Hey everyone, I'm back with another update.
In this episode, I'll cover illegal immigration related
news, Russiagate, the drama surrounding Jerome Powell,
endorsements and nominations, and Trump news.
Of course, I'll end with the noteworthy tidbits, starting
with illegal immigration relatednews.
Borders are. Tom Holman revealed that there
are about 59,000 illegal aliens in custody and there are less
(00:30):
than 400 beds available, so ICE is moving quickly to drastically
expand deportation capacity. Holman explained that not only
are more beds required, but alsoerrand ground transportation
contracts. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
confirmed that military bases inIndiana and New Jersey will be
housing illegal aliens who are waiting to be deported, and
Stephen Miller revealed that around 150,000 criminal aliens
(00:54):
have been arrested during President Trump's term so far.
A man who threatened to buy a firearm and take out ICE agents
and DHS Secretary Christy Noem was arrested and will face
federal charges for threatening to assault, kidnap, and murder a
United States official. Nearly a dozen illegal aliens
with convictions for battery, sex with a minor and other
felonies were arrested outside of a Home Depot in Sacramento,
(01:16):
and a Customs and Border Patrol officer was shot in the face and
arm by an illegal alien in New York City.
There were two assailants and the shooter had criminal charges
and was apprehended at the border in April 2023 but was
released into the United States.The officer fought back during
the incident, which is believed to be an attempted robbery.
He is in stable condition and expected to survive, and the two
(01:40):
suspects are in custody. In response to this, Holman said
the administration will be flooding the zone in sanctuary
cities. New border wall is going up in
Star County, Texas with construction nearly done already
and 10s of thousands of illegal aliens have already self
deported using the CBP Home app.This is saving the United States
millions in deportation costs onto Russiagate.
(02:01):
New documents from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi
Gabbard reveal that the Obama administration manufactured and
politicized intelligence to create the Trump Russia
narrative in the 2016 election. Director Gabbard has
declassified the files and some claim there is overwhelming
evidence showing that Obama and Deep State officials set up the
years long hoax investigation that plagued President Trump's
(02:22):
first term. According to Fox, it was found
that Russia did not impact the election through cyber
activities and Gabbard is demanding the criminal
prosecutions of the people involved in fomenting the Trump
Russia treasonous conspiracy narrative.
The list of those involved includes Obama, Clinton, Comedy,
Clapper, Brennan, Rice and others, and Gabbard said their
(02:42):
goal was to essentially not accept the decision of the
American people and to use this manufactured politicized
intelligence as a mean to enact what would become essentially a
years long coup against President Trump.
Abbard called for indictments and said over 100 documents.
This treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just
weeks before he was due to leaveoffice after President Trump had
(03:04):
already gotten elected. I will do all that I can.
Who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy?
They all must be held accountable.
More files exposing the Obama Deep State are expected to be
released by Gabbard this week, and those files are expected to
contain more detailed information.
Apparently some whistleblowers from the Obama administration
have come out of the woodwork and the Department of Justice
(03:26):
will soon receive their affidavits.
There are reports that there aretext messages and emails showing
Hillary Clinton campaign officials directly worked with
the Obama deep state community. And newly declassified files
from the DOJ show that James Comedy and Obama's FBI did not
adequately investigate the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal
while at the same time taking the debunked Trump Russia Steele
(03:48):
dossier's lies at face value. Senator Chuck Grassley said
Obama's Deep State legacy is allgoing on record now and General
Michael Flynn called on AttorneyGeneral Pam Bondi and FBI to
immediately raid Barack Obamas DC mansion and to revoke
passports from all Russia Gate Co conspirators.
Lastly, President Trump has declared that Obama himself
(04:09):
created the Russia Hoax in 2016 and that Hillary Clinton, Joe
Biden, and others participated in it.
Let's switch to the drama surrounding Jerome Powell.
President Trump continues to call for Fed Chair Jerome Powell
to cut the interest rate or resign, calling Powell one of
his worst appointments but accusing the Fed Board of being
equally to blame. Some are urging Trump to appoint
(04:29):
a replacement for Powell to nullify his voice and encourage
an early resignation. Senators Rand Paul and Rick
Scott filed legislation to mandate a full audit of the
Federal Reserve System, Board ofGovernors, and all regional Fed
banks, with Senator Scott sayingif the goal were to lose
trillions of dollars and get mired in scandals, Jay Powell
would be the gold standard. Senators Ted Cruz and John
(04:52):
Barrasso are also sponsoring this legislation, and Treasury
Secretary Scott Bessent expressed his support for a
thorough review. In response to Housing Director
Bill Pulte and Trump officials request for a tour of the $2.5
billion renovation project, Powell's team offered a tour at
7:00 PM on Friday when everyone had already gone home.
Powell has officially been referred to the DOJ on criminal
(05:14):
charges for lying underoath twice, with Congresswoman Ana
Paulina Luna accusing Powell of lying about the Federal Reserve
headquarters renovations. Shifting to endorsements and
nominations, President Trump endorsed Congressman Brandon
Gill, Max Miller, Kevin Hearn, Mark Messmer, Tracy Mann, Barry
Loudermilk, Derek Schmidt, Mark Harris and Congresswoman Lauren
(05:35):
Bobert, Stephanie Rice and Wagner and Monica De La Cruz for
reelection. As for what's new with nominees,
Trump called for Senate MajorityLeader John Thune to cancel the
August recess and long weekends to get his nominees confirmed
quicker, and Thune is considering it. 14 of the 15
Trump appointed federal judicialnominees have not yet been
confirmed by the Senate. Let's move on to Trump News.
(05:57):
A powerhouse lawsuit was filed against the Wall Street Journal
and everyone involved in publishing the false article,
claiming President Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein A crude but
friendly birthday letter. Trump plans to have Rupert
Murdoch called to testify and will be suing for $10 billion in
damages. The lawsuit was assigned to an
Obama appointed judge, so I'm not sure Trump will win this
(06:18):
one. The Trump White House is kicking
out the Wall Street Journal fromthe press pool covering Trump's
weekend trip to Scotland. President Trump signed the Pro
Crypto Genius Act into law and he announced he will immediately
try to save the Afghans who aided the US military and were
stranded after Biden's withdrawal.
They are now hiding in the UAE and face being handed over to
the Taliban. Lastly, Trump demanded an end to
(06:40):
cashless bail, saying crime in the cities skyrocketed.
