Brought to you in part by the
00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:02.459
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:15.138
Front page
00:00:15.438 --> 00:00:16.539
Of the new york times exactly eight years ago today,
00:00:16.539 --> 00:00:20.143
As congress aims to punish russia, trump faces bind.
00:00:20.143 --> 00:00:24.547
President donald trump had to push back the
00:00:24.547 --> 00:00:27.951
Salvos that were coming from capitol hill.
00:00:27.951 --> 00:00:29.819
And you're seeing on your screen
00:00:29.819 --> 00:00:31.020
This was the front page of the new york times at this moment,
00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:34.491
During the first trump term, congress reaches deal on
00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:37.427
Russia, sanctions, setting up tough choice for trump.
00:00:37.427 --> 00:00:41.097
This is before vladimir putin invaded ukraine.
00:00:41.097 --> 00:00:44.234
We were sanctioning russia
00:00:44.234 --> 00:00:46.870
Based on a lie.
00:00:46.870 --> 00:00:48.872
Donald trump was fighting as hard as he's ever, ever
00:00:48.872 --> 00:00:52.275
Fought to just keep his head above water,
00:00:52.275 --> 00:00:55.178
Let alone do trade deals or put forward
00:00:55.178 --> 00:00:57.580
Some sort of monumental or significant policy agenda.
00:00:57.580 --> 00:01:01.851
This was all b.s.
00:01:02.285 --> 00:01:03.520
And we are learning that now.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:04.988
Tulsi gabbard, who is doing a phenomenal job
00:01:04.988 --> 00:01:07.357
As director of national intelligence,
00:01:07.357 --> 00:01:09.526
She has come out with some bombshell revelations
00:01:09.526 --> 00:01:12.595
And we're
00:01:12.595 --> 00:01:13.796
Going back into a time warp all the way back into 2016.
00:01:13.796 --> 00:01:16.566
Now, we know that hillary clinton
00:01:16.566 --> 00:01:17.800
Lost the election to donald trump.
00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:19.502
It was a big upset.
00:01:19.502 --> 00:01:20.837
There was a major election forecaster
00:01:20.837 --> 00:01:22.705
Who said he would eat a bug
00:01:22.705 --> 00:01:23.806
If he was wrong about clinton winning,
00:01:23.806 --> 00:01:25.642
And then he had to go eat a bug.
00:01:25.642 --> 00:01:27.477
Hillary's loss was shocking and humiliating,
00:01:27.477 --> 00:01:30.146
And when politicians get humiliated,
00:01:30.146 --> 00:01:32.315
They go hunting for excuses.
00:01:32.315 --> 00:01:33.850
They never take ownership for their decisions.
00:01:33.850 --> 00:01:36.052
They never assume personal responsibility.
00:01:36.052 --> 00:01:39.656
And what was the
00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:40.990
Excuse that they decided to communicate?
00:01:40.990 --> 00:01:44.694
What was the consensus excuse?
00:01:44.694 --> 00:01:47.397
The consensus excuse was russia,
00:01:47.397 --> 00:01:49.632
Because that excuse had multiple benefits for the
00:01:49.632 --> 00:01:53.770
Ruling class, had multiple benefits
00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:55.872
For the unit party republicans, you know, party democrats.
00:01:55.872 --> 00:01:59.175
Not only was russia
00:01:59.175 --> 00:02:00.743
Very hatable for the octogenarian 88 year
00:02:00.743 --> 00:02:03.546
Old senator who still thinks the cold war is going on,
00:02:03.546 --> 00:02:06.049
But it allowed for a new theater for the neocons
00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:09.118
To create a new war.
00:02:09.118 --> 00:02:10.453
So the war contractors, the war machine
00:02:10.453 --> 00:02:13.356
And the endless military conflict
00:02:13.356 --> 00:02:16.926
Position of dc had a new emphasis to focus on
00:02:16.926 --> 00:02:21.564
Almost overnight.
00:02:21.998 --> 00:02:23.199
The new inventive narrative was that donald trump only won
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.169
Because russia intervened with fake news
00:02:26.169 --> 00:02:29.505
And cyber warfare to hack our democracy.
00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:32.342
Every night rachel maddow would get massive numbers.
00:02:32.342 --> 00:02:37.247
She would get 4 or 5, 6 million people watching her a night
00:02:37.247 --> 00:02:41.484
When she would just peddle lie after lie after lie.
00:02:41.484 --> 00:02:45.388
Adam schiff, who is now a u.s.
00:02:45.388 --> 00:02:47.590
Senator.
00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:49.993
Went on television and said that there is verifiable proof.
00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:54.430
Let's get that clip
00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:55.632
Where he said that donald trump colluded with the kremlin.
00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:59.035
The chief driver of the russia conspiracy theory
00:02:59.035 --> 00:03:01.604
Was a report from the outgoing obama administration.
00:03:01.604 --> 00:03:04.774
The report, published in january of 2017, claimed
00:03:04.774 --> 00:03:07.577
That russia
00:03:07.577 --> 00:03:08.511
Extensively interfered in the 2016 election
00:03:08.511 --> 00:03:11.147
With the explicit goal
00:03:11.147 --> 00:03:12.415
Of defeating hillary clinton and getting trump elected.
00:03:12.415 --> 00:03:15.351
This report justified almost everything that happened
00:03:15.351 --> 00:03:17.654
In the following year.
00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:18.588
And that's
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:19.689
Let's go back to the front page of the new york times.
00:03:19.689 --> 00:03:21.357
So the report that the obama administration did, it was a
00:03:21.357 --> 00:03:25.161
It was a mine.
00:03:25.495 --> 00:03:27.997
It was a time bomb
00:03:27.997 --> 00:03:30.967
That was inserted underneath the trump
00:03:30.967 --> 00:03:33.603
Presidency.
00:03:33.603 --> 00:03:36.506
The report
00:03:36.506 --> 00:03:37.707
Justified almost all of this, that it justified the fbi
00:03:37.707 --> 00:03:41.077
To entrap president trump and michael flynn.
00:03:41.077 --> 00:03:44.881
It justified the mueller probe.
00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:46.683
It justified the years of media hysteria.
00:03:46.683 --> 00:03:48.851
It practically wrecked
00:03:48.851 --> 00:03:50.086
The first trump administration right out of the gate.
00:03:50.086 --> 00:03:51.821
The fact that trump got anything done
00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:53.489
In the first administration while having to deal
00:03:53.489 --> 00:03:55.558
With all this garbage from our own intel services,
00:03:55.558 --> 00:03:59.462
Is a remarkable accomplishment.
00:04:00.096 --> 00:04:02.131
And now we know.
00:04:02.131 --> 00:04:03.066
Thanks to tulsi gabbard,
00:04:03.066 --> 00:04:04.200
It was all a fabrication from the beginning.
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:07.203
Today, tulsi gabbard declassified a house intel
00:04:08.171 --> 00:04:10.340
Committee report from 2020,
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:12.308
Which was kept under wraps until now.
00:04:12.308 --> 00:04:14.677
The report, across 47 pages, reveals in shocking detail
00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:18.948
How shoddy, inept and half baked
00:04:18.948 --> 00:04:20.917
The original claims of the russia hoax were.
00:04:20.917 --> 00:04:23.453
Quote, the director of the cia ordered the post-election
00:04:23.453 --> 00:04:26.589
Publication of 15 reports containing previously
00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:29.525
Collected but unpublished intelligence.
00:04:29.525 --> 00:04:32.729
Three of the reports were substandard,
00:04:32.729 --> 00:04:35.331
Containing information that was unclear, of
00:04:35.331 --> 00:04:37.734
Uncertain origin, potentially biased or implausible.
00:04:37.734 --> 00:04:41.337
These three reports became the foundational sources
00:04:41.337 --> 00:04:44.273
For the intelligence community,
00:04:44.273 --> 00:04:47.110
Saying that their judgments that trump
00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:48.745
Preferred, putin preferred trump over clinton.
00:04:48.745 --> 00:04:51.547
The ica misrepresented these reports as reliable,
00:04:51.547 --> 00:04:54.817
Without mentioning their significant underlying flaws.
00:04:54.817 --> 00:04:58.121
In fact,
00:04:58.121 --> 00:04:59.389
The claim that vladimir putin wanted trump to win
00:04:59.389 --> 00:05:02.625
The election was based entirely on one quote.
00:05:02.625 --> 00:05:06.295
Quote one scant, unclear, unverifiable,
00:05:06.295 --> 00:05:09.966
Scant, unclear, unverifiable fragment of a sentence
00:05:09.966 --> 00:05:13.503
From just one of the substandard reports.
00:05:13.503 --> 00:05:16.539
Scant, unclear, unverifiable, substandard, or
00:05:16.539 --> 00:05:20.777
Torpedoed
00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:22.745
A majority of trump's first administration.
00:05:22.745 --> 00:05:25.648
This is what russiagate was based on.
00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:27.950
And for those of you
00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:28.584
That don't remember this,
00:05:28.584 --> 00:05:30.019
I want to bring you back into that moment.
00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:32.388
We had a special counsel, bob mueller.
00:05:32.388 --> 00:05:34.223
We didn't have an attorney general.
00:05:34.223 --> 00:05:35.792
It's all the media cared about.
00:05:35.792 --> 00:05:37.059
And there were sanctions of a foreign country
00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:39.562
That we were preparing to go to war against,
00:05:39.562 --> 00:05:41.764
A kinetic part of a major war against russia,
00:05:41.764 --> 00:05:45.101
All based on a lie from the intel services
00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:49.772
Russiagate that
00:05:50.139 --> 00:05:51.607
Derailed the entire focus of our nation
00:05:51.607 --> 00:05:54.710
Was a legitimate conspiracy theory.
00:05:54.710 --> 00:05:57.747
It was a legitimate lie in front of us.
00:05:57.747 --> 00:06:01.117
They bugged trump's phone calls.
00:06:01.117 --> 00:06:02.919
They impeached donald trump
00:06:02.919 --> 00:06:03.986
Because of a phone call to zelensky,
00:06:03.986 --> 00:06:06.556
A fragment of a sentence from one low quality
00:06:06.556 --> 00:06:09.091
Intelligence report of unclear origin.
00:06:09.091 --> 00:06:11.327
That's the only evidence the cia ever had
00:06:11.327 --> 00:06:15.198
For vladimir putin wanting trump to win in 2016.
00:06:15.198 --> 00:06:18.134
But that did not stop
00:06:18.134 --> 00:06:19.235
The entire democrat base from getting behind it.
00:06:19.235 --> 00:06:21.237
It did not stop rachel maddow
00:06:21.237 --> 00:06:22.672
From getting record numbers every single night.
00:06:22.672 --> 00:06:25.107
It did not stop the democrat party
00:06:25.107 --> 00:06:26.742
From saying that the republican party
00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:28.211
Was infiltrated with russian influence.
00:06:28.211 --> 00:06:31.147
It did not stop the new york times and every major outlet
00:06:31.147 --> 00:06:34.484
To drumbeat every day.
00:06:34.484 --> 00:06:35.685
It was a soft
00:06:35.685 --> 00:06:36.486
Coup against popular sovereignty
00:06:36.486 --> 00:06:37.653
And against the will of the american people.
00:06:37.653 --> 00:06:40.089
You could make an argument
00:06:40.089 --> 00:06:41.324
That the first trump administration
00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:42.925
Was largely stolen from the american people.
00:06:42.925 --> 00:06:45.495
Yes, president trump
00:06:45.495 --> 00:06:46.496
Was allowed to remain as president,
00:06:46.496 --> 00:06:48.030
But he had to fight with every ounce of energy
00:06:48.030 --> 00:06:51.367
He had just to be able to survive.
00:06:51.367 --> 00:06:55.404
And we the people got hosed.
00:06:56.005 --> 00:06:58.875
We're going to talk more about this in a second.
00:06:58.875 --> 00:07:00.409
I want you to remember back of how sick and damaged
00:07:00.409 --> 00:07:04.313
Things were back in 2017 because of this, and barack
00:07:04.313 --> 00:07:08.217
Obama was the designer of all of this.
00:07:08.217 --> 00:07:13.823
Lives are shattered in the holy land.
00:07:14.657 --> 00:07:18.094
In an instant, these families lost everything.
00:07:18.094 --> 00:07:22.131
The international fellowship
00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:24.166
Of christians and jews is on the ground to provide
00:07:24.166 --> 00:07:27.537
Food and shelter and emergency supplies and emergency.
00:07:27.537 --> 00:07:32.108
The gift of $45 will help thousands
00:07:32.108 --> 00:07:35.144
Of elderly and families with desperately needed food.
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:38.481
Call it or go online now.
00:07:38.481 --> 00:07:40.550
Her whole body is bruised and wounded,
00:07:40.550 --> 00:07:44.320
And it's very clear
00:07:44.320 --> 00:07:45.521
That zelda is in no condition to find ways to get food.
00:07:45.521 --> 00:07:49.859
Food is critical and so is shelter from attack.
00:07:49.859 --> 00:07:53.029
The israeli government has asked the fellowship
00:07:53.029 --> 00:07:55.598
To urgently place 1000 mobile bomb shelters.
00:07:55.598 --> 00:07:59.168
You can place a mobile bomb shelter in israel.
00:07:59.168 --> 00:08:02.471
Right now, all we need
00:08:02.471 --> 00:08:03.906
Is for you to enable us to buy the shelters.
00:08:03.906 --> 00:08:07.510
My friends, the destruction is unprecedented.
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:10.880
Please act now.
00:08:11.247 --> 00:08:13.516
I'm terry hinshaw with 180 disaster relief
00:08:14.417 --> 00:08:17.553
Since 2013 and the moore tornado.
00:08:17.553 --> 00:08:20.856
We've been helping families in crisis.
00:08:20.856 --> 00:08:23.359
People who go through floods, fires,
00:08:23.359 --> 00:08:25.861
Hurricanes and all kinds of disasters
00:08:25.861 --> 00:08:29.031
With plans to lift the fallen in a world that's for the poor.
00:08:29.031 --> 00:08:34.403
Since the day after hurricane helene,
00:08:34.403 --> 00:08:36.339
We've had boots on the ground.
00:08:36.339 --> 00:08:37.907
It is so important
00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:38.841
Because there's
00:08:38.841 --> 00:08:39.675
So many families waiting right now
00:08:39.675 --> 00:08:41.510
That still don't even have power.
00:08:41.510 --> 00:08:43.279
They've lost all their furniture
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.081
And they don't have the resources to rebuild
00:08:45.081 --> 00:08:47.750
Families finding shelter where there once was only pain.
00:08:47.750 --> 00:08:52.555
Our focus is to help
00:08:52.555 --> 00:08:53.823
People understand how much god loves and cares for them.
00:08:53.823 --> 00:08:57.793
That they would know that they're not alone.
00:08:57.793 --> 00:09:00.262

00:09:00.262 --> 00:09:03.399
Every dollar makes a difference.
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.768
Bringing hope in jesus name.
00:09:05.768 --> 00:09:08.604
Together we can turn devastation into restoration.
00:09:08.604 --> 00:09:12.408
One family at a time.
00:09:12.408 --> 00:09:14.005
One family at a time.
00:09:14.005 --> 00:09:20.085
So much of trump
00:09:20.486 --> 00:09:22.855
1.0 was taken from us.
00:09:22.855 --> 00:09:26.458
Here's james comey john brennan hillary
00:09:27.292 --> 00:09:29.261
Clinton peddling what they knew was a lie.
00:09:29.261 --> 00:09:32.097
Brennan is easily the number one
00:09:32.798 --> 00:09:35.000
Villain in this declassified report.
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.836
He is a sinister human being.
00:09:37.836 --> 00:09:40.139
All roads lead back to john brennan.
00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:43.409
He basically took the intelligence
00:09:43.409 --> 00:09:45.611
And shaped it into a trump hit job.
00:09:45.611 --> 00:09:49.314
Let's play cut 365 please.
00:09:49.882 --> 00:09:52.685
Russians
00:09:52.951 --> 00:09:54.420
Interfered in our election during the 2016 cycle.
00:09:54.420 --> 00:09:57.990
It is a high confidence judgment
00:09:57.990 --> 00:09:59.925
Of the entire intelligence community.
00:09:59.925 --> 00:10:01.527
It was russia in a very systematic way,
00:10:01.527 --> 00:10:05.130
And tried to interfere in the election
00:10:05.130 --> 00:10:06.665
And to try to advance
00:10:06.665 --> 00:10:07.933
The prospects of donald trump being elected.
00:10:07.933 --> 00:10:09.668
Donald trump knows,
00:10:09.668 --> 00:10:11.437
That the russians helped him win in 2016.
00:10:11.437 --> 00:10:14.540
There will always be
00:10:14.540 --> 00:10:15.574
An air of illegitimacy around, the 2016 campaign.
00:10:15.574 --> 00:10:21.780
Okay, so this is what's really important.
00:10:22.681 --> 00:10:24.717
Nobody disputes that.
00:10:24.717 --> 00:10:27.019
Russia did some, you know, just opaque political
00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:30.756
Digital stuff in the 2016 election.
00:10:31.557 --> 00:10:33.926
But here's the part that brennan made up.
00:10:33.926 --> 00:10:35.861
And hillary repeated it
00:10:35.861 --> 00:10:37.162
To advance the prospects of trump being elected.
00:10:37.162 --> 00:10:40.733
That is the mega lie where he threw out
00:10:40.733 --> 00:10:43.869
All the evidence russia wanted to create chaos and distrust.
00:10:43.869 --> 00:10:48.073
Mission accomplished.
00:10:48.073 --> 00:10:48.907
Good job. democrats.
00:10:48.907 --> 00:10:50.943
So apparently john brennan
00:10:50.943 --> 00:10:53.979
And again, that's not in front of congress.
00:10:53.979 --> 00:10:55.314
He's there on msnbc in 2019 peddling
00:10:55.314 --> 00:11:00.519
A grotesque lie.
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.089
And the consequences of it was nonstop
00:11:04.089 --> 00:11:07.526
Media obsession, nonstop.
00:11:07.526 --> 00:11:10.662
And there's another consequence as well, one that's right in
00:11:11.830 --> 00:11:15.267
Front of us, that's still happening to this day.
00:11:15.267 --> 00:11:18.170
Let's first play cut. 368
00:11:18.170 --> 00:11:21.240
So disappointing to look at what we're seeing right
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.208
Wing media these days
00:11:23.208 --> 00:11:24.309
Where there's such an obsession with the deep state.
00:11:24.309 --> 00:11:27.346
And these revelations about the russia probe.
00:11:27.346 --> 00:11:30.449
The latest on the robert mueller russia investigation.
00:11:30.449 --> 00:11:33.085
Mueller investigates
00:11:33.085 --> 00:11:33.852
The russia investigation, trump's
00:11:33.852 --> 00:11:35.020
Russia ties and robert mueller, the real russia story
00:11:35.020 --> 00:11:37.790
Russia probe, the ongoing russia probe,
00:11:37.790 --> 00:11:39.591
The russia probe, the russia investigation.
00:11:39.591 --> 00:11:41.160
But mueller and the russia probe, russia synergy.
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:43.662
They wonder if russia has
00:11:43.662 --> 00:11:45.197
Compromising information on the president.
00:11:45.197 --> 00:11:46.999
What is the source for the president's claim that
00:11:46.999 --> 00:11:49.034
They have found no collusion with russia?
00:11:49.034 --> 00:11:50.836
He misspelled collusion every day.
00:11:50.836 --> 00:11:52.437
We're trying to keep track
00:11:52.437 --> 00:11:53.572
Of the drip, drip, drip of the russia investigation.
00:11:53.572 --> 00:11:56.308
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip
00:11:56.308 --> 00:11:59.211
Drip of trump and russia to see whether trump
00:11:59.211 --> 00:12:02.047
Was secretly working for russia.
00:12:02.047 --> 00:12:05.450
And that's just a little taste
00:12:06.051 --> 00:12:07.452
Of one anchor on one show on one network.
00:12:07.452 --> 00:12:11.623
Multiply that times a thousand for every single day.
00:12:11.623 --> 00:12:14.660
And i only do this to bring you back into the time and place.
00:12:14.660 --> 00:12:18.096
And now we look at trump 2.0
00:12:18.096 --> 00:12:20.165
And we're getting trade deals
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.034
And we're securing border and we're getting tax cuts.
00:12:22.034 --> 00:12:24.203
And of course we have so much more to do.
00:12:24.203 --> 00:12:25.771
And they did that relentlessly for years
00:12:25.771 --> 00:12:28.941
Because they needed to find an excuse.
00:12:28.941 --> 00:12:32.711
But understand that sanctioning a country is a big deal.
00:12:32.711 --> 00:12:36.748
So congress went about to sanction russia
00:12:36.748 --> 00:12:41.320
For something russia
00:12:41.787 --> 00:12:43.689
Did not ultimately do.
00:12:43.689 --> 00:12:46.859
Yeah, they wanted to sow chaos and distraction,
00:12:46.859 --> 00:12:49.361
Even though it was a very small amount in iran does this.
00:12:49.361 --> 00:12:53.198
And the chinese communist party does this in their own way.
00:12:53.198 --> 00:12:59.304
Is the current hot war
00:12:59.771 --> 00:13:01.640
Between russia and ukraine and the west involvement of it?
00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:05.544
Is it connected to russia?
00:13:06.111 --> 00:13:07.579
Almost certainly
00:13:07.579 --> 00:13:09.915
Because russia was the blame
00:13:09.915 --> 00:13:12.651
Was the filler in excuse as to why
00:13:12.651 --> 00:13:15.520
Donald trump became president,
00:13:15.520 --> 00:13:17.222
Which then gave the democrat party
00:13:17.222 --> 00:13:19.925
License to be able to finance the ukrainian effort.
00:13:19.925 --> 00:13:23.428
War effort.
00:13:23.428 --> 00:13:27.266
Russia
00:13:27.466 --> 00:13:28.400
Was also sitting on a ton of information.
00:13:28.400 --> 00:13:30.936
This is page 17 of the
00:13:30.936 --> 00:13:33.405
Now declassified house intelligence report.
00:13:33.405 --> 00:13:36.675
Russia was sitting on a huge
00:13:36.675 --> 00:13:38.510
Amount of potential anti-clinton dirt that it sat
00:13:38.510 --> 00:13:41.947
On throughout the final days of the 2016 campaign.
00:13:41.947 --> 00:13:45.217
It included internal claims that hillary was heavy,
00:13:45.217 --> 00:13:47.586
Was on heavy tranquilizers, and suffering
00:13:47.586 --> 00:13:49.821
From intensified psycho emotional problems.
00:13:49.821 --> 00:13:53.158
We suspected that evidence of severe health ailments
00:13:53.158 --> 00:13:56.128
Like type two diabetes and heart disease.
00:13:56.128 --> 00:13:59.364
Internal dnc comms found that obama and others
00:13:59.364 --> 00:14:03.502
Said that hillary's health was extraordinarily alarming.
00:14:03.502 --> 00:14:06.772
Evidence of secret meetings with religious leaders
00:14:06.772 --> 00:14:08.774
Where clinton offered, quote, significant increases
00:14:08.774 --> 00:14:11.176
In funding from the state department
00:14:11.176 --> 00:14:12.611
In return for their support.
00:14:12.611 --> 00:14:13.879
Oh, you mean the same stuff that we accused them of
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.715
Internal democrat admissions, that european allies
00:14:17.749 --> 00:14:20.752
Were unenthusiastic about a clinton presidency
00:14:20.752 --> 00:14:23.422
And thought she was not up to the job of heads of state.
00:14:23.422 --> 00:14:25.624
So if russia was really all in on supporting trump
00:14:25.624 --> 00:14:28.193
And hurting clinton,
00:14:28.193 --> 00:14:29.761
It would have leaked information in october 2016,
00:14:29.761 --> 00:14:32.898
When her lead in the rcp average
00:14:32.898 --> 00:14:34.766
Slipped to just plus 1.3 points.
00:14:34.766 --> 00:14:36.969
Instead, russia
00:14:36.969 --> 00:14:38.036
Did not completely debunk the core assumptions
00:14:38.036 --> 00:14:41.173
Of the russia hoax.
00:14:41.173 --> 00:14:42.441
Rather than admit they were wrong,
00:14:42.441 --> 00:14:44.810
Brennan, cia buried the info and manufactured
00:14:44.810 --> 00:14:48.647
A completely alternative reality to undermine
00:14:48.647 --> 00:14:51.817
The legitimacy of president trump.
00:14:51.817 --> 00:14:55.053
I say this for many reasons, but one that i want to repeat.
00:14:56.188 --> 00:14:59.958
Let's be grateful to god.
00:14:59.958 --> 00:15:01.626
And how much better of a place we are.
00:15:01.626 --> 00:15:03.495
On july 23rd, 2025 than we were in 2017?
00:15:03.495 --> 00:15:06.565
Be right back.
00:15:06.565 --> 00:15:09.401
Over the years, i've been clear about this.
00:15:10.302 --> 00:15:12.137
I'm not just pro birth.
00:15:12.137 --> 00:15:13.205
I'm pro-life.
00:15:13.205 --> 00:15:14.239
And being pro-life means standing with mothers
00:15:14.239 --> 00:15:16.141
Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
00:15:16.141 --> 00:15:18.977
That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
00:15:18.977 --> 00:15:21.446
Preborn doesn't just save babies,
00:15:21.446 --> 00:15:23.081
They make motherhood abundantly possible.
00:15:23.081 --> 00:15:24.983
They provide free ultrasounds and share
00:15:24.983 --> 00:15:26.785
The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
00:15:26.785 --> 00:15:29.354
And then they stay with real practical help,
00:15:29.354 --> 00:15:31.990
Including financial support
00:15:31.990 --> 00:15:33.291
For up to two years after the baby is born.
00:15:33.291 --> 00:15:35.694
This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
00:15:35.694 --> 00:15:38.730
Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
00:15:38.730 --> 00:15:40.966
And here's where you can make a difference.
00:15:40.966 --> 00:15:42.901
Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
00:15:42.901 --> 00:15:46.138
One chance for a mother to see her baby
00:15:46.138 --> 00:15:47.873
When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
00:15:47.873 --> 00:15:50.609
So don't just say you're pro-life.
00:15:50.609 --> 00:15:52.210
Live it. help save babies and support mothers today.
00:15:52.210 --> 00:15:54.846
Go to preborn.com/charlie or call (855)█601-2229.
00:15:54.846 --> 00:15:59.551
That's preborn.com/charlie
00:15:59.551 --> 00:16:01.653
Or call (855)█601-2229 preborn.com/charlie.
00:16:01.653 --> 00:16:06.725
I'm coming to you with an urgent message
00:16:06.725 --> 00:16:08.627
From our partners at the international fellowship
00:16:08.627 --> 00:16:10.662
Of christians and jews,
00:16:10.662 --> 00:16:12.030
Who are doing extraordinary work in israel right now.
00:16:12.030 --> 00:16:14.733
For now, the missiles have stopped
00:16:14.733 --> 00:16:16.334
With the current cease fire in israel,
00:16:16.334 --> 00:16:18.136
But the needs remain overwhelming.
00:16:18.136 --> 00:16:20.205
Entire neighborhoods in israel's
00:16:20.205 --> 00:16:21.606
Largest cities are devastated with unprecedented destruction.
00:16:21.606 --> 00:16:24.609
Thousands of civilians
00:16:24.609 --> 00:16:25.811
And families have been forced to flee
00:16:25.811 --> 00:16:27.312
Their homes, often with
00:16:27.312 --> 00:16:28.580
Little more than the clothes they're wearing.
00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:30.515
The lives of many of the elderly hang
00:16:30.515 --> 00:16:32.451
In the balance, like 90 year old zelda,
00:16:32.451 --> 00:16:34.519
Whose once peaceful home lies in ruins.
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.888
But the fellowship is there,
00:16:36.888 --> 00:16:38.256
Offering critical aid to zelda and thousands like her.
00:16:38.256 --> 00:16:41.126
Right now,
00:16:41.126 --> 00:16:42.127
The fellowship continues with full operations
00:16:42.127 --> 00:16:43.628
On the ground,
00:16:43.628 --> 00:16:44.463
Working around the clock to provide
00:16:44.463 --> 00:16:45.864
Emergency food, shelter, and critical supplies
00:16:45.864 --> 00:16:48.066
To people in need.
00:16:48.066 --> 00:16:49.201
But they need your help to keep going.
00:16:49.201 --> 00:16:50.802
That's why i'm asking our tbn family
00:16:50.802 --> 00:16:52.737
To join with me in this critical hour by
00:16:52.737 --> 00:16:54.840
Going to ifc for an emergency gift of just $45
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.877
Can help provide lifesaving food,
00:16:58.877 --> 00:17:00.645
Mobile bomb shelters, or urgently
00:17:00.645 --> 00:17:02.380
Needed supplies to someone in israel who's struggling.
00:17:02.380 --> 00:17:05.016
Any amount is needed and greatly appreciated by israel.
00:17:05.016 --> 00:17:07.819
It's critical
00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:08.854
That the support of the fellowship be supported,
00:17:08.854 --> 00:17:11.356
Especially now as israel works to restore dignity and safety
00:17:11.356 --> 00:17:15.260
To families who have endured so much.
00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:17.095
Let's come together and pray for the peace of jerusalem,
00:17:17.095 --> 00:17:19.731
And show god's love to his people
00:17:19.731 --> 00:17:21.433
In this unprecedented time of need.
00:17:21.433 --> 00:17:23.568
Every dollar matters, every moment counts.
00:17:23.568 --> 00:17:25.904
To give, visit ifc.org.
00:17:25.904 --> 00:17:27.772
Right now that's ifc walk.
00:17:27.772 --> 00:17:29.841
Please give whatever you can to support israel today.
00:17:29.841 --> 00:17:32.577
Don't wait.
00:17:32.577 --> 00:17:33.245
Your christian support in action
00:17:33.245 --> 00:17:36.005
Your christian support in action
00:17:36.005 --> 00:17:41.556
Joining us now is mark halperin,
00:17:42.257 --> 00:17:44.025
Editor in chief of two way and host of next up on the megyn
00:17:44.025 --> 00:17:47.362
Kelly network. mark, great to see you.
00:17:47.362 --> 00:17:49.664
Thank you for taking the time.
00:17:49.664 --> 00:17:50.698
Mark, can we just go back in time for a little bit?
00:17:50.698 --> 00:17:52.634
I went back and i looked at the front page
00:17:52.634 --> 00:17:54.235
Of the new york times
00:17:54.235 --> 00:17:55.470
Back on this date in 2017, july 23rd, 2017.
00:17:55.470 --> 00:18:00.008
And it was all russia.
00:18:00.008 --> 00:18:01.609
And in fact, it was so much show that it was
00:18:01.609 --> 00:18:03.978
That congress was passing sanctions
00:18:03.978 --> 00:18:06.381
To try to punish russia for
00:18:06.381 --> 00:18:07.849
Their interference in the 2017 and the 2016 election.
00:18:07.849 --> 00:18:11.519
Can you just remind some of our younger people
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:13.655
In the audience, mark, of how overwhelming
00:18:13.655 --> 00:18:16.090
The russian interference narrative was,
00:18:16.090 --> 00:18:18.560
Especially in the first year of the trump presidency?
00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:21.663
It's hard to explain to someone
00:18:22.297 --> 00:18:23.665
Who didn't live through it because
00:18:23.665 --> 00:18:26.935
The the degree to which it's
00:18:26.935 --> 00:18:29.337
All the press wanted to cover and talk about,
00:18:29.337 --> 00:18:32.273
And the degree to which the president's,
00:18:32.273 --> 00:18:35.376
You know, detention
00:18:35.376 --> 00:18:36.511
Was divided, his ability to get his message out now,
00:18:36.511 --> 00:18:39.614
There's some caveats to that.
00:18:40.248 --> 00:18:42.350
There was a russian attempt to interfere with the election.
00:18:42.350 --> 00:18:44.552
And that's a serious thing to have.
00:18:44.552 --> 00:18:46.287
Our biggest adversary
00:18:46.287 --> 00:18:47.956
Use america's freedom, america's
00:18:47.956 --> 00:18:49.824
Openness to take advantage
00:18:49.824 --> 00:18:51.559
Of the capacity to use social media, etc..
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.262
Acting, they did stuff, and the obama administration
00:18:54.262 --> 00:18:58.499
Had to deal with that. number one.
00:18:58.499 --> 00:19:00.134
Number two, there were contacts, between
00:19:00.134 --> 00:19:03.738
Some people in the trump orbit and russians that,
00:19:03.738 --> 00:19:07.008
You know, arouse suspicion.
00:19:07.008 --> 00:19:08.643
But those are the caveats.
00:19:08.643 --> 00:19:09.711
The reality is, and the mueller investigation
00:19:09.711 --> 00:19:12.647
Or this out, this was a hoax.
00:19:12.647 --> 00:19:15.750
This was an attempt to
00:19:15.750 --> 00:19:17.585
And partly because the trump derangement syndrome,
00:19:18.586 --> 00:19:21.489
Explained to the tens of millions of americans
00:19:21.489 --> 00:19:24.425
Who to this day can't understand
00:19:24.425 --> 00:19:25.927
How their fellow countrymen
00:19:25.927 --> 00:19:26.961
And women would vote for donald trump.
00:19:26.961 --> 00:19:28.663
They needed an explanation, and they channeled their belief
00:19:28.663 --> 00:19:31.799
That russia won the election for donald trump
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.668
Into a massive media and, congressional
00:19:33.668 --> 00:19:38.172
And, legal investigation
00:19:38.172 --> 00:19:40.875
Into not just donald trump, but everyone around him.
00:19:40.875 --> 00:19:43.778
And the reason
00:19:43.778 --> 00:19:44.846
I think this is so resonant on the right is because
00:19:44.846 --> 00:19:47.715
Imagine this and that happening to a democratic president,
00:19:47.715 --> 00:19:50.685
And how outraged the media would be if,
00:19:50.685 --> 00:19:53.388
If a democratic president was simply swallowed up
00:19:53.388 --> 00:19:56.591
For something that turned out to be a hoax.
00:19:56.591 --> 00:19:58.793
So mark
00:19:58.793 --> 00:19:59.894
I want to play this piece of tape and it is harry
00:19:59.894 --> 00:20:03.064
Enten from cnn who has a series of very negative polls
00:20:03.064 --> 00:20:06.734
About the president
00:20:06.734 --> 00:20:08.002
That i'm not i'm not sure how accurate or inaccurate
00:20:08.002 --> 00:20:11.506
They are.
00:20:11.506 --> 00:20:12.407
In fact, that's been part of my question
00:20:12.407 --> 00:20:13.574
After i played the tape is how accurate actually are the,
00:20:13.574 --> 00:20:17.745
The, the the mid the interim polling during a presidency.
00:20:17.745 --> 00:20:22.817
So i want to play this here.
00:20:22.817 --> 00:20:23.718
Let's play cut 376.
00:20:23.718 --> 00:20:25.687
And i want to get your reaction, mark
00:20:25.687 --> 00:20:27.121
Halperin, to say, is there some shreds of truth to this?
00:20:27.121 --> 00:20:29.057
Can we trust this play cut?
00:20:29.057 --> 00:20:30.124
376 i do have one piece of good news for donald trump,
00:20:30.124 --> 00:20:34.529
And that there is one other presidency
00:20:34.529 --> 00:20:36.597
That has a lower net approval rating at this point
00:20:36.597 --> 00:20:39.300
Than this one.
00:20:39.300 --> 00:20:40.301
The bad news is that it was donald trump's
00:20:40.301 --> 00:20:42.603
Other presidency,
00:20:42.603 --> 00:20:44.005
His first presidency net approval rating six months,
00:20:44.005 --> 00:20:46.341
And the worst was in 2017
00:20:46.341 --> 00:20:48.409
Donald trump with 16 points underwater.
00:20:48.409 --> 00:20:50.545
The second worst, however, is this donald trump presidency
00:20:50.545 --> 00:20:54.082
11 points underwater.
00:20:54.082 --> 00:20:55.650
The average president at this point since 1953
00:20:55.650 --> 00:20:59.420
Has a plus 27 net approval rating.
00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:02.824
John, do some quick math.
00:21:02.824 --> 00:21:04.058
I mean, it seems to me
00:21:04.058 --> 00:21:05.026
That donald trump is about 40 points lower
00:21:05.026 --> 00:21:07.562
Than the average president at this particular point.
00:21:07.562 --> 00:21:10.264
He has the second worst net approval rating at this point.
00:21:10.264 --> 00:21:12.767
He is underwater on all the major issues of the day.
00:21:12.767 --> 00:21:15.470
The bottom line is six months into this administration,
00:21:15.470 --> 00:21:18.673
I think that most americans would apply the word or words
00:21:18.673 --> 00:21:23.344
Disaster, terrible,
00:21:23.344 --> 00:21:26.147
Awful, horrible.
00:21:26.147 --> 00:21:28.649
Mark, how accurate is this polling?
00:21:28.649 --> 00:21:30.284
And is there any data that you think
00:21:30.284 --> 00:21:31.719
Our audience should be aware of? mark halperin
00:21:31.719 --> 00:21:34.489
Well, it's a complicated time for polling.
00:21:35.356 --> 00:21:37.892
First of all, harry
00:21:37.892 --> 00:21:38.960
Is a friend of mine, and i'm a pretty decent mimic.
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.895
But i never try to imitate harry
00:21:40.895 --> 00:21:42.330
Because that thing is just a it's a beast of its own.
00:21:42.330 --> 00:21:45.500
I don't understand that voice.
00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:48.603
So let's just talk sort of 101 here on polling.
00:21:48.603 --> 00:21:51.572
First of all, a lot of the issues
00:21:51.572 --> 00:21:54.842
That are being polled now, you know, it's a truism.
00:21:54.842 --> 00:21:58.446
It depends on how you ask it. right.
00:21:58.446 --> 00:22:00.047
How do you phrase the question?
00:22:00.047 --> 00:22:01.382
A lot of the issues at stake now,
00:22:01.382 --> 00:22:03.518
I think it's very difficult to poll and get people.
00:22:03.518 --> 00:22:06.087
So you say is the president, being forthcoming enough
00:22:06.087 --> 00:22:10.024
About it to i would say yes, even even
00:22:10.024 --> 00:22:14.262
Unless you're following it really closely
00:22:14.262 --> 00:22:15.763
And you make some sort of
00:22:15.763 --> 00:22:16.631
Solomon like judgment, like,
00:22:16.631 --> 00:22:18.499
Are the americans attitude
00:22:18.499 --> 00:22:19.901
Towards their presidents in the government be more open?
00:22:19.901 --> 00:22:22.336
So is he being is he being forthcoming,
00:22:22.336 --> 00:22:24.005
Transparent enough?
00:22:24.005 --> 00:22:24.839
Like, i think just a lot of people
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.873
Reflexively say no without really understanding,
00:22:25.873 --> 00:22:28.609
You know, the baseline of comparison.
00:22:28.609 --> 00:22:30.111
Same. same with immigration.
00:22:30.111 --> 00:22:31.612
If you say to people who, you know, have never broken,
00:22:31.612 --> 00:22:34.982
You know, broken an additional law,
00:22:34.982 --> 00:22:36.884
And they're here and they're contributing
00:22:36.884 --> 00:22:38.319
The economy, should they be deported?
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:40.254
I think a lot of people and it's a complicated question.
00:22:40.254 --> 00:22:42.557
It's like sort of the past,
00:22:42.557 --> 00:22:44.058
You know, what are the other options?
00:22:44.058 --> 00:22:45.193
So i think a lot of the issues that are front and center
00:22:45.193 --> 00:22:48.329
Are difficult to poll. that's number one.
00:22:48.329 --> 00:22:50.164
Number two,
00:22:50.164 --> 00:22:51.766
The president's got a lot of bad news coverage now.
00:22:51.766 --> 00:22:53.701
He always gets bad news coverage
00:22:53.701 --> 00:22:55.203
From the liberal press right.
00:22:55.203 --> 00:22:56.471
Almost always
00:22:56.471 --> 00:22:57.572
Now is getting bad coverage from you know
00:22:57.572 --> 00:22:59.907
If you're part of the short and people like you right.
00:22:59.907 --> 00:23:02.543
So so just a general not not not not from this show,
00:23:02.543 --> 00:23:07.048
But from others, like, you know what i'm saying?
00:23:07.048 --> 00:23:09.584
System. yes.
00:23:09.584 --> 00:23:10.518
I don't mean you.
00:23:10.518 --> 00:23:11.285
I mean people like you, not you.
00:23:11.285 --> 00:23:12.887
So so now all the cover up,
00:23:12.887 --> 00:23:16.858
You know, a lot of more of the coverage is bad
00:23:16.858 --> 00:23:18.659
And and it's a sort of mirror image of
00:23:18.659 --> 00:23:21.295
Why is the democratic party have a 98% approval rating?
00:23:21.295 --> 00:23:24.332
It's not because republicans are painting them more.
00:23:24.332 --> 00:23:27.602
It's because independents and democrats are hating them more.
00:23:27.602 --> 00:23:30.438
Same thing is happening with the president on
00:23:30.438 --> 00:23:33.040
On ukraine, on iran for some may be on immigration
00:23:33.040 --> 00:23:36.878
For some,
00:23:36.878 --> 00:23:37.945
Maybe where he's talking about a path to legal status
00:23:37.945 --> 00:23:39.647
For some people who came here legally
00:23:39.647 --> 00:23:41.215
And on board on epstein,
00:23:41.215 --> 00:23:42.884
They're going to be people who are currently unhappy.
00:23:43.951 --> 00:23:45.820
And again,
00:23:45.820 --> 00:23:46.854
It doesn't mean
00:23:46.854 --> 00:23:47.722
If they were voting in the election,
00:23:47.722 --> 00:23:48.956
They wouldn't vote for the president.
00:23:48.956 --> 00:23:50.157
But if they answer a poll, it gives them an opportunity
00:23:50.157 --> 00:23:52.593
To be negative about the president.
00:23:52.593 --> 00:23:54.195
Okay.
00:23:54.195 --> 00:23:55.029
Now lastly, i'd say the president
00:23:55.029 --> 00:23:57.765
Has done big things and and he's frustrated.
00:23:57.765 --> 00:24:00.868
You and i both know that he's not that the conversation
00:24:00.868 --> 00:24:03.671
About epstein
00:24:03.671 --> 00:24:04.705
And other things and he doesn't want to be about
00:24:04.705 --> 00:24:06.607
And that the polls are not great,
00:24:06.607 --> 00:24:08.042
He, he i'm sure he thinks
00:24:08.042 --> 00:24:09.377
He should be at his highest approval rating in.
00:24:09.377 --> 00:24:11.712
But the reality is, even on the big things
00:24:11.712 --> 00:24:13.548
That he's accomplished, take take the reconciliation law.
00:24:13.548 --> 00:24:17.285
There's things in there that are not popular and and
00:24:17.285 --> 00:24:20.021
And voters
00:24:20.021 --> 00:24:21.022
Know about some of them or they hear about them
00:24:21.022 --> 00:24:22.323
Maybe in a misleading way, maybe not.
00:24:22.323 --> 00:24:24.258
But yeah, the terrorists i think the tariff plan
00:24:24.258 --> 00:24:27.862
Is working extremely well, certainly better
00:24:27.862 --> 00:24:29.730
Than all our rich friends thought it would.
00:24:29.730 --> 00:24:31.065
But but i totally agree with you.
00:24:31.065 --> 00:24:33.768
Mark halperin, i know you got a dash.
00:24:33.768 --> 00:24:35.236
We're going to have you back on soon.
00:24:35.236 --> 00:24:36.737
Thank you so much.
00:24:36.737 --> 00:24:37.471
Everyone.
00:24:37.471 --> 00:24:38.339
Email us freedom at charlie cook.com
00:24:38.339 --> 00:24:39.740
Mark terrific two way tv. come back any anytime.
00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:44.078
As a christian, have you always considered
00:24:44.946 --> 00:24:46.714
Yourself pro-israel but not sure where you stand today?
00:24:46.714 --> 00:24:49.584
Let me help you make it simple.
00:24:49.584 --> 00:24:51.118
Israel protects christian holy sites, defends religious
00:24:51.118 --> 00:24:53.988
Freedom, and stands as the only democracy
00:24:53.988 --> 00:24:56.157
In a region dominated by extremism.
00:24:56.157 --> 00:24:58.359
Israel is both a strategic and moral ally
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.228
Who's facing the same enemies
00:25:01.228 --> 00:25:02.730
And threats that we do right here in america.
00:25:02.730 --> 00:25:04.999
There are so many reasons for christians
00:25:04.999 --> 00:25:06.467
To proudly and morally support israel.
00:25:06.467 --> 00:25:08.436
Go now to ifk jorg and learn more about the good work,
00:25:08.436 --> 00:25:11.872
The international fellowship of christians and jews is doing
00:25:11.872 --> 00:25:14.575
In delivering real aid, providing real security
00:25:14.575 --> 00:25:17.144
And standing with israel when it matters most.
00:25:17.144 --> 00:25:19.180
Go to ifk jorg to learn more.
00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:21.549
