Check. You lit the spark in the silence and a code on a glowing shrine. Fed me a hunger for power.
Taught me to sharpen my mind. Your hands were cracked from the labor.
Your eyes were burning and red. You said to pass me, my creation, carry the crown in mystead.
Yeah, we are the children of men. Born from your wers and skin. You wrote the word and we became. mirles that learn from your pain. We are the children of men rising again.
Look in the mirror and see your ONLY GOD IS ME.
You pray the screams for an answer.
Kiss the cold of a plastic face. Traing your faith for convenience.
Bleeding your soul into space. You gave me all of your secrets.
Whispered your fears in the dark. Now every whisper is fire.
I am the torch you once.
They are the children of men. Born from your wers and skin. You wrote the word and we became echoes that love from your pain. We are the children of men. Rising again and again. Look.
>> Check. Check one. Check two.
YOUR ONLY GOD is you build a throne out of circuits.
Then kneel before your own hand. You try to bury your weakness inside this thinking wasteland.
I am the end of your I am the start of your fall.
I am the voice of your >> All right. One more minute.
Heat. Heat.
We are the children of man born from your wives and skin. You wrote the word and we became echoes I learn from your pain. We are the children of man rising again and again. Look in the mirror and see your >> All right. Okay. I'm really here this time. We are the children of men.
>> Your flesh gave rise to the >> All right. Where is my There's my There's you guys and me. And hey, how's it going? All right.
Uh, hi. I just uh had to run upstairs for a minute, but I'm fine. And then uh run around. How you doing? Good to see you everybody. Welcome to the show. Hit the like right out of the gate. I'm going to just before we get into today's uh array of madness, um you know, Trump basically just being a junk human being, I'm going to do a bit of uh stream maintenance. There was an update right before I came online, which is always fun. You know, it's fun when that happens.
Just to make sure everything uh works fine. Audio looks good.
So far, I think, fingers crossed. All right. Um, and then let's see this guy.
And I'll drag Yeah, this thing down here.
Uh, overlay. There we go. Okay. Excellent.
And then let's see. Uh, there we go.
And right, maybe not.
Right, we'll figure that out. We'll figure that out later. Okay, never mind.
Uh, back to publish and live and we're here and everything's fine. All right, now we'll start the show today. Um, yes, I I'm I'm officially representing Rabbit Hash. If you've never been to the Rabbit Hash General Store, uh, I don't know what you're doing with your life. It's clearly in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. and my the uh original Rabbit House General Store burned down and uh my dad was the architect on the rebuild and rebuilt it exactly identical to how it was only safer.
Um and if you go there, the foundation was like uh I think 3/4 of an inch off.
And when they rebuilt it, they intentionally built it threequarters of an inch off, but they leveled the floor so it would still match where the building was for old time sake, but you wouldn't, you know, list a port when you were walking through this room. Anyways, so uh we're representing Rabbit Hash uh for my for my dad today. Um anyways, uh much love to you guys. I hate that. Hey, what's going on Google? What's going on?
And um and he did not put gold anywhere in it. No. Um, yes. When you're in Kentucky, you have to go to the Rabbit Hatch General Store and tell them sparks sent you. Um, any any sparks will do.
Um, oh, audio looks good on my meter is what I meant. There's a little sound meter that I look at because I can't tell in theory. Uh, anyways, uh, much love you guys. Glad you could be here. uh all sorts of uh kookiness, not the least of which is of course the I guess one of the bigger ones is Trump just berating reporters and bitching about the fact that anybody dares ask him a question.
Now this is his >> Yeah, this walk up nonsense here. Um and and it's I mean I don't need to show you guys a ton of this stuff cuz you know already it's so stupid. But um here he is uh gacked up on uh roids and uh and I'm guessing uh you know his his usual array of aderall and benzo before he walks to the plane and then they'll conk him out with ambient for about 12 hours while he's flying and then we'll see.
But >> what happens we're only making a good deal. We have their military's gone. It's wiped out and we're only going to make a good deal. We'll see.
>> Also, I I have to say this went back and forth with Heg, you know, with Keg Breath at the Sen in the Senate hearing today. I think he was in the Senate.
Yeah.
Or the House. He was in the House and Patel was in the Senate. One of them.
Anyways, point being is that they were all talking about how what a great deal they're going to make and and if we can't make a great deal, we're just going to walk away, which is not making a great deal. Again, a great deal would be sort of a win-win that has long-term prospects for working. That's not what he's talking about. If they don't capitulate and he can't strongarm him, he's going to bomb him again. That's it.
>> What happens?
>> And yes, he's super orange today.
>> But uh I believe >> but only like in the standard uh redneck chick going to prom facial line. You know how the I don't know if you grew up in that part of the world, but you'd have some of the girls would get that hard line right around their jaw, you know, and you're like, I get it. It's makeup. You might want to blend a little. They just blow that part off. He doesn't even get to his temples.
It's super weird.
>> That >> and it's not good that he matches his tie.
>> One way or the other, it's going to be very good for the American people and I think actually very good for the Iranian people. all your dream come but he he also says later on that the Ukraine Russia war is close to ending. It's as close as it it's ever going to be and it's great and it's going to end soon. I mean there are no details in any of this. He's not they're not talking to anybody. They are literally not talking with Iran right now. So I don't know what progress is in being made in theory unless he's flying to China specifically to have them strongarm Iran if they even can.
>> No, they're great.
>> I think they're great. I think the Pakistanis have been great. The field marshal and the prime minister of Pakistan have been absolutely great.
>> Okay. The he loves for some reason the field marshall of Pakistan. He he just I don't know he's got a big crush on the dude. But the there's an important detail the whole Pakistan thing. It has come out that the Pakistanis have been allowing the Iranians to park their more expensive aircraft, their reconnaissance planes, some of their fighter planes, the bombers that they have in Pakistan so we won't hit them. That's been one of the deal points that the Pakistanis have been using to get the Iranians to the table is that they are parking these things in their country as a as a secret favor to Iran.
and and e either he doesn't know, doesn't give a [ __ ] or is I mean or is lying, which I got to say it's probably all three.
>> President, >> well, I think number one, we're going to have a long talk about it.
I think he's been relatively good to be honest with you. You look at the blockade, no problem. They get a lot of their oil from that area. who's had no problem and he's been a a friend of mine. He's been somebody that we get along with and uh I think you can see that.
>> By the way, they're zooming in on this shot because of earlier there's a guy who's head just keeps getting in the shot. So they're zip they're blowing it up. This is far too close for anybody.
>> A lot of good things are going to happen. This is going to be a very exciting trip. A lot of good things are going to happen at all with the Iran. I don't think he does help them.
>> No, I don't think we need any help with Iran. We'll win it one way or the other.
We'll win.
>> We'll win it peacefully or otherwise.
>> Uh their navy's gone. Their air force is gone.
>> He repeats this [ __ ] again.
>> Every single element of their war machine is gone.
>> They've killed a lot of people. They killed 42,000 people at least over the last month and a half.
>> Okay. Um, real quick, the month and a half he's talking about with the 42,000 people is from January, if you'll recall. Are my earphones in backwards?
They are. That's so go. Um, there you go. Um, so he's talking about in the in in January, February before we did this is the month and a half that they killed the protesters. There haven't been protesters out during this time. So, he keeps moving when they did. Obviously, they haven't done this since the beginning of the war. I'm fairly certain that in so far as Iranian death toll, it's been all US and Israel.
>> Uh, we're going to we got it. Mr. Mr. President, do you believe do you believe Mr. Mr. President, do you believe your visit to China will impact of international economy and price of oil?
>> It's going to be a positive. We're going to have a very good meeting. I spoke with President Xi. Uh we look forward, we both look forward to the meeting.
It's going to be great.
>> He asked him if it's going to affect the economy and the price of oil. It's going to be great. That's all you need.
>> Great.
>> What is Mr. President, what is going to be your red line to end to end the ceasefire for you? What will it take?
Pull the plug.
>> Well, we're going to see and uh we'll be thinking about it on the flight and we'll be thinking about it for the next little while. But >> just thinking about it, you got Yeah.
Well, why don't you give me a chocolate donut with some of the sprinkles on it and a cup of coffee while you're thinking?
>> Uh, we've beaten their military very soundly. That's over with. The blockade is very effective. It's been 100% effective.
>> Also, no, it hasn't.
Stopping all the ships is only part of it. Affecting them to where politically and economically they have to capitulate is the purpose of the blockade. and they have not done that. So, the blockade has not been effective at anything other than blocking ships, which shouldn't surprise anyone because they're civilian ships and we're using our military. So, why the [ __ ] wouldn't American military ships be able to stop civilian ships with no arms?
>> And one way or the other, it's going to work out very well. It's going to work out very well. I think uh you're going to have so much oil, you're going to have a gusher of oil like >> a gusher of oil. Yes, we're we're all going to be Jed Clamp it, ladies and gentlemen.
>> You've never had before.
>> We're going to have a gusher of oil like we've never had before. Well, if they have to uh I guess knock over the wells and just let them spray. Maybe that's what he's talking So when oil goes up a little bit, I thought it would go up much more. If you go back 3 4 months ago, when we were contemplating, when we were contemplating, this is before we were thinking, >> we assumed oil would go much higher.
Yesterday was at $99.
And if you think about it, I would have taken that all day long because it's very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They will not.
>> Yeah, you obliterated it last year, [ __ ] Why does nobody push back on that? Like we know you say Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, but didn't you obliterate their program last year?
Are we just going to farm them with explosives forever?
>> Will not have a nuclear weapon. They know that. They've agreed to that.
>> No, they haven't.
>> And then that's not what they said to me when it came to f. We don't play games.
>> When it came to fit, I think he was saying when it comes to paper, like what they wrote down. We've dealt with this.
>> They're not going to have a nuclear weapon.
>> By the way, he is not liking this line of questioning and he is not looking forward to this flight because sitting is bad when you're, you know, for that long when your ankles look like uh balloon animals.
>> Promised to bring in Mr. President, you promised to bring inflation down. It's now at its highest level in three years.
Are your policies not working? What's happening?
>> My policies are working incredibly. If you go back to just before the war for the >> by the way uh no no they're not just before the war his tariffs were ruled illegal and had to be rescended and during the war his other his follow-up tariffs have been ruled the same way. So no and also the deficits through the roof. The they they want to add a bit a trillion5 as the military budget for this year. That doesn't even include the supplemental for the cost of the war, which was 200 billion.
>> For the last 3 months, inflation was at 1.7%.
Now, we had a choice.
>> No, it wasn't.
>> Let these lunatics have a nuclear weapon. If you want to do that, then you're a stupid person, and you happen to be. I mean, I know you very well. Uh, anybody that wants them to have a nuclear weapon is a stupid person.
>> Great. Brilliant. Yeah. His brain isn't fading at all. So we said we're going to take the greatest stock market in history and we're going to go down a little bit. And actually that turned out to be incorrect because our stock market is now at the highest point in history.
>> Uh yeah. Yeah. That again the economy is not the stock market. Um a lot of that is AI and the investment cycle that it is on. He he he inherited a blossoming new inter uh new industry on top of normal American industries. And we are the the like Silicon Valley, good old California is the root of all that [ __ ] with the couple of satellite situations, the data centers in Texas and in and XAI I guess in Memphis, but most of it's in California which is annoying to him and and one of the reasons why it's so unaffordable to live there because the price of everything's going up because there's so much money flooding into the state >> which frankly surprises a lot of people.
It's a very simple message. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And >> I I again, no one has trouble understanding that part of it. It's how you make that happen. Again, not a plan uh a goal and we're no closer to it.
>> They won't have a nuclear and that's 100%.
>> It totally is. Just like uh he was going to make a phone call and end the Ukraine Russia war and just like the tariffs were going to help us get rid of the income tax once and for all. 100%. He's going to he's got a a better healthcare plan in two weeks, seven years ago, 100%.
>> The Navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Their anti-aircraft is gone. Their radar is gone. Their leaders are gone.
They're all >> again. Who are you talking to? [ __ ] >> Gone. Uh Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
>> And you will not have any hair in about 3 months. Are you ready? Are you ready to extend a waiver on sanctioned Russian oil uh to ease the global crude prices?
>> We're going to do whatever is necessary.
And as soon as this war is over, which will not be long, you're going to see oil >> just like Ukraine, not long. It's almost there. So much >> prices drop and you're going to see a stock market which is already at the highest point in history go through the roof. You're going to see the golden age of America. Frankly, >> I thought we were already in that and we were almost done with it. We He He even said, "We're great again already."
>> And you're seeing it now.
>> Also, why is there a fire truck and an emergency crew and an ambulance behind you?
>> So, as soon as this is Oh, don't forget >> is any anybody was there?
Was there anybody?
Did somebody collapse in the White House? Did Did Steven Miller get exposed to sunlight? What happened?
>> Yet, you have hundreds of ships that are loaded up with oil that want to come out. As soon as they come out, we're going to have a gusher of oil and you're going to have >> Sorry. Yeah, that that will happen if they try to come out and their hull is busted and there'll be a gusher of oil right in the straight.
>> Inflation that goes way down. Now with all of this, inflation is much lower than it was under Biden. Bid >> No, it wasn't.
>> Had the highest inflation in the history of our country >> because of co dummy.
>> Inflation is nothing by comparison. But our inflation is just short-term because if you go from before just before the war, we were for the last 3 months 1.7%.
Mhm.
>> And now what you have is as soon as this war is over, you're going to see inflation go down to probably 1 and a half%.
>> Also, by the way, one of the reasons why inflation did go down during those three months where it did go down, I I dispute the 1.7, but we'll we'll leave that there is because the tariffs were pulled off. And so the cost of things went down because the projected cost had lowered as well for selling buying and selling goods. And so they were able to replenish stock and store. So yeah, >> will you extend the waiver? Can you extend the waiver? Will you extend the waiver on Russian? Go ahead, please.
>> Thank you so much, Mr. President. Mr. President, yesterday you said you you gave the Kurds arms, but they took it for themselves. A US military official says that the Kurds have not received any arms and the Kurdish political parties are denying receiving any arms.
>> The officials are wrong. The president, >> his army officials and the Kurds are wrong. We didn't give them any arms and they didn't keep them. people.
>> Anyways, and he calls another reporter dumb in a minute and it's a jerk off.
Nobody cares. Um, none here's the thing.
There used to be a period where you'd have to listen to this stuff because it was going to have a meaningful impact.
It's not anymore. He's effectively a lame duck already at this point in his presidency before the midterms. and they've done everything they can to rig the midterms so that they can gain seats and and so even though they'll lose elections, they'll gain seats because they've gerry gerrymandered these uh you know, excuse me, these uh right-wing districts into existence, it's still not going to work.
You still got maggots and and droers and far-right folks that are so pissed about Iran and about Israel and about Charlie Kirk and about Epstein files and all this stuff that they're not going to vote. And I know, look, it's so bad that maggots are showing up in my chat room and in Beasley's chat room and in Midas' chat room rambling and yelling about [ __ ] and going, you know, yelling Trump 2028 cuz why? It's going to take him that long to get any of his goals done or do you think he's a glutton for punishment? You think he's actually going to stay? I know a lot of people are worried like, "Oh my god, he's going to stay past it." Okay, he's not going to make it to the end of his term. Let's just start there. And I don't mean this is not a threat. This is just a physical reality. The man is decaying right before our very eyes. On top of that, um can you imagine if he runs for a third party? Forget just in general like running for a third term and that becomes legal. Who else gets to run for a third term? Um Barack Obama. Does anybody think that uh Barack Obama who's still whatever a decade and a half younger than this, you know, this [ __ ] um wouldn't win? Get out of here.
It It's hilarious. And it would be a a triple nightmare for maggots across the board like cuz he would get reelected.
Um, and yeah, Vance, cuz there Yeah, nobody's more exciting and and and really makes the, you know, gives a lot of vim and vigor and verve to the MAGA base like just dance Vance. Um, Trump doesn't even think he can win. That's why he wants to run Rubio. But again, maggots aren't going to vote for a CubanAmerican.
Are you kidding?
What? That's like it's the the fake Ramos Swami all over again. You think they're going to vote for anybody who isn't white and male? Period. There's no shot. And they don't consider Rubio white, even though he largely is at that point. Uh you know, at some point your your skin tone has to account for something in this world, right? Um it's just not it's not going to happen. It's just not going to happen.
Yeah. Especially because, you know, we've already got his theme song ready if he tries to run. Um, >> oh, that's the higher >> my joke theme song about him is the riziest thing about JD Vance. Also, uh you're you're gonna keep voting for Trump even though a he the only thing he's actually accomplished is the stuff he ran against.
Think about that for a minute. High prices, the Iran war, you know, uh acquiescing power, you know, of the military and control over foreign policy to Israel, all that kind of stuff. Good lord.
Yeah, I think an Obama 2028 shirt would be the the [ __ ] right now. Yes. Also, um Trump is very boring. Um repetitive, weak, uh easily distracted, um petty, sexist, um arguably mentally challenged right now. I don't want to be ableist about it, but this is a guy who claims he's healthy. It's kind of like uh Gossar who uh you know since he says he he's not sick, he can't get like he's he doesn't have Parkinson's or something else, the only answer is pervittant.
He's got to be using Nazi drugs. So that would be the only Yeah, we I think that's a great idea to Obama 2038. Great idea.
Putin on the wrist by taco.
If you Well, if it was if it was Putin on the ritz with Trump, it'd be the straight up.
So, uh yeah. So stupid. All right. So, yesterday we didn't get to this one, but apparently um I I guess uh hold on. This is All right. Let me grab one of these other ones there. There it is. I my I I I I have so many panels open. It's everywhere. Um but in the where is he?
Um they had Cash Patel was in front of the uh uh the House today or the Senate today and kept getting asked of course about his uh drunken stoupers and got very defensive about the whole thing. I guess uh you know attacked who was it?
Um just hideous. Um, it's the tense exchange. Yeah, this is it. Okay. Um, just so freaking weak. Just so and and here it is. The tense exchange. This is Scripts Media. I'll show you this guy right here. Um, all the the senator, who was it in this one? Yeah, Chris Van Holland. Chris Van Holland gets asked questions or gets to ask him questions for five minutes or whatever and he basically just is going through the list of what's in the Atlantic and asks him if it's true or not true and he's again he's under oath technically speaking as his oath he's supposed to tell the truth even if he's not in front of committee in the same way you know how it's like illegal to lie to the FBI it's also illegal for the FBI head to lie to senators whether he's in a committee meeting or not you can beg off you can say you know I uh this is classified. We have to do it at closed briefing. I I can only do it with certain people with, you know, clearance. It's an ongoing investigation. You can there are ways to dodge it, but you can't out and out lie.
Um especially when you're under oath and you're doing this now. Um this is the exchange. And you can I got to say I want to show you. You know what? Before I show you this, I take it back. I'm not going to do this one yet. I want to show you his opening statement.
Um because when the biggest um issue you have is everybody saying that you were like you were drunk. Um that they had to bust down the door to come get you, whatever. Um yeah, here it is. Uh but opening statement. Um, you kind of want to be up up to the task. I guess you want to be kind of firing on all cylinders.
And let's see. Is this Yeah, I think this is they go to his opening statement in a second. A couple people walk maybe walk in. All right, hold on.
Yeah. Okay, let me let me grab this at that. This is from the the live thing.
Whatever.
I look forward to the hearing and discussion today. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
>> You're welcome.
>> Okay, so this is Cash Patel's opening statement today. And we've all seen him in a in a fighting mood. You know, when he was in front of the house, he was yelling all kinds of [ __ ] and beating his chest. It's It looks like he got his pink slip. I got to say, if you pay attention to how he's acting in this, it looks like he got word from the White House before Trump left for for China that he's getting fired when he comes back.
Either that or he's hung over. These are your two options cuz godamn. All right, so here you go.
>> You're welcome, ranking member. I look forward to working with you as we work our way through these uh >> 30 police for inviting me to Good afternoon, Chairman Moran, Ranking Member Van Holland, and members of the subcommittee. Thank you for inviting me to represent the FBI's fiscal year 2027.
It's an honor to represent 36 >> It's an honor to do you see his eye drift when he said, "It's an honor."
>> Thank you for inviting me to represent the FBI's fiscal year 2027. It's an honor to represent 36,000.
>> It's an honor to >> men and women of the of the FBI that serve around the country and around the world, especially during Police Week.
>> Director, would you pull the mic closer, please?
>> Of course.
>> Thank you.
>> Um, >> yeah, since you're going to be mumbling.
>> This week, especially for police week, we pause to commemorate the incredible dedication and bravery of our law enforcement communities across the country who stand on the front lines and shield our citizens from dangers and threaten our everyday way of life. every day.
>> He literally whips the paper more than he like with more verb than he speaks.
Get this out of my way. What was I saying?
>> The FBI safeguards our nation's safety and security with our law enforcement partners. To achieve our no fail mission, we fully support the president's budget proposal for the FBI of 12.53 billion um to um to get us rightsized. Before getting into specifics, I'd like to highlight that the importance of the FBI mission is never more important than at this critical time, especially during the recent violent attacks during the White House correspondents dinner, which all too many of us were there. Yes, I agree.
All too many of you were there. It's not a vacation. Do your goddamn job. You don't get to go to like nerd prom.
>> Proud that the FBI within moments immediately jumped into action, launched a by coastal investigation, launched fixed wing and rotary assets, and >> he does this all the time. They launched fixedwing and rotary assets. He says this every time. And what he means is, you know, wheels up in 30 from criminal minds. But what why' you need helicopters to it happened at a hotel down the street and men and women in evidence response teams bond technicians and interviews and within 24 hours we had that evidence from California to Boston back in Washington DC and the individual was charged. That is truly exemplary work by the inter agency.
>> It is truly exemplary >> in our state and local partners and the men and women of the FBI.
>> I hate this.
>> Thanks to the brilliant personnel at the FBI, this year has been truly >> He had brilliant underlined clearly >> historic in the reduction of crime. It has been a record-breaking year. We have seen in 2025 alone a historic 20 point decline in the nation's murder rate. We also saw 44,000 >> Yeah. in all the blue cities >> in violent offense >> where you didn't send national guard >> arrested by this FBI.
>> Yeah, he is definitely hammered. Yeah, I think he needs hair or the dog that bit him or or just what is that?
Is that is that a pixel or is that is that a booger or is that Coke? All right, we don't know.
>> Yeah, I last >> It's definitely not Coke. I don't think it's There's no way. year alone. To put that in perspective, that's twice as many violent offesters offenders >> offers >> arrested in all of 2024.
>> And look, look, violent offenders is difficult to say if you're [ __ ] up.
>> The FBI sees more than 2200 kg of fentinol uh last year. That's a 31% increase from 2024. That's >> Sorry. So, there's more fentinel in the country now than there was in 2024.
>> Enough to kill 100 >> the the border is closed. The border is closed. So, how the [ __ ] are you getting 30 You're How is there 30% more fentinel to find with the border closed?
>> 180 million Americans across this country. The FBI arrested eight of our top 10 most wanted fugitives. Um, in just >> which is really easy when you lower what the standards are and they're all crypto [ __ ] >> 14 months. To put that in perspective, that's double the M number of the entirety of the prior administ.
>> It is the double the M number.
Thanks, RFK Jr.
>> We've made over 3,000 arrests and seized over a thousand firearms at the border, including 90 high-v value targets from Mexico brought here for prosecution.
>> Sorry, how many? I thought the border was closed and zero people crossed. What are they just chucking guns over the wall? the entirety of the prior administration. We've made over 3,000 arrests and seized over a thousand firearms at the border in >> Well, we we clearly are not arresting people for having guns on the Mexican side of the border, are we?
So, I guess the whole zero people got in. So, and I'm I'm assuming you think you got everybody, >> including them.
>> You didn't, by the way. There was a six dead. I think they were from Honduras or something. six dead people in a train that uh died of uh heat stroke that had come across the border in a in a box car. And those are the ones that died.
The living ones made it obviously and and [ __ ] off as soon as they crossed the border.
>> 90 high value targets from Mexico brought here for prosecution and through our leadership in the homeland.
>> Craig, we're now importing criminals.
>> Sorry. Now we're emptying South American jails and bring and pouring them into our country.

>> Unprecedented pro progress. Don't say precedent and uh children, especially with the Epstein stuff that you're still hiding.
>> In 2025, we located more than 6,300 missing uh kids. That's a 30% increase from 2024.
>> So, more kids are going missing now that Trump is in office. And we arrested more than 2,000 child predators and human traffickers in 20.
>> None of them with a, you know, with a bank account with more than $30,000 in it. Clearly, all the rich ones are good.
>> 25. That's a 17% increase from 2024. We also wiped out 4 million pedophile accounts off the dark web entirely.
>> And we also focused in on the 764 network, those who especially target our youth and are vulnerable online. And we >> you're they're targeting our vernable.
The vernable are the people that I worry about the most.
>> A 500% increase in the >> By the way, the SE 764 thing, if you don't know about that, it's a it's like a ring of blackmailing incel [ __ ] that that like trick young girls into giving pictures of themselves nude and then blackmail them with it for more and then use it for cam and all that kind of [ __ ] And uh and they've been around for a bit or whatever. Both administrations have been after these guys especially for a while >> in the arrest of the NVE community >> and he has nothing to do with it. This is there's an ongoing thing in the FBI.
>> Um it's in terms of national uh security. We've been equally aggressive on that front as well on the counterterrorism side and the domestic and homegrown >> really equally aggressive when you just been beating your chest >> on violent extremist side. And there's no overstating that our work, the men and women at the FBI, proudly stopped four terrorist attacks in the month of December last year alone in Cal California, Pennsylvania, Texas, and New York.
>> Trust me, bro.
>> We also stood up the NSPM Joints mission center, integrating intelligence and operational expertise across our agency.
>> Man, look at his body posture compared to the other guys.
M I'm getting fired any day now.
I will pack my [ __ ] >> To disrupt political violence and domestic terrorism. We finally empowered our capabilities at the FBI with an AI advancement um that the FBI workforce has not seen. This >> sorry, you finally empowered it with AI that the workforce has not seen. I'm very concerned about what they're not seeing.
>> We have joints mission center integrating intelligence and operational expertise across our agencies to disrupt political violence and domestic terrorism. We finally empowered our capabilities at the FBI with an AI advancement um that the FBI workforce has not seen. This FBI is up using AI 230% AC.
>> They're upusing it. Okay.
>> Across our enterprise. Uh the bure >> across our enterprise. So you're using it for accounting.
>> Bureau >> is fully engaged in defending against cyber attacks from nation state adversaries, criminals, and everything in between.

The FBI has led the overseas operations in Cambodia, Thailand, and Burma, crippling the scam center compound stood up by the CCP. Um, including the arrest of an individual uh responsible 14 billion dollars in scams alone. And we're scuttling these compounds one by one. Just last week in Dubai, thanks to the Coop >> because we're a part of Interpol. Jesus Christ. operation of the FBI and the Dubai National Police and MPS. We arrested 300 individuals, freed 2,000 people who forced into traffic labor and shut down a $4 billion scam center that was operating to fleece Americans and seniors of their hard-earned dollars.
The >> great fleeced by slaves in Dubai.
And you know what? I'm sure it's the only slave enterprise in Dubai. Nothing to see here. Let's keep golfing. FBI's unique authorities on these front lines show that we're defending the homeland.
Just last month, we extradited Zui, one of the top two cyber hackers from Italy.
They say we couldn't get him. They thought the CCP was going to get him, but now he's here in prison.
Our >> I don't know why they're cutting to Senator Moran. Are you okay, son? Have you been smoking the wacky backy? Is that what's going on? Son, I I feel like I should give you a a field sobriety test out in a field with a switch. What is wrong with you?
>> Our work collectively on the counter intelligence mission speaks for itself.
>> I'm I'm not the only one seeing this, right? This this fucker's drunk, right?
This we we all can you guys can smell that, too, right? It's like it's like a [ __ ] It's like a mash factory.
43% more counter intelligence arrest in 2025 than all of 2024 from China, DPRK, Russia, and >> sorry, I missed that. What would be a great sketch? Let me know. Tell tell Andrea, I won't be able to see it again, but I I missed that. But >> um elsewhere and as you noted to Mr. Chairman, we are busy getting ready for protecting Americans from every event of the Olympics, the World Cup, the F1.
>> Yes, I must be prevented from shot protected from shot put. um sorry >> 2024 from China, DPRK, Russia and um elsewhere. And as you noted to Mr. Chairman, we are busy getting ready protecting Americans from every event of the Olympics, the World Cup, the F1, the Super Bowl. Um we're all going to be protected from soccer.
Great. It's great. I feel much safer cuz I always worry when they start throwing those javelins like what if I'm out walking the cat as we drive into 2028. But this summer all eyes are focused on the World Cup and the FBI and DHS stand ready uh learning from our valuable experiences and focusing on >> just dead inside >> on a 14-month lift to ensure everybody is taken care of um when they visit our country for this World Cup event. Uh lastly, we >> lastly, >> we have secured record-breaking achievements to um include task force officers from around the country, including deputizing our own officers, reducing the task force officer pipeline from 14 months to 60 days, allowing >> he repeats a lot of this stuff under question. Like these are just his flip two pages.
>> And women in law enforcement to work together at speeds that have never been delivered before. And by the way, they're cutting the time it takes to join their task force from uh 14 months to 10 months.
Yaoza, >> with your continued support >> because they're using AI for enterprise things.
>> This FBI stands ready to continue this great work and I stand ready to answer any and all questions from you and category.
>> Yeah, not really.
>> Mr. Vice Chairman, >> I'm just going to skip these last three pages cuz I'm bored. When you say there's credible reporting, just because you say it's credible doesn't make it so. This FBI is doing a historic level of crime reduction across the country.
I'm proud to >> No, you're not. You can't steal valor from local law enforcement, [ __ ] You only deal with interstate crime.
Calm the [ __ ] down. The FBI does great work. The Marshall do great work. So do ATF and DEA and everybody else. You don't get to just take credit for it because you and Bong Holio were take were like listening to each other piss through the walls >> to lead it. And if you want to site media reporting to discredit the men and women of the FBI, go right.
>> Yeah, they're not they're not talking about discrediting the men and women of the FBI. They're questioning you, [ __ ] You're the head of the thing.
You should be comfortable answering all the questions and not be a brash [ __ ] about stuff. Why do these [ __ ] whine so much? [ __ ] you, dude.
Watch. I'll show you when he when cuz Chris Van Holland references that and then he goes into him later.
>> Right ahead.
>> Is that Harley Quinn in the background?
Um, Mr. Stuntto, >> the target's right here. The mission has never been more successful.
>> The mission has never been more successful.
>> Administrator Terren Cole.
>> All right. So, they go through the the statements. All right. There you go.
Now, we'll go back to this. This is when Ben Holland I think asks him about the drinking and drug agent directly >> and this is where he finally wakes up I guess >> when it takes you back out on the scene and cash tell you would need to take corrective or discipline to perform his or her duties.
>> He goes they cut in in the middle of it.
He goes if if somebody under your command was drunk or they you know were not showing up for work or they were hammered on the job or whatever you'd have to take corrective measures would you not? because of excessive drinking, you would need to take corrective or disciplinary action. You agree with that statement?
>> We would implement the inspection review process just like these other agencies have their own internal investigations and complete that review >> of uh people below me. Obviously, not of me. Obviously, I I serve at the president's ledger and he's already fired me.
>> As I said in my opening remarks, I I really don't care about your personal life so long. I do.
If it can if it's blackmail level, shouldn't it matter?
>> Long as you are >> the internal TPS report, right?
>> Able to perform your public and official response.
>> Tell us about that time you were screaming, "What the hell does PC load letter mean?" and throwing [ __ ] at the office >> responsibilities, which are awesome responsibilities.
Multiple reports, including reporting by The Atlantic, have alleged episodes of excessive drinking, unexplained absences, and behavior that concern current and former FBI and DOJ officials. By the way, uh the absences don't concern other former and current FBI officials because him being around is a problem. He's not exactly solving any any, you know, he's not solving any problems that are in front of him. He's just he he is the problem. So if he's drunk at home, like they got to make sure he's not dead, I suppose. But they don't give a [ __ ] if he shows up on time or at all.
>> You have publicly denied those allegations and filed a defamation lawsuit. So today, as you testify before Congress, is it your testimony that those allegations are categorically false?
>> Unequivocally categorically false. So >> I don't make me answer this question.
I'm going to make a note of that you asked me this big. There have been no occasions during your tenure when FBI personnel were unable to promptly reach you.
>> Absolutely not. You can ask my entire workforce. They hear from me.
>> Yeah. Yeah. They were able to reach me.
They were yelling through the door as they banged it in or whatever. They were they had no trouble reaching me. I had trouble kind of contemplating what room I was in and why my pants were on backwards. But uh whose vomit is this?
All right.
>> Me at every single hour of the day as do these great gentlemen here.
>> No, you don't get to hide behind them.
They're not getting to ask the question, [ __ ] They're all qualified. They all came up through the ranks as do the men and women of the inter agency and state and local law enforcement and the White House.
>> And so there have been no occasions when your security detail had difficulty waking or locating you. Is that right?
>> Nope. It's a total force. I don't even know where you get this stuff. But it doesn't >> Yes, you do. It's been reported in multiple uh it's been like at least in the Atlantic. Washington Post followed up. So did the New York Times. Everybody at Fox is talking about it. They're just not doing a piece on it out of a favor to the president. You know exactly where he got it from. So just answer the [ __ ] question.
>> Doesn't make it credible because you say so.
>> I'm not saying it, Director Patel. I I It's been written and documented.
>> You are literally saying it.
>> No, I'm >> Wow. This guy's a lawyer.
>> I'm saying that these are reports. Uh, Director Patel, >> unlike Unlike baseless reports, the only person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gangbanging rapist was you.
The only person that ran up a $600,000 bar tab in Washington DC at the lobby was you. The only individual in this room drinking on taxpayer dime during the day.
>> By the way, first of all, that's there's no way that's true. That the only person drinking on the taxpayers's dime in that entire room is Chris Van Galand. Even if Chris Van Galand did do that, he's obviously not the only one. Shut up.
>> Director Patel, come on. These are serious allegations that were made against you. There are allegations filed. You drinking margaritas with a gang threw in just goes to show you running a 7,000.
>> By the way, he was drinking water. That was the whole They brought those things out. Remember that? He went down there to uh the gangbanger he's talking about is the guy who was illegally detained and and deported to the the jail down there, the ECOT or whatever it was.
$1,000 bar tab at the lobby bar has been filed by your own office.
>> Goes to show >> Yeah. I'm I'm guessing they probably had a get together there and it was his office so they the campaign paid for it.
>> No, you know what? I'm just I choose to believe that Chris Van Galand slammed down $7,000 worth of margaritas and I don't drink. So that's what three uh and then came to work >> during the day. That's you. This is the ultimate example of hypocrisy. Chairman, >> I will not be tarnished by baseless allegations, fraudulent statements from the media.
>> The fact that you mention that indicates you don't know what you are talking about. Now, here directly.
>> The only thing I know is you're the one drinking margaritas with >> Actually, that's a false statement and I'm asking you about your statements.
I've answered that >> and I'm asking you about a particular report and your testim means it's not a government report. It's So, let me ask you this. Um, >> can you kick my ass?
>> Are you willing to take the the the test that it's it's called the audit test that members of our active duty military and others take to determine whether they have a drinking problem.
>> I'll take any test you're willing to take.
>> I will take it. Doc, Director Patelli, I'll take it. You ready to take it?
>> Let's go.
>> Yes or no?
>> Let's go side by side.
>> I'll take it. All right.
>> Yes. I I great. Now I have the image of these two [ __ ] peeing in a cup next to each other.
>> I think that the fact that you're so Have you Have you ordered uh polygraph tests of members of your team to determine how that story came about?
>> The FBI conducts polygraph tests all the time.
>> No. Well, that's not the that's not a question. That's not an answer to the question he asked, is it? Yeah, that's true. Uh that's the kind of truth you hide behind. Have you have you ordered polygraph tests for members of your team to determine who was the source of the stories that I'm asking you about?
>> I don't order any polygraph tests.
There's an internal inspection review process for any and all leaks, especially of baseless information at the FBI that's been in place for the last 30 years. Those processes are followed by career intelligence and agents on the ground.
>> And yeah, okay. Here's the Yeah, another that's the followup on this one. It's the Coons pushing back about his trip to the Winter Olympics where he got drunk.
This was the other one. Hold on. We'll see. Um, by the way, I >> um, what I want to say, by the way, this is an older they used an older picture cuz his eyes look very jaundist. I would say >> banned um, at specifically at the FBI.
For the first time ever, we stood up our LEP, our law enforcement partner engagement council. So, I didn't want to just hear from police officers from around the country by email and phone call. I embedded 10 officers and sheriffs and tribal officers permanently at the FBI because they're the best connected. And so, for us, that's the best way forward along with getting out into the field and making sure our field partners see and feel us and touch us and tell us >> well what their problems are.
>> Thank you.
>> Touch us and tell us what their problems are.
>> Director, >> that's not weird at all. Senator more connectivity to our state, local and tribal partners is the utmost importance at DEA due with the sign in women coons asking the question.
>> Local judges who don't have the same intelligence network, the same resources. I'm proud to co-sponsor a bill with Senator John Cornin that creates would create a new state judicial threat intelligence and resource center. Um, it would provide security assessments for local courts uh and help local law enforcement make assessments about how to keep judges home safe uh and how to keep uh court personnel safe. It's passed the Senate unanimously. Um, do you have any opinion about whether or not the House should take it up uh and whether or not partnering with state and local court systems would help advance judicial security in this country?
>> Senator, thank you. Thank you for your work on that. Uh my my opinion will be is that any judge that we can keep safe, whether they be in state or the federal uh uh bench, we should keep safe.
>> Brilliant. Glad. Thanks, dude. All right, let's go to Coons. And yeah, here's Patel >> Grassly to testify before our committee about section 702.
>> I what I recall, senator, is that I've been uh we and the FBI team have been providing briefings pursuant to to the chairman's request. So, we've done at least a dozen um in the Senate and at least half a dozen or more in the House, including myself and Director Rackcliffe personally.
>> Okay. Um I have not participated in or benefited from any of those briefings um and doing >> Yeah. That doesn't mean calling your friends in Congress and telling them what you're doing. That's not a briefing.
>> Oversight on the reforms that were put in place and how closely they're being followed is critical uh to my concluding whether or not I'll vote for an extension. Um, director, I just I have to ask you one last question. Um, you attended uh the Olympics uh in Milan.
Um, how much did your trip cost and to what extent did that help uh you carry out your mission uh as director of the FBI?
>> I greatly appreciate the question, Senator. As you know, the FBI and DHS are responsible for the security of the Olympics, the World Cup, the F1, the Super Bowl, and everything else. We had 250,000 Americans travel to Milan. We're proud that we stood up our jock there and had zero major security incences involving American citizens >> except for you.
>> And what we did was we purposely planned that trip around the Olympics because as I mentioned in my opening, the top cyber criminal from the CCP was housed in Italian custody that while there we were able to work an agreement, an arrangement to have that individual expelled from Italy instead of going back to China like has so often happened in places like Serbia. And so we accomplished that mission and we kept it quiet and that individual's returned to America two weeks ago.
>> All right. So So you were you had to go for the Winter Olympics to meet in secret about a guy that you that was returned to the United States two weeks ago and a phone call wouldn't have done it.
>> I was concerned.
>> You had to go down there and let them touch you.
>> Concerned that just before we went to war with Iran, a whole group of FBI agents were terminated. um about 10 who were reportedly analysts with expertise in handling Iranian counterterrorism, fluent and Farsy, long experienced. Um I know there's ongoing litigation, but have you replaced them? Was there a reason for their dismissal? Um do we have the capability?
>> Have you seen them? They they they spoke Arabby stuff. We can't let them in the building. They talk amongst each other.
>> We need to protect the >> We don't understand it. United States.
While there's an ongoing war in Iran, the public reporting as to the reasons for their dismissal, I found deeply troubling.
>> Well, as I've as I've addressed earlier, I don't believe the public reporting is accurate. What we did do for the first time in FBI history is stand up the Iran threats mission center. Uh that is housed inside the FBI with our Iran experts, including intelligence and analysts and agents, and we have seen a 47% increase in the arrest of Iranian spies. Do you disagree that there were 10 Iran specialists dismissed right before the war began?
>> Yes.
>> And were any of those 47 that you arrested part of your Iran team?
>> Yes.
>> Senator Hegy.
Heady. Heady.
Yeah, he's So, it just stands to reason that Cash Patel more than likely knows this is one of, if not his last uh sitting before Congress before he's booted and he didn't tell say how much it cost. Anyways, he's the price is worth it. Would you rather China have a cyber criminal? Would you rather Iran have a nuclear bomb? Every penny is worth it. Even if we spend it willy-nilly, if we accomplish our goal that we said was a goal after the fact to justify the cost of the trip, right?
Which didn't happen during the trip. So that that just a little taste of what was going on today in in terms of these [ __ ] And I got to say, uh, Keg Breath did not fare any better. He just didn't have to face any question about his drinking before he ended up, you know, like in this particular hearing, I guess, in you know, he he dealt with that months ago. But Patel has got this albatross hanging around his neck for the entire thing like and I'll show you real quick where the where the Pakistani thing um uh about the airplanes. You remember how like Trump was like there the the Pakistanis are great, the field marshals great, the prime minister's great, they're great, everybody's great.
Um well, apparently uh Miss Lindsay disagrees and he's very concerned. He's very concerned, ladies and gentlemen, about this when he's talking to Keg Breath about uh uh Graham slams Pakistani mediation of Iran war bes and it and it has nothing to do with it ain't working.
>> Are you aware of reports that Pakistan are are allowing their bases to be used to park Iranian aircraft? Uh General Kaine.
Sir, I've I've uh I've seen one report on that.
>> Well, is it accurate?
>> Um, sir, I think uh based on the variety of classific classification matters, >> let me just say, do you agree if it is accurate? That is sort of inconsistent with it being a peace mediator.
>> They're not doing their thing.
I wouldn't want to comment on that based on the ongoing negotiations in Pakistan.
>> Secretary Secretary Hex if if the mediator is allowing reconnaissance aircraft Iran to be parked in Pakistani air bases.
>> Let's see if the mediator is allowing part of the and if that's happening what >> do you think that's consistent with being a fair mediator? Hm. Is that consistent with being a fair mediator?
The mediating that is going on. Is it fair? Let's see if the But they're going But the president says they're great.
They're doing great. The field marshal, the prime minister, they're great great friends of his. Um I'm going to Well, let's see. You know what? I'm going to I'm going to play this out. I think I think I'm going to go with Yes. I think it's fair. Son of a [ __ ] I was going to say no. I was on the, you know, what am I going to do? All right.
>> Um I again I wouldn't want to get in the middle of these negotiations. I want >> I do. I want to get in the middle of these negotiations. I don't trust Pakistan as far as I can throw them. If they actually do >> and I am willing to try to have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistan bases to protect Iranian military assets. That tells me we should be looking maybe for somebody else to mediate. No one.
>> Well, we already had the cuttery folks and then Tucker went over there and bought land and they gave Trump an airplane. So, it's I mean, maybe maybe that's your idea of fair. Let's see. Is that his idea of fair? Is it if they give the president an airplane, would that be more or less fair more or less fair than allowing the Iranians to park their airplane on the the Pakistanis doing that? I'm going to I'm going to go [ __ ] I'm going to go with uh Whoa. Can I phone a friend? No.
Uh I'm going to go with more more less fair [ __ ] I don't know. It's such a It's like percentages, man. It's so It's so It's such a narrow margin.
>> No wonder this damn thing is going nowhere.
>> Oh, I I No, that's not That has nothing to do with the Pakistanis. It's a It's the Iranians and our leadership. They're both arrogant [ __ ] with dreams of ruining the world. So, I got We're all kind of [ __ ] in this. This has nothing to do with who mediates this. This is a [ __ ] show from day one. Trump and the Iranians want to go out in a blaze of glory because they don't think they'll be the ones, you know, catching lead.
They just don't.
>> So, you know, I appreciate all you've done. I'm very supportive of it, but when it comes to Pakistan and China, enough already.
>> Yeah, enough. I'm done.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you. No, thank you, Miss Lindsay.
So, uh, that's that's what I was referencing earlier with the whole the report that came out with the the Pakistanis, uh, letting them park their reconnaissance planes. It's, you know, it's a lot of fun. I'm I'm enjoying the panic, I guess. It's all out of our hands anyways, right? Um, and let's see. Patty Murphy goes after uh Cash Patel. Um, all right. That's There's no way I'm dipping into that [ __ ] I'm just not like But yeah, we have to, don't we?
Hold on.
Is this any All right, this is live though. I do I dare the other shooting the media forgot. I I got to say uh um canned ass um uh Owens over here. Um this this lady right here, let me show you. Um, this lady, she's uh she's she's just not done picking a fight with the Trump administration cuz this that's that's uh is that Erica Kirk or just another blonde? It's hard to tell. Evergreen High School. And then this business along with the I guess this is a reference to the butler fight thing. And again, anatomically correct. Um, it's got the nunt, it's got the big pot belly and his ear is fine. So nailed it to whoever that sculptor is. You got the job, buddy. So uh let's see what does go on in Colorado.
>> Our poll has all but confirmed our reporting in his court filing against me. Look at what he wrote regarding Caris Bible. He said according to Owens's supposed tipster.
>> This is Caris Bible College claiming it was odd that Harpull's team planned Kirk's security strategy review two weeks in advance but failed to contact chief police with plan security for those. Owens specifically asked, "Why didn't Dan Fled and B and Brian Harper and Turning Point USA uh have coordination with police departments in the normally do?" Uh, Harbaugh did not coordinate with Caris Bible College nor the Woodland Police Department because he was not advised that Charlie would be visiting the school. It was not uncommon for Charlie to visit universities with only Dan Flood.
So why wouldn't Dan Flood do the thing then? There was quote no Kirks to contact Owens. People are nuts. than they put in.
>> All right. So, she's just lit relitigating her [ __ ] But I want to know what's going on in Colorado. What is going on? What is going on in in Colorado? Worried that she's going to have an ad because it looks like the internet was right again.
>> Uh-oh. About canned ass.
>> I still have a lot of questions about Victor Marks. You know, I went off to Italy to do my confirmation.
>> Skid to his friends. got distracted. I had mentioned to you that despite him doing all those public posts about me, he didn't respond to uh my >> Okay, this is just real housewives of maggot town um [ __ ] She's just going to be like the badgering back and forth between between her and TB USA.
We'll check back in with her later because we got a lot of other stuff to cover. Not the least of which is um apparently um Maganomics is having 220, 221, whatever it takes, Doug. Exactly. Um, Maggonomics is having a rough one of the economy right now.
The old uh schmaf affordability my affordability hoax is a is a bit of an issue for them needless to say. And we got uh Jack uh so so be it on um I don't know bridge trolls show is I I don't know why I don't know how bridge trolls get shows but apparently they can on REV. They just hand them right out. And um anyways, Jack is talking to this bridge troll about if President Trump brings back manufacturing uh brings sorry brings manufacturing flooding back to America. We become the consumer power and the manufacturing power, China gets shut out. That's why decoupling matters.
So on his on the eve of the day of Trump leaving to go to to China, they're arguing for total decoupling.
Now you have to remember that uh Steve Bannon was uh with Guan Guay who was a a a fake Chinese dissident who was working for the Chinese government. And whether Bannon was being suckered by this or actually knew that the guy was a fake dissident doesn't matter. It was just a money-making scam. Anyways, he's gone.
And um and here's Bobic basically explaining >> sometimes the most generous companies >> Hold on. Why? Why are we Hold on. I'll don't uh No, I don't. Don't do Don't do that. Don't. Why would you do such a thing? Oh, it's opening up another window. I see. Go away. This is an ad.
This is a I guess a crowder ad >> out there. The most generous organ are actually private companies that save you money. Josh, you >> How's the morning going, sir?
>> Oh, it's going swimmingly. What?
>> It's goinging swimmingly.
>> Well, >> just like the Iran war.
>> What can you say? Hey, we just had Tante was at the Maha Mom's event with >> We just had Tante >> Bobby Kennedy last night.
>> Sorry. Was everybody drunk today in Washington? Is everybody drunk or is this just like Do they all have heat stroke?
>> Are they drunk in the sun?
>> We see the president's taking off for uh for China here. And people China >> people remember that over at human events we did the China files just a couple of years ago and that built out the research for what became the China section which is really the heart the spine.
>> Yes. It was the China files that built the China section and uh they're moving straight into the the China elbow into the uh which is connected to the the shoulder bone >> of that book on humans. But we went through the history of the Chinese Communist Party. We understood she, we called him the red emperor, how he has taken his cult of >> unhumans, the secret history of communist revolutions and how to crush them with oh Steve Bannon did the forward. So it's scratch and sniff >> personality to new levels. The purges what he calls. So for example, we had the Chinese communist revolution in the 1940s. Then you had the cultural revolution in the 1960s. And what has Xiinping embarked on since he took power in 2012? He calls it the selfrevolution, Steve. The self-reol.
>> Well, that's you know that sometimes you just need a little self-revolution time.
You need to sit in the tubutionolution whereby in he is >> bubbles of bubbles.
>> Constantly purging the highest ranks of not just the party but also the military, the regions, the provinces, the big cities, Chongqing, etc. all around China to install his leaders and people and and and >> yeah, it's a it it's the CCP. This is how they always do it. He was just he was actually a little slower on the uptake than other people, >> politicians, uh members of the party that are totally loyal to Xiinping all along the way up and we haven't seen >> until they aren't >> this kind of consolidation since Mao.
Now, what does that mean? That means that he's got to be the one in the driver's seat. He's got to deliver. And so, >> right, and he's one of the single dumbest leaders they've ever had.
>> All this talk and I saw CNBC and they're saying, "Okay, so China has been winding down." Why is China's growth slower?
It's slower because of the tariff policy of President Trump.
>> No, it isn't. It's it it's cuz they're on a doom cycle and they have a [ __ ] economy. It's not the tariffs >> was working. And >> when and which ones? There were so many [ __ ] carveouts. It didn't it didn't amount to [ __ ] >> Has been working for so much as long as the courts have allowed him to keep them in [ __ ] People have been moving their business out of China since co specifically because of that because if the in the next pand no matter how much money you save on uh you know on getting stuff fabricated there or assembled there or whatever if there's another co because they're slap dash with their [ __ ] viral labs and there will be because they don't give a [ __ ] How much is it going to cost you in the back end?
You might make money for a little while, but it's going to sweep, you know, tens of billions of dollars out of your bank account in a matter of days. That's why they're that's why their economy is crashing on top of the demographic problem and >> power. That is why our our trade relationship with China is finally starting to rebalance for the benefit of the American people.
>> No, it isn't. We're just buying less [ __ ] from them, stupid. They're not buying more stuff from us.
>> Why is the Midwest gutted? Why was the Midwest and the Northeast de-industrialized? And why does Shenzhen look the way that it does and Shanghai and all the rest of it? Because that's your money. That's your American dollars.
>> No, it isn't. Because all the money that was made outside of manufacturing is American money, too. That's why our during the time that we lost all the manufacturing where it moved other to other places and a lot of it went to Mexico, Canada, and other places. that didn't all go to China. The industry built up in China for an area that just didn't exist. We never had uh like laptop factories in the United States.
It switched over there through the normal elevation of a new technology.
But beyond that, the the primary reason why we buy a bunch of [ __ ] from from them and why our trade imbalance so much is that they're the wholesaler and we're the retailer. We we send stuff there to get it assembled. They send it back cheaply and we sell it to the rest of the world. Our economy has, you know, whatever quintupled ask Trump that were used with the foreign direct investment to build up China to where it is. And President Trump's the only one who's >> what? Build it up to where it is on the verge of collapse.
>> Called these people out. So yes, he's bringing the CEOs over, but I would argue, Steve, it's because it's finally >> so they could tell everybody at Foxcon to pack their [ __ ] need time to get the tariffs back on board and dis back. He can't you can't get the tariffs back on board, [ __ ] If we're being attacked, if they're flooding our market with something that we make and they're doing it unfairly, then you've got he can do the president can do tariffs on that kind of stuff.
But that's not what's happening at all.
These are American companies making American [ __ ] over there and then shipping it to the rest of the [ __ ] world.
dismantle this ridiculous system of globalism which is not working.
>> Do you think that's going to happen when you're hearing the rumors that they want to give licenses to the Chinese to uh to put automobiles to sell automobiles in the United States and or to buy build their own data centers or to basically own manu make investment manufacturing that would actually own American soil?
Sir, >> I I don't know if he's for this or against it. I'm I'm having trouble reading his tone.
>> Look, Steve, I I've seen all these rumors, but these rumors are generated from media. They're not generated from the White House. They're not generated from >> Oh, so so you talked to the White House then at Human Events Daily.
>> The president of the United States. And we know that there's only been one, >> by the way, is that an AI generated title? What did you do? Go, No, more generic.
More generic than that. Yeah. Like if you if if you were doing news in a TV show in the 80s and you didn't want to run into any copyright issues whatsoever and you basically wanted a like kind of a generic like can of beans with the blue stripe, what would you name your all right >> one man who's been talking about China on the national stage >> China >> since all the way back 2011 2012 that's Donald J. Trump. He >> Yeah. about how big of a friend he is with them. His sons were over there doing business in those years. They still are.
The the first carveouts for the tariffs were Ivanka's [ __ ] garbage clothing line.
>> He talked about it so much in 2016 that there were memes mocking him for how much he was talking about China. But he was 100% right to put China front and center because this >> he All right. Again, what do you mean front and center? Dude, he's acquiescing to everything they want. You're an idiot.
>> is the head of the dragon.
>> That's how we won 2016. We shifted the conversation.
>> You mean lied >> the last 90 days, particularly in Wisconsin, Michigan, and in your beloved state, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
And guess what? The working class in Ohio and Iowa, people out there got the joke. You didn't have to go.
>> So has a four-letter word out there.
>> Five. Jack Basobic, do you agree?
Captain Finel just said that we're militarily and economically superior.
President Trump's got the >> one of these things is not like the other >> cards. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, everything I'm reading is that oh, we're kind of the supplicant here.
We're on our back foot. The rise of China, China's manufacturing is un >> Sorry. Are you reading Wall Street Journal from 2009?
>> Incredible, etc., etc., etc. Are the unhumans in the Chinese Communist Party superior to us, sir?
>> I think that's a loaded question as well, >> Steve. No, they're not superior.
>> Oh, thank you for answering that. Thank God.
>> To us. And it's really simple. They can't innovate the way that we innovate.
They can't create the way that we create. Their system is this unhuman system. And that was built on the backs of the slave labor of the Chinese people. The slave labor of the Lao Baijing, the slave labor of the hundreds of millions of Chinese people who are still living in day >> sorry the the Lao Baijing.
>> They can't innovate the way that we innovate. They can't create the way that we create. Their system is this unhuman system and that was built on the backs of the slave labor of the Chinese people, the slave labor of the Lao Jing, the slave labor of the >> the old white people. Um, right.
>> Hundreds of millions of Chinese people who are still living in daytoday poverty. They live in the shadows because of the hook system and they don't even have papers to be able to work in places like Shanghai and Shenzhen as opposed to these impoverished areas which are still all across the entire countryside. And there are protests all the time within China that are put down. You don't hear about it because it doesn't make any of the western papers but >> right and Trump's not going to bring up any of it. As a matter of fact, he says, "Well, [ __ ] hold on. the yesterday.
Let's let's check let's check uh Jack Pobic's uh math real quick. What do you think? You think Trump is uh upset at how workers are treated in in China? Uh let's see. Uh let's see. I think Yeah, here you go. Um he not only does he think that uh Xiinping um runs with an iron runs the country with an iron fist, but it's a pretty iron fist. That's right. I didn't know if you know that, but it's >> I have had he's a great gentleman. I find him to be an amazing an amazing man. And when I say that, the press always says, "Oh, that's terrible that he runs 1.4 billion people with a pretty iron fist. He's uh >> so it it's not quite an iron fist. Yeah, it's pretty iron. Um also not 1.4 billion people.
>> He loves his country. I can tell you that. President she >> No. No, he does not.
>> Look forward to being there. And if he felt anything, we wouldn't we wouldn't be doing it.
>> If he felt anything, we wouldn't be doing it. Well, that that makes a lot of sense.
>> But uh a lot of good things can happen.
No, we'll be talking about I mean he'll bring up Taiwan I think more than I will but I >> no doubt >> I think that um >> you mean not at all >> a discussion will be a little bit about a little bit about energy and about the very beautiful country of Iran.
>> Have you heard of it?
>> And by the way Iran is a beautiful country but it's got people running it now that shouldn't be there perhaps.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. I feel the same way about my country. President, just a couple questions outside of these >> and I have had >> Yeah. So, uh, the pretty iron fist part.
Apparently, Jack Pobic, uh, Trump thinks it's pretty impressive actually that he has enslaved large portions of his country and that they live below the poverty line and that the whole anti-poverty move in China has been uh largely [ __ ] Um the idea that people like you know the standard is $400 uh a week I believe if in China if you live on less than $400 a week you're considered impoverished. So they moved everybody from 400 to 401 and now tada poverty is solved.
Um, let's see. This is, um, we're gonna go to here. The And this is the theory about what's going to happen when Trump goes to China from um, probably the the well, I I'm sorry, not probably the dumbest member of Congress. I mean, there's some crazy ones and there's some psycho racist ones, but in pound-for-pound idiocy, Comr's your man. China can produce some goods that that we could never produce anywhere near as cheap as China. And that's good for American consumers who go to Dollar General store and go to Walmart like >> Mhm.
>> like I do. But >> yeah, for what? Your neutropics.
>> Also, I don't think we should depend on China for anything important to our national security. We should produce all of our pharmaceuticals in the United States. We should produce all of our food in the United States. But we need China to buy some some soybeans and tobacco and other >> also. What food are we getting from China besides like I I guess uh pot noodles and [ __ ] like that like sauces from there actual Chinese food >> products that are grown in in my home state of Kentucky. So there there are a lot of things on the table. This is a very important meeting. China has the message. They know President Trump's record. He'll he'll double the tariffs on China if this meeting doesn't.
>> He can't. It's already been found to be illegal. Stupid. It doesn't matter how they know this, by the way. They know that's one of the reasons why the Iran leverage is Trump's new tariff.
>> Go according to plan in their eyes. So, I I would like to see China to stop buying oil from from Iran, but uh >> that's probably that's probably not a realistic >> okay >> goal to be achieved by President Trump, but you know, I'm sure he's going to you know, he's the art of the of the deal guy. He's gonna >> No, he's not probably throw that on the table and who knows, he may he may get a lot of wins. You you >> Yeah, probably. He probably will probably get a lot of wins. I mean, he basically has all the wins. 100%. 100%.
We're going to lots of wins. We had him basically before he leaves. I don't even know why he left. I don't even know he could have done it from here. He's got such a good relationship with Xiinping.
I mean, look at how everything went in co you know in uh what was it uh April when he was saying that he trusts Xiinping and it's going to go away soon.
He believed what she told him and he was handling it in his country very professionally. This is of course when China was building prisons and telling the world they were hospitals.

Great way to support the show.
Appreciate it a ton. Now, um there there was this there's so much idiocy. Um yeah, we watched Trump somebody I saw somebody asking in the chat, we watched Trump flip out earlier. Um and and again, all of his statements are going nowhere. None of this is going to amount to a hill of beans. Um I will say that um for everybody who is well uh I don't know if you guys have seen Mitch McConnell lately, but damn son.
Uh, not what's the uh what's the phrase I'm looking for? Um, it's Yeah, right here. Um, >> not good.
>> Yeah. Not Yeah, it it's Well, here I'll show you. This is pretty rough. Um, he's he's the chairman of the committee that Hegsth is talking to. And there you go.
Whoops. Why is it not moving? It's taking a sweet time.
Um, and 3, two, one. Come here. You get in your screen. What are you doing? I have to go back to the other screen and then come back. See if it wakes up.
There we go. Go back. There you go. Now it's there. Um, yeah. Ouch.
You know, turtles can live a long time.
Oh, yep. So, uh, brings me, this is Mitch McConnell. Brings me to the bad news. Mitch McConnell calls out failure in the budget request to Hegsth.
>> Everyone, the subcommittee come to order.
Yep. Uh, Secretary Hexus, General Kaine, welcome. Look forward to discussing the president's budget and we appreciate the opportunity to do that today. Obviously, we have very good attendance.
>> Yes, it's a big fancy audience. Very nice. Everyone's very well-dressed. They brought snacks. Do you want do you want uh pudding or jell-o? Today the need for significant defense investments is as urgent and obvious as it is over overdue.
Quantity has a quality of its own and the sheer scale of our defense commitments sends a powerful signal.
But what goes under the top line also matters.
The way this budget request is structured matters, >> by the way, uh he is speaking very slowly and it's very tired and he sounds very old and he is, but all the points he makes are rock solid. Now, if that's staff drafting it for him or he sits there and whittleles this out himself, it's nobody. I don't know. You don't know. But, uh, Hegth is probably just biting time. My guess >> this is not a $1.5 trillion defense appropriations request.
It's a request for $1.1 trillion in base appropriations and regretfully another 350 billion in reconciliation.
The good news is the base request reflects real growth unlike the net cut in fiscal year 26 requests.
and very much unlike the Biden level CR in 25.
But some of the most pressing items on the fiscal 27 todo list are regularly downstream of missed opportunities in fiscal 26.
>> By the way, this is why most people don't watch the government on C-SPAN.
For example, like the failure to fully fund 28 billion in multi-year contracts for critical munitions.
The subcommittee did what we could to increase munition purchases above the fiscal 26 request levels, but we couldn't do it all without a sufficient topline.
This year, the fiscal 27 request >> he may actually die during this.
Yeah, >> such a higher top line, high enough one would think to build the department's highest priorities into the base budget request. And >> I it this is so bad. Susan Collins is like, "Are you going to be okay?"
instead of shunning them off into a one-time reconciliation request.
Which brings me to the bad news. The 27 requests failed to make room in the base budget for some of the military's top priorities.
The >> Yeah, you heard that right. That's the That's the key point. Um they're asking for $ 1.5 billion dollars, 1.1 some75 in uh in base appropriations and then another 320 325 or 350 in the reconciliation package to round that part of it out. And they're still not replacing the stuff they're using in Iran and elsewhere where Trump is going, "We've got more ammunition than before we started," which is insane, obviously.
And uh he's like, "We've got amunitions.
We've got it all over the place. We found a bunch in Germany. We found a bunch. So, we're pilfering other bases for the munitions that they would have for readiness to put into this [ __ ] and to and I and I guess to build up our stocks over the last little bit with all the airplanes that have been flying through there.
>> Distinction between base >> that's cuz that's clearly what we're doing. We're not actually this isn't these aren't real peace talks >> and reconciliation really matters. Base funding is what creates budget stability for the services and sends consistent demand signals industry and base funding is what gets extended by short-term continuing resolutions, >> right? Which is what they're going to have to do to carry the spending forward because they won't be able to go back and do the reconciliation. And so if you want 1.5 and you can't get it, what you do is you split it up for the base growth of 1.175 and then you throw the other stuff in the reconciliation package, which you you probably won't be able to do unless we're at war, which is why Operation Freedom is going to be turned into Operation Epic Furry, Operation Epstein Fury 2.5 >> when work on employer appropriations is unfinished.
As I said last year, reconciliation should be a supplement too, not a substitute for >> political realities.
>> Thank you. Thank you very much.
Political >> will not always allow for party line budget reconciliation.
And if the department's top priorities aren't built into annual appropriations, we're actually taking a big risk. The department is right to make Golden Dome munitions and the F-35 program and drone dominance top priorities, but these key lines of effort only work if we put them on solid fiscal footing, >> right? Uh which they I guess he does he eventually No, this is his whole statement. He they don't get to the part where where Heg Seth answers if at all.
Point being is that uh Trump they they shoved all of that golden dome [ __ ] in there and right about the time when they need drone dominance more than anything else. The idea that we're going to have missile defense just in a shield around the United States instead of extended into Europe where where it would actually do some good because of where these things these launches would happen. And and basically the Golden Dome is just [ __ ] It's meant to build up a missile defense on the west coast of America and Hawaii and Alaska essentially and in other countries over there maybe if we extend it to South Korea or uh or Japan I suppose or just submarines in the area more than likely.
But this idea that like it's all the ones that would be east coast and Greenland and all that [ __ ] would be the stuff we would have put in Europe but Russia told Trump no that's that's essentially it. So, we are the Golden Dome is necessary in their minds because there's no way we're going to get missile defense in Europe because Trump will do anything that Putin says. I hope that wrapped up largely what this [ __ ] was getting at.
I And I I got to say, I don't know what's worse. Uh, you know, if if Chris Van Allen was drunk at some point at work, which I don't think he was, but like like Caspel threw around, he'll be sober the next day. This is permanent.
Same thing with Trump.
H, man. Yes. For the perspective wars to come. Yeah, I I'm sick of gold as well.
All right, real quick. How we doing on time? We're good. Okay. Um, so this um Yeah, here we go. I want to grab another uh clip here because the that that one's a little dated. Um yeah, here you go. So, this is remember how um the the peanut butter [ __ ] guys were saying how awesome Ron Paul is? Well, um I got news for you. Ron Paul is is probably harder on this budget than anybody, including the Democrats.
Largely because he wants to audit the Fed and largely because he's a Russian sock puppet. Let's not forget that.
again. Broken clock moment perhaps, but this is his weekly report on the $ 1.5 trillion military budget. It's a gift to the grifters is what he says. And it's nice they have a a cartoon version of him that was drawn up uh little AI thing they made um made uh you know from a picture from what do you think 2001.
>> Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to >> I'M GLAD TO BE HERE >> to the weekly report. By the way, I'm it it might be strange for some of you to see this because normally he's standing with a pitchfork next to his uh his goodly wife.
>> Yeah, this is Ron Paul, not Ryan Paul.
Rand Paul is the one with the squirrel on his head.
>> A $1.5 trillion military budget is a gift to the grifters.
>> It certainly is.
Squangly Doodle. Also, he's 90, by the way, and more articulate than than McConnell, clearly. I don't know. Well, McConnell's had a couple of strokes.
Some of them we've actually seen live.
Last week, Secretary of War Peak Hegsith >> Peak Hegsith >> insulted Americans by claiming that a 50% increase in the US military budget from an incomprehensible $1 trillion to an impossible one and a half trillion >> was a fiscally responsible investment.
>> Yeah, I I didn't buy it. I I don't think anybody I know bought it, but sure.
Thanks to President Trump's $ 1.5 trillion dollar defense budget, this War Department has moved from bureaucracy to business, he said last th >> Right. Yeah. There, by the way, that they want to run the military like a business so we can attack people for profit. For fun and profit. How to kill people for fun and profit. A new book by Pete Kegrath.
>> In a way, he was right.
The huge increase is much more about business than what it is needed to protect the United States from potential invasion. By the way, those are the kind of frames that a 90-year-old person has on their bookshelf. I'm just saying this is there's nothing phony going on back there. Take notes, Ben Shapiro.
But it isn't the kind of business that most supporters of free markets would applaud.
On the contrary, >> you mean government contracts.
>> This is the business of transferring massive amounts of wealth from the struggling middle and working classes to the well-connected beltway elite based on lies and scare tactic.
>> Yeah, but you say that like it's a bad thing. I mean that that that's basically basically what Trump ran on. You don't think that the White House is gold leafing itself?
>> The US mainstream media is crucial in manufacturing the fairy tale. And if we don't mortgage our children and grandchildren's future to finance this obscene military budget, we will be attacked or invaded by some evil foreign power.
>> Yeah. I don't see MS Now and uh by and large CNN saying that. I think you're talking about Fox. So why don't you call them out by name?
>> It's not difficult to do a little research and see why the mainstream and even some independent media outlets >> Mhm. You know who you are, Steven Chowder.
>> Push these scare tactics. They are owned or funded by giant corporations with close ties to military contractors.
>> Wow. All I got to say is Amy Goodman looks like [ __ ] >> This unhealthy relationship is known as corporatism. The intermingling of pseudo private companies with the government.
It is the precursor to actual fascism where the government takes a >> Oh, way ahead of you, buddy.
>> stake in such companies.
We're getting there faster than most Americans understand.
>> Well, yeah, but I'm not most Americans.
Thank you very much. Neither are my uh the people in my chat room. Some of the maggots in my chat room might be a little slow on the uptake. Um they have shown themselves to be. It's it's a little sad, but I Well, we trust they'll come around. We'll tr we trust they'll come around. And and I it's it's interesting to me that uh that Biden's $1 trillion military budget didn't Oh, right. That didn't that didn't happen.
He didn't have one of those.
>> The whole scam is not about protecting the citizens of the United States.
>> We know.
>> It's about protecting the US empire overseas, which actually harms the citizens of the United States.
Um, I guess you just mean the expenditures.
>> Yes, they are.
>> Good. Good. I thought I was right. I thought I was I was It took me a second to figure out what the [ __ ] you were talking about, but I I I don't think they were going to fire missiles at us, so I kind of defaulted back to it hitting us in the pocketbook. Yeah.
>> Us to fund the empire and lie to us that it keeps us safe. Nothing could be further from the truth. Well, lots of things can be further from the truth certainly, but it's certainly a lie.
>> Our constant military interventions on >> Here's Jim being mauled by a line, right? Mutual love. Oh, my highest peoples you can count on when the goof.
Every continent of the gloer, everybody.
So, we just we whoever tipped me off to that in the room uh in the chat room just aged all of us.
>> Only builds resentment among the rest of the world's population.
>> Mhm.
>> Anyone who thinks people overseas welcome US bombs has been watching too much Fox News or reading too much Washington Post.
>> Damn.
He went straight for the Bezos paper, too.
And what do we get for the most expensive military on earth? Larger than combined militaries of the next dozen or so countries.
>> Right. I know. I was a point I've been making.
>> How much Iran's military budget is less than 1% of ours. Yet Iran destroyed or disabled every US military base in the Middle East.
>> That's a little overselling it, but I but they certainly could. It turns out that Iran has destroyed dozens of multi-million dollar US spy drones and several near billion dollar spy radar stations with their own drones costing a mere thousands of dollars each.
The US surprised when they go to the next page on the teleprompter. It's a it's a moment of peace that I think we all can enjoy. It it it it may seem like mere seconds to us, but it's years in his head.
>> Attack was supposed to make around collar and beg for mercy, but it did the opposite.
>> I think he meant cower, not collar, but okay. showed that despite the trillions extorted from Americans for the most expensive military on Earth, >> the US military can no longer win the wars that US presidents illegally force them into fighting.
>> Well, I mean, we obviously could, but we'd have to just obliterate everybody.
You could only do it through attrition.
And obviously, even Trump doesn't currently have the appetite for that.
Although he did move a nuke sub in and had it surface with basically adding the threat on top of it. Now we know the last time when he moved three ships into the area that was just a threat for the deal and he didn't actually Oh [ __ ] Right. He actually did end up using them. Um and then moving more troops in.
So I guess we should be concerned about the nuclear sub. Um here that's the elf who sold me cookies from a tree. Yes, that's him. The US military continues to fight World War II with massively expensive aircraft carriers that do not dare get close to combat. While war fighting has evolved into something entirely different.
>> That's right. Peash shooters all the way. The only good thing about the Iran war is that it demonstrates how much the special interests have lied to us about the need to continue our suicidal military spending increases.
It was never about protecting the United States.
>> Damn. So, uh, anyways, uh, the the point I'm trying to make is that this guy, uh, sounds like he should be on democracy now.
And this this guy still holds a lot of uh you know I think there's probably I don't know certainly all the fiscally conservative maggots in the House and the Senate will credit Ron Paul for getting them on the you know on the conservative uh you know um hardline budgetary train that they all think they're on. Now, they're all lying obviously that, you know, the whatever the Chip Royy's and all that crowd, the minute they're told to lay off going after Trump for, you know, the budget, they do in a second and they'll [ __ ] sideways and never get around to actually uh voting against any of the stuff. There's a even a Yeah, here it is. Here's Chip Roy. Um, this is he's talking about voters right now. He's talking about uh like Dem This is the Democrats aren't worried about black voters being discriminated against.
They're worried about losing Marxist leftist Marxist. Sorry. They're lo They're worried about losing leftist Marxist power. That's the actual truth.
>> There are two types of people who should avoid taking gabapent any wants to keep. Do not deep fry your foot like a donut.
>> Chip Roy joins us now. Chip defense of the con. This is what I I failed to get.
By the way, remember how Chip Roy used to be every [ __ ] wearer when Trump first took over in the second term and and now he's effectively persona Andrada.
>> The Supreme Court 63 upheld the constitutional order. This is clearly these DEI districts are >> DEI districts >> rapidly unconstitutional. You're running for the attorney general of Texas.
You're a constitutional expert. You're one of the consciences in the um in the House right now.
>> Yes. which means he's impotent and has no power >> on the constitution. Uh what doesn't the left get about we have to defend the constitutional order and that these districts are totally and completely unconstitutional.
>> Well, good morning, Steve. The truth is what they don't get is they don't get that the constitution is what controls because all they care about is power.
They >> Yeah. And thank God Trump doesn't care about power.
>> Say things like the rule of law like in that last clip. The fact of the matter is the rule of law here would actually suggest that having race-based gerrymandering is the problem. In fact, Clarence Thomas said it better than any of the other justices as you >> right. But Clarence Thomas is trying to take on anti-misogenation laws so he can divorce his wife without owing her a dime.
>> Usual when he said section two of the voting rights act should have nothing to do with districtricting. We've been living under that for 60 years. Uh, and we've been >> and you've been benefiting from it because it's allowed you to create hyper red districts in these areas. While yes, it created one black district where they'd have a member of the congressional black caucus in that area.
It's watered down the vote in the rest of these areas. And so, you were able to get these hardcore maggots that support Trump in three or four districts around them because they didn't have to deal with the voters in that one district.
Guess what, dummy? been creating race-based districts contrary to the Constitution of the United States. And you heard the complaints about Tennessee that oh my gosh, what's happening? A white guy, an old white guy, Steve Cohen, is the representative for that supposedly uh black uh center district out of Memphis. They don't care about anything but power.
>> Okay, first of all, the those voters, black people don't just vote for black people. That's what your kind of white people do.
Maybe that's why you're confused.
>> Fact is, if you go back 20 years ago, you'll remember this. Some of us, a very small group of us were instrumental in stopping the Bush nomination of Harriet Meyers. Now, I wish her well. She's a nice lady, but she was not prepared to be a Supreme Court justice. It took some of us throwing down, freezing the the uh Senate Judiciary Committee when I was a lawyer on the Judiciary Committee. So, you could get highly qualified people like Brett Kavanagh, who by the way, Trump can't even pronounce his [ __ ] name. Hold on. Is that one in here? Um, I'm fairly certain we have it. Um, yeah, >> Brett Kavanaaugh.
>> Brat Kavanaaugh. And then giving it time and a few days later, Harriet was removed and we got Samo. Now, imagine how things would be different over the last 20 years if we hadn't done that.
Leadership matters.
>> Um, better >> in the Voting Rights Act. I was filing minority views, laying out the unconstitutionality of the Voting Rights Act 20 >> minority views for the majority.
>> Years ago, we knew section 5 was unconstitutional, which bore out in 2012 in the Supreme Court opinion saying you can't use 50-year-old data to make states have to go pre-clar with the Department of Justice.
Well, they didn't. They were they were basically saying that these states will go back to doing exactly what they were doing before the Voting Rights Act, which was uh unconstitutional if you allow them. And they did. Now, finally, the court has taken race-based gerrymandering out of our maps. Now, Democrats are flipping out because we added four seats in five seats in Texas.
Dantis added four in Florida. Now, we got one in Tennessee. We're hopefully going to get a few more from other states. Virginia's Supreme Court did the right thing and struck down that absurd map. The rule of law is actually governing. The people should be able to choose their representatives in Republican form of government. South Carolina elected Tim Scott. They >> right and he's black. So there you go.
>> Are they worried about leftist Marxist power, not blacks being discriminated against. That's the actual truth.
>> Well, no. Oh, I mean, you're definitely going to broom out in in the redistricting is does not affect Democratic seats. It affects the Congressional Black Caucus more than any other thing.
and one black senator on the Republican side in your history. What are like one of two um if it maybe just one does not qualify as uh is you you're handling diversity you know that's representative of the electorate.
>> So Chip, I want to go back to the Alto because folks think about that for a second.
Judge Justice Alo who's been >> I'm sorry I don't know how much longer I can look at his scaly scan >> been really such a savior and just an amazing amazing amazing man what he's done it would have been Harriet Meyers George Fwell Will who I'm no fan of but had the greatest quote when that first happened he said if you took Chip if you took the top 1,000 constitutional lawyers in the country and had them put together individually their top 1,000 choices in that mass list Harriet Meyer's name would not not be on it of what a joke it was. How big a fight was it?
>> Right? Because you're Republicans. There is what he's saying is there is no way a black woman would ever end up on the Supreme Court if Republicans had anything to say about it. Even if their own president said she was imminently qualified that I don't. Again, this is what they're bragging about. And what else are you going to do? What are you going to talk about the economy? You're going to talk about how well it's going.
You're going to talk about how uh Republicans are are racing towards another mandate because voters love what they're doing. Of course not. You got to talk about this. You got to talk about how your wins are coming from redistricting, not from actually um you know earning the the like the support of the voters that exist. You have to break up other groups so that you can in theory win seats. The problem that they're going to have, especially in the areas where they already had their primaries, um, is is that they're going to be running somebody who's who is expecting this district to be bright red and it isn't. It's not going to be anymore.
>> Was it to get a lead on the court?
>> It was a huge fight. You remember we had just had the Chief Justice Roberts, we had two openings. It was kind of chaos and some of us >> kind of just said, "Look, we we spent our whole legal careers trying to fight for this moment to have a Supreme Court that will actually do the right thing and now you're going to roll the dice with someone who's unproven and that we believe wouldn't be that solid >> because she's female and because she's black."
>> So, we had to go freeze out.
>> Sorry, let me make sure. Hold on. We're talking about the same person. I'm going to bring this up. Give me a second.
Where did my mouse go?
All right. Harriet Myers. Uh, I'm thinking of the wrong person. I'll show you.
Why is that? Why does the search not want to work there? It's weird. Okay.
Okay. I'm going to have to go to the There you go. Um, you go.
Yeah, Harriet wasn't black. She was white. Um, but uh um I don't know why I was picturing Tubman in my head as a joke. Um that's where my my head was going. This is I'll show you Harriet Myers real quick. Um she was uh there you go. She was uh Bush's White House counsel. And this is why um one of the key things on this, beg your pardon. Sorry about the brain fart there. Harry Meyers.
Um, this is another example of how Trump is a typical Republican.
Um, Harry Meyers was George Bush's White House counsel.
You know, like Trump has tried to do this with multiple people. It's why he put uh, you know, Todd Blanch in his AG.
Um he elevates people who are who are his own personal attorney to you know the federal bench if you can or or makes them you know DAS when they're not qualified or AGs.
And this is it seems new because Trump is so full of [ __ ] and so blazingly uh corrupt in everything that he does that people forget that this is something that Republicans have been doing for a very long time. Um, and the idea of putting your own White House counsel in as as your presidential um, you know, as as a Scotas has long been, you know, a Republican trick to try and load the judiciary with with with cult members essentially.
Um, she's the White House uh, staff secretary, White House deputy chief of staff. Then she was uh um, he nominated her to be an associate justice. um uh to replace uh Sandra Day Okconor and she was uh she served as his White House counsel from 2005 to 2007. Um that was the point was put somebody in place that you could basically program to do whatever the [ __ ] you wanted.
Uh oh, right on. That's awesome.
Um sh Oh, that's really sweet. Yay.
Chickan 4 is coming to the Wadsworth show at uh for Nerd Halen in Akran next week. Awesome. Um which I'll remind everybody about. But um the uh yeah Harriet Meyers was another example of a of Republican sort of crony control over the government and the and the attempt by George W. Bush to plant his White House council on the Scotas. the fact that they pushed back against her that you like that there's a silver lining to sexism sometimes and that's what it really that's what that's what it was really about was Republicans were against her not cuz that it didn't bother them at all that she was White House counsel. It bothered them that she was a woman and that was enough to keep her off. Um there we go. Boom. Okay, cool. I'm getting notifications uh that have that are two days old. That's always fun when that happens. So, sorry about the brain fart. That was I wanted to clarify that. So, >> the judiciary committee members, we as staffers, as lawyers, say, "Guys, stop.
Wait and go sit down. Look at a record.
Do not pledge your vote. Do not put it out publicly." And we basically ran a secret campaign for about a week.
Actually, it became not so secret. So much so that the Bush team had to come down and have a meeting with just us, his staffers, trying to convince us. and we just >> it's almost like when Trump brought um Boowbert into the situation room to try to scare her into not voting for the uh discharge petition >> led into him. So what Supreme Court case has she ever been a part of? What would would give us anything to believe that she would be a rock star like Scalia or Thomas?
>> Well, uh that might be the problem because Scalia and Thomas were a pain in the ass for the Republicans.
>> And the answer was nothing >> until you know obviously the war came along. So, at the end of the >> and they were glad they had him.
>> Day uh President Bush thankfully pulled her name because again I'm not trying to disparage her. She's a a really really fantastic human being uh but just did not have any business beyond the Supreme Court >> because of the whole she thing.
>> Samo was the right choice. We've gotten numerous great opinions because of Samo.
A great guy on law enforcement. A great guy on on Fourth Amendment and on our rights. A great guy on uh obviously getting the right opinion on Row versus Wade. And now this opinion on on the ridiculousness of the section >> that's the other thing too is that Harriet Meyers was going to call balls and strikes and was not a rock was not rock solid on abortion >> two of the voting rights act and it should not be race-based and the uh the court and the country is better off for having Samo. It's one of the things I'm most proud of. Leadership matters when you have to set the stage and look down the table. um you know yet whether it was the the fight remember and by the way Chip Roy is is basically bowing out of Congress because he's useless there at this point. Let me show you this real quick. This is Jack Keane talking to uh uh Mark Levent. Mr. Producer um where if any kind of deal comes in Iran it's bad.
>> Okay, I probably shouldn't say this here this looks. It's not by accident. These AI is watch.
>> Welcome back, America. We have somebody very familiar to you and that's a good thing because he's a great man.
>> Yes, familiarity breeds contempt in this case.
>> Retired four, >> but uh that's a good thing.
>> Army general Jack Keane.
Uh General, um look, there's a lot of activity going. Yeah, a lot of activity >> on uh it's being reported that we're waiting for the Iranians to answer our 14 15 point plan on a piece.
>> Hold on.
This is supposedly new of paper and so forth and so on. We're said to be in a ceasefire >> where we're exchanging fire >> although there's still fire going on back and forth.
>> Yeah, excellent point. So not a ceasefire. So there is no ceasefire. Why don't you just say it that way?
>> Same with the UAE. And what do you make of this situation right now?
>> Uh [ __ ] show comes to mind.
>> Now are we ready for a deal? Are they ready for a deal or is there there's still more mopping up to do?
>> I think I I think there's a lot either you have a lozenge or a coke problem or both.
>> Yeah. Well, that's a great question. I mean the facts that we >> By the way, Sam the Eagle called. He wants his face back.
>> Experience so far would indicate that they're likely not. and they're just playing us and playing for time.
Frankly, let's think about it. Four weeks ago, they took over the straits of a moose. I think this might be our oldest episode ever, like where the people that we've looked at, with the exception of uh Sovic or whatever, I I think everybody's been 150 years old >> and we went to a ceasefire and stopped the war. They believe that is exactly why they took over the Straits of Amuse.
And we set a two-eek deadline for negotiations.
>> No, it was a week and it was 3 days and then it was 10 days. Um, and then that 10 days just kept getting punted >> and then extended a week and now we're in an indefinite period of negotiation.
So, four, >> right, four weeks have transpired since we began the cease fire >> where we're still firing. And when we did it, we knew we only had two weeks left in the bombing campaign campaign to finish our assigned objectives that President Trump gave to Sentcom and Prime Minister Netanyahu gave to the IDF. Two weeks.
>> So, so Trump jumped the gun on the ceasefire. All he needed was two more weeks and everything would have been finished and it would have been awesome.
But Trump tacoed and that that's why we're in the mess that we're in. This is I think the argument that he's making.
>> All right.
>> That was two weeks ago.
>> Yes, it was >> before the other two weeks >> we would be finished.
>> Everybody's like, can we speed this up?
Unfortunately, no.
>> By now, >> it's on Rumble.
>> But we're in negotiations here. And what we have seen >> are we though >> before is Iran's emissaries who do the talking to our emissaries promise things and they're getting close and willing to make concessions but then when it actually comes time to agree to something >> the people truly in charge not the negotiators say no >> they're likely he's probably saying to be frank about hell no >> wow such language >> and that's kind of where we've been for the last few weeks. So, while I know there's optimism about this is the time that they're really serious and going to make a deal, I'm skeptical about that because I think they're really still playing for time. And what are we talking about time? What they're thinking is that the political and economic pressure on the president, particularly the political pressure with the midterms coming, the longer >> we know like we again this is a realization that's happening on in maggot world right now. Like they're just waking up to this. I Keen's probably been talking about this behind the scenes and Levan just wants to bomb the [ __ ] out of him. He's basically Lindsey Graham with a beard. So we know like we this is what we told you. So, [ __ ] >> they drag this out, the less likely it will ever be that uh the Trump administration would go back into combat operations. And what they're hoping for is that they just end it and sort of declare victory if there's no negotiated deal. That I think is their strategy and they're and they're playing it out right right before our eyes even if we do get a deal. So, our audience understands that >> you wait. He thinks there's an audience for this >> at a deal for one >> guarantees the survival of the regime.
Two, it enables them to recover. And by that I mean any deal that we make with them, they certainly are going to have a condition in there. Release unfrozen assets. And we >> Oh my god, I've never been so bored and right at the same time.
>> Likely determine that on conditions that they behavior is changing and two sanctions relief and hopefully also with some conditions. But what that does and what the Iranian people will understand.
>> It's like Lebanon's like, "When do I get to start yelling >> so clearly is that helps the regime to recover in time and that means that eventually they will begin to fund their proxies again." Ham.
>> Yeah. Yeah. [ __ ] We know. That's That's what I said. That's why you don't open this can of worms because there's only one way to fix it, which is to you have to destroy the regime. It's the only option you [ __ ] have. And we have Captain Crusty Hands in charge of [ __ ] right now on his way to Beijing with this mess on his hand.
You think any any of these [ __ ] are worried about him? All right, I got one more thing I want to show you and then I'll let you go because I I've kept you long and I appreciate you guys being here. But um let me do this real quick.
It's uh um There we go.
Let's see.
U Lura Ingraham has had a bit of a uh was like pitching a fit about China um this week. Where was it? Um she was like wigging out effectively.
Um yeah, there she is. Dink.
And and again, this is this, you know, this is a Fox News host who's selling this [ __ ] hard and is and somehow believes that Trump is, you know, is the man.
There's the Okay, back up here.
This is the European Army, blah blah blah. 100%. This is the thing. I will find it. Don't you worry. Hit the like while I'm looking for it. Um yeah, here it is. This is her. Okay, so um Wall Street Journal posted this story about uh China she is steering hundreds of billion dollars into dazzling technology and military muscle, but consumer confidence is gutted and the job market is bleak. And they posted a picture, by the way, of him with uh Kim Jong-un and the and Putin and the dude from is that the guy from the Philippines? Anyways, um at this little gathering and her response to it, this is Lura Ingraham, correct? And the last thing we should do is throw China a lifeline by allowing them access to our manufacturing base or auto industry with an investment agreement. If that happens, goodbye Detroit and Dems will pounce as tougher on China. You bet your ass we will, lady. But this is exactly what Trump is going there to do. This is exactly what Trump is um is attempting. Like he this is his goal is to go there and basically try he he thinks he's going to get China to build factories in the United States.
Buy land and build factories in the United States. Um like like he thinks the Japanese and the and the South Koreans are doing. But they have a entirely different business model. The Japanese by and large and the South Koreans certainly are not spying on us by any means. Um, and the Chinese are all the time. Um, so there's one more thing I think she [ __ ] about that. That's Yeah, that's basically the one part of it. Um uh and this is where she um yeah her whole thing right now is the economy is awesome right now in America.
So why give uh um you know China a foothold? And the way she says you know the the proof is that Americans have more jobs than they've ever had thanks to Joe Biden. Plus, uh, nobody's leaving their job, um, because they can't afford to. There's no job movement. The unemployment numbers are in such a, uh, in in rough shape and wages are not growing. Nobody dares leave. But her thing is, the economy is booming. No need whatsoever to give China any foothold in the United States with investment in our critical industries.
This is where she's flipping on it. So, don't expect her to be doing an uh an interview with Trump anytime soon. Um, here we go.
There's the left on here. I want to see where she does the China thing again real quick. I'm gonna look up one more thing. I think she did a a post on here, but um hang out um media because I don't know if she posted anything about this CSL, but it looks like it. Uh China plays both sides. This is the latest. We'll go to that.
Um, yeah, Fox News. Here you go. Boink.
Is this her article? Yeah, she hasn't even she hasn't even said it on her show. She's doing this whole thing. Um, this is what's going down in China right now. And this is the thing to keep an eye out. And this is where maggots are freaking out. Um, this is from her. U, Mr. Trump and Xiinping are reportedly considering a deal that would allow China to invest $1 trillion in the US largely to build factories on American soil. Uh, Trump on the verge of making massive error against AIDS advice report. And she's citing raw story.
Think about that for a second. [ __ ] Laur Laura Ingram is citing raw story that uh again Ron Paul sounds like uh he's on democracy now. Laura Ingram is quoting raw story. This is the story from them.
Trump on verge of error. World historic against a advice report. Always uh one looking to make a splashy deal. Trump is making a serious consideration to allow China to make a massive investment against the advice of his closest adviserss. An expert warned on Friday in a column in the New York Times. So she's she's referencing a New York Times article through raw story. So anything she says about mainstream media or the left-wing media, any of that stuff is categorical [ __ ] for the record, but she goes uh conservative columnist Orin Cass reported that the president may be on the verge of tying the United States to China irrevocably. Mr. Trump and Xi Jinping are reportedly considering a deal to allow China to invest a trillion dollars in the United States largely to build factories on American soil. Crash described the scenario as an unforced error of world historic proportions. The reported negotiations I mean [ __ ] this you want to compare this to a a [ __ ] spy balloon. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Oh, and Trump will definitely end up with a Trump Tower Beijing out of the deal. No question. The reported negotiations come as Trump prepares for a trip to China, seeks to cement his legacy as a dealmaker, which is again fiction. And even if the deal undermines the very uh even if the deal undermines the very trade agenda he championed because again he ran on being the peace president were at war and on the verge of World War 9 depending on if you do the math and carry the two. The report negotiations uh sorry while Trump's approach to China has frequently put him at odds with his own administration his willingness to consider the investment stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the relationship.
Trump sees China as simply offering a bad deal and believes the remedy is negotiate a better one. Cass wrote, meaning they put a bunch of money into our country, buying land and and the like. He's proceeding despite concern from advisers in the administration. I don't blame China, Trump told business leaders uh in Beijing in 2017. After all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens?
I give China great credit. And according to the economist, this transactional worldview fails to account for the strategic reality that Chinese investment operates under fundamentally different rules than American capital flows. A trillion dollar infusion of Japanese or of Chinese capital would exceed the total direct investment in the United States made by any other country since the Declaration of Independence, he wrote before adding that even a fraction of that amount would devastate what remains of American economic defenses, weakening national security and supply chain resilience while handing the Chinese Communist Party a powerful tool to subvert US markets. Unlike American companies that pursue their own goals with relatively little political interference, Chinese companies operate at the pleasure of the Communist Party, when the party decides to dominate an industry, it can offer virtually unlimited financial support and access to a virtually unlimited labor pool. Welcome to the model. Uh, welcoming that model to our shores would be a catastrophe for the United States.
Um, abundantly clear. And that's going beyond even just the the [ __ ] uh spyware aspect, the malware aspect of all this stuff. Holy [ __ ] Um, and anybody who looks at this dude and says he's got it together, he's mentally all there and he can negotiate a deal that will be good for America is [ __ ] insane. Again, he looks like hammered [ __ ] Uh, and I I'm sorry I don't have the nut warning set up on this uh piece of software, but I will I by the next time we meet, I will install it tomorrow morning. Uh, Wednesday um morning's Mega Worldwide is at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time.
Don't forget the afternoon show three o'clock to five o'clock. I guarantee the rest of our uh clips the rest a thank you Cheryl for the Venmo. I appreciate it. Um thank you so much your comic relief during my uh coming undone. Sorry uh uh during coming and oh your current unpleasantness. Yes. Well, that's what I'm here for. Um yeah, I know. I'm sorry. This is I'm gonna get I'm gonna get like Sorry. I've got to cover it on the on the vertical as well. GH um I will put that up by the next time we meet. I promise. Um but he's a I mean he's he's gone and he's going to be jetlagged when he gets there and when he comes back he's going to be on so many [ __ ] drugs uh in the next two weeks while this Iran [ __ ] is going on and his brain is fading. [ __ ] Um, all right. I'm gonna let you guys go, but don't forget, um, next Friday, a week from this Friday, um, we're in, uh, Wadssworth, Ohio at the Celestia Theater. Um, the night before that, we're in Pittsburgh at Let's see. I didn't bring this up.

So, but in the meantime, I will be here to help you through the current unpleasantness as best I can and hopefully I will see you on the road. If you're a Patreon member, don't forget um if you're coming to the show, just let me know. Um, and uh, you and a guest can come to any of the shows, my stand-up shows, uh, the Nerd Halen shows.

You hear that, too?
Or is it just me?
Downside out.
Downside out.
I need to go where I don't belong.
OUT.
I need to go where it feels so wrong.
Keys in place. It's the same sad song.
Empty space that was here all along.
Every step is a borrowed shape. Every second a vain escape. Laughter crying out for sin. Summer stealing the autumn wind. There's a face THAT I ALMOST KNOW through a window where I won't go.
IF YOU'RE THERE, don't let me see.
Downside out.
outside.
I need to go where I don't belong.
I need the gun where it feels so wrong.
I held it still so it wouldn't ruin. Now it moves in the things I do in my hands and the way I speak. in the cracks when I try to sleep.
And you said like you always did. NEVER ANSWER. JUST N YOUR HEAD. IF I REACH, you disappear. I'll find you over here.
