Transcript

00:06:30.000 Out there, but of course, that's going to be hidden from the actual people.
00:06:33.000 Also, America's favorite artist Hunter Biden is speaking out.
00:06:39.000 And let's just say the language is not suitable for children.
00:06:45.000 But we will play you the, I'd say highlights, but it's really the lowlights from his meltdown.
00:06:51.000 Although, honestly, I'll say there's a couple things in there I actually agree with him on.
00:06:54.000 It's just sort of interesting.
00:06:55.000 But the artist doesn't appear to be working out.
00:07:00.000 It is not something that's panning out.
00:07:02.000 So I guess he's trying alternate routes.
00:07:05.000 And he's ready to bring down the Democrat Party with him.
00:07:09.000 So guys, make sure you are liking, sharing, subscribing so you never miss one of these major episodes.

00:07:47.000 And of course, don't forget about our brave sponsors, people who have the guts to support this program.
00:07:53.000 Because after everything we've been through for the last few years, saying we have trust issues with the so-called health experts is an understatement.
00:08:01.000 They use pressure, lies, red tape to block access to medications that were once easy to get.
00:08:06.000 That cannot happen again.
00:08:07.000 And with all family pharmacy, it won't.
00:08:10.000 All family pharmacy is redefining healthcare.
00:08:12.000 No waiting rooms, no delays, no insurance games, just direct access to over 200 trusted medications, including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, antibiotics, emergency kits, and so much more.

00:08:45.000 And now, let's get into the headlines.
00:08:48.000 First off, guys, let's just begin with more good news for the American people and the Trump economy.
00:08:55.000 And let's separate a little bit of fact from a lot of fiction because core inflation beat market expectations for the fifth straight month, okay?
00:09:06.000 I think today is the six month anniversary, right?
00:09:08.000 Today is the six-month anniversary, basically, of my father's presidency.
00:09:13.000 Well, yesterday, right?
00:09:14.000 January 20th.
00:09:15.000 So today's the 21st, right?
00:09:17.000 Okay, so we're a day off, but six months was yesterday.
00:09:19.000 So we're talking about the record after the full six months, okay?
00:09:23.000 But for the fifth straight month, core inflation beat market expectations every full month since my father has basically taken office.
00:09:32.000 Wholesale prices came in completely flat, and industrial production also beat market expectations.
00:09:39.000 Manufacturing output is surging, and customs and tariff revenue have totaled $120 billion since January 20th.
00:09:49.000 Remember, it was just a couple weeks ago when they talked about $100 billion?
00:09:52.000 Now another $20 billion has come in.
00:09:55.000 Huh?
00:09:56.000 It's working.
00:09:57.000 It's almost like the experts have been full of crap all along.
00:10:00.000 This is fueling the first June budget surplus in nearly a decade.
00:10:05.000 Consumer sentiment also shot up in July and initial claims for unemployment benefits fell also for the fifth straight months.
00:10:15.000 The fact is that this agenda is working and all the fear-mongering over tariffs in particular was just more smoke in mirrors from the regime media and activist Democrats.
00:10:27.000 This is having real-world impact on American producers.
00:10:31.000 Look at this recent story on the tariffs on Mexican tomatoes.
00:10:34.000 That's already having a positive impact on struggling American tomato farmers.
00:10:40.000 Has been a fixture here on Taco Chandler Mountain in St. Clair County for about 60 years.
00:10:45.000 Chad Smith says he's seen a lot of changes over the years and not in a positive direction.
00:10:50.000 Less than 20 years ago, there was over 10 farms here on this mountain.
00:10:54.000 Now there's barely five, probably going to be four within a couple years.
00:10:59.000 And as another 20 years goes by, there's going to be less and less.
00:11:03.000 Blake Faxon with the Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association says the U.S. agreement with Mexico, first set in the late 90s, was meant to protect U.S. farmers, but it wasn't working.
00:11:13.000 There's been loopholes that the Mexican tomato producers have taken advantage of and continue to price dump or lower the prices below the cost of production here in the United States and in Alabama.
00:11:27.000 If they send the tomatoes over and it's supposed to be a set price and they need to move tomatoes, well, they may just give a load of bell pepper for free for them to take the tomatoes.
00:11:36.000 So it's never really worth it.
00:11:38.000 Now without that agreement, the U.S. has a 17% tariff on tomatoes from Mexico.
00:11:43.000 So a lot of these tomatoes will actually be going out today.
00:11:46.000 Smith says he's already seeing a more level playing field.
00:11:49.000 It's only been two days now and we've actually have a lot more calls for people having interest in doing business.
00:11:55.000 And the price hasn't even changed.
00:11:57.000 Food security is national security and we need to be able to produce our own food here in the United States.
00:12:04.000 And it doesn't stop there.
00:12:05.000 A supermarket owner in Massachusetts says that these tariffs are leveling the playing field.
00:12:10.000 Check this out.
00:12:12.000 The community and us.
00:12:13.000 The word tariff is something many business owners may fear, but that's not the case for Sam Newell, the co-owner of Fruit Fair and Chickapea, telling Western Mass News that when President Trump imposed a tariff on Mexican tomatoes after a decades-long agreement, she viewed it as an opportunity to compete with chains like Stop and Shop and ShopRite.
00:12:31.000 So having tariffs on imported goods gives us a more level.
00:12:38.000 Of course, all of this is putting the spotlight on the Federal Reserve Chairman to set common sense monetary policy instead of trying to stand in the way.
00:12:47.000 And the Treasury Secretary went viral over the weekend for how he summed up the situation.
00:12:53.000 Check out Scott Besson here.
00:12:56.000 Joe, I think that what we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful?
00:13:07.000 I'm speaking, actually, I'm going to be in the building this evening.
00:13:12.000 There is a regulatory conference that begins tomorrow.
00:13:16.000 I'm the keynote speaker tonight, talking about regulation.
00:13:24.000 It deals with monetary policy, regulations, financial stability.
00:13:29.000 And again, I think that we should think, has the organization succeeded in its mission?
00:13:38.000 If this were the FAA and we were having this many mistakes, we would go back and look at why has this happened?
00:13:48.000 I mean, look at the, as you said at the top of this broadcast, there was fear-mongering over tariffs, and thus far, we have seen very little, if any, inflation.
00:14:03.000 We've had great inflation numbers.
00:14:06.000 So I think this idea of them not being able to break out of a certain mindset, all these PhDs over there, I don't know what they do.
00:14:15.000 I don't know what they do.
00:14:17.000 This is like universal basic income for academic economists.
00:14:23.000 And by the way, the Federal Reserve recently spent $2.5 billion on a renovation to their building.
00:14:31.000 What exactly did they spend it on?
00:14:33.000 I mean, do you know how much $2.5 billion built?
00:14:37.000 Like, I've built the tallest residential building in America for less than a billion dollars, not all that long ago.
00:14:42.000 I mean, that's insane.
00:14:44.000 A renovation, $2.5 billion?
00:14:48.000 Does anyone actually know where that money went?
00:14:50.000 Because the White House is now calling for a full investigation.
00:14:56.000 My role in the National Capital Planning Commission is basically to advance the federal government's interest in the development here in our nation's capital.
00:15:04.000 This body went through a process back leading up to 2021, as the chair has stated, and ultimately the commission approved the plans.
00:15:11.000 But since then, no revisions have been submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission.
00:15:16.000 I posted on my ex-account, as you mentioned, a binder showing all the materials.
00:15:20.000 They've not submitted anything since then.
00:15:22.000 And there's a reason that's important.
00:15:24.000 Chair Powell said in front of the Senate Banking Committee at the end of June that plans have changed.
00:15:29.000 All of these features, the opulent features that have been discussed publicly, he says are no longer there.
00:15:35.000 And all we're saying is, okay, well, that's a knowable fact.
00:15:37.000 That's a provable fact.
00:15:38.000 I would like to see all of the plan revisions since the Commission approved them back in 2021.
00:15:44.000 So that's step one.
00:15:45.000 Step two is we want a site visit.
00:15:46.000 We want to see this thing for ourselves.
00:15:48.000 We've requested that of the Fed.
00:15:50.000 I will tell you, they gave us a sort of ridiculous time of 7 o'clock tonight they wanted to go.
00:15:55.000 They said, you can come on the weekend after hours.
00:15:57.000 We said, no, we're not going to do that.
00:15:59.000 Bring us during the workday.
00:16:00.000 Bring us, let us see what's going on.
00:16:02.000 We want to see what's happening and show us around.
00:16:04.000 And there's no reason that they shouldn't be transparent.
00:16:06.000 I'll say, in the plans they did submit to the Commission back in 2021, they specifically said that the architecture of the building is meant to connect to the transparency and openness with which the organization seeks to operate.
00:16:19.000 So if that is their goal, there's no reason they shouldn't let us in.
00:16:23.000 They should show us all of the revisions, and they should just let us see what's going on and whether or not what the chair said in front of the Senate Banking Committee.
00:16:30.000 But it's not just on the economy.
00:16:33.000 Even the hacks over at ABC are admitting what is obvious, that my father is doing exactly what he said he would do on the southern border.
00:16:41.000 Where there is little question that Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise.
00:16:49.000 All illegal entry will immediately be halted.
00:16:53.000 In a matter of months, migrant crossings have hit record lows.
00:16:57.000 Apprehensions at the southern border dropped to 6,072 in the month of June, a massive reduction from the 83,532 apprehensions recorded in June of last year.
00:17:11.000 Over 25 miles of Concertina Wire, our U.S. Marines put up for us.
00:17:15.000 Acting Patrol Chief Jeffrey Stollnacher tells us the San Diego enforcement.
00:17:24.000 We're also passing legislation like the Lake and Riley Act, the HALT-Fennel Act, the One Big Beautiful Bill, and much, much more.
00:17:33.000 And beyond the legislation, we are still uncovering more and more corruption from inside the swamp that has been trying to undermine the will of the people for far too long.
00:17:42.000 Because on Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unveiled massive findings showing the inner workings of the Obama cabal and how they orchestrated the Russia hoax based on nothing but a mountain of lies.
00:17:57.000 We hear the word bombshell a lot in the media.
00:18:00.000 You know, every time they, the walls are closing in, bombshell.
00:18:04.000 They've used it on me a couple of times.
00:18:05.000 All turned out to be garbage, but you know, it doesn't matter.
00:18:07.000 It doesn't stop them from doing.
00:18:08.000 This one, this one is actually a bombshell.
00:18:12.000 Check out Tulsi.
00:18:14.000 Leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community agreed that there was no intelligence that reflected that Russia was trying to hack the election in favor of either candidate.
00:18:29.000 The evidence showed, the intelligence showed that, again, Russia did not have either the intent nor the capability to be able to impact the outcome of the United States election.
00:18:41.000 So it was very striking when we look back again at the documents that I declassified and released that shows there was a shift in early December, the first week of December.
00:18:53.000 Again, another document was produced by the intelligence media, a president's daily brief, that was consistent with every other assessment that was done previously leading up to the election.
00:19:02.000 Russia was not, did not, this is after the election now, did not attempt to affect the outcome of the American election.
00:19:13.000 That was never published.
00:19:15.000 Hours before it would have gone into President Obama's president's daily brief, it was pulled by a senior level intelligence official saying that they had to pull it because they had received new guidance.
00:19:28.000 The very next day, this meeting Was called a National Security Council meeting, bringing together all of the senior leaders of President Obama's cabinet, and the topic that was put forward was a sensitive matter.
00:19:41.000 The tasks that came out of that meeting was coming from President Obama directing the intelligence community, then Obama's ODNI director Clapper, to produce a document, to produce an intelligence assessment that detailed not if, but how Moscow affected the outcome of the election that had already occurred, electing Donald Trump to the presidency.
00:20:07.000 This document that they published in January of 2017 was the foundational groundwork that they continued to reference over and over and over again to enact this years-long coup against President Trump.
00:20:22.000 Over 100 documents released on Friday provide the most incriminating evidence yet of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by Obama just weeks after he left office and he was due to move on with his life.
00:20:37.000 Apparently, he wasn't done controlling things.
00:20:40.000 The documents show that the entire Russian election meddling narrative was manufactured in the infamous ICA, which was directly tied to the dirty steel dossier.
00:20:51.000 The phony assessment from Brennan, Clapper, and Comey contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election.
00:21:01.000 And the documents also show that in the final days of his presidency, Obama pushed his intelligence officials to exaggerate and lie about the evidence for Russian interference to launch a years-long Russia hoax witch hunt, which sought to take down my father, our family, the campaign, the transition, and the administration and its officials.
00:21:22.000 It was all a giant lie.
00:21:25.000 So to get into the details of the timeline, in December 2016, intelligence officials prepared an assessment that found that Russia did not have the capability or even try to affect the outcome of the election.
00:21:37.000 The document reads that the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was, quote, probably not trying to influence the election by using cyber means.
00:21:47.000 And of course, there was no collusion.
00:21:51.000 However, this assessment was withdrawn, quote, based on new guidance.
00:21:57.000 Guidance.
00:21:58.000 You know, this is what we believe.
00:22:00.000 This is the information we have, but you know, we have other guidance, so we got to go a different way, right?
00:22:04.000 Huh.
00:22:05.000 Shot.
00:22:06.000 I wonder why.
00:22:07.000 As it turns out, the day after that original assessment, intelligence officials, including Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, all met at the White House, where Obama directed them to reach different conclusions about Russia.
00:22:21.000 Translation, he told them to put out false intelligence and launch the Russia collusion hoax.
00:22:27.000 And today, the Justice Department confirmed that it had received Gabbard's criminal referrals, although the department has not yet said the exact nature and scope of that referral.
00:22:40.000 But it is clear that this investigation should squarely be on Obama and the Obama White House.
00:22:47.000 As far as specific crimes, that could include conspiracy to defraud the government, deprivation of rights under the color law, lying to Congress, and so much more.
00:23:01.000 Remember when they like to talk about insurrection?
00:23:04.000 Sort of sounds like that to me, doesn't it, folks?
00:23:06.000 I mean, I know we heard that a lot.
00:23:08.000 We heard that a lot over the last few years, but this one actually sounds like that's exactly what they tried to do.
00:23:15.000 And honestly, for as much as the deep state and the left-wing lunatics accuse me of treason based on nothing, what they did definitely looks closer to treason and looks like one giant grand conspiracy.
00:23:29.000 And remember, guys, if there is an actual grand conspiracy case, that would have significant legal implications because it could encompass acts that were intended to corrupt three presidential elections, 2016, 2020, and 2024, not just 2016.
00:23:49.000 It would then extend any expired statute of limitations to the date of the most recent overt acts, such as the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
00:23:58.000 Also, it would allow prosecutions to be brought in a venue other than Washington, D.C., where we all know what the jury pool looks like.
00:24:08.000 And this isn't just a Democrat scandal.
00:24:11.000 It's also a media scandal.
00:24:13.000 For literally years and years, the media spewed nonsense about collusion, lies about the Steele dossier, and endless testimony hearings.
00:24:23.000 And witch hunts?
00:24:25.000 Well, here's a quick trip down memory lane.
00:24:28.000 Check this one out.
00:24:29.000 I'm sure you'll remember these files.
00:24:30.000 Understand just how much trouble the president is in.
00:24:33.000 To believe that the president isn't compromised requires such a leap of faith.
00:24:38.000 I think we have all the proof we need of a scandal that's arguably worse than Watergate.
00:24:43.000 The U.S. president possibly working for the Russians.
00:24:46.000 Possibly an unwitting pawn.
00:24:48.000 Here's what the president said when asked if he was a secret Russian agent.
00:24:52.000 The president did not directly answer the question.
00:24:55.000 Why not just say no if that's the answer?
00:24:57.000 There is tons of proof of potential collusion.
00:25:00.000 We have dramatic evidence of collusion.
00:25:03.000 How is it not collusion?
00:25:05.000 How is all of that not collusion?
00:25:06.000 A political hurricane is out there at sea for him.
00:25:09.000 We'll call it Hurricane Vladimir, if you will.
00:25:11.000 Donald Trump knows the noose is tightening.
00:25:14.000 The noose is tightening.
00:25:15.000 The noose is tightening, if you will.
00:25:17.000 The noose is tightening around the president.
00:25:19.000 And I think they're shocked that the noose is tightening.
00:25:19.000 The noose is tightening.
00:25:22.000 And that people might go to jail.
00:25:24.000 He knows he and POTUS are going to prison.
00:25:26.000 Well, I think they're all going to end up together in prison.
00:25:28.000 And maybe that's a good question.
00:25:29.000 Oh, my God.
00:25:31.000 The walls appear to be closing in on the president.
00:25:33.000 The investigative walls are closing in.
00:25:37.000 He feels the walls closing in.
00:25:38.000 The walls are closing in.
00:25:40.000 Trump resigns, quote, once Mueller closes in on him and the family.
00:25:45.000 Anybody that writes an op-ed and suggests that Donald Trump has not put himself directly in the target of an obstruction charge is just fooling themselves and some very, very stupid, ill-informed readers.
00:26:00.000 They are the kind of offenses that would call for impeachment hearings.
00:26:05.000 If someone walked in my office and said I was a subject of a multi-year criminal investigation led by former FBI Director Robert Moer, I'd wet my pants.
00:26:14.000 Moer reminds me of the starfish, which gets itself tightly around the clam and uses all its stuff to weaken and pry open the clam.
00:26:21.000 Now, this is a battle to the death as far as the clam is concerned.
00:26:24.000 If the starfish is able to open him even a little bit, he can get him open all the way.
00:26:28.000 And that's it, of course, for the clam.
00:26:30.000 He's the starfish's lunch.
00:26:36.000 But the biggest liar of them all, pencil neck, shifty Adam Schiff, many have also referred to him as full of shif and bullshiff, but he was the one that also did probably the worst of this.
00:26:49.000 He was probably told and has probably told more lies and fueled more hoaxes than anyone you could ever imagine.
00:26:57.000 The Russia hoax, the impeachment hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation hoax, all of the lawfare, all of the corruption, all of the abuse of power.
00:27:07.000 Schiff is at the center of it all.
00:27:10.000 Here's another little flashback in case you needed a refresher.
00:27:14.000 The Russians offered help, which we know they did.
00:27:16.000 The campaign accepted help, which we know they did.
00:27:18.000 The Russians then delivered help, which we know they did.
00:27:20.000 There is circumstantial evidence of collusion.
00:27:23.000 The case is more than that.
00:27:25.000 And I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now.
00:27:30.000 You've said on more than one occasion that you've seen ample evidence of the Trump campaign's Russia collusion.
00:27:36.000 Last March, you said you had more than circumstantial evidence of treasonous collusion with Russia.
00:27:41.000 I've certainly said that there's ample evidence of collusion.
00:27:45.000 Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion coordination or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the Trump campaign and Russia?
00:27:54.000 No, I don't agree with that at all.
00:27:56.000 I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy.
00:27:59.000 But we do know this.
00:28:00.000 The Russians offered help.
00:28:02.000 The campaign accepted help.
00:28:04.000 The Russians gave help, and the president made full use of that help.
00:28:08.000 And that is pretty damning reviewing the evidence that in a Truth Social post over the weekend, my father posted evidence of Schiff appearing to falsify loan documents, saying that Schiff was in big trouble and should pay the price of prison.
00:28:27.000 It appears that Schiff illegally declared a house he owned in Maryland as his primary residence to get a lower mortgage rate.
00:28:34.000 Maryland is not his primary residence.
00:28:37.000 It's California.
00:28:38.000 And who wants to bet that Schiff also declared California as his primary residence to get a better mortgage rate there?
00:28:46.000 Like I always say, guys, Democrats do to themselves what they accuse everyone else of doing.
00:28:53.000 That's what they're doing, right?
00:28:54.000 It's classic.
00:28:55.000 It's textbook.
00:28:56.000 It's Sololinsky.
00:28:57.000 Accuse others of the things that you're doing and then they won't look at you.
00:28:57.000 Rules for Radicals.
00:29:00.000 They accuse everyone else of breaking the rules, of spewing disinformation, of breaking norms.
00:29:08.000 But they constantly do it themselves.
00:29:10.000 And it's time for Shifty Shift to face the music.
00:29:15.000 And one guy who knows a thing or two about breaking norms is Hunter Biden.
00:29:20.000 And now Hunter has put the paintbrush down and is doing bizarre interviews.
00:29:26.000 And each clip just keeps getting better.
00:29:29.000 First up, here is Hunter saying his father had a bad debate because he was apparently hopped up on Ambien.
00:29:39.000 I know exactly what happened in that debate.
00:29:41.000 He flew around the world basically in the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times.
00:29:46.000 He's 81 years old.
00:29:47.000 He's tired as shit.
00:29:49.000 Give him Ambien to be able to sleep.
00:29:51.000 He gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headline.
00:29:55.000 Guys, I don't know about you.
00:29:56.000 I've taken Ambien before.
00:29:58.000 I travel all over the world myself.
00:30:00.000 It definitely can help you go to sleep a little bit faster.
00:30:04.000 It's a sleep medication.
00:30:05.000 Who in their right mind would take it before a debate?
00:30:09.000 Okay, it doesn't have that kind of lasting effect that you took it the day before and you can't speak at an entire debate.
00:30:15.000 If you're not smart enough to not take it for a debate, that's probably all the evidence that we need of Joe Biden and the lack of mental faculties that we've been talking about for years.
00:30:26.000 I think Joe had a lot more problems than Ambien.
00:30:29.000 But then again, maybe we should actually defer to the expert, Hunter, when it comes to illicit drugs.
00:30:37.000 But Hunter didn't just attack Republicans.
00:30:41.000 He has an extra grind with the entire Democrat Party, specifically Nancy Pelosi, for pushing his dad out of the race.
00:30:52.000 Fuck him.
00:30:54.000 Fuck him.
00:30:55.000 Fuck him and everybody around him.
00:30:57.000 I don't have to be fucking nice.
00:30:59.000 Number one, I agree with Quentin Tarantino.
00:31:01.000 Fucking George Clooney is not a fucking actor.
00:31:03.000 He is a fucking like, I don't know what he is.
00:31:07.000 He's a brand.
00:31:08.000 And by the way, and God bless him.
00:31:10.000 You know what?
00:31:11.000 He supposedly treats his friends really well.
00:31:13.000 You know what I mean?
00:31:13.000 Buys them things.
00:31:14.000 And he's got a really great place in Lake Como.
00:31:17.000 And he's great friends with Barack Obama.
00:31:19.000 What do you have to do with fucking anything?
00:31:19.000 Fuck you.
00:31:21.000 Why do I have to fucking listen to you?
00:31:23.000 What right do you have to step on a man who's given 52 years of his fucking life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full-page ad in the fucking New York Times to me and James Carville, who hasn't run a race in 40 fucking years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama.
00:31:44.000 And that was because of Barack Obama, not because of fucking David Axelrod.
00:31:47.000 And David Plough and all of these guys, and the Pod Save America guys, who were junior fucking speechwriters on Barack Obama's Senate staff, who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars.
00:32:01.000 The Anita Dunns of the world, who's made $40, $50 million off of the Democratic Party, they're all going to insert their judgment over a man who has figured out, unlike anybody else, how to get elected to the United States Senate over seven times, how to pass more legislation than any president in history, how to have a better midterm election than anybody in history, and how to garner more votes than any president that has ever won.
00:32:25.000 And they're going to replace their judgment for his.
00:32:28.000 Not to mention.
00:32:29.000 Who's Jake Tapper's audience, Jake Tapper, my mom or something.
00:32:32.000 I don't know.
00:32:33.000 For real, though.
00:32:33.000 Well, I don't know.
00:32:34.000 I don't even think it's your mom anymore.
00:32:37.000 By the numbers, what influence does Jake Tapper have over anything?
00:32:40.000 He has the smallest audience on cable news.
00:32:43.000 And beyond that, I think that the book is right now on Amazon that he put out.
00:32:47.000 I mean, his ratings just went to shit after he put the book out.
00:32:50.000 You know, they did a two-week infomercial for it.
00:32:53.000 I mean, it was such a money grab, such a disservice to everybody that he serves with.
00:33:00.000 So I actually agree with Hunter on a lot of those things.
00:33:03.000 George Clooney, David Axelrod, Jake Tapper, most of those other liberal commentators.
00:33:09.000 I agree with that.
00:33:10.000 And I think it's fair to say that none of them will be buying any of his artwork anytime soon.
00:33:15.000 So again, I apologize for the post-clip viewer discretions, but why don't we check out what he also had to say about Nancy Pelosi?
00:33:24.000 Because this one's another big one.
00:33:28.000 The speaker and Emeritus that would say, well, you know, I'm going to leave it up to, but I don't know.
00:33:35.000 And they had already made a decision.
00:33:39.000 They had clearly made a decision.
00:33:43.000 And when I say they, I mean the speaker.
00:33:46.000 And, you know, I heard Alexander Pelosi say something, call my, my mom, like, put your big girl pants on to my mom or something.
00:33:53.000 And I kind of feel like saying, who the fuck do you think you are?
00:33:56.000 I would never speak about your mom that way.
00:33:58.000 I would never speak about your father that way.
00:34:00.000 I would never insult your parents that way.
00:34:03.000 Even to this day, I would never.
00:34:06.000 Again, I kind of agree with Hunter on this one.
00:34:09.000 Didn't think I'd have that on my show anytime soon, but I think he's right.
00:34:14.000 I also appreciate sort of the fight for his family.
00:34:16.000 Now, I understand that his, you know, everything about him really stems from the family, so he's going to protect it.
00:34:21.000 But like, I admire that.
00:34:23.000 That's actually important.
00:34:24.000 But these people are melting down because the House of Cards is crumbling.
00:34:30.000 The knives are out inside the Democrat Party.
00:34:33.000 Pelosi and Schumer are at the end of their careers.
00:34:37.000 Jerry Nadler isn't getting any faster with his waddle.
00:34:41.000 Schiff is getting jammed up on alleged mortgage fraud.
00:34:44.000 The Deep State is being exposed.
00:34:46.000 Colbert is canceled.
00:34:48.000 You know, watching the Democrats be outraged about that one.
00:34:51.000 The show loses $40 million a year.
00:34:53.000 He's making $15.
00:34:54.000 And they say, you know what?
00:34:55.000 It doesn't work anymore.
00:34:56.000 We got to cancel it.
00:34:57.000 And they're outraged because they no longer have one of their propagandists on the air.
00:35:01.000 And now, Democrats are basically being led by a couple of communists from New York who want government-run everything and more MS-13 gang members in our country.
00:35:13.000 It's a wild ride, folks.
00:35:15.000 The Democrat rot in our country runs deep.
00:35:19.000 We also learned this week that under the Biden DoD, we actually had government contractors outsourcing some of their work to Chinese labor.
00:35:29.000 The Department of Defense, folks, under Biden, was outsourcing work, classified work probably, to Chinese labor.
00:35:38.000 This is not a joke.
00:35:39.000 Pete Hegseth revealed it over the weekend.
00:35:41.000 Check this out.
00:35:44.000 We were alerted to a potential vulnerability in our DOD computer systems, and we've been checking into it ever since.
00:35:50.000 It turns out that some tech companies have been using cheap Chinese labor to assist with DOD cloud services.
00:35:58.000 This is obviously unacceptable, especially in today's digital threat environment.
00:36:04.000 Now, this was a legacy system created over a decade ago during the Obama administration.
00:36:10.000 But we have to ensure the digital systems that we use here at the Defense Department are ironclad and impenetrable.
00:36:16.000 And that's why today I'm announcing that China will no longer have any involvement whatsoever in our cloud services effective immediately.
00:36:26.000 And at my direction, the Department will also initiate as fast as we can a two-week review or faster to make sure that what we uncovered isn't happening anywhere else across the DOD.
00:36:38.000 We will continue to monitor and counter all threats to our military.
00:36:46.000 It's amazing.
00:36:48.000 I mean, it's amazing.
00:36:49.000 The DOD was outsourcing stuff to China in cloud computing?
00:36:54.000 I mean, again, guys, this isn't just some small little contractor.
00:36:59.000 This is the big boys, like Microsoft, Accenture, and many others.
00:37:04.000 Again, I'll ask, why have we put up with this for so long?
00:37:08.000 How did this even start?
00:37:10.000 Who thought this could have possibly been a good idea?
00:37:13.000 Why are Chinese personnel providing maintenance on Department of Defense computer systems?
00:37:20.000 It is insane.
00:37:22.000 So we have so much to get into with Lee Smith in just a few moments.
00:37:27.000 There's a lot to dig into.
00:37:29.000 But first, guys, remember to protect yourself for the future with the Birch Gold Group.
00:37:33.000 While the Trump administration is moving mountains for the good of the nation, remember that you can do the same for your own family good too.
00:37:40.000 One of the best ways to look after your savings is through diversification, like with gold from my trusted friends at the Birch Gold Group.

00:38:14.000 It's free.
00:38:15.000 What do you have to lose?
00:38:16.000 Again, text Don Jr.
00:38:18.000 D-O-N-J-R, just five letters, to the number 989898.
00:38:25.000 And joining me now, author of The Plot Against the President and the Disappearing President, investigative journalist Lee Smith.
00:38:34.000 Lee, great to have you back, man.
00:38:36.000 How are you?
00:38:36.000 Nice to see you, Don.
00:38:37.000 How are you?
00:38:38.000 I'm doing well.
00:38:40.000 I'm a little frustrated.
00:38:41.000 I mean, I was in the plot against the president.
00:38:45.000 I mean, we knew all of these things for quite some time.
00:38:49.000 I mean, you were the sort of definitive resource on all of that.
00:38:52.000 You wrote the book.
00:38:53.000 I was in the documentary.
00:38:57.000 What did these documents tell us?
00:38:59.000 And how did They stay covered up and hidden for so long, even after the kind of exposure that we'd be able to give it?
00:39:05.000 Well, we have to give DNI a lot of credit for finding them because I know that, you know, spoke to some people over the weekend and they were hidden from when Devin Nunes was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
00:39:16.000 They hid them from them.
00:39:18.000 You know, and Cash was leading, Cash Patel, now FBI director, was lead investigator on that committee.
00:39:24.000 So they hid them from them.
00:39:26.000 I believe that John Radcliffe, when he was DNI at the end of your father's first term, I mean, Radcliffe was declassifying a whole bunch of stuff.
00:39:35.000 So it's pretty clear that these guys, the bad guys, dug stuff pretty deep in there and hit them.
00:39:41.000 And really, a lot of credit goes to DNI right now, Tulsi Gabbard, because they found them.
00:39:48.000 And what have they done?
00:39:49.000 They've shed more light on what we've known all along.
00:39:52.000 And actually, what your father was the first person to point out in a March 2017 tweet when he said, hey, I just found out that Barack Obama had my wires tapped, sick guy.
00:40:04.000 So we've been kind of, a lot of us have been beating around the bush.
00:40:07.000 And people haven't been pointing out the fact, again, that your father underscored more than eight years ago now that Barack Obama was running the show.
00:40:16.000 So again, these recent releases shed a lot of important light on that.
00:40:21.000 Yeah, like all the conspiracy theories, Trump was right about it.
00:40:24.000 I remember the outrage.
00:40:25.000 I saw that tweet.
00:40:26.000 And it's like, you know, in talking to him, even at the time, it was like, you know, he just has a good sense of the world.
00:40:31.000 He understands how things work.
00:40:32.000 He's like, there's no way they could know this without this, right?
00:40:37.000 It's totally implausible.
00:40:39.000 He saw that.
00:40:40.000 Everyone knows, oh my God, he's making it up.
00:40:42.000 Well, now eight years later, he was right again.
00:40:45.000 But Lee, can you give us the timeline?
00:40:49.000 Where does this story start?
00:40:51.000 Well, the story starts.
00:40:53.000 I mean, according to Devon Unis and Cash Patel, it starts sometime toward the end of 2015.
00:41:00.000 What we know happened, what we know in 2016 is that's when they started putting all sorts of stuff in place.
00:41:06.000 That's when the steel dossier started.
00:41:09.000 That's when they started sending this stuff to the FBI.
00:41:12.000 The FBI investigation opens at the end of July.
00:41:16.000 So it's really in the spring and summer that things start heating up.
00:41:20.000 But what we're talking about, what these records show here, the records that were declassified and released on Friday, what they show is after election action.
00:41:30.000 And that's what's really central.
00:41:32.000 And that's what points to Obama's role.
00:41:34.000 Now, again, this is something we all knew because basically before the election, this was a dirty FBI campaign to spy on your father's circle, to spy on his campaign.
00:41:46.000 And it was also a media operation.
00:41:49.000 But, and Barack Obama knew about it.
00:41:52.000 We know that because of John Brennan left handwritten notes showing that Barack Obama knew about it no later than August 3rd, 2016.
00:42:01.000 But after the election, that's when Barack Obama starts moving things into place, right?
00:42:07.000 These documents show that he was dissatisfied with the assessment from the intelligence community saying, well, you know, no, Russia really didn't do anything or they do their normal stuff.
00:42:19.000 They're Russians.
00:42:20.000 They've been interfering with American elections since before the communist revolution.
00:42:24.000 It's no longer a communist country, but Moscow still messes around in our elections.
00:42:29.000 So what they did was Barack Obama was at the head and Barack Obama told Brennan he wanted this new intelligence community assessment and he wanted it finished before he left office January 20th, 2017.
00:42:44.000 So what did they produce?
00:42:46.000 They produced a phony assessment alleging the most important finding in that document ordered by Barack Obama was that Vladimir Putin tried to get your father elected.
00:42:58.000 And what did that do?
00:43:00.000 That in itself, when we talk about, Donna, when we talk about interfering with elections, when we talk about interfering with the peaceful transfer of power, that's what Barack Obama did right there, because he divided the country.
00:43:15.000 He started to drive the country against each other.
00:43:18.000 Everyone, therefore, who voted for Donald Trump was effectively accused of voting for someone who didn't have America's best interest in mind.
00:43:28.000 He'd been compromised by Moscow, compromised by Vladimir Putin.
00:43:32.000 So what Barack Obama did was not just unlawful, tampering, ordering that intelligence be tampered with, but driving Americans against each other, creating this division, which has only gotten worse since Barack Obama ordered that after the election in 2016.
00:43:53.000 So that's really the timeline, the crucial timeline that the DNI released underscored for us.
00:44:00.000 And that really points to Barack Obama's involvement.
00:44:03.000 So Lee, what needs to be proven in court to actually get convictions?
00:44:07.000 You know, I understand that's a long shot.
00:44:09.000 These systems are designed to protect those people.
00:44:11.000 They do the opposite for guys like us.
00:44:14.000 But what actually needs to be proven in court to get action, to get accountability?
00:44:21.000 How do we make that happen?
00:44:22.000 I'm very optimistic.
00:44:24.000 I mean, for the same reason I'm sure you are.
00:44:28.000 I mean, we're realistic as well.
00:44:30.000 But the optimism comes from the fact that there are the right people in place.
00:44:33.000 Number one is the director of the FBI, and no one knows this stuff better than Cash Patel.
00:44:39.000 Again, he was known as his chief lead investigator for that House Intelligence Committee investigation.
00:44:45.000 He knows the documents.
00:44:47.000 He knew where to find these documents, right, when he was a congressional investigator.
00:44:53.000 So that's one reason for optimism.
00:44:55.000 Another thing is we've seen reports from excellent reporters like John Solomon, who's saying, my understanding is there is an investigation underway and it's a big deal.
00:45:06.000 It may be a conspiracy investigation.
00:45:09.000 And this, by the way, we should remember when Devin Nunes and Cash Patel made criminal referrals to DOJ in the spring of 2019, one of those referrals included a conspiracy referral.
00:45:23.000 So they would be looking at them for a conspiracy in 2019.
00:45:27.000 Again, remembering that Patel was part of that investigation, I imagine they may very well be looking at a conspiracy investigation.
00:45:34.000 What are the other things they're looking at?
00:45:36.000 They're looking at the way that the CIA, John Brennan in particular, messed around with that intelligence community assessment.
00:45:43.000 It's going to be very hard, of course, to get Barack Obama involved.
00:45:47.000 The big thing, though, now is they have the right people in place, like Cash Patel, to find the big players who were involved, like Brennan, like Comey.
00:46:00.000 They've left a very big trail of evidence.
00:46:02.000 I wrote an article last week, Don, for Tablet magazine talking about how the Clinton plan intelligence.
00:46:10.000 It's a little complicated.
00:46:11.000 It's a little dense.
00:46:13.000 But the point is, is that the theory of the case that some investigators have is that John Brennan may have tampered with evidence.
00:46:22.000 And so that's a very big deal.
00:46:24.000 There's a lot of different things I know that they must be looking at.
00:46:27.000 Again, like the intelligence community assessment, like the intelligence community assessment and lots of other stuff that John Durham pointed to.
00:46:35.000 And to give John Durham some credit, we have to remember that a lot of that investigation was executed under Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland.
00:46:46.000 So presumably he was restrained a great deal.
00:46:49.000 But there's a lot of nuggets in that document.
00:46:52.000 Again, I imagine that the FBI and DOJ are looking at those pieces right now.
00:46:58.000 And that's fundamental, right?
00:46:59.000 It's at the FBI DOJ.
00:47:00.000 So it's not something that's going to be, you know, rhinos in Congress, well, it's not really a big deal.
00:47:05.000 We're not going to deal with it.
00:47:06.000 Or we worry about a midterm shift and they use every delay tactic to get through the midterms.
00:47:10.000 And hopefully there's a change of, you know, in their minds, hopefully a change of power and then all of this stuff goes away.
00:47:15.000 I mean, it's with the DOJ and the FBI.
00:47:17.000 So you at least have three and a half years to kind of get to the bottom of this.
00:47:20.000 That's right.
00:47:21.000 It's with the right people.
00:47:22.000 It's in the executive branch.
00:47:24.000 You know, one of the things that Cash and Devin always used to say is like, we're Congress.
00:47:29.000 The best we can do is investigate.
00:47:31.000 We don't have badges and guns.
00:47:33.000 The badges and guns, that's the DOJ and the FBI.
00:47:36.000 So these are the people that can actually get to the bottom of it.
00:47:39.000 Again, a lot of these documents, I'm quite certain, have been hidden away.
00:47:43.000 But I assume that for the last six months, this has been one of Cash Patel's major briefs to find these documents, to talk to people.
00:47:53.000 And again, Tulsi Gabbard found these very important documents.
00:47:56.000 So again, I'm optimistic.
00:47:58.000 And look, this has affected you as much as anyone else.
00:48:03.000 We've talked about the different people who've been hurt by Russia Gate, you, your family, your father, of course.
00:48:08.000 But look at the other people, Roger Stone, Michael Caputo, Carter Page, Michael Flynn.
00:48:15.000 So we've all been through a lot.
00:48:18.000 The country has been through a lot.
00:48:20.000 Yeah, we should, by the way, sue the hell out of them.
00:48:23.000 Just anyway, I was thinking about it.
00:48:25.000 It seems like, I mean, I knew it all along, but now that you actually have evidence of it, it's a little bit different.
00:48:31.000 Beyond that, let them do some testimony for a change.
00:48:34.000 I'm sick of it.
00:48:34.000 I've done enough.
00:48:35.000 That's right.
00:48:37.000 Put everyone on the spot, do exactly what they did.
00:48:40.000 And like, you know, hey, it's part of the legal system.
00:48:43.000 If we find that these guys have done bad things, the people who are hurt should definitely sue, should definitely put these people on the spot.
00:48:52.000 I hope that's what happens.
00:48:53.000 But also, you know, if we're talking about a criminal case, that's a very big deal.
00:48:57.000 And this is one of the things that I've been saying from the beginning.
00:49:00.000 I know that Devin Nunes was saying this too, and Cash Patel was saying this.
00:49:03.000 Like, we need to make charges.
00:49:05.000 We need indictments and we need convictions.
00:49:08.000 Because otherwise, Don, we're looking at a future where in blue cities across America, school children are going to be taught that Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States, was compromised by the Russians.
00:49:22.000 And we can't have that garbage in our future.
00:49:24.000 People have to be indicted.
00:49:26.000 They have to be convicted.
00:49:27.000 They have to be put in orange jumpsuits.
00:49:29.000 And that will underscore the truth of what's happened since late 2015 up to the present.
00:49:37.000 Yeah, and I would think, you know, Obama, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, I mean, they have to be concerned, right?
00:49:43.000 I mean, it's right there in plain sight.
00:49:46.000 I put up the meme of Obama in the White Ford Bronco, a little bit of a take on the OJ thing, but this thing is pretty damning.
00:49:54.000 Well, I mean, one of the things that we see is people like Comey and Brennan.
00:49:58.000 I mean, these are, how should we put it?
00:50:00.000 These are not the people with the strongest characters, right?
00:50:04.000 I mean, didn't, I thought Brennan, one of them, you know, is known to have perjured himself before Congress.
00:50:09.000 And, you know, of course, again, there's no accountability because it was Joe Biden's DOJ.
00:50:13.000 You know, oh, yeah, it's not really a problem.
00:50:15.000 But I mean, these are known liars.
00:50:17.000 Well, look at what they tried to do to all the people around your father, like Michael Flynn, like Roger Stone.
00:50:22.000 They tried to squeeze them and make them talk to give up Donald Trump, to give up President Trump.
00:50:26.000 And all these people said, I'm not going to lie.
00:50:28.000 I'm not going to make anything up.
00:50:29.000 Nothing happened.
00:50:30.000 You know, Donald Trump is, Donald Trump is on the up and up.
00:50:34.000 But look at these guys with the character of a John Brennan or a James Comey, and they know what happened, and they're finding the documents.
00:50:40.000 What are they going to do?
00:50:41.000 Who are they going to give up?
00:50:43.000 How much are they going to talk?
00:50:44.000 Look, part of this, of course, is this is something I've been thinking about for at least seven years, like you have as well.
00:50:51.000 So this is what we want to have happen.
00:50:54.000 People, you see it on social media that people are pessimistic.
00:50:58.000 They don't believe it.
00:50:59.000 And again, what I try to explain is there's reason for us to be realistic and look at what we're working with, look at what we're dealing with.
00:51:09.000 But there's also great reasons for optimism too.
00:51:12.000 You've seen something else, and I'm sure you've heard other people talking about this as well.
00:51:16.000 If it's a conspiracy case between 2016 and 2024, that's going to involve a lot of jurisdictions that are not blue.
00:51:24.000 So if someone gets hauled in front of a court, say in Florida, that's going to be very different than a court, a jury drawn from a pool that voted 96% for Hillary Clinton.
00:51:37.000 So again, there's all sorts of reasons for optimism.
00:51:40.000 And again, we don't want Americans fooling themselves, but be optimistic.
00:51:45.000 This is one of the things that we wanted when we elected your father to be the 47th president of the United States to make things right, to set our justice system right, to have justice for all Americans, and especially the people who were so badly hurt by what's Happened the last seven, eight, nine years, almost a decade.
00:52:05.000 Lean, you sort of dropped a big comment earlier regarding Durham.
00:52:08.000 If he was stifled by Garland, that would be just as big of a scandal, wouldn't it?
00:52:13.000 I mean, Durham never found this stuff.
00:52:17.000 How did that happen?
00:52:17.000 I mean, you have a special counsel, you have all this, and this stuff doesn't appear.
00:52:21.000 I mean, that seems like it had to be hidden.
00:52:23.000 Durham found some really good stuff.
00:52:25.000 He found some stuff that may be used.
00:52:27.000 Again, we hear reports that there are investigations.
00:52:30.000 This is what John Solomon's saying.
00:52:32.000 If there are investigations, I assume some of the material that John Durham found and some of which is in that report, which is very helpful.
00:52:39.000 For instance, when we saw Michael Horowitz's Inspector General report from December 2018, there was not a lot in there about James Comey.
00:52:50.000 In Durham's report, it's quite clear that James Comey is running Crossfire Hurricane.
00:52:57.000 So that in itself is a very big deal.
00:53:00.000 Will they be able to find different details, different pieces of evidence to put that out there and to bring charges against the former FBI director?
00:53:07.000 I hope so.
00:53:07.000 But yeah, what you're saying about Merrick Garland pressuring Durham, I mean, I'm quite certain that's the case.
00:53:15.000 I mean, maybe Durham will be helpful as well for the FBI and DOJ investigation.
00:53:20.000 What are the different things that he'll be able to explain that he saw that he was not even able to put in the report?
00:53:25.000 Again, reason for optimism.
00:53:28.000 I hope you don't think I'm being pollyannish and certainly not your great author.
00:53:31.000 No, by the way, listen, hey, we've been taught to be like, hey, listen, we could have all the evidence in the world and there's a solid chance nothing even happens of it.
00:53:38.000 I mean, you know, it's unfortunate that we have to be that cynical, but I totally get it.
00:53:44.000 I mean, that's a learned response that we've all, you know, anyone who's tuning in and watching this who isn't a troll probably understands that sort of disappointment.
00:53:52.000 So I'm hoping that something comes from it.
00:53:55.000 I guess I'd also ask, you know, Lee, what about all the FISA information that's out there?
00:54:02.000 You know, what will it take to see the unredacted FISA?
00:54:06.000 Is there a next step here to get that out there?
00:54:09.000 Because I imagine that would be one of the smoking guns in all of this, because we all understand how bastardized and corrupted those were.
00:54:17.000 Well, remember what happened again.
00:54:19.000 It was Devin and Cash who found that that FISA was based almost entirely on the steel dossier.
00:54:26.000 So, look, there's other stuff in there, I assume, that's bad, and that will help guide and fill out the investigation.
00:54:36.000 But to have all that stuff, again, transparency is very important.
00:54:40.000 But the most important thing for the American public, for our republic, is to have people held accountable.
00:54:47.000 And look, Don, I mean, you know, as you know, people elected your father because they believed that your father not only, you know, said the right things, but that he would make these things happen.
00:54:59.000 I mean, for me, you know, for me, for him to obliterate, as he puts it, the Iranian nuclear program, I mean, that was so important.
00:55:07.000 And that's what people were counting on.
00:55:08.000 So many different things that people were counting on, you know, your father to accomplish.
00:55:13.000 And look at all the things he is doing right now.
00:55:15.000 And this is so vital.
00:55:17.000 Again, you see it on social media.
00:55:19.000 You see it on conversations.
00:55:22.000 How much RussiaGate matters to people and how important it is to get to the bottom of this.
00:55:27.000 So for you, Lee, I mean, you wrote the book on this.
00:55:31.000 You wrote the Bible on this.
00:55:33.000 How vindicating is it for you?
00:55:36.000 Oh, I mean, I don't feel vindicated because, you know, I mean, I knew what I was doing.
00:55:43.000 I trusted the people that I was interviewing.
00:55:45.000 I mean, Cash and Devin and that team over there.
00:55:48.000 You know, Cash came up with the name of that investigation, Objective Medusa.
00:55:53.000 So, no, I mean, I don't feel vindicated.
00:55:56.000 I always knew it was right.
00:55:57.000 I always knew this is what happened.
00:55:59.000 Devin knew it's what happened.
00:56:00.000 Cash knew what happened.
00:56:02.000 And you knew what happened.
00:56:04.000 I mean, so, you know, all the good people, they, you know, they had faith in me and I had faith in them.
00:56:09.000 So I'm happy the news is reaching more people.
00:56:16.000 And I'm happy that the people who are there and can accomplish this work like cash, I'm happy that they appear to be on a real upswing right now.
00:56:29.000 So that's what I'm happiest about.
00:56:31.000 Well, I'm glad to hear that one as well.
00:56:33.000 I mean, you also wrote another book, The Disappearing President.
00:56:37.000 What are you going to be working on next with all of this information now coming out to light?
00:56:40.000 Well, I'm writing, certainly I'll be writing about Russia a lot, but I have a book coming out in October, which is about China and your father.
00:56:50.000 It gives the history of U.S.-China relations for the last half century, and it shows how Donald Trump is the only American president who's ever done anything about it.
00:57:01.000 So I think that's a very, and look, I mean, that's another story of profound corruption over 50 years long.
00:57:10.000 And it took your father to come forth and start talking about it.
00:57:13.000 So I interviewed him for that book and lots of other people, lots of really excellent people, some of whom worked for your father in that first administration and other people who are, you know, who admire and respect the different things that the first Trump White House did and the second Trump White House is doing right now regarding China to set things right.
00:57:33.000 So I'm excited about that.
00:57:34.000 And again, it's another story about American political corruption and how your father was elected to make it right.
00:57:42.000 And so, yeah, I look forward to talking to you about that when it's out in October.
00:57:46.000 Well, I look forward to it as well.
00:57:48.000 Lee Smith, thank you very much, guys.

00:57:54.000 He was way ahead of the curve on that.

00:57:57.000 Look forward to talking to you soon.
00:57:59.000 Thanks so much, Don.
