your support. And now it all makes sense. If it
seemed like the previous administration was governing as if they
were whacked out on drugs. Now it makes sense because
there is a former Democratic National Committee DNC insider, big
time fundraiser for the DNC who has defected basically from
the party. Her name is Lyndy Lee. She's been going
on all these different podcasts talking to all these different
people about all these different things. And what she told
what she said in the latest podcast, which was with
I think his name is Sean Ryan. Yeah, Sean Ryan,
and I've seen his podcast. It's like a three hour
conversation that he does with people. And what she said
was that after the Biden performance, after Joe Biden's terrible
performance in the June debate, Hunter took over. That's who's
been in charge, and probably before that too. But now
it all makes sense Matt Margolis writing at PG Media.
Now we know why, or sorry, now we know who
was running the country for Joe Biden. Quote. Have you
noticed how leftist at losing their minds over Elon Musk's
Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE to expose rampant waste
and corruption. While as Musk uncover shocking levels of mismanagement
and even actions aiding America's enemies, critics have launched coordinated
attacks on him, implying that he's the one who's actually
running the White House. And they say, nobody voted for
Elon Musk. Yeah, well nobody voted for doctor Jill Biden,
or doctor Jilson as I call her. It's a it's
an homage to Edith Wilson, who is the wife of
Woodrow Wilson, who also assumed the powers of the presidency
even though she was not elected after her husband suffered
a stroke or a series of strokes. And she would
like sign his name to things like the act that
like the first Rasputin, like uh a surrogate president, and
I have no doubt. I am open to be persuaded,
but it's going to take a lot. I have no
doubt that doctor Jill did the same thing with Joe,
and I have no doubt that the half a dozen
people around him did the same thing. And people may ask, Pete,
why are you talking about this? You know, the day
after the big game. Shouldn't you be talking about the commercials?
Oh I had? The mustache one was hilarious, like, well,
which mustache one? Because like two different companies used flying
mustaches for some reason. I'm sure it is just coincidental.
But still, this is why it's because this to me,
and I've said it before many times, this is the
biggest presidential scandal of my lifetime and maybe ever. You
had a president who was cognitively impaired, and you had
people around him that were running our government, and you
had media that ran cover for that operation. And only
after Joe Biden was out do we hear all of
these stories? You know, now the truth can be told
after they've they'd done all of these things, signing executive orders,
pushing billions and billions of dollars through the agencies to
the non governmental organizations and such just pushing your money
out the door to fund essentially themselves, the shadow government
that exists where these democrats and their allies they ensconce
themselves in these organizations that then live off of government
grants and their friends are the ones that right the grants,
and then when they win power, they just all pick
up and move end moss back into the government offices.
It is a shadow government, and it is funded by us.
And none of this is possible without a compliant allied media.
That's why this is a huge scandal. At least with Watergate,
you had media outfits and reporters that were outraged at
what was going on, and they reported on it and
they exposed the lies and everything else. But this time, no,
this time they had to protect the enfeebled leader in
order to keep making advances on a shared agenda. So
now Musk is in there, and now the left is
very concerned about somebody not elected running the government. The
same voices now wailing about Musk's alleged control were silent
when Joe spent four years clearly not running the White House.
If I can see it from way down here in Charlotte,
how did the people bull who live in that area
not see it or not know, And the answer is,
of course that they did see it and they did know,
and then of course we find out afterwards that yeah,
we knew, well, I didn't know it was that bad,
and then you got other people that are like, oh, yeah,
we knew it was that bad. Everybody knew, they had
heard the rumors, and they chose not to pursue the rumors,
or they knew for sure and chose not to report it.
Why because Orange Man bead So Lindy Lee, once a
proud fundraiser for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Lee, has
now turned into an insider spilling the Democrat Party's most
closely held secrets. And boy does she have stories, says
Matt Margolis Or Margolis Her revelations pull back the curtain
on what has been described as a chaotic and delusional
twenty twenty four campaign for the Democrats, which spectacularly collapsed
under the weight of its own hubris. Back in December,
she told Fox News quote, the President has not been
cognitively fit to assume the duties of the Oval Office
for a number of years now, and it breaks my
heart because I know President Biden, and I love the man,
but he is in no shape or form able to
carry out the duties that the commander in chief requires.
And it's just devastating. And according to Lee, Joe Biden
effectively lost control of the White House after that June debate.
That debate reportedly prompted a power shuffle at sixteen hundred
Pennsylvania Avenue one, spearheaded by none other than Hunter Biden.
Lee alleges that following Biden's disastrous debate drubbing, Hunter essentially
took over White House operations. Speaking with the show the
podcaster Sean Ryan, Lee painted a picture of dysfunction at
the highest levels of government. Quote after the CNN debate,
Hunter basically commandeered the White House. He sat in on
all of the White House top level meetings. We had
a former cocaine addict sitting in on the most sensitive
meetings of the most consequential and most important government in
world history. Does that sit right with you? And mind you,
Hunter Biden had no security clearances. This is all fine.
Elon Musk is the problem because he's showing us where
the waste fraud in corruption is right? All right? If
you're listening to this show. You know I try to
keep up with all sorts of current events, and I
know you do too, And you've probably heard me say
get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, because it's
how you detect media bias, which is why I've been
so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and it's
a website, and it combines news from around the world
in one place, so you can compare coverage and verify information.
You can check it out at check dot ground, dot
news slash pete. I put the link in the podcast
description too. I started using ground News a few months
ago and more recently chose to work with them as
an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how stories
get covered and by whom. The blind spot feature shows
you which stories get ignored by the left and the right.

make the media landscape more transparent. This woman, who was
a former big time Democrat donor. Lindy Lee is her name.
She's now spilling the t Lee with the t oh
that could be your podcast. Maybe she probably already has
a podcast. So she's going around doing interviews talking about
the sort of behind the curtain things that went on
in the final months of the presidential race on the
Democrat side. I've heard several of her interviews over the
last few months, and like she I believe she ended
up voting for Trump, but I don't recall specifically. She
may not have, but she became very disillusioned because after
the election she yet I think she did vote for Harris,
but like after the election, that's when she started hearing
that there were all of these concerns in these internal
polls that were showing Biden couldn't win nor could Harris,
and that when somebody went on the I think it
was the pod bros, the former Obama guys that like
Pod Save America, and they talked about this like, oh, yeah,
we knew, we saw this polling and yeah we she
didn't have a chance and all this, and Lee was like, well,
wait a minute. As a big time Democrat fundraiser, I've
been going around to people telling them that she could
win and it wouldn't be a waste of money. And
I convinced people to give tens of millions of dollars,
and you lied to me in order to keep that
money flowing, even though you knew that she was trailing
very badly, but publicly you were telling us the opposite,
and two donors you were lying to us. So she
got very upset about all of that. She got upset
about Joe Biden, the cover up regarding him, and now
she says that it was Hunter Biden that commandeered the
White House operations after the June debate. She says that's
who was basically running the show. Hunter basically battened down
the hatches after the debate to make sure his father
would only receive intel he preapproved. The media's and the
Democrats hypocrisy is glaring, said Matmargolis at pjmedia dot Com.
Said they attack Elon Musk for exposing waste, accusing him
of having too much power without having been elected, while
their lack of scrutiny during the Biden presidency allowed for
an unelected crack addict to run the country. And I agree.
Then there is the fallout from the laptop and this
goes into some of the executive orders. This all connects
to the USAID. I mean, like, there is so much
stuff going on right now, I know it's very difficult
to follow all of it. And this is the strategy.
We've talked about this, the Trump administration strategy shock and awe.
You do this in order to fracture the opposition into
different camps, right, because the Democrat Party is based on
this intersectionality idea where you're oppressed. I'm oppressed. That other
guy's oppressed, and she's oppressed, and they them there's zizure
or their geer is oppressed. Whatever, Like, everybody's oppressed for
all these different reasons. But where we intersect is orange
man bed and so that well, I mean now it's
orange Maan bead. Well for the last ten eight years,
it's been orange Maan bed. But the whole point is
you build the oppress or oppressed structure, and then you
target a you know, unitary target, white male system. Right,
that's the target. We're all oppressed by white males or
the system and or the system, right, canmi both because
that's a system they built against us to keep us oppressed.
That's the intersectionality. We're all oppressed, but for different reasons,
so we intersect at oppression, and so therefore we need
to band together and go after the common enemy. And
when you are able to fracture all of those different
groups inside the intersectional coalition because you've done something that
they care about but the other coalition camps might not,
then you're focused on the thing that you're you know,
at least you perceive to be harmed by. And the
other folks, meanwhile, are looking at their pet issue, their
you know, system of oppression, the thing that they care about,
and they're trying to galvanize all of you know, the
coalition against that. But all the members of the coalition
have their own things that they're focusing on. And that's why,
and that's this scattershot kind of approach, and this this
splintering of response, and that's why you can't even get
you know, one hundred people to go march on the
Department of Labor, which is probably the closest that like
many of those people have ever actually come to real labor.
Too soon, is it too soon? Okay, here's a great idea.
How about making an escape to a really special and
secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive

and make memories that'll last a lifetime. I got a message. Yeah,
it's a Pete male from Philip. He says, uh, Pete,
we cannot trust what that Lindsey Lee, the Democrat fundraiser.
We can't trust what she is saying. She's just trying
to deflect blame for losing the elections. Lee has worked
for the Marxists long enough to have come out earlier.
You can't trust traders. Even though we like to hear
the dirt, we don't need to give her a form.
Well oh wait, I'm sorry. I think it's from Jeff. Sorry.
So I do want to hear what she has to say,
and I still don't have to trust her, right, But
if she has an incentive built in there to repair
I mean, I'm assuming it's to repair the trust that
she has lost with her donors and to try to
get them to keep donating money and to believe her,
to trust her that she knows what she's doing when
she's fundraising. Right, that's one incentive she could have. I mean,
the other could be that she's just you know, in
it for fame and stardom. She's going to try to
parlay it into something else. That's true too, but she
also knows a lot of this stuff from inside the
Democrat circles, and otherwise we would not know this, right.
If she weren't coming out and saying these things, we
would not know it. So I don't think I'm giving
her a forum. I am giving you the information that
she's I mean, well, but look, truth be told. If
she were to call up or okay, her booking people,
if they were to call up and say, hey, Pete,
we have no idea who you are, but would you
like to interview her? I would say yes, and I'd
ask her all sorts of questions, and I would ask
her about what you just mention there, Jeff. I would
ask her about that. Absolutely. Sean says, oh, Sean up
in Burnsville. I love your show, Thank you, Sean. Have
you thought about a name change to calendar since people
can't seem to get it right and you could just
make it part of your show and persona asking for
a friend. So I actually had a boss, probably fifteen
years ago, tell me that I should just go ahead
and change my name to that. I never did. I mean,
I guess I could have, but I never did. It
would have helped with the dosing and such and the
threats and people posting my personal information. It would have
helped with that, sure, but it's too late now, it's
you know already. I did buy petecalendar dot com. I
did buy that URL, and it redirects you to the
correct spelling. So, I mean, I recognize it's a problem,
but whatever. Such as life. So one of the things
that Donald Trump did when he took over this was,
I guess two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago, and
he signed an executive order holding former government officials accountable
for election interference and improper disclosure of sensitive governmental information.
Section one said. In the closing weeks of the twenty
twenty presidential campaign, at least fifty one former intelligence officials
coordinated with the Biden campaign to issue a letter discrediting
the reporting that President Joseph R. Biden's son had abandoned
his laptop at a computer repair business. Signatories of the
letter falsely suggested that the news story was part of
a Russian disinformation campaign. Multiple signatories held clearances at the
time and maintained ongoing contractual relationships with the CIA. Federal
policymakers must be able to rely on analysis conducted by
the intelligence community and be confident that it is accurate,
crafted with professionalism, and free from politically motivated engineering to
affect political outcomes in the United States, the signatories willfully
weaponized the gravitas of the intelligence community to manipulate the
political process and undermine our democratic institutions lowercase D democratic.
This fabrication of the imprimatur of the or impromater of
the intelligence community is to suppress information essential to the
American people during an election. Is an egregious breach of trust,
reminiscent of a third world country. And now the faith
of Americans in all other patriotic intelligence professionals who are
sworn to protect the nation has been imperiled. And so
with this order, and it goes on for like two
more pages. He rescinded, he removed the security clearances of
a whole bunch of these people who are no longer
working for the government, like specifically the former CIA director
and Marxist John Brennan. And that is appropriate. Now. The
reason why they let these people keep their clearances. I
understand the rationale, but I find it to be pretty weak.
The rationale as well. If we need to bring them
in to ask them about some stuff that happened under
their watch that we need some you know, insight on,
then then we should be able to do that without
having to go through the hoops of you know, getting
the you know clearance, you know, reinstated for just this
one you know, debrief or whatever, and so they just
let them keep it, although I think it's a kind
of a reduced level, but I'm not sure. But either way,
either way, I don't think you should get to keep
your clearance if you go to work for say CNN
or MSNBC, And that's not a knock on those specific organizations.
I would say the same with Fox right. I don't
think you should be on the payroll of a media
operation if you are still getting access to classified stuff,
because what happens is you can then go to that
media company and tell them something that's not true and say,
you know, I know this because I have that clearance
still and you can trust me, and the media would
then be unable to prove one way or the other,
so they just count you as a source with knowledge
of the situation. They just write it up like that,
and you can feed lies through the media who either
is participating unwillingly or unknowingly, or doing so because it
advances an agenda that they prefer. And so I don't
think you should keep your your clearances. If you're going
to be participating in in media stuff like this, like
writing these public letters and such, you don't get to
keep the clearance. And when you do participate in something
like that, then you lose it. That's a penalty, that's
a punishment for what you did, for your bad behavior.
It's completely appropriate, all right. I hope you had a
happy holiday season. But tell me if something like this
happened at your house. Your family and friends are gathered around,
maybe y'all are in the living room, You're laughing, swapping stories, reminiscing,
and then somebody says, hey, Dad, remember those old VHS tapes?
Did you ever get them transferred? And then the room
gets all quiet. All eyes are on Dad, who says, oh,
you know, well, I've been meaning too, but I just
having gotten around to it. Look, don't let those priceless
memories sit in a box for another year, all right?
Create a Video has been helping families in the Charlotte
area preserve their history since nineteen ninety seven. Simply bring

I did. Trust the experts at creat a Video, conveniently

a call from Alex. He's been waiting patiently. I don't
know that actually to be true. He's just been hanging
out on hold. Alex, Welcome to the program.
Speaker 2: Hi, it's nice to speak with you.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, you too, what's up?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've written a letter of support to President Trump,
and I just wanted to get your opinion and the
opinion of the listening audience of what I've written.
Speaker 1: Is this a letter to a newspaper or to the
president himself or.
Speaker 2: I'm saying it to the president.
Speaker 1: All right, So is it like six pages front and
back or something. Oh, it's okay, short, it's a page
and a half.
Speaker 2: Well, it's on notebook paper right now, so.
Speaker 1: It's a handwritten page and a half. Yes, how fast
are you at reading?
Speaker 2: I'm rather quick, all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm gonna say, if you hear they're a gong,
then that means that judges are Now I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding you. Go ahead, dalls, let's hear it.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, uh huh. Dear President Trump, congratulations on
your election win in your inauguration. It was a victory
for you personally and for the country's future. I watched
the inauguration ceremony on television. Immediately after you took the
oath of office. I went out and wave the American
flag in front of my house. I haven't flown the
flag in four years. As I watched old glory below
and the brisk breeze against the Carolina blue sky, I
felt something I haven't had for a long time. Opt
the mendacity and competence and corruption of the Biden Harris
administration was finally coming to a welcome end. The flag
I flew belonged to my late father. He served in
the Marines in the latter part of World War Two.
He displayed the flag on all the important holidays. On
December soelth. By his example, I was taught the value
of patriotism, the same love of country I witnessed to
my father. I see in you. Thank you for defending
the people, border, and culture of America. I also want
to thank you for recently visiting western North Carolina to
see the destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene and offering
much needed aid. The previous administration was more interested in
helping illegal aliens than in assisting deserving American citizens devastated
by natural disaster. I hope you can work toward abolishing
the Internal Revenue Service and replacing it with a fair tax.
If the government has gobs of tax paramony to squander
on Guatemalan sex change operations, transsexual Peruvian comic books, and
other odd woke items, it apparently doesn't need our tax
money badly. For years on, scrupulous left wing politicians and
their cronies have weaponized the RS against the Conservatives. The
RAS has become corrupt, abusive, and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson once said,
when the people fear the government there is tyranny when
the government fears the people, there's freedom from one Scottish
American to another. I wish you much success in God's
blessings during your term office. Keep up the great work, sincerely,
and then I gave my name measures.
Speaker 1: I think that's a very fine letter, Alex.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you have a you have a gift. There
are a lot of people that can that could not
write a letter like that. I think it's a very
nice letter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. I prayed to God for him to
give me the right words to say before I wrote this,
and I feel like he did.
Speaker 1: Oh well, see, well now you're taking credit. God wrote
the letter, not you. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. So no,
that's no. It's a very good letter. I think you express.
You covered a lot of different topics and expressed I
think what sounded like heartfelt praise and optimism. And I
think there are a lot of people that agree with it.
So I know, I think you should send it. Let
me know if you get a response that's, you know,
something other than like a form letter. But it'd be
cool if they sent you some kind of response, you
know something or like he mentioned it you know, somewhere
on the campaign trail or something like that, it'd be
pretty Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I was just a book color guy from
the west side of Charlotte, and it makes sensor for
somebody for that to get mentioned, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well you never know, you don't ever know, Alex. Yeah,
I appreciate the call.
Speaker 2: Sir, Thanks so much, Yeah, thank you, all.
Speaker 1: Right, take care now. It's a very fine letter. And
that's the thing too, I will say, in talking to
politicians elected officials over the years, the thing that matters
like the most. Yes, they do take counts when people
call the switchboards, you know, when they say, you know,
light up the switchboard, call your elected representative, tell them
to vote yes or vote no or whatever. They do.
Like the people who take those phone calls, they do
take a tally like almost like a poll. It's unscientific, obviously,
but if you get a lot of people calling on
a particular thing and it's you know, it's two thousand
calls in favor of something and zero against, that gives
the elected leader some sort of indication of where their
constituents are on that piece of legislation. So they do
keep track of that. But the thing that really has
the most impact. I have heard from several different elected
officials over the course of my career, and it is
handwritten letters. Somebody who takes the time, especially nowadays, to
sit down and write a letter out by hand and
send it in. That's somebody who has thought about the
thing that they're writing about, and it shows sort of
a level of interest and commitment more so than you know,
some form email that gets because like those things like, oh,
you know, click this email and it goes to your
elected representative and it's just a form email. That's stuff
they don't really care about so much because it's so
easily abused. A handwritten letter from somebody, let alone multiple
people on a particular issue that can move more so
than even the the polling by people who are calling in.
The handwritten letter, it's very powerful. Something about the pen
and the sword or something or other. So I've heard, so,
I've heard. Yeah. So. By the way, John Brennan is
man that his security clearance is taken away, but oh well,
so bea all right. That'll do it for this episode.
Thank you so much for listening. I could not do
the show without your support and the support of the
