However, there are concerns about the accuracy and origins of the story, with claims that it involves Russian disinformation. Intelligence agencies warned that Rudy Giuliani was used by Russian intelligence to undermine the Biden campaign. Republicans plan to subpoena the CEO of Twitter for blocking the unverified story.

Speaker 0: Over the past few days, President Trump has highlighted a report by the New York Post about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son. There are major questions about the origins and the accuracy of that story, that the president's personal attorney was peddling Russian disinformation.
Speaker 1: Unfounded claims about vice president Biden's son, Hunter.
Speaker 0: Unverified story about Hunter Biden.
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff suggested the claims are Russian disinformation.
Speaker 0: Disinformation. Intelligence agencies warned the White House that Russian intelligence used Rudy Giuliani as a vessel to undermine the Biden campaign. Republicans vowed to subpoena the CEO of Twitter for blocking a politically charged and uncorroborated story in the New York Post. It involved Hunter Biden, son of presidential candidate Joe Biden, and his business dealings in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: You know, it's this article of dubious sourcing that's been disproved, by lots and lots of Reputable news organizations. This story is suspect. Couldn't have 2 more dubious sources, I think, on any story. They put up this story about this hard drive, and it had A really wacky story about how it got to the anyway, I'm not going to go into the details of it, because I found it hard to believe. The whole thing blew up and it was used, you know, it took a Sort of a pretty shoddy story, and then made it into this cause celebre for the right wing about censorship, which has been one of their Things they talk about without a whole lot of proof.
Speaker 2: You actually sound like you're on a Fox News, show right now. You sound a little bit like an anchor.
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, Fox is one of the only news channels that's covering you in real emails!
Speaker 2: Even Fox News would not Touch this story that, that President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, tried to dump. You know that. Even the New York Post, the key reporter, did not work in the spotlight.
Speaker 1: Fox News
Speaker 3: just confirmed Hunter Biden's former business associate who identified by name Joe Biden is the big guy who's profiting off of these shady stories. And it's not just China. It's Ukraine and it's $3,500,000 from Moscow. Alright.
Speaker 2: You want to go that. You want to go that.
Speaker 3: There was a desk, the dossier. It was real. And it all had to involve the Bidens.
Speaker 4: Former senior intelligence official tells me That President Trump was warned Giuliani's information was likely Russian disinformation. The Biden campaign says that this is Russian disinformation. And disinformation experts I talk to tell me that pro Russian actors have been packaging their disinformation Next to apparently legitimate information, and that they fear that Russian and other actors will continue doing so in the final weeks before the election.
Speaker 0: Such important reporting. Thank you, Nick Schifrin.

Video Transcript AI Summary
CNN has learned that US investigators have corroborated some of the communications detailed in the 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent. The intercepts of foreign nationals confirmed that some conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations. However, it is important to note that the content of the calls or whether they relate to then candidate Trump has not been confirmed. The newly learned information does not pertain to the salacious allegations in the dossier. US intelligence and law enforcement officials have gained greater confidence in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to investigate its contents. The White House has dismissed the story as "fake news."
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We have some breaking news now. CNN has learned new information about that ongoing investigation into those allegations raised in a collection of memos created by a a memos for political opponents of then candidate Donald Trump. Jim Sciutto and Evan Perez have been working the story. And, Jim, let's start with you. What precisely have investigators learned?
Speaker 1: Well, Jake, for the first time, US investigators say that they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35 page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent. CNN was first to report last month that then president-elect Donald Trump and president Barack Obama were briefed on the existence of the memos prior to the inauguration. Until now, US officials have said that none of the content or allegations have been verified, but now Multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN that intelligence intercepts of foreign nationals form Confirmed that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations As detailed in the dossier, we should be clear that CNN has not confirmed the content of the calls or whether any of the content relates form to then candidate Trump. And none of the newly learned information relates, I should say, to the salacious allegations in the dossier. The corroboration Based on intercepted communications has given US intelligence and law enforcement, quote, greater confidence in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier As they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.
Reached for comment this afternoon, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said, quote, form We continue to be disgusted by CNN's fake news reporting. Spokesmen for the FBI, the Department of Justice, the CIA, And the office of the director of national intelligence had no comment.
Speaker 0: Fake news is what they call any news they don't like. Let me go to you, Evan. What is it precisely that investigators have corroborated
Speaker 2: here? Well, Jake, the dossier contain contains 35 pages of claims and allegations. And when US investigators first started looking into it, they were trying to see whether there was any truth to the allegation that Russians were seeking to compromise president Trump. Form Now to start, the investigators looked into looked for information, they could verify easily to give them a sense of the credibility of the author Who was already known, someone they were familiar with as having credible sources. The dossier con details about a dozen conversations between senior for Russian officials and other Russian individuals.
So that was one of the starting points. One thing that the US has is a collection of foreign call intercepts form So that they have information to seek, to verify, some of the alleged conversations described in the dossier. Now sources would not confirm which Specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence co collection programs. For US intelligence officials emphasized that the conversations they have now verified were solely between foreign nationals, form Including those in or tied to the Russian government, intercepted during re routine intelligence gathering. But some of those individuals involved in the inter intercepted communications for were known to US, to the US intelligence community as, quote, heavily involved in collecting information damaging to Hillary Clinton and helpful to Donald Trump.
Form Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the the classified nature of the of those programs. Check.
Speaker 0: Okay. And, Jim, let's underline this. The source said the sources you you 2 spoke with say there's confirmation of some of the conversations detailed. All comp the conversations were between foreign individuals, and there's still a a ton in these series of memos in this so called dossier that investigators cannot yet verify as true.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. We wanna be very clear about that. To begin, as we said, one of the officials we spoke to stressed to CNN that they have not corroborated, quote, The more salacious things alleged in the dossier, and I'll remind our viewers that CNN from the beginning has not reported any of the salacious allegations included in the dossier. However, When we first reported this story, US intelligence and law enforcement officials have said they could not verify any parts of the dossier. They are now form saying they indeed corroborated some of the communications contained in the dossier.
None of the officials we spoke to for this story would comment or confirm that they have proof of any alleged conversations or meetings between Russian officials and US citizens, including associates of then candidate Trump. Officials who spoke to CNN for this story cautioned they have not reached any final judgment on whether the Russian government has any compromising information about the president, president Trump, and his staff, you may remember, have repeatedly dismissed the entire dossier as, quote, phony.
Speaker 0: Well, first, they denied that he'd been briefed on it. And, of course, he had been briefed on it, the existence of the dossier. Evan, form you reached out to the White House to get a comment. They said the comment, that that you that Jim read earlier, fake news, blah blah blah. But the White House has reached out again?
Speaker 2: Right. We did hear again from Sean Spicer, and he called us back to emphasize his displeasure with this story. He said, quote, It is about time that CNN focused on the success the president has had, at bringing back jobs, protecting the nation, and strengthening relationships with Japan and other nations. Form. The president won the election because of his vision and message for the nation, Jake.
Speaker 0: Alright. Well, we did just report on on, his meeting with prime minister, Avi. And and, in terms of jobs, it's a bit early yet, but okay. Jim, this is a story that we're gonna continue to work. Obviously, with intelligence gathering?
There are a lot of falsehoods. There are some things that turn out to be truth, some things we're we're not able to determine.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. As we emphasized here, this is not a final judgment, form but that they have, confirmed at least some of the details contained in those

During Biden's presidency, media errors have not been as prevalent as they were during Trump's term. Trump faced numerous false reports, like NBC wrongly stating he skipped visiting troops for Christmas in 2018. However, Trump actually visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan during holidays. The media's mistakes were consistently negative towards Trump, unlike Biden. Some of the worst errors included CNN falsely claiming Nancy Sinatra was upset about her father's song at Trump's inauguration, and Time inaccurately reporting that Trump removed Martin Luther King's bust from the Oval Office.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We've also been tracking media mistakes under the Biden presidency to see if he'd fall victim to the same syndrome. In other words, is the media making an unprecedented number of sloppy but innocent errors, or is their behavior part of a calculated strategy? Today's cover story, what the record shows. When president Biden spent last Christmas on vacation with family, he continued the longest string in 2 decades of a US president not visiting the troops during the holiday. But there was no criticism in the press like there had been of his predecessor Thank you.
President Trump. With Trump, the media was eager to blare negative headlines even when false. In 2018, NBC incorrectly reported that Trump stayed home at Christmas time, the first US president since 2002 to skip visiting the troops. The news went global, but it wasn't true. The media had jumped the gun.
Trump and first lady Melania left the White House Christmas Day to visit US soldiers in Iraq. On Thanksgiving, Newsweek made a similar error, falsely reporting that Trump was spending the holiday golfing at Mar a Lago in Florida, but the reporter had fabricated the golf story. Trump flew to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to, again, be with the troops, making Trump the only president in US US history to visit troops in a combat zone both on Thanksgiving and so close to Christmas, though the press never reported that. 3 years into the Biden presidency, it's clear. Trump was treated with unique unfairness by error riddled reports in the media, always cutting in a negative direction.
There's been no similar trend under Biden. But first, a reminder of just a few of the worst media mistakes about Trump. CNN claimed Nancy Sinatra was not happy her father's song was played at Trump's inauguration. But Nancy Sinatra responded, that's not true. I never said that.
Why do you lie, CNN? Time falsely claimed Trump removed the bust statue of Martin Luther King from the Oval Office.

Daniel made numerous false claims, including about the 2020 election, rally attendance, drug busts, and international relations. He also spread misinformation about Syria, immigration, taxes, and crime rates. Many of his statements were debunked by experts or lacked evidence. Overall, his statements were misleading and inaccurate.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Daniel, take it away. He said there was world peace in 2020. There was very much not. He said he won Wisconsin in 2020. He lost.
He said the Democrats rigged the 2020 election a lie. He said people around president Biden cheat on elections. No. He said people's votes tend to disappear. They simply do not.
He said a 107,000 people attended his recent rally in New Jersey. That's at least tens of thousands too high. He said he saved Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020 during rioting when a Democratic governor wouldn't act to intervene. In fact, that governor deployed the National Guard before Trump told him to. Trump said cocaine was found at the White House about a month ago.
That was actually about 11 months ago. He said it was 100 of 1,000 of dollars worth of cocaine. It was a little bag, maybe generously in the 100 of dollars worth. He said Biden orchestrated his New York criminal trial, zero evidence of that. He said Biden was also behind all of his cases including civil trials, baseless again.
He said Biden wandered off of the g seven and didn't know where he was. No. Biden was briefly chatting with a skydiver who had landed near the group. He said he was indicted more than infamous Al Capone. No.
Al Capone had more indictments than him. He said he was in Washington the other day for one of his trials. He was actually there for meetings with congressional Republicans. He said Nancy Pelosi turned down his offer of 10,000 soldiers on January 6th. She never got such an offer offer and would not have had the power to reject it even if she did.
He said the January 6th committee deleted all records, just did not happen. He said he's the only president who didn't start a war. Jimmy Carter didn't start any wars. He said he finished the war in Syria. No.
And got US soldiers out. He actually left hundreds of troops there. He said Syria and Turkey have been fighting over their border for, quote, 2000 years. That border is less than a century old. He said insane asylums are being emptied by foreign countries to let people come to the US as migrants.
His own campaign cannot substantiate this claim. And he also said prisoners are coming in from jails in the Congo over the border. His campaign can't that either. He said President Obama cannot deport criminals to Latin American countries. Obama, in fact, could.
He said Venezuela's crime is down 72% because of immigration to the US. Venezuela's violent deaths are actually down 25%, and that's for a variety of reasons. He said 17 or 18,000,000 people have now entered illegally over the border. Experts say that's many millions too high. He said Biden's plans would quadruple your taxes.
Total fiction. He said canceling Keystone XL, the pipeline, cost 48,000 jobs that is wildly inflated. He said total inflation under president Biden is 40 or 50%. It's actually 19%. He said before he took office, there was a 500,000,000,000 trade deficit with China.
It has never been that high. And in fact, the record was set under Trump in 2018. He said no previous president has taken in even 10¢ in tariff money from China. It is Americans who pay those tariffs, tariffs, and the US has actually had such tariffs on China since the 1700. And finally, he said we're in the worst crime wave in modern history.
Crime has actually plummeted in 2023 and so far in 2024. Abby? And it's only Tuesday.

BREAKING: CNN just found out that Kamala Harris is a LIAR. This is simply hilarious 🤣 https://t.co/PJ1NLtZk9w
Video Transcript AI Summary
KFILE investigated Kamala Harris's past statements and found over 50 instances of her criticizing Trump's border wall. These criticisms included calling the wall "wasteful," "useless," a "vanity project," and "stupid." Harris also stated in her 2019 book that the wall went against everything America stood for and called it a "distraction."
Despite this, Harris's new campaign ads showcase the border wall. The specific section of the wall featured in the ad is located in Sasabe, Arizona, and was built by Donald Trump in an area where no wall previously existed. Other images of the wall in the ads also show an anti-climbing plate, a feature popularized during the Trump administration.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Tonight, KFILE investigates. In a new report, you'll see first out front. The KFILE team scoured Kamala Harris's tweets and statements going all the way back to 2017. And what they found was more than 50 instances of Harris slamming Trump's border wall. But now, new Paris campaign ads actually showcase that very wall.
Speaker 1: As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border.
Speaker 0: And on top of critical tweets, Harris also wrote in her 2019 book, quote, there was a bigger reason to oppose the border wall. A useless wall on the southern border message, keep out? Well, KFILE's Andrew Kaczynski, hard message, keep out. Well, KFILE's Andrew Kaczynski joins me now. So Andrew, I mean, you you and you you all have gone through, I mean, scoured an incredible amount of material.
Tell me more about what you found.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's right. We found more than 50 of those those tweets criticizing the border wall before she used that in her ad. And I want people to take a look at just a few, of what she said here. She called it wasteful, useless, a waste of taxpayer money, a vanity wall project, a wasteful border wall, a stupid wall, a medieval vanity project, and an unnecessary wall.
And those are really just I mean, there were more of this. It's like 10 or like 50. But there was really there was really a lot of this was the common refrain during the campaign. You read that quote where she said it was against everything that not only she stood for, everything, America stood for, but and she brought this up a lot. Take a listen to just one instance of that in 2019.
Speaker 0: It's the president's vanity project.
Speaker 3: His multibillion dollar vanity project called a wall is nothing more than a distraction from the fact that he actually hasn't focused on working people in America. He contrived a national crisis around his big distraction.
Speaker 0: Alright. So you go through all of that. You've got all the tweets, and yet all of a sudden in the ads, there's pictures of the wall. And then you went through to look at that wall. Like, what is that specific wall that's in her her campaign ads now?
And you found something very interesting about this specific portion of the wall.
Speaker 2: And what's I think what's also really remarkable of this is, like, I mean, you heard her talking about it there. The Trump's wall in his campaign, during his presidency, there was really no greater symbol of Trump's presidency than the wall in the way that Democrats were attacking him over the wall and his restrictive immigration policies. So we looked in that ad and if you look at it, that exact area of wall is in, Sasebe or or Sasebe, Arizona, and that is a portion of wall that was actually built by Donald Trump. It was built in an area, where there was not previous wall. It was actually pretty controversial when they were building it, at the time.
So just to see that, and then there are other She was using his wall that he built to say, look
Speaker 0: at what I did, basically. And the other images of the wall, we weren't
Speaker 2: able to pinpoint, but there's there's telltale signs that that was a Trump wall because there's an anti climbing plate on top that became popularized during the Trump years.
Speaker 0: It's really incredible reporting and and important. Alright? Andrew Kucinski and k File, thank you very much.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker claims the American media is attempting to silence Springfield residents. They allege that the media has falsely attributed recent bomb threats in Springfield to Donald Trump and the speaker, when the governor of Ohio stated the threats were hoaxes originating from foreign countries. The speaker accuses the media of "laundering foreign disinformation" and demands an apology to the residents of Springfield. They believe the media is trying to suppress complaints about migrant inflow, housing affordability, and Kamala Harris's "open border" policies. The speaker urges the media to focus on the real crisis of the open border and its victims, and to cover the actual issues of the election instead of silencing American citizens.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: But I I wanna tell you what's what's even more disgraceful. What's even more disgraceful than the policy is the effort to silence the residents of Springfield. I've seen this from the American media. A lot of people who pretend to be fair journalists. You know what they've been saying?
For the last few days, Springfield has been experiencing an unbelievable number, something like 35, 40 bomb threats in Springfield in just the last in just the last few days. And you know what the governor of Ohio came out yesterday and said, every single one of those bomb threats was a hoax, and all of those bomb threats came from foreign countries. So the American media for 3 days has been lying and saying that Donald Trump and I are inciting bomb threats when in reality, the American media has been laundering foreign disinformation. It is disgusting, and every single one of them owes the residents of Springfield an apology. But I think it illustrates something, my friends, that is so sick from the American press in 2024.
And it's that instead of talking about the crises in our country, they try to silence the people who are experiencing them. Because their message in talking about these bomb threats and in lying to the American people and saying they came from me and Donald Trump, what they're doing is trying to shut all of us up. They're trying to say, how dare you, citizens of Springfield, complain about this migrant inflow because now these bomb threats are happening? How dare you complain about the fact that you can't afford housing? How dare you complain about Kamala's open border?
The media conspired to shut American citizens up. They owe every single American an apology, and they ought to And after giving every single American an apology, why don't they think about covering the real crisis, which is Kamala's open border and its many, many victims? Focus on the real story, American media. Stop trying to shut up the people who are telling the real story. Do your job.
Cover what's going on in this race, and the American people will be better off for it.

Are there states where women face prosecution for having an abortion? No. Do any states criminalize miscarriage or the care related to it? No. Are there states that criminalize removing an ectopic pregnancy or prohibit life-saving care for mothers? No. Women do not need to be actively dying for doctors to provide necessary care. There is concerning rhetoric that may deter women from seeking healthcare. Recently, Vice President Harris claimed women are being arrested for miscarriages. However, there is no evidence of any woman being arrested for this or for receiving healthcare related to it. Misleading examples can scare women away from necessary treatment.

Speaker 1: abortion? No.
Speaker 0: Are there any states that criminalize miscarriage? No. Or they care for any, for a miscarriage? No. Are there any states that criminalize removing an ectopic pregnancy?
No. Are there any states that prohibit life saving care for the mother? No. Are there any states where women have to be actively dying for for a doctor to be able to act for her care? No.
There's been a lot of rhetoric in this that I'm concerned pushes people away from getting access to health care. Vice president Harris in a speech recently said that women were being arrested in facing prosecution for experiencing miscarriages. Miss Sackler, do you know of a single instance where a woman has been arrested for having a miscarriage or getting health care for that?
Speaker 1: No. Treatment for miscarriage is allowed under the law, and there have been instances where, I think that one example of that that's been pointed to is misleading because the woman I think she was in Ohio. The charges against her were not abortion related, and so it it's misleading to use as an example.
Speaker 0: It's not only misleading, but it scares women away from getting access to health care, And it leads women to not go get health care treatment when they desperately need it.

Christina Drey and Adam Dubard were fired this month during the shutdown of foreign aid distributed by USAID. The administration sent over 8,000 USAID employees home, seemingly based on loyalty rather than competence.
These dedicated public servants, with decades of experience across multiple administrations, were abruptly dismissed. They were reportedly emailed and then escorted out of the building, without any clear explanation. They couldn't even return. There was no process or explanation given to them.

Speaker 0: People are really scared. I think that, you know, twelve days ago, people knew where their next paycheck was coming from. They knew how they were gonna pay for their kids' day care, their medical bills, and then all gone overnight.
Speaker 1: All gone overnight for Christina Drey and Adam Dubard fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid distributed by the US Agency for International Development, USAID. More than 8,000 USAID employees were sent home by the administration. They're not looking for competency. They're not looking for if you're good at your job. They're looking for pure loyalty tests.
And if you don't give it, you you will be punished.
Speaker 0: And they had to leave the building. And these are folks who had decades and decades of public service serving USAID across administrations from, you know, George Bush to Obama to the first Trump administration. And they were never able to walk back in the building again.
Speaker 1: There was no process? No one explained to them why they were being relieved?
Speaker 0: To my knowledge, they received an email, and then if they didn't leave the building, they were escorted out of the building.
With the dismantling of USAID, is the Trump administration defying the Constitution?
A constitutional law professor and a former USAID administrator are raising questions about President Trump's actions around USAID and what it could mean about the role of Congress in Washington.

I watched the 60 Minutes interview featuring USAID contractors, including Kristina Drye, who previously admitted to taking "incriminating books" from the USAID building. Interestingly, she has since deleted her X account, where she expressed support for Ukraine but not for America. On LinkedIn, she presents herself as a "National Security professional" and has a background as a speechwriter for Samantha Power. Before that, she worked for Giant Oak, Inc., which monitors online activity for security purposes. It seems there's a growing call for accountability, including for Samantha Power.

People were scared and forced to evacuate the building, never to return. Doge was there. We removed pride flags and potentially incriminating books. Communication ceased.
We learned that Google Meet transcripts were being automatically recorded. The news was disconnected in the kitchen areas. The atmosphere was unsettling. Then, on Saturday, all the websites crashed, and I completely lost access to my computer.

Kristina Drye (she/her) claims to be a “National Security professional” on LinkedIn. Turns out she was a speechwriter for USAID’s director Samantha Powers. But before USAID, Drye worked for Giant Oak, Inc. (GOI)—an international intelligence gathering firm. GOI claims to sweep the internet to monitor the world population and “helps close windows of vulnerability” by finding “negative news in chat rooms, social media and discussion websites, the deep web, and articles or sources in foreign languages” which they claim “makes the world a safer place.”

60 Minutes is being called out for allegedly airing a fake news segment. They presented Christina Drey, as a sad, distraught former USAID employee supposedly fired by the Trump administration. However, Drey actually works for XLA and Jefferson Partners, providing speech writing services for USAID, and was previously Samantha Powers' speechwriter.
The segment portrayed Drey and another consultant as long-term USAID employees unfairly fired, but they were never direct employees. It was also discovered that Drey had a blog with nasty posts about Donald Trump and his supporters, even suggesting eliminating them.

Speaker 0: From Gateway Pundit, fake news sixty Minutes star nonpolitical USAID worker is former deep state speechwriter, did not work for USAID, and even had a blog writing about eliminating Trump supporters. But you remember her face if you, watched on Monday. Sixty Minutes is quickly earning the reputation of being the most fake news of all fake outlets. Sixty Minutes is already in court defending their organization when they were caught cutting and pasting Kamala Harris' interview together to make it to make her look like a normal thinking person. Now this past weekend, sixty Minutes was caught again.
This time, trying to pass a former speechwriter for USAID chief Samantha Power as a sad and distraught former USAID employee who the Trump administration had recently fired. Sixty Minutes aired a segment about a sad young mother, Christina Drey, who was fired from USAID in Washington DC this month. Kristen Drey does not actually work for USAID. She works for XLA and Jefferson Partners, a company that provides speech writing services for USAID. She was also Samantha Powers' speech writer, that is the former head of the USAID.
The entire segment was complete BS. Let's go ahead and go to that segment now, and we'll we'll watch it just to remind you, of the lies that sixty minutes is very carefully crafting to deceive you. Let's watch.
Speaker 1: People are really scared. I think that, you know, twelve days ago, people knew where their next paycheck was coming from. They knew how they were gonna pay for their kids' day care, their medical bills, and then all gone overnight.
Speaker 2: All gone overnight for Christina Drey and Adam Dubard fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid distributed by The US Agency For International Development. Interested. USAR. You're correct. Yeah.
Speaker 0: We can bring him bring him down. That that was the sob story they told. By the way, on the first day president Trump was in office, he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. I don't seem to recall any sixty minute, exposes with, weeping oilfield workers about their jobs actually being eliminated even though they actually made things and would have helped this country. No.
What we get is the totally fraudulent sob story of a USAID speechwriter professional activist crying about the fact that she only got eight months severance if she ever worked there in the first place, which in fact, she didn't. These two comms consultants, these communication consultants, were never actually employees of USAID. They presented them as though they were long term employees who were fired for lack of loyalty. The reality is the exact opposite. And then Natalie Winters discovered that a young leftist, Christina Drey, had a blog where she wrote nasty, uneducated posts on Donald Trump and his supporters.
She even wrote about eliminating Trump supporters, saying, quote, you represent the problem we are trying to eliminate. You represent the privilege we keep talking about. Now these have been archived. So just I really hope you can fully take in the reality of what what we just told you. Right?
You've got these radical, vicious, extremist, far left activists being posed by sixty minutes, CBS News, as poor, beleaguered, trustworthy, unbiased, and just hardworking, your down home government bureaucrats, unfairly fired for lack of loyalty by this despotic president. It's all fraud. This is all a gigantic kabuki show they're putting on for us, and they really do need to be in prison for this.
Speaker 3: It's very simple. We need the money to keep this going right now. I mean, last week. So here's what we got. We got survival still next to the best greatest pure iodine out there.
We pioneered this. It it's it's incredible. Every electrochemical activity in the body, you need it. It's amazing. Brain Force Ultra, a fan favorite.
Great clean nootropic. Body's ultimate turmeric formula, the strongest turmeric out there. Amazing. Vitamin c with zinc, very strong. The last polling formula, thousand milligram organic vitamin c, rose hips, zinc, bazo beats, the nitric oxide.
Looks like nitric boost. Great for your heart. Cardiovascular cleans out your blood. Ultra twelve, purest, highest quality, grade b twelve. Pain MD is an amazing natural pain relief formula.
It is excellent. Also, the great awakening, my best selling number one New York Times bestseller, but they wouldn't say that. It was a big scandal. The Infowars gold collectible art card, there's some of those, and that's what's there. I mean, we are wrecking it, but less than one to the 1% of her buy anything, if you'll just go to infowarsstore.com, we will be able to keep fighting.

BREAKING: NPR CEO Katherine Maher admits to @RepCloudTX that NPR FAILED to properly cover Hunter Biden’s laptop & the truth about COVID-19. 🔥 American tax dollars should not be used to fund LIES and DISINFORMATION across television and radio. https://t.co/g8Pb4UTTfd
Video Transcript AI Summary
Congressman Cloud questioned NPR's nonpartisan stance, citing the Hunter Biden laptop story, the Wuhan lab leak theory, and Adam Schiff's Russia collusion claims. He submitted an article by Uri Berlinger criticizing NPR's loss of trust and the hiring of Ms. Maher, who he says promotes Marxist ideology and disregards truth.
Cloud asked NPR's representative if she would bring the same "lack of reverence for truth" to her management, referencing past comments where she allegedly prioritized getting things done over truth. He questioned if there was a "come to Jesus moment" that would make taxpayers trust her leadership.
Cloud then questioned the relevance of taxpayer-funded public broadcasting, given the abundance of news sources available today. Mr. Gonzales stated that PBS added a third of the networks that existed in the 1970s, but that is not the case today. He also stated that conservatives have been saying for fifty years that NPR is completely biased, and they have the audacity to say they are not.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I now recognize mister Cloud from Texas for five minutes.
Speaker 1: Thank you, chairwoman. NPR fancies itself as a nonpartisan news outlet, public information outlet, even says that we should consider all things. All things are considered, yet their history of political bias has shown that there are a number of things they have not considered. They asked us not to consider that the Hunter Biden laptop was real. They dismissed the what was always the most probable theory of the COVID lab leak from Wuhan.
They interviewed Russia collusion hoaxter Adam Schiff twenty five times who claimed to have a vault of information in his office leading to the impeachment of president Trump, which of course we now know was all fraudulent. I'd like to submit for the record an article by Uri Berlinger. I've been at NPR for twenty five years. Here's how we lost America's trust.
Speaker 0: Without objection.
Speaker 1: So NPR unfortunately has lost much of the the audience that they used to have and now they have a very partisan audience because of this. Who do they bring in to fix it? They bring in miss Maher who has a history of common in commentary of promoting Marxist ideology, including critical theory, said we should not use the terms boy or girl, has called our president a deranged racist sociopath, and said that our reverence for the truth has become a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus in getting important things done. And one could look at that and think that maybe, in your view, promoting groupthink is more important than finding the truth. I thought we liked diversity of ideas, especially, and that as an online encyclopedia that you used to manage, activism was more important than accuracy.
Now, I had an uncle who used to say that, you should never let the truth get in the way of fine of a good story and while that was humorous when we were talking about weekend fishing expeditions, when we're talking about news and information and encyclopedias and things that are of national importance, I find that very troubling. Now you are here managing NPR, which is in part federally funded. Can we expect that you will bring the same lack of reverence for truth to your management of NPR?
Speaker 0: Thank you, congressman. First of all, I do want to say that NPR acknowledges that we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner. Our current editorial leadership Wuhan? We recognize that we were reporting at the time, but we acknowledge that the new CIA evidence is worthy of coverage and have covered it.
Speaker 1: What have you done to clean up the bias before? You you've mentioned you I wasn't there for that. What are you doing to clean up and make sure that we have
Speaker 0: Absolutely. Thank you, congressman. As I mentioned, I came in in May. Mr. Berliner published his story two weeks into my tenure regarding stories that had happened prior.
I wish that I had had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Berliner. I would have loved to have had him engage and come back to us with some suggestions as to what we could do editorially in order to address what he perceived as bias.
Speaker 1: Now, you've had a long history, including the thing that I mentioned, about lack of reverence for truth, and how reverence for truth, you've even talked about the First Amendment kind of getting in the way of what you wanted to get done. And and then you're wanting us to believe that NPR is now taking this non biased approach. I mean, where was the come to Jesus moment for you, I guess, that has turned you around and that we can trust the American taxpayer dollars with your leadership of NPR.
Speaker 0: I so appreciate the opportunity to perhaps clarify some things. My talk about truth was really referencing the way that people use truth to refer to belief as opposed to facts. And my encouragement was that we focus on facts. With regards to the First Amendment
Speaker 1: That's not what your comment said. Your comment said that truth was getting the way of getting things done and that you were prioritizing what you wanted to get done over truth.
Speaker 0: My And
Speaker 1: that's really unfortunate. I want to go to a different context because you're allowed to have your political, opinion. Any news organization, should be going after the truth. That's what we want and expect out of news organizations. But certainly, a media platform can can have whatever opinion it wants in a free society.
The question before us today as a committee is whether or not the taxpayers should be forced to pay for this kind of thing. Mister Gonzales, I wanted to to to get your take on this about why the corporate public broadcasting is it still relevant today? I mean, we're in a different context than we were in the sixties where maybe not every home had a television. Now, many of them have multiple televisions and certainly, we most have a screen in their pocket, most times during the day. I have three here on my desk.
And so it seems like we're in a different context of where could we possibly get the news today or information. Could you speak to the importance or lack thereof of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting in the context of where we are today in society? Society.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right. When it came on after the passage of the sixty seventh Public Broadcasting Act in the early seventies, there were only three networks. We had Crockhide, Reasoner, and the other guy. And PBS added by a third the number of networks that we had.
That's not the case today. And as far as education, which has been diminished Mhmm. And by the way, I believe that Sesame Street was sold to HBO ten years ago. But but as as far as the numb the the educational value, we have an unending stream of educational content online. I could reel off a number of websites that people can access YouTube channels where kids of all income levels can access educational content.
But basically, as I said in my testimony, it goes back to the basic unfairness that conservatives for fifty years have been saying, but you're completely biased. And they have the audacity to say, oh, no. We're not. And and and you have to just pay us. And it's, it's it's just that's that is the basic
Speaker 0: The gentleman's time has expired. Thank

Wikipedians prioritize "the best of what we can know right now" rather than focusing on finding the absolute truth. After seven years, the speaker believes this approach is valuable. When dealing with difficult disagreements, seeking the truth and trying to convince others may not be the best starting point. The speaker suggests that our reverence for the truth may be a distraction, hindering consensus and preventing progress on important matters.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: But one of the most significant differences, critical for moving from polarization to productivity, is that the Wikipedians who write these articles aren't actually focused on finding the truth. They're working for something that's a little bit more attainable, which is the best of what we can know right now. And after seven years there, I actually believe that they're onto something. That for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the truth isn't necessarily the best place to start. In fact, I think our reverence for the truth might become might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.

Bill Owens, former executive producer of sixty Minutes, resigned after nearly 40 years with CBS News. Owens, who spent 26 years at sixty Minutes covering global events, combat, and the White House, aimed to open minds through accurate and fair reporting. His resignation was prompted by Paramount, CBS's parent company, beginning to supervise the content of sixty Minutes in new ways amidst a pending merger requiring Trump administration approval. While no stories were blocked, Owens felt he lost the independence necessary for honest journalism. His resignation was difficult for him and the staff, but they believe it demonstrated his commitment to the principles that guided his leadership at sixty Minutes.

Speaker 0: In tonight's last minute, a note on Bill Owens, who until this past week, was executive producer of sixty Minutes. He was our boss. Bill was with CBS News nearly forty years, twenty six years at sixty Minutes. He covered the world, covered combat, the White House. His was a quest to open minds, not close them.
If you've ever worked hard for a boss because you admired him, then you understand what we've enjoyed here. Bill resigned Tuesday. It was hard on him and hard on us, but he did it for us and you. Stories we pursued for fifty seven years are often controversial. Lately, the Israel Gaza war and the Trump administration.
Bill made sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough that way. But our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways.
None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is happy about it. But in resigning, Bill proved one thing. He was the right person to lead sixty minutes all along.

Full Opening Monologue! How fired USAID & State Department employees are plotting to sabotage the Trump administration with CIA help. 🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/zaVf08aRCO
Video Transcript AI Summary
The War Room, broadcasting from the Tampa Convention Center, highlights a story about USAID and State Department officials allegedly undermining Trump's power. These officials, trained in instigating "color revolutions," are now supposedly using their skills domestically, hosting secret workshops promoting "noncooperation" and circulating a CIA pamphlet on "simple sabotage."
The speaker claims this proves the deep state exists and that foreign interventionism has been a training ground for tactics now deployed in the U.S. They cite examples of "simple sabotage" tactics and allege a new group called "democracy aid" is redeploying foreign assistance infrastructure inside the U.S.
The speaker also mentions a Brennan Center poll showing election officials concerned about politically motivated investigations and links Norm Eisen to lawsuits challenging Trump's policies.
On a positive note, the Defense Department is becoming the largest shareholder in a rare earth mine, Mountain Pass, to counter China's dominance in critical minerals. Mike Benz is brought on to discuss the concept of a professional class of regime change specialists at USAID, the State Department, and the CIA, who are now allegedly deploying US government-funded NGOs against the democratically elected president.

Speaker 0: Welcome to the War Room. It's Natalie g Winters hosting, filling in for Stephen k Bannon. We are here a little bit of a different background than the White House or anywhere in the horrible city, though I guess it's slightly great now that is Washington DC, but we are coming at you live from the Tampa Convention Center. I guess it's eve of turning points SASS. That is the student action summit.
So, yes, don't lose faith in this country for a lot of reasons, but certainly in the youth. I've already started to see so many hundreds of young kids pouring in in school, out of school, on summer break. You name it here. Excited to see so many people speak, including Stephen k Bannon. You got secretary of defense Pete Hegseth, DHS secretary Christy Noem, Charlie, of course, the whole turning point and Rav Crew.
Now our set is in the midst of being built, so I'm going to preemptively apologize if you hear any loud, shall we say, minute work noises. We got a lot of hammers and construction tools going on, but that's why we have the beautiful background behind us. You know, warm. We're always gone, though. We're gonna have Mike Benz on shortly to hit what you guys just saw in the cold open.
But before we get there, I want to flag a story in Denver. You can toss it up on screen coming from notice. This isn't war room. This is a direct quote. The story titled Trump fired them.
Now they're plotting to stop him, and I guess we'll continue with the I know paraphrasing just directly quoting because it's so diabolical, quote, USAID and the state department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump's power. Now this piece goes on extensively reported several quotes, several officials anonymous and on the record, including people who are currently employed by the federal government, getting your taxpayer dollars working under president Trump as saying, quote, get ready for this. They were so quick to disband USAID, the group that supposedly supposedly instigates color revolutions, but they've done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, you might have been safer to keep your regime.
Now from a language and out, we've got a lot of action going on. But from a, I would say, analytical analysis of what they're talking about, this is not democracy activists talking about their different worldview or being apoplectic over tariffs. These are people who are using, in some cases, kinetic tactics to oppose president Trump and his administration. And to that point, they're actually hosting, as highlighted in this article, secret workshops promoting a tactic they called noncooperation. Again, a direct quote from one of these sources.
Quote, they're building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office, and they're planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike. And the go to document that they're circulating and using to buttress a lot of these activities, well, you probably wanna believe me or you think I'm joking, but I'm not. It's a quote, an old CIA pamphlet with allies who still work in the government called simple sabotage. And before we get into that, I know Mike Bens is gonna have a lot of thoughts on that. Let us just case closed.
I think War Room's theory of the case that there is no meaningful distinction between domestic policy and foreign policy. And frankly, of these foreign wars, these mass foreign surveillance states, the foreign interventionism really has only just been a really training ground, a test run for the tactics that they wanted to deploy, fine tune them, and hone them in here in The United States. And through a lot of these quotes and these programs, right, the idea that the people who carried out color revolutions, regime change, pro democracy movements, choose whatever euphemism you want, that those people are now turning inwards, right, not focusing on saving those countries, but instead weaponizing those tactics here in The United States proves not only that the deep state exists, I think we're far long gone past that, but that USAID, the state department, this foreign global apparatus really has been ground zero in the hotbed of so much of that resistance against president Trump. Now I wanna read some more quotes. You know, rarely do we quote legacy media outlets in the war room, but it's important to understand the enemy.
And I say the enemy because this is not just, you know, highfalutin MSNBC rhetoric. This is calls for kinetic action. Quote, widespread practice of simple sabotage will harass and demoralize enemy administrators and police. The saboteur may have to reverse his thinking where he formerly thought of keeping his tools sharp. He should now let them grow dull.
Services that formerly were lubricated should now be sanded, normally diligent. He should now be lazy and careless. And I guess we're supposed to what believe that those very same people had nothing to do with the not one, but two attempts on president Trump's life. They actually have a new group called democracy aid where they're having, quote, invite only workshops with federal employees who hear about them from their friends where they've, quote, shifted from salvaging the foreign assistance infrastructure to redeploying that inside The United States. Let that sink in.
The global apparatus that your tax dollars were used to set up to influence elections abroad are now being turned inward in a circular firing squad to come after the president that you voted for in the administration that you elected. And they're so bold, brave, and brash that they're willing to to be quoted on it in the media. Also flagging no conspiracies, no coincidences, the Brennan Center, that was one of the consulting firms and weird think tanks that, of course, none other than judge daughter was busy consulting on behalf of they receive a ton of Soros money. They put up a poll today that about half of all election officials and election workers are, and I quote, quote, concerned about politically motivated investigations. Well, to that, I would say, you probably should be.
And if you're worried about an investigation, probably means you did something wrong. And, of course, today, you saw this sweeping idea, right, that president Trump can't institute anything related to revoking birthright citizenship, sort of doing it through a class action lawsuit instead of the nationwide injunctions, right, kinda overruling what the supreme court did. Well, guess who was behind that lawsuit? None other than Norm Eisen, one of the lead architects of everything USAID and state department and color revolutions abroad. Now I do wanna flag one piece of very good news.
You know, we've really honed in on particularly The United States, shortage of rare earths, both both on the actual supply side, but also more importantly on the processing side, especially when we engage in these ever expanding tariffs war tariff wars not just against the PRC, but, based frankly, the whole world. The United States really has a critical shortage of these critical minerals. China dominates about upwards of 90% of the processing, the refinement of these critical rare earths, not just for your day to day lives, but, of course, for military technology too. And if we wanna toss the CNBC article up on screen and just a wonderful move from the defense department from secretary Pete Hegseth, Pentagon the Pentagon is set to become the largest shareholder. They really helped spearhead a new, if not the largest rare earth mine called Mountain Pass in The United States, which is going to help give us an upper hand against China.
You know, we talk about unrestricted warfare all the time. Right? The idea that you don't have to invade The United States to overtake a country. Frankly, I think they learned from Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires, that that's actually quite the depletion of resources. Instead, they want to create a White House where while it might not be flying the Chinese flag every single electricity, tool, utilities, you know, the the medicines, the prescriptions that you rely on.
We are all relying on the Chinese Communist Party for all of those supply chains, and the rare earth supply chain in particular has, I think, really grave ramifications for the national security of this country, and it's great to see the DOD stepping up their game and getting ahead of that. Now, Mike Bence, I wanna bring you on. Obviously, we're gonna hold you through the break. I guess, trigger warning to the audience. I will have to interrupt you.
I know that you don't like it when I do But just give me a few minutes on this notice piece because my head was exploding. Or I guess maybe it wasn't because I expect it, but your thoughts.
Speaker 1: Thought someone had plagiarized my work. I, you know, the this this concept I've been describing of a so called professional class of regime change specialists at USAID, the state department, and the CIA. In this language that I've been using for years now, which is that we have trained this professional class of government officials at USAID, the State Department, and the CIA with a very special set of skills, which is toppling governments that the US state department does not like, that the foreign policy establishment, US, UK, NATO, our transatlantic alliance. When we need a government gone, we have a professional class of specialists we employ to do that work. And they are concentrated at USAID, the state department, the central intelligence agency, and all of the USAID and state department funded NGOs and foundations and for profit, contractors of that network.
And this is fundamentally what this group has been doing to and against Trump, taking that special set of skills to deploy US government funded NGOs against the democratically elected president. This is the group that we send in to topple a democracy when we do
Speaker 0: not want be democratically elected. I apologize. However, I would think for all the military and military strategy that USAID and our betters over at State of Dunn, I'm a big fan of Sun Tzu. They should appear weak when they are strong and not be giving all these quotes and airing out their strategy to notice. That's my, humble critique, though I haven't received billions of payer dollars to reach that conclusion.
We're coming at you live from Tampa. We'll be right back after the short break with more Meg Bens.
