PRESS STATEMENT In the last 24 hours, social media has exploded over my interview with Mehdi Hassan, albeit with varied opinions. Let me set the record straight. When I signed on to the privileged job granted to me by Mr. President, I was well aware of its implications. Selling...

Reza Pahlavi: You know, from the first day I started, I considered my mission in life to bring the country to a point that we can have that final referendum and the people elect their first democratic government in the future. That to me is the finish line and mission accomplished in life. I don't have any personal ambition. I'm not seeking power. I don't want to have a crown on my head or a title, but I think that they should look at me as a bridge to that destination and not the destination itself. That's my focus. And any other argument about whether or not I will have a future role is placing a cart before the horse. My focus is on delivering on what I promised forty-seven years ago. That has been my commitment, and the reason millions of people in Iran are calling my name and want my return is because they know that they can trust me on this. I'm the only person that was not part of the revolution or ever associated with this regime. And that's a big plus when it comes to how many candidates are out there. That's why you hear my name chanted on the streets of Iran, and a lot of people in the diaspora support it as well.

We are praying for this nation. We're people of the Book, and the Book tells us to pray for our leaders, even if we don't agree with them. And Trump is one of our leaders. He was a president. And Joe Biden is one of our leaders. He is the current sitting president. There aren’t many things that President Biden does that I agree with, but it is my job to pray for him anyway. And certainly to not bring him harm. I can disagree with him and still honor the office and still honor the person. And certainly not engage in any kind of stupidity like some of the rhetoric that has gone on in the last 48 hours—and really has gone on for the last several years. Some of you are really too serious about what happens in the White House. If you'd concentrate half as much on what happens in your house, you’d be in a whole lot better shape. That's really the common denominator of success. It hasn't got anything to do with those guys up there. Yes, they do some things that affect our lives, but I've had several of them try to ruin my life, and they hadn't pulled it off. And I've had several of them try to make my life better, and they haven’t pulled that off. I'm old, and I've seen presidents that were going to be the end of democracy, and they weren't. And I've seen presidents that were going to be the second coming of Jesus, and they were not even close. I think the problem is that the level of anger has to do with the expectations of what the office can provide. Treat these people like people—they have families, they have children, they have friends. I've got friends who are congressmen, friends who are senators, and the stuff that they have to put up with… Some of you are just out of control, and you should not spend your money on Financial Peace University—You should spend it on counseling. Concentrate on fighting for or against ideas. When you have to vilify or destroy a person because you disagree with their idea, you've already lost the argument, because you've lost the high ground. You don't have to destroy people for your idea to win.

Here is my latest interview with Pierre Poilievre A few things to note as you watch this. • I am doing the occasional political episode to improve the political conversation worldwide. • I believe legacy media has forgotten it works for citizens and allowed political agendas (and $) to influence what it covers (and how) and what it doesn't cover. • As with all of our interviews, questions are not provided in advance, and no editing control is given. • I personally texted both Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney to invite them on the show. You'll note that, despite being 'Conservative' and 'Liberal', they both follow me on X. • I have no political identity I need to defend. I have voted for both parties in the past. I think they both have some good ideas (and some terrible ones). • I believe in capitalism and not socialism. I believe in free speech. And I believe the press should work for its citizens and hold the government to account. • My interest is in unleashing Canadian potential, not just for me but for my kids, and their future kids. • Topics for this episode came from my kids' school, Build Canada, and from people who approached me after my last interview with Pierre, suggesting topics that were on their minds. • I will make a 4k copy of the show available to any media outlet for free. Enjoy!

“Rwanda has gone through many difficulties. And at a personal level, by the way, my family, we became refugees when I was four years old and stayed in a refugee camp for slightly over two decades. Then later on of course the history lessons of our own tragic 1994 Genocide because of the division that was there. The lessons from that, and which shaped me or informed me and many others, it’s not just me there are many others; in a situation like that, every individual in a way you have to make personal even, or informed decisions. Either you give up and break and that’s the end of you, or you make the choice of saying, I am going to stand up to this, I am going to give it a fight that I have in me, to survive and maybe to make progress. At a personnel level that happened. I, at some point, and I know it’s not just me it’s many in our country, we’re faced with individual choices; do you give up and die or do you die fighting? And those of us who made a choice of the latter, that is how these choices [came to be]. Today I am President, I never thought, I never even lived or thought to be President, when it came I embraced it but it’s not what I was fighting for, in our struggle, I was fighting for my rights to my country, I was asking myself questions and that’s what many other Rwandans, girls and boys, men and women, were asking themselves. Those who stood up and fought for that. Later on, when you are in a place like mine and you have a responsibility, again it helps to keep reflecting; would you be the same person to make the same mistakes that people made that made you a refugee or led to loss of lives of so many, and so on and so forth, or you really want to do your best as humanely possible to feel satisfied that you are doing the right thing for yourself but also putting yourself in the shoes of many others. Are they able to stand up to these challenges the way it should happen, maybe the challenges should be minimized as much as possible? It’s what goes on in the minds, at least it does in my mind whenever I am going about my responsibilities. I am a good student of history.” President Kagame on Rwanda’s history and how it shaped him and his generation | Milken Asia Summit #MIGlobal

Don't believe what some say in the news about the Memorial. Here is what President Woodrow Wilson said on Dedication Day June 4, 1914 | Arlington National Cemetery | Dedication Day | Reconciliation Memorial I assure you that I am profoundly aware of the solemn significance of the thing that has now taken place. The Daughters of the Confederacy have presented a memorial of their dead to the Government of the United States. I hope that you have noted the history of the conception of this idea. It was suggested by a President of the United States who had himself been a distinguished officer in the Union Army. It was authorized by an act of Congress of the United States. The corner-stone of the monument was laid by a President of the United States elevated to his position by the votes of the party which had chiefly prided itself upon sustaining the war for the Union, and who, while Secretary of War, had himself given authority to erect it. And, now, it has fallen to my lot to accept in the name of the great Government, which I am privileged for the time to represent, this emblem of a reunited people. I am not so much happy as proud to participate in this capacity on such an occasion: proud that I should represent such a people. Am I mistaken, ladies and gentlemen, in supposing that nothing of this sort could have occurred in anything but a democracy? The people of a democracy are not related to their rulers as subjects are related to a government. They are themselves the sovereign authority, and as they are neighbors of each other, quickened by the same influences and moved by the same motives, they can understand each other. They are shot through with some of the deepest and profoundest instincts of human sympathy. They choose their governments; they select their rulers; they live their own life, and they will not have that life disturbed and discolored by fraternal misunderstandings. I know that a reuniting of spirits like this can take place more quickly in our time than in any other because men are now united by an easier transmission of those influences which make up the foundations of peace and of mutual understanding, but no process can work these effects unless there is a conducting medium. The conducting medium in this instance is the united heart of a great people. I am not going to detain you by trying to repeat any of the eloquent thoughts which have moved us this afternoon, for I rejoice in the simplicity of the task which is assigned to me. My privilege is this, ladies and gentlemen: To declare this chapter in the history of the United States closed and ended, and I bid you turn with me with your faces to the future, quickened by the memories of the past, but with nothing to do with the contests of the past, knowing, as we have shed our blood upon opposite sides, we now face and admire one another. I do not know how many years ago it was that the Century Dictionary was published, but I remember one day in the Century Cyclopedia of Names I had occasion to turn to the name of Robert E. Lee, and I found him there in that book published in New York City simply described as a great American general. The generosity of our judgments did not begin to-day. The generosity of our judgment was made up soon after this great struggle was over. Men came and sat together again in the Congress and united in all the efforts of peace and of government, and our solemn duty is to see that each one of us is in his own consciousness and in his own conduct a replica of this great reunited people. It is our duty and our privilege to be like the country we represent and, speaking no word of malice, no word of criticism even, stand shoulder to shoulder to lift the burdens of mankind in the future and show the paths of freedom to all the world.

Robert F. Kennedy on a landslide victory🔥: "The press won't do these polls... ...but we do them all the time." "When I run against President Biden head-to-head—just me against President Biden—I beat him in a landslide." "And when I run against President Trump, just me against President Trump head to head, I beat him. And President Biden can't beat him." "So then why am I behind? The reason I'm behind in the voting polls, the conventional voting polls, is because so many Americans are voting out of fear." "I have yet to talk to anybody outside of my family who says we're voting for President Biden because he's energetic and because he's got the cognitive capacity to outsmart everybody in the world, and he's going to give us a new vision for America. They never say that, except again, some of my family members do believe that. What they say to you really normally is, "You've got to vote for him or Trump's going to get in there and destroy the Republic." All of the messaging from President Biden—the New York Times reported—President Biden is going to have $3 billion to spend on this campaign. But he's not using that money to amplify his voice, to talk about his record, to talk about his plans for the future, to talk about his vision, his promise for our country and the American people. He's not using it to talk about how he can solve the debt problem, how he can solve the chronic disease issue, how he can wind down the forever wars. You'll never hear that from this campaign. The only thing they—their only strategy—is to try to keep me off the ballot and then to make everybody terrified of Donald Trump. On the other side, they do the same thing. They're saying you have to vote for Donald Trump, or President Biden is going to get in and it's going to be the end of the Republic. So, my challenge, and this is what I tell the press when they say, "What is your path to victory?" I say, "My path to victory is to convince Americans not to vote out of fear. If I can persuade the American public to vote out of hope, to vote out of a faith in their future, to vote for a vision for this country that they can be proud of, that they can believe in, that they can feel like their children are going to be safe, their children are going to have lives, their children are going to get into homes, if I can convince them of that, then I win the election." Easily. Oh, Franklin Roosevelt, who was one of the greatest figures in the Democratic Party history, in 1932 he said to the American people, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And the reason he said that is because he saw what was happening in Europe at that time. The Great Depression had leveled the United States' economy; it was staggering. And he saw the rise of demagogues all over the world, and they were using fear to get people—citizens of those democracies—to abandon their values and to vote to give up their rights and to vote for somebody that they otherwise didn't want to vote for. He saw the power of fear and how damaging it was for democracy. And that's something we need to remember today. And when somebody is telling you to vote out of fear, they are trying to manipulate you into abandoning your values. Are any of you going to vote out of fear during this upcoming election?" 🔥

Brennan's thoughts on his upcoming indictment Brennan "I don't know, I guess it's up to President Trump to say why [he hates me], but clearly my engagement with the CIA during the 2016 period, where we uncovered Russian attempts to interfere in the presidential election, where we determined that Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, was trying to interfere to hurt Hillary Clinton and to help Donald Trump, is something that Donald Trump still does not come to terms with and continues to believe that we try to undermine his election and his presidency, which is so far from the truth. When I was director of CIA, we tried to do our best to stop the Russians, any country, from interfering in the foundation of our democracy, which is our presidential elections. And so Donald Trump has had this gripe against me for the past 8 plus years. And again, what we're seeing right now in terms of the indictment of Jim Comey, clearly this was politically motivated. There have been the career prosecutors that resigned rather than bring charges because there was a lack of evidence, I think strongly suggests that this is something that is part of Donald Trump's revenge tour. And unfortunately, he cannot get over the past. He is somebody who has retribution, I think, in his heart and wants to hurt people, whether it be hurt them reputationally, professionally, financially, or whatever, or legally. And unfortunately, tragically, the Department of Justice now has become putty in his hands. And I think all Americans should be outraged. And I'm waiting for the Republicans, especially Republicans in Congress, to be outraged over what has happened to the Department of Justice. Question: Have you talked to any of them, the Republicans in Congress, about this? Brennan: Not recently, no. They don't call me anymore. Interviewer: I'm curious, especially because you are dealing with this personally. It feels to me that the conviction is not the point. That at the end of the day, whether or not Comey actually gets convicted by a judge at the end of this year is not the point. That it is the selling of the reputation. It is making you guys get lawyers and deal with this, making your family concerned and scared. The chilling effect that it creates to all the people who have something to say about Donald Trump and this country, whether they have power and access to resources or not. Am I right? Is the conviction the point, or is it something else? BRENNAN: Well, I think some of Trump's allies have publicly said, if we cannot charge them with something, we're going to publicly shame them. And so clearly, I think what they're trying to do is to publicly try to embarrass, defame, and disparage individuals who have given their lives in service to this country. Jim Comey, I worked very closely with him when he was director of FBI and CIA. He was trying to carry out his responsibilities to fulfill his oath of office. And I disagree with Jim on a number of issues, but I never doubted his integrity. I never doubted that he was really trying to do everything possible to continue to protect this country from foreign interference in terms of the 2016 election. So, yes, I do believe that what Trump is doing when he talks in such disparaging and profane terms about individuals. Interviewer: And he even said in a recent Charlie Kirk memorial service that he hates his opponents. For the President of the United States to say this. Is it just about disparaging individuals, though? You're the former director of the CIA. Jim Comey is the former director of the FBI. What does this do to Americans' trust in those institutions, in the FBI and the CIA and the Justice Department? Brennan; Well, I think certainly it has undermined confidence in the U.S. judicial system or the Department of Justice, first and foremost, because he's using now prosecutions against individuals. But also I think it makes the individuals within the CIA and the FBI really worry about what it is that the President of the United States may be directing them to do. He doesn't follow not just norms and traditions, but also he pushes the boundaries as far as presidential executive authority. And so I really do think in talking to a number of people, either recently retired or still in government, they really are questioning whether or not this is what they signed up for. And whether or not they can fulfill their obligations, their oath of office, in a way that is consistent with their values and the foundational principles, again, of this country. Interviewer: I realize it's a bit unusual to ask you about the potential case being built against you inside the administration. But I do want to ask about Washington Post reporting that came out this week. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revoked security clearances of current and former officials who could be viewed, called as potential witnesses in the case, according to two senior administration officials. Some of these people targeted by Gabbard worked in the Obama administration at the same time as you did and could possibly be called as witnesses in the government's probe. But these potential witnesses have been labeled by the Director of National Intelligence as unreliable and traitorous, which will complicate efforts by prosecutors to build a case against you. What is your reaction? Brennan: It was absolutely appalling that she revoked the security clearances of those 37 individuals, some of whom were still in government. And there was no basis whatsoever to do that. And the story that says that because of her revocation, it really undermines the case against me. You know, I don't see any case against me. I have looked back on all of my actions and decisions. And with John Durham, the special counsel, and others that have looked at what we did, it was certainly consistent with our legal authorities and with the law. So I don't know what they're referring to there. Individuals who used to work in the government, even if their security clearances were revoked, they could be subpoenaed. They could be called to provide testimony in support of whatever allegations they have. I just don't see a case there. Interviewer: People who are in the crosshairs of these kinds of possible investigations and how it changes your entire life and how you and your family can operate. So how are you? Brennan: Well, I'm glad that Jim Comey put out that video statement the other night where he said that they're not going to live on their knees, his family, and others shouldn't as well. I'm not going to be intimidated by the likes of Donald Trump. I have always tried to speak my mind and do what I thought was right. And clearly there is a corruption and a perversion of the justice system right now within the executive branch. And so I don't know what may be coming my way, but I'm not going to do things that are inconsistent with my ethics and my values. And what it is that I believe is important, I think more people have to speak out when they see injustice. When they see a government that is abusing its authority and its power, I think more and more people have to speak out. And I'm waiting for those Republicans in Congress to come to their senses because the damage that's being done to this country and the dangerous times that we're in, I think too many Americans do not appreciate the extent of that. And certainly I think we're in for even choppier waters ahead. Interviewer: Talking about speaking out, you said that you're still talking to people inside of government. Do you think that it's time for people to hand in their resignations as a sign that they think that this government isn't functioning anymore? Brennan: Well, I'm talking mostly to people who have retired and people who are now transitioning out because they have not been able to put up with what this government is involved in right now. I applaud those individuals who will not bow to Donald Trump. So Eric Siebert, the acting U.S. attorney in the eastern district of Virginia, who resigned rather than bringing charges that he thought were hollow against Jim Comey. I think more and more individuals, if they're being pushed to do something that is either illegal, unethical, unprincipled, or inconsistent with what their responsibilities are, they need to say, no, I'm not going to do that and either be fired or resign. I am hoping, though, that we're still going to have people in the national security community, in law enforcement, who are going to carry out their responsibilities. Because this country really depends on the professionals for them to do their work. This country faces so many challenges, both domestically and internationally. And so what we can't do is be distracted by all these politically motivated prosecutions. And again, I'm hoping that my former colleagues who remain inside of the government are going to continue to carry out their duties in full faith that the American people have in them. Interviewer: I think it's worth also putting a pin in the James Comey statement, which is, he also said, fear is a tool of the tyrant. Brennan: Absolutely. That's what Donald Trump's trying to do. He's trying to stop all people from talking and coerce them into it. I'm not going to be silent.

Brennan's thoughts on his upcoming indictment Brennan "I don't know, I guess it's up to President Trump to say why [he hates me], but clearly my engagement with the CIA during the 2016 period, where we uncovered Russian attempts to interfere in the presidential election, where we determined that Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, was trying to interfere to hurt Hillary Clinton and to help Donald Trump, is something that Donald Trump still does not come to terms with and continues to believe that we try to undermine his election and his presidency, which is so far from the truth. When I was director of CIA, we tried to do our best to stop the Russians, any country, from interfering in the foundation of our democracy, which is our presidential elections. And so Donald Trump has had this gripe against me for the past 8 plus years. And again, what we're seeing right now in terms of the indictment of Jim Comey, clearly this was politically motivated. There have been the career prosecutors that resigned rather than bring charges because there was a lack of evidence, I think strongly suggests that this is something that is part of Donald Trump's revenge tour. And unfortunately, he cannot get over the past. He is somebody who has retribution, I think, in his heart and wants to hurt people, whether it be hurt them reputationally, professionally, financially, or whatever, or legally. And unfortunately, tragically, the Department of Justice now has become putty in his hands. And I think all Americans should be outraged. And I'm waiting for the Republicans, especially Republicans in Congress, to be outraged over what has happened to the Department of Justice. Question: Have you talked to any of them, the Republicans in Congress, about this? Brennan: Not recently, no. They don't call me anymore. Interviewer: I'm curious, especially because you are dealing with this personally. It feels to me that the conviction is not the point. That at the end of the day, whether or not Comey actually gets convicted by a judge at the end of this year is not the point. That it is the selling of the reputation. It is making you guys get lawyers and deal with this, making your family concerned and scared. The chilling effect that it creates to all the people who have something to say about Donald Trump and this country, whether they have power and access to resources or not. Am I right? Is the conviction the point, or is it something else? BRENNAN: Well, I think some of Trump's allies have publicly said, if we cannot charge them with something, we're going to publicly shame them. And so clearly, I think what they're trying to do is to publicly try to embarrass, defame, and disparage individuals who have given their lives in service to this country. Jim Comey, I worked very closely with him when he was director of FBI and CIA. He was trying to carry out his responsibilities to fulfill his oath of office. And I disagree with Jim on a number of issues, but I never doubted his integrity. I never doubted that he was really trying to do everything possible to continue to protect this country from foreign interference in terms of the 2016 election. So, yes, I do believe that what Trump is doing when he talks in such disparaging and profane terms about individuals. Interviewer: And he even said in a recent Charlie Kirk memorial service that he hates his opponents. For the President of the United States to say this. Is it just about disparaging individuals, though? You're the former director of the CIA. Jim Comey is the former director of the FBI. What does this do to Americans' trust in those institutions, in the FBI and the CIA and the Justice Department? Brennan; Well, I think certainly it has undermined confidence in the U.S. judicial system or the Department of Justice, first and foremost, because he's using now prosecutions against individuals. But also I think it makes the individuals within the CIA and the FBI really worry about what it is that the President of the United States may be directing them to do. He doesn't follow not just norms and traditions, but also he pushes the boundaries as far as presidential executive authority. And so I really do think in talking to a number of people, either recently retired or still in government, they really are questioning whether or not this is what they signed up for. And whether or not they can fulfill their obligations, their oath of office, in a way that is consistent with their values and the foundational principles, again, of this country. Interviewer: I realize it's a bit unusual to ask you about the potential case being built against you inside the administration. But I do want to ask about Washington Post reporting that came out this week. The Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, revoked security clearances of current and former officials who could be viewed, called as potential witnesses in the case, according to two senior administration officials. Some of these people targeted by Gabbard worked in the Obama administration at the same time as you did and could possibly be called as witnesses in the government's probe. But these potential witnesses have been labeled by the Director of National Intelligence as unreliable and traitorous, which will complicate efforts by prosecutors to build a case against you. What is your reaction? Brennan: It was absolutely appalling that she revoked the security clearances of those 37 individuals, some of whom were still in government. And there was no basis whatsoever to do that. And the story that says that because of her revocation, it really undermines the case against me. You know, I don't see any case against me. I have looked back on all of my actions and decisions. And with John Durham, the special counsel, and others that have looked at what we did, it was certainly consistent with our legal authorities and with the law. So I don't know what they're referring to there. Individuals who used to work in the government, even if their security clearances were revoked, they could be subpoenaed. They could be called to provide testimony in support of whatever allegations they have. I just don't see a case there. Interviewer: People who are in the crosshairs of these kinds of possible investigations and how it changes your entire life and how you and your family can operate. So how are you? Brennan: Well, I'm glad that Jim Comey put out that video statement the other night where he said that they're not going to live on their knees, his family, and others shouldn't as well. I'm not going to be intimidated by the likes of Donald Trump. I have always tried to speak my mind and do what I thought was right.

Sometimes, it’s good to recenter yourself. When the evil of the world is heavy on your mind and heart, give it to Him. Leave it all there. Recently I discovered that there is a group of people on a certain platform who are reading through my testimony from when I was a struggling teen. I wrote it years ago, and they are mocking it as they go—making fun of my words, judging me for my past, mocking my past decisions, my decision to choose life for my first born, my path toward God, and the pain and suffering I shared with my readers in order to reach those who may not know God but are searching. Only evil people do this. And I count it as an honor and a blessing to be mocked for His name’s sake. I pray their hearts will be softened. My heart was changed. Theirs can be too. Maybe one person will enter their livestream and listen and, instead of focusing on their evil intentions, will actually listen to what I wrote and want to know more. God works in mysterious ways. All I do know is that they will have to answer to God one day. And I do not envy them for that. My joy comes from God, and it is my honor to be persecuted in a world where it is really easy to despair. They are not accomplishing what they think they are accomplishing. And I am moving forward in what God has instructed me to do. Love you all! (Song from our Sunday service. We had to prerecord it on Thursday due to the weather)

"Nigerians have no idea what they did for me. I feel like I am a Nigerian." Beyoncé "Nigerians have done so much for me and gave me so much hope and made me feel like I have a home and purpose in Africa. I have a lot of fans around the world's but they can't compare to the fans I have in Nigeria. The things I saw in Nigeria are contrary to the narrative people push on social media about them. I know that my roots are from Africa, and Nigeria is like my home in Africa. And I can confidently tell you that Nigeria is the best country in Africa. I had no idea that people even knew me in Nigeria until I went there. I was nervous about performing in Nigeria because I was afraid they didn't listen to my songs, but they knew everything. Nigerians have some of the most creative and good artists in the world." Beyoncé

American Pilot Can No Longer Stay Silent about The Kamala Harris Admin, “This needs to be heard” Hurricane Helene “Do not believe anything the government is telling you — There were hundreds of more people that were recently found and people are entombed in their cars, — They'll never be found in some cases and it's just heartbreaking.” “I think you need to know. I spent the early part of this week flying supplies in our bush planes. Me and some other guys kind of put together an effort in conjunction with Operation AirDrop — Do not believe anything the government is telling you. I have personally been up there for the first part of the week and there isn't any government up there. Your current administration is not up there.” “This is current administration because they wanted to politicize this thing. And I hate being political, but I'm going to be for a second. Decided that they would issue a TFR yesterday. And so while people are up there that could be within the last hour of their life, for the most part, the airspace was shut down. So any search and rescues that were going on, they had to stop. Planes couldn't fly because they had a TFR because some politician that wants to run for office has got to get their face on there and get a picture for the media to show that they've been there. Well, let me tell you something. They're not doing anything to help me and they're not trying to help, they're not doing anything to help the people that need it.” “It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen and the look on the folks faces that I saw when I got out of the airplane and unloaded the first goods to some people that hadn't seen anybody yet. It was it was something that I that'll live with me forever and I can't describe it.”

VIDEO Democratic Front (DF) president Mathias Mpuuga on #TheGrindPodcast with Patrick Kamara 933 KFM: 1. "...I am an active politician, I have moved in every inch and space of this country. I know where his [General Yoweri Museveni support is, it is not 71% it is not even 50%, and he knows it too." 2. "I am on record before and after the elections for having spoken out. I went out of my way and wrote to every political party in the opposition, warning and inviting them for a commonality of purpose...Immediately after the elections, I held a press conference spoke about the same issues, I had warned colleagues about that we never cared about and they happened. So, I feel that I am vindicated to the fact that I raised the alarm. Those who didn’t care, there is no much I could do to drag them." 3. "Also I could have raised the challenge about that election in the supreme court, but I was not a presidential candidate and I did not have permission to raise the same on behalf of any candidate. Remember that in one of the amendments that I had intended in the presidential elections act probably out of ignorance or excitement, was to amend the law to the fact that a citizen can challenge the election in a supreme court as long as that citizen is a voter and there is a proof that his challenge is not a waste of court’s time. I had intended that when that happens when presidential candidates are either compromised or timid, a courageous citizen can challenge that election. That didn’t happen, and the opportunity was lost." 4. "What have I done as DF? The DF is is going to challenge particular actions leading to that election and our petition to the Constitutional court is ready, if you want to know how we have moved and that we are not sleeping as the DF." #RealChangeActNow

See President wey una dey pity. Somebody that is building road on top of mountain.🤣🙆‍♀️ I told you, if you see any road that is not in good condition, happily tag the President. He knows what he came for. That Lagos–Cotonou/Badagry road, it is child’s play for him. And this is even the perfect time to fix it. Those claiming they are the ones that will save Nigeria are not going to do anything. They don’t even have the kind of time the President is dedicating to fixing roads. They will come and waste eight years and go their way. I know what I’m saying. This particular President knows what he came for. Stop pitying him on certain things,tag him with confidence and leave the rest. He will fix it. That road is a priority. It should reflect the prestige of Nigeria so that when people enter, they will nod their head and say, yes, I am in Nigeria. To those claiming to be messiahs, they dont even have any reasonable achievements, but that is a story for another day. One thing you can take home is that when it’s their turn, they will not even do anything. However, that is not the point. The point is this: now that President Tinubu is in office, if you see anything that needs fixing and it is not already captured in the plan or budget, tag him immediately and leave the rest. Because it is when he leaves that people will understand what I’m saying. Not everyone can be like him. Yes, this administration has its shortcomings, and Nigeria is a lot. But that is not the essence of this post. The Lagos–Badagry road is small thing for the President. He is doing even more than this. So with confidence, tag him and the relevant authorities. They know what to do. 📍 Gembu, Sardauna LGA, Taraba State, Nigeria 🇳🇬

"If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world." ~EB Did Burlison See a Craft at the Location He Visited? Umm, No. (Long one here with a transcript and my comments in ( ). Work today so I was a little limited with this stuff. Looking forward to the Davis interview tomorrow!) In 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison spent "almost the entire day" with the White House staff as they negotiated various aspects of the Big Beautiful Bill. While he was there, he requested help with the UFO topic because the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets kept getting blocked and struggled to get access to certain information and locations. So, he asked for a White House-level briefing, "the same briefing the President... If you're taking the request, that's my highest request." (He didn't say if he ever received that briefing.) Burlison: "Furthermore, I would like to be able to have a green light to go visit some of these locations. And the gentleman that I was asking kind of smirked. And I said, 'Is this comical to you? I mean, do you think that I'm not a serious person?'" (I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? 😀 ) Burlison: "He said, 'No.' he goes. 'I just want to go with you.' And so, it turns out he did. He was able to go with me. He had to follow the proper channels as well. And we visited the first of many sites, hopefully. I'm gonna be cautious in talking about that because I don't want to jeopardize the ability to go to the remaining locations, if you will. I truly think that, for them, this was a test of whether or not this would become a circus for them. And so, I think that I'm just treading cautiously before I release too much information about what I've learned and where I went." (I understand not giving out the location to avoid a "circus" of UFO people trying to visit, but I don't see why he can't tell us what he learned right now. Hopefully, when all the visits are done, he can share the details with us.) James Fox: "Congressman, when you say you went to visit the site, are you implying that the alleged site that could, potentially, be housing non-human technology? Is that kind of what one is alleging here?" Burlison: "Yeah. Or, once did house non-human technology, right? Now, from my insights from Grusch and others, they had...it was pretty obvious that that first site that we were going to did not have active material, but, potentially, could have in the past. So what was important was to see the facilities and the structures, and to try to ascertain for A), first and foremost, did those facilities exist? And then were they designed in such a way that would have been, you know, one could easily see that that could have been utilized for reverse engineering." (Saying that a location/facility could have been utilized for reverse engineering craft not made by humans is not enough to make the waves we need to force the tidal wave of Disclosure. We need for Burlison (or someone else) to be able to visit a facility that has a craft there now, and folks working on it who are willing to speak about their experiences there. I don't see that happening any time soon.) Leslie Kean: "May I ask If the people at the site were cooperative and helpful for you?" Burlison: "Yes." Leslie Kean: "Or were they resistant to having you visit?" Burlison: "No, they were very cooperative. What I kind of interpreted from this is that a lot of what's happening today is that you have things that have happened in the past, and the people today, you know, you're talking about personnel that have changed over many times. And so, a lot of times they're not aware of the history of some of the things that you're talking about because that's not something that they're working on, currently. But they certainly were extremely helpful." (They were either not aware of the history or, they were, and lied about it. Can't rule that out. And the fact that they were helpful/cooperative doesn't really mean much. If you want to avoid unwanted attention, you put your best face on. Or, maybe they really were ignorant and wanted to do their best to help Burlison and the other folks? No way to know.) Burlison: "I had specifically wanted to meet with a particular individual that works at that location, and I actually expected them to turn me down, but was surprised that they actually arranged a meeting in a SCIF with the person that I requested. So, I do think that they're being cooperative." (Hopefully, when all of these locations have been visited, we get to learn this person's name. Full transparency, right?) Burlison: "And now that the President has [posted on Truth Social about UFOs], I think it gives everyone all the way down the line an understanding that this is to be taken seriously and to follow through." (We shall see.) Burlison: "On the way back after the visit, the White House staffer and the other person that had made it happen both said to me that they loved doing this. This was one of the funnest things they've ever done in their job, and that these other future site locations are not at all gonna be a burden to them. If anything, they're excited and looking forward to it." (Are we going to learn who those people are? Transparency? If not, why not? We pay their salaries.) James Fox: "I had a really quick follow-up question, Congressman. If you did find what you're looking for, is there a particular protocol, or what's the directive if you find what you're looking for?" Burlison: "If I find what I'm looking for, I'm gonna be very careful to protect any kind of national-security interest. But at the same time, I've been very clear that it is not the right of this country to withhold basic, fundamental evidence that we may or may not be alone. And so, if we have any kind of evidence of that, we should be telling the world and not holding back. And give as many details as possible, and release...be as transparent as possible without jeopardizing our secrets and national security. Or secrets that pertain...that our national security is dependent upon." (For now, keep the method of propulsion (energy source) secret and away from our adversaries and tell us everything else!) Burlison: "Well, I'm just gonna speculate, okay? If we have a type of technology that we have reverse engineered, that gives us a strategic advantage that our adversaries have not? I think that, for example, letting the world know that we have this craft, here it is, here's a photo of it, but you don't have to tell the world how exactly the...what you've reverse engineered, or how that operates." (Photos aren't going to cut it. If they exist, we need to see these craft (and bodies?) in person, with our own eyes. Put them in the Smithsonian and let us see all of it. And allow independent scientists to do their own analysis so we can verify that it's non-human or anomalous.) Burlison: "In the same way that when the nuclear bomb first was invented and utilized, the world knew, we revealed to the world that we have this capability, but we certainly are not gonna tell people how to make one and the specifics behind that. So, I think that for me, that's how I would answer that question. If you were asking me, 'What would you be willing to protect as far as national security?' That would be the nature of it. "Now, I think if the technology that's derived has nothing to do with changing our threat dynamic with an adversary, and it might benefit society and the world, by all means, let's release it. Let's let the world scientific minds utilize anything that we might have discovered. And so, that's where I personally stand." (But we all that it's not going to be that simple. Most likely (if this is all legit), we'll have craft and bodies, and the tech from the craft can give us an advantage over our adversaries, while at the same time, potentially, be used to change and improve the world and human condition. So what do we do? Keep it secret? Tell the world and take our chances?) Burlison: "I don't know, I couldn't tell you what Hillary meant by that." (EB was referring to the recent interview/deposition about Epstein where Hillary Clinton said that she would release UFO files but they would be "subject to any national security implications" and it should be done so that "no national security information is disclosed." She didn't get specific.) Burlison: "If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world. If we, you know, if what Eric Davis said to me - and now that was not in a hearing in which he had been sworn in, and I'm not saying that he was telling me a falsehood - when he said that there are four alien species - and that kind of went viral - I mean, if we, if we do have evidence of that, I want the world to know. I don't see why that would be of national security interest to withhold that from the world." (Unless, the people who have seen the bodies say something like, "Their skin is something that can be used as armor and we can't allow our adversaries to learn about that. Just trying to think of reasons why the gatekeepers will tell us that information needs to be kept secret.)

"If we have evidence or if we have bodies, we should release that to the world." ~EB Did Burlison See a Craft at the Location He Visited? Umm, No. (Long one here with a transcript and my comments in ( ). Work today so I was a little limited with this stuff. Looking forward to the Davis interview tomorrow!) In 2025, Rep. Eric Burlison spent "almost the entire day" with the White House staff as they negotiated various aspects of the Big Beautiful Bill. While he was there, he requested help with the UFO topic because the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets kept getting blocked and struggled to get access to certain information and locations. So, he asked for a White House-level briefing, "the same briefing the President... If you're taking the request, that's my highest request." (He didn't say if he ever received that briefing.) Burlison: "Furthermore, I would like to be able to have a green light to go visit some of these locations. And the gentleman that I was asking kind of smirked. And I said, 'Is this comical to you? I mean, do you think that I'm not a serious person?'" (I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? 😀 ) Burlison: "He said, 'No.' he goes. 'I just want to go with you.' And so, it turns out he did. He was able to go with me. He had to follow the proper channels as well. And we visited the first of many sites, hopefully. I'm gonna be cautious in talking about that because I don't want to jeopardize the ability to go to the remaining locations, if you will. I truly think that, for them, this was a test of whether or not this would become a circus for them. And so, I think that I'm just treading cautiously before I release too much information about what I've learned and where I went." (I understand not giving out the location to avoid a "circus" of UFO people trying to visit, but I don't see why he can't tell us what he learned right now. Hopefully, when all the visits are done, he can share the details with us.) James Fox: "Congressman, when you say you went to visit the site, are you implying that the alleged site that could, potentially, be housing non-human technology? Is that kind of what one is alleging here?" Burlison: "Yeah. Or, once did house non-human technology, right? Now, from my insights from Grusch and others, they had...it was pretty obvious that that first site that we were going to did not have active material, but, potentially, could have in the past. So what was important was to see the facilities and the structures, and to try to ascertain for A), first and foremost, did those facilities exist? And then were they designed in such a way that would have been, you know, one could easily see that that could have been utilized for reverse engineering." (Saying that a location/facility could have been utilized for reverse engineering craft not made by humans is not enough to make the waves we need to force the tidal wave of Disclosure. We need for Burlison (or someone else) to be able to visit a facility that has a craft there now, and folks working on it who are willing to speak about their experiences there. I don't see that happening any time soon.) Leslie Kean: "May I ask If the people at the site were cooperative and helpful for you?" Burlison: "Yes." Leslie Kean: "Or were they resistant to having you visit?" Burlison: "No, they were very cooperative. What I kind of interpreted from this is that a lot of what's happening today is that you have things that have happened in the past, and the people today, you know, you're talking about personnel that have changed over many times. And so, a lot of times they're not aware of the history of some of the things that you're talking about because that's not something that they're working on, currently. But they certainly were extremely helpful." (They were either not aware of the history or, they were, and lied about it. Can't rule that out. And the fact that they were helpful/cooperative doesn't really mean much. If you want to avoid unwanted attention, you put your best face on. Or, maybe they really were ignorant and wanted to do their best to help Burlison and the other folks? No way to know.) Burlison: "I had specifically wanted to meet with a particular individual that works at that location, and I actually expected them to turn me down, but was surprised that they actually arranged a meeting in a SCIF with the person that I requested. So, I do think that they're being cooperative." (Hopefully, when all of these locations have been visited, we get to learn this person's name. Full transparency, right?) Burlison: "And now that the President has [posted on Truth Social about UFOs], I think it gives everyone all the way down the line an understanding that this is to be taken seriously and to follow through." (We shall see.) Burlison: "On the way back after the visit, the White House staffer and the other person that had made it happen both said to me that they loved doing this. This was one of the funnest things they've ever done in their job, and that these other future site locations are not at all gonna be a burden to them. If anything, they're excited and looking forward to it." (Are we going to learn who those people are? Transparency? If not, why not? We pay their salaries.) James Fox: "I had a really quick follow-up question, Congressman. If you did find what you're looking for, is there a particular protocol, or what's the directive if you find what you're looking for?" Burlison: "If I find what I'm looking for, I'm gonna be very careful to protect any kind of national-security interest. But at the same time, I've been very clear that it is not the right of this country to withhold basic, fundamental evidence that we may or may not be alone. And so, if we have any kind of evidence of that, we should be telling the world and not holding back. And give as many details as possible, and release...be as transparent as possible without jeopardizing our secrets and national security. Or secrets that pertain...that our national security is dependent upon." (For now, keep the method of propulsion (energy source) secret and away from our adversaries and tell us everything else!) Burlison: "Well, I'm just gonna speculate, okay? If we have a type of technology that we have reverse engineered, that gives us a strategic advantage that our adversaries have not? I think that, for example, letting the world know that we have this craft, here it is, here's a photo of it, but you don't have to tell the world how exactly the...what you've reverse engineered, or how that operates."

[WATCH] THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT RESIGN. When it comes to the President, there is always a distinctive role between him being the President of the party and the state. There are many factors that influence the state in terms of governance and stability. If the President is called upon by some to resign and he keeps quiet it can throw the state into a state of turmoil. I want to make it clear that the officials agreed with the President on his approach, he took us into confidence and explained the factors that led him to make that particular pronouncement. We believe that the President did the right thing in pronouncing in the best interest of South Africa that he will not be resigning. There was nothing in terms of the judgment that warranted the President to resign it was just mere calls made by individuals and political parties that wanted to throw our country into a state of turmoil, uncertainty and anxiety. So it was imperative that he focus on that. It was correct for him to tell the country that from where he is standing there is nothing in the judgement that states he has done any wrongdoing and what he is going to do with the options in front of him and he has made this public. The President will take the Section 89 Report on review based on the outcome of the judgment and the legal advice he has received. There are no daggers out for the President to resign just opportunistic elements. These elements do not know what they want, they want to impeach and want him to resign, they do know what they actually want. The veracity of the report has not been tested in any committee so they don’t have a basis for the President to resign.

A few days ago, at the meeting of the Senate Committee on Local Content, I had cause to recuse myself when I got to know that it was an investigative hearing summoned to investigate allegations of diversion of $14.8m against the former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva. As I explained, I attended believing it was an interactive forum with the Executive Secretary and his team. When I discovered that the hearing was specifically summoned for that purpose, I raised objections—firstly, on the ground that there should be no selective inquiry; that the entirety of the management of the fund, perhaps from inception, should be investigated, if at all, and not just one transaction. While the committee has the powers to decide what to investigate, I feel that this approach is too selective, especially bearing in mind that it is public knowledge that the EFCC has already taken steps — meaning they have investigated and reached a certain level. I thought the Committee need not investigate that particular transaction, even though it has the powers to do so. I recused myself because the person affected is a former governor of my state — my predecessor in office, and I have a policy of not joining to fight or pull down anyone. I am not like other politicians from my area or the typical politicians in Nigeria who celebrate the downfall of opponents and people they disagree with. The person concerned and I have been on different ends, leading different tendencies in various political battles in my state since 2011 till date. While we do not meet or speak or pursue any common political agenda, and we have not been in the same party since 2011, I do not practise politics that involves pulling people down or contributing to their problems. I have always limited political contest to campaigns during elections, where I outplan, out-campaign, strategize, and defeat them on the ground and through legal processes, but never by trying to bring anyone down after elections. As part of this policy I have extended support and encouragement to all who operate at the federal level in spite of political or partisan differences, knowing that if political interests do not align until elections, we will then resolve such differences at the polls. As I have always told our people, “we are few”; everyone is important. If you cannot help someone, leave the person alone, and don't destroy them. That has been my policy, which I have practised and taught for several years. As I have always maintained, I am in politics for service to God and man — I build, I raise, I develop, I defend; I don't destroy or pull down. I know that they don’t treat me the same way. When they are in a position to bring me down, they don't spare anything to achieve that goal, but to the glory of God, they have not succeeded so far, and God is still on His throne. I know these are very trying times, particularly for the people affected, and I do not intend to add to anyone’s problems. It is God who has always fought my battles and has ensured that my opponents, despite all they do using federal power or federal might, blackmail or propaganda, incitements, in spite of all these, they have not defeated my tendency till date. Even when all the major political figures unite against me, backed by federal might and greater resources, they still lose, as my politics is achored on God and the support and prayers of men — not on violence, destruction and pulling people down or celebrating their misfortune and downfall. It is on account of this that I explained my position to my colleagues in the committee, who saw reason with me, and I left. As a former governor, I feel I have a lifelong responsibility of support and fairness to all Bayelsans; which is why I have protected, supported, and encouraged all persons from my state, from the Niger Delta region, and all Nigerians, irrespective of party, till date on all issues that have been brought before me.

No Apologies, My Comment Not Targeted At Anyone or Any Region I have no reasons to say derogatory things about anyone, not even the North, not the South. What I said was very clear. I said I visited a State in the North, I didn't mention the State. And I gave an illustration that I got talking to a Gateman who said to me that he had four wives and 16 children. And I said what can the government do about such a person? What can government do about a Gateman with four wives and 16 children? That illustration is not about the North, it could be anyone in the Southwest, Southeast or South-South. Some people are saying I should apologize, and I want to state that I have no apology because I have not offended anyone. My point is, the nation needs to address the issue of its population, either North, South or anywhere. It is regrettable that people like to pervert the truth and quote others out of context. Majority of those who have reacted to that interview did not even watch it, they didn't also bother to see the video. Therefore, I can't be bothered about the anger of anyone. I have no reasons to be derogatory about anyone, any region or group.

In the past week Clint Russell asked Bret Weinstein how he would grade Trump, now that Bret voted for him for the first time in the 2024 election. Here is Bret's response: "I am confused by what I see... I am completely comfortable with having voted for Trump. It was my first time because of the apocalypse that was represented by the blue ticket. And so I just don't think there was any rational choice. We had an absolute emergency on our hands and this simple ability to vote for something that was in some way authentic made it the only game in town. Now, as for what is transpiring under the Trump administration, I am aware that there is a labyrinth of power and a hidden priority list. The administration presumably has things it wants to accomplish. The labyrinth of power sets the ground rules as to what can be accomplished at what rate and in exchange for what, I know I'm not privy to that. And so the real question is how does the stack up compared to what was possible given the cards that president Trump held on inauguration? And I don't think any of us are in a position to answer that. So, you know, is the disappointment the result of the fact that the constraints on the president are greater than we hoped and maybe imagined? Are they the result of the priorities not being the represented priorities? Undoubtedly that plays some role. But, you know, again, in light of what was, you know, we had President Biden was not the president in the meaningful sense. To have attempted to run him again. And then at the point that that became implausible, to swap in an empty shirt is such a dire commentary on the state of the Republic that I think every conversation about how the Trump administration is doing has to begin with the fact that there was no alternative."
