The original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all. | |
| Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our Union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history. | ||
| Speaking at Gettysburg of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said, That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth. | ||
| So I ask you tonight to join me. | ||
| As we leave here, let us resolve that we will stand together, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, against those who would destroy our Republic. | ||
| They are angry and they are determined. | ||
| But they have not seen anything like the power of Americans united in defense of our Constitution and committed to the cause of freedom. | ||
| There is no greater power on this earth. | ||
| And with God's help, we will prevail. | ||
| Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney in her concession speech last night after losing her bid for re-election in a landslide. | ||
| Donald Trump made it his mission to defeat her. | ||
| We're going to discuss what is next in her effort to defeat him and his anti-democratic values. | ||
| So Joe, as Congressman Cheney pointed out last night, she won two years ago in her primary with 73% of the vote. | ||
| Last night, at this hour, she lost by 37 points. | ||
| That margin could change a little bit as the rest of the vote comes in. | ||
| But a landslide last night, a state that Donald Trump won in 2020 by 43 points. | ||
| So the voters there in Wyoming chose Donald Trump over Liz Cheney and the Cheney name that, as I said, has been an institution in their state for so long. | ||
| Yeah, and if, as she said, she could have won by 73% this time too, maybe even more. | ||
| All she had to do was go along with the lies, go along with conspiracy theories, go along with the anti-democratic actions on January the 6th, turn a blind eye to it. | ||
| And Liz Cheney refused to do it. | ||
| And I will tell you, the historical parallel Uh, to Lincoln's generals are fitting. | ||
| There was a famous moment where Lincoln said to McClellan, uh, a beloved union general who just wouldn't take the fight to Lee. | ||
| Uh, he's, he basically said to McClellan, sir, if you're not going to use your army, may I borrow them for a while? | ||
| Uh, and, and so one, one feckless union general after another until Grant. | ||
| And then after Grant Sherman taking total war to the south and doing what was required to win that war. | ||
| Here this is a political battle and we've seen one Republican after another flinch just like those union generals in the face of anti-democratic thinking. | ||
| She just wouldn't do it. | ||
| And I know Liz Cheney, like me, a conservative, I'm sure she's aware of Margaret Thatcher's words, but I quoted them yesterday because they're so fitting. | ||
| This is what Thatcher wrote in 1980. | ||
| If we were to fail, freedom could be imperiled. | ||
| So let us resist the blandishments of the faint hearts. | ||
| Let us ignore the howls and the threats of the extremists. | ||
| Let us stand together and do our duty. | ||
| And we shall not fail. | ||
| Very fitting. | ||
| A lot of historical parallels. | ||
| And John Heilman, none of them melodramatic. | ||
| A day after I had conversations with two Republicans I've known for decades, one my entire life, that were calling law enforcement officers the Gestapo. | ||
| Talking about revolution. | ||
| One conservative thinker who's been around since Reagan, and it's an established conservative thinker, saying to me, the United States government is not sacrosanct. | ||
| We can replace the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| Talking about revolution. | ||
| Comparing a guy from Delaware, a moderate from Delaware, to King George III. | ||
| Saying we did it before, we can overthrow the federal government again because, again, I want to say this again. | ||
| I'm going to say this again. | ||
| These flag-waving, Lee Greenwood-loving Republicans who lose one election to a moderate from Delaware, who is seen as being too close to credit card companies and being too moderate by many Democrats, This is a guy you're going to revolt against? | ||
| He said, we can replace the U.S. | ||
| government. | ||
| And family members comparing the FBI, law enforcement officers, to the Gestapo? | ||
| The stakes are so... Listening to the President's remarks yesterday around the passage and the signing of the reconciliation law now, he ended by talking about democracy. | ||
| And he said, there are those today who hold a dark and despairing view of this country. | ||
| I'm not one of them. | ||
| I believe in the future. | ||
| As you look at the political landscape, as you look at Liz Cheney losing by nearly 40 points in her primary last night just for standing up to Donald Trump around the events of January 6th, as you look at the kind of candidates Republicans are running where fealty to Donald Trump is a prerequisite in places like Arizona and Pennsylvania and Georgia, does the president believe democracy actually is at risk as early as this fall? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, it is the obligation of every generation of Americans to defend and reclaim their democracy. | |
| And we are seeing a challenge to that now. | ||
| We saw it with a violent mob trying to disrupt the election results being tabulated on Capitol Hill on January 6th, where lives were lost. | ||
| The loss of law enforcement lives and other lives on that day. | ||
| And then we've seen it with the persistence of the big lie this year. | ||
| You know, Congresswoman Cheney and I disagree, I think, on every single issue in American politics. | ||
| I don't think there's anything we agree on. | ||
| But I respect enormously her commitment to democracy. | ||
| I respect enormously that she took an oath of office to the Constitution and stood behind that oath instead of her commitment to one man. | ||
| And I respect enormously the fact that she spoke out for the truth instead of adopting the big lie. | ||
| And what we saw last night, when someone who won 73 percent of the vote last time and lost her primary by 40 points only because she wouldn't bend to the will of the ultra-MAGA wing of this Republican Party and swear fealty to Donald Trump. | ||
| That tells you a lot about the state of the Republican Party in this country right now and how extreme and how devoted to Donald Trump it is. | ||
| And so I do think the American people are going to have to fight for their democracy, stand up for their democracy, And make it clear where they are in the choice between the kind of extremism that the MAGA wing of the Republican Party represents and the alternatives about a constitutional system of government where not the rule of the mob, but the rule of law decides questions in our country. | ||
| Welcome, it's Wednesday, 17 August, the year of our Lord, 2022. | ||
| No, Boris Epstein and I did not script that out. | ||
| That actually came from their producers, their brains, their writers. | ||
| It seems like we sketched it out, we wrote it up, because it's like a parody. | ||
| What don't these guys get about democracy? | ||
| Liz Cheney and the Cheney apparatus in Wyoming got a democracy suppository last night. | ||
| It was a bigger win than we ever even envisioned. | ||
| I think Harriet Hageman will end up with close to 70% of the vote, or the anti-Cheney will be over 70% of the vote. | ||
| And remember, a big hunk of her votes are from Democrats. | ||
| It's a gimmick. | ||
| It is a crushing defeat of the controlled opposition. | ||
| That's all they pine for. | ||
| Is it controlled opposition? | ||
| Oh, we want lower taxes and smaller governments? | ||
| That's all bromides. | ||
| They're not prepared to take any action to actually make that happen, to cut spending, to get control of the Federal Reserve, to stop the forever wars where Liz Cheney made all her money. | ||
| The millions of dollars are coming up now. | ||
| So no, an absolutely massive win for MAGA last night, and you're here at the field headquarters of UltraMAGA. | ||
| I want to bring in Boris to get the assessment of those that are working on, let's make an announcement here quickly. | ||
| Boris, your assessment of last night, and by the way, we've got big wins. | ||
| It looks like coming in Alaska, Governor Palin is going to make it to the next round. | ||
| Kelly Chabaka is going to make it to the next round. | ||
| And this whole thing about the seat of Don Young, they say now it's going to take, I don't know, another week to count that vote. | ||
| I don't know why that's happening out there. | ||
| This Alaska system's got to be junked immediately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Terrible. | |
| Boris, give us your assessment of not just Cheney, but I mean the sacrilege Of using the Gettysburg Address to talk about what happened at Gettysburg for her own personal use, about President Lincoln, and talking about that amazing speech that goes to the heart of the American experience about her. | ||
| She has no following. | ||
| This is all just a left-wing media. | ||
| This is a Morning Joe. | ||
| This is the establishment just propping this up. | ||
| This is what's so, and so funny about it, she got crushed by something called, wait for it Ron Klain, democracy. | ||
| People going to the polls because Harriet Hageman had no money. | ||
| Liz Cheney had all the arms, remember she had what, 12 million dollars from all the arms manufacturers? | ||
| The same ones that, the ones, the same ones that enriched her. | ||
| She went from a couple of million bucks to what, 40 million dollars or something? | ||
| There's a new report out about her net worth. | ||
| Boris, your observations on all this. | ||
| Steve, honored to be with you. | ||
| Honored to be with the War on Posse. | ||
| A huge victorious morning. | ||
| And by the way, sorry about the bright light behind me. | ||
| Only about 48 hours left of the current undisclosed location. | ||
| We'll be back to where the light isn't bothering folks. | ||
| But hey, as somebody wrote to us in an email, wherever we are, we put on the cameras and we talk to the War on Posse, the MAGA movement, under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| And today, we are discussing an annihilation An absolute crushing of Liz Cheney and through her of RINOs, of any even sense that the Republican Party has any room, any notion, any movement, any interest It knows who's standing against MAGA and standing against President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| When President Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman, you know, about 11 months ago, there was a lot of hand-wringing. | ||
| Oh, is this going to work out? | ||
| Liz Cheney's so powerful. | ||
| Liz Cheney tweeted, bring it on. | ||
| She said, bring it on. | ||
| Well, Liz Cheney, a.k.a. | ||
| Dick Cheney's doppelganger, it's been brought. | ||
| It has been brought. | ||
| And you lost by 40. | ||
| You lost by 40. | ||
| To people who don't understand, the difference in this election was 50% bigger than the percentage that Liz Cheney got. | ||
| She was absolutely destroyed, Steve, as you said, by democracy, by the War on Posse, by the MAGA movement, and of course, ultimately, by President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| They called this race with about 3, 4, 5% of the votes in, and what this means, What this means is what we've been saying on this show for months and months and months. | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA is ascendant. | |
| 2021 was the year of MAGA. | ||
| 2022 is the year of MAGA on steroids. | ||
| And we just got some more proof of that yesterday. | ||
| We got the irrefutable proof of that yesterday. | ||
| Was this a repudiation of all the J6, you know, Morning Joe and the nighttime non-stop MSNBC CNN? | ||
| Was this a repudiation by working folks out in a great state like Wyoming about J6? | ||
| The committee? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| The people of the great state of Wyoming, including seemingly Democrats, because, you know, with this kind of drubbing, Democrats definitely voted in that election. | ||
| It doesn't seem like they all went for Elizabeth Cheney, yet Democrats go for Harriet Hageman, apparently. | ||
| The people of the great state of Wyoming came in and said, we have no time for the J6 kangaroo court charade. | ||
| We have no time for wasting Americans' taxpayer dollars while our country's going down the tubes. | ||
| And we have no time for nonsense Washington, D.C. | ||
| swamp creatures like Liz Cheney. | ||
| Remember when this was the first time she was back in Wyoming in months, maybe years? | ||
| The significance of this win by President Trump through Harriet Hageman cannot be understated. | ||
| What this means is that MAGA's ascendancy is now on a rocket booster. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| MAGA is stronger than it has ever been. | ||
| President Trump is stronger than he has ever been. | ||
| And the un-American and warranted raid last week on his home of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida only adds fuel to that rocket fire. | ||
| And now Liz Cheney's talking, oh yeah, I'm going to run for president. | ||
| That's going to work out for you, Liz Cheney, about as well as it worked out for McMuffin out there in Utah. | ||
| And I want to say one other thing, okay? | ||
| Tomorrow, McMuffin out there in Utah. | ||
| To, you know, Joe and Morning Mika and all these people. | ||
| Okay, stop with the reading of the Margaret Thatcher, okay? | ||
| I hate to break it to you and to paraphrase somebody who we know and support wholeheartedly and are here for every day, every night. | ||
| Liz Cheney, she's no Margaret Thatcher, okay? | ||
| No Margaret Thatcher. | ||
| Definitely not Margaret Thatcher. | ||
| Okay, I gotta bounce. | ||
| Give me your coordinates. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||

|
I'll see you tomorrow. | |
| Wow, you know the the MAGA guys have the best | ||
| Men and women have the best meme makers. | ||
| That was last night. | ||
| We appreciate it. | ||
| We're going to be using that and some others throughout the show. | ||
| Not that we want to spike the football. | ||
| We've got so much serious work to do. | ||
| We've got a lot to get through. | ||
| But I want to go to Wyoming. | ||
| Ben Berquam has been out there. | ||
| Ben, you were at the watch party last night. | ||
| Give us a sense of what you saw last night. | ||
| And you saw the cold open with Morning Joe. | ||
| They're sitting there quoting the Gettysburg Address and talking about General, you know, she's just she's either Abraham Lincoln or General Grant or she's a combo platter of both having just gotten smoked This is what the audacity this is the audacity and they said there. | ||
| Yeah, we're real conservatives and we're we're you're just controlled opposition I want limited government. | ||
| I want lower tax. | ||
| Yeah, that that's all nice But you got it. | ||
| You got to take action to get there That's my point. | ||
| You've got to take action to get there. | ||
| These same bromides as Joe Scarborough, that's when we have $30 trillion of debt. | ||
| That's when we have $9.5 trillion on the balance sheet of the Fed. | ||
| The economy is getting destroyed. | ||
| Target just announced they missed their earnings. | ||
| Target missed their earnings by, wait for it, 90% because consumers are just so strapped they can't buy anything. | ||
| Ben Berquam, your sense of the good folks in Wyoming and what message does it send to the nation and the world? | ||
| First off, Steve, it is a new morning in Wyoming, it is a new morning in America, but it's just the beginning of the fight that we have to continue to save this nation. | ||
| The self-righteous, sanctimonious arrogance by the left, they can't help themselves. | ||
| I'm watching Liz Cheney, I'm watching Morning Joe, I'm watching these Jackasses make fools of themselves. | ||
| They can't help it. | ||
| Quoting Lincoln. | ||
| It's just like... And Margaret Thatcher. | ||
| They would have been against Lincoln. | ||
| Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. | ||
| These people... Brother, brother, brother. | ||
| They're not quoting Lincoln. | ||
| They're quoting the Gettysburg Address. | ||
| If we have any sacred... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh! | |
| you know literature or anything sacred in civic society you know in the top five or the gettysburg dress she quoted the gettysburg address in her concession spree speech after getting smoked by democracy by people called voters voters free thinking free will voters ben burkwam steve and then they could call joe biden a moderate ignoring the bureaucratic state that is pulling his strings | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ugh! | |
| ignoring hunter by ignoring ukraine and the quid pro quo ignoring the fact that they tried to steal the election in twenty sixteen with the russia collusion hopes and then did steal it in twenty twenty ignoring all of that and then calling president trump's supporters the mob ignoring b l m in antifa burning down our country for four years It's absolutely disgusting. | ||
| Their arrogance is... | ||
| It makes me want to vomit. | ||
| You put that on for five minutes, the entire War Room posse, including myself, wants to throw up. | ||
| But the beauty is, it doesn't matter. | ||
| Because we won! | ||
| They are so bitter because we won! | ||
| Now we're going on to November and we're going to whoop them in November. | ||
| We're going to outvote the fraud in every one of these races. | ||
| The fight is just beginning. | ||
| And really, the biggest part to me is the betrayal by Liz Cheney and Joe Biden and the left and the moderates and the rhino Republicans on our southern border. | ||
| The fact that they have given our country over to the cartels in Mexico. | ||
| To China, to these multinational criminal organizations. | ||
| It is disgusting, but we the people know it. | ||
| We the posse know it and we're going to take it back in November. | ||
| We're not stopping. | ||
| We're not slowing down. | ||
| We're just getting started. | ||
| We're coming for you and we're going to win. | ||
| So just get ready. | ||
| And to the posse out there, I'm just telling you guys, get up, get fighting. | ||
| If you're not in the game yet, you're out of the game. | ||
| It's time to get up, step up, get involved, join your precinct captains, do everything that we've been talking about, Steve's been talking about for the last couple years. | ||
| Get involved right now. | ||
| Your children's future depend on it. | ||
| By the way, I want to thank everybody out in Wyoming. | ||
| Last night at the watch party, Ben was overwhelmed by the audience. | ||
| They love you. | ||
| I want to thank him. | ||
| It's the show and what they've done, and you guys were at the tip of the spear to defeat the Cheney apparatus, all the money they had. | ||
| This goes to the folks in Wyoming. | ||
| It was just incredible. | ||
| You sent a message to the world last night. | ||
| It was just incredible. | ||
| Ben, how do people follow you throughout the day, sir? | ||
| I'm going to be posting more. | ||

Tonight, Trump and his allies fanning the flames and pushing conspiracy theories as they try to get ahead of whatever the Justice Department may now have. | |
| Why are they going through, rifling through his desk? | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they want to indict him. | ||
| Because they understand he's the leader of the most powerful political movement in modern American history. | ||
| I actually think in all of American history. | ||

Drew Griffin is out front. | |
| And Drew, you have done so much reporting on the paranoia, the fear that is being stoked by Trump allies like Steve Bannon. | ||
| What are you seeing right now? | ||
| You know, to try to understand the madness of it, you have to approach it, Aaron, from their perspective, which is a war between good and evil. | ||
| The entire premise of the far-right media is this lie that Joe Biden is illegitimate president, illegally elected, and that Biden is surrounded by this army of Washington insiders called the Deep State that is doing everything they can to stop Trump from running again. | ||
| Steve Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist, He runs with this expanding false conspiracy daily on his podcast. | ||
| It grows and grows with every news event. | ||
| So, when FBI agents served a search warrant on Trump's, you know, resort, the rhetoric explodes, accusing the Department of Justice and FBI agents acting like, what else? | ||
| Nazis. | ||
| This whole raid, and that's what it was, this jack-booted, Gestapo-like raid by the FBI was all about ransacking and desecrating Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| They knew what this meant to the nation, they knew what it meant to the American people, they knew what it meant to MAGA. | ||
| They did it on purpose. | ||
| They were planning. | ||
| They're there to plant stuff. | ||
| That's what this was about. | ||
| That's why they kept the waters outside. | ||
| We're not going to be silent. | ||
| We're not going to comply. | ||
| We're not going to back down. | ||
| You're total scumbags. | ||
| You're lawless. | ||
| You've turned this thing into a political weapon. | ||
| It's a disgrace. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's got his viewers so whipped up, Bannon has even told them that Trump could be assassinated by the deep state to stop Trump from running again. | |
| This is what his audience has said day in and day out. | ||
| No proof. | ||
| It's not news. | ||
| But we know from talking to his own listeners, they believe it, Aaron. | ||
| It's just so incredibly dangerous, Drew. | ||
| I mean, and look, we know it's extreme, and as you point out, bands listeners may believe all of it, right? | ||
| They may believe it. | ||
| But I guess when I use the word dangerous, that is the question. | ||
| How far does this go in terms of its impact? | ||
| And that's why, unfortunately, we report on Steve Bannon specifically, because he's a big part of this modern-day Trump-era Republican Party. | ||
| David Chalian, you know our David Chalian, calls him the intellectual and cultural navigator for the party, setting the agenda even more than Donald Trump. | ||
| It's why we have so many of these fringe Congress people. | ||
| They show up on Bannon's show. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And it's amazing, as you point out, you remember back in the day when people talked about him as a puppeteer, right? | ||
| And then infamously angered Trump. | ||
| But that agenda that you're talking about is long term. | ||
| Yeah, extremely long term. | ||
| Right now, focused on the midterms. | ||
| But the big agenda here for this, this version of the Republican Party, they want to take over in all of it from school boards to congressional seats, then take over Congress this fall. | ||
| Trump back in the White House in 2024. | ||
| And Aaron, to take over the government, which they mean to get rid of the bureaucrats, the deep state, get rid of the FBI, the Department of Justice, all of it, transform the United States. | ||
| This is what they talk about. | ||
| This is the MAGA version of the country. | ||
| For them. | ||
| Pretty good summary of the plan. | ||
| By the way, is Erin Burnett's moan, is her, the eye roll and the disgust, it's almost at Mika levels now. | ||
| We're going to have to, we're going to do a compare and contrast on that later in the week. | ||
| Let's bring in Darren Beattie. | ||
| Darren, you've been doing amazing reporting, obviously at Revolver on the FBI. | ||
| Give us your assessment. | ||
| You've got breaking news. | ||
| You premiered it last night on Tucker. | ||
| It's been on your site for a couple of days. | ||
| Walk us through the FBI in their latest. | ||
| Well, thank you. | ||
| First of all, I have to say that clip, it's quite incredible. | ||
| They really, really want to take you out of the equation, Steve. | ||
| That's very clear. | ||
| And the reason for that is War Room is one of the few if only places you can go to hear the real stuff. | ||
| And it's turned into this huge juggernaut and it's just very satisfying to see how terrified they are of the existence of War Room and what you're doing. | ||
| You know, if I were them, I would probably have the same reaction. | ||
| So we just need to push harder. | ||
| And, um, look, you know, what can be said? | ||
| Merrick Garland's DOJ is a disgrace. | ||
| We're only beginning to see the skeletons that lie in Merrick Garland's closet, but that might be a conversation for another day. | ||
| Today, I want to talk about the pipe bomb scandal. | ||
| So There are two really, really crucial pieces up right now in Revolver.News about this pipe bomb. | ||
| One of the pieces, just a cold clean shot, proves definitively that the FBI is withholding, hiding, critical footage of the pipe bomber actually planting the pipe bomb. | ||
| Now, why in the world would the FBI, that's so solicitous to the public, oh, we want to catch this person. | ||
| Help us! | ||
| Here's all the video we can show you. | ||
| Here's, you know, what kind of shoes he or she was wearing, and so forth. | ||
| They want to help catch the person, and they withhold the one piece of footage that's arguably would be the most effective to help the public identify this person is, or even know what the person did. | ||
| Because, guess what? | ||
| There are a lot of questions about this DNC pipe bomb, including the fact that this bomber allegedly planted it like 8 p.m. | ||
| the evening before, and the DNC bomb wasn't found until the next day after the RNC bomb was reported at 1240 p.m. | ||
| That means there's this whole day of pedestrians, motorists... Darren, hang on, because we want to drill down more on this. | ||
| Take a short commercial break, back with Darren Beattie in just a moment. | ||
| great. | ||

Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead. | |
| lost his name. | ||
| In come the witch is dead! | ||
| Witch, oh witch, the wicked witch! | ||
| I tried to hold back and not not play that. | ||
| I love the Wizard of Oz. | ||
| You know, Wizard of Oz is actually very populous. | ||
| We'll get into that one day in Deconstructed. | ||
| It's actually a very populous film, written about in the late 19th century. | ||
| about populism. | ||
| We'll do that another time. | ||
| But, you know, I guess, you know, it's beneath War Room to do that, but I talk my producers into doing it. | ||
| So anyway, I may have some other fun in the rest of the show. | ||
| It is a day of celebration, but we've got to grind on. | ||
| We've got so much serious work to do. | ||
| We're also going to have updates in Alaska with Governor Palin in that congressional seat and also Kelly Chewbacca in her fight with Murkowski to try to take down the Murkowski dynasty. | ||
| But you should also know in New Hampshire, their heads are already blowing up about that poll with General Bolduc, the MAGA candidate, up at 32%, his next follower, the establishment candidate, I think at 14, and then a bunch of crypto guys and others at 4. | ||
| So they're coming after General Bolduc already. | ||
| Let's go to Darren Beattie. | ||
| Darren, so here's what I understand. | ||
| Darren, and your reporting on this has been amazing, but This has always been their, like their highest priority, but then it kind of fades from, from, from view. | ||
| Then they bring it back. | ||
| If they've got the video and you've kind of, you know, it's a little bit like you're in Dealey Plaza. | ||
| You, you've, you know, you've, you've got every angle on this thing covered by your reporting. | ||
| Why doesn't the FBI just put the footage out? | ||
| And so then we can, the public can really crowdsource this and find the perpetrator, sir. | ||
| You know what Steve, that's a great question and I'd like to emphasize this isn't just any piece of video. | ||
| This is the portion of the video in which the pipe bomber is depicted actually planting the bomb and placing the bomb down. | ||
| That's the one piece of footage that they use the bad camera angle to release to the public and don't release the good camera angle which we know they have. | ||
| Now, it's kind of bizarre to me that given that we reported this, the Democrats aren't demanding that Merrick Garland release this footage, because guess what? | ||
| From their perspective, it's a MAGA pipe bomber from January 6th who planted an explosive device in front of their national headquarters. | ||
| You would think that they would want all the information possible in order to catch this guy, and you wonder why the FBI would specifically and precisely exclude the one critical piece of footage that's probably most likely to help identify this guy. | ||
| And if I can contextualize this really pressing question in light of other really damning facts about the pipe bomb, for one, The DNC pipe bomb wasn't found until early afternoon the next day, and it was basically right out there in the open. | ||
| It was by a scooter. | ||
| Revolver News in our piece, we did a Google image file on it, and there's this Security agents standing literally eight feet away from where the pipe bomb was, uh, planted. | ||
| And this is a DNC security guard. | ||
| So you have DNC security, you have pedestrians, you have motorists, and you even have the Secret Service, because as we now know, Kamala Harris was in the building, and reports now say that the Secret Service swept the building, they swept the entrances and exits, and the pipe bomb was planted, like, eight feet away from an exit. | ||
| And so we're supposed to believe everyone missed this, And the pipe bombs were only discovered, there was another one at the RNC, and the circumstances of the RNC's pipe bomb discovery is even more bizarre than the fact that the DNC one wasn't discovered. | ||
| The RNC pipe bomb was discovered, allegedly, by some random pedestrian at 1240. | ||
| So, the pedestrian reported the pipe bomb and Capitol Police started responding to it at 12.49, which is one minute before that initial assault on the western perimeter of the Capitol. | ||
| Not only that, but this person who found it at 12.40 said that the timer was stuck indicating that there was 20 minutes left. | ||
| That aligns precisely with the impression that it was set to go off at 1 p.m. | ||
| when the congressional certification proceedings were to happen. | ||
| So how did this pipe bomber have the confidence that no one would find the DNC bomb and someone would just happen to stumble upon the RNC bomb at a time that was nearly perfectly synchronized with both the initial assault on the Capitol and the beginning of the congressional proceedings? | ||
| It's simply beggar's belief. | ||
| The pipe bomb issue is just as much a hoax as Ray Epps. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Ray Epps actually makes a cameo in this revolver piece. | ||
| Because according to a new report by the Epoch Times, Epps, in his interview with the FBI, they asked him, well, what the hell are you doing in D.C.? | ||
| He said, you know what? | ||
| I was worried that someone would set explosive devices on the side streets near the Capitol, and that's why I went to D.C. | ||
| I just wanted to go there with my first aid kit to protect people, just in case someone planted explosives on side streets. | ||
| And sure enough, they found these pipe bombs on side streets literally blocks from the Capitol. | ||
| And here's the amazing thing. | ||
| The FBI doesn't even ask a follow-up question about the pipe bombs, when literally Ray Epps is the only guy on camera saying, go into the Capitol. | ||
| And now he's telling the FBI that he had some advanced knowledge or bizarre intuition about explosive devices on side streets, which actually were found. | ||
| And they were found at such precise timing that the operative theory of many officials, including Stephen Son, the former head of the Capitol Police, Is that they were placed there to divert from that initial decisive assault on the Capitol perimeter in which Ray Epps was a chief participant. | ||
| And the FBI doesn't think, well, maybe we should at least ask a follow-up question about this? | ||
| This is so dark and so dirty. | ||
| We need to lay this right at Merrick Garland's doorstep, right at Christopher Wray's doorstep, and right at the corrupt | ||
| The gentleman, quote-unquote gentleman, FBI agent, who ran the whole failed Sham-Whitmer kidnapping plot, and as a reward for that, of all the agents he could have chosen, Christopher Wray, of all the agents in the country he could have chosen, Christopher Wray chooses the scumbag who ran the Michigan Fednap operation | ||
| In a critical position in the months before January 6th and after to head the Washington, D.C. | ||
| field office. | ||
| All of these... The Feds' erection. | ||
| They had to. | ||
| By the way, it actually makes total sense. | ||
| Darren, how do people get to Revolver in your social media? | ||
| We'll have you back on to drill down on this more. | ||
| I want to talk to you later about the repudiation of J6 committee by the vote yesterday in Wyoming. | ||

| So go to revolver.news, read that. | ||
| I'm on Twitter at Darren J. Beattie. | ||

| Let's go to Mike Davis. | ||
| Let's not play the cold open because I want to get Mike in. | ||
| I've got Frank on deck. | ||
| Mike Davis, you just heard about the pipe bomb. | ||
| Your assessment, you know, we played the cold open before you got on. | ||
| They're all over War Room about calling out the FBI, calling out the DOJ. | ||
| Yesterday I went off on this whole thing of the passport and how possibly they could have taken President Trump's diplomatic, active diplomatic passport when you know that the filter agent or the agent there had to call Washington DC to ask permission. | ||
| Who gave permission for that? | ||
| What's the chain of command? | ||
| What was the sign-off? | ||
| The FBI, this this ransacking raid, the more we find out about it, looks awful. | ||
| And now the president's called for fully to back Tom Fitton in the New York Times and wants the affidavit totally turned over. | ||
| Give us your assessment of where we are in this, sir. | ||
| I need some, I tell you what, Mike, you got to cut yourself off mute there, buddy, I think. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
|

|
Okay. | |
| Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. | ||
| Let's back up to the beginning. | ||
| You know, you let Mike Davis have a day off, you have to retrain him. | ||
| Take the mute off. | ||
| Okay, you ready to go, bro? | ||
| So yeah, I think what the American people are seeing very clearly here is that the Justice Department, including the FBI, is completely politicized and it's been weaponized against people who disagree with the ruling regime, against the Uniparty, and they have been trying to get Trump Since day one, since before day one, they try to get him with Russian collusion. | ||
| Now they're going after him on this nonsense about espionage and so-called classified records, these routine Presidential Records Acts disputes. | ||
| presidential record at act disputes between a former president of the bureaucrats the national archives they try to weaponize the justice department to influence several elections and i what needs to happen out of this when republicans takeover the house unlikely the senate there needs to be a church style commissioned to get to the bottom of this and they need to do s serious structural reforms at the fbi they need to but the problem with the fbi is it there is only one | ||
| politically appointed person the director and he is on a ten-year term so there is that directors almost always got get about to the to the bureaucrats at the fbi There's no political accountability. | ||
| What they need to do is they need to have several layers of politically appointed, Senate-confirmed, politically accountable layers of leadership at the FBI, like they do at Maine Justice, where the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Assistant Attorneys General are all President-appointed, Senate-confirmed. | ||
| They need to do the same thing at the FBI, where it's the Director The deputy director and the assistant directors and even the assistant directors who are the special agents in charge of the major offices like Washington, D.C. | ||
| There has to be political accountability. | ||
| There has to be more transparency. | ||
| They need to have it where the assistant director of the special agent in charge of the Washington field office can be called before the Senate because he's a president appointed Senate confirmed official and that he could be held accountable. | ||
| It's not just a Republican or Democrat thing. | ||
| This is an ongoing problem. | ||
| My former boss, Chairman Chuck Grassley, has been owner of the FBI for decades. | ||
| And if he's the Judiciary Committee chairman again, come January, he's going to start doing serious reforms to the FBI. | ||
| What in the interim, what can be done? | ||
| They're going to go before the judge on Thursday about the affidavit. | ||
| I mean, what's your recommendation? | ||
| Do you agree that all the affidavits should be turned over? | ||
| And what else can be done now to get to the bottom of this basic fiasco that's kind of locked the country up about this FBI ransacking and raid on Mar-a-Lago? | ||
| So yes, this affidavit should absolutely be released. | ||
| They could even redact sources and methods and names. | ||
| The problem is that the Justice Department, the Biden Justice Department, is selectively, inappropriately leaking from this affidavit, drip, drip, drip, with information that's damaging or they think is damaging to Trump. | ||
| Just release the affidavit, right? | ||
| Trump's saying, release it, release it. | ||
| I think what Trump's lawyers need to do, and they needed to do this yesterday, is get in there and file a motion to quash uh... | ||
| the subpoena for the but the materials that they got from this this whole rate and to a motion to recuse this magistrate judge bruce reiner he's clearly conflicted under both the united states code and he has a conflict understand about i can into it can into a into of the judicial candidates he has a clear bias against president trump read a minimum of the parent bias he just recused seven eight seven weeks ago in trump versus hillary clinton is this face book post yet from two | ||
| the seventeen worry clearly does not like trump the need to recuse them watch subpoena and get the affidavit Mike, can you just hang on through the commercial break and we've got Frank Gaffney going to come up too. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to join us on the other side. | ||
| Frank Gaffney is also going to join us. | ||
| Frank's been working this problem for many, many, many years. | ||

| Some Trump allies are pushing DOJ to release more information about that Mar-a-Lago search. | ||
| And let's be clear, that's a legitimate request for a court to hear. | ||
| And a court will decide it, as we reported tonight. | ||
| So that's what the adversarial process is supposed to look like. | ||
| Other Trump allies, though, and top former staff are reaching for something else. | ||
| Despicable attacks on American police and the FBI and the absurd but dangerous Nazi analogies from top Republicans. | ||
| Take convicted Trump aide Steve Bannon literally claiming the FBI in America is now like, he says, like the Nazi secret police known as the Gestapo. | ||
| They've turned into the American Gestapo. | ||
| MAGA is a direct threat to the, wait for it, the American state. | ||
| You said this quiet part out loud. | ||

Do you think Donald Trump should be in any fear of the deepest of deep states maybe killing him? | |

|
It's out to destroy a particular person, Donald Trump. | |
| Obstructing justice on what, you jerks? | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| Stuff that you had planned on an investigation that you basically created out of whole cloth. | ||
| What they've been doing to President Trump is political persecution. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Mike Davis, you see it all right there. | ||
| We're going to have you back to talk about more of the details, particularly of the passport. | ||
| This passport has really got me. | ||
| I mean, they had to have direct authorization from Washington, and it had to go to DOJ. | ||
| The FBI is not going to approve that for an agent to take an active diplomatic passport of the President of the United States. | ||
| It's almost inconceivable, Mike Davis. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it came from Maine Justice. | ||
| It came from the National Security Division. | ||
| That Jay Black guy, the guy who's running the counter-espionage section at the National Security Division, is running That search. | ||
| So he's the one who clearly approved that. | ||
| And I let me make a point about that. | ||
| They're saying that we're attacking law enforcement. | ||
| That is complete nonsense. | ||
| We as Trump supporters, as conservatives, we have complete respect for the line officers in the FBI, the law enforcement agents. | ||
| They're just doing their jobs. | ||
| We have a problem with the political leadership. | ||
| We have a problem with Attorney General Merrick Garland. | ||
| We have a problem with FBI Director Chris Wray, we have a problem with the people in Maine Justice, the political leadership. | ||
| This has nothing to do with an attack on law enforcement. | ||
| And for them to say that this is an attack on law enforcement is just a complete deflection about their unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful raid of a former president. | ||
| Mike Davis, how do people track you? | ||
| What's your coordinates on social media? | ||
| That's articlethreeproject.org, articlethreeproject.org, at articlethreeproject, on Twitter and Truth, and my personal is MRDDMIA. | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you very much. | ||
| Let me bring in Frank Gaffney. | ||
| We want to get to everything that's happening on China and the CCP and the community and the presidential, but Frank, one of the reasons I want you to bat third here, you've been fighting this for a long time. | ||
| This part of the administrative state with the FBI just didn't occur, it just didn't happen overnight. | ||
| I just want you to give a short history of your involvement of the problem with the FBI. | ||
| Hey, no offense. | ||
| Before the attack on 9-11, when they botched that, and then afterwards about radical jihad. | ||
| I mean, you were an outcast. | ||
| You weren't even invited to CPAC for a decade, I think it was, because you kept saying, hey, our apparatus is not taking this radical jihad threat to the United States. | ||
| Seriously, Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Well, you're so right, Steve. | ||
| One of the issues that we tumbled upon through circumstances that we don't have time to get into here was the Bush administration was subjected to a very aggressive influence operation by the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| Before it came to office, they credited support from the Muslim community in getting them elected to office. | ||
| And afterwards, the dividends that were paid on that influence operation were huge, because when 9-11 happened, President Bush was told by people like Karl Rove, he needed to be seen with some of these Muslim leaders, all of whom were Muslim brothers, and he began taking advice from them Which led, among other things, to his famous declaration that Islam is a religion of peace. | ||
| So with that kind of command guidance, Steve, you had the FBI falling into line and all they could talk about was domestic, or not domestic at the time, international terrorism. | ||
| No mention of jihad, no mention of Sharia, the Islamic doctrine that commands it, no mention of the fact that that's what animates all of these guys is Sharia supremacism. | ||
| So I think you're absolutely right. | ||
| From that day to this, we have seen a politicization of the FBI, a willingness on its part to do exactly what it was told by political authorities, and the devil take the hindmost with respect to the law, especially the principle of equal justice under the law. | ||
| And worse yet, it has of late been weaponized against not international terrorists, but against so-called domestic ones. | ||
| Talk to us about the Ambassador to the United States from China did something that was unprecedented. | ||
| He had like a press conference for 90 minutes and railed in the nation's capital, in our capital, railed against the American people, the American military. | ||
| What we're doing to defend Taiwan, what we're doing to defend the South China Sea. | ||
| I mean, if you know the way that Asian nations comport with other nations, it is unprecedented to be in the nation's capital. | ||
| Can you imagine us in Beijing ever doing that? | ||
| The guy would be in leg irons. | ||
| Give us a summary of your thoughts about where we stand right now with Xi when they're talking about this in Bali right after the election, having a meeting with Joe Biden. | ||
| Look, Steve, you put your finger on one of the main frustrations here, and there is absolutely no reciprocity. | ||
| We don't even ask for it, let alone insist upon it. | ||
| So it's inconceivable that an American diplomat would be doing what this wolf lawyer diplomat, the Chinese ambassador here, has done. | ||
| And he's doing it on stage there, but you can bet that he's doing it in every other platform and meeting that he has. | ||
| In this country, and the point of it is it is bespeaking the aggressiveness of Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| We are documenting this with your help every week in two webinars. | ||
| One that talks about the Chinese Communist Party's unrestricted warfare against us. | ||
| The other that talks about the betrayal of our country by the neighbors. | ||
| Frank, hang on. | ||
| I want to spend more time and give you a better time to talk about these things. | ||
| I want everybody in the audience to get access and they're totally free. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
