‘Seems A Bit Odd’ – Hillary ‘Fact Checked’ As Doubts Mount Over Pelosi Attack Claims
As rumors abound across social media, new details have emerged in the hammer assault on Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi — including the eyebrow-raising news that Pelosi referred to his assailant as a “friend” when calling police.
Paul Joseph Watson summarizes it all in 5 short words: “it seems a bit odd…”
Here’s an updated account as it’s been reported by the Los Angeles Times and various other media outlets citing police sources — along with some perspective on popular speculation about the incident.
After reportedly breaking through a rear door in the very early hours of Friday morning, DePape entered the house and at some point confronted Pelosi.
Pelosi excused himself from DePape by saying he needed to use the bathroom. There, he made a surreptitious 911 call on his cellphone, close to 2:30 am. Politico cites sources who say the phone had been charging there.
When directing the police response, the San Francisco Police dispatcher relayed what Pelosi said, referring to him as “RP,” which is police jargon for “reporting party”:
“RP stated that there’s a male in the home and that he’s going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn’t know who the male is, but he advised that his name is David and that he is a friend. RP sounded somewhat confused.”
In a police response that’s far from typical in America’s cities today, cops arrived at the Pelosi house in just about 2 minutes. They knocked, and someone opened the door, though it’s not clear who.
The police observed the two men, each with one hand on a single hammer, and ordered both of them to drop it. DePape immediately pulled it from Pelosi and started hitting him with it. The cops tackled DePape and took him into custody.
There’s something of an inconsistency in the LA Times characterization of Pelosi’s 911 call. The Times article, citing police sources, first reports that Pelosi “tricked” DePape and made a surreptitious phone call, but later, the same article says “officials believe Pelosi was intentionally giving coded information because the intruder knew Pelosi was on the phone.”
Perhaps the call started surreptitiously and but then DePape overheard him, or Pelosi was at least wary of it. With that in mind, it’s conceivable Pelosi wasn’t being sincere in calling DePape a “friend,” but rather was trying to soothe the reportedly nutty DePape, who’s been described as a “psychotic, homeless addict estranged from his nudist lover and their children” — and who “talks to angels.”
If Pelosi was being overheard or fearful of it, that may also explain why the dispatcher described Pelosi as sounding “somewhat confused.” At Friday’s press conference, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said dispatcher Heather Grimes had to read between the lines of Pelosi’s call for help:
“She had to interpret what she was being told. And based on her experience and intuition, she basically figured out that there was something more to this incident than what she was being told. Her actions, in my opinion, resulted in both a higher-priority dispatch and a faster police response.”
Famously, DePape is said to have yelled “Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?” It’s not exactly clear when.
Pelosi underwent surgery to “repair a skull fracture, and serious injuries to his right arm and hands,” according to a statement from Nancy Pelosi’s office.
All across social media, one can find assertions that DePape was in his underwear when police arrived, with others saying both he and Pelosi were in their underwear.
Citing “sources,” San Francisco Fox affiliate KTVU on Friday reported that DePape was in his underwear. However, KTVU has retracted that claim and posted a correction at the bottom of the article: “An earlier version of this story misstated what clothing the suspect was wearing when officers found him.”
Zero Hedge hasn’t found another credible source reporting that either DePape or Pelosi were only in underwear (though, at 2 am, it would be understandable if Pelosi was.)
However, there’s underwear talk all over Twitter and other platforms, along with people misinterpreting an imprecisely worded early SFPD statement to conclude that both Pelosi and DePape were holding hammers. Caught up in the frenzy, Dinesh D’Souza is among those losing credibility points over the weekend — even as he racks up tens of thousands of likes:
Finally, though Democrats and the media are quick to call the attack an act of political violence, police have not asserted a motive.
Having got all that out of the way, we note that none of it stopped Hillary Clinton jumping on the bandwagon that it must have been a MAGA, QAnon conspiracy theorist… to which Elon Musk promptly replied…
“There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye…”
Which he has since deleted.
Nevertheless, Glenn Greenwald brings up the elephant in the media’s room…
Perhaps, instead, Musk should have retweeted this perspective from Michael Shellenberger…
Neighbors described DePape as a homeless addict with a politics that was, until recently, left-wing, but of secondary importance to his psychotic and paranoid behavior.
“What I know about the family is that they’re very radical activists,” said one of DePape’s neighbors, a woman who only gave her first name, Trish.
“They seem very left. They are all about the Black Lives Matter movement. Gay pride. But they’re very detached from reality. They have called the cops on several of the neighbors, including us, claiming that we are plotting against them. It’s really weird to see that they are willing to be so aggressive toward somebody else who is also a lefty.”
Fact or conspiracy aside, the fact that a ‘conversation’ can be had without #InstaBan occurring seems like a positive step towards the restoration of freedom of speech… and the enabling of Americans to make their own minds up on matters – not be cajoled into one narrative uber alles.

Report: Fox News Tells Tucker Carlson He Is In Breach Of Contract By Posting Twitter Show
The network is considering suing Carlson, according to a report
According to a report by Axios, Tucker Carlson was contacted by Fox News after posting the first episode of his new show on Twitter, with his former network charging that he is now in breach of contract, and could be sued.
Axios reports:
Fox News Wednesday notified Tucker Carlson’s lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties.
Carlson’s lawyers told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights.
Carlson’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, stated “Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events.”
According to the report, Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar told Carlson’s people that “Fox expressly reserves all rights and remedies which are available to it at law or equity.”
“This evening we were made aware of Mr. Tucker Carlson’s appearance on Twitter in a video that lasted over 10 minutes,” Gugar’s letter reads.
It further notes that Carlson’s “services shall be completely exclusive to Fox,” and claims the host is “prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether ‘over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.'”
The report suggests that Carlson’s representatives are set to argue that Twitter is not a direct competitor of Fox News, and posts on the platform do not constitute a breach of his contract terms with the network.
Here is the epode in question, which now has over 100 MILLION views since it was posted just two days ago:
As we previously highlighted, Carlson doesn’t have any deal with Twitter and is posting like any other regular person.
Fox News hasn’t technically fired Carlson, it has just taken him off the air, meaning he is still locked into a contract until January 2025.
That means the popular host would be completely frozen out of being able to actively cover the 2024 presidential election.
Carlson’s detractors have voiced concern that should he be free to keep producing his own content, he will not be ‘policed’ or censored at all.

Biden Press Secretary Claims Illegal Immigration Is Down 70%, Says Food Prices Have Soared Due To “Poor Weather”
Can her lies get any bigger?
Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Wednesday that Americans are experiencing soaring costs for food because of “poor weather” and bird flu, and also claimed that illegal immigration is down 70 percent.
Americans have seen food prices soar by up to 12 percent on average since last year due to massive inflation, yet the Biden Administration wants you to believe its really because of “supply chain bottlenecks,” “avian flu,” “war in Ukraine,” and “poor weather,” basically anything other than their disastrous economic record.
It’s basically the same talking point that was laid out in the Wall Street Journal earlier this year when the outlet advised Americans who can’t afford food to stop eating meals.
Meanwhile, in another huge lie, the Press Secretary claimed illegal immigration is down 70 percent, despite record numbers having crossed the borders in May, including waves of suspected terrorists.
When asked about the legal parameters of moving illegal immigrants around the country, Jean-Pierre said she “cannot speak to the law.”
It’s slightly less of a massive lie than last month when she claimed that illegal immigration was down by 90 percent.
How much will she claim it is down by next month?

Video: Biden Press Secretary Defends Him Continually Stumbling And Falling Over
“Things happen”
Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre again attempted to brush off concerns that Joe Biden is constantly stumbling around and falling over, claiming “things happen,” and that “other Presidents have had similar situations.”
Jean-Pierre was questioned by NewsMax’s James Rosen who pointed out that Americans are concerned that Biden isn’t fit to run for another four year term as he appears frail.
“I want to ask about the President’s tumble that he took on the stage in Colorado the other day,” Rosen began, adding “It’s absolutely true that any one of us could trip over an object that just happens to be in our path. Nonetheless. We’ve all observed the difficulty this President has in certain settings.”
“Steps are one of them and of course there was no sand bag in his path on the steps up Air Force One on any of those occasions,” Rosen noted, adding “I was struck particularly by the incident on May 19, in Hiroshima where the President descended down a set of stone steps toward a shrine.”
“At the bottom of which steps he was greeted by the Japanese Prime Minister. And if you look at that footage, the President slipped and caught himself on those steps. And as he greeted the Prime Minister, you could even see on the president’s face, pursed lips as if to say this was a close one,” Rosen continued.
Here is the incident Rosen is referring to:

The reporter then asked “whether this whole series of incidents has led the White House Chief of Staff to direct some kind of review of the advance procedures that are employed on behalf of this, the nation’s oldest President?”
Jean-Pierre was having none of it, claiming she didn’t see anything that happened in Japan and then listing achievements Biden has accomplished as some sort of counter balance to him stumbling around.
“Your proposition may or may not be true, but it’s not responsive to my question,” Rosen responded.
The Press Secretary snapped back “You’re asking me if we’re going to change anything from here, the Chief of Staff has asked for it to change anything from here. And here’s the thing, here’s the thing. We are not. Things happen. Other Presidents have had similar situations.”
And with that she ended the press conference.
Watch:
Yesterday the Press Secretary refused to comment on whether Biden would actually survive another four years:
