TRANSCRIPT: So what's up, everybody? Let's do an emergency video. So I woke up this morning to the news that John Bolton's house had been raided for classified information. Now, let me give you a bit of a history on this. Obviously, Donald Trump with his Mar-a-Lago thing had all this classified information. The FBI knew about it. They had proof.
They asked Donald Trump for a year to allow them to come in and get that information. He denied he had it, and then they had evidence that he moved the classified information away from them. So that's why they, after a year of trying, ended up executing a search warrant in Mar-a-Lago, and he ultimately got indicted for this.
Now, he's been stewing on this. Oh, so angry because Donald Trump is always a victim. He's never done anything wrong in his life. The whiniest victim ever. So anyway, he convinced his minions that this was all a witch hunt. And so now John Bolton, who has embarrassed Trump repeatedly because he's talked about how weak he is,
how weak he is in foreign policy, how much he doesn't understand anything. And by the way, so people will say, well, Bolton was lying. I was in the room with one of Bolton's comments about Donald Trump with Syria and stuff where he said, like, I don't care what happens in Syria.
It doesn't have oil, you know, and some other things that I was present for. But including China ZTE, when Donald Trump was asking us, there was about probably 20 of us in the room, to take China Telecom ZTE off of basically the sanctions list to the National Defense Authorization Act. Donald Trump denies that.
I was there for that, regardless. So he's mad because John Bolton made him look stupid, and in the last few weeks, John Bolton has been saying the truth about Trump in Ukraine that everybody, including the world, knows, which is Alaska was a disaster. There's not a person in the world, by the way,
and there's not a person in the administration that you would put on CIA truth juice that would tell you that Alaska was in any way beneficial to the United States. In fact, it was one of the most embarrassing summits It almost was worse than Helsinki, I think even worse than Helsinki given the stakes.
So the FBI goes in, they go into John Bolton's house to look for classified security information because they're claiming that he had classified material because of writing his book. now let me be very clear look if they find classified information whatever they're not going to and they're not going to indict bolton they certainly are not going to
convict him okay what this is is intimidation they can control the actions of the fbi they cannot control yet the actions of the courts so they can control the FBI doing search raids. Now, yes, you have to go to a court to get a warrant. That is really easy to do.
You just prove any kind of suspicion and find a friendly court and you get a warrant. Courts very rarely, honestly, if ever, reject warrant requests from the federal government. So this is the message. is simply the raid. How do we know that? Well, because as it was going down,
old bug-eyes McGee Kash Patel put out a statement with, no one is above the law, which is, by the way, mirroring the exact language of what people were saying when Donald Trump got arrested. No one is above the law. Why? Because we don't have kings in this country.
So Kash Patel was doing that to mock the language of arresting Donald Trump. So what does that mean? It means that this is simply a retribution for arresting Donald Trump. And so the raid is the message. And what it's meant to do is, yes, it's meant to try to intimidate Bolton,
who I'm gonna tell you will not be intimidated. It's meant to intimidate the rest of us that have somehow said bad words against Trump because of his fragile ego and his hurt feelings. It's meant to try to intimidate us. We're not gonna be intimidated. I'm sure, look,
I'm sure there are some people out there that are intimidated and being quiet. I think of various military leaders that I don't hear from anymore. Very disappointing, by the way, that they just decided to go quiet because they need to get their contracts with whatever defense agency. But the rest of us will not be intimidated.
This isn't intimidating. The FBI comes to my house, okay, cool. I know that there's nothing you can actually indict me on and convict me on, so enjoy my house. It's a pretty nice house, so come on. And this is the point, is this is meant as a message of intimidation. Now, to everybody out there that, you know,
has been kind of quiet on the sidelines. And it's probably not most people watching this because most of you all understand what's happening in this country. But for the rest of you that understand it, particularly those in positions of prominence that understand this and aren't saying anything, you are responsible. You're responsible. You know,
it's like every new thing that happens, everybody's like, oh, gosh, I never thought it could happen here. Well, it is. So what are you going to do about it? You're going to stay quiet? You're going to say something. Now, look, it's going to be frustrating because still over the next year and a half,
there's not a lot that can be done besides getting this voice out, getting our message out, educating the American people about what's happening. And again, to my Democratic friends, get a message. I don't know what your message is. So please get a message. the Big Beautiful Bill, economy, whatever is effective,
because you guys have to win the majority, and if you don't, God help us, really. That's the thing, if the Democrats don't take the majority, God help us. Now, to the Republicans out there, the so-called moderate good guys who tweet sometimes, and they go on CNN, or MS, and they sound like decent people, and boy,
they're concerned with the Big Beautiful Bill, even though they voted for it, or have concerns, to those people, It's time to speak up or quit trying to pretend like you're normal. Quit trying to pretend like you're on the good guy side. I don't care what you tweet.
If you have power, I don't care what news station you go on. What I care about is what do you do with the power you have? Are you going to make a decision to shut down every bill that's the administration's priority until they adhere to the rule of law?
Or are you going to continue to go with it because you don't want to get those text messages from your friends? We all had a choice to make. You're making a choice. Again, I don't care how moderate you appear. You have a choice right now. If you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill, and by the way,
credit to Fitzpatrick out of Pennsylvania who voted against it because of principle. The rest of y'all, if you voted for it, fine. It's your right to vote for it. But... You know, you do the thing where you're like, oh, I don't like it, but I voted for it because whatever reason. Okay, this is different.
This is what's happening to your country and your grandkids and your kids will judge you for this moment. Because here's what I firmly believe. There is not a soul in the world and in America that in 10 years will ever admit they supported Donald Trump. And so it will be seen as 100% universal that Trump was awful.
and your name will be emblazoned in the history books and you have to answer for that. Did you support him or not? Again, it's only a question you can answer. I'm not intimidated, I'm not gonna be intimidated, but I am fired up to defend this country right now. So this is a choice we have.
I know John Bolton's not intimidated. Whoever they pick next is not intimidated. Here's the one thing I think. This might be the raid that went too far for them, though, because there is, yeah, you're going to hear in the MAGAverse all the whataboutism with Donald Trump,
and I said at the very beginning of this video how completely asinine that is, and it's not the same thing, but the rest of America is going to look at that and go, yeah, that is politically motivated, and they're going to feel not right about it, and they're going to see what's happening in D.C.,
they're going to see what's happening in L.A., they're going to see the completely unqualified people in positions of power. And maybe this can be seen in history as the moment when people just said, yeah, this is too much. But to my people with any kind of a voice out there that haven't said anything, especially, you know,
my old Republican friends, it's on you. This is truly on you. You will own what the history books read. And you will own your last name in that narrative. So let's stick together, guys. Let this fire you up today. It fired me up. And let's keep fighting. We're in this together.

I’m terrified by America’s fascism trend and disgusted that my party is now a Trump cult. My time inside the system and in the probe of the January 6 attack has left me with just an ember of hope. Making it grow requires the hard truth. Can we handle it?
