Podcast appearances and mentions of Stefan Halper

In Episode 9 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapters 15 and 16 of Kash Patel's Government Gangsters, which deliver a blistering exposé of corruption, insubordination, and globalist entrenchment inside the Department of Defense. Patel recounts his time as Chief of Staff at the DoD under Trump, detailing how a hostile bureaucracy, a corrupt officer class, and unconstitutional overreach by figures like General Mark Milley subverted the president's chain of command and sabotaged efforts to end America's forever wars. The episode covers Trump's conditions-based withdrawal from Afghanistan, the strategic importance of Bagram Airfield, and Biden's catastrophic reversal that led to chaos, death, and disgrace. CannCon and Ashe unpack Patel's firsthand account of how Milley illegally positioned himself as operational authority and even warned China, an act they unequivocally call treason. Ashe draws connections between Patel's reform blueprint and Trump's current moves to dismantle globalist influence inside the military and reestablish civilian control. The duo also tackles the revolving door between the Pentagon and defense contractors, exposes the wasteful corruption of military procurement, and calls for abolishing offices like Net Assessment, which secretly funded Russiagate architect Stefan Halper. Packed with raw emotion, military insight, and real-time geopolitical parallels to Trump's recent Middle East diplomacy, this episode underscores the stakes of 2025. It's not just about winning elections, it's about gutting the Deep State and restoring a military that serves the Constitution, not the war machine.

In this explosive eyewitness account, Cambridge University historian Svetlana Lokhova exposes the “Russia hoax” —and how a devious spy Stefan Halper operating against the Trump presidential campaign ensnared Lt. General Michael T. Flynn. For his efforts, this spy collected massive payouts from the US taxpayer. Halper planted lies, entrapped unsuspecting Trump advisers, and leaked classified information to the media in 2017. Swept up in this fabricated narrative, Lokhova was falsely accused of being Flynn's lover and a Russian intelligence agent—a smear that derailed her academic career. As an eye witness, Lokhova co-operated with Special Counsel John Durham's investigation for years. Now, she reveals the truth behind Spygate, tracing the tangled web of deceit involving President Obama's inner circle, Hillary Clinton's campaign, British intelligence operatives, the CIA, and Christopher Steele and more. Drawing on newly declassified records and findings from the Durham investigation, Lokhova also exposes the media's role in amplifying these falsehoods. Recommended by Rep. Devin Nunes, Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon, Sara A. Carter, and Dan Bongino—and first discussed on The Dennis Prager Show—this new edition features an extensive Foreword packed with fresh revelations about the conspirators and their cover-ups. This is the untold story of Spygate—and Lokhova's long fight for justice. 1840 PEMBROKE COLLEGE

Chase Geiser Is Joined By George Papadopoulos. As a young, ambitious foreign policy advisor to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, Papadopoulos became the first Trump official to plead guilty in special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He is now the first campaign advisor sentenced and to have served time in prison. But as he explains in Deep State Target, there was an intricate set up at play, and it was neither Trump nor the Russians pulling the strings. American and allied intelligence services set out to destroy a Trump presidency before it even started. An energy policy consultant working for the insurgent campaign, Papadopoulos encountered a rogues' gallery of infamous figures employed by agents from the US, Britain, and Australia. Here, he gives the play-by-play of how operatives like Professor Joseph Mifsud, Sergei Millian, Alexander Downer, and Stefan Halper worked to invent a Russian conspiracy that would irreparably damage the Trump administration. Papadopoulos was there: In secret meetings across the globe, on city streets being tailed by agents, and ultimately being interrogated by Mueller's team and agreeing to a guilty plea.

Why is John Durham investigating the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment? Our review of the new Lee Smith book The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in US History. The book America has been needing, relaying the heroism of Devin Nunes in the face of constant threats to his family. Plus, we take a moment to celebrate the new "No Malarkey" campaign theme of Joe Biden. But did Biden actually bite his wife's hand at a campaign rally in Iowa? What would General Stanley McChrystal say? With Listener Calls & Music via Chris Cornell, Julietta and Tove Lo. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Latest SpyGate Updates. Are Comey's FBI and Brennan's CIA turning against one another? We review the evidence which suggests they are, in what President Trump describes as "perhaps the biggest scandal in the history of our country." We dissect weak word games from the New York Times ahead of the looming IG Horowitz Report. Is the NYT protecting the FBI at the expense of the CIA? New details emerge showing John Durham now investigating the Pentagon's shady Office of Net Assessment. Which means spook Stefan Halper in the crosshairs, along with his ONA handler James Baker. Was Baker the felony leaker of the Flynn-Kislyak phone call? And did Halper have a hand in the Steele Dossier? Along with unwitting American Taxpayers? If spy Christopher Steele's indirect Russian source was Vyacheslav Trubnikov, and it turns out that Trubnikov was a longstanding associate of Halper's, and that Steele collected information from Halper -- then the dots begin to connect here rather nicely. Once again, all roads leading to CIA John Brennan. Meanwhile, we observe Glenn Simpson of FusionGPS suddenly throwing Steele under the bus, while claiming to have been duped by the Russians. Why is Simpson doing that? And why, as Rudy Giuliani asks, was Simpson spending a lot of time in Ukraine around the time the Steele Dossier was being written? We're getting ever-closer to real answers to these questions. Holman Jenkins, writing in the Wall Street Journal, says "it's the FBI and CIA that are unlikely to survive" the shocking truth about SpyGate. We shall see. Getting Good. Run Run Rudolph, our first Christmas Song of the Season. With Listener Calls & Music via Dwight Yoakam and Rita Coolidge.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Leaks Begin on the forthcoming IG Horowitz Report. CNN suffers momentary panic with Preet Bharara, describing the "really serious" news that an FBI Agent has been caught altering FISA documents. But the initial chills were soon dampened by additional leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times. We clarify our expectations for the IG Report -- probably spicier than standard Horowitz fare, thanks to oversight from AG Barr and John Durham. Thus far, the initial MSM protective spin has been surprisingly weak. Which means trouble ahead for The Perps. Good signs, as we await the real action from John Durham's investigation into the Origins of SpyGate, which now includes spook Stefan Halper's ties to the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment. Meanwhile, Glenn Simpson of FusionGPS claims to have been duped by the Russian Natalia Veselnitskaya, while also claiming 'victim' status as his Black Ops continue to unravel. Totally Laughable. Plus, additional caller perspective on Ukraine from a former resident of Ukraine, eyewitness to corruption. Ukraine for sale, on the cheap. Also, we revisit the Golden Age we are now living in, along with the importance of cracking the MSM Propaganda Matrix in order to enjoy our lives. Setting our minds free from MSM tyranny. The power games of a failing Ruling Class. With Listener Calls & Music via Mike Ness and the Sneaker Pimps. Sacred Song from Brad Paisley.

All Roads Lead to Brennan. With SpyGate on the verge of blowing sky high, Maria Bartiromo goes on the warpath -- pointing directly at former CIA chief John Brennan as the "mastermind" of it all. From the spying to the attempted coup. Lindsey Graham says he suspects the CIA as prime mover, as does reporter John Solomon, fresh from his interview with Joseph Mifsud's lawyer. Perilously close to proof that Mifsud was a Western asset, not Russian, as falsely claimed by Comey & Mueller. AG Barr & John Durham bearing down hard on The Origins. IG Horowitz report getting longer. Stefan Halper forced to admit his spook credentials. Bruce & Nellie Ohr approaching indictment territory. The latest SpyGate analysis from Tom Fitton and Sara Carter. Wondering how far The Perps will push this country? Will they ever tap the brakes on their own malfeasance? Before the next Civil War perhaps? These are extremely dangerous people. Luckily, the good guys are winning. Onward. Devil with a Blue Dress. Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy. Toy Story 4 and Keanu Reeves. Riding the Glory Train. With Listener Calls & Music via Chris Stapleton, 10cc, The Alexandrov Ensemble and Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels. Sacred Song from Ricky Nelson.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Great Avocado Crisis, Part Deux. President Trump is "deadly serious" about placing punitive tariffs upon Mexico, until the border situation improves. Chris Wallace of Fox News worries about the impact on "avocados" in America. Mick Mulvaney, Trump's Chief of Staff, offers a brilliant response. Meanwhile, we consider the reputation and legacy of AG Barr. Should he get to the bottom of SpyGate and restore the republic, history will regard him as a hero. The right man at the right moment. Also, evidence emerges of Team Mueller doctoring transcripts. Not good. FBI McCabe walks back his "agent of Russia" chatter. Who hid the exculpatory letter from the Brits? The Brennan Dossier. Alleged Russian honeypot Svetlana Lokhova sues spook Stefan Halper. What is Cambridge Professor Christopher Andrew doing in the middle of all that? The Golden Era of Intelligence. It's getting time for the SpyGate perpetrators to take the loss. But how long will they try to hang on, how far will they keep pushing? They're risking Civil War in America to save their own skins. Back to the Swimming Pool. Notes on riding a Big Wheel. Working on the Building. Back On My Feet Again.

The Italian Angle on SpyGate. Mifsud's Coup de Grace. Why has Italian PM Giuseppe Conte suddenly fired the top management of three Italian intelligence agencies? We speculate on the fate of spook Joseph Mifsud. Is Italy preparing to hand him over? We consider the possibility that Mueller's Pitbull Weissmann needed to sideline Papadopoulos to keep him from talking about Mifsud and exposing the whole CIA/FBI scam. Hence the elaborate Tawil entrapment scheme and arrest of Papadopoulos at Dulles Airport. Meanwhile, we review the surprising Communist pedigrees of Brennan, Comey and Spy Steele. Diagnosing the coup plotters' cravings for unelected power. Who really wrote the Steele Dossier? We discuss Steele's Russian sources. Trubnikov close to Stefan Halper? So was CIA Brennan the real architect? What happened to General Petraeus in 2012? Has the Spying gone back that long? Rep. Doug Collins plans to release closed-door transcripts soon, including McCabe's. Trey Gowdy talks about an exculpatory "game changer" not yet revealed. Declassification directive next week? Why the Dems are going after AG Barr. Blasting libertarian Rep. Justin Amash. Trump standing up to China. America First. More John Wick commentary. Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. USSR National Anthem.

Democrats Race to 2020 Oblivion. Unelectable nonentities already squaring off in the surprisingly harsh Democratic Primary. Has the weirdly "affectionate" Joe Biden been knocked out before even announcing? Weak MSM test-driving their "cover up" narratives against AG Barr's handling of the Mueller Report. The irresponsible Adam "Pencilneck" Schiff can't let go of Russia, offers no apologies and claims no regrets for having raised false hopes within his own party. Meanwhile, we consider President Trump's wisely renewed focus on the 'origins' of SpyGate. How did the failed attempted coup get started in the first place? We examine the evolving Svetlana Lokhova story, the Russian academic from Cambridge now speaking out on Fox News. Falsely accused in 2017 of having had an affair with General Michael Flynn in 2014. Another entrapment exercise from spook Stefan Halper? Why was David Ignatius of the Washington Post involved? What does CIA Brennan know? Speaking of Brennan, we consider the commentary of former CIA man John Kiriakou, who says his former boss was "in over his head intellectually" as CIA director. Just not a very bright guy. Plus, we review DNI James Clapper's recent book, with its cynical exploitation of Trump's obvious joke about Russia hacking Hillary's emails. We are amused by Clapper's habit of blaming his own "tired" appearance on Donald Trump. Also, CNN's Christiane Amanpour reveals her curious antipathy towards free speech in America. Additional vignettes on fatherhood, piano recitals and the enduring omnipresence of Disney's wonderful Frozen franchise. Elsa, Anna, Hans and Olaf -- on ice. Constant companions.

SPECIAL EDITION. Matt Dunn joins Chuck Bonniwell on the Chuck & Julie Show to preview the George Papadopoulos appearance on 710KNUS. The man at the epicenter of SpyGate. Detailing the entrapment operation run against Papadopoulos by Team Obama spooks. Joseph Mifsud, Alexander Downer, Stefan Halper. Deep State Stunts and prospects for accountability. Debating the character of AG Barr and the utility of Devin Nunes' forthcoming criminal referrals. With Listener Calls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In China, the U.S. confronts an adversary that saw itself as the Middle Kingdom –the center of the universe –for 3,000 years, then endured a century of humiliation and now seeks to return to what it sees as its rightful place in the world. Join Bill Walton as he and veteran Washington foreign policy experts Dr. Stefan Halper and Adm. James Stark discuss China's comprehensive program to dominate its region and to challenge the U.S for cultural, economic and military superiority. The Trump administration has a new approach to China, and it could bear fruit. But the Chinese remain active in cyber warfare, restrict our access to their domestic markets and force companies that are allowed to do business there to hand over their technology, and none of that will change unless we force them to change. But a war is not inevitable. Instead, it's critical that the U.S. think in terms of managing our relationship with China. It is our largest trading partner and there are many lines of action to pursue that stop short of “kinetic action.” Dr. Stefan Halper and Adm. James Stark explain how on The Bill Walton Show.

TBWS44 2019_01_10 Halper Stark - China is a mass of contradictions. Intellectual property thief. America's largest trading partner. Home to 476 billionaires. Choked with air and water pollution. A rapidly aging population. And leadership eager to project its national will. China is plowing ahead with what one of my guests, Dr. Stefan Halper, call its “three warfares.” What are these and what can the U.S. do about them? Effective confrontation of this threat begins with an understanding that China views itself as the “middle kingdom” and why Beijing will only honor an agreement as long as it's gaining an advantage. Admiral James Stark and Dr. Halper join me to break it all down on “The Bill Walton Show.”

Blasting the British & Preventing Socialism in America. An important side-effect of the growing MAGA Economy is the keeping of collectivism at bay. A free and proud American Middle Class works wonders towards that end. However, the openly socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has now jumped into the leadership vacuum of the Democratic Party. How far can this phenomenon go? We consider French economist Thomas Piketty and his research on third-world resource distribution, an eventuality very much worth avoiding in America, but which remains the unconfessed goal of our Ruling Classes. Meanwhile, we vent some serious spleen against our British "allies" as they prepare for a cross-pond visit from President Trump. Will they fly their "Angry Baby Trump Blimp" in protest? We review the open borders globalist policies of PM Theresa May and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, as we trace the origins of SpyGate straight back to London. Shouldn't the Brits be apologizing for the despicable Christopher Steele and Stefan Halper? For their unconscionable meddling in our American election? We certainly think so, as we observe an intense waning of our formerly conspicuous Anglophilia. Special Relationship be damned. With Listener Calls & Music via Bill Monroe, Dwight Yoakam, SZA and Calvin Harris.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tinker, Tailor, Clapper, Halper, SPYGATE. We examine the "Criminal Deep State" and the "transatlantic plot to stop Trump." Was Judge Andrew Napolitano channeling Paul Revere when he warned last year that British Intelligence officials had spied on Candidate Trump? We explore potentially sinister UK connections to the Russian Collusion narrative. Why did so many American Intelligence Community operatives travel to London in 2016? The list includes Strzok, Priestap, McCabe, Gaeta, Schrage and Brennan. In addition, we marvel at the strange and total disappearance of UK players like Steele, Mifsud, Goldstone and Stefan Halper. Where'd they all go? Speaking of Halper, the recently outed spy, we review his history of connections to the CIA and speculate on who may have recruited Halper to keep such close tabs on Trump campaign officials. Could it have been the panicky, histrionic John O. Brennan? Regarding Obama's former CIA Director, we review a 2014 New York Times story describing the nearly unprecedented "close bond" between Brennan and Obama. Is the Criminal Deep State now busily protecting the former president? Plus, our reflections on Roman Yellowcake, a tweetstorm from Paul Sperry of the New York Post, the "Weasel Way" of James Clapper, and holding out hope for Sessions and Huber. With Listener Calls & Music via the Yardbirds, Ricky Nelson, Joe Walsh, Margaret Murray, Jamey Johnson, George Strait and the Alexandrov Ensemble.       See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opening Monologue: Hang 'Em High. Deep State gets caught, finally admits to spying on Candidate Trump. James Clapper now spinning that's "a good thing." The Washington Post says the spying on Trump was done "to protect him." Cue the laugh tracks. We review MSM attempts to sanitize and justify the activities they long denied had ever taken place. We relay details about the FBI's Operation Crossfire Hurricane, courtesy of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Devin Nunes eludes a devious DOJ trap, as Stefan Halper gets finally formally outed as an FBI informant. Robert Bauer resigns from Perkins Coie, the law firm of Hillary Clinton and the Steele Dossier. We listen to Joe diGenova's latest summary of Deep State culpability, in which he advises CIA John Brennan to get a "very, very good lawyer" forthwith. Plus, we present a trademark Clapper Flashback. Sorry, but you don't get to do this kind of stuff in America. Worse Than Watergate. How long will MSM connoisseurs swallow their shallow propaganda? With Listener Calls & Music via the Rolling Stones, Maroon 5, Calvin Harris, SZA and the Foo Fighters.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Backbone Radio's Matt Dunn stops by Chuck & Julie to discuss latest Deep State revelations. FBI informant placed on Trump Campaign? We throw sunlight into the dark corners of this enormous, egregious political scandal. We cover Names, Dates & Places and distinguish Black Hats from White Hats. On the list: STEFAN HALPER, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Joseph "Maltese Falcon" Mifsud, Alexander Downer, Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, John Brennan, James Comey, James Clapper, Susan Rice and Samantha Power. Five Eyes in Trouble? US-UK Special Relationship Blown? Seeking Rough Justice for the Six Ways from Sunday Crowd. It's time. But what happens next?

Just this year, the Chinese Communist Party held an election in the Great Hall of the People where Xi Jinping was voted “President for Life.” The vote was 2,958 for and six against. With this vote they proclaimed that China is now realizing its dream of national rejuvenation, and it's grand strategy to restore its Empire. This move only adds fuel to mounting evidence of Chinese economic and military ambitions that we've been learning about from Cambridge University Professor Stefan Halper and Pat Mulloy, a longtime member of the bipartisan China Commission. Listen in as we discuss China's emerging empire, the economic and territorial ambitions that go with it, and President Xi's increased monitoring and repression of the Chinese people to stamp out any hint of dissent.

“You're looking at a country which is the most radical actor on the global stage since the French Revolution.” China is plowing forward with an agenda of economic aggression, empirical ambitions, and a complete disregard for international law and customs.  How did this happen?  It turns out to be a toxic combination of long national embarrassment, Confucian thought, and terrible missteps by the U.S. and others. To give us a much-needed Chinese history lesson, I brought in former Commerce Department official Pat Mulloy, who also served as a commissioner on the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, and Stefan Halper, a professor at Cambridge University who worked in the Nixon and Ford administrations.   Before we can chart an effective path forward, we have to understand where China has been, what it wants, and how it plans to get there.  Listen here for a great discussion on this vitally important topic.
