00:02:52.280
show trial of stephen k bannon the former chief strategist to the president united states donald trump
00:02:59.300
is moving forward in federal court and is set to commence on july 18th so just about one month away
00:03:11.000
from the trial of stephen k bannon now that could be delayed there's a number of reasons
00:03:16.260
they could have motions that cause it to delay they could have personal reasons that it could delay
00:03:20.800
from either side the judges side etc tons of reasons it could be delayed but as of right now
00:03:25.440
as we stand right now the trial of stephen k bannon will take place
00:03:34.400
2022 so you need to understand that you need to understand that this isn't something that's going
00:03:40.240
away it's not something that we can just not worry about let it go on its own
00:03:44.780
you know this is coming forward why is he going on trial right what are the charges
00:03:48.440
the charges are that he refused to respond to a subpoena or i should say comply with the subpoena
00:03:55.440
to the january 6 committee which is in and of itself an unconstitutional committee
00:04:00.520
however when bannon's lawyers tried to make that case make that argument in court
00:04:06.200
the judge did not buy it even though we can look at the facts and clearly it is not a constitutional
00:04:11.880
body right it is a legislative committee right congress is the legislative branch
00:04:18.860
what's the legislation here what's the remedy what are they looking for this is a witch hunt
00:04:23.520
it is a show trial so a criminal referral that comes out of a show trial comes out of a witch hunt
00:04:29.880
can only be a show trial right that's how that works but let's dig into the actual facts
00:04:35.020
and this is from cnn so you know i'm not uh can accuse me of bias there right a federal judge on
00:04:41.000
wednesday refused to throw out charges against stephen bannon for contempt of congress sending the
00:04:46.260
former donald trump advisor to trial next month judge carl nichols of the dc district court rejected
00:04:51.700
bannon's motion to dismiss the case against him including his arguments that the house's select
00:04:55.960
committee's subpoenas were illegal and that he was protected by the secrecy of the presidency
00:05:00.220
because he had been in contact with trump at the end of his administration the decision is likely to
00:05:05.220
add firepower to the house's january 6 investigation no it won't which is holding public hearings this
00:05:11.060
month on its findings bannon several other conservatives have tried to fight the select committee subpoenas
00:05:15.320
in court but their arguments have been repeatedly rejected by federal judges bannon is the first
00:05:19.920
criminal proceeding to be green-lighted by a judge another trump advisor peter navarro was more
00:05:25.760
recently charged by the justice department with contempt of congress related to its january 6
00:05:30.580
investigation nichols said on wednesdays judge nichols the court cannot conclude as a matter of law
00:05:37.960
that the committee was improperly constituted nor that bannon is correct to argue the subpoena wasn't
00:05:42.180
properly cut and the indictment isn't valid after all the full house approved right here's the situation
00:05:48.380
here's the situation they are asking in this committee of the legislative it's a constitutional
00:05:55.500
argument right it's not criminal conduct it's a constitutional argument the committee is asking
00:06:00.540
about privileged communications that steve had with president trump towards the end of his
00:06:08.100
administration but while he was the president what steve's lawyers have said is that they cannot
00:06:16.240
divulge that information to the legislative branch why because president trump has declared executive
00:06:23.620
privilege over them executive privilege covers communications of the president he has a case
00:06:29.160
that is before the supreme court and so what bannon has said as a matter of course as lawyers advice
00:06:35.800
was that he cannot comply with the subpoena because they're not asking him about what he said
00:06:41.800
they're asking him about what president trump said that would be covered by executive privilege now you
00:06:48.860
can look back one way or the other and say okay you know maybe that's not executive privilege which which
00:06:54.220
way or another but it's clearly not criminal conduct it's a constitutional debate it's a constitutional
00:06:59.700
argument it's not a crime to debate the constitution but that's what we have here because we have a two-tier
00:07:06.020
system of justice it's not hypocrisy it's hierarchy this is banana republic behavior they're going after
00:07:14.600
the chief advisors to the president of the united states of the opposition understand what point in the

00:08:56.400
dictator a pure thug who is waging an immoral war against the people in ukraine well and this story
00:09:04.140
is something that suffice to say we knew it would be coming right and we had got the first indications
00:09:09.320
of this yesterday i wanted to wait for a little bit more reporting on it but it has been confirmed
00:09:13.520
at this point that two american volunteers that went over to fight in ukraine in the ukrainian
00:09:21.400
international battalion have been captured by russian forces uh the two gentlemen both came over
00:09:29.120
they're both prior service members in the united states prior veterans i believe one was army and one
00:09:34.440
was a marine uh they were captured outside of the city of kharkiv first individual is named robert
00:09:41.480
druk 39 the second andy huynh 27 uh druk was from tuscaloosa alabama andy himself was born in
00:09:51.420
california but then also had been studying in alabama they were captured while fighting for
00:09:55.860
the ukrainian army last week the pair were part of a two-men squad which encountered russian forces
00:10:00.940
in kharkiv they reportedly disabled a russian tank but were lost in the fog of return fire and then
00:10:07.300
disappeared druk served in iraq in the u.s army when a former marine had never been in active
00:10:13.160
combat before give an interview before he ventured to the region in which he said that he was prepared
00:10:17.960
to die there are fears that the two of them may be given the same death sentences as the two british
00:10:25.280
fighters who were captured last week sean pinner and aden aslan those two were captured in april and last
00:10:31.380
week were sentenced to death by a firing squad the biden administration has not yet even commented
00:10:36.840
on the capture of the two americans russia continues to advance through ukraine mazelinski begs the west
00:10:42.560
for more weapons and support by president biden on wednesday pledged another one billion dollars
00:10:47.800
in support to ukraine i'm reading this from the daily mail peace look i i don't really know what to say
00:10:54.480
right this was inevitable right this was inevitable that if you were going to go over and we just got
00:10:58.080
back from there my brother and i got back from ukraine and we're seeing it we saw it up close
00:11:04.700
and personal not as up close and personal as these two did obviously and i had my brother on war room
00:11:10.360
yesterday we were discussing some of the things that we did see while we were on the ground in ukraine
00:11:14.680
and we might be doing a special episode of human events daily to really kind of go in depth and talk
00:11:20.660
more about not only my recollections and of course we have that piece from uh when i recorded it on the
00:11:26.380
train coming back from odessa the night train from odessa but actually get my brother in here
00:11:30.840
and kind of interview him based on what his perceptions were you know one thing he said to me
00:11:35.500
after the interview yesterday was he pointed out you know there's so many ukrainian flags that you see in
00:11:43.440
america right now so many people supporting the ukrainian people he said but when we were in ukraine
00:11:48.760
i didn't see a single american flag to say you know thank you for our support or say that you're
00:11:56.140
standing with the american people and it just was a perception you know an observation that he had made
00:12:01.440
so when you look at this case in this situation you also go back and look at some of the losses that
00:12:08.520
are coming through a ukrainian official a ukrainian official just put this out and axios has the story
00:12:14.220
that they are losing as many as 100 to 200 excuse me 200 to 500 soldiers killed on average every day
00:12:26.800
in the east in the donbass region and up to 1 000 ukrainian soldiers killed or wounded casualties
00:12:34.680
every day in that donbass region what's the big picture president vladimir zelinski said on june 1st
00:12:40.060
60 to 100 troops were being killed daily but as russia has stepped up its donbass offensive
00:12:46.420
and these new negotiations it does look like as many as 1 000 casualties per day what ukrainian
00:12:54.820
what ukrainian lacks they say is the weaponry and ammunition to match russia etc etc look
00:12:59.020
the russian supply lines are right there the russian army is right there the encirclement operations
00:13:07.240
are continuing and president macron over in france came out yesterday and he said look
00:13:13.480
europe is a long continent and at the end of europe russia is there and they are a strong country
00:13:20.840
they are there today they were there yesterday they will be there tomorrow we have to figure out a way
00:13:26.840
to live together geography is destiny hong kong is next to china taiwan is right across the strait
00:13:35.140
right you have to find a way you have to find a way to figure this out because when you look at the
00:13:42.520
situation in the taiwan strait what does president xi want chairman xi rather want they want to call
00:13:49.440
it operation t mark my words he is going to be making his move on taiwan very soon
00:13:57.040
we've created a new program if there are guns around your house that you do not want the city
00:14:04.040
of miami will buy them back from you and send them to the ukraine so we know that the number one source
00:14:10.800
of uh crime guns at least in the city of miami are weapons that have been stolen uh from citizens right
00:14:16.900
and now are being used by criminals uh secondary motive straw buyers we're working with atf on that
00:14:21.760
but this one uh it's going to help us kind of keep guns away from the hands of folks that don't want
00:14:28.100
them that don't need them that are not comfortable with them or for you know personal reasons no longer
00:14:33.360
wish to have it or wish to you know surrender them voluntarily uh so we're looking forward to getting
00:14:38.920
the entire city of miami and the whole county as a whole involved and and have them contribute and
00:14:45.480
donate any weapons that are unwanted uh any weapons that that you no longer feel you can take care of
00:14:51.440
we'll take them off your hands and we'll make sure it gets the right hands in ukraine and help the
00:14:55.120
fight against communism now this is a story that just warms my heart this is this is really one of
00:15:00.520
those stories when you look at it and you think boy i just love everything that's going on in our
00:15:05.780
country i love you know i look at the news and it just makes me happy it makes me so wonderful
00:15:09.860
i feel so filled with joy and the grace of god when i see stories like this the city of miami
00:15:17.220
is holding a guns for ukraine firearm buyback program isn't that nice isn't that wonderful
00:15:24.840
folks the guns received through this program would be shipped to ukraine to support the country's
00:15:31.580
efforts to defend itself from the ongoing russian invasion the city of miami and we've got the little
00:15:38.240
card here that got and they've got prices they've actually got price levels so you know it's like a
00:15:43.040
multi-level marketing right so you want to get in here we go here's where to go we want to support
00:15:47.400
ukraine and take guns off the streets turn in your firearm and let's go through the details of this
00:15:53.220
you get a 50 gift card for a firearm i guess that's your handguns 100 gift card for a shotgun or rifle
00:16:01.380
but if you turn in a 223 caliber ar-15 or ak-47 you get a 150 gift card well that's interesting because
00:16:12.760
i don't know if anyone's paying attention there but an ak-47 is not 223 ak-47 is
00:16:19.960
is a 7.62 round so kind of explain or a 308 so maybe you could explain to us which i guess they do
00:16:29.160
make ak-47s that are rifled in 223 but are they saying that specifically if i had the ak-47 and a
00:16:35.380
308 i'd ask for more i want 200 at least by the way who in their right mind is going to be turning in
00:16:41.680
right even if you have like you know your worst bargain bin built it yourself lower receiver etc
00:16:49.640
ar-15 you're still spending more than 150 bucks on it you're spending at least 400 500 and probably
00:16:56.900
with inflation right now and if you're looking at the higher end what that's probably like a thousand
00:17:00.660
or more including accessories put it this way put it this way if you are someone who is willing to
00:17:07.260
turn your gun in for something like this then you deserve to not have guns anymore right you deserve
00:17:12.340
to lose your right to self-defense at that point if you're if you're just willing to go and do this
00:17:15.760
right what i think is amazing though is that i see the left they love this they love this idea they
00:17:21.860
think it's wonderful and this is the same left that normally hates guns so explain this to me right
00:17:26.160
just just just walk me through just want to be very careful about this so guns are bad because
00:17:32.200
guns cause crime that's the left's contention so if guns are bad in the united states you get rid of
00:17:39.360
handguns get rid of the shotguns and rifles the ar-15s and the ak-47s even the 223 ak-47s
00:17:47.560
do they at what point on their way to ukraine do they be magically become good is it when they leave
00:17:55.620
the united states is it when they're going over the ocean are they going on the air perhaps are
00:17:59.960
they on an airplane do they magically become good when they finally get into the soil of ukraine does
00:18:06.000
that magically make guns good when they cross the border there at lviv like we did right i still don't
00:18:11.360
get this it's amazing by the way it's amazing because i saw a tweet last week from george takei
00:18:16.820
and uh the star wars actor huge lib right he probably doesn't even run his own account but he said
00:18:21.400
something like and i'm gonna i'm gonna butcher it but he was like he was like i i'm glad that all the
00:18:26.680
people of ukraine have assault rifles because they're now able to defend their country looking
00:18:31.800
at it like yes exactly that's exactly the point george it's like accidental conservative talking
00:18:40.200
points right yeah they're able to defend themselves that's the whole right put it this way put it this
00:18:45.640
way right number one if they asked me whatever happened to your guns i say i lost all my guns in a
00:18:49.600
voting accident that's number one but number two they said why do you need an ar-15 i said well i
00:18:53.540
need to my ar-15 defends me from the evil racist vladimir putin that's what you got to say say it
00:19:00.820
every single time and just watch their heads evil racist vladimir putin that's why we need ar-15s
00:19:06.320
in the midst of meeting these challenges we our entire nation saw horrifying images that do not reflect
00:19:16.460
who we are who we aspire to be or the integrity and values of our truly heroic personnel in the
00:19:24.640
department of homeland security the investigation into what occurred has not yet concluded we know
00:19:31.640
that those images painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation's ongoing battle against
00:19:38.520
systemic racism and our final story today comes to us via the new york post the department of homeland
00:19:45.360
security is preparing to discipline discipline multiple horseback police uh border patrol agents
00:19:52.600
involved in the whipping of haitian migrants at the u.s mexico border except that's kind of funny
00:19:58.280
because i remember looking into this story when it first happened i didn't see any whipping i didn't see
00:20:04.280
whipping at all what i saw were the reins of the horse right the rider has holding the reins in his hand
00:20:10.520
and he was twirling them sure but it wasn't whipping anyone those aren't whips those are reins
00:20:15.220
have you ever ridden a horse before city people right this is ridiculous and now they're being what
00:20:21.960
does it say a federal source told fox news that in the coming days homeland security so mayorkas
00:20:27.280
secretary mayorkas is offering a proposal to discipline the agents who then have had the chance
00:20:32.260
to defend themselves the charges will be administrative violations but the agents were
00:20:38.020
cleared of criminal charges images at the u.s mexico border showing federal agents on horseback
00:20:43.400
until rio texas attempting to stop migrants from entering the company country provoked outrage
00:20:48.120
particularly among democratic lawmakers some accused the agents of using their long reins meant to
00:20:53.900
control the horses as whips against the migrants and investigation was later launched
00:20:58.020
the photographer right the photographer who was there not even a member totally independent guy
00:21:04.700
said the images have been misconstrued as showing abusive behavior there was no abusive behavior
00:21:11.620
there wasn't at all right and the one one picture you can actually see um the reins are just falling
00:21:17.380
falling off the horse right because that's what reins would do and then he's using his hand to reach
00:21:22.440
forward and grab the migrant but biden of course came out it was horrible what you see
00:21:27.760
the people treated like they were the horse was nearly running them over people being well okay like
00:21:34.140
no serious country on the face of the planet would treat the border like this none you'd set up a wall
00:21:42.440
you'd set up some kind of security it's not the border patrol's fault that these guys were trying to cross
00:21:50.340
in an area where there's no roads of course they were trying to do that because they didn't want
00:21:55.900
to be caught that's why you needed the horses to go and get there this is insane it's complete it's
00:22:03.540
it's absolutely backwards everything we do is backwards i swear it's like we have a border
00:22:09.240
as an open door that's not a real border that should be defended no no no it's a border that exists
00:22:16.200
