1:43It's how you show up for your family, your community, and everyone else that depends

1:48on you. That's why for 125 years, Firestone has been building tires with one thing

1:54in mind. To deliver products that are as reliable as you are.

2:51There's definitely a civil war in MAGA right now.

2:55But I'm here to tell you it's bigger than a civil war in MAGA.

2:59There's actually an insurgency in the Republican Party.

3:02And it's coming from the top lobbying firm that controls the White House right now.

3:08Today on the David Rutherford Show.

3:20Welcome back to the show.

3:22It has been a pretty wild ride for the last, I don't know, couple weeks,

3:29huh, Jordy, where we are seeing just an absolute shit show when it comes to

3:38the MAGA coalition. Obviously, everybody's talking it.

3:43Everybody's picking their sides. And, you know, you've got the pro -Israel side.

3:48You've got the Tucker Carlson side.

3:52You've got the Nick Fuentes side.

3:54You've got the Dan Holloway side.

3:57You've got, you know, the people who love MAGA, the people who are libertarians.

4:03Man, and it's all these factions that have split apart, which I believe is what

4:11those that are at the real core of power want to actually happen.

4:16And based on my recent exploration and support of Joe Kent and his resignation, and

4:26I had the incredible opportunity a week ago Monday to spend most of the day

4:34with my best friend Sean Ryan and much of the day with Joe Kent discussing

4:39his decision, how it's impacting his family himself, and what his real, why he's doing

4:48this. And I'm telling you, based on what he shared with us, he's doing this

4:53because he does not want American young men and women to fight another endless war

5:03so that not only the Israelis, the current Israeli government can accomplish their task, of

5:12destabilizing the Middle East, which in all fairness, that would be a great thing for

5:17them. Unfortunately, they don't, they're not big enough and they don't have enough military strength

5:22in order to accomplish that alone.

5:24So they, they need our help.

5:25Which I don't think that's anti -Semitic or anything in any ways.

5:28It's just a tactical observation.

5:31On the flip side of that, there also, which I believe can be a much

5:35bigger reality taking place, is there is a core group inside this government, typically quantified

5:44as the Uniparty, the Swamp, the Blob, the Deep State, whatever you want to call

5:50it. That group of people are pretty connected to all of the things that you're

5:57seeing going on. Now, why would they do that?

6:01Well, because what they want is they want the old status quo to stay in

6:06place. They want the ability to have a system that continuously makes them rich and

6:15richer and more powerful and gain more clout in every capacity.

6:20And I had a good friend of mine that informed me as to where I

6:30should start paying attention. And that is the K Street lobbying firm known as Ballard

6:40Partners. Now, this one hit home for me because this is basically originated as a

6:47Florida -based lobbying firm. Obviously, I live in Florida.

6:52I grew up in Florida.

6:53I've paid attention to Florida politics probably back from the time of the Reagan days,

7:00certainly since Bush senior days, obviously, when the first Gulf War kicked off.

7:07But, you know, this is what's taking place, I believe.

7:12I believe it's it's not necessarily.

7:14Yes, there are ideological differences between people who believe taking Iran out is a necessity.

7:22And most certainly, I agree that if they were to have nuclear weapons, they would

7:30definitely be an imminent threat.

7:31Also, I agree that the recent missile attack towards Diego Garcia gave us a much

7:38more profound insight as to their long range capabilities.

7:42Do I believe they have the ability to reach Europe or would hit Europe with

7:49ballistic missiles that had nuclear payloads on them or the United States?

7:54No, I don't believe that at all, based on what Joe Kent has said, based

8:00upon his reporting as the head of the National Counterterrorism Center, also based on the

8:06recent testimony of Tulsi Gabbard in front of Congress saying that Iran is no imminent

8:12threat. Where we do have threats, obviously, is Russia, which is still active in a

8:18war that we are still funding billions of dollars for Ukraine to fight this war.

8:25And also with China, obviously, there is a continued presence around Taiwan and a lot

8:33of statements that are suggesting that the whatever is going to happen, maybe not imminent,

8:39but it's it's on on the table and most certainly will happen eventually, as is

8:46their stated observation that Taiwan has always been a part of China.

8:51And if you go back to the Biden administration to Jake Sullivan, as well as

8:57the secretary of state, both said it is not in America's interest to disrupt that

9:04unity. So is there an insurgency going on in the Republican Party?

9:12And I believe it is.

9:15How do you think politicians get elected?

9:18Right. And I think the obvious answer is, well, you and I, we go to

9:24the ballot box, we we get in there.

9:26And for just one second, I'm going to suspend all my existing information that I

9:33understand about the 2020 election, which, by the way, none of that has been righted.

9:39None of any of the shows that I've had with Garland Favarito, Dave Clements, Sean

9:47Smith, all these interviews I've done, which have categorically proven that our justice systems, Ralph

9:53Pazzullo, who wrote the book Stolen Election.

9:55I'm just going to sit that over here for right now, that our election systems

10:00are completely fucked, if you ask me.

10:03And and they have proven it.

10:06Put that over here. The idea is that you and I go to the polls

10:09and based on the information we receive through social media or through mainstream media, or

10:16we go to a big CPAC events or whatever events are watching Democrats and what

10:22they're putting forward that we cultivate and understanding based on our belief systems of what

10:28we stand for, which, you know, is, is America remaining the preeminent power in the

10:33world, American justice system being functional and user.

10:38We've got a great capitalist system that doesn't get rid of the middle class.

10:43And is this, you know, is all about the working man and keeping taxes low

10:49and and really, you know, no.

10:52radical ideology in our educational system right and basically people can do what you want

10:59to do make a living raise your kids and and live a great life in

11:03the greatest country that's ever lived that's essentially what we want to believe but the

11:08unfortunate reality is the the there are people who get people elected and those are

11:16lobbying firms right because lobbying firms represent foreign governments massive corporations uh their own interests

11:27um and any other type of special interest out there and how does it work

11:33well um they get behind uh certain candidates that will support their clientele's interest uh

11:42they fund those interests through packs and super packs and through your regular donations hell

11:48if if you remember the big piece that james o 'keefe did uh back in

11:52the day about act blue uh act blue ended up appears allegedly appears to be

11:58uh uh overseas funding uh hidden in all these teeny donors for act blue you

12:05know the the millions and millions of old people and young people barely get by

12:10who send five dollars ten dollars through the organization well guess what uh his investigation

12:16alleges that you have massive foreign influence as well as as influence from uh monster

12:24ngos that are sponsored by foreign billionaires okay we know that and and i'm sure

12:29if you're a conservative like i am you would say yeah absolutely george soros is

12:35manipulating elections what we realize is there are are a lot of external influences that

12:44push pressure on politicians and then once they get in office what happens uh they

12:50the politicians basically come in and say all right we're going to reward these lobbying

12:57firms and the clients they represent with massive government contracts uh as well as access

13:05to uh the the different political offices they sought access to and you know and

13:11that that's at the state level that's at local levels that's at uh uh the

13:17federal level hell just here where i live recently there was a massive uh real

13:22estate developers that were lobbying our local city council in order for them to destroy

13:28uh a downtown recreational park area so they could build these monster uh condominium skyscrapers

13:35right and the city fought back and got rid of them well imagine that's a

13:40couple hundred million dollars what we're dealing with is trillions and trillions of dollars so

13:47who is the firm that has control or maybe that's a little extreme maybe a

13:55huge influence in the white house right now and that's ballard partners all right so

14:03you know the the other thing that kind of caught me out my eye and

14:09why i've gone down this road is because as the war kicked off in the

14:15beginning polymarket posted has been posting a sequence between marco rubio and jd vance right

14:25and what it shows is the little lines like this jd vance was was tracking

14:31and uh you know was dominating the future of the maga republican party maga party

14:36well then it started shrinking after especially after venezuela and marco rubio's coming up right

14:42doing great job as secretary of state and then all of a sudden iran war

14:48kicks off and jd vance starts marco rubio passes him and then a recent one

14:53jd vance has basically fallen off a cliff now why would jd vance's numbers be

15:01dropping profoundly well some people seem to think that jd vance has is being pushed

15:10out because of some some many of his populist sentiments about america wanting to be

15:16more america first in his ideology whereas marco rubio who many would say and i'm

15:24going to kind of explain why i believe this have has been a traditional kind

15:29of you know republican party guy ever since he came into politics and the donors

15:36and many articles have shown that the donors absolutely think he's phenomenal and if you

15:42listen to my recent show with eric schwamm uh the former uh green beret cw4

15:49chief warrant officer for uh he described an actual insurgency taking place in the political

15:56movement that's going on right now now i know that's a lot of information for

16:01you to digest right now let me break it down for you okay there's uh

16:06an insurgency taking place and the movement that we used to believe was a maga

16:13coalition right that is what has happened as many populists uh you you Supporters of

16:21that, influencers from Tucker Carlson to Sean Ryan to Megyn Kelly to a lot of

16:29different people have begun to broke away, but most primarily as it relates to the

16:34Iran war. But they're also noticing a division internally as well, too.

16:39Then you've got the other side of the house that says these people are anti

16:43-Israel, they're anti -Trump, they're traitors, they don't believe in the Republican Party anymore.

16:49And you can go back to Pence, you can go back to all the anti

16:55-Trumpers that have been out there, Ryan, Pence, Kevin McCormick, all these people that have

17:03basically, we've seen, were not what it would come across as genuinely supportive of Trump.

17:12Now, there's another reason for that.

17:14It's not just the Iranian war.

17:17The other reason behind that I want you to get focused on is a lot

17:21of people believe, I included, that a lot of the campaign promises that were made

17:26during the 24 cycle, no new wars, right?

17:31Close the border, which they've done, which is catastrophically dropped homicide, violence, high rates of

17:39violence across the country because you're getting rid of all the violent criminals or they're

17:44being quiet right now and they're shutting things down.

17:47Shut down cartels, shut down human trafficking, shut down fentanyl across the border, right?

17:52Targeting cartels as international terrorist organizations.

17:55If I was in a cartel and I'm doing illegal stuff and I'm watching speed,

18:00random speed boats blow up, I'm going to cease operations.

18:03And what we've seen the result of that, Guadalajara broke out recently and, you know,

18:09the cartels fighting back against the Mexican government, which we're putting an exorbitant amount of

18:14pressure on to dilute this.

18:15All right, so then the other aspect and the big ones, right, the Epstein files.

18:21With all the millions of documents with directly correlated concepts that would provoke a significant

18:31investigation, right, with their names redacted, we have seen nothing taking place.

18:38Not one follow -up. I mean, maybe they're doing it.

18:41We just don't know. Nothing.

18:42The other big one we saw is Doge, right?

18:47Yes, Doge is still running a little bit and cleaning up here and there.

18:49But the huge impact, right, the USAID, which they came out of the gate, we're

18:54like, yeah, more. Put them in the Department of Defense, all that, right?

18:58Nope. That all seems to be ending.

19:01Why? Because funding, because lobbying firms, because support, right?

19:08That's all correlated. And then I think really the last one is the reality that

19:18we were going to address the election systems, that Trump was guaranteed that the election

19:24was stolen from him. So why is that not the primary reality of what's taking

19:31place for the DOJ? Because if the election systems are stolen, then we're screwed forever.

19:37It doesn't matter. The uniparty will always get who it wants to be in office,

19:42right? Who will continue the same old system, the same old reality.

19:47So that's a big part of why the split has taken place, right?

19:52And that's what the result of the insurgency that's taking place.

19:57Now, why is this so critical to understand who Ballard Partner is and why, all

20:03right? New year, new goals.

20:05So why drive the same old way?

22:47Military University. Who is Ballard Partners?

22:51All right. Ballard Partners is the number one lobbying firm in America right now, right?

22:58In 2025, they brought in $88 .1 million with 350 clients.

23:07They have offices on three continents, including, ready for this, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Saudi Arabia,

23:19and Nigeria. All right? Now, I'll go down the international stuff here in a little

23:24bit. Now, here's the other thing.

23:27Before Trump was elected in 2016, this firm had zero federal clients.

23:34It was a Florida state operation, and Trump's presidency has turned it into the most

23:42powerful lobbying firm in Washington, D .C.

23:45Now, the firm's founder, Brian Ballard, raised $50 million for Trump's 2024 campaign, right?

23:56And he's been the Florida finance chair, right?

24:01The Florida finance chair for every single GOP presidential nominee since 2008, right?

24:10Now, here's the kicker to this, and then we'll get into more of a deep

24:14dive, right? The two most, one of, two of the most powerful people in Trump's

24:21cabinet, the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and

24:27think about what I just laid out before this, Attorney General Pam Bondi, both came

24:33from Ballard Partners. Now, that's not a coincidence.

24:38That's a pipeline of influence.

24:41All right. Let's get into the deep dive of this, all right?

24:48All right. Who is Ballard Partners?

24:50So, Ballard Partners was founded by Brian Ballard and Jim Smith back in 1998.

25:02Now, Jim Smith was Brian's father -in -law, who was also the former Florida Secretary

25:11of State, right? So, they have been entrenched in Florida politics since prior to the

25:182000 election. Now, Florida, a long time ago, was a very democratic state, right?

25:25And we've since flipped that, but it was always kind of a swing state for

25:28many, many, many years. In fact, you go back to the old Jim Crow days,

25:32Florida was pretty abysmal on its civil rights record.

25:35And at one time, it had more civil rights bombings than anywhere else, right?

25:40So, the transition of Florida into a Republican state is only really a recent thing.

25:48All right. Now, Ballard entered into politics as the chief of staff for Florida Governor

25:55Bob Martinez at the age of 26.

25:58Now, think about how young that is to become someone's chief of staff.

26:02That's a remarkable, remarkable accomplishment.

26:05And they used to call him the brat savant of Florida politics.

26:10In a 1990 profile. He also has connections to Lee Atwater.

26:15All right. He has co -chaired gubernatorial inaugurations for Charlie Chris, Rick Scott, and Ron

26:24DeSantis. All right. All right.

26:26This is a guy who doesn't care what faction of the party he works with,

26:31right? He just wants to be with whoever's going to win, right?

26:36And that's why you talk about gubernatorial inaugurations, right?

26:39As soon as the winner comes out, he jumps in.

26:41I want to fund. I want to be a part of it.

26:43We're botched. We got you.

26:44We're behind you. All right.

26:46Now, here are some other politicians, right?

26:48Just so you know. And again, every time I'm talking, think back to Susie Wiles

26:52and Pam Bondi. They have worked with the Florida.

26:57They were the Florida finance chair for John McCain in 2008, for Mitt Romney in

27:042012. They were a senior advisor to Jeb Bush and gave $20 ,000 to his

27:13super, his PAC in 2015.

27:14$20 ,000. $20 ,000. right that's for the 2016 elections i .e not trump but

27:23hold on it gets better mark rubio right they switch from jeb bush after he

27:29got annihilated by trump in the primaries uh in the in the main um debate

27:36that they had where he basically if you've forgotten that's where trump basically calls jeb

27:42bush out in the bush family dynasty as warmongers and how it was the bush

27:47family dynasty that got us into the iraq war which was the worst thing that

27:52we've ever done that's the same guy wanting to go to war in iran now

27:55or is it him or is it his influences right right remember right politicians yes

28:05they come across and tell you what you want to hear but at many times

28:09they're telling you what you want to hear to get your vote but it's the

28:12influencing the money the lobbying the foreign countries the foreign influence that's behind them when

28:19they actually go to uh um governing uh in this domestic and international um environment

28:28all right marco rubio they switched from bush to rubio in november 2015 calling him

28:35a friend quote and quote a bright star of the party's future end quote that's

28:42critical to remember right now right and then they went to donald trump and they

28:47were his florida finance chair 2016 2020 and 2024 let me repeat that jeb bush

28:56senior advisor in 2015 switch to marco rubio in november 2015 november 2015 and then

29:07were financial chair in florida for trump in 2016 make that make sense right remember

29:16you want it to be us versus them they want it for us to be

29:24us versus them but them doesn't matter which side of the aisle you're on they

29:31just want to gain more power and more wealth and i'm going to prove that

29:35to you right now all right um so when you think about the shift from

29:45bush to rubio to trump it it ballard partners it wasn't they didn't leave rubio

29:52because they didn't believe in them they left rubio because trump won and that's what

29:57these people do they seek out the center of power in order to gain access

30:02to the inner circle because in politics access is everything right because when you have

30:10access and then influence then you can manipulate decisions that benefit you and your clients

30:18i .e. you can become the number one lobbying firm in america with an annual

30:25revenue last year of 88 .1 million dollars with 350 clients right think about how

30:31that works all right now here are some uh of the foreign governments that they've

30:38been registered with all right um they've been registered uh with they and they have

30:49they've been registered with qatar currently where they make a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars

30:55a month uh they're registered with turkey uh it doesn't say monthly fee but it

31:51which is crypto reynolds america menthol cigarettes republic services which is waste deliverable and swisher

32:00international which is flavored tobacco now just a couple key facts about some of those

32:05right ballard's firm helped reynolds america convinced trump to withdraw a proposed ban on menthol

32:12cigarettes and after bmw hired ballard their import tariffs dropped 12 .5 percentage points and

32:22after nippon steel hired ballard they their blocked 15 billion dollar acquisition of u .s

32:30steel was finalized uh this is what 88 million dollars annually will buy you all

32:38right again man it's not you and your neighbor you Right?

32:44It's not you and your neighbor that you're fighting with over some social issues or

32:49some potential geostrategic relationships or what you think, right?

32:56You have to realize they want us fighting each other every single day.

33:01They want to quell populist movements because populist movements are directed towards serving you and

33:07I. That's what they want to do.

33:10They want to stop the service to us, fixing our infrastructure, right?

33:15Improving our lives, right? Improving job opportunities, making sure homes are available.

33:24Again, that's a little tough because it's a capitalistic society.

33:26But again, look at the overwhelming reality of massive asset management firms buying up single

33:34family homes. But what they want to do is they want to support – they

33:40want to actively inhibit our voice to the things that we really believe in order

33:48to fulfill what they want.

33:50All right. Now, some of the international – I want to get back to that

33:54international stuff because as you – if you're interested and I recommend go use some

34:00AI device, Grok or Claude or whatever it is, and start to seek out the

34:05money connections internationally, all right?

34:09All right, and then or go to where these firms are located and see if

34:13any local news sources has written articles about what they're doing in their country or

34:18what they're advocating for. So again, they have offices in Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Turkey, Abuja

34:26and Laogos, Nigeria, right? The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Riyadh, right?

34:33And then they also have operations in multiple cities all across the United States.

34:38Now, here's another interesting thing that popped up in our research, right?

34:44They have their own offices and they have their global alliances and partnerships, right?

34:51So, you know, it has its own – Ballard Partners does not have its own

34:58privately staffed offices in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Australia.

35:03Instead, it operates through the Ballard Global Alliance, the BGA, and has a network of

35:10exclusive partnerships with other firms that provide on -the -ground capabilities without directed Ballard -branded

35:18offices, right? So what do you do?

35:21You backdoor relationships with massive lobbying firms in these areas so it covers whatever it

35:27is you're trying to lobby for those relationships.

35:29All right, in Europe, partnerships with Forward Global in Paris and Brussels and additional mentions

35:37of London and Abidjan in the same coverage.

35:41The United Kingdom, S -A -B -I, strategic group out of London, Japan, Coyote PR

35:48in Tokyo, South Korea, the GR company, Latin America, S -Safidis Group, S -FERA in

35:56Brazil and Sao Paulo, Global Nexus in Mexico, S -ZERTA in Chile and Peru, in

36:02Italy, the MAIM Group, in Australia, TG Public Affairs.

36:09All right, again, to imagine that this small little Florida firm who is the number

36:17one lobby firm in the world is not outside internationally trying to influence global influence

36:24on the inner workings of Trump's focus and what's coming across his desk, right?

36:30Because it's not Trump sitting out there going, oh, I want in Turkey to help

36:37this or in, you know, in, I don't know, Yugoslavia, I want to do this

36:44or in Argentina, I want to do this.

36:46No, he has a circle of people around him, right, his aides, immediate aides, his

36:52inner workings, Susie Weil's staff, and what they do is they siphon or filter everything

36:59out that gets to the president's desk for his attention.

37:03That's why staff is so critical when you're in the White House, the White House

37:08staff, the chief of staff is the gatekeeper to everything.

37:11And that's exactly, I think, what Joe Kent was assuming as in some of the

37:19statements he said, but he just never said it, right?

37:21I'm alleging that that's what I believe might have been happening, right?

37:26There's a certain funnel, not that she's actively going against Joe Kent, but just that

37:31there's a funnel of information that gets to the president and why specifically, we don't

37:37know. But what we do know is we could extrapolate out of the influence of

37:41what Ballard Partners is integrating in, what's getting, what's being forced or what's being offered

37:48as to be relevant things that the president should focus on.

37:53All right. I know, I got, I hear you behind in your mind right now,

38:02in my voice, you're like, God dang, right?

38:05But that's, what the heck?

38:07I mean, this is so much, this is so much.

38:11information. It's so intense. What am I supposed to do with it?

38:14Well, just hold on. Let me blow your mind completely now.

38:18All right. I'm going to drill down on these now.

38:22And specifically, I'm going to talk about Susie Wiles, Pam Bondi and Marco Rubio.

38:27All right. Now, again, I just want to say there are some things that I

38:34think the Trump administration is doing well.

38:37I love that there is some doge going out.

38:41I dig that. I wish that would expand back to the level and size it

38:44was. I do love the buildup of the U .S.

38:48military. I'm not a fan of anything beyond these strategic strikes in Iran and decimating

38:54their nuclear program. I am an absolute fan of shutting the border down and removing

39:00violent criminals. I'm kind of on the fence where with the guy, ICE agents in

39:08the street coming down and hammering people, that's one of the things that's always kind

39:16of challenging is that fine line between being a jackboot and working with the population

39:24to do it. Now, I do recognize the level of corruption in many of these

39:28areas and the protection of the existing governments to allow open borders.

39:32So that's a very complicated issue.

39:34I am a fan of, you know, re -industrializing America.

39:41So external corporate donate or country donations, particularly from the Gulf states, sending us money

39:50so we can build new chip plant manufacturers or new car manufacturers.

39:56You know, I, and I am absolutely a fan of designating any cartel as a

40:06terrorist organization and, and, and, and to minimizing or disrupting their ability to operate.

40:11So, cause I think that's one of the primary dangers of what we face on

40:14the street. And I'm also a fan of going after radicals that have come into

40:19our country through the Biden administration.

40:22Absolutely. You go head over tails and hunt those suckers down because, you know, as

40:27we just reported recently in our, one of our episodes, the new threat paradigm, there

40:32is a massive rise and radicalization of people and violence, political violence and social violence.

40:38So yeah, go after them all day long.

40:41However, you cannot stop the political gamesmanship from taking place.

40:47That's politics. That's why it's such a dirty business.

40:49So let me just inform you, right?

40:53And you make the decision about the people that are closest to Trump.

40:56All right. So Susie Wiles, chief of staff, she was a Ballard lobbyist from 2011

41:04to 2019. That's eight years.

41:07She represented over 40 clients.

41:10Ballard personally introduced her to Trump for the 2016 Florida campaign.

41:15Uh, I, I have some insight during that in, um, in terms of the Palm

41:21beach County campaign, uh, and some other things.

41:24And what I will tell you is that it seemed like that campaign was pretty

41:29poorly run if you asked me.

41:31Um, and there was not a lot of support on great ground ground game or

41:36really going after a strategic initiatives in certain counties, uh, in the area, uh, i

41:43.e. Palm beach County, Broward, Miami Dade, which have staunchly been democratic for many, many

41:49years, um, and creating a good ground game.

41:52She was in charge of that and they just kind of let that go.

41:55Um, so that was my first introduction of ever hearing that name.

42:00All right. She ran Trump's Florida campaign that defeated Rubio, uh, in 16 in his

42:06home state and then stayed at Ballard to help open the DC office.

42:11So she was instrumental in taking Ballard from a Florida regional state lobbying firm into

42:19DC to becoming the number one lobbying firm in America.

42:24All right. Now she was also a registered foreign agent.

42:29So she was a fair, she was registered with Farah, right.

42:33For, um, Nigeria. She also labored for Swisher international, uh, and Pebble partnership.

42:42Um, and there's some accusations that she was registered with Israel.

42:47Jordy, would you look that up right now, uh, and confirm whether she was or

42:51wasn't? I don't want to make a mistake and say that.

42:54Um, all right. She was also credited for Glenn Youngkin's 2021 Virginia win by strategically

43:04distancing him from Trump. That's in quotations, right?

43:09Right. Let me repeat that credited with Glenn Youngkin's 2021 Virginia win by quote, strategically

43:17distancing him from Trump and quote.

43:20And Youngkin is on. If you remember Eric Schwamm talking about the ORL, which is

43:26our Republican Legion, which is an anti -Trump return to the old Republican party.

43:32Um, that's who Youngkin is affiliated with.

43:35All right. So think about that.

43:382020. Hey, 20. Right. She's she's working with Trump in 2020.

43:41She switches over with to help support Youngkin to win, who's anti -Trump, distancing Trump,

43:49right, to come in and win that election, which he did.

43:51But again, guess what happened just this last year with Youngkin?

43:55He got demolished by a former CIA officer who now has gone in and basically

44:04is denigrating the Second Amendment in Virginia, as well as pretty much opening the doors

44:11for illegals again. Right. So, yeah, that's that's also what's happening.

44:17All right. And then go ahead.

44:20Who is it? I have I have Susie Wiles.

44:22Yeah, let me hear it.

44:24So what's confirmed is that Susie Wiles, the current White House chief of staff, worked

44:29briefly for Benjamin Netanyahu's 2020 campaign.

44:33She traveled to Jerusalem as part of a team dispatched by Trump to assist Netanyahu's

44:37Likud party. On the Farrah question, there's no public record of Susie Wiles registering under

44:43Farrah for that work. So that's so essentially no, but she did briefly work with

44:49Netanyahu's campaign. All right. So that's a critical thing to understand.

44:52Right. So Susie Wiles, who's been intimately involved with Trump from the beginning in 2020,

44:59flies over to support Netanyahu.

45:02Who, by the way, you know, again, he if if you believe that Israel is

45:12perpetually in an existential threat, which there's a lot of information that supports that that

45:19analysis. Analysis. Right. Netanyahu is the guy, obviously.

45:25Now, there are some things I haven't watched it, but I might.

45:28Tucker Carlson just came out with a program.

45:30There's a lot of other documentaries on Netanyahu.

45:33Netanyahu. If you do remember, prior to October 7th, there was a lot of uprising

45:38in the street against Netanyahu because he took the power away from the Supreme Court.

45:43So he's a very controversial figure.

45:45Right. But if you believe that there's Israel needs saving, Netanyahu has certainly done a

45:52tremendous amount in order to protect Israel, the state for sure.

45:57There's no denying that he is a wartime leader.

46:01But if Susie Weil, who worked for Ballard and flies over and supports Netanyahu in

46:08his campaign and did not register that with Farah.

46:14How do you get away with that?

46:16I don't understand that. Right.

46:17But again, there's there's more about that coming up here shortly.

46:22OK. Since she became chief of staff to Donald Trump, Ballard Partners has signed one

46:33hundred and thirty new clients, one hundred and thirty new clients, and their revenue has

46:38quadrupled. All right. All right.

46:42Now let's go to Pam Bondi.

46:44Ballard Partners, 2019 to 2025, lobbied for thirty clients, including Amazon, Uber, Geo Group, private

46:52pensions, ICE's largest contractor for thirty clients.

46:58She registered as a fair agent for Qatar at one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars

47:04per num and named in, quote, key personnel on the contract personally and substantially as

47:12personally and substantially as Gage.

47:14All right. All right. Left briefly to defend Trump during his first impeachment, by the

47:20way, which she did a fantastic job in that.

47:22I thought her presence and her ability to do that.

47:25I also thought she was a pretty decent attorney general at in Florida.

47:30So she's definitely capable. Again, I just I'm giving you the facts of what I

47:36learned going down this rabbit hole during the first.

47:40And she returned afterwards to resume for her Qatar lobbying.

47:46All right. On her first day as a G on February 5th, 2025, get this.

47:54She gutted Farrah enforcement. She limited criminal charges to only be evaluated as, in quotes,

48:04traditional espionage only. So the only way you were going to get criminally charged if

48:10there was a case made by either intelligence agencies brought information to the DOJ and

48:18it was traditional espionage, not criminal, traditional espionage.

48:23So basically, this disabled the foreign influence task force, right?

48:29Oh, no, I read that correctly.

48:31She disbanded the foreign influence task force that had been set up.

48:36This directly benefits firms like her former employer.

48:40That's obvious. All right. Lastly, she approved the $400 million luxury jet gift to Trump

48:49administration. Bondi was previously Qatar's registered lobbyist through the same firm that now benefits from

48:57reduced Farrah oversight. All right.

49:02So, you know, one of the interesting things about this.

49:06Well, thank you. whole thing with, with both Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi.

49:10Um, and, and again, um, in the game of politics, this is what you do.

49:16And, uh, the Democrats do it.

49:19All factions of the democratic party do it.

49:21You know, the old blue dog, Clinton Democrats to the new AOC, Bernie Sanders, Democrats

49:26or the Mondami, uh, old school Republicans do it.

49:31MAGA people do it. But everybody does it.

49:34That's my point. I'm not, I'm not pointing any one individual out.

49:39I'm just reading you what I found in the research I did, because I wanted

49:44to know just like you, this is how politics work.

49:49And in order for you to make good decisions, you have to understand the strategic

49:55nature of how these folks work.

49:57If you worked for a lobbying firm and made a million or $2 million a

50:02year, most likely you wouldn't care with all this stuff.

50:05You would be representing your clients as best as possible.

50:09That's how you make money.

50:10And what you would want to do is you'd want to, uh, um, uh, advocate

50:15at the highest level to the president for your clients in order to make your

50:19former friends or whatever more money.

50:22Because when you leave office, guess what?

50:25Is there a multi -million dollar job waiting for you back at the firm once

50:29you go back 100 % and you can just go all the way down the

50:33line, both sides of the house.

50:35And I'm going to get to that here in just a minute after I talk

50:37about Mr. Marco Rubio. All right.

50:42Again, just as a reminder in this, they're calling this the 2028 Rubio shift.

50:49All right. Um, and, um, to recall your memory back in 2015, Ballard called Rubio

50:56in quotations, a friend, and he also called him a bright star of the party's

51:01future, right? And only switched to Trump when Rubio lost Florida.

51:06Again, only switched to Trump when Rubio lost Florida.

51:11All right. Before we get into the next aspect of this madness right here, I

51:15just really want to, uh, uh, talk about how blessed we are to, uh, be

51:20sponsored by Black Rifle coffee.

51:22I've been a Black Rifle fan, uh, and supporter since the beginning, since Evan came

51:35just black that came out.

51:37Um, this is really an amazing, it's, it's, it's for those who really, uh, love

51:46And it's made from premium coffee beans and steeped cold for a smoother, naturally rich

51:52taste. Uh, this is ready to drink canned that delivers a crisp, refreshing finish with

51:57every single sip. Now, uh, you can find Black Rifle all over the place from

52:02Bass Pro Shops to, uh, pop -up stores that, that sell Black Rifle tactical stores.

55:22And again, when I quote sources from ABC News or CBS or Fox or CNN

55:29or Al Jazeera, I know what you're thinking when you hear it.

55:33Yes. Can they be trusted?

55:35Probably not. But it's a relevant fact that came out, right?

55:40ABC News confirmed. Or it's not a fact.

55:43It's a relevant piece of information.

55:45Remember what Eric Schwalm said.

55:47A relevant piece of information.

55:49And we connect those in this puzzle.

55:51That's how you decipher between information, which ultimately becomes intelligence for you to make better

55:57decisions. All right. So ABC News confirmed March 2026, a group of Republican donors is

56:04quietly building a, in quote, draft Rubio effort for 2028.

56:10And longtime Trump fundraiser said it's 80 -20 towards Marco.

56:17So 80 % of the donors, right, the donor class, and that's a whole group

56:22of people, too. Everything that pops up, we always hear, like, you know, the insurgency

56:27in the progressive radical, probably it's Soros and those other guys that Jordy just said.

56:34And over here, you've got the Koch brothers and other billionaires.

56:41You've got Musk. You've got Zuckerberg and his $450 million for mail -in balloting collection.

56:48Musk and $250 million for Trump.

56:50So, again, I don't want you to think, like, I'm picking a side.

56:54I'm just delivering you context for all of this, right?

56:58Trump pulled 25 donors at Mar -a -Lago on February 28th.

57:03This is the night of the Iranian strikes that they began, right?

57:07The room broke overwhelmingly for Rubio over J .D.

57:13Vance. And this included Robert Kraft, another billionaire, owns the Patriots, as well as all

57:20those, you know, the donors that were in the Mar -a -Lago room.

57:23And you could find a list of those people, I'm sure, as there was probably

57:27much wide reporting of it, right?

57:30So, a former Trump official, quote, that Mar -a -Lago dono crew are not J

57:37.D. people, end quote. These are Ballard's people, right?

57:41Same donors who lobbied Trump to pick Rubio as VP in 2024, right?

57:49Now, if you remember, right after Butler, right, the big thing was who was going

57:57to pick? And Rubio was the leading candidate, and there was a firestorm internally.

58:03And they say that that kind of came from either Donald Jr.

58:07or maybe his son because he was pointing out how well J .D.

58:11was doing on all the podcasts or, you know, he's a baron and maybe some

58:16other people in his ecosystem, right?

58:18Maybe Charlie Kirk, maybe some other people were influencing Trump as to pick J .D.

58:23because he better represented who?

58:26The America First Populist Movement.

58:29And that's who he needed in this election in order to win.

58:32He needed him for the coalition.

58:34And that's what J .D.

58:35was. Well, guess what? Now, they want to shit can J .D.

58:40Vince. There's no doubt about it.

58:42I guarantee it. Just look at it.

58:44And once you see it, you're never going to be able to unsee it.

58:48Now, Rubio is obviously making the attempts to rebrand America First more as this hawkish

58:55interventionalism, the classic neocon play.

58:58All I can think about is going back to the Biden administration when certain Biden

59:05people like Victoria Nuland was testifying in front of Marco Rubio and was asked directly,

59:11are there U .S. finance bioweapons manufacturing laboratories in Ukraine?

59:17Because that was the big hub hub of where potentially COVID came from and some

59:22other stuff. And remember, Hunter Biden was affiliated with these as well as some of

59:27the other stuff. And Victoria Nuland said, yes.

59:31And then Marco went on to the next question.

59:33All right. So, again, it's not Democrat versus Republican.

59:38Stop thinking that way. It's the donor class, the billionaires, corporations.

59:47It's whoever is going to keep that money and power flowing.

59:51That's who they're going to go for.

59:53It doesn't matter one side or the other.

59:55All right. Now, I'm going to explain that.

59:58The bipartisan machine. The bipartisan machine.

1:00:01How it is both sides, it's not one side, it's both sides.

1:00:06All right. Again, never forget, if your sole job in life is to make as

1:00:13much money as you can and to stay in power as long as you can,

1:00:18then you don't care who's in office.

1:00:21You're going to lobby them either way, and you're going to work with both of

1:00:25them. Let me explain to you, Ballard Partners.

1:00:28All right, Ballard's D .C.

1:00:31office is run by who?

1:00:34Jordy, who do you think, a Republican or a Democrat?

1:00:38Let me say a Republican.

1:00:41Shit, come on. Is that really what you're going to say right now after I

1:00:45did that great intro of this?

1:00:47Nah, dude, it's going to be a Democrat.

1:00:49It is a Democrat. If a Republican would make sense because they're aligned, but that's

1:00:54not how this works, right?

1:00:56No, no, no. The Ballard's D .C.

1:00:57office is run by Robert Wexler, right?

1:01:00A former Florida Democratic congressman who advised Obama on Israel, addressed the Democratic National Convention,

1:01:10and one of the most influential leaders in the American Jewish community.

1:01:14He actually nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, all right?

1:01:21Wow. That's who's running the Democratic, who's running the Ballard's office in D .C.

1:01:28Now, why would you do that?

1:01:29Well, they put him at the helm during the Biden administration.

1:01:33So what? They wouldn't be run out of town.

1:01:36So what do you do?

1:01:37You bring in a senior Democratic influencer, and you put him at the helm, and

1:01:41you keep lobbying. All right, Ballard's Tampa offices is run by Anna Cruz, the former

1:01:49executive director of the Florida Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton's Florida campaign spokesman in 2008 and

1:01:572016, and the partner of Tampa's Democratic mayor.

1:02:04All right, so there you have it, all right?

1:02:07Let's do one more. Former partner, Jamie Rubin, a senior foreign policy advisor to four,

1:02:14not one, not two, not three, but four Democratic presidential campaigns, and was Clinton's assistant

1:02:22secretary of state, used by Ballard on the Turkey foreign agent account.

1:02:31Okay. All right, you got that?

1:02:34During Biden's presidency, the firm survived specifically because of its Democratic bench.

1:02:40Wexler was made D .C.

1:02:42managing partner in 2021 to maintain access to the Biden White House and Democratic Congress.

1:02:48All right. The same. Remember, they don't give a damn about which party's in charge.

1:02:59They just want access. The whole thing is access to political power and influence.

1:03:04And that's why the same firm that has direct access and was worked directly with,

1:03:12Trump's chief of staff, and Obama's Israeli advisors, Rolodex, and Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman, all

1:03:21right? This is a bipartisan approach, right?

1:03:26And what they do is they buy access on both sides and don't care who

1:03:31wins the elections. That's how this thing works.

1:03:36And that's why they want you and I to keep fighting with people who are

1:03:41screaming at us on X.

1:03:43They want us to keep believing these grand narratives of hate and discontent and disloyalty

1:03:48and you're a traitor and you're this.

1:03:50Well, you're a LGBT fanatic.

1:03:54Oh, well, you're an Islamist.

1:03:55Well, you're anti -Semitic. Look, if you haven't noticed, all they want us to do

1:04:01is stay focused on our own discrepancies, our own emotional discrepancies with one another instead

1:04:09of looking at the real problem, which is how our coffers are being rated at

1:04:16the highest, most insane levels.

1:04:18And then you look at all these democratic states that are getting crushed by Nick

1:04:23Shirley and all those gangs.

1:04:25You don't think that corruption exists in red states as well, too?

1:04:29You're insane. And you just wait.

1:04:32There's going to be a Nick Shirley that pops on the Democratic Party who's going

1:04:35to start exposing corruption in Florida and exposing corruption in Texas.

1:04:41We've already seen it popping out.

1:04:43Look at what was taking place with the impeachment of Ken Paxson against the Democratic

1:04:51or the Republican Party led by one of George Bush's sons.

1:04:58Right? All right. Now, we've talked already a little bit about the foreign money pipeline.

1:05:06I don't need to talk about that anymore.

1:05:07And so what does this mean for you in making the decision coming up here

1:05:13in 2026 midterms and then, more importantly, in 2028?

1:05:19All right? These people, they don't care about MAGA.

1:05:25They don't care about America First.

1:05:27Right? All they care about...

1:05:29out is access, influence, and the outcomes that increase their bank accounts.

1:05:38That's what it is. That's how this works.

1:05:41Now, if they can break apart this populist coalition, which by the way, is essentially

1:05:49what happened with the Democratic coalition, if you didn't notice that as well too.

1:05:54Like you had a bunch of old school Democrats who didn't like the radicals of

1:05:59the party. And so what they started dismantling them, removing influence in them and letting

1:06:05other people come in and back in it to the forefront.

1:06:09That's the same thing that's going on.

1:06:10They break up coalitions of us, right?

1:06:14Which is the middle. They cannot have the middle of America joining together.

1:06:20They can't because then what we would do is we would peacefully revolt against their

1:06:30corruptive practices. And that's why they go so hard at keeping the old system protected

1:06:38and in place. All right.

1:06:41You know, this whole idea of Trump drain the swamp, you're not going to see

1:06:47it. You're not going to see it in particular after.

1:06:51And this is my prediction.

1:06:52I just, unless something radical happens in the next four or five months, six months,

1:06:57and Trump reverses course on a lot of these things and starts pounding how we

1:07:02haven't even seen, right? The, the, the, the Russiagate people indicted yet.

1:07:10Right. Do you think Wexler's going to allow Susie Wiles to give the green light

1:07:15to Pan Bondi to indict Brennan, Clapper, Comey, right?

1:07:22Absolutely not. Because they're part of that powerful influence on their end as well too.

1:07:27And, and they believe potentially if Trump loses in, in 28 to who, whoever pops

1:07:33up, right, that they'll be in the right position.

1:07:36And that's how it works.

1:07:37We wonder why nothing is getting done because nobody's going to shoot themselves in the

1:07:42foot by maintaining integrity and getting rid of corruption because the next group that comes

1:07:48in power, they're going to go after the former group, not, not, not the political

1:07:54group. They're going to go after you and me.

1:07:57They're going to go after the small businesses like they did in COVID.

1:08:01They're going to go after the people trying to call the politicians out for the

1:08:06bullshit that they're doing. They're going to imprison them or shut, debank them or shut

1:08:11them out. And the same thing is happening with, with conservative influencers as well too.

1:08:16Hell, I was locked out in the lead up to the, the 2020 election.

1:08:22And guess what? Now there's Democrats that are being throttled in certain places as well

1:08:28too. And if you don't believe that they're actively engaged on social media and media,

1:08:37guess what? Ballard partners launched the Ballard media group, right?

1:08:43Uh, I PR strategic communications division led by Raj Shah, Trump's former deputy press secretary

1:08:52and Jamie Rubin, who was with the Clinton state department.

1:08:58Make that make sense for me.

1:09:00The people that are working for Ballard media group is Raj Shah, Trump's former deputy

1:09:07press secretary and Jamie Rubin, who was in the Clinton state department.

1:09:15Just mull that over for a little bit, if you would.

1:09:19Again, we are in a predicament, a substantial predicament.

1:09:31And I believe the predicament for us is going to get worse and worse and

1:09:35worse and worse and worse, especially when AI is introduced in order to be able

1:09:40to, uh, corral, restrict, manipulate everything from what we see to what sees us and

1:09:50what we're doing to what we spend or what we can spend to where we

1:09:54can go or where we can't go.

1:09:58Um, um, that's what's, that's, what's building and the same people that are doing it

1:10:04and have been doing it pretty much since the beginning of politics, anywhere, any place

1:10:11at any time in history, that's what we're facing.

1:10:16And so what, what I want y 'all to understand is, and again, uh, you,

1:10:22you can, if you fully support Trump, God bless you.

1:10:26I support a ton of what president Trump thinks.

1:10:29I think he's been one of the most significant political leaders in human history, right?

1:10:34Again, and I'm kind of a history, but there's certain areas I know more about

1:10:38than others, but history becomes a very important thing for us to learn because even

1:10:42our greatest leaders have flaws as well too.

1:10:45And that's all I'm saying is that we're seeing some flaws in, in the political,

1:10:49uh, machine that Trump and his populist, uh, ideas has built and it's under attack

1:10:56right now. It's. There's an insurgency taking place to get rid of it.

1:11:00And that's the old guard, right, who's connected to the other side's old guard or

1:11:05the deep state, the blob or whatever you want to say.

1:11:09And the same firm that has given you Trump's chief of staff and the attorney

1:11:14general and the secretary of state and supporting him.

1:11:19That's the same hat that took off their old GOP hats and are wearing the

1:11:24MAGA hats right now. So stand by to stand by, everybody.

1:11:30I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out over the next few months.

1:11:35I will continue to try and bring you as much context as possible in the

1:11:39tsunami of information that keeps washing over our consciousness.

1:11:43So I can be that flashbang of truth for you to get you to contextualize

1:11:49and think a little bit more critically on all these types of things.

1:11:52And to hopefully continue bringing positive content to the next generation of American people who

1:12:02really care about this country, really true American patriots who want the best for all

1:12:08Americans. So if you enjoy what I'm doing, don't forget to like, share, follow, leave
