00:05:29.900 And spontaneous worship is outside because the campuses have now issued a calendar, a schedule for today.
00:05:38.660 Doors are excited to open at noon.
00:05:41.800 But that's not stopping people from continuing their Bible praise.
00:05:46.500 And Steve, just to be clear, all this is beautiful and just wonderful what the Holy Spirit is doing.
00:05:52.760 But let's make it the main thing.
00:05:54.780 This is all about Jesus Christ.
00:05:56.940 There are no celebrities in this place, no celebrities are being recognized, even if they come in.
00:06:02.460 The only person that is being honored and praised and adored is our Savior Jesus Christ.
00:06:10.920 What is – have they gone now, this Ashbury Revival, have they gone to some sort of schedule because they're afraid of controlling it or because it was 24 hours?
00:06:22.900 And I realize it's breaking out spontaneous around campus.
00:06:25.720 But are they actually closing up the main worship center at 3 a.m. to make sure they have some order and clean it up?
00:06:34.400 Or what's the reason for actually having a break in this, at least in the main hall?
00:06:40.600 We understand things spontaneously go and a continuous change around.
00:06:44.300 Why is the university doing that?
00:06:46.020 The university, Steve, more can we find out is they're cleaning up from the services from the day of and are giving some students some rest that are needed because students are staying here just out of their willingness to continue to worship.
00:07:04.180 They want the students to continue to take care of themselves, be prepared for the revival that's continuing to go on, and being mindful of their own health and well-being as students.
00:07:16.000 Because this is all student-led, and the faculty and staff are doing a great job in supporting these students, but especially they have to protect them with order and success for the revival.
00:07:29.020 When you look at the footage that you're coming up with and other people coming up with, it almost reminds people of what you assume if you read and study it, what first-century Christians, what the worship was.
00:07:43.140 Walk us through what actually happens during these – I guess it's not even a service.
00:07:48.660 It's just an ongoing process.
00:07:50.240 What are these – what's the revival like?
00:07:52.800 What's the inner dynamics, and how does it roll out when you're actually in there?
00:07:58.360 Steve, there are no – there's not enough words to explain the presence of God, the Holy Spirit.
00:08:06.320 It is – you can't say it's a – this is what we're going to do next.
00:08:14.580 It is spontaneous.
00:08:15.340 People – so we have moments of worship, testimony, sharing of the word, Bible verses, some scripture, and short kind of mini-sermons, Steve, that will impact people's hearts and minds.
00:08:31.340 People are being changed, and people are being impacted by the messages coming – going forth from this place.
00:08:37.760 It's spectacular.
00:08:38.980 People are on their knees, weeping, crying, repenting to God for their sins, and asking for more of the Holy Spirit, more of his work in their lives in this campus and throughout America.
00:08:52.060 We are praying for the healing of this nation, Steve, and it's right here.
00:08:55.540 This is a – this is interesting because this is – we're in the spiritual war, Steve.
00:09:00.880 This is how we come back, the Leviathan of the demonic forces in Hollywood, in the media, in everyday life, and how they are attacking us, Steve.
00:09:11.180 This is where it starts.
00:09:12.280 This starts in our hearts, giving and focusing on the Lord and asking him to invade our lives and going forth outside, and we're going to fight this, Steve.
00:09:23.780 We're going to go forth in prayer and worship, and we're going to take our country back, Steve.
00:09:28.040 It's going to be spectacular for the move of God is doing in this nation.
00:09:32.500 This is the battleground headquarters, Steve, of the revival.
00:09:38.080 It's going to be incredible.
00:09:39.860 I can't wait to see what God is going to do in other campuses, and we're wanting to go follow wherever this revival is heading.
00:09:46.180 We want to follow the move of God, Steve.
00:09:48.920 It's going to be powerful.
00:09:51.560 This army of saints is ignited for the Lord, and I'm so excited to be sharing this with you.
00:09:58.040 When you talk about Army of the Awakened, are other students still coming in or other young people still coming in from other locations, and are people coming in from overseas?
00:10:10.500 Yes, Steve.
00:10:11.260 There's so many people.
00:10:13.920 Let me tell you, the line out here is what heaven looks like, Steve.
00:10:19.080 It's not just Americans.
00:10:20.980 It's not just African-Americans.
00:10:22.580 It's not just Indians, Asians.
00:10:24.040 It is everyone coming in one accord in every tribe and nation, every color.
00:10:30.480 It's a crowd and a revival that looks like heaven, Steve.
00:10:34.240 That's what the gospel message is about.
00:10:37.000 It's right.
00:10:37.300 Jesus Christ coming to save the sick and the lost, and the move of God is so powerful, Steve.
00:10:44.140 Jesus Christ is alive and well.
00:10:46.480 He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:10:48.160 He is coming to heal, save, and deliver all these people, Steve.
00:10:52.440 It's going to be incredible.
00:10:53.640 We're going to see people.
00:10:54.460 I believe, I know we're going to see people come to the repentance of Jesus Christ through this powerful move of God.
00:11:02.300 Are there many conversions, or are most of these young people that are there?
00:11:10.360 I know the university is a Christian university, but even most of the people coming, are they already fairly dedicated Christians?
00:11:17.380 Are you getting people that are secular or agnostic or not followers of Jesus Christ?
00:11:23.360 Are people starting to come from outside the orbit of the already committed Christians?
00:11:28.340 Yes, there are people coming outside the faith, Steve.
00:11:32.940 It's incredible to see people who are just, from our friends, inner friend circle and families, people are asking, them asking us, hey, can we come too?
00:11:44.960 Can we also come see what's happening?
00:11:47.200 Because they're so encouraged by this.
00:11:49.220 This is the hope that people need, Steve.
00:11:51.180 This is the move of God people are earning for.
00:11:54.240 This is the touch of Jesus Christ people need, Steve.
00:11:57.460 This is what's happening.
00:11:59.740 It's people who are not just Christians, but it's also unbelievers who are just, are being called out by God.
00:12:06.500 Hey, come near me.
00:12:07.900 Come, he's drawing them to his side, Steve.
00:12:11.440 Jesus is drawing unbelievers all over the world to come to this place and worship him and accept him as their savior.
00:12:18.900 Are the young people there aware of how this is juxtaposed to Sam Smith's performance at the Grammys or the performance of halftime of the Super Bowl?
00:12:31.500 Well, how that compares and contrasts to that, the difference in the purity of this versus the demonic nature of that.
00:12:37.060 Yeah.
00:12:38.460 Steve, as the darkness continues to overcome secularism, media and entertainment, Steve, let me tell you, the light that's burning right now, Steve, is outshining the darkness.
00:12:54.840 No demonic force can stop us, Steve.
00:12:57.880 This is the light of the Lord, light of God.
00:13:00.880 It's ignited in each person.
00:13:02.420 This is the revival fire, Steve.
00:13:04.300 When in Acts, when you hear about when the Holy Spirit hit the upper room and people's heads were ignited with the flame, this is the flame, Steve.
00:13:14.340 People are being ignited by the Holy Spirit.
00:13:16.380 It's amazing.
00:13:16.740 Noah, can you give your social media?
00:13:21.460 We're going to check back with you during the rest of the show.
00:13:23.560 Can you give your social media right now?
00:13:25.740 Yes, sir.
00:13:26.200 I'm on all social media, Twitter and Instagram, at Noah Benjamin.
00:13:35.580 Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky, the Asbury Revival.
00:13:39.700 Noah Benjamin from Real American Voice in the war room right there.
00:13:43.340 Noah, fantastic.
00:13:44.220 We'll check back with you a little later.
00:13:45.720 Thank you so much, Steve.
00:13:47.320 Thank you.
00:13:51.700 Okay, we're going to out music right now with this amazing revival.
00:13:57.380 We're going to come back.
00:13:58.620 We're going to go to Ohio.
00:14:01.460 We're going to talk about East Palestine.
00:14:04.540 The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, has announced that he will be there on Wednesday.
00:14:09.840 This is the revival.
00:14:10.860 We're going to be back in the war room in just a moment.
00:14:16.740 What about the name it is?
00:14:41.960 The name of Jesus Christ, our King.
00:14:49.160 What a powerful name it is.
00:14:52.960 Nothing can stand against.
00:14:55.900 What a powerful name it is.
00:14:59.220 Your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:15:01.200 The name of Jesus Christ, our King.
00:15:31.200 And the darkness is always light, right?
00:15:36.020 Remember, there's a season for everything.
00:15:41.020 And when you come to the war room, you're in the fight club.
00:15:44.660 But we're fighting for something obviously bigger.
00:15:48.180 And what those kids, what's happening out in Asbury University out in Kentucky is quite extraordinary.
00:15:54.920 Something big happening there.
00:15:56.220 We always got to make sure we're anchored in the light.
00:15:59.380 Although, you know, when you fight darkness enough, yeah, you know, you tend to get a little dark, right?
00:16:05.100 But we're going to keep pounding.
00:16:06.420 By the way, Mike Lindell, there's also amazing spirit out in Michigan today.
00:16:11.620 Big vote in the GOP out there.
00:16:13.040 Mike Lindell is going to join us at 11.
00:16:14.420 The grassroots is on fire throughout the country every day.
00:16:16.980 I talked to people about the precinct strategy, how they're taking precinct seats, taking state GOPs, all of it.
00:16:22.840 A much tougher and bigger fight right now in East Palestine, Ohio.
00:16:30.340 Leahy and Jeff Clark.
00:16:32.480 Leahy, I want to start with you.
00:16:33.540 Jeff, I'm going to get to you in just one second.
00:16:34.860 The reason this is big is for two things.
00:16:38.920 Number one, for the deplorables and what's actually happening to their lives.
00:16:44.600 But this speaks to bigger themes and bigger events that are going on and what this really means.
00:16:51.320 I think two things have happened.
00:16:52.640 And if you've watched this show or followed us for years at Breitbart and Breitbart Radio and, you know, the Sirius XM and the Breitbart site, you know, we're populist and nationalists and, you know, leaders of the anti-CCP movement and so much that goes on here, you know, economic nationalism.
00:17:10.960 But there are things that pop up and they can break through the white noise of kind of modern culture and they kind of epitomize.
00:17:22.200 And then you have a lot of people just asking questions.
00:17:24.980 One of that is the spy airship over the great state of Montana, right, where the Billings Gazette, you know, took the photograph.
00:17:33.180 And now we're having a real conversation.
00:17:35.260 More of the nation's being pulled in and seeing the lines of misrepresentations and exactly what's going on.
00:17:40.440 The other is this entire situation in East Palestine.
00:17:45.000 And one thing I want to say is that the people that have been in this drama, if you think about it for a second, you know, the betters and the ruling class and the $54 billion railroad and, you know,
00:17:59.700 the CEOs, you know, all trained at Harvard Business School and Stanford Business School and, you know, all the consultants and the media and the EPA and the climate change and all of it.
00:18:10.020 The people that comported themselves with the most dignity and honesty and not looking for a handout, just want to be dealt with straight, are the citizens, are the deplorables of East Palestine. 1.00
00:18:25.440 And that, what's happening in Kentucky and what's happening in East Palestine is the reason we're going to win, right? 1.00
00:18:37.060 We're lined up on the right side.
00:18:38.800 We have the right players on our side of the football.
00:18:41.320 Now, all the money, all the capital, all the education, all the, you know, the universities, all the think tanks, all the government agencies, the administrative state, and not just that, the worms and the spineless amoebas in the traditional Republican Party.
00:19:02.580 It's all there in high relief.
00:19:04.480 It's almost like you scripted this, right?
00:19:06.940 It's almost like you scripted it, and you see their lies, you see the way they run away from things, and you've got some great characters here.
00:19:13.520 You've got Pete Buttigieg, who's kind of the epitome of the modern, how do I say this, just the empty suit.
00:19:23.020 Leahy, you and I saw enough of those guys at business school.
00:19:26.560 You see them, and then you're a classic McKinsey consultant, right?
00:19:29.520 It's just like Macron, just a complete nothing burger, right?
00:19:33.920 Michael Patrick Leahy, once again, you're on top of things.
00:19:39.560 First off, Trump announces yesterday, as we were talking on the show, Trump's got to go.
00:19:42.660 He goes.
00:19:43.740 He announces.
00:19:45.280 FEMA comes out momentarily a few minutes after that.
00:19:47.860 They announced that they're now going to get on the program.
00:19:49.960 After getting on DeWine, DeWine's sitting there going, well, I asked him.
00:19:53.480 I asked him nicely, and they said, gosh, if it's not a hurricane or tornado, right?
00:19:59.060 He had Mike DeWine whining, as he always does.
00:20:02.140 Trump announces, next thing you know, FEMA.
00:20:03.880 Now, it's not perfect, but you know they're petrified.
00:20:06.300 That's why they announced, oh, yeah, we're going out there, too.
00:20:08.960 But the most important story you broke, sir, and this you can't make up.
00:20:14.260 I told Leahy this morning, if you went into Hollywood and pitched this, they'd throw you out of the room.
00:20:17.980 Please tell me, now that you've, through your reporting, and you're exclusive yesterday with the comms director and spokesman for the governor of Ohio, who, you know, didn't disagree with the fact that DeWine didn't have authority and didn't really make the decision, although he, quote, unquote, agreed with it, and the railroad executed it.
00:20:38.620 He did not disagree with your reporting that's shown with the help of Jeffrey Clark that kind of pointed us in the right direction.
00:20:45.120 It's the EPA's decision.
00:20:47.300 Didn't disagree that the EPA actually made the decision.
00:20:51.240 Now you've broken another bombshell today.
00:20:53.460 If Denver, I know if we can get it up on the screen.
00:20:56.000 Talk to me about you.
00:20:57.180 I assume since President Trump's going out in the next couple of days to East Palestine that the Biden administration, what they've told the head of the EPA, he should get out of the studio of Morning Joe.
00:21:08.860 You don't need to do Morning Joe anymore.
00:21:10.880 What you need to do is take an Airbnb on Main Street right next to where the train derailed.
00:21:18.220 Take the first Airbnb you can have, and you're going to camp out there until this thing's sorted for a month or two.
00:21:24.240 So he sent the head of the EPA to East Palestine this weekend, sir.
00:21:30.340 Is that correct, and that's what you're reporting in the Ohio Star?
00:21:34.700 Well, the head of EPA, Michael Regan, who's not returning our calls to give us any information about what the on-site EPA coordinator decided during the controlled burn on February 6th.
00:21:46.560 He was up there, I think on Thursday, for a couple hours and then scooted out of town.
00:21:50.540 We can report our story at the Star News Network that Michael Regan, as we speak, is on a plane to Africa, the EPA administrator.
00:22:02.120 Perhaps this might explain why he hasn't answered any of our questions.
00:22:06.280 He's on a plane to Africa, as we speak, and he's going to do apparently a seven-day climate change tour.
00:22:14.000 However, he's going to be accompanied by the English actor Idris Elba and his model wife.
00:22:24.660 That story actually was first reported by April Ryan at the Griot, who's a far-left journalist,
00:22:31.420 and was brought to our attention, Steve, by a member of the posse who has been watching me report here with you on what's going on there.
00:22:42.500 We've also confirmed that with a source familiar with Regan's travel schedule that said the agency has paid more than $6,000 for his travel to Africa this week.
00:22:52.660 Hold it, hold it, hang on, hang on.
00:22:55.720 I want to thank the war and posse.
00:22:57.040 This is the power of the show, folks.
00:22:58.520 It's your engagement.
00:22:59.360 Remember, you're the head of the creditors committee.
00:23:01.620 So the member of the posse gave you heads up.
00:23:03.920 By the way, April Ryan, she's tough. 0.96
00:23:06.540 She's a lefty, but she's a good reporter. 0.97
00:23:08.160 So she reported on the Griot that Regan's going to – hold it, hang on.
00:23:15.220 The head of the EPA for the United States of America, given the fiasco out in East Palestine,
00:23:22.020 you're actually telling our audience in the world that he's, in fact, wheels up and heading not to East Palestine to rent the Airbnb right next to the track
00:23:31.760 and set up a command post there to get this thing sorted?
00:23:34.860 Because Scranton Joe – I just saw the State of the Union.
00:23:38.900 Scranton Joe is all for the working people and the middle class, and he's got big crocodile tears coming down, rubbing up on them and hugging them.
00:23:46.700 He's a middle-class guy.
00:23:48.060 So his guy's got to be – that's got to be a confused report.
00:23:51.760 It's impossible, Michael Patrick Lane.
00:23:54.320 It would be impossible for the head of the EPA in the United States of America to be heading to Africa for a seven-day climate change tour, sir?
00:24:05.540 Are we sure about that?
00:24:07.680 April Ryan reported it on Thursday.
00:24:10.040 Actually, the focus of her story was about the actor, Eder's Elbow, who has – his parents are from Sierra Leone and Ghana.
00:24:18.080 His wife is a Somalian-Canadian model, and the focus of her story was these Hollywood entertainment types are making the tour in Africa along with EPA Administrator Michael Regan today, starting today, Saturday.
00:24:38.280 How do you think that's going to set with folks when they finally get – when they start thinking about, hey, first off, we have not just – we have not – you've contacted them on Tuesday.
00:24:52.420 The EPA – I want everybody to understand this, and we're going to get Clark in here in a second.
00:24:57.220 Second, Joe Biden's regime made the decision as Jeffrey Clark told us that they're the ones that had the authority, not the governor, DeWine, and now DeWine – the little heat came on.
00:25:12.480 He's admitting, hey, I agreed with it, but I couldn't make it.
00:25:15.100 I didn't have the authority.
00:25:16.600 Josh Shapiro, who's trash-talking it now, at first he was saying, yeah, I'm glad control burn looks good.
00:25:20.980 Now it's all sudden all these evil people.
00:25:22.660 Why are they putting Fosgene gas in Western – all over Western Pennsylvania, right?
00:25:28.180 Now they're all running for the hills.
00:25:29.960 The company didn't have the authority.
00:25:32.180 They were going to execute – I don't know if you should have had them execute.
00:25:34.880 I would have had the greatest experts in the world come in because the people in East Palestine, Ohio, deserve it.
00:25:41.420 You know why they deserve it?
00:25:42.840 They're the backbone of this country, okay?
00:25:45.560 They're the backbone of this nation right there.
00:25:48.120 That little town, that little village, that little hamlet, that is America right there.
00:25:53.620 That is what's seen us through every war.
00:25:55.840 That's seen us through the Depression.
00:25:57.260 Those are the people you can count on every day.
00:26:00.420 They're not going to – they're very stoic.
00:26:02.300 They're not going to complain.
00:26:03.480 They're not going to whine, right? 1.00
00:26:05.620 And this is why they're treated like trash. 0.98
00:26:07.840 This is the great divide in this nation between the ruling class, right, and the American citizens who they treat like trash while the EPA director is going with some Hollywood stars for a seven-day climate tour of Africa, right? 0.98
00:26:26.980 He's not there to help people.
00:26:29.460 When he made the decision, the EPA made the decision to control release and get those chemicals out and then burn them in a pit and let them run off into the creeks, it's Joe Biden's regime.
00:26:44.480 The buck stops there, okay?
00:26:49.140 Just like China, just like all of it. 1.00
00:26:51.860 We're going to hold them accountable for all of this next in the war room.
00:26:56.980 Host Stephen K. Banff.
00:27:02.180 Okay.
00:27:02.700 Welcome back.
00:27:03.300 We've got a lot to get to.
00:27:04.280 It's a Saturday, but it's a work day for us as it always is in the war room.
00:27:07.740 Let's go to Jeffrey Clark.
00:27:08.860 Jeff, walk me through.
00:27:09.700 Is it – does it strike you as odd, sir, given your understanding?
00:27:14.340 People should know Jeff Clark will be the new attorney general on the second Trump term.
00:27:18.920 When you were assistant attorney general for everything environmental, does it strike you as odd, sir, that first off they haven't come forward and admitted what you told – you said was actual policy.
00:27:32.560 They're the only ones who have authority to approve that.
00:27:35.120 Number two, they're not sticking around and going back out to East Palestine and getting on top of things.
00:27:41.360 They're heading to Africa for a seven-day climate change tour, sir?
00:27:46.560 Yeah, Steve.
00:27:47.560 It's ridiculous and good to be here as always to hear that Idris Elba and Mike Regan are going to get on a plane and tour Africa about a fake and overblown issue when you have an actual environmental disaster that affects American citizens.
00:28:05.640 It's not, you know, the schmoozing or hectoring tour of the Africans that they can't see their standards of living come up to the Western world's standards of living because that would be bad for the climate.
00:28:17.780 I mean, their priorities are just entirely upside down, Steve.
00:28:20.700 And, you know, I think that even though they're stoic deplorables in East Palestine, they should be very angry by this news that's broken about what the EPA administrator would prefer to do, which is just top knob around with celebrities. 0.98
00:28:35.640 You helped break this story because it allowed Leahy to get on it with the Ohio Star because nobody else covered it, okay?
00:28:43.540 I want you to go back.
00:28:44.600 Just walk us in because now you've got DeWine who kind of at first was trying to – when he's trying to be a big shot, when he thought it was going to go great, he tried to take credit for it.
00:28:53.080 Now he's backed off.
00:28:54.300 Oh, I agreed with it, but hey, what's my call?
00:28:56.540 Just walk the audience through.
00:28:58.380 Of all the different entities, why is it that the EPA has to have authority to do that?
00:29:06.580 Before I do that, Steve, as much as I love to talk about all those complicated elements of government, let me talk about what I think should happen to help the people to help because we care about the deplorables.
00:29:16.100 Perfect.
00:29:16.360 You know, in the Deepwater Horizon situation, right, the White House had BP in there, you know, so fast your head spun.
00:29:25.140 And after their meeting ended, BP came out and said, hey, we're going to create a $20 billion trust fund.
00:29:30.580 Ken Feinberg was appointed to dole the money out.
00:29:33.980 Now, here, I think for this situation, the White House should be doing something similar.
00:29:38.000 I think President Trump should be calling for something similar.
00:29:40.880 You know, two funds should be set up.
00:29:42.540 One, you know, at least $10 million for the people here to be able to get medical monitoring to see if they have any medical impacts, health impacts from this release.
00:29:53.680 And second, you know, a second fund, you know, for monitoring the environment to watch for damage, how you would restore the environment from all these fish kills and other animals that are dead.
00:30:06.800 I think those are the immediate things that if I were the Biden administration, I would get on Norfolk Southern to do.
00:30:13.320 What has Norfolk Southern done to date?
00:30:15.300 They offered $25,000, Steve, a pittance, an insult to the town, you know, for some kind of form of offset. 0.73
00:30:24.820 I mean, it's ridiculous.
00:30:26.100 So I'll pause there before I talk about the genesis of. 0.86
00:30:30.940 No, no, no, no.
00:30:31.720 Hang on.
00:30:32.100 Hang on.
00:30:32.480 Hang on.
00:30:32.880 Hang on.
00:30:33.260 How do how do we how do we effectuate that?
00:30:35.760 How can because right now we get the Republican House. 0.95
00:30:38.060 How can that your plan, what they did for the Horizon situation off of Louisiana?
00:30:43.540 People remember that.
00:30:45.840 What would be your recommendation that President Trump right now with the Republican House?
00:30:52.160 What should they be forcing?
00:30:53.640 What should be the line items, the punch list, as we call it, to make sure that the folks in East Palestine and the surrounding area and, of course, the Ohio River Valley and all of it are taken care of? 0.61
00:31:07.500 Well, I think it's those two elements, Steve, a compensation fund.
00:31:11.140 Right now, you know, probably there might be some people with acute injuries, but more likely we're talking about injuries with long latency times, you know, potential cancers that emerge a decade, 20 years from now.
00:31:23.300 And so you want to get a remedy of medical monitoring so people can regularly go into the doctor and see if, you know, anything unusual is happening with their health if they lived in the area.
00:31:33.460 And then the second thing is, you know, their environment has been devastated.
00:31:38.540 They have natural resource damages, fish kills, you know, other impacts to the environment.
00:31:44.600 A fund should be set up for that.
00:31:46.720 And those things were not—they were done by BP, but they were not ordered by the federal government right away.
00:31:53.160 But basically, they were leaned on to do it as it's the right thing to do, and things will go better with you when we start bringing enforcement actions if you agree to do this now.
00:32:01.980 And I think that's what President Trump should call on, and I think that's what President Trump would do if he were still in office, Steve.
00:32:10.300 Oh, yeah.
00:32:10.960 President Trump was in office.
00:32:12.840 He'd be all over this.
00:32:13.780 By the way, the other thing is not just Horizon.
00:32:16.540 This also kind of plays into the burn pits situation that we've just had this legislation for the veterans in the burn pits and particularly in Iraq, but it turns out all over.
00:32:26.880 So that could be another, you know, another element you put in there to check it out.
00:32:30.920 Go back and talk about the authority because I got to tell you, you know, they're all over my—Mariorkas has lawyered up with what Debovois and Plimpton, a white shoe law firm that you're paying for, the deplorables are paying for, on his impeachment.
00:32:45.100 I think Alfred E. Buttigieg is, you know, what me worry.
00:32:49.460 I think he's the next in line.
00:32:51.160 I'm hearing calls for it already, right?
00:32:53.180 An impeachment inquiry right now on this clown because he should have been there all over it and told Norfolk Southern, hey, nothing's going to happen until the EPA gets on top of this.
00:33:01.560 We're going to model this out before we touch anything.
00:33:05.220 Walk us back through the authority because it's still unclear.
00:33:08.320 Nobody's stepping up and saying, yes, we did this.
00:33:10.720 And I think we need to be precise in the days ahead about exactly what's got to happen to go back in history and find out who is actually responsible and accountable for this.
00:33:19.960 Sir.
00:33:21.560 So, Steve, I saw a CNN story today that I think it's important to bring to the attention of your viewers.
00:33:28.260 You know, in between prepping for his Idris Elba, you know, Hollywood tour of Africa on climate change, Michael Regan said two entirely contrary things, contradictory things.
00:33:39.560 One, he said that the state of Ohio has primary responsibility here, not EPA.
00:33:45.400 But then he also said we at EPA have full authority to address this.
00:33:49.960 So it's another one of these situations where they're pointing at each other and they do need to step up.
00:33:55.520 They do need to make that line of authority clear.
00:33:58.620 And if we go back to this decision to do the controlled burn, which there's still confusion swirling around.
00:34:04.660 No one will really own up to it and say, look, I'm the we're the agency or we're the authority that really pulled the trigger on that.
00:34:14.020 They keep coming back to this idea of, well, we had to burn it immediately because otherwise there would be a massive explosion and there would be shrapnel.
00:34:22.040 But, Steve, before they did the controlled burn, they evacuated the town, right?
00:34:25.840 So people wouldn't be in the immediate vicinity of the burning.
00:34:29.500 But for the same reason, they wouldn't have been in the immediate vicinity of the shrapnel.
00:34:33.700 So then start to ask the question, well, what would happen if there had been a shrapnel explosion?
00:34:38.560 Well, instead of a burn, there would have been, you know, damage to property, which Norfolk Southern clearly would have been responsible for.
00:34:48.220 So if you want to push this back into the future and, you know, have to deal with latent claims of injury that occur, you know, 10, 20 years later,
00:34:57.600 and maybe, you know, you'll have a fight about whether that was really caused by this burn or not, then you want to do the controlled burn rather than risk that there's property damage.
00:35:07.780 And I wouldn't be surprised if that was a big element of why this remedy was selected, Steve.
00:35:13.620 But, look, it's clear that whatever Michael Regan says, EPA is the agency that has principal authority here.
00:35:20.720 And we're talking about an interstate incident, right?
00:35:22.820 We're talking about Pennsylvania being affected, not just Ohio.
00:35:25.960 So we're talking about a plume that goes up over multiple states.
00:35:29.140 We're talking about interstate rail transportation of hazardous materials.
00:35:33.300 We're talking about damage to, you know, a real water of the United States like the Ohio River.
00:35:40.600 And we're talking about EPA recognizing right away that this was going to become some kind of circlist site and that Norfolk Southern was going to be responsible for it.
00:35:48.820 So EPA has all of those authorities to bring to bear and some kind of idea of like, oh, no, this is only DeWine's problem.
00:35:56.380 Is an attempt to punt and an attempt by Regan to avoid responsibility.
00:36:02.260 I just want to go on that one more time for a go back to Leahy.
00:36:04.580 He said today that he's he's now because now he's seeing the finger point.
00:36:07.800 He's saying, no, no, no, no, no.
00:36:09.520 This is DeWine.
00:36:11.400 DeWine's the one that's got the authority.
00:36:12.860 He actually used that term.
00:36:13.960 Yeah, the CNN story, it doesn't he doesn't refer to DeWine.
00:36:19.140 He says that Ohio had principal responsibility here, Steve, while at the same time saying, you know, I have authority over this is the EPA.
00:36:28.520 And, you know, I can bring all these authorities to bear on it.
00:36:32.600 I don't understand how he squares those two things.
00:36:34.900 And the CNN article doesn't try to square them either.
00:36:38.900 Jeffrey, Jeff, you were, you know, an advisor to President Trump in his administration.
00:36:44.440 This whole thing about the Water Act and you see the creek with the chemicals in it.
00:36:51.900 And it looks like the Wizard of Oz rainbow.
00:36:54.560 Right.
00:36:55.960 Aren't the guys, the EPA, like Creek Nazis? 1.00
00:36:59.600 Don't they?
00:37:00.200 On this water with the Water Act or whatever it was, they would go in farmers or go in just your backyard.
00:37:04.880 If you had a creek run into it and put you in handcuffs.
00:37:07.700 If you took water out of it and you like sprinkled it on your on your petunias in the backyard.
00:37:12.380 Now, aren't they Nazis on creeks they want to be?
00:37:17.100 And here you got here.
00:37:18.420 You could light it and it could flame up and they're not even you don't even see an EPA guy down there, sir.
00:37:25.080 It's worse than that, Steve.
00:37:26.820 You know, they they think that they have jurisdiction over things like vernal pools that are little, you know, puddle equivalents on your land out west.
00:37:35.380 They even tried for a time until the Supreme Court slapped them down to say that any body of water that a migratory bird might visit, you know, they had federal jurisdiction over as a, quote unquote, water of the United States.
00:37:48.420 But here we're dealing with a real water of the United States.
00:37:51.340 Right.
00:37:51.860 Creeks, et cetera, that feed into the Ohio River.
00:37:54.560 Also, during the Trump administration, the environmentalists fought very hard.
00:37:59.100 And in a case they call the Environmental Clean Water Act case of the century, the County of Maui case, they established that if pollution from a point source, I'll tell you more about that in a second, reaches groundwater.
00:38:12.020 That's also something EPA has jurisdiction over.
00:38:15.180 And there are clear groundwater concerns here about, you know, wells and the like.
00:38:19.360 And what is a point source, Steve?
00:38:21.200 It's a long list of things, but one of them is rolling stock.
00:38:25.160 What is rolling stock?
00:38:26.440 Trains, Steve.
00:38:27.500 So it's clear that EPA has authority over this from a Clean Water Act perspective, from a Clean Air Act perspective, and also from a CERCLA perspective.
00:38:36.320 That's the comprehensive statute that set up Superfund and cleans up damage to land. 0.97
00:38:44.160 Jeffrey, hang on a second.
00:38:45.420 Michael Patrick Leahy, I know you're already getting ready to call the Ohio governor's comms office.
00:38:51.660 How are they going to respond to Michael Regan on CNN today saying, hey, it's all, it's DeWine's responsibility, sir?
00:38:59.460 I don't know.
00:39:00.440 Let me point to this precedent, though, about calling a major disaster.
00:39:05.080 The FEMA people have been talking back and forth with the governor of Ohio.
00:39:10.700 The governor of Ohio has been saying, well, you know, we can't go into this explosion because disasters are for just natural disasters.
00:39:20.120 Even though they now, after Trump says he's going there, they've sent a team of bureaucrats to observe from FEMA.
00:39:27.640 But there is precedent, actually, for a chemical explosion to be declared a major disaster by FEMA.
00:39:34.760 In 2013, the Obama administration declared a little town in West Texas where they had an ammonia nitrate explosion a federal disaster, a major disaster.
00:39:45.060 In FEMA, federal funds paid for debris cleanup and for emergency response.
00:39:51.400 I think that's very appropriate in this circumstance.
00:39:53.560 Let me also point out the first time that then Governor Rick Perry asked to have it declared a disaster in the town was called West Texas.
00:40:04.440 The Obama administration, remember, Joe Biden was VP at that time, said no.
00:40:09.220 He had to apply again.
00:40:10.300 And finally, they relented.
00:40:12.060 I think what Governor DeWine should do, in my view, is follow the advice of the Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown and go ahead now and declare this a disaster and force the Biden administration to either accept or reject that request.
00:40:27.420 And I think that would be a good setup for the kind of funds that Jeffrey Clark is talking about that Audrey set up.
00:40:34.020 Well, trust me, President Trump's going to be all over this.
00:40:38.120 He already is all over it.
00:40:39.800 And he's going to force – he's the forcing function.
00:40:42.260 He's going to force action here.
00:40:43.980 And, of course, those great citizen journalists that are all over East Palestine having the back of the great citizens in that town.
00:40:51.800 Short break.
00:40:52.460 Back in a second.

00:42:02.660 Jeffrey Clark, any concluding thoughts people should be thinking about as the Sunday shows come on and all the spinning and lying and lack of accountability of the Biden regime in this thing?
00:42:14.300 Sure, Steve.
00:42:16.220 Let me do this.
00:42:18.340 Look, I participated in some knockdown, drag-out fights between EPA and the Pentagon over who really had the power to do certain things.
00:42:27.760 Usually it involved a military base.
00:42:30.360 And EPA was not shy.
00:42:32.280 Let's put it that way, Steve.
00:42:33.420 You know, if they thought they had authority, they really tried to push everybody else out, even if it was on a military base.
00:42:40.100 Even if I decided, like, all right, look, I'm refereeing this and EPA stand down.
00:42:44.740 You know, this is really something where the Pentagon, you know, is in charge.
00:42:48.600 They would still keep fighting and never give up.
00:42:51.740 Here, magically, people are tweeting at me things like, well, DOD decided that the controlled burn was the best thing to do.
00:42:58.520 I'm still mystified as to why DOD was even involved here.
00:43:02.740 We're not talking about anything that has a close nexus to a military base or to Pentagon activities.
00:43:08.940 And yet EPA seems to be running from the field, pointing the finger at Ohio.
00:43:13.640 Hold it, hold it.
00:43:14.240 All the Twitter people, that's a lie.
00:43:17.880 The governor of DeWitt said he asked the, DeWine said he asked the National Guard, and they checked in with the Pentagon about the wind direction.
00:43:28.840 So, no, no, no, no.
00:43:29.520 All the Twitter folks that are going to be the running dogs here, the Biden regime, you're going to own this.
00:43:34.780 You're going to own this.
00:43:36.020 You're saying – people know the EPA are like Nazis inside the administrative state.
00:43:41.700 They stake out their claim and they never back off, do they, Jeff?
00:43:44.340 Even when you were at DOJ, to get these guys to back off anything is almost impossible.
00:43:48.520 And here, clearly, it's their responsibility and they're heading to Africa for a seven-day climate change confab, sir.
00:43:58.460 It's sad where we are, Steve.
00:44:00.040 That's exactly right.
00:44:01.060 That's what EPA institutionally does.
00:44:02.960 Yet here they're not doing it because I think they realize they made very serious mistakes.
00:44:07.260 They don't want to be held accountable for it.
00:44:08.760 And they want to just do the, you know, so-called feel-good things that will get coverage from the mainstream media of, you know, we're complaining about the earth-shattering problem of climate change and doing that with Hollywood actors.
00:44:21.260 You know, like, Steve, when I went down to the border wall to tour that early in my tenure in the Trump administration because we were in charge of, you know, getting the land to build the wall, you know, no one from Hollywood accompanied me to go to that.
00:44:32.800 But, you know, the left just conveniently can always have these Hollywood people back them up, and no one's going to come to defense of the people in East Palestine from the Hollywood community.
00:44:43.140 And that's shameful, Steve.
00:44:47.100 Jeffrey, how do people – you're doing great work with Russ Vogt and the team.
00:44:50.320 How do people get to you, the site, and how do they get to you on your social media?
00:44:54.660 And particularly, people should be following you now because you're in the thick of it.
00:45:00.380 Well, thanks, Steve.
00:45:01.240 Our website for our organization is AmericaRenewing.com, and I'm JeffClarkUS at Twitter and Getter and at RealJeffClark on Truth Social.
00:45:16.480 Brother Clark, thank you so much for helping us out here.
00:45:21.200 Glad to do it, Steve.
00:45:21.960 Thanks, brother.
00:45:24.580 Leahy, you're in Cleveland.
00:45:25.900 Tell me – you're kind of our on-scene commander now for the reporting.
00:45:29.200 You've got all the great citizen journalists out there.
00:45:32.200 You've got the Ohio Star.
00:45:33.340 Where is this story going over the weekend?
00:45:36.160 It's a full-court press by the Ohio Star, the Star News Network, members of the Posse, anybody that can help us.
00:45:42.380 We're going to find the name of the on-site coordinator of the EPA who reportedly issued this order, and we're going to see if a document exists.
00:45:50.340 It should exist.
00:45:51.320 Where is it?
00:45:51.920 We're going to find it.
00:45:52.620 We're going to find it.
00:45:55.020 Amen.
00:45:55.940 When Leahy – he's like a bulldog when he's on these things.
00:46:01.000 Leahy, one last question about Memphis.
00:46:03.520 When they were – the officers were brought in yesterday, and they had the prosecutor there.
00:46:08.620 Is there any movement at all on the story in Memphis about it being about another relationship and not about a traffic stop that this guy – that Mr. Nichols violated the law?
00:46:20.540 Any sense, given that they're being charged or in court now, that the true story is going to come out here?
00:46:27.700 All five officers pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
00:46:32.780 Apparently, the trial won't begin until May.
00:46:35.520 During this period of time, there will be discovery by the defense attorneys, and I think in that discovery, the evidence related to the possible personal relationship between one of those charged and a woman who may have been associated with Tyree Nichols may come up.
00:46:54.980 Remember, he sent that text message to a female acquaintance, an image he took of Tyree Nichols after they had beaten him.
00:47:02.440 Tyree Nichols died three days later.
00:47:03.940 Also, I think it's very important here to have the – very important about this – about what Jeffrey Clark just laid out.
00:47:15.120 I'll talk to you after the show on this.
00:47:17.260 But the punch list, to look at this like the horizon – was it a deep harbor situation, right?
00:47:25.600 The horizon situation off of Louisiana and also the burn pits that Jon Stewart just helped get the legislation passed through, the burn pits for the veterans of the – particularly the Iraq war.
00:47:39.440 There's something there, and this has got to be done now.
00:47:41.820 And that's what – President Trump's going up there because he wants to see action.
00:47:46.680 He's the forcing function right now.
00:47:48.340 You watch.
00:47:48.740 They're all going to be scrambling because they understand he can bring a global spotlight to this.
00:47:53.240 Leahy, how do people get to you, the site, social media, and all the websites on the Star News Network?
00:48:00.860 On the web at theohiostar.com, also thestarnewsnetwork.com.
