Telegram CEO Arrested??? Here's Who Is Really Behind It. (Ep.29) · V

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bonzina Report Early Edition. I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: your host, Avita. We have some really big stories to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: get to today. We're going to discuss who's really behind
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, the deep state.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is trying to get RFK Jr. killed in retaliation for
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: his endorsement of Trump. RFK Jr. 's sick and disordered
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: family publicly disavows him over his endorsement of Trump. Why
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the American Evita, and I don't mean me,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I mean Eva Peron from Argentina. A Washington, D.C. family
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: loses custody of their autistic son because they refuse to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: chemically castrate and mutilate him. And lastly, Christian churches across
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: America are being converted into mosques. All this on Bungina
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Report Early Edition. Quick reminder, you guys, that Dan's show
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: will be recording at 10 a.m. Eastern time. Is that right, Mikey?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: So an hour earlier than usual because he's got some
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: big stories to cover for us about the Trump assassination attempt.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that. But we have to talk
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about on this show, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, who was
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: arrested in France on Sunday after arriving from Azerbaijan on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a private jet, on his private jet. And he was
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: reportedly arrested on allegations that he failed to moderate content
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on Telegram. So in other words, He allowed free speech
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to flourish on his platform, and now he's facing a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: potential 20-year prison sentence on charges including terrorism, narcotics trafficking, fraud,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: money laundering, and receiving stolen goods. So again, he is
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: being charged for any illegal activity that took place on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: his free speech platform. And Chris Pavlosky from Rumble literally
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: had to flee Europe over the weekend out of fear
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that he would face a similar fate because he allows
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: free speech on This app, Rumble. Now, for those of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you who don't know, I use Telegram. I know a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: lot of right-wingers who use Telegram because again, it is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: an authentically free speech app. But if you don't know
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: what Telegram is, it's a messaging app. It allows users
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to send text messages, voice messages, photos, videos, basically files
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of any type. And it supports a few different types
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of communication. So there's group chats, right? Just like a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: text messaging group chat that you'd have on your iPhone
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: or Android. And then there's channels for broadcasting messages to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: large audiences. So if I have a Telegram channel, I said, okay,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you guys all join my Telegram channel. I'll send messages
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to out on my channel. You can all see them,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: but you guys can't send messages yourself because it's my channel.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Perhaps if I allow it, you can comment on messages
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that I send. I sort of like a Twitter feed, right?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Is really what it is. And then Telegram also has
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: end to end encrypted secret chat. So basically all you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: need to know is that Telegram is very secure and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: uncontrolled by government officials around the world. Because unlike apps
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like X or Facebook, Telegram's founder and CEO refuses to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: cooperate with law enforcement because he really, really cares about
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the privacy of his users. He makes a promise. This
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is an app that will protect you, protect your safety,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: protect your privacy, and he follows through. So the question is,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: who made this arrest happen? Is it just the French?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Is it only the French? I don't think so. And
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of others who are experts in the deep state,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in the security state, don't think so either. It is
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: very likely that the U.S. State Department is behind all
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of this. Earlier this year, Tucker Carlson interviewed Durov. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: here is Durov telling Tucker what happens to him anytime
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: he comes to America and why he runs Telegram out
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of the UAE and not the United States.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Whenever I would go to the U.S., I would have,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: two FBI agents greeting me at the airport, asking questions.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: One time I was having my breakfast at 9 a.m.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and the FBI showed up at my house that I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: was renting. And that was quite surprising. And I thought,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you know, we're getting too much attention here. It's probably
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: not the best environment to run.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Why would they, had you committed a crime?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: They were interested to learn more about Telegram. They knew
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I left Russia. They knew what we were doing, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they wanted details. And my understanding is that they wanted
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to establish a relationship to, in a way, control Telegram better.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: They wanted to control Telegram better. Okay, you guys, it
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gets worse. Here is Durov explaining that our FBI tried
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to hire a Telegram employee to secretly put a backdoor
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: into the system to circumvent Telegram's encryption. Take a listen.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We get too much attention from the FBI, the security agencies,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: wherever we came to the US. So to give you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: an example, last time I was in the US, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: brought an engineer that is working for Telegram, and there
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was an attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: back by cybersecurity officers or agents, whatever they are called.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: The US government should hire your engineer? That's my understanding.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: That's what he told me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: To write code for them or to break into Telegram?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: They were curious to learn which open source libraries are
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: integrated to the Telegram's app. on the client side, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: they were trying to persuade him to use certain open
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: source tools that he would then integrate into the Telegram's
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: code that, in my understanding, would serve as backdoors.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Would allow the U.S. government to spy on people who
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: use Telegram.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: The U.S. government, or maybe any other government, because a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: backdoor is a backdoor regardless of who is using it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So they asked Durov, can we have a collaboration with you?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Can we know sort of what your technology is like?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Durov says no. So then they try to secretly hire
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: someone to infiltrate Telegram and create a backdoor for the U.S.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: government to spy on people that use Telegram. And elsewhere
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in this interview, Durov said that he knows U.S. technology
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: is US-owned tech companies are not secure. It was abundantly
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: clear to him when he came to the United States
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and had this interference from our government officials that our apps,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: our technology does not care about American privacy. Our security
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: state is crawling over Facebook, over Instagram, over Google, over YouTube. Now,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: why would the State Department want Durov arrested? It's not
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that the U.S. government doesn't want Telegram to exist. They
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to set this precedent that tech companies are
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: legally liable for anything that happens on their platforms. That's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: really not what this is all about. Because again, they
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: don't really care about terrorism. They don't care about child pornography.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: They don't care about the things that they actually should
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: be caring about, right? Actual illegal activity. They care about
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: controlling people. They care about consolidating power among themselves. Here
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is Mike Benz, former deep state official and State Department whistleblower,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: explaining what the State Department wants from Telegram.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Because I believe the State Department is, at the very least,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: if not outright pushing, participating in this political prosecution. The
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: State Department has been going after Telegram. Now, they don't
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: want to shut Telegram down. Let me explain this. Telegram
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: is a double-edged sword for the State Department. Telegram played
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a major role in the State Department's fomenting of the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: color revolution in Belarus in the summer of 2020. The
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: National Endowment for Democracy, the U.S. State Department, and USAID
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: were all funding the major organizers of the street riots
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: in Belarus in and using Telegram as the main channel
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: to organize those street riots because Telegram has such ubiquitous
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: use in Eastern Europe, also in Russia, also in Ukraine.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So they loved Telegram as a way to organize rent-a-riots
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: to destabilize Lukashenko's government. And I bet that they would
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: do the same if they didn't. I'm not aware of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: it just because I haven't looked into it. But I
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: bet that when Alexei Navalny was deployed against Russia from
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: his right-wing flank in organizing peaceful protests in Russia, I
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: bet Telegram was used by the State Department as the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: coordination then because I know that it was in Belarus. Now,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: on the other hand, the State Department pressured actually AstroTurf
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: with tens of millions of dollars, the government of Brazil,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: to bring Telegram to its knees. Brazil passed a 40...
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: passed a ban, actually made it a crime to access
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Telegram for several weeks in 2022 until Telegram agreed to
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the new counter misinformation laws that were lobbied for. by
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: the u.s state department's ngo soft power swarm so what
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: they want to do is not kill telegram like kill
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: like they wanted to kill wikileaks they want to control it.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And also notice how he talks about the influence right
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of of our security state on other countries They can't
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: do it here and they can't do it themselves, right?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Because we have something called the Constitution, something called free
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: speech in America. So they use other countries, they bully
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: other governments to do their dirty work, essentially. And you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: guys all know that Google, we've talked about this on
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the show, it started as a DARPA grant. Tons of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: big tech companies are started by and heavily used by
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: our government to control the outcomes of elections abroad. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you can understand why a tech owner offering authentic privacy
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: who refuses to censor content and share private information at
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the behest of U.S. authorities would anger U.S. authorities. Some
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of the most accurate on the ground information about the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: situation that's happening in Ukraine is coming out of Telegram
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and NATO cannot control it. And of course, France is
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: happy to follow through with the U.S. State Department urgings
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to get rid of and arrest Telegram CEO because Telegram
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was used by Africans to organize against French presence and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: influence in their respective African countries. Again, Telegram is a
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: tool that authoritarian global elites cannot control. So they're lashing out.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And what needs to be done? The answer first is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: actually very simple. As Mike Benz wrote on X, members
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of Congress need to ask Denise Bauer, the U.S. ambassador
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to France, if she or any officials at the embassy
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: had any prior communications, meetings or dialogue directly or through
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: an intermediary with French government officials or French law enforcement
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: about Pavel Durov before his arrest. Very simple. And as
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: far as I.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Know, No U.S.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Officials have called for this or asked for this. Instead,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: we have Mike Benz on Twitter saying this is the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: obvious first step and our own elected officials are doing nothing.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It is unacceptable. I also want to flag for you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: guys what Edward Snowden tweeted over the weekend in response
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to all this. He said, first they came for TikTok, right?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: First they come for TikTok, then they come for Telegram.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And I really like that he brought up TikTok here.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You guys, I have been saying this forever. If you're
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: someone that supported the TikTok ban, listen up. This deep
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: state lobbied the Uniparty, Democrats and Republicans in Congress, to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: ban TikTok because the state cannot control TikTok. It isn't
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: an American company. I don't care where you stand on
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the Israel-Palestine issue. It's really sort of irrelevant. But what
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you need to know is that all over TikTok, young
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: people were labeling Joe Biden, Genocide Joe, and saying the U.S.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: government is murdering Palestinians. So this was really threatening to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: our state, among other reasons. There's a lot of reasons, right?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: The crux of it is that our government cannot control
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: TikTok because it's not an American company. And if you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: look at TikTok and compare things on TikTok versus, say,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Instagram Reels, which is a very similar platform, content that's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: allowed on Instagram Reels is not necessarily allowed on TikTok.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And content that's allowed on TikTok, not necessarily allowed on
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Instagram Reels. So it's good to have different apps with
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: different levels of censorship because then we end up actually
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: having more freedom. And the left and the right told
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: all of us, no, no, no, China, they're stealing your data.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It's so dangerous. Our government is stealing our data on
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: every single American app. Durov said it himself in his
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: interview with Tucker. None of the American apps beholden to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the deep state are safe for us to use. So
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: many people on the right bought the excuse that TikTok
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is such a great threat and we need to ban TikTok.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Is China stealing Americans' information? Via TikTok? I'm sure they are.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: But so is our government. And frankly, the government that's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: labeling MAGA supporters domestic terrorists poses a greater, more immediate
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: threat to me and you than the CCP at this time.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: We have to stop falling for these tricks. We have
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: to wake up. They manipulated us with this TikTok ban.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It's objectively good to have different levels of censorship on
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: different platforms. It means more free speech because the censorship
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: is different. All right, lastly, I want to note that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: when Durov was interviewed by Tucker, he described himself as
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a citizen of the world without a homeland because he
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: no longer could return to his birthplace of Russia because, again,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: he refused to cooperate with the Russian government and feared
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: arrest or worse if he stayed. But ultimately, Russia didn't
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: arrest Durov. France did. A U.S. ally. A NATO member.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: What does this mean? As Tucker wrote over the weekend,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: darkness is descending fast on the formerly free world. All right,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: switching gears to you guys. RFK Jr. endorsed Trump over
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the weekend, and he's removing himself from the ballot in
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: swing states in order to help President Trump. And Trump
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: announced that RFK will be joining his administration, if of
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: course he wins, in some capacity, including heading a presidential
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: commission on assassinations with full authority to declassify all documents
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: related to JFK, RFK, and January 13th, which is of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: course the assassination attempt on Trump. This is huge news.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Some people online right now I'm not going to name names,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: but some people, they're blackpilling. They're saying it's not really
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: going to happen. Declassify doesn't mean unredacted. And you know
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: who's definitely not going to unredact or declassify anything? Deep
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: state installed Kamala Harris. So let's all stop being Debbie
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Downers and have some optimism here. Now, the position, it
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: appears Trump may be putting RFK Jr. in is Secretary
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: of Health. And here is what RFK Jr. said during
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Trump's rally in Arizona on Friday.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Don't you want a safe environment for your children? Don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: you want to know that the food that you're feeding
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: them is not filled with chemicals that are going to
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: give them cancer and chronic disease? And don't you want
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a president... That's going to make America healthy again.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: OK, so, yes, RFK wants to make America healthy again.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And Trump posted this hilarious side by side of RFK Jr.,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: who is very jacked for a guy his age next
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to obese Biden, trans secretary of health, Rachel Levin. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: if you're listening, the contrast is very stark here. I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: think I would prefer to get health advice from RFK Jr.,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: If you agree, please drop a comment. If you think
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: that Rachel Levin is the pinnacle of health, this obese
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: trans person, it's a man, but he thinks he's a woman.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Drop a comment. Let me know. Tell me why you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: think he's better at giving Americans advice on health. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you guys will believe what former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Yang posted over the weekend. He said, and this is
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: on Friday, the day that RFK Jr. endorsed Trump. I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: think Kamala Harris and the Democrats should immediately announce a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: panel to investigate the spike in chronic diseases and conditions
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: among children these past years and invite different figures to participate.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: This is a big issue for millions and could easily
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: tip the election. Guys, the Democrats are scared by this collaboration.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: They're going to try and take this issue and make
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: it Kamala's just like no tax on tips. I cannot
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: stress enough. how angry the Kamala campaign is over this news.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Kamala was completely booted from the headlines over the weekend,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: a day after the DNC, and Kamala is a non-story.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: We have some headlines here. You just see, I mean,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: it's all Trump and RFK Jr. Kamala is nowhere to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: be seen. Note the sources, all left-wing sources, Wall Street Journal, CBS,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: New York Times, all of them. So Kamala and the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: weaponized state are angry. And they're so angry that they
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: fully removed RFK Jr. 's Secret Service detail after his
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: announcement on Friday. And the regime media is posting stories
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: like this one from CBS. RFK Jr. 's Secret Service
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: protection ends after suspended campaign. The problem here? his campaign
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: was not suspended. Understand that RFK Jr. is still a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: candidate in all non-swing states. So what this is, so
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that's a lie, first of all, but what the state
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is doing is spiteful and potentially malicious. Denying him security
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: up until Trump almost died was also evil. And I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: really think they want this man dead. Part of why
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I think they want him dead is because of what
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: he's been articulating his entire campaign. The Democrats have abandoned
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: all principles and Kamala was installed by the permanent state.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Take a listen.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Instead of showing us her substance and character, The DNC
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Vice President Harris based upon nothing, no policies, no interviews,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: highly produced Chicago circus. There in Chicago is a string
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the first day. Who needs a policy when you have
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Trump to hate? In contrast, at the RNC convention, President
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Biden was mentioned only twice in four days. I do
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: interviews every day. Many of you have interviewed me. Anybody
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: who asks gets to interview me. Some days I do
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: as many as 10. President Trump, who actually was nominated
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: and won an election, also does interviews daily. How did
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: the Democratic Party choose a candidate that has never done
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: an interview or debate during the entire election cycle? We
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: know the answers. They did it by weaponizing the government agencies.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: They did it by abandoning democracy. They did it by
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: suing the opposition and by disenfranchising American voters.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: He eviscerates the regime. I mean, he encapsulates it all.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It just hits the nail on the head. This is
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: why our government is such a threat. They don't just
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: want to control elections abroad. They want to control them here. Now,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Democrats also enlisted the media to smear RFK Jr. The
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Daily Mail ran a story headline, RFK Jr. accused of
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: being a cocaine dealer at Harvard University as former classmate
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: speaks out. Okay, you guys, here's the issue with this article.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: They attached the headline with the most attractive RFK Jr.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: photo I have ever seen. If you're listening to the show,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: please go watch on Rumble or go look up this
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: story from the Daily Mail. See the picture of RFK Jr.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: He's a smoke show. He looks awesome. So, The story
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be about this hit piece. Some random
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: RFK Jr. former classmate comes in and says, oh, he
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: dealt coke when he was in college. Now the story
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: is about, wow, RFK Jr. was very, very attractive as
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a young man. And the media is even stupider for
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: attaching this hit piece with such a great photo of
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: RFK Jr. And again, compare that to Rachel Levin. Just
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: compare the types of people being installed in the Biden-Kamala
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: regime versus who Trump wants to put in a Trump administration.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: The difference is very stark, you guys. Now, not only
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: did the media come out and smear RFK Jr., so
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: did his family. Several of his cousins, siblings, grandchildren died.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: publicly condemned him for endorsing Trump. Five of RFK Jr.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: 's siblings, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Korten Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy, Chris Kennedy,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and Rory Kennedy, did so in a joint statement, which
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: reads in part, we believe in Harris and Walsh. Our
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: brother Bobby's decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of the values that our father and our family hold
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: most dear. It is sad. It is a sad ending
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to a sad story. You guys know what's a betrayal?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: publicly condemning your brother. It's the ultimate form of betrayal.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: RFK Jr. is their blood. What they did is so
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: incredibly sick. And I know better than most. As many
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: of you know, I am from the swing state of Wisconsin,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm from a big family. I'm one of nine,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and my dad is one of 11. And on my
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: dad's side, there's a pretty wide range of political views.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And when I was 10 years old, my dad ran
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: for Congress. And when he did, his Bernie bro parents
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: and his Democrat siblings never would have dreamed of publicly
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: condemning my father over their political disagreements because my family
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: is always, they have their priorities straight. They know that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: family always comes before politics. Family is everything. Here is
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a campaign ad we did about this very issue, our
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: family political disagreements back before he dropped out of the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: race a while ago.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: I'm Sean Duffy. Rachel and I have eight kids and
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: I have 10 siblings. Same parents, different politics. Some supported Trump, Hillary, Obama, Bernie.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: My brother Tim, you'd rather cast a line than a vote.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: At least Margarita agrees with me. Patrick, not so much.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: America's one big family, too. We won't always agree, but
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: if we treat each other with respect, we'll be okay.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I'm Sean Duffy, and I approve this message because I'm
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: not fighting my family. I'm fighting for yours.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, I just loved that ad because it was so
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: real from our family. Mikey, can we pull up the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: photo of the whole family? that possible? So this is my,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: like most of my family, like extended family here. So
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: if you see in that ad, it's a little bit
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: smaller than it actually is supposed to be, right? There's, there's,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and even there's people missing from this photo. So really
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: large family, lots of different political views, and we have
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: each other's backs. That's what family does. Betraying your family
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is truly uniquely disordered and wrong. As a Christian, we
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: understand that Family is divinely ordained. It's an institution that
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: reflects God's design for humanity. It is sacred. And authoritarian governments,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: they view family as a threat. Think about it. If
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you want to control the populace, you need people to
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: be loyal to the state, not their family. This is
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: why the left in this country does everything it can
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to break down the family. Joseph Stalin purposely fostered an
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: environment of intense suspicion and fear and actively encouraged family
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: members to inform on one another to demonstrate loyalty to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the party. And this atmosphere of mistrust and betrayal naturally
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: weakened traditional family bonds. Because if you can't trust your
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: family to voice your opinions, you can't trust anyone. And therefore,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: you remain subservient. There's a reason why Cain's murder of
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Abel is one of the first significant sins in the Bible.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: What the Kennedys have done is actually deeply disordered and evil.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: All right, back to Kamala. I was, oh, yes. Oh,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: we're at 10K over 10K. That's awesome. Thank you guys
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: so much for listening in. Love to see those numbers. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about Kamala Harris again. I was
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: reading and planning my show over the weekend, and I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: saw this headline, and for half a second, I thought
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that the Daily Wire was writing some sort of hit
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: piece on me. And the article is titled, Is Kamala
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Harris the American Evita? But of course, the headline is
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: not in reference to me. It is in reference to
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Eva Peron, the famous, and in my view, infamous, first
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: lady of Argentina from over 70 years ago. And fun fact,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: if you ever wonder what my name is, Evita, my
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: mom loves Madonna. Madonna played Evita in the movie musical Evita.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: So it was a way for my mom to name
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: me after Madonna without naming me Madonna. But I'd like
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to cover this article with you all because I think
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that it's a really good comparison. The author, Simon Hankinson,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: he writes that at first glance, Vice President Kamala Harris
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: has little in common with Eva Peron. But when you
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: look closer, they are alarmingly similar. Evita and her husband,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Juan Peron, bought votes by handing the masses tons and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: tons of benefits and tanking the economy. And likewise, Biden
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: used COVID to give, Biden and Kamala, right? The Biden-Kamala
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: administration used COVID to give us the American Rescue Plan
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and the Inflation Reduction Act, which printed trillions into the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: money supply and drove up inflation and therefore prices down.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: The author also covers the student loan giveaway and the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: billions in FEMA grants given to charities and reallocate inadmissible
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens throughout the country. and to the Biden supporting
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: cities and states that house them for free. And of course,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: it's not for free. And there's taxpayer subsidies, subsidized Medicaid
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and Obamacare for DACA, DACA, you know, immigrants, right? Harris
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: expands on Biden's Peron-style governing. She makes it worse. She
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: wants to give illegal aliens an earned pathway to citizenship,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: aka amnesty, eliminate medical debt by transferring it to the
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: rest of us, give first-time house buyers $ 25, 000 and $ 40
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: billion in subsidies, tax credits for builders, ban price gouging
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: for groceries, and cap prescription drug costs. And as Simon notes,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the last two ideas are very dangerous communist price controls.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And the thing about Kamala's being America's Evita, is that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Evita is pretty hard to run against. It's hard for
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the financial responsibility agenda to beat the free stuff agenda.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: But if we don't, the consequences are going to be
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: very great.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Switching gears to you guys, a Washington, D.C. military family
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: lost custody of their 16-year-old autistic son because they refused
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: to transition him, which means, of course, chemically castrate and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: mutilate him. Back in 2021, the hospital where the boy
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: was staying after self-harming in response to a breakup used
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: emergency policies to keep him in their care because the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: parents refused to use she-her pronouns with their son. The family...
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: is accusing the hospital of launching a campaign to transgender
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: this child, and the hospital staff also is being accused
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of engaging in mental reprogramming of this young autistic boy.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: The hospital was still able to, of course, report the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: parents to Child Protective Services, and the boy was placed
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: in foster care and has not returned home since. And
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: the family has been fighting for custody for two years,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: and have had to sell their home and business to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: cover legal expenses. Think about what this means, you guys.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: The state can take your children for ideological reasons. If
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you believe in biological reality, you're unfit to be a parent.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: This is evil, evil stuff. It means your normal traditional family,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: your family is not safe from the government. And I'm
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: gonna come back to the story in a second, but
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I have to get to my last story really quickly here.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: A Christian congregation in Connecticut that dates back to the 1600s,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: has sold its church building to a Muslim group that
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: plans to turn the building into a mosque for a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: million dollars. The colonial era United Congregational Church was built
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: in the Gregorian revival style and once had a congregation
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: of over 3,000 members, but today it is just 300.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: The United Congregational Church plans to rent out a temporary
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: space in another building and will collaborate with the Bridgepoint
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Islamic Community Center to run a soup kitchen and homeless
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: shelter that will be located at the Islamic Center. And
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: United Congressional Church Reverend Sarah Smith said after the sale,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: this is much bigger than a sale of a building.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: It's about healing wounds. It's about building peace. It's about
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: making friends. It's about showing a witness to the world
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that the children of Abraham and everybody else included can
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: work together, can live together in respect and dignity. Isn't
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: that what all of our faiths are about? And Ahmed Ibrahim,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: who heads the Bridgepoint Islamic Community Center, told the Wall
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Street Journal that he purchased a historic building because it's
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: already zoned for religious use and has the space needed
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: for the 1,000 Muslim families in the Bridgeport area that
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: expect to worship and pray at the mosque. He said
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: it's a perfect fit for our needs, adding that the
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: outgoing Christian congregation will help prepare the building by removing
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: the cross from the altar. And this article also notes
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that the conversion of former churches into mosques or Islamic
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: worship centers is happening across America. For example, the Catholic
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Holy Trinity Church in Syracuse, New York was turned into
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: a mosque recently and Syracuse.com reported that transforming the Holy
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Trinity Church into a mosque required taking down, covering up
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and painting over 10,000 crosses. And of course, This is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: happening at an even greater scale in Europe. And it's
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: really devastating for the West because for centuries, our identity
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: was our Christian faith, our unity in Christ. For America, especially,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: it's a radical departure. The left wants us to believe
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: that this is a morally relative nation, but we were
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: founded as a Christian nation. Of course, we have religious freedom,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: but with the understanding that the majority of the populace
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: should be Christian. Otherwise there's no widely held moral framework
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to defend freedom of religion. Think about it. How tolerant
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: are Islamic countries of other faiths? How tolerant are secular
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: humanists of other faiths? Secularists are constantly persecuting Christians and
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: pushing us out of the public square. This is why
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: our founders intended for the nation to be populated by Christians.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: In the beginning of the Republic, Constitutional Republic. We had
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: laws such as religious tests for office. We had Sabbath
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: laws and Christian blasphemy laws. Now, the founders didn't want
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the state to support a specific sect of Christianity, but
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: we were always meant to be a predominantly Christian nation.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: As John Adams said, our constitution was made only for
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the government of any other. All the founders agreed that
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: What this Christianization of the West means is that we
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: were united under something and had a moral framework for
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the freedoms that we all enjoy. What the dechristianization of
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the West means is an end to those liberties afforded
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to us by Christianity. It is physical and moral slavery
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: on the horizon. And guys, we can't lose sight of
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the spiritual battle that we're in. The deep state spits
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: on our constitution as it jails pro-lifers, surveils MAGA supporters
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and traditional Catholics, takes children away from parents who don't
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: want to mutilate their children, contacts social media companies to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: censor disfavored speech, and orchestrates the imprisonment of a man
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: who seeks to actually defend free speech, the CEO of Telegram.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: The abandonment of the Constitution is an abandonment of the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: moral foundation that once blessed this country. And as Tucker said,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: dark times are really ahead. All right, that's all I
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: have for you guys today. I'm sorry I went a
