00:00:00.000Former Mesa County clerk and election denier Tina Peters is showing no remorse for her part in the scheme to overturn the will of Colorado's voters.
00:00:09.160Now, Peters was released from prison today after Democratic Governor Jared Polis reduced her sentence, calling it extremely unusual and lengthy for a first-time nonviolent offender.
00:00:19.820Peters was convicted in 2024 of breaching her county's voting systems in an attempt to prove the lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election.
00:00:27.580She has never apologized for her actions. In fact, minutes after her release, she appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast and had this to say.
00:00:35.940I know that the Democrats are going to cheat and and no one's really addressing the problem that the basic that I that I spent my time in prison as retribution for.
00:00:49.100And that was exposing the the election machines that allow the the votes to be flipped.0.89
00:00:57.580She convicted. Yes. OK. So jury of her peers. According to Jared Polis on December 11th, 2025, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and found guilty of violating Colorado state laws, including criminal impersonation.0.99
00:01:13.300All right. So what the hell is she talking about? And, Governor, what the hell are you doing? I mean, you think this she's changed. She's going to change because she spent a few months in prison.
00:01:24.180And so you think that, you know, extremely unusual and lengthy. Okay, so the courts can reduce her sentencing. That's why I don't understand any of this. It makes no sense to me. And to prove the point, she gets out of jail and starts promoting the same conspiracies and the same lies that put her behind in jail in the first place.1.00
00:01:47.260So help me understand. Help me make sense of the decision.
00:01:51.260In fact, you couldn't even make sense among your own Democrats because you got censored for it.
00:01:56.620Ninety percent of the state parties, roughly 700 central committee members voted Wednesday for censure.
00:02:01.420It means that pollers whose term limit and serving his final year in office will be barred from being honored guest featured speaker and all that other good stuff.
00:02:08.440All right. The point is, I don't I don't think nobody understands this.
00:02:13.080I say this not by way of explanation, but just to give context that because Tina Peters was convicted on a state crime, not a federal crime, it meant that Donald Trump could not offer her clemency or a pardon.
00:02:25.580So it had to come from Governor Polis.
00:02:36.960And I think this statement from Secretary of State Jenna Griswold helps really clarify why this all matters, right?
00:02:44.180Because it matters more than a question of politics.0.63
00:02:47.380The governor's grant of clemency to Tina Peters is an affront to our democracy, the people of Colorado, and the election officials across the state.0.93
00:02:54.740It sends a dangerous message about accountability for those who attack elections.
00:02:58.120And this next part is the one I think is really important.
00:03:00.620Peter's release also will embolden the election denial movement.
00:03:04.380Since the grant of clemency, she has continued to spread election falsehoods and conspiracies.
00:03:09.020We always talk about this, that it's not just retrospective.
00:03:14.020They get released, and now they set up funds to pay them millions of dollars.
00:03:18.740I mean, I think we should all be very, I don't like to scare people, but I do want people to be unnoticed.
00:03:24.980We should be very concerned about this November and the subsequent Novembers after that.
00:03:29.340The president on his first day in his second term pardoned all of the anyone convicted under January 6th.
00:03:36.280What are they going to do this November?
00:03:37.600He had he attempted to set up a fund that would allow those people to be compensated.
00:03:42.560He has put election deniers at the highest levels of our government and has openly advocated for convicted election deniers to be released from prison and has received at least compliance from one outgoing Democratic governor on this.
00:03:55.900why are they working so hard to make sure that these people who attempted to overturn the will
00:04:02.540of the voters in 2020 are out of jail and in place and available for 20 well look that from
00:04:08.880my from the seat i'm in and we you know i worked with a lot of good people very much concerned
00:04:14.980with our democracy war gaming this second term and one of the biggest parts of that
00:04:22.540was the ballot box, how safe and secure it would be, and the steps that the country would need to
00:04:28.980take to protect itself from the assault from within, right? Because that's what's happening.
00:04:34.640They're now on election boards at the state and county level.
00:04:39.500There we go. And so we see already the grab, the grab in Fulton, the release here, Alicia,
00:04:46.220It's it pretends a real problem when elections on election night are going to be called as fraudulent because the wrong person.
00:04:57.440The president already said, I believe, in an interview with Laura Trump that, oh, California doesn't even have ballot boxes.
00:05:03.540He is willing to say anything if it supports his narrative that there's something going on with these Democratic states.
00:05:09.520That's why every expert we have spoken to has said the number one thing you can do is overwhelm them at the polls so that it is absolutely undeniable.
00:05:17.700Daniel, a little bit of breaking news in just a moment ago.
00:05:20.460So Bill Pulte is, you know, a member, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, member of the Trump administration, made headlines over the last year because he's brought, he's accused Trump political foes of mortgage fraud, including Letitia James, Adam Schiff, Senator from California, Fed Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
00:05:38.200certainly seen as, and by some would say, a Trump henchman.
00:05:40.980Well, just a moment ago, President Trump has announced that he's appointing Pulte
00:05:45.640to be the acting director of national intelligence, DNI, to follow Tulsi Gabbard,
00:05:51.080who is resigning because her husband is battling illness and cancer.
00:05:55.820This would seem to be an escalation in Trump's efforts to relitigate 2020,
00:06:01.980those investigations, which Gabbard was already doing,
00:06:04.120but also potentially trying to build more acts of retribution against foes.
00:06:09.820Because Bill Pulte, who's a businessman, does not have experience in foreign policy in the way that you would probably want the DNI to actually have.
00:06:18.900Their job is to be the go-between all of the intel agencies and typically give the presentation to the president about what the intel agencies are saying or doing.
00:06:29.860He is also someone who folks in the White House have been a little bit frustrated with,
00:06:34.600not Donald Trump, obviously, because he discovered that Jesus meme, he is the one that Donald Trump
00:06:40.180talked with before he posted it. And so that caused a whole kerfuffle for folks. And that
00:06:46.840was reported out at the time. I will say this is once again, just Donald Trump finding folks who
00:06:51.680have no experience, it doesn't matter to him, trying to figure out how do I get the things
00:06:56.680that I want. And there is no one in the staff that's trying to stop him at a high level.
00:07:01.980They don't see it as their jobs. And we are going to see, I'm not in the predictions game,
00:07:07.200but likely going to see a lot more investigations, probably that have some kind of foreign policy
00:07:12.400aspect to it when it comes to how Bill Polk is going to run. Also, he seems like he's going to
00:07:16.180keep his other job. So he'll be doing both at this. Right. Yeah. President Trump in this post
00:07:20.700says he'll continue to do that job. Tulsa Gabbard sort of sidelined herself because she disagreed1.00
00:08:24.400it's tuesday second of june year of our lord 2026 president trump just sent a shot across the bow
00:08:35.180of a lot of folks with wild bill pulte they're sitting there dumping on uh bill pulte remember
00:08:41.260while bill donovan started oss did a magnificent job for president roosevelt during the second
00:08:46.320World War, and that was the forerunner of the CIA, Wild Bill Pulte. I would say that that is a
00:08:55.340middle finger to the Republican members in the Senate. It is a F.U. to the deep state,
00:09:02.020and I think it's a wake-up call to the White House staff. One thing you say about Bill Pulte,
00:09:06.360he's a man of action. President Trump wants action, wants action today. There's an article
00:09:14.460on Politico yesterday that I gave a quote that's telling about how the administration's, you know,
00:09:20.000bogged down and they're tired. It's kind of a, it's kind of a, you know, they're just grinding
00:09:26.320through things. Nothing seems to be working. And I give a quote to Politico. I say, hey, look,
00:09:31.240Mac is not going to end with a whimper instead of a bang. President Trump shows he's got all the
00:09:35.520juice coming out of Texas. People are looking to be motivated, but you got to take action.
00:09:41.200You just can't sit there and do nothing. And the first thing you got to do is start in the Republican Senate and have a throwdown that leads to a showdown with Thune. And I think putting Bill Pulte in as acting DNI director, that's a throwdown. That's President Trump saying, I'm not happy with the direction and speed of what things are going on. We'll get more into that in a moment. Jack Posobiec is with me.
00:10:05.020But talking to Texas and the motivation of the grassroots, the lieutenant governor of the great state of South Carolina joins us right now, Pamela Evitt.
00:10:14.100Ma'am, President Trump endorsed you last week.
00:10:16.820This is a hotly contested governor's race.
00:13:45.240South Carolina only one of two states where our judges are completely elected by the General Assembly.
00:13:49.800The governor and I for years have said, you know, the governor should appoint, the General Assembly can confirm, but we need to base it on a resume.
00:13:59.180Like, are you qualified to be in that position?
00:14:01.900If you are, we're going to term limit it and we're going to have a review process.
00:14:05.260Because we have seen around the country what happens when you get judges on the bench that start to get off the rails.
00:14:11.920And it becomes a revolving door for criminals.
00:14:14.720In South Carolina, we will keep our people safe.
00:16:54.820to be the commencement speaker at SC State.
00:16:58.260which is a historically black college and university. And I was at the White House.
00:17:03.740I was invited to be there when the king and queen were there. And there started to be stirring where
00:17:08.300students did not want me to be their commencement speaker. And they cited the reasons that I was
00:17:13.360pro-life and I was pro-Trump and I was anti-DEI and I was pro-law enforcement and I was pro-ice.
00:17:20.360And they said that my values didn't align up with theirs and they didn't want me. And it turned into
00:17:24.900a really big event where they were protesting. And then all of a sudden, SC State reached out
00:17:32.300to our offices and basically said, we have security concerns. We're going to have to
00:17:38.340rescind our invitation. And I was very clear that day after the political assassination of Charlie
00:17:45.620Kirk. I'm a mom. I have three children. My youngest is in college. And I said, we should
00:17:51.440get rid of tenure on all these college campuses. And so, you know, that just kind of led into what
00:17:57.400happened after SC state. I just said, listen, the people of South Carolina do not think that
00:18:03.860because we are a red state, that these kinds of things aren't happening. And that when I am their
00:18:08.320governor, any institution, I mean, any institution that wants to silence conservative speech,
00:18:15.280I will make sure that we take away their state funding, because if conservative speech isn't welcome anywhere, then our tax dollars of the conservatives that put that money in, their tax dollars aren't welcome there either.
00:18:29.120This gets back to, I just want to take a second, this gets back to these Senate, in the South Carolina Senate that fought on the redistricting, what you said about the Democrats, it was them.
00:18:37.340And this is kind of our theme this morning. And I think the President Trump designated while Bill Pulte to be DNI gets to the heart of this about taking action and moving out.
00:18:47.120We only have, you know, so much time. We had Sean Davis on here yesterday from the Federalist, who's not a, you know, he's not a hair on fire guy.
00:18:54.160He was saying the same thing. We're threatened by people like Paul Krugman, the Nobel Prize winning New York Times columnist, economist and columnist for The New York Times saying that we got to demagify the country and de-Trumpify the country after they stop President Trump.
00:19:10.760What is it about the establishment, not just in Washington, D.C., but also the states that sit there and think, like in the redistricting fight, oh, well, let's give the Democrats time to kind of think about it.
00:22:36.820Daniel, a little breaking news in just a moment ago.
00:22:39.440So Bill Pulte is a member, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a member of the Trump administration, made headlines over the last year because he's brought – he's accused Trump political foes of mortgage fraud, including Letitia James, Adam Schiff, senator from California.
00:22:54.480Fed Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, certainly seen as, and by some would say, a Trump henchman.
00:22:59.980Well, just a moment ago, President Trump has announced that he's appointing Pulte to be the acting director of national intelligence, DNI, to follow Tulsi Gabbard, who is resigning because her husband is battling illness and cancer.
00:23:14.220This would seem to be an escalation in Trump's efforts to relitigate 2020, those investigations, which Gabbard was already doing, but also potentially trying to build more acts of retribution against foes.
00:23:27.420It's all loyalty, right? Because Bill Pulte, who's a businessman, does not have experience in foreign policy in the way that you would probably want the DNI to actually have.
00:23:37.900Their job is to be the go-between all of the intel agencies.
00:23:42.060put put put a pin in that right now there and i'll get back to it um
00:23:45.980so this article in politico where you put that back up where i said mag is not going to end
00:23:53.300with a whimper instead of a bang president trump's got the juice it's just people got0.98
00:23:59.340to respect the juice and the way they respect it is sometimes you got to hit them upside the head
00:24:04.560now let's start let's go down the the the Republican Senate now I opined in this piece
00:24:11.580that um the first thing you do is you've got to you've got to throw down on Thune
00:24:18.580the Republican Senate has to have a come around
00:24:21.760everybody knows what a come around is right come and see the senior officer at the service
00:24:30.240academy so where you come and see somebody and get uh you get some words of guidance let's say
00:24:34.200that words of wisdom you've got to um it's it's a wake-up call for the for the senate and my belief
00:24:43.440is that the senate you got to start with a throwdown with with thun this is the beginning
00:24:47.860of that throwdown i think uh what he ought to do we ought to pick the topic recess appointments
00:24:54.060he's got to tell thun i want you to go on recess an official recess i don't want josh hawley or
00:25:00.300any of these guys and you can't single out Hawley because they all get a turn in the barrel but I
00:25:05.660like one of them say I'm not going to do that not going to do that and so um and the throwdown
00:25:11.780should be about recess appointments pick a topic you know we can win on we can win on this people
00:25:16.240are outraged about this and maybe in those recess appointments I don't know maybe Bill Pulte gets
00:25:22.200put put in as D&I you know not acting Jack Posobiec your thoughts about this this is a
00:25:28.500middle finger to the Republican Senate. It's a F you to the deep state because Pulte's a man of
00:25:34.420action. And I think it's a wake up call even for the White House staff, because I realize everybody's
00:25:38.340tired. There's been tremendous pressure. You've done so much in the first term, but people are
00:25:43.200sitting there going, man, there's so much going on. I'm getting tired. He wants action, action,
00:25:47.360action. And one thing you say about while Bill Pulte, he'll give you action, sir.
00:25:53.200Well, Steve, I just got to say, you know, and, you know, I was a little bit blindsided by this
00:25:58.440i didn't see this coming but my gosh my phone is blowing up uh signal chats you're going all over
00:26:06.000they said president trump they that president trump dropped a hot one i believe they call it
00:26:11.040when uh you know when he just tapped wild bull pulty over there because because what has bill
00:26:14.780done right when you look at what he's done it's it's not his you know and he's had good policy
00:26:20.540good housing policy he's been working with the white house to you know to help housing policy
00:26:25.020for, you know, get the, you know, single-payer household system back, something Charlie Kirk
00:26:28.880talked about. But you look at what he's done more importantly, and I think gotten more headlines,
00:26:34.040he's been the one to get the criminal referrals. Letitia James, Fannie Willis, Lisa Cook. There's
00:26:42.700a whole bunch. I think he did Schiff as well. Yeah, Schiff, Swalwell. Of course, I released a
00:26:47.700different video about Swalwell that people can see he was not at his house when that took place,
00:26:52.020by the way. And Pulte's the kind of guy where he just gets stuff done and then he goes back to
00:26:58.120work. And, you know, silent but deadly kind of guy, very aggressive supporter of the president,
00:27:04.040very aggressive supporter of the MAGA agenda. And Steve, to your point, what the president just did
00:27:09.900is say, you know what? I'm not taking names from the Senate. I'm not taking names from you guys.
00:27:14.560I'm not going over and, you know, brown nosing and asking the Senate what they want and their0.98
00:27:19.220They're storied, you know, this isn't from the club.0.86
00:27:25.960I'm not looking at an Ivy League graduate that has worked in the agency and then gone to an international,
00:27:34.020gone to work for an international investment bank and then gone to a private equity firm and then dipped in and out of administrations.0.67
00:30:03.580I think you'd be a perfect deputy to Pulte, given your years of experience as naval intelligence.
00:30:08.040I think you'd be great, a great deputy to him. And I'll make sure.
00:30:12.460Wait, wait, wait, wait. And and and years of experience being being a subject of of Democrat intelligence operations.
00:30:21.940Exactly. And, you know, Antifa, you know, you know, so much of this, which has to people should look at this as a wake up call.
00:30:28.200This is a wake-up call. The president is signaling you what he feels he needs to execute on his plan for his second term.
00:30:38.120And there's a lot of people leaning on their shovels or, you know, kind of off message here.
00:30:43.080And I think it's a wake-up call. He's looking for action, action, action.
00:30:46.940Does Bill Pulte have decades of experience in intelligence? No.
00:30:51.120Is that actually necessary to fill this billet? No. Right?
00:30:54.640You can get those experts around. You need someone of common sense and judgment and action.
00:30:59.580Well, let's let's let's take a look at the at the people who have had decades of of experience and intelligence and the leaders there.
00:31:07.360And what they've what what have they gotten us? Right. They've gotten us a situation where our country is flooded by migrants.
00:31:13.480We've got Antifa networks that are operating with impunity, by the way, impunity across Newark.0.96
00:31:19.120And then after I said over and over on human events and reported, I said on Friday, I said they are surging militants from all over the country into Newark.
00:31:28.540And then Mikey Sherrill, Mikey, who I campaigned against, by the way, even she had to come up and admit that I was 100 percent correct.
00:31:37.100And she said, I think it was four out of five of the people that they that had been arrested were all from outside Newark.
00:31:42.720By the way, they're arresting people in Newark right now from outside of Portland.
00:31:46.340They're coming all the way in for a point. Why? Because that's their most hardened fighters. What they've done is they've created a cadre of their most experienced fighters. Then they fly them in. They surge them in when operations move from one part of the country to another. And where were they doing in what were they doing in January with Greg Bovino, Commander Bovino up there in Minneapolis? That's what they were doing up there. That's why you're finding people from Minneapolis. They were from all over the country.
00:32:12.040Again, these are networks. This is an organization. There are cells all around the country that are being mobilized. They use crowdfunding apps. They use all sorts of these payment processing apps, which, of course, the Treasury secretary could go after in a second, in a heartbeat and dig in here.
00:32:31.000And so it wouldn't surprise me, by the way, if the appointment, and I certainly hope that the appointment of Bill Pulte over there,
00:32:37.180while Bill is an is a time where the DNI can actually start digging in on the domestic side of terrorism as well as the international.
00:32:47.740Oh, it has to. I think that's one of these. I think it's one of the reasons Pulte selected because Pulte will go there.
00:32:54.040As you as you know, that John Solomon, who New York Times reporting Solomon may go over in some temporary position on declassification.
00:33:01.000he is that's that's confirmed that's confirmed he's going to go over there on declassification
00:33:05.660but the john's been working on this thing about info go ahead if i if i understand and i don't
00:33:11.380get ahead of my skis here but i i think that's almost going to be like an independent sort of
00:33:15.120position across the intelligence agencies exactly exactly to work on big areas of declassification
00:33:22.800for the president uh but he continues to report the dni has come up with foreign interference
00:33:28.000the ccp's interference in the in the 2020 election and others but deep involvement in that
00:33:33.680also ukraine trying to like funnel money through usaid and fund it back into the biden campaign0.75
00:33:39.720this stinks to high heaven and people are like oh my gosh you know not just that uh about antifa
00:33:46.020everybody that's giving money to antifa should have been tracked already and shut down and perp
00:33:50.700walked it's just taking i think it's just taking too long people are going they're going through
00:33:55.920like normal course of business and process. That's not what Trump's about. Trump is about
00:34:00.560action, action, action. And I think this Bill Pulte is a shot across the bow of a lot of people
00:34:06.820to say, hey, look, I want action and I want guys like Bill Pulte. Is it going to be perfect?
00:34:11.860Probably not. But is it going to be directionally perfect? Probably yes. And I think that's what
00:34:16.620the president's telling people. You mentioned Bovino, you know, the DHS guy, the, you know,
00:34:22.940kung fu plumber took a shot at bovino yesterday bovino's been right about everything bovino had1.00
00:34:28.380the courage to tell the nation we have 100 million illegal aliens here and those people are not here0.91
00:34:33.380for the benefit of this country they're here for the benefit of themselves and foreign powers many0.99
00:34:38.400of the times and that's why they all got to go home and so it's the pulties and the bovinos of0.94
00:34:42.960the world that are going to take action and get results results the president's looking for in his
00:34:47.460second term, Jack Posobiec. That's exactly right. And what's great about this, too, is what do we
00:34:53.520know from Pulte's background when he was in the housing sector and on the public side as well
00:34:59.500is these referrals. So when he puts the information together, he is going to put together a package.
00:35:05.380He's going to start pulling records. What did Adam Schiff do? What did Eric Swalwell do? Remember,
00:35:10.420those were some of his top targets as well as who else? Letitia James and Fannie Willis. So look at
00:35:16.480the signal not the noise fanny willis that's georgia what do we know that tulsi was working
00:35:20.880on at dni georgia before and she i understand she's actually at the hospital right now with
00:35:25.580her husband where he's undergoing surgery i want to offer some some prayers to them as well from
00:35:29.620myself and from the on behalf of the posse uh because i understand they're they're currently
00:35:33.940um you know undergoing some surgery in the hospital with his bone cancer but so we know
00:35:39.020that she and there was that picture that went around and they're saying what's the dni doing
00:35:42.860down in fulton county georgia what do we know that bill pulte was working on fulton county georgia
00:35:49.520danny willis so he's someone who's been targeting this same problem set from a different direction
00:35:55.600but he's intimately involved with this and who else do we have from uh in all of that mike roman
00:36:01.160mike roman a great philadelphia republican by the way i kind of i don't know i gotta say those those
00:36:08.860philly conservatives steve you know say what you want about them but they fight
00:36:12.160I want to play some clips about the situation with the president, Bibi, yesterday.0.55
00:36:19.140I may cut it off. We've got about six minutes.
00:36:21.660I may jump in, Jack, because I want your thoughts on this.
00:36:25.980An Israeli airstrike today on southern Lebanon in a sea of mixed messages over the war.
00:36:30.680Semi-official Iranian state media says Tehran suspended talks with the U.S. over such strikes.
00:36:35.620The president says Hezbollah leaders have agreed that all shooting will stop.
00:36:39.800Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says the strikes will continue.
00:36:43.220Today, Axios is reporting that today's phone call between him and the president turned ugly,
00:36:47.560with President Trump asking Netanyahu, quote, what the F are you doing?
00:36:51.700And quote, everybody hates you now, everybody hates Israel because of this.
00:36:55.280The president reportedly lashing out at Netanyahu during expletive-laden conversation.
00:37:01.060That's according to U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call.
00:37:04.860According to one U.S. official, Trump told Netanyahu he was effing crazy and that the prime minister would be in prison if it were not for Trump, likely referring to the Israeli leader's years long corruption trial.0.66
00:37:17.360The president adding, quote, everybody hates you now.
00:37:20.880Everybody hates Israel because of this.
00:37:23.080That's the president of the United States.
00:37:24.540A second source briefed on the call said Trump was, quote, pissed and at one point yelled at Netanyahu, quote, what the F are you doing?
00:37:32.080One of the U.S. officials told Axios that Trump felt in recent days Netanyahu was escalating in a disproportionate way.
00:37:40.180Another U.S. official said Trump also was concerned by the fact that Israel had killed so many civilians in Lebanon
00:37:46.020and objected to the Israelis knocking down buildings to take out a single Hezbollah commander.
00:37:51.680What does President Trump have over Netanyahu?
00:38:16.660Just put a pin in it, and we'll come back to it.
00:38:19.480And do we have the tweet that Tel Aviv Levin put up shortly afterwards?
00:38:24.860you know tel aviv levin who's so supportive of the president as long as the president is doing
00:38:30.040exactly what israel first wants poso this gets to a deeper issue and i think this is where
00:38:34.820pulte will come in is that it's not simply as i said the other day before any of this broke
00:38:41.260that uh when the president put out a true social and said he had talked to bb and that like he had
00:38:48.520told bb you can't march to beirut i go what when are we marching to beirut um
00:38:54.160um they they uh have their own strategy in their own set of objectives of which they're fighting
00:39:01.680for which is fine if you have that but you got to do it on your own okay this is what if you're
00:39:07.180going to pursue the israel first project uh and i realize there's issues in southern lebanon i'm
00:39:12.140not saying there's not but if you're going to pursue that you're going to have to pursue that
00:39:15.740on your own but it gets back to hopefully what what tulsi i think could put forward and hopefully
00:39:21.700while Bill Pulte could get on top of. Let's go back to the beginning. From the very beginning
00:39:27.880of this, the intelligence has not been exquisite intelligence. You may have some targeting
00:39:34.960intelligence. That was fine if you look into regime change. But the intelligence has not been
00:39:40.680great. I mean, President Trump, if I remember correctly, Jack Posobiec had a total and complete
00:39:46.680obliteration of the nuclear program as he told us and in the intelligence community backed it up
00:39:52.340back in late june before charlie kirk was assassinated in late june of last year after
00:39:58.780we had the expeditionary force from uh of the b-2s and the uh navy uh submarines hitting it
00:40:05.380with tomahawk missiles obliterated the nuclear program at least for any time in the foreseeable
00:40:10.740future right the next couple of decades uh that took it out the intelligence he was being served
00:40:16.560was not good intelligence. We were making decisions upon bad, misleading information,
00:40:25.040and it's been that way since the beginning. That's why now President Trump is trying to
00:40:29.060work through some sort of deal with who knows who's on the other side of the table.
00:40:33.660The Wall Street Journal is reporting now Oman is in the gun sites because guess what? Oman likes0.92
00:40:38.940working with the Persians on the other side of the Hormuz who don't report to Tehran to close0.95
00:40:44.940the Strait of Hormuz, right? They got their own new deal. They're cutting out away from the Saudis0.70
00:40:49.500and away from the Gulf Emirates. So this is a movable feast of players President Trump's got
00:40:54.960to do. But at the railhead of it, sir, is faulty information that serves the purpose of the Israel
00:41:01.980first crowd. And that's why we're in the jammer in, sir. Well, Steve, look, just going off the0.87
00:41:07.840reports that came out that there was a promise from the Israeli prime minister's office that
00:41:13.880Iran would collapse, that they would fall apart with this strike on the supreme leader that the
00:41:21.600regime would would break, that the people would rise up. And we remember President Trump's initial
00:41:27.540speech where he urged the people to rise up. That hasn't happened. And we've also seen that the
00:41:34.820regime has been resilient in terms of being able to constitute itself, although as President Trump
00:41:39.580And Secretary Besson have explained, you know, at the press conference last week on Thursday, where it's the top layer and then the second layer have been taken out.
00:41:48.080Now you're dealing with this with this third layer. And of course, they got the Supreme Leader's son, the new the new Ayatollah.
00:41:53.040He's under lock and key. So the the what it believes Secretary Besson put it like this.
00:41:59.640It's not regime change, but the regime has changed.
00:42:02.500Point being, though, is whoever came into this and said this was all going to be, you know, a walk in the park, that this would be another Venezuela that just hasn't turned out.
00:42:13.280And then we saw the same people like Senator Cruz, Nikki Haley, Mark Levin and others saying that talking about this disastrous idea would have been a complete military disaster and a geopolitical disaster for the United States to airdrop our Marines or any quick response force into Carg Island.
00:42:31.580and that we should get involved in an island,
00:42:54.700saw how that level of escalation and brinksmanship
00:42:58.000would have gotten our men killed for no reason.
00:42:59.920And what did he decide to do very smartly was go to the naval blockade to use the influence of sea power on world history.
00:43:08.540And make no mistake, President Trump is using the influence of sea power on world history.
00:43:13.080He's now doing so to put this deal together.
00:43:15.800And people like Mark Levin and like the prime minister and apparently this national security minister, Ben Gavir, are very, very upset about it.
00:45:50.780He was told that 72 hours of strategic bombing or bombing campaign,
00:45:56.260principally by the Air Force, but also the United States Navy, carrier-based bombing,
00:46:01.340would lead to an uprising of the Persian people against the theocratic,
00:46:08.260murderous theocratic regime that's had them under their boot for 50 years.
00:46:11.940Although it might be said, I say this all the time,
00:46:13.820remember they put them in place they they threw us out back in uh in 79 in the monarchist and the
00:46:20.220in the in the the shah's son that have zero is virtually zero following in in back in persia
00:46:26.360um and so but he was told it'd be an uprising this would be an uprising and steve let's not
00:46:32.020let's not overlook the fact that that they threw they threw they threw the uh uh they threw the
00:46:38.620shah out because we put the shah there in the first place after we threw their other guy out0.84
00:46:42.120Yes. Now, so tell me about this was a pretty brutal and the White House has not pushed back on this.0.99
00:46:48.980I mean, this is a pretty brutal, you know, quote. These are direct quotes on.
00:46:54.200He just tired of me right now. He's tired. In fact, Mark Levin wants him prosecuted by the by the highest levels of the FBI.
00:47:02.960Is that correct? That's right. So Mark Levin has come out and said he had a post, you know, very, very aggressive,
00:47:11.080where he said that this is a leak of the high at the highest level and wants a prosecution there.
00:47:16.740And so, you know, amidst amidst everything else he's saying that it sounds like he's confirming that it's true, that the conversation was true.
00:47:26.120I'm not sure if there was a leak to live in as well as about his knowledge of the phone call.
00:47:32.080Of course, you know, we know that the president watches the show.
00:47:34.700And so he seemed to be confirming, you know, I would take that as confirmation of the Caputo report in Axios as well, although, of course, calling for the prosecution of Caputo sources.
00:47:46.980And this shows you an increasing frustration.
00:47:50.680The president wants to wind this thing up.
00:47:53.340He wants to figure out what is what is a deal that he can make, right, that keeps peace in the region, removes American troops and gets the flow of oil going.
00:48:02.780is that basically that's the tripartite that's the three-legged stool he's trying to work0.85
00:48:06.620and obviously there's some issues with hezbollah and others but bb's once again they always take
00:48:13.100it they're not you know america's greatest ally and by the way i've trademarked that
00:48:16.900america's greatest ally is going to do what they're going to do and that's not coming from
00:48:20.100me that's coming from the president in this conversation sir well and steve one thing that
00:48:25.200i that i would would also not to do a question against but just also to explain to folks is that
00:48:31.640Just because a reporter comes up in D.C. and says that, oh, I have a I have this report that's based on these sources.
00:48:39.640I can't name the sources. That doesn't mean that the report wasn't, in fact, coordinated with the White House.
00:48:46.040It may just be that the White House has decided that they don't want to put names on it for other reasons, for that's their own prerogative.
00:48:53.100But there are certainly times where I receive reporting this way.
00:48:57.320I had a phone again. I had a phone call last Sunday with a senior White House official, and that was an authorized communication.
00:49:05.460So it's very possible that that these communications for Caputo were all were in fact authorized, in which case it would not be a prosecutable offense because it wouldn't be a leak.
00:49:15.520It would be authorized. Given where we are and trying to get to some sort of a deal.
00:49:20.920And the president just said the other day, because I think it's so frustrating that you don't know who you're dealing with across the table.
00:49:26.380You don't know if they can execute and what they who they really represent and what kind of real power they have.
00:49:31.060He just told CNBC yesterday, hey, if it happens, happens, doesn't, you know, I'm kind of getting bored.
00:49:35.220I'm getting tired of it. Your thoughts about that, putting in context the conversation yesterday with with the Israeli high command.
00:49:44.680Well, Steve, it's very clear the president is working hard for peace on this.
00:49:48.960We saw the, you know, the 14 point plan that came out last weekend.
00:49:53.760I had a long Twitter thread about this right around the same time Axios was putting out
