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.
00:01:05.580 What's the truth?
00:01:06.820 What's happening?
00:01:07.780 What did you see in the documents?
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.
00:03:13.920 And now we know none of that was true.
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.
00:03:35.680 It's just passing the buck.
00:03:37.340 That's what's going on here.
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.
00:04:00.460 And this is what I asked the mayor about.
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?
00:04:34.260 He said he missed that email.
00:04:36.320 Take a listen to some of what else he said to me.
00:04:39.520 And I did not receive a telephone call.
00:04:44.220 I did receive an invitation.
00:04:45.580 Okay.
00:04:46.240 Which I've said, I wish I'd have seen it, but I didn't see it.
00:04:48.720 You didn't see the invitation.
00:04:50.080 I did not.
00:04:50.520 Your emails that were released, you saw them.
00:04:52.860 They were there.
00:04:54.000 It was at 1 a.m. that you got an email.
00:04:56.480 At 1 a.m.?
00:04:57.240 Yeah.
00:04:57.800 I didn't know that.
00:04:58.480 From the Texas Department of Emergency Management saying that there'd be a call at 10 a.m.
00:05:03.680 Okay.
00:05:04.880 I didn't see those emails.
00:05:05.920 I'm sorry.
00:05:06.620 And then later in the day, they sent an email with the decks.
00:05:11.040 Right.
00:05:11.320 I think it was like in the afternoon.
00:05:12.720 Right.
00:05:13.120 And you review those.
00:05:14.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
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?
00:05:23.700 I mean...
00:05:23.900 I would have been on the call.
00:05:26.880 I take responsibility for missing the email.
00:05:29.300 I do.
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
00:06:04.040 Management.
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.
00:06:13.440 None of the officials.
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.
00:06:27.420 I'm going to wrap with this.
00:06:28.400 He said, that's fine.
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?
00:06:39.600 And that remains still a big question.
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.
00:07:12.900 That is wrong.
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,
00:07:32.320 there is tyranny.
00:07:35.240 But when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
00:07:40.120 So this fight is not over.
00:07:41.880 It's just beginning.
00:07:43.360 Yeah, it could make a huge difference.
00:07:45.020 This, in fact, could win or maintain control for the Republicans in the House of Representatives.
00:07:49.920 What are you talking about?
00:07:50.540 Well, Texas has 38 congressional districts.
00:07:52.600 Look at those that Trump won last year by at least 10 percentage points.
00:07:56.460 Under the current lines, it's 25.
00:07:58.360 Under the proposed lines, it's 30.
00:08:00.340 That's one, two, three, four, five.
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?
00:08:17.620 You might think five seats is just five seats.
00:08:19.980 But keep in mind this.
00:08:21.660 Margins are spared for the House majority.
00:08:23.480 In 2020, the Democrats had four seats.
00:08:26.220 2022, Republicans had four seats.
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.
00:08:51.820 Exactly right.
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.
00:09:12.060 That's nearly a 30-point switcheroo.
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?
00:09:25.620 Thursday, 31 July, year of our Lord, 2025.
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.
00:09:36.720 Is he dropping truth bombs right there?
00:09:38.320 A 30-point shift.
00:09:39.880 Four of the five pickups are Hispanic, big Hispanic concentrations and majorities,
00:09:46.380 and two of them are down there.
00:09:48.280 Where you heard this, in the Rio Grande Valley, folks.
00:09:51.380 So they're focused on this.
00:09:52.880 We've got so much to go through.
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,
00:10:28.580 but he went off on Grassley.
00:10:29.980 But Grassley showed what a bulldog he is three years.
00:10:34.140 And you know how relentless he can be.
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.
00:10:46.600 Tell us about Grassley, the man, sir.
00:10:48.300 I worked for Senator Chuck Grassley twice.
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.
00:11:01.900 I talked to Senator Grassley yesterday.
00:11:05.080 I talked to him today.
00:11:05.860 He is the same man he has been for, what, 65 years in politics?
00:11:10.860 And he's never lost an election.
00:11:15.500 He is dogged.
00:11:16.780 He is determined.
00:11:18.180 He is principled.
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,
00:12:11.800 they made up the Russian collusion hoax.
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.
00:12:35.080 This is all coming out.
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.
00:12:49.900 So that's going to happen.
00:12:52.220 Nobody is above the law.
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.
00:13:17.720 We're going to go to break.
00:13:22.200 You know Grassley.
00:13:23.160 You know how dogged he is.
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.
00:14:20.780 Okay, we're going to take a short break.
00:14:22.520 Natalie Winters is with us.
00:14:23.600 She's drilled down on what's been released so far.
00:14:26.340 Mike Davis is going to stick with us.
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.
00:14:36.520 We had Mike Lee on today.
00:14:38.020 Are they going to go home?
00:14:39.180 Are they going to agree to Mike Lee's plan?
00:14:40.600 Are they going to give us a recess of points?
00:14:41.740 We've got to get these people.
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.
00:14:51.840 President Trump needs his team.
00:14:53.340 Short commercial break.
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.
00:15:15.820 They're calling this the Rio Reset.
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.

00:17:29.260 We're working on the eighth and ninth installment, free installment of end of the dollar empire right now.
00:17:33.320 A couple of things.
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.
00:17:47.680 A very raw and very tough.
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.
00:17:58.060 I want to get to – oh, we got an update.
00:18:00.300 We're trying to get Brian Harris up 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.
00:18:07.280 You saw Hakeem Jeffries down there.
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?
00:18:19.240 Hakeem, my man, get him a Gadsden flag.
00:18:23.480 What the hell?
00:18:24.260 Whoa, bro.
00:18:25.740 I love that.
00:18:27.860 Incredible.
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.
00:18:35.580 Right on.
00:18:36.500 Man, that's not too shabby.
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.
00:18:42.120 They start freaking out.
00:18:44.020 Good news on that.
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.
00:19:03.340 But there were people getting confirmed.
00:19:05.220 Trump's team is coming together.
00:19:07.440 Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee, the best constitutionalist, he's on here today.
00:19:11.880 And he's saying, look, my plan is 150 guys.
00:19:14.240 We stick around.
00:19:14.900 We do it.
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.
00:19:24.180 That's not going to work.
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.
00:19:55.780 I would say this.
00:19:58.580 The Senate needs to end its French work week.
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.
00:20:49.080 That has stopped happening.
00:20:51.160 They're objecting to every one of these.
00:20:53.240 So I would say this.
00:20:55.040 You don't need to change these rules.
00:20:57.100 You just need to keep the Senate working.
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.
00:22:16.600 That's how you get through this obstruction.
00:22:20.960 It's the top right one there.
00:22:22.820 The top right, it says, tell the Senate to stay in session and confirm President Trump's nominees.
00:22:28.240 But they've got their CODELs.
00:22:30.400 They're going to Greece to do, you know, look at naval installations in the Greek islands.
00:22:35.720 You know the deal.
00:22:36.380 They're out of here.
00:22:37.880 What is it?
00:22:38.580 It's Thune's call.
00:22:40.560 He's saying they don't trust President Trump.
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.
00:22:47.780 I got it.
00:22:48.260 You don't go into recess, technical recess.
00:22:51.260 You stay pro forma.
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.
00:22:57.000 What is the logic?
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?
00:23:09.840 That's a good question.
00:23:10.720 I have to go back and remember this.
00:23:13.480 I think going into recess requires 60 votes in the Senate.
00:23:18.900 They don't have 60 votes, obviously.
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.
00:23:30.080 They haven't like they haven't earned recess.
00:23:32.140 Recess is for kids, right?
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.
00:23:53.800 I think tomorrow's going to be the last day.
00:23:55.080 We still got time to make calls.
00:23:56.220 Go to Bill Blaster, Article three.
00:23:58.080 Let's light people up.
00:23:59.300 You're having an impact.
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.
00:24:05.680 Mike Davis.
00:24:06.340 Last thing, Jeff Clark, the great warrior.
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.
00:24:22.320 Indictment'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.
00:24:28.600 What happened to Jeff Clark today?
00:24:29.840 And when Mike Davis puts out a tweet saying, OK, time to go to war.
00:24:33.680 What do you mean?
00:24:34.860 I said this is BS and I didn't use BS.
00:24:37.360 I used a more Mike Davis term for it.
00:24:39.700 And I said, this is time to go to war.
00:24:42.080 What they're doing to Jeff Clark is un-American.
00:24:45.900 He was a Justice Department official.
00:24:48.620 He drafted a legal memorandum, a legal recommendation that he did not even send.
00:24:54.200 He merely drafted it.
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.
00:25:59.400 This is the Trump Party.
00:26:00.380 We're not going to leave dead allies on the side of the road like Jeff Clark.
00:26:04.840 That's not going to happen.
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.
00:26:16.520 Let's get them disbarred.
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.
00:26:26.160 Can't we just do that?
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.
00:26:32.980 These people are not reasonable.
00:26:34.760 They're not rational.
00:26:36.000 They're not good people.
00:26:37.000 And for too long, we've treated it like, oh, it's just Republicans and Democrats.
00:26:40.780 Those days are over.
00:26:42.400 They took a good man like Jeff Clark, and they're trying to destroy him.
00:26:45.080 Why don't we destroy him back?
00:26:46.420 I'm down for it.
00:26:47.720 Why don't we go after them and take their law license away?
00:26:50.660 Why don't we bankrupt them?
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?
00:27:01.700 Sounds like a good idea, Steve.
00:27:04.380 So, duly noted.
00:27:06.040 Okay, good.
00:27:06.520 We'll talk after the show.
00:27:07.840 We'll take off the show.
00:27:09.320 We'll make some—we'll exchange some notes.
00:27:10.980 But I don't think you can—the bar is trying to do the same thing to Rudy.
00:27:14.440 New York and New York City and in D.C.
00:27:16.240 They're trying to destroy these people that stood up for this country and turned out to be right.
00:27:21.520 That's the thing.
00:27:22.100 They 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?
00:27:32.220 Oh, we've got a lot of work.
00:27:33.680 We're grinding on appointments, confirmations, redistricting, recess, all of it, sir.
00:27:42.160 Yeah, so Jeff Clark is a good friend.
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.
00:27:52.500 You can donate there.
00:27:54.320 Follow us on social media.
00:27:56.100 Take action.
00:27:56.800 The big action item is tell the Senate to end their French work week, and recess is for kids.
00:28:05.460 Thank you, Mike Davis.
00:28:07.420 We'll come back to you afterwards.
00:28:08.460 I think we've got a shot here at the—going into recess and actually get some recess appointments.
00:28:13.220 It's going to have to happen.
00:28:14.020 Short commercial break.
00:28:15.120 Natalie, Philip Patrick, next in the war room.

00:29:36.840 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:39.300 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,
00:29:48.920 CLIOS in the islands out in the Far Pacific.
00:29:54.060 We've got AI.
00:29:55.400 We've got so much recovering.
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.
00:30:10.120 A really amazing answer there.
00:30:12.300 Of all this is going on, I think, and I'm asking the team to pull out a plate next,
00:30:16.320 Hakeem Jeffries is based now.
00:30:18.080 I mean, Hakeem Jeffries actually said when the government fears the people, there you have liberty.
00:30:24.080 Yo, that's like Waco.
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
00:30:37.140 because they're about to get steamrolled.
00:30:38.580 You heard Harry Enten.
00:30:40.380 These are all Hispanic districts that Trump won massively.
00:30:44.800 So it's just absolutely incredible.
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.
00:31:00.320 What's going on?
00:31:02.080 What have you seen so far?
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.
00:31:39.080 Why do I say that?
00:31:40.720 Basically, their executive vice president, here's a name you should get familiar with,
00:31:45.580 Leonard Bernardo.
00:31:47.660 Keep in mind, this organization has a tax-exempt status.
00:31:50.680 They say they're not political.
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
00:32:01.520 warfare.
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
00:32:28.720 we can read.
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
00:33:01.600 Olympic level.
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
00:33:27.100 next.
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
00:33:52.800 being used here, right?
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.
00:34:06.000 Why do I say that?
00:34:07.560 If you look at a lot of the lingo, sort of the text, whether it was DHS, it was frankly,
00:34:13.320 it was why CISA was created.
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
00:34:31.920 the 2020 election as critical infrastructure.
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
00:35:20.940 play a U.S. domestic issue.
00:35:24.000 In other words, trying to get the American people to go crazy and become totally apoplectic
00:35:29.600 over all things Russia, Russia, Russia.
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
00:35:40.580 politics.
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
00:36:06.560 color revolutions in Ukraine.
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
00:36:15.500 transition can unfold.
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.
00:36:34.460 Now it is good for a post-convention bounce.
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.
00:36:55.640 Obviously, this was fake, right?
00:36:56.920 It's clearly political.
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.
00:37:22.180 It's the same people.
00:37:23.460 It's the same tactics.
00:37:24.480 It's no coincidence and it's no mistake, right, that this guy is, you know, number three over
00:37:30.200 at George Soros' foundation.
00:37:32.080 He's busy, by the way, into the 2020 election.
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
00:37:55.760 to unpack here.
00:37:56.480 So that's my top line assessment.
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
00:38:10.620 print.
00:38:12.800 Everybody's been pretty close.
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?
00:38:45.100 Well, of course.
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
00:38:58.160 sped up.
00:38:58.880 But people saying, oh, you know what, you guys were right about Joe Biden's mental health.
00:39:03.040 He always was super crazy.
00:39:04.300 Maybe, you know, Jake Tapper's going to write a special book on the Russia hoax a year from
00:39:08.540 now.
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
00:39:31.200 different sort of, you know, just D.C.
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
00:39:43.160 all things China.
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
00:40:00.160 is.
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
00:40:10.480 the pattern recognition on every single issue.
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
00:40:23.460 designate elections critical infrastructure.
00:40:25.480 That's third world tactics, right?
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
00:40:36.240 they weren't doing that altruistically.
00:40:38.540 We know that, look at the death counts.
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.
00:40:53.920 So that's the fundamental premise here.
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.
00:41:15.140 MAGA loves the rhetoric.
00:41:16.480 That's great.
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.
00:41:30.940 They put you in jail for a non-crime.
00:41:32.940 They put thousands of patriots in jail for non-crimes.
00:41:36.120 We have actual 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
00:41:41.320 the 2020 election.
00:41:42.580 Let's actually do something.
00:41:43.780 We got the facts and truth on our side.
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
00:41:52.600 just happy talk on this.
00:41:56.620 I agree with you.
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
00:42:18.900 Janine, you pick them.
00:42:20.200 But somebody that's damn serious about this and putting together an all-star team because
00:42:24.020 this is everything.
00:42:26.380 Natalie, what's your social media?
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
00:42:39.180 House.
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.
00:42:46.780 You just don't.
00:42:47.920 And that's got to be, it's got to be something we have to talk about.
00:42:50.860 We'll do it tomorrow.
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.
00:43:01.620 Fantastic, ma'am.
00:43:02.340 Thank you so much.
00:43:03.600 Just made your job harder at the White House, but hey, you're a tough kid.
00:43:07.340 You'll figure it out.
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.
00:43:23.360 Philip Patrick, guess what?
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,

00:43:54.240 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.

00:45:23.520 Most importantly, you get access to Philip Patrick and his team at Birch Gold, so do it today.
00:45:28.520 The president is not in a good frame of mind right now, Philip Patrick, because too late
00:45:34.180 Powell did not lower rates.
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
00:45:45.920 should be.
00:45:46.980 Your thoughts, sir?
00:45:48.080 Do you think this is just spite now?
00:45:49.520 They're getting ready to go to Jackson Hole.
00:45:50.920 Do you think it's just because Trump humiliated him at the Federal Reserve?
00:45:54.280 It's about the bank and the overruns.
00:45:55.780 Do you think he's just dug in now, sir?
00:45:58.360 That's what it feels like.
00:45:59.780 It absolutely does.
00:46:01.100 Think about it from this perspective.
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.
00:46:13.300 We're at 2.7% CPI, well below the number.
00:46:16.780 They've proven by their actions, are perfectly acceptable for the last 100 years.
00:46:22.420 But now President Trump's in office.
00:46:24.260 Obviously, it's an issue.
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?
00:46:46.500 And the answer is not really, right?
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.
00:47:25.340 So they're failing at unemployment as well.
00:47:27.840 What about the big unspoken mandate, moderating business cycles?
00:47:32.260 Do we still have booms and busts?
00:47:34.140 The answer is absolutely yes.
00:47:35.680 And the numbers prove it, right?
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.
00:47:48.640 But crashes are now bigger and more dangerous.
00:47:51.000 Think the Great Depression, stagflationary climate of the 70s, 08.
00:47:55.340 They all happened under the Fed's watch.
00:47:57.880 What about GDP?
00:47:59.400 Economic volatility has increased by 50% since the Fed was founded.
00:48:03.860 That means bigger booms and bigger busts.
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,
00:48:15.540 slamming on the brakes over and over again.
00:48:18.000 And each time the Fed steps in with rate cuts and money printing, they're creating the next
00:48:22.260 bubble.
00:48:22.880 That's not moderation.
00:48:24.020 It's pouring gasoline on the fire.
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
00:48:37.240 president, right?
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
00:48:50.140 him out on his ear, right?
00:48:52.080 The Fed, they've overseen 40-year high inflation.
00:48:56.240 And what can we do?
00:48:57.440 Absolutely nothing at all.
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?
00:49:06.140 Of course not.
00:49:07.620 But they are co-conspirators without question.
00:49:10.700 They have spent two decades inflating bubbles, running up debt, hollowing out our industrial
00:49:16.060 base and exporting inflation.
00:49:17.880 And now rates are finally honest for the first time in, what, 25 years, right?
00:49:23.220 Interest rates are above.
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.
00:49:34.300 Jerome Powell is complicit, right?
00:49:36.520 I howled when the Fed cut interest rates just before the election.
00:49:41.280 The situation we are in today is a disaster.
00:49:44.800 We are forced as Americans to choose between an unimaginable debt burden or calculated dollar
00:49:50.300 devaluation.
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.
00:50:00.900 This isn't a Powell problem.
00:50:02.200 It is so much bigger than that.
00:50:04.360 It is an institutional problem.
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 Where do people go to get your thinking on this, Philip?
00:50:21.360 I can already tell from the chat, people are very engaged and want to know your thoughts
00:50:25.660 about the direction of this and also your thoughts about gold as a hedge against all
00:50:30.060 of this, sir.
00:50:30.500 Very simple, birchgold.com forward slash Bannon.
00:50:34.780 That'll get them all the information they need on precious metals, how and why in this
00:50:39.240 economy.
00:50:40.160 And they can get access to end of the dollar empire reports there as well.
00:50:44.700 And they can reach me directly at Philip Patrick on Geller.
00:50:51.840 Philip Patrick, thank you so much.
00:50:53.540 Appreciate you coming on.
00:50:55.660 Big news coming out of Texas.
00:50:56.940 Let's go right to Brian Harrison.
00:50:58.380 Brian, we've got a couple of minutes.
00:50:59.260 We want to hold you through the break and take you to the top of the hour.
00:51:02.240 Just can you give us the top line?
00:51:03.800 Hakeem Jeffries down there today.
00:51:05.280 They know they got a problem.
00:51:06.380 Harry Enten's talking about the polling.
00:51:08.140 Just blow out numbers supporting Trump on this.
00:51:11.300 What's the latest?
00:51:12.100 Are we actually going to get a vote?
00:51:13.520 Is this thing going to get passed down there, sir?
00:51:15.960 Well, it needs to get passed.
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.
00:51:22.660 And that's the future.
00:51:23.520 And this is not this is not tongue in cheek.
00:51:25.460 It's not hyperbole.
00:51:26.260 It's the future of the United States of America is on the line.
00:51:29.060 Texas should be leading.
