	The silent majority is no longer silent.
	This is The War Room with Owen Schroyer.
	Please stand by for further details.
	We return you now to your regularly scheduled program.
	All right!
	All right!
	Ladies and gentlemen, it is Thursday.
	It's the War Room with Owen Schroyer.
	July 17th, 2025, this is the InfoWars War Room, the fastest three hours on the internet.
	Starts now.
	I'm your host, Owen Schroyer.
	Let me tell you what we have coming up for you today.
	Now, I've got a rather short stack of the Epstein stuff.
	And I don't know, maybe we're sick of it.
	Maybe we're not.
	It's still the top story.
	It's still the top trend.
	But there's some other ripples we're going to look into today.
	And then really the big news would have to be the statements from Press Secretary Caroline Levitt today answering some of these questions and then going against some of some other White House or D.C. Trump administration involved people that were giving out bad intel to people in the media.
	And now she's having to run back to the podium to try to correct all of that today.
	And so the whole thing is just a mess.
	And it's about to get worse.
	It's about to get worse.
	And I'll leave it at that for now.
	But I told you yesterday that today's story was going to be Trump's health problems.
	And now you see it.
	So I'm telling you, today, it could happen as soon as tonight.
	But now the next big story is going to be new Trump-Epstein connections.
	So, you know, Trump did this to himself.
	And it's not even about, let's say, Epstein hooking him up with some hot 20-year-old 40 years ago.
	It's the fact that he came out and insulted his base and said it was a hoax.
	And so the whole thing is just crazy.
	And I don't want to get into all of it now.
	We'll get into it coming up, but it's just going to get worse.
	So told you the hell story would pop today.
	It could be as soon as tonight, could be tomorrow, could be next week.
	There'll be another Epstein story.
	And they're running around trying to cover your ass right now.
	And they're running around telling all these different people different things.
	Folks, they can't even get their messaging straight.
	And the whole thing is just totally out of control.
	Just completely out of control.
	So we'll analyze all of that.
	But we do have other news.
	I got a big stack over here with some geopolitical news.
	And really, Israel is making a mockery of Donald Trump at this point.
	They're making a mockery of Donald Trump.
	They're making a mockery of this White House.
	And they're basically just flipping America the middle finger and saying there's nothing you can do about it.
	We own you and we have no respect for you.
	And then they say that, and then Donald Trump does exactly what they want.
	And then they do whatever they want.
	And then you're told you're winning.
	It's not good.
	So we'll have updates on that.
	And then another Trump policy from yesterday that looks like a swing and a miss that was supposed to be, you know, some, I guess, some minor victory we thought.
	It looks like that's just going to be another swing and a miss.
	Now, the problem is you're not going after the deep state.
	Oh, we got Maureen Comey.
	Yeah, after she did the cover-up.
	She did her job.
	Maureen Comey covered up the Maxwell case, the Epstein case, and the Diddy case.
	And then she's fired.
	Oh, perfect.
	Way to go.
	Good job, Maureen.
	Congratulations.
	Now, retire.
	And then we can take a look at how bad the economy has gotten.
	And that's not something that's just on Trump.
	That's something that's been going on for our entire lives.
	But when you look at it by the numbers, it's quite shocking.
	And when you go back in time and you look at how much things used to cost and affordability compared to now, it's definitely shocking.
	And then you got the Democrats stealing money with the high-speed rail.
	Oh, we're going to shut it down.
	No, you need to be launching investigations where the hundreds of millions of dollars went.
	So they say, well, we sent a bunch of money to California for a high-speed rail.
	They haven't laid a single rail, so we're canceling the project.
	Okay, that's good.
	Now, how about a criminal investigation?
	You know?
	Now, how about a criminal investigation?
	Well lived by the Epstein Files.
	Died by the Epstein Files.
	And right now, Right now, it is a painful death.
	Not a slow death either.
	It is moving at light speed, ladies and gentlemen, and it's about to get worse.
	And just so you understand, you tuned in yesterday, and I actually shot a report on it before I went on air.
	And then I told you on air, I said, the next big story to drop is going to be about Trump's health.
	And then it dropped today, and then the White House had to address it, and we'll get those comments coming up.
	So, just understand you're getting the true DC insider information here.
	And you can only imagine the rumors that are going around D.C. right now, going around the House, going around the Senate, going around the media, dealing with this Epstein stuff.
	And perhaps just for a better understanding, you know, most people in D.C., when you reach a certain point in media, you know, yeah, you might be right, you might be left, maybe like Democrats, Republicans, whatever, but you kind of reach a certain point where your political leanings don't even matter, and you're just trying to get to the bottom of a story.
	And so, I mean, let's say it like this, even the Trump-friendly media that runs around DC and has access to the White House, even their ears are perked on this Epstein stuff.
	And I mean, this is why you're hearing about all of these different agencies closing their press rooms.
	Notice how silent Dan Ratcliffe is.
	Notice how Tulsi Gabbard has been pretty much completely sidelined.
	These things are all connected.
	But you can only imagine the rumors going around in D.C. right now.
	Now, I'm not going to report to you the rumors, but I am going to tell you this.
	Just like I told you the health story would drop today.
	There's going to be new Trump-Epstein connections.
	Now, some of it's going to be like old recycled news that was really never a big deal at the time.
	And I think Trump is trying to protect his family to a certain extent.
	I'll leave it at that for now.
	But would you be surprised if Epstein introduced some young ladies to Donald Trump to go hang out at Mar-a-Lago?
	And by young, I mean 20s, let's be clear.
	Would that surprise anybody?
	Would it really matter that much?
	Well, they're going to dig in, folks.
	They're going to find every connection.
	They're going to find every old story.
	They're going to try to tie in as many members of the Trump family as they can.
	These stories could start dropping as soon as tonight, but by sometime next week, you're going to start seeing this stuff.
	And there's just no going back now.
	There's no going back now.
	And it's like I explained yesterday where it didn't have to be this way.
	And you can even use the divorce analogy because it's very fitting.
	You go through a divorce with your wife and everybody knows stuff, nasty stuff comes out.
	And when it's, you know, public stuff or high-profile stuff, it's like, yeah, you get skeletons fall out of that closet.
	It gets nasty.
	And so that's what this is like.
	Trump said he's done with us.
	And so he's declared a divorce.
	And so now we're going through the divorce proceedings.
	And it's like, well, okay.
	Believe me, a lot of the people that are going to be reporting this stuff are not anti-Trump folks.
	They're not Democrats.
	But Trump said, shut up.
	I'm over you.
	Quit talking about it.
	So, yeah, they're going to dig in and find everything now.
	And it is the mother of all Strideshand effects.
	And they know, even if they dig up stories from the 80s or 90s, and it's not even stuff that's illegal, and they put it into a story and they make these connections, it's going to be huge.
	So that's where it's going to go next.
	It could happen tonight, tomorrow, next week, but it's happened.
	And it's going to get so bad because it's going to reach this point where Trump just can't declare ignorance anymore.
	You know, this whole act like, oh, Epstein had no influence or nobody knew him or he was a loser or I didn't know him, it's going to become undeniable now.
	And it didn't have to be this way.
	You divorced us.
	You wanted it to get nasty.
	And so when I close out the show with that rant, we ram heads.
	And so you rammed heads with us.
	And you really underestimated it.
	And I think that that's a major factor here because I look at the angle of the White House and I look at the angle of Trump specifically.
	Is it incompetence?
	Because what are the odds?
	Is it a coincidence?
	Is it incompetence?
	Is it a cover-up?
	What are the odds that Trump surrounds himself with all of these people that are connected to the Epstein case?
	What are the odds?
	He's got Bill Barr in there.
	He's got Kavanaugh.
	He's got Acosta.
	He's got Lutnik.
	Maybe more.
	What are the odds?
	Is that a coincidence?
	Is that a cover-up?
	What are the odds?
	And it's all happened in his administration.
	And it kind of got skipped over.
	But when he told the media from the White House that Epstein, that it was all under Biden, that's just wrong.
	So, okay.
	So why is Trump trying to convince the American people that all of this happened under Biden when Epstein was rebrought in in the first Trump administration and killed himself in prison, right?
	In the first Trump administration.
	And then he tells the media from the Oval Office yesterday: no, that happened in the Biden administration.
	Well, no, it didn't.
	Are you having a Biden brain problem?
	Or are you lying?
	Or are you lying?
	But it kind of hit me as I'm watching this play out.
	Because now it's going to become this issue of if you don't come out and demand that the Epstein files be released, then people are just going to assume you're somehow complicit or a part of it.
	And aside from the obvious angle that people are trying to distract from and cover up, which is the intelligence asset, specifically Massad and Maxwell.
	The other phenomenon here is, and maybe this is where Trump is getting it wrong, but where I see kind of the old guard Republican media, the old guard conservative media is totally getting it wrong.
	And it hit me when I saw this yesterday from Riley Gaines.
	Now, Riley Gaines is the female swimmer who lost to the 6'3 male, Leah Thomas, formerly Billy Thomas or something from Austin, Texas, but couldn't compete against men in college.
	Used to swim here in Austin in high school.
	Couldn't compete against men in college.
	So decided to say, oh, I'm a woman.
	I'm going to compete against woman.
	Breaks the NCAA records, beats Riley Gaines.
	So Riley Gaines comes out and stands against it, takes a stand, becomes a hero on the right wing, becomes a big tool for Republicans in election cycles to stand against men and women's sports.
	And now she's cemented.
	She's a hero.
	She is cemented in the right wing as a media figure, as even a heroic figure.
	And this is a young girl, probably like 24, 25.
	And so she's coming out and she says this yesterday.
	Was it stupid and foolish when Trump campaigned on releasing the files?
	Are Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, Dan Bagino, and Alina Haba all foolish and stupid for peddling this for the past six months?
	Why on earth is he doing this?
	So Riley Gaines coming out against the Epstein cover-up.
	And then I see she's getting attacked.
	They're attacking her.
	Oh, how dare you against Trump?
	Oh, you betray MAGA, all this other stuff.
	And it hit me as I'm watching this.
	And again, I'm not making a blanket statement here.
	I'm not making a blanket statement about an entire group of people.
	I don't do the generational warfare thing, but I can make fair observations.
	And so it hit me because it's one thing when you're just getting attacked and it's just like, okay, it's just all, you know, front-facing attack on you.
	But then you see other people getting attacked and you're like, well, wait a second, what do we all have in common?
	What are the people attacking them have in common?
	And so it hit me, the old guard Republican establishment, the conservative incorporated, as it's been called, they really thought that they could use the younger generations, and we're talking maybe 50 and older, 60 and older, the old guard.
	If you want to go generationally, like boomer generation, again, not making a blanket statement.
	But what I noticed was it's the old guard conservative establishment, probably mostly above 50 years old, above 60 years old.
	And they wanted to use people like Riley Gaines in an election cycle for the Republicans to get power.
	But now that the Republicans are in power and now that Riley Gaines has a huge following and a huge platform and big influence and has opinions and thoughts on politics, now they're saying we're not interested in your opinion.
	Yeah, we built you up and we used your testimony and your likeness to help Republicans win and get legislation passed, but we don't want to hear from you anymore.
	We don't want to hear about you or the Epstein files or your opinions on anything.
	Now, I'm using Riley as an example, but this is the case for many such people.
	Maybe to a lesser extent me, because I didn't really get indoctrinated into mainstream conservatism like she did.
	But it's still the same phenomenon.
	Well, you can't do that.
	And Riley was younger, probably like 10 years younger than me.
	But they have this idea at the top, the old guard, the older generation, Republicans, conservatives, they have this idea that they can just now push us back to the kiddie table and say, you're not really a serious person.
	Go back to the kiddie table.
	We don't want to hear from you anymore.
	We still run the show.
	And we're saying, not so fast.
	Not so fast.
	No, we do get a seat at the table.
	We have come of age.
	And maybe this is what you haven't realized yet.
	We're in control of the new media.
	You can't bury us.
	You can't tell us to go to the kiddie table and shut up and say the adults are talking.
	No, can't do that.
	And you can't bury us because we are in control of the new media now.
	And I even think they fall for their own propaganda to an extent and they just think, well, we still run Fox News and we still own Fox News.
	You know, Riley Gaines was a regular guest on Fox News.
	And I know exactly what you're doing over there at Fox News.
	I've talked about it before.
	I'm not going to go into it.
	But they still believe it's just like, well, whatever we give him on Fox News, that'll control the narrative.
	Whatever we don't give him on Fox News, that'll get buried.
	You're wrong.
	And I guess Trump and the old guard Republicans telling you to get over the sepsis thing, I guess they just haven't realized it yet.
	It just hasn't hit them yet.
	So you can tell Riley Gaines, oh, go back to the kiddie table.
	The adults are talking and think you can bury her.
	You can't.
	You can't do it to Riley Gaines.
	You can't do it to Owen Schroyer.
	You can try to do it to Charlie Kirk, but he's not going to be able to keep that beach ball underwater.
	You just can't.
	We've come of age.
	We have a seat at the table.
	And I think more importantly than getting into maybe the infighting angle would be to say this.
	Why is the Epstein list so important to us?
	Why is it an issue that we won't stop talking about?
	Because we believe, and really there's no pushback on this, which shows you how the whole thing is a cover-up, quite frankly.
	But there's no pushback here.
	We believe the government is corrupt.
	We believe the centralized power in our establishment institutions is corrupt.
	Virtually the entire establishment power structure, we believe, is corrupt.
	Now, we don't get any pushback there.
	That seems to be a general understanding.
	But to look at it through a specific lens or a specific issue like the Epstein list, we believe that full disclosure and full exposure of the Epstein list, the Epstein clients and everything else they were up to, will be like pulling the thread that will eventually unravel all the political corruption.
	So that's why we can't let it go.
	And maybe to even take it to another level.
	And this is where people do kind of get into generational warfare with it.
	Younger people are saying, look at what the boomers have left us.
	Look at what you've left us.
	You've left us massive debt.
	You've left us an entrenched military-industrial complex.
	You have left us a complete disaster of a country that you inherited that we're now trying to fix.
	And it ties into other issues where there's the generational gap like foreign aid and Israel.
	But we're sitting here saying, you have left us a mess of a country.
	And we don't want to leave that for our lineage.
	We don't want to leave that for future generations.
	And we believe the Epstein list pulling that thread is part of the process of getting things back in the right direction, getting our government back under our control for the people and stopping all of the sordid corruption in what we believe is the most powerful,
	influential establishment institutions with all the centralized power and influence in our country, blackmailed, run by blackmailed perverts and financial criminals.
	So you're not going to tell us to shut up about it.
	And we're not going to shut up about it.
	So yeah, the younger people, we don't want in your wars that you're going to leave us anymore.
	The younger people, we don't want to be entrapped in these foreign aid fraud schemes that you're trying to leave us.
	We don't want to be left with a foreign policy dictated by a foreign country.
	And we don't want to be left with a system run by blackmailed perverts and financial criminals.
	And no matter how many times you ask us to stop talking about the Epstein list, it's not going to happen because we correlate that to exactly what it is we're trying to fix.
	Now, when we come back from the break, I'm going to play the clips of Caroline Levitt today at the White House.
	But now it's going to become a much bigger issue for Trump personally.
	It's going to become a much bigger issue for Republicans and conservatives, whether you're in politics or media, because this thing is only getting more out of control.
	And people are going to start coming out and start saying things just to clear their names or just to say, I have integrity.
	I have reputational standards I want to adhere to.
	I will not stop talking about the Epstein list.
	Or I'm a politician.
	I'm running for office again.
	I know it's popular to come out and ask for the Epstein list.
	So I, as a member of Congress, Democrat or Republican, I'm going to say, release the list.
	So this thing is just going to get worse.
	And then, I mean, you can try to make Bondi the fall person on this, but it ain't going to work.
	That's not going to work.
	And the whole thing is such a mess that they've got different people.
	They can't even get their messaging straight.
	And that's what happens when you lie.
	They've spun a web of lies with this Epstein cover-up.
	And now they can't even get their story straight.
	So they've got one White House spokesperson going over here and saying one thing, another White House spokesperson going over here and saying another thing to try to do damage control.
	And then it gets right back to Donald Trump and he says, nope, not doing it.
	Not doing the Epstein stuff.
	Shut up.
	Now, is President Trump protecting himself?
	Is he protecting people around him?
	Is he protecting people in his administration?
	Is he protecting friends of his, family of his?
	Well, you might get a better idea of that soon.
	You might get a better idea of that.
	And it didn't have to go there.
	But he filed for the divorce the other day.
	And so now you're going through divorce proceedings.
	So today it was the hell story, as I told you.
	It's going to be Epstein stuff.
	Like I said, it might drop before I'm even off air.
	So if anything happens, I'm sure they'll put it up on Drudge.
	But the crew will pull it up.
	It could happen before I'm even off.
	But now, I mean, folks, they're so in deep now.
	The FBI is virtually paralyzed.
	And luckily, you do have good people there that are actually doing real operations and real cop work and busting up pedophile rings and other such criminal stuff that's going on.
	That is happening.
	But at the top, it's just full damage control now.
	And they're trying to stop stories from getting out.
	And they're trying to negotiate other deals for personal benefits.
	And I still think Bongino is probably just soul searching.
	He doesn't even know what to do.
	He probably does know what to do, but it's like he knows if he leaves, he embarrasses Trump and the White House.
	He knows if he stays, he embarrasses himself.
	So it's really sad to see it go south so fast.
	And this hubris pretending like you can move on without MAGA, without Trump's base from 2015, is just hilarious.
	Trump doesn't have to win reelection, so he probably doesn't even care.
	He's got other motives.
	But this will cost the Republicans the midterms at this rate.
	And the powerful political coalition that we called MAGA is going through divorce proceedings now with Trump.
	And it's getting nasty.
	And if you think all these newcomer MAGAs, if you think they're going to be in the streets for you and fighting for you, you've got another thing coming, Jack.
	Making talk radio great again.
	This is The War Room with Owen Troyer.
	You know, I'm always seeing these comments and we have fun in the break sometimes with the great crew.
	Oh Oh, and you're going to be wrong.
	Trump's playing 30D chess.
	Trump's got him in a trap.
	You know, we have a good laugh.
	And I will be so happy if that happens.
	And all the people that are saying, Schroer sold out, fake MAGA.
	Trump's got him in a trap.
	He was playing them the whole time.
	It's Q. I don't even care if you want to gloat and rub it in my face.
	I will gladly eat the crow.
	I will be so happy.
	So, you know, have your little victory lapse prematurely if you want.
	I'll be thrilled if that happens.
	I'll be so happy to be wrong if that happens.
	But I doubt you'll have so much humility when it doesn't.
	So it looks like it's already getting out there, folks.
	Sean Spicer, Mark Alperin, blockbuster Trump Epstein expose, reportedly imminent.
	I don't think Trump was doing anything illegal, but this is going to implicate Trump, maybe his family, and maybe members of his administration.
	And again, who knows?
	You meet Epstein at a golf club or something, and he's got some beautiful women there.
	And you're like, oh, hey, you know, she's single?
	Yeah.
	Like, wow, that's a 23-year-old blonde beauty right there.
	She's single?
	Like, yes, she is.
	Like, oh, would you guys like to come to my club next week?
	Sure.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Oh, get on an airplane.
	Go down to the club.
	And now you have a Dershowitz.
	I'm like 50-50 on even to get into the Dershowitz angle because it's like, on one hand, I give him credit if you trust him.
	But on one hand, I give him credit because he's being very transparent about stuff.
	But then on another hand, you look into some of the other involvement, some of the other things he's done, and you're saying, well, wait a second now.
	Thank you.
	So this was the White House, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, answering some of these questions.
	First, let's go right into the Epstein case.
	Will there be a special prosecutor, a special counsel?
	Clip 12.
	Well, the idea was floated from someone in the media to the president.
	The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case.
	That's how he feels.
	And as for his discussions with the Attorney General, I'm not sure.
	Deanna.
	Sure.
	Thank you.
	She's not sure.
	Well, nobody's really sure about the Attorney General at this point.
	So let me explain.
	Let me translate.
	This thing is such a mess.
	And, you know, you can't blame Trump for everything.
	He's still the president.
	He's still got to meet with foreign diplomats.
	He's still got to handle other business with his administration.
	So obviously he can't sit here and do the Epstein stuff 24-7.
	But because there was so little coordination on all this, he had surrogates going on media saying, well, there'll be a special counsel.
	He had surrogates giving information to other members of the media saying, oh, yeah, Trump's going to call for the special counsel.
	And then it gets brought to Trump and he says, absolutely not.
	And Caroline Levitt has to go out and correct the record for all of it.
	I start to wonder if Caroline Levitt isn't going to go the way of Gen Saki.
	I'm telling you, folks, look, this isn't fun.
	I want to be here doing victory laps, but this thing is falling apart.
	And yeah, Trump does have some health issues.
	He's 80 years old.
	He's still extremely impressive for an 80-year-old.
	And I think his mental faculties are still on point.
	But I mean, you're 80 years old.
	Maybe Trump needs to take like a weekend or like a week golf trip or something.
	Just go hit the links, President Trump.
	Go play some golf.
	Go out with some of your friends.
	Get away from all of this.
	Clear your head.
	Get back to your instincts.
	Because his instincts are so good.
	His instincts have always been good.
	But then he gets all these people around him manipulating him and feeding him bad information and bad polls and all this other stuff.
	And it's just like, go with your instincts.
	It's like, go with your instincts when you were going after Obama years ago.
	Go with your instincts when you were going after Clinton.
	Go with your instincts on foreign policy in the Middle East.
	It's like your instincts are there every time.
	And when it's just you and you're talking to the media or it's just you and you're talking to the American people, your instincts are right.
	And then you get all these corrupt sons of bitches around you with all their own agendas and they feed you a bunch of lies and propaganda and manipulate you and then everything goes haywire.
	So we told you yesterday the big story today was going to be the health and Caroline Levitt had to address that earlier today in clip 11.
	I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president's hand and also swelling in the president's legs.
	So in the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today.
	In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild swelling in his lower legs.
	In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit.
	The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies.
	Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a b9, and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.
	Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease.
	Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type, natriotic, peptide, and cardiac biomarkers.
	All results were within normal limits.
	An echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function.
	No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.
	Additionally, recent photos of the president have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand.
	This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen.
	This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy, and the president remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here.
	So the president.
	So there you go.
	Never doubt me, folks.
	Now, the next statement from White House Press Secretary Caroline will take us in a different direction.
	And it'll lead me into this stack of geopolitical news.
	But you have to wonder why, and maybe it does tie into the Epstein stuff, because maybe the Israelis are the only ones with the actual blackmail and files now.
	Because if Trump is claiming, if it's true, that the Democrats altered the files, well, then that's a crime.
	And so there should be criminal investigations and prosecutions.
	But notice how nobody's calling for that.
	Nobody's doing that.
	Is that because Pam Bandi is worthless or because you're lying?
	Israel has attacked multiple Christian holy sites in this current five-front war that they're launching against all of their neighbors, including recently attacking a Catholic church and killing multiple people.
	So Israel is just embarrassing this entire administration.
	They're just dogwalking them, showing America that this administration is Israel's bitch.
	So Levitt had to address this in clip 13.
	Good afternoon, Caroline.
	In Gaza today, Holy Family Catholic Church was struck by an Israeli shell.
	Yes.
	Three people were killed, 10 wounded.
	What is the president's reaction to that church coming under fire?
	It was not a positive reaction.
	He called Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning to address the strikes on that church in Gaza.
	And I understand the Prime Minister agreed to put out a statement.
	It was a mistake by the Israelis to hit that Catholic church.
	That's what the Prime Minister relayed to the president.
	And you should look at the Prime Minister's statement.
	It was a mistake.
	Now, supposedly, this was hit by a tank, multiple rounds from a tank.
	Now, I've never operated a tank in real life.
	So I can't say I'm the expert here.
	You know, I have played a few games like Call of Duty or some such where you can operate a tank.
	But I don't know.
	Is that really a mistake to point your barrel at a church and then hit fire multiple times?
	It's like, oops, I don't know what's happening.
	I have no idea what's going on.
	It's all a mistake.
	Boom.
	Oh, accidental.
	Boom.
	Oh, my.
	Israel says it was just a mistake.
	It was just a mistake.
	Oh, they're bombing Damascus, a holy site for Christians.
	Oh, they're bombing Catholic church.
	Oh, they're attacking.
	It's Just a joke.
	But it's actually even worse because two days ago, I guess Israel is telling the White House or Trump, they're like, hey, we're about to bomb five countries here and we're about to expand.
	So I guess they're telling Trump this, and now you can kind of see all the pieces falling into place.
	I don't know, maybe Trump's a part of it, but I think they're calling the White House and they're saying, hey, we're about to take land in the West Bank.
	We're about to take the whole Gaza Strip.
	We're going to take this major land in Syria.
	We're hoping to get something from Jordan, something from Lebanon, you know, maybe with some regime change in Iran, eventually use that for our agenda as well.
	So Rubio or Trump himself is saying, hey, you need to knock it off.
	You're embarrassing us.
	You're not bringing peace to the world.
	You're hurting yourselves on the world stage.
	You need to stop.
	And now we're seeing the whole Syria agenda and how they basically just took over, Israel's tried to conquer Syria so they can move all the Palestinians over there and then take the Gaza Strip.
	Same with the West Bank.
	So that's all it was about.
	They wanted to topple Syria, put their controlled opposition in there, and then eventually take the land to resettle everybody out of the land that they're about to take.
	But so they had this conversation two days ago, and the White House specifically said to Israel, stop it, knock it off, stop all the bombing, stop all the killing.
	This was two days ago.
	U.S. asks Israel to stop airstrikes on Syrian forces, stop attacking South Syria.
	Israel bombs Syrian capital despite U.S. pressure to stand down.
	So they just blatantly said, no, thank you.
	Greatest ally.
	That's the divorce.
	Imagine that.
	Trump could have divorced from the greatest evil force in the world right now, the Netanyahu Israel-led government.
	And instead he divorced with MAGA.
	Israel bombards Syria's Damascus, as U.S. says, to stop violence.
	And it was their impression that Israel agreed that they would stop the violence.
	And now they're just killing hundreds, hundreds in Syria, hundreds in Jordan and Lebanon, and tens of thousands in the Gaza Strip.
	It'll never end.
	Killing Christians.
	The Trump administration begs, like, can you just stop the killing, please?
	Can you just take a break from the bloodshed, please?
	Say, oh, yeah, sure.
	And then 24 hours later, bomb, bomb a Catholic church, bomb Damascus, kill more Christians.
	They killed an American.
	Yeah.
	Rubio says, U.S. very concerned over Syria violence.
	Trump administration tried to stop Israeli strikes and it failed.
	And they're trying to run this propaganda too where they're showing an image.
	It's amazing.
	And look, there's all kinds of propaganda that come out of that region.
	Okay.
	That's why I try not, I like don't even show most of the stuff.
	I don't show most of the stuff that's going on in Gaza and all the other videos.
	And I don't show other stuff because I don't know what's real and what's not.
	And some of it's been proven fake, like the fake AI burned up babies.
	And then there's other videos where it shows people that are dead and then they start moving around smoking a cigarette.
	So I just don't even show this stuff.
	But I saw one propaganda campaign where they're trying to pretend like the church wasn't completely destroyed.
	And this is how you know it got hit with multiple rounds.
	So there was a first strike on this church that didn't completely destroy it.
	So all the pro-Israel accounts are sharing this image of the church with a little couple bricks missing.
	And they say, oh, it's a lie.
	Nobody destroyed a church.
	Well, that's propaganda.
	They're showing you an image before the second strikes.
	Oh, it's an accident.
	Strike it again.
	So, no, this is the actual result right here.
	And there's other images.
	The actual result is, no, you destroyed the church and you killed multiple people inside and you did it on purpose.
	You're dirty rotten liars.
	You're disgusting.
	And it's disgusting this administration continues to support it.
	But you know what's amazing?
	The cross is the only thing standing in the aftermath.
	The IDF tried to completely destroy a church, killed multiple people inside, said it was an accident.
	The only thing standing was the cross.
	The only thing standing was the cross.
	And you know what?
	Maybe that wasn't such an accident from the Almighty.
	Little reminder.
	Cardinal Pisabala, what we know for sure is that a tank, the IDF says by mistake, but we're not sure about this, hit the church directly, the church of the Holy Family, the Latin Church.
	Yeah, everybody knows they did it on purpose.
	It was no mistake, folks.
	They're lying.
	They're dirty rotten liars.
	They're killers and liars.
	Pope Leo put out this statement.
	His Holiness, Pope Leo, was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.
	This is another church they attacked.
	And he assures the parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli, and the whole parish community of his spiritual closeness in commending the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, the Holy Father prays for the consolation of those who grieve and for their recovery of the injured.
	His Holiness renews his call for an immediate ceasefire, and he expresses his profound hope for dialogue, reconciliation, and enduring peace in the region.
	It just so happens this church in Gaza, the last pope used to call every day and pray because obviously Israel basically just destroying the entire region.
	So Pope Francis would call them every day and pray with them that the IDF Would not destroy their church and kill their people.
	Well, now they have.
	Now, let's go.
	And now Israel is going back for Iran.
	New assessment finds American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites.
	Oh, yeah, where do you think they're getting that intelligence, guys?
	You think that's the CIA in there?
	Israel is preparing to bomb Iran again.
	Well, they have to.
	We didn't destroy the nuclear site.
	Don't you know?
	So, you know, I don't know if you can say the same thing about this Trump-Epstein thing, but I think I'm 99.9 why Trump is saying stop talking about the nuclear sites because he's like, hey, we need peace.
	If we say the nuclear site wasn't destroyed, then Israel's going to come in and start bombing and start the war again and ask us to bomb again.
	So just say it was destroyed.
	Just leave it alone.
	Let it go.
	So I get that.
	But now it's Israeli intelligence and it's everybody that wants regime change in Iran and just the Israelis that just can't ever get enough blood.
	So, oh, we didn't destroy the sites.
	We need to go back in.
	And then they'll play the exact same game and they'll say, oh, no, no, no, no.
	Don't worry.
	We can do it on our own.
	And then there'll be some strikes back and forth.
	And then Israel will come over and call the president and say, yeah, go bomb.
	Go bomb for us.
	Go bomb right now.
	And the president will have no choice.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	Take your guess.
	And we're spread so thin all over the world.
	U.S. military trains to defend Panama Canal from China threat.
	So they're concerned they might have to fight for the Panama Canal with China now.
	I've been telling you folks, the world doesn't look at Trump the same.
	They don't fear Trump anymore.
	They don't take Trump seriously anymore.
	I'm not even sure how much they respect Trump anymore, to be honest.
	This isn't the first term.
	And they see Netanyahu making Trump his bitch.
	They see Trump talking a big game, but the military has spread so thin, he doesn't even know what to do.
	He's talking a big game all around the world, but he can't fight all these fights at once.
	So China's like, oh, maybe we take back the Panama Canal.
	Russia's like, oh, maybe we go into Kiev.
	Kiev.
	Even Brazil.
	Brazil's president, Lula, says Trump was not elected to be emperor of the world as U.S.-Brazil spat escalates.
	What a sad turn of events.
	What a sad turn of events.
	Can't even get Mexico.
	Can't even get Shinebomb in Mexico to work with him.
	Mexico considering legal action against ICE.
	They're saying, oh, ICE is killing a bunch of these people.
	Well, first of all, the specific incident they're talking about happened at that pot farm.
	The guy jumped off a roof.
	He jumped off a building running from ICE.
	So ICE shows up for law enforcement.
	He jumps off a building.
	And Mexico is going to sue ICE?
	How about we sue you?
	How about we sue you for the invasion?
	How about we sue you for all the cartel activity?
	But see, this is just all signs, folks.
	Nobody's taking Trump as seriously as they once did.
	Nobody.
	And his big mouth isn't reverberating and making the noise that it used to.
	And they know at the end of the day, the foreign policy is going to be so caught up in Israel's desires that there's really nothing else that they can do.
	They're hollowing out our military for Ukraine.
	It's just a joke.
	It's all falling apart.
	And they keep detaining citizens with these ICE raids.
	Army veteran detained by ICE and California Farm Raid speaks out.
	You know, here's the problem.
	You know, we're for the raids and we're for deporting illegal aliens.
	And if you want to be aggressive about it, then you go after the real bad guys.
	You go after the real criminals in an aggressive fashion.
	But what's really going on is, you know, the Trump administration talks a big game and big victories, but behind the scenes, folks, they're desperate.
	They're desperate.
	They know the approval ratings are going down.
	They know MAGA is feeling disenfranchised.
	And all the propaganda and digital influence campaigns, it's not working.
	It's just not working.
	They totally underestimated the power of the original MAGA, the original Trump space, Infowars audience, however you want to put it.
	So they need wins.
	And the mass deportations is like they figured the easiest win for them.
	They can't even, it's like a struggle just to do Doge cuts.
	They can't even do, they can't even get basic doge cuts.
	So they need wins.
	So it's just like, oh yeah, all out raids, like force, show of force, cameras, like make sure everybody sees it.
	We want this show of force on these raids.
	And they run into this pot farm.
	Kids run around.
	Guys jumping off roofs.
	Guy dies.
	It's all compensation for what is a failing administration pretending to be having all these victories.
	And this is what's ironic about it is if you want to do show of force raids, hey, we all want the deportations.
	We all want the bad guys.
	The criminals gone.
	If you want to get a win from a show of force raid, because you blew this one, there's another loss.
	Totally bad optics.
	Again, I support the deportations, but you lost in the optics war.
	And it didn't even give you much of a polling boost, if any at all.
	If you want to do show of force raids and you want to save this administration right now, at least in the short term, and you want to get a polling boost and declare a victory, You need to start doing raids on the deep state.
	You need to start doing raids on Epstein's clients.
	You need to start doing raids on the people that deleted the January 6th evidence and ran the January 6th sham committee.
	If you want to do show of force raids to show the American people you're serious, then you need to do it against the Deep State criminals.
	You need to do it to Alejandro Mayorkas.
	You need to do it to the Biden crime family.
	Doing a show of force raids and sending the camera crews out there to capture it thinking it's going to give you a victory and a polling boost when a bunch of kids are running around jumping off roofs ain't going to do it.
	And it didn't work.
	You want to do show of force raids?
	Go after the deep state.
	Go after Mayorkas.
	Go after the Biden crime family.
	The show then digs deeper than the rest.
	Welcome to the War Room with Owen Schroer.
	Music So they just passed a bill in the House, guys, the anti-central bank digital currency bill.
	If you guys could just find a headline for that for me, we're actually going to have a guest coming on who's an expert in this.

	Dana White talking about the UFC America 250 event coming to the White House here in Clip 9.
	So I'm up at my house like every year in Maine, 4th of July.
	And I had text with him three or four times that day, and he never told me he was announcing it.
	And then all of a sudden, my phone just starts blowing up.
	And then I start blowing Lene up and we're all going.
	But we had already done, you know, all the logistics.
	My team went out there and walked it.
	We're putting together the renderings.
	They should be done in the next 10 days.
	And then we're going to fly out to the White House and present it to him, see what he likes and what he doesn't like and start working on it.
	And Ivanka is in the middle of this too.
	So we will, yeah, I'm, you know, this is a sphere, one-of-one, unique event that will never happen again.
	And I will blow the doors off this thing.
	I'm going to make this one of the greatest events of all time.
	And are you thinking a full card, like full prelimps, full main card, or just like a couple fights?
	Nope.
	It'll be a full card, and it will be the best card we've ever done to date.
	Wow.
	And we're talking on the lawn of the White House?
	Yeah, as of right now.
	Can we get Musk Zuckerberg?
	He's set to be on the South Lawn.
	You know, he said we can move it over somewhere else for more people.
	I don't care if five people show up to this thing.
	I want to be on the lawn.
	Okay, so that'll be fun.
	It'll be your gladiatorial event there at the White House, the Bread and Circus.
	Like, yeah, you know, we can't get peace.
	And, you know, who knows if the economy will ever be better or the trade deals will work or if we can get mass deportations or become sovereign from foreign countries and influence again.
	But hey, you know what?
	Hell with all that.
	We're going to have a big fight at the White House.
	Yeah, fight, fight, fight.
	Right?
	Trigger warning.
	This broadcast contains subject matter that may offend liberal snowflakes.
	It's the war room with Owen Schroyer.
	Watch the live stream at band.video.
	Remember when they tried to give us a lollipop yesterday?
	And told us, oh, we'll put real sugar Back in Coke.
	That'll calm the people down.
	Well, this has two ironic twists to it, actually.
	Trump says Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar at his request.
	Well, Coca-Cola came out.
	Coca-Cola defends corn syrup after Trump claims he struck cane sugar deal and says they aren't sure they're actually giving up the high fructose corn syrup for cane sugar yet.
	But we appreciate Trump's enthusiasm for our product.
	So was that even true?
	Just take this as a comedy bit, okay?
	Because it's just, you know what it is.
	It's not Mexican Coke that he's talking about.
	It's not the Mexican Coke.
	It's literally kosher Coke.
	I'm not kidding you.
	You can look it up.
	And if you're Jewish, you probably know what I'm talking about.
	Coke has a kosher product.
	They specifically market it during Jewish holidays like Passover.
	It has a yellow cap on it.
	So it wasn't even the Mexican Coke like people talk about with the real cane sugar in the glass.
	It was the kosher Coke product that gets rid of the products inside of it that people of Jewish faith can't drink on certain holidays.
	So yeah, it was.
	I'm saying comedy, guys.
	Is everything for the Jews?
	Even the Coke gambit?
	It's a joke.
	I mean, the story is true, but even the Coke was for the Jews.
	Come on, man.
	Come on.
	Trump?
	We'd really like the Epstein files.
	Best I can do is Jewish Coke.
	It's best I can do.
	That's pretty good, guys, right?
	That's pretty good.
	Oh, man.
	That's funny.
	What type of Coke do you think Ivanka drinks?
	All right.
	All right.
	That's fun.
	We didn't even finish up with the Netanyahu stuff.
	We want the kosher Coke.
	We want the kosher Coke.
	No, I want the Mexican Coke in the glass bottle.
	And then I want to call it American Coke.
	Just like we renamed the Gulf of America.
	You're going to get kosher Coke.
	You've got Net and Yahoo out here bragging about how they're about to expand Israel into southern Syria.
	So just like people were talking about.
	So you got that going on.
	Very good.
	But where is his kosher coke?
	I'm sorry.
	I can't let it go.
	It's too hilarious.
	Even the lollipop we got yesterday.
	All right.
	Enough with the stop with the kosher coke, guys.
	Stop it.
	That'll be enough.
	At least put it in the glass.
	We want glass.
	Do you ever wonder what happened with glass?
	I guess plastic is more convenient.
	It's also way more toxic.
	Like I saw these stories.
	They said, oh, we did studies, and it turns out glassware has more microplastics than plastic.
	Shut the hell up.
	Oh, yeah, the COVID vaccine is safe and effective, too.
	I mean, it's just like they just lie through these studies.
	So, oh, you're catching on to the microplastics.
	A bunch of different industries probably have self-interest in keeping the microplastic thing buried.
	So they didn't just say, no, no, no, glass is actually worse.
	Where's that headline?
	They're bragging about kosher coke year-round and tiny hats were flying in the air.
	Anyway.
	Whatever happened to glass products?
	Was it like a recycling issue?
	Because I actually admit, I get my raw milk in glass, but I can give that back to the farm and then they just recycle and use the same glassware.
	But I get like my organic raw juice in glass too.
	So I've got like this whole stockpile.
	I've been meaning to take it to the recycling bin of just these glass that I get my raw juice in.
	But you can just recycle it.
	But why did we stop using glass?
	Was it like an industry issue?
	Was it a, like it was just cheaper to use it, more convenient?
	Maybe we need to re-examine that whole decision.
	Maybe we need to re-examine it.
	Or maybe we could find a way.
	If glass was kosher and plastic wasn't, that could be the solution.
	Maybe we could get Trump on it if that's the case.
	All right.
	Speaking of Netanyahu and Mossad's blackmail operation that also doesn't exist.
	And obviously, folks, Judge Napolitano is one of the most respected names out there, one of the most respected, credible names in right-wing media for decades.
	He does his show on YouTube now, one of the best interviewers and just sources for information you're not going to see in the mainstream.
	And so, you know, again, like I say, I mean, I've got sources.
	I'm not claiming to have the biggest sources, but I know good sources and I know people that feed me good information.
	Judge Napolitano's sources are probably way better than mine.
	So it sounds like he's getting a lot of the same intel here when he said this about the ongoing Epstein drama in Clip 14.
	I think Trump's Name is on the list.
	I think Mossad knows it.
	I think Mossad told their American stenographer, who happens to be the director of the CIA, who takes down every girl, takes everything Mossad told him.
	And I think that stenographer whispered it into the president's ear.
	And he's terrified that this will come out because he knows it will be the beginning of the end, whether there's a Republican Congress or a Democrat Congress.
	That's what I honestly believe has happened.
	Now, obviously, I haven't seen the files.
	So at this point, it feels inevitable.
	Now, again, Trump's name being on a list is it could mean anything.
	I don't think Trump was doing anything illegal.
	I don't think Trump was doing financial crimes or crimes with minors.
	Trump, it's known he's flown on the jet.
	It's obviously well-documented that he used to hang out with Epstein and party with him.
	So what does it mean that his name is on the list?
	I don't know.
	If it turns out Epstein was, you know, hooking him up with some 20-year-old hotties at his clubs, is that illegal?
	Because this is how these operations work.
	And Trump probably got wise to it, and that's eventually why he kicked Epstein out and cooperated with the FBI.
	But this is how these things operate.
	And again, it looks like Epstein was just probably the pimp, and he was probably blackmailed himself, and Maxwell was really the Mossad agent.
	So yeah, Epstein might have been an asset kind of running this operation.
	And it's like, hey, give him the island and he can have the New Mexico place where we're doing the clone crap.
	And then we can have him in New York where he's next door neighbors with some other powerful people that are in the Trump administration.
	So it's like you kind of just give Epstein all the money and everything and the jet.
	And then he's just kind of is the guy running it, but he's not really the agent.
	He's just like the fall guy.
	He's just like the prop guy.
	But, you know, he gets access to the nasty stuff that he's into and then protected by intelligence agencies and protected by governments.
	But that's what they do.
	They lure you in.
	It's like, oh, hey, oh, yeah.
	Oh, you like this girl over here?
	It's like, yeah, she's beautiful.
	She's single?
	She sure is.
	Oh, well, how old is she?
	She's 23.
	Just out of college.
	Like, really?
	Yeah, would you like to meet her?
	She's right over here.
	Yeah, come over here, sweetheart.
	Yeah, hey.
	Oh, nice to meet you.
	Yeah, very nice.
	Hey, you should come down to my club.
	Oh, sure.
	Yeah, we'll hop on the jet next week.
	Yeah, we'll be there.
	Oh, fantastic.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Now you're got a little 23-year-old on your arm.
	Now, next thing you know, maybe she's 19.
	Next thing you know, you think she's 19.
	She's actually 16.
	Now, what do you got?
	Now, I'm not saying that's what Trump was doing.
	I think Trump was into beautiful women.
	And, you know, Epstein obviously tried to get into these circles of powerful, rich people.
	That was his job.
	That was Maxwell and Epstein's job was to infiltrate these powerful, rich, influential circles.
	Oh, yeah, here's my 23-year-old friend.
	Sure, she'll fly out on your private jet.
	Absolutely.
	And then she's 19, and then she's 16.
	And then the next thing you know, you're at the island with Moloch over your head doing God knows what.
	So I think Trump drew the line at 20-year-old hot blondes, figured out what Epstein was doing and said, get the F out of here.
	And when the feds come and call in, I'm going to cooperate.
	And that's what all the other witnesses and everything say too.
	So who is Trump protecting?
	What is he concerned about?
	Why this giant communications disaster?
	I suppose there's still the mystery element.
	You know, I got to say this, though.
	I don't really care to play the clip, but I did send it to the crew, just the quintupling down yesterday with Trump at the White House here in clip 10.
	But let me just, can I just say this real quick?
	I got to give it to Trump here.
	I mean, this has to be the best decor.
	I mean, this guy's got taste.
	I mean, can we put this on the screen here?
	I mean, come on.
	That is just, I don't know who's doing his interior design and matching it with his attire, but I think we can all say that is about as good as it gets.
	And actually, there's an even better shot if the crew can even find it.
	There's even there's a shot where if you zoom out and then they've got the presidential portraits above them in the gold frames and they've got the tables with the eagles holding them up.
	And now they have the new gold chairs and couch and rug.
	So, I mean, he's definitely marketing this golden age.
	Is he going to deliver on it is another story.
	But man, who's ever doing the interior design there at the Oval Office?
	And if it's at Trump's behest, I tip my cap.
	You guys nailed it.
	You guys nailed it.
	It's got to be influenced by Trump.
	The guy loves gold.
	His whole penthouse is gold.
	You want to hear a funny one?
	Wow.
	So I guess it was like two or three months ago that you had the president of FIFA at the White House.
	And they're spotlighting that trophy that was sitting at the White House.
	I think it's still there.
	And so I guess they made two.
	And then there was some key exchange.
	There was some key exchange where Trump had a key.
	And so there's a new conspiracy theory.
	This stuff is so wild.
	I can't help it.
	I just go, I just go down these rabbit holes, folks.
	I don't even know where I end up half the time.
	And then you get there.
	You're like, what the hell?
	It's like, where am I?
	You may have heard of the book by Ingersoll Lockwood About Baron Trump's magical adventures and Donald Trump, the king, and everything else.
	And there's old illustrations, and it's a blonde old king, looks like Trump, and it's Baron Trump, who's apparently a giant.
	It's all this other stuff.
	And people think it's all time traveling stuff.
	And they connect this book written in like the 1920s or something.
	It's like 100-year-old book.
	And it has all these crazy connections to Donald Trump and Baron Trump, which it's like, yeah, you got to admit, the odds of that are crazy.
	So the new conspiracy theory.
	I bet you you could probably find some stories on this.
	The new conspiracy theory, this is how whacked out it is.
	This is the crazy, bizarro world that we're in now.
	Because how are you going to, you can't make any other sense of it.
	As things just continue to get worse, yeah, they've already found it.
	The FIFA trophy is actually a time machine.
	So this confirms the Ingersoll Lockwood time traveling Donald Trump.
	And then they say, see, it's the time machine from Ingersoll Lockwood's illustrations.
	It's the time machine from the movies like Contact and Terminator.
	And then there was another movie with, I think it was actually called Time Machine.
	What was the guy's name from?
	Memento?
	You remember that actor's name from Memento?
	He was in a time travel movie.
	Same thing.
	He makes a time machine.
	It's the same thing.
	So now it's, and then he has this key, and the guy's like, oh, yeah, that's your key to the time machine.
	Well, maybe.
	Yeah, Guy Pierce.
	I think it's called Time Machine.
	So I guess the president of FIFA is an alien, and he's given Trump the time traveling technology, and then he has the key to turn it off.
	Because how else are you going to make sense of any of any, right?
	I mean, none of it makes any sense.
	So let's go with the alien who runs FIFA with the alien that runs the NBA, and they're giving Trump the time travel technology because, you know, he's saving the earth from the pedophile demons.
	And that's the only hope you got, folks.
	That's the only hope you got now because they're covering up the Epstein list.
	So, no, the cover-up is actually an intentional Streisand effect.
	And it's all part of a time-traveling QAnon phenomenon.
	That's the only thing you got left.
	So I can't wait, folks.
	Are you ready to travel through time?
	I thought it would be like a phone booth or like a portal.
	Turns out it's just like a circular gyro sphere.
	Should have known.
	Should have known.
	The time machine was right in front of us the whole time.
	But look, that's Melania and Trump on the cover with the time machine and then young Baron Trump.
	So it's all okay.
	Trump is a time traveler.
	The aliens have given him the technology.
	So everybody just go back to sleep.
	Wow, that must be a remake.
	So I guess the guy Pierce one was a remake because that's the exact same time traveling machine, but with a different actor.
	So they did a remake of it.
	So there it is.
	It's okay, guys.
	Everybody relax.
	Trump's a time traveler saving us all.
	Everything's great.
	Everything is great.
	Only a time traveler could have such good taste.
	You know?
	Only a time traveler could have such strong taste.
	You know, there's some drama going on in the South Park world right now where they're having some contract production disputes.
	But you know what is really needed?
	A South Park episode on the Epstein list.
	Might be the only thing.
	Might be the only thing that can save us now.
	But they're in a creative production contract debacle right now.
	So I don't know what is going to happen with that, with the great creators of South Park, one of the greatest shows of all time.
	All right, now.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	All right, let's look at some of this other news here.
	Gavin Newsom needs to be investigated for this speed rail.
	I don't know what else you can call it.
	It looks like blatant theft.
	Sean Duffy, travel secretary, Governor Gavin Newsom and California's high-speed rail boondoggle are the definition of government incompetence and possibly corruption.
	The price tag has gone from $33 billion to $135 billion with no completion date in sight.
	We gave every single L.A. and San Francisco resident almost 200 free flights for that much.
	That's why today we're pulling the plug on federal funding for this train to nowhere.
	They haven't even laid a single track.
	And then also he did a Google search auto finish.
	Why has the California High-Speed Rail Project top auto completions cost taxpayers $15 billion, not had a single track laid in 16 years, experienced a $7 billion funding gap, been a disaster during Newsom's tenure?
	Where did the money go?
	You want to do a show of force raid to help your approval rating?
	Go raid Gavin Newsom's office and figure out where the billions went.
	Here's the video they put out to go along with the story.
	The project is estimated to cost $68 billion.
	A new report shows California's high-speed rail project is costing taxpayers more than $3 million a day.
	The LA Times reports the budget has grown to $77 billion.
	The cost for the project, though, has jumped to nearly $128 billion, much higher than the $33 billion voters approved in 2008.
	The project is no longer a $33 billion project.
	The project's years and years behind.
	The project's wildly over budget.
	That doesn't mean it's a bad idea, but it is a bad idea not to be truthful about things.
	Gavin Newsome is a bad idea.
	And so is California's high-speed rail boondock.
	It's now projected to cost $135 billion.
	For that price tag, we could give every single resident of LA and San Francisco almost 200 free flights.
	This is the definition of government incompetence and possibly corruption.
	That's why we're pulling the plug.
	No more federal funds for this high-speed train to nowhere.
	President Trump and I won't help Gavin Newsom waste your money.
	Yeah.
	Well, how about no more federal funds for California, period?
	I mean, let's get serious.
	Now, it's not all bad.
	It's not all bad from Gavin Newsom.
	He doesn't just steal federal funds.
	He's also willing to help a neighbor when a neighbor is in need.
	And so Gavin noticed that he had a neighbor of his who had a flat tire on his motorcycle.
	And so Gavin decided he would volunteer and bring out his air pump and help out his friend with a flat tire, guys.
	And luckily, the cameras were there to catch this heroic act from Gavin Newsom.
	And so it's not all bad.
	Newsom also gives back.
	Newsome is also willing to help out a neighbor in need.
	So guys, let's go ahead and go ahead and see clip 17 here.
	Gavin Newsom helping his friend inflate his tire.
	So see, it's not all bad with Gavin.
	Gavin can help a friend in need, and he's really good at inflating tires.
	I mean, he's really got that motion down.
	You got to give it to him.
	You got to give it to him for that.
	So, yeah, maybe they stole a couple billion dollars on a fake high-speed rail project, but at least he's there to pump your tire when it's flat and really put in an effort.
	They talk about elbow grease, but with Gavin Newsom, it's a totally different kind of grease.
	Whatever's left over from his hair, he puts down by his Derrier and just goes to work.
	And so let's just give Gavin Newsom the good press when it's deserved, and he will help you inflate your tire and more if you need it in the future.
	So it's not all bad with Gavin.
	And if he does run for president, we'll make sure that he gets credit for inflating his neighbor's tire.
	Great job, Gavin.
	Well done.
	Where the hidden agendas are laid bare.
	Welcome to the War Room with Owen Schroyer.
	The War Room with Owen Schroyer.
	Oh, my God.
	Yeah.
	Christian Briggs to talk about the Genius Act, central bank digital currencies, and then some action that was happening at the Hill today.
	And then this just broke moments ago.
	House passes crypto market structure bill after GOP revolt.
	The House passed legislation today laying out regulatory rules for the crypto industry after GOP leadership managed to stem a revolt from competing factions in the conference that brought the floor to a standstill and left the crypto legislation in limbo.
	The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act cleared the House 294 to 134 with 78 House Democrats joining the Republicans to support it.
	After hours of negotiations and the longest House vote on record, it was nine hours they broke the record.
	I probably, I guess it went over that now.
	Leadership agreed to add the anti-CBDC provisions to the National Defense Authorization Act, giving it a better chance of reaching Trump's desk.
	Now, I was talking to General Flynn earlier about this, and I asked him if he was doing interviews, and he said, no, but you should get Christian on.
	He's an expert on this, shared with me Christian's contact, got in touch with him, and now he joins me on the show.
	So as we were discussing earlier, Christian, you know, I'm really just going to be asking you the questions and having you get into your perspective on all of this.
	So I suppose we'll start here.
	You know, the issues of central bank digital currency, I think are pretty well understood by this audience.
	But is it well understood by Congress?
	Does Congress understand the real issues that we face?
	And is that why this was a record-long voting process?
	Well, yeah.
	Well, thanks for having me on the show.
	So, yeah, they recognize everything that they're currently doing in such a manner that they knew that if they had not put this legislation through, that on the world stage of crypto, especially within the stablecoin, which I want to try to make sure everyone understands, stablecoin is basically just another version of an algorithm or a tokenization of an asset that you use to buy and sell with.
	What was interesting about the way the whole crypto thing and the reason why it took nine hours or 10 hours and all that kind of stuff was there was absolutely a definitive need to clarify better understanding of the regulations.
	So the reason it took so long is the House determined that the Genius Act was a good bill, but it needed a little more language.
	And they could not go back to the Senate and get the Democrats to vote for it.
	So they determined that the language had to be put into the anti-CBDC bill.
	And then they also put some additional clarification in the Clarity Act that would prevent the CBDC from happening because the Genius Act was a good bill written by good people, but there might have been some nefarious people sometime in the future, like another administration, that could tweak it and then launch a centralized programmable money, basically, where they could determine if you want to buy, if you can buy or sell anything, travel or whatever.
	So that's what happened in the last, let's say, last three days.
	Well, I'm going to try to connect that to this Question, but this is more of an open-ended question, I think, for general understanding.
	And I'm not really a big crypto guy, I kind of have an outside understanding of it.
	I talk to a lot of people in the crypto community.
	You know, my best interpretation from a layman standpoint is we're trying to have a unique independent asset that we can trade with, use as a currency, and really, you know, ultimately escape from the fiat currency, escape from the central currency.
	So I'm looking at all of this debate and I'm thinking, doesn't this whole process kind of destroy the purpose here?
	It's like if we go to the beach and we just decide, all right, we're going to start trading in seashells.
	So we all go to the beach and start gathering up and we've all got these seashells and we're going to start trading in seashells.
	Well, then here comes the government and says, oh, this is great.
	We're going to regulate and write legislation and get involved in your seashell trade practice.
	And you'd be saying, no, this has nothing to do with you.
	We don't want your regulation.
	We don't want anything to do with it.
	So why is the government even involved with this?
	What is the purpose of this?
	Well, okay, those are some great questions.
	And there are actually multiple answers within that one topic or that one thing that you're asking.
	Why are we getting involved in this is a plethora of answers.
	But let me start at the beginning first.
	And then I'm going to make sure that I tie it all into the question that you just asked me.
	This all started in 2018 during Trump's first administration.
	While he was being distracted with baloney hoaxes of Russian collusion and impeachment processes, the Federal Reserve was secretly working on a project called the Hamilton Project from the New York and the Boston Fed buildings.
	What I had found out and brought to the attention of certain and select members of the Congress in the United States Senate and the House was that the Federal Reserve was working behind the scenes and usurping Congress's ultimate authority to issue new money, which is currency, even in digital form.
	They must get the approval of legislative body of Congress, Senate, and of course, and the House in order to send or to provide new forms of money.
	Well, the Federal Reserve took it upon themselves to redefine money instead of saying retail being, you know, you and I would use it.
	They did commercial central bank digital currency building.
	And so when I found out about it, I brought it to the attention of members of Congress, and they were not aware of this.
	And once they started doing their investigation, they figured out, holy cow, this is really happening.
	And it's happening under a clandestine operation called the Hamilton Project was the first.
	They were also working in cahoots with the Bank of International Settlements early as 2016, about the same time that Obama was getting out and Trump was getting in.
	And then they accelerated it during Trump's first term, fearing that they might have to get this delivered and deployed sometime if he was to win a second term.
	That's why they were so nefarious in their actions to try to get Trump at a position where he would not be able to get in a second term, which we now know that in 2020, they cheated on the election.
	So with that said, let's fast forward.
	So during the Biden administration, Joe Biden signed an executive order.
	God knows he probably didn't use the real pen, but an auto pen.
	And he expanded, accelerated, and made sure that the central bank digital currency was being implemented or certainly being built in order to be deployed sometime either at the end of his first term or into his second term at the time before Kamala was determined to be the candidate.
	Now, the reason we're doing this is one reason.
	When you go back and you actually can look at the Affordable Care Act, listen to this.
	This is where it all started.
	It started when Obama took office in 09, when Bitcoin became something of a novelty and then it kind of mushroomed into where it's at.
	Obama wanted two things, two structural changes in the way of which the United States would go from a republic to a democracy, because it's a republic.
	It's a constitutional run by laws, not democracy run by what I consider to be majority of emotions.
	He wanted two things to happen.
	One, he wanted Bitcoin to be the precursor to the central bank digital currency.
	In order to do that, he had to get it out and get people conditioned to use it and then program them as an everyday piece of your life.
	It's called consumption and then adoption.
	So you consume it so much that you adopt it as everyday.
	So Bitcoin was not started by somebody in an apartment in Newport Beach, like some people think.
	It was started by multiple different agencies that collaborated together in order to condition people to start thinking digital.
	Second thing he did, which was brilliant, and again, this would have turned money into a communist.
	And I'm going to quote Senator Bill Hagerty, Tim Scott, Congressman Warren Davidson.
	We would have been pure communism had this central bank digital currency been issued.
	The second thing he did to try to, again, socialize, communize, and some people will argue back and forth, but I'm not sure what the difference is much anymore.
	He wanted to socialize, communize medicine and healthcare.
	So that's where the Affordable Care Act came.
	So he initiated two things that he thought would bring America down to its knees and more in line and consistent with the rest of the world.
	Well, all of this continued to happen, and then it formulated into what we consider today to be the revolution of digital transactions.
	And the reason why that Bitcoin took off so much was once people realized that we were going to lose our cash transactions capabilities, checks in cash, it was a certainty, just not sure what the time was.
	Bitcoin became the go-to alternative form of transactionable assets.
	And now here we are today.
	And the difference between a Bitcoin or any kind of a cryptocurrency, which is completely different than a CBDC, is real simple.
	And I'm going to explain it so everybody can get this.
	Bitcoin trades on what they call a decentralized ledger or decentralized platform.
	Decentralized means that it can work with anonymity.
	It can go anywhere.
	And short of something nefarious in a wallet or something that would be bad, it pretty much runs its own ways of which the users at the end from the buyer or the seller or the person that's holding it determines where they want it to go.
	Centralized systems are centralizing it in what they call like a closed loop environment.
	That closed loop environment allows somebody At the very top, to pull a lever, where a decentral is open source, consider it to be can go anywhere, anytime.
	The owner of that asset, the Bitcoin, or if it's Cardano, or if it's XRP, whatever it may be that you trade in, those are decentralized systems.
	And you can push those anywhere you want.
	However, when you get into a centralized system, that's programmable money.
	That means somebody at the very top centralizing the power, centralizing the money in an environment that they can determine that you're not going to spend that money.
	So now fast forward, here we are today.
	About 60% of all transactions are now what?
	Digital.
	We have been programmed to accept an algorithm as value in exchange for something of value, whether you're buying gold, a car, or you're just buying something simple at Walmart.
	The reason why it was a rush to market was simple.
	The world is changing to digital format, whether it's hybrid central, decentral, full central, but there's very few decentral systems that are going to be running in governments because governments can't control a full decentralized system that runs with anonymity.
	It runs with freedom.
	So in Europe, come October, it's expected that they're going to launch a central bank digital currency, a CBDC.
	And if you go online, there's clear evidence, not only have they built this thing, but they're ready to deploy it because it's been in beta since April.
	And the Bank of International Settlements, which is the Bank of Banks, I'm sure many of your users or listeners have gone online and probably at some point listened to various people and yourself.
	I know Alex and everybody and Owen you have talked about this.
	We are working within an environment where about 60% of the world is going to centralize their monetary systems.
	We need to be ahead of that curve.
	And so applauding Tim Scott, Senator Hagerty to be able to get this through.
	Now, in saying that, the Genius Act was a well-written bill.
	It had a couple of things that needed to be clarified.
	And what they did was they clarified some additional language to prevent a central bank centralized coin or centralized digital currency to be deployed at any time in the future.
	Because good, people need to know, as good as Trump is, he's not going to be around forever.
	He can't be around another 20 years or 30 years as president.
	So the thought was in the Clarity Act, as well as the anti-CBDC Act, which was pretty much the House Financial Services Committee, Warren Davidson and his colleagues were in charge of making sure that the language was put into those two bills that was appropriate to prevent somebody in the future,
	an administration, let's just say for what it is, that would then be able to turn the tables almost like switching a lever, okay, pulling a lever, switching a switch, and turning it in from a decentral, hybrid, central to a full central where control could be a part of the equation.
	And that's the big picture, but there's more to the story as we drill down.
	Well, let me try to make it understandable or processable, consumable for the average person here.
	It's like, how would it apply to me?
	If I'm somebody that is a big believer in crypto, you know, Bitcoin or whatever it is, and ultimately the goal is to say we have an independent cryptocurrency where the government doesn't have oversight or involvement.
	Well, obviously, if you're the IRS or any government entity, you're thinking, well, okay, hold on a second.
	You know, these government gangsters are thinking, hold on a second, where's my cut?
	You know, they want their cut.
	When you work and get paid, they want their cut.
	When you buy something, they want your cut.
	When you own something, they want their cut.
	So they're always looking for a way to get their cut.
	So isn't that what we should be trying to avoid here?
	Shouldn't we be trying to avoid the government getting their cut in this process?
	Or is that really what this is all about?
	Is that the general fight here?
	Is that me and you can say, hey, I really like that car that you have?
	You say, oh, well, you know what?
	I'm actually trying to sell it.
	And I say, well, okay, how about two Bitcoin?
	You say, oh, okay, great.
	I give you two Bitcoin.
	You give me the car.
	The deal is done.
	Well, the government's going to say, hey, hold up.
	Where's my cut?
	You guys owe me some money here.
	Is that the general way to put this fight?
	Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong.
	I mean, that is a good way of explaining it, but it goes deeper than that.
	One of the things the Genius Act was incorporated to do was not just to stabilize, not just to stabilize the understanding and the regulation of stablecoins, which is basically a token that would back something.
	You have what they call stablecoin PACs, PAX.
	Those are gold-backed stablecoins.
	You have stablecoins that are backed by treasuries or deposits, cash on deposit at various financial institutions or any lender now that you're going to be required to be a bank to hold third-party.
	So third-party assets or custodial accounts.
	The question you have here is, how does the government get its cut?
	Well, the Genius Act was built and written in such a way to be able to stabilize again, what we are going into the next.
	Look, this is bigger than electricity.
	I've said this three, four years ago.
	I've heard people actually use this again in my words.
	It is a revolutionary way of which to transact.
	And for 5,000 years, whether you use seashells or gold or silver or land or in the case of how we bought the Manhattan Island from the Manhattan Indians, you know, it was basically a bunch of beads from the locals.
	We are now going into something that is not physical.
	We are transitioning from the paper, the hard assets to a algorithm.
	Now, the short-term value of this bill, this legislation of Genius Act, let's just talk about the Genius Act first, is to bring together the understanding that people will buy the stablecoin.
	They will buy these.
	They'll be issued by financial institutions that have the license and have the right of ways by the federal government's own policies and regulations to issue these stablecoins.
	We can buy them.
	You buy them.
	I can buy them.
	Those then will be shored up.
	The money that used to buy those will shore up the short-term treasury market.
	They'll be buying treasuries as a backstop to the stablecoins.
	That would help bring interest rates down without artificially asking or trying to get the Fed to lower rates, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent.
	Then all of a sudden, the rates come down.
	We now can ultimately see a lower deficit spending because we're not paying as much interest every day, every week, every month, what have you on the debt, especially the short-term debt, long-term debt is still a problematic, but at least short-term we can get a handle on.
	And the crypto industry will be huge and it'll bring GDP.
	I'm not sure the numbers yet.
	I'm actually working on that to see what the impact's going to be of this bill.
	But the bottom line is, had President Trump not won this term, let me tell you how bad it was going to get.
	Who are the bad actors?
	I'm going to give it to you straight.
	I'm going to probably ruffle some feathers, but I don't really care.
	So if you look close at Ripple, okay, and you do your homework, go online, look at Ripple, CBDC, Amazon, CBDC.
	You look at BIS, CBDC, Citibank.
	You look at all of these different companies, and we've got white papers on all of them that they produced, MasterCard, Visa.
	They all were back in the moat and thinking, we're going to backstop the central bank digital currency.
	President Trump will not be coming back in second term.
	This is what their thought pattern was.
	This is horrible, horrible things that they did.
	And President Trump knew this was going on.
	And kudos to him for staying the course.
	That shows the integrity and character of the man.
	And he knew he had to get into the office.
	This was one of his primary goals outside the big, beautiful bill, which obviously helped on the taxes and small businesses.
	But there were bad actors that were formulating a plan.
	And this is not conjecture opinion.
	This is fact.
	And I brought this to the attention of Congress.
	A number of different senators got on board with the House members, and we did our homework, and we determined that this was being done and built around Congress's own authority.
	And what happened then was we knew at some point that this was going to become the law of the land had Kamala won.
	I never thought she could win, but in the event she did, this was bad because there was an interview in February of this year where the CEO of Ripple actually was talking about this with some of his colleagues and other people within the industry where somebody among the group had basically said clearly, had Kamala won, the platform it's called Fed Now was the gateway to insert a CBDC, which mind you was already built.
	The Federal Reserve had already built this thing and tied it directly into the BIS.
	Members of the House actually toured and went to the BIS last year and confirmed all this about a year ago and told me personally.
	And they said that the Federal Reserve thought that they had the authority.
	Even Powell said in open testimony a number of years ago, they could launch a commercial CBDC, but not a retail.
	And they're right.
	But think about this.
	There's like 90% of small businesses have commercial accounts.
	So if you go commercial, well, okay, now you got 90% of the country.
	And then they were going to, if Kamala won, they were going to backstop.
	They gave her $11 million.
	One of the founders of Ripple or co-founders, somebody within the Ripple organization or close to it, I want to make sure I'm very clear about this and don't overstep it, but somebody close, because it was an interview that was actually published online that we discovered, had donated $11 million to Kamala's campaign in the anticipation she would win and then they could get this deal done.
	And that's why XRP is doing so well.
	They ultimately want centralized systems.
	It monopolizes financial policies.
	The problem is that's communism.
	In the words of Congressman Warren Davidson of Ohio, just today he said a CBDC is nothing but pure communism.
	It's programmable money that limits the owner and not even the owner.
	You're just a person that might have it.
	The real owner is the federal government or any kind of a third-party custodial holder.
	So we had to get this done because the rest of the world wants to go centralized.
	That would have hurt us in the long run.
	This is going to help in so many ways.
	One, it's going to make our short-term debt, our treasuries more attractive, which could very easily bring down interest rates.
	Second, it's going to help bring down the deficit spending.
	And it beats the European markets to what they're already going to be doing, which is inevitability.
	They're planning on launching a CBDC this October.
	So people may not realize it in the front end.
	I've always said, like Warren Buffett, I like to kind of use some of his own words because he's very smart.
	You don't see everything the first day, but that doesn't mean what you don't see today isn't already in process.
	And that's basically how he talks about long-term investing.
	So I'm kind of paraphrasing it.
	What today's actions with the clarity, this anti-CBDC bill and the genius bill or genius act, all of them getting done was incredible because it was bipartisan support.
	Once the Democrats realized, hey, you're not immune to this centralized system.
	You don't have a get out of jail card free people.
	They could turn on you as easily as they turn on anybody, anybody in the power of an administration.
	The AutoPen proves you can almost do anything once you're in that Oval Office.
	So Trump did two incredible things since he's taken office.
	One, he passed the BBB bill.
	Two, he got all three of these crypto acts done.
	Now, there was obviously some changes to some of the wording that would better protect what this whole thing was about.
	And I like to think that a lot of people understood we needed that fundamental changing of some of the language to kind of tighten it up a little bit.
	That's what committees are for.
	That's what the two houses or the two chambers of Congress are for.
	It's like the power of people, right?
	The more people you have in a room, the usually the generalization is that the ideas will flow better.
	They will have better recognition for the understanding of the opinions of the people in the room.
	And that's what happened.
	We literally saw something that could have gone the other way quickly, but because they took the time to really understand any areas that may have had some holes in them in a way that could be exploited, because sometimes you don't see the ramifications of the bills until what Nancy Pelosi once said, let's just pass the bill and then we'll figure out what's in it.
	Not this time.
	Warren Davidson, Mike Johnson, Trent Kelly, and there's a number of other, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Bover, all of these people took the time to make sure the language was right.
	And I know there's many others, and I don't want to ever say that those were the only ones because even the Democrats jumped on this.
	So what I'm saying to you today is today was a monumental day for the understanding that the United States is going to lead in digital asset transactionable tokens.
	And this is going to be one of the largest opportunities for investors in the crypto industry, in the AI industry, in any of the technology.
	Look at the chip market.
	This is going to make America better and greater than ever before.
	And it all stems by one thing, and that is we acted first.
	So just to keep it simple, because you probably just spoke a foreign language to most of the audience.
	Does it keep us?
	I got 20 seconds, so just yes or no?
	For two questions.
	Does it keep us out of a communist central bank digital currency, and does it keep the crypto market free?
	Yes.
	Yep.
	And you can thank both Tim Scott, Senator Hagney from the Senate, the co-authors, Warren Davidson, French Hill, and a number of others on the House side, and Mike Johnson, the Speaker.
	music The American way of life is under attack.
	This is The War Room.
	This is The War Room.
	By the way, you know, Powell might be forced to lower interest rates, but he might be trying to tell President Trump that, hey, you know, it might sound like a good idea to lower interest rates, and it might look good in the short term for somebody that's trying to get a car loan or get a mortgage where you're sitting in the sixes and the sevens, and you want to get it down to the twos and the threes.
	But he's saying, you know, you're sitting on a giant debt bubble here, and the banks, it could be a disaster.
	Well, Trump may have a Trump card.
	And now rumors are swirling that criminal referrals could be sent to Jerome Powell.
	Did you know, and it's been going around, I just hadn't covered it, they did a $2.5 billion renovation at the Federal Reserve Building.
	They did a $2.5 billion renovation.
	Now, this story broke last week, but with all the other noise.
	Well, they may try to now use, first of all, what the hell is that even about?
	So now they may try to use that as leverage and say, well, gee, you know, Jerome, we'd hate to investigate that.
	We'd hate to see if there's not a prosecutable offense there in your name.
	So, you know, maybe just maybe just lower interest rates.
	Now, I'll come back with that with some of this other economic news.
	Because it's really just insane the current status we have in our economy, especially for young people.
	And this is why they feel so disenfranchised and why they would consider voting for a communist.
	But I try to explain.
	It's like, look, I'm no communist.
	I'm never going to vote for a communist.
	But I listen to other people and I understand other people and I hear their points of view.
	And so, yeah, I mean, you have to understand, not everybody's like you.
	So they've given up.
	They feel that America is given up on them.
	So they just figure, oh, I'll vote for a communist, whatever.
	I can't afford a house.
	I can't afford a car.
	There's no future for me.
	I'll be broke forever.
	Why not just vote for a communist?
	So that's a real big issue for the future.
	But I'll show some numbers that are shocking.

	We are in the third and final hour of today's transmission.
	And we will come back and get kind of some closure on this economic news front today.
	Just dealing with we just have to stop making bad economic decisions, bad financial decisions.
	Really, put it simple, when it comes down to it.
	Defending the truth on the front lines of the information board.
	It's The War Room with Owen Troyer.
	The War Room with Owen Troyer.
	Epstein killed himself before finding out it was all a hoax.
	Elon Muggs.
	Uh-oh.
	Put it on the screen, guys.
	Trump calls Wall Street Journal to kill Epstein story.
	Never doubt me, folks.
	What did I literally say yesterday?
	And then today.
	I told you this stuff was inevitable.
	I told you behind the scenes they were trying to buy people off and get this thing spiked, but it wasn't going to happen.
	Thank you.
	You know, it's a really strange time.
	It's definitely not boring.
	And, you know, part of you is like enjoying the opportunity in a challenging time like this to show your loyalty as to the truth.
	To display who has integrity and who doesn't.
	Who's really, how should I say it?
	Media and who's just cheerleaders.
	But, you know, it's not a personal thing to me.
	I don't take politics personally.
	I could sit here and be like, wow, look at how hard we fought for Trump.
	And then look at how bad it's gotten so quick.
	Really doesn't even bother me.
	But I'm telling you, folks, there's a full-fledged effort to try to bury multiple stories right now.
	And it's not going to happen.
	I'm just telling you.
	And even if you get the Wall Street Journal to spike it or.
	They're not the only outlet with the story.
	OK.
	And I will tell you that.
	Even if they get whether it's from the FBI, the CIA or the White House.
	Even if they get one or two of these major news outlets to bury the story or spike it or not publish it.
	Independent journalists already have the story.
	They already have.
	And people are like kind of upset with me.
	I just have integrity as a journalist.
	A member of the media.
	And I don't scoop other people.
	I don't steal other people's leads.
	I don't steal other people's stories.
	A lot of other people do that.
	And a lot of times it ends up burning sources, burning bridges, and even ruining a story.
	So I just don't do that.
	And I'm getting messages last night, tonight.
	Tell us who it is.
	Tell us what's going on.
	I'm like, I'm not going to do that.
	You'll find out.
	I promise you'll find out.
	But there's one.
	There's one.
	It's not the only one.
	It's not the only one.
	And I'm just, I'm telling you folks, they're scrambling.
	They're scrambling bad.
	I told you yesterday.
	Told you an hour ago.
	It's just unbelievable to watch how badly they blew this deal.
	It's so bad.
	It's like, it's so bad that you almost can't even believe it.
	It's so bad that it's almost, you almost start to think it's intentional.
	That's why I had this meme today.
	I don't know if you guys can pull it up or you can put it on a doc cam.
	It's like, we're in a tug of war for the Epstein files now.
	That's why we're in political bizarro world.
	We're in a tug of war for the Epstein files.
	And then we look up at who's on our side pulling the rope and it's Democrats.
	And we're like, wait, what?
	Well, okay.
	And then you look at who's pulling the rope the other way and it's the Trump administration.
	We're like, what the hell?
	What bizarro world did I just wake up in?
	And I see all the different commentary on this and it's just a bunch of losers, quite frankly.
	Like, you know, if you're agreeing with Democrats, then maybe you're on the wrong side.
	Or you know what?
	Maybe the issue is so obviously bad that everybody agrees with it except you.
	You ever stop to consider that one?
	They try to do the same thing with the Israel deal.
	Oh, you must be a Democrat.
	You're a liberal.
	No, maybe Israel's actions in the Middle East are so evil right now that it's like, obviously you stand against that if you have any moral compass.
	Oh, look at you.
	You're with the liberals with the Epstein list.
	You're with the liberals on the Israel issue.
	Maybe you're just with the bad guys.
	Maybe you're just with the pedophiles.
	Maybe you're just with the war criminals.
	You ever stop to think about that?
	It's kind of like an old joke I've said before.
	You know, Muslims and Jews don't really agree on much, but you know what?
	They agree on one thing.
	They don't eat pork.
	So are you going to say, oh boy, I'm eating more pork now?
	No, maybe you say, you know what?
	Maybe they're on to something.
	You know, maybe if those two groups that probably don't agree on much at all, maybe if they don't like pork, maybe there's a good reason for that.
	guys who is uh who's actually reporting that at the top of drudge there so former former right winger turned left winger turned sub stacker Oliver Darcy.
	Hey, look, Darcy's obviously a clown, but you know, he does have white sources.
	He does have DC sources.
	He probably has, I don't know if he has the same sources as me, but probably similar.
	Oh, man.
	Folks, look, you have three types of people in DC that are going to be making moves right now.
	Just so you understand when all of this goes down.
	You've got your Trump loyalists that will do whatever the Trump administration wants.
	For whatever reason, access, clout, they think it's the best, trust, whatever.
	So you've got the media in D.C. that will just do whatever the Trump administration says, whatever the Trump administration wants.
	Then you have the people in D.C. that really aren't loyal to anything except getting the story.
	You might argue these are the people with the most integrity.
	They're not really politically motivated, but they want stories.
	They want scoops.
	They want to break big news.
	And then you have the people that will just do whatever it is that's hot.
	And you could probably lump like anti-Trump liberals into this too.
	So you could probably lump like Darcy into that.
	It's just like, oh, the Epstein thing is hot.
	Let's just get a story on that.
	The people in D.C. that aren't loyal to any political movements, whether they're right or left, they're going to break these stories.
	And you might be able to shut it down at the Wall Street Journal.
	And you might be able to shut it down at other networks.
	I'm not going to say, I mean, you heard Alex Jones.
	They called Alex.
	You heard Candace Owens.
	They called Candace.
	So you now have, I'd say like five, maybe 10% of this administration's energy is now focused on trying to stop stories from going out.
	But hey, things are great, guys.
	Things are great.
	They'll say, oh, you trust Oliver Darcy now?
	Well, I don't know.
	You know, if Oliver Darcy says, hey, drinking water is good for your health, what am I supposed to say?
	Oh, gee, I'm going to stop drinking water.
	It's just become such retardville, man, with these Trump cheerleaders and sycophants.
	It's just insane.
	So, whatever.
	You guys have decided what you want to do.
	And I get it, but it's not going to get any better for you.
	And if you can't see how this administration is in damage control mode, I don't know if you could say full panic mode yet, but I mean, this is total damage control mode, almost on total panic mode.
	And I'd say you're about three or four different potential pieces, puzzle pieces, chess pieces being moved around the board to them being in full panic mode.
	So it's like, okay, we knew the health story was going to drop.
	Let's come out and address it.
	Okay, that was good.
	That was honest.
	The Epstein stuff isn't going to go away.
	And then all of this other little stuff that's going to start popping up is going to become a bigger issue.
	But look, I don't even know if they know how bad it is, quite frankly.
	But you're on the verge, I'd say now, by the end of next week, you're going to have probably about three stories that are going to break that are going to be really bad for this administration.
	And just like I said earlier, that they're going to try to buy people off and shut it down, it's not going to work.
	It's not going to work.
	It might work for one or two networks or individuals.
	It might.
	It's not going to stop the story.
	It's not going to stop the story, folks.
	And it's just such a bad look now.
	Move on from the Epstein thing.
	No.
	Epstein and Maxwell were put in prison for sex trafficking minors.
	For sex trafficking minors to other people.
	We want those people arrested.
	It's that simple.
	We want pedophiles.
	We want child sex abusers arrested.
	At the very least, mind you, at the very least, we want them arrested.
	At the very most.
	Well, you heard what Tim Burchett said yesterday.
	So I don't know how they're going to continue to defend this.
	I really don't.
	They're not going to shut it down.
	They're going to learn very quickly.
	I don't know.
	If they haven't learned yet, maybe they never will.
	If you really think all of your digital influencers, if you really think the likes of all the new MAGA cheerleaders and sycophants, if you really think that A, they're ever going to get in the streets to fight for you, that's never going to happen, but you probably don't care about that.
	But if you ever think they're going to stop this dam from breaking, you're just out of your minds.
	You're out of your minds.
	I would say you could probably still get this thing under control.
	You could probably still get this thing out of control, under control, but you're like, you know, you got 10 seconds left on the clock, and you're down by two points.
	And you do have the ball.
	So, I mean, you could run up a play and shoot a three-pointer and make it at the buzzer and maybe stop this thing from being a complete devastation.
	There's still time on the clock, but it's like they don't even get it.
	And they really think they're digital influencers and their MAGA sycophants now that weren't there before 2024.
	It's like they really think that they're going to save them.
	And now they've realized, oh, crap, they're not.
	And so they're getting on the phone and they're calling Alex Jones and they're calling Candace Owens and they're calling the Wall Street Journal.
	And believe me, they're calling others.
	So let me simplify this because I was thinking about this last night.
	And there's really, you can't simplify it because it's so complex.
	But so let me try to simplify the complex.
	Oh, they just want us to release videos.
	No, we don't.
	Nobody wants to see these videos.
	I don't want to see any videos.
	In fact, I don't want to see a single video.
	I don't want to see a clip of a video.
	And stop showing us these fake cell videos from the Epstein cell.
	Stop that.
	So let's just make it very clear.
	We don't want videos.
	We don't even, it's not even about an Epstein list.
	That's just like the, that's just like the icon.
	That's just like the, that's just like the legend on the map.
	What we want is investigations.
	What we want is transparency.
	Nobody believes Epstein killed himself.
	And you're obviously not interested in proving it.
	Or you can't.
	But nobody believes that.
	Nobody believes that Maxwell and Epstein were trafficking sex slaves to nobody.
	So it's very simple.
	We want an investigation.
	And you have all the leads.
	It's that simple.
	Do the job.
	Who was Maxwell working for?
	Who was Epstein working for?
	We want the answers.
	Who was Maxwell and Epstein trafficking children to?
	We want the answers.
	That's what we want.
	And you can try to obfuscate and say, oh, they want videos and tell us Epstein didn't kill himself and say nobody cares.
	In case you haven't noticed, it's not working and it's only making it worse.
	So it's very simple.
	You either do the work and give us the answers or we're never going to shut up.
	And then it's going to be your legacy.
	And then you will be the Epstein cover-up guys.
	And I guarantee you, people are going to start leaving over it because they don't want to be that guy.
	They don't want to be that girl.
	Just like Saki said, I don't want to be the press secretary for President Potato Head.
	I'm not going to be the press secretary for President Liar.
	I'm out.
	People will start fleeing the administration.
	Now, if anybody in this administration wants to start this process, you need to have a press conference immediately.
	And I wouldn't put Trump there.
	It needs to be Pam Bondi.
	It needs to be Cash Patel.
	And it needs to be Ratcliffe.
	And you need to have a joint press conference.
	And you need to take every single question from the press and answer every single question for the press.
	You want to be transparent.
	You want to restore trust.
	Start taking questions and start answering them.
	And then when you finish that, get to work.
	But see, now it's just worse.
	So instead of doing the press conference, instead of doing the investigation, oh, the Democrats edited and altered and doctored all the documents.
	Okay, so where's the investigation?
	Where are the criminal charges?
	That's a crime.
	That's a felony.
	Anything short of that, it's over.
	You will be the Epstein cover-up team.
	Any other amount of accomplishments will never rise above being the Epstein cover-up team.
	Do the press conference and do the work.
	And anything short of that, it's only going to get worse and you'll be the Epstein cover-up guys.
	Simple as that.
	But now you see.
	Instead of doing the press conference or doing the work, what are they doing?
	They're calling these news outlets and saying, shut it down.
	You just can't even believe it.
	But we're witnessing it.
	But hey, if this is like a big bait and switch, then okay, good job.
	You trolled the media.
	Here's two examples of Democrats, Sonny Hostin and Anderson Cooper, having completely different coverage approaches with the Epstein list, just based off who the president is.
	Guys, give me one and 16, back-to-back, one and 16.
	People were dying for this information.
	There was some sort of list that everybody thought was going to come out and who's on the list.
	What's important for us to note is we shouldn't be repeating names that are on the list because just because your name has not on the list, but in the documents, just because your name is on the documents doesn't mean that you have done anything criminally irresponsible or illegal or civilly or that you were a client or that you were a client.
	Only really, these documents as I read them only reflect Epstein's sexual assault of women and his sexual behavior.
	So I think that suit does not equate to being accused of wrongdoing.
	And I think that is extremely important because conspiracy theorists seem to not understand or enjoy facts.
	These are the facts.
	There is a list.
	Trump's name is on the logs, the passenger logs of Epstein's aircraft at least seven times.
	That's already been made public.
	I mean, of course, Trump is denying any, you know, all, any null allegations, but all of that information is out there.
	Why not just put it to rest and say, really still?
	And wait a minute.
	So I have not heard her publicly say, you know what?
	I no longer believe that Anderson Cooper and Tom Hanks and all these people and all these Democratic leaders, I no longer believe that they're Satanists and blood drinkers and pedophiles.
	I no longer believe that they're on a phony manifest.
	They believe that, you know, there's belief out there that by QNON people that there's this cabal of people drinking the blood of children and it's based on anti-Semitic tropes.
	You say she behind closed doors disavowed that?
	Come on.
	I mean, Mike, you would not want to sit next to this person in public, would you?
	It's not exactly outlandish to wonder about the president's connections with Epstein, given that they've crossed paths and shared moments many times over the years, both in New York and Mar-a-Lago circles.
	The Epstein case's pivotal moments, including Epstein's death in jail in 2019, happened during the first Trump administration.
	So even if everything to do with the president, both in office and before, are all completely innocent and above board, as they very well may be, the connections themselves are still there.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Well, I'll tell you what we got here.
	That's called consistency, integrity.
	Very rare in media, in case you haven't noticed, very rare.
	You know, I heard Anderson Cooper.
	I heard him.
	In 2021, when Biden was president, he said, we're not going to talk about Epstein.
	We're not going to do it.
	It's anti-Semitic, in fact, is what he said.
	Something about blood drinkers and Satanists and demonic cults or something or other, but he doesn't want to talk about it.
	That's kind of strange.
	But now that it's Trump, oh, its first story he talks about every night is Epstein.
	How long is it going to be before he says Trump's drinking the blood?
	How long is it going to be till Anderson Cooper goes full QAnon and says, I'm the adrenochrome guy?
	He'll say it's me.
	No, these aren't honest people.
	I saw Sonny Hostin.
	She's not very bright, though.
	I don't think she's very bright.
	In fact, I think you have to have very low IQ if you want to be on the view.
	They call it the view rhymes with low IQ.
	They do an IQ test, anything above 80, you're not getting hired.
	Keep them low.
	Keep the IQs low.
	Yet, we saw them.
	They wanted to say, Biden's president, don't talk about Epstein.
	Don't talk about the list.
	Don't name the names.
	But now that it's Trump, it's their biggest thing.
	And they talk about it every day, and they want to make it about me.
	So typical of the fake news is what we call them, the fake news.
	Well, President Trump, you have to do the greatest thing ever and release the list and round up the pedophiles.
	Unmasking the elite's deceptions.
	Welcome to the War Room with Owen Schroer.
	You have to do the best.
	Well, we actually have a big announcement here.
	A new technological discovery has been made.
	If you're trying to become invisible or disappear or be unseen, all you got to do is wrap yourself in the Epstein files and you just disappear.
	You don't even exist.
	Really an amazing thing.
	You know, last night, Shane Gillis performed at the Espes.
	It's the ESPN Sports Awards.
	And had probably the greatest set, stand-up set in the history of the Espes, which has been around probably about 20 or 30 years.
	Just killed it.
	I may play the whole thing.
	It was so good.
	You know, it's funny when I noticed, and, you know, I come from the sports world, I haven't been in the sports world since, I guess, about 2000, well, I guess when I came down here, so 2016.
	So it's been about 10 years.
	And I'm watching this, and Shane is just telling great joke after great joke after great joke.
	And it's like they don't even know what's going on.
	I can't tell if they're hesitant to laugh because it's so politically correct in the sports world now, or if they just didn't get the jokes because many of them were political in nature.
	So it was like, did they just not understand it?
	Or are they so scared of laughing?
	But he absolutely just killed it.
	Congratulations to Shane Gillis.
	By the way, I don't, I mean, he stole one of my jokes and I'm totally proud of that.
	My joke of Jeff Repstein didn't exist from July 6th.
	He put that joke in his stand-up routine last night.
	So I'm flattered, actually.
	And you can cut me a $50 check.
	How about that?
	I'll take 50 bucks.
	I think 50 bucks will afford you.
	What do you think?
	Like a sub-sandwich, maybe?
	Like 50 bucks for a sandwich now in America?
	So I might be able to buy lunch.
	It was fantastic.
	We may, if we have time, we may just play the whole thing.

	So, Maureen Comey fired after she spikes the Epstein case, Maxwell case, and Diddy case.
	And then she gets fired.
	So, job well done.
	Now you can retire.
	Unbelievable.
	What an absolute joke.
	You know what?
	How about this?
	How about this?
	We'll have a little fun here in the last segment.
	So, Candace Owens is getting calls about the Macrone situation with Brigitte being a man or whatever.
	And it was back in the news today.
	I thought I had it somewhere on my desk.
	I can't find it now.
	There was something about it.
	It was back in the news today.
	And how the Macron family is just devastated by this.
	And oh, my gosh.
	And he's calling Trump and just begging him to shut it down.
	And Brasitt is, oh, she's, oh, my God.
	She says, oh, she's just crying her eyes out.
	You know, poor Brigitte.
	She's not a man.
	I'm not a man.
	I'm not a man.
	Seem awfully defensive.
	Seem awfully defensive.
	So, you start to wonder, though, certainly should Brigitte Macrone be a man?
	A lot of stuff there?
	A lot of stuff between the legs, even?
	The whole relationship when Emmanuel was a little boy in school and then he or she, whatever.
	And then they get married.
	You know, there's a lot of weirdness there.
	And you start to look at some of these other individuals' wives, quote unquote, like a Chuck Schumer's wife.
	You know what I mean?
	Some other wives out there.
	Brigitte McCrone.
	Driven to despair.
	Brigitte.
	Oh, you can't even get her name right, you jerk.
	You can't even get her gender right.
	You can't even get her name right.
	How judges ruling on claims she was born a man has unleashed an army of trolls and conspiracy theorists.
	Hey, you know, isn't there a way to, you know, put it to rest?
	I can think of two ways.
	The easy way and the hard way.
	No opponent.
	Stop it.
	Stop.
	Actually, I don't know which would be the easy way and the hard way.
	You could just.
	You know.
	No, nobody wants to see that.
	So couldn't you just do like a blood test or something?
	Couldn't you just do a DNA test?
	I'll tell you real quick.
	You know that, right?
	You could just do that.
	Why aren't you doing that?
	But it makes you wonder.
	Certainly our current leaders aren't the only guys that like to date or marry trannies, right?
	So somebody went back throughout U.S. presidential history and started to notice a trend.
	How many first ladies have actually been men?
	Here's a little fun ditty for you in clip three.
	Whoever wore one shell looks like a guy.
	A barber and maybe two.
	Did you ever think Francis was really a friend?
	Well listen up, I'm talking to you.
	Did you ever think Jackie was the peak of femininity, but wonder what the fashion hides?
	Then we all got to see her in a skimpy bikini, and we know that she swaps sides.
	Oh, all the first ladies are men, my friends.
	Yes, all of them are men.
	And put down your hands, cause they're not trans.
	They just don't want women in their den.
	All the first ladies are men, my friends.
	You can see it plain and true.
	And if you think that's lies, then open your eyes and you might see it too.
	Louis Henry Hoover, what a maneuver.
	He didn't even change his name.
	And Martha Washington in bombing them had features that looked oddly the same.
	Barber's pearls hit the apple, ever so sly.
	But we all saw so no need to deny.
	And Lucretia's charm was easy to see.
	But her jawline made a different decree.
	Oh, the first ladies are men, my friends.
	Yes, all of them are men.
	I don't know, guys.
	I'm starting to get a little concerned.
	And put down your hands, cause they're not trans.
	They just don't want women in their den.
	All the first ladies are men, my friends.
	It's starting to make sense.
	And if you think that's lies, then open your eyes, then you might see it too.
	Good God.
	That's a man, baby.
	Now there's no divider.
	That's not a woman you see.
	And you can't ignore the face of Belly North.
	It's as manly as can be.
	Dear old Patty with his best pal happy.
	Together they can try it.
	And Lady Bird Johnson really had a Johnson.
	And Betty Ford with Liberace vibes.
	Oh, all the first ladies are men, my friends.
	Yes, all of them are men.
	And put down your hands, cause they're not trans.
	They just don't want women in their den.
	All the first ladies are men, my friends.
	You can see it plain and true.
	And if you think that's lies, then open your eyes, then you might see it too.
	From Martha to Melania, they play the same game.
	You can lie all you want.
	won't let the truth stay.
	All right.
	I don't think it was all of them.
	I don't think Melania.
	No.
	I don't think Hillary either.
	But what do we think, guys?
	What do we think?
	I think it's more than Michelle.
	If that little fun song put a smile on my face, which it did, it also made me think, you know what?
	I don't think Michelle was the first.
	Oh, yeah.
	The proof is in the Epstein files.
	Everything's in the Epstein files.
	The secret to gravity and, you know, the secrets of the shape of the earth, it's all in the Epstein files.
	No, I think Michelle wasn't the first.
	By the way, did you guys see Michelle and Barack have their little come together moment on Michelle's podcast, which is getting no ratings, by the way.
	So that her and Barack did like a come to Jesus moment.
	It was very awkward.
	They were definitely not together.
	So then they get together and they have this awkward, like, oh, we're hugging and everything, you know.
	It's like, all right, we're not divorced, but, you know, maybe we were almost divorced.
	And then Barack says every young man should have a gay friend.
	You probably didn't see that because nobody watches the Michelle Obama podcast.
	Just a couple of dudes, just a couple of bros hanging out.
	Come on, guys.
	But Obama wants you, if you're a young man listening, Obama wants you to have a gay friend.
	He thinks young men need to have gay friends.
	All right?
	So what are you doing?
	By the way, more news about how network news is dying.
	The grim biz of selling off cable TV.
	Yeah, nobody's really interested.
	All the money is going elsewhere.
	Oh, man.
	And if RFK Jr. would have actually said no pharmaceutical ads on TV, if they would have done that, network news would have died.
	And maybe that's why they didn't do it because they figured that out.
	They're going to hand this race to Mom Donnie, which has a guy that didn't place a friendly wager with multiple people that Mom Donnie would win.
	I have no interest in that.
	But no, they're going to hand it to him.
	Ex-NYPD boss Tom Donlin rips morally corrupt Eric Adams.
	NYC should absolutely not seek reelection.
	And by the way, I talked to former New York cops as well, and they hate Eric Adams.
	And then you had Sleewa, the Republican candidate, who's, look, he's a great guy.
	He really is just a fantastic guy.
	I mean, really just a class act.
	He's not going to win.
	He'll be lucky if he gets 30%.
	So Sliwa is going to continue to run.
	Adams is going to continue to run.
	Cuomo just came out and said, I'm running as an independent.
	I'm not dropping out.
	Mom Donnie is going to win this deal.
	You guys are so dumb.
	And then I read these stories, like they put it in the New York Times, how the big financial elite in New York City are coming together to build a chest, a war chest against Mom Donny.
	Are you stupid?
	You could get as much money you want to put into a war chest.
	If you don't get one of these guys, if you try to run Sleewa, Cuomo, and Adams, you're done.
	You're done.
	You got to pick one.
	You have to pick one.
	Really, you should probably go with Adams.
	Eric Adams has your best chance.
	By far, it's not even close.
	Cuomo, as Sleewa called him last night, is a fanny slapper and a granny killer.
	So Cuomo can't win.
	He already lost to Mom Danny.
	Sleewa can't win.
	He's never won.
	At least Adams has won.
	And there's some support base there.
	You can build the biggest war chest against Mom Dani.
	If you don't get everyone else to drop out and then put everything behind Adams, Mom Danny is going to win.
	I'm going against my own self-interests by trying to give you the ticket.
	But people just don't listen.
	You know, they just don't take my friendly advice.
	I give it out for free, too.
	Give it out for free.
	People pay millions of dollars for this advice.
	I just give it out for free.
	It's just crazy.
	All right.
	Here's what I'm going to do.
	I'm going to put the rest of this down and we can pick some of it up tomorrow.
	It's not going to go anywhere.
	I want you to see this Shane Gillis stand-up from last night because it was so fantastic.
	He had an Epstein joke in there, but I want you to think about this.
	It was the top thing.
	With all the Epstein news, Gillis last night was the top trend on X. Think about that.
	That's big.
	To beat out the Epstein stuff, which is just day after day, number one, Gillis was bigger.
	That's how good his set was.
	And as you're listening to it, you notice the crowd is like hesitant to laugh or afraid to laugh.
	I'm just like, is the sports world that politically correct?
	Is the sports world that liberal cucked that they can't laugh at a funny joke?
	Or do they just have no clue?
	Do they just literally not get the jokes?
	Now, the sports jokes, they should all get.
	The political jokes maybe go over their head.
	But Shane Gillis, just total tip of the cap, man.
	You just, you nailed it.
	Congratulations, brother.
	You were just fantastic.
	I'm honored that my joke made its way into your set.
	And in case you didn't see it, last night, Shane Gillis, fantastic.
	Best SB set I've ever seen.
	10 out of 10.
	Here it is.
	Please welcome your host, Shane Gillis.
	Thank you.
	Look how scared they all are.
	You're like, oh boy.
	Mike Conservative here.
	Look out.
	Hello.
	He knows it, too.
	Welcome to the 2025 SPs.
	I'm so excited to be here in front of so many amazing athletes.
	World champion Freddie Freeman is here.
	Give it up for Freddie.
	WNBA legend Deanna Terasi is here.
	Give it up for her.
	My bet on that.
	SGA is here.
	Give it up for SGA.
	Hell yeah, bro.
	And now everybody sitting around him is in foul trouble.
	Megan Rapino could not make it tonight.
	Nice.
	No, we're going to pretend she's a good time.
	All right.
	John Jones and Nate Diaz are here.
	I actually, yeah, hell yeah.
	Actually, I had a couple drinks with those guys last night at the hotel, and it was terrifying.
	Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn.
	The last time he staged a fight in D.C., Mike Pence almost died.
	You don't have to do that.
	It was fine.
	I didn't write it.
	Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but as it got deleted.
	Must have probably deleted itself, right?
	Probably never existed, actually.
	Let's move on as a country and ignore that.
	The New York Knicks had a great season.
	Yeah, hell yeah.
	Carl Anthony Towns is here.
	Hey, girl.
	All right.
	You know what?
	I'm going to pull out of this now because most of the jokes are now sports, but I wanted you to at least hear the Epstein joke.
	And there's some other political jokes in there.
	But it just shows how we've taken over the culture.
	We've taken over the culture in all spectrums.
	It's unstoppable.
	It's an unstoppable force.
	We've totally taken over the culture.
	We've infiltrated everything.
	You cannot stop us.
	You can try.
	You can tell us to shut up.
	You cannot stop us.
	So that's what that represented to me.
	But there's a lot of other funny stuff.
	It goes on for about five more minutes.
	Here's another funny one for you, though.
	This was in Portland.
	And you have these, you know, Antifa types, whatever.
	They're out here.
	They're protesting against ICE.
	They're trying to stop ICE.
	So ICE decided to use a new tactic never seen before.
	So they try to warn them on a bullhorn to disperse, but see if you catch exactly who is this speaking into the bullhorn, if you would, in clip 19.
	Is that Donald Trump?
	This is the Federal Protective Service.
	The facility is closed and not open to the public.
	Stay out of the area of the driveway to allow for vehicular traffic.
	Remain on the sidewalk.
	We're using Trump's voice now on their alert system on their bullhorn.
	Wow.
	All we gotta do is like actually convince them to take their clothes off and just have an orchid.
	These are disturbed people.
	That looks like Shaggy.
	Like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.
	It's just, you know, these leftists are just such...
	And you have to stand up for that.
	But it's like you also have to just understand basic humanity.
	You're out here telling cops they need to die.
	You're literally spray painting it onto the walls right next to them that they deserve the guillotine.
	These guys are under attack whenever they're doing these operations.
	And so it just reaches such a boiling point and you can't help it.
	It's like, yeah, I don't want to see Gestapo techniques.
	I don't want to see military on our streets.
	It's like, I don't want to see this.
	But I mean, you're out here chanting death to cops.
	You're out here telling them they deserve the guillotine.
	You're out there trying to stop them do their job.
	It's like, you know, are you really surprised when America doesn't feel bad when you get your head stomped in?
	It's like, what?
	You're stunned?
	Oh my gosh.
	Whoa.
	I'm out here getting my ass kicked by ice and nobody cares because you're an asshole.
	You did it to yourself.
	Ah.
	you Do you live in Oregon and do you fish?
	Because you just got a new law passed that's going to make you insane.
	New Oregon law ups boating fees and requires all boats to get a permit.
	Now, hold on.
	What do we mean by all boats?
	All motorized and non-motorized.
	A kayak.
	A kayak.
	You need a boating license for a kayak.
	For a...
	In Ohio they do this?
	The crew is telling me, what the hell?
	What the hell is going on?
	You imagine you go out with your friends to the lake and we're gonna have a great day.
	You got your kayaks or your uh or those wakeboard paddleboards.
	Out there paddleboarding around, sick of you, you know, having a, having a cold beverage.
	Here comes a.
	Here comes the government, and they say, is that a legal paddleboard there?
	Say, what?
	What does that mean?
	Sir, I'm gonna need to see your boating license.
	Boating license?
	I'm on a paddleboard.
	I just bought this at Walmart.
	Are you giving me lips on?
	You want me to take you down?
	You gotta have a boating license for a freaking paddleboard, man.
	This is crazy.
	Crazy.
	What we put up with.
	Florida Airport ordered to report any weather modification activity.
	So they're really cracking down on this in Florida.
	I noticed with all the different states that flood in the last couple of weeks that had the floods, Florida didn't.
	I wonder if that's just a coincidence.
	Oh, and by the way, in the UK, in case things weren't bad enough, they decided to make them worse.
	UK to lower voting age to 16 in next election.
	Well, that's great because we all know what smart decisions we make at 16 years old, right, guys?
	That's when we really make smart decisions and understand what is best for us and others at age 16.
	Good luck with that.
