Patrick Byrne Exposes the Inner Coup: Election Manipulation, Bribery & the Enemy Within
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
These people thought that's where they were.
They thought they were never going to be discovered.
They thought the United States, as we know it, was over.
There was one party ruled from now on.
No one was ever held to account.
And they thought they were getting away with crazy stuff.
The money was also used to corrupt our system.
America is going to find out that the craziest things you heard in the fall of 2020 that were dismissed as being so absurd are actually true.
Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I am joined by just an extraordinary man, Patrick Byrne, the founder of Overstock.com and also was named Entrepreneur of the Year and is the author of a book called Danger Close and is here to talk about an extraordinary array of subjects.
So welcome.
Thank you.
Mike, it's an honor to be here at Brighteon.
Great, great business.
Well, thank you, sir.
It's an honor to have you here.
And I interviewed you years ago at an event.
Reawaken America tour.
That's right.
And since then, we haven't been able to have an interview.
So I'm really glad you're here.
I'm here anytime, anytime for you.
I love Brighton.
You, Brighton people, I remember in the Reawaken America tour learning how a lot of people were shut out from the mass media, found homes and a voice through Brighton.
So you really did God's work here.
Well, thank you.
Now, wow, you, it's very difficult for people to get to grasp who you are and all the different things that you've done, which are outlined in your book that I really want to encourage people to read.
But you have, by your own words, you have been involved in some pretty nefarious plots in the past.
I'm a villain.
I'm one of the villains, make no mistake.
Well, I wouldn't say that in the present tense, but you've been involved in some fascinating things.
And I'd like to go through a few of those here.
And I have so many questions for you.
Everyone ready.
You set up Hillary Clinton for a $18 million bribe.
That's correct.
Successfully.
Correct.
January 16th, 2016.
In a hotel, eighth floor, I believe.
Tell us about that, how you got pulled into that situation.
Well, this is where this is where we should really start.
The coup, what we were living through, America, is a coup, a soft coup against the United States.
John Brennan, James Comey, and Barack Obama launched it.
It began around Thanksgiving of 2015.
I was directed in 2010.
So as my book makes clear, I've had this very strange relationship with Uncle Sam.
I never expected it to come out in my lifetime.
It was never supposed to.
And we have a lot of reasons to be mad at each other, Uncle Sam and I.
I know they're angry at me that I've come out, but they put me in a ridiculous position.
I was involved in a bunch of crazy stuff, which turned out to be this coup that everyone's living through.
So that, and that was one of them.
In Thanksgiving of 2015, I was directed.
They took me off something I was working on, which was really the origins of the Russia hoax.
And they said, we have something more important for you to work on.
You're going to help us set up Hillary Clinton and the Sting.
And they gave me the background.
Everything's explained in the book.
And I successfully set my mission as one fellow in the room ended up summarizing it.
Patrick, somewhere in the world, there's going to be a room.
And somewhere in the next two months, there's going to be a room.
And Hillary Clinton's going to walk into that room.
And the bag man from Azerbaijan is going to walk into that room.
They spend 10 minutes alone and then they leave.
You pull that set of circumstances together anywhere you want, anywhere in the world.
And it is the case seven weeks later in a hotel in D.C., that meeting took place.
And I had sort of, and Hillary, knowing what was the point of the meeting, was to accept a bribe, took the meeting and went in.
And as you explain, it seems like the purpose of this was so that the controllers, Obama, would have this dirt on Hillary to control her as she served out two terms as the first female president.
Was that the plan?
That's correct.
And this is where I started, like things started coming off.
After we successfully did this, I was told to forget about it and wasn't sitting well with me.
And I went back to have another meeting.
And this time it was not just Comey's people.
It was a direct representative from John Brennan in the room.
And I was told I had to forget it, that it happened.
And what was eventually explained to me, they had some lies that they knew I was seeing through.
And eventually they kind of let their hair down and they told me, and I'll repeat this word for word because it's so key to understanding the last decade.
Patrick, so this is early February 2016.
They said, Patrick, at this point, President Obama has his people across the federal bureaucracy, but especially the Department of Justice.
Hillary Clinton is going to be president for eight years, and nothing's going to change that.
But think of it this way.
While she's president, think of that information.
Think of there being a Bunsen burner at the heart of the DOJ.
And the information about the bribes is going to sit on that Bunsen burner.
The hand on the Bunsen burner is going to be one of Barack Obama's people.
So if Hillary's a good girl and defends Obamacare, the flame stays low.
If she's a bad girl and thinks for herself, the flame gets turned up.
This way, Barack Obama is going to manage Hillary Clinton for eight years that she's president.
Then she steps down and Michelle's going to run.
And Patrick, that's the plan.
Knowing what you know about all of this, do you think that Barack Obama also controlled Joe Biden in a similar manner?
Oh, yeah.
Joe Biden, no more, not much needs to be said about his mental state.
Barack Obama has a woman named Susan Rice, who I actually happen to have met at Oxford in our student days.
I was at Cambridge.
She was at Oxford.
Doubt she would remember, but I remember meeting her about 1989 in a dining hall in Oxford.
She's actually a very hardworking and evil person.
I understand Barack Obama himself is rather not so evil and not so hardworking, but he gets, he's, he's used by people who do that.
Anyway, she, while he was president, while Biden was president, she was over every morning at his home, which is eight blocks away from the White House, which is another strange thing.
Presidents have always had for centuries this tradition of you get out of the Oval Office and you leave.
It's just so disrespectful for him to have stayed in D.C.
But anyway, Susan Rice would go over every morning, get her information, and then go over.
And she was Joe Biden's, I think she was like domestic policy advisor, but she was in fact the shadow president.
And it's turned out there's all these thousands of pardons and so many thousands of official acts were done with no apparent knowledge of Joe Biden, including, it came out recently, Michelle Obama went over and did four pardons, I think came out recently, that she ran the auto-penn machine.
But there were five people that no one ever heard of, other than Jill, who were president, effectively.
Do you think that some of the subjects of those pardons were purchasing their pardons?
Yeah, I think everything's for sale with these Dems.
I think they're corrupt beyond, I think they thought they were never going to be found out.
And, you know, someone described the work of intelligence to me once as two demons in the dark making a deal.
Imagine if you got two demons and they're meeting in the dark, so no one's ever going to know the kind of deal they make, the kinds of evil two demons would get up to.
That's intelligence.
Well, these people thought that's where they were.
They thought they were never going to be discovered.
They thought the United States, as we know it, was over.
There was one party rule from now on.
No one was ever held to account.
And they thought they were getting away with crazy stuff.
Thousands and thousands of pardons signed by Autopenn.
If the president never formed an intention in his mind for someone to have a pardon, then I don't see how we can respect those pardons.
Well, and they had perfected the money laundering machine through government grants through USAID as well as even EPA, right?
So billions of dollars in grant money would go to these so-called environmental groups that launder it right back into the campaign coffers of Democrats.
It was actually a perfect con.
And not just, it's bad enough if that's all the money was used for, but the money was also used to corrupt our systems.
I'll give you an example.
Two examples.
One, there's an NGO called CEPS.
It's in Alexandria, Virginia, an NGO that's been staffed by George Soros and funded by the USAID, which we now know is a front for what?
The agency.
The USAID, that's what Doge and Elon Musk work has shown, that the USAID is just a front for the agency.
And they funded and staffed this Virginia-based NGO with the mission of spreading SmartMatic Venezuelan election technology across the world.
They moved it, spent $5.9 million from July of 2009.
Obama had just come in.
So Brennan and Obama spent $5.9 billion getting 26 nations to implement this election equipment that really is from Venezuela.
They're all been indicted.
They've now been indicted, you know.
And you probably don't want me mentioning these names on the air.
I don't want to keep you in trouble, get you in any trouble with anybody.
But just so you know, Sarah.
No, you can mention them, but wasn't Dominion already sold to a different company?
Dominion has announced that they've been sold.
No one knows any of the terms or whether the deal actually went through or they just announced it.
It's just kind of a puff of smoke.
We disappeared.
It's a big thing.
They're trying to escape.
Everyone's getting indicted and going to prison, and they know it.
We've made clear.
There's so many people have turned.
So many people have flipped.
Anyone in those organizations who have not yet flipped, you really are the weak link.
Believe me, people have flipped.
They're spilling.
All of them should be calling their local U.S. attorney right now and spilling their guts.
Because anyone who hasn't done it yet, you're really the jump.
Yeah.
So they were corrupting the world with our money.
It wasn't just Democrats pocketing it.
It was Democrats using it to then fund other political campaigns and them using it.
And I shouldn't say Democrats.
It's deep state and Republicans are using it to corrupt our systems and to corrupt the world.
So all this technology got spread around the world.
And it's from Estonia to Ghana to Philippines.
And we paid for it.
And it's also the CIA and they could use it to manipulate elections.
And we've also studied it since this happened.
Every single one of these countries had a hard left lurch that no one had expected.
It's because all their elections are being rigged.
And in fact, we now, I don't want to get ahead of the game.
You go ahead.
Well, I was going to ask you about the reality of the Venezuela situation then, because we know it's not about drug boats.
Yeah.
Right.
Everything, America is going to find out that the craziest things you heard in the fall of 2020 that were dismissed as being so absurd are actually true.
And I'll give you the quick, I think in 45 seconds, I'll try to give the synopsis.
Venezuela was taken over 25 years ago by a mafia.
Venezuela is where mafia turns into nation state, and the mafia is really the granddaddy mafia.
The Mexican mafias and other Latin American mafias report to it.
They took over a country that had the world's largest oil reserves, and they stole, they had to steal two things.
They stole the national oil company so they could line their own pocket.
And if you're sitting on the world's biggest oil reserves and they've now stolen, we think between two and four trillion dollars, they've pumped and lined their own pockets.
You also have to steal the election system so you can never be dislodged, never failed.
So they developed a computerized election system that's won them the 2004 referendum.
The Hugo Chavez loved it, saw the power, and they commercialized it.
And they commercialized it as a company called SmartMatic.
That's the commercial front of the Venezuelan mafia.
That's why it's now under indictment and money laundering and stuff, but a lot more to come.
And that technology is really the core technology of all these other systems that you hear about, whatever their brand is, there's really one factory back in Taiwan with one assembly line, and the things come off the assembly line and they get brands like SmartMatic or Dominion or Heart.
And it's all the same assembly line.
And the components are coming out of Beijing.
No kidding.
That's why we spent the last.
So you're voting, when you vote on this junk technology, the motherboards come over to Beijing and the software really goes all the way.
If you pierce through all the licenses and mergers and acquisitions and divestments and blah, blah, blah, when you, this software is technically all the way back, it's owned by the Venezuelan mafia.
Wow.
And just the risk.
I mean, we saw previously, for example, PC motherboards that were shipped to the United States out of China had secret components on them that could compromise the or spy on the, you know, I suppose the memory.
Yeah, they can burn things down.
I had somebody once tell me 15 years ago that in DC, that if they can burn things right down into the physical components in a way it's not on the, there's code that's not even on the hard drive anymore.
The bugs and the security things, you can't even find it no matter how closely you look on the hard drive.
It's burned into the atoms of other components.
And, you know, there's now cellular modems that are the size of the white in my fingernail here.
So they can, these, you know, we were told these things didn't have modems.
Turns out they all have, once we got a hold of them and looked, we discovered all these tiny modems.
And it's, well, yeah, they have modems, but it's not to connect to the internet.
It's just to talk to each other.
I mean, they kept changing their stories.
But yeah, it's completely, if your supply chain goes back to Beijing and the software comes to the Venezuelan mafia, our elections are completely unsecure.
Well, this is incredibly worrisome because we're only one year away from midterm elections here in the U.S.
And we have not seen the mass arrests that many, many Trump supporters had hoped for.
You've mentioned some arrests, some indictments, but this is my opinion.
I feel like Pam Bondi is slow walking a lot of things like Jeff Sessions did in Trump's first term.
Are we actually going to, because if these machines remain in play in the upcoming election, based on what you've just said, how can we trust it's going to be honest?
We can't.
No way.
If these machines remain in play, we cannot trust any result.
In our country or 71 other countries, they have used this.
We have the people, we have the defectors, have defected from Venezuela and given this all.
72 nations.
In fact, the most dramatic moment for me in the last five years was, can I give you one moment of high drama involving Mike Flynn?
He came over.
We had 29 people from different countries, but who were involved in this mafia worldwide, but including a bunch of the technologists from Venezuela stashed away in a safe house in Switzerland.
And summer, a year and a half ago, he came over and met with them.
and checked them out for two hours and listened to their stories.
And he demonstrated, you know, they have government IDs.
They demonstrate from Venezuela.
They demonstrate their software.
They can make these machines stand up and whistle Dixie.
They can make them spit out any results they want and there's no record.
It's all been contrived that way.
And as we were about to leave and General Flynn, who's got two master's degrees in telecom and is quite technical besides being a famous, you know, sort of the Steve Jobs of his generation of intelligence officers, we're about to leave.
I said to the lead Venezuelan, tell the general how much this has been going on.
The guy kind of gulped and he looked at General Flynn and he said, sir, we have been manipulating elections in 72 nations for 20 years.
And for just a second, I saw Flynn who had kept his, I had asked him to be nice to these people because you're going to hear stuff that makes you angry.
He was like, of course, of course.
But when he heard that, I just saw him sink.
And I know what he was thinking.
He was thinking, I gave 37 years of my life to defending my country and the West.
And they came at us in a way we never expected.
It's so Chinese.
They came at us in a way that we never expected.
So national leaders are, for the most part, selected, not elected.
Was the Trump victory in 2016?
Was that a shock to the system?
And my follow-up question is, was Trump allowed to win in the most recent election or did he beat the system both times?
Well, three times actually, because he won in 2020 also.
He did win.
Something funny happened in 2020, before I'll get to.
But no, he was not allowed to win in 2016 or 2020.
He just over, you can override the cheat.
See, what they have is are 15 different ways of cheating.
And 14 of them are these different on-the-ground ways we've been hearing about the last five years.
And they're very scientific.
They look at a county and they say based on that they want to steal and they decide based on its laws and procedures and how they do things.
We're going to pick from our smorgasbord of 14, we're going to pick technique two, nine, and 11.
And they were like a year ahead of time.
They put people in.
They want, you know, that's another funny thing.
All over the U.S., there are Venezuelans involved in our election system.
Like if you go into the watch business and you run into a bunch of Swiss people, that makes sense.
Well, this was not a lot about watches.
Why is it that if you go into Houston or Atlanta or Chicago, deep in the election bureaucracies, you find all these Venezuelans?
Seem kind of odd?
Yeah.
Are they really known for pristine?
No.
So like hiring Haitians for economic advisors.
Right.
Or, or, well, we could make a lot of other groups.
Well, I'm going to get accused of racism for that comment, but hey, look, look around, folks.
You know, different cultures are skilled at different things.
So what they do is they pick from the 14 different ways of cheating how to cheat in your county.
And then they take sort of set it up for a year.
And then on election night, back in Serbia, and I know this sounds crazy, there is an office at the real headquarters of Dominion, the real headquarters of all of these systems is Spellgrade Serbia.
Really?
Dominion is allegedly a Denver company.
Nonsense.
It's all afront for Serbia.
It's all the all the decisions are made in Serbia.
The American office is just a front.
And I have this from people who are deeply involved in this.
I'm not touching anything that has to do with discovery or what we've gotten under depositions.
I'm talking about we have inf I have somebody who was Dominion Employee of the Month, we call him.
He was Dominion Employee of the Month some time ago.
And I mean, we have so much inside information from them.
So anyway.
Is more of this going to be coming out?
Oh, yeah.
Because we're bringing it out if the government does it.
But we're trying to give them the right to the ability to do the right thing.
But it's all coming out.
But we know they're not going to do the right thing.
No, they're going to do it.
There's people in the government who are fired up.
I don't want to name any names.
I can say Tulsi.
I don't want to say the people underneath.
Other people are trying to do the right thing.
She's on point.
There are people who get what's going on and who are trying to do the right thing and are not part of the problem.
Okay.
My goodness.
I have so many questions for you, but I'm going to have to take a tangent here.
We'll have to come back to this.
We have to bring up Tina Peters.
Tina Peters, who I interviewed before she was incarcerated, is even suffering from health problems right now.
The Democrats in Colorado, they have punished her for doing her job.
Yep.
But she can't be pardoned by Trump, as I understand it, because it's not a federal prosecution.
Is that correct?
How do we free Tina Peters?
I guess where I'm getting.
There are several ways, and the simplest and most elegant that could have been done by February 1st is January 21st.
And I've been in the room in the DOJ when a lawyer walked him through the paperwork that was prepared.
All it needed was the signature that declares she is a witness in an ongoing federal investigation.
And for her safety, we have to secure her.
She's currently in a prison in Colorado with a bunch of trend at Aragua gangsters are also in the prison.
And they know her importance to us.
She's a 71-year-old lady who's having to get in fist fights over a honey bun in the prison chow line.
And she's now, she's had lung cancer and she's, and now her lungs are filling up with phlegm in the last week, and she can't, they won't give her medical treatment.
They have abused her so badly.
The judge and prosecutor are going to be under investigation, I believe, if they're not already.
It was such a setup.
And she could be getting out tomorrow as an expert witness.
And there's a guy in the DOJ.
Oh, going back to your big question, Pam Bondi's not really running the DOJ.
Pam Bondi lives in Florida.
She takes the DOJ up to jet, up to D.C., goes into the White House, does the press conferences.
Then she goes home.
Sometimes she doesn't even swing by the DOJ.
There's a number two at the DOJ named Todd Blanche.
Todd Blanche was a lifelong Democrat, became a Republican at the beginning of last year to defend Trump and did a good job defending Trump.
Well, I don't know.
He lost.
He's batting zero for Trump.
He defended Trump in, I guess, I don't even know which of the, it was one of the nonsense cases, but it was maybe the real estate case.
And they're a crazy case.
He lost it, but that's, it's all, you can't blame him for that.
It was a phony.
But Trump liked him and made him number two at the DOJ.
And this is where, so I've come to love Trump.
I've come to love the guy 95% of the time.
5% of the time, he drives me crazy because these mistakes are unforced errors.
He's impetuous, and he meets somebody who likes them and he does something crazy, like make this guy the number two.
This guy has slow walked everything.
The reason Tina Peters was not out by January 25th was this guy, well, Todd Blanche.
That needs to be corrected immediately.
Well, he's now got a lot of people who have informing the U.S. or informing Trump directly.
A lot of people who Trump knows and trusts are now telling Trump, no, this is all true.
This guy's been the, he slow walks everything.
And he finally got haranged last after so much public haranguing.
He finally last week did something.
And what he did was, instead, what he should do is send out one U.S. Marshal with the paperwork and 2,000 Marines.
And if that warden doesn't surrender, Tina, he's committing a felony.
When somebody shows up with that kind of a warrant, it's not justiciable.
In fact, Trump has the authority legally to federalize the prison if he wants.
He can federalize the prison, any prison in America.
By law, he can say that's now a federal, he can do what he wants.
He's not, I don't think he has people who even advise him of his muscular options.
That's what I, you know, about this famous meeting between us in late 2020.
That's what General Flynn and I discovered.
He had not, once he understood what General Flynn and I were advising, he realized no one had even told him he had these options.
He can literally, under the federal law, he can federalize that prison.
He can send one U.S. Marshal and 200 Marines and shoot anyone who gets in their way.
Todd Blanche, but he shouldn't have to shoot anyone.
The wardens should surrender or else he's committing a felony.
And yet Todd Blanche, the DOJ, has slowed down.
If I told you how many things he slowed down, he put the kibosh on me, even though I probably know more about this aspects of this than anyone in America.
Like what was going on?
He put, I'm not, no federal official is legally able to talk to me.
No one is able to take, no federal agent in the FBI or DHS can meet with me.
They can't take evidence from me.
No one in the intelligence.
People I've known for years, I've lived decades, but there's always a number I can call.
If I need to talk to Uncle Sam, there's a number I can call.
No one's allowed to talk to me.
We found ways around this this summer and we've gotten them every, but Todd Blanche blocked for months information, incredibly important evidence coming into the government.
So this really leads to a big question I wanted to ask you after reviewing your book.
The question in my mind kept becoming, and I don't mean any disrespect by this, but why are they letting you live?
Right?
Because you know so much.
You are willing to testify against those who have, you believe, have corrupted our system.
You're a danger to a lot of powerful parties.
Flynn said to me once that I'm surprised I'm shocked they didn't kill you and your handlers.
You know the most radioactive stuff I've ever heard in my career, Patrick.
And he's had it all checked out.
Before we started doing much, he had somebody inside the government check and came back and said, every effing word of this is true, Michael, every word of bad story is true.
So, yeah, I think they didn't see how far off the reservoir.
I knew that that was always the risk, and I played things.
So I thought I was safe from that.
The point was reached in early 2021 that I was told by higher authority that, look, there is a list of 700 people that when this revolution is complete, there's 700 people who have no future in the U.S. and they're going to be allowed to leave, Patrick.
But there's a dozen who have a gold star by their name, and they're all going to get killed.
And you're one of the gold stars.
And that came from a federal person.
So my plan was to leave the country.
And I was actually packing up to leave the country when Mike Flynn called me.
I wrote a quick book about the election, was packing up, and Mike Flynn called and said, Patrick, move to Florida.
They've captured everything.
They've captured the White House, the Supreme Court, Congress.
The only thing they haven't captured is the American people.
I'm going to show you how we build a movement together and move down to Florida.
I said, sir, aren't they?
And I said, well, my plan was to go to Costa Rica or South America or just to live on a beach.
He said, Patrick, they'll kill you if you do that.
All they're going to do is how it works.
Some guy from the embassy will go over to some bar where the local gangsters hang out and say, here's an envelope with 10,000 bucks.
Go and whack this American who lives a mile up in that hut.
You're actually easier to kill outside the country.
And if you do that, we'll give you another 10,000 and the right to bring one suitcase into the country with no inspection.
That's how they pay gangsters.
I literally say, you do this and that.
Okay, next Thursday, you get a suitcase on the flight.
No one looks at it.
So that's how they've.
And I said, well, sir, if I stay in the country, can't they kill me anyway?
He said, well, they can, but there's a lot more paperwork involved.
But your best bet is to stay here and get as big as possible.
And once you get to a certain size, it backfires on them if they kill you.
However, I'm reconciled.
My line in the book is if they blow me up, I win.
And I mean that.
And through other reasons, I've died 500 times in a way.
Did you get to my medical history in the book?
No.
Well, I've been an end of life for 40 years.
I've had cancer three times.
I've had 117 surgeries.
They've stopped my heart 400 times.
So I've, in a sense, died 500 times.
What's 501?
And if they blow me up, I win.
Well, then that leads me to another question: is what is your purpose right now with the fact that you're here, the fact that you're doing the book?
You're spending a lot of your time and resources to get this message out.
What do you hope to accomplish?
We're not out of the woods yet.
Until we're out of the way, I want this to be done as quickly as possible.
And then I'm retreating to a place deep in the mountains.
I have a few cats, a few mules and horses, and live out my days.
But we're not out of the woods yet.
We have tripped up a Bolshevik revolution, but we are not out of the woods.
It's still there.
And people have to, we have to push this.
You know, we're down to the one-yard line, but as my father used to say, you don't get five points for getting the ball down to the one-yard line.
You get, you get it over the line, and we're not there yet.
Well, but that brings up the issue of why so many of us are really frustrated with Trump right now.
Like, I've sacrificed a lot for Trump over the years, heavily censored, smeared, et cetera, for supporting him for so long and just completely deplatformed.
My voice print isn't even allowed on YouTube.
I can't have a LinkedIn profile.
No, I am voice printed on YouTube.
My voice is banned.
People get strikes for interviewing me on YouTube.
Yeah.
I was just completely blacklisted, and that remains the case, despite our lawsuit that continues to this day.
Even X bans links to Brighton to this day because of Jack Dorsey.
And Elon hasn't reversed it because I think that X has been told by the intelligence community to not let my platform.
They have more of a I think that Elon has not fully groked how deep the control is, even in his own companies.
True.
Yeah, I agree.
But I'm frustrated with many of the things that Trump is doing, but mostly because I don't perceive that he's moving quickly enough to what you're talking about.
We have to stop this Bolshevik revolution.
You know, Obama's got plots to come back.
Hillary's still out there waiting in the wings.
Michelle could be ready.
And you got Newsom in California ready for the White House.
And he has big hair.
He's got Democrat hair that makes you look good on TV.
So the big hair guy usually wins in the elections because the electorate votes for Bill Clinton or they look good.
Quaft.
Yeah, right, right.
So who do we have that's going to run, that's going to beat Newsom?
Well, we have, these are a lot of questions.
First, yes, I do think the president is moving too slow, but that I'm also aware of these internal obstacles.
And yet in some sense, it's unforced errors.
When you put people in charge of things who are TV, he likes celebrities and he likes people with a lot of money.
I think he ought to look for people more.
He needs a few people at the top who have managed large enterprises successfully.
Say, for example, General Flynn.
And so he has, he gives, even look at the orders he gives about Tina Peters.
An order that he could give is, Pam, I want to see you and Tina Peters in my office Monday morning together, or you're fired.
That's an order.
Going on Truth Social and announcing an aspiration, I wish someone would let Tina Peters out, isn't what a president has to do.
A president has to say, Pam Bondi, or, you know, or there's all kinds, he needs, so he's, he does things, he lets people resist him.
At least it's different this time.
The first administration, people were like, there were a lot of outright Bolsheviks who were just trying to, now there's people even who go along with him.
I think that Todd Blanche probably to some extent actually would go along with them.
They're all getting threatened.
The word is out in D.C. that anyone who goes helps Trump is going to be tried for treason and hung.
That's probably true.
Oh, I know.
He's come back into power.
The law firms, remember he cut off some law firms from D.C.?
That's what they're doing.
They're spending their time writing up trees.
We have people on the inside.
I can't tell you where, but we have people on the inside.
We know just the names of about a dozen people deeply involved in it.
And there's a, and that's all been, but that's their plan.
So there are a lot of people who are, who might say they're with us, Mike, but when push comes to shove, they're looking at what's going on.
They're reading the TVs and who's going to win in 2028.
And they're just slow walking because that's what the establishment is telling them to do.
And any weakness on Trump's part only further motivates those people to slow walk everything.
And then Trump is making many unforced errors, as you say, at least from my perspective.
His handling of the Epstein files has been disastrous to flip back and forth.
Yeah, but I mean, he says it's a hoax, and then he says, no, the Democrats are involved.
And then he says, we can't release him.
And he says, we have to release them.
And attacking Marjorie Taylor Greene and so on.
Yeah, there's been this infighting that it's very unattractive and doesn't accomplish anything.
I've come to really like him.
And I've been public.
I didn't vote for him either the first two times.
I did this third time.
And I don't know.
See, I wasn't in this because I was a Trump lickan.
I was in this because I knew our election got stolen and I knew this inside information about how, so that's why I'm here.
However, I've come to love the guy, but he still makes me angry because I would give him a 95%, but there's this 5% where he's going too slow and he's trusting people.
You know, he likes people who are celebrities and he doesn't get that somebody like Oz is not a fellow who's run a law.
There's a difference between a Pam Bondi is a TV person.
She's now in charge of what, a hundred thousand person.
You know, that's a different executive experience.
Yeah, and they don't.
He gets TV.
So that bothers me.
And that might be the reason for some of the slow walking.
But really, I think he only now, since he's been in, really grasps what he's up against.
We're really up against an enemy force within our government.
You might as well consider traitors.
They're absolute traitors.
Everyone who took part in this.
Tell us about the documentary or the film, Enemy Within.
Well, the Enemy Within was Mike Flynn made it actually from my book, and he appears briefly in it.
I didn't want to reveal anything more that was in my book.
So I told the story.
It's a short book, 180 pages.
And there's my biography at the beginning, but explains how I became in contact with Uncle Sam and developed what I was frequently told was a unique or a non-standard relationship with Uncle Sam in my life.
And it was the honor of my life.
And I thought I would go to my grave.
I thought I would go to my grave.
We ended up in this crazy situation these recent years and I've come out.
But so that part of the movie explains that and then explains how that led me to get drawn into what was really the origin of the Russia hoax.
And then this thing where I set up Hillary Clinton for a bribe, that whole story gets told within the movie.
And it's all true.
And a lot of other things that come out also, the rape and murder.
Did you read to the rape and murder part?
You got to get to the rape and murder.
Which rape and murder?
In the book, there's a story of bribery, and there's also ones coming about rape and murder.
I don't want to give anything away, but it's a good story.
Where can people find the movie and the book?
Danger Close?
Danger Close is on Amazon.
You can get the Enemy Within on Amazon, on Rumble.
If you go to enemywithindocuSeries.com, it shows you different places it's playing.
It's $15.
It's three episodes.
EnemyWithindocuseries.com?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
And General Flynn is the producer of that film.
Yes.
He didn't put his name on it, but he appears in it.
And he appears and gives a little blurb.
And do you have my book by any chance?
Not physically here.
Well, he wrote the preface to my book, too.
And in my book, he opens the preface saying, through my work in national security and intelligence, I was aware of the work of Patrick Byrne.
He's a national intelligence asset.
He's not making this stuff up.
Your producer sent me the PDF, which is thank goodness, because there's a lot.
Okay.
So again, the book is Danger Close.
The film is The Enemy Within.
And is there anything else you want to add before we wrap up?
No, that's great.
That's great.
Okay.
Well, thank you, Patrick, for I mean, I think your testimony is really critical for us to understand what happened and also to be prepared for what's about to happen because this isn't over, as you say.
And I really hope and pray that your knowledge will be used to help defeat evil and help restore our republic.
From your lips to God's ear.
And just today, as I was waiting for you, I saw an announcement that a grand jury has been impaneled in Florida to dig into all of this stuff.
And I hope to get a chance to be testifying to them.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Great.
Just today.
Well, thank you for your time today, sir.
Thank you, Michael.
It's great to have you here.
I got you.
All right, Patrick Byrne, everybody, be sure to check out his book and the film that we just mentioned there as well.
Oh, here we go.
And share this interview.
Feel free to repost this on Rumble or BitChute or Odyssey or other platforms.
We need to get the word out about this.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com.
And thank you all for watching.
