Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, I'm you happy people.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And Neil Smith and old Buck Buddy. Are you hearing Neil, Neil?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I miss you, Man Junnies, I have a question. We
respect for me down by.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We're breaking a major story, Chris, congratulations, a Single Scour podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
We are remembering the tragedy of nine to eleven, twenty
four years later, as radicalized Islamic fundamentalist terrorists killed three
thousand of our fellow citizens. And we're also acknowledging today
that the United States of America remains under attack from
terrorists as Charlie Kirk has been assassinated while doing what
(01:06):
he did. He didn't use weapons. He used words to debate,
and that I believe the left wing has declared the
debate to be over. And as we've seen from left
wing entities throughout human history, when they decide that the
debate is over, they undertake violence to shut up their opposition.
This isn't anything new for the American left. This isn't
(01:29):
anything new for left wingers worldwide. He seemed to recall
Abraham Lincoln defeating left wingers Democrats. They took that rather personally.
As it turns out, let's talk about it all with
the National Security brothers retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaeffer, NEWSMAX contributor,
President of Project Sentinel, and Brigadier General Blain Holt, NEWSMAX contributor,
(01:53):
Air Force veteran C seventeen commander, tech entrepreneur and co
founder of Restore Liberty. Gentlemen, thank you very much for
your service, and thank you for being here on a
very solemn day.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Let's start here with you general, your reflections on the
assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You know, God took home one of his angels yesterday.
Charlie was a phenomenally gifted man. At thirty one years
of age, the same age as my oldest son, he
engaged in all of these campuses where freedom of speech
and debate is how our kids are supposed to learn.
(02:35):
And he so graciously opened himself up to any question,
any debate, any place. And he really became a patriot.
But because he became a patriot, and because of his
logic and his words, and his knowledge of history, his
command of the Constitution are founding documents, and his unwavering faith,
(02:58):
he became a huge threat to the Marxists. I don't
give them the honor of being called liberals or Democrats
or progressives. They are Marxists. Marxists turn to violence, And
where I'm very concerned is I'm praying for this family.
(03:19):
But what I'm very concerned is this is a beginning,
not an end. They are normalizing political violence and what
we have to do now, and it's long overdue, and
maybe this is a sting for the administration, I honestly
just don't care. We've got to get into the season
of accountability. If we don't hold people to account right
now in this nation for their crimes at the very
(03:42):
highest levels, there will be no deterrent to this type
of violence.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Colonel, I've been saying that America is at war with leftists,
and I don't see any other way to look at it.
They tried shooting our president, They've tried law fair, they
tried dominating of the press to silence our voices. And
when none of that worked, when we just wouldn't stop
fighting for our rights and wouldn't give up our rights,
(04:09):
now they are literally killing us your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So, I think the Democrats have sought for at least
two cycles, probably going back three now because I think
Obama is part of it. A civil war, a hot
civil you know, I often refer to them, refer to
the fact that they started the Civil war. They were
the party of Jim Crow and and the KKK and
(04:38):
the Confederacy and Jefferson Davis and that DNA exists. And
it's kind of coming back to the forefront. And so
to Blaine's point, we have to be aware of the
fact that they want us to overplay our hand, to
do things that will give them the advantage, and we
can't do that. What we have to do is be
(05:00):
very clear on holding them accountable, which we haven't done yet.
I think people were very void when Pam Bondi was
picked to be the Attorney General, and some of us
are like saying, okay, when does the accountability start. And
it has to be people we know by name, a
(05:23):
lot of senior leaders who have been engaged in not
only bellicos and violent rhetoric, but we believe other things
that have to be a hell accountable. You cannot have
this lingering and the idea that you have a two
or three tier justice system where if you're a Democrat
you do something violent, you're given four and five fifth.
(05:44):
You know, fourteen times or you're caught lead literally in
the act of sedition and it's okay, we can't have this.
So I'd like to believe now thecoursed earth that President
Trump's going to go, is going to know what's either
Pambondi or someone new and do the very thing that
has to be done is create conditions or sustainable accountability
(06:08):
and has start now.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, that is the catch twenty two to a degree. Anyway, general,
we find ourselves in there is the John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell,
Lisa Murkowski approach, which is to surrender our people to
these Marxists, to these leftists, and give up the Constitution,
give up our rights, and surrender to a totalitarian government,
(06:33):
in which time we lose what it is to be America,
which seems to be you know that this approach from
the Surrender Caucus and the Republican Party. They've actually they
actually tried to kill Steve Scalise, a left wing nut
job Bernie Sanders supporter, actually tried to kill Steve Scalise.
And that wasn't enough of a wake up call. They've
(06:55):
tried to kill the president. They've killed Charlie Kirk, the
summer of love. Violence is escalating and escalating and escalating,
and every single time they're met with the likes of
John Corn and saying, well, that's unfortunate and we should
just move on. And there's Paul Ryan, we should just
move on. And then there's the other side of this
equation that says, well, we should be arming up, and
(07:18):
we should be meeting force with force. They shoot at us,
we should shoot at them. And then, of course that
civil war is that many are describing now plays right
into the hands of enemies and adversaries that would love
nothing better. And I'm not convinced have not been part
of this effort to divide Americans. As you know, China's
unrestricted warfare is very much geared toward this. That we
(07:41):
would be playing right into the hands of enemies and
adversaries that would like nothing better than our country to
be at each other's throats now, And you're a student
of war, navigating this is going to be very tough,
is it not?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It is? And I really like where you went with this.
This gets to what I've been saying saying about the swamp.
There is no isle, Chris, there's no isle. There's politicians
with interests. There's deep state, slimy bureaucrats, and behind it
all is money of one flavor or another, blackmail, extortion, bribery,
(08:17):
whatever the flavor of the day is. But even Lisa Murkowski,
she casts the deciding vote as a Republican that they
would not release the Epstein information. So here's the thing.
We the people could care less who's implicated. Republicans, Democrats.
We just need them rounded up because we understand it's
not just about the children. It's about all of the
(08:38):
influence in our country that goes from foreign powers, very
high foreign powers. But when you evaporate your rule of law,
and this gets to the warfare piece. You know, Von
Klauswitz said that, you know, war is just an extension
of politics by other means. Well, that couldn't be truer
than today. If you look what happened in the middle
(08:59):
of the week. We had that darling refugee girl butchered
because these people let judges get into these positions with
seemingly no checks and balances on them to keep recycling
criminals to terrorize and kill us. And in the middle
of the week, what everybody missed was what happened in Nepal. Well,
they shot down, they erased the economy of Nepal. The
(09:21):
maoists controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, and the students
were shot down for protesting it. Nineteen killed with social media,
banned social media, by the way, they didn't realize was
the gig economy that all these kids are paying for themselves. Well,
they had no rule of law and with no rule
of law, no way of getting redress which we have
(09:42):
in our constitution, they went and burned down the whole
one hundred and twenty two year old Parliament building, the
Prime Minister's building, President's building, the Hilton five star and
raised catman do. Now. The reason that's important is because
it's the contagion that you see spread across the world,
especially through Western civilization in Europe, France, England, Ireland. It's
(10:09):
happening because of the accountability missing, no rule of law,
no redress, and disrespective Western values and in Charlie Kirk's case,
Christian values which our documents are founded on.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Colonel to the General's point, where these leftists are asserting
themselves again, I believe to avoid the accountability you spoke
of in your first answer, you've got the Democrat Party
objecting in the House of Representatives to a prayer for
Charlie Kirk. You've got the European Parliament objecting to a
moment of silence to honor Charlie Kirk. You know, I'm
(10:48):
kind of reminded as we segue into our discussion about
nine to eleven, our enemy has been at war with us.
We've just not been at war with them. And when
you see the leftists in Europe and you see the
leftist in AMERICAKA, you get very much the sense that
this is a worldwide effort to take away what it
is to be American, Western civilization, freedom, liberty, God given rights,
(11:11):
your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So the problem is they live in an alternate universe
and the things you just listed out they will not
permit because it impinges on their view of the world.
Charlie Kirk is a hateful individual. That's their declarative conclusion.
And then other things he did, we do it essentially
(11:34):
deflates their bony, baloney world. We are constantly encroaching in
their world.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's their view.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They believe somehow that they're smarter than us, that they're
the ones chosen to be the higher functioning upper class
of society. Watch the Karens, watch the Darren's. They all
do this stuff and they are dangerous. It's a dangerous
mindset that goes along with a failed political philosophy. It's
(12:07):
a two firm And so Charlie again, Charlie Kirk, you said,
don't work. They're don't want to mold a moment of silence. No,
of course, he's stating to them, why would you do
why would you have a moment of state of this
to state so one of the things I recommendly do.
And you know, my friend Jim Woolsey does this and
blame's done this. You need to look at this through
the eyes of your adversary because to understand it through
(12:29):
their eyes you have to then gain an understanding of
how to defeat it because they they are not rational.
And yes, they've been affored us because we didn't understand it.
It's like, hey, we're just trying to make things better
for people. I'm proud of the fact that I'm a
member of the Party of Lincoln, that the DNA of
our party was anti slavery created in Wisconsin. Their party
(12:52):
is the trailer tears, just saying just say.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So, yeah, and Jim Crow. Don't forget Jim Crow.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yes, yes, yes, if our two parties are very different.
And no, there was no towitching of the parties. I
know the other party switched, though they did not, So
I think we have to recognize that they they they've
been because yes, rotten everything about their perception, their collective
(13:19):
shared perception of the world. And I said, Charlie Kirk,
God bless him, was constantly, you know, puncturing their little bubble,
and they did not permit it. He became a public
enemy number one.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
True gentlemen. I want to reintroduce you, and then I
want to talk about today's anniversary. We're marking the anniversary
of September the eleventh, two thousand and one. We're talking
to Brigadier General Blaine Holt Folks and retired Lieutenant Colonel
Tony Schaeffer, both News and Acts contributors, both both former
members of the military and trusted friends. General. I'm going
(13:54):
to stay with the colonel because I want him to
set up something that we have discussed before. And then
I want to get your reaction. Colonel Schaeffer, you have
been talking a lot recently and in the past about
what transpired in the American government leading up to nine
to eleven, what we knew and what wasn't allowed to
(14:15):
get out. I Tucker Carlson interview with a former congressman
brought this information back to the fore recently and where
we can mourn three thousand of our citizens that died
on that day, and we still do and respect them
(14:36):
and their families and lift them up as we as
we typically would as Americans. The scope of what the
American government knew was coming has yet to be realized
or exposed. And I just want to ask you to
what degree you are comfortable talking about it, because you were,
you were on the ground level of exposing all of this,
(15:00):
and you paid a dear price for it. To whatever
degree you want to let the audience know what actually transpired,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So there's a couple of things that are obvious that
I'll just restate as the foundation of our talk. First,
within twenty four hours, Chris, you'll recall this, we had
a full and complete list of all the hijackers and
their home addresses, like within twenty four hours. It was extraordinary.
It's like, Wow, that's really good intelligence work. How they
(15:33):
do that? Well? They did it because they knew who
these guys were. We knew who they were, and that's
the beginning of the problem. We had four knowledge of
the fact these knuckleheads were up to no good. So
then you have a whole whole string of questions that
we don't have time to go through this morning. Again,
I'm just setting kind of the stage for what we
(15:54):
have to look at regarding a nine to eleven accountability
of justice. So within the context of that then, so
if you take the premise then these guys were quickly
identify because they were go back and run. The tapes
with these guys were publicly acknowledged early on. How that happened, Well,
it happened because elements of our government were working against
(16:17):
other elements of our government, not all the government was
essentially looked at the other way. My team able Danger
was looking at how we could do a series of
black operations, two of which Chris still are beyond top
secret I can't talk about to this day, which we're
seeking now for the Secretary Defense for PDXT to release
(16:39):
release and allow us to talk about, which will change
the complexion of the attack by the way that it'll
put some things on the table that people probably figured
we could have done and didn't do well. I'll leave
it at that. But the bottom line is there were
elements like the DJ Jamie Gerrelik, who did a memo
which basically prohibit the sharing of information between intelligence law enforcement.
(17:00):
Why would you ever do that? There were indications that
the FBI. Catt and Harriet reported that the FBI allowed
Amwal Alaalachi to bring at least two who by the way,
Adam Warlaacki was an FBI asset who brought at least
two of the nine eleven hijackers into the United States,
sponsored them, moved them around, essentially help them get set up.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
These are just a few things.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
So if you start looking at the dangling participles that
have never been at touched, they never been touched. The
nine eleven Commission never touched any of this, you got
to wonder what did the nine to eleven Commission actually do?
And the bottom line is the nine to eleven Commission.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Was a cover.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Their job was to put a shellacking of nice looking
answers to this. It's kind of a save on a
wound and hope everybody would say, oh, it's tragic, it's terrible.
We could not to quote John Lehman, we could not
imagine terrorists doing this well, Chris, people imagined we were
trying to stop it. Why we were stopped from stopping
(18:01):
it is something that must be resolved.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Indeed, general, it indicates that there are lesser men and
women inside the US government that either knew or should
have known, and instead of coming clean so that these
kinds of things didn't plague us in the future, and
it ended up, I contend, plaguing us well to this day.
(18:24):
Instead of addressing those they covered their own rear ends
because they didn't want to sacrifice the faith the American
people had in the government. And ultimately, here we are
today and trust in the federal government, which is well earned,
is at record lows because of these very same kinds
of people, because of the lack of accountability. Where we
(18:45):
started this whole conversation, your thoughts and what the colonel
has been through, and by the way, the retaliation against
the colonel because he's technically a lieutenant colonel by rank
and should be should have been a colonel, but the
retaliation against him to shut him up for what he knew.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, this is horrific and it's a black spot in
history that we have to go return to no matter what.
And it does run the accountability theme as well. It's
the same as Israel must go back to October seventh
and figure out why that happened. The big thing here
is is we have enough indicators that we can get
(19:22):
on our own outside of classified information to understand that
the stories we were fed were not quite right, and
that it's twenty four years later and we're not allowed
to know all the information why because it doesn't look
like it's anything other than wicked people in our government
covering it up for some nefarious reason, with very high
ranking and powerful people who probably should have been held
(19:45):
to account right away. But let's look at the damage.
The damage of course, three thousand Americans dead instantly, the
damage of the Pentagon. But then, and here's another troubling thing,
and I know that Kurt Weldon talks about this, is
they had that patri ready to go pretty damn quick.
I've never seen legislation get fired off so quickly. And
what did we do. We had a problem. We reacted
(20:08):
with fear, and they took away our rights and we said, okay,
A dear friend of mine, Bob Barr, tried to fight
that in Congress, couldn't get it done. And now we're
on this slippery slope to where creepy guys like Alex
Carpet Pallanteer want to complete the deal and take us
to a surveillance state. Nobody's trusting this government right now
because they won't open up and tell us truth. Now,
(20:28):
let's look at the damage done to our armed forces.
We weaken ourselves over time. We go to two massive
wars with invasion occupation forces. I argued vociferously as a major,
a young planner, why are we going to put an
invasion force down? We can get this done from air
powers aspect. What we see emerge is a trillion dollar
(20:50):
war industry. No talk about going to victory, no talk
about cessation of conflict or that you've met your military means.
And now here we are endless cycle of endless war,
endless military industrial base, a Congress that's complicit, and us
holding the bag, not having the liberties we had before,
(21:12):
looking down the barrel at Marxists in front of us.
And so until we go to nine to eleven and
really rip it apart and find out what really happened
that day and who did what, to whom We're going
to be in this problem. And what my hope is
is that President Trump, Pete Hegstath and the agencies, we'll
just cough it all up. Look at if it's an
ugly baby, let's just we're Americans. We can take it.
(21:35):
We'll hold people accountable. But we have to do this
if we're going to set things right and get back
on a path to maximum liberty and constitutional protections for
our people.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Maybe it was planned, maybe it was ironic, Maybe it
was whoever was behind this. It happened to be just
because Charlie Kirk was planning a speech on September tenth.
But I think these two events, as we look at
the United States at war with leftists, at war with
(22:11):
its enemies, and sleep at the switch in both instances,
I think it's a wake up call for all of
our people. Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaeffer, Brigadier General Blainholt, your
analysis and your patriotism and your service to this country
is something as you, as you both know, I tell
you often I admire and thank you for and appreciate
your time today.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's a wrap on this special edition of the Salsado
Storm Podcast Till we visit again, my friends, remember this,
stay safe, keep your head on a swivel, and remember
a society's worth is not measured by how much power
is stolen by an out of control government. A society's
worth is measured by how much power is reserved for
(22:52):
you and meed. We the people, keep fighting for freedom
out there, my friends,
Hello, I'm you happy people.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And Neil Smith and old Buck Buddy. Are you hearing Neil, Neil?
Speaker 1 (00:09):

There is no isle, Chris, there's no isle. There's politicians
with interests. There's deep state, slimy bureaucrats, and behind it
all is money of one flavor or another, blackmail, extortion, bribery,
(08:17):
whatever the flavor of the day is. But even Lisa Murkowski,
she casts the deciding vote as a Republican that they
would not release the Epstein information. So here's the thing.
We the people could care less who's implicated. Republicans, Democrats.
We just need them rounded up because we understand it's
not just about the children. It's about all of the
(08:38):
influence in our country that goes from foreign powers, very
high foreign powers. But when you evaporate your rule of law,
and this gets to the warfare piece. You know, Von
Klauswitz said that, you know, war is just an extension
of politics by other means. Well, that couldn't be truer
than today. If you look what happened in the middle
(08:59):
of the week. We had that darling refugee girl butchered
because these people let judges get into these positions with
seemingly no checks and balances on them to keep recycling
criminals to terrorize and kill us. And in the middle
of the week, what everybody missed was what happened in Nepal. Well,
they shot down, they erased the economy of Nepal. The
(09:21):
maoists controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, and the students
were shot down for protesting it. Nineteen killed with social media,
banned social media, by the way, they didn't realize was
the gig economy that all these kids are paying for themselves. Well,
they had no rule of law and with no rule
of law, no way of getting redress which we have
(09:42):
in our constitution, they went and burned down the whole
one hundred and twenty two year old Parliament building, the
Prime Minister's building, President's building, the Hilton five star and
raised catman do. Now. The reason that's important is because
it's the contagion that you see spread across the world,
especially through Western civilization in Europe, France, England, Ireland. It's
(10:09):
happening because of the accountability missing, no rule of law,
no redress, and disrespective Western values and in Charlie Kirk's case,
Christian values which our documents are founded on.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Colonel to the General's point, where these leftists are asserting
themselves again, I believe to avoid the accountability you spoke
of in your first answer, you've got the Democrat Party
objecting in the House of Representatives to a prayer for
Charlie Kirk. You've got the European Parliament objecting to a
moment of silence to honor Charlie Kirk. You know, I'm
(10:48):
kind of reminded as we segue into our discussion about
nine to eleven, our enemy has been at war with us.
We've just not been at war with them. And when
you see the leftists in Europe and you see the
leftist in AMERICAKA, you get very much the sense that
this is a worldwide effort to take away what it
is to be American, Western civilization, freedom, liberty, God given rights,
(11:11):
your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So the problem is they live in an alternate universe
and the things you just listed out they will not
permit because it impinges on their view of the world.
Charlie Kirk is a hateful individual. That's their declarative conclusion.
And then other things he did, we do it essentially
(11:34):
deflates their bony, baloney world. We are constantly encroaching in
their world.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That's their view.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They believe somehow that they're smarter than us, that they're
the ones chosen to be the higher functioning upper class
of society. Watch the Karens, watch the Darren's. They all
do this stuff and they are dangerous. It's a dangerous
mindset that goes along with a failed political philosophy. It's
(12:07):
a two firm And so Charlie again, Charlie Kirk, you said,
don't work. They're don't want to mold a moment of silence. No,
of course, he's stating to them, why would you do
why would you have a moment of state of this
to state so one of the things I recommendly do.
And you know, my friend Jim Woolsey does this and
blame's done this. You need to look at this through
the eyes of your adversary because to understand it through
(12:29):
their eyes you have to then gain an understanding of
how to defeat it because they they are not rational.
And yes, they've been affored us because we didn't understand it.
It's like, hey, we're just trying to make things better
for people. I'm proud of the fact that I'm a
member of the Party of Lincoln, that the DNA of
our party was anti slavery created in Wisconsin. Their party
(12:52):
is the trailer tears, just saying just say.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
So, yeah, and Jim Crow. Don't forget Jim Crow.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yes, yes, yes, if our two parties are very different.
And no, there was no towitching of the parties. I
know the other party switched, though they did not, So
I think we have to recognize that they they they've
been because yes, rotten everything about their perception, their collective
(13:19):
shared perception of the world. And I said, Charlie Kirk,
God bless him, was constantly, you know, puncturing their little bubble,
and they did not permit it. He became a public
enemy number one.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
True gentlemen. I want to reintroduce you, and then I
want to talk about today's anniversary. We're marking the anniversary
of September the eleventh, two thousand and one. We're talking
to Brigadier General Blaine Holt Folks and retired Lieutenant Colonel
Tony Schaeffer, both News and Acts contributors, both both former
members of the military and trusted friends. General. I'm going
(13:54):
to stay with the colonel because I want him to
set up something that we have discussed before. And then
I want to get your reaction. Colonel Schaeffer, you have
been talking a lot recently and in the past about
what transpired in the American government leading up to nine
to eleven, what we knew and what wasn't allowed to
(14:15):
get out. I Tucker Carlson interview with a former congressman
brought this information back to the fore recently and where
we can mourn three thousand of our citizens that died
on that day, and we still do and respect them
(14:36):
and their families and lift them up as we as
we typically would as Americans. The scope of what the
American government knew was coming has yet to be realized
or exposed. And I just want to ask you to
what degree you are comfortable talking about it, because you were,
you were on the ground level of exposing all of this,
(15:00):
and you paid a dear price for it. To whatever
degree you want to let the audience know what actually transpired,
go ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So there's a couple of things that are obvious that
I'll just restate as the foundation of our talk. First,
within twenty four hours, Chris, you'll recall this, we had
a full and complete list of all the hijackers and
their home addresses, like within twenty four hours. It was extraordinary.
It's like, Wow, that's really good intelligence work. How they
(15:33):
do that? Well? They did it because they knew who
these guys were. We knew who they were, and that's
the beginning of the problem. We had four knowledge of
the fact these knuckleheads were up to no good. So
then you have a whole whole string of questions that
we don't have time to go through this morning. Again,
I'm just setting kind of the stage for what we
(15:54):
have to look at regarding a nine to eleven accountability
of justice. So within the context of that then, so
if you take the premise then these guys were quickly
identify because they were go back and run. The tapes
with these guys were publicly acknowledged early on. How that happened, Well,
it happened because elements of our government were working against
(16:17):
other elements of our government, not all the government was
essentially looked at the other way. My team able Danger
was looking at how we could do a series of
black operations, two of which Chris still are beyond top
secret I can't talk about to this day, which we're
seeking now for the Secretary Defense for PDXT to release
(16:39):
release and allow us to talk about, which will change
the complexion of the attack by the way that it'll
put some things on the table that people probably figured
we could have done and didn't do well. I'll leave
it at that. But the bottom line is there were
elements like the DJ Jamie Gerrelik, who did a memo
which basically prohibit the sharing of information between intelligence law enforcement.
(17:00):
Why would you ever do that? There were indications that
the FBI. Catt and Harriet reported that the FBI allowed
Amwal Alaalachi to bring at least two who by the way,
Adam Warlaacki was an FBI asset who brought at least
two of the nine eleven hijackers into the United States,
sponsored them, moved them around, essentially help them get set up.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
These are just a few things.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
So if you start looking at the dangling participles that
have never been at touched, they never been touched. The
nine eleven Commission never touched any of this, you got
to wonder what did the nine to eleven Commission actually do?
And the bottom line is the nine to eleven Commission.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Was a cover.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Their job was to put a shellacking of nice looking
answers to this. It's kind of a save on a
wound and hope everybody would say, oh, it's tragic, it's terrible.
We could not to quote John Lehman, we could not
imagine terrorists doing this well, Chris, people imagined we were
trying to stop it. Why we were stopped from stopping
(18:01):
it is something that must be resolved.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Indeed, general, it indicates that there are lesser men and
women inside the US government that either knew or should
have known, and instead of coming clean so that these
kinds of things didn't plague us in the future, and
it ended up, I contend, plaguing us well to this day.
(18:24):
Instead of addressing those they covered their own rear ends
because they didn't want to sacrifice the faith the American
people had in the government. And ultimately, here we are
today and trust in the federal government, which is well earned,
is at record lows because of these very same kinds
of people, because of the lack of accountability. Where we
(18:45):
started this whole conversation, your thoughts and what the colonel
has been through, and by the way, the retaliation against
the colonel because he's technically a lieutenant colonel by rank
and should be should have been a colonel, but the
retaliation against him to shut him up for what he knew.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, this is horrific and it's a black spot in
history that we have to go return to no matter what.
And it does run the accountability theme as well. It's
the same as Israel must go back to October seventh
and figure out why that happened. The big thing here
is is we have enough indicators that we can get
(19:22):
on our own outside of classified information to understand that
the stories we were fed were not quite right, and
that it's twenty four years later and we're not allowed
to know all the information why because it doesn't look
like it's anything other than wicked people in our government
covering it up for some nefarious reason, with very high
ranking and powerful people who probably should have been held
(19:45):
to account right away. But let's look at the damage.
The damage of course, three thousand Americans dead instantly, the
damage of the Pentagon. But then, and here's another troubling thing,
and I know that Kurt Weldon talks about this, is
they had that patri ready to go pretty damn quick.
I've never seen legislation get fired off so quickly. And
what did we do. We had a problem. We reacted
(20:08):
with fear, and they took away our rights and we said, okay,
A dear friend of mine, Bob Barr, tried to fight
that in Congress, couldn't get it done. And now we're
on this slippery slope to where creepy guys like Alex
Carpet Pallanteer want to complete the deal and take us
to a surveillance state. Nobody's trusting this government right now
because they won't open up and tell us truth. Now,
(20:28):
let's look at the damage done to our armed forces.
We weaken ourselves over time. We go to two massive
wars with invasion occupation forces. I argued vociferously as a major,
a young planner, why are we going to put an
invasion force down? We can get this done from air
powers aspect. What we see emerge is a trillion dollar
(20:50):
war industry. No talk about going to victory, no talk
about cessation of conflict or that you've met your military means.
And now here we are endless cycle of endless war,
endless military industrial base, a Congress that's complicit, and us
holding the bag, not having the liberties we had before,
(21:12):
looking down the barrel at Marxists in front of us.
And so until we go to nine to eleven and
really rip it apart and find out what really happened
that day and who did what, to whom We're going
to be in this problem. And what my hope is
is that President Trump, Pete Hegstath and the agencies, we'll
just cough it all up. Look at if it's an
ugly baby, let's just we're Americans. We can take it.
(21:35):
We'll hold people accountable. But we have to do this
if we're going to set things right and get back
on a path to maximum liberty and constitutional protections for
our people.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Maybe it was planned, maybe it was ironic, Maybe it
was whoever was behind this. It happened to be just
because Charlie Kirk was planning a speech on September tenth.
But I think these two events, as we look at
the United States at war with leftists, at war with
(22:11):
its enemies, and sleep at the switch in both instances,
I think it's a wake up call for all of
our people. Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaeffer, Brigadier General Blainholt, your
analysis and your patriotism and your service to this country
is something as you, as you both know, I tell
you often I admire and thank you for and appreciate
your time today.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
That's a wrap on this special edition of the Salsado
Storm Podcast Till we visit again, my friends, remember this,
stay safe, keep your head on a swivel, and remember
a society's worth is not measured by how much power
is stolen by an out of control government. A society's
worth is measured by how much power is reserved for
(22:52):
you and meed. We the people, keep fighting for freedom
out there, my friends,
