Pretty gosh darn bullish. | |
| Their numbers, their chances have been rising. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard, specifically to be the national intel director, she's up to get this, a 92% chance. | ||
| A week ago, she was closer to 52%, but some Republican senators have come out, like Susan Collins, in support of her chances. | ||
| Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the HHS secretary, he's up to 82%. | ||
| Again, that is also higher than it was a week ago. | ||
| At this particular point, the two most controversial picks remaining for Donald Trump seem to see their prospects going through the roof at this hour. | ||
| What about the field, as it were? | ||
| What about the field? | ||
| So the remaining picks, chance of Trump's picks being confirmed, the average besides Gabbard and RFK, you can't really get much higher than 99%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100%. | |
| So, look, there's a chance, I guess, you know, a one in a million, basically, or a one in 100 in this particular case, that one of the remaining picks do not get confirmed. | ||
| But the bottom line at this hour is RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard looked likely to be confirmed, and the rest of the field looked really, really, really likely to be confirmed. | ||
| So, in the end, although we're not there yet, but imagine for a second we were at the end here, looking back on all of Donald Trump's nominations, some of which were very controversial. | ||
| How did he do in terms of getting them through? | ||
| Yeah, you know, Matt Gaetz obviously decided... | ||
| War Room is Tuesday for February, the year of our Lord, 2025. We're going to go to the White House. | ||
| There's a press conference going on with Bibi Netanyahu and the President of the United States. | ||
| Let's go ahead and take it to the White House. | ||
| We're going to watch this in the entire... | ||
| You can't forget it. | ||
| And some people want to put it out of their memory, but we're not going to ever let that happen. | ||
| It was a horrible day, October 7th. | ||
| That was a horrible... | ||
| That was a horrible period of time. | ||
| And a lot of people like to pretend it didn't happen. | ||
| It happened. | ||
| It's a big group of people that like to pretend it didn't happen. | ||
| Like the Holocaust didn't happen. | ||
| Same mindset. | ||
| And now we're going to get this thing wrapped up and we're going to get it done. | ||
| We're also dealing, I think, very successfully with Russia, Ukraine. | ||
| We're going to hopefully get that one done at some point in the not too distant future. | ||
| That's a complex problem also. | ||
| But we solve problems. | ||
| You know, when I left, we had no problem. | ||
| There was no Ukraine and Russia fighting. | ||
| There was no October 7th. | ||
| There was nothing. | ||
| And some very poor leadership led to a lot of problems and a lot of death. | ||
| And it's a shame, but we'll put it out. | ||
| We'll put out the fires. | ||
| We have a lot of fires, but we'll put them out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like the peace plan you presented in January 2020, is this plan still on the table? | |
| Well, a lot of plans change with time and a lot of death has occurred since I left and now came back. | ||
| This death occurred not while I was here, but while somebody else was here. | ||
| It shouldn't have happened. | ||
| They shouldn't have allowed it to happen. | ||
| It would have never happened. | ||
| And that includes Russia. | ||
| Ukraine would have never happened. | ||
| Not even a little bit, not even a chance. | ||
| But now we are faced with a situation that's different, in some ways better and in some ways worse. | ||
| But we're faced with a very complex and difficult situation, but we'll solve the problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, if you're expecting to get from Gaza, if not Jordan, Egypt, what other countries you think might accept Palestinians from Gaza? | |
| Well, I think Jordan and Egypt will, I know they've spoken about it with you and they say they're not going to accept it. | ||
| I say they will. | ||
| But I think other countries will accept also. | ||
| I think that Gaza maybe is a demolition site right now. | ||
| If you look at Gaza, it's all, I mean, it's hardly a building standing. | ||
| And the ones that are are going to collapse. | ||
| You can't live in Gaza right now. | ||
| And I think we need another location. | ||
| I think it should be a location that's going to make people happy. | ||
| You look over the decades, it's all death in Gaza. | ||
| This has been happening for years. | ||
| It's all death. | ||
| If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people permanently in nice homes and where they can be happy and not be shot, not be killed, not be knifed to death like what's happening in Gaza. | ||
| And right now you have in Gaza a very dangerous situation in terms of explosives all over the place, in terms of tunnels that nobody knows who's in the tunnel. | ||
| The whole thing is a mess. | ||
| And I think that if we can resettle, and I believe we can do it. | ||
| In areas where the leaders currently say no. | ||
| I mean, I've been saying that with Mexico having to do with the border and all of the things. | ||
| And you saw what happened. | ||
| 10,000 soldiers. | ||
| And they're going to do a good job. | ||
| I really believe that. | ||
| And I believe Canada is going to do a good job also. | ||
| They said the same thing. | ||
| And then they did something much different than what you were hearing. | ||
| This is a very, very difficult situation. | ||
| But we're going to get it solved. | ||
| I don't think people should be going back to Gaza. | ||
| I think that... | ||
| Gaza has been very unlucky for them. | ||
| They've lived like hell. | ||
| They lived like you're living in hell. | ||
| Gaza is not a place for people to be living. | ||
| And the only reason they want to go back, and I believe this strongly, is because they have no alternative. | ||
| What's the alternative? | ||
| Go where? | ||
| There's no other alternative. | ||
| If they had an alternative, they'd much rather not go back to Gaza and live in a beautiful alternative that's safe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. Perth? | |
| No. | ||
| No. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza if they left while the rebuilding was happening? | |
| It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to return. | ||
| Why would they want to return? | ||
| The place has been hell. | ||
| It's been one of the meanest, toughest places on earth. | ||
| And right now, I've seen every picture from every angle better than if I were there. | ||
| And nobody can live there. | ||
| You can't live there. | ||
| So if we can build them through massive amounts of money, supplied by other people, very rich nations, and they're willing to supply it. | ||
| If we can build something for them in one of the countries, and it could be Jordan, it could be Egypt, it could be other countries, and you could build four or five or six areas. | ||
| It doesn't have to be one area. | ||
| But you take certain areas and you build really good Quality housing, like a beautiful town, like someplace where they can live and not die, because Gaza is a guarantee that they're going to end up dying. | ||
| The same thing's going to happen again. | ||
| It's happened over and over again, and it's going to happen again as sure as you're standing there, Peter. | ||
| So I hope that we could do something where they wouldn't want to go back. | ||
| Who would want to go back? | ||
| They've experienced nothing but death and destruction. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What will you do then? | |
| What will you do then? | ||
| Well, I don't think they're going to tell me now. | ||
| I think they're going to tell Biden no, and I think they're going to tell other people no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you think it will happen at the end? | |
| I think there's a good chance. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How many people are you thinking about? | |
| All of them. | ||
| I mean, we're talking about probably a million seven people, a million seven, maybe a million eight. | ||
| But I think all of them, I think they'll be resettled in areas where they can live a beautiful life and not be worried about dying every day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, do you support building Jewish settlements back in Gaza in the next years? | |
| Say it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Building Jewish settlements back in Gaza in the next year, do you support this idea? | |
| I don't see it happening. | ||
| It's too dangerous for people. | ||
| Nobody can go there. | ||
| It's too dangerous. | ||
| Nobody wants to be there. | ||
| Warriors don't want to be there. | ||
| Soldiers don't want to be there. | ||
| How can you have people go back? | ||
| You're saying go back into Gaza now? | ||
| The same thing's going to happen. | ||
| It'll only be death. | ||
| The best way to do it is you go out and you get beautiful. | ||
| Open areas with the sunlight coming through. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are not going to want to go back to Gaza. | |
| Prime Minister, what is your message to the families of the hostages that look at this deal, they're worried that this deal won't go through. | ||
| What do you say to them at this moment? | ||
| Same message I said from the beginning of the war. | ||
| We'll get them out, get them back. | ||
| We got over 70%, close to 75% of the people. | ||
| Who everybody believed will not get out. | ||
| We got them in successive deals. | ||
| And most recently, with the help of President Trump, we're not going to give up on any of them, and we're not going to give up on our other war aims. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hamas is not going to beat in Gaza, and we're going to get everyone back. | |
| And you would not have... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Prime Minister, how optimistic are you about reaching phase two of the ceasefire? | |
| How optimistic are you about that happening? | ||
| Well, we're going to try. | ||
| That's one of the reasons, one of the things we're going to talk about here. | ||
| You know, when Israel and the United States work together, and President Trump and I work together, you know, the chances go up a lot. | ||
| It's when we don't work together, Israel and the United States don't work together, that creates problems. | ||
| When the other side sees daylight between us and occasionally in the last few years, to put it mildly, they saw daylight, then it's more difficult. | ||
| When we cooperate, chances are good. | ||
| Say it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now that Iran is so weak, isn't it the right time to hit the nuclear facilities once and for all? | |
| So you say Iran is so weak. | ||
| I appreciate you saying that. | ||
| They're not weak. | ||
| They're very strong right now. | ||
| And we're not going to allow them to have a nuclear weapon. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| You know, I signed a very strong proclamation. | ||
| Iran was in big trouble when I left. | ||
| They were broke. | ||
| They didn't have money for Hamas. | ||
| They didn't have any money for Hezbollah. | ||
| You had no problem. | ||
| October 7th could have never happened. | ||
| When I left, October 7th could have never happened. | ||
| And frankly, Russia and Ukraine, as I said, could never have happened. | ||
| They became very strong, very fast. | ||
| They sold massive amounts of oil to China and everybody else who would not buy the oil when I was president because we said, don't buy the oil. | ||
| And they became very rich very quickly. | ||
| But they're not weak. | ||
| They're not weak. | ||
| They're strong. | ||
| Doesn't mean they won't be weak. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| We just don't want them to have a nuclear weapon. | ||
| They can't have a nuclear weapon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Prime Minister wants you to strike Iran. | |
| That's what he wants. | ||
| You don't know what he wants. | ||
| What do you know about anything? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is that option on the table? | |
| President Trump, is that option on the table? | ||
| You're not just talking about Jordan and Egypt. | ||
| No, it could be other places, too. | ||
| There are many people that have reached out, many countries, many leaders of countries that have reached out that would like to participate in that. | ||
| It doesn't have to be Jordan and Egypt, but I think it would be also them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, your relationship with Mr. Netanyahu knew ups and downs. | |
| How would you describe it right now? | ||
| No, I think it's mostly ups. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, what about the Palestinian Authority? | |
| Should we prove that, because Gaza will be empty? | ||
| What? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Palestinian Authority. | |
| Can it rule Gaza? | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Well, it's had a pretty hard time, wouldn't you say? | ||
| I'd say it's had a pretty bad time of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. President, Qatar has... | |
| You've criticized them in the past as a funder of terrorism, so does the Prime Minister. | ||
| Do you think they're part of the solution or part of a problem moving forward? | ||
| I think they're trying to help. | ||
| Qatar is absolutely trying to help. | ||
| I know them very well, and they're doing everything they can. | ||
| Very tough situation, but... | ||
| They're absolutely trying to help. | ||
| Okay, thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Welcome back. | |
| Let's keep the camera on there. | ||
| Keep the camera on there. | ||
| So they have a pre-meeting. | ||
| Then the president normally has a press avail. | ||
| He invites people in so you can see in front of the crackling fire. | ||
| Now, correct me if I'm wrong, I think there's supposed to be a formal press conference after this. | ||
| I'm looking at my producer. | ||
| There's a formal press conference. | ||
| Yeah, okay, fine. | ||
| So Netanyahu was supposed to show up at 4. President Trump has a tendency he always wants for the photo op, and then he'll take questions. | ||
| He took questions right there. | ||
| They're supposed to continue to meet. | ||
| That may take an hour, at least. | ||
| Then there's going to be a press conference. | ||
| We'll cover all that. | ||
| We'll go back to it when it's a press conference. | ||
| I think it's going to be a formal press conference in the East Room, although I could be wrong, but I think we're getting that signal, although people are not set up. | ||
| We're going to be covering all of that. | ||
| So much big news today of what's going on. | ||
| As we left you this morning, The huge news is that, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm looking at my producer, Pam Bondi is now officially the Attorney General of the United States, correct? | ||
| I'm looking for a nod over there. | ||
| Or she's not, she's about to come up. | ||
| Bobby Kennedy has passed the Finance Committee on a one-vote majority along party lines. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard, nine to eight. | ||
| Same, same. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Passes Senate intel along party lines. | ||
| No crossovers. | ||
| So Todd Young in Indiana, good on you. | ||
| And Dr. Senator Cassidy in Louisiana, good on you. | ||
| We appreciate both of those. | ||
| So Tulsi and Bobby will now go to the floor. | ||
| That should take place as soon as possible, but there are some delays with these Democrats trying to drag everything up. | ||
| Can we double-check on Pam? | ||
| Because I had to look away. | ||
| It hasn't happened yet. | ||
| So the Senate floor, I think they're gathering to vote on Pam Bondi right now. | ||
| Pam Bondi should be the... | ||
| Hold it. | ||
| I'm getting notes here. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Huge day. | |
| For the war and posse. | ||
| Huge day of taking these two tough. | ||
| Pam was not tough. | ||
| She was going to be in. | ||
| She did such a great job. | ||
| Her vetting was great. | ||
| She did such a great job in committee, so that's a lock. | ||
| Cash, and we understand cash may be bumped a week or so. | ||
| We'll try to get more of that. | ||
| What happened over the FBI today, the Doge guys have a questionnaire. | ||
| It's kind of being misconstrued in the public as a... | ||
| By MSNBC, even the Daily Mail, as a loyalty oath to Trump, it's anything but that. | ||
| What they're trying to do, and keep this in perspective, Ray and Garland said over and over again, this is the largest criminal investigation in history. | ||
| This is the J6 folks. | ||
| Which, what, 90% of them are people just wandering around the Capitol? | ||
| The largest criminal investigation in the history of the FBI. All we're trying to do is ascertain the facts. | ||
| What the Doge guys are trying to do is just trying to ascertain in the FBI who actually worked on the J6 cases. | ||
| And they have a list of questions. | ||
| It's like a decision tree. | ||
| If you answer one, you answer no, boom. | ||
| You leave and get out. | ||
| If you answer yes to the first, then they've got a series of questions of what you actually do. | ||
| It's completely legitimate. | ||
| It's completely logical. | ||
| Do we have the cold open we couldn't get to? | ||
| We're going to do a cold open on this, and Julie Kelly was going to join us. | ||
| I think Julie is up on the phone. | ||
| If we can get her back up. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play the... | ||
| Tell me when you got her, and then I want to play the cold open. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| We're going to be producing this show this afternoon, and we're going to be skipping a couple of three breaks because there's so much going on. | ||
| Let's reset. | ||
| Bobby Kennedy. | ||
| It's been approved by the Committee of Jurisdiction for Health and Human Services. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard, Lieutenant Colonel, has been approved in a 9-8 vote by the Committee of Jurisdiction. | ||
| They now will process some more and go to the Senate floor for confirmation, then they go to work. | ||
| And we need them both at work, ASAP. The reason it's so important, Tulsi kind of takes this counter... | ||
| Traditional view of the right, kind of the Tucker Carlson, Darren Beattie, Raheem Kassam, War Room Posse, Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, Kane over at Citizens Free Press, others, that the CIA has been a big part of the problem in these forever wars. | ||
| They've done a horrible job when you have to look at the assessment of how they turned out, and they're in everything and twisting things. | ||
| And so you need somebody there that looks at this with a jaundiced eye. | ||
| And Tulsi Gabbard believes with the theory of the case. | ||
| And she's going to be a very incredible head of director of national intelligence. | ||
| National intelligence kind of oversees all those directly control. | ||
| It's not really an operational command. | ||
| It oversees and kind of coordinates. | ||
| With all, I don't know, 17 intelligence agencies. | ||
| Yes, I know, folks, it boggles your mind that we need 17 intelligence agencies, but this is the way the apparatus works. | ||
| This is how you get $2 trillion deficits every year. | ||
| You have this. | ||
| So Tulsi Gabbard's going to be in there, and they hate her. | ||
| They hate her most because she exposed their lies on Snowden. | ||
| Why is Snowden important? | ||
| Yeah, Snowden gave up some state secrets about the Navy, about other things. | ||
| He fled to the arms of the CCP and the KGB, gave him a lot of information. | ||
| His toes are right on that line of being a traitor. | ||
| The one thing he did that they hate him for, they don't hate him for that, which would be the reason you should hate him. | ||
| They hate him because he exposed the internal surveillance of American citizens and how people lied about it. | ||
| And Clapper... | ||
| And Brennan specifically purged themselves in Congress. | ||
| And the implication is that maybe they got the go-ahead behind closed doors, behind in these non-public sessions, the classified segments of when they meet. | ||
| And that's why they hate her. | ||
| Well, she's now running the deal over there. | ||
| Ratcliffe at CIA, Tulsi Gabbard at DNI. We're interested to see who she picks as her deputy. | ||
| We think we have a... | ||
| All those groups. | ||
| We have some colleagues that are on the short list of all that. | ||
| Julie Kelly's by phone. | ||
| Julie, I want to play the call open. | ||
| I want to get you first. | ||
| Maine's during the Daily Mail. | ||
| It's a Doge meltdown. | ||
| The Doge guys have been asking for this questionnaire to be filled out. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| It's not a loyalty oath. | ||
| The left is making this like it's a loyalty oath. | ||
| It's merely asking questions about what your participation was in the FBI investigations of J6, which is a perfectly legitimate question asked. | ||
| And we said, we're going to get to the bottom of all this, folks. | ||
| We're going to get to the bottom of all this. | ||
| And it's going to be in a little more formal way than Doge is doing right now. | ||
| Now DOGE is trying to look at a possible plan to both rewire and restructure the government and have some pretty massive spending cuts at the same time increasing our efficiency and effectiveness. | ||
| That's not an easy task. | ||
| Julie Kelly, you've been on this more than anybody. | ||
| What is Doge doing over at the FBI, and why is every publication in the world in total and complete meltdown over this, ma'am? | ||
| So Steve Doge was there today, but this is unrelated to the survey that was sent out over the weekend related to a memo from the acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Boves. | ||
| And he was asking for a system-wide accounting of all of the FBI employees, 35,000 employees, who in any way, shape, or form touched a January 6th case. | ||
| So I actually posted that questionnaire on my ex-account, Julie underscore Kelly, too. | ||
| It was a pretty detailed questionnaire asking the employees, you know, their status at the time and about 12 to 15 different line items. | ||
| You know, were you a witness at trial? | ||
| Did you conduct a raid? | ||
| Were you involved in an arrest? | ||
| Did you collect surveillance? | ||
| So this is seeking a real granular accounting. | ||
| For the FBI's unprecedented investigation four years into the events of January 6th. | ||
| So, what CNN reported today is that about 5,000 employees responded to that questionnaire copying to the fact that they had been involved in a J6 case one way or the other. | ||
| Steve, I don't believe that number is accurate at all. | ||
| But that's what CNN is reporting. | ||
| So these results were then given to Mr. Bove, and he will then decide or wait for Kash Patel, obviously General Bondi, to determine what they are going to do with those agents who were involved in that investigation. | ||
| So hold it. | ||
| Go back over that one more time. | ||
| Let me make sure I understand the math. | ||
| What were the results of this? | ||
| Well, all we know right now is what CNN is reporting. | ||
| And what they are reporting is that 5,000 FBI employees sent back a survey indicating that they had been involved in J6 cases. | ||
| So this is related to the survey I was just mentioning. | ||
| People can, again, see screenshots of that survey. | ||
| But this is something that Mr. Bove has been seeking. | ||
| And actually, it was January 6th, and then I also believe they also are looking at ages that have already gotten rid of some who were involved in the raid and investigation of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| But this is J6 case-specific. | ||
| And again, what CNN said, 5,000 employees. | ||
| I believe that figure is much higher because, Steve, you had before the Capitol siege unit was shut down after the president took office. | ||
| You had almost 1,600 defendants. | ||
| What we've seen since then is that the DOJ had opened 2,400 cases. | ||
| So they still, if President Trump hadn't won, they were still planning to arrest and prosecute hundreds of more J6ers. | ||
| And we saw this the week before Inauguration Day. | ||
| The DOJ was still announcing new arrests and putting people on trial and trying to get them into prison. | ||
| So we're supposed to believe that only 5,000 FBI employees out of 56 field offices, what the DOJ and FBI said is the biggest criminal investigation in the department's history that touched every single aspect of and utilized every single tool at the FBI's disposal. | ||
| Only 5,000? | ||
| No. | ||
| That number, I suspect, is much higher, but they're trying to minimize it for now. | ||
| Cash and others will get to the bottom and get the accurate figure sometime soon. | ||
| Then why the, this will be a lot, you agree that this will be a logical question for them to ask since this was the largest criminal investigation and clearly was done to suppress the voices of MAGA. Why the meltdown over just asking the questions and getting the data, ma'am? | ||
| Well, because this is part of the process of exposing the DOJ and FBI's abuse of the law, denial of due process rights for these defendants, and launching a war on terror against President Trump and his supporters. | ||
| So this is just part of that accountability. | ||
| So they want to conceal that as much as possible as the overall January 6th narrative continues to unravel. | ||
| Excuse me, three lawsuits filed today on behalf of FBI agents and employees seeking to halt the collection of this data and release any names out to the public. | ||
| Now, Steve, get this. | ||
| This is what I find so ironic. | ||
| The anonymous FBI agents and employees are claiming that this process is violating their First Amendment rights and their Fifth Amendment rights. | ||
| Which is exactly what the FBI did in every single January 6th case, including the president. | ||
| They investigated First Amendment protected political activity. | ||
| That was the basis of the entire investigation. | ||
| Not to mention the Fifth Amendment violation, Sixth Amendment, Fourth Amendment can go down the list. | ||
| Then they claimed that if these names are released, it will result in harassment and doxing of FBI agents. | ||
| If they are fired, they won't be able to get new employment. | ||
| Boo-hoo. | ||
| I mean, go look in the mirror, FBI agents. | ||
| What do you think you have been doing to almost 1,600 Americans and their families, destroying families, marriages, businesses, bankrupting these people, throwing them in jail for excessive amounts of time simply because they were involved in a Capitol protest? | ||
| So now the tables are turned, as you always say, Steve, the hunters are the hunted. | ||
| And now they are using the same arguments, what the J6ers have said, violating due process constitutional rights, leading to harassment of themselves and their families. | ||
| And now they're worried about the same thing that they've inflicted on others for four years. | ||
| No one's stopping. | ||
| Bovee, you know, Pam, tonight, I think the final vote, I'm getting signal now they say it might not happen to one in the morning. | ||
| So the Democrats are pulling every administrative deal they can pull on the Senate to both slow down the committee hearings, to slow down the overall votes, to slow walk the confirmation. | ||
| They want Trump's team. | ||
| They want to take the entire year, 2025, and make sure Trump doesn't have his team. | ||
| You watch. | ||
| This is all going to get gnarlier and gnarlier. | ||
| I'm hearing cash maybe a couple of weeks because they're saying, well, we've got to get through all the cabinet people, and that's not really a cabinet position. | ||
| It reports to DOJ. They hammered cash on one hand. | ||
| All this stuff's happening to the FBI without a director, but then they don't lift a finger. | ||
| In fact, they try to be obstructionists to make sure that cash can't get in. | ||
| What should people make us smart? | ||
| What should people be looking for here? | ||
| Because right now, Doge seems like doing almost an administrative function that the press is trying to turn into a content function. | ||
| So to be smart, how should we start to think about this and watch it? | ||
| So I think Doge working with the current DOJ leadership, what they could be looking for is a total accounting. | ||
| All of the receipts of how much this January 6th prosecution has cost the American people. | ||
| And I think that this could be part of what they were looking at, why they were at FBI headquarters today, but also getting the timesheets, basically, from these J6 agents and investigators so they can total up what this has cost. | ||
| It has to be in hundreds of millions of dollars, Steve. | ||
| You were talking about, again, unprecedented, wide-ranging. | ||
| Investigation and prosecution. | ||
| You're talking about calling people to the D.C. courthouse at least, I think, 200 jury trials over nearly three years. | ||
| Plea deals. | ||
| Sentencing people to prison. | ||
| How long did it cost the American taxpayers to incarcerate J6ers, including hundreds of nonviolent protesters who were convicted or took plea deals on misdemeanors? | ||
| So I am hoping, because we cannot get any accounting, there's nothing in the DOJ budget, nothing in the FBI budget, that will tell us how much this costs. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And as I said, it has to be into the hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| So perhaps that is what we should be paying attention to in terms of what Elon Musk is doing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But also, Steve, I really do think the DOJ, Mr. Boat, and Mr. McHenry. | ||
| acting AG. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| I want to make sure you get this punchline without being crammed for a commercial. | ||
| Too important. | ||
| Julie Kelly's going to join us on the other side. | ||
| I know she's got a bolt. | ||
| She's going to stick the landing here as she normally does, always does. | ||
| We're also going to have a couple of special guests here talking about B.B., What exactly is going on? | ||
| President Trump's saying, I don't know, they want to live in Gaza. | ||
| Gaza's a wreck. | ||
| A lot of people disagreeing with him in that room. | ||
| President Trump, President Trump's stirring it up. | ||
| On a Tuesday in the War Room. | ||

|
War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Birch Gold, times of turbulence. | ||
| You haven't seen anything yet. | ||
| It's going to get more and more turbulent. | ||
| Chinese Communist Party pushed back hard on President Trump's opening salvo on tariffs and other things. | ||
| They said there's going to be a call in a couple weeks. | ||
| They'll work it out. | ||
| I'm not so sure about that. | ||
| We'll have to see. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| Find out why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of man's recorded history and including today it's near an all-time high because times are turbulent. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| And make sure you get the End of the Dollar Empire, the 6-3 installment. | ||
| Make modern monetary theory the idea that broke the world. | ||
| Get it today. | ||
| Become the smartest person in the room. | ||
| That's what we're trying to do. | ||
| Julie Kelly, continue on. | ||
| Make me the smartest person in the room because the mainstream media, everybody in Washington, D.C. is focused on... | ||
| Pam Bondi could be, was approved tonight, later. | ||
| They're talking about 1 o'clock in the morning. | ||
| Half of her, as you know, half of her confirmation hearing was banging on D. Cash Patel. | ||
| The FBI is the centerpiece of everything. | ||
| Today, they had people going over to the headquarters, and they had a meltdown. | ||
| They wanted a protest. | ||
| They wanted agents. | ||
| What the left wants in the established orders is have 1,000 agents step up right now and say they're not going to take any orders from Trump's team and really have a total civil war over there. | ||
| Your thoughts on what's really going on? | ||
| Well, I think what's happening now with sort of the temporary leadership is doing some of the tough work in advance of Tambandi and Kash Patel taking office, which is getting this accounting for J6, firing heads of field offices and agents, investigators who were involved in the investigation, the classified documents investigation against the president and, of course, Raid of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Getting rid of more defiant heads of field offices, like this James Dennehy in New York, who sent an email to his colleagues over the weekend promising that he was going to hunker down, that this was a huge battle, we were going to protect the agents and the FBI employees, and encouraging people not to back down, meaning don't comply. | ||
| So this is the same FBI, Steve, we've seen for 10 years. | ||
| You know, these are just different versions of Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok and Christopher Wray. | ||
| But their days are numbered. | ||
| And what they're terrified of is Cash Fatale and Tan Bondi coming in, blowing open the entire January 6th feds direction, making the public aware of the abuses that took place in that prosecution. | ||
| Going back to Russiagate, there's still things that we need to know there. | ||
| So, of course, there's a lot that is going to be exposed there. | ||
| And I really do feel like they're kind of clearing the brush away for Panhandi and Kash Patel to really begin and do the tough work that the FBI is so good at creating and DOJ creating to any sort of legitimate or sincere investigation, internal inquiries. | ||
| So I think that that's in a way. | ||
| Julie, can you give us your social media so people can follow your sub stack, all your content now more than ever? | ||
| Yes, thanks, Steve. | ||
| So posting a lot. | ||
| I've got more breaking news posting tonight at Julie underscore Kelly 2 on XMI Substack, Declassified with Julie Kelly. | ||
| Julie, right before you bounce, you know, people know I have... | ||
| Huge differences with Elon Musk on many things, from transhumanism to true what populist nationalism is, issues on HB1 visas, many, many things. | ||
| But on this Doge situation, as we told you, we've tried for years, and people who take, and President Trump, we chipped away at it with the two regulations or five regulations against one, but I always said it was programmatically. | ||
| And by billet. | ||
| Elon Musk is doing an engineering line diagram of the entire U.S. government and he's looking at inflection points and points of attack that you're going to make changes. | ||
| What he's doing at the FBI, I fully support right now. | ||
| Unless we find some data manipulation or there's, you know, trying to pump algorithms into things or whatever, which we don't know of any of that right now. | ||
| You need shock troops. | ||
| Taking down the administrative state, and the hardest part of it is the deep state. | ||
| The reason they've come after cash so hard, the reason they've come after Tulsi so hard, is they do not want any MAGA, they don't want any populist nationalists, anybody that puts the country first and the citizens first, to get anywhere near this. | ||
| They are, Julie, it's been, and Julie Kelly has gone through as a witness, as an eyewitness, over four years, and laid out. | ||
| The atrocities, and that's where they were, atrocities in the American justice system. | ||
| To put people, to break people, to cause suicides, to bankrupt them, to break families. | ||
| That's what we're trying to do, break families as an example of what would happen to you if you stood up to the state, to state power. | ||
| That's what this exercise is about, and Julie's 100% correct. | ||
| We have to have accounting of this. | ||
| We can't look away. | ||
| It'd be very easy for Trump to look away. | ||
| It'd be very easy for Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro and Tom Barrack and others to look away. | ||
| It'd be very easy. | ||
| Julie Kelly could go get on with her life. | ||
| The easiest thing in the world to do is for us to say, okay, we won. | ||
| You know, we'll make some changes, some personnel changes. | ||
| We want to change some guys in personnel, change a couple of feelings. | ||
| No. | ||
| This has got to be systematic, and this is where Doge comes in. | ||
| They are, to agree, shock troops. | ||
| And they have left, President Trump's the ultimate blunt force instrument, but Elon knows how to lay one in too. | ||
| And you're seeing right now, there's a meltdown for a reason. | ||
| They don't want people in there getting information. | ||
| And they particularly don't want the people that work there, the FBI field offices, others, providing information. | ||
| Because this is how it's going to unravel. | ||
| Folks, I've said for years now. | ||
| When we go to Ukraine and lance the boil there, there's going to be some ugly stuff that comes out that we don't want to see. | ||
| But you're not going to be able to look away. | ||
| What you're going to see in the U.S. government is going to turn your stomach. | ||
| It's going to turn your stomach of what you've been paying for. | ||
| And quite frankly, if you're Republicans and conservatives, what you've been supporting without knowing it. | ||
| USAID was just an example we've done over the last couple of days. | ||
| FBI, CIA, some of these, you're going to DOJ. You're not going to feel good about it. | ||
| We have to do this. | ||
| Julie, is there anything on that, Julie Kelly, that I am off track on, ma'am? | ||
| No, not at all, because I think that most Americans are going to have the same revelations that I've had for years covering not just what the DOJ and FBI is doing, but what's happening in the court system. | ||
| And just walking out of these courtrooms after J6 proceedings, whether it was a trial, whether it was hearing a sentencing, believing my eyes at seeing this collusion between the legal and judicial system in our nation's capital to systematically deny the constitutional due process rights of American citizens who are exercising their First Amendment rights, and that's where it all started. | ||
| But the lies that were told, the FBI agents who lied on the stand, the prosecutors who lied, the judges who lied, they're lying to this day. | ||
| They said in the lawsuit today that five police officers died as a result of January 6th. | ||
| They continue to lie about what happened. | ||
| So they are terrified as they're seeing this all unravel, which started with some of my reporting and Darren Beatty, obviously. | ||
| But the pardon issue, the courageous move by the president to pardon. | ||
| Almost all of them. | ||
| And now we're going to open up the books. | ||
| And now we're going to make the FBI agents involved held accountable. | ||
| And now we're seeing J6ers post videos of their interrogations and what these FBI agents did to them. | ||
| And they're posting what happened during armed raids of their homes. | ||
| And this is all part of the process. | ||
| There's a lot more to be done. | ||
| But yes, I think what Elon Musk is doing and the president... | ||
| They're also bringing courage to Republicans in Congress who otherwise would love to see these issues go away. | ||
| You know, these rhinos in the Senate, they would love to see January 6th. | ||
| They would love to never talk about January 6th again. | ||
| That ain't going to happen. | ||
| And so what the president has done, his team at the DOJ right now, and Elon Musk is sending a message. | ||
| We're moving forward, and Republicans in Congress, especially the Senate, You're going to be with us or you're going to be against us. | ||
| And if you're against us, as Elon Musk has said, we're going to primary you in 2026 and we're going to get rid of you because you are as big of an obstacle as anyone in the administrative state. | ||
| Repeat that just on the Republican establishment about what their enthusiasm for our efforts here are, ma'am. | ||
| I just think that they're creating courage. | ||
| They're building courage in Republicans who otherwise would love to turn a blind eye to what's happening with USAID or the intelligence community or certainly the DOJ and FBI. They want these issues to go away. | ||
| They want January 6th to go away. | ||
| And you saw this with the pardons. | ||
| You saw Tom Tillis and Lindsey Graham immediately denounce these pardons and people who attack police officers. | ||
| That's not the issue. | ||
| We already know. | ||
| This is not what the protesters did. | ||
| This is what the government did. | ||
| And Elon Musk, I think, recognizes also the very sinister undertones of January 6th and also identifying the fact that this could have, which it was, a fedsurrection, a detailed operation to lure Trump supporters in that day and foment the events so they could use it as an excuse. | ||
| Destroy the president, put him in jail, and destroy the MAGA movement. | ||
| Not only did it not happen, it has backfired. | ||
| It is a huge issue with the base. | ||
| You know that. | ||
| You were responsible for bringing all of this to the war room posse and bringing it to lawmakers. | ||
| And now this train is running and no one can stop it. | ||
| And that's why CNN is freaking out and Politico is freaking out and the New York Times is freaking out because... | ||
| Their carefully constructed narrative of January 6th, their life's work for four years is shredded, completely shredded. | ||
| And the worst is yet to come. | ||
| Oh, folks, much worse is to come. | ||
| You ain't seen nothing yet. | ||
| And it's going to get ugly, and it's going to get tougher, and it's going to get more vitriolic, and just hang in there. | ||
| They're not going to toss you the keys. | ||
| You won. | ||
| They're not going to toss you the keys. | ||
| So they're not going to toss you the keys. | ||
| You're going to have to go get the keys. | ||
| And in getting the keys, then we're going to have some drama. | ||
| It's coming. | ||
| It'll make great television and you'll be glued to the war room. | ||
| But trust me, you're going to have to man the barricades for this. | ||
| You're going to have to get to the ramparts because this is going to be raw political power. | ||
| Of whether this happens or not. | ||
| It is not a foregone conclusion, folks, that we're going to get to the bottom of this. | ||
| Now, Julie Kelly, myself, and others will tell you, we've committed our life's fortune and sacred honor to do it, but it ain't done yet. | ||
| But we're getting there. | ||
| Julie Kelly, where do people go to get all your information? | ||
| because now more than ever, you need to follow Julie Kelly. | ||
| It was funny. | ||
| The president told me when we talked about pardon me. | ||
| He said, well, I'm sorry. | ||
| I'm going to put you out of a job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I said, well, I think we'll have plenty to do after you're sworn in. | |
| And I'm busier now than ever. | ||
| So, I think that's a fight with Julie Kelly. | ||
| And, of course, ask Julie at the School of Kelly, too. | ||
| Thank you, ma'am. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Julie Kelly. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short break. | ||
| Let me give you the lineup. | ||
| We've got Rabbi Pesach. | ||
| Wrote an amazing piece about what President Trump's talking about that, hey, maybe Gaza's not right for folks to go back to. | ||
| We got Frank Gaffney to give us the geostrategic insights about what's going on. | ||
| Bibi is in the Oval Office with the President of the United States and they're having a fireside chat. | ||
| Our own Brian Glenn is in the East Room where historic press conference is going to take place momentarily. | ||
| We're going to do Frank. | ||
| We're going to do the rabbi. | ||
| We're going to do Brian. | ||
| We're going to do a press conference. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| All in the late afternoon and early evening edition of The War Room. | ||
| Okay, we're going to go to our own Brian Glenn in the East Room. | ||
| He's going to prep us for this historic press conference about to take place. | ||
| Brian Glenn. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, Steve, welcome. | |
| We are live here in the East Room awaiting President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. | ||
| Now, they just spoke briefly one-on-one, and they had just a really quick meeting. | ||
| But I've got to tell you something, Steve. | ||
| Watching the procession move into the White House, all of the pageantry... | ||
| That was built around the prime minister coming here, Steve. | ||
| It's something that I've heard a lot of people who have been at this White House have never seen the welcoming of a foreign dignitary as we saw here today for the prime minister. | ||
| So certainly President Trump is rolling out the red carpet, if you will, for these talks. | ||
| Now, as you know, this is the first time that President Trump has met with a foreign leader since the second term. | ||
| And we've got a good—what you're looking at right now is a pact. | ||
| Steve, I would probably say there's probably close to maybe 300 different media outlets just in this room alone, not counting the ones that are outside that could not have access to this room. | ||
| A lot of foreign press, a lot of Israeli press, a lot of questions on whether or not, hey, these talks, if we can come up with a solution that everyone agrees on, Steve. | ||
| But we'll keep you updated on what's happening here in the East Room here at the White House. | ||
| You hang right there, by the way. | ||
| A real hat tip, and I want to thank the White House comms team for letting Real America's Voice in the war room, in the room. | ||
| We have our own Brian Glenns over there. | ||
| Natalie Winters is there. | ||
| I think Amanda Head's now there. | ||
| I think we've got three correspondents over there. | ||
| Natalie's actually out. | ||
| She's heading to Tim Pool to do that. | ||
| Brian Glenn is pulling double duty today. | ||
| Rabbi Pesach. | ||
| Walk me through. | ||
| Trump sounds like... | ||
| People are saying he sounds like a madman. | ||
| I don't think he sounds like a madman at all. | ||
| I think there's internal logic there. | ||
| What is it, sir? | ||
| Because once again, Trump is bending the arc of history. | ||
| He's certainly moving the Overton window, Steve. | ||
| Look, Donald Trump is the president of common sense. | ||
| He's the president of peace. | ||
| He's the president of... | ||
| And this idea of moving the Gazans out, it makes sense from every perspective. | ||
| It makes sense morally, it makes sense legally, and it makes sense historically. | ||
| The legal argument is very simple. | ||
| The Geneva Conventions, built on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, grant the right of seeking asylum from a war zone in neighboring countries. | ||
| And Egypt and Jordan, which are the two neighboring countries, have been refusing to allow Gazans to escape a war zone, a war, of course, that Hamas started and could have ended on any day since this war started. | ||
| Hamas could have surrendered all the hostages and laid down its arms, and there would have been no destruction there in the Gaza Strip. | ||
| So this war has gone on. | ||
| Egypt has been refusing to allow them in. | ||
| And that's actually a violation of international law. | ||
| But beyond that, Stephen, this is what I lay out in my piece, in my column that was in the Jerusalem Post yesterday. | ||
| And you can find it also up on Real Clear Politics in the World section from yesterday's post. | ||
| And I lay out there. | ||
| That this goes all the way back to the founding of the State of Israel when the UN decided on the partition plan in November of 1947 and had the Arab countries accepted the partition plan of what is today Israel into a Jewish state and a Palestinian state, the original two-state solution. | ||
| Not a single... | ||
| Arab would have been displaced. | ||
| It was the Arab armies themselves, there's so much evidence in history, the Arab leadership themselves who called on the Arabs to evacuate so that they could destroy, so that the Holy War could destroy this brand new Jewish state. | ||
| They lost that war and ended up with all these refugees in the Gaza Strip and in Judea and Samaria. | ||
| Egypt ruled the Gaza Strip when that war ended in 1948. And for 19 years, the Egyptians... | ||
| Governed the Gaza Strip. | ||
| They did not allow the Gazan refugees there to move to mainland Egypt to rebuild their lives. | ||
| Money that was set aside in the UN to help them rebuild their lives. | ||
| The Egyptians never spent a bit of it. | ||
| They didn't even let them emigrate anywhere else. | ||
| And then when Israel made peace with Egypt in 1979 at the Camp David Accords with Carter, when Israel agreed to give back everything that they had conquered in 1967, including the Gaza Strip. | ||
| Egypt refused to take the Gaza Strip back from them. | ||
| They didn't want the Gaza Strip, but they ruled it for 19 years and did nothing to help resettle these refugees. | ||
| And now, fast forward to today, we now realize after Israel went into Rafa and was cleaning out Rafa and took over the border between Gaza and Egypt, we discovered all these tunnels and we discovered that the Egyptians were actually allowing all the weaponry and all the arms into Hamas all these years. | ||
| If anyone bears responsibility both historically and currently and according to international law for the plight of the Gazans, it's Egypt. | ||
| So when Donald Trump says that Egypt should take these people, he's not just throwing out an idea. | ||
| He's actually speaking historical justice. | ||
| He's speaking international law. | ||
| He's speaking human rights. | ||
| And frankly, as he said today, sitting with Netanyahu right before they went into the Oval Office taking a few questions, Gaza's unlivable right now. | ||
| This was a war started by Hamas. | ||
| These people cannot go back there, and they can have a better life. | ||
| Rabbi, hang on for one second. | ||
| I want to get Mike Lindell in here. | ||
| We're going to continue this coverage. | ||
| Brian Glenn will be with us in the 6 o'clock hour. | ||
| Frank Gaffney strategically. | ||
| My question for Rabbi Pesach when we come back is, hey... | ||
| Some of the Gazans, I think maybe a lot of them say, we don't want to leave, right? | ||
| As bad as it is, it's what we got. | ||
| We're going to discuss that also. | ||
| Mike Lindell, you started a new offer today. | ||
