On today's show, we have a special guest, the great Jim Hoft, who joins us to talk about what is happening in MAGA states, including Arizona, Tennessee, and Arizona. We also have an update on the "Carrie Lake" case, and we talk about the trans terrorist attack on a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:03:56.660She's written an incredible piece that everybody should focus on about color revolutions happening in MAGA states.
00:04:05.660And I got to tell you, brother, I wanted to play that because that could have been the Montana, you know, I think, house yesterday.
00:04:14.660The exact same thing, this one on transgender rights.
00:04:18.660So Leahy, you sent me this interview that the governor, a Republican governor, just did on radio in Middle Tennessee, I think this afternoon.
00:05:02.660And I've been the number one guy bragging about the Tennessee house.
00:05:06.660I mean, you guys in the Senate, you guys are the guys that stood up to Lee about the redistricting.
00:05:10.660You know, I keep saying that of all the MAGA states, the Tennessee legislature is the best.
00:05:15.660It seems like it collapsed under the glare of the mainstream media in a color revolution on that chaos.
00:05:21.660And now I don't have a manifesto and I see leaks about the manifesto that the young woman wrote that said it's so explosive that the FBI won't put it out.
00:05:32.660And now I've got the governor that's trying to put red flag laws in and they're saying they're going to trade off red flags for the manifesto.
00:05:39.660So, man, Tennessee is everything to us.
00:05:43.660What in the hell is going on there, Leahy?
00:05:47.660Well, I would be of good cheer, Steve, although it's a tough battle here.
00:05:52.660The left for decades has tried to break Tennessee.
00:05:56.660And that's what you're seeing full blown here now over the past month or so.
00:06:00.660As you recall, on March 27th, 28 year old Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a woman who identified as a transgender male, walked into a Christian school here in Nashville and murdered six Christians.
00:06:17.660Three nine year old children and three staffers.
00:06:21.660And then subsequently to that, you saw the the the riot incited by three Democratic lawmakers in Tennessee capital, their expulsion.
00:06:32.660They shouldn't have should not have been put back in because the Tennessee Constitution says you cannot replace yourself if you've been expelled.
00:07:21.660It's it's coming from the Biden White House.
00:07:24.660It's coming from all the the well funded left wing out of state operatives.
00:07:29.660And the Tennessee General Assembly actually had a pretty significant set of accomplishments here this year.
00:07:36.660They actually led the country in passing the law that prohibited genital mutilation of children under the age of 18.
00:07:45.660They adjourned on Friday and our governor, Bill Lee, kind of gave him the middle finger because two hours later he called for this special session to basically adopt his red flag laws, which are violations of the Second Amendment.
00:08:48.660And we today, on Monday, we asked Metro Nashville Police Department to release them in the public interest.
00:08:56.660They denied our request on the grounds that it's still, wait for this, Steve, an open investigation, which is hard to follow since the shooter died four weeks ago.
00:09:08.660The FBI also, we've filed a FOIA request with them.
00:09:12.660They've denied our request on the ground that the documents have been put in an exempt folder.
00:09:19.660Now, that's just the beginning of this, Steve, and we intend to take appropriate actions in the next couple of days.
00:09:30.660I will note that several members of the Tennessee General Assembly have said,
00:09:36.660Jeremy Faison in the House and Todd Gardenhire in the Senate have said,
00:09:41.660look, there's no way we can conduct a special session to understand what the consequences or what things we should do to stop another Covenant Presbyterian school attack if we don't have a copy of the manifesto.
00:09:55.660I've called on the governor to ask Metro Nashville Police Department to release it.
00:10:00.660He actually seems to be more interested in being a pawn of the left.
00:10:03.660The special session, I can guarantee you, will be a lightning rod for Black Lives Matter, transgender activists, out-of-state groups.
00:10:13.660But this is the power I want. If Memphis can help us and Grace and Captain Bannon, I need everybody to read this piece.
00:10:21.660And I understand Leahy, who both is a Harvard and Stanford graduate, one of the smartest guys I've ever met, disagrees with part of this.
00:10:28.660But I need everybody to read this because her construct is very powerful.
00:10:33.660She says, like they had a color revolution in Ukraine to overthrow the Russian-backed and Russian-supporting democratically elected government, right, that there are color revolutions going on in this country.
00:11:08.660And, brother, they're winning right now.
00:11:10.660The great Tennessee legislature, which we've gone out of the way to say that is the one to focus on with Ohio and Georgia and Florida and Texas and Arizona, also in the United States, the guys that are getting it done more than anybody's Tennessee, they got rolled.
00:11:24.660They just got rolled and they kind of collapsed and said, let's get out of town because we're playing a different game.
00:11:29.660They're playing constitutional republic, rule of law.
00:11:34.660Let's pass laws and let's get those laws implemented.
00:11:37.660You're playing against revolutionaries.
00:11:39.660You're playing against Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Soros.
00:12:12.660This is an organized effort to go after the most MAGA states and intimidate heretofore stand up and good men and women who are legislators who are not prepared to take this.
00:12:26.660This is what they did in the French Revolution.
00:12:28.660This is what they do in all revolutions.
00:12:35.660And baby, we're in it now because they're going to try to go and try to have they're going to try to have color revolutions in these red states.
00:12:43.660And they're feeling if they can break the legislature in Tennessee, they can break any legislature in this country.
00:12:56.660And I do think that the Speaker of the House here, who's a friend of mine, Cam Sexton, got totally rolled on on this.
00:13:04.660I think he may realize that error right now.
00:13:06.660But there are others in the Tennessee leadership now who totally understand what's going on in terms of the Tennessee General Assembly.
00:13:13.660And they are digging in to fight back and they're not going to get pushed around by anybody from out of state, any Black Lives Matter activists.
00:14:03.660And so you're getting a distorted view of how the people of Tennessee feel because you've got a bunch of young, well-funded activists doing all this.
00:14:47.660He said, look, there's not a state out there, and I say this as a Virginian, that I think more highly of than Tennessee and the folks in Tennessee.
00:14:55.660I'm just saying they've picked you for a reason.
00:15:00.660They are so MAGA, but they know they've got a Hollywood element in Nashville, and this is all a media thing.
00:15:06.660The whole thing was played out in media.
00:15:08.660It was MSNBC, New York Times, and next thing you know, they're in the White House being lionized as modern-day freedom writers.
00:15:16.660But you know, Steve, two years ago, President Biden tried to demonize parents here in Williamson County who didn't want critical race theory taught.
00:15:27.660And the people in New York City who are, you know, all the mainstream media, they can write everything they want about us here in Tennessee.
00:15:39.660But they don't vote here in Tennessee, and we vote here in Tennessee, and I think that this has been a wake-up call for conservative stalwarts here in Tennessee.
00:15:49.660And I'm going to tell you, I think that the fight to fight back against this revolution has already begun.
00:15:55.660And frankly, I think if you stay tuned to what we do at the Tennessee Star in the next couple of days, you'll see the beginning of that fight back.
00:16:05.660Okay, fine. We always – we go to all the Star News Network at the beginning of our day like we do Gateway Pundit and Citizens Free Press.
00:16:15.660Make me feel better about this manifesto because I think the FBI – look, if the manifesto looked bad for the Christians, looked bad for everybody, that manifesto would have been out that afternoon.
00:16:28.660The fact that it's in a – well, they say it's in a sealed file. Sorry, Leahy. It's in another file. We can't give it to you.
00:16:34.660It doesn't make me feel good. We're going to see the manifesto anytime soon.
00:16:37.660Well, feelings are one thing, Steve, but powerful legal capabilities are entirely another. I'll leave it at that.
00:16:48.660Michael Patrick Leahy, how do people get to the Star News Network and particularly the Tennessee Star, brother?
00:17:27.660Okay, I've got my other favorite newsman. I've got one half of the brothers, Hoff, Jim Hoff.
00:17:32.660What I want to do is play a cold open. The Hoffs have been all over this Ray Epps situation from a different angle of attack of Tucker Carlson and Darren Beattie.
00:17:43.660Let's go ahead and play the cold open for the Gateway Pundit and the Hoffs.
00:17:47.660What do you think when you see this now?
00:17:52.660It brings back some bad memories. It's hard to see our Capitol under attack.
00:17:57.660It's been more than two years since the storming of the Capitol, but Ray and his wife Robin told us they relive January 6th every day of their lives.
00:18:07.660Some people have said, well, just let it go and let it die down.
00:18:12.660What they don't understand is it doesn't.
00:18:14.660What exactly was the role of Ray Epps in the chaos of January 6th?
00:18:18.660The theory, Epps, a former member of the Oath Keepers, was an FBI informant who incited the crowd on January 6th, bubbled up from a right-wing news site called Revolver News, run by a former Trump speechwriter.
00:18:33.660He's the smoking gun of the entire Fed's erection.
00:19:30.660To shift blame on somebody else. If you look at it, Fox News, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Gates, they're all telling us before this thing that it was stolen.
00:19:44.660So you tell me, who has more impact on people, them or me?
00:19:51.660Epps, once a loyal Fox News watcher, told us he doesn't understand how he got cast as the villain.
00:23:46.900And, Hoff, you guys have come up with even more damning footage than even there.
00:23:51.840So tell me, give me the first off, set it up, and then I want to play this footage along with you maybe after the break.
00:23:58.140But give me your sense of 60 Minutes, Tucker Carlson, this Ray Epps, and January 6th brother.
00:24:03.120Well, Steve, we did report on what you said earlier today about Tucker Carlson's contract, and that this may silence him through the 2024 election, which, of course, is an attack on Trump, to kneecap Trump right before the election.
00:24:18.300This footage with Ray Epps, I think this is really the death knell for 60 Minutes.
00:24:24.540It was the worst piece of journalism I think I've ever seen in my life.
00:24:28.100It's infuriating that they – you saw what a fluff piece it was, as we expected.
00:24:33.740But they – like you said, they didn't ask any hard questions.
00:24:38.580They didn't ask him what he was – you know, what he meant when he said go into the Capitol.
00:24:43.180They didn't mention, as you just said, Steve, he was leading the charge through the first set of barriers.
00:24:49.740At Gateway Pundit, we put a video of him leading the charge through the second set of barriers.
00:24:54.740We came on your show and explained that one time.
00:24:57.360The court had been playing with that video, but that was Ray Epps in the second set of barriers also.
00:25:04.420What we have at Gateway Pundit, though, that 60 Minutes had – they had no idea this is probably out there.

00:28:37.500In my younger days, I was a naval officer on a destroyer.
00:28:41.840In fact, I was the A-gang officer in charge of all the engineering systems that were not main propulsion.
00:28:48.300And one of those was air purification.
00:28:50.800And I can tell you, the standards of the United States Navy are second to none.
00:28:54.300If all home air purifiers are the same, why did the U.S. Department of Defense select EnviroCleanse to protect and purify the air on board our Navy ships?
00:29:04.560Because of EnviroCleanse, advanced mineral technology goes beyond ordinary HEPA filters to destroy airborne illness causing cold and flu viruses, including COVID.
00:29:16.400EnviroCleanse is the new science in air purification.
00:29:19.520And now you can order one for your home.
00:29:22.720This is how you help stop colds and flus from taking your whole family down.
00:29:26.980This is how you destroy allergy-inflaming toxins and mold from the air your family breathes.
00:29:31.640In fact, this hospital-grade technology is so powerful that it promises far fewer colds and allergies and better sleep.
00:30:09.880The CDC says that I should eat six cups of fruit and veggies a day.
00:30:16.200Now, there's zero chance I'm eating six cups of fruit and veggies a day.
00:30:20.820But according to a massive study, people who do eat healthy live longer, have less heart disease and diabetes, and have less cancer.
00:30:29.860Now, I take Field of Greens, and I'll tell you why.
00:30:32.320Unlike other fruit and vegetable supplements, each specific fruit and vegetable and Field of Greens was medically selected to support specific functions like heart health, liver and kidney health, immune system, and metabolism.
00:30:47.720I take Field of Greens to help me stay healthy.
00:30:52.840And if you're like me, you feel healthier, have more energy, your skin and hair look healthier, and it can help you lose weight.
00:31:01.380But the biggest benefits is that Better Health Promise.
00:31:05.220Take Field of Greens, and at your next doctor visit, if your doctor doesn't say something like, whatever you're doing, it's working, keep it up.
00:31:17.160Take Field of Greens at your next doctor visit.
00:31:19.740If your doctor doesn't say something like, hey, whatever you're doing, it's working, keep it up, then return Field of Greens for a full refund.

00:32:06.800Hoff, and if Memphis can, I'm going to bring Jim in, but let's do the split screen like you did, and let's start this footage from the top.
00:32:26.900The prosecutors, the DOJ, arrested several individuals that day who were at the protests, a lot of young men, who were touching this enormous sign as it was being passed over their heads, and it was pushed towards the police.
00:32:42.200Here's one view of it we're watching right now, and this is eye level, and you can see these guys touching this enormous sign.
00:32:54.620It's getting pushed towards the police at the Capitol.
00:32:57.360And if you, what we found was that Ray Epps is the guy over in the corner, and we circled in in the video, he's holding the sign and pushing it at the cops.
00:33:12.220So, so here is Ray Epps once again, he not only was leading the charge when they broke through the two different barriers, but now he's helping hurl this gigantic sign at the cops.
00:33:27.240We should note that no police officer was injured in this incident.
00:33:35.180It just, you know, got tossed on the ground.
00:33:38.600But the DOJ called it an enormous battering ramp as they charged these these young men with this criminal act.
00:33:48.900And, and several of these young men are in prison today for up to four years for touching this sign.
00:33:57.060That's all they did was touch it as it passed over their heads.
00:38:26.120You were sitting there telling people the night before when young people called you out and you did it the next day when people were breaking from thinking just going to march up there peacefully.
