Time Text
Hey guys, welcome to another huge, huge episode of Triggered.
It's been another week of non-stop travel.
I was over in Scotland where my father announced a historic EU trade deal, the biggest trade deal ever.
It puts Americans first, it puts American workers first, and we even happened to open up a new golf course, which is all in a day's work.
It was a really cool experience because I got to bring my kids over there.
They got to sit like me, a fly on the wall, watching a master negotiate.
It was really cool.
I mean, it's one of the things I'm truly most privileged to be able to experience.
Again, just a fly on the wall in the background watching this stuff happen for them.
You know, my kids, his grandkids, to be able to experience some of that.
I mean, truly, truly epic just to be a small part of American history, even if it's only in the periphery and in the background.
But it was a great trip.
They got to go to Scotland, see all these things, watch it happen, play some golf.
It was pretty awesome.
He's one of the few guys that can go play golf and also negotiate simultaneously the largest trade deal in history, amongst many other things, like, I don't know, minor details like solving a war between Thailand and Cambodia.
You know, again, all in a day's work.
Guys, today we'll also get into some deranged Democrat responses to the violence that took place, the disgusting violence that took place in Cincinnati, you know, where I guess a small group of people really, they attacked a mob with their faces, end up in the hospital.
But, you know, there's always a different perspective to that.
Same stuff going on in New York.
It's absolutely nuts.
We'll also get into all the latest unraveling of the deep states Russia hoax scheme.
There's apparently hidden documents now being discovered in burn bags.
So we'll get into all of those details very shortly.

And now, let's get into all of the top headlines.
So we'll begin with this massive, massive EU trade deal announced earlier this week while we were in Scotland with my father, watching, again, a master at work.
And spoiler alert, guys, I know you'll be shocked to hear this.
The experts were wrong.
Again, I mean, at what point do the experts lose their expert status?
I mean, if you're wrong about everything for years straight, shouldn't you go back like a couple of leagues?
Like if you're a baseball player, like you don't stay in the major leagues if you're batting, you know, 0.00000, maybe 0.0001.
You don't stay there, but I don't think any of that's going to ever change.
So now, under this agreement with the EU, the EU is going to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy.
Hmm, seems like a big deal, right?
Rather than buy it from Russia or wherever and supplying and enriching our enemies, they're going to buy three quarters of a trillion dollars from the United States.
And they're going to make investments of $600 billion into the United States, all by 2028.
This isn't some distant promise, guys.
We'll talk about it.
You know, we'll talk about it in 2050 when no one remembers it.
No one cares and then we'll change the deal.
This is happening now.
It's starting now.
And we'll have the dollars here in America in just a short period of time.
Also, the European Union will pay the United States a tariff rate of 15%, including on autos and auto parts, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, etc.
And guys, there will be no retaliation on the part of Europe for the U.S. tariff hype.
Remember, the EU is the largest trading partner of the United States, the biggest of all of them, actually.
And this deal is the largest bilateral trade deal ever reached, ever.
It's not even close.
It's one that corrects decades of trade imbalances.
You know, they made it impossible for our cars to get there.
They tariffed our stuff.
We just said, oh, send your stuff here, whatever.
We'll make you rich.
We'll get poor.
What could possibly go wrong?
It gets rid of those imbalances.
Or, to put it differently, we're not getting ripped off any longer.
Of course, it's also a vindication of this tough approach to trade negotiations.
How many times, how many times, guys, do we hear the media whine and bitch and complain over and over again that this would never work?
This was going to destroy the U.S. economy.
At one point, they even claimed tariff policy was like steering the Titanic towards the iceberg.
Here's a little trip down memory lane.
Is the market is pricing in the high probability of a recession?
That's really what this is all about right now.
How much, how little, we don't know.
I will say that if there is going to be a recession, there could be further for stocks to fall here.
One way to think about this, Chris, is the future value of America is now $7 to $10 trillion less than it was before Donald Trump took office.
And I guess another way to think about it is this, that, you know, the Titanic hit an iceberg by accident.
This is the equivalent of steering the Titanic towards the iceberg.
But the fear-mongering didn't stop there, guys.
Over at CNN, they warned that 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists said Trump tariff policy would only make inflation worse.
Check them out.
Now, these 16 Nobel Prize-winning economists, they're warning that Trump's policies wouldn't just fail to fix inflation, they would actually make matters worse.
Let me read you the key line from this letter, which was put out just yesterday.
They wrote, we believe that a second Trump term would have a negative impact on the U.S.'s economic standing in the world and a destabilizing effect on the U.S.'s domestic economy.
The letter, which was organized by famed economist Joseph Stieglitz, argues that the Trump policies would, quote, re-ignite inflation.
They point to what they described as, quote, fiscally irresponsible budget.
Okay, these are probably the same Nobel laureates like Paul Krugman.
Remember this one?
When he said, no, no, no, during Biden.
He's, no, no, no, inflation's really good.
And the asterisk to the graph that showed it was really good was, if you exclude, what was it, energy, housing, food, and transportation.
So remember, guys, Paul Krugman, Nobel laureate economist, he won the Nobel Prize in economics.
Inflation under Biden was great.
If you take out food, energy, housing, and transportation.
You know, if you take out everything, everything needed to sustain basic life, things were pretty good.
Of course, that's not reality.
In reality, we told a far different story.
This week, GDP growth, gross domestic product growth came in at 3%.
That's huge.
That beat expectations.
That's a lot better than we'd seen for a long time.
And inflation was just at 2%.
And the panics were all wrong again.
The pennicins.
Trump was right, as always.
Check it out.
Again, GDP, this is the first read of the second quarter coming in at 3%.
That is better than expected.
2.4%.
I want to bring in Adam Johnson.
Markets are certainly watching this right now.
Yeah, goldie lots, because I would add to that, Cheryl, that the GDP price index was only 2% and the expectation was 2.2.
In other words, we have an economy growing at, what do you say, 3%.
We have inflation at 2%.
That's the best of both worlds.
So I'm very positive on that report, at least in the moment.
And just yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson sat down with Matt Boyle and laid out how we are seeing a blue-collar wage boom.
Another thing, again, the so-called experts claimed was impossible.
One thing that's important here is, you know, there's the job numbers, but then we look at the number of jobs for American citizens, and that's really taken off.
And somehow, in the academic literature, in the mainstream media for years, the one area where supply and demand didn't matter was low-end labor.
We can let hundreds of thousands, then it turned into millions, and then maybe tens of millions of people crossed the border, and it wouldn't suppress wages.
And now, I think that we've had this horrible, horrible despair, especially among young men aged 16 to 35.
We're seeing a real problem there.
But I think now that we're seeing real wage growth, that good, high-paying jobs are coming back, that I think this is just going to build on itself.
Because a lot of these commitments for the trade deals are for substantial investments in the U.S. But despite all of this, despite the data, despite everything, Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is still clinging to the idea that tariffs are going to cause inflation.
He's basically been saying it every day since January 20th.
He was the one that cut rates right before the election to try to help Joe Biden when inflation was actually rampant and out of control.
Huh.
He cut it then, but he's not doing it now when inflation is clearly in check.
Now, he's doing the opposite.
Check this out.
Well, the bottom line is that there's great news today because we had a blockbuster GDP report that really blew through expectations, gave us 3% growth, which, by the way, we delivered in President Trump's first term as well.
But 3% income growth and inflation only at 2.1%.
This is how supply-side economics works: that if you have a big increase in supply, then you get lots of growth and you don't get inflation.
Now, the problem with the Fed when we were there in the first term was that they kept thinking that the Trump tax cuts were going to cause inflation.
They were hiking rates, so they were wrong about that.
And I think that right now, if you look at central banks around the world, they have where inflation is around the world that's quite different from the Feds.
And the Fed still, as Chairman Powell kept saying today, is obsessed on the idea that tariffs are going to cause inflation.
But they've been saying that really since January, and it keeps not happening.
And in today's GDP release, as you mentioned, only 2.1% inflation.
And again, the inflation numbers, the consumer price index, have surprised on the downside.
And it says about good numbers, low inflation numbers, five months in a row.
And so at some point, the idea that the tariffs are going to cause an explosion in inflation is something that people are going to have to give up.
And if an independent Federal Reserve is data-driven and looking at the data, that our expectation is that they're going to recognize what the ECB has already recognized, that it's okay, it's safe now to cut rates.
And by the way, guys, yesterday was the first time since 1993 that two members of the Fed's board of governors have voted against the chair.
Okay?
They get it.
They're not playing politics.
It's a very politicized organization.
I know many of you clearly want to end the Fed.
Probably not a terrible idea.
Two of the chairmen voted against the leader because they understand my father was right.
They're sick of politicizing.
They understand what this means to America.
That every point of interest costs us hundreds of billions of jobs and dollars.
Just think about that.
Here's my father explaining it in detail.
Likewise, so we have a lot of money coming in and we have no inflation and we're very strong and we should be lowering the rates.
You know, each point that this gentleman keeps up costs us $365 billion a year.
Think of that.
One point, $365 billion.
If you bring it down a point, we save $365.
We should be the lowest interest rate.
And we're not.
We're 38, number 38, because of the Fed.
It's all because of the Fed.
He's done a bad job.
Now, he's got a meeting today, but I call him too late.
You know, he's always too late.
Even if he does it today, probably won't.
I hear they're going to do it in September, not today.
For what reason?
Nobody knows.
But Europe, as you know, cut their rates 11 times in the last short period of time.
But the good news is we're doing better than anybody anywhere in the world.
Nobody's doing anything even close to us.
So the Fed chair is playing politics with interest rates.
Is he upset that he got called out on his building renovation that costs more and more every single day?
Remember that one?
What was it?
$3.5 billion for a renovation.
Okay, just so we're clear, I built one of the largest buildings ever built in America, not all that long ago, a little while ago, but building it from scratch, demolishing an existing building, creating foundations, doing a hundred-story type building for $900 million.
The renovation, the touch-up job to the Fed building, $3.5 billion?
Give me a break.
Don't you ever feel sorry for Jay Powell at all?
No, I don't feel sorry for Jerome Powell.
He's worth over $200 million.
Who I feel sorry for is the Americans who can't get a mortgage because interest rates are at 20-year highs.
I feel sorry for the fact that they can't start a family.
They can't grow a family.
They can't buy a home.
I feel sad for the single mom in East Baltimore or in East Cincinnati who can't get a credit card because Jerome Powell is trying to undermine the president of the United States.
I'm sorry, Stuart.
I don't feel sorry for a man who is using his political position to undermine the duly elected president of the United States.
Jerome Powell, one, needs to lower rates and two needs to open his meetings up.
Our founding father, Stuart, would be appalled to learn that a secret group of bankers is meeting behind closed doors and we have no idea what they're actually doing in their deliberations.
And by the way, I also think it's important to note that the same people claiming that tariffs would destroy the economy are also the same ones who pushed the Russia collusion hoax from day one and who have pushed pretty much every other hoax from day one as well.
The point being, guys, these same people are always wrong on just about everything.
And the regime media just can't even allow themselves to admit the obvious that the Trump agenda is working and that the phony scandals are being exposed more than ever.
Well, I would just like to go, but I'd like to build a DeLorean and go back to April when everybody here was predicting likely to cause a recession.
Investment stops and a recession happens.
They're not talking about a U.S. recession.
They're talking about a global recession.
Eventually there's being a recession.
Palpable panic on Wall Street.
Red numbers and worries about something else that starts with an R. Recession.
You called the recession.
You took your shoe off.
And Joe.
Touch this enough again.
You took your shoe off.
You brought 15 recession.
You took your shoe off and you said there was going to be a recession.
Economic circumstances have now been put in place that most Wall Street economists of senior note say are likely to cause a recession.
GDP is 3%.
It's too early to give a final verdict.
Scott, Scott.
That's too early.
He's basically calling me.
It's too early to give a final verdict on the tariffs.
You may wish to, but at the moment, it can't be said what the long-term effect is going to be.
I am just a journalist, and all I can do is read the economic.
It's a bit of a stretch.
Three CDPs.
Trade deals, record high in the stock.
All these transformations.
It's actually much less.
Garbage.
Yes.
Hold on a second.
You guys are so mad.
Why aren't you rooting for culture?
Be careful.
Why does this take no root for flyers, please?
Because you are saying that you're ruining.
You're taking a number of 40, 50, 60% back in April, and you're comparing it to a number of 10, 15% now.
Fine.
But this is a strategy to negotiate and create leverage sky.
And give us a situation as conveniently.
Now, in addition to the documents released by DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard, the FBI director, Cash Patel, found a trove of sensitive documents related to the collusion hoax buried in multiple, quote, burn bags, burn bags.
They were ready to just get rid of it all in a secret room inside the Bureau building.
So what's a burn bag, you ask?
It's a sensitive security bag that holds sensitive or classified information which are to be destroyed by fire after a certain period of time.
And sources tell us they were stashed in a hidden room on the ninth floor of FBI HQ headquarters.
And this isn't just a one-off thing.
There's more coming.
Now ask yourself, guys, how many burn bags are scattered across the FBI or across other government agencies?
And just how much other evidence was already destroyed that we still don't know about it.
That's what I'm curious about.
How much was already gone?
How much was it like they just launched it?
They did it.
They realized it wasn't going anywhere or they realized they got what they wanted out of it.
And we're just going to burn all the evidence.
Here's Tulsi Gabbard with more details.
It's a very different story, however, if you use a burn bag to try to get rid of evidence of which maybe there is only one copy of, and then hide it in a secret room in the FBI.
That is a tactic, obviously, that has been used by those deep staters, these bad actors within the intelligence community to try to get rid of evidence.
Another tactic that's often used is over-classifying information.
This is what happened with the Steele dossier.
This was already widely publicized as a discredited document.
But what John Brennan did and James Clapper did as the CIA director and Obama's director of national intelligence, they didn't want anybody to know that they used the Steele dossier as a source for this intelligence assessment that was filled with falsehoods they published in January of 2017, as well as other really, really shoddy intelligence sources that would not be acceptable to be used on any topic because they were not deemed credible.
They wanted to hide all of this from members of Congress, perhaps who were reading this and the American people and President Trump, then President-elect Trump at that time.
And so they overclassified it in a way that there were less than 10 people who could access it.
And then they locked up the only hard copy documents.
This document did not exist on digits, the document that actually exposed.
This was the document that we released.
They locked that document up and the five copies that existed in a safe.
And the first time it had been seen, certainly in public, but even by many within the government, was when we released it about a week ago.
And yet people like Comey and Brennan still have the audacity, they're still out there to lecture us about norms.
They did a lot of norms, guys.
Everything's norms and this is the way it's done.
It's not how it's done, okay?
They have rules, we have rules, and they ain't the same.
They wonder why we call it the deep state, because they are literally caught red-handed hiding documents, exposing their corruption, their deceit, their outright lies.
And as Devin Nunes also explained, all of this information we're now seeing for the first time was never given to Congress.
They asked for it.
It was supposed to be, but it was hidden from them.
Other than bits and pieces to have Democrats selectively leak lie after lie, they hid it all.
Take a look.
Is back with us.
And, Devin, you made several criminal referrals to the DOJ.
Talk to us about specific crimes that this cabal committed.
Well, the easiest ones are lying to Congress and omitting information from Congress, which the most recent one was put out by Director Gabbard recently in this PDB, Presidential Daily Brief.
None of that information was ever given to Congress.
It's kind of critical information that was missed, right?
That would have been critically important for our report.
In addition to that, John Ratcliffe talked about conspiracy.
And conspiracy, there is no statute of limitations.
And like I was saying in the last segment, I think people need to remember that all of these hoaxes that happened were done by the same people in many cases, and one led to the other.
So you had Hillary starts the collusion hoax.
Obama continues the collusion hoax.
Moeller continues the collusion hoax.
I mean, Moeller and that team of witch hunters should also be looked at everything that they did.
Then when Moeller completely flames out, why?
Because there was no intelligence that tied Trump to Russia, then what happens?
We get this fake whistleblower from inside the agencies that says that Trump's doing something weird with Ukraine, and so you end up with that.
And then you get to the Hunter Biden laptop, and then you get to the raid at Mar-a-Lago.
All of that is happening with basically the same two dozen people and media operatives that are all involved in perpetuating these hoaxes.
But the problem is you cannot destroy evidence.
You cannot hide evidence from Congress.
We had multiple subpoenas that went out there.
I'd be surprised to see if there was any information hid from John Durham.
I think Durham and his team could play a role in maybe helping out this new strike force that's put together because there's probably a lot that was hidden from them.
So there's plenty of conspiring going on.
Multiple laws, in my opinion, were broke.
The question will be: can you build a case strong enough that a jury would convict some of these people?
That's really going to be the key.
No statute of limitation on conspiracy.
10 years of lies, attacks to stop Donald Trump.
We're going to take a short break, and then I've got one final question for you, Devin Nunes.
You're a hero.
So given all that we know now, without a shadow of a doubt, I want to play this flashback from John Brennan on CNN in 2020 after a disclosure made by former DNI, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, where Brennan actually confirms that he briefed Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and James Comey on the phony Russia collusion hoax.
A piece of advice to Brennan.
Lawyer up.
Check this out.
What can you tell us about these notes that you wrote about this Russian intelligence?
And what do you make of DNI Ratcliffe releasing them right now?
Well, John Ratcliffe is anything but an intelligence professional.
It is appalling, his selective declassification of information that clearly is designed to advance the political interests of Donald Trump and Republicans who are aligned with him.
But these were my notes from the 2016 period when I briefed President Obama and the rest of the National Security Council team about what the Russians were up to.
And I was giving examples of the type of access that the U.S. intelligence community had to Russian information and what the Russians were talking about and alleging.
Now, if in fact what the Russians were alleging, that Hillary was trying to highlight the reported connections between Trump and the Russians, if in fact that was accurate, and that's a big if, there is nothing at all illegal about that.
And so John Ratcliffe and others are trying to portray this as potentially unlawful activity that deserved follow-up investigation by the FBI.
No, it was a campaign activity.
But again, I was giving examples to the president and others of the types of access we had.
And I was blind to whether it referred to one candidate or the other.
I was blind to whether it referred to one party or the other.
And what I might also point out, I know that John Ratcliffe released a memo that was sent over to the FBI.
It's called a CIOL, which is a counterintelligence operational lead, which was again a very selective release and declassification.
There are a lot of other CIOLs that talk about the contacts that were taking place between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russians.
So he might want to think about trying to balance some of these releases by providing information to the American public about what the intelligence community had unearthed during this period of time about Russia's interactions with those involved in the Trump campaign.
So if the election's contacted.
Remember, guys, we learned a couple of weeks ago that in December 2016, intelligence officials prepared an assessment that found that Russia did not have the capacity or the capability to try to affect the outcome of the election.
The document reads that the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was, quote, probably not trying to influence the election by using cyber means.
And of course, there was no collusion.
However, guys, this assessment was withdrawn based on new guidance.
I wonder what that new guidance could have been.
Maybe we just want to change the narrative.
We want to try to hurt Trump.
We assumed Hillary was going to win.
That was a shoe-in and a no-brainer because it was her turn.
But so it was recalled based on new guidance, new guidance.
Like, we're just going to lie to the American public.
Because the very next day, intelligence officials, including Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, all met at the White House where Obama directed them to reach different conclusions about Russia.
So we have the evidence.
We have all the analytics.
We have the data, but we don't like the outcome.
So we're going to come to a different conclusion.
So Brennan is now in the crosshairs of not just lies, but outright criminality, as is Obama and others.
And what about the regime media, guys?
They endlessly covered a completely fake story for years.
But since the latest document drops, they've been almost completely silent.
It's like, huh, if we don't cover it, maybe it didn't happen.
We've played you all the media montages, showing you their fake nonsense day after day.
And according to newsbusters, the three major broadcasts, nightly newscasts, has spent a grand total of two minutes total in the last few weeks talking about the new Russia hoax revelations and the declassification.
Two minutes.
Okay.
They spent thousands of hours talking about Russia collusion.
Probably tens of thousands of hours.
It's all they talked about for like three years.
They were still talking about it years after it was disproven.
Guys, this is why we fight.
This is why we can never, ever give up.
They tried to silence us.
They tried to cancel us.
They tried to shut us down.
They even tried and in many cases did jail us.
But we are still here and we just keep on winning.
Again, it's why I ask you to like, to share, to subscribe, send this stuff around, because you're not going to get it from conventional sources.
And this sort of censorship and corruption isn't just here at home.
For example, yesterday, the Treasury and State Department slapped sanctions on a Brazilian Supreme Court justice overseeing the trial of former President Yair Bolsonaro over legal schemes to authorize arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppressing freedom of expression.
We've seen what they've been doing over there.
We saw what they did to Rumble.
We saw what they tried to do to X. We saw all of these things, okay?
Very one-sided.
And as Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie wrote, quote, the sanctions against Justice Morales today make it clear that President Trump takes the censorship and persecution complex in Brazil, of which De Morales was the chief architect with the utmost seriousness.
Those complicit in Demorales' human rights violations should take notice.
And Eduardo Bolsonaro, friend of mine, friend of the show, congressman over there, he's been on this show many times, added, for the first time, the architect of censorship, political repression, and judicial persecution in Brazil is facing real consequences, joining the infamous ranks of sanctioned human rights abusers around the world, such as dictator Nicolas Maduro.
It's not wrong.
They are telling Bolsonaro he can't speak.
They're telling his sons they can't speak.
They're telling them they can't even speak to each other.
It's absolute insanity.
And it's not just in Brazil, guys.
Next door in Colombia, left-wing President Gustavo Petro and corrupt courts are now trying to jail one of their top political opponents, former President Alvaro Uribe.
Earlier this week, Uribe was convicted on baseless charges of bribery and wiretapping.
What's remarkable is there isn't actually any evidence of this other than two former generals alleging that it happened.
So there's no tape.
There's none of this.
Just a couple of stooges working for the other side that say, oh, yeah, that definitely happened.
That should be enough.
But the judge doesn't care, guys.
It's just like the lawfare we saw against my father.
It doesn't matter what the facts are.
They want to jail their political opponents.
It's disgraceful.
But the good news is the era of weak appeasement is over.
We're actually inflicting consequences against rogue regimes and nations who wish us harm.
Also, last week, the State Department and Treasury sanctioned the cartel de las Solas, thought to be the largest cartel in the world, led by Maduro in Venezuela and responsible for sending Trendelaragua to America for drug trafficking and a countless number of deaths and destruction.
And shockingly, this is the first time they've been sanctioned.
I mean, think about that.
One of the largest cartels, if not the largest cartel in the world.
They've never been sanctioned before.
It's like, ah, well, you know, they're just doing their job.
You know, they got a business.
We may not love it, but it's okay.
What a clown show we went through for the last four years before Trump.
But this is a historic move to actually confront these criminal syndicates head on.
My point is, business as usual is over.
Why?
Because business as usual did not work.
It gave us terrible outcomes.
It gave us terrible trade deals.
Countries ripping us off.
Evil regimes exporting terror and crime.
Higher costs, lower wages, while the swamp cashed in.
But guys, that is all over now.
The U.S. government under my father's leadership is finally taking action against these abuses on a world stage.
They're making it clear that America will use all its might to protect Americans from those who wish to destroy the values that make this nation great.
And in many cases, it's happening from within.
Just look at what we've been seeing from the so-called leadership in Cincinnati, Ohio.
By now, you've probably seen the video of a mob attack last week, leaving several people seriously injured.
It's disgusting and it's disturbing.
But what's equally as disgusting is the response from the police chief, because apparently she thinks the true victim is actually the violent mob.
Check this out.
Another topic I want to cover real quick.
Social media and journalism and the role it plays in this incident.
And yes, guys, that's you.
That is you.
Social media, the post that we've seen, does not depict the entire incident.
That is one version of what occurred.
At times, social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event.
What that does, that causes us some difficulties in thoroughly investigating the activity and enforcing the law.
Because what happens, that social media post and your coverage of it distorts the content of what actually happened.
And it makes our job more difficult.
Go ahead, right here.
Thank you.
Two questions.
Where were the nearest officers?
In the central business section, they were working.
They were both in vehicles.
And like I said, they had to maneuver through the traffic.
Second question is, you had said social media and news media distorted the content of what actually happened.
What exactly was distorted?
I understand that there was one, you know, multiple views of the video, but exactly what led up to this.
I mean, what was distorted?
Yeah, so I think by the irresponsibility with social media is it just shows one side of the equation quite frequently without context, without factual context.
And then people run with that.
And then it grows legs and it becomes something bigger that we then have to try to manage As part of the investigation.
Now, in response, I posted on X, maybe one of the reasons there's so much crime and violence in the streets of Cincinnati is because they have this absolute moron as their police chief.
I'd say that's probably a safe bet, guys.
And this is just one example.
Another example, a deranged gunman killed multiple people in New York earlier this week in a Park Avenue office building.
This is blocks from where I basically grew up.
And as the story was unfolding, CNN speculated that, quote, he is a male, possibly white.
Spoiler alert, guys, he wasn't.
But here's how CNN covered it.
And do you know, John, at this point, when he came in, the way you described him walking across the plaza all in black, but with a long gun visible.
So it sounded like he, other than the long gun, which is not a simple thing to say, other than, in New York City, right?
People don't walk around with guns like that.
But was his face visible?
I mean, do they have any idea at this point who he is?
They do not know who he is.
They know he is a male, possibly white.
He's wearing sunglasses.
He appears to have a mustache.
And that picture has been distributed to every police officer in New York City, particularly has been sent to the phones of the search teams inside that building.
Because whenever they encounter a group of people, the first thing they have to figure out is: is that individual among these people hiding among victims or pretending to be an office worker?
Because one thing you don't want to have happen is to have this kind of cordon where you're trying to evacuate people in groups as you can get them to a safe corridor and have this person slip out with them.
So, yes, they have the picture and they have distributed to everybody on the scene.
I mean, what is wrong with these people?
They're not even trying to get the story right.
In fact, it's just the opposite.
They spew outright lies to avoid getting to the truth.
The second they get the truth and it's not conducive to their narrative, they just stop covering it.
Same playbook over and over again, guys.
We've seen it for years now.
But what's the Democrats' response been?
To use these murders to push for a nationwide assault weapons ban.
Here's communist New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mandani in his own words.
And as New Yorkers across the five boroughs and Americans across the country mourn this mass shooting, we are reminded that no matter how strong our gun laws are in this state, we are only as safe as the weakest laws in this nation.
And so in this moment, the onus is on all of us to follow the words of Alan's brother and to put forward a vision of stronger gun laws.
And I echo the call from Governor Hochul for a nationwide ban on assault rifles.
The guy wants to defund the police also doesn't want law-abiding citizens to be able to defend themselves.
And this guy is the frontrunner to be the next mayor of New York City.
Again, it's why everything the Trump administration is doing means so much at this moment.
We are the last line of defense against a completely destructive leftist agenda at home and abroad.
It's why we must send a powerful message to anyone anywhere who thinks they can silence political opposition or censor information.
Because otherwise, you end up with losing one right, one freedom after another.
Free speech, the right to bear arms, due process, and so on and so forth.
All of them, they will be gone if the Democrats get their way.
So whether you're talking about trade deals or the deep state switch hunts or the battle for free speech against authoritarian judges, one thing is clear.
We are living in truly pivotal times.
The stakes could not be higher.
But the good news is the American spirit is alive.
It is well.
People are waking up.
They're seeing through the lives.
They're demanding accountability.
And that's why we do this podcast.
That's why you tune in, because we're not going to let them control the narrative.
We're not going to let them hide the truth.
We're going to keep fighting, keep exposing, keep speaking truth to power, because that's what patriots do.
That's what Americans do.
We don't back down.
We stand tall and we will never, ever give up the fight for freedom.
And guys, last but not least, apparently, hot chicks are back.
Have you guys watched the controversy about Sidney Sweeney, the rather good-looking actress who did an American Eagle ad in jeans?
They tried saying it's Nazi propaganda because she's saying jeans, J-E-A-N-S instead of G-E-N-E-S.
It's wild.
But think about it.
Fat and ugly liberal people all over America are outraged because people actually like good-looking people again.
I mean, I don't know that that's ever changed.
I don't think I ever stopped liking good-looking people, but they are going nuts.
You have to see some of these things.
You also, you also have to check out some of these memes.
You know, Trump in the Sidney Sweeney outfit, Autism Capital, a funny account on X did a thing about me because I was walking off the plane on Air Force One coming back from Scotland.
And, you know, listen, I'm a rather, you know, largely endowed for a man.
I just have a big chest.
And as you can see, for a big-chested guy, it's not a lot of fat.
Okay, I don't know that I have bamboobs.
There are guys that have bamboobs.
I don't think I'm one of them, but I do have a large chest.
They went after me in good fun.
So I had some fun with it back over on Instagram.
So check that out.
But you have to see the outrage, the insanity.
But again, guys, the fact that they're going nuts about a good-looking woman modeling clothes is sort of amazing.
When you compare that to a few years ago, where you'd put a 400-pound person in lingerie and try to tell people it's supposed to be super sexy, and if you're not attracted to it, you're a racist or a misogynist or whatever the hell you're one of the isss.
You're one of those things.
We are back.
The world is healing.
Good-looking people are acceptable again.
They're not going to throw them in the gulags, at least not yet.
Not yet.
I guess if the Democrats get their way, they may do it.
But it's been wild.
Check out some of these memes.
I'm going to try to check out some of these clips also because it's pretty amazing watching these people talk about it.
And then when you see the juxtaposition of, you know, a good-looking woman in a jeans ad, it's like, you know, we're back.
This is like the 90s again, where everyone was good-looking if they were modeling.
I mean, this sort of nature of a model is that they happen to be attractive and not attractive because, you know, they're overweight and we have to pretend that's healthy and we have to pretend these things.
So it was sort of a wild week, but yet another example of how we are back, why we are back, and why this should stay.
So keep fighting.
Check it out because it's wild.
I mean, the fact that they can turn this into a controversy is truly special.
But these people are imbeciles.
So, you know, they'll never let the obvious go.
They'll just, they got to go after it.
So I hope they keep doing it because it shows just how insane they actually are.
Because you used the word normal and talked about it in the context of this white woman.
White women are normal, but so are other people.
The problem is, historically, we have only normalized white people.
And so we've made white women's, white women's bodies, white male bodies the norm.
And we've made everything else less human, less beautiful, less real.
And so when we say good genes are the ones.
That's a load of crap.
Honestly, I'm sorry, Mark.
If I may jump in on my own show, what a load of crap.
I saw Beyonce do a genes ad.
Everybody drooled over it.
I loved it.
Thought she looked hot when she did.
Right?
I mean, what are you talking about, man?
This is...
Let me ask you a straight question.
Does Sydney Sweeney, does Swidney, does Sidney Sweeney have bad genes?
Yes or no?
No.
I don't think she has bad genes.
Does she have good genes?
Does she have good genes?
No.
Again, you're trying for these gotchas if you don't.
So she doesn't have good or bad genes.
The whole point is to argue that good and bad genes itself is a bad idea.
It's a race.
Why can't you have good genes, Mom?
Why is it racist?
Why can't we have good genes?
All right, I'm going to respond and I'm going to hope that you don't interrupt me as I answer.
Okay?
Because again, no one else has been interrupted except the people who disagree with you.
What I'm saying is the word.
Listen, listen, listen.
The word eugenics literally means good genes.
It literally means that etymologically.
The point here is to judge human beings based on their genes and to decide that you have good genes and you have bad genes isn't in and of itself a racist project.
That's the point.
So no, it's not that I think that I have good genes and you can't say anyone else is good genes.
I'm saying let's get rid of the good genes narrative, particularly when it's based on hair and eyes and body type.
Why?
Because those things are racially coded.
