the Department of
Justice released a new report yesterday and guess what we
(30:11):
find out. Yes, the FBI had twenty six, ten, ten,
and six twenty six confidential human sources you might call
them informants that were president Washington, DC on January sixth,
(30:32):
twenty twenty one. Now, the FBI is claiming that there
was no direct employees of the agency that were at
the ellipse or on the mall, or on the Capitol
grounds during the events that day. Well, why would you
need to have actual FBI agents? Why would you need
Feds on the ground when you had twenty six confidential informants.
(30:53):
Of the twenty six, the IG's report says that three
were reportedly tasked with monitoring domestic terrorism subjects who were
expected to attend the rally. It's an eighty eight page
document was released yesterday. The sources in question were reportedly
authorized to observe activities of interest but prohibited from entering
(31:15):
restricted areas. But according to the report, seventeen such sources
are sixty five percent of those informants actually entered restricted areas.
Now none have been charged. But if Grandma entered the
restricted area or walked into the Capitol building, didn't touch
(31:38):
or do anything, but I guess she touched the floor.
She touched the marble on the floor and on the steps,
and walked in and walked down. She was charged and
she's in prison. But the informants who violated the same law.
And by the way, these are not law enforcement officers.
These are informants. These are paid civilians to go spy,
(32:02):
and they committed the same crime. At least at least
sixty five percent of them did, as did those Jay sixers.
So President Trump, what's you gonna do about that? What
you're gonna do? I mean, if yesterday Biden issues a
record number of commutations and pardons, and he's got more
(32:22):
to come, I think it's time. Other than those who
beat up cops, struck the cops, broke the window, stole
a podium or electron, I think it's time for pardons
for them too. It's Friday, So what are we gonna
do next?
Finally, I live in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'll tell you what I took Uncle Jill, who applies,
no damn drones came here in my house.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I parently go off orange shots, you.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Know, with some sure for my tage, I mean, and
next time they turn back, I'm not fuling around.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That was hard to understand. Dragon. Did he say that
he has taken shots at them?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I think the whole thing was meant to be funny,
But yes, he said, I took Uncle Joe's advice.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And then he said, next time he's gonna use an
RPG zuka. Yes, okay, there you go, be sure and
let us know how that works out for you. Like
I said, I'd do it too, But I also but
I understand the consequences if I do it. Uh, I
want to. I want to now finish my point about
the drones. But go back to the Chinese spies, because
(00:55):
overall we're dealing with the new access of the evil,
and the new axis of evil is three, if not
four countries, but they're they're one of them so intertwined
that't kind of counts as one. And that axis of
evil is now the Russians, the Iranians plus all of
(01:21):
their proxies. And then for the third I would say,
you could make it into three or four, but it's
really the Chinese Communist Party and it's proxy North Korea,
and you could separate out China and North Korea and
make North Korea a separate part of the Axis of evil.
(01:41):
Because little rocket Man, little fat Rocketman may or may
not be wholly dependent upon the Chinese Communist Party, certainly
a puppet of them, but tends to be radical enough.
He's often operates on his own. Goober number makes hang
(02:05):
on to saying Goober number nine zero six zero, for example,
to emphasize the point I made at the end of
the last hour. I've worked in aviation four over thirty years,
and I called b Yes, if these are drones, the
FAA already has authority. Yes, that's my point. They already
have this bull crap about well, we need some additional
(02:27):
congressional authorities. No, you do not, d od DHS and
the FAA already have all the authorities that they need.
The New York Tracon Traffic Control Area controls everything in
that area. They know what this is and they're not
telling us. Well, let's go to the tape, because I
(02:52):
think the tape kind of speaks for itself. This is
the spokesperson for the Pentagon. Listen to this bull crap.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Representative Jeff Andrew, who is a Republican from New Jersey,
was just on the air saying that Iraan launched a
mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drugs,
and that that mothership is off the coast of the
East coast of the United States. Is there any truth
to that?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
There is not any truth to that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, okay, all right now, I understand that in these
press conferences there is a limited amount of time, and
each this happens to be Oh, what's your name? The
national security correspondent for Fox News, Jennifer Griffin, and she's
(03:47):
related what the congressman said about the mothership. I just
love using the phrase the mothership. And the spokesperson listened closely.
What does she say the.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
East coast of the United States? Is there any truth
to that?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Is there any truth to what the congressman said about
this mothership and the Iranians launching these from a ship
or a mothership off the East coast.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
There is not any truth to that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, There's not any truth to that. How do you
know how did you find out? What did you do?
You know? One of my favorite phrases, or about the
five ws who want where?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Men?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And why? Tell us the five ws? About how you
know that? There is no truth to this?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the
United States, and there's no so called mothership launching drones
towards the United States.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, then I'll tell you what, sweetheart, Why don't you
tell us why? Now we know that the Iranians have
bought drones from the Chinese, and we know that the
Chinese have advanced drone technology. The Chinese Communist Party has
(05:05):
way too much advanced technology, some of which has been
stolen from US F thirty five technology, for example, just
as one simple example. And we allow it to happen,
and we allow it to happen because for whatever reason,
we are absolutely seem to be spineless and incapable of
(05:32):
doing anything when involves the Chinese. Now, an easy answer
to that is because Joe Biden and his entire family
are corrupt and beholden to the Chinese Communist Party. That's
an easy answer, and it's a truthful answer, but it's
an easy answer. There's a much more complex answer, and
(05:53):
that answer is I think we're afraid of them, and
I think that we still we believe somehow that we
are still And don't get me wrong, I still think
we have the greatest fighting force in the world. But
do we do we really do we have for the warriors,
for the people who are actually going to put their
(06:15):
lives on the line. Do we have the best technology,
Do we have the best equipment, Do we have the
best everything? And are we spending our money appropriately to
advance those technologies so that we win the arms race
if you want to call it that, between ourselves and
Russia and the Chinese? Do we Now let's go back
(06:37):
to the Chinese nationals that are in this country, because
I fully believe that we do have these terracotta soldiers
in the country that are here for a nefarious purpose.
Why would you send Now, Remember, the numbers were anywhere
(06:59):
from four hundred thousand to over a million individuals. Those
are the estimates from security border security experts, experts and
reports that are highlight of agencies like customs and border protection.
So it's just not me pulling a number out of
my butt. These are reported numbers that you can find
(07:20):
in public available sources. So let's just take the lower number,
four hundred that let's be conservative here. There are four
hundred thousand Chinese communist operaties in this country. You think
that they're not here, to think about, suddenly they're here.
(07:41):
I shouldn't say suddenly. Over time they are here. And
suddenly the Chinese send and sell drone technology to the Iranians.
And we've got spy balloons that this president lets float
across the Illusion Islands all the way through Alaska, through Canada,
(08:02):
across Big Sky Country in Montana, where you could have
shot it down. Well, you could have shot it down
when it was first detected as it was approaching Alaska.
You could have shot it down. And you know, it
sucks to be a you know, a grizzly bear, but whatever,
and or you could have done it over a big
Sky country. The likelihood do we panic now? Think about?
(08:24):
You know how many asteroids are approaching the Earth right now.
They could obliterate the entire planet. Do we sit here
and worry and wring our hands about it? No, because
we know the likelihood of it really doing damages is remote? Now,
is there a chance? Yeah, but it's remote. So we
don't worry about it, but we're scared to shoot down
a balloon. If we're scared to shoot down a balloon,
(08:48):
then it stands to reason that you're also scared to
tell us the truth about the drones. The other factor
that really bugs me is that the Chinese Communist Party
has a real penchant for exploiting our weaknesses. So excuse me, if,
(09:11):
if anything we used to worry about in homeland security,
about people that would test us, they had no immediate
intent of causing harm. Excuse me, I can't get this,
I can't get this bug out of my throat. We
(09:31):
would worry about again, a clean skin, somebody without any
criminal record or without any known ties to foreign entities
or to foreign or terrorist organizations, but nonetheless are hired
to go probe test, kind of try to penetrate and
see where our weaknesses are, see how far they can get. Now,
(09:53):
if you've got four hundred thousand, the lower number of
Chinese Communist operatives in this this country who really don't
care if I mean, I'm sure they care on a
personal level, but as a group, they really don't care
if they end up going to jail or getting killed
or murdered or shot at or whatever, because well they're
(10:14):
communists and that's just nobody in communism cares about life.
So they're going to go penetrate and see what they
can do. Don't you find any nexus between the number
of Chinese here the sale of drone technology to the Iranians?
And then suddenly we're getting probed tested and we're being
told that we know for sure. The Pentagon spokesman says,
(10:38):
we know these are not foreign adversaries. How O table
then explain to us how you know that the mass
migration of all these Chinese nationals is absolutely consistent with
their broader strategy of infiltrating and destabilizing. Revelations from Alahambra,
(11:01):
California deepened those suspicions. A US Navy recruitment office that
was staffed entirely by Chinese individuals speaking exclusively in Mandarin
was brought to light through a video recorded by a
Chinese language youtubert. How did we get in Alahambra? How
(11:26):
do we get a Navy recruitment office staffed entirely by
Chinese individuals speaking exclusively in Mandarin? Are we some kind
of stupid or what? The recruiter in question promptly listed
as we chat id we Chat is a messaging service
that is used primarily by Asians, by Chinese because it's
(11:52):
under CCP control. That was his primary contact. Now you
think about data security allegiance oversight, do you now wonder
how many? I mean, next time you see at Navy
recruitment office, maybe you ought to go in and just hey,
anybody here speak English? Find out just go look. Oh, Michael,
(12:15):
that would be racist. I don't give a ratsass about racist.
I give a rats ass about national security. And if
I've got a Navy recruitment office that is staffed entirely
by Mandarin only speaking Chinese nationals, I got a problem.
And am I outrageous? No, I'm not outrageous. I'm an American.
I'm concerned about the security of this country. Now there's
(12:40):
another video featuring Staff Sergeant Max zang Zhang, who openly
declared that he would desert the military if the United
States were to go to war with China. Now that
candidate mission kind of personify exemplifies the potential risk of
a divided loyalty among these recruits in a geopolitical crisis.
(13:02):
Could those individuals be liabilities or could they be even
worse than that, actual terra cotta soldiers willing to break
out of their little contained you know, paper mache and suddenly, oh,
pick up arms and start fragging their own soldiers or
(13:25):
American citizens. Seems kind of far fetched, doesn't until you
realize that this is the real world that we now
live in. Let's just pause for a moment and think
about trade relations between the United States and China. China
(13:45):
needs us more than we need them. Their economy sucks
right now, and Xijing Ping is in horrible position as
the ruler for life. He wants to be the next mouse.
He tone that's a little right now, so he needs
us more than we need them. But at the same time,
(14:08):
if he seeks to become the world's singular superpower, why
wouldn't you put all of this stuff in place so
that if at any point there is a tipping point,
he's ready either way, either ready to move on with
new trade agreements and back off a little bit, or
if he's got to go to war with us, he'll
(14:29):
go to war with us. And this isn't like some
new thing that I just dreamed up. Sylvia espionage during
the Cold War Japanese internment during World War Two. All
highlight the dangers of underestimating, which we seem to do
for some reason, for an influence in this country. You know,
(14:54):
when I talk about it's becoming dumb, fat and happy,
this is a kind of dumb, fat and happy. This
is really dangerous to us. So Trump and his team
are going to have to confront this emerging threat with
a real sense of urgency. They're going to have to
look back historically at the Cold War era and all
the counter espionage measures and all the contemporary actions against
(15:18):
terrorist networks, policies approved, effective and mitigating Soviet infiltration, comprehensive
background checks, enhanced vetting procedures, coordinated in interagency intelligence sharing.
Maybe we ought to try those things again and then
start leveraging technological advances to track and disrupt communist party
(15:38):
aligne networks, kind of like dismantling the internationals terrorism financing
systems that we did post nine to eleven. That's what
they need to be doing. But let's go back to
the numbers. How about just finding through some sort of
the exhaustive investigation, Let's account for the number of Chinese
(15:59):
national who entered under Biden's watch, let's get rid the
real number. You know, four hundred thousand to a million,
that's a pretty widespread Don't you think we ought to
be able to determine? No, I'm always thinking ahead as
I'm talking. I was about to say, don't you think
we ought to be able to determine the number of
Chinese nationals have entered this country illegally? I would say yes,
(16:25):
except if you believe what the Pentagon is telling us,
then oh no, no, no, these drones there's nothing to see here.
Then you have to come to the conclusion that, well,
maybe we can and we cannot. Public awareness, public cynicism,
telling us the truth is all something that Trump's going
(16:49):
to have to do. Do I care about the JFK files, Yeah,
I'm interested in that. Do I care about all the
other classified stuff, Yeah? I care about that, for the
Epstein List, the Black Book, Yeah I care about that.
But I care about this stuff more because the steaks
are a lot higher now for us domestically, those other
(17:10):
things are important, but the steaks here are really high
in terms of national security.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Like this parting all started with the damn turkeys. They'll
just keep doing it until he's dead or out office.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Seriously, we pardon the Turkish people for what?
Speaker 5 (17:33):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
What the poor Turkish people do? It's because they're too
damned delicious. Oh, I've never had Turkish people. I've never
I've never eaten a Turk. It's very rare.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
People typically only do it one day a year.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Really, huh, So where do we get the Turks? Do
we like bring them through Ellis Island or what?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We import them? Oh okay, all right, like the slave
ships or something, and then we just crawl them into
a to a lot somewhere and just like bringing her
next or what.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Pretty much we don't want to talk about it though. Oh,
it's one of those things we shouldn't talk about exactly.
Here's something else we probably shouldn't talk about, old people.
I saw a picture of Mitch McConnell. What led me
down this stupid path was the announcement yesterday that Corey Gardner,
(18:23):
former US Senator from Colorado, has been named the CEO,
if you will, of the National Senatorial Campaign Committee. They've
got a offshoot which is a fundraising arm and John Thune,
who's the new Senate majority leader, who pretty much controls
all of that apparatus. They've reached out to Corey and
(18:44):
made him the CEO of this group that does all
the fundraising, which is probably a good move because he's
actually pretty good at that. And we have an election
coming up that involves how to do to John Hickenlooper
is our junior US senator, so it might be a
way that we can and start trying to get rid
of Hickenlooper, who, by the way, is going to be
an old fart, just like I'm going to talk about
(19:06):
Mitch McConnell and probably ought to go home. I hope,
And don't you say a word back there.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I hope. I know when it's time for me to
go home. But I don't fall. I can maintain my balance.
I'm at a healthy weight. I can do a lot
of physical things, a lot of physical things, if you
know what I mean. I can do all I mean.
I do not feel my age whatsoever. But there really
(19:33):
does come a point where you just say, wait a minute,
enough is enough. This picture of McConnell, he is being
first of all, he fell because I forget what it
was yesterday or day before, but he fell and he
hurt his wrist. And John Brasso, the other senator from Percy,
from Nebraska, Wyoming, I forget where he's from. Brasso once again,
(19:57):
who's a doctor, was there to help getting up And
apparently the news is now breaking that kind of like
alah fdr that Mitch McConnell uses a wheelchair all the
time but tries to avoid having his photo taken in
a wheelchair. The picture that I saw from yesterday is
(20:20):
an aide who is McConnell has his He's the aid
has his fist and elbow at a ninety degree angle,
and you can tell he's holding it pretty stiffly because
McConnell has his hands on his forearm and is being
led down a Senate hallway and he's leaning and kind
of shuffling along. He has what appears to be a
(20:42):
scar or a stitch on his left cheek. He's got
a horrible bruise on his chin. He looks like feces.
I mean, he just looks like feces. Well, he technically
still holds the office Senate Minority Leader. He's already seated
(21:03):
power to John Thune, who was elected the Senate soon
to be the Senate Majority leader. And we'll take that
position officially in January, when the Senate reconvenes under the
new Senate Well, the image went viral, particularly among MAGA
groups after Trump loyalists were provoked by a new interview
(21:26):
in which McConnell attacked the America First Movement. Now, go away,
you you don't know, you know, this shows how it's
It's worse than fentanyl, coke, diet coke, its cigarettes, tobacco, nicotine,
(21:48):
it's more. Power in DC is probably the most powerful
substance on the face of the earth. And these people
would rather die than well, I mean, look at oh this,
how quickly we forget the senator from California, not Barbara Boxer,
(22:10):
the other one who literally just have to be wheeled
around told what to do. The word in DC is
that McConnell still commands deference in the Senate, and that
could be a real threat to Trump's foreign policy agenda.
(22:32):
And I think that's what mcconnald's trying to signal. But
I think health is his greater challenge. As I said,
he fell in the Capitol. He suffered minor injuries to
his wrist, in his face, and photographers showed or photographs
showed significant bruising. Now Remember, he's also the guy that
(22:54):
had a concussion and that had those at mal seizures.
Those Oh there's another name for them. I can't think
of what it is. But where he just the brain
just freezes. So while at eighty two he stepped down
from the post, he's he is intentionally maneuvering into another
(23:19):
key position. He's going to chair the incoming Senate Appropriation's
Subcommittee for Defense spending, and he's going to chair the
Senate Rules Committee. If I were John Thune, I would
be going to him and saying, look, with all due respect, senator,
you have you've served your country. You're in poor health.
(23:41):
Step aside. Now he says he's not going to run again,
but we got to wait till next year for that.
In the meantime, in the first most crucial year of
Trump's presidency, this guy's going to control the Defense Subcommittee,
on the Appropriations Committee and the Rules Committee. In fact,
he boasted to the Financial Times, the pink newspaper, that's
(24:04):
where the real money is. Oh, so you want to
try to obstruct or influence Trump's forum policy by controlling
the money, by controlling the purse strings. This is a
real sickness in our society. A senior Republican aid in
(24:26):
the Senate shared these sentiments, making careful note of McConnell's
moves over the last several weeks, saying that McConnell has
spent his first month of post leader life publicly opposing
Trump's America First Forum policy, working against his nominees behind
the scenes, and scolding Republicans that funding the war in
Ukraine should be their top priority. Well, now what does
(24:50):
that mean? Come January? There are glimmers of Senator Thun
adopting a less adversarial relationship with the incoming administration, but
it remains to be seen whether we'll see Senate GOP
leadership next year reflect the priorities of the voters who
put Trump back in the White House, and not only
(25:12):
put Trump back in the White House, but did by
winning the popular vote, winning more electoral votes since Ronald Reagan,
and basically saying to the entire country or the country
saying to the incoming administration, we want serious change, we
want dramatic change, we want radical change. So here's here's
(25:35):
McConnell being once again an octagenarian. Maybe it's not truly
an octagenarian yet, whatever, eighty two year old would be
called who's in ill health? Who has, through his wife
Lane Chan, that I actually know quite well, has really
serious ties to the Chinese Communist Party. So go back
(25:56):
to the last segment, is is Mitch Connor really serving
the interests of the United States and Americans or is
he really serving the interests of the Chinese Communist Party.
I mean, it sounds like we're moving into a McCarthy
era again, But those are legitimate. I think those are
truly legitimate questions. Because I'm short on time, I'm going
(26:17):
to move something else real quickly. So, Alexa, I had
heard this story yesterday that Crystal mangans that bring about anybody.
Crystal mangan is the woman that brought forth what twenty
years ago, I forget how long ago it was that
made these false allegations against those lacrosse players at Duke
(26:42):
that apparently they were you know, they they had raped
her in a gang rape, They done all these horrible things.
And she comes out and she makes a new statement
that basically says, hey, I just lied about everything. Now
that's the story. But I don't think that's the story
where you ought to pay attention to.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
And I testified falsely against them by saying that they
raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong. And
I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people
who believed in me and made up a story that
(27:26):
wasn't true because I wanted a validation from people.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
And not from God.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
And that was wrong. And I hope that they can forgive.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Me, forgive you. Now. That's the big story is that, Oh,
that case was based on her life, and that was
probably the beginning, as one person said on x that
that was the beginning of accepting false sexual allegations against
men from women because we have to believe the women, right,
(27:57):
believe the women. I think missus the biggest story, and
that is I think it's the beginning of prosecutors not
doing their job, of prosecutors going after their own self aggrandizement,
their own self promotion, and not doing the really hard,
gum shoe investigative work to seek justice. Where is the
(28:23):
criticism of the prosecutor in that case for not doing
the job and getting to the heart of the matter
and realizing that he was relying solely on one individual
to testify falsely against these these lacrosse players. That's the
bigger story, and that story is about the prosecutions in
(28:45):
this country are coming into question. Look at Alvin Bragg,
look at the Daniel Penny case, look at the Trump cases,
look at the J six defendant cases, and then go
all the way back eighteen years to the cost to
the cross players, and start asking yourself how many das
(29:05):
out there are really seeking justice? Which means that sometimes
you get something that brought that's brought to you that
if there ought to be something in your gut that
says this is just not quite right. Not everything's adding up.
Let's investigate this further before we actually start a prosecution,
and how much that has but blossomed and blown up
(29:28):
over the past twenty years. That's the story. I love
Freddy from South Dakota. Everyone has a great day. Oh
come on, that's the best you can do. Don't look
at me.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
I just play them.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I don't leave them. Was that the only one you
had quickly enough? Yeah? Okay, all right. This is really
more of a tease for tomorrow's nationally syndicated program than
it is for today night. I don't want to leave
today without you thinking that I'm not aware of this,
And that is the Inspector General from the Department of
Justice released a new report yesterday and guess what we
(30:11):
find out. Yes, the FBI had twenty six, ten, ten,
and six twenty six confidential human sources you might call
them informants that were president Washington, DC on January sixth,
(30:32):
twenty twenty one. Now, the FBI is claiming that there
was no direct employees of the agency that were at
the ellipse or on the mall, or on the Capitol
grounds during the events that day. Well, why would you
need to have actual FBI agents? Why would you need
Feds on the ground when you had twenty six confidential informants.
(30:53):
Of the twenty six, the IG's report says that three
were reportedly tasked with monitoring domestic terrorism subjects who were
expected to attend the rally. It's an eighty eight page
document was released yesterday. The sources in question were reportedly
authorized to observe activities of interest but prohibited from entering
(31:15):
restricted areas. But according to the report, seventeen such sources
are sixty five percent of those informants actually entered restricted areas.
Now none have been charged. But if Grandma entered the
restricted area or walked into the Capitol building, didn't touch
(31:38):
or do anything, but I guess she touched the floor.
She touched the marble on the floor and on the steps,
and walked in and walked down. She was charged and
she's in prison. But the informants who violated the same law.
And by the way, these are not law enforcement officers.
These are informants. These are paid civilians to go spy,
(32:02):
and they committed the same crime. At least at least
sixty five percent of them did, as did those Jay sixers.
So President Trump, what's you gonna do about that? What
you're gonna do? I mean, if yesterday Biden issues a
record number of commutations and pardons, and he's got more
(32:22):
to come, I think it's time. Other than those who
beat up cops, struck the cops, broke the window, stole
a podium or electron, I think it's time for pardons
for them too. It's Friday, So what are we gonna
do next?
