| Now, coming at this this morning, Wicker of the Senate Armed Services Committee said he's going to hold hearings, bipartisan hearings, and get to the bottom of it, which we don't like to hear. | ||
| This is a total and complete setup. | ||
| That's why the hearing was today. | ||
| It's absolutely outrageous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The good news is Trump truth last night in support of Mike Wall. | |
| So we're going to give it to you, Steve. | ||
| Really good talking to you. | ||
| See you tomorrow, brother. | ||
| Yeah. Eric, thank you so much. | ||
| Great hour. | ||
| Always good to follow you and do the handoff. | ||
| Crocs versus Gators. | ||
| Okay, here's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to now have a cold open. | ||
| It's going to be, I don't know, seven or so minutes long. | ||
| It's going to get to the intensity of the day. | ||
| Also, President Trump signed a number of executive orders on election integrity, a couple of other law firms that the government is going to have a discussion with about their practices, their law firm practices. | ||
| We're going to play some of the intensity. | ||
| This was a setup today. | ||
| The event happened on the Ides of March, on 15 March. | ||
| You remember? | ||
| We were here live that morning on War Room. | ||
| And, of course, the guy, the journalist, supposedly was watching this at 1144 when these things started. | ||
| He waited nine days. | ||
| Why did he wait nine days? | ||
| Because they knew they had a previously scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee meeting today. | ||
| All of that was basically turned to this situation. | ||
| A total and complete setup. | ||
| Let's play it. | ||
| We're going to go to the White House. | ||
| We've got Natalie Winters. | ||
| We've got Jack Posovic. | ||
| We have from the House Intelligence Committee, Ben Klein is going to join us. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| Let's go ahead and roll. | ||
| Director Gabbard, did you participate in the group chat with Secretary of Defense and other Trump senior officials discussing the Yemen war plans? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator, I don't want to get into this. | |
| Ma'am, were you on? | ||
| You're not going to be willing to address it. | ||
| Are you denying? | ||
| Matt, will you answer my question, ma'am? | ||
| You are not TG on this group chat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not going to get into the specifics of the delivery. | |
| So you refuse to acknowledge whether you are on this group chat? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Senator, I'm not going to get into the specifics. | |
| Why are you going to get into the specifics? | ||
| Is it because it's all classified? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because this is currently under review by the National Security Council. | |
| Because it's all classified? | ||
| If it's not classified, share the text now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As the White House previously stated. | |
| Is it classified or non-classified information on this text? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can confirm. | |
| Director Radcliffe, were you on the group chat contact, the defense secretary or others? | ||
| After this specific military planning was put out and say, hey, we should be doing this in a skiff? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was no classified material that was shared in that signal. | |
| So then if there was no classified material, share it with the committee. | ||
| You can't have it both ways. | ||
| These are important jobs. | ||
| This is our national security. | ||
| Bobbing and weaving and trying to, you know, filibuster your answer. | ||
| Criticize so strongly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's a very good man. | |
| And he will continue to do a good job. | ||
| In addition to him, we had very good people in that meeting. | ||
| And those people have done a very, very effective job. | ||
| And you're going to see it. | ||
| And it goes on, by the way. | ||
| It's going to go on. | ||
| And I think the Houthis wish that it didn't happen. | ||
| But that's what it's all about. | ||
| We have to create a safe country, a safe world. | ||
| And that's what we're doing. | ||
| Well, let's put it this way, Director Reckliffe. | ||
| A discussion by senior U.S. officials on the timing and risks of a proposed military campaign and disagreements between the president and the vice president about U.S. plans and intentions would be of obvious interest to foreign intelligence services. | ||
| Would it not? | ||
| Yes. And they were discussing the timing. | ||
| Of sending U.S. air crews into enemy airspace where they faced an air defense threat, correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to, Senator, defer to the other principles that you're referring to about what the meaning and the context of what they were on. | |
| They're talking about the timing of U.S. airstrikes, correct? | ||
| Yes. Yes. | ||
| And therefore, the timing of sending U.S. air crews into hostile airspace, correct? | ||
| Yes. And therefore, the time period during which enemy air defenses could target U.S. air crews flying in enemy airspace, correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know that. | |
| You do know that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you think that Mike Waltz made a mistake and does he need to apologize? | |
| No, I don't think he should apologize. | ||
| I think he's doing his best. | ||
| It's equipment and technology that's not perfect, and probably he won't be using it again, at least not in the very near future. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sir, I agree with you. | |
| Let's get everybody in the room whenever possible. | ||
| A lot of times you find out defects by exactly things like that. | ||
| And would not information about the timing of airstrikes. | ||
| Allow a military to pre-position or cue air defense systems to shoot down enemy aircraft? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think, Senator, from our perspective, any advance warning is something that we certainly are trying to protect. | |
| Director Radcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. A national political... | |
| Hold on. | ||
| No, no, you hold on. | ||
| No, no, Director Radcliffe, I asked you a yes or no question and now you'll hold on. | ||
| A national political reporter was made privy to sensitive information about imminent military operations against a foreign terrorist organization. | ||
| And that wasn't a huge mistake? | ||
| That wasn't a huge mistake? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They characterized it as embarrassment. | |
| This is utterly unprofessional. | ||
| There's been no apology. | ||
| There has been no recognition of the gravity of this error. | ||
| And by the way, we will get the full transcript of this chain, and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content. | ||
| This certainly will look at this, but the main thing was nothing happened. | ||
| The attack was totally successful. | ||
| It was, I guess, from what I understand, took place during. | ||
| And it wasn't classified information. | ||
| So this was not classified. | ||
| Now, if it's classified information, it's probably a little bit different. | ||
| But I always say you have to learn from every experience. | ||
| I think it was very unfair the way they attacked Michael. | ||
| He's a good person. | ||
| The person that was on just happens to be a sleazebag. | ||
| So maybe that's just coincidence. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Let me ask you, when he was added to the thread, you're the CIA director. | ||
| Why didn't you call out? | ||
| That he was present on the signal thread. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know if you use signal messaging app. | |
| I do. | ||
| I do. | ||
| Not for classified information, not for targeting, not for anything remote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Neither do I, Senator. | |
| Well, that's what your testimony is today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It absolutely is not, Senator. | |
| Were you not listening at the beginning when I said that I was using it? | ||
| As permitted, it is permissible to use. | ||
| I agree that's your testimony. | ||
| Yeah. I agree that's your testimony. | ||
| You asked me if I use it, and I said not for targeting, not for classified information. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I said I don't either. | |
| I also know Jeff Goldberg. | ||
| I don't use it to communicate with him, but you thought it was appropriate. | ||
| By the way, I think he's one of the more outstanding journalists in America. | ||
| But I'm shocked to find him on a thread that he's reading in the parking lot of a grocery store in Washington, D.C. And your testimony as the director of the CIA is that it's totally appropriate. | ||
| Is it appropriate? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. Director, that is not what I... | |
| When did I say it was... | ||
| When did I use the word appropriate? | ||
| Well, go ahead, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I didn't. | |
| Everybody in America, there's nothing to see here is what your testimony is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I never said that. | |
| This is just a normal day at the CIA where we chat about this kind of stuff over signal. | ||
| In fact, it's so normal that the last administration left it here for us. | ||
| That's your testimony. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Today. One final point. | |
| I'm out of time. | ||
| Is it appropriate? | ||
| Did you know that the president's Middle East advisor was in Moscow on this thread while you were, as director of the CIA, participating in this thread? | ||
| Were you aware of that? | ||
| Are you aware of that today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not aware of that today. | |
| This sloppiness, this incompetence, this disrespect for our intelligence agencies and the personnel who work for them is entirely unacceptable. | ||
| It's an embarrassment. | ||
| Senator, you need to do better. | ||
| You need to do better. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm being gaveled. | ||
| The appropriate response for that was Tulsi Gabbard's open. | ||
| It's under review. | ||
| I'm not here to talk about it. | ||
| They're there to talk about the annual intelligence brief against major powers and major threats, and the threat assessment, the unclassified version, the public version. | ||
| What the Director of National Intelligence said at the beginning of the hearing was the appropriate, and they should have dug in right there. | ||
| This is not a search for truth, and particularly those jackals. | ||
| You saw that, and we can play so much more. | ||
| Why was it that we didn't go to the Republicans? | ||
| Because they were asking smart questions about the overall threat assessment. | ||
| Every Democrat came right back to the threat. | ||
| Why? They want to scalp. | ||
| This is the deep state rising up and coming after President Trump publicly with the fangs bared. | ||
| Do you think that it was just random that this hearing was held today? | ||
| Goldberg had the information from essentially 1144 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Saturday, the 15th of March, on the Ides of March, nine days ago or ten days ago today, and he just released it yesterday. | ||
| What took so long to release it? | ||
| They had to have a legal review? | ||
| No. They knew they had a previously scheduled intelligence briefing today, and this is where they were going to... | ||
| Ambush, and that's what this was, ambush the senior intelligence officials of the President Trump administration. | ||
| And Tulsi Gabbard's was absolutely accurate. | ||
| It's under review by the National Security Council, and at the appropriate time, we will get back to you, Senator. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Don't engage them. | ||
| You don't need to talk about anything. | ||
| It's under review. | ||
| They're looking for a scalp, and we're now hunkered down in the no-scalp business. | ||
| Need to tighten it up and hunker down right now. | ||
| This is the deep state. | ||
| This is a pincer move, and we're spending the next two hours going through this, a pincer move between the radical judiciary, the deep state, and I'm going to throw in a little of the resistance movement on top of it, the color revolution. | ||
| Natalie Winters, you're at the White House. | ||
| Give me the mood today. | ||
| At the White House, particularly after the president was in full fine form, but after this hearing today on Capitol Hill where the senators... | ||
| Let me just add a... | ||
| That was a shot. | ||
| Let me give you the chaser. | ||
| Wicker, a known... | ||
| Remember Wicker, this is the guy who wants to use tactical nuclear weapons. | ||
| Remember this beauty? | ||
| Tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine? | ||
| He said, oh, Armed Services is going to have a full investigation and it's going to be bipartisan Jack Reed who was on Intel. | ||
| Who's sitting there chopping people up is going to be with Jack Reed. | ||
| So that's where we are now. | ||
| Natalie Winters from the White House. | ||
| Your thoughts, ma'am? | ||
| Sure. Well, two very disparate moods, obviously. | ||
| There's the legacy media, which I think, to be honest, having just sat in the briefing room for not even more than 10 minutes, there was sort of, I think, an almost gleeful joy that they sort of have now a gotcha moment, or at least the opening salvo of one with this Jeffrey Goldberg story. | ||
| It's obviously everything that everyone is talking about, whether it's in their conversations or even as I walked down all the tents, every single outlet was hammering it nonstop, but specifically. | ||
| Specifically through the paradigm that this somehow suggests that the Trump administration is incompetent, that they lack legitimacy, that our allies won't trust us, which I think fits in nicely with that color evolution framework. | ||
| We can get into it after the break with the White House sort of proactive messaging and response has been because they've really put out quite a lot in terms of information how they're spinning it. | ||
| Yeah, no, they're on fire right now. | ||
| We've got Natalie Winters at the White House. | ||
| Jack Posobiec is going to join us by phone. | ||
| Congressman Ben Klein is going to join us. | ||
| He's on the House Intel. | ||
| Then we're going to pivot. | ||
| We've got a lot in the judicial insurrection. | ||
| Julie Kelly joins us. | ||
| Rasmussen joins us with Mark Mitchell because they've got some polling that's quite interesting where the American people are coming down on these mass deportations. | ||
| And of course, the one and only Mike. | ||
| Davis. They also signed an election integrity executive order today. | ||
| We're going to try to get the Secretary of State of the great state of Wyoming, who is driving election integrity in his state. | ||
| He's going to be here. | ||
| We're packed for the next two hours. | ||
| A judicial insurrection and the deep state coming from President Trump and his administration. | ||
| It's time to hunker down. | ||
| They're playing for keeps and so are we. | ||
| Bottom line, we're winning, but man, get to the ramparts. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. | |
| Vann. | ||
| With the House and Senate working on the reconciliation, they say it's going to be done on the 7th, the budget for next year with all the tax cuts, everything quite complicated. | ||
| We're going to be at wall-to-wall. | ||
| But coupled with this, coupled with the judicial insurrection, we're going to have some turbulence. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon, the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Also, talk to Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| Find out why gold is a hedge against times of turbulence. | ||
| It's only been like that for 5,000 years of man's recorded history. | ||
| So go check it out today. | ||
| Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| Gold finished, I think, over 3,000 again today. | ||
| At least before the hearing wasn't too bad. | ||
| We're going to check it all out. | ||
| Natalie Winters, please tee up this clip. | ||
| We want the audience to understand who Jeffrey Goldberg is. | ||
| So you please tee this up, and then after you're finished, I would like Denver to play it, and then you'll come back for commentary and observations, ma'am. | ||
| Sure. Well, I think there's probably a sense of deja vu that the audience may have had watching the cold open to the show, right? | ||
| Senators grilling these individuals. | ||
| It kind of brings us back, I don't know, let's say to the first impeachment, right? | ||
| Where you sort of have this fundamental divide, not necessarily over the results, but more so about the process, right? | ||
| Whether it was President Trump's phone call. | ||
| And I think the best way to conceive of someone like Jeffrey Goldberg, like I said, and like I think you're right on, this is essentially the opening salvo, the first maybe a stage in what will later become a... | ||
| I think more information warfare against the Trump administration, particularly on the international affairs front. | ||
| But I think that Goldberg should really be viewed as sort of a Vindman-esque figure in all of this, right? | ||
| Someone who really takes an issue with, I think, the America First worldview, evidenced by the fact that he has repeatedly been the hitman, not just because he's nicely holed up at the railhead of so much of the resistance media, right? | ||
| That is the Atlantic. | ||
| But he's been behind some of really the top dollars. | ||
| But really, if you get granular at the intersection of sort of the military-industrial complex, the worldview that buttressed the first Trump impeachment, he is the spokesperson for that, and I guess the Iraq war, but I digress on that. | ||
| So I want to play this clip. | ||
| He's talking on the bulwark, interesting choice of outlet to sort of give your take on, but he's speaking with Tim Miller. | ||
| And I want to just have people really pay attention to the body language when he's giving this interview. | ||
| I don't know about you. | ||
| I always look at the camera because I'm telling the truth. | ||
| He refuses to make eye contact with the camera. | ||
| He's talking particularly about what was contained in the text messages that he refused to share in The Atlantic, at least in the initial piece. | ||
| So, Denver, if you want to roll the clip, I think the audience should really pay attention to the way that he comports himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think, look, if the White House, now the Secretary of Defense and the White House Press Secretary have said you're lying, have said there are no war plans there, have said there's no classified information, so the obvious question is, shouldn't you now demonstrate it? | |
| Shouldn't you publish the text? | ||
| No, because they're wrong. | ||
| They're wrong. | ||
| But how can you prove that you're wrong? | ||
| Maybe should you provide them to the House and Senate Special Committees on Intelligence, maybe? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Wow. Well, you want to become my lawyer? | ||
| I'm throwing this out there, Jeff. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, look, I feel like... | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I mean, obviously, let me just put it this way. | ||
| My colleagues and I and the people who are giving us advice on this have some interesting conversations to have about this. | ||
| But just because they're irresponsible with material doesn't mean that I'm going to be irresponsible. | ||
| With this material. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Whatever. I mean, you've had long history, as I have, with dealing with them. | ||
| And at moments like this, when they're under pressure because they've been caught with their hand in the cookie jar or whatever, they will just literally say anything to get out of the moment, to get out of the jam. | ||
| And that's okay. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| I get the defensive reaction. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| My obligation, I feel is to the idea that we take national security information seriously. | ||
| And maybe in the coming days I'll be able to let you know that, okay, I have a plan to have this material vetted publicly. | ||
| But I'm not going to say that now because there's a lot of conversations that have to happen about that. | ||
| Makes sense. | ||
| And all of my inclinations, as you can tell, including withholding the name of the CIA undercover officer, all of my inclinations are... | ||
| I have a pretty clear standards in my own behavior of what I consider information that I consider to be in the public interest, even if it's technically classified or not. | ||
| Information that's in the public interest and information that's not in the public interest. | ||
| And I'm just going to like... | ||
| I'm sticking to my principles here. | ||
| Understood. Natalie Winters, please describe this individual's principles. | ||
| Please describe how he's handled classified information. | ||
| Please describe what he says is the sacred information he's dealt with in the past. | ||
| Ma'am, please. | ||
| Well, that's sort of the general air of hypocrisy, right? | ||
| Like The Atlantic has not published or worked to, I think, with classified, with leaked documents, whether under the Biden regime, under the first Trump administration. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| That's the only information that they deal with. | ||
| And I think that his extremely cagey and rather weird response to a not extremely hostile question, I think that's quite a defensive answer saying, well, do you want to be my lawyer? | ||
| All Tim Miller, I'll take Tim Miller's side in this, did is ask, hey, well, then why don't you show the text, right? | ||
| Frankly, that's what we should be... | ||
| I think he should be putting them out. | ||
| But I think, again, Steve, it's really important to, I think, view this in sort of the framing. | ||
| And it's certainly, I think, to some extent what the White House has been doing of the first impeachment, where the distinction, the difference is between the process versus the results, right? | ||
| And obviously the Washington consensus that Jeffrey Goldberg represents melted down, right, over his demeanor and conduct on that now infamous phone call back with Zelensky, right? | ||
| And now they don't like... | ||
| The conduct, the demeanor, which, sure. | ||
| Unforced error in this group chat. | ||
| But I think the White House's messaging today, in addition to downplaying and discounting, straight up saying that Jeffrey Goldberg is lying, Caroline Levitt tweeting out earlier saying, quote, no war plans were discussed and that no classified material was sent to the thread. | ||
| But they put out a long form sort of document circulated to the entire White House press pool saying the heading of it was, quote, Trump administration's actions made Houthi terrorists pay. | ||
| And they walk through a bunch of figures, numbers showing how. | ||
| I don't think any of these journalists around me had anything to say about that. | ||
| When that was happening, they noted how Biden had removed them from the list of foreign terrorist organizations, how President Trump reinstated them. | ||
| So what they're really doing is focusing on it. | ||
| And you even hear, I think, in President Trump's response to this, right? | ||
| The strike one is planned. | ||
| There was no issue in the carrying out the actual implementation of it. | ||
| And if you look at the results of these Overwhelmingly, they were successful, again, through their paradigm of success. | ||
| But I think that's the important distinction to have. | ||
| And the really just, I think, un-nuanced meltdown of my, dare I say, colleagues around here acting like this is just the original sin. | ||
| This is a cardinal sin of the Trump administration using a messaging app, the classified documents. | ||
| Clinton servers aside, it's quite hypocritical because last time I checked, all these people I've ever dealt with is leaking intentionally weaponizing information classified at that, too. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| I have Jack Posovic on the phone. | ||
| Jack, you just heard the clip. | ||
| You heard Natalie's analysis of the White House going on offense. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir. | ||
| Okay, I don't have Jack. | ||
| Okay. Do we have Jack up? | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| Natalie, once again, I want to get what the White House put out. | ||
| I want to get it up, and I want to get it to Grace and Amo and put it out everywhere because the White House is going on offense right now, taking a very hard stand against this. | ||
| I still believe that the appropriate response right now is still... | ||
| Tulsi Gabbards. | ||
| Review it internally. | ||
| You've already had Wicker over at the Senate Armed Services say he's going to investigate. | ||
| He's going to make it bipartisan and include Jack Reed and these radical Democrats in it. | ||
| So I think it's the time to hunker down for the White House and to make sure you have all the information. | ||
| Review it. | ||
| Take your time. | ||
| Don't be forced by these jackals and hyenas because they're going to try to quick march you every second of every day. | ||
| Your thoughts, ma'am? | ||
| Yeah, I think a lot of the comms' strategy, too, is to sort of attack and impugn Jeffrey Goldberg, right, as this obviously far-left Democrat activist, registered Democrat. | ||
| I think the wife's a Democrat donor. | ||
| But I think you're saying, and I agree, that it's already sort of conceding, right, too much ground, too much territory to them. | ||
| The proper answer is that it's under review. | ||
| What Ratcliffe did today I don't think was particularly helpful. | ||
| But I want to read the data points, too, from this fact sheet that the White House put out, just so you can sort of better understand their message. | ||
| They specifically called out how that Houthi terrorist had attacked U.S. warships 174 times and commercial vessels 145 times since 2023. | ||
| Like I said, the foreign terrorist designation. | ||
| And in bold, they really underscored that, quote, this is a coordinated effort to distract from the successful actions taken by President Trump and his administration to make America's enemies pay and keep Americans safe. | ||
| Natalie, your social media, where do people get you? | ||
| I know you're going to be on top of this nonstop. | ||
| Where do people go as the White House now hunkers down in this full-on assault by the deep state? | ||
| Yes, Natalie G. Winters on all social media platforms. | ||
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| Thanks. Great job. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We've got Congressman... | ||
| Ben Klein, he is actually on the House Intelligence Committee. | ||
| I'm going to ask him about his thoughts today about this hearing. | ||
| Also, we're going to ask Congressman Klein about Wicker. | ||
| Remember, Wicker wanted to drop – he talked about dropping tactical nuclear weapons. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| We had the big debate back in – about a year and a half ago when Mitch McConnell got taken out as the leader. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| He basically stepped down from that and said he was going to retire from Congress, which now he's in the process of doing. | ||
| Wicker is in that debate. | ||
| He's beyond a neocon. | ||
| The guy's a warmonger. | ||
| So short commercial break. | ||
| Home title lock. | ||
| We need you at the ramparts. | ||
| It's even going to get more intense in the next couple of days. | ||
| The deep state is coming from President Trump. | ||
| How do I say this? | ||
| The judicial insurrection is coming for President Trump. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| Home Title Lock. | ||
| $1 million triple lock protection. | ||
| Number one, they 24-7 cover your title. | ||
| Two, if anything happens in the middle of the night, they let you know. | ||
| Three, they have a $1 million restoration program, including legal, if anything happens. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Look, about your title, this is why we're going to need you at the Ramparts. | ||
| Whether you think this is a deep state psyop, or it's just the deep state at work, the way they do things. | ||
| This is a thing now. | ||
| There's always some flash polling out, how the media is running with this, what the American people think and want to see. | ||
| And I keep telling you, These neoliberal neocons in the Senate will get wobbly on you. | ||
| It's only 53-47. | ||
| You get a couple of votes. | ||
| Collins, she was sick today. | ||
| She was sick today. | ||
| Jack Posobiec, your thoughts on this? | ||
| This was a setup. | ||
| This committee hearing had been planned for weeks. | ||
| This is why the Atlantic Magazine waited nine days. | ||
| They were not getting this vetted by their lawyers for nine days. | ||
| They waited until the eve of this to drop it and then had set up an ambush for the senior high command of the intelligence apparatus for President Trump. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, this is absolutely an ambush that was certainly planned in coordination with the Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intel. | ||
| You're talking your Mark Werners, your Wydens, all the rest of them there. | ||
| There's no question in my mind that that's exactly what Jeff Goldberg was up to. | ||
| And the question that I have is, who on the Democrat staff knew about this? | ||
| How many of their colleagues let that look? | ||
| Look, you go up to that hearing and you think that, oh, we're just going to operate in good faith and they just want to get to the bottom of this. | ||
| No. They're looking to operationalize anything they can with a nullification project like they did in 2017. | ||
| They're already talking. | ||
| Wicker's up there. | ||
| He's talking about running concurrent investigations. | ||
| They want to get another Russia game so they can, what? | ||
| Impeachments. And then they're going to talk about running next year and they're going to turn that into we're going to impeach. | ||
| Whoever they can, up to and including President of the United States. | ||
| They're trying to run another Watergate play here. | ||
| It's so patently obvious what they're doing. | ||
| And that's exactly why I think the entire thing stinks. | ||
| And the fact that Jeffrey Goldberg, the guy who's been involved with Russiagate, the guy who was involved with the Iraq War, the guy who was involved with the Suckers and Losers hoax, is involved with this, it stinks to high heaven. | ||
| To know how programmed this was, you see Ossoff. | ||
| We played his, but he came at the very end. | ||
| He had had a couple of days to think through that. | ||
| Ossoff doesn't do that on the top of his head. | ||
| That was like a lawyer in a deposition. | ||
| He knew exactly where he was going to take it. | ||
| That came from practice. | ||
| Our belief is that the appropriate response today, Tulsi Gabbard, was, hey, it's under review. | ||
| Our belief now is the same. | ||
| You've got two committees, Armed Services, Senate Armed Services. | ||
| Where Wicker said he's going to open an investigation. | ||
| And you've got Senate Intelligence, who said they're going to continue this investigation. | ||
| The White House better hunker down hard on this. | ||
| And I think fight fire with fire. | ||
| This is why with Johnson, hey, it's not a better time. | ||
| I said this yesterday when the story first broke. | ||
| Now's the time that you have a couple of committee meetings, and let's get some of these radical judges up there, and let's see the radical judges, the coordination on the judicial insurrection, which is so obvious. | ||
| Jack Posobiec. | ||
| Look, you need this. | ||
| And of course, by the way, Lieutenant Colonel Gabbard understands what's going on. | ||
| She was a Democrat. | ||
| She was on their side of the football. | ||
| She's seen them do this a million times. | ||
| And so the minute that she saw this play coming up, that's how she said, you know what? | ||
| Hard line. | ||
| I'm not going to give you any rope with which to hang me. | ||
| So I'm locked down. | ||
| We're not talking about this. | ||
| This is going to the lawyers. | ||
| Lawyers are going to deal with it. | ||
| We're not going to discuss it here, period. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Secondly, what you need to start doing is flipping back on this, going and looking at the Democrats, looking at the Democrat staffers. | ||
| Sure, fine. | ||
| Go look at the judge, and I see Johnson says, okay, he wants to look at non-impeachment possibilities, whether it's the, you know, he gave that quote out earlier today, so whatever, whether it's... | ||
| You know, whether it's budgetary or whether it's getting rid of a couple of two districts, because, by the way, those districts are not constitutional. | ||
| It actually says the Supreme Court may create such districts, and this is, in fact, a check on the judiciary, one which the legislative never really uses. | ||
| But certainly anyone, I'll defer to the Article 3 project on that. | ||
| But it's absolutely constitutional. | ||
| It's something that we never even really discussed with the power of the federal government. | ||
| But look, the momentum here is that the administration, they seem like they're on the defensive. | ||
| They're trying to make the Greenland story come up again, which I know they have this planned visit. | ||
| JD Vance says that he's going out there. | ||
| By the way, in the midst of all of this, we have the Ukraine-Russia negotiations are going on right now in Riyadh. | ||
| You've got the expert team sitting down. | ||
| They just announced essentially a new grain deal that's come out. | ||
| The ceasefire has taken hold. | ||
| Of course, both sides blaming each other for taking it off. | ||
| But again, there's... | ||
| So many things that are happening around the world with the Trump agenda. | ||
| That's why it's stuff like this that starts gumming up the works, and now all of a sudden the flood-the-zone strategy is getting broken up because of this type of thing, and it only is going to get amplified by the media. | ||
| Don't stop. | ||
| All offense. | ||
| Jack, social media, where do people get you? | ||
| You're putting up stuff 24-7 on this story, sir. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| We're at Jack Posobiec, up on X, on Telegram, up on Truth. | ||
| And by the way, we had a huge deep dive with Richard Barris on all the pollsters, by the way, that are going belly up in the wake of the 2024 election. | ||
| That nobody wants to talk about that. | ||
| How come there's no narrative about these quote-unquote gold-standard pollsters going belly up after 2024? | ||
| Belly up. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Look forward to having you on tomorrow. | ||
| Follow-up on the story. | ||
| We're going to have Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell on blow-away numbers for President Trump. | ||
| Talked about on CNN this morning. | ||
| We'll have him on also about the mass deportations. | ||
| I want to go now to Virginia 6, Congressman Ben Klein. | ||
| Congressman Klein, correct me if I'm wrong, you're on House Intel. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what you've seen and heard so far on this story about the Signal incident, sir. | ||
| Well, we've heard a lot of noise. | ||
| A lot of the media really spinning this up. | ||
| The president has said he has confidence in Mike Waltz, keeping him on board. | ||
| And we have questions. | ||
| We're gonna ask them tomorrow. | ||
| Follow up on the Senate's questioning today. | ||
| We're gonna be an open session. | ||
| We're gonna be in a closed session. | ||
| And we're gonna get- All the answers, and we're gonna continue on. | ||
| And the important thing to remember is, this administration is fighting terrorism where they live. | ||
| Fighting it in Yemen, fighting the Houthis, who are attacking commercial vessels, who are attacking Israel. | ||
| And the Americans have responded, responded strongly and successfully, very efficient operation. | ||
| We need to continue the focus on the terrorists. | ||
| So, Congressman, how are you going to, today, we cover this gavel-to-gavel for the unclassified part. | ||
| The assessment that the intelligence community has done is so important and talks about major threats. | ||
| We barely got any of that. | ||
| The Democrats took over the hearing. | ||
| The Republicans asked great questions, but were overwhelmed by the Democrats, and we played at the cold open. | ||
| It led to a crescendo of screaming at certain witnesses. | ||
| How, given the House, the House Democrats are twice as crazy as the ones in the Senate, How are you guys gonna keep control of that tomorrow, sir? | ||
| We're gonna make sure that we stay focused on what this hearing was originally noticed for, which was global threat environment. | ||
| We're gonna talk about China. | ||
| We're gonna talk about Russia. | ||
| We're gonna talk about Iran. | ||
| We're gonna talk about North Korea. | ||
| We're gonna talk about the border and the cartels. | ||
| We're gonna talk about the drug trade. | ||
| It's a very, very focused agenda. | ||
| This is a hearing that we have. | ||
| On a regular basis. | ||
| And the fact that this reporter waited and held on to this information until the day before is of concern as well. | ||
| It shows an attempt to play politics with the intelligence of the United States, with the intelligence community, and with the national security of the United States. | ||
| And so we are going to make sure that we stay focused on the issues that are important to this nation. | ||
| And that is fighting terrorism, And making sure we protect this country against foreign threats and those international forces like cartels, like the drug trade that are threatening us as well. | ||
| Okay, so we started the show today. | ||
| We're not conspiracy theorists. | ||
| We're the opposite, but we said there's no coincidences. | ||
| Let's go back. | ||
| This has been on the books for a while. | ||
| The incident happened on the 15th. | ||
| He waits until the afternoon of the day before the Senate and two days before the House to release it. | ||
| Does it not look like a coordinated, deep state, democratic, intel community ambush, sir? | ||
| That does give me concern, and I'm sure that there will be questions about that. | ||
| And if it did rise to the importance that Mr. Goldberg claimed that it did, then he would have released it immediately and spoken to the concerns that he had about it. | ||
| Instead, he waited until the day before a hearing to Reveal it and distract from really the agenda that we have tomorrow, which is the national security, the foreign threats, the entities like those who are engaged in fentanyl trade, which kill over 50,000 people in the United States last year alone. | ||
| Congressman, you just got back from a week in the district, Virginia 6. It's kind of one of the heartlands of this country. | ||
| I mean, these are hardworking folks. | ||
| Where are their heads at in President Trump's first 60 days, sir? | ||
| They could not be more excited about this administration, what it's accomplished in just... | ||
| Just under two months, making sure that we move forward on reconciliation, on extending the Trump tax cuts, making sure we have fair trade laws vis-a-vis other countries around the world, engaging in trade negotiations with other countries, making sure we make the way that we're treated by other countries more fair. | ||
| Great job there, securing the border. | ||
| Fantastic job, successful, a 90%, 95% reduction in appearances at the border. | ||
| And so I think my district is overwhelmingly in favor of what Trump's accomplished in just a short time, delivering on his promises, and we look forward to more successes down the line. | ||
| What do they think of the philosophy of flood the zone, all gas, no brake? | ||
| What's their perception, your constituents' perception of that? | ||
| Well, I know my colleagues in the House are trying to play catch up a lot with the administration, and this administration is smart to keep its foot on the gas, to push through. | ||
| And now, to my constituents, I think most of them are excited for whatever their concerns were. | ||
| They're excited about the steps that this administration has taken, returning control over education to states and localities and parents. | ||
| That's something Glenn Youngkin ran on and won on in his run for governor because it was up in Loudoun County where those school boards were ignoring parents, arresting parents for daring to speak out against the indoctrination that was going on of their kids. | ||
| And so it's ground zero. | ||
| For these types of concerns that are being addressed by this administration. | ||
| And to take the woke, to take the DEI out of the federal government is a great accomplishment for them. | ||
| Congressman Klein, how do people follow you? | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Rep Ben Klein is the Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and I encourage people to keep in touch and visit. | ||
| We're going to cover gavel to gavel tomorrow. | ||
| We'll hope to see you there. | ||
| Thank you, Congressman Klein. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Virginia 6. God's country, man. | ||
| Congressman Ben Klein. | ||
| What did he say? | ||
| His constituents, they love the all gas, no brake. | ||
| Go on offense. | ||
| White House, go on offense. | ||
| This is the deep state. | ||
| It's the twin pillars now. | ||
| They've got the resistance, the current revolution, but they've got two main pincer moves. | ||
| A radical judicial insurrection at the federal level, and now the deep state coming for the intel part of President Trump's administration. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Julie Kelly, Mike Davis next. | ||
| Lastly, sir, we have an executive order for your attention on the very important subject of election integrity. | ||
| We believe that this executive order is the farthest reaching executive action taken in the history of the Republic to secure our elections. | ||
| Among numerous other aspects of this executive order, this is going to cut down on illegal immigrants on the voter rolls, ensure that the Department of Homeland Security and the data that they have available is being fully weaponized to ensure that illegal immigrants aren't voting. | ||
| This will include a citizenship question on the federal voting form for the first time. | ||
| This executive order instructs the EAC. | ||
| To cut federal funding to states that don't take reasonable steps to secure their election. | ||
| This calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously prosecute election crimes, particularly in states that we don't believe are in compliance with federal law around election integrity. | ||
| I could go on and on for a while, sir, but compliance with National Election Day rules, cracking down and investigating and prosecuting foreign interference in our elections, revoking President Biden's... | ||
| Executive Order 14-019, which essentially weaponized government to corrupt and pollute our election process. | ||
| There's a lot in here, but we believe that these are very important steps that we need to be taking as an administration at your direction to ensure that our elections are as secure as they possibly can be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. You all understand that? | |
| Yes? Election fraud. | ||
| You've heard the term. | ||
| We'll end it, hopefully. | ||
| At least this will go a long way toward ending it. | ||
| There are other steps that we will be taking in the coming weeks, and we think we'll be able to end up getting fair elections. | ||
| Perhaps some people think I shouldn't be complaining because we wanted a landslide, but we've got to straighten out our election. | ||
| This country is so sick because of the election, the fake elections and the ban elections. | ||
| And we're going to straighten it out one way or the other. | ||
| And we're going to turn it over to the other side. | ||
| And it's an honor to sign this one. | ||
| To sign all of them, but to sign this one is a great honor. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's a great honor. | ||
| And we've still got to investigate 2020. | ||
| You heard what he said right there, the most important thing. | ||
| What happened to the country because they stole the election. | ||
| And President Trump's not doing what he just said. | ||
| He just won in a landslide. | ||
| Popular vote, all the battleground states, 312, 316. | ||
| Electoral votes. | ||
| One everywhere. | ||
| Every place. | ||
| Every demographic. | ||
| Except for college-educated women. | ||
| That's for another day. | ||
| But he knows that he's got to sign this. | ||
| We've got to get back to it. | ||
| And we've got to make sure the election platforms, that we have election integrity. | ||
| Now, Mike Lindell, this is how I'm telling you. | ||
| Folks, take your number two personal right now. | ||
| These state attorney generals, they're going to be the assassins. | ||
| Mike Lindell was going to be there today. | ||
| Mike Lindell's worked his tail off for this, but Mike Lindell's at the company. | ||
| Mike Lindell's focused on the company. | ||
| Why? Because they're trying to put Mike Lindell to business. | ||
| Mike, how historic a day was this? | ||
| You guys have fought the entire group. | ||
| Stern, everybody fought for this day to have his executive order signed. | ||
| What's in it? | ||
| Why is it important, sir? | ||
| This is historical. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| This is amazing. | ||
| It's one of my happiest days. | ||
| I like when the president said other steps we will be taking. | ||
| You all know one of the things I want to put in there, melt down the voting machines and turn them into prison bars, but that's for another day. | ||
| One of the biggest things, you start from the top here, I'm going to kind of frame this, mandatory voting ID with proof of citizenship. | ||
| What a concept, right? | ||
| You have to have a government. | ||
| You have to have mandatory. | ||
| This isn't just, okay, maybe in some states, maybe not in others. | ||
| Because what he also put in there was all federal funding is going to be tied to this election, this executive order. | ||
| So you want to do something like that lady from Maine when she says, I really like men and women's sports. | ||
| No, you don't. | ||
| We're going to defund you. | ||
| So this is great that he put that in there. | ||
| No more ballots counting after Election Day. | ||
| Okay, that's it. | ||
| None of this nonsense that went on in the 2024 election where it took two weeks for these ballots to be counted. | ||
| And it's funny how they all went to the Democrats, all these down tickets they stole in the 2024 election. | ||
| I'm talking to everybody. | ||
| So we got rid of that. | ||
| No more counting ballots after election day. | ||
| Now paper ballots, you got to have paper ballots, but with no QR codes and no barcodes. | ||
| This is, it's kind of like This one's a little harder to understand, and I haven't dove into it all on this one, but basically saying we're not gonna have machines running with these papers. | ||
| Nobody knows what was behind these QR codes. | ||
| This came up in a lot of states during our fight, everybody. | ||
| Nobody knew what was behind that and what you were even doing. | ||
| And so that's in there. | ||
| And this is another one that- It needs a little more. | ||
| Biden's EO 14019 was officially revoked. | ||
| That was another one. | ||
| I don't know a lot about it, but the list goes on and on. | ||
| Steve, this is probably 70% of everything my teams have been fighting for out there. | ||
| And everyone's going, well, what? | ||
| And you heard him say, other steps will be taken. | ||
| And so this is, to me, this is just a giant step forward to finally get the most, go from worst to first. | ||
| Right now, we have the worst election platforms in the history of the world, in the history of the world. | ||
| No one has worse. | ||
| But we're gonna go from worst to first now. | ||
| This brings it up there. | ||
| And I'm gonna tell you, everybody. | ||
| My excitement is all my teams that work across all 50 states, the cause of America, our election bureau, all of us out there that have worked tirelessly for four years, and including the precinct strategist, Steve Stearns and everyone. | ||
| Now, I believe, Steve, we're going to be able to go into these counties and states and say, hey. | ||
| Point to what the president just did today and say, hey, he wants to have secure elections. | ||
| What do you mean we can't do this, this, or this? | ||
| And we're going to call them out. | ||
| We're going to call every one of these uniparty blockers out. | ||
| And I'm really looking forward to that because... | ||
| A great day. | ||
| We signed the executive order on election integrity. | ||
| Sell me a pillow. | ||
