Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Republican Mark Lynch on Why Lindsey Graham MUST GO!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to the show.
Thanks so much for being with us.
My name is Paul Harrell and this is the Millstone Report.
As always, we can't do the program without you watching every single day.
We really do appreciate it.
We've got a great show for you.
We really do.
We're going to kind of dive into some electoral politics out of the great state of South Carolina.
Before we do that, I want to remind you this portion of the program brought to you by Red Vive.
That's redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
And coming up here in a little bit, we'll tell you about the great red light panels that you can get from redvivehealth.org slash Paul.
I'm going to start by just talking, when you think of South Carolina electoral politics, obviously a lot of people think about Lindsey Graham or Lady G. Whatever you want to call them.
Here is, just real quick, I think it's just a good place to start.
Here is Lindsey Graham talking about Joe Biden and how we should admire him.
I admire Joe Biden as a person that's probably, you've got a problem.
You need to do some self-evaluation.
Because what's not to like?
I don't know what's not to like.
I mean, the Ashley Biden diary comes to mind.
Also, essentially, his son Hunter Biden.
Essentially, you know, getting all kinds of foreign money deals and everything else and being extremely corrupt.
Also, we had this.
We've got this.
Remember when he talked about shooting J6ers in the head?
In a separate meeting with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, Fanone described the assault officers faced.
And Fanone writes, Graham responded, you guys should have shot them all in the head.
We have much work yet to do.
Yeah, shoot them all in the head.
So these tweets that I'm showing you are actually from a businessman by the name of Mark Lynch from South Carolina who is primarying Lindsey Graham and is actually doing a great service to the state of South Carolina, a great service to our country, and I would even argue the world.
If you're one of these people that actually want peace and you don't want, you know, continued war and, you know, neocon influence.
Mark Lynch, this is an incredible bio on his website, lynchforsenate.com.
And I want to read it because I really appreciate him introducing himself by talking about his Christian faith, because we need that now more than ever out of our politicians.
It says here that during the 1970s, Mark Lynch, president of Jeff Lynch Appliance Center, fondly recalls his father, Jeff, who would sell appliances during the day, rush home for a quick dinner, and then head back out to deliver the products sold that day.
Today, Mark's journey is significantly different, guided by his faith and the wisdom imparted by his Father.
He has transformed the company, propelling it far beyond its humble beginnings.
In his mid-twenties, Mark faced a pivotal moment in his life, a time he describes as the end of Mark.
Having associated with the wrong crowd during his teenage and early adult years, he sought answers within himself, but ultimately realized he needed to look to Jesus for guidance.
In the mid-1980s, Mark made a profound decision to stop relying on his own strength.
He surrendered his will and embraced Jesus as the Lord of his life.
This transformative experience liberated him from the chains of addiction that had held him captive for 40 years or 40 years ago, rather.
Held him captive 40 years ago.
Since that time, Mark has dedicated himself to helping others find freedom from addiction and discover their identities in Christ.
He has established multiple Christian recovery programs in the upstate region of South Carolina, where he resides.
In 1983, just before his life transformation, Mark invested in the family business under his leadership.
And with divine guidance, the company has grown to be 35 times larger than it was at the time of the acquisition.
Mark recognized, this is my favorite part of it, because I have been around a lot of very successful businessmen, and saying this is, to me, I think a rarity among a lot of successful businessmen.
Mark recognized that God, as the author and owner of all things, is also the true owner of his business.
This realization has driven him to honor God through his stewardship of the resources entrusted to him.
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we have with us now on the Millstone Report, candidate for U.S. Senate, South Carolina Republican businessman, Mark Lynch.
Mr. Lynch, thank you so much for your time this afternoon.
Absolutely. Thank you, Paul.
It's an honor to be on your show.
I really appreciate it, and I'm really excited.
Can I just ask you the first question?
What made you want to do this?
What made you want a primary Senator Lindsey Graham, who, you know, he's a very politically connected guy.
There's no getting around that.
What made you want to do this?
It all began in 2019, well, 2014, training, working with national security consultants, hearing what these guys are fighting against.
And then later we were having educational seminars at churches and, you know, bringing five, six, seven hundred people in, educating them about the terrorist threat that's infiltrated every area of our government, our homeland security everywhere.
And this started producing training seminars for people.
We started training the local sheriffs and deputies and FBI and SWAT teams in our counties around us.
And because of that, people heard my knowledge about that topic and said, man, you should run for an office.
And I told them, you probably need to go take a drug test.
I don't have any inkling or motivation to get into politics anyway, but local people prayed with me, talked to me, and I ran for a state senate position back in 2020.
I lost my election.
It was stolen by like 5%.
And since then, you know, everywhere we go to a Trump event or any political event locally, I feel God pushing and say, you need to get back in.
You need to run.
That was just one time you ran.
And my family and all the people we've worked with since then and doing political work through an organization we started called the United Patriots Alliance back then after my campaign.
I've been asked over and over, you need to run for office again.
So my wife started nudging again about a year ago and talking with awesome national consultants at the highest level.
They agreed that my my role would be a United States senator because I'm a fighter and I need to get in and make a difference.
I can't with the knowledge I have about everything and all the awesome people around me that God has put in my circle.
I cannot not run.
I've got to get in because I can make a difference.
Wow. Well, you know, I mean, at this point, I think it's, I mean, look, the whole nation knows that.
I think they remember, you know, your opponent, Senator Lindsey Graham, when he ran for re-election last time.
He was on Sean Hannity.
It seems like he was on Hannity's show every night, you know, begging for support, begging for money.
And yet, he continues to really just be a Republican in name only on so many issues.
We just played for you at the top of the show what he thought about J6ers.
We also talked to him about how Joe Biden is this fantastic guy, but there's much, much more.
He's never really heard of a war that he doesn't...
He doesn't want us to get involved in and, you know, send more young Americans to die.
Certainly, you know, was really aligned with neocon John McCain when he was alive.
And so, I mean, the whole nation, I mean, I'm not a South Carolinian.
I live in Arkansas.
But I know the whole nation kind of sits around and scratches their head.
Why do South Carolinians keep sending this guy back to D.C.?
He doesn't seem like he actually represents what most people think is a solidly red, deep, conservative state.
That's right.
And we're bringing that up.
One of the biggest reasons these guys get in, and I don't want to use the word rhino anymore.
I think the word is traitor.
In South Carolina, we have open primaries.
So the very enemies of God and the enemies of this country and the Democrat Party can come in on our primary elections, Republican primary elections, and they come in and vote for Lindsey Graham.
And so we put out an article a while back.
Another news organization talked to us, and we just exposed this article that came out on Breitbart, and it's on our website, I believe.
Anyway, this is a copy, and it's not new.
This has been out a while.
This is an article where the Obama administration, his head pollster, Harstad, is talking to John Podesta in private email conversations.
In the email, it's a couple...
Pages long about the article that they needed to keep this quiet and not let it get out.
But, hey, you know, God exposed this stuff and it got out.
And the Obama administration is talking through Obama and Harstad to Podesta.
And he was the Pizzagate guy, you'll remember, with the child trafficking.
And he said, we know that...
Lindsey Graham will be our greatest ally to the Democrat Party.
So there you have it.
I mean, these are the people that are proving it, and it's in private emails that we exposed.
You know, when we look at report cards, like our kids, they go to school.
Hey, how you doing in your schoolwork?
Oh, I'm making all A's.
Well, that's funny.
We have your report card that came in the mail today.
And so give me the cell phone and give me the car keys.
You're grounded because you're not studying like you told.
Told us.
You're lying to us.
So when we bring up the Freedom Index, that's a scorecard that talks about how did our legislators at the state or national level vote.
According to the Constitution, Lindsey Graham's Freedom Index score for his lifetime record is 57. Anything below a 70 is an F. The Club for Growth report card, lifetime score 65. The Heritage Action.
Scorecard for his lifetime in service, 56. His Liberty score with conservative review is 43. I don't know of any more scorecards.
Every one of them we know of that are legitimate records of how our employees that we elected are voting.
He's failing.
So, Lindsey's not one of us.
And South Carolinians are ready for a real, true, conservative, God-fearing, patriot leader like me that has integrity, honor, and courage.
And I'm going to add this, because my friends know this about me in business and family and at church, where I'm an ordained deacon.
You know, Mark Lynch has a backbone.
And I'm kind of like Trump.
I don't get bought off.
I don't waver on my beliefs because I'm worried about a voter voting for me.
Some people won't like me.
They won't vote for me.
But I'm not going to change my stance on my belief system for a vote.
I'm going to do what's right because of my endorsements with God.
That's who I want to be endorsed by, and we're all going to answer to that one day.
Amen. No, I completely agree with that.
You know, I'm glad that you compared yourself to Trump because, I mean, one of the reasons a lot of people, conventional wisdom is, you know, that Trump has been able to resist more so than other presidents.
You know, the status quo is because he does have a lot of money and as well often doesn't need the job.
I would put you in that category as well.
You're a successful businessman.
You've done well.
And so the idea of going up there and increasing your net worth through insider trading, I would imagine, isn't something that you're interested in because you don't need the money like a lot of these other people do that get in there.
You have a job to go back home to.
And so that's very important, really, for all, I think, a lot of legislators, whether you're at the state level or you're at the national level.
But you mentioned no longer using the word rhino, using the word trader.
I think that's a good trend.
We need to make that happen.
We've got this tweet up right now from you talking about this controversy with Senator Chris Van Hollen going to El Salvador trying to get this MS-13 gang member out.
You write, the difference between myself and Lindsey Graham is I'll call Chris Van Hollen what he is, a traitor.
Lindsey won't call Van Hollen.
What do you make about this?
What do you make about...
What's going on right now with the Dems just doubling down on MS-13 gang members and trying to get them released from El Salvadorian prisons?
Yeah, well, what does that say about who they are?
Workers around here that have been with me for years in our business or people in the political arena with us, sometimes people question, why did that guy do that?
Why would Lindsey Graham do that?
I'm like, stop.
Stop. Let's go back, time out.
Let's remember, who is he?
When people tell us, they're basically telling us they're the enemies, they're not holding up to the Republican creed and their oath.
They're not fighting against domestic and foreign enemies.
And if they're not doing that, and if they're okay with receiving all this money...
Like he's under investigation with Kash Patel for $82 million from the Ukraine.
Lindsey got his hands on.
And he's over the Judiciary Committee.
And we're not serving justice, you know, well, enemies of America and people that have betrayed the Republican Party and the voter and Trump and America.
They don't arrest themselves.
They want to let out their people.
Right? They want to get their people out of prison.
They want to shoot good Americans, and a lot of them around here, that one of our friends, Derek Gunby, had been wearing the ankle monitor awaiting his 20-year prison sentence, and Trump, thank God, pardoned them.
And, you know, we know Lindsey was against all that.
He wasn't for confirming Tulsi or RFK or the pardoning of the J6ers.
He talked about them, you know, shoot them in the head.
When that was going on.
These are Americans, a lot of awesome veterans that were willing to sacrifice their life on January the 6th.
They believed, like I do, that the election was stolen.
And they went to voice their opinion in the First Amendment through their freedom of speech and their right to protest.
And what did Joe Biden say when he was in office after Mike Pence also betrayed us because he had the authority?
And his oath that he didn't honor on January 20th.
What did they all say?
Biden told the whole world, all the MAGA supporters are now terrorists.
So because we had a different regime, a lot of our younger kids and families out here, we've lived through a coup and there was never a shot fired.
They took our country down by our own hands and we all paid it.
We paid for it.
We funded.
The takeover of this country.
I hope we get it back.
Trump's a good opening to get that done.
People like me are running for office now.
We're flipping our precincts and taking them over and we're getting real true Republicans back in office again that will do what we all want to do and will honor our Republican creed.
It's time to make Republicans Republicans again.
How about that?
How about that?
Yeah, I mean, what do you think about...
Can you talk a little bit about the tyranny that you mentioned?
I guess what I would say is it seems like Lindsey Graham was trying to...
Basically just wait out the first term of Donald Trump's presidency.
He tried to make nice here or there, but then again, like you said, as soon as J6 happened, he went right back.
As soon as he got re-elected, it seems like he's now trying to wait out Donald Trump's second term again, going to try to figure out a way to survive once again.
But if we actually look at what this country has been through...
If you look at what happened in 2016 framing Donald Trump for treason, I call him the intel oligarchy, and you look at what happened in 2020, the stolen election, I agree with you there.
You look like what we went through in 2020 with COVID, and then the shots, and then they forced independent thinkers out of our military who didn't want to take the shot.
We now have more and more reports about what was actually in the shot.
You know, the adverse effects, the deaths, all of this.
Is there ever going to be any accountability?
Let me ask you that.
Like, we, you know, the American people, I'm sure people in South Carolina, they want accountability.
Elon Musk says he's got a paper trail now that leads right to Washington, D.C. Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee saying this better lead to people in D.C. being escorted out of these buildings in handcuffs.
I mean, at this point, it's time for accountability.
Do you agree?
100%. I'm enforcing the rule of law.
And that's what our government is supposed to do, is protect us.
That's their number one job, is to protect us.
To honor the Constitution and protect the unalienable rights that God gave us.
Those are unalienable.
You can't take them from us.
But we've got people now that are not us.
That have gotten into office, that have gotten into authority at the local levels of mayor, city administrators, sheriffs, House representatives, state senators, Congress, U.S. senators, whatever.
And we've had presidents a few times in between.
And they're doing everything against what America First values would be.
They're the enemies of our country.
And we've got to name these enemies first and go along with who they say they are.
When we're authorizing the burning down of our cities in 2020, nobody would stop that.
And at the state level, those are sanctuary areas where our enemies have taken control of that.
So they're not going to stop destroying America because they're for it.
You know, when we're okay with open borders like Lindsey's been, and I hold in my hand a direct mail piece he sent out, and it says...
This was about seven weeks ago.
Graham leads the passage of the Lake and Raleigh Act to crack down on illegal immigration.
So I've called him out in press conferences and things.
I'll fly him.
I will pay, and I'll meet him at the airport because I want to go to the Raleigh House and show them this direct mail piece he just sent out about six weeks ago.
Because he's never been for closing the borders.
And one of his nicknames is Gramnesty, that he kind of took on himself and made up because he's forgiven amnesty to everybody that's already in here.
That's right.
Everybody that's in our country isn't for America.
They didn't come to have a chance to qualify to see if we could bet them to have the American dream opportunity you and I've had.
There are people that hate this country.
They're here to destroy it.
So we can't do stuff like that.
And that's why, like on the news this morning, there were two more ladies.
They showed daughters of our American families that were murdered by illegal aliens in this invasion we've allowed to happen.
So it is common sense.
How many times are we going to watch the same news report every night about will we ever close the border?
Will we ever close the border?
Thank God Trump's back.
God helped him get back in here.
We the people are tired of it.
Anytime I speak at a major audience about our campaign, they cheer when we talk about the rule of law and arresting these people.
So we got to go to that third final step.
We know who they are.
We have lists.
And Pam Bondi's got to do the same thing.
We have the Epstein Island list.
We've all known most of the people on that list for 10 years or whatever.
Arrest them.
There's got to be consequences.
100%, wherever it leads.
Republican, Democrat, donors, Republican donors, Democrat donors, Uniparty, I agree, wherever it leads.
You mentioned earlier in the interview about closed primaries.
Is there any chance South Carolina could close their primary before your race against Lindsey Graham?
Well, I'm asking all the people out there, it's time to call your state House representative and your senator, Governor Henry McMaster, Tim Scott, Lindsey Graham, our Attorney General, Alan Wilson, and demand they close our primaries.
This is unacceptable that we're going to allow cheating in our voting system, but these guys like Lindsey and whoever, that's the only way they get in.
One of my consultants said he'll never vote for that because he can't win if the primary was closed, if real Republicans only could vote for him.
Yeah. You know, it just makes absolutely no sense that, you know, Republicans do this, that they let non-Republicans weigh in, non-registered Republicans weigh in on who's going to represent their party.
You know, in my home state of Arkansas, we have open primaries as well, and I just think it totally hinders.
You know, the grassroots and those who really are committed to, you know, the Republican Party platform.
Do you have any hope, Mark Lynch, do you have any hope that there's going to be an actual debate?
Do you think Lindsey Graham will debate?
Or do you think he will just ignore and go on Sean Hannity every night and plead for support?
I hope he will.
I'm ready.
Anytime, anyplace.
Let's talk.
The public needs to hear that.
They need to see it.
This is an important race.
It'll probably be, you know, like Roger Stone and I were talking, this might be the biggest race next year is this primary for this United States Senate position.
You know, I want to tell everybody, too, because I know Trump wants to know that I'm in the game and I'm committed.
My wife and I put $5 million of our retirement money into this primary.
We're all in, 100%.
We're committed and we're going to win this thing because we, the people out here, it may not be the establishment, you know, traitor party of those.
And you know who you are because you love Lindsey.
And if you're a Republican, I'm going to ask you.
How can you answer to your maker and say you're a Republican when you know all these facts that Lindsey and all the horrible stuff he's done?
In one of his interviews when he was running for president, he told the news reporter, you know, and another thing, you know how you make America great again?
Tell Trump to go to hell.
Boy, that's a great character that he has and a great quality, right?
One time, one of the news interviews at CPAC, The man asked me when we started the news interview, he said, what's the biggest one thing you would say that's different between you and Lindsey Graham?
And I said, well, one thing is my wife over there, 37 years.
Lindsey knows nothing about that.
He's never, you know, I signed the front of my checks and in our business, Paul, we've been debt free personally and corporately since 1999 because we know how to run an adding machine.
We've got a guy that's over our budgetary committee for our country that knows how to direct $82 million to his bank account, it looks like.
We're all tired of it.
We're not getting what we're paying for.
When I have employees that don't do their job description, you know, we'll write them up, we'll have a conversation, try to bring them back over to the center again so they'll work correctly.
When I get in the United States Senate, I know that President Trump will agree it is awesome to have loyal employees that we don't have to threaten, maybe even endorse, to get them to do the right thing.
Lindsey's only doing the right thing during the campaign cycle.
And everybody's been asking us, we have never seen Lindsey move to the right again this early in a campaign cycle.
Well, he's worried.
I mean, look, you're right.
Putting $5 million of your own money into your campaign, that does show that you're serious, and that also is a great war chest to start the campaign.
So, obviously, Lindsey Graham is very nervous.
That's why it's no coincidence that he asks for the Trump endorsement as he knows that you are a serious candidate.
I want to urge everybody to go to your website.
It's there right there in the lower third.
That's lynchforsenate.com.
That's lynchforsenate.com.
Mark Lynch, I appreciate you throwing your hat in the ring.
I look forward to interviewing you again, and I want to give you the last word, sir.
Thank you so much for your time, and I want to give you the last word.
Well, I know polling is beginning for us, and when we speak, everybody's loving what we're doing.
I'm just raw.
What you see is what you get with me.
I'm straight up.
I don't have to play a game.
I'm not going to make a vote on protecting my voters.
You know, like you brought up on January the 20th when we watched it live at home.
Lindsey was one of the first ones to head towards the corner to protect his next election voters because he was gambling.
You know, and so he wasn't a Trump supporter ever.
These guys are never Trumpers until Trump wins.
Oh, then they love him then, don't they?
We all love Trump from the beginning because we knew he was the guy that we needed, just a smart businessman that'll do common sense things, and he'll just do what is right for the love of country and love of his family man, and that's me.
I'm doing this because I've got to.
We've got to get in there and get these people out.
I want my four grandchildren.
Maybe there'll be more, but right now there's four.
They need the same opportunity and future that I've enjoyed here in this country.
My father was one of the greatest generation.
He volunteered to join the Army 82nd Airborne in World War II, and so did my wife's dad.
He was in the Navy, high-level Navy captain.
And so I wasn't in the military.
We've been living the dream.
I want to fight now in these years of our life.
In this next season, the next mission trip for me, I've been to Africa and Haiti and all over the world doing mission work.
The next mission work is D.C. That's where we got to go.
Help me get there.
Absolutely. You're exactly right.
We need to send a lot of missionary teams to Washington, D.C. because it's very much like a totally foreign, unchurched land at this point.
Mark Lynch, I look forward to interviewing you again soon.
Best of luck to you.
Thank you for throwing your hat in the ring.
God bless you, sir, and have a blessed Easter weekend.
You too.
God bless you, Paul.
Thank you for what you're doing.
This makes a big difference.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
All right, be safe.
Folks, again, that's Mark Lynch.
You can find out more.

That's Lynch4Senate.com.
Before we go any further, I want to tell you about Red Vive and the great folks over at Red Vive Health.
All right, so the healing power of light.
There are the panels.
You have two options, the 60 or the 300.
You also can talk to Raul Desai.
Dr. Desai is a radiologist.
He knows the science is all there.
The paper's there.
But Dr. Desai, we're actually going to be interviewing him on Monday more about these incredible clinical strength red light panels that you can have in your health.
The panels themselves emit red and near-infrared light, which are two different wavelengths.
That are naturally emitted by the sun.
But in targeted doses, these waves have a healing effect on the body.
You have the red light spectrum, which is absorbed by the skin, which leads to enhanced skin health by collagen production, which also produces a tightening of the skin, which is anti-aging.
I'm sure there are some ladies out there that Their ears perked up.
Then you have the near-infrared light spectrum, which is a separate feature that you can get one or the other or both at the same time.
The near-infrared light penetrates deeper into the body, which reaches your bones, your muscles, your tissues, your organs, and this is stimulating the mitochondria at the cellular level, which is the powerhouse of the cells, what makes cellular respiration possible.
It's what happens when you increase the blood flow.
It's absolutely fantastic results, and it really sounds like a catch-all, but it really is.
Inflammation, pain, if you want to get better rest, this really works with your circadian rhythm, especially if you do it early in the morning when you get up or right before bed.
You can get great night's sleep, but the energy boost that you feel, and I can attest to this, is incredible.

This portion of the program brought to you by Curable Premium Health.
We'll tell you more about their CBD products here in just a moment.
Huge news.
You know, I opened that segment talking about Lindsey Graham, and we're so thankful that Mark Lynch is primary in Lindsey Graham.
But one of the things that we started with was...
The fact that he's never met a war that he doesn't like.
Very much a neocon.
All of this foreign policy nonsense that we keep doubling down on really just happens to...
It ends up enriching corrupt politicians.
I think that's what we're seeing.
That's what we're going to find out more as we dig into it.
But a very, very positive development last night.
With this New York Times story that broke, and we're going to dive into this just for a little bit.
There may be some people out there skeptical because it is the New York Times, and most of the time the New York Times is full of lies.
But I think this story was written to get the word out to people who are anti-Trump that Trump is resisting Benjamin Netanyahu's I've been asking this question for a long time because,
you know, Donald Trump is trying to get peace in Russia and he wants to normalize relations with Russia.
And my question has been this entire time, how do you normalize relations with Russia if you go to war with Iran, which is a Russian proxy?
Seems like the whole thing.
Seems like you have to have peace across the board.
Or you're not going to have peace at all.
Nick Sorter saying that President Trump, according to the New York Times, President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, who, by the way, Lindsey Graham was not a fan of confirming.
Now we know why.
Because Lindsey Graham loves wars in the Middle East.
President Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth stepped into halt an Israeli airstrike on Iranian nuclear sites in favor of negotiations, according to the New York Times.
Nick Sorter saying, holy crap, if this is true, Trump and his cabinet just stopped World War III.
Now, it's interesting because some people are drawing this New York Times story.
By the way, we have the story right here.
Headline, Trump waved off Israeli airstrike after divisions emerged in his administration.
Subheader, Israel developed plans for attacking Iranian nuclear facilities that would have required U.S. assistance, but some administration officials had doubts.
It's a New York Times story based on anonymous sourcing.
They're saying that Trump's officials...
Let's see if we can't find exactly where it is in this story here.
But it all revolved around, you know when Benjamin Netanyahu came to talk about the tariffs after Liberation Day, which was on April 2nd?
On April 7th, all of a sudden, Benjamin Netanyahu comes to the White House.
It was so interesting, and it was all about tariffs.
That was publicly what it was.
But they did talk in the Oval Office a little bit about negotiations with Iran, and Benjamin Netanyahu looked quite uncomfortable.
It says here, with the United States, let's see here, where is it?
Tulsi Gabbard.
Let's see, I read this.
It's not until you get kind of further down.
Yeah, so a range of officials.
Here it is right here.
In a meeting this month, one of several discussions about the Israeli plan, Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, presented a new intelligence assessment that said the buildup of American weaponry...
Could potentially spark a wider conflict with Iran that the United States did not want.
A range of officials echoed Ms. Scabbard's concerns in the various meetings.
Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President J.D. Vance all voiced doubts about the attack.
Even Mike Waltz.
Frequently, one of the most hawkish voices on Iran was skeptical that Israel's plan could succeed without substantial American assistance.
And so, people are connecting this story.
I don't know if this is true.
I don't know if this next part.
They're connecting this story based on sources within the government.
To this story about Pentagon advisors being placed on administrative leave amid a Department of Defense leak probe.
They're trying to hunt these leakers.
It says two Defense Department deputy chiefs of staff have now been placed on administrative leave in addition to one of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's leading advisors, Dan Carroll, who was escorted out of the Pentagon after he was identified in a leak.
This is from One American News.
On Tuesday, Darren Selnick, a deputy chief of staff for Hexeth, was officially placed on administrative leave.
And additionally, the following day, Colin Carroll, a chief of staff of Deputy Defense Secretary Steven Feinberg, was similarly suspended.
Selnick and Carroll are now reportedly under investigation for the same leak that also placed Caldwell on leave.
So, I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what...
Some people are saying that they were let go because they knew they leaked to the New York Times.
Now, it could have also had something to do with the signal gate chat problem as well.
I don't exactly know.
I'm just reporting to you possibilities.
But War Clandestine over on X has an incredibly interesting take on this.
He says, I understand many are hesitant to believe the New York Times.
But Trump already said all of this himself 10 days ago when Netanyahu came to visit.
Do you remember this?
Let me pipe this in here.
This was Donald Trump and Netanyahu back on April the 7th.
We're having direct talks with Iran, and they've started.
It'll go on Saturday.
We have a very big meeting, and we'll see what can happen.
And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious.
And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it.
So we're going to see if we can avoid it.
But it's getting to be very dangerous territory.
And hopefully those talks will be successful.
And I think it would be in Iran's best interest if they are successful.
Well, we hope that
So people have remarked that as Trump is saying this...
Benjamin Netanyahu is extremely uncomfortable.
I want you to watch his facial reactions.
Watch his facial reactions.
We're having direct talks with Iran.
And they've started.
It'll go on Saturday.
We have a very big meeting.
There was a sigh there.
There was like a sigh there.
And I think he knows he's aware.
I think Benjamin Netanyahu, in this instance, I think he is aware That his emotions, that he is wearing his emotions on his sleeve.
He's trying to rein it in.
I honestly, I really think that.
And I'm not a body language expert.
Never have taken a psychology class in my life.
But to me, it just looks like he's wearing his emotions on his sleeve about the idea of not bombing Iran.
And then he's trying to catch himself and act cool about it.
Actually, we have a close-up.
This is the close-up of Netanyahu as Trump is making these statements.
Listen. We're having direct talks with Iran, and they've started.
It'll go on Saturday.
We have a very big meeting, and we'll see what can happen.
And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious.
And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with or, frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it.
So we're going to see if we can avoid it.
But it's getting to be very dangerous territory.
And hopefully those talks will be successful.
I mean, so Shadow of Ezra, Benjamin, this was back on the 7th, or no, this was on the 8th, the day after the visit.
Benjamin Netanyahu looked nervous and visibly terrified as President Trump announced he's moving forward with talks to avoid a war with Iran.
So the New York Times article is essentially corroborating Or at least the puzzle pieces at least fit together here.
They also fit together in Trump matter-of-factly saying Israel doesn't want this as well.
Okay, one more time and I'll stop it.
We're having direct talk with Iran.
Listen to when he says this.
And they've started.
It'll go on Saturday.
We have a very big meeting and we'll see what can happen.
And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious.
And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with.
So the obvious is something I don't want to be involved in, and frankly, Israel doesn't want to be involved in.
Now, if you read the New York Times report, Israel's attack depends on the United States facilitating it or protecting Israel because they know Iran would retaliate.
Allegedly, according to the report, That's something that Donald Trump said, no, we're not going to be involved here.
And so when he says, frankly, Israel doesn't want, Israel on its own does not want to do this because it would be disastrous for them.
At least that's what I am hearing here.
And the Oval Office meeting on the 7th makes a lot more sense in light of the New York Times story.
Again, it is the New York Times.
Could be full of lies.
But things certainly...
Now, at the same time...
I mean, I could wake up tomorrow morning, folks, and we could hear the news that we've bombed Iran's oil fields, which is what people like Lindsey Graham have been begging Joe Biden to do and Donald Trump to do for years and years.
So you never know about this.
Could be a red herring, but it is fascinating.
If true, I will tell you this.
I do believe that Vance, I do believe that Hegseth, and I do believe that Gabbard...
We're like, we should not go to war with Iran.
And the fact that Susie Wiles is even allegedly saying we don't need to go to war with Iran, that's a surprise to me.
But I am certainly thankful for it because I am praying for peace.
I am praying for no more dead soldiers, specifically, specifically no more dead American soldiers in the Middle East.
But obviously I don't want anyone to die.
Fascinating situation right now.
Also, we had this.
Patrick Webb posting Trump to cut foreign aid by 75%, including $27 billion from the State Department, which will cut funding to the United Nations, NATO, and over 20 global organizations per a budget draft.
So Fox News has got a budget draft, and it looks like nationalism is back.
Also, speaking of Tulsi Gabbard, as promised, she writes, I have declassified the Biden administration's strategic implementation plan on countering domestic terrorism.
Now, of course, from a leftist standpoint, this is Joe Biden's totalitarian plan.
From a leftist standpoint, domestic terrorism means white domestic terrorism, and white domestic terrorism is...
Well, are you a Christian?
Do you believe in Jesus?
Do you shoot fireworks on the 4th of July?
And do you barbecue?
Congratulations, you're now the FBI, which at one time was Joe Biden's personal police force.
You're now the FBI's chief suspect in being a domestic terrorist.
These are their definitions.
Whether they say them out loud or not doesn't matter.
If you go to the report, towards the end of this report that Tulsi Gabbard has released, we see...
We see something titled the fourth pillar.
Confront long-term contributors to domestic terrorism.
Lethal means for pertaining acts, I'm sorry, for perpetrating acts of domestic terrorism are reduced.
Greater care is provided.
Earlier to potentially dangerous individuals, norms of nonviolent political expression and rejection of racism and bigotry are strengthened.
Americans have increasing faith in democracy and government, increase civics education and promote democratic resiliency, increase civic engagement to foster social cohesion.
And it says here, rain in the proliferation of ghost guns, encourage state adoption of extreme risk protection orders, which would be red flag laws, and drive other executive and legislative action, including banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
They want to disarm us.
Joe Biden wanted to disarm us, wanted us to live in a complete security state, and wanted to enslave us.
There's no question about that.
But anyway, Tulsi Gabbard has released this.
I'm sure more people will pour over these documents and we'll find out more about them.
But if you want to talk domestic terrorism, there's this guy with rainbow and Ukrainian flags in his bio.
I've never heard of him.
His name is Nicholas Decker.
And he's a GMU, econ, PhD student.
And he recently posted an article yesterday called...
When must we kill them?
He writes, Et cetera,
et cetera.
He writes on Twitter, So the left actually says the quiet part out loud.
They are a domestic terror movement, as Aron McIntyre points out with this post.
I think it's fitting, considering...
Tulsa Gabbard releasing Joe Biden's instructions on domestic terrorism, declassifying that.
And now we look what the left is doing, firebombing Teslas.
And because they have lost electoral politics and their woke sex religion appears to be in retreat, they're now saying, I think we're going to have to kill Trump supporters.
You know, it's interesting, when you look at, this also popped up in my feed, and I kind of put all these stories together.
It's something I really enjoy doing, kind of telling a story of the day.
Do you guys remember the Bundy family cattle controversy with the Bureau of Land Management and the Obama administration?
It was April 12, 2014.
April 12, 2014.
Think about that.
Here was the story.
Do you remember this?
If you want to know the importance of never letting the government disarm you, do you remember this?
Ammon and hundreds of protesters headed for the lot where the government had impounded the family's cattle.
All units are going to see the US coming in.
Clyde advocating they rip down the fence and get the cows back.
We obtained video taken by law enforcement that day.
I'm missing that one guy on the bridge.
Some of it has never been shown before.
They were all heading to this wash where the main entrance was to the pen where the BLM held his cattle.
As the protesters converged on the cattle pen, law enforcement officers from a half dozen agencies scrambled to hold them off.
They come with horses, you're going to have to probably want to get in the back of the truck because they'll run you over.
If they break this, we're not going to be able to stop horses.
No, that's what I'm saying.
Once we were down there, they were in stacking position with their rifles up.
I want you guys to be ready for second wave, okay?
When I call in second wave, come in.
We're afraid because they're telling us that if we don't disperse it, they're going to open fire.
And that's what we believed that they would do.
But the militias were in position, too.
Anybody who went there was prepared for the federal government to take lethal action.
Long guns right in front of us.
I've got two more over here that are nailed down.
It's at least 212 long guns.
I was thinking of how serious the situation had become.
We had a very volatile situation right then.
Northbound lanes has rifles with scopes.
Which one?
Northbound, the furthest bridge.
The government had snipers, and the militia put in place counter snipers.
It was a level of tension and borderline violence.
I was convinced it was gonna go south, but it was that close.
I've lost count how many gun guns.
If we get many more down here, we're gonna be hot guns.
The SWAT teams knew these guys are out there, they're there to defend, and they will whip your ass.
We will die.
Bundy! Bundy, come here!
At the head of the crowd, Ammon Bundy confronted BLM agent Dan Love, demanding he release the family's cattle.
You guys need to leave.
You need to leave.
That's the turn.
You need to de-escalate the situation.
I'm according upon you your responsibility to de-escalate the situation.
That's it.
They're staying here until they're gone.
And that's what we're doing.
BLM, go home!
It was going through my mind.
It is not worth it to have anybody hurt over 400 cows that they had impounded at that point.
So I told them to pull out, and pull out now.
The Bundys and their militia supporters had led an armed standoff in defiance of court orders, and no one was arrested.
They even got their cows back.
It was incredible.
I remember, I mean, I was covering it just in my, you know, local area on talk radio back in 2014, and I thought for sure, oh, this is going to pop off.
And then it didn't, and the government backed down.
The Obama-led government backed down, and that's when I really, truly, just in a modern-day sense, on paper, history, you can go look at the Second Amendment, why it's important, why we need it to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government.
You can say that until you're blue in the face, but when you actually see the event play out live, and there wasn't a shot fired, but it was the implication.
It was the implication of potential violence.
It was the potential of violence that got the BLM to stand down.
And of course they go after the Bundys and they declare war on them in many other ways since that day.
But it was an incredible moment in history.
And how long ago did it happen here?
I think their other tweet was 13 years.
13 years ago is when that happened.
Pretty incredible stuff.
All right, so next up, before we go any further, I do want to tell you about Curable CBD, Curable Premium Health, and the terrific CBD.
So at Curable, they plant the hemp, they till the soil, they water it, they maintain it, they harvest it, they extract the hemp.
In that process, they don't use any chemicals, these harmful pesticides that other farms do.
Then they send their product over to a third-party lab, and they verify the purity, they verify the quality, they verify everything that they say about their product, about how clean it is.
Right there on your screen, you see the muscle cream.
That's my favorite.
And for the price, 2,000 milligrams in a bottle.
This stuff works.
If you've got aches, if you've got pains, topically you put it on.
It is so much better than anything Shaquille O'Neal would advertise.
You know how he used to advertise that stuff?
Whatever it was.
Yeah, that's nature's.
You need to use the CBD.
It's incredible.
Then they got the gummies, sleep gummies, 300 milligrams.
They got melatonin in the gummies now.
And I want you to go to curable.com.
If you've never tried CBD, you have no idea the anti-inflammatory benefits you can get from all of their great products over at curable.com.
Curable.com, K-U-R-I-B-L.
That's K-U-R-I-B-L.com.

We're not going to have time to get to this because, I mean, I want to get to a few other things.
But yesterday, the press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, gave the floor to the mom of murdered Rachel Morin, who was brutally murdered and raped by an illegal immigrant.
It's an eight-minute, it's grueling to hear this mother talk about what this barbarian did to her daughter from El Salvador.
But we have Chris Van Hollen in El Salvador, and this is what he said, trying to get this MS-13 gang member released.
And the Trump administration, you would think that the U.S. courts have found that Mr. Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13, but in fact, they have not found that.
In fact, recently a U.S. federal court judge said that the Trump administration did not have evidence to support the claim.
Well, here's the deal, Mr. Van Hollen.
President Trump's DOJ has released documents from Homeland Security proving the man deported to El Salvador as an MS-13 gang member.
Here's Prince George's County Police Department.
This is, you see a few things here.
We know that he was an affiliated gang was checked.
We can even see a little bit of this report about loitering around the Home Depot.
It was a known gang hangout.
MS-13 immediately recognized somebody named Kristen Hernandez Romero, a.k.a.
Bimbo, as a member of MS-13.
If we go to the next page, we also have criminal affiliation.
Subject has been identified as a member, an active member of MS-13.
And we see here, here he is right here.
Upon arrival, met with the task force office detective, and he stated that a subject later identified as Abrego Garcia-Kilmore Armando.
Detained in connection to the murder investigation.
Hang on, we've got some redacted stuff.
Then approached the subject, identified themselves as immigration enforcement, and questioned the subject regarding the citizenship.
It is clear from these documents that we have an MS-13 gang member here.
That's what is clear.
And the DOJ released these documents.
And we also have something else for you.
According to the Tennessee Star, they're doing some great work over the Tennessee Star.
They broke a huge story, according to Robbie Starbuck.
Robbie Starbuck, you know the illegal immigrant the Democrats are trying to free from El Salvador.
Well, in 2022, he was stopped driving without a license in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected him of trafficking seven people inside.
The THP then learned he was on a terrorist watch list, so they called Biden's FBI, but Biden's FBI told the THP to release him.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was then released due to the Biden-FBI order, and the THP concerns about trafficking were ignored by the government.
This is on top of a court plus Maryland police findings that they believe he was in MS-13 and his wife reporting that he beat her when filing for a protective order.
This guy is who they're trying to say is just a, quote, Maryland man.
It is absolutely insane.
It is absolutely insane that this is where they are.
But incredible work by Tom Papert and the Tennessee Star.
Breaking this story wide open now.
Also suspected of trafficking, the Biden administration releases him back.
This is who the Democrats are going to bat for, and it's absolutely insane.
Anyway, we are out of time.
We don't have time to get to Letitia James.
Hey, in just a minute, I'm going to be sitting down with our good friend.
Jacob Holloway.
We're going to be recording an episode for tomorrow.
So I won't be here tomorrow, but we will have an episode broadcasting for you tomorrow on Good Friday.
So I'll say this at the end of that episode, but hey, I hope everybody has a wonderful Resurrection Sunday.
And stay tuned for tomorrow.
I hope you have a great Good Friday reflecting on the death, burial, resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
And until...
Until we see each other again, folks, unless I'm providentially here, I'll be back here Monday.
Again, we will have a show tomorrow.
And so, God bless everybody out there watching.
And we'll see you soon.
