Just breaking as we come on the air.
Kamala Harris will not be running for California governor.
We will get into that.
Cash Patel has now found thousands of sensitive Trump Russia probe documents inside a burn bag in a secret room at the FBI.
Whoopsie Daisy, smoking guns.
I have it on good authority.
That is likely why Dan Bongeno put out that cryptic tweet or ex post this weekend saying that he'll never be the same again, seeing what he has seen, which is the grand conspiracy and how deep state actors have literally subverted our our very own government.
We'll get to that.
We have great economic news, and then we have a chairman of the Federal Reserve that is absolutely doing everything in his power to hold back what is a strong thriving economy.
Do you realize the U.S. economy grew at a three percent rate in quarter two?
Oh, always better than expected.
That's what they always say.
Better than expected, better than the experts anticipated.
Um all of this, you know, would warrant a significant cut in interest rates.
I mean, this this one this one powerful position, which is appointed, and you can make the point, Donald Trump appointed him, but he's doing a horrible job, and that is Jerome Powell.
He is single-handedly keeping interest rates artificially high.
And that it is having an impact on the economy.
He's he'll be out in May, if not sooner.
We'll see.
If he had any honor, frankly, he knows he's not wanted in that position, but he would leave.
And uh it is beyond frustrating.
And I'll tell you is getting hurt the most by this.
People that would like to get into the housing market.
It is interest rates are so cost prohibitive for people, new home buyers, first-time home buyers, they're not they're not able to get it or afford that that first mortgage because interest rates are so high.
That means a lot of young people are shut out.
Uh sales of pre-existing homes, they are going to remain stagnant as long as interest rates remain artificially unfairly high.
And that means new home construction is also going to be hit because there's not going to be a need or a desire because people are not going to be buying new homes or pre-existing homes.
Nobody's going to give up a three, four percent 30-year fixed rate mortgage and trade it in for a seven, seven and a half percent 30-year fixed rate mortgage, because that's thousands of dollars more a month.
They're not going to do it.
And it's beyond frustrating.
By the way, uh Marx's momdani is now claiming that his past comments about defunding the police and other comments about the police, which we'll get into a great specificity.
They were just made out of frustration.
Just four years ago.
Oh, that's the real reason.
Uh so there's a lot happening here.
Um we now it uh we we have one person, and I believe this is rooted, and this is my theory.
I don't know what's in the guy's heart or mind, but I think that Jerome Powell is allowing the the power of his position to now greatly negatively impact the economy by keeping interest rates artificially high.
We got incredible news today.
Incredible news today.
And that's why the announcement earlier that he was not gonna lower interest rates is is so frustrating on every level.
I I think that's probably the reason why the stock market didn't react to the economic news.
The U.S. economy grew at a much stronger than expected.
Whenever Donald Trump is successful, oh, stronger than expected.
Uh pace in the second quarter, powered by a turnaround in the trade balance, renewed consumer strength, uh, gross domestic product, which is a sum of goods and services activity across the sprawling U.S. economy jumped three percent for the month of April through for the period April through June,
meaning the second quarter, according to figures adjusted for uh inflation, and that top the Dow Jones had only estimated two point three percent growth for the second quarter to help reverse a decline of zero point five percent for the first quarter, which, you know, that was the Biden Harris economy.
Financial markets, I think, have not reacted because they knew that the Fed was unlikely to cut interest rates.
And once they once interest rates come down, I would say today would have been the perfect time for a full basis point reduction.
If that happened, we'd we would now be in the swing of things and it would reflect the reality of Donald Trump and what he's doing with the economy.
We spent you know, look at we now have over twelve trillion dollars.
Howard Lutnick puts the number closer to 15 trillion in committed manufacturing investments in this country.
We have never in our history had anything like this.
When you factor in the $750 billion commitment by the EU in terms of purchasing energy, which, by the way, has the added impact and effect of ending the funding of Western Europe for Putin's war machine.
I mean, you you can't even factor in how big a deal it's going to be once America gets its energy infrastructure up and running based on the deregulation of President Trump.
Now, you can add to that a number of other factors.
This this $12 to $15 trillion, whatever the the money the actual number is, is never happened before.
This is committed manufacturing monies that are going to be spent in America.
We have now have commitments for automobile manufacturing by numerous manufacturers.
They're moving their plants to America.
They're moving their facilities to America.
That's going to be high-paying career jobs for many Americans.
We also now are committed to building out uh pharmaceutical manufacturing in this country, so we're not dependent on foreign nations.
That's another more high-paying career jobs for Americans.
Even foreign uh pharmaceutical companies like AstraZeneca, they're going to be building out manufacturing facilities here.
Rolls-Royce, they're going to be manufacturing some of their products here.
Uh foreign uh foreign automakers, they're going to be manufacturing their their automobiles here to avoid the tariffs that President Trump otherwise would be putting in place.
Uh then we've got rare earths and the deal that was made to mine in this country, something we haven't done in decades and decades because of this adherence to this environmental radicalism.
That is critical to manufacturing defense equipment and critical to automotive manufacturing, including magnets and uh, etc.
But if you put all of this together, the the twelve, fifteen trillion, whatever the amount is from countries and companies, you put together the incalculable impact on the economy by becoming energy dominant, knowing that oil always has been and will remain in energy, oil, gas, and coal remain the lifeblood of the world's economy, and we are more than uh more than energy independent.
That happened in Donald Trump's first term.
Now the goal is energy dominance.
This trade deal with the EU is also, you know, very, very critical because they're gonna now purchase a lot of their energy that they need for their economies from us on top of other committed investments that they've made, over six hundred billion dollars.
Then the look at the trade deal with Japan and Vietnam and Indonesia and the European Union and Great Britain and Australia now will import uh American beef and the pending trade deal with China.
And, you know, then you add to that the largest tax cut in American history.
Now, somebody's always believed in supply-side economics.
It has been proven over and over again.
When you cut taxes, you end up creating more revenues for the federal government.
Reagan dropped the top marginal rate from 70 to 28 percent revenues to the federal government didn't go down.
They doubled.
It created 21 million new jobs, the longest period of peacetime economic growth in history.
I told you yesterday, one of these big investment Banks is now predicting that these are going to be boom times financially in America.
The only thing holding this this back at all, the only sector of the economy that is getting hurt is the housing market, and that's being hurt specifically by one person, one man that has an animus and an agenda that is contrary to President Trump, and that is the Fed chair, Jerome Powell.
I mean, if they could find a reason to fire him, I think he deserves to be fired.
He's not up to the job.
If he had any honor, knowing that he's disliked to the extent that he is, and his policies are that out of sync with a duly elected president, he should resign, get out of the way, and let President Trump appoint somebody that is more in sync with getting interest rates to a level that is more aligned with where the rest of the world happens to be.
But the largest tax cut in history, then no tax on tips and overtime.
You're gonna have and more job opportunities than Americans have ever had at one given time, considering the manufacturing dollars committed.
I mean, I I I don't see how the economy cannot prosper at a level maybe we've never seen before.
Foundationally, everything is there.
Now you always have to factor in the possibility that something can happen that is unforeseen.
I mean, we could have another, God forbid, 9 11.
You could have another COVID.
You could have, you know, all sorts of unpredictable things can arise that could impact the economy in negative ways.
I I but putting all of those unknowns aside, assuming there isn't something as severe as is as those scenarios.
I just have never seen an opportunity like this.
This EU trade deal with the president ushers in a huge opportunity.
There's a great story even in USA Today for blue-collar workers.
I've been listening to Mike Rowe.
And I read this article, and I've I've I've referenced it many times on this program.
The next generation of millionaires are going to be blue-collar workers and tradesmen because they're going to be in such high demand.
And the workforce is going to change.
It's going to be altered, and it's going to be altered because of technology.
That technology is artificial intelligence.
And America's going to be on the cutting edge of providing all the energy that is needed for all of that.
But this trade deal with the European Union includes tariffs on U.S. imports and significant European Union investment in American industries, and the deal aims to boost the U.S. economy, create jobs, and add to that in the one big beautiful bill that Democrats constantly try to demonize.
There is what's called bonus depreciation for manufacturers.
In other words, if you build out your facilities in a year, you get to write off the entire project that year.
Usually you get to write it off over a series over a period of years.
Well, that's going to that's going to cause a lot of people to build those facilities that much faster, meaning that the economy will recover that much faster.
You know, there's a massive shift that is happening here.
You know, this is, you know, all of these trade deals, nobody believed that Donald Trump's trade policy would be this successful.
And people are now even saying it.
Now there are some Republicans that want, for example, to give uh stimulus checks.
I know Josh Hawley's looking for a six hundred dollar check.
I would say maybe if you as long as some of the money goes towards paying down the debt, I would be fine with that.
I think that's similarly, it's a it's a shot in the arm.
It's like a shot of adrenaline.
It's a one-time thing, but I think it would be pretty good.
ADP came out with their unemployment report, and it shows, you know, that the labor department's official numbers for the last months.
Uh last month, they actually claimed the economy lost 33,000 jobs.
Well, ADP is reporting that the economy added 105,000 jobs.
But here's the best part of the report with an annualized wage gain of 4.4%.
And by the way, this 3% growth in quarter two is larger than any one quarter that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ever had.
Economic experts, the U.S. economy grew at a much stronger than expected pace.
Gross domestic product.
I go through the whole story.
The anti Trump story has been that we're going to have a recession or depression because of the tariffs, and what has resulted is one trade deal after another.
And now it'll probably be culminating with the final trade deal with China.
And this is just opportunities for Americans to prosper.
And it's been a long time in coming.
By the way, President Trump earlier today floating the idea reported by Justin News.com that former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, should be the subject of an insider trading investigation as a ban on congressional stock trading advances in the Senate.
He said Nancy Pelosi should be investigated.
She has the highest return of anybody practically in the history of Wall Street.
How did that happen?
She knows exactly what's going to happen.
She buys stock and then the stock goes up after the announcements made.
I think it's certainly worthy of an investigation.
Now, probably the biggest news of the day is that the FBI director Cash Patel found a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of Russia-Russia-Russia, apparently buried in multiple burn bags.
I'll explain what that is in a minute, in a secret room inside the FBI.
One of the documents the FBI officials allegedly found in the burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence that he reviewed.
Uh-oh.
If you're Brennan, Clapper, Comey, or others, uh I hope you have a good attorney.
You may need one.
You know, the choppy performance in the housing market continued in June, in case you're interested.
And this was my point.
Housing will always be a lagging indicator as long as Jerome Powell refuses to lower interest rates that are so artificially high that he's now hurting the American economy, but more importantly, he's hurting American people.
And we're paying massive trillions of dollars more in interest payments than we would otherwise ever have to pay.
And most other countries around the world, they have significantly reduced their interest rates, and they've gotten in line with the with the current reality of the economy.
And what's so frustrating about all of this is you get, you know, the U.S. economy, 3% rate of growth in quarter two, on top of everything that the president has done in terms of trade deals and what the president is doing with energy, what the president has done to secure, you know, twelve to fifteen trillion dollars in new commitments.
Clearly, Powell doesn't understand the power of the largest tax cut in history.
Clearly doesn't seem to care about working men and women, but these artificially high interest rates.
You know, if you look at the the choppy performance in the housing market, it will remain that way.
And they continued in June, pending home sales fell 0.8% month over month.
It will be the lagging indicator because nobody's given up a uh a 2.8% or 3% or 3.5 or 4% 30-year fixed rate mortgage for a 7.5% one.
Nobody's gonna do that.
So sale of pre-existing homes is stymied.
Uh new home construction will be stymied.
You know, year over year sales are down 0.3%, the seventh straight monthly decline in annual growth, and I blame one person, and that's Jerome Powell.
Thank you, Jerome Powell.
The supply of existing homes for sale has now reached an almost five-year high as more people list their homes for sale, but the extra inventory is not pushing prices down.
People don't want to, you know, that's for most people their biggest investment.
They're not just gonna give away their home.
A Federal Reserve just refuses once again to lower rates to me.
It's personal.
I think Jerome Powell hates Donald Trump.
And yet a divided Federal Reserve making this vote earlier today to keep their benchmark benchmark rates unchanged despite a dissent from two of their top officials, despite public criticism from President Trump himself, the Federal Open Market Committee, the group that decides the cost of borrowing money.
You know, they voted to hold interest rates at a range between four point two uh four or five percent and four point five percent.
That means the benchmark rate for determining the rates of credit cards, mortgages, auto uh loans, bank loans is gonna stay the same.
The decision met strong opposition from Fed governors, Michelle Bauman and Christopher Waller, both of whom argued that inflation is under control.
The labor market could start weakening soon.
It is the first time since 1993 that multiple governors cast no votes on a rate decision.
Although swings in net exports continue to impact data, recent indicators suggest the growth of the economic activity moderated in the first half of the year.
The document, I mean, every sign, every piece of the puzzle is put together for you know robust economic growth.
You know, in the near and distant future.
And that's the frustrating part.
By the way, Axios says today, yes, Trump wins the trade battle.
And Trump is winning the global trade battle with a series of deals.
And he says, and they go on to say it matters because the question now is whether these victories, high level, roughly sketched agreements among several major economies will translate to winning the trade war.
The big picture is the answer is an obvious yes.
All of these countries need access to America, American markets.
And New York Post had an interesting piece on this how Trump is bursting the bureaucrat's DC bubble one agency at a time.
And you know, we'll see what happens.
Just frustrating.
Young people want to get their first home.
They're just they're priced out of the market by artificially high interest rates.
People that want to sell pre-existing homes priced out of selling their current home because of high interest rates.
You know, contractors, builders, they are priced out of building and creating high-paying career jobs.
Now on to another issue.
So the FBI director, now this was a big piece on Fox News.com.
Cash Patel has found thousands of sensitive Trump Russia probe documents inside burn bags in a secret room at the FBI.
Anyway, apparently Cash Patel found a trove of these sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump Russia probe, buried in multiple burn bags.
It's in a secret room inside the Bureau at the FBI.
One of the documents FBI officials allegedly found in the burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence that he reviewed.
The declassification of the classified annex is being done in close coordination with the CIA director, John Ratcliffe.
Cash Patel himself, Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, National Security Agency Director William Hartman.
FBI Director Patel in an interview in June with uh Joe Rogan revealed that he found a room full of documents and computer hard drives that no one had ever seen or heard of.
The declassification annex will be transmitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who ultimately will release the document to the public, and the sources exclusively briefed on this, telling Fox News Digital that some of the contents on the classified annex include the U.S. intelligence community,
what they had, that they had credible foreign sources indicating the FBI would play a role in spreading this phony Russia, Russia, Russia, Trump, Russia collusion narrative before the Bureau ever launched their own controversial crossfire hurricane probe.
That's pretty scary that they had intel that this would all happen.
Who's talking to our foreign adversaries or how are they spying on us?
One or the other.
A source familiar with the contents told Fox News that while it may not have been exactly clear in the moment what the intelligence collection meant with the benefit of hindsight.
It predicted the FBI's next move with alarming specificity.
Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the assertion that there was a coordinated plan inside our government to help the Clinton campaign stir up controversy by falsely connecting Trump To Russia.
And the source who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence matters that have not yet been made public.
Mere days after this intelligence was collected, the FBI launched crossfire hurricane.
It's really hard to see how Brennan Clapper Comey are going to be able to explain this away.
I don't want to raise people's expectations here, but we've been following this story for an awful long period of time.
And there's no doubt we now know, and we have been able to corroborate through the declassification that everything that we reported on this program and on Hannity the TV show is absolutely true.
Axios had, I'm sorry, the Epic Times had a really good point that they made today, and they they point out what they believe are the five biggest revelations from the newly declassified Russia records.
And you know, one is the Steel Dossier.
How often have you heard Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for Russian disinformation dossier?
John Brennan testified under oath to Congress that the infamous Steel Dossier was not in in any way used as the basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done.
This is the second assessment because they didn't like the first assessment that career rank and file senior professionals put together and said it didn't happen.
But then the records released this month.
The CIA director overruled those who objected to the inclusion of the steel dossier, and he apparently said the exact opposite to Congress.
That's another issue that he's going to have to deal with.
The dossier was cited in the main body of the assessment, and a summary of it was included in the highest classification version of the dossier that was used to brief both Trump and Obama.
These are the ICA authors, multiple senior CIA managers, including two senior leaders of the CIA mission center for Russia, strongly opposed it.
CIA's deputy director for analysis warned the CIA director that including the dossier in any form risked undermining the credibility of the entire paper.
Another newly declassified record shows that the committee that that a host of other issues with the presentation preparation of the intelligence assessment.
Again, they didn't like the first one.
The judgment violated six analytics standards by failing to properly describe quality and credibility of underlying sources and not remaining independent of political considerations.
You realize what they're saying is that this whole thing was manufactured and corrupt when you actually look at the wording of it.
The assessment fails to clarify that the plan was just an email with no date, no identified sender, no clear recipient, no classification.
I mean, you you can't get any more damning.
Then they compress the timeline.
And the CIA memo released earlier this month summarizes the findings.
You know, all of this done to sabotage an incoming president.
And then the Obama administration officials push for the ICA on Russian interference in the U.S. election to be completed and released by January 6, 2017.
tea.
House report states they rushed the timeline that gave the CIA director an opportunity to control the narrative and briefings before Congress.
It was a setup.
And then they pre-bunked the Hunter laptop.
That was to put cinder blocks on the scale of that election.
By the way, nearly 600 illegal alien criminals that uh Canadian officials were supposed to deport.
They're now on the loose.
Biden illegals recently nabbed by ICE include a would-be baseball bat murderer, a child rapist, a meth dealer, and a criminal alien sex uh offender.
We're as Senator Van Holland when you need him.
Trump has now set a new record for prosecuting criminal illegals and set a record in June with more than 3,000 felony cases brought against the illegals whom prosecutors have charged with the illegal entry, meaning that they were caught sneaking back into the country after they have been deported.
And then it goes through.
We have another town hall piece out today.
Katie Pavlitch wrote this.
How many sex offenders ICE has arrested in just one city?
Houston alone, more than two hundred.
I will tell you, we're living in trouble times.
By the way, this whole issue of, you know, this war, why the woke mob hates Sidney Sweeney is unbelievable.
Ow kick, Sidney Sweeney's American Eagle ad attack by Good Morning America being compared to Nazi propaganda.
MSDNC Sydney Sweeney's ad shows an unbridled.
She's an attractive younger woman.
Fine.
She has, quote, good jeans.
She's doing an ad for jeans like blue jeans that people wear.
It's not any more complicated than that.
By the way, those five people charged in the viral Cincinnati brawl that you see this woman being knocked out cold, middle-aged woman.
Unbelievable.
And they had all these people watching this.
Nobody but one person contacted the police.
Everybody's there taking their videos.
We have uh Marxist Mondami back from his honeymoon.
He says, Oh, all my past comments to scrap the NYPD unit.
Yeah, uh no, that was um uh that was those were comments just made out of frustration.
I didn't really mean them.
When he said in December of twenty twenty-four as a candidate that he wanted to disband the police department strategic response group, which is the very group that showed up and shows up at situations like what happened earlier in the week.
Mondani, by the way, armed with private security guards, protecting him, you know, while he's in this, you know, mansion in Uganda, wherever the hell he was, hosting in in November of 2020.
Uh, nature is healing.
I just saw a cop crying in my in his car, laughing my ass off.
We don't need an investigation to know that the NYPD is, quote, racist.
His words, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety.
What we need is hashtag defund the nypd.
He wrote on an ex post.
Obama Mam Dani pledged to disband this key police unit.
Mam Dani supports Nobel laws.
Defund, dismantle, wants social workers hired instead.
A real genius.
One has to wonder will this incident that took place Monday in New York City have any impact on the race for Mayor?
I hate to tell you, I don't really think so.
But we'll I hope I'm wrong.
Listen, at times in this dangerous world, there is only one option.
If you want to save your life or your family's life, you must use lethal force.
I hope it never happens to anybody.
You don't want to be in that position.
