There you go. | |
| Jack, have a great show. | ||
| Have a great weekend. | ||
| Alright, thanks. | ||
| You too, Eric. | ||
| Okay, War Room starts now. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||

Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The people have had a belly full of it. | |
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
|

|
It's going to happen. | |
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
|

Mega media. | |
| I wish, in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

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

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | ||
| you you | ||
| All right, folks, Jack Posobiec here, sitting in for the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Today is April 11th, 2025. | ||
| Anno Domini. | ||
| Steve taking a little bit of sabbatical right now. | ||
| He's off recording a show with Bill Maher for HBO. | ||
| We know that's going to be a knockdown, drag-out interview, and he's going to give it to him, I'm sure, about President Trump's latest policies and about how all of this, everything... | ||
| Since War Room Pandemic Episode 1, everything has been building to this moment about the singular confrontation with China since President Trump came down that escalator almost 10 years ago, to be 10 years in June, June 16th. | ||
| It has always been about China and restoring the dignity and the prosperity to the working men and women of this country, about rejecting the false song of globalism that saw China and places like Shenzhen and Shanghai | ||
| and the Chinese Communist Party built up while our own cities were destroyed. | ||
| Our deaths of despair went up and our fentanyl deaths went up. | ||
| Oh, by the way, also flooded by who? | ||
| The Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| But we do have breaking news. | ||
| And so I was planning on on talking about China some more. | ||
| We have breaking news right now out of Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| Yes, the very same Butler, Pennsylvania from all the way back July 13th, 2024. | ||
| This individual, we're told, was stockpiling body armor, weapons, ammunition, and has been saying that I was buying one gun a month since the election. | ||
| Also, he used the moniker online on YouTube. | ||
| Mr. Satan. | ||
| There is a quote that I want to read from him here, and he says, we just need, and I don't want to say this, and this is heady stuff, but look, this is what we're up against, folks. | ||
| This individual says, We just need to start killing people. | ||
| Trump, Elon, all the heads of agencies Trump appointed, anyone who stands in the way. | ||
| I'm reading directly from the Department of Justice release here, the criminal complaint. | ||
| He says, remember, we are the majority. | ||
| MAGA is a minority of the country, and by the time it's time to make the move, they will be weakened. | ||
| Many will be crushed by these policies. | ||
| They want revenge too. | ||
| American Revolution 2.0. | ||
| And the comments just get worse and worse after that. | ||
| Now, I wanted to bring on here to walk us through this pathology and also what's going on the co-author of both books on humans, the | ||
| The Secret History of Communist Revolutions, How to Crush Them, and Butler, The Truth About How President Trump Survived His Assassin, Two Assassination Temps, Joshua Lysak, now joins us on the war room. | ||
| Joshua, how are you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Put me on, Jack. | |
| So, Joshua, when we're looking at this pathology, the fact that this individual is targeting Elon Musk, targeting President Trump, has become so violent, is this a pathology that we're seeing among the left since they've fallen out of power? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It goes to before that, actually. | |
| It's just a more recent and reactionary version of it. | ||
| When we go back and look at as far back as 2015, 2016, 2017, before and during the 45th presidency, Donald J. Trump, what we witnessed was language of violence. | ||
| So we know that there's an organization called Indivisible that has been Running, organizing, throwing off a lot of these protests that have been happening recently, recently. | ||
| But the language that they have been using has been used for a very long time, and we've seen violence against Trump supporters up to and including murder for a very long time. | ||
| And if we go and look at their websites, it looks, in my opinion, it looks like the language of physical action is used ambiguously. | ||
| So they'll use language like fight back, stop the coup, take action on your home turf. | ||
| It sounds a bit territorial, doesn't it? | ||
| But then, of course, they'll have this little statement like our commitment to nonviolence, which you have to click through a menu and get way, way down further to find that. | ||
| But leading up to the assassination attempts of President Donald J. Trump, then candidate, just this past year, what we observed was that same language of fight, attack, stop, do whatever it takes, juxtaposed with the imagery of Trump being literally Hitler, | ||
| or like literally Julius Caesar, like literally a dictator, and those adverbs, or rather bad verbs, used way too much. | ||
| And so it's very clear they're saying, stop, fight back, defend, attack, do whatever it takes, force them to stop, fight. | ||
| Next to pictures of, let's say, one of the popular images last year was Trump with the Hitler mustache. | ||
| It's pretty clear what it is they want someone like Thomas Matthew Crooks or Ryan Wesley Ruth to do. | ||
| But they remain plausibly deniable. | ||
| Or being able to have plausible deniability, say, oh, we didn't say literally attack. | ||
| We meant figuratively. | ||
| Look, there's our statement against violence. | ||
| Well, and this is something that I want to get into because, so we wrote the book Unhumans about how the left had embraced violent communism. | ||
| And then, what, four days later, four days after the book comes out, President Trump is under bullet fire. | ||
| Corey Comparatore is killed in the stands. | ||
| Other individuals are shot. | ||
| And President Trump is saved only by the grace of God and a miracle that we all saw there in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| And so one thing that... | ||
| So we wrote another book called Bulletproof all about this. | ||
| And... What's interesting, though, and people need to understand it, so Thomas Matthew Crooks did not live in Butler, Pennsylvania himself. | ||
| He lived in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, about 45 minutes to an hour away from Butler Park, essentially to the south-southwest. | ||
| And so, Joshua, in the context of writing the book Bulletproof, and we both traveled out to Butler, we also received information regarding... | ||
| Potential communications that Thomas Matthew Crooks was having in the lead up to that shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| And I'm sure the question on everyone's mind is, do you think or is it possible there is a connection between these two individuals? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is the question of the day. | |
| Our hypothesis, which we ran via a social experiment, was that there is such an...impossibly low odds that all of the things that happened that day, July 13th, in Butler, | ||
| it's the odds of it all happening by chance, that all of those security failures happening simultaneously, so impossibly rare that it defies explanation. | ||
| and we used ChatGPT 4.0, and it spat out an impossibly long number, saying the chances are one in 0000.000000, off almost into infinity, basically. | ||
| You're more likely to be struck twice by lightning | ||
| And when we begin to peel back the possibility of a direct connection, what we don't see is something like a smoking gun, but what we do see is... | ||
| What we do see is a perpetual insistence that we have to fight back, we have to stop. | ||
| And what we do see now and then were, let's call them deep state apparatchiks, these people who are unelected and unaccountable, working deep in the government, who've got a bone to pick with the president, with Donald Trump. | ||
| And so it would be easy to try to spin up some sort of a grand web of things to try to explain it all. | ||
| But generally, at the end of the day, history is made and history is changed by very small groups of people who are highly motivated to do something. | ||
| They have motive, they have means, and they have opportunity. | ||
| What they do all have in common, or rather in this case with Thomas Matthew Crooks in Butler and then Ryan Wesley-Ruth in West Palm Beach, Florida, is the three of them do share those three, the motive, the means, and the opportunity. | ||
| President Trump was briefed on Thomas Matthew Crooks. | ||
| He came away from that briefing, that private briefing from the FBI, believing that Crooks was motivated by being, quote unquote, very liberal. | ||
| Of course, Ryan Wesley-Ruth wrote this whole manifesto calling for assassination, calling for overthrow and prevention of Republicans having any control in the government. | ||
| So they certainly seem that they possessed the same worldview. | ||
| We can certainly get into the details of potential worldviews. | ||
| We want to say, here's what we know, and here's what we don't, and here's what we still need to find out. | ||
| Well, I think that's safe, and obviously the close proximity to both of them is going to ask, or have people asking a lot of questions. | ||
| This individual, Ralph, by the way, we just found out a couple of days ago in a disclosure from the DOJ that he actually was attempting to procure anti-aircraft missiles, Stinger missiles, as well as rocket-propelled grenades from | ||
| contacts who – | ||
| And this is a very key phrase. | ||
| He believed to be associated with the military of Ukraine. | ||
| We know that Ryan Routh – this was so for folks following – I know there's a lot of names that Routh was the second attempted assassin of President Trump. | ||
| This was the one down at West Palm Beach at Trump International Golf Course who had himself been a prior Ukrainian. | ||
| His target was Trump Force One, Trump's aircraft, during the campaign. | ||
| And we remember, of course, and this is, you know, something where suddenly, wait a minute, the research from that period is coming back to me. | ||
| We knew that there were all of these rumors at the time of threats to President Trump's aircraft, credible threats, threats so credible that at one point the campaign, and it's been widely reported at this point, was actually using decoy aircraft to have to travel on, | ||
| and it is possible that some of this information may be connected to Ralph. | ||
| Now, his trial is still yet to come, and so not all of the information is out, but Joshua, two minutes before the break here. | ||
| Just summarize it for us. | ||
| This is an unhuman plot. | ||
| This is an unhuman pathology. | ||
| And these people, they aren't interested in conversation anymore. | ||
| They want us dead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. And you yourself went to the It was to the Republican National Convention there last year, just days after President Trump survived the assassination attempt. | |
| And you had people on Human Events Daily interviewing protesters, anti-Trump protesters on the streets. | ||
| And you could not find a single person out of likely thousands of people, thousands of people, protesters, Democrats, liberals, progressives. | ||
| Ironically, having signs that had like the peace sign and love Trump's hate sorts of slogans over here saying, no, in fact, we are not willing to denounce violence against President Trump or then candidate Trump or Trump supporters. | ||
| And of course, now famously, something close to a majority of registered Democratic voters do in fact wish death upon the president and upon Elon Musk and upon his closest associates. | ||
| And this is why you do not see widespread condemnation of Thomas Matthew Crookes. | ||
| This is why we see, in fact, an embrace of characters like him, like Luigi Mangione, like this individual who, upon being asked to vacate his seat, decides, I'm going to whip out a knife and stab this guy in the heart, the Austin Metcalf scenario. | ||
| It's just a troubled situation. | ||
| And by the way, in the situation where not only that, we see hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing to his accounts. | ||
| Joshua, tell us again, where are the books, where can people get them, and where can people follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, Unhumans and Bulletproof are both available through Amazon and elsewhere. | |
| Fine books are sold, including in bookstores. | ||
| And I am at Joshua Lisek on X, frequently retweeted by Poso and other War Room Posse folks. | ||
| All right, go give him a follow, folks. | ||
| Joshua Lysak, this book, Unhumans, The Secret History of Communist Revolutions. | ||
| If you're not interested in communism, you better wake up, because communism is interested in you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be right back here in the war room. | |
| I got American, baby. | ||
| In America's heart. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| All right, Jack Pacific back here on The War Room. | ||
| I want to bring in now the People's Pundit, Rich Barris, because, you know, I was watching CNN a little bit earlier today. | ||
| Don't worry, folks, we watch it so you don't have to. | ||
| And Rich, your boy Harry Enten's up there saying he's shocked! | ||
| He's shocked. | ||
| He's getting shocked because all of a sudden he says, wait a minute, the Republican Party, even after all the trade war, even after a week of tariffs, et cetera, taking it to the Chinese Communist Party, he was sure, he was sure that the American people would be turning on Trump, | ||
| that it would all be over. | ||
| But that's not actually what's happening. | ||
| Rich, tell us what Harry Enten found as such a shock today in the polls. | ||
| Gee willigers, Wally! | ||
| You know? | ||
| Holy Toledo, Batman! | ||
| This guy's filled with these. | ||
| It's like watching a 50s sitcom or something. | ||
| Even though he's probably half my age. | ||
| He looks like he just got out of high school. | ||
| Look, this is confusing and very difficult to poll people on tariffs. | ||
| You and I have talked about this over the years. | ||
| We've polled on tariffs quite a bit. | ||
| There's a right way and a wrong way to do it. | ||
| You have to get to the context of how people view these things and these issues like tariffs and how those views will impact how they vote. | ||
| So if you're Harry Enten, you're going to be confused because you think the Reuters poll is a good poll. | ||
| I don't know what to tell them, you know, but the bottom line is, especially in the Midwest, the American public for long has felt that other countries get the better end of unfair trade deals that have hurt them. | ||
| And if you ask them whether or not they're willing to deal with pain in order to take things back the way they used to be, they will do it. | ||
| They are willing to do it. | ||
| Obviously, this is not 2017 or even 2016 anymore. | ||
| Donald Trump's been talking about tariffs as a presidential candidate, Jack, as a presidential candidate since 2016, and he's been talking about tariffs as an average citizen for decades, decades. | ||
| They knew where he stood on it. | ||
| The media's been effective at how they're rolling with this, but what does this matter? | ||
| Because Trump and an issue like tariffs has changed the way that the American public views the two parties, whereas the Democrats used to be viewed as the party for my entire polling career. | ||
| It was always, who do you trust more? | ||
| Or who do you think cares about people like me more? | ||
| And it was always the Democratic Party because they were always the party of the working man and woman, the little guy. | ||
| The party of the people. | ||
| The party of the people, yeah. | ||
| We're for the little guy. | ||
| Republicans are for the elite. | ||
| So all of a sudden, what Harry Antony found, after the tariffs comes out, and I just want to click in on this, that all of a sudden, it's now a tide, where 50% of people, for the first time ever, actually believe that it's the Republicans, | ||
| and this is the Trump Republicans, let's be very clear about this, it's the Trump-led Republican Party, the Trump Coalition, Actually has the best interests of all Americans at heart for the first time since they've been doing the poll. | ||
| That's astounding. | ||
| Who can't stand the tariffs? | ||
| And they're losing it. | ||
| They're losing their minds. | ||
| The tariffs are such a good issue to explain this because who's mad about the tariffs? | ||
| Well, Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan. | ||
| I mean, that's who's mad about the tariffs, right? | ||
| It's not the UAW. | ||
| It's not UAW President Sean Fain is coming out and praising a Republican president. | ||
| Folks, that doesn't happen ever in our lifetime. | ||
| And it just doesn't happen. | ||
| And it's not Gretchen Whitmer who went to the White House, a Democratic governor. | ||
| It's the Panikins! | ||
| All the panicans, all the panicans are running around saying Trump's going to lose everything. | ||
| Trump's going to lose the midterms. | ||
| And suddenly Trump's numbers are actually going up because the American people can understand that if you're not someone who's directly involved in doing business with the Chinese Communist Party, if not one of these people that's been sending our | ||
| foreign direct investment to places like Shenzhen and Shanghai and all of these places over at Chongqing, building the Three Gorges Dam and all that, all that big, beautiful dam. | ||
| I certainly hope there aren't any cracks in that dam anytime. | ||
| So I know the rainy season is coming, folks. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| It's coming up, the plum rains of China. | ||
| I remember it well from when I lived there. | ||
| It just rains for a month straight. | ||
| But people need to understand that this was all – and I think, Rich, what do we keep saying? | ||
| You've been screaming it from the rooftops for half a decade, probably a decade plus. | ||
| working class voter in this country is not stupid. | ||
| They're busy. | ||
| They're not stupid. | ||
| They understand China's getting richer. | ||
| We're getting poorer. | ||
| Will somebody please do something about it? | ||
| And I got to tell you, if you followed our polling throughout the primary season, then you would have seen this coming. | ||
| Because you really just brought it up. | ||
| You said, make no mistake, this is the MAGA Republican Party that when people are answering this question, this is what they're really considering. | ||
| This is what they're thinking about. | ||
| Well, going back to the spring during the Republican presidential primary in 2024, we could already see Trump on that question in our polling. | ||
| Start to tie, start to inch ahead. | ||
| When we would ask specifically about people, who do you think cares about people like you? | ||
| We could see him inch ahead of Biden, inch ahead of Harris. | ||
| And we blew the whistle back then. | ||
| And we said, this is huge. | ||
| This doesn't happen. | ||
| Everybody pay attention. | ||
| Few did. | ||
| But now here we are, Jack. | ||
| I mean, the bottom line is, if you look at that question, folks, you'll see that college educated voters haven't budged. | ||
| If you look at Harry Enten's segment, he'll show. | ||
| He even points that out. | ||
| Plus 18 for Democrats three years ago, plus 18 for Democrats now. | ||
| It's all come from the middle and the working class, which actually are plus nine Republican. | ||
| And somebody had asked me, well, how could it be even if there's so many more college educated voters? | ||
| And I think it's dawned on me. | ||
| People don't realize, unlike what that would be assassin just said, there are far more of you than there are of them. | ||
| In a state like Pennsylvania, it's 60% non-college degree. | ||
| Georgia, 63% non-college degree. | ||
| We can go all through the battleground states, and you will see it's the same thing in that national poll. | ||
| The reason why it's tied is because there are more non-college, there are more working class, there are more middle class than there are of the elites or the credentialed class. | ||
| No, and this is what it's like, you know, I always talk about coming from Pennsylvania, and I'm from the eastern side of the state, but then you, you know, you kind of get to, you get to, you get to Lancaster, and suddenly a whole new state begins, and you're like, whoa, you get out of that Acela bubble, and the rest of the state don't look like the Philadelphia area, | ||
| don't look like the southeast, welcome to Pencil Tucky. | ||
| And, you know, this is the Amish country. | ||
| Right, and that's where the Rust Belt is, especially up to the Northeast, across to Erie, and then down to the Pittsburgh area. | ||
| That's where it is, too, because look, you know, even... | ||
| The majority of people, they're not invested in the market the way they used to be either, by the way, to all the pandacans out there. | ||
| They don't have money to buy the dip. | ||
| They don't have money at all. | ||
| You're talking about people in this country. | ||
| They want their salary to mean something, and they want to have to stop using credit cards to make basic ends meet in this country. | ||
| This is the economic situation that put Trump in office. | ||
| Now, you can you can have a good faith debate about whether tariffs are the right answer and this is the right way to go about things, etc. | ||
| But what you can't have a debate about is the fact that this is exactly what President Trump said at at every single stop. | ||
| He was we were going to deport the illegals and we're going to raise tariffs. | ||
| He was very clear about this. | ||
| He said it so much that somebody actually took a shot at him as he was trying to say it. | ||
| And he even brings up a well-known now liberal media talking point that, oh yeah, we'd just be able to do this because even his own voters are starting to not support him anymore. | ||
| First of all, that's ludicrous. | ||
| That's absolutely ludicrous. | ||
| Of course they are. | ||
| But where did he get that from? | ||
| He got it from CNN. | ||
| He got it from MSNBC. | ||
| They want you to panic. | ||
| Believe me when I tell you that Jamie Dimon and JP Morgan would love for you to panic and sell. | ||
| They love it when markets crash. | ||
| They love it when there's recession. | ||
| They love it when there's a crisis. | ||
| Those are buying opportunities for these guys. | ||
| They get richer when you panic and it crashes than they do when things are good. | ||
| And that is just the sad reality of Wall Street. | ||
| It's the sad reality. | ||
| It's the demon of our own design, folks. | ||
| We make these panics. | ||
| We create them. | ||
| We saw this in COVID. | ||
| We saw it in COVID. | ||
| We saw it in COVID. | ||
| This was the entire COVID process all over again. | ||
| And now, you know, tariffs of the new COVID. | ||
| Oh, oh, we got it. | ||
| Everybody needs to sell. | ||
| And then so who sells, right? | ||
| The people who sell are the people that aren't involved in the hedge funds. | ||
| They're not involved in this stuff at the higher level. | ||
| They're the ones say, oh, my gosh, something's going on. | ||
| You got to pull out. | ||
| So they pull out because they're trusted. | ||
| You know, they're trusted influence of choice, whichever it is, is telling them to sell. | ||
| Then the hedge fund comes in, gobbles that all up, and then boom, stock goes right back up the minute they stop talking about it. | ||
| And I wish that after these types of panics that are generated by social media, that after the COVID experience that people – and look. | ||
| They totally understand all of this stuff. | ||
| That's what Steve does here day in, day out. | ||
| He also explains about the bond market and he explains about more governments than howitzers, etc., etc. | ||
| That's why people understand in the war room audience because you have the financial literacy. | ||
| But Rich, it's so true. | ||
| Just a last minute, but we could go off on it for much longer. | ||
| They don't want you to be financially literate in this country, do they? | ||
| No. Absolutely not. | ||
| They call it dumb money on Wall Street. | ||
| Listen, I'm ashamed to say I was once a part of it. | ||
| I was. | ||
| I didn't always use my skills for what I now think is a better cause. | ||
| Once upon a time, the easy way, or the more attractive way when you're young, is to use it to make money. | ||
| And they call regular America dumb money. | ||
| By the way... | ||
| Listen, real quick, you guys should watch the movie, Dumb Money. | ||
| It's great, but it's a great example of when, for once, the little guy stuck it to the hedge fund managers. | ||
| Rich Barris, where can people go to follow you, brother? | ||
| Yeah, peoplespundit.locals.com, folks. | ||
| peoplespundit.locals.com. | ||
| No dumb money over there, brother. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The People's Pundit, here live in the War Room. | |
| We'll be right back. | ||
| We're going to Minneapolis, another place that's been broken by this cabal, but perhaps can be fixed by the truth. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| All right, Jack Posobiec back here in the war room. | ||
| You're live. | ||
| And I want to talk about a case that, you know, a lot of people don't talk about it anymore. | ||
| It's a case that I've talked about on social media a lot over the past couple of years. | ||
| It's a case that, you know, really captured the nation a couple of years back, but also one that people just really haven't been following. | ||
| And that's the case of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. | ||
| And this has gotten a lot of attention. | ||
| People have been asking about it, the White House press briefings. | ||
| There's been a big push from a lot of people for a federal pardon for Derek Chauvin. | ||
| And there's a lot of questions that are now starting to actually come up regarding the trial itself, the original trial of Derek Chauvin several years ago now. | ||
| And so one of the things that happened at that trial, which was reported on later, was | ||
| And we all remember the video of George Floyd. | ||
| Remember the moment. | ||
| Remember how he felt. | ||
| But the question was, was this an authorized neck restraint or not? | ||
| And what the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis found was actually it was authorized at the time. | ||
| Well, wait a minute. | ||
| If this was authorized, then why isn't it on the police department? | ||
| Why are they going after one guy? | ||
| Well, we have with us the producer of that documentary. | ||
| She's an investigative reporter from Alpha News based there in Minneapolis. | ||
| It's Liz Collin. | ||
| Liz, you've been doing the yeoman's work on this case. | ||
| Tell us what you've uncovered and the roller coaster that it's been since then regarding the use of the neck restraint and the police department's testimony in Derek Chauvin's trial. | ||
| Plus, by the way, a new court ruling that just happened this week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, good to see you again, Jack. | |
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| But you're right, it seems almost every day a little bit more of the truth is coming to light in Minneapolis. | ||
| and really appreciate the spotlight you've given this and given us to our work over at Alpha News. | ||
| But I was with the CBS station for many, many years in Minneapolis and left mainstream media really just to be able to tell the truth about this case. | ||
| It's so bothered how this lie was pushed, not even throughout Minnesota, but throughout the country. | ||
| And it spread across the globe, to be quite honest, lies by so many people. | ||
| And now we have Derek Chauvin, who remains in prison, serving a nearly 21-year prison sentence. | ||
| Tutau, another former Minneapolis police officer, remains in prison. | ||
| Alex King and Thomas Lane, both rookie police officers. | ||
| They are out of prison at this point, but lifelong felons due to what took place that day in May of 2020. | ||
| But specifically, we're focusing on Katie Blackwell. | ||
| She was one of several Minneapolis police officers to take the stand in Derek Chauvin's trial. | ||
| And specifically, she says during Chauvin's state trial that she does not recognize the technique that Derek Chauvin is using. | ||
| We used about 30 seconds of her testimony in that document. | ||
| We were sued by Katie Blackwell just this past October, so nearly a year later, for the documentary and also for my book called They're Lying, The Media, the Left, and the Death of George Floyd. | ||
| That's the first piece of work we put out surrounding all of this, just trying to get the truth out in any way we possibly could. | ||
| And she specifically takes issue with how she's depicted on the stand. | ||
| She says that she was defamed through the fall of Minneapolis in the book. | ||
| Just this week on Tuesday, Judge Edward Wall with Hennepin County ruled in our favor to have that lawsuit dismissed. | ||
| And what's quite interesting with this as part of our order for dismissal, we gathered dozens and dozens of police officers that called her testimony into question. | ||
| They signed sworn court declarations to say...from the very beginning, | ||
| but in many ways... | ||
| This is really going to mean quite a few things. | ||
| I think not only for Chauvin, but for the other three officers as well. | ||
| The ruling saying things like, each statement that Judge Blackwell complains about... | ||
| Blackwell that complains about is substantially true using that language throughout this ruling. | ||
| And under the facts, it is possible to interpret Blackwell's testimony as incomplete or misleading by omission. | ||
| There's specifically about 10 different references to her testimony not being truthful in this order. | ||
| So we do believe that perhaps more things will fall and perhaps likely soon here with all of this, Jack. | ||
| So I want to just get this clear for the audience that, for the members of the posse that haven't been following this, and this case, you know, took place all the way back, it was April of 2021, so I believe almost exactly, I think about it, I have to look at the date, we're almost coming up on the exact four years to the day since this case was decided. | ||
| And so, yeah, April 20th, 2021. | ||
| And so... | ||
| This officer, who is actually the training commander, so the person who was in charge of all the training for the Minneapolis police force, is going up there saying that she doesn't recognize the neck restraint that Derek Chauvin employs on George Floyd in this situation. | ||
| And now you have all these people coming forward, current and former officers, saying that this is exactly what they were trained to do and exactly what she personally trained them to do. | ||
| And yet she goes up on the stand in this high profile. | ||
| I mean, I shudder to think of a case since, you know, OJ that's more high profile than Derek Chauvin and George Floyd. | ||
| And essentially says that the opposite of what the truth is, you know, essentially just lies. | ||
| This is a massive bombshell. | ||
| So she sues you and says, this is defamation. | ||
| None of this is true. | ||
| Judge comes in and says, no, this isn't defamation. | ||
| And in fact, it looks like there is a legitimate basis. | ||
| And by the way, this isn't just a First Amendment thing. | ||
| The judge actually comes in. | ||
| Walk me through that, because I believe the phrasing was found. | ||
| You have basically this legitimate basis, significant amount of truth from your statement in the documentary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, and this is really what's remarkable, Jack. | |
| So you have the media, no surprise, Minnesota's largest newspaper that the Star Tribune owned and operated, actually I should say operated, by a former commissioner of Governor Tim Walz. | ||
| But they are spinning this that, you know, this had nothing to do with the truthfulness of her testimony, sort of nothing to see here. | ||
| And this is what the Minneapolis Police Department, they say that this did not question the truthfulness of her testimony. | ||
| In fact, that is not true at all. | ||
| In 10 different areas. | ||
| by Judge Wallet, in fact, does exactly that. | ||
| Again, using that phrase, substantial truth, the core implication of Collins' statement, it's... | ||
| True. Whether it's the book or the documentary. | ||
| So let's not only forget that all of these officers, they come forward, 34 officers in all of these signed court declarations, 14 of them saying that she perjured herself. | ||
| Honestly, we could have had many more officers, but at some point we didn't want to waste the court's time with too many things we were submitting in this order for dismissal. | ||
| But there are also pictures of Katie Blackwell herself actually using this restraint herself during some riots that took place after a hockey game years ago that appear in a Minneapolis Police Department yearbook. | ||
| We have dozens upon dozens of pictures that were submitted to us and also used in the cases of these officers that, | ||
| But I also want to let people know... | ||
| That the MRT, the maximal restraint technique, which you can hear the officers talking about in the body camera footage. | ||
| Again, the body camera footage is kept away from the public for at least two and a half months. | ||
| There's a reason for that, that we're only allowed to see that viral cell phone video from May of 2020. | ||
| But all of that is kept from the public. | ||
| Again, it's easy to see why. | ||
| An MRT is not allowed. | ||
| Judge Peter Cahill, in Derek Chauvin's case, does not allow the maximal restraint technique into his state trial because they say that they can't find proof that the last time MRT was taught, that he signed his name in for that training. | ||
| So therefore, he did not allow MRT in trial. | ||
| Again, as crazy as that sounds, but these are a lot of different tactic and Tactics and techniques that I think need to be questioned. | ||
| Also want to remind your audience, it's Attorney General Keith Ellison, who's leading the prosecution of Derek Chauvin and these officers. | ||
| And in fact, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office quickly came out and said that they did not feel comfortable charging these three other officers specifically after this happened. | ||
| And this is when you have Governor Tim Walz And he takes the case away from Hennepin County and gives it to Attorney General Ellison. | ||
| But you're right, we're approaching nearly five years now since this has all happened in May of 2020. | ||
| And it is remarkable how people still, to this day, that the media in Minnesota continue to cling to this narrative, to these lies. | ||
| In fact, yesterday, the Star Tribune called the type of reporting I do abhorrent. | ||
| I quickly fired back saying, you know, sorry, I do believe in facts and actually talking to the people involved. | ||
| So that's what you consider abhorrent reporting in Minnesota, if you can believe it, Jack. | ||
| Imagine if we had a Liz Collin in every major city in America. | ||
| What you're doing is actual arguments. | ||
| On the ground, hard-nosed reporting, getting the facts, talking to real people, talking to officials, talking to whistleblowers, people who want to come forward. | ||
| And folks, Alpha News, I mean, you've done so much reporting on these charity scandals and other Tim Walls and other things that have gone on in the city and in your state. | ||
| And then, of course, you have this establishment media that's just so against you because the problem is, Liz, is that you are abhorrent to their control. | ||
| of the narrative and their control of the truth writ large. | ||
| This is why, by the way, you know, people kept asking when Tim Walz was nominated as vice president over little Josh Shapiro, my governor in Pennsylvania, they said, how come all of this stuff is coming out about Tim Walz? | ||
| Why hasn't the local media in Minnesota ever covered any of this stuff? | ||
| Why didn't the local media tell us these basic facts that, hey, there was a case that was just found that said the judge just ruled that, in fact, there is So Liz, | ||
| five years ago. | ||
| This would be massive news if we had lived in a society where the truth actually was put on the front page. | ||
| But as we learned during COVID and as we learned during so many other things, that doesn't quite seem to be the case. | ||
| Is it money? | ||
| Is it power? | ||
| What do you think is really driving this Determination to completely control the narrative, just from your perspective. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, I think especially here in Minnesota, money and power certainly plays a big role, but there is a lot of fear that permeates the air in this state. | |
| I feel like I'm from here, so I'm speaking as a native Minnesotan, but that Minnesota nice thing, that's a real thing. | ||
| Nobody wants to upset the apple cart. | ||
| Nobody wants to be the bad guy. | ||
| Jack, I am fine being the bad guy. | ||
| That's a role that I accept. | ||
| But that is the problem, especially even this case, for example. | ||
| It changed so many lives. | ||
| Really, I think, none for the better. | ||
| I have yet to find anybody that thinks that this was the rise of Minneapolis after these lies were told. | ||
| So I think that that is also part of it. | ||
| We are portrayed as a very blue state. | ||
| I will tell you that is not the case. | ||
| You know, definitely more purple than anything else, but also just a couple specks of blue, basically like many other states, right? | ||
| And surrounded by a sea of red. | ||
| No, it's actually so... | ||
| It's so ridiculous. | ||
| Folks, go give her a follow. | ||

Yeah, you betcha. | |
| So the FBI documents from the Crossfire Hurricane Russia collusion paper were first declassified in January 2021, but the FBI scooped them up, kept them from the American people for another four years. | ||
| Donald Trump declassified them a second time a couple of weeks ago. | ||
| Kash Patel transmitted them to... | ||
| The Congress, for the first time, all the declassified documents from the FBI files on Crossfire Hurricane, we got a set. | ||
| We posted them up at justthenews.com. | ||
| There's some really big things in here. | ||
| We learned new things about the informants who were wearing wires on the Trump campaign and some of the problems they had, the amounts of money they were paid to snitch. | ||
| But perhaps the most important one is the one we put out just a little bit ago, about two hours ago. | ||
| It is a FBI interview with the former director of the National Security Agency, the main electronic spy agency in America, Mike Rogers. | ||
| He was appointed by Barack Obama. | ||
| He carried into Donald Trump's tenure. | ||
| And in an FBI interview in June of 17, he told the FBI emphatically that the Washington Post story that claimed that President Trump had pressured him to claim there was no evidence of Russia hacking. | ||
| ...in the 2016 election wasn't true. | ||
| That's what the Washington Post emphatically declared. | ||
| By the way, that story, a claim that Donald Trump pressured the NSA to make a claim that wasn't true, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018. | ||
| It was part of a package of stories that won the Pulitzer, the top prize in journalism in 2018. | ||
| Mike Rogers says that story was categorically false. | ||
| In fact, it's not only false by his recollection. | ||
| When he talked to the FBI, there was a written record of what President Trump and Mike Rogers talked about. | ||
| It was nothing like what the Washington Post reported in that story, then submitted it for an award, and then captured journalism's highest award. | ||
| So for the first time, we can prove that an individual story in the Pulitzer packages of the New York Times and Washington Post... | ||
| ...is demonstrably false. | ||
| The very person who was on the phone says the Washington Post wrote falsely what happened in that. | ||
| He also says there is a memo validating what did happen on the phone, far more innocuous, far less sinister than the Washington Post did. | ||
| Now, it's not just a historical footnote, too, because right now, President Trump has sued the Pulitzer Committee for refusing to withdraw those Pulitzer Prizes. | ||
| He's gotten discovery from the Florida court. | ||
| And this will be a really significant new fact in his case. | ||
| All the documents are up at justthenews.com. | ||
| You can read Mike Rogers' CO2. | ||
| You can read all of the informant reports for Christopher Steele and Stefan Halpern. | ||
| All the documents we've been waiting for for five years, finally, in the public domain. | ||
| Well, John, I want to commend you on your work here, and everyone needs to go to Just the News and check this out immediately. | ||
| By the way, I was meeting with the senior administration official last night, and I was actually told that there are a number of these FBI memos that are now being discovered across the government on various issues, | ||
| things like this, but other things as well. | ||
| I can't get into all of them right now, but there were times apparently throughout the Biden regime and throughout other instances like this, as would have been Trump's first term, where memos were memorialized by the FBI and in other departments and bureaucracies | ||
| where people would go to the IG and that nothing would actually get moved on, and yet these are memorialized and can be used. | ||
|

Exonerating the people who were accused of wrong during the Trump years. | |
| What's most remarkable about this document, this Mike Rogers document, is that it would have clearly been responsive to the House Judiciary, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Intelligence Committee, going all the way back to 2018. | ||
| And the first time we learn about it is in 2025. | ||
| The game of keep away that James Comey and the FBI played from. | ||
| Congressional oversight from the American public, from the Trump administration, really catastrophic because it put us through unnecessary pain, unnecessary torment and political crisis when there was no basis for any of these allegations. | ||
| And I think you take a look at this one, you're not only reminded that it was a deep state, not only the FBI and James Comey and Andy McCabe and Peter Strzok. | ||
| But it's also the media and their friends in the media. | ||
| The New York Times and the Washington Post were no friend to the truth when it came to the Russia collusion story, the Hunter Biden story, the Ukraine impeachment story. | ||
| We're now beginning to get a strong sense of just how much the effort was to mislead the American people. | ||
| Really extensive stuff. | ||
| I just want to mention one other thing. | ||
| In the documents we made public last night, we remember Mike Flynn was opened up on as a criminal investigation. | ||
| In August of 2016, it was one of the big angles of Russia collusion. | ||
| We now can emphatically show, without doubt, that the FBI knew that the story that it opened up on Mike Flynn about, an allegation that he left a foreign event alone as a three-star general and the head of the DIA with a Russian woman, | ||
| i.e. | ||
| a honey bot, that was the allegation, was emphatically not true, and the FBI knew it was not true long. | ||
| No, of course not. | ||
| I remember when that happened. | ||
| John, we are just about out of time. | ||
| Thank you again, folks. | ||
| Go and check out Just the News, justthenews.com. | ||
| Let's get Mike Lindell. | ||
| We're going back to Minnesota. | ||
