The Other Shoe
Michael Letts joins us to talk about the Trump Peace meeting, and breaking news about Mike Pence.
1
00:00:14,530 --> 00:00:18,330
On my latest podcast, it's
entitled On the Eve of History,
2
00:00:18,330 --> 00:00:21,730
and I specifically chose that
title because number one, I
3
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:25,650
believed it in watching much of
the coverage on Monday of the
4
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:30,880
president with the world leaders
and Vladimir Zelensky and they
5
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,880
were doing the deal and we are
here.
6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,520
Welcome to America Today.
I am Jim Watkins, I am your
7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,400
humbled host and we are excited
to have on Michael Letts, who
8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,120
has been all this time our
national security expert.
9
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,640
He's got a lot of a lot of
things that he knows about a lot
10
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,360
of areas of expertise that we
tap into on a regular basis.
11
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,040
He's also the CEO and founder of
Invest usa.org.
12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Michael Letts, I know it's been
a long couple of days for you.
13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,720
Your initial assessments, How
did things go yesterday for
14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Donald Trump, President Trump?
They went, they went, they went
15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,480
exceptionally well.
We're making great progress.
16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,680
There are other there's a few
key areas yet to iron out.
17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,640
We can kind of briefly go over
with some of those workhorse.
18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,360
Let's talk about the positive
first.
19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,960
Initially, Putin has had this
position for decades.
20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Ukraine could not be a part of
NATO.
21
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Now, you know, the Biden
administration did everything
22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,560
they could to make them a part
of NATO, breaking the promises
23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,480
of previous administrations and
putting Putin in a very
24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,960
defensive mode because obviously
he didn't want to have NATO with
25
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:51,440
tanks sitting half a block away
from a border to be able to move
26
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600
in and invade Russia.
Not that we ever would, but you
27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
understand that NATO represents
all the alliances, including the
28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,160
United States.
And the pact with NATO is you
29
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,720
pick along one or one takes
action.
30
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800
We all take action.
So that was a real threat to
31
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Putin.
So, you know, when Biden
32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320
administration was pushing that,
that's one of the reasons why
33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880
they went to war.
That's why he made such a
34
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,960
prolific statement that had
Trump been president, he
35
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,360
wouldn't be sitting here today,
there would be no war, but by
36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720
the administration got us into
this mess and now we're trying
37
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,720
to figure it out.
So it was reaffirmed by Trump
38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,160
then, no, we will not allow
Ukraine to be a part of NATO.
39
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Now you got Zelensky that wants
to be a part of NATO, that wants
40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,960
the security of protection from
all the European nations in the
41
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640
United States.
President had our, you know,
42
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,000
suggestion that Putin initially
rejected, but he's coming around
43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400
and that is this is how we're
working out the details.
44
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,480
We'll talk about this in a
minute.
45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,760
All the money that we spent over
there and the nefarious actions
46
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,640
and taking that money, the
criminality, etcetera, etcetera.
47
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Bottom line is this President
feels very strongly that money
48
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,120
was not utilized for what we
allocated it for.
49
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,360
We want it back.
Of course you're going to have
50
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,680
those Zelensky saying we don't
have any money.
51
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Where are you going to get it
from?
52
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,560
So the president has a very
powerful idea.
53
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,680
We've talked about it before.
Ukraine has some of the most
54
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,320
enriched minerals that deposits
anywhere in the world, stuff we
55
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,240
pay top dollar for from China
and other locations.
56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,760
So the President has suggested
that we do a partnership with
57
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Ukraine.
We will come in, we will provide
58
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,560
the expertise, the necessary
machinery, etcetera, and mine
59
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240
those precious metals.
I'm just going to use a
60
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,120
hypothetical.
Let's just say it's $10.00 an
61
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,760
ounce.
Instead of paying 10, because
62
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,680
now we're involved, we will pay
5.
63
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080
We will split the cost or even
more.
64
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,280
You'll get something back,
Ukraine.
65
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640
But what are we doing with the
rest of that money that's coming
66
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,720
from the generals?
We're paying back what was so
67
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,720
egregiously taken from our
treasury under false pretenses.
68
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,160
And of course, there's always a
push back for that out.
69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,240
It should be all our money.
But I think they realize that
70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,200
you're going to get a rich
resolution of this matter.
71
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,160
There's going to be give and
take.
72
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,360
And then of course, from Russia
standpoint, Russia wants to keep
73
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520
some of the territory.
Zelensky has always said no,
74
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,240
They don't get a a single bit of
it.
75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,720
The problem with that scenario,
Jim, is this.
76
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,920
What did you do with the
territory, Zelensky, when you
77
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,920
had it in Ukraine?
Well, you allow bioweapon, your
78
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,640
facilities to be built on it
close to the border of Russia.
79
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,280
You allow headquarters for
child, child sex trafficking
80
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,760
there.
Yeah, Actually trafficking some
81
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Russian children now that he's
not very happy about that,
82
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,520
talking about public trafficking
some Russian children.
83
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,480
And so quite frankly, the Putin
is not excited about giving all
84
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,640
that property back that you use
for nefarious purposes and he's
85
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040
not going to.
Now we had taken a position in
86
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,480
the past that no, we were
supporting Zielinski and there
87
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,640
would be no property exchange.
However, as I mentioned, I think
88
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,440
last week with you, yeah, my
days are working together.
89
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,400
I can't remember whether we
talked about this on your show
90
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,160
or not.
You know, we had put together an
91
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,160
audit committee with the
blessing of Zielinski and with
92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,560
the participation of Ukraine to
track down every dime that we
93
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,720
have given either in dollars or
in military assets.
94
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,760
So we will know where did it all
go because right now, as of this
95
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,240
moment, nobody can answer that
question.
96
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,440
You know, public Zelensky
agreed.
97
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,160
But then three to four days ago,
he suddenly withdrew.
98
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,440
No, we're not going to
participate in any audits.
99
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,760
We're not going to tell you
where your money went.
100
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,840
So that changed the mindset of
this administration.
101
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:23,080
So now we are talking with Putin
now, Hey, don't be greedy.
102
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,920
You're not going to get all the
property that you took.
103
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,240
But maybe, perhaps there is a
need for some buffers, some
104
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,440
zones, some buffer areas?
I do want.
105
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,840
To ask you.
I do want to ask you, because in
106
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:38,720
talking about this one region,
the Donetsk and the Don Bass and
107
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,440
all that, what we've heard a
little bit about it, but not
108
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,800
enough in my opinion, what is
the de notification element that
109
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Putin, he wants to de notify
Ukraine?
110
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,800
What is he talking about?
Well, most people don't realize
111
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,200
that Ukraine went after the
World War 2.
112
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:08,160
There is a huge element of Nazis
that migrated there and still
113
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880
very firmly believe in the Nazi
philosophy.
114
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,320
And that's where their majority
of the congregation and their
115
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,640
followers are AT.
And so he wants a buffer to make
116
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
sure that, first of all, if
you're a Nazi in that area,
117
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,600
you're not going to stay there.
Second of all, he wants enough
118
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,680
distance in between that if they
were to decide to create their
119
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,560
own militia or try to what we
would call guerrilla warfare
120
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,920
tactics on the Russian people,
they feel very comfortable.
121
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,440
They can just go in and clean it
up.
122
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,000
And he is insistent on that
because of the fact that we do
123
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,040
know that there is no dispute
about whether there's an awful
124
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,600
lot of folks that have resettled
there who have a very great
125
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,400
sympathy for Nazis.
And so it makes common sense
126
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,760
that because understanding
history now, we haven't tried
127
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,200
this in from a historical
standpoint.
128
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Look at what happened in World
War 2 between Russian people and
129
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,400
the Nazis.
Nazis brutalized him, of course,
130
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,600
you know, when Russia was part
of the Allied system and they
131
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,600
came and made their way all the
way to Berlin, They did some
132
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480
retaliation I'm I'm sure as
well.
133
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
But there's a great distaste,
distrust and hatred between
134
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,120
those two.
And so the President Putin's
135
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,280
going to make sure that they
can't take, have a launching pad
136
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,919
to go in and terrorize the
Russian people.
137
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,360
And that's why he says, I'm not
willing to just have gone in,
138
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760
cleaned it out to begin with and
then turn around, hand it back
139
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
and then go home.
We're going to have to have some
140
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,280
kind of good verification that
there is a buffer zone and we
141
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,720
can feel confident that we can
protect Russian people from any
142
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Nazis of movement, that they
continue to arise.
143
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Let's we got to take a quick
break.
144
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,080
I want to continue our
discussion.
145
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,600
We are talking with Michael
Letts.
146
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,480
He is the CEO and founder of

He also is a former Green Beret
Special Forces top cop South
148
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Carolina, just a go to guide for
a lot of people in positions of
149
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:22,520
influence who seek his counsel.
And we will continue to do just
150
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,840
that as we continue with America

151
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,800

00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,040
Bring you back memories.
Yeah, because, you know, I mean,
164
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,280
that show was all about, you
know, here's the task at hand,
165
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,680
who can do the best job, Show me
the results.
166
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
And then if you do well, we'll,
we'll keep you.
167
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,200
And I and I thought this is the
man that orchestrated that that
168
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,880
whole television show, which was
hugely, you know, popular.
169
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,440
And there he is.
He's doing the deal.
170
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,440
He has masterminded the art of
the deal.
171
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760
He has commanded the presence
think.
172
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,840
I mean, when, when, when Putin
and Trump met Friday, I mean,
173
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480
they announced the Zelensky
meeting on Monday.
174
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,840
And out of nowhere, all the
sudden these Learjets are
175
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,360
leaving Europe in droves.
We're not going to let them all
176
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,160
have a conversation without us
being there.
177
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,000
And, and he the way he
orchestrated it, he allowed
178
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,720
everybody to talk.
I love Maloney from Italy.
179
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,480
She's now famous for rolling her
eyes every time she sees
180
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,600
something that disgusts her.
Every time she looks at Macron,
181
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,960
she rolls her eyes.
The German Mertz was talking and
182
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040
she was rolling her eyes, but
you could tell she really likes
183
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,440
Trump.
She was sitting right next to
184
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,320
him on his left, and she was
just, you could tell she was
185
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,000
impressed as I was.
I think a lot of people were, of
186
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,840
course, except for the people
who don't like him.
187
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,960
But I thought it was a master
class stroke and bringing all
188
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,240
those people together in the
name of peace, making it almost
189
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,680
seem possible that we can do
this.
190
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,920
It's for the history books.
Were you there?
191
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Well, yeah, thinking what what
the biggest thing that that you
192
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,120
will see that happened was when
Zelensky backed out of providing
193
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,040
what we wanted, that's
accountability.
194
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,640
And the president said, fine,
we'll just we've got a meeting
195
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,200
with Putin.
You've got you're not invited
196
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
anymore.
Zelensky was de invited, by the
197
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,680
way.
He was de invited to the event.
198
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,360
To to, to to the initial
meeting.
199
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,080
So when we had the when we had
the initial meeting and Zelinsky
200
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,440
is of course, begging, he is
blowing the phone up.
201
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,280
You know, what's going on,
what's going on, what's going
202
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,000
on?
And he saw that progress was
203
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,960
being made and we were now
considering, oh, maybe Russia
204
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,280
should keep some of that
property.
205
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:31,880
Maybe there's some political
here.
206
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Boy, he said, you know, how fast
can I get to the to the White
207
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,360
House?
And of course, we knew good.
208
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Well, when he wanted to get to
the White House, he wouldn't be
209
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,640
coming alone because NATO is
involved with it.
210
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,040
You have to understand this is
something not being reported
211
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,200
anywhere.
We're talking about getting
212
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,400
accountability for the American
dollars that were spent.
213
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,080
But our Intel indicates that
some of that money didn't just
214
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,120
come back to the United States.
We're going to talk about that,
215
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,560
but also went to do it to NATO.
So NATO is sitting here saying,
216
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:04,080
oh, we're putting our money up.
No, you actually were stealing
217
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,360
our money and putting our money
up.
218
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,680
And so now everybody's wanting
to scramble to make sure that
219
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:14,920
they can help monitor the
narrative and what comes out as
220
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,760
this begins to unfold We're.
Talking.
221
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,640
Billion right now.
Well, I you just say billions is
222
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,760
trillions now is now come up.
And so because of that, This is
223
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,080
why you hear me chuckle.
Yeah, everybody wants to make
224
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,160
sure don't don't forgive me.
I want, I want to explain what
225
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,600
happened and make sure you get
it right.
226
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,000
And don't think I I did that,
you know, trying to hurt you,
227
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,920
etcetera, etcetera.
So they're all family.
228
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,320
Now I see.
Yeah.
229
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,920
OK.
In other words, he's he's
230
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,280
looking at receipts and trying
to figure out where where the
231
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,920
money trail leads.
He knows.
232
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,320
They know that he knows, but
they can't admit that they know
233
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,680
that he knows.
And they're all scrambling,
234
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,160
going, oh, this is out of
control.
235
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,800
We're losing control of this
narrative and.
236
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,960
That's why you're seeing
Lezinsky realize, Lezinsky
237
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,280
realize it.
Well, I'm no longer calling the
238
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,680
shots now, am I?
I guess I better start being
239
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,000
more cooperative and start
figuring out how we bring this
240
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,800
matter to closure.
Because if we don't bring a
241
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,720
closure with some smiles,
they're going to come after us.
242
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,680
And NATO recognizes as well.
Yeah, devastating that would be
243
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,480
to when these facts, when I
didn't say, yeah, when these
244
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,680
facts come out that your good
friends, Jim, that you thought
245
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,280
were or had your back, were
stealing your back.
246
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,040
They didn't have your back at
all.
247
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680
You know, the IT, it, do you
think that, I mean, this is the
248
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,920
speculation from the globalist.
They want the war to continue.
249
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,280
Do you think that NATO wants the
war to continue?
250
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Because it for one question,
Europe, we know Germany, France,
251
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,440
England, they're having severe
money problems, energy problems.
252
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,640
They and and they want this.
This war would be good for them
253
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,440
politically.
Politically and economically,
254
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840
that's the most important is
economically.
255
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,040
This is what goes we've talked
about on your show before the
256
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,760
military industrial complex.
You know, we're trying to think
257
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,120
that's an American industry.
It is a predominant American
258
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,080
industry, but it's a world
industry and that doesn't do
259
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,280
anybody any good at the.com.
Flag someone to sell their arms.
260
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,440
So what's the next step?
What happens now?
261
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,680
We are now scheduling a meeting.
We've got obviously very
262
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:40,080
different response from Zelensky
and NATO, NATO leaders and now
263
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400
realizing that they're, you
know, they're in a box,
264
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720
basically they're in a, they're
in a rock and a hard place.
265
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,400
So we're now scheduling the
meeting, which will happen very
266
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,600
shortly here between Putin,
Zelensky, and I'm sure that
267
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,480
there'll be plenty of cell phone
calls in the bathroom giving
268
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,480
advice from the NATO to try to
bring this matter to a closure.
269
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,440
And it's going to come to a
closure.
270
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,040
Now, again, understand they're
still positioning and understand
271
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,320
that we have not forgotten.
We want accountability.
272
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040
And that's like going teeth
right now when we are getting
273
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,320
the teeth pulled.
And then that's going to be a
274
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,240
whole nother issue.
Hold on the second, because you
275
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,160
remember this accountability
we've talked about on your show.
276
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,480
We send money over there.
They take their percentage.
277
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,000
So the linsky take some
personally.
278
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,240
They take some, they spread it
around some of the other corrupt
279
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
government officials.
They take a dime out of it by a
280
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,320
couple bullets, and they send
the rest of it back to NGOs in
281
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,360
the United States who give it to
members of Congress who serve on
282
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,680
their boards or to NATO.
And we're going to find out
283
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,160
exactly how much.
And this is overwhelmingly
284
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,240
substantial.
Well, for the what is the key
285
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,240
out of what?
Yeah.
286
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,480
For the record, Michael Letts
has long asserted that the
287
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Ukraine and Russia conflict has
turned into a global money
288
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,040
laundering scheme.
And you're not backing down from
289
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
that.
And and I believe that that sort
290
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,680
of gives the motive for what all
these people are looking for
291
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,280
when they were in Washington
yesterday.
292
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,480
Not.
It's not about.
293
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,680
Peace.
Yeah, it's about saving people,
294
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,480
saving face and seeing what we
can do to minimize the damage.
295
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,560
I still would like you to keep
your valve, your water valve
296
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,200
turned on.
Maybe you can reduce the
297
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,480
pressure.
Maybe we don't get as much.
298
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,480
But I still would like to see if
we can get some.
299
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,040
And we're just not going to play
those games anymore.
300
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,680
Now, one other quick thing I
want to add that I want to
301
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,440
understand the complexity of
this, this issue.
302
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,240
Congress is not stupid.
The smart people you remember
303
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,600
you can give money $10 to a
nonprofit.
304
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:50,440
A nonprofit can pay its board
members all their are
305
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200
legalities.
It doesn't look good, but it can
306
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,960
be done.
So the question is going to be
307
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,600
even though trillions now what
we what we are showing not
308
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,320
billions.
Trillions have been removed from
309
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,960
the treasury was there?
Can you prove a crime in doing
310
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,120
so?
And that's going to be the key.
311
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,240
All right.
And so Michael, let's invest
312
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,440
usa.org is his website.
It is a great website.
313
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,840
It helps law enforcement
officers receive free of charge
314
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,880
bulletproof vest.
They're provided by the
315
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,240
donations that people like you
and I make to invest usa.org.
316
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,320
I don't know if you have.
Yeah, we can we go one more
317
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,760
segment.
There's other things in the
318
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
news.
I want to talk about ICE.
319
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,080
I also want to talk about DC.
And I also want to talk about
320
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,000
the big change that's going on
in the military, which is
321
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,880
phenomenal news thanks to Pete
Eggseth.
322
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,280
So we can get to all that in
just a moment.
323
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Don't forget, this program is
brought to you by Southwest
324
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,160
Florida, dreamhome.com.
Southwest Florida dreamhome.com.
325
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,200
All right, you're in DC,
Michael.
326
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,520
And how does it feel when you're
walking around?
327
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Does it feel like night and day?
Oh, it feels like during dream
328
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,040
night and day, let me tell you,
you, it's a feeling that every
329
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,000
American should have constantly.
And that is that this country is
330
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,680
safe and secure, and you have
the freedoms that were
331
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,920
guaranteed by our forefathers to
actually live like you want to
332
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,440
live.
It is an embarrassment when you
333
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,600
go to a lot of major cities now,
you know, in a short span of
334
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,520
say, 10 to 15 years, they've
just really gone to rot.
335
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,960
Whether it's Portland, I'm
sorry, folks.
336
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,200
I, I hate to say this.
Now I will say that the city of
337
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,400
Roses, it is a beautiful place,
but it's been destroyed by the
338
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,040
inner city policies that have
allowed vagrancy and drug
339
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,280
addiction and crime to rise in.
Its a besmirchment on the
340
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,360
American dream.
We'll continue just a moment.
341
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,880
You're listening to America
TODAY.
342
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,600
All right, welcome back And we
are America today, Jim Watkins
343
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,120
with my guest Michael left.
We're doing a third segment
344
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,840
because there's just so much
going on in our country.
345
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:23,840
He is with the president in the
in the Washington, in
346
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560
Washington, DC You've seen it
with your own eyes.
347
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,400
People are are going out at
night having dinner.
348
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,800
I was reading about some
national news guy, he said.
349
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,480
I took my, I think it was Bill
O'Reilly, he says.
350
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,680
I took my wife out to dinner for
the first time in three years
351
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:41,920
and felt safe.
I mean, that's a remarkable
352
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,600
thing.
The interesting.
353
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,880
I know this has nothing to do
with you, Michael, but it is
354
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,600
interesting that MSNBC is no
more.
355
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,480
And I think that is a very
significant cultural event which
356
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,240
declares maybe perhaps that that
period now that woke period of,
357
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,160
of America is dead.
I hope so.
358
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,480
You're you're exactly right,
Jim.
359
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320
And here's how to kind of finish
off that statement.
360
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,800
You know, we allowed, for lack
of a better word, because we
361
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,440
just get involved on
conservatives, We allow this
362
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,680
country to be taken over by
socialist, progressive, leftist
363
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,720
ideology.
And then we all got to live
364
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,200
under it for the last four
years.
365
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,280
So we realized how close we're
coming to losing everything that
366
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,640
we love.
And now we're rejecting those,
367
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,320
not just the philosophy, we're
rejecting those who were
368
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,480
espousing it.
A lot of that's the mainstream
369
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,680
media.
I think that's the first of many
370
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,160
to come with MSNBC.
Yeah, Now there are coalitions
371
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040
forming around the country that
are going and taking on
372
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:48,200
hospitals and clinics where they
do children mutilation under the
373
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,000
guise of whatever nonsense
they're pushing.
374
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,120
I think people are waking up,
you know, the left.
375
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,560
Maybe we could save it for
another discussion.
376
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,160
Maybe we'll save it for
tomorrow.
377
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,960
But I think the perception, I
was watching this movie with Ed
378
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,160
Sullivan, who was doing a thing
about Ed Sullivan, and half of
379
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760
the movie was about all the
racism that was going on in the
380
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,640
country.
It was like two different
381
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,800
movies.
And it occurred to me, it's the
382
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,120
left that thinks people are
racist.
383
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:20,680
It's the left that thinks that
conservatives are evil.
384
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,280
It's the left that thinks that
religion is bad.
385
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,800
It's the left that thinks that
family is discriminatory and,
386
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,040
and, and archaic.
These are the ones that seem to
387
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,160
have this false illusion of what
life should be in their eyes.
388
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,600
So we'll save that for another
day.
389
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,600
There's breaking news about
Michael Pence.
390
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,560
So tell me what's going on with
Michael Pence?
391
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,480
Big news.
Well, here, big news.
392
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,160
Tulsi in bless her heart, she's
doing a great job.
393
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,760
We're just making sure we keep
her safe right now.
394
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Tulsi has discovered additional
intelligence that was buried
395
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,960
that they thought they had
destroyed.
396
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,760
You remember these burn bags
that never got fulfilled, never
397
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:06,680
got burned have been a divulge
of information that they thought
398
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:12,080
they had long since destroyed.
Not just the burn bags but on
399
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
computer files that they thought
they had buried.
400
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,120
AD and I and other locations
that told he's having all of her
401
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:22,040
experts now intelligence go back
and research and pull anything
402
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,160
we can retrieve.
Some of the shocking things we
403
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,920
just found communication between
Mike Pence and what I call a
404
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:36,400
whole system of attempting aid
to undermine Trump during his
405
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,520
administration the minute he
took office and be being a part
406
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,120
of making sure that they finish
off the destruction by rigging
407
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,160
an election.
And yes, you're going to see I'm
408
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,720
not getting off of that kick
because it's not a kick.
409
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,360
We have the documentation.
You will be seeing it
410
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,960
forthcoming.
I realize there are some people
411
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,760
that sued managed to scare the
silence, but I hope they enjoyed
412
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,840
their their, their time in the
limelight because justice is
413
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,000
coming and Mike Pence is a part
of that.
414
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,760
And that's just it's, it's
disheartened to think that
415
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,840
somebody, you guys, your back is
your vice president is actually
416
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,240
trying to stab you.
So what specifically do we know
417
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,600
at this point that Mike Pence is
allegedly, allegedly has done?
418
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,600
He knew exactly what was being
transpired for the January 6th,
419
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,040
whether the guard was going to
be allowed to come how is being
420
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,120
blocked, how they were staging
it.
421
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,280
There were no just only Jim, you
and I know this.
422
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,480
If there is a real insurrection,
you would have you brought in
423
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,000
force to take over and then you
to maintain a position of
424
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,840
defense.
There is no force issued at all.
425
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,440
And then we know that the
testimonies were buried.
426
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,760
We know that the tapir had
January 6th Committee members
427
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,560
are sweating the bullets now.
They destroyed evidence and that
428
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800
is a federal crime.
And we here is the biggest
429
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,080
problem that we're encountering.
There is so much that has been
430
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320
the fairest and evil and wrong.
The question is where do you
431
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,920
start and how many people can
you get to help prosecute all
432
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,000
this?
You take just the resources we
433
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,160
have now.
We're going to be doing this for
434
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,920
the next 100 years.
Well, you're right, because the
435
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,080
Jan 6 appears more and more to
be a staged event by Nancy
436
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,920
Pelosi, ET al.
And I remember.
437
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,480
Yeah.
And that would make sense.
438
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,600
That would be a puzzle that
would fit because he was the
439
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,160
one.
You remember that whole thing?
440
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,360
We're going to hang Mike Pence
and he's sitting being coward in
441
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:47,080
an office somewhere.
You know, my, my initial
442
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,560
observation is that he had a lot
to gain by President Trump
443
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,840
failing.
And it would not surprise me to
444
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,920
to have that as a motivator for
him because he could have very
445
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600
and I always wonder why didn't
he take it back to the states?
446
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,360
There was plenty of evidence to
show that there was malfeasance,
447
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,440
plenty of evidence.
And now all that's coming to
448
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,360
light with the burn bags.
And they just arrested two more
449
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:13,880
people in Texas this week for
deliberately stuffing mailboxes.
450
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,640
And they got their cut.
So it was there, even though the
451
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,600
media was telling it, telling us
it was not there.
452
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,120
And Mike Pence should have known
that.
453
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,200
He should have sent it back to
the states, and he didn't.
454
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,480
And, and, and that makes me
think something suspicious about
455
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,280
him.
Let's get over to maybe.
456
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480
Work with Bill Barr to do that
as well, yeah.
457
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,400
So you're right, it's going to
take a long time to unravel and
458
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,880
I hope Americans don't lose
their attention span on this one
459
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,760
because it's it it plays to the
integrity of our, I hate to say
460
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,360
this, our democracy, all right,
and our Republic and our
461
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,480
Republic, All right.
So let's get over to, first of
462
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,360
all, what ice is really what's
up with doxing Now I know I may
463
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,040
be a little bit late to the
game, but did they dox
464
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,840
Christino?
She has to stay under.
465
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,320
That is correct because
citizens, who's doxing who?
466
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Who is responsible for the
doxing?
467
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Well, again, let's put it in the
terminology.
468
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,440
You have what we call the
leftist liberal organization.
469
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,760
Some people call it cabal, some
people call it, you know,
470
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,560
whatever you want to call it.
But they are determined to make
471
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,320
sure that they not just stop
Trump administration's policies,
472
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,240
but begin to undo them.
And what they're doing is
473
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,680
they're utilizing all their
resources, including doxing ICE,
474
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240
doxing administration members.
And we have enough crazy people
475
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,400
out there that when you put that
out there and say these people
476
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840
are destroying your country,
don't you love it?
477
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Go after them And they do.
And we, we are concerned for
478
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,480
their safety, whether it's Tulsi
or there is Christie.
479
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,120
And here's what we're having to
do with Christie right now.
480
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,160
We're having to put her on
military installations,
481
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,000
guarantee her security.
She can't actually roam the
482
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,720
streets like you and I can.
That's a shame.
483
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,400
But we're going to make sure
here that we have done.
484
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,720
Most people don't realize this.
We are finding out who's doing
485
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,160
the gossip from that.
Or there are some legislators
486
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,400
that have actually done.
They will be facing probably
487
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,880
today, maybe in them all
indictments that are coming
488
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,360
down.
They're going to be held
489
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,000
accountable for their actions.
We're going to have to take a
490
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,920
hard line stance with this
because it's not just a high
491
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,760
profile like Christie.
They're Daxing agents.
492
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,560
Can you imagine?
We don't pay law enforcement
493
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,040
that much to begin with.
Now they have to worry about
494
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,800
their family because of the job
that we're asking them to do.
495
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,000
There's absolutely no excuse for
that, Jim.
496
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Yeah, I mean, these are American
citizens that are doing the job
497
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,960
of law enforcement trying to
make people don't understand
498
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,280
that these people that they're
picking up everywhere are are
499
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,240
many of them are hardened,
murderous, vicious criminals.
500
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,800
And and you've got this group of
people that want to protect them
501
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,640
just because of the color of
their skin.
502
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960
And it makes them feel like
they're somehow virtuous, as if
503
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,480
they're playing the role of
freeing the Jews in 1934
504
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Germany.
And it just ain't.
505
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,600
So anyway, we've got more to
talk about tomorrow.
506
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,760
I want to talk about the
revamped military and the impact
507
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,080
that's having and why, because
that's a bit of good news as
508
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,320
well.
Maybe you can give us some light
509
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,960
on this strange case out of
California involving 2 parents
510
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,680
and their missing daughter.
That's kind of a strange case.
511
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,040
Yeah, I'm sure you have some
Intel on that as well.
512
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,720
So we'll talk to you again,
Michael.
513
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,000
Let's invest usa.org is his
organization that provides
514
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,320
bulletproof vests to law
enforcement and 1st responders,
515
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,600
and it ain't free.
So if you want to be kind today,
516
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,960
Invest usa.org.
Michael, let's we'll talk to you
517
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,280
again tomorrow at the same time
right here on the same channel.
518
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080
So thank you again, Sir.
Thank you.
00:00:14,530 --> 00:00:18,330
On my latest podcast, it's
entitled On the Eve of History,
2
00:00:18,330 --> 00:00:21,730
and I specifically chose that
title because number one, I
3
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:25,650
believed it in watching much of
the coverage on Monday of the
4
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:30,880
president with the world leaders
and Vladimir Zelensky and they
5
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,880
were doing the deal and we are
here.
6
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,520
Welcome to America Today.
I am Jim Watkins, I am your
7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,400
humbled host and we are excited
to have on Michael Letts, who
8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,120
has been all this time our
national security expert.
9
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,640
He's got a lot of a lot of
things that he knows about a lot
10
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,360
of areas of expertise that we
tap into on a regular basis.
11
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,040
He's also the CEO and founder of
Invest usa.org.
12
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Michael Letts, I know it's been
a long couple of days for you.
13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,720
Your initial assessments, How
did things go yesterday for
14
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Donald Trump, President Trump?
They went, they went, they went
15
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,480
exceptionally well.
We're making great progress.
16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,680
There are other there's a few
key areas yet to iron out.
17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,640
We can kind of briefly go over
with some of those workhorse.
18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,360
Let's talk about the positive
first.
19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,960
Initially, Putin has had this
position for decades.
20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Ukraine could not be a part of
NATO.
21
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,920
Now, you know, the Biden
administration did everything
22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,560
they could to make them a part
of NATO, breaking the promises
23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,480
of previous administrations and
putting Putin in a very
24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,960
defensive mode because obviously
he didn't want to have NATO with
25
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:51,440
tanks sitting half a block away
from a border to be able to move
26
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600
in and invade Russia.
Not that we ever would, but you
27
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
understand that NATO represents
all the alliances, including the
28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,160
United States.
And the pact with NATO is you
29
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,720
pick along one or one takes
action.
30
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,800
We all take action.
So that was a real threat to
31
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Putin.
So, you know, when Biden
32
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,320
administration was pushing that,
that's one of the reasons why
33
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880
they went to war.
That's why he made such a
34
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,960
prolific statement that had
Trump been president, he
35
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,360
wouldn't be sitting here today,
there would be no war, but by
36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720
the administration got us into
this mess and now we're trying
37
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,720
to figure it out.
So it was reaffirmed by Trump
38
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,160
then, no, we will not allow
Ukraine to be a part of NATO.
39
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Now you got Zelensky that wants
to be a part of NATO, that wants
40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,960
the security of protection from
all the European nations in the
41
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640
United States.
President had our, you know,
42
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,000
suggestion that Putin initially
rejected, but he's coming around
43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400
and that is this is how we're
working out the details.
44
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,480
We'll talk about this in a
minute.
45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,760
All the money that we spent over
there and the nefarious actions
46
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,640
and taking that money, the
criminality, etcetera, etcetera.
47
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,120
Bottom line is this President
feels very strongly that money
48
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,120
was not utilized for what we
allocated it for.
49
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,360
We want it back.
Of course you're going to have
50
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,680
those Zelensky saying we don't
have any money.
51
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:19,840
Where are you going to get it
from?
52
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,560
So the president has a very
powerful idea.
53
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,680
We've talked about it before.
Ukraine has some of the most
54
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,320
enriched minerals that deposits
anywhere in the world, stuff we
55
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,240
pay top dollar for from China
and other locations.
56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,760
So the President has suggested
that we do a partnership with
57
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,080
Ukraine.
We will come in, we will provide
58
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,560
the expertise, the necessary
machinery, etcetera, and mine
59
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,240
those precious metals.
I'm just going to use a
60
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,120
hypothetical.
Let's just say it's $10.00 an
61
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,760
ounce.
Instead of paying 10, because
62
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,680
now we're involved, we will pay
5.
63
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,080
We will split the cost or even
more.
64
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,280
You'll get something back,
Ukraine.
65
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,640
But what are we doing with the
rest of that money that's coming
66
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,720
from the generals?
We're paying back what was so
67
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,720
egregiously taken from our
treasury under false pretenses.
68
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,160
And of course, there's always a
push back for that out.
69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,240
It should be all our money.
But I think they realize that
70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,200
you're going to get a rich
resolution of this matter.
71
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,160
There's going to be give and
take.
72
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,360
And then of course, from Russia
standpoint, Russia wants to keep
73
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520
some of the territory.
Zelensky has always said no,
74
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,240
They don't get a a single bit of
it.
75
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,720
The problem with that scenario,
Jim, is this.
76
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,920
What did you do with the
territory, Zelensky, when you
77
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,920
had it in Ukraine?
Well, you allow bioweapon, your
78
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,640
facilities to be built on it
close to the border of Russia.
79
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,280
You allow headquarters for
child, child sex trafficking
80
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,760
there.
Yeah, Actually trafficking some
81
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Russian children now that he's
not very happy about that,
82
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,520
talking about public trafficking
some Russian children.
83
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,480
And so quite frankly, the Putin
is not excited about giving all
84
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,640
that property back that you use
for nefarious purposes and he's
85
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040
not going to.
Now we had taken a position in
86
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,480
the past that no, we were
supporting Zielinski and there
87
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,640
would be no property exchange.
However, as I mentioned, I think
88
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,440
last week with you, yeah, my
days are working together.
89
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,400
I can't remember whether we
talked about this on your show
90
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,160
or not.
You know, we had put together an
91
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,160
audit committee with the
blessing of Zielinski and with
92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,560
the participation of Ukraine to
track down every dime that we
93
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,720
have given either in dollars or
in military assets.
94
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,760
So we will know where did it all
go because right now, as of this
95
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,240
moment, nobody can answer that
question.
96
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,440
You know, public Zelensky
agreed.
97
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,160
But then three to four days ago,
he suddenly withdrew.
98
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,440
No, we're not going to
participate in any audits.
99
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,760
We're not going to tell you
where your money went.
100
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,840
So that changed the mindset of
this administration.
101
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:23,080
So now we are talking with Putin
now, Hey, don't be greedy.
102
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,920
You're not going to get all the
property that you took.
103
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,240
But maybe, perhaps there is a
need for some buffers, some
104
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,440
zones, some buffer areas?
I do want.
105
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,840
To ask you.
I do want to ask you, because in
106
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:38,720
talking about this one region,
the Donetsk and the Don Bass and
107
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,440
all that, what we've heard a
little bit about it, but not
108
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,800
enough in my opinion, what is
the de notification element that
109
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Putin, he wants to de notify
Ukraine?
110
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,800
What is he talking about?
Well, most people don't realize
111
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,200
that Ukraine went after the
World War 2.
112
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:08,160
There is a huge element of Nazis
that migrated there and still
113
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880
very firmly believe in the Nazi
philosophy.
114
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,320
And that's where their majority
of the congregation and their
115
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,640
followers are AT.
And so he wants a buffer to make
116
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,920
sure that, first of all, if
you're a Nazi in that area,
117
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,600
you're not going to stay there.
Second of all, he wants enough
118
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,680
distance in between that if they
were to decide to create their
119
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,560
own militia or try to what we
would call guerrilla warfare
120
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,920
tactics on the Russian people,
they feel very comfortable.
121
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,440
They can just go in and clean it
up.
122
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,000
And he is insistent on that
because of the fact that we do
123
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,040
know that there is no dispute
about whether there's an awful
124
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,600
lot of folks that have resettled
there who have a very great
125
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,400
sympathy for Nazis.
And so it makes common sense
126
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,760
that because understanding
history now, we haven't tried
127
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,200
this in from a historical
standpoint.
128
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Look at what happened in World
War 2 between Russian people and
129
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,400
the Nazis.
Nazis brutalized him, of course,
130
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,600
you know, when Russia was part
of the Allied system and they
131
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,600
came and made their way all the
way to Berlin, They did some
132
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,480
retaliation I'm I'm sure as
well.
133
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
But there's a great distaste,
distrust and hatred between
134
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,120
those two.
And so the President Putin's
135
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,280
going to make sure that they
can't take, have a launching pad
136
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,919
to go in and terrorize the
Russian people.
137
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,360
And that's why he says, I'm not
willing to just have gone in,
138
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760
cleaned it out to begin with and
then turn around, hand it back
139
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,520
and then go home.
We're going to have to have some
140
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,280
kind of good verification that
there is a buffer zone and we
141
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,720
can feel confident that we can
protect Russian people from any
142
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,480
Nazis of movement, that they
continue to arise.
143
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,640
Let's we got to take a quick
break.
144
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,080
I want to continue our
discussion.
145
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,600
We are talking with Michael
Letts.
146
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,480
He is the CEO and founder of
Invest usa.org.
147
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,760
He also is a former Green Beret
Special Forces top cop South
148
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Carolina, just a go to guide for
a lot of people in positions of
149
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:22,520
influence who seek his counsel.
And we will continue to do just
150
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,840
that as we continue with America
Today.
151
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,800
This segment of the program is

00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,360

00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640

dreamhome.com.
Let the journey begin.
159
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,520
We'll continue with ours as we
talk with Michael Letts on
160
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,040
America Today.
I'm Jim Watkins.
161
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Hang on.
You know, I, I Michael, I could
162
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,840
not help thinking about the TV
show The Apprentice.
163
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,040
Bring you back memories.
Yeah, because, you know, I mean,
164
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,280
that show was all about, you
know, here's the task at hand,
165
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,680
who can do the best job, Show me
the results.
166
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
And then if you do well, we'll,
we'll keep you.
167
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,200
And I and I thought this is the
man that orchestrated that that
168
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,880
whole television show, which was
hugely, you know, popular.
169
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,440
And there he is.
He's doing the deal.
170
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,440
He has masterminded the art of
the deal.
171
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760
He has commanded the presence
think.
172
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,840
I mean, when, when, when Putin
and Trump met Friday, I mean,
173
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,480
they announced the Zelensky
meeting on Monday.
174
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,840
And out of nowhere, all the
sudden these Learjets are
175
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,360
leaving Europe in droves.
We're not going to let them all
176
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,160
have a conversation without us
being there.
177
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,000
And, and he the way he
orchestrated it, he allowed
178
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,720
everybody to talk.
I love Maloney from Italy.
179
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,480
She's now famous for rolling her
eyes every time she sees
180
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,600
something that disgusts her.
Every time she looks at Macron,
181
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,960
she rolls her eyes.
The German Mertz was talking and
182
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040
she was rolling her eyes, but
you could tell she really likes
183
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,440
Trump.
She was sitting right next to
184
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,320
him on his left, and she was
just, you could tell she was
185
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,000
impressed as I was.
I think a lot of people were, of
186
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,840
course, except for the people
who don't like him.
187
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,960
But I thought it was a master
class stroke and bringing all
188
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,240
those people together in the
name of peace, making it almost
189
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,680
seem possible that we can do
this.
190
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,920
It's for the history books.
Were you there?
191
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Well, yeah, thinking what what
the biggest thing that that you
192
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,120
will see that happened was when
Zelensky backed out of providing
193
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,040
what we wanted, that's
accountability.
194
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,640
And the president said, fine,
we'll just we've got a meeting
195
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,200
with Putin.
You've got you're not invited
196
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
anymore.
Zelensky was de invited, by the
197
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,680
way.
He was de invited to the event.
198
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,360
To to, to to the initial
meeting.
199
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,080
So when we had the when we had
the initial meeting and Zelinsky
200
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,440
is of course, begging, he is
blowing the phone up.
201
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,280
You know, what's going on,
what's going on, what's going
202
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,000
on?
And he saw that progress was
203
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,960
being made and we were now
considering, oh, maybe Russia
204
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,280
should keep some of that
property.
205
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:31,880
Maybe there's some political
here.
206
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,760
Boy, he said, you know, how fast
can I get to the to the White
207
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,360
House?
And of course, we knew good.
208
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Well, when he wanted to get to
the White House, he wouldn't be
209
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,640
coming alone because NATO is
involved with it.
210
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,040
You have to understand this is
something not being reported
211
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,200
anywhere.
We're talking about getting
212
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,400
accountability for the American
dollars that were spent.
213
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,080
But our Intel indicates that
some of that money didn't just
214
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,120
come back to the United States.
We're going to talk about that,
215
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,560
but also went to do it to NATO.
So NATO is sitting here saying,
216
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:04,080
oh, we're putting our money up.
No, you actually were stealing
217
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,360
our money and putting our money
up.
218
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,680
And so now everybody's wanting
to scramble to make sure that
219
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:14,920
they can help monitor the
narrative and what comes out as
220
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,760
this begins to unfold We're.
Talking.
221
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,640
Billion right now.
Well, I you just say billions is
222
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,760
trillions now is now come up.
And so because of that, This is
223
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,080
why you hear me chuckle.
Yeah, everybody wants to make
224
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,160
sure don't don't forgive me.
I want, I want to explain what
225
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,600
happened and make sure you get
it right.
226
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,000
And don't think I I did that,
you know, trying to hurt you,
227
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,920
etcetera, etcetera.
So they're all family.
228
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,320
Now I see.
Yeah.
229
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,920
OK.
In other words, he's he's
230
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,280
looking at receipts and trying
to figure out where where the
231
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,920
money trail leads.
He knows.
232
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,320
They know that he knows, but
they can't admit that they know
233
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,680
that he knows.
And they're all scrambling,
234
00:13:54,680 --> 00:13:56,160
going, oh, this is out of
control.
235
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,800
We're losing control of this
narrative and.
236
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,960
That's why you're seeing
Lezinsky realize, Lezinsky
237
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,280
realize it.
Well, I'm no longer calling the
238
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,680
shots now, am I?
I guess I better start being
239
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,000
more cooperative and start
figuring out how we bring this
240
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,800
matter to closure.
Because if we don't bring a
241
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,720
closure with some smiles,
they're going to come after us.
242
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,680
And NATO recognizes as well.
Yeah, devastating that would be
243
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,480
to when these facts, when I
didn't say, yeah, when these
244
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,680
facts come out that your good
friends, Jim, that you thought
245
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,280
were or had your back, were
stealing your back.
246
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,040
They didn't have your back at
all.
247
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680
You know, the IT, it, do you
think that, I mean, this is the
248
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,920
speculation from the globalist.
They want the war to continue.
249
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,280
Do you think that NATO wants the
war to continue?
250
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,800
Because it for one question,
Europe, we know Germany, France,
251
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,440
England, they're having severe
money problems, energy problems.
252
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,640
They and and they want this.
This war would be good for them
253
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,440
politically.
Politically and economically,
254
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840
that's the most important is
economically.
255
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,040
This is what goes we've talked
about on your show before the
256
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,760
military industrial complex.
You know, we're trying to think
257
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,120
that's an American industry.
It is a predominant American
258
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,080
industry, but it's a world
industry and that doesn't do
259
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,280
anybody any good at the.com.
Flag someone to sell their arms.
260
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,440
So what's the next step?
What happens now?
261
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,680
We are now scheduling a meeting.
We've got obviously very
262
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:40,080
different response from Zelensky
and NATO, NATO leaders and now
263
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400
realizing that they're, you
know, they're in a box,
264
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720
basically they're in a, they're
in a rock and a hard place.
265
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,400
So we're now scheduling the
meeting, which will happen very
266
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,600
shortly here between Putin,
Zelensky, and I'm sure that
267
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,480
there'll be plenty of cell phone
calls in the bathroom giving
268
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,480
advice from the NATO to try to
bring this matter to a closure.
269
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,440
And it's going to come to a
closure.
270
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,040
Now, again, understand they're
still positioning and understand
271
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,320
that we have not forgotten.
We want accountability.
272
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040
And that's like going teeth
right now when we are getting
273
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,320
the teeth pulled.
And then that's going to be a
274
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,240
whole nother issue.
Hold on the second, because you
275
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,160
remember this accountability
we've talked about on your show.
276
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,480
We send money over there.
They take their percentage.
277
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,000
So the linsky take some
personally.
278
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,240
They take some, they spread it
around some of the other corrupt
279
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,240
government officials.
They take a dime out of it by a
280
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,320
couple bullets, and they send
the rest of it back to NGOs in
281
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,360
the United States who give it to
members of Congress who serve on
282
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,680
their boards or to NATO.
And we're going to find out
283
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,160
exactly how much.
And this is overwhelmingly
284
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,240
substantial.
Well, for the what is the key
285
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,240
out of what?
Yeah.
286
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,480
For the record, Michael Letts
has long asserted that the
287
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Ukraine and Russia conflict has
turned into a global money
288
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,040
laundering scheme.
And you're not backing down from
289
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
that.
And and I believe that that sort
290
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,680
of gives the motive for what all
these people are looking for
291
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,280
when they were in Washington
yesterday.
292
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,480
Not.
It's not about.
293
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,680
Peace.
Yeah, it's about saving people,
294
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,480
saving face and seeing what we
can do to minimize the damage.
295
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,560
I still would like you to keep
your valve, your water valve
296
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,200
turned on.
Maybe you can reduce the
297
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,480
pressure.
Maybe we don't get as much.
298
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,480
But I still would like to see if
we can get some.
299
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,040
And we're just not going to play
those games anymore.
300
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,680
Now, one other quick thing I
want to add that I want to
301
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,440
understand the complexity of
this, this issue.
302
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,240
Congress is not stupid.
The smart people you remember
303
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,600
you can give money $10 to a
nonprofit.
304
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:50,440
A nonprofit can pay its board
members all their are
305
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,200
legalities.
It doesn't look good, but it can
306
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,960
be done.
So the question is going to be
307
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,600
even though trillions now what
we what we are showing not
308
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,320
billions.
Trillions have been removed from
309
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,960
the treasury was there?
Can you prove a crime in doing
310
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,120
so?
And that's going to be the key.
311
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,240
All right.
And so Michael, let's invest
312
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,440
usa.org is his website.
It is a great website.
313
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,840
It helps law enforcement
officers receive free of charge
314
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,880
bulletproof vest.
They're provided by the
315
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,240
donations that people like you
and I make to invest usa.org.
316
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,320
I don't know if you have.
Yeah, we can we go one more
317
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,760
segment.
There's other things in the
318
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
news.
I want to talk about ICE.
319
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,080
I also want to talk about DC.
And I also want to talk about
320
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:39,000
the big change that's going on
in the military, which is
321
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,880
phenomenal news thanks to Pete
Eggseth.
322
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,280
So we can get to all that in
just a moment.
323
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Don't forget, this program is
brought to you by Southwest
324
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,160
Florida, dreamhome.com.
Southwest Florida dreamhome.com.
325
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,200
All right, you're in DC,
Michael.
326
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,520
And how does it feel when you're
walking around?
327
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,840
Does it feel like night and day?
Oh, it feels like during dream
328
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,040
night and day, let me tell you,
you, it's a feeling that every
329
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,000
American should have constantly.
And that is that this country is
330
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,680
safe and secure, and you have
the freedoms that were
331
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,920
guaranteed by our forefathers to
actually live like you want to
332
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,440
live.
It is an embarrassment when you
333
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,600
go to a lot of major cities now,
you know, in a short span of
334
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,520
say, 10 to 15 years, they've
just really gone to rot.
335
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,960
Whether it's Portland, I'm
sorry, folks.
336
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,200
I, I hate to say this.
Now I will say that the city of
337
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,400
Roses, it is a beautiful place,
but it's been destroyed by the
338
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,040
inner city policies that have
allowed vagrancy and drug
339
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,280
addiction and crime to rise in.
Its a besmirchment on the
340
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,360
American dream.
We'll continue just a moment.
341
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:48,880
You're listening to America
TODAY.
342
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,600
All right, welcome back And we
are America today, Jim Watkins
343
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,120
with my guest Michael left.
We're doing a third segment
344
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,840
because there's just so much
going on in our country.
345
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:23,840
He is with the president in the
in the Washington, in
346
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560
Washington, DC You've seen it
with your own eyes.
347
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,400
People are are going out at
night having dinner.
348
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,800
I was reading about some
national news guy, he said.
349
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,480
I took my, I think it was Bill
O'Reilly, he says.
350
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,680
I took my wife out to dinner for
the first time in three years
351
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:41,920
and felt safe.
I mean, that's a remarkable
352
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,600
thing.
The interesting.
353
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,880
I know this has nothing to do
with you, Michael, but it is
354
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,600
interesting that MSNBC is no
more.
355
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,480
And I think that is a very
significant cultural event which
356
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,240
declares maybe perhaps that that
period now that woke period of,
357
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,160
of America is dead.
I hope so.
358
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,480
You're you're exactly right,
Jim.
359
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,320
And here's how to kind of finish
off that statement.
360
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,800
You know, we allowed, for lack
of a better word, because we
361
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,440
just get involved on
conservatives, We allow this
362
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,680
country to be taken over by
socialist, progressive, leftist
363
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,720
ideology.
And then we all got to live
364
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,200
under it for the last four
years.
365
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,280
So we realized how close we're
coming to losing everything that
366
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,640
we love.
And now we're rejecting those,
367
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,320
not just the philosophy, we're
rejecting those who were
368
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,480
espousing it.
A lot of that's the mainstream
369
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,680
media.
I think that's the first of many
370
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,160
to come with MSNBC.
Yeah, Now there are coalitions
371
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040
forming around the country that
are going and taking on
372
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:48,200
hospitals and clinics where they
do children mutilation under the
373
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,000
guise of whatever nonsense
they're pushing.
374
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,120
I think people are waking up,
you know, the left.
375
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,560
Maybe we could save it for
another discussion.
376
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,160
Maybe we'll save it for
tomorrow.
377
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,960
But I think the perception, I
was watching this movie with Ed
378
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,160
Sullivan, who was doing a thing
about Ed Sullivan, and half of
379
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760
the movie was about all the
racism that was going on in the
380
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,640
country.
It was like two different
381
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,800
movies.
And it occurred to me, it's the
382
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,120
left that thinks people are
racist.
383
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:20,680
It's the left that thinks that
conservatives are evil.
384
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,280
It's the left that thinks that
religion is bad.
385
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,800
It's the left that thinks that
family is discriminatory and,
386
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,040
and, and archaic.
These are the ones that seem to
387
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,160
have this false illusion of what
life should be in their eyes.
388
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,600
So we'll save that for another
day.
389
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,600
There's breaking news about
Michael Pence.
390
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,560
So tell me what's going on with
Michael Pence?
391
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,480
Big news.
Well, here, big news.
392
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,160
Tulsi in bless her heart, she's
doing a great job.
393
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,760
We're just making sure we keep
her safe right now.
394
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Tulsi has discovered additional
intelligence that was buried
395
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,960
that they thought they had
destroyed.
396
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,760
You remember these burn bags
that never got fulfilled, never
397
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:06,680
got burned have been a divulge
of information that they thought
398
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:12,080
they had long since destroyed.
Not just the burn bags but on
399
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
computer files that they thought
they had buried.
400
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,120
AD and I and other locations
that told he's having all of her
401
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:22,040
experts now intelligence go back
and research and pull anything
402
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,160
we can retrieve.
Some of the shocking things we
403
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,920
just found communication between
Mike Pence and what I call a
404
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:36,400
whole system of attempting aid
to undermine Trump during his
405
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,520
administration the minute he
took office and be being a part
406
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,120
of making sure that they finish
off the destruction by rigging
407
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:47,160
an election.
And yes, you're going to see I'm
408
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,720
not getting off of that kick
because it's not a kick.
409
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,360
We have the documentation.
You will be seeing it
410
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,960
forthcoming.
I realize there are some people
411
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,760
that sued managed to scare the
silence, but I hope they enjoyed
412
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,840
their their, their time in the
limelight because justice is
413
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,000
coming and Mike Pence is a part
of that.
414
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,760
And that's just it's, it's
disheartened to think that
415
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,840
somebody, you guys, your back is
your vice president is actually
416
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,240
trying to stab you.
So what specifically do we know
417
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,600
at this point that Mike Pence is
allegedly, allegedly has done?
418
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,600
He knew exactly what was being
transpired for the January 6th,
419
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,040
whether the guard was going to
be allowed to come how is being
420
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,120
blocked, how they were staging
it.
421
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,280
There were no just only Jim, you
and I know this.
422
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,480
If there is a real insurrection,
you would have you brought in
423
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,000
force to take over and then you
to maintain a position of
424
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,840
defense.
There is no force issued at all.
425
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,440
And then we know that the
testimonies were buried.
426
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,760
We know that the tapir had
January 6th Committee members
427
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,560
are sweating the bullets now.
They destroyed evidence and that
428
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800
is a federal crime.
And we here is the biggest
429
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,080
problem that we're encountering.
There is so much that has been
430
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,320
the fairest and evil and wrong.
The question is where do you
431
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,920
start and how many people can
you get to help prosecute all
432
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,000
this?
You take just the resources we
433
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,160
have now.
We're going to be doing this for
434
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,920
the next 100 years.
Well, you're right, because the
435
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,080
Jan 6 appears more and more to
be a staged event by Nancy
436
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,920
Pelosi, ET al.
And I remember.
437
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,480
Yeah.
And that would make sense.
438
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,600
That would be a puzzle that
would fit because he was the
439
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,160
one.
You remember that whole thing?
440
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,360
We're going to hang Mike Pence
and he's sitting being coward in
441
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:47,080
an office somewhere.
You know, my, my initial
442
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,560
observation is that he had a lot
to gain by President Trump
443
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,840
failing.
And it would not surprise me to
444
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,920
to have that as a motivator for
him because he could have very
445
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,600
and I always wonder why didn't
he take it back to the states?
446
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,360
There was plenty of evidence to
show that there was malfeasance,
447
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,440
plenty of evidence.
And now all that's coming to
448
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,360
light with the burn bags.
And they just arrested two more
449
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:13,880
people in Texas this week for
deliberately stuffing mailboxes.
450
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,640
And they got their cut.
So it was there, even though the
451
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,600
media was telling it, telling us
it was not there.
452
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,120
And Mike Pence should have known
that.
453
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:24,200
He should have sent it back to
the states, and he didn't.
454
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,480
And, and, and that makes me
think something suspicious about
455
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,280
him.
Let's get over to maybe.
456
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,480
Work with Bill Barr to do that
as well, yeah.
457
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,400
So you're right, it's going to
take a long time to unravel and
458
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,880
I hope Americans don't lose
their attention span on this one
459
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,760
because it's it it plays to the
integrity of our, I hate to say
460
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,360
this, our democracy, all right,
and our Republic and our
461
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:48,480
Republic, All right.
So let's get over to, first of
462
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:54,360
all, what ice is really what's
up with doxing Now I know I may
463
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,040
be a little bit late to the
game, but did they dox
464
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,840
Christino?
She has to stay under.
465
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,320
That is correct because
citizens, who's doxing who?
466
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Who is responsible for the
doxing?
467
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Well, again, let's put it in the
terminology.
468
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,440
You have what we call the
leftist liberal organization.
469
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,760
Some people call it cabal, some
people call it, you know,
470
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:24,560
whatever you want to call it.
But they are determined to make
471
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,320
sure that they not just stop
Trump administration's policies,
472
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,240
but begin to undo them.
And what they're doing is
473
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,680
they're utilizing all their
resources, including doxing ICE,
474
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,240
doxing administration members.
And we have enough crazy people
475
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,400
out there that when you put that
out there and say these people
476
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840
are destroying your country,
don't you love it?
477
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Go after them And they do.
And we, we are concerned for
478
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,480
their safety, whether it's Tulsi
or there is Christie.
479
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,120
And here's what we're having to
do with Christie right now.
480
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,160
We're having to put her on
military installations,
481
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,000
guarantee her security.
She can't actually roam the
482
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,720
streets like you and I can.
That's a shame.
483
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,400
But we're going to make sure
here that we have done.
484
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,720
Most people don't realize this.
We are finding out who's doing
485
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,160
the gossip from that.
Or there are some legislators
486
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,400
that have actually done.
They will be facing probably
487
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,880
today, maybe in them all
indictments that are coming
488
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,360
down.
They're going to be held
489
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,000
accountable for their actions.
We're going to have to take a
490
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,920
hard line stance with this
because it's not just a high
491
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,760
profile like Christie.
They're Daxing agents.
492
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,560
Can you imagine?
We don't pay law enforcement
493
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,040
that much to begin with.
Now they have to worry about
494
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,800
their family because of the job
that we're asking them to do.
495
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,000
There's absolutely no excuse for
that, Jim.
496
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Yeah, I mean, these are American
citizens that are doing the job
497
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,960
of law enforcement trying to
make people don't understand
498
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,280
that these people that they're
picking up everywhere are are
499
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,240
many of them are hardened,
murderous, vicious criminals.
500
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,800
And and you've got this group of
people that want to protect them
501
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,640
just because of the color of
their skin.
502
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,960
And it makes them feel like
they're somehow virtuous, as if
503
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,480
they're playing the role of
freeing the Jews in 1934
504
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Germany.
And it just ain't.
505
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,600
So anyway, we've got more to
talk about tomorrow.
506
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,760
I want to talk about the
revamped military and the impact
507
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,080
that's having and why, because
that's a bit of good news as
508
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,320
well.
Maybe you can give us some light
509
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,960
on this strange case out of
California involving 2 parents
510
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,680
and their missing daughter.
That's kind of a strange case.
511
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,040
Yeah, I'm sure you have some
Intel on that as well.
512
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,720
So we'll talk to you again,
Michael.
513
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,000
Let's invest usa.org is his
organization that provides
514
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,320
bulletproof vests to law
enforcement and 1st responders,
515
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,600
and it ain't free.
So if you want to be kind today,
516
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,960
Invest usa.org.
Michael, let's we'll talk to you
517
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,280
again tomorrow at the same time
right here on the same channel.
518
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,080
So thank you again, Sir.
Thank you.
