Summary
In this episode, I sit down with two of my good friends, Marjorie and Steve Lindell, to talk about what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century. We talk about how our political ethics have been turned upside down, and how we need a Christian political ethic.

00:00:00.000
from some of your piece. It's titled, Christian Political Ethics Are Upside Down. You write this,
00:00:05.900
the church has formed its members to be adamant about policies that are difficult and contingent
00:00:10.700
and flexible about virtues that are clear and mandatory. You're not kind until kindness doesn't
00:00:16.600
work. You're to be kind even through the most brutal acts of repression and in the face of
00:00:21.560
complete political defeat. When the world is greedy, you are generous. When the world is cruel,
00:00:26.320
you are kind. When the world is fearful, you are faithful. When the world is proud,
00:00:30.760
you are humble. How do you know we're Christian? By our love. Yes, we say yes to all of this,
00:00:36.720
right until the moment when we think that our kindness, our faithfulness, or our humility
00:00:40.640
carries with it a concrete political cost. We think we know what's just and we can't do justice
00:00:46.940
without power. And so in our arrogance, we think we know better than God. We can't let kindness or
00:00:52.540
humility stand in the way of justice. Yet we're sowing the wind and now we reap the whirlwind.
00:00:58.320
The world's most Christian advanced nation is tearing itself apart and its millions of believers
00:01:03.980
bear much of the blame. You know, in 2016 and 17, David, I know you heard this when you'd ask about
00:01:11.000
Donald Trump, how can you support a man who's so cruel and profane and who pays off porn stars after
00:01:16.700
having affairs while his wife is pregnant? The laundry list is long. They say, we are electing
00:01:22.320
a president, not a saint. He's going to stand up for us. He's going to stand up for our way of life.
00:01:27.180
And boy, has that been exposed in the last few years? Yeah. And I always hated that saying because
00:01:34.380
no one was arguing that we're going to be electing saints, but there's a world of a difference between
00:01:39.820
holding someone to a standard of a saint and no standard at all. And this is what has happened
00:01:46.080
is that now there has become no standard at all. You know, one of the things that I do in the piece
00:01:51.140
is I contrast the movement that is dominating, for example, the MAGA right with the civil rights
00:01:58.220
movement, which was Christian to its core, which was thoroughly Christian and was confronting an
00:02:03.220
injustice as grotesque as Jim Crow and yet confronted that injustice with an ethic of nonviolence, with an
00:02:11.540
ethic of love and of grace. I quote John Lewis in the piece to that effect. And here we have a MAGA
00:02:18.880
movement that is proclaiming some sort of national emergency, but it's not a national emergency,
00:02:24.860
anything on the scale of Jim Crow. It's not even within shouting distance of that. And yet they have
00:02:31.160
utterly abandoned in many ways, even the most basic requirements of human decency. And again,
00:02:37.720
in their interactions with each other, in their interactions with the political opponents,
00:02:42.040
in their interactions with truth. And this is this is turning that Christian political ethic
00:02:47.780
utterly upside down. Look, look, that was Steve Stern and Dan Schultz. Just go to the site.
00:02:53.360
We have a unique opportunity to destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution
00:02:59.640
from school boards, the county commissions, the state legislatures, to the House and Senate.
00:03:05.880
But we have to deliver. And once we win the House, do we have a better Speaker of the House than MTG?
00:03:12.440
Look at that. Courage. Are we going to need her as Speaker of the House to take it to the Democrats?
00:03:29.800
All right. We got it. We got to bring. I got to get Jeff on here.
00:03:33.440
Well, I got a plane to catch. Yeah, I got a plane to catch. We have to go.
00:03:37.680
But do you believe the machine's got to go? I'm a machine guy.
00:03:55.500
You guys are terrific. You're the backbone of the country. Remember, on November 8th,
00:03:59.340
we got to win. We have to close. And then the hard work starts.
00:04:02.700
The hard work starts. And I promise you, I will be there holding our party accountable
00:04:08.140
to get the job done for all of you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Mike.
00:04:12.700
I want to tell you. How about with the communication to the country, Marjorie and Steve have gotten the word out. God bless you both.
00:04:24.200
I would have said anything. I'm just kidding. Monday, 22 August, 2022. That was the summit.
00:04:31.020
And Mike Lindell, I think we left at 9 o'clock after the audience had been there at 9 o'clock.
00:04:35.720
Since 9 o'clock in the first part of the show was The Great Awakening. Mike was there until midnight.
00:04:40.280
It was unbelievable. We're going to get into a lot of that about the day.
00:04:43.800
We want to start tomorrow's... We're still grinding here.
00:04:47.120
And tomorrow is two huge primaries in Florida and New York.
00:04:50.960
I want to go to Florida. Anna Paulina Luna in Florida, 13.
00:04:55.640
She's running through a tape. Air Force veteran.
00:04:58.980
This morning, there's a big turnout or event in this campaign that happened this morning.
00:05:09.160
Oh, yeah. I was actually just recently on with Mike Falta.
00:05:13.160
He has one of the biggest radio shows in Tampa Bay.
00:05:15.580
And he actually dropped a photo where one of my opponent appears to be in a photo, or I guess, advertising with porn stars.
00:05:26.980
So many people, when they're running in these open Republican seats, they try to say, you know, that they're Christian, conservative, etc.
00:05:33.280
And then there'll really be establishment plans that are working against the America First candidate.
00:05:38.340
And come to find out, these people are being exposed left and right.
00:05:41.520
So I think when you're fighting for the right things, the truth always comes out.
00:05:44.500
And we fully intend to bring home the win tomorrow evening.
00:05:50.900
Yesterday at the conference, you know, we spent the first day going through the 50 states and yesterday going through the machines.
00:05:56.180
But in the morning, there was a prayer session and, you know, talking about the Great Awakening and this concept of Christian nationalism.
00:06:03.040
The guy that just opened on Morning Joe, that's David French.
00:06:06.080
We call him around here President French because, believe it or not, that guy actually did run for president against Donald Trump.
00:06:19.460
What about his hit on Christians actually getting involved?
00:06:24.600
You know, since this is a Judeo-Christian nation, Christians getting involved actively in politics.
00:06:29.900
It's got the left's, the progressive left's head is blowing up right now, calling us all right-wing Christian nationalists.
00:06:37.400
What's your feelings and what are the feelings of folks down in your district?
00:06:41.820
I mean, I can tell you that there's a lot of pastors that are now getting involved.
00:06:45.380
People forget that during the Revolutionary War, you had the Black Order pastors that were the black robes that were basically fighting alongside the revolutionaries.
00:06:53.380
But ultimately, many churches now, you can't really say that you are a Christian and not get politically involved because you have one party, the Republican Party, that is protecting life, that is protecting the right for freedom of religion.
00:07:06.600
And then you have another party, the Democrat Party, that is pushing everything that stands against what our Christian values are.
00:07:13.220
I tell people many a times that they started attacking the Hispanic demographic because we are extremely Catholic, extremely conservative.
00:07:21.080
And they started saying that that was an issue.
00:07:23.300
Now they're using that and they're going after the churches.
00:07:25.700
And they will weaponize the 501c3 status and attempt to remove these statuses of churches that are becoming political.
00:07:32.020
But, you know, part of the reason why we're an amazing country is because we have our freedom of religion.
00:07:36.240
That's why the Pilgrims founded the United States.
00:07:38.940
And frankly, I'm really excited to say that I am unapologetically Christian.
00:07:44.760
And I plan to be a voice for this demographic once I get to D.C.
00:07:47.540
What about, tell me about the rally on Friday, MTG, because she left your rally.
00:07:53.560
I think she went to Sabatini's and then she came.
00:07:55.800
She spent all day Sunday in Springfield with the summit.
00:07:59.800
Talk to us about the rally on Friday, particularly if something came up at the end about your service.
00:08:07.980
And I know these smear tactics, as you get down to the end, the mud really starts flying.
00:08:14.580
Well, we had over a thousand people that showed up to our event.
00:08:18.160
So for any congressional race, that's pretty unheard of.
00:08:22.200
But, you know, as she was driving to see us, there were political operatives that were texting her.
00:08:26.620
These are people that claim to be tied to President Trump, of which they're not.
00:08:30.960
But they were texting Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that I was never in the military.
00:08:34.180
And I actually sent Marjorie my DD-214, which is my service record.
00:08:38.220
And I also sent her my guard record, which is something that I never publicly released.
00:08:43.200
Because I thought, you know, if these people are dirty, they're going to try to say that I didn't serve honorably or that I got out early.
00:08:52.480
She said, how dare you attack a service member?
00:09:15.920
You can follow me and what I'm doing on the campaign trail at VoteAPL or Real Ana Paulina.
00:09:22.900
Again, I'm the only Trump endorsed candidate in Finalis County.
00:09:26.020
I'm pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun, and anti-globalist.
00:09:28.660
And I actually am running against people that are well-funded by dark money.
00:09:31.840
So remember, these seats are incredibly important.
00:09:34.520
We're one of the only or few open Republican seats here in the state of Florida.
00:09:37.580
And when I win, we are going to be going to Washington, D.C. and joining the Freedom Caucus.
00:09:44.580
This is why it's so important, particularly for the establishment that's coming in hard.
00:09:47.720
So, Ana, Paulina, Luna, good luck today knocking on doors.
00:09:51.740
And we'll follow this closely on your social media.
00:09:57.740
And I've got to tell you, at the summit, it was absolutely amazing.
00:10:01.420
CPAC in the summit, almost back-to-back, incredible.
00:10:09.440
But I've got to tell you, the 50 states would have blown you away.
00:10:15.240
We got to meet virtually every state group yesterday or for the two days that had presented.
00:10:20.760
We're going to have all 50 states on here over the next three or four weeks.
00:10:24.740
We're going to fit them in in parts of every show.
00:10:27.000
It's just absolutely incredible what people have found.
00:10:29.440
And I keep telling people, some of the red estates, Montana, Alabama, Utah, you'd be shocked about the voting.
00:10:36.320
Really, the process of voting, the voter rolls, the canvassing.
00:10:47.120
Liz Harrington, the president's comm director, was at the summit for two days.
00:10:52.160
She was our guest yesterday in our special Sunday edition with Real America's Voice.
00:10:57.360
And she said this week the president's going on offense.
00:11:04.340
Could you walk us through where we stand this morning as you see it?
00:11:11.160
But also, what about the president going on legal offense, sir?
00:11:14.700
Yeah, so again, the president of the United States has the absolute constitutional authority
00:11:22.940
to declassify anything he wants for any reason he wants in any manner he wants.
00:11:28.680
And he does not have to report to Congress or any bureaucrat.
00:11:33.340
So, Mike, hang on right there, because I got guys on MSNBC and Fox nonstop saying that,
00:11:39.300
oh, no, there's all kind of procedures and processes, and he didn't do it.
00:11:44.180
And there's certain things that are actually above that, and he can't do it.
00:11:54.680
Because they're rolling out their heaviest guns on this very specific point.
00:12:00.580
I would say that they should go look up a 1988 Supreme Court case called Department of
00:12:07.500
the Navy v. Egan, where the Supreme Court made very clear, reaffirmed, that the president
00:12:14.120
of the United States, as the commander-in-chief, has the inherent constitutional power to declassify
00:12:21.060
anything he wants in any manner he wants for any reason he wants, and he doesn't have to
00:12:25.060
report to Congress or any bureaucrat or jump through their hoops.
00:12:27.680
And he has power separate from any statute or any regulation.
00:12:32.700
The Espionage Act or any other statute or any other regulation that deals with classified
00:12:37.800
records applies to everyone else on the planet except for the sitting president of the United
00:12:48.000
I guarantee you that's the position the Supreme Court will take because that's what they took
00:12:55.380
And the reason is that the president has that power under the Constitution.
00:13:00.480
So a Congress or a bureaucrat does not get to trump constitutional power with a statute
00:13:11.240
And I think that they're even starting to acknowledge the smart people on the left, the non-hacks on
00:13:18.760
And the reason I know that I'm right, why didn't Attorney General Merritt Garland go to the Office
00:13:24.960
of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department, OLC, which is the de facto general counsel for the
00:13:30.920
executive branch, and get a legal opinion before he ordered this unprecedented, unnecessary,
00:13:44.280
He leaked to the press that he deliberated on this decision whether to order this home
00:13:49.800
Well, if he had weeks to deliberate on this decision, he had time to get an OLC opinion.
00:13:54.700
And the reason that Merritt Garland did not get an OLC opinion is because he knows that
00:13:59.780
OLC would take the position that I'm saying, which is that the president has the inherent
00:14:03.600
constitutional power to declassify anything he wants, because that's what the Supreme Court
00:14:10.960
Separate from that, the president has the sole statutory power to determine whether something
00:14:16.620
is a presidential record that belongs to the government that almost certainly goes back
00:14:21.160
to the former president's library after it's categorized, or if that record is a personal
00:14:26.760
And that is confirmed by an Obama judge in the District of Columbia in 2012 when there was
00:14:32.920
a dispute between Tom Fenton and Judicial Watch and President Clinton over audiotapes
00:14:38.080
of the Clinton presidency that Bill Clinton had in his soccer.
00:14:46.500
I want to finish this conversation on the side.
00:14:48.220
Mike Davis from Article 3, citing cases and referring to cases.
00:15:01.420
When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights
00:15:10.260
Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote, there's been an unanticipated
00:15:15.800
and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks
00:15:21.180
that have affected our economy badly that I didn't, at the time, fully understand.
00:15:28.640
You know who understands the real threat of inflation?
00:15:31.560
People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.
00:15:35.920
They're protecting their savings from a highly turbulent economy by diversifying their 401k

00:16:40.220
Remember, go to, particularly for all the college kids going back, the people you're
00:16:44.860
Remember, keep their soccer trophies, but make sure you kit them out when they go to school.
00:16:53.640
You got sheets, you got pillows, towels, slippers, robes, everything they need to make sure
00:17:00.680
that all they can focus on is their studies, as you know, people in college do.
00:17:05.320
So make sure you bundle them off, kit them out.
00:17:10.020
Get the best deals, the best sales, the best buy one, get one's freeze.
00:17:15.280
And I want to thank Mike Lindell, just an extraordinary, the summit was absolutely amazing.
00:17:23.500
We're staying in Florida, the huge primary tomorrow, particularly for these MAGA candidates
00:17:27.680
that are running hard through the tape, the Trump-endorsed candidates.
00:17:32.660
Anthony, you've now, I think, officially set a record for us.
00:17:35.400
It's the first time we've seen you not in a car.
00:17:37.160
But we were actually questioning where the house was in the district or if the car was
00:17:45.360
Well, Steve, usually I'm out in the field knocking doors.
00:17:48.320
Our campaign actually broke the state record for door knocking.
00:17:51.980
We hit 103,000 physical households, which is by far a state record.
00:17:56.840
I don't know anybody who's hit 50,000, which is why I'm always usually in the car.
00:18:00.520
Today, I get to relax just for a little bit, do some media hits, and I'm here in my beautiful
00:18:05.240
little house that built a couple years ago and not in a car.
00:18:10.460
One of your guys, with 103,000 doors you knocked on and your team made personal contact or left
00:18:25.440
We hit 60,000 houses, probably gated communities down here.
00:18:28.820
So we hit 60,000 ungated houses and then hit the same houses another 45,000, 47,000 times
00:18:35.180
on top of the, we hit 45,000 of the 60,000 a second time.
00:18:45.080
We kind of kept it quiet, didn't broadcast our moves to our enemies, but this is what
00:18:54.220
And that's what we've been doing, getting the message to the people.
00:19:01.000
We actually knock on the door, talk to the voters.
00:19:02.920
We hit, we talked to 27,000 individual people in this race.
00:19:07.100
And that's why when the McCarthy and Swamp money came in against me, the 1.4 million,
00:19:11.160
it really hasn't changed the polls that much because people already knew me.
00:19:17.920
They walk around with a MAGA hat and a Sabatini shirt at every door.
00:19:21.060
And so they, they weren't swayed by the false ads.
00:19:26.900
Cause you're always going to be the, the establishment is always going to have more money.
00:19:30.360
As you went around and actually the made the contact with the 27,000, tell me what the
00:19:36.000
district is telling Anthony Sabatini about the nation and the direction of the nation.
00:19:40.980
Well, they're extremely angry generally at the Biden administration.
00:19:44.420
They're mad at the Biden administration and they're mad.
00:19:53.140
Uh, you know, they're very suspicious of most Republicans.
00:19:56.260
Uh, thankfully in my little trifle pamphlet, I demonstrated everything that I've done for
00:20:02.000
In fact, I tell them, I say, listen, the fact that this congressional district even exists
00:20:06.380
is because guys like DeSantis and the Warren Posse pushed to get through a good congressional
00:20:12.480
map that are good for the country, good for the state and not being weak.
00:20:16.040
Like some of the legislators in Florida originally wanted to do, which was going to create three
00:20:21.320
So, you know, that sort of, uh, actual physical manifestation of, of what we've done, you
00:20:27.640
know, telling them, listen, you know, this seat's in play because we had strong people
00:20:31.420
who have been fighting along with all the other rest of the record, you know, how it helped
00:20:35.360
get rid of the state vaccine mandate that exists on the books and stop the COVID tyranny
00:20:40.260
here in Florida, uh, stop the insane critical race theory, uh, fight for all different types
00:20:45.920
of conservative parental rights, um, things like that.
00:20:50.980
We passed a bill to stop the lawless rights existed during the George Floyd, uh, uh, crazy
00:20:58.880
People see the record and that's why they've been attracted to my campaign over the folks
00:21:03.960
that talk about some of the issues, but don't have the record of actual demonstrated fighting.
00:21:09.780
Anthony, as you're out and about today, how can people follow you on social media?
00:21:12.700
How they still find out more about the campaign?
00:21:14.640
This is a campaign is a total grassroots campaign.
00:21:16.600
This is a classic Anthony and a Paulino, you know, it's just like the Joe Kent.
00:21:22.540
You're always going to get hammered with, uh, with more money.
00:21:32.120
Uh, and the social media handle and also forms of social media is at Anthony Sabatini.
00:21:37.400
They can reach, uh, uh, any last minute donations or help.
00:21:40.420
If you know, uh, friends or family in the district here in Seminole and Volusia counties, give
00:21:44.540
them a call, give them a text, let them know what's going on and, uh, hope they're in their
00:21:50.380
Magus ascendant, Anthony Sabatini running in Florida seven.
00:21:55.200
By the way, lots of numbers, a poll over the weekend that showed that, uh, 74% of the country
00:22:02.400
I think, no, over 40% think America's best days are in back of it.
00:22:08.100
Super depressing numbers, except for MAGA, who knows that we're fighting through this.
00:22:12.520
We're going to take control here before too long and set things right.
00:22:16.100
As we say, also, uh, natural gas hit a 14 year high today.
00:22:21.380
Uh, Citibank said in England, they expect 18.6% inflation right now.
00:22:27.960
Uh, of course the VIX, uh, for the market opens a day on fire.
00:22:31.860
So a lot of turbulence in the second hour, we're going to have Philip Patrick from Birch
00:22:35.340
Gold, Dr. Peter Navarro and our own Dave Walsh on energy, this energy situation of Ben
00:22:40.660
Harnwell is going to join us here really for this energy situation and take down the German
00:22:47.380
Let me go back to Mike Davis about the situation in, in, uh, in Mar-a-Lago.
00:22:51.180
Mike, I, in, over the weekend, Mike, at the summit were thousands of, of patriots there
00:22:57.260
I had so many great compliments about you and what people really appreciate is how
00:23:01.100
you break down certain things that other people on TV don't do.
00:23:04.320
So they really understand this whole kind of Supreme court system and the judicial system.
00:23:09.040
The no, and so nomenclature is very important for us.
00:23:12.620
This is one of the most, and I didn't even know OLC existed.
00:23:16.160
I'm not a lawyer, uh, until I got into the white house and then it hit me given my years
00:23:20.660
at Goldman Sachs and hostile takeovers and M and a, you, you have the best law firms in
00:23:24.620
the country on M and a, whether it's Wachtell Lipton, Lipton or Cravath or Davis Polk or Sullivan
00:23:30.780
And they, and the investment banker at the board, they always write what's called fairness
00:23:35.240
opinions along with the investment bank to protect, uh, to give, uh, protection to the
00:23:40.560
board of directors that they, you know, they, they fulfilled their fiduciary responsibility.
00:23:45.440
OLC is essentially the in-house law firm for the justice department.
00:23:49.840
You, as you always do, you, you have focused right on the smoking gun in this situation.
00:23:54.120
If Merrick Garland, when he was whining to the Washington post and trying to be like
00:23:58.720
He was just, this thing was so, so incredibly important.
00:24:01.780
He really had to think, you know, his, his brow was knitted and he, and he prayed and
00:24:06.180
he really thought about it for weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:24:08.720
Your point is, Hey, there's Supreme court cases out here.
00:24:15.260
And I want you to tell people how this is the elite of the elite in the justice department.
00:24:19.960
Tell us about OLC and why the smoking gun here is why there's not an OLC opinion to
00:24:25.640
back up Merrick Garland's rash, uh, illegitimate and illegal move, sir.
00:24:31.220
So, yeah, as, as we talked about Merrick Garland sought an unprecedented, unnecessary and
00:24:36.980
unlawful home parade of a former president, a former president who also happens to be the
00:24:41.880
number one political enemy of Merrick Garland's boss.
00:24:44.900
And before Merrick Garland did this, he said he leaked to the, to the media that he deliberated
00:24:52.220
He's trying to do damage control because he realizes that he screwed up by ordering this
00:24:56.380
So he, he leaked out that he was very deliberative when he did this.
00:24:59.260
Well, if he deliberated for weeks on this unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful home
00:25:04.020
raid, where he went to a biased judge, magistrate judge, Bruce Reinhardt, and got an illegal
00:25:09.260
home raid from a biased judge, why didn't he take the time to go to the office of legal
00:25:14.860
counsel within his own justice department or OLC?
00:25:17.580
These are the best and brightest lawyers in America, uh, top students from top law schools,
00:25:23.980
best clerkships, including on the Supreme court.
00:25:26.400
This is essentially the mini Supreme court for the executive branch.
00:25:30.940
Their opinions at OLC are binding on the executive branch.
00:25:35.100
And that is, I would imagine precisely why Merrick Garland did not get an opinion from
00:25:40.420
OLC while he was deliberating for weeks before ordering this unlawful, unnecessary, uh, home
00:25:46.880
raid, unprecedented home raid of, of president Trump.
00:25:49.600
And the reason is, is there is case law that is clearly on point here.
00:25:53.960
Number one, the Supreme court in 1988 reaffirmed that as commander in chief, the president of
00:26:00.580
the United States has the inherent constitutional power separate from statutory authority, separate
00:26:07.420
He doesn't have to get Congress, Congress's permission or a bureaucrat who works for him.
00:26:12.360
He doesn't have to get that bureaucrat's permission to declassify anything he wants for any reason
00:26:19.520
So there's that, there's that, uh, 1988 Egan case.
00:26:22.980
So there goes the espionage act violations that Merrick Garland are looking at, because it's
00:26:27.660
impossible as a matter of law for the president to violate the espionage acts by declassifying
00:26:33.580
And a good example of that is in 2012, March, 2012, president Obama leaned over to the dictator
00:26:46.740
Obama got caught on a hot mic telling the Russian president that Obama would have more negotiating
00:26:57.180
That is certainly detrimental to America for Russia to have that information.
00:27:01.240
But the reason that the president of the United States in that case, Obama could not be charged
00:27:06.240
under the espionage act for that is because he is the president.
00:27:10.920
The authority comes from him constitutionally and it's delegated to others via statute and
00:27:17.740
So the statutes and regulations apply to everyone else on the planet, except for the president
00:27:23.240
And then the other reason that Merrick Garland should have got an OLC opinion is because it
00:27:28.020
is the other charge that they're looking at is that President Trump stole or misused or
00:27:35.700
Well, if you look at this 2012 decision from an Obama judge in the district court, Tom Fitton
00:27:40.860
at Judicial Watch sued President Clinton because he had tapes of his presidency in his sock drawer.
00:27:49.000
And this was John Solomon at Judicial Watch who found this.
00:27:53.640
But what this Obama judge said is, is that he has the sole statutory authority to determine
00:27:59.100
whether this is a presidential record that belongs to the government and then is given back to the president's
00:28:10.500
Ben Harnwell is going to join us all next in the war room.
00:28:14.280
Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation, we have to change the
00:28:29.420
Look, woke corporations are seeking to divide us.
00:28:31.600
Big banks are freezing the accounts of people who disagree with their political views.
00:28:36.120
And our supply chain is dependent upon countries that actively work against our values like the
00:28:45.020
And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:28:47.960
That's why I'm proud to partner with Public SQ, the largest network of patriotic, freedom
00:28:53.180
loving businesses and consumers our nation has ever seen.
00:28:56.320
Public SQ is the first app to connect freedom loving Americans with their local community and
00:29:04.140
Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that
00:29:08.480
took a stand against COVID mandates or a bank that could never cancel you for
00:29:17.040
There's also interactive, sensor-free community groups where you can connect with other local
00:29:24.960
Just download the Public SQ app from the Apple Store or Google Play.
00:29:32.140
You can also list your business for free so your local community can support you.
00:29:48.240
In verse 7, it says something very significant.
00:29:51.400
And I want you to really pay attention to this because this is going to give you great
00:29:54.680
hope for what God is doing and what the future will hold.
00:29:57.180
It says in verse 7 of Judges 5, the inhabitants of the village, they didn't fight, they held
00:30:03.840
Now watch this word that somehow pops off the pages of our scripture as we look at it.
00:30:21.160
They were getting off the main road and the main issues of what made them great, what
00:30:28.840
In other words, there's always an until moment that happens with God.
00:30:37.940
But I promise you, we are in that until moment that God Himself is injecting Himself in America.
00:30:46.220
God is stepping in and He's looking for us to do what?
00:30:53.780
She began to arise, the Bible says, as a mother in Israel.
00:30:58.540
Now here are four things, if you're taking notes, that God is looking in the process of
00:31:04.960
The first thing that we see in Judges 5, of how God began to get the country, the nation
00:31:15.660
The Bible says that Deborah, Judges 4, was a judge.
00:31:21.220
So you see in verse 7 of Judges 5 that I just read to you, that she arose as a mother.
00:31:27.620
So what God is going to do in the United States of America is He's going to begin to see great
00:31:40.700
They're now going to have to acknowledge because God's hands on them.
00:31:51.300
The courts are going to begin to shift in this nation.
00:31:54.600
And there are going to be great victories that God is going to bring through the Judges of
00:32:03.080
And that's yesterday in the summit, the Great Awakening portion of that that was in the
00:32:07.820
Mike, as OMB is to the administration, you know, and we have Russ Vogt on the time, the
00:32:14.580
I keep saying outside of Chief of Staff, Director of OMB is the second most important job next
00:32:24.440
OLC is essentially the OMB of the entire justice apparatus.
00:32:31.980
Their decisions are binding on the executive branch.
00:32:35.120
So what they say as a matter of law is binding on the executive branch.
00:32:39.840
By the way, and so President Trump, remember the travel ban we did in the first couple of
00:32:43.880
weeks of the administration, we had an OLC opinion.
00:32:48.780
And President Trump, this is why President Trump didn't want to back off the first travel
00:32:51.880
Remember, Madison guys talking about taking Iraq.
00:32:57.340
This is just Madison and Tillis, complete weaklings, wanting to cave.
00:33:06.560
And of course, the Supreme Court verified that when the travel ban was blessed.
00:33:12.680
First, Mike Davis, they talk about the special master, talk about all kinds of offensive
00:33:17.360
Do you see a lot of offense that you've got the big hearing on Thursday?
00:33:21.160
President Trump says he wants to make the whole thing, you know, accountable and apparent.
00:33:28.300
And so people can kind of see everything, right?
00:33:36.000
What do you think is going to happen this week?
00:33:37.260
So I think with this hearing, you're going to see that the Biden Justice Department and
00:33:44.140
Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhardt both have a vested interest in making sure that the
00:33:50.020
material that was in this affidavit doesn't see the light of day.
00:33:56.140
Bruce Reinhardt and the Biden Justice Department need to cover their tracks.
00:34:00.020
They sought and authorized an unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful home raid of a former
00:34:09.800
I think what President Trump and his lawyers need to do is file a Rule 41-G motion under
00:34:20.440
And as part of that motion, you can tee up these legal issues we've discussed, like the
00:34:24.780
president's absolute constitutional authority to declassify, his absolute statutory authority
00:34:32.140
to determine whether presidential records belong to him or if they belong, if they're
00:34:36.660
a presidential record that belongs to the government and gets categorized by the...
00:34:42.740
Biden and these guys talk about transparency all the time.
00:34:45.520
Trump, who had the raid and the ransacking done on him, he's going forward and says he wants
00:34:56.540
If Mike Davis was there, you could have sat down with a Justice Department lawyer.
00:35:01.740
And we're taking you a couple of hours to figure this out, the redaction.
00:35:06.460
In a bizarre position where the guy that gets the weight dropped on him is saying, let's
00:35:12.660
He's supposed to be the greatest criminal in the history of the United States.
00:35:17.740
For national security purposes, it's so urgent, right, of the nuclear codes or to get
00:35:23.220
his passport, which is they want to put their hands on and rummage around there, either
00:35:27.640
plant stuff or figure out something else that's going on.
00:35:32.440
Isn't it odd that Trump wants to be transparent and the government's taking a whole week sitting
00:35:38.160
Mike, have you ever seen a situation like this?
00:35:44.120
And like you said, President Trump is the target of this.
00:35:48.580
If you need to redact the names, fine, redact the names.
00:35:53.120
And if you have to redact some sources and methods, some methods separate from the names,
00:36:00.520
They're just going to take the blackout pen to the whole damn thing.
00:36:03.940
We're not going to see the fraud, the political charade that they did here to go get these
00:36:16.480
He just recused on June 22nd from Trump's civil lawsuit versus Hillary Clinton.
00:36:27.260
They know that President Trump has this absolute constitutional power to declassify.
00:36:32.060
They know he has this absolute statutory power to determine whether something's a personal
00:36:38.060
So the love notes from the North Korean president, do they belong to Trump or do they belong to
00:36:42.660
the government and get sent back to Trump's library, right?
00:36:47.740
They lied to Newsweek that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not authorize this rate.
00:36:56.300
They're saying that Trump had the nuclear launch codes, essentially.
00:37:00.760
Well, if he had those, why didn't they go get them for 18 months, right?
00:37:04.500
And if he had them, why did Merrick Garland deliberate for weeks to get this, to authorize
00:37:14.740
And if he had these nuclear documents, why did they wait three days after the magistrate
00:37:19.460
judge authorized the rate to go get the documents?
00:37:23.300
If they had the nuclear documents, how come the inventory of the material they went and
00:37:27.920
raided, how come they don't have Q-level classification on that inventory?
00:37:36.180
Why not Q, which is the Department of Energy classification for the nuclear documents?
00:37:45.780
They know it, and they're trying to cover it up.
00:37:48.600
Mike, how do people get to you on Article 3, and how do they get to you on social media?
00:37:56.460
And on my getter, Twitter, and truth, at article3project, at article3project.
00:38:11.220
Remember, that's all a misdirection play to try to crush Trump and stop.
00:38:16.580
But there's so much signal going on in the world.
00:38:18.580
Number one, a major assassination attempt over the weekend.
00:38:21.840
We reported yesterday on the show that we did Sunday morning from the summit about Alexander Dugan.
00:38:26.900
He is the geostrategist that's kind of the intellectual thinker of this Eurasian landmass strategy of Putin.
00:39:39.960
Zelensky, the European nations have cut him off.
00:39:42.940
The July numbers for him to have aid sent to him did not come from, I believe, any European nation.
00:39:51.360
There's all kind of discussion now about the corruption there, what's happening to the weapons they're going.
00:39:57.580
Zelensky, Ukrainian intelligence, CIA involvement, all of it, sir, in this takedown of Dugan, the inner circle of Putin.
00:40:09.920
Not a single European Union member state has given any fresh support to Ukraine for the whole month of July.
00:40:20.680
I just want to make sure you repeat that, because we're going to have Philip Patrick, Dave Walsh, Navarre in the second hour talking about economics throughout the world as stuff starts to crash, particularly the German economy.
00:40:31.880
Natural gas in the U.S., all-time 14-year high today.
00:40:38.300
I have people that are major owners of natural gas resources in this country say the number in the country is going to go to 12 bucks plus when that LNG facility comes on that really supports Europe.
00:40:49.440
I want to just repeat this, because the mainstream media is not reporting it.
00:40:53.480
All these commitments and all the European nations and all the stuff we got our nose rubbed into, not one nation in Europe made their commitments to Ukraine for the month of July.
00:41:16.220
I don't know if the Ukrainian troops are getting it or if the weapons are being funneled back to criminal gangs as the oligarchs make money.
00:41:29.380
And I know you're concerned with the Zelensky regime.
00:41:33.080
You're worried about where the money is going to come from.
00:41:35.180
Well, I've got some great news for you so you can relax on this front, Steve, because President Biden pledged 500 million around seven, eight days ago.
00:41:45.340
And of course, so days ago, pledged a further 750 million.
00:41:49.860
So the money's not going to run out just yet, even though, as you've just confirmed, not a single European Union member state made any fresh pledges of support for the whole month of July.
00:42:00.300
America is always there to step in and keep the tawdry, corrupt system going.
00:42:07.940
Perhaps I should give way for the break and then I'm going to come back and give some analysis on the on the fascination.
00:42:14.120
Just just real quickly for the we're going to go to break.
00:42:23.860
But is this a big story this morning, particularly the official party line on the, you know, taking it to the a soft target to the inner circle of Putin?
00:42:32.420
Is it a big story in all the European newspapers?
00:42:36.840
It means really since Saturday evening, probably more due to yesterday when when further news came in that newspapers could start to print with a degree of courage.
00:42:46.480
But it's pretty much the leading story across all of the major European newspapers yesterday.
00:43:00.200
We've also going to have a huge story in Mother Jones today about how mothers for moms for liberty are the new face of the Republican Party and the most powerful women in the nation.
00:43:11.280
We're going to have a tons of economic analysis as as the world's markets finally catch up with the underperforming economies.
00:43:20.520
Ben Harnwell from Rome on the update on what's happening on the border that Biden's focused on.
00:43:27.520
That's the Eastern Russian speaking border of Ukraine all next in the war room.
00:43:46.000
The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.
00:43:57.760
The platform for independent thought has arrived.
00:44:10.540
It's time to say what you want the way you want.
00:44:20.360
Now we've got natural gas exploding because of supply.
00:44:23.780
You've got oil dropping because of recession fears.
00:44:27.720
We're going to get it all sorted in the in the second hour of this.
00:44:33.580
I've said from day one since Jonathan Swan gave that interview of Axios, gave the interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos of Zelensky.
00:44:40.380
And Zelensky's lecturing the war room, specifically us, because he realized we were the anti-escalation voice in America, right?
00:44:48.640
With Mike Pompeo and, quite frankly, Tom Cotton embarrassing themselves about how they like little boys jumped into this thing.
00:44:54.500
It didn't think through the geopolitical, you know, second and third order issues here.
00:44:58.480
When he lectured us about reading the memoirs, you know, you haven't read enough memoirs of World War II.
00:45:05.540
I've forgotten twice the amount about World War II that you'll ever know, right?
00:45:16.520
And I told you, you should read the best and the brightest about a guy named President Diem in Vietnam.
00:45:22.140
Because when the CIA is finished with you, they throw you to the side like trash.
00:45:25.720
And this assassination has all the earmarks of not the Ukrainian intelligence, has all the earmarks of CIA.
00:45:33.180
And Alexander Burns, the head of the CIA, needs to come forward immediately and let the world know that the CIA had absolutely nothing to do with this Ben Harnwell.
00:45:42.700
You know, Steve, you've just basically killed my buried lead.
00:45:45.540
One of the theories, one of the three theories into this assassination comes from a former Russian member of parliament who's now in Kiev called Ilya Konomarov.
00:45:59.040
Now, he said that this assassination was due to the work of an organization called the National Republican Army, which is an anti-Putin front working behind the scenes on Russian territory.
00:46:11.920
And reading up about this, this organization, I have to say it's got Langley's fingerprints all over it, if this is the correct hypothesis.
00:46:21.680
The other theory, leading theory, of course, in fairness, I have to note that the Ukrainians have come out and absolutely very strongly denied any involvement in this, as you'd expect them to do.
00:46:36.540
They're saying that they're not a terrorist state.
00:46:39.680
And the other theory is from the Russians' secret service.
00:46:45.420
Their intelligence says it was a female operative, a Ukrainian operative, who has already fled into Estonia.
00:46:55.820
So those are the three principal explanations circulating right now.
00:47:01.320
What I'd like to say to you, to break this down a moment, is that there's a Russian expression that the Kremlin has many towers.
00:47:07.680
What that means is, not just because the old Secretary General of the Soviet Union said something, or something took place, it didn't mean that the Secretary General was literally behind it, pushing it.
00:47:20.640
There were a lot of people involved behind the scenes.
00:47:24.220
And I would say that's even more so looking at today's Ukraine, which a lot of people call an oligarchist.
00:47:30.580
But I think a fairer term would be to call it a thugocracy.
00:47:34.520
Now, we know that Zelensky isn't a career politician.
00:47:40.440
He came in on the back of an oligarch called Ihor Kolomoisky, who has since been sidelined, the wealthiest man then in Ukraine.
00:47:49.980
And looking at how these, you know, to give an idea to a non-Eastern European view on this, on what it means to say that Ukraine is a thugocracy.
00:48:03.080
It's basically saying that, what I mean by that is that if you take the top 200 people of power and influence behind the media in Ukraine,
00:48:10.860
they're not like the very worst of politicians that we have in the state or in the UK.
00:48:18.980
If you imagine a country where all the decisions are made by people like Don Corleone from The Godfather,
00:48:28.460
that gives you an idea of why this country in 2015 was ranked by The Guardian newspaper as the most corrupt country in Europe.
00:48:39.320
So what I want to say here, this is really important.
00:48:43.240
OK, what I'd like to say is that it might perfectly be proved that Zelensky had nothing to do with this.
00:48:49.480
But there are more than enough people who are behind Zelensky to ensure that his presidency continues.
00:49:00.200
And as much as the president does hold power, there are also these people around him who hold the power.
00:49:07.680
It's in their interest that this war continues.
00:49:11.380
I don't think I got that, but I don't I don't I don't think Zelensky had anything to do with this.
00:49:20.620
Tom, they leaked a Tom Friedman three or four weeks ago that the whitehead, they're trying to distance themselves from Zelensky.
00:49:31.040
These guys, they try to make a media stars to propel their lies.
00:49:34.500
And then when they wear themselves out, where's where's Tony Fauci right now?
00:49:37.660
They're cutting him loose because they understand we're coming from Fauci for the investigation starting in January.
00:49:42.440
So Tony Fauci is not up there talking about the president's having a covid.
00:49:46.480
He's not out defending the scathing report on CDC.
00:49:52.760
Zelensky is getting to be inconvenient, just like Diem got to be inconvenient.
00:49:56.760
And what Zelensky crossed the line is when he started inviting the CCP and to have talks about how you make Ukraine a bridge into Europe.
00:50:05.240
He's looking for a new spice trying to leverage it, looking for it because he understands his current sponsor is going to get too much political pressure from the war room because Europe has basically said we're not sending any more money to these corrupt SOBs.
00:50:18.440
They're taking the weapons and funneling back to this.
00:50:20.820
The Financial Times told us that they're funneling the money, the weapons back into the gangs of Europe and making security in Italy and France and these countries harder.
00:50:31.080
Nobody knows where that $8 billion or $10 billion a month is going, right?
00:50:35.360
And now you've got Zelensky, his own people on it, because Zelensky said, yeah, I didn't tell anybody about the imminent invasion.
00:50:40.400
I didn't tell anybody about the CIA information.
00:50:45.160
You didn't do anything because you thought you had a better idea and not tell the Ukrainian people.
00:50:51.220
Guy named President Diem went through the same thing.
00:50:56.200
They said, oh, we'll get you out of the country.
00:50:59.020
In the truck on the way to the airport, when they got to the airport, they assassinated him in the truck.
00:51:04.140
The United States government, okay, signed off by a guy named Jack Kennedy.
00:51:09.040
Much to his, later he said, well, you didn't tell me you're going to kill him, right?
00:51:14.540
You know, somebody got, the guys already thought they had a better idea.
00:51:18.480
Zelensky, don't lecture us on reading memorias of World War II.
00:51:24.060
Get a translate in Ukrainian and read the chapter on President Diem.
00:51:28.680
