Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Lies, Leaks, and Lawfare: Censorship Corruption Exposed | TRIGGERED Ep.263

00:06:24.000 Hey guys, welcome to another huge, huge episode of Triggered.

00:06:29.000 It's been another week of non-stop travel.

00:06:32.000 I was over in Scotland where my father announced a historic EU trade deal, the biggest trade deal ever.

00:06:41.000 It puts Americans first, it puts American workers first, and we even happened to open up a new golf course, which is all in a day's work.

00:06:50.000 It was a really cool experience because I got to bring my kids over there.

00:06:55.000 They got to sit like me, a fly on the wall, watching a master negotiate.

00:07:02.000 It was really cool.

00:07:03.000 I mean, it's one of the things I'm truly most privileged to be able to experience.

00:07:06.000 Again, just a fly on the wall in the background watching this stuff happen for them.

00:07:12.000 You know, my kids, his grandkids, to be able to experience some of that.

00:07:15.000 I mean, truly, truly epic just to be a small part of American history, even if it's only in the periphery and in the background.

00:07:26.000 But it was a great trip.

00:07:28.000 They got to go to Scotland, see all these things, watch it happen, play some golf.

00:07:34.000 It was pretty awesome.

00:07:35.000 He's one of the few guys that can go play golf and also negotiate simultaneously the largest trade deal in history, amongst many other things, like, I don't know, minor details like solving a war between Thailand and Cambodia.

00:07:50.000 You know, again, all in a day's work.

00:07:52.000 Guys, today we'll also get into some deranged Democrat responses to the violence that took place, the disgusting violence that took place in Cincinnati, you know, where I guess a small group of people really, they attacked a mob with their faces, end up in the hospital.

00:08:15.000 But, you know, there's always a different perspective to that.

00:08:18.000 Same stuff going on in New York.

00:08:20.000 It's absolutely nuts.

00:08:22.000 We'll also get into all the latest unraveling of the deep states Russia hoax scheme.

00:08:28.000 There's apparently hidden documents now being discovered in burn bags.

00:08:33.000 So we'll get into all of those details very shortly.

00:11:13.000 And now, let's get into all of the top headlines.

00:11:17.000 So we'll begin with this massive, massive EU trade deal announced earlier this week while we were in Scotland with my father, watching, again, a master at work.

00:11:28.000 And spoiler alert, guys, I know you'll be shocked to hear this.

00:11:33.000 The experts were wrong.

00:11:36.000 Again, I mean, at what point do the experts lose their expert status?

00:11:43.000 I mean, if you're wrong about everything for years straight, shouldn't you go back like a couple of leagues?

00:11:50.000 Like if you're a baseball player, like you don't stay in the major leagues if you're batting, you know, 0.00000, maybe 0.0001.

00:12:01.000 You don't stay there, but I don't think any of that's going to ever change.

00:12:04.000 So now, under this agreement with the EU, the EU is going to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy.

00:12:14.000 Hmm, seems like a big deal, right?

00:12:16.000 Rather than buy it from Russia or wherever and supplying and enriching our enemies, they're going to buy three quarters of a trillion dollars from the United States.

00:12:29.000 And they're going to make investments of $600 billion into the United States, all by 2028.

00:12:37.000 This isn't some distant promise, guys.

00:12:39.000 We'll talk about it.

00:12:40.000 You know, we'll talk about it in 2050 when no one remembers it.

00:12:42.000 No one cares and then we'll change the deal.

00:12:44.000 This is happening now.

00:12:46.000 It's starting now.

00:12:48.000 And we'll have the dollars here in America in just a short period of time.

00:12:54.000 Also, the European Union will pay the United States a tariff rate of 15%, including on autos and auto parts, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, etc.

00:13:07.000 And guys, there will be no retaliation on the part of Europe for the U.S. tariff hype.

00:13:13.000 Remember, the EU is the largest trading partner of the United States, the biggest of all of them, actually.

00:13:20.000 And this deal is the largest bilateral trade deal ever reached, ever.

00:13:25.000 It's not even close.

00:13:26.000 It's one that corrects decades of trade imbalances.

00:13:31.000 You know, they made it impossible for our cars to get there.

00:13:33.000 They tariffed our stuff.

00:13:35.000 We just said, oh, send your stuff here, whatever.

00:13:37.000 We'll make you rich.

00:13:37.000 We'll get poor.

00:13:38.000 What could possibly go wrong?

00:13:41.000 It gets rid of those imbalances.

00:13:43.000 Or, to put it differently, we're not getting ripped off any longer.

00:13:50.000 Of course, it's also a vindication of this tough approach to trade negotiations.

00:13:56.000 How many times, how many times, guys, do we hear the media whine and bitch and complain over and over again that this would never work?

00:14:06.000 This was going to destroy the U.S. economy.

00:14:10.000 At one point, they even claimed tariff policy was like steering the Titanic towards the iceberg.

00:14:17.000 Here's a little trip down memory lane.

00:14:20.000 Is the market is pricing in the high probability of a recession?

00:14:24.000 That's really what this is all about right now.

00:14:26.000 How much, how little, we don't know.

00:14:28.000 I will say that if there is going to be a recession, there could be further for stocks to fall here.

00:14:34.000 One way to think about this, Chris, is the future value of America is now $7 to $10 trillion less than it was before Donald Trump took office.

00:14:44.000 And I guess another way to think about it is this, that, you know, the Titanic hit an iceberg by accident.

00:14:51.000 This is the equivalent of steering the Titanic towards the iceberg.

00:14:57.000 But the fear-mongering didn't stop there, guys.

00:15:00.000 Over at CNN, they warned that 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists said Trump tariff policy would only make inflation worse.

00:15:11.000 Check them out.

00:15:13.000 Now, these 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists, they're warning that Trump's policies wouldn't just fail to fix inflation, they would actually make matters worse.

00:15:22.000 Let me read you the key line from this letter, which was put out just yesterday.

00:15:26.000 They wrote, we believe that a second Trump term would have a negative impact on the U.S.'s economic standing in the world and a destabilizing effect on the U.S.'s domestic economy.

00:15:36.000 The letter, which was organized by famed economist Joseph Stieglitz, argues that the Trump policies would, quote, re-ignite inflation.

00:15:45.000 They point to what they described as, quote, fiscally irresponsible budget.

00:15:50.000 Okay, these are probably the same Nobel laureates like Paul Krugman.

00:15:54.000 Remember this one?

00:15:55.000 When he said, no, no, no, during Biden.

00:15:57.000 He's, no, no, no, inflation's really good.

00:16:00.000 And the asterisk to the graph that showed it was really good was, if you exclude, what was it, energy, housing, food, and transportation.

00:16:08.000 So remember, guys, Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate economist, he won the Nobel Prize in economics.

00:16:13.000 Inflation under Biden was great.

00:16:15.000 If you take out food, energy, housing, and transportation.

00:16:20.000 You know, if you take out everything, everything needed to sustain basic life, things were pretty good.

00:16:27.000 Of course, that's not reality.

00:16:30.000 In reality, we told a far different story.

00:16:35.000 This week, GDP growth, gross domestic product growth came in at 3%.

00:16:42.000 That's huge.

00:16:43.000 That beat expectations.

00:16:45.000 That's a lot better than we'd seen for a long time.

00:16:48.000 And inflation was just at 2%.

00:16:52.000 And the panics were all wrong again.

00:16:56.000 The pennicins.

00:16:57.000 Trump was right, as always.

00:16:59.000 Check it out.

00:17:01.000 Again, GDP, this is the first read of the second quarter coming in at 3%.

00:17:06.000 That is better than expected.

00:17:08.000 2.4%.

00:17:09.000 I want to bring in Adam Johnson.

00:17:10.000 Markets are certainly watching this right now.

00:17:12.000 Yeah, goldie lots, because I would add to that, Cheryl, that the GDP price index was only 2% and the expectation was 2.2.

00:17:20.000 In other words, we have an economy growing at, what do you say, 3%.

00:17:24.000 We have inflation at 2%.

00:17:26.000 That's the best of both worlds.

00:17:28.000 So I'm very positive on that report, at least in the moment.

00:17:31.000 And just yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson sat down with Matt Boyle and laid out how we are seeing a blue-collar wage boom.

00:17:41.000 Another thing, again, the so-called experts claimed was impossible.

00:17:46.000 One thing that's important here is, you know, there's the job numbers, but then we look at the number of jobs for American citizens, and that's really taken off.

00:17:56.000 And somehow, in the academic literature, in the mainstream media for years, the one area where supply and demand didn't matter was low-end labor.

00:18:08.000 We can let hundreds of thousands, then it turned into millions, and then maybe tens of millions of people crossed the border, and it wouldn't suppress wages.

00:18:20.000 And now, I think that we've had this horrible, horrible despair, especially among young men aged 16 to 35.

00:18:33.000 We're seeing a real problem there.

00:18:38.000 But I think now that we're seeing real wage growth, that good, high-paying jobs are coming back, that I think this is just going to build on itself.

00:18:48.000 Because a lot of these commitments for the trade deals are for substantial investments in the U.S. But despite all of this, despite the data, despite everything, Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is still clinging to the idea that tariffs are going to cause inflation.

00:19:09.000 He's basically been saying it every day since January 20th.

00:19:12.000 He was the one that cut rates right before the election to try to help Joe Biden when inflation was actually rampant and out of control.

00:19:22.000 Huh.

00:19:22.000 He cut it then, but he's not doing it now when inflation is clearly in check.

00:19:30.000 Now, he's doing the opposite.

00:19:33.000 Check this out.

00:19:34.000 Well, the bottom line is that there's great news today because we had a blockbuster GDP report that really blew through expectations, gave us 3% growth, which, by the way, we delivered in President Trump's first term as well.

00:19:47.000 But 3% income growth and inflation only at 2.1%.

00:19:51.000 This is how supply-side economics works: that if you have a big increase in supply, then you get lots of growth and you don't get inflation.

00:20:00.000 Now, the problem with the Fed when we were there in the first term was that they kept thinking that the Trump tax cuts were going to cause inflation.

00:20:07.000 They were hiking rates, so they were wrong about that.

00:20:10.000 And I think that right now, if you look at central banks around the world, they have where inflation is around the world that's quite different from the Feds.

00:20:18.000 And the Fed still, as Chairman Powell kept saying today, is obsessed on the idea that tariffs are going to cause inflation.

00:20:25.000 But they've been saying that really since January, and it keeps not happening.

00:20:29.000 And in today's GDP release, as you mentioned, only 2.1% inflation.

00:20:33.000 And again, the inflation numbers, the consumer price index, have surprised on the downside.

00:20:38.000 And it says about good numbers, low inflation numbers, five months in a row.

00:20:42.000 And so at some point, the idea that the tariffs are going to cause an explosion in inflation is something that people are going to have to give up.

00:20:49.000 And if an independent Federal Reserve is data-driven and looking at the data, that our expectation is that they're going to recognize what the ECB has already recognized, that it's okay, it's safe now to cut rates.

00:21:01.000 And by the way, guys, yesterday was the first time since 1993 that two members of the Fed's board of governors have voted against the chair.

00:21:12.000 Okay?

00:21:13.000 They get it.

00:21:14.000 They're not playing politics.

00:21:16.000 It's a very politicized organization.

00:21:18.000 I know many of you clearly want to end the Fed.

00:21:20.000 Probably not a terrible idea.

00:21:22.000 Two of the chairmen voted against the leader because they understand my father was right.

00:21:31.000 They're sick of politicizing.

00:21:33.000 They understand what this means to America.

00:21:36.000 That every point of interest costs us hundreds of billions of jobs and dollars.

00:21:44.000 Just think about that.

00:21:46.000 Here's my father explaining it in detail.

00:21:50.000 Likewise, so we have a lot of money coming in and we have no inflation and we're very strong and we should be lowering the rates.

00:21:58.000 You know, each point that this gentleman keeps up costs us $365 billion a year.

00:22:08.000 Think of that.

00:22:08.000 One point, $365 billion.

00:22:12.000 If you bring it down a point, we save $365.

00:22:15.000 We should be the lowest interest rate.

00:22:18.000 And we're not.

00:22:18.000 We're 38, number 38, because of the Fed.

00:22:21.000 It's all because of the Fed.

00:22:24.000 He's done a bad job.

00:22:26.000 Now, he's got a meeting today, but I call him too late.

00:22:30.000 You know, he's always too late.

00:22:31.000 Even if he does it today, probably won't.

00:22:33.000 I hear they're going to do it in September, not today.

00:22:36.000 For what reason?

00:22:39.000 Nobody knows.

00:22:40.000 But Europe, as you know, cut their rates 11 times in the last short period of time.

00:22:48.000 But the good news is we're doing better than anybody anywhere in the world.

00:22:51.000 Nobody's doing anything even close to us.

00:22:54.000 So the Fed chair is playing politics with interest rates.

00:22:58.000 Is he upset that he got called out on his building renovation that costs more and more every single day?

00:23:03.000 Remember that one?

00:23:05.000 What was it?

00:23:05.000 $3.5 billion for a renovation.

00:23:08.000 Okay, just so we're clear, I built one of the largest buildings ever built in America, not all that long ago, a little while ago, but building it from scratch, demolishing an existing building, creating foundations, doing a hundred-story type building for $900 million.

00:23:25.000 The renovation, the touch-up job to the Fed building, $3.5 billion?

00:23:31.000 Give me a break.

00:23:33.000 Don't you ever feel sorry for Jay Powell at all?

00:23:38.000 No, I don't feel sorry for Jerome Powell.

00:23:40.000 He's worth over $200 million.

00:23:42.000 Who I feel sorry for is the Americans who can't get a mortgage because interest rates are at 20-year highs.

00:23:48.000 I feel sorry for the fact that they can't start a family.

00:23:50.000 They can't grow a family.

00:23:51.000 They can't buy a home.

00:23:52.000 I feel sad for the single mom in East Baltimore or in East Cincinnati who can't get a credit card because Jerome Powell is trying to undermine the president of the United States.

00:24:00.000 I'm sorry, Stuart.

00:24:01.000 I don't feel sorry for a man who is using his political position to undermine the duly elected president of the United States.

00:24:07.000 Jerome Powell, one, needs to lower rates and two needs to open his meetings up.

00:24:11.000 Our founding father, Stuart, would be appalled to learn that a secret group of bankers is meeting behind closed doors and we have no idea what they're actually doing in their deliberations.

00:24:23.000 And by the way, I also think it's important to note that the same people claiming that tariffs would destroy the economy are also the same ones who pushed the Russia collusion hoax from day one and who have pushed pretty much every other hoax from day one as well.

00:24:40.000 The point being, guys, these same people are always wrong on just about everything.

00:24:47.000 And the regime media just can't even allow themselves to admit the obvious that the Trump agenda is working and that the phony scandals are being exposed more than ever. 0.55

00:24:59.000 Well, I would just like to go, but I'd like to build a DeLorean and go back to April when everybody here was predicting likely to cause a recession.

00:25:08.000 Investment stops and a recession happens.

00:25:10.000 They're not talking about a U.S. recession.

00:25:12.000 They're talking about a global recession.

00:25:15.000 Eventually there's being a recession.

00:25:20.000 Palpable panic on Wall Street.

00:25:22.000 Red numbers and worries about something else that starts with an R. Recession.

00:25:27.000 You called the recession.

00:25:30.000 You took your shoe off.

00:25:30.000 And Joe.

00:25:31.000 Touch this enough again.

00:25:32.000 You took your shoe off.

00:25:33.000 You brought 15 recession.

00:25:35.000 You took your shoe off and you said there was going to be a recession.

00:25:38.000 Economic circumstances have now been put in place that most Wall Street economists of senior note say are likely to cause a recession.

00:25:49.000 GDP is 3%.

00:25:50.000 It's too early to give a final verdict.

00:25:54.000 Scott, Scott.

00:25:54.000 That's too early.

00:25:57.000 He's basically calling me.

00:25:59.000 It's too early to give a final verdict on the tariffs.

00:26:04.000 You may wish to, but at the moment, it can't be said what the long-term effect is going to be.

00:26:11.000 I am just a journalist, and all I can do is read the economic.

00:26:15.000 It's a bit of a stretch.

00:26:16.000 Three CDPs.

00:26:18.000 Trade deals, record high in the stock.

00:26:20.000 All these transformations.

00:26:24.000 It's actually much less. 0.99

00:26:24.000 Garbage. 0.99

00:26:25.000 Yes. 1.00

00:26:26.000 Hold on a second. 0.52

00:26:27.000 You guys are so mad.

00:26:27.000 Why aren't you rooting for culture?

00:26:29.000 Be careful.

00:26:29.000 Why does this take no root for flyers, please?

00:26:32.000 Because you are saying that you're ruining.

00:26:35.000 You're taking a number of 40, 50, 60% back in April, and you're comparing it to a number of 10, 15% now.

00:26:46.000 Fine.

00:26:46.000 But this is a strategy to negotiate and create leverage sky.

00:26:51.000 And give us a situation as conveniently.

00:26:54.000 Now, in addition to the documents released by DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard, the FBI director, Cash Patel, found a trove of sensitive documents related to the collusion hoax buried in multiple, quote, burn bags, burn bags.

00:27:09.000 They were ready to just get rid of it all in a secret room inside the Bureau building.

00:27:15.000 So what's a burn bag, you ask?

00:27:17.000 It's a sensitive security bag that holds sensitive or classified information which are to be destroyed by fire after a certain period of time.

00:27:28.000 And sources tell us they were stashed in a hidden room on the ninth floor of FBI HQ headquarters.

00:27:35.000 And this isn't just a one-off thing.

00:27:39.000 There's more coming.

00:27:41.000 Now ask yourself, guys, how many burn bags are scattered across the FBI or across other government agencies?

00:27:48.000 And just how much other evidence was already destroyed that we still don't know about it.

00:27:53.000 That's what I'm curious about.

00:27:55.000 How much was already gone?

00:27:56.000 How much was it like they just launched it?

00:27:58.000 They did it.

00:27:58.000 They realized it wasn't going anywhere or they realized they got what they wanted out of it.

00:28:02.000 And we're just going to burn all the evidence.

00:28:05.000 Here's Tulsi Gabbard with more details.

00:28:08.000 It's a very different story, however, if you use a burn bag to try to get rid of evidence of which maybe there is only one copy of, and then hide it in a secret room in the FBI.

00:28:21.000 That is a tactic, obviously, that has been used by those deep staters, these bad actors within the intelligence community to try to get rid of evidence.

00:28:28.000 Another tactic that's often used is over-classifying information.

00:28:34.000 This is what happened with the Steele dossier.

00:28:37.000 This was already widely publicized as a discredited document.

00:28:41.000 But what John Brennan did and James Clapper did as the CIA director and Obama's director of national intelligence, they didn't want anybody to know that they used the Steele dossier as a source for this intelligence assessment that was filled with falsehoods they published in January of 2017, as well as other really, really shoddy intelligence sources that would not be acceptable to be used on any topic because they were not deemed credible.

00:29:11.000 They wanted to hide all of this from members of Congress, perhaps who were reading this and the American people and President Trump, then President-elect Trump at that time.

00:29:21.000 And so they overclassified it in a way that there were less than 10 people who could access it.

00:29:28.000 And then they locked up the only hard copy documents.

00:29:32.000 This document did not exist on digits, the document that actually exposed.

00:29:38.000 This was the document that we released.

00:29:40.000 They locked that document up and the five copies that existed in a safe.

00:29:46.000 And the first time it had been seen, certainly in public, but even by many within the government, was when we released it about a week ago.

00:29:58.000 And yet people like Comey and Brennan still have the audacity, they're still out there to lecture us about norms.

00:30:08.000 They did a lot of norms, guys.

00:30:10.000 Everything's norms and this is the way it's done.

00:30:12.000 It's not how it's done, okay?

00:30:13.000 They have rules, we have rules, and they ain't the same.

00:30:17.000 They wonder why we call it the deep state, because they are literally caught red-handed hiding documents, exposing their corruption, their deceit, their outright lies.

00:30:27.000 And as Devin Nunes also explained, all of this information we're now seeing for the first time was never given to Congress.

00:30:36.000 They asked for it.

00:30:38.000 It was supposed to be, but it was hidden from them.

00:30:41.000 Other than bits and pieces to have Democrats selectively leak lie after lie, they hid it all.

00:30:48.000 Take a look.

00:30:50.000 Is back with us.

00:30:51.000 And, Devin, you made several criminal referrals to the DOJ.

00:30:56.000 Talk to us about specific crimes that this cabal committed.

00:31:01.000 Well, the easiest ones are lying to Congress and omitting information from Congress, which the most recent one was put out by Director Gabbard recently in this PDB, Presidential Daily Brief.

00:31:14.000 None of that information was ever given to Congress.

00:31:17.000 It's kind of critical information that was missed, right?

00:31:20.000 That would have been critically important for our report.

00:31:24.000 In addition to that, John Ratcliffe talked about conspiracy.

00:31:27.000 And conspiracy, there is no statute of limitations.

00:31:31.000 And like I was saying in the last segment, I think people need to remember that all of these hoaxes that happened were done by the same people in many cases, and one led to the other.

00:31:44.000 So you had Hillary starts the collusion hoax. 1.00

00:31:48.000 Obama continues the collusion hoax.

00:31:51.000 Moeller continues the collusion hoax.

00:31:53.000 I mean, Moeller and that team of witch hunters should also be looked at everything that they did. 0.85

00:31:58.000 Then when Moeller completely flames out, why?

00:32:01.000 Because there was no intelligence that tied Trump to Russia, then what happens?

00:32:05.000 We get this fake whistleblower from inside the agencies that says that Trump's doing something weird with Ukraine, and so you end up with that.

00:32:15.000 And then you get to the Hunter Biden laptop, and then you get to the raid at Mar-a-Lago.

00:32:20.000 All of that is happening with basically the same two dozen people and media operatives that are all involved in perpetuating these hoaxes.

00:32:31.000 But the problem is you cannot destroy evidence.

00:32:37.000 You cannot hide evidence from Congress.

00:32:39.000 We had multiple subpoenas that went out there.

00:32:42.000 I'd be surprised to see if there was any information hid from John Durham.

00:32:47.000 I think Durham and his team could play a role in maybe helping out this new strike force that's put together because there's probably a lot that was hidden from them.

00:32:57.000 So there's plenty of conspiring going on.

00:33:00.000 Multiple laws, in my opinion, were broke.

00:33:04.000 The question will be: can you build a case strong enough that a jury would convict some of these people?

00:33:12.000 That's really going to be the key.

00:33:14.000 No statute of limitation on conspiracy.

00:33:17.000 10 years of lies, attacks to stop Donald Trump.

00:33:22.000 We're going to take a short break, and then I've got one final question for you, Devin Nunes.

00:33:26.000 You're a hero.

00:33:28.000 So given all that we know now, without a shadow of a doubt, I want to play this flashback from John Brennan on CNN in 2020 after a disclosure made by former DNI, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, where Brennan actually confirms that he briefed Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and James Comey on the phony Russia collusion hoax.

00:33:56.000 A piece of advice to Brennan.

00:33:59.000 Lawyer up.

00:34:00.000 Check this out.

00:34:02.000 What can you tell us about these notes that you wrote about this Russian intelligence?

00:34:07.000 And what do you make of DNI Ratcliffe releasing them right now?

00:34:11.000 Well, John Ratcliffe is anything but an intelligence professional.

00:34:15.000 It is appalling, his selective declassification of information that clearly is designed to advance the political interests of Donald Trump and Republicans who are aligned with him.

00:34:27.000 But these were my notes from the 2016 period when I briefed President Obama and the rest of the National Security Council team about what the Russians were up to.

00:34:36.000 And I was giving examples of the type of access that the U.S. intelligence community had to Russian information and what the Russians were talking about and alleging.

00:34:47.000 Now, if in fact what the Russians were alleging, that Hillary was trying to highlight the reported connections between Trump and the Russians, if in fact that was accurate, and that's a big if, there is nothing at all illegal about that.

00:35:01.000 And so John Ratcliffe and others are trying to portray this as potentially unlawful activity that deserved follow-up investigation by the FBI.

00:35:10.000 No, it was a campaign activity.

00:35:12.000 But again, I was giving examples to the president and others of the types of access we had.

00:35:17.000 And I was blind to whether it referred to one candidate or the other.

00:35:21.000 I was blind to whether it referred to one party or the other.

00:35:23.000 And what I might also point out, I know that John Ratcliffe released a memo that was sent over to the FBI.

00:35:30.000 It's called a CIOL, which is a counterintelligence operational lead, which was again a very selective release and declassification.

00:35:38.000 There are a lot of other CIOLs that talk about the contacts that were taking place between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russians.

00:35:48.000 So he might want to think about trying to balance some of these releases by providing information to the American public about what the intelligence community had unearthed during this period of time about Russia's interactions with those involved in the Trump campaign.

00:36:06.000 So if the election's contacted.

00:36:08.000 Remember, guys, we learned a couple of weeks ago that in December 2016, intelligence officials prepared an assessment that found that Russia did not have the capacity or the capability to try to affect the outcome of the election.

00:36:23.000 The document reads that the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was, quote, probably not trying to influence the election by using cyber means.

00:36:33.000 And of course, there was no collusion.

00:36:36.000 However, guys, this assessment was withdrawn based on new guidance.

00:36:43.000 I wonder what that new guidance could have been.

00:36:45.000 Maybe we just want to change the narrative.

00:36:46.000 We want to try to hurt Trump.

00:36:48.000 We assumed Hillary was going to win. 1.00

00:36:50.000 That was a shoe-in and a no-brainer because it was her turn.

00:36:54.000 But so it was recalled based on new guidance, new guidance.

00:36:58.000 Like, we're just going to lie to the American public.

00:37:00.000 Because the very next day, intelligence officials, including Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, all met at the White House where Obama directed them to reach different conclusions about Russia.

00:37:12.000 So we have the evidence.

00:37:13.000 We have all the analytics.

00:37:15.000 We have the data, but we don't like the outcome.

00:37:17.000 So we're going to come to a different conclusion.

00:37:20.000 So Brennan is now in the crosshairs of not just lies, but outright criminality, as is Obama and others.

00:37:29.000 And what about the regime media, guys?

00:37:31.000 They endlessly covered a completely fake story for years.

00:37:36.000 But since the latest document drops, they've been almost completely silent.

00:37:41.000 It's like, huh, if we don't cover it, maybe it didn't happen.

00:37:46.000 We've played you all the media montages, showing you their fake nonsense day after day.

00:37:53.000 And according to newsbusters, the three major broadcasts, nightly newscasts, has spent a grand total of two minutes total in the last few weeks talking about the new Russia hoax revelations and the declassification.

00:38:08.000 Two minutes.

00:38:10.000 Okay.

00:38:11.000 They spent thousands of hours talking about Russia collusion.

00:38:16.000 Probably tens of thousands of hours.

00:38:18.000 It's all they talked about for like three years.

00:38:20.000 They were still talking about it years after it was disproven.

00:38:23.000 Guys, this is why we fight.

00:38:27.000 This is why we can never, ever give up.

00:38:31.000 They tried to silence us.

00:38:32.000 They tried to cancel us.

00:38:34.000 They tried to shut us down.

00:38:36.000 They even tried and in many cases did jail us.

00:38:40.000 But we are still here and we just keep on winning.

00:38:44.000 Again, it's why I ask you to like, to share, to subscribe, send this stuff around, because you're not going to get it from conventional sources.

00:38:54.000 And this sort of censorship and corruption isn't just here at home.

00:38:58.000 For example, yesterday, the Treasury and State Department slapped sanctions on a Brazilian Supreme Court justice overseeing the trial of former President Yair Bolsonaro over legal schemes to authorize arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppressing freedom of expression.

00:39:15.000 We've seen what they've been doing over there.

00:39:17.000 We saw what they did to Rumble.

00:39:19.000 We saw what they tried to do to X. We saw all of these things, okay?

00:39:23.000 Very one-sided.

00:39:25.000 And as Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie wrote, quote, the sanctions against Justice Morales today make it clear that President Trump takes the censorship and persecution complex in Brazil, of which De Morales was the chief architect with the utmost seriousness.

00:39:42.000 Those complicit in Demorales' human rights violations should take notice.

00:39:48.000 And Eduardo Bolsonaro, friend of mine, friend of the show, congressman over there, he's been on this show many times, added, for the first time, the architect of censorship, political repression, and judicial persecution in Brazil is facing real consequences, joining the infamous ranks of sanctioned human rights abusers around the world, such as dictator Nicolas Maduro.

00:40:14.000 It's not wrong. 0.84

00:40:15.000 They are telling Bolsonaro he can't speak.

00:40:18.000 They're telling his sons they can't speak.

00:40:20.000 They're telling them they can't even speak to each other.

00:40:23.000 It's absolute insanity.

00:40:26.000 And it's not just in Brazil, guys.

00:40:28.000 Next door in Colombia, left-wing President Gustavo Petro and corrupt courts are now trying to jail one of their top political opponents, former President Alvaro Uribe.

00:40:40.000 Earlier this week, Uribe was convicted on baseless charges of bribery and wiretapping.

00:40:45.000 What's remarkable is there isn't actually any evidence of this other than two former generals alleging that it happened.

00:40:53.000 So there's no tape.

00:40:54.000 There's none of this.

00:40:55.000 Just a couple of stooges working for the other side that say, oh, yeah, that definitely happened.

00:41:00.000 That should be enough.

00:41:02.000 But the judge doesn't care, guys.

00:41:04.000 It's just like the lawfare we saw against my father.

00:41:08.000 It doesn't matter what the facts are.

00:41:10.000 They want to jail their political opponents.

00:41:13.000 It's disgraceful.

00:41:15.000 But the good news is the era of weak appeasement is over.

00:41:20.000 We're actually inflicting consequences against rogue regimes and nations who wish us harm.

00:41:27.000 Also, last week, the State Department and Treasury sanctioned the cartel de las Solas, thought to be the largest cartel in the world, led by Maduro in Venezuela and responsible for sending Trendelaragua to America for drug trafficking and a countless number of deaths and destruction.

00:41:48.000 And shockingly, this is the first time they've been sanctioned.

00:41:52.000 I mean, think about that.

00:41:53.000 One of the largest cartels, if not the largest cartel in the world.

00:41:56.000 They've never been sanctioned before.

00:41:57.000 It's like, ah, well, you know, they're just doing their job.

00:41:59.000 You know, they got a business.

00:42:00.000 We may not love it, but it's okay. 0.95

00:42:03.000 What a clown show we went through for the last four years before Trump.

00:42:06.000 But this is a historic move to actually confront these criminal syndicates head on. 0.81

00:42:12.000 My point is, business as usual is over.

00:42:16.000 Why?

00:42:17.000 Because business as usual did not work.

00:42:20.000 It gave us terrible outcomes.

00:42:22.000 It gave us terrible trade deals.

00:42:24.000 Countries ripping us off.

00:42:26.000 Evil regimes exporting terror and crime.

00:42:29.000 Higher costs, lower wages, while the swamp cashed in.

00:42:34.000 But guys, that is all over now.

00:42:38.000 The U.S. government under my father's leadership is finally taking action against these abuses on a world stage.

00:42:45.000 They're making it clear that America will use all its might to protect Americans from those who wish to destroy the values that make this nation great.

00:42:55.000 And in many cases, it's happening from within.

00:42:58.000 Just look at what we've been seeing from the so-called leadership in Cincinnati, Ohio.

00:43:06.000 By now, you've probably seen the video of a mob attack last week, leaving several people seriously injured.

00:43:13.000 It's disgusting and it's disturbing.

00:43:16.000 But what's equally as disgusting is the response from the police chief, because apparently she thinks the true victim is actually the violent mob.

00:43:27.000 Check this out.

00:43:31.000 Another topic I want to cover real quick.

00:43:36.000 Social media and journalism and the role it plays in this incident.

00:43:41.000 And yes, guys, that's you.

00:43:44.000 That is you.

00:43:47.000 Social media, the post that we've seen, does not depict the entire incident.

00:43:54.000 That is one version of what occurred.

00:44:00.000 At times, social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event.

00:44:15.000 What that does, that causes us some difficulties in thoroughly investigating the activity and enforcing the law.

00:44:25.000 Because what happens, that social media post and your coverage of it distorts the content of what actually happened.

00:44:36.000 And it makes our job more difficult.

00:44:39.000 Go ahead, right here.

00:44:40.000 Thank you.

00:44:40.000 Two questions.

00:44:41.000 Where were the nearest officers?

00:44:43.000 In the central business section, they were working.

00:44:46.000 They were both in vehicles.

00:44:48.000 And like I said, they had to maneuver through the traffic.

00:44:50.000 Second question is, you had said social media and news media distorted the content of what actually happened.

00:44:55.000 What exactly was distorted?

00:44:56.000 I understand that there was one, you know, multiple views of the video, but exactly what led up to this.

00:45:03.000 I mean, what was distorted?

00:45:04.000 Yeah, so I think by the irresponsibility with social media is it just shows one side of the equation quite frequently without context, without factual context.

00:45:20.000 And then people run with that.

00:45:23.000 And then it grows legs and it becomes something bigger that we then have to try to manage As part of the investigation. 0.99

00:45:33.000 Now, in response, I posted on X, maybe one of the reasons there's so much crime and violence in the streets of Cincinnati is because they have this absolute moron as their police chief. 0.99

00:45:44.000 I'd say that's probably a safe bet, guys. 0.99

00:45:47.000 And this is just one example.

00:45:50.000 Another example, a deranged gunman killed multiple people in New York earlier this week in a Park Avenue office building.

00:45:57.000 This is blocks from where I basically grew up.

00:46:00.000 And as the story was unfolding, CNN speculated that, quote, he is a male, possibly white.

00:46:09.000 Spoiler alert, guys, he wasn't.

00:46:13.000 But here's how CNN covered it.

00:46:16.000 And do you know, John, at this point, when he came in, the way you described him walking across the plaza all in black, but with a long gun visible.

00:46:27.000 So it sounded like he, other than the long gun, which is not a simple thing to say, other than, in New York City, right?

00:46:33.000 People don't walk around with guns like that.

00:46:35.000 But was his face visible?

00:46:37.000 I mean, do they have any idea at this point who he is?

00:46:44.000 They do not know who he is.

00:46:46.000 They know he is a male, possibly white.

00:46:52.000 He's wearing sunglasses.

00:46:53.000 He appears to have a mustache.

00:46:55.000 And that picture has been distributed to every police officer in New York City, particularly has been sent to the phones of the search teams inside that building.

00:47:07.000 Because whenever they encounter a group of people, the first thing they have to figure out is: is that individual among these people hiding among victims or pretending to be an office worker?

00:47:17.000 Because one thing you don't want to have happen is to have this kind of cordon where you're trying to evacuate people in groups as you can get them to a safe corridor and have this person slip out with them.

00:47:28.000 So, yes, they have the picture and they have distributed to everybody on the scene.

00:47:34.000 I mean, what is wrong with these people?

00:47:37.000 They're not even trying to get the story right.

00:47:40.000 In fact, it's just the opposite.

00:47:42.000 They spew outright lies to avoid getting to the truth.

00:47:47.000 The second they get the truth and it's not conducive to their narrative, they just stop covering it.

00:47:52.000 Same playbook over and over again, guys.

00:47:55.000 We've seen it for years now.

00:47:58.000 But what's the Democrats' response been?

00:48:00.000 To use these murders to push for a nationwide assault weapons ban.

00:48:06.000 Here's communist New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mandani in his own words.

00:48:12.000 And as New Yorkers across the five boroughs and Americans across the country mourn this mass shooting, we are reminded that no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation.

00:48:33.000 And so in this moment, the onus is on all of us to follow the words of Alan's brother and to put forward a vision of stronger gun laws.

00:48:46.000 And I echo the call from Governor Hochul for a nationwide ban on assault rifles.

00:48:54.000 The guy wants to defund the police also doesn't want law-abiding citizens to be able to defend themselves.

00:49:01.000 And this guy is the frontrunner to be the next mayor of New York City.

00:49:06.000 Again, it's why everything the Trump administration is doing means so much at this moment.

00:49:12.000 We are the last line of defense against a completely destructive leftist agenda at home and abroad.

00:49:20.000 It's why we must send a powerful message to anyone anywhere who thinks they can silence political opposition or censor information.

00:49:29.000 Because otherwise, you end up with losing one right, one freedom after another.

00:49:36.000 Free speech, the right to bear arms, due process, and so on and so forth.

00:49:42.000 All of them, they will be gone if the Democrats get their way.

00:49:46.000 So whether you're talking about trade deals or the deep state switch hunts or the battle for free speech against authoritarian judges, one thing is clear.

00:49:55.000 We are living in truly pivotal times.

00:49:58.000 The stakes could not be higher.

00:50:02.000 But the good news is the American spirit is alive.

00:50:06.000 It is well.

00:50:07.000 People are waking up.

00:50:09.000 They're seeing through the lives.

00:50:10.000 They're demanding accountability.

00:50:13.000 And that's why we do this podcast.

00:50:17.000 That's why you tune in, because we're not going to let them control the narrative.

00:50:22.000 We're not going to let them hide the truth.

00:50:25.000 We're going to keep fighting, keep exposing, keep speaking truth to power, because that's what patriots do.

00:50:32.000 That's what Americans do.

00:50:34.000 We don't back down.

00:50:35.000 We stand tall and we will never, ever give up the fight for freedom.

00:50:41.000 And guys, last but not least, apparently, hot chicks are back. 0.98

00:50:46.000 Have you guys watched the controversy about Sidney Sweeney, the rather good-looking actress who did an American Eagle ad in jeans?

00:50:54.000 They tried saying it's Nazi propaganda because she's saying jeans, J-E-A-N-S instead of G-E-N-E-S.

00:51:01.000 It's wild.

00:51:02.000 But think about it. 0.95

00:51:04.000 Fat and ugly liberal people all over America are outraged because people actually like good-looking people again. 0.95

00:51:12.000 I mean, I don't know that that's ever changed. 0.99

00:51:15.000 I don't think I ever stopped liking good-looking people, but they are going nuts.

00:51:20.000 You have to see some of these things.

00:51:21.000 You also, you also have to check out some of these memes.

00:51:25.000 You know, Trump in the Sidney Sweeney outfit, Autism Capital, a funny account on X did a thing about me because I was walking off the plane on Air Force One coming back from Scotland.

00:51:36.000 And, you know, listen, I'm a rather, you know, largely endowed for a man.

00:51:41.000 I just have a big chest.

00:51:42.000 And as you can see, for a big-chested guy, it's not a lot of fat.

00:51:46.000 Okay, I don't know that I have bamboobs.

00:51:48.000 There are guys that have bamboobs. 0.98

00:51:49.000 I don't think I'm one of them, but I do have a large chest.

00:51:52.000 They went after me in good fun.

00:51:54.000 So I had some fun with it back over on Instagram.

00:51:56.000 So check that out.

00:51:57.000 But you have to see the outrage, the insanity.

00:52:02.000 But again, guys, the fact that they're going nuts about a good-looking woman modeling clothes is sort of amazing. 0.99

00:52:11.000 When you compare that to a few years ago, where you'd put a 400-pound person in lingerie and try to tell people it's supposed to be super sexy, and if you're not attracted to it, you're a racist or a misogynist or whatever the hell you're one of the isss. 0.99

00:52:26.000 You're one of those things. 0.99

00:52:28.000 We are back.

00:52:29.000 The world is healing.

00:52:31.000 Good-looking people are acceptable again.

00:52:33.000 They're not going to throw them in the gulags, at least not yet.

00:52:36.000 Not yet.

00:52:36.000 I guess if the Democrats get their way, they may do it.

00:52:40.000 But it's been wild.

00:52:42.000 Check out some of these memes.

00:52:43.000 I'm going to try to check out some of these clips also because it's pretty amazing watching these people talk about it.

00:52:48.000 And then when you see the juxtaposition of, you know, a good-looking woman in a jeans ad, it's like, you know, we're back.

00:52:54.000 This is like the 90s again, where everyone was good-looking if they were modeling.

00:52:57.000 I mean, this sort of nature of a model is that they happen to be attractive and not attractive because, you know, they're overweight and we have to pretend that's healthy and we have to pretend these things.

00:53:07.000 So it was sort of a wild week, but yet another example of how we are back, why we are back, and why this should stay.

00:53:16.000 So keep fighting.

00:53:18.000 Check it out because it's wild.

00:53:20.000 I mean, the fact that they can turn this into a controversy is truly special. 1.00

00:53:25.000 But these people are imbeciles. 1.00

00:53:26.000 So, you know, they'll never let the obvious go. 1.00

00:53:30.000 They'll just, they got to go after it.

00:53:31.000 So I hope they keep doing it because it shows just how insane they actually are. 0.66

00:53:38.000 Because you used the word normal and talked about it in the context of this white woman. 0.77

00:53:42.000 White women are normal, but so are other people. 1.00

00:53:45.000 The problem is, historically, we have only normalized white people.

00:53:49.000 And so we've made white women's, white women's bodies, white male bodies the norm. 1.00

00:53:53.000 And we've made everything else less human, less beautiful, less real.

00:53:57.000 And so when we say good genes are the ones. 0.99

00:53:59.000 That's a load of crap. 0.89

00:54:01.000 Honestly, I'm sorry, Mark. 1.00

00:54:04.000 If I may jump in on my own show, what a load of crap. 0.97

00:54:08.000 I saw Beyonce do a genes ad. 0.99

00:54:10.000 Everybody drooled over it.

00:54:12.000 I loved it.

00:54:12.000 Thought she looked hot when she did.

00:54:15.000 Right?

00:54:15.000 I mean, what are you talking about, man?

00:54:17.000 This is...

00:54:17.000 Let me ask you a straight question.

00:54:21.000 Does Sydney Sweeney, does Swidney, does Sidney Sweeney have bad genes?

00:54:25.000 Yes or no?

00:54:27.000 No.

00:54:28.000 I don't think she has bad genes.

00:54:29.000 Does she have good genes? 0.99

00:54:31.000 Does she have good genes? 0.99

00:54:33.000 No.

00:54:34.000 Again, you're trying for these gotchas if you don't. 0.94

00:54:36.000 So she doesn't have good or bad genes.

00:54:38.000 The whole point is to argue that good and bad genes itself is a bad idea.

00:54:42.000 It's a race.

00:54:43.000 Why can't you have good genes, Mom? 0.99

00:54:45.000 Why is it racist?

00:54:47.000 Why can't we have good genes?

00:54:49.000 All right, I'm going to respond and I'm going to hope that you don't interrupt me as I answer.

00:54:54.000 Okay?

00:54:54.000 Because again, no one else has been interrupted except the people who disagree with you.

00:54:57.000 What I'm saying is the word.

00:55:01.000 Listen, listen, listen.

00:55:02.000 The word eugenics literally means good genes.

00:55:04.000 It literally means that etymologically.

00:55:06.000 The point here is to judge human beings based on their genes and to decide that you have good genes and you have bad genes isn't in and of itself a racist project.

00:55:14.000 That's the point.

00:55:15.000 So no, it's not that I think that I have good genes and you can't say anyone else is good genes.

00:55:18.000 I'm saying let's get rid of the good genes narrative, particularly when it's based on hair and eyes and body type.

00:55:24.000 Why?

00:55:25.000 Because those things are racially coded.
