B (2:31)

A what?

A (2:33)

Charlie Kirk's death, his assassination, it was like a domestic 9 11. That is madness. Okay? I mean that is insanity. We're going to look into the financing. I've been banging the drum on this for a while. J.D. vance, the Vice President was talking about this when he was on Charlie Kirk show about looking into who was financing this young man that shot and killed Charlie Kirk. And I have to say, look, it is horrible what happened to Charlie Kirk. I mean you all have seen me, I've been very emotional talking about it. It is chilling what happened to Charlie Kirk. This young man that was radicalized, that seems, it seems that he was maybe white knighting for his trans roommate girlfriend. It's sick what he did. It's sick. And he should be held accountable for his crimes. And he's going to. He's in custody. It's nothing like 9 11. And in 911 the people that flew the planes into the buildings killing 3,000Americans, they were part of an international plot. They were part of a international organization that was coming after America. They were funded by a broader organization.

B (3:52)

Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda.

A (3:54)

There was terrorist networking and financing that led to that attack, that were planning their individuals and groups that were planning subsequent attacks and they were coming after America. We were at war, okay? Some of the things we did in the fallout from that were wrong were mistakes. Obviously the Iraq war, some of the powers that the federal government took to spy on people, what went overboard, particularly.

B (4:21)

Domestically, particularly targeting Muslims.

A (4:24)

But the idea that we would go and look back to 911 and say we need to do that, we need to take that security state spy apparatus and use it to target and root out foes. There's nothing, there's no comparison. This guy was not part of some left wing cabal. He's not part of some domestic effort to undermine the country or to undermine our government or to go after our way of life or like none of that. This is a guy that went crazy, had access to a firearm, had a trans roommate, was radicalized, committed a heinous murder that he should be punished for.

B (5:11)

To the fullest extent of the law.

A (5:13)

It is not a domestic 9 11, okay? And the fact that Scott Besson is supposed to be the calm headed one and this isn't Stephen Miller, this isn't.

B (5:22)

JD Vance figure taking it.

A (5:24)

This is the guy that's supposed to be bringing calm to the administration saying that he's going to use the powers of the Treasury Department to go after the bank records of people on the left under the auspices of some kind of war on domestic terror, like a war on terror style effort to go after Americans who are political opponents of theirs.

B (5:51)

And the pre pretext for that is.

A (5:52)

This, this assassination with this guy who there's no evidence was involved in any of those groups. It's lunacy. It is un American we should all be worried about this. Anyone, any American who believes in freedom and rights should be worried that the federal government will be talking like this. There's a lot of folks, there's kind of a horseshoe. There's a lot of folks on the, on the libertarian right and left who were outraged about the excesses of the.

B (6:23)

Security state following 9 11.

A (6:26)

And they had some good points, I.

B (6:28)

Would say, in retrospect.

A (6:30)

And a lot of them are in the MAGA coalition. So MAGA folks, I just encourage everybody to listen to this and say no, like this is not what you want. You do not want federal government declaring emergency powers to go after your bank account, okay?

B (6:45)

Because they're imagining some conspiracy that is at the scale of Al Qaeda to.

A (6:54)

Go after people that doesn't exist.

B (6:57)

I just want to keep watching this video a little bit more.

E (6:59)

You see these groups where all the signs match. They have hundreds of the same umbrellas that they're using, you know, after they cause the mayhem. They have the same lasers that they're using to blind our police force. How are they constructed? Because this takes a lot of money. It takes a lot of organization. And we are going to do that. We have started to compile this, put together networks and there's a long record here. And we don't know how much of the support's coming in from overseas. We don't know how much being supported by, you know, US nonprofits, C3s that give money to C4s. But this is mission critical for us. Now, just as after 911 and Osama bin Laden, the ultimate culprit was captured, we are operationalizing this here at treasury and we are going to track down who is responsible for this. So Charlie's death has set this off. And we are determined, we're determined not only to honor him, but to keep our country safe and to ensure freedom of speech on both sides.

A (8:15)

We've started to compile lists.

B (8:17)

So the Treasury Secretary said, he says.

A (8:19)

That Charlie Kirk's death is like 9 11. And we're looking at groups that oppose the government and groups that were critical.

B (8:27)

Of right wing organizations. And they've started to compile lists of those groups. They started to put together networks. There's a long record here. And they're going to come after them. They're going to use the power of the federal government to go after them. Those are the rantings of a madman. Like, that is not somebody who is in touch with reality at all. That is somebody that has gotten way out over their skis. Power has Gotten to their head. And somebody needs to throw a cold glass of water on Scott Vicente. Not literally, but he's got a cool off, okay? Dude's got to cool off and take a walk around the block and realize that there is not some cabal of people in this country coming for him and that the federal government should go after criminals.

A (9:16)

They have evidence that people have committed crimes, they should go after them. Obviously, if there is funding of violent organizations out there, Treasury Departments surely should look into, you know, those funding networks. Nothing maybe for the Treasury Department to look into is the corruption, the amount of money that's, you know, being given to the president's family via cryptocurrency. But might want to look into those networks as well. If we're talking about funding networks. But to like say that you're, you're planning a war on terror style 911.

B (9:48)

Campaign targeting left wing groups in this country because of the Charlie Kirk assassination, when there's no evidence that that man, that that kid had any fucking relationship with any of those groups. Very bad, very ominous, very scary.

A (10:00)

I'll play one other clip for him.

B (10:01)

Because this is not a one off. Here he is talking on the panel with CNBC.

F (10:07)

We're on day 15 and it doesn't look like there's any sign of a deal.

E (10:11)

Well, there's a thought out there that they're at least waiting to this crazy no kings rally this weekend, which is going to be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is, you know, a big title. And you know, no kings equal no paychecks. We are paying our military. Today the Pentagon went into surplus funds and we'll be able to make paychecks.

A (10:42)

And you know, again, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, no kings equals no paychecks.

B (10:49)

Like, what is he talking about again?

A (10:50)

He's talking about these protesters that are like, normie, lefty. We've talked about this on here. A lot of, you know, kind of suburban grandmas, God love them out there, marching like this is not the furthest.

B (11:04)

Left, the hardest core, the most unhinged. These are not violent. They're very nonviolent rallies. The one I went to in New Orleans was super peaceful and chill and very NPR tote baggish. Like this is. This person is out of touch.

A (11:18)

He, he lived in a Barbie house in South Carolina. He, he became treasury secretary.

B (11:23)

He's now in a bubble. He's got a lot of power and people around him, I think, are telling him that there Are all these people around out to get him? They're all these extremists and it's just not true.

A (11:33)

Okay, he should do his job, which.

B (11:35)

Is to keep the President from crashing the economy. That's his main job and he should stick to that.

A (11:41)

And he should leave the demagoguery to.

B (11:44)

The experts in the administration, Stephen Miller and J.D. vance, because this stuff is chilling and the Treasury Secretary should be above it. Okay. One other thing that he's been talking about unrelated to all this, but just shows kind of like his derangement, how high he is on his own supply, that he thinks he can get away with this. Here he is.

A (12:00)

Well, actually, I don't know if we.

B (12:01)

Have video of this, so I'm just going to read to you a quote from Scott Besant about Argentina, the Argentina bailout.

A (12:10)

Speaking of reporters, Besant said the administration is now working on an additional 20 billion billion dollar.

B (12:17)

Support line for Argentina.

A (12:19)

That would be an addition to the.

B (12:22)

Currency swap that they're already doing. It's gonna be a private partnership, I guess some banks are interested, many sovereign funds, he says. And then he goes, that would be a total of 40 billion for Argentina.

A (12:36)

What? Who wants this? There's a $20 billion bailout for Argentina. Then the Treasury Secretary is going to, in some combination of private public fund an additional 20 billion to Argentina. When Bessa, we know, has friends who have come to him who have business associations and relationships there. I mean, the, the corruption here is insane. It is not America first, it goes against what MAGA wants. And maybe, I guess, maybe there is.

B (13:01)

Some connection between these first two videos.

A (13:02)

Maybe Besson thinks he can do these.

B (13:04)

Deals for his buddies and do these hor. Some a horrible for. Horrible for America nonsensical bailout of Argentina to, you know, help out some of his friends, scratch the back of some of his finance investor buddies. And maybe MAGA won't care as long as he does, you know, bids to combat on podcasts. I, I don't, I don't know. Or as long as he promises to go after the libs they don't like on podcast is maybe a better way of putting it. But dude is off his rocker and, and it's something that I think we need to monitor because at some level.

A (13:39)

And I've been hard on old Scott, you know, you gotta be tougher on the gays.

B (13:43)

We expect more for them.

A (13:44)

But you know, on some of the tariff stuff, he's obviously been the more.

B (13:47)

Sane partner to Lutnick.

A (13:49)

And it's like if this if the.

B (13:52)

Reasonable, relatively people in the administration are now fully on board for the corruption agenda, fully on board for this demagogic effort to target political foes using every lever that the government has its disposal, we're in for a rocky ride.

E (14:09)

So.

B (14:09)

So, Scott Besant, take a breath, drink some tea, and let's try to dial it back because you're. You're losing your mind here. This stuff is. This stuff is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Everybody subscribe to the feed. We'll be back here for more.

A (14:22)

As always, we'll be seeing you all soon.
