And again, thank you so much for 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,320 your support. And now it all makes sense. If it 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,240 seemed like the previous administration was governing as if they 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,840 were whacked out on drugs. Now it makes sense because 12 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:49,359 there is a former Democratic National Committee DNC insider, big 13 00:00:49,399 --> 00:00:55,000 time fundraiser for the DNC who has defected basically from 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,119 the party. Her name is Lyndy Lee. She's been going 15 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:03,560 on all these different podcasts talking to all these different 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,359 people about all these different things. And what she told 17 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:13,680 what she said in the latest podcast, which was with 18 00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:18,480 I think his name is Sean Ryan. Yeah, Sean Ryan, 19 00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:20,840 and I've seen his podcast. It's like a three hour 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,200 conversation that he does with people. And what she said 21 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:33,000 was that after the Biden performance, after Joe Biden's terrible 22 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:40,359 performance in the June debate, Hunter took over. That's who's 23 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,359 been in charge, and probably before that too. But now 24 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,840 it all makes sense Matt Margolis writing at PG Media. 25 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,680 Now we know why, or sorry, now we know who 26 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,879 was running the country for Joe Biden. Quote. Have you 27 00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:02,560 noticed how leftist at losing their minds over Elon Musk's 28 00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:07,640 Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE to expose rampant waste 29 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,879 and corruption. While as Musk uncover shocking levels of mismanagement 30 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,919 and even actions aiding America's enemies, critics have launched coordinated 31 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,240 attacks on him, implying that he's the one who's actually 32 00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:24,719 running the White House. And they say, nobody voted for 33 00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,879 Elon Musk. Yeah, well nobody voted for doctor Jill Biden, 34 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,120 or doctor Jilson as I call her. It's a it's 35 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:39,560 an homage to Edith Wilson, who is the wife of 36 00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:45,240 Woodrow Wilson, who also assumed the powers of the presidency 37 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,240 even though she was not elected after her husband suffered 38 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,159 a stroke or a series of strokes. And she would 39 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,039 like sign his name to things like the act that 40 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:03,639 like the first Rasputin, like uh a surrogate president, and 41 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,439 I have no doubt. I am open to be persuaded, 42 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,120 but it's going to take a lot. I have no 43 00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,680 doubt that doctor Jill did the same thing with Joe, 44 00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:14,199 and I have no doubt that the half a dozen 45 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:17,879 people around him did the same thing. And people may ask, Pete, 46 00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,199 why are you talking about this? You know, the day 47 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,919 after the big game. Shouldn't you be talking about the commercials? 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Oh I had? The mustache one was hilarious, like, well, 49 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,919 which mustache one? Because like two different companies used flying 50 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,680 mustaches for some reason. I'm sure it is just coincidental. 51 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,240 But still, this is why it's because this to me, 52 00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,560 and I've said it before many times, this is the 53 00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:45,639 biggest presidential scandal of my lifetime and maybe ever. You 54 00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:50,120 had a president who was cognitively impaired, and you had 55 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:54,800 people around him that were running our government, and you 56 00:03:54,919 --> 00:04:02,280 had media that ran cover for that operation. And only 57 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120 after Joe Biden was out do we hear all of 58 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,240 these stories? You know, now the truth can be told 59 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:13,319 after they've they'd done all of these things, signing executive orders, 60 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,199 pushing billions and billions of dollars through the agencies to 61 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,560 the non governmental organizations and such just pushing your money 62 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,519 out the door to fund essentially themselves, the shadow government 63 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:35,240 that exists where these democrats and their allies they ensconce 64 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,639 themselves in these organizations that then live off of government 65 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,759 grants and their friends are the ones that right the grants, 66 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,560 and then when they win power, they just all pick 67 00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:51,959 up and move end moss back into the government offices. 68 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,600 It is a shadow government, and it is funded by us. 69 00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:04,120 And none of this is possible without a compliant allied media. 70 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,920 That's why this is a huge scandal. At least with Watergate, 71 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:15,199 you had media outfits and reporters that were outraged at 72 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,680 what was going on, and they reported on it and 73 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,399 they exposed the lies and everything else. But this time, no, 74 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,160 this time they had to protect the enfeebled leader in 75 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,439 order to keep making advances on a shared agenda. So 76 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,399 now Musk is in there, and now the left is 77 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:43,639 very concerned about somebody not elected running the government. The 78 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,519 same voices now wailing about Musk's alleged control were silent 79 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,680 when Joe spent four years clearly not running the White House. 80 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,279 If I can see it from way down here in Charlotte, 81 00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:02,519 how did the people bull who live in that area 82 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,120 not see it or not know, And the answer is, 83 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,079 of course that they did see it and they did know, 84 00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,600 and then of course we find out afterwards that yeah, 85 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,720 we knew, well, I didn't know it was that bad, 86 00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:13,319 and then you got other people that are like, oh, yeah, 87 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,839 we knew it was that bad. Everybody knew, they had 88 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,680 heard the rumors, and they chose not to pursue the rumors, 89 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,560 or they knew for sure and chose not to report it. 90 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:30,439 Why because Orange Man bead So Lindy Lee, once a 91 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,240 proud fundraiser for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Lee, has 92 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,000 now turned into an insider spilling the Democrat Party's most 93 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,240 closely held secrets. And boy does she have stories, says 94 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,160 Matt Margolis Or Margolis Her revelations pull back the curtain 95 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,560 on what has been described as a chaotic and delusional 96 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:54,759 twenty twenty four campaign for the Democrats, which spectacularly collapsed 97 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,279 under the weight of its own hubris. Back in December, 98 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,160 she told Fox News quote, the President has not been 99 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,360 cognitively fit to assume the duties of the Oval Office 100 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:07,680 for a number of years now, and it breaks my 101 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,160 heart because I know President Biden, and I love the man, 102 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:14,000 but he is in no shape or form able to 103 00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:16,879 carry out the duties that the commander in chief requires. 104 00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:22,360 And it's just devastating. And according to Lee, Joe Biden 105 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,639 effectively lost control of the White House after that June debate. 106 00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:34,240 That debate reportedly prompted a power shuffle at sixteen hundred 107 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:41,120 Pennsylvania Avenue one, spearheaded by none other than Hunter Biden. 108 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,720 Lee alleges that following Biden's disastrous debate drubbing, Hunter essentially 109 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,319 took over White House operations. Speaking with the show the 110 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,319 podcaster Sean Ryan, Lee painted a picture of dysfunction at 111 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,360 the highest levels of government. Quote after the CNN debate, 112 00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:09,959 Hunter basically commandeered the White House. He sat in on 113 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,399 all of the White House top level meetings. We had 114 00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:16,360 a former cocaine addict sitting in on the most sensitive 115 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,439 meetings of the most consequential and most important government in 116 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,319 world history. Does that sit right with you? And mind you, 117 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:30,079 Hunter Biden had no security clearances. This is all fine. 118 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,240 Elon Musk is the problem because he's showing us where 119 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:37,879 the waste fraud in corruption is right? All right? If 120 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,679 you're listening to this show.

This woman, who was 141 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,960 a former big time Democrat donor. Lindy Lee is her name. 142 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,799 She's now spilling the t Lee with the t oh 143 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,120 that could be your podcast. Maybe she probably already has 144 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,600 a podcast. So she's going around doing interviews talking about 145 00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:02,759 the sort of behind the curtain things that went on 146 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240 in the final months of the presidential race on the 147 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,080 Democrat side. I've heard several of her interviews over the 148 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,440 last few months, and like she I believe she ended 149 00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:19,519 up voting for Trump, but I don't recall specifically. She 150 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:26,000 may not have, but she became very disillusioned because after 151 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:29,440 the election she yet I think she did vote for Harris, 152 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,759 but like after the election, that's when she started hearing 153 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,399 that there were all of these concerns in these internal 154 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,759 polls that were showing Biden couldn't win nor could Harris, 155 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,279 and that when somebody went on the I think it 156 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,759 was the pod bros, the former Obama guys that like 157 00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:51,559 Pod Save America, and they talked about this like, oh, yeah, 158 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,440 we knew, we saw this polling and yeah we she 159 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,279 didn't have a chance and all this, and Lee was like, well, 160 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,000 wait a minute. As a big time Democrat fundraiser, I've 161 00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:04,279 been going around to people telling them that she could 162 00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:08,399 win and it wouldn't be a waste of money. And 163 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,320 I convinced people to give tens of millions of dollars, 164 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,960 and you lied to me in order to keep that 165 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,440 money flowing, even though you knew that she was trailing 166 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,279 very badly, but publicly you were telling us the opposite, 167 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,919 and two donors you were lying to us. So she 168 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,519 got very upset about all of that. She got upset 169 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:34,840 about Joe Biden, the cover up regarding him, and now 170 00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:40,679 she says that it was Hunter Biden that commandeered the 171 00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:48,720 White House operations after the June debate. She says that's 172 00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:53,039 who was basically running the show. Hunter basically battened down 173 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,840 the hatches after the debate to make sure his father 174 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,279 would only receive intel he preapproved. The media's and the 175 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,519 Democrats hypocrisy is glaring, said Matmargolis at pjmedia dot Com. 176 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:10,759 Said they attack Elon Musk for exposing waste, accusing him 177 00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,840 of having too much power without having been elected, while 178 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:17,240 their lack of scrutiny during the Biden presidency allowed for 179 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:27,159 an unelected crack addict to run the country. And I agree. 180 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:34,000 Then there is the fallout from the laptop and this 181 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,679 goes into some of the executive orders. This all connects 182 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,480 to the USAID. I mean, like, there is so much 183 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,919 stuff going on right now, I know it's very difficult 184 00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,919 to follow all of it. And this is the strategy. 185 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,639 We've talked about this, the Trump administration strategy shock and awe. 186 00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:57,919 You do this in order to fracture the opposition into 187 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,039 different camps, right, because the Democrat Party is based on 188 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:08,399 this intersectionality idea where you're oppressed. I'm oppressed. That other 189 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,720 guy's oppressed, and she's oppressed, and they them there's zizure 190 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,960 or their geer is oppressed. Whatever, Like, everybody's oppressed for 191 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,200 all these different reasons. But where we intersect is orange 192 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,360 man bed and so that well, I mean now it's 193 00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,200 orange Maan bead. Well for the last ten eight years, 194 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,480 it's been orange Maan bed. But the whole point is 195 00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:31,159 you build the oppress or oppressed structure, and then you 196 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,720 target a you know, unitary target, white male system. Right, 197 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:42,320 that's the target. We're all oppressed by white males or 198 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,320 the system and or the system, right, canmi both because 199 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,120 that's a system they built against us to keep us oppressed. 200 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,399 That's the intersectionality. We're all oppressed, but for different reasons, 201 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,279 so we intersect at oppression, and so therefore we need 202 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,879 to band together and go after the common enemy. And 203 00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:04,039 when you are able to fracture all of those different 204 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:10,559 groups inside the intersectional coalition because you've done something that 205 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,360 they care about but the other coalition camps might not, 206 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,159 then you're focused on the thing that you're you know, 207 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,440 at least you perceive to be harmed by. And the 208 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,279 other folks, meanwhile, are looking at their pet issue, their 209 00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:29,799 you know, system of oppression, the thing that they care about, 210 00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:32,679 and they're trying to galvanize all of you know, the 211 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:38,039 coalition against that. But all the members of the coalition 212 00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:42,000 have their own things that they're focusing on. And that's why, 213 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,840 and that's this scattershot kind of approach, and this this 214 00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:49,279 splintering of response, and that's why you can't even get 215 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,960 you know, one hundred people to go march on the 216 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,720 Department of Labor, which is probably the closest that like 217 00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:59,399 many of those people have ever actually come to real labor. 218 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,879 Too soon, is it too soon? Okay, here's a great idea. 219 00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:08,759 How about making an escape to a really special and 220 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,000 secluded getaway in western North Carolina.

I got a message. Yeah, 241 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,320 it's a Pete male from Philip. He says, uh, Pete, 242 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,039 we cannot trust what that Lindsey Lee, the Democrat fundraiser. 243 00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:34,600 We can't trust what she is saying. She's just trying 244 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,600 to deflect blame for losing the elections. Lee has worked 245 00:16:38,639 --> 00:16:41,240 for the Marxists long enough to have come out earlier. 246 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,759 You can't trust traders. Even though we like to hear 247 00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:46,879 the dirt, we don't need to give her a form. 248 00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:52,480 Well oh wait, I'm sorry. I think it's from Jeff. Sorry. 249 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,440 So I do want to hear what she has to say, 250 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360 and I still don't have to trust her, right, But 251 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,879 if she has an incentive built in there to repair 252 00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:07,200 I mean, I'm assuming it's to repair the trust that 253 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:14,319 she has lost with her donors and to try to 254 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,640 get them to keep donating money and to believe her, 255 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,079 to trust her that she knows what she's doing when 256 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,839 she's fundraising. Right, that's one incentive she could have. I mean, 257 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,440 the other could be that she's just you know, in 258 00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:25,200 it for fame and stardom. She's going to try to 259 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,720 parlay it into something else. That's true too, but she 260 00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:32,240 also knows a lot of this stuff from inside the 261 00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:36,039 Democrat circles, and otherwise we would not know this, right. 262 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,440 If she weren't coming out and saying these things, we 263 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,119 would not know it. So I don't think I'm giving 264 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,240 her a forum. I am giving you the information that 265 00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:47,240 she's I mean, well, but look, truth be told. If 266 00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:50,079 she were to call up or okay, her booking people, 267 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,359 if they were to call up and say, hey, Pete, 268 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,920 we have no idea who you are, but would you 269 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,759 like to interview her? I would say yes, and I'd 270 00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,920 ask her all sorts of questions, and I would ask 271 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,359 her about what you just mention there, Jeff. I would 272 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:08,039 ask her about that. Absolutely. Sean says, oh, Sean up 273 00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:11,599 in Burnsville. I love your show, Thank you, Sean. Have 274 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,920 you thought about a name change to calendar since people 275 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,160 can't seem to get it right and you could just 276 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,599 make it part of your show and persona asking for 277 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,799 a friend. So I actually had a boss, probably fifteen 278 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,440 years ago, tell me that I should just go ahead 279 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,640 and change my name to that. I never did. I mean, 280 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,440 I guess I could have, but I never did. It 281 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,920 would have helped with the dosing and such and the 282 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,559 threats and people posting my personal information. It would have 283 00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:42,559 helped with that, sure, but it's too late now, it's 284 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,119 you know already. I did buy petecalendar dot com. I 285 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,680 did buy that URL, and it redirects you to the 286 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,160 correct spelling. So, I mean, I recognize it's a problem, 287 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,559 but whatever. Such as life. So one of the things 288 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:04,119 that Donald Trump did when he took over this was, 289 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,680 I guess two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago, and 290 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,880 he signed an executive order holding former government officials accountable 291 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,240 for election interference and improper disclosure of sensitive governmental information. 292 00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:26,119 Section one said. In the closing weeks of the twenty 293 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,200 twenty presidential campaign, at least fifty one former intelligence officials 294 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,440 coordinated with the Biden campaign to issue a letter discrediting 295 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:38,480 the reporting that President Joseph R. Biden's son had abandoned 296 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:42,319 his laptop at a computer repair business. Signatories of the 297 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,400 letter falsely suggested that the news story was part of 298 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,000 a Russian disinformation campaign. Multiple signatories held clearances at the 299 00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:58,559 time and maintained ongoing contractual relationships with the CIA. Federal 300 00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:02,480 policymakers must be able to rely on analysis conducted by 301 00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:05,519 the intelligence community and be confident that it is accurate, 302 00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:10,079 crafted with professionalism, and free from politically motivated engineering to 303 00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:14,200 affect political outcomes in the United States, the signatories willfully 304 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,440 weaponized the gravitas of the intelligence community to manipulate the 305 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:25,720 political process and undermine our democratic institutions lowercase D democratic. 306 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,880 This fabrication of the imprimatur of the or impromater of 307 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,759 the intelligence community is to suppress information essential to the 308 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,759 American people during an election. Is an egregious breach of trust, 309 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,400 reminiscent of a third world country. And now the faith 310 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,079 of Americans in all other patriotic intelligence professionals who are 311 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:47,519 sworn to protect the nation has been imperiled. And so 312 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,759 with this order, and it goes on for like two 313 00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:56,240 more pages. He rescinded, he removed the security clearances of 314 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,559 a whole bunch of these people who are no longer 315 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:04,559 working for the government, like specifically the former CIA director 316 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:11,160 and Marxist John Brennan. And that is appropriate. Now. The 317 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,440 reason why they let these people keep their clearances. I 318 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:18,359 understand the rationale, but I find it to be pretty weak. 319 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,960 The rationale as well. If we need to bring them 320 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,519 in to ask them about some stuff that happened under 321 00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,079 their watch that we need some you know, insight on, 322 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,160 then then we should be able to do that without 323 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,880 having to go through the hoops of you know, getting 324 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,920 the you know clearance, you know, reinstated for just this 325 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,240 one you know, debrief or whatever, and so they just 326 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:44,160 let them keep it, although I think it's a kind 327 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,000 of a reduced level, but I'm not sure. But either way, 328 00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:49,799 either way, I don't think you should get to keep 329 00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:53,039 your clearance if you go to work for say CNN 330 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,200 or MSNBC, And that's not a knock on those specific organizations. 331 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,319 I would say the same with Fox right. I don't 332 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,279 think you should be on the payroll of a media 333 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:12,839 operation if you are still getting access to classified stuff, 334 00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:16,480 because what happens is you can then go to that 335 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:22,559 media company and tell them something that's not true and say, 336 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,920 you know, I know this because I have that clearance 337 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,039 still and you can trust me, and the media would 338 00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:32,519 then be unable to prove one way or the other, 339 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,799 so they just count you as a source with knowledge 340 00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:36,880 of the situation. They just write it up like that, 341 00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:43,079 and you can feed lies through the media who either 342 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,880 is participating unwillingly or unknowingly, or doing so because it 343 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,480 advances an agenda that they prefer. And so I don't 344 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,559 think you should keep your your clearances. If you're going 345 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,079 to be participating in in media stuff like this, like 346 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,799 writing these public letters and such, you don't get to 347 00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:03,119 keep the clearance. And when you do participate in something 348 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,880 like that, then you lose it. That's a penalty, that's 349 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,640 a punishment for what you did, for your bad behavior. 350 00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:12,160 It's completely appropriate, all right. I hope you had a 351 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,839 happy holiday season. But tell me if something like this 352 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,200 happened at your house. Your family and friends are gathered around, 353 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,400 maybe y'all are in the living room, You're laughing, swapping stories, reminiscing, 354 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,400 and then somebody says, hey, Dad, remember those old VHS tapes? 355 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,039 Did you ever get them transferred? And then the room 356 00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:32,880 gets all quiet. All eyes are on Dad, who says, oh, 357 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,000 you know, well, I've been meaning too, but I just 358 00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:38,000 having gotten around to it. Look, don't let those priceless 359 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,960 memories sit in a box for another year, all right? 360 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,920 Create a Video has been helping families in the Charlotte 361 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,759 area preserve their history since nineteen ninety seven. Simply bring 362 00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:50,720 in your old camp quarter tapes and Creative Video will 363 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,119 transfer them to a USB flash drive for just fourteen 364 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,640 ninety five per tape.

We have 371 00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:20,079 a call from Alex. He's been waiting patiently. I don't 372 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,759 know that actually to be true. He's just been hanging 373 00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:23,640 out on hold. Alex, Welcome to the program. 374 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,319 Speaker 2: Hi, it's nice to speak with you. 375 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, you too, what's up? 376 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,799 Speaker 2: Yeah. I've written a letter of support to President Trump, 377 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,599 and I just wanted to get your opinion and the 378 00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:33,880 opinion of the listening audience of what I've written. 379 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: Is this a letter to a newspaper or to the 380 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,400 president himself or. 381 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,599 Speaker 2: I'm saying it to the president. 382 00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:42,559 Speaker 1: All right, So is it like six pages front and 383 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,160 back or something. Oh, it's okay, short, it's a page 384 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:46,720 and a half. 385 00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:50,319 Speaker 2: Well, it's on notebook paper right now, so. 386 00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:54,759 Speaker 1: It's a handwritten page and a half. Yes, how fast 387 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:55,720 are you at reading? 388 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,839 Speaker 2: I'm rather quick, all right. 389 00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm gonna say, if you hear they're a gong, 390 00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:04,680 then that means that judges are Now I'm just kidding. 391 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,200 I'm just kidding you. Go ahead, dalls, let's hear it. 392 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, uh huh. Dear President Trump, congratulations on 393 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,960 your election win in your inauguration. It was a victory 394 00:25:14,039 --> 00:25:16,920 for you personally and for the country's future. I watched 395 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,160 the inauguration ceremony on television. Immediately after you took the 396 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,519 oath of office. I went out and wave the American 397 00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:25,000 flag in front of my house. I haven't flown the 398 00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:28,160 flag in four years. As I watched old glory below 399 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,240 and the brisk breeze against the Carolina blue sky, I 400 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:34,039 felt something I haven't had for a long time. Opt 401 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,920 the mendacity and competence and corruption of the Biden Harris 402 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,400 administration was finally coming to a welcome end. The flag 403 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,599 I flew belonged to my late father. He served in 404 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,759 the Marines in the latter part of World War Two. 405 00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:50,000 He displayed the flag on all the important holidays. On 406 00:25:50,039 --> 00:25:54,079 December soelth. By his example, I was taught the value 407 00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:57,759 of patriotism, the same love of country I witnessed to 408 00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:00,640 my father. I see in you. Thank you for defending 409 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,440 the people, border, and culture of America. I also want 410 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240 to thank you for recently visiting western North Carolina to 411 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,960 see the destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene and offering 412 00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:14,599 much needed aid. The previous administration was more interested in 413 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,359 helping illegal aliens than in assisting deserving American citizens devastated 414 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,920 by natural disaster. I hope you can work toward abolishing 415 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,839 the Internal Revenue Service and replacing it with a fair tax. 416 00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,000 If the government has gobs of tax paramony to squander 417 00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:34,640 on Guatemalan sex change operations, transsexual Peruvian comic books, and 418 00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:38,079 other odd woke items, it apparently doesn't need our tax 419 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,759 money badly. For years on, scrupulous left wing politicians and 420 00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,240 their cronies have weaponized the RS against the Conservatives. The 421 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,680 RAS has become corrupt, abusive, and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson once said, 422 00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:52,279 when the people fear the government there is tyranny when 423 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:55,559 the government fears the people, there's freedom from one Scottish 424 00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:58,599 American to another. I wish you much success in God's 425 00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:02,839 blessings during your term office. Keep up the great work, sincerely, 426 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,880 and then I gave my name measures. 427 00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: I think that's a very fine letter, Alex. 428 00:27:08,279 --> 00:27:08,599 Speaker 2: Thank you. 429 00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you have a you have a gift. There 430 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,680 are a lot of people that can that could not 431 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,000 write a letter like that. I think it's a very 432 00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:16,519 nice letter. 433 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. I prayed to God for him to 434 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,920 give me the right words to say before I wrote this, 435 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,799 and I feel like he did. 436 00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: Oh well, see, well now you're taking credit. God wrote 437 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,279 the letter, not you. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. So no, 438 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,720 that's no. It's a very good letter. I think you express. 439 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,400 You covered a lot of different topics and expressed I 440 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:41,599 think what sounded like heartfelt praise and optimism. And I 441 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,079 think there are a lot of people that agree with it. 442 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,920 So I know, I think you should send it. Let 443 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,079 me know if you get a response that's, you know, 444 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,119 something other than like a form letter. But it'd be 445 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,119 cool if they sent you some kind of response, you 446 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,960 know something or like he mentioned it you know, somewhere 447 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,640 on the campaign trail or something like that, it'd be 448 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,279 pretty Yeah. 449 00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:02,759 Speaker 2: I mean I was just a book color guy from 450 00:28:02,759 --> 00:28:05,359 the west side of Charlotte, and it makes sensor for 451 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,000 somebody for that to get mentioned, you know. 452 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well you never know, you don't ever know, Alex. Yeah, 453 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,400 I appreciate the call. 454 00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 2: Sir, Thanks so much, Yeah, thank you, all. 455 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,599 Speaker 1: Right, take care now. It's a very fine letter. And 456 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,720 that's the thing too, I will say, in talking to 457 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:24,960 politicians elected officials over the years, the thing that matters 458 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,759 like the most. Yes, they do take counts when people 459 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:33,359 call the switchboards, you know, when they say, you know, 460 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,440 light up the switchboard, call your elected representative, tell them 461 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,880 to vote yes or vote no or whatever. They do. 462 00:28:39,359 --> 00:28:42,240 Like the people who take those phone calls, they do 463 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,400 take a tally like almost like a poll. It's unscientific, obviously, 464 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,240 but if you get a lot of people calling on 465 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,240 a particular thing and it's you know, it's two thousand 466 00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:55,279 calls in favor of something and zero against, that gives 467 00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:58,440 the elected leader some sort of indication of where their 468 00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:02,200 constituents are on that piece of legislation. So they do 469 00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:06,400 keep track of that. But the thing that really has 470 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,079 the most impact. I have heard from several different elected 471 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:13,720 officials over the course of my career, and it is 472 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,960 handwritten letters. Somebody who takes the time, especially nowadays, to 473 00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:25,119 sit down and write a letter out by hand and 474 00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:29,799 send it in. That's somebody who has thought about the 475 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:32,440 thing that they're writing about, and it shows sort of 476 00:29:32,519 --> 00:29:36,720 a level of interest and commitment more so than you know, 477 00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:41,920 some form email that gets because like those things like, oh, 478 00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:43,759 you know, click this email and it goes to your 479 00:29:43,759 --> 00:29:47,039 elected representative and it's just a form email. That's stuff 480 00:29:47,079 --> 00:29:49,920 they don't really care about so much because it's so 481 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,319 easily abused. A handwritten letter from somebody, let alone multiple 482 00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:59,319 people on a particular issue that can move more so 483 00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:02,839 than even the the polling by people who are calling in. 484 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,279 The handwritten letter, it's very powerful. Something about the pen 485 00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:10,960 and the sword or something or other. So I've heard, so, 486 00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:13,440 I've heard. Yeah. So. By the way, John Brennan is 487 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,640 man that his security clearance is taken away, but oh well, 488 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:20,160 so bea all right. That'll do it for this episode. 489 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,319 Thank you so much for listening. I could not do 490 00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:24,519 the show without your support and the support of the 491 00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:27,559 businesses that advertise on the podcast, so if you'd like, 492 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,799 please support them too and tell them you heard it here. 493 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,480 You can also become a patron at my Patreon page 494 00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:36,160 or go to thepetecallanershow dot com.
