So he told his commanding officer, I should talk to them because I was a part of a special team. He met with Zelikow. They exchanged business cards and Kabul. And Zelikow said to him, Lieutenant Colonel, you've got to see me as soon as you get back to America. It's very important. When Tony went back to the States, they had shut down his office, locked his office, secured all his files.
And they then worked to destroy his personal reputation. They tried to destroy his career. I went to the floor and did a one-hour special order, calling it a scandal bigger than Watergate. You can watch the footage. It's available online.
I said, this is outrageous that the Defense Intelligence Agency is screwing a lieutenant colonel because he's telling the truth about what he was told to talk about when he came back from Afghanistan. Tony Schaefer dann in den Reserven gearbeitet, weil er von der normalen Armee verhaftet wurde, weil er das mit Zellacal gemacht hat.
Ja. Ja. Ja. What I can tell you unequivocally is, there was a cover-up. And before I answer your question, I would state one more fact. Tony Schaefer got approval from his commanding general after this whole thing happened, to write his memoirs. His memoirs are called Dark Heart. So he wrote the book. He had a publisher. He went to his commanding general to review the book as his protocol.
His commanding general said, fine, Tony, there's nothing there that's a problem. Publish it. Tony publishes the book. Our deep state finds out he's publishing the book. A cease and desist order is issued against the publisher. Stop publishing the book. It's too late. Our government, our government buys all 10,000 copies of the first edition of Dark Heart with taxpayer money. And they destroy them.
So I asked Tony on a show last September, as I've done many times. Tony, you have the original version of the book, right? Yes, here it is, Congressman. You have the redacted version, right? Yes, here it is. What did they want out of your book that was so sensitive? What secret information were you giving, Tony? What classified information did your boss not see?
He said, Congressman, the only thing they wanted out of my book was the fact that I named Zelikow and that I had briefed him in advance. That, Tucker, is treason! That means our agencies.
Our agencies use their position not for something involving our national security, but for involving a cover-up of a person's identity who was publicly approved by the Congress of the United States, appointed by the security advisor to President Bush. It's a massive cover-up.
Well, it started before 9-11 when I realized that the intelligence I was getting as the vice chairman of the committee was not really solid intelligence. I would get better information from Bill Gertz, a reporter that you know, coming to me with anonymous sources leaking to him about Intel matters.
And I would then go to the CIA and say, why am I getting this information from a reporter that I know you're leaking? from classified sources that I'm not getting as a member of Congress, who's the Vice Chairman of the Defense Committee. Are you playing games with me? And they wouldn't answer that. And that's what they do. They play games by manipulating the media to put out a narrative.
And then we have to deal with that narrative. So, Tucker, what I did, there's a group in Washington that was known as the Cockroaches. They're a group of people that work for the intelligence agencies that get along socially. And I knew them all. They trusted me. I formed a loose network of about 15 or 20. We met for breakfast every week in the members' dining room in the Capitol.
And they would feed me raw data. They would feed me raw data, then I would go to the classified briefings using that raw data, and I would ask questions of the CIA in front of the entire committee. And in many cases, I was the acting chairman, because the chairman wasn't there.
So here I am, the acting chairman of the entire committee of armed services that fully embarrassed the intelligence agencies. And I'll get into that when we talk about the 9-11 information and post-9-11, where they put Bin Laden. The point is that the agency plays games with Congress. The Congress thinks it's getting good information and it's not.
The agency wants members fighting with each other over stupid things so they can do what they want. And it's not all. There are good people in the agency that I worked with and I would go to war over. But there are some scumbags. I know those scumbags.
At the appropriate time, I'll name those scumbags who have made millions and millions of dollars and are making millions and millions of dollars today. They're making it in Ukraine. They're making it around the world. Because of context they established. And all that ties back to their positions that they got, supposedly working intelligence for the US. That's not what this country is all about.
And yes, about my daughter.
So, okay, well, here's what happened. In 1999 and 2000, they wanted me to run for chairman of the committee and jump over four or five members.
The Armed Services Committee. But in Congress, the protocol is you wait. So I have letters, which I can show you, Tucker, from Donald Rumsfeld, endorsing me to become chairman of the Armed Services Committee in 2000. I have a letter from Deputy Secretary of Defense John Henry endorsing me to become chairman of the committee in 2000. Dozens and dozens of letters. Then 9-11 happens.
I felt personally responsible because I knew that we could have prevented it by the information that the Able Danger Team, established by General Hugh Shelton, had gathered and tried to transfer three times and were blocked. So I said, uh-uh. Das ist richtig. I supported George Bush when he said we're going to send our troops over to Afghanistan.
He made those heroic comments about we're going to get them. I took that as a patriotic American and said, yes, we're going to get them. But I was worried about what the Afghans might do as they did the Russian troops when they were in Afghanistan.
