a very brave man and a good friend of

the program Steve friend is joining us

he is uh from the center of renewing

America fellow uh he’s a fellow at the

sorry at the center for renewing America

uh he’s also the FBI whistleblower uh

that objected to being you know put on

to duty to investigate grandmothers as

as domestic terrorist he blew the

whistle and uh the rest of it is history

welcome to the program Steve how are you

I’m doing well gr thanks for having me

on today you bet so you were with uh the

FBI um and I know it’s not the same but

I think you probably could comment on

this I’m not hearing anything satisfying

coming from the FBI or the Secret

Service on the assassination attempt

there’s three things assassination

attempt of Donald Trump uh the guy that

they they just leted in they knew he was

was on the terror list and they just let

him in anyway who was coordinating an

assassination on Donald Trump and then

the third comes out of Massachusetts

this weekend where Camala Harris was on

stage someplace at an event and the

Secret Service and local police needed a

bathroom so they covered up somebody’s

private security on their business and

then picked the lock went in used their

bathrooms occupied the space for hours

and then closed back to the shop didn’t

lock it back up but closed it the lady

came on Monday and she’s like what the

hell happened

here uh that’s against the law isn’t

it oh absolutely it is and I think if

you or I were to engage in any sort of

activity that there would be criminal

charges against us at the very least for

some sort of trespass but I think what

these three elements that you’re talking

about expose more than anything else is

what I’d like to dub the myth of

competence that we all sort of have in

our federal law enforcement agencies

because in pop culture TVs and movies

shows that you consume uh the the uh the

characters in those shows and movies

they’re they’re really sophisticated and

and really great at their job and

they’re hunting down the criminals and

they’re chasing them down the back

alleys and slapping the handcuffs on and

then they just fade to black but in

reality uh these agencies have now

devolved into essentially DMVs with guns

and badges and that’s why it comes to

the the Trump assassination attempt you

know there’s all these theories that are

out there um and you know you can Count

Me sort of in the in the clan of people

that believe that incompetence was

heavily involved in it and I think that

there’s one sort of presupposition that

has gone into that that so many people

have their questions about and

rightfully so but we are presupposing

that the Secret Service is always great

at its job and these failur I think

they’re terrible are explained I and yes

I I think that these failures are

happening at every single event and it’s

just because of the providential nature

of our as a country and then also

because of the myth of confidence that

nobody’s really tried and tested them

which is why going forward I think

there’s probably a heightened risk to

Donald Trump for any of these any of his

events that he’s going to hold um but to

Pivot to the the second issue with the

the FBI and uh investigating this uh

this assassination attempt I think one

of the most disturbing elements and it

hasn’t been picked up on was when the

deputy director of the FBI Paula bate uh

said that they were going to investigate

it as domestic terrorism and that to me

is uh to the lay person seems reasonable

you don’t want to have blinders on but

being a subject matter expert here the

FBI is now going to slap a classified

label on this investigation and they’re

not going to be able to be transparent

because you don’t have a need to know

you don’t have a security I’m sorry I’m

sorry Congressman can’t comment on an

ongoing investigation so that’s that’s

tremendously disturbing and then the

last thing that I I definitely want to

get to is this Pakistani National now

this is what I like to call the Playbook

that the FBI has been running the last

two and a half decades particularly

since 911 where essentially what they do

to justify their existence as a

bureaucracy as a self- looking ice cream

cone they will identify a vulnerable

person an emotionally disturbed maybe

someone with radical intentions but not

capable of carrying forward an actual

attack without the involvement of the

FBI they’ll identify them use

confidential human sources use

Undercovers and then groom them for as

long as it takes to engage or at least

agree to engage in an activity that can

be labeled as terrorism and then they

will arrest them and the added wrinkle

here was that they imported this

Pakistani through the Border they

sponsored him arriving arriving the FBI

Dallas office actually was the S on him

arriving and it wasn’t just to slap the

cuffs on him they followed him and

orchestrated this plot that could never

have happened without the involvement of

the government for three months and then

justify their existence with this big

dismantlement stat which is also tied to

their quotas this is just the the FBI

version of Fast and Furious but except

with the exception of you being guns

with the ATF we are now running

terrorists so that we can justify our

existence as an

agency so he was supposed to leave right

after he had set something up before the

uh

assassination um so did they because I

don’t even know if I’ve read the what

they had busted other than him did they

actually bust something

up the plot is completely absurd Glenn

I’ve read through the affidavit this is

an individual who was essentially

Indigent didn’t have the finances and

we’re led to believe from the FBI that

he arrived here uh and then just

happened the first person that he had

conversation with was an informant for

the government about soliciting Hit Men

to carry forward not not only

assassinations but he wanted uh dozens

of people to have protests that were

going to be cover while they did

reconnaissance he wanted to get people

that were going to steal documents and

thumb drives from government figures and

all for the low low price of $5,000

which he didn’t actually have and he was

doing things like uh asking the the

informant to put his phone in a drawer

while they had conversations I mean

that’s not a phiraday bag it’s not

really operational security these

illusions of grandeur that he had to me

indicate that he was a prime person that

the FBI likes to target the people who

are vulnerable and and enough for

nothing you know let’s just say he’s a

you know he’s a bad guy um what’s to say

that they don’t import him here and he

just says you know this plot that I have

doesn’t sound like it’s going to be

achievable I’ll just grab a butcher

knife and stab the next Infidel that I

see and then the FBI should be on the

hook for that so this is them believing

in their own competence that certainly

nothing bad will happen while we have

them on the hook for three months and

they’ve been lucky we’ve been lucky that

nothing worse has happened but I think

the bottom line is that the FBI is

inventing these cases so that they can

go to Congress and say look how all the

good work we have done here why don’t

you give us enhanced funding why don’t

you give us enhanced tools think of all

the good work we could do like Lindsey

Graham wants to do now and that is

giving the FBI backdoor access to

encrypted Communications uh because that

way the FBI can circumvent the Fourth

Amendment oh my gosh Lindy Graham lindsy

Graham Lindy gr um so so let me see if I

have this right was this uh guy that

they picked up uh or you know um finally

arrested and told us all about it was

this just a distraction from the

assassination I think the timetable

works out to be that he was arrested on

July 12th the assassination temp

happened on the 13th which to me

certainly explains the

uh the messaging that we got about this

Iranian threat because the FBI was

really super concerned about someone who

they groomed to uh engage in a terrorism

which never was going to happen and

really didn’t have their eye on the ball

and then you we can get into the

speculation about a character like

Crooks who not for nothing kind of

strikes me as sitting squarely within

the profile of someone who would be

recruited and targeted for grooming to

engage in something that he was not

predisposed to do and then maybe did the

thing that I just talked about but

instead of grabbing the butcher knife

and stabbing an Infidel grabbed his

dad’s AR and said I’m going to take a

shot at a candidate for

office so who

is I mean who

should uh pay for for this I saw that

the I think it was the fire chief of uh

Butler County just resigned over this

because of staging and everything else I

I don’t I could be wrong I don’t think

it’s the local law enforcement’s place I

mean you know when the Secret Service

come in they usually usually just come

in and just say here’s what you’re doing

and you do that and don’t ask any

questions um uh you know who whose fault

really was this who should pay for this

there’s going to be a lot of

accountability hot potato as it comes to

this assassination attempt because you

could see Kimberly Cheeto get up there

and say the buck stopped with me but you

know it was really local law

enforcement’s job and and just having

been at both levels you could easily see

that roof being something where the

locals said hey that should be covered

and the Secret Service said okay we

cover and then it didn’t get covered and

then they’re just looking back and forth

at each other saying hey that’s your job

no that’s your job and then meanwhile it

doesn’t get covered at all but I think

ultimately because the Secret Service is

supposed to be the chief agency there

who’s calling the shots it needs to be

them who falls on this and there needs

to be an independent investigation

because I don’t trust the FBI and it’s

not just a personal animous the FBI has

a track record for investigating

assassination attempts like the 2017

Congressional baseball shooting where

the shooter was a Bernie Sanders repor

showed up at the ball field and asked

where the Republicans were and then

proceeded to shoot Steve’s delease and

the FBI said that’s not an assassination

attempt that’s suicide by cop so there

needs to be an independent investigation

may be funded here could be used in the

Congressional uh leverage here for the

for the upcoming budget uh it could also

be a request from the Pennsylvania State

Police because I know there’s a federal

Nexus here but it was in their backyard

and I don’t see any reason why they

couldn’t conduct a thorough

investigation I would trust them far

more than the FB which is going to say

this was domestic terrorism perhaps or

perhaps we already had a domestic

terrorism case open on Crooks either way

we can’t talk about sources and methods

this is an ongoing investigation maybe

we’ll give you something here uh a

decade when nobody is really paying

attention so um one one last thought the

woman in Massachusetts that had her

business just taken over um without her

permission without her even being there

or knowing it uh they covered the camera

they broke in picked the lock and and

went in and spent hours in there just

because I guess they could um she’s not

pressing charges uh she says you know

I’m really angry I feel violated but I

you know I don’t you know they have a

job to do no if people don’t stand up I

think that’s a violation of the F the

third amendment I mean that never gets

any attention I think that’s the

violation of the third amendment but

it’s certainly breaking and entering

and if people don’t push back and say no

I’m sorry if that were anyone else you’d

be in jail today so I I’m sorry I might

like you guys I understand your

situation but you cannot do that because

it’ll never

stop this is the natural Downstream

consequences of what we experienced in

2020 when we were said you had to stay

home and stay safe and shut down your

non-essential business that you use to

feed your family and pay your mortgage

and this is the chilling effect that it

has and I share your sentiment about the

third amendment it would be interesting

to see an energenic attorney take that

up but the government does not respect

your civil liberties does not respect

the Bill of Rights and this is just

another example of the fact that they

are willing to impede on those just for

their own convenience I mean how hard is

it to find a

bathroom Steve thank you so much thanks

for everything you do stay safe Steve

whistleblower uh on the FBI
