10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,079
is being played right now about the Signal Group chat

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,719
scandal quote unquote Democrats. As you heard at the end

12
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:49,640
of the last hour with the call from Alex, Democrats

13
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:56,079
are demanding that Republicans be better than Democrats and the

14
00:00:56,119 --> 00:01:00,799
standards that Democrats set, that's what they're saying, be better

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,560
than us and the standards we set. Because you guys

16
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:10,920
complained about Hillary Clinton's emails, and you guys said she

17
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,480
should be prosecuted, classified material was compromised, all of those charges,

18
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:20,799
all of those accusations, right, all the investigations, and you

19
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,239
guys made all of this big deal about it. So

20
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:29,159
therefore you need to do the same thing with your guy, right,

21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,120
But you guys said it wasn't a big deal. You

22
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:35,120
guys let her off the hook. You guys blamed the

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,239
FBI for her loss because they dared to look at

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,680
the transgressions, which I have said from the very beginning.

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,120
The smoking gun is the existence of the server that

26
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,599
was the smoking gun, and everybody pretended like it wasn't.

27
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680
And when you sit back and you watch the way

28
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:04,799
that unfolded, and you're not a Democrat, you start to

29
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:07,280
wonder why should I even play by the old set

30
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,800
of rules. And that's how you got Donald Trump. It is.

31
00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:16,639
You may not want to hear it, but that's the truth.

32
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Let me read a couple of emails here. This is

33
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:31,360
from Tony who says security breach subject line it's a peatmeal.

34
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,520
He says they should have just said we made a

35
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,159
mistake and we'll fix it. Don't defend it. Can't believe

36
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:42,439
you're defending this with what about the Democrats? Integrity still

37
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:46,439
matters to me, regardless of what the new standard is. No, Tony,

38
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,039
that's fine. I don't actually believe I've defended them using

39
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,719
the signal chat because I don't know what all was

40
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,680
said in the signal chat. I did say last hour

41
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,879
that they probably should not have been using that app.

42
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:05,680
But the reason why, I will point out the reason

43
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:10,240
why they were using the app is apparently, like everybody

44
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,560
in Washington uses signal, they are all communicating with each

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,879
other in this encrypted service. But that the use of

46
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:27,680
this platform became more prevalent. According to the Associated Press,

47
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,680
the use of signal became more prevalent during the final

48
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,840
year of the Biden administration. Do you know why because

49
00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:42,560
federal law enforcement officials warned that China and Iran were

50
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,719
hacking the White House as well as officials in the

51
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:53,599
first Trump administration. So the first Trump administration was being

52
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:03,039
hacked by China and Iran. And last year then the

53
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:07,879
use of signal became more prevalent because that news, that

54
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,719
information was divulged. That's why they're using it. They don't

55
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,360
trust our own government security apparatus, and why should they.

56
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,360
By the way, seriously, again, I'm not advocating that the

57
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:27,879
people on the group chat did nothing wrong. I have

58
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,439
not said that. I don't know what they did. However,

59
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,160
I can understand why they would not trust the American

60
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:41,680
intelligence community considering the track record that the intel community

61
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,879
has with regards to the Trump administration pretty clear. That

62
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,920
record is very clear. Also, when Donald Trump has phone

63
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:56,879
calls with foreign leaders, they somehow end up being used

64
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,079
against him for an impeachment trial. Well, that's the kind

65
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,600
of bunker mentality that the people in the Trump world have.

66
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,839
I understand that. I believe. I also said last hour

67
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,879
that they should have been engaged in this kind if

68
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,959
it's if they were discussing classified information, they should have

69
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:19,879
been doing it in a skiff. They did not. That's

70
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,560
a problem, same sort of problem that Hillary Clinton had.

71
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:27,399
But again, y'all set a standard that it didn't matter.

72
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,920
But now you want the other side to adhere to

73
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:37,879
a standard that you yourselves do not adhere to. And

74
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:40,879
so what you're saying that you guys have higher standards

75
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,800
than us, so you should live by them. You guys

76
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,839
said that you thought she did something wrong, so you

77
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,720
know you should maintain that position and will maintain the

78
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,199
position that it's all fine when we do it. So

79
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,519
that you're asking, you're demanding actually unilateral disarmament in the fight,

80
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:06,240
and whatever you think about Trump World, they are not

81
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,639
going to do that. They're just not. Again, I tried

82
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,800
to warn people. I tried to warn you Democrats that

83
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,240
this was the path that you were embarking on, and

84
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,720
you didn't care. It's the same thing as the filibuster,

85
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,040
exact same thing. It's the same thing as packing the

86
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,079
US Supreme Court, which, by the way, have you noticed

87
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,439
nobody seems to care about anymore. On the left, they

88
00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:36,160
were demanding that the Supreme Court be expanded so they

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,560
could stick a bunch of new justices on the bench

90
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,160
so they could then rule in perpetuity and get what

91
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:47,639
they want through the court system. They demanded that we

92
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,839
blow up the filibuster so they no longer have to

93
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:55,600
listen to the forty Republican senators forty one Republican senators,

94
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,160
and then they know, this way they can get through

95
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,560
whatever they want to get through as soon as they

96
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,759
got a fit. Do you want seat majority in the

97
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,319
US Senate? You don't hear about that anymore. See your standards, guys,

98
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,839
you're the norm destroyers, you guys are Let me jump

99
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:17,240
over and chat with Stan. Hello, Stan, Welcome.

100
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,839
Speaker 2: To the show. How are you doing?

101
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on?

102
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: I'm well that's awesome. You know what I want to

103
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,079
talk with you about is basically the laws that they

104
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,480
write and this is what I've thought for years by

105
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,240
laws that they write. The laws sound good like campaign

106
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,879
financial form. Okay, we don't want money in politics, so

107
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,160
we'll do campaign financial form. The only problem is it

108
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,519
was never intended to be enforced both ways. So with

109
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:44,639
most of the regulations that we accepted, what they write

110
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,439
sounds good because they control the media, what gets reported

111
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,319
and what gets out there, and because they have enough

112
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,800
judges they can go dug shopping with. Basically, what they've

113
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,399
done is they've run the other side down for years.

114
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,319
Now what we got to buy in the White House

115
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,000
is fighting for us. They're actually seeing what we've seen

116
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:04,759
for a long time.

117
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think. I mean, that's the problem

118
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,480
with writing any kind of law is you can never

119
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,240
predict every circumstance. And lawyers and special interests who helped

120
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:19,480
to write the laws, or in some cases do write

121
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,399
the laws, they carve out the loopholes for themselves, right,

122
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:25,120
so they know how to take advantage of this stuff.

123
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:28,639
So that's a problem with any law at every level.

124
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: So then what happened is most of the law making

125
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:37,720
body basically loses some of itself because at some point

126
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:44,159
we no longer lend that any credibility, So we just

127
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,360
don't follow the law. That's the place you don't want

128
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:47,679
to go down. You don't want to go down. You

129
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,559
don't want to go down that road, right, which.

130
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:51,879
Speaker 1: Is what the whole system is based on, is the

131
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:56,919
rule of law being applied equally. And if people have

132
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,200
no expectation of that, then yeah, then people see to

133
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,879
follow the law.

134
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you do not want to live decided where

135
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,039
that happened?

136
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: No, No, I talk about it often. Yeah, Stan, I

137
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,000
appreciate the call, sir. Yeah, man, you too. Let me

138
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:16,840
see here. This is from Bob, who says, uh, come on, Pete.

139
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,960
You know it's different when Democrats do it. It's and uh.

140
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,960
Joseph says, the Biden administration approved signal for use by

141
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,399
government officials. I want to know who has Jeffrey Goldberg

142
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,679
in their contacts though, because they would be out and

143
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,960
I mean of everything cardboard box and friendly escort out

144
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,840
the door, right. Yeah, I want to know who has

145
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:47,159
Jeffrey Goldberg in their contacts. That's that's a concern for

146
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:51,799
me and DS. Jeff says, have we finally found something

147
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:55,799
upon which Democrats can pounce and seize? I believe so.

148
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,879
I believe we are witnessing pouncing and seizing. I do

149
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,639
to Claia all right, So spring is here a time

150
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,519
of renewal and celebrations. You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries and

151
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,120
the special days for mom and dad. Your family's making

152
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,159
memories that are going to last a lifetime. But let

153
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:15,200
me ask you are all of those treasured moments from

154
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:18,440
days gone by? Are they hidden away on old VCR tapes,

155
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:23,679
eight millimeter films, photos slides? Are they preserved? Because over time,

156
00:10:23,759 --> 00:10:27,679
these precious memories can fade and deteriorate, losing the magic

00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:18,600
things can be true. Michael Waltz, the National Security Advisor

170
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:26,279
and his team screwed up. Also, Jeffrey Goldberg is a

171
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,480
snake who mischaracterizes and gas lights to score political points.

172
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:35,519
So release every word of the messages and let us

173
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:40,720
read it for ourselves, Like, I feel like that's what

174
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:44,200
should occur. And if you can't do that, then that's

175
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,600
going to indicate that there was classified stuff being discussed

176
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,799
in there, and then address that somehow or just say, oh,

177
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,840
you know what, we fat fingered it invited the guy

178
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,240
didn't mean to. We found out what happened. We're moving on. Sorry,

179
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,679
and that's it. And then and let democrats and media,

180
00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:06,159
you know, continue to blow a gasket. I guess. Jim,

181
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,720
Welcome to the program. Hello, Jim good Hi, Hell are

182
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,399
you hey? I'm good man, I'm sorry, Yeah, what's up.

183
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been kind of listening to this stuff I

184
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,279
heard last night. I've been watching on TV off and on.

185
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,039
I was in the military. I was in public affairs

186
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:23,000
and I worked around a lot of generals from the

187
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:26,600
High level people traveled on your plans, went places with them.

188
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,759
These high level people, you know a lot of times

189
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:32,639
they get on a conference call or something, somebody has

190
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:34,840
already got it arranged and all they do is say general,

191
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,039
pick up the phone, right, and so and so and

192
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,559
sos on it. They don't do all that stuff themselves.

193
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,879
Speaker 1: No, of course sometimes, Yeah, I've done interviews with people

194
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,519
like that, and yeah, you talk to their person first,

195
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:49,279
and right before you go live, they hand the phone

196
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:50,960
over to the guy that you're going to be interviewing.

197
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,720
They don't sit on the officials don't sit on hold

198
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,200
during the newscast waiting to do the live shot.

199
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,159
Speaker 3: Who I don't know something, who knows the JG thing.

200
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,399
I've heard several things about that that that may may

201
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,480
even thought of somebody else that they were supposed to

202
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,679
send it to. But you know, when when when Pete

203
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,799
has just picks up the phone or in whatever, what

204
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:17,240
he's going to do. And I use signal myself, And

205
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:19,440
one reason I've used it for years is because I

206
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,480
learned when I was in the military. It's a it's

207
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,080
a good you know, it's a good source used. And

208
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,519
I don't use I mean, I use local stuff, you know,

209
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,320
but I don't know that I use for more private things.

210
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,519
What really bothers me is is a person who's worked

211
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,039
with media, local high people all over the place in

212
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,279
my twenty something years in the military, was that guy

213
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:46,639
Goldberg should have not done what he did. He should

214
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:49,519
have called the Pentagon and said, you guys are sending

215
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,080
me some information. I don't know if it's good or bad.

216
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,759
He should have back during World War two career or

217
00:13:56,799 --> 00:14:00,879
even Vietnam, that crap would have never happened. And it

218
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,639
just shows how the media has changed so much. It

219
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,679
does he's a traitor by doing what he did, So it.

220
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Does raise a question that that raises a question that

221
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,279
I've seen in being discussed in media circles, is you know,

222
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,559
one view that you just articulated is that when you

223
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,480
realize you are in this group and you shouldn't be

224
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,360
in the group, then you should leave the group because

225
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,080
if it is real you don't have you don't have

226
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,879
clearance to be in that group, it's obviously a mistake

227
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,039
or it's a scam, and so you should get out

228
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,840
of the group because you don't want to get scammed.

229
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,840
So the fact that he stayed in the group, even

230
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,559
though he claims that he didn't think it was real.

231
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,080
Why would you stay in that group? Can't you just

232
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:47,279
get out of the group. Can't you just leave? Of

233
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:51,000
course you can't. So Yeah, and I don't know what

234
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,519
I would have done if I had been invited into

235
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:56,240
the group, but I probably would have said, am I

236
00:14:56,279 --> 00:14:59,240
supposed to be in this? That's probably what I would

237
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,240
have said, because like I had a rule that I

238
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:05,879
would not break laws in order to get stories. That

239
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,879
was one of my rules.

240
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:10,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was an eavesdropper. I mean, what can

241
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:11,240
I say?

242
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:11,759
Speaker 1: Yeah?

243
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:13,519
Speaker 3: He should have. Yeah, you should have hung up. You

244
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,120
should have called the Pentagon and say, uh, somehow I

245
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,360
got on this. Instead he turned around. And that's so.

246
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:22,120
You know, I'm an old baby boomer, so maybe this

247
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,720
is really Unamerican to me. But it really burned me up,

248
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:30,320
and probably more because I've been level with three four

249
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,399
star generals and traveled with them, and you know, I

250
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,799
know the routines and stuff and high level people like

251
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:41,559
that or it is around them, and it just bothers

252
00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:48,039
me that that guy didn't He made things really worse.

253
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,879
He could have called the Pentagon and said, somehow I

254
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:53,279
got on this. Yeah, you need to let him know. Now,

255
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,679
if it was a Democrat, he probably would have done that.

256
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might ever sat on the information or just

257
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:01,679
thought that I was supposed to be in there because

258
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,600
I get invited to all of these group chats. Uh. Yeah,

259
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,759
that's it, Jim. I appreciate the call, sir, and thank

260
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:09,200
you for your service. We appreciate it.

261
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,039
Speaker 2: Sure, all right, take care.

262
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean I've seen people argue over the

263
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,120
last twenty four hours, you know in media circles. Oh,

264
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:24,320
you would have done the same thing that Jeffrey Goldberg did.

265
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,399
You would have sat in there and you would have

266
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,799
you know, eves dropped in and gotten this information too.

267
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,600
That's that. Okay. Well, if if you if you are

268
00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:41,000
a journalist or reporter, and you are making that assertion,

269
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,879
you're making that argument that any reporter, if they got

270
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,200
invited in, that they would stay, and that's what I

271
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:54,399
would do too. Right, then, like you're already like you're

272
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,919
already sort of undermining any kind of moral authority there

273
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,399
because you're not supposed to have access to that information

274
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:04,799
either the fact that you were invited in, like you

275
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,400
could have left and then it wouldn't have been a story, right,

276
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:11,519
But you stayed and you made it a story. You

277
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:13,279
made yourself the story. And that's also one of the

278
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,359
things they teach you in journalism school is you're not

279
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,240
supposed to be the story. But Jeffrey Goldberg stayed, and

280
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:22,359
he claims he only stayed because he thought it was

281
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,559
all a scam, which why would you stay if it's

282
00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:30,799
a scam? That doesn't add up to me either. And

283
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:37,200
by the way, I have gone in to virtual meetings

284
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,880
and stuff organizers, union and activist organizers and stuff, and

285
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,920
I always go in with my real name, And if

286
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,359
you want to kick me out, you go right ahead

287
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,119
and kick me out. I have never been kicked out though.

288
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,279
Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to

289
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:54,799
a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.

290
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,079

310
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,559
Our pal Kurt Schlichter, retired US Army colonel columnist over

311
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,200
at town hall dot com as well. He says the

312
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:18,480
Signaled Chat story is a gut check for alleged cons Conservatives.

313
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,440
He says nothing significant was revealed. Worst case, it was

314
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,640
a mistake that will never happen again. More likely, a

315
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,240
proven liar has now lied about at least some of it,

316
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,880
that being Jeffrey Goldberg. And yet so many people are

317
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,039
delighted to have the opportunity to freak out about something

318
00:19:36,079 --> 00:19:40,000
that Trump, that the Trump administration did. It's bizarre, by

319
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:42,799
the way, hang on, let me jump over and read

320
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,039
this message that I got from Russ. It's about that

321
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,799
very thing. And Russ points out how it's kind of

322
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:54,200
weird that callers Alex, Tom, Tony, Mike, at all, those

323
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,680
types of callers come out of the woodwork on bad

324
00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:01,200
news days for Trump, Republicans, Conservatives, etc. But are totally

325
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:06,480
absent on any good news news days or bad news days.

326
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,559
It's almost like they're all seminar callers or paid opposition callers.

327
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,319
It's funny, Russ that you mentioned that, because I literally

328
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359
said the same thing during one of the breaks. You

329
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:26,200
only hear from them on days like this otherwise, because

330
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:31,079
all they are is the resistance. All they are is

331
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,680
in attack mode. That's all they know. It's very difficult,

332
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,319
you know, to make positive cases in support of a thing.

333
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,839
It's much easier to attack and so that's what they do.

334
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,519
And Richard wants to know a big question for me

335
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,480
is why did somebody have that reporter's contact info in

336
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,720
their rolodex? Yeah, I agree, I said the same thing.

337
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,359
I would like to know, like, who's set that up?

338
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,240
And why is Jeffrey Goldberg in your contacts? List back

339
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:09,559
to Kurt Schlickter's post. He says, it is bizarre how

340
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,400
so many people who are delighting to have the opportunity

341
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,559
to freak out about something Trump or his administration did.

342
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:20,440
It's bizarre how they play along with leftist narratives. The

343
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:25,559
answer to your enemies is to give them nothing nothing.

344
00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:31,319
You're not being principled, you're not demonstrating integrity, You're showing weakness.

345
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,759
Never ever give them the head of one of your allies.

346
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,480
Understand that your enemies never get anything except pain and mockery.

347
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,359
There's no such thing as even handedness. Either win or lose.

348
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,039
I choose winning. This is where we are. I've been

349
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:58,880
warning about this. Nobody wants to believe me. This is

350
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:05,400
where we are. Though, along the lines of people being

351
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:12,440
outraged at things being discussed in private, did you see

352
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,799
this story over at the Charlotte Observer. I mean, first

353
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:18,960
you'd have to have a subscription. But yeah, So apparently

354
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:22,000
the Charlotte City Council is doing something that I have

355
00:22:22,079 --> 00:22:25,480
a bit of experience with, by the way, not me personally,

356
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:32,799
but I watched it happen up in Asheville, where they

357
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:37,279
would do these same kinds of small meetings. They called

358
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:39,359
them what they call it like one on ones or

359
00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:44,400
three on ones or three no, not three ways, two

360
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,440
on ones or something like that. Essentially, it was the

361
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,519
county manager, her name was Wanda Green, and she would

362
00:22:53,640 --> 00:23:00,440
meet in these small groups of the county commissioners. Believe

363
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,279
there are seven of them, and so she would meet

364
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:05,400
with I think they call them three on one. So

365
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,599
she would have like three commissioners come in and she

366
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,319
would talk to them about stuff on the agenda, about

367
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,599
whatever business had to be discussed. Then they would leave,

368
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:19,039
and then another group of three would come in. She

369
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:21,680
would talk with them, and then she would have a

370
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,559
side conversation with the chairman. And you think, well, why

371
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:29,880
would you do that. That's so inefficient. You've got now

372
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,519
three meetings instead of just one. Ah. See, if you

373
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,519
have a meeting where a majority of the board is present.

374
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:40,880
Now you have to follow the open meetings laws, and

375
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,039
so they didn't want to do that. Now it turns

376
00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:45,400
out Wanda Green had a bit of an ulterior motive

377
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,960
in doing this, because she would she would lie to

378
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:55,000
different groups and pit them against each other in an

379
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:58,480
effort to distract their attention away from the fact that

380
00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:02,880
she was embezzling millions of dollars from the county. She

381
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440
went to federal prison and then COVID let her out.

382
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,640
But yeah, like that's that's why you do that, is

383
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,079
so you can control the information flow. And our Charlotte

384
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,400
City Council has been doing the same thing. I'm not

385
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,119
alleging any kind of illegal activity or anything. I'm not

386
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,240
saying there's any embezzlement. I'm just saying these little meetings

387
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,839
are occurring, and council members may think that they are

388
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,720
getting a benefit in having these one on ones and

389
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,680
not having to adhere to open meetings law and all that,

390
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,960
But you don't know how you may be getting manipulated. Also,

391
00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:46,559
you don't know what other questions other council members are asking.

392
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:50,640
It's like a press conference versus a one on one interview.

393
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,279
If I sit down for a one on one interview

394
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:57,039
with somebody, I may not think of all the questions.

395
00:24:57,039 --> 00:24:58,880
In fact, I guarantee I'm not going to think of

396
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,440
all the questions because I'm only one person with only

397
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,279
one and a half brains. It's a long story. But

398
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,839
if you've got a news conference and you've got twenty

399
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:15,000
reporters there, you're gonna get lots of questions that every

400
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,640
people hadn't thought of. And if I ask a question

401
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,839
and I'm satisfied with the answer, another reporter might not

402
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,519
be satisfied with that answer, ask a follow up and

403
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:30,640
get more information. So this is what's been going on

404
00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:34,759
at the Charlotte City council level. Meetings not announced, not

405
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,720
open to the public, and they fall into the category

406
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,720
of a small group gathering, which does not officially meet

407
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:44,640
the attendant's threshold, which is a majority of council members,

408
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,319
so they don't have to declare a public meeting under

409
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,799
the state's open meetings law. The law says that any

410
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,680
gathering of a majority of members of a public body

411
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,720
in person or virtual, must be announced to the public

412
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,319
and open to the public if they are conducting public business.

413
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,599
The city says that its small group meetings are conducted

414
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,799
quote in accordance with applicable law. Well yeah, but if

415
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:15,720
you keep it under half of the body, then there

416
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:20,599
isn't an applicable law. You don't have to have it open. Notably,

417
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:27,160
the law authorizes counsel to interact informally and socially without

418
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,079
the construct of the Open Meetings Law, exempting such gatherings

419
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,319
and events from the notice, public access and minutes requirements

420
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,400
of official meetings of public bodies, according to the city

421
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,720
in a statement to the Charlotte Observer, but some still

422
00:26:42,799 --> 00:26:47,559
question the legality of the small groups case. Law on

423
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,119
the subject is limited, but it can be a tactic

424
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:56,880
for officials to evade transparency. According to Mike Tadisch, who

425
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,079
specializes in media law, well, that's exactly what it does.

426
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:05,720
It's sort of like Hillary Clinton's email server. That's the

427
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:08,039
reason why you have the server is so you can

428
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:10,599
wipe it like with a cloth, and then nobody can

429
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:13,720
ever retrieve any of the classified material that you were

430
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,680
sending through your server. All right, if you're listening to

431
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,240
this show, you know I try to keep up with

432
00:27:18,279 --> 00:27:20,400
all sorts of current events, and I know you do too,

433
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:23,079
and you've probably heard me say get your news from

434
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,720
multiple sources. Why. Well, because it's how you detect media bias,

435
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:30,359
which is why I've been so impressed with ground News.

436
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,119
It's an app, and it's a website, and it combines

437
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,240
news from around the world in one place, so you

438
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:39,640
can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it

439
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:44,200
out at check dot ground, dot news slash pete. I

440
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:47,160
put the link in the podcast description too. I started

441
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,920
using ground News a few months ago and more recently

442
00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:52,079
chose to work with them as an affiliate because it

443
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,000
lets me see clearly how stories get covered and by whom.

444
00:27:56,279 --> 00:27:59,200
The blind spot feature shows you which stories get ignored

445
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,160
by the left and the right. See for yourself. Check

Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it

450
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,000
also supports ground News as they make the media landscape

451
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,799
more transparent. A couple of messages I have gotten over

452
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:26,880
the course of the show today suggesting that the signal

453
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,359
gate was some sort of a trap. I don't buy that.

454
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,200
I don't believe that it was a trap to catch

455
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,720
Goldberg or something like that. I've seen no evidence to

456
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:42,440
support that theory. I'm not saying it. I know that

457
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,279
to not be true. I'm just saying there's no evidence

458
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:47,880
to support that. All right, let me go over and

459
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,920
talk with Joy. Hello, Joy, welcome to the show.

460
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: Hey, how are you today?

461
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm good. What's going on?

462
00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:57,039
Speaker 4: I just think that, you know, there's a lot of

463
00:28:57,079 --> 00:28:59,519
talk about things and whether you know things are going

464
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:01,720
to happen. Understand that it should not have happened with

465
00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:08,440
the leak, but after things happen, I think people need

466
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:14,480
to own up to the responsibilities and also not make

467
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,599
light of the responsibilities. And I see that with Musk

468
00:29:19,759 --> 00:29:24,599
and with Trump. No matter who you're for, you don't

469
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:28,240
make light of it and say about putting an article

470
00:29:28,279 --> 00:29:31,319
in the Atlantic and nobody would see it and laugh

471
00:29:31,359 --> 00:29:34,359
about it. It's not a joking matter at all. And

472
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:40,400
that's what I thought the administration. For things happen, but

473
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,240
you need to be responsible for it, on up to it,

474
00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:45,559
and certainly don't make jokes about it.

475
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Joy, I appreciate the call. Okay, thank right, Yep,

476
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:56,640
take care. Joy's reference there is I think it was

477
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:03,839
Babylon B the satire website, parody website. I think it was.

478
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I think it was a Babylon B headline that they said, uh,

479
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,519
you know, they leaked the battle plans to the Atlantic

480
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,960
knowing that nobody would see them or something. And and

481
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,680
then I don't know who, somebody shared it or liked

482
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,920
it or something on Twitter, probably Elon Musk. I don't

483
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,400
even know if Trump does anything on Twitter anymore. He

484
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,720
prefers his own you know, social media platform, truth social

485
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,720
So yeah, so he retweeted that or whatever. So Joy

486
00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:34,839
doesn't like the fact that they're making light of it. Look,

487
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,920
as I said, all the what's the old axiom, it's

488
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,640
not the crime, it's the cover up, right, And the

489
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,839
way that it's being handled is probably going to give

490
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,039
more fuel to the fire for people that are looking

491
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,599
for more fuel. That's all they want is more fuel,

492
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,119
more fuel. This is now got all their attention, all

493
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,839
their focus is because they're going to try to leverage

494
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,200
it to stein me anything else that Trump tries to

495
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,599
do with regard to the DoD and the intelligence agencies

496
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,519
and everything else. We are in a game right now

497
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:13,319
of running out the clock. That is what democrats and media.

498
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:15,640
But I repeat myself, are attempting to do at the

499
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,720
courts right with hundreds of lawsuits filed. The point is

500
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:27,759
not to prevent that's gravy. The point is to stall, right,

501
00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:31,799
that's the purpose. It's to delay as much as possible

502
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,680
until you can get close enough to the next election

503
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:37,000
so he won't be able to then resume what he

504
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:39,799
wants to do. That's what's going on here. I've got

505
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,319
a whole topic on this, and I was thinking I

506
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:43,720
would do it today, but I ran out of time,

507
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:50,640
so we'll do it tomorrow. But that's what this latest

508
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,759
quote scandal, this signal gate stuff, that's what this is

509
00:31:54,799 --> 00:31:57,519
designed to do. They're going to have, you know, demand

510
00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:00,000
hearings and everything else. But Democrats do not control Congus

511
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,799
and so it's going to be very difficult for them

512
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,599
to actually try to get something like that done because

513
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Republicans are They're going to take whatever excuse, whatever explanation

514
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:14,920
comes out of the intelligence agencies. And as with Democrats,

515
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:20,519
by the way, they both do it. And I'm sorry,

516
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:23,920
but I like I don't have a lot of tolerance

517
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,960
for lefties that ignored all of the transgression. For example,

518
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,880
if you were if you're on the left, and you

519
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,319
ever used the words cheap fake in relation to Joe

520
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,519
Biden's cognitive decline. I don't care what you have to

521
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:50,480
say about this. It doesn't matter to me because your

522
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:54,359
booze mean nothing because I have seen what you cheer

523
00:32:54,400 --> 00:33:01,240
for a right? Yeah, why not close it out? You

524
00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:04,000
got about uh we got a forty five seconds, Tony?

525
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:06,759
How are you, sir? Good to hear from you today?

526
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah? How you doing today? Pete?

527
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good.

528
00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: Hey, look looks like the JB squad is playing on

529
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:12,599
this one.

530
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,799
Speaker 4: Hey, you know what heck?

531
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,039
Speaker 2: When you got a womanize an alcoholic as a defense secretary.

532
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,759
Speaker 3: And then a womanizer and fraud as the president, you

533
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,319
can't expect much more.

534
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 4: So, I mean, is what it is?

535
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:28,319
Speaker 1: All right? Okay? So you shouldn't expect it either. Then

536
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,279
you shouldn't expect more either.

537
00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: Then, Hey, I believe me, I don't okay?

538
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: So why do you care?

539
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:34,759
Speaker 2: So?

540
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: All right? So why do you care enough to why

541
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,319
do you care enough to call? What's the purpose of

542
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:40,599
your Call's?

543
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,079
Speaker 4: What do you mean?

544
00:33:41,079 --> 00:33:41,839
Speaker 3: What's the purpose of it?

545
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,839
Speaker 1: What's the purpose of your call? If you will, if

546
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,640
you don't expect anything better? The comment I'll tell you

547
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,839
the purpose of my call is to comment on the

548
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,960
dumb founders of the of the administration that's running the country.

549
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: Now.

550
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:54,559
Speaker 2: That's all you know. And the thing about it is,

551
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,559
you guys always want to go back to what Biden

552
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,440
was this Widy's not president anymore?

553
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: Wait, what are you serious? I had no idea. Oh

554
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,079
my gosh, Joe Biden is not president anymore. Thank you

555
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,280
very much, Tony. I appreciate the enlightenment on that. Wo Man,

556
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,280
I had no idea Joe Biden wasn't president any longer.

557
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,880
I mean, I feel like I follow this stuff pretty closely,

558
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:19,559
but that one just plumme evated me. All right, that'll

559
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:22,239
