00:00:37.060The understanding that Jay Clayton could actually pick up a number of Democratic votes.
00:00:41.160You have to remember, he'll be taking the reins from Bill Pulte, who Democrats said had zero experience, was completely unfit for the job.
00:00:48.500Jay Clayton previously led SDNY, previously led the SEC.
00:00:52.400They saw him as a formidable candidate.
00:00:54.660But that all changed today as he was questioned about the results of the 2020 election and whether or not he could say Joe Biden was the certified winner versus the actual winner.
00:01:05.380Can you tell me why Joe Biden was certified as the winner of the 2020 election?
00:01:15.240I really I'm going back to my constitutional law here, but I don't want to continue to have debate about this.
00:01:23.740But I believe he had the most electoral votes.
00:01:26.740And this isn't just a litmus test for any old cabinet nominee.
00:01:29.560It's for somebody who is going to be able to oversee some elections, including the November midterm elections.
00:01:35.240When Bill Pulte was first appointed acting director of national intelligence, David Rohde and I, we dug into this.
00:01:40.940A lot of Democrats said they were concerned that whoever is overseeing the intelligence community could cast doubt on the results of the midterm elections if Republicans lose.
00:01:49.120They pointed to the fact that Tulsi Gabbard, the predecessor in this role,
00:01:53.240She had backed President Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
00:01:57.180She was part of that FBI raid at Fulton County, Georgia, that took some voting records.
00:02:02.200So this has been an acute concern for Democrats when talking about this important role of director of national intelligence.
00:02:08.260And to the point you made before, Katie, Democrats saw Jay Clayton as somebody who they could actually support.
00:02:13.720But I was talking to one Democratic senator after the hearing who said they thought he lost some of that Democratic support today with this line of questioning about the 2020 election.
00:02:22.500I mean, I think it was fascinating on a couple of levels. One, he did try to distance himself a little bit at times from Trump. He was asked about impeaching judges, something that Trump has talked about. And he disavowed that. He was asked about whether the president could run for reelection in 2028, something that he's kind of teased out there, maybe as a troll to his adversary, something he thought he might do despite the Constitution. And Blanche made clear, no, he didn't think that was legal.
00:02:47.160But broadly speaking, he was on board. And obviously he was trying to appeal to at this point to an audience of two, Tom Tillis and John Cornyn.
00:02:54.740It seems like maybe he did succeed with Tom Tillis, who told him at the end of the hearing that he did a, quote, great job.
00:03:00.640But John Cornyn obviously will be the one who all eyes are on now from now on at this point.
00:03:04.940If John Cornyn says no, this is a nomination that it's hard to see how it advances out of the committee because they lost the vote of Lindsey Graham when he passed away last weekend.
00:03:13.340So John Cornyn is a fascinating figure to watch. He's not a rebel. He's not a maverick. He's not a John McCain who goes onto the floor and gives a thumbs down in a very dramatic way. It's not his way. But he did lose that primary after Trump endorsed his opponent, Ken Paxton.
00:03:29.580He has nothing to lose, arguably, at this point.
00:03:31.680And he does seem genuinely offended by this agreement that gives Trump, you know, audit-free, you know, access to all the money he would have had to pay in back taxes.
00:03:44.420By the way, my colleagues reported that could be $100 million or more given interest.
00:03:49.640That's a personal benefit to the president of the United States.
00:03:52.580So that's what John Corrin is thinking about.
00:03:54.000All eyes are going to be on him going forward.
00:06:20.720He won't say it. And he knew this question was coming. I've talked to folks who discussed this with him, that he would be asked this. And this is like North Korea style groupthink. We've never seen this in American politics.
00:06:34.780They just without the group, because Bill Barr called it bulls***. Krebs said it was, quote, the most secure American election in history. Quote, we did it right.
00:06:43.300I mean, all of Trump's last, all the last Jake Clayton said that there was no interference.
00:06:48.940But things have changed now. If you work for Donald Trump today in this administration, you have one answer, and that's Joe Biden was certified as president. You're not allowed to say he won. He couldn't use the W word.
00:06:59.200You can't even say why he was certified.
00:07:01.120Exactly. Exactly. And, you know, John Ossoff asked, wasn't it humiliating? And of course it was humiliating. You could see it in Jay Clayton's face. Jay Clayton was thought to be one of the normies, right?
00:07:11.140Like he ran the SEC in the first Trump administration and he emerged with a decent reputation and people were relieved.
00:07:17.400They people want him instead of Bill Pulte as the DNI or they thought they did.
00:07:21.720I'll tell you, Mark Warner, who had a good relationship with Jay Clayton for this, the ranking Democrat on that committee, went into that hearing, inclined to vote for Jay Clayton.
00:07:30.080And my understanding is he's not going to vote for him now.
00:07:32.480Anything he said during the hearing, he was incredibly disappointed with that performance.
00:07:36.620You feel like you're taking crazy pills.
00:07:38.240You have two separate hearings that you're watching with two separate priorities.
00:07:43.520The Republicans were all about Mifepristone.
00:07:45.640The Democrats were all about corruption and him acting as a personal attorney.
00:07:50.140And I think if you're watching and you're not so schooled in the particulars of what has been going on,
00:07:55.700it is hard to figure out what's happening in Washington.
00:08:01.740We were maybe an hour in, and I thought if you're just an average viewer, and no MSNOW viewers are average viewers, but if you're an average viewer, you could turn in and think this was a run-of-the-mill confirmation hearing.
00:08:13.760There needed to be sort of an overarching statement at the outside, I think, from the Democrats.
00:08:20.500And I don't want to be overly political here, but to your point, it was just, it was like, you know, as in the fall.
00:08:26.540Wallace says Earth One and Earth Two, completely two different hearings, two alternate facts and everything else.
00:08:32.400And, you know, I think we really need the Democrats.
00:08:35.500And I would say Republicans, too, should be very concerned about the lack of independence of the Department of Justice and the lack of even any concern that there is a lack.
00:11:49.540They're saying that Freudian slip where he says is, that shows you that, oh, my gosh, that Todd Blanche is going to be so biased that he can't get it.
00:12:11.580John Cornyn is a Texan in the spirit of the Alamo.
00:12:16.040John Cornyn, basically, who built a wall at your request.
00:12:21.400John Cornyn, who is the most anti-Sharia guy in history.
00:12:24.960John Cornyn, who is tough like a Texas longhorn, that John Cornyn, a man of honor, that John Cornyn, a man of principle, that John Cornyn, he is your best friend.
00:12:38.960President Trump, he will always have your back, always, always and everywhere.
00:15:15.960Higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses, and higher interest payments on the national debt.
00:15:22.500Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.
00:15:30.040Smart retirement planners prepare for potential setbacks, and they can do that by diversifying with a time-tested asset known for weathering the storm.
00:15:41.960Now, physical gold you can get from my trusted friends at Birch Gold Group.
00:15:45.860Text the word Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898, and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on converting an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
00:16:01.500You don't pull the ripcord on your parachute once you've already hit the ground.
00:16:06.020Don't wait for economic turbulence to diversify.
00:30:03.740Don't let the IRS be the first to act.
00:30:07.380take advantage of first mover advantage, you move.
00:30:12.280Reckliffe is currently the CIA director.
00:30:15.820And to your point here, he was the DNI in 2020 and made it clear that, for example,
00:30:21.740when it came to China, it did made no assertion that there was direct Chinese interference that
00:30:27.460would have changed the vote outcome of the 2020 election. And I think that this is important when
00:30:32.400we take into account Tulsi Gabbard is no longer the director of national intelligence. And I just
00:30:37.740want to read a quote to you from a current administration official who is emphasizing
00:30:41.980that we need to consistently talk about Bill Pulte and John Solomon, the former journalist
00:30:46.400and special government employee. Both of those men brought in one month ago into these roles.
00:30:51.160And the way that it's framed to me is that essentially John Solomon is the one that is
00:30:55.360pushing a lot of the conspiracy theories, then claims that there is raw material that the
00:31:01.480intelligence community has access to, that they're not released, and that he is the one putting this
00:31:05.920into the ear of Donald Trump, that there is actually evidence that would support his claim
00:31:11.000that the election in 2020 was stolen. But then it's Bill Pulte, the current director of national
00:31:15.240intelligence, the acting one, who is essentially the one that has promised the president, we are
00:31:19.220told by multiple sources, is the one that is essentially doing whatever it takes to carry it
00:31:23.640out. The quote, I just want to read to you, we're publishing on MS.NOW right now, but we wanted to
00:31:28.020get this on air, quote, this is an administration official who has been familiar with the raw
00:31:32.300intelligence available across the intelligence community. And that is, quote, it's that network
00:31:37.040of people referring to Solomon and Pulte that is the real effing problem. They try to put bits and
00:31:42.520pieces together and then make these conclusions. Everything I have seen, it's not what's there.
00:31:47.620And the reason that I'm emphasizing this is the fact that for the first time, I would say in the
00:31:51.680second Trump administration, to your point, Nicole, there are factions within this White House
00:31:55.940And there is one faction that is clearly winning out. And it is that Bill Pulte, John Solomon faction, those that have lifted up and supported claims made by people like Michael Flynn.
00:32:06.100And in the last months, they have had greater access to the president of the United States than ever before.
00:32:11.520And it is people like Susie Wiles and other in this administration that have effectively last year, I am told, saw all of this, essentially the assessments from people like John Ratcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard and knew what was available through the intelligence community and clearly made the determination that there was not enough to go public at that point in time.
00:33:01.280What is going on here, brother? I'm saying right now it's 50-50 whether you even have this presentation tomorrow night, sir, the way the White House staff is fighting it. Your thoughts, sir?
00:33:12.980Well, I would use the term Democrats use. I think Democrats are living on stolen land in Washington, D.C. I think it's pretty obvious they stole 2020. It's pretty obvious they stole both races in Georgia. And I got to tell you, it's pretty obvious they stole both races in Arizona.
00:33:27.800I think it's pretty obvious they've stolen Senate and House seats.
00:33:31.300I think, you know, it's pretty obvious that the real example of foreign interference in American elections is not even China or Serbia or Venezuela or Italy.
00:33:42.660Those are all the places I've heard that foreign interference went on.
00:33:46.100I think the real example that's easily provable is illegal aliens voting in American elections.
00:33:51.660Democrats, that was their game plan.0.70
00:33:57.100And my college classmates, supposedly at Columbia University, where we learned Cloward Piven, Steve, which is you flood the nation with people on welfare till the economy collapses and the country collapses.
00:34:08.140And then you get everyone begging for government to save them. And then you turn America into a socialist nation.
00:34:14.000And when they couldn't get enough Americans to go on welfare to completely collapse the system, they said, let's open the borders and let's bring in 50 million foreigners to want cradle to grave welfare and to give them everything they want in return for voting Democrat.0.74
00:34:29.280and will change the demographics of America, the great replacement,0.78
00:34:33.640and will turn America into a socialist nation
00:34:35.720filled with foreign invaders who vote in American elections.
00:34:39.400That's the real low-hanging fruit of this national security emergency
00:34:44.320for elections that President Trump should be
00:34:47.060and I think will be calling in the next month.
00:34:49.660I don't think he's going to call it on Thursday night.
00:34:51.900I think he's going to lay out a case of stolen elections
00:34:55.980why he's going to call a national security emergency for elections.
00:35:00.940And I think he'll declare it in the next month by the mid to late August
00:35:04.840or the first week of September, something like that.0.72
00:35:07.320But it's illegal aliens voting on American soil
00:35:10.700and putting Democrats into stolen positions in the U.S. Senate
00:35:14.720and the U.S. House, even more important than the 2020 election.
00:35:19.000Democrats are living on stolen land, quote Wayne Root.
00:35:21.660Wayne, the evidence will be so compelling that people like Tom Tillis and John Cornyn will demand of Thune that we immediately take up the Save America Act and do the standing filibuster and pass it.
00:35:39.300So your executive order is going to be OBE, right?
00:35:44.300Seriously, you saw Cornyn was interviewed by Steve Gruber.
00:35:47.420Cornyn's going to go to Thune and say, we must immediately call the Senate back.
00:36:07.780You've got the horrible Mitch McConnells.
00:36:13.180You've got all these people that are in the perfect place to always stop us.
00:36:17.620You know, I thought the most significant thing I've heard in a long time was when Tom Tillis said,
00:36:23.120maybe this was two months ago, whoever the new AG is, he's going to have to sit in front of me
00:36:28.120and admit that January 6th was like an insurrection and an overthrow of the government
00:36:33.140and the January 6ers deserve to be in jail.
00:36:35.820That's coming from a Republican senator. There are, in my opinion, traitors, backstabbers all amongst us on the Republican side who are put in place by the deep state, by the D.C. swamp to make sure we never get the right people in office around President Trump so we can never, ever carry out what you and I know needs to be done, which is clean all the communists out of government, clean the deep state out of government, clean them out of the military,
00:37:03.560clean them out of every aspect of American government. And we can never quite do it
00:37:08.520because there's always a Tom Tillis, a Republican turncoat backstabber owned by the deep state
00:37:14.920standing in the way. And it's really, after a while, it gets sickening, you know? And I got
00:37:19.600to tell you something, Steve. I don't know where you stand on this one. I'm going on a limb. I
00:37:22.860don't even know where you stand. You may disagree with me. But when Lindsey Graham died, I got to
00:37:27.400tell you, does Lindsey Graham's sister deserve to be a United States senator? I got a problem with0.88
00:37:33.160that i know she's getting she got sworn in today or getting sworn in today i got a problem with0.92
00:37:37.480that what's her qualification for being a u.s senator is she on our team i have no idea what0.99
00:37:42.580she stands for she's never been in office she's never run for office i have no idea if she's0.98
00:37:48.100really a maga conservative and she's going to do a good job at least the next few months1.00
00:37:52.680and carry on for the maga agenda do you know that i don't know why she deserves to be a u.s senator1.00
00:38:12.380So therefore, you believe the predicate will be laid out tomorrow and in future rollouts
00:38:18.220that by mid-August to late August, maybe early September, enough information will be there
00:38:24.980that President Trump, as commander in chief, will declare a national security emergency
00:38:30.160around the security of voting. Is that your theory? That's correct. I want to make it very
00:38:35.860clear to everybody because sometimes people don't understand what I'm saying. This is not an EO.
00:38:40.460This is not an executive order. This is a very different thing than an executive order. A
00:38:44.800national security emergency is not the same as an executive order. An executive order can be taken
00:38:50.300to court. It could be challenged in court. You have to go through the courts, each appeals process,
00:38:54.980That takes a long time. And then it has to go before the Supreme Court eventually. And by the way, after the rulings on birthright citizenship and counting ballots long after Election Day is over, I don't know if you could even count on the Supreme Court ever again to be on our side on something like the Save America Act.
00:39:12.120So that's why I tried to come up with something, Steve, that's better than the Save America Act. It's a Save America Act on steroids. It's a national security emergency declaration for elections like the one I proposed that Trump adopted in 2019, national security election for the border, where he was able to bypass Congress, use the money for the Pentagon budget to build the wall, secure our border.
00:39:34.960Democrats never sued because they realized that in 1983, the Supreme Court ruled very clearly that you cannot take a national security emergency to court and win in the courts.
00:39:46.580You've got to get a two thirds vote in both houses of Congress to overcome a national security emergency.
00:39:52.660So I'm trying to give an option here that I believe is a much better option than a Save America Act.
00:39:59.040I love the Save America Act, but it doesn't deal with machines or paper ballots, by the way.
00:40:03.680And most importantly, it's never going to pass. It will not pass. And if it does pass, it will never be in effect because of legal challenges in time for the midterms.
00:40:13.020My idea, national security emergency, could actually be in effect for the midterms and Democrats cannot stop it.
00:40:20.240So I'm trying to get us some ammunition here to win the midterms. And I think this does it.
00:40:25.560And your belief is after tomorrow night, and there are going to be other revelations coming
00:40:30.500forward in the next couple of weeks, that by the time we get to mid-August, a predicate will be
00:40:35.580laid that the president, then his commander in chief, to declare a national security emergency
00:40:40.380and have all these details in there about what the predicate is, why he's doing it,
00:40:44.740and what the immediate solutions he's going to implement to make sure that the 2026 elections
00:40:49.380are free and fair. Correct? Correct. And you know, one question I've never really heard a lot of
00:40:54.600people ask. I'm going to ask it right now on Steve's show. I hope the whole world hears me
00:40:58.320ask it. Who gave the order in 2020 for five states to shut down the counting of the votes?
00:41:05.840How come nobody ever asked that in front of Tom Tillis and John Cornyn and all these turncoats?
00:41:11.920Isn't the president of the United States? Trump was the president. He didn't give the order. He
00:41:15.680didn't say shut down the vote. Who decided for the first time in America's history to stop counting
00:41:21.760votes at midnight with Trump winning by hundreds of thousands of votes in those five states. And
00:41:27.280then we woke up in the morning in the middle of the night, they decided to restart the count
00:41:31.260and suddenly Trump was behind and they did it with no witnesses in the room. And you think I'm so
00:41:36.660stupid. I may have been bored yesterday, Steve, but I wasn't bored in the last five minutes that1.00
00:41:41.400I would believe that that is a fair election that wasn't stolen. For the first time in history,
00:41:47.100They stopped counting with our guy way ahead and was about to win a legislative, excuse me, an electoral landslide.
00:41:54.560And then in the middle of the night, they started counting again.
00:46:33.040You get the ultimate guide for investing, gold, and precious metals,
00:46:36.440plus tons of other information, all of it free, no obligation,
00:46:40.820and you get to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:46:42.320And Philip is with me for the first hour on Saturday, so do not miss that.
00:46:47.580We're going to go through deficit debt, the history of countries that get to 100% of debt,
00:46:52.680all of it, and you're going to want to listen and learn or watch and learn.
00:46:56.880um patrick k o'donnell um you're heading to marblehead why are you heading to marblehead
00:47:03.020the uh the great heroes of your book about the marblehead men why are you going to marblehead
00:47:09.820tomorrow marblehead tomorrow um for a big talk on sunday there's also an encampment where the
00:47:17.800regiment um which is the marblehead regiment as a sort of reenacts what their their duties were
00:47:25.160during the American Revolution, but on Sunday at Abbott Hall, which is a giant building in
00:47:30.880Marblehead, which is one of the most picturesque towns in the East Coast. It's an incredible
00:47:36.920port town. They are remembering the 250th, and I'm there to remember it with them. I've been
00:47:45.500invited back by the town, and it's a special place for me. They really embrace the book.
00:47:53.640They embraced their history, and there are families there that have been in Marblehead for over 350 years, and many of those families are still there, and they're there to remember their heritage of these men, the indispensable mariners that saved the country multiple times, Steve.
00:48:10.840first at the um at the east river during the battle of brooklyn where the providential fog
00:48:16.800sits in and it's the it's on the shoulders of the marblehead mariners where the army is saved
00:48:22.2809 000 men including its equipment and the wounded and then it's later at pell's point that the uh
00:48:29.500there's a rear guard by john glover that saves the army and they're able to retreat to wet plains
00:48:34.700and then also at the um the crossing of the delaware it's the marblehead mariners but here's
00:48:40.820men that here's the thing that bring here's the thing you've you've got the marble these guys are
00:48:45.500the story is unbelievable these folks are tough as boot leather when i talk to you about resilience
00:48:50.960uh and anti-fragile the marblehead men are anti-fragile okay they're not beta males they
00:48:58.260do american dunkirk which is like when you read it you go this is unbelievable the courage and
00:49:03.980the tenacity but then they're they they are the guy they're the they're the guys in the boat
00:50:06.760We're going to try to get you live over the next couple of days, although it's going to be crazy with the president's speech, but we're trying to get you live.
00:50:11.960What's the situation with Glover's house?
00:50:15.140There's his first original house, which is in Glover Square in the town of Marblehead itself, which is preserved and saved.
00:50:22.480It's something that's actually living there.
00:50:24.860And there's a second house that he purchased in 1782 during the American Revolution.
00:50:31.400And that home is potentially scheduled for demolition.
