donald j trump
And supplies and everything else.
We hope the money gets there, because you know that money gets taken, the food gets taken.
We're going to do more.
But we we gave a lot of money.
We gave a majority of the money.
And the sad part is that no other country other than us gives anything.
unidentified
Will you make the money about running for that North Carolina half?
Will he run?
donald j trump
I think he will.
unidentified
Teacher shortages.
donald j trump
So what can we do to get him?
I used to North Carolina.
unidentified
My father lives there.
donald j trump
He'll be a good candidate.
unidentified
Bring more teachers, more educators into the classrooms to alleviate the teacher shortage across the country.
donald j trump
We're doing that, and we're doing it strongly.
What we're doing is moving education back to the states.
The states will run education.
When they do it, you're going to have the best education in the world.
We'll have 35 or 40 states where it will be as good as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, you know, the top five or six countries.
unidentified
I'm going to drop the top parent, the top parent, the top teacher, the kids definitely.
donald j trump
We're going to get them.
We already have them.
When we go back to the states with education, you're going to see a big difference.
unidentified
that on the table.
Each of you are going on.
donald j trump
Todd Blanche is a great gentleman.
He's a great man.
He's a great lawyer.
He's got a great heart.
But he's over there now.
I don't know exactly what's happening.
But I certainly can't talk about Carton.
unidentified
Can you trust what you're telling him?
He's a convicted trafficker who's eager to get out of prison.
donald j trump
Well, you know, he's a professional lawyer.
I think he's been through things like this before.
But, you know, you should focus on Clinton.
unidentified
You should focus on the president of Harvard.
donald j trump
The former president of Harvard.
You should focus on some of the hedge fund guys.
I'll give you a list.
These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein.
I sure as hell did.
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
steve bannon
We're watching the Friday United States getting ready to leave on Marine 1 from the south lawn of the White House and head to Air Force One to head to Scotland.
Let's go ahead and we're going to pick up live.
We're taking the feed.
See if we can get any more audio.
Let's do it.
unidentified
Let's do it.
donald j trump
$5 billion and $6 billion, $7.2 billion.
We want to spread the wealth to other schools.
unidentified
President Obama and the people around me are staring about the disclosure.
Okay, the president about to enter Marine One.
steve bannon
Just keep it on the shot, gentlemen.
Just leave it there.
What a way to start the morning.
A great shot of President Trump oppressive.
And the voice of Steve Bennett.
How's that?
As the voiceover, the narrator.
The president entering Marine One is going to take off in a moment.
This footage was just released by the White House.
President Trump, once again, there's the Carolinas on the staff going through the back of Marine One.
It's very, very small inside only consider a handful of people comfortably.
That's kind of unusual taking the legislature.
Normally that goes up already on Air Force One, but hey, it is what it is on a Friday morning in July.
The president oppressive, and this is what makes him different than any other politician and particularly any other leader of the country, is that he took every question.
40 minutes.
Questions on Epstein, questions on tariffs, questions on deal with Japan, Gaza, geopolitics, the North Carolina race.
I mean, he doesn't need to be briefed up by the staff.
He just sits there and took them all.
One come on all.
Just stepped out from the door in the south, underneath the south portico, to head to Marine One that's on the south lawn, getting ready to get engines revved and head to Andrews Air Force Base.
I never call it joint base, Andrew.
That's Andrews.
That's another modern deal coming from the Pentagon, the book Pentagon.
It's Andrews Air Force Base.
Always the president will head there on Air Force One.
He's going to Scotland.
Now, the trip to Scotland, I believe he starts At Turnbury, the course he bought basically out of bankruptcy over a decade ago, saved it essentially.
And then he's going to go up later over the weekend.
I think he's going to play Turnbury tomorrow.
And then he's going to go up to his, he's opening a new course.
He's got one course up near Aberdeen, right off the North Sea.
Magnificent course.
And he's opening a new course.
This is a working, a guy, he never takes vacation, but this would be as close to a working vacation as you could get President Trump on.
So I think it's a four-day trip.
I believe the Prime Minister Starmer, I think Starmer's coming up to see him, but it's not a state visit.
This is a working visit by the President of the United States to see some of his properties and then meet certain people and have discussions.
There are going to be some of the folks I know, there are going to be some amazing interviews with President Trump that all come out on Monday or Tuesday by some of the folks that we're close to that are prepping, actually have headed over there already.
There we go right there with Marine One.
We're cutting right now Real America's Voice obviously trying to show as much of this live as possible, showing history in the making every day.
And I've got to tell you, I don't know what I like better.
I love them both, but it's the press avails in the oval, normally with the head of state there, where he's taken all and everything, or when he comes out just by himself when he comes out to the South Launt, because there's a difference.
Let's give you some insight baseball.
When he does the press avails, if you've noticed, let's take the Philippines as an example, when he was throwing down so hard on Obama, he'll call on international reporters.
The way those bylats are done is that you try to bring in as many of the correspondents that are covering it from the major press of that country, or like the Asia Times and the Philippines, or the Financial Times of London's Asian correspondent.
President Trump, if you notice, at least a third of those questions go to the foreign correspondents as they should.
I always like people to stay on the topic of the bylad unless the president wants to pivot to something else.
There he goes right there, Marine one lifting off.
When he comes out in the South Lawn, that's the White House Press Corps.
There you're getting whoever's got duty that day, whoever's got the duty that day.
Now, this is the difference between going out in the South Lawn and let's go to the briefing room.
And the reason I like Tulsi Gabbard going to the briefing room every couple of days, there we go right there.
Washington Monument, beautiful shot.
Real America's voice on top of it.
You don't get this anywhere else.
Everybody else will cut away.
You're seeing history.
And we're contextualizing.
How about that?
You're getting history contextualized.
Really a magnificent sight.
Since the airspace over D.C. is very restricted and even more restricted now because of the incidents at Reagan, even coming up and down the Potomac.
But that airspace is absolutely restricted.
So it's pretty amazing.
There we go right there.
Let's go ahead and no, I guess we got it right now.
So we were going to play our cold open to introduce you to a Friday morning, but I think people got it.
If you're ever, Marine One, it's a very honor and a privilege.
Of course, normally just the senior staff go on it with the family and the president.
President always has the same seat all the time and has all the things he needs to work on as he goes out there.
But you get a view of Washington.
You can't get anywhere else.
It's just extraordinary.
As you go over, you've got the central compound of the government and all the treasury from the air, et cetera.
So it's extraordinary.
Hopefully we'll have some footage when he gets to Andrews Air Force Base.
So it's a Saturday in July.
We got it.
Hang on.
So it's a Saturday.
Do we have the Colophon or do we have his plane?
Oh, let's do that on Air Force One.
Because this was delayed.
Folks, this is delayed for security reasons.
I'm sure.
They always delay this.
We got him walking on Air Force One.
Let's see right there.
Put my glasses on.
Let's keep that.
There we go, right there.
You can go and do the whole shot.
No need to look at my lovely visage right now.
We'll get to this.
There we go.
President walking to Air Force One, heading to Scotland.
His mother was from Scotland.
I think the father, the other side of the family, I think is German, but his mother's from Scotland, has very close affinity to Scotland.
And President Trump is a, as you know, a dedicated golfer, low handicap, club champion, I think, 30 times.
And where he's going today is interesting to Turnberry.
And this tells you about people.
The New York Times had big articles.
Number one, there was one of the most famous, if you play golf and if you focus on major champion golf, the big four, the four majors, the open championship, or what some people call the British Open, but the Open Championship, the oldest, run by the Royal and Ancient, has a rota that plays the greatest courses in Scotland and England and now Northern Ireland with Port Rush.
They have a rota, I think they have four or five courses in Scotland.
President Trump bailed out one of the most famous courses, Turnberry, which had, I think Colin Montgomery's father was the pro there, the head of golf operations that went bankrupt, President Trump, who is a distressed buyer.
No one's ever, I think, accused President Trump of overpaying for a property.
He normally sees opportunities like in Durao, in Mar-Lago, in Turnbury.
He sees opportunities, distressed acquisitions of real estate or companies is a fine art because you can get it really wrong.
But if you get it right, you can get multiples, particularly if you leverage it properly.
And that's what President Trump's essential, besides the running of hotels and properties.
And of course, his media, he was an expert in looking at distressed opportunities, buying smart, using smart leverage, and then growing it.
Turnbury, what they did, and they say it's because of, because Turnbury is on the west coast of Scotland.
It's a little out of the way, let's say, magnificent course.
It's where Jack Nicholas and Tom Watson, many decades ago in the 70s, had the duel, what's called in golf, the duel in the sun.
So it's an incredibly famous.
It's got the little lighthouse there.
It's an incredibly famous course.
It is not in the British, the Open Championship Rota.
And people are saying that's because with all the money President Trump's put in it, they took it out to spite Trump because Royal and Ancient and the awfully, awfullies, the elites of England and Scotland.
And the Scottish, by the way, for all the brave hearts and all the great Scots, for you Scots out there that, you know, the born fighting, the Scotch Irish here down the Appalachia that has done so much to build this country and been the backbone of this country.
It's very weird when you go to Scotland.
It is the elites in Scotland are maybe the most woke and most radical in the West.
And I say, maybe only Ireland is worse.
And they literally hate Trump.
Trump worked for decades to get a new course built, a beautiful course, Lynx course, all Lynx golf there up near Aberdeen.
And he's going to that property also.
Let's go.
I tell you, we have cuts.
We have some of the highlight reel from his talk.
Is already not yet?
Okay.
Do we have the cold open?
Do we have the cold open?
Okay, we can do anything.
Okay.
We're going to direct, produce, and star this morning.
Like I said, President Trump, and this was a little delayed, he had a 40-minute, approximately 40-minute press avail before getting on Marine One to head to Andrews Air Force Base to get on Air Force One to head to Scotland.
I believe he will arrive, if my math is correct, around 2.30 or 3 o'clock this afternoon, 3.30.
Of course, I believe BBC or ITV will have a feed, and we will try to pick all that up in the afternoon shows of Real America's Voice.
Not sure he'll do a press available.
You don't know.
President Trump works nonstop.
You know, he tucks in between that, family, obviously work.
You know, it's all work.
He tucks in some golf, some family, some friends.
This is one that's been really, I think, four days of going to Scotland, not a state visit.
Starmer, on his own accord, is going to go up and see President Trump.
I think it's proposed for Sunday, although Starmer may have something to do with some sort of contest that the British, the UK are involved in.
They may play in the championship, so it may be delayed, maybe that Monday.
But it's going to be, he's going to meet him, and I'm sure there'll be other press.
Let's go ahead.
We got the cold open.
Let's go and play the cold open, and then I'll come in and make some observations.
So PAC Day, so here's what you got.
You got more activity over at DNI.
We understand they're whistleblowers.
They're perfecting what they've got.
So far, they've announced a strike force at DOJ and FBI, although have not named anybody.
And Mark Levin, dropping the Tel Aviv Levin, but Mark Levin made a very, I think, astute observation yesterday in saying that, hey, if you announce a special prosecutor, by the time that guy gets up to speed, it could take you a while.
There should be enough evidence.
Farm it out to an existing U.S. attorney or have DOJ do it.
I think there's some logic there.
The only problem is I think Maine Justice right now is so overwhelmed with the lawsuits that are coming.
And remember, they're on a roll.
They won yesterday at the Peace Institute.
Pam Bonnie and those guys are on a roll defending President Trump on his second, on his Article II powers.
But that seems to have taken up most of the brainpower in the building because these are high stakes, you know, these are high stakes efforts.
And I'll talk later.
PBS has come out now with an hour and 20-minute frontline that is titled Trump's Power and the Rule of Law.
And obviously it's PBS, so you're getting a left-wing slamp.
But that being said, it's pretty extraordinary how they get to the issues.
And it's really an arc of this audience and this show going back in time to the first term and really, most importantly, to when President Trump left Andrews Air Force Base and went back to Mar-a-Lago in 2021.
Let's go ahead and play the cold open.
We've got a lot going on.
You've got economics.
We're going to have capital markets.
You've got Todd Blanche Day Two with Ghelaine Maxwell.
You heard the president right there addressing questions about that.
We're going to get that cut.
They're talking to him about deals, all of it.
We've got Malpass.
We've got Philip Patrick, a lot going on.
Also, down in the third island chain, there's been a mysterious death.
I think it may be very mysterious.
We're looking for somebody to maybe investigate that.
Cleo Pascal is going to join us.
Also, Ben Harnwell, big developments in Ukraine.
So we got a lot going on this morning on the treasonous conspiracy.
Also, the Epstein situation.
Let's go ahead and play the cold open.
I will be back in a moment.
david markus
We had a very productive day today with the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and Glenn Maxwell.
First, we want to thank the Deputy Attorney General for being so professional with all of us and for meeting with us.
We took a full day and asked a lot of questions, and Ms. Maxwell answered every single question.
She never stopped.
She never invoked a privilege.
She never declined to answer.
She answered all the questions truthfully, honestly, and to the best of her ability.
And that's all the comment we're going to have today about the meeting.
We don't want to comment about the substance of the meeting for obvious reasons.
And we'll go from there.
So thank you all so much.
kara scannell
Good morning, Katie.
Lynch is returning to the courthouse for a second meeting with Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend and accomplishments, Koly Maxwell.
We know very little about the content of what was discussed yesterday, but they were behind those doors for at least six hours.
We saw them arrive just around 9 a.m. and leave around 4 p.m.
And her lawyer said that they was asked a lot of questions, that she answered all of them truthfully.
And apparently they're going back at this again today.
Now, it's really unclear the scope of what these questions entailed and why it requires a second meeting.
What Tomlin said was his reason for meeting with Maxwell was because he wanted to know if she knew anything about other crimes committed by anybody else involving these victims.
You know, Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking for helping recruit and groom women for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually assault, and in some instances, sexually assaulting them herself.
She is serving a 20-year prison sentence, and the big question looming over this is what would she offer to participate in this meeting?
She has long maintained her innocence, and her credibility is also at issue here.
When she was initially indicted on the sex trafficking charges, she was also charged by the Justice Department with perjury for statements she made under oath in a civil lawsuit brought by an accuser in which she said she knew nothing about Epstein's being to abuse underage girls and that she knew nothing about any other activities.
So why would her testimony now be credited?
And what is it that they're asking her that requires her to come back for a second day after already spending about six hours with her when she has always maintained her innocence?
So a lot of questions that we're still waiting for answers for and maybe we will get more of that after the meeting today if her lawyer does address the press again or if Todd Blanche does provide more information.
But still big questions.
What were the ground rules here?
What has she answered?
And do they believe her now compared to what they had said were blatant lies, perjury before?
steve bannon
So that's the assessment you have to say.
Todd Blanche down there for a second day today.
The House, and this was interesting, last night on All In with Chris Hayes, he did not know that they had scheduled a deposition by House members on the 11th.
I don't think that's going to happen, but it's penciled in as an either interview or deposition in Tallahassee by members of the House.
I'm not so sure that's going to happen, particularly with what's happening today.
It's interesting last night, and we don't have these booted in yet, but maybe we'll get them later in the show, is that Donny Deutsch and Gregory Meeks were on the new show, The Weeknight, right?
It's the old weekend crowd.
And they made a point that I think you're going to start seeing come from the Democrat side.
Both of them said, hey, we have spent 10 years attacking Trump and going after Trump and getting foaming at the mouth of Trump.
And all we do is continue to lose to Trump and the Trump movement, the MAGA movement.
They both said you have to focus on affordability, that you've got to start to address, ensure the Democrats have a plan.
I'm just giving you what they said.
They have a plan to address the American people's interests.
Now, one, Donny Deutsch, I'm sure, understands that there's a ton of Democratic names.
So at the Wall Street Journal and all the hit pieces they've done on President Trump, and remember, their hit pieces are perfectly timed for a big reveal by Tulsi.
They actually put out something last night on the birthday letters.
Remember this birthday letter thing that kind of came and went last week, the leatherbound book or whatever it was?
They finally put out that, hey, he had letters by Bill Clinton and Leon Black and a bunch of big Wall Street guys, et cetera, that were in there.
You know, they knew that they knew that last week when they released on Trump.
This is the Murdoch absolutely targeting, using the Wall Street Journal as the tip of the spear to hammer President Trump because they knew this.
Now, a week later to the day, Thursday, they release, oh, yeah, we have additional things.
So the Bill Clinton story kind of gets in the backwash.
It's interesting when President Trump went to the plane.
I don't believe, I haven't had a chance to go through all of it because I was listening, but I don't remember a question.
And maybe he got asked one.
I don't remember a question on Tulsi's revelations at all.
The mainstream media do not want to cover this.
The only reason they're forced to cover it now is two functions.
Number one, if Tulsi goes to the briefing room and uses that as a forcing function, they're forced to cover it.
Number two, and this is why NBC News, if we can pull that off my Getter account, NBC News has an amazing story about the internal thinking of Obama, whether the Obama people, they're kind of caught.
Do they, because President Trump's accusations are for treason, right?
And treason is conspiracy.
And the places he's doing it, like in the Oval Office or at the White House, are so in your face that they feel some of these have to be, they just can't let it go, that some of them have to be addressed versus, but they understand because they saw, you know, what we did with it, as soon as they do that, that the MAGA media and the people that support President Trump are going to use that and throw it on this, on the fire of Tulsi Gabbard like Napalm.
And that's a dilemma for them.
But they're obsessed with, it's interesting, the media, I think, is more obsessed now than most of the Democratic Party.
I think the Democratic Party is looking at analysis and looking at polling and realize the bulk of the people on the Democratic side.
And I think what they feel is some independent voters, this is not their deal.
They haven't really followed it.
And the reason is there's so many Democrats, huge Democratic donors caught up in this Epstein thing.
You know, it had been Epstein's buddies.
They were the ones that were in the book that started this, when the influencers, when DC Draino and Cernovich and Posso and all the rest of the, were called to the White House and given the book that had the names in it that came off of already disclosed, I think, his black book or the book he kept to keep contacts in his contact book that had already been out.
There are many, many Democratic names.
I think Meeks And Donny Deutsch are sitting there looking at the polling and saying, Hey, what's winning in New York City right in this mayor's race is not anything about Epstein.
What's winning in New York City is talking about affordability.
Now, the Democrats don't have a plan for affordability.
All they want to do is spend more money.
And we're in a situation now that we can't spend more money.
That it's going to be quite detrimental to everything.
Oh, by the way, The Hill, and I've got that up on Getter also.
So if you want to look at the prep of the prep for the show, you can always go and get her early in the morning.
Russ vote, they finally got around, the Hill finally got around to a story that, as you know, in the war room, we've talked about for over a month now, maybe two months, and that is pocket rescuions, that there have to be additional cuts.
You want to talk about affordability, start cutting the deficit.
So you don't have massive deficits.
You have to finance at higher interest rates.
And that leads to the inflation that's kind of embedded.
You want to take it all down, start cutting and massive cuts.
And the only way you're going to do that, the rescissions program has been so laborious on Capitol Hill that you just do by pocket rescissions, which is a whole new theory of the case, too.
So that's also going to be tested in the courts.
But the Hill finally today had that.
Do we have cut yet on the okay?
Let's go ahead and play, and maybe I blow this.
Let's go ahead and play.
I want to play President Trump on the Epstein thing at first.
First question is asked.
Let's go and play it.
donald j trump
Well, I don't know about the meeting.
I know it's taking place.
And he's a fantastic man.
He's a great attorney.
And people should really focus on how well the country's doing.
They should focus on the fact that they should focus on the fact that you know very well.
And lots of other friends, really close friends of Jeffrey Summers, should be spoken about.
Because, you know, Jeffrey Epstein should be spoken about.
They should think about them.
They talk about me.
I have nothing to do with the guys.
unidentified
Are you considering, let me say, go back to the U.K.?
Are you considering, do you do any business deals with the U.K.?
donald j trump
Yeah, I'm going to meet with the Prime Minister right now.
We're going to be over there in about six hours.
We're meeting with the Prime Minister tonight.
We're going to be talking about the trade deal that we made and maybe even improve it.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got a bunch of great cuts from this.
If you didn't see it on the morning show, we're going to get all into it.
We're packed a day and into the evening and tomorrow.
It's never a holiday weekend here or summertime.
In summertime, we actually rev it up even more intense.
You know why?
Because signal happens every day.
Of course, the noise is there too.
We're trying to bifurcate signal noise.
unidentified
President Trump, let me be blunt.
steve bannon
It was a masterclass this morning.
President Trump at his best, walking out of the South Lawn, taking all and everything.
Give me every shot you got.
You're going to get an answer.
Get their heads spinning in that blunt way that he can do it.
I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold.
Philip Pax is going to be up for David Malpass, former head of the World Bank and also former Under Secretary for International Finance under President Trump in term one.

Have you heard about Todd Lance's interview with Elaine Maxwell?
Are you still disappointed in President Trump?
donald j trump
Well, I don't want to talk about that.
What I do want to say is that Todd is a great attorney, but you ought to be speaking about Larry Summers.
You ought to be speaking about some of his friends that are hedge fund guys.
They're all over the place.
You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times.
I never went to the island.
unidentified
Do you maintain you did not write a letter for Jeffrey Epstein's first statement?
donald j trump
I don't even know what they're talking about.
Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, but that's happened a lot.
All you have to do is take a look at the dossier, the fake dossier.
Everything's fake with that administration.
Everything's fake with the Democrats.
Take a look at what they just found about the dossier.
Everything is fake.
There are a bunch of sick people.
Where did you see the people laying outside?
unidentified
We'll take care.
Would you consider a Something I haven't thought about.
donald j trump
Something I have not thought about.
steve bannon
You see how the president had to, in the previous cut, had to mention the had to bring up the Tulsi, the most important thing happening.
You've never had in the history of this country a prior president called out for treason, high treason, and a coup d'état.
And if you don't think they're worried, you don't, we're trying to do the cuts for you.
You don't watch MSMAC and CNN like we do, and we do that for you.
We curate it.
But Clapper's worried, Brennan's worried, the plotters are worried.
Now, we have to be able to do this on multiple tracks.
We know that tons of informants are coming forward, whistleblowers are coming forward with other things that went on, or the receipts on things that went on, more receipts.
And that's being the DNI guys right now are going through that process.
What we need is DOJ and FBI to step up and to go turbocharge on this.
And, you know, my only observation or advice would be, particularly with the FBI, you know, we don't need to see any more shots of running with the FBI agents and we're recruiting the best guys in the world.
We don't care.
Okay.
We could care less.
What we care about is this task, a strike force to get on top of this and whatever assistance you're giving Todd Blanch right now on this Epstein situation.
It's pretty obvious that Todd Blanch, who's considered the safe pair of hands over at DOJ on matters of this gravity, is, and he's stuck around.
You know, for the Deputy Attorney General to not just do it day one, it's pretty extraordinary, but to stay over and do it on day two shows you that there's something, you know, there's something going on.
You don't, the DAG, the entire building of the Department of Justice reports up to him.
He reports directly to the Attorney General of the United States.
And this is a, you know, this is an incredibly important job.
And yes, oh, by the way, we had like the world's worst pick ever in Trump's first term.
President Trump was talked into by, you know, the DOJ picks are really talked into by the lawyers.
We're talked into picking a guy who eventually discussed wearing a wire into the Oval Office.
I kid you not.
That came out during the Moeller situation.
The defenses and the NBC.
Do we have the Getter story in NBC?
Okay, send it to me right now.
The NBC story is very important.
And if Grace and Mo can push that out to the entire chat, and I want the chat to be able to push that out also, is incredibly important because it shows you at the highest level, this is a very well-reported story from NBC News.
At the highest level, Obama's worried.
His people are worried.
They're worried in twofold.
Number one, if we continue to actually come out and give, and the defense they gave was totally feckless.
If they don't respond, Trump's going to continue to hammer them and hammer them and hammer them that he's guilty of treason and that he's the head.
And President Trump is very good about keeping the focus on him.
It's our responsibility to keep the focus on the broader conspiracy.
President Trump is doing his job like he doesn't have enough on his plate right now.
And you saw that in the 40-minute press conference.
Look at the range of questions they asked.
Everything from the race in North Carolina to education policy to the deals with Columbia University.
And what's amazing, And it's not just Sleepy Joe.
If you had asked Obama the same thing or Bush, he'd be able to answer one-third of the questions.
Trump can give you an answer in a level of depth.
Now, you may not like the answer, but he can give you an answer in a level of depth on each one, including they were talking about monetary theory, strong dollar versus weak dollar.
We've got Malpass and Philip Patrick going to join us for that.
Obviously, the media is very focused on the Maxwell situation, but we are focused on that.
And we hear from the Justice Department.
There's a ton of stuff going on.
They've already been kind of rebutted by the courts, at least initially.
The key thing here is to get unsealed all this evidence.
And then the Justice Department's got to make decisions.
And Todd Blanche, believe me, will be in the middle of those decisions because you can tell he's kind of taking this case over.
And he knows President Trump very well since he spent years with him.
And Embel Bovey, who will be appointed, will be confirmed, I think, on Tuesday or Wednesday in the third district appellate court justice, maybe teed up to take a Supreme Court slot if and when that appears in this second term.
I want to do something here.
I've got to cover this.
Two things we need to cover.
Number one, Cleo Pascal is with us.
Cleo, great job.
Audience loves it when you were out in the Pacific.
But something happened the other day that's very concerning to me.
These islands of which so much blood was spent, American blood, young American men taking and holding these island chains in World War II that led to our victory.
The reason was the great architects of our geopolitics and strategy understood manifest destiny, went through the Pacific to the island chains, that America is a Pacific nation.
The elites have had a very tough time with that, particularly the white elites of Boston and New York City and Washington, D.C., the Acela Corridor, have always been what we call Atlanticist.
Okay, that was even in the 19th century.
But you had some visionaries that realized this is the Transcontinental Railroad.
We're a continental power, but we're a continental power that doesn't stop at the end of the continent.
It goes out.
We are a Pacific nation, and that Central Pacific is actually the strategic buffer of the United States from a lot of bad things happening.
But you have to be able to be in business with, associated with, or control those three island chains that go to East Asia.
These individuals understood it.
Cleo's done an amazing job of bringing that up to the American people, that young men didn't die.
I believe you could say pound for pound, the bloodiest battle in hour by, if you take minute by minute the bloodiest battle in World War II, I believe it's Tarawa, right?
The young men that died at Tarawa and at these other atolls in what were, you know, they were having a Normandy, you know, every couple of months there.
Cleo, very disturbing, a governor that actually was quite supportive of anti-CCP and the United States and particularly the scandals out there and investigations has inexplicably died.
unidentified
Is this what I'm hearing, ma'am?
cleo paskal
Yes, thank you very much for covering this.
This is an American governor of American territory in the United States.
Guam, we know how important Guam is, but if you look just north of Guam, you have the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.
This is a chain of islands that is contiguous with Guam.
Guam is the Southern Mariana Islands.
This is where Saipan is, this is where Tinian is, where hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars are going in to build up DOD infrastructure.
And the governor of that place, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, CNMI, two days ago, died suddenly.
He was an American hero.
He has been fighting ever since he came into office to try to clean up the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands and to try to close down things.
You're not going to believe this, but Chinese can arrive without a visa in the United States of America in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.
There are people in Congress right now pushing, including the representative from the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, pushing to keep open access, visa-free access for Chinese into the United States through the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.
And through there, they have been found in the hundreds illegally going to Guam.
Some have been found on the U.S. military bases.
The woman that ran the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands was convicted of selling U.S. driver's licenses to Chinese.
The big thing was there's a casino, Chinese casino, operating in Saipan that in the first few months it opened in November 2015.
The bets were totaling $5.3 billion across fewer than 20 tables.
In the first half of 2017, table for table, they were running six times more money than the biggest casinos in Macau.
And on the board of that casino operation, you were going to be able to get away from the-hang on.
steve bannon
But just put it in perspective.
The Macau Casinos dwarf Las Vegas.
This dwarf stuff in the United States.
Macau and this casino are like the MAC daddies, are they not, ma'am?
cleo paskal
Yes, and this is the United States.
This is running billions of Chinese dollars or money directly into the U.S. financial system through this casino.
Directly, this is the United States.
And just to give you a sense of scale, it's an eight-hour flight west of Hawaii to get to Saipan.
This is the U.S. border with Asia.
It's four hours from Saipan to Taiwan.
It is half, it is twice as far to get to Hawaii as it is to get to Taiwan from Saipan.
Governor Palacios was holding the line for all of us.
He repeatedly requested publicly for FBI investigations into what was going on with the casino, with the former governor, Ralph Torres, under whom about half a billion dollars of ARPA funding was not properly accounted for.
Just in April, he wrote a letter to the representative of CNMI in Congress asking her to ask Cash Patel to send in investigators for, and this is the quote, intensive investigations of public corruption.
This is the governor of a territory saying, come investigate me.
He said, I'm opening up all my books.
Come look at everything.
Clean us up.
We are a national security risk to the United States.
He put his life on the line, very literally, in order to protect the United States of America and to clean up the CNMI for his people, for the people of the Marianas.
steve bannon
We've got a minute very suspicious of why he died suddenly, and we're calling for the FBI to continue.
We need a task force to go investigate this casino because you've got CCP and you've got Americans.
This thing is filthy, and it's a gateway for CCP to funnel people through here with nobody checking.
Am I correct, Clear?
cleo paskal
So that casino is closed, but the assets are being reallocated.
And on the board of that casino was former CIA Director James Woolsey, former FBI Director Louis Free was one of the advisors.
This requires the FBI closed an investigation in July, just a few weeks ago.
There are people within FBI who don't want, apparently, this investigation to go forward.
This needs an FBI strike force, Treasury strike force, and Governor Palacios deserves at least the Vice President of the United States to attend his funeral.
This was an American who was fighting on the front line of the Third World War in a way that very few other Americans have.
steve bannon
Cleo, where do people go to get your social media to keep up with this ma'am?
cleo paskal
I'm on X, just my name, Cleo Pascal, C-L-E-O-P-A-S-K-A-L.
This, again, America, the United States of America has lost a warrior and next man up.
steve bannon
Next man up.
Yes or no?
There going to be an autopsy done on this?
cleo paskal
It's unclear, and there also needs to be a look at the whole transfer from Guam, from CNNI to Guam.
steve bannon
We'll check it all out.
Clear Pascal.
Thank you, ma'am.
unidentified
Who's your host, Stephen K. Mann?
steve bannon
Yeah, you want to, you know, everybody talks about the greatest generation.
If you want to honor the greatest generation, particularly their warriors that died in World War II, they gave their lives in World War II, in the Pacific, in these bloody campaigns of the Pacific, and they were brutal.
If you ever want to know how brutal they are, there's a book called With the Old Breed.
It was by, I think, a professor at the University of Alabama, maybe in Auburn, written later in his life.
And he did it as almost a first person of what he went through in the islands of the Pacific with the Marines.
And it was one of the books, A Helmet for My Pillow and With the Old Breed were the two books that they adapted for the Pacific, that multi-part series.
It was kind of the counter to, or not the counter, but the complement to the series HBO did on the 101st Airborne in Europe.
If you want to honor them, they gave their lives for those islands.
Those islands had a meaning and purpose.
And you may argue about the tactics.
Did we need to have?
And I think there's a lot of questions today.
Did you need to do the frontal attacks and the type of Normandy type amphibious assaults?
Were there other ways to do it?
There's all types of second guessing and you can do that.
But the reality is these young men took those atolls from an enemy that wasn't prepared to give an inch and were basically ordered to stand and die.
This is quite different than the Western Europe, which was brutal.
Don't get me wrong, very brutal.
But the stand and die were the kind of Russian army and the Red Army and the Wehrmacht around Ukraine and Kursk and Stalingrad and in the Pacific.
You know, don't give an inch and every man should die in the process.
That's what these young kids, 17, 18, 19 years old, with the minimous amount of training on combined arms, you know, amphibious assaults had to overcome.
And so all this thing, you know, have a great day, veteran, and thank you for your service.
Let's thank them for their ultimate sacrifice.
And let's thank the rest that were there that either came back with PTSD or some came back unharmed, but gave those years.
Let's honor them by taking seriously what those islands mean.
And the CCP takes it seriously.
This is one of the things about the elites in this country, why they're so worthless.
If they were just stealing from you with both hands and sucking everything up with both hands, but we're serious people, it would be awful, but maybe you say, okay, I can understand it.
You know, we don't have a fair deal.
We don't get really a piece of the action, but they do a pretty damn good job on everything else.
That's not the case.
It's the exact opposite.
They suck, okay?
They're stealing with both hands every time you look, and they're in bed with our enemy.
Never in American history, this is the thing about Henry Kissinger and this thing about the, you know, the Peloponnesian war, the Thucydides trap, the rising power and the declining power and all this that they can't answer.
You've never had a declining power where the elites made more money on the way down they made on the way up in business with the rising power.
And this is what's happened here in this country.
This is what we talk about in the show all the time.
Right now you're seeing in this chips situation.
NVIDIA.
Hmm.
I don't buy the argument.
I just don't buy the argument that we're in a space race and we're in, or this is like the moon race or the space race or the nuclear weapons race for AI.
If we cut them off of all chips, technologies, processes, and training their young engineers in 350,000 Mainland kids mainly from the princelings group, etc.
And they're not here doing Renaissance poetry, right?
They're not doing philosophy.
They're here in all the STEMS programs.
Just like in Japan, I had a meeting the other night.
They told me, hey, 50% of the PhDs and masters in Japan, 50% are foreign students.
Of that, 80 to 90% are Chinese.
Hello.
I think I see a pattern here.
I got some pattern recognition.
The Chinese Communist Party is the mortal enemy of the Chinese people.
They're the mortal enemy of the American people.
And they're mortal enemy of mankind.
And they are every bit as brutal a dictatorship, right, from their formation in 1911, 1913, all the way up to the 20s, the 30s.
And then when the State Department, the communists in the State Department that McCarthy called out, gave the nation to them, the United States of America State Department turned over to Mao Seitong and a group of rebels because they were sucked in about, oh, these guys are agrarian reformers when they're just murderous, bloodthirsty, every bit as bad as Hitler.
Every bit as bad.
And maybe even worse.
Maybe even worse as monsters.
Taj Gil joins us now.
Taj, I need a cup of coffee more than anything right now.
President Trump got us jacked up with a great press event.
We're going to have more cuts of that later.
