Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appears on Meet the Press to debate Kirsten Welker’s formatted corporate media talking points.  The source of most American division is found in the behavior of the media.

Video and Transcript Below:

[TRANSCRIPT] – KRISTEN WELKER: And joining me now is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Secretary Bessent, welcome back to Meet the Press.

SEC. SCOTT BESSENT: Kristen, good to be with you today.

KRISTEN WELKER: It’s great to have you here in person. Thank you for being here. I want to start right there on the discussion of affordability. You just heard Vice President JD Vance ask people to have, quote, “a little bit of patience” with the administration. Let me ask you, Mr. Secretary, how long do Americans need to be patient? How long do they have to wait for the cost of living to come down?

SEC. SCOTT BESSENT: Well, Kristen, in March of 2024, I – I wrote a piece, and I talked about the three I’s that were killing Americans: immigration, interest rates and inflation. The president’s closed the border, and the mass immigration is gone. And that was putting – a lot of the immigration was putting upward pressure on housing, downward pressure on wages. Interest rates are down. And now we are starting to see the affordability – we – the prices get better. We had a very big October for home sales. Energy prices, gas – gasoline is down. We saw – we believe health care is going to come down. We will see an announcement this coming week on that. And so across the board, prices are starting to come down. We’re having Thanksgiving week. This will be the lowest cost for a Thanksgiving dinner in four years. Turkey prices are down 16%.

President Trump is calling attention to a recent podcast interview conducted by Lara Logan with Gary Berntsten and Ralph Pezzullo, surrounding the new book “Stolen Elections” as authored by Pezzullo. [TRUTH SOCIAL]

Several people have also sent me information related to this *video interview with strong recommendations to watch it and review the content.   The interview is over 2 hours long, and I know everyone’s time has value. I have only just begun to review the content, but I am sharing for those with interest.  WATCH: 

*Keep in mind, underneath all of the discussion is an intent to sell a book.  Out of respect for those who sent it to me, I will finish watching it.

Sometimes it pays to remind what Marco Rubio said back in February, “Ukraine is a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia.”  From that context the remarks from SSCI Vice-Chair, Senator Mark Warner, make sense.

Warner appears on ABC News ‘This Week’ to denounce the peace proposal now being negotiated in Geneva, Switzerland between Secretary Rubio and the Ukrainian delegation.  Senator Warner makes it clear he will not accept the end to conflict in Ukraine.  Video and Transcript Below:

[TRANSCRIPT] – Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner joins me now.

Good to see you this morning, Senator.

SEN. MARK WARNER (D-VA), INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE VICE CHAIR: Good morning, Martha.

RADDATZ: What is your reaction to this peace proposal that is on the table?

WARNER: My reaction is it’s awful. It would make Neville Chamberlain’s giving in to Hitler outside of World War II looks strong in comparison. The fact that this was almost a series of Russian talking points, would require Ukraine to give the — totality of the Donbas, parts they still control, cut back their military forces going forward, never be able to join NATO.

This would be a complete capitulation. And it’s why I think you’re hearing from Congress, both sides, people pushing back. And, obviously, the Europeans feel like they’ve been totally left high and dry.

Delegations from Ukraine and the USA have been holding talks in Geneva on a draft peace plan. No statement has been officially released, but Ukraine and Russia had received the draft 28-point plan aimed at ending the war. President Trump put the general deadline date of Thursday for review.

Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has said the plan could form the basis of an agreement, but Ukraine and its European money laundering stakeholders have expressed concern. Giving a brief update during discussions, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US and Ukrainian teams had held “probably the best meeting” since Trump returned to office.

Negotiations continued all day with Secretary Rubio noting significant progress has been made and talks will continue into tomorrow. Rubio noted, “we just need more time.” WATCH:

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been using his X Account all day to message with allies and “stakeholders” about the negotiations.  Zelenskyy is the performative face of opposition to the peace agreement and leveraging external pressure to maintain a fight that domestically has lost significant support.

President Trump has expressed frustration with Zelenskyy’s intransigence; however, if the reporting is accurate Zelenskyy has been informed this 26 or 28 point proposal is his last opportunity to negotiate in good faith before President Trump cuts off all assistance to Ukraine.   Secretary Rubio seems very optimistic.

When the Tea Party surfaced in 2010, the grassroots voter base (unvoiced in DC) did not have a figurehead. So, the UniParty apparatus weaponized the DOJ, IRS and regulatory agencies to target, divide and destroy us.

When the Tea Party reassembled in 2016, the grassroots voter base (unvoiced in DC) now had Donald Trump. So, the same UniParty weaponized the DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community to target, divide and destroy him first (Spygate, Russiagate, Impeachments etc.), until they could get back to targeting us (Arctic Frost).

The difference between the Tea Party targeting in 2010, and MAGA targeting 2016-through today, is the pesky impediment called Donald Trump.

Review the 15-year history and you will see these commonalities, including DC’s use of Main Justice and the FBI.

The McConnell-minded Republicans were happy to see the Tea Party targeted in 2011/2012. The same is true for the targeting of MAGA in later years.

This core reality is why I support President Trump; indeed, I actually cherish his fighting for us, because the alternative is reliance on our Republican abusers.

Battered Conservative No More.

President Trump delivers remarks to the assembled press pool, as he departs the White House for a meeting at Joint Base Andrews with golfing legend Jack Nicklaus.  President Trump is restoring the recreational area at Andrews AFB, and Nicklaus will be designing a complete update to the golf course.

President Trump answers questions from the press pool as he departs, including questions about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ukraine/Russia conflict, sending national guard troops to New York City and much more.

Please note that on the MTG issue, President Trump notes the relationship she began with Thomas Massie is the issue that created the conflict between Trump and MTG.  This point underscores the information previously provided about how Sea Island and ¹Ron DeSantis are the forward faces of the networks purposefully dividing MAGA.  Thomas Massie has been working for the DeSantis crew for a while.

¹ Most people have not studied the political networks, nor mapped out the behavior of the political owners to see the RdS program as it has unfolded for years.  At the core of the RdS owners stable is the Club for Growth PAC and their prior positioning for DeSantis to take the FL senate seat when Marco Rubio became Jeb Bush’s VP nominee.  That’s why RdS registered for Rubio’s seat in 2015.

[Sea Island Backup] When the ³Jeb/Rubio plan failed in ’16, the after effect (yes, an actual long-term plan) was RdS leaving congress in ’18 to run for Florida Governor and then later for ’24 GOP nomination.  [McIntosh and CfG always planned this.] RdS was always going to run in ’24; watching the ²journey makes the predictions easy.  That’s how CTH predicted DeSantis 2024 run in ’22, when everyone else said, “no way.”

[²The RGA gave DeSantis $20 million in 2023 because the Republican Governors could not factually fund a ’24 GOP nomination run, but they could fund a reelection effort early, which DeSantis could then transfer to his leadership PAC]

[³When you hear stories of the Bush family (Rove/Murdoch et al) planning a comeback after MAGA, this is exactly what this crew is talking about.  The horse you know as Ron DeSantis, is owned by Sea Island stables and trained by Bush Inc.]

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Twitter that she is resigning from Congress following her public feud with President Donald Trump. MTG will leave office January 5, 2026.

Marjorie Greene was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district. Prior to her surprise announcement she stood beside Representative Thomas Massie on controversial issues.

.

From the video, “I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

The FBI have given an extensive exclusive to Fox News Digital highlighting that President Trump’s attempted assassin Thomas Crooks acted alone in his efforts to target Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

It appears this information, from Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, specifically comes after Tucker Carlson ran a 30-minute segment pointing out inconsistencies in the FBI investigation.

(VIA FOX) – EXCLUSIVE: The FBI came to the conclusion that Butler, Pennsylvania, would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks acted alone — after a massive team doggedly pursued interviews with thousands of foreign and domestic individuals as part of an unprecedented global investigation into the 2024 shooting of President Donald Trump, the bureau told Fox News Digital as part of a lengthy, behind-the-curtain rundown of the probe.

FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and a senior official with direct involvement in the Butler, Pennsylvania, investigation sat down for an unprecedented interview with Fox News Digital for more than an hour Thursday afternoon at FBI headquarters. Patel told Fox News Digital that the investigation was a “Day One priority” for the bureau.

“Dan and I have been on this since we got here eight months ago. We not only had to maintain the chain of command to President Trump, but we had to remind the world that President Trump was the victim — one of the four victims — on that day,” Patel said. “There are victims’ rights rules that apply to him, and they don’t get erased because he is the president.”

The majority of New York City residents elected Zohran Mamdani as their mayor.  New Yorkers elected him, and New Yorkers are going to have to deal with the consequences of their choice.

True to form, President Trump invited mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to the White House and gave the representative of the New York voters the spotlight their choice represents.  President Trump then holds a media availability with Mayor-elect Mamdani to answer questions.  Sunlight is the best disinfectant.  WATCH:

.

What will the outcome be for New York City?  They will soon find out.

Senator Elissa Slotkin (Mich), a former CIA analyst who worked in the State Department and Pentagon during the Obama administration, organized a viral video with Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado.

The six congressional representatives directed their coordinated communication to members of the military and intelligence community. “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders … you must refuse illegal orders,” they asserted.

However, when questioned about what “illegal orders” President Trump has created, the six members are suddenly very quiet.  White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller responds:

.

Ultimately, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi could easily assign an FBI agent and U.S attorney to question the six members about the “illegal orders” they are telling the military and intelligence community to defy.

If Slotkin, Kelly and the rest cannot present evidence of an illegal order they are referring to, that would be a qualification that should presumably invoke a First Amendment defense claim, then charge them with simple sedition as defined in statute.
