Summary
Kerr County's Emergency Coordinator says he was off duty on July 4th when the rain started falling, but a new report reveals that he was in fact on the phone with the Texas Department of Emergency Management when the storm hit.
Transcript
00:00:00.280
The July 4th flash floods killed more than 130 people, including dozens of children, and nearly all of the deaths were in Kerr County.
00:00:08.940
Today, its emergency management coordinator confirmed he was out sick when the flooding began, saying his illness began on July 2nd.
00:00:19.680
I had already requested and been approved for personal time off on July 3rd to fulfill a commitment to my elderly father.
00:00:27.260
However, due to my progressing illness, I remained home to recover.
00:00:32.920
I stayed in bed throughout July 3rd and did not participate in the regularly scheduled 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Texas Emergency Management Coordination Center coordination calls.
00:00:43.740
My supervisors and sheriff's office leadership were aware that I was off duty.
00:00:48.720
Apparently, based on my reading of it, these documents were stored in an annex.
00:00:54.220
I don't know where that is or whoever sees it, and they were being kept in burn bags, which I assume is material that's set to be incinerated.
00:01:09.740
Well, you see, you're bringing attention of the burn bag to me for the first time, and I'll leave that up to the FBI to describe.
00:01:17.380
But I think it's evidence of the great depth that the deep state will go to to cover up weaponization that was going on in the FBI and the executive branch of government generally under the Obama administration.
00:01:34.540
And I want to thank Kash Patel of the FBI and Pan Bondi, our attorney general, for releasing these documents, because after eight years, and it took us three years to get this information.
00:01:48.360
But after eight years, I think we need maximum transparency on all the schemes that were going on 10 years ago to either stop Trump from being elected or after he was elected to ruin his presidency.
00:02:04.040
And that's what this Durham report is all about, and it gives information that Comey FBI had eight, 10 years ago that they never followed up on.
00:02:18.600
And it actually brings attention to the fact that there was either a Clinton conspiracy to make this happen or a Russian disinformation.
00:02:34.320
But either way, it was an attempt to stop Trump.
00:02:38.560
And it also proves that the FBI had a hand in it.
00:02:44.120
And now after these eight years, three years of my trying to get the document, we know that there was the Steele dossier paid for by the Democrats and the Clinton campaign, that it was all effort of total distraction.
00:03:05.680
And to make it look like Russia was playing a very major role in helping Trump to be elected.
00:03:16.380
And now with this Durham report annexed out, it finally proves that the FBI was covering up.
00:03:25.280
Yeah, look, Brianna, it's very clear what's happening here.
00:03:28.260
You listen to that sound that we're hearing there from the emergency coordinator.
00:03:38.760
And very clear that this was a county, Kirk County, where Mystic Camp was, where all those RV parks were, where all the people were streaming in for the July 4th events, was not prepared.
00:03:51.520
They were not on any phone calls from the Texas Department of Emergency Management.
00:03:55.800
While other counties were, they ignored emails to get on calls.
00:04:02.160
I asked him, because I have been asking the mayor of this and I have been asking county officials, were they on calls here with the Texas Department of Emergency Management, which was making preparations for this storm?
00:04:14.660
And when I caught up with the mayor today, just before this hearing, which is taking place behind me, I asked him, did you see that email at one o'clock in the morning saying for you to get on a call on July the 3rd with Texas Department of Emergency Management officials to get on a call to talk about the weather concerns?
00:04:36.320
Take a listen to some of what else he said to me.
00:04:46.240
Which I've said, I wish I'd have seen it, but I didn't see it.
00:04:58.480
From the Texas Department of Emergency Management saying that there'd be a call at 10 a.m.
00:05:06.620
And then later in the day, they sent an email with the decks.
00:05:14.740
And they say at moderate risk, up to four inches away.
00:05:18.900
But, like, I guess, had you seen that email, you would have been on the call, right?
00:05:29.540
And look, this is significant because finally we're getting some acknowledgement that perhaps
00:05:39.800
things could have been better here, that the preparation could have been better.
00:05:43.900
And why this is important, why this is important here is because there is a person sitting at
00:05:49.380
the table behind me here at this hearing who's from a neighboring county.
00:05:53.120
What he just said just a short time ago was that the reason why that county took this so
00:05:58.880
much more seriously was that they were in contact with the Texas Department of Emergency
00:06:05.320
And it was based off of that they had some concern that this was going to be worse.
00:06:10.120
That did not happen in Kirk County and in Kerrville.
00:06:14.700
It appears from everything we know now, we're in contact with the National Weather Service
00:06:19.200
and the day before with the Texas Department of Emergency Management.
00:06:23.300
And there was a member of the legislator who asked a very significant question.
00:06:30.500
What you guys did on the day of, on July 4th, the rescues, yes.
00:06:34.300
But it is a question of what did you do to prevent the loss of life?
00:06:42.540
In this great country, our system that was gifted to us by the framers of the Constitution
00:06:51.040
should be one where the people of Texas are able to decide which elected officials have
00:06:59.880
the ability and honor to represent them in Washington.
00:07:03.500
Instead, Republican politicians want to choose their voters.
00:07:14.120
And it will undermine the quality of life of the people of this great state.
00:07:19.780
It has been said in the early days of the Republic that when the people fear the government,
00:07:35.240
But when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
00:07:45.020
This, in fact, could win or maintain control for the Republicans in the House of Representatives.
00:07:52.600
Look at those that Trump won last year by at least 10 percentage points.
00:08:02.460
Five potential pickup opportunities for the Republican Party.
00:08:06.420
They are playing hardball at this particular point.
00:08:09.100
And right now, it seems to me that Democrats are actually playing close to the Little League Peewee.
00:08:12.820
So five seats, what would five seats in Texas do for Republicans in Congress overall?
00:08:28.560
This time around, two seats for Republicans out of the 2024 elections.
00:08:32.760
Five seats can make all the difference in the world.
00:08:35.700
And that is why Republicans in Texas providing five pickup seat opportunities
00:08:40.140
could, in fact, make the difference between Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives
00:08:44.320
and maintaining control of the House of Representatives.
00:08:46.540
And some voting shifts within Texas might be adding fuel to this.
00:08:52.720
They wouldn't necessarily be able to do this if, in fact, Republicans, Donald Trump,
00:08:56.720
did not do so much better among Latino voters last time around than he did in 2020
00:09:00.840
because four of the pickup opportunities are majority Hispanic seats.
00:09:04.160
In 2024, get this, Donald Trump actually won Latino voters by 10 points in Texas.
00:09:08.800
In 2020, it was Joe Biden who won him by 17 points.
00:09:14.680
So this, in my mind, is fueling these potential pickup opportunities for Republicans.
00:09:18.580
As I said at the beginning of this, Republicans are playing hardball.
00:09:21.640
It's going to be interesting to see if Democrats can actually answer this,
00:09:24.240
or are they going to be stuck in the Little League?
00:09:30.500
We've got so much, we can't even get to our open today.
00:09:32.500
I want to thank that cold open, absolutely magnificent, and Harry Enton, wow.
00:09:39.880
Four of the five pickups are Hispanic, big Hispanic concentrations and majorities,
00:09:48.280
Where you heard this, in the Rio Grande Valley, folks.
00:09:54.280
We are jam-packed for the next two hours, so just buckle in.
00:09:58.020
As you know, we've got the recess appointments, all this stuff going on.
00:10:01.880
I've got Mike Davis and Natalie Staroff, because I do want to get into the bombshells that were dropped today.
00:10:07.460
And, Mike, we've got some work we're going to do with you on Jeff Clark and some other things in a moment.
00:10:11.840
But I just want to go, you know Grassley, the man, better than anybody.
00:10:16.020
And people in the Senate right now are a little put off,
00:10:18.500
because President Trump kind of went off on him about the blue slips.
00:10:22.840
And once again, I don't think President Trump's being quite – I don't think he's being properly briefed on this issue with the blue slips,
00:10:29.980
But Grassley showed what a bulldog he is three years.
00:10:35.760
Three years to basically get declassified the Durham Annex or Appendix,
00:10:41.580
which has got so many bombshells in it for Hillary Clinton, Brennan Clapper, the whole crew.
00:10:52.980
I opened his mail right out of college, and then I was his chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee 17 years later.
00:11:05.860
He is the same man he has been for, what, 65 years in politics?
00:11:19.580
And when he says he's going to do something, he's going to do it, as we just saw with his release of these crossfire hurricane records.
00:11:27.240
When I've been coming on your show, Steve, and we've been talking about how the Mar-a-Lago raid was to get back these damning crossfire hurricane records,
00:11:36.160
and then the subsequent welfare was to try to shut up, to bankrupt, to imprison, to even get President Trump killed,
00:11:44.940
it's because of these crossfire hurricane records.
00:11:48.180
This is the biggest scandal in American history.
00:11:51.560
And when I have been saying on your show with you for three years that these lawfare Democrats better lawyer up, this is what I mean by this.
00:12:00.560
These records that are coming out show that President Obama, Vice President Biden, Hillary Clinton, the CIA, the Justice Department, including the FBI,
00:12:14.840
They made it up to help Hillary Clinton's campaign and to destroy President Trump's campaign.
00:12:21.980
And when they failed, they tried to destroy his presidency.
00:12:25.940
When he declassified these crossfire hurricane records and tried to get him out before he left office in 2021, they've tried to destroy him.
00:12:36.240
This is all an ongoing criminal conspiracy against rights, or at a minimum, much, much worse maybe, under 18 U.S.C. Section 241.
00:12:47.140
I promise you that people are going to go to prison.
00:12:54.540
Presidential immunity for Obama may apply while he's in the White House.
00:12:58.740
It certainly does not apply to President Obama when he's continuing to cover up a criminal conspiracy as the former president after he left the White House.
00:13:09.280
And I think President Trump made a big mistake in his first term by not prosecuting Hillary Clinton.
00:13:15.620
And I don't think they're going to make that mistake this time.
00:13:25.100
People I know in the intelligence area and investigative area, and Natalie's going to join us here in a moment, have said, hey, this beyond a shower of doubt, we can move very quickly.
00:13:35.040
Do you believe what you've seen so far, and the reason Grassley was so dogged on this, is that the Mar-a-Lago raid now,
00:13:41.580
you feel pretty comfortable with what you originally said, that the Mar-a-Lago raid had nothing to do with President Trump taking some classified stuff from the archives.
00:13:48.160
It was all about going down and getting information away from him.
00:13:52.620
You think that this supports what you've seen so far, and this declassification supports that?
00:13:59.640
Well, not a percent, or I wouldn't have said it.
00:14:01.660
I've been saying this for three years, and my nearly 5,000 media heads supporting and defending President Trump,
00:14:09.180
and many of them on your show, Steve, and I know I'm crazy.
00:14:15.520
I'll fully concede that, but I'm almost always right, and I know I'm right here.
00:14:23.600
She's drilled down on what's been released so far.
00:14:27.760
Also, Mike Davis had an event last night about, this is about confirmation.
00:14:31.080
This is what Mike Davis' gig for us in the first term was to do this.
00:14:42.820
And if you saw the power and energy last night at Butterworth's with Emma Bovee and Judge Janine
00:14:48.480
and people like Joe Kemp, people have just gotten confirmed.
00:14:54.700
We're going to return to the war in just a moment.
00:14:56.020
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.
00:15:18.280
As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease,
00:15:23.780
bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.
00:15:26.960
While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:15:33.420
The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.
00:15:43.700

This is free for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
00:17:12.800
I think now more than ever you need to understand the interaction of gold with currency, with fiat currency.
00:17:19.580
Capital markets, debt deficits, all of it, and we get to all that.
00:17:22.580

00:17:35.080
Number one, a very raw and tough hearing today in Kerrville.
00:17:42.100
I mean, there's got to be some answers, folks, particularly if you are a parent of one of those little girls or in the community.
00:17:49.200
We're going to spend more time on that tomorrow.
00:17:51.240
But I got to tell you, there were not a lot of great answers coming, and I think people are going to get very, very upset at what's happening down there.
00:18:01.640
I think we're going to have good news because you, this audience, are putting tons of pressure down in Texas.
00:18:09.500
And by the way, did Hakeem Jeffries go full Tea Party on us?
00:18:13.480
Did Hakeem Jeffries use the quote that when the government fears the people, there's liberty?
00:18:28.920
Hakeem Jeffries quoting kind of the Tea Party mantra.
00:18:31.640
When the government fears the people, there you have liberty.
00:18:37.740
You see what happens when you start redistricting?
00:18:39.660
You start getting down there and making things right.
00:18:45.820
Mike Davis, first off on – you're in charge of confirmations.
00:18:52.640
Last night, the energy at Butterworth, I think, even including the inauguration.
00:18:59.020
It was probably the best event I've seen because of the level of people, senior people.
00:19:07.440
Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee, the best constitutionalist, he's on here today.
00:19:15.340
And Semaphore's got what Thune wants to do, which is come back in October after they do the budget
00:19:20.440
and have some of these marginal changes that we're going to take two hours away from this.
00:19:25.580
And Mike Lee said, hey, if we were in opposition, clearly you're never going to recess.
00:19:30.160
But we control the House, the Senate, and the executive branch, it would besmirch President Trump
00:19:36.840
if we didn't actually work it out to go on – to actually go on recess and let these be recess appointments.
00:19:42.980
And then over the year, he says they would go all the way to 26, to the end of 26.
00:19:47.460
And in that year or year and a half, you would work on actually taking through the confirmation process.
00:19:52.940
Your thoughts about this is that you kind of ran this thing for us, sir.
00:20:02.720
It works two and a half days a week, and then it goes home.
00:20:07.520
They go into what's called pro forma sessions, and so they never really go into recess.
00:20:12.400
And so it's hard to do these recess appointments if you don't go into recess.
00:20:16.980
And then we're coming up on August recess, which is like a high holy month in Washington, D.C.
00:20:24.280
And the problem is you have these Senate Democrats who are obstructing everything that President Trump has tried to do.
00:20:30.920
They're not giving consent to routine things in the Senate.
00:20:35.560
They're not giving unanimous consent or voice votes, remaining no objection to just letting non-controversial nominees get confirmed.
00:20:43.720
It used to be that U.S. attorneys would get confirmed by voice votes or unanimous consent.
00:21:00.040
And so you need, in order for Thune to do that, he needs 50 Senate Republicans to agree that they're going to, God forbid, work on a Friday, maybe a Saturday or Sunday, work through August recess.
00:21:12.340
And then the Democrats' obstruction is meaningless.
00:21:16.200
And so it's amazing how many judges and other nominees you can confirm by merely threatening to make the Senate work past 2 p.m. on Thursday.
00:21:27.280
So that's what they need to do, just make the Senate work, get 50 Senate Republicans to go along with this, and then we'll get these people confirmed.
00:21:36.840
But the problem is, is that Senate Republicans want to go home as well so Thune can't get them to agree to stay in over the weekend, stay on a Friday, stay in over the weekends, stay in August recess and work.
00:21:50.600
And so that's where the Article 3 Project steps up with the War Room Posse.
00:21:54.620
If you go to Article3Project.org, Article3Project.org, and you click on Take Action, one of the action items is calling both of your home state senators, emailing them, tweeting at them, social media, and telling them to work, to stay in session and work and get these nominees confirmed.
00:22:22.820
The top right, it says, tell the Senate to stay in session and confirm President Trump's nominees.
00:22:30.400
They're going to Greece to do, you know, look at naval installations in the Greek islands.
00:22:42.720
I understand if we're in opposition to Biden or if the Democrats control the Senate and they're in opposition.
00:22:52.520
And the reason is you don't want them to have free reign to do what they want to do on these appointments.
00:22:57.940
Since you know, and we've bombarded them and we continue to do it, you know they're not going to stick around.
00:23:02.460
It's a high holy month and they're out of here.
00:23:04.500
What is it about Thune just saying, OK, we're going to go into recess and have at it, sir?
00:23:13.480
I think going into recess requires 60 votes in the Senate.
00:23:21.080
But, you know, the issue is that just keep these people in session, right?
00:23:26.120
Until they it's like they want recess, but they haven't done their homework.
00:23:34.600
If these senators need to do their job and then they need to confirm President Trump's nominees, if they confirm President Trump's nominees, then like good kindergartners, they can go on recess.
00:23:46.160
OK, sir, we're going to continue to track this because tomorrow's supposed to be the today was supposed to be.
00:24:00.560
I know we're having an impact because we've got great news coming out of Texas that we're going to get Harrison up here as soon as again.
00:24:08.000
He was there last night doing a magnificent job, but they're still coming.
00:24:12.220
I tell people, hey, if you think this fight's over, you couldn't be farther from the truth.
00:24:15.800
If I came Jeff, if we don't get those seats in Texas and in Florida and Hakeem Jeffries come speaker, impeachment's going to roll.
00:24:23.860
Look at they're just trying to destroy Rudy Giuliani and Jeff Clark, even as we speak.
00:24:29.840
And when Mike Davis puts out a tweet saying, OK, time to go to war.
00:24:42.080
What they're doing to Jeff Clark is un-American.
00:24:48.620
He drafted a legal memorandum, a legal recommendation that he did not even send.
00:24:55.340
Now the D.C. Bar, a bunch of left-wing radicals on the D.C. Bar are now disbarring Jeff Clark from the practice of law.
00:25:03.880
He is a senior official right now in the White House Office of Management and Budget.
00:25:10.040
It's called the Office of—it's OIRA, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
00:25:14.720
And it's his job to be the traffic cop for regulations across the government.
00:25:21.180
It is stunning that the D.C. Bar is continuing to go after Jeff Clark.
00:25:27.400
And so I know that Pam Bondi and her Justice Department are looking at right now all the steps that they can take to protect and defend Jeff Clark, including filing whatever needs to be filed with the D.C. Bar.
00:25:40.780
Maybe reimbursing Jeff Clark for legal fees because they tried to bankrupt him as part of his official duties in the Trump 45 Justice Department.
00:25:52.620
The Democrats did during four years of lawfare.
00:25:55.560
We're not—look, this is not the old Republican Party.
00:26:00.380
We're not going to leave dead allies on the side of the road like Jeff Clark.
00:26:06.140
And we're going to exact painful revenge for this.
00:26:08.880
Well, let's—why are we not making the people on the D.C. Bar?
00:26:14.200
Let's tell them right now we're going to make your lives miserable.
00:26:17.920
Let's get every one of their law firms like they broke the big law firms.
00:26:20.640
No law firm representing on this group that voted should have any government contracts, should have any security clearance.
00:26:27.180
Can't President—can't we just fight fire with fire?
00:26:29.440
They're not going to—it's not going to stop until you make it stop.
00:26:37.000
And for too long, we've treated it like, oh, it's just Republicans and Democrats.
00:26:42.400
They took a good man like Jeff Clark, and they're trying to destroy him.
00:26:47.720
Why don't we go after them and take their law license away?
00:26:51.760
Why don't we go to their law firm and say, guess what?
00:26:53.520
No more contracts, just like they did with Paul Weiss, just like they did with Skadden Arps.
00:26:58.640
Why don't we not—why are we not hitting these people with a blowtorch, sir?
00:27:10.980
But I don't think you can—the bar is trying to do the same thing to Rudy.
00:27:16.240
They're trying to destroy these people that stood up for this country and turned out to be right.
00:27:23.140
They're honorable men, and they're being destroyed by scumbags.
00:27:25.880
It's time now to stop playing patty cake with the scumbags.
00:27:28.840
Mike, where do people go to catch up with your social media, Article 3?
00:27:33.680
We're grinding on appointments, confirmations, redistricting, recess, all of it, sir.
00:27:44.220
He's a great friend of the Article 3 Project, and we have his back.
00:27:47.900
You can go to article3project.org, article3project.org.
00:27:56.800
The big action item is tell the Senate to end their French work week, and recess is for kids.
00:28:08.460
I think we've got a shot here at the—going into recess and actually get some recess appointments.
00:28:23.900

You know, there's ten big stories we couldn't even get to in the two hours.
00:29:44.240
And we've got, you know, and we're going to be reporting from Alaska on the Arctic Conference,
00:29:56.720
And, you know, these questions that President Trump asked at his press avail about genocide,
00:30:01.920
hey, you heard the answer about Kiev, about the Russians just unloading on Ukraine last night.
00:30:12.300
Of all this is going on, I think, and I'm asking the team to pull out a plate next,
00:30:18.080
I mean, Hakeem Jeffries actually said when the government fears the people, there you have liberty.
00:30:26.400
What do you, man, have we, I think we've messed their heads up so badly,
00:30:30.080
they don't know if they're coming or going now.
00:30:31.920
Hakeem Jeffries is down there, you know, he's not, he's down there babbling down in Texas
00:30:40.380
These are all Hispanic districts that Trump won massively.
00:30:46.800
And we're going to have Brian Harrison on here in a minute.
00:30:49.920
Natalie, so when the stuff starts coming out there, the material starts coming out,
00:30:53.060
you know, Mike Benz obviously is one of the guys you always look to.
00:30:55.580
He's putting up tweets that have like five red explanation points.
00:31:03.320
And what is, what's particularly got your attention on this, ma'am?
00:31:06.400
Well, I have to say I'm very glad you're back from partying at Butterworth.
00:31:12.300
You and Mike Davis both, there's a lot of news to get to.
00:31:16.260
I think what Senator Grassley's putting out is a prime example of that.
00:31:20.800
Also to what you guys were talking about last segment about how we can actually go after
00:31:25.080
these people, obviously terrible what they're doing to the one and only Jeff Clark.
00:31:29.440
I think this is clear evidence that we should be revoking the 501c3 status of the Open Society
00:31:35.560
Foundation, of course, belonging to George Soros.
00:31:40.720
Basically, their executive vice president, here's a name you should get familiar with,
00:31:47.660
Keep in mind, this organization has a tax-exempt status.
00:31:52.060
I would argue what we're about to dive into, frankly, isn't just politics.
00:31:56.120
It's political warfare, if not information warfare, legal warfare, media warfare, psychological
00:32:02.320
I think the Chinese Communist Party, through warfare's doctrine, probably reified to a T.
00:32:08.000
But just to sort of contextualize what we're talking about, the John Durham Annex, which
00:32:12.360
is documents basically from over a decade ago, finally being declassified.
00:32:18.740
They were found in burn bags, I guess, strewn around the FBI as discovered by Kash Patel.
00:32:23.420
But if Denver wants to put up on screen, we have sort of the overview of the emails that
00:32:29.660
I'll just read a couple sentences and then sort of analyze and help you understand why
00:32:34.660
Mike Benz and the like are so apoplectic over really what is a bombshell.
00:32:39.140
I know that word is thrown around a lot, but I think it's quite applicable here.
00:32:42.760
So this email is July 2016, coming from, like I said, the VP of the Open Society Foundation,
00:32:47.840
saying, quote, HRC, in reference to Hillary Rodham Clinton, approved Julia's idea about
00:32:54.120
Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections.
00:32:57.080
That should distract people from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes to the
00:33:02.720
The point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue.
00:33:09.140
Say something like critical infrastructure is a threat for the election.
00:33:12.500
To feel a menace since both POTUS and the VP have acknowledged that fast IC would speed
00:33:17.500
up searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable.
00:33:21.800
Now, basically every word that I read in that chain of sentences is more explosive than the
00:33:27.660
But the first line is basically admitting that this was political from the get-go, that this
00:33:32.640
was coming from the Clinton campaign, all of the Steele dossier.
00:33:36.580
But I think what the real Barry lead here and why you're seeing Mike Benz and sort of, I
00:33:42.120
think, the war room, really theory of the case when it comes to Democrat, but more precisely
00:33:46.840
establishment censorship, crackdown on election infrastructure, is the word critical infrastructure
00:33:54.340
Setting a pretext, using it as sort of this fake crisis to then justify a very robust expansion,
00:34:00.160
not just of federal government power, but particularly getting the IC involved.
00:34:07.560
If you look at a lot of the lingo, sort of the text, whether it was DHS, it was frankly,
00:34:15.180
But a lot of these global censorship operations expanded their purview over that, over content
00:34:21.420
being shared and sent on the internet, not because they thought they had jurisdiction over
00:34:26.080
speech, but because they declared misinformation or tweets that the posse was sending out about
00:34:35.140
And people may recall they actually, I believe it was, no conspiracies, no coincidences, but
00:34:39.620
January 6th of 2017, where it was under the Obama administration, where they actually changed
00:34:46.280
elections and classified them as critical infrastructure to sort of lay the groundwork for propping up
00:34:51.420
CISA, which we know really was ground zero for a lot of these censorship activities.
00:34:55.480
And when you keep reading, talking about how you can really manufacture evidence to support
00:35:00.600
the theory of this case, quote, in absence of direct evidence, CrowdStrike and ThreatConnect
00:35:06.160
will supply the media and GRU will hopefully carry on to give more facts.
00:35:11.500
I think this really dovetails with the other damning sentence that Mike Benz and all of us
00:35:16.500
have really been, I think, freaking out over, which is the idea of, quote, making the Russian
00:35:24.000
In other words, trying to get the American people to go crazy and become totally apoplectic
00:35:32.000
We're going to get into Leonard's ties to the Ukraine war, because I think there's an interesting
00:35:35.820
connection, like there always seems to be with anyone who's somehow involved in democratic
00:35:41.460
But Leonard, who, like I said, is, you know, essentially the number two, number three, he was
00:35:45.320
the acting VP when they appointed a new president over at Open Society.
00:35:49.500
If Denver wants to put these pictures up on screen, this is someone who was actively posting.
00:35:54.980
He essentially runs the Russia desk at the Open Society Foundation, but has posted a ton
00:36:00.460
in the, you know, 2014 years, 2013 kind of surrounding times about essentially fomenting
00:36:08.720
Quote, how democratic transition can unfold in Ukraine.
00:36:11.560
Quote, a reformist agenda for Ukraine can be a template for how effective and democratic
00:36:16.860
He has a lot of articles published, really honing in on Ukraine, which I think makes his
00:36:21.420
involvement with the Russia hoax all the more, frankly, sinister.
00:36:25.700
And just the last sort of point to really get to in this email, the quote, quote, Julie
00:36:30.680
says it will be a long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump.
00:36:36.920
Later, the FBI will put more oil into the fire.
00:36:41.500
Outcome is far from clear as Americans are more keen on their own woes.
00:36:44.600
And Hillary is hardly good looking as far as credibility is concerned.
00:36:48.020
Anyway, things are ghastly for U.S.-Russian relations.
00:36:52.240
Look, Steve, I think the top line assessment of this is that it's case closed.
00:36:58.340
But I think if you really do sort of a linguistic analysis and you look at the code words that
00:37:02.940
they're sort of telegraphing, whether it's making the Russia issue a play or talking about
00:37:07.580
designating things, critical infrastructure, you really can sort of, I think, reverse engineer
00:37:12.120
not just what their playbook has been on the Russia stuff, right?
00:37:15.240
As President Trump alluded to in the Oval Office when he was talking about how they want
00:37:19.040
a special counsel on all of this because it all runs together.
00:37:24.480
It's no coincidence and it's no mistake, right, that this guy is, you know, number three over
00:37:34.620
I was really doing a deep dive into his background, hosting a ton of, you know, creepy, weird town
00:37:39.420
halls and webinars with Bill de Blasio's wife, Maya Wiley, make that make sense, accusing
00:37:45.240
President Trump of spreading, quote, you know, lies of disinformation, misinformation.
00:37:50.480
That's not the correct picture to be putting up on screen, I digress, but there's a lot
00:38:00.200
What I find amazing is what you and Ben's and people that have been working on for years
00:38:05.980
as this becomes, as it becomes, we see the revelation, so you can actually see the hard
00:38:14.200
I mean, it's not hidden from us on what they tried to do.
00:38:17.040
Now, this is the supporting documents you need in their own words, sent from their own
00:38:21.740
email accounts, and you understand why they've tried to hide this, and why a guy like Grassley,
00:38:26.020
who's like a bulldog, it's taken three years to do it, and it's even taken, you know, seven
00:38:30.540
months in the, or seven or eight months in the Trump administration.
00:38:35.000
Do you feel pretty comfortable what we're seeing plays along the lines of the work that
00:38:40.480
yourself and Mike Benz and so many others have been doing in pursuing this?
00:38:47.480
I mean, look, I think that this is another incident where you're going to have a bunch
00:38:50.480
of people coming probably, you know, five years from now, hopefully if we can actually
00:38:54.440
get real accountability with criminal charges, the timeline on that will be significantly
00:38:58.880
But people saying, oh, you know what, you guys were right about Joe Biden's mental health.
00:39:04.300
Maybe, you know, Jake Tapper's going to write a special book on the Russia hoax a year from
00:39:08.880
But what the difference is, right, Steve, about what you have at play here, and I think you
00:39:12.640
really get to the core issues in those two sentences that I really highlighted.
00:39:16.600
One is the opportunity cost, frankly, from a national security and identifying the real
00:39:21.580
enemy, which isn't always has been the Chinese Communist Party perspective of focusing so
00:39:26.180
much and allocating not just, I mean, kinetic resources, but just time and think tanks and
00:39:33.140
swampy resources to fighting and fomenting this anti-Russian hatred, not because Russia's
00:39:38.060
so great, but it pulls us away, not just from Indo-PACOM, but from focusing, right, on
00:39:44.260
And I think that's probably the largest opportunity cost.
00:39:46.760
So when, you know, the PRC has effectively seized all of our rare earths and they effectively
00:39:51.160
run this country, right, with their unrestricted warfare tactics, I'm so glad that we have a
00:39:55.820
really robust Atlantic Council that can issue all these white papers about how bad Russia
00:40:00.740
You know, that's not really going to matter when you can't publish because China overtakes
00:40:04.020
the Atlantic Council more than they already do.
00:40:06.520
But I think the other really key point, and I think you see it like I was saying, it's
00:40:13.300
I think the sort of kinetic action of it is this idea of them saying, oh, let's make, you
00:40:18.980
know, this, let's designate misinformation or mean speech critical infrastructure, let's
00:40:27.180
It's the idea fundamentally that what they have done abroad, whether it's the nation building
00:40:31.380
in the Middle East, fomenting the color revolutions across Eastern Europe, that fundamentally
00:40:40.200
They were doing it to fine tune and essentially practice for what they wanted to do here, so
00:40:46.520
much to the point that you got Cheney's involved on, you know, both sides of the trade.
00:40:49.900
Liz Cheney tried to do it with Jan 6, just like her father tried to do with the Iraq war.
00:40:56.520
And I think the other big takeaway, too, is that this is the difference of MAGA, and I
00:41:01.840
would cross-apply it to Epstein and all of whatever scandal it may be.
00:41:06.920
Old guard Republicans are fine thinking that accountability can be found in, you know, releasing
00:41:11.840
documents and putting out tweets and going on Fox.
00:41:17.360
But if that rhetoric is not matched with action, then I don't care.
00:41:20.920
You're just insulting my intelligence, so I think we have an opportunity on a silver platter
00:41:25.660
to really establish our, you know, shall we say MAGA bona fides and actually do something.
00:41:32.940
They put thousands of patriots in jail for non-crimes.
00:41:37.600
If we can't even seal the deal on this, I don't even want to hear the tough talk about
00:41:45.420
We have the declassified information on our side.
00:41:47.840
I think it's incredibly frustrating that there hasn't been more actual movement and not
00:41:57.580
I tell people, hey, if you don't stick the landing here and you don't actually see indictments
00:42:01.240
and perp walks and serious indictments for the real crimes here and a serious prosecution
00:42:08.440
team or really a strike force made up of, I don't care if it's independent counsel, special
00:42:12.980
counsel, some person from an Eastern District or whatever that's assigned full-time, Judge
00:42:20.200
But somebody that's damn serious about this and putting together an all-star team because
00:42:27.720
I'm going to come back tomorrow and talk about, you know, besides you and Posobiec and Benz
00:42:35.000
and Cernovich and a handful of others, there's not a lot of guidance coming out of the White
00:42:39.420
You have President Trump coming up with these true socials, but you don't see an organized
00:42:43.740
really, you don't see an organized media campaign on this.
00:42:47.920
And that's got to be, it's got to be something we have to talk about.
00:42:52.100
Natalie, for now, where do people go for your social media, ma'am?
00:42:54.720
Natalie G. Winters, until next time, thank you so much for having me.
00:43:03.600
Just made your job harder at the White House, but hey, you're a tough kid.
00:43:08.900
No, this has got to be, you have to have the framing and kind of the narrative drive.
00:43:14.460
President Trump's putting out some amazing true socials and people putting up great tweets
00:43:18.540
that go through this, but it needs to be organized, as they say in Taxi Driver.
00:43:26.960
Too late, pal, decided it was too early to lower rates.
00:43:31.020
We're going to ask our own Philip Patrick his thoughts next in The War Room.
00:43:35.040
If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.
00:43:38.520
In today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles with more ease than ever,
00:43:48.220
Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay small fee with
00:43:54.240
your county, and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name.
00:43:59.560
Then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property.
00:44:03.880
You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or foreclosure notice.
00:44:09.600
So let me ask you, when was the last time you personally checked your home title?
00:44:16.720
If you're like me, the answer is never, and that's exactly what scammers are counting on.
00:44:25.680

00:45:28.520
The president is not in a good frame of mind right now, Philip Patrick, because too late
00:45:36.600
We know now, we've done the analytics, that the interest rates are at least 100 basis points
00:45:40.840
too high, given every type of analysis of the natural gravity of where interest rates
00:45:50.920
Do you think it's just because Trump humiliated him at the Federal Reserve?
00:46:02.660
Since the Fed was established, right, their mandate is 2% inflation.
00:46:06.640
They've averaged 4% inflation since inception, right?
00:46:09.800
So from that perspective alone, it's time to lower rates.
00:46:16.780
They've proven by their actions, are perfectly acceptable for the last 100 years.
00:46:26.380
And they're ignoring the elephant in the room, which is an economy desperately in need
00:46:30.640
of a growth boom and huge refinancing costs on the national debt.
00:46:34.540
But I think the problem with the Fed is it's bigger than one sort of single rate cut, right?
00:46:40.900
The question is, have they even been an effective institution since establishment at all?
00:46:48.880
Look at their dual mandates, price stability, which they define as 2% inflation.
00:46:53.920
Well, as we know, they've averaged double that since inception.
00:46:57.760
Prior to the establishment of the Fed from 1790 to 1913, inflation averaged one-tenth of that.
00:47:04.280
So they've failed massively at price stability.
00:47:07.100
Then we've got maximum employment, which is identified strangely as the lowest employment
00:47:12.420
rate that doesn't create inflationary pressures.
00:47:14.640
But for the Fed, historically, 4% has been the sweet spot.
00:47:19.220
Since 1948, 5.7% has been the average, over 50% above their goal.
00:47:27.840
What about the big unspoken mandate, moderating business cycles?
00:47:37.060
Prior to the Fed, we had a recession once every six years on average.
00:47:40.860
They were sharp, but the recoveries were equally sharp.
00:47:44.640
Today, in this climate since the Fed, six-year average as well.
00:47:51.000
Think the Great Depression, stagflationary climate of the 70s, 08.

Economic volatility has increased by 50% since the Fed was founded.
00:48:05.940
The swings in GDP are wider now than they were before the Fed existed.
00:48:10.840
So instead of putting business cycles on cruise control, they're stomping on the gas,
00:48:18.000
And each time the Fed steps in with rate cuts and money printing, they're creating the next
00:48:26.280
So by every possible metric, the Fed has completely failed to deliver on its mission.
00:48:31.540
And the sort of icing on the cake, they are completely unaccountable to Congress or the
00:48:38.340
There is no recourse that elected officials can pursue.
00:48:42.140
Listen, if the army does a bad job, we fire a general, right?
00:48:45.240
If Secretary Besant started bouncing checks in the Treasury Department, Trump would throw
00:48:52.080
The Fed, they've overseen 40-year high inflation.
00:48:58.900
By every single measure, the Fed have done a terrible job.
00:49:02.460
Now, are they entirely responsible for the situation we're in today?
00:49:10.700
They have spent two decades inflating bubbles, running up debt, hollowing out our industrial
00:49:17.880
And now rates are finally honest for the first time in, what, 25 years, right?
00:49:24.800
And the whole system is cracking under the weight.
00:49:27.480
Look, the Fed didn't create the disaster alone, but they are absolutely complicit.
00:49:36.520
I howled when the Fed cut interest rates just before the election.
00:49:44.800
We are forced as Americans to choose between an unimaginable debt burden or calculated dollar
00:49:51.220
You could certainly put Powell on trial for this, but you should also put Yellen, Bernanke
00:49:56.580
and Greenspan on the stand as well, because they are all equally culpable.
00:50:06.100
And it will not go away on its own without action.
00:50:09.680
Well, this is what Scott Besson is saying as Secretary of Treasury about a total rethink.
00:50:15.980
It will be interesting to see what happens in Jackson Hole.
00:50:18.940

Just blow out numbers supporting Trump on this.
00:51:13.520
Is this thing going to get passed down there, sir?
00:51:16.880
I mean, quite frankly, my position is that it should have been passed already.
00:51:19.340
And the Democrats, the national Democrats know exactly what's on the line.
00:51:26.260
It's the future of the United States of America is on the line.
00:51:30.680
Quite frankly, we should have done this in the in a regular session.
00:51:33.340
We're already almost halfway through the special session.
00:51:36.020
Hakeem Jeffries flew from Washington, D.C. last night to huddle up with the Democrats
00:51:40.160
in the Texas House last evening to encourage them to do everything they can to thwart
00:51:45.120
President Trump and the Republican agenda down here in the state of Texas.
00:51:49.140
So as far as I'm concerned, the elected Republican leadership in the state of Texas needs to wake
00:51:54.280
up, realize what time it is in America and get this map passed and get it passed right
