Special Counsel Robert Mueller has more details about the Mar-a-lago raid on President Trump's exclusive estate in April, including audio of a meeting where the former president held on to a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran.
00:01:08.680First of all, do you agree with the White House's stance there that Ukraine should stay away from striking inside of Russia?
00:01:14.940I know the Ukrainians are disavowing some of these strikes, but I say more power to them.
00:01:19.740This is how you take the fight to Russia itself.
00:01:22.260And at Nellis Air Force Base, you had the drag you, Nellis, on June 17th.
00:01:27.500Who funded these things, Mr. Secretary?
00:01:29.960Listen, drag shows are not something that the Department of Defense supports or funds.
00:01:36.880Pentagon leaders have stepped in to stop a drag show scheduled for tomorrow on Nellis Air Force Base,
00:01:41.600the show in celebration of Pride Month, and was approved by Air Force leaders.
00:01:46.120By documents investigation, sources telling CNN, federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting where the former president acknowledges he held on to a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack against Iran.
00:02:01.380Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events.
00:02:08.440No monologue today, folks, because we've got to get into this.
00:02:12.200More leaks out of the special counsel's office.
00:02:47.560But of course, they're going after him for making sure that he held on to the receipt of it.
00:02:53.660Well, joining us to explain all of it, we've got Mike Davis from the Article 3 Project.
00:02:58.980Mike, when you look at this, do these tapes actually change the situation as relates to the Mar-a-Lago raid, all of the stuff that we've seen so far?
00:04:09.520When President Clinton left office, he had 79 tapes, eight years of audio recordings of his presidency, including conversations with foreign leaders, highly classified material.
00:04:24.840And the Obama-appointed judge in D.C. correctly held that when a president leaves office and takes records with them, they are declassified and personal under the Presidential Records Act.
00:04:37.800And so when President Trump took his records, when he left the White House, he's allowed to do that under the Presidential Records Act.
00:04:46.280And it does not matter whether they're classified or not.
00:04:53.820Apparently, Trump discusses the classified nature of the documents.
00:04:58.340And you saw this was the lead, and we were clicking through.
00:05:02.060So we'll go back, and I'm not going to sit and watch CNN, but we will go through the night before, or excuse me, the morning after and look at the night before.
00:05:09.560And we'll take a peek at, okay, what were they talking about?
00:05:13.160This was the lead of every single show on CNN last night.
00:05:17.120It was covered extensively on MSNBC as well.
00:05:19.600They're acting like this is the latest gotcha.
00:05:22.280And I understand that this is a, it is a business.
00:05:40.560And they're like, no, this is what it is because we can't get them in real life.
00:05:44.060We're going to get them in TV, but maybe we will get them in real life.
00:05:46.860Do you really think this actually represents the game changer that CNN is trying to make it out to be?
00:05:53.160I think the game changer, Jack, is when the FBI got caught with a document that evidenced that then Vice President Joe Biden took a $5 million foreign bribe from China and changed American policy.
00:06:07.600And the FBI covered up for Joe Biden for many, many years.
00:06:11.080And my former boss, Chuck Grassley, along with House Oversight Chairman James Comer, have the rats at the FBI cornered.
00:06:19.380And so now that they're cornered and facing contempt and the FBI is finally admitting that, yes, this document deals with an allegation of a $5 million foreign bribe of then Vice President Joe Biden.
00:06:31.320And magically, Garland's handpicked special counsel, Jack Smith, starts selectively leaking out from the Mar-a-Lago probe.
00:06:40.320So I think that's a big part of the connection.
00:07:08.680Well, I think when this document comes out, you're going to see a very credible source.
00:07:14.380This whistleblower is making a very specific, incredible allegation that then Vice President Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe, foreign bribe from China, and he changed American policy.
00:07:28.220And that lines up pretty well with the evidence that we've uncovered so far.
00:07:32.960And there is a reason that the Biden Treasury Department is hiding these suspicious activity reports, these SARS reports with the Bidens.
00:07:42.700The walls are closing in on the Bidens.
00:07:47.020If we lived in a fair world, he would be impeached and removed from office or minimally chased out of office because we have a clearly compromised president of the United States who has shown in the past that he's willing to take high office and sell it out to our worst enemies for his personal gain.
00:08:12.700Look, folks, when we're looking at this stuff, we have to understand, do we have a president of the United States that's actually compromised?
00:08:39.660I've always said when it comes to one of these accusations, whether it's Trump, whether it's any other Republican, somebody on the right, show me the evidence.
00:08:50.860If a clandestine or confidential human source, CHS, got this information, $5 million on Biden, some kind of bribe, some kind of policy change when he was vice president, lay it all out for me.
00:09:21.380We have the one, the only, my good friend, Scott Pressler joining us here today, Human Events, who's got and just made a massive announcement.
00:09:29.760He's going to now tell the Human Events audience that same announcement.
00:09:45.440We have announced today that I am partnering with Turning Point Action.
00:09:50.020And the first commitment of the 2024 cycle is we are going to be working together for a $5 million investment in the swing battleground state of Wisconsin, focusing on voter registration, early voting, and building a ballot chasing operation so that when we have our candidate in 2024, that person will be able to win the presidency.
00:10:16.320You know, we actually had, so we had Tyler on yesterday from Turning Point Action, and we were talking about the micro-targeting, the ballot chase operations, ballot harvesting, drop boxes where it's possible.
00:10:29.220And I had kind of known that all of this was in the mix, but it was killing me because they said, oh, no, no, we're going to, you know, the ink isn't dry yet.
00:10:56.000This is going to be a game-changing partnership with Turning Point Action, actually having funding that we can have offices in places like Kenosha, a swing county that currently doesn't have an office.
00:11:10.480And it's going to be about hiring boots on the ground so that we can be at the Wisconsin State Fair this summer registering voters, getting people to sign up for mail-in ballots,
00:11:21.300and going to Northwest Wisconsin, where, by the way, in the Supreme Court election, we had two feet of snow, talking about the value of early voting, of locking in your votes early for 2024.
00:11:36.760So when we talked to Tyler about this yesterday, we went through this idea of micro-targeting and how that's something that actually can be done today,
00:11:47.240that we can start already with boots on the ground, volunteers reaching out to people, putting these hours together,
00:11:53.060also with the technology where possible to be able to plug this all in, because you've got to do the work of actually identifying the voters first.
00:12:27.960And so if you go to Early Vote Action, our application that you can download either on iPhone or Android from your Play Store or Google Store,
00:12:39.220you go to make phone calls and you will have the power to contact right now at this very second unaffiliated voters and do an official straw poll.
00:12:59.340And if they indicate to us Trump or DeSantis, we have the opportunity to educate them to go to pavoterservices.pa.gov to change their party affiliation.
00:13:10.040And that data is going to be so invaluable going into 2024, having that infrastructure in place.
00:13:19.480You're exactly right, because Pennsylvania – now, I can always speak to Pennsylvania because that's my home state, my home Commonwealth – that in PA, it's a closed primary, which means – and most states are like this, by the way.
00:13:30.640That means you do not have the opportunity to vote in the primary.
00:13:38.700You know, we've heard all the great arguments.
00:13:40.500Oh, I like Trump because of this, this, and this, and other people saying, well, I'm taking a look at DeSantis because I like how he did in Florida, et cetera, et cetera.
00:13:54.380This is also – and, Scott, I know you remember as well as I – the great Rush Limbaugh had actually played his – you know what I'm going to say – his famous Operation Chaos back in 2008,
00:14:05.080when he was having people in the Rush Limbaugh audience, his massive audience, register as Democrat so they could go and vote for Hillary to keep the fight up against Barack Obama.
00:14:15.460That's the same exact system that we're talking about here, and that's why it's so important.
00:14:19.920By the way, not months from now, not weeks from now, right now, you can be doing the work at home.
00:14:26.260You can download this app, and I would encourage you to do so.
00:14:28.800Scott, give us the coordinates again for that app.
00:14:35.740So you can go to your iPhone or Android, the Google Store or Play Store, type in early vote action.
00:14:44.320It's going to show as the icon, it says EVA, and the V is like a checkmark, like you're voting.
00:14:52.840And if you download the application, on the top left-hand corner, you're going to click on these arrows.
00:14:57.880Then you're going to be directed to a page that says, make phone calls, register to vote, knock on doors, add a contact.
00:15:07.140And by the way, any contact that you add is going to be saved on there, so you, who have built that relationship, will be able to follow up with that person.
00:15:17.240But when you click on make phone calls, you're going to go, oh, it's awesome.
00:15:20.620So that way we're actually relationship building, we're networking, and it's not Jack calling and Scott calling somebody else, you are that one.
00:15:30.320And when you go to make phone calls, it's going to give you 25 unaffiliated voters for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
00:15:37.460I've already been on there, and it's everyone.
00:15:39.760It's young people, it's middle-aged, it's older.
00:15:42.680And you're doing an official survey to ascertain the ideology of that person.
00:15:49.560And if we find out they're a Republican, boom, pavoterservices.pa.gov.
00:15:55.440And right now the Democrats have an advantage of 467,000 more Ds than ours.
00:16:00.820For context, under Obama, that was 1.1 million.
00:16:04.480So my goal is to help whittle down that number in states like Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, in preparation for 2022.
00:16:43.840And by the way, so folks know, if you go to turningpointaction.com right now, there's also going to be the conference of the Turning Point Action Conference coming up later in the summer.
00:16:56.640It'll be this July down in West Palm Beach.
00:17:00.100Everyone from the entire country is coming.
00:17:02.460President Trump will be speaking there.
00:17:04.340You must come to this action conference.
00:17:06.540In fact, Turning Point has actually decided to not hold the traditional Student Action Summit.
00:17:12.920They've turned the entire thing over to action.
00:17:15.560And, Scott, I think that's testament to you and the work that you've been doing and just the drum that you've been beating.
00:17:21.560Sometimes the only voice out there in the wilderness reminding people about these special elections, these registrations.
00:17:27.780And I think we've reached the breaking point where now even I think every mainstream candidate is now embracing this.
00:17:38.060Well, and I'm proud to announce, Jack, breaking as well, that I will be a confirmed speaker at the Turning Point Action Conference on July 15th as well.
00:17:47.720And this is all about action boots on the ground.
00:17:57.000Here's what we need to do in states like Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia.
00:18:01.360We need to register new Republican voters.
00:18:04.860And in Wisconsin, I saw a statistic that 40 percent of hunters, Second Amendment voters are not registered to vote.
00:18:12.760We need to get them on the voter rolls.
00:18:14.300That's number two, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona.
00:18:19.000This is conversion from unaffiliated to Republican.
00:18:22.720Next, we need to get low propensity Republicans to vote by mail because if they're not going in person, well, let's have their ballot shipped to them.
00:18:33.000Let's do ballot chasing and make sure that that paper ballot is locked in.
00:18:36.760Next, we need to do an education campaign on the importance of early voting and why we need to lock in every single vote because the Democrats vote for weeks and Republicans vote for 12 hours.
00:18:49.520We need to also engage with the Amish community.
00:18:54.000Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York.
00:18:57.520We have all of these Midwestern states that we have a healthy Amish community that we need to be engaging with because, for example, we turn out those 80,000 Amish in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
00:19:08.480That is the election right there doing faith coalition building, Second Amendment coalition building boots on the ground and opening up offices in key swing battleground areas like Kenosha, engaging in Waukesha, Washington, Ozaukee, Northwest Wisconsin.
00:19:31.440You know, it's interesting you mentioned Kenosha.
00:19:33.500So I've actually spent a good deal of time there for a completely separate issue, as everybody I'm sure remembers, the riots of 2020 and Kyle Rittenhouse.
00:19:44.560This, of course, took place in Kenosha.
00:19:46.960Kenosha was an area which, if I remember, they actually flipped red just very recently.
00:19:54.460It had been blue, but then flipped red in response to that crime, in response to the lawlessness, in response to the insanity.
00:20:02.940And one of the reasons that all of the prosecution was going after Kyle, they were trying to make him the face of all that, as if he's the one that was looting the town and marauding through the town and burning down the town.
00:20:55.840With all due respect to winning back the presidency, this is an important year in 2023.
00:21:01.160I live in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
00:21:03.560We have every seat in the state legislature up for election this year.
00:21:08.460That's every seat in the state Senate and House of Delegates.
00:21:11.080And as you remember, in 2021, we won the governorship of Glenn Youngkin.
00:21:15.120Let's give Glenn Youngkin a legislature that we can work with by holding the House of Delegates and flipping two state Senate seats this November.
00:21:24.440And then we will control all three levels of government.
00:21:27.840Kentucky flipping the governorship this November.
00:21:30.720Louisiana flipping the governorship this October.
00:21:33.340Pennsylvania winning a state Supreme Court seat.
00:21:36.120And if we do win that, the Democrats will only have a very narrow four to three majority on the state Supreme Court.
00:22:10.120And as you're focused on those states that you just outlined, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mississippi, you're doing the same work that you'll be able to then just roll over into the presidential year either way.
00:22:36.360And this is how I got started in politics in Pennsylvania, that you you find the people that are willing to put in the time, that are willing to come in and make phone calls, willing to go knock on doors on a Saturday morning.
00:22:46.600Those are the people that you identify in what you would consider, quote unquote, an off year election.
00:22:55.360Scott Pressler, what do you want people to focus on most importantly here in this year?
00:23:01.200I'm so thankful for my election integrity people that want to do electioneering on Election Day.
00:23:09.480And I'm thankful for the people that want to engage in legal ballot harvesting and ballot chasing.
00:23:14.280But both of those things can't happen unless an election is ongoing.
00:23:17.540If you want to win, I ask you to join me, please, in spending your time from now until next year, before October, registering new voters, educating people on the value of early voting.
00:23:31.600Get as many people that you can, low propensity voters on the mail and voter list.
00:23:36.480And if we do those things, we are going to be building that infrastructure that whoever our Republican candidate is in 2024, that person will actually have the chance to win because we currently don't have that infrastructure.
00:23:50.860And I'm proud to be partnering with Turning Point Action.
00:24:28.060It's actually kind of running my family right now because we got a little bit of jet lag after travel.
00:24:33.440And so when you come in with Blackout Coffee, this is what gives you the energy to keep going, to keep firing on all pistons, to stay high energy.
00:24:44.020And the folks over at Blackout Coffee, if you go to BlackoutCoffee.com slash POSO right now, you can receive and obtain 20% off your first order with promo code POSO20.
00:24:55.920So make sure, I know it's usually the other one, but we're using promo code POSO20 right now to get your 20% off your first order.
00:25:06.020You're going to love it as much as I do.
00:25:08.260Another thing I loved recently was a piece in the Wall Street Journal that I read with the headline,
00:25:14.9602024 Presidential Candidates Against the Administrative State.
00:25:19.820And it's amazing to me that this idea, this concept of the deep state, the permanent state, the constant state, that this has gotten so mainstream.
00:25:28.080I remember it used to be people would say, oh, it's Alex Jones, that's InfoWars stuff, that's all over.
00:25:33.820And I said, well, what if they're actually describing something that's actually true?
00:25:38.700Well, it turns out there is a permanent state.
00:25:40.440And believe it or not, our next guest, James Bacon of Project 2025, is explaining how Trump, DeSantis, and even RFK Jr. are breaking this down all for us.
00:26:13.440Now that the Durham report has come out and shows all of the abuses that the FBI and the Justice Department had,
00:26:22.820when you become president on day one, what are you going to do to restore the respect for the FBI and our law enforcement back into this country that it once had?
00:26:36.660And, you know, the FBI has, and you have a lot of great people in the FBI, but the FBI has taken hits like in history like they haven't taken.
00:35:55.060There were thousands of people who applied, many of which were extremely loyal, had fantastic resumes, impeccable resumes, impeccably credentialed, as you would say.
00:36:04.940And there were people in D.C. who wanted President Trump to fail that destroyed that entire database.
00:36:11.420And so what you're doing, and it's so admirable, is taking the time to put together the work at, and so you're doing this under the auspices of heritage, but essentially it's for whatever the next administration is.
00:36:24.040So it's for whoever becomes president on the conservative side.
00:36:29.360But you're right, not a single person was hired from greatagain.gov.
00:36:34.880So this is the answer to the establishment's takeover of the Trump administration's personnel in 2017.
00:36:41.820You know, the old presidential personnel office, I tell people a lot of the time they weren't trying to undermine the Trump administration, but they were D.C. Republicans.
00:36:57.120These aren't people from outside of D.C. who believed in Trump's 2016 agenda of reining the swamp and restoring people into control of our government.
00:37:23.940I think Project 2025, we need to be able to put stuff like this forward.
00:37:28.480We need to be able to take, and by the way, if there are people who were from the prior administration that want to come forward, that are still willing and able to do this, if they're loyal, because you've seen a lot of these guys now that are out just bashing, John Bolton, great example, someone who's out there completely.
00:37:43.620Now, by the way, John Bolton is not a guy that I would consider for rehiring to begin with.
00:37:48.680This is a guy who out there, he is today calling, he was on CNN, he's calling for increased strikes, not on Russian forces, but actually within Russian territory itself.
00:38:00.100He's saying that even the Ukrainians, by the way, haven't come out and agreed to this, but he hasn't found a war that he doesn't like.
00:38:06.340He's saying, you know, we need to invade Iran.
00:38:07.700This is, of course, why they're leaking on Jack Smith, is leaking on President Trump, so they wanted to invade Iran, he wouldn't let them do that.
00:38:14.620They wanted to invade Syria, that was McMaster, he wouldn't let them do that.
00:38:17.720And then John Bolton, who just wants to invade everybody, and he wouldn't let them do it better.
00:38:21.100Plus, he's insane, and Pompeo had this idea about regime change down in Venezuela, and this whole thing with Juan Guaido, and Maduro.
00:38:27.840It was a joke, it was a complete joke.
00:38:49.580With all these candidates competing and saying they're going to drain the swamp, how do we actually know who's going to do it?
00:38:56.060You know, Trump did a very interesting thing in 2016 when he released his list of conservative judges that he would pick from, sort of to tell social conservatives, I will pick conservative judges.
00:39:09.620Imagine if Trump did something similar now and said, this is who I'm going to pick for my cabinet, this is who I'm going to pick for my White House.
00:39:18.180I think that saying who your team is going to be is the absolutely essential and most important thing you can indicate to show that you're going to take on the deep state.
00:39:38.080Thank you for your time, both inside and now outside of the administration, serving your country and making America great again.
00:39:46.000Folks, we need to understand that we are up against an administrative state that's been there for a century.
00:39:52.940If we are not actually willing to do the work of getting the people there, we have to understand personnel as policy.
00:40:02.180Folks, we know that stuff is getting crazy out there.
00:40:06.360We know that when we're talking about the potential for a two-front global conflict,
00:40:14.360we're already in a proxy war in Ukraine.
00:40:16.980Is there a possibility that we get into another proxy war or, God forbid, active kinetic warfare with the Chinese Communist Party in Taiwan?
00:41:58.180It almost feels like the Bud Lighting, Target, the L.A. Dodgers, which has yet to happen, by the way, and we're still going to have to just stay tuned on that one.
00:42:26.820When they are on their back foot, that is when you advance.
00:42:30.420That is when you have to actually move and take ground in the culture war.
00:42:36.020Now, there was this whole thing out of the Daily Wire earlier where they were saying they were going to play what is a woman on Twitter.
00:42:42.900And then they were claiming that they had been banned from Twitter from playing it because of misgendering, because of a couple scenes in the movie, et cetera.
00:42:52.000And they were saying that Twitter had backed out of the deal.
00:42:54.040Elon Musk has come out on Twitter now and stated, we're just seeing this in the last couple of minutes, actually breaking news as the show is on.
00:43:00.580They are now moving to be able to show that he said this was an error.
00:43:11.080Oh, boy, guys, unfortunately, we've got to reset the clock again.
00:43:16.720Days since Joe Biden fell down, President Biden just tripped and fell during the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony visit, was helped up.
00:47:04.980And this may have been, I have to go back and watch it again, but this may have been the ankle that we know he had hurt or he had hurt his foot early on.
00:47:17.700So say a prayer for our devout Catholic commander in chief, President Biden.
00:47:22.800Hope that he gets well and maybe, just maybe, he could resign and go home and then we could get a real president, even though, of course, the current vice president isn't very much of one.
00:47:33.340Folks, this is what happens when America does not have strong leadership.
00:47:39.240We're a laughing stock at home, we're a laughing stock abroad, and I guarantee you that video is going to be played everywhere.
