Natalie
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? Get uncomfortable.
And welcome in everyone to Redacted on this Thursday from the snowy Rocky Mountains. Right now, digging out from our big snowstorm. Welcome in everyone. Hey, we have a very busy show for you on this Thursday. The pipe bomber arrested perhaps, or not at all. Is this totally a fake news story and an FBI cover up continues about this. We've got a lot of questions about an individual who has just been arrested early this morning in Woodbridge, Virginia.
Yeah, this thing probably doesn't pass the smell test, but of course, Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi, all of them were out there in holding their big press conference today. So we're going to talk about that coming up here in just moments.
Clayton Morris
We're also going to talk about leaked calls out of Europe showing how European leaders are undermining President Trump's efforts to bring a peace plan to Ukraine. Shocker. I know. We're also going to talk to Lara Logan, who has asserted that there is a coup in the deep state in the Trump administration. So we're going talk about. She's always got the best intel sources. What does she know? Is this actually something that is thwarting the Trump agenda, which is not played out as it was promised from the campaign? And finally, 1,000 Christian pastors are headed to Israel this week. They're there right now for a programming summit about how to teach Christianity through the lens of support for a foreign government, which I don't know if you know this, Clayton, but the Bible specifically forbids, oh, any loyalty to a foreign government. And so how is this happening?
Natalie
We always have carve outs, though. It's no problem.
Clayton Morris
Is there a carve out in the Bible?
Natalie
Apparently. We're just gonna add one.
Clayton Morris
Interesting.
Natalie
Like, hey, you know, I want to create my own Bible, update it. Scofield Bible. Just create a new one. Yeah, they updated it. Somebody's gonna come along. There's gonna be a whole new section.
Clayton Morris
These are the Cliff's Notes.
Natalie
Yeah, exactly.
Clayton Morris
The Cliff's Notes. Now, I have something else to say. This. We're not planned. We're not gonna make this a big part of the agenda. But I am very interested in the conservative discourse right now on X, because I think people, you know, we f. Independence and anti war thinkers. That is our number one agenda here on this show. But conservatives, specifically MAGA conservatives, they have been fighting this notion that they are sexist and racist and whatnot. No, conservatives are not that. That's what liberals think of them. But then watch how they respond to Candace Owens, who all she is doing is asking questions around the circumstance of her friend Charlie Kirk's death. And all of a sudden as the language of racist and sexist. Do you not see this? I can't get over this, watching this play out online. She's crazy. She's hysterical. She's now a Karen. Right. Which you know how I feel about that term. I think it's a. Just. What do you think of this? This idea that, like, oh, no, they're totally accepting People. But Candace Owens, she specifically is crazy.
Well, I didn't prepare you for this, but I'm watching this.
Natalie
I mean, I don't like it. What do you want me to say? I. I don't know. I don't like the attacks on her.
Unfounded attacks on her. But I mean, I don't know about the sexist stuff. I mean, I haven't been watching that.
Clayton Morris
I feel like a lot of it comes out in the language that they are, you know, that they have said that they reject this sort of sexist. No, she's just a crazy woman. She's hysterical. She's. So anyway, I think that we will continue to talk about this more, but it's, it's the personal attacks that I'm so surprised by.
Natalie
Go ahead, David.
Kyle Seraphin
I was just gonna say I thought the whole like Republican thing was against identity politics, period.
Clayton Morris
Right.
Kyle Seraphin
The left did. Like, this is not supposed to be this side.
Clayton Morris
Yeah, I, I'm. That's exactly what's confusing me. So let's put a pin in that. If you want to have a conversation about that on X, go ahead. Although I sort of rang in on this Turning Points announcement that they're going to have a debate and I was like, they're making themselves out to be the victim of her questions. That's weird. It plays to me like kind of a snively dorky liberal victim making. I don't understand it. The comments that came at me. And again, I thought Turning Points was a conservative Christian group calling me the B word. The C word. F off.
I got that as well.
Natalie
Why did you say the R word? You're allowed to say that, though.
Clayton Morris
I didn't. I said.
Natalie
I know, but you said the C word. The B word. And then.
Clayton Morris
Oh, and then I said it again. I, I meant the F word.
Father Turbo Quals
Yeah.
Clayton Morris
Okay. So anyhow, I just would like to have a conversation about that some other time. It's not on our agenda, but I'm curious about it, how it's playing. This online discourse.
Kyle Seraphin
Was your first thought, like my first thought when she said that or when they invited her, I was like, I wouldn't go there in person.
Clayton Morris
I would go in person.
Kyle Seraphin
Absolutely not.
Laura Logan
Yeah.
Clayton Morris
And don't let them Mike you.
Rocket Money Announcer
Yeah.
Kyle Seraphin
No courtyard. Don't do in a college courtyard.
Clayton Morris
Right.
Natalie
Jen? Jenny says I'm disappointed with her.
Kyle Seraphin
Okay.
Clayton Morris
That is a fine thing to say. It's not about her as a hysterical black woman. Right. And so. Okay, then let's engage on the content. What specifically about her questions is upsetting you without becoming personal. Although I did. I guess I just came became personal. I called them dorky and snively.
Rumble Premium Announcer
Yeah.
Clayton Morris
So. Okay, I shouldn't play that game. I'm lecturing myself. Let's move on.
Kyle Seraphin
We have personal because you're saying it about an organization, not an individual.
Clayton Morris
I'm saying the individuals that run it are dorky and snivel.
Rumble Premium Announcer
Okay.
Kyle Seraphin
I don't think we should just backtrack. She just backtracked from the backtrack. Yeah.
Clayton Morris
Don't give me a pass. I did it. I made a personal attack. So anyhow. All right, let's move in. Move on. Before we get to the news, Clayton wants to tell you about our friends over at Bearskin because he has been shoveling snow in his bare skin all week.
Natalie
Yes. Not in my bare. Not with my bare ass, but in my bare skin. Been wearing my bare skin hoodie all the time. You guys know about the Bearskin hoodie, right? Well, if you've been waiting to get yourself one, now is the time. It's officially hoodie season. Cold mornings, windy days, surprise snow. Right now, we're digging out of a snowstorm. I wore it yesterday with the snow plow. Yesterday, I was wearing it all evening. My son had his on. He was out sledding with his friends. And so Bearskin is running their biggest deal of the year. We're talking 60% off right now. This is not some old fleece. This thing is built with 340gsm bearskin fleece, 10 pockets. It's a rugged, athletic that looks good on you. Plus, if it starts pouring, you can zip into your heavy rainstorm jacket and instantly level up to full waterproof protection. You'll get free US shipping from their US Warehouse. Gear that'll last you season after season. So here's what you need to do right now to get 60% off. Just text the word redacted to 36912. Again, that's redacted to 36912. And they'll text you a link so you can lock in your 60% off before the sale disappears. Don't wait till the weather gets really bad. Grab a bearskin now while this Black Friday deal is live.

You're back in a great cause that matters. Grab your bearskin while the steel is active. 60% off. Text the word redacted to 369-12.
Clayton Morris
Clayton was the envy of the neighborhood yesterday in his bear skin. And he has a brand new snowplower.
Natalie
Yeah.
Clayton Morris
All the young boys were like, look at that guy. He was like, you know, it was impressive.
Natalie
All your tech women probably don't understand this, but for men. Yes, exactly.
Clayton Morris
No, I didn't understand it at all. But my teenage boy came in and was like, wow. The neighbor and I were looking at daddy and his high powered snowblower. Like, look, he's got all the good stuff I've done.
Natalie
Right. Exactly.
Kyle Seraphin
It's like Costner and Yellowstone.
Rumble Premium Announcer
Yeah.
Natalie
Except our next guest, his office totally Trump's mind with his like guns all over his wall like you. And an entire gun locker like a, like a gun locker that slides out from underneath his bed. Like it's like Iron man there. So he's got me beaten. We're going to get to our next guest in a second.
Clayton Morris
He doesn't need a snowblower. He's in Florida.
Natalie
No, he's in. Yeah, he's in Texas. He is.
Clayton Morris
Oh, I thought he's.
Natalie
He just has a lot of guns. All right. Hey. Well, it only took five years, but a suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb story has finally been arrested. Officials with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, you know, the most transparent FBI in history. We're so back, baby. They told Fox News that they arrested the suspect early Thursday morning. Fox News says the suspect is a man by the name of 30. He's 30 year old Brian Cole Jr. This is the house, by the way. Lovely house. Lots of nice acreage there right outside of D.C. and Woodbridge, Virginia. By the way, the average sales price of homes in that area looked up about $700,000. So nice home for a pipe bomber or a pipe bomber suspect.
Clayton Morris
It's a good business to me.
Natalie
Yeah, it's a good business. I guess it pays really well. Be in the pipe bomb business. Early this morning they surrounded this house in Woodbridge, Virginia. And of course the pipe bombs were placed near the Republican National Committee's headquarters and the Democratic national committee's headquarters. About 16 hours before authorities located them, the FBI, the DOJ, got together in front of the cameras. Cuz they love the cameras. And they wanted to talk about how tirelessly they've been working on this story. Watch.
Kyle Seraphin
When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's capital, you attack the very being of our way of life. And this FBI and this Department of Justice stand here to tell you that we will always refute it and combat it. We will provide the safest country the nation has ever seen under President Trump's leadership here. And that's what we did here today with great resolve on a case of massive public importance, as it should be. An individual who is now alleged to have placed multiple explosive devices to blow up multiple people and multiple officials, innocent civilians, is now arrested thanks to the brave men and women of the FBI and the interagency.
Natalie
All right, our next guest worked on this case while he worked at the FBI and in the Washington field office. Specifically. He says this is a cover up, plain and simple. Take a look at his most recent tweet here. This is from Kyle Seraph, and he tweeted, sorry, none of this is legit. I have videos of this man playing with his puppies five years ago. He has a rock solid alibi. The gate analysis is also not real. The story is fake news. Oh, okay. So what the hell is going on here? Let's ask FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin hosted the Kyle Seraphin show, who worked directly on this case. And arguably no one has more knowledge of this than you, Kyle. Welcome back to the show. Great to see you.
Kyle Seraphin
Good to see you guys. I just wanted to say that I worked on this case because it was very important to the being of our way of life in this nation, Whatever that means.
Clayton Morris
Okay.
Kyle Seraphin
There was a lot of notice that. When have you ever noticed that when Patel and even Bondi does the same thing, they get out there and they talk. It occurred to me the other day. You ever watch professional wrestling?
Natalie
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Kyle Seraphin
You ever noticed that the professional wrestlers, they're always out of breath when they're giving their, like, their hype statement. Like, let me tell you, like, this is the thing that's going on. Cash does the same thing. He's always like, breathless and so is Pambani. They're like, we're good. They breathe at awkward places because they're so excited about telling you, like, whatever hype thing they have. That. That was the most embarrassing press conference. There was no information in it. Literally none of that would have been of interest. Well, how did you find this guy?
Natalie
Right? I mean, so let's maybe we go through the complaint, then the criminal complaints. I read the full criminal complaint. I'm sure you did as well. So it's on my screen. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. There's no. So there was no mention of. Well, how did this guy put all of this together? There was no mention of.
Buying of materials, which is in the criminal complaint. There's no mention of him being in Washington D.C. on that particular evening during this press conference. But it's in this criminal complaint, is it not? Can you walk us through what they are saying? Yeah.
Kyle Seraphin
So it sounds like an agent who should be competent, but started with the FBI in 2009. Kind of interesting. They redacted the name of the agent, which is not common, but it has been a thing for January 6th cases. Just so people understand criminal complaints are public and they are filed on pacer. And so you should be able to look up who's the FBI agent that is alleging that I did this thing. It's also interesting that it's a criminal complaint in and of itself, generally speaking. And we've had a lot of time for this particular case. The FBI takes their cases to a grand jury. There are two ways that you get an arrest warrant. One of them is by indictment, which is what people are familiar with. You go in front of a grand jury as an FBI agent, you sit there, the, the assistant United States Attorney will ask you question that the prosecutor, you give them the story and the, the reason that you believe there's probable cause to believe that somebody committed a federal crime and what the elements of the crime look like. And then they can ask questions. The grand jury cat, they can. The foreman and other people that are sitting out there in the, in the seats can, can ask questions specifically and you answer to the best your knowledge. And then you leave. And then they vote. They vote whether or not to give you what's called a true bill, which means you get an indictment, or they give no bill, which means that they don't think there's probable cause to believe the person did it. So that's how you get a little bit of a layer of protection with if you want an automatic arrest warrant, which is what they did for the J6ers. And I would argue they did it in a weaponized format because that's not the way the FBI does business. They sent you send a, a complaint over to a judge, a magistrate judge, who's the lowest level federal judge, and they evaluate your complaint and they decide whether it meets the burden of probable cause or not. And they're very, very squishy towards the FBI in general. You don't necessarily have to always have it all the way there. It's not like a pop movie where you've seen where they're like, come back with some more PC or whatever. They don't generally do that. They give you a lot of benefit of the doubt for being in the FBI, then you raise your hand, you swear that it's true and complete, and then you go get an arrest warrant right then. So nobody else looks over it. In our system, theoretically, the criminal complaint should be a judge being very skeptical because they're the last line between law enforcement kicking down your door and that's it. There's no. There's no other parties involved. It's ex parte and there's no other. Even like, you know, members of a grand jury where you can still blow a lot of snow at them and, and kind of COVID them up and make them. Make them believe whatever you want, but at least they have like, you know, a handful of minds there. It's just one judge, and he should be more scrupulous. This is a very thin complaint. Very thin, I think. Nothing against the guy who wrote it. I don't know why he wrote it this way. But what it gives you is the story of January six in the background. I'm going to refer to it because it's on my screen right here. They got details wrong right away, which I don't know why. It's really easy to prove. But the original pipe bomb, the first one that was found outside of the RNC was at 12:43pm on January 6th. And they say approximately 1pm which is weird because then they go on and say the other one was found at approximately 1:15 and it was found at 105. So the timeline is not even right in their background statement. I don't know why they did that. It could be just laziness. It is the FBI. I don't know, but I read some of these things and I just go, okay, well, they give a little bit of background on the day of January 6, the fact that they were in fact pipe bombs that were discovered and what they were composed of. And then they go on and they say that they observe someone called person of interest 1 who's the person you've seen on the screen on. That's walking around with the pipe bomb and so on and give kind of the approximate time, time that the person traveled around Washington D.C. and carried that backpack and apparently put place these pipe bombs. And then they give this. What do they call it? There's a name for it. Photograph photemigree examination or photogrammetry.
Natalie
Yeah, photogrammetry.
Kyle Seraphin
The reverse projection photogrammetry examination, which said that this person was 5 foot 7 plus or minus 1.1 inches. Okay. And then they go and identify the guy. And rather than saying anything about his ideology, his work History, his friend group, where he grew up and why he was this way. They just say, Brian J. Cole Jr. Is 30 years old. He's from Woodbridge, Virginia. He's 5 foot 6 and he wears glasses and he lives in a house and he has a mom and family members and he works in a bail bonds thing like nothing. And when I'm telling you, it's thin. I went and pulled other cases. It's very interesting the way they charge this.
Clayton Morris
They charge right there. Let's go ahead before you expand on this, because the government has said, well, there's no new evidence. We didn't have any help from anyone before. We just sort of furthered this case. The Biden administration, I guess what they're indicating is they dropped the ball. We picked it up and we finished it and we brought it home. That seems weird. Just like they picked it up off the floor and then they found this guy. Can you respond to that bit when you're talking about how he was identified?
Kyle Seraphin
Right. So all the stuff that they're identifying as far as the information and running down the types of leads and the. And so they went through to like Home Depot receipts and credit cards and so on and so forth and who bought what, that was identified by Barry Loudermilk's committee in January of 2025 this year on the four year update on the pipe bomb case. And so they had all this information, theoretically, and they've been apparently going through it and have been for literally years. So why did it take nine more months after the new administration came in? Assuming that the previous FBI and, and this FBI are different, which I don't, I don't think they're different. And to say that the previous FBI was covering it up, but the new FBI cares about the truth, which I don't think is true. If that was the case, then why was it nine more months? I was talking to one of my buddies, I was like, what do you think? Well, like plus or minus, how long does it take you to run through some of this information? They're like a couple of weeks. If you've already got all the background research done, there's a reason why the FBI was able to come up with persons of interest and why they were of interest when we were out there doing surveillance at the time.
Natalie
Do you think that this is another Richard Jewell situation? I mean, for those of our viewers who might not be remember Richard Jewell, of course, during the Olympics in Atlanta, Young guy at the time.
Saw a suspicious package in Centennial Square, Centennial Park. There at the Olympics and cleared everyone out. Reporter names him. FBI rounds him up, names him as a primary suspect in placing this bomb. Turns out he was a hero and ruined his life. He died at 44 years old. Heart failure. I wonder why he died so young, right? I can only imagine your whole life is ruined. Janet Reno never apologized. The FBI never apologized. They cleared him, but they never apologized for ruining his life. Do you think that.
Kyle Seraphin
Yeah, they never. They never did. Well, and the similar story to that is that there was a. There's a lot of political pressure at that time. That's why they had to come up with a suspect. They needed to show that something was being done. We used to joke that my surveillance team was. That was the do something button. So that if they were like, oh my God, like, this thing happened, what do we do? Like, b. They'd hit the button and the claxton would go off at the hangar where we worked. And then we would all, like, rush out to the cars and do surveillance on somebody for no particular reason. And like, I'm not.
Clayton Morris
I'm not even exaggerating from spaceballs.
Kyle Seraphin
I've sat in a car freezing my butt off in the middle of a government shutdown when the rest of the government wasn't working because of a snow day in northern Virginia, like, doing quote, unquote, something. Watching a potential terrorist. And it turned out that he was like an Afghan translator, But it wasn't even the right translator. We were just watching a translator, but not the translator that they were worried about. And it was because they wanted to be able to articulate they did something. So the FBI does something all the time. And I used to be on the team that would respond to do that. And it didn't really hurt anybody's feelings if we were watching them, because you never know we were there. But if you go and arrest somebody because you're trying to do something, that's really nerve wracking. Let me hit the high points of this complaint, if you guys are okay with it. Because essentially what they did is they ran down the construction materials, but not all of them that were resulting in what they believe was the. The manufacturing of this pipe bomb. But it doesn't even pass, like, the basic smell test to me. Look, I. They didn't put everything they've got, and maybe they'll come forward with more information. So I'm open to being wrong in the future. But the claim is, is that starting in 2019, this guy started slowly accumulating materials to be able to build what would eventually be the two pipe bombs. And based on what they've said he, he accumulated, he would have been able to build more of them. And he was so thorough in his, his diabolical plan for this two year build of the pipe bombs that would eventually be left outside of the DNC and the RNC that he used his credit card when he did it sometimes, but when he used cash, they were also able to track it. So I assume he used like a, like an E rewards card or something. So he got points and he did it by buying things that people buy all the time. Remember we're talking about 2019, 2020, how many home renovations were going on during that time, how many people were not able to go to regular work? And so they were doing, you know, they became do it yourself experts. I knew a bunch of people that were involved in that. And I don't know if that was the same in the bail bond work that he was in. But his, his major crime here is that 2019, 2020, over a period of two straight years, he accumulated six 1 inch by 8 inch long galvanized pipes and 12 end caps and a couple of 9 volt battery connectors with some red wires. And they were 14 gauge wires. And he bought 14 gauge wires at two locations, Home Depots and Lowe's. I mean, he also apparently this one's really fun. Both pipe bombs were manufactured using white kitchen style timers. Cole purchased two white kitchen timers from a Walmart in Northern Virginia in July of 2020. That would have been seven months before the bombs were dropped. And they don't claim that they're the same white timers. They just said that he bought two white timers and two white timers were used. But were they the same white timers? That seems kind of relevant. So this guy is a criminal mastermind who spends time spacing out the bomb making components over a period of years. But what's his ideology and what drove him to do this and what argument have they made that even connected him? Then you go on and you read further. His bomb making equipment included safety glasses and a, and a wire stripper. Like everything on this list or literally everything on this list is in my garage. And so I also apparently have this equipment. He has a machinist file. Like I've got a drawer full of machinist files. I had no idea that I also was accumulating bomb making equipment. And I'll be, I'd be shocked if some of them were not purchased during this time frame.
Natalie
I'm sure I'm sure you're on a list. Let's just. Let's put it.
Kyle Seraphin
Let's just put it on. I'm also. I'm also five, eight, so, like, I'm roughly in the same height category of this guy. And I live the Northern Virginia. Like, am.
Clayton Morris
I was going to break things on redacted.
Natalie
So all along we figured that. Now we know. Yeah, we're looking at Richard Jewel right to. Right in our faces. But let's go back to.
Kyle Seraphin
Here's the crazy thing, too.
Natalie
Go ahead.
Kyle Seraphin
You know what they don't have? They don't say anything about the actual part of the bomb that matters. The bomb part of the bomb. There's no indication here that they found that he had bought the explosive, the black powder, whether he'd been part of, you know, bought any of the. The Ammonium or any of the other stuff. So where's that? Because that seems like the most relevant part of the bomb is the part that explodes to me. Call me crazy.
Natalie
Where's the Capitol Hill police section of all of this? I mean, a lot of people saying this doesn't pass the smell test. Your tweet. And let's put your tweet back up here again on the screen. Sorry, none of this is legit. I have videos of this man playing with puppies five years ago. He is a rock star.
Kyle Seraphin
Yeah, that's a joke.
Natalie
Obviously, that's a joke. Yeah. But you're saying that this is fake like that. This is not. They've got the wrong person here. Where is the capital head?
Kyle Seraphin
That entire. Yeah, that whole. That whole post is sarcasm because ABC News identified that this guy was noted for having a particular gate. And I was told in no uncertain terms that gate analysis is not real, except that it is, and we drone strike people for it. So there's that. The joke is, is that they cleared a Capitol Police officer because apparently not the FBI, but CBS News witnessed people who are familiar with the matter, whoever they are, maybe her mom and lawyer and her playing with puppies, plural, even though she only has one dog. And it's not a puppy. It's an old retired greyhound. So we got this one story where a very credible allegation came forward from my friend Steve Baker. Full disclosure, we are friends. I do believe that what he said is correct because he's been doing this really aggressively. And if I had to choose between a guy who was arrested by the FBI for being a journalist and the FBI which arrested him, I choose my friend Steve is more likely to have a Pure motive. Like, he doesn't have anything to win by getting the wrong person. He just doesn't. He just followed the leads, and the leads put him one door away from somebody that we were watching at the time a week and a half, two weeks after January 6th. And that seemed like an astronomically bizarre coincidence. We did the numbers. It's like 2.4 million households. To pick two of them at random and then be next door to each other is. It's, it's, it's insane. There's like. I think it's like 5.7 trillion to one that you would pick two houses next door to each other in Northern Virginia and D.C. so for whatever that's worth. So that's part one of it. And then the second thing is, is like, how do we get away from the Capitol Police involvement? There has to be some involvement from Capitol Police, number one. Everybody who's been part of it, including the guys who run the FBI now, all said this was an inside job. I believe them because it has all the hallmarks of something that had government cover up. We know for a fact that the Capitol Police refused to make themselves available to the J6 committees that are going on, including the new one. They are being excluded from any interviews or witness lists. They will not be. They will not be deposed. They will not be questioned in any meaningful way. And two Capitol Police officers from the Counter Surveillance team exited their vehicle after the first bomb was found and went looking for any bombs in the Capitol region or in the Capitol Hill area. And they went to the exact place the person in the hoodie went the night before first and got there in like, seven minutes and then found the actual bomb.
In under 11 minutes and seven seconds. Imagine leaving your car looking for bombs anywhere in Washington, D.C. and anyone who's ever been to D.C. there's bushes everywhere. There's buildings all over the place. You walk around immediately and in under, what, 11 minutes and a half. 11 and a half minutes. Under 12 minutes, you're right at where the only bomb was. And then they quit. Then they were like, that's it. The bombs are done. Even this affidavit doesn't seem to allege that. They claim that there's, like, six tubes. So where are the other bombs? Why has someone not been feverishly looking for them? Why are members of Congress willing to go to work every single day knowing that some crazy, wild dude is out there who drops pipe bombs indiscriminately in Washington, D.C. and has never been caught? Would you want to go to work if you knew that somebody was throwing down bombs or did you know that there was never going to be any more bombs? And that seems to be the story to me.
Clayton Morris
What is politically useful about having some kind of solution to this right now for the Justice Department?
Kyle Seraphin
All right, you want. You want the FBI rumor mill stuff?
Clayton Morris
Yeah, I do. I want it.
Kyle Seraphin
Buddy of mine told me, and a second guy is confirming this for me, that the security detail for Dan Bongino is packing his place in D.C. and moving him back down to Florida. So it's Dan Bongino's birthday today. That'd be a hell of a birthday present to be able to go out on a win and be able to say that. I'm also told that Patel is trying to dedicate a Quantico gym, which they're about to open up in about a month and a half. But he wants to dedicate it in the next week or two because the expectation is in the rumor running around inside FBI headquarters, he's not going to be here at the end of the year. And if that's the case, he wants to go and get something with his name where he can go and, you know, christen the new FBI gym. I did this thing, you know, everybody.
Natalie
Wants to put their money will be out by the end of the year.
Kyle Seraphin
You believe there's a real possibility and like, it aligns with some of the stuff we've seen. What we saw was somebody get promoted from what's called the. The assistant director role in the criminal investigation division. That's the crown jewel of the FBI. If you wanted to be the top FBI agent, the way FBI agents think of it, that's it. You're in charge of the criminal division. You win. Like you could retire on that and be a happy guy. And so the guy who was there was named Chad Yarborough. He promoted into what's called the add role. The add role is the number three. So the FBI's org chart goes director, deputy director. Now there's a co deputy director. So that's weird. And then below that is the number three called the add or the associate deputy director. Yarborough just moved into the number three. He's not on the org chart. If you go to FBI.gov and look at leadership and structure, you won't find him on there. He's just not listed. The guy who's on there retired. And the way I heard it, which I've heard it from a couple of people now, is that he went and gave a presentation to the special agents in charge of all the field offices. There's 55 of them. And when he was speaking, he was booed off the stage because the FBI middle management doesn't like what Patel and Bongino are doing because they're like, you know, Ray Comey acolytes, A lot of them are. But the funny thing is, is that all the competent agents that are working in the field, they don't want to be part of it either, because they think this is a complete show. And so you have this funny little moment where only the most sniveling of the snakes, which is actually in my Twitter timeline as well, the snivelingest person decided to try to edge up there, hoping he can outlast Dan Bongino, and then maybe he gets to be the number two in the bureau, which I guess is a win because it is a pay bump. And so you got Chad Yarborough. I know guys who worked with Chad. They thought he was a snake. They said he was like a yes man's yes man. So if that guy is going to go and take the number two role, who's left but Andrew Bailey, which is what I told you, they moved him in the first place there. He's either going to go to doj. Somebody said he was going to be the Attorney General, maybe, but he was the. The. The Trump administration's first pick to be the FBI director. So if everything actually rolls out this way, and I think they're doing everything they can to kind of not make this happen, but the guys look like they're. One of them looks like he's moving out, and the other one's looking like he's trying to get finishing touches to claim something, some sort of a legacy. Honest to God, that'd be the best thing the Trump administration could do. Like, can we just start destroying the weaponized government end. Because the thing that I can't figure.
Clayton Morris
Out, I mean, but that's terrifying. Like, hey, these guys were bad. They're being moved out. They'll indict an innocent man, maybe.
Kyle Seraphin
Yeah.
Rumble Premium Announcer
And.
Clayton Morris
And then we'll get them out and we'll get. Well, no, because all innocent people should be afraid of that. Like, agreed. It's not good. They can. Yeah, that's scary.
Kyle Seraphin
The thing that was, I had two independent FBI agents bring this up to me. They don't know each other, and both of them said the same thing as a plausible possibility. Because the question is, how do you get someone to go along with this? If, in fact, they are kind of taking a fall for this, for this case. And both of them came up with the same solution, which is disturbing to me, because they're both senior guys and have had more than a decade in the Bureau. The question was if you had, if you got approached and they said, hey, we got you on child sexual assault material, we have you on child sexual abuse material. Csam, you know, you got two choices. We can knock your door down, we can take everything we got, you know, and you're done, or you confess up to the pipe bomb thing. Yeah, because if I had to go to jail for, for either child pornography or a pipe bomb that was left in DC, I'm taking the pipe bomb 10 times out of 10. If I, if I know I'm going to prison anyway. The other thing that's really crazy about the way this was actually briefed out there in the, in the complaint is that they are very specific about the charge. Right. And they could always indict later on, but the charge is 18 USC 844 Delta. And that is like malicious damage, destruction or attempted damage or destruction by fire, explosives. And they mentioned these particular buildings in D.C. you'll heard if you listen to the press conference again, you can go back and listen again. They reiterate over and over again, these were live bombs, these were viable devices. But there's no indication that that's actually true. In fact, the FBI released a report through John Solomon not too long ago, maybe a couple of weeks ago, and one of the devices tested positive for the flame test, and the other one was negative for the flame test, which means it was basically inert. And neither one of them showed that they were likely to go off. As far as I could tell, they were missing parts on one that didn't have the actual. It didn't have a connection where there should have been. So I'm not confident either of them were viable. And by the way, I was briefed that they weren't viable. And then lastly, if we can actually go to the, the summary that Barry Loudermorks committee put out, which I think is actually pretty relevant on page 73, people, you could check the math yourself if you guys are okay with it. I'll just read the paragraph because it's kind of, it's kind of interesting. They said the FBI assessed pipe bombs for viability, but refused to determine, to explain how determinations of viability were established. So that's really specific. This is when Loudermilk and Tom Massey and the others gave this four year update and they said that the pipe bombs consisted of these 60 minute timers and they were, quote, unquote, viable explosives. Loudermilk's committee uses the word viable in quotes. And they could have quote unquote detonated and caused serious injury and killed innocent bystanders and so on. Then they get down to the second paragraph on there because they say that nobody says what viability is. Viability does not occur in the actual government document that was released by John Solomon, which was a declassified FBI or a released FBI doc. And they say this according to an FBI bomb technician who agreed to speak to the committee staff on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. The FBI's use of the term viable is a deviation from standard descriptions used by bomb technicians. And your EOD technicians that listen here will know that this is probably likely. Traditionally, bomb technicians avoid and deliberately avoid using vague language, choosing instead to refer to a bomb as a device and then say whether it would function as designed or as a hoax. In the case of these pipe bombs, it's unclear why the FBI insists on using this vague non standard description. And I was briefed days afterwards that these bombs looked very bomb like, in other words, were nerd. And I had other friends that were, you know, friends with guys in the, in the counter IED program. They said the same thing. It was like it was very widely understood that these were not capable of going off. So charging this guy with this particular statute is interesting because they have to hone in on the quote unquote viability or the, you know, the possibility of it actually burning as opposed to the hoax and the threat and the terroristic type piece of it.

Bombshell news out of Europe today. We're gonna talk about that. And we're also gonna talk about a possible coup inside the Trump administration with our friend Laura Logan coming up.
Clayton Morris
But first, first we wanna tell you about our friends over at Masa Chips because did you know that all chips and fries used to be cooked in tallow up until the 1990s when trans fats and seed oils took over American diets? Today, seed oils make up to to 20% of the average American's daily calories. Recent studies have linked seed oils to metabolic health issues, inflammation in the body. Well, Masa decided to do something about it and they created a tasty and delicious tortilla chip with just three ingredients. No seed oils. It's just corn, sea salt and 100 grass fed beef tallow. These chips don't just avoid the bad stuff. They include all the good stuff.
Kyle Seraphin
Stuff.
Clayton Morris
They are hearty. They are delicious. They come in very various flavors. The hearty I really mean it. Actually, we use these in our house. They hold up to whatever nachos, whatever dip you want to throw at it. They don't crack inside the dip. And then you have to, you know, scoop it out with a spoon or something and then start a fight with your sister when you fight over nachos, which I've been known to do. You know what I'm talking about, Lindsay? So anyhow, check out Masachi Chips. Fewer fights with siblings over the shared nachos. I promise you that. We are big fans in this house.

Well bombshell news out of Europe today. Newly leaked phone call logs show that European leaders are actively trying to thwart peace plans in Ukraine. Of course, they're bloodthirsty and they absolutely want war with Russia directly. A confidential call between European leaders and Ukrainian President Zelensky has leaked to the German newspaper Der Spiegel. They got their hands on it. The phone call was a setup to Zelensky and they tried to warn him that the United States may betray Ukraine's interests in upcoming peace negotiations with Russia. Basically trying lying to Zelensky, saying the US Would basically throw him under the bus. So go ahead and basically continue this war. According to the leaked notes, Emmanuel Macron warned that there's a possibility that the US Will betray Ukraine on the issue of territory without clarity on security guarantees, calling the situation a great danger. Frederick Mertz, for his part on the German side, reportedly told Zelensky to be very careful, accusing US Envoys of playing games in negotiation. There's a whole bunch of other individuals on this call as well from Finland, Maruta, the NATO secretary General, and other EU leaders. In other words, don't listen to the Americans.
Listen to the trustworthy European leaders instead. Dr. Olga Ravasi joins us now to break this all down and also talk about the preemptive attacks that NATO Seems to be planning against Ukraine or against Russia as well. Doctor, great to have you back on the show. Great to see you. What do you make of this Der Spiegel article and why are we hearing about this now?
Dr. Olga Ravasi
Good to see you guys again, and thank you for having me. Yes, I saw the article and saw several other international media outlets carry this. And look, at this point, I don't think that calls like this get leaked accidentally. I think this is a message that they're trying to send to President Trump first and foremost, and also to President Putin to warn him that these negotiations must include not only Ukraine and the little dictator Zelensky or wannabe dictator, but the unelected bureaucracy and some of the elected leaders of the European nations who been on a suicide mission for quite some time and have been shooting themselves in the foot, first and foremost economically, with all of their green agendas and all of the lunacy that they have been ushering and imposing on their own people. But they are trying to insert themselves into these negotiations because they realize that they are being sidelined, and rightfully so, because it is clear to all of us that the main decision makers on this will be Russians and Americans, meaning President Putin and President Trump. One thing that I thought was very interesting, while President Putin was meeting with Jared Kushner and Witkoff, at the same time, Secretary Lavrov was meeting with his Chinese counterpart. So you imagine these bilateral meetings that are kind of ushering your multipolar world, whether we want it or not, it is emerging. It is already actually here. And it is very clear what the lines in the sand are. It is China, Russia and the United States. So, of course, the Europeans would want to play a little part in this, but they're simply incapable because even their economies cannot sustain this. And back to NATO. I mean, what are they really thinking? They're going to keep sending to Ukraine. They're completely depleted. They've got nothing. And they've been telling us all along that the Russians are running out of bullets and they want to keep the racket going. Because again, let's go back to the history of NATO a little bit. NATO has been obsolete for quite some time. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, since the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, NATO basically was deemed useless. Well, how did NATO reinvent itself? Through the war in former Yugoslavia, through the Balkanizing of Yugoslavia, and through the bombing campaign that they unilaterally federally conducted against Serbia and Montenegro at the time.
And that happened without the UN Approval, the Security Council or approval. And it happened against the will of the American people as well, because we didn't have the congressional approval to go into such a campaign. So NATO has been, as we used to think of it, a defensive alliance. NATO has been incredibly aggressive and has been serving as an extended tool of the global empire, if you will, global American empire. But what I'm also concerned about is that this is an offshoot of the global British empire. Because while these meetings have been happening in Russia, while the Europeans are leaking the calls with Zelensky to send a message to President Trump, I don't know if you guys caught this, but at the Windsor Castle, King Charles had a banquet with the German Prime Minister Merz. And interestingly, at these banquets, geopolitical things are seldom discussed openly. What King Charles said was stern message, at least as far as I'm concerned, which was that the Anglo German alliance will stand opposing Russia and continue standing with Ukraine. So what does this tell us? All of these meetings are actually a threat to, let's say, hundreds of years of the extension of the British Empire, which has used the United States basically as its tool and has used us as foot soldiers to accomplish their goals, financial, military, globalist, etc. So I think they are panicking because they are realizing that President Trump also knows that there are three superpowers emerging and those three superpowers are going to be making those decisions. And one other thing, who is going to be the adult in the room to stop Naito from this suicide mission? It has to be President Trump, because let's face it, who's paying for this? Who's footing the bill? We are. And President Trump needs to be very stern and put a stop to this.
Kyle Seraphin
Now.
Clayton Morris
Recently, Mark Ruta, the head of NATO, says that NATO is on track to spend over $1 trillion per month, 1 billion. $1 billion per month in 2026 to supply weapons to Ukraine. They don't have that. So what is that going to do to the. So they're pretending that they can come to the high rollers table on this idea that they need to fight a war. They are not fighting the war. The war is not in Europe, not in NATO countries, and they're not. So it's like a cosplay. It's like war costume party. It's so dumb. But it will hurt the European people to do United States by, by extension because we are still part of NATO. So what are they playing at?
Dr. Olga Ravasi
Well, so they're playing several things. And let's face it, NATO and the European bureaucrats and even President Trump's administration is still surrounded by some of these neocons, by some of the people who are part of the swamp, who continue to be part of the deep state. And they funnel money into NATO and they funnel money with their, you know, buddies over at Mossad and CIA and BND and MI6. All of them are continuing to cosplay that Zelensky is somehow going to be victorious. But just keep sending us more money. The victory is around the corner. Just keep doing the racket over and over again. Because again, war is a racket and all of these people that are running the show are benefiting. But one thing that has to be made clear is if you look at the world currently, every single point globally that is at war is bringing about torment against Christians. And most dominant in that being Orthodox Christians. When you look at what is happening with Russia and Ukraine, I mean, these are two brotherly nations essentially. And President Putin is very strategically precise about how they are conducting this special military operation. Because we must remember that this war didn't start a year ago or two years ago or with the beginning of the special military operation. This war started again with the American bureaucrats and European bureaucrats assisting Maidan in 2014 and handing out muffins and croissants while Ukrainians were being killed and sniped and while Maidan was going on. So this has been happening for quite some time. And back to our European friends and NATO friends who keep now saying, well, we cannot redraw maps of Europe, Europe. Well, let me remind them that they actually unilaterally bombed the country in the heart of Europe, Serbia, to redraw maps of a sovereign country, internationally recognized sovereign country, taking away Kosovo from Serbia. This is a precedent that they created that now President Putin is using legitimately. Let's compare it to Crimea. Well, they're saying there's no comparison. Actually there is. In fact, there was no referendum in Kosovo. Crimea had a referendum them and not over 90% of them voted to join Russia. President Putin realizes that eastern part of Ukraine is essentially Russian speaking population. And they are one way or the other going to bring about their target mission to the end, the way they want to bring it about, which means they may go all the way. I was looking at the reports. They are closing in on Pokrov, which is a major downfall for Ukraine and for NATO because again, this is a proxy war for NATO. They are closing down into the shores of Dnieper River. That's as far as they probably may go. They may go close down into Odessa, creating landlocked country out of Ukraine and then leaving the western part of Ukraine to the rest of the Europeans to split apart. They'll leave it up to the Poles, to the Hungarians because all of them, in fact, have some interests in that part of the world. So as you said, yes, NATO continues cosplaying. But I find it interesting that Germany is doing this insane game because Germany, their situation is coming to a halt. AfD is rising in power. And interestingly enough, I was talking to my friends from AFD a couple of days ago. Their peace plan that they proposed not too long ago is very similar to this peace plan that President Trump proposed. So there is an emerge emerging nationalist, conservative element of Germany that understands very much the continental power alliance between Berlin and Moscow, which is a major threat to somebody like the British Empire or London again, being the naval power. So there's a lot at stake here. But I think President Trump will be.
Working closer together with his Russian and Chinese counterparts because, look, the Russians would want to hand him them some sort of a win, like a foreign policy win if they could. But it's a matter of what's going to happen with Zelensky and how the Europeans are going to push this. But I'll tell you, Zelensky, Mertz, Little Macron, they're all dead men walking. If you remember, During World War I, Europeans used to say for the Ottoman Empire, it's the sick man of Europe. And then the Ottomans got kicked out. Well, right now the unelected bureaucracy of the European Union and NATO, they are indeed sick men of Europe.
Natalie

Well, I've been looking forward to talking about this is a deep state coup coming for President Trump. Nefarious forces surrounding him are neocons, deep state types trying to push or trying to control President Trump in any one way or another or something else going on here? Is it all part of a 4D chess or 5D chess or 6D chess? I can't keep track of all the levels of chess that people are playing with us right now. Laura Logan posted this one morning. President Trump, based on her sources in the intel community, said President Trump, after months of waiting, watching, investigating and firsthand reporting, it appears increasingly obvious that you are being set up to fail. And there will be no coming back from this if you don't stop it now. Well, guess what, we've got Laura here, so I'm not going to read the whole tweet because she can tell us in her own words exactly what she sees happening here. Laura Logan, great to see you.
Laura Logan
Hey, thank you so much for having me.
Natalie
So first, let me just say this. I just want to say because President Trump's always been great to my family, I've interviewed him many, many, many times, just like you have.
Laura Logan
I haven't actually, I've never interviewed him really.
Natalie
Okay. I just assumed. But nevertheless, I guess my point is.
There'S a lot of people like on the sort of MAGA influencer space. I'm sure you've seen will sort of claim that he's, you know, poor President Trump, he's sort of like a toddler and there's all these people around him that are doing things to him. He's totally unaware of it, and he's just being manipulated. And he's an incredibly smart person. And I think he can always sort of smell rats, I think.
Kyle Seraphin
But.
Natalie
So I just want to kind of come out and say that because I feel like people are sort of playing him almost like a little bit of a toddler in these situations. What do you think about that? Because here's a guy who will go play golf with Lindsey Graham for four hours. Hours. And he knows how much people can't stand him. Lindsey Graham, he knows how much his base can't stand him. So I'm just curious what your take is on that before we dive into some of the pieces that are working against him.
Laura Logan
Well, I think you make a very good point, one that I've made often in conversations with people, which is that, you know, everybody, a lot of people will talk about things and say, why doesn't Trump know this? And why doesn't Trump understand this? And my first question is, how do you know? He doesn't. He doesn't. And, and why would you assume that you're so much smarter, right? You know all these things and. And he doesn't. Or you see all these things and he doesn't. Now, there is. There is an issue of how do you get to him? What filters are being put around the president that are restricting information. Like, we know, for example, that before the intel agencies withheld information from him and didn't brief him on certain things. We know that the New York Times, Times celebrated, right? They allowed a guy who was removing briefing papers from the president's desk, which is an act of treason and sedition. They celebrated him for doing that. So we know that there is an effort to control the flow of information and to keep things from him. But what I have run up against over and over again, and I want to emphasize, it's almost a year that I've been talking to people about this. So I'm one of those people that held back. I'm not one of those people that's out there sort of piling on about this person and that person in the administration. This one's gotta go. That one's gotta go. I'm conscious of what I don't know, but what I do hear from people all the time is that it's kind of like there's an asteroid belt that's been built around the inner circle surrounding President Trump. And if you try to get into that inner circle, what happens is you get into the asteroid belt and you get hit from every direction, right from the, from the gatekeepers who are trying to keep them away. Now, I wouldn't take that at face value either. I, I would still say that there's a strong argument to make that President Trump is aware of that and sees that. However, there are questions, valid questions, about a lot of people, a number of people, I wouldn't say a lot, but a number of people in this administration that have yet to be answered that are cause for some concern because of the lack of action that has followed. Not just because I don't like this person or I don't like that person, but because when, if there was real accountability that was going on now, then the questions about Pam Bondi wouldn't really matter. You know, it's that kind of thing. If, for example, we had a State Department that actually had Trump appointees in every ambassadorial position and in the deputy positions, if that was the same in the Defense Department, then you wouldn't have to question what's going on with personnel, would you? If you had a Justice Department that was actually holding people accountable, then maybe the questions about Todd Blanche, one of the deputies there, wouldn't been, have, have so much significance. But it's the lack of action that adds weight to the concerns.
Natalie
You know, I've. Who do you. So you mentioned Todd Blanch. Are there others we've covered? Susie Wiles here on the show is really a gatekeeper. Noel Frisch was just on our show last week with his reporting on Susie Wiles, and we know firsthand just the information that's not getting to President Trump.
Father Turbo Quals
Trump?
Natalie
Who else? I mean, do you care to name names? Like who are the people that are actively trying to sabotage his presidency, and do you think he knows about it?
Laura Logan
Well, I obviously don't know all of the names. Right. And as I said, I'm conscious of what I don't know. I'm also, as a journalist, it's what's, what's really difficult is that when you start to name people, right, and you put things out there, especially people of great significance, that becomes a very difficult position to be in. So, for example, you know, for many years, long before Marco Rubio was the Secretary of State, there were many people within the intelligence community who said that he was run by Cuban intelligence. Now, can I prove that Marco Rubio is working for Cuban intelligence? No, I cannot. He is also now not just the Secretary of State, he's the National Security advisor. And I think he has another position as well, so, you know, I mean, that's a lot of responsibility that is put at one person's door. And so you start to wonder, you know, when you look into Venezuela, there's definitely a component within the CIA that has a lot of control over what has happened in Venezuela. And there's been an effort in the Trump administration to shift control. There's obviously a significant effort underway, right, to dismantle the power structure in Venezuela, which is Maduro and cartel do Los Souls. So there's an element within the administration that is pushing for cartel light. Right, as opposed to going to, for example, Claudia Schombauman and her partner, who actually I believe to have won the last election, who's a political opposition figure. So when you look at that, then you start to think, okay, well, exactly what are Rubio's connections with Cuba and who else is connected to Cuba, Right, because people talk a lot about who's on the payroll of the ccp, but what they should also be talking a lot about is who's on the payroll of, shit, Chevron.
Kyle Seraphin
Right.
Laura Logan
Because who's the major oil player in Venezuela that has extensive links into the United States, that has a lot of people on their payroll here. So can I tell you definitively this person or that person? I can tell you the people whose names come up consistently. Todd Blanche's name comes up consistently. There are a number of intel groups that are tracking these things and have pointed to some very disturbing things in his record. And then when you look at the fact that, you know, Peter Tickton, who is an attorney for Tina Peters, has. Has come out boldly and said that Top Blanche is blocking that. I mean, you know, any kind of action to. To take a woman out of prison who everyone knows at this point was put in jail because she documented and actually had, you know, proof of the. Some of the fraud in the 2020 election. You know, so you start those. Those questions become more and more legitimate. There's a guy in the intel department, Aaron, Luke Lucas, who was a CIA person, you know, which doesn't make him automatically. You can't say every single person that worked for the CIA is a bad guy. But then when you start to see what's happening in the intelligence community, you start to hear that people are, you know, pushing for. For people to work with the deep state rather than prosecute the deep state, where people are arguing for maintaining the system instead of replacing the system. Well, then you have to start looking around and say, where is this coming from within the community? Who are the people within the administration that have got into these positions that are not doing their jobs or preventing people from doing their jobs. So, for example, you know, personnel is a big one. Why are there so many positions in the Trump administration that are not filled? Well, that will point you to Sergio Gore, who's been removed from being in charge of White House personnel and is now the ambassador to India. India. And, and, you know, but that doesn't fully answer the question why does he have people working for him, you, you know, who are very, very young and inexperienced? That's one of the, you know, his replacement now, right? You talk about, I think it's, is it Sekalao that's down. No, it's not Seklau.
Rumble Premium Announcer
It's.
Laura Logan
Is it Scavino that's down there now in personnel? Well, we have a major problem in the Trump administration is that, for example, you have eight deputies in DEPA in intelligence, Intelligence in the Department of Defense. Most of those positions are still occupied by people that were whose loyalties are not to this president. They're loyal to the previous president. That's the same for the Department of Justice. That's the same for many other departments within the administration. It's too long now. We've been in the Trump administration has been in power too long for someone to dismiss these concerns. The tsa, one of the worst agencies in the United States of America. America still has an acting administrator. FEMA still has an acting administration. What happened to we're going to reform fema, we're going to reform the tsa. You know what you can't do? You can't reform an agency when you have a person in there who's temporary and who is not loyal to the current administration is not going to be implementing their policies with any sort of determination. And you know, why do we not have any of the, of the executive orders that Trump has enacted? Why are they not being implemented? There was supposed to be a 90 day review on foreign assistance. There's an executive order for that. There's not been a 90 day review of foreign assistance. There was another one that said they're supposed to rewrite the Foreign Service manual. You know why? Because every time Trump tries to do something with foreign policy and he is the diplomat in chief, right? He's not just the commander in chief, he's the diplomat in chief. What do they say? They refer to, refer to the Foreign Service manual and say, oh, you can't do it that way. Well, rewrite the Foreign Service manual. He did an executive order that gives him the authority to do that, and yet it hasn't been done. Why are there so many ambassadors who gave Biden, ambassadors who gave their resignations on day one and they're still in their positions? How can you expect someone from the last administration who's a political appointee of the Democrats to implement the Trump agenda? The they're not going to do it. And this is a major, major problem. And it cannot just be swept under the rug at this point because the midterms are looming. And you and I both know what happens when you get close to an election six months out or longer. They start saying, oh, you can't indict somebody now because this will be regarded as election interference. We'll have to wait till after the midterms. And their plan is not to wait out four years of Trump. Their plan is plan is to only have two years of Trump.
Natalie
You know, I want to be cognizant of your time. I'll get you out of here. I know we trying to say up against a 5pm time. I want to get you out of here on time. Do you believe they're going to move towards impeachment and everything you're saying 100%?
Rocket Money Announcer
Yeah.
Laura Logan
There's absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Look, we just had an election stolen in Virginia. I don't know if anybody was paying attention to those election results, but it's ridiculous. I mean, when you see what the mail in ballots were the night before and then what they were the following morning, this is insanity. I mean, if Trump loses the House or the Senate or both, his presidency is over. Like, forget about it. I mean, he is 100% impeached. And why is it going to succeed this time? Because what they're going to use to impeach him is their failure to hold people accountable. Why do I say that? Because look at the information that they have. The intelligence community did a five and a half month investigation into Russia collusion. That is one of how many investigations that have been done Barry Loudermilk's committee years before Trump got into office. He's a Republican congressman. They investigated January 6th. There's multiple investigations comer at Oversight, judicial. These investigations have been carried out. There is more than enough information at this point which shows that treason and sedition was carried out. It shows the people responsible. We see this ongoing conspiracy right now. We've just had the seditious six come out with a video. And not only that video, but they're actively encouraging members of the United States military to violate the Uniform Code ucmj, the Code of military just justice, Uniform Code of Military Justice. So why are these people still free and able to carry out crimes against the American people and against their own country? Because they haven't been held accountable. Well, guess what? You know who's going to go down for those crimes? It's not going to be those people. It is going to be the people who are in power now who have sworn an oath to uphold the and protect the Constitution of the United States States from enemies both foreign and domestic. Right now, they are in violation of that oath. And the Biden administration violated that oath, for example, by opening the border. They didn't protect the borders of the United States. That was their responsibility. But if, if the people in power today don't hold them accountable for that right, if we don't hold Obama and all these other people accountable for treason and sedition, for the conspiracy that they are guilty, guilty of, they're going to turn around and impeach Trump for failing to do so. And I know that may sound counterintuitive to a lot of people, but you got to remember, look at these people. They took 1500 people from January 6th. They destroyed those families. They lost no time at all. They violated their First Amendment rights and a plethora of other constitutional rights. They didn't get free and their right to a free and fair investigation was violated. Their right to a free and fair trial was violated. I mean, for goodness sake, they were carried out. The same judges in Washington, D.C. that convicted one person after another after another after another. How can you get a free and fair trial? You cannot. How can you even have a jury of your peers in Washington, D.C. i mean, so, you know, they don't care about violating your constitutional rights. Their back is against the wall and they have a plan, plan for getting out of it. And their plan is well underway. And if the people who are in power today don't uphold their oath, if these people who know how much fraud, how much waste, how much abuse, how much corruption has been carried out do not uphold the constitutional right of every American for address of grievances, they're going to be the ones going down for it. And the people who committed those crimes, crimes are going to get away with it and they're never going to look back. Eric Holder just said it. We're going to get rid of the Supreme Court. We're going to pack the Supreme Court. You know, the Democrats have said repeatedly they're going to get rid of the Electoral College. They will never, ever, ever take the chance that they will ever be in this position again. And my bet is they're going to be more vindictive than they have ever been. You want to talk about, we know they use projects rejection. We know that they used corruption in Ukraine to their advantage. Then they turn around and try to impeach Trump for it. Every single thing they're accusing Trump of doing, they've already done. It's an information warfare tactic. So when they say he's going to use the death penalty to get rid of his enemies, you can be damn sure they're going to use the death penalty to get rid of theirs.
Clayton Morris
Thanks.
Natalie
Absolute fire. No, you're 100% right. I hadn't seen it like this at all. This is why you're so great. Laura Logan, thank you so much. Thank you so much for this. I definitely wanted to have you on to dive more deeply into this. And I think you make some incredible points and I think you're right. I mean, you got these guys like Alejandro Mayorkas walking free. All these people who facilitated a mass immigration into our United States, sex trafficking children into the United States. Why the hell are these people still allowed to walk through fricking airports? These people should be under arrest, behind bars for treason.
Laura Logan
That's correct. You're 100% right. And guess what, Clayton, Every single person that voted for President Trump and voted for accountability is going to feel betrayed. So they're going to take that emotion and that's what they're going to use. And when they're done taking down every single po, person that voted for him or worked for him or supported him, and then all the other people that maybe share some of these values and concerns, when they're done getting rid of all of them, you know what's going to happen? No one's ever going to raise their hand again because they saw what happened, happened. This is the only shot we have. The only shot we have. So whether you like him or you don't like him, if you believe in freedom, if you believe in the Constitution of the United States of America, then you better put aside your partisan politics and look at the truth and stand up and be heard.
Natalie
Amen. Laura Logan, great to see you. Thank you so much for this. I hope this is a wake up call. The wake up call that we.
Laura Logan
And watch, watch it. You can find out more and you can see the receipts and the evidence on my episode that's dropping on Friday, going Rogue with Lara Logan. I have an amazing guest who has spent nine years documenting the evidence of this.
Natalie
So watch that tomorrow. That'll drop tomorrow. Going rogue with Lara Logan. Easy for me to say. Check that out tomorrow. Thank you so much, Laura. Great to see you and Merry Christmas. If we don't get a chance to talk.
Laura Logan
Thank you so much. And same to you.
Kyle Seraphin
You.
Natalie
Thanks, Laura. Wow.
Clayton Morris
All right, that was a bombshell. Everybody take a breath after that. Yeah, she was fantastic. Okay, coming up, we're going to talk about why are over a thousand American Christian pastors in Israel getting government programming? That's interesting, right? A major summit called the American Ambassadors for Israel summit. Is your pastor there signing an ambassador agreement? Why would they do do that? Even a fund, even a cursory knowledge of the Bible would tell you that adherence to global governments is wrong. So what's happening there? We're going to talk about that in a second. But first we want to tell you about our friends over at Lear Capital. Because we are an anti war show for many reasons. Not just because we value human life, but also we value the human dollar. Every time the government wages war, it is a theft of the working class. That is the cost of war. But here's what's not said out loud, is that it is also stealing from our financial futures. Right now, the US Is on a dangerous path with record spending, endless global conflict. Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran. Add to that Venezuela. All of it fueled by borrowing from the working class. You have to go to work so that they can do this. It's brutally expensive. Now we're in the 37 or $38 trillion in the debt right region. The only solution is the government to print more money. That means inflation, a weak dollar, your savings devalued by the day. As the saying goes, savers are losers. Well, that's why we want to tell you about our friends over at Lear Capital because they can teach you to leverage your money right now into wealth preservation with precious metals. So gold, silver, they can teach you exactly how to invest. Invest in what form, what type you might be interested in. If you call this number, a real person will pick it up. It's literally like, hello, what can I talk to you about? They have all the time in the world to teach you this asset class. You also can get a free investor guide as well. If you go to Lear redacted.com right now or call them 800-613-3557. Again, no pressure, just facts. They're just going to chat with with you. We started investing in metals years ago and I was one of them who was like, why would I own this? What? What's the point of this? Well, that has turned out to be an expensive question because we waited too long. But it's not too late. In fact, if you Goldman Sachs is already predicting that gold could hit 4, $500 an ounce by 2026. So don't lose money by waiting. Learn this today. Go to learedacted.com or give them a call. Call 800-613-3557.

Well, this week a group of more than 1,000American Christian priests and pastors are in Israel to become ambassadors. This is called the Ambassador for Israel Summit. Here's the itinerary. It's posted publicly. You'll notice that they get treated treated to a full October 7th experience and then they meet with Israeli politicians and IDF generals before going to Jerusalem for a worship and celebration. Here is the curriculum they'll study this two part manual. The the it's basically a textbook going over Christian Zionism as a foundation and then a decisive force in Jewish history Even though Christian Zionism is quite new in the last century. But they are establishing this, they're weaving it in and out through history as biblical. How do you think Christians should feel about their pastors being groomed by a foreign government? The Bible is clear that allegiance belongs to God, not governments. Scripture repeatedly warns that human governments are temporary. So if a pastor is being trapped, trained, funded, ideologically shaped by a man government, wouldn't it stand to reason that that pastor is compromised, politicized at the very least, no longer spiritually independent? How does this comport with a relationship with Jesus Christ? It seems the early church would have seen this as outright corruption. But what now? How is this happening? Joining us to discuss is Father to Turbo Quals. He's an orthodox Christian and someone I was excited to talk to about this because I've seen some of your work about this Father, this ambassador program. It blends biblical prophecy with modern nationalism, implies that Christians owe loyalty to a foreign state. How does this align with orthodox teaching about the Kingdom of God and the role of, of the Church?
Father Turbo Quals
Well, well, first of all, great to have you, have me on. Thank you. I appreciate that opportunity. Just to be very straightforward and frank, it's contrary and antithetical to the historical and patristic teaching of the Orthodox Church. All the way from apostolic times, all through the patristic age, which is the early, you know, 8th centuries, and the establishment of the Church, it's been clear that the promises that were given to the nation of Israel, the people of Israel, have been fulfilled and they're completed within the body of Christ. So any movement that would speak different from that the Church would historically say is problematic. And as you mentioned earlier, this idea about Christian Zionism is really new. It's a very, very new movement. And the Orthodox Church, which we hold the beginning reigns from the apostolic times. We are the historic church. And the church fathers have said unanimously that the church of Jesus Christ is Israel. So we see this as an innovation, Zionism as a problem. And it's contrary to the teachings of Christ, the apostles and all the church fathers.
Clayton Morris
Now maybe you should know who you're dealing with. I was raised a Jehovah's Witness, so my study of the Bible was in depth as a child. And I know, I, I knew from a very early age that the Bible forbids adherence to man made government. The Scripture tells us, give Caesar's thing to Caesar's, it's basically a go along to get along. But your faith should not be in man made governments. So how is it that these American pastors are doing this mental gymnastics to be trained by a foreign government. How can they, in an intellectually honest way, do that? That.
Father Turbo Quals
Well, unfortunately, a lot of these pastors and a lot of their, you know, their congregations have been given a doctrine that is unfortunately false. And it's been, you know, slowly woven in, in such a way that it seems acceptable. But the problem is, is that the, the absence of history.
Can cause all kinds of problems. You know, there's that old adage, one who does not know history is doomed to repeat it. And so this teaching prays fundamentally on the ignorance of many people's knowledge of church history and, and to be frank, knowledge of Scripture. One of the problems is that there is a teaching called Sola scriptura, which is this idea about adhering to the Scriptures alone tongue, which conveniently removes any type of historical interpretation. And the problem with that is, is that as you can see with Zionism, it can be easily manipulated to whatever ends. And so we have seen whether it's Zionism or any other type of, you know, movement that would seek to distort the teachings of Christ. This teaching of being able to pick and choose, cherry pick Scriptures, it's very effective in leading people, people and manipulating them to, to an end outside of salvation in Christ. And that's essentially what we're dealing with.
Clayton Morris
Okay.
I don't want to be too personal, but I will say that, that this, I'm just going to confess something to you so that we can have an honest conversation. Because this idea of studying Christian Zionism, it sort of popped out of nowhere for me politically because it is not a part of Jehovah's Witness teaching and the teachings that I knew. And so I went looking to read about the Scofield text. I went looking to understand dispensationalism. And so that has forced me to.
Restudy Christianity in a way that I think maybe I left behind in my youth. And I find that to be comforting and I'm glad for that. And so I'm happy, happy to do it. But the idea of dispensationalism is that the Jews have to be back in Israel for God to come back. But eventually we do. We, we do convert them into Christians. So this doesn't even end with Jews in Israel. So I mean, I guess what I'm asking you is where do we start to, to study this? Honestly, if I'm, I'm just confessing to you where I, I am. And, and where can we, where can we do better?
Father Turbo Quals
Sure. Well, you know, I have to, I have to represent my team. So I got to be honest with you, you know, I'm a priest.
Laura Logan
Yeah.
Father Turbo Quals
But I think it's important to understand, you know, I'm a convert to, to Orthodoxy. I, I'm a former evangelical. And so I understand, you know, intimately how dispensationalism and Zionism is just accepted whole hog. You know, most people have on good faith, they just trust their pastors and they don't really feel the need to go any deeper. But that problem obviously leads down difficult roads. And so, you know, when you begin to discover that there is a historical church, for instance, in the Book of Acts, it speaks about the Berean Church and it says that Paul, you know, spoke to the Bereans and that the Bereans studied the scriptures against, to see, you know, basically what Paul said was true. Now the thing is the Berean Church still exists, but when you go there, it's an orthodox church. And so the reason why I'm saying this is because history matters. And Zionism and dispensationalism is only possible if you blind people to the apostolic history. If you blind people and, and don't give them access, even acknowledging that there were church fathers that were the direct inheritors of the, the apostolic teaching, that fundamental cornerstone of history is how dispensationalism, Zionism and a plethora of other erroneous teachings, that's how it gets, you know, pushed to people and then they swallow it whole. So the way to start forward, and we would say is begin looking at the historical church Church. And you know, the historical church will lead you towards two places, you know, essentially the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. And then from there, you know, that history becomes very difficult at 10:54. But prior to that, there's one church. And so that experience of Christ and the body of Christ and that history which all Christians who are desiring to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and want to find themselves, themselves in that church that Paul talks about in the, in Ephesians when he says there's one body, one baptism, one spirit. That historical church is the Church of the ages. It's the church that you can go and see when you, you know, leave America. And that's, that's another problem here is that there's a, a woeful ignorance of, of these true historical monuments which attest to this apostolic history, which is again, the strong and true teaching is that the church is Israel and dispensationalism is what we would call an innovation. So the way out to answer your question is really beginning to understand history. Now I would say this. The thing about church history is no one's going to debate the Orthodox Church being the oldest church. The question comes around the interpretation and the reason why I think that's important is because, because the facts speak for themselves. You can go and you can see all the ancient sites, take a pilgrimage, you can read the Church Fathers. One of the things about the Internet, one of the good things is you have access to things that, you know, 20, 30 years ago, people wouldn't only dreamed of having access to. So you can read the Church Fathers now. You can read Irenaeus, you can read St. John Chrysostom, you can read St. John Damascene, you can read these Church Fathers, fathers which were the disciples, the direct disciples of Christ. And you can see their thoughts on movements of history and how the Church always functioned. And I think this is the way forward. If anyone's, you know, confused about this, I on my, I have a channel Synaxis of Sophia, where I conduct interviews and my last two interviews I think are really important. The first interview was with two of my parishioners who are former evangelicals, who are part of a big movement of getting evangelicals, pastors, very similar to this together and praying for Israel. And as they began to dig into the history of the church and trying to adhere to the teachings of Jesus Christ even on a deeper level, they began to uncover the history and from there they began to uncover, covered the false narrative behind dispensationalism and Zionism. So I have an interview with them on there and then I followed up with that with an even, I think more important interview with my friend Father Matthew Wy and my other friend Ferris, who, Father Matthew is a Jewish convert, so he's a former Jew who is now an Orthodox priest and Ferris is a Palestinian Orthodox Christian. So we sat down and we had a conversation, conversation about the reality of Zionism, the, the, the nation state of Israel, which is not a religious nation state. And that's part of the problem is that a lot of evangelicals, they have this idea that they've been given these Christian Zionists about the nation state of Israel being some religious holy place. And the fact of the matter is that's not the case. It's, there are some false presuppositions that are given to, to them. And so we talk about that and we talk about, you know, Ferris being a Palestinian and, and the way forward. We have all experienced is in coming under that banner of Jesus Christ. But the, the Christ of the historical Christ, the Christ that has established the church at Pentecost, that same Christ who had apostles and, and, and church fathers that have held that teaching, that Christ came to, to save, save mankind. And I just want to say this real quick too, because, you know, I'm a, I'm a bit of an interesting guy myself, right. I mean, you know, my church, St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church, interestingly enough, you can even look at my life. I'm under. I'm in the Serbian Orthodox Church, but I'm clearly not Serbian. And I think this proves the point, which is being an Orthodox Christian is about being a part of the historical and eternal, eternal body of Christ. And just to be very frank, and a hard word is, you know, this Christian Zionism, this dispensationalism, it undoes that very work of Christ coming for all peoples.
Rocket Money Announcer
Yeah.
Father Turbo Quals
And so I think when people begin to understand that, they can begin to really, you know, move forward and start looking at history. And then from there the truth becomes really self evident.
Clayton Morris
Right. I mean, you know, I came across a quote recently from Pope John Paul I. He said, if I had known I would become Pope, I would have studied more. And that feels to me.
How it indicates how overwhelming it is to discuss something so ancient. But how do we come at it from a sincere place of just, I want to know, I don't think to argue with idiots on Twitter. I don't want to support the killing of anybody. I'm not God. I think a cursory knowledge of the Bible says that, you know, you don't especially take the lives of your enemy's children. And so it's just very overwhelming to watch this political system cherry pick the Bible to justify a war. And I want to, I guess I'm asking you, how do we, we extend our, maybe our hopes for people who are misled by pastors like this and point out, how do we go right from here, from all of these powerful Christian Zionists who are leading their, I mean, they're leading their people into war, which is a theft from their working, from the working class. There's no other way to see it economically. So I don't know how you can support a warring government. So what do we do with that? With these emotions that I've just thrown at you? I'm sorry.
Father Turbo Quals
I think the first thing is these emotions are given to us by God for a purpose. The problem is when emotions begin to leave that purpose and they lead Us into what in the Orthodox Church we call our passions, where we begin to be overcome instead of anger. And anger is given to us to motivate us to fight against injustice and to fight against sin and fight demonic forces. But when it becomes wrath and vengeance, then we have a problem. Fear and, and caution for one's life is, is, is a blameless emotion. But when it becomes crippling, when it becomes irrational, this is our passions. So what we need to do is we need to take. If we find ourselves in a, in a place where we are overcome with, with wrath and, and fear and, and hopelessness, this is where precisely we can begin to enter into deeper prayer. And we can begin to. And I don't mean just well, wishes and empty words. I mean prayer as a mode of life. When we begin to put our heart towards hope and understanding that as St. Paul says, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but principalities and power, spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places, then we begin to understand that the battle really does begin in the human heart. And then from there it moves out to our families and moves out to our communities, and then it moves out to our state. And part of the way that these powers, these fallen powers undermine the hope of people is precisely to get them to think that they can't do anything. But within every gathering of beliefs, believers in, in every, you know, in our parishes, every liturgy, every service we have, the, the liturgy is a battle cry in which we proclaim the triumphant call of Jesus Christ. I have my, my priestly cap on and it says, I see exe nika. That's Jesus Christ conquers in Greek. And so we proclaim this. Every liturgy that Jesus Christ has, has defeated these fallen powers. And so we claim territory when we pray, we claim territory when we take control of our families for the sake of the gospel, when we submit our lives and in our communities to live according to the commandments of Christ. And this is one of the reasons why the fallen powers, the governments, are so keen on trying to break up the, the work of the people. You know, the liturgy. So many people may understand it, you know, in the Roman community, Catholic tradition as Mass, but as Orthodox Christians, we call it the liturgy. And the liturgy is the work of the people. It's where we come together and we proclaim the victory of Jesus Christ and the truth of Christ. And we take territory and we play that out. We had in our church a Metropolitan Amphilochi, a blessed memory who was a bishop in Montenegro in Serbia, and he fought against, you know, the God government there and its desire to become oppressive and to take over the people. And he has a famous quote. He said, the Orthodox Church is the only thing standing in between the nwo. And what that means is the Orthodox Church has maintained this very reality of being completely aligned and having our full fidelity to Jesus Christ. The Orthodox Church is the church that survived the Bolshevik Revolution. The Orthodox Church is the church that survived. Described various, you know, Ottoman and, and Turkish enslavements throughout the years. The Orthodox Church is the Church of the martyrs. And, and that Church of the martyrs Understand this to be under persecution where you might lose your family and your home for the sake of your faith. That is the historical faith and that is the, the grounding where we find our power to, to bear witness. Because martyrs means witness. So we bear witness in the truth. And it's no different now in America than it was in the, in the second century. And so the church is consisting of mothers and fathers, grandmothers, sons and daughters who, they live their lives, they work their farms, they go to their jobs. And they realize that at any moment in time they have to bear witness to the truth that Jesus Christ, Christ, you know, died on the cross and was risen on the third day, ascended into heaven. Right? This is what we stand upon. And we're, we're willing to, to lay down our lives for that. And that alone. Because governments, look, Paul was under the Roman occupation, and so the, the church was built to be in the valley. So I would say to you and to anyone who's overwhelmed, don't be overwhelmed. We were made for this. Christians were made to be in this world not to be comfortable, but to be sojourners. And when we're uncomfortable, that's precisely where we're hitting it on the bullseye. That uncomfortableness is what allows us to have our eyes looking towards heaven. And the best of us is brought out during those times of struggle. That's when we function the way we're supposed to function. So I would just say for anyone who, who misunderstands the Christian experience historically, traditionally is one of, to be frank, resistance. But it's not resistance in regards of an earthly revolution, but it's a heavenly resistance against fallen powers. And that's what we're dealing with ultimately are the. Are demonic forces that manipulate and they use social movements and governments to undermine the, the work of God. But they will not succeed.
Clayton Morris
Well, I think that's comforting because maybe people like me will start seeking again because you can see that there's a clear government perversion of what is, what should be a sincere faith. So the way I, I guess the way I do it is just like as if I'm, you know, Hansel and Gretel. I just keep picking up the, what book is in front of me. I'm going to read it. What do I need? What's, you know, what did I miss? And so.
Yeah, if you have any. I mean, obviously if I ever asked you for a book to read, you probably would say the Bible. Is there anything else that you think that people like me should read?
Father Turbo Quals
I think there's some great books. There's a book called the Orthodox Way by Bishop Timothy Metropolitan Callisto Swear. It's an excellent book and it's a two volume companion. The other one's called the Orthodox Church and it's basically historical, historical companion to the Orthodox Way. The Orthodox Way teaches, you know, the ancient tradition of prayer and the Orthodox Church gives the historical one. But there's another great book called Rock and Sand by Father Josiah Trenum. And that book is excellent because it will really help people coming out of all the various, you know, kind of traditions and milieu that, that us as Westerners and Americans are coming from. And it gets back, back to the historical roots of what the church is and how we kind of ended up where we're at with, you know, several thousands of denominations and none of them agree. So I think, I think those three books are a great place to start. And I would also say, you know, again, that's a big part of my public ministry is I'm, you know, I've dedicated my public ministry to really encouraging and highlighting these issues for people, people where they intersect in our lives, you know, culturally, politically. And so I have a podcast, the Real Path, where me and my spiritual children discuss these things. And again, the Synaxis of Sophia, where I have these interviews touching on these very things like church history, touching on various traditions, you know, why and how did we get to this place historically? So there's so much, there's so much great content out there. But I think from those sources I've just cited, people would very easily find those breadcrumbs that you're talking about and find their way, as we would say, back home back to the historical church.
Clayton Morris
Well, thank you so much. It really was nice to talk to you. I appreciated it. Again, I hope you come back and thank you for breaking down this Christian Zionist movement and how people need to feel if they see their pastors being co opted by a political government. So pleasure to meet you Please come back.
Father Turbo Quals
My joy. Thanks for having me on. God bless you.
Clayton Morris

If you've been seriously injured, your case could be worth millions. And you should know exactly what your rights are. That's why I want to tell you about Morgan and Morgan. They're American, America's largest injury law firm with over a thousand attorneys working in all 50 states. And unlike a lot of firms that settle quickly, Morgan and Morgan doesn't take low ball offers from insurance companies. Just in the past few months, they won $12 million in Florida when the insurance company offered only $350,000. And in New York, they secured $6.8 million on a case where the offer was just $275,000. And the best part, it's absolutely free. Unless you win, insurance companies try to pay out as little as possible. Morgan and Morgan fights to get you more if you become their client. It only takes a few minutes to see if you have a case. And you can do it right from your phone. It's that easy. You can visit forthepeople.com redacted or you can click the link in the description to get started.

Thank you guys for watching us over on YouTube. And it's kind of crazy how much our Rumble audience has grown tremendously. Like, it's when we have our live show every day.
Far more people watch us live on Rumble. Yeah, it's kind of, you know, people. People kind of fed up with YouTube, I think, in a lot of ways.
Clayton Morris
So, you know, I will say this just before we say Goodbye to our YouTube audience. I've had a lot of comments online or people saying, I'm done with you because you did this or you stood against Israel, you did this. I don't understand what the expectations are of redacted, but I want to set them. We don't like any government or politicians. We are an anti war show and we do our best to be intellectually honest. And when something leads us down a path that we don't like, we're still gonna look in that direction. So I feel like now, Clayton, you talked about this at Fox before that Fox News was very neocon Republican. Then Trump came in and Fox didn't know what to do with that because they thought like, oh, that's a blip. We don't have to deal with him.
Father Turbo Quals
Yeah.
Clayton Morris
And, and then so many Republicans liked Trump and we can see these factions continuing to break up. So there's like MAGA faction and, oh, do we have to criticize Trump? And then there's, you know, that we don't play that game. So we're not here to win your loyalty. We're only here to have intellectually honest discussions. And a lot of times that leads us to uncomfortable paths. But if you pigeonhole us, like, wait, I thought they were maga. Why are they saying that? Then you are going to be disappointed. Pointed. Yeah, maybe this is, yeah, maybe this is the trajectory of modern media. Right.
Natalie
I don't know. I mean, because you see the lines drawn. It's like we were never in like the cat turd camp. I mean, there's certainly things that like cat turd would tweet about that, like, yeah, I definitely want our borders closed. Absolutely.
Clayton Morris
Yeah.
Natalie
But like being all in on Israel and, you know, and carrying out, carrying out a genocide in Gaza, like, no, so again, being anti war, like, we were never fought following any kind of line of any of these people. Yeah, I don't know.
Clayton Morris
I, I wouldn't say that. There's like, we don't worship at the feet of political parties. And so that becomes really uncomfortable. So when I see these people saying, I left when you wouldn't support Israel, I was like, what would have told you that I would have supported a world government waging war? From our previous coverage of Ukraine, I'm so confused that you might have pigeonholed us that way. We don't come here to dis disappoint you or your loyalties. We only come here, as Clayton says, to become uncomfortable and be as intellectually honest as we can with an AMEX card. My benefits suit me, so I earn on both big and little things in life, and so can you. Are you a foodie who dines in or one who takes out?
