The truth.
It is the middle ground between light and shadow, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.
This is Just Informed Talk Radio, where we are not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes.
One thing, I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain it to time, all I know.
Time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings, watch it count down to the end of the day, the clock takes life away, it's so unreal.
Didn't look out below, watch the sign go right out the window, trying to hold on, but you didn't even know, wasted it all just to watch you go.
I kept everything inside, and even though I tried, it all fell apart.
Welcome to another Just Informed Talk Radio show.
I'm your host, Craig James.
Hope you guys are having a wonderful day.
And we have quite the show for you.
I want to get into a bunch of different stories, some stuff that really needs to be covered, particularly this story coming out of the O'Keefe Media Group.
A top Pentagon advisor has been caught on hidden camera.
Confirming that there's a group of retired generals, one, two, three, and possibly even four-star generals, who are secretly convening to create plans to hinder Trump as he enters office coming up here in the next, what, uh...
Five days.
We're five days out from Trump being inaugurated.
And, of course, that is what the story is.
And it's a shocking story, but not surprising, right?
Because, of course, this person claims to be the person involved with hunting spies over at the...
A senior advisor of the Joint Staff at the Department of Defense, a former special agent at the FBI, and, of course, a former special assistant to none other than Hillary Clinton, Jamie Manina.
Manina?
I can't pronounce his name.
I don't know if it's Spanish or what.
But he has been caught on tape in this incredible expose, which, you know...
It's not surprising that there are a group of retired generals getting together and saying, how are we going to stop this guy?
But the way that this guy talks about it so openly, it's, you know, the hubris, right, that these people have thinking they're untouchable, that they can, you know, brag about their secret plans in public, even though this is on a private date where he even though this is on a private date where he thinks he's impressing some girl, presumably, with his, you know, story of spy craft and, you know, subterfuge.
That he's engaged in.
But the fact of the matter is that, and I'll play some of this clip, some of this video later here in a few minutes, but it is not shocking, but it is quite disturbing. but it is quite disturbing.
And what we're going to end up seeing in all of this, I think, is the development of a same strategy, a similar strategy as to what we saw before with Trump, where, you know, you had documented cases where Trump's own generals were disregarding his direct orders, which amounts to treason, but, hey, you know, it's Donald Trump, so I guess treason, nobody cares about treason anymore.
You know, we throw around terms like treason almost loosely now because they don't get taken very seriously, and that is in and of itself a very serious problem that we're facing here.
I mean, I can go down a list of individuals who...
Most likely have committed treason and have had no repercussion for it.
Of course, the left has accused Trump and people surrounding him of committing treason.
So it's the same thing with what happened during the Pizzagate thing, where people were throwing the term pedophile around and, you know, child sex trafficking around.
And it's almost like that term has been used to a point where people forget how serious That allegation truly is and how damning it should be for anyone to be engaged in that activity.
But it is where we are today, perhaps by design, perhaps not.
I know that this is a part of some of the ways that they run psychological operations, and this is how we talked about in yesterday's episode.
This is what happens when you have a scenario unfold with the types of psychological warfare that we're seeing today and how it's being laid out in front of us.
So I can only say for myself that this story is something that I think everybody should hear, and we'll listen to it in just a second.
But we've got to remember...
That really all of this is critical factor bypass.
This is all, you know, programming the masses subtly with, you know, the stimuli of repeated nonsense that then, you know, clouds the brain and judgment.
It bypasses your critical thinking, you know, with...
Putting in your subconscious thoughts that then become reality for you.
That is how it was described yesterday by Jacob Chansley, who I shared with all of you guys on the show.
But it's even more than that.
It goes far beyond that, to be quite honest.
And I could explain that in better detail, perhaps, once I play this video for you.
Because it is quite, again, disturbing for anybody to even listen to this kind of stuff, but it shouldn't be surprising, right?
Let's listen.
I work at this top consulting firm, and my client is the Pentagon.
So I'm embedded in the Pentagon.
I work in the Joint Staff, which is the top military command.
Once you lost, I went into the intelligence community, and I became an FBI special agent.
So I became a spy hunter.
So I was a counterintelligence agent, special agent at the FBI.
What's your overall assessment of Trump?
He's a sociopathic narcissist.
Who is only interested in advancing his name, his wealth, and his fame.
Is there anything you can do to protect American people from stuff that he might try to do?
I'm in conversation with a couple of retired generals to try to explore what we can do.
The retiring generals that you were going to talk to.
They're like one, two, or three star generals and admirals.
You probably know maybe four stars.
So I also have a big day tomorrow.
Probably the biggest day of all.
So we have this huge, huge meeting with military leaders in a very secure room called The Tank.
So we have a tank meeting.
like all of the top top leaders in the ISIS military tomorrow on my topic that I prepared.
So it went well?
I think it went well.
Very sensitive information, but we have to keep it between us.
I specialize in artificial intelligence and emerging technologies like quantum, cyber security, What's quantum?
I haven't heard it.
Quantum is incredibly...
It's fast supercomputing that doesn't yet exist, but will soon exist.
And when it does, it will change everything.
Peg Seth.
Peg Seth, yeah.
Peg Seth, who's that?
Secretary of Defense.
He's cheated on all his wives, all his girlfriends.
He's had some sexual assault allegations.
He's an alcoholic.
There's a lot of observations of him drinking.
You're not a spy?
You're not trying to, like, collect information from me?
I wish I was.
That'd be cool.
Well, with me, literally with a former FBI agent, you're going to be safe.
All right, former FBI agent Jamie Menina.
Telling his Tinder date.
All of our state secrets, you know, with guys like this defending our national security, it is a miracle that we are not all speaking Chinese at this point.
So, stay tuned.
We're coming back.
You're listening to Just Informed Talk Radio.
Before hiring a realtor from a big corporation who outsources their jobs and pays little to no taxes, ask yourself, what do you really want in a realtor?
You need a realtor who is honest and has integrity.
A realtor who's focused on the client's bottom line, not the realtor's bottom line.
Who provides personable, over-the-top service before, during, and after the transaction.
You want a realtor that knows how to market your property.

Now that we know that it's true, don't, don't you know the kind of man I am?
No, said I never fall in love again, but it's real and the feeling comes shining through.
I'm so caught up in you, little girl, that I never get distracted.
So I'm caught up in you.
Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio.
I'm your host, Craig James, and of course we were talking about this James O'Keefe Media Group message that was put out there.
It is very disturbing, to say the least, that this guy was talking about Jamie Menina, if I'm saying his name correctly, of the Joint Staff at the Pentagon.
Department of Defense telling his Tinder date all about the state secrets he was just briefing the Joint Chiefs of Staff and their colleagues on in a super-secret room called The Tank.
So part of me sometimes with these James O'Keefe investigative stories, because he works in Washington, D.C., and there's a...
There's a high probability that at this point he should have face and name recognition with all agencies.
There is no world in which the staff are not being briefed on the fact that James O'Keefe is using women and men on these dating sites to get information from people to share.
Via his media platform, but somehow, someway, James O'Keefe still keeps getting people to go on these dates with the hidden cameras and basically just spill the beans on everything.
It is almost unbelievable.
And, hold on.
Oh, almost.
Almost had a sneeze there, but I didn't.
You know, when that comes and you're like, oh, I'm going to sneeze, and then you don't.
It is almost unbelievable, because you have to imagine that they're like briefing their people, like, hey, if you meet someone on Tinder or one of these other dating websites, try not to tell them every secret you know on the first date.
I mean, and if this is what James O'Keefe can do...
As a, you know, sort of semi-independent media organization on the smaller side working in the Beltway in D.C. with, you know, high-profile targets, you know, just imagine what could be done by our enemies.
Like, imagine China or Russia or, you know.
Iran or whoever, you name the foreign country or our allies, you know, Israel.
Israel or the UK or any, you know, number of countries in Europe.
Imagine what kind of information they could be extracting through things similar to this.
I mean, granted, this is sort of a...
Archetype of a script that would be used for any, you know, popular TV show.
Just go see shows like The Americans or whatever, where, you know, this is what their job is, is to do this kind of thing.
But still it shocks me that people are giving this information.
Now, granted, this guy didn't say, you know, here are the nuclear launch codes.
So, you know, he probably was saying things which he is legally perhaps allowed to disclose, which may not actually result in him facing any, you know, formal criminal charges for breaching any sort of, you know, confidentiality agreements or otherwise.
But, I mean, he is telling her on this date, you know, I'm working with admirals and generals to undermine the incoming president of the United States.
Which I don't know what that falls under, but it's not good, to say the least.
I mean, I'm sure there's a number of ways you could pursue it legally if it were...
In fact, true if he's not just saying it as a way to impress some girl.
And that's how they always explain all of this away.
He was just making it up to impress this woman on this date.
And maybe he was.
Maybe he is.
Maybe it's all just, you know, his bravado and ego, getting the best of him, trying to make himself seem more important than he really is.
He could just be a...
Desk jockey paper pusher over at the Pentagon and, you know, he's just trying to make himself sound way more important than he really is.
Which is very possible.
In fact, likely.
Let's be honest.
You know, a guy like that, you know, in the position he's in, middle-aged, unmarried, trying to court a woman, you know, in D.C. where...
You know, one of the currencies they deal in is power, not just dollars.
You're either very wealthy or you have power in other ways.
And if you don't have those two things, you may not be appealing to certain types of women, right?
Because that's what those women, in some cases, are looking for.
So, especially on the left...
You know, this guy's a leftist, and the kind of women I'm sure he attracts are the type of women who care more about that type of thing than they do about the person or the man.
They just care about, you know, the power of the money.
So, yeah, it is fascinating.
And it would be interesting to see how this all plays out.
But the rest of the report actually is quite interesting.
Let me play some more of it because James O'Keefe gives quite an explanation that is worth listening to.
Let me see if I can pull up.
And one other thing I'll add while it is being mentioned here, there is a very strange video that exists where an organization known as Predator DC seems to have caught in November of 2021 this very same FBI agent.
Now, this is allegedly.
I've been trying to verify this all morning, but the video exists where it's clearly him and he's clearly being confronted by a camera crew who seemingly have set up one of those sting houses like out of...
To Catch a Predator series with, what was his name?
Oh, I can't remember his name.
Hi, I'm blah, blah, blah.
Yeah.
Anyway, with the guy who ran that show.
Sorry, my voice is struggling this morning.
But my voice is like one of those old engines.
It's just got to get warmed up, you know?
But it does seem to show this guy being confronted by a camera crew after what seems to be an encounter with what he believed to be an underage woman who turned out to be one of those decoy actors, right?
Like in those shows.
So there is an actual, interestingly enough, clip here.
I'll play a part of it.
Everybody listen to this.
Just have a seat here.
How are you?
Just take a seat for me.
I'm sorry, I don't want to be on camera.
No, no, just take a seat.
We're journalists.
We want to hear your side.
I just want to talk to you.
Who you are?
Well, I'm Jack Berkman.
I'm Jacob Wolfe.
We're doing a story of adults who come to have sex with underage teens.
Now, you've come here today to have sex with an underage girl.
No, I said no, sir.
You said no?
I said no.
I didn't want to do anything.
But here you are.
Why are you here today?
Why don't we chat?
Let's go sit down.
It's too late for that.
We don't need your permission.
You're in our home.
We don't need your permission.
You should tell us.
We want to hear your side of the story, Jamie.
Tell us your side of the story.
Jamie, are you a pedophile?
Okay, come back in.
Please answer the question.
All right, so, I mean, it's almost unbelievable, but hey, here we are.
That this was the same FBI agent, Jamie Menina, who was busted by Predator DC coming to have sex with an underage girl in November of 2021, is now on hidden camera four years later with James O'Keefe on a Tinder date talking about how he is working with Retired generals and admirals to set up a scenario where he takes out Trump,
or not takes out, but I mean in the sense of takes out Trump's ability to govern effectively, to hinder his ability to execute his authority.
Is this real?
I don't know.
I'll be honest with you, like, that video seems quite real.
The video that James O'Keefe posted seems quite real.
So for all intents and purposes, at this point, this is all a very true and real story.
And can you imagine?
I mean, like, let's presume what Jamie's saying in the O'Keefe Media Group video is true, that he is in fact working with...
Admirals and generals against Trump and that he is, in fact, still working in D.C. and that he does, in fact, have a security clearance, presumably, that allows him to go to the most secure facility at the Pentagon called the Tank to brief the Joint Chiefs of Staff and their colleagues on whatever he's briefing them on.
I'm...
I'm almost certain, knowing people and intelligence as I do, that if you did the thing with trying to get the kid, as he seemed to have did back in 2021, that that would probably, in any event, that would lead to a reduction or a revocation of your security clearances.
Right?
I'm just asking because I honestly don't know.
Or these are the kind of people they're recruiting?
And then that begs all kinds of questions.
And then this is the kind of people that admirals and generals are working with?
It's just...
It's all very confusing, to put it mildly.
I would tell you that this is, you know, a nothing burger, and it might very well be, but if it is more than what...
If it is what it seems to be...
As opposed to what it could be, which it could be nothing.
It could be this guy's just on a Tinder date making stuff up for a girl to sound important.
But the O'Keefe report does sort of go into some detail.
I want to play some more of it here.
Let's get to where we left off.
All right, we left off right here.
Let's listen.
Literally with a former FBI agent, so you're going to be saved.
I became an FBI special agent, so I became a spy hunter.
You're a spy hunter, you say?
Well, I'm a spy hunter too, but I'm evidently a better spy hunter than you.
Jamie Manorino describes how he met Hillary Clinton in the mid-2000s when he was here at George Washington University pursuing a master's degree.
He then followed Hillary Clinton to the State Department where he worked.
This person I met in college was Hillary Clinton.
So I met her in college, and I worked for her since college.
And then when she became Secretary of State, I followed her to the State Department, and that's how I worked there.
And then she almost won again, right, in 2016. So after Jamie Manorino worked for Hillary Clinton, he then became a special agent here at the FBI. To, in his words, catch Russian spies, because according to Jamie, he's a spy hunter who specializes in counterintelligence.
When she lost, I went into the intelligence community and I became an FBI special agent because I was so upset.
I was really angry.
I wanted to catch Russian spies, Chinese spies.
They had really affected the outcome I felt in 2016. So I became a spy hunter.
So I was a counterintelligence agent, special agent at the FBI. After experiencing...
All right.
So, look.
He got so upset after the 2016 election, he decided to become an FBI agent to hunt down those pesky Russians.
And then five years later, just, you know, is doing whatever he's doing with kids, apparently.
And then fast forward another five years later, and he's telling this woman on a date about how he's trying to thwart Trump.
Sounds like a normal person.
Like, if these are the people running D.C., no wonder why our country's completely screwed up.
It's because these people are psychotic sickos, and they're like sociopath psychopaths.
All right, stay tuned.
We're coming back.
Okay, I've been hearing a lot about the LifeWave patches, and they sound amazing.
And I'm thinking I want to try them for myself.
But can you tell me how they work?
Okay, well, you wear the patch, which is about the size of a quarter, 12 hours a day, 12 on, 12 off.
And the patch uses your body's own light and energy and copper peptides to reactivate the dormant stem cells in your body.
Once a stem cell has been reactivated, it can be used by any of the cells in your body that need it, creating a healing and growth process you haven't experienced since your youth.
So in a nutshell, This is how the LifeWave X39 patch works.
You can purchase the LifeWave X39 patches by going to 1360KHNC.com and clicking on the Natural Health Products button at the top of the page.
Then simply scroll down to the LifeWave section.

Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio.
I'm your host, Craig James.
We'll get into some other stories here in just a second, but just to wrap it up on this story of James and Nina, I'll save my opinion on it and then let you guys make your decision for yourself.
I think there's a high probability that this guy is exaggerating as to his influence with regard to all of this.
However, I would also say that There's a high probability that there's a lot of truth in everything he's saying, whether he's behind it or he knows about other people who are behind similar type of operations.
So, even if he is not the individual who is working to do the things he's claiming to do, there are certainly people out there who are working toward those ends.
And he is indicative of a system that is operating to do that kind of stuff, right?
So that's the way I would say it.
And Chris Hansen was his name.
Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator.
Thank you.
That was somebody texting in, so I appreciate that.
If you want to text in, 877-536-1360 is the number.
What else did he say?
He talked about broader challenges in advancing technologies, saying there were a lot of bureaucratic obstacles and the importance of fostering international cooperation, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He says they need to avoid overclassification, which really prohibits the ability to share information across their retailer, I guess.
Yeah, I mean, look.
I think the main parts we picked up on were the part where he said he's working with generals and admirals to essentially explore what they can do to stop Trump, right?
He also is describing in this post his ghostwriting with a 501c4 advocacy organization, National Security Leaders for America.
He says, quote, what we were doing was we were trying to explain to the American people the national security consequences of another Trump presidency, end quote.
He also elaborated on his recent activity saying, quote, since the spring I was working with these retired generals, retired ambassadors.
They're like one, two, or three star generals and admirals.
You probably know the four stars.
This organization tried to defeat Donald Trump.
Alright.
So, this is what Washington, D.C. breeds.
This is what it creates.
This is what it promotes.
This is what it stands for.
This is why people are sick and tired and fed up with the way our federal government is run.
Because it's run by a bunch of sick people who are really dangerous in their...
Means and motivation.
And I think it's just a fact that this is where we are today.
You obviously understand what my political persuasion is in all of this.
And that's just my humble opinion.
But I think you could hopefully, not all, because there's a lot of leftists out there who have just gone off the reservation, who live in a fantasy world of really sick stuff.
But...
I mean, the moderate leftist, you would think, could understand the danger in all of this, perhaps.
But again, the psychological warfare operations being run against the public are so deeply rooted and ingrained within the psyche of the masses that it's practically...
Nearly an impossible task to deprogram some of these people who are lost to that sort of ideological persuasion.
And the funny thing is that they would say the same, the hardcore progressive leftists would say the same about people like us, right?
So we're in this sort of strategic stalemate, if you will.
I mean, if you don't believe in God and Christian morality, then it's practically impossible to, and if you reject that, as a matter of fact, and embrace that which is opposite to it,
it would be practically impossible for myself or nearly anyone else to persuade an individual to see things in the way that we do as far as, you know, Decency, humility, compassion, understanding, but also having a strict moral and ethical code of values and norms that we institutionally embrace as a society.
That's where the divide is really being laid.
And at this point, it's only going to get worse because...
Those people live, again, in a bubble, right?
They don't expose themselves to the information that could persuade them outside of their thought process.
Here's the difference between our side, I would imagine, and the leftist sort of militant, progressive, leftist perspective.
The militant, leftist, progressive would be the kind of person who...
You know, you see these things happen in the streets, right, where there's protests.
And you'll see there's, like, the Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ, Antifa, whatever, protesters.
And then there's sort of the conservative, MAGA, Christian type of protesters.
And inevitably, one thing I see quite often, and I never see it the other way around, and maybe that's some sort of bias on my part, but...
I have yet to see this exercise in the real world.
It's the conservative MAGA Christian Republican types who will want to engage in dialogue and ask questions like, why do you believe what you believe?
Why do you think this is okay as opposed to this?
And what you'll see is this strict militarized conformity, which is instilled on the left, where the organizers of the left wing protests will come and intervene and pull their people away from those trying to initiate dialogue and have conversation.
They will say, don't talk to them.
Don't talk to them.
Don't listen to them.
Don't engage with them.
Don't.
And they'll say they'll use stupid words like platform them.
Don't platform their, you know, Nazi rhetoric.
Right?
So they won't even engage in the debate.
So they won't even give themselves a chance to be persuaded.
Which is why the control over the fake news media is so important for the existence and survival of this progressive left-wing militant ideology.
Because if they lost control of those levers of power, like...
Basically being in control of all the major news outlets, even Fox News, by the way, which is just full of gatekeepers who want to keep the conversation very controlled and very guided.
If they lost control of that, then they would lose power almost immediately because people could be persuaded.
They wouldn't be trapped inside of this, you know, conformity that is strangling people.
And to be honest, this is why so many people, even myself included, who I was a prodigal son at one point, self-admittedly, in my college years I was lost and I had to be found because I was in that same conformist structure where it was like I didn't even want to listen to the other side.
But I have a weird upbringing.
I was conservative when I was younger and then liberal as I got into college and high school.
And then, you know, I found my, thanks be to God, I found a relationship with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I was able to break out of it.
But this is where we're at right now, where there's one side who's ideologically driven.
And they're driving themselves to extinction, too, by the way, with what they're doing.
It's actually very sad.
Anyway, we're hitting a break.
We're coming back.
Stay tuned.

Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio.
I am your host, Craig James.
And, you know, there's a lot that we can keep reading into all of this as far as the ideological divide in America.
I think most of us are quite aware of it at this point and how it's coming to reality more every day.
I personally don't want to...
I wish it wasn't this way because I would love to engage in...
A dialogue with the other side of the aisle to try to convince them that the things they're doing are not only detrimental to society as a whole, but it really is, as I said before, they are truly destroying themselves in so many different ways.
Just take, for example, the LGBTQ stuff.
If I come from a place of hatred, I would be encouraging them to keep doing what they're doing.
If I really did hate them, I mean, let's be honest, and I've said this before here, so some of you are like, yeah, we know.
But if I did hate these people, I'd be like, oh yeah, you're so brave and beautiful.
Yeah, cut off all your, you know, reproductive organs and mutilate your children so they can't procreate.
Yeah, this is so good.
Affirm who you are.
You're going to be great.
Just keep it up.
You're going to do great things with no kids, no progeny, and no future aspirations.
Only serving yourself for what temporal pleasure you can get in this one life that will never continue beyond yourself.
I would be encouraging that if I hated them, which I don't.
That's the thing.
The crazy thing is, believe it or not, I actually do want these people to be saved.
I truly want these people to find hope and peace and light.
A lot of people will say, well then, if you really want them to be happy, then you should support them in what they're doing.
Because that's what makes them happy.
But, and I don't mean to sort of trivialize everything that they're going through, because a lot of it is mental health.
A lot of it is they have, you know, very serious mental health conditions that, you know, perhaps with the right therapy and maybe even some drugs, which, you know, drugs you've got to be careful with because they're very dangerous if used improperly.
But perhaps with those kind of things, you know, they might have a chance at leading a normal life.
But when you take somebody with a severe mental illness, right, like gender dysphoria or whatever it is, and then you tell them, you know what, you're right.
God made a mistake.
You're actually, you were born a girl, but you're actually a man.
And now what we're going to do is we're going to put you on all these pharmaceutical drugs and put you through, you know, a dozen surgeries to remake your body in the image that you think it should be.
Now, that might lead to some relief of symptom, right?
The root cause, the mental illness that existed before that does not go away.
And I'm hard-pressed to find examples of people who are truly happy with who they are now.
I mean, if you look at, for instance, I don't know how we got here from where we were, but I think this is important nonetheless.
If you look at examples of people who are transgender, There are, in most cases, those people have a much higher rate of, you know, mental illness, right?
And that mental illness doesn't go away when they perform whatever surgery or procedure or hormone treatment.
Usually it gets worse.
To the point where you have the detransitioners, those who had transitioned and now try to go back to their original birth sex, which is what they were born as, they tell horror stories about not only what they did to themselves, but the kind of pressure they were exposed to as individuals who...
We're given an expectation to fulfill a, you know, sort of a desired outcome that was pushed upon them by a community that they thought they were being embraced by but really were being indoctrinated into.
You know, if you want to know the stark difference between Sort of the Christian perspective and the worldly perspective.
It's that the Christian perspective truly promotes that when God makes us, we are children who have a father who loves us, who have an infinite capability that is with God.
At our side and in us, through us, God can do things that we can't imagine.
And the opposite side of that, I would say, is what I see is this, you know, creation of a dependency that is always entwined with the left.
The leftist sort of worldly type of view always is, you know, you need a support group.
You need a community.
You need, you know, to be a part of this broader organization.
Otherwise, you're going to be alone and a victim.
You know, the victim mentality is very strong on the left.
You're a victim.
You're a victim no matter what.
Especially if you're a person of color, you're a victim because of that.
If you're a person who's confused about their gender, you're a victim.
If you're a white person, you're a victim of your own...
Your ancestors' guilt is transposed upon you by your bloodline.
And because you're a victim, you need people to intervene on your behalf, and you're basically a child.
They've made you into a child to be controlled.
So it's sort of the opposite.
Anyway, I could go on about this all day.
We're going to get another news stories, I promise.
Stay tuned, we're coming back.

We stop children waiting what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down Welcome back to Just Forum Talk Radio.
We have a few other stories we're going to get to here today.
You know, Pete Hegseth was on Capitol Hill yesterday undergoing quite an interesting question time in Congress in front of the Senate.
He is, of course, being scrutinized for his upcoming position that he's been nominated by President Trump for to become the next Secretary of Defense.
And, look, my take on it is pretty simple.
I think Pete Hegseff is, just like everyone, an imperfect person.
He's got a weird background with the whole, you know, adultery stuff.
And, you know, I think he had a kid.
Perhaps it was out of wedlock.
I don't even know.
But it is one of those stories.
I don't get into that stuff because a lot of times, in some cases, it's important to follow all the details on it.
A lot of times, to me, it just turns into a soap opera.
But I will say, I don't approve of that behavior, and I think it's reprehensible.
I'm of the opinion that you can repent and you can...
Come clean about those kind of things, and you can come to God and ask His forgiveness.
You don't need my forgiveness.
I am not the judge.
But, you know, if you do come forward in that regard and you do ask for forgiveness, then I believe you should be able to be forgiven.
Now, I've had issue with other people who have done things similar, and certain Congress...
Members of Congress, who I will not name for reasons I can't explain on air, but certain members of Congress have engaged in very similar behavior, and they have, in what seems to be a forthright admission of guilt, come forward and ask for forgiveness, and then, you know, you judge a tree by its fruits, and they then...
Continue to act in a certain way that shows that they really weren't, you know, sincere about their initial plea for forgiveness.
And that, I think, speaks a lot to character.
So, I don't know enough about Pete Hegseth to say whether or not he has, you know, his repentance is there or if it's even sincere.
He does seem like a pretty rational pick for Trump to become the Secretary of Defense.
He's young.
He's got a pretty good background with working.
I think he was working with anti-terrorism squads in the military.
And he has a pretty established military record, which...
I think this is the kind of guy, and he also happened to be an anchor over on Fox News, which again, Fox are gatekeepers, so I shouldn't be surprised that these are the people Trump's picking.
It really is frustrating at times to see that, but gatekeeping is another form of how they've rationalized the national security.
Excuse for everything, right?
It's all about national security.
Well, if we didn't gatekeep, then certain information could get into the public that would harm, you know, innocent Americans.
So, you know, we have to gatekeep information at Fox News.
Otherwise, it would be chaos, right?
And bedlam and pandemonium.
Dogs with cats is...
I think that's from Ghostbusters.
But the point is that the hearing was pretty much what you'd expect it to be, a bunch of incoherently rambling and hysterical leftists, and then a bunch of kind of, you know, very apologetic and promotional.
I can't even describe it, but right-wing conservative senators.
So it went exactly how you thought it went.
Stay tuned.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill they hope will bring relief to veterans and others suffering from serious mental health disorders in Colorado.
The bill would allow Colorado doctors to prescribe a synthetic version of psilocybin, a psychedelic compound found in mushrooms.
Scientists have been studying to see if psilocybin can help treat a range of mental health disorders like PTSD.
The measure would only take effect if the Food and Drug Administration approved psilocybin.
Colorado State Representative Jenny Wilford filed a lawsuit against Lyft on Monday, claiming the company is aware of a systemic problem of sexual assault on passengers.
Following her own alleged assault.
According to the lawsuit, Wilford was sexually assaulted by a man pretending to be a Lyft driver in February of 2024. The suit claims the driver was using someone else's profile.
A practice the lawsuit claims that Lyft is aware of and has not done enough to stop.
Wilford's attorney said the Lyft driver has not been arrested and the investigation is ongoing.
After a warm-up midweek across the state, an Arctic cold front is expected to arrive by Friday.
We can expect gusty winds, a steep temperature drop, and snow will develop shortly after the Arctic air along the Urban I-25 corridor and foothills, but very little snow is expected west of the Continental Divide.
And students at a Boulder County elementary school were placed on secure status Tuesday after a report of possible gunshots in the area.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office said the cause of the loud noise was actually...
A squirrel.
An employee from XL alerted the sheriff's office a short while after the noise was reported to let them know a squirrel had likely tripped an electrical fuse which caused the loud noises.
The school was taken off of secure status and all operations had returned to normal.

It's hour two of Just Form Talk Radio Show.
You know what that means.
We are going to keep going with some of the interesting stories that we've been pursuing so far this morning.
One of the stories we're going to continue on is the Pete Hexeth thing.
But before we do that, I want to take a second and welcome our good friend.
We haven't had him on in a while, but it's good to have him back with us here in studio.
You guys may know him from his show.
Swamp Fight, which appears here on 1360 KHNC. But without further ado, let's welcome our good friend, Jay Deplorable.
Jay D, how are you?
I am great, Craig.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
I hope everybody out there is having a good morning.
And, hey, the sun's shining, so it can't be all bad.
Yeah, you better enjoy this warmth now for the next couple days because it's about to get cold here.
Yeah.
We're going to be looking at highs in the teens and lows in the negative teens, so I'm looking forward to it, actually.
I do enjoy the cold for a little while until I stop enjoying it, right?
Yeah, for about five minutes.
Yeah, yeah, five minutes, and I'm like, man, I wish it was summer again.
But then when it gets 100 degrees here, then I'm like, all right, I'm ready for the cold to come back, you know?
Yeah, well, one thing about the ultra-cold, when it gets, like, really super cold, it is hard on the equipment for a radio station, you know, out at the tower sites and things like that.
But, hey.
You know, we've got our new transmitter actually on its way.
And ironically, it's supposed to get here last I heard was Monday, next Monday.
And I'm thinking, man, I hope it's not that cold.
Because they're supposed to deliver it and put it inside the new building out there and everything on Monday.
Can't wait to get it.
Can't wait to get it hooked up.
And again, thank all the listeners who donated to that program.
And thank our owner, Joe, for purchasing a brand new transmitter.
Yeah, I'm excited because I think it's going to expand our reach, right?
So a brand new transmitter is going to make the sound.
Better.
It's going to make the signal longer.
It's going to do a lot of stuff for us, right?
Yeah, all of the above.
Yeah, it's going to be really cool.
I'm excited for that.
You know, I think the high on Monday is 9 degrees and the low is negative 10. So it's going to be a day.
It's going to be quite a day.
Hopefully they can manage out there in the cold.
Maybe they'll just come back on Tuesday.
Who knows?
It's going to get installed, folks.
Hopefully it'll get installed when they say it will.
Oh, it'll get installed.
Yeah, it'll get installed.
I don't know what day.
Some things I want to cover here today.
J.D., you've probably been following the big story, which is the Pete Hegseth hearing that took place yesterday.
A part of his confirmation hearing is the question time, which he goes in for, where members of the Senate can, in a public forum, ask him questions about his You know, what he believes, what he'll do when he's secretary, what he's done in the past to get an idea of whether or not they want to confirm him as the appointed secretary of defense for the Trump administration.
But the question time kind of went how you thought it would go, in my opinion, how I thought it would go at least, where you had, you know, the Republican senators basically giving him pretty easy questions.
You know, not going at him too hard, but giving him an opportunity to kind of state his case for why he should be there.
And then, on the opposite side, the hysterical left-wing senators just losing their minds over every little thing that's happened in the time between his nomination and now, where, you know, most people would have said Pete Heggseth's a non-controversial individual.
Yeah, he had the whole...
He's admitted it.
You know, it's a very ugly spot on his record, which I, you know, taking that aside.
Overall, though, he has a pretty good background.
But one of the things that they've claimed about him, JD, interestingly enough, is that he is somehow a...
I don't know if it's a Nazi or a white supremacist or something in that vein because of a tattoo he has.
I'm going to play this clip from the hearing.
Let's listen.
What is this very offensive, extremist, racist tattoo that you have?
It's a tattoo I have right here, Senator.
It's called the Jerusalem Cross.
It's a historic Christian symbol.
In fact, interestingly, Recently, I attended briefly the memorial ceremony of former President Jimmy Carter.
On the floor of our National Cathedral, on the front page of his program, was the very same Jerusalem cross.
It is a Christian religious symbol.
And when the events happened before preceding the Biden inauguration, I was a part of the mobilization to defend that inauguration as someone who'd been a proud supporter of Donald Trump.
But also a member of the military.
Had orders to come to Washington, D.C. to guard that inauguration.
And at the last minute, those orders were revoked.
I'd never had orders revoked before.
I'd been on orders to a lot of places to do a lot of difficult and dangerous things.
They were revoked and I was not told why.
Later when I wrote my book, I was able to get information that was because I had been identified.
Someone who'd served in Iraq.
In Afghanistan, in Guantanamo Bay, holding a riot shield outside the White House, I'd been identified as an extremist.
Someone unworthy of guarding the inauguration of an incoming American president.
And if that's happening to me, Senator, how many other men and women?
How many other patriots?
How many other people of conscience?
We haven't even talked about COVID. Well, it's good to know Jimmy Carter is a white supremacist.
I had no idea.
Yeah, well, I guarantee you that senator that was questioning him isn't going to be accused of being a white supremacist.
Oh, yeah.
It's wild, this whole thing.
All right, we're hitting a break.
Let's go to the break.
We're coming back.
We'll keep talking about it.
It's just fascinating.
Stay tuned, folks.
You're listening to Just Informed Talk Radio.

At Warriors Revolution, we have the largest selection of tactical gear and ammo in northern Colorado.
But what many people may not know is that we now sell firearms.
And even despite the recent run on firearms and ammunition, we have plenty of product in the store, including ARs, AKs, Glocks, Sigs, HK, and more.
And don't forget all the bulk ammunition at the best prices in town.
Need to do a private firearms transfer?
We can do that, too.
I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, and our team is made up of veterans and security experts, not a bunch of salesmen.
Our team is trained and fought with much of the actual equipment we sell.
And one thing you should know is that we support the foundations and principles this great country was founded upon.
So if you need tactical gear, ammo, firearms, AR parts or upgrades, and even survival accessories, stop by and visit us on Ken Pratt Boulevard and Bowen Street in Longmont, or visit warriorsrevolution.com.
That's warriorsrevolution.com.
Being a parent, especially for the first time, with that comes a lot of self-doubt.
As a dad, I just try to lead by example.
When you're trying to be the best person that you can be, your kids see that and then they emulate that.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
And we're talking about, we're listening to some of the highlights, if you will, from the Pete Hegseth question time over on Capitol Hill that took place yesterday.
Interesting, interesting stuff, JD. I think I have a sneaking suspicion why...
The establishment doesn't like Pete Hegseth, and it has probably little to do with what they say publicly.
It probably has more to do with this.
I have a quick soundbite I'll play, and then we'll get your thoughts on it, J.D. Listen to this.
Bloating.
What are you going to do about that?
Senator, we're going to address that.
We won World War II with seven four-star generals.
Today we have 44 four-star generals.
There's an inverse relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield.
We don't need more bureaucracy at the top.
We need more warfighters empowered at the bottom.
So it's going to be my job working with those that we hire and those inside the administration to identify those places where fat can be cut so it can go toward lethality.
Thank you, Sir.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think that might be one of the reasons why they don't like them.
J.D., what do you think?
Industrial, you know, military con...
Of course.
Yeah, of course.
The Pentagon, man.
The Pentagon.
Yeah, they don't want anybody to mess with their sweet deal, so to speak.
But you know that clip earlier of that senator that had brought up his Hegseth's tattoo?
I've got to wonder, I don't know if you know this or not, but was that...
I have to think that that was a Republican senator.
Am I wrong on that?
Because if it's a Democrat...
No, he was asking it like, can you explain this?
Because he was kind of like tongue-in-cheek saying, this is not what people say it is.
He actually let him talk for so long and explain.
A Democrat would never do that.
Oh boy, I have some clips of that.
I mean, it's so crazy.
I mean, it never ceases to amaze me, like that senator from Hawaii.
Oh yeah.
Mazie Horano or something like that, saying that Hegseth is, that he's going to lead a military invasion of Greenland?
She actually said that, dude.
I'm actually for that.
I say we should.
I don't think we need to invade, though.
I think they'll literally join us voluntarily.
But why not?
We've invaded everything else.
Why not take something that's actually cool?
The Danes are already talking about wanting to talk to us about it.
Yeah.
I think the Greenland thing...
And they freak out.
And they're framing it all like, oh, well, Trump's going to be a dictator.
It's like...
I mean...
Is it really a dictator if you're just working toward the interests of the American people?
I don't know.
Look, you've got two types of Democrats that are grilling these people and these appointees and whatnot through these confirmation processes.
You've got the Democrats who absolutely know what they're saying isn't true, but they don't care.
Because this is what they do.
And then you've got the Democrats who, like this Maisie Hirono, who actually do believe that Pete Hegseth would lead a military invasion into Greenland.
The crazies.
So you got both.
You got both.
Which one do you think is more dangerous?
Because I'm like trying to debate it in my mind and I can't.
I mean, they're equally, but, like, if you had to pick one, which one would you say is more dangerous, the one who knows or the one who don't?
That's a great question, man.
That's a great question.
I would say probably the crazies, because they actually believe it.
Yeah, that's probably true, because, I mean, at least with the ones who know they're full of garbage, they, you know, perhaps you could persuade them.
But if you're ideologically driven, you become very dangerous.
Yeah, a good example of that, Craig, is Obama.
How he acted around Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral.
Right there is the perfect example of that.
Yeah, he knows it's BS, but he, you know what I mean?
Yeah, exactly.
Right.
Yeah, and I don't like Obama either.
It's so funny.
Did you see the thing Trump posted where it says the conversation?
Yeah.
Oh, man, I never played that on air.
I should play that at some point.
It's kind of funny.
All right, so what else?
You know, there were some other funny moments.
This one got a laugh.
This was the new senator from Montana who replaced that despicable John Tester guy.
Oh, yeah, I love this guy.
Tim Sheehy.
Pretty funny little exchange here.
Let's listen to that.
Yeah.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Pete, I'm actually going to ask you questions because I want to hear your answer.
How many genders are there?
Tough one.
Senator, there are two genders.
I know that well.
I'm a she-hee, so I'm on board.
What is the diameter of the rifle round fired out of an M4A1 rifle?
That's a 5.56.
How many push-ups can you do?
I did five sets of 47 this morning.
What do you think our most important strategic base is in the Pacific?
In the Pacific, Guam is pretty strategically significant.
How many rounds of 5.56 can you fit into the magazine of an M4 rifle?
Depends on the magazine, but standard issue is 30, Senator.
Yep.
And what size round does the M9 Beretta standard issue sidearm from the military fire?
A 9mm, Senator.
What kind of batteries do you put in your night vision goggle?
Duracell.
So right there, you're representing qualifications that show you understand what the warfighter deals with every single day on the battlefield.
You understand what happens on the front line, where our troops will be.
And what happens, unfortunately, in this country is decisions made in rooms like this, bad decisions, End up in dead 17, 18, 19-year-old Americans.
And those Americans rarely come from families that sit in rooms like this.
They come from lower, middle-income families who sometimes the militaries are on their way out.
And they join because maybe they want to go to college.
Maybe they know the choice.
Maybe they love this country.
But for whatever reason, they joined and they saw it on the dotted line.
And when people like us screw up, they don't come home.
And that's the one thing...
What I care about is you remember when I shut the door when you came with your entourage, Senator Coleman, I've known for a long time, and you and I sat together and asked you one question.
You remember what that question was?
Are you going to have the backs of the warfighters?
Exactly.
What is going to be your number one priority?
And I don't care, frankly, what all these letters and articles say.
I've been part of a smear campaign, too.
I get it.
I care that you're going to have one thing in mind when you sit in that chair in that five-sided building, and you told me what that was.
So with that, you have my support.
I'm sorry you have to go through a process like this.
Yeah, I like that line of questioning.
I think Sheehy's...
I like that guy.
Yeah.
I thought that was funny.
I know about him, Sheehy.
But now let's go to the intolerable leftist.
Senator Gene Shaheen, not Sheehy, a Democrat from New Hampshire.
She asked some interesting questions about women serving in the armed forces.
Let's listen to that.
Mr. Hegseth, do you know what percentage of our military is comprised of women?
I believe it's 18 to 20 percent, Senator.
It's almost 18 percent.
And in fact, DOD's 2023 demographic report indicated that there are more women serving now.
And there are fewer separations, so they make up a critical part of our military.
Wouldn't you agree?
Yes, ma'am.
Women in our military, as I have said publicly, have and continue to make amazing contributions across all aspects of our battlefield.
Well, you also write in your book, The War on Warriors, with the chapter...
The deadly obsession with women warriors that, quote, not only are women comparatively less effective than men in combat roles, but they are more likely to be objectified by the enemy and their own nation in the moral realms of war.
Mr. Hegseth, should we take it to believe that you believe that the two women on this committee who have served honorably and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable?
I'm incredibly grateful for the two women who've served our military in uniform, and including in the Central Intelligence Agency, contributions on the battlefield.
Indispensable contributions.
Senator, I would like to clarify, when I'm talking about that issue, it's not about the capabilities of men and women, it's about standards.
And this committee has talked a lot about standards.
Standards that we, unfortunately, over time, have seen eroded in certain duty positions, certain schools, certain places, which affects readiness, which is what I care about the most.
Readiness on the battlefield.
I appreciate that.
And so, my comments, time and time again, to standards.
Statements publicly have not been to that effect.
After your nomination, you did state to a group of reporters that you, quote, support all women serving in our military today who do a fantastic job.
So, the question is basically framed as, oh, you hate women and think they can't do anything.
To which, you know, what he was writing about in his book is like, there is a different set of standards for women when they join the military and then go into combat roles.
Like, they have to do less pull-ups.
They have to do less push-ups.
Absolutely.
They have more time to run, you know, a certain length.
He's saying if you're doing that, then you're really creating a scenario where our readiness is being affected negatively, and that's dangerous.
Is there anything wrong with that?
Absolutely not.
I mean, it all goes back to the Democrats' DEI hiring system.
They look at everything that way.
Everything that way.
It doesn't make any difference.
If they were in charge of the NFL football league, they would do the same thing.
They would have women who couldn't block my grandmother on the offensive lines of these teams.
Arguably, it may be more enjoyable to watch, though, people just getting completely eviscerated on the field.
Although it would basically turn into flag football.
Yeah, I mean, like the Pro Bowl is now.
Yeah, exactly.
But yeah, I mean, look, the guy's a warrior, man.
He's a veteran.
He's a war vet.
He knows what he's talking about.
He's lived it.
He's been there and done that.
He's a great guy.
And yeah, he's not going to make the LBTQ... PRSN, whatever, and women and everybody out.
He's not going to make every single group happy.
But he understands how important women are to our military and the CIA. I mean, who found bin Laden?
Women!
Yeah, it's honestly...
Did they find Bin Laden?
No, I'm sure.
Well, you know.
Nick, no.
We might bring him in.
He'll tell us.
But the thing that I like about this is that it's Democrats kind of going through this same process of, you know, prioritizing the woke stuff over the reality.
And the reality is, you know, what he said.
It's about readiness.
It's about making our military.
Like, when I look at Pete Hegseth, you know, and I look at what his position represents, you know, I do understand he has sort of a assorted background with his personal life.
But I'm not looking for, you know, in regard to somebody running our defense, I'm working for a soldier who understands, you know, the battlefield and understands readiness and understands how to make our military as capable as it can be.
Did you hear that comment that one of the senators...
it might have been the same guy from Montana Sheehy or whatever, but when they asked the question of all the senators, how many of you have come in here late at night for a vote drunk?
And everybody just started laughing.
I haven't heard that, but that is the best thing I've ever heard.
Yeah, when they were trying to grill him about his DUI, and he was like, seriously, people?
Not to be...
Not to be graphic about it, but if you really wanted to go there, I would have loved to have heard one of the centers say, oh, and how many of your staff come in here to film homosexual pornographic videos in the chamber that we're sitting at right now questioning him?
True, true.
That might have drawn a little bit of a silence, too.
Yeah.
Because that's what these people do, man.
They're sick.
Oh, they are.
They're sick freaks, a lot of them.
We really are.
Anyway, we're having a break.
Stay tuned, folks.
We're coming back after.

I'm your host, Craig James, with our good friend Jay Deplorable from his show, Swamp Flight.
You'll hear it here on 1360 KHNC. But we're talking about Pete Hegseth and this hearing.
And there were some real gems coming out of it, to be quite honest.
This is one of them.
A little bit of an exchange between Pete Hegseth and our good friend...
Pocahontas, a.k.a.
Elizabeth Warren.
Listen to this.
In other words, you're quite sure that every general who serves should not go directly into the defense industry for 10 years?
You're not willing to make that same pledge?
I'm not a general, Senator.
You'll be the one, let us just be clear, in charge of the generals.
Oh, yeah.
He'll be the one in charge.
That was Pocahontas.
Yeah, it's hard to play a lot of their stuff.
The one person who I, like, and this, I don't know if this is going to get me flack or not, but there's one member of the left who I absolutely think is one of the most reprehensible people in...
In real life and in politics and otherwise.
And it's this person who is the representative from, I believe it's Michigan, Senator Tammy Duckworth.
Oh, yeah.
She is the most foul and reprehensible person I've ever heard.
She hides behind her disfigurement from her military service, I think, as a way of creating this sort of veneer of being patriotic when she couldn't be anything further from that.
She hates America.
She hates everything this country stands for, and somehow she represents it as a senator in what would be considered one of our most prestigious political bodies.
It's rather disgusting to...
But here is her...
Yeah, she's got issues.
She's a horrible human being, and I mean that in the most real sense.
I cannot tell you how much I dislike her and have followed her for years now.
The things she says, the things she believes are absolutely...
And she gets away with it because of, like I said...
Whatever her background is with serving in the military and her disfigurement through, I think it was combat service where she had an incident.
But she is horrible.
She's a horrible human being.
And she can get away with saying the most disgusting, heinous things because she hides behind that, you know, the valor that she claims to have.
So let's listen to this exchange between her and Hegseth.
Have you led an audit of any organization, yes or no?
I don't want a long answer, yes or no.
Have you led an audit of any organization of which you were in charge?
Senator, in both of the organizations I ran, we were always completely fiscally responsible.
Yes or no, did you lead an audit?
Yes or no, did you lead an audit?
Yes or no.
What are you afraid of?
You can't answer this question.
Yes or no, did you lead an audit?
Do you not know this answer?
Senator, every part of my leadership of these organizations has been misrepresented from top to bottom.
I will take that as a no.
What were the findings?
Though there were no findings, you've never led an audit.
What guidance did you give the auditors?
None, because you've never led an audit.
Nobody expects you to be an accountant, Mr. Hexath.
What we expect is for you to understand the complexity of this Pentagon budget process that is absolutely necessary to outfit our warfighters.
I mean, that kind of disrespect is what you should expect for most of these people, but I just have a particularly big bone to pick with that woman because she is just the most reprehensible person I've ever seen in Congress.
Yeah, it's really sad.
I mean, yeah, I have my own ideas on her and what's going on with her, Yeah, it really is.
It's sad.
It really is.
Well, speaking of the hypocrisy of Congress, this was an interesting exchange that they had.
Let's listen to this.
This is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, who serves Oklahoma.
And here's his exchange with Hegstaff and the rest of the senators there.
This might be the one you're referring to.
I don't remember.
To go off memory on this.
Getting some advice from my second-in-command.
Yeah, but I'm just making a point because there's a lot about qualifications.
I think it's so hypocritical of senators, especially on the other side of the aisle, be talking about his qualifications, not going to lead the secretary or be the secretary of defense, and yet your qualifications aren't any better.
You guys aren't any more qualified to be the senator than I'm qualified to be the senator, except we're lucky enough to be here.
But let me read you what the qualifications of the Secretary of Defense is, because I googled it, and I googled it and went through a lot of different sites, and really it's hard to see, but in general, the U.S. Secretary of Defense position is filled by a civilian.
Yep.
That's it.
If you have served in the U.S. Army forces...
And I've been in the service for, you have to be retired for at least seven years, and Congress can weigh that.
And then there's questions that the senator from Massachusetts brought up about serving on a board inside the military industry, and yet your own secretary that you all voted for, Secretary Austin, we had to vote on a waiver because he stepped off the board of Raytheon.
But I guess that's okay because that's a Democrat Secretary of Defense.
But we so quickly forget about that.
And then Senator Cain, or I guess I better use the senator from Virginia, starts bringing up the fact that what if you showed up drunk to your job?
How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?
Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their job?
And don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have.
And then how many senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives?
Did you ask them to step down?
No.
But it's for show.
You guys, make sure you make a big show and point out the hypocrisy because a man's made a mistake.
And you want to sit there and say that he's not qualified?
Give me a joke.
It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as this higher standard and you forget you got a big plank in your eye.
We've all made mistakes.
I've made mistakes.
And Jennifer, thank you for loving him through that mistake.
Because the only reason why I'm here and not in prison is because my wife loved me too.
I have changed, but I'm not perfect.
But I found somebody that thought I was perfect.
And for whatever reason, you love Pete, and I don't know why.
But just like our Lord and Savior forgave me, my wife's had to forgive me more than once, too, and I'm sure you've had to forgive him, too.
And so thank you.
Yeah, that's it.
That's the one.
Well, there you go, right?
I mean, you hear that, and you've got to think to yourself, man, those are some great salient points, right?
Yeah, it was amazing.
That was, yeah, what he had to say was incredible.
It really was.
Nobody could have put it any better than that.
And he definitely went after the hypocrites, for sure.
Yeah, and if there's one thing our political bodies are filled with, it's hypocrisy.
Oh, yeah, more than anything, except sinners.
Yeah, well, that too.
Yeah.
If we could bottle their hypocrisy and sell it, we could pay off the national debt, I think, pretty quickly.
Yeah, we'd sure sell the heck out of that on the big blue button page.
That was a commodity.
We'd be running gangbusters right now.
You know, I think overall my thought on Peg Seth, as we kind of wrap that up, is that he's qualified.
He'll do okay.
I think he, you know, I think he'll listen to Trump, which is good, and hopefully Trump will make good, sound decisions.
And I hope he's able to challenge Trump where it's necessary to make sure that the best outcome, best decisions are being made.
That would be my hope.
And he knows the people in the military to listen to.
That's what he knows.
Yeah, I've heard from friends that he's connected to the right people.
He is.
So that's good.
Yeah.
So, all right.
Well, we'll see what happens with Hegseth.
Who knows?
Everybody stay tuned.
We're coming right back after a quick break, and then we'll get into some other interesting stories.
Keep it locked in here.

Welcome back to Just Form Talk Radio.
I am your host, Craig James, with Jay Deplorable, a.k.a.
JD, in studio with us.
Yeah, we had one text about Pete Hegseth that I thought was worth sharing.
Somebody wrote in and said that regarding Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing, the Republican Utah Senator John Curtis is the holdout.
Apparently he was a Democrat until 2006, and he is the guy who has filled Mitt Romney's seat after Mitt Romney stepped down.
Interesting, interesting information.
And, you know, the Utah thing.
So Utah is a crazy situation out there because, you know, they're Mormon.
And I don't know what's going on out there.
But, yeah, there are Mormon Church of Latter-day Saints have controlled that state pretty strongly.
They run that thing.
It's kind of like a mini Catholic church, really, if you think about it.
Utah's been like that since the early 1800s with Brigham Young.
Yeah, exactly.
The Brigham Young and all the other stuff that went on to make that all come around.
I don't know.
It's hard to read what they're doing.
A lot of the stuff they keep very close to the vest as far as, you know, they're just positioning for their own, you know.
Sure.
I think really, if they had it their way, they would be like a sovereign state, kind of like Vatican City out there.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
They don't want anything to do with us.
They don't want anything, you know what I mean?
Like, it's kind of funny, but it's also kind of...
Disturbing and probably dangerous if you think about it.
But, yeah, I don't know.
The holdout there is probably because they want something, more guarantees for the Mormon Church in return, I would imagine.
That would be what I would imagine that they're horse trading for behind closed doors.
Right, JD? Oh yeah, I think you'd be right about that.
I mean, Brigham Young thought of himself and all of his people thought of himself as the governor of Utah.
So, I mean, that's what they have, that's been their way of thinking since day one of moving there.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, like I said, it's kind of like a mini Catholic church and they want to be Vatican City and they don't want anybody to...
I mean, the way that states run is actually kind of interesting.
But regardless, thank you for the text.
That was interesting.
We have another text we'll get into in a second.
Well, actually, let's just go to it since we're here.
Somebody texted in and said, the bottom line for me is, who should be setting policy for the Warriors protecting my family, woke or warrior?
I don't know.
I think that's fair, right?
Yeah.
Great, for sure.
I feel like if that's the simplistic way of looking at it, then obviously Pete Hegseth is the choice.
I love simplicity.
That's what I like.
Common sense and keeping it simple.
If you do that and you keep God in your life, you're going to be okay.
Amen.
Well, and I love what he said about, you know, and it's true because he wasn't the first one to say it, but the point that, you know, we won World War II with however many generals, I think it was like four, maybe?
I thought it was four or 14. No, four.
Four or 14. It was four?
Yeah.
So we won with four generals, basically, and today, you know, we have however many.
400 or something.
44 four-stars now.
44 four-stars.
Four-star generals, 44 of them.
Unbelievable.
It really is.
That is just shocking, but it's not surprising, I guess.
It is shocking, however, if you think about it.
Well, if you do what somebody wants you to do in the military-industrial complex, guess what?
We'll get you another star.
Yeah, if you make sure Raytheon gets that contract, you'll get that star for sure.
This is probably one of the funniest things.
I don't know how well this translates to radio, but somebody put this together, and to describe it to you is how I will make this funny.
So it's kind of like a meme, but it's a video that was put out there.
And it's Pete Hegseth's head in the middle of a screen with four, you know, four screens surrounding him, kind of like the Brady Bunch.
And it's all the female senators, and this is what it sounds like.
He's just standing there.
He's sitting there looking like displeased.
Yes or no.
Did you get an audit?
Do you not know this answer?
I definitely get it.
And then the caption is, this is literally worse than active combat.
I'm sorry.
That made me laugh out loud when I saw that yesterday.
Could you imagine if those women surrounded him were those senators, those female senators grilling him?
Oh, dude, that's the whole meme.
Yeah, I mean, wow.
He's got the 10,000-mile stare.
He's just like...
Rolling his eyes.
Putting me through this.
But I guess finally one of the stories I wanted to get into real quick here is...
Trump's tweet on the IRS I think is interesting.
He says this.
He says, Now,
the question becomes, J.D., is...
There's a conundrum that Trump has just created for the left-wing politicians.
They love taxation, right?
But do they love taxing when it's not the American people?
That's the question you have to ask yourself.
No, they don't.
They don't care if we have to give up most of our money that we work hard for.
They don't care about that.
But if it's their...
If they're donors and the companies that they're making money on overseas and things like that, then yeah, they will definitely protect those foreigners before they will protect the U.S. taxpayers.
It's a matter of time before we hear the...
This is a tyranny.
He's taxing our foreign competitors.
Oh, my gosh.
The Bidens ain't going to like it.
No.
Oh, my gosh.
All right.
Well, we'll see what happens with that.
If we abolish the IRS and just get this ERS going...
That'd be awesome.
I'm in, dude.
I hate taxes.
Let them pay for it, baby.
We built China.
They can build our country now again.
All right.
Stay tuned.
We're coming back after the break.

Welcome back to Just Swarm Talk Radio.
I'm your host, Craig James, with Jay Deplorable from Swamp Fight joining us.
And it's been a great show, Judy.
It's always a pleasure to have you on.
I'm glad you were able to...
Join us once again.
It's been a while, but it's always good to get back.
Yeah, I love coming on, man.
I appreciate it.
Get back in the saddle, as they say, right?
Yeah.
But really quick, I want to give you a minute to give your final thoughts for the show.
Anything you want to shout out, talk about your show, whatever it is, just go ahead.
Take it away.
Yeah.
With the Pete Hexa thing and all the other confirmation hearings, some of them are going to be...
Okay, not a big deal.
Like Rubio, some of them are going to be like this.
Probably none of them are going to be as bad as the Supreme Court justices' confirmations a few years back.
Trump's appointees.
But it is what it is.
This is what they do.
The bottom line is that the Republicans have the majority.
And Pete Hegseth will be confirmed.
I mean, it's just a show.
If you think of any time TV cameras are in the Senate or the House and they're allowing cameras in, get ready for a show because that's all it is.
Yeah, it's all kabuki political theater.
Yeah, it is.
So, truly.
Everybody, go check out JD's show, Swamp Fight.
Thanks for coming on here, brother.
We always enjoy having you with us.
Thanks for having me.
Remind us what days and times your shows are on, because I know it's changed a little bit.
Wednesdays and Fridays at 5 p.m., and then Saturdays at 2, but kind of been doing a little something different this last weekend.
We did something different with the Saturday show.
Did a classic vinyl with JD. And I couldn't believe the response, how great the response was.
So I'm glad people like that.
My cousin would love that.
He runs a record store.
It's a fun show.
I mean, and it's actual vinyl, you know.
But anyway, that's the dates and the times.
Cool.
Everybody check them out.
Everybody check them out.
And thanks for coming on the show.
So you know our final segment we have is God's Grace is Greater.
I kept it short and simple because we talked about hypocrisy today.
I went to the verse I go to when I try to understand.
You know, how to deal with hypocrisy.
And this is from Romans, chapter 12, and it's verse 9. And it says this, Love must be without hypocrisy.
Detest evil and cling to what is good.
That's it, folks.
That's as simple as it gets.
If we are going to show true love in the Christian form to one another, it must be without hypocrisy.
So when you see the hypocrites lying, you know that they are devoid of that which God has told us we must have within ourselves.
So in that, remember, detest what is evil, but also cling to what is good.
Right, J.D.? Unconditional love.
Yeah.
That's right.
All right, so we're going to leave it there.
But if you guys haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, here's my offer to you today.
You can do it.
All you have to do, open your heart, say a prayer, call on His name, accept Him as your Lord and Savior, and watch what can happen in your life, how it can change.
Because great things can happen once you do that.
But that's up to you, and I hope you guys do that.
