unidentified		From Africa.
		They come from Asia.
		They come from South America.
		But not just South America, they're all over the world.
		They dump them on the border and they pour into our country.
		And it's true.
		They're destroying the blood of our country.
		That's what they're doing.
		They're destroying our country.
		They don't like it when I said that.
		And I never read Mein Kampf.
donald j trump ▲ ● ▼		They said, oh, Hitler said that.
unidentified		In a much different way.
		They're destroying the fabric of our country.
		And we're gonna have to get him out.
		Jason, don't- guess we don't have to be confused anymore about what he meant.
		Look, Alicia, I've never been confused.
		Remember, this is the guy who said there were decent people on both sides when it attacked, you know, Charlottesville, which is my alma mater, University of Virginia.
		But I think the bigger issue is this.
		It's not just a realization that we have at least 30 percent of the country that's OK with openly Nazi rhetoric.
		It's not just the fact that the man has spent the last seven years using this kind of terminology.
		Remember, back in November, we were talking about him referring to immigrants as vermin.
		It's the idea that we are now at a point in public discourse.
		Where a man who is going to be the nominee for one of the main political organizations in this country has to vocally say, and by the way, I didn't get this from Mein Kampf.
		Think about that.
		Think about the fact that we're in that particular point of conversation.
		Like if you met someone who said, hey, hey, hey, I didn't get these mittens from clubbing baby seals over the course of the weekend.
		If you have to explain that, it suggests that we probably think you do club baby seals.
		So, I think what's important strategically, and from a coverage standpoint, is that we recognize that we're not just dealing with a racist.
		Lots of people in America are okay with racists.
		We're dealing with an authoritarian.
		We're dealing with someone who does not fundamentally believe in the American project, and that's always how we have to discuss it, because this isn't going to stop.
		I mean, if he could get away with just saying the N-word in any other slur, he'd get away with it anytime soon.
		to the Republican candidates argument that this should be, the voters should have the say and not the courts.
		Why are you standing with Confederates who betrayed this country?
		And this is what they're standing with is the spirit of those Confederates rather than the Americans who came together after a long and brutal civil war that was fought to keep the union together and saw, clearly saw a threat in ex-Confederates running for office so much so that they amended the Constitution to prevent.
		you Those traitors from running for office, that should send a message that our election system, our electoral system, can be used for nefarious purposes against the democracy itself.
		It's clear.
		It's clear as day.
		Matt, there are 14th Amendment cases pending across the country, if you want to take a look at that there.
		How will those other cases be affected if the Supreme Court upholds this ruling?
		Well, Donald Trump's strategy is always to delay every court case and court everything possible.
		So I think what he would try and do, go to the United States Supreme Court, and then if they agree to hear the case, then say to all these other states, Hey, you gotta pause these state court challenges while the United States Supreme Court decides this.
		I don't think that's actually right.
		I think all of these should go forward.
		I think nothing else is a matter of history.
		And for the record, we should have as many states on the record as possible with their views on this really momentous question.
		And this goes to, Alicia, something you asked Judge Ludig a moment ago, which is Donald Trump's defense to this is, well, I haven't been convicted of a crime and therefore I haven't been convicted of insurrection in a criminal case.
		Therefore, I can't be disqualified from the ballot.
		It's notable that at the very same time as he's saying that, he's trying to delay the criminal cases that would adjudicate that very question in Georgia and Washington, D.C.
		And, you know, Justice Frankfurter once said, you can't play ducks and drakes with the federal judiciary.
		And that's basically what Donald Trump is doing.
		I think the United States Supreme Court is going to see through those gambits.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Pray for our enemies.
unidentified		Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I got a free shot 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.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified		MAGA Media.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified		Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved!
unidentified		War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's Wednesday, 20 December, the year of our Lord, 2023.
		Thank you very much for coming to the late afternoon, early evening edition of The Boar Room.
		I would like to tell you that the Christmas season was going to be low-key and we could spend time with the family.
		We're going to do that, but there's going to be an immense amount of news and important things happening, I can tell you already.
		This Colorado situation is blowing up, as we warned you the very day that Leonard Leo and his team published, quite frankly, I think the phony initial documents on this, the thought piece about the constitutionality of all of this.
		I've asked Mark Paoletta.
		Mark was the White House, was the VP's counsel, and was absolutely critical with Don McGahn in forming a committee that really helped screen and actually help President Trump select a couple of justices for the Supreme Court and actually got him through.
		So Mark, thank you in that regard for your service to the country.
		Putting in perspective what you're seeing on this brother, and I know your firm, I think, followed Amicus' brief on some of the Jack Smith stuff, but you've been the biggest offender outside surrogate for Justice Thomas.
		You wrote the book, Created Equal, the conversations with Justice Thomas.
		I know you're personally very close to him.
		This whole, because I said this at the beginning.
		They're going to come hard, because this is political optics, they're going to come hard next to the Supreme Court on recusing, I think, the justices that President Trump selected to try to form a court opinion on this 14th Amendment.
		Your thoughts, sir?
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we're seeing the attacks on the Supreme Court have been unprecedented.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		It's resulted in assassination attempts, all generated by the left, all generated by Chuck Schumer.
unidentified		Right.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Let's just make sure this is not some fringe part of the left or the Democrat Party.
		This is the Democrat Party that has precipitated this.
		The leaders of the Democrat Party.
		Violence, you know, protests outside justices' homes, violence.
		They have 24-hour security.
		And now you're right, Steve.
		You're seeing it this past week.
		He calls for Justice Thomas to recuse because his wife has her own opinions about the 2020 election.
		And it just shows how desperate they are, right?
		That we did do something right with the Supreme Court.
		Thank God for President Trump appointing three justices.
		I am so proud and so blessed to have worked on Justice Thomas's confirmation back in 1991.
		And his utter destruction of the Democrats' attempt To take him down in 1991 is one of the things for the ages, right?
		And he was worth every ounce of blood and sweat that we lost during that confirmation battle.
		But that's what they're trying to do today, is go after Justice Thomas in particular.
		He's a black conservative and they hate him.
		He triggers their racism.
		It shows how racist the left is.
		And it's to try and come up with crazy new standards to say, you can't sit on this case, right?
		You know, for the war room, right?
		It's shrinking the court.
		That's what they're trying to do.
		They're trying to shrink the court so they have their preferred justices listening, ruling on some of these cases.
		This Colorado case is insane.
		In fact, I actually think that it will be a 9-0 decision.
		Uh, because it's so preposterous.
		Uh, so I think you will get some of the liberal justices because this is such an affront to the 14th amendment, to our democracy, uh, to the, to the rule of law.
		Um, you just mentioned that my law firm, Shear Jaffe, uh, filed an amicus brief today that essentially says that Jack Smith, uh, is not a constitutional officer, is not a valid legal appointment, uh, under the constitution that to be a, you know, only Congress can make the Office of Special Counsel.
		They never did that.
		This comes out of that whole mess.
		That was the Independent Council, which was an abomination, right?
		And what you saw there, right, was that it was lawfare and criminalizing policy differences that the Democrats started with the Independent Council Act, I think in 1978, went after lots of Republicans.
		The minute it bit the Democrats, right, with Bill Clinton, they dropped it.
		They let that statute expire.
		What came in its place was the Office of Special Counsel, which was only regulations by Janet Reno, a horrible, right, Attorney General under Bill Clinton.
		And it's those regulations that govern what's going on today, right?
		And the bottom line is, there's no Office of Special Counsel.
		The Congress needs to create one.
		And two, you can't have the Attorney General willy-nilly just appoint a private citizen to carry out criminal prosecution powers, right?
		If you had appointed a U.S.
		attorney, a presidentially appointed Senate-confirmed appointee to do this, like they've done in the past with other special counsels, that would be legally sufficient.
		But here, I think this amicus brief that's filed by Ed Meese, my law firm is representing Ed Meese, and Steve Calabresi, who's a founder of the Federalist Society, making that argument.
		So I think it's a powerful argument.
		We'll see how the court considers it.
		But again, it's this lawfare, Steve, warfare, really, on the court, on President Trump.
		This Colorado case is just crazy.
		I think it will lose 9-0.
		It will show the American people that all of these states or all these efforts to go after President Trump are just off their rocker.
		And like I said, going back to Justice Thomas and the efforts to, as you raised, sideline some of the Supreme Court justices on these cases, right?
		This is our greatest bulwark, right?
		And the posse should know we need to defend the Supreme Court.
		It is the last line of defense of our republic.
		And, you know, Justice Barrett, Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Gorsuch, those are the Trump ones.
		They need, you know, support, right?
		And they will come after them.
		They're doing it to Justice Thomas.
		They've gone after Justice Alito.
		But it's really to try and shrink the court with what I call made up There was a famous case I've written about, and I'll actually read some of it.
		There was a case several years ago, probably the most liberal judge in the United States.
		His name was Stephen Reinhardt.
		He's passed away now.
		He's on the Ninth Circuit, right?
		I think he was the most reverse judge in the federal system.
		But he had a case where it was the same-sex marriage ban.
	that California had ratified for their state constitution to ban same-sex marriages.
	And there was a constitutional challenge to it. Reinhart's wife, her name was Ramona Ripson, she was the head of the ACLU local chapter. And she was absolutely opposed to this ban, was very vocal on it. And the ACLU chapter filed two briefs opposing this ban in the court below.
	This case comes up to the Ninth Circuit before Judge Reinhart, and he doesn't recuse.
	And he says, My wife and I share fundamental interests by virtue of our marriage, but her views regarding issues of public significance are her own and cannot be imputed to me, no matter how prominently she expresses them.
	The views are hers, not mine, and I do not in any way condition my opinions on the positions she takes regarding issues. My wife has no interest in the outcome of this case that may be substantially affected by its outcome over and beyond the interest of any American with a strong view concerning social issues that confront this nation. Now switch out those names Justice Thomas and Ginny Thomas, right? And you know, the left was absolutely fine with
	Judge Reinhart sitting on that case and taking up, you know, taking up the- And this is an example where his wife actually was in the legal proceedings below.
	Stephen Gillers, who's this left wing judicial ethics expert, so-called, filed a brief defending Reinhardt and his wife and said anyone who opposes Judge Reinhardt sitting on this case is living in the 15th century.
	So, you know, Ginny Thomas doesn't do anything in the legal lane.
	She's a conservative activist, you know her.
	She's a dear friend of ours.
	I represented her in the January 6th investigation, right?
	They went after Justice Thomas's wife for just exercising her constitutional rights to try and get at Justice Thomas.
	And so we need to resist these efforts and we need to push back.
	And I lay a lot of these arguments out in op-eds and on my Twitter feed, on my ex...
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		But, hang on...
		Hang on.
		We're going to have our Christmas music up finally.
		I want to thank the team.
		Mark, hang over a second because I've got another question to ask you about the amicus brief and also about the recusal.
		Just hang on.
		Mark Paoletta will join us on the other side.
		Raynor Jackson is also with us.
		Rahim, we're going to talk about the Southern border, next.
unidentified		We can find underneath the mountain, bright and gleaming, and they are both the throne.
		Of all the trees that are in the woods, the holly bears the crown.
		O the rising of the sun, and the running of the deer, the playing of the merry-go-round, the dancing, singing in the wild.
		The holly bears the blossom, as white as the moon.
		Merry Christmas, Mark.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		First off, aren't they... Judge Thomas, Justice Thomas, which you just listed, it's no way.
		I mean, that's ridiculous.
		They're coming after him, but that's absurd.
		People know it's absurd.
		And we do need to have his back, right?
		Support, calls, all that.
		But the three justices that we worked on, or at least I worked on the first two and you, but you know...
		They're Trump appointees.
		They're going to make a huge deal.
		I see it coming.
		They got to recuse themselves for the 14th Amendment issue.
		What say you, sir?
unidentified		That's absolutely absurd.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		And, you know, people have to remember that at the Supreme Court, right, when you have recusal issues, first of all, there's no Recusals only are required in like if there's a financial interest or if it's a family member or some sort of close personal friend.
		If you had this idea that just because you were appointed by a justice, I mean by a president, you'd have to recuse that that would cripple the Supreme Court.
		It doesn't make any sense.
		It's not required as a practical matter.
		It would mean Justice Jackson should be recusing from the student loan.
		thing or, you know, Justice Kagan should be recusing from the Obama stuff.
		It just doesn't work that way.
		Presidents appoint justices.
		They're all ethical people.
		There's no financial, you know, interest or that kind of stuff, no matter how close they were, you know, beforehand.
		You know, Kagan was in the solicitor general's office, right?
		Was solicitor general under Obama.
		So there's absolutely no reason for any of those those those three justices that I'm aware of.
		And based on these facts that they would have to recuse.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Did they have a duty?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		To sit for these and not refuse?
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		In the way that works, Steve, yes, they have a duty to sit.
		And I think they just re articulated that articulated that in the recent code of ethics, which is the Supreme Court's different, right?
		In the court, the courts below courts of appeals, district court judges, if you have a conflict, or and it's still you should treat those as you know, It really has to be a conflict.
		But you can be a little bit, sort of, kind of bleed out a little bit in terms of the grayness of it and be, you know, more cautious and say, yeah, I'm going to recuse.
		Why?
		Because another judge can take my spot right away, right?
		There's 30 district court judges in a particular district.
		On the courts of appeals, they sit in panels of three, and there's probably 18 to 30 judges that could take your place if you have to sit out, right?
		On the Supreme Court, there are only nine Supreme Court justices.
		So that's the game, right?
		Can we try and make somebody recuse and take them off the field?
		Because you literally then come down to eight or to seven.
		And so it changed the whole dynamic of the court.
		So Supreme Court justices have a unique duty to sit, and it's recognized by everyone.
		It's been recognized for whatever, the history of the Supreme Court.
		It's just the left now, right?
		It's really, really important to understand this.
		All this ethics, so-called ethics stuff, is garbage.
		There's nothing wrong with the Supreme Court.
		They have a higher approval rating than the President of the United States, than the Congress.
		The Congress is in the 17%, so it doesn't matter what their approval rating is.
		They are, particularly Justice Thomas, these assaults on him, this one the other day that was in ProPublica, It had to do with him allegedly complaining about his pay.
		I've never heard him complain about his pay, but it's such a ridiculous story.
		But they just want to try and take him out, create these issues so that people don't believe in the Supreme Court.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Real quickly, the amicus brief, I love, but that's such a huge issue.
		Why has someone not gone to court?
		I mean, this is fundamental.
		Why are we not in court with a real suit that gets over the Supreme Court quickly on the Jack Smith?
		Is even the billet legitimate?
		Not just Jack Smith, but the billet itself.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		You know, Steve, it's a great it's a huge issue.
		But as you're as you're pointing out, a fundamental issue in terms of is this guy legally appointed at all?
		I'm not part of our Supreme Court practice at my law firm.
		It's a wonderful law firm.
		Shear Jaffe, Gene Shear, the name partner, filed this brief.
		Uh, he's a former Scalia clerk.
		Um, so it's before the court now, you know, it's an amicus brief.
		So it's a party, right?
		That's, that's, uh, that's coming in on the side to be helpful to the court to consider these issues and consider this case.
		Uh, but it is a fundamental issue.
		It's something that could just wipe away, uh, you know, this appointment and everything he's done, uh, and then have the department of justice basically have to start over.
		in terms of their work.
		So it's before the court now, better late than never.
		And as the court takes this up, we'll see what they do.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Mark, where do people get you social media and how they get to your website?
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Thanks, it's at Mark Palletta on X.
		And I have a website that's got all my op-eds and things defending the court.
		It's markpayaletta.com.
		And please follow me and check out my website.
		There's a lot of great information on defending the court on Justice Thomas.
		As you mentioned, my book, Created Equal, Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, which is based on 25 hours of interviews with Justice Thomas.
		And of course, the great movie, Created Equal, Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, which is two hours, made by your friend and mine, Michael Pack.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		The Great Filmmaker.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Brother, thank you so much, Mark.
mark paoletta ▲ ● ▼		Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Merry Christmas, brother.
		By the way, these demons are coming at everybody.
		Just insane, this thing of the 14th Amendment and how they're pumping it up on the mainstream media non-stop.
		One thing they're not pumping up, Raynard Jackson.
		Raynard, you were with us at AmFest.
		A lot of people were blowing my phone up about when they left, either out of Tucson or Phoenix.
		You had a personal experience.
		What did you see and what is the country not seeing about what's happening with these illegal alien invaders coming into the country?
unidentified		Yeah, Steve, I had a flight on American Airlines leaving AmFest.
		And so when the airline called for people to board, I'm in priority.
		All of a sudden, all these illegals come bomb rushing because they didn't understand English.
		They just saw us in priority line, getting ready to board the plane.
		And none of the flight attendants spoke any other language other than English.
		And so they had to physically just Pull them by the hand and say, wait here, wait here, and let everyone else board.
		But then as folks were boarding, Steve, I started looking in the back.
		You had most of the priority club seating in the middle of the plane were Chinese, African, South and Central American people on the plane.
		None of them spoke English.
		And I noticed all of them had their notice to appear.
		They had a little white see-through plastic envelope.
		You can read the documents pressed against the face of the package.
		And so obviously they were illegal.
		I'm flying from Phoenix nonstop to D.C.
		and then they get escorted.
		I stayed after I deported the planes because I was one of the first to get off the plane.
		They give VIP style treatment to leave the secure zone of the airport in D.C.
		And get picked up by probably some Catholic charities or whoever the NGO was.
		And then others, Steve, who were not being picked up by these charities.
		They just were free to roam anywhere in D.C., go anywhere they wanted to go, unescorted, and to disappear into society.
		My blood, Steve, was boiling at that point.
		I mean, what if you were an American and you needed to be on that flight to get back home or for business purposes?
		Half the plane was taken up by illegals.
		That was just crazy, Steve, crazy.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Did they make you feel as an American citizen, second class, because they put the illegal alien invaders ahead of you?
unidentified		Oh, without question, without question, Steve.
		And I thought of getting a different flight, but it's like coming from Phoenix, regardless of what airline or flight I took, it was going to be the same process because I watched them board a flight before my flight to North Carolina, Raleigh.
		And Steve, half the line was illegal.
		So we are paying, we American taxpayers are paying for the flights And a lot of premium compartments of the plane to send these illegals all over the country, Steve.
		And you know what?
		Oh, they also bypass security as well.
		Or they get escorted through security.
		Well, last time I checked, Steve, I have to go through security, wait in line, put my luggage through.
		And none of these folks had any luggage, Steve, because it was obvious that they didn't have any possessions.
		And so I guess when they got to their end destination, this NGO was going to get them clothes and shoes and things like that.
		Then the other thing, Steve, I thought about, We have no medical records of these folks on the plane.
		So if they have TB or any other communicable disease, you're playing Russian roulette at that point.
		Where, Steve, they forced us or tried to force us to take the jab and all these, our kids got to get the polio shots.
		These folks have no vaccination, Steve, but yet they are exempt from all the things American citizens get, and they walk away with a cash load of money at our expense.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We've got to balance, but you've always been a conduit, a linkage to the black entrepreneurial community for MAGA and for President Trump.
		Does the black community understand what's going on here?
		When they talk about replacement theory, it's, hey, they're trying to replace hard-working Hispanic citizens and African-American citizens that have been here for multiple generations and multiple decades.
		Are black entrepreneurs and others in the African-American community waking up to this?
unidentified		They understand very well, Steve.
		Here's what I propose for the War Room, Steve.
		Why don't we do for Black History Month, let's pay for some Greyhound buses from Chicago, St.
		Louis, my hometown, New York, D.C., Baltimore.
		Let's put a caravan from their hometowns to D.C.
		during Black History Month, Steve.
		Let's put a camera crew from Bannon Productions on every bus.
		Let's create a documentary that we will pre-screen The day before Juneteenth in June, release it across the country.
		Let's invite these same folks to be at Trump's coronation during the summer in Milwaukee.
		Let's do that, Steve.
		I want to talk with you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I'm all in.
		Raynard, what's your social media?
		How do people get you?
unidentified		Raynard on Twitter, Getter, Facebook, Raynard Jackson, all my social media.
		Let's do this, Steve.
		Action, action, action.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I'm in, brother.
		Raynard Jackson, giving it to you live.
		How it was in Phoenix.
		Short commercial break.
		Rahim's got an amazing amount of photographs about the invasion.
unidentified		Camp of the Saints in the United States of America.
unidentified		next.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's the Christmas season here at the War Room.
		We're going to be up every day.
		We've got Christmas Eve specials, Christmas Day specials.
		Raheem is doing his Boxing Day special.
		Natalie Winters has her own special.
		We're going to be covering the news and everything for you.
		Raheem, we've got some proper English carols.
		Does that warm the cockles of your heart as an Englishman?
unidentified		It does.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		It really does.
		I very much appreciate it.
		Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We've classed this joint up.
		And I don't know if we have it.
		We don't have the clip.
		Maybe we'll get that for tomorrow or the next day.
		But when I was running Breitbart in January 16, about nine months or eight months, I guess, before I took over the campaign, one of the things we were covering, you had just come out, I think, with the book No Go Zones, but you went on Sean Hannity in one of the first shows, I think, when Sean was back.
		I think it was 8 January of 2016.
		And you were, it was pretty obvious that Bernie Sanders was not going to beat Hillary Clinton.
		You were already talking about Hillary as the nominee.
		But you predicted at the time she was going to allow in 20 million illegal alien invaders, you know, call them migrants, however you want to refer to them.
		But you had predicted the number was 20 million.
		And that was in January 16, if she became president.
		Pretty prophetic that she did not become president, thank God.
		Providentially, with the work of Divine Providence, we were able to defeat her.
		But Biden eventually got in by stealing the 2020 election, and we're at 10 million right now.
		I think Todd Bensman says we're going to be 12 to 14 million before his reign of terror ends.
		Your thoughts?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's right, Steve.
		You know, I think, you know, I just came up with that
		I just remembered about that a few moments ago before coming on here, and I thought to myself, well, okay, so I said 20 million back in 2016, we're halfway through a potential two-term Democrat presidency, and so you can see that 20 million would absolutely play out were a Democrat to have two terms here, and that could have been Hillary Clinton, but so far, was avoided and then you got Joe Biden and that's 10
		million, almost 10 million in the blink of an eye. So I thought to myself, okay, so the migrant crisis in Germany in 2015 and 16, that was about, we were told, 1.7 million people over that period of time into a population of about 85 million.
		For the fast maths doers, that is about 2% of the population there.
		So let's say actually that America has taken in about 7 million over the course of Joe Biden's regime so far.
		Well that is two percent of a 350 million base population there.
		So if you do that mathematics you're already left with the fact that America is already undergoing a similar level if not a greater level of migrant crisis than Germany did in 2015 and 16.
		The difference being at the moment one of the key differences at the moment being that that migrant crisis in Europe was on the front page of every European newspaper almost the entirety of that year.
		It was rolling news coverage on broadcast television, and it was just over and over again that people were trying to figure out what was going on, how to stop it, And that cannot be said, the same thing cannot be said for what's going on in America today.
		The normalization of the porousness of your border.
		I said it yesterday, I'll say it again today.
		Talk about securing the border, there is no border.
		You have to start from scratch here.
		You have to establish a border first now.
		Because right now, what Rainer Jackson said just a minute ago, has been happening to so many people, so many friends of mine, flying all over America by the way.
		They get on a plane and suddenly they're just surrounded by migrants, by invaders.
		And the pictures that we saw yesterday and the day that CBP says was one of the highest number of illegal migrants coming into America ever, ever seen in history are absolutely Eagle Pass just absolutely flooded.
		12,000 people just waved straight in.
		This is not a failure, America.
		It's not a failure of the Biden regime to secure your border.
		It is intentional.
		It is what Angela Merkel did in Germany.
		And these European countries that opened their borders have not been the same since.
		You are now proportionately at the same level.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I want to go back a decade because you were covering for me as an editor and then when we launched Breitbart London, the two big stories you covered besides the beginning of Brexit and that was driven by this, you know, the undertow, was the Syrian civil war and when Merkel in 14, the crisis came in 15 and 16, but she made these decisions in 14, the exact same year the color revolution in Ukraine.
		Ten years later, this is what we're dealing with.
		Also, Macron yesterday cratered to Le Pen in the Front National in the French Parliament, now proposing, quite frankly, I think modest immigration laws.
		You wrote the book No Go Zones, what, five years ago?
		Six years ago?
		Europe's close to a civil war.
		In London, they won't stand up to the rise of Sharia supremacism, but also from all other countries.
		They won't do it in France.
		These countries have basically surrendered.
		This has happened in less than ten years.
		Now there was migration before, Enoch Powell's River of Blood, all those great things, but really from 2014, the triggering event, is less than a decade. And I'll be frank with you brother, what you covered in Europe and what Todd Benzman, Todd Benzman said, hey they're having 350,000 just for all of Europe.
		What's happening in the United States is unparalleled. You're getting 8 to 10 million.
		They're getting 350,000, 40,000 a year.
		Right?
		We're getting that a month.
		And remember, that's the ones that come in and surrender because they get processed quicker through the Phoenix airport.
		There's another two to three hundred thousand that are not.
		The getaways are not.
		You're getting five hundred thousand.
		This is fifty 35 to 50 combat divisions, and most of these are fighting age males.
		I mean, this is beyond national suicide, and this is the fault of the Murdoch News Network.
		This is the fault of the Republicans to not just shut down all businesses in the House, even to have a conversation.
		Lankford should be turfed out of Oklahoma.
		To even have a conversation about more money for Ukraine, holding our border, and sovereignty?
		Let's play, Rahim, as you talk, I want to get some of these photos you've got up in the National Polls.
		You just did, because you and I are sitting there.
		It is breathtaking.
		And we've been working on this thing for 10 or 12 years on the border.
		What's happening now is the worst it's ever been, and it's only going to get worse, sir.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's right.
		And you mentioned about the sheer numbers in Europe being incomparable to the United States.
		I think that's absolutely correct.
		That's why you have to talk in per capita and percentage terms.
		And I'm only comparing with Germany here.
		So let's say 1.7 million was a lie, because it probably was.
		It was probably 2 million over that period of time with people who were absconding.
		Unable to be found, etc, etc.
		So you're looking at 2.3% worth of people coming into Germany over the course of those two years.
		If you look at the same period of time in the United States of America, if the numbers are correct, you know, that Todd Bensman is providing us and so on and so forth, you're looking at 2.6% Of population there.
		So you're already beyond what Germany, which was the largest importer of illegal migrants during that period of time, took in.
		And you're absolutely correct to nail this down in the last 10 years.
		Because yes, you have had a ramping up.
		You had in the 50s and 60s a particular ramping up to the United Kingdom.
		That was Commonwealth migration.
		A lot of those people held a level of British citizenship.
		Most of them, and their parents and grandparents, held British subjecthood under the British Empire.
		They were made eligible to come to the United Kingdom.
		They spoke the language.
		A lot of them integrated.
		Some of them, of course, did not.
		But for the most part, that shook out.
		Then you had this period in the 80s where you actually had a relatively low level of immigration.
		And then, of course, came the corporate classes to say, OK, we need mass migration.
		We need cheap labor.
		And between the 90s and early 2000s, you started to see those kick in.
		And how did it kick in?
		Non-governmental organizations, pressure groups, corporate think tanks, so on and so forth.
		And that's really what we're living today, is the whirlwind which we are reaping because of the wind that they sowed.
		And today, you talked about the Murdoch media there.
		It's not just the Murdoch media, by the way.
		The Project for a New American Economy was a Murdoch-Zuckerberg organization that they put together over 10 years ago with money from the US hospitality industry because they were looking to get cheap migrant labor in.
		To clean the hotel rooms, effectively, right?
		And work in the kitchens, effectively, for nothing.
		People who wouldn't unionize would work for, you know, a buck an hour, and who wouldn't complain about poor working conditions.
		Slave labor in the most part.
		That was led by Mark Zuckerberg and Rupert Murdoch over 10 years ago, and you're reaping that today.
		If there is any one place that you want to point a finger, yeah, okay, it's the feckless people inside the White House right now, but more than that, It's corporate America.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Amen.
		They've driven this and they're the big donors.
		They've been driving down Texas everywhere.
		Raheem, where do you get all your reporting on this?
		You better than anybody.
		You're the one person that tied both together because you wrote the great book, No Go Zones.
		You led the effort at Breitbart London for a decade.
		You were the first one on Rotherham and all the rapes up there of the young girls.
		And I gotta tell you, we got it all coming here to the United States.
		It's all gonna happen.
		Just like, you've seen this movie before.
		So, where did they go to get all your commentary and analysis?
unidentified		Yeah, and it was a terrible ending then, and I assume it will be a terrible ending now.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		There's no reason to believe otherwise.
		It's TheNationalPulse.com.
		I'd love everybody to come and sign up at TheNationalPulse.com forward slash war room.
		I've also put up some really interesting stories this afternoon.
		One of these NeoconNeverTrumper writers over at Medii is complaining that the ballot interference, the Colorado ballot ban, and all the lawfare is actually going to end up Helping Donald Trump, it may well do, but I think it's fascinating that they're panicking over it.
		It's TheNationalPulse.com and Raheem Kassam on all social media platforms.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		By the way, the writer, as we've talked before, it's a very rough book, particularly for you and your parents and people of Indian heritage.
		It's a very, it's a nasty book, but man is it prophetic.
		You look at how the elites in France, in London, in Germany, in the United States, how they're dealing with this.
		It's a prophetic book, and it ends in tears.
		The reporting you did from the Netherlands to Belgium to the United Kingdom, Germany, it's shocking.
		There are people sitting here and accepting it.
		They're just being accepted right now.
		It's only going to get worse.
		Every day is going to get worse, and then you've got the issue of what are you going to do with them.
		I'll tell you what President Trump is going to do.
		He's going to ship them home.
		We're just not going to wave a magic wand and do that.
		That's going to be another drill.
		If you people are under 35 years old, Your country's being destroyed in front of you.
		Your life's being destroyed in front of you.
		Your ability to be anything but a Russian serf is being destroyed in front of you.
		And remember, if you like what's happening, continue to vote for it.
		Because you're going to get it in spades.

		Did Chris try to get into the Christmas spirit?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I want to thank everybody that was at AmFest, and particularly everybody, Real America's Voice, our own production team here, everybody that made it possible.
		It was just an extraordinary time.
		And I want to thank particularly the audience.
		People showed up.
		Very tough to do those live shows and keep up with the news, but we had enough great guests, and we had interaction, just tremendous, tremendous interaction with the audience, and that's what makes the show so special.
		So we've got a bunch of the shows over the next couple days.
		It's gonna be great.
		We're gonna try to get into, we got more economics to get through as always.
		We haven't had enough time.
		A lot of things happening on digital, on central bank, digital currency.
		We're getting to all that.
		Obviously a lot going on geopolitically.
		We're getting to all that.
		A lot happening in these different states.
		We got to stay on top of this situation in Colorado.
		Remember, right now they're in the convergence phase of information warfare.
		I think most of the smart people on the other side understand that legally they're on very, you know, tenuous grounds and they're not going to win legally, but they're going to use it psychologically as psychological warfare.
		The other thing is I've continued to warn all of the money, Fox News, everybody's going to getting back at Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki.
		It's all about Nikki Haley.
		It's all going to be about her momentum.
		They're going to really, I think, downplay tremendously.
		You see right now Iowa, because she's not going to do, it looks like she's not going to top DeSantis.
		But if she does, it's going to be, oh, she's got momentum.
		Here comes Nikki.
		It's obviously completely and totally, totally phony.
		But we're going to have to deal with it.
		And as I said the other day, this is all for the donors.
		Understand they can't beat Trump in a primary at Super South Carolina, Super Tuesday, Nevada.
unidentified		All of it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He wins going away.
		They're going to try to, as they try to chop block him in the process, chop blocking by forcing her on the ticket.
		Forcing her on the ticket is number two.
		To let her be the Prime Minister.
		Let her be Dick Cheney to Trump's Bush.
		Well, let me give you a newsflash.
		Trump is not Bush.
		That will not happen.
		I was actually, quite frankly, as adamantly opposed to it as I am.
		He's adamantly opposed to it as Don Jr.
		is.
		I was even a little taken aback by Tucker who really threw down hard.
		Tucker said not only would he not support it, he would actually work against the ticket because he thinks Nikki Haley is that dangerous and that big a sellout to the dark forces of corporate America.
		I want to make sure everybody goes to Birchgold now more than ever over this holiday season.
		We want to start putting your mind to rest on certain things.
		One is you really got to talk to the folks at Birchgold and start to understand what are the converging forces driving this run on gold and particularly when we're going into turbulent times.
		Understand why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years of man's recorded history because If you think what we've gone through for the last couple of years is turbulent, you ain't seen nothing yet.
		2024 will go down in the books.
		You can already tell that just the way this year's ending and what we're going to roll into.
		We haven't even talked about the massive work we have to do on the budget, but I'm trying to get all that together so we can kind of think this through.
		Make sure that when the posse gets to the ramparts, it's going to be worth our time as it has been in the past.
		Joe Crouch.
		Joe, you're here.
		Walk me through.
		I don't know if people can still get this for Christmas, but it's very important.
		I said the other day, it's very important for young people.
		You know, media matters went crazy.
		It's very important for young people and for women to know how to use firearms safely, to be comfortable around firearms, to really understand it from the basis.
		Your product, iTarget, is the best product, I think, for making people safe around their own weapons in a very low-cost way.
		Walk us through what it is and how do people get it.
unidentified		Yeah, thank you, Steve.
		Yeah, I have the iTarget Cubes here, and what it is, it's a laser that you buy that goes into your actual firearm.
		And the iTarget Cubes are running a special with War Room 20.
		They save 20%, and these are the most advanced way to train at home with your firearm.
		So you use an app on your phone.
		It counts down.
		And then it goes timed on how fast you can get it.
		So these cubes, they actually allow you to train.
		And here's a clearing drill run through our warehouse where this guy is working for me now.
		He's an ex-marine so he has a clearing training.
		So he's going through and there's like five cubes in different positions that he's going through and taking them out.
		So They work through your home's Wi-Fi system, so you can put them anywhere in your house, and you're able to do these type of drills where you would simulate someone being in a hiding spot, and you could go through and practice.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Now the laser actually goes into your own weapon, so you're practicing on your own weapon, correct?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's own weight, it's own feel, correct?
unidentified		Yeah, it's the actual firearm, the laser goes right in.
		And it saves you all the cost, correct?
		Correct.
		You don't have to, you know, keep buying ammo.
		You're able to train safely.
		You can teach other people how to train with it because there's basically, once you buy this, then there's no need to keep buying ammo.
		And when that's in the chamber, there's no way you can have an accidental misfire and you can teach people that are unsure or, you know, don't, they're scared to use a firearm.
		You're able to safely teach them without worrying about an accidental firing.
		Like if you took them to a gun range, that might be a concern.
		So there's nothing in the magazine.
		You put an empty magazine in it, the chamber goes in, and then you're able to shoot right at the... You know, you can just keep shooting different guns.
		You might have to re-rack depending on your gun.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Joe, where do you go to get all the information?
		I want people to go and think about this, particularly for young folks and your wives and girlfriends.
		This could be perfect.
		Where do people go?
unidentified		Yeah, our website's itargetpro.com, letter itargetpro.com, and use the code warroom20 and you can get 20% off the cubes.
		It's a great gift if you purchase If you're on the East Coast, you might be able to get expedited shipping.
		If you pay for expedited shipping, it might get there in time.
		But if you're outside of the East Coast, there's no, I doubt it.
		It usually takes about three or four days.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Well, you get it.
		You'll get it between Christmas.
		You'll have Christmas without your eye target, but maybe a boxing day.
unidentified		Hey, some people get money for Christmas.
		So it's a good gift.
		If you get some cash.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's good to get some cash.
		Joe, thank you.
		Merry Christmas, brother.
		Love the product.
unidentified		Merry Christmas, Steve.
unidentified		Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I'm so glad our man, we have a special guy, very special guy, he used to be one of our producers, put together our music for Christmas.
unidentified		He's a brilliant young man.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I want to thank him.
		We're going to take a short break.
		The 6 o'clock hour is next.
		We're going to be here every day during the holidays.
		No days off in the War Room because there's no days off for you.
		We know you're going to be with family, but you're going to want to keep up on the news and the Christmas traditions as only the War Room can present it.
		6 o'clock's up next.
		Stick around.
unidentified		Get a hot pot of Warpath coffee.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		See you in a minute.
