Badlands Media - Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 181: DeGenova, Brennan's Kill List and the Obama Death Pool

Episode Date: April 21, 2026

Jon Herold and Zak Paine kick off Episode 181 with a debate over whether Joe DeGenova's DOJ hire signals real progress or is just a PR move, while unpacking Pam Bondi's alleged role in blocking him from the start. Cash Patel's Maria Bartiromo interview, his apparent slip about indicting "former director Comey," and his $250M lawsuit against The Atlantic all get put under the microscope. Then the show goes deep on John Brennan: from his 1976 communist party membership and suspicious CIA entry, to his Saudi Arabia post and alleged Islam conversion used as a counterintelligence operation against him. The guys walk through the 2008 Obama passport breach, the murder of cooperating witness Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., Brennan's "Terror Tuesday" kill meetings, the disposition matrix, and the suspicious death of journalist Michael Hastings, whose last unfinished article was reportedly about Brennan.

What's going on here? You began to wonder what was really happening in America. I mean, was there a vast conspiracy afoot? There could have been a conspiracy. Do you think you're obsessed with conspiracy? Conspiracy theory. A conspiracy. I'm afraid you'll catch me.

Afraid you'll catch me. A conspiracy would do the job nicely. Well, good evening, everybody, and welcome to another episode of your favorite Monday night show, likely your favorite show overall. Baseless conspiracies. As always, I'm joined by Zach. Zach, how you doing, sir? I'm doing well.

Doing well. I see we're having some trouble with a couple of platforms. Yeah, so I don't know what show was before us. I think it's a book of Trump probably. Culture of change. And culture of change has ghost on. That's the problem. They're streaming to those platforms prior to us streaming to them, so we have to wait for them to be done for those to work.

So Facebook, Twitch, and Kick will kick in in a little bit. but I'm assuming since ghost is talking, it could be a couple hours yet. He's like the, uh, the ghost of, uh, B.B.'s future. Yeah. Yeah. Like if, uh, B.B. had a child with himself and came out twice as long winded. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Yeah.

With all due respect. Um, well, I, for you, maybe. For me, it's no respect at all. There's a little respect as possible. But yeah, man. Um, what's, going on you know what it's i it was a busy weekend yeah i was pretty excited about it what did you do you probably like didn't even crack a smile i know how how jaded you are about everything the burnout's real man we should talk about that a little bit but what what about the weekend was busy

you tell me what happened this weekend i would i would say that first of all joe de jennava being hired re-hired by the doj and then good sign and then yes Very good sign. If I had like a dream team wish list of any U.S. attorney that could ever be in charge of the grand conspiracy investigation, Joe DeGeneva is the man. Okay. Can I ask you a question though? Yes. Yes. In terms of where we're at on the timeline and progress wise, how could that pot like he should have been hired first thing. He's coming in now. Like we're going to have to wait another few months. Actually, actually, you know what the first thing he did was? subpoena cooperating witnesses that he didn't that that's a PR move bro. Wait, wait, wait. How is it a PR move if before they were just going to give an interview, an off the record interview with. It was on the record.

Okay, but not under oath. Okay, like you were. They were cooperating witnesses. They were already scheduled to come in. They were scheduled to come in and speak with FBI and DOJ officials. Okay. Now they're actually coming in and testifying under oath before the grand jury. All right.

It is just that much closer to. to actually using their testimony. But, Zach, on Brennan. Okay, so just give me a win here, John. Okay, like this is like universally a positive, all right? I disagree and let me explain why, okay? Please. So you're a cooperating witness, meaning what the operative word there is cooperating,

meaning you will do whatever you're asked to do. They could have just asked them to come in to the grand jury and testify. They had him already scheduled, yes, under the previous attorney, but he subpoenaed them and, That is a PR move. It was unnecessary, but they wanted the PR to make it look like they're making progress and stuff on the case. That is my take on that. Okay.

So I think that we both have a feeling. Then I mean, I would say also the firing of the former U.S. Attorney Maria mereditos or whatever her name is, probably a Cuban, maybe connections to central intelligence. Big booty Latina. We don't know. Big booty Latina, for sure. All right. I would I think it's pretty obvious that there was some slow walking going on all right and I think that those people could have easily been questioned and their testimony could have just been shuffled away someplace.

And then when the FBI comes in to testify in their stead to the grand jury, they can say, well, you know, they told me a couple of things, but, you know, I don't know this answer and perhaps I don't know this answer. Now they actually come in. They speak directly to the grand jury. Everything that they could possibly say has gotten on the record at that time. I feel like it is a good move. And I think that Joe DeGeneva is not there to slow walk anything. And I believe that Joe DeGeneva has an incredible amount of knowledge about all of this stuff. And I'm sure you've seen him previously say that, you know, if he had his

druthers, Obama would be the first person to be indicted. Yeah, I've seen him out. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, and Biden's DOJ literally raided Joe in Victoria's home. All right. They did the lawfare thing against them. So he's also been a victim of the whole thing. I just, I just think that there's a lot of indicators.

Okay. So take that on its own and then add in Cash Patel and Harmeet Dillon doing an interview with Victoria, or what's her name, Maria? Bart Romo over the weekend. She hit them both with, you know, what's the problem? Why has nothing happened? Are you going to do something? And Cash Patel said, you know, undoubtedly, yes. Like, we get it. We get it. And I think that that was a PR move. Okay. I think that they know at the FBI and the DOJ that pretty much the entirety of the base is, is fed up at this point, feeling like nothing is going to happen. All right. Yeah. So with DGeneva, too, one more thing. He was originally

hired to be Trump's attorneys during the Russia gate stuff back in 2018. He was like two days later removed for conflict of interest. They ever said what the conflict of interest actually was in terms of that hiring. I wonder if that's going to come up and bite them in the butt now.

Because whatever that conflict of interest is, it probably didn't go away. Well, at that time, he and Victoria were representing a Ukrainian. Yes. Firtash. Yeah, yeah. So I,

they also represented later on Lev Parnas. I think both those guys were like deep state people. Yeah, yeah. I think so too. Yeah. So that's not a positive check on my book. You know, one of the,

one of the subsets of the internet that I follow, um, is the, the Russia Gate like, I don't even know what you call them, the sleuths. Yeah. People like Hans,

Hans Monschi, undead foyer. Um, there's this McIntyre guy there's this whole group of like fool full now fool nelson um it's like 10 guys and all they do is like every day go through digs and stuff about the rush gate stuff yeah and that's who i was like looking at like okay these guys would know everything about they know everything about everything when it comes to this case what are their thoughts on the di janeva thing and there's like a consensus

across the board like well this sucks like we we are a year and a half into the this and maybe it's not that he's not even necessarily a bad hire it's the fact that we've been waiting a year and a half already wasted a year and a half yeah where we should have been balls deep even maybe a little further than balls deep i don't know what that is but that's where we should have been with this and but we're not like we now we're back to just the tip with a freaking new attorney and that sucks in terms of when we're going to get the accountability justice and so that news breaks cash patelle goes on with maria baronaramo and he's like yeah just just watch this week we're going to get some things.

We're going to get some news on the election integrity front, which, yes, I know these, these rugs are out there. Okay. We don't know if they're going to end up being rugs. I may have a foot on, one foot on the RICO ground rug, one foot on the election integrity rug. Hopefully they don't get pulled at the same time. Maybe hopefully don't get pulled at all.

But it's possible, dude. Like that, cash coming out and saying that. And guys, I want to be optimistic. I want to be hopeful. I want to smoke all that, hopeium with everybody in the chat who gets mad at me for talking about this, but this is reality. It's not a good sign. Like, things are not.

Here's my position. We know, you're a very hopeful guys, Zach. I am very helpful. I am very helpful. Okay. So either Cash Patel just gave us a big signal because he doesn't want everybody to do him out and the president doesn't want everybody to do him out. Or he just made the biggest fool of himself and he will never recover from this.

Okay. Because he's already got a lot of. long way to go going back to that terrible interview that him and dan bonjino did in regards to the epstein files all right so you know not to mention i think that it's highly notable that the atlantic release that huge hit piece about him just over the week like that was timed perfectly with the announcement of de jennava's hiring and then of course he comes out and does this interview and then today he files this 250 million dollar lawsuit you know i i think that it's obvious that the atlantic piece is a total smear job and i don't think that cash patel would have submitted himself to discovery

if it wasn't for the fact that he's confident that everything they said is total bullshit Gavin's saying i wish to the degenerates that have said much worse things about me than the atlantic said about cash patel had that kind of money that i could sue them for that because who the degenerates that have been going after me and smearing my name call me a pedophile and all that oh okay yeah i wish they had that kind of money yeah they have no following and no money at all so like it's not not even worth it's a futile efforts yeah cost me money to sue them yeah i think it is interesting um and i saw a couple comments in the chat i am not saying that djenev is a bad hire i'm saying that the fact that they're bringing him in now this seemingly late in the game is not a

good sign for where the progress of that investigation is i i agree with you in theory right there okay like i mean i i too am like fighting the urge to just say like jiz o p that's It's like somebody was blocking it since the very beginning. Yeah, I mean, of course, a lot of people are going to say Pam Bondi. And I find it difficult to really blame anybody else, all right. But at the end of the day, I wasn't there. I don't have the information, but I have the distinct feeling that somebody was definitely cock blocking. Okay.

Yeah, C Patterson, 421, left a $10 rumble rant saying, hey, guys, I saw an interview of Joe and Victoria from about a month ago. They said Joe was supposed to start from the beginning, but Pam Bondi blocked it. And what does that tell you about Pam Bondi and all the fucking cheerleaders that were cheering her every move? Yeah, yeah. Believe me, I get it. I get it. All right. Now, here's the thing.

If that's what they're saying and now Joe is actually hired there, I tend to put a little bit of weight on that. All right. But, you know, again, all we can do is kind of just sit along and wait and watch. I mean, we really don't have any other choice. And, you know, ultimately, I believe we are moving towards accountability, towards real accountability. And so. And that's the one thing that I'm focused on, okay?

Because, you know, somebody in the chat earlier today was like, but Zach, I thought, I thought you said arrest were coming eight years ago. And I was like, hey, fuck, man. You did. Yeah, everybody thought. Everybody, everybody, you know, people didn't think Trump was going to have the election stolen. Plenty people didn't think Trump was. even going to come back in 2024 but I love that book so much oh my god and this is all I'm

trying to do when I talk like this guys is get you to temper your expectations because one of the things I am seeing right now Zach movement wide is this feeling of there's two there's two feelings that I'm seeing one is like everybody's just kind of like waiting like what what the hell what what's going on there's like nothing major happening it's all reruns like it's almost like the we're in this holding pattern for something. Right. And the other thing I'm seeing is a lot of people are burning out. They got the feeling of burnout.

And I feel like you can avoid the burnout if you temper your damn expectations, which is all I'm trying to do with this. I have read every single Russiagate, SpyGate document. I've read every single thing that's been declassified. I've read everyone at Trump's. I mean, I've read the documents, pretty much every document you could possibly throw at me

when it comes to all this stuff. and there's been hardly any documents to even read for the past like nine months. So I'm looking forward to hypersonic clarity or whatever John Solomon said it was going to be. So I'm like more than familiar with the ins and outs of what's out there with these cases and where we should get justice. I want the justice and accountability just as much as the next person. Of course. But we have not had a lick of actual evidence or reason to believe we're going to get that at this point,

other than these people on TV telling us, like, yeah, we're definitely going to get those guys. Well, I'm not, I'm not really paying attention to those people on TV. What I'm paying attention to you. You just thought up those people. Well, I mean, I brought them up as an anecdotal piece of evidence about like this ongoing series of events that took place over the weekend. But what really juices me is simply the placing of Judge DeGnevah, okay, it shows movement. All right. We immediately get the subpoenas to bring people before the grand jury.

I feel like that's a harder-edged example of present. presenting evidence to the grand jury rather than just having some faceless FBI agents to it. And I also think about the longer game aspect of this that if they're not successful, then it's me, it spells absolute doom. Okay. I mean, like my expectations are tempered. I've had a lifetime of disappointment, John. I mean, like, I've been long for the ride for a really long time.

But here's the thing. Along with my expectations being tempered, I also prefer to focus on. the positive outcome. Okay, like, that's what I'm looking towards. That's what I feel the administration is actually moving towards. And so rather than, you know, kicking myself in the ass and saying, yeah, you know, it might, you know, I know, I know, I know, here's the thing I just, I prefer to live on the sunnier side of the street.

That's just how I want to live my life, you know? That's a thing. Like, the way you said that, you make it seem like I'm not optimistic. And I'm a very, like, cheerful fellow. I just feel like somebody's got to do it. This is my role, right? On the show, I'm the skeptic. It's okay.

I'm the one who is trying to bring people back to reality, mainly out of fear of people blackpilling. There's too many people that have done that so far. Well, you know, I mean, I feel like there's all, there's got to be a black pill period for everybody. If they've made it this far and they've never blackpilled before, in my experience, they probably haven't been awake for that long. Yeah, and I'm so sorry, guys.

It's it was very insensitive. It's African-American pill. We should have, you should have corrected that from the beginning, but. It's so funny. But yeah, I mean, it's like I've already been at my blackest point, all right?

And I'm, you know, I've already come back from a place where I didn't think it was possible that we could even move forward. And I've seen it, okay? I mean, I've seen what's possible and I've seen President Trump do things that

many people did not believe were ever going to happen. And so, yeah, it and that's you know why i get excited about it my worry is though like for most people not everybody but there's a saying about this like once you go black you don't go back and that's i'm just worried about people black pilling and not being able to recover okay i think that everybody can recover from a black pill and you know here's a point that i made last week president trump is a master of manipulation and using the medium and stuff like that um but at this point in his

administration, the only thing that he needs to worry about is like hurting the cats to get the job done. All right. Like, you know, he needs to keep the country happy in a manner of speaking. But like, he's already shown that he's more than willing to allow the entire country to go through a painful period of reconstruction, if that means that ultimately at the end of the day, things are going to be better than they were when they began. Yeah. You know, we talked about this at a couple of guard, guard panels. like we have we have made a lot of like there's been a lot of positive things that have happened since you know trump's first term um since you know even even him getting back in there this time around

but there are a couple things that no matter how good things are if a certain couple of boxes aren't checked i think it's going to be hard for a lot of people to look at what trump did and call it a win and i'm not saying that's that's reality like it is that way but i feel like a lot of people are going to look at that and say if we don't get election integrity fixed, if we don't get some, you know, at least progress in exposing the Russia gate stuff and the impeachment stuff and the COVID stuff and the stolen election and the political persecution. And I mean, you can go on and on on. We need to at least get to the bottom of some of that stuff and close around some of those stories. Oh, I agree.

I think that we will, though, ultimately. I mean, that's truly what I believe. And I mean, I just, I keep seeing them chip away at it. And I realize that it's not happening as fast as people want it. the truth of the matter is there will always be a certain segment of the population that isn't going to be satisfied perhaps not ultimately maybe at the end you know people were going to look back and see this in a different light than perhaps they did when it was right in front of their faces but you know i mean people tend to think very small okay like on these like short little timelines you know like what's that how dare you i'm not accusing you i'm not accusing you i'm talking about just like this is a part of the human condition all right people they they have a

limited framework that they operate with him rather than trying to think about things on a larger timeline. And for me, ultimately, at the end of this, I think that President Trump is going to be looked upon as the greatest president that ever lived. I mean, like, the things that will have been achieved at the end of this are going to be things that people have probably convinced themselves were never going to be possible. And he doesn't need to impress anybody, all right? He just needs to, like I said, heard the cats and and and without me being behind that curtain knowing exactly what's happening i have to put a certain amount of faith in his ability and um you know it i we'll see okay we'll absolutely see but i feel real good about the last couple of weeks here yeah so i just got

chew out phil scler around the chat he called me negative and i disagree oh phil don't do it you're going to get you're going to get banned Phil. Oh, no, man, Phil. I'm just kidding. It's so stupid. We say this all the time. I feel like I have to say this all the time. I don't understand how people don't get it.

It's me talking about reality as it is, not as you want it to be or wish it to be in the future or think it might be in the future. It's like, this is how reality is right now. It's been 12 years. We haven't had justice or accountability for a lot of things. You hope that's coming. You don't know for sure it's coming. But me saying that we haven't gotten it yet is somehow me, be negative. Like, that is retarded. I'm sorry.

No. It's such a retarded take. The only, the only reason, like ultimately why I believe that we will get all of that exposed, we will get accountability, is because, again, if it doesn't happen, these, what the fuck just happened, dude? Oh, no. You streamed from the ceiling? What's that? What happened? Oh, I just tore a bunch of cables out from my, uh, oh. you take care of that yeah yeah let me do it's not my fault like that it is not my fault that

things i've taken this long and i know the excuse that justice it just takes time it has to be takes time to be done the right way and all these things i don't think that's necessarily true if anything like the the the left the i mean i talked about this to my show a little bit today they can get stuff moving without any actuals there like there's no they're there for half the shit that the deep state has done over the years and they're able to make progress through the courts and do all these things, you should realistically, I would think, be able to make much more progress, much quicker when you actually have the actuals to what you're saying. Like when you have the truth behind what you're saying.

But the reality is, there have been a lot of people embedded within Trump's administration and DOJ and all these things all along the way that have been stonewalling and stopping this stuff. And to a certain extent, that is out of our hands. And we don't know, we don't know if Digenova is going to be the guy to do it. But it's been 10 years without a single. actual piece of progress towards any of this rushing gate spygate stuff and i don't think it's me being negative to say that when it's reality it's it's me not living in delusional optimism to say like

oh maybe we'll get it someday yeah maybe that's true but i'm not just going to sit here after 10 years and and be happy about it that's retarded go to my room now okay john stop john is less positive since his devolution days Yeah, maybe. But I feel like people are just more retarded and into Hopium since my devolution days. John Humanity has not had justice or accountability for 6,000 years. We are lucky to be alive at this time. I do agree with that.

I think we have potential to witness some great history stuff, some awesome things. But it's also possible we don't get those. We can't predict the future. So anyway, no what I should have done while you were Donzac is read the sponsors of tonight show. Did you get your shit figured out, though? Yeah, I got it working. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm going to read our sponsors real quick.

Perfect. Perfect. First up, we got Native Path. This episode is brought to you by Native Path Antarctic krill oil, which is Omega 3s plus as to xanthin for heart, joints, and memory. 73 miles off the coast of Antarctica in water so clean, they're virtually untouched by human pollution. There's a tiny organism that researchers believe may be one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory

nutrients ever discovered. It's called krill. And today's sponsor is figured out how to get it to your door. If you've been taking fish oil for heart, joint, or memory support, here's something you need to know. Research shows fish oil is 50% less absorbable than krill oil. Because fish oils, omega-3s are in triglyceride form while krill oils are in phospholipid form, which is the same format your cell walls are made of. That means krill oil gets into your cells immediately. In head-to-head studies, krill oil outperformed fish oil at improving cholesterol, reducing inflammation, increasing inflammation and easing joint pain, often at lower doses. Native Path Antarctic Krill is sourced from pristine Antarctic waters,

contains the powerful antioxidant asazanthin, and comes in tiny soft gel so you don't get those fishy burps. Learn more and grab your Badlands special discount.

And then I want to make one more comment about my perceived negativity.

And then we can move on from talking about my perceived negativity. And everybody's talking about lean. Well, actually, sorry. Everybody's talking about those weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic. They work by lowering your blood sugar and reducing appetite. So what if you're looking to lose weight but not interested in painful weekly injections, especially when you hear about some of those intense side effects? That's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean.

and the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients in lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, burn fat, I can burn it into energy, and curb your appetite and craving so you're not as hungry. But listen, lean is not for the casual dieter with only a few pounds to lose. The doctors at Brickhouse Nutrition created lean for frustrated dieters with 10 or more pounds to lose. When you just started by with 20% off and free rush shipping, so you can add lean to your healthy diet and exercise plan. Visit takelein.com and enter code.

baseless for your discount. That's promo code baseless at take lean dot com. Alrighty. And yeah, you know, I figured we probably should just move on from the negativity. I was going to talk about our haters and not even worth it.

I will say one more note before we get into the show topics. The Minnesota Wilder playing right now and I am going to be following along on that game a little bit. And so if I start like cursing or celebrating like wild It's because something good or bad happened in that game.

Oh, man. Okay. All right. So I was, our plan was to kind of just continue to go through the Obama deadpool because there's, there's a bunch of different people that are connected directly to Obama, um, more akin to the sort of,

uh, uh, death list. And then, you know, there's a bunch of like strange deaths that kind of just tangentially occurred around Obama. But,

we got this, you know, news about John Brennan and it started making me, you know, think about him. And I, and I knew that one of the people on this list was connected to a pretty wild story about John Brennan. And we've talked about it here on the show before. And so I kind of wanted to do a little bit of a dive into the history of the relationship between Barack Obama and John Brennan. Because when he became director of the CIA in 2013, it wasn't like a net. natural fit. You know, I mean, we always talk about John Brennan, former director of the CIA, but he didn't always do that in Obama's administration. He started out in a different position altogether.

And I'm sure you've heard before that John Brennan was alleged to have converted to Islam at some point during his life. Well, it would have been likely when he was working in Saudi Arabia. I'll talk more about that in a moment when I get to it. But I want to go back to his youth back in his 20s. This is one of the reasons that a lot of people in the intelligence community did not specifically care for John Brennan and why he didn't really seem like a natural choice is because when he was in his 20s, in 1976, he was actually a member of the Communist Party.

He was like a card carrying communist. Like public. He was publicly a communist. He was publicly a communist. Jesus. He supported the Soviet Union. This is obviously the height of the Cold War. So, I mean, to be a supporter of the Soviet Union and a communist in the midst of the 1970s,

you know, that's definitely an odd choice. There was actually, I mean, we've got records of him voting for a candidate called Gus Hall. he was the communist candidate for president uh and jimmy carter was actually who won the presidency in that election but but john ridden for the communist candidate he voted for the commie he voted for gus hall so so then in that was in 1976 so then four years later 1979 1980 uh the soviet union invaded afghanistan and this was obviously right around the same time as the Iranian, you know, revolution in 1979 and the communist Soviet invasion of Afghanistan happens. And for some reason, probably because he was a communist

and I think he was trying to embed himself into the central intelligence agency, he becomes a CIA junior analyst. But because of the fact that he was a public card carrying members of the communist party, he never should have been accepted into the CIA. Like, who made that decision? Who was the director back then? Well, I think that might have been George H.W. Bush, to be honest with you. No, no. Well, shit, because at that point, like, you know, Reagan was running.

When did George H.W. Bush leave the CIA? Okay, so he left in 1977, who was CIA director, 1979? That was Stansfield Turner, okay? And he served until February 12th of 1981. Okay. All right. So for some reason, he becomes a junior analyst at the CIA. No intelligence agency in the United States or in,

in any Western country should have given him a spot because, I mean, that should have come up first on his background check. Yeah. Now, during his tenure at the CIA, he wasn't like super liked. He wasn't very well known. He didn't have like a lot of accolades or anything. But at some point, he ends up getting this very prestigious position as the chief of station in Saudi Arabia. spent a couple of years there in Saudi Arabia. And during that time, it's alleged that at the request of Bill Clinton and other Democrats, he was promoted to that position. So there is some obvious connection.

I haven't made it directly to Bill Clinton outside of this right here. But apparently John Brenna was really well liked by the Saudis when he got there. And they really thought that he was like a guy that, you know, they could work with and we could do a whole bunch. But it's also the time where he became allegedly converted to Islam. Now, what's said about that time is that, you know, he was so cozy with the Saudis that John Brennan's conversion to Islam was actually a counterintelligence operation against him to bring him into the fold so that they could then have a Muslim placed very highly inside the central intelligence agency. And this is actually coming from other central intelligence agency employees.

I've got some quotes. I'll pull those up a little bit later. Now, it's possible that maybe, you know, it started out as an op that he was perhaps running on the Saudis. Maybe he was trying to ingratiate himself to some greater degree, start. started agreeing to maybe do some studying or something like that. And maybe it was all in op. But if you take a look at his public comments, you know,

after that time when he was in Saudi Arabia, chief of station, I mean, he makes a lot of statements that make it sound as if he really is a devout Muslim. Doesn't actually say it, but he's got some weird stuff that he puts out there. And in his final year at the CIA,

He spent, nobody knows exactly why he left, but it's kind of like whitewashed. Like nobody has ever come out about it. Nobody's ever said it. He did spend some time, I guess, in the commercial world. And allegedly, the CIA kind of abandoned him. I don't think that he actually maintained his security clearance at the same level that he would, that other people might have. Like, you know, when he left the Obama administration and, you know, became a civilian again, he kept that highest level security clearance. And, you know, he has obviously used it.

But when he left the central intelligence agency, he went and worked for a company that he started, well, he was the CEO of it. It was called the Analysis Corporation. What, what did you resist? This was in 2005 to 2009. That was when he became the CEO of the Analysis Corporation. Now, this is where I'm going to jump back to the death that is connected to Obama. And the death that I am talking about is a young man, 24-year-old man in 2008 by the name of Lieutenant Quarles Harris, Jr. Now, Lieutenant Quarles, Harris, Jr. is notable and connected to Barack Obama because in March of 2008,

while John Brennan was running the Analysis Corporation, the State Department launched an investigation because there had been during the 2008 presidential election season and improper accessing of the passport records of Barack Osain Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain. Now, Barack Obama's passport records were accessed first, and then within three days, Hillary's and John McCain's were accessed as well. And it was kind of a mystery at first, but as soon as they realized it had happened, they were like, oh my goodness, you know, how could this be? Condoleezza Rice had to apologize publicly to all of them.

And ultimately, it turned out that it was a contract worker who was employed directly by John Brennan. No shit. Yes, yes. Now, what's even more interesting about it is that during Barack Obama's presidential campaign, John Brennan was working as an advisor to the Obama campaign unpaid as his sort of number one man on terrorism and counterterrorism, homeland security, on a number of different security related matter. A national security advisor type role. Sort of, but I mean, Obama wasn't president yet. So it was just this sort of informal position on the campaign advising Obama on these various things.

All right. So who was Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr.? Well, he was the only witness to the actual accessing of these passports. And he had been operating as a cooperating witness for federal investigators. That was until one month after these passports. port breaches happened he was found dead in his car outside of his church shot in the head so operating witnesses good things or they're kind of meaningless right well i mean they're only good if they get subpoenaed i i i don't think that uh i i don't know that quarrels harris lieutenant

quill's harris was publicly talking about this i mean like there was some scandal about you know the breach and you know why this might have happened um and we'll talk about that in a moment but Sure. But of course, I think that obviously he was killed because they didn't want him cooperating. All right. I don't think that these other people, certainly if they do end up dead, they're not going to end up dead because of the current administration. It would be maybe because of John Brennan and the Obama people. But I think that getting them in and having them testify as quickly as possible really is a calculated move to ensure that something like this does. doesn't happen to them. Sure.

So now what? It's 2026. That was April of 2008. So, you know, about almost 20 years now. Okay. And who do you think killed Lieutenant Quarles Harris Jr.? Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the skiff, in the hotel bathroom? Okay.

Well, I can tell you that nobody knows who killed him because the investigation went nowhere. of course of course they just dropped the ball natural causes yeah no yeah total natural causes it was lead poisoning to the brain so what's what's also strange about it is that like nobody was around and nobody actually saw it there were no witnesses to it uh there was a local police officer uh oh did i mention it was outside of his church so you just shot yeah he was shot outside of his church now Now, I don't know if there was like a service going on, which if there was, it would seem to me that perhaps other people would be around. But you know what it reminded me of?

It reminded me of Obama's other butt buddies who went to church with him and then ended up dead mysteriously. Of course, they died execution style in their homes, but they were all shot in the head, just like Lieutenant Carl, Carl's Harris Jr. Rebel Nader makes a good point in the chat. If we don't know who did it, we don't know that I'm wrong about it being Colonel Mustard. You don't. Yeah, you absolutely don't. Very well could be Colonel Mustard at this point. Great point, Rebel Nader.

Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. So he was shot in the head. He is dead. The reason that they found him is because a police officer who was like a beat cop in the area heard the shots and then called it in and they had shot spotter devices. And so the police were able to use those shot spotters to send the police officer.

to where he was. How do those work, by the way? Like, they, they guesstimate where the noise is originating from? Yes, yes. It's like the sound waves and they can like track it based upon that. Triangulate it. Triangulate, yes. Commander Anzalo, um, Michael Anzalo. He was the head of the police department's criminal investigations division. So he was the one who ultimately did the investigation and flog the investigation. But so anyways, they go and, uh, the, the police officers that, found him lieutenant harris was his name and um i'm sorry lieutenant harris is the guy that i'm talking about that uh that got shot so uh anzalo and his team they go there they find him he's dead and there's no witnesses they can't figure it out um but obviously they have to report that he was a cooperating

witness so the only thing that makes sense is that this guy was obviously assassinated now here's the here's the thing why would an employee of of John Brennan said it wasn't Harris that did it. It was two contractors working for the State Department actually employed by the analysis corporation. It was never explained exactly why they did it. They had to admit that they did because, of course, there's there's tracking on those sorts of things.

One person lost their job. One person was reprimanded. And obviously if you know, you're looking at. at the passports, you're going to see, like, you know, their name, their social security number, all of the different places that they've gone in their life. And, you know, you'll be able to tell a little bit about somebody as a result of it. So it's very strange that local police never bothered to really look into the murder every couple of years it would come up. People would ask about it. They would say, you know, have any leads been found on this? Nobody's.

found anything on it. And of course, you know, people working for the FBI, they never commented on what Lieutenant Harris might have told them and they never followed up any leads. So that's very strange because if he was a cooperating witness and he could have told them something. I mean, surely he would have done that already. So why didn't they actually go into it? But Lieutenant Harris told federal investigators before he was murdered that he personally, had received passport information from this this hack you know this unauthorized access from a co-conspirator of the person who actually access the information and that co-conspirator was an employee an actual employee of the u.s. state department so would have been an employee of the current administration which would have been the george w bush administration but they never got to the bottom of it never said anything about who that co-considly conspirator might have been, never a name, a gender, nothing like this. So personally, I think that the accessing of Clinton and McCain's passport files was a ruse. I think that ultimately it was

only Obama's passport that they were actually looking for. And once they looked at it, they probably realized, you know what, if we don't look at everybody's, then it's going to be really obvious that we're only trying to get Barack Obama's. So then they kind of spaced it out and they went and looked at it. And yeah, so I mean. Well, what do you think the reason for going after Obama's? I mean, if Obama was the key target, that's the one. Why did they go after Obama's?

Is it like some sort of leverage or blackmail of some sort? That's exactly what it is. Now, shortly after Barack Obama's passport, well, after it was announced that his passport and Hillary and McCain's passports had actually been accessed. Barack Obama publicly confesses for the very first time something that he had never said publicly, something that was never written in any of his personal memoirs and either of the two books he had published detailing his years growing up and his years in college. And that confession was that he took a trip to Pakistan in 1981. that he traveled to Pakistan while he was in college. And that's a really weird thing.

It's a very strange thing. And on its face, it's weird enough. But the fact that he never mentioned it, but then suddenly felt necessary to publicly proclaim it after it became a possibility that somebody might leak it to the press or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, very, very odd.

Now, I think everybody, what did he say his reason was? Oh, he didn't give it. Didn't give any. I just, I traveled to Pakistan when I was in college, 1981. That was it. What the heck. Yeah, yeah. And he never, you know, felt the need to express any more information about it or explain exactly what it was.

Now, the thing is, we've never seen his, his passport files. Nobody released it. And there's no contemporaneous information. there's no photographs, there's no letters to his mom or anything like that. There's nothing to really suggest that he actually did go to Pakistan in 1981. He's spent about three weeks there. Yeah, there we go. Even if he did go, though, John, it's, it was not normal for any American to go to Pakistan in 1981.

Not normal at all. I mean, you would have to have a reason to go. You would have to be approved both by the State Department and then also by the Pakistani authorities. So, you know, I don't know. There was actually an Indian counterterrorism expert that commented on this. And the Indians were obviously very interested because, you know, Barack Obama becomes president of the United States. Pakistan is like their number one foe. They're right next to each other.

And India and the United States have to maintain a good relationship. But this guy said, you know, I guess that for some reason, like his mother was brought into the equation. Like she was supposed to have gone with him. Like it was a family trip, which makes it even stranger. But he said, why did he keep mom on his visit to Pakistan till this question was raised? As he disclosed all the details regarding his Pakistan visit, was it as innocuous as he made out to as it was made out to respond to the invitation of a Pakistani friend. or was there something more to it? As I read about Obama's visit to Pakistan in the 1980s,

I could not help thinking of dozens of things, of the Afghan jihad against communism, of the fascination of many Afro-Americans for jihad, or the visits of a stream of Afro-Americans to Pakistan to feel the greatness of jihad, of the fascination for Abdullah Azam. I don't know who Abdullah-Azam is, but what's interesting is that it kind of falls in line

with right about the exact same time, that John Brennan allegedly converted to Islam. And, you know, if John Brennan was in the CIA converts to Islam and already is helping to develop a young CIA cutout by the name of Barack Hussein Obama, who had previously gone by a number of other names, whose mother and father, grandfather, actually, also had ties to the CIA. this whole family is, you know, kind of like constructing this legend about themselves. Yeah. You know, was there some early type of mentoring that was going on? Between Brennan and Obama?

Between Brennan and Obama, yes. But just because they had perhaps an early working relationship and, okay, so let me. Is there any actual like proof or connection of that or is that purely speculative? No, that's purely speculation on my part. purely speculation on my part but but the reason that i think the reason i think that john brennan might want to have leverage on barraq obama uh is because number one he comes from the intelligence community right these people thrive on blackmail it's the currency of the of the political world uh john brennan even though we would have had knowledge might not necessarily have been able

to take physical evidence of it um now Barack Obama's passport, it might have had something else on it that he didn't want people to know. It might have had nothing to do with the Pakistani trip. And he just said the Pakistani trip because that's what he wanted people to focus on. Perhaps it had a different social security number on it than the social security number he was using as he was going by Barack Obama. If you'll remember the show that we did on Obama previously, the social security number that he gave publicly was actually the social security number. number of a much older white man who was born in Connecticut that you know somebody else's name anyways what was the you know they got access to the the passport was it ever released publicly no

was never released publicly never released publicly um but if john brennan is implanting himself into barraq obama's campaign let's say that they do have some prior connection that you know that's how got involved. Maybe they have some shared Muslim heritage. Barack Obama is a cutout that is operating within the CIA. John Brennan is an employee of the CIA, also a Muslim comfort. They're coming together. Brennan knows that he can help elevate Barack Obama. He also knows he has access to essentially a private intelligence company in the analysis corporation. And that when Barack Obama, if Barack Obama becomes president, John Brennan can make his way back into intelligence after he's likely being disgraced and forced out, essentially, left out in the cold.

He gets the leverage over Obama, but then he also has leverage on McCain, leverage on Hillary Clinton. Maybe he's hedging his bets. Or like I said before, maybe it's just that he wanted people to think that everybody was the target. But the one thing that I'm certain of is that John Brexie, and was leading an op because there's no way that these employees and because he didn't admit it like he didn't come out and say hey guys those were my people you know i mean that they they investigated far enough to determine that that's what was going on and then everything kind of just died down after that it's just crazy that they never they never got to the bottom of the passport thing and then two of their biggest witnesses are killed and they don't figure out any mode like obviously there's

motive, but they don't dig into any of that shit? Like, that's just, that's absurd. No, no, they didn't have any of it. But whoever got the passports, John Brennan, you know, I mean, they had, you know, again, his all passport applications. So that would also give, you know, any visas, any countries that they went to, every bit of travel that they ever did, his birth date, all biographical information, any passport renewal records, maybe citizenship, which is notable because it's Barack Obama,

any original birth certificate, you know, I think now you have to have a birth certificate if you're going to be getting a passport. Maybe not, you know, maybe it wasn't that way back then. But Obama used the passport breach as sort of a point of personal outrage, you know, talking about, you know, how the U.S. government was so inept and it was so easy for people's security and privacy to be violated. Totally agree with that, actually. Well, you know, I mean, but it was somebody, it was like the, the fox was in the henhouse. It wasn't that difficult, right? I mean, like, it was, it would have been difficult if it was somebody on the outside hacking

their way into the State Department and stealing it. But, I mean, it was just somebody at a State Department terminal. They were already there, you know. So, so, so he used it and, and somehow it was leveraged. I think that initially they tried to say that maybe it was like some. right wing, hacker or something like that. Like they were, I don't know,

trying to get bad information on people and maybe try to swing the election. That narrative didn't last very long because they were, you know, pretty quickly they found out that it was the analysis corporation. But at the end of the day, because it was John Brennan, I think that that would have given John Brennan the leverage that he needed to ensure that whatever happened, if Barack Obama became president, he would remain as part of his organization, basically.

Now, when Brennan came into Barack Obama's administration, like I said, he didn't immediately become the head of the CIA. That didn't happen until 2013. Wasn't he brought in as like counterterrorism or something? Yeah, the counterterrorisms are. But what he really was was the assassinations are. That was like he was the guy who essentially planned out the assassination plans, the, you know, extra legal types of maneuvering that the Obama administration did. So that included like the drone program, some like you're like, okay, they actually had like a kill meeting every week. Have you heard this before? No.

Okay. So John Brennan, as the assassinations are, led quite literally something called the, like the kill meeting, the kill group. Okay. Like it was John Brennan and a bunch of different other people from within the intelligence community, CIA and other organizations. And it was like a brainstorming session and they would sit down every week and they would be like, okay, who should we kill? Like who needs to die? And that included American citizens, people who had not. necessarily committed any crimes, but maybe we're just living outside of the United States and had some proximity maybe to perceptive, you know, terrorism or something like that. And this is, these are documented meetings? So I heard about this from John Kariaku, who was a former central intelligence agency figure

who left. I mean, what I can tell you is that he was essentially the assassinations are. I mean, he came in and... But it's John Kiriuraku or whatever. You can't trust a word that guy says. Well, I don't know that you can't trust anything that he says. I mean, like... He's been wrong about a lot.

Well, I haven't listened to everything that he said, but I'm... From what I understand, and I didn't hear that he was the assassinations are from John Kyriaku. But he was the counterterrorism chief. He basically, you know, gave the hit lists of who to go after. there was a lot of concern about John Brennan within the intelligence community in the White House, you know, people around Barack Obama, because the direction that Obama was taking was pretty, you know, it was almost as if, and this is one of the reasons why I think that Obama, it was always a CIA agent and was put into the presidency to essentially, you know, convert the nation into, ultimately, ultimately rule by the Central Intelligence Agency. Because when he came into office, he started changing things around a lot.

And that included major use of special forces, which were still being controlled by CIA at that time, to go out into the world and to basically start doing like shadow operations, push military power of the United States. into areas that we hadn't been previously, like, you know, Syria, obviously. That started under Obama. Benghazi, yes, absolutely. You know, there were green berets. Barack Obama deployed green berets into 133 countries. Once he came into office, that's 70% of the world by 2014. Okay.

So obviously, you know, that's, you know, some time into his presidency. But, I mean, it was a slow creep. of intelligence and paramilitary power. So when Obama became president, I believe Leon Panetta was the CIA agent, CIA director. I think they called it something different. It was like the directorate of CIA or something like that. But he and Panetta had a meeting.

And Obama, Leon Panetta said, you know, what can I get? And Obama said, you can get everything you want, anything you want. This was reported in the New York Times, okay? And it's basically in the time that the CIA has existed. I think that, you know, there's been a tumultuous relationship of, you know, the CIA trying to control the presidency, the presidency trying to get a handle on the CIA. And when Obama became the president, like the CIA and him, they got along just fine. There was no problems.

And their goals were aligned. Like they were clear that he was the CIA candidate. Exactly, exactly. And by the time that Brennan is made director of the CIA, he was not a officer in the CIA at that point. I mean, and he had been out since 2005, he was not the obvious choice. And he didn't get confirmed easily as well. At the time that he was nominated and he went through his Senate confirmation hearing, He actually got more no votes than any candidate prior to him.

He was not very popular and people did not like him because of the work he had done as the counterterrorisms are or, you know, assassinations are. He was confirmed 63 to 34 after a 13-hour filibuster. Yeah. Yeah. And when he was sworn in, do you know what he was sworn in on? um he was sworn it doesn't say here so a crown not a bible not a koran he was sworn in on a copy of the constitution but minus the bill of rights specifically asked for the bill of rights to not be included that i i find that to be interesting very strange very very strange yeah so so john excuse me uh john brennan john brennan john brennan as the counterterrorism He was the architect not only of the assassinations. He was also the architect of the extraordinary rendition program that was in place by the time Obama came in.

And John Brennan, I think ultimately his plan was to get back into the CIA and to have as much power as he possibly could. and he did that partially through the installation of Barack Obama. Another thing that happened under Barack Obama, which I think points directly to his CIA pedigree, is that Obama significantly boosted the funding for the National Endowment for Democracy, which we've talked about recently, President Trump tried to basically strip them of their ability to function. I don't even know where they're at right now in terms of funding,

or with how many people are working there. But the National Endowment for Democracy, you know, was a sort of a kickstart program for color revolutions. And, you know, it's not a good place to be. It's like a New World Order type organization. But while the Obamas were in power, he backed the coup in Ukraine. There was a coup in Honduras, moved military into Asia. also ramped up the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia, expanded military bases in Africa.

He helped to suppress evidence of CIA torture. That was definitely something. He was also the president to pursue, indict and try more journalists than any other president in history, all under the Espionage Act. He also stopped an investigation, a criminal investigation, into HSBC because they were caught to be laundering money by the CIA. There was the CIA bank from the 1980s that they got found out. They shut it down. They had to move on and they ended up moving over to HSBC. Obama shut that down.

there was spying on congressmen that Obama did. Dennis Kucinich was somebody who was publicly revealed to have been spied on by the Obama administration. We mentioned Libya, obviously the devastating overthrow of Gaddafi and the running of weapons through Libya, Benghazi, obviously, that was a huge part of that. But he Well, real quick, I'm just reading about him a little bit. And he was going to be the CIA director in 2008, but he was like, couldn't get two of skeletons in his closet. He withdrew his name because he couldn't get approved.

But then he was somehow approvable in 2013. Like, that's weird. Different people in power, maybe leverage gained over the course of those few years. Yeah, definitely. It's just funny how that works. Like somebody is unconfirmable at one point. and then they are put in later because now all of a sudden the same things they were unconfirmable for prior yeah they're not confirmable for like doesn't matter yeah i i would

love to know if the i never watched his confirmation hearings in 2013 um but it would be interesting to go back and see them and to see the things that they pressed him on yeah um obviously you know going after journalists obama significantly stepped up the pursuit of julian asange um but And he also, so there were also some CIA assets that were involved in some illegal stuff. You ever heard of the Rwandan genocide? I mean, it sounds familiar, but I'm not like. Rwanda is a country in Africa. Yeah, I mean, I know Rwanda is.

I'm just, I'm trying to think of the genocide. I don't know how I would have heard of it having to do with Brennan in any way. Well, Paul Kagame, who was a major, you know, leader in Rwanda. Wanda, he was actually a CIA asset. And so his, he was basically like, you know, allowed to remain in power because he was good for Obama's CIA. And he was shielded from any sort of prosecution, war crimes or, you know, global criminal organizations going after him because he was basically owned by the CIA. Also, he helped to wage proxy war in Yemen. They funded weapons sales to the UAE.

About $27 billion in weapons went to the UAE. It's funny because we're still dealing with the Houthis in Yemen today. And I think that's directly as a result of what Obama did. We're dealing with the cartels today. He was obviously involved in providing weapons. to the Mexican drug cartels under Operation Fast and Furious. So, you know, there was seemingly an upstep in enforcement of a drug interdiction, but, you know, actually was more like they just perpetuated a problem that was already

there. They helped to make it worse. You know, we mentioned Bagazzi, Christopher Stevens, his death. Operation Timber Sycamore. That was another huge one. under Obama. And Paul Kagami, like when he was in power in Rwanda,

he killed three heads of state, three different heads of state in Rwanda. And as part of the genocide, they had like open air burn pits of bodies. There were so many people that were killed in the Rwandan genocide

that they just piled their bodies up, poured gasoline on it, and set them on fire. It's crazy, you know, like to think, the reason everybody talks about John Brennan is because of the Russia gate, spy gate stuff. There's all these like awful skeletons in his closet that there are we going to get accountability and justice for that? Probably not.

But the one we're demanding accountability and justice for you could, you know, make the argument are like morally not as bad as this other shit, you know? Oh, yeah. I see your point. Definitely. Did you notice that Cash Patel seemed to say that, uh, almost let it slip that they had indicted prez he said we in debt we already indicted prez excuse me and then stopped himself and said uh no where's that clip i need to see that clip that

that was uh on the maria maria barteromo episode let me find it a little slip at the tongue i don't know if it was just a freudian slip or um which clip was that in i you know i mean i saw two of them online and one of them was a longer version of the first one yeah Maria Bart, oh, so give me a second, I'm going to find this. So he does say in like indictment though or something, right? Like what's the word I guess first? Yes. Hold on the right one.

Hold on the right interview here. Gotta be this one. Both process. I'm just gonna do a search of the transcript. Mm-hmm. I think I found it already. We already did indict former director Comey. He must have, this must be where the part.

It has to be. Yes, yes. Not taking this laying down. We did already. Dight former director Comey and that's going through the judicial. Interesting. That is interesting, right? We did already indict former director Comey and that's going through the judicial process.

But we all, yeah. All right. So another interesting thing and another death on the list connected to John Brennan and to Barack Obama is Michael Hastings. Do you remember Michael Hastings? No. I remember the name, but I don't remember anything about the guy. So Michael Hastings was the journalist who wrote the piece about General Stanley McChrystal in Afghanistan, which basically forced him to resign because the article made him look, you know, in that. That was definitely murdered, too, wasn't I?

Oh, he was totally murdered. So he was driving his cars, Mercedes in Los Angeles. And, okay, so there's so much to this story. We did a whole show on it, but long story short. Michael Hastings believed that he was, number one, under investigation by the FBI, that they were coming after him because of the work that he was doing, totally plausible because he made the Obama administration look terrible, believed that his car was being manipulated. It's already been shown that the technology exists that would allow for his car to be taken over. he was staying in the Hollywood Hills and you know there would always be like helicopter traffic but he started paying attention and every single time he would get home there would be just

massive amounts of helicopter traffic above his house and he became convinced that they were watching him and he sent like this like just like you know paranoid email out to a bunch of people before he actually died the night before his car exploded before it hit a palm tree. What? Yes, yes. His car exploded the night before? No, no, no. I'm saying I'm going before the car explosion. The night before, he went to a friend's house and he begged her to let him use her Volvo. He said, please, my car is not safe. I need to get out of town. He was trying to leave Los Angeles,

okay? And he was trying to slip away without having to drive his own car. But he didn't have any choice, really because this girl that he went to ask, she said, no, I'm sorry, there's a mechanical problem with it. I can't let you borrow it. And so he basically left, you know, kind of upset. He sent this email out to a bunch of different people stating that, you know, his car had been tampered. He was underwatched by the FBI and he felt safe. He, excuse me, he did not feel safe. He thought that, you know, something bad was going to happen to him. So on the day that he died, he, he, was, you know, speeding through Los Angeles. And there was a camera footage from like a red light camera showing him running a red light.

And there were some people who actually saw what happened. But his car was, I think it was going like 67 miles an hour. This is another thing. The media. Yeah. Oh, okay. So the media actually lied and said that he was going way faster than he was. And he runs through the red light.

and people saw his car explode before it hit the palm tree. Now, there was no, that's a big explosion. That now, you know, if you only see it from that angle and you weren't there, you would think, well, gosh, of course his car exploded. He slammed head first into that palm tree. But the explosion happened before the car hit the palm tree. It's really hard to tell. I hate how they have security cameras that are basically iPhone 2s.

Yeah, yeah. This is ridiculous. Now, the other thing is that there were no skid marks on the street from him hitting the brakes, which meant that his car was moving along at full speed. The only drugs that were found in a system was a small amount of alcohol and a small amount of amphetamines. they never specified whether it was like, you know, illegal amphetamines or, you know, like Adderall or, what's the other one? Meth. I mean, there's like, there's another prescription methamphetamine that they give people.

I'm sure somebody in the chat will know it. But anyways, there's, but, but anyway, they never specified what it was, what it might have been. and he was basically presented as some type of, you know, drug addled. It's not pseudophon. There's methamphetamine and THC. Okay, methadine. Oh, it is Adderall. I was thinking Adderall.

Ritalin is the other one. Oh, yeah. He hasn't THC in the system, though. So, yeah. Who doesn't, right? You know, I mean, he's living in Los Angeles. I don't. Speaking of that, maybe I'd be a little more positive.

Get high on 420, but I didn't today. That could be. That could be. get to smoke but um he had 12 ng l that's the how much uh tc in the system whatever that means 12 nanograms per milliliter that is that's that's not a lot it's not a lot but the the the autopsy determined that nothing none of that stuff in a system contributed to the actual crash itself shortly before he died he reached out to the lawyer for wiki lea. leaks and he had some information that he wanted to get to them.

He said that, you know, his, his life was in danger. A source had provided to him prior to his death a copy of an email from the Stratfor leaks, the president of Stratford, Fred Burton, and he was preparing to publish it or perhaps had already published it. his wife came forward at least jordan after his death and confirmed that the last article he was working on was an article about john bremen really because the last article he published was yes yes hold on where's it go ahead and pull it up i've i've got a copy of it but uh i don't i don't have easy quick oh it's called why democrats love to spy on americans yeah that was published on june 7th and he was killed on

June 18th, 2013. Yeah, yeah. So that was the last article he published, but the last article that he was writing was about John Brennan. Yeah, he had a couple email to colleagues saying he was working on a big story. And he needed to go off the radar that the FBI might interview said colleagues. WikiLeaks now hastings also contacted Jennifer Robinson, one of his lawyers, a few hours prior to the crash. Yep.

It's insane. Yeah. Now, the explosion of the car before he hit the palm tree was 100 feet away from the tree where the explosion actually occurred. And that was confirmed by forensics experts at the scene of the crime. There is no logical reason for his car to explode like that before it hit anything. I truly believe that Michael Hastings was assassinated. And, you know, whether it was only for the John Brennan story, because there's a lot of things that could be written about John Brennan, right? Or if it was the cumulative thorn in the side of the Obama administration that, you know, he was with, you know, the fact that, you know, he had already written the article about McChrystal.

He had already written two books about his time in Afghanistan. He had like a girlfriend that was killed in an ambush. You know, I mean, maybe he blamed, you know, the government should think, I don't know. Definitely had a file on him. Of course they did. They were investigating him at the time of his death. That wasn't paranoia. And yeah, and the fact that, you know, he got that Stratfor email, gave it to WikiLeaks, you know, was looking to perhaps do additional stuff with WikiLeaks.

the Obama administration's pursuit of journalists, I think that there's just like too many data points that suggest that Michael Hastings was 100% assassinated. That's crazy. I think John Brennan definitely had something to do with it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, okay, just to play skeptic, because that's my role in the show,

let's say you were a journalist and you wanted to make a bigger story and, like, controversy out of your death. Like, you would definitely go, let's say you knew you're going to commit suicide you would go to your friends be like hey i need to my somebody's tamper with my car and then immediately afterwards go and crash your car into a tree you know i think that's retarded i think you're really stretching there but i mean i understand what you're doing but i think that's just like the stretchiest stretch that you can go for i mean if he's

going to commit suicide why not just commit suicide like why create a mystique you're not even going to be around to see it because you already you already hated the obama administration all these people people and maybe you weren't getting the attention that you felt you deserved from your stories and you're like well if i can make it seem like they're the ones who killed me maybe that that'll finally get them though my my final act will be them you know being the ones who who murdered me by even though i did it myself my michael hastings was a legend john i mean he was a legend at the time that died this was a big shock he also wrote this article about beau burgdall which you know he he's severely criticized yeah he criticized the obama administration for uh

their deal to get Bo Bergdahl. And, yeah. Bull Bergdahl walked off his army base because he's disillusioned with the war. Yeah, yeah. I did not know this. I haven't heard the story. Then he was captured by the Taliban and he was there for a while. So like when the Obama administration made the deal to get Bergdahl back,

they like gave some of the worst of the worst Taliban people and traded them for Bo Bergdard. all and there were a lot of people who were like what what are you doing like why are you giving up these high value targets for a guy who just literally walked off base into the desert and like got captured by the Taliban yeah okay the Taliban five I have heard of this story yeah that's crazy they were hard the hardest of the hardcore yeah so I think if anybody hated anybody it was the Obama White House that hated Michael Hastings. I think they had a far more plausible reason to hate and want him dead. And I think that the Obama administration had already shown that they had absolutely no problems just killing people,

if that meant that they were going to get them out of their hair. Yeah, I'm just reading this Taliban 5 thing. That's crazy. Okay, so in the New Yorker, it was reported, this is separate from John Kiriaku, that John Brennan did in fact have kill meetings, and that included a kill list and something called a disposition matrix. It was a database that he had his people right for the tracking and killing of suspected enemies. both foreign and domestic. And he would oversee weekly top secret White House video conferences. They were called Terror Tuesdays or kill meetings.

And the top officials would put together nominees for drone strikes. And then they would essentially, I guess, agree on who they were going to kill. How do you spell Kiro Kai? Chiriaku, K-R-I-A-A-K-R-I-A-K. K-R-I-A-K-U, Kri-Yaku. I don't think that's right. Okay, well, it's something very close to that. Your computer should be able to figure it out.

I'll figure it out. Okay. But, but yeah, I mean, just the concept of the U.S. government, like, having this, you know, public weekly meeting where they just figure out, you know, who we're going to kill this week without any sort of. due process i mean it's so funny when they talk about due process nowadays the idea of you know people being given due process and it was the thing furthest from the minds of people inside the obama administration like you know these extrajudicial killings and john brennan already having a history with the extraordinary renditions and bringing people to black sites i mean the guy was evil he was satan incarnate yeah i'm i'm trying to remember there's like a couple specific things

that kiriaki had said it was like a month or two ago and they were just total bull and like they ended being so wrong and they were just clearly totally bullshit and like a narrative against trump and i'm trying to figure out what exactly they were he's so there's so much out here no no the the only thing that i've ever heard karyaku say about trump was that trump completely changed his mind about you know who he was and he's saying he's totally sold out to israel oh well i i i don't know i i i don't it's on alex jones all the time I'm like oh I don't I don't know I don't pay attention I don't keep up with that stuff yeah this guy I mean I don't I don't really trust anything this guy says he's former CIA

there's no such thing Zach I'm sorry I'm gonna be skeptical at anything and I'm totally fine with that however I am not I quoted Kyriaku for informing me of the kill meetings first of all but I just found a secondary source from 2011 okay uh which verifies the existence of these kill kill what's the secondary source I'm sorry 2013 uh the New Yorker and And it's an article called John Brennan's kill list. And it's probably starting Kirakou. What does John Brennan consider to be a legal framework within which the United States government can decide whom to torture or assassinate? Brennan, and this is because he was nominated for the CIA director position.

Brennan is President Obama's nominee for Director of Central Intelligence. The last time his name came up for the job after Obama won in 2008. He didn't get it because he seemed too close to the torture program perpetrated while he. he was a senior official at the CIA. If he has greater distance now, it's only because more time is passed, not because there's been any true accounting. If anything, we have slid into an odd state of complacency about torture in the Bush years, watching it in movies and wondering whether it worked, asking whether or who might be capable, or culpable, excuse me, Brennan, instead of answering hard questions about those years, became the president's counterterrorism advisor. That job includes many

duties. One of them is crafting the president's kill list. That's also pretty interesting as well. That it's not just John Brennan's kill list. It was also targets that were chosen directly by Barack Obama. And then they would go and decide, you know, who's going to be easiest for us to kill first. And then the ones we can't get to now, we'll put them in the disposition matrix. And we'll choose their disposition at a later date. Ridiculous. Yeah, yeah. I'm reading these stories now. Fucking John Brennan. He's a real piece of shit.

A real piece of shit. Yeah. Him and Obama are perfect for each other. And it's like he's super good at the like the nasty dirty work. But you go and I guess he is pretty good at that too, the rush gate thing. I was about to say he messed that up. To an extent he did because he got caught and he couldn't get away with it. And maybe he maybe TBD, right?

But TBD. It still was fairly. effective at the time. Anybody else that would have worked, Trump, he's a force, man. He is. He is. All right. So that's the conspiracy. Yeah, there's a good one.

I fucking hate John Brennan, man. This guy, I wanted to see this guy go down. So bad. We will, John. I believe we will. I. If John Brennan doesn't go down, then he's just going to rear his ugly head again in in another form. And it's not just him.

I mean, it's everybody else that Trump fails to bring down. And I think that as soon as President Trump leaves the White House, I mean, look what they did to him the first time around, okay? They tried to kill him twice, maybe even more than twice. They tried to bankrupt him. They tried to put him in prison for the rest of his life. They tried to take away his companies. They tried to destroy his reputation. They raided his house.

They went through his wife's underwear drawer, probably looked through Barron's private things, as well. Yeah, the thing about it, Zach, like, I know Trump doesn't want these people to get away with it. I know that. But Trump is not the one that is in there doing like the investigation, building up the case. Like, he's not the way. He is relying on other people and we don't know whether or not those people are, should be relied on. Like, we've been, we've seen time and time again, people who should have gotten to the bottom of this stuff and expose this stuff or prosecuted this stuff, end up either being very bad at their jobs or like not on Trump's team or our team or whatever. I think there's a third. I think there's a third route that you're not considering.

And that is, I've suggested this before, but, you know, these people had power over the government, John. I mean, it's not like they just left a Hansel and Gretel trail of breadcrumbs so that it was easy to figure out exactly what they did or what they did or when they did it. They made it very difficult and plenty of that stuff. I mean, you've talked about this with the Epstein files. They had time to delete things. All right. And I think that I believe that they have successfully been able to track down enough things.

And they are currently in the process of building the largest case of criminal conspiracy in the history of the United States government. That's not something that I think is going to happen. quickly. I know that, you know, let's just take a, you know, Sun Tzu, uh, point of view on this. All right. If, if people in Trump's base believe that nothing is happening, nothing is going to happen because it appears that there's just too much ineptitude, there's too much deep state pushback inside his government, I think that it's highly likely that many of the people who are, you know, cheering for this to not be successful, they probably, believe that as well. And I think that it's a safer bet to allow all of those people to believe that right up until the moment that they figure out that that's actually not the way that it is.

Because it makes them feel safer. It puts them at ease a little bit. I think it makes people sloppy. And I think that, you know, they look back at Trump's first term. They look back at the four years and they say, you know, geez, you know, even with all the stuff that we did, we weren't able to full. bring Trump down, but at least, you know, we were able to keep him in check. And that's really all they, they feel they need to do. Keep Trump in check so that once he's no longer president, they can just get back to business as usual. And you're absolutely correct. It's not only Trump, okay?

I say the same thing. I mean, he's got a group of people around him that, yeah, he has to rely on. He needs to put his own trust in and delegate responsibilities. but you know I think that a appearing week when you were strong could quite accurately be prescribed in this instance maybe that's a very optimistic and hopium way to look at it and guys I wrote the devolution series I believe there's something going on yada yada yada I can say it a million times and again to preface I've read all these things like there is a there they didn't have to go and dig up new stuff to find this stuff.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. We don't need to rehash us. We talked about the beginning of show. Hold on. TNTD says, son of a bitch, Zach, you're making me become a skeptic.

Like, John, how am I making you become a skeptic? Because you sound too optimistic. I don't think I'm too optimistic. I mean, I'm, I'm evaluating the overall tactics of President Trump.

I mean, I think it's, it's totally realistic. You know, I mean, like I'm trying to take a 40,000 foot view here realizing what needs to be achieved, what's happened up until this point, you know, what we've been waiting on. People are basically on the edge of their seat and I get it.

People have left the theater. People may have left the theater, but they don't, they're not going to be voting for Trump ever again. This is why I said at the beginning the show, it doesn't matter. At the end, if Trump is successful, then it doesn't matter that people shut out because they'll come back and they'll be like, you know what? okay i was wrong everything worked yeah i love it uh somebody in the chess is john doesn't play 5d chess let me tell you something nobody in the chat has ever actually played 5d chess i have me and my

me and my friends in junior high in high school we were freaking nerds we used to play halo we used play ping pong and we used to play all different sorts of chess like regular chess we do the 3d chess we've literally played 5d chess before i've literally done it i sucked at it i sucked at it it. I can never win once, but I have literally played it before. So F you. You don't even understand what it means when somebody's playing 5D chess or 4D chess or

Some people played 5D checkers. 3D chess, that's as far as I know. Yeah, I guess it's not even 5D, it was, it wouldn't have been 5D check. It was like the chess where there's literally like different levels.

I don't know what do you even call it. But it's like a regular chess board. It's broken up into different levels. And we had three people playing at once. There's a three-person version. Is it magnetic? Can you go underneath as well? Is it like an MC Escher type thing?

No, it was just normal. moving but on different levels it was confusing as fuck well we should we should make our own 5d chess and do that magnetic pieces magnetic so that you can go underneath and has i been done before i don't know i'm just i can see it in my head and wow i think we could do it i just think it's so funny people talk about that's 5d chess guys like you have i guarantee you have never played that in your life you've never played anything other than regular chess if you've even played that oh that's great you're assholes I love you guys I love it I'm here for it if you want more of my Himalayan bath salt my saltiness I think there's new case who said that about me today you can catch

me tomorrow 1 p.m. Eastern on the Bailey Herald all this is all you could ever ask for um a couple quick things. First of all, our next GART has been scheduled. It's been scheduled for a while, actually, but tickets are on sale for it. You can go to badlandsmedia.tv slash events. Click on the Deadwood picture here and you can get in-person tickets.

And this, if you've never been to Deadwood, guys, there is no better place. to like this is your vacation home like you got to come to a gart block off a whole week it's it's amazing if you can't it's it's i freaking love deadwood cannot wait for that conference so excited a couple boosts we got there's one out here i thought that you get to read but maybe not no that was last week okay we got plenty of rants though so let's do this okay okay um see peterson

Patterson. Patterson, I think I read this earlier. 421 says, hey guys, I saw the interview of Joe and Victoria from about a month ago. They said Joe was supposed to start from the beginning, but Pam Bond, he blocked it. There we go. That cock block. Maybe his application was just sitting on our desk. Well, I think that he also said that he was, maybe hinted that he was actually working in an unofficial capacity within the administration and sort of an advisory position,

just not an actual employee. I think they've never heard that. Now that he's actually being hired, it's, I think it's, it is weird to me that he was working with Firtash and Lev Parnas. Well, those guys initially had not turned on President Trump. I mean,

like they, you know, because they had been working with Rudy Giuliani, and everybody needs lawyers, right? You know, they already had a history of, you know,

um, yeah, but a lot of like, a lot of the dirty people, they use their lawyer. nefariously, you know, like, it's a different thing for us peons with lawyers. Like, when you get to the elite political realm, that's, that's like a different kind of relationship. Like, you know, just like, oh, I'm going to look up a lawyer in the, you know, I'm a deep state asset. I'm a, a Ukrainian,

oligarch, Russian oligarch, I'm in some trouble. I'm just going to go to the white pages and look up lawyer, DC lawyer. Like, that's not how that works. The deep state people, hired deep state lawyers, in my opinion. You know what I mean, Zach? Yeah, I feel what you mean. But I find it difficult to imagine that, I mean, after all of those years of like supporting President Trump, like so vigorously, you know, if they had suddenly become deep state and, you know, helping these guys in their deep state efforts to take down President Trump,

I mean, I don't think that they continued to represent them after they turned on President Trump. I mean, and I just, I just can't imagine that President Trump would allow him to be hired into this position if he felt that he wasn't trustworthy or had, you know, somebody with a grasp on the situation to, uh, to, to assist. Zach, come on now. I'm just saying. How many times have we talked about Trump's hires and we don't, we cannot, we do not know why Trump has hired people.

We don't know if he is the one who hired this person or allowed it. But also, and also the thing you said about, um, you know, turning on Trump, how many times have we seen people turn on Trump over the years? You know, I feel like it's been different in the second administration. I think it's been very different. Oh, so? What do you mean? Like, we haven't had the same, like, level of turnover and we haven't had the same, you know, types of people, like the turnover for in the administration for sure.

People, yeah, people come and go. But, I mean, like, that's also, I think, largely a symptom of the fact that Trump has to have these temporary people in these positions. He doesn't have the benefit of having people actually confirmed and then in these positions permanently. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Let's keep going. G. Fontes 1.19 was a conflict of interest, Pamela Bondi, former AG and not central casting. That's what we're here in.

Keith O'Higgins, John, anything deeper than Balls Deep is taint-tastic, which is close to Brown-Belling. Love that. C. Patterson 421, John, or Joe hinted he had been involved all along, but not officially. I wish I could remember who was interviewing him so I could find it again. I'll look into it. Keith O'Higgins, John, the saying is once you go black, you're just another single mother. You're killing it, Keith. Keith Higgins, FI, Obama birth certificate story was given to McClatchie Press in February 2008 around Iowa caucuses by Hillary Clinton campaign.

as our boy blue would say true story did not know that Zach O'Higgin says Zach wasn't Brennan responsible for the visa approval on the 9-11 Saudi hijackers and as station chief yes he was true yep Peyton poo for five dollars had to reset all my probably shit love y'all been a crazy been a week of crazy stuff we didn't put into Banka got a lurk while working on tech resets Yeah. Oversight's coming through, John. Unipanunabanka coming through. How so?

She wants to allow FISA in exchange for voter ID. I think that's fucking gay. I think that's a Kobayashi and Maru. I don't think I think that with either one of those connected to each other, neither of them will pass. And so she's kind of just like, you know, trying to force the thing. But what I'm talking about is that through her efforts on oversight, they were able to release the list of all members of the House who have had sexual assault

investigations by the Ethics Committee since like 1976. And they're also going to be releasing the list of all of the members of the House who had payouts to staff and to other people. You know, that's coming next. It's just, they're dropping it in shifts. Yeah, that's cool. That's something that I still can't believe they kept that hidden. But no, I'm, you guys know, I'm a little critical of Unipanuna.

Lucy the dog says, remember that the IRGC killed more than 30,000 of their own citizens just a couple of months ago. That's what I heard, but I've never seen the bodies. Yeah, ZBM, holy Tom cats, I'm late to the show. Sorry, I am distracted by my kids. And to think I could have just gotten puppies and put them in cozy crate out in the mud room with no judgment. J.K. Love y'all. Um, do you know, they know with your kids too? One of our viewers has a like nine kittens.

They've got a kitten cam. It's like Travis's kitten cam.com. What? It's, uh, are we live on YouTube? I don't want to say his name. He also known as chafed bum. He's a, uh, black gay man. He's a viewer of ours?

He's a viewer of ours. Yes. NF. How do you, um, oh yeah. I love that guy. I know, I love him too. I just don't want to say it on YouTube. Every time I say his name in the chat, like when I'm on my, on my show, I always go back to YouTube and I delete that like two seconds.

What's the website? I think it's Travis's kitten cam.com. And actually let me, let me try to punch it in because it's in my browser history. I'm not finding that. This is a weird thing to search anyway, but. You know, it's probably, it's not. index. Shit.

That's fine. Not a big deal. I'll find it. Yeah, I'm interested, but not that interested. Keith O. Higgins, Cash Patel's slip of his tongue means he can't hold his liquor, especially when motor-mouting

and motor-boating, Maria Barter Rumbos sweater poems. I feel like I needed to read that. I think I needed a cigarette after that. Todd v. Realtor for $5. Says, Optimist John is also a great actor sticking to the script of the show.

give him his opium dose Zach's stat. Let him go all the way black sack. He isn't. He isn't. That's the truth. My expectations are so tempered that I cannot black pill.

That's so done. All right. Hey, can I show you this real quick? Sure. Okay, go ahead. You have to take that down and then add this right there. These are NF's live kittens right there.

Oh, there's the mom. She's in there. Oh, that cool. Yeah. I think they're like, we adopted? I don't know. I don't know what his plans are.

I think there's actually like two different litters that are all being taken care of all at once. That's cool. Yeah. Very cute. Yeah. Very cute. Anarchist owl says, wait, does John live in L.A.? To answer that question, no, I don't.

Does he want to be friends with owl? Who toot, frisbee golf? I have played Frisbee golf before. I'm uh you know it's a little more challenging you think I thought going into it like I'm a baseball player I can throw this thing a mile and sometimes I can't brisbee golf sweet but no I live in North Dakota just a little bit of ways away from LA see Patterson 421 remember bright part's death right before he was going to release info on Obama absolutely yeah we just did the episode on that show yeah Todd v realtor Zach have guys done a show on Hawaii Department of Health Director that validated Obama's birth certificate died in a plane crash look up Trump's tweet about it would be a great show we just did that one too we did just do that one yeah yeah because we're doing a deaths connected to Obama so like go back through like the last month if you go on badlands media and I'm walking you through it here click playlists and then scroll

down to basis conspiracies we have a whole bunch of um we've got just a handful that don't have titles that accurately reflect what the show is about, we should probably go through that's a ways back. It is a ways back, yeah. Yeah, we just did body count. I think I don't remember which one of these. Yeah, I feel like we did

like a much bigger episode about it at one time in the past, but we just did kind of a recap on it because we're talking about a series of strange deaths connected to Obama. Yeah, good to see it, Todd. Keith O'Higgins, motor vehicle assassinations like Hastings and Hedche and even Tiger Woods are cheap compared to the aviation assassinations of Ron Brown, Kobe Bryant, and Iranian presidents. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

C. Patterson, 421. So Breitbart died of a massive heart attack on the way to check his mail or something. All one would need is a dose of KC. L. I think that's potassium chloride. Probably. Yeah. I am sure there are clandestine ways to deliver. Yeah, so he was actually leaving a wine bar where he had not had any signs of distress. And he had met a couple of people.

He left. He walked across the street, stepped upon the curb, and then dropped like a sack of potatoes. And the witness said that his face was like ghostly white and he had this strange red band around his forehead. It actually extended all the way around his skull. Yeah. Just did that show. The CBM, but you can't fish. John I get fish

I used to go on my ground was lake fish all the time or she's sold the cabin way back in the day bro screw 5G chess pack up your woman and a pack up your woman

in a good rod and reel stuff the cooler with beer and fried chicken and hit the river love you live the better life John yeah I do like fishing I just haven't done it in forever C Patterson

421 thanks guys great show as always I have to go to bed now glad to join you for live life for a change we were glad to have you Thanks for being here, homie. For a change. Let's go says, John, a chess board game is a better business adventure than tampons,

just saying that's where we disagree. They can both be great business ventures. You know, the thing about tampons is people have to keep buying them. Repeat customers. With a chess board, you just buy it once. Unless you come out with commemorative pieces every month or something like that. That's the thing chess boards like, the cost to make that, especially in a way that people would want to buy it

would be pretty high, right? And it would be pretty expensive. Your customer base would probably pretty small, but most women need tampons. You can make those pretty ineffective. We already have our labor. We have Cam, who's going to pick the cotton.

We have Cancon who's going to roll it for us. And all we just need to do is attach a string. Put it in some fancy packaging. Maybe splash a little cent on. I don't know if they come centered or not, but we're golden. You know what we could do. We could have Drake make us a custom wooden tampon travel holder. Yeah.

For like big money. Yeah, that's a great idea. Like, you know, kind of like a cigarette pack. It's like wide and you can fit six tampons in it. It's got like a wooden top that's kind of tight goes on. You pull it off and then there you go. You can keep it in your breast pocket. Yeah, I wonder if we can disguise it some way too.

So it doesn't, it's not like obvious that it's a tampon thing. You could engrave whatever you wanted on it. Yeah, like, my cigarettes. Yeah, yeah. Or something. I think there's an idea there. Yeah, we're definitely out of something. We're just going to keep flushing this out a little bit.

And, you know, maybe by Deadwood Guard or maybe Vegas Guard, we'll be unveiling this product for sure, bad ponds. It's coming, guys. You just wait. But anyway, Zach, as always, is a fun show. You'll be back on tomorrow, your channel at 5 p.m. That is correct, sir. Yeah, yeah.

I'll be back on here, right on balance media, the Daily Herald 1 p.m. Eastern. Do us a favor, hit that thumbs up. And with that, we will see you guys next time we see you.

Peace.
