Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||

MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Well, I haven't had the occasion to go to East Palestine. | ||
| There's a lot going on here, and I just haven't been able to break. | ||
| I was thinking whether I'd go to East Palestine this week, but I was reminded I've got to go literally around the world. | ||
| I'm going from Washington to India to Vietnam to And so it's going to be a while. | ||
| But we're making sure that East Palestine has what they need materially in order to deal with their problems. | ||
| Democrats are winning the close races. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because I think the Democrats understand that you can be the superficial, which what we're seeing on the Republican side was substance. | |
| And the substance, the policies, the practices of the Biden-Harris administration, improving people's lives. | ||
| Look, this past week, this movement to reduce prescription drug prices, that's going to help Democrats. | ||
| But I have to say something, because, George, I'm old enough to say this. | ||
| I've seen two movements outside of the social justice movements in my life, on the political side. | ||
| One was the Reagan movement. | ||
| Reagan had a hold on his base, the country at large. | ||
| They saw him as someone who was willing to stand up for American values, whatever that might have meant. | ||
| Now, I thought it was reactionary. | ||
| The other movement I saw was Barack Obama. | ||
| Hope and change. | ||
| That galvanized the American people. | ||
| I've never seen anything like this with Donald Trump. | ||
| I mean, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger? | ||
| I mean, being convicted? | ||
| I mean, being indicted? | ||
| That's making them stronger? | ||
| Raising $10 million using an ugly mugshot to raise money? | ||
| This is a movement. | ||
| And anyone who thinks that you can apply the old political rules to try to defeat this candidate based on he's scary, he's ugly, whatever you might want to call him, This is a movement and we have to respect the fact that it's a movement. | ||
| ... from the Wall Street Journal that has President Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a dead heat in a 2024 general election matchup. | ||
| In the survey, 46% say they would vote for Biden while 46% say they would vote for Trump. | ||
| 8% say they are undecided. | ||
| So in this conversation, mixing this in really shows you where the country's at, Joe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's Trumpified. | |
| Well, just look at the numbers. | ||
| You've got 46% of Americans supporting a guy who's been indicted four times, indicted for stealing nuclear secrets, indicted for stealing war plans, called a rapist by a New York judge, saying that what he did was akin to rape. | ||
| You've got a guy that's being charged for his illegal payoffs to porn stars. | ||
| I mean, we could go down the list. | ||
| A guy who started a riot on January the 6th, an insurrection, had fake electors, had this fraudulent scheme to steal votes from millions and millions of Americans in seven swing states. | ||
| I mean, I could go on. | ||
| Called the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia and said, steal enough votes for me. | ||
| Find enough votes so I can steal Georgia. | ||
| 46% of Americans are voting for the guy who said he would terminate the Constitution to get back into power. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, those numbers are unbelievable, but yet there they are. | |
| I mean, the Wall Street Journal does good polling, and, you know, any one poll can be an outlier. | ||
| But there have been a lot of polls that indicate that if it's a Trump-Biden rematch, this is going to be a close election. | ||
| And again, that stupefies me. | ||
| It should not be a close election. | ||
| There is no way that any substantial portion of the electorate should support Donald Trump after what we saw during the four years of Donald Trump's presidency, after what we have seen in the years since Donald Trump's presidency, | ||
| After all the felony criminal charges filed against him in four cases with what is basically open and shut evidence. | ||
| You know, the man is an accused felon, what, 91 times or something like that? | ||
| the total number of counts against him yet, potentially 46% of Americans are willing to return him to the White House. | ||
| It certainly lays out what this poll, I think, does. | ||
| It should lay out to Democrats that this is going to be a close election. | ||
| They can't take anything for granted. | ||
| They should assume it's going to be decided by perhaps tens of thousands of voters in the swing states that we all know about. | ||
| They better get cracking now because there's a real risk. | ||
| I can't believe I'm saying this. | ||
| There's a risk that Donald Trump could return to the White House. | ||
| Well, a key part of Speaker McCovern-Parthy's strategy has been trying to convince hardline conservatives to back down. | ||
| As you and I reported, McCarthy held a conference call with his members last week and he argued that they should save these funding fights for later in the year when they actually do their long-term spending bills and essentially said now is not the time or place to make these demands about the border, Department of Justice, other things that conservatives have been digging in over. | ||
| But Kevin McCarthy is going to have to make a decision pretty soon here about what to do with supplemental funding and whether and how that's going to hitch a ride potentially on a short-term spending bill. | ||
| The White House requested $40 billion for both Ukraine aid and disaster relief, but hardliners want to see those issues delinked because they don't want to support any more money for Ukraine. | ||
| So that really sets up a potential showdown with both Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans who mostly do support more money for Ukraine. | ||
| I think Republican Congressman Mike Simpson, who serves on the appropriations panel, summed it up best when he told me, I tell people to buckle up. | ||
| It's going to be crazy for September, October, November, December. | ||
| The next four months are going to be wild. | ||
| And hanging over all of this is the motion to vacate the speaker's chair. | ||
| That is a procedural tool. | ||
| that would force a vote on ousting the sitting speaker. | ||
| It's something conservatives are threatening to use if they don't get their way in funding fights. | ||
| So just a very complicated dynamic for Kevin McCarthy and not a lot of time to figure it out. | ||
| There's an argument circulating about whether the 14th Amendment that prohibits anyone quote, engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office bars Trump from running for president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now, this hasn't been tested in our system before. | |
| Do you think—what is your thought on whether that's a valid argument? | ||
| I think it is a valid argument. | ||
| The 14th Amendment, Section 3, is pretty clear. | ||
| If you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government, or you give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running. | ||
| It doesn't require That you be convicted of insurrection. | ||
| It just requires that you have engaged in these acts. | ||
| It's a disqualification from holding office again. | ||
| And it fits Donald Trump to a T. I think this will be tested when a Secretary of State either refuses to put him on the ballot or puts him on the ballot and is challenged by a litigant. | ||
| I would imagine it will go up to the Supreme Court and that's the big question mark through all of this which is What will the Supreme Court do? | ||
| There are prominent constitutional scholars, as well as prominent progressive scholars, who believe that he should be disqualified, but will the court take that step? | ||
| Ultimately, only time will tell, but I do think it is a very legitimate issue. | ||
| By the clear terms of the 14th Amendment, he should be disqualified from holding office. | ||
| In my view, the attack on the Capitol that day was designed for a particular purpose at a particular moment, and that was to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power as is laid out in the Constitution. | ||
| So I think there is a powerful argument to be made. | ||
| My sense is it's probably going to get resolved in the courts. | ||
| But, you know, I think what we have to focus on on our side is we just got to win in 2024. | ||
| It is Tuesday, 5 September, the year of our Lord, 2023. | ||
| It's the first day back. | ||
| Summer is over. | ||
| School is back. | ||
| I know a lot of people started in August, but the traditional start of school today, everybody's back to work or should be back to work, except for the House of Representatives. | ||
| Associated Press just put out a huge story by Steve Peoples laying out the 2024 campaign. | ||
| Because remember, one year from today will be the traditional start of when the nation focuses. | ||
| Of course, we know that's kind of the old school politics now. | ||
| A big part of the nation, including this audience, focuses on what's happening politically. | ||
| 24-7. | ||
| Let me just lay out what's in front of us because it is quite intense. | ||
| G20, total meltdown in Ukraine. | ||
| Zelensky firing his defense minister. | ||
| Big questions about where the money is. | ||
| Xi not going to the G20. | ||
| Biggest story in the last 24 hours, the signal not the noise, is guess what? | ||
| As War Room told you on the day that McCarthy cratered to Biden on this horrible two-year This horrible two-year debt deal. | ||
| Two trillion dollars. | ||
| We told you the deficit was going to be two trillion dollars. | ||
| They said it was going to be a trillion. | ||
| We said two trillion. | ||
| This thing is exploding. | ||
| The phony business press, and by that I mean the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times of London, the New York Times business section, the Washington Post, they're all like, wow, how can this be happening with a growing economy? | ||
| How can this deficit? | ||
| They have never called out Joe Biden for any of the lies he's ever said that he's decreasing the deficit. | ||
| That is all propaganda, not data. | ||
| Before us, the stark realization By midnight on September 30th, we will have a $2 trillion deficit. | ||
| We told you this back in the spring when they cut this deal, this is going to happen. | ||
| Everybody said, oh, no, this is overreaction. | ||
| $2 trillion. | ||
| And as we told you then, now it's structural because of increased interest rates. | ||
| No matter what kind of voodoo they try to put on this, this is a financial meltdown in the country. | ||
| And any type of Phony faux prosperity is not prosperity. | ||
| All it is is massive government spending, and government spending is not a benefit to you. | ||
| Government spending is nothing more than a tax to you. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy's caught right in the middle of his lies. | ||
| Now his new lie is, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | ||
| We just need a CR and then get to an omnibus and we can take care of this on long-term spending. | ||
| No. | ||
| The game is over. | ||
| The game is over. | ||
| I've talked to enough rational members and their advisors over the last couple of days. | ||
| McCarthy is going to be put to the wall on this. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| He's going to be put to the wall on this. | ||
| No more happy talk. | ||
| No more spin. | ||
| You cut this deal. | ||
| You allowed this to happen. | ||
| All the people that came and said, we're going to take this through the appropriations process. | ||
| We're going to get this all out through the appropriations process. | ||
| That was all lies and spin. | ||
| Nothing has happened. | ||
| There's no appropriations bills have been approved. | ||
| They have nothing. | ||
| And now all they're going to do is do smoke and mirrors and throw you a shiny toy that, oh, you can't you can't force the Biden regime to shut down their own regime because to do that's going to slow down impeachment. | ||
| They're nowhere in impeachment. | ||
| They don't want to do impeachment. | ||
| They're just holding that out as a as a shiny toy. | ||
| You've seen the Democrats are in total complete meltdown because the polling, the internal polling, is much worse than they're even putting out. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal's poll has Trump in a dead heat. | ||
| We know those always underweight, the Trump movement. | ||
| And Donna Brazile says right there at the top of the show, it is a movement, a movement unlike any that she's ever seen before. | ||
| And you see Mourning Joe and these people are just aghast that how can possibly be people be supporting this? | ||
| Because Donald Trump Put the people of this country in the room and allow them to be decision-makers, and that's what they hate him. | ||
| The polling internally is even better than what is out there publicly, and they're in full meltdown now. | ||
| They're in total and complete meltdown. | ||
| They've got two lines of attack, and this is what I want people to keep in mind. | ||
| The one line is all the phony lawfare that they're coming after him with, opportunity costs to tie him down, to get him to focus on that. | ||
| The other is the The other is this attack on the 14th Amendment. | ||
| The 14th Amendment is revving up. | ||
| They know they have no constitutional basis whatsoever for the 14th Amendment, none, but they're going to try to kick in the state legislatures and make that a whole political warfare, a psyop, that he's not eligible because of some section 3 of the 14th Amendment. | ||
| It's complete total nonsense, but as we told you, they're going to try to kick up a firestorm in this. | ||
| But the ticking clock, the House of Representatives is going to get back and strip away all the phoniness to what Joe Biden's been doing to pump the economy up with fiat currency. | ||
| That fiat currency be the Federal Reserve notes you've got in your pocket printed by the Fed. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| There's obviously a lot going on. | ||
| We're going to go from Texas to Georgia. | ||
| Are the Nazis down in Florida, are they actually government workers? | ||
| FBI, CIA, we'll find that all out. | ||

| Warren Kenneth Paxton, Jr. | ||
| Warren Kenneth Paxton, Jr. | ||
| Attorney General of Texas. | ||
| I want to keep that on the split screen and just keep that rolling. | ||
| Let me just have the audio right there. | ||
| Over a hundred years ago, I think it was in 1917, a populist governor of Texas was impeached. | ||
| This is the first time since then. | ||
| Remember, this impeachment, as we said on the Saturday special, Is not really about Ken Paxton. | ||
| This is a once again in our 30 front war. | ||
| This is a massive front and that is because the ascendancy of the Trump movement, the populist movement in Texas versus the old Bush junta. | ||
| Ken Paxton remember beat the golden child George P. Bush. | ||
| The grandson of 41 who is going to be the next president, going to be a president here in the future. | ||
| That will not happen because of the populist grassroots movement. | ||
| The deplorables, MAGA, all of it tied together down in Texas. | ||
| And this is why the Bush junta has teamed with Democrats. | ||
| This is the exact same thing that's going on in our country. | ||
| In Texas, it's the impeachment trial of Ken Paxton. | ||
| We are calling on all MAGA to light the phones up of those senators and tell them let's wrap this thing up and also also The lieutenant governor Patrick Dan Patrick just go ahead and make sure you get to the lieutenant governor today Make sure you get to the senators today and say we want this thing wrapped up quickly. | ||
| These charges are ridiculous. | ||
| This is political but what you're seeing Here in a small scale is exactly what's going on in Georgia. | ||
| In Georgia, you have, once again, a Radical Democrats working with Kemp, who's a part of the Bush junta, right? | ||
| He's the Georgia branch of that. | ||
| That's the donor class, the establishment, the Uniparty, working with Radical Democrats. | ||
| Working with Fonny Willis. | ||
| And of course, I don't know if you saw the footage that came out on this film that's been out over the weekend. | ||
| I think we're going to have that either this afternoon or tomorrow because I just want to make sure we go through and do some checkings. | ||
| But that is in Georgia. | ||
| You got the exact same thing. | ||
| What's happening in Texas is the exact same thing. | ||
| It's happening. | ||
| It's a difference in degree, but not in kind. | ||
| It is the establishment working with radical Democrats to destroy the Trump movement. | ||
| In Georgia, of course, they're going after the innocent electors. | ||
| They're going after President Trump. | ||
| In Texas, they're going after Ken Paxton, using him as their instrumentality. | ||
| To get to all this. | ||
| But it's the same fight. | ||
| The same fight on the federal level. | ||
| The same fight on the national level. | ||
| Where you have radical Democrats partnering with the likes of Chris Christie and the Uniparty, this entire crowd, Sununu, whether it's in New Hampshire, all across the country, to thwart President Trump. | ||
| They're coming at him with all this phony lawfare, right? | ||
| And they're trying and trying and trying. | ||
| They understand it's not It's not sticking. | ||
| In fact, the Financial Times of London today has an incredible piece out there that now Trump is kind of a folk hero. | ||
| And you're seeing Biden – there's a big poll out today that Biden is losing Hispanic and African-American men. | ||
| And obviously he can't win without that coalition. | ||
| The Democrats are actually in panic mode because the lawfare aspect of this is not getting any traction on President Trump. | ||
| That's where they're coming out on the second line, their second vertical, right? | ||
| Their second line of work is this 14th Amendment. | ||
| We told you on the very day that the two federal society member federal society by leonard leo the biggest funder in the conservative movement with his billions of dollars the federalist society comes out with this bogus paper making some ridiculous claim about the constitution on the fourteenth amendment and there you've got uh... and all sudden i told you legally it means nothing constitutionally means nothing we had professor dershowitz on here Immediately we had Mike Davis, we had other people, but it's not about the Constitution. | ||
| They want to use that as political warfare. | ||
| They're going to get into the state legislatures. | ||
| They're going to have this whole firestorm that Trump's not eligible. | ||
| Why? | ||
| As they said at the beginning on Morning Joe, this is going to come down to this very close election that they're going to try to steal again. | ||
| That they're going to try to steal again. | ||
| They understand their backs up against the wall. | ||
| The American people are rejecting this. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because two-thirds of the American people believe in MAGA. | ||
| Two-thirds of the American people believe in America First. | ||
| And they understand that everything the mainstream media has been telling them Our bald-faced lies. | ||
| Let me go back to the importance of the two trillion dollar deficit. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times of London, the Business Section of the New York Times, the Business Section of the Washington Post, all of your bettors told you over and over and over again, they repeated They repeated Biden's lies about how he's cut the deficits, Biden's lies about how he's growing the economy. | ||
| They've repeated Biden's lies. | ||
| They've taken a face value and they provided a massive platform. | ||
| And now that the hard, cold math is in. | ||
| And that's by an independent group that looks at the budget deficits. | ||
| Two trillion dollars. | ||
| And it's going to get worse because now it's structural. | ||
| So McCarthy has nothing to hide behind. | ||
| Biden has nothing to hide behind. | ||
| Their moment of truth is here. | ||
| This is why, MAGA, you need to step up. | ||
| Have Ken Paxton's back. | ||
| In Texas. | ||
| Have Colton Moore's back in Georgia. | ||
| Have Donald Trump's back nationwide. | ||
| If we continue, by the way, have the back of the House Freedom Caucus and the other budget hawks and deficit hawks That are going to come up on this firefight that's going to take place when McCarthy gets back. | ||
| No more games. | ||
| No more lies. | ||
| Where are the cuts? | ||
| How do you get this thing balanced over time? | ||
| Where are all these plans that we had? | ||
| Why did you look the other way? | ||
| And The Messenger, this independent newspaper that's funded By a bunch of bigwigs, but occasionally has some pretty good news, has a huge lead story this morning about why the motion to vacate on McCarthy is real. | ||
| All they're going to try to do is throw shiny toys out there, shiny toys out there for you to see all the time. | ||
| And it's not about supplementals. | ||
| The supplemental should be dead in the water. | ||
| There should be not even a discussion of any more money for Ukraine. | ||
| If the Europeans want to put money into the Toronto House of Ukraine and allow more Ukrainian young men to get slaughtered, that's their choice. | ||
| But here in the United States, no more. | ||
| The entire festering sore that is the Zelensky regime over there is now coming to full light. | ||
| The New York Times even has a story over the weekend, where is the money? | ||
| Where did the money go? | ||
| Why is the defense minister cashiered? | ||
| Okay, we got Luke Masais from Defend Texas. | ||
| The deputy, he's with us. | ||
| We're going to keep the split screen. | ||
| Let's get Luke up. | ||
| Luke, tell us what's going on. | ||
| They're swearing in the jurors, the jurors of the senators, the state senators from the state of Texas. | ||
| What's the state of play down there in Texas on this, on basically a Moscow show trial of Ken Paxton, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's always important to remember, and Steve, thank you so much for what you've done. | |
| I will tell you that We have received far more feedback from Texans who were not that engaged in state politics. | ||
| So many people follow national politics and your show is what has brought them into this process. | ||
| This process that you know is really, really important for the future of not only our state, but also our nation. | ||
| I will say this. | ||
| It's important to remember that the Texas Senate has always been more responsive to the grassroots. | ||
| They're more responsive to pressure. | ||
| Also, they believe. | ||
| They align with us far more than the Texas House of Representatives does. | ||
| And so there are many grassroots people that are looking at today and tomorrow with some anticipation that we are going to see something different from The Senate, every single power broker in Austin, except for the handful of us that actually work with conservatives, are pressuring these senators to draw this trial out, to give it five or six weeks. | ||
| They're so upset that they might even decide to conclude this within the next week. | ||
| And so there's a lot of, but the grassroots are putting the pressure on them right now to say, hey, this should have never happened. | ||
| You were given to sham impeachment. | ||
| It's time to shut it down. | ||
| Luke, hang on for one second. | ||
| I'll hold you through the break, okay? | ||
| We're going to take off. | ||
| We're going to go to break with Billy Joe Shaver. | ||
| Get thee behind me, Satan. | ||
| I kind of dig this song. | ||
| Get thee behind me, Satan. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| We're going to Texas. | ||
| We're going to Georgia. | ||
| We're going to Florida. | ||
| All of it. | ||
| but stick around and strap in. | ||
|

|
I'll see you next time. | |
| Peace out. | ||
| Christ. I'm... | ||
| I looked into the mirror, and I couldn't see myself. | ||
| The demons that were in me, had turned me wrongside out. | ||
| I knew inside my soul, I was headed straight for hell. | ||
| But I couldn't for my life, figure how to help myself. | ||
| And I said, get thee behind me, say, There are 16 such motions that could result in dismissal of articles of impeachment. | ||
| to be voted on by the members of the jury, the senators. | ||
| There are 16 such motions that could result in dismissal of articles of impeachment. | ||
| Unlike regular session, where members speak and debate on the floor, the members pass rules which do not allow questions, discussions, or debate from the floor. | ||
| As you know, in a regular trial, a jury does not make public comments during a trial, and neither will this jury. | ||
| After the members of the court vote on the 16 dispositive motions, I will rule on the remaining eight motions, which the rules require the presiding officer to do. | ||
| It is possible, historic in the great state of Texas, And remember, Texas, like California and New York, if they were entities unto their own, would be one of the most powerful economies in the world. | ||
| It's a state of some of the proudest people in this republic, and the reason is they've earned it. | ||
| It is a great state with great people, and what is happening there today is power politics, raw power politics, up in your grill. | ||
| This is about the Trump movement, the populist movement, but the reason it signifies so much, because the last gasp of this Bush junta, the same group that had the back of the Chinese Communist Party after Tiananmen Square, when General Scowcroft went down, he was the National Security Advisor for Bush 41, to tell Deng Xiaoping and the Chinese Communist Party, we got your back. | ||
| In fact, we'll make sure you get into the World Trade Organization. | ||
| We'll make sure you get most favored nation status. | ||
| You just have to kind of clean up your house a little bit for optics. | ||
| Well, the blood was still in the pavement, still wet on the pavement of Tiananmen Square of those patriots that stood up with the goddess of democracy and said, we want to be free men and women. | ||
| Think about it for a second. | ||
| That's what you're up against. | ||
| Luke Messiahs, help us out here. | ||
| Put it in perspective. | ||
| What's going on in Texas? | ||
| Why is this important? | ||
| We had the Saturday special, people's heads were blown up. | ||
| Why is this historic trial more than just a simple trial about going after an attorney general in Texas? | ||
| It speaks to bigger issues in this nation today, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One of the people on your special was Chairman Matt Rinaldi, who's the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas. | |
| And one thing I think we can all say is refreshing is to hear a leader of the Republican Party actually standing up for the grassroots and not just kowtowing, cheerleading for the political class, which is what we usually get. | ||
| And that is a sign of what we've had building here in Texas, which is that the grassroots are continually taking over. | ||
| We have more power. | ||
| Over the Republican Party than ever before. | ||
| We have more power in the Republican primary process than ever before. | ||
| And these politicians are getting sick and tired of it. | ||
| And in the Texas House specifically, their grasp to power is done, is literally built on this alliance between the 61 Democrats And about 20, 25 Republicans, and they realized that they can hold a majority in any given time. | ||
| And so as they felt their power slipping, they realized that they had to shut this down, that this was time to take the head off the snake. | ||
| And they saw Ken Paxton as that, as a way to deal a massive blow to the America First movement. | ||
| And I don't know if you saw this, Steve, literally while we were gone for commercial break, Donald Trump Jr. | ||
| tweeted out, today marks another milestone in Ken Paxton's career of fighting the Austin Swamp and establishment. | ||
| Ken will survive and will continue to combat the swamp in Texas to put America first. | ||
| I'm looking forward to the upcoming 2024 primary season. | ||
| Rhino hunting season starts soon. | ||
| And that's what we're doing. | ||
| I mean, we're, we're literally, I've been fielding calls from people that three months ago had no intention of running for office and now saying, hey, my incumbent Republican is a sellout and we need somebody better. | ||
| I'm going to stand up. | ||
| And then they're calling friends of theirs who are upset about this, but more people need to know. | ||
| I was at a Labor Day gathering with family and one of my good family members, who's very conservative, did not know about the impeachment. | ||
| The vast majority of Republicans do, but some of these patriots don't. | ||
| And so if you don't know about this, you need to take action, reach out to your state Senator's office right now. | ||
| And call them. | ||
| Look, the senators can't tell you how they're going to vote because they're a jury, right? | ||
| But the reality is that their staff are still communicating to them what their constituents are saying. | ||
| So these senators, when they finish up today, they will walk back. | ||
| And if this isn't concluded today, these senators are going to walk back in and their staff are going to sit down and tell them. | ||
| And I've been in Capitol offices every single session since I was 17 years old. | ||
| Their staff is going to sit down with them and tell them, sir, we got You know, a thousand phone calls today and 900 of them told you to vote against this impeachment. | ||
| You decide what you're going to do, but that's the feedback we're getting. | ||
| And so I will just say that the Patriots on your show and others have been, you know, shutting down the phone lines, but we can't stop. | ||
| We have to literally keep this barrage up because every bit of pressure is to tell these guys to sell out. | ||
| There was a text message that went statewide to millions of Republicans. | ||
| Set up by this group that was created just a couple days ago, and they were freaking out because the grassroots are just completely bombarding them. | ||
| So they text out chapter one of the Paxton saga, all these attacks on Ken Paxton, and we realize that the guy who started it is a guy named Chad Wilbanks, who's a former executive director of the Republican Party of Texas, is mad that Matt Rinaldi and others are actually running the party in a conservative direction. | ||
| The last thing this guy did in Texas politics was try to Defeat Rick Perry for re-election with Kay Bailey Hutchinson. | ||
| I mean, literally, he has represented the worst of the worst of the worst in Texas politics. | ||
| Now he's a registered lobbyist and he's starting up shady groups to try to see if he can't help take down Ken Paxson. | ||
| That's what we're up against. | ||
| John Cornyn, George P. Bush, the rest of the Bush family, Texans for Lawsuit Reform, all of these moderate groups. | ||
| Texans for Lawsuit Reform is the number one donor To six, seven, eight of the Republican senators that are sitting there right now, and they have specifically told them, you need to vote against dismissing these charges. | ||
| You have to sit there for six weeks and run Ken through because Texans for Lawsuit Reform want to end Ken's political career. | ||
| So they're like, look, I don't care even if you ultimately vote against impeaching him, just make him suffer for six weeks because hopefully that will put us as moderates in a better position to get our own statewide elected when Ken Paxton leaves. | ||
| That's what we're up against. | ||
| Luke, where should people go today? | ||
| What's your website? | ||
| How do they get to the Lieutenant Governor's office? | ||
| Where do they go to make these calls? | ||
| Because I know people are gonna want to load in on this. | ||
| We can always tell by the chat, people are fired up. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| So what do folks do today? | ||
|

|
So if they want to go to what we're doing, which is kind of building this entire movement in Texas, that's defendtexasliberty.com. | |
| That's what you've sent multiple people to really appreciate that. | ||
| If they want to contact their senator, I actually recommend just going to WhoRepresentsMe Texas. | ||
| You can just Google that in. | ||
| There's a Senate website. | ||
| There's other places, just WhoRepresentsMe, and they can Type in their address, click enter, and it will pull up their state senator. | ||
| They click right there and his office phone number, direct office line, is right there. | ||
| That's the easy way if they don't know the senator that represents them. | ||
| If they know who their state senator is, they just need to go to his office website and call that number. | ||
| I'm telling you, you know, your followers know this more than most people, but the staff actually listen. | ||
| They tally all of this up, and so that's why we continue to tell people to reach out to their senators directly. | ||
| If they know somebody in the state that has more political influence, they should call them and say, have you reached out to the political people you know, the power brokers you know? | ||
| If they're a donor who's donated to people in the past, they need to text the people they've donated to and said, hey, I have worked hard and fought for you. | ||
| Because I believe that you've represented me. | ||
| Why is this happening? | ||
| So all of that direct communication, communication in the offices, this is all important. | ||
| And that's how people have their voices heard. | ||
| Ultimately, the senators are going to decide. | ||
| But hearing from their people is going to have a massive influence. | ||
| Luke, thank you very much. | ||
| One more time, where do people go for your site? | ||
| DefendTexasLiberty.com And can you give us your social media because people are going to want to follow this blow by blow. | ||

And I will be updating on my on my Twitter or X, whatever you call it, but I'll be up there like literally giving out multiple updates. | |
| It's at Luke Macias TX at Luke Macias TX. | ||
| And I will make sure to keep everyone updated on everything happening on the Senate floor. | ||
| And I know you will, too. | ||
| Luke, great job. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| We're going to pivot now to Georgia. | ||
| It's the same fight, different people in the drama. | ||
| Just like on Capitol Hill, remember, this is establishment Republicans working with radical Democrats to try to thwart the Trump movement, President Trump, the populist movement. | ||
| In Texas, it's the trial of Ken Paxton. | ||
| In Georgia, it's Fonny Willis working with Kemp, right? | ||
| The Bush representative in Georgia, Brian Kemp, the governor, working with a radical Fonny Willis, and of course this disastrous sheriff they got down there. | ||
| In Washington DC, it's Kevin McCarthy basically hugging Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| To get, what, 80 votes to pass the death-ceiling bill when 70 Republicans said no, and you're going to see more of that. | ||
| It's always the same. | ||
| It's the Uniparty, and now they're exposed. | ||
| Let's go to Colton Moore. | ||
| Senator Colton Moore in the great state of Georgia. | ||
| Senator, thank you for sitting through the Texas part of it. | ||
| You see the fight our brothers and sisters in Texas have. | ||
| Very similar to yours, sir? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Very similar. | ||
| You know, what's crazy about it is how hard they come after you when you start exposing these rhinos. | ||
| And, you know, there's going to be no different in my case. | ||
| I mean, like we've talked about on your show before, I mean, my fellow caucus members are considering voting me out, apparently, which is absolutely ridiculous, right? | ||
| We've got the Chairman of Ethics, the Chairman of our Ethics Committee in the Senate. | ||
| He signed on saying that Georgia was the number one state for election integrity and that we calling a special session would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. | ||
| Steven, this is the guy who chairs the committee that under Georgia law would have full subpoena power against Fannie Willis. | ||
| Would have the ability to bring her in, subpoena documents, and could do all the questioning, but he's saying that a special session would be too costly. | ||
| You know, I mean, I am exposing these rhinos, Steve, and that's why I need your audience to go to coltonmoore.com and get involved, because I need more ammo to expose more of these rhinos. | ||
| Now, you're going to have a press conference, correct me if I'm wrong, I think the way this plays out this week, you're going to have a press conference on Thursday. | ||
| Of course, some very explosive material came out over the weekend. | ||
| We're trying to vet it. | ||
| We either have it this afternoon or tomorrow about Fulton County, which is kind of mind-blowing from what I've seen of these films that are out there and this other material which we're still trying to vet. | ||
| But where do we stand? | ||
| With members of your caucus having your back, I mean, has anybody really stepped up here? | ||
| It's bad enough count, but what about these people that are supposed to be accountable to the citizens? | ||
| Georgia is a MAGA state. | ||
| Why are these senators not coming to your cause right now just to get into the Fawny Willis of it all? | ||
| You know, anytime one of these senators text me or say, you know, Colton, you're, you're going too far on this. | ||
| I send them back a study, Steve, by the university of Georgia and the AJC, which is extremely liberal newspaper, the Atlanta journal constitution. | ||
| And they say 83%, 83% of Georgians agree that what Fonny Willis is doing is being, it's all on politicization, right? | ||
| Her constitutional role is not to politicize her role. | ||
| Her role is to bring justice to the citizens of Fulton County, and instead she's taking on political prisoners, and 83% of Georgians recognize that. | ||
| Colton, can you hang with us for a second? | ||
| We'll just take a short commercial break. | ||
| I know you're jammed, but I've got a couple more questions I want to go through with you. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| This is why we started the show. | ||
| Remember, a year from now, this is going to be the most intense run-up to the 2024 election. | ||
| This is the first day back. | ||
| First day back to school. | ||
| First day back to work. | ||
| Summer is over. | ||
| And what you see is the Democrats, with establishment Republicans, whether it's in New Hampshire, whether it's in Georgia, whether it's in Texas, whether it's at the national level, and the game is up. | ||
| Because they no longer can hide behind just the pliant media. | ||
| Because we're going to be all over this. | ||
| And the biggest lie they've told this entire situation? | ||
| The lie that has the biggest impact on you immediately is this lie of what they've done about spending. | ||
| Bald-faced lie, and they knew it at the time, and the business media covered it up, and nobody else dug down on it. | ||
| And that is why the days of Kevin McCarthy have to be numbered unless he gets with the program. | ||
| Not his program, the program. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Gonna go back to Georgia. | ||
| Senator Colton Moore, in a minute, in the War Room. | ||

Who's your host? | |
| the ccp Spread the word all through hong kong We will fight till they're all gone We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the ccp. | ||
| Who's your host stephen k van? | ||
| Colton uh more what is it going to take? What is it going to take to rattle some cages down there? | ||
| in in georgia with kemp and with these senators Because just like in Texas, it's really the center of gravity down there is going to be the Senate about calling a special session on forcing the governor to. | ||
| What is it going to take? | ||
| What's your recommendation? | ||
| What does this audience need to do? | ||
| Steve, I love it every time the governor of Georgia or one of my fellow senators goes to a microphone because right now they continue to expose themselves as rhinos, right? | ||
| They say that a special session is too expensive, $50,000 a day, but yet they're willing to spend billions of dollars on film tax credits. | ||
| Absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| They keep saying that we're the number one state for election integrity, completely ignoring the fact that 40,000 affidavits You know, showed up that showcased election fraud. | ||
| So I love it when they go to the microphone and they expose themselves. | ||
| But it's going to take the constituencies of these senators and these representatives to remind them that they need to take action. | ||
| That pointing the finger at a prosecutorial commission or pointing the finger at the Bar Association or whatever they're pointing the finger at is not doing their job. | ||
| You know, the governor said calling for a special session may not be constitutional. | ||
| But a prosecutorial commission was. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| We as a legislature created a prosecutorial commission. | ||
| Now, how did we give something the authority to investigate and impeach if we didn't already have that authority ourselves? | ||
| You know, he continues to say that this is all about separation of powers. | ||
| But any high school kid coming out of government class, Steve, So I encourage all of your listeners in Georgia, call up, triple down, call up these senators, call up these representatives, go to your local GOP meeting. | ||
| away the funds when you see a judicial officer not doing her constitutional duty. | ||
| So I encourage all of your listeners in Georgia, call up, triple down, call up these senators, call up these representatives, go to your local GOP meeting. | ||
| The Chatham County GOP just put a letter out. | ||
| Their members voted unanimously to support a special session, even though their senator thinks that it would be a waste of money. | ||
| So that's where we are today. | ||
| If you live outside of the state, listen, I'm exposing these rhinos each and every day. | ||
| I just need to ammo up. | ||
| So if you can go to coltonmoore.com and send over some some more money that we can send and translate into text messages into these senators districts, reminding them that it is their Republican senator who is standing in the way of justice today. | ||
| Colton, what's your social media? | ||
| How do people follow you on social media for momentarily, moment-by-moment updates? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| If you're on X, it's real Colton Moore, just like real Donald Trump. | ||
| Colton, Senator Moore, thank you very much. | ||
| I look forward to your press conference. | ||
| I guess it's right now targeted for Thursday. | ||
| We'll hopefully be there live. | ||

That's right. | |
| All right. | ||
| Hope you can come out too. | ||
| We're going to have a Freedom Caucus event at noon just following. | ||
| Oh, perfect. | ||
| Yeah, we'll definitely pick that up. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| In fact, the State Freedom Caucuses are on fire this afternoon. | ||
| We're going to try to get Montana on here. | ||
| We're going to try to go around the states and see what's going on at the State Freedom Caucuses as the grassroots powers up. | ||
| Remember, all of these fights are because you have too much power right now, that you're starting to get too much power. | ||
| They want to stop this in its tracks. | ||
| This movement is growing, it's growing in every community, it's growing in every precinct, it's growing in every state, and the powers that be, the Uniparty don't want it. | ||
| That's why this house fight is going to be so monumental. | ||
| This house fight, the Uniparty is going to sit there and lie to you, going to look at you in the eye with a straight face and lie to you about everything with the budget, the numbers are out. | ||
| It's a two trillion dollar deficit, just like we told you here in the War Room on the day That thing was signed. | ||
| And now these deficits are going to be in perpetuity and they can't lie any more about it. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com right now. | ||
| We've got a whole, we have a whole chapter on the debt trap. | ||
| You've got a whole chapter on de-dollarization. | ||
| You've got a whole chapter on the politics of money. | ||
| We've got three installments. | ||
| We're coming out with a fourth installment. | ||
| You can find out everything about what happened in Durban, everything about what happened with alternative currencies. | ||
| They're trying to get up against the US dollar because the Uniparty is burying people throughout the world and taking their purchasing power. | ||
| Make sure you go to birchgold.com. | ||
| Why is the Federal Reserve focused on a central bank digital currency while the rest of the central banks of the Global South that have the resources are buying gold at a record rate? | ||
| Just ask that question. | ||
| Ask Philip Patrick and his team over at Birchgold. | ||
| Just ask that question. | ||
| Wait for the response. | ||
| Then I want you to think about it. | ||
| This show, The War Room, is about human agency. | ||
| It's about free men and women making decisions, coming together as teammates to thwart the uniparty, to thwart the globalists. | ||
| And they don't like it. | ||
| In fact, they hate it. | ||
| They want to put President Trump in prison for, what is it, six or seven hundred years? | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| Understanding that's failing. | ||
| Now they've got a bogus political warfare psyop on the 14th Amendment. | ||
| That's going to roll hard. | ||
| Everywhere it's the same. | ||
| It's Radical Democrats with Rhino-Bush-type Republicans working against the Populist Movement, working against the Nationalists, working against the Populists, working against the Trump Movement, working against President Trump. | ||
| Whether it's in Capitol Hill, whether it's the Sununu's in New Hampshire, whether it's Kemp down in Georgia, whether it's the Bush-Hunta down in Texas, it's the same battle on a different battlefield. | ||
| We're going to take you out with a song that kind of revs us up here on the kickoff, not just the work week, but the first day back because summer is over. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We got Laura Loomer. | ||
| We have Jim Hoff, I hope, and a lot more in the second hour. | ||
