WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.839
Joining me now is Jay Michael Waller. He is the
2
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.360
Senior Analyst for Strategy at the Center for Security Policy.
3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:09.240
He is the author also of the book Big Intel,
4
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.359
How the CIA and FBI went from Cold War heroes
5
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.000
to Deep State Villains.
6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.079
That was his book last year.
7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.000
He joins us now, mister Waller, welcome back to the broadcast.
8
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:19.960
Thanks for being with us.
9
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:21.359
Good to join you again.
10
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:22.920
Great to have you here with us.
11
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.079
Let's go right away to breaking news and I want
12
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.679
to get to Australia and the tragedy there, but I
13
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.399
want to get to this one breaking news here. Ukraine
14
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.960
opens new chapter in the history of naval warfare by
15
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.799
blowing up a submarine in the Russian seaport. However you
16
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.439
say that name there, but I'm sure you can say it.
17
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:44.679
But here we go. Watch the video.
18
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.159
This is.
19
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.560
What is I mean? Do you know how this went down?
20
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.960
And what does it tell us?
21
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.759
Yeah, it looks like it went down really well for Ukraine.
22
00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:00.759
It's a really admirable operation. To imagine being able to
23
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.560
penetrate a heavily fortified naval seaport like that and strike
24
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.079
the exact submarine with all those other warships around.
25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.519
And this has happened now in the last few hours.
26
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.239
How do you think Russia is going to respond to this?
27
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.519
Well, they haven't responded the way I would have anticipated
28
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.480
them responding to most of the attacks on them. They've
29
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:26.760
really been I don't know, kind of paralyzed in there
30
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.879
or incapable in their responses. But when you consider the
31
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.959
other vessels. They took out the Russia's black Sea Fleet flagship,
32
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.599
they took out the naval facilities in Crimea, the power
33
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.920
systems one third of Russia's long range strategic aircraft from
34
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.640
the Ukraine has done an amazing job. And Russia really
35
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.599
hasn't hit back the way one would expect.
36
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:48.319
And why do you think that is?
37
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:53.599
Because they have the Satan two and all that technology.
38
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.239
They have it. But it's proof that I mean, the
39
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.000
whole invasion of Ukraine was a stupid thing from Putin's
40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.120
part because had he just waited longer, all of Europe
41
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.439
and the Biden administration would have caved in and given
42
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.480
them everything they wanted, and the Russians could have just
43
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.120
marched in. That's what we thought would happen. But Putin
44
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.120
went and did the dumb thing and invaded, and in
45
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.000
so doing so they didn't think to bring enough fuel
46
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.599
trucks to accompany their armored convoys in the invasion force,
47
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.719
so they had all column stopped up right away. And
48
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.080
then they found that the military was so corrupt. They
49
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.960
were buying cheap Chinese made tires for their heavy equipment
50
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.240
and all sorts of other stuff that caused things to
51
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.080
break down. And then over a while the soldiers were
52
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.599
selling the fuel to the locals, and then you had
53
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:41.280
all the expensive equipment just sitting there free for the
54
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.879
Ukrainians to take. So it was really a completely bungled
55
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.680
operation from a military perspective on the Russian side from
56
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.360
the start, and the Ukrainians had put up a really
57
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.159
admirable fight.
58
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.000
How do you think this ends?
59
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.919
I see sure Germany is now saying, look, we're going
60
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.120
to go to conscription. It seems like every time I
61
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.080
turned around, some NA leader, European leaders talking about war
62
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.000
and preparing for warn sons dying on the battlefield.
63
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.319
Where's all this going?
64
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.639
Well, you can look at it a whole lot of ways.
65
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.120
First of all, the Europeans have they pulled us into
66
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.759
this by being the the forces to provoke the Biden
67
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.159
administration to go to the Biden administration to do something
68
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.800
and pull the United States in when the Biden and
69
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.479
you know administration was asleep at the switch. So nobody
70
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.479
has come up with a strategy. The Ukrainians haven't, the
71
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:35.400
NATO hasn't, the European Union hasn't, the United States hasn't
72
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.680
on what are our end goals in Ukraine and how
73
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:41.120
are we going to get there? So Trump comes in
74
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:46.439
inheriting this complete mess, and he says, there's there's no
75
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.319
way that we can win this thing. Let's just quit
76
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.840
while we're at or quit before we get behind, and
77
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.240
and put an end to this. But you see the
78
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.199
you know, he had to beat up the Europeans to
79
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:56.840
pull their weight.
80
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.520
Let's move to the issue of Australia.
81
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.120
We have a reporter on the ground in Israel that
82
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.439
works for US, and of course we reported on that
83
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.159
today at one o'clock Central.
84
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:10.159
But I want to come to the issue with you
85
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:11.199
because I know you.
86
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.360
Have talked an awful lot and warned an awful lot
87
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.480
about Islam. I guess Australia just had their October seventh,
88
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.680
if you will. I had a book come out just
89
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.720
a couple months ago entitled America's October seventh. What's the
90
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.879
subtitle of that book, logan the Hamasa's US network exposed
91
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.120
or something like that. Sadly, I expect to see and
92
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.560
we've been saying since October seven, twenty twenty three, that
93
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.839
we expect to see something like that in America, And
94
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.759
now apparently the FBI has spoiled a New Year's Eve
95
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.120
attack in multiple locations in Los Angeles. Talk to us
96
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.839
about what went down in Australia. The police, they're being
97
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:53.279
wildly and rightly I think, criticized for being impotent.
98
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.120
The police. There's a police station.
99
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.560
I see a map within eyesight of this where it
100
00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:58.160
took place.
101
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.439
Took fifteen to twenty minutes for them to respawn.
102
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.920
It ended up taking a civilian risking his life getting
103
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.439
shot to disarm one guy. We have been look pro
104
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.639
police traditionally in our country, we have been, but after
105
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.120
Black Lives Matter and cultural Marxism, we've been saying an
106
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:18.199
interface dialogue with Muslim brotherhood, police department, sheriff departments. We've
107
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.959
been saying openly, we've run off a lot of the
108
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.600
good guys.
109
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:22.120
We are left with.
110
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.360
Infinite police departments, many of them that cannot rightly respond
111
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.160
to this and now we see this in Australia. Speak
112
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.720
to all this please and where we're going.
113
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.199
Well, there's a lot there to have this happen. So
114
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:37.720
an ear a police station with a twenty minute response
115
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:43.240
and have a local civilian take down the one of
116
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.519
the gunmans. It's an amazing thing. I mean, you don't
117
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.759
expect police to be there all the time, but they
118
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.240
shouldn't have a long response rate like that. You could
119
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.079
tell that the man who took out the first gunman
120
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.240
with his bare hands wasn't experienced in firearms, so he
121
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.480
couldn't use that to defend himself later when he was
122
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.279
getting shot at. And now you have the Australian government
123
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.800
coming out and saying we're going to ban guns even further.
124
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.879
This was a case of foreign extremists, known foreign extremists
125
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.839
being allowed in Australia, being allowed it to stay, to
126
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.399
live off the Australian taxpayer, and then to come in
127
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.519
and show you saw the man on the bridge. He
128
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.240
was highly trained bolt action rifle popping off four shots
129
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.879
in five seconds. That's amazing skill right there. Somebody trained him.
130
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.560
Yeah, indeed, And now we're finding out that the son
131
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.600
and father are from Pakistan. We're finding out that the
132
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.959
sun was on the radar of the authorities and apparently
133
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.680
was cleared a few years ago. I mean almost seems
134
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.439
like always these guys were on the radar of the authorities.
135
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.439
I mean, partly a shooting happens that the FBI in
136
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.600
our country, Oh yeah, they were on our radar. Well, really,
137
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.240
why didn't you do something? Someone over there in Australia
138
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.399
are asking if there was some kind of standdown order,
139
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.319
do not respond for fifteen to twenty minutes?
140
00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.000
Are you kidding me?
141
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.439
Well, you know, the Australian security services are more woke
142
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.600
than the CIA and the FBI. Australia is much further
143
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.920
down the line and down the path and wokeness than
144
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.680
the United States was let alone, let alone is. And
145
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.040
there's no reversal in Australia like there is there. So
146
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.639
you have, you know, you have a whole mentality now
147
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.160
in all of law enforcement that you cannot move at
148
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:28.959
certain targets the way you normally order. You can't watch
149
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.360
them way you normally could. But just think you have
150
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.240
you know, a Honica celebration that was scheduled long in advance,
151
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.040
with a high concentration of Jewish people celebrating their holiday,
152
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.759
and there's not adequate security to prevent the known wolves,
153
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:46.759
the people they already know about, from coming in and
154
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.560
shooting the place up. It's obscene.
155
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.879
It is obscene, particularly when you look at the structures
156
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.079
from that bridge to the building there on the grounds
157
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.360
that would give them the high ground, which is of
158
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.519
course what any security expert would immediately be looking at,
159
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:02.199
is the high ground like shooting fish in a barrel.
160
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.920
And yet this thing went down the way it did,
161
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.920
and there weren't security to the degree that obviously there
162
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.079
should have been, or even the event being held right
163
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.839
there at that location where people.
164
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.800
Can have the high ground. Let's talk about America.
165
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.560
I'll consider you, mister Waller, that we're going to see
166
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.319
our own October seventh stall event, and maybe we just
167
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.240
had a major terrorist attack for New Year's Eve foiled
168
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.120
by the authorities in the Trump administration.
169
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.759
Yeah, I'm extremely concerned. You could just think, if you're
170
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.399
a foreign enemy of our country and you want to
171
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:38.080
harm us, destroy us, wouldn't you take advantage of the
172
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.000
open borders policy and the wokeness that causes people to
173
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.000
look the other way. You'd be a fool not to
174
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.519
you'd be you'd be a traitor to your cause not
175
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.440
to take advantage of that to come here and showed
176
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:54.360
us up. So I fully expect a number of mass
177
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.720
shootings and terrorist attacks that take place in our country,
178
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.759
if not immediately, certainly in the future. And the FBI
179
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.159
IS and the other authorities busts of this network in
180
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.080
Los Angeles shows these things are being planned.
181
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.759
How concerned are you now about China? We keep reading
182
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.279
about China getting into our our our grid. They have
183
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:18.799
chips on our transformers. I mean, every time we turn around,
184
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.919
we're reading about more and more of what China has
185
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.000
to bring our country down. And when we hear a
186
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.600
lot of talk about China and tough talk, but now
187
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.919
we're going to send Navidia chips to China.
188
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.080
It seems as though.
189
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.080
At some level we have a kind of a schizophrenic
190
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.080
foreign policy on China.
191
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:34.159
Do we not?
192
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.679
I agree? I agree if it's insane to be sending
193
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.799
Nvidia chips to the Chinese Communist Party so they can
194
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.399
build their artificial intelligence. And it's not just deep seak,
195
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.000
you know, the chat GPT type stuff. This is the
196
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.960
Chinese Communists are developing machines that will be able to
197
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.759
think on their own according to a moral code that's
198
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:01.799
loyal to the Chinese Communist Party JANET. So they lead
199
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.720
the world in autonomous drones, they lead the world in
200
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.360
building you know, humanoid robotic what they call super soldiers,
201
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.279
and they're doing this with our technology.
202
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.720
What do you make about Venezuela.
203
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:19.519
We've been reporting since I think two thousand and eight,
204
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.120
two thousand and nine. You go back in our history
205
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.039
about potential missiles in northern Venezuela Caracas twelve hundred and
206
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.759
sixty four miles as it pro flies to Miami. We've
207
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.360
talked about flights from Iran Tehran going in there for years.
208
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:39.759
Then we've got POMPEIOCI director telling Chris Wallace on Fox
209
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.480
News during the Trump's first term that you got Hesbola there,
210
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.080
and you've got Russia there, and I ran there.
211
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.919
Of course China's there. Is this Is this.
212
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.440
Blowing up of these little boats really about the drug war? Which,
213
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.279
if it is, that's fine. I'm not for these drugs
214
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.679
coming in here and killing our people. But is this
215
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:02.480
more about maybe that Marita what is called Margarita Island,
216
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.960
where has bolas being trained. Is this more about our
217
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.000
enemies that have an alliance together militarily and economically in
218
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:11.919
our backyard.
219
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.120
You just nailed it right there. This is what the
220
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.159
Monroe doctrine was for over two hundred years ago, when
221
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:23.559
President James Monroe created our foreign policy doctrine that we're
222
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:28.480
not going to intervene in America's free republics of the Americas.
223
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.320
But any colonial power that returns or comes in is
224
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.279
a threat to the United States. And that was our
225
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.919
policy until really John F. Kennedy caved in on Cuba.
226
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:43.120
But really it was maintained until the Obama administration formally
227
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.279
renounced it. So it's not just Venezuela being a nasty regime,
228
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.080
which it is. There's plenty of nasty regimes in Latin
229
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.159
American history. This is a regime that has been attacking us,
230
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.720
emptying our prisons and insane asylums to come here and
231
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.039
to colonize us, and to attack our people, and to
232
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:06.159
bog down our law enforcement and to stemius from people
233
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.960
from living normal lives here in America. In addition to
234
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:14.399
the drug trafficking, in addition to allowing has Belat to
235
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.679
use our maritime southern border as a staging area. I mean,
236
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.679
the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has a drone factory on a
237
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.080
Venezuelan military base. So the Venezuelan regime has allowed most
238
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.480
of our foreign enemies to come and congregate and use
239
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.240
that territory for some kind of playing against us.
240
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.080
Well, now we see that today President Trump say he's
241
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.320
signing an executive order to classify fentanyl as a weapon
242
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.360
of mass destructure.
243
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.519
Here's a quipp clip from the Oval Office.
244
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:49.679
Deadly fl flooding into our country. With this historic executive
245
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:53.399
order I will sign today, we're formerly classifying fentol as
246
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.279
a weapon of mass destruction, which is what it is.
247
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.919
No Bob does what this is doing. Two hundred to
248
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.919
three hundred thousand people die every year that we know of.
249
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:13.320
So we're formally classifying fentandyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
250
00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:16.840
But before I signed the all right, so that I
251
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.559
don't know what that means for the drug runners here
252
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.080
in Amerket get caught with it.
253
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.159
It's got to be some serious stiff penalties.
254
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:27.080
Now, yeah, I mean imagined before it was just an
255
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.159
illegal drug. Right now it's a weapon. So if it's
256
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.360
defined as a weapon, that means you can take military
257
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.919
action abroad can we have the legal right to attack
258
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.480
anyone smuggling that in here, anyone smuggling the precursor chemicals
259
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.679
in here, and taking out anyone in a foreign country.
260
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.600
It can be done. We can do it by drone
261
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:49.279
or however else who is part of a Chinese Communist
262
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.639
party network to attack us with weapons of mass destruction
263
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.799
as the President has just defined it. So it's not
264
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.559
just the illegal drug smuggling anymore. He's changed the whole
265
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.120
debate on drug.
266
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:04.279
His appointment was, that's my fault on my insorry about that, guys.
267
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:09.240
I saw an article, posted an article today. I'm trying
268
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:14.279
to find it now. I posted an article today about
269
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:19.279
one of these groups developing super fast drones.
270
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.879
I can't remember. Here we go, I ran, here we go,
271
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.799
I ran introduces.
272
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:32.559
Stealthy, high speed Kamakazi drone. Okay, we on this broadcast
273
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.440
maybe two years ago, three years ago, played video footage
274
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.519
that the IRGC put out that looked like it could
275
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:44.840
have been on our border between Mexico and America, would
276
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:47.879
have been down the border between Mexico and Texas, Mexico
277
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:53.200
and Arizona. But it was them sending off drones and
278
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.039
they came in and the drones were shooting what looked
279
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:00.679
to be like almost like a machine guns at a
280
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:06.000
crowd of people, but it was cardboard cutouts, and we
281
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.480
started talking about that then. Now the technology is moving
282
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:16.639
so quickly. I am so concerned about potential mass casualty
283
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.240
event coming out of Mexico, since we know the connection
284
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:23.240
between the cartels and the Islamist the red Green axis, etc.
285
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.679
How consider are you about these drone attacks on our
286
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.120
border coming over from Mexico. H.
287
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.200
We have no defense against them, right, we have no
288
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.080
way to detect them. And remember you've got the Iranian
289
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.559
drone factory in Venezuela. We don't know what kind of
290
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.240
drones they're making there. It could be at ease, and
291
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.840
that's our southern maritime border, so it's not just coming
292
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.039
over the land border. It could be coming by sea also,
293
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:51.559
and this could be what some of these fast drug
294
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.360
boats are bringing in. We just don't know.
295
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:55.360
And then add the club K car to it, right,
296
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.919
the club K cargo systems.
297
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.200
We did a whole documentary on that. Those club Ka's
298
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.879
open up.
299
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.200
Or silos, and we have no way of stopping that
300
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.200
off of our coast. And I don't know if you've
301
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.519
seen the logan, maybe we can bring it up real quick.
302
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.399
Have you seen the cover of the Economist magazine came
303
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:16.240
out about a month ago, twenty twenty six Ahead, I
304
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.840
was talking about what's coming in twenty twenty six Ahead, Okay,
305
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.039
many things, many things. On the cover of the Economist magazine,
306
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.480
which we all know is one of the premier globalist magazines.
307
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.200
You see the dollar collapsing in dollars spilling off of
308
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:30.840
a chart, so it looks like they're.
309
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:32.600
Talking about maybe a dollar collapse. I don't know.
310
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.360
Silver's headed to sixty five dollars an ounce today. You know,
311
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.279
gold's well up over forty three dollars forty three hundred
312
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:42.000
dollars an ounce. But the other thing you see, mister Waller,
313
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.960
is a cargo container ship with missiles coming off of them,
314
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.480
and they're getting a If you zoom in on that,
315
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.960
you also see a satellite command. So a satellite signal
316
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.120
is going down to the cargo ship. There to the
317
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.960
left of the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday Cake of America.
318
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.119
You got missiles coming off getting a signal from a satellite.
319
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.759
This is what is in my documentary in twenty eighteen
320
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.519
on the Club K cargo system. I mean this is
321
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.400
round the cover of the Connas magazine.
322
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.559
Your thoughts, Well, that tells a story that we've been
323
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.400
warning about for years, and we were told that it
324
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.680
was a conspiracy theory. So it's another conspiracy theory come true.
325
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.880
We had a scenario where a shipping container on a
326
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:29.240
freighter that coming in from China in the port of
327
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.480
Baltimore with missiles inside the container that could decapitate the
328
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.039
United States government within minutes and we would have no
329
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.799
way of detecting it or countering it.
330
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.160
Yeah, and yet we're conspiracy theorists here we are. You know,
331
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.839
I don't know what your family does, because I think
332
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:44.000
you probably live outside.
333
00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:47.079
The DC area, right I moved out of the DC area. Oh, well,
334
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:48.640
good for you. The smart move up.
335
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.359
My friend, the late doctor Peter Prye, we used to
336
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.079
produce his weekly radio show and I progres yes, absolutely
337
00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.079
miss him. He produced his TV show from this very desk,
338
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:02.119
and he moved out, said I'm getting outside the blast zone,
339
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.400
and he moved way on out. But he and I
340
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:07.880
had so many conversations over and of course you probably
341
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:13.000
remember when he was working for Kurt Weldon up on
342
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:17.400
the hill and Kurt Weldon and Dan Burton put together
343
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.079
the mock up of a briefcase of a nuclear suitcase.
344
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.480
And that was our buddy Peter Vincent Pride that mocked
345
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:26.240
that up for him. I think it's in the Spy
346
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.640
Museum there in DC with his name down there. Peter
347
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.880
Pry and we at dinner one night here in town.
348
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:33.519
He was here filming. We went out to dinner.
349
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.960
He was talking to me and a couple of the
350
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.400
people at the table that had brought with us about
351
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.200
how much you would need that you could put it
352
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.319
into a backpack even and then just set it around
353
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.200
in different places in the nation's capital, and what it
354
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.200
could do, and how concerned he was. And on one
355
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.279
of the videos we've played of Dan Burton and Cornerson
356
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.119
Burton Congressman Weldon at the time, they were saying, look,
357
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.480
one of these devices could take out eight square blocks.
358
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.240
I am so shocked. We haven't seen something like that yet,
359
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:03.839
aren't you.
360
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.279
Yeah, it's probably the grace of God and maybe some
361
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:10.960
good intelligence that we never knew about, right, or the
362
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.359
perpetrators have decided now is not yet the.
363
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.839
Time, and isn't that at the end of the day.
364
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.319
What it all comes down to, they're waiting on the
365
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:23.119
perfect time, the perfect day. I don't know, you know
366
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.799
our family here, what your family does. But we are
367
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.359
prepared for the power to go down. We're prepared for
368
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.640
disruption in just in time inventory because we realize how
369
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.079
vulnerable our country is. And one of my friends who
370
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.319
used to be for many years in leadership at the
371
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.599
National Reconnaissance Office, he said, the problem, Brandon is the
372
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.240
borders have.
373
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.640
Been open for so long. We don't know who's here.
374
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.799
So they have prepared the battlefield, and we have no
375
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.400
idea how to respond because we don't know who's here.
376
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:54.559
And in some cases we don't know if they haven't
377
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.119
already placed these pargo containerships around the country, these containers
378
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.720
to be all over prepositioned, we would have no way
379
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.880
at this point of finding them.
380
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.400
No, they're shipping containers all all over the place and
381
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.920
everybody's backyard and stop at any truck stop. But imagine
382
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:17.240
if you have these missiles on trucks and they're stopping
383
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.319
it truck stops in different strategic parts of the country,
384
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:22.440
all at about the same time. The drivers might not
385
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.599
even know what they're carrying and it's all remote control launches.
386
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.200
But the trucks are all prepositioned so that there would
387
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.200
be no way to intercept these missiles.
388
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.960
Let's in our final moments together, Let's go to your book.
389
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.240
You wrote a book in twenty twenty four last year
390
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:39.440
on the deep State and the FBI, was entitled Big Intel.
391
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:42.319
How the CIA and FBI went from Cold War heroes
392
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.839
to Deep State villains. How do you think the Trump
393
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.839
administration is doing when it comes to cleaning out the
394
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:50.799
deep state from the FBI and CIA.
395
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.240
CIA, I don't see any changes at all. Our CIA director,
396
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:01.799
he's a good man, but he's Ratcliffe, but he's not
397
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.480
a transformative person. You don't see any leaks against him,
398
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.720
so he's not offending any of the powers that be
399
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:13.519
on the inside with the FBI. I'm going to publicly
400
00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:14.799
reserve judgment for now.
401
00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.720
What other concerns do you want to alert our American
402
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:19.720
citizens to tonight?
403
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.759
Well, first, it like the man in Australia who grab
404
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:27.480
that gunman, it's up to every citizen to first. You
405
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.279
can't take care of others until you take care of yourself.
406
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.400
You have to be prepared for the worst circumstances. You
407
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.079
it's all just common sense. And then you have to
408
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.039
figure out what would the enemies of our country do?
409
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:41.440
What would I do if I was the enemy? And
410
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.000
then you sort of take it what we call a
411
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.119
red team approach. You look at it from the eyes
412
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.519
of the bad guys. How would they exploit us? Could
413
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.160
it be exploiting the border situation to infiltrate people and
414
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.359
to destroy us from within? Think of it. There were
415
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.960
the equivalent of six army divisions of military ageines males
416
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:04.920
who were seen coming over the border sixty thousand with
417
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.440
similar haircuts, with similar clothing, with similar gear, and they
418
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.640
were just allowed through six army division equivalents. We don't
419
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.480
know who they are.
420
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.559
And they're still here, right.
421
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:20.680
They haven't been deported. We have seen no indication that
422
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.240
they have been.
423
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.519
And again, I guess we'll always asked the question, what
424
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:25.400
are they waiting for?
425
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.160
Well, I guess we don't know.
426
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.240
Do we We don't know, and we don't know precisely
427
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.839
what they're doing. They could be they could be part
428
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.720
of a research and development program at a major software
429
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.640
or hardware company for all we know. They could be
430
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.680
just having normal jobs at a restaurant or a donut
431
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.440
shop or someplace waiting to be activated at a certain
432
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:49.000
point in time. We just don't know. But the convenient
433
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.319
thing about infiltrating people into a country and prepositioning them
434
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.319
and their gear in advance is they can prepare for
435
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:58.599
a tax, to take down our grid, to take down
436
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.359
our supply change, to take down our leadership, anything else,
437
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.160
and it's not traceable back to the country responsible. So
438
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.240
it's not like firing a missile where we have an
439
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.000
early warning system and we know who's firing with us,
440
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.519
and we have a few minutes either to defend against
441
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:16.200
it or retaliate against it. You don't have that with
442
00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:18.319
the case of sabatories inside this country.
443
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:19.559
You sure don't.
444
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.160
Our friend Gordon Chang, who is just here in town
445
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.759
speaking at our national conference and he's a regular here,
446
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:28.640
said that, you know, Americans should be prepared to fight
447
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.240
the next war on our soil. And he has said
448
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.559
that the Chinese Commonist Party will alert their cells and
449
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.920
they'll poison water, they'll let off bombs, and.
450
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.000
They will kill a lot of people.
451
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.160
How confident do you feel about that prediction by our
452
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:43.960
friend Gordon.
453
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:47.480
Chang, Well, he has a good track record, And I've
454
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.279
been following him for years and I know him, and
455
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:54.039
he's a fine analyst. He's always been very He's always
456
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:56.559
taken a risk in his analysis, like Peter Prie did,
457
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:00.000
but he's been proven right time and time and time
458
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:02.440
and time again when everyone else was saying he was wrong.
459
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.839
So the key to defeating us if you're a foreign
460
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:10.519
adversary is not to not to fight us ship for
461
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.240
ship or missile to missile, but get us where we're weak,
462
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.079
to defeat us without having to fight us. That's been
463
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.799
Chinese military teaching for five thousand years.
464
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.880
It kind of seems like that's what's going on. It
465
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.400
comes to.
466
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.359
All the division in the MAGA America First Movement. You
467
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:31.079
know you got and is saying what Cannis Owens is saying.
468
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:33.880
You've got the murder of Charlie Kirk, you got groups
469
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:35.720
pitted against each other, you got the rise of this
470
00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:40.160
character Nick Fintees, You've got some very strange interviews being
471
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:42.359
done by Tucker Carlson not pushing back against some of
472
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:46.519
these people. And the movement is completely divided now, right,
473
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:50.119
And you have to wonder is anyone a foreign enemy
474
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:53.640
of any kind? Stirring up this controversy so that the
475
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.640
country is already divided. Countries we know has been divided
476
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:59.559
for a long time, but now we have the movement divided.
477
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.160
Of course, we're headed up to the midterms, and it
478
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.319
seems like that's the strategy, is to get us all demoralized.
479
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:08.119
You know, it wasn't at your bestment off that talked
480
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.160
about demoralized, the stabilized, chaos and then the new norm.
481
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.200
And it seems like the stabilization and the chaos is
482
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.359
everywhere and every day.
483
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.440
I'm sure you do. I mean, this is your job,
484
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.480
is my job.
485
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.799
Every day we get up seven days a week looking
486
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:24.920
to see what's going on in American around the world,
487
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:29.400
and trying to read what's happening. And I can't hate
488
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.359
to say it, but I just keep waiting for another
489
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:34.960
massive event in the country to destabilize us. And I
490
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:38.359
don't know if it's if the powers that be, the
491
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.000
people behind this, our enemies are foreign and domestic, have
492
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.880
decided it's a terrorist attack, or if they've decided it's
493
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:47.119
something that they can use to control us more with
494
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:51.160
more fear, like a pandemic again, a bio weapon, because boy,
495
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:54.160
the country is sure, sure closed up and people went
496
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.720
to mask and taking these COVID clot shots.
497
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.079
And everything else.
498
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:01.160
It seems to me that nothing scared people, and Hollywood
499
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:04.039
sure is prepared everybody with all the outbreak movies and
500
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:07.279
contagion movies, and that to me seems like the greatest
501
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.240
way to scare the living daylights out of people is
502
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:13.279
a bio weapons. So, in conclusion, mister Water, what keeps
503
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:13.960
you up at night?
504
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:18.160
You know, there is so much to worry about that
505
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.160
if you spend all your time worrying, you'd go crazy.
506
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:24.640
The thing is to look for solutions. So that's what
507
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:28.119
keeps me motivated, is to search for these solutions and
508
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:32.000
their niche solutions. They're not all big money, you know,
509
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:35.279
big industry solutions. And the upsetting part of it is
510
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.279
that because there's no money involved in a lot of
511
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.839
the solutions, you don't have lobbies for them. You don't
512
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.759
have senior officials trying to make their next career on them.
513
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:47.759
So and there's no training for thinking this way in
514
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.160
most cases. So a lot of the solutions are very simple.
515
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.920
Trump has taken some of those solutions on a big scale,
516
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.759
though with the mass deportations that has to be done.
517
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:58.440
He's entirely correct to be doing exactly what he's doing.
518
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:00.359
It's just a pity that we don't have the source
519
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.599
to do it even faster. He's gone to China and said,
520
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.279
knock off the fentanyl. We're viewing it as a military threat.
521
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.920
He's shown the Venezuelan regime and the cartel running that
522
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:13.039
regime and the whole rest of the world, if you're
523
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:15.279
going to be smuggling this stuff into our country, we're
524
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.079
going to finish you off. So he's been doing that.
525
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:20.079
A lot of his a lot of his policies have
526
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:24.319
stimied even his biggest supporters. He's wondering, what on earth
527
00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:26.920
is he doing? Why is he so erratic? Part of
528
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.960
that is Trump being Trump, but part of it is
529
00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:34.799
the threats against us are so various and they're so
530
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.559
so new that Trump is keeping the whole world unstable
531
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:42.640
wondering what he's going to do to them if they continue.
532
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:45.160
So in some ways, I think he's playing a mind game,
533
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.519
which that doesn't cost anything to do, and it's going
534
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:50.359
to be good for us. But if you look at
535
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:56.640
say Venezuela and capturing that tanker that wasn't a Venezuelan tanker.
536
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.960
That was a tanker owned by a Russian Ukrainian law
537
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.480
oil to the Kremlin, who is taking Venezuelan and Iranian
538
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:06.799
oil and selling it to China, so the proceeds can
539
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.000
go back to fund the Venezuelan regime, the Cuban communists
540
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:13.640
and the Iranian Revolutionary Garden has belap. So it's a
541
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.480
lot more than just seizing a Venezuela tanker. So what
542
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:19.480
keeps up keeps me up at night thinking of solutions
543
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:22.640
that will matter to the US. And so what we've
544
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.599
been able to do at the Center for Security Policy
545
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.240
is to contribute on a small scale to some of
546
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.240
these very niche solutions that the administration has been using.
547
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.400
Great answer, final question made me think of this while
548
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.359
you're talking. Do you believe the President should be doing
549
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.839
more oval office primetime addresses to the American people and
550
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.359
explaining to them some of the things you just said
551
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:46.519
right then about that oil tanker, what it.
552
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:47.720
Was doing, Who they are.
553
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.440
I just wondering if the President isn't educating the American people.
554
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.000
You know, I'm a teacher by nature. As far as
555
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.720
I like to teach, I think you know you're an author,
556
00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:58.480
you're an analyst.
557
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:00.000
My guess is you like to teach.
558
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:01.759
You go in and you analyze stuff, and then you
559
00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:04.599
teach it to people who are in the know, you know,
560
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.119
maybe in maybe even in closed door intel briefings, but
561
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:12.680
you're trying to teach them something. And so I'm always
562
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:16.319
looking at thinking is the president being the chief teacher
563
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:18.359
of the American people? Ronald Reagan used to do that
564
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:21.119
quite well, and he did a lot of oval office addresses,
565
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:25.000
and I just feared sometimes that this president isn't doing enough.
566
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.240
To read the teleprompter, stay on the prep prompter, don't
567
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.200
go off the prompter. Just deliver the message written by
568
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:35.480
your team to brief the American people to the internal
569
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:38.839
and external threats facing us and prepare us to be ready.
570
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:43.680
Just like that civilian took out that terrorist shooter in Australia,
571
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.960
we need more Americans that are prepared, that are you know,
572
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.640
if you can afford to go out and prep for
573
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.039
three months, six months worth of food and medicine and
574
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:55.079
extra gear, you know, stitches and sutures and things, you
575
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.400
should do that for your family. Because we're in a
576
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.480
very dangerous time and our critical infrastructures are at and
577
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:02.440
the more of you that are ready. The less stress
578
00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:04.960
is going to put on your local government first responders.
579
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:06.240
But then you're going to able to help.
580
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.240
Other people and be leaders in your community and help
581
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.200
the senior citizen that's a veteran, Help the lady that's
582
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:17.000
a you know, a widow, give be a cheerleader for
583
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.799
people being independent, you know, and rugged individualists. I just
584
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.200
sometimes wish he would explain to us that the without
585
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.160
you know, of course he can declassify what he wants,
586
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.480
but I just wish he, what times, would explain to
587
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.920
the American people the massive existential threats we're facing as
588
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.839
a country, not to panic us so we can prepare
589
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:37.119
and come out of it stronger and win.
590
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.519
Right, just to prepare us. But that's not who Donald
591
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:43.880
Trump is. He likes speaking off the cuff. That's who
592
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:46.079
he is, and that's that's how he is. If he
593
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:49.279
did not. Now you know, he's got his own alternate
594
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.480
media outlet with with Truth Social and he's on X
595
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:54.680
and on a lot of other different platforms, and he
596
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.799
uses the bully pulpit really well to suit the type
597
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.519
of person he is. But Reagan, who was a more
598
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:04.000
scripted guy as an actor, but he had what three
599
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.880
hundred of his weekly radio addresses, and the purpose of
600
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.000
that was to circumvent the major media and to force
601
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.480
them to report on things exactly the way he articulated them.
602
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.039
And you've just nailed to President Trump needs to do
603
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:21.000
that too, and if not him, other people speaking on
604
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:23.799
his behalf to come out and explain to the public
605
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:28.599
exactly what's going on in a calm, logical, organized way,
606
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:32.039
because right now, with so many people confused about well,
607
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:36.000
why why is he calling the Chinese domination of artificial
608
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.839
intelligence an existential threat to America while he's agreeing to
609
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:43.519
sell Nvidia chips to the Chinese Communist Party? Makes no sense.
610
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:45.799
What is the reasoning for it? So he has to
611
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:47.279
come out and really explain.
612
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:48.319
That absolutely well.
613
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:50.880
America is a great place in many regards, no doubt
614
00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:54.160
about it. Ronald Reagan concluded his first a inaugural address
615
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:57.519
was with talking about Americans and solving our problems, and
616
00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:58.920
he said, you know, after all, we can do this
617
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.599
because after oh, we are Americans, and I just think
618
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:04.960
it's time to rally, particular with our two hund and fiftieth
619
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:10.160
birthday coming up. The rally around that inform patriotism, acknowledging
620
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:13.680
the threats foreign and domestic, and ask Americans to rise
621
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.400
to the occasion that we are a government of the people,
622
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:18.519
by the people for the people, that we are to
623
00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:23.960
give consent. The government doesn't isn't our master. We are
624
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.599
to be its master, and we the people should be
625
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:30.200
an active citizenry, working in concert with those that we
626
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:31.319
have given agency to.
627
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:32.240
On our behalf.
628
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.160
And yet I feel like so much of the time
629
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:37.559
Americans are sitting here, mother may I and you know
630
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.759
with the wrong mentality that we should be working as
631
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:45.319
business owners, as parents, as police officers, as school teachers,
632
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.000
as pastors, as rabbis, in concert with our local, local,
633
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.039
and state and federal officials who answer to us. But
634
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.359
we should be there to work in concert together to
635
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:57.759
solve these problems, and then to be ready to be
636
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:03.279
mobilized individually, independently as we see needed in our communities.
637
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.440
Because I think, unfortunately, I think we are going to
638
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.400
see events like October seventh in America. I think we're
639
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:11.720
going to see things like this happen in Australia. I
640
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:15.119
think they're the real potential for massive problems with our
641
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.039
critical infrastructure.
642
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:18.079
Is very, very real.
643
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.559
But I also think it's something we can get through
644
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:24.319
as Americans together if we're prepared and organized and networking
645
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:27.279
with each other. But I just don't see the civil
646
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:29.359
I guess we're kind of going back to World War two,
647
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.079
you know, the kind of civil commands, you know, where
648
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.960
you would have someone in your area that knew what
649
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:36.839
was going on and organize people, because, like Reagan said,
650
00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.119
after all, we're Americans. We can get through pretty much
651
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.920
anything if we're told the truth and told how to
652
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.079
prepare and what's expected of us.
653
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.160
When these things happened, posing comment.
654
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.440
Well, you nailed it there, But this was at a
655
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:52.839
time when people trusted their authorities, they trusted the government,
656
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:56.240
they had civil discourse amongst themselves. And now we're talking
657
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:58.799
You hear all this talk about civil war and oh good,
658
00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.759
somebody was murdered and and isn't that great? And can't
659
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.960
wait for the rest of them to get you know,
660
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.920
all this really sick stuff that you don't have people
661
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.400
coming together like they used to before. And even with
662
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:12.039
COVID where the public did come together, we soon realized
663
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:16.400
we're being scammed and somebody's covering up for the perpetrators
664
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.519
of all of this. Against us, so we've become a
665
00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:22.599
very low trust environment. But there is something you mentioned
666
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:26.519
the twenty two hundred and fifteth anniversary of America. Only
667
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:29.199
a third of the American public support of the American Revolution,
668
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:32.679
a third of it was loyal to the crown, and
669
00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:34.239
the third of it just didn't care and wanted to
670
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.800
be left alone. So if the third that was actually fighting,
671
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:41.039
it was dispersed all over the place. And you had
672
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:43.480
just a few men who got together to start the
673
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.920
Continental Congress at huge personal expense, but they assumed the
674
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:52.239
risk on their own. They were going to lose their
675
00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.159
property and they were all going to hang if they
