“Obama put his arm around my shoulder, and he said, Bill, if you endorse me and you bring the Hispanics secretary of state. And I said, oh my god. That's fantastic. It's what Richardson always wanted... I said, Bill Richardson has exactly the same story. I said, Barack Obama promised half a dozen people that they would be secretary of state. That's the kind of person he is. He duped all of you guys.”

“Senator McCain says, welcome home. And he wants to know how he can be helpful to you. And I said, oh my god. Tell him thank you so much. He can be helpful by giving me my pension back. I said, these Obama people confiscated my pension 20 of proud government service... He said, I'm gonna put it down in the bottom. Nobody's gonna pay any attention. We're gonna get you your pension back... And then he got brain cancer. And so he couldn't be on the conference committee.”

“One of the very first lessons that I learned at the CIA is that if you wanna determine American military intentions, watch naval movements. You know, we can fly troops out all over the place. It doesn't make any difference. If you're gonna send an an entire aircraft carrier strike group, you mean business. If you're gonna send two of them, you're going to war. And we sent two.”

“I think long term, the lower that score goes, you you you you cannot risk not knowing the consequences of the score getting too low. Because if it gets too low, then what does the youth do who don't have anything to lose? Anything. The young is willing to break the whole thing because they're like, well, you know what? You guys are not doing anything.”

“I jump up, and I said, mister president, my name is John Kiriakou. I'm the CIA torture whistleblower. And then I I used my my go to line. I said, Barack Obama and John Brennan ruined my life, and you were the only person who can give it back to me. And he goes like this. He goes, Tucker Carlson told me about you.”

“He says, we sure had a good time at the Parthenon this morning, didn't we, Hill? She's just staring at him. So he repeats himself. We sure had a good time at the Parthenon this morning, didn't we, Hill? And she says, Jesus Christ, Bill. It's raining all day. I'll be in the room. And she walks between us. And I'm looking at him like, you poor man.”

“I was watching Patrick Bet David yesterday, and Patrick is a a hardcore Zionist. He's Iranian. I don't think he's Jewish. I think he's, like, half a Syrian and half Armenian.”

“But he famously threw those medals over the White House fence to protest the Vietnam War. So I'm looking at that like, what?... And he goes, are you kidding? He said those medals are the most important things in his life. He went to the P X that morning, and he bought copies. And he threw the copies over the White House.”

“The espionage act was written in 1917 to combat German saboteurs during the first World War. Between 1917 and 2009, three people were prosecuted for speaking to the press. Just under Obama, eight of us were prosecuted for speaking to the press. Eight of us.”

“We see this brilliant blinding flash of light, not very high off the ground, maybe 1,500 1,200, 1,500 feet. There's a second flash and a third flash, and we were both looking up at it. And then this orange saucer lit up, and it's just hovering there... And then it went like that at this fantastic speed that just defied the laws of physics.”
