STEVE BAKER: A Manchurian Congressman? | SUNDAY Sit-Down | Ep 577

Agent Shady shows up at her house. Our source says it was a very short 10 or 15 minute meeting. She just told me that she was investigating the stolen valor allegations of Corey Mills. Would you be able to sit down and have a sit down conversation with me sometime? They met at a Starbucks together and so they had a coffee talk. She said it was very casual. The agent just sipped her coffee and asked me questions. This was December 20th of last

year. Then all of a sudden, in early April, Agent Shady shows up again. It says, can we meet again? And she says, yeah, that'd be great. And the agent says, would you be interested in becoming a confidential human source to assist us in this investigation? Would you be willing to actually go undercover to learn information from another lady? But at this point in the Cory Mills story, there is only one other lady. That's Jill Savage plays News.

All interviewers have their own style, and my style is to try to get to the point and to be intensely curious. And the key to interviewing is listening. Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties

enthusiast. 2nd Amendment defender and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraph. Hello my friends and welcome to the Sunday sit down for this Sunday we're going to have my friend Steve Baker who is an investigative journalist and he works for the Blaze and he recently just had a medical situation which we're going to talk about but he's OK and he's out disrupting the apple cart as he is known to do. He's taking shots at my ex-girlfriend.

I guess going to find out a little bit about some shady FBI agents as you're going to have fun with this. Steve always brings a lot of trouble with him, but I appreciate that about him. He's got that same sort of instinct I have is that there's nothing that's off limits and the only thing that matters is the truth. So we're going to try to get to it and we're going to talk about some of those things, including about a congressman from Florida. He's been writing pieces.

Let's get into it right now with my dear friend Steve Baker. All right, buddy, let's just jump in. How you doing so far? Man, I'm good.

I well, it's been a long time since you and I have done this, but you know, I went through, I went through a semi health crisis for a few weeks and you know, it was, it was one of those things that 100 years ago would have killed me. But thank God for, you know, we like to we like to criticize modern medicine and especially, you know, big big pharma, big industrial medicine. But they can save your life over issues that would have taken us out, you know, a few decades

ago. You want to get any more elaborate with that for people that are going to worry about you or just let them know that you're good I. I, I I have been for 30 years. I am a high level, high speed manufacturer of kidney stones. I I have been cursed with that for 30 years. Is there any money in that? Well, you know what, if anybody has a gravel pit that they need to, you know, get stocked up, I can probably help them out. But it's, it's, it's a genetic thing for me.

There's nothing I can do diet wise. I mean, the the doctors are like nap, you're just, you're going to, you're going to, you're just going to have to deal with it. You're going to make spiky calcium. Yeah, yeah. And that's exactly what it is. My body creates it and I, I spit them out regularly. And so the problem, the problem with that is because I'm so accustomed to it, I don't take it seriously when it happens. Like, OK, all right, I got another one.

Whatever. Except on occasion they can get back, you know, they can clog up your works and then you get into infections and then sepsis and all that. Well, I actually got into that territory for the last one. I was on the road like I usually am. So I'm, I'm not home right now. I'm in Florida at the moment working on a couple of stories down here. And I was in Dallas the last time and I felt it. I, I know what it feels like. I went, OK, I got another kidney stone. Here we go again.

Yay me. And so then I had to go to Louisiana. I had to go to Florida again for a story. When I got to Florida, I realized that I was not going to make it this time. And so I I had a couple of my meetings with sources that I needed to. And then I called my urologist up in Raleigh and said I am on my way. You have to see me tomorrow. End of conversation. And they, they, they got me in. I drove through, straight through from Central Florida all the way up to North Carolina.

I got in the next morning and they did the X-rays. When he finished the X-rays, he went, we're going to do a CAT scan now. And I went, well, you that you don't usually do that. And he goes, yeah, if something's going on, did a CAT scan, he walks into my room and he goes, you're going to the hospital now. And so I ended up going through four different procedures over 5 / a five week period to take care of that particular situation. The rest of it would be too

would be, as they say, TMI. That's fair. No, that's fair. Kidney stones are ugly, and I'm sorry that you are so afflicted. And it seems like you decided to take your time while you were not doing well to just go cause problems in other people's lives as well. Because you're kind of like that prickly guy. You're like, hey, if I'm feeling good, everybody else should also feel good. Is that fair?

Yeah, I. Actually got bored with going after the Capitol police so I decided to go after your former mistress and take on the FBI directly. Fantastic. Let's talk about it. So you went to Florida chasing story. You want to give people the broad strokes of that story. Yeah, actually there's there's a couple of story, different stories that I've been working on down here.

Ironically you coincidentally whatever you want, however you want to characterize it, A couple of big stories that I've been working on for quite some time. All of our sourcing and the key players are right here in Central Florida. And one of those is our story on Aaron Black, which was the Nancy Pelosi's fixer and that one still has a lot of legs. There's a lot more coming on that. That's all I got. All I can say about that at the moment, I'm working on that

while I'm here. And then in addition to that, while I was in Florida the last time, desperate to get to my doctor in North Carolina, my editor in chief, he phoned me up one day and he said, are you still in Florida? I said, yeah, I am, but not for long. I'm going home. And, and, and he said, well, we've got a situation down there and I think you we need to bring you into it. And I said, well, what's that?

And he said, well, we've been running an investigation for a few weeks on Congressman Corey Mills. And I'm like, you mean Captain America? Corey Mills? Was that that was Glenn Beck's statement about him, correct? Yeah. Like, yeah, I mean, Glenn had had Corey on after they met in Western North Carolina because Corey was up there, you know, lifting people out, rescuing people with helicopters, doing

that whole thing. Glenn was up there with a couple of our other journalists from The Blaze, Jill Savage and Julio Rosa, just to, you know, see what FEMA was doing and see if they were if the government was actually taking care of those people. Because we have at the Blaze, you know, or, or Glenn does has Mercury one, which is a, you know, disaster relief organization.

They do that all over the world. So he he was up there personally checking it out and seeing what what kind of the needs were. And, and so they, Corey Mills ran into our guys Glenn and, and our other reporters. And then they spent some time together. I spent some time on a helicopter together going back to the airport together. They heard some stories from Corey about what is going on in his life and his personal life, things like that. And then Fast forward about 3 1/2, four months.

And some of those stories turned out not to be true. And then when you have a congressman says one big, really significant lie to you, you kind of go, why don't you check and see what else he's lying about? Yeah, it turns out is that. The there's a lot. Well, was that the genesis of the story, that there was one lie that was proved to somebody in in either Glenn's orbit or somebody at Blaze and then and

then other questions came up? Yeah, let's, let's just start from the beginning on this, because sometimes we start at the end and work our way back. But in this case, since we've already broached the subject, what happened was, is, and this was, you know, a strange thing for Captain America, Mr. you know, all the, the heroic things he's done all over the world, you know, rescuing people from Afghanistan and Israel and all of the the military daring do that he has on his record.

And all of the, you know, working with military contractors after his time in the service and getting allegedly blown up twice by IE D's and his awards and medals and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, right. It was, it was very, it was a very weird thing that in the helicopter ride back to the airport from one of the disaster relief centers that they were checking on is that he started going into a dissertation about his personal life and how lonely he was. And, you know, he was going

through a divorce at the time. And then at that point, you know, 2 1/2, three years into, you know, the process of getting divorced, not finalized, but going through it and that he was really lonely and that he had not been, had, had not had relationship, you know, in over a year and been with anybody in over a year really, you know, just and it's like, OK, why are you telling this story to us? Right. Well, there's only one good reason why he would be telling

that story on the helicopter. And what is? Because Jill Savage, the lovely Jill Savage, the host of you know Blaze News Tonight, the mandate at Blaze TV is in the helicopter with him. That's the only reason to gain some of her sympathy and or attention. Yeah, and exchange numbers with her. I mean, you know, he's a congressman. He's worth 10s of millions of dollars from his private business affairs. He's Captain America. She's a smart, pretty lady on a helicopter next to him, Yeah.

And why not? Target of opportunity, Steve. Yeah, well, he's a player, you know, and he, he played, he played the game, except there was a problem with playing the game. So just just just so everyone understands, because the only reason I think the back story is most interesting is that you guys didn't set out to go like who's some? That's not how your your

newsroom works. You're this is not like an O'Keefe media situation where you're like, how can we target fill in the blank type of person? This just happened organically where a story came up, it didn't line up. It's a public figure, and that becomes a public interest if somebody's lying in private. Yeah. Right.

And and then after that event in in North Carolina, Glenn has Congressman Mills and to do one of his full big, you know, podcasts and, and so and, and Glenn was, you know, just absolutely gobsmacked by the guy. His record, his, his history comes from a really bad, you know, upbringing and and conquered, you know, all of the, the obstacles in his life to get where he was right out of high school. He joins the army. He's, you know, he gets all of these recognitions and awards.

Then he goes into working with the one Dyncorp, one of the, you know, military contractors and and yet again, he's involved in some heroic things. This is all in his campaign rhetoric. This is all on his website. This is in his story, his bio as he's presented it. And then you then you get to the fact that after he leaves Dyncorp, then he eventually starts his own company, which is a weapons trading company by the way, both domestic and foreign.

He does like domestic less than lethal weapon cells to local law enforcement here in the United States. And then he does other types of weapons overseas. And then he made, you know, 10s of millions of dollars. And, and then in fact, on top of all of this, Kyle, I mean, he's like President Trump. He doesn't take his salary from Congress what he takes it, but he donates it to a charity. So some sort, some sort of women's Relief Fund or something like that. So he he donates his entire

salary. I mean, so this guy is, everything about him is. Captain America, Yeah, alright, that's Arnold Schwarzenegger status where you come in and you live 10 lives in one life and you do a bunch of success in everything you touch. And at and at 44 years old, he's

accomplished all of this. And and then he goes into public service, he has to put his businesses on hold, he has to put them in blind trust, all of that, you know, so that he could concentrate on doing the work of the American people. And, you know, 95% of the time it seems to be voting exactly the way you and I would expect, you know, a guy like that to vote. And apparently Magus supports the the president's agenda, etcetera, etcetera.

No, Anyway, so there's the back story on the guy as we know it now. This meeting in North Carolina took place, you know, a couple of days after the storm. So the storm was September 27th. And then Glenn and, and the guys were on the ground just a couple days later with Mercury 1, Mercury One and then and met. That's where they ran into Corey Mills and then Jill and, and, and Corey exchanged phone numbers. There's some chatting. They never made-up. They never had a date.

You know, she's in Dallas, he's in DC and Florida. He's the Central district of Florida. And, and so he's he's, but they, you know, they're texting, they're chatting and there's, you know, they might get together sometime. Well, come the end of February. This is pretty salacious, Steve. This is like, not our normal fare. Just saying. But you know, I mean not just between you and I, you know, but the, the, the, this is, but this is normal life, right? It's. Totally.

It's like, how did, how did you meet? Oh, it was a chance meeting at a thing that we both had in common. That's like actually how people used to always meet, by the way. Yeah. Yeah, before, you know, dating, sexting and dating apps and that sort of thing. But it's, it's, but it's, it's the, it's the, it's nothing unusual about a single, you know, attractive congressman being interested in a single, you know, attractive reporter or news anchor or something like

that. You. Know that might be our headline right there, though. It's Steve Baker, investigative journalist finds Corey Mills attractive. Congressman, go ahead, carry. You know. You have played Bowie on stage, so this is not this is not a threat to your masculinity. So so Fast forward to the end of February and there's a call to the Metropolitan Police from a luxury penthouse apartment in DC. You know $20,000 a month luxury apartment from a young woman who has been assaulted by her live

in guy. This is 20. 525 is that correct? Yeah, this is just, you know, yeah, this is February and the the police arrive and the young 27 year old girl has called the cops on none other than Congressman Corey Mills for assaulting her, you know, 3:00 in the morning, whatever it was. And, and I and by the way, I just, I pulled that time out of my ass. It might have been one PMI don't remember if Jill was here. She remembers.

She's like she is. She is encyclopedically honed in on every single microscopic detail of the story since it originated with her. And so the police report comes out, obviously, it's made public. And it turns out that in the police report, it is revealed that the two of them had been living together for over a year.

All right. Now it doesn't jibe with our previous story and also that here's the thing, that wasn't really a big national news story, and you'd think that it would be. Well, the, the DC cops are very good about, you know, not necessarily moving forward with charges too fast when you're talking about a congressman.

Give time for them to buy her a couple of new purses and some, you know, fancy shoes, you know, spend a few $1000 on them and then then they'll retract their statement and, and take it back and not press charges. And that's, that's generally between the Capitol Police, the Metro PD, the way they'll handle a situation like this with a Congress member. And that's exactly, and that's exactly what happened.

The the the young lady has actually recanted her her original version of events as given to the Metro PD in the police report itself, but never she's. Not like a low profile person. No, no, not at all. She's a she's an activist. Yeah, she is very much an activist. She's she literally started, she's Iranian, not by birth, but by heritage. And I think she's Texas born actually.

And so she has started the Iranians for Trump, you know, organization like that so. And, and look and, and the age difference is certainly not a scandal. He's 44, she's 27. That's no big deal, you know, is it not I? Mean. That's a big difference. It's not a big deal. To me. When you OK, we'll compare it to the the compared to the White House press secretary and her husband, like 60 and 29. Oh, I don't like that either.

I'm, I'm so my parents had about the, what I think is probably the biggest age gap that I always thought was OK. They were 10 years apart. And there's something about like 30 year old man, 20 year old woman. It's not as predatory. But when you're talking about like, what do I have in common? I'm, I'm the same age as Corey Mills. I'm, I'm 43. I don't have anything in common with 27 year olds at all. You know, I have more in common with you by a lot.

Yeah. I mean, I'm I'm further in age different from you than you would be to Corey's side piece. Yeah, exactly. Side piece. That's the best part because he's still married. Right. Right, OK, sorry. All right, let's not get down this scandalousness, but I'm just going to here's why I think that is actually interesting a

little bit. We keep electing people that are Republicans and we assume that there's a one to one relationship between Republican and conservative and there's overwhelming proof that that is not the case. Is that is that a fair statement? It's an incredibly fair statement and then it can be

taken much further. There are there's a real problem within conservatism right now or within the GOP in particular, is people that are apparently conservative and maybe not so much they may actually have other agenda in mine. And, and they, they've learned how to, you know, talk the talk and they've learned how to vote the vote 90% of the time, 85% of the time. That's still getting to pretty good Liberty score or a Heritage score or whatever those things

are. And and you can look really good and still touted by getting and still doing real damage. It's the damage can be done in the committee's, the damage can be done by what's never allowed out of the committee's. The damage can be done in the backroom deals. The damage can be done in the in the skiff committees. You know where they're you know, they're there.

There are there are serious committee meetings and hearings and interviews and witness testimonies transcribed and even underoath that we never hear about because they're, you know, they're they're classified and so a lot. Of people not who don't understand that when they classify something and they do it for the reason of like the person who's bringing the information forward. A human classification can go 25 years at the secret level, or even 50 years before it can be revealed.

Which means they're going to people are going to die before they're ever going to be revealed. And then and then every once in a while you have the guy with the 9295% liberty score. He cast that vote that is just like, what are you doing? You get, and he, he just held back and he held that one vote in reserve because of who his

handlers are. And you know, look, I, I, I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP isn't infiltrated by, I'm talking about just Washington. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't 100 Manchurian congressmen up there. Being run by who do you think? China. China's running everything right now. I mean it's. Isn't it interesting though, that everybody immediately goes and says it's the? Jews. And they all go to Israel. And it just seems like it seems like such a, a simple tense

answer. Like when people find that, that answer, I, I especially when everybody, especially when some of the dumbest people are saying it, I immediately just go like, well, that's not what's happening. Just like dumb people didn't accidentally discover the answer most likely. No, I actually, I, when I, I'm actually at my sister's house right here right now in Central Florida. Yeah.

And so when we were setting up here for for this, because I'm, I'm here for a couple weeks working down here. And so I needed a place where I could do broadcast and podcast and things of that nature. And so she has a menorah up here on her top shelf behind. Perfect. Yeah. And she, no, she goes, she goes. Should I take that down? So you don't get, you know, I went. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, that's fun. That's a that's an Easter egg.

So, OK, I just want to explore this with you for a second because I, we've never had this conversation and I'm, I have this weird little idea. OK, So because I think you're probably right. China has the money, they have the influence, they have the long game. They always have. They've been somehow really downplayed as the nefarious actor. They were touched very gently under the Biden administration.

We had whistleblowers coming forward saying they had credible and actionable Intel to go and and do prosecutions and could get them done. That all sounds like the real problem. But we hear this very vocal thing when things are going bad, everybody looks for a first scapegoat. It turns out the right wing loves to go to the Jews right now or whatever this version of people are that are upset about it. I wonder this, 'cause I'm always like, there's always a nugget of

truth to something. There's always a nugget of some people that are that are playing around the edges. And the idea of Israel's influence in the United States, some of it was very public and it's not like it's hidden. It always seemed to me more like the United States is manipulating Israel, and parts of, you know, people in Israel turn back around and do the bidding of what the United

States wants. There's very little chance to me that a tiny little country that small that doesn't have more wealth in the United States can manipulate all of the US It's far more likely that we're manipulating them and then using some of those people's influence inside our own country.

Infinitely more influence and just because of the overwhelming influence of are prevalence of Jewish names at the end of movies in the movie credits are, you know, are even in, even in the newsrooms of, you know, the, the big, the big three or the big 5, whatever. Look, they, there is a lot of influence and a lot of prevalence there. But it is if we're talking about where the influence really is,

it's in the money. And they don't have the money to affect what is going on in this country legislatively especially and the direction of of nominations and for the courts and that sort of thing that China has. Yeah, not even, I mean, they don't have the ability to manipulate world currency or, you know, global oil reserves or any of those things. So that always seemed to me, that always seemed to me like the Kansas City shuffle.

You know, it's the, it's the concept and I learned it out of lucky #7 but I know that it was a thing beforehand. It's like, we're going to let you see that there is a con going on, but we just want you to believe a certain con that is, that's appropriate for us because that's not the real con. And as long as you're fixated on the one thing, we can do the real thing. And one of those might be China.

And the other is actually the United States interest, whether it be, you know, our, our, our folks over in the military industrial complex and the information industrial complex. Like, take your pick, pharmaceutical industrial complex, pick all the complexes. A lot of that money actually starts here, goes somewhere else, and then comes back here.

Sort of like as an influence op. But the influence OP is still probably being run from the US, if we're being honest, and then from other big global players, China being the biggest, maybe Russia a little bit. They're smaller for sure. Yeah. Definitely. We're on the, we're on the same page. I just wanted to compare notes on that.

Yeah. We we usually are, but the having said that getting getting back to our our buddy and possible Manchurian Congressman Corey Mills the the the you notice I said possible my, my. Your legal instinct. Well, we actually, I had to, I had to do legal constant consultation on this particular tour of commentary that I'm doing on this story because it's a very sensitive 1.

And in fact, Mills, before we ever even published our first story at The Blaze, and we've had four so far, but before our first story was ever published, he had already threatened The Blaze and Jill directly with lawsuits and, you know, defamation, slander, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, with the

whole thing. And, and so if we go back to that for a moment, I should probably clarify that what started this was, you know, bordering on the salacious, but that has nothing to do with what our interest in Corey Mills is. I I have Kyle, I have 0 interest in his sexcapades and

unfortunately. I mean, you, you thought about for a little while, going and working for for like OMG and and James O'Keefe and starting to do like dating videos, but then you then the your better nature got, you know, got a hold of you and said, I'm actually interested in real scandal, not whether someone lies on a date or tries lies to get a date. Right, Grinder journalism is not my Yeah, I'm. So proud of that term. I, I love it.

It's perfect. Yeah. And and so the the The thing is, is not that Corey was caught with a 27 year old Iranian side piece in his luxury $20,000 a month 10th house in DC, which he can afford apparently, Yeah. It's that he lied to us. That's that's the thing that. He lied about the relationship, that he hadn't seen anybody and and why would that be interesting that he lied about

that in front of a woman? OK, a couple, couple, couple of things #1 there's, there's a, there's a particular culture at the Blaze that I leaned into and admired going back. I think that I think I started listening to Glenn's radio show, interestingly, about the time that I separated from my own life back as 18 years ago. And, and so I remember it was about that time listening to him every morning. You know, he was, he was the 9 to 12 guy on the East Coast.

And then Rush Limbaugh was right after that on most stations around the country that, you know, the conservative talk stations. And so I'm picking him up every morning and listening to him. And one of the things that Glenn always said was he said we will always lead with our mistakes. In other words, if we get a story wrong, that's the first thing we cover tomorrow morning. Yeah, and that's the opposite of what most news media does, right?

Yeah, no, the most news media, if they get it wrong in a week later, they'll bury it in section. You know Z of the paper on 17th page. And they print their retraction and it's as quiet as possible because we're never wrong. That's why you listen to us. And when we are wrong, you don't. You don't learn about it. Right. And that really captured my fascination about and I didn't know a lot about Glenn Beck at the time.

And then over the years listening to him and he does a lot of interviews with new candidates, you know, congressional candidates, gubernatorial candidates, GOP guys. And he interviews them. And without fail, there's basically two things that he says. He goes, we can, we can disagree on individual policies like that. He said just don't ever lie to me. If you lied to me, I'm I'm done with you.

Just don't lie to me. We can we can argue issues, politics, policies, philosophy all day long and reasonably do so don't lie to me. And the other thing kind of along that same lines, is he at the at the end of every one of these candidate interviews He does, he always says he goes, how's your relationship with the Lord? He does that every time he he wants to, he wants to see who this person is so he knows how to evaluate him. And he doesn't endorse anybody. I mean, it's like incredibly

rare that he endorses. You can really, really put people on their heels with that question because if you've never thought about the answer to it, you're going to get a real good sputtering, awkward moment. And if it's something that's very natural to talk about, then you'll do that. And if it's something that's very private, you'll get somebody that is reserved but thoughtful. Like you'll get a lot. That's a great question.

It's not, it's not a Kyle Seraphin question per SE, but I do like that somebody wants to do it. If that's his thing, it's cool and. And it and it's, it's totally OK if they say, well, I'm agnostic. I don't. I don't or whatever, Yeah. As long as they're all existent. As long as they're. Honest with him about. Or somebody tells you, you know, it's, it's really private. I, I just, I've never been a public person about religion. It's like, OK, that's an answer.

That's an answer, and it's a. It's a. It's a fair answer. But if someone lies to you, you'll you'll get a real lie out of that because that's that could be a real ugly one. Yeah, which I think is really annoying. So. So the bottom line is, is the congressman lied to them on the helicopter, he said. I've not been in a relationship in over a year while he was living with somebody for over a year. Can he? Say that he had a different definition of relationship.

I guess it depends on what the meaning of the word you know lives with is. That's right. But no I but. It seemed like a breaking trust. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And and so it was one of those moments where it was like, OK, as I said earlier, if he lied to us about that, what else is he lying about? Well. Where did that come from? Who? Who made that that call? Was that an editor call? Was that a Glenn call?

I don't know if it was so much because I was, I wasn't there when those discussions began, but certainly it was a discussion between Glenn and Jill because Jill was the one who had been being flirted with. Targeted. Yeah. When I, and I don't mean when I say targeted, I don't mean that in a nefarious sense, but a guy, a guy was, you know? She was the she was the target of affection. Or interest that's. Fair. Yeah, that's fine, I think.

Yeah, and and so and so. But when you're doing that in the whole time, you're filling your target of affection with the lies about your loneliness and that you have nobody in your life. And then all of a sudden it blows up. So the next question is, is what else? Well, it turns out, Kyle, there were already years of documented research into Corey Mills history and the contradiction in its history. Starting with the most important thing I think would be his

stolen valor accusations. There's a there's a website out there called Corey Mills watch.com. Well, I. Yeah, there you. Go and so which which has everything you know everything that they find it's under so and then you then we turn we find out that there are organizations that are dedicated just to this thing called stolen valor. There's an organization called warriors of valor that's been around for 20 years. I'm talking about, I mean, you talk about these guys that do it

right. They don't they're they're not just looking for guys that are exaggerating their, you know, their claims of heroism are are have you know, are out seen wearing medals that they never earned those kinds of things. But they actually do the other side of it as well. Service members who did great things that never were recognized for their moments of valor and heroics. They make sure that they get the recognition that they deserve.

Do you want to define stolen valor for folks that are not that familiar or I've heard the term but don't have a working definition? I mean, I I've never actually looked up the clinical definition of it, but it's pretty pretty simple. And it's actually in most states. Most states have stolen valor laws. It's criminal. There's a federal statute to some effect as well. There is, there is, there is a federal statute as well. The federal statute has been diminished to a certain extent.

We can talk about that as it relates to the FBI going forward. But you know, I think it was 2017 the FBI decided not to pursue stolen valor claims any longer. They did, they didn't like doing it anyway. As you know, it's not one of the the whales, you know, it's kind of one of the minnow type laws or crimes kind of like. Trespassing in a in a public public building. Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing. Accidental tourism, as I refer to it.

And so the bottom line is, is that they basically put out a memoranda to, you know, all the field offices that we're not doing so in Valor anymore, unless it's specifically tied to financial remuneration. You know, you're, you're, you're campaigning, fundraising off of it or you're making a lot of money. Yeah, I just, I think Arizona is going through a process right now that it has to be a certain

amount of money. I think their threshold is like $5000 worth of either fundraising or profit to the individual. But we're talking about people that make claims that either can't be substantiated or objectively false, and they have to actually turn out to be that they can investigate and they can be provably untrue. Like I was in this place and someone's like, no, you weren't in that place. You were actually at Fort Leonard Wood or you were not even enlisted at that point in

time. Or, you know, Sir Edmund Hillary didn't climb until you were five years old, That kind of thing. Like we have to be able to prove it historically that it's inaccurate, and then you have to profit from it for it to actually be prosecutable. OK, So, yeah. And and so the point being is, is that when our guys started looking into this, they were stunned to find out this was

already on the record. I mean, there was, there were claims that Corey Mills had made about, for instance, being blown up by IEDs twice, once I think when he was in this, the Army, once when he was with Dyncorp, you know, the military private contractor. And it turns out he was never blown up. He was in an IED incident once where he got a mild concussion, bounced off the the windshield, but the the vehicle was not blown up itself.

And then the other event that he claimed to have been involved in, he never was involved in. All of the servicemen who were there with him say absolutely. He wasn't even on site. I mean, much less was part of that. This was like a mass casualty incident where theoretically he

was a medical responder, right? Exactly because I've read piece meals of this and like I said, I followed it only because you're involved in it. And I I heard the inklings at the same time you're like, how much of this is envy or jealousy? How much of this is just people that want what this guy has? So you come in.

Absolutely, absolutely. And and then while we are looking into the stolen valor issues and we're calling the sources and we're making those contacts, well, as a news organization, you have to call the guy you're investigating that would be Corey Mills, right? So one of our reporters, Peter Giedle, he gets on the phone and in a 57 minute recorded phone call with Corey Mills, he actually admits that those IED incidences never happened. We have it on tape. He can't.

He fundraised off of that. It's on his website I think still. What was the context where he had where he admits it? Like what is? What is that? He admits that he was not there for the for the the big one with the multi, you know, the mass casualty event. And then he admits on the phone call and we've done a story and we've already like that was that was contained in our first story that we released on him was about that comp, that call. And he admits in that call that,

yeah, I got AII. He wasn't even diagnosed with a concussion. He was just, you know, told to, you know, go, go stay in your bump for a couple days and rest and see. And then, you know, we'll see if you. You got light duty for a headache kind of thing, like many people were around, you know, concussion. Yeah, he didn't. He didn't even, he didn't even qualify for a Purple Heart as a result of it. I mean, it's that kind of

situation. And, and just for people's context, there was some question about whether or not he was even overseas from the DD214 that I saw. Does that seem like that's that was an inaccurate a paperwork problem? Yeah, he never, he never signed his DD214, which is basically the synopsis of your career with the, you know, his career in the Army.

And that in that it shows how many deployments you're on, what countries you went to, how, how many of those things, whether you were deployed or not overseas, whether you were in battle or not, that it lists your awards, your medals, that sort of thing. And even though, and the reason why he never signed it is it did in fact say on his DD 14 that he was never deployed. And it says that he was never in battle, but he also, it showed that he received a Bronze Star.

And you're kind of like. I mean yeah people do receive bronze stars for like admin troop stuff but. Well, that's the problem. That's what see, that's the problem is that is, is that a Bronze Star now is a participation award in many cases. It's like a, you know, every kid gets a trophy at the soccer game. Depend. Yeah, depending. Less people get upset about hearing that. Like it depends on the service,

it depends on the commander. But there are people who have given them out far more liberally than maybe the exclusivity of them previously. And as the G Watt went on, it became more. It may. My buddy should have probably got a bronze or a silver star for something that he did that was incredibly courageous. He saved six guys. The six guys he saved got bronze stars. He was a Marine. They were in the Army. The army guys all got bronze

stars for being saved. He didn't get any award for saving them, even though he was knocked out, lost all of his front teeth, you know, was Purple Heart, Ada, Ada 50 Cal turret. And then was went out, woke up in the middle of a battle and saved everybody's life. And so, yeah. If you go to if you go to my X page, right now my banner photo and also on my Facebook page right now, my personal Facebook page.

My banner photo is the actual bronze Star and purple hearts that my great uncle got in Italy and when he was killed in Italy and in World War 2. And you know, I put those up for Memorial Day. I usually leave them up there for a week or so after he's memorial sort of thing. But but it also got the newspaper clipping where it describes why he got his Bronze Star. I mean, they were his commander was looking for a volunteer to crawl up on a German to identify a German gun position.

I'll do it. He crawls into the, you know, enemy territory by himself, identifies the gun position, comes makes it safely back. He's still alive when he makes it back. And then because he knew where the gun position was, he volunteers again. OK, I'll lead the the attack. And he gets killed in the attack on the gun, on the gun position. And so I mean real, real blonde, Bronze star, kind of, you know, stop. Yeah, true blue heroism kind of thing.

But in in in Corey Mills case, this was a situation where the Brigadier General, you know, gave a Bronze Star to everyone under his command from a certain rank up, a master Sergeant or whatever up. They all got them, whether they were even deployed or not, whether they were just a, you know, a desk jockey, everybody in under his command during that period or that action got a Bronze Star. And so so he got one. Do we do we think he was

actually deployed? That that was, oh, you know, he was deployed because because there's, there's other issues with his deployment by the prime sources that were there with him. See, people have had a problem with him for over 20 years since his days in the service, because he never was the guy they claimed to be. And then in fact, when he went into the business of working with Dyncorp as a, you know, security guy, again, a private military contractor, security contractor, he was overseas.

He was in the desert. You know, he was in Afghanistan and, and Iraq during that time. And Dyncorp ultimately fired him because they became aware of his stolen valor issues. So the two things can be true at once. You can have mistakes on DD214 documents. Mine had several when I left the service that was just, I think it's very common. And then it takes a pain in the ass to actually get it to do right.

You have to go back to the records of your service and submit all the stuff and then they evaluate them and then they put back a finding and they give you a corrected DD214. And it's a real hassle. But I think a lot of service members do it because you want the document to accurately

represent your service. If you got awards or if you got, you know, if you went to schools or training that that is not documented and you have the certificates from them, you want them to put it on the paper because it doesn't count if it's not written down. And at the same time, you also can exaggerate the things that were in a misrepresented or a factually inaccurate DD214. And you could still be lying. So you could have two problems there, right?

Like you could have the service report things inaccurately and then the person could also fudge it. And it sounds like he had two problems there. He had AD 214 that wasn't accurate from the service. Right. But also he was making claims that could not be substantiated even with all the available records. With all the available records and by all of the men they served with in those incidences in which he claimed, you know, very specific heroic actions.

And so again, at this point in the whole story, the whole saga, Blaze and Congressman Mills, I'm not involved at all. And until I get this phone call from my editor in chief and he says, you know, because we're dealing with DoD issues and now we're kind of stepping over into intelligence service issues, our community issues, and because it looks like there may be some FBI things going on here, we need to bring you in. And so they brought me into the story.

So I, I was during that period where I was sick and I was on really, you know, fun medication at the time.

And, and so I was kind of, you know, my brain was kind of half into things and I'm reviewing and I, and they're just piling it on, especially Jill. Jill is just like I said, she is an she is absolutely amazing how she in a, in the manner which she was taking us on. I don't know that I don't think she's ever been an investigative journalist right before, but she became one overnight and she's really good at it.

And so she's just sending me all of this work and and that they've been doing for weeks now at this point. And so I'm trying to catch up while I'm sick. And like I said, I had I had four procedures during this five week period. And so I'm, I'm in and out of the hospital. And so I finally get well and then my brain starts functioning properly again.

And one big thing just blossomed in front of me, and that was there was an FBI agent out of the Orlando resident agency, which of course, is right in the middle of Cory Mills District. Her name is Shay DI. Can't make that up. Shay. Shay, the middle Initial D and then a hyphenated last name to Tally Bradley. Shay D Tally Bradley. And this FBI agent had been interviewing, contacting, conducting an investigation ostensibly into Corey Mills stolen valor act allegations.

And, and everything that I'm seeing about this FBI agent as I'm now interviewing our sources and everything that they're now re relaying to me because they've already gone through it with Jill and Peter and our other guys that have been have been researching this story already. And, and then as as I'm hearing the version of events I'm going, this is not sitting right with me. Nothing about what this agent is doing is sitting right with me.

So the first thing we had to just find out is if is this a real FBI agent or not. We were able to validate that pretty quickly. I actually, because because our sources had been in communication with this age agent by phone, text and e-mail, we had screenshots of all of that. So we had the emails, FBI address, we had screenshots, phone numbers. I called her up one day and I said, is this Agent Tally Bradley? She goes speaking and I said,

yeah, I'm, I didn't lie. I said my name is Steve Baker. I'm with Blaze Media, and I've got some questions about a particular case that you're involved in at the moment. She goes, well, you know, we can't speak about anything like that. You'll have to speak to our PAO. I said yeah, I figured that'd be your answer, but yeah, go ahead. She goes, well, let me get you his number or her their number, whatever. And she looks it up.

She gives me the she's out of Orlando so that the the field office is Tampa. So she gets me the phone number to the PAO in in Tampa. And I didn't I didn't bother to call the PAO because why? What's the point? You get nothing from APAO. And so as as I began to put the pieces of the puzzle together, I began to be suspicious that this agent was not working for the Bureau on this case and that she wasn't investigating Corey Mills stolen Valor at all.

What she was accumulating was what our sources knew about Corey Mills past not just stolen Valor, but his business dealings overseas, internationally and other issues related to his. He has some, he has some particular proclivities related to women and, and that she was accumulating information about that. And, and, you know, look, I know a lot of former FBI agents, you know a lot, I know a bunch of

guys called the suspendables. I know a bunch of guys just for the work that I do that retired, you know, 20/21/23 years. And they're either still in government service in some capacity or they're, you know, in private practice now and whatever they do. And so, and then I, I know some people still in the Bureau. And so I did, I went much further on this particular inquiry and about this agent than I ever have before with my suspicions on it.

And then I allowed these experienced people from the Bureau, regardless of their experience level, regardless of how many years they had in, regardless of whether they were retired or not, is to play devil's advocate with me and put me my suspicions, you know, to the to the test. And as I began to share everything with them about her actions, Shady Tally Bradley, as we got to the end, as we would, as I would bring them all the way through the whole process.

By the time I got to the very end of it, they would go, Oh, yeah. OK, no, that bothers me because. All right. For, for instance, you, we almost always see, you know, the, the, the, the, the door knock guys, you know, when they show up and now they're now they look like they, you know, played in a grunge band in Seattle instead of the suit and ties, You know, when the FBI agents show up at your door. And so they knock on the door and your ring Cam records them and they show the badge.

And we're, you know, we're with the FBI, we have a few questions, whether they open, whether the the person, the homeowner opens the door or not. It's not immaterial. They're usually in pairs. All right, most of the time. All right. And this particular case with all of our sources that she had been in contact, we'll call her Agent Shady. She was never had a partner, no, but that was whether she was on a phone interview.

There was never anybody else involved in the investigation and we're talking about individuals that lived all over the country. So we had one of one of our sources was actually in the Orlando area. Another source was out of Houston, another source out of Texarkana. And then when our source out of Houston, who had been in touch with this lady for several months. So he, she contacted him first in November of 24. So she's before Blaze was even, you know, into, into this at all.

She was already, you know, extracting information from him. Now, you, you think about this, Kyle, if you have spent two years or more of your life building a case against somebody for stolen valor, because this is a passion of yours, are you work with an organization that that's what you do. Yeah. And then and then under Florida

law, it's a felony. It's a classic felony under Florida law of stolen valor is. And so this particular source out of Houston had been contacted and interviewed multiple times by an FDLE agent, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and so this. Is the state investigative

organization. Right. Yeah. And so the last time that this source had spoken to the FDLE agent was in August of, yeah, August of 24. And then several months go by and he gets a call or an e-mail actually, from Agent Shady out of Orlando, FBI agent. And she said, I've been referred to you on this Corey Mills stolen valor case. And he's like, hell yeah. Thank God. Finally, I got it to the right people, you know, the federal government. Preferred by whom?

Exactly. No, no such context there. Yeah. We say NFI. But he's, yeah, but he's excited, right? You know, it's, it's the opposite of Reagan's. You know, I'm with the government and I'm here to help, you know, the 9 scariest words in the English language. But. But in this case, I'm with the

government and I'm here to help. It's because this is what he's been working on. Yeah, it's the difference between someone, a cop knocking on your door and your music might be too loud and you called 911 and you need help. These are when you request government assistance and you get it. It's actually pretty exciting 'cause you don't expect it to work, especially on something like this. OK, so so this is the source's motivation to to cooperate and help.

So he's just vomiting out everything he knows about Corey Mills. I mean, sending her documents, everything he has, everything he's accumulated, and and also giving her agent Shady the names of the prime sources because see, he wasn't a prime source. He's just one of these researchers, right? That puts this stuff together. Yeah. Do you want to describe what that the the difference there secondary? Yeah. So he's, he's like working with one of the stolen valor organizations now.

He's got particular motivations in that he's, you know, he's a retired Marine. I guess you never retired from the Marine, but you know what I'm saying? Anyway, so he's a Marine. He was an actual real sniper where Corey Mills claimed to be and never was, which is another interesting part of his story. And so just one of these guys passionate about the whole stolen valor thing. And so he's been a researcher on this project, but he wasn't the

prime source. The prime source are the actual individuals other servicemen who served with Corey who were there at the time, who were either eyewitnesses to Corey's actions are eyewitnesses to Corey wasn't emailing the feel the battle. So these are these are reporting parties that are saying the things that are being said are false. And I have first hand knowledge of it. Researcher is compiling that data and making the the sort of report and saying this is what I believe our allegation is.

And then you now have FDLE involved. You've got, theoretically, the FBI and Blaze Media, with our intrepid friends D Baker running down the story concurrently. Right. That that's where we're at. So this particular source out of Houston is now giving her the name Agent Shady, the names of the prime sources. Now, I've never been an FBI agent before, but if you have somebody give you the names of the actual eyewitnesses to the events that you're investigating, what's your next

step? Yeah, there's basically two ways you would go about it in my in my, you know, book, I'm either going to make a phone call and ask to record it so I have a record, or I'm going to set a lead so that somebody else interviews that person in person. And the reason they do them in pairs, Steve, is because if you don't record it, which FBI agents are terrible about recording, they think that their their account should only be the only account. And so why should we have a

tape? My theory was always like, I don't remember everything perfectly. I'd rather just have the words and I can refer to them, you know, like real people do. But yeah, they'll send two people out, knock on the door, and they do a knock and talk and ask for a voluntary interview or they'll set it up like by e-mail or something. Can we have you come in?

Yeah. But one way or another, you want to talk to these people, I would imagine and and in theory, you want to be able to memorialize that information. So I'm so I'm just with a, a singular, singular source right now. The researcher out of Houston, right. So agent Shady has never recorded one of their phone calls. They had multiple phone calls together. She never said, hey, you mind if I record this?

You know the. And I think the only, and I'll and I'll steal man your argument here or I'll devil's advocate, but there's a possibility she doesn't need to. She doesn't have to ask. It's polite, it's customary to do so. It's a good rapport builder. But I don't think under the federal statute, the way that it works, one party consent is good enough for federal matters, even

in states where it's not good. But FBI agents in general also try to play well within state law, and Florida is one of those places. It's a best practice that you would ask. I don't think she has to ask, so there's at least a small possibility she could have recorded without knowledge. But it's not normal, common or good practice, so that's just. And, and because she is ostensibly investigating a Congress member, you and I both know that that's called a SIM, right?

Sensitive investigative matter. And because because it's a SIM, you would think he would probably be brought in or somebody would come and sit down with him in pairs and maybe be a little bit more. This would be a you can help me with the with the terminology here that I'm struggling with but but something that would be a little bit more. It should be a lighter touch and and the level of approval to be able to do this investigation would not be light.

So if you wanted to go after a mayor, you'd have to get probably not just your boss's sign off on it as a SIM. You'd also have the, the chief division counsel would weigh in and likely either an ASAC or a special agent in charge. Those things are pretty good to go. That's at the at the local level, at the county level, at the state level, a state official, you might have to do that and maybe even talk to somebody at Main Justice or somebody at at the Hoover building for a congressman in

national federal office. It is undoubtedly going to have weigh in from the Hoover building. You're going to get the office of general Counsel involved. There's no question in my mind headquarters in is involved in that because you're now playing with national politics and they're the people that control the FB is budget. So you better not screw it up. That's just one guy's take on it. But Fact Check me if you're an FBI person, listen to this Fact Check me in the comments if you

like. But I think I think that's solid analysis on my. My understanding, of course, because in what I've researched subsequent to my investigation here, is that the Attorney General would also be involved in this. Likely, yeah, at the at the federal level, whether it's an attorney general or a delegate, somebody like I said at at the DOJ main that is making real high level decisions is going to. Yeah. So now this guy is in Houston.

It's a SIM, ostensibly because he has absolutely posed to this guy that I am investigating the stolen valor allegations of Congressman Corey Mills, right? Ostensibly on the behalf of the Bureau. I like how we keep saying, ostensibly because this gets real shady soon. Yeah, yeah, shady. Shady And so as it turns out, so she starts speaking to him in November, late November of last year, in late March of this year on his normal business, because he he works for a living in his business.

He has to take a business trip to Orlando where Agent Shady is, you know, based out of perfect. And so he calls her out or he sends her a text. I have all the screenshots of their entire string of communication there. He sends her a text and said, hey, I've got to be in Orlando next week on these such and such a dates. It'd be great, you know, if we sat down.

Remember, he is still enthusiastically giving her everything that he can, everything he's still finding out about Corey. And by the way, there's a lot, there's a, there's a, there's a certain amount of momentum taking place right now in this because we're not the only ones that are doing this. I mean, we know, we know that CNN has been contacting our our sources.

We know that Rolling Stone is doing, I think Rolling Stone's going to be doing a story on the more salacious nature of his background and which is fine with us. It's like, OK, you guys go be real. Sex, drugs and Rock'n'roll. Rolling Stone. We'll, we'll deal with the other stuff. And so he says I'll be there. And she said, OK, that'll be great. So he is not exactly sure when

she'll have time. So he takes his three day work trip to Orlando. He books, he changes his flight schedule, adds an extra day on the front side and an extra day on the backside to accommodate right. And when he's on his way, she texts him and says, oh, sorry, I've got to go out of town, can't meet with you. She goes then, but she goes, I have I have somebody assisting me in this investigation. And his name is Michael Chirac, and he's ADOD investigator. Was he like Army CID or he was

DoD proper? We don't know. Well, I've I've learned what he is because we've found him. But as it turns out, the way he spells his last name, there's only two Michael Chiracs the way he spells his last name in the entire United States. One of them is an attorney in Ohio and the other guy is a Dodig e-mail address. Got it. Yeah. That's fairly conclusive. Yeah, and I think he's the son of the attorney and the 80 year old attorney in Ohio.

The checks OK. Yeah, both both named Michael and so he got so. OK, All right, well, I'll meet with him when I get down there. Well, Michael Schrock doesn't live in Florida. He lives in Arlington, TX. And so he gets to Orlando and she goes tech, tech, tech, tech. Sorry, Will, Michael's not going to be able to meet with you. He's also out of town. Our source has no idea who Michael Chirac is. He has no idea he lives in Texas. He was just told that he would

meet with him in our land. She's totally blowing smoke up his ass, you know. And so so he doesn't meet with her and he's changed his flight. So he ends up with a couple of days vacation in Central Florida. So the story goes, as I said before, not only is he regurgitating everything he has to Agent Shady, including the names of prime sources, but now we're involved and now we're

talking to them. So we're talking to the primes, we're talking to the researchers, we're talking to the organizations that have been researching stolen valor. We're learning a lot more about Corey, not only his stolen valor issues, but his business dealings overseas. And, and then we're starting to learn about his personal life. And I'm not talking about the sex cathates. There's some very interesting things regarding his personal life, which we've already done a couple of stories on.

One of those is is that we have 5 different sources who will on the record have told us that he converted to Islam in 2013 two 1014 and that he did so primarily we as the story goes, he married an Iraqi woman in 2014. He was married in the Falls River Mosque, which you're familiar with. I am probably the most notorious mosque in in the country. And it was the imam who actually

performed the ceremony. The Islamic marriage ceremony for them is one of the unindicted Co conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Do you want to you want to flesh out what that means just for people's awareness? People hear things like unindicted Co conspirator. Not a Co conspirator means that you're guilty, but you gave the right information to the Fed so they didn't. They didn't convict you or charge you for the. Crime.

They had information on you, at least probable cause to believe you were involved, but chose not to indict you for some reason, often times cooperation. Correct, correct. Just just so we're, we're not making slanderous statements here. What we are saying is these are things that that are pretty well documented, but less people you know have any problems making these thoughts. Right and. And I've sat outside of that mosque. I've sat outside of that mosque.

And when you sent me the, the name of it, I told you where I used to sit and what I what, what streets we would go and what, what event, you know, vantage point and visibility we had for pickups. So I'm familiar with that mosque. Yeah. So now we have now we have a whole other line of inquiry that we're involved in in this process. It, it and it goes into his personal life. We discover that he's, he's fluent in Arabic. In fact, he speaks native, native.

We've had people actually listen to them in interviews overseas where he's speaking and answering, taking questions and speaking in Arabic. And they're like going, he doesn't even have an accent. He's like, wow. And that's pretty, that's pretty impressive. It's impressive. It's impressive. We also learned, I mean, there was 1000 things running through my head, but he, he, he claims that he has both a bachelor's and a master's from AMU American Military University.

We actually have the screenshot of the response from AMU said he never got a master's at our, our college, but that's what he's claims on his website. There's just so many of these things that don't line up with him. And we'll go back to the, the, the sources telling us that he converted to Islam, like proudly telling them, you know, Oh no, I, I, I converted. It's great.

He's tried to, we have, we have other of his girlfriends on record who's who told us that he tried to get them to convert to Islam. Young Christian ladies while he was married by the way, and I mean when you're you know, muzzle good buzzle making have what 4-5 wives can't remember. I'm not, I'm not familiar. Yeah, but that sounds right. Yeah, praise be to praise be to Allah. Whatever. So, so sorry. Yeah. Anyway, so. Look, this goes to a deeper, A deeper statement.

It's a, it's an operating principle. I have people who will lie to you about small things like I haven't been in a relationship, which by the way, he could have said like, look, I'm in a relationship, but it's on the outs. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in a kind of an ugly breakup right now. I got a living girlfriend and we, we've had some real troubles and you know, we're on the way out and I'm about to be a guy that's off in the world.

And you, you know, I'd love to get to know you maybe as this is going on and just want to be upfront with you. You can do that too. By the way, that's a, that's also manipulative. There are ways you can actually spin it if you're a spinner. But if you're a liar, then you're a liar. And it turns out that I keep finding that people that are willing to have lies in their private life will have lies in their public life as well. And it, that's just a, that's just a, that's just their, their

modus operandi. They just choose, they choose falsehood conveniently. And so, you know, that doesn't substantiate what he's doing, but it is interesting that it starts off with a lie about a date. Yeah, and there's and there's nothing wrong with him if he, if he decided to, this is America, right? If he decided you wanted to convert to Islam, assalamu alaikum, you know, whatever. Yeah. Whatever those words mean, whatever terrorist, I can't speak that. Yeah, right.

Right, you know, do do do your thing, but now go home to your district in Central Florida and tell them that don't go launch your campaign in the home of a interdenominational quote UN quote Word of Faith church and introduce your pastors to the country or to your you know, your your your potential constituency people. You want to vote for you. So that's where he launched his campaign was in a was in a

Christian interdenominational. In the in the home of an interdenominational kind of charismatic type church, yeah. Like a mega, like a mega church type thing. It's a small version of, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's a wannabe mega church. Roger, I'm tracking. Yeah. Small. Yeah, that that seems dishonest, to say the very least.

Yeah, my, my, my sister happens to live in the area close to where this particular church is. And she said, she said, yeah, it's, it's more on the on par with an S&L sket of that type of church. And I went, oh, OK. I said OK, all right, well, I'll be there Sunday morning. Are you going? I'll be Oh, yeah. Heck yeah. I'll be there Sunday morning. All right, report back. Very good. I will. So, so they're just all of

these. I mean, just every time we we look at something new, there's just another little lie, another lie, another lie, another lie. It's just it's like the whole story of this guy's history is falling apart before our eyes. Now I'm talking to our other sources. We have other sources that that Agent Shady has also contacted. And finally, one of the three that that she has reached out to. And by the way, she never reached out to a single one of the Primes.

So our Houston source, the researcher, he gave her five the names of five prime sources. And this was since last November, as of May 7th, when she cut off contact on the day that Blaze released its first story about Cory Mills. Not about her, not about Agent Shady. That came last week. But when? But when Blaze released its first story, Shady went away.

Never contacted any sources. But up until that that time, and then before we published my story about Agent Shady last week, we contacted the Primes. Have you been contacted by Agent Shady at any time? Nope, never been contacted. Don't know who she is. Who are you talking about? OK. So if you're investigating stolen valor, you're contacting the primes especially. It's not like it was an oversight. She started this investigation in November and we're in May.

Yes, all right, one would think. One would think, all right, so she finally sits down with one of our sources, and now this is the lady who runs the website coreymillswatch.com. She's out of an Orlando seller and she gets a phone call. Actually, no, she got a knock, a knock and talk. So Agent Shady shows up at her house, shows up at her house unannounced and says, you know, introduce herself. Shows her her badge solo. I'm solo. No, no, no partner agent at all. 100% solo.

Our source says it was a very short 10 or 15 minute meeting. She's just told me that she was investigating the stolen valor allegations of Corey Mills. And would you be able to sit down and have a sit down conversation with me sometime? And this was in early December of last year. And so December like December 11th. And then on December 20th, she sat down and they met at a Starbucks together. And so they had a coffee talk between the source and Agent Shady.

Agent Shady did not record the conversation. She said. As a matter of fact, the source says no, It was very casual. She's just sit the agent just sipped her coffee and asked me questions and she said and the same thing she said I was she said I was so exuberantly excited, you know, to give be finally be talking to an actual federal investigator about all this work that I've been doing.

She runs the website right the documents and archives everything that they've been able to learn on on Corey Mills and same thing. She's just regurgitating everything that she's ever learned and giving it all to her. And and then Shady went away. This was December 20th of last year. Then all of a sudden in early April, Agent Shady shows up again and with a phone call or a message and says, hey, can we

get together again? Now in early April, the Mills team, including Congressman Mills himself, knows that The Blaze is looking at him and they know we're talking to all the people, including him, reaching out to him for information. And suddenly Agent Shady shows up on the, you know, the DMS of this source that runs the website and says, can we meet again? And she says, yeah, that'd be great. She doesn't know. She didn't know anything. She doesn't know that we're

working an investigation. And so they go meet at the Starbucks again by herself unaccompanied solo. The agent is and she doesn't record. She sipped her coffee again and she announces the at the beginning of this meeting. She says, just so you know, we are no longer looking at Cory Mills stolen valor where we don't think that there's any there there. We think there's a he has enough plausible deniability that there's just we're not going to pursue that any longer.

What we're mostly interested in now is what you know about his business dealings. OK, Again, the lady who runs the website says, sure, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything I know. And so that's where the conversation goes. So they reached the end of this, April 11th, sit down between Agent Shady and the lady who

runs corymillswatch.com. And the agent says, can I ask you, this is a big, this is a big ask, but would you be interested in becoming a confidential human source for compensation to assist us in this investigation and shit? And again, the lady says, yeah, well, I don't know what that means. But if it's if, if it's investigating Corey Mills, hell yeah, I'll do it. You know, whatever we need to do to take him out, take him down. I'm I'm all in. And she goes, OK, she goes well.

Further, would you be interested or would you be willing to actually go undercover in this operation to help us learn information from another lady? And she used the word undercover. Yes, use the word undercover. Would you be willing to go undercover or pay to learn information from another lady about this investigation? She said yes, absolutely I would. And they stood up. They parted and she never heard from Agent Shady again. Well, Kyle, I'm you know, this

is, this is only circumstantial. There's no absolute connective tissue here that can like we can prove this, but at this point in the Cory Mills story, there is only one other lady who has been looking into the history of Cory Mills and. That's Jill Savage. That's Jill Savage, Blaze News. So the first meeting at the Starbucks and the follow up meeting at the Starbucks both sound like source recruitment meets. That's what I would have said it

was. If it's a solo individual agent and then maybe you bring somebody else, generally you bring somebody else for like an admonishment. But some sources are handled solo. That's not crazy. There's also this like it's some policy violation, but it's not, you know, it's not terminal. People would do what's called a hip pocket source where you're running a source out of your pocket and you don't actually

declare them. And so they are not on the books per SE, but you're getting information from them. And usually that's for stuff that's not going to be. It's usually not going to go into a criminal case. It's not going to go, you know, it's background information kind of stuff. So people might have a hip pocket source, but FBI agents get credit for having sources.

What I don't like is the idea that you're trying to recruit someone to, quote UN quote, go into something that they're not already in, because what training does that Lady have for infiltration? Nothing. Yeah. And, and, you know, who approved that sort of a thing that's like, that's A to approve a, you know, try to, you're going to try to embed somebody into an organization. And I haven't, I've been like on the edge of it. You know, people in my squads

have done that. I think it requires a little bit more than like some lady. Now, for whatever it's worth, Shady Tally Bradley is a long time FBI agent and she's relatively senior, so she's not new to the game. And we found out that she used to work at inspection Division at headquarters for a long time. We also know that she is a retired Army Full Bird Colonel. And what was the unit that she was in? I don't recall, but I've. What kind of units do you remember?

What her? Yeah, it's, it's in, it's in the fact sheet that was she spoke at an event last week that I, you know, Memorial Day event that I visit. Ambush. Man, that was an ambush. Journalism. I saw it. You notice I was very polite in the way I ambushed her. But it was, it was a all, all of the publicity and local media about her being the keynote speaker for this Memorial Day event in another suburb outside of Orlando.

And it was, it listed her deployments and her accomplishments and who she was with and what divisions and blah blah, blah. Her military record right to a certain extent highlights the one thing that it left out is that nowhere and not a single advanced piece of publication or news story about her being the keynote speaker of the event was that she was a current FBI agent, which. Does seem like things that people put in when you're talking about service and and like that.

Why? Why would you ever admit that? I I don't know. I don't know so. I still don't have a good answer for that, by the way. Like that's not like that's a real question. Why would you admit that? Yeah, well, that was the first question I asked her, remember. I do. We waited and. She doesn't know the answer to that either though. Steve, I, I listened to her answer. She also doesn't know why she didn't. She's not sure she's an FBI. I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, I know people who work with her, so that's weird. Right, right. Which by the way, came out right after your story. They were like, oh, that's Shay. I know her. I've done, I've worked inspections with her and things like that. So. Wow. So the we were very, I was very polite. I had a couple people with me. We had one, one of those suspendables was with me as well.

Yeah. And and then I had a another really fun guy with me, a particular European intelligence community guy that's been assisting me on on another story. And so he was there and he was actually running the camera that we used for the for the shot. Yeah, so we were very, you know, very unobtrusive. I wore my, I wore my Blaze media badge, you know, my press badge. And there was a lot of media there. So I acted and behaved with the media. The other two just became part of the audience.

And we documented everything, photos, video of the entire event. And then there was there was 1 outside to the memorial wall and there was taps was played and, you know, Pledge of Allegiance and some other speeches that were outside. And then it was the event was over. And so as everybody was leaving, I looked at my guys and I said, now we're doing it now.

And so while she was separated from the crowd, because we did, we, we had no intention of making a scene, you know, we were not going to do that type of ambush journalism. And so very unobtrusively, I walked up to her and and asked her. I said Colonel Tally Bradley isn't true. You're also an FBI agent. Yeah. You know what, I'll splice that in right here just so people can listen to it. But we'll let people listen with their own ears. So yeah. Hey, how are you?

I'm doing very well. Very, very well. So you're also an FBI agent, aren't you? I don't know, Sir. Well, I would be. I would be curious as to what your thoughts are on the current bond. Geno catch fatal administration. I don't have any Sir. I appreciate it. You don't you don't have any comments on that whatsoever. Are you aware that Blaze Media just came out with a story about you today and your relationship to Congressman Courtney Mills? I still. Have no idea what you're

talking. About you have no idea what I'm talking about. Is it true that you tried to recruit a source as an undercover operative to investigate a Blaze Media journalist? I still have no idea. Absolutely no idea. I appreciate you coming and I thank you so much. You have you have no relationship with Congress and Tory Mills whatsoever. You don't. We wouldn't be able to find any connection. I didn't think it was offensive at all. I wanna, I wanna get you a mic system.

I'm gonna talk to you later about technology. I know, I know. I know we're gonna get you. I didn't. I didn't travel with it because I didn't think I was gonna be doing that. I was. It was like, yeah.

It's gotta, I think it needs to go into your like your snooping poop bag where you never know when you might have to go and do something like walk up with your cell phone and get A and get a thing 'cause there is there's some mumbling under her breath that I'm really curious about what it was more about like the fact that she was so evasive. And I think it's just having a little audio there wouldn't hurt. But yeah, she didn't know the answer to your question, Steve.

So like, you know. Yeah, the the, the predominant answer to my question was I don't know what you're talking about. Well, I mean, that's a lie. She obviously knew what I was. Talking, she obviously did. And and what did you? Make of that. I mean, I, I going into it, there was no way I ever expected her to answer anything. You know, I, I, I did not expect an answer. I just wanted to get the non answers in whatever form that came out on video and I did so it was great. It worked.

And it also, this is where the story gets really, really long. And I, I feel like we probably ought to just give the, the, the Super Reader's Digest condensed elevator version of it is how I got this information to the 7th floor of the Uber building. Because before that ambush, I already had a thumbs up from the top floor at Hoover that I was right.

That this was off the books, This was not something that was a predicated investigation that the FBI was doing, that she was doing some sort of, by the way, that like, I don't know any example of that in my life. I don't know anybody that's done it. I'm sure it happens.

There must be some people like people you find out that they've been using FBI databases and looking up a girlfriend and finding out, you know, like going through accurate and finding out like who else they dated or so like guys do that because and, and women do it too. They try to figure out who the connections are in their lives, their private lives. I've never heard of someone doing it on behalf of a politician.

That's pretty interesting. I, I actually and I'm I'm I'm looking it up here because I want I want to actually read this. I was. Going to say how much can you say about what your access to the 7th floor look like and. There's very, there's very little I can be specific about, but I'll, I'll tell you. I'll tell you what I can as I, as I pull up this actual

statement here. The the bottom line is, is that it was very, very difficult reporting this because as I came to my conclusion that she was working off book or working rogue. Or if you guys actually have a name for that, I don't, I don't know. What the name would be? Yeah.

Yeah. So that's, that's the way we we've characterized is that once I came to that conclusion, I came to the conclusion the best way for me to get on the inside to get this story into the system was to report a possible crime, a public corruption crime. Which would be her operating, I would call it using her official title for a, for like her private capacity interests or something to that effect. But that that would be public

corruption, yeah. My, my assumption to this day, and again, we don't have the we haven't connected her to Congressman Mills. Yeah. But my assumption has been, and the the working premise that I've been working on is that she was reporting directly to him or to one of his surrogates and about what we knew as a news organization, but also what our sources knew about what we were going to be reporting on going forward.

So that he could, as a congressman with him and his PR people could get ahead of it or, you know, or tamp it down in some manner. And and so that was my conclusion. Educated, but not proven. All right so so I I did the the 1st and the most obvious thing is I contacted the Tampa field office to try and and asked for public corruption SSA supervisory special agent right?

And Tampa absolutely refused to pass me along to anyone that took my name and number, would not hand me off to an SSA and never got a call back. So I went to national intake. What? What's the tip line called you guys? Have a talk. Yeah, The National Tactical Operations Center. Yeah. So I went through the national process. And by the way, if you ever need to call the FBI, don't bother. It's it.

I mean, it's like you get trapped in 30 minutes of robotic voicemail, you know, things that you have to and then you have to divulge all your information before anybody will talk to you. You have to give them everything. You know, your, your, your second born Social Security number and everything to even get to anybody online.

And of course I have the other unique problem is that by the time I've given the electronic robot, robotic phone system all of my information and I finally get somebody on the phone and they've got my thing pulled up on the screen, they go, Oh, yeah, he's a misdemeanor domestic terrorist from January 6th. I wonder if that even affected the fact affected the the reason for them never calling me back because not only did Orlando never, I'm sorry, Tampa never

called me back. When I finally got through at the national intake, they said, yeah, we don't have anybody we can turn you over to, but I will. I will pass this along. That's what I was told. I waited two days. I waited 2 days, no callback. Well I live in North Carolina so my next step was to call Charlotte. Field office in Charlotte.

Went through the same thing. Went through the whole EP and hell of the robotic system and not a single option you can choose from from the Charlotte robot doesn't send you back to national. You cannot get Charlotte on the phone directly. The Charlotte, the published Charlotte phone number, Charlotte area code does not get you to Charlotte. It sends you to National. Every single possible option that you can select sends you to National. And so I got back to National.

By the time I get back to National though, now through some of my friends, I now have the name of the public corruption SSA agent in Charlotte. And I get back on with National, go through the whole robotic system again, frustrated as hell. And then I demanded to speak to that individual in Charlotte. And so they transferred me and I actually got a human in

Charlotte on the phone. And then I asked for the individual, the SSA public correctional SASSA in Charlotte, and they said we'll give him the number. Well, by that time I had also had his desk number. I called his desk number. Never got a return call from Charlotte. Makes you feel good. I mean, Dan Bongino said. It's your FBI. Do you feel pretty good about that? I'll tell you what your. FBI is not doing a great job.

Steve Baker. It was and I've had to go through this with the IRS before and it's it's hell on earth going through it to get somebody on the phone with the IRS. This is far worse, far worse. So I went through Tampa National twice, Charlotte twice, nothing. Never returned phone call. So 2 Thursdays ago I woke up pissed off 9:00 in the morning.

Soon as the soon as the the office was open I happened to have a couple of phone numbers in this phone right here from before they were in the 7th floor of the Hoover building. And I said, what the hell, I've respected those numbers. I have not called cash cash's number in a year and a half. It's not something you do, even as a journalist, you don't. You respect those boundaries and you know when, when to save,

save your time. So I I typed out a text message about this long, just enough info to let them know what my frustrations were and what the problem was, and that they had the very, very likely a rogue agent working on behalf of a corrupt Congress member. And that we were about to release a story. And I needed information and I needed help on this right away. Within seconds. I had a call back from a personal assistant there within

seconds of that text going out. And when I got it, I'm just like those sources. I was excited to give them everything I knew I didn't. I didn't give them everything I knew. I gave them just enough to let them know what was happening down there and then. So this was Thursday morning two weeks ago.

And by the end of that day, I was told that this had been elevated to the deputy director's desk and to the general counsel's desk by and then and this was, and they're, they're, believe me, they're asking me questions all day. And I'm giving them as many specifics as I can as I was willing to, to help to assist them in tracking this down on Friday, same thing all day Friday.

By close of business on Friday, I not only was assured that the director had been briefed and that this had been handed in total to the general counsel to deal with. And then I got an official statement from FBI unlike anything. I had it pulled up on my phone and now my phone now dumps me out here. But so you know you know what the pat answer anytime you ask the FBI about an. FBI does not comment on an

ongoing investigation. All inquiries can be done to the PAO and will inform the public at a time that's convenient, that won't jeopardize prosecution, blah blah blah blah blah, whatever. That's it, That's it. Bottom line is we've heard 1000 times is we cannot comment, comment on an ongoing investigation. All right, so I have read this statement that I'm about to read to you and your audience right now.

I have read this to retired Sachs, retired s s as that have been, and they and, and with each one of them have gone, Oh my God, wow. Just wow. And then they repeat it. They're like, wow. My entire career, I've never heard them give a statement like this. So here it is. This is the official statement we were given and allowed to publish. What? Was the format that this came in. This was given to me in text, so obviously I have a from the. Yeah, that's my. Source 7th floor of the

building. We are not aware of the conduct in question, but we'll review the matter immediately. We're not aware of the conduct in question, but investigation into a sitting member of Congress not likely. As always, any unethical behavior will be addressed swiftly and appropriately, the spokesperson said. And this was on Friday night close of business. So not only did they say we are not aware of misconduct and then they went said, and then we will address this unethical behavior

swiftly and appropriately. And I had specifically asked for and I, I, I'm trying to make sure I don't violate the, you know, ethics of what was off the record, what was background, that sort of thing. But I'll just say this. I asked for a flair. I asked for a bat signal if we had it wrong. I said, if we have this wrong. I said, because Glenn Beck has a good relationship with Cash. Glenn Beck has a good relationship with Dan Ponchina. Don't let me fuck that up. That's fair.

For that, and I said, will you give me a bat signal or just say stop? Yeah, you got this wrong. Yeah, that's all I need. And instead I got that. And then on Saturday morning, the spokesperson gave me, added to it. They said you can add this. They said that. Means another meeting happened. By the way, Steve, that means other another discussion happened and everybody slept on it and thought more things go ahead. The the, the only addition was a

single sentence. Very simple, but but speaks volumes. Senior leadership was made aware of the situation. I was given permission to say that. And and so I'm like, OK, relief, you know, it's like, OK, I got it right. You know, I got it right. And the the weeks that I had spent investigating agent, you know, shady was correct.

And now unless we hear through the Grapevine that she's been suspended or disciplined in some manner or whatever, you know, well, that's that's that's probably the last thing that I will ever hear on this directly from FBI official. I doubt very seriously that I will ever get anything else on that. But I didn't get the bat signal. I didn't, I wasn't told to stop. And I got an, a statement from the Bureau unlike anything we've ever seen that from them before.

And, and so we felt pretty good about it and we ran with the story obviously, which is on blazetheblaze.com. Everybody should take a look at that. You know, we've got several articles in the Corey Mills series out. There's going to, there's going to be more, there's probably going to be more on this related to this particular investigation as well.

But there'll be, there'll be other stories as well with his when we're talking about Corey Mills relationships to the IC, the intelligence community, there'll be more on that as well. Because in the process of me diving into this, other things have revealed themselves. I imagine so. Yeah, so that's pretty much the the long and the short of it. And as I said, I've done my best to avoid the salacious. So I'm going to let, as I said, I'll let Rolling Stone handle that part of it.

But he's a, he's a player and very prolifically so. So that's there's that aspect of his life. He does sell weapons internationally and interestingly, after he married this Iraqi woman in that mosque by that imam in 2014, within a year, less than a year after that marriage, he was granted a $228 million government grant for his startup weapons sales business. Say that one more time for me $228 million startup grant. From the federal government. Do we know what?

What department? Is it a DoD? I, I don't know which department it is, but it's, it's all public record. I just don't remember through all the piles of documents that I've looked at where to come from. But in that business, he has become a very, very wealthy man. And as I said, he's he's been able to live quite well, travel quite well. We follow. We have somebody that actually follows his jet everywhere it goes. Internationally, he spends. A lot on his own jet.

Or does he rent it? We think it's rented but but it's but it's, you know, once you get the tail number. Yeah, as you know, you know, you know, it can be tracked, but he's. He's flying in the same jet, so he either has like a jet share program or something to that effect. So he's got, he's, he spends a lot of time in Syria, United Arab Emirates, you know, Dubai.

The usual places like that's where I mean, that's where I expect my Congress people to hang out, especially if they're from Florida. Where did he learn, by the way? By the way, by the way, before I answer that question, his company, which is his shares or his holdings are now on a blind trust because he's a congressman, right? It's now run by the chairwoman of the company is his estranged wife, who he's not yet divorced from. No big deal. She she still runs the company.

They have offices overseas in the Middle East, one for instance in Pakistan and the and on the company website right now, today they have an open office in Kabul, Afghanistan. Cool, no big deal. Yes, Congressman, but I mean, I mean, he's not responsible right now because his interests are in a blind trust. So he can't, yeah, he can't say

anything, obviously. He obviously doesn't know what's going on. And obviously when he's when he's travelling overseas in the Middle East in his private jet, he's not talking about this company at all. No, he would never do that. I'm sure not what Do you know how he learned or where he learned Arabic or when that came about? No, we've not been able to pin that down yet. Did his guys that knew him in the military have that know that about him?

I don't think that they knew it then, but I think it became evident that he did when he was working with Dyncorp because he was a very valuable asset to them at the time in that because he was doing translations for them. Wild. Yeah. And so we don't know exactly where that became important to him. You know, sometimes you marry into a, you know, foreign, you know, family with or you marry somebody from a foreign land and you become passionate about

learning their language. You know, even if you're not using it every day, you want to have such thing in common. So but if he apparently was very affluent in Arabic before he married the Iraqi woman? All right, well, we'll just not talk about like what the CIA does and giving people money until another time when we have time to talk. We. Will we will, we will table that until we learn more about what his connections are there.

Because look, I, I, I don't think it's common knowledge, but you don't get to be an international arms dealer unless you're working for or being worked by the CIA. Yeah, and I also am now concerned about the I have some more questions about Shay. I wonder if she ever did the exchange program with the CIA. I wonder if in fact she wasn't reporting to them. Well, the FBI has an open line.

Like I said, they they loan agents on, you know that we've talked about this before, but it's not common knowledge to most people. The Bureau actually does have a source handling program where they, they straight up put FBI agents into the, the agency training, put them through the farm and train them as case officers to operate with National Resource. And you know, who I'd love to recruit are like people who travel overseas. I mean, that's what they do. That's what NR does.

That's what the CI as domestic arm does. And then there's nothing nefarious about it. You go and you find people who are business folks that are going to be overseas. You're going to find people that are going to go be in China for, for legitimate and above board purposes. And you just ask them to report back certain things or maybe get some Intel on, on folks that they meet. And, you know, this is common. And by the way, every other country does the same thing.

This is not like something that's unique. That's what intelligence work is. Yeah, and by the way, we have very openly, we have Corey Mills in a recorded interview, not not recording a public, this is a public statement. It's like a podcast he did. I think it may have been with, oh, I don't remember which one. There's there's just too, too many of these things floating

through my mind right now. But he literally on one of these podcasts he does, he talks about how he was a green Badger with the the agency. Good. OK. Done. He's got that as well. I mean, it's not bad. It's not a bad thing. People work there, plenty of more. Patriotic. Maybe there's a good reason for all. Of it, maybe, maybe 10 or 15% of them, yeah.

I tend to know, I had friends in the, in the CIA tell me that they, they are less worried about the CIA than they were about the FBI, which should tell you a lot about the world that we live in. And I also will have to, of course, my buddy Ryan Maddow likes to tell me everything is the CIA's fault. It's it's almost never the CIA's fault if you think it is, because it means you don't understand what's going on except what it is the CIA's fault and the CIA is involved. So that'll be fun.

Well, with Ryan, if it's not the CIA's fault, it's Israel's fault. So. Obviously, yeah, clearly. So we've touched on the two favorite buttons. So we'll go out there and get a bunch of clicks for people that are excited about that. Share this with your friends who love conspiracies. We, I can talk about the things, but I hope you come back and

we'll do it again. And when you have more to update and obviously we'll, we'll continue to share the story and we'll continue to talk in the background lest people think otherwise. Steve and I still check in on each other, whether or not he's laying there producing kidney stones or he's out there harassing current FBI agents that don't know if they're FBI agents.

Exactly, exactly. It's been, it's been, it's actually been a joy to, you know, turn my guns in another direction lately, so. Yeah, there's only so much J6 you can eat before your your your palate's worn out. Yeah, yeah. And, and, and surprisingly, the J6 thing is not even close to over.

I mean, we got we, we got cash and Dan telling us that pipe bomb stuff is coming and things like, you know, things of that nature related to J6. But, you know, even even in Tulsi's office, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, she has a specific mandate from the president.

And this was this is published. I mean, she talked about it just last week on one of the interviews she did where she talked about that the president has specifically mandated her group, they put together what they call a dig, a director's initiative group under her direction to get to the bottom of of a handful of pet projects of the president. And one of those is he wants to understand what lit the match on

January 6th. And also he wants to make sure that the weaponization that took place afterwards from the DOJFBI ever happens again. So they are, they are working on that. So I mean, it's, it's, it's not over. And I think that because of the resources they have at OD and I, I think they're going to have the ability to probably find some things out about there.

I would imagine that that that that group of people that are in the dig are probably the most hated people in the national intelligence community right now because they're investigating them, you know? Nobody likes that. Nobody likes it all. Steve, I want to give you last word. I'm going to ask you for what is the moral of the story so far as we conclude. This story that we're talking about, this story. You're covering now. What's the moral of it as you go

forward? We need to, we need to better vet our, our choices in the primaries. There was, there were other choices other than Corey Mills and his story was so powerful. He's a good speaker. He's a, you know, he's got a silver tongue and, and he's, he's, he's smart, he's well educated. I don't know where he got his education from and but he is smart and and he presents himself very well. We got to be more careful there. And that's not just with him.

You know, I don't need to name a lot of names right now, but you know, you and I have problems with a couple of guys that have allegedly been involved in investigating the weaponization of government that are sitting in Capitol Hill and very important positions have done nothing about it. And they have that 95% voting record that I talked, talked about when we first started up today.

And, and they may or may not be controlled by, I don't know the Chinese, but but anyway, but, but the point being is, is that as I said, we have far too many Manchurian congressmen right now. And, and that's a real problem with the GOP. And it's not just at the NDC.

It's, it's at the state level. They're they're infiltrating the red States and they are this is a, this is a game plan and this is an action that is taking place by the people who hate our country and want to take our country down. Is well, you live in Texas. Look what's happening in the Texas State house right now. It's. Wild. It really is. It is wild. I, I, I am absolutely convinced that that the GOP has had, you know, the wolves in sheep's

clothing. In that case, it's the, you know, the donkeys and elephant hide have been elected and put in the State House there. I'm convinced of it. I just haven't turned my guns that direction yet. More more to follow on that. Yeah. So the moral of the story as it relates to Corey Mills is I can tell you without reservations, and I don't need a legal to approve legal approval to say this is that he is not the candidate that those in the 7th District of Florida thought they

were voting for. That's a fair statement, I think. Yeah, a lot, a lot of information has come forward and a lot more is coming. Follow Steve at the at the Blaze if you guys want to see his investigative reporting and his long form work if you want to see his snarky comments.
