00:00:00.000 I want to ask you about surveillance here and the lapse of a key authority.
00:00:05.640 On Thursday, the president did appoint Jay Clayton, he said,
00:00:09.600 who will be the next director of national intelligence instead of Bill Pulte, who I know you opposed.
00:00:15.460 Not only I opposed, but virtually all of the Republican senators who will know anything about national security opposed as well.
00:00:21.400 Yes, there are some pretty colorful statements.
00:00:23.400 But Clayton is the current U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, a former SEC chair.
00:00:27.680 How quickly can he move into the role?
00:00:30.500 I mean, he doesn't necessarily have the kind of extensive national security background that you would expect.
00:00:36.380 He was head of the SEC.
00:00:38.540 And as Southern District of New York, that's where we pursue a lot of our terrorists.
00:00:43.620 I know Jay.
00:00:44.540 I think he's got the right temperament.
00:00:46.080 I've got a lot of questions like, you know, who won the election in 2020?
00:00:49.540 So he at least acknowledges that truthfulness.
00:00:52.520 But remember, Margaret, this was totally caused by Donald Trump.
00:00:57.580 Well, he could have nominated Jay Clayton a week ago and we wouldn't have gone dark.
00:01:02.780 This is an extraordinary series of events that we have to take more time to talk about on the other side of the break.
00:01:07.420 Let me take it and we'll finish it. We'll be right back.
00:01:09.860 Before the break, Senator, we were talking about the next director of national intelligence.
00:01:15.180 The hearing for Jay Clayton is next week, this Wednesday. Right.
00:01:19.860 How quickly can he get confirmed? And and what does that do in terms of blocking Bill Pulte from ever taking the job?
00:01:29.640 Well, I've got questions for Jay, like want to make sure that he's going to maintain the integrity of our elections,
00:01:37.140 not try to pull the things that Miss Gabbard did where she was interfering in domestic election activities with the seizure of the ballots in Fulton County.
00:01:45.700 My hope is if we can get unanimous consent, we could even get him confirmed this week.
00:01:50.900 I would hope that the president would then say to Tulsi Gabbard, who is going to stay till the end of the month,
00:01:59.540 you know, stay at least until Clayton is confirmed or allow the number two to stay.
00:02:05.520 That's a shocking statement from you because you are a huge critic of Tulsi Gabbard.
00:02:09.740 I am a huge critic.
00:02:10.820 How much damage could Bill Pulte actually do in a matter of days?
00:02:14.000 Well, my fear is not so much the damage he could do on Section 702, which has a full audit trail.
00:02:20.560 If he misuses that, we'll figure it out.
00:02:23.120 But having him exposed where he doesn't even have a security clearance to all our nation's classified programs, out of ignorance, he might give away information.
00:02:33.340 I've had heads of our intelligence communities say to us they're terrified of showing him information.
00:02:39.200 I've had foreign governments express huge concern.
00:02:43.020 The one thing we know about Bill Pulte is he will do whatever Donald Trump says.
00:02:47.000 He was able to weaponize private mortgage insurance information.
00:02:51.220 Giving them the keys to the 18 intelligence agencies would be a disaster and a national security threat.
00:02:56.540 He is eminently qualified for this job.
00:02:59.140 The statute says that this person should have background in intelligence.
00:03:04.340 His background is an attorney.
00:03:05.760 Why is he qualified?
00:03:08.200 Why is he the right guy based on that?
00:03:09.500 Well, I think that the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York also deals with some intelligence matters.
00:03:18.420 But I also know that people who have had any experience or dealt with him in any fashion believe him to be somebody who is incredibly competent,
00:03:29.120 that can take on any task and manage it effectively.
00:03:31.680 But I do believe that to answer your question specifically,
00:03:34.140 I do think that position entails a certain amount of dealing with intelligence communities and agencies.
00:03:41.060 Pulte has the backing and the faith of the commander in chief.
00:03:46.520 That's all he needs.
00:03:47.940 He has the backing and faith of the commander in chief.
00:03:49.720 And now you have Mark Warner up front.
00:03:54.020 They're so worried about American citizens and the security of the country.
00:03:58.820 They're playing around with the FISA.
00:04:00.760 They're going to hold FISA as a hostage.
00:04:05.520 They put the gun up to the FISA head.
00:04:07.140 They're going to hold FISA as a hostage to stop Bill Pulte.
00:04:11.560 If that group hates Bill Pulte so much, then above all else, Bill Pulte must get in. 1.00
00:04:21.220 All I need to know is that collection of scumbags and incompetence. 1.00
00:04:26.260 If they were just scumbags, we could do. 1.00
00:04:28.600 If they were competent scumbags, you could deal with that. 1.00
00:04:31.760 They're a lethal combination of totally and completely incompetent and scumbags. 1.00
00:04:39.440 And who knows of that group who sold out to foreign powers? 1.00
00:04:43.060 OK, who sold out to foreign powers?
00:04:45.500 I don't trust Cotton as far as you can tell me.
00:04:47.280 People in Arkansas should be embarrassed that that guy's in the United States Senate.
00:04:50.360 And now he's proven his true colors.
00:04:52.720 He's working with Mark Warner to thwart this.
00:04:55.140 And this all gets back to John Thune.
00:04:58.600 Right now, we've got to force this. Thune has got to go. Just bottom line, all you guys in the Senate, you like sharing your committees, you're going to lose. No one has any enthusiasm at all, at all, in going and going door to door or to engage, to have voter engagement.
00:05:17.460 The question of going forward expeditiously on Jay Clayton is a question about making sure that Mr. Pulte never sets foot inside the DNS building and never gets a look at all of our national security secrets.
00:05:35.400 And I think that is a worthy goal.
00:05:37.580 I would say that that is a middle finger to the Republican members in the Senate.
00:05:43.560 It is a F.U. to the deep state.
00:05:46.000 And I think it's a wake up call to the White House staff. One thing you say about Bill Pulte, he's a man of action. President Trump wants action, wants action.
00:05:54.880 I'm going to ask you about Jay Clayton, the DNI nominee. You just met with him. What do you think of him?
00:06:00.260 Well, first of all, I'm trying to do everything possible to avoid Bill Pulte, who is totally unqualified, doesn't even have a security clearance, getting the keys to the 18 intelligence agencies.
00:06:11.640 This goes way beyond our debate about Section 702. This guy should not be inside the most secrets of our secrets in terms of our 18 intelligence agencies.
00:06:21.300 You know, I've known Jay Clayton. I think he will stand up for the Constitution. I got a lot of questions tomorrow.
00:06:27.560 Will he make sure there's no D&I interference in our elections? Will he acknowledge Joe Biden won the presidency?
00:06:33.540 Will he make clear that he will speak truth to power, even if it's uncomfortable?
00:06:38.640 But end of the day, I do think Clayton will be confirmed.
00:06:41.700 And my hope is that we can move it along quickly so that Pulte never actually gets into the job.
00:06:46.900 We could actually get Clayton conformed by the end of the week.
00:06:49.460 People can still vote against him if they want to.
00:06:52.840 But let's not let Pulte get a look at our nation's most important secrets.
00:06:58.620 What's up with 702 and FISA?
00:07:00.220 Is that going to get reaffirmed eventually?
00:07:03.860 This was always going to be a heavy lift.
00:07:07.500 You know, 70% of the president's daily brief is included, comes from Section 702 collections.
00:07:14.380 It's terribly critical.
00:07:15.740 It has expired.
00:07:16.840 We are still, you know, some of the telcos are still participating.
00:07:20.760 I'm afraid, though, they may get called out by a shareholder and say, don't participate.
00:07:24.820 So that's all up in the air.
00:07:26.340 I believe, and there are probably 20% of the Democrats, 25% of the Democrats who agree that we can't allow this tool to go vacant.
00:07:36.620 or go unused. President Obama supported it. President Biden supported it. And I do think
00:07:42.620 we have put in good reforms. We can always do better. But I sure don't want, God forbid,
00:07:48.420 something happens while 702 is expired. And this president who's not really been that supportive
00:07:53.840 of it, but would then claim, you see, bad things happen because the Democrats didn't renew this
00:07:58.360 tool. These people are arrogant. And right now they're doing very sophisticated war gaming, 0.99
00:08:03.700 very sophisticated, let's say, association with intelligence agencies and I think rogue
00:08:10.180 law enforcement agencies. This is why it's so important. Jim Marchand said earlier on our show
00:08:16.260 today, Jim Marchand has information about how his election was stolen. What did he do? He went to
00:08:22.840 Tulsi Gabbard. Why has Tulsi Gabbard been so important? Because as director of national
00:08:27.880 intelligence, she has information about the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign actors
00:08:33.600 hacking into the registration systems, hacking into at least 18 to 20 states of voter registrations.
00:08:42.560 That's why she was in Atlanta. That's why she went to Maricopa County.
00:08:46.380 That's why Jim Marchant went to her. Well, Tulsi Gabbard is leaving next Friday.
00:08:51.000 Why do you think they do not want Bill Paltty to step foot into a DNI headquarters?
00:08:57.140 Why are they moving heaven and earth and Democrats today? Mark Warner, Chuck Schumer.
00:09:03.840 And right before we came on air, Focahontas, Elizabeth Warren all came and said we'd be jeopardizing national security if we allow Bill Pulte to step foot in the DNI.
00:09:14.860 You know what it would be jeopardizing? Bill Pulte would understand exactly where to go in Tulsi Gabbard's files to look at the information about stolen elections, stolen elections in Nevada, stolen elections in Georgia, stolen elections in Maricopa County.
00:09:33.160 the 2020 big steal. He would know exactly where to go. And that information is sitting in those
00:09:39.700 files. And that is the only reason the Republican establishment and Democrats have come together
00:09:45.540 to say, hey, we have to move heaven and earth. You have to remember how extraordinary it is of
00:09:52.140 what they're trying to do with Jay Clayton to get him in. Normally, it would take you months on a
00:09:57.360 DNI nominee to put their records together of all the foreign contacts they've had. And Jay Clayton
00:10:04.300 has a tremendous track record. He was managing director of Sullivan and Cromwell, one of the
00:10:10.100 most prominent law firms in the country, the law firm of Goldman Sachs, the law firm who's one of
00:10:15.220 the most senior partners, was John Foster Dulles before he helped set up the CIA. It would take
00:10:21.140 months for Jay Clayton to put together just his foreign contacts so they could do due diligence
00:10:26.500 about what that means. Jay Clayton right now was nominated, I think, on Thursday. This coming
00:10:33.100 Wednesday, this coming Wednesday, he's going to have our next Wednesday, he's going to have a
00:10:38.240 hearing. And then Thursday, excuse me, it's this week, Wednesday, he's going to have a hearing.
00:10:43.340 Thursday, they're going to have a vote. Friday, he's going to go in and be sworn in. They are
00:10:48.240 waiving everything in the Senate to do it by voice acclamation to get him in. Why is that?
00:10:53.940 It's very simple.
00:10:55.260 They don't want Bill Pulte going in DNI so he can get his hands on the stolen elections
00:11:01.340 that the apparatus has allowed to steal, and they've looked the other way and covered up
00:11:05.600 when we've had foreign interference.
00:11:07.500 So what does this mean?
00:11:08.920 Without Pulte at DNI, without Tulsi Gabbard at DNI, with no Save America Act, we have
00:11:15.320 literally none of the infrastructure that should have been in place to help guard against
00:11:20.720 the stolen election.
00:11:21.420 That means it's all going to come down on your shoulders.
00:11:26.360 Yanked his pick for intelligence chief to be head of the Department of National Intelligence,
00:11:32.200 director of national intelligence, I should say.
00:11:34.580 Jay Clayton, I guess, will not be at a Senate hearing today.
00:11:38.500 It seems to put the nomination process on hold.
00:11:41.620 And the president says that Bill Pulte will remain as acting director of national intelligence for now.
00:11:46.880 The president also said he refused to approve FISA, the surveillance law, without a voter I.D. bill to save America Act attached to it, which is a no go for Democrats.
00:11:58.260 As Punchbowl puts it, all of this together spells disaster for Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
00:12:04.840 I'm not looking at an Ivy League graduate that that has worked in the agency and then gone to an international gone work for an international investment bank and then gone to a private equity firm and then dipped in and out of administrations.
00:12:19.300 I'm looking for a brawler. Right. I think I want a brawler.
00:12:24.320 Everybody should take that as the equivalent of a papal bull.
00:12:28.500 He picked a fighter. You should take that as a papal bull.
00:12:31.540 He's sending you a signal. Action, action, action.
00:12:38.220 It's Wednesday, 17 June in the year of our Lord, 2026 overnight explosive, whether it's the deal in Iran, a criminal investigation, as we told you was going to happen on this leak to the New York Times writer Haberman and Jonathan Swan.
00:12:54.860 But the biggest news, obviously, the president of the United States in the middle of the night here.
00:13:00.240 But I guess maybe four o'clock in the morning, five o'clock in the morning there.
00:13:04.740 Put out a true social.
00:13:06.600 Jack Posobiec, you're with me.
00:13:08.000 We got about a minute.
00:13:08.720 We're going to go to break.
00:13:10.000 You saw in Warner.
00:13:11.600 What did Warner say?
00:13:12.720 The first question I'm going to ask Jay Clayton is who won the 2020 election?
00:13:16.140 What we're really afraid is of getting in there and putting their hands on election fraud.
00:13:21.000 He says Tulsi Gabbard went to Fulton County. 0.92
00:13:24.060 Hey, Warner, you damn right. We know exactly what you fear. And this is why Bill Pulte is going in 0.95
00:13:30.400 for at least three or four months as the acting director of DNI and Tom Cotton. Can we get Tom
00:13:35.640 Cotton? People in Arkansas, you should be humiliated that Cotton represents you. After
00:13:41.300 the president of the United States put that true social up with all the pressure he's got trying
00:13:45.120 to solve this deal and dealing with those clowns over the G7, Cotton puts up a tweet that says,
00:13:51.020 we intend to have this hearing today and we want Jay Clayton to show up. Cotton should be turfed 0.65
00:13:57.740 out for this. You're out of control. You're already completely owned by the Mossad and 0.98
00:14:03.420 AIPAC. It is disgusting that you're sitting there and challenging the president of the United States.
00:14:08.640 The rot in the Senate goes deep. It just ain't Thune. It's Cotton. It's Lindsey Graham. It's 0.76
00:14:14.460 all of them. They're going to challenge the president of the United States. Bill Pulte is
00:14:18.840 going in his dni and you're gonna like it because it's happening poso give me 30 seconds before you

00:16:43.560 The hearing for Jay Clayton is next week,
00:16:46.740 this Wednesday, right?
00:16:48.260 How quickly can he get confirmed?
00:16:50.560 And what does that do
00:16:53.700 in terms of blocking Bill Pulte
00:16:55.960 from ever taking the job?
00:16:57.580 Well, I've got questions for Jay.
00:16:59.680 Like, I want to make sure
00:17:00.860 that he's going to maintain
00:17:02.780 the integrity of our elections,
00:17:05.180 not try to pull the things that Ms. Gabbard did where she was interfering in domestic election activities with the seizure of the ballots in Fulton County.
00:17:13.720 My hope is if we can get unanimous consent, we could even get him confirmed this week.
00:17:18.940 I would hope that the president would then say to Tulsi Gabbard, who was going to stay till the end of the month,
00:17:27.600 you know, stay at least until Clayton is confirmed or allow the number two to stay.
00:17:33.560 That's a shocking statement from you, because you are a huge critic of Tulsi Gabbard.
00:17:37.780 I am a huge critic.
00:17:38.760 How much damage could Bill Pulte actually do in a matter of days?
00:17:42.080 Well, my fear is not so much the damage he could do on Section 702, which has a full audit trail.
00:17:48.600 If he misuses that, we'll figure it out.
00:17:51.180 But having him exposed where he doesn't even have a security clearance to all our nation's classified programs,
00:17:58.360 out of ignorance, he might give away information.
00:18:01.200 I've had heads of our intelligence communities say to us they're terrified of showing him information.
00:18:07.360 I've had foreign governments express huge concern.
00:18:10.980 The one thing we know about Bill Pulte is he will do whatever Donald Trump says.
00:18:15.020 He was able to weaponize private mortgage insurance information.
00:18:19.260 Giving them the keys to the 18 intelligence agencies would be a disaster and a national security threat.
00:18:24.980 He will do anything.
00:18:26.540 President Trump is commander in chief of the United States. 0.53
00:18:29.860 you damn right he's going to do what president trump wants that's the problem and they tell you 0.88
00:18:36.020 exactly election integrity we're gonna ask we're gonna ask uh we're gonna ask his first question 0.96
00:18:41.960 who won 2020 guess what donald john trump did even hitler's coming out and saying the thing
00:18:47.460 was a huge mistake to to put biden in and to run him again all of it it's right there in living
00:18:55.160 color. This is why Pulte has to go in. Any staffer that fights that ought to be turfed out
00:19:01.280 immediately. Any senator or congressman, anybody in the Senate, a Republican that shows up to that
00:19:08.100 hearing today and wants Jay Clayton there for some kind of media thing, turf them out. Turf them out.
00:19:16.360 Poso, your thoughts, sir? Well, Steve, we look at this and we know there's only a few things
00:19:23.780 that sparked the pathogen response from the elite club of the swamp like election integrity or
00:19:31.060 digging into the wuhan institute of viral of uh virology and and all of this something has them
00:19:39.420 spooked and that's something they're telling us more clearly now is if bill bolty goes in
00:19:46.180 and starts pulling records as pertains to fulton county georgia where we just had a massive election
00:19:53.180 last night, by the way. Mike Collins, of course, getting a huge victory over John Ossoff, an
00:19:58.740 incredible patriot, by the way. But these guys are terrified of saying that, wait, Pulte goes in
00:20:04.520 there. He won't play by the sheet of music that we present. You see, Steve, because it's all about
00:20:11.160 the Senate Intelligence Committee. And that's why Senator Cotton, I posted up the link, by the way,
00:20:16.120 to True Social. Maybe Senator Cotton's staff forgot to show him that link to the president
00:20:20.780 has already canceled the hearing today so there's no hearing that's going to be happening
00:20:25.480 hang on hang on full stop full stop full stop go go to that put it back put put put what trump
00:20:32.980 said jack you walk the audience through this the commander-in-chief of the united states
00:20:37.160 canceled that in the wee hours of morning here and in you know about uh i guess about four or
00:20:44.280 five o'clock over there he canceled it he couldn't have been any he couldn't success he couldn't be
00:20:49.280 Blunner, I want you to walk us through that. And then I want to see what Cotton just said.
00:20:53.740 We're going to have the hearing anyway. Jack, walk us through it.
00:20:58.920 Yes, Steve, it's real clear. We have something called the United States Constitution. It's the
00:21:02.720 operating document upon which this government exercises authority in the country. And under
00:21:10.500 the Constitution, the president makes the appointments. The president, not the Senate,
00:21:15.780 not the head of the Senate intel community, the president. And it is the president who then gets
00:21:22.640 the advice and consent of the Senate after the appointments take place. So there's no
00:21:29.820 appointments that happen without the president. If the president says that an appointment or a
00:21:34.260 hearing or any of this is canceled, then you have to stand down. That's the way it works.
00:21:39.260 We have a system of co-equal branches in this country. There's not now we could talk about
00:21:44.500 judiciary on that uh something which in which i agree with mark levin by the way uh that there is
00:21:50.900 no call for any senator to say that we're going to put up an appointment that the president has
00:21:56.360 already pulled down that's what he said he said you know what we're done with this game if you
00:22:01.200 guys want to not make good on the deal that we have already made with you then we're going to
00:22:05.520 pull down our appointment we're going to allow bill bolty to go in build a bulldog but you guys
00:22:09.960 seem to have such a huge problem with the president himself steve said it even before we came out this
00:22:15.780 week he was up on sunday watching the news clips back home while he was or excuse me it was monday
00:22:20.880 morning after the ufc and he's watching on the plane as he's on his way to france and said
00:22:24.200 why are they so terrified of bill the bulldog balty why are they so terrified of him going
00:22:28.880 down to fulton county why are they so terrified of him pulling the receipts looking at what tulsi
00:22:33.120 has already been digging on already been digging up down there because we saw when she showed up 1.00
00:22:38.520 there was a problem. And Steve, I'm just going to say it. Could it be, could it be that there
00:22:43.680 was some kind of foreign interference or some kind of penetration of those election systems
00:22:50.800 down there in Bolton County that leads to a massive, massive problem with that 2020 count?
00:22:58.020 It's been suppressed. Think about what they said at the end. Think about what Warner said about the
00:23:03.440 deep state. He said, there are department heads in these 17 departments that won't show Pulte
00:23:08.760 anything because they don't think he's qualified, and foreign governments. This is the problem.
00:23:14.260 You've got MI5, MI6, you've got these other foreign intelligence or the French, they've got as much
00:23:19.440 control, the Mossad, they've got as much control over your country, more control than you as
00:23:25.080 American citizens. Mark Warner just said it right there. There are certain department heads that
00:23:29.180 don't think he's qualified and will not show him classified information and oh by the way foreign
00:23:34.220 governments are coming right now damn right i guess warner you're this warner's another trader 0.75
00:23:39.120 cotton's a trader all of them are traders they gotta they gotta be slammed down right now this
00:23:45.220 pulte deal is bigger than pulte this is about actually who runs the deal does the commander 0.90
00:23:51.540 in chief or a bunch of grundoons on people's payrolls over in capitol hill sir
00:23:56.480 yes steve again i go back to constitution donald j trump is the president of the united states
00:24:04.400 that is who runs the government all information flows from his authority this is an understanding
00:24:11.240 that was codified into law but it goes all the way back to general george washington when he
00:24:16.100 was sending those dispatches during the war for the revolution the war for our country the war
00:24:21.340 for independence that we are commemorating in just a few days time here up at valley forge
00:24:25.860 that was general washington's codified secret information about what was coming next with the
00:24:32.300 troop movements of the british were that is the commander-in-chief's information does not belong
00:24:37.840 to the department heads does not belong to international organizations no the commander-in-chief
00:24:43.960 who by the way last time i checked is the commander-in-chief of the entire united states
00:24:48.760 every branch of the military and the most powerful military on the face of the planet he was elected
00:24:54.880 not any of them and steve i feel like i'm getting you know i feel like i'm getting deja vu because
00:25:00.900 this is the exact same thing that they all said about president trump they all said we can't give
00:25:06.620 this guy remember steve they said he's going to be selling classified information to russia they
00:25:10.260 said everything under the sun about him when he got access to classified oh we can't do this we
00:25:14.960 can't allow this national security threat, et cetera, et cetera. And what did the president do?
00:25:19.380 He declassified intelligence. He declassified information about what the intelligence
00:25:24.640 agencies were up to. And Steve, don't don't forget that they're all reeling right now
00:25:29.040 because Tulsi Gabbard, what did she do last week? She dropped the report about the Ukrainian 0.88
00:25:33.720 bio labs. How many more of those bombshells are sitting on the desk that she probably left
00:25:40.060 for bill the bulldog to walk in and start pressing the red button on look you're a professional from
00:25:45.960 this area here's what i've argued from the beginning uh i think jay clayton will be a
00:25:50.600 fine i mean he's not a glass breaker he's a systems player like having a systems quarterback
00:25:55.160 but if you're going to confirm him do it in a normal way not gun decked over five days because
00:26:02.520 you want to jam somebody in there that's beholden to you and keep bill pulte out jack as you know
00:26:08.860 I think it's 10 years. It might be 15 years. I think it's at least 10 years. One of the things
00:26:13.100 you have to follow, particularly on a high security clearance, is every foreign meeting
00:26:18.520 you've had in the last 10 years. Jay Clayton was the managing partner of the executive committee
00:26:26.220 of Sullivan and Cromwell, which is a known law firm that, let's say this, has a lot of intelligence
00:26:32.020 expertise. It was the law firm of John Foster Dulles when he and Wild Bill Donovan set up OSS
00:26:38.840 and then set up the CIA afterwards, John Foster Dulles is considered one of the guys that Kennedy
00:26:46.320 had a belly full of, and he and his brother Alan Dulles, and ran him out of there when he wanted
00:26:51.660 to break up the CIA. What Clayton has to do, because you have thousands of contacts, he's also
00:26:58.860 been the general counsel of Alibaba when Alibaba went public, and Alibaba has now designated the
00:27:05.220 technology side as a chinese military asset i got a minute i want to hold it through but just a
00:27:09.980 regular process to fill it out it'll take a couple of months that's what the president's saying let's
00:27:13.480 send paulty in while we're going through a normal order of a confirmation of jay clayton well and
00:27:19.080 and so steve what you're referring to is called the ssbi the single scope background investigation
00:27:24.220 uh even even me coming in as a as an enlisted sailor when i had my first uh ssbi that they
00:27:31.140 were going through facebook contacts you know who do you who you matching with on facebook who are
00:27:35.600 you you know friends with on here have you you know i i traveled to china i've lived there for
00:27:39.960 two years so of course i had to go through all that i had to give addresses i had to give this
00:27:43.900 where i worked this is who you can contact point of contact for each of them and they have to make
00:27:47.900 contact with each point person along the way and steve by the way it's not just contacts it's
00:27:54.180 finances they have to go through all your finances as well to make sure that you don't have a couple
00:28:00.880 three things that could be used potentially as leverage for you not just when you have access
00:28:06.240 to classified information as you do would in the case of an intelligence asset or intelligence
00:28:10.640 officer but now you're the director of national intelligence so it's 10 times more important to
00:28:16.440 make sure that you don't have any foreign entanglements that could be used as leverage
00:28:20.700 jack uh i know you are busy but i gotta have you hold through the break i gotta talk to you about
00:28:26.900 the deal. The 12 or 14 points was put up by Bloomberg earlier this morning. Jack Posobiec
00:28:32.560 is going to stick around and be on the other side as we break that down. Jim Rickard is going to join

00:30:24.460 War Room.
00:30:25.360 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:30:29.380 President Trump's doing a bilat with Modi.
00:30:34.360 Love Modi, a hardcore, tough nationalist.
00:30:40.100 And we got that in the box.
00:30:41.800 You can go through.
00:30:42.320 I think that's streaming or it may just wrapped up there behind closed doors.
00:30:45.300 We'll put those up throughout the morning.
00:30:47.700 I think the president is doing a presser.
00:30:49.160 We're going to cover that. 0.99
00:30:50.000 So we're juggling Posobiec.
00:30:52.120 The 12 Bloomberg printed the 12 point, the 12 point deal.
00:30:57.360 I would observe that this is not negotiated by Donald John Trump.
00:31:01.900 Right.
00:31:03.040 At least Steve, the 12 things I saw.
00:31:05.520 So what do you got?
00:31:06.120 What are your thoughts, Steve?
00:31:07.480 So the president actually, I don't know.
00:31:09.500 The president must be watching War Room right now because he's up there with Modi and he just started talking about Bill Pulte.
00:31:16.060 I've just seen the clip.
00:31:17.480 I'll send it over to the engine room staff here at the War Room.
00:31:21.740 But he said exactly the same thing.
00:31:23.780 He said they are working on.
00:31:26.140 He said this is a rush job by the Democrats, that Bill Pulte is a smart guy.
00:31:30.340 He's an intelligent guy.
00:31:31.400 He's a brilliant guy.
00:31:32.160 He's done an incredible job, made a ton of money over at Fannie and Freddie for the government, was able to fix those systems and said, wait a minute.
00:31:39.500 why are they doing a rush job there's the president of the united states i'm paraphrasing
00:31:43.060 right here as he's sitting with modi he said why are they doing this rush job to get the new guy in
00:31:49.060 without giving us anything where's the save america act and he what he goes in why don't
00:31:53.440 i have the save america act if all of a sudden you guys are pushing this and he goes where's
00:31:57.560 my single person voting where's my no uh mail-in ballots where's my single day voting where's voter
00:32:02.920 id we want all of this and they're going to take away uh pulte and they're doing away with the now
00:32:08.240 Now they're saying the FISA Act isn't good enough.
00:32:09.900 And he's playing full hardball with them, Steve.
00:32:13.520 But this is a Trump negotiation.
00:32:15.320 Trump's saying, hey, first off, you're not giving me Save America,
00:32:18.700 so I can't clean up the mess.
00:32:20.580 Oh, by the way, you're petrified of Pulte going in
00:32:23.020 because he's going to find the receipts for the mess.
00:32:25.840 Okay?
00:32:26.200 So we're not doing this anymore.
00:32:27.600 Pulte's going to go in, and John Thune, before you do anything,
00:32:30.960 you're going to attach, I don't care what it is,
00:32:33.400 you're going to attach Save America.
00:32:35.340 This is what we've hoped for, a throwdown,
00:32:38.240 that leads to a showdown. We need a showdown with the Senate. The Senate is treating President
00:32:43.260 Trump as a lame duck. That has to end, or we're going to lose the Senate. That's what I keep
00:32:49.720 saying. Nobody in this audience, nobody throughout the country, I talk to them, they have no intention
00:32:54.080 of going door to door and canvassing for these deadbeat senators. Jack Posobiec.
00:33:00.140 Now, Steve, that's exactly right. Look, this is what we were saying all last week. The Senate
00:33:04.840 doesn't have the leverage here. President Trump has the leverage here. If they want something so
00:33:11.100 bad, what are they willing to concede? What are they willing to give up? This is where the Save
00:33:17.440 America Act comes in. And by the way, the president doesn't want FISA. There's no one who's been more
00:33:22.420 abused by FISA than President Donald J. Trump. So they need to go to him to say, Mr. President,
00:33:29.540 please, please, could we get some extension? We'll put some protections in. I'd love to see FISA
00:33:33.580 a reform on this, by the way, or maybe even scrap the thing and create an entire new system.
00:33:37.960 Right. That'd be my pie in the sky choice for all of this. But Steve, what the president is
00:33:42.300 sitting there doing saying, wait a minute, you're asking me to sign off on all this stuff
00:33:45.820 and you're not giving me anything. You're not giving me a dime. You're not giving me a crumb.
00:33:50.180 And then I'm sure that the president's crack staff sent him that Senator Cotton tweet and
00:33:56.540 said that they're defying you. He said, oh, you know something? Fine. Not only are we throwing
00:34:00.200 down on Pulte. We're also bringing back the Save America Act because you know something?
00:34:05.000 The price just got a little bit higher. It got higher. Suck on this, right? It just goes up.
00:34:11.460 The price of the brick is going up. The price of the brick going up.
00:34:16.220 Before I lose you, the 12 or 14 point plan, Bloomberg leaked. Somebody gave it to them,
00:34:21.940 obviously, and they put it out today. So it's all out there. Have you had a chance to go through it,
00:34:26.280 Well, Steve, I've gone through, but I see that I've got a 12 point plan from Bloomberg. I've got a 14 point plan from CNN. We've got all sorts of different pieces of this floating around. And of course, the White House is pushing back. I saw Stephen Chung was pushing back and said, this is not comport with reality for what we're seeing with the MOU. And so we do need to wait for the White House to actually put that out.
00:34:48.540 I do think the president is using a little bit of his flair for the theatrical here.
00:34:53.440 He wants people asking what's in it.
00:34:55.260 He wants to be the one that releases it himself.
00:34:57.960 Of course, he knows how to build the drama on this.
00:35:01.360 That's clearly what he's using here for that.
00:35:03.280 But look, when it comes down to it, Steve, this $300 billion, I keep seeing the mainstream media lying about the $300 billion.
00:35:10.620 There's not a dime of U.S. taxpayer funds that are going towards that or any of this.
00:35:15.040 He's talking about an investment fund that might be used by the Gulf nations.
00:35:19.360 It's not U.S. dollars.
00:35:20.500 Hang on.
00:35:21.280 But why don't we – we don't want to be involved with these people going forward.
00:35:25.420 Even the concept of the investment fund.
00:35:26.540 But it's not about being involved.
00:35:27.980 If the Gulf nations want to go in, they can go in.
00:35:30.340 No, no, no, no.
00:35:31.380 When you set up an investment fund to be part of it, trust me, we'll be in there.
00:35:34.580 You'll be approving projects.
00:35:35.620 How about this?
00:35:36.640 The Gulf nations – I think the president said half of money is already raised, right, 150 billion or whatever from the Emirates.
00:35:43.400 Hey, how about going to us?
00:35:44.960 how about a little something for the effort? What about, first off, they have $100 billion
00:35:48.880 that they want, $24 billion in this thing. They got $100 billion. We've frozen throughout the
00:35:53.600 world. Now, we can't get our hands on all of it, some of the CCP and CCP banks, but there's enough
00:35:59.560 out there. Why don't we sweep that for our own account, number one? That shouldn't go, listen,
00:36:03.720 you know that you're one of the most strongest advocates about not getting in this war. The
00:36:08.660 intelligence was all cooked. We cannot stand the Greater Israel Project, although we say that we
00:36:14.080 should defend uh israel or work with israel but now in this deal they want their sovereignty they 0.85
00:36:19.740 should be cut loose they go do hezbollah and whoever else they do as an independent sovereign
00:36:23.820 nation go do it but we can't get in the business of giving these guys all this money and give them
00:36:29.140 access we got the sanctions keep the sanctions on don't let them sell any oil don't put in 300
00:36:34.480 billion dollars let anybody do it take the 100 billion they got sweep it how about paying for 0.96
00:36:39.320 the crap that we've been doing. We've got three carrier battle groups. Pay for every piece of 0.75
00:36:44.360 cost that we got, Jack. And then how about this? How about a bonus for the sailors on the Iranian
00:36:50.260 money? How about a little bonus for being over there for months and months and months? I think
00:36:55.920 we're looking at this cockeyed. We shouldn't be doing anything for these people, right? Pull out
00:36:59.880 and let the Saudis, UAE, Qatar, and the European nations
00:37:05.840 who have to get that oil, also the CCP, maybe South Korea and Japan,
00:37:12.180 you figure it out with the pirates in the Hormuzo Straits. 0.86
00:37:15.080 You figure it out with the Houthis on the Red Sea. 0.96
00:37:18.200 You figure it out. 0.95
00:37:18.960 Steve, you want to go?
00:37:20.080 We'll keep the battle group out there on ready
00:37:23.960 because we've got to put a battle group somewhere.
00:37:26.100 We don't want the meds, screw Europe, okay? 0.91
00:37:28.180 Let's put it permanently out there, steam it back and forth.
00:37:31.100 We go to the U.K. and say we're buying Diego Garcia.
00:37:34.080 We all poured it out of there, right?
00:37:36.380 Bob's your uncle, sir.
00:37:38.940 No, I'll do you one better.
00:37:40.960 How about not just for the sailors, of course, and for the families of the fallen that we lost at the outside of this.
00:37:46.880 I don't want to lose sight of that either.
00:37:48.200 But also, Steve, how about for the American people, for the American people, a summer-long tax holiday that is underwritten by every single member of the coalition of these Middle Eastern nations that came in, that we went in, that we defended, whether it be the Gulf nations.
00:38:09.160 And by the way, that includes Israel.
00:38:10.720 I love it.
00:38:11.720 I love it.
00:38:12.480 Hey, everybody chips in.
00:38:13.960 Summer-long tax holiday for the American people. 0.95
00:38:16.000 By the way, I don't think we need Israel's cash, 0.76
00:38:18.360 but I want to take the Persian Gulf,
00:38:20.020 all these guys putting in for the Reconstruction Fund.
00:38:22.580 It's Reconstruction in the American economy. 0.74
00:38:24.720 We're going to take the money, and we ought to take every penny. 0.91
00:38:27.480 Well, see, maybe we just draw down on the accounts that we're sending over.
00:38:32.300 Maybe we can pay for it by not sending as much money to the Middle East.
00:38:36.100 Just saying.
00:38:37.400 Hey, here's the thing. 0.88
00:38:38.900 that we know that the people, the Persians, took to the streets
00:38:44.180 when Scott Besson started destroying their currency,
00:38:48.600 and Rickard's going to be here in a second.
00:38:49.880 He's a currency war guy.
00:38:51.880 Unfortunately, 20,000, 30,000, I don't know what the number is.
00:38:55.900 A lot of them died, but they were up in arms and in the streets.
00:38:59.520 That's what you need to do.
00:39:00.640 Bring down their economy, and we don't need any kinetic activity,
00:39:03.560 and all we need to do is keep one carrier battle group out there on the ready
00:39:08.360 which is not bad we're steaming around there just as like we're steaming around the south china
00:39:13.640 sea keep one there and one there we got them boxed up i like this plan no money for the persians how
00:39:20.660 does that sound no cash cash for americans you like that uh americans i love it cash for america
00:39:27.020 cash for americans and a tank of fuel in your car a tank of fuel in your car for this summer
00:39:31.280 now jack i get it you're gonna leave here but this hearing's supposed to start exactly at the moment
00:39:38.120 that Human Events Daily comes on at 2 o'clock.
00:39:41.600 It's supposed to be at 2 o'clock.
00:39:43.200 Walk me through how you're going to prep for your show today.
00:39:45.340 Are you going to be calling out Cotton?
00:39:46.660 Are you going to be calling out these people?
00:39:48.240 If Jay Clayton shows up, I think Jay Clayton then is not going to be the nominee.
00:39:53.680 I think the president's already kind of put a warning shot there.
00:39:55.980 Hey, this thing is canceled.
00:39:57.680 My nominee is not going up.
00:39:59.520 Your thoughts?
00:40:01.740 Well, Steve, that's exactly right.
00:40:03.200 The president of the United States is the one who makes the appointments.
00:40:05.960 It is not the department heads.
00:40:07.140 It is not Mark Werner. It is not Elizabeth Warren. It is not Chuck Schumer. It is not Hakeem Jeffries. His name is Donald J. Trump. He is the one who won in 2016 and 2024. And gosh, I would love to see what Fulton County says about who won in 2020. I love to see the tail of the tape down there.
00:40:28.480 But of course, Steve, yes. So I have my post up to Senator Cotton, updating him on what the president has said, has already announced regarding that hearing.
00:40:37.360 We will certainly see what comes down. And I'm already working on communications with various members of, let's just say various members of Washington, D.C., various elected officials to see what exactly is going on this afternoon.
00:40:52.500 i tell you jack you dressed up you think you were going over to dni today for your first day on the

00:44:24.020 Listen up, patriots.
00:44:25.160 President Trump is dropping a $100 trillion bomb on the globalist.
00:44:29.900 Jerome Powell's term has come to a close, and he's installing a real America first Fed chair who will, according to Jim Rickards, slash rates and supercharge our reindustrialization.
00:44:44.140 This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary, unleashing a historic super cycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium and gold.
00:44:55.580 The same forces that turned $5,000 into over a million in less than five years during China's booms are hitting here now.
00:45:04.040 Jim Rickards, the former CIA, Pentagon, and White House advisor, has the battle plan.
00:45:09.900 The gold royalty stock that could skyrocket in the next few years and the uranium power for AI.

00:45:46.960 But we work together at a university.
00:45:49.080 We love all of those people, and they're great people.
00:45:51.440 How long do you expect Bill Pulte to be acting D&I?
00:45:56.880 Well, as long as it takes to get everybody else approved.
00:45:59.840 I mean, they were doing a rush act, and we didn't get anything for it.
00:46:03.860 Look, he's a very legitimate guy. He's very smart. He's a brilliant guy.
00:46:07.560 Look at the job he did at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.
00:46:10.680 I mean, it's worth probably a trillion dollars right now.
00:46:14.020 So we put him there, but all of a sudden it was like a rush act by the Democrats,
00:46:18.640 and they said they were going to approve FISA.
00:46:20.680 And I said, but we want Pfizer approved, but we want the Save America Act approved. 0.90
00:46:26.180 Voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in ballots, with exceptions, like for the military, sick, you're sick, you're traveling, disabled. 0.93
00:46:37.620 Very, you know, open and generous. 1.00
00:46:39.720 We also want no men playing in women's sports, so we want no transgender mutilization of our children. 0.99
00:46:46.540 none so those are five things that are 99 percent to i mean that's all we want and it's not a lot 0.99
00:46:55.080 the save america act and that can be passed anyway they want to pass it but i'm not going to sign
00:47:00.980 fisa unless it's done and this was like a rush act and it was a rush act by the democrats all
00:47:07.240 of a sudden they want to get and why are they afraid of this guy i mean they're so afraid of
00:47:11.900 him, they'll do anything not to have Pulte go in there. He's a very capable guy, and they're worried
00:47:17.200 about that. Jim, you're here, you're going to break down the geopolitics and geoeconomics of
00:47:23.700 the deal, but I got to ask you this, because you worked in the intelligence, you and Fattis are CIA
00:47:28.380 alum. Just do a reset. Where are we on this, and why has the whole, you talk about politics being
00:47:36.760 divided. The apparatus has unified over the topic of Bill Pulte, that he must not, that's the name
00:47:43.520 he must not say, and he will never set foot in DNI. Jim Rickards, your thoughts? Right. I was a
00:47:50.720 secret agent for 10 years. My security clearance was so high, I can't even tell you how high it
00:47:55.500 was. It's classified. Anyway, I can't think of a better choice than Bill Pulte. I mean, I was
00:48:00.580 inside, did a lot of missions, et cetera. Can't think of a better choice because, well, he's
00:48:06.260 obviously highly intelligent, but he's also got the technological skills. You need that.
00:48:10.380 Quick aside, I did a mission in a denied area. I won't say which country.
00:48:16.580 It wrote a report, got back. This junior analyst came up to me and she said,
00:48:21.080 Jim, I hear you know a lot about this country. She was working on the same case.
00:48:24.700 I said, yeah, have you read my report? And she said, no. I said, I'll tell you what,
00:48:29.140 I'll give you two weeks. Try to find it. Ask around. She had all the security clearances.
00:48:33.040 I said, if you can't find it, I'll give you a copy of myself.
00:48:36.660 But let's just see.
00:48:37.740 I came back two weeks later.
00:48:38.680 She couldn't find it as if it didn't exist.
00:48:41.320 That's how close and compartmentalized things are inside the agency.
00:48:44.740 Unless you have someone like Palti, you're never going to break that.
00:48:48.300 You're never going to get in the deep state.
00:48:49.500 You're never going to break that mold.
00:48:50.900 And by the way, your comparison of a Kennedy firing Alan Dulles to bring in John McCone
00:48:55.340 is exactly on point.
00:48:57.100 You got to get rid of these people.
00:48:59.720 Hang on.
00:49:00.600 Give us, you know, the history there.
00:49:02.100 This is very important.
00:49:02.880 And by the way, John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State, but that was back when the State
00:49:07.580 Department was almost an intelligence operation in and of itself, as it really stood up the
00:49:13.440 CIA.
00:49:14.180 It still is.
00:49:16.420 The State Department has their own intelligence agency inside the State Department.
00:49:22.600 So does the Treasury, by the way.
00:49:23.780 Some of them are pretty good.
00:49:24.580 Actually, one of the best ones I ever worked with was the Department of Energy.
00:49:27.800 But we have CIA, DNI, we get it.
00:49:30.080 But these major cabinet departments have their own intelligence agencies inside.
00:49:36.260 Talk to us about, we've had this before.
00:49:38.720 Kennedy with Alan Dulles, the Bay of Pigs, he was lied to, misled, a ton of things.
00:49:44.620 He moved on them too, did he not, sir?
00:49:47.700 Yeah, John Foster Dulles, Alan Dulles, their brothers, one's running the State Department,
00:49:52.380 one's running the CIA for the entire 1950s.
00:49:55.320 Alan Dulles goes back before that early 60s.
00:49:57.260 They lied to Kennedy about the Bay of Pigs.
00:50:00.720 Kennedy, to his credit, took responsibility.
00:50:03.600 He was lied to, but he stood up and said, you know, yeah, this was us, and I'm the president, and I take responsibility for it.
00:50:09.880 But he fired Alan Dulles in a heartbeat and brought in John McCone, who had a military background, and they cleaned the place up for a while.
00:50:18.100 I mean, it tends to go off track further down the road.
00:50:21.000 But even then, even with John McConaugh, who was a very good director, they were still trying to assassinate Castro with these, you know, exploding coral reefs and poison cigars and everything else.
00:50:31.100 So it's they're pretty, pretty incorrigible, but all the more reason to bring in Bill Paltty.
00:50:36.680 Well, I believe they had something to do with the assassination of President Diem in Vietnam.
00:50:42.320 And I'm not so sure they got a clean skirt on on Jack Kennedy, but that's a topic for a different day.
00:50:48.400 One, we're going to go to break.
00:50:49.880 Like, just start to break down the 12-part deal.
00:50:53.320 What was it?
00:50:53.700 Chung's saying, hey, there are 14 points here, 12 points here.
00:50:56.840 Just give us an overview for a couple of minutes.
00:50:58.980 I'm going to hold you through the break, and we're going to continue on.
00:51:00.940 What are your thoughts when you first see this?
00:51:03.000 Yeah, I mean, I got the deal right here.
00:51:05.140 It's out there. 0.62
00:51:06.660 It's everything Iran wanted and practically nothing that the United States wanted. 0.99
00:51:12.000 In that sense, it's at best a retreat and probably a surrender, and Iran won the world 0.94
00:51:18.400 war.
00:51:18.540 They get this $300 billion reconstruction fund. We open the strait, yeah, but they get to charge tolls. They get their oil back on the market at a higher price than before the war began.
00:51:28.220 I mentioned in our last interview that the new generation of Iranian leadership, religious, civil, and military, are younger, significantly younger than the older generation.
00:51:42.400 They were born after the revolution of 79.
00:51:44.280 They're more robust.
00:51:45.420 Iran is more united.
00:51:48.120 And in every respect, you said, you know, Jack said, Pustos said, if the Gulf states give to Iran, that's not our money.
00:51:57.420 Well, sorry, where do they get their money?
00:51:59.580 From oil.
00:52:00.180 Who pays that?
00:52:00.940 The American, everyday Americans pay it at the pump.
00:52:03.200 So it kind of is our money through the back door.
00:52:06.400 So yeah, Iran gets a $300 billion reconstruction fund, release of the $24 billion or so of
00:52:12.140 U.S. frozen assets, get to charge tolls in the Straits of Hormuz.
00:52:16.780 U.S. has to withdraw from the region.
00:52:18.920 They say they're not going to build a nuclear weapon, but they said that 10 years ago.
00:52:22.480 And they've got 60 percent, about 1,000 pounds of 60 percent of rich uranium, which is not far from being able to be detonated as a nuclear device.
00:52:31.120 So there's practically nothing in it for the United States except, you know, get the oil flowing and everything around one.
00:52:37.760 It's a wish list.
00:52:41.540 When I come back, I want to take time on the economic warfare part of this.
00:52:46.540 This was not easy to set up.
00:52:47.980 the sanctions, and as you know, to get countries to go along with sanctions and not be double
00:52:53.220 dealing you, to actually freeze the assets with the Swiss system to keep their $100 billion
00:52:57.940 of cash in various banks and things around the world, the fleet being there, the architecture
00:53:05.180 of economic warfare, the currency, which you're an expert on, and Scott Besson took their
00:53:08.900 currency down in January, the architectonics or the architecture of economic warfare, you
00:53:14.640 just can't be pulling these things we've got a system in place to keep them on their heels and
00:53:21.060 keep them broke okay as much trouble as they can cause and i agree with you these are tough hombres
00:53:26.460 and maybe you got to put more pressure on the people it's a horrible thing to say but you got
00:53:30.480 to put more pressure on the people so they overthrow it it's there it's it's only going to
00:53:36.800 make sense it's not a top-down decapitation it's got to come from the streets the way you get to 0.94
00:53:41.220 the streets is through their bellies. Short break. Do you owe back taxes or you haven't 0.75

00:53:55.300 conversation around abolishing the income tax, the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here

00:54:06.800 notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years. If you owe,
00:54:14.220 the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your
00:54:20.600 home. If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act, it's a question
