- 2:37Speaker 1: Good morning to JW66WNY716. That's a very complicated username, but
- 2:42Speaker 1: I rolled through it with professionalism this morning. Let's start
- 2:46Speaker 1: with the James Comey saga today. James freaking Comey. Comey
- 2:53Speaker 1: just got slapped yesterday with yet another indictment from the
- 2:57Speaker 1: United States Department of Justice, this time for his shell
- 3:01Speaker 1: art on a beach where he put shells together to
- 3:05Speaker 1: declare 86-47 and then acted like he just stumbled upon them.
- 3:11Speaker 1: He had no idea what was happening. even going on. Look,
- 3:13Speaker 1: random shells. They look like numbers, don't they, sweetie? You
- 3:17Speaker 1: should post it to Instagram, his wife says. In fact, remember,
- 3:21Speaker 1: here's James Comey last year once the rest of us
- 3:23Speaker 1: were like, wait a second, eliminate Trump? You posted an
- 3:26Speaker 1: eliminate Trump photo to Instagram? What's wrong with you? You're
- 3:30Speaker 1: a psychopath. Here's James Comey trying to explain it all
- 3:33Speaker 1: the way while he was hawking his new stupid book
- 3:35Speaker 1: last year. Cut six, watch this. But you, you, is
- 3:39Speaker 1: this Instagram?
- 3:40Speaker 3: Instagram, yeah.
- 3:41Speaker 2: You grammed this.
- 3:42Speaker 1: You were walking on the beach. What happened? You were
- 3:44Speaker 1: walking on the beach, and you saw this on the beach?
- 3:46Speaker 4: Yeah, my wife and I, Patrice, were walking on the
- 3:48Speaker 4: beach and saw those numbers in shells.
- 3:51Speaker 5: On the beach.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You didn't do this.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Somebody else did this. Yeah, somebody else did it. We
- 3:54Speaker 4: were on a walk preparing for this week, the rollout
- 3:56Speaker 4: of my book. She looked at it and said, why'd
- 3:59Speaker 4: someone put their address in the sand?
- 4:00Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:01Speaker 1: And then we stood at.
- 4:02Speaker 4: It, looked at it, trying to figure out what it was,
- 4:05Speaker 4: and she'd long been a server in restaurants, and she said,
- 4:07Speaker 4: you know what I think it is?
- 4:08Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:09Speaker 4: I think it's a reference to restaurants when you would
- 4:11Speaker 4: 86 something in a restaurant.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Right, it's off the menu. Yeah, I said, I remember when.
- 4:15Speaker 4: I was a kid, you'd say 86 to get out
- 4:17Speaker 4: of a place. This place stinks, let's 86 it.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I was a bartender. You would 86 a customer if
- 4:21Speaker 1: they were getting drunk. Like, let's 86 them. Let's give
- 4:23Speaker 1: them a low-proof alcohol. Something like that, yeah.
- 4:26Speaker 4: And so I said, I think it's a clever political message.
- 4:29Speaker 4: And she said, you should take a picture of it.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I said, sure.
- 4:32Speaker 4: And then she said, you should Instagram that. And boom.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Well... It was my wife's fault. He blamed his wife.
- 4:42Speaker 1: James Comey did. And when, in fact, you know very
- 4:46Speaker 1: well what happened. His overgrown ass was lying on the beach,
- 4:50Speaker 1: shaping shells into numbers and then posting them to his
- 4:53Speaker 1: Instagram account like he's a teenage girl. The guy who
- 4:56Speaker 1: posts selfie videos talking about his love for Taylor Swift
- 5:00Speaker 1: was definitely doing shell art on the beach.
- 5:02Speaker 3: 86-47.
- 5:05Speaker 1: You love how he feigns ignorance. Like the two of them. Oh,
- 5:08Speaker 1: we walked up on it and then we stared at him.
- 5:10Speaker 1: We thought, why would someone write an address on the beach?
- 5:13Speaker 1: An address? What a con artist. You're not a very
- 5:15Speaker 1: good one, by the way. What a con artist.
- 5:18Speaker 6: An address.
- 5:19Speaker 1: If it's an address, where's the road? What are you
- 5:21Speaker 1: talking about? You didn't think it was an address? You
- 5:23Speaker 1: drew it, you dumbass. That's James Comey. This is the
- 5:28Speaker 1: same sort of like, kind of like feigned ignorance that
- 5:31Speaker 1: you get from, like earlier this week, we got from
- 5:33Speaker 1: Nora O'Donnell. Remember that clip where President Trump sits down
- 5:36Speaker 1: with her after the assassination attempt? Yet another assassination attempt.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Yet another lefty tries to 86-47 this past weekend. And
- 5:45Speaker 1: President Trump sits down with Nora O'Donnell on CBS. And
- 5:49Speaker 1: then she starts saying, well, the guy wrote in the
- 5:51Speaker 1: manifesto that you're a rapist and a pedophile and a traitor.
- 5:55Speaker 1: What do you have to say to that? And the
- 5:57Speaker 1: president said, you're a disgrace. And she goes, oh, you
- 6:00Speaker 1: thought he was talking about you? Feigned ignorance. Not very
- 6:06Speaker 1: clever feigned ignorance.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 6:08Speaker 1: But it gives the game away. When your excuses are
- 6:12Speaker 1: that absurd, when you pretend that you're that stupid, then
- 6:15Speaker 1: everybody knows that you're that guilty. So in Comey's case,
- 6:20Speaker 1: it's just like ridiculous what he was doing. Absolutely ridiculous.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Clearly ridiculous. trying to whip his left-wing cheerleaders into a
- 6:29Speaker 1: complete frenzy. Look, I said we got to eliminate Trump.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Don't you agree? And then pretended like, oh, I didn't
- 6:35Speaker 1: have anything to do with it. Not good.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Not good.
- 6:37Speaker 1: In fact, criminal, according to the United States Department of Justice,
- 6:40Speaker 1: which under Todd Blanch, the acting attorney general right now,
- 6:45Speaker 1: just dropped a big fat indictment on James Comey's head yesterday.
- 6:49Speaker 1: A grand jury with two charges against Here's Todd Blanch
- 6:53Speaker 1: yesterday announcing the charges, both involving threats against the President
- 6:57Speaker 1: of the United States. Watch this, cut to.
- 6:59Speaker 7: Today, a grand jury sitting in the Eastern District of
- 7:01Speaker 7: North Carolina returned an indictment against James Comey on two counts.
- 7:07Speaker 7: The first count is that on or about May 15th
- 7:10Speaker 7: of last year, he knowingly and willfully making a threat
- 7:14Speaker 7: to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm
- 7:17Speaker 7: upon the President of the United States.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Count two.
- 7:20Speaker 7: Same day, May 15th, 2025, that the defendant, James Comey,
- 7:25Speaker 7: knowingly and willfully transmitting in interstate commerce a communication that
- 7:30Speaker 7: contained a threat to kill the president of the United States.
- 7:33Speaker 7: Both of these counts carry a maximum term of imprisonment
- 7:37Speaker 7: of 10 years. So I think it's fair to say
- 7:42Speaker 7: that threatening the life of anybody is dangerous and potentially
- 7:48Speaker 7: a crime. Threatening the life of the president of the
- 7:52Speaker 7: United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Now, I want to talk about venues here for a moment.
- 7:59Speaker 1: You hear from Todd Blanche. This is happening in the
- 8:01Speaker 1: Eastern District of North Carolina, Eastern District of North Carolina. Now,
- 8:06Speaker 1: if in case you're concerned about, you know, where where
- 8:08Speaker 1: do Democrats concentrate in in North Carolina? That's in the West.
- 8:14Speaker 1: That's the western side of the state. The eastern side
- 8:17Speaker 1: of the state, you're going to get a lot more conservatives.
- 8:19Speaker 1: In other words, you're going to get a lot more
- 8:20Speaker 1: rational people, people who will consider this case fairly. They
- 8:23Speaker 1: will adhere to the Constitution. They will adhere to the law.
- 8:26Speaker 1: They will adhere to justice. And they will render judgments
- 8:29Speaker 1: on the basis of that. Eastern North Carolina, love Eastern
- 8:33Speaker 1: North Carolina. I've spent a lot of years of my
- 8:34Speaker 1: life in Eastern North Carolina living on specifically Camp Lejeune,
- 8:38Speaker 1: North Carolina. My dad, a Marine, we spent a lot
- 8:40Speaker 1: of time there. I worked there in local radio, worked
- 8:43Speaker 1: there in the local newspaper business. Loved it. Love Eastern
- 8:47Speaker 1: North Carolina. Great people. Just absolutely wonderful Americans. And so,
- 8:51Speaker 1: in other words, the jury pool of Eastern North Carolina
- 8:54Speaker 1: is composed of wonderful Americans who are going to make
- 8:56Speaker 1: rational decisions about how to handle James Comey here, which
- 9:00Speaker 1: is good. Everybody, if you stand criminally accused, you deserve
- 9:03Speaker 1: a fair day in court. And James Comey is going
- 9:06Speaker 1: to get a fair day in court in Eastern North Carolina.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Love that.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Now, distinguish that from the Eastern District of Virginia, where
- 9:13Speaker 1: you had a situation where a grand jury did return
- 9:17Speaker 1: charges against Comey, and this was for lying to Congress,
- 9:22Speaker 1: lying about his dissemination of information to the media. And
- 9:26Speaker 1: yet that case collapsed given the judges who were involved
- 9:30Speaker 1: in sort of the corruption inside the jurisdiction. These problems
- 9:35Speaker 1: don't exist in the Eastern District of North Carolina right now,
- 9:38Speaker 1: God willing. It looks like we're in a much better
- 9:40Speaker 1: venue for a real prosecution of this guy. So keep
- 9:44Speaker 1: an eye on that element. That's a huge piece of this.
- 9:47Speaker 1: And we'll explore the specifics here because, you know, obviously
- 9:50Speaker 1: James Comey is already mounting like this sort of ignorance defense, like, oh,
- 9:54Speaker 1: I didn't know I was threatening the guy and I
- 9:55Speaker 1: have my free speech rights and I can post this
- 9:57Speaker 1: to Instagram. We'll address all of that in a moment.
- 9:59Speaker 1: But first, I just want to concentrate on to what
- 10:02Speaker 1: extent is this a politicized prosecution, as the left would say,
- 10:05Speaker 1: that this is some sort of selective prosecution dedicated to
- 10:08Speaker 1: only the president's political opponents? Todd Blanche says it's nonsense
- 10:13Speaker 1: because this very district keeps prosecuting people for threatening government
- 10:18Speaker 1: officials and presidents of the United States of both political parties.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Here's Todd Blanche yesterday describing this. Listen, cut three.
- 10:28Speaker 7: So I think it's fair to say that threatening the
- 10:32Speaker 7: life of anybody is dangerous and potentially a crime. Threatening
- 10:38Speaker 7: the life of the President of the United States will
- 10:41Speaker 7: never be tolerated by the Department of Justice. Over the
- 10:45Speaker 7: past year, this department has charged dozens of cases involving
- 10:51Speaker 7: threats against all sorts of individuals. We take these seriously,
- 10:57Speaker 7: every single one of them. For example, just today in
- 11:01Speaker 7: the Northern District of Florida, there was a guilty plea
- 11:04Speaker 7: from an individual who threatened multiple political leaders, including President Trump.
- 11:10Speaker 7: In the Eastern District of North Carolina, where this case
- 11:12Speaker 7: was indicted earlier today, there are multiple threats cases very
- 11:17Speaker 7: similar to this one, including one where the defendant pled
- 11:20Speaker 7: guilty recently to threatening former President Biden, another one that's
- 11:24Speaker 7: scheduled to go to trial this summer, another one indicted,
- 11:28Speaker 7: an individual was indicted for threatening Tom Homan. I say
- 11:35Speaker 7: that to say that while this case is unique and
- 11:39Speaker 7: this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant,
- 11:42Speaker 7: his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that
- 11:45Speaker 7: we will never tolerate and that we will always investigate
- 11:50Speaker 7: and regularly prosecute.
- 11:51Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you are. Nobody's above the law.
- 11:57Speaker 1: Your stature, your name ID is not a shield from accountability,
- 12:02Speaker 1: nor should it be. So when you say you want
- 12:05Speaker 1: to eliminate the president of the United States and you
- 12:07Speaker 1: write it out in shell art on the beach, you
- 12:10Speaker 1: should be held accountable for your own actions, which is
- 12:13Speaker 1: what Comey is being subjected to right now. Now, there
- 12:16Speaker 1: are no guarantees about the way this process plays out.
- 12:19Speaker 1: You know, James Comey may mount some sort of successful defense.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Who knows if he gets a judge that helps throw
- 12:25Speaker 1: this out? You know, even Jonathan Turley this morning, I
- 12:28Speaker 1: saw posting about this. Turley, no fan of Comey at all.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley came out this morning and he said the
- 12:36Speaker 1: following about this indictment. He said in his new column,
- 12:39Speaker 1: he goes, I've been one of Comey's longest and most
- 12:41Speaker 1: vocal critics. However, it's the Constitution, not Comey, that must
- 12:43Speaker 1: drive this analysis. He thinks the indictment is unlikely to
- 12:46Speaker 1: survive First Amendment challenges. Maybe true.
- 12:50Speaker 5: Maybe.
- 12:52Speaker 1: But the reality here is that the Justice Department is
- 12:55Speaker 1: bringing this case with evidence. with evidence. In fact, yesterday,
- 13:01Speaker 1: one of the reporters asked Todd Blanche, how are you
- 13:05Speaker 1: going to prove his intent here? He says that it
- 13:07Speaker 1: was just innocent, that they just stumbled upon this on
- 13:09Speaker 1: the beach. And Todd Blanche says, we're going to prove
- 13:12Speaker 1: it the way every case is proven, with evidence, all
- 13:16Speaker 1: of it. Cut five, watch this.
- 13:19Speaker 8: So how will you prove intent when, as the director
- 13:23Speaker 8: had acknowledged, Mr.
- 13:25Speaker 6: Comey said he did not.
- 13:26Speaker 9: Associate 86 with doing harm, and he took it down promptly,
- 13:30Speaker 9: said it was political speech, not an intent.
- 13:32Speaker 6: To harm the president.
- 13:34Speaker 7: Well, it's not, it's not, this case was indicted today.
- 13:38Speaker 7: This conduct occurred about a year ago, May 15th of
- 13:41Speaker 7: last year. There's been a tremendous amount of investigation, and
- 13:45Speaker 7: how do you prove intent in any case? You prove
- 13:47Speaker 7: intent with witnesses, with documents, with the defendant himself, to
- 13:51Speaker 7: the extent it's appropriate. And that's how it will improve
- 13:54Speaker 7: intent in this case. And so I think that talking
- 13:58Speaker 7: about what Mr. Comey will or will not do if
- 14:02Speaker 7: there's a trial, when there's a trial, it's very premature
- 14:05Speaker 7: for me to do that today.
- 14:07Speaker 1: With evidence. It won't just be the post. It'll be everything.
- 14:12Speaker 1: It'll be everything. We're going to present to you every
- 14:15Speaker 1: last piece of evidence we have on this subject. And
- 14:19Speaker 1: we'll get to the bottom of this. Remember, James Comey
- 14:21Speaker 1: was interviewed by government officials after he made this threat.
- 14:24Speaker 1: The Secret Service paid him a visit. They talked to him.
- 14:27Speaker 1: He made statements to them. All of this is going
- 14:29Speaker 1: to go into the evidence in this case against him.
- 14:34Speaker 1: And the Justice Department felt confident enough that these charges
- 14:37Speaker 1: could stand up through a court process that they brought
- 14:39Speaker 1: the charges. So now James Comey is going to have
- 14:42Speaker 1: his day in court. Now, remember, somebody in the chat
- 14:44Speaker 1: just said this, too, and I completely agree with this.
- 14:47Speaker 1: That the process is a punishment here. Now, that's not
- 14:51Speaker 1: the reason this is being done. It's not merely to
- 14:54Speaker 1: subject him to the process. They're doing this because they
- 14:56Speaker 1: believe he genuinely violated the law and they're accusing him
- 14:59Speaker 1: of that. And so now he's got to go to
- 15:00Speaker 1: court to prove otherwise. But this is a situation where
- 15:05Speaker 1: James Comey's got to pay a lawyer. James Comey, he's
- 15:07Speaker 1: got to be, he's got to be, he's arrested, he's arraigned,
- 15:10Speaker 1: he's mugshot it, he goes through the process. This is all,
- 15:13Speaker 1: he's now being subjected to a process that the left
- 15:15Speaker 1: has gleefully subjected Donald Trump to over and over and
- 15:19Speaker 1: over again on the basis of false charges, false charges
- 15:24Speaker 1: that Trump violated laws when he didn't. Now James Comey
- 15:28Speaker 1: is being accused of violating a law when it looks
- 15:30Speaker 1: pretty clearly like he did. So now he's got to
- 15:33Speaker 1: go through the process too. Again, and he's miserable about it.
- 15:36Speaker 2: Good.
- 15:36Speaker 1: It couldn't happen to a better person. Comey deserves it.
- 15:39Speaker 1: He definitely does. So this is this is a kind
- 15:43Speaker 1: of a fascinating development. I I like seeing that Todd
- 15:46Speaker 1: Blanche is doing this. I I'm interested. I think there's
- 15:49Speaker 1: something going on in chat. You tell me if you
- 15:51Speaker 1: feel like this is. This is your view, too. Do
- 15:55Speaker 1: you feel like Todd Blanche represents a sea change at
- 15:57Speaker 1: the Justice Department? Chad, tell me, do you think Todd
- 16:02Speaker 1: Blanch represents a meaningful change from Pam Bondi at the
- 16:06Speaker 1: United States Department of Justice? Is this your sense? Because
- 16:12Speaker 1: I feel like what we are witnessing right now is
- 16:15Speaker 1: the prosecutorial floodgates are starting to be opened right now
- 16:19Speaker 1: at levels. Now, I'm not condemning Pam Bondi's tenure. I
- 16:23Speaker 1: think Pam Bondi, there's a lot that the Justice Department
- 16:26Speaker 1: has to be proud of from the time that she
- 16:28Speaker 1: was in office. Specifically, as it relates to the activities
- 16:31Speaker 1: of the FBI, which falls under the Justice Department. The
- 16:33Speaker 1: fact that they were able to get the murder rate
- 16:35Speaker 1: to the lowest level, the fact that they were bringing
- 16:37Speaker 1: all these prosecutions against a lot of Democrats. I've gone
- 16:41Speaker 1: through the list before. A lot of Democrats have been prosecuted,
- 16:44Speaker 1: high-profile people, to include James Comey. That was in the
- 16:46Speaker 1: Eastern District of Virginia, as I said before. But something
- 16:49Speaker 1: feels meaningfully different about Todd Blanch here. Because what did
- 16:53Speaker 1: we see just in the last week? The Southern Poverty
- 16:55Speaker 1: Law Center, this epic money center, On the left, James Comey,
- 16:59Speaker 1: now prosecutor in the Eastern District of North Carolina. We
- 17:03Speaker 1: just got, and I'm going to get into the details
- 17:05Speaker 1: on this in just a moment. We just got a
- 17:06Speaker 1: massive indictment of one of the leading operators in the
- 17:11Speaker 1: COVID conspiracy. against the United States of America. Not a
- 17:15Speaker 1: small deal, massive deal. As Anthony Fauci got a fat
- 17:19Speaker 1: pardon from President Autopen, his second in command, this guy
- 17:22Speaker 1: David Morins, his chief henchman, just prosecuted by the United
- 17:25Speaker 1: States Department of Justice on the basis of stuff that
- 17:28Speaker 1: we actually knew about years ago, finally being prosecuted now
- 17:31Speaker 1: under Todd Blanch. Is that a coincidence? I think what's
- 17:36Speaker 1: happening right now is, and chat's agreeing with me, for
- 17:39Speaker 1: those of you listening on the audio podcast, they do
- 17:41Speaker 1: think Blanche represents a sea change. Blanche is doing something
- 17:46Speaker 1: that Pam Bondi was not. Blanche is doing something that
- 17:50Speaker 1: Pam Bondi was not. And I'm here for it because
- 17:54Speaker 1: accountability is what I voted for. Accountability is what you
- 17:57Speaker 1: voted for. We voted for criminal accountability for people who
- 18:00Speaker 1: broke our laws and hurt our country. And all of
- 18:04Speaker 1: a sudden, we've got rapid fire.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Prosecutions all coming out right now. It's amazing. It's amazing.
- 18:13Speaker 1: And we'll get into more of it here in just
- 18:15Speaker 1: a moment, including the fact that yesterday, did you guys
- 18:18Speaker 1: see this? The FBI raided the Quality Learing Center.

- 20:02Speaker 1: media freakout is definitely here. But look, just to finish
- 20:07Speaker 1: on the Comey indictment here for a moment, and we've
- 20:09Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about because the Justice Department
- 20:11Speaker 1: was staying very busy yesterday. Here is the U.S. attorney
- 20:14Speaker 1: in the Eastern District of Virginia yesterday. The Eastern District,
- 20:17Speaker 1: excuse me, of North Carolina yesterday. Boyle is his last name.
- 20:21Speaker 1: And here's what he was saying about why this is
- 20:24Speaker 1: taking place and how James Comey is not going to
- 20:27Speaker 1: receive any special treatment whatsoever.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Listen. Thank you, Mr.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Attorney General. Earlier today, a grand jury in the Eastern
- 20:37Speaker 5: District of North Carolina returned a true bill indicting Mr.
- 20:41Speaker 5: James Comey with committing two felonies. Count one, he knowingly
- 20:47Speaker 5: and willfully made a threat to kill and to inflict
- 20:50Speaker 5: bodily harm upon the President of the United States in
- 20:54Speaker 5: violation of 18 USC 871A. Count two, He knowingly and
- 21:02Speaker 5: willfully transmitted an interstate and foreign commerce, a communication that
- 21:08Speaker 5: contained a threat to kill President Trump in violation of
- 21:14Speaker 5: 18 USC.
- 21:17Speaker 2: 875C. Mr.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Comey will be given every form of due process all
- 21:24Speaker 5: citizens are entitled to receive, to include a trial by
- 21:29Speaker 5: a jury of his peers. In the Eastern District of
- 21:33Speaker 5: North Carolina, it doesn't matter who you are. We take
- 21:37Speaker 5: all threat cases seriously and prosecute anyone who violates federal law,
- 21:44Speaker 5: regardless of title or status.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 21:49Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you, Mr.
- 21:50Speaker 2: U.S. Attorney.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Appreciate you, brother, for doing this. So James Comey now
- 21:56Speaker 1: being prosecuted for his threats. You know, and Comey, And
- 21:59Speaker 1: through the years, you know, even in even in the
- 22:02Speaker 1: reinterpretation of 86, 47, I didn't mean to kill him.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I didn't mean to kill him. I just meant to
- 22:07Speaker 1: stagnate him. I meant to hog tie him. I meant
- 22:09Speaker 1: to slow him down. Well, James Comey has been pulling
- 22:12Speaker 1: that kind of crap for years, too. Remember, he leaked
- 22:15Speaker 1: his personal conversations with the president of the United States,
- 22:19Speaker 1: memorialized on official government documents to The New York Times.
- 22:23Speaker 1: And then he claimed that, oh, those were my personal memos,
- 22:27Speaker 1: therefore I was allowed to leak them. No, you weren't.
- 22:29Speaker 1: Those were government documents. You absolute scam artist. And he
- 22:33Speaker 1: did that to get a special counsel appointed, Bob Mueller,
- 22:36Speaker 1: remember that? And then Mueller gets appointed, and then the
- 22:39Speaker 1: rest is history. The rest is history. The Trump-Russia collusion
- 22:43Speaker 1: conspiracy hoax was given some of its biggest flames by
- 22:48Speaker 1: the most gas on the fire by James Comey. And
- 22:51Speaker 1: here's Basically, the consequences of Comey's behavior beginning to catch
- 22:56Speaker 1: up with him.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Good.
- 22:57Speaker 5: Good.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Now you get to face down the justice system that
- 22:59Speaker 1: you abused. Have fun with that.
- 23:02Speaker 2: OK.
- 23:04Speaker 1: The FBI yesterday raided the Quality Learing Center and and
- 23:09Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other places and more than 20
- 23:11Speaker 1: other businesses all across Minnesota yesterday, which is that's a
- 23:17Speaker 1: great deal of fun for those of us who would
- 23:19Speaker 1: like to see justice in the world. Here is the
- 23:21Speaker 1: New York Post recitation of the news yesterday. Quality Learing Center,
- 23:26Speaker 1: 20 other Minnesota daycares rated by FBI as a part
- 23:30Speaker 1: of a massive fraud investigation. The FBI rating the infamous
- 23:34Speaker 1: Quality Learing Center and more than 20 other businesses all
- 23:38Speaker 1: across the state. They were investigating a multi-billion dollar social
- 23:42Speaker 1: services fraud ring. These are tied, of course, to businesses
- 23:47Speaker 1: in the Somali-American community. community, sources telling the Post. Quote,
- 23:52Speaker 1: today the FBI with federal, state, and local law enforcement
- 23:55Speaker 1: involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as a part of
- 23:58Speaker 1: an ongoing fraud investigation, Justice Department official telling the New
- 24:02Speaker 1: York Post. You can see the FBI agents raiding what
- 24:05Speaker 1: looks like the outside of the Quality Learing Center in
- 24:08Speaker 1: this image, rumble.com slash Vince for you to see it.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Agents used a battering ram to enter at least one
- 24:13Speaker 1: of the alleged daycares, Metro Learning Center, according to KTSP.
- 24:18Speaker 1: The targets include the Quality Learing Center, as well as
- 24:24Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other places. President Trump had announced
- 24:26Speaker 1: this war on fraud in his February State of the
- 24:28Speaker 1: Union address, and he put Vice President J.D. Vance in
- 24:32Speaker 1: charge of the task force. Of course, they also have
- 24:35Speaker 1: an assistant U.S. attorney now who's reporting directly to the
- 24:38Speaker 1: vice president on this. And they went after these guys.
- 24:41Speaker 1: They went after all these guys. And they're trying to
- 24:44Speaker 1: take down these fraudsters. Remember, when it comes to the
- 24:47Speaker 1: Somali American community and the fraud that's being perpetrated by them,
- 24:54Speaker 1: this goes back to back in November, the New York
- 24:57Speaker 1: Times had a piece on the way that fraudsters, Somali
- 25:02Speaker 1: fraudsters are motivated by their culture. And this is actually interesting.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I'm going to pull this up for you as I'm
- 25:08Speaker 1: thinking about it. Stealing from the government is widespread activity.
- 25:12Speaker 1: in Somali culture, according to the New York Times. In fact,
- 25:17Speaker 1: they had a guy called Dr. Samatar talking about American
- 25:20Speaker 1: society and how it's vulnerable to this kind of Somali fraud.
- 25:24Speaker 1: This is one of my, but I think this is
- 25:26Speaker 1: one of my favorite stories to cite because of what
- 25:30Speaker 1: the New York Times even just reveals about it. So
- 25:33Speaker 1: here's their guy, Dr. Samatar. He's their Somali American expert.
- 25:37Speaker 1: And Dr. Samatar said, lays out that basically the Somalis
- 25:43Speaker 1: are coming in and stealing from Americans because that's their culture.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Ahmad Samatar, this is what he said in the piece.
- 25:49Speaker 1: A professor at Macalester College, who is a leading expert
- 25:53Speaker 1: in Somali studies, said a reckoning over the fraud and
- 25:55Speaker 1: its consequences for Minnesota was overdue. Quote, American society and
- 26:00Speaker 1: the denizens of the state of Minnesota have been extremely
- 26:03Speaker 1: good to Somalis, said Dr. Samatar, who is a Somali-American. Dr. Samatar,
- 26:09Speaker 1: that's true. They have, Americans have been very good to Somalis.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Dr.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Samatar said that Somali refugees who came to the United
- 26:15Speaker 1: States after their country's civil war were raised in a
- 26:18Speaker 1: culture in which stealing from the country's dysfunctional and corrupt
- 26:21Speaker 1: government was widespread. In other words, it's a part of
- 26:24Speaker 1: the culture. Quote, Minnesota, he said, proved susceptible to rampant
- 26:30Speaker 1: fraud because it is so tolerant, so open, and so
- 26:35Speaker 1: geared toward keeping an eye on the weak. Now, this
- 26:42Speaker 1: is not true. There may be people in Minnesota who
- 26:46Speaker 1: are these kinds of suckers. But the reason why Minnesota
- 26:50Speaker 1: is so susceptible to this kind of fraud is because
- 26:54Speaker 1: Democrats have been aiding and abetting it knowingly. Tim Walz
- 26:59Speaker 1: knew that this fraud was going on. He was aiding
- 27:01Speaker 1: it and abetting it. Keith Ellison is caught on tape
- 27:05Speaker 1: aiding and abetting fraudsters who wanted investigations into their fraud
- 27:11Speaker 1: to go away. And he told them, money buys you freedom.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Donate to my campaign. We'll hassle them. One phone call
- 27:17Speaker 1: from the attorney general's office tends to get the results
- 27:20Speaker 1: that we want. That was Keith Ellison caught on tape
- 27:24Speaker 1: saying that, speaking of someone who should be prosecuted. So no,
- 27:28Speaker 1: that's the one thing that Dr. Samatar gets wrong here.
- 27:30Speaker 1: It's not merely fraud. this sort of like doe-eyed optimism,
- 27:34Speaker 1: like just like complete like ignorance of the fact that
- 27:37Speaker 1: you're being robbed. That's not what's happening here. The Democrats
- 27:41Speaker 1: are aiding and abetting the theft of American taxpayer money
- 27:44Speaker 1: to the tune of tens of billions of dollars. That's
- 27:46Speaker 1: really going on. But this New York Times piece, again,
- 27:49Speaker 1: from November of last year, points out that this is cultural.
- 27:54Speaker 1: They were raised in a culture in which stealing from
- 27:56Speaker 1: the country's government was widespread.
- 27:59Speaker 5: Okay.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Well, then don't come here and steal from us. All
- 28:03Speaker 1: we ask for immigration is assimilation. I mean, we ask,
- 28:06Speaker 1: is it good for America? And if it's going to
- 28:08Speaker 1: be good for America, assimilate into our culture. Our culture
- 28:11Speaker 1: is not stealing from one another. Our culture is law
- 28:13Speaker 1: and order. Our culture is sovereignty. Our culture is love
- 28:16Speaker 1: of country. Our culture is respect for one another, neighborliness.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Our culture is being a patriotic American. That's our culture.
- 28:24Speaker 1: You're stealing from Americans? You're none of those things. Sorry,
- 28:28Speaker 1: you're none of those things. And even the New York
- 28:30Speaker 1: Times admits that it's a cultural problem, a huge one.
- 28:33Speaker 1: So now we're seeing the effects of it. And so
- 28:35Speaker 1: we got these huge raids going on in Minnesota, thank God,
- 28:39Speaker 1: under Todd Blanch's Justice Department, Kash Patel's FBI, President Trump's administration.
- 28:45Speaker 1: And it's funny because Tampon Tim Walz yesterday came out
- 28:50Speaker 1: and he tried to take credit for it. Yeah, no,
- 28:52Speaker 1: you heard me correctly. Tampon Tim Walz yesterday tried to
- 28:56Speaker 1: take credit for this. Yesterday, he goes, today's raids by
- 29:01Speaker 1: state and federal enforcement happened because our state agencies caught
- 29:05Speaker 1: irregular behavior and reported it, he claims. That's how the
- 29:10Speaker 1: system's supposed to work. And our agencies will keep at
- 29:12Speaker 1: it as long as there are fraudsters around to put
- 29:14Speaker 1: behind bars. He said, he goes on, he goes, now
- 29:17Speaker 1: let's work on a joint investigation into the killings of
- 29:20Speaker 1: Alex Preddy and Renee Goode. You psycho, you absolute psycho.
- 29:24Speaker 1: So the guy who is encouraging people like Alex Preddy
- 29:26Speaker 1: and Renee Goode to block and assault law enforcement officers,
- 29:30Speaker 1: now wants an investigation into how it is that they died.
- 29:34Speaker 1: I would start with you, you utter jackass. The blood
- 29:37Speaker 1: is on your hands for Alex preddy and renee good
- 29:41Speaker 1: and then um and then this idea that he gets
- 29:43Speaker 1: credit for the raids on the somali fraudsters who've been
- 29:47Speaker 1: running rampant in his state it's laughable for any number
- 29:51Speaker 1: of reasons but uh that one of the guys helping
- 29:53Speaker 1: us to laugh at this cash but no cash but
- 29:56Speaker 1: the guide director jumped in on this yesterday and he
- 29:58Speaker 1: goes come again This FBI and DOJ, with our DHS partners,
- 30:04Speaker 1: drafted and executed every single search warrant today. But go
- 30:08Speaker 1: ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke
- 30:11Speaker 1: out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship. Good for Cash.
- 30:18Speaker 1: The FBI director going, you get no credit. We award
- 30:21Speaker 1: you zero points and may God have mercy on your soul.
- 30:25Speaker 1: That's the reaction from Cash Patel. Wonderful news. Wonderful news.
- 30:30Speaker 1: All right. In a moment, we're going to talk about,
- 30:33Speaker 1: I would say, the single biggest prosecutorial announcement of the
- 30:37Speaker 1: day yesterday, and it's to go after the COVID conspiracy.
- 30:42Speaker 2: That's right.
- 30:42Speaker 1: The people behind upending this entire country during the COVID
- 30:47Speaker 1: chaos are now being prosecuted. And my next guest says
- 30:51Speaker 1: we're just at the very beginning. We'll talk to David
- 30:55Speaker 1: Asher in just a You know, I want to tell
- 30:59Speaker 1: you about one of our great sponsors, Brickhouse Nutrition's got

- 33:38Speaker 1: look here. I want to share this news with you,
- 33:41Speaker 1: and then we'll get to our great guest, David Asher.
- 33:42Speaker 1: But yesterday, we get COVID consequences. Anthony Fauci's top advisor, Dr.
- 33:49Speaker 1: David Morins, has been charged with conspiracy against the United
- 33:54Speaker 1: States involving the destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in
- 33:59Speaker 1: federal investigations, as well as concealment, removal, or mutilation of
- 34:03Speaker 1: of records and aiding and abetting. You know, this guy,
- 34:07Speaker 1: David Warrens, he may not have the highest profile name
- 34:11Speaker 1: in the conversation, but I'm telling you right now, he's
- 34:13Speaker 1: one of the single biggest creatures we could possibly be
- 34:17Speaker 1: prosecuting right now for the COVID chaos. He deserves it. Remember,
- 34:21Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci was given this big pardon by President Autopen,
- 34:25Speaker 1: and I don't think that, my personal opinion is the
- 34:27Speaker 1: Autopen in no way gives you an actual pardon. So
- 34:30Speaker 1: they should still test a prosecution against Anthony Fauci in
- 34:34Speaker 1: court and see how much that Autopen stands up. But
- 34:37Speaker 1: this guy, David Morins, is a big fish in this fight,
- 34:42Speaker 1: a very big one. He's the ex-NIAID official, and he's
- 34:47Speaker 1: looking at up to 51 years in prison. for concealing
- 34:52Speaker 1: all sorts of information of value to the American public
- 34:55Speaker 1: and destroying it. In fact, in emails that were released
- 35:00Speaker 1: a couple years ago, he just admitted over and over
- 35:03Speaker 1: and over again that he was destroying things, that he
- 35:05Speaker 1: was using his private email to hide things from the
- 35:08Speaker 1: American people. He was expressing things on a private account.
- 35:11Speaker 1: He said, quote, there are things I can't say Except
- 35:16Speaker 1: Tony is aware, and I have learned that there are
- 35:18Speaker 1: ongoing efforts within NIH to steer this through with minimal
- 35:21Speaker 1: damage to you, Peter, and colleagues, and to NIH and NIAID.
- 35:27Speaker 1: He says this is an April 26, 2020 email that
- 35:30Speaker 1: he sent to Peter Dajak, one of the chief conspirators
- 35:35Speaker 1: here in the COVID chaos. And he talked about how
- 35:40Speaker 1: the FOIA lady at his agency had taught him how
- 35:43Speaker 1: to evade FOIA and delete information. They were deleting things
- 35:47Speaker 1: before FOIA requests were coming in. So in other words,
- 35:50Speaker 1: we have known for years that this guy was actively
- 35:53Speaker 1: destroying information about COVID to prevent you from knowing anything
- 35:56Speaker 1: about it. We've known it for years. But apparently it
- 36:00Speaker 1: took Todd Blanche arriving at the Justice Department to finally
- 36:03Speaker 1: see a prosecution, to finally see a prosecution. In fact,
- 36:08Speaker 1: David Morin's sins were so obvious to even Democrat members
- 36:11Speaker 1: of Congress that at one point, Democrat Congressman Kwesi Mfume,
- 36:15Speaker 1: back in testimony in 2024, said to David Morin's, your
- 36:20Speaker 1: testimony today is going to come back and haunt you.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Take a look at this clip. This is back in 2024,
- 36:26Speaker 1: May of 24.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Cut one.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Here's David Morin's testifying before Congress.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Watch. Dr. Morin's, what else do you feel responsible for? Pardon?
- 36:35Speaker 2: What else do you feel responsible for?
- 36:39Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I'm getting this echo here, and I just,
- 36:41Speaker 8: let me, should I turn off my microphone?
- 36:44Speaker 2: Yeah, you're using my time. Let me ask you, why
- 36:46Speaker 2: didn't you report any of this to the ethics office?
- 36:51Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 36:52Speaker 8: I don't even know what our ethics office does, but
- 36:55Speaker 8: Peter certainly reported it.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Peter reported it to the ethics office. I'm not worried
- 36:58Speaker 2: about Peter. I'm talking about you. Peter's not here. I
- 37:01Speaker 2: just want to know, if you thought this was ethically
- 37:04Speaker 2: incorrect or improper, why didn't you report it? to the
- 37:08Speaker 2: ethics office.
- 37:10Speaker 8: What are you referring to as what being ethically improper?
- 37:13Speaker 2: Well, you just said, you asked him why was he
- 37:15Speaker 2: sending this to one email account when it should have
- 37:18Speaker 2: gone to another one.
- 37:20Speaker 8: And you're asking me whether I thought what he was
- 37:22Speaker 8: doing was unethical? What I was doing is unethical?
- 37:27Speaker 2: Sir, I think you're going to be haunted by your
- 37:30Speaker 2: testimony today. And it's unfortunate. It's all on the record.
- 37:35Speaker 2: And it doesn't make a lot of sense to many
- 37:37Speaker 2: of us, certainly not to me.
- 37:39Speaker 1: That's even a Democrat said that. That's David Morins, now indicted.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Joining us right now to discuss what this all means
- 37:48Speaker 1: is David Asher. David Asher is with the Hudson Institute.
- 37:52Speaker 1: He was also in the State Department as the lead
- 37:54Speaker 1: investigator into the origins of COVID and just left the
- 37:57Speaker 1: State Department again working for President Trump investigating weapons of
- 38:01Speaker 1: mass destruction. David Asher, great to have you back with me, sir.
- 38:05Speaker 6: Thanks very much.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Tell me how consequential this is. How big of a
- 38:09Speaker 1: deal is this?
- 38:10Speaker 3: I mean, it's a big deal because it's the beginning
- 38:13Speaker 3: of a conspiracy indictment, it appears to me. Morin's indictment
- 38:21Speaker 3: indicates there's two co-conspirators, one who almost everyone on the
- 38:26Speaker 3: internet and myself agree is Peter Daszak, the head of
- 38:31Speaker 3: the EcoHealth Alliance, the organization that was used as the
- 38:34Speaker 3: funnel to move a huge amount of the NIAID national
- 38:40Speaker 3: NIH money to China and to researchers around the country
- 38:45Speaker 3: that are engaged in dangerous gain-of-function research as well. And
- 38:51Speaker 3: then another individual who is a former NIH NIAID senior
- 38:55Speaker 3: official who's at Boston University.
- 38:58Speaker 6: When you're a co-conspirator, in my experience, and I've worked on.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Everything from Gambino, a crime family on down in terms
- 39:04Speaker 3: of indictments and RICO conspiracies, you are basically almost certainly
- 39:11Speaker 3: going to be indicted if you're not indicted already.
- 39:13Speaker 6: I mean, if you're a conspirator, you're a conspirator.
- 39:16Speaker 3: So I think this is the beginning, not the end
- 39:19Speaker 3: of a wider process of justice being finally brought to
- 39:23Speaker 3: these people that ultimately resulted in the killing, basically, of
- 39:29Speaker 3: between 20 20 and 27 million people around the world,
- 39:32Speaker 3: including 1.3 million Americans.
- 39:34Speaker 6: It's crazy. It's crazy our government funded this stuff.
- 39:38Speaker 1: So first and foremost, why do you think it took
- 39:40Speaker 1: so long? We knew David Morins was destroying this information
- 39:44Speaker 1: for years. That was a matter of public record for
- 39:47Speaker 1: well over two years now. Why did it take until
- 39:49Speaker 1: Todd Blanch arrived?
- 39:51Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 39:52Speaker 3: Todd's a good financial prosecutor. That's why the president hired
- 39:56Speaker 3: him in his defense when he was being ridiculously accused
- 40:00Speaker 3: of real estate fraud, which is nuts for paying too much,
- 40:05Speaker 3: too much tax. I mean, it's like no one's heard
- 40:07Speaker 3: of that before in New York City. You know, it's
- 40:10Speaker 3: it's it's it's I think it was, you know, the
- 40:13Speaker 3: FBI's been pushing for this for a long time.
- 40:15Speaker 6: They've had a.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Closed up investigation for over two years. I don't know
- 40:21Speaker 3: why A.G. Bondi didn't move this forward. But knowing Todd,
- 40:28Speaker 3: I think he's just got a sense of injustice and
- 40:31Speaker 3: an injustice. And he knows that these charges are not
- 40:40Speaker 3: inherently that strong coming out of the gate.
- 40:42Speaker 6: But it's what comes up afterward.
- 40:45Speaker 3: Like yesterday, we learned that Ralph Baric, who is really
- 40:48Speaker 3: the most important U.S. contributor to the creation of COVID-19
- 40:51Speaker 3: at University of North Carolina, was banned from the campus,
- 40:56Speaker 3: as far as I can understand it. All of his
- 40:59Speaker 3: grants were stripped from him. And it sounds like he's
- 41:02Speaker 3: basically being removed from the faculty. That indicates to me
- 41:05Speaker 3: that if he's not under indictment, he's under something really serious.
- 41:10Speaker 3: I mean, he's probably the most legendary and capable genetic
- 41:19Speaker 3: virus developer in the world. And he trained the bat
- 41:23Speaker 3: lady in China. So this sounds like this is the
- 41:30Speaker 3: beginning of a RICO conspiracy case, which would be justified
- 41:35Speaker 3: after all these years.
- 41:36Speaker 6: Why didn't it happen before?
- 41:38Speaker 3: You're telling me, Vince, I don't know.
- 41:40Speaker 6: I mean, it makes no sense.
- 41:41Speaker 1: So a lot of these guys, as you well know,
- 41:44Speaker 1: perhaps better than most, definitely better than most, a lot
- 41:48Speaker 1: of these guys who you're citing were involved in quite
- 41:51Speaker 1: clearly a conspiracy to conceal the origins of COVID. They
- 41:54Speaker 1: were manipulating the scientific literature to prevent the public from
- 41:57Speaker 1: realizing that it's very– it's in fact almost entirely certain.
- 42:01Speaker 1: that the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology,
- 42:04Speaker 1: yet they conspired to hide that detail while having financial
- 42:07Speaker 1: interests in the question.
- 42:09Speaker 3: Yeah, and receiving tens of millions of dollars in grants
- 42:15Speaker 3: from NIAID in effect for being part of the conspiracy
- 42:19Speaker 3: to conceal. You know, one of the most notorious is
- 42:22Speaker 3: a guy named Christian Anderson at Scripps Institute in California.
- 42:25Speaker 6: I think he received $ 8.
- 42:27Speaker 3: 7 million from Fauci after he agreed to switch his
- 42:31Speaker 3: position when he was asked what the origin was, and
- 42:33Speaker 3: he originally said it almost certainly came out of a
- 42:37Speaker 3: lab accident, and it was based on the sequence that
- 42:42Speaker 3: he analyzed where he saw small but technically important irregularities
- 42:48Speaker 3: that almost were certainly inserted by humans, not by nature.
- 42:53Speaker 3: He went from saying that it was like 80% certain
- 42:56Speaker 3: it came out of a lab in a period of
- 42:58Speaker 3: like three or four days to saying it was like
- 43:02Speaker 3: no percentage possible. It never provided any evidence. And this
- 43:06Speaker 3: was all in their emails. All this stuff came out
- 43:08Speaker 3: in the emails. And it was after he met with
- 43:10Speaker 3: Fauci repeatedly. And Fauci and I would assume Morins in
- 43:14Speaker 3: the background greased the skids and said, hey, you guys
- 43:18Speaker 3: switch your position.
- 43:19Speaker 6: We'll pay you millions of dollars. Shut up. And the
- 43:22Speaker 6: Chinese paid him too, by the way.
- 43:25Speaker 1: I wanna get into China in a moment, but just
- 43:27Speaker 1: so people realize that COVID, the bug, COVID-19, was a
- 43:33Speaker 1: picture-perfect match for what Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance were
- 43:37Speaker 1: trying to generate with DARPA. They had previously filed a
- 43:41Speaker 1: grant request with DARPA, and they described in detail what
- 43:44Speaker 1: COVID-19 ended up looking like. And so I saw somebody
- 43:47Speaker 1: say early in this process when it became clear that
- 43:50Speaker 1: this was man-made, they said, well, wait a second, the
- 43:52Speaker 1: guy applied. It'd be like applying to strap horns to
- 43:55Speaker 1: the heads of horses, and then all of a sudden
- 43:56Speaker 1: unicorns start popping out of of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
- 44:00Speaker 1: And people are like, well, of course, it was Peter
- 44:02Speaker 1: Dajak and EcoHealth Alliance funded by American taxpayers.
- 44:05Speaker 3: Yeah, no one did a better job of capturing the
- 44:07Speaker 3: absurdity of this than Jon Stewart did several years ago. But,
- 44:12Speaker 3: you know, like, you know, the Wuhan Institute, the only
- 44:15Speaker 3: place in the world where you study bat-borne coronaviruses, it's
- 44:19Speaker 3: a thousand miles away from any bat, basically, that could
- 44:23Speaker 3: be associated with it because they.
- 44:27Speaker 6: harvest bats from all over Asia, including China.
- 44:30Speaker 3: And so like, you know, you know, you know, the
- 44:31Speaker 3: bat didn't mate with the pangolin, which is this weird
- 44:34Speaker 3: armadillo like creature, but it does have a pangolin, uh,
- 44:38Speaker 3: like a receptor binder domain, I believe in it. So,
- 44:42Speaker 3: you know, what happened was this is pure genetic engineering.
- 44:45Speaker 3: I've been involved in biotechnology for many years, uh, uh, uh, including, uh, uh,
- 44:51Speaker 3: I'll admit it for maybe the first time on TV, uh,
- 44:56Speaker 3: Our partners in Europe are the Meru family, who built
- 45:01Speaker 3: the Wuhan Institute of Virology's BSL-4.
- 45:05Speaker 6: High-end lab, the one that's all glass and shiny. They
- 45:08Speaker 6: oversaw the construction.
- 45:10Speaker 3: They warned me personally back in 2017 that they thought
- 45:14Speaker 3: that Wuhan Institute was involved in a biological weapons program.
- 45:18Speaker 3: And that was because they got kicked out. They were
- 45:21Speaker 3: supposed to have 50 researchers from France on site. And
- 45:24Speaker 3: so this is one of the first things I described
- 45:26Speaker 3: to Secretary Pompeo and the staff when I asked to
- 45:31Speaker 3: be allowed to investigate the origin of COVID. I said,
- 45:34Speaker 3: you know, I've been hearing about this for years. And
- 45:36Speaker 3: by the way, the intelligence community was given that same
- 45:38Speaker 3: information in 2017 by the French, and so was the
- 45:43Speaker 3: State Department.
- 45:44Speaker 6: And it was ignored.
- 45:46Speaker 3: We had the information in our systems when I started
- 45:50Speaker 3: at State in late 2019 under Pompeo. So even before
- 45:56Speaker 3: COVID had come out of the gates in a global way,
- 46:00Speaker 3: we knew that there was very suspicious bioweapons-related activity going
- 46:05Speaker 3: on at that institute.
- 46:06Speaker 6: And it was ignored.
- 46:09Speaker 3: And so I'm very grateful to Acting AG Blanche, who's
- 46:13Speaker 3: a great guy and a real effective individual. for making,
- 46:18Speaker 3: and Kash Patel, who's another awesome individual, for making this
- 46:22Speaker 3: thing happen.
- 46:23Speaker 6: You know, because the evidence has been there for years.
- 46:25Speaker 6: We have so much information on our systems.
- 46:28Speaker 3: I mean, just being back at state, dealing with biological weapons,
- 46:33Speaker 3: in part, you know, the stuff the Chinese are doing
- 46:36Speaker 3: now makes the Wuhan Institute work on COVID look like nothing.
- 46:41Speaker 6: But the key thing is, this was synthetic biology. We
- 46:44Speaker 6: can prove that. And we know it from information.
- 46:50Speaker 3: That the FBI will present, I'm sure, in the context
- 46:53Speaker 3: of this Morin's court trial. Synthetic biology could save us
- 46:58Speaker 3: all through carrying cancers and things or kill us all.
- 47:03Speaker 6: And right now, my.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Unfortunate view is it's more likely to kill us all.
- 47:08Speaker 3: unless we try to regulate what our opponents are doing
- 47:12Speaker 3: to use it against us.
- 47:13Speaker 1: But if I'm understanding what you're saying about China correctly,
- 47:15Speaker 1: China right now, in your view, has man-made viruses that
- 47:19Speaker 1: could threaten to destroy humanity?
- 47:21Speaker 6: Absolutely. MERS that can spread very readily.
- 47:26Speaker 3: Ebola that can spread not just readily, but actually slightly
- 47:32Speaker 3: more slowly than normal. So the thing about Ebola, it
- 47:34Speaker 3: kills people off so quickly it doesn't spread very fast.
- 47:37Speaker 3: So they're doing this with synthetic biology. So these are
- 47:40Speaker 3: viruses that are almost unstoppable in terms of the deadliness.
- 47:44Speaker 3: I mean, Ebola was like 80% kill rate, you know,
- 47:47Speaker 3: MERS 50%. I mean, why are they doing research on
- 47:50Speaker 3: these viruses? And we know they're doing it and it's
- 47:53Speaker 3: not even classified. I mean, we see it in their papers,
- 47:56Speaker 3: but we know on the classified level, I can't get into,
- 47:58Speaker 3: but it'll scare the hell out of you when that
- 48:00Speaker 3: stuff becomes declassified, which I expect could happen in the
- 48:04Speaker 3: context of this Morin's court case. I think this thing
- 48:07Speaker 3: is the beginning of something bigger.
- 48:09Speaker 1: One more on the potential for the threat from China
- 48:12Speaker 1: and whatever viruses they have. I remember during the pandemic,
- 48:14Speaker 1: there was some consideration that perhaps China had viruses that
- 48:18Speaker 1: were targeted based on genetics. In other words, they could
- 48:22Speaker 1: protect the Chinese people from a virus, but they would
- 48:25Speaker 1: kill lots of others, or they would specifically target people
- 48:28Speaker 1: on the basis of their genetics. Is that your understanding
- 48:30Speaker 1: of Yeah.
- 48:31Speaker 3: They've been working on genetically selected agents since at least
- 48:34Speaker 3: 2011 when they declared that they were doing so at
- 48:36Speaker 3: the Biological Weapons Convention meeting in Europe. And so, you know,
- 48:43Speaker 3: I assume they've been working on it before that. I
- 48:45Speaker 3: don't know that they can actually achieve that effect yet,
- 48:47Speaker 3: but in theory, it can be achieved. You can definitely
- 48:51Speaker 3: target certain types of genetic traits online. My friend Steve
- 48:56Speaker 3: Quay is a famous doctor and genetic researcher into cancer,
- 49:00Speaker 3: but he's also become a famous expert on COVID. He's
- 49:06Speaker 3: got a book coming out on the sequence of COVID
- 49:09Speaker 3: where he basically explains how all this is possible.
- 49:13Speaker 6: And we know they're working on it.
- 49:15Speaker 3: I mean, whether they can do it yet, I don't
- 49:17Speaker 3: think COVID was a genetically selected agent.
- 49:20Speaker 6: But they had the aspirations for it to be. This
- 49:23Speaker 6: thing is just so, this is such a cesspool of
- 49:25Speaker 6: dirt and grime.
- 49:29Speaker 3: It's ridiculous that the US government contributed to the creation
- 49:34Speaker 3: of a pandemic that killed 1.3 million of our citizens
- 49:37Speaker 3: and cost us over 60% of GDP. I mean, it's
- 49:40Speaker 3: amazing our country is held together through all this. And
- 49:43Speaker 3: I give President Trump a lot of credit for leadership.
- 49:45Speaker 6: Look, he almost died of this thing too.
- 49:47Speaker 1: How deep is the Chinese corruption in the United States
- 49:51Speaker 1: that confounded our ability to confront this? Because Dr. Fauci,
- 49:55Speaker 1: I remember early in the pandemic, was making excuses for China,
- 49:58Speaker 1: saying they were being great partners. The World Health Organization
- 50:01Speaker 1: was entirely controlled by China. Their leader was hand-selected by China.
- 50:08Speaker 1: And they made excuses for the Chinese throughout the beginning
- 50:12Speaker 1: of all of this. How much is Chinese corruption a
- 50:14Speaker 1: factor in this?
- 50:16Speaker 6: Well, I don't think it's corruption. I think it's actually
- 50:18Speaker 6: covert action.
- 50:18Speaker 3: You know, I've run several major covert action programs in
- 50:23Speaker 3: my career against foreign adversaries. And what the Chinese are
- 50:26Speaker 3: doing here is it goes beyond cooptation of individuals.
- 50:30Speaker 6: It's systematic. It's top down.
- 50:33Speaker 3: And it's being controlled through a wide network of individuals, institutions.
- 50:40Speaker 3: They're using money as a tool to entrap people. And
- 50:45Speaker 3: that's a classic intelligence operations technique. All of us who
- 50:49Speaker 3: worked in Intel were taught when we were going through
- 50:53Speaker 3: our school years.
- 50:55Speaker 2: They entrapped the.
- 51:00Speaker 6: NIH, and they.
- 51:01Speaker 3: Entrapped the scientists around the world with the lure of
- 51:07Speaker 3: being able to go to China, earn miles, stay at
- 51:10Speaker 3: fancy hotels, and receive tens of millions of dollars, not
- 51:14Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars in grants. And then they
- 51:16Speaker 3: trapped the National Institutes of Health itself by encouraging it
- 51:22Speaker 3: to basically promote what's called the Thousand Talents Program. NIH
- 51:27Speaker 3: on its website, even today, I believe, still has a
- 51:30Speaker 3: web page that's promoting the Thousand Talents Program for China,
- 51:34Speaker 3: which is a recruitment for their intelligence service. I mean,
- 51:38Speaker 3: the silly season has not ended. And we've got to,
- 51:42Speaker 3: we still have to make an effort to bring this
- 51:45Speaker 3: whole wall of China that's confronting our basically public health
- 51:52Speaker 3: system down. I mean, let's not forget, though, that I
- 51:56Speaker 3: worked on a lot of other stuff related to China
- 51:58Speaker 3: at State in the last year. I mean, the biggest
- 52:00Speaker 3: cyber operations in history that attacked our phone system, attacked
- 52:04Speaker 3: our logistics system, attacked our banking system, and salt typhoon.
- 52:09Speaker 3: These are the largest attacks in history. What have we
- 52:11Speaker 3: done to respond?
- 52:12Speaker 6: Actually, nothing. You know, what have we done to respond
- 52:15Speaker 6: to COVID? Until now, nothing. But I have hope that
- 52:19Speaker 6: there'll be a response finally. The president really wants to
- 52:22Speaker 6: have a.
- 52:22Speaker 3: Good relationship with Xi Jinping, but he needs to realize
- 52:25Speaker 3: to have a good relationship with the Chinese, you've got
- 52:28Speaker 3: to have a relationship based on coercion, the same way
- 52:31Speaker 3: they approach us. In The Art of the Deal, he
- 52:34Speaker 3: actually extensively talks about that. I hope he just rereads
- 52:40Speaker 3: his own great book before he goes and meets with
- 52:42Speaker 3: Xi because these people are arch manipulators of our own gullibility.
- 52:48Speaker 1: The president realizes that strength is leverage. I mean, that
- 52:53Speaker 1: an adversary like Xi Jinping will respect strength when President
- 52:57Speaker 1: Trump demonstrates this. I think you're right about that. Lastly,
- 53:01Speaker 1: I know you've got a busy day today, David Asher.
- 53:04Speaker 1: We talk about these indictments for COVID. What are the chances,
- 53:07Speaker 1: you think, that we get more of them quickly? What
- 53:11Speaker 1: do you anticipate here?
- 53:12Speaker 6: I mean.
- 53:13Speaker 3: This guy, Derek, who is really the central conspirator as
- 53:16Speaker 3: a scientist, he's the guy who mastered the ability to
- 53:19Speaker 3: edit the coronavirus genome and synthesize it. I mean, he's
- 53:27Speaker 3: been basically fired, it looks like, from the University of
- 53:30Speaker 3: North Carolina, where he's been their all-star scientist for decades,
- 53:34Speaker 3: for some reason. You got to assume it's tied in.
- 53:37Speaker 3: It happened on the same day as The morons indictment
- 53:40Speaker 3: was unveiled. So, you know, logically, it would seem that
- 53:42Speaker 3: it's likely that he's tied into it.
- 53:45Speaker 1: In other words, there's very likely a sealed indictment into him.
- 53:48Speaker 3: And I mean, it would seem that way just based
- 53:50Speaker 3: on it'd be a hell of a coincidence.
- 53:52Speaker 6: If it's not, you know.
- 53:54Speaker 3: And then, you know, you've got a network of of individuals,
- 53:59Speaker 3: you know, including people inside the government. We've had six
- 54:02Speaker 3: whistleblowers from CIA who've come forward to the Senate and
- 54:06Speaker 3: House Intelligence Committee. about the fact that they were, under Biden,
- 54:10Speaker 3: were given bonuses for basically changing their view on the
- 54:14Speaker 3: origin of COVID from moderate to high confidence that it
- 54:19Speaker 3: was lab-borne and came out of an accident in China
- 54:23Speaker 3: to it came out of nature. I mean, like, this
- 54:27Speaker 3: thing's going to go to a very high level, including
- 54:29Speaker 3: up to President Biden himself, I'm pretty confident, which.
- 54:33Speaker 6: Is why he pardoned his whole family. And, you know,
- 54:35Speaker 6: he pardoned himself. He wasn't dying.
- 54:38Speaker 3: So this is– I think this– we're heading toward a
- 54:42Speaker 3: sort of denouement maybe here finally, and thank God for it.
- 54:46Speaker 3: It's just five years too late.
- 54:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of the biggest events of our entire lives,
- 54:50Speaker 1: and I think it was– even with James Comey being
- 54:52Speaker 1: prosecuted yesterday, I think that the David Morin's prosecution was
- 54:55Speaker 1: the biggest story of Justice Department accountability and an important
- 55:00Speaker 1: one we desperately need. David Asher, thank you very much
- 55:02Speaker 1: for your time. We could definitely talk for hours. We
- 55:05Speaker 1: have in the past, and I'll definitely have you back.
- 55:07Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.
- 55:07Speaker 6: Thank you, Vince. You're the best.
- 55:09Speaker 1: David Asher with the Hudson Institute. The guy's been right
- 55:13Speaker 1: at the center of investigating all of this. And yeah,
- 55:15Speaker 1: isn't he great? Fooey50 said, excellent, intelligent guest. Yeah, David's
- 55:18Speaker 1: great because he's got this wonderful knowledge and wonderful insight
- 55:22Speaker 1: and an unfortunate front row seat to all of this chaos.
- 55:25Speaker 1: And we really appreciate him and his wisdom today. OK, yes. So, look,
- 55:31Speaker 1: this comes down to the United States Department of Justice
- 55:33Speaker 1: and and what they're up to. I will stand by
- 55:36Speaker 1: what I said before. I'm very encouraged here by Todd Blanche.
- 55:39Speaker 1: I think that these guys have a lot underway and
- 55:43Speaker 1: more to come, more to come. And the big one
- 55:47Speaker 1: that you and I are waiting for, I would say,
- 55:49Speaker 1: is the grand conspiracy case. We're kind of keeping an
- 55:52Speaker 1: eye on South Florida. And to what extent, when do
- 55:55Speaker 1: we see the big prosecution of John Brennan, the former
- 55:58Speaker 1: CIA director? Does James Comey get pulled into that prosecution
- 56:02Speaker 1: as well? Because a grand conspiracy is not conducted by
- 56:05Speaker 1: one person. You don't conspire by yourself. You know, this
- 56:09Speaker 1: is not a case of going after schizophrenics. This is
- 56:11Speaker 1: going after people, a team of people. And if you're
- 56:14Speaker 1: going after Brennan for a grand conspiracy against the president involving, say,
- 56:18Speaker 1: the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and the Steele dossier and the
- 56:21Speaker 1: intelligence community assessment and lying about jamming that phony Steele
- 56:26Speaker 1: dossier drafted by Hillary Clinton's campaign directly into all of that, well,
- 56:30Speaker 1: that's John Brennan and James Comey. The public record on
- 56:32Speaker 1: that has been super clear. So you have a grand
- 56:34Speaker 1: jury that's been sending out these subpoenas, and they've sent
- 56:39Speaker 1: out hundreds of them. On the list, we know Brennan, Comey,
- 56:44Speaker 1: you've got Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, all these familiar
- 56:48Speaker 1: names that you and I have been so deeply concerned
- 56:52Speaker 1: about for their abuses of power through the years, right
- 56:55Speaker 1: at the center of that case. I don't think Todd
- 56:57Speaker 1: Blanche is going to tap the brakes here. I don't
- 57:00Speaker 1: think at all. I think one of the other elements,
- 57:02Speaker 1: if my instincts are correct, I think one of the
- 57:04Speaker 1: things that he's running into is this institutional resistance to
- 57:10Speaker 1: doing things that Trump wants. And what I mean by
- 57:13Speaker 1: that is things that Trump voters want fundamentally. We want justice,
- 57:18Speaker 1: but it's not always fashionable in the leadership class to
- 57:22Speaker 1: pursue justice on behalf of what the American people want.
- 57:26Speaker 1: It's a big club and we ain't in it, is
- 57:29Speaker 1: usually the way we assess this, as George Carlin might say.
- 57:34Speaker 1: you know, like guys like Comey, they don't get prosecuted.
- 57:38Speaker 1: They don't have to be subjected to this kind of accountability.
- 57:41Speaker 1: And so what's probably happening inside of the Justice Department
- 57:44Speaker 1: is lower level prosecutors, career prosecutors, who have kind of
- 57:49Speaker 1: envisioned themselves as, you know, little protectors of the ruling class,
- 57:52Speaker 1: not that interested in holding those people accountable, worried about
- 57:56Speaker 1: what this might do to their career in the future.
- 57:58Speaker 1: If I go after the wrong person's friend, will that
- 58:01Speaker 1: stymie my professional advancement? They've resisted oftentimes going after people
- 58:07Speaker 1: like James Comey or John Brennan. They don't want to
- 58:10Speaker 1: do it because they're afraid of what it's going to
- 58:12Speaker 1: do to their relationships and their career advancements. You've got
- 58:17Speaker 1: to break that. You've got to bring in outsiders. You've
- 58:19Speaker 1: got to bring in somebody like Todd Blanch, who's been
- 58:21Speaker 1: on the president's defense team on the receiving end of
- 58:24Speaker 1: this kind of tyranny and doesn't want to suffer any
- 58:26Speaker 1: kind of institutional fools who are looking to protect the
- 58:29Speaker 1: kind of rod that would lead America fully towards destruction.
- 58:34Speaker 1: So he's breaking this. That's a great sign. And he
- 58:38Speaker 1: should keep doing that. My sense is I'm watching this.
- 58:40Speaker 1: I think what's happening is he's grabbing these lower level
- 58:43Speaker 1: prosecutors by the shirt collars and going, get off your ass.
- 58:47Speaker 1: You've got the case. Bring it. Stop trying to slow
- 58:51Speaker 1: walk this to death because you're afraid you're going to
- 58:54Speaker 1: suffer some sort of personal blowback. If you don't act
- 58:56Speaker 1: to restore justice in our country right now, we're not
- 58:59Speaker 1: going to have a country for you to have a
- 59:01Speaker 1: career in. So get your ass up there and prosecute
- 59:04Speaker 1: these guys. That's the message. And I think it's effective.
- 59:09Speaker 1: I think it's going through. So we'll see more of these.
- 59:12Speaker 1: We'll see more of these. I can't imagine just watching
- 59:15Speaker 1: what we saw in the last week that this is
- 59:18Speaker 1: anywhere near the end. So we'll keep on it. As always,
- 59:22Speaker 1: As always, Zeke, my buddy, says fire soon as well. Yeah,
- 59:26Speaker 1: let's fire soon.
- 59:27Speaker 2: I agree.
- 59:28Speaker 1: Let's get a new leader. Let's get a new leader
- 59:29Speaker 1: in the Senate, somebody who can actually pass simple things
- 59:32Speaker 1: like what is it? Voter integrity. We'll keep covering it all.

- 1:00:37Speaker 9: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 1:00:40Speaker 9: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 1:00:43Speaker 9: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
