The people have had a belly full of it. | |

| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Welcome to The War Room. | ||
| It's Natalie G. Winters hosting today, Tuesday, August 27th in the year of our Lord 2024. | ||
| We've got a packed show for you and frankly had a packed show for you even before the news of a new superseding indictment against President Trump from Jack Smith just dropped, I guess, about 20 minutes before the show. | ||
| I guess they knew they had to get it in before 5 p.m. | ||
| War Room starts. | ||
| We're gonna have Mike Davis joining us shortly to walk us through that. | ||
| But before we get into all of that, I'm honored today To bring on our first guest, Michael Knowles. | ||
| Now, I'm not just bringing him on because we have a trauma bond, because we've both done A, the Whatever podcast, but B, we watched Kamala Harris' DMC speech last week doing daily or live coverage for the Daily Wire. | ||
| I think you build a connection when you have to witness that and go through that. | ||
| I saw a story that made me think of you out in the Federalist today, walking through how Tim Walz in Minnesota wanted to establish basically a program, and did establish, where teachers have to be certified and comply with new regulations that they have to affirm the most radical gender ideologies of students, the most radical gender transitions, basically anything that social justice says, it's a go, and if the teachers don't do it, they won't be certified, and they won't be allowed to teach. | ||
| And you obviously, we discussed a lot about, you know, the kind of fear mongering narratives about book bans, the looming book bans that Republicans are trying to wage warfare across this country over. | ||
| And I think it's an interesting juxtaposition there, right, with what is culturally acceptable and appropriate. | ||
| To be taught in classrooms. | ||
| I don't even really cede ground to the left on discussing this and calling it book bans. | ||
| We're not trying to ban books. | ||
| We're trying to ban just degenerate material, pornography, materials that children as young as six and five shouldn't be reading. | ||
| But I'd love to just kind of get your thoughts on this story and more broadly the discourse that we've seen developing and really I think kind of increasing over book bans. | ||
| Tim Walz's decades-long obsession with pushing weird sex stuff on kids is quite disturbing. | ||
| You saw this obviously as he was pushing tampons into the fourth grade boy's bathroom. | ||
| You saw this as he was insisting that Minnesota become a sanctuary, a refuge for trans kids. | ||
| You know, leave your family's kids and come over here to Minnesota. | ||
| He wanted to turn Minnesota into the windowless white van of the Midwest and it seems that he succeeded largely at that. | ||
| And it's ironic because he's painting the Republican ticket, Trump and J.D. | ||
| Vance, as weird. | ||
| He's positioning himself as normal. | ||
| Of course, there's nothing normal about trying to turn a little boy into a little girl. | ||
| There's nothing normal about talking about all this weird sex stuff with kids. | ||
| But there you have it. | ||
| You know, he's been pushing this especially on the schools. | ||
| It is a reminder for Republicans not to take the Democrat bait. | ||
| You know, the Democrats have been arguing that Republicans want to ban books. | ||
| Tim Walz has been pushing this. | ||
| Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, was picked over for Kamala's running mate. | ||
| He pushed this at the DNC. | ||
| And I guess, you know, Republicans want to deny it and say we don't want to ban books from schools. | ||
| But I'll speak for myself at least. | ||
| I certainly do. | ||
| I don't think we should be peddling weird pornography in schools. | ||
| The kind of pornography that the left has been pushing all the way down to elementary schools. | ||
| I do want to ban those books from schools. | ||
| But, you know, the Democrats want to ban books too. | ||
| The only difference is, while the Republicans want to ban pornography from the schools, the Democrats want to ban the Bible, for instance. | ||
| And the Bible has been banned from public schools for about 70 years now. | ||
| So there's not a question of free speech versus censorship. | ||
| It's just a question of what kind of standards we're going to live under. | ||
| And this is why the transgender issue is so polarizing. | ||
| Because either a man can become a woman, or he can't. | ||
| And if he can, then I guess that's true for everybody, including kids. | ||
| And if he can't, as obviously men cannot, then we shouldn't be peddling this on kids or adults for that matter. | ||
| And you've kind of got to pick a side. | ||
| That's what elections are about. | ||
| It's about picking a side. | ||
| Are you on the side of Tim Walz and scandalizing kids and peddling weird sex stuff to everybody? | ||
| Or are you on the side of, and I'll use the word that they really like, the normal people like Donald Trump and JD Vance and the Republicans? | ||
| sort of the same, I think, legal and dictionary jujitsu that they play with, you know, misinformation | ||
| and disinformation and conspiracy theories where they don't really want to describe what | ||
| exactly the books are that we're banning, make it seem like we just want to, you know, | ||
| take out any book that wouldn't have, you know, fit under Donald Trump's 1776 project, | ||
| you know, or rather the 1619 project, right? | ||
| If it's not full-blown revisionist history, get it out of the classrooms. | ||
| But I think your personal kind of experience with this illustrates the problem perfectly. | ||
| I believe it was the University of Buffalo was just revealed today that you were added, | ||
| you know, you're a new persona non grata. | ||
| I don't know if you ever had any standing there to begin with. | ||
| I know you spoke there. | ||
| But you're apparently transphobic and they denounced you. | ||
| Can you walk the audience through just how crazy it is? | ||
| This was a strange story. | ||
| I was just informed by the Young Americas Foundation that the University of Buffalo Media Studies Department, one of their academic departments, Has a permanent denunciation of me on the homepage of their website. | ||
| This is paragraph number two. | ||
| They devote several sentences to denouncing me because I said that men and women are different. | ||
| The same topic we were just talking about. | ||
| I am not a graduate of the University of Buffalo. | ||
| I have never been employed by the University of Buffalo. | ||
| I gave a speech there one time, a year and a half ago, on a different topic, actually, but because of another speech that I gave at CPAC, now more than two years ago, this publicly funded university has devoted space on a homepage to denouncing me. | ||
| And so the story, I find it kind of funny because it involves me personally, but this is a story for every normal-minded person out there. | ||
| No matter how degraded you think American higher education has become, no matter how degraded you think our political order has become, The reality is about a hundred times worse. | ||
| This is a taxpayer-funded university in New York, and what message does this send to parents? | ||
| If you don't want your child to be mutilated, to be told that he's the opposite sex, well, I guess you have no place at the SUNY University at Buffalo. | ||
| Well, this audience knows that I was kicked out of my sorority for being transphobic at the University of Chicago. | ||
| So I guess we both have that shared scarlet letter. | ||
| We have solidarity and being disavowed by higher education institutions, which I think is a badge of honor. | ||
| But I wanna sort of bring this full circle to another story that I saw in the news cycle | ||
| that I'd love to get your take on too. | ||
| Of course, you know the Democrats deal in projection. | ||
| I always say they have the fricking DNC in Chicago. | ||
| They of course deal in the Alinsky rule of accusing the enemy of what you're guilty of. | ||
| But I think it's quite ironic for them to be pushing all this book ban nonsense | ||
| when it's just revealed yesterday in that statement, which we'll get into later in the show, | ||
| that Zuckerberg put out, right? | ||
| Saying that the White House was basically pressuring them into censoring stories about COVID-19, | ||
| pressuring them to censor the Hunter Biden hard drive story. | ||
| So it doesn't really seem to me that they take issue with banning or censorship, right? | ||
| It's just about what exactly it is they're kind of issuing those censorship diktats on. | ||
| I'm just curious to get your thoughts on the impetus behind Zuckerberg's letter and just sort of the broader implications there. | ||
| Well, we have to take ourselves back to 2016, when the Democrats were convinced that there was a 99% chance that Hillary was going to win. | ||
| And so they took their eye off the ball, specifically on social media, which is effectively the public square right now. | ||
| And the Trump campaign was excellent at social media, and they were aggressive, and they used it to their advantage. | ||
| And they won, and they weren't supposed to win. | ||
| And so not that I have a great deal of sympathy for Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
| In many ways, he's tried to flip and succeeded at flipping elections to Democrats. | ||
| But in this case, I have a little bit of sympathy for him because he was caught holding the bag. | ||
| Social media, especially Facebook, was caught holding the bag. | ||
| And the Democrats blamed these big tech platforms for not doing enough to censor Trump in 2016, for not doing enough to censor from conservatives who supported Trump in 2016. | ||
| So you saw in 2020 The government and the liberal Democrat apparatus really come down hard on the big tech platforms. | ||
| So much so that the big tech platforms then suppressed even private messaging of the Hunter Biden laptop story. | ||
| You had intelligence officials lying about the story as Russian disinformation. | ||
| We now know it was totally true. | ||
| The government has admitted it's totally true. | ||
| I think Zuckerberg is coming out right now and exposing some of this in part because he doesn't want to take the heat. | ||
| Whatever happens in November, he's going to receive some blame for it because a handful of oligarchs in Silicon Valley control the public square in a republic where speech is politics. | ||
| So I think this is really a defensive measure because no matter what happens, but especially if Trump wins again, they are going to be coming for Zuckerberg's head. | ||
| And speaking of projection, of course, there's ongoing back and forth about debates between Kamala and the Trump team. | ||
| Now it's seeming that Harris, of course, the stellar debater, she's demanding that she be able to have notes and muted mics and all these, you know, special privileges and preferences and priorities. | ||
| Although I get why she would be scared to debate Donald Trump. | ||
| But your kind of assessment, your analysis, if you think the debate is, A, going to actually happen, and just the optics of it, how you think it'll come together. | ||
| It'll happen, but I love everything that Trump is doing in the lead up, because when he says he might not debate, then he proposes these other debates that she's running away from, and then he points out the rule changes. | ||
| This is all negotiation, this is all the art of the deal, and it's shifting the narrative. | ||
| And don't forget, at the outset of Kamala's takeover of the nomination, she demanded that | ||
| Trump abide by the debate agreement that he'd come to with Joe Biden for her. | ||
| So Donald Trump never came to an agreement with Kamala Harris. | ||
| He came to an agreement with Joe Biden, the legitimate nominee of the Democrat Party. | ||
| He beat him so badly in the first debate that Biden is no longer the nominee of the party. | ||
| And Kamala said, okay, well, we want you to respect the things that you agreed to with | ||
| Biden when it comes to us. | ||
| And Trump said, well, that's kind of silly. | ||
| I never agreed to anything with you, but OK, fine, I'll do that. | ||
| And then five seconds later, Kamala says, well, except for this rule and except for this rule and except for this thing that might disadvantage me. | ||
| And so she's trying to have her cake and eat it, too. | ||
| She's trying to have it both ways. | ||
| She's only agreed to debate on ABC because ABC is so egregiously in her camp. | ||
| The chief journalist over there in politics is George Stephanopoulos, who was the chief | ||
| propagandist for the Democrats in the White House for Bill Clinton, who apparently one | ||
| of Kamala's close friends is helping to run ABC News. | ||
| And so she feels that she's gonna get every advantage there, and she's still trying to | ||
| get more advantage. | ||
| I suspect that Trump is going to debate regardless because he can beat her. | ||
| He's just simply a much better debater than she is. | ||
| She was so bad she didn't make it past or even into the first Democrat primary in 2020. | ||
| But I love the shifting of the narrative. | ||
| Now the narrative is Kamala is running away from the debate. | ||
| Kamala is changing the rules. | ||
| Kamala wants to rig it. | ||
| And that narrative happens to be true. | ||
| Yeah, I think if you can't handle Fox and you need to bring notes to a debate, you're probably not going to do too well going up against, you know, foreign meetings, whether it's the Mullahs in Iran, the Chinese Communist Party, the oligarchs in Ukraine, what's going on in the Middle East. | ||
| I think you failed the test. | ||
| Michael Knowles, if people want to follow you, get your show, even get the cigars, I know our audience will probably love Mayweather. | ||
| Where can everyone go to do that, support you and follow you? | ||
| So you can catch my show at The Daily Wire. | ||
| That's the Michael Knowles Show. | ||
| You get it wherever you get your fine podcasts. | ||
| And then I'm so glad you teed me up for that, Natalie. | ||

I love it. | |

| Michael, I'll have to have you back on soon. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us. | ||

| He's so busy we can only have him on the show on Saturdays, so make sure you reach out to him in the meantime. | ||
| We're going to cold open next. | ||
| block with sort of a CNN package walking you through like I said the latest | ||
| superseding indictment which they slightly revised to be more in line with | ||
| an earlier SCOTUS decision right of course on presidential immunity. We | ||
| joined after the break by Mike Davis to walk us through why the lawfare | ||
| seemingly isn't stopping and I'm going to walk you guys through that Zuckerberg | ||
| They sort of teed up with Michael, but I think, honestly, I'm going to take counter position to, I think, what the prevailing consensus has been in conservative media. | ||
| I actually think that this letter from Zuckerberg is actually a smoke signal and a very, very ominous sign that more censorship is ahead, particularly when it comes to election results and election integrity, because if you notice, He didn't mention that in the letter, and I'm sure this audience knows very, very well that that was probably the primary offending issue that got you deplatformed or kicked off of any meta platform, right? | ||
| They say COVID-19, they mention the Hunter Biden hard drive, but they don't talk about the irregularities of the 2020 election. | ||
| Mike Davis, after the break on the superseding indictment, we'll be right back after this short break. | ||
|

|
Major breaking news. | |
| Special counsel Jack Smith has just filed a superseding indictment in the federal election interference case against the former president Donald Trump. | ||
| Let's go straight to CNN's Caitlin Polanski. | ||
| Caitlin, this is just happening right now. | ||
| What more do we know? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| This is the special counsel's effort to get this case back on the road toward trial. | ||
| This is the January 6th federal election case in court in Washington, D.C. | ||
| against Donald Trump. | ||
| The charges, the four charges that Donald Trump has been facing for quite some time now, They're the same in this what's called a superseding indictment, so a rewritten version of the criminal charges against the former president for conspiracy and other counts related to what he did after the 2020 election. | ||
| But what the special counsel's office is saying they're doing here is they needed to go back to the grand jury, Phil. | ||
| And rewrite those charges so that they would incorporate what they need to say that's in line with what the Supreme Court told them they must do. | ||
| Remember, the Supreme Court just in June made that decision on presidential immunity, saying that some of the things in this case had to be cut out, such as things that were allegations that may be part of Donald Trump's official duties as president, especially his interactions with others below him in the administration. | ||
| So I'm still going through the superseding indictment documents that we have. | ||
| It's a 36 page document. | ||
| And so what we have here now in this filing is that there are co-conspirators listed. | ||
| But one of those people that we had before that would have been heard by many people on the jury if it had gone to trial, there would have been a lot of information about that official, Jeffrey Clark. | ||
| He's not one of the co-conspirators anymore. | ||
| He was a Justice Department official. | ||
| Now it is six different private people, five private attorneys plus a private political consultant. | ||
| Those are the people that are called co-conspirators here before the grand jury and now in this indictment against Donald Trump. | ||
| Supreme Art of War is to subdue the enemy without fighting, of course, that Sun Tzu axiom in reference to kinetic warfare, but I think if you apply it to the Trump political campaign and the Trump family more broadly, the Supreme Act of War is to subdue the enemy with lawfare, and I think we're seeing that on full display right now. | ||
| Mike Davis, I think we got you down the line. | ||
| Walk us through what, in CNN speak, please translate it to the actual truth and reality of what's going on here. | ||
| So Jack Smith has become the Freddy Krueger of this lawfare against President Trump. | ||
| He keeps getting destroyed and coming back to life. | ||
| This is like Look, the Supreme Court has already ruled in the Fisher decision that the Biden-Kamala Justice Department illegally politicized, weaponized, contorted a post-Enron obstruction of justice statute to go after corporate fraud that Biden and Kamala used to go after their political enemies. | ||
| Those are two of the four charges Two of the four counts in this superseding indictment, like before. | ||
| So Jack Smith still included these obstruction charges that the Supreme Court said are bogus, right? | ||
| Jack Smith is going to face another hurdle, which is presidential immunity. | ||
| Jack Smith filed this superseding indictment. | ||
| President Trump presumably will move to get rid of these charges again under presidential immunity. | ||
| And then I think this goes back to D.C. | ||
| Obama Judge Tanya Shutkin, and she's going to have to decide what President Trump did in his official capacity and the outer perimeter of his official capacity under the Nixon case. | ||
| That decision is immediately appealable to the D.C. | ||
| Circuit, so that will take several months. | ||
| That decision is appealable if the Supreme Court decides to take it to the Supreme Court of the United States. | ||
| The bottom line is there's no chance in hell that President Trump is going to be tried before the election. | ||
| Presumably, Trump's going to win so long as his supporters get out and vote as early as possible and not wait till Election Day. | ||
| And then, I hope, And I will push President Trump on day one to fire Jack Smith and to open a probe on Jack Smith for this obvious criminal conspiracy against President Trump to violate his constitutional rights. | ||
| One of the charges that's in this indictment against Trump. | ||
| So what do you make of the timeline of this case? | ||
| And if you think it doesn't really have any merit, you know, why are they even bringing it? | ||
| Is it something that they're more concerned about the court of public opinion or what's sort of the driving factor here? | ||
| It's obvious Biden-Kamala Democrat lawfare and election interference. | ||
| What I think Jack Smith is trying to do is get Tanya Shuckin, D.C. | ||
| Obama judge Tanya Shuckin, a total partisan hack who just got reversed by the Supreme Court on presidential immunity. | ||
| I think they're going to try to rush and have a mini trial, an evidentiary hearing on presidential immunity between now and the presidential election. | ||
| I think Jack Smith That's the goal is to interfere in the election with this mini trial on presidential immunity because Jack Smith has to know that he's not going to be able to try Trump before the election. | ||
| So this is Freddy Krueger, Jack Smith's last attempt to try to take out Trump before the presidential election. | ||
| And of course, House Republicans have done virtually nothing, I know we may disagree a little bit there, to help combat this. | ||
| But Mike Davis, if people want to follow you, support what you guys got going on at the Article 3 project, where can they go to do all that? | ||
| Well, I'd say House Republicans have done a lot. | ||
| They funded Jack Smith. | ||
| And so you can go to article3project.org, article number 3project.org. | ||
| You can donate there. | ||
| You can take action there. | ||
| You can follow us on social media. | ||
| And again, Jack Smith is Freddy Krueger. | ||
| He's not going away, and neither is the Article 3 Project. | ||
| It's like that crazy ex you just can't get rid of. | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| Now Warren Posse, I want to walk you guys through this Mark Zuckerberg letter because like I said, I think there are a lot of smoke signals contained in this letter that we should not merely applaud and say, oh this is so great, Mark Zuckerberg has certainly come around and finally he's on our side and he thinks government censorship is wrong and now he's seen the light. | ||
| On the origins of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines. | ||
| I don't think that that is the case. | ||
| And frankly, even if that were, even if Mark Zuckerberg had had his red pill moment where | ||
| he suddenly reversed course on all the horrible policy decisions that MEDEA has been plaguing | ||
| this country with for years over a decade. | ||
| Why would he do it now after the Telegram CEO was just arrested in Paris, right? | ||
| Sort of odd timing. | ||
| And why would he do it, as Mike Davis just discussed a few minutes ago, when the Biden regime is cracking down on anyone and everyone who dares to express anything short of fealty to them, especially when it comes to issues that are so sensitive as censorship and the Praetorian Guard that they have set up to run cover, not just for Hunter Biden, but for the entire scam that they have up going on at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. | ||
| Now, there are some buried leads, I think, in this article that is important to go through. | ||
| I encourage everyone to actually read the statement that Mark Zuckerberg put out. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| When they talk about COVID-19, they don't actually specify if they're talking about origins of COVID-19 stories, mask mandates, the efficacy of vaccines, right? | ||
| It's just sort of a limited hangout in the sense that they think, well, if we just say COVID-19, we'll let them take that Is whatever they may think it may be, they'll construe it, they'll give us the most, you know, meaningful and I think gracious interpretation of that as possible. | ||
| But in reality, I don't see anything in this letter coming down, cracking down specifically about what they did on COVID-19 vaccines or the efficacy of mask mandates. | ||
| Now, the other interesting thing, they of course get into the Hunter Biden hard drive, that's sort of the third paragraph in the letter. | ||
| But there's nothing about the censorship of the 2020 stolen election. | ||
| There's nothing about people who I'm sure you guys in this audience, your accounts that were banned, censored, basically unpersoned for daring to question the integrity of the 2020 election results. | ||
| Absolutely nothing in there about that. | ||
| And that leads me to, I think, my point, which is this letter, which I think is a similar tactic we've seen, whether it's with the pandemic preparedness guys like Peter Daszak at EcoHealth Alliance, trying to make an example out of people like him, whether when they started to wheel out, whether it was, you know, Chris Cuomo or Dr. Ashish Jha, Biden's COVID-19 response coordinator, on the media saying, oh, actually, we're going to take your COVID-19 vaccine claims seriously. | ||
| I'm sure just in time for the next pandemic. | ||
| Oh, wait, we just had new COVID boosters announced yesterday. | ||
| Right, but it's very interesting because I think this article lays the predicate for Facebook to now say, what do you mean? | ||
| The way we're censoring stuff is in line with the First Amendment. | ||
| We're not coordinating with the government. | ||
| In reality, it's projection because I bet the Biden regime is already relaunching and re-upping their efforts, reaching out to Meta and every other social media platform to get ready to crack down ahead of the 2024 election. | ||
| That's why they don't explicitly mention it in this article. | ||
| And that's why they put out this letter in the first place, right? | ||
| They're slowly anesthetizing us to the crimes, the crimes, I use that word intentionally, that they committed in 2020, trying to do a little bit of a mea culpa, a little bit of a limited hangout. | ||
| But it doesn't work. | ||
| And I think the other buried lead and almost the more concerning thing, that even if you take this letter at face value, You guys know that Meta, Facebook, Instagram, all these platforms, they are the bread and butter of human traffickers and especially illegal border smugglers, right? | ||
| This is how they coordinate it, that and TikTok, but we're focusing on Meta right now. | ||
| You're telling me that the White House has time to reach out and censor stories about COVID-19, vaccines, mandates or the origins of it, but they don't care and they're turning a blind eye to human trafficking? | ||
| And the facilitation of sex trafficking of minors across the southern border? | ||
| Because that's essentially, if you take this letter at face value, that's what it means. | ||
| The White House has enough resources and time to put together, compile people to make sure that you're censored for saying the COVID-19 vaccine didn't work. | ||
| But they don't care enough to do anything about human trafficking, which I guess is fitting for the Biden regime. | ||
| They were after all the ones who erased the DOJ's kind of subheading and subsection on combating child trafficking, as I reported a few years ago. | ||
| So I guess that would sort of check. | ||
| But I think this letter is actually very concerning because they're laying the predicate that Facebook censorship should not be viewed as something that is inherently political. | ||
| So when they start cracking down on your posts about the 2024 election, they will point to this letter and say, look, we disavowed. | ||
| We're not working with the White House anymore. | ||
| This is coming uniquely and organically from us. | ||
| There's no collusion here. | ||
| Why would Mark Zuckerberg put this letter out otherwise? | ||
| Even if he, like I said, took the red pill, sees the truth, is going to come out and support Trump, maybe there's a whistleblower coming, who knows? | ||
| Why would he do it now when he knows the Biden regime would just come after him? | ||
| He knows he has protected, he's part of the protected class, right? | ||
| The regime protects its own. | ||
| So it's only natural that House Republicans would refer to this letter as, quote, a huge win on Twitter. | ||
| Yet no thanks to you guys, and that shows how dumb and feckless you guys are. | ||
| And if that's what you think winning is, then no wonder why you guys probably didn't do anything to overturn the 2020 stolen election, because that's about as legitimate of a win as this letter is. | ||
| We'll be right back after this short break. | ||
| Going through this letter some more. | ||

| But just to conclude my thoughts before we bring our next guest on, on this Mark Zuckerberg letter, because like I said, this is very important because it is a, not even a smoke signal, it is an in-your-face sign that they're getting ready to do this again ahead of the 2024 election. | ||
| This is how dumb, and I use that word in the most intellectual way possible, House Republicans are tweeting out, Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things. | ||
| Biden-Harris admin pressured Facebook to censor Americans. | ||
| Facebook censored Americans. | ||
| Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story. | ||
| Big win for free speech. | ||
| Now, frankly, this actually makes sense because if House Republicans think that a big win or a victory is a strongly worded letter, I guess that'd be on-brand and maybe in some ways cultural appropriation for what House Republicans are used to doing, but I don't know about you. | ||
| If Mark Zuckerberg actually colluded with the federal government to deprive American | ||
| citizens of their First Amendment rights, that's crime. | ||
| And you should be treated accordingly. | ||
| You shouldn't get a free pass with a weakly worded letter that I would say at best is | ||
| an opening bid that you can beg for our forgiveness, but you're not going to get it. | ||
| There are lasting ramifications for the debates that you stifled and censored, intentionally, | ||
| might I add. | ||
| If it were all the crazy woke engineers that you employ at Facebook, they would have done | ||
| Even without the urging or demanding from the Biden White House. | ||
| So I get it, you're trying to pass the blame. | ||
| But I think the question is why you're trying to pass the blame right now, and it makes no sense in coordination with what happened with Pavel Durov, right? | ||
| Why you'd be sticking your neck out and going against a regime that just re-upped a superseding indictment against President Trump. | ||
| But the most important part of this letter is the last paragraph. | ||
| Where Zuckerberg gets into the 2020 election spending. | ||
| And he says, I made these contributions through the Chan Zuckerberg initiative. | ||
| They were designed to be nonpartisan, spread across urban, rural, and suburban communities. | ||
| Still, despite the analyses I've seen showing otherwise, I know that some people believe this work benefited one party over the other. | ||
| My goal is to be neutral and not play a role one way or another, or even to appear to be playing a role. | ||
| So you want to pump nearly $1 billion into our election administration, and you think the best apology—oh, sorry, that's hailed by House Republicans as a big win—that you're going to give the American people? | ||
| Is one like sixth grade level English paragraph apologizing? | ||
| And by the way, the analyses that you're citing, you can't even put them in the paper. | ||
| You can't even give us a footnote linking to any of this analysis. | ||
| Oh, that's because they don't exist. | ||
| Because every analysis, every rundown of the hundreds of millions of dollars that you gave to groups that have just rebranded and are still at work in the 2024 election. | ||
| They all went to Democratic districts, and I'm not even talking like a plurality, or 60%, or 70%, or 80%, or even 90%. | ||
| I'm talking 99. | ||
| In some cases, 98%. | ||
| So sorry, House Republicans. | ||
| It's not a big win that Mark Zuckerberg gave us a low-class—by the way, the last paragraph, so you can see how important that was—mention saying, yeah, sorry I rigged the 2020 election. | ||
| I'm not going to do it again. | ||
| I don't want to look like I have partisan politics. | ||
| And of course, House Republicans would hail it as a big win, because you guys have done absolutely nothing on any front, not even talking the Biden impeachment inquiry. | ||
| Stopped holding my breath a long time ago on that one. | ||
| It's absolutely shameful that they would call this a big win. | ||
| It's not a big win until Mark Zuckerberg is in jail, along with all these other tech CEOs who have deprived you of your First Amendment rights on a myriad and litany of issues that aren't included in this letter. | ||
| So, no offense, not a big win, maybe for the tech lobbyists in D.C., but short of that, I don't think it's a big win for the American people. | ||

Jim Jordan, respectfully. | |
| Now, to move on to something that also gets me equally passionate, which is, of course, the just decimation of American manufacturing jobs intentionally by design. | ||
| Someone who saw that up close and personal is, of course, Joanna Miller. | ||
| She worked very closely with Peter Navarro in the White House. | ||
| Now, Joanna, you sort of brought to my attention that there's some collusion going on between Mexico. | ||
| Of course, the Chinese are always in on it. | ||
| But trying to take even more factory jobs away from American workers, in the Biden White | ||
| House, the regime is just basically writing carte blanche checks to let them do whatever | ||
| they want. | ||
| Can you walk the audience through the latest on the kind of domestic policy, domestic manufacturing | ||
| front? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Natalie, first of all, I'd never want to get on your bad side after that monologue. | |
| China and Mexico are indeed colluding together to further rip us off on trade. | ||
| With this weak administration and weak Vice President Harris running for president now, they smell blood. | ||
| China is building a large industrial park in Mexico. | ||
| This plant is going to grow from 10 companies to 35 companies. | ||
| It's going to employ 15,000 workers. | ||
| And you as a China expert know, when China arrives in any country and starts building industrial parks and setting up shop, they bring their workers there. | ||
| They use all Chinese workers and they do nothing for the local economies. | ||
| And because China is setting up in Mexico, They are fully in compliance with the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that President Trump established during his term, and they can freely export goods to the United States. | ||
| And this is stuff like construction equipment, furniture, and even steel. | ||
| Both Mexican companies and Chinese companies have been illegally dumping steel into the | ||
| United States. | ||
| And we have steel companies like Zeckelman Industries, one of the largest privately owned | ||
| steel companies in the US. | ||
| They just shut down in Long Beach, California. | ||
| Hundreds of workers were laid off. | ||
| China was caught by Biden's Department of Commerce for ripping the steel workers off | ||
| on trade and dumping steel into the United States at unfair prices. | ||
| And they put Wyarton Cleveland Cliffs Steel out of business in West Virginia. | ||
| Biden's Commerce Department caught this activity. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| International Trade Commission court shut it down and said, nope, we're not going to actually allow tariffs to be invoked on China for this. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Biden did nothing about it. | ||
| Biden most recently had a nice little chat with Mexico saying, hey, listen, you should limit your exports to the United States. | ||
| But still, nothing has changed. | ||
| And now, Natalie, even worse. | ||
| Not many people know about this. | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is building a steel factory near Pittsburgh, our U.S. | ||
| steel capital of the country, and they're using all their Chinese workers as a Chinese front company, and they lied to our government about being American-owned and operated. | ||
| You can't make this stuff up, and it's only going to get worse if we elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz with all of their China connections. | ||
| Yeah, and I mean, all the companies, especially the American automobile ones that Hunter Biden was involved in negotiating the mergers and acquisitions with, they all outsourced the jobs to China. | ||
| I think it was Avic Industries, right? | ||
| It's par for the course with that family. | ||
| But I'm just curious how you think that plays more broadly with the economy. | ||
| Obviously, the Harris team is trying to do a rebrand, acting like they're all America first when it comes to anything, you know, fiscal policy. | ||
| Of course, I don't think people will buy it. | ||
| But can you just give us some kind of more examples, maybe drill down on that Pittsburgh example a bit more, just how backwards their policies truly are? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, absolutely. | |
| These policies, the radical Green New Deal agenda is sending inflation through the roof. | ||
| And if you do a quick Google, manufacturing plants that are shutting down in X state, It doesn't take long to find out that each state has tons of manufacturing and energy companies that are going out of commission. | ||
| This is affecting our coal plants. | ||
| By 2026, we're expected to lose half of our coal power generating capacity, while China's building a coal plant every day, it seems like. | ||
| And if you look at the recent jobs report, there were about a million jobs that never existed in the economy. | ||
| If you put that in, there's a downward adjustment of 115,000 manufacturing jobs. | ||
| Manufacturing companies typically employ about 200 workers each. | ||
| So that's about 460 companies worth of jobs that just didn't exist apparently in the last year. | ||
| And it's just telling of what the future will bring if we elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. | ||
| They have globalist trade policies. | ||
| They've got sketchy allegiances to China, more jobs are going to be shipped overseas, and countries like Mexico and China are going to continue to cheat on trade without fear of ramification for what it's going to do to our relationship, to our mutual US and whatever country trade relationship, because Kamala Harris is doing nothing about it. | ||
| There has not been a national security review of the plant being set up in Pittsburgh. | ||
| How is that even possible? | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party is taking over our steel industry, which we use for our military. | ||
| Steel is used for our border wall, and we're allowing it to happen on our home turf, | ||
| and it's completely unacceptable. | ||
| And when President Trump comes back, we're gonna invoke universal baseline tariffs, | ||
| we're gonna attract domestic investment in our manufacturing industry, | ||
| and we're gonna make sure that our factories stay here in America for our national security | ||
| and economic prosperity. | ||
| And walk us through, I mean, I always say food security is national security too, | ||
| but there's some new data coming out of agricultural economists saying | ||
| that over half the numbers are insane. | ||
| Farmers feel like we're already in a recession or barreling towards one. | ||
| Can you walk us through how that sector has been plagued by similarly abysmal policies too? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Well, if you look at Virginia, one of our largest agriculture producing states, Tyson Foods, which we see in our grocery stores, just shut down its largest poultry processing facility in Virginia. | ||
| They laid off 700 workers. | ||
| What's the definition of a recession? | ||
| A decline in economic activity over a given period of time, and especially looking at indicators like GDP and production. | ||
| Our production of agriculture is declining all over the place. | ||
| Pork production and the pork industry had its lowest profits in about 20 years. | ||
| How is that even possible? | ||
| The agriculture industry is suffering. | ||
| And going back to the Tyson Foods example, the Virginia state government has had to set up a new financial incentive program for Virginia's farmers because they can't sell to Tyson Foods anymore. | ||
| These plant closures are affecting everybody. | ||
| And it's not just metal manufacturing, steel workers. | ||
| It's our food. | ||
| It's our agriculture processors. | ||
| So this economy is tanking. | ||
| And Kamala Harris is absolutely responsible, but if we get to the ballot box, we elect Donald Trump, we secure our elections, we are going to rescue all these industries and make sure they are made great again. | ||
| And Trump's track record on all these issues, whether it's trade, China, I mean it's unparalleled. | ||
| Like I was saying, you worked with Peter Navarro, you were in the room when a lot of these policies were being crafted. | ||
| Make your case for why you think President Trump is able to reverse what is this truly precipitous decline, managed accelerated decline, I think that's the stage we're at, that we've witnessed under Kamala and Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Well, if you look at President Trump's tariffs, Kamala Harris is branding them as Trump taxes. | ||
| When did we ever complain about inflation during the Trump administration when we had tariffs on $350 billion worth of Chinese goods? | ||
| Trump is the blue-collar billionaire. | ||
| He has an ability to understand why an industrial base is vital for economic and national security. | ||
| Our military got the largest contract ever to make sure that we were Battle ready, but not entering foreign wars. | ||
| We had a strong leader who cared about our industrial base and our tariffs produced billions in domestic investment. | ||
| Ford and General Motors, they were expanding rapidly in places like Michigan. | ||
| We're going to make sure that happens once again. | ||
| And prevent companies like Ford, who is now leaving the country and going to set up shop in Mexico. | ||
| It's going to be unacceptable, just as President Trump did before our steel industry. | ||
| President Trump was the only president in decades to create thousands of steel jobs. | ||
| Biden is tanking the steel industry again. | ||
| And many presidents before President Trump, there was like a downward progression in steel production. | ||
| So we're going to make sure that happens once again and reinstate all of President Trump's Buy American policies. | ||
| Joanna, if people want to follow you, check out everything you're working on. | ||
| Where can they go to do all that? | ||

Joanna M. Wisher. | |
| I'm on Truth, Getter, and Twitter. | ||
| That's Joanna M. Wisher. | ||
| And thank you so much for having me, Natalie. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| As always, thank you for coming on the show. | ||
| I wouldn't want to be on your bad side either. | ||
| Thank you so much, Joanne. | ||
| We'll see you soon. | ||
| Fun fact, Tim Walz was an ardent supporter of going after Trump's tariffs when it came. | ||
| I think he actually went on a delegation overseas to Japan to try to kind of subvert him on the global stage and say, I don't know what he's doing. | ||
| These are crazy policies. | ||
| We don't back them. | ||
| I guess that's what America Last policy looks like in the flesh. | ||
| We'll be right back after this short break. | ||

I guess as a follow-up on Scott's question, you're sitting in these hearings with prosecutors and judges at the courthouse down the street. | |
| They're increasingly expressing concerns about the upcoming transfer of power and the potential danger of another January 6th. | ||
| Do you share those concerns at all? | ||
| I think our prosecutions have made clear what we think about people who try to interfere with the Peaceful transfer of power, which is essential and fundamental element of our democracy. | ||
| I quibble about whether we have 1,500 or slightly less than 1,500, but we have way more than 1,400 now prosecutions. | ||
| We have a substantial number of convictions. | ||
| I think that's shown to everybody how seriously we take an effort to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. | ||
| The last January 6th, The coming January 6th and every January 6th after that. | ||
| I want to make clear to anybody who is thinking about interfering with that, they can see what we've done with respect to the January 6th prosecutions and the Justice Department will continue to protect our democracy. | ||
| They're getting ready. | ||
| They're gearing up to do what they did for the 2020 election in 2024. | ||
| I think that dovetails quite nicely with the ominous warning I gave you about that Zuckerberg letter. | ||
| They're getting their censorship and, of course, their domestic lawfare apparatus in place and ready to roll out. | ||
| And someone who's been on the receiving end of that, not just Stephen K. Bannon or Peter Navarro, is Jeff Clark, who joins us by phone now, who was removed as a co-conspirator, I gather, from the superseding indictment. | ||
| Jeff, if you want to sort of walk the audience through First of all, just what that means generally, but why you think this is happening, and as Julie Kelly had pointed out in a tweet, where do you go to get your reputation back after what they've done to you despite removing you now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a very good question, Natalie, and that's a historic reference back to, I believe it was the Labor Secretary Donovan in the Reagan administration, but I could have the wrong name, who was put through the ringer and then eventually got through it okay, but not until after his reputation was damaged. | |
| So that's what Julie's referring to there. | ||
| So look, here's the new development for today. | ||
| Jack Smith, who is never say die and seems to pursue President Trump like Inspector Javert, has gotten another indictment against President Trump, a superseding indictment, which he got from a new grand jury. | ||
| And I think the reason why he got a new grand jury is because he knew if he went back to the old grand jury, even if it could be reconstituted, the argument would be that it was tainted by hearing evidence that violated the July 1st Trump v. U.S. | ||
| immunity decision and a decision has in it not just a whole scheme of immunity, which I've described before on the war | ||
| also an evidence exclusionary rule that says that basically | ||
| things that are occurring inside the executive branch are not the kind of thing that can be aired in court against | ||
| President Trump and And so a lot of the prior indictment, a lot of what the first grand jury heard inevitably would have been evidence that violated the evidence exclusionary rule in the Trump decision. | ||
| So that posed a quandary for Jack Smith and he had to pull that stuff out. | ||
| And then he went to a different grand jury, I suppose, so that he can argue that they, you know, were entirely untainted by hearing any of the prohibited evidence. | ||
| And the indictment, therefore, that's been issued is basically the same indictment. | ||
| I'm going to read it carefully tonight. | ||
| You know, calls, etc., have been coming in fast and furious. | ||
| But it looks like it's just been slimmed down to take away things that they think obviously walk into the Trump exclusionary rule or into different categories of immunity. | ||
| The indictment kind of shed nine pounds, nine pages, I should say, or nine pounds. | ||
| And, you know, it's another election interference tactic to slap Trump right before we really get into the height of campaign season with the debate coming up in less than two weeks at this point. | ||
| And Jeff, we're up against the end of the show, so I've got to let you go, but if people want to follow you on Twitter, get up to date on everything that's happening, where can they go to do that? | ||

| Thanks, Sally. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| By the way, you know what I just realized? | ||
| The buried lead, the true signal not noise of this superseding indictment that was just dropped against President Trump. | ||
| What historical, historic event happened yesterday? | ||
| It was the independent congressional investigation and sort of task force hearing at the Heritage Foundation into the assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| The same assassination attempt, the same people in the same breath said that we needed to push for unity, i.e. | ||
| claw back all the populist gains we've had in the Republican Party. | ||
| In the same breath, they have the nerve to put out a superseding indictment against President Donald J. Trump less than 24 hours after That hearing, that task force, that visit to what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, less than 24 hours after that happened. | ||
| That's what these people think of you. | ||
| You think Mark Zuckerberg had a change of heart and he's not going to censor you? | ||
| That these Democrats, Kamala Harris, aren't going to push for more lawfare charges less than 24 hours after hearing on an assassination attempt against that very same individual, that America's first hero and patriot? | ||
| That's what we're dealing with. |
