The Trish Regan Show - BREAKING: MSM Was IN ON IT! Declassified JFK Files Prove Media COLLUDED with Govt to Hide TRUTH

Episode Date: March 24, 2025

The release of the JFK files is massive. Don’t believe the legacy media when they say there’s nothing there. There are 80,000+ pages to get through — but, one in particular, has caught Trish Reg...an’s eye. Meanwhile, have you heard of the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948? It was 'modernized' by Obama in 2012 and it's a major part of why you see so many media organizations floating a similar--highly simplistic--narrative. Declassifying these files goes a long way towards reestablishing the credibility of our institutions. It comes at an important time.

Starting point is 00:00:02 This is huge, okay? I cannot underscore what a massive, massive deal this is that we are finally getting the transparency that we deserve. What, 62 years later, ladies and gentlemen, I know the mainstream media wants you to think that there's nothing to see here in New York Times, suggesting that this is a nothing burger, this is not a nothing burger, and how dare they say that? Considering they're going to make their way through some 60,000-plus pages that have already been released. plus there's an additional 20-some-odd thousand pages coming today. Heck, you know, they're actually going to have to do a little reading for a change. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:00:42 Journalists not being spoon-fed. They're talking points. They're actually going to have to do their jobs. And that's exactly what we've been doing here on the Trish Regan Show. And we have one page out of thousands right now that we really, I feel, you need to pay attention to. So we're going to get to all that on this extremely important day. welcome to the program. It is good to have you here. Yes, the JFK files have been released. The media is trying to say, nothing there, nothing there, you know. You don't need to pay attention to this. It's just a nothing burger.
Starting point is 00:01:14 I was looking at the headlines coming in the New York Times last night, and they were sort of saying the same kind of thing. And it's like, guys, how can you say that you haven't read through all of it? It is going to take time. At 7 p.m. last night, we got 32,000 pages, 10.30 p.m. There was another drop of 31,000, 400 pages and what are we getting today? More. More. More. And Donald Trump has promised they're not going to overanalyze this. They're not actually going to spoon feed the talking points to the reporters. People are actually going to have to do their job, but they can because you know what? Every citizen in the world right now has access to this stuff. Think about that. Think about how amazing this is. They're all in the national archives. He promised this what happened
Starting point is 00:01:55 indeed. I've heard about him. What's the very interesting? It's going to be very interesting. Was there an executive summary and supplied to you as the president? No, I'm not doing summaries. You'll write your own summaries. It's many pages. Is it 80,000 pages? Approximately 80,000 pages. So it's a lot of stuff. And you'll make your own determination. And that's the way it should be. Honestly, that's what's changed. And in making our own determination, I think we've found some very interesting elements. Good to have you guys all here. Spirit-filled. Great see you back on the show. Appreciate your generosity.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yes, we have a lot of information to get through today. This is massive. This is just a huge dump, and I've been up all night reading, and I'm not gonna get through it, of course, all of it, but there's one page in particular I do wanna get to. Why on that in a moment? But first, just how amazing this is, Tulsi Gabbard, tweeting out today, President Trump is ushering
Starting point is 00:02:59 in a new era of maximum transparency today, for his direction, previously redacted, JFK assassination files are now being released to the public with no redactions. Promises made, promises kept, go to archives.gov, JFK. Wow. I mean, so here's the page. Here's the page that matters, you guys. This is what you want to pay attention to, and it has a little something to do with a gentleman by the name of Gary Underhill,
Starting point is 00:03:28 who was saying to some of his friends, very close friends, that he knew this was going to happen. So first of all, let's back up for a second. And then, by the way, he was found dead in his apartment like six months later, and it was allegedly a suicide, a bunch of shots to the back of the head. So that doesn't really add up. And we've got some new information related to who Gary Underhill was connected with that I want to walk you through. But let's just go back for a moment.
Starting point is 00:04:03 This has been previously reported out a little bit before. Here, for example, you're seeing a Newsweek report on Gary Underhill. People have talked about him. What's new I'm going to get to in this section is that he had some acquaintances that were concerning. I mean, concerning, especially now given what has come out about them. But anyway, Gary Underhill, his full name was John Garrett Underhill. He had worked in military intelligence during World War, two, before. becoming one of the CIA's sort of people, although he was not really one of the people,
Starting point is 00:04:38 right? So he was one of the unpeople, meaning that he performed for the release memo special assignments for the agency. And he also, interestingly worked as a photojournalist for Life magazine between 1938 and 1942. That's actually going to be important a little bit later in the program because I want to share with you some perspective on how that working as a photojournalist, et cetera, may have then influenced some of the other things that were happening during the 1960s, etc. But this is Gary Underhill, okay? And the reason he's kind of of importance right here is because he was on intimate terms with a number of high-ranking CIA officials. And he's the guy who basically attributed Kennedy's death to a CIA clique, which was carrying on a lucrative racket
Starting point is 00:05:27 in gun running, narcotics, another contraband and manipulating political intrigue to serve its own ends according to the memo. So basically what this is suggesting is somehow the CIA may have been running some kind of op that was making the mafia, you know, blush. Here's the memo. Okay, so this is the one that I think is really just interesting to focus in on. According to this, the day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry, late in the evening, late in the evening, evening he showed up at the home of friends in new jersey he was very agitated a small click within the CIA was responsible for the assassination he confided to these friends in new jersey and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country less than six months later underhill was
Starting point is 00:06:24 found shot to death in his washington apartment the coroner ruled it a suicide j garrett underhill had been an intelligence agent, as I just explained to you, during World War II, and was a recognized authority on limited warfare and small arms. A researcher and writer on military affairs, he was on a first-name basis with many of the top brass in the Pentagon. He was also on intimate terms with a number of high-ranking CIA officials. He was one of the agencies on people. This is, again, this is something that has been reported out before, who performed special assignments. At one time, he had been a friend of Samuel Cummings, remember that name, you guys, Samuel Cummings, of Inter-Armco, the arms broker that numbers among its customers, the CIA, and ironically Klein Sporting Goods of Chicago, from whence
Starting point is 00:07:17 the mail order, Karenko allegedly, was purchased by Oswald. Okay, why is Cummings? Now, a name I said you need to remember. This is connected back to, to, to, Gary, and what has come out now and what we're learning is that Samuel George Cummings operated that weapon company, Interarms, which Underhill believed was somehow associated with the murder. So he was saying that this was going to happen, and the CIA was going to do it, and he thought the interarms, which he had worked with, was actually going to be the company that did it. Well, Cummings actually was well known, right, at the time for operating this interarm. and Inter-Armco, armed dealerships that supplied the CIA with weapons.
Starting point is 00:08:08 However, now this memo is telling us something new, that Inter-Arms and Inter-Armco were initially owned by the CIA, which hired Cummings as a chief agent before he took over those companies. So again, now it's getting at maybe there was some kind of weapons gang going on, and maybe this weapons gang, which had been found out by JFK, was going to be exposed, and they wanted to prevent that. That's one of the theories. We're going to talk about some others, okay? Because, you know, I just got to say,
Starting point is 00:08:40 it's going to be a lot of reading, and it's going to take time. But these are some of the biggies, and this is what I want to highlight, because there's no way you should ever be saying that this is a nothing burger. This is massive. And if nothing else, what it's going to tell us
Starting point is 00:08:55 is that sometimes the cover-up, I mean, not that it could be worse than the crime, but it certainly led to a lot of speculation and a lot of distrust in the government for the last 60-some-odd years. right? Because they weren't willing to say the truth. Same exact thing happened with COVID. Oh, it never came from that wet lab. Forgive me, it never came from a lab in Wuhan, China. And they sat there with a straight face and tried to perpetuate that narrative. And you had everyone up until recently saying exactly that, that it somehow came from this
Starting point is 00:09:26 wet market, which made no sense. We knew they were doing the research on that particular virus in Wuhan, China, and by the way, we were funding it via these many tentacles and arms, USAID and all these other things, right, that we use and NGOs. We're going to get to all of that because this is common out. This is getting exposed. And so we covered something up. Maybe we covered up that we had a hand in it. Maybe we covered up that we knew Lee Harvey Oswald was a person of interest.
Starting point is 00:09:58 We knew he had gone down to Mexico City. We knew he had spent time in Russia. we knew he was married to his Soviet. We knew all of this stuff. We knew that he was effectively an enemy of capitalism and an enemy of the United States. And yet we sat on it and did nothing. And maybe they were trying to cover up that.
Starting point is 00:10:15 More on that in a moment. But again, back to Cummings. Here this memo states that the CIA did actually own this inter-arms before Cummings came into it and bought it in 1958. So the question is, was he somehow, was he somehow related to this assassination, again, going back to the really important memo, this is what Gary Underhill believed, and this is what he was telling his friends. And so how is it that the guy winds up with some 12 shots to the head, right?
Starting point is 00:10:51 And it's declared a suicide six months later. That's a really serious question that we need answers to. And, you know, maybe they are in these files. But I just get to say that sometimes when you try and cover things up like this for 60-some-odd years, you wind up with more problems. And I go back to the example of Wuhan, China. I go back to Anthony Fauci. I go back to the fact that I knew in February of 2020 through good sources connected to the State Department and China, et cetera,
Starting point is 00:11:27 that there was a lab in which. Wuhan, China, that it was believed this thing was released from. And they didn't think it was deliberate, but it was some kind of mistake. And then you weren't allowed to talk about it. And then one day a reporter, I think it was a Fox News reporter, maybe in May of 2020, asked President Trump that, and he said, yes, I've seen some intelligence, alluding to that. And the media went bonkers, absolutely positively bonkers, because you see, The media was basically one in one with Deep State, the CIA, the FBI, God knows that USAID. They were getting money over it, for goodness sakes, the New York Times, nearly $30 million.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And they suddenly, like, just attacked him and attacked that narrative, and it got totally shut down. So when you think about that, when you think about even the reality, that we knew that Matthew Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania was clearly an issue, and people were talking about it. Heck, you get people in the crowd that were pointing up at the guy on the roof, right? And nobody was moving. Nobody was doing anything. Maybe it was just pure incompetence.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Maybe these people just completely suck at their jobs, and they are trying to cover up for that after the fact, or maybe there's something else. You understand why people are left when you cover things up. asking questions, right, because they couldn't access to social media records, et cetera, that all got shut down, the body immediately cremated, et cetera, et cetera. And so there's some hallmarks there, whether you're looking at Wuhan,
Starting point is 00:13:11 whether you're looking at the assassination attempt on President Trump, or whether you're looking at the JFK assassination files, that caused you to ask more questions. And it's sometimes, you know, as I say, the cover-up, certainly in the case of the Wuhan virus, the cover-up was sort of worse, right? Like if they had just admitted this,
Starting point is 00:13:29 admitted the truth from the beginning and allowed everybody to report it out. But they wouldn't even allow you to talk about it. And that's an issue. Like that is, and so it's the same kind of thing that we're seeing right here. And what I want to get to you guys is actually something really important because the CIA has been doing this for years. And it got worse beginning in 2012. You see, they've had sort of the leeway, the financial ability to do all this all over the world since 1948. and then in 2012, Obama started termed this psychop, if you would, right?
Starting point is 00:14:04 The information stream on us here in the United States. And so that I find incredibly troubling and getting back to this idea that maybe sometimes the cover-up is actually the real problem, right? That's the issue that we need to be worried about, whether it be Butler, Pennsylvania, and we're left with a ton of questions because they won't give us any information, whether it be Wuhan, China. Again, we don't have the information, or heck, whether it's, you know, Hunter Biden's laptop and they're sitting there saying no, it's hardly, hardly, Hunter.
Starting point is 00:14:40 It's just the Russians and Rudy Giuliani, like their fault. No, it actually was Hunter Biden's laptop, which was being investigated by the FBI. So you've got to wonder, I mean, what was it that the, they were worried about back then. Maybe they were worried that if, in fact, it was the Cubans, we should have known that, right, because we did have a ton of intelligence on Lee Harvey Oswald. We knew that he had gone to Mexico City looking for a visa, for a Q, but we knew. There's a ton of stuff that we knew. We knew he had spent time in the USSR. We knew that he actually had connection and actually trained as like an arm'sman over there. We knew a lot. And, yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:26 Yet somehow this still happened. So is this an effort to cover up because our team looks like idiots? Or is it that maybe we knew this was coming and we just didn't do anything about it? So once again, we look like idiots. Maybe there was a desire to see this happen because of Samuel Cummings and what Gary Underhill were talking about? There's a lot of questions there. And were they worried that this was going to be World War III? If they came out and they told the public, you know, actually the Cubans are responsible for this and we missed it or the Russians are responsible for this and we missed it, did they think that we were going to have World War III on our hands?
Starting point is 00:16:07 It again reminds me of the Wuhan-China situation. Like, why couldn't you say that China screwed up, that it was the responsibility of the lab? It wasn't until November of 2020 when the Wall Street Journal reported out what so many of us were already hearing, but you couldn't get out there at the time, right? You would just get immediately shut down, that there had been some people that had fallen ill in November, December of 2019, in Wuhan, China that had worked at the lab. That was all information that should have been fed to the public immediately. And then finally the Wall Street Journal comes out within Biden sort of had nowhere to hide.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And then eventually you had this commission. And eventually the Department of Energy came out and said, oh, yeah, it came from Wuhan, China. And then you had the State Department coming out saying, yeah, it came from Wuhan China. Not the CIA. CIA held on for dear life. It wasn't until just recently that the CIA admitted, uh-huh, it came from Wuhan, China. So why is that? Why?
Starting point is 00:17:13 Why? Why were they trying to run some... run some psychop on us. Well, this is what they've done, right? This is what they've done for years. And it started not just with what happened. It had already been in effect, effectively since the 1940s. I have so much to bring you on this.
Starting point is 00:17:34 This is a huge day. I didn't get a lot of sleep. I'm doing a lot of reading. I'm sure you are too. And this is the way it needs to be, right? We actually have to be able to look at everything with clear eyes. and be able to know stuff. Quick shout out for one of our sponsors

Again, gold is one of those things to kind of have in really difficult times when you're not sure about inflation. You're not sure about the sort of overall trajectory of the world. I actually feel better, but yet simultaneously, I'm a little bit nervous. Somebody said to me this morning, you know, I wonder if the release of these files that Donald Trump was so adamant to get out, has anything to do with him sending a warning. Like, you know, you guys, like, it's all out in the open.
Starting point is 00:18:44 So if you try any funny business and you don't know what's going through his head about what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania still, but you know, you can suspect, right, what would be going through your head if that happened to you? What would be going through your wife's head? What would be going through your family's head? I think we know what he's worried about. And so this is his way of saying, yeah, you know, times are changing and we're going to get all this information out there. So be on alert. Think about this. They were trying to protect something.
Starting point is 00:19:14 the agencies, maybe they were trying to protect us from World War. Three, I'm not really entirely sure what it was, but I do know this. There was something that they put into place around 1948 called the Smith Month Act. And it came about during the Cold War because they wanted to control the flow of information. They realized how valuable information was. And of course, we had a leg up on everybody because as the United States of America, we had all this creativity and we were really great at tech. So we had radio.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And then, of course, TV and Hollywood, et cetera. And so we were able to basically put out our message all over the world to control the narrative. The U.S. government poured a ton of money and a ton of resources into this through this Smith-Munt Act. And they had Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, the UK was involved in this too. But here's the important thing. Here's the important thing. it did not allow that information to be turned back onto the U.S. And that's what has since changed.
Starting point is 00:20:22 So just think about that for a second. So any of the spin that they were pushing overseas, that spin was not actually pushed in the U.S. media. That was pushed by U.S. media funded entities overseas. They weren't turning it back on U.S. citizens. They had this kind of Chinese wall, pun intended, to not allow for that. Mike Bence, who used to be an official at the State Department,
Starting point is 00:20:45 and is now totally committed to this freedom of information, and it's sort of his massive platform. He was on Joe Rogan's show, and he just talked about this, and I think it's really, really important to think about this, because guess what, guys, it changed under Obama. It changed. In 2013 or 2012, okay? They came up with a modernization of this,
Starting point is 00:21:07 which lifted the domestic bank. on US government-produced media, they could then allow for these NGOs and USAID to be paying US media organizations who could then turn and manipulate the story to U.S. audiences. So then the U.S. gets sucked into this giant psychop, right? I mean, and that explains a lot, I think,
Starting point is 00:21:35 since 2013 and Donald Trump comes on the scene in 2016 and they put the whole thing into high gear with Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. And on it goes. All right, I want to go to Mike Benz because this is important. Remember, Mike Benz used to be an official of the State Department. Now he's devoted his career, his life, to making sure that everybody gets this information out. Listen to him here. This is important.
Starting point is 00:21:58 The Smith-Mont Act, 1948. Here's Mike. What was done then under Obama was the effective repeal of it. It was called the Smith Modernization Act. But the modernization got rid of the whole purpose of it, the firewall. Because at the time, the media and media control was seen as the linchpin crux of winning the Cold War, piping in pro-U.S. media influence. Because everything moved after World War II from kinetic warfare and military occupation.
Starting point is 00:22:35 We used to militarily occupy the Philippines, for example. example after we won the Spanish-American War. But that was banned under international law territorial acquisition by military force in 1948. So we had to win elections. And we had to influence the passage of laws in foreign countries by having an apparatus inside those countries that influenced the hearts and minds of people, which influenced who they voted for, which then determined the government. So you had to move towards political vassalage rather than military occupation. And what the Smithmont Act did is simultaneous with the creation of this in 1948. Congress recognized the Frankensteinian monster they were creating by authorizing a covert, permanent department of dirty tricks, and this is their phrase, not mine, to do this cloak and dagger, to infiltrate and co-op the universities, the unions, the media, the politicians, the judges, the whole swarm army, you know, what I have been calling for a long time, the USA Truman,
Starting point is 00:23:36 show because these people in these foreign countries have no idea how many how many the things they interact with that are effectively a movie set being constructed by the U.S. State Department and its sister influence. Okay. He's on to something, right? So we had to control the political situations overseas. So what do we do? We put in media operations to influence the culture, to be able to therefore influence who,
Starting point is 00:24:07 was being elected. And we had a lot of influence on this. The scary thing is that again, and we're going to get back to this in a second, we turned it on ourselves. Obama. Thank you very much, Obama. Man, 2013 National Defense Authorization Act lifted the domestic ban on U.S. government-produced media, allowing such content to be available to U.S. audiences at the time people were really concerned that basically this was going to turn into the propaganda machine that we had all over the world, coming back to bite us in the you know what, and sure enough, it did, it did. So here's more of Mike.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Credit to him and Joe for having him on, Joe Rogan, Mike Benz, talking about this issue. Listen. To make any media narrative go viral in any country on earth because of the suite of CIA proprietary media functions and its distribution network, especially when the U.S. had first mover advantage in radio and print. It's basically the U.S. and U.K. They were the only games in town, really, and having robust radio, film, TV, and print media. So Smith-Mund said, okay, you can do that abroad.
Starting point is 00:25:16 You can plant fake news stories in France. You can have propaganda blare into Africa or Western Europe or Central Asia, but that can't come home. You can't sigh up our own people with your propaganda organ abroad, Because the point of authorizing this is that we get cheaper gas, we get import export markets, you know, we get a high standard of living because if a foreign government doesn't want to give up its resources or allow a U.S. military base or allow joint partnerships or exports of goods or U.S. multinational corporations to operate there, then the American people suffer economically. So it was always designed to say, listen, you can do this dirty stuff abroad, but it can't come home.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Okay, so it couldn't come home, but sure enough, like, it did eventually. You know, I just wonder, when you think about all of this being in place, was there something that they were doing abroad, right? Some kind of, it's one of the theories out there that somehow the CIA was involved or looked the other way if the Cubans were involved or Russia, whatever, and there's evidence in there that we kind of, knew that JFK was a target, and yet we're looking the other way. And you also wonder what kind of operation they were doing overseas, since they were allowed to have this dirty bag of tricks,
Starting point is 00:26:47 their words, as Mike said, not ours, that they could put into play overseas. They just couldn't turn it on ourselves. And that's sort of where we are today now, because it's been turned and unleashed onto ourselves. Let's go to his explanation. This is one more little clip. I'm just got to show you because it's so important when we think about how we have been played and played and played over and over and over again. We're up against a much actually deeper, darker problem with this USAID scandal. And as people will see increasingly, the scandals that will break open at the Pentagon and the State Department, which is that we have a Smith-Munt problem for funding in operations. It's not just propaganda. The blob, our foreign policy establishment, can fund
Starting point is 00:27:33 groups that effectively work with prosecutors domestically, or that work at media, you know, dual, sort of dual use. We give them foreign grants to do media propaganda abroad, but they operate here, or social media censorship, to coerce foreign countries to pass foreign censorship laws that explicitly and are intended to attack U.S. social media companies in U.S. peer-to-peer speech. So we need that protection. If we're going to keep this function at all, we need a hard firewall and absolute grotesque penalties for any violation. Yes. Okay?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Yes. We absolutely do because what has happened? What has happened? I mean, it's like they say it's night and we say it's day and they're like, no, no, no, no, it's night. You know, up is down, down is up. And you're not ever given the truth. Joe Biden's biggest frustration with his administration was that he didn't control information enough. Think about that.
Starting point is 00:28:39 He did not control information enough. I'm like, buddy, for goodness sakes, you had the entire world, right, on speed dial for your parroting of talking points. I mean, there was this one the other day, right, where we saw the Democrats with their little talking points. It was crazy. There are three of them out at first. Remember this? I win. I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one.
Starting point is 00:29:04 That ain't true. That's what you just heard. Since day one. Of Donald Trump's presidency. Prices are not down. They're up. Inflation is getting worse. Not better.
Starting point is 00:29:12 The prices of gross. It was literally the same exact script. And then it was five? Seriously. I went. I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. That ain't true. That's what you just heard.
Starting point is 00:29:26 The state of Donned from the Donald President's prices are not down. They're up. inflation is getting worse. Inflation is getting worse. The prices of gross gas. It's not getting better. It's getting worse. Meanwhile,
Starting point is 00:29:39 Donald Trump has done nothing to lower costs for you. Instead, he's part of violent police evidence. He's part in violent criminals. He's letting me say. He's letting me say. But just one more time.
Starting point is 00:29:55 I won't even show you the next. They were like different iterations. One of my producers kept showing me, he was like, oh, my God, there's more, there's more, there's more. Okay, before you knew it, you had 22 Democrats with the exact same talking points, the exact same script. It's like the CIA op that we're talking about, right, that Mike Benz is saying, like they get a narrative and then they just push it out. But nowadays, people are smarter because they can immediately show you where it's coming from. In this case, well, we don't actually know who it's coming from, interestingly enough. But the Democrats are all saying the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I win, I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. You get my point. Okay, so now we're talking about the ability to take tax. to take taxpayer money and feed it to various arms of the CIA and any kind of ops now that are under the jurisdiction
Starting point is 00:31:07 of whoever's in charge. This is what Obama made happen. Okay? So 2013, they start putting this stuff. So it's only been around, you know, 12 years or so. But if you think about the craziness over the last 12 years and how we keep saying, but, but,
Starting point is 00:31:24 and they're like, nope, nope, shut it down, shut it down, shut it down. Now I think it's all coming out. And I think Mike is right when he says, you've got to have a firewall because otherwise you're using taxpayer funds to create propaganda, which is then being turned on us. And boy, are they angry.
Starting point is 00:31:46 They're so angry that this is getting exposed. Everything's getting exposed. I mean, they're so angry. that, you know, we know that a good percentage of the budget for the BBC, for example, comes from USAID, U.S. taxpayers. We know that the New York Times is getting millions of millions of dollars. We know that Politico during 2024 was getting $8.2 million, charging $10,000 per account that they were giving to government employees
Starting point is 00:32:21 that they said, you just had to have. You know, they try and disguise it along the way, okay, we're going to give you a Politico subscription for $10,000 a year. But what is this other than just manipulating, as Mike said, the media here and today, and now they can't really do it, and they don't know what to, they don't know what to think now. They're just going to say that this is because of Trump and he's somehow a dictator. I mean, think about what they were saying in the U.S. media. I would sometimes be like, you've got to be kidding me. listening to Morning Joe and the View and the Disney actors and the whole, whole lot of them, right?
Starting point is 00:33:02 They're on the payroll. I mean, effectively, what we've learned is that this particular act that Obama modernized allowed for money to be exchanged to bankroll, NGOs, political organizations, universities, so that they, could have an effect on the public opinion back here at home. And now it's all coming undone. So Hillary Clinton was out in Germany today and oh she's freaking out. She's totally, totally, totally, totally, totally freaking out. Why? Oh, the whole system is coming apart. So now she's going on the attack. Can I just say, like, you don't do that, right?
Starting point is 00:33:39 You're on international soil. First of all, what she's saying is ridiculous, but you certainly don't do that when you're going overseas. Let's watch this one together. It is horrifying. It is wrong. But nonetheless it's Hillary. There's no way. way to sugarcoat it. There's no way to explain it away. Autocracy is on the march, and we now have a government in the United States that has thrown in its lot with the autocrats, which has made a choice to support those who wage war, not peace, who has given enormous power. to the men who control the information flow in our world, who have all pledged allegiance to the continuation of algorithms
Starting point is 00:34:37 that not only addict us, but poison us with hatred and fear. So don't forget the whole idea of the modernization of that act was to somehow prevent those algorithms, right, from quote unquote taking over. This is what they use as their justification so that they can pour tons and tons and tons of money into all these other ventures
Starting point is 00:35:06 in order to influence not just public opinion around the world, but of course public opinion right here at home. So I think it's all related, guys. And what you're seeing today is Donald Trump coming forward with Tulsi Gabbard and so many others now that are doing this release, and they don't even have the talking points, right? Donald Trump's saying, no, you know, we don't have any executive summary.
Starting point is 00:35:30 That's up to you guys. Like, here it is. Go for it. It's all going to be out there. So, yes, the reporters actually have to do their jobs and they have to do the reading, which is why, yes, it was a late night for me. And an early morning for me is we tried to figure out what is of note here. But to me, just in my initial reaction, in addition to the memoir,
Starting point is 00:35:48 I just showed you from, you know, the under Gary Underhill situation, I just think it's really important to think about how they were trying to control the narrative, even back then. And sometimes when you try and control that, you actually destroy like all the trust, any trust you had, gone, absolutely positively gone. And what we've seen is that trust has been eroded because, yes, you did have Elon Musk. You can call them what, yeah, whatever you want to call him, Hillary, we had Elon Musk out there exposing all this. We know now.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I mean, hey, the BBC admitted it. that a big, giant portion of its funding came from this, quote-unquote, international charity, including USAID. We know that there was 34.3 million coming into Politico from all these different government agencies. Remember, Politico was the one that they placed that letter in, the 51X Spooks, that wanted you to know there was no way in HEWL that that laptop was anything other than Russian disinformation. they put the letter in Politico, of course, because, you know, it's a client. In New York Times, I was talking 30 earlier.
Starting point is 00:37:00 It's 50 million. You get the Associated Press getting 19.5 million in government contracts, including a $619,000 grant from the Department of State. And interestingly, what do you know? The funding spikes during an election year. Here's the graphic from Politico. Take a peak. I mean, 2024.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Look at all the money going in, for goodness sake. You mean to tell me we need that many $10,000 a year subscriptions to Politico? I don't think so. No, you didn't need that, okay? $10,000 a year, $236 subscriptions. No, we didn't need that. Reuters was getting money too. $9 million from the State Department, Department of Defense for active social engineering defense
Starting point is 00:37:49 and large-scale social deception. Okay, so you would say, oh, well, that's what we do, right? Like, that's the CIA in action. It's trying to influence worldwide opinion so we can have an effect on all these different governments, et cetera, better to do this, than wage war, except that we've now turned this, thank you very much, Obama, on to ourselves. This has now been unleashed onto the U.S. through the Modernization Act, the Smith Month Modernization Act of 2012.
Starting point is 00:38:23 So it lifted the domestic ban on U.S. government-produced media, allowing such content to be made available to American audiences. Supporters argued, you know what, this changed. We have to do it. We have to do it because, you know, how else are we going to control the rise of misinformation on the Internet? You can have foreigners producing stuff all of a sudden. It can be easily accessed, so we need to make sure we are putting,
Starting point is 00:38:49 our view out there to our people. Well, okay. But you see when you're the ones in office and you're trying to completely control, tightly control that narrative, it turns very quickly into propaganda. And when you lie and you lie and you lie some more, people say no thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:13 And that's exactly what happened in this election. There was a new study that just came out yesterday, in fact, by a Democrat-run data organization that showed if actually more Democrats had come out to vote, Donald Trump would have won by an even larger margin. Because people were so freaking sick of everything. You're supposed to welcome everybody in. You know, we don't really have a problem on the border. We just want to, you know, be one happy, open society.
Starting point is 00:39:44 And yet all these communities were being overwhelmed with growing violence and growing economic challenges. And it turns out, well, you know, if you actually had tried, you might have been able to shut that down, just like Donald Trump has. In a few months, it's dropped by 99,000. Again, go back to this last point by Mike Bens, who is making, you know, his entire passion right now, all about making sure truth comes out.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Here he is with Joe Rogan. We're up against a much actually deeper, darker problem with this USAID scandal, and as people will see increasingly, the scandals that will break open at the Pentagon and the State Department, which is that we have a Smith-Munt problem for funding and operations. It's not just propaganda. The blob, our foreign policy establishment, can fund groups that effectively work with prosecutors domestically or that work at media. dual, sort of dual use, we give them foreign grants to do media propaganda abroad, but they operate here. Or social media censorship to coerce foreign countries to pass foreign censorship laws that explicitly and are intended to attack U.S. social media companies and in U.S. peer-to-peer speech. So we need that protection. If we're going to keep this function at all, we need a hard firewall and absolute grotesque penalties for any violation.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Okay? That kind of feels like a no-brainer to me. And I think that this declassification of all the JFK files is the first step in the right direction to getting this transparency, which is so desperately needed. You can't really have a functioning society without some faith in the government. But when the government lies to you, over and over and over again, and they keep getting caught lying to you, you start to lose that faith. And so how do you restore that? You do things like what we're seeing today. You put it all out there and say, hey, you know what? We're not even going to give you an executive summary. We don't have our people from the CIA on speed dial spouting little talking points of the New York Times. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:42:02 We're just going to put it out there and let you guys run with it and you find what you can find because we are all about telling the truth. And that goes a long way, a really long way towards reestablishing the truth. the very trust and faith that you need in this government. In order for your institutions to succeed, you cannot sit there and lie to people. And they lied for 60-some-odd years. We still don't entirely know the truth. But go back to the major memo. Okay, what did Gary Underhill know? He knew something, and he told people, he told his friends, according to this memo, he told his friends in New Jersey, that he believed the CIA was responsible for this. And it all related back to Sam
Starting point is 00:42:51 Cummings, who was running a weapons group that JFK had found and, you know, suddenly Underhill winds up dead six months later. Well, was this just a coincidence? Or is it because they wanted to get rid of him? Again, I think sometimes the cover-up is the real problem here. It was either stupidity, could have been negligence, it could have been, you know, they didn't want anybody to hear about the foreigners that were attacking us because that would have led to World War III. But the effort that went into protecting everyone, that's what eventually was the undoing. And so we saw a lot of discouragement in the faith of the U.S. government and our institutions, and that has continued on and on
Starting point is 00:43:37 to the point where we now, today, ladies and gentlemen, have very little faith. in anything because of what we have seen transpire over the last eight to ten years and just coincidentally it goes with the modernization of the Smithmont Act which allowed for all of this money being poured into overseas organizations to influence opinion to then be turned right back on us think about that we got a lot more reading to do don't we quick reminder, 76 Research, where we're always telling you the truth and nothing but the truth.
