A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Christ is king!
Yeah, look at who Donald Trump is empowering in his new administration.
This is not what people wanted.
I mean, forget about a White House cabinet.
Donald Trump is making it into a junk drawer.
Do you think you're being Kavanaughed right now?
I had a member not 45 minutes ago look me in the eye in private, just he and I, and say, that's what they're trying to do to you.
That's what they're trying to do to you.
That's their playbook.
Get ready for more.
And they're gonna make it up, just like they have so far.
Kash Patel, he'll make it out of committee.
I don't know if he'll get any Democrats, but I think he'll get all Republicans.
This morning, the New York Post reporting there were messages written on the shell casings left behind on the scene.
The messages allegedly saying, quote, deny, depose, and defend.
The 2016 elections was like a turning point.
That was a moment where they realized, like, this is actually dangerous.
Like, allowing people to freely communicate online and say whatever they want completely undermines the propaganda that they have been distributing.
Yeah, it was the final straw because when Trump won, That was, I guess, both the final straw and then the massive anvil that collapsed any residual resistance that existed within the national security state that we didn't need to do this.
Biden White House is discussing preemptive pardons for those in Trump's crosshairs.
In it you write this, quote, President Joe Biden's senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House.
Those who could face exposure include such members of Congress' January 6th committee as Senator-elect Adam Schiff and former GOP Representative Liz Cheney.
Also mentioned by Biden's aides for a pardon, Anthony Fauci.
All right, Jack Posobiec here.
We are live West Palm Beach.
The Human Events Daily Editions of Mar-a-Lago continue.
Today is December 5th, 2024. Anno Domini.
As the show was going live yesterday, there was a viral story breaking regarding the assassination, the apparent assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, at the Midtown Hilton, just outside it, in New York City.
That's a hotel I've stayed at.
Many times.
It's also the hotel where President Trump gave his victory speech in 2016, his famous victory speech of complicated business, sorry to keep you waiting.
I remember standing there right on that very sidewalk when President Trump walked by on his way to give that victory speech.
Now what's interesting about this case and we don't know exactly yet what the situation is.
I said right away this is not a professional shooter.
He's leaving cell case shell casings on the street.
He's doing it in full view.
He's got a suppressor for no reason.
He's got he's on camera.
He's got witnesses all of these things.
So this was clearly being done to send some kind of message and which which appeared to me potentially to be either A personal or political or perhaps a mixture of the two type of situation.
We later find this morning that in fact those shell casings were left on purpose and there was writing on the casings that said deny, defend, depose.
Words that echo the title of a 2010 book called Delay, Deny, Defend, Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Well, boys and girls, if you go over to X right now or particularly to Blue Sky,
you can find all sorts of posts and tweets celebrating what this individual, this heinous individual, did to commit a cold-blooded murder of a businessman who's married and has two children on the street.
They're saying, we need to kill more CEOs.
They're saying we need to go after Elon Musk next again and again.
This is actual retributive violence that they have against their perceived enemies.
And this is very similar, very similar, this reaction to everything that we predicted in Unhumans, the secret history of communist revolutions and how to crush them that came out earlier this year that said the far left is going to start rising up and killing people in The street and celebrating it.
And so we explained that these grievance, revenge fantasies are something that the far left absolutely engages in.
It is in so much of their media.
And you see this individual.
Now, we don't know whether there was a direct political motive, but the fact that there was a political message left on the casings definitely is a clue in that direction.
And yet we see him with a designer backpack, designer hoodie, Designers, sneakers, all while committing this heinous act.
And the far left is celebrating it.
And let me tell you something, folks.
This is what they do.
And this is what we told you that they would do.
Unhumans, the secret history of communist revolutions.
He's right back with the great Mike Benz. - Today, you know, they talk about influencers.

The executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, Mike Benz, joins us now.
You know, Mike, I'm sorry.
We're not going for three hours.
We're not in Austin.
I don't have the curtain.
But I got to say, congratulations to you, brother, on that fantastic Joe Rogan episode that dropped just earlier this week.
Hey, thanks a lot.
I hope everybody got something out of it.
Just trying to do my part like you and everybody else.
Thanks for saying that.
No, it's cool.
It's cool.
Now, I would say, though, you know, for longtime listeners of Human Events Daily or people who follow the work of Mike Benz, at Mike Benz Cyber on X, this was the basic, I would almost call this the 101 level, right?
So you were breaking that down for the wider Joe Rogan audience to say, Look, these are people who...
I got a message the other day.
We were doing a show and we even got an email in and they said, what is the Atlantic Council?
And I was like, man, there are people that still, even at this point, you've got to go back to basics.
And I thought that that was great the way that you did that on the show.
You just walked Rogan and by way of proxy, his entire large audience there through all of the basics that people have to understand to know how to understand the news when they watch the news.
So when you look at Russia, Ukraine, when you look at the Middle East, that you can have this basic understanding of who the players are so that then you can understand what the chess moves that are being made are because you've understood the backstory.
And I just thought you did a really great job on that.
Yeah, every once in a while, I have to sit back and remind myself as well that, hey, there are folks who still don't even, what's Burisma?
What's the Atlantic Council?
And you think that it's been almost a decade that so many of us have been doing this, but at the same time, you've got people who may have been switched on a day ago or a week ago, and they're just starting, so you've got to reach out to them, too.
Well, thanks for saying that.
Unfortunately, you make my job easier in trying to explain things like the Atlantic Council because, as you are intensely aware, you yourself were targeted by the Atlantic Council.
Defending democracy against disinformation.
Just a little bit.
Your name on the front cover of the target list of NATO's think tank with seven CIA directors on its board in annual funding every year from the Pentagon and the State Department.
I think it was the March 2018 edition.
It has You know, this spider's web of networks on the front and the name Jack Posobiec, dead in the middle, you know, being targeted.
And to me, you know, I remember I brought that up on Tucker Carlson a few months ago, and it's like kind of the best way to explain the evil is like they would go after a U.S. A U.S. citizen on the front cover of their censorship white paper.
So it's just incredible.
But you survived and thrived, and that alone sends a message to everybody else that they can speak up to.
Well, and I think, too, that the way that we were able to do so is through, and look, people don't remember what it was like on Twitter during The censorship regime.
Darren Beattie, he had a great tweet up.
I think he was doing an interview once with Norbin Laden.
He said something.
He said, I was able to be successful on Twitter when it was hard.
When you were under the censorship regime.
When you had Vijaya in charge over there.
And she would ban you for anything.
And you used to have to kind of play this game of what you were going to say.
And you'd have to kind of shade things behind the lines.
Post a picture and that version of Twitter is like completely gone.
And I remember it was kind of like, it's the way censorship works and you know, you obviously have broken this down for people so well, but the way that censorship really works, the point of the apparatus really is, and it's cliche to say 1984, but it's the goal that you will love Big Brother because the censor ultimately comes into your own mind and it sits there and it's you saying, Oh I can't say that because if I say that I'll get in trouble.
So you don't say it and then eventually you don't even think it and at some point the next generation who's never heard any of these ideas or being exposed to any of these things doesn't ever have those thoughts to begin with and you've won.
It's about the censorship.
The final stage of censorship is internalization of the censorship and this is something that we've studied When I lived in communist China, when I've done studies on communist Russia, wrote the whole book about it.
That's how censorship reaches its final form.
It's inside your mind.
100%.
We're actually seeing something unbelievable right now in Germany.
Someone was just arrested for suggesting that a sitting politician hates free speech there.
So in that case, it's A very public message being sent to the German people that they cannot challenge their politicians and that they have to self-censor about the government's censorship.
So, you know, there's levels to all this.
It's tiramisu.
It very much is tiramisu.
And, you know, you've got to pass through purgatory and And heaven and then hell itself to get to the final apogee of the apotheosis of all of this.
And it's amazing being here.
And I've been down at Mar-a-Lago and through the transition offices and having some of those meetings in C put together.
What's amazing, and people don't realize this, but all the nominees over there, Elon's team, Vivek's team, even Bobby Kennedy, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, they're sitting there and the nominees themselves are conducting the meetings.
And Elon and Vivek, when it comes to this type of stuff, I mean, they will sit there, cross their arms, and if they don't like what you're hearing, you are out.
You are out so fast.
I mean, you've got to make a pitch because you've got these people Coming through with their resumes, and they say, oh, look at my resume.
Look how experienced I am.
And then, of course, the first question is always, and it's not just them.
there's a lot of the Silicon Valley entities and equities that have come over that have experienced this.
Mark Andreessen, I was talking about it on another Joe Rogan episode, where they'll say, well, if you're part of the system, why haven't you done anything to try to fix this system?
And why should I trust you?
Because you've been part of it for so long.
I mean, that's really the issue here, isn't it?
Yeah.
And I saw an incredible statistic about the average age of Trump 2.0 nominees.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, That was shocking.
I mean, it was like a full 20 years younger on average.
I think, you know, the average age was something around 60 for the nominees in 1.0, in 40, in 2.0.
And, I mean, I think J.D. Vance is, what, 39?
And Vivek is...
He just turned 40. 39?
He just turned 40?
And I think Vivek is now 39. I mean, there is very much a, you know, youth-oriented, reform-oriented energy here.
And what you just said about the energy at Mar-a-Lago with, you know, you get in and get it done or get out.
And that's the nature of so many of these picks.
I mean, Putting in Kash Patel at FBI, who's basically said he wants to smash the business as usual of the FBI. Putting Bobby Kennedy at HHS when he says he wants to smash the, you know, in large part, much of what HHS has been doing for so long.
Jay Bhattacharya at NIH, who...
I mean, these are...
Trump is systematically putting people in charge of agencies who have Effectively sworn to oppose what those agencies have stood for in many respects, which is totally appropriate because those agencies have gone rogue and they need reform.
No, that's exactly right.
I like that.
I'm excited about it.
We're coming.
I'm so excited, too.
We're coming up on our first break.
So I'll tease this for the next segment.
We've got a, you know, so Doge is coming together.
Doge is, and by the way, we'll explain how Doge works.
So there's going to be the umbrella Doge office, but then there's going to be Doge nodes at every department.
And so when we come back, I'm going to ask Mike Benz, what does he want to see cut first in the federal government with Doge?
We'll be right back.
Jack Posobiec, Mike Benz here.

You're going to love this thing.
So, we know that today Elon Musk, Little X, and Vivek Ramaswamy are now on the Hill.
They're getting to work on DOGE. I believe that the DOGE caucus, you know, however that works, it's got some senators, it's got some congressmen, they're all going to be working together on the Hill, supposedly.
With the Vic and Elon, we're going to see how that shakes out today.
But Benz, let me ask you, man.
So as a guy who has intimately become aware with the machinations of our government, as you like to call it, the blob, how do you go about fighting the blob?
What do you think would be, I'll put it this way, what do you think would be the most effective thing to focus in on first, if there is any one keynote?
Well, you know, the nature of the blob is that it is so decentralized, but if there is one keynote immediately, just because of the sheer size of the funding that runs through it in terms of the funding of internet censorship capacities,
you know, a lot of people raise their eyebrows when I say this, because they're expecting me to say the CIA or the FBI, but the fact is, The National Science Foundation is actually the number one funder, especially on the domestic side of Internet censorship.
And the National Science Foundation, I encourage you when I say this and I walk you through these programs I'm about to lay out here, that you don't think of the National Science Foundation as being the name that comes to mind when you hear the phrase science.
The National Science Foundation is the civilian arm of DARPA. It is a defense-oriented civilian foundation.
It's got a 15% mandatory quota in its charter for national security.
This is essentially where dual-use military technology gets transferred over to the civilian commercial realm.
So for example, the internet itself was a DARPA creation and then it was transferred over to the National Science Foundation for the rollout to civilians for the World Wide Web.
Many such cases with this.
And So the National Science Foundation is essentially a cover, in the same way that USAID is often for intelligence work, for the kind of civilian projects that the military wants to do but can't get caught doing.
Because it would look sick and twisted if the Pentagon was directly giving so much money to social media censorship projects targeting U.S. citizens.
So instead they walked down the street of the National Science Foundation to do it.
There's two programs that total about 100 million dollars in pure funding for domestic social media censorship that can be cut right away and do an unbelievable amount of damage to the censorship beast.
One of them is called the Secure Trust in Cyberspace Program, which is a program to academic universities to do disinformation studies research.
And this is tens of millions of dollars that go to a sprawling web of U.S. colleges and universities so that they can do full-time censorship work, mapping what you and I tweet about, pressuring social media companies to take our posts down, creating nudges in the algorithms in order to tune down the keywords or political ideas that we're expressing.
Sort of a, you know, to play mad scientist and to fine-tune the science of censorship.
And that's every major university in the country right now is a grant through that National Science Foundation program.
Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Brown, George Washington University, University of Washington, University of Texas, Austin, you name it.
I mean, there's There's over 60 of these.
And then there's also another National Science Foundation program called the Convergence Accelerator Track F program, which is a censorship program at the National Science Foundation, which doesn't just fund the research, like the Secure Trust in Cyberspace program, but it actually funds AI technology tools that will do the censorship scanning and banning More efficiently, essentially funding the science of AI censorship.
I actually played a few clips from that program on the Joe Rogan show this week.
That company, that Wise Dex clip about halfway through the internet, halfway through the interview was funded by the National Science Foundation's Track F program.
Another several tens of millions of dollars in funding.
So you knock out about $100 million of censorship, military capital essentially, in the same way that the US government sanctions foreign countries to economically cripple them to stop their warfighting capacities in the context of a hot war.
That's the mentality Doge has to have about things like internet freedom.
Every dollar that flows from the U.S. government to someone who's pledged to use that money to censor U.S. citizens, despite having ostensibly First Amendment protection, that should have been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, who completely goofed the Murphy-Missouri decision.
So if we're not going to get that done by the Supreme Court, It should be done by the Supreme Doge.
And I love this.
I think this is something, too, as well, where, you know, you're right.
It's not even, you know, something that anyone has on their radar, this National Science Foundation that's It's one of these independent agencies that just sits out there.
This is basically the non-medical arm of what the NIH does.
It's the NIH for the other varieties of science.
What you're talking about, though, is essentially the link.
This is the lifeblood of not just finance, but power.
Not just financing, but actual power between the federal government And academia.
And this is why you get these linkages between this public-private sphere that seems to exist.
And they'll say, oh, no, no, no, the Stanford Internet Observatory or, you know, the former Shorenstein Center over at Harvard, you know, we're not public entities, so we can provide censorship.
In a way that the government cannot.
And yet, of course, they're receiving this level of federal funding and people know that they are federally backed.
This would essentially sever that link.
I mean, you're cutting the umbilical cord between federal government and federal power and these private entities if you were able to come at this.
Oh, and we would never accept this if a foreign country did it.
I mean, how quick are we to save something, you know, or If some organization ordered pizza from a local joint and the driver was Russian, how quickly we would say, oh, well, it's a Russian conduit.
And yet we have direct government funding of an outside asset to do the thing the government is either legally barred or there would be too much PR blowback if they did it themselves.
That is in the grant application and then they step back and say oh well it's not the government you know I mean so but I actually emphasized this on the on that you know Rogan episode this week when I played the State Department and USAID and NAD joint seps program primer guide and they have a whole countering disinformation uh you know Guidebook on
this, but I played that sort of Orwellian clip of the worldwide censorship program being run out of state, USAID, and the National Down for Democracy, and it went over nine points in that video.
And one of the points was that governments need to fund outside groups to do the censorship work.
To create this whole of society surround sound on censorship pressure.
And because the governments have the money but not the credibility, the NGOs have the credibility but not the money.
And so you take the money from the government and the credibility from the NGOs You mash them together because they don't want it to be perceived that we're just like China.
We're just like Russia.
It's the government commanding censorship.
So they don't have the credibility to do that, but they've got the money.
And all of these non-governmental organizations, they are independent organizations.
They're independent institutions.
They're democratic institutions.
They've got so much of that lovely, bubbly credibility.
But they don't have the money.
So that's how you get these $100 million grant programs.
And essentially what it is, is a free flow of capital and a free flow of financing to the enemies of the Republic.
And that absolutely needs to stop in a variety of vectors.
It's not just one umbilical cord.
But that is a fantastic one to chip away at and to snip, shall we say.
We're going to snip the umbilical cord between government and academia.

They got to meet, they shook hands, and we were there for support of Russ Vogt, who's going to be coming in as the OMB Director.
This was his organization, the Center for Renewing America.
Mark Meadows was there.
RFK, Bobby Kennedy came by later for dinner, as well as another of individuals.
There was a huge, you know, kind of crypto dinner going on in one of the other rooms.
But President Trump gave a very frank speech talking about Ukraine, talking about the election, talking about Israel-Gaza, really just touching on a number of issues.
And saying that he wants to get in and really start taking the entire federal government to task.
And I'll just say this, that I have not seen him slow down.
I have not seen him work any less.
I have not seen him in more tenacious and fighting spirit than I've seen him in the last couple of weeks.
So he won the election and he just kept moving folks.
And it was certainly great to be there with him.
Everyone's seen the photos going pretty viral right now.
And so, Ben, when I think about the things that need to be fixed when it comes to the federal government, I also think about the intelligence community.
And the intelligence community, obviously Kash Patel, is front and center.
But there's also Tulsi Gabbard who's going over there as the DNI. And of course she's fighting an uphill battle, maybe not as far uphill as some, but she's fighting a battle as well to get over.
There's this new hit piece out on her.
And I don't know, Ben, what do you think?
Is this really going to stop her chances?
Because apparently one of her former staffers said that she might be a Russian agent.
Why?
Well, because he saw her once watching RT And she was watching a clip from RT, so that pretty much just seals the deal, doesn't it?
This is so maddening, right?
Because what we have done, the U.S. diplomatic corps and its war on RT, is so insane and myopic that they do not see the Decades of blowback that this is going to cause.
The fact is, we have not declared war on Russia.
Yes, there is a proxy war with Russia, but the fact is, is every country has its own version of RT. We have our own American RT. It's called NPR, National Public Radio, which is funded by us, the taxpayers.
We have Dozens of them, actually.
Everything funded by the U.S. Agency for Global Media.
That is a formal U.S. government agency that funds media.
USAID has hundreds of millions of dollars in media development programming to sponsor media organizations to promote pro-U.S. content.
The State Department funds tens of millions of dollars of U.S. media development assets.
The National Doubt for Democracy, subfunds, another tens of millions of dollars.
This is part and parcel of all diplomatic engagement.
For example, the United Kingdom, people are forced effectively by law to pay for their state broadcaster, BBC. This war on RT by saying because they are a Russian TV station that therefore every single thing is Russian intelligence and anyone who's ever accidentally watched an RT segment while flipping through channels or surfing the internet has to be interrogated
for potential covert links to the Russian state.
So you basically walk into a FISA trap if your digital footprint shows you've ever RT'd, you've ever retweeted RT'd RT'd RT'd.
This is happening to people.
Scott Ritter And another journalist had their homes raided this year by the FBI, had their electronics taken out of their home, had their cell phones seized because they once had shows on RT and because they have overt links effectively then to Russia because it's a Russian TV station.
They need to be investigated by the intelligence arm of our Justice Department for potential covert links.
Just to make sure there wasn't anything else they were talking about.
You know, you're supposed to declare war by an act of Congress.
We haven't done that.
And in fact, just a decade ago, President Obama told the GOP nominee that the 1980s called.
They want their foreign policy back because it was so insane to orient all of our diplomatic corps and all of our national security resources against a regional power in Russia.
But then, lo and behold, the George Soros network financial interests got hit in Ukraine two years later in 2014. And then suddenly, there goes our whole philosophy about media being a free market competition between different nation states when it comes to this sort of thing.
But the fact is, they are using RT as part of a nasty get-out-of-constitution free card called counterintelligence.
Which is this idea that our intelligence agencies are not supposed to spy on U.S. citizens.
But if they slip that word counter in front of it and they call it counterintelligence, oh, we're not spying on you to spy on you.
We're spying on you to see if another spy agency from another country is spying on you.
And so we need to read all of your text messages, not because we are spying on them to see, you know, just To spy on you.
But in the process of reading every single text message, every single email, all the bulk collection of the NSA, for example, how they were reading Tucker Carlson's signal chats, we need to read them just to make sure that you're not talking with the Russians.
Well, along the way, you therefore get access to everything a spy gets access to if they were just spying on you to spy on you.
And these intelligence agencies leak that to the press!
And by the way, when that doesn't work, it's so easy for them to just go over to one of the Five Eyes partners and say, hey, Brits, hey, UK, hey, can you do me a favor here?
I think this guy is, you know, I think this guy might be a foreign agent.
Can you pull that stuff?
Because I'm not allowed to touch it.
But you pull it and then you pass it to me through a Five Eyes transfer.
Now, Five Eyes is this intelligence sharing agreement.
Well, guess what?
Now I get to read your text messages and say, oh, no, no, no, I didn't spy on you.
This was shared by a near-peer partner.
That's such an important point.
There's also, along with that, this leakage point I think really has to be emphasized as well, which is that they're reading all of your ordinary course communications if you are If you've ever had any touch points whatsoever with RT, which was totally fine for decades until this 2014 fiasco with Ukraine.
But the fact is, they then also leak to the press here in the US and to civil society organizations who frequently Function as CIA cutouts, I should note, like the Carnegie Endowment, which is run by Bill Burns, the current CIA director, for seven years before, you know, I mean, think about that.
Bill Burns never worked for the CIA and he was made the head of the CIA. What was he doing for the seven years before he was CIA director?
He was running an NGO, but the NGO was all former CIA people working with, you know, working with- You gotta love it.
You gotta love it.
I don't even know if we've got...
Well, hold on, hold on.
I do want to think about the Hunter Biden story, but I want to in the very next segment.
Right back.
Stay here, folks.
What really happened with the Hunter Biden pardon?
Jack Prosopek, Blank Benz, Human Events Daily continues. - Jack is a great guy.
He's written a fantastic book.
Everybody's talking about it.
Go get it.
And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
And we're going to turn it around and make our country great.
Amen.
All right, Jack Posobiec, back live here, Human Events Daily, final segment, Mike Benz.
So, Benz, we were talking about the Hunter Biden laptop, the Hunter Biden pardon that came out, this wild blanket pardon.
We talked earlier this week about how, here on the show, about how that goes all the way back to Ukraine in the early days.
Let's fast forward a little bit to the FBI because the FBI has largely been written out of the story of the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop.
We keep hearing people say, oh, it was just tech companies.
Oh, it was just tech companies.
Is that true, Benz?
Was it just tech companies all on their own?
No.
There was this incredible Aspen Institute tabletop exercise.
Aspen Institute, which gets funding from the U.S. government and And does a lot of thought policy leadership for the intelligence community, the State Department, even defense equities.
The FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop, had a physical copy of it since 2019, and once they discovered that its contents were going to be published online, the FBI made a sort of Mysterious cameo at a fantastic foresight,
Nostradamus, amazing prediction by the Aspen Institute several days before the actual publication of the Hunter Biden laptop story, where they ran a tabletop simulation on how to stop the viral spread of information online about a hypothetical upcoming future leak of a damaging story about Joe Biden's son and a private gas company in Ukraine.
So only the FBI knew that that story was going to be published.
And yet this web of outside NGOs and journalists, there were people, I believe, from the Washington Post and the New York Times who were at this, Yul Roth from Twitter 1.0, the censorship squad there, was a part of this tabletop simulation for how best to censor the upcoming story.
Only the FBI knew that story was coming.
So unless they are tapped into some frequency that only the Lord Almighty should technically have access to other than the FBI, it seems pretty obvious the FBI told the people at the Aspen Institute This was coming,
which means the FBI was spying on the journalists who were to be publishing that story and then taking the ill-gotten proceeds of their spy craft and telling US journalists about it so that US journalists and tech platforms and NGOs could swarm the story to pressure the censorship to be totalizing.
Well, and we know that that's exactly what happened because Yoel Roth in the FEC investigation into when the RNC sued them, saying that it constituted an illegal in-kind contribution to the Biden campaign in 2020, he testified that it was during meetings with the San Francisco field office of the FBI that he learned that damaging information was about to be leaked on the president's Son and that this would be an illegal
foreign release of material so Twitter went back and even Yoel Roth for as as censorious as he was when it came down to brass tacks and he was put under oath in a in testimony in that lawsuit with the FEC He said look wait a minute You can't say that this was an illegal in-kind contribution because we conducted the activity at the behest of federal agents There it is, folks.
There it is in black and white.
It's amazing.
I mean, gosh, you know, Cash, we have to send Cash our spirit energy.
Yes, yes.
And he has to be surrounded by a chief of staff who is rock solid, by a deputy director of the FBI who is rock solid.
Cash, there's going to be knives out for him, and he is going to need a squad, a coalition, A network within the FBI who is ideologically on board, who is on board in terms of the energy to fight,
because the FBI is where all the energy from these outside networks get the actual points on their spear to actually To do that damage, to seize people's cell phones, to put them under investigation, to terrorize them and raid their homes, to create BS concoctions.
Never forget, it was Peter Strzok of the FBI who said, no, no, no, we'll stop Donald Trump from being inaugurated.
We'll create an insurance policy to make sure it doesn't happen.
And of course, what was Peter Strzok's role?
Well, he was the head of counterintelligence, which is this exact same predicate that they're using on Tulsi Gabbard, that they're using on Kash Patel.
I think Benny Johnson and Steve Friend just reported yesterday that the FBI is opening up counterintelligence investigations into Kash.
Which is what we just covered earlier in this conversation.
That's always how they do it.
That's how they went after Martin Luther King, by the way.
A lot of the COINTELPRO stuff, back when the left was presenting an anti-war voice, and whatever your thoughts are on MLK, the fact is the record of the FBI effectively terrorizing him through the The threat letters, all the COINTELPRO taxis, how did they get that break in the first place?
We've seen that this has been their MO for a long, long time.
And they use the ability of their counterintelligence program That's why, by the way, over and over, boys and girls, the FBI keeps saying it's, oh, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
We know it's ridiculous, but it gives them the ability to open up these investigations into you, into your cell phones.
You get a warrant.
You just lied to the FISA court, and then you go, I'll walk right past that.
Mike Benz, incredible week, man.
Thank you spending so much time with us.
I know you've been running around.
You've been Austin and back and Joe Rogan, but congratulations to you, brother.
It's been an incredible week, incredible rise to see.
You deserve every single moment of it.
Hey, man.
Thanks.
You too.
Keep being the tip of the spear, and we'll talk soon.
All right.
Go follow him, folks.
