Saturday Morning Live: Shocking Revelations From John Bolton House Raid — Plus, Ghislaine Maxwell Transcripts Reveal Truth About Trump & Epstein! Good Morning InfoWars - FULL SHOW - 08.23.2025 With your host @BreannaMorello https://t.co/XdQ3pcxY1X
Breanna Morello unpacks the John Bolton house raid, where leaked transcripts reveal he dismissed Trump’s classified document removal as "cool things" and criticized FBI Director Christopher Wray. Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell’s DOJ transcripts deny witnessing Trump-Epstein misconduct but confirm Epstein’s early 2000s role in launching the Clinton Foundation, sparking accusations of FBI evidence suppression favoring "Russia Gate." In Tennessee, ICE plans to deport MS-13 trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda despite DHS objections, while Minnesota’s DFL mayoral endorsement chaos—"hundreds uncounted," delegates missing—fuels election fraud claims. Florida’s DeSantis ramps up deportations, and Fed Chair Powell faces September rate-cut pressure amid Trump’s threats over mortgage fraud, exposing tensions between executive power and monetary policy independence. The episode ties these threads into a broader narrative of institutional resistance, legal maneuvering, and political battles reshaping governance. [Automatically generated summary]
Garcia is currently facing federal human smuggling charges and is awaiting his criminal trial.
Now, I reached out to the DOJ's Pam Bondi for comment on all of this, and I did not hear back, but I did hear back from DHS Secretary Christy Noam.
Christy Noam not holding back when she said this in part.
unidentified
We reached a new low with this publicity-hungry Maryland judge mandating this illegal alien who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, and serial domestic abuser and child predator be allowed free.
Now, that's because Uganda has reached a deal with the United States to accept third-party deportation.
unidentified
So, that should be interesting, and we will continue to follow the story as it develops.
But let's head on over to Minnesota because, folks, there's a lot going on in Minnesota, and unfortunately, they're dealing with an Islam takeover, specifically in Minneapolis.
And as many of you guys probably heard, the party there, the Democratic Farm Labor Party in Minnesota, just recently endorsed a socialist named Omar Fatih.
This is not a scenario where you need to take my word for it.
unidentified
As the state party said, and as the investigation showed, this was a process that was rife with errors and misconduct.
Hundreds of people didn't get counted out of hundreds of votes in total.
There was an entire ward where nobody knew who the ward delegates were.
The whole thing went missing.
I don't know.
We still don't know exactly how they came to the determination based on that ward.
The data itself was given to the other campaigns and they were allowed to edit it.
An absolute disgrace, and it's very likely that elections might possibly get stolen again, as we've always discussed, by the same individuals who are running all of this.
So, we'll continue to follow it as it develops, of course.
But again, it looks like there's tons of election fraud possibly still taking place, and President Trump looking to crunch down on that as we head into federal elections.
They're saying it's not just about that, that this raid potentially has a lot to do with their allegations, making a lot of money from overseas and may have traffic intelligence information.
unidentified
Now, it's not just Fox News saying that.
My good friend attorney Mike Davis is also alluding to the fact that this warrant isn't just covering classified documents.
And he's warning Democrats and rhinos that they might look really silly once that document is made public.
But after the raid on Bolton's home, we're starting to wonder why was John Bolton so against Tulsi Gabber getting selected to run DNI?
And why was he so aggressively attacking FBI Director Cash Battelle?
Now, starting to learn why.
Continue accountability would eventually come his way.
And he's the first one so far on the accountability tour.
There's a couple of different ways that people think about this, and people who are not friendly to the president, who think about what's happened here.
unidentified
And one of them is, you know, Donald Trump master thief, you know, criminal running some kind of elaborate conspiracy to bring things out of the White House and keep them secret for potentially for political or financial gain.
There are other people who attitude is Trump is chaotic.
He's careless.
He's not that smart.
He just, he wants, he took these things almost by mistake, and now he's basically stamping his feet and saying, they're mine.
Give me a sense of where you think the truth lies with respect to Trump's intelligence, carelessness, and the degree to which he might have brought motive to bear on taking these documents out of the White House and keeping them for this long at Mar-a-Lago.
unidentified
Well, I don't, it's very hard to speculate on motive other than that he liked cool things.
He saw things that he, so he wanted to take them and he was pretty much able to take them and not just on classified information matters, on all kinds of things that crossed his desk.
I'm so glad we got John Bolton on the record on how serious classified documents being brought home are.
I look forward to them playing that at his criminal trial, of course.
And I love how he's laying out the groundwork and all of that for his bed of lies, claiming that President Trump was also going to weaponize the DOJ because, folks, we all know, we all know that the machine, the deep state machine, was the ones looking to weaponize the DOJ, not President Trump.
He's looking to hold them all accountable.
And we hope, we hope that that is actually the case.
Now, let's go to the first screen grab that we have of this because I've been sifting through the transcripts, so you guys don't have to.
unidentified
And it's very, very lengthy.
Now, in a lot of this, she's actually, I guess I would just say she's defending President Trump because the corporate media has been lying about President Trump's involvement with Epstein.
And so, this clears a lot of those rumors up if you believe what she's actually saying is being truthful.
She says that she's never witnessed President Trump being inappropriate and that she hasn't received it.
She hasn't heard of any of that between the Masseys or anyone else that was interacting with both her, Epstein, or President Trump.
Now, she also goes on to debunk that Wall Street Journal report.
unidentified
Now, specifically in the transcript, she's being asked about Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday and how there were all these letters that were gifted to him for his 50th birthday.
Now, she did get some discovery in one of her legal manners, and she's asked about that discovery.
She's asked specifically if she remembers seeing a letter written by President Trump with an illustration included.
And she herself says no.
She doesn't recall ever seeing that letter.
And she's someone who claims that she read through all of this.
She says that her definition of appropriate surveillance footage, or I'm sorry, cameras would be cameras outside of the property, not those inside the property, in personal spaces.
unidentified
So she's denying that there's even black mail, folks.
And this was one of the stories that I dropped yesterday after going over the OIG report that just recently was released by DHS on TSA.
unidentified
There were several, I mean, several alarming elements to all of this.
And it seems like it's a never-ending security failure when it comes to TSA.
And we're going to outline some of that for you today.
First things first, what was one of the clearest things about this OIG report is how, well, TSA really isn't good at delegating its roles to its agents.
I mean, it's really just the trade rack of an agency.
And it creates internal conflicts and tensions between both TSA and federal air marshals.
And all of that is clearly outlined in this report.
Now, they also say in this report, and this is a major issue, that TSA's investigations over misconduct allegations rarely really result in any type of accountability.
unidentified
Now, obviously, that is concerning because we've seen cases of misconduct, and there's a lot of them.
I mean, we're talking about over 177 cases that were allegedly opened on all of this.
So, again, we are extremely concerned.
Joining me is a woman who is very concerned as well.
Please welcome to the show, Sonia Labasco.
She's the executive director of Air Marshall National Council, and she joins us now.
Sonia, you have read through this OIG report.
You've done all the digging on all of this.
Let's focus on the first thing.
We saw that TSA is being criticized for not holding its agents accountable when they're supposed to.
What's that all about?
Well, Brianna, this is a really concerning report.
Now, this is the Inspector General, Joseph Ghaffari, who's come out, and this was just recently.
This has to do with the TSA Insider Threat Program.
unidentified
So, an insider threat, just to describe what that is, it is a person that has secure access to a sensitive area of our infrastructure, whether it be at the airport, at the train station, at the port.
It's someone who wears a credentialed badge.
They've been vetted.
So, they have access to these areas within the body of the airport or at the train station that they don't have access, you know, that normal people would not.
And what happens with insider threat?
Someone calls an insider threat report in, maybe another employee reports that, hey, I saw an employee bringing bags through, you know, in the baggage area of the aircraft that they shouldn't have there.
And these are the type of threats that are, we should be taking these extremely serious because nobody's breaking their access to go inside a secure area for any reason other than criminal activity, terrorism, or any other type of illicit illegal behavior.
Yeah, and there's been cases of TSA agents being charged.
I remember there was one you sent it over to me of TSA agents who have been criminally charged on this.
And we're talking about 177 investigations that it looks like it took place.
Let me pull it up because, again, that's all available right now.
177 cases records have been pulled up.
And so, this is all again on the independentnewsroom.com.
We put this out there for you guys to go take a look at this yourself.
I mean, that is something that is really, really concerning, Sonia.
unidentified
And again, I mean, it sounds like the new administration has a lot of mess to clean up in that regard.
So, we'll see how they handle that.
I'll get your take also on how we could resolve these issues.
But I also wanted to ask you in regards to the other element in all of this.
We saw that the report specifically is also calling out the communication issues between TSA and the federal air marshals, specifically how I guess tasks aren't designated appropriately, and how there's a lot of conflicts that have come up from all of this, and tensions between both of these agencies has kind of brewed from all of this.
What are some of the gray areas, I guess I should say, in regards to TSA not properly telling its agents what their roles are?
Well, Brianna, it goes back, okay, so there's two agencies.
There's two, there's an inner conflict right now and DHS, even the OIG inspector general said that this turf war basically in TSA is impeding national security investigations.
You've got the Federal Air Marshal Director Brian Belcher.
We've heard his name many times.
Remember, he's the guy that thought it was okay to put Tulsi on the Quiet Skies watch list.
He's the guy that thinks it's okay that he's unarmed our air marshals.
I saw that this kind of concludes the report concludes by TSA agreeing on all six recommendations to take those up.
Briefly, if you could just describe what these recommendations are and are they enough to fix these issues?
Well, those recommendations are not enough to fix these issues because let's face it, at the end of the day, Brianna, when a piece of paper, when a piece of paper impedes national security investigations, somebody needs to be fired.
I mean, at the end of the day, there's no way that one piece of paper, this piece of paper, should stop a national security investigation from occurring.
The other thing I wanted to point out too in regards to this report from the DHSOIG, but also from the government accountability office, they did their own separate report.
There is no standardized operating procedures with either of these groups with TSA.
Where is the money going internally to try to keep individuals safe if our insider threat program can't even function properly?
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, that's a legit question that should be asked.
Sonia, we've got about 30 seconds.
I kind of wanted to get your take on this, the new administration stepping in and trying to correct a lot of the issues, shutting down the quiet skies list and so many other things that they've done behind the scenes.
What can they do now to make these changes to fix these issues?
Well, they have to clean out all the Biden holdovers.
You know, we've got all the upper executives, the senior executive service.
I'm very excited to show you what my tinfoil hat looks like very, very soon.
unidentified
So make sure you guys grab one as well.
But a lot going on in the world today.
And I was, you know, scrolling to my X feed and I completely forgot about a story that involved John Bolton and a Pakistani man allegedly looking to possibly kill President Donald Trump.
I think it's actually the perfect time to discuss just that.
unidentified
I'm talking about the 2024 plot where they said that, or the government alleged, that a Pakistani man made his way into the United States with an elaborate plot to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Ken, I want to thank you for jumping on with us today because I totally forgot about this story.
unidentified
And you've resurfaced it.
You brought it back to the top for all of us to focus on.
And obviously, after Bolton had his Maryland home raided, that this is pretty relevant.
So let's talk about Bolton's angle and all of this because the story was kind of confusing because obviously this was the Biden DOJ going after this man and making all these allegations.
And it's kind of ironic that John Bolton's now under pressure by the FBI when he once worked hand in glove with agents to fabricate this so-called Iranian plot.
So the quick and dirty is, you know, we go back to January 2020, the Trump administration assassinates Iranian general Soleimani.
Ever since then, there have been all these reports that Iran wants revenge.
They want to kill Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Donald Trump.
And, you know, listen, I'm sure there are millions of Iranians that would like to see these guys dead.
Whether the Iranian government has the capacity to assassinate a U.S. official on American soil is a totally another matter.
So far, we've seen no solid evidence of this.
And moreover, you got to look at it from the standpoint of the Iranian regime, a cost-benefit analysis.
They know that if they kill a U.S. official, that spells the end for them.
Trump would, you know, totally wipe out the entire country.
unidentified
In fact, that's what Trump said.
He said, if Iran kills me, I've left instructions for J.D. Advance to destroy the entire country.
Despite that, in 2021, the Secret Service started affording John Bolton protection, costing the taxpayers $20,000 a month in response to this purported Iranian threat.
It's a year later, the DOJ announces that they uncovered an Iranian plot against Bolton, and they indicted some guy in Iran who, of course, will never be arrested, never appear in court, will never see the evidence because he's in Iran.
unidentified
But if you look at the indictment, it just doesn't pass the smell test.
The case amounts to some guy in Iran talking on the internet with somebody who he thought was a hitman in the U.S. Turns out the hitman was an FBI informant.
At one point in 2022, the FBI has the informant go to Bolton's house, take a picture, send it back to Iran, building the case.
They interviewed Bolton, much to do about nothing.
unidentified
To top it off, it turns out that the agent in charge of this entire case in the Washington field office was Stephen D'Antuono, who people might be familiar with that name because he headed the Detroit field office in 2020 for the whole Whitmer fednapping case.
And then he was transferred to D.C. a month later, and he was the deputy there when January 6th goes down.
D'Antuono headed the investigation into the Capitol Hill pipe bomber.
There have been several similar cases involving a purported plot to assassinate Trump.
unidentified
And, you know, we can get deeper into those if you'd like to, but I'll, this is long-winded, so I'll pause and see if you have any questions.
Yeah, no, I mean, you did a great job explaining all of that.
And the part that's so infuriating is we constantly are seeing the FBI and especially under the Biden regime set up people online and then go after them and pretend like there's a extensive threat to officials.
And it's really just the FBI pushing someone, poking them with a stick online to get them to do something so that they could cook up their numbers.
I know, you know, FBI whistleblower Steve Fren is someone who's spoken out publicly about all of this and how they do it.
So I think it's very interesting.
But, you know, you have the angle on specifically, we've got about 30 seconds before we go to our next topic.
The dirty little secret in that is that he was led in the country in April on what's called a significant benefit parole program, which reporter John Solomon did great work on this.
This is like when you let somebody in the country specifically because they're either an informant or because, you know, it's part of an elaborate sting operation.
unidentified
So he tries hiring two undercover agents, gets busted.
We went into detail about a couple of the other angles, but you specifically were reporting yesterday on Jeffrey Epstein helping start the Clinton Foundation.
unidentified
What was that all about?
Yeah, that's according to Maxwell with, you know, take her word with a grain of salt.
I did catch her in several lies, but she claims that, you know, I think this is in the early 2000s.
unidentified
She's telling Bill Clinton, like, you need your own Davos.
She's referencing the World Economic Forum, the meeting where all the elites gather once a year.
She said, Bill, you need to do this yourself.
And she also says that Jeffrey Epstein donated money to help get that operation running.
You know, we all know the Clinton Foundation ended up being a conduit for the Clintons receiving donations in exchange for political favors.
Adding intrigue to this is the recent FBI document showing that the FBI had the goods on the Clinton Foundation in 2015, all the corruption evidence, but the DOJ stifled that investigation and chose to pursue Russia Gate instead, which is, you know, a whole nother thread we could tug on.
I know it's a lot and you seem to do a great job at making it very simple for our audience and myself to even understand.
unidentified
So thank you for all the incredible work you continue to do.
Folks, a lot going on in the state of Florida.
I don't know if you're aware, but the LGBT plus whatever community, they're not very happy with Governor Ron DeSanchez because their murals are getting painted over.
Specifically, this judge, Obama-appointed judge, shutting down Alcarez.
unidentified
As many of us know, this was like a great thing.
Algaraz was like one of the prop, the top things that the Trump administration was pushing out there.
And it's really unfortunate, right, that we have these judges who are overstepping and trying to shut down their agenda.
Obviously, the Trump administration is going to appeal this, but break down the latest in regards to her ruling.
Yeah, essentially what they're doing is just looking for any ridiculous reason that they can put on paper that sounds okay to shut this down, such as environmental issues.
I've done a lot of work helping protect waterways going into the Everglades, but you have to keep in mind that this alligator Alcatraz has been built on a piece of land that's already been there as an airport.
So it's not like they're knocking down trees in the Everglades or injecting our waters with chemicals.
Sure, you got more humans moving in and out, I guess.
But at the end of the day, this is simply just them looking for any ridiculous reason to cover their own butts in blocking this because obviously we can't let President Donald Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis be successful in deporting illegal aliens.
Yeah, and they're looking to also expand these efforts and build more of these take-in sites all around the state of Florida.
And so I'd imagine that's probably another reason why she's trying to slow down their momentum.
Has the Trump administration or Governor Ron DeSantis commented on this thus far?
Yeah, from all signs that Governor Ron DeSantis is going to appeal this, is going to take it to the higher court.
This is why we have such a great system here in America where if you get one ridiculous judge, you can take it to the higher court to get an actual real ruling.
So I don't expect Florida to stop Alligator Alcatraz anytime soon.
I'd be shocked if they did, maybe pause, maybe, but I think they're going to keep going.
We did so up in Northeast Florida, I believe it was, and it's deportation depot.
unidentified
So they go from Home Depot to Deportation Depot and then on the first plane back to wherever they came from.
It's so crazy because we're not talking about they're just going after just moms and children.
They're looking to deport them.
They're literally going after the worst of the worst.
And I believe the last Titan I saw was like 70% of these individuals they're deporting have criminal backgrounds or they're currently being charged with a crime in this country.
And so obviously these are people that we don't want in this country because they are either violent or they're just criminals.
I mean, anyone who comes into our country legally is a criminal.
And for some reason, Democrats just can't get that through their heads.
So we'll continue to follow that as it unravels.
But there's also another topic that's gaining national coverage because Texas kind of led the way on all of this by redrawing their congressional maps.
And now Florida is looking to get their hands in this as well.
They're looking to redraw those maps.
And Democrats aren't very happy with this.
Of course, they're using the normal, oh, this is an attack on our democracy narrative.
But what is Florida currently looking at when it comes to redrawing those maps before the midterms?
Yeah, I believe you got one, maybe two more extra seats you can get out of Florida because I would argue that it was gerrymandered against the Republicans.
And as great as our maps were, we could still do better.
Let's talk about the LGBTQ pride crosswalks that are all over the state.
unidentified
I know in Delaray Beach, I cover the crosswalk there and how they were looking to even send a kid who did a burnout on the crosswalk to prison for a year.
It's absurd.
That was Palm Beach County.
But, you know, now we have the government stepping in, local government stepping in, the state specifically saying that there's new requirements regarding that.
You can't use state funds to do things like this.
And now we see that the Florida Department of Transportation is painting over a lot of these murals.
And it's got folks in Orlando a little upset.
What are you hearing?
You know, it's Florida's message is pretty clear.
Our roadways are for transportation and not political ideology and messaging.
We all pay for these roads, whether we live in Orlando or not.
They were put in jail for doing a burnout in a road.
Like at the very worst, that should be a ticket, right?
A traffic infraction.
unidentified
Yeah.
The left care more about silencing people that are against this radical trans agenda than they do in putting rapists behind bars and deport and deporting them out of our nation when they're not supposed to be here.
That just goes to show you how crazy they are and why you're seeing such a crazy shift.
You can tie all of our stories together that we just talked about in the last few minutes.
I mean, they have these crazy ideas that are pushing so many normal people in the middle that just work nine to five, don't really pay attention to the right because they just don't stand for this ridiculousness, such as protecting illegal aliens and such as this radical agenda with telling boys can be girls.
So we're getting the exact reaction we expect from the Democrats.
Florida Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith, who is basically our own version of AOC here in the state of Florida, lost his mind, went super viral about just how this is just an attack on democracy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And you know what happens when we share that and expose that stuff?
You see more people shift to the right.
And then we can get more congressional seats for the GOP because we have more registered Republicans than Democrats for the first time ever in Florida history.
And this is a model that I encourage the rest of America to continue to follow.
All right, folks, when it comes to organ harvesting, this was a deeply concerning topic.
And under the Biden administration, it looks like they were actually promoting it with their policy, the regime's increase that they were looking to push on or get transplant access model.
Now, that was a mandated program that just recently took effect in July of 2025.
Well, America First Legal is looking to go over it and sift through all these documents.
They just recently submitted a FOIA request and they're looking to review because there's a lot of people who are speculating about this right now and have a lot of allegations about the program that it in fact incentivizes hospitals to booster their organ procedures.
unidentified
Now, obviously, folks, we know that's extremely, extremely dangerous, and there should never be any financial gain in organ harvesting.
And RFK Jr. talking about it on Newsmax just a few weeks ago, specifically outlining one case that he heard about.
And that case, specifically saying that a patient who was having their organs donated, woke up from the procedure, was quickly brought to the hospital where they later died.
Obviously, that is completely disturbing.
America First Legal is looking to dive into that and we'll bring you an update when they get their FOIA requests back.
All right, folks, that does it for me on this beautiful morning.
