The podcast reaches a larger audience through radio than through television, and Birch Gold is a sponsor that offers a way to protect savings from inflation through physical gold and silver ownership.

FBI's shift in core values raises concerns: The FBI's prioritization of political enforcement over constitutional respect, as indicated by a suspended whistleblower, could signal a flawed mission or a sinister shift in goals, undermining the organization's primary mission to protect the US Constitution
The FBI's shift in core values, moving rigid obedience to the Constitution from the first priority to the bottom, raises concerns about the organization's mission and execution. Suspended FBI whistleblower Kyle Serifen brought this to light, expressing disappointment in the FBI's actions that seem to prioritize political enforcement over constitutional respect. This change in values, which occurred around 2020, could indicate a flawed mission statement or a more sinister shift in the organization's goals. The implications of this change are significant, as the FBI's primary mission is to protect and uphold the United States Constitution. This revelation adds to the ongoing crisis of faith in the FBI and raises questions about its commitment to its core principles.
FBI's shift towards intelligence gathering: The FBI has prioritized intelligence missions like counter-terrorism, foreign intelligence, espionage, and cyber operations, leading to open investigations without criminal allegations and concerns about privacy infringement.
The FBI, which was once known for its role in law enforcement and investigating crimes, has significantly shifted its focus towards intelligence gathering and open investigations post-9/11. This change has led to concerns about the potential for unwarranted surveillance and the infringement of civil liberties. The FBI's priorities now include protecting the US from terrorist attacks and foreign intelligence, espionage, and cyber operations, which are all intelligence missions. These cases can be open indefinitely without any allegation of criminality, and individuals may not even be aware that they are under investigation. While some view the FBI's actions as necessary for national security, others see it as a departure from its traditional role and a threat to individual privacy. The shift in the FBI's mission and methods has sparked intense debate and raises important questions about the balance between security and individual rights.
The role of individual compliance in the Holocaust: Individuals, including law enforcement agents, must question unlawful or immoral orders and uphold personal values, even if it goes against the status quo.
The compliance of individuals, even those in positions of power like law enforcement agents, played a significant role in the Holocaust. This history serves as a reminder for everyone, including current law enforcement agents, to question orders that seem unlawful or immoral and not simply follow them out of compliance or fear of consequences. The speaker emphasized the importance of asking questions, doing research, and being aware of the larger context before taking action. The challenge is that this can be difficult for those who have been in an organization for a long time and have become accustomed to its ways. The speaker also mentioned the importance of personal values and the responsibility of law enforcement agents to uphold them, even if it means going against the status quo.

Serifin, who is a former FBI agent, made this prediction during an interview on Dan Bongino's show. He emphasized that it's essential for people to make their decisions based on their conscience and not be swayed by external factors like financial stability. Serifin's story is a reminder of the importance of standing up for what's right, even if it means facing significant hardships. The interview also touched upon the need to revamp the FBI and the weaponization of law enforcement agencies against political opponents. Overall, Serifin's message was one of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to stay strong in their convictions and not be deterred by adversity.
Weaponization of FBI and DOJ against American citizens based on political beliefs: The politicization of law enforcement agencies poses a threat to American democracy, chilling free speech and impartial justice.
The FBI and Department of Justice have been weaponized against American citizens based on their political beliefs, a development that is both dangerous and reminiscent of past injustices in US history. Leo Terrell, a civil rights attorney and frequent guest on the show, expressed his concern over this issue, drawing parallels to historical instances of targeting based on race or religion. He emphasized the importance of impartiality in law enforcement and warned of the chilling effect this politicization could have on average citizens. The targeting of a pro-life activist by the FBI serves as a recent example of this trend, and the lack of action from the FBI leadership is causing growing alarm.
FBI and DOJ Compromised: Restoring Integrity: The politicization and weaponization of the FBI and DOJ threaten the legal system. Effective leadership with a deep understanding of law enforcement processes is necessary to address these issues and restore integrity.

They argue that effective leadership with a deep understanding of law enforcement processes is necessary to address the issues within these organizations. Confirming a new FBI director with experience and knowledge in this area could potentially uncover hidden issues and help restore the integrity of these institutions. It's crucial to win the White House and undo the Democrats' legislative damage while ensuring the right supermajority to confirm a qualified candidate for the FBI director position.

Securing the U.S. border is a critical issue that requires immediate attention from the Biden administration.

The border crisis is a major concern for a large portion of the population and could be a significant issue in upcoming elections. The current administration's open border policies have led to chaos and negative consequences, as seen in the Martha's Vineyard incident. To address this, experts suggest declaring an emergency, making border crossings illegal, and implementing stricter enforcement measures.
