Join Steve and Jack as they kick off the first day of AmericaFest in Arizona with a special guest Jack Posobiec and an update on the race to be the next Speaker of the House, and a look ahead to the weekend's events.
00:01:38.000Give us a highlight of what's going to happen.
00:01:40.000Then I've got to talk to you about the revelations overnight on the FBI's involvement in Twitter and the silent coup of the FBI and DOJ and taking out Donald J. Trump.
00:03:47.000And anybody that went to CPAC and saw our live show or the shows in New Mexico or the shows in in Arizona that we've done in California know that know that it's a it's totally different experience.
00:04:36.000Russia, Jack, announced a announced this partnership.
00:04:41.000They're working on a military partnership with Persia, with Iran.
00:04:45.000The CCP just got just left the Middle East, just left the Gulf, the Saudi Arabia.
00:04:51.000They already have a 40 year output deal with Iran for oil.
00:04:54.000They're cutting a 40 year deal with Saudi Arabia.
00:04:57.000Big story we've got up on Getter right now about how Russia, Iran, China are working nonstop to take the dollar down as the world's reserve currency.
00:05:07.000They're going to make all these old deals, you know, convertible into some sort of basket of their currencies.
00:05:12.000Give us your as a naval intelligence officer.
00:05:14.000Give us your thoughts about what Biden regime has done from Brazil to to Peru throughout the Caribbean.
00:05:21.000Now into the Eurasian landmass to put us to jam us up, sir.
00:05:25.000Well, Steve, what we're seeing here is a confluence of the Meersheimer warning along with Mackinder's world island theory.
00:05:34.000And this is what they're both working together.
00:05:37.000If you look at it from the CCP perspective, as well as the Russian perspective and Meersheimer's warning just two weeks ago now that the United States is escalating a global conflict on two fronts.
00:05:50.000He says there are three great powers in the world now, the United States, there's Russia and there's China.
00:05:56.000Obviously, Russia with their nuclear arsenal, China with their military might and their army, which we have been funding through our financial deals and our finance, our our elite economic coupling and the joint merger, the elite merger at the highest level of one percent.
00:06:12.000Our great reset meets their CCP, the China model.
00:06:16.000And so what we have done is we've driven every anti-American, every or I should say non-American entity into a force together against us by trying to poke them and prod them and instigate them in every which way.
00:06:32.000So, of course, you're going to have Iran working with Russia.
00:06:35.000They're building they're building and supplying the drones Iran at this point, by the way, Steve.
00:06:39.000They're talking about building manufacturing centers in Russia to build the drones that are going into Ukraine.
00:06:45.800Meanwhile, Erdogan and the Turks are building the drones they're fighting for on the Ukrainian side, the Bayraktar drones.
00:06:53.220And so those are going up to there, this entire thing.
00:06:55.380And, of course, Victor Booth, he's coming out on, you know, and all of this saying, we're great.
00:06:59.140Where can I get a bite? You know, where can I get a little taste of it?
00:07:01.620And he's going to Afghanistan. Of course, he's going to pick up all the material that we left back there.
00:07:05.620We don't have any politician in the United States that is standing up right now saying we need to deescalate.
00:07:13.840We need to pump the brakes. We need to slam on the brakes because our government has turned into a runaway train, a runaway train down the mountain.
00:07:23.360And there's no one in the country except maybe one man, maybe one man who has stood up and said, we need to seek peace.
00:07:31.840We need to seek deterrence, not trust, but we need rapprochement.
00:07:35.800We do not need a two front global conflict.
00:07:39.500And, of course, this chairman Xi Jinping goes over with full military escort, full People's Liberation Army Air Force escort to Saudi Arabia.
00:07:48.160Of course, he does all of this. He's throwing it in our faces, and we need to understand that the CCP is underwriting all of this.
00:07:55.260And that is why, after Christmas, we've been recording, Steve, a series, a four-part series, the entire history of the CCP and the entire biography of Xi Jinping that will be released the week after Christmas
00:08:10.200because people need to understand who these individuals are.
00:08:13.960They need to understand this transnational cartel.
00:08:15.960We talk about the CCP, but we're going to go back all the way to the 1920s.
00:08:19.660We're going to go all the way back to Xi Jinping.
00:09:41.840I want to go back to the Twitter file, but I want to connect some dots.
00:09:45.680The CIA refuses, essentially refuses to release 25%, I think, of the documents on the Kennedy file, claiming sources and methods about their involvement with Oswald, particularly in Mexico and in Cuba.
00:10:02.840They've taken out the Praetorian Guard of the CIA, FBI, have taken out three presidents in 60 years.
00:10:09.540Let's just be blunt about what we've allowed the administrative state and their rogue element, the deep state, to do.
00:10:15.360They took out Kennedy, they took out Nixon, and they took out Trump.
00:10:19.260Jack Posobiec, talk to me about the Trump part of it, as now released, as blockbuster releases of Matt Taibbi over at working with Elon Musk at Twitter.
00:10:30.420Well, look, RFK Jr. said, I think, last night that these files show, the JFK files show, that the CIA murdered my uncle.
00:10:44.540And you can take everything about the vaccines aside, but obviously this is a man whose own father was assassinated, whose uncle was assassinated, who was closer to this than any story he's lived with his entire life.
00:10:56.040And he's unequivocally stated that this was a CIA operation to take out my uncle.
00:11:00.420And then he goes a step further, and this is what people need to understand.
00:11:03.940He said they fundamentally changed our government that day.
00:11:08.240They fundamentally changed the way our government works.
00:11:10.980And what he's saying there is that any president who gets in power, sure, maybe you get voted, maybe you get into an electoral college, fine.
00:11:18.300But once you get in office, you get sat down, and there is a briefing.
00:11:22.320The agency comes by, and everyone comes by, and they say, this is the way the world works.
00:11:26.920And here's the limited range of options that we are going to give you to work within.
00:11:33.260And if you talk about turning down one of these wars, if you talk about changing back one of these things, and by the way, that is the essential thread that goes to remember.
00:11:43.700Nixon, before Kissinger gets in, Nixon ran on an anti-war platform prior to Kissinger.
00:11:49.240Then Trump gets in, first president in modern history to not get us into a modern war.
00:12:12.900He turns off Operation Timber Sycamore.
00:12:14.980This is the arms running that was going from Benghazi into Libya, or excuse me, into Syria for the quote-unquote, remember the beautiful phrase, Steve, the moderate jihadis.
00:12:30.620By the way, the same group of people that was going over and funding, quote-unquote, the rebels in Ukraine, 2014.
00:12:37.240So you have this cabal out there, and Trump is one of the people that comes up against it.
00:12:42.100So what do you see in the Twitter files?
00:12:43.600You see exactly what you'd expect to see, 80 FBI agents, Steve, 80 FBI agents that come up and are told, going to Twitter, that they need to censor this.
00:12:54.960RSBN, the great network over there, is specifically targeted by the FBI for censorship.
00:13:01.720And last week, a week ago today, when I gave that speech in New York City, and I declared that Yoel Roth, the head of Twitter Trust and Safety, the Ministry of Trust and Safety, was an intelligence asset, and the entire media freaked out.
00:13:15.660All the left-wing Twitterati freaked out.
00:18:44.980I want to go to the managing editor of Red State, wrote a blockbuster expose, I guess you would call it the other day, Jennifer Van Laar.
00:18:51.940And Jennifer is going to be at AmFest, I want to announce, and she will be a guest on the show either sometime Monday or Tuesday.
00:18:59.100We'll make sure that we track her down.
00:19:01.620Jennifer, you've put out another, and let me know, the crack production team, when we have the clip, because I want to make sure, you know, I got lit up yesterday, not just by our audience, and that's fine.
00:19:48.160She was in the White House for President Trump, and they gave it, and we're polite.
00:19:51.840We asked tough questions like we asked of you the other day, and we let Ronna, and Ronna, and now Mediite saying Ronna committed to do a debate with Harmeet and Mike Lindell to the one.
00:20:12.620If Mediite saying it, hey, I'm all good.
00:20:14.180I didn't quite hear it that way, but when you play it again and you see it typed up, maybe, but it gets back to what Ronna said, and she had, you know, Susie Wiles has done a fantastic job.
00:20:30.920You remember we replaced the person that was there with Susie, did a fantastic job.
00:20:38.880Susie's now essentially chief of staff, I guess you'd call her.
00:20:41.600She put out a statement, but your article, and I just want to make sure we have categorization, because Ronna, if we can get that, just let me know when it's, you heard what I heard.
00:20:52.680She came out and said, hey, look, there's been a misunderstanding, right?
00:20:57.420The contextualized has been misunderstanding, and that misunderstanding is that the jets, the limos, and particularly the tchotchkes, right?
00:21:06.340The $17 million for the donors, that's all basically supporting Trump and the Trump White House, and very specifically, the $17 million was to pay for 13 Christmas parties per year for four years, plus three Hanukkah parties.
00:21:23.940And in addition, the congressional, you know, picnic, the Easter egg roll, and other sort of things related to the White House that the government can't pay for.
00:21:37.280Now, your article today takes, you don't agree with that, and I want to make sure you have time to lay out, because you're the person that's gone through the numbers.
00:21:59.640For donor mementos, they paid $2 million to various federal government entities, like the White House Historical Association, the White House Gift Shop, the Executive Office of the President, that kind of thing.
00:22:15.180They also paid $1.6 million, or $1.675,000 in event production.
00:22:21.740So, that's not even, that was not included in the $17 million, because event production is a different category.
00:22:27.880Then they also paid $3.447 million for event production slash staging.
00:22:33.840I don't know what the difference between those two are.
00:22:36.020They seem to have a lot of categories.
00:22:37.760So, that's $4 million, $5 million that they've spent for event production.
00:22:45.280That could be what she's referring to with the Christmas parties, the Hanukkah parties, and that kind of thing.
00:22:49.980But that is not included in the $17 million.
00:23:00.320No, I just want to make sure we can keep this clear.
00:23:02.380So, what you just announced, what went to the Park Service, or went to the government entities, what went to the production staging, whatever you call it, all that aggregates up to over $5 million, correct?
00:23:25.940Big shout out for Red State, for the managing editor.
00:23:28.000Normally, managing editors, people should know, are kind of, you know, yelling at people for not, their reporters for not having it, right?
00:23:37.040You're saying that those are charges that are there on the FEC reports, but what you're saying, that is not included in the $17 million, correct?
00:23:46.920That is, those are side pockets or other categorizations, ma'am?
00:23:51.480That's other categorizations of event planning and staging.
00:23:54.460So, why would she say, did the staff not brief her properly?
00:24:00.100Because you're saying, essentially, she was wrong, in so many words, right?
00:24:05.180That's what the records I'm looking at say.
00:24:07.500I hate ever, like, saying that someone, you know, went out and intentionally said something that's not correct.
00:24:14.780But according to the records that I'm looking at, that's a separate item, and that is not within the $17 million.
00:24:20.400But the $2 million to the White House gift shop, that kind of thing, that was included in my 17, 17.1 calculation.
00:24:29.000So, even if you take that out, that's still $15 million.
00:24:32.940So, she's correct in that the RNC does have, it looks like, support for President Trump's White House, whether these parties, events, whatever.
00:25:06.160And I had said on Twitter yesterday, there's about $500,000 in other donor memento expenses, one to an Anne Hand company, which she's a jeweler that makes these pins that they give away as commemorative pins, and then Beacon Designs that does the White House Christmas ornament.
00:25:24.440So, they maybe do other Christmas ornaments, too.
00:25:27.560So, there were some expenditures there that total of about $500,000.
00:25:31.840So, that could have been at Trump's direction, too.
00:25:37.780The reason this is important, and I'm not trying to nitpick, right, because you said that they've raised $1.5 billion, there is this issue of transparency, this issue of communication with people, this issue of not simply the 168, but the little guys that are a big bulk.
00:25:55.360Remember, the donors and the big donors do put in a lot of money, but still the bulk of this stuff, particularly the Trump stuff, and that joint venture with Trump, is the little guys.
00:26:04.080This audience hit them with $50, right?
00:26:06.600Or like my dad used to, you know, hit them with $100, right?
00:26:12.240And these numbers aren't big on a relative basis for the money raised, but on an absolute basis, obviously, it's gotten people's attention.
00:27:13.880Because there was a bomb in front of our building on January 6th, which a lot of people forget.
00:27:17.640But that was the first thing that happened that day was a bomb right outside the RNC, which, by the way, they've never caught the perpetrator of that.
00:27:25.180Yeah, I'm going to make sure my staff's secure.
00:28:08.600Well, I mean, hopefully we're not at war.
00:28:10.140I mean, we don't want to be at war with the RNC.
00:28:12.160We want to have things working well and we want Republicans being elected.
00:28:16.700And so, no, I did not go back to them because I was actually replying to emails that she and Glenn McCall sent to the 168 and got leaked to everyone in the media.
00:28:26.700I'm sure you've seen both of the emails, too.
00:28:29.040And so I felt like I needed to respond to that.
00:28:31.500And so I don't think that requires any contact.
00:29:15.300What about the $3 million for the jets?
00:29:17.440Is that – is there another category for what they put in for Air Force One?
00:29:22.520So what I did was I went through their travel expenses.
00:29:25.640They have them categorized both as transportation, services, and travel expenses.
00:29:31.260And I only counted up the ones that were not things that, like, paying the government for flights.
00:29:38.020So they did pay over $2 million over Ronna McDaniel's tenure to federal government agencies for travel expenses.
00:29:46.020But the $3.1 million that I calculated were to private jet charter services, like NetJet, like exclusive charter services, that kind of thing.
00:30:26.780That's not a – that's not – and maybe she comes back and says, hey, I'm sure they're going to come back and say,
00:30:32.280Jennifer has no earthly idea what she's talking about.
00:30:36.160But as you laid it out today, it's a new Red State piece.
00:30:40.060You're saying, yes, she did – they did – RNC did support both the White House parties, these things, and they supported them on the flights.
00:30:49.140But those were in different buckets, and you didn't include that.
00:30:52.540So the 3.1 in the 17 – why is this a big deal, do you believe?
00:30:58.100Because Red State is probably as grassroots as you can get.
00:31:02.280Why do you think this is important for the people that are not in the 168?
00:31:07.180That the people that actually – of the 1.5 billion, I'll guarantee you half of that or more came from the little guy.
00:31:23.660And, you know, I'm not in Washington either.
00:31:25.460And I've been doing grassroots work in this party for over 20 years, both in North Carolina, back on the Dole for Senate campaign, and here in California,
00:31:34.460was one of the very underpaid people that got Steve Knight elected to Congress in 2014, despite being outspent 4 to 1.
00:31:41.960And so I resent any characterization she has about grassroots work and that.
00:31:47.480And Red State's readers are grassroots.
00:31:50.720I received an email from one woman this morning, Marcia, and she's in her 60s.
00:31:56.820A stock clerk in the grocery store makes $20 an hour.
00:31:59.640And she thanked me for this work because she wants there to be stewardship over this money she worked very hard for and still sends money to Republican candidates.
00:32:09.680And a lot of the people that read Red State hugely support President Trump.
00:32:14.180They sent in lots of money after the 2020 election.
00:32:17.360And we did a huge series on how they could not have won honestly, how the Biden administration could not have won honestly, going precinct by precinct, pointing out all of the problems and just the statistical anomalies.
00:32:31.640And so these people gave to the RNC, believing they were going to fight for Trump, and then to have it spent at West Elm and Pottery Barn instead of going to something that really can help.
00:32:42.500Like, we're in a battle for this country, for its existence and survival.
00:32:51.380Do you think – I know you've got to go.
00:32:53.120You're going to AmFest, and Jennifer is going to join us in studio at AmFest on Monday.
00:32:58.280Jennifer, do you think that given the size of money that was raised and the types of resources they had to put to work, do you believe you're nitpicking them?
00:33:06.120Do you think that this is – you're getting into micro details that are an overall grand picture and not important?
00:33:12.500Or do you believe that this work had to be done and it's got to be not just accounted for, but it's got to be defended?
00:33:18.100I believe that it's crucial work, and I believe there's probably a lot more waste because I've been able to really go through all 140,000 transactions with a fine-toothed comb.
00:33:28.720But it's over $6 million of waste that I identified in the first piece.
00:33:33.160And one national committee person told me, we sent California so much money this cycle.
00:33:40.160So if it's a lot of money to be able to – that's what you send to an entire state, then, yeah, we need to be not – it's not nitpicky to bring up if it's being wasted.
00:33:50.220Jennifer, if we could get somebody from the RNC maybe in studio on Monday or maybe when we get back sometime next week, would you be open to – I asked this question to Rana about Harmeet and Lindell.
00:34:04.000But if we could get a financial person on and do the show and go through this stuff and they could pick out where you're wrong and you could pick out where they're hiding stuff, in your opinion, would you be open to that?
00:34:14.380Yeah, I want them to give me the information before we go on so I can review it.
00:34:54.900And by the way, Breitbart, the great Matt Boyle, and Matt had – Tucker was his mentor, Andrew was his mentor, and I was his mentor.
00:35:04.860He is, I think, the single best reporter, at least conservative reporter, I think top two or three in all of D.C.
00:35:14.260He's got an incredible interview with President Trump that only a guy like Matt Boyle can do.
00:35:23.420And I've got it up on my Getter account.
00:35:27.120Whatever, you should go to Breitbart and read it.
00:35:29.140President Trump comes out and endorses McCarthy.
00:35:31.220So, you know, some things you've got to live with, some things you can put your two cents in and say, hey, maybe we let this thing play out.
00:35:39.100But President Trump makes it pretty straightforward.
00:35:42.540And I think this gives substance to the New York Times article that came out earlier in the week said he was whipping for McCarthy.
00:35:48.300But I want everybody to read that and to chew on it and come to your own assessment.
00:35:52.700But I've got it up on – I've got it up on Getter, but you can go right to the Breitbart site under Matt Boyle.
00:35:57.600I think it's up at the top of their page.
00:35:59.680I've got Rebecca Koffler and Ben Harnwell.
00:36:03.660In your life, for the audience and for the direction of the country, this whole situation of getting sucked in – because this is like – this is starting to feel like the 1930s.
00:36:15.760And what I mean by the 1930s, you're going to have a number of governments and leaders that in hindsight and in the long view of history made every bad decision they could possibly make that eventually the world got sucked into a large kinetic conflict, the Second World War, given all the horror that they saw in the First World War.
00:36:38.820But the Second World War is different.
00:36:42.180It's like you're inexorably drawn to this massive conflict.
00:36:51.980And you can see what's happening is because the ruling elites of our country in coordination with the ruling elites of Europe and Brussels and the City of London and the World Economic Forum are making one horrible decision after the other.
00:37:13.760And we are on a world stage against very smart, very tough, very dangerous people.
00:37:21.040The people in Tehran are smart, tough, and dangerous.
00:37:24.940Don't think – these people dismiss our enemies as stupid or they are not.
00:37:29.360These guys are going to the top universities.
00:37:31.120It's like they are tough and they're smart.
00:37:34.020At the KGB in Moscow, they're tough and they're smart.
00:37:37.520In Beijing, they don't come any tougher and any smarter.
00:37:40.260However, we have world-class enemies, and those world-class enemies are making massive moves right now.
00:37:47.440And you have a feckless and hapless regime in charge here in Washington, D.C. that's all about escalation for some unknown reason.
00:37:58.640And they're having moves made on this.
00:38:01.140There's an announcement today I want to bring in Rebecca Koffler.
00:38:03.500Rebecca, you've got a story we'll get into maybe on Monday or Tuesday why the CIA is not going to assassinate Putin.
00:38:10.840They're too busy plotting assassination.
00:38:13.220Oh, that's a topic for another day from Kennedy to Nixon to Trump.
00:38:19.120But I've got to ask you about Putin in Iran because you're seeing the moves that China is making with Iran.
00:38:24.980You're seeing the moves China is making in the Gulf.
00:38:26.780Walk me through the importance for the United States of America of a Putin, KGB, Moscow, Tehran, Mullahs, hardwired military alliance, ma'am.
00:38:41.620This strategic partnership between Moscow and Tehran presents a strategic threat to the United States.
00:38:50.540And unfortunately, our Washington establishment, quote-unquote experts, are pursuing a nonsensical and even schizophrenic policy.
00:39:02.760They're right now all focused on Ukraine, right?
00:39:06.160And we're pumping in billions of dollars into Ukraine.
00:39:12.320We have provided now over 50% of Ukraine's GDP, okay, about $100 billion.
00:39:24.780And comparatively, in 20 years, we provided in Afghanistan $2.2 trillion.
00:39:33.920So we're already in 10 months provided more than we provided in 10 years in Afghanistan.
00:39:38.900And more people are killed right now, the Ukrainians, about 140,000, right?
00:39:47.980And comparatively, in Afghanistan, 6,000 Americans were killed.
00:39:53.420But instead of focusing on the strategic picture, which is the threat that presented to the United States by the Iran-Moscow partnership,
00:40:06.080they're focused on Ukraine and are worried about how many drones, how many ballistic missiles could Iran provide to Ukraine.
00:40:14.840Well, what we should be worried about, the nuclear know-how provided by Russia, which has the world's largest nuclear arsenal and the most robust and in-depth know-how in the world.
00:46:50.460What's the current strategic assessment of Ukraine-Russia?
00:46:53.380There's no amount of money, either American or European, that's going to defeat Putin.
00:47:01.560Unfortunately, Steve, the Biden administration has decided to use Ukrainians as cannon fodder to defeat Putin.
00:47:12.920You know, 140,000 Ukrainians are either dead or injured.
00:47:18.180And this war is going to continue on and on.
00:47:21.580We are on the escalatory path because Putin is not going to give up control of Ukraine because it's his version of the Monroe Doctrine.
00:47:32.000And so we would be doing the same and we would be using everything, including nuclear weapons, to prevent China, Russia or Iran to encroach upon our territory.
00:47:42.540And so, unfortunately, the Biden administration is pursuing a schizophrenic policy.
00:47:48.960On the one hand, General Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, has stated about three to four weeks ago that the military path to Ukrainian victory is unachievable.
00:48:01.920On the other hand, they're continuing pumping in money and they're continuing lying to the American people that they are protecting democracy in Ukraine.
00:48:11.540It's a complete nonsense because President Zelensky is just like Putin.
00:48:43.540We've got our own Natalie Winters who's going to join us.
00:48:47.860Also, Jeff Shepard about the judiciary removing presidents from office.
