The sources do not directly confirm the claim's central fact that Sam Fatis (Faddis) wrote a CIA book around 2008-2009; the only book found by a source is 'The CIA War in Kurdistan' by Sam Faddis, published in 2020 by Casemate, which is not the 2008-2009 date claimed.

What was said

… First start coming on the show about because of his leadership in the grassroots movement in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania about the stolen election, and obviously we had him on for years and years and years on his take.

What we found

Contradicts. A Perlego listing shows Sam Faddis's book 'The CIA War in Kurdistan' with publication year 2020 from Casemate, contradicting a 2008-2009 publication date for that book.[2]

Context. The name in the claim ('Sam Fatis') appears in the passage as 'Sam Fattis' and in sources as 'Sam Faddis'; the sources that match the name refer to a different book than the one the claimant describes as published around 2008-2009.[2]

Context. No source reviewed covers a CIA-related book by this author published in 2008 or 2009, and the CIA library and archive sources do not list one.[1][3]
