• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Say yes to summer with Toohey, and secure your holiday
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: today with deals for families and adults flying from your
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: local airport. Holiday sorted too, Ey, Jesus supply.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: A General Blaine Holt, How are you this morning?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Hey, Good morning. It's been quite a wild week.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, i'maiting. I'm waiting for all these commercials
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to get finished. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: are having a very large discussion this morning America under
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: attack and that we're under attack in so many many directions.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We're under attack, you know, drug wise, they're feeding drugs
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to our kids and other Americans. They are trying to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: cook our elections, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, you've
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: been around for a while, you have the pulse of
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the situation. What do you say about all this?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, you gotta roll it all up into what is
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: a global or world war. That's what this is and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: what I would how I would define this war. And
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: it gets to all the things that you're talking about.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: It's the sovereigntists, which would be indicative of traditional American
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: values that our fore fathers and our founders had in
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: mind for this nation. Versus the globalists. And the globalists
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: come with other dark names that are probably more descriptive Marxism, socialism.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: They want the one world government, they want the corporatists
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: all involved. They want to decide your lives for you.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: And they have many different legions and armies around the world,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and some of those are hatched via those that would
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: go cook your elections, those that would go buy off
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: your politicians, those that would pay protesters to get out
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: there and disrupt the American way of life. And eventually
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: it leads to a place we've seen in history time
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: and time again, and that is violence, and we're seeing
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: it around the world and in the United States.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: General Blaine, hold, let's talk about the different theaters in
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: this war, because we've talked about them.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: It's not just so.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, one theater is global terrorism. Terrorism is one way,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: it's more it's more of a conventional why people thought
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: that was the new way. But there's also fentanyl. There's
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: also the financial attacks coming against whether it's cyber hacking,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: whether it's the money laundering that's going into our campaigns.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: And we were talking to Katie McFarland in the last
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: hour about you know, swimming in different lanes. But to me, ultimately,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: this is about homeland security. This is about defense, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I do think that the military plays a bigger role
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: in it than people realize. I mean, just look at
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: all these boats from Venezuela or other countries that we're
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: bringing in drugs of this country that now have become
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: part of the military's purview, bombing those at which everyone
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: in this room supports. This is a changing world. But
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: it is a multi theater, multi front war, isn't it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: It really is. But again, all these tentacles lead to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: exactly the same place. Your example on Sentinel. Sentinel is
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: not a new gain. Sentinel is just a re ash
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: of the opium war that the British waged against the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Chinese after the fall of the Chain dynasty in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: eighteen hundreds. They just dusted off the old playbook. Wait
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: a minute, That intelligence service goes all the way to
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the founding of six six then spawns the CIA. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: what I would tell you is is you tell me
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: what the theater is, and I'm going to draw a
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: line whether it's from Beijing, or whether it's from cooked
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: intelligence agencies, whether it's from bought off politicians, all the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: way to London. And I don't mean the town of
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: London where people go get their fish and chips. I'm
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: talking about the city of London. The financialists, those who
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: have manipulated and tried to control this planet basically in
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: one incarnation or another since the fall of Rome. President
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Trump knows that he is waging this war against them.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And whether it's Operation Gladio that was cooked up from
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Alan Dulls and the CIA, all that stuff just evolved
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: into where exactly we are in a fifth generation warfare
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: environment with technological tools that would make your head spin.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about the technological tools because this is
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: an issue right now for the Defense Department. We just
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: had this whole issue with Anthropic, this AI company which
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: was promising that it wouldn't help in anything that it
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: didn't find politically amenable to that company. In other words,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they have a bunch of lefty people working their computer
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: programmers AI programmers and Anthropic. Now they're trying to work
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: them out so they can maybe work with the Pentagon again.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, we.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: Need these people in the tech world to help our
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: defense department fight the modern wars. But maybe we can't
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: trust the people working in these companies. I mean, this
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: is a huge problem.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: It is, and even the ones. I could list a
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of companies and you would say, well, they
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: seem pretty trustworthy, and I would tell you, oh, no,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: no they're not. And here's the problem. When you let's
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: get back to Olenski's rules for radicals, the Education Union
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: should be patting themselves on the back because you can't
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: have market and communism and legions of infultrators inside all
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of these companies without cooking the education system and co
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: opting it. And that's where this begins. And then get
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: to the leadership, what I would call their junior managers,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: their junior managers, these CEOs of these AI companies, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: just listen to their words. They believe in absolute surveillance state,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: they believe in central bank digital currency, they believe in
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: it's okay to be on contract with the Pentagon. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: if you don't like the policy, turning the switch off,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: cooking the information, changing it out. And then you've got
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: the corruption class which is only too happy to profit
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: from all of it. And we'll stand up and boldly
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: on c SPAN defend every ounce of it. And so
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: what we have to do is we better get to
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a season of accountability in this country and find out
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: who is an American and who is on very very
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: shaky ground with that proposition and some of the names
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: would I think surprise everybody boldly when you lifted the veils,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: but I think that day is coming.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Is how does this though play out in some of
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the individual states. You know, President Trump is like President Reagan,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: still hoping to rebuild and strengthen our military, and that
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: means local jobs for people. You know that people remember
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Class submarine. It wasn't called that because
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: they were rooting for the Rams. It was because it
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: was built in Orange County, you know that area. You
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: know this still is that the antidote to what you
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: were just talking about. We start building things in Alabama
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: and Louisiana and in places in this country where people
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: still love this country.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: That is where the front lines are. Actually, the swamp
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: likes to pat themselves on the back and think that
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they're the Panoptacon and the all knowing, all seeing, But
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the tentacles of the globalists go right on down to
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Main Street and have for some time now. It gets
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: down to the granularity of we're co opting your library
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: board and putting porn in there for your kids to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: go look at. That's not because they believe in porn.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: It's because they believe in control and co opting American communities.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: You have two prominent companies I'm not going to say
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: who they are, but we pretty much all know who
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: they are that are putting up cameras on every street
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: corner in main street America. That they're using AI systems
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: to do free crime prediction, that they're enabling their sheriff's
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: departments to go after hard working Americans. Now, if you
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: think this isn't a problem, and I know you do,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: But if you think this isn't a problem, all you
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: got to do is pull up the crystal ball called
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the United Kingdom and look at what's going on in
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: London right now with the government's absolute war on the
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: British peoples. The same thing is happening in Ireland. Ireland
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: is at the brink of the civil war, so is
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the UK, so are five other countries in Europe. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: what do we have in common? Well, this is Western
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: civilization and why are we so far behind the curve? Well,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: a couple of things we still have a Constitution, a
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: second Amendment, and President Trump fully understands the battle space
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: and what he's up against. But this is the battle
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: for America and it's happening on Main Street, most important
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: battlefield of all.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, let's divert to Iran. Well, we talked
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: about America. Give us your posts of what's going on
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: in Lebanon and Iran for all Americans stead listening to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: this morning.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Well so in the regions, which is part of this
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: bigger fight. But in the region, we have a really
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: good news this morning, which is okay, the Iranians threw
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: a drone out a ship and luckily it didn't sink
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the ship, the Singapore and Carrier. They're releasing information this morning.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: They did so because they want to reiterate to Oman
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: that they're in control of the Straits, not Oman, who
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: let that ship have authorization. President Trump's position is known.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Neither of you are in control of the Straits by
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the way that gets to Lloyd's of London and them
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: using their surrogates to control that traffic. But in Lebanon
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: we also see great promise because the Israelis are coming
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: much more into alignment with President Trump's vision of how
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: to solve this, and we are seeing that the Lebanese
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: are now standing up and getting their army ready to
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: be vetted, fortified, trained and work along the Israelis and
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: the two states get something each get something out of it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: You get the sovereignty for the Lebanese and you get
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: the Israelis with their security needs respected. And because of
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the cooperation, we're on our way to the Abraham Accords.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And that's the same way it's going to be with
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the Gulf States working with the free eron that I
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: do believe will come once the IRGC is eradicated.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: General Blaine holds with us here the Cats and company
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: take over a sit and friends in the morning, day six.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: You know, all about sieges and things like that, but
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: all kidding aside the situation. You mentioned the situation in Lebanon,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: and you know there's been peace talks going on this week,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: or they were going on this week in Washington. The
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: second round, the first round of Israel leban On peacetocks
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: were very productive. But you know, there's only so much
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: dancing you can do around the fact that this really
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: isn't about Israel and Lebanon, about Israel and Quezbola and
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Zbolah is teetering in some ways, but still has a
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: lot of teeth left in its mouth. You know what's
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: your prognosis on that? Is this just a case of
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: and you talk about the Israelis getting more in line
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: with the United States? Is this just a case of patients?
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, should we be saying to the Israelis waited out,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: this isn't the time, and.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: We'll get and you'll fit.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: You got half a loaf, now you'll get the rest
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of Klesbolah later. Is that a policy that you would
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: get behind.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I could get behind that absolutely. So what I would
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: say is where Israel needs to have its focus now
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: is tactical operations defense and watching the rest of us,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: including Israel, work together to like Scott Descent, chopping off
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the money, disrupting the supply chains. Lebanon arrests those in
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Beyroot that are associated and because there's no more money
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: flowing to them and their life support system through the
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: IRGC is being cut. So when we talk about siege mentality, yeah, no,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: there's only one way out for Hesbela, and that's it's
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: not being a part of this planet. But I can
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: see many of the remaining Hesbelah fighters. I think they
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: have fifteen thousand just raw fighters left. I can see
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: them either evacuating the country or reshaping their views about
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: how they want to live their lives. But the IRGC
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: is not about to be writing checks for them anymore.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And this is our opportunity.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Let's talk about saving lives with Blaine Holt. General Blain Holt.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: With seeing the situation in Venezuela, I am seeing now
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: that we are deploying to Venezuela, the military is going
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: to be playing a much bigger role in this, in
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: this in the rescue than people might realize.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And I think that.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Venezuelan people should be thankful that this happened when it happened.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: If Maduro is still in control and that old regime
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: is still in control as it was just a couple
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: of months ago, we are jumping through a lot more
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: hoops to help them. This is this is going to
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: be a lot proof to the American people in the
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: whole world that the US military also saves lives and
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, we save more lives than
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: the other way around.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's no question. I'm so glad you brought that
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: up because I have been in the middle of some
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: of these humanitarian responses in my life, and the Pentagon
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and the rapidity and the fastness with which we deploy
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: things like the Fairfax County USRT Dog Team and all
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the other elements. Right now, Venezuela is getting to see
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the size of the heart of this country as they
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: go through this misery and this deep, deep tragedy, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: it is horrific. But I'm talking to everybody from bankers
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: who are getting involved in the response, recapitalizing things, already
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: talking about reconstruction and fixing lives. And this is so
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: good for Venezuela as they're coming back into the world.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: This is one of President Trump's greatest achievements, and we're
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: not turning our backs on them at this critical moment
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: like the rest of their old friends would. We are
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: responding to the sound of gunfire, and I couldn't be
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: more proud of the military in getting after those missions.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: General Fernando Mattel here, thank you for being on the
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: show with us today. It's always enlightening. But my question
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: is we all know that the US takes lead when
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: there are disasters anywhere in the world. We have seen
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: that there's a lot of countries now joining the United
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: States and bringing aid and help to Venezuela. And we
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: have a nice size of Venezuelan population here in New
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: York and in Miami and other places around the country.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Do you think that there's going to be an opportunity
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: for those Venezuelans for at least the next year to
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: remain in the United States because of this disaster in Venezuela.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I think that would follow the natural course. I can't
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: imagine why it would be in this country's best interest
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to be deporting folks. Now. The criminality is another matter.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: That's a different issue. Yeah, yeah, it's a totally different issue.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I think you're probably identifying something that's
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: already working its way through the State Department as we speak.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: And we absolutely have it storic precedent for when things
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: like this happen, we tap the brakes on our normal processes.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: And right now I can tell you that in Washington, DC,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: any place, any computer, any email, where the name Venezuela
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: pops up, it's the priority. It's got priority. And so
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I think you're on the right track with how that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: gonna how that's gonna unfold.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we had a break coming up. General Howe,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for coming on today, and thank
• 14:25
