By the way, by that point, I’m fully aware that they’re purging the NSC. I’m fully aware the Schedule F order starts to surface around that time. I see the draft of it. I’m told to keep my head down. This is all of what’s happening in 2020. The guard that was coming in, and the loyalists that were being placed in certain roles, John McEntee started to play a bigger role, and the personnel he took over (he was now screening people), that is what a Trump presidency will look like. It will be those people if he gets back to office.

Sargent: Yes. This is all about what a second presidential term for Trump would look like. I want to clarify for people that Olivia Troye has become a very prominent Trump critic since those 2020 days and is out there a fair amount on this stuff. In fact, you’ve just cut an ad for the Kamala Harris campaign on immigration. As a result of your criticism, you’ve become MAGA public enemy number one or number 500, maybe, I’m not sure where on the list you are, but you’re pretty high up, right?

Troye: It has definitely made me a target. I think I’m on the deep state target list and I certainly know that I’m on their retribution list for sure.

Sargent: Olivia, what we’re talking about here again is what a second Trump term looks like. We’re talking Christina Bobb overseeing disaster relief, Kash Patel being in charge of the criminal justice or some element of the criminal justice bureaucracy after having openly and repeatedly said that what a Trump second term should do is prosecute the hell out of political opponents. This is what we’re looking at in the second term. Everything politicized all the way down and huge purges of the government, restocking with more MAGA loyalists. What are you anticipating? What does that look like, do you think?
