Rule of dawn is making its mark on our government already in the seven months since Donald Trump
00:00:06.060
took office, especially this summer, where we have seen power grabs, actual, not figurative,
00:00:13.380
actual power grabs by the Trump administration at every level and everywhere we look.
00:00:19.320
Let's just tick through what's happened in the last couple of weeks. National Guard troops are
00:00:23.940
now actively deployed in our nation's capital, ones that, as of this week, are now armed. Multiple
00:00:30.760
officials have been fired for not giving Donald Trump exactly the data or the answers or the
00:00:37.940
responses he wants, the latest of whom being the CDC director, who wasn't in line with the HHS
00:00:44.720
secretary enough. Donald Trump rolled out an actual red carpet and built a blue platform to stand on
00:00:53.240
together next to a world leader well known to be a vicious dictator and wanted for war crimes by the
00:01:00.400
ICC. Trump has floated stopping states from voting by mail and from using voting machines. And that's
00:01:07.920
just a few. It would take the whole hour to go through all of them. This morning, a hearing is
00:01:12.760
now set for 10 a.m. this morning in Washington, D.C., after Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook filed a
00:01:18.900
lawsuit against President Trump, claiming that his attempt to remove her from her position is
00:01:24.060
unlawful. She's asking to remain an active member of the board in her lawsuit, which also names the
00:01:30.420
Fed's Board of Governors and chair Jerome Powell as defendants. Cook describes her ouster as
00:01:35.740
unprecedented and illegal. The filing argues that the president does not have the power to unilaterally
00:01:42.060
redefine cause, completely unmoored to case law, history and tradition and conclude without evidence
00:01:48.980
that he has found it. Trump has accused Cook of mortgage fraud, but she has not been charged
00:01:54.540
with a crime. Citizens are now at the mercy of a rogue, highly incompetent group of individuals
00:02:01.380
who don't at the end of the day, in my estimation, have the health care of the American people in mind.
00:02:06.260
To Vaughn's point, you've got young kids who are going to be going to school this fall,
00:02:10.600
already started, and we've already seen pockets of measles exploding around the country.
00:02:17.380
You think that's not going to get worse? Of course it is. And yet, we don't have the vaccines to
00:02:23.140
protect the kids. What the hell are we doing as a country now where we have dumbed down medical care
00:02:28.980
to the point where the idiocracy is telling smart scientists they don't know what they're doing?
00:02:34.940
Yeah, I can't speak to all of that, but I can say that, you know,
00:02:44.840
It is a global, preeminent public health agency, and I have been here for 30 years. I've worked with
00:02:53.500
multiple different administrations. I am willing, was willing to work with this administration,
00:02:59.340
but I find that the transparency is not there and the possibility that the information that comes out
00:03:06.960
from the secretary over the next several weeks will be something that I will not be able to support
00:03:13.400
and that the American public will have to call into question. And so that's some place,
00:03:18.060
that's a place I've never been before. I don't like being in that place, but I do want everyone to know
00:03:23.760
that, American people to know that CDC should be the place where you get your information,
00:03:29.580
where you find out how to protect yourself, to get the recommendations. And if we're not able to do
00:03:35.740
that, we'll have to find some other way. This is why none of these a-holes can lecture anyone on
00:03:41.920
compassion. The most compassionate people on this planet are trying to stop the trans delusion.
00:03:49.120
The least compassionate are the people in the media, academia, and politicians who enabled this
00:03:55.080
hysteria of horror. What is so glaring about the trans cult, apparently your identity is the only
00:04:01.060
thing that matters until you do something awful. Then it's the least important variable. Then you look
00:04:06.840
at everything else. You talk about guns, but you suddenly, it's all of a sudden like, oh, we can't talk
00:04:13.200
about that. What was it? The other trans shooter that they actually hid her identity. In this manifesto
00:04:20.560
that this creep wrote, he said he was tired of being trans and that he had wished he had never
00:04:26.780
brainwashed himself. What more do you need straight from the monster's mouth? Politicians, activists,
00:04:34.360
teachers, you built this. You could have listened to the warnings. We were talking about this on this
00:04:39.940
show for years. You amplified a hysterical, a hysterical, literally hysterical phenomenon
00:04:47.200
that was going no place good. You created a poisonous program that twisted young minds for
00:04:53.020
destruction. A nihilistic place to be when you deny biology and they have nowhere to go. So all of these
00:04:59.780
media arguments, what you're seeing there among those people, it's to escape their own culpability
00:05:04.600
and the reality that they created. So forget the layer of mental illness and gun control. The origin
00:05:10.180
of the evil, the evil lies in the creation of a mindset that indulged a delusional self ruining
00:05:17.940
connections with fellow human beings. So that trans by ascribing extreme aggrieved mentality then gets
00:05:26.120
directed against society. So this person feels justified in killing children. His killing resulted from
00:05:34.540
that ideology. And if you don't believe that you're one dumb asshole, Trump and his supporters, you know,
00:05:41.500
Vance says this all the time. They constantly put this line, push this line that you either care about
00:05:45.280
Americans or you care about immigrants, not both. But it's racist garbage. We're an interconnected society of
00:05:52.980
human beings who depend on each other to survive and thrive. And there's not some neat line you can cleave
00:05:57.540
between Americans and foreigners. We just have neighbors and communities. Trump world says that's bunk, that there's
00:06:03.540
just two sides. Trump world says that to make America great again, you need armed federal officers roaming
00:06:09.540
streets and businesses and Home Depot parking lots in search of people that disappear. And now raids on
00:06:15.640
camps of firefighters as they literally battle the largest wildfire in the American Northwest.
00:06:22.820
Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller and their ilk are going to burn the country to the ground
00:06:28.260
if that's what it takes so they can rule over the ashes.
00:06:31.760
Friday, 29 August, year of our Lord, 2025. We are so jammed today. We're not even going to do the
00:06:39.440
show open after that great cold open. We are absolutely packed. And our first couple of guests
00:06:46.100
are frontline warriors, Mike Davis, Christina, Bob, Brandon Strachan. I want to bring in the Viceroy,
00:06:51.540
Mike Davis first. Mike, I want to pull the camera back in a minute and give, you're the Viceroy,
00:06:59.340
give us the battlefield of all these important decisions that have been done about President
00:07:04.900
Trump's Article II powers. But I got to start with, we're in court right now, of which Mike Davis has
00:07:11.460
informed me, at least through his Twitter feed, is one of the most important things we're fighting on.
00:07:16.180
This is Lisa Cook, the governor of the Federal Reserve, now has, I guess, three potential felonies
00:07:23.520
for not understanding how to do a mortgage or kind of doing three-card money. But you're saying it's
00:07:28.620
more important. All the media has jumped on. Trump wants the majority control of the Fed governors.
00:07:33.020
You're saying something quite different. You've been out there saying, hey, if he can't fire her,
00:07:39.240
if the President of the United States cannot let her go for these activities for a cause,
00:07:43.500
then the whole Federal Reserve structure is unconstitutional and must be just taken apart
00:07:49.600
and rethought. Mike Davis, let's start there, sir. Yeah, so Lisa Cook is one of the seven governors
00:07:57.200
on the Federal Reserve Board. She got caught with her hand in the cookie jar three times. There is
00:08:03.840
very strong evidence presented by Bill Pulte, one of Trump's housing finance leads, that Lisa Cook
00:08:12.340
committed mortgage fraud. She said that these residences were her primary residence, and she
00:08:18.600
got a lower interest rate when, in fact, they were investment properties. Investment properties
00:08:24.700
have a higher risk of default, and that could harm the whole financial system of people who are lying
00:08:32.580
about getting a primary residence when it's not. The Democrats' response is that, oh, we never
00:08:40.200
charge people with mortgage fraud, which is a felony. We don't charge people with mortgage fraud unless
00:08:45.580
it's in connection with other crimes. Well, that's just silly. That means there's amnesty for mortgage
00:08:50.400
fraud, and that sends a message to the entire country, go commit mortgage fraud. Otherwise,
00:08:56.000
you know, there's nothing we're going to do about it. So that's just a dumb argument. And it's a
00:09:00.620
particularly dumb argument when you are one of the governors of the Fed with the responsibility of
00:09:06.640
helping to establish policies for our financial system that affect interest rates. So there's pretty
00:09:16.580
damning evidence against this Lisa Cook. Under our statute for the Federal Reserve, the president can fire
00:09:24.280
these governors for cause. There's clearly cause to fire her if she's committing mortgage fraud one time.
00:09:30.980
There's evidence she committed mortgage fraud several times. And so she should be able to be fired
00:09:35.880
immediately under that statute, which President Trump has done. She's challenging that.
00:09:40.920
And she is not, and Mike, just for the audience, she has not denied, she bought a house as a primary
00:09:46.120
residence. She then bought another house, said it was a primary residence, the second house to get the
00:09:50.880
lower rate. She then has been unearthed that she bought a third property, which should have been an
00:09:56.040
investment property. And she listed that as a second home when it was purely investment property. So she's got
00:10:00.720
a couple of mortgage fraud things, and she's never denied that, right? She's not denied that of all
00:10:07.920
these accusations of mortgage fraud that she didn't do it, correct? I have not heard any denial, and I
00:10:13.820
don't know how you can deny it. I mean, her signature's on the document, and then you see that it's an
00:10:19.120
investment property instead of her primary residence or a second home. So that's the issue. President
00:10:25.820
Trump has fired her for cause, and she's challenging that, and the Federal Reserve Board is challenging
00:10:30.600
that, and they're trying to make this like it's a play for the Federal Reserve's independence. And
00:10:35.400
that's the problem. That's the bigger problem, is that this statute that created the Federal Reserve
00:10:41.460
111 years ago, or whenever it was, that established the Fed, the problem is it essentially created a fourth
00:10:49.980
branch of government that's not allowed by our Constitution. Again, under Article I, Congress
00:10:56.660
writes the laws. It has the legislative power. Under Article II, the president executes the laws. He has the
00:11:04.380
executive power, all executive power. Under Article III, the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts decide
00:11:10.360
cases and controversies of the parties properly before them with redressable claims. That's Article
00:11:16.820
three standing or the judicial power. If you create this Federal Reserve system where the president
00:11:24.520
cannot fire them, they're exercising executive power outside of the president's executive power,
00:11:32.360
and the president has the executive power, all executive power, under Article II. So if the Federal
00:11:39.080
Reserve wants to fight for this fraudster, Lisa Cook, and say that the president didn't have the
00:11:46.240
statutory power to fire her, then the courts have to say, okay, they're going to have to decide that
00:11:50.460
issue. I think the court's going to say, of course, the president has the power to fire someone for a
00:11:55.440
cause if they're committing mortgage fraud, especially several times. But if they don't, if they say that
00:12:00.640
that's not something that creates cause to fire someone, then the courts are going to have to decide
00:12:05.520
the constitutional question, whether the president has the power under Article II of the Constitution
00:12:11.880
to fire this executive branch officer, Lisa Cook at the Fed. And if he does not have that power under
00:12:20.840
the statute, then it's unconstitutional. The Fed is. But aren't a lot of these alphabet agencies,
00:12:26.460
aren't we getting down to the hub of it, that, or the nub of it, where these semi-autonomous
00:12:32.240
agencies, they got to be a fish or a fowl, right? I mean, the president and his executive power has to have
00:12:38.840
the ability to set the policy over there to be able to hire and fire people or not. I mean,
00:12:44.220
shouldn't we take this all the way to its ultimate conclusion? Because, you know, here in the world,
00:12:47.380
we're trying to drive the maximalist position every day now. And also, they seize the institutions
00:12:53.680
because the left is melting down because they see exactly what we're trying to do, but we're just not
00:12:59.060
doing it fast enough. Shouldn't we, shouldn't the government, shouldn't President Trump's lawyers
00:13:03.940
go in there and just say, hey, look, it's not just about firing Cook. It's about the entire structure
00:13:09.660
of this thing is upside down and it's unconstitutional, sir. It is unconstitutional.
00:13:16.260
I don't know if we have five votes yet on the Supreme Court to go along with that position. But,
00:13:21.620
you know, as you, as we saw with the presidential immunity argument, you get out there and you make
00:13:26.480
the political argument and it's amazing how these judges will find their backbones and actually follow
00:13:32.080
the law if the politics are right. And so we'll be doing that next. I think the Federal Reserve is
00:13:37.200
clearly unconstitutional because the president doesn't have the unilateral power to fire the
00:13:42.420
governors. And so they're exercising executive power at the Fed outside of the president's
00:13:47.700
executive power and that makes it unconstitutional. And so, look, this is part of the Wilsonian model
00:13:54.160
that we have the founders who want it separated powers, both vertical and horizontal separation.
00:14:00.480
So we make sure that there's not centralized power, that power belongs to we, the people.
00:14:05.020
We loan power to the federal government through our loan agreement called the Constitution. Then we
00:14:09.520
divide that power among the three branches and we only give the federal government specific and
00:14:14.320
enumerated power in the Constitution. Whatever power we don't give it in that loan agreement
00:14:19.600
belongs to the states and we, the people, as confirmed by the 10th Amendment.
00:14:23.480
The Wilsonian model flips that on its head. It consolidates all this power in the federal
00:14:30.900
government and then further consolidates it in the executive branch and then further
00:14:35.060
consolidates it in unelected experts who are unaccountable to Congress, the president,
00:14:43.440
Mike, hang on for one second. The Vice-Roy is with us. We're getting a lesson here.
00:14:49.380
We're very important for an end of summer. Back to school. We're back to school with the
00:14:54.300
Vice-Roy. A huge amount of big cases are being sorted out right now.
00:14:59.880
This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The block of emerging
00:15:05.780
superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing
00:15:12.540
the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS
00:15:19.300
nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, bringing
00:15:24.000
down the value of the dollar in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight,
00:15:30.540
but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment
00:15:36.360
when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards an inevitable
00:15:42.660
reality. Learn if diversifying your savings into gold is right for you. Birch Gold Group

00:17:10.840
administration is in federal court arguing that they can terminate for cause any governor of the
00:17:17.500
federal reserve they want. And Mike Davis, the viceroy is telling us that, hey, the whole structure
00:17:21.280
of the federal reserve is unconstitutional. Now, more than ever, when we're taking on the central
00:17:26.680
banks, the central bank of the world, maybe it's time for you to understand how gold is a hedge
00:17:31.020
against times of financial turbulence. Go check it out today. Get to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:17:36.740
So, Mike Davis, pull the camera back for a second. As to delay is to deny, and they've done a good job
00:17:42.780
of trying to chop block us everywhere with these judges and TROs and all this. In fact, I think they're
00:17:47.100
arguing about a TRO today in federal court. But when you move up the food chain, we're starting
00:17:53.340
to win and win big. And the reason I know that is Mark Elias and the team over at MSNBC, Weissman
00:17:58.440
and Mark Elias look like they're constipated every day. They're not digging life right now. Besides
00:18:04.440
the fact that we're coming after them, Christina Bob's going to be here in a minute, we're coming
00:18:08.400
after them and give them a dose of their own medicine. They understand they're losing and they're
00:18:12.860
losing big time to, quite frankly, President Trump and your theory of the case and the execution of
00:18:19.140
that theory, sir. Yeah, I want to say this. First of all, I want to give tremendous credit
00:18:24.580
to President Trump's legal team, David Warrington and the White House Counsel's Office,
00:18:30.280
the Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Solicitor General John Sauer,
00:18:36.820
Stanley Woodward, who's going to be the number three at the Justice Department,
00:18:39.920
Chad Mizell, Harmeet Dillon, the whole crew over there at the Justice Department and at the White
00:18:45.320
House Counsel's Office, they are fighting this unprecedented republic-ending lawfare every day,
00:18:53.040
this judicial sabotage by these judges, these activist judges, Democrat activist judges,
00:19:00.420
and these Democrat hellholes who are issuing these injunctions trying to stop the president from
00:19:06.820
exercising his core Article II executive power. And these judicial saboteurs are winning short-term
00:19:15.120
battles, but they are losing the war. They're going to lose the war in a big way. And this is what I
00:19:21.340
mean by this. I always thought that it would take 20 years for us to get the federal government back
00:19:29.220
into the place that our founders intended, where the federal government has specific,
00:19:33.680
enumerated and divided powers and the rest of the power belongs to the states and we the people as
00:19:38.700
confirmed by the 10th Amendments. By these Democrat activists, plaintiffs and attorneys and judges
00:19:46.820
and other activists doing this judicial sabotage, they are fast forwarding our project where hopefully I'll be
00:19:56.360
able to retire at the end of the Trump administration and hand off the Article III project to someone else
00:20:01.900
because the job will be done. The federal government will be dismantled by the federal judiciary,
00:20:08.220
the plumbers, as I call them, because I always say that the political branches are never going to drain
00:20:12.940
the swamp. Why would the reptiles drain the swamp? So we're going to do it through the judges where
00:20:17.180
they strike down these executive branch agencies as unconstitutional because they're not permitted
00:20:23.520
by the Constitution. So I say to these activists, keep going. Keep doing your judicial
00:20:29.380
sabotage. Go get your win with some DEI misfits in DC or New York or wherever you get some Biden or Obama
00:20:39.220
judge to enjoin the president of the United States. And then when the president wins at the Supreme Court
00:20:46.120
of the United States, that that's going to be binding on the whole country forever.
00:20:49.960
The other thing that and we're having these wins now, the other thing I might add is that they are so still
00:20:59.740
totally understaffed. When you just named the team right there, those are like the heads. Those are the
00:21:03.640
starters. You would normally hope you had 100 lawyers underneath it. We just don't right now because of
00:21:08.980
just hiring and the whole thing with the confirmation process. What do you see going forward? We got these
00:21:14.080
wins right now. I know you got to bounce, but and this is huge. This is one of the things we talked about
00:21:18.620
at the beginning. We got to get this legal right because this is the only way they're going to stop
00:21:22.460
us. We've argued for maximization and urgency and do it every day and seize control of these
00:21:28.380
institutions. When we get back next week at the beginning of everybody's back and it's going to be
00:21:33.740
just absolute open warfare, where do you see us heading on this? Yeah, I mean, I would say this is
00:21:38.940
the most important thing that we're going to do as the war room posse is to make enough noise,
00:21:44.240
provide the political cover so these Republican lawyers and these conservative judges find and
00:21:51.160
keep their backbones and they follow the Constitution. And the most important project,
00:21:56.040
why we're doing the Article III project, why we're getting constitutionalist judges on the bench,
00:22:01.660
why we're getting good people in the Justice Department, bold and fearless judges, bold and fearless
00:22:07.240
Justice Department officials, bold and fearless people working for Dave Warrington's team at the
00:22:12.200
White House. The reason we're doing this is we have a window of opportunity with President Trump
00:22:17.360
who understands the threat we face from the deep state, from these big government agencies. And we
00:22:24.820
have a four-year opportunity, a four-year window to get the job done and dismantle most of the executive
00:22:31.620
branch and return power back to the states and the people. And this is not theoretical. We have seen
00:22:37.360
this with COVID lockdowns. We have seen this with so many other instances when there is concentrated
00:22:42.980
power in Washington, D.C. The American people pay the price. And it's not what our founders intended.
00:22:50.860
We don't care what the experts think. We don't care about the Wilsonian model where the experts in
00:22:56.480
Washington, D.C., the Tony Fauci's of the world, get to decide whether we go outside on a particular
00:23:03.840
day or if we ride on a plane or if we have to wear masks or if we have to take off our mask between
00:23:08.820
bites and sips, as they would say. No, we didn't agree to that as we the people. We certainly did
00:23:14.220
not agree to an invasion of our country and changing our population because the Democrats want to open
00:23:22.000
our border. And these Democrat judges say that there's somehow constitutional due process rights
00:23:27.300
for these illegal immigrants who have invaded our country. I mean, these are crucial fights that we
00:23:35.220
are fighting every day at the Article III project with the war room posse. And we have to win. And we
00:23:41.300
have to win this over the next four years or we're going to lose our country.
00:23:46.780
Deconstructing the administrative state and taking down the deep state. And of course,
00:23:51.200
Judge Gorsuch, Justice Gorsuch's clerk is at the tip of the spear of that. Mike Davis,
00:23:55.900
where do people go for Article III, particularly this weekend, the end of the summer, where they
00:24:00.900
go and get all the content, check it out, see if they want to support you guys.
00:24:06.280
Article3project.org, article3project.org. You can follow us on social media, donate,
00:24:12.780
but only what you can afford, but take action. One of the big action items is in the middle there
00:24:17.060
to repeal the D.C. Home Rule Act of 1973. That is a crucial one. Let's light up both of your home
00:24:24.920
state senators and your U.S. House rep and tell them to repeal this unconstitutional
00:24:29.340
D.C. Home Rule Act of 1973 that's let corrupt local incompetent Democrat politicians
00:24:37.640
hold hostage our nation's capital to crime and corruption.
00:24:41.820
Amen, brother. Thank you, Mike. Let's everybody go over there today, check out the Home Rule. There's
00:24:48.660
so much more. We're engaged now in the courts. It's just incredible. We got two warriors. One's
00:24:54.360
taken to the streets. The other's taken to counter lawfare. Christina Bob. So Christina,
00:25:00.120
and we keep talking about the convergence of factors to make sure that, because if you look at demographics,
00:25:06.380
if you look at the census, if you look at our redistricting, you look at every element of it,
00:25:12.600
another key point is the actual elections themselves. President Trump's got an executive
00:25:16.380
order of mail-in ballots. Two things, Heather Honey, and then what's happening in Fulton County. You've
00:25:21.560
been the tip of the spear of both of these. Tell me about the magnificence of having Heather Honey
00:25:26.700
is now the leading official. And I know it's good, because Mark Elias, literally for 48 hours,
00:25:33.440
has been apoplectic over at MSNBC. How important is her selection, ma'am?
00:25:39.000
As he should be. He should be very afraid of Heather Honey. She's fantastic. And I applaud DHS for
00:25:44.460
actually bringing her on and putting her in the position that they did. She is an investigator.
00:25:50.000
She did a lot of the investigation from 2020, and I believe she'd been working on elections prior to
00:25:54.220
that. She's the one that did all the math and put the spreadsheet together to show that there were
00:25:59.040
about 120 additional votes in Pennsylvania, more votes than voters, that whole narrative that was
00:26:05.320
out there. She was the one that uncovered that. The left came out and said, oh, that's not true.
00:26:09.020
That's been debunked. But I've never seen anywhere where anyone has corrected her math. I mean, her
00:26:13.500
math, math. So she got it right. She's causing Mark Elias to have a conniption, which is a very,
00:26:20.680
very good day. She's fantastic. She's a hard worker. She's just a generally good person who cares
00:26:25.620
about this country. She's exactly what we need there. And they could not have picked a better
00:26:29.600
person for that position. What is going on? You know, that's Pennsylvania. Heather Honey now has
00:26:35.560
been elevated. She's a hammer. She's a warrior. What in the hell is going on down in Georgia and
00:26:41.080
Fulton County, ma'am? Yeah, they're throwing sand in the gears. And Mike Davis in the earlier
00:26:45.400
segment did a fantastic job of laying out at the lower level, you know, how they're trying to use the
00:26:50.260
courts just to stall and just to try to make things difficult. Because as he said, we have about,
00:26:55.880
you know, three to four years to get this done, or we could lose everything forever. And we're on
00:27:00.400
track to get it done. Down in Fulton County, it's required that Fulton County have two Republicans,
00:27:06.340
two Democrats, and I believe an independent on their election board. The board of commissioners,
00:27:10.400
which is above the election board, is refusing to seat the two Republicans on the board. And they're
00:27:16.720
not allowed to participate. They're not officially on the board yet. The Republican GOP has gone to
00:27:22.560
court three times now to get a court order saying, hey, our Republicans need to be seated. And three
00:27:29.520
times now, the court has said, yeah, they do. And they have issued orders to the county commissioners
00:27:35.500
saying, you need to seat the Republicans on the board. They're lawfully appointed. You know, there's no
00:27:40.120
legal reason that they can't be on the board. They meet all the requirements, and they went through
00:27:44.780
the proper process. So put them on the board. And the county, I'm sorry, the commissioners are just
00:27:49.640
saying, no, we're just not going to do it. So finally, on Wednesday, they went back, of this
00:27:53.680
week, just a couple days ago, they went back and got an order from the judge getting a contempt order,
00:27:59.460
holding the county commissioners in contempt. $10,000 fine per day. They do not seat these
00:28:05.380
Republicans. I understand that the county has appealed that. So that...
00:28:10.620
Christina, yeah, just hang on one second. We're going to go back to Fulton County.
00:28:14.380
Um, also Arizona. Brandon Strzok is going to join us about New York. And Jim Rickards,
00:28:20.580
big deal with the Chinese Communist Party this weekend, hosting a big old parade.

00:29:47.160
Okay, just to make sure we can connect some dots here. We're listening. The actual arguments going
00:29:59.260
on right now about the governor of the Federal Reserve is kind of what we talked about with Mike
00:30:03.500
Davis. They're saying right now the issue of cause and what scope the president has defined, what that
00:30:09.240
means is now being discussed in the hearing. This is the thrust of the case. The president is arguing
00:30:13.260
that he has broad discretion to determine what meets the mark of for cause to terminator.
00:30:20.160
What Davis and I were saying I think is even deeper, and I think that this is where they ought to go
00:30:24.600
after they get some time, is that the entire structure of the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional
00:30:29.520
the way it's structured. The president doesn't need cause. He can just walk in and say, hey, look,
00:30:35.340
boom, I don't like you as governor. You're gone. Folks, just write that down with your number two
00:30:40.520
principle. This is where this thing's going to go. You guys out there don't like the Fed
00:30:43.780
and our Jacksonian populace want to take it down. This is going to be our angle of attack. Wait for
00:30:49.180
it. Very important. Christina, finish with Fulton County because this is a big deal. And hey,
00:30:54.320
I do kind of admire the folks down there, the radical Democrats. They're saying screw you.
00:31:00.060
Run up the bill. We don't care. We don't know. We're not going to let you. We're going to steal
00:31:03.420
elections. We're going to steal them how we're going to steal them in broad daylight. You're not going to do
00:31:06.980
anything about it. Your thoughts, ma'am? Yeah, it's pretty brazen. It's kind of shocking. It
00:31:11.700
would be nice if Republicans, a lot of Republicans, had half the backbone that these Democrats have.
00:31:15.900
They're just thumbing their nose in the face of the judge. So right now they have a contempt ruling
00:31:21.400
where they're being fined $10,000 a day. That ruling is stayed pending appeal. They appealed that
00:31:27.000
ruling basically immediately. So they're not racking up the fees. We have to wait and see what the Court
00:31:31.700
of Appeals does, which I hope it upholds. I don't know how the Court of Appeals could find any other
00:31:36.640
way, but we'll find out hopefully in the next few days, maybe weeks.
00:31:41.500
What is going on? And folks, these battles right now, you should know, the Steve Stearns,
00:31:46.920
when they have those podcasts, everybody should get in there because there are fights all over the
00:31:52.420
country and folks in this voter integrity. And that's every time you get a Heather Honey up there.
00:31:56.740
It's so important. But these fights are going on nonstop. Arizona, give me a quick update on Arizona,
00:32:01.240
ma'am. On Arizona for the criminal cases, Chris May is abusing her office.
00:32:06.280
She's still doing that. She's still trying to throw people in jail who support Donald Trump. And
00:32:10.580
I'm still a defendant in that case. She's still trying to throw people in jail for being
00:32:14.640
Trump electors in 2020, which is not illegal. And that case is, I think, going down in flames.
00:32:21.940
It's going down a little slower than I hoped it would, but it doesn't look good. We've got some
00:32:25.800
appeals issues that were waiting to come out. And I expect her to lose again. And probably
00:32:32.880
the case get dismissed, hopefully relatively soon. Don't forget, we also have the same case open in
00:32:38.000
Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and the Fannie Willis case is still open in Georgia. So every time they
00:32:42.420
point their fingers at Donald Trump and say, oh, he's weaponizing justice, they haven't put their
00:32:46.880
guns down. They're still firing at us. They're still trying to throw us in jail.
00:32:50.080
I know they're not. The law fair continues. Real quick, by the way, a poll out, I think
00:32:58.340
overnight, Hobbs and Andy Biggs, dead heat in the governor's race in Arizona. He has not won the
00:33:04.240
primary yet, but dead heat right there. Ma'am, your new book, where do people get it? When is it out?
00:33:10.760
The art is amazing. The photography is amazing. That is because it's Dan Flouette, my producer,
00:33:15.480
but it's really incredible. Where do people get the book, ma'am?
00:33:18.700
Yep. It's available for pre-order, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, wherever books are sold.
00:33:23.600
And you can find it on my website, christinabob.com, which Dan also did the art for that. Thank you,
00:33:27.840
Dan. He's amazing. But yeah, it comes out in about 10 days, September 9th, something like that.
00:33:38.720
Let's get the book, Christina Bob, Warrior Extraordinaire.
00:33:42.060
Brandon Straka joins us. Brandon, two people I admire, Naomi Wolf and yourself. You're not just
00:33:47.040
fighters and warriors. You're also very smart about selecting your battle space. Naomi's,
00:33:54.360
she's doing these things in Brooklyn and all these young rising stars, Republican, a lot of minorities,
00:34:01.380
African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics. It's incredible about this race is coming up in November. I guess
00:34:07.860
we're in the heat of the race, but the election's in November. You're out there full bore on your
00:34:12.900
flipping Democrats, and you're doing a huge ground game. I don't see it. I don't see where
00:34:19.720
the opposition here is in three camps. They refuse to quit. You got Sliwa with about 12 to 15% of the
00:34:27.620
vote. You got Eric Adams, the mayor, with about 10 or 12, and you got Cuomo with about low 20s.
00:34:33.240
Combined, they are a majority, I think, barely if you take all the smart polling, but they refuse to drop
00:34:40.900
out of the race. So what is your solution? You're out there doing a ground game to try to get people
00:34:47.740
signed up. I mean, what's the purpose of this, sir?
00:34:52.100
Yeah, thank you, and I appreciate it. So let's first address the ground game, and then I'll give
00:34:57.320
you a couple scenarios in which I truly believe we can win. Otherwise, I wouldn't be wasting my time
00:35:01.440
doing this. So what I'm doing right now is I'm trying to organize the largest anti-Mom Donnie
00:35:05.920
canvassing and outreach effort in New York City. And so we have, at this point, hundreds of volunteers.
00:35:12.140
I want to get that into the thousands after we get into September, and the race really starts
00:35:15.960
gearing up. But we're going to be getting people out into the boroughs, knocking on doors, making
00:35:20.780
phone calls, text messaging, and we're going to be targeting a lot of different minority communities
00:35:24.700
and young people who need to either be changing their mind. We're going to be educating people
00:35:29.680
about the dangers and the ills of democratic socialism, the false promises of Zoran Mom
00:35:34.160
Donnie, and how these policies are going to negatively impact people's lives and New Yorkers.
00:35:38.280
But there's a couple scenarios here in which we can actually win. One is if we get to the
00:35:43.040
point where a couple of these candidates drop out, and it's one against one. A poll just came
00:35:46.720
out recently showing that if it's Cuomo versus Mom Donnie, there's-
00:35:50.940
Okay, full stop, full stop, full stop, full stop. I got that, but that's a masturbatory fantasy.
00:35:55.800
That's just not going to happen. Sliwa's going to be in to the end. He's a nutcase.
00:36:00.720
Adam's not, he's an African-American, the last only African-American male in the history
00:36:05.200
of New York City, lost to Rudy for Dinkins loss. So he's obligated, if you talk to these
00:36:10.360
guys, to continue on. They're just not going to drop out. So give me the scenario where
00:36:14.160
they don't drop out, because that's reality. Cuomo's not going to drop out. He's raised
00:36:17.120
too much money. Those three, for their egos and other reasons, because I keep telling folks,
00:36:22.320
to lose here, you got the Working People Party and the Democratic Socialists. This guy's
00:36:27.240
Sadiq Khan on steroids. Okay? If you see where London is today, that's where New York City's
00:36:33.900
going. And if you lose this, and they're never going to give up power, like the Bolsheviks.
00:36:38.420
So in a scenario where nobody drops out, that Brandon Straka and the President of the United
00:36:43.180
States can't convince these guys to drop out, give me the scenario how you win.
00:36:47.000
Sure. For the record, that's not my mission, to convince them to drop out. But so if we're
00:36:53.280
in a race where nobody is dropping out, what we have to look at is just driving massive voter
00:36:57.780
turnout, because we have 4.7 million registered voters in New York City. Zoran Mamdani got 468,000
00:37:04.580
votes in the primary. This is going to be a high voter turnout, I believe, because the nation's eyes
00:37:11.840
are on this race. It's getting a lot of momentum, and people are very concerned about what's going
00:37:15.740
on. So if we can drive close to 50 percent of the voter turnout and really push it up there,
00:37:20.940
the person who gets 590,000 votes is going to be the winner. And I don't believe that's going to be
00:37:25.340
Zoran Mamdani, because I don't believe he has much support beyond the support that he got in the
00:37:30.340
primary. I'm not even convinced that the voters who came out in the primary are going to come out
00:37:33.660
to vote for him. But we can't. The numbers are there. We just have to drive the people out to go out
00:37:39.220
and vote. Traditionally, New York City mayoral races are having low voter turnout, 23 percent,
00:37:43.800
25 percent. It's abysmal. I think this race is going to be different. The eyes of the nation are
00:37:48.500
on it. I think if we can drive the people out and split the vote, the person who ends up with
00:37:53.700
590,000 votes wins. And I don't think that will be Zoran Mamdani.
00:38:01.740
Brandon, I want to know, we're going to have you back on a lot. Obviously,
00:38:04.340
it's going to kick up in September. Where do people go, though, for this weekend
00:38:07.620
to go and visit your site, get the information. If they want to talk to your people, talk to them,
00:38:13.480
because I do think this is going to take some convincing of folks to understand exactly what's
00:38:17.340
going on here. I will tell folks if when Mandami wins, that he's going to turn New York City,
00:38:25.100
the greatest city in the world and the financial capital of the world into modern London. He is
00:38:30.780
Sadiq Khan on steroids. And folks, there's been so many big donors and so many of the power brokers
00:38:37.040
in New York that have looked the other way on this thing. And they're whistling past the graveyard
00:38:40.620
right now because this is happening. And the only way it's going to stop, if someone like you get
00:38:44.900
some traction, we'll have to see if that happens. But I respect you and Naomi. You two guys are
00:38:50.420
fighters. You also have a pretty good sense of how things can be pulled off. So I want everybody,
00:38:55.580
where do people go this weekend to find more information about what you're trying to accomplish?
00:39:00.780
Right. So one of the things that we're doing in addition to the canvassing and outreach is we're
00:39:04.220
going to be doing events on an almost weekly basis all over the city. So the next one we have coming
00:39:08.380
up is in Washington Square Park. This Saturday, we're asking people to show up around 12 o'clock.
00:39:13.340
The event begins at one o'clock. This is the rally against democratic socialism. It lasts from one to
00:39:18.920
three. And then immediately after, we're turning it into a live New York City street debate where we're
00:39:23.280
encouraging New Yorkers to approach the microphone and debate our panel, asking questions about
00:39:27.680
democratic socialism, challenging us, debating us. We just did this. Yeah, we did this in
00:39:32.120
Union Square a couple of weeks ago. It was phenomenal. I mean, we had hundreds of people
00:39:36.820
turn out. We had Mom Donnie supporters show up, get behind the microphone, ask us questions about,
00:39:42.000
you know, what's wrong with socialism. And we're changing hearts and minds. It really is happening.
00:39:47.200
You know, we just have to have these conversations and reach these people. So if anyone wants to learn
00:39:51.320
more about my effort and what I'm doing, please go to walkawaycampaign.com. If you want to show up
00:39:56.540
and join us in Washington Square Park, one o'clock this Saturday, go to walkawaycampaign.com slash events.
00:40:02.520
We need volunteers. I want an army of thousands of volunteers. Go to walkawaycampaign.com, sign up to
00:40:08.820
be a volunteer. Whether you live in New York City or anywhere in the country, we need remote volunteers to
00:40:13.420
text, make phone calls, send emails. And if you're able to give to the cause, go to walkawaycampaign.com
00:40:19.840
because we need to hire more staff too. But, you know, Steve, I appreciate your skepticism,
00:40:24.380
but I'm being sincere when I say I truly believe we can beat this guy. And I think that we will.
00:40:31.860
Okay, brother. By the way, Washington Square Park, that'll be fascinating.
00:40:35.120
Hope you guys also bring security. It could get a little wild there. The Democrat socialists,
00:40:40.700
these brothers roll hard. So hopefully we can stream it tomorrow on War Room. Thank you,
00:40:49.360
At least somebody's punching back up there. The three campaigns have been a disaster,
00:40:54.100
the politicians' campaigns. Jim Rickert's one of the smartest guys on geopolitics. So, Jim,
00:40:59.880
and I want to give people a heads up. On Tuesday the 2nd, we're going to turn a lot of the show over
00:41:04.840
the morning to make it about contemporary geopolitics, but tie it back to the end of the Second World War.
00:41:10.780
That will be the 80th commemoration of the signing of the surrender instrument of Imperial Japan on the
00:41:18.460
USS Missouri. We'll do a commemoration on that and tie it to politics. But, Jim, the Chinese Communist Party
00:41:25.080
has jumped in front of us. They're having a big parade. They're having a big parade over the next
00:41:29.280
couple of days, and they've invited Modi and Putin, and they both showed up. What is that?
00:41:34.280
7-4 has got a great story on it. What does that mean? That does not bode well for what we're trying
00:41:41.260
to work on here. The Indians are one of our most important allies, and we need a rapprochement with
00:41:47.120
Right. This is around something called the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, or the SCO. There's been
00:41:55.320
so much attention paid to BRICS, and people have heard a lot about that, and BRICS coming up with
00:41:58.860
a new currency. That's a big issue, but that's separate. But people say the BRICS can't work
00:42:05.360
because China and India are members, and they're fighting over the borders in Nepal and the Himalayas
00:42:11.980
and so forth, some of these eastern regions in India. And I've always said that's not a problem,
00:42:16.580
because the BRICS is not a political or military alliance. It's an economic alliance, and you can
00:42:21.780
have good economic relations, even if you're fighting over other issues on a different level.
00:42:28.240
Shanghai Cooperation Organization is different. That actually does purport to have some military
00:42:33.960
functions. Now, it's not NATO. They've never done anything militarily, but that is part of their
00:42:39.140
charter, that that would be a more proactive political military group. And I've said for a
00:42:43.520
long time, we're going to see over time a convergence of the BRICS and the SCO, the Shanghai
00:42:48.880
Cooperation Organization. There is a lot of overlap in the members. I don't have a whole list of all
00:42:53.760
the members in front of me, but the big ones, Russia and China and India, are in both. And that's
00:43:00.600
why Putin and Modi are showing up for this. So we're watching what's sometimes called the global
00:43:06.340
South or really the Asian, you know, the Asian landmass. We got back to McKinder at this point,
00:43:13.220
converging to stand up to the collective West, meaning basically US, Canada, NATO, Australia,
00:43:20.000
and a couple other countries. You see the United States stealing $300 billion of lawfully purchased
00:43:29.080
And I'm using the word stealing. Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, hang on one second. We're going to take a short
00:43:35.540
break. The entire next block and then some is Jim Rickards as he explains geopolitics 101 in the modern
00:43:47.820
There's a lot of talk about government debt, but after four years of inflation, the real crisis is
00:43:53.060
personal debt. Seriously, you're working harder than ever and you're still drowning in credit card
00:43:59.120
debt and overdue bills. You need done with debt and here's why you need it. The credit system is
00:44:05.960
rigged to keep you trapped. Done with debt has unique and frankly brilliant escape strategies to help
00:44:13.100
end your debt fast. So you keep more of your hard earned money. Done with debt doesn't try to sell you
00:44:20.320
a loan and they don't try to sell you a bankruptcy. They're tough negotiators that go one-on-one with
00:44:26.340
your credit card and loan companies with one goal to drastically reduce your bills and eliminate
00:44:31.220
interest and erase penalties. Most clients end up with more money in their pocket month one and they
00:44:38.740
don't stop until they break you free from debt permanently. Look, take a couple of minutes and
00:44:46.900
visit donewithdebt.com. Talk with one of their strategists. It's free, but listen up. Some of
00:44:52.940
their solutions are time sensitive, so you'll need to move quickly. Go to donewithdebt.com. That's
00:44:58.920
donewithdebt.com. Stop the anxiety. Stop the angst. Go to donewithdebt.com and do it today.
00:45:10.840
Okay, just announced, Russ Vogt, our own Russ Vogt, a contributor here for years, obviously now head of
00:45:16.920
OMB. Marco Rubio has like 10 jobs. He just gave one, President Trump to prove it. Russ Vogt is
00:45:22.840
officially winding down USAID. Officially winding down USAID. In addition, there has been a pocket
00:45:30.880
rescission. Five billion dollars of additional kind of foreign aid that kind of fell into another
00:45:35.280
pocket. That's gone. Now, these aren't the huge numbers we want, but President Trump has announced
00:45:40.340
they're going to do a pocket rescission on that and people are just going to have to suck on that.
00:45:44.760
So two good things going from on the manager on economic side. I want to go back. So the worst
00:45:50.740
nightmare we could have geopolitically, and we're all, we're the hemispheric defense crowd and have
00:45:55.280
extraterrestrial forces. But what you don't want is where you have this kind of civilizational
00:46:00.760
melding on the Eurasian landmass with the Chinese Communist Party as the head, the head, the head
00:46:05.520
gangsters. The Chinese Communist Party, Russia with the KGB. And then you got Modi, one, because we are
00:46:12.320
a little bit of loggerheads on some of these tariffs and also the buying of the secondary purchasing
00:46:17.980
or the, you know, secondary sanctions of purchasing oil from Russia. Although I might duly note that
00:46:24.900
China buys more and we haven't sanctioned them, but just walk the audience through. If you have
00:46:29.780
those three civilizational powers and particularly how Russia wants to with Persia and Turkey kind of
00:46:36.060
get their, you know, Dugan's theory for Putin of that part of the Eurasian landmass. If these
00:46:42.700
brothers lock in hard and actually become an alliance, and I might note that that Modi has said
00:46:48.240
that he's not going to go to the parade stand. They're there for the meetings. They are going to
00:46:52.040
meetings, but he's not going to commemorate the 80th victory by standing at the parade stand.
00:46:58.500
How bad is it? How rough is the 21st century going to be for the good old United States of America
00:47:04.460
if those three are partners and have some sort of hard alliance on the Eurasian landmass in an
00:47:10.080
international capital markets, sir? Well, if they are, again, we're talking Russia, China, and India,
00:47:17.380
there are a lot of, you know, ancillary powers, but they're the big three in this context. Yeah,
00:47:21.900
if they form a strong union, either under the auspices of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,
00:47:27.780
which is meeting now or in the coming days, or BRICS or some convergence of the two, that's a
00:47:34.140
disaster for the United States. But the problem, Steve, is that this is a self-made disaster. It's
00:47:39.120
the failure of U.S. foreign policy. I keep looking for diplomats. Where are the diplomats? I mean,
00:47:44.120
Steve Whitehouse, you know, I don't know personally, I'll assume he's an excellent
00:47:48.740
real estate negotiator, but he's not really trained in diplomacy. I just don't see that.
00:47:53.680
Now, this is such an easy case, which is there are only three powers in the world that matter,
00:47:59.400
Russia, China, and the United States. So India's a big deal. Japan's a big deal. I get it. But
00:48:03.700
they're the three with nuclear weapons who kind of call the shots. It should always be two against
00:48:09.460
one, and you should be part of the two. Now, Nixon did this brilliantly in 1971, 72. He pivoted to
00:48:17.160
China, opened the door, met with Mao Zedong, et cetera, in order to isolate the Soviet Union at the
00:48:22.860
time, really Russia. And it worked, you know, 1989, Berlin Wall falls, 1991, the Soviet Union dissolves. It
00:48:28.660
took time. But that alliance with China basically isolated the Russia, which, you know, Soviet Union.
00:48:35.960
Today, now's the time to pivot to Russia and let the United States and Russia work together to
00:48:42.180
isolate the Communist Party of China. I've been to China many times, been all over the country,
00:48:46.880
have good friends there, wonderful people. It's the Communist Party that's the problem, not the
00:48:50.740
people of China. So this is a very obvious case. What are we doing instead? We're listening to
00:48:55.980
Lindsey Graham. We're listening to these warmongers where, you know, Fiona Hill, these phony baloney experts,
00:49:01.600
et cetera. We're treating Russia like a pariah when it should be one of our strongest allies.
00:49:05.860
We don't have to have a treaty with them. We don't have to love them, but we have to work with them.
00:49:09.960
And that would be an obvious one. And the pivot, the thing is, you say, what's holding that up?
00:49:14.380
Well, the answer is the war in Ukraine. And I think the best thing that came out of the Alaska
00:49:18.740
summit a few weeks ago was, I mean, not much did come out of it, but there was one thing.
00:49:23.520
Trump listened to Putin unfiltered. He didn't have Lindsey Graham or Marco Rubio or Mike Walsh or any of these
00:49:29.720
other people filtering Putin's comments. He listened to Putin and it became very clear there was not going to be
00:49:35.180
an unconditional ceasefire. We've said that on your show six months or even a year ago,
00:49:40.200
we said that. But Putin will go for a comprehensive peace treaty with security guarantees. And Trump
00:49:47.320
said, OK, I hear you. Let's go for the peace treaty. Then Wyckoff took the phrase security
00:49:52.000
guarantees. And Putin did say that in the meeting. But Putin's understanding of that and Wyckoff's
00:49:59.200
understanding are completely different. Wyckoff ran off the rails with these Article 5 guarantees,
00:50:03.100
which Putin will never agree to. What Putin meant was, let's have the peace treaty and then have
00:50:08.680
some enforcement because the U.S. lied about Minsk 1, lied about Minsk 2, lied about the Maidan
00:50:15.240
revolution, which is one of these funny baloney CIA MI6 color revolutions. Putin actually fell for all
00:50:22.140
of it. And he doesn't trust us anymore. And I don't blame him. But what Putin means is China,
00:50:28.140
maybe Turkey, Russia and the United States and nobody else, no U.K. boots on the ground. They
00:50:33.880
don't have that many boots, no French or German boots on the ground. They couldn't put two divisions
00:50:38.240
together if their lives depended on it. But those other four powers I mentioned, just backing this up,
00:50:44.560
that's a deal that can be done. It could be done very quickly. Who cares what Zelensky thinks?
00:50:48.440
Put them on a bus, a plane to Dubai or whatever it takes there and get it done. At that point,
00:50:55.560
you open the door to rapprochement with Russia. By the way, big deal the other day, ExxonMobil said
00:51:00.340
they were in very preliminary discussions with Rosneft about looking, which is a big Russian oil
00:51:06.500
company, about doing some more new exploration in Siberia for basic oil in the Arctic area.
00:51:13.860
I don't know this for a fact, but a company like Exxon would never say anything like that
00:51:19.100
unless they had some kind of green life in the White House. You just don't go there.
00:51:23.480
So I take it that Trump is looking at that. So that's all very encouraging.
00:51:27.640
But we ought to move quickly on this. It's also the key to Iran. I've said that before. Russia has
00:51:32.960
got Iran very much under its thumb in terms of the S-400 and S-500 anti-aircraft systems,
00:51:38.840
and they're training the Iranians now and a lot else. Well, if you want to dial down the tension
00:51:43.500
with Iran, get Russia on your side. Now, why we can't see any of this? Why are our diplomats? I
00:51:48.540
mean, where's Kissinger, Helmut Seinfeld, George Marshall, James Baker? I mean, where are these
00:51:53.600
people? We don't have... I go to China, and they say, we love Kissinger, but he's dead. I mean,
00:51:59.360
don't you have anybody else? Jim, just hang on for one second. I'm going to hold you through the
00:52:04.180
break. We're going to go also in the second hour. We're going to talk about the situation in
00:52:09.080
Minnesota and the trans ideology driving it. Also, Dr. Latipo is going to join us about the CDC
00:52:16.100
and the resignations and firings over there about vaccines.
