The following is a transcript from the Pro America Report.
Welcome, Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. Hey. I was just down and I did a live X, I used to be called Periscope. So when it was Twitter, now it’s X. The X platform has a video streaming service and I’m doing some Pro America reporting there, which is a little bit like what I’m about to tell you in the WYNK today. Today’s WYNK. So welcome. It’s Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. Visit proamericareport.com. You’ll see there are my long form writings as well as if you sign up there, you’ll get our emails. So check it out, proamericareport.com. Well, today’s WYNK. What you need to know today’s win. Is all about the timing of things, and let’s first talk about the timing as if it’s, you know, sort of lightweight, it’s it’s not a big deal. I mean, we say like all these are the you know what, what’s going on? Why does Cassidy Hutchinson have a book right now? You know, what’s the deal with that? Her her book is out. She was a former staffer. In the in the Trump White House, she worked for Mark Meadows. She’s got a book out. Well, well, well. Does the timing really matter, and of course it does.
But so and and then John Kelly, John Kelly, the former general retired General Marine Corps general who served as the head of the Homeland Security Department, as well as served in the in the Trump White House as chief of staff and was fired. He’s out with A tour or Confirming his statements, I think maybe in a book, but it’s not a new book. But basically, he’s being trotted out to say Trump was mean and Trump wasn’t nice, and Trump was this and Trump was that. He hates Trump. And so that’s these two are trotted out and you say, well, what’s the timing? And here’s my point on this.
There is a a dynamic that you have to now step back and say if you subscribe as I do to the principle distrust and verify distrust and verify it just it’s distinct from the trust but verify Ronald Reagan policy from the 1980s where he was taking on the the Soviet Union, the Soviet communists? No, this is about our own government. It’s distrust, and then verift, distrust and verify. Maybe it should be Distrust. Period. Verify. But anyway here that’s the point is, you have to distrust from the beginning the timing and now. Now we know you look up and you say. What about timing?
And this is one of I think, the more potent criticisms of the current moment in this country. And what do I Mean by that?
Well, a few months ago, the attorney, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, the guy who has the jurisdiction over January 6 cases, mostly, almost entirely actually, a few of them end up in jurisdictions outside of here, but almost entirely, his name is Matthew Graves. And he announced that they’re gonna arrest at least 1000 more people for January 6 over the coming year. And and he started doing it. Now you say yourself, well, really, it took almost 2 1/2, three years to get this ready or or did you wait, I mean, and why did you wait? Did you wait to get more cases through the system, doesn’t feel like that was the priority. Did you wait till? What were the reasons why you waited this long? And why are you doing it now? And you say to yourself, Distrust. Then verify. My distrust meter tells me you’re doing it so you can arrest people over the next 13 months and and feed a narrative for the election. Feels like that’s pretty much obvious, right? But same thing with the indictments in Georgia. The indictments in New York, the indictments in DC, you say to yourself, you know, couldn’t these have been brought, if you were a serious legal, you know, serious legal eagle? If you were a serious prosecutor who wanted to maximize the system. You would try. You would say. I’m gonna do this early because I’m not gonna wait until we’re in a presidential cycle just a year out. That’s gonna be really distracting. That’s not gonna be good for anybody. It doesn’t matter. So, distrust. Then verify. Distrust. You say it doesn’t make sense. Why would you do it now? And they don’t have an answer. They don’t even try to answer. They don’t even try to answer.
Now back to General Kelly, John Kelly and General John Kelly. His son was killed in action in the wars and he always has that, you know, Gold Star credit with me. I mean, I always get a pit in my stomach. He gave a speech the first time he ever spoke after his son was killed. And it was just within days. He spoke in Saint Louis at an event. A friend of mine was there and it was just an unbelievable Speech and the power, I mean, you know, these, these, these people that serve in our military. I I just be careful. I wanna be careful to salute them. Even as I now criticize him. John Kelly, obviously bitter, he got fired, he got fired, he got pushed out. His policies got ignored. He was a general. He’s not used to being ignored and and pushed out. But he’s a general and so on his way out. He he’s he doesn’t say much on his exact way out, but then later he he I don’t know if he wrote a book or he just went on tour and and told all these stories and basically says the President Trump was this and President Trump was that.
But he’s back in the news now. Why? He’s back in the news not with a New book I don’t think with a new I don’t know TV program or anything, he’s just his. His stories are recycled.
Do you want to know why? Distrust then verify tells me why. It’s not because they suddenly think it’s good to tell a story about a, by a general someone that they can say is a Gold Star Father and served in the war and all that stuff so they can puff him up, and then they can say, isn’t he credible? And you know the reason why?
Because General Milley left office a few days ago. And General Milley is the greatest loser in American history. He messed up the Afghanistan withdrawal. He messed up all the ends of the the situation over there. He had a disaster within the military. It’s woke as can be. He’s had one failure after another. He he has completely politicized his position as head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He basically admitted that he kept things from his Commander in Chief. I mean, he’s a disaster of the 1st order and Trump called him a loser and he attacked Trump. So what Do you gotta do?
You gotta shut down the dynamic of the military being broken by the top guy, the top guy being such a loser. Because Trump’s laid that out and now get him off the front page, have another general and a different general be criticizing Trump for not being good enough to the military, not being respectful to the military, change the subject from the disaster that is Milley. That’s what they’re doing. That’s the game their playing. They’re not. They’re not bringing John Kelly out to confirm something he said a year and a half ago, which is what they’re they’re doing. They’re not doing that for fun.
They’re not even doing it for the presidential stuff. They’re doing it to turn the page on Milley.
Because if you have to talk about Milley, you got an open border on the South feeding fentanyl into our country. You got no control of our wars. The the Ukraine war is a disaster. That was Milley’s baby. Ohh yeah. If we do this and this and this, we’re gonna make it great. And and and it’s gonna be really working out in Ukraine. So Milley is a disaster in Afghanistan. He’s a disaster in Ukraine. He’s a disaster on the border, he politicized the office. He embarrassed himself. Either way, you can have the embarrassment. Either he embarrassed himself by backtracking on his commander in chief and saying that he was keeping things from the commander in chief unconstitutionally. Or you can say he’s a hero if you want because he stood with Trump in Lafayette Square, now called Black Lives Matter Square. Well on that fateful day when Trump said we’re not. Gonna take this. But they hated that. The left hated that the media hated that and they went on a rampage to make sure that he was gonna lose his job unless he became what – woke. And he became woke. Brothers and sisters, he went woke.
So what you need to know is the timing of this is to change the subject. Cassidy Hutchinson, Cassidy, Hutchinson. Now it’s been revealed she’s got a book. One of the best ways to Get a big book deal is don’t do something heroic. Don’t do something that’s outstanding. Don’t do something. That’s it’s extraordinary if they happen to be Trumpish. You know, there’s some. There’s some stories that should be best sellers if the narrative machine wasn’t so down on people, you know, January 6, some of the people that were there, I would think the Q Anon shaman. Now he’s had an incredible run. He should be famous, but instead he’s vilified. But if you attack Trump. You will get a book deal. And if you’re safe on that, Pence got a big book deal. Millions and millions of dollars. Obama got like $100 million. For his book Deal, right? Trump didn’t get a book deal. You would think Trump would get a book deal. Well, no, no book deal. Cassidy Hutchinson. A mid level low level. Low level, I guess staffer a professional woman, worked in the Congress for Meadows, Congressman Meadows and went to the White House. And, you know, 25 year old young woman, I assume college graduate, but she she’s now doing a tour with her book and she’s saying all sorts of crazy things. Again, I don’t know her. I don’t know if she’s lying or not. I don’t trust her. I distrust her and how she’s saying it. But I also know this.
She was interviewed 6 times by the Select Committee. Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney Select Committee. Six times, and she did a full live hearing. She was their star witness. And she they put her up there and then they destroyed the video of her, her depositions. They they destroyed the evidence. The Select Committee did. So we don’t even know what else she said or how she said it. But now she’s out there and she’s doing the circuit. Trying to sell Her book, and she just, it doesn’t Look credible. It just doesn’t look credible at all. But she’s being ly-.
And you say why the timing? The timing obviously is just like the timing of the lawsuits. It is to to to slime the guy repeatedly with messages that are reinforcing What they want the narrative to be. You know, there’s not. There’s not a single of all these people that could say things about Trump. You got, you know, you, you have all sorts of of people that quietly say Joe Biden acted like this as a senator or acted like that as a senator. But nobody’s really come forward. That said, you know, he he was a abuser of any way. So I I I would say at this point the the upside of doing that to the President, you know, being a whistleblower. Of how he treated people would be pretty positive. I mean, you get a lot of attention, I think, especially now they’re turning on Biden. But you don’t hear that. And likewise with Trump. You don’t hear anybody say that she’s talking about that he threw a ketchup bottle at the wall. I this is just the silliest thing you’ve ever seen to say that’s what we’re gonna talk about. But it’s meant to. Continue the narrative. And so you just have to distrust it, distrust it and and and and not believe it in my opinion. And you know, and and and verify it if you think it’s. If you come to the conclusion ohh. I really believe her. It’s really true she did an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel or one of the shows it just seems like a kid a young woman it’s pretty embarrassing really not serious. But alright, that’s why the timing of John Kelly, that’s why the timing of the lawsuits, why the Timing of a lot of things.
We gotta take a break. We’ll be right Back, it’s Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report back in a minute.
