| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
you you
you triggered we have a big show tonight and a lot to cover
We'll be joined by a great reporter from the state of Minnesota, Liz Collin, who actually broke the story surrounding Tim Waltz and the men who served under him in the National Guard and say that he abandoned them.
That has probably been one of the most dominant stories I've seen on the Internet, maybe in quite some time.
It's absolutely disgusting, but we're going to get into the details of that by the person who broke it, by the person from his home state who understands just how radical a pick this was.
This isn't the homely Midwesterner that we're being told.
This is a radical individual.
This is by far the most radical leftist ticket ever put out there.
And seeing as they're hiding from the press, I think they know it.
And they're trying to make sure that you don't.
We're also going to be talking with the great Kash Patel, who has a new movie coming out called Government Gangsters after his book.
And we'll also have the latest on the Secret Service failures and what it means for our intelligence community more broadly.
Remember, Cash was in that world, he came from that space, he understands it, and we're gonna get into the details and continue to break this stuff because they're trying to sweep this assassination attempt under the rug.
They've done a pretty good job of it.
It's been about three weeks and you almost hear nothing about it.
I have a feeling I have a feeling that if it was anyone other than Trump, that would not be the case.
But anyway, my father also had a press conference today at Mar-a-Lago, and we'll get into the details of all of that.
I wonder why Kamala Harris is not doing the same.
The media is letting her hide in the basement, just like Joe Biden.
So make sure we call them out.
Also, make sure that we're liking, sharing, and subscribing.
Okay, we need to be able to get this message out.
The media is clearly never going to do that job for us.
Okay, so it's because of you guys that we're able to get it out there.
So like, share, subscribe, download the Rumble app, send it to your friends.
If you get your podcast on Spotify, iTunes, podcast, whatever it may be, We'll also put the show up there so you can send it to your friends if they get it that way.
Riddle me this, 1984.
You lose weight, Don?
No, I'm a fat bastard right now.
So thank you, though, for the thought.
I appreciate it.
Maybe the TV is actually making me look skinny, but I ain't skinny right now, I promise.
Okay.
As we get, we'll also get into the news rundown.
But again, the rest of big tech and the advertising cartel is stacked against us.
We'll talk about that.
Chris Pawlowski, CEO of Rumble, Elon Musk of X actually took on those cartels.
And it looks like they did a pretty good job.
We'll get into that in the news rundown.
So we have to work harder And make sure that we break through all of that noise to actually grow this movement.
We're not on equal footing.
It doesn't matter.
It is what it is.
We just have to fight, fight, fight.
Don't ever stop.
Don't ever give up.
And also guys, with all of the uncertainty and the volatility in the markets, it's important as ever to support independent media.
and also to prepare and protect yourself from a times of crisis, okay?
One way to do that is one of our great sponsors, the Birch Goal Group.
If you text Don Jr.
to the number 989898, you can learn more, you can get your free info kit, you can educate yourself to protect from some of the disasters that we seem to see looming on the horizon each and every day.
So joining me now from the Birch Goal Group is Philip Patrick.
Philip, good to have you with us, man.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
So talk about what happened in the financial markets on Monday for those, you know, who maybe just, you know, hey, there was a dip in the stock market, but it seems like it was a lot more than that.
It certainly was.
I mean, the Biden administration's Goldilocks narrative, I think, was overrun by by angry bears on Monday.
And forgive me if this sounds glib, but it's essentially true.
Monday, we saw a massive wave of risk aversion sweep the globe.
Since mid-22, investors I think have been treating bad economic news as good news, right?
Hoping that economic distress would convince the Fed to drop interest rates and keep them low in order to save the economy.
I think this week they finally realized that bad economic news is not actually good at all.
Yeah.
Specifically though, what bad economic news are they talking about?
What changed from a week or two ago today to today that led to this?
It's a great question.
I mean, three things.
Firstly, we saw the June jobs report come in 62% below expectations and official unemployment ticked up to 4.3%.
That's the highest level since October of 2021.
Secondly, the unemployment report triggered a closely watched economic indicator called the SAM rule, which essentially is accurately predicted the last 11 recessions with no false positives.
In other words, the US economy is either in or likely to be in recession very, very soon.
And thirdly, and this one came out of left field, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates from 0% to 0.25, and it sparked a crisis in the yen carry trade.
So what's the key takeaway for our viewers as it relates to gold?
What does it all mean for gold?
How can gold be a good hedge for them if they're worried about that uncertainty?
It's a good question.
I mean, what we're seeing right now is high volatility and that in on itself is a bad thing.
There's a phenomenon called volatility clustering.
Basically, it boils down to if you get one day of high volatility, you're likely to see more to follow.
We know a recession has been looming for a long time under this administration.
It's coming home to roost.
And the way to protect that is to look at safe haven assets that are geared to grow in this climate.
There's a reason central banks around the world, hedge funds around the world are buying gold.
And it's to protect against the realities of the Biden administration.
So it's as simple as that.
I think everybody should be looking at precious metals as a way to sort of Biden proof our portfolios because we're going to need it.
Well, Philip, thank you so much.
We'll continue covering all of this.
I love, you know, getting the insights and explaining it to people.
So if you're interested in finding out more, learning a little bit more, text, just text it, Don Jr.
to the number 98-98-98.
Just type in 98-98-98 at the top, type D-O-N-J-R in the bottom, hit send.
You can get a free info kit.
You can learn about gold.
You can learn how to convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
You can do that tax and penalty free.
These are all big deals.
So we got to think about that.
And again, educate yourself, take that opportunity to learn more.
That's what this is all about.
So thank you again.
And guys, with that, we're going to get to the top headlines.
So Tim Walz.
Kamala Harris's VP pick needs to quit horsing around and answer some serious questions about his military service.
For starters, Walsh lied about carrying a weapon in war.
Watch this video that Kamala Harris's own campaign posted.
They seem to be as clueless as we all imagined.
CDC research.
We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states and we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at.
To be clear, Waltz has never seen combat or been anywhere near it.
That was such an egregious lie that even CNN, even CNN is calling him out for it.
The second part of it, though, is this notion about the claim about being in actual combat.
That's different.
Waltz did make a comment speaking to a group, he's done it a couple of times, where he has used language that has suggested that he carried weapons in a fighting situation.
As you know, with your contact with the military, I know from coming from a military family, there is a difference between being in a combat area Being involved at a time of war and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you.
There is no evidence that at any time Governor Walz was in a position of being shot at and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was.
So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there.
Do you think this is something that the campaign needs to address in a bigger way than they have?
Yeah, they should clean it up.
It's conceivable that he's been loose with his language or said stuff that doesn't... People are human beings on these campaign trails.
But now he's running for a major position.
If he needs to clean it up, clean it up.
Wow, that's CNN.
Imagine what they'd say if this was J.D.
Vance, who actually has seen combat, according to the United States Marine Corps.
So kind of a big deal.
I'm sure they won't do anything about it because the media is going to sweep this one under the rug like they do everything else.
Harris's campaign isn't even defending Waltz or Denying that he lied.
They are just hoping that the press will move on.
But this lie about being in war is just scratching the surface.
Waltz has lied about so much more.
He's lied about his rank.
He lied about being an Afghan veteran, and it's also clear that he deserted his own men when faced with the prospect of going to Iraq.
Waltz wrote himself in March of 2005 that he knew his battalion might get deployed to Iraq and said he had a responsibility to serve if called upon.
Strangely enough, two months later, Waltz left the National Guard and ditched his battalion as they were getting ready to go to Iraq.
He left his soldiers to go to D.C.
Today, in the Daily Mail, a woman named Cathy Miller spoke to the Daily Mail herself about her son, who died when he was 19 in Iraq.
He served in Waltz's unit.
Miller told the mail that Walt found the best way to run away.
It was the coward's way out.
And here's an interview Liz Collin, who we'll be talking to with shortly, did with one of the men who served with Walt directly.
He abandoned us.
What the hell kind of leader does that?
As soon as the shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit.
There's more to Tim Walsh, though, than stolen valor.
This is the guy that let Minneapolis burn while Kamala Harris then bailed out the rioters.
He sat back while BLM destroyed the city and didn't call in the National Guard, even when the liberal Minneapolis mayor asked for it.
Walsh was even fine with the police being defunded.
Check this out.
On June 7th, 2020, the Minneapolis City Council pledged to disband its police department.
I mean, what could go wrong, folks?
Just three days later at a press conference, Tim Walz brought this up and didn't even condemn it a little bit.
Physical security piece that is very real and you can feel it amongst people needs to be the start.
And then the city council in Minneapolis is starting the conversation.
How do we envision security in our communities?
How do we envision what that's going to look like?
They are starting the conversation.
What?
Seriously?
He talks about disbanding a police department like it's a discussion over what kind of takeout to get for dinner.
Waltz even sponsored legislation that called for alternatives to policing.
He's a fake, folksy, far-left freak.
He's not real.
He's not Midwest.
He's a radical leftist trying to fool people into believing that he's one of them.
This guy likes to call Republicans weird, but he signed legislation, actual legislation, to put tampons in boys' bathrooms.
In boys' bathrooms.
Yes, you heard that right.
And to ensure minors from across the country can come to Minnesota to get sex reassignment surgeries in what is referred to as a trans refuge.
He signed that.
He wants to do that.
Minors can go there.
They probably don't have to tell their parents.
He signed it into law.
It's a trans refuge.
Imagine that.
This guy ain't Midwest, folks.
This guy's a radical leftist.
This guy's actually left of Kamala Harris, shockingly, and she's about as left as it gets.
Meanwhile, Kamala is busy releasing Colombian drug lords into the country.
This story, shockingly, shockingly, nothing's shocking anymore, unfortunately, but shockingly didn't get much attention, but ICE revealed just this week that a Colombian gang leader was caught crossing the border illegally last year.
was just released into the country.
What could go wrong, folks?
This is happening day in and day out.
She was our border czar.
These are her policies.
This is what's going to happen to our country, and it's going to be ugly.
He roamed the country.
A Colombian drug lord roamed the country for nearly a year before being arrested.
How many other Colombian gang leaders has Kamala let into the country?
Conservatives out there need to be laser-focused right now.
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are the most far-left ticket ever for a major party.
They will destroy this country if elected.
But the media is allowing them to hide.
They're doing their dirty work for them.
They're pretending they're folksy Midwestern people and that she's a moderate and was never the Borders are and is a wonderful orator.
And they've not asked her a question now in 18 days.
They're letting her hide in the basement.
Now, in non-2024 news, and for a little bit of comic relief, today at the Olympics was the women's shot put competition.
Well, it turns out that one of the competitors on the USA women's team is a woman, but does not identify as one.
I don't know, guys.
At this point, I'm just getting lost.
How exactly does that work?
Well, we can't see them very well.
Raven Saunders is actually non-binary.
Raven Saunders back.
Good to see her back, sort of.
Sort of see her, I mean.
Well, we can't see them very well.
Raven Saunders is actually non-binary.
And wearing the mask there, we're quite used to seeing them with interesting attire.
Why not?
Why not?
Why not, indeed?
Guys, I can't keep up.
But do we need a third category in the Olympics for non-binary people?
Now, comments like that will probably get me an advertiser boycott.
And speaking of which, a huge story is unfolding right here at Rumble.
Rumble CEO, Chris Pawlowski, friend of the show, someone who's been on here, personal friend of mine.
I think I was the second or third verified person on Rumble.
Recently took on an advertising group called GARM, G-A-R-M, and filed a lawsuit over the targeting of conservative independent media.
You saw this.
I think these were the guys that said there's no way you could support Crowder or some of the other guys, probably myself.
Now GARM stands for the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, but They're basically a left-wing radical group that advertisers follow to determine what brand is safe, which in reality means they're helping left-wing causes and targeting those on the right.
The evidence shows that Garm colluded with large companies, major ones, to implement advertising crackdowns.
You've seen some of those boycotts, and I think we should make those companies pay.
They've done that on Rumble.
They've done it on X. They've done it to Elon Musk and to others.
Chris even released emails from companies like Dunkin' Donuts exposing all of this.
But here, here is Chris yesterday explaining in great detail what was actually going on.
And I think it's important to watch and to understand because this is happening.
This is what we are up against.
It's why it's so important to support advertisers who have the guts to support programming like this, etc.
Watch for yourself and see.
So what's happening right now?
I guess the simplest way to put it, if you're an advertiser and you don't want to advertise on Rumble or X, that's totally fine.
You have the option to do that.
But the problem happens when you have a consortium or a group like the World Federation of Advertisers or in their group that they created called GARM, which then assembles all these advertisers in agencies Which creates a huge amount of power for these, for GARM to basically instruct these companies.
on whether or not and how they want to deploy brand safety standards.
So what happens here is, once you have a huge consortium that creates a monopoly across all the big ad budgets that dictate a brand safety standard, they then can now discriminate against certain voices on other platforms.
If they don't like what some speech might happen on Rumble or X, they can say, we're not going to touch that, which then causes Advertising rates to go higher because now they're only accessing a certain portion of the market and then drives higher prices for their shareholders and their brands.
This harms the advertisers, the shareholders.
It creates higher fees for the agencies and also harms Rumble creators and Rumble viewers and the Rumble platform.
Chris, Well, I have some big news.
Today, the World Federation of Advertisers announced that they abruptly shut down Garm.
Huh!
Ask yourself, guys.
What else are they hiding?
This is a big win, but the fight is far from over.
But lastly, my father had a press conference today at Mar-a-Lago and took questions for over an hour.
Do you think you'll ever see that from Kamala Harris?
It's been 18 days.
Nothing.
They'll put her on a teleprompter, but they won't let her talk.
When she's in a group, they make sure to keep the press far away.
Why is that?
What are they hiding?
Here's my father earlier today.
Check it out.
She's not doing any news conference.
You know why she's not doing it?
Because she can't do a news conference.
She doesn't know how to do a news conference.
She's not smart enough to do a news conference.
And I'm sorry, we need smart people to lead this country because our country's never been
in this danger before, both economically and from an outside, from an outside perspective.
Well, guys, we'll continue covering all of this, but joining us now from Minnesota is
Alpha News reporter Liz Collin.
Bye.
Liz, thank you for joining us.
I really appreciate it.
I appreciate it right back, Don.
Thanks for having me.
So you've been covering Tim Walz for quite some time now.
Were you surprised at the pick?
I mean, I'm looking at this stuff.
It feels like if someone was... even a basic amount of vetting would be like, don't go there.
Or is it just that the other people, you know, that were perhaps in contention were concerned about, you know, tying their horse to Kamala Harris, so to speak.
And, you know, we're worried about that.
What's going on here?
Are you shocked about this?
You know, not really.
Just to back up a bit, I'm a Minnesota native.
This is where I grew up, and I spent about 15 years in the corporate media in Minnesota, about 20 years in all I've been reporting, I think, if not longer.
But I really saw it for myself, the media in Minnesota giving this guy a free pass.
It's one of the reasons.
I left for independent media, where I am now at Alpha News.
Thankfully, where I am now, we've been allowed to tell the truth about this guy and the leadership, so-called leadership, I guess, he has brought to this state in his six years as governor, even before that, serving in Congress.
But these stories that I've done on his stolen valor date back a couple of years now, and amazingly, they're now getting the attention I think they deserved even back then, especially among Minnesota voters who were not aware of this past before.
That's interesting.
You said you're able to talk about it now.
Clearly, you've known about it for quite some time.
Were you actually actively prevented from discussing this stuff in the past?
You know, I saw it again and again with, you name it, the George Floyd riots, COVID and whatnot.
Not so much what we were telling the public, but what we were not.
And Governor Walz certainly fits into that category.
I don't know if, in fact, it's the media in Minnesota that's lazy, or if they just actually
cling to this left-wing lunacy that they seem to be so fine and they're just fine.
It seems to be spreading on a nightly basis, not really informing their viewers as to what's
going on.
And at Alpha News, we like to, here's the real picture.
Here's people in their own words.
And I think that's retired Command Sergeant Major Tom Behrens coming forward back in September
of 2022, coming out and calling out Governor Walz in a very public way, saying, hey, he
did not retire as a Command Sergeant Major.
He's using this title.
And that led to more stories.
In fact, in all, it was three Command Sergeant Majors that served.
at one point alongside Walls, that said he should not be using this title.
We see it.
He continues to do so, and really shed light on the fact that he went ahead and quit his
unit before they deployed to Iraq.
So now you're seeing the press almost in a way try to play some sort of defense again
for him and protect him in some way, shape, or form, talking about how he wasn't aware
of his deployment.
Well, listen to these interviews from even back then.
They were in meetings with Walls, who was clearly well aware that they were about to
deploy.
He was the highest non-ranking commissioned officer in his unit at the time, was well
aware months before deployment.
That they were about to get called up and he quit two years before His stint was to be over and never received this command sergeant major promotion So, I mean, yeah, I guess that's the thing.
What people don't understand, it's not just, you know, that he claimed to be a combat veteran.
I mean, I've seen the news, you know, he wore a green beret patch, which he clearly wasn't.
He lied about his rank.
He was demoted, apparently.
And yet, you know, if it were, you know, up to him, he'd have you believe that he was Rambo.
How many more of these lies has he told over the years?
You know, it's interesting.
I put out a book, actually, in 2023 called They're Lying, The Media, the Left, and the Death of George Floyd.
And he's a big part of that they in the title of that book.
And that's really based on the truth about what really took place on May 25th, 2020, that we're all living the consequences of To this day, these lies that were told really from the start in Minneapolis, he was one to, I think, know the full picture here, the full scope of really what transpired.
And instead of telling the public the truth, instead of releasing the body camera footage when it relates to the incident involving George Floyd, he instead decided to fan the flames with his rhetoric, to basically use people, I think, I mean, has he ever apologized?
Has he ever been honest about any of these things?
power in Minnesota.
And he lit the match for chaos and crime in Minneapolis.
That spread all across the globe.
I mean, has he ever apologized?
Has he ever been honest about any of these things?
Or is he just going with the lie and the media is happy to carry his water for him?
That's what I think is so interesting.
People will ask, you know, how does this get better?
I don't think it does until people tell the truth.
I mean, that's the only way I see this, you know, getting better.
And we get back to a sense of some sort of lawlessness or, you know, actually law and order, I should say.
But instead you have these leaders, Governor Walz being one of them, doubling down each and every You know, so-called anniversary of George Floyd's death.
You have, you know, Governor Walz making some pandering statement.
You know, he has made this declaration that this all had to do with racism and whatnot.
Doesn't want to talk about the Black police officer that arrested George Floyd.
And also, George Floyd's past, how he had a very similar arrest that took place.
Almost a year earlier that we were not allowed to know about the fact that Thomas Lane another one of the officers in prison for this called an ambulance 36 seconds after George Floyd himself asks to be put on the ground.
Again there's a reason that the evidence was was hidden and manipulated in this case and I think Governor Walz had a you know direct Basically had a direct tie to all of this.
And I think what's interesting is also you have this retired Command Sergeant Major in Tom Behrens, who does a good job in making this connection.
You know, he left his men and women kind of high and dry, as he says, before this deployment.
And then again, he did the same as he calls out with what happened in, you know, the third precinct in Minneapolis, giving up this building to the mob.
And, you know, these men and women, you know, were inside.
This was their workplace and whatnot.
And this was also part of the plan that I'm pretty sure he was obviously aware of and withholding the National Guard for three days when this could have been quelled, if the truth would have been told, really from day one.
Can you tell us more about his story?
I mean, how did he first get elected?
What was his first congressional run like?
How did this guy get into this kind of position of power, given these beliefs?
It doesn't really feel like it aligns with the people of Minnesota, certainly not the ones that I know.
Yeah, from what we do know, after reporting on him for so long, he's not a Minnesota native.
He may try to paint himself as such, but he grew up in Nebraska, and from everything that we can see after this Arrest from a DUI that took place in Nebraska, where he was going nearly 100 miles an hour, about 50 miles over the speed limit at the time.
He gets a DUI and lies to police, basically saying that some deafness in his ear played a part in the fact that he didn't understand that police were chasing him.
He thought he was being followed and wasn't aware that it was law enforcement.
So I think there's something to be said there.
I encourage people to look up that story.
But he was in the National Guard at that time in Nebraska.
He leaves, he also was a teacher and a coach back then, and then goes to Mankato.
And I think what's also interesting about even his ties to Mankato,
where he served in Congress, eventually after being a school teacher,
his congressional district did not actually even vote in favor of him to be governor.
He didn't carry that same area as they saw that this man that they once trusted
to represent them sort of change.
You know, instead saw him be more controlled by the progressives in the Twin Cities and sort of change what became priorities.
He's by far the most radical governor in Minnesota history.
That's well known.
Just take a look at what happened with our last legislative session.
As you've talked about, there are tampons in boys' bathrooms.
You know, children are allowed to come to Minnesota for sex changes.
We're a trans refuge.
A state without parental permission.
We have some of the most radical abortion laws on the books in Minnesota.
So there's so much here that this state has quickly changed.
And also as a result of that, something that I don't think gets much attention either, is there have been tens of thousands of residents that have fled the state of Minnesota since he's been governor six years ago.
And many people, they'll give you their top two or three reasons, and Walls will be one of them.
Yeah, I mean, it seems like, you know, disaster.
I mean, apparently he's out there saying that even Nancy Pelosi said for him to calm down on his abortion stance because it's so radical.
Is he one of these, like, you know, you should have until they're six years old to abort your child kind of people?
Because it seems like if Nancy Pelosi is saying, hey, you're taking it too far, it's probably really too far.
Yeah, I think that's what makes Governor Walz kind of a logical pick here.
I was just looking back at a lot of the reporting we've done at Alpha News about him.
There are so many quotes from people.
He's called a habitual liar, a masterful liar, a storyteller.
That is what he's good at, kind of this chameleon-like character to take on, you know, kind of the next I'm not sure if he even knows who he is or how this all works exactly.
These connections to China, which I think are finally getting the attention that that deserves as well.
So I think in many ways he makes sense.
But what's interesting is people have talked about their concerns about All right.
President Biden and his connections to foreign government.
And you look at walls in his history, and I think there's certainly quite a bit there also.
Look at what Joe Biden did with Hunter when he was vice president, and that's the exact role.
But I guess, you know, one thing, you know, people are asking about, I mean, is there a concern?
I mean, stolen valor is actually a criminal offense.
I mean, can Waltz actually face legal ramifications for doing what he did?
I know that others would.
He's probably now, you know, Democrat party elite, and therefore he'll be exempt from the actual rules.
But some of that's criminal, isn't it?
You know, I kind of asked myself this question again and again.
So on so many issues, you know, when do people face consequences for lies?
You know, being a reporter, you should care about the truth and people being held accountable and pushing back and whatnot.
And I don't know.
And in this state, for some reason, you know, we have this saying about Minnesota nice.
That's kind of a thing here.
But is it Minnesota naive and people just let this pass?
Uh, somebody has to certainly, you know, do something and we've seen on the other side of the aisle where people get in trouble for these type of lies and whatnot.
This isn't the first time someone's lied about their military service.
Uh, no doubt about that, but he has yet to, you know, he has yet to actually, uh, answer some of these questions.
I know some people from the national press, which thankfully are pushing back on a lot of this because I think our, our local media for the most part is just a complete joke.
And he won't answer their questions.
He walked away and has yet to respond.
So I think it'll be interesting what happens here in the next couple days, because I think he's going to be forced to respond here pretty quickly.
What about this Feeding the Future case?
It seems like Walz allowed for $250 million, basically in fraud, and it seems like nothing happened.
What's going on with that so people can understand, again, just how much of a train wreck this guy is?
Yeah, so there's this Feeding Our Future fraud, and not only tack on another about $250 million in fraud that has been uncovered on his watch as well over the last few years.
So you have nearly $500 billion in fraud on his watch.
Not only that, but they went into the legislative session, I think it was an $18 billion surplus.
That was all drained as well.
That is all well documented.
But specifically, the Feeding Our Future fraud involved different sites set up across the Twin Cities, sort of
these fake sites that were, they were basically working as getting reimbursement from the federal
and state government, serving meals during the COVID pandemic. That wasn't really actually
happening. They were not serving thousands of meals each and every day.
They said they were.
Instead, people were buying homes, boats, all kinds of things.
Some people fled the country after getting caught in all of this.
I think it's 70 people so far who have been charged in the wake of all this.
This is the largest COVID fraud in the country perpetuated here in Minnesota.
Yeah, because I mean, that seems to be I guess, you know, everyone's focused right now on the stolen valor.
And that's that's obviously a big one.
But but it doesn't end there.
There seems to be a lot I love that independent journalists like like yourself are covering this stuff.
Hopefully, it gets other people to actually, you know, push it out there, make sure that people understand exactly what they're buying into.
Because again, they're going with the folks in Midwestern guy, but he's anything but it seems Are there other Tim Walz stories and scandals that haven't actually been exposed yet on a national scale?
And who have been sort of his biggest allies in Minnesota and frankly in Washington?
You know, what's that political power structure look like there?
Well, you know, I think there's some power in control of the press.
One of his prominent cabinet members is serving as the CEO of Minnesota's largest newspaper.
I encourage people, by the way, I should plug what we're doing here, Alpha News MN on X, ALPHA News MN on X. So we sort of Tackle some things that the corporate media in town is doing and going after the Star Tribune and whatnot.
But actually, interestingly enough, retired Command Sergeant Major Behrens, who I spoke with, he talks about that very candidly in the story I did, that he contacted all the major media, including the Star Tribune at the time.
They check out the story about this stolen Valor.
This reporter calls Behrens at the time and says, you know, this 100 percent checks out.
Can't do the story, though.
The Star Tribune goes on to endorse Walls at the time.
And as Tom talks about in that story, he thinks, you know, where am I living in North Korea?
He can't believe that this is taking place.
In fact, I just talked to him today, too, and he said that he thinks the world is coming to an end because CNN, in fact, contacted him today.
I'm not so sure.
I think we are a more moderate state for the most part.
years ago about this guy.
So that's quite interesting.
I will be honest, in my reporting, it has become more and more difficult in the months
and the years that have passed, really, to find many fans of this guy.
So I'm not so sure.
I think we are a more moderate state, for the most part.
And a lot of people, this radical agenda, I don't think, has sat very well with them.
You know what?
I think that's fair, considering the average person in Minnesota.
But what is it about Minnesota that seems to breed some of the most extreme Democrats?
You know, what's the actual political makeup of the state?
Because we say that, and yet, whether it's Ilhan Omar, whether it's Walz himself, I mean, Walz, you know, supported making Minnesota a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants.
I imagine those effects have not gone over well.
I'm looking at things that he was quoted as saying in regards to women's rights.
In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they can make.
Even if we wouldn't make the same choices ourselves, there's a golden rule, mind your own damn business.
However, during COVID-19 and the pandemic, Walz infamously set up a snitch line Where citizens were encouraged to rat out their neighbors for violating stay-at-home orders?
I mean, these don't seem like the values of Minnesota people, and yet their politicians seem to be some of the most radical of anywhere in America.
Yeah, we honestly, Don, have endless material here at LFN, I think, to report on.
But this reminds me of a story I just actually did recently that I think paints the picture quite well.
You have this Minneapolis couple who live in a home near where the riots took place.
Their home is for sale for nearly, I think, eight months in total.
And they have to slash, at the price of this, nearly $100,000 because nobody wants to live in their neighborhood.
Well, I'm there doing this story, talking to them.
I think we saw two or three drug transactions go down across the street.
People are publicly urinating on homes in the neighborhood.
This couple is talking about how people defecate in their backyard.
They talk about how this has turned into a third-world country, and they really say it's
about 14 or 15 people that are responsible for all of this.
You have a very radical city council in Minneapolis.
Most of them are outsiders that are brought in, and this is a good job for activists.
Many activists serve in those roles.
These aren't people, perhaps, that are really...
Public servants that used to take these jobs.
Again, look at Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, what he's done to the city as well.
But I also think that Walls really does have a very interesting way of selling things, making it sound good, and perhaps people don't really look too much past what is said.
There's not a lot of fact-checking, I think, that goes on.
So again, I'm thankful that a lot of this is finally making the news.
Again, just talking about Being the home, Don, to the defund the police movement.
You know, something else that doesn't get much coverage here.
There's been five first responders, four police officers, and a fire medic murdered in the matter of 13 months in Minnesota.
And I think there's direct ties to this anti-police rhetoric that Governor Walz helped to spread.
So, you know, what is the sentiment in Minnesota surrounding sort of, you know, the 2020 riots?
You know, I noticed they were trying to give my father hell because he commended him after, you know, weeks or whatever it was.
He finally brought in the National Guard.
The mayor of the city, who's also a radical leftist, was like, hey, please bring it in.
He held out.
He held out.
And then my father was finally statesmanly.
Once he did, it was like, OK, I'm glad they finally did that to end it.
You know, he let that go on forever.
Then, of course, they're trying to blame Trump.
But, you know, what role will that legacy have on this race?
You know, have businesses there ever recovered?
Do you think they're willing to finally speak out about, you know, sort of the illusion that this guy's presenting?
Yeah, I encourage everyone to watch the documentary that the team here that I work with put out in November.
It's called The Fall of Minneapolis.
If you just head to thefallofminneapolis.com, it's really the truth about the riots, about the case and whatnot.
It's free.
It's a 90 minute documentary, and I know it's opened eyes all across the world.
I still hear from people watching this documentary.
And in that documentary, you hear Walz talking about righteous anger.
He's encouraging people to get out there and protest.
In a time where words really mattered and leadership mattered,
he not only let the city of Minneapolis down, he let the state of Minnesota down,
and there's no doubt about that.
And many people, I think, thought this was one thing when you saw this viral Facebook video,
but it's very clear how this was manipulated and it led to, you know...
Something that just did not have to happen.
So I think that many people have opened their eyes.
I've yet to find anyone that actually thinks Minneapolis is better off after what took place in the rioting in that week of complete destruction.
1,500 businesses either damaged or destroyed, $500 million in damage.
And to answer that, no, the majority of businesses have not rebuilt.
And Lake Street and all of these areas have not recovered.
Downtown Minneapolis, where I worked for years, is basically a ghost town on most days.
Well, Liz, thank you for all the work that you're doing with it.
I think it really is important.
I think more people need to follow, you know, that kind of independent journalism.
Can you tell us again where we can follow Alpha News, where we can get these stories, where, you know, we can kind of separate from the mainstream, frankly, on both sides, which sort of clearly has much more of an agenda, you know, and get that kind of information?
Yeah, if you head to alphanews.org, A-L-P-H-A news dot org, you can sign up for our daily newsletter there.
Otherwise, follow us on X. We have great information there.
AlphanewsMN, the M-N for Minnesota, AlphanewsMN.
We're kind of just getting started, but follow our thread, WhoIsTimWalls, right at the top.
It's pinned right at the top.
There is so much there about this guy who could be the next vice president.
Well, guys, check it out.
Make sure you're sharing that information with your friends, especially in those swing states, so they understand just how radical a person this is.
Liz, Colin, thank you so much.
We'll continue covering all of this.
Would love to have you back on as we get into more, because I have a feeling it does not end here, unfortunately, for our country and, frankly, civilization.
So thanks a lot, Liz.
You're right about that, Don.
Happy to be back on.
Thank you for having me.
Be well.

I think you'll have some fun with it, and this is where I get to play a little bit in time, so we'll be developing that out soon.
So I think you'll really like that.
But now, one of the big missions of 2024 is to take on all of the government gangsters who are driving this country off of a cliff.
So now, Government Gangsters, the book, is now a movie.
Here's a clip from the trailer.
Check it out.
Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats, who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the United States government.
Had Donald Trump not won in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state and their weapon of choice, the two-tier system of justice.
From Russiagate, to Hunter Biden's laptop, to Joe Biden's classified documents case, to January 6th, to the 51 Intel letter, and everything in between.
We would never have learned that.
These people are dangerous and vindictive, learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to hide their corruption.
It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation.
The man behind the movie, former DOD Department of Defense Chief of Staff, Kash Patel.
Kash, good to have you back, man.
A lot to cover.
Hey Don, great to be with you.
So, Cash, first off, you know, we're learning more about the Secret Service failures, including body cam and audio footage showing that they were literally warned repeatedly about the need to cover the roofs.
Now, that shouldn't surprise anyone who, you know, you don't have to be a Secret Service sniper to understand that you want to protect the high ground and that should be covered, especially inside 150 yards.
But what's your reaction to this?
Every day, this scandal just seems to get Worse and worse and at this point it's like it's sort of hard to not be conspiratorial because the worst of the thoughts of conspiracies seem to be by far the most plausible answers to what's going on here.
Well, look, my answer might upset a lot of our friends in our audience.
It's not because I don't want the answer and I don't want the truth.
It's because we have one mechanism in the United States House of Representatives where we have a slim majority to even obtain the truth.
And my calling on a council or a committee You know that.
I know that.
an immediate call for action to find out who shot your father and why, what calamitous
errors were there.
How are you letting a secret service director and a former secret service director go to
the well of Congress and lie to the American people under oath and said they had no idea
increased security was requested?
You know that, I know that, America knows that.
But for them, the Republicans in Congress to stand up a committee and say, four weeks
after your father was shot, we now have a bipartisan committee, but we're in recess
till middle of September.
That's wildly offensive to me.
And the conspiracies that are starting to leak out are what the left wants us to focus on because they want us to get sucked into this vacuum.
And my job and my mission is to get Congress motivated to stop that so we can find out why the high ground wasn't covered.
So we can get the documents from the Secret Service that said your request for additional security, Donald Trump, is denied.
So the American people can see the receipts.
And so, most importantly, this can never happen again to another president of the United States or a protectee, Don.
I mean, that's the mission.
And I think it's just showing us a dereliction of duty by Congress.
And I know that's not going to sit well with a lot of people, but I don't know where else to go to get answers.
I mean, what does all this say about the Secret Service and about the intelligence community more broadly?
I mean, you are part of that community.
Uh, you know, is it as bad as I suspect?
Yeah, and it's as weaponized and politicized as you have been talking about on your show, Bradley, for however many years it's been going on now.
You've been in the media saying this over and over again, not as a bystander, as a victim, as a culprit of the weaponized system of justice.
And now we've seen its full bore.
We haven't seen it just in the courts of law.
We are now seeing it in the administrative state, in the intelligence state, in the security state, and as long as your name is Donald Trump or you're around Donald J. Trump, you are treated differently than if you would be in another camp.
And now everyone realizes that that is the truth, that you have been telling them the truth, and the fix is to destroy the two-tier system of justice and its application In the halls of Congress, in agencies and departments everywhere, and it's going to take a monumental lift.
We've got to get your dad re-elected.
That's step one.
Step one.
And then the rest will come after that, I believe.
So my father had a press conference at Mar-a-Lago today for over an hour.
The other side won't even take questions.
I mean, the fact that Kamala Harris has gone 18 days, no one's asked her a tough question, nothing's been off-prompter.
What does that tell you?
I mean, is it just going to be another basement Biden campaign and let the media do the bidding for them?
So I think, look, I of course do not agree with any single policy and failure that has been Harrison Waltz's, right?
But what they have done is what the left always does when their policies fail.
They went to Hollywood.
They went to Hollywood and said, hey, you guys stand us up.
You guys make us look like rock stars.
We will read off a teleprompter.
We will pay people to go into audiences.
We will alter the imagery of how big our audiences are.
But as long as we have the Hollywood elites and the mainstream media speaking for us, we don't need to answer questions from the media because they'll answer Those are the questions for them.
They'll say, look at Kamala Harris.
How amazing is she?
And Mike Walsh, wow, what a career.
What a storied career as a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, rather than getting to the truth of the matter.
And DJT has never shied away from the media.
So you know it's going to be an uphill battle.
Him doing an hour or two hour press conference, he could probably do that in his sleep.
It would take Kamala Harris five years to work up the courage to do something like that.
And she'd have to have the question and answers prescripted like Joe Biden did.
Yeah, I mean, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on Waltz.
You know, this is a question I didn't have for Liz, but, you know, Tim Waltz, he signed this sort of sweeping gender identity bill that removed text from existing Minnesota law that specifically states, and I quote, that those sexually attracted to children are not considered to be part of a legally, that are, they're part of a legally protected group.
I mean, you know, I guess there's gay, straight, and pedophile, and you can't discriminate against pedophiles there?
I'm literally speechless.
As a former guy in law enforcement intel, that's just disgusting to say that we are not going to protect our children, that we are not going to go after child rapists and child sex predators, that we are going to give them a leg up in our communities so they can That was the law in his state where he's governor, where he's the chief executive officer, and he's passing these types of rulings.
And what's equally offensive to me and what can be settled really, really, really quickly It's this whole, I don't even want to call it a kerfuffle, but dust up about his military record.
I don't believe a single word this guy says.
But you know what we can do, Don?
We can have the Harris-Biden Department of Defense issue the public his service records.
And I would gladly allow those service records to go up against the service records of J.D.
Vance.
And then let the American public decide who actually served courageously in combat zones, who told the truth about their service, and who is the individual denigrating the service of men and women in our armed services by lying about their service for a political ploy.
We could easily obtain those documents, but of course Harris and Lloyd Austin at the Secretary of Defense are going to hide them.
Well, so you were at DoD.
I mean, Kamala Harris indicated that she's open to discussing an arms embargo against Israel in exchange for support from Muslim and Arab voters in Michigan.
It seems rather extreme.
I mean, it's a crazy quid pro quo, so to speak.
I mean, what's going on there?
And how do you get away with that?
How does the media not talk about that?
Look, in my opinion, you are either for Hamas, a terrorist organization, or you're for Israel.
It's really simple.
And DJT's position has been abundantly clear, which I agree with.
And these people, remember, the Harris administration gave Iran $7 billion.
gave it to them after we froze it for years and years and years.
Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, unleashed that money to buy weaponry, oil, and machinery, and then launch a world war into Israel through their proxy, a terrorist organization in Hamas, which the radical left and the mainstream media wouldn't even identify as a terrorist organization, neither would Harris.
So it doesn't surprise me that she wants to go buy votes in the state of Minnesota and Michigan through the Arab community by saying she's pro-Hamas.
That's essentially what she's doing.
She doesn't know how to end a war.
She only knows how to start them and fund them.
And she knows how to aggravate American citizens who are bravely trying to put the wars of the world down.
And she is trying to exploit them for political purposes.
And they're not even being quiet about it.
They're literally going up there to, you know, the squads hit territory and saying, we're going to purchase votes because we're going to tell you we're pro Hamas.
Can you imagine if Donald J. Trump said, I'm pro a terrorist organization rather than Israel?
Yeah, no, it seems like that would be a big deal.
I mean, another big deal and a story that went under the radar was the Biden DOD cut a plea deal with a 9-11 mastermind and then walked it back after the defense secretary said he was surprised and didn't even know about it.
I mean, what is going on?
I mean, you were at DOD.
I mean, you cut a deal with a 9-11 mastermind?
Like, I preferred it when, like, Trump was Killing terrorist masterminds, not cutting deals with them.
I mean, and that's what this election feels like.
It's like, literally, America last versus America first.
The people who will cut a deal with the terrorists versus the people that will take out the terrorists.
What's going on there?
I mean, how does the defense secretary not even know that a 9-11 mastermind, perhaps the precipice for a 20-year never-ending war, they cut a deal with this guy?
Look, I don't know what's worse, the deal or the fact that he didn't know.
But let's remind your audience, Lloyd Austin, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, the Secretary of Defense, prioritizes white rage, DEI, and climate change at DOD over the security of this nation.
Lloyd Austin went into hiding and lied about his health to the world and to the Commander-in-Chief and opened up this nation to vulnerable attacks, and he still has his job.
And now, I don't know what's worse, the Secretary of Defense telling the world that under his leadership, his Department of Defense cut a plea deal with a 9-11 terrorist that killed 3,000 people.
And he didn't know about it?
That's his excuse?
That's his out?
That is utter incompetence and dereliction of duty.
And if that's what he wants to go with, fine.
But the fact that he doesn't have his men and women under leadership in line to combat terrorism shows you everything you need to know about this administration.
And as a New Yorker, Don, myself and yourself, where we were at the epicenter of these horrific attacks, And we went on to work in your father's administration.
I went on to lead his counterterrorism programs, and you hit it on the head.
You know what DJT said every single time?
Go kill the most violent terrorists there are.
Take out Soleimani.
Take out Baghdadi.
And we did that for him, under his courageous leadership.
We returned 54 hostages and detainees under DJT's leadership.
That's more than every president before him combined.
Simply because we prioritize the safety of Americans over the safety and security of terrorists.
And that's what the Harris administration stands for, with this utter incompetence.
Yeah, another totally bonkers story I saw, I guess it was on your Truth Social account, is surrounding space travel.
And we apparently have astronauts stranded at the International Space Station.
What?
We have astronauts stranded in space?
What's going on?
You know, NASA utilized Boeing, the giant behemoth in the defense industrial complex.
And that's not to knock everything they do.
They do a ton of great stuff.
But we've been saying for years and years, we need to rein these policies in.
We need to rein this ATM machine in.
And if they had the best tech and the best equipment, their astronauts were supposed to be up there for eight days, Don.
Eight days.
Now they're going to be there till next February, when Donald J. Trump is President of the United States and brings them home, because the Harris administration won't prioritize the safety of Americans on Earth or in space.
And these are our armed service people.
Remember, this is NASA.
These are our men and women in uniform.
Donald J. Trump created Space Force for a reason.
Donald J. Trump expanded the DoD industrial complex to brilliant organizations like SpaceX, where we actually get affordable rockets that work.
And the guy that's going to go save these hostages now in space is, of course, going to be Elon Musk and his SpaceX Dragon.
And I just wish we could get it up there faster.
And here's the thing, Don.
We could if the President of the United States right now said, hey, Elon Musk, I need to send one of your ships up.
But he won't make that call because Americans are not a priority to him.
And Harris won't campaign on it because she doesn't care about them.
How does all of this relate to your new movie Government Gangsters?
And what's the roadmap between now and November?
Give us some of the tough love and the needed calls to action.
What does Congress need to do?
What does the campaign need to do?
What do voters need to do between now and then?
89 days left.
Yeah, look, thanks so much.
Go watch the movie, warroom.film, warroom.film.
And President Trump launched my book to a nine-month bestseller, Government Gangsters, and then Steve Bannon took it and made it into an hour-long movie to stitch together the deep state, to stitch together what President Trump called the roadmap to winning in 2024 and the blueprint for America.
And that's what we put on the screen.
We highlighted the main eight to 10 government gangsters, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Fiona Hill, et cetera.
But what we wanted to educate Americans on was whether it was Russiagate, 51 Intel Letter, Jan 6 Intervention, or whatever two-tier system of justice operation they were running to rig a presidential election, these people are interchangeable.
And they're interchangeable because we've allowed them to exist in the swamp and in the private sector.
And in order for us to defeat them, number one, Number one, gotta elect Donald J. Trump because he is the wrecking ball of the deep state.
But behind that, we have to educate people in our communities with the truth.
And if you watch this film, you will literally see in the simplest terms on the screen, the truth that has been doled out.
And what Congress needs to do is get more documents out to the American public so we can use them in our communities, in our town halls.
And when DJT is on the road, we can show the fake news, how they've been lying to Americans and how they've robbed people of the truth.
All I want on November 5th is for Donald J. Trump to have an election based on the truth.
And if we do that, I believe he will win resoundingly.
But it's up to us to get behind him and to eliminate these government gangsters.
So thanks for letting me talk about the movie.
And of course, it's dedicated to Steve Bannon, who we partnered with, who literally finished it on the day he walked into federal prison.
So let's do it for him too.
Well, that's crazy.
And yeah, that, you know, another one of government overreach.
But, you know, obviously you were, you know, sort of fundamental in being at least the person to help, you know, Devin Nunes uncover sort of the fake Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
You guys were all over that early, but I'd love to get your thoughts, Cash, on, you know, Hunter Biden and two of his associates accepting payments of up to $3 million from a Romanian business who was attempting to influence US policy and public opinion.
Do you think he's ever going to face any consequences for that?
Or is it just, you know, rules for me, but not for thee?
Well, Don, of course, you know, you, a former son of a former sitting president, had one set of rules applied to him, and we see what they do with Hunter Biden.
That's the two-tier system of justice, as simply and as neatly as we can possibly portray it.
Imagine if you were accused and it proved that you had taken millions of dollars from overseas entities like the Ukraine, the CCP, now Romania and elsewhere.
You would be in prison for a very long time.
But here's what's going to happen, and I called it a while ago.
Joe Biden was never going to be the nominee.
Then Joe Biden was going to have a health issue.
Then Joe Biden was going to get sidelined.
And here's the next thing.
Joe Biden is going to pardon his entire family.
His son, his brother, his sister, his daughter, and the presidential pardon will be prospective and they will never be prosecuted for any of these crimes.
Not one single day in jail.
Well, yeah, one of our regulars is talking about, you know, Trump's got to get in there and literally purge all of these clowns, and we all probably can't wait to see that happen.
So, you know, give me a, Cash, a, you know, day one, 12.01 p.m.
Eastern Time, Inauguration Day plan.
What are the first steps to get this moving in the right direction?
A couple things.
One, all leadership positions and six to seven to eight rungs below them have to be replaced in every agency and department.
I'm talking the chiefs of staff, the undersecretaries, the assistant secretaries, with guys from Donald J. Trump's bench.
And the good news is that bench exists.
And we have to then go in and reform agencies like the FBI and shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up the next day as the Museum of the Deep State so Americans can walk through it freely.
And then take the headquarters component, the 7,000 agents, and send them downrange to chase down murderers and rapists and drug dealers.
You guys are cops.
Go be cops downrange.
And the same thing with DOJ.
We don't need 15,000 lawyers next to the White House.
We need them across this country.
And we also need to Again, the fat in government in places like Intel and DoD.
I don't need a million people doing the same job three times over.
The American taxpayer deserves better.
So there's a short-form map in Government Gangsters on how to eliminate these positions, how to save the American taxpayer money, and how to actually go down and chase criminals, and how to destroy the two-tier system of justice so that it can never be weaponized again for political purposes.
That's the whole goal.
If we achieve that behind the leadership of Donald J. Trump, this country will course correct like it's never seen since the American Revolution.
Well, I'm with you, man.
Hopefully, you're gonna be part of that plan.
So, Cash, thank you very much.
