It is time to wake up. On this show, we cover the stories the mainstream media won't touch. Live from the Rocky Mountains, welcome to Redacted with Natalie and Clayton Morris. Are you ready? Let's get uncomfortable. Welcome in everyone. Well, one of the stories the mainstream media won't touch is that they're pushing us towards a civil war. It seems they want us to have battle lines drawn. Marjorie Taylor Greene just came out a short time ago says they are pushing us, the powers that be are pushing us towards a civil war. So we need to be keep our head on a swivel and actually dive into the nuance of some of these stories instead of getting dragged around. And we're specifically, of course talking about what happened in Minnesota this weekend over again.
- [02:16]
B
Over the weekend. That's right. So we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna talk about gun legislation. The NRA making a rare rebuke of the Trump administration saying no sir Having a gun does not make you a threat. Kindly back down on that. We're also gonna talk about massive military expansions. We're gonna look at the new 2026 military plan. It's kind of fantastical, but at the very least, it's saying the quiet part out loud is we're gonna bully people for what we want, basically.
- [02:45]
A
Good. Oh, good. Also, Susie Wiles added, again, you know, there are a host of pardons that should be pardoned. People like John Kiriakou, Tim Shea, people who were being prosecuted really, under the Biden administration and the Obama administration. And these pardons still have not happened. Guess what? Guess where it all leads. It all leads right up the totem pole to Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and the people that she's controlling underneath her. People like Todd Blanche, of course, and people like Pam Bondi. So we're gonna deep dive exactly why these pardons are being held up. People like Tina Peters. Why the hell is Tina Peters still behind bars? This is insane. We're going to talk about all of that and more as redacted starts right now. So let us know where you're joining us from on this Monday. Thank you guys so much for subscribing and being a part of our show. We really appreciate it. We also have a daily newsletter. I would love for all of you to subscribe to it. It's totally free. Natalie writes it. She does a bang up job writing it just about every night into the morning hours so that it winds up in your inbox first thing in the morning and you can read it over your cup of coffee. Read in about five or 10 minutes. We try to cover the stories that mainstream media ignores and we give you little markets update and all of that. You can see, like, silver prices hitting this, like, new record high of $114 an ounce. Holy smokes. That's all in the newsletter. So grab it@redacted.inc. is the place to go. Well, over the weekend, we watched a US Citizen get shot and killed in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation. The reason this story has exploded isn't just. It's tragic. Of course it is. Anytime there's a loss of life, it's exploded because the official story immediately ran into a wall of video evidence. And then, of course, it exploded because politicians and celebrities and everyone else jumped online and social media and started to spin the story to fit their narrative. People were even fundraising off of this. Of course, that's how this usually works, right? To fit their own agenda. The man who was killed was a man by the name of Alex Pretty. He was a 37 year old ICU nurse, also worked with veterans helping veterans. And according, according to reports, he was legally allowed to carry a firearm. He was registered, followed the letter of the law. But oddly, the widely shared footage doesn't show him holding a gun at the exact moment he's confronted. That's exactly what, of course, sparked a lot of this outrage. The gun appears to go off in the hands of a federal agent as he's carrying the gun across the street. Again, we need a full investigation before we can parse any of this. That's when, of course, another agent then opened fire, killing Alex. Now even the NRA is calling for a full investigation, pushing back on this idea that lawful gun ownership somehow makes you a legitimate target because you carry a weapon. Now you are a legitimate target.
- [05:33]
B
Which is exactly what Cash Patel said on Fox News over the weekend. My jaw hit the floor. He says, well, you shouldn't bring up a gun to a protest. You are allowed to do that. And Minnesota has open carry laws. This was a legal firearm. I couldn't believe it that this is a Trump administration official saying that you become a target for carrying a legal weapon. This is America. That's, that's not how it works. Someone needs to tell him that the.
- [06:00]
A
Whole purpose is to weaponize against the tyrannical government. I mean, that's like the whole reason for the Second Amendment.
- [06:08]
B
Yeah.
- [06:09]
A
So President Trump also said he shouldn't have been carrying such a powerful gun, which 9 millimeter. I mean, does he want him to carry an air rifle, like a Red Rider BB gun? Would that have been okay? I guess he don't shoot out.
- [06:20]
B
I won't touch the 9 millimeter. I'm afraid of it. I only do the.22s.
- [06:23]
A
She only shoots.22s. But even the NRA called that kind of rhetoric dangerous and wrong. Larry Johnson is a former CIA agent, counterterrorism official, and also an NRA certified firearms instructor who teaches gun safety and training every weekend. There he is. He just wrote a piece titled US Border Patrol is out of control on his website, Sonar21. Just read a little bit of it here. He says, as a certified firearms instructor, I have enough experience to know when law enforcement is out of line and engaging in a criminal conduct based on the video evidence I've seen, the shooting of Alex Pretty by a group of Homeland Security law enforcement officers was unjustified and most likely was caused. Most likely was caused in part by inadequate training. Well, we're going to talk more about that in just a second. You saw Larry there a second ago. He's here. And we wanted to bring him on for his analysis. Larry, great to see you.
- [07:15]
C
Hey, thanks for having me. And let me, let me be clear. I'm not here on behalf of the nra. I'm just, you know, I'm talking on my. So I don't represent them. And I can't say, according to the nra, this, this is. But it's based upon my experience. I've trained over 2000 people over, over the course of the years. I've trained in terms of what's called defensive pistol, concealed carry, how to protect yourself in the home, how to protect yourself outside the home. I've trained law enforcement officials, you know, retired, a couple active and military, former military. So it's not, I'm just dealing with people who've never had experience with guns.
- [07:56]
A
Now, before we get into the inadequate training piece, because that, to me, is a huge part of this story. And I think what happened in Minneapolis was really a microcosm of a larger problem that Tom Holman is now facing, which is inadequate training. Again, I want to put that on the back burner for just a second. On the front burner, though. I want to talk to this guy, Alex. And based on your experience, you know, did he do anything wrong? He's there. No.
- [08:19]
C
No. Unjustified. This shooting is completely unjustified. It's manslaughter by police. We know that because in one part of the video, it's the one that was taken from the sidewalk side. If you slow down, you can see that he had what's called an inside the waistband holster. And the holster was placed above his right butt cheek. You can see one of the police grabbed the gun. It was a Sig 320. Now, the Sig 320 has a bad reputation for going off. We don't know if this was one of those. But you can see the firearm is pulled. Now, what we can't tell is whether in pulling that firearm, did it go off or did the police, the law enforcement officer, did he holler, gun, gun, gun. Either way, if he's hollering, gun, gun, gun, or they hear a shot, then the other officers could think at that point, oh, my God, we're under attack, and they shoot the guy on the ground. Now, again, you're allowed to kill somebody to take their life if they pose an imminent threat of killing you or causing severe bodily harm. That's the standard really across across the United States There was. They weren't in that situation because this, this guy had not been out attacking police. He hadn't been punching anybody. In fact, he intervened to try to get the police to stop beating. They assaulted that woman. That woman had not done any. It'd be one thing if she had thrown a bottle of frozen water at him or a rock or something. She didn't do that. Then they come over and physically assault her. So that's assault number one. He steps in, trying to get there out of the way, and then they attack him with pepper spray. They put him on the ground. If he had drawn his gun, then, yeah, he would have been a legitimate target. Now, you could also make the case he had a good reason to draw the gun. But when you hear the Trump administration advancing this lie that somebody is not legally allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public, that's the second amendment, folks. Why do you think, you said Natalie.
- [10:41]
B
Earlier, why do you think the dogpile begins when he has not reached for his gun? They have no assumption that he has a gun. At this point. It's very unclear why so many need to be on him just for pushing a pepper sprayed victim out of the way.
- [10:57]
C
Yeah, well, it's mob violence by police. I mean, when a mob starts acting, they're not acting with rational thought. Then this, this goes back to the heart of training. You know, it's one thing if somebody, you know, if this guy, Alex Pratt, if he had start with he was throwing punches and it hit an officer that was saying, if the officer simply come out, sir, we need you to move away. And he then punched him, then you would have reason for the police to come over and drop him and say, okay, you've assaulted an officer. We're taking you into custody. But there had been no assault by pret at this point, none. And neither the woman. She hadn't assaulted anybody. And so this goes to the training because these officers, they should have known there was no legal justifiable reason to put hands on these people. The only reason they put hands on them was because they could. They're just showing them we're big enough or bad enough, we're tough enough. You know, look, I'm normally, I'm supportive of law enforcement, but this is outside the bounds. This is blatant murder by federal officials.
- [12:09]
A
So let's talk about this inadequate training. So I just spoke to a source on the border patrol side and who said, Clayton, this is at the heart of the problem is that you had 6,000 Border Patrol agents, then you've increased it to 10,000. Trump administration wants to push it to 10,000 or 20,000. It takes at least three years, three years minimum to be even in the ballpark of being out on the street. Most of these stations, whether you're in Omaha, Nebraska, or Des Moines, Iowa, have about 100 Border Patrol agents at these stations. Out of those hundred, 10 of them, 10% are out in the field. That's it. The rest of them are like lawyers and they're doing casework inside of the office. Really, it should be the opposite. It should be 80% should be out in the field.
- [13:03]
C
Right.
- [13:03]
A
And most of these people have almost no training whatsoever. They've been on the job for a minimal amount of time. They don't have any apprehension skills where they've had three years of actually apprehending people. And this is at the heart of the problem here. And then you have all of these people around them throwing bottles and other things like, involved in it. It's a recipe for disaster.
- [13:27]
C
Well, on top of that, it is the difference between the training that a customs border officer is going to go through is different from what law enforcement, police, whether we're talking, you know, local, city, county, state, and within that is attention paid to the Constitution. So I guarantee you that these border patrol officers are not getting a weak lesson about the constitutional protections because they're being told you're dealing with illegals, they don't have constitutional rights.
- [14:03]
A
Right. And then they're out there dealing with illegals. And then suddenly you get, like, organized leftist groups who are showing up. So, like, their job, I mean, let's be clear, right? Their job is to go after illegal immigrants. And they're in the heart of it. They're in the heart of it going after these Somalis. And I know one again, one source I spoke to today made five arrests today. And of those five arrests, they all had criminal records, they're all on welfare. And these are, like, violent criminals that they were rounding up. So you're out. That's your job. And then on top of it, you've got these, like, leftist groups who are throwing bottles at you and trying to get in your. Get in your way.
- [14:38]
C
Yeah, no, exactly. And I'm not trying to suggest because I support getting rid of the flood of the illegal migrants that have come into the country, but you do it according to the law.
- [14:49]
A
Yeah.
- [14:50]
C
And one of the things that most law enforcement officers get is instruction on how to de escalate. Now, I'd be willing to bet you when they go through and vet a Lot of these new custom border customs officers or border patrol officials. I bet you'll find that there are some former police who were removed from law enforcement jobs in their state or county because of past abuse. And because you find a lot. There's a, there's a great channel called the Civil rights attorney guy out of West Virginia.
- [15:24]
A
He's going to be on next, actually. After you. Yeah, yes, yes. He's going to be joining us here in a few minutes. After you.
- [15:30]
C
Yeah, so, yeah, so he's got story after story showing where law enforcement officials really cross the boundary and do not respect the constitutional rights. And I guarantee you these customs and border officials, they're not getting that because they're being told you're basically dealing with illegals. In fact, part of the training course that was shorted or they cut the training in half, that training course was learning to speak Spanish. So they've now ruled out that you may not even be able to communicate. But it also gets, this is a failure of leadership. Because it's one thing, you know, you've got an officer acting inappropriately, but he's. They're being told to do that. And the leadership at the top needs to make it clear you're not out here to see who you can beat up, who you can push, who you can, who you can put hands on. We're going to follow the law. And in fact, what we've heard is they're going to allow them to start entering homes without a warrant. Violation of the constitution, you know, clear violation. And yet the fact that you got people in leadership that are willing to entertain that.
- [16:33]
A
Yeah, there's no constitution anymore.
- [16:37]
B
But it does seem like the Trump administration has blinked on this one in a way they did not around the Renee Goode shooting where her car was a possible threat. Threat. And out there, a good point in the chat, someone says conceal carry is the way to go in this one. Cuz you are going to a situation with law enforcement. You don't want to look like an overt threat. You do want to be protected. So anyone who knows anything about gun rights would probably condone that, don't you think? What do you think?
- [17:05]
C
Absolutely right. No, absolutely. In fact, what the Trump administration has done now is further enraged a group that in the past were supporting Trump.
- [17:16]
B
The gun. Gun owners.
- [17:17]
C
Yeah, exactly. You know, gun owners like me, all of my students, I guarantee you, most of my students, if you surveyed them, they'd be saying this is, you know, this is outrageous. Just to be able to say, well, he had a Gun? Yeah, but was he reaching for it? No. Was he brandishing it? Brandishing means you got it out, you're waving it around. No. Then you don't have a right to shoot him. You know, that's the kind of thing you think somebody who's against gun rights would do, just to say, you got a gun, you're guilty because you have a gun. Wait a second. That's why we got the Second Amendment to protect us against this kind of government overreach.
- [17:54]
B
Is there any threat that this might change the Second Amendment that.
- [18:00]
A
Oh, they're pushing. They're already pushing, Larry. You already know. You already know. They're pushing. They're pushing for different magazine restrictions, all sorts of stuff. They're already out there pushing for it.
- [18:09]
C
Yeah. What do you do when the. The Republicans who are supposed to support this issue are now turning around and blaming the victim for following and abiding by the Constitution? Now, look, from. You know, this kid is younger than my son, so if he'd come to me and said, hey, I'm going to go out and protest, I'd say I would have told him, keep the gun at home, just. Just to avoid the possibility of problem, because you want to keep it peaceful. But if you're going to carry, you still have the right to carry. It's not prohibited. And I said, there are the prohibitions. I can't take it into the post office. I can't take it into an elementary, middle school, high school, or college. I can't take it to a public sporting event. So there are a variety. Even with the Second Amendment, there are a number of areas in different states defined where you can and cannot carry a firearm. This guy was on the public streets. There were no restrictions.
- [19:07]
A
I just want to play this real quick, Larry, before we let you go here, which is. You mentioned the type of firearm. This is this 9 millimeter.
- [19:15]
C
Yeah.
- [19:16]
A
I own a 365X macro.
- [19:19]
C
Yeah. Yeah.
- [19:20]
A
A Sig Sauer. I love it. I love it. This is a Sig. This one, though, has some different problems. I just want to play this and show how there's all sorts of problems with it just going off randomly. So if this law enforcement guy is carrying the gun, it just goes off in his hand. Watch this. Put some input into the slide somewhere.
- [19:38]
D
Will it go off again?
- [19:39]
A
Will it release? Let's see. That's three in a row. Let me take the screw out. So, Larry, what he's showing here, of course, is that just by putting pressure on the top allows us to go.
- [19:57]
C
Off yeah, that's the SIG Sauer 320.
- [20:02]
B
It's a known issue.
- [20:04]
C
It's striker fired. So you notice on the back, it didn't have a hammer. You can see a hammer. You can cock it. Decock, it didn't have a hammer. The firing pin, it's internal. But there have been reports of those going off on their own. And it's possible that this guy, I'm not sure what year it was, you know, his era of that firearm that was owned by Alex. But when the officer grabs it and pulls it out, if in that action of pulling a round went off and there was everyone heard the gunshot, then every thing, oh, my God, we're being shot at. And they start shooting. Now, again, you're supposed to be able to identify the threat. Just because you hear something doesn't mean you can pull your gun out, just start shooting randomly. But as we talked about earlier, there were five people on top of him, for God's sake. He wasn't, you know, he wasn't a World Wrestling Federation champion on the ground there. And if. If those five guys were not properly instructed just how to get control of a man's arm and wrist. I mean, there are some techniques, and it appears that none of them are actually properly instructed in that.
- [21:14]
A
Right. Again, the training. Again, I come back to the training. I mean, Tom Holman, these guys have a real big problem on their head. I don't want this to get lost in the story. I just really feel like that this is a microcosm of a larger problem right now.
- [21:25]
B
Can I just say the chat room is very obsessed with the fact that he didn't have ID and that the Second Amendment requires ID in this moment. Is that knowable? Can you respond to that?
- [21:37]
C
Okay, so did you see the police officer walk up to him and say, mister, who are you? And he could have said, well, I refuse to identify myself. But that didn't happen.
- [21:45]
B
No.
- [21:45]
C
Did you see the police say, where's your id? They didn't ask for that. So, hey, chat room, you're wrong. He. Yeah, if. If he was asked for an ID and failed to produce it, then. Even then. And you'll talk to, talk to the lawyer in a little bit and he'll explain the actual law on that. The constitutional. If you are not seen committing a crime or suspected of committing a crime, no law enforcement officer in the world, in the United States has a right to ask you for your id. None of your damn business.
- [22:21]
A
They didn't even give him the chance to let him know that he was armed. All of this stuff through conversation could have been settled. Yeah, great point.
- [22:28]
C
Absolutely right. So yeah, if they had asked for his ID and he could say, why, you know, what have I done? They could say, well you, you are obstructing an investigation. Okay, then, you know, that could be a borderline. But they could still make the case that he should produce his id. But again, he wasn't given the chance to do that. He was assaulted without with. Because he was trying to help defend a woman who had been assaulted.
- [22:56]
B
Yeah.
- [22:56]
C
And then he gets shot and it is at a minimum, it's manslaughter.
- [23:01]
B
A lot of times I wonder if it matters. And just thinking, I carry a digital, I have the app, we have a driver's license on the app. And so maybe he didn't have it on him, but now he's dead, he can't open his phone. That may have counted, we don't know. Right. So yeah, that feels like nitpicking in order to justify something that you want a means to an end this id.
- [23:26]
C
Completely unjustified because they didn't come up to him at any point and say, hey, can you producer id? They didn't give him a chance. Yeah, they assaulted him, beat him down and then shot him.
- [23:35]
B
Now are you. One more, one more question. Are you allowed to help someone who's been peppered, sprayed by the cops?
- [23:41]
C
That's, that's all it seems like from a human standpoint. Yes. You know. Yeah, just humanity.
- [23:47]
B
Right?
- [23:47]
C
Humanity. Yeah.
- [23:49]
A
All right, well, yeah, we're going to speak to John Bryan next, the civil rights lawyer about all of this. But you know, it was great to have your perspective as an NR and as an NRA gun trainer and CIA agent on the civil rights of this. And you know, again, it's amazing to see Republicans coming out against the second amendment and for coming into your home and searching and seizing your home or coming into your house, which is exactly one of the grievances in the frickin Declaration of Independence, for crying out loud. You know, not having people allowed to come into your home. This is exactly why we fought, as you point out in your piece, fought the British on all of this.
- [24:28]
B
Good to see Larry. Thank you so much.
- [24:30]
C
And 28 ancestors that fought him for it. So. Natalie Clayton, always a pleasure.
- [24:35]
A
Great to see you. David, go ahead. You had a question. I was just trying to point out.
- [24:38]
C
Like it doesn't help these guys when you have the Trump administration pretty much tweeting we have your back.
- [24:44]
A
You guys are pretty much above the law.
- [24:46]
C
Yeah. You know, that's what you got to worry about. You're behind my back. Oh my God. What are you going to do to me? Yeah.
- [24:52]
A
Larry, thank you. Great to see you.
- [24:53]
C
Okay, great.
- [24:54]
A
Bye.
- [24:55]
D
Bye.
- [24:55]
A
Appreciate it. All right, coming up, we're gonna speak to John Bryan, the host of the Civil Rights Lawyer, about all of this. And you know, what are your rights as Americans? I mean, that's at the heart of all of this, right? And what are the rights of these federal agents who are actually going off and trying to get these illegal immigrants out of our country? You know, these things are clashing right now. As Marjorie Taylor Greene is pointing out. They're pushing us towards a civil war and people are fundraising off of all of this.

B
We also want to tell you about American financing because obviously life is getting so expensive with the increasing military budget, with increasing government debt. We now have a spending package on the floor. It's only going to get worse because the government continues to spend our money, which is a theft from the American taxpayer. And in fact, who is the guest honey that we had on recently that said they thought that hamburgers like at McDonald's would be $30 in short order? Was that Peter Schiff?
- [27:24]
A
I think it was Peter Schiff, yeah.
- [27:25]
B
Who said it's only going to get worse. So if you are struggling to pay your bills, then you need to look into leveraging your assets. And your main asset is probably your home. So did you know that you could leverage the equity in your home in order to dig yourself out of debt? Now, that's something American financing teaches. You can call them, just take 10 minutes and call 866-890-8434 or go to american financing.netacted they'll get you qualified quick. Well, first they'll teach you this so you know what you're doing and you don't feel scared about it. Then they can get you qualified quickly. They can close in just a few weeks, and then you could even save yourself two mortgage payments so that you can get some breathing room. So instead of digging yourself into the red, you build your finances into the green. So let them teach you this. This is something wealthy people do all the time is leverage their assets. You can too go to american financing.netacted one more time. That's american financing.net.

All right, well, we want to get the civil rights perspective of all of this. And that's why we want to bring in right now, we want to bring in our next guest who knows more about civil rights than just about anybody in America, the host of the Civil Rights Lawyer show and that is John Bryan. Welcome in, John. Great to have you here on the show.
- [28:39]
E
Hi, thanks for having me.
- [28:42]
A
So we're trying to unpack this. And from a legal perspective, as an American who goes to a protest carrying, carrying a 9 millimeter weapon concealed in a hip holster, what rights does this individual have? What rights do other Americans have in similar situations?
- [29:00]
E
Well, you know, I'm not a Minnesota lawyer and you know, I'm not someone who's really going to give advice on protesting in Minneapolis right now. Sure. I'm just somebody who has a problem with masked federal agents disarming somebody, then shooting him, and then having federal officials immediately get on TV and say, this guy just attacked federal officers with a gun when multiple bystander videos show that that's not actually what happened. So, I mean, this is what we have here, and I've been talking about this for a long time, is federal officers effectively operating in what's been called a constitution free zone. They, they feel no accountability at all towards constitutional rights. What I can tell you is that we, we have the right not to be shot to death by our government under the fourth Amendment, where it's unnecessary, where it's unjustified. And it appears to me and other people that that's exactly what has happened here, yet what is to be done about it, you know, and, and so that there are a lot of other lawyers that are much more knowledgeable on these issues when you're dealing with the federal government than I am. And that's why I just had like a 45 minute conversation with Patrick Giacomo with the Institute for Justice to get his take on what's happening and everything that, that he's saying right now in Minneapolis. And it's, you know, it's whatever you think about the facts, what you've seen, the one thing we know for a fact is that these federal officers are entirely unaccountable to the citizens, to us at this moment in time. So I think the better message is, is that you shouldn't try to fight these federal officers on the streets. You should be fighting them in court. That is where, that is where the Constitution is going to be protected is in court. And there's a lot of fighting to be done right now.
- [31:28]
B
Right. You mentioned the masking, and this is something that came up in the death of Renee Good as well. You know, how do we know who we're dealing with? And what is the problem with that?
- [31:41]
E
Yeah, I mean, what could go wrong with, you know, masked federal agents, you know, roaming around anonymously who are entirely unaccountable, not only to local, state and local authorities, but to us. I mean, it's, it's something that I think the right has been against forever and now suddenly is for it because they have this political bias on, on the immigration policies. And it's just a terrible idea. I mean, we should never, we should never want our federal government running around in masks and there's nothing that we can do about it. I mean, that's basically what's happening right now.
- [32:27]
B
Is it unprecedented? Is there a law against it? Because it's just. All I can see is a bunch of ignorant people screaming about it on X. But none of us really know what the actual law is, and, and the precedents for it. And so maybe you can tell me.
- [32:44]
E
I mean, I, I don't know either. I mean, the problem is we're dealing. If we were, if we're talking state or local, it's completely different.
- [32:51]
B
Okay?
- [32:52]
E
You know, there's how. So there's at least some amount of accountability there. Yeah, they have qualified immunity, but we can, we can haul them into court, we can sue them, we can sue the, we're entitled to the name of the officer. We can sue the officer and there's at least some accountability there when we're, when we're dealing with federal officials. And it's actually very scary because we effectively basically cannot sue them. Like you could state or local officers who violate your constitutional rights. And at the same time, even your state and local authorities, they effectively cannot prosecute those federal officers. I mean, it can be done theoretically, but it's very, very difficult for them to do. And when they can do basically can be removed to federal court and take local jurisdiction completely away. So it's very, very scary. Not only that you have these masked individuals, but they're entirely unaccountable. And you may be okay with that right now because you like who is making the decisions and you support the, the immigration enforcement policy. But what happens in four years if somebody else is in charge of the administration and they're sending now masked federal agents to a second amendment protest, you know, such as in Virginia where it's very common for Second Amendment advocates to open carry AR15s at the state capitol? What happens when those mass federal agents, anonymous federal agents are sent there and they shoot, they disarm one of them and shoot him multiple times, killing him. And the Democrat administration then gets on TV and says, don't worry about it, it was completely justified. That was an insurrectionist. Etc, Etc. So that's the scary thing that people aren't realizing is, I mean, we've already had Ruby Ridge and Waco and other incidents. And if you're okay with it here, just because you think they're on your side, well, what happens in four years or six years when they're not on your side?
- [35:08]
D
Right.
- [35:08]
A
Yeah, well, and many, I mean, separately, many of these same people from Obama and Biden are still actually inside of ICE and actually still inside of the hierarchy of the Customs and Border Patrol. So many of the same people from the previous administration are still running things. So you're right about this. And when the shoe is on the other foot, are you gonna be there to support it? And We've already seen this happening in multiple protests, whether it was January 6th or otherwise. So you're absolutely right about this. And people have a short term memory because four years comes and goes pretty quickly.
- [35:42]
B
Well, right. I mean, Republicans defense of Kyle Rittenhouse having a gun at a Black Lives Matter protest now falls flat if they think that this man couldn't have had a gun. Can you. The contradiction you're pointing out is blaring. It wasn't a question. I apologize.
- [35:59]
E
Did you, I mean, I, I hope that people are seeing the, you know, that the mask is, is sort of been pulled off of a lot of these federal officials who have been sort of cosplaying, you know, conservatives and supporting the Second Amendment in reality. I mean, there are authoritarian statists on both sides and they're all against, they're all against citizens exercising their second Amendment rights. And we, we sort of have seen the mask come off. For instance, Cash Patel saying, well, if you go to a protest armed, then you may get shot. And other federal officials saying, saying similar things. And at the same time we see what just happened and they're, they're saying that this guy attacked federal officials with a firearm. When we can watch the video and we can see that that did not happen.
- [36:53]
A
Right.
- [36:53]
E
Yes, he had a firearm, but it never, he never took it. It doesn't appear that he ever took it out of the holster. It was actually the federal agents who jumped on that guy, like six or seven of them and they pull it out of his holster and then the guy gets shot and killed. So the gun had, his actions with the gun had nothing to do with him getting killed. That was all on the federal officers. And so hopefully people realize that, you know, these federal officials in either administration do not support your second Amendment rights. And if we are not careful, we are going to give them even more power, even more authority, and it's going to be used, it's going to be used against us just like the Patriot act was. So they'll probably come up with some sort of federal officers protection act. And, and it's, it's going to further, it's going to criminalize anybody having, you know, a military style pistol with optics and multiple magazines. And, and now we've lost even more rights just because, just in the name of safety. And why don't we just take a step back and put our political biases aside and just objectively look at what happened and try to apply the law fairly. What happened? Was it objectively reasonable based on the circumstances and why? So that's the one thing that our federal officials are not doing. And, and that's the one thing that we need to do here. An unarmed guy, we believe an unarmed guy was shot. How did that occur? Did they, was there a negligent discharge that led the officers to believe that the guy had fired at them? Was this a mistake? You know, we don't know all the facts yet, but it does not look good.
- [38:57]
A
We just spoke to Larry Johnson a few moments ago, former CIA agent and NRA gun trainer. And he said, you know, we all have relatives who fought in the Revolutionary War, many of us do. And he said this is what we fought against the British for. This illegal search and seizure coming into your home. This is another piece of this now which is the expansion of these powers coming into your home without a warrant, these warrantless searches. Can you talk a little bit about that?
- [39:28]
E
Yeah, I, again I, I have a video on my YouTube channel. I'm going to release here this evening my interview with Patrick Giacomo of the Institute for Justice. And they are sort of on the forefront of the legal effort it holding federal officials accountable when they violate your civil rights. Very, very complicated issue legally. They are a national nonprofit law firm and they've already just recently been at the U.S. supreme Court successfully on these issues. So he's the one I wanted to talk to about that. And we, he actually went in depth on the claim that the administration is making that they can enter our homes based on a so called administrative warrant. So his explanation of that I thought was fantastic. And that is he said, I'm refusing to even call the, the so called administrative warrant a warrant because it's not a warrant at all. Basically what this administrative warrant is is one ICE officer giving a piece of paper to another ICE officer that says like I hear by am giving you permission to go inside that house. So there's no actual judge involved at all. So I mean it's not, it should not even be called a warrant at all. And if so called conservatives who value freedom cannot see the problem with that. If you allow that now because you want illegals to be deported, how can you not see the slippery slope to come when there's a Democrat administration in the future who's now using it against gun owners or using, using it against political opponents? I mean it's just a terrible idea. The Constitution, our fourth Amendment rights and our home is the most protected place. Our, we have the highest protection in our home under our Bill of Rights. You know, it's not negotiate, it's non negotiable it's not a suggestion. It's not dependent upon political party or whether or not you think the political cause is important. It's completely non negotiable. It's a red line, and we cannot allow it to be crossed. So the. It's very troubling that they're claiming.
- [41:59]
A
The.
- [42:00]
E
Ability to write their own administrative warrants to get around the Fourth Amendment. So all of this has to be fought in the courts. It's not going to do any good to go out and try to fight federal officers on the street. In fact, that's probably exactly what they want. This sort of event, I believe, is exactly what they want, because now then they get to go create new laws that further restrict our freedoms. They get more funding, they get more power because that happened.
- [42:36]
A
Bingo.
- [42:37]
E
And so where that needs to be fought is in court with, you know, these law firms, such as the Institute for Justice. If people want to help, they can donate to them. And these are lawyers that are fighting and suing the federal government and other governments, state and local as well, like 24 7. So if you care about these issues, you can donate to these law firms. And again, I recommend the Institute for Justice and you can help keep them busy suing the government, because that's where, you know, that's where something. That's where you can help. Okay, it works. Or I mean, politics, right?
- [43:21]
B
It works. You have to. We saw the Biden administration back down on censorship because of litigation. We have seen the Trump administration back down on certain things because you're right, this is an effective way. We do have an effective system. We litigate our values.
- [43:37]
A
Thank you so much for joining us. I think you just hit the nail on the head there at the end. I mean, they absolutely want. This is why I think Marjorie Taylor Greene was talking about. They want us to be in a civil war. By creating this chaos, you get more control. You put more laws on the books. You take away our guns, you take away our freedoms. And it takes a. It takes a smart person like yourself to see that at a much higher level. And then, you know, then you're going to have the Dan Bongino types who are down here telling like, no, they should be knocking down every door and grabbing every illegal.
- [44:08]
B
And it's their fault.
- [44:09]
A
Yeah, it's their fault.
- [44:10]
B
Don't get in. Don't get it. Don't f around and find out. Yeah, that kind of thing.
- [44:14]
A
Yeah. All right.
- [44:15]
B
Our Constitution allows us to f around. We're allowed to have a gun. We can f around that way.
- [44:21]
E
Absolutely.
- [44:22]
B
Yeah. All right. Thank you so much. It was great to hear your perspective. Absolutely. Fantastic.
- [44:27]
E
Sure.
- [44:28]
A
Really appreciate it. And check out his YouTube channel as well. We'll have it linked up and make sure that people can check that out tonight with your interview. All right.
- [44:35]
B
Coming up, we're going to tell you about this massive military expansion. Guess what? Your tax money is going to Asia. We're going to build a new. We're calling it. What are we calling it? A chain of islands. An island chain and Islands in the Stream. That's not what it's called. I will get you the official name of what it's called in a minute. So stick around for that.
- [44:52]
A
First island chain. Yeah, the first island chain.
- [44:54]
B
It's not Islands in the Stream.
- [44:56]
A
No, it's not.
- [44:57]
B
That is what we are.
- [44:57]
A
It's not Kenny Rogers song.
- [44:59]
B
Okay.
- [45:00]
A
Okay. I need to do something here for our guest. Our next guest. Can you take care of this?
- [45:07]
B
Yeah. Well, hey, can I tell our friends. Friends over at. About Lear Capital, Can I do that instead of Ridge? How about I do that? I'm sorry, Philip, to throw you that curveball, but yes. Hey, you dudes. Silver and metal is gangbusters like we told you it would be. So I don't mean to tell you I told you so a little bit. I do. But, I mean, what is. Honey, what? Silver is what, 110? It was 115 this afternoon. I mean, I think at this time last year. Was it 50? We told you. Why we cover why all the time is because the US Dollar is perverted and continuously devalued with government spending and war funding. It's as simple as that. Gold is now. What is it? 4, 645, 5005? I mean, come on. Come on, right? But it's not too late to invest in gold. This is a way to leverage your money. It is. And invest. Yes. But also it's wealth preservation because again, the dollars worth less and less. Gold is not. It's a real thing. Our friends at Lear Capital like to teach people from soup to nuts about investing in precious metals. And they can teach you this from whatever standpoint you start from, whether you're a more experienced investor and you want to buy bullion, they can help you. If you're new and you don't understand the asset class, they can help you with that, too. If you got some money parked in an IRA and you'd like to invest that, they can help you if you've got some extra cash somewhere else. So let them teach you. And Let them look over your finances and help you. My favorite way to contact them is to call 800-613-3557. It is very informal. They will meet you where you are. Ask any question. No matter how simple it seems, they are ready for it. If you'd like to schedule a call or go and get more information first on your own, you can go to leoredacted.com and you'll get a free investor guide. You'll also receive up to $20,000 in free free bonus medals with qualified purchase. So again, go to learn. Or you can call them 613-800-613-3557.
- [47:07]
A
All right, all right. Okay. He's not in yet, so go ahead. Okay, but he'll be here any second.
- [47:13]
B
All right. What I want to tell you about is this massive government expansion that has just hit the. Just the Department of War now. We're not calling it the Department of Defense anymore. Where's my segment? Ah, here it is. Okay. Sorry. You guys moved it around. They moved my notes. You guys. They moved my notes.
- [47:31]
A
Sorry.
- [47:33]
B
For a second I was like, did you delete my.
- [47:35]
A
By the way, why the hell do they have this, like on Rumble? They've got like on the front page of Rumble, they've got this like Bonjino thing running. It's like an eight minute loop, like promoting Bongino. Like, okay, really? That's on the front page right now. Sorry, I'm just like, keep running this loop over and over again. All right.
- [47:53]
B
We find that disdainful, but okay. All right, here we go. Well, the US Military just admitted in writing that its job is no longer defense, it's dominance. I would call that maybe bullying. This is not a conspiracy theory. It's the 2026 military strategy. The United States now claiming that it can defend its prerogatives all over the hemisphere. If another country said that, we might call it imperialism. But when the US Says it, it's doctrine. This was laid out quite clearly in this document, the 2026 Military Strategy document. It has all kinds of plans, you know, for the Middle East, Europe, China, Africa. The part that struck me the most, though, was this. Take a look at this. This is the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. So we have the Monroe Doctrine, but now we have the Trump extension of it saying, yeah, we're going to protect our homeland, key terrain throughout the region. We are also deny adversaries ability to position forces or other threatening capabilities in the hemisphere that was existing in the Moreau Doctrine. Take a look at the last line, though, this Trump corollary is a common sense and potent restoration of American power and prerogatives in the Western Hemisphere consistent with American interest. So that's interesting. Like, what do you think the word prerogatives mean? I read it as our whim. Now, the document does go on to say someone else gets popular, someone else tries to do business here, someone else has, you know, any hegemony. That's when we get involved. That is not, as Bobby Brown says, my prerogative. So the Monroe Doctrine again was written to keep many military threats to the US out of the Northern hemisphere. But now the Trump administration is saying any foreign influence or power in our hemisphere. So if we sense that China is starting to gain economic power and info influence, Monroe Doctrine. Now, this is important to keep in mind as we see military expansion in Venezuela, Greenland, even Canada, Mexico, Cuba. This explicitly expands the Monroe Doctrine from we don't let others threaten us to, to we actively dominate the hemisphere to preserve American reputation, power and financial interest. Now, the document is meant to justify clearly the 900 trillion military budget. It's also full of military expansion. President Trump did say he was against that on the campaign trail, but it's happening. Look how we intend to surround China in their hemisphere. Can't do it to us, but we are going into them despite the Monroe Doctrine, that keeps them from doing that to us. This first island chain fic, what is that? It's new military installations in close proximity to China, including Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnamese, Vietnam, Malaysia, depending on journalist Michael Tracy puts it. He describes it depending on whatever the cockamamie grand strategist decide to theorize in war game next. So, yeah, we are building a string of military bases to counter China in and around that region. Can't do it here. Monroe Doctrine. We can do it there. We're doing it. We're doing it. Harry. This document is very light, though, on facing Russia. The Biden administration was all about pumping up war with Russia. The Trump administration's like, we're not really going to do that. That's Europe's problem. Here's how they put it, like they're good. You know, Europe's got this, we're going to stand down. This screen made me laugh. They say NATO can afford it. Basically they're saying they're going to step up, take care of their own military and look non US NATO countries. They've got the money, they're off you go. You're going to fight Russia on your own. Can you show the screen with a With the bar charts. Yes, that one. I think this is funny because non US NATO countries are basically European. All of their economies are based on debt. Yes, Russia does have a smaller economy than, say, Italy, but Russia's economy cannot be based on debt because they have international sanctions. So that $2 trillion, they actually make that. That's real money in an economy this big. Non US NATO countries, that's debt money. That's GDP financed by the European Union and an extremely volatile euro. So we're saying they're strong. They'll handle it. We know they're not. We know Europe does not have a strong economy, but we're like, basically patting them on the head and telling them to run along. This I find funny. It says the US Is ready to take military action in Africa if we need to. We're at the ready. Well, that's interesting, because take a look at. We've been up to in Africa for the last year. Record number of bombings in Somalia, which. Which is Africa. So if that's what ready looks like, I really would hate to see. See what action looks like.
- [52:50]
A
Yeah. Colonel McGregor would have something to say about that. Our readiness. We can't even. We can't even stop Houthis.
- [52:55]
B
Yes.
- [52:56]
A
Like on rubber boats.
- [52:58]
B
Africa. This is what that is saying. We're watching you. If we gotta do something, we're gonna do something. That's all. That's what they're saying.
- [53:06]
A
Can't even stop threats in the Suez Canal. But okay.
- [53:08]
B
Right, sure. Now, while this document is very heavy on making our allies pay for their own wars, Europe, you got to do it yourself. Pay up. Stand on your own two feet. There is one country that does not get that treatment in this military plan. Any guesses? Bueller. Bueller. Oh, it's Israel. Yeah. Oh, they are a model ally. Everyone else needs to pay up the Israel. No. Because they get limited support from the United States. Limited. You know, but according to this document, everyone else has to show themselves increasingly willing and able to defend themselves. But not Israel. They're the best friend a girl can have, despite the fact. Okay, model ally. Does a model ally imprison American citizens and then not give them back because Israel is doing that? We showed you this report from Harry Berger last week. Does a model ally take billions in a spending package to run our own government? We covered that last week. That the spending bill to narrative not shut down. The government has massive aid for Israel. Okay. Does. Does a model ally wage war in Lebanon and Syria and violate our ceasefires?
- [54:23]
E
That's just.
- [54:24]
B
I'm just curious. What. What is friendship? What does that mean?
- [54:27]
A
Noel? Yeah. Noel, in our chat says, Israel is no MFing ally.
- [54:32]
B
They're a model ally.
- [54:34]
A
They're a. They're a model ally.
- [54:35]
B
They're the best. It's like bff. B. Bff. You know, that's what it is. So, anyway, read over this document if you want a good laugh. It is definitely funny in its ignorance of foreign policy, but it's also tragic because this is now the military admitting that it is not just their job to protect and defend, but also keep global hegemony based on my prerogative. So the sky's the limit. In all fairness, it has always been this way. At least they're saying it now. Go ahead, Philip.
- [55:07]
A
Yeah, as I say, it sounds like sort of like the CIA. Like what the CIA was up to.
- [55:13]
E
In the 50s and the 60s, but.
- [55:14]
A
They'Re just, like, dialed it up to 11 and now they're just saying it out loud.
- [55:18]
B
Yes, they're like, exactly that. We do that. Like, you. You bully other people. You regime change. You take what's not yours.
- [55:28]
A
Yes, yes, yes, we do that. Yes, unapologetically. That's what we do, by the way. I mean, like, so we have a problem with China in our hemisphere now. Like, okay, what about all of the money that's being funneled into Canada through the. Through all of the fentanyl that's coming through the port of Vancouver into the United States? What about all of the farmland that's been purchased by the Chinese inside of the United States? It's interesting to me where they put their priorities on this.
- [55:57]
B
Right? It's because Venezuela wants to trade oil outside of the petrodollar. China. You can't do that. That's not our prerogative. We're going after that. Okay. Yeah.
- [56:10]
A
All right.
- [56:10]
B
I dare you to get my prerogative out of your head after that. Anytime you see that word. Right?
- [56:15]
C
Hey.
- [56:16]
A
Coming up, we're going to talk about Susie wiles. We're going to talk about the band of cohorts. She's really at the top of this. Why are there patriotic Americans, American heroes in many ways, who are still awaiting a pardon from the Trump administration? People like John Kiriakou or Tim Shea or, I don't know, Tina Peters, for crying out loud. Why are they being stonewalled and stopped from getting a presidential pardon?
- [56:42]
D
Ah.
- [56:43]
A
Does it have anything to do with Susie wilds and her Mary bound, her entourage there in the white House that she controls? People like Pam Bondi, people at The Department of Justice. We're going to unpack all of that in a second. But first I want to tell you about our friends at Ridge Wallet, because this is the only wallet that I use. I carry it every day. I absolutely love the darn thing. And I have to say, I also have one of the ones that has the airtag built in. So I got the little airtag attachment that goes in the side of it. It's rugged. It stays in my pocket. I don't have to worry about it. If it falls out, great. It's just going to bounce. It's going to be fine. I'm not worried about, about losing anything. This thing is as tough as they come. I love this thing. I've gone through so many wallets over the years and I said, that's it. I'm finally getting one that's not going to break on me. I had like a leather one that ripped and broke. I had some. Another one that I could shove an air tag in that broke finally. I bought the Ridge wallet a few years ago and I've never looked back. Never looked back. This thing is fantastic. So nice. You can pick from all sorts of different colors and, and, and, and just have fun with it. Go check it out on their website and see what they have, because I was going through their website the other day to see all of the different options. You can get like an American flag one. If you want your favorite sports team on one, you can get that. If you want to put your Philadelphia Phillies on there like, like I do, you can get that made. You can get all sorts of things. Just go look at their designs and pick one for yourself. You know, it's a great gift for somebody in your life as well. And you can get 10 off right now at checkout if you go to, to ridge.com redacted I'm telling you, just go check them out ridge.com redacted and see what you can do. Number of credit cards in there. You can even get the little band that holds some cash. Or you can do the clip version. I have the clip and I also have the airtag clip that goes on the side so in case I lose it, you know, in the house, which happens often, you'll hear a little beep, beep, beep. Where's my wallet? Oh, there it is. And I'm able to track it down and find it. So perfect. I love these guys. Ridge.com redacted Imagine if Theodore Roosevelt had a ridge in his shirt instead of his speech when you remember he Was shot in his speech. His speech was thick and he got shot. An assassin's bullet. And it actually stopped it. If he had a ridge wallet in there, would have probably bounced right back off in the guy's head.
- [58:55]
B
Ricochet.
- [58:56]
A
Ricochet. Yeah. A ridge cachet. All right, why are Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff staff, and her controlled entourage of attorneys at the DOJ getting in the way of some key pardons for patriarchal Americans? Pardons for people like Tina Peters. John Kiriakou, former CIA whistleblower, has been, you know, bullied and prosecuted by the Obama administration. Why are, like, the same people who are under the Obama administration still carrying out these, like, prosecutions? Weren't they all gone? Or are the same Biden era people, the Obama era people, still running the show, even inside of the Trump administration? What about Timothy Shea? Talk about him in a second for context. Susie Wiles is President Trump's White House chief of staff, the gatekeeper. If something is going to get in front of the president, if a pardon or commutation is going to move, it goes through the West Wing machinery that she runs. She is in charge. Look at the case of Timothy Shea. He was tied to the private we build the wall fundraising effort. There he is. He was indicted in 2020 alongside Steve Bannon and others. Bannon got a presidential pardon, but Shea did not. Shea went to trial and the first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury deadlocked. Then the prosecutors retried him and he was convicted, sentenced to 63 months in federal prison. Shays supporters say this was totally weaponized. They point to alleged irregularities, misconduct in the whole prosecution process, and they're asking why, a full year into Trump's being back in office, he's still behind bars. Could you look directly at Susie Wiles, Todd Blanche, Pam Bondi, other members in DOJ that are stonewalling all of this? Journalist Noel Frisch has been writing about this and doing great research on this, and he's been all over this story, and he joins us now. No. Great to have you back on the show.
- [60:54]
D
Hey, thanks for having me, Clayton.
- [60:55]
A
Now I'm picking on Susie Wiles here. Is that where it starts? Is that at the top of the food chain?
- [61:00]
D
Yeah, I think with. Without a doubt. And if you'll note. And thanks for having me back, Clayton. You guys are doing great work. You couldn't have picked a better name a couple years ago for your show. 3, 4. How many years has it been now for redacted? Yeah. With this Epstein debacle that we've now seen. And that's who we have to blame here is Pam Bondi, Todd Blanch and Susie Wiles. And if you'll notice, the last time I was with you guys, we were talking about Susie Wiles is really big media push over the last about week or 10 days. They've clearly had a plan to really put Todd Blanche on the offensive as like the. The, you know, alpha jaw. Alpha jaw, lock jaw, like, strong guy who's going to clean up everything, you know, over in Minnesota that's going to fail. The military has already been. Everybody's already been pulled out of Minnesota. That's happening right now today. Clayton. So they've had this huge push to try to make. Create another story, to essentially pretend that they're doing something. Meanwhile, there's all kinds of other nefariousness going on, not least of which, of course, is what you just mentioned, folks like Tim Shea. And we've been in contact and we've got some. Some coverage coming with his son, Jet Shea, who's now in college. And of course, Brian Kolfage. That whole we build the wall thing. You. You referred to that prosecution, those indictments that happened, if everybody remembers, it was August 20th of 2020, just a couple of months ahead of that famous November 3rd stolen election. Obviously political. And just full disclosure, I was actually a part of that project. I was helping those guys, you know, track down the funds to build. There was a wall built that was not a fraud. I'm here to tell you right now, as far as nonprofits, if we want to talk about nonprofits, let's open up all the books on all the non profits. They were building a wall. Tim Shea was, you know, far from the top of that organization, and he's the last guy standing kind of, you know, still in prison. And, And. And Jet is going to be producing some content to. We got to get this guy home to his family. He's got, you know, young kids that are going through middle school and high school still. It's a travesty that what we're looking at here a year into this second term, that somebody like Tim Shea is still in prison.
- [63:18]
A
So let's talk about the pardon process here. And why do you think it's being stonewalled? So we got Susie Wild, Todd Blanche, Pam Bondi. Like, this should be, by all accounts, this should be under the Trump administration. Open and shut. Get these guys a pardon and move on. Tina Peters, John Kiriakou, also get these guys pardons.
- [63:37]
D
But big, big fan of Tina Peters. Big fan of John Kiriakou and I personally know the Shays. They are top tier American patriots who are trying to protect their country and doing everything they could to literally build the border wall to protect Americans. Something like 5,000 people die every year, you know, because of illegal immigrants, illegal aliens, I should say. And so. Well, why is it happening? It was happening because the Trump DOJ doesn't want to prioritize these people. There are many other bad crimes going on too. Basically with Pam Bondi, you have essentially Pam Bondi and the doj and Todd Blanche adopting the biden posture toward all of the J6ers as well. Clayton. And so really, how does this happen? You honestly, you gotta. You gotta really look at personnel is policy. You have so many biden holdovers still. Inside of the doj, there's somebody called Jolene Ann Laria l a u r I a. She's in charge of all the funding of everything. She's making sure that, you know, stuff gets funded that needs to get funded, that they want the deep state and the swamp wants funded and other stuff doesn't happen. This is something they regularly do in republican politics is they'll hire like young staffers who. And they'll basically make their bones for them. So in that older, you know, 40s and 50s and 60s, whatever year old person, you know, mid to late career senior staff person hires you, you owe them the rest of your life. You would not have made it without them. They're hiring lots of those kinds of people at the doj. And we know who they're. We know their names, we know who they are. And what it's done is it's created this culture of basically anti maga, anti America first inside of the department of justice. And I have a couple big headlines here just, just related to this story alone, Clayton, that I can really break with you here on air. Nobody's talking about this really openly. Number one, Todd Blanche is essentially, everybody's wondering like, why is the DOJ so worthless? Why is bongino so worthless? Why Bangina? Why? That's what I call him, Bangina. Why are they so worthless? They're so worthless because what's happening is Todd Blanche is essentially holding the sword of Damocles over the heads of everybody at the white House and everybody in the senate saying the last thing you want to do is go through a contentious, a contentious confirmation process with somebody that's going to be America first because Epstein is going to be the issue of the day. And you know, you guys put it's my prerogative. In my head, everybody's talking all this stuff about me. Why don't they just let me live? Americans prerogative. I'm from Durham, okay? And nobody knows Durham, but I know Durham. Americans prerogative is to prosecute.
- [66:20]
A
Yes.
- [66:21]
D
For Epstein, the influence operation. That's our prerogative. That's what we expressed back in 2024. That's what we want, okay? So let's get it done. But Todd Blanche is saying, no, you don't want that. And so that's the person that Susie Wiles has put in place. She, she picked him. She wanted him to be the Attorney general. Obviously. She picked like a. You remember Star Search when they'd have the spokes model contest? That's who Pam Bondi is. Pam Bondi is the Star Search Attorney General. Right. Remember that lady from South Carolina that she went super viral. She went like Miss South Carolina and she couldn't say she had a minute of fame. And she's like, such as that were. And she, she liked her words like 19 times. That's what we have for our attorney general.
- [67:07]
A
So, and so Matt Gaetz, I mean, she, she. Are you saying that Susie Wiles was directly responsible for torpedoing Matt Gaetz?
- [67:15]
D
So I have this from several well placed staffers inside of doj and many, many people there are very frustrated with what's going on. And absolutely, yes, Gates would have been just one of those kinds of confirmation processes that would have been extremely controversial. And you'll notice that there was zero confirmation. Like Lindsey Graham was, was standing up next to Pam Bondi saying, yeah, I can't wait to have Pam Bond. Okay, red flag. When Lindsey Graham stands next to you and says, go, Pam. Okay, red flag. And so that's the big story here is that Todd Blanche is holding the Senate hostage and Todd Blanche is holding the White House hostage, threatening all of the Epstein stuff, becoming a top issue. And so that's the number one. And there's all kinds of other stuff. You know, like I said, she's adopted the Biden posture toward all of the J6ers. You have literal war heroes. One guy that we didn't mention is Brian Kolfage at the we build a wall. The most injured veteran. US Veteran. Okay. He's missing two legs and like most of an arm. Okay. The guy is, is, you know, got a, you know, bracelet on his arm and, you know, he can't function. And they put him at home finally, but he's still under home arrest.
- [68:30]
A
Meanwhile, they've got a Tracking. They've got a tracking thing on his one good arm. The guy has no legs and one missing an arm.
- [68:36]
C
Chair.
- [68:37]
D
Yep, yep, yep. And meanwhile, we're the doj, and we don't need to get into the specifics, but trust me, all this DOJ is. And the pardon process is pardoning all kinds of fraudsters. And I would note none of the fraud stuff is going to come to pass with Letitia James. None of the fraud stuff is going to come to pass with Schiff. They're covering it all up. So if you're a fraudster, bondies and blanches. DOJ loves you, okay? And they're going to produce lots of content for Fox news to pretend like they're doing something, but rest assured, they are not. And people like Tim Shea, people like Brian Kofarge and Kiriakou, like you mentioned, and Tina Peters are languishing.
- [69:16]
A
It's unbelievable. I mean, they're literally in prison right now fighting for Tina Peters. Specifically. Think about what she did, right? Exposing the rigged election, the lengths she went to for Trump, and she's sitting in prison right now. It's unbelievable. So these people are torpedoing any release of the Epstein files inside of the Trump doj. And of course, then you get people like Cash Patel and Dan Bongino who are doing their whole media tour right now. Dan Bongino pushing for his big, you know, come back on February 2nd to tell every. All the black pillars out there that you're. You're destroying America. But we're getting things done. I mean, is that actually. Actually true inside the doj? They're getting things done.
- [70:00]
D
Yeah, it's clear they're not. And. And Cash doesn't even understand, you know, the. The second amendment, evidently. And so the. The whole DOJ FBI is a debacle, as evidenced by Bongina's exit, early exit. He just quit. He's a quitter and he couldn't get it done. He's not serious enough or strong enough or tough enough to hang tight and actually try to get some work done. So that you got to ask the question, what do they have on Bongina? They've got to have something on that guy. I don't know if it's like, who knows? Who knows what it could be? Is it addictions? Is it how he treats the ladies? Who knows what it could possibly be? They got something on him, and that's why he quit, and that's why he walked away, and that's why he's carrying all their BS talking points as if the People who want to manifest the prerogative that we expressed with the 2024 election are somehow illegitimate. It's insulting. The gaslighting is turned up to 11. OK, where is Tim Shea now?
- [70:59]
A
Where's Tim Shea right now? Is he.
- [71:00]
D
He's in a federal, federal facility.
- [71:02]
A
He's still in a federal facility. He's been there for like two years now at this point. That's correct, yeah.
- [71:06]
D
63 total months of service time he's got to serve. And you know, the guy, he's missed a huge chunk of his kids growing up. And you know, Tim Shea was a guy again who was, he was the glue guy behind getting just a lot of stuff done logistics wise to build the wall. There's all kinds of photos of this wall. It's a real wall. Of course, the mainstream media gaslit the country into believing that there's somehow fraud involved. But you know, the old Ron Paul placard that he had on his desk, you know, don't steal. The government hates competition. You know, they really do hate competition. You can't on private land with, you know, voluntary engagement with landowners who say, yes, I would like to build a wall on my property to keep it safe because the government is not doing its job. I got to say this, Trump's DOJ was in charge on in August of 2020 when all those people were rolled up by the SDNY and like there's some like postal service that for some reason the postal service has firearms and they're, and they're doing these no knock, you know, sick 5am raids on people's houses. The Trump folks were in charge when that happened. And guess who else was in charge on January 6th. The Trump DOJ was in charge on in January 6th of 2021.
- [72:18]
A
Yeah, great point.
- [72:18]
D
That's who was in charge when they started arresting people on January 8th of 2021. And so I think we have to just look, everybody, maga, everybody, America first has to take a deep breath and say, look, I'm glad we got Trump to preserve some semblance of some normalcy here. But we have to hold this administration accountable and we have to push for a full measure of justice and rule of law here on U.S. soil.
- [72:42]
A
Yeah. And we gotta get the rot out of the DOJ and the FBI. As friend of the show Kyle Seraphin has pointed out and Steve Friend have pointed out, the rot is, is still deep inside of these institutions. It's time that we got to kick these people out of there. Noel, thank you so much for your great work. People can read more about it at the national file. You've been doing great work on this and yeah, let's get these pardons. Tina Peters, John Kiriakou Kolfash, Tim Shea. Let's move it. Let's move it. Noel, thanks for joining us. Great to see you again as always. Thank you all. I appreciate it.
- [73:13]
B
Gosh, he was great. One of the things that I hear liberals say the most is they hate January 6ers. They hate them. Right. Liberals. And you can come back at them like, well, the Trump administration is doing what you want and is keeping them tortured. So why do you think that is?
- [73:30]
A
Yeah, you should love the Trump administration then, because so many of the Obama Biden era people are still in charge. They're running the show at a lot of these places. They're stonewalling, getting in the way, or they're taking kickbacks in money in other ways. Susie Wiles, like, give me a break. Worked for Netanyahu.
- [73:44]
B
