Jeffrey Epstein was a brilliant math teacher in the late 70s and early 80s who went on to become one of the most powerful men in the world. He was also a serial pedophile, who, according to the New York Times, was involved in the sexual abuse of teenage girls. But why did he go from being a math teacher to having multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhattan? Where did all the money come from? And who was he working for?
00:00:55.200And no one has ever gotten to the bottom of that because no one has ever tried.
00:00:58.920And moreover, it's extremely obvious to anyone who watches that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government.
00:01:06.500Now, no one's allowed to say that that foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that that's naughty.
00:01:15.720There is nothing wrong with saying that there is nothing hateful about saying that there's nothing anti-Semitic about saying there's something even anti-Israel about saying that I've spent my entire life pretty much in Washington,
00:01:26.960where I knew and loved a number of people, including one very close person, who worked at CIA.
00:01:32.820That has never prohibited me from saying, I think the CIA has done some horrible things.
00:01:38.600Murdered a bunch of people, participated in the murder of a sitting U.S. president.
00:02:07.200Because I've argued for this from the beginning, that in that arc of looking at how the deep state has tried to stop Trump and the MAGA movement,
00:02:17.060you can easily fit in the Epstein situation, right?
00:02:22.900If you want the full release of documents, the special prosecutor gets it.
00:03:48.180You saw the conference split between people who work for Trump or running for office who didn't talk about this and every other influencer who did.
00:03:55.000And the Bannon perspective, which is widely shared, is that there is a deep state that, if you can cover this up, can cover up who knows how many crimes against Donald Trump, crimes against the American people.
00:04:06.400If there must be something hidden in the Epstein record that would embarrass, much like the Church Commission 40 years ago, 50 years ago, I should say, embarrass the security state.
00:04:17.560There must be that material in the Epstein files, TBD, unproven so far.
00:04:21.940The other part of it is that from the people who were booing in that audience is a real belief that there are people walking.
00:04:28.700You were talking about Epstein walking down Palm Beach.
00:04:30.840People like that walking free right now who committed terrible crimes that have not been that have not been exposed.
00:04:36.380And based on what happened here, would never be exposed.
00:04:39.020And so I would say that the anger is being redirected by these influencers a little bit away from Trump towards Pam Bondi.
00:04:47.320A theme there in our reporting, Shelby Talcott's reporting Axios, back this up, is that Ben Pungino and, to a lesser extent, Patel are seen as the people who were pushing from the outside,
00:04:57.760even more than Trump was for four years at this need to be released, that Bondi can't be trusted because she's a glory hog in the way that Kelly was putting it.
00:06:21.880What's happening now is the most transformative time in American economic history in a very long time.
00:06:27.460Productivity should be booming in the next five to ten years because of technology.
00:06:32.860The U.S. should be at the very forefront of that.
00:06:35.520The president calls it the golden age, and he could well be right about this.
00:06:38.920Alan Greenspan kept rates low because he knew these policies were structurally disinflationary.
00:06:44.640The Fed doesn't have that view, and they're working against that agenda.
00:06:47.520If you recognize what an important moment this is, the Fed needs to be part of it, and the Fed needs to understand where we are in our economic future.
00:07:17.760So, for six months now, President Trump has been alternating between making threats about Russia and returning to his initial hope that he could negotiate a peace deal.
00:07:28.240He finally seems to understand that without more pressure, he's not going to get anything like a resolution of this conflict,
00:07:35.840which he often speaks about emotionally.
00:07:37.880He speaks about the death on the battlefield, hundreds and thousands of people killed.
00:07:43.560So, what this package involves, as he said, is the U.S. selling weapons to our NATO allies in Europe,
00:07:51.440who will then probably give them to Ukraine.
00:07:54.660And they'll include, most importantly, given this barrage on Ukrainian cities, Patriot missiles,
00:08:01.800which are really the only defense against the big ballistic missiles that Russia has been firing,
00:11:03.240Maria yesterday, Kevin Warsh is probably the most steadiest of the steady eddies.
00:11:08.080He's talking about regime change at the Federal Reserve, not just replacing the chairman who is under onslaught by OMB, our good friend Russ Vogt, and others, for $2.5 billion spending on, I guess, redoing the temple of the Federal Reserve.
00:11:26.960Warsh is flat out running to be Fed chair.
00:11:30.800He's talking about regime change to basically clear out the entire building.
00:11:34.400Obviously, he started with Tucker, myself, others.
00:11:36.720I think Dave Weigel gave an absolutely – Dave Weigel from Semaphore gave a great summary of what the weekend was about, about this institutional, the deep state, who actually runs the country.
00:11:47.700Hey, and I keep saying the three most powerful institutions in Washington, D.C. are the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Reserve, and CENCOM down in Tampa, Florida, and in the Middle East.
00:11:58.720We're going to get all into that today.
00:12:01.020We're going to have to – we're going to call some audibles here.
00:12:04.180The Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, a Dutch politician who is quite close to President Trump because he's the one guy that backed, at least eventually, NATO increasing their spending.
00:12:18.400They're increasing their spending because of Ukraine.
00:12:20.420It doesn't really hit into 2035, but at least directionally, it's correct.
00:12:23.820He's coming to the White House for consultation of an expanded American role in the Ukraine war.
00:12:31.180Actually, I think for many of the people in the America First movement, it's quite shocking that today we're actually talking about a major offensive – not just defensive weapons,
00:12:41.360Patriot missiles that they're stripping out of the Indo-Pacific to thwart off any type of invasion of Taiwan.
00:12:47.900You know, we had the Taiwan ambassador on last week, ambassador to the United States, about the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Navy actually doing rehearsals for an invasion.
00:12:58.780But now over the weekend, it's talked about not just a huge package of defensive weapons and Patriot missiles, but actually offensive weapons and weapons that – from the United States, of course, sold through NATO that could be – give the Ukrainians offensive capability, not simply offensive capability,
00:13:17.680but something that heretofore we've been adamantly opposed to.
00:13:20.200Even the Biden administration wouldn't do that, or if they did it, they did it on the side.
00:13:24.540But the ability to hit Moscow, as I've said, you know, the convergence, and you've got Bibi Netanyahu and, you know, Tel Aviv Levin and the Israel First crowd cheering on, you know, regime change in Iran.
00:13:42.200They said, by Labor Day, you know, let's take the 1st of September, always a memorable day for European wars.
00:13:49.540You're going to see the merger of these two conflicts.
00:13:51.180We are rapidly moving – inexorably being drawn in to a major war on the Eurasian landmass in Ukraine where we will be a combatant, and we're being also drawn in – they continue to try to draw us in.
00:14:07.100President Trump's taking a pretty tough line to be drawn into a regime change conflict in Iran, and those two are going to merge.
00:14:16.400So all the people said, oh, with Third World War to start, Third World War is here, bro.
00:14:22.340Millions dead or wounded already, and it's about to get a lot nastier.
00:14:27.300It's about to get – we're going to go up a couple of notches.
00:14:30.840In the United States, by supplying offensive capabilities is now just like in the first – in the 12-day war.
00:14:37.000You're going to go from a supplier of weapons to someone that helps them figure out how to use them to, you know, join in as a combatant on the defensive side to join in as a combatant on the offensive side, regardless of whether NATO is the middleman or not.
00:14:51.940NATO Secretary General at the White House, we have Dan Caldwell, Ben Harnwell from Rome next in the war room.
00:14:58.280This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:15:18.820As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.960While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:32.880The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

00:16:30.280Nothing like going next level in the Third World War, which is already here.
00:16:41.200Don't let any of these people say, oh, in the 12-day war we didn't, you know, all these people panic and they were all worried about the Third World War.
00:16:47.660The Third World War is here in the two fronts of it right now.
00:16:53.420And those two fronts are of little interest to people in the United States about the vital national security interests of the United States of America.
00:17:02.320Here's what's important in the vital national security interests of the United States, which we have preached this gospel now for years.
00:17:08.900The southern border and the invasion of 10 to, I don't know, 20 or 30 million illegal aliens, but at least 10 to 20 on Biden's watch and to deport them out of this country immediately as a national security concern.
00:17:23.560Number two is in East Asia, the beginning of the Third Island chain, where the Chinese Communist Party is getting ready, rehearsing a potential invasion of Taiwan, which if you think all this, you know, all the AI guys and, hey, we're going to have this great economy and productivity is going to increase and stock markets are going to go to the moon.
00:17:43.760Everybody's going to get a much better job where they have to do very little because AI is going to do it for you.
00:17:48.220Well, that's not going to happen if Taiwan falls in the chip manufacturers over there.
00:17:53.560Become under the control of the Chinese Communist Party or destroyed.
00:17:57.340The United States, our economy will drop, I don't know, 10, 15 percent without access to those chips because the factories in Arizona and, you know, in Phoenix area, in Ohio and other places, they're not going to be ready for a decade.
00:18:13.380And the production of these advanced chips, if you study it, is a science and an art, just not going to magically wave a wand and say you're going to be able to do it.
00:18:24.960That's a long-term project we've argued for years that we need to do.
00:18:29.520But now we're in a terrible situation.
00:18:33.880A lot of people are saying, well, this is all wag the dog to get off from the Epstein and all the other stuff.
00:18:37.380No, and we have to pursue both of those.
00:18:39.320John Solomon being in the second hour about this situation with an investigation into the deep states that's going to go, and I believe they will announce a special prosecutor, I think, sometime later this week or next week.
00:18:51.660And Mike Benz is going to be, you know, the great Mike Benz is going to go through, we're going to talk about the Central Intelligence Agency and other aspects of this, of Epstein and other things about the CIA right now and the fantastic job the CIA is doing.
00:19:05.560And, like, who are they actually working for and who are they working with right now and what intelligence are we getting?
00:19:11.220But we have to deal with what's in front of us.
00:19:13.820The Secretary General of NATO was not scheduled to come.
00:19:17.340That was kind of put on the calendar here in the last couple of days.
00:19:33.460There's two million people dead or wounded already, and parts of Ukraine look like the Western Front in World War I, or parts of it look like Dresden in World War II.
00:19:44.780This is old-fashioned, pound-it-out war, okay?
00:19:51.300This is, you know, you have one million, and I'm getting these numbers from Ian Bremmer, and President Trump has said it a number of times.
00:19:58.560You have one million dead and wounded Ukrainians, and that includes military and civilians.
00:20:04.420And you have a million dead and wounded Russian, principally troops.
00:20:09.760So this package, they – the package over the weekend is kind of shocking.
00:20:14.060You know, and Putin – in President Trump's defense, or he doesn't need a defense, an explanation, on July 3rd in the morning after a package was announced that they were going to withhold new missile packages to Ukraine, I think, earlier in that week from the Pentagon.
00:20:33.980And we don't know actually who actually informed President Trump, or even if they did.
00:20:39.300He had a call on the morning of the 3rd of July with Putin, and he's the first to say, hey, it didn't go very well.
00:20:46.280Axios reported that Putin said, hey, look, this is a bilateral – the ceasefire is a bilateral negotiation.
00:20:51.640We appreciate it, but we've got this, and kind of cut President Trump off and implied that there's going to be a summer offensive.
00:21:00.040And Applebaum later that day over the Atlantic reported that there's a 675,000-man army that the Russians have put together.
00:21:07.500This was a – remember, this was – you heard from David Ignatius of the Langley Bugle, right, the head of the comms department for the CIA.
00:21:16.320Ignatius told us that, you know, the Russians were beating their economy.
00:21:30.660675,000 troops that are ready for a summer offensive, I think principally focused on Odessa.
00:21:37.540And that afternoon after Putin had this not particularly pleasant phone call with President Trump, they lit up on the 3rd – in the evening of the 3rd, Kiev as bad as it's been lit up, and they've kind of continued since then.
00:21:50.900Drone attacks, missile attacks, missile attacks, air attacks, et cetera.
00:21:54.540So now we're in a situation not only going to strip the Indo-Pacific some more.
00:21:59.900You know, Korea and the defense of Taiwan, which is vital to the United States.
00:22:05.140That is in the vital national security interests of the United States, no matter how much some of my America First colleagues even hate the discussion of that.
00:22:15.860Not on principles of democracy or these people have been free for 40 – all that.
00:22:20.760That's all terrific, and I think that's a big – that's an element.
00:22:23.820But the real politique element is without those advanced – without the production of the advanced chip design, we don't really have an economy, to be blunt.
00:22:33.580And I would dare anybody to show me a report that says we can go along without them.
00:22:38.460That's just – that's like the southern border of the United States.
00:22:40.860That is in the vital national security interests of the United States, not all these side deals.
00:22:45.720The Middle East, nothing in the Middle East is in the vital national security interests of the United States, just not.
00:22:51.180And certainly Ukraine, not even in the top 50.
00:22:53.480It's maybe in Europe's interest, and they said they're going to get to 5%.
00:22:58.280Oh, yeah, but that's going to come in 2035.
00:23:01.360So RUTE is over today because this package is now about offensive weapons, and so I bring Dan Caldwell in, Ben Harnwell is with us.
00:23:08.540Caldwell, so make me feel better on this.
00:23:11.420This offensive package, at least what they're talking about, and they haven't defined it yet, but there's a lot of reporting in the paper.
00:23:17.260I don't know how good some of this reporting is, but they're talking about not just, you know, not just Patriot missiles, but offensive capability that could be – when they say offensive, maybe even missiles that could hit Moscow.
00:23:30.260What's your assessment of this with your sources, sir?
00:23:33.920Well, just as you said, we don't know yet what exactly is going to be in this package.
00:23:39.340It could be a situation where the Europeans are simply buying stuff that we were already going to send anyways.
00:23:45.380And this allows President Trump to claim a victory.
00:23:52.440And, you know, in the long term, it hopefully helps out the supply situation a little better than if we just sent things over.
00:23:59.180Now, if they do provide long-range weapons, which so far has been resisted by this administration, I think here's the important point, Steve, is that it's not going to fundamentally change the dynamics of this war.
00:24:12.080It is not going to give Ukraine a significantly enhanced battlefield position.
00:24:20.600Because as you pointed out, this is really about a war of mass.
00:24:26.920And the reality is that the West doesn't have enough weapons to sustain Ukraine for much longer at the current rate.
00:24:35.100And here's another reality, even if the West did not de-industrialize and we still had a real defense industrial base, is Ukraine just simply doesn't have enough people.
00:24:45.180You have had about 8 million people leave the country.
00:24:48.340As you talked about, there could be up to a million casualties on the Ukrainian side.
00:24:53.120And Russia has a three-to-one manpower advantage.
00:24:55.480So, providing the long-range weapons, in my view, is very high risk and, even in the best scenario, low reward.
00:25:05.000And it's important to note, the Russians have been anticipating this move for a long time.
00:25:10.320So, what they have done is that they've hardened up their airfields, their other critical defense infrastructure in their western part of the country.
00:25:18.100They've moved certain assets out of range of these weapons.
00:25:20.760And so, again, it's not going to really impact the battlefield.
00:25:24.020But what it could do is, is you could have the Ukrainians do something reckless, like they did during Operation Spiderweb, and attach strategic nuclear targets or civilian targets, which invite more Russian escalation.
00:25:37.440And there's a risk that the Russians put that on us.
00:25:45.920Look, we have been adamantly opposed to this war from the evening before it started, and we said what was going to happen.
00:25:52.640But the valor and courage of the Ukrainian people, who Mersheimer and we agree are being led down the Primrose Path, their backs are through the wall.
00:26:00.580They keep getting pounded like this, right?
00:26:03.200And now they start an offensive, which I think will head to Odessa.
00:26:06.020But they'll try to go up to the line of where the most they can take, you know, a third of Ukraine or more.
00:26:13.580You can't – how are we going to sit here?
00:26:15.640Because the media is going to be all into it.
00:26:17.660Besiege Ukraine is going to strike back.
00:26:20.480And those brothers have proven they did something Curtis LeMay only fantasized about.
00:26:39.060We have literally no control over them.
00:26:41.860We think we have control, and we don't have control over them.
00:26:43.780Spider-Web showed you that when they went in and took out a third – they tried to take out a third of the strategic triad of the Russians.
00:26:52.580And the Russians not just have long memories.
00:27:11.340It's for Mother Russia, and they're going to grind this.
00:27:13.480And now we've got somebody with their back against the wall that is capable of anything, and we're giving them – in this weapons package, if you give them these type of offensive capabilities, regardless of who the middleman is, this is about this thing spinning out of control.
00:27:29.120World War I and the guns of August spun out of control.
00:27:33.060World War II spun out of control and ended in a war of annihilation and vengeance, right?
00:27:38.240The firebombing of Tokyo, obviously the nuclear weapons to end the war without a million American casualties, infantry casualties.
00:29:00.280They're America's largest emergency preparedness company.
00:29:03.980And right now, when you get their four-week emergency food supply, you'll get a free four 24-7 food kits, an extra 12 days of food, absolutely free.
00:29:16.040You're going to have to insert this, okay?
00:29:18.080And right now, when you get their four-week emergency food supply, you'll get four free 72-hour food kits, an extra 12 days of food, absolutely free.
00:30:07.340Do not let this thing get ahead of you.
00:30:08.820Okay, we are awaiting the Secretary General of the United Nations, who is at the White House today.
00:30:21.240President Trump, I think, was supposed to have a series of events with evangelicals and faith-based leaders.
00:30:28.500I think he's still going to do that, and Real America's Voice will cover it.
00:30:31.200But the intense military situation in Ukraine has called for his attention that the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, a Dutch politician, quite close to President Trump, I think is arriving momentarily.
00:30:49.200It's close to the press, but our own Brian Glenn is hanging around, and we may be able to get in and get some questions.
00:30:56.880We're going to call audibles this morning.
00:30:58.400So, Caldwell, we are clearly going up the escalatory ladder.
00:31:05.360President Trump is saying that, hey, he gave Putin every chance.
00:31:08.240He tried to accommodate him, talk to him, and, you know, I think his point of view is not just the Russian rapprochement they're trying to negotiate, but even a ceasefire in Ukraine, it doesn't appear.
00:31:21.180And here's what the American people have to understand, folks.
00:31:30.100I think maybe even certain of the Europeans want a ceasefire.
00:31:34.140The folks running the deal, and the troops in Russia, right, the conscripts, and their parents want a ceasefire, right?
00:31:42.660The Ukrainian parents who won't let their kids and won't approve a national conscription to get more of the under 25-year-olds in, they want a ceasefire.
00:31:53.300The American people would have their sons and daughters go over there, and more money want a ceasefire.
00:32:03.240The KGB, the guys running the deal in Moscow, no way.
00:32:06.480They're going to go to this, they get Odessa, and maybe more.
00:32:08.820The KGB, the guys running the deal in Kiev, who did Spiderweb, the guys running the deal in Kiev have no interest because without this war, they're gone.
00:32:24.500Also, many elements of the deep state, Spiderweb, as Dan Caldwell always reminds me, was not just pulled off by the Ukrainians.
00:32:33.260It was pulled off by the intelligence services and the military of the United States, probably in Wiesbaden, Germany, helped coordinate it, clearly with some very smart elements of the Ukrainian thing.
00:32:45.500So we're in a situation, Caldwell, where the two principal combatants have no interest in – all they want to do is escalate, and they're looking for partners to help them escalate.
00:32:58.140And right now, because Putin has just told Trump, hey, look, you took a shot.
00:33:01.880Thanks for the memories, but I got this.
00:33:26.100Honestly, if they would have appointed Kajakalas, who's this just monster from Estonia, the former prime minister who makes up stories about being oppressed by the communists,
00:33:37.040I obviously think there's a world we would have pulled out of NATO, but Ruda's very slick.
00:33:42.300Look, you made a point about who has an interest in escalating this.
00:33:47.860You, I think, were alluding to this, is that we think of a lot of these entities, whether we're talking about Ukraine and Russia or Europe as unitary, that they all are on the same page about everything.
00:33:59.600Even within Ukrainian governments, there are a lot of people that either didn't know about Operation Spiderweb or were opposed to it because the next day they were going to Istanbul for peace talks.
00:34:09.880And that gets to your point about what a lot of these weapons and operations are really about.
00:34:15.780They're not changing the battlefield dynamic.
00:34:18.100They're about delaying peace negotiations, delaying a rapprochement between Russia or the United States or Russia and NATO or, you know, actually ending the war in Ukraine because there are a lot of vested interests in continuing the war.
00:34:34.920To be more specific in Ukraine, that's probably, for being honest, you're Mok and Zelensky.
00:34:41.660There's a lot of Baltic states that, for a variety of reasons, some of the loudest supporters of Ukraine want the war to continue, either because they believe that they're next, which is a legitimate fear, although there's not really evidence that Putin has the same designs on those countries as he does on Ukraine because of the historical relations with those countries.
00:35:02.360There are other people in Europe that want the war to continue, and there's people here in the United States that want the war to continue for a variety of reasons.
00:35:09.180But I would just say this, is that for the United States, if the Russians and Ukrainians are going to keep at it, if neither side is serious about a ceasefire, we need to reach a point where we assess we need to walk away.
00:35:25.320And that gets to your point you were making at the beginning of the show about we cannot sustain this conflict indefinitely.
00:35:32.220We are making way too many tradeoffs against our readiness in the Indo-Pacific, even things that we're trying to do here at home.
00:35:41.300All those additional troops we deployed to Eastern Europe, in Romania, in Poland, and elsewhere, a lot of those troops are the same types of troops we're deploying to the southern border, and we're drawing from the same types of units.
00:35:53.980And so there are real tradeoffs at play here, and so we're rapidly approaching a point where we have to make some really tough decisions that, honestly, we should have made long ago.
00:36:06.160Look, I just say I've been to Ukraine.
00:36:09.900I went to Ukraine last year, went to Odessa.
00:36:11.860Odessa, I've met some incredibly brave Ukrainians and some incredibly brave people doing this.
00:36:17.480And you talk to a lot of them in private, almost to a T.
00:36:21.340They don't like the fact that Russians have invaded and ruined their country, but they know that they're not getting Crimea back.
00:36:27.500They know that they're not getting the Donbass back.
00:36:31.060It's just their leaders in Kyiv, for the most part, not all of them, even some of them that have been very hawkish,
00:36:36.500they know that this war is going to end in a negotiated settlement, and that these moves, these escalatory moves now only benefit certain groups of people.
00:36:45.700It's going to end in an escalatory settlement.
00:36:48.640Here's why, by not getting it, the guys in Odessa are going to be part of that negotiation.
00:45:52.620I think it's the number one source where the administration leaks to when they want to put out something and get it out ahead of the mainstream media.
00:46:02.560Although Axios is the epicenter of the mainstream media.
00:46:07.560Birch Gold, now, on a Monday morning, we're talking about wars and the rumors of war.
00:46:14.280I think more than ever, you should understand how you hedge against times of financial turbulence because we might have a little financial turbulence in the future.
00:47:14.320President Trump is going to need assistance and the rest of us is going to need assistance on a $9.3 billion rescissions package, which is quite frankly just symbolic because they've got NPR, PBS in there for a couple of billion dollars.
00:47:26.680You've got some other stuff from USAID.
00:47:43.460We're going to need you at the ramparts, also the NDAA to make sure they don't slip in the artificial intelligence moratorium, which I spent a lot of time on over the weekend.
00:47:52.600And there's a great – actually on Axios between the Anthropics CEO, Dario, and the CEO of the chip company, Jensen, which is now at $4 trillion market cap, arguing.
00:48:10.880One, Jensen saying there's going to be more opportunities created by artificial intelligence.
00:48:15.200Dario saying, hey, I think we're going to wipe out a whole generation of middle managers, white-collar workers.
00:48:22.200We've got to be very concerned about this.
00:49:07.420And talk to Natalie Dominguez and the team.
00:49:09.800We're going to get back to Dan Caldwell and Ben Harnwell momentarily.
00:49:14.400We're waiting for the Secretary General of NATO.
00:49:18.560Used to be not President Trump's favorite, but Rute is a very slick guy.
00:49:22.540He has gotten these guys to commit to 5%, although it is over a decade and is principally, I think, focused on this Ukraine situation.
00:49:30.900He'll be coming, and we're trying to move assets around.
00:49:33.820So let's be close to the press, but I believe that President Trump may actually open it up and take questions, and I think that will be quite fascinating.
00:49:45.980I think we had an overtime where I was doing the interview with John Solomon.
00:49:52.640John Solomon talked about how the FBI and Cash, these guys, are opening up an overall broad investigation of the deep state, starting with Crossfire Hurricane.
00:50:02.000There's another great article up in Just the News today.
00:50:04.160A lot of discussion about that and whether the Epstein thing will be put in there, particularly if a special prosecutor or special counsel is announced.
00:50:12.440John Solomon is supposed to join us in the next hour, subject to us going live to the White House, also trying to get Mike Benz up, who knows the situation with the deep state better than anybody.
00:50:23.220Chris, with wars and the rumors of war, and I'm telling everybody, put a pin in Labor Day weekend because not only may the balloon go up in two places, but you're going to see a merger of this conflict because it will be the Persians and the Russians on one side and NATO, the Americans, Israelis,
00:50:40.360hopefully wherever the Gulf Emirates, on the other, as we get sucked in deeper into the kinetic part of the Third World War.
00:50:49.880Chris Hort, what do you got for us to help people make sure they can communicate when the balloon goes up, sir?
00:50:55.880Well, Steve, what we got for you is the one thing that every household needs, and that's a satellite phone to make sure that you can stay connected no matter what happens.
00:51:04.360Steve, just like we saw in the last couple of weeks in Kerr, Texas, you know, when that flood water hits, the first casualties were the cell towers, and that lack of communication most likely caused the death of more people, very sadly.
00:51:18.560You know, it is so important to be prepared and to be able to communicate no matter what is going on.
00:51:23.720We know that the Russians, the North Koreans, the Chinese, the Iranians are all targeting our infrastructure, and their number one target is always going to be our communications networks.
00:51:33.160They've been successful before taking these things offline, and no doubt they'll be successful again.
00:51:40.680So the number one thing you need to make sure is you have a satellite phone.
00:51:43.380At sat123.com, Steve, we have one today for free in a special bundle where you also get a free hard case to protect your phone and a free power bank to keep it charged, you know, when it runs low.
00:51:56.780So this is all free with activation, $1,500 value.
00:52:00.640Nowhere else in the country, Steve, can you get a free satellite phone.
00:52:03.580You're going to have to buy the phone and then pay for the service.
00:52:06.380But at sat123.com, you get the phone for free.
00:52:09.280And today only, we're giving away a free hard case as well and a free portable power bank with the Iridium 9555.
00:52:15.940You're paying just $99 a month, and you're getting 150 minutes, Steve.
00:52:19.700And those minutes can even roll over if you don't use them.
00:52:22.640But this phone will keep working no matter what.
