Activist Judges and Political Corruption plus the Radical Left's War on Musk · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Nearly every activist federal judge obstructing the presidence of Jenna
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: has a spouse or child drawing a paycheck from a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Democratic line in GEO. That coming from Elon Musk in
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: his interview that he did on Fox News Channel with
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Brett Baer, This should make every American furious.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Are you surprised at some of the legal efforts and
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: some of the judges that have weighed in. There's about
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: eight or ten now of these cases that are at
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: least temporary holds. They're being challenged by the DOJ. Are
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you surprised by that pushback?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Well, it's the DC circus is notorious for having a
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: very far left bias. And when you look at the
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: people close to some of these judges, who are where
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: are they working? Are they working at these NGOs they're
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: getting the other ones getting this money? Does that seem
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: like a system that lacks corruption? It sounds like corruption
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Sounds like corruption to me. I want to be clear,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not an attorney. I don't even I'm not going
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to play an attorney on TV or radio either. But
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: what I will say is the way that this is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: moving through the court system, and a great example of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this is what I'd said before the break about the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: appeals court careering the way for Trump to fire leaders
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of these independent federal agencies. Like Trump has an incredible
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: team around him this time that is so much better
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: than the team he had in twenty sixteen. And you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: look at this ruling Friday being a massive victory for
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Trump's efforts to have control over these regulatory agencies that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Congress intend to operate with quote some degree of independence
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: from the president. And that's what Democrats are losing their
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: minds over. But the President is saying, I should have
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the ability to do this. I am the president to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: remove some of these people. Now there's three judge panel
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of DC District Court of Appeals voted two to one
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to allow Trump to remove members of the National Labor
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Relations Board, and the merits says some protection board. The
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: two board members in the case were appointed by President
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Lower court judges have issued injunctions right because
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they're going into lawfair with Trump for firing the two
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: board members. But this Friday's appeal court ruling lifts those
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: injunctions for now while the litigation is going to proceed.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of this stuff is going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: end up going to the Supreme Court, and I think
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that Donald Trump, more times than not, is going to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: win because some of this is just so brazen. And look,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States of America should not
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: have to fight every single day with activist judges that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: are clearly there to undermine the president's agenda, which ultimately
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is the American voters agenda. This is where Americans should
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: be highly offended and upset that we are sitting in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a what I described as a fraudulent system. This reminds
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: me if you've never watched the movie The Big Short,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: do it. It's about the housing crisis and the market
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: collapse back in two thousand and eight, and just how
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: insane it was that the regulatory agencies were giving great
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They were basically selling ratings of triple A rated bonds
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for fees. The whole system was fraudulent, and one of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the lines in the movie is well, at least people
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: are going to go to jail for this, and finally
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: there would be some of this corruption. Out of all
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of the fraud and corruption that the government was I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: don't even think of sleep at the wheel, for I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: think they were purposely looking the other way because of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: what we're seeing now with Doge and everybody was looking
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: everybody's brother up, Like all these activist judges have their
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: family members, you know, that are on these nngos getting paid,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and you look at that accusation. I don't think the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: federal government was asleep at the wheel with the housing
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and the subprime market and everything else. I think their
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: friends were getting rich off the fees and and it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: reminds me so much of that where the government is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: willing to protect the people around them if they're all
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: getting paid. There are a lot of people that are
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: acting just like the Biden crime family within our government.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And I would I would tell you go and watch
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that movie if you didn't do it, or read the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: book The Big Short, because it explains it. There was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: only one person in all of that corruption that happened,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: like and then there was a government bailout. Remember the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: American taxpayers got screwed. The system was was filled with
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so much corruption that the that the the falling of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the system, the Lehman brothers and everybody getting shot and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: countrywide getting shut down and everything else that happened during
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that time. It was going to be so catastrophic that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they what happened. The American taxpayer bailed them all out,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and they bailed them out, and no one was real
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they held accountable for it. You got a lot of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: people that were hurt, You got a lot of people
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that lost their homes, You had a lot of people
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that were lied to by lenders that you had regulatory
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: agencies that had their family and friends getting hooked up
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with these incredible fees. And it just shows you the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: level of the corruption now. It's at every level in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: our government, every level. And then when you see all
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of these judges that are activist judges trying to stop dog,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you got to ask us other question. Okay, well why
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: why just answer that question? Why why are you trying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to stop us? Because they are activist judges and they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: want to stop President Trump at all costs because for them,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they believe that they are above the law. They don't
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: believe the law applies to them. They believe they get
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to do whatever they want to do however they want
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to do it, whenever they want to do it. They
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: are a judge. And they also, by the way, believe
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that Donald Trump can just shut the hell up and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: sit down. They can't stand him. They don't respect the voters.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And that's where you should be a fit. You should
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: be highly offended that they are saying you need to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: shut up, you need to sit down, You need to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: be quiet. Right, that's what you need to do. You
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: need to shut the hell up and be quiet. We
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: know it's best, and we don't respect your vote or
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: any election outcome. That is how corrupt the system is
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: in DC. When I was working with the Bush administration
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: back in four we tried to reform Social Security reform
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: because we knew it was a Ponzi scheme. Then we
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: knew it was not serving the American people. Well, we
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: knew it was a real problem. And one of the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: things that was very very very very clear from when
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we tried to reform it was every time we tried
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to touch it or explain it or to give it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a people a new way of looking at it about
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: how bad of a deal you're getting on your ROI
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: when you put into Social Security. The Left would just
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: say they're going to steal your money. They're going to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: take it away from you. You're not gonna have it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It's going to be there, gonna ruin it. They're gonna
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: privatize it and they're gonna take it all. It's gonna fail,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a Ponzi's game. It's gonna be corrupt
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: as hell. Don't trust Wall Street. Don't trust I mean
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it was. It was the same line and it worked
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: with old people. We saw it in the data like
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: it worked. It really did. Is It was incredibly frustrating,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: but let me just tell you it worked. It worked
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: unbelievably well. And that was sad. But they've been now
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: saying it. I mean, I see it like every day
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they've been saying it over and over again since oh four,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: every time you try to fix something like oh you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: this is this is this is shady corruption. It's gonna
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you guys are screwing da da da. Like
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it was constant, and I think now it's just lost
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: its edge, Like it really has just kind of lost it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: It's like you got to sit there and almost laugh.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You gotta sit there and just be like, all right,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: here we go again, Like I don't know what other
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: way to put it. Here we go again. Now they're
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: gonna lie to us again. They're gonna say this crap again.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And there's just an eye rowing aspect of this now
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and that's the part that I love. Listen to Schumer.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the longer version. This is Chuck Schumer
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: going after Elon Muskin Donald Trump of this press conference
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with others with the Senate Democrats and the Trump administrations
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: changes quote unquote so security. This goes back to fearmonger.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: This happened this week. Two days ago.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: The acting Commissioner, handpicked by Doge, said musks claims of
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: fraud are false, and Musk, by the way, at one point,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: said let's eliminate it. They revealed their true colors. Trump
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: and Musk are just eroding the American dream. They're rigging
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: the system for billionaires while stealing from the elderly, from
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the disabled to cut taxes for their billionaire club. Senate Republicans,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: every Senate Republican should be demanding that must rever the firings.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: If they say they believe in social security, then they
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: ought to be telling Musk stop. But Senate Republicans are
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: just silent letting it happen. They're afraid of Trump.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Yesterday at the hearing and the Finance Committee where s
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Ron and Maria were at we heard from Trump's pick
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to lead the Social Security Administration, Frank Bisignano, to confirm
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: mister Bisignano as head of Social Security is hiring an
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: arsonist to run the fire station. I've known this guy
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: for twenty years. He's a cutter. Companies bring him in
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: to slash benefits, to slash Rather, companies bring him in
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: to slash workers and his fame. His claim to fame
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: is cutting and shrinking. The last person we need to
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: run the Social Security Office.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, the fear mongering there right, sky is falling.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You can't trust them. They're evil, and yet the American people,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I just think they've overplayed the hand. The Tesla take
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Down movement, which organized protests against Elon Musk and is
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: rolling the Trump administration, is gearing up for its biggest
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: demonstrations yet, while protests planned around the world this weekend
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: on its Global Day of Action, you're ready for some psychopaths. Well,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: if you want to know who the enemy is, they're
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: going to show their face. USA Today is now reporting
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that the Tesla Takedown movement a growing backlash against Elon
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Musk and his involvement in the Trump administration. The Department
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of Government Efficiency is urging protesters to sell their Tesla vehicles,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: dump their stock trying to ruin Elon Musk, and join
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: picket lines in front of Tesla locations worldwide. The movement's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: website is declared this Saturday, the twenty ninth, as a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: global day of action, with dozens of protests planned across
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the United States, the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and more.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: According to the Tesla Takedown website, and this is all
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: being funded by the radical left and the billionaires of
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the left. Okay, they opposed must quote alleged illegal coup,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that's how they describe it, and is used to the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Tesla fortune to destroy our democracy. Same people that are
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: saying they believe in democracy are the ones that are
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: saying torch Tesla's and fire bomb them and set up
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: like actual bombs, for example, in sceniary devices at the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: one in Austin. Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: That's what they say. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: property that's on the website. I think the actions that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: we were seeing speak differently than what you've got on
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: your website. The plan protests coming into a significant decline
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: in Tesla's stock value, which has lost almost forty percent
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: since December, following from nearly five hundred share to around
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy a share. This drop is in
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: value coincides with an increase in vandalism targeting Tesla dealerships
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and vehicles across the US. By the way, just a
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: personal note, I am I'm just not a guy that's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a Tesla guy. Has nothing to do with Elon Musk.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I just I'm I'm like, I'm look, I'm just kind
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of like, I like gas of my engines. I don't
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: like the stress of worrying where I'm going to like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: plug the thing in. I told you on this the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: White House last week. I am, for the first time
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in life, genuinely looking at the reality of buying a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Tesla just to give not one, but two middle fingers
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to these radicals on the left. Second thing, I'm not
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: looking at actually buying Tesla stock because if they're going
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to try to do this, and then I want to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: stand with him. I would never have been a candidate
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: for a Tesla until these psychopaths, these degenerates have done
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: what they've done, and I'm like, bring it on. You
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: want to you want to come after my car, Fine,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you're going to jail because the cameras are going to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: be rolling. Sometimes you've got to stand up for good
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: people doing good things. Elon Musk coming out saying this
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: as well in his interview with Brett Bayer, and I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: want to play this for you. Take a listen, Almos
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be shut down.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Finally, what's the biggest thing for you that keeps you
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: up at night?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of things I suppose that I
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: worry about. But and some of these things will seem
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: esoteric to people. Uh. You know, the birth rate is
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: very low in almost every country and something unless that changes, uh,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: civilization will disappear. America had the lowest birth rate I
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: believe ever, that was last year. Places like Korea the
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: birth rate is one third replacement rate. That means in
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: three generations, career will be three or four percent of
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: its current size. And nothing seems to be turning that around.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Humanity is dying and people it's it's just not something
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: we evolved to react to. And I mean I worried
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: generally about the strength of America. You know, America is
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: the central column that holds up holds up all the
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Western civilization. So if you like, if we've got the
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: example of Western civilization, America is the central column. If
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: that column fails, it's all over. You can't run off
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to New Zealand or some other place. It's over. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: either way, strengthen that column and make sure America is
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: is strong and will be strong for a long time
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: or what that roof's coming down.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: It's so interesting to hear Elon answer that question, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I think it goes back to like why is he
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: doing this? I think he loves this country, and I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear he loves this country. So the
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: question that every American should be asking is why are
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: democrats so upset that he's finding fraud? It was something
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they talked about in the five. It's something I mentioned earlier.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They were talking about this interview and they said the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: reason why they think Democrats are up says, is because
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: they believe the government is theirs. It's their bank to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: push their ideology on everyone.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Relations and what they've been able to take up. Well,
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: first I thought all these doze boys were going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: be like wearing hoodies and have like one hitters hanging
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: from their mouth, and they're like, really, successful innovators that
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: have left their successful companies to take a sabbatical to
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: save the country. And all the Democrats can do is heckle.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: They're like bleacher creatures, yelling stuff from the stand. They
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: have a hot dog in one hand, a Miller.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Light here, and they're like, you're too slow.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, meanwhile, these people need like wheelchairs to get
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: out of the stadium. They don't have any ideas the Democrats.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: What's their idea to cut waste, fraud, and abuse? What's
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: their idea to cut spending? This is like when your
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: wife spills wine and then she yells at you because
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: the way you're cleaning it up is wrong. Babe, you
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: spill the wine. I'll clean it up the way I
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: want to clean it up. Why aren't Democrats upset about fraud.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: They're just upset about the way we're finding the fraud,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: Like we're injecting swallows with coke to see if it
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: makes the horning. Yes, coke makes everybody horny. Why can't
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: we just hold hands and agree? And some of this
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: stuff is ridiculous. The Democrats don't run their own business
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: like this. What Democrat business hires people and never fires people.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: What Democrat business just gets built down of millions of
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: dollars and never stop what Democrat business gives every employee
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: to credit cards.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: None.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Democrats never run.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Their own businesses that way, but for some reason tolerate
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: what's going on in the federal government like this.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, I think Jesse's absolutely right. Why are
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Democrats have said about fraud? Why aren't they upset about fraud? Well,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it's and none of them run their businesses way. So
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: why here here's the last thing he says, which is
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the core point here.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: I would want FEMA to be faster, I would want
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: the Pentagon not to get built. I would want Medicare
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: and Social Security saved.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: We can agree on that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: But for some reason Democrats are fighting tooth and nail
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: against this. It's almost like they think the government's theirs,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: and when any Republican takes power, he's leasing the White
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: House like if anyone he wants to make any changes,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: like you have to call the super like you can't
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: do anything, you can't paint it, you can't irrigate the law,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: and anything needs to be done, you have to have
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the Democrats do it for them. That's not how we
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: run this country.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: That's not how we run this country. It is, by
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the way, how Democrats run this country. That's the whole problem.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: This is exactly how they want to run the government
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: because they believe that it is theirs. That's what it is.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They believe that it is theirs. Some of the political
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: persecution that's happening against Donald Trump. We've talked about all
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: the rage of the left, and we've gone through why
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: they're angry with Doge, why they're angry with Musk. But
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you also have to understand there's another level of lawfare
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that's happening right now, and I'm going to explain some
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of that for you real quick. A judge, an activist judge,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a judge that hates Donald Trump, has ordered Trump administration
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to preserve the signal chats. The order came in a
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: lawsuit file by a pro quote transparency group as a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: liberal group. The federal judge US District Judge James Boseburg
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: has ordered five senior Trump administration officials to preserve messages
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: they exchanged on the signal app. The judge ordering the
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Trump administration to preserve all the chats of the senior
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: officials conducted on that app, including a now exchange that
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: was accidentally shared with a reporter earlier this month about
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: an imminent military operation Yemen. This radical leftist district judge
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: issued the order this week at the request of a
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: quote transparency group that filed a lawsuit alleging that the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: app's automatic delete function left the messages at risk of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: being destroyed in violation of the Federal Records Act. During
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a brief afternoon hearing, the Justice Department attorney told the
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: judge such an order was not necessary because the agencies
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: involved were already taking steps to preserve the records, but
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: she did not object to the judge's reinforcem saying that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: this will not happen, or it will happen. The saving
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: of these messages, I say with a court order saying quote,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: we are still in the process of working with agencies
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is determined what records they have, but we also are
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: working with the agencies to preserve whatever records they have.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: The government lawyer appeared to acknowledge a statement from a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Treasury Department official in a court filing earlier in the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: day that suggests the Treasury Secretary currently has only part
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of the message chain about the Yemen strike. The journalists
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: who was added to the message chain. The Atlantic editor
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Goldberger reported that the chat began on March the eleventh,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: but Bascent apparently had retained only the messages starting on
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the afternoon of the fifteenth. It is not clear why
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Bascent doesn't have earlier messages or whether the other senior
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: officials on the chat have retained those as well. I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: just want to I want to caveat that we are
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: still ascertaining what records the agencies have that coming from
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the Treasury Department. Now, The Atlantic had no problem publishing
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the mesters earlier this week and made sure that the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: White House look bad as they possibly could. And we're
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: calling immediately for people's heads to roll in top Trump
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: administration officials to be fired from their job or to
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: resign immediately. I want to put this in perspective these lefties,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: whether it's The Atlantic or any of the others, that
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: are ran with this story, which by the way, had
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: no effect on the American people and their thoughts on
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The poll numbers are showing you still at
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: fifty percent even after this. They care more about taking
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: down somebody connected to Trump and his administration they do
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: about killing the actual terrorists that are killing men, women, grandchildren,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and the elderly and infant babies, raping, pillaging, and looting.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: These individuals are the worst people in the world. They
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: are actual terrorists organization, and they don't give a crap
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: about the successful mission, their mission the Democratic Party which
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is filled with socialists and communists and Marxists, combination of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: many of those together in some of these radicals. They
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: only care about taking down a Trump ally. That's it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: They also got another article that I found interesting. It
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: said Trump allies are starting to notice headsets growing pile
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of mistakes. There's a growing pile. I didn't know that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Please enlighten me. Here's the political article. Some White House
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: and Pending On officials now believe Headseth is the one
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: who messed up in the signal Chat scandal by sending
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: sense of details on his phone. The White House is
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: publicly defending the Defense Secretary after he Texas sense of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: military information is signal Chat, But behind the scenes, administration
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: insiders are starting to express doubts about the Pentagon's chiefs judgment.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm pretty damn close to this White House.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: None of this. I'm pretty connected in Washington to top
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: level people. In fact, I jokingly laughed, I have the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: cell phone numbers of probably sixty percent of the cabinet.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not hearing any of this. The reason why I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: say that is because I want you to understand this
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: is just political propaganda from the mainstream media Politico at
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the forefront of it. Quote officials agree National Security Advisor
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Mike Waltz, who accidentally invited a journalist to a group
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: chat with senior leaders, could more easily take the fall
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: for a scandal that has embarrassed the administration, which may
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: end up sparing headset his job. By the way, if
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: this is where the lies come in, if you think
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump was gonna get rid of Pete over this,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you're insane. Clearly you're an idiot, and you don't know
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump at all. Donald Trump probably was like, well,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: that's stupid. To make sure we don't have that happen again,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and that was it. He's not talking about replacing Pete,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: He's not talking about replacing anyone because he understands that
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: these are the guys that are actually out there doing
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the hard work, fighting the good fight, carrying out his orders,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: and he trusts them was this a mistake to have
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a journalist accidentally added yes, of course it was The
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: real story I'd love for someone to write is why
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: did a journalists not excuse themselves from the conversation instead
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: of just pouring himself out to his readers knowing he
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be on this conversation and if he
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: really thought it was dealing with national security issues, they
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: could be a threat. Then I would also argue this,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: whose side are you on? I want to know they
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: go Republican hawks. Again, back to the article from Politico,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Pentagon officials, and even some inside the White House. Now
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I believe headset also messed up by sitting likely classified
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: details from his phone, Then that has a to undermine
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: his credibility in the administration. Again, these are lies. They're
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: making it up. Quote. Because Trump c really likes and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: has publicly exonerated headseth, you're not going to hear a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: huge public outcry, said a senior GOP official on Capitol
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Hill who is close to the White House. But privately,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of concern about his judgment, more than
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: with Woltz. Even for a Pentagon chief who has copied
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Trump's style down to his sharpie signature in campaign style
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: videos headset, growing pile of mistakes are getting noticed. According
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to four officials and two people in touch with the administration,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: pile of mistakes is I want to know what the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: definition of a pile of mistakes is by politico. The
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: problem is this is another example of an experience that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a person close to the White House, so not in
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the White House, not in the administration, someone on the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: outside that they're claiming is somehow tight enough to do
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: this interview, who, like others, was granted aminemity to discuss
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a politically sensitive issue. What happens when headsett needs to
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: manage a real crisis question mark? Okay, I go back
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to what they just wrote. Where are the pile of mistakes?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: The Defense Department did not respond to requests for comment,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: but pending on spokesman Sean Parnell. By the way, I
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: know Sean Welly does a great job. Has reiterated that
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the White House and the White House attack against the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: journalists who was added to the chat? The Atlantic editor
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: in chief Jeff Goldberg saying, quote, these additional signal chat
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: messages confirm there were more classified materials or war plans
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: shared in reference to the Atlantic's release of text excerpts
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. The Secretary was merely updating the group on
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a plan that was underway and had already been briefed
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: through official channels. Headset address the issues briefly Wednesday during
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a week long trip to Asia, saying the information the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: messages doesn't look like war plans. You know who sees
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: war plans. I see them every single day. But the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: episode threatens. The quote overshadow his first big trip to
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the Indo Pacific, and it follows other prominent stumbles, including
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a walk back of his February remarks about Ukraine war
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: negotiations and Brussels, and an ill fitted effort to send
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: thousands of detained migrants to go Ontanamo Bay. By the way,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: ill fated it's happened. How was that ill fated? I
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: go back to their line that I read for you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: minute ago. They said it was a growing pile of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: mistakes by headseth show me the pile. Politico acts like
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: they they're like they've got all of this on him.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Show me the pile. I want to see the pile
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of mistakes, because you said there was a pile of mistakes.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: What is the pile, no doubt. Putting a journalist on
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: there that sucks. I was a screw up on the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I want to be clear. I am the first to
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: admit that. Okay, I want to be very clear. Should
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it cost his job or anybody else's job? Hell no.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Are they doing an amazing job? Yes? Is there a
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: pile of mistakes?
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: No?
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And if there was, they would have given you the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: pile of mistakes at the top of the article. They
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: didn't because there isn't one. It's called slander, it's called lies,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it's called political propaganda. It's the same crap they're doing
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: against Trump. It's the same crap they're doing against Elon.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: It's the same crap they're doing about Pete Because the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: organized Democratic Party and the state sponsored media that takes
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: their plays from the Democratic Party, all they're caring about
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: right now is they want to take down somebody in
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Trump world. So next week it may be somebody else,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: but this is their ultimate goal and they're going to
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: do it no matter what. By lying, I promise you that,
