Quarter point cut just confirmed. | |
| So Justin, I'm going to get you on that to start. | ||
| Yeah, I've got that right in front of me. | ||
| So pretty much what everyone expected would happen happened. | ||
| Don't read too much into this. | ||
| This is not the Fed putting its foot on the gas. | ||
| It's really the Fed taking its foot off the brake. | ||
| It had put the brakes on to deal with the post-pandemic inflation. | ||
| Now it's all the way back to neutral. | ||
| What do you do when you're in a world where there's no more data? | ||
| It can be really hard to figure out the next steps, but you do know being neutral is a safe place to be. | ||
| There's two other things that have struck me straight away. | ||
| First of all, Stephen Moran, the new Fed member, former Trump CEA chair, beclowns himself for a second meeting in a row calling for a 50 basis point cut. | ||
| He's tried to explain his logic in the past, and frankly, it's illogical. | ||
| And you've actually got another Fed board member who's gone the other way and said there should have been no change whatsoever. | ||
| So you've got a split board there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So he wants a 50% cut. | |
| Is that what you said? | ||
| 50 basis points, half a percentage point. | ||
| Schmidt wants zero. | ||
| The rest of the committee was at a quarter. | ||
| And that really tells you that, yes, there is a debate, but there are two sides to this debate. | ||
|

|
President Trump, meantime, is launching a new attack on former special counsel Jack Smith. | |
| MSNDC's Kendallanian is following that story for us. | ||
| What's the latest, Ken? | ||
| Chris, in a truth social post, the president has denounced Jack Smith as a deranged thug and a criminal who should be investigated and put in prison. | ||
| This is not a surprise, but the reason it's significant is that there are investigations swirling around Jack Smith. | ||
| There's congressional investigations and there may well be a Justice Department investigation of his conduct as special counsel. | ||
| Trump in particular is referring to the investigation into his efforts to overturn the election. | ||
| The irony of that, Chris, is that we're out with an exclusive story today about a book by our colleague Carol Lenning, which reveals that in fact the Justice Department essentially moved much more slowly in that investigation than it had to and can fairly be criticized for slow walking that investigation for being overly deferential to Donald Trump as the past and possibly future president and made some decisions that really slowed that thing down. | ||
| It may never have gotten to trial because of the Supreme Court in any event, but it certainly didn't go as quickly as it could have. | ||
| And in fact, there's no evidence that Jack Smith did anything wrong or that Democrats weaponized the Justice Department to go after Donald Trump. | ||
| Politicians who've been investigated by the federal government have forever been denouncing their prosecutors. | ||
| I've seen this my whole career, Chris, but what we've never seen is the person who is then investigated federally and then becomes president and has the authority to actually bring the weight of the Justice Department against the prosecutor who investigated him, Chris. | ||
| So much that we have never seen before. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. | ||
| Well, extremely difficult, particularly since in the release, they also note, Katie, that inflation remains elevated and above the Fed's target. | ||
| And so we are a little bit off the highs, as you can see. | ||
| And so this split too that Justin just referred to shows that there are still warring camps within the Federal Reserve, some of whom are worried about inflation remaining elevated, some who are worried about, as you pointed out at the top of the show, a deteriorating labor market. | ||
| And yet at the very same time, with this AI boom and with wealthier people spending a lot of money, gross domestic product or economic growth is actually stronger than anticipated. | ||
| So this is the type of conundrum the Fed has not faced in the past, particularly when you've got stocks making new all-time highs. | ||
| It's a very rare environment in which the Federal Reserve actually cuts rates when you have this combination of economic factors all taking place at one time. | ||
| So my guess is they might, or Jay Powell in his commentary coming up, might indicate a pause given that we may not get any inflation or jobs data for another month, month and a half, maybe even two months. | ||
| As much of a gut punch as it was at the time, it is all the more chilling and haunting now. | ||
| The new official acts immunity lies about like a loaded weapon, she wrote, for any president that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival or his own financial gains ahead of the interests of the nation. | ||
| What do you think about this moment? | ||
| I think that that decision was written, and I remember we talked about it at the time, as this entirely academic thought experiment about executive power. | ||
| Imagine a normal president in a normal presidency and imagine sort of the maximalist read of what kind of power we would want him to have so that we didn't chill him. | ||
| We want him to make, you know, fast, good decisions. | ||
| And in some sense, it was presented that way. | ||
| And we all looked at each other and we said, but this isn't an ordinary president and this isn't an academic exercise. | ||
| This is a person who has time and time and time again led with the proposition that he could shoot someone and get away with it. | ||
| And so for the court to say, yeah, yeah, his lawyers went into court and said he could send someone from CLT and 6 in to assassinate a political rival, and that's plausible. | ||
| And now we are living with it. | ||
| And you're quite right about two things. | ||
| One is this immunity decision keeps popping up time and time and time again, right? | ||
| It's being invoked now as the basis for dismissing the criminal charges against Trump in New York. | ||
| It was invoked as some basis for why Trump wanted to go after the Justice Department and shake them down for investigating him. | ||
| I mean, we are going to see immunity, immunity, immunity, as Justice Sotomayor said, pulled out time and time again. | ||
| And let's recall a part of that decision really bubble-wrapped him in consultation with his attorney general, right? | ||
| That becomes also something that the courts can't look at or second guess. | ||
| And so when President Trump says to Pam Bondi, inadvertently tells the whole world, thinking he's communicating with her privately, that she needs to do a better job going after his political rivals, all of that is because he's emboldened because the court handed him that on a silver platter. | ||
| And I think the other piece of that that is so important, and this just goes to where Glenn started, is it's not just Justice Department lawyers who don't know what to do about this. | ||
| It's judges themselves around the country who have to grapple with the fact that Donald Trump was handed a loaded gun by the Supreme Court and he's waving it around all over the country in case after case. | ||
| And judges now have to figure out what do I do because my hands are tied by this broad maximalist decision that was presented as a fait accompli. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| 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 lie? | ||
| MAGA 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. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Wednesday, 29 October, Year of the Lord 2025. | ||
| Did she say, I think I give her a hug? | ||
| Did she say maximalist three separate times? | ||
| Come on, baby. | ||
| You're getting it now. | ||
| You see, if you repeat it, if you wash, rinse, repeat, wash, rinse, repeat, wash, rinse, repeat over and over and over again, even the not particularly, the dim bulbs of the progressive left, including contributors to MSMEC departs, will finally get it. | ||
| One of the things I think they're also becoming aware of is the Supreme Court under Roberts has made a pretty, has had a pretty profound sea change in that they have essentially signaled, because of their rulings and the way they've written the opinions about the rulings, that they are very different than the Warren Court. | ||
| They're not going to be activists. | ||
| They're not going to intercede in every aspect of American life. | ||
| They're just not. | ||
| They've bifurcated a lot of this by saying that's a political decision. | ||
| That's a political decision. | ||
| We're going to stay at it. | ||
| This is why President Trump's had such a run at the Supreme Court. | ||
| And I think even this lower-level federal judges, realizing they're either going to be overturned at appellate court and or overturned at the Supreme Court, understands that our interpretation during those years in the wilderness of The inherent powers and stated powers of the presidency under Article 2. | ||
| Remember, we call it the unitary theory of the executive, or as the war room posse corrects me all the time. | ||
| No, Steve, that's just the article. | ||
| It's just called Article 2. | ||
| You don't have a fancy title for it. | ||
| That he's the chief executive officer of the United States. | ||
| Therefore, he can hire who he wants and he can fire who he wants. | ||
| He's also that the appropriations bill, which is a law, is a ceiling, not a floor. | ||
| And so, therefore, he can impound money. | ||
| He can do pocket rescissions. | ||
| He could take it back to the Hill for Rescissions package and a vote. | ||
| He can do all that. | ||
| But as the chief executive officer of the United States government, it is his decision to make the vesting clause and the people overall have made their decision about him as chief executive. | ||
| Number two, he's the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. | ||
| And therefore, he has the inherent powers of the commander-in-chief, and particularly in times when he thinks the nation is threatened. | ||
| As you know, President Lincoln, who was dealing with an insurrection, I might add at the time Lincoln was dealing with it, up until the time of the shot at the shots at Fort Sumner, it was much less radical than it is now. | ||
| You didn't have whole major cities declaring sanctuary cities and that they were above anything to deal with federal power. | ||
| What he's dealing with is first off, he's dealing with an invasion of 10 to 15, 20 million people. | ||
| Think of the scale of that. | ||
| They continue to try to downplay it, and it was organized. | ||
| It was organized by them, and we now know what lawbreakers they are, how lawless they are, given the issue about the autopin. | ||
| And particularly, it's not the pardons. | ||
| The pardons are one element of it. | ||
| Of course, they're terrible. | ||
| It's the executive orders. | ||
| Mainstream media doesn't want to talk about that. | ||
| Then you got the Arctic Frost, where they're coming after people over and above January 6th, just to destroy the MAGA movement. | ||
| What 55 people identified? | ||
| They were moving on on all kinds of potential charges. | ||
| Didn't find anything. | ||
| But another, I think, another 111 on deck. | ||
| They're lawless. | ||
| They're completely lawless. | ||
| And yes, it is a maximalist strategy and seize the institutions and do it with urgency. | ||
| Urgency. | ||
| Do it today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're burning daylight. | |
| So you've got the chief executive power, you have the commander-in-chief power, and that's to repel an invasion and to repel the invaders. | ||
| That's what President Trump's doing and calling out. | ||
| And I think there ought to be more National Guard called out. | ||
| And they ought to go to places like Portland until they clean out the mess. | ||
| And they should stay there until they clean out the mess. | ||
| And they should go to Chicago. | ||
| They should stay there until they clean out the mess. | ||
| And ICE and it's great. | ||
| Ben Berkrom got footage. | ||
| I think we'll try to play if we can grab Ben. | ||
| Ben's got amazing footage today of guess what? | ||
| A raid that scales up. | ||
| I think it's over to Home Depot. | ||
| Last but not least, and the one that drives them crazy is because they've controlled this for so long since Richard Nixon was driven from office. | ||
| Think about that. | ||
| Over Watergate, are you kidding me? | ||
| President Trump is the chief magistrate and the chief law enforcement officer of the United States government. | ||
| Main justice, for all you Biden holdovers in the permanent part of the administrative state, the Pan Bondi can't get rid of, suck on that. | ||
| He's the man in charge. | ||
| This is why we're calling for a special counsel that will report to the chief magistrate and the chief law enforcement officer directly into the Oval Office, into the office of the presidency. | ||
| They're whining nonstop. | ||
| As my mother would say, I'm going to give you something to whine about before he got the old what for. | ||
| No whining in the war room, no crying in the war room, no tears, and no pity. | ||
| We need a maximal strategy right now. | ||

| Get the ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump. | ||
| Most importantly, talk to Philip Patrick and the team about owning physical gold. | ||
| They've got all the methodologies, 401ks, IRAs, all of it. | ||
| The most sophisticated company out there, but you want to talk to Philip Patrick. | ||
| He's got a great analysis about where gold is and where gold is going. | ||
| So make sure you check it out today. | ||
| I want to put in perspective. | ||
| First thing we're going to do here is get John Gardner. | ||
| And John is the leader in this country of kind of this small manufacturing. | ||
| He's saying we can have a renaissance and we don't need to be doing trillion dollars investments with foreign capital to build these mega plants. | ||
| We can do it differently. | ||
| And he's the advocate and the spokesman for the little guy that has these great manufacturing shops. | ||
| I have, I don't know, 25 or 50 people in it and are the backbone of the country. | ||
| John, we've been talking offline and you've been making this point that President Trump is doing something here that's historic, not just geopolitically, but also economically, in his quest to get peace throughout the world, whether it's in the Ukraine or the Middle East or around Taiwan. | ||
| Walk me through your theory of the case, sir. | ||
| Well, the post-World War II rules-based international order really created dependency for America. | ||
| That's proven now. | ||
| We've done the experiment. | ||
| America can't make its own goods for its military. | ||
| We're severely dependent on China for rare earth processing and minerals. | ||
| What President Trump's trying to do with tariffs is to make America independent. | ||
| And one of the things that I see that he's doing that I don't think enough people are talking about, and I really want it's unique, it's novel. | ||
| Creating peace by using tariff diplomacy. | ||
| President Trump said, I'd rather fight with tanks, or I'd rather fight with tariffs than tanks. | ||
| He's using tariffs as a non-kinetic warfare tool with his Trumponomics plan. | ||
| And I think that's so interesting because historically tariffs have been used to create revenue, external revenue, to protect the domestic manufacturing and to reach reciprocity agreements. | ||
| But what President Trump's doing is he's taking our golden market, America's consumer goods, and saying, if you want access to our market, if you want to be able to sell your goods here and make money, you will do as we say and stop these wars. | ||
| And here's some specific examples. | ||
| I had to write them down because it just went on and on. | ||
| I don't think he's getting enough credit for this. | ||
| And I wanted to live in his legacy and really hopefully change the minds of some of these libertarians like Rand Paul and Thomas Matthews stand against tariffs. | ||
| But, you know, in Trump term one, he had China, he told China, hey, keep your pimp hand strong with your proxy, North Korea, and have them stop doing missile tests over Japan, or else, you know, we're going to ratchet up the tariffs. | ||
| They did. | ||
| You know, he's told the EU, pay your fair share of NATO, or we're going to tariff you higher. | ||
| He had Mexico put troops on their border to stop illegal immigrants or they get tariffed. | ||
| In Trump term two, we had Thailand and Cambodia. | ||
| He said, hey, if you guys don't stop the fighting, I'm going to hammer you guys with tariffs. | ||
| Peace then followed up. | ||
| India and Pakistan, according to President Trump, he said, I'm going to hit you both with 200% tariffs if you don't figure this out within 24 hours. | ||
| And magically, the peace happened. | ||
| And that is really a unique and novel way to use these. | ||
| And I want to see the legacy media talking about this. | ||
| One of the things that affected me personally was the Rwanda-Congo peace deal is a lot of minerals, a lot of rare earths in Rwanda and Congo. | ||
| And they signed a peace deal in June of this year with President Trump promising to buy their rare earths and have other deals. | ||
| But one of the minerals that's a critical mineral that America stopped mining in 2015 was tungsten carbide. | ||
| You can see a piece of tungsten carbide here, and you do not have subtractive manufacturing if you do not have tungsten carbide. | ||
| It's used to cut things. | ||
| It's also used in the defense industry for armor-piercing shells. | ||
| And it's used in the medical to shield radiation. | ||
| It's used in welding for the electrodes in welding. | ||
| It's broadly used and we don't mine it. | ||
| So President Trump said, hey, you want to sell your raw tungsten carbide dust to us? | ||
| Make peace and we'll do that. | ||
| I also see him in Australia getting rare earth deals and Korea having them help us build up our shipbuilding industry. | ||
| And I see him out there. | ||
| I don't think he's getting enough credit. | ||
| I saw in a segment yesterday, we talked about him traveling around the world as possibly angering some America first people. | ||
| And I really think we need to look at what he's doing, how he's making these deals that will help us. | ||
| Having Korea, an ally, help us build our shipping building industry buys us time and geographic space. | ||
| In warfare, as we are in economic warfare with communist China, time and space are very valuable. | ||
| Like in June 1941, after Operation Barbarossa launched, the Soviet Union moved 2,500 of their factories to the eastern side of Russia by the end of the year, by the end of 1941. | ||
| They used that time and geographic space to reorganize to be able to produce the Russian military to fight back against Nazi Germany. | ||
| I think right now, President Trump is on this massive international geographic strategic tour to get the puzzle pieces in place for America, shipbuilding, rare earths, and creating peace while he's doing it. | ||
| And I think he's not getting enough credit. | ||
| And, you know, you mentioned, Steve, that, you know, the entrenched Washington and maybe even international leaders view President Trump as a passing storm. | ||
| And I believe his novel, unique approach to using tariffs and deploying them for peace, I want that to live in his legacy because it was impressive to me. | ||
| And I don't think he's getting enough credit for it. | ||
| By the way, the brilliance I love about this is that they're throwing tariffs back on the populist nationalist movement as really driving wars. | ||
| And John Gardner is absolutely correct. | ||
| I do want to go back and get some clarification of one point. | ||
| You said the post-war international rules-based order tied America into a cycle of dependence in President Trump's economic order with redoing the world's commercial relationships with trade arrangements around those commercial relationships that benefit American companies, the country of the United States of America, plus American citizens. | ||
| What did you mean by the first part, that the post-war international rules-based order led to dependency of the United States that was not healthy, sir? | ||
| I'm so glad you asked that. | ||
| Post-World War II, Milton Friedman, free to choose capitalism and freedom became the dogma of that if you have no tariffs, unilateral free trade, that is somehow better for your nation. | ||
| That is more freedom for your nation. | ||
| But what they didn't calculate is that when your manufacturing is done overseas in communist China or in other nations, that you are then dependent on these nations for goods. | ||
| And I don't think those academics knew anything about manufacturing. | ||
| In fact, I'll prove it in page 46 of free to choose. | ||
| Milton Friedman said it is inconceivable that complete free trade in steel would destroy the U.S. steel industry. | ||
| However, look at the UK, the nation that the Industrial Revolution started in. | ||
| They almost closed their very last steel mill on the whole nation this year had to be saved by the government. | ||
| So it is conceivable. | ||
| Also, I don't think they understood manufacturing because he mentions that it would be better and easier to stockpile steel and maintain steel plants and mothballs. | ||
| Direct quote. | ||
| Now, stockpiling steel, we use 85 million tons of steel a year. | ||
| What about copper, aluminum and the mothball plants? | ||
| You know, you can't have people coming out of Walmart and Starbucks working where molten lava is being poured. | ||
| So I just don't think Milton Friedman would have liked getting surgery from a surgeon who had maintained his skills in mothballs. | ||
| didn't understand that manufacturing is something that must be kept in constant practice. | ||
| It is a practice. | ||
| It is an experiential, experience-based thing, and you have to do it to be good at it and proficient at it. | ||
| And that mindset is something I wrote my book for. | ||
| The number one reason I wrote my book was to be used as a tool to change the Rand Paul's, to change the minds of the Thomas Masseys and these libertarians who are just no tariffs, no tariffs, no tariffs. | ||
| I wrote my book to be a tool to have them start to question: what has unilateral free trade done to us and how has it made it dependent on us a dependent nation? | ||
| And I think, you know, if we can start to question that in the universities and the academics can start to look at it, and it's on the conservative side. | ||
| I talked to a guy from Hillsdale, big Trump fan. | ||
| Hillsdale is a great conservative college. | ||
| And he's like, I love President Trump, but I just will never do tariffs. | ||
| And I was like, why? | ||
| Why won't you ever? | ||
| He said, well, I learned in business class 101 that Milton Freeman said they're bad. | ||
| And I think that I would like to start for Trump, President Trump's legacy and for America first. | ||
| I believe in free trade within America's borders. | ||
| Here's how we don't have free trade. | ||
| If I sell to a my say a company within California puts a $1,000 purchase order in with me, well, they have to pay $1,100. | ||
| They have to pay a $100 sales tax, 10%. | ||
| But they buy that same good from Communist China. | ||
| They don't have that sales tax. | ||
| I believe in free trade within our borders. | ||
| But if you want access to our golden market, you have to pay. | ||
| And how the post-World War II rules-based international order basically crippled us is they did not understand manufacturing, what it takes to keep it here within a nation, and how it is the backbone of importance for nation and national security and the middle class. | ||
| And how we keep our consumer market that people want to get into is to rebuild our middle class through manufacturing. | ||
| And that's a big concern I see coming on: the shrinking of our middle class. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| John, just hang on for a second. | ||
| I'm going to hold you over. | ||
| Julie Kelly's going to join us. | ||
| We're going to get into all this fight with the deep states. | ||
| She may actually have a scoop or two to break here. | ||
| Gardner's right. | ||
| They did not appreciate the power of manufacturing. | ||
| You know who did the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| That's where they took it with Wall Street and the corporatists helping them. | ||
| We're still dealing with that, and we'll deal with it tonight at 10 p.m. | ||

| You're going to take it to the bitter end. | ||
| Tell me what you've been working on. | ||
| So Steve, I just posted, and I'm breaking here on my Substack Declassified with Julie Kelly, our latest installment with my crack researcher, Haley McLean, our next piece on the suspicious circumstances surrounding the RNC pipe bomb. | ||
| Now, we posted a piece on Monday. | ||
| You and I talked about that. | ||
| It talks about all the inconsistencies in Carlin Younger's story. | ||
| But, Steve, the biggest inconsistency that we discovered, and this has been part of a key part of her story all along, is that when she discovered the device at 1240 on January 6th, that a timer, a hand on the timer, was set for 20 minutes, meaning it was going to detonate 20 minutes later at 1 p.m., which just happened to be the start of the joint session of Congress. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Here's a bigger wow. | ||
| There was no hand on the timer. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So in my piece, what we go through is, and I had a timer. | ||
| I even got it on Amazon. | ||
| I was going to bring it for my stunt prop. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| We have static display. | ||
| So you, anyone who's familiar with using a kitchen timer, so it has the turn knob, zero through 60. | ||
| This is the timer that was used in the two devices. | ||
| Like an egg timer, like you said. | ||
| Right, it's a kitchen timer. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| But it's housed in a separate main unit where all the components are, but there's a red arrow. | ||
| That's where you set the time. | ||
| And then it ticks away from there. | ||
| The dial that has the zero through 60 hash marks on it is a fixed dial. | ||
| It's fixed between 0 and 30. | ||
| And I have this in our piece if people want to see that. | ||
| You could see right there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Only the front dial of this timer and some of the components underneath were attached to the device. | ||
| There was no way for Carlin Younger to determine in any way, shape, or form that there were 20 minutes left on that device because the only thing on the front of the device was this dial. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| The red part, the casing, the frame of the timer that has the red mark, which actually counts down all the time, had been removed. | ||
| So there was no way for her to determine that any time was left on this timer. | ||
| It was only the face of the timer that acted as the grip. | ||
| I realize you're out and you're doing this investigation because the pipe bomb thing, Darren Beattie, yourself, you guys have been off from the beginning because something didn't feel right. | ||
| It's suspicion. | ||
| However, didn't she already tell this information to people who are professional investigators? | ||
| And shouldn't they have put two and two together before, I don't know, five years later. | ||
| Is it five years, four years later? | ||
| Five years. | ||
| Five years later, Julie Kelly back coming back and five years later before she comes to the war room and writes her piece finds it. | ||
| Isn't that suspicious? | ||
| It is highly suspicious. | ||
| And furthermore, Steve, the documents that were released by the news select committee on January 6th, it's headed by Barry Lautermel, he obtained the records related to Carlin Younger's two contacts with the FBI. | ||
| That's what we wrote about on Monday on my Substack declassified with Julie Kelly. | ||
| She sent in an online tip saying that she was the one who discovered it and then sat down with agents on January 11th where she repeated the 20-minute timer story. | ||
| So not only did she tell FBI investigators this, she also told the news media in subsequent report, in subsequent interviews. | ||
| The problem for the FBI and for everyone involved in especially the current FBI is that the assessment that we based our conclusions on, the report was conducted, investigative report into the device at Quantico and was finished on January 13th of 2021. | ||
| 48 hours later. | ||
| After she talked with yes. | ||
| So the FBI has known all along that her story about a 20-minute timer on the RNC device indicating or what she suggested is that that bomb was set to detonate at 1 o'clock. | ||
| She found it at 1240. | ||
| It was set to detonate at 1 o'clock just as the joint session of Congress convened a few blocks away. | ||
| So her story now has completely unraveled, collapsed under all the evidence of her FBI contacts and also her news media interviews. | ||
| Is it strange credulity to think that a sophisticated FBI investigator, particularly Quantico, where they have, I guess, all those labs and stuff, could have not seen what you saw? | ||
| No. | ||
| They are the ones who said, as they pieced together, this device, and they even purchased the timer that they believe. | ||
| It was this mainstays kitchen timer. | ||
| They even purchased one and disassembled it and tried to reconfigure the devices both at the DNC and the RNC. | ||
| So they knew, they knew that because that grip twist, and you could see it again right there, that is the device that was allegedly found at the RNC when she was going to do her laundry in the middle of the day, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| So, but they've known that that grip twist, which only turns, the plastic dial, it's a plastic dial, it doesn't move. | ||
| So the only thing that would have indicated a time would be that mainframe unit that was non-existent. | ||
| So why did she say that there was a 20-minute timer when it didn't exist to perpetuate this narrative that bombs were going to explode as a joint session convened? | ||
| And why did the FBI not publicize that at the time and make a big deal about it? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| And far be it from War Room to point the finger to anybody that shouldn't have the finger pointed to them, but Ms. Younger's testimony is problematic. | ||
| I guess in litigation they say we have some bad facts here about her. | ||
| We have some inconsistencies here. | ||
| So tell me about that. | ||
| Now I understand. | ||
| You kind of subtly said something the other day I kind of picked up on because I guess Julie's, I guess she's messaging us somehow. | ||
| This is pretty glaring, is it not? | ||
| It is extremely glaring. | ||
| Start with kind of this suspicious story of a woman who's working from home on January 6th. | ||
| She is working for FirstNet. | ||
| So she is already tied to law enforcement. | ||
| FirstNet is the kind of public-private partnership. | ||
| She was working for the Department of Commerce. | ||
| And what FirstNet does is overseas broadband, and this will be a follow-up story, overseas broadband for first responders for emergencies and disasters. | ||
| All of a sudden at noon, as the president starts his speech at the ellipse, Carlin Younger decides she's going to go do her laundry. | ||
| Because why not? | ||
| Because who doesn't do their laundry on a momentous day in freezing temperatures, 20 mile an hour winds, and just happened to walk first in front of the Capitol Hill Club. | ||
| There's that alleyway. | ||
| You're very familiar with it right next to the RNC. | ||
| Just walks through that alleyway at noon to do her first load of laundry. | ||
| And then it's a communal room. | ||
| It's just this room for where her building is. | ||
| So she goes into the basement, starts her laundry, walks back. | ||
| 123536. | ||
| Now, this is someone really paying attention to their laundry. | ||
| I mean, I do laundry, but I don't like time it. | ||
| 36 minutes between rinse wash cycle to dryer. | ||
| She is a pretty fastidious person. | ||
| Maybe she really had to get it done before she had to, you know, log back in for teleworking. | ||
| That's when she allegedly discovers the device, as you could see there, sitting next to a garbage can and a rat trap. | ||
| How appropriate is that? | ||
| She alerts authorities, finally gets someone at RNC, a guard there. | ||
| He alerts Capitol Police and the whole thing unraveled. | ||
| You know, then the whole thing is initiated from there. | ||
| And that's why, Steve, and this goes back to Arctic Frost, and I know we'll talk about that as well. | ||
| Because January 6th was and has been the predicate for this abusive, unconstitutional, unaccountable, sprawling investigation into the president and everyone around him in the entire MAGA movement. | ||
| It's imperative that we get the truth about everything on January 6th, starting with this pipe bomb, because that launched everything that day. | ||
| Well, as Darren Beattie and you guys said five years ago, you think a half a decade. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It was the dramatic nature of the pipe bombs at DNC and RNC that kind of kicked off the insurrection, right? | ||
| Well, think about the timeline of the discovery of this RNC device, and we have this in our piece. | ||
| She's found it, she finds it at 1240, alerts authorities. | ||
| They then divert Capitol Police to the RNC. | ||
| 1253, the first exterior breach of the Capitol with Ray Ops right there. | ||
| The first exterior breach happens. | ||
| 105, the devices found outside, found, I have to say, found outside the DNC, prompted by the discovery at the RNC. | ||
| Just so happens, Kamala Harris is there. | ||
| Still don't know why. | ||
| Random. | ||
| So random. | ||
| Lied about that for a year in court documents. | ||
| The DOJ. | ||
| Totally random. | ||
| So this really was that lit the match of January 6th. | ||
| And now that her story has completely collapsed, and I think this lie about the hand on 20 minutes is the most suspicious part of her involvement and her account that involves other inconsistencies as well. | ||
| It's quite suspicious. | ||
| We're going to hold you through. | ||
| We got another segment. | ||
| I want to get all your thoughts on, because you've been all over this. | ||
| I want to get all your thoughts on Arctic Frost and other things that are going on. | ||
| It's been pretty intense. | ||
| Birch Gold, now more than ever, you need Philip Patrick in the team. | ||
| You've got End of the Dollar Empire as a good starter to kind of get you up to speed on, I don't know, we talked about earlier the post-war international rules-based order. | ||
| How about the underpinnings of that was the U.S. dollar as the prime reserve currency? | ||
| It's under onslaught right now on a de-dollarization move led by wait for it, the Chinese Communist Party, who we're going to have a special at 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time tonight. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| That happened, but all right, I'm going to send this. | ||
| Okay, here we go. | ||
| Julie Kelly, we got six minutes. | ||
| I want to take a couple of minutes on Arctic Frost. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| So there was just released 2,000 more pages released today by Senator Grassley. | ||
| There was a press conference on the Hill today. | ||
| Senator Grassley, Senator Blackburn, Ted Cruz, others, senators who are blasting Jack Smith's really unconstitutional pursuit of records by sitting lawmakers that, as anyone knows, is covered by speech or debate clause, but that was of no concern to the DOJ and especially Jack Smith. | ||
| So more documents being released as to, I believe Chuck Grassley said today, close to 200 subpoenas that Jack Smith issued, around 45 individuals, and then about 145, 150 organizations. | ||
| And then by extension, close to 500 individuals who were then subjected to these subpoenas, communications companies, financial institutions, et cetera, who they were seeking all of these records and communications with these groups and individuals and major companies, | ||
| which Steve raises the question, and we talked about this in the J6, the J6er prosecution, is why these companies voluntarily worked hand in glove with the DOJ and FBI. | ||
| Those companies also need Bank of America, cell phone companies who worked hand in glove with this DOJ to run roughshod over not just privacy rights, but the Constitution to let this lawless thug and his goons, | ||
| Jack Smith, Jay Bratt, David Harbuck, J.P. P. Cooney, Molly Gaston, who are now representing Jack Smith, by the way, and others responsible for just, and can we stop comparing this to Watergate? | ||
| This has nothing to do with Watergate. | ||
| What's 100 times bigger? | ||
| A million. | ||
| A million times. | ||
| There's no comparison. | ||
| So it's just like, stop saying that. | ||
| There's no comparison to this in the history of this country anyway, happens all the time in other countries, has never happened here. | ||
| You also see the lawlessness in, it's not the auto pen. | ||
| It's just a lawless government where you don't know who's in charge, people making decisions. | ||
| And the signing of the executive orders, the pardons are bad enough, but the pardons are pardons. | ||
| The executive orders, they would sign executive orders by an auto pen. | ||
| To me, the unlimited liability of what these guys did and how they can be sued is outrageous. | ||
| Your thoughts on that? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I mean, look, you just go back to the fact they never thought that Donald Trump was going to win. | ||
| They never thought they would get busted. | ||
| If you look at the Arctic Frost and the way the companies work with them, they thought that they were, this was it. | ||
| This is how they're going to kill our movement and drive us into the ground. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| And that, you know, that's what I wrote about in my book published now four years ago, January 2022, that they used it to launch a war of domestic terror against American citizens on the right. | ||
| And we're learning more and more about, I mean, I was even off base saying that. | ||
| Who would have envisioned this? | ||
| No, it's so incredible. | ||
| To grassly such a steady bare hands to shock him pretty deep. | ||
| But still, the key of this is when they caught him wirentapping the Senate. | ||
| When it got to the Vestal Virgins in the Senate. | ||
| Exactly right. | ||
| That's what changed everything. | ||
| You know, and it is frustrating to see U.S. senators who said nothing while their own constituents were being had battering rams used against their front doors and being awakened at 5.30 in the morning, having armed agents point guns at children and elderly women. | ||
| And to hear John Cornyn today say, if they did this to U.S. senators, us, imagine what they could do to you. | ||
| Well, John Cornyn, we tried to get your attention for years because Texas is second only to Florida in the number of J6 defendants. | ||
| And you know how many times he went to his own constituents' defense? | ||
| It'd be zero. | ||
| None. | ||
|
unidentified
|
None. | |
| Zero. | ||
| He's a terrible guy. | ||
| Quickly, Laudermilk. | ||
| You're spending a lot of time with this. | ||
| He just got authorization to do this. | ||
| Do you anticipate some? | ||
| Because, I mean, if you're going to go redo J6, you should be at that committee. | ||
| You should be able to see everything, right? | ||
| Yes, exactly. | ||
| So I spoke with him a few weeks ago. | ||
| He is putting together, they just got authorization for the new committee, staffing up. | ||
| He's got a full agenda. | ||
| The pipe bombs is towards the top of that list. | ||
| So I really believe that he will be digging into that as well. | ||
| Are you going to go to a special? | ||
| Are you going to be a special advisor to that committee or to Maine Justice? | ||
| I am. | ||
| No. | ||
| Okay, I may recommend that. | ||
| Why would I do that? | ||
