• 1:00
  Speaker 3: from Miranda Devine about what this means for the future
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: at the FBI. All right, I want to take a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: moment talk about the economy. You've been seeing what's happening
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: on Wall Street. You've seen what's been happening with interest rates,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all time record highs.
• 1:17

• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It is official. Donald Trump is announced a major meeting
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: with Vladimir Putin. It's a high stakes meeting over the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Ukraine War and is certainly one that will be a
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: big part of his legacy. Even Russians are now cheering
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin's invitation to Alaska, and there does seem to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: be real optimism, as NATO's security general says they are
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: optimistic about Trump meeting with Putin as well. Zelensky also
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: getting in on the action, saying, quote, we will not
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: let Russia deceived the US now. President Trump announced this
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: via his platform True Social that he's gonna meet with
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin on Friday, August fifteenth in Alaska, marking the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: first face to face summit between the two since twenty nineteen,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and the first such US hosted summit of a leader
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: from Russia since nineteen eighty eight. The purpose very simple.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: The summit aims to discuss ending the war in Ukraine,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and Trump even hinted the deal could involve some swapping
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: of territories quote unquote.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: The meeting follows the deadline Trump set around August eighth
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: for Putin to agree to a cease fire or face
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: major secondary sanctions, though no concrete seas fire agreement was
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: reached by then. The Ukrainian position is this President Zelensky
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: firmly declaring that Ukraine will not seed any territory. He
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: emphasized that any peace deal must include Ukraine and be
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: just and lasting. Now Europe is also getting in on
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: this action. Leaders from the EU, including France, Germany, the UK, Italy, Poland,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Finland and the European Commission, demanded that Ukrainians must be
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: part of the negotiations and fiercely opposed any force territorial
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: changes when it comes to Ukraine. Then there's the diplomatic
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: pressure that is coming in. NATO's Security General said, Trump
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: will be quote testing Putin in the meeting a crucial
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: gauge of Putin's seriousness towards the issue of peace. So far,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: he has not really been in favorite peace at all,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and that's part of why this meeting is so vitally important.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: There is even the prospecting, certainly in the media, for
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the inclusion of Zelenski. While the meeting is currently bilateral,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: the White House says they have quote not ruled out
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: a trilateral summit including However, as of now, there has
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: been no formal invitation that has been extended to Zolensky.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And you may ask yourself the question why my White
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: House insiders are telling me they believe that it's time
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: for Donald Trump to be in the room with Putin
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to see where they are and if they are even
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: close to a real possibility of peace. Before you bring
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Zelensky into the room. There's also things that need to
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: be said between the President United States of American and
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin on what ramfications there will be on Russia
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: if they do not come to the table and actually
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: advocate for peace. Which brings me back to Zelensky. Zolensky
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: saying on Sunday that his country will not let Russia
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: deceive the US as this meeting between the two looms,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: saying quote, of course, our team is working with the
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: United States. Not a single day goes by without communication
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: on how to ensure real peace. We understand Russia's intention
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to try to deceive America. We will not allow out this.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Zelensky went on to say, quote, I greatly value the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: determination with which President Trump is committed to bringing an
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: end to the killing in this war that coming from
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: his official office. Now, in his first few months back
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: in office, Trump and his administration have push for an
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: end to the war in Ukraine. Unfortunately, Vladimir Putin seemed
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: not interested in that at all. Then, Trump said last
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: week he's going to meet with Putin in Alaska and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: hosting him for the talks and also letting him know
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: what the real landscape looks like moving forward, the highly
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: anticipated meeting between myself and President of the United States
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will take
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: place next Friday in the Great State of Alaska. Further
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Trump said in the True Social Platform. In the Sunday address,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Zelensky also said that each day many people are giving
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: their lives, but the sole root cause of these killings
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: is Putin's desire to win a war and manipulate everyone
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: he comes in contact with, Zelenski adding, we in Ukraine
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: know Russia well, and that is why, in extremely difficult
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: circumstances Ukrainians have endured more than three years of full
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: scale war. We will certainly defend our state and our independence.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I think everyone who is helping, which brings us back
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: to the legacy aspect of this meeting. There's no doubt
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: this will be a big part of Donald Trump's legacy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: And the question is does he have enough leverage over
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin to get this deal done, because it's very
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: clear that Vladimir Putin's not coming in looking for peace. Well,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: we know how successful the President has been in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: past at getting other countries to do deals together, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: there's a very good chance of the man who is
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the master of the art of the deal. Hopefully we'll
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: be able to save lives and get this deal done now.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Story number two, Cashpattel seems to be cleaning house at
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: the FBI. Yes, yes, that's exactly what is happening now
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: is Patel has decided is time to make sure he
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: has good people working there. We're into divine went on
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Maria Bartiromo's show on Fox News Sunday and had this
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: to say about what's going on at the FBI. You
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: also hear some audio from Dan Bongino and Cash Pttel
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: in an earlier interview they did at the very beginning,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I want you to listen carefully to what they're saying
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: about what we're doing now.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: To get to the bottom of something like January sixth,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: in the pipe bomber case, for example, you need three things.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: You need people, you need information, and you need people
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: with information. I'll allow the public to put that together
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: and just wait and you'll see nothing we're doing. Nothing
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: is by accident.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Dan, and I've already told the FBI every employee that
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: acted appropriately. We are going to defend you to the hill, literally,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: no matter the consequences. And that was FBI Director Cash
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Purtel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino with me and my
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: exclusive on the FBI back in May earlier this year.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: As more heads rolled at the FBI this past week,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: former FBI Acting Director Brian Driscoll and Special Agent Walter
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Giardina were forced out, among others. Forced out. Driscoll oversaw
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the January sixth investigation, while Giordina worked on cases against
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: President Trump and Peter Navarro, the trade executive in the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: White House who was ultimately convicted and sent to prison.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: During me now with more on all of this as
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: near close Palmist and Fox News contributor Miranda Devine, Miranda,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: great to see you. Literally, it's been a decade of
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: scandals led by the Democrats. But first get you you
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: want to get your take on these FBI changes. First
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: they promoted Driscoll and then they asked him to leave.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, and also Stephen Jensen and Walter Giardina, and these
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: people were all involved in the politicization of the FBI
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: under Joe Biden and Christopher Ray, attacking and persecuting Trump.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Allies and people who had worked for Trump, including the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon being jailed for contempt of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi effectively and the January sixth defendants. Stephen Jensen
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was in charge of the most over zealous prosecution persecution
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: investigation of these Trump allies, and so I think it
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: was long overdue.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Really.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I was surprised that they lasted as long as they did.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: But I think it's great that finally Cash Patel has
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: cleaned house. And I assume and your interview with Patel
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and Dan Bongino is the only record of this, But
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: there was method in the madness that there was a
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: reason to keep them close for the first six months
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and now to remove them summarily.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Marie, do what's your chake and what we're seeing? Are
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: we finally seeing some signals of some accountability. We've been
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: waiting for accountability from the Russia collusion nonsense to the
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: impeachments of Trump, the laptop from how how do you
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: see things now?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: That's a really good question, Maria, and I think we're
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: seeing really positive signs. There just seems to be a systematic,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: very orderly procession of investigations and subpoenas and grand juries.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: We saw on Friday that Leticia James, the Attorney General
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of New York, who prosecuted Trump every which way she
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: could find, as well as the notorious Adam Schiff, who
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of course was now is a Senator, but then was
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a congressman who led a lot of the Russia hoax
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: nonsense back in Trump's first term, and is really somebody
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like Letitia James who continues to mouth the refrain no
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: one is above the law. Well, they've found out that
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they're not above the law. Because Pam Bondi, the Attorney
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: General appointed on Thursday night Ed Martin as the special
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Attorney to investigate these two, he can bring up grand
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: juries wherever he likes, and he's done so. Grand Juries
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: are looking at Adam Schiff and Leticia James in Maryland
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and in Virginia on allegations of mortgage fraud, also bank
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: fraud and wire fraud. And these charges, if convicted on them,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they would serve up to thirty years in jail. So
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: it's a serious accountability.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: A serious accountability, that is all that we're asking for here,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: is it? You take a look at all of this
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: and you say, were their actual laws that were broken.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: That is what Miranda Devine is saying, is a real
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: possibility that there are real laws that were broken, real
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: corruption that we can clearly see. And because there is
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: real corruption, there are real laws that may have been broken,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: there should be accountability. This is all that the President
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: United States of America has been asking for, which is, hey, FBI,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: do your job. Take a look at all of these things,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: see what happened, and if there is something there, hold
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: those accountable for their actions. Now, you look at the
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: weaponization of our government, the weaponization of our deep state.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: You look at how it was weaponized to take out
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: political opponents. You'll get Letitia James. You look at those
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: in around Biden. You look at so many that were
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: just involved in incredible levels of corruption, and they all
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: thought they could get away with it because no one
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: would ever come knocking. Remember, they were the ones that
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: were knocking on the doors, raiding people's homes, even going
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: into the President of the United States of America's house.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Never ever forget that.
