1 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,880 Agent Shady shows up at her house. 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,600 Our source says it was a very short 10 or 15 minute meeting. 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,600 She just told me that she was investigating the stolen valor 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,080 allegations of Corey Mills. Would you be able to sit down 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,520 and have a sit down conversation with me sometime? 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,880 They met at a Starbucks together and so they had a coffee talk. 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,920 She said it was very casual. The agent just sipped her coffee 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,720 and asked me questions. This was December 20th of last 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,000 year. Then all of a sudden, in early 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,520 April, Agent Shady shows up again. 11 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,720 It says, can we meet again? And she says, yeah, that'd be 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,760 great. And the agent says, would you be 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,480 interested in becoming a confidential human source to 14 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:44,160 assist us in this investigation? Would you be willing to actually 15 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,520 go undercover to learn information from another lady? 16 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:53,240 But at this point in the Cory Mills story, there is only one 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,800 other lady. That's Jill Savage plays News. 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,520 All interviewers have their own style, and my style is to try to 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,400 get to the point and to be intensely curious. 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,200 And the key to interviewing is listening. 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,680 Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,040 American patriot.

I am a high level, high speed 105 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,440 manufacturer of kidney stones. I I have been cursed with that 106 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,560 for 30 years. Is there any money in that? 107 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,400 Well, you know what, if anybody has a gravel pit that they need 108 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,120 to, you know, get stocked up, I can probably help them out. 109 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,560 But it's, it's, it's a genetic thing for me. 110 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,440 There's nothing I can do diet wise. 111 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,920 I mean, the the doctors are like nap, you're just, you're going 112 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,920 to, you're going to, you're just going to have to deal with it. 113 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,800 You're going to make spiky calcium. 114 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Yeah, yeah. And that's exactly what it is. 115 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,800 My body creates it and I, I spit them out regularly. 116 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,440 And so the problem, the problem with that is because I'm so 117 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,440 accustomed to it, I don't take it seriously when it happens. 118 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,200 Like, OK, all right, I got another one. 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,720 Whatever. Except on occasion they can get 120 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,640 back, you know, they can clog up your works and then you get into 121 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,920 infections and then sepsis and all that. 122 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,680 Well, I actually got into that territory for the last one. 123 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,240 I was on the road like I usually am. 124 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,920 So I'm, I'm not home right now. I'm in Florida at the moment 125 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,560 working on a couple of stories down here. 126 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,520 And I was in Dallas the last time and I felt it. 127 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,080 I, I know what it feels like. I went, OK, I got another kidney 128 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,120 stone. Here we go again. 129 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,720 Yay me. And so then I had to go to 130 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,520 Louisiana. I had to go to Florida again for 131 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,200 a story. When I got to Florida, I 132 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,480 realized that I was not going to make it this time. 133 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,760 And so I I had a couple of my meetings with sources that I 134 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,680 needed to. And then I called my urologist 135 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,680 up in Raleigh and said I am on my way. 136 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,840 You have to see me tomorrow. End of conversation. 137 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:03,400 And they, they, they got me in. I drove through, straight 138 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,280 through from Central Florida all the way up to North Carolina. 139 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,400 I got in the next morning and they did the X-rays. 140 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,720 When he finished the X-rays, he went, we're going to do a CAT 141 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,000 scan now. And I went, well, you that you 142 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,400 don't usually do that. And he goes, yeah, if 143 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,720 something's going on, did a CAT scan, he walks into my room and 144 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960 he goes, you're going to the hospital now. 145 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,040 And so I ended up going through four different procedures over 5 146 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040 / a five week period to take care of that particular 147 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,960 situation. The rest of it would be too 148 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,080 would be, as they say, TMI. That's fair. 149 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,360 No, that's fair. Kidney stones are ugly, and I'm 150 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240 sorry that you are so afflicted. And it seems like you decided to 151 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,640 take your time while you were not doing well to just go cause 152 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,960 problems in other people's lives as well. 153 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Because you're kind of like that prickly guy. 154 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,880 You're like, hey, if I'm feeling good, everybody else should also 155 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,880 feel good. Is that fair? 156 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,480 Yeah, I. Actually got bored with going 157 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,280 after the Capitol police so I decided to go after your former 158 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,160 mistress and take on the FBI directly. 159 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,320 Fantastic. Let's talk about it. 160 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,480 So you went to Florida chasing story. 161 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120 You want to give people the broad strokes of that story. 162 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Yeah, actually there's there's a couple of story, different 163 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,840 stories that I've been working on down here. 164 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,760 Ironically you coincidentally whatever you want, however you 165 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480 want to characterize it, A couple of big stories that I've 166 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,520 been working on for quite some time. 167 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,120 All of our sourcing and the key players are right here in 168 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Central Florida. And one of those is our story on 169 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Aaron Black, which was the Nancy Pelosi's fixer and that one 170 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,280 still has a lot of legs.

Glenn was up there with a couple 190 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,840 of our other journalists from The Blaze, Jill Savage and Julio 191 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Rosa, just to, you know, see what FEMA was doing and see if 192 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,920 they were if the government was actually taking care of those 193 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,040 people. Because we have at the Blaze, 194 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,320 you know, or, or Glenn does has Mercury one, which is a, you 195 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,320 know, disaster relief organization. 196 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,240 They do that all over the world. So he he was up there personally 197 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,680 checking it out and seeing what what kind of the needs were. 198 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,560 And, and so they, Corey Mills ran into our guys Glenn and, and 199 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,760 our other reporters. And then they spent some time 200 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,720 together. I spent some time on a 201 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,960 helicopter together going back to the airport together. 202 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,240 They heard some stories from Corey about what is going on in 203 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,640 his life and his personal life, things like that. 204 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:24,120 And then Fast forward about 3 1/2, four months. 205 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,520 And some of those stories turned out not to be true. 206 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,400 And then when you have a congressman says one big, really 207 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:37,440 significant lie to you, you kind of go, why don't you check and 208 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,000 see what else he's lying about? Yeah, it turns out is that. 209 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,800 The there's a lot. Well, was that the genesis of 210 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,040 the story, that there was one lie that was proved to somebody 211 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,760 in in either Glenn's orbit or somebody at Blaze and then and 212 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,120 then other questions came up? Yeah, let's, let's just start 213 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,080 from the beginning on this, because sometimes we start at 214 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,880 the end and work our way back. But in this case, since we've 215 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,680 already broached the subject, what happened was, is, and this 216 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:10,560 was, you know, a strange thing for Captain America, Mr. you 217 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:15,080 know, all the, the heroic things he's done all over the world, 218 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,040 you know, rescuing people from Afghanistan and Israel and all 219 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,040 of the the military daring do that he has on his record. 220 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,560 And all of the, you know, working with military 221 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,120 contractors after his time in the service and getting 222 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:33,640 allegedly blown up twice by IE D's and his awards and medals 223 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,600 and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, right. 224 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,320 It was, it was very, it was a very weird thing that in the 225 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,040 helicopter ride back to the airport from one of the disaster 226 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,280 relief centers that they were checking on is that he started 227 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,440 going into a dissertation about his personal life and how lonely 228 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,000 he was. And, you know, he was going 229 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,800 through a divorce at the time. And then at that point, you 230 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,560 know, 2 1/2, three years into, you know, the process of getting 231 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:03,240 divorced, not finalized, but going through it and that he was 232 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,280 really lonely and that he had not been, had, had not had 233 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,840 relationship, you know, in over a year and been with anybody in 234 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,680 over a year really, you know, just and it's like, OK, why are 235 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,000 you telling this story to us? Right. 236 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,200 Well, there's only one good reason why he would be telling 237 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,680 that story on the helicopter. And what is? 238 00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:29,840 Because Jill Savage, the lovely Jill Savage, the host of you 239 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,120 know Blaze News Tonight, the mandate at Blaze TV is in the 240 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,720 helicopter with him. That's the only reason to gain 241 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,000 some of her sympathy and or attention. 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360 Yeah, and exchange numbers with her. 243 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,840 I mean, you know, he's a congressman. 244 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,000 He's worth 10s of millions of dollars from his private 245 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,880 business affairs. He's Captain America. 246 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,160 She's a smart, pretty lady on a helicopter next to him, Yeah. 247 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240 And why not? Target of opportunity, Steve. 248 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,040 Yeah, well, he's a player, you know, and he, he played, he 249 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,160 played the game, except there was a problem with playing the 250 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,440 game. So just just just so everyone 251 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,800 understands, because the only reason I think the back story is 252 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,600 most interesting is that you guys didn't set out to go like 253 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,360 who's some? That's not how your your 254 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,880 newsroom works. You're this is not like an 255 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,800 O'Keefe media situation where you're like, how can we target 256 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,400 fill in the blank type of person? 257 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,760 This just happened organically where a story came up, it didn't 258 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,440 line up. It's a public figure, and that 259 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,520 becomes a public interest if somebody's lying in private. 260 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,640 Yeah. Right. 261 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:35,560 And and then after that event in in North Carolina, Glenn has 262 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,920 Congressman Mills and to do one of his full big, you know, 263 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:44,840 podcasts and, and so and, and Glenn was, you know, just 264 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440 absolutely gobsmacked by the guy. 265 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,520 His record, his, his history comes from a really bad, you 266 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,080 know, upbringing and and conquered, you know, all of the, 267 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,120 the obstacles in his life to get where he was right out of high 268 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,720 school. He joins the army. 269 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,080 He's, you know, he gets all of these recognitions and awards. 270 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,280 Then he goes into working with the one Dyncorp, one of the, you 271 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,720 know, military contractors and and yet again, he's involved in 272 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,760 some heroic things. This is all in his campaign 273 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,600 rhetoric. This is all on his website. 274 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,400 This is in his story, his bio as he's presented it. 275 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560 And then you then you get to the fact that after he leaves 276 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,760 Dyncorp, then he eventually starts his own company, which is 277 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,240 a weapons trading company by the way, both domestic and foreign. 278 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,720 He does like domestic less than lethal weapon cells to local law 279 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,080 enforcement here in the United States. 280 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,280 And then he does other types of weapons overseas. 281 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,320 And then he made, you know, 10s of millions of dollars. 282 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,160 And, and then in fact, on top of all of this, Kyle, I mean, he's 283 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,560 like President Trump. He doesn't take his salary from 284 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,920 Congress what he takes it, but he donates it to a charity. 285 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,840 So some sort, some sort of women's Relief Fund or something 286 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,840 like that. So he he donates his entire 287 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,560 salary. I mean, so this guy is, 288 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,800 everything about him is. Captain America, Yeah, alright, 289 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,160 that's Arnold Schwarzenegger status where you come in and you 290 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,560 live 10 lives in one life and you do a bunch of success in 291 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,360 everything you touch. And at and at 44 years old, he's 292 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,440 accomplished all of this. And and then he goes into public 293 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,800 service, he has to put his businesses on hold, he has to 294 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,240 put them in blind trust, all of that, you know, so that he could 295 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800 concentrate on doing the work of the American people. 296 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,600 And, you know, 95% of the time it seems to be voting exactly 297 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,200 the way you and I would expect, you know, a guy like that to 298 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,160 vote. And apparently Magus supports 299 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,240 the the president's agenda, etcetera, etcetera. 300 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,720 No, Anyway, so there's the back story on the guy as we know it 301 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,760 now. This meeting in North Carolina 302 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,160 took place, you know, a couple of days after the storm. 303 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,040 So the storm was September 27th. And then Glenn and, and the guys 304 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,000 were on the ground just a couple days later with Mercury 1, 305 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,000 Mercury One and then and met. That's where they ran into Corey 306 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,960 Mills and then Jill and, and, and Corey exchanged phone 307 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,800 numbers. There's some chatting. 308 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,040 They never made-up. They never had a date. 309 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,680 You know, she's in Dallas, he's in DC and Florida. 310 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,640 He's the Central district of Florida. 311 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,520 And, and so he's he's, but they, you know, they're texting, 312 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,800 they're chatting and there's, you know, they might get 313 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,120 together sometime. Well, come the end of February. 314 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,640 This is pretty salacious, Steve. This is like, not our normal 315 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,520 fare. Just saying. 316 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,280 But you know, I mean not just between you and I, you know, but 317 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,440 the, the, the, this is, but this is normal life, right? 318 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,240 It's.

You. 329 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,440 Know that might be our headline right there, though. 330 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:20,839 It's Steve Baker, investigative journalist finds Corey Mills 331 00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:22,760 attractive.

You have played Bowie on stage, 333 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,640 so this is not this is not a threat to your masculinity. 334 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:39,120 So so Fast forward to the end of February and there's a call to 335 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:43,880 the Metropolitan Police from a luxury penthouse apartment in 336 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,360 DC. You know $20,000 a month luxury 337 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:52,560 apartment from a young woman who has been assaulted by her live 338 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,960 in guy. This is 20. 525 is that correct? 339 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,080 Yeah, this is just, you know, yeah, this is February and the 340 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,040 the police arrive and the young 27 year old girl has called the 341 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,160 cops on none other than Congressman Corey Mills for 342 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240 assaulting her, you know, 3:00 in the morning, whatever it was. 343 00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:16,280 And, and I and by the way, I just, I pulled that time out of 344 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,120 my ass. It might have been one PMI don't 345 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:20,480 remember if Jill was here. She remembers. 346 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,040 She's like she is. She is encyclopedically honed in 347 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,280 on every single microscopic detail of the story since it 348 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,240 originated with her. And so the police report comes 349 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,120 out, obviously, it's made public. 350 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,440 And it turns out that in the police report, it is revealed 351 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,120 that the two of them had been living together for over a year. 352 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,240 All right. Now it doesn't jibe with our 353 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,840 previous story and also that here's the thing, that wasn't 354 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,960 really a big national news story, and you'd think that it 355 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,720 would be. Well, the, the DC cops are very 356 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,640 good about, you know, not necessarily moving forward with 357 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,600 charges too fast when you're talking about a congressman. 358 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,120 Give time for them to buy her a couple of new purses and some, 359 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,600 you know, fancy shoes, you know, spend a few $1000 on them and 360 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,400 then then they'll retract their statement and, and take it back 361 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,520 and not press charges. And that's, that's generally 362 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,920 between the Capitol Police, the Metro PD, the way they'll handle 363 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,800 a situation like this with a Congress member. 364 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,080 And that's exactly, and that's exactly what happened. 365 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:39,520 The the the young lady has actually recanted her her 366 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,560 original version of events as given to the Metro PD in the 367 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,360 police report itself, but never she's. 368 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,720 Not like a low profile person. No, no, not at all. 369 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,160 She's a she's an activist. Yeah, she is very much an 370 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,240 activist. She's she literally started, 371 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,160 she's Iranian, not by birth, but by heritage. 372 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,760 And I think she's Texas born actually. 373 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,520 And so she has started the Iranians for Trump, you know, 374 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,840 organization like that so. And, and look and, and the age 375 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,320 difference is certainly not a scandal. 376 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,160 He's 44, she's 27. That's no big deal, you know, is 377 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:14,880 it not I? Mean. 378 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,640 That's a big difference. It's not a big deal. 379 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,200 To me. When you OK, we'll compare it to 380 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,200 the the compared to the White House press secretary and her 381 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,960 husband, like 60 and 29. Oh, I don't like that either. 382 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,840 I'm, I'm so my parents had about the, what I think is probably 383 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,560 the biggest age gap that I always thought was OK. 384 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,840 They were 10 years apart. And there's something about like 385 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,560 30 year old man, 20 year old woman. 386 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,680 It's not as predatory. But when you're talking about 387 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,640 like, what do I have in common? I'm, I'm the same age as Corey 388 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,760 Mills. I'm, I'm 43. 389 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,360 I don't have anything in common with 27 year olds at all. 390 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,200 You know, I have more in common with you by a lot. 391 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,840 Yeah. I mean, I'm I'm further in age 392 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,240 different from you than you would be to Corey's side piece. 393 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,280 Yeah, exactly. Side piece. 394 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,880 That's the best part because he's still married. 395 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,640 Right. Right, OK, sorry. 396 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,320 All right, let's not get down this scandalousness, but I'm 397 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,320 just going to here's why I think that is actually interesting a 398 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,920 little bit. We keep electing people that are 399 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,320 Republicans and we assume that there's a one to one 400 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:23,760 relationship between Republican and conservative and there's 401 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,640 overwhelming proof that that is not the case. 402 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,720 Is that is that a fair statement? 403 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,480 It's an incredibly fair statement and then it can be 404 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,960 taken much further. There are there's a real problem 405 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:45,200 within conservatism right now or within the GOP in particular, is 406 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,760 people that are apparently conservative and maybe not so 407 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,640 much they may actually have other agenda in mine. 408 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,040 And, and they, they've learned how to, you know, talk the talk 409 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:05,720 and they've learned how to vote the vote 90% of the time, 85% of 410 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,600 the time. That's still getting to pretty 411 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,120 good Liberty score or a Heritage score or whatever those things 412 00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:11,640 are. And and you can look really good 413 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,400 and still touted by getting and still doing real damage. 414 00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:19,400 It's the damage can be done in the committee's, the damage can 415 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,720 be done by what's never allowed out of the committee's. 416 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,480 The damage can be done in the backroom deals. 417 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,400 The damage can be done in the in the skiff committees. 418 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,800 You know where they're you know, they're there. 419 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,960 There are there are serious committee meetings and hearings 420 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,600 and interviews and witness testimonies transcribed and even 421 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000 underoath that we never hear about because they're, you know, 422 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,600 they're they're classified and so a lot. 423 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,200 Of people not who don't understand that when they 424 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,200 classify something and they do it for the reason of like the 425 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,040 person who's bringing the information forward. 426 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,760 A human classification can go 25 years at the secret level, or 427 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,080 even 50 years before it can be revealed. 428 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,960 Which means they're going to people are going to die before 429 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,000 they're ever going to be revealed. 430 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,720 And then and then every once in a while you have the guy with 431 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,640 the 9295% liberty score. He cast that vote that is just 432 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:11,080 like, what are you doing? You get, and he, he just held 433 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,400 back and he held that one vote in reserve because of who his 434 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,840 handlers are. And you know, look, I, I, I 435 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:25,240 wouldn't be surprised if the GOP isn't infiltrated by, I'm 436 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,240 talking about just Washington. I wouldn't be surprised if there 437 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720 weren't 100 Manchurian congressmen up there. 438 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,400 Being run by who do you think? China. 439 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,160 China's running everything right now. 440 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,920 I mean it's. Isn't it interesting though, 441 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,960 that everybody immediately goes and says it's the? 442 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,280 Jews. And they all go to Israel. 443 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,360 And it just seems like it seems like such a, a simple tense 444 00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,440 answer. Like when people find that, that 445 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,760 answer, I, I especially when everybody, especially when some 446 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,280 of the dumbest people are saying it, I immediately just go like, 447 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,400 well, that's not what's happening. 448 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,400 Just like dumb people didn't accidentally discover the answer 449 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,800 most likely. No, I actually, I, when I, I'm 450 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,560 actually at my sister's house right here right now in Central 451 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,440 Florida. Yeah. 452 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:13,120 And so when we were setting up here for for this, because I'm, 453 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,440 I'm here for a couple weeks working down here. 454 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,320 And so I needed a place where I could do broadcast and podcast 455 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,880 and things of that nature. And so she has a menorah up here 456 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,400 on her top shelf behind. Perfect. 457 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,880 Yeah. And she, no, she goes, she goes. 458 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,080 Should I take that down? So you don't get, you know, I 459 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,240 went. Oh, no, no, no. 460 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,560 Yeah, yeah, that's fun. That's a that's an Easter egg. 461 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:35,040 So, OK, I just want to explore this with you for a second 462 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,080 because I, we've never had this conversation and I'm, I have 463 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,920 this weird little idea. OK, So because I think you're 464 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,600 probably right. China has the money, they have 465 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,200 the influence, they have the long game. 466 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,560 They always have. They've been somehow really 467 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,360 downplayed as the nefarious actor. 468 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,840 They were touched very gently under the Biden administration. 469 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,160 We had whistleblowers coming forward saying they had credible 470 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,560 and actionable Intel to go and and do prosecutions and could 471 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,600 get them done. That all sounds like the real 472 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,560 problem. But we hear this very vocal 473 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,040 thing when things are going bad, everybody looks for a first 474 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,720 scapegoat. It turns out the right wing 475 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,480 loves to go to the Jews right now or whatever this version of 476 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,560 people are that are upset about it. 477 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,240 I wonder this, 'cause I'm always like, there's always a nugget of 478 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,840 truth to something. There's always a nugget of some 479 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,680 people that are that are playing around the edges. 480 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,920 And the idea of Israel's influence in the United States, 481 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,040 some of it was very public and it's not like it's hidden. 482 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,520 It always seemed to me more like the United States is 483 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,640 manipulating Israel, and parts of, you know, people in Israel 484 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,880 turn back around and do the bidding of what the United 485 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,800 States wants. There's very little chance to me 486 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,440 that a tiny little country that small that doesn't have more 487 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,160 wealth in the United States can manipulate all of the US It's 488 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,000 far more likely that we're manipulating them and then using 489 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000 some of those people's influence inside our own country. 490 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:54,280 Infinitely more influence and just because of the overwhelming 491 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,160 influence of are prevalence of Jewish names at the end of 492 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,800 movies in the movie credits are, you know, are even in, even in 493 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,240 the newsrooms of, you know, the, the big, the big three or the 494 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,000 big 5, whatever. Look, they, there is a lot of 495 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,680 influence and a lot of prevalence there. 496 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,920 But it is if we're talking about where the influence really is, 497 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,440 it's in the money. And they don't have the money to 498 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,320 affect what is going on in this country legislatively especially 499 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,680 and the direction of of nominations and for the courts 500 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,400 and that sort of thing that China has. 501 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,840 Yeah, not even, I mean, they don't have the ability to 502 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,320 manipulate world currency or, you know, global oil reserves or 503 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,120 any of those things. So that always seemed to me, 504 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:43,400 that always seemed to me like the Kansas City shuffle. 505 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,960 You know, it's the, it's the concept and I learned it out of 506 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,280 lucky #7 but I know that it was a thing beforehand. 507 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,400 It's like, we're going to let you see that there is a con 508 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,880 going on, but we just want you to believe a certain con that 509 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,960 is, that's appropriate for us because that's not the real con. 510 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,240 And as long as you're fixated on the one thing, we can do the 511 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,080 real thing. And one of those might be China. 512 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000 And the other is actually the United States interest, whether 513 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,760 it be, you know, our, our, our folks over in the military 514 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,560 industrial complex and the information industrial complex. 515 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,720 Like, take your pick, pharmaceutical industrial 516 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,160 complex, pick all the complexes. A lot of that money actually 517 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,680 starts here, goes somewhere else, and then comes back here. 518 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,600 Sort of like as an influence op. But the influence OP is still 519 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,760 probably being run from the US, if we're being honest, and then 520 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,680 from other big global players, China being the biggest, maybe 521 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,320 Russia a little bit. They're smaller for sure. 522 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,600 Yeah. Definitely. 523 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,840 We're on the, we're on the same page. 524 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,120 I just wanted to compare notes on that. 525 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,480 Yeah. We we usually are, but the 526 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,520 having said that getting getting back to our our buddy and 527 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:44,000 possible Manchurian Congressman Corey Mills the the the you 528 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,120 notice I said possible my, my. Your legal instinct. 529 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,400 Well, we actually, I had to, I had to do legal constant 530 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,200 consultation on this particular tour of commentary that I'm 531 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,040 doing on this story because it's a very sensitive 1. 532 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,840 And in fact, Mills, before we ever even published our first 533 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,480 story at The Blaze, and we've had four so far, but before our 534 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,400 first story was ever published, he had already threatened The 535 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,000 Blaze and Jill directly with lawsuits and, you know, 536 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,560 defamation, slander, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, with the 537 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,880 whole thing. And, and so if we go back to 538 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:32,120 that for a moment, I should probably clarify that what 539 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:36,720 started this was, you know, bordering on the salacious, but 540 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,640 that has nothing to do with what our interest in Corey Mills is. 541 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:47,320 I I have Kyle, I have 0 interest in his sexcapades and 542 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,960 unfortunately. I mean, you, you thought about 543 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,280 for a little while, going and working for for like OMG and and 544 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,320 James O'Keefe and starting to do like dating videos, but then you 545 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,160 then the your better nature got, you know, got a hold of you and 546 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,480 said, I'm actually interested in real scandal, not whether 547 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,800 someone lies on a date or tries lies to get a date. 548 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,480 Right, Grinder journalism is not my Yeah, I'm. 549 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,000 So proud of that term. I, I love it. 550 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,800 It's perfect. Yeah. 551 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:19,600 And and so the the The thing is, is not that Corey was caught 552 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:27,200 with a 27 year old Iranian side piece in his luxury $20,000 a 553 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,840 month 10th house in DC, which he can afford apparently, Yeah. 554 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:43,400 It's that he lied to us. That's that's the thing that. 555 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,760 He lied about the relationship, that he hadn't seen anybody and 556 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,920 and why would that be interesting that he lied about 557 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,000 that in front of a woman? OK, a couple, couple, couple of 558 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,360 things #1 there's, there's a, there's a particular culture at 559 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,520 the Blaze that I leaned into and admired going back. 560 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,280 I think that I think I started listening to Glenn's radio show, 561 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,520 interestingly, about the time that I separated from my own 562 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:27,160 life back as 18 years ago. And, and so I remember it was 563 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,200 about that time listening to him every morning. 564 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,080 You know, he was, he was the 9 to 12 guy on the East Coast. 565 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,840 And then Rush Limbaugh was right after that on most stations 566 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,120 around the country that, you know, the conservative talk 567 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,880 stations. And so I'm picking him up every 568 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,200 morning and listening to him. And one of the things that Glenn 569 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:54,440 always said was he said we will always lead with our mistakes. 570 00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,440 In other words, if we get a story wrong, that's the first 571 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,440 thing we cover tomorrow morning. Yeah, and that's the opposite of 572 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,000 what most news media does, right? 573 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,280 Yeah, no, the most news media, if they get it wrong in a week 574 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,400 later, they'll bury it in section. 575 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,360 You know Z of the paper on 17th page. 576 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,160 And they print their retraction and it's as quiet as possible 577 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,680 because we're never wrong. That's why you listen to us. 578 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,920 And when we are wrong, you don't. 579 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,960 You don't learn about it. Right. 580 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:30,680 And that really captured my fascination about and I didn't 581 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,200 know a lot about Glenn Beck at the time. 582 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,280 And then over the years listening to him and he does a 583 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,080 lot of interviews with new candidates, you know, 584 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,080 congressional candidates, gubernatorial candidates, GOP 585 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,120 guys. And he interviews them. 586 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,640 And without fail, there's basically two things that he 587 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,200 says. He goes, we can, we can disagree 588 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,160 on individual policies like that. 589 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,800 He said just don't ever lie to me. 590 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,480 If you lied to me, I'm I'm done with you. 591 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,200 Just don't lie to me. We can we can argue issues, 592 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:12,120 politics, policies, philosophy all day long and reasonably do 593 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,280 so don't lie to me. And the other thing kind of 594 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,720 along that same lines, is he at the at the end of every one of 595 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,360 these candidate interviews He does, he always says he goes, 596 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,160 how's your relationship with the Lord? 597 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,440 He does that every time he he wants to, he wants to see who 598 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,840 this person is so he knows how to evaluate him. 599 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,840 And he doesn't endorse anybody. I mean, it's like incredibly 600 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,000 rare that he endorses. You can really, really put 601 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,480 people on their heels with that question because if you've never 602 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,720 thought about the answer to it, you're going to get a real good 603 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,120 sputtering, awkward moment. And if it's something that's 604 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,800 very natural to talk about, then you'll do that. 605 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,080 And if it's something that's very private, you'll get 606 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,720 somebody that is reserved but thoughtful. 607 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,680 Like you'll get a lot. That's a great question. 608 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,760 It's not, it's not a Kyle Seraphin question per SE, but I 609 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,560 do like that somebody wants to do it. 610 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,080 If that's his thing, it's cool and. 611 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,800 And it and it's, it's totally OK if they say, well, I'm agnostic. 612 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,160 I don't. I don't or whatever, Yeah. 613 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,120 As long as they're all existent. As long as they're. 614 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,120 Honest with him about. Or somebody tells you, you know, 615 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,080 it's, it's really private. I, I just, I've never been a 616 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,360 public person about religion. It's like, OK, that's an answer. 617 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,040 That's an answer, and it's a. It's a. 618 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,200 It's a fair answer. But if someone lies to you, 619 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,280 you'll you'll get a real lie out of that because that's that 620 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,520 could be a real ugly one. Yeah, which I think is really 621 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,840 annoying. So. 622 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:36,080 So the bottom line is, is the congressman lied to them on the 623 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:41,040 helicopter, he said. I've not been in a relationship 624 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,520 in over a year while he was living with somebody for over a 625 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,400 year. Can he? 626 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,280 Say that he had a different definition of relationship. 627 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,920 I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word you know 628 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,480 lives with is. That's right. 629 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,600 But no I but. It seemed like a breaking trust. 630 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,960 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And and so it was one of those 631 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,000 moments where it was like, OK, as I said earlier, if he lied to 632 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,520 us about that, what else is he lying about? 633 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,880 Well. Where did that come from? 634 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,280 Who? Who made that that call? 635 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,920 Was that an editor call? Was that a Glenn call? 636 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,199 I don't know if it was so much because I was, I wasn't there 637 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:26,199 when those discussions began, but certainly it was a 638 00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:31,880 discussion between Glenn and Jill because Jill was the one 639 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,639 who had been being flirted with. Targeted. 640 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,600 Yeah. When I, and I don't mean when I 641 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,760 say targeted, I don't mean that in a nefarious sense, but a guy, 642 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,920 a guy was, you know? She was the she was the target 643 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,000 of affection. Or interest that's. 644 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,040 Fair. Yeah, that's fine, I think. 645 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:54,760 Yeah, and and so and so. But when you're doing that in 646 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,240 the whole time, you're filling your target of affection with 647 00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:03,200 the lies about your loneliness and that you have nobody in your 648 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,640 life. And then all of a sudden it 649 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,960 blows up. So the next question is, is what 650 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,360 else? Well, it turns out, Kyle, there 651 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:17,400 were already years of documented research into Corey Mills 652 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,640 history and the contradiction in its history. 653 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,400 Starting with the most important thing I think would be his 654 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,280 stolen valor accusations. There's a there's a website out 655 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,280 there called Corey Mills watch.com. 656 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,400 Well, I. Yeah, there you. 657 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,280 Go and so which which has everything you know everything 658 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,800 that they find it's under so and then you then we turn we find 659 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,360 out that there are organizations that are dedicated just to this 660 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,200 thing called stolen valor. There's an organization called 661 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,440 warriors of valor that's been around for 20 years. 662 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,000 I'm talking about, I mean, you talk about these guys that do it 663 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,440 right. They don't they're they're not 664 00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:02,360 just looking for guys that are exaggerating their, you know, 665 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,640 their claims of heroism are are have you know, are out seen 666 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,960 wearing medals that they never earned those kinds of things. 667 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,240 But they actually do the other side of it as well. 668 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,400 Service members who did great things that never were 669 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,560 recognized for their moments of valor and heroics. 670 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,320 They make sure that they get the recognition that they deserve. 671 00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:26,840 Do you want to define stolen valor for folks that are not 672 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,680 that familiar or I've heard the term but don't have a working 673 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,200 definition? I mean, I I've never actually 674 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,320 looked up the clinical definition of it, but it's 675 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,400 pretty pretty simple. And it's actually in most 676 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,720 states. Most states have stolen valor 677 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,400 laws. It's criminal. 678 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,080 There's a federal statute to some effect as well. 679 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,240 There is, there is, there is a federal statute as well. 680 00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:51,280 The federal statute has been diminished to a certain extent. 681 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,120 We can talk about that as it relates to the FBI going 682 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,560 forward. But you know, I think it was 683 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:02,880 2017 the FBI decided not to pursue stolen valor claims any 684 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,000 longer. They did, they didn't like doing 685 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,960 it anyway. As you know, it's not one of the 686 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,640 the whales, you know, it's kind of one of the minnow type laws 687 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,000 or crimes kind of like. Trespassing in a in a public 688 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,200 public building. Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing. 689 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,280 Accidental tourism, as I refer to it. 690 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:27,440 And so the bottom line is, is that they basically put out a 691 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,520 memoranda to, you know, all the field offices that we're not 692 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,400 doing so in Valor anymore, unless it's specifically tied to 693 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,320 financial remuneration. You know, you're, you're, you're 694 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,400 campaigning, fundraising off of it or you're making a lot of 695 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,480 money. Yeah, I just, I think Arizona is 696 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,960 going through a process right now that it has to be a certain 697 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,480 amount of money. I think their threshold is like 698 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,280 $5000 worth of either fundraising or profit to the 699 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,800 individual. But we're talking about people 700 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,560 that make claims that either can't be substantiated or 701 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,560 objectively false, and they have to actually turn out to be that 702 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,760 they can investigate and they can be provably untrue. 703 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,800 Like I was in this place and someone's like, no, you weren't 704 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,240 in that place. You were actually at Fort 705 00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:10,840 Leonard Wood or you were not even enlisted at that point in 706 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,440 time. Or, you know, Sir Edmund Hillary 707 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,520 didn't climb until you were five years old, That kind of thing. 708 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,480 Like we have to be able to prove it historically that it's 709 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,560 inaccurate, and then you have to profit from it for it to 710 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,000 actually be prosecutable. OK, So, yeah. 711 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,640 And and so the point being is, is that when our guys started 712 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,960 looking into this, they were stunned to find out this was 713 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,920 already on the record. I mean, there was, there were 714 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,960 claims that Corey Mills had made about, for instance, being blown 715 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:42,920 up by IEDs twice, once I think when he was in this, the Army, 716 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,360 once when he was with Dyncorp, you know, the military private 717 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,040 contractor. And it turns out he was never 718 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,800 blown up. He was in an IED incident once 719 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,560 where he got a mild concussion, bounced off the the windshield, 720 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,200 but the the vehicle was not blown up itself. 721 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,000 And then the other event that he claimed to have been involved 722 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,760 in, he never was involved in. All of the servicemen who were 723 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,480 there with him say absolutely. He wasn't even on site. 724 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,440 I mean, much less was part of that. 725 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,240 This was like a mass casualty incident where theoretically he 726 00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:21,240 was a medical responder, right? Exactly because I've read piece 727 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,880 meals of this and like I said, I followed it only because you're 728 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,560 involved in it. And I I heard the inklings at 729 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,840 the same time you're like, how much of this is envy or 730 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,280 jealousy? How much of this is just people 731 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,000 that want what this guy has? So you come in. 732 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,880 Absolutely, absolutely. And and then while we are 733 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,040 looking into the stolen valor issues and we're calling the 734 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:51,000 sources and we're making those contacts, well, as a news 735 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,360 organization, you have to call the guy you're investigating 736 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,800 that would be Corey Mills, right? 737 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:03,160 So one of our reporters, Peter Giedle, he gets on the phone and 738 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:08,080 in a 57 minute recorded phone call with Corey Mills, he 739 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:12,240 actually admits that those IED incidences never happened. 740 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,640 We have it on tape. He can't. 741 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,320 He fundraised off of that. It's on his website I think 742 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,480 still. What was the context where he 743 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,120 had where he admits it? Like what is? 744 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,280 What is that? He admits that he was not there 745 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,800 for the for the the big one with the multi, you know, the mass 746 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,720 casualty event. And then he admits on the phone 747 00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:32,760 call and we've done a story and we've already like that was that 748 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,440 was contained in our first story that we released on him was 749 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,240 about that comp, that call. And he admits in that call that, 750 00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:42,400 yeah, I got AII. He wasn't even diagnosed with a 751 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,760 concussion. He was just, you know, told to, 752 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,760 you know, go, go stay in your bump for a couple days and rest 753 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,040 and see. And then, you know, we'll see if 754 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,920 you. You got light duty for a 755 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,120 headache kind of thing, like many people were around, you 756 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,640 know, concussion. Yeah, he didn't. 757 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,120 He didn't even, he didn't even qualify for a Purple Heart as a 758 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,560 result of it. I mean, it's that kind of 759 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,360 situation. And, and just for people's 760 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,120 context, there was some question about whether or not he was even 761 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,000 overseas from the DD214 that I saw. 762 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,760 Does that seem like that's that was an inaccurate a paperwork 763 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,800 problem? Yeah, he never, he never signed 764 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:19,240 his DD214, which is basically the synopsis of your career with 765 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,280 the, you know, his career in the Army. 766 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,240 And that in that it shows how many deployments you're on, what 767 00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:28,600 countries you went to, how, how many of those things, whether 768 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,400 you were deployed or not overseas, whether you were in 769 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,200 battle or not, that it lists your awards, your medals, that 770 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,080 sort of thing. And even though, and the reason 771 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,120 why he never signed it is it did in fact say on his DD 14 that he 772 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,880 was never deployed. And it says that he was never in 773 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,280 battle, but he also, it showed that he received a Bronze Star. 774 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,240 And you're kind of like. I mean yeah people do receive 775 00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:56,560 bronze stars for like admin troop stuff but. 776 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,680 Well, that's the problem. That's what see, that's the 777 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:06,880 problem is that is, is that a Bronze Star now is a 778 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,880 participation award in many cases. 779 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,360 It's like a, you know, every kid gets a trophy at the soccer 780 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:12,800 game. Depend. 781 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,880 Yeah, depending. Less people get upset about 782 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,720 hearing that. Like it depends on the service, 783 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,200 it depends on the commander. But there are people who have 784 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,600 given them out far more liberally than maybe the 785 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,320 exclusivity of them previously. And as the G Watt went on, it 786 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:26,560 became more. It may. 787 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,440 My buddy should have probably got a bronze or a silver star 788 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,720 for something that he did that was incredibly courageous. 789 00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,520 He saved six guys. The six guys he saved got bronze 790 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,640 stars. He was a Marine. 791 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,800 They were in the Army. The army guys all got bronze 792 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,320 stars for being saved. He didn't get any award for 793 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,960 saving them, even though he was knocked out, lost all of his 794 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,600 front teeth, you know, was Purple Heart, Ada, Ada 50 Cal 795 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,680 turret. And then was went out, woke up 796 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,600 in the middle of a battle and saved everybody's life. 797 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,480 And so, yeah. If you go to if you go to my X 798 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,960 page, right now my banner photo and also on my Facebook page 799 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,520 right now, my personal Facebook page. 800 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:05,080 My banner photo is the actual bronze Star and purple hearts 801 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,160 that my great uncle got in Italy and when he was killed in Italy 802 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,920 and in World War 2. And you know, I put those up for 803 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,560 Memorial Day. I usually leave them up there 804 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,760 for a week or so after he's memorial sort of thing. 805 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,560 But but it also got the newspaper clipping where it 806 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,680 describes why he got his Bronze Star. 807 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,160 I mean, they were his commander was looking for a volunteer to 808 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,480 crawl up on a German to identify a German gun position. 809 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,280 I'll do it. He crawls into the, you know, 810 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,680 enemy territory by himself, identifies the gun position, 811 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,920 comes makes it safely back. He's still alive when he makes 812 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,600 it back. And then because he knew where 813 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,640 the gun position was, he volunteers again. 814 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,200 OK, I'll lead the the attack. And he gets killed in the attack 815 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,960 on the gun, on the gun position. And so I mean real, real blonde, 816 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,920 Bronze star, kind of, you know, stop. 817 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,040 Yeah, true blue heroism kind of thing. 818 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:00,280 But in in in Corey Mills case, this was a situation where the 819 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,920 Brigadier General, you know, gave a Bronze Star to everyone 820 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,480 under his command from a certain rank up, a master Sergeant or 821 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,840 whatever up. They all got them, whether they 822 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,040 were even deployed or not, whether they were just a, you 823 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:20,840 know, a desk jockey, everybody in under his command during that 824 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,560 period or that action got a Bronze Star. 825 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,760 And so so he got one. Do we do we think he was 826 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,440 actually deployed? That that was, oh, you know, he 827 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,320 was deployed because because there's, there's other issues 828 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,080 with his deployment by the prime sources that were there with 829 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,720 him. See, people have had a problem 830 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:44,840 with him for over 20 years since his days in the service, because 831 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,120 he never was the guy they claimed to be. 832 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,920 And then in fact, when he went into the business of working 833 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,640 with Dyncorp as a, you know, security guy, again, a private 834 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,160 military contractor, security contractor, he was overseas. 835 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,560 He was in the desert. You know, he was in Afghanistan 836 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:13,600 and, and Iraq during that time. And Dyncorp ultimately fired him 837 00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:18,760 because they became aware of his stolen valor issues. 838 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,280 So the two things can be true at once. 839 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,280 You can have mistakes on DD214 documents. 840 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,920 Mine had several when I left the service that was just, I think 841 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,080 it's very common. And then it takes a pain in the 842 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,160 ass to actually get it to do right. 843 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,280 You have to go back to the records of your service and 844 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,960 submit all the stuff and then they evaluate them and then they 845 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,400 put back a finding and they give you a corrected DD214. 846 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,240 And it's a real hassle. But I think a lot of service 847 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:44,640 members do it because you want the document to accurately 848 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,840 represent your service. If you got awards or if you got, 849 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,480 you know, if you went to schools or training that that is not 850 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,520 documented and you have the certificates from them, you want 851 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,920 them to put it on the paper because it doesn't count if it's 852 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,840 not written down. And at the same time, you also 853 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,080 can exaggerate the things that were in a misrepresented or a 854 00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:04,120 factually inaccurate DD214. And you could still be lying. 855 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:05,720 So you could have two problems there, right? 856 00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:08,720 Like you could have the service report things inaccurately and 857 00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,840 then the person could also fudge it. 858 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,560 And it sounds like he had two problems there. 859 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,280 He had AD 214 that wasn't accurate from the service. 860 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,160 Right. But also he was making claims 861 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,040 that could not be substantiated even with all the available 862 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,200 records. With all the available records 863 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:27,680 and by all of the men they served with in those incidences 864 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,480 in which he claimed, you know, very specific heroic actions. 865 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,000 And so again, at this point in the whole story, the whole saga, 866 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,680 Blaze and Congressman Mills, I'm not involved at all. 867 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,760 And until I get this phone call from my editor in chief and he 868 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:52,800 says, you know, because we're dealing with DoD issues and now 869 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:59,040 we're kind of stepping over into intelligence service issues, our 870 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:03,000 community issues, and because it looks like there may be some FBI 871 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,880 things going on here, we need to bring you in. 872 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,040 And so they brought me into the story. 873 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,920 So I, I was during that period where I was sick and I was on 874 00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:14,440 really, you know, fun medication at the time. 875 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,600 And, and so I was kind of, you know, my brain was kind of half 876 00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,840 into things and I'm reviewing and I, and they're just piling 877 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,080 it on, especially Jill. Jill is just like I said, she is 878 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:31,360 an she is absolutely amazing how she in a, in the manner which 879 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,280 she was taking us on. I don't know that I don't think 880 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,520 she's ever been an investigative journalist right before, but she 881 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,680 became one overnight and she's really good at it. 882 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:46,200 And so she's just sending me all of this work and and that 883 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,720 they've been doing for weeks now at this point. 884 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,720 And so I'm trying to catch up while I'm sick. 885 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,680 And like I said, I had I had four procedures during this five 886 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,040 week period. And so I'm, I'm in and out of 887 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:05,960 the hospital. And so I finally get well and 888 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,720 then my brain starts functioning properly again. 889 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:18,760 And one big thing just blossomed in front of me, and that was 890 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:25,200 there was an FBI agent out of the Orlando resident agency, 891 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,920 which of course, is right in the middle of Cory Mills District. 892 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,280 Her name is Shay DI. Can't make that up. 893 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:37,840 Shay. Shay, the middle Initial D and 894 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,880 then a hyphenated last name to Tally Bradley. 895 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:47,960 Shay D Tally Bradley. And this FBI agent had been 896 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:54,360 interviewing, contacting, conducting an investigation 897 00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:01,520 ostensibly into Corey Mills stolen valor act allegations. 898 00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:08,800 And, and everything that I'm seeing about this FBI agent as 899 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,240 I'm now interviewing our sources and everything that they're now 900 00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,880 re relaying to me because they've already gone through it 901 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,680 with Jill and Peter and our other guys that have been have 902 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,440 been researching this story already. 903 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:24,080 And, and then as as I'm hearing the version of events I'm going, 904 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,560 this is not sitting right with me. 905 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,440 Nothing about what this agent is doing is sitting right with me. 906 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,640 So the first thing we had to just find out is if is this a 907 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,680 real FBI agent or not. We were able to validate that 908 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,400 pretty quickly. I actually, because because our 909 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,760 sources had been in communication with this age 910 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,240 agent by phone, text and e-mail, we had screenshots of all of 911 00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:53,680 that. So we had the emails, FBI 912 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,760 address, we had screenshots, phone numbers. 913 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,560 I called her up one day and I said, is this Agent Tally 914 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,280 Bradley? She goes speaking and I said, 915 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,960 yeah, I'm, I didn't lie. I said my name is Steve Baker. 916 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,240 I'm with Blaze Media, and I've got some questions about a 917 00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,400 particular case that you're involved in at the moment. 918 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,800 She goes, well, you know, we can't speak about anything like 919 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,520 that. You'll have to speak to our PAO. 920 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,400 I said yeah, I figured that'd be your answer, but yeah, go ahead. 921 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,560 She goes, well, let me get you his number or her their number, 922 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,200 whatever. And she looks it up. 923 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,440 She gives me the she's out of Orlando so that the the field 924 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,280 office is Tampa. So she gets me the phone number 925 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:37,640 to the PAO in in Tampa. And I didn't I didn't bother to 926 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,680 call the PAO because why? What's the point? 927 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:50,120 You get nothing from APAO. And so as as I began to put the 928 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:55,280 pieces of the puzzle together, I began to be suspicious that this 929 00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:01,960 agent was not working for the Bureau on this case and that she 930 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:06,640 wasn't investigating Corey Mills stolen Valor at all. 931 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:13,800 What she was accumulating was what our sources knew about 932 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:19,840 Corey Mills past not just stolen Valor, but his business dealings 933 00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:25,160 overseas, internationally and other issues related to his. 934 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,000 He has some, he has some particular proclivities related 935 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:35,720 to women and, and that she was accumulating information about 936 00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:41,040 that. And, and, you know, look, I know 937 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:48,840 a lot of former FBI agents, you know a lot, I know a bunch of 938 00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:53,360 guys called the suspendables. I know a bunch of guys just for 939 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,800 the work that I do that retired, you know, 20/21/23 years. 940 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,920 And they're either still in government service in some 941 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:05,240 capacity or they're, you know, in private practice now and 942 00:52:05,240 --> 00:52:09,600 whatever they do. And so, and then I, I know some 943 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:15,040 people still in the Bureau. And so I did, I went much 944 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,840 further on this particular inquiry and about this agent 945 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,400 than I ever have before with my suspicions on it. 946 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,840 And then I allowed these experienced people from the 947 00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,200 Bureau, regardless of their experience level, regardless of 948 00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,360 how many years they had in, regardless of whether they were 949 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:36,040 retired or not, is to play devil's advocate with me and put 950 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,440 me my suspicions, you know, to the to the test. 951 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,360 And as I began to share everything with them about her 952 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:53,160 actions, Shady Tally Bradley, as we got to the end, as we would, 953 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,040 as I would bring them all the way through the whole process. 954 00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:02,600 By the time I got to the very end of it, they would go, Oh, 955 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,320 yeah. OK, no, that bothers me because. 956 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,840 All right. For, for instance, you, we 957 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,640 almost always see, you know, the, the, the, the, the door 958 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,800 knock guys, you know, when they show up and now they're now they 959 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,440 look like they, you know, played in a grunge band in Seattle 960 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,280 instead of the suit and ties, You know, when the FBI agents 961 00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,640 show up at your door. And so they knock on the door 962 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,400 and your ring Cam records them and they show the badge. 963 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,160 And we're, you know, we're with the FBI, we have a few 964 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,040 questions, whether they open, whether the the person, the 965 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,560 homeowner opens the door or not. It's not immaterial. 966 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,440 They're usually in pairs. All right, most of the time. 967 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,480 All right. And this particular case with 968 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,120 all of our sources that she had been in contact, we'll call her 969 00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:52,240 Agent Shady. She was never had a partner, no, 970 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:54,440 but that was whether she was on a phone interview. 971 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,640 There was never anybody else involved in the investigation 972 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,280 and we're talking about individuals that lived all over 973 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,400 the country. So we had one of one of our 974 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,560 sources was actually in the Orlando area. 975 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,040 Another source was out of Houston, another source out of 976 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:14,800 Texarkana. And then when our source out of 977 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:19,520 Houston, who had been in touch with this lady for several 978 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,840 months. So he, she contacted him first 979 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:26,080 in November of 24. So she's before Blaze was even, 980 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,120 you know, into, into this at all. 981 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:34,520 She was already, you know, extracting information from him. 982 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:38,320 Now, you, you think about this, Kyle, if you have spent two 983 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,640 years or more of your life building a case against somebody 984 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,360 for stolen valor, because this is a passion of yours, are you 985 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,320 work with an organization that that's what you do. 986 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,240 Yeah. And then and then under Florida 987 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:55,160 law, it's a felony. It's a classic felony under 988 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,840 Florida law of stolen valor is. And so this particular source 989 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,360 out of Houston had been contacted and interviewed 990 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:07,760 multiple times by an FDLE agent, Florida Department of Law 991 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,880 Enforcement and so this. Is the state investigative 992 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,120 organization. Right. 993 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:17,200 Yeah. And so the last time that this 994 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:23,680 source had spoken to the FDLE agent was in August of, yeah, 995 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,360 August of 24. And then several months go by 996 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:33,200 and he gets a call or an e-mail actually, from Agent Shady out 997 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,560 of Orlando, FBI agent. And she said, I've been referred 998 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:43,320 to you on this Corey Mills stolen valor case. 999 00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,920 And he's like, hell yeah. Thank God. 1000 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,200 Finally, I got it to the right people, you know, the federal 1001 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,520 government. Preferred by whom? 1002 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,480 Exactly. No, no such context there. 1003 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,120 Yeah. We say NFI. 1004 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,080 But he's, yeah, but he's excited, right? 1005 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,920 You know, it's, it's the opposite of Reagan's. 1006 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,880 You know, I'm with the government and I'm here to help, 1007 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,640 you know, the 9 scariest words in the English language. 1008 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,040 But. But in this case, I'm with the 1009 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,800 government and I'm here to help. It's because this is what he's 1010 00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,600 been working on. Yeah, it's the difference 1011 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,120 between someone, a cop knocking on your door and your music 1012 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,160 might be too loud and you called 911 and you need help. 1013 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,880 These are when you request government assistance and you 1014 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,080 get it. It's actually pretty exciting 1015 00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,640 'cause you don't expect it to work, especially on something 1016 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,720 like this. OK, so so this is the source's 1017 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:35,760 motivation to to cooperate and help. 1018 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,560 So he's just vomiting out everything he knows about Corey 1019 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,640 Mills. I mean, sending her documents, 1020 00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:48,920 everything he has, everything he's accumulated, and and also 1021 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:55,280 giving her agent Shady the names of the prime sources because 1022 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,360 see, he wasn't a prime source. He's just one of these 1023 00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,000 researchers, right? That puts this stuff together. 1024 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,080 Yeah. Do you want to describe what 1025 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:02,840 that the the difference there secondary? 1026 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,160 Yeah. So he's, he's like working with 1027 00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,320 one of the stolen valor organizations now. 1028 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,960 He's got particular motivations in that he's, you know, he's a 1029 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,400 retired Marine. I guess you never retired from 1030 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:15,400 the Marine, but you know what I'm saying? 1031 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,240 Anyway, so he's a Marine. He was an actual real sniper 1032 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:25,120 where Corey Mills claimed to be and never was, which is another 1033 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:30,240 interesting part of his story. And so just one of these guys 1034 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,440 passionate about the whole stolen valor thing. 1035 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,520 And so he's been a researcher on this project, but he wasn't the 1036 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,760 prime source. The prime source are the actual 1037 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,880 individuals other servicemen who served with Corey who were there 1038 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,440 at the time, who were either eyewitnesses to Corey's actions 1039 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,720 are eyewitnesses to Corey wasn't emailing the feel the battle. 1040 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,800 So these are these are reporting parties that are saying the 1041 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,480 things that are being said are false. 1042 00:57:57,560 --> 00:57:59,400 And I have first hand knowledge of it. 1043 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,960 Researcher is compiling that data and making the the sort of 1044 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,320 report and saying this is what I believe our allegation is. 1045 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,200 And then you now have FDLE involved. 1046 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:14,320 You've got, theoretically, the FBI and Blaze Media, with our 1047 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,600 intrepid friends D Baker running down the story concurrently. 1048 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:20,520 Right. That that's where we're at. 1049 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:26,560 So this particular source out of Houston is now giving her the 1050 00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,240 name Agent Shady, the names of the prime sources. 1051 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:35,200 Now, I've never been an FBI agent before, but if you have 1052 00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,200 somebody give you the names of the actual eyewitnesses to the 1053 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,520 events that you're investigating, what's your next 1054 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,600 step? Yeah, there's basically two ways 1055 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,920 you would go about it in my in my, you know, book, I'm either 1056 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,720 going to make a phone call and ask to record it so I have a 1057 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,440 record, or I'm going to set a lead so that somebody else 1058 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,120 interviews that person in person. 1059 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,320 And the reason they do them in pairs, Steve, is because if you 1060 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,960 don't record it, which FBI agents are terrible about 1061 00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,880 recording, they think that their their account should only be the 1062 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,240 only account. And so why should we have a 1063 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,280 tape? My theory was always like, I 1064 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,440 don't remember everything perfectly. 1065 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,640 I'd rather just have the words and I can refer to them, you 1066 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,240 know, like real people do. But yeah, they'll send two 1067 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,800 people out, knock on the door, and they do a knock and talk and 1068 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,240 ask for a voluntary interview or they'll set it up like by e-mail 1069 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:22,440 or something. Can we have you come in? 1070 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,360 Yeah. But one way or another, you want 1071 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,000 to talk to these people, I would imagine and and in theory, you 1072 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,040 want to be able to memorialize that information. 1073 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:34,600 So I'm so I'm just with a, a singular, singular source right 1074 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,880 now. The researcher out of Houston, 1075 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,960 right. So agent Shady has never 1076 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,840 recorded one of their phone calls. 1077 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,480 They had multiple phone calls together. 1078 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,040 She never said, hey, you mind if I record this? 1079 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:50,120 You know the. And I think the only, and I'll 1080 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,000 and I'll steal man your argument here or I'll devil's advocate, 1081 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,480 but there's a possibility she doesn't need to. 1082 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,880 She doesn't have to ask. It's polite, it's customary to 1083 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,600 do so. It's a good rapport builder. 1084 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,680 But I don't think under the federal statute, the way that it 1085 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,320 works, one party consent is good enough for federal matters, even 1086 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,720 in states where it's not good. But FBI agents in general also 1087 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,160 try to play well within state law, and Florida is one of those 1088 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,120 places. It's a best practice that you 1089 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,240 would ask. I don't think she has to ask, so 1090 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,200 there's at least a small possibility she could have 1091 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,600 recorded without knowledge. But it's not normal, common or 1092 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:28,440 good practice, so that's just. And, and because she is 1093 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:35,040 ostensibly investigating a Congress member, you and I both 1094 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,360 know that that's called a SIM, right? 1095 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:42,760 Sensitive investigative matter. And because because it's a SIM, 1096 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,160 you would think he would probably be brought in or 1097 01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,440 somebody would come and sit down with him in pairs and maybe be a 1098 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:56,880 little bit more. This would be a you can help me 1099 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,440 with the with the terminology here that I'm struggling with 1100 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,480 but but something that would be a little bit more. 1101 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,120 It should be a lighter touch and and the level of approval to be 1102 01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,440 able to do this investigation would not be light. 1103 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,440 So if you wanted to go after a mayor, you'd have to get 1104 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:17,080 probably not just your boss's sign off on it as a SIM. 1105 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,160 You'd also have the, the chief division counsel would weigh in 1106 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,000 and likely either an ASAC or a special agent in charge. 1107 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,240 Those things are pretty good to go. 1108 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,800 That's at the at the local level, at the county level, at 1109 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,040 the state level, a state official, you might have to do 1110 01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,360 that and maybe even talk to somebody at Main Justice or 1111 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,000 somebody at at the Hoover building for a congressman in 1112 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,120 national federal office. It is undoubtedly going to have 1113 01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,240 weigh in from the Hoover building. 1114 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,080 You're going to get the office of general Counsel involved. 1115 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,080 There's no question in my mind headquarters in is involved in 1116 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,320 that because you're now playing with national politics and 1117 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,000 they're the people that control the FB is budget. 1118 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,880 So you better not screw it up. That's just one guy's take on 1119 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,560 it. But Fact Check me if you're an 1120 01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,200 FBI person, listen to this Fact Check me in the comments if you 1121 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,200 like. But I think I think that's solid 1122 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,920 analysis on my. My understanding, of course, 1123 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,720 because in what I've researched subsequent to my investigation 1124 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,560 here, is that the Attorney General would also be involved 1125 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,320 in this. Likely, yeah, at the at the 1126 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,840 federal level, whether it's an attorney general or a delegate, 1127 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:21,240 somebody like I said at at the DOJ main that is making real 1128 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:22,400 high level decisions is going to. 1129 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:29,320 Yeah. So now this guy is in Houston. 1130 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:35,840 It's a SIM, ostensibly because he has absolutely posed to this 1131 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:40,960 guy that I am investigating the stolen valor allegations of 1132 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:46,240 Congressman Corey Mills, right? Ostensibly on the behalf of the 1133 01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,640 Bureau. I like how we keep saying, 1134 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:50,720 ostensibly because this gets real shady soon. 1135 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:57,720 Yeah, yeah, shady. Shady And so as it turns out, so 1136 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:00,440 she starts speaking to him in November, late November of last 1137 01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:06,520 year, in late March of this year on his normal business, because 1138 01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,240 he he works for a living in his business. 1139 01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:14,120 He has to take a business trip to Orlando where Agent Shady is, 1140 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,240 you know, based out of perfect. And so he calls her out or he 1141 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,560 sends her a text. I have all the screenshots of 1142 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,080 their entire string of communication there. 1143 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,480 He sends her a text and said, hey, I've got to be in Orlando 1144 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:27,080 next week on these such and such a dates. 1145 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,400 It'd be great, you know, if we sat down. 1146 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,520 Remember, he is still enthusiastically giving her 1147 01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,120 everything that he can, everything he's still finding 1148 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,880 out about Corey. And by the way, there's a lot, 1149 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:41,720 there's a, there's a, there's a certain amount of momentum 1150 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:45,600 taking place right now in this because we're not the only ones 1151 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,360 that are doing this. I mean, we know, we know that 1152 01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,240 CNN has been contacting our our sources. 1153 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,040 We know that Rolling Stone is doing, I think Rolling Stone's 1154 01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,720 going to be doing a story on the more salacious nature of his 1155 01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,200 background and which is fine with us. 1156 01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,480 It's like, OK, you guys go be real. 1157 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,440 Sex, drugs and Rock'n'roll. Rolling Stone. 1158 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:07,480 We'll, we'll deal with the other stuff. 1159 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:14,240 And so he says I'll be there. And she said, OK, that'll be 1160 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,720 great. So he is not exactly sure when 1161 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,680 she'll have time. So he takes his three day work 1162 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,600 trip to Orlando. He books, he changes his flight 1163 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,040 schedule, adds an extra day on the front side and an extra day 1164 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,040 on the backside to accommodate right. 1165 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,960 And when he's on his way, she texts him and says, oh, sorry, 1166 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:35,240 I've got to go out of town, can't meet with you. 1167 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,400 She goes then, but she goes, I have I have somebody assisting 1168 01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:44,600 me in this investigation. And his name is Michael Chirac, 1169 01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:49,640 and he's ADOD investigator. Was he like Army CID or he was 1170 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:50,840 DoD proper? We don't know. 1171 01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:54,360 Well, I've I've learned what he is because we've found him. 1172 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,280 But as it turns out, the way he spells his last name, there's 1173 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,360 only two Michael Chiracs the way he spells his last name in the 1174 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,000 entire United States. One of them is an attorney in 1175 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:10,280 Ohio and the other guy is a Dodig e-mail address. 1176 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:12,680 Got it. Yeah. 1177 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,960 That's fairly conclusive. Yeah, and I think he's the son 1178 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:19,800 of the attorney and the 80 year old attorney in Ohio. 1179 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,800 The checks OK. Yeah, both both named Michael 1180 01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:31,360 and so he got so. OK, All right, well, I'll meet 1181 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:34,320 with him when I get down there. Well, Michael Schrock doesn't 1182 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,960 live in Florida. He lives in Arlington, TX. 1183 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,080 And so he gets to Orlando and she goes tech, tech, tech, tech. 1184 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:47,880 Sorry, Will, Michael's not going to be able to meet with you. 1185 01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:53,240 He's also out of town. Our source has no idea who 1186 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,920 Michael Chirac is. He has no idea he lives in 1187 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,840 Texas. He was just told that he would 1188 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,080 meet with him in our land. She's totally blowing smoke up 1189 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:05,560 his ass, you know. And so so he doesn't meet with 1190 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,400 her and he's changed his flight. So he ends up with a couple of 1191 01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,280 days vacation in Central Florida. 1192 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:20,240 So the story goes, as I said before, not only is he 1193 01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:25,080 regurgitating everything he has to Agent Shady, including the 1194 01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,960 names of prime sources, but now we're involved and now we're 1195 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,480 talking to them. So we're talking to the primes, 1196 01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,400 we're talking to the researchers, we're talking to 1197 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,920 the organizations that have been researching stolen valor. 1198 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,960 We're learning a lot more about Corey, not only his stolen valor 1199 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,240 issues, but his business dealings overseas. 1200 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:45,360 And, and then we're starting to learn about his personal life. 1201 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,320 And I'm not talking about the sex cathates. 1202 01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,280 There's some very interesting things regarding his personal 1203 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,880 life, which we've already done a couple of stories on. 1204 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:57,840 One of those is is that we have 5 different sources who will on 1205 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:03,320 the record have told us that he converted to Islam in 2013 two 1206 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:10,520 1014 and that he did so primarily we as the story goes, 1207 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,640 he married an Iraqi woman in 2014. 1208 01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,920 He was married in the Falls River Mosque, which you're 1209 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,560 familiar with. I am probably the most notorious 1210 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:25,600 mosque in in the country. And it was the imam who actually 1211 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:29,840 performed the ceremony. The Islamic marriage ceremony 1212 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:34,560 for them is one of the unindicted Co conspirators in 1213 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,800 the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. 1214 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,120 Do you want to you want to flesh out what that means just for 1215 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:41,840 people's awareness? People hear things like 1216 01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:46,280 unindicted Co conspirator. Not a Co conspirator means that 1217 01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,440 you're guilty, but you gave the right information to the Fed so 1218 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,080 they didn't. They didn't convict you or 1219 01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:53,960 charge you for the. Crime. 1220 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,200 They had information on you, at least probable cause to believe 1221 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,200 you were involved, but chose not to indict you for some reason, 1222 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,440 often times cooperation. Correct, correct. 1223 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,480 Just just so we're, we're not making slanderous statements 1224 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,040 here. What we are saying is these are 1225 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,120 things that that are pretty well documented, but less people you 1226 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,680 know have any problems making these thoughts. 1227 01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,680 Right and. And I've sat outside of that 1228 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,279 mosque. I've sat outside of that mosque. 1229 01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:20,439 And when you sent me the, the name of it, I told you where I 1230 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,640 used to sit and what I what, what streets we would go and 1231 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,760 what, what event, you know, vantage point and visibility we 1232 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,680 had for pickups. So I'm familiar with that 1233 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:28,520 mosque. Yeah. 1234 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:35,560 So now we have now we have a whole other line of inquiry that 1235 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,160 we're involved in in this process. 1236 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,439 It, it and it goes into his personal life. 1237 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,920 We discover that he's, he's fluent in Arabic. 1238 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:47,000 In fact, he speaks native, native. 1239 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:52,479 We've had people actually listen to them in interviews overseas 1240 01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,240 where he's speaking and answering, taking questions and 1241 01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,439 speaking in Arabic. And they're like going, he 1242 01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,560 doesn't even have an accent. He's like, wow. 1243 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,520 And that's pretty, that's pretty impressive. 1244 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,279 It's impressive. It's impressive. 1245 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:10,439 We also learned, I mean, there was 1000 things running through 1246 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,720 my head, but he, he, he claims that he has both a bachelor's 1247 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,640 and a master's from AMU American Military University. 1248 01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,720 We actually have the screenshot of the response from AMU said he 1249 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,680 never got a master's at our, our college, but that's what he's 1250 01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:30,080 claims on his website. There's just so many of these 1251 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:31,760 things that don't line up with him. 1252 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:37,840 And we'll go back to the, the, the sources telling us that he 1253 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,200 converted to Islam, like proudly telling them, you know, Oh no, 1254 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,120 I, I, I converted. It's great. 1255 01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:47,399 He's tried to, we have, we have other of his girlfriends on 1256 01:09:47,399 --> 01:09:52,160 record who's who told us that he tried to get them to convert to 1257 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,960 Islam. Young Christian ladies while he 1258 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,480 was married by the way, and I mean when you're you know, 1259 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,080 muzzle good buzzle making have what 4-5 wives can't remember. 1260 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,000 I'm not, I'm not familiar.

So, so sorry. 1263 01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:16,920 Yeah. Anyway, so. 1264 01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,920 Look, this goes to a deeper, A deeper statement. 1265 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:21,440 It's a, it's an operating principle. 1266 01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:23,920 I have people who will lie to you about small things like I 1267 01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,800 haven't been in a relationship, which by the way, he could have 1268 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,320 said like, look, I'm in a relationship, but it's on the 1269 01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,760 outs. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in a kind of 1270 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,680 an ugly breakup right now. I got a living girlfriend and 1271 01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,800 we, we've had some real troubles and you know, we're on the way 1272 01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,120 out and I'm about to be a guy that's off in the world. 1273 01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:39,560 And you, you know, I'd love to get to know you maybe as this is 1274 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,080 going on and just want to be upfront with you. 1275 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,680 You can do that too. By the way, that's a, that's 1276 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,400 also manipulative. There are ways you can actually 1277 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,360 spin it if you're a spinner. But if you're a liar, then 1278 01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,040 you're a liar. And it turns out that I keep 1279 01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,760 finding that people that are willing to have lies in their 1280 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,080 private life will have lies in their public life as well. 1281 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,480 And it, that's just a, that's just a, that's just their, their 1282 01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:01,600 modus operandi. They just choose, they choose 1283 01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:05,520 falsehood conveniently. And so, you know, that doesn't 1284 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:07,440 substantiate what he's doing, but it is interesting that it 1285 01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:08,800 starts off with a lie about a date. 1286 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:14,440 Yeah, and there's and there's nothing wrong with him if he, if 1287 01:11:14,440 --> 01:11:16,280 he decided to, this is America, right? 1288 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,560 If he decided you wanted to convert to Islam, assalamu 1289 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,000 alaikum, you know, whatever. Yeah. 1290 01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,680 Whatever those words mean, whatever terrorist, I can't 1291 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:24,640 speak that. Yeah, right. 1292 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:28,720 Right, you know, do do do your thing, but now go home to your 1293 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:34,720 district in Central Florida and tell them that don't go launch 1294 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:41,720 your campaign in the home of a interdenominational quote UN 1295 01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:48,520 quote Word of Faith church and introduce your pastors to the 1296 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,560 country or to your you know, your your your potential 1297 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,360 constituency people.

I mean, just every time we we 1316 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,040 look at something new, there's just another little lie, another 1317 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,800 lie, another lie, another lie. It's just it's like the whole 1318 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:57,160 story of this guy's history is falling apart before our eyes. 1319 01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,400 Now I'm talking to our other sources. 1320 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:03,480 We have other sources that that Agent Shady has also contacted. 1321 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:09,000 And finally, one of the three that that she has reached out 1322 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,560 to. And by the way, she never 1323 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,680 reached out to a single one of the Primes. 1324 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:19,840 So our Houston source, the researcher, he gave her five the 1325 01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:24,840 names of five prime sources. And this was since last 1326 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:32,840 November, as of May 7th, when she cut off contact on the day 1327 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,760 that Blaze released its first story about Cory Mills. 1328 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,000 Not about her, not about Agent Shady. 1329 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:40,080 That came last week. But when? 1330 01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:45,520 But when Blaze released its first story, Shady went away. 1331 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,560 Never contacted any sources. But up until that that time, and 1332 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,560 then before we published my story about Agent Shady last 1333 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:58,680 week, we contacted the Primes. Have you been contacted by Agent 1334 01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,000 Shady at any time? Nope, never been contacted. 1335 01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,000 Don't know who she is. Who are you talking about? 1336 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:07,800 OK. So if you're investigating 1337 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:12,200 stolen valor, you're contacting the primes especially. 1338 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:14,560 It's not like it was an oversight. 1339 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,520 She started this investigation in November and we're in May. 1340 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:24,080 Yes, all right, one would think.

Now in early April, the Mills 1374 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:43,160 team, including Congressman Mills himself, knows that The 1375 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:47,960 Blaze is looking at him and they know we're talking to all the 1376 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:52,320 people, including him, reaching out to him for information. 1377 01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:59,600 And suddenly Agent Shady shows up on the, you know, the DMS of 1378 01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:03,520 this source that runs the website and says, can we meet 1379 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:07,080 again? And she says, yeah, that'd be 1380 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:08,040 great. She doesn't know. 1381 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,920 She didn't know anything. She doesn't know that we're 1382 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,720 working an investigation. And so they go meet at the 1383 01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,960 Starbucks again by herself unaccompanied solo. 1384 01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,880 The agent is and she doesn't record. 1385 01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,600 She sipped her coffee again and she announces the at the 1386 01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:29,640 beginning of this meeting. She says, just so you know, we 1387 01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:35,000 are no longer looking at Cory Mills stolen valor where we 1388 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:36,800 don't think that there's any there there. 1389 01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:40,400 We think there's a he has enough plausible deniability that 1390 01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,640 there's just we're not going to pursue that any longer. 1391 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:46,880 What we're mostly interested in now is what you know about his 1392 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:54,280 business dealings. OK, Again, the lady who runs the 1393 01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,560 website says, sure, what do you want to know? 1394 01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:01,320 I'll tell you everything I know. And so that's where the 1395 01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,640 conversation goes. So they reached the end of this, 1396 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:09,080 April 11th, sit down between Agent Shady and the lady who 1397 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:17,400 runs corymillswatch.com. And the agent says, can I ask 1398 01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:22,360 you, this is a big, this is a big ask, but would you be 1399 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:28,600 interested in becoming a confidential human source for 1400 01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:33,440 compensation to assist us in this investigation and shit? 1401 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,400 And again, the lady says, yeah, well, I don't know what that 1402 01:18:36,400 --> 01:18:38,560 means. But if it's if, if it's 1403 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,640 investigating Corey Mills, hell yeah, I'll do it. 1404 01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:43,560 You know, whatever we need to do to take him out, take him down. 1405 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,760 I'm I'm all in. And she goes, OK, she goes well. 1406 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,880 Further, would you be interested or would you be willing to 1407 01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:58,360 actually go undercover in this operation to help us learn 1408 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:03,720 information from another lady? And she used the word 1409 01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:06,480 undercover. Yes, use the word undercover. 1410 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:12,320 Would you be willing to go undercover or pay to learn 1411 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:18,160 information from another lady about this investigation? 1412 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,880 She said yes, absolutely I would. 1413 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,440 And they stood up. They parted and she never heard 1414 01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:33,320 from Agent Shady again. Well, Kyle, I'm you know, this 1415 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,080 is, this is only circumstantial. There's no absolute connective 1416 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:42,040 tissue here that can like we can prove this, but at this point in 1417 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:48,160 the Cory Mills story, there is only one other lady who has been 1418 01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:51,440 looking into the history of Cory Mills and. 1419 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,640 That's Jill Savage. That's Jill Savage, Blaze News. 1420 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,680 So the first meeting at the Starbucks and the follow up 1421 01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,240 meeting at the Starbucks both sound like source recruitment 1422 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:02,640 meets. That's what I would have said it 1423 01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:04,760 was. If it's a solo individual agent 1424 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:06,440 and then maybe you bring somebody else, generally you 1425 01:20:06,440 --> 01:20:07,920 bring somebody else for like an admonishment. 1426 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,600 But some sources are handled solo. 1427 01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,640 That's not crazy. There's also this like it's some 1428 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:16,360 policy violation, but it's not, you know, it's not terminal. 1429 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,160 People would do what's called a hip pocket source where you're 1430 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,480 running a source out of your pocket and you don't actually 1431 01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:22,600 declare them. And so they are not on the books 1432 01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,320 per SE, but you're getting information from them. 1433 01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,080 And usually that's for stuff that's not going to be. 1434 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,080 It's usually not going to go into a criminal case. 1435 01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,600 It's not going to go, you know, it's background information kind 1436 01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,040 of stuff. So people might have a hip 1437 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:35,920 pocket source, but FBI agents get credit for having sources. 1438 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:41,080 What I don't like is the idea that you're trying to recruit 1439 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,680 someone to, quote UN quote, go into something that they're not 1440 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,320 already in, because what training does that Lady have for 1441 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:47,120 infiltration? Nothing. 1442 01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,000 Yeah. And, and, you know, who approved 1443 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,520 that sort of a thing that's like, that's A to approve a, you 1444 01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:55,680 know, try to, you're going to try to embed somebody into an 1445 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,960 organization. And I haven't, I've been like on 1446 01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:00,720 the edge of it. You know, people in my squads 1447 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,000 have done that. I think it requires a little bit 1448 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,320 more than like some lady. Now, for whatever it's worth, 1449 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:11,040 Shady Tally Bradley is a long time FBI agent and she's 1450 01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,800 relatively senior, so she's not new to the game. 1451 01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,760 And we found out that she used to work at inspection Division 1452 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,280 at headquarters for a long time. We also know that she is a 1453 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:23,480 retired Army Full Bird Colonel. And what was the unit that she 1454 01:21:23,480 --> 01:21:28,120 was in? I don't recall, but I've. 1455 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:29,840 What kind of units do you remember? 1456 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,240 What her? Yeah, it's, it's in, it's in the 1457 01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,280 fact sheet that was she spoke at an event last week that I, you 1458 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:40,040 know, Memorial Day event that I visit. 1459 01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:41,280 Ambush. Man, that was an ambush. 1460 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:42,280 Journalism. I saw it. 1461 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,760 You notice I was very polite in the way I ambushed her. 1462 01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:52,640 But it was, it was a all, all of the publicity and local media 1463 01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:55,400 about her being the keynote speaker for this Memorial Day 1464 01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:59,760 event in another suburb outside of Orlando. 1465 01:21:59,960 --> 01:22:06,840 And it was, it listed her deployments and her 1466 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,640 accomplishments and who she was with and what divisions and blah 1467 01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,080 blah, blah. Her military record right to a 1468 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:17,760 certain extent highlights the one thing that it left out is 1469 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,720 that nowhere and not a single advanced piece of publication or 1470 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,760 news story about her being the keynote speaker of the event was 1471 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,520 that she was a current FBI agent, which. 1472 01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:29,680 Does seem like things that people put in when you're 1473 01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,440 talking about service and and like that. 1474 01:22:31,440 --> 01:22:33,040 Why? Why would you ever admit that? 1475 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:37,520 I I don't know. I don't know so. 1476 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,400 I still don't have a good answer for that, by the way. 1477 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:41,000 Like that's not like that's a real question. 1478 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,480 Why would you admit that? Yeah, well, that was the first 1479 01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:45,400 question I asked her, remember. I do. 1480 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,800 We waited and. She doesn't know the answer to 1481 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:49,440 that either though. Steve, I, I listened to her 1482 01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:50,840 answer. She also doesn't know why she 1483 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,960 didn't. She's not sure she's an FBI. 1484 01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:54,440 I don't know what you're talking about. 1485 01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:56,840 Yeah, I know people who work with her, so that's weird. 1486 01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,440 Right, right. Which by the way, came out right 1487 01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:01,600 after your story. They were like, oh, that's Shay. 1488 01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,120 I know her. I've done, I've worked 1489 01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:05,640 inspections with her and things like that. 1490 01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:06,400 So. Wow. 1491 01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,720 So the we were very, I was very polite. 1492 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:12,800 I had a couple people with me. We had one, one of those 1493 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,640 suspendables was with me as well. 1494 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:20,760 Yeah. And and then I had a another 1495 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:24,040 really fun guy with me, a particular European intelligence 1496 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:28,000 community guy that's been assisting me on on another 1497 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,560 story. And so he was there and he was 1498 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:35,440 actually running the camera that we used for the for the shot. 1499 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:43,200 Yeah, so we were very, you know, very unobtrusive. 1500 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,160 I wore my, I wore my Blaze media badge, you know, my press badge. 1501 01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,200 And there was a lot of media there. 1502 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,040 So I acted and behaved with the media. 1503 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,160 The other two just became part of the audience. 1504 01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:57,480 And we documented everything, photos, video of the entire 1505 01:23:57,480 --> 01:24:00,160 event. And then there was there was 1 1506 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,440 outside to the memorial wall and there was taps was played and, 1507 01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:08,120 you know, Pledge of Allegiance and some other speeches that 1508 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,200 were outside. And then it was the event was 1509 01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,520 over. And so as everybody was leaving, 1510 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,720 I looked at my guys and I said, now we're doing it now. 1511 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,280 And so while she was separated from the crowd, because we did, 1512 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,040 we, we had no intention of making a scene, you know, we 1513 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,680 were not going to do that type of ambush journalism. 1514 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,680 And so very unobtrusively, I walked up to her and and asked 1515 01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,240 her. I said Colonel Tally Bradley 1516 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,240 isn't true. You're also an FBI agent. 1517 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:36,760 Yeah. You know what, I'll splice that 1518 01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:38,320 in right here just so people can listen to it. 1519 01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:39,880 But we'll let people listen with their own ears. 1520 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,920 So yeah.

It was like, yeah. 1547 01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,520 It's gotta, I think it needs to go into your like your snooping 1548 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,600 poop bag where you never know when you might have to go and do 1549 01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:02,720 something like walk up with your cell phone and get A and get a 1550 01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:07,120 thing 'cause there is there's some mumbling under her breath 1551 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,160 that I'm really curious about what it was more about like the 1552 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,480 fact that she was so evasive. And I think it's just having a 1553 01:26:11,480 --> 01:26:12,600 little audio there wouldn't hurt. 1554 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:16,000 But yeah, she didn't know the answer to your question, Steve. 1555 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,880 So like, you know. Yeah, the the, the predominant 1556 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,200 answer to my question was I don't know what you're talking 1557 01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:23,320 about. Well, I mean, that's a lie. 1558 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,160 She obviously knew what I was. Talking, she obviously did. 1559 01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,600 And and what did you? Make of that. 1560 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:34,160 I mean, I, I going into it, there was no way I ever expected 1561 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,840 her to answer anything. You know, I, I, I did not expect 1562 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:38,680 an answer. I just wanted to get the non 1563 01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:42,920 answers in whatever form that came out on video and I did so 1564 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:44,320 it was great. It worked. 1565 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:50,400 And it also, this is where the story gets really, really long. 1566 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,760 And I, I feel like we probably ought to just give the, the, the 1567 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,680 Super Reader's Digest condensed elevator version of it is how I 1568 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:02,000 got this information to the 7th floor of the Uber building. 1569 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:09,160 Because before that ambush, I already had a thumbs up from the 1570 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:12,600 top floor at Hoover that I was right. 1571 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,720 That this was off the books, This was not something that was 1572 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:19,760 a predicated investigation that the FBI was doing, that she was 1573 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:23,240 doing some sort of, by the way, that like, I don't know any 1574 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,520 example of that in my life. I don't know anybody that's done 1575 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:26,440 it. I'm sure it happens. 1576 01:27:26,440 --> 01:27:28,440 There must be some people like people you find out that they've 1577 01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:31,800 been using FBI databases and looking up a girlfriend and 1578 01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,840 finding out, you know, like going through accurate and 1579 01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,080 finding out like who else they dated or so like guys do that 1580 01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:37,520 because and, and women do it too. 1581 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,280 They try to figure out who the connections are in their lives, 1582 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,000 their private lives. I've never heard of someone 1583 01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:42,440 doing it on behalf of a politician. 1584 01:27:42,440 --> 01:27:46,200 That's pretty interesting. I, I actually and I'm I'm I'm 1585 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,400 looking it up here because I want I want to actually read 1586 01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:48,840 this. I was. 1587 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,600 Going to say how much can you say about what your access to 1588 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,520 the 7th floor look like and. There's very, there's very 1589 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,960 little I can be specific about, but I'll, I'll tell you. 1590 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:02,320 I'll tell you what I can as I, as I pull up this actual 1591 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:08,680 statement here. The the bottom line is, is that 1592 01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:16,680 it was very, very difficult reporting this because as I came 1593 01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:20,040 to my conclusion that she was working off book or working 1594 01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:21,920 rogue. Or if you guys actually have a 1595 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:23,120 name for that, I don't, I don't know. 1596 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:24,000 What the name would be? Yeah. 1597 01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,000 Yeah. So that's, that's the way we 1598 01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,280 we've characterized is that once I came to that conclusion, I 1599 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:33,200 came to the conclusion the best way for me to get on the inside 1600 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:37,440 to get this story into the system was to report a possible 1601 01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:39,320 crime, a public corruption crime. 1602 01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:44,600 Which would be her operating, I would call it using her official 1603 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:48,840 title for a, for like her private capacity interests or 1604 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:50,640 something to that effect. But that that would be public 1605 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,600 corruption, yeah. My, my assumption to this day, 1606 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:57,160 and again, we don't have the we haven't connected her to 1607 01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:58,480 Congressman Mills. Yeah. 1608 01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,920 But my assumption has been, and the the working premise that 1609 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,960 I've been working on is that she was reporting directly to him or 1610 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:10,840 to one of his surrogates and about what we knew as a news 1611 01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:15,240 organization, but also what our sources knew about what we were 1612 01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,440 going to be reporting on going forward. 1613 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,560 So that he could, as a congressman with him and his PR 1614 01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:23,760 people could get ahead of it or, you know, or tamp it down in 1615 01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:28,520 some manner. And and so that was my 1616 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:36,600 conclusion. Educated, but not proven. 1617 01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:42,120 All right so so I I did the the 1st and the most obvious thing 1618 01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:46,160 is I contacted the Tampa field office to try and and asked for 1619 01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,320 public corruption SSA supervisory special agent right? 1620 01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:56,080 And Tampa absolutely refused to pass me along to anyone that 1621 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,960 took my name and number, would not hand me off to an SSA and 1622 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:06,160 never got a call back. So I went to national intake. 1623 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:07,640 What? What's the tip line called you 1624 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:08,320 guys? Have a talk. 1625 01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,280 Yeah, The National Tactical Operations Center. 1626 01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,680 Yeah. So I went through the national 1627 01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:16,120 process. And by the way, if you ever need 1628 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:18,880 to call the FBI, don't bother. It's it. 1629 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:23,520 I mean, it's like you get trapped in 30 minutes of robotic 1630 01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:26,120 voicemail, you know, things that you have to and then you have to 1631 01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:29,680 divulge all your information before anybody will talk to you. 1632 01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:31,080 You have to give them everything. 1633 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,680 You know, your, your, your second born Social Security 1634 01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:36,760 number and everything to even get to anybody online. 1635 01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:39,360 And of course I have the other unique problem is that by the 1636 01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:43,680 time I've given the electronic robot, robotic phone system all 1637 01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,480 of my information and I finally get somebody on the phone and 1638 01:30:46,480 --> 01:30:49,120 they've got my thing pulled up on the screen, they go, Oh, 1639 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,560 yeah, he's a misdemeanor domestic terrorist from January 1640 01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:55,680 6th. I wonder if that even affected 1641 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:59,800 the fact affected the the reason for them never calling me back 1642 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:04,240 because not only did Orlando never, I'm sorry, Tampa never 1643 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:08,080 called me back. When I finally got through at 1644 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:12,600 the national intake, they said, yeah, we don't have anybody we 1645 01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:13,920 can turn you over to, but I will. 1646 01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,560 I will pass this along. That's what I was told. 1647 01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:21,520 I waited two days. I waited 2 days, no callback. 1648 01:31:22,440 --> 01:31:26,440 Well I live in North Carolina so my next step was to call 1649 01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:28,760 Charlotte. Field office in Charlotte. 1650 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:33,000 Went through the same thing. Went through the whole EP and 1651 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,680 hell of the robotic system and not a single option you can 1652 01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:43,520 choose from from the Charlotte robot doesn't send you back to 1653 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,040 national. You cannot get Charlotte on the 1654 01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,440 phone directly. The Charlotte, the published 1655 01:31:48,440 --> 01:31:52,360 Charlotte phone number, Charlotte area code does not get 1656 01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:54,080 you to Charlotte. It sends you to National. 1657 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:57,880 Every single possible option that you can select sends you to 1658 01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,040 National. And so I got back to National. 1659 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,560 By the time I get back to National though, now through 1660 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,800 some of my friends, I now have the name of the public 1661 01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,680 corruption SSA agent in Charlotte. 1662 01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:15,880 And I get back on with National, go through the whole robotic 1663 01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:19,120 system again, frustrated as hell. 1664 01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:23,800 And then I demanded to speak to that individual in Charlotte. 1665 01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:29,840 And so they transferred me and I actually got a human in 1666 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,680 Charlotte on the phone. And then I asked for the 1667 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:37,480 individual, the SSA public correctional SASSA in Charlotte, 1668 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:39,480 and they said we'll give him the number. 1669 01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,080 Well, by that time I had also had his desk number. 1670 01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:47,840 I called his desk number. Never got a return call from 1671 01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:50,280 Charlotte. Makes you feel good. 1672 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,600 I mean, Dan Bongino said. It's your FBI. 1673 01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:53,880 Do you feel pretty good about that? 1674 01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:01,360 I'll tell you what your. FBI is not doing a great job. 1675 01:33:01,440 --> 01:33:04,240 Steve Baker. It was and I've had to go 1676 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:08,600 through this with the IRS before and it's it's hell on earth 1677 01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:10,760 going through it to get somebody on the phone with the IRS. 1678 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:15,440 This is far worse, far worse. So I went through Tampa National 1679 01:33:15,440 --> 01:33:19,920 twice, Charlotte twice, nothing. Never returned phone call. 1680 01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:24,840 So 2 Thursdays ago I woke up pissed off 9:00 in the morning. 1681 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:31,200 Soon as the soon as the the office was open I happened to 1682 01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,920 have a couple of phone numbers in this phone right here from 1683 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:40,240 before they were in the 7th floor of the Hoover building. 1684 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:45,640 And I said, what the hell, I've respected those numbers. 1685 01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,480 I have not called cash cash's number in a year and a half. 1686 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:53,320 It's not something you do, even as a journalist, you don't. 1687 01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:56,520 You respect those boundaries and you know when, when to save, 1688 01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:03,560 save your time. So I I typed out a text message 1689 01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:07,880 about this long, just enough info to let them know what my 1690 01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:10,840 frustrations were and what the problem was, and that they had 1691 01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:15,040 the very, very likely a rogue agent working on behalf of a 1692 01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:19,200 corrupt Congress member. And that we were about to 1693 01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:21,880 release a story. And I needed information and I 1694 01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:25,560 needed help on this right away. Within seconds. 1695 01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:33,000 I had a call back from a personal assistant there within 1696 01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:40,120 seconds of that text going out. And when I got it, I'm just like 1697 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,080 those sources. I was excited to give them 1698 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,800 everything I knew I didn't. I didn't give them everything I 1699 01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:48,200 knew. I gave them just enough to let 1700 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,200 them know what was happening down there and then. 1701 01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,960 So this was Thursday morning two weeks ago. 1702 01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:03,160 And by the end of that day, I was told that this had been 1703 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:07,600 elevated to the deputy director's desk and to the 1704 01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:13,640 general counsel's desk by and then and this was, and they're, 1705 01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:16,640 they're, believe me, they're asking me questions all day. 1706 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:21,600 And I'm giving them as many specifics as I can as I was 1707 01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:26,920 willing to, to help to assist them in tracking this down on 1708 01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:29,320 Friday, same thing all day Friday. 1709 01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:35,360 By close of business on Friday, I not only was assured that the 1710 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:39,360 director had been briefed and that this had been handed in 1711 01:35:39,480 --> 01:35:41,560 total to the general counsel to deal with. 1712 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:49,720 And then I got an official statement from FBI unlike 1713 01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,200 anything. I had it pulled up on my phone 1714 01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,400 and now my phone now dumps me out here. 1715 01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:59,080 But so you know you know what the pat answer anytime you ask 1716 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:01,320 the FBI about an. FBI does not comment on an 1717 01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,280 ongoing investigation. All inquiries can be done to the 1718 01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,840 PAO and will inform the public at a time that's convenient, 1719 01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:09,000 that won't jeopardize prosecution, blah blah blah blah 1720 01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:10,800 blah, whatever. That's it, That's it. 1721 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:14,360 Bottom line is we've heard 1000 times is we cannot comment, 1722 01:36:14,440 --> 01:36:16,280 comment on an ongoing investigation. 1723 01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:20,720 All right, so I have read this statement that I'm about to read 1724 01:36:21,000 --> 01:36:22,240 to you and your audience right now. 1725 01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:29,080 I have read this to retired Sachs, retired s s as that have 1726 01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:34,560 been, and they and, and with each one of them have gone, Oh 1727 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:37,960 my God, wow. Just wow. 1728 01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:39,880 And then they repeat it. They're like, wow. 1729 01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:45,920 My entire career, I've never heard them give a statement like 1730 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,000 this. So here it is. 1731 01:36:48,480 --> 01:36:51,200 This is the official statement we were given and allowed to 1732 01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:51,760 publish. What? 1733 01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:53,480 Was the format that this came in. 1734 01:36:54,560 --> 01:37:00,160 This was given to me in text, so obviously I have a from the. 1735 01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,320 Yeah, that's my. Source 7th floor of the 1736 01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:07,640 building. We are not aware of the conduct 1737 01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:11,400 in question, but we'll review the matter immediately. 1738 01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:14,880 We're not aware of the conduct in question, but investigation 1739 01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:18,600 into a sitting member of Congress not likely. 1740 01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:25,560 As always, any unethical behavior will be addressed 1741 01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:29,920 swiftly and appropriately, the spokesperson said. 1742 01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:34,240 And this was on Friday night close of business. 1743 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:38,520 So not only did they say we are not aware of misconduct and then 1744 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:42,440 they went said, and then we will address this unethical behavior 1745 01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:47,440 swiftly and appropriately. And I had specifically asked for 1746 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:54,400 and I, I, I'm trying to make sure I don't violate the, you 1747 01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,200 know, ethics of what was off the record, what was background, 1748 01:37:57,200 --> 01:37:59,160 that sort of thing. But I'll just say this. 1749 01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:03,200 I asked for a flair. I asked for a bat signal if we 1750 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,400 had it wrong. I said, if we have this wrong. 1751 01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,040 I said, because Glenn Beck has a good relationship with Cash. 1752 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:12,360 Glenn Beck has a good relationship with Dan Ponchina. 1753 01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:16,680 Don't let me fuck that up. That's fair. 1754 01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:24,040 For that, and I said, will you give me a bat signal or just say 1755 01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,720 stop? Yeah, you got this wrong. 1756 01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:29,920 Yeah, that's all I need. And instead I got that. 1757 01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:39,840 And then on Saturday morning, the spokesperson gave me, added 1758 01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:41,440 to it. They said you can add this. 1759 01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,520 They said that. Means another meeting happened. 1760 01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:47,600 By the way, Steve, that means other another discussion 1761 01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:49,520 happened and everybody slept on it and thought more things go 1762 01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,040 ahead. The the, the only addition was a 1763 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:54,320 single sentence. Very simple, but but speaks 1764 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,960 volumes. Senior leadership was made aware 1765 01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:00,160 of the situation. I was given permission to say 1766 01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:07,840 that. And and so I'm like, OK, relief, 1767 01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:11,240 you know, it's like, OK, I got it right. 1768 01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:15,640 You know, I got it right. And the the weeks that I had 1769 01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:20,840 spent investigating agent, you know, shady was correct. 1770 01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:25,160 And now unless we hear through the Grapevine that she's been 1771 01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:29,320 suspended or disciplined in some manner or whatever, you know, 1772 01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,320 well, that's that's that's probably the last thing that I 1773 01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:35,000 will ever hear on this directly from FBI official. 1774 01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:38,440 I doubt very seriously that I will ever get anything else on 1775 01:39:38,440 --> 01:39:40,960 that. But I didn't get the bat signal. 1776 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:45,960 I didn't, I wasn't told to stop. And I got an, a statement from 1777 01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:49,320 the Bureau unlike anything we've ever seen that from them before. 1778 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,880 And, and so we felt pretty good about it and we ran with the 1779 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,280 story obviously, which is on blazetheblaze.com. 1780 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:57,520 Everybody should take a look at that. 1781 01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:01,800 You know, we've got several articles in the Corey Mills 1782 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:03,680 series out. There's going to, there's going 1783 01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:07,280 to be more, there's probably going to be more on this related 1784 01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,680 to this particular investigation as well. 1785 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,720 But there'll be, there'll be other stories as well with his 1786 01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:18,400 when we're talking about Corey Mills relationships to the IC, 1787 01:40:18,440 --> 01:40:20,400 the intelligence community, there'll be more on that as 1788 01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:21,880 well. Because in the process of me 1789 01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:25,680 diving into this, other things have revealed themselves. 1790 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,960 I imagine so. Yeah, so that's pretty much the 1791 01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:34,280 the long and the short of it. And as I said, I've done my best 1792 01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,280 to avoid the salacious. So I'm going to let, as I said, 1793 01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:38,560 I'll let Rolling Stone handle that part of it. 1794 01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:42,800 But he's a, he's a player and very prolifically so. 1795 01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:45,120 So that's there's that aspect of his life. 1796 01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:51,240 He does sell weapons internationally and 1797 01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:55,480 interestingly, after he married this Iraqi woman in that mosque 1798 01:40:55,480 --> 01:41:00,080 by that imam in 2014, within a year, less than a year after 1799 01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:09,400 that marriage, he was granted a $228 million government grant 1800 01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:13,600 for his startup weapons sales business. 1801 01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:19,880 Say that one more time for me $228 million startup grant. 1802 01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:23,080 From the federal government. Do we know what? 1803 01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:24,720 What department? Is it a DoD? 1804 01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:32,040 I, I don't know which department it is, but it's, it's all public 1805 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,320 record. I just don't remember through 1806 01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:38,400 all the piles of documents that I've looked at where to come 1807 01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:43,160 from. But in that business, he has 1808 01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:49,760 become a very, very wealthy man. And as I said, he's he's been 1809 01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:55,480 able to live quite well, travel quite well. 1810 01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:57,560 We follow. We have somebody that actually 1811 01:41:57,640 --> 01:41:59,440 follows his jet everywhere it goes. 1812 01:41:59,440 --> 01:42:01,680 Internationally, he spends. A lot on his own jet. 1813 01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,880 Or does he rent it? We think it's rented but but 1814 01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,160 it's but it's, you know, once you get the tail number. 1815 01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:10,760 Yeah, as you know, you know, you know, it can be tracked, but 1816 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,240 he's. He's flying in the same jet, so 1817 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,360 he either has like a jet share program or something to that 1818 01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,160 effect. So he's got, he's, he spends a 1819 01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:21,360 lot of time in Syria, United Arab Emirates, you know, Dubai. 1820 01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:24,800 The usual places like that's where I mean, that's where I 1821 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:26,640 expect my Congress people to hang out, especially if they're 1822 01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:30,080 from Florida. Where did he learn, by the way? 1823 01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:34,160 By the way, by the way, before I answer that question, his 1824 01:42:34,160 --> 01:42:38,000 company, which is his shares or his holdings are now on a blind 1825 01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:39,640 trust because he's a congressman, right? 1826 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:45,600 It's now run by the chairwoman of the company is his estranged 1827 01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:47,200 wife, who he's not yet divorced from. 1828 01:42:47,440 --> 01:42:49,760 No big deal. She she still runs the company. 1829 01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:55,760 They have offices overseas in the Middle East, one for 1830 01:42:55,760 --> 01:43:00,320 instance in Pakistan and the and on the company website right 1831 01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:06,160 now, today they have an open office in Kabul, Afghanistan. 1832 01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:14,120 Cool, no big deal. Yes, Congressman, but I mean, I 1833 01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:17,280 mean, he's not responsible right now because his interests are in 1834 01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:19,880 a blind trust. So he can't, yeah, he can't say 1835 01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,640 anything, obviously. He obviously doesn't know what's 1836 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:23,440 going on. And obviously when he's when 1837 01:43:23,440 --> 01:43:26,000 he's travelling overseas in the Middle East in his private jet, 1838 01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,720 he's not talking about this company at all. 1839 01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:33,880 No, he would never do that. I'm sure not what Do you know 1840 01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:36,680 how he learned or where he learned Arabic or when that came 1841 01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:39,440 about? No, we've not been able to pin 1842 01:43:39,440 --> 01:43:41,120 that down yet. Did his guys that knew him in 1843 01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:43,960 the military have that know that about him? 1844 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,520 I don't think that they knew it then, but I think it became 1845 01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:52,960 evident that he did when he was working with Dyncorp because he 1846 01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:57,480 was a very valuable asset to them at the time in that because 1847 01:43:57,480 --> 01:43:58,840 he was doing translations for them. 1848 01:43:59,320 --> 01:44:00,560 Wild. Yeah. 1849 01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:05,040 And so we don't know exactly where that became important to 1850 01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:07,640 him. You know, sometimes you marry 1851 01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:12,440 into a, you know, foreign, you know, family with or you marry 1852 01:44:12,440 --> 01:44:15,240 somebody from a foreign land and you become passionate about 1853 01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:16,960 learning their language. You know, even if you're not 1854 01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:19,760 using it every day, you want to have such thing in common. 1855 01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:23,920 So but if he apparently was very affluent in Arabic before he 1856 01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:29,560 married the Iraqi woman? All right, well, we'll just not 1857 01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,400 talk about like what the CIA does and giving people money 1858 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,320 until another time when we have time to talk. 1859 01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:37,920 We. Will we will, we will table that 1860 01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:42,960 until we learn more about what his connections are there. 1861 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:48,600 Because look, I, I, I don't think it's common knowledge, but 1862 01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:53,040 you don't get to be an international arms dealer unless 1863 01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:56,000 you're working for or being worked by the CIA. 1864 01:44:56,520 --> 01:45:01,120 Yeah, and I also am now concerned about the I have some 1865 01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:04,000 more questions about Shay. I wonder if she ever did the 1866 01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:10,640 exchange program with the CIA. I wonder if in fact she wasn't 1867 01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:13,840 reporting to them. Well, the FBI has an open line. 1868 01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,360 Like I said, they they loan agents on, you know that we've 1869 01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:18,400 talked about this before, but it's not common knowledge to 1870 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,480 most people. The Bureau actually does have a 1871 01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:24,480 source handling program where they, they straight up put FBI 1872 01:45:24,480 --> 01:45:30,280 agents into the, the agency training, put them through the 1873 01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:33,720 farm and train them as case officers to operate with 1874 01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:36,520 National Resource. And you know, who I'd love to 1875 01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:38,480 recruit are like people who travel overseas. 1876 01:45:38,480 --> 01:45:40,040 I mean, that's what they do. That's what NR does. 1877 01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:42,120 That's what the CI as domestic arm does. 1878 01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:43,520 And then there's nothing nefarious about it. 1879 01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:45,280 You go and you find people who are business folks that are 1880 01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,040 going to be overseas. You're going to find people that 1881 01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:49,760 are going to go be in China for, for legitimate and above board 1882 01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:51,200 purposes. And you just ask them to report 1883 01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:53,880 back certain things or maybe get some Intel on, on folks that 1884 01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:55,680 they meet. And, you know, this is common. 1885 01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:57,560 And by the way, every other country does the same thing. 1886 01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:58,960 This is not like something that's unique. 1887 01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:00,920 That's what intelligence work is. 1888 01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:06,160 Yeah, and by the way, we have very openly, we have Corey Mills 1889 01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:10,560 in a recorded interview, not not recording a public, this is a 1890 01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,280 public statement. It's like a podcast he did. 1891 01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:16,120 I think it may have been with, oh, I don't remember which one. 1892 01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,080 There's there's just too, too many of these things floating 1893 01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:20,200 through my mind right now. But he literally on one of these 1894 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,320 podcasts he does, he talks about how he was a green Badger with 1895 01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,560 the the agency. Good. 1896 01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:27,000 OK. Done. 1897 01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:31,400 He's got that as well. I mean, it's not bad. 1898 01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:35,040 It's not a bad thing. People work there, plenty of 1899 01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:35,640 more. Patriotic. 1900 01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:37,640 Maybe there's a good reason for all. 1901 01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:40,040 Of it, maybe, maybe 10 or 15% of them, yeah. 1902 01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:46,760 I tend to know, I had friends in the, in the CIA tell me that 1903 01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:48,960 they, they are less worried about the CIA than they were 1904 01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:51,520 about the FBI, which should tell you a lot about the world that 1905 01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:53,320 we live in. And I also will have to, of 1906 01:46:53,320 --> 01:46:55,640 course, my buddy Ryan Maddow likes to tell me everything is 1907 01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:58,440 the CIA's fault. It's it's almost never the CIA's 1908 01:46:58,440 --> 01:47:00,080 fault if you think it is, because it means you don't 1909 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,040 understand what's going on except what it is the CIA's 1910 01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:03,880 fault and the CIA is involved. So that'll be fun. 1911 01:47:04,480 --> 01:47:06,840 Well, with Ryan, if it's not the CIA's fault, it's Israel's 1912 01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:07,280 fault. So. 1913 01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:09,920 Obviously, yeah, clearly. So we've touched on the two 1914 01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:11,680 favorite buttons. So we'll go out there and get a 1915 01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:13,600 bunch of clicks for people that are excited about that. 1916 01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:15,320 Share this with your friends who love conspiracies. 1917 01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:18,440 We, I can talk about the things, but I hope you come back and 1918 01:47:18,440 --> 01:47:20,600 we'll do it again. And when you have more to update 1919 01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:23,480 and obviously we'll, we'll continue to share the story and 1920 01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:26,120 we'll continue to talk in the background lest people think 1921 01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:27,800 otherwise. Steve and I still check in on 1922 01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:30,360 each other, whether or not he's laying there producing kidney 1923 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:33,600 stones or he's out there harassing current FBI agents 1924 01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:34,880 that don't know if they're FBI agents. 1925 01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:38,800 Exactly, exactly. It's been, it's been, it's 1926 01:47:38,800 --> 01:47:42,920 actually been a joy to, you know, turn my guns in another 1927 01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,680 direction lately, so. Yeah, there's only so much J6 1928 01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,480 you can eat before your your your palate's worn out. 1929 01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:55,200 Yeah, yeah. And, and, and surprisingly, the 1930 01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,000 J6 thing is not even close to over. 1931 01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:00,760 I mean, we got we, we got cash and Dan telling us that pipe 1932 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,040 bomb stuff is coming and things like, you know, things of that 1933 01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:07,800 nature related to J6. But, you know, even even in 1934 01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:13,200 Tulsi's office, the office of the Director of National 1935 01:48:13,200 --> 01:48:17,280 Intelligence, she has a specific mandate from the president. 1936 01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:19,400 And this was this is published. I mean, she talked about it just 1937 01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:22,720 last week on one of the interviews she did where she 1938 01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:26,480 talked about that the president has specifically mandated her 1939 01:48:26,480 --> 01:48:29,800 group, they put together what they call a dig, a director's 1940 01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:35,880 initiative group under her direction to get to the bottom 1941 01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:39,320 of of a handful of pet projects of the president. 1942 01:48:39,480 --> 01:48:43,360 And one of those is he wants to understand what lit the match on 1943 01:48:43,480 --> 01:48:46,320 January 6th. And also he wants to make sure 1944 01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:50,000 that the weaponization that took place afterwards from the DOJFBI 1945 01:48:50,200 --> 01:48:53,200 ever happens again. So they are, they are working on 1946 01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:55,240 that. So I mean, it's, it's, it's not 1947 01:48:55,240 --> 01:48:58,520 over. And I think that because of the 1948 01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:00,880 resources they have at OD and I, I think they're going to have 1949 01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:05,000 the ability to probably find some things out about there. 1950 01:49:05,640 --> 01:49:08,840 I would imagine that that that that group of people that are in 1951 01:49:08,840 --> 01:49:13,680 the dig are probably the most hated people in the national 1952 01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:17,200 intelligence community right now because they're investigating 1953 01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:19,280 them, you know? Nobody likes that. 1954 01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:21,360 Nobody likes it all. Steve, I want to give you last 1955 01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:23,720 word. I'm going to ask you for what is 1956 01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:26,960 the moral of the story so far as we conclude. 1957 01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:29,880 This story that we're talking about, this story. 1958 01:49:29,880 --> 01:49:31,680 You're covering now. What's the moral of it as you go 1959 01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:37,200 forward? We need to, we need to better 1960 01:49:37,200 --> 01:49:42,120 vet our, our choices in the primaries. 1961 01:49:43,080 --> 01:49:47,160 There was, there were other choices other than Corey Mills 1962 01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:51,120 and his story was so powerful. He's a good speaker. 1963 01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:55,840 He's a, you know, he's got a silver tongue and, and he's, 1964 01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:57,680 he's, he's smart, he's well educated. 1965 01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:02,680 I don't know where he got his education from and but he is 1966 01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:05,640 smart and and he presents himself very well. 1967 01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:11,640 We got to be more careful there. And that's not just with him. 1968 01:50:12,440 --> 01:50:16,640 You know, I don't need to name a lot of names right now, but you 1969 01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:21,400 know, you and I have problems with a couple of guys that have 1970 01:50:22,480 --> 01:50:25,520 allegedly been involved in investigating the weaponization 1971 01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:28,640 of government that are sitting in Capitol Hill and very 1972 01:50:28,640 --> 01:50:31,680 important positions have done nothing about it. 1973 01:50:32,480 --> 01:50:37,280 And they have that 95% voting record that I talked, talked 1974 01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:39,280 about when we first started up today. 1975 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:46,440 And, and they may or may not be controlled by, I don't know the 1976 01:50:46,440 --> 01:50:51,200 Chinese, but but anyway, but, but the point being is, is that 1977 01:50:51,640 --> 01:50:54,880 as I said, we have far too many Manchurian congressmen right 1978 01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:58,280 now. And, and that's a real problem 1979 01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:01,080 with the GOP. And it's not just at the NDC. 1980 01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:03,880 It's, it's at the state level. They're they're infiltrating the 1981 01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:07,640 red States and they are this is a, this is a game plan and this 1982 01:51:07,640 --> 01:51:10,760 is an action that is taking place by the people who hate our 1983 01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:12,240 country and want to take our country down. 1984 01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:15,560 Is well, you live in Texas. Look what's happening in the 1985 01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:16,800 Texas State house right now. It's. 1986 01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:17,800 Wild. It really is. 1987 01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:21,760 It is wild. I, I, I am absolutely convinced 1988 01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:27,480 that that the GOP has had, you know, the wolves in sheep's 1989 01:51:27,480 --> 01:51:30,560 clothing. In that case, it's the, you 1990 01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:36,760 know, the donkeys and elephant hide have been elected and put 1991 01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:39,120 in the State House there. I'm convinced of it. 1992 01:51:40,240 --> 01:51:41,960 I just haven't turned my guns that direction yet. 1993 01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:45,320 More more to follow on that. Yeah. 1994 01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:50,120 So the moral of the story as it relates to Corey Mills is I can 1995 01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:54,080 tell you without reservations, and I don't need a legal to 1996 01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:59,680 approve legal approval to say this is that he is not the 1997 01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:04,480 candidate that those in the 7th District of Florida thought they 1998 01:52:04,480 --> 01:52:06,600 were voting for. That's a fair statement, I 1999 01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:10,720 think. Yeah, a lot, a lot of 2000 01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:13,080 information has come forward and a lot more is coming. 2001 01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,520 Follow Steve at the at the Blaze if you guys want to see his 2002 01:52:16,520 --> 01:52:18,920 investigative reporting and his long form work if you want to 2003 01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:21,000 see his snarky comments.
