I saw this posted on The Blaze but I'd rather not use the link because, quite frankly, I find The Blaze's site annoying with all of the pop-ups and hinky scripts. Slows by computer down.
His vids are awesome. He was once KGB.

He has another part of the tape he played earlier. Lerner pontificating and bragging about ‘something big’ to happen in major US cities. He’ll probably have more posted on the Blaze later.
He’s on Obama, UN, colonialism, etc. right now. Interesting stuff if you can tune in.
Thanks for the links!
