Transcript
00:00:11.000
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:19.000
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:23.000
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:28.000
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:55.000
Senator Hawley, you were one of the leaders of this fight.
00:00:57.000
We understand now, after the Senate voted 99 to 1,
00:01:00.000
and the only guy that voted for it is leaving the Senate,
00:01:07.000
They're trying to slip the moratorium back into the NDAA.
00:01:13.000
Can you explain to our audience why that's a terrible idea, sir?
00:01:16.000
Well, it's a terrible idea for the same reasons it's always been a terrible idea, Steve,
00:01:20.000
which is to give these companies, these mega companies,
00:01:23.000
multinationals, 10 years where they can do whatever the heck they want.
00:01:29.000
They're going to come after everything that is yours, your name, your image, your likeness.
00:01:34.000
Anything you put out on the web, any of your pictures, any of your kids' pictures,
00:01:44.000
Are you getting your consent given and freely given to this in order to have them take your information?
00:01:50.000
So what will happen is if this thing passes and if it gets slid in here in some backroom deal,
00:01:55.000
and here's the deal about the National Defense Authorization Act,
00:02:00.000
So if you're not on the committee, which I'm not, you don't have any idea what's going on.
00:02:09.000
It would be a disaster to see this moratorium so-called make its way back in there.
00:02:16.000
It is a giveaway to the biggest multinationals, Mark Zuckerberg,
00:02:23.000
With everything else, because we've had the CRA guys on here back,
00:02:32.000
you're not up to speed and like briefed every couple of days of what's going on in this markup?
00:02:49.000
So right now, Steve, I've got no earthly idea what is being marked up.
00:02:57.000
A lot of the votes, I used to be on this committee, so I know how this is done.
00:03:06.000
It took me years to figure out the way that these guys try to do this stuff.
00:03:10.000
So I would bet if somebody's trying to slip this into the Defense Authorization Act, they may even try to do it without a recorded vote.
00:03:17.000
So later on, when you say, okay, wait a minute.
00:03:23.000
I'm just speculating, but I would not put it past them.
00:03:30.000
It would be the ultimate backroom deal to get this thing shoved in the NDAA.
00:03:35.000
If they do that, Steve, if they do that, when this thing comes to the floor, the defense bill, I will absolutely go to the floor and use everything that I can to try and strip it out.
00:03:47.000
I will block the defense bill until we can get a vote to strip it out.
00:03:50.000
There's no way I'm going to roll over for this.
00:03:53.000
Your recommendation is the Warren Posse should go to the ramparts today and contact their senators and let them know, like we did last time, absolutely no way on this in the Defense Authorization Act?
00:04:08.000
There is still time to affect the outcome here.
00:04:10.000
I'm glad you're covering it because nobody else is.
00:04:12.000
So I would absolutely tell people, call your senator, write it, you know, email them.
00:04:23.000
After we rejected this, as you just pointed out, 99 to 1, to get it slipped back in in a backroom deal, that would just be the worst.
00:04:33.000
After Senator Hawley bounces, we'll give everybody instructions on what to do with Bill Blaster.
00:04:40.000
Talk about, finally people are taking, and Missouri's kind of leading the way here.
00:04:46.000
Eric Schmidt is Attorney General, Josh Hawley in the Senate, now Eric Schmidt.
00:04:50.000
Why is Missouri leading the way on taking on the Chinese Communist Party, whether it's pandemic, the dark hand?
00:05:00.000
But why is Missouri leading the way on this thing?
00:05:02.000
Well, maybe because we are maybe the most populous state in the nation.
00:05:07.000
I mean, we are populists in the state of Missouri.
00:05:11.000
And what we don't believe is China coming in, buying up our farmland.
00:05:14.000
You know, one of the reasons that young farmers, my state, farming is our number one industry, ag, number one industry.
00:05:20.000
We got a lot of young farmers who can't buy land.
00:05:24.000
Because Chinese corporations and other shell companies are coming in, buying up all of the land, putting solar panels on it,
00:05:31.000
using it to stage their various attempts at espionage.
00:05:38.000
No ownership of farmland by Chinese corporations.
00:05:41.000
Steve, I don't want them owning real estate either of any kind.
00:05:43.000
Why should they be buying up family homes and driving up the cost of those?
00:05:50.000
We got a lot of farmland that's really expensive.
00:05:55.000
And yet these mega farms owned by China are proliferating everywhere.
00:06:03.000
Do we need, does Warren Posse need to contact the senators about this aspect of it?
00:06:08.000
We need a law that out and out bans Chinese ownership of farmland in the United States.
00:06:14.000
I think we ought to, again, make it even broader.
00:06:16.000
I think it ought to be all real estate, single family homes.
00:06:19.000
Why should Chinese corporations be able to buy up our land, buy up our homes?
00:06:29.000
And then we need the Justice Department to go out there and enforce it strictly, enforce it with the full, everything they've got.
00:06:38.000
That's what we need right now because this is a huge threat.
00:06:45.000
The national security interests here are just off the charts.
00:06:50.000
You know, are we going to be a sovereign nation?
00:06:54.000
If your own people can't buy land in their own country, you are not a sovereign nation.
00:07:01.000
You're saying everything Brooks Rollins did the other day, that magnificent press conference and the executive orders.
00:07:07.000
You want to take everything they're doing in the executive order and codify this now into a law so it can't be changed the next time another president comes in?
00:07:21.000
Write it right into the United States code so that it can't ever be undone except for another act of Congress.
00:07:26.000
And then you can see every person who's voting to undo it.
00:07:29.000
We need to make this permanent protection for the American people.
00:07:37.000
The Hill's lead story this morning was that the U.S. Senate, the Republicans are worried because Elmo, right, Elon Musk, is making a big deal about debt and deficits, which you and I have been on forever.
00:07:50.000
But then I'm getting calls from guys in the administration saying, hey, the rescissions package, which is $9.3 billion and going after PBS, NPR, and a bunch of other USAID stuff, that that's in trouble.
00:08:05.000
And there's an article in Politico today to say, hey, Thune's working behind the scenes, but that may not pass.
00:08:12.000
And I'm an advocate just telling the administration, just impound the money.
00:08:15.360
You're going for these rescissions, but we're spending all this time and all this brainpower, $9.3 billion.
00:08:23.580
How can your colleagues be worried about Elon and the America Party out of India, right, on cutting?
00:08:30.280
And yet the simplest things we've done and actually put NPR and PBS there, you can't get enough Republicans to actually get a vote, sir.
00:08:39.960
Yeah, you know, some things are just beyond explanation.
00:08:45.500
Like you said, it's $9 billion, which on the one hand is a tremendous amount of money.
00:08:50.060
On the other hand, in the context of the federal government, I mean, what was this last bill we just did?
00:08:55.040
I mean, as you said, this ought to be pretty easy.
00:09:01.380
Let's not forget the head of NPR, PBS, whatever it is.
00:09:05.140
She comes into office wearing Joe Biden paraphernalia, openly campaigning for Biden during the last election.
00:09:14.200
It is outrageous, and we're paying for it with taxpayer money.
00:09:17.340
I mean, listen, if some rich guy somewhere wants to fund NPR, fine, go ahead.
00:09:21.520
You know, or if they think that they can make it on their own in the free market, have at it.
00:09:25.020
But I resent the fact that hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money is being used to fund this propaganda.
00:09:32.940
That, to me, ought to be an easy, easy vote to get rid of.
00:09:37.040
Look, the president, you know, seeks your counsel.
00:09:40.200
And I think we're at a crossroads because this is a test package rescission because they have rescissions.
00:09:51.500
What would be your recommendation, knowing the temperature on the Hill and knowing that we're coming up to the August recess and the fiscal year ends 30 September?
00:10:00.960
And the president has basically, as you know, committed to a bunch of people to get the big, beautiful bill passed.
00:10:07.200
There's going to be there's going to be additional cuts.
00:10:12.620
Continue to come in rescissions and let's engage the House and the Senate, do pocket rescissions or just impound the frickin' money and let's get on and let's go to the court.
00:10:20.820
Let's go all the way up to the Supreme Court and let them decide.
00:10:29.460
I think you got to put it for a vote in the Senate and see where you are.
00:10:31.920
I mean, let's just see if this thing, if you can't get $9 billion rescinded, then, I mean, what can you get done, right?
00:10:41.240
Number two, the good news is, is that we're talking about last year's budget.
00:10:45.220
We're talking about money that the president wants to not spend from Joe Biden's budget.
00:10:50.420
Now, Donald Trump has full control of the budgetary process.
00:10:57.080
And he's going to have the chance to strip out everything that we're just talking about because he doesn't have to spend all of it.
00:11:05.860
So I think he's got to put his mark on this thing and make sure that the budget that we get ready to pass here in the next few months is truly a Trump budget,
00:11:13.860
that he has gone through it line by line, that he is getting exactly what he wants, that all of this garbage money,
00:11:19.440
whether we're talking about PBS and PR, whether we're talking about those transgender operas in Peru,
00:11:24.980
that all of that is completely defunded because he's got the chance to do it now.
00:11:30.640
He's going to own this thing and have control of it.
00:11:32.860
And we need to make sure the House and the Senate respond to his priorities.
00:11:36.360
When he sends his budget up and we pass that in the next couple of months, we're passing what you want.
00:11:43.840
You've just preached the gospel of the war, and we love it.
00:11:46.160
But you would agree that on midnight on the 30th of September, we'll be shutting down the government.
00:11:51.460
There's no way that – your plan, which is Trump's plan and the Warren's plan,
00:11:55.740
is there any way that gets passed before midnight on the 30th of September, sir, as you look at it today?
00:12:03.100
It takes – not to get too complicated, but you know it.
00:12:10.000
But listen, the president's got a lot of power here.
00:12:13.060
He needs to demand that whether it's in September or October, November, December,
00:12:17.120
sometime in these next few months, this whole thing will get done,
00:12:19.620
and it needs to be his budget with his fingerprints on it, his priorities.
00:12:25.120
Senator Hawley, your books, your writing, your social media, where do people go to find out more about you?
00:12:30.240
Hawley Moe on Twitter, same on Facebook, Instagram, all the other social media.
00:12:40.000
Thank you, sir. Thank you for making time to be with us.
00:12:46.680
Grace, I think the first thing, and, Moe, what we've got to do is make bill blast our folks today.
00:12:51.620
You just heard right there from Senator Hawley, the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act,
00:12:57.520
this is what authorizes the $1 trillion defense budget, and this is why we're all over hell's half acre.
00:13:02.960
We are inexorably being drawn into a shooting war in Ukraine.
00:13:07.060
Number one priority to me in this town, number one priority is make sure we avoid that.
00:13:12.280
If we get sucked into this thing, and it starts by shipping more weapons, then you've got to have technicians,
00:13:18.160
and I think there ought to be an accounting of actually who's in country right now in Ukraine fighting.
00:13:23.220
Then, when the shooting starts, a kid gets bombed again.
00:13:26.780
You do what you did in Tel Aviv to defend Tel Aviv, which, by the way, should have been defended.
00:13:33.740
Understanding that the civilians in their cities were going to be eviscerated.
00:13:37.220
You're going to see that because Putin said, hey, told President Trump this is a bilateral thing.
00:13:48.340
That's why he had this kind of, not fiasco, but this change of direction over at the Pentagon.
00:13:54.920
And Apple Bombs reporting in the Atlantic, they have a 670, this was the army was defeated, the Russian army, 675,000 troops, according to her, set for a summer offensive.
00:14:07.900
And I believe a big part of that offensive is going to be down to the south around Odessa.
00:14:12.960
So then the Russians control all the port and all the access to the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, all of it.
00:14:21.380
Are your sons and daughters going to be called up?
00:14:25.560
You got that brigade of the 101st Airborne, I think it's still in Romania.
00:14:29.320
Are they going to be defending Odessa on Labor Day?
00:14:34.760
You've got to step in the middle of this thing.
00:14:36.580
Make sure the voice of the people are heard about non-intervention.
00:14:40.700
You cannot get sucked into a land where right now with what's happening in the United States,
00:14:44.320
the priority here is mass deportation in the United States of America.
00:14:48.080
And taking apart the deep state brick by brick.
00:14:53.900
You went and lost your pride, but I'm American.
00:14:59.820
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.
00:15:04.820
The block of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India and Persia,
00:15:10.460
are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:15.160
They're calling this the Rio reset as BRICS nations push forward with their plans.
00:15:21.280
Global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.760
While this transition won't not happen overnight.
00:15:33.440
The Rio reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively
00:15:38.860
from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.
00:15:43.720

00:16:27.040
I'm Jonathan Lamb, Kerrville Police Department.
00:16:31.040
I appreciate y'all's kindness in letting me run a little long.
00:16:33.880
Yesterday morning, I shared some of the stories of the heroic actions of my fellow City of Kerrville
00:16:43.700
I know those are things that our community has seen, and we felt it was important to share that with the public.
00:16:49.540
This morning's briefing will be a little bit more to the point.
00:16:52.000
The response here in Kerr County continues to expand as the mission becomes more technical.
00:16:59.780
There's more than 2,100 responders on the ground here from state, local, and federal agencies
00:17:10.800
Ten states have sent specially trained teams to our community, and two more states are en route.
00:17:16.660
As I know many of you have reported, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House
00:17:22.700
are strongly committed to helping our community.
00:17:26.640
And we're grateful that they're making our recovery a priority in the upcoming special legislative session.
00:17:34.040
Our City of Kerrville and Kerr County leadership are committed to a transparent and full review of processes and protocols.
00:17:42.360
The special session is going to be a starting point for that work.
00:17:44.760
But our entire focus since day one has been on rescue and reunification, which leads me to our latest report.
00:17:54.840
As of 8 a.m. this morning, there have been 96 confirmed deaths, 60 adults and 36 children.
00:18:03.760
The number of missing remains at 161, and there remain five campers and one counselor from Camp Mystic among the missing.
00:18:15.960
If family members had reported a loved one missing and they've returned safely, we ask that you notify us through
00:18:37.460
Again, that's Kerrville-Missing at DPS.Texas.gov or call 830-258-1111.
00:18:48.460
Additionally, the State of Texas, FEMA, the Small Business Administration have opened a disaster recovery center here in Kerrville
00:18:57.760
for those who have been affected by the storms.
00:19:01.760
It's currently open at the First Baptist Church here in Kerrville at 625 Washington Street.
00:19:15.200
So it's been a recovery effort, and it's going to be a tough recovery effort.
00:19:20.240
Obviously, the missing number is not coming down.
00:19:24.160
It doesn't look like it's coming down rapidly enough.
00:19:36.900
The rains last weekend in Central Carolina were biblical.
00:19:40.740
People have been in these places like Southern Pines, Pinehurst, all the way up to Chapel Hill,
00:19:46.580
never seen rain at this level, that have lived there all their lives.
00:19:50.940
How does that happen at the same time you have it in Texas?
00:20:01.360
And, of course, then they've got all the operational.
00:20:04.280
What happened there in this terrible tragedy has got to be thoroughly gone through.
00:20:09.580
What Hawley was talking about right there, number one, we've got to get up.
00:20:16.300
This is because the oligarchs have these guys on the payroll.
00:20:21.080
Their lobbyists are all in with the campaign donations.
00:20:24.060
Certainly on the artificial intelligence, it's a big deal with the content and all your digital rights.
00:20:32.680
But more importantly, they just want no controls at all.
00:20:38.560
Well, the Chinese Communist Party is ahead of us.
00:20:40.040
Well, there's many, many ways to cut off the CCP from technology and capital.
00:20:44.920
If that's a concern, which we think it's a concern, choke it off now.
00:20:48.000
Choke it off their ability to build data centers.
00:20:54.620
Elmo, and this is where he gets his money from, Tesla.
00:20:57.100
He's up to Hawk with the loans from the Chinese Communist Party on the joint venture in Shanghai,
00:21:04.260
They just built, what, an electric vehicle battery facility and manufacturing facility?
00:21:22.720
18 trillion of that's associated with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:21:26.060
Of course, the Globals say, oh, don't, that's just an accounting convention.
00:21:30.720
You had wealth that you had sent to them to buy finished manufactured product here that this country used to make.
00:21:40.840
That's what President Trump in this terror fight is so important,
00:21:43.360
and the trade fight is so important with Navarro.
00:21:45.720
And Scott Besson leading the way, and Ambassador Jameson Greer, the trade rep.
00:21:53.280
So this is why, and the NDAA is this is how the deep state rolls.
00:21:58.920
It's a trillion dollars to the Defense Department.
00:22:00.840
Does the Defense Department need a trillion dollars?
00:22:04.280
If you're on the strategy of trying to enforce the post-war international rules-based order,
00:22:14.620
which was set up by the elites for the elites and sucked the vibrancy and the life out of the United States of America
00:22:21.140
and sent all those jobs, like to China, to the CCP, who's their business partner, absolute business partner,
00:22:29.700
then it makes sense that you need a trillion dollars.
00:22:34.220
But if you've thought this thing through, like President Trump said, hey, how about this?
00:22:42.760
We stop them to get Greenland or have some associate Greenland.
00:22:45.320
We stop the Russian submarines coming through there.
00:22:49.220
We don't let the Caribbean be a lake for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:57.540
Maybe go to Hamas and take that massive embassy they've got, which is basically a military intelligence listing station.
00:23:06.920
Then on the three island chain, the Central Pacific becomes the strategic heartland of the United States.
00:23:15.280
When Mackinder was doing the whole thing about the Eurasian landmass?
00:23:17.780
The great giants of the post-Civil War United States of America, when America started to industrialize,
00:23:23.960
that generation and the men that came, that fought in the Civil War, like the greatest generation,
00:23:31.340
fought in the Civil War as junior people and then later came up and came to run the country, the late 19th century.
00:23:40.300
They understood that the Pacific is the, that Central Pacific is the strategic pivot, is the strategic heartland of the country.
00:23:46.920
And if you associate yourself with the three island chains, of which Cleo Pascal has done so brilliantly,
00:23:55.300
and Captain Fennell have done so brilliantly, and the Secretary of Defense made his first trip,
00:24:01.980
Pete Hexeth made his first trip to, guess where, the three island chain, right?
00:24:07.580
And this is why we're going to, we're going to interview the ambassador from Taiwan this afternoon.
00:24:17.140
You do that, the United States is hermetically sealed.
00:24:19.120
You put a, as President Trump says, lifting a little bit from Notre Dame,
00:24:24.300
you put a Golden Dome on top of that or a missile defense, anti-ballistic missile defense,
00:24:29.920
or the anti-missile defense, a bigger version than what they have in Israel,
00:24:36.700
You add Argentina and Brazil as strategic partners down there,
00:24:42.480
But we don't need, and for that, you don't need a trillion dollar defense budget.
00:24:49.340
And you get allies, I mean, allies that actually pitch in and pay for something and learn how to fight.
00:24:56.700
Ukraine, we're inexorably, I can tell you the headlines now, folks,
00:25:00.680
when you come back from the end of summer, it's going to play out,
00:25:02.840
and when you come back in September, every day is going to be,
00:25:06.000
if we go down this path, every day is going to be a Ukraine war.
00:25:10.920
We can't get sucked into this because we can't have the focus.
00:25:23.260
But the big thing is mass deportations, and you see the amnesty.
00:25:27.060
They just announced, I think Joe Rogan came back and had dinner with President Trump.
00:25:39.120
That whole amnesty thing kicked up last week, and trust me,
00:25:41.600
they're back and the lobbyists are going to come back and call it something else,
00:25:51.060
You have to get your country back, and it has to start.
00:25:58.320
They're saying, hey, and they're going into MacArthur Park,
00:26:00.480
and they're saying, look into MS-13, well, hey, go to East L.A.
00:26:04.560
Let's go to some of these factories that have employed illegal aliens,
00:26:07.320
and let's get the Americans, free up the billets,
00:26:12.440
And this gets back to the deep state, the war against the deep state.
00:26:18.980
This nation's capital, even with President Trump winning three times,
00:26:31.480
The deep state is trying to counter all of his orders,
00:26:37.380
the three most powerful institutions in this city,
00:26:41.380
the Federal Reserve, the Central Intelligence Agency, and CENCOM.
00:27:00.480
because CENCOM doesn't control the Ukrainian front,
00:27:04.700
if they were the combatant commander in Ukraine,
00:27:15.340
to keep us in the wars in the Middle East is massive.
00:27:18.340
The relationships everybody builds with the Arabs and the Israelis
00:27:24.800
it goes back from when the junior officers asked Flynn.
00:27:37.620
you only have a handful of political appointees to do it.
00:27:51.300
and this is just getting a taste of their own medicine.
00:28:40.040
