Inside the Anti-Trump Dragnet, Bill Gates’ Global Strategy, and Jan 6 Pipe Bomb Secrets, with Mike Benz

Emily Jashinsky is joined by Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation For Freedom Online. They open the show with a discussion about the “Arctic Frost” whistleblower revelations and outline allegations that the Biden-era DOJ and FBI conducted sweeping secret surveillance of hundreds of figures in the GOP and conservative movement. Benz explains how this mirrors U.S.-style foreign influence campaigns of the past. They also touch on President Trump’s pardon of alternate electors, take a deep dive into how NGOs operate, and the Cold War tactics that are now at play domestically. Then Emily and Mike discuss how Bill Gates’ pledge of $200 billion to his foundation positions it as a private substitute for U.S. foreign-aid infrastructure, enabling continued influence over global governance programs even as USAID budgets tighten. The two also outline new reporting on a possible suspect in the 2021 D.C. pipe bomb case, and Mike makes an impassioned please to release the files. Emily wraps up the show with a clip of Jimmy Kimmel’s wife on the “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast and explains why her complaints about her own family say more about her, her husband, and coastal elites than it does about her family members.
