	What's going on guys?
	Welcome to another episode of Triggered, and this one's gonna be fun.
	We have a great show for you tonight.
	We have Kash Patel, the former Deputy Director of National Intelligence.
	If you've been watching what's going on for the last week, whether it's all of a sudden these unidentified objects
	We got everything.
	But this is a guy that knows how the sausage is made.
	This is a guy that had the information that you, nor I, would ever be privy to.
	And so I think you're going to want to see it.
	I think you're going to have a lot of fun with that one.
	But before we get to Cash,
	I think we gotta talk a little bit about the news of the week and some of the things that are going on today.
	Obviously, yesterday was the Super Bowl, and the left-wing lunatics will figure out a way to politicize literally everything.
	So, for some hard-hitting analysis, we're gonna bring you to the women of The View.
	Now, these lunatics
	As always, we'll have a take on something.
	Now, it may be the dumbest fucking take you've ever heard in your life, but they will have a take nonetheless.
	Watch as they perpetuate racism on a mainstream show on regular television for all of America to see.
	Check it out for yourselves.
	The only thing that would have made it better for me is, you know, finally we know that black quarterbacks can lead teams.
	And are smart enough to lead teams.
	I would like to see- I always knew that.
	That was never a question.
	We knew that.
	But, you know, it takes people a minute to catch up.
	Wow.
	Wow, so finally a black quarterback can lead teams?
	That's their take?
	Because it's never been done before?
	Is that what they're telling us?
	Do they not know?
	I mean, listen, when Whoopi is the voice of reason, like, well, wait a minute, you know, we sort of knew that, but the rest of racist America couldn't possibly imagine that even if Patrick Mahomes went to the Super Bowl a few years ago, you know,
	Minor details like that.
	It reminds me of when I went on The View, folks.
	I went on The View to promote my... I guess I was 18.
	I went on The View to talk about my book, Triggered.
	They invited me on the show to do a whole hour.
	Now, I'm not naive.
	I know that I'm gonna take some hits, but I also figured that if someone invites you to talk about their book, maybe they'd let you actually talk about the book, but that didn't happen.
	And just in case it went exactly the way I thought it would go, I did a little bit of homework right before the show.
	I just googled, what are the dumbest things ever said on The View?
	And that's the episode where I guess I called out Joy Behar for wearing blackface and Whoopi Goldberg for basically promoting Roman Polanski, a convicted child pedophile.
	You know, minor details like this.
	It was so funny.
	I wish you guys could have seen it because I got so many compliments from the people who saw the show, but what you didn't see
	Was what happened with the audience.
	Now this is an audience in New York City that the view and the lunatics of the left lost.
	Whoopi was MF-ing the audience in the middle of it, saying, this isn't a, quote, F-ing Trump rally, because what they did was so insane and so indefensible that they lost a New York City crowd at The View to me.
	I wish that ABC or NBC, whatever the hell station they're on, would put this one up, because, honestly, it's truly epic.
	But if this take
	Wasn't exactly the level of stupidity that we've come to know from the people of The View and the same amount of racism that they're perpetuating.
	Another far-left activist were out there talking about how racist it was for the name Kansas City Chiefs.
	Somehow, the team that is the Super Bowl champions, or world champions, I'm trying to still figure that one out since I think football's only played in America, but minor details,
	I think calling them the Kansas City Chiefs actually is glorifying the notion of Native American tribes, that they are strong warriors, that they won the world championship.
	But no, there are still the people out there that go as far as to say, fans will don more
	Faux feather headdresses and paint their faces red so they do more pregame partying outside Arizona State's Farm Stadium.
	All while the racism and discrimination against indigenous peoples in the United States will be passively encouraged as an outburst of good old team spirit on a national stage.
	It's like they don't have anything else to bitch about anymore, folks.
	They've just lost their minds and they don't care.
	They're catering to like the two people who figured out how to make themselves somehow victims of this who are probably getting paid to be victims like we've seen so much, but...
	In other insane news of the week, Australia established a new ambassador for gender equality.
	And guys, it's everything you would think that it would be.
	Remember, it's always in the eyes.
	The eyes give it away way before everything else.
	Check it out for yourself and I'll have some commentary.
	Hello, I'm Stephanie Coppice-Campbell, Australia's new Ambassador for Gender Equality.
	I'm incredibly honoured to take on this role as the lead international advocate for Australia's commitment to gender equality and the human rights of women and girls and persons of diverse gender identities.
	In this role, I'm committed to listening to those who are dedicated to promoting gender equality and learning about the perspectives and priorities in communities,
	Promoting gender equality is the right thing to do, but it's also the smart thing to do.
	It is central to Australia's diplomatic, economic development and regional security, as well as our international engagement.
	I look forward to working with partners in Australia, in the Pacific, in Southeast Asia and globally to progress the Australian Government's priorities to increase women's economic empowerment,
	Women and girls leadership and to end sexual and gender-based violence to improve access to health and education services and progress the women peace and security agenda.
	As I said, guys, it's always in the eyes.
	Now, I'm not sure how this is going to lead to any equality.
	I have a feeling when we've seen these programs, it probably creates equality for men who want to compete in women's sports and other such programs.
	But again, I'm still trying to figure out how it strengthens Australia's defense programs
	Because it doesn't, folks.
	It doesn't.
	The insanity never ends.
	Now, we tried doing a little bit of research into this woman, Stephanie Corpus Campbell.
	Apparently, from what we were able to find is, on her LinkedIn profile, has no prior experience in public service, based on what we were able to see.
	Maybe there's a lot.
	Maybe they'll make it up.
	Maybe, who the hell knows, she checks some sort of box off that makes a thing.
	But what is the purpose of this ambassadorship?
	What are her qualifications?
	And what is it that's going on here?
	Because apparently it's not just Australia, folks.
	We've been looking to Europe and some of the other lunatics leading the world stage on some of this.
	Obviously our folks in Canada, but we'll get to that in a minute.
	Apparently, the U.S.
	and the Biden White House has also created a Gender Policy Council to, quote, advance gender equity.
	Because equity is always key.
	Remember, guys, it's not about equality.
	It's about equity, which is the equity of outcome, not the equity of opportunity.
	We got to remember that in everything that they do.
	But
	What are these programs doing?
	The answer is probably not a lot of anything.
	So, if you thought the left was losing their minds with something like this, this one was even crazier to me.
	Apparently, a left-wing, abolished-the-police activist, Baker, died this weekend after robbers mowed her down near an Oakland bank.
	They dragged her to death, and her family does not want the criminals prosecuted.
	Either her family hates her, or there's a whole lot more crazy going on with these people.
	I mean, think about that.
	She died being a victim of a crime, and the family, and presumably her, based on her activism, wouldn't want the criminals prosecuted because it somehow perpetuates a cycle of whatever.
	These are the people
	Who, like the Biden administration, wants to put in charge.
	In the process of trying to chase them down, this woman got caught in the door of the fleeing vehicle and was dragged more than 50 feet.
	She was then put on life support and died from her injuries.
	The victim has a history of anti-police beliefs and community activism.
	I guess Miss Angel reportedly once bragged on Facebook that she has taught her employees to do what she does and never call the cops.
	Her family doesn't even want them prosecuted.
	Guys, I got nothing else other than these people are freaking insane.
	But because of the media, because of the big tech and their lock on leftism, because the leftists have taken over every faction of our government and our world, these people are the people that have much more say.
	These are the ones that are going to be making decisions for your children and mine because they've been given platforms when they're clearly freaking idiots.
	So, California now introduced a bill that could end K-12 suspensions for defying school rules.
	Another one that we can't quite figure out, because if you misbehave, you're supposed to have no consequence, right?
	That's how we grow and we learn, or at least that, according to this story, as well as the last one, is what the left would want you to believe.
	I'm not sure
	What they're looking to do.
	I don't know what the endgame is other than it leads, in my opinion, to anarchy.
	Because you can't teach someone if there's never a consequence.
	Why would they do anything if they can just do whatever they want?
	The left is promoting lawlessness and it doesn't stop.
	And just when you think maybe we'd be at an end to the leftists losing their minds, we have a Yale professor who suggested that mass suicide for old people in Japan is the solution for their rapidly aging society.
	They should just go kill themselves.
	I guess Harry Carey, because that's the honorable thing to do.
	This is a professor at what would be told, what we've been told for years would be one of the finest education institutions
	In the world.
	This is one where years ago you'd want to send your kid there desperately.
	At this point, I don't know that they offer any value because you can't actually get ahead learning to think because if you think a little different than your professor, you're going to be penalized.
	Ask me how I know.
	When I speak on these college campuses and they show up and young students show up, I ask them, first thing, raise your hand, if your teachers knew you were here right now, would you be penalized academically?
	And unanimously, every kid in the room raises their hand.
	So we want our children to be robots.
	But he says, I quote, feel like the only solution is pretty clear.
	He said during an online program in late 2020.
	In the end, isn't it mass suicide?
	Of the elderly?
	That's his solution?
	Mass suicide?
	Sounds like eugenics.
	It sounds like insanity, which of course it is, but because it's from the left, because it's from academia, they will continue to have the cover that they need.
	So in really big breaking news, and before we get into what we're really going to be talking about tonight,
	I found, I believe it's the most accurate meme of the week, and it's the men that voted for Joe Biden.
	I think we finally found an example.
	Check it out for yourself and tell me where I'm off.
	Guys, I don't think we're off.
	I think we pretty much nailed it.
	Between the White Toe and the, let's call it the Tight Pants and Camel Toe, I think we found it, and it seems to be a rather large demographic.
	One promoted by the left, and one that we must rebel against.
	In all seriousness though, guys, before we get to Kash Patel, and I think this is going to be an important one, we've shot down now multiple objects over the weekend.
	Apparently NORAD has not shot down anything over the airspace that it watches.
	We're good to go.
	Our brilliant Press Secretary Corinne Jean-Pierre has to say about some of these instances.
	I think you'll find it rather enlightening.
	Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?
	Because it's part of NORAD.
	The NORAD is part of what you call a coalition.
	A consortium.
	A pact.
	Exactly.
	And so that's why we were able to do that.
	Again, we didn't do it on our own.
	We did it clearly in step with Canada.
	I mean, clearly we're in sync with Canadia!
	Guys, you've probably heard me bitch about it before, but in all fairness, this is what happens when your only qualifications that day, you were a foreign-born lesbian who happens to be African-American, and that was the hiring process, it seems, for this individual.
	That's not racist, they basically said it.
	People will criticize you for it, but this is the most incompetent person to ever sit in that office.
	Our allies to the north, you know, the little country, Canadia,
	You gotta be shitting me!
	Like, she is the communications director for the White House, for the President of the United States, the leader of the free world.
	Now, if you listen to him speak, it's not much better.
	Okay?
	But we're being led by imbeciles.
	These are the people that are going to get calls when there is an actual alien invasion, which who the hell knows?
	Maybe this is it.
	Like, how about this?
	Please, we'll take you to our leader as long as you promise to take him with you.
	Like, because in a Oregon, folks, this is a person that's supposed to be
	A skilled communicator.
	She doesn't know what NORAD is, that's pretty clear, but she doesn't know what a lot of the things she's supposed to know about are.
	And it doesn't matter, because again, she's a lesbian, and that's supposed to be, like, wonderful.
	Because it's not about the qualifications for the job anymore, it's how many boxes we can check, and apparently she checked off a lot.
	So folks,
	It doesn't just end there, though.
	This is a little bit more troubling, and a U.S.
	general in charge of NORAD says he hasn't ruled out anything, including the possibility of extraterrestrial origins.
	Check it out.
	This is for General Van Hurk.
	Because you still haven't been able to tell us what these things are that we are shooting out of the sky, that raises the question, have you ruled out aliens or extraterrestrials?
	And if so, why?
	Because that is what everyone is asking us right now.
	Thanks for the question, Helene.
	I'll let the intel community and the counterintelligence community
	Wow!
	Remember guys, if it is an alien invasion, you know who I want in charge?
	Joe Biden!
	We're all screwed, guys.
	At this point, like, I may have to change my presidential vote for 2024 from Donald Trump to just a meteor.
	Just take us out, because at this point, we deserve it.
	That's where we're at, okay?
	Guys, I think you're gonna love this guest.
	Before I get to Kash Patel, I want to thank our sponsors, okay?
	We have a couple great guys.
	We obviously have Gold Co.
	and we have Max Refund.
	A couple of guys that took
	A chance to sponsor a show like this.
	And I think that's a big deal.
	We got to support the businesses who are supporting the people who have the guts to have the real conversations that people aren't having.
	Everyone else, they'll tiptoe around these things.
	I think cash will give you a lot of insight on that.
	So if you're a business or a small business, large business with W2 employees, you can now qualify for up to $26,000 per employee.
	That's possible through a program called ERC.
	This is not a loan and if you qualify you don't even have to pay it back.
	The Patriots at Max Refund are experts in ERC and will ensure that you secure your maximum amount of money that you deserve on your ERC refund.
	Visit maxrefund.com slash d-o-n-j-r.
	MaxRefund.com to qualify today.
	Try to get some of this money back, folks.
	These programs exist for you.
	I promise you, everyone on the left has taken care and taken part in every ridiculous program.
	You should be doing it too.
	Save that money.
	Don't let the morons running the government spend it.
	And again, make sure they know where it's coming from so they know that it's okay to support shows like this and take part in the patriot economy.
	Now, again, it's not easy to do something like this.
	Our original sponsor, Gold Co., was the first guy out there.
	Go check out Gold
	Sorry, donjrgold.com and see what they have to offer.
	If you're looking at the world right now and it's like 2008 and you're worried about inflation, you're worried about hitting a wall, you're worried about all of the insanity that we've seen out there, watching Americans who watched their retirements disappear, the U.S.
	dollar having lost 85% of its purchasing power since 1971,
	owning tangible gold physical gold or silver can maybe help diversify your portfolio so again if you're not happy where the world's going if you want some diversity in there go check out donjrgold.com and the guys at goldco can help you figure it out they're experts they'll get you what you need and again make sure you do it that way so they know
	That they're supporting something that is actually leading to leads.
	It's important.
	It sounds self-serving, and it is.
	Because that's the reality.
	We have to support the businesses that are supporting us.
	We have to not support the businesses that would put us in the gulags.
	And we've seen that time and time again.
	So, go to DonJrGold.com, learn more about it, and I think you'll like them a lot.
	With that, I'm going to ask Kash Patel to slide over here a little bit.
	We're still in the makeshift studio, so we're going a little bit ad hoc here.
	But Kash Patel was the Director of National Intelligence, deputy under, I guess, a couple people, but primarily, well, you worked for Devin Nunes, first of all, in Congress.
	I think that's important, because Kash is the guy that basically discovered
	All of the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
	Tell us a little bit about that first, and then we'll go into the DNI role.
	No, first of all, Don, thanks so much for having me on, but I really want to start out of the gate with something important.
	I'm here to deliver you the Pulitzer Prize for having a brown guy on your show in the first two weeks.
	Well, you know, listen, listen, we don't do this on purpose.
	I think we should just stop, you know.
	That's it, it's not getting any better.
	I promise you, buddy.
	We've known each other for a while.
	We've communicated a lot over the years.
	You're not like the token brown guy on the show, right?
	We're just friends.
	I understand that there's a lot of people out there that do that.
	Most of them from the left.
	You saw the insanity from the view.
	I mean, how about like, I don't know, whether it's the airlines that I see out there.
	We want to make sure we have the most diverse array of pilots.
	I don't know.
	How about we just have, like, the best pilot?
	Like, when I'm at 36,000 feet, the one thing I want to make sure is that it's a diverse crew.
	Not a good crew, a diverse one.
	No, look, you're right.
	Look, whether it came to working for Devin Nunes and running the Russiagate investigation, which, of course, we've led to writing the Nunes memo, and the exposure of lying to federal courts, the Democrats funneling in money, all to target DJT, all to take out a political opponent, or whether it came to working in the Donald Trump administration, be it as Deputy Director of National Intel,
	Or Chief of Staff at DoD.
	Oh, and by the way, I was the first minority in U.S.
	history to hold either of those posts.
	But I'm not proud that I held it as a minority.
	I'm proud that Donald Trump, Devin Nunes and others hired me and others who were skilled enough to do the job, not based on the color of my skin or my background.
	And you just heard Karine Jean, whatever Pierre her name is, she can't even read English, let alone be our advertiser.
	Well, that's what it was.
	When she got that job, it was like, she's the first foreign-born, uh, lesbian woman of color to hold, like, I'm like, who gives a shit?
	Like, wow, like, what?
	But, like, they were promoting that.
	And then you're like, like, I don't know, I'd like competence.
	And, like, you realize, like, oh, there's not.
	I mean, she did it this week.
	There was some other...
	And I would have been offended if Donald Trump advertised that.
	You should be!
	I mean, I would think, just imagine if we're in the Trump presidency and we're talking about the night we took out Baghdadi when I was running counterterrorism.
	I'm in this situation with the President of the United States, his cabinet, and the next morning we go to our secretary, our press secretary, and just imagine if she couldn't spell the country
	Well, first of all, it's liberal privilege.
	I mean, I wrote a book about it, not a gratuitous plug for my book if you haven't seen it, but it is.
	If Sarah Huckabee Sanders
	You know, did that.
	If Kayleigh McEnany did that, it would lead the news cycle for weeks.
	Instead, she can get out there, clearly not have an understanding of NORAD.
	I mean, it's like our air defense systems.
	You know, it's kind of a big one.
	Like, anyone who's taken a basic poly cycle or knows what that is, she didn't really understand it.
	Didn't understand how to explain it.
	But like, Canadia?
	And like, but the host isn't even like, didn't even laugh.
	He like didn't even break stride.
	It's like, we just got to deal with these people because they're stupid.
	And like, like it never happened.
	And if it wasn't for people like me being willing to call it out, like it'd be like, it's just a free pass.
	The sad thing is, you know, we're joking about it now and it's good to do that because you need humor in these times.
	But tragically, you know, with my background, I'm a national security defense intel guy.
	And we have the Commander-in-Chief of the United States and his team leading out, and they cannot even identify the countries that we're focusing on by name because they don't know them or how to spell them.
	You know who's looking at us and laughing?
	Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are staring at us and they're saying, oh, we caught you with, you caught one of our balloons?
	Well, you missed the other 75.
	By the way, we're not even going to tell you about the cyber intrusion we're doing to you right now while you're looking left and we're going right.
	Well, and that's sort of the government cyber intrusion.
	And then you obviously have, like, TikTok on every kid's phone in America.
	Like, these guys are racking up information on our children that will be weaponized and used against them forever.
	Yeah.
	There's a reason that TikTok has been labeled the digital Chinese fentanyl, because that's exactly what it is.
	And people don't care about the six-month plan or the year plan.
	That's close.
	Yeah.
	He'd be out, and he should be!
	Yes!
	But watching, like, I literally can't even understand watching Democrats fight to keep Swalwell out.
	First of all, the guy's an idiot, right?
	Minor details, but like, so, well, there was no proof that I did anything wrong.
	That doesn't matter.
	I mean, if you were sleeping with someone for a while, who knows what they have on you that they could?
	Maybe they haven't used it yet.
	But who knows the pile of information that they could hold over your head when it matters?
	And that in and of itself as a deterrence should prevent it.
	You know, Schiff lied about everything.
	I mean, these are people that called you a white supremacist.
	They did.
	Like, hey, folks!
	I don't even know what to make of it.
	It was worse, it was worse.
	They called me Schiff and Swalwell.
	Actually, the first time I got outed in that trash media outfit, Beast, Daily Beast, or Politico, whichever one, I can't keep it straight.
	They called me a genocidal dictator.
	That was the quote, which is hilarious when you think that I am the son of a man who fled a genocidal dictatorship, and then my dad got in line to get into this country legally, and then his son rose to some of the highest ranks in government.
	That is the American story that the liberals talk about but don't live.
	And we get to because we put America first.
	Yeah, like, have you ever thought, like, if you were a Democrat, like, you know how easy it would be?
	You'd be president by now.
	Like, you could do anything you want.
	They'd be like, A, you're smart.
	B, you checked off that box and you're like, oh my God.
	And yet, you're vilified for all of the things that they have glorified on the other side.
	You get no points, no credit, nothing.
	And here's the thing, I don't want any of it because, like you, we were put into positions that we never thought we would have.
	But the one thing we shared is accountability for the American public and putting out the truth overall.
	Doesn't matter what it costs me or you or our families or our persons because the American public and our children and our future are more important than some political tagline.
	So when we put out things like the Nunes Memo, or as I like to call it the Cash Memo, Dev and I joke about it, we got excoriated for it.
	But the only thing that mattered, and I didn't know, most people don't know this,
	I didn't know Donald Trump back then.
	I had never met the man.
	I'd never talked to him.
	I knew who he was by name.
	And I told Devin, I said, look, I don't know this guy, but you want to do this Russiagate investigation?
	I'll make you one deal.
	We put out whatever we find.
	Whatever we find.
	Donald Trump's a Russian asset?
	We put it out.
	Now, of course, we never thought we would figure out
	The biggest criminal scandal put on by the FBI and the DNC, but half of this country still believes Donald Trump's a Russian asset.
	They're still running with it, as though it's fact.
	And yet, when you have, you know, you're talking about me, like I get it, I've been blessed beyond belief in this country.
	I got thrown into politics in my late 30s and all of a sudden it's like, hey, I just actually believe this stuff.
	I will more than happily fight for it.
	You know, there's a consequence to that.
	I always say, it'd have been a lot easier to shut the hell up and be a real estate developer from New York and not get into that.
	But like, you know, I actually do believe in this stuff.
	I want to leave my kids a country.
	Uh, you know, that they can recognize.
	And so it's so important to be in that fight.
	But I look at what they called me, you know, a traitor.
	Adam Schiff wanted to try me for treason.
	You know, a crime punishable by death.
	But Hunter Biden can take a billion from China, work for Ukraine oligarchs, you know, work for Russian oligarchs, money launderer, be paid in diamonds off the books, not declare anything in taxes, drop guns in dumpsters across from high schools.
	And it's like, he is an upstanding human being.
	Then I give an impassioned speech and they're like,
	Don Jr.'
	's on Coke.
	And I borrow your name, and I don't do it to vilify anyone, but I borrow it to juxtaposition the two-tier system of justice we have.
	And let's stick with Hunter Biden and the laptop.
	I know we've proven that the elections were rigged and everything like that, but how about this?
	Let's fold in everything.
	And this is something I don't think I've said publicly before.
	The Hunter Biden laptop is the genesis
	Of the classified document investigation for Joe Biden.
	Let me unpack that because people are like, what are you talking about?
	It's two different things.
	It's not.
	If you look at the documentation found on the Hunter Biden laptop, there's one specific memo that he took and copied and pasted and then put into his own words.
	It was a memo to the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian foreign officials.
	As me, as a former deputy director of national intelligence, looked at that information, I said, that's classified.
	There's no way Hunter Biden had access to it because he doesn't have a security clearance.
	Where did he get it from?
	Dad.
	What did they do with that memo?
	That's the other half of the crime.
	They took that memo and sent it overseas.
	He got a seven-figure contract from the Ukrainian government by stealing classified information through his father and hiding it in the Corvette book or wherever it was.
	And now,
	They want to give him a pass.
	And I always say, you know, what if Don Jr.
	had stolen information from Donald Trump and then got a seven-figure payday from China?
	Would we even be having this conversation?
	So for me, the win is highlighting the two-tier system of justice so that we can fix it.
	Because right now, it started back in Russiagate, and it's continuing on to Hunter Biden's laptop, to Biden's classified document investigation, and now the balloon scandal and everything else.
	Well, so, I mean, I want to get to the balloon shortly, because, you know, I can't tell if it's a scandal or if it's a distraction, right?
	Like, is this the shiny object that we're waving out over here to not get you talking about, like, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline bombing?
	But, like, I want to unpack a little bit more the Hunter thing that you just talked about, because I think the question I'm shocked no one's asking is,
	Everyone understands there's a link there, but are they wondering, like, we've spent $130 billion plus, you know, whatever a percentage of the $220 billion that the Pentagon lost and has magically, I mean, they lost $220 billion, right?
	Like, you don't just lose that, but how much of that was probably spent in Ukraine?
	How much of our decision making in Ukraine against Russia and a nuclear power is being based off of stuff because those guys have this information and are holding it over Joe Biden's head?
	Why is no one asking that question?
	This makes the Swalwell China stuff seem like small potatoes in terms of leverage.
	And we've spent so much money, and no one's asking if our decisions are being influenced by the unknown.
	That's actually, from an intelligence perspective, the most critical question no one is talking about.
	Leverage.
	Because the documented information that we know exists on Hunter Biden's laptop, plus the documents we found, or the government found, in Joe Biden's
	Six places so far?
	Yeah.
	And here's the cute thing.
	If you want to talk about government cheese, these guys are talking about sets of documents that were discovered for the last 20 years that Joe Biden's been hiding.
	Do you know I've seen sets of documents?
	One set could be a thousand pages of classified information.
	Yeah, they make it seem like it's a one-page memo that he had classified.
	Well, it was one set.
	That set could be the entire garage for all we know.
	And that goes back to leverage.
	And it's documents we now know from the Ukraine, from the CCP, from Russia.
	All of these things are interconnected.
	These leaders, like China and Russia and Ukraine, they do everything they can to go against their number one adversary, us.
	Right now, they have documentation against the sitting, think about this, the sitting Commander-in-Chief to the United States of America has classified information he stole.
	They use that to barter and gain an illegal deal
	Through their son.
	And these guys have so much more information on those two individuals who are basically running our country.
	And you want to talk about leverage points?
	You want to talk about an Intel pressure switch that's just waiting to ignite?
	Here's the worst part though.
	China and Russia are not in it for the short game.
	No delay.
	They'll wait.
	They're not worried about a two year election cycle where they got to promise stuff and give people free shit and like, you know, basically buy a vote.
	Even if they can't do it, they'll promise it and then they'll fail like the student loan thing, like the insanity.
	Like now.
	But it's like that's what they're doing.
	Like they are.
	I wouldn't even say a 15 year game.
	They're playing a hundred year game.
	Like this is where we need to be in 100 years.
	And it doesn't matter what gets in the way.
	I'm not saying that's right, but I'm saying like you don't think they're taking advantage of Joe Biden and the idiocy and even our process.
	And that's what I think Americans are finally starting to learn, because they're paying attention, is how our government actually works.
	Let's talk about the money that they're sending over to the Ukraine.
	I'm not saying we shouldn't help other countries, but when we got 55,000 homeless veterans in this country, two dozen of which take their lives every day by suicide, maybe we should spend it on the people that defended this nation.
	And the worst, I mean I don't want to call it the worst part,
	Yeah.
	And we are just giving money away, and that's not even to mention the military equipment we've lit on fire by sending over there and depleting our resources.
	Well, of course.
	And then you have Putin buying the stuff we left in Afghanistan, 86 billion worth, to use against us and our equipment.
	Yeah, we're creating a billionaire oligarch class.
	In Ukraine.
	Fuckers, like, we watched Big Pharma get rich for two years.
	Now it's like, well, Big War, we're sitting on the sidelines, and they've been watching, and they're like, it's our turn again, and we're just gonna say, okay.
	So, I mean, some of it is coming back here.
	But that doesn't mean it's right.
	Like, no one in America wants to be in the never-ending wars.
	And as long as that money spigot is going, there's no incentive for Zelensky to get out of the table.
	They know they're not going to target him.
	You know, it's such a precarious position for him that he can go be on Hollywood award shows and zoom in to, like, these sorts of, like, every politician and actor in America has the Zelensky photo op.
	Like, what are we talking about here?
	It never ends.
	There's no end game if we continue until we cut off the money and say, you guys better come to an agreement.
	And it's like everything else, the money.
	So when I was Chief of Staff at the Defense Department, my first call, my first five calls, were to the heads of Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and another big provider.
	And I said, the Defense Industrial Complex provides great work for the American people that we need, but you guys are also the biggest wasters of money on planet Earth, and you're connected to the boondoggle in Washington D.C.
	on Capitol Hill because of the kickback schemes, and also the golden parachutes you guys have going out on a rotating basis.
	Let me give you one example.
	We have surface-to-air missiles, right?
	They take a long time to build one battery system.
	We sent seven years worth of SAMs to the Ukraine under the Biden administration.
	That means if we spent the next seven years building, then we'd be back to zero.
	That is tens of billions of dollars that we have shifted over there.
	And they want to say... So a SAM is a surface to air missile.
	So like the stuff we're using now or could be using to shoot other Chinese intrusions out of the sky, we won't be back to baseline for seven years if we started this instant.
	Exactly.
	And the cute thing is, the Biden administration is like, no, no, we're just helping them with money and machinery.
	Who operates this money and machinery?
	Do you just give them an M1 Abrams tank and you're like, here are the keys, go ahead, drive it down Broadway in downtown Kiev?
	Or who operates these batteries?
	Who operates these SAMs?
	American soldiers.
	And it's cute by a half.
	You know who's on the ground right now?
	American contractors who used to be soldiers, who have a job with the United States government, so they can say there's no uniformed officers on the ground.
	We are entering the Afghan phase of entry into the Ukraine, and we're going to be there unless this government stops.
	And what could go wrong, folks?
	Russia sits on 6,000-plus nuclear missiles.
	You have a dictator, clearly, who many say is unwell, but who is also probably overseeing what I imagine most think is the great underperform of, like, modern military warfare, meaning everyone figured, hey, Russia will steamroll these guys, it'll be over in two weeks, and everyone's realizing, wow, like, Russia's a paper tiger, but for the nukes.
	But like, you know, ground forces clearly not up to par they're doing now.
	A lot of that's because we're bolstering that aid and everything like that.
	But again, what's the worst that could happen when you have a lunatic egomaniac with 6,000 nukes saying, hey, we've been basically at war with the United States?
	Not Ukraine.
	And that's the problem, and he knows that.
	He knows that, Xi Jinping knows that, they've partnered together, they've partnered with Iran, and they're saying America's lighting itself on fire, depleting of itself's resources.
	Here's another thing, they won't even take our phone calls.
	Remember, we'll get to the balloon thing, but these leaders in Russia and China will not take the phone calls of our Secretary of State, our Secretary of Defense, our Chief of Staff at the White House, or anything like that, like they did, like I was on during the Trump administration, because they have no respect
	I don't blame them.
	I don't mind.
	I look at our generals like Millie.
	Like, hey, we're gonna call and give you a heads up before we do anything.
	Or, you know, I really want to understand white rage.
	Like, I should have never even heard of before.
	Like, he really wants to understand.
	I'm like...
	How about, like, understanding war?
	Like, we've been at war for 20 years, like, maybe figure out how to win one for a change, like, but they don't want that.
	And, you know, you get to take Blinken's phone call?
	He got up there after the Afghan debacle and said to the world, like, their, I believe the exact quote was he was shocked and dismayed that the Taliban
	Remember this one?
	Did not install a more diverse and inclusive government.
	I mean, did they think they were going to have a trans coalition on the Taliban government that spent 20 years throwing homosexuals off of buildings?
	I don't understand.
	These are not serious people.
	Like, why would you take their call at this point?
	What's worse is that I think they're evil intended.
	And let me give you two examples.
	One, this DOD's first action in the Biden administration, what we call CONOPs, concepts of operations, how the DOD moves its machinery, you know, how to take on terrorism, how to get us out of Afghanistan.
	Their first con op in the Biden administration was on climate change.
	The Department of Defense's first operational plan to move three million employees in the United States of America was on climate change and whether or not the sun would set tomorrow.
	Why I say that sort of after- And white supremacy is the greatest threat to like- That was number two!
	I'm trying to figure- I met these people, I hope I never do, but like these are not a large faction.
	I'm sure this stuff exists, but like
	Tiny, tiny, tiny.
	They don't have anything going after, you know, like the African-American gentleman that mowed down a Christmas parade that was clearly saying racist stuff, because it's not racist if someone other than a white male Republican wearing a MAGA hat and an AR-15 does it, right?
	No, you're absolutely right.
	Or you.
	Or me.
	We'll talk about that later.
	But the second serious part of that tragic consequence of that, focusing on white rage and the climate, is you make the men and women in our intel community and military focus on that target.
	And what happens?
	China and Russia come in while we're looking left, and we're spending billions in the Ukraine, and they come in and say, how can we get after our adversary's stupidity?
	You know what you do?
	We'll fly aerial balloons over there.
	By the way, one that doesn't get discovered until it's well into our airspace.
	Exactly.
	Others that make it all the way through.
	And then when we do discover it, it takes six days to shoot it down.
	Again, you've got to question, like, does China have something on Joe Biden?
	Because they must be looking and, like, laughing their asses off.
	No.
	And just go back to- So talk about that.
	I mean, what's going through the process?
	Like, how- like, it feels like when they finally shot down that other balloon and then they start talking about shooting the other ones down, it's like he was bullied in it by Twitter.
	It's like, or truth socially, people on social media were like, ah, do you think it's a great idea to allow them to continue to gather information?
	Like, no, no, no.
	We're going to let them get through this by now.
	I'm sure they could do a lot of this stuff with satellites.
	They're doing it with TikTok.
	I'm sure they have much more sophisticated stuff than big fucking balloons.
	But like, it's the notion that it just goes unchallenged and they're testing us to see just how far they can push it.
	And the answer is really far.
	No, they've already won.
	They've won the actual intel collection game and the propaganda game.
	Now look, let's just take the one balloon and we'll talk about the others later.
	We have to look at it from an intelligence collection standpoint.
	What's its payload?
	What's its movement?
	Why didn't NORTHCOM, Northern Command, a combatant command that is responsible for the territorial safety of the United States of America, detect this thing when it was hitting the Aleutian Islands in Alaska?
	And then why did it take seven days of intel collection that China was getting live feedback
	Because they were doing diversity and inclusion training.
	No, but the answer is serious.
	Like, I actually, I had this conversation with a bunch of my buddies that were, like, SEAL team guys.
	And I'm like, they've told me, like, they spend more time doing that crap than they do shooting.
	I'm like, I just want the SEALs to be able to go kill the bad guys.
	Like, and I said that publicly in a speech.
	And, like, the left, oh my God, Don Jr.
	thinks this is true.
	And a bunch of them were like, no, it is true.
	Like, stop this shit.
	It's got to stop.
	It's dangerous.
	But it's happening across the board.
	And it's allowing for these weaknesses to be exacerbated and perpetuated.
	Yeah, and let me give you an example.
	So I've never talked about the intelligence framework and how we've set it up publicly, because I never had the opportunity to.
	But during the Trump administration, you can only have so many tier one targets, right?
	And we had China, Russia, terrorism, Afghanistan, Iran, and maybe one other thing as tier one targets.
	That, folk, is your intel collection standpoint to go after those hard targets.
	When you are collecting against them, you know what doesn't happen?
	We don't get blown up here.
	We kill terrorists overseas.
	You know what happens?
	Donald Trump brings home 54 American hostages.
	He winds us out of three never-ending wars without losing a single American civilian casualty.
	But when you switch it off to White Rage and The Sunset and other biodiversity gender projects, I hate to make fun of it, these things happen.
	Four aerial objects over the United States in one week span.
	China laughing all the way home with the intel they got.
	And by the way, no one has actually stepped down to connect with where this balloon was going over.
	It was going over military installations of the United States
	Nuclear launch sites and farmland that the government of China has been buying up in the United States of America since Biden took office.
	This is not a snap-witted decision by the CCP.
	They connect the dots before they launch this thing.
	And do you think this is the only balloon up in the air right now?
	No, of course not.
	What about underwater?
	What about satellites?
	What about Chinese spies that are literally still in America?
	Why hasn't Joe Biden expelled every Chinese diplomat from the United States of America?
	Like, they ended the program that Trump had under DOJ looking into Chinese espionage because, like, this is Biden administration.
	His DOJ ended it because it perpetuated, I guess, racist things against the Chinese.
	I mean, if they're committing espionage, like...
	This is their focus.
	But remember when President Trump expelled the Russian diplomats, right?
	That was an appropriate reaction.
	Of course it was.
	To what Vladimir Putin was doing with us.
	Now, Joe Biden has had that opportunity.
	Not one person in the public, not one person in his cabinet has said, why don't we expel the Chinese diplomats here for that balloon stunt?
	Not one.
	And when Milley went to call his counterpart after we detected the balloon, or I believe we detected it earlier, they just lied to the American people about it.
	That guy wouldn't even take his phone call.
	He wouldn't take the phone call from the guy who said, I'll call China if we're going to attack them during the Trump administration.
	This is how much respect they have for our military leadership, which is why we are in the hole we are in, and that is a loss for America.
	Well, so, okay, like, obviously the balloon stuff seems like it's really real, but it also feels like it could be a distraction.
	I think we're guilty of this on the conservative side.
	We find the one thing that they're doing that's incompetent and we pounce on it.
	But, like, you read the Nord Stream 2 article, right?
	There was that article by a journalist that basically was like, and of course we did it.
	Of course, just like, when was the Wuhan lab leak theory not the most plausible answer?
	So for those of you who didn't know, Nord Stream, the big pipeline, gas pipeline from Russia to Germany and all that stuff, was blown up while we were doing military exercises or shortly thereafter.
	And like, this happens.
	We took out a Russian billion-dollar pipeline, I guess just prior to their invasion of Ukraine, and we're like,
	It was probably the Russians.
	I'm like, why would the Russians blow up their billion-dollar pipeline that would allow them to fuel their war?
	But like, the fact that we do it, it's so obviously us.
	It's a precursor to this.
	Like, is that not an act of war?
	And like, is some of the balloon stuff a distraction from the fact that this stuff came out this week and no one's talking about, we took a preemptive strike against the largest nuclear power in the world who we're now in a proxy war with?
	I'm like, feels like a really big freaking deal.
	It's
	It made no sense and it never does but like everyone the media is doing us such a disservice because they just they take the DNC talking points, they buy the administration talking points, they run with them even if they make no sense whatsoever and like we don't actually have any real information about a plausible act of war against the world's largest nuclear power.
	No, so you're right, and it's a terrible distraction, this whole 99 Red Luftballons thing.
	We're not talking about Hunter Biden's laptop.
	We're not talking about election rigging.
	We're not talking about Joe Biden's failure across the board.
	But worse off, our enemies are using it to gain more access into the United States of America.
	And from a national security intel standpoint, let's go to Nord Stream, okay?
	Remember, the Trump administration shut that pipeline down.
	Shut it down hard.
	We sanctioned them so hard, they didn't have the ability to finish it.
	What did Biden do?
	Let's reverse the clock.
	Biden comes in and- I'm sure that's not done because of anything that they have holding over his head.
	Right, exactly.
	There's no leverage.
	And if we had a real press, they'd ask that question, but no one's even asked.
	I bet you Hunter Biden got an advisory contract on Nord Stream.
	Wait till that document comes out.
	But what I'm saying is, Joe Biden reversed course of the Trump administration policy, allowed Russia to finish the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and then allowed Russia to fund Germany's gas needs in the rest of Western Europe, and an intel collection standpoint against United States interests.
	Now it comes out that America probably blew it up.
	And here's the thing, do we have the capability to do that as a former chief of staff at DOD?
	Yeah, we can do that.
	But the question is,
	Joe Biden screwed up, then, like he always does, has the media try to cover for him, and then inserts some ridiculous national security program to go in there and upend the world order to put us on the brink of World War III, and nobody is talking about it because the media, as you said, doesn't want to hurt Joe Biden and the radical left-wing agenda.
	Well, it also feels like the way they did it, based on the article, it was like the way to circumvent Congress and, you know, this administration, right?
	Trump was going to get us into World War III.
	Trump's the only guy that seemed to keep us out of it, right?
	We're further along that path.
	But also, this is going to be the administration of transparency.
	But they seem to avoid being able to bring this to anyone in Congress.
	Now, again, I understand that if they still had Adam Schiff and Swalwell on the Intel Committee, it would have leaked in seconds to get a nice hit piece on Republicans on CNN.
	You know, how does that happen?
	Because it feels like this is never ending.
	I mean, you were senior counsel to the House Intelligence Committee, right?
	You were the guy, the architect of that memo.
	How do we stop this stuff from happening again?
	What did you do then?
	How did you get the information?
	And like, go into detail.
	How do the Republicans, how does Jim Jordan?
	How does James Comer, how do the guys now that have been tasked with doing this stuff, how do they get this information?
	Because I know they'll try to slow roll it.
	I know everyone's going to put up everything.
	How do we make sure that the Republicans actually follow through on the task that they were given to by the American people?
	That they don't get stalled, that they don't get laid and mired in the bureaucracy.
	How do we get that information?
	How do we make it happen?
	How did you do it for Russia Russia?
	There's a couple of simple ways, and I write about it in my new book, Government Gangsters.
	Sorry.
	No, listen, check it out.
	It's not out yet, but it's coming out.
	But as Donald Trump called it, it's the blueprint for how we win back the White House and win back our agencies in government to work for the American people.
	And how you do it is you have to actually hold these people, these government gangsters, as I call them, accountable.
	What do you do?
	Okay, the same thing we did in Russiagate.
	It's not rocket science.
	You don't have to be a lawyer or some fancy intel guy to figure this stuff out.
	Follow the money, follow the money, follow the money.
	What does that require?
	Subpoenas gotta go out the door at these committees of Weaponization of Government and Commerce Oversight Committee yesterday against the people that we know, like the James Baker and Company that are outside of government and those that are inside of government, the FBI Election Security Task Force.
	Subpoena every single one of those people yesterday.
	Then, subpoena the banking records for every financial transaction between the FBI and Big Tech.
	Between Twitter, between Facebook, and I bet you, I've never said this publicly, I bet you there are dozens of contracts between the FBI and Big Tech for billions of dollars.
	Like, A, they perjure themselves.
	They lied before Congress.
	If I'd have done that in my 50 hours of testimony, I'd be in jail right now.
	I mean, it never ends, but there was nothing there.
	Here, there's real stuff.
	I mean, how did you do it with, you know, Russia, Russia, Russia?
	So you were like the chief guy looking for that.
	You found out, and Devin, who you worked for, was the only man in America, including, frankly, the Republican side, who was actually the only guy 100% right about everything.
	You got it.
	Now, he was discredited.
	He was vilified.
	He was called every name in the book.
	Because, again, we're not in a fair fight.
	We're up against big tech and their trillion-dollar platforms.
	We're up against mainstream media, their trillion-dollar platforms, and all of the Democrat causes.
	We're not on the same footing.
	How do we change that?
	Because I think the American people are finally seeing it.
	It's gone so insane that they can't help but be like, shit, like, OK, this is ridiculous.
	We're not being told the truth.
	But I can see a situation where Republicans go at it the way we always have.
	OK, well, we're doing the best we can.
	Oh, shucks.
	And they just stall us to death.
	They wait till someone else takes over.
	They maybe win back the House.
	They end it all.
	And it's all for nothing.
	Yeah, so let me unpack that.
	I talked about issuing subpoenas for people.
	Then you've got to issue subpoenas for the receipts, the documents.
	Because what I learned in my time in government is that the people that did Russiagate, Comey, Clapper, McCabe, Strzok, all these people, these government gangsters, are so corrupt and so egotistical that they will write down their own wrongdoing because they'll think no one will ever catch us.
	So you have to go get the FBI's documentation, the DOJ's documentation, the DOD's documentation.
	So you've got to subpoena.
	Every single document on these committees.
	We have the authority to do so.
	It's like Schiff with Twitter, where he's literally telling them, like, I mean, even Twitter was like, ah, it's a little too far.
	Like, we're left as fucking lunatics, but like, that's a little bit far.
	We're not going to censor other congressmen to that extent.
	And yet,
	He could do it every day and get on TV and lie about it.
	He can.
	And there's no consequence or ramifications.
	And yet, again, what they did to Devin, they tried to drive him out of Congress.
	You know, he's not that guy, but they would have done anything to make that happen.
	They made it hard for him to do his day job.
	They made it hard for him to maintain, you know, a powerful position on a committee to be able to do that.
	We're not playing the same game the other side is playing.
	They're much more vicious.
	They're much more intelligent about it.
	We're playing a game like we're pretending they're still
	So let's borrow the rules of the road and let's use the January 6th unselect committee.
	I was the first person subpoenaed by the January 6th unselect committee.
	It cost me 250 grand in legal fees.
	Why do these subpoenas have to go out the door immediately?
	Let's do to them what they did to us and our entire team.
	Except the only difference is we were working for America and they're working against America.
	So the subpoena's gotta go out the door.
	Then you start bringing in witnesses for these things called transcribed interviews.
	And they don't have to be public right away.
	You went through it.
	You sit in a closed room for 10 hours, for 20 hours, and you pepper them with questions.
	Then you get the receipts, the subpoena documents that you have, and you give them to the American public.
	And I know your next question.
	Well, these guys aren't gonna give them over.
	These government gangsters are gonna hold these documents because it hides their corruption.
	There is one way in Congress that you can get the documents from every single agency and department, and it's this thing called fencing.
	The Speaker of the House has to come in and give the authority to the Chairs, Comer and Jordan in this instance, to say, you as the Chairman have the ability, now that the subpoenas are out the door, to fence pockets of money from the FBI, from DOJ, from DOD, from CIA.
	And I'm not saying take operational funds.
	I'm saying take the $10 million for the pet project.
	The new building here, the armchair there, the 10 new escalades there.
	And now millions start adding up to 10 million.
	They start adding up to 20 million.
	And you hold it!
	We'll release the funds, and Congress has the ability to do this retroactively.
	Even though it was last year's budget, this year they can hold it.
	And I did it once in Russiagate because Paul Ryan was feckless and only allowed me to do it one time.
	I mean, think about it.
	That's what we're working against, folks.
	So you had this ability.
	We could have discovered the Russia, Russia hoax before spending $50 million in U.S.
	government taxpayer funds, before dragging the country through three years of bullshit, preventing an agenda from
	Being able to be as effective or have the efficacy that it could have had because you actually still had the problem with BS is you still have to deal with BS, right?
	So it was just time and distraction away from getting things done that were great for the American people.
	So listen, Kevin McCarthy was my first interview on this podcast with another person.
	I mean, I think we got to just talk to him.
	We got to get other people to pressure Congress to do this, to make sure we do it.
	Paul Ryan is a weak
	He's a feckless imbecile.
	He wanted to be loved in D.C.
	His wife's a big lib, all this stuff.
	He wanted to be invited to the cool person party.
	And in D.C., what people don't know, you can be a Republican in D.C.
	and have a really easy existence if you're weak.
	If you're a pathetic pussy, you can have a great existence there because they know that when they need you, you'll be there for the Democrats.
	You can go back to wherever you are in the Midwest and have an R by your name and tell
	You'll get a board seat somewhere.
	They'll love you because you're weak.
	We can't allow that to happen, because that's my thing.
	They're going to try to run out the clock.
	It's not going to be like us.
	They're not going to be playing nice.
	They will sit there and delay everything.
	They'll have all the information.
	We could have them dead to rights, but no one's ever going to see it if we don't take these measures.
	And just imagine how much more we would know about Russiagate today if we had used this power before.
	Let me finish the strategy.
	If these committees fenced the money, what we did back then was we fenced like $4 million.
	In government speak, that's like $10.
	Overnight, 1,000 pages of FBI and DOJ documentation showed up to my office doorstep the next morning, including the illegal FISA, including the Bruce Orr 302s, including the bogus Christopher Steele information, including the amounts of money they paid, taxpayer money, to the unlawful sources they used to gin up dirt on Donald Trump, paid for by the DNC.
	That happened overnight in one instance.
	Look at the authority we have with this new speaker and this new team.
	If we sent out just a hundred subpoenas and then used the fencing power on, say, ten of them, we would have enough ammunition to arm the American people with the truth.
	And I'm not saying do a thousand things.
	Yeah.
	Okay, I think that's important, right?
	Because I think, you know, you want to go after the laptop, you want to go after this, you want to China, Russia, this, like, what are the, what would be your, you know, obviously even have, once you get out of sort of that, you have the border and the fentanyl crisis and all, what would be the two, three things that you would say, hey, there's
	This is where we expose the government corruption at the end of this.
	It's probably a little bit under all of them, but what would be the big ones that we should be focusing on?
	Because I think that's part of the other tactic.
	There's so much out there you want to focus, but there's only so much time, only so much energy, only so much manpower to go after it.
	If you're going after a thousand little things, you'll never get to that next level where you're like, oh here.
	Once you have that oh here moment, I feel like
	That's when the floodgates open because you know it's probably the same for each of the thousand things, but you just got to get to one or two of those big ones to expose it all.
	Yeah, so I got three for you.
	So the first one is DOJ-FBI.
	We know the two-tier system of justice.
	We've talked about it with whatever, Hunter Biden's laptop, Russiagate, ringing elections, etc.
	FBI-DOJ, got to go after them hard.
	Two, the border.
	The border, the border, the border.
	We know it's an invasion.
	We know Chinese fentanyl is pouring in through our streets.
	And we know Mayorkas is doing nothing about it because Biden has directed him to do so.
	So let's do those two things.
	The third one is Fauci and COVID.
	That's the third one that we have to go after.
	The vax mandates, the lack of intelligence, and the lying to the American people that cost millions of people their lives.
	If we do those three things, just imagine if we do those three things somewhat well.
	How much information and accountability we can have out there for the American public.
	We could win back the middle that was lied to for the last seven years and we could steer this country back on the course to having government work for the American people.
	Yeah, listen, I think, I think those are so good.
	And again, for me, it's like, there's ones I take personally, like the Hunter Biden thing.
	I take it so personally, but yeah, maybe it is, but you know, maybe it becomes, but there's so many.
	It's so bad.
	And I do think, you know, I think, and I talk about this on the show a lot, I sort of say, like, you got to sort of support the red state economy, like the other side, you know, you see it, but people are finally waking up to it, right?
	People, Disney stock is down because we're sick of getting this crap jammed down our throats.
	Netflix, the same thing.
	I mean, you know, but they all say, well, build your own if you don't like it.
	Well, you do.
	And then Amazon Web Services throws you off their servers and they don't make it that easy.
	I mean, you've,
	Been a big part of that with True Social and just trying to, you know, combat that.
	You know, what are your thoughts on that?
	Because, you know, I'd love not to live in sort of two separate Americas right now, but I don't think we have a choice.
	I mean, the other side, you see it with the difference between the rioters of the 2020 Summer of Love, you know, all over the country, murder, mayhem, looting, arson.
	And you see January 6th, people half of what, you see people that were taking selfies that are in jail for two years.
	And I think the only way to do it is through those investigations we outlined because they all fall under that.
	When you talk DOJ, FBI, you encompass the January 6th folks.
	When you talk COVID vaccine mandates and the farce that they perpetrated on the world, that's all Fauci and COVID.
	But the only way I've learned, in my opinion, that the American people care is not by having government officials or former government officials recite to them what they think happened.
	Show them the documents.
	Get out the proof, like we did during Russiagate.
	Don't listen to me.
	Don't listen to that chairman.
	Don't listen to this high-ranking former official.
	Look at this FBI memo.
	Look at this DOD memo.
	Look at Fauci's written word.
	Look at him lying to the American people after he read an intelligence report one day and said the exact opposite thing the next day.
	There is nothing, in my opinion, more powerful to redirect Americans to say, OK, we were lied to.
	Because that's the hard part.
	Didn't James Comer, like today, said, well, it's not exactly what I said.
	I'm like, no, bullshit.
	51 Intel people told us that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinfo.
	I'd be willing to bet that 100% of them knew that was not the case, but they had a result that they wanted to get to.
	They knew they'd be getting positions back within government.
	They knew they'd be getting a contributorship on CNN or MSDNC or one of the leftist, you know, just propaganda creation machines.
	I bet you they all knew that that wasn't the case.
	And I bet you all of those same people knew that Russia, Russia, Russia was bullshit from moment number one, or at least within the first few weeks of it.
	They knew it was there, but they stayed silent on that and did the opposite to protect Joe Biden and the Democrats.
	And that's a great point.
	So the other piece of this entire thing that we're talking about is the fake news mafia.
	You have a great point.
	James Clapper today actually going after Politico.
	Can you believe it?
	Clapper, the guy who signed the letter, the former head of the CIA and director of national intelligence, along with former SecDefs and 50 other people, signed this memo.
	And the letter and the article were good for
	Two plus years, but now you have these former government gangsters going back and saying, Politico actually did us a disservice.
	That is the perfect example for the American people to say, an election was rigged, they were in on it, they got caught, and now they're blaming the media that helped put it up.
	This is like their mea culpa.
	You know, they could have spoken up during this whole time, but it's like, because there's no consequence.
	Again, they got, what people don't understand is it's not like, oh, well, we got them now.
	It's like, no, no, no.
	They got what they wanted.
	They were able to complete their objective.
	It was always a lie, and that didn't matter.
	They got what they wanted, and now they say, oh, my bad, it was a little bit, it was a little bit off, but, you know, it's two years later, doesn't really matter, we're not gonna cry over spilled milk.
	I got a consequence for you, though.
	That this is pretty cool and I kind of just thought of it on the spot.
	So all these people, Clapper, the former SecDefs, Leon Panetta, all these guys that signed this letter, you know how they make their money?
	They still have an active security clearance.
	They still have an active top-secret security clearance.
	You know who gives it to them?
	The United States Congress.
	You know what we can do?
	Take the money that sponsors their active security clearances and shut them down for lying to the American people and rigging a presidential and congressional election.
	Okay, so that's another one we've got to bring to these guys.
	Sorry to add another one!
	I want them to be proactive.
	But these are big jobs.
	It's big jobs.
	There's a lot of stuff going on.
	There's a lot of distractions.
	There's a lot of, again, shiny objects over here.
	Don't focus on that.
	But these are big ones.
	And I think we have to do that.
	And I think the people watching have to understand the inside baseball.
	And maybe that's what's sort of missing.
	I got a lot of crap initially when I was supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker.
	I'm like, I want this guy!
	But that guy has no chance of winning.
	We're good.
	Anything based on fact or reality in reality.
	So but these are big ones that I think we can bring to them.
	And I think we have to because that's how things are going to get done.
	And I think what I've been really happy with what McCarthy has done so far and the people he's put on there and the ideas and the things that they're taking on.
	But we've got to make sure that we follow through in the proper way.
	He's responding to a lot of what happened because there was debate.
	And I think that's important.
	I knew a lot of that stuff he was going to do beforehand.
	That's why I was supportive.
	To begin with, but we got to get it to that next level so that we actually get over the line and they don't just stall us where everything's waiting in a box to be delivered and there's an election.
	It's like, just kidding.
	We're not giving you crap.
	And they're playing that game, for sure.
	And here's the thing even about our Republicans and the guys we like, they are in an elected office for every two or six years.
	So unless the constituents remind them on a daily basis that this one investigation is important about DOJ, or this one investigation about the border and COVID, or this one investigation about Fauci, unless they are reminded every single day by the Americans who ask you when you're on the road and you talk to the millions of Americans that you talk to, then they will not follow through because the bandwidth,
	Look, I'm telling you from being on the inside during Russiagate and quarterbacking that thing, everybody had a million and one ideas when I was running this investigation.
	Why aren't you doing this?
	What about calling this guy?
	What about doing that?
	You just gotta focus on a couple of lines of effort.
	We went after the money and DOJ, the DNC, the FBI, and the media, and we won.
	And that playbook can win again if we just use it on the right targets.
	I think that's right.
	I mean, what we saw with the release of some of the Twitter files, we understand, like, hey, no one's, like, no one's pretending that we're in, like, a fair fight anymore.
	So I think that was good.
	I think you see, you know, James Baker and the FBI and Twitter trying to actively suppress this.
	I mean, you know, you see the connection, obviously, with Russia, Biden, Hunter, all of this stuff all coming together.
	But yeah, we got to focus on those couple things so that we can get, you know, out there.
	So, give us a little bit, like, I think we want to, you know, there's so much here we could talk about that one for weeks, but give us a little bit, like, behind the scenes working in the Trump administration.
	You know, what did you like about it?
	What were the challenges?
	What was the, you know, the good, the bad, and the ugly?
	Was there a story that sort of gives you, indicative of the insanity, you know, obviously, within the confines of your, you know, classified...
	Yeah, no, look, so working for President Trump, you know, some of the greatest jobs I'll ever have.
	Chief of Staff at DOD, Deputy Director of Intel, and I also ran counterterrorism for him at the White House.
	And he said, look, on these lines of effort, let's do a couple of things.
	Wipe out Al Qaeda's senior leadership, kill the emirs of ISIS, bring home American hostages, end the forever wars, and protect America.
	That's a pretty apolitical mission.
	And we added meat to every one of those lines of effort by bringing home 54 American hostages, more than every president before him combined.
	And we didn't brag about it by killing Baghdadi, by killing Soleimani.
	I was in the Situation Room when these calls were being made.
	Wait, wait.
	Do you mean austere religious scholar?
	I don't know.
	But there is one story for me that encapsulated, and I've never told it publicly, about working for President Trump and why we were so motivated to put the mission first, as I write about in my book, Governing Gangsters.
	We were giving the highest presidential honor we could give to a clandestine unit for an operation that we did to safeguard the world.
	And we were down there at the unit headquarters, and President Trump's there.
	And we had an American hostage being held or captured somewhere in Africa.
	And so I take the boss and I pull him aside and I say, sir, I know you're busy with this stuff, but it took me five minutes to explain it to him.
	He assembled his team and he goes, so what's the ask?
	And he goes, sir, we need your authority to retrieve this American hostage.
	He goes, yeah, go after it.
	What's the next target?
	And it wasn't funny or comical.
	It was just methodical.
	He was like, of course we protect Americans.
	And you know what the awesome part is?
	This raid happened.
	It was one of the fastest raids that ever occurred without loss of life.
	The quickest retrieval.
	And it happened because Donald Trump said to do it.
	Even though Mark Esper, his Secretary of Defense at the time, tried to abort that mission, it happened because of his courageous leadership.
	And he said, as a Commander-in-Chief, we are going unless there is threat to operational force of mission.
	And when you talk to the guys, like you guys know, the SEAL guys and all these guys and our Special Forces operators and our brave warriors, you ask them, when you're downrange with them,
	You learn whether or not they can be in trouble.
	And what President Trump understood more than anyone was never jeopardize U.S.
	soldiers' lives unnecessarily, but utilize them at every instance to safeguard America, whether it was killing hostages or bringing home, or excuse me, killing terrorists or bringing home hostages.
	And in that one moment,
	You should have seen the uproar in the room because we were we were just so motivated to get after it.
	And that's the type of commander in chief he was.
	We knew we could rely on him to put the American first mission out there.
	And we knew we could rely on him to carry the flack.
	We're good to go.
	In Afghanistan, specifically.
	Should we stay or should we go?
	And every single one of them said, it's time to leave, sir.
	And we left and not one of them died.
	Because we did it not for the headline.
	They accelerated by two weeks.
	They get it in the fighting season, not when they're in like the winter cave season.
	And like, of course they were going to take it back over that way.
	Like, but then we give them the biometric scanners and the, I mean, what would you, okay.
	Trump 24.
	What would you do differently in these institutions?
	You know, because again, I think one of the things that was great was coming in without any governmental experience.
	But I think that was also one of the things that they weaponized against you, because they could slow roll.
	They put in someone, no, no, this guy would be great.
	He's a real big Republican rhino.
	You know what I mean?
	Like it was never going to do any of the things.
	What would you do differently?
	You know, perhaps both in government and then if we broke it down, if you were in charge of the FBI, what reforms would you make there to
	What would you do if you were in charge to prevent that from happening again?
	You know, it's one thing.
	Personnel.
	But how do you figure that out?
	Because in business, I always felt like you could find people's motivation because it's usually about money, or you're trying to win, or get a deal, or get an asset.
	In politics, it's different.
	It's like everyone's playing a game of, if this administration's going to be gone, I've got to make sure to please the rhino that's going to be next in line so I get that name.
	It's such an incestuous world that you think it's going to be right.
	You think the guy that's giving you advice is going to be giving you real advice, but he's not.
	And it's all a setup for political capital to be cashed in later on.
	I agree.
	No pun intended.
	I agree.
	And that's why we went after things like the defense industrial complex.
	I mean, guys like Mark Esper leave to get their $10 million Raytheon.
	That stuff has to end.
	Like Donald Trump came out and said already, one policy thing was, if you're in government, you can't go work in private tech.
	You can't go work in these big industries.
	But how you get it right is, and look, when y'all came in for the first time, I'd already been in government for, I think, 13 years.
	Worked for multiple administrations.
	You were right to entrust the senior leadership in government to do what?
	Work for the American people, not weaponize them.
	The power that they have in all of these things, it's hard to fathom.
	For me as an outsider, I was like, there's no way they could be this basically anti-American.
	And yet they are.
	So the hard lift is done.
	The hard lift is done, right?
	We've proven, whether it's through Russiagate or whether it's through Jan 6th or Hunter Biden's laptop, we've proven these corrupt actors.
	So now the hard lift of saying the director of the FBI was corrupt, the AG is corrupt, the DOD leadership is corrupt.
	We now know that.
	We've seen that.
	We can show the American people tangible, actual efforts to say, we've got to wipe these people out.
	The other thing I learned is, OK, who's the bench?
	Who do we bring in?
	And what I can tell you from my 16 years in government, that I promise you, whether it's the FBI or DOJ or DOD or CIA, that bench exists to put these people in positions of power.
	And I don't just mean cabinet secretaries.
	This is where we went wrong a little bit.
	If we get the top one person in, we're good.
	Yeah, no, it's actually, the top one doesn't matter because they, they, everywhere along the chain, you know, I heard that, you know, my father would give an order, get this done.
	Okay, sure.
	Well, what happened with that?
	Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
	Two weeks goes by and it just, it never ends.
	You actually got to get the guys below, you know, all the team to make sure that happens.
	No, so you're totally right.
	And the one thing we have to do is make sure we get the guys that are not on the team, America, out.
	And that's what I did in my book.
	And that's probably why the government won't release my manuscript.
	I named every government gangster by name that failed America in every single agency and department.
	So they are on a blacklist.
	Okay, so there's government gangsters.
	When's it coming out?
	When the government releases my book.
	It's out for pre-sale on governmentgangsters.com and you can get a copy right now, but it's been three months and they still won't release my manuscript.
	That just tells you how on point we are.
	But what I'm proud of is the men and women I served with in the Trump administration in multiple agencies and departments.
	I've worked with all those people all over the world and they are ready to be the next deputies, the next undersecretaries.
	So basically I'm calling you to be like, hey we need some personnel help.
	If you do that, half of Congress is going to be really ticked off.
	Hey, guess what?
	That's OK.
	I don't care if 100% is really ticked off.
	And that was the point.
	It was like, Trump didn't do this because he needed the money or because we're the only ones that lost.
	I needed this like a hole in the fucking head.
	But I actually believe in this stuff.
	So once we were in the fight, it's like, I'm going to keep fighting.
	It's why I'm doing this because I don't believe the media is serving us well.
	There's so few people, even those that play the hard ass, so few people are willing to actually take it where it needs to go.
	They always soften it down because they understand there's a consequence if you're a conservative.
	Speaking of those, we talked about January 6th a little bit earlier.
	Where did it all go wrong?
	Again, violent offenders aside.
	Yeah.
	You know, if people did something, you know, truly violent, I, you know, I saw some of that, but like 10, 12 people, I don't know, maybe, you know, not, not a lot.
	And I saw a lot of people walking in velvet robes, taking selfies, maybe, you know, that are in jail two years later.
	What was wrong?
	How much of that was known or actually safeguarded against?
	Because I think a lot of people have been vilified about this thing.
	And a lot of people are in jail two years later.
	And yet it seems like it was actually a setup.
	Yeah, so I was Chief of Staff at DOD on January 6th, okay?
	So me and the SecDef were responsible for that entire National Guard mission set.
	And if you listen to nothing else I'm about to say, go read the January 6th Committee's report on the Trump-DOD's actions on January 6th.
	So this is their report?
	So this is a totally biased, partisan hack?
	Yeah.
	They still found that we acted without delay, without unnecessarily delaying anyone, authorized the National Guard appropriately, and secured the facility.
	Now if you go into the weeds of that, which is why the January 6th Committee didn't want my transcript released, and it was the last one they released,
	Four days before January 6, I'm in the Oval Office talking about a very sensitive operation with Donald Trump.
	And he goes, by the way, if you need up to 20,000 National Guard men and women authorized.
	Roger that, sir.
	We got the first leg of that law done.
	Then we go to Pelosi and Bowser, and you know what they do?
	In writing, they refuse.
	So this goes to your point.
	Why would they refuse National Guard enforcement assistance?
	By the way, there was State of the Union last week, and I watched them put up fencing.
	You know, they won't put a fence up at our border.
	That would actually stop fentanyl, sex trafficking, human trafficking, you know, crime, murder, rape, you know, everything.
	But they put it around the Capitol.
	Nothing there.
	And yet, there were, presumably, there were some people talking about, even if it was going to be a peaceful protest, like, hey, maybe you want to take some precautions.
	But they knew about it, and they actively denied it.
	They did that.
	They didn't have the Capitol Police there, and they didn't have uniformed FBI, whose mission it is to secure the Capitol there.
	They could have had all those things and the fence.
	Now, let's fast forward.
	They were too busy worried about, you know, moms who don't want, you know, their children being indoctrinated, calling them domestic terrorists, I guess.
	But it goes to your point about
	What were they thinking?
	They're not stupid.
	Pelosi's not stupid.
	Schumer's not stupid.
	They were thinking, okay, how do we maximize politically the next stage?
	So go to January 6th.
	Now, when we could have staged 10,000 National Guardsmen and Women days in advance, and we didn't, Pelosi calls us, we're in the Secretary of Defense's office, and it's the middle of the incident on the Capitol Hill, and she goes, excuse me, Mr. Secretary, when are Congressional Food Services gonna be restored?
	I'm not kidding.
	Not making that up.
	We had already flown here today.
	Nancy Pelosi could get on TV and all these other leaders and talk about the greatest threat to democracy and many said it was worse than 9-11 and worse than Pearl Harbor.
	It was all bullshit, but that was her concern.
	That was her statement.
	And mind you, we had already flown congressional leadership and military aircraft to a safe location, but we'll talk about that later.
	So now we're like, ma'am, our priority is assisting law enforcement.
	We are the National Guard.
	You do not want uniformed military officers.
	Oh, by the way, it's illegal for us to deploy domestically.
	And they finally gave us the authorization we needed to complete the second part of the law.
	We had the fastest deployment of the United States National Guard to the District of Columbia
	Since the Revolutionary War.
	And it was the largest cold start since World War II.
	We kitted up, deployed, and employed 15,000 National Guard men and women in less than three hours to safeguard the capital.
	And then you talk about fencing.
	That night I called DHS and other companies or other agencies.
	I said, where's the no-climb fence?
	We don't know.
	We don't have one.
	I went out and bought one.
	Put it up overnight with our brave National Guard men and women.
	These are all things they could have done to secure the security of the Capitol, but they chose not to do it.
	And that's the thing people need to take away from January 6th, especially when the January 6th committee tells you, we did it right under the Trump administration.
	That tells you everything you need to know about their entire investigation.
	But it doesn't matter, because that's not... No, but it doesn't matter, because in the eyes of the average American, they'll never hear that story.
	Hopefully they'll watch this, hopefully you share it with your friends, but like, they'll never hear that.
	For two years they were berated with, it's an affront to democracy, it's this, that, and the other, and it was all garbage.
	Insurrection.
	Insurrection.
	I mean, it's like, the dumbest, like...
	First and only unarmed insurrection in the history of insurrections.
	It's never been done before, but, you know, they want you to believe this stuff.
	So, you know, I guess while we're talking about sort of the government lying to you, you know, recently there's been the information that's come out about the CIA and the deep state being involved in both the removal of Nixon, the CIA's murder of JFK.
	What was your reaction to that?
	As someone who knows sort of how the sausage is made,
	You know, and it seems, again, it seems now, you know, 50 years later, obviously this stuff was happening, and obviously they were doing it, but like, now that it's out there, and everyone's sort of pretending, like, how do the Amer- how should the American people look at this stuff, knowing that it's probably going on right now in Russiagate, and it's probably going on else- what are the other ones that are out there that, you know, no one's really talking about, that is probably being manipulated by these agencies?
	Yeah, look, because of their past actions and recent actions, Russiagate onward, it's right to be skeptical of everything from, you know, what we talked about JFK, Nixon, and onwards.
	But I think for me, you know, having worked on the actual JFK files, which I can't get into, but the Trump administration actually did do a declassification of a portion of it.
	And from my standpoint, and I'm probably not going to be a fan favorite for this one, we put out everything that everyone needs to know.
	Having read everything in there, it's already out there.
	And so I think what we're doing now is chasing around shiny objects and the left is out there saying they're talking about the JFK assassination instead of talking about whatever's important to us, right?
	Yeah, we're on the brink of war.
	But there's a balance.
	There's a balance.
	I think the balance needs to be what should we question our government about?
	And the things that we need to be questioning them about are things like election integrity, COVID, the border, and things that we talked about.
	Not necessarily specific instances that happened 20, 30, 40 years ago.
	But things that our modern electorate remembers that they were lied to about.
	And that's how we change the mission going forward, in my opinion.
	I don't think we need to get bogged down on certain deep dives of, you know, government.
	I guess that is the distraction taking you away from Russiagate.
	I hate to say it, but some of them are actually conspiracies.
	A lot of them aren't.
	But some of them just are.
	I'd say the conspiracy theorists are batting a lot better batting average than the experts in the media.
	You mentioned a couple times election integrity.
	I think that's obviously an important one.
	But you know, from what you know, from the Intel side of stuff, being both in the House side, being in all...
	How bad is it?
	Because, you know, again, I don't know that there's, there's not one system that's being utilized, and I don't think we should be falling for the, you know, the ghost of Hugo Chavez came back to manipulate the Dominion machines.
	Like, I don't, that's, that's the distraction.
	But I do feel there is a lot of evidence stuff going on on the ground.
	It doesn't take a lot of people, and they don't have to necessarily be synced with anything, to change these things.
	I do find a lot of coincidence that seems to only break to the benefit of one side.
	You know, what are your thoughts on that?
	So I think one of the biggest lessons people learn from the last two election cycles is how American constitutional republic actually works.
	It is not for the federal government to go out there and dictate how elections are supposed to be run.
	That is a statewide matter and people have learned the importance of state secretaries of state and state AGs and state gubernatorial positions.
	That's great.
	Where we failed in some of those states like Arizona, Nevada and others was to get people elected to those positions to change the rules
	To secure elections.
	I think that's step one.
	Step two is, look, this is another thing that I say when I go out on the road and speak.
	They're like, how do we make it so we win the next election cycle?
	You want to know how we do it?
	Go big on election ballot harvesting.
	I don't really like it, but listen, that's the rule of the land.
	This has been like a tenet of this show from episode one.
	I'm going to get criticized for this.
	At this point, the candidate almost doesn't matter.
	Jon Fetterman, who's basically one step short of a vegetable, maybe he's one step ahead of the average.
	Got elected a senator in Pennsylvania.
	I imagine the average person that voted for him in Philadelphia or Allegheny County or Pittsburgh, like, probably couldn't tell you who's actually on there.
	But they handed someone a ballot and filled it in for the guy that was going to just rubber stamp whatever Chuck Schumer wanted.
	I can't imagine any informed voter watching that debate and watching a guy not be able to form a complete sentence.
	Now there's news this week.
	He comes out.
	Well, he may have suffered permanent brain damage from campaigning too hard.
	He didn't do anything.
	He didn't do anything.
	But, like, we all knew it was a problem, but the Democrats didn't find a problem with this.
	They were like, no, no, no.
	They could have had a Conor Lamb.
	They could have had someone that at least had the basics of cognitive function, and it didn't matter.
	They wanted this guy, and they still got him in there.
	If that isn't the first and foremost step to, like, hey, how do you win a national election?
	No one's paying attention.
	So you're right.
	We have to be playing that game.
	Now, what people don't understand, well, why didn't you fix it while you were president?
	It's a state's issue.
	People have to also understand how the sausage is made.
	That's why I think you being on here is so important.
	They used to do that to me with the Hearing Protection Act for suppressors and stuff.
	I was like, yeah, get Congress to vote on it.
	You're not going to do that with a weakling like Paul Ryan.
	Why didn't you get the border wall built earlier?
	Because Paul Ryan wouldn't bring it to Congress.
	We had all three houses.
	We could have done it, but he wanted to be loved, not vilified, in D.C.
	So he didn't do it.
	The president can't unilaterally just do this.
	And so people have to understand how that works.
	So to win, we actually have to play by the rules that were created and weaponized during COVID, you know, with state legislators and governors on the Democrat side.
	So to actually be able to effectuate change that makes sense, we have to play the game the way they are playing it.
	Then we can change the rules.
	To make it fair.
	I mean, we have socialists in Europe that are like, I can't believe it that you have two month long election day and there's no ballot ID and they just send random shit.
	And then they'll get on TV.
	It was the safest and most secure election.
	Why?
	There's not one shred of evidence to say that it's the safest and most secure.
	Other than they said that and the media ran with the talking point.
	So they point to countless examples of someone saying it without actually any evidence behind it.
	So that's a huge aspect of what we need to be doing.
	No, you're totally right.
	So, when we go on the road, and we'll be on the road with Donald Trump, and you, and me, and so many others, and we'll take on those questions, and the more we get that message through to our base, to our leadership structure, to say, you may not like it, and we don't like, of course we don't like ballot harvesting, but what I don't like, what I like less is losing.
	Correct.
	What I like less is not being in power.
	Listen, it's like cancel culture.
	I'd love for there not to be cancel culture.
	I'd love for it to not exist.
	I'd love to be able to go and give my money to a company that I like and not have them weaponize it against everything that I believe.
	But that doesn't exist right now.
	We have been playing that game.
	We have been turning the other cheek to a side that would put us in jail.
	They literally put you in the gulags.
	You.
	Me.
	And so many of the people watching this show, we gotta stop enabling that by not supporting it.
	We gotta vote with our wallets.
	We have to take the time to find those companies.
	We have to do that.
	And when we do that, maybe we can one day get to a point
	We're just back to normal.
	But the other side has made a career and a very successful job of weaponizing every institution out there against us.
	And they've laughed their asses off as we've pretended like it's not a problem.
	And, like, we can't play that game if we want an existence, if we want a future for conservative values, for American freedom, American exceptionalism, our belief systems.
	Because it's all on the table for the other side.
	And, like, if we don't think that's the case, then you haven't been watching for the last six years.
	And conservatives gotta understand that you can't go out there and find 75 million people that are going to agree with every single position you take.
	99% will blow it because they'll take a 51% win and run and they live to fight another day and they claw back.
	The next day it's death by a thousand cuts.
	We sit there, we take some principled position on something that makes no sense.
	We blow a huge win.
	For something that doesn't even mean anything to most people, and we get nothing for it.
	And that's maybe the greatest takeaway of the night, is whatever you learned here tonight, or whatever we've talked about, if you can take the top priorities of how do we safeguard our border, how do we take on China, Russia, Iran, how do we make it so drugs aren't pouring into our streets, how do we safeguard our communities and make sure education is what it should be and not CRT and things like that.
	If we can agree on those fundamental things, we are going to win.
	We're not gonna win by a little, we're gonna win by a lot.
	We're actually winning the cultural war.
	In my opinion.
	Reasonable people are looking at what's going on, whether it's censorship, whether it's the trans insanity, and they're being like, okay, we're actually for the first time winning it.
	Abortion at 10 months, wonderful, what could go wrong?
	These people are nuts.
	And finally, the pendulum has overcorrected so far that the American people are seeing it.
	But we have to also be able to act
	We're good to go.
	No, and sort of the last component of all this, and you get asked this probably more than I do, what can I do?
	What can I do, John Q. Voter, what can I do?
	You know what you can do?
	Pick one or two issues, education, border, drug, whatever, kitchen table, economics.
	Run for your school board.
	And just get out there and build a platform.
	Get on Truth Social.
	I had no social media until my former boss and former former boss founded Truth Social and made me join the board.
	And now I have a million followers.
	But it's not because of me being me.
	It's the substance of what I'm saying.
	And I'm going to do one little shameless plug for my passion project if I can.
	It's the most important thing and it relates directly to what you can do as one person.
	It's called Fight With Cash.
	FightWithCash.com, with a K, is an actual charity.
	We stood up because he said, what can we do to help others with what we've been able to do for ourselves?
	And we raise money for active duty soldiers.
	We funded whistleblower campaigns.
	We funded legal defense funds.
	Love it.
	And we have a whole bunch of merch on there.
	And people are like, oh, you're making money.
	We don't take a dime in profit.
	We put it back out the door.
	We gave away $100,000 last year.
	We're going to give away $1 million this year.
	Fight With Cash.com.
	And by the way, if he's lying, you know the left will finally- Yeah, they'll come after me!
	If one cent slips, you'll be in the gulags for the rest of your life, so we know that that's true.
	We have a special for being on the Don Jr.
	Show, and I'm so humbled that you had me on.
	We have our Orange Man Bad lineup, and we have an Orange Man Bad hoodie and beanie that we put on sale just tonight at fightwithcash.com, and all of the proceeds, like anything else on there, will go to help the education
	I don't know.
	I love that, guys.
	Cash, thank you so much.
	Guys, also check out his book, Government Gangsters.
	If the government gangsters ever let the book, hopefully it'll be a window into what's really going on.
	I want to also, again, thank our sponsors.
	Go to Gold Co.
	Check out DonJrGold.com.
	If you're looking to diversify your portfolio, this is a company that would sponsor a show like this.
	That takes guts.
	It's not easy.
	Support them.
	If you need a refund, if you have W-2 employees and you're a small business, visit Max
	Refund.com slash Don Jr.
	D-O-N-J-R to qualify to get money back again.
	I think you do a much better job with your money in your small business or otherwise than any of the clowns in big government.
	So check them out, but do it through that URL so people see that you're getting it from here.
	It'll allow those guys and
	Let those guys know to sponsor more of this kind of content, you know, rather than the milquetoast stuff that you'll get elsewhere.
	So that's a really critical part of it.
	Thank you guys so much for tuning in.
	I really appreciate it.
	We'll be back on Thursday, same time.
	We'll have a lot more fun to talk about.
	I want to really thank you guys for the support.
	It means the world to us.
	Cash, you've been awesome.
	Thank you, buddy.
	Great seeing you again.
	And guys,
	For those of you who are on Locals, I'll be doing a couple minutes taking live questions on the Locals platform.
	For those of you who have subscribed to Rumble and their Locals platform, check it out.
	I'll do my usual Q&A after here.
	I'll let Cash get out of here, but I'll switch over there and be on there in a few minutes.
	And we'll see you there, and hopefully I can answer any of your questions sort of live stream and direct with you guys.
	If you haven't checked it out already, do so, and I'll see you there in a few seconds.
