The Democrats have mounted a pretty strong defense against Elon Musk.
They asked the question musically, of course, which side are you on?
It's something that you need to hear.
Also, Lindy Lee is with us and Ana Paulina Luna.
Anna was yesterday appointed to a new congressional hearing or committee to release all of the national secrets.
What does that mean?
And how fast is this coming?
At a breathtaking pace.

You're listening to
the best of the Bland Beck program.
So people are freaking out in the Democratic Party, and they should, especially if you had anything to do with the last election.
I mean, you know, they raised a billion dollars,
and it looked like a lot of it was wasted.
Where did that money go?
I don't know.
But there's somebody that has been seen on many podcasts now.
She's a former Democratic fundraiser.
She is.
I don't know.
She's still a Democrat, but she left the DNC as an insider and has become an independent thinker.
Lindy is joining us now.
Lindy Lee, welcome, Lindy.
Glenn, it's so good to be with you.
Thank you so much for having me.
Now, I'm guessing that's something you never, ever thought in your life you would say.
Good morning, Glenn Becky Me.
Yeah, good morning, Glenn.
I've watched you from afar for much of my life, so I didn't think it would be happening this week, though.
You're certainly right.
It's been a whirlwind, and I'm no longer a Democrat.
Oh, really?
Because I just read someplace that
you haven't led the you haven't left the party but you have now officially left the party i have left the party absolutely this is not how i saw my year going but um the party left me with no choice i just can't abide by the woke in trans insanity not to mention the gross mismanagement of the money that i spent worked so hard to raise and glenn i hate to correct you but it wasn't a billion it was 2.5 billion because the campaign weighs 1.5 billion and the super PAC, Future Forward, weighs another billion.
So we essentially...
Where did all that money go?
Where did it go, Lindy?
To oligarchs, to celebrities, to five-star hotels.
Half a million dollars was spent on putting Kamala Harris's mug on a sphere in Las Vegas.
Obviously, that was a wise decision.
And on mega celebrity concerts, even right down the street on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum.
How many votes do you think that garnered for her?
I would wager maybe like negative votes because people were pissed off at the traffic was snarled the entire day.
And who puts a bill for that?
Taxpayers, right?
And the damage done to our community.
And she did this in so many cities.
Like, who thought that was a good idea?
Actually, I know exactly who thought that was a good idea, but it was just, these people are brain dead.
You say that you can
name who the president was.
Who was the president in the last four years?
Glenn, the thing is, there were like 10 of them because you have like Steve Roschetti and Mike Donnelly and Nita Dunn and Barack Obama orbiting around and all these people who are unelected senior advisors running the show.
It certainly wasn't Joe Biden.
He was just a figurehead signing the executive orders and not really understanding what he was signing.
And it's just, it's just a very, very grave situation that I tried to flag for everybody for a number of years now.
It took me a while to get here, though.
You know, they will excoriate you, and I'm still paying the price.
price.
I haven't, Glenn, I haven't, it's been a really hard time for me.
I haven't slept.
I didn't sleep last night.
I've been having trouble sleeping.
I'm being attacked from both the left and the right, by the way.
Somebody on the right is trying to defame me, and the left is just insane.
So it's just, it's not a, it's not easy, Glenn.
So, so, I, and I know that.
I mean, I have been excoriated by both sides because I'm, I'm not predictable.
I just am who I am, and sometimes I change my mind on things.
I love that about you.
Yeah, you've been outspoken literally my entire life.
And it's difficult if you don't choose a team when your team is just, I want to be true to myself and true to what I believe is true.
For instance, you know, I really thought America was a great place, and I still believe it's a great place, but we have done really bad things.
And I don't mean in the distant past.
I mean...
recently.
We've done some really bad things.
And we have to admit those things.
And it doesn't mean you're anti-American.
It just means I just want the truth.
Let the chips fall where they may and let the people decide the direction.
Because I think the people in America are good.
When the government detaches itself from the people, we always go wrong.
So I've lived your life before,
but can you see
at all, you were somebody, I mean, who defended
all of this stuff
hard
during the campaign.
Did I have a choice?
I don't know.
No, I'm not.
So you know,
I've lost all my so-called friends.
I've been excommunicated, not just excommunicated, but they try to discredit me, to destroy me, to defame me.
There are hit pieces out there about me.
They just cannot believe that there is someone who doesn't have skeletons in our closet.
So they invent these skeletons.
I am just honestly just a,
honestly a well-behaved Asian girl.
You know, that's how I was raised.
I was, I've been a Christian conservative all my life, and I've had to hide that aspect of me because it's not acceptable to be that when you go to a liberal university.
I went to an extremely liberal university.
I live in an extremely liberal city.
It's not acceptable to be a Republican.
So my transition and my journey to becoming who I am, it took, this was a years-long process for me.
I know.
And
so you know, Lindy, you're not walking into a hostile room.
I just, you know,
as somebody who
I'm really happy and honored to be here.
I appreciate you.
I hope you under, I hope you sense that love coming from me.
I do.
Thank you, Lindy.
But I just, you know, we have to have honest conversations because there's a lot of people that will cloak themselves and say, I got to be on this side for a while.
And, you know, everybody is who they are, whatever.
But I only want to be around, I have no problem being around
liberals if they're reasonable and we can talk about things and we can disagree and we can live side by side forever and it's not a problem.
The problem is just exactly what you described.
A left and some parts of the right are like this as well, but not nearly like it is on the left.
They'll just destroy you.
Truth does not matter.
Absolutely.
Right?
And those people are really, really dangerous.
So
what was your turning point?
What was the last thing that you're like, okay,
I just can't do this anymore?
Well, actually, Glenn, I haven't said this publicly.
The person that I love most in the world is a Republican, and
he's always been Republican.
He's from the South.
And it's something that I haven't disclosed, and I don't want to say more because it's a private individual, and he's not a public figure.
But when you love somebody, you kind of want to be aligned with them.
And because I've been protecting his identity,
people
are personal relationship.
This isn't somebody that you've been.
Oh, this is just one of many factors.
This is what this, my becoming who I am publicly wasn't just one, it wasn't one catalyst.
There are so many, countless.
But I'm just saying that when you love somebody, you kind of want to be on the same page as them.
It's only natural.
And I've just never, I don't want to drag them into the public square.
It's just not my place to do that.
But in terms of specific things, there's so many.
I mean, I was attacked on the streets of Philadelphia multiple times in the past year.
That's a result of the progressive DA that we have, Larry Krasner, and the George Soros-funded prosecutors that we have around the country, basically destroying our cities.
But not only that, the DNC chair
publicly
humiliated me after I raised questions.
All I did was raise questions about the campaign spending.
He called me a narcissist and accused me of taking selfies at the election night party.
That's his worst, okay?
That's their worst, the DNC chair's worst allegation against me.
That's how thin, you know, their argument against me is.
But he could have, they all had my number, okay?
Every one of us were on a first name basis.
He could have picked up the phone and we could have talked about the campaign spending.
Instead, he chose to, you know, indulge his far-left influencers and publicly humiliate me.
How could I possibly be a part of that team after something like that, like that happened?
And he acted like he was five years old.
He sent, he tweeted GIFs at me.
He sent me a GIF of like a flaming dumpster fire, which is supposed to exemplify me, I guess.
So, this is the, this is how the leader of the Democratic Party behaved to well-meaning criticism.
I don't want to be a part of this clown show.
So, Lindy, let's talk about the
way the Democrats are behaving now.
As I said just a minute ago,
and Bill Ackman just retweeted this, that over three times more people in D.C.
are Googling criminal defense lawyer than anywhere else in the U.S.
The Democrats are saying that
Elon Musk is destroying democracy when all he's asking for is transparency.
And I think, honestly, I think that's part of the thing that when people were talking about hope and change with Barack Obama, I think that's what a lot of people thought they were going to get was transparency.
We're going to read all the bills before they're passed.
You're going to be able to see everything that we do.
When it comes to our tax dollars, the
gross mismanagement, and that's putting it in the nicest possible frame, the gross mismanagement has got to stop.
And when you see what happened with $2.5 billion in the campaign,
how do you approach people like you that were on the other side
that are now standing up and saying, this Elon Musk, what's happening is destroying democracy.
How do you talk to them?
What do you say to them?
One phrase.
Give me a break.
You're complaining that Elon Musk wasn't elected and therefore has no right to help the country.
What about the team, the cabal of people around Joe Biden who wasn't elected over the past four years?
They were literally running the country on his behalf.
So don't even start with me.
That's what I would say.
But also, you know, the people in Washington, this swamp, they're so used to spending OPM, other people's money.
And so they're just addicted to that.
They have no sense of fiscal responsibility.
My family and I were naturalized immigrants, by the way.
We came to this country with very little money, 200 bucks.
We didn't take a handout from anybody.
We worked like, we worked hard as hell to get to where we are right now, to build a beautiful life, to create hundreds of jobs.
And that is a mentality that Elon is kind of imposing on the federal government, you know, to make sure that line by line, every line can be justified.
That is the kind of attitude that I actually want.
Lindy, it's great talking to you.
I hope we get a chance to talk again because I know you're being accused of being a Chinese spy and your family escaped communism.
And
I just would like to hear more of your point of view.
Can we even settle that right now?
Like, what do you need me to do?
Someone from the CCP killed my great-grandfather.
Right.
So
I think the only thing that needs to be done is just that.
People just need to know, no, your family was persecuted by the Chinese communists.
It wouldn't make any sense for you to be anything.
My father is a dissident.
Are we allowed a curse on here?
No.
We're on federal
FCC.
Let me just say that I hate the communists, the Chinese communist regime.
I hate them.
I've condemned them all my life, my entire adult life.
Five years ago, I went on Fox News and I openly condemned the communist regime.
What do you want from me?
Like, what do I need to do?
You're just looking for a way to destroy me because you
don't know.
You disagree.
But I'm not going to let people get away.
Anyone who defames me, by the way, my lawyer will be reaching out.
Lindy, appreciate it.
Hope we talk again.
I know you have to run.
Thank you so much for being on with me.
Thank you so much, Glenn.
You bet.
Take care.
You bet.
Lindy Lee.
I like her.
She seems nice.
I, you know, like to go a little more in-depth with her, but my initial response is, I like her.
Let me talk to you a little bit about the Burna Launcher.
The Burna Launcher is something that my wife has in her car, I have in my car, in the glove box.
I'll carry it from time to time.
My daughter has one in her purse,
and it's much better than mace or pepper spray.
This looks like a gun.
It's legal in all 50 states.
You don't need a permit or background check or anything because it's less lethal
and it fires a kinetic round that will put you on the ground for a while and
then it also has tear gas.
I load mine kinetic round, tear gas to kinetic round, tear gas.
So I'm going to hit you first with a kinetic round and if that doesn't get your attention, tear gas I'm hitting you with next and that'll put you on the ground for 45 minutes.
It is really a great thing to have.
Sometimes you're in need of a gun.
Other times, you're going to pull that gun if you, you know, only pull a gun if you're prepared to kill somebody.
And sometimes you have to.
I hope I'm never in that situation.
Most times we'll be in a situation where you want something like a Burna launcher.

Now, back to the podcast.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're so glad that you've tuned in today.
Thank you so much.
We're from Miami today.
I'm in Miami, W-I-O-D.
Thank you so much for your hospitality and our good friend Grace Blazer for everything that she has done for this program over the years.
I want to talk to you about,
well, let me apologize first, okay?
Before we start talking about, I do want to apologize because
this is going to be in your head now forever, but I
just don't know any other way.
I have to present this to you.
The
Democrats,
I think, have lost their mind.
And so they are now, you know,
standing up for the Department of Ed, and they're standing up for USAID and
all of these crazy things.
I mean, the Department of Ed, when we start to see what the Department of Ed actually spends its money on, I think you'll agree.
Our test scores are, we spend more money per student than anybody else in the world.
And
when you look at the test scores, we're not getting anything for it.
The Department of Ed doesn't do anything.
All that money should go back to the states, and the federal government could help those states that just can't afford things, but it shouldn't be run by the unions or anybody else.
It should be run by the local school districts, and certainly not by the federal government.
Well, they're very upset at some of these cuts.
And I just, they've got a new chant.
It's more of a song than a chant.
And I just think you should hear it because it's very, very compelling.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Singing.
Which side are you on?
We'll fight against church.
We'll fight Elon Musk.
No we landscape within our walls.
We'll fight from dawn to dusk.
Oh, which side are you
on?
Which side are you?
Which side are you on?
Yeah.
Which side are you on?
Oh, she's got more.
Unions, he wants us all to fail.
Lovely singing voice.
He wants us to bow to him, but we want him in jail.
Yeah.
Which side are you on?
Okay.
Which side are you on?
I'm sorry, that is going to be in your head now for the rest of the day.
You're going to find yourself, and don't curse me.
I'm just doing my job, bringing you the news.
And so don't, you know, it'll be 3 o'clock this afternoon, maybe 9 o'clock tonight, and you'll be like,
Tim Glennbeck.
Don't blame me.
Don't blame me.
Blame the unions in Washington.
Blame the organizers in Washington that are saying, which side are you on?
The cuts of graft and corruption and just not knowing where the hell your money went?
I think I'm on that side.
My question is: which side are they on?
You know what I mean?
The ones singing, especially the woman leading it, which side is she on?
Because I think this helps my side,
not their side.
But I, you know, maybe it's just me.
Maybe I don't have the right appreciation for the fine arts and that super, super classic.
By the way, they've changed the words, but that is something,
a song that was written for the labor movement by the socialists in 1931 or 1932.
It came again back in the 60s.
And what a surprise, the same socialists are singing it again.
So which side are you on?
Oh, which side are you on?
Now, I don't know, and I haven't heard this for a while, but
the only thing I can compare this to in quality is, do you remember the woman in Seattle years ago that came up with her own song about there's a hole in the sky where the tree once was?
Yes.
Go ahead, let's pull this super, super classic.
Stand up.
There's a hole in the sky where the tree once was.
Somebody's making money.
Yeah.
Laws protect exceptional trees, but the city grants exemptions to these.
Instead, they reward the developer's greed and sanction the murderer's deeds.
There's a hole in the sky where the tree once was.
Somebody's making money.
There's a hole in the sky where the tree once was.
She missed
the money.
No more leaves shimmering with golden light.
No more gentle shedding of rains.
No more tulip blossoms rustling in the wind.
Now nothing remains but the
hole in the sky where the tree once was.
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Could we play the other one?
Because I'm just trying to.
Which one is better?
That one's really good.
That one's really, really super good.
I could see it on Broadway.
And
it's only competition, I think, in years
is this new one.
Which side are you on?
Play a little bit.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Tell me.
Which side are you on?
I like that.
Tell me.
Which side are you on?
We'll fight against Josh.
We'll fight Elon Musk.
That's your shit.
Little pitchy dogs.
Little pitchy dogs.
We'll fight from dawn to dusk.
You know,
I have to say.
I have to say, as somebody who does like Broadway, I think that's the winner.
That's the one that I'm leaving the theater singing.
Well, as a man who's produced a top-selling Christmas C D
recently,
you have an eye for talent.
And I think
is there a possibility that your daughter and one of these singers could do a duet?
Is there a
nope?
I don't think there's a possibility of that at all.
No, okay.
Not even in the slightest.
By the way, don't you owe us a duet?
I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up.
You owe us a song
still.
I do.
Yeah, you do.
Okay.
I just haven't had a chance to get around to it.
it.
I will say vocal performance-wise, I think the hole in the sky, there's a
clear-cut advantage there
for the ability as far as singing goes.
And lyrics.
Lyrics.
I mean, you know, you don't have a lot of shimmering leaves in
regular March songs.
This is more of a ballad, really.
When you throw the word musk in, you know they're going to dusk.
Yeah.
Because there's not a lot of songs that you can't rhyme tusk all that often unless you're singing about like, you
prehistoric animals.
Yes.
You're not going to get there that often.
So there's not really that much to go to.
So I thought it was pretty bad.
Could you go to bust
with Musk?
I mean, it's a stretch.
It's a stretch.
It's a stretch.
Not a true rhyme.
I don't think I could hold him to that standard anyway.
And like, what are they?
I love the idea here that they're trying to make Musk into
this guy who's actually actually the president of the United States right now.
And there's multiple reasons I think they're doing that.
But one of them is, I think,
you look at
what he's trying to do is so fundamentally obvious to everyone.
Now, you might not think he's making the right choices in that process.
You could say, okay, well, I think this particular program is beneficial and the others aren't.
But fundamentally, he's just trying to get rid of waste and
it's so obvious this stuff exists.
And I don't even think that they're necessarily like arguing.
Like, they don't argue the specific points he makes up.
Oh, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Play that song again.
Yeah, that's true.
I think you might be.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Okay, now listen to her case.
Which side are you on?
And ask yourself,
which side are you on?
We'll fight against Josh.
We'll fight Elon Musk.
No,
So, something about scabs in their walls.
Yeah, I don't think that's the best verse for this case that you are making.
Can you get to the second verse there for me?
Good are you all
good are you all?
Well, that's the part that
I'll keep playing it.
Trump's coming for our unions.
Trump's coming for the unions.
He wants us to bow to him, but we want him in jail.
Okay, so that is a really good point.
And I don't think people are sick of the jail talk.
You know what I mean?
No, it works so well in this
recent election.
Go back to it.
They got to.
I mean, when they get halfway through the song and they say the word Bittler, you know what's coming.
That's right.
I think that's in the fourth stanza.
It's in the fourth stanza.
Yes, it is.
It's in the fourth stanza.
Most people don't sing it, but they'll bring it up.
They'll bring it up.
Can I bring up one other argument?
I want to get your take on, Glenn?
Sure.
Whether what the media is trying to do with all this Elon Musk talk, obviously they want him to fail at what he's attempting to do here.
That's clear.
But like, he's on the cover of Time magazine sitting at the Resolute Desk.
Yeah.
I think they want to break up this little relationship.
Of course they do.
They are trying to taunt Trump into thinking, well, actually, it's Musk that's the president and thinking Trump's ego will step up and say, no, it's not.
In fact, he's gone.
Like they want to create that.
I don't think Trump is dumb enough to fall for it.
No.
But I do think they are trying to do that.
They don't understand the fundamental change in Donald Trump.
You know, maybe in the first term, maybe,
maybe you could have gotten away with that.
But not if he was locked in as much as he is on what Elon Musk is doing and knowing who Elon Musk is and what he's capable of.
He has a profound respect for him as a cutter, as somebody who can look at a big picture and break it down into his
head in the fundamentals almost instantaneously.
You know, and Donald Trump knows that he has that skill and knows what role he plays.
And he's not.
He's not concerned about anybody thinking he's not president of the United States.
You know, they did that the last, he's not really president.
He was selected, not elected.
All of that stuff, it doesn't mean anything to him.
He has his mojo back, and it's just, it's not going to work.
It's not going to work.
I mean, did you hear his response to that from Time Magazine?
Did you see, Mr.
President, Time Magazine had Elon Musk sitting behind this, a quote, your resolute desk.
What, do you have any comment on that?
You know what his comment was?
Is Time magazine still in business?
It's fantastic.
It's fantastic.
Yeah.
That's the right response.
It is.
It is.
So I don't think it's going to work.
And the other thing that makes this fall apart is Bernie Sanders, I've been warning about millionaires and billionaires having access to our government and creating an oligarchy.
Really, Bernie?
I don't remember you saying anything about George Soros.
I don't remember you saying anything.
In fact, as we are now looking at all of the NGOs that are run by all of your friends that are all getting millions and millions of dollars from the government,
I didn't hear, in fact, you're defending that now.
How is this
consistent at all?
I love Hillary Clinton when she comes out.
This is disgusting.
Really?
Ms.
Clinton?
the
Clinton Global Initiative, the Queen of Benghazi?
I don't think you have any credibility on this.
No, they're mad at Elon Musk because he's a billionaire that isn't giving his money and efforts to them.
Lots of the other ones are.
They like a certain type of billionaire, which is the one that's feeding them money.
That's the kind they like.
And every other kind is bad.
Right.
And I have to tell you, when he gets into the Defense Department, that's when we should really
be saying great things.
That's when he's uncovering the graft and the waste in our Defense Department, which you know is there.
We've known that ever since I was a kid.
All of that.
That's when we have touchdown after touchdown because they're protecting their little graft scheme.
Our side, which is supposed to be big defense, I don't want any of it protected.
I want those people to be exposed.
And if they broke the law, I want them to go to jail.
And I want the money to be accounted for.
So, what are you going to say to that?
Well, they just are
big
warp
business
billionaire.
You're the evil guy with the electric car company.
That's the real enemy.
Wait, I thought the biggest society threatened to warm this side.
Are you on?
It's crazy.
So bad.

Hey, Glenn, happy to be back on.
Thank you.
Okay, now I just have to say, yesterday, unbeknownst to me, before you are appointed, I was on a show with Patrick Pett David and I said, within 15 days, they're going to release the client list for Jeffrey Epstein.
No way, that can't be true.
And I said, I'm telling you, Cash Patel, I talked to him over the summer.
He is for radical transparency.
transparency it's in the hands of the director of the fbi i think he does it day number one but let's give him a few days to settle in they didn't believe me they said we're going to track this so anna you're going to make me look bad and i don't care if lives are destroyed or whatever but you can't make me look bad No, you know, we actually also sent a letter yesterday to the Department of Justice.
As you know, Pam Body Sandy is heading up that organization.
And we also asked for it there.
But I also, I'm in the same belief that cash will get confirmed.
I think that he is going to be absolutely pushing for radical transparency.
And I'd like to also, too, just point out that, you know, at the same time that we're basically announcing our press conference and this declassification task force, we actually also found out that the FBI just so happened to locate thousands of pages of, you know, previously undiscovered JFK files.
So look, I know a lot of people are like, well, the American people need to see that information first.
And you actually will be able to see it.
It's going to be declassified.
But the reason why we're doing the task force is A, just because President Trump signed an executive order doesn't mean that bureaucrats in these intelligence agencies won't attempt to block it.
So we want to make sure that that's followed through and we do have punitive authority to hold them accountable if they don't, A.
And then B, I think it's incredibly important to look at the evidence that we know now, which is sure as heck a lot different than what they had
even 60 years ago.
And what we're finding and what I've said is from what I have looked at, just stuff that's already out there, also to taking into account many of the doctors that were actually at that initial responding or at that initial hospital, I do think that there were two shooters.
And I think that, you know, the whole magic bully theory that the Warren Commission pushed, I think that that was faulty.
I know the president at the time also believed that that was a faulty theory.
And so, you know, I'm eager to uncover this.
I know that there's many Democrats and Republicans that also want to get to the bottom of this.
And I'm simply asking the questions that every American's been asking for decades.
So, I have a really good friend, Paul Vienz, who is he has the
Museum of the American Soldier in Texas.
And he had, he spent a long time to get the exact right gun, the way it was modified, scope, and everything else.
And he just had it redone.
And I have to tell you, I've held it.
I'm going to take it out to the range next week, but I've held the gun.
I've looked through the scope.
I just don't think you could do it.
I mean, it is, it's just so difficult.
There were reports from doctors at the time, some of which were first and second-year med students who were at the hospital in the room where Kennedy was brought, and they reported an entry wound in the neck.
From some of the footage that you can see, that's actually videoed.
You can see obviously Kennedy getting shot.
But then also, the doctors that ran the autopsies at Bethesda, Maryland, had reported seeing an entry wound in the back.
And so, we're talking about multiple shots here.
I think think the whole idea that they would try to just ignore that evidence or at least try to bury that and not even answer the question is suspect to me.
And so I think this whole idea of wanting to push against declassification or even trying to poo poo the evidence that now has been brought to the forefront, look, it's the obligation of the U.S.
government to release this information to the American people.
Kennedy was arguably one of the most popular presidents and he was assassinated.
So why did they try so hard to push back against any questioning?
And that's where I come in and where the task force comes in.
You know, I'm also telling people, though, if you are seeing people with
large accounts in social media, especially pushing against declassification or attempting to discredit, and I saw it immediately after my press conference, trying to discredit the efforts of Congress to actually follow through and get this done.
In my opinion, bad actors exist on both sides.
If you really have nothing to hide, then you should not be afraid of the questioning.
You shouldn't be afraid of information getting out to the American people.
So,
let me ask you, let me push back on a couple of things
just from, you know, playing devil's advocate.
Why would you start with the JFK?
Why is that even important?
I mean, it happened a year before I was born.
Yesterday was my 61st birthday.
How is this relevant?
How is this relevant?
Well, I think, so when we chose to kind of go through the hearing timelines, it's the MLK files and JFK files that are going to be released first.
So we wanted to help go through that information and then also correct some of the historical narratives that were painted on the assassinations.
Obviously, confirming or holding hearings that actually present new evidence, I think, is important for knowing and fully understanding the story, right?
So that's the first thing.
Also, are these going to be open hearings?
Yes.
Yep.
These are all open.
And the reason I want them open is because I think the American people will be able to also go through the evidence.
I'm also going to be doing something similar to what I did when we ran the UAP hearings and allow people to ask questions.
And we're also bringing in experts.
There's a few individuals that I want to bring in from the previous investigations that actually were pointing out some pretty incredible evidence that pointed to potentially a second shooter, and they were poo-pooed, and I think that those people deserve a platform.
And if we find anything, and
having cash confirmed is incredibly important because he's also going to bring forward files that I would argue have been hidden from the American people.
And so, look, this is obviously a big effort.
We're not perfect, but we do know that the American people deserve this, and that's what we're fighting for, is total, complete transparency.
Okay, so the other pushback question that I have, and this one is actually pretty sincere from me, and that is
once we get Congress involved, then we're re-litigating everything.
The more Congress gets involved, the slower it will happen, and the higher the percentage is.
It's just not going to come out.
We're just going to get pages and pages of redacted crap.
Well, so the whole purpose and objective of this task force is actually to ensure that, with President Trump's executive order, the agencies and the bureaucrats in those agencies do exactly what that executive order says, which is to declassify it.
So, we're not going to be siloing or holding any information that won't be available to the American people.
So, this is all going to be out there.
You will be able to go through it yourself.
It will be online from what I gather, similar to how they've declassified previous documents from the FBI and the CIA.
So, again, we are simply
reopening the investigation with new evidence, also bringing in credible witnesses that will be verified and confirmed via House Oversight, the committee itself.
And we are going to be opening this up to the American people.
So you will have access to the same documents that we are looking at.
We are just simply ensuring that we are not going to get blockaded or this information is not siloed.
Unbelievable.
And when do we get to the things?
By the way, the answer to, for me, the answer to my first question to you was it's relevant because I think they've been doing this kind of stuff forever and it shows a pattern.
If they were doing it in 63, what are they doing now?
I just don't think.
Go ahead.
You know what's interesting is if you ask those questions, there are some people, and to be clear, these people largely exist in the media and they're largely, in my opinion, bad actors.
But when you have someone that instead of answering the question and having a respectful dialogue, tries to discredit something as a conspiracy theory or tries to gaslight you into thinking that you should not be asking the question that's when you know that they're hiding something right so in my opinion you have i've talked to many democrats very many well-known democrats that are just like we want in on this commission or on this task force because we have questions and it just doesn't sit right with
look um this this entire task force i don't believe that this would be possible had president trump not gotten into office had our cia director not been confirmed had there not be been people placed in positions of power that are true ideologues like you and I?
You know, to be clear, I think that also Marco Rubio is going to play a part at
the Secretary of State's office.
I think that there are going to be many people in some of these investigations that will at least give us access to whatever information.
Look, we've asked to declassify everything that I listed.
in that press conference, COVID-19 origins, 9-11 files.
I mean, look at what just came out yesterday.
We find out that the FBI was what, basically ordering lunch for someone that was working with the pilots that crashed the planes into the Twin Towers.
I mean, that's ridiculous.
And that's all just coming out now.
And so that's why we ask these questions on the 9-11 files.
How could have it prevented?
How much did the government truly know?
I mean, look, I could care less if people think I'm crazy for doing this.
I can tell you that I am joined by many high-profile people in Congress to include Democrats that have the same questions.
And so we're not going to stop.
Jeffrey Epstein, when's that coming out?
Well, I have a letter out to Pam Bondi.
I know that Cash has been supportive of it, and so hopefully, once they're confirmed, previously they said that the Epstein list could not be released.
This is, mind you, under Biden, Department of Justice,
because there was an open case, right?
And that's what they kept pointing to.
But you're even hearing that Pam Bondi, even before she was confirmed, that she was actually calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list.
So we are pushing for it.
We sent the go ahead.
Will
Pam and uh
uh and cash be the ones to make the decision we're going to release it or does it have they will be the ones yes they'll be the ones um again i'm going off of what we were told in previous administrations but look they were saying that there was an open investigation so i believe that pam has the authority to release that and look i don't believe that any of that should have been classified if there are people that were doing bad things we should know about it
it's unbelievable i mean radical transparency, it is the only thing that will heal our nation, is if we deal with all of the corruption that we've been dealing with, that we know has happened.
And if we can get an honest look, you know, maybe
the Warren Commission was right.
I don't know.
But we should be able to know that and look at the evidence for ourselves.
Yes.
All of the evidence.
All of the evidence without protecting anybody.
Anna, thank you.
It's got to be, I mean, what was it like to be, did you get the call from the president?
And how did this work?
So initially, in full transparency, this was actually supposed to, the task force looked a little bit different, and I chose to expand it because even our investigators said, you know, there's a lot here if we're truly, our absolute objective is to begin, you know, restoring trust in the relationship with the American people.
We have to go into these, you know, different theories, go into these cases cases and investigate and actually find the truth and then let the American people decide.
And I agree with them.
But also, Glenn, I think there was two other members that were potentially going to be taking over the initial task force.
And they turned it down because
there was a climate of fear that it was considered dangerous territory.
And what I will tell you is I do not believe that it's dangerous territory because we have the 800-pound girl in the White House and our allies and the intelligence agencies that are pushing for this transparency.
So it's not just one person.
I think where you had previous historical events that occurred, it was one person that was leading up the charge.
But when it's a group effort pushing for this, it's a systematic change that occurs.
And so, in my opinion, I think I'm going to be okay.
But
a lot of people, I had a reporter that called me actually, a very well-known reporter from Fox News yesterday said, you know, it's interesting, but a lot of the people, one of the initial reporters that had reported that there were three shots heard at the GFK assassination,
won the prize for writing, and he actually committed suicide several years later.
So, you know, stuff like that has happened in the past, and I just am in the perspective and belief that right now we have a very small window of time to bring true change.
You see everything happening with USAID.
Mike Benz is uncovering a lot.
Elon Musk is uncovering a lot.
But there's a lot of good people that are really cleaning the system.
You saw, what, 40,000 federal employees resign or not resign, resign but chose to leave the workforce.
So you're seeing a big change happen.
And I'm not saying that this is a complete fix, but it definitely is going to change, I think, our country long term and historically.
And I'll also tell you this one.
Yesterday, after we made the announcement, I saw a massive orchestrated campaign, specifically coming from a lot of other pages that had typically been political on social media, that were trying to discredit what I was saying about potential witnesses and trying to spin it.
And the reason why they were doing it is because the Warren Commission presented a faulty theory on the single bullet, the magic bullet theory.
To think that that was how Kennedy was taken out and then hit the Texas governor.
I mean, that's a whole thing in it.
Well, they were saying nobody's alive.
So who are you going to?
True.
Well, first of all, I wasn't necessarily saying
I was using the Warren Commission as an example of the commissions that have been set up or the hearings that have been set up.
But who we are actually looking to subpoena, I don't want to say their names yet, or we're not going to even
at Bethesda in the room during the 8 p.m.
autopsy that the military did.
Individuals that were on the assassination board that did not agree with the findings initially and with the new evidence coming out, I think that they are going to make great witnesses, and plus they were government employees, so they should pass backgrounds.
And then there's another individual who's going to be very key and I think resetting the narrative on Kennedy.
Interesting.
Anna, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
Just
know, and you sound like you are, you know exactly what you're walking into.
There's a new
stat out this morning.
Over three times more people in DC are Googling criminal defense lawyer than anywhere else in the U.S.
right now.
So you got a lot of people who are freaking out.
Keep up the good work.
God bless you.
Thank you.
Thank you for your support.
