Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Kelly, I'd be wrong, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the idea of Powell being asked about the Grateful Dead and going to the Dead concert during the hearing and him saying that it was, He's been a dead fan for 50 years, had a terrific time at the concert. | ||
| But the important thing was that there was bipartisan agreement on the Grateful Dead among both a Republican and a Democratic congressman on that issue. | ||
| So I don't think we want to miss this moment to emphasize and underscore and highlight bipartisanship, I think it's a generational thing, Steve. | ||
| Gentlemen, if you could pause for a moment. | ||
| Some young congressman there. | ||
| All right. Thanks, Chair Powell, for being here with us today. | ||
| Back in 1995, I worked here in Congress as an intern for Dick Gephardt. | ||
| I was in his press office, and we had newspapers where my job would be to clip out the articles and paste them on a sheet. | ||
| But when I was here in 1995, The Grateful Dead were playing. | ||
| It was one of Jerry Garcia's last concerts. | ||
| And I was just so disappointed that I missed that concert. | ||
| I was excited to see from public reporting that you were at the most recent Dead& Company show. | ||
| I've been to this version with John Mayer and enjoyed it, but we weren't here. | ||
| How was the show? Did you like it? | ||
| It was terrific, what can I say? | ||
| It was great. I've been a Grateful Dead fan for 50 years. | ||
| Well, I've found one universal truth. | ||
| I like people who like the Grateful Dead. | ||
| So, having said that, I have limited time, but do you want any time to go back to some of the questions that you had? | ||
| Do you want to elaborate on anything that you've said here so far today? | ||
| You're very kind to offer, but I'm fine with the answers I've given so far, I believe. | ||
| Yeah, I think that congressman will change his opinion. | ||
| 9 June, Year of Our Lord, 1973. | ||
| A group of guys who went to a military prep school then going to VPI were down in RFK Stadium 50 years ago this month to hear the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and I still think the new writers of the Purple Sage. | ||
| Of course, I wasn't in a total frame of mind to remember a lot went on, but that's the Grateful Dead. | ||
| A pal today, his testimony... | ||
| The most important thing he said, well, besides inflation's not under control, is that he's a deadhead. | ||
| Okay. Peter Navarro. | ||
| Peter, you're a D.C. Drain with big news, and D.C. Drain is going to help break it here. | ||
| Peter, you were a D.C. kid, but you weren't around in 1973, were you? | ||
| No, I just got out of college. | ||
| This was Watergate, Vietnam, all hell breaking loose in this country. | ||
| And for whatever reason, I forecast bad times ahead. | ||
| retreated to Southeast Asia for the Peace Corps for three years. | ||
| So I missed the Arab oil embargo a lot of that stuff. | ||
| Okay, we've proven that Peter Navarro is a CAA officer, a field officer. | ||
| Well, I do have some stories. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do have some very interesting stories about that, which we'll share another time. | |
| But before DC Drano tweets... | ||
| Tweets this. I'm going to scoop him on this. | ||
| What would it be? We got the new Nero. | ||
| Jerry Garcia fiddled while stagflation burned. | ||
| And let's not forget, maybe Powell was doing the electric Kool-Aid acid test when he said inflation would be transitory. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's all that comedy I got today, brother. | |
| We're going to do that in the B-block because it's quite important what he said today. | ||
| But real quickly, before DC Drano comes on, You watched the Durham hearing. | ||
| You watched both Powell and Durham. | ||
| Tell me about, was the Durham hearing, was Jim Jordan totally in control of that, sir? | ||
| No, but just one last thing on Powell, which is a serious, serious matter. | ||
| He basically confirmed our stagnation forecast. | ||
| He said in order for things to get better, it's going to take a long time. | ||
| And during that long time, we're going to have slow growth and low and moderate income people are going to take it basically in the shorts. | ||
| So it's everything that we've said it was. | ||
| It's going to be a Hobbesian turn of events, but it's not going to be short. | ||
| It's going to be long. With respect to that hearing, I listened intently to your show this morning and couldn't agree with you more that Durham is fruit of the poisonous Bill Barr tree. | ||
| We knew from the beginning when Barr went the special prosecutor route, the whole point was to delay Any findings until after the election, so there would be no vindication of Trump. | ||
| That was the tell. | ||
| Durham himself was the tell in Bill Barr's con game. | ||
| That guy is one of the most dangerous men in America right now. | ||
| He's pedaling. With respect to Adam Schiff and Jim Jordan, look, hey Jim, hey, look at me, baby, right? | ||
| You walk around in your short sleeve like a little wrestler, like you're a tough guy. | ||
| You're not a tough guy anymore, Jim. | ||
| Adam Schiff had his way with you, dude. | ||
| He pins you to the mat, and you should have been begging, begging. | ||
| And it was just terrible. | ||
| It's like, I'm so sick of that committee, whether it's Jordan or Mike Turner or whatever, it's not the Intelligence Committee. | ||
| We fought really hard out there in deplorable land to get a Republican majority, and they're not doing squat with Comer. | ||
| Comer's not doing squat. | ||
| Jordan's not doing even more squat. | ||
| Go ahead. Hang on. | ||
| I got Navarro worked up. | ||
| It's afternoon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is afternoon the meds wear off? Hey, no, no. | |
| Electric Kool-Aid acid test, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I listened to the dead all afternoon getting ready for this. | |
| Hang on for a second. I'm going to play the call over for D.C. Drain. | ||
| It might be a little long, but let's go ahead and play. | ||
| Can we play it? And it's amazing that Republicans are so hellbent all these years later and ahead of another contest on muddying the waters about whether or not that's a good thing. | ||
| In that vein, I have to ask you about what they're gonna do tonight. | ||
| The Republican-controlled House is set to vote for the second time in just two weeks to censure you. | ||
| allegedly for saying that Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia. | ||
| I mean, the Mueller report volume one says just that. | ||
| And you articulated the distinction between being able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a criminal conspiracy took place. | ||
| That is very different from what Mueller does find, which is the shared mission and a welcoming of Russia's interference in the 2016 election. | ||
| Why do you think they're so obsessed with bringing this up and punishing you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, look, I think they go after people that they feel are a threat or effective in holding them accountable or holding Donald Trump accountable. | |
| And I don't expect this to be the last attack on me for doing that because they're going to continue to serve this disgraced former president. | ||
| They have essentially decided that they're going to be fully subservient to his wishes. | ||
| We've heard enough. | ||
| We may play some more of that later. | ||
| DC Drano, Rogan O'Hanley, can you give us the speed on what's the latest on the censure of Adam Schiff, sir? | ||
| Yeah, so the ball may have been dropped in the Durham proceedings, but Representative Ana Paulina Luna picked it up seven months pregnant and just truck-sticked Adam Schiff on the House floor. | ||
| The vote to table the motion passed without a single Republican objector. | ||
| Last week, as your viewers may remember, the Coward 20 didn't even let it come to the debate floor. | ||
| They protected Adam Schiff, and boy, did they get An earful over the last week, especially from yours truly. | ||
| We posted their names, their numbers, and they got a lot of calls. | ||
| The Warren Posse was busy. | ||
| I posted that on Twitter. | ||
| It got over 3 million views, 30,000 retweets. | ||
| People were pissed off that they didn't hold Adam Schiff accountable. | ||
| This vote is coming now to the final vote at around 5.30, so very, very soon. | ||
| We're hearing that it's going to pass, but I'm not holding my breath until it does. | ||
| So today Adam Schiff could potentially go down in history because only 25 members of Congress have ever been censured. | ||
| So he's very, very upset about that. | ||
| And that's the story, thankfully, not what happened in the Durham proceedings. | ||
| Well, this will kill his Senate run, so that's the important thing here. | ||
| Let me ask you, is your sense right now, because there was all kind of rumors this afternoon that leadership had really told her to knock this stuff off and don't do this, is your sense that this will pass right now? | ||
| I know she's been whipping this individually, but do you think this thing will pass? | ||
| Yes, if I had to put some money on it, I would say that it'll pass. | ||
| But, you know, we can spare four or five votes from what I hear. | ||
| There's one or two stragglers. | ||
| But, you know, if people have been on Twitter or Getter over the last week, they've seen that the Coward 20 certainly don't want to be in that position anymore. | ||
| And I think this is really a good precedent to set because, you know, what we just did with Bud Light, what we just did with Target, we just did to our own House members that won't do what the people want. | ||
| And there are going to be some more important votes after this one. | ||
| So we got to bring the ball across the finish line here. | ||
| But You know, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, they're filing these privilege resolutions as well to impeach Joe Biden and to impeach Mayorkas, Ray, Graves, the D.C. attorney, Merrick Garland. | ||
| So these privilege resolutions... | ||
| Are headaches for leadership because they get through the committees, go right to the House floor. | ||
| They have to be voted on within like a few days or a week. | ||
| So, you know, Marjorie talked about her impeachment resolution for Joe Biden has been sitting in judiciary for two and a half years. | ||
| It's the number one most viewed bill. | ||
| When she makes it a privileged resolution, it goes right to a vote. | ||
| And so there's gonna be a lot of House Republicans looking around saying, wow, I really don't want to be the coward 20. | ||
| I better vote to impeach these people. | ||
| Otherwise, MAGA and the War Room Posse are going to come after me peacefully. | ||
| Look, Jordan and people on the Judiciary Committee have a lot of fans, but give me your assessment today. | ||
| I didn't get to see the Matt Gaetz part of it, all that, but I was very disappointed in that the Democrats, and Durham's pathetic. | ||
| If you don't think Durham's pathetic, and as Peter Navarro said so eloquently, fruit of the poison bar tree, because I just think he's absolutely pathetic, and I think he's a weasel up there when he answers any question. | ||
| But you're a University of Chicago law school grad. | ||
| Tell me what your thoughts are. I thought the highlight of today was Representative Matt Gaetz from Florida, per the usual. | ||
| He's a lawyer as well, and he grilled him, and he really changed my perspective. | ||
| Our side didn't do the best in terms of bringing Durham's case, but part of the issue is Durham didn't do his job, and Matt Gaetz said on Twitter, he called it, And he cited multiple examples of Durham not questioning why the Mueller special counsel team deleted all their phones. | ||
| Didn't go after that. | ||
| Didn't question why they sent a honeypot at George Papadopoulos. | ||
| Who authorized that in the FBI? Didn't go after that. | ||
| So there was a lot of accountability. | ||
| And he talked about how he brought Two or three criminal cases. | ||
| They all failed. One of them got a plea deal, and the guy still retains his bar license. | ||
| This is still practice in law. | ||
| So when it comes down to it, the Durham report, as much as it proved in the history books that the Russia collusion spying hoax was real, that it was a hoax, But it really didn't hold people accountable. | ||
| The swamp has not been drained. | ||
| And that's why we need to push our House Republicans to actually hold these people accountable with impeachments. | ||
| DC, how do people get to you? | ||
| You're one of the biggest influencers on social media. | ||
| How do people follow you? Thank you. | ||
| It's an honor to be on the war room. | ||
| DCDrano.com. | ||
| You can sign up for my email list or follow me on Twitter where I have been calling out specific members of Congress for not obeying the will of the people, and I'm just trying to be the voice of the people here, so thank you for having me on. | ||
| I think the people want Rogan O'Hanley in the halls of Congress, so we'll talk about that later. | ||
| Thank you very much. On point as usual. | ||
| Okay. Thanks, brother. | ||
| There's a tentative vote, I guess, at 530. | ||
| We will go live to that. | ||
| Peter Navarro is going to hang with us for at least another block. | ||
| We got Dave Walsh here, big news out of Texas in the grid. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back. We're going to hear from Nancy Pelosi, Anna Polina Luna, and we're also going to drill down on what, pal, the stagflation that is before you, all brought to you by the radicals in the Democratic Party and The titans on Wall Street, the tech oligarchs, all of it. | ||
| Go off the little Grateful Dead. | ||

|
Back in a moment. I want to love you tonight and day. | |
| You know I love my baby. | ||
| The office interviewed Mipson. | ||
| Did he lie to you guys too? | ||
| Can't get into that. Did you interview Mipson? | ||
| Can't get into that. Is Mifsud Western Intelligence or Russian Intelligence? | ||
| Can't get into that. Well, I'm reading from your report. | ||
| Mifsud told Papadopoulos. | ||
| Papadopoulos tells the diplomat. | ||
| The diplomat tells the FBI. The FBI opens the investigation July 31, 2016. | ||
| And here we are three years later, July of 2019. | ||
| The country's been put through this. | ||
| And the central figure who launches it all? | ||
| Lies to us, and you guys don't hunt him down and interview him again, and you don't charge him with a crime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe a better course of action is to figure out how the false accusation started. | |
| Maybe it's to go back and actually figure out why Joseph Nipsoe was lying to the FBI. And here's the good news. | ||
| Here's the good news. | ||
| That's exactly what Bill Barr is doing. | ||
| And thank goodness for that. | ||
| That's exactly what the Attorney General and John Durham are doing. | ||
| Mr. Durham, was that what you were doing? | ||
| I'm sorry, is that what? | ||
| Was finding out who Mifsud was, what you were doing? | ||
| We pursued that avenue, yes. | ||
| This whole thing was an op, Mr. | ||
| Durham. This wasn't like a bumbling, fumbling FBI that couldn't get FISA straight. | ||
| They ran an op. | ||
| So who put Mifsud in play? | ||
| You don't know, do you? | ||
| I do not know that. I can't give you the answer. | ||
| For years, you had years to find out the answer to what Mr. | ||
| Jordan said was the seminal question, and you don't have it. | ||
| And it just begs the question whether or not you were really trying to find that out. | ||
| Because it's one thing to criticize the FBI for their FISA violations, to write a report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They've been criticized in plenty of reports. | |
| Some have referred to your work as just a repackaging and regurgitation process. | ||
| of what the Inspector General already told us. | ||
| So if you weren't going to do what Mr. | ||
| Jordan said you were going to do in that video and give us the basis for all of it, what's this all been about? | ||
| I'm not exactly sure of the import of your question. | ||
| If your question is, did we try to locate and interview Mr. | ||
| Mifsud, the answer is yes. | ||
| Why didn't you subpoena him to a grand jury? | ||
| I'm sorry, why not? Why didn't you send him a grand jury subpoena? | ||
| Mr. Mifsud? You'd have to find Mr. | ||
| Mifsud before you could serve a grand jury subpoena on him. | ||
| You guys were out in Italy. Was it you and Bill Barr looking for authentic pasta over there or Mifsud? | ||
| No, we not. | ||
| We were looking for information that might help us locate Mifsud. | ||
| But you know who I think could probably locate him? | ||
| The features of Western intelligence and possibly our own government that put him in play. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, your report seems to be less an indictment of the FBI and more of an inoculation. | |
| Lowercase i, of course. | ||
| And like many inoculations, it may have worse consequences down the road. | ||
| We'll have some time to discuss this matter further, but... | ||
| It's just hard to, like, pretend as though this was a sincere effort when you don't get to the fundamental thing that started the whole deal. | ||
| I yield back. I was away from my family for four years, essentially doing this investigation. | ||
| My view is a sincere effort. | ||
| The fact that you can't find somebody overseas should not come as a big surprise. | ||
| Could you find us reclaiming my time? | ||
| Is he alive or dead? We don't know. | ||
| Gentlemen, time has expired. | ||
| The Chair now recognizes the gentleman from Arizona, Mr. | ||
| Biggs. Thanks, Mr. | ||
| Chairman. Mr. | ||
| Durham, isn't it true that Danchenko admitted that information he provided to Christopher Steele in June of 2016 was, quote, rumor and speculation? | ||
| Correct. And Danchenko himself estimated that he was responsible for 80 % of the intelligence and 50 % of the analysis in the Steele dossier. | ||
| Is that right? That's correct. | ||
| Do you agree with his assessment or his estimate of his participation in the dossier? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we have no reason to doubt that. | |
| I mean, Steele identified him as the primary subsource or the principal source of the information. | ||
| Yeah, and that's what I mean. Steele used that rumor and speculation to build his dossier, and we've wandered all over this. | ||
| None of those statements were corroborated at all. | ||
| And yet, Danchenko's reputation for veracity was considered bad. | ||
| He was considered a boastful man who had low credibility, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was information that the Bureau had along those lines. | |
| Yes, sir. And in fact, when he lost his visa, his work permit, he used a Russian business as a front to basically fraudulently get a visa to work in the United States. | ||
| Is that right? Page 128 of your report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, he went to work for a company in the United States and Steele was paying him through a cutout through that company in the United States. | |
| Yeah, most of us who look at that area of the law regularly like I do would say that's immigration fraud. | ||
| And it's also true, we talked about this, it's true, there was an FBI counter-espionage investigation into Danchenko 2009-2011, and that was a result of him approaching a Brookings Institution co-worker, trying to essentially solicit espionage on behalf of the Russian government. | ||
| And then, even though the Washington field office is right there, and he lived just a few miles from the Washington field office, The case was closed on Mr. | ||
| Denchenko, that investigation, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Denchenko investigation was being done by Baltimore, the Baltimore field office. | |
| But that's right, he stayed where he... | ||
| Nonetheless, you lived around... | ||
| I live out there. | ||
| I know, I live around the corner from there. | ||
| So let's take a look at... | ||
| Let's boil this down. After determining that nothing that Denchenko told Steele could be verified, there was all a pack of lies, an innuendo and rumor, After further determining that he had attempted to solicit espionage for Russia, and he had himself been subject to an investigation by the Bureau, and after having committed immigration fraud, the FBI hired him on as an informer and paid him 220 grand and proposed an additional 300 grand to be paid to him. | ||
| Now, that's all. That's your testimony. | ||
| That's in the report. It's all there. | ||
| And that's even after the Validation Management Unit had determined that Danchenko was a concern and likely had connections to Russian intelligence. | ||
| That's in your report as well? | ||
| Correct. And very special Agent Helson knew most of these facts but continued to endorse Danchenko's recruitment and payment as a confidential human source, right? | ||
| That's correct. So, I'm going to give you these things, and I think you understand why so many of us are underwhelmed with some of your recommendations from the FBI, but overwhelmed by what's going on here. | ||
| The FISA application, we've talked about that, where that came from. | ||
| We've talked about that the FBI has conducted millions of unconstitutional backdoor FISA 702 searches. | ||
| A disparate treatment of Hillary Rodham Clinton, which you discuss in your report. | ||
| The sweetheart Hunter Biden plea deal that would send normal Americans to jail for years. | ||
| He's getting nothing. | ||
| We have 50 intelligence officers signing on to a letter stating they would rather have a job in the Biden administration than tell the truth to the American people. | ||
| The Hunter Biden laptop suppression. | ||
| The DOJ targeting parents at school board meetings. | ||
| A federal prosecutor setting a quota, essentially, on additional January 6th individuals. | ||
| He said he's got to get 2,000 more. | ||
| That's a quota. That's a bounty. | ||
| DHS targeting Catholics at church. | ||
| Hoaxes, villainizing border agents while the border itself is under attack. | ||
| That's all from these agencies. | ||
| And I understand that you're loyal to your institution. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| But Ms. | ||
| Sparks gave an excellent enumeration of all the things that you found in your report. | ||
| And that's why people like me, and I don't want to speak for anybody else on here, we're baffled, just utterly baffled, That more people have not been held accountable for their crimes. | ||
| Because these are crimes. | ||
| What's gone on in this country, the division in this country today, I can trace back to one thing. | ||
| It isn't Trump going down the escalator. | ||
| It is the Steele dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton through the cutouts. | ||
| And that's caused the division in this country today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I yield back. Witness can respond. | |
| I'm not sure there was a question at the end. | ||
| I know, I'm just giving you opportunity to respond. | ||
| I didn't get there. The gentleman from Florida is recognized. | ||
| You tried two cases, lost both of them, and then the one guilty plea you got, Clinesmith? | ||
| Clinesmith is back to practicing law in Washington, D.C. today. | ||
| That's beyond my control. | ||
| Right, but the fact that you allowed that plea to occur, right? | ||
| And then the punishment was insufficient. | ||
| The fact that you didn't charge Andrew McCabe, you didn't convict the lying Democrats or the lying Russians, you didn't investigate Mifsud or the Mueller probe, even though, as we sit here today in black letter, that was your charge. | ||
| Have you ever heard of the Washington Generals? | ||
| The Washington Generals? | ||
| Yes. And they're the team that basically gets paid to show up and lose, right? | ||
| Well, you know, I'm sure that the players who exert blood, sweat, and tears don't view it that way, but you might. | ||
| I think they do. I think they do, because the job of the Washington generals is to show up every night and to play the Harlem Globetrotters. | ||
| And their job is to lose. | ||
| Oh, I'm sorry, I was thinking of a different thing. | ||
| Yeah, so their job is to lose. | ||
| And I'm kind of wondering, and it just seems so facially obvious, that it's not what's in your report that's telling. | ||
| It's the omission. It's the lack of work you did. | ||
| And for the people like the chairman who put trust in you, I think you let them down. | ||
| I think you let the country down. | ||
| And you are one of the barriers to the true accountability that we need. | ||
| I told you, thank God for Andy Biggs and thank God for Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Peter Navarro, and I told people for years this was going to happen, so your assessments are... | ||
| Yeah, two quick thoughts. | ||
| That Jim Jordan we saw on the tape, you ought to play that over and over again because that guy should go on a milk carton because he's missing. | ||
| Okay? That's the guy I used to love. | ||
| He's missing. Put that Jim Jordan on a milk carton. | ||
| Secondly, I think the point here that Gates made is really the fundamental point. | ||
| This was an op. | ||
| This was an op. | ||
| And it was the best case ever. | ||
| That there was a seditious conspiracy of any I've seen in Washington. | ||
| Because the whole purpose of that op was to overthrow a duly elected president of the United States. | ||
| Comer, Clapper, Page, Strzok, all of these people that were part of this op. | ||
| They're not just running free like Hunter Biden. | ||
| They're getting six and seven figures for books and going on CNN and Fox. | ||
| And they're still associated with this apparatus. | ||
| It's criminal. It's criminal, Steve. | ||
| It's criminal. And by the way, Andy, hey, don't forget about me and Bannon, okay? | ||
| Okay, they're trying to put us in prison. | ||
| Why has Congress forgotten about all of that when they do their long litany? | ||
| This is crazy stuff. | ||
| Seditious conspiracy. | ||
| Hang on, hang on. That's what these people are a part of. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short break. | ||
| I want to thank the War Room engine room that informs us But this is Buddy Hollis, not Fade Away. | ||
| By the Grateful Dead live, 9 June 1973, RFK Stadium with the Allman Brothers. | ||
| And I'm still saying new writers of the Purple Sage are members thereof. | ||

Back in a moment. Gentlewoman's recognized. | |
| Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. | ||
| I thank the General for yielding in for his great presentation today. | ||
| Today we are on the floor of the House where the other side has turned this chamber, where slavery was abolished, where Medicare and Social Security and everything were instituted, they've turned it into a puppet show. | ||
| A puppet show. | ||
| And you know what? The puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings. | ||
| You look miserable. | ||
| You look miserable. The only advantage to all of this is that instead of reversing what we did on the IRA to save the planet or reversing what we did to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, you're wasting time. | ||

The gentleman from Maryland's time has expired. | |
| The gentleman from Florida is recognized. | ||
| I yield myself such time as I may consume. | ||
| Americans do not trust Congress. | ||
| From the highest levels of office, an elected member of this body enabled the fraudulent spending of $32 million out of the pockets of our American people and threw it down the drain to knowingly chase ghosts, all for political gain. | ||
| This man occupied a position of the highest trust and authority. | ||
| As chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff launched an all-out political campaign built on baseless distortions against a sitting U.S. president at the expense of every single citizen in this country and the honor of the House of Representatives. | ||
| With access to sensitive information unavailable to most members of Congress and certainly not accessible to the American people, Schiff abused his privileges claiming to know the truth while leaving Americans in the dark about this web of lies. | ||
| lies so severe that they altered the course of the country forever. | ||
| The lie that President- The House is not in order. | ||
| Members, please take your conversations off the floor. | ||
| Okay. Very contentious today. | ||
| That's APL, our own Anna Polina Luna, and this vote's supposed to take place shortly, I believe, according to D.C. Drino. | ||
| Peter Navarro, Shift, you've been in the firestorm of this. | ||
| I want to go back to what Matt Gaetz said and you reiterate it. | ||
| This was an op. | ||
| It wasn't some random group of events or FBI officers didn't do their job correctly or maybe overzealous. | ||
| Maybe some overzealous is not. This was an op. | ||
| And shifty shift looked the American people and lied about going into the skiff. | ||
| You've got to remember, why was he running the deal when we controlled the House? | ||
| Because Paul Ryan, who's on the board at Fox News, made Devin Nunez Step down, recuse himself. | ||
| Nunez recused himself because he'd come to the White House for one meeting. | ||
| Made him recuse himself. | ||
| And basically put in charge Trey Gowdy, who was a worm, and handed it to Swalwell. | ||
| And Schiff ran house intel on this and sat there on the Rachel Matters show night after night after night and lied to the American people he had seen classified information. | ||
| Dr. Navarro. And Trey Gowdy wound up where? | ||
| Fox News. Fox News. | ||
|

|
Murdoch News. Yes, on Murdoch News. | |
| It's a conspiracy. Here's what's unique about this, Steve. | ||
| Because it really was a Rubicon cross. | ||
| This was not just an op by Democrats. | ||
| It was an op that had the full collusion of what was already then a weaponized Justice Department, weaponized by the deep administrative bureaucrats, Within both the FBI and the Department of Justice. | ||
| And there's so many unclean hands here that it defies the imagination, as Gates said, that Durham could not connect any of these dots and all of these people roll free. | ||
| I mean, I was there, Steve. | ||
| You were there. | ||
| We were there at the beginning. | ||
| I watched this whole movie for four years during the Trump administration. | ||
| And prior to that, at the end of the campaign in the transition. | ||
| And they kept coming at Trump trying to overthrow the government. | ||
| What's the seditious conspiracy? | ||
| It's the plotting to overthrow a sitting president. | ||
| You compare that to what they try to do with the J6 people to what the FBI and the Justice Department and Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party actually did? | ||
| My God! The fact that Durham couldn't put anybody in prison is crazy! | ||
| Crossfire Hurricanes started in the summer of 2016 because they started to get nervous. | ||
| They started to get nervous that Trump could actually win. | ||
| Remember, Trump was the guy they never thought would be there. | ||
| Look at the Keebler elves today. | ||
| Look at who Trump ran against in 2016. | ||
| That was the blossom. | ||
| Of many years of Republican donors, whether it's Libertarians or limited government conservatives, you had Jeb Bush, you had Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, you had Rand Paul, you had in each vertical, you had the creme de la creme, okay? | ||
| Now you've got the Keebler elves. | ||
| Both groups, if you take both groups in 16, they're talking about things that are not really relevant. | ||
| It's all this tiny town conversation that nobody cares about. | ||
| Was the one person they never expected to arrive. | ||
| Because they realized he gave voice to the working class and middle class. | ||
| The forgotten man and woman. | ||
| Not in the room, not in the deal. | ||
| Trump put you in the room and put you at the table. | ||
| That's why they had to take him down at all. | ||
| And they understood. And nobody owned him, Steve. | ||
| We've got to be ready for this. | ||
| Nobody owned him. Nobody gave us any money. | ||
| That stuff you played earlier today. | ||
| Okay, with James O'Keefe and Blackstone talking about senators for sale. | ||
| I mean, that's the way this town, this deep swamp works. | ||
| And... Trump was the unicorn, right? | ||
| And they, look, we've gone, look, from 2016 to as we speak, they're not just trying to take him down, they're trying to take us down, everybody who supports him, and they're trying to quiet the posse, the moms out in the school boards, get invested. I mean, this is crazy town stuff. | ||
| And for Durham to get up there and for Jordan to have Durham's back, And let Schiff take over that meeting. | ||
| It's disgraceful. | ||
| Jim Jordan, there's something seriously wrong with that situation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He was the guy who made Kevin McCarthy the speaker. | |
| He's made a deal with McCarthy. | ||
| That's why it's all tiny town. | ||
| Your point is great. The guy that was in that opening video, put him on a milk cart and we want him back. | ||
| That's the Jim Jordan we're looking for. | ||
| Okay, Peter, real quickly, real quickly. | ||
| Powell said today, inflation's not under control. | ||
| We're going to have to continue to go after it. | ||
| We're looking at lost decades ahead of a stagflation. | ||
| Give me two minutes on your assessment of where the Fed is. | ||
| Powell admitted it. | ||
| He said, rather than transitory inflation, it's going to be a long time. | ||
| The numbers are the numbers, Steve. | ||
| The Fed target is 2%. | ||
| You got to get it down below 2 % to stop raising interest rates and lower them back down to where they should be. | ||
| Right? And we are over twice that. | ||
| And it doesn't take days to reduce inflation. | ||
| It doesn't take months. It takes years. | ||
| And the worst part of it is, through their lens, Steve, their only solution is to slow the growth. | ||
| That's the stag part of the inflation thing, right? | ||
| And to keep inflation down to suppress the wages of low- and moderate-income families, which is to say the posse And the deplorables. | ||
| That's what they're doing. | ||
| And what's missing in that whole debate, Steve, is the understanding that these are politician-induced disasters that demand poll inflation from the Biden and congressional Kevin McCarthy facilitated overspending plus the loss of strategic energy dominance to the Green New Deal. | ||
| Those are the kinds of things that are bearing down, and they expect a buffoon like Jerome Powell to solve that. | ||
| With a wave of an interest rate, it's offensive. | ||
| That was the same mistake. | ||
| I'm a student of history like you are, Steve. | ||
| It's the same mistake that was made in the 70s, and it was made by Nixon, it was made by Ford, it was made by Carter, and the only one who finally got it right was Reagan, and the only way he solved it then was to crush the economy and reset. | ||
| But it was over 10 years of this crap, and that's what we're looking forward to here. | ||
| I'm not looking forward to it, to be clear. | ||
| No, Lost Decades. How do you get to your contents, sir, or where do they go? | ||

| And look, we're trying to hold these people to account. | ||
| The Republicans in Congress right now are letting this country down. | ||
| We bet a lot on them. | ||
| Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy on down. | ||
| Thank God for Andy and Matt and Anna Polina Luna. | ||

| Take action today. I want to bring in Dave. | ||
| Dave Walsh, you called SHOT. You said they were going to put warnings out on the grid in Texas. | ||
| Tell us what's going on. Well, sure enough, yesterday about 4 on their website, ERCOT published a voluntary conservation notice warning folks that, well, ERCOT is not in emergency operations but concerned. | ||
| They hit by 449, a 79,000 megawatt peak of demand on their system, leaving only about 5,000 megawatts before they'd go critical and be short and they'd lose the grit. | ||
| So about a 6 % reserve margin. | ||
| Where, again, this argument that's been going on on the overstatement of reserve margins by ERCOT, where they say in the past they've been at a 13.5 % planning margin. | ||
| Well, yesterday was about 6%. | ||
| And owing to the fellow who runs NRG, who I mentioned, Maurizio, you know, they're running more like 6%, which is just way, way too close to the line. | ||
| You know, nationally reserve margins typically in the winter are 23%, 24%. | ||
| In the summer, 13.5%. | ||
| Actual, Texas is at 6 because of this 38,000 megawatts of wind, which, again, yesterday at 4, only 5,000 megawatts of the wind was operational because of the lack of wind. | ||
| When it gets super hot in the summer, you tend not to have any wind. | ||
| That's very normal. So the electrical load-carrying capacity of that wind in a lot of the country is counted at about 16%, because that's all you can really rely on minute by minute On average of it being there for you, because again, it's nature-based. | ||
| So this is the issue with Texas. | ||
| Massive over-absorption of wind, investors chasing subsidies, and the government letting them build and build and build without having a capacity payment structure to allow the building and base load gas plants. | ||
| And four million new folks. | ||
| Dave Walsh, if you can just hang with me. | ||
| Short break. Walsh is going to be on the other side. | ||
| Remember, Texas has become a major industrial power now. | ||
| Also, you got four million, what, illegal aliens down there. | ||
| A lot of them in the colonias, they call them. | ||
| Colonias. They hadn't planned on that. | ||
| Planners didn't think about that. | ||

| It's a hot summer in Texas, but all summers, you know, I was just doing some research into the Civil War. | ||
| General Thomas and Robert E. Lee and Albert Sidney Johnson had formed this, or Jefferson Davis, the Secretary of War, formed this elite Second Calvary Out of San Antonio, the famous seven, I think there were 16 generals in the Civil War that came in the Second Cavalry. | ||
| I was looking at what Lee and Thomas and others had done there, and the temperatures were like 115 to 130 degrees, the way they measured it. | ||
| 115 to 130 in Yuma and in parts of Texas. | ||
| So much for climate change. | ||
| Texas gets hot in the summer. | ||
| Is this grid going to make it? | ||
| Now that Texas has become a major industrial power, now that you've got four million uninvited illegal aliens there, is this grid going to make it for the summer, sir? | ||
| I think, statistically, we're headed towards a number of days, including the next few days, where we're going to be severely at risk, because the summer just began today, officially, according to our calendar. | ||
| This type of weather there is way not unusual. | ||
| All due respect to the USA Today this morning, severe, dramatic temperature rise. | ||
| The Washington Post, the same thing. | ||
| That this kind of history is endemic of the same thing scientists Referred to as global warming induced. | ||
| It's nonsense. Nationally, the utilities track the number of cooling days per year. | ||
| That's days on which air conditioning is needed nationally. | ||
| That's been very flat for about eight years running. | ||
| National temperatures have been flat for nine years running. | ||
| Sure, we have an anomaly right now. | ||
| It's warmer than usual for this date in Texas. | ||
| But, you know, it's nothing unusual in the weather. | ||
| What happens is, A stressed grid that doesn't have enough input of electrons, enough electricity coming into it being produced continuously, is stressed the most when it's super hot or super cold. | ||
| When heaters come on, when it's cold and or when it's super hot, AC is turned up to max levels, you get in late day the maximum demand for electricity. | ||
| So that's when a system that isn't robust and doesn't have enough electricity in it is challenged at the peak temperatures and the low temperatures. | ||
| That's normal. That's why you build a robust system that has reserve margins of about 23 % in the winter, maybe 16, to make sure you're never close to peak demand because this stuff has to be produced all of the time, electricity, not part-time. | ||
| So, yeah, there's going to be some challenges with Texas. | ||
| All those generals you mentioned, by the way, were Democrats. | ||
| You know that as a historian. | ||
| You're aware. By the way, 16 generals, 11 of them to the Confederacy, six to the Union. | ||
| And the best one to the Union, General Thomas, was a Virginian from Southampton, Virginia, the Raqqa Chickamauga. | ||
| Dave Walsh. Walsh, we're going to be all over this. | ||
| We want the folks in Texas to know that we're going to follow this closely. | ||
| And Dave Walsh has been all over this. | ||
| Dave, how do people get to all your content? | ||
| On Getter, at DaveWalshEnergy, and on Truth Social, the same. | ||

Thank you, Steve. Thank you, brother. | |
| Fantastic. Dave Walsh. | ||
| So much going on today. | ||
| We only get to a little bit of it. | ||
| The vote's going to take place in a while. | ||
| I've got... I've got Jordan coming in here in a moment, not Jim Jordan, from Angel Studios. | ||
| They've been on Capitol Hill all day, and so Jordan Harmon, one of the co-founders, is going to join me here in the 6 o'clock hour. | ||
| They've had a tremendous response. | ||
| This film, it's kind of the reverse end of what Lauren Boebert was talking today on her impeachment. | ||
| By the way, they've been all over Boebert. | ||
| All day. This is a waste of time. | ||
| You can't do this. It's time for action, action, action. | ||
| This is not frivolous. All the evidence is out there about the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| This is the light of fire under the Republicans. | ||
| Let me be blunt. Jim Jordan has been historically one of the best guys in the House. | ||
| He's gone missing. Judiciary is just not making it right now, and the Weaponization Committee is just not making it. | ||
| I don't know if he's not staffed. | ||
| He's got plenty of resources. | ||
| Spend the money. Spend the money. | ||
| Staff up. These are serious, serious committees. | ||
| And maybe he's bitten off more than he can chew. | ||
| Maybe he ought to turn weaponization over or something. | ||
| But today, the Durham hearing... | ||
| And you saw Durham, what a weasel he is. | ||
| He's a total weasel. Matt Gaetz laid it out. | ||
| This was an op. I told then-president-elected Trump, it's the nullification project. | ||
| It was quite evident in the hours right after he won the election. | ||
| In the early mornings of the 9th of November of 2016, there was an organized effort to nullify his election. | ||
| Just like this organized effort now to keep him when he's up by six points over Biden right now. | ||
| We're going to have Rasmussen in tomorrow morning to talk about China, talk about some of these issues, talk about President Trump where he is. | ||
| Look at this. They've now, think about it. | ||
| Look at the arc of this story. | ||
| He now has charges against him. | ||
| I think it's 536 years in prison. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| He was the unexpected one. | ||
| He's the one they never, ever, ever in a million years ever thought would arrive to take on this system. | ||
| Someone that had made and been a success inside the system but understood, given his roots in Queens, New York, of an ability to uniquely connect, uniquely connect to American working men and women. | ||
| Very unique. They never expected him. | ||
| But that's what this drama is about. | ||
| It's about the whole effort of that organized administrative state, deep state, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, all of them, and the radical, atheistic, neo-Marxist Democratic Party to stop him. | ||
| Because to stop him is to stop you. | ||
| To stop him is to stop you. | ||
| Not fade away. | ||
| Donald Trump ain't gonna fade away. | ||
| Remember, In January of 2021, if he had gone back to Mar-a-Lago and just been a good little boy, none of this would happen in the last couple of years would have happened to him. | ||
| I'm going to tell you how it's going to be. | ||
| Donald Trump's returning to the White House. | ||
| And I don't give a damn if Nancy Pelosi doesn't like it, if Shifty Schiff doesn't like it, if Merrick Garland doesn't like it, if Lisa Monica doesn't like it, if Chris Ray doesn't like it. | ||
| We're coming. We're coming. | ||
| And you are not going to like what happens to you when we're there. | ||
| So you better bring it. Bring all of it. | ||
| Bring it now. Let's just go. | ||
