Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Deep Deception | Allen Jackson Now | August 26, 2025
  • Good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:18.408 --> 00:00:20.410
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:22.078
  • I'll be the first to admit that i had little idea
  • 00:00:22.078 --> 00:00:24.781
  • How deep the deep state really was.
  • 00:00:24.781 --> 00:00:27.450
  • But it's all seems to be coming together now.
  • 00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:30.053
  • That strange and wasteful spending at usaid.
  • 00:00:30.053 --> 00:00:33.723
  • The multiple examples of lawfare,
  • 00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:36.159
  • All of it pointed at president trump
  • 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:38.394
  • And the government run us global media office
  • 00:00:38.394 --> 00:00:41.631
  • That was built to spread the good news about democracy,
  • 00:00:41.631 --> 00:00:44.801
  • But turned into a taxpayer financed mouthpiece.
  • 00:00:44.801 --> 00:00:48.204
  • It became the voice of america for progressives.
  • 00:00:48.204 --> 00:00:51.741
  • Well,
  • 00:00:51.975 --> 00:00:53.042
  • The legacy media act surprised that president trump
  • 00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:54.611
  • Is trying to change that and a whole lot more.
  • 00:00:54.611 --> 00:00:57.313
  • But the people who should be most surprised are you.
  • 00:00:57.313 --> 00:00:59.749
  • And i listen to how tulsi gabbard explains what she's
  • 00:00:59.749 --> 00:01:03.486
  • Seen of the deep state.
  • 00:01:03.486 --> 00:01:05.255
  • There are deep state actors across the federal government.
  • 00:01:05.255 --> 00:01:07.690
  • These are dangerous people because they believe their views
  • 00:01:07.690 --> 00:01:11.461
  • And opinions supersede the united states constitution,
  • 00:01:11.461 --> 00:01:14.197
  • That they all swear an oath to uphold,
  • 00:01:14.197 --> 00:01:15.932
  • To support and defend,
  • 00:01:15.932 --> 00:01:17.700
  • And that their views and opinions supersede those, again
  • 00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.670
  • Who are elected by the american people,
  • 00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.006
  • Specifically the president of the united states.
  • 00:01:23.006 --> 00:01:26.342
  • Well, it sounds as bad as many people feared.
  • 00:01:26.342 --> 00:01:29.379
  • With us tonight, an investigative reporter
  • 00:01:29.379 --> 00:01:31.514
  • Who's had a clear window into the deep state.
  • 00:01:31.514 --> 00:01:34.117
  • Eric eggers is the vice president
  • 00:01:34.117 --> 00:01:35.919
  • Of the government accountability institute.
  • 00:01:35.919 --> 00:01:38.054
  • Welcome back. eric.
  • 00:01:38.054 --> 00:01:39.322
  • Allan, it's always great to see you and be with your audience.
  • 00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:42.825
  • Thanks for having me.
  • 00:01:42.825 --> 00:01:44.460
  • Well, let's begin with the simple fact
  • 00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:46.396
  • That the more we learned about the deep state,
  • 00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:48.164
  • The less we can count on any sort of truth
  • 00:01:48.164 --> 00:01:50.166
  • Coming from inside government.
  • 00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:52.135
  • What they told us about climate change was wrong.
  • 00:01:52.135 --> 00:01:54.804
  • Same thing with the covid vaccine.
  • 00:01:54.804 --> 00:01:57.040
  • Examples are everywhere.
  • 00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:58.675
  • And most recently we found out that even something
  • 00:01:58.675 --> 00:02:01.244
  • As simple as the monthly jobs report
  • 00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:03.613
  • Cannot be counted on to be accurate.
  • 00:02:03.613 --> 00:02:05.882
  • Eric, tell us what you're seeing.
  • 00:02:05.882 --> 00:02:09.385
  • Allan, i think that's quite perfectly as always,
  • 00:02:09.385 --> 00:02:12.522
  • Because the things that we are
  • 00:02:12.522 --> 00:02:13.823
  • Told often turn out to be the opposite of what's true.
  • 00:02:13.823 --> 00:02:17.794
  • Remember that we were told in 2024
  • 00:02:17.794 --> 00:02:21.030
  • That donald trump was the threat to democracy.
  • 00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:23.833
  • And we were told that by someone who was the nominee
  • 00:02:23.833 --> 00:02:26.803
  • For president, who received exactly zero votes
  • 00:02:26.803 --> 00:02:29.839
  • In the democratic primary process
  • 00:02:29.839 --> 00:02:31.341
  • Because they forced the most powerful man
  • 00:02:31.341 --> 00:02:33.142
  • In the world, joe biden,
  • 00:02:33.142 --> 00:02:34.410
  • To step down because the deep state
  • 00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:36.679
  • Thought that he was no longer a useful servant
  • 00:02:36.679 --> 00:02:40.583
  • In perpetuating their empire.
  • 00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:42.151
  • Donald trump is the ultimate threat to the deep state.
  • 00:02:42.151 --> 00:02:45.054
  • It's why they've done everything they can think of
  • 00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:47.757
  • To try to keep him out of power.
  • 00:02:47.757 --> 00:02:49.659
  • When he was president, the first time,
  • 00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:51.261
  • They impeached him twice.
  • 00:02:51.261 --> 00:02:53.129
  • They then fundamentally changed the rules of the election
  • 00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:56.165
  • In 2020.
  • 00:02:56.165 --> 00:02:57.233
  • And then that's another thing.
  • 00:02:57.233 --> 00:02:58.201
  • They told us that that was the safest
  • 00:02:58.201 --> 00:02:59.569
  • And most secure election in american history.
  • 00:02:59.569 --> 00:03:02.038
  • And then when anyone dared question it,
  • 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:03.740
  • They were shut down and deplatformed.
  • 00:03:03.740 --> 00:03:05.775
  • Then after donald trump was out of office,
  • 00:03:05.775 --> 00:03:08.278
  • That's through four different legal cases at him.
  • 00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:10.980
  • Then when those didn't work, he was attempted
  • 00:03:10.980 --> 00:03:13.416
  • To be assassinated two different times.
  • 00:03:13.416 --> 00:03:15.618
  • The deep state is very concerned,
  • 00:03:15.618 --> 00:03:17.654
  • And all you have to do is look at the lengths
  • 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.889
  • They're willing to go to to try
  • 00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:20.957
  • To stop donald trump from stopping them.
  • 00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:23.693
  • To show you just how much is at stake.
  • 00:03:23.693 --> 00:03:25.862
  • Well, it seems that there are
  • 00:03:26.496 --> 00:03:27.530
  • Very few government offices that are immune
  • 00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:29.766
  • From taking advantage of their inside access.
  • 00:03:29.766 --> 00:03:32.568
  • Last night, president trump fired
  • 00:03:32.568 --> 00:03:34.304
  • An official at the federal reserve
  • 00:03:34.304 --> 00:03:36.005
  • Following allegations that she committed
  • 00:03:36.005 --> 00:03:37.907
  • Mortgage fraud by claiming two homes as her primary residence.
  • 00:03:37.907 --> 00:03:42.078
  • Now, such a move would have given her access
  • 00:03:42.078 --> 00:03:44.013
  • To better loan terms,
  • 00:03:44.013 --> 00:03:45.682
  • Which is particularly interesting
  • 00:03:45.682 --> 00:03:47.250
  • In this case
  • 00:03:47.250 --> 00:03:47.850
  • Because at the fed,
  • 00:03:47.850 --> 00:03:49.085
  • She's part of the team that sets overall interest rates.
  • 00:03:49.085 --> 00:03:52.088
  • Eric, the officer says she will not resign.
  • 00:03:52.088 --> 00:03:55.425
  • How do you think this will end up?
  • 00:03:55.425 --> 00:03:57.860
  • Oh is claiming two homes at a primary residence, not oakland?
  • 00:03:57.860 --> 00:04:01.831
  • Is the primary only mean one thing?
  • 00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:05.168
  • Yeah. of course. this is terrible.
  • 00:04:05.168 --> 00:04:07.170
  • And this is a part of much larger,
  • 00:04:07.170 --> 00:04:09.639
  • Effort
  • 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:10.006
  • Donald trump
  • 00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:10.873
  • Is having to be able to, i think, fight
  • 00:04:10.873 --> 00:04:12.408
  • On behalf of regular americans
  • 00:04:12.408 --> 00:04:14.344
  • And lower interest rates,
  • 00:04:14.344 --> 00:04:15.645
  • Which the fed has been hesitant to do.
  • 00:04:15.645 --> 00:04:18.181
  • If he's able to successfully remove this governor,
  • 00:04:18.181 --> 00:04:21.451
  • He has to be able to do so for cause.
  • 00:04:21.451 --> 00:04:23.820
  • So i believe her
  • 00:04:23.820 --> 00:04:24.787
  • Term was going to last another ten years, so
  • 00:04:24.787 --> 00:04:26.756
  • This would be a really big deal.
  • 00:04:26.756 --> 00:04:28.524
  • Unfortunately, though, alan, you know,
  • 00:04:28.524 --> 00:04:30.360
  • This is just business as usual in washington, d.c.
  • 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.329
  • This is another reason
  • 00:04:33.329 --> 00:04:34.230
  • Why donald trump poses such a threat,
  • 00:04:34.230 --> 00:04:35.832
  • Because he is the opposite of business as usual.
  • 00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:38.835
  • Washington, dc is one of the wealthiest areas in the country.
  • 00:04:38.835 --> 00:04:42.138
  • 6 or 7 out of the ten
  • 00:04:42.138 --> 00:04:44.340
  • Wealthiest counties in the country surround washington, dc,
  • 00:04:44.340 --> 00:04:48.277
  • Despite the fact that they produce nothing.
  • 00:04:48.277 --> 00:04:49.879
  • It's not like silicon valley
  • 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.047
  • Or the oil fields or anything like that.
  • 00:04:51.047 --> 00:04:53.583
  • Money is so rampant there.
  • 00:04:53.583 --> 00:04:55.084
  • It's because they play by their own set of rules.
  • 00:04:55.084 --> 00:04:57.019
  • Adam schiff, senator
  • 00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.321
  • From california, is another one who's run into,
  • 00:04:58.321 --> 00:05:01.391
  • Allegations of mortgage fraud for exactly the same issue.
  • 00:05:01.391 --> 00:05:04.627
  • And like this, governor, he also appears guilty.
  • 00:05:04.627 --> 00:05:06.929
  • So unfortunately, the washington, dc
  • 00:05:06.929 --> 00:05:10.066
  • And the people who we pay with our tax dollars
  • 00:05:10.066 --> 00:05:12.602
  • Have a rules for the not for me mentality.
  • 00:05:12.602 --> 00:05:16.406
  • And it leads to behaviors and decisions like this.
  • 00:05:16.406 --> 00:05:18.908
  • It's quite sad.
  • 00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:19.976
  • Well, you recently reported on the insider
  • 00:05:20.843 --> 00:05:23.045
  • Trading bill that's before congress.
  • 00:05:23.045 --> 00:05:25.214
  • What stood out to me was your report
  • 00:05:25.214 --> 00:05:26.883
  • That while the former
  • 00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:27.817
  • Speaker, nancy pelosi, has always insisted
  • 00:05:27.817 --> 00:05:30.386
  • That her husband did all the family stock trading,
  • 00:05:30.386 --> 00:05:33.022
  • She and her husband saw their investments rise 745%.
  • 00:05:33.022 --> 00:05:37.293
  • Well, the s&p
  • 00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:38.828
  • Average rose only a third as much in the same period.
  • 00:05:38.828 --> 00:05:41.697
  • Do you think that she's supporting this new bill
  • 00:05:41.697 --> 00:05:43.199
  • Just to cover her tracks?
  • 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.334
  • What i think, allen, is that
  • 00:05:45.334 --> 00:05:46.536
  • You and i are in the wrong line of work.
  • 00:05:46.536 --> 00:05:48.337
  • We should have been in the nancy
  • 00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:49.439
  • Pelosi's stock trading business,
  • 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.040
  • Because business has been very good for the pelosi's.
  • 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.544
  • When the first effort to stop members of congress
  • 00:05:54.544 --> 00:05:57.947
  • From trading on insider knowledge,
  • 00:05:57.947 --> 00:05:59.415
  • It's called the stock act, was passed in 2012.
  • 00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:02.385
  • Nancy pelosi had a net worth of $120 million.
  • 00:06:02.385 --> 00:06:05.688
  • Since her portfolio is has, you noted, has outperformed
  • 00:06:05.688 --> 00:06:08.591
  • The market to such a degree,
  • 00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:09.992
  • She now has a net worth of $260 million.
  • 00:06:09.992 --> 00:06:13.529
  • So maybe they've decided they've made enough money
  • 00:06:13.529 --> 00:06:16.466
  • And they don't need to be able
  • 00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:17.767
  • To trade on inside access anymore.
  • 00:06:17.767 --> 00:06:19.869
  • But once again, unfortunately, nancy pelosi is hardly unique.
  • 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:23.306
  • She might be the best.
  • 00:06:23.306 --> 00:06:24.607
  • And i
  • 00:06:24.607 --> 00:06:25.541
  • Like to joke that if she's going to support
  • 00:06:25.541 --> 00:06:26.843
  • Legislation that would ban members of
  • 00:06:26.843 --> 00:06:28.644
  • Congress from buying or selling stock,
  • 00:06:28.644 --> 00:06:30.480
  • It's kind of like michael jordan retiring.
  • 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.281
  • She is the goat of trading stocks as a member of congress.
  • 00:06:32.281 --> 00:06:35.518
  • But it's been a very busy year
  • 00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:37.753
  • For congressional stock purchases.
  • 00:06:37.753 --> 00:06:39.522
  • Last year,
  • 00:06:39.522 --> 00:06:40.656
  • They set a record with, i believe, 9000 trades of stock.
  • 00:06:40.656 --> 00:06:43.860
  • This year through july, they're already at 7400.
  • 00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:47.230
  • One member of congress, ro khanna,
  • 00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:49.332
  • His family has bought and sold stock over 2000 times.
  • 00:06:49.332 --> 00:06:52.768
  • So it's profoundly obscene the way these members
  • 00:06:52.768 --> 00:06:55.972
  • Of congress are doing this.
  • 00:06:55.972 --> 00:06:56.939
  • And the irony is back to the original point.
  • 00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:59.108
  • Many of the people that are doing
  • 00:06:59.108 --> 00:07:00.443
  • This, allan, have campaigned and said they support the ban.
  • 00:07:00.443 --> 00:07:03.646
  • So they say
  • 00:07:03.646 --> 00:07:04.981
  • They want to get rid of the practice,
  • 00:07:04.981 --> 00:07:06.182
  • But they are the most prolific practitioners of it themselves.
  • 00:07:06.182 --> 00:07:09.752
  • It's ironic and hypocritical and wrong.
  • 00:07:09.752 --> 00:07:12.288
  • Unbelievable.
  • 00:07:12.288 --> 00:07:13.656
  • Well, i've got a question about the extraordinary
  • 00:07:13.656 --> 00:07:15.458
  • Lawfare attacks on the president.
  • 00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:17.460
  • A new york appeals court has tossed out the $500 million
  • 00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:21.230
  • Fine that trump had hanging over him, following
  • 00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:24.267
  • Attorney general
  • 00:07:24.267 --> 00:07:25.368
  • Letitia james politically biased case against him.
  • 00:07:25.368 --> 00:07:28.404
  • She bragged about trying to take down mr.
  • 00:07:28.404 --> 00:07:30.506
  • Trump when he was running.
  • 00:07:30.506 --> 00:07:31.908
  • Do you think this outcome will mean fewer cases like this,
  • 00:07:31.908 --> 00:07:34.977
  • Or will the letitia james type of operators
  • 00:07:34.977 --> 00:07:37.446
  • Just try to double down on their attacks?
  • 00:07:37.446 --> 00:07:39.415
  • It's interesting, alan, because donald trump
  • 00:07:40.349 --> 00:07:42.618
  • Appears to be right now riding a wave of momentum.
  • 00:07:42.618 --> 00:07:45.821
  • And i think it's just because he's doing the right thing.
  • 00:07:45.821 --> 00:07:48.190
  • It's like when he's putting troops in washington dc.
  • 00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:51.160
  • Some people initially kind of
  • 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.395
  • Want to push back, but then they're like, oh, wait.
  • 00:07:52.395 --> 00:07:54.030
  • Washington dc has a murder rate that's higher than bogota
  • 00:07:54.030 --> 00:07:56.866
  • And islamabad, and it's 500% of like the average,
  • 00:07:56.866 --> 00:08:00.169
  • Murder rate across the country.
  • 00:08:00.169 --> 00:08:01.470
  • So maybe we shouldn't be against protecting lives.
  • 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:04.807
  • So i think that when you do things like stand up
  • 00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:07.810
  • On the right side of issues,
  • 00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:09.045
  • You do essentially become immune from these attacks.
  • 00:08:09.045 --> 00:08:11.881
  • Letitia james is is troubling, but i think it's about
  • 00:08:11.881 --> 00:08:14.550
  • The larger issue.
  • 00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:15.518
  • We talked about these four different charges
  • 00:08:15.518 --> 00:08:17.053
  • They brought against donald trump
  • 00:08:17.053 --> 00:08:18.421
  • When he was out of office, in an attempt
  • 00:08:18.421 --> 00:08:20.022
  • To keep him from regaining the seat.
  • 00:08:20.022 --> 00:08:22.358
  • I remember alan, and i couldn't believe this.
  • 00:08:22.358 --> 00:08:24.260
  • And one of the other people who brought
  • 00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:25.461
  • Charges, fani willis, the prosecutor out of atlanta,
  • 00:08:25.461 --> 00:08:28.831
  • Walked the red carpet like in a gown
  • 00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:31.634
  • At the white house press correspondents dinner.
  • 00:08:31.634 --> 00:08:33.836
  • And i thought, look at this.
  • 00:08:33.836 --> 00:08:35.071
  • This is someone whose job it is to be a neutral prosecutor.
  • 00:08:35.071 --> 00:08:38.474
  • It's supposed to be apolitical,
  • 00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:40.109
  • And she's being celebrated at an event
  • 00:08:40.109 --> 00:08:42.211
  • On behalf of this person's political opponent.
  • 00:08:42.211 --> 00:08:45.081
  • That and she's being celebrated essentially for prosecuting
  • 00:08:45.081 --> 00:08:48.217
  • This person to try to keep him from regaining the seat.
  • 00:08:48.217 --> 00:08:51.287
  • So, that's just another example of the way the deep state
  • 00:08:51.287 --> 00:08:54.523
  • Reaches all aspects of the media and political establishment
  • 00:08:54.523 --> 00:08:58.060
  • In washington, d.c., and it's even more remarkable
  • 00:08:58.060 --> 00:09:01.063
  • That donald trump has been able to rise above it.
  • 00:09:01.063 --> 00:09:02.865
  • Well, eric, we need to take a short break.
  • 00:09:03.733 --> 00:09:05.735
  • The deep state looks like an endless tunnel.
  • 00:09:05.735 --> 00:09:08.137
  • And i've got more questions for you later.
  • 00:09:08.137 --> 00:09:11.107
  • We're going to get out to your emails.
  • 00:09:11.107 --> 00:09:12.842
  • The inbox is full.
  • 00:09:12.842 --> 00:09:14.410
  • I'll be back in just a moment.
  • 00:09:14.410 --> 00:09:22.005
  • I'll be back in just a moment.
  • 00:09:22.005 --> 00:09:27.191
  • We're back now
  • 00:09:27.525 --> 00:09:28.793
  • With the co-host of the drill down podcast, the vice president
  • 00:09:28.793 --> 00:09:31.863
  • Of the government accountability institute, eric eggers.
  • 00:09:31.863 --> 00:09:35.466
  • Congress is looking hard at the biden white house,
  • 00:09:35.466 --> 00:09:38.169
  • And not just at the wide use of the auto signature machine,
  • 00:09:38.169 --> 00:09:41.239
  • But the larger issue of who is actually running the place.
  • 00:09:41.239 --> 00:09:44.742
  • Clearly, there's a need to get to the bottom of this, as
  • 00:09:44.742 --> 00:09:47.478
  • Was recently explained by columnist miranda devine.
  • 00:09:47.478 --> 00:09:50.648
  • Joe biden was in no fit state,
  • 00:09:51.249 --> 00:09:54.519
  • But continued the charade that he was.
  • 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.322
  • And we're talking about matters of life and death, of peace
  • 00:09:58.322 --> 00:10:02.460
  • And war and, you know, just the ukraine war,
  • 00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:06.664
  • The incompetence with which that presidency,
  • 00:10:06.664 --> 00:10:10.702
  • Carried out its duties, tells you
  • 00:10:10.702 --> 00:10:13.504
  • That this is an important issue that we need to know
  • 00:10:13.504 --> 00:10:16.774
  • Because we must make sure it never happens again.
  • 00:10:16.774 --> 00:10:21.212
  • Well, eric, i
  • 00:10:21.579 --> 00:10:22.246
  • Assume you agree with that.
  • 00:10:22.246 --> 00:10:25.249
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:10:25.249 --> 00:10:26.417
  • And i think there's a lot of things that the media meant
  • 00:10:26.417 --> 00:10:29.620
  • When it came to the joe biden presidency.
  • 00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:31.456
  • And obviously,
  • 00:10:31.456 --> 00:10:32.557
  • The fact that he pretended to be, cognitively able.
  • 00:10:32.557 --> 00:10:35.593
  • And we were told
  • 00:10:35.593 --> 00:10:36.828
  • Back to the theme of you're told the opposite of what's true.
  • 00:10:36.828 --> 00:10:39.430
  • We were told that joe biden was never better,
  • 00:10:39.430 --> 00:10:41.766
  • That he's, you know, doing sudoku and, cold fusion physics
  • 00:10:41.766 --> 00:10:45.470
  • Problems in his off
  • 00:10:45.470 --> 00:10:46.370
  • Time, when in fact, i think he
  • 00:10:46.370 --> 00:10:48.272
  • They were calling a lid on his day
  • 00:10:48.272 --> 00:10:50.441
  • Early in the afternoon.
  • 00:10:50.441 --> 00:10:51.509
  • He's going to bed by 4:00.
  • 00:10:51.509 --> 00:10:53.411
  • And, you know,
  • 00:10:53.411 --> 00:10:54.112
  • The man clearly had suffered
  • 00:10:54.112 --> 00:10:55.613
  • From a significant cognitive decline.
  • 00:10:55.613 --> 00:10:57.381
  • So the media was was not curious about that.
  • 00:10:57.381 --> 00:10:59.951
  • They were also not
  • 00:10:59.951 --> 00:11:00.918
  • Curious about who was really
  • 00:11:00.918 --> 00:11:02.653
  • Running the country, because remember this,
  • 00:11:02.653 --> 00:11:04.122
  • Allen, barack obama, when he left office,
  • 00:11:04.122 --> 00:11:07.125
  • Did not go back to chicago.
  • 00:11:07.125 --> 00:11:08.893
  • And while he had homes in martha's vineyard in hawaii,
  • 00:11:08.893 --> 00:11:11.929
  • He bought a mansion
  • 00:11:11.929 --> 00:11:13.131
  • In a neighborhood in georgetown, just across the street
  • 00:11:13.131 --> 00:11:16.367
  • From where the white house was, metaphorically speaking.
  • 00:11:16.367 --> 00:11:19.403
  • And he's lived there during joe biden's presidency.
  • 00:11:19.403 --> 00:11:21.873
  • And at no time did
  • 00:11:21.873 --> 00:11:23.107
  • Any reporter go and hang out outside of barack obama's house
  • 00:11:23.107 --> 00:11:26.144
  • To kind of watch who was going back and forth,
  • 00:11:26.144 --> 00:11:28.546
  • And what level of influence or what level of interaction
  • 00:11:28.546 --> 00:11:31.616
  • Was he having with joe biden's staffers?
  • 00:11:31.616 --> 00:11:33.751
  • So i just think it's another example of, yeah,
  • 00:11:33.751 --> 00:11:35.653
  • We don't know who was running it.
  • 00:11:35.653 --> 00:11:37.188
  • We don't know it was joe biden or we know it wasn't joe biden.
  • 00:11:37.188 --> 00:11:39.957
  • But i do believe it's fair to wonder
  • 00:11:39.957 --> 00:11:41.592
  • Just how much influence did barack obama
  • 00:11:41.592 --> 00:11:43.761
  • And his staffers have during the biden presidency?
  • 00:11:43.761 --> 00:11:47.331
  • And it's another reason why i think we can be, quite
  • 00:11:47.331 --> 00:11:48.933
  • Honestly grateful for the level of transparency
  • 00:11:48.933 --> 00:11:51.302
  • The trump administration has introduced.
  • 00:11:51.302 --> 00:11:53.871
  • Well, there's another deep state issue i want to ask you about.
  • 00:11:53.871 --> 00:11:56.774
  • Former fbi director james comey has long denied
  • 00:11:56.774 --> 00:11:59.644
  • That he'd ever been the source of classified leaks
  • 00:11:59.644 --> 00:12:01.846
  • That were spread about trump when he was running for office.
  • 00:12:01.846 --> 00:12:05.216
  • But now that we've learned that he lied publicly
  • 00:12:05.216 --> 00:12:07.752
  • And to congress,
  • 00:12:07.752 --> 00:12:09.120
  • Should we assume
  • 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.188
  • That eventually comey is going to be prosecuted?
  • 00:12:10.188 --> 00:12:12.890
  • Man, i hope so.
  • 00:12:12.890 --> 00:12:13.991
  • I mean, it would be nice to see some accountability
  • 00:12:13.991 --> 00:12:15.626
  • For some of the people who have just lied so blatantly.
  • 00:12:15.626 --> 00:12:18.429
  • And we now have because of these declassified emails
  • 00:12:18.429 --> 00:12:21.432
  • And timelines,
  • 00:12:21.432 --> 00:12:22.466
  • We know the extent to which the fbi was conspired
  • 00:12:22.466 --> 00:12:25.336
  • During to prevent donald trump from reaching office.
  • 00:12:25.336 --> 00:12:27.839
  • You know,
  • 00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:29.073
  • The clinton campaign launched the whole russiagate fiasco
  • 00:12:29.073 --> 00:12:31.876
  • Because they knew that they were actually the ones
  • 00:12:31.876 --> 00:12:34.946
  • With a russia problem
  • 00:12:34.946 --> 00:12:36.881
  • Because of reporting we did in the book clinton cash.
  • 00:12:36.881 --> 00:12:39.650
  • It exposed how much money
  • 00:12:39.650 --> 00:12:41.419
  • Hillary and bill made off of the transfer of 20% of u.s.
  • 00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:45.056
  • Uranium assets to russia.
  • 00:12:45.056 --> 00:12:46.958
  • They said, okay, we are clearly too vulnerable on this.
  • 00:12:46.958 --> 00:12:49.627
  • So they fabricated the narrative that donald trump
  • 00:12:49.627 --> 00:12:52.597
  • Was actually the russian asset,
  • 00:12:52.597 --> 00:12:53.931
  • Laundered it through a corrupt fbi, gave it to media outlets
  • 00:12:53.931 --> 00:12:57.635
  • Who were all too happy to report on it.
  • 00:12:57.635 --> 00:12:59.303
  • They then win journalism awards,
  • 00:12:59.303 --> 00:13:01.372
  • And ultimately, it almost became the thing
  • 00:13:01.372 --> 00:13:04.041
  • That kept donald trump out of the white house.
  • 00:13:04.041 --> 00:13:05.409
  • Luckily, the american people saw past it.
  • 00:13:05.409 --> 00:13:07.111
  • We now know how pervasive that lie became.
  • 00:13:07.111 --> 00:13:10.281
  • But james comey, i think, has a lot of questions
  • 00:13:10.281 --> 00:13:12.483
  • To answer for, including that one.
  • 00:13:12.483 --> 00:13:14.986
  • Well, it seems like there's just no end to the insider abuse
  • 00:13:14.986 --> 00:13:17.855
  • That's going on in washington.
  • 00:13:17.855 --> 00:13:19.557
  • Your team at
  • 00:13:19.557 --> 00:13:20.491
  • I have done a deep
  • 00:13:20.491 --> 00:13:21.659
  • Dive into the tax practices of the clinton foundation.
  • 00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:24.462
  • You've exposed a lot of it.
  • 00:13:24.462 --> 00:13:25.963
  • So much so that one fbi agent said
  • 00:13:25.963 --> 00:13:28.132
  • That the entire foundation's a fraud.
  • 00:13:28.132 --> 00:13:30.801
  • Can you share a little bit more
  • 00:13:30.801 --> 00:13:31.936
  • About what you've learned and how bad it was?
  • 00:13:31.936 --> 00:13:34.572
  • Well, here's all you need to know about what
  • 00:13:34.572 --> 00:13:36.674
  • The clinton foundation really stood for.
  • 00:13:36.674 --> 00:13:38.676
  • And, you know, they have these events,
  • 00:13:38.676 --> 00:13:40.778
  • The clinton global initiative.
  • 00:13:40.778 --> 00:13:42.313
  • So when hillary was running for president in 2016,
  • 00:13:42.313 --> 00:13:47.685
  • Coincidentally that year is when they took in the most money
  • 00:13:47.685 --> 00:13:51.322
  • In their foundation's history.
  • 00:13:51.322 --> 00:13:52.757
  • And then after the 2016 election, when hillary clinton
  • 00:13:52.757 --> 00:13:55.159
  • Was no longer poised to be the president
  • 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:57.128
  • Of the united states, donations to the foundation dropped 90%.
  • 00:13:57.128 --> 00:14:01.832
  • That's always been, unfortunately,
  • 00:14:01.832 --> 00:14:03.734
  • The clinton business model.
  • 00:14:03.734 --> 00:14:05.269
  • When bill clinton was giving speeches
  • 00:14:05.269 --> 00:14:07.405
  • In his post-presidential career, 11 of the 13 speeches he gave
  • 00:14:07.405 --> 00:14:11.442
  • For which he was paid over a half $1 million, came
  • 00:14:11.442 --> 00:14:14.879
  • When hillary clinton was secretary of state.
  • 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.114
  • They leveraged her ability to give favors to people
  • 00:14:17.114 --> 00:14:20.184
  • Who gave to the clinton foundation,
  • 00:14:20.184 --> 00:14:22.186
  • Or pay for bill speeches
  • 00:14:22.186 --> 00:14:23.554
  • From the department of state that she ran.
  • 00:14:23.554 --> 00:14:25.690
  • So the clinton foundation
  • 00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:26.958
  • Was just another example of their pay to play scheme.
  • 00:14:26.958 --> 00:14:30.027
  • One of the things that i've uncovered and reported
  • 00:14:30.027 --> 00:14:32.063
  • On, and we did this in the book, clinton
  • 00:14:32.063 --> 00:14:33.364
  • Cash was at one of these clinton foundation initiatives.
  • 00:14:33.364 --> 00:14:36.300
  • They were able to take a haitian gold mining company,
  • 00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:39.170
  • One of two gold mining permits that haiti opened up
  • 00:14:39.170 --> 00:14:42.273
  • In their post-earthquake disaster recovery efforts.
  • 00:14:42.273 --> 00:14:45.142
  • And they put a clinton brother on the board.
  • 00:14:45.142 --> 00:14:46.944
  • Tony rodham became, on the board for this company.
  • 00:14:46.944 --> 00:14:49.880
  • So, you know, it's shameless how they exploited their access
  • 00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:53.150
  • To power.
  • 00:14:53.150 --> 00:14:53.884
  • So, unfortunately, you know,
  • 00:14:53.884 --> 00:14:56.087
  • I don't think they're going to stop anytime soon.
  • 00:14:56.087 --> 00:14:58.055
  • And i can't wait to see what the next clinton scandal is.
  • 00:14:58.055 --> 00:15:00.891
  • Well, before we run out of time, you've done
  • 00:15:01.792 --> 00:15:03.594
  • A lot of work on the problems around election fraud.
  • 00:15:03.594 --> 00:15:06.497
  • The president is now getting behind the effort to ban
  • 00:15:06.497 --> 00:15:09.033
  • Mail in ballots.
  • 00:15:09.033 --> 00:15:10.301
  • What's the problem there?
  • 00:15:10.301 --> 00:15:11.469
  • And can it be fixed with a ban?
  • 00:15:11.469 --> 00:15:13.938
  • Well, the problem is, is that mail in ballots
  • 00:15:13.938 --> 00:15:16.273
  • Have been universally recognized in a bipartisan way
  • 00:15:16.273 --> 00:15:19.510
  • As the most susceptible to fraud.
  • 00:15:19.510 --> 00:15:21.412
  • I actually did a video for prager u about this
  • 00:15:21.412 --> 00:15:23.748
  • A few years ago.
  • 00:15:23.748 --> 00:15:24.749
  • And, you know,
  • 00:15:24.749 --> 00:15:25.916
  • I wrote a book about the threats that face our elections,
  • 00:15:25.916 --> 00:15:28.519
  • Mail in ballots
  • 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:29.987
  • And, you know, ballots that are cast in the mail are a problem.
  • 00:15:29.987 --> 00:15:32.690
  • Now, they can be used in secure ways.
  • 00:15:32.690 --> 00:15:34.592
  • If people have to show id to request the ballots. but
  • 00:15:34.592 --> 00:15:37.762
  • When states just mail everybody a ballot, that's no good.
  • 00:15:37.762 --> 00:15:41.365
  • And one of the reasons why it's no good
  • 00:15:41.365 --> 00:15:43.234
  • Is because the voter rolls are rife with errors.
  • 00:15:43.234 --> 00:15:46.037
  • The supreme court decided statistics
  • 00:15:46.037 --> 00:15:48.072
  • That show one out of eight voter registrations are wrong.
  • 00:15:48.072 --> 00:15:51.742
  • In new york, they've cast, you know,
  • 00:15:51.742 --> 00:15:53.711
  • They've done investigations to try to cast ballots
  • 00:15:53.711 --> 00:15:55.579
  • On behalf of flawed voter registrations
  • 00:15:55.579 --> 00:15:57.882
  • In 61 of the 63 times they were able to do so.
  • 00:15:57.882 --> 00:16:01.552
  • So, i mean, these are a big time problem.
  • 00:16:01.552 --> 00:16:03.320
  • I think what donald trump will do is
  • 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.056
  • If he can take his dodge team, the level of granular analysis
  • 00:16:05.056 --> 00:16:08.793
  • That they're able to do,
  • 00:16:08.793 --> 00:16:09.860
  • If they can
  • 00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:10.895
  • Get states to give them access to do a real audit
  • 00:16:10.895 --> 00:16:13.497
  • Of the voter rolls. i think that's step one.
  • 00:16:13.497 --> 00:16:15.466
  • You've got to clean up the voter rolls
  • 00:16:15.466 --> 00:16:16.834
  • And then if
  • 00:16:16.834 --> 00:16:17.301
  • You are mail
  • 00:16:17.301 --> 00:16:18.369
  • In ballots to people and you have more confidence
  • 00:16:18.369 --> 00:16:19.970
  • They're going to the right place,
  • 00:16:19.970 --> 00:16:21.105
  • But just it just shows you that donald trump is able
  • 00:16:21.105 --> 00:16:23.240
  • To lead a conversation that we have to have
  • 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.476
  • If we want to restore confidence in american elections.
  • 00:16:25.476 --> 00:16:29.180
  • Well, eric eggers, it is always a learning experience
  • 00:16:29.180 --> 00:16:31.782
  • To have you on. thanks for taking the time today.
  • 00:16:31.782 --> 00:16:34.919
  • Allen, you're the best.
  • 00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:36.387
  • My best to you and your audience. as always.
  • 00:16:36.387 --> 00:16:38.556
  • When we come back, the hope that exists even in this high
  • 00:16:38.556 --> 00:16:41.692
  • Tide of disturbing information from washington.
  • 00:16:41.692 --> 00:16:51.003
  • Tide of disturbing information from washington.
  • 00:16:51.003 --> 00:16:55.875
  • You know, it seems that with each week,
  • 00:16:56.742 --> 00:16:58.411
  • More disturbing discoveries are made
  • 00:16:58.411 --> 00:17:00.546
  • Regarding the secret attempts
  • 00:17:00.546 --> 00:17:01.848
  • By very influential people in washington, d.c.,
  • 00:17:01.848 --> 00:17:04.650
  • To influence outcomes to their selfish benefit
  • 00:17:04.650 --> 00:17:07.553
  • And not to the benefit of the people
  • 00:17:07.553 --> 00:17:09.222
  • They were elected to serve. you.
  • 00:17:09.222 --> 00:17:11.290
  • We just assume that
  • 00:17:11.290 --> 00:17:12.191
  • Those in leadership
  • 00:17:12.191 --> 00:17:12.959
  • Throughout the federal government,
  • 00:17:12.959 --> 00:17:14.060
  • Regardless of political affiliation,
  • 00:17:14.060 --> 00:17:16.362
  • Would be good
  • 00:17:16.362 --> 00:17:17.029
  • Stewards of the people's trust
  • 00:17:17.029 --> 00:17:18.431
  • And have our best interests at heart.
  • 00:17:18.431 --> 00:17:20.900
  • Well, we've seen elected officials entering
  • 00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:22.468
  • Government service with grand promises.
  • 00:17:22.468 --> 00:17:24.904
  • And while the initiatives they oversaw failed miserably,
  • 00:17:24.904 --> 00:17:27.874
  • Somehow they became fabulously wealthy.
  • 00:17:27.874 --> 00:17:31.144
  • Well, information continues
  • 00:17:31.144 --> 00:17:32.211
  • To come out about those in
  • 00:17:32.211 --> 00:17:33.146
  • Leadership positions within the fbi and cia,
  • 00:17:33.146 --> 00:17:36.382
  • How they directed others to take unverified intelligence
  • 00:17:36.382 --> 00:17:39.185
  • And shape it into a false storyline about trump
  • 00:17:39.185 --> 00:17:42.421
  • And the legacy media, largely ignored the truth.
  • 00:17:42.421 --> 00:17:45.458
  • They covered up the mental
  • 00:17:46.025 --> 00:17:46.993
  • And physical decline of former president biden.
  • 00:17:46.993 --> 00:17:49.595
  • They said that president joe biden is as sharp as ever,
  • 00:17:49.595 --> 00:17:52.632
  • Even though it was plain to see that wasn't the case.
  • 00:17:52.632 --> 00:17:55.535
  • We're finding out more and more
  • 00:17:55.535 --> 00:17:57.003
  • About the intricate operation to keep the truth hidden.
  • 00:17:57.003 --> 00:18:00.573
  • Well, this isn't just a political issue.
  • 00:18:00.573 --> 00:18:02.642
  • We have to understand the season in terms of spiritual terms,
  • 00:18:02.642 --> 00:18:06.445
  • When everyone is left to make their own determinations
  • 00:18:06.445 --> 00:18:08.814
  • Of what is true.
  • 00:18:08.814 --> 00:18:09.916
  • We quickly find out that we are living
  • 00:18:09.916 --> 00:18:11.884
  • In the midst of the theater of the absurd.
  • 00:18:11.884 --> 00:18:14.887
  • And i believe the only thing that will restrain
  • 00:18:14.887 --> 00:18:16.822
  • Evil in the world is the spirit of god.
  • 00:18:16.822 --> 00:18:19.692
  • And to the degree that governments will cooperate
  • 00:18:19.692 --> 00:18:22.061
  • With a biblical worldview and god's spirit.
  • 00:18:22.061 --> 00:18:24.897
  • Well, that determines how effective
  • 00:18:24.897 --> 00:18:26.432
  • They will be in restraining evil.
  • 00:18:26.432 --> 00:18:28.601
  • And in that we have hope.
  • 00:18:28.601 --> 00:18:30.670
  • I promise. we'll be right back.
  • 00:18:30.670 --> 00:18:40.004
  • I promise. we'll be right back.
  • 00:18:40.004 --> 00:18:44.251
  • Just a reminder that if you
  • 00:18:44.851 --> 00:18:45.986

  • They are always a highlight of the program.
  • 00:18:55.796 --> 00:18:58.031
  • John c from pennsylvania emailed your talk with mark
  • 00:18:58.031 --> 00:19:01.101
  • Morano was excellent.
  • 00:19:01.101 --> 00:19:02.236
  • Everyone in america should listen
  • 00:19:02.236 --> 00:19:03.737
  • And pay attention to the information in that talk.
  • 00:19:03.737 --> 00:19:06.073
  • God bless you and your dedication to truth.
  • 00:19:06.073 --> 00:19:08.041
  • Your show is great and i appreciate the information.
  • 00:19:08.041 --> 00:19:11.011
  • Mark did a great job.
  • 00:19:11.011 --> 00:19:12.579
  • It helps to hear the truth once in a while.
  • 00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:14.281
  • It actually resonates when you hear it.
  • 00:19:14.281 --> 00:19:16.917
  • David from washington emailed the ottoman empire, the greek
  • 00:19:16.917 --> 00:19:20.621
  • Empire, the roman empire sounds like a jeopardy question.
  • 00:19:20.621 --> 00:19:24.258
  • United we stand, divided we fall.
  • 00:19:24.258 --> 00:19:27.060
  • As our congress forgotten this history from within.
  • 00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:29.630
  • They failed.
  • 00:19:29.630 --> 00:19:30.764
  • Don't you think we as a nation should come together?
  • 00:19:30.764 --> 00:19:33.500
  • I do think we're too divided and its star detriment.
  • 00:19:34.534 --> 00:19:37.471
  • But what bound us together was a unity to a set of values
  • 00:19:37.471 --> 00:19:42.175
  • Really derived from a biblical worldview.
  • 00:19:42.175 --> 00:19:44.678
  • Those empires you listed, they crumbled from within.
  • 00:19:44.678 --> 00:19:47.014
  • And so will we
  • 00:19:47.014 --> 00:19:48.482
  • If we
  • 00:19:48.482 --> 00:19:49.750
  • Don't step back into the values that brought strength and god's
  • 00:19:49.750 --> 00:19:52.085
  • Blessings to us. it's up to us.
  • 00:19:52.085 --> 00:19:54.187
  • It'll be reflected in washington when our hearts change.
  • 00:19:54.187 --> 00:19:57.224
  • And then sheri from rockport, texas asked.
  • 00:19:58.125 --> 00:20:00.861
  • I have visited with our pastor,
  • 00:20:00.861 --> 00:20:02.262
  • And he's intending to make a statement in church
  • 00:20:02.262 --> 00:20:04.131
  • Regarding god's charge that we support israel
  • 00:20:04.131 --> 00:20:07.000
  • And inviting those interested to sign something
  • 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.002
  • That could be sent to someone in israel.
  • 00:20:09.002 --> 00:20:11.371
  • I'd like to get your thoughts on this
  • 00:20:11.371 --> 00:20:12.906
  • And would welcome any recommenda
  • 00:20:12.906 --> 00:20:16.109
  • Well, sure,
  • 00:20:16.443 --> 00:20:17.311
  • It's a complex topic, but in short,
  • 00:20:17.311 --> 00:20:18.745
  • I believe we have a biblical
  • 00:20:18.745 --> 00:20:20.047
  • Responsibility to support the jewish people
  • 00:20:20.047 --> 00:20:23.050
  • And their right to that little strip of land
  • 00:20:23.050 --> 00:20:24.851
  • At the end of the mediterranean.
  • 00:20:24.851 --> 00:20:26.553
  • It isn't predominantly a political issue.
  • 00:20:26.553 --> 00:20:28.822
  • I really do think it's grounded from a biblical perspective,
  • 00:20:28.822 --> 00:20:31.258
  • And we can use our voices to do that.
  • 00:20:31.258 --> 00:20:33.694
  • That'll bring the pressure that's needed in washington.
  • 00:20:33.694 --> 00:20:36.763
  • It's always a delight to spend a few minutes with you.
  • 00:20:36.763 --> 00:20:39.199
  • I'm alan jackson, and you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:39.199 --> 00:20:39.199
