Speaker Time Text
mika brzezinski
Republicans are saying that a carefully brokered bipartisan Senate border deal would be dead on arrival in the House.
That's how House Majority Whip Steve Scalise described it during a conference call yesterday, according to Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News.
In that same call, Sherman reports House Speaker Mike Johnson said the border issue can't be solved until Trump or another Republican is back in the White House.
Like, Chris, they're saying the quiet part out loud, that they don't want to actually have a solution now to a problem that they are saying is dire, because it would help Biden.
unidentified
Yeah, that's what they want.
And I think it may be their hottest issue.
I mean, there's crime in the streets, there's all the usual arguments.
But the border is a problem.
Both parties, I think, recognize it's a problem.
mika brzezinski
Then deal with it.
There's a deal.
unidentified
The idea of closing the border, or limiting the number of people coming in, figuring out what asylum really means, and when it should be really executed and not executed, you've got to stop the flow.
And the flow's going to grow between now and election day, which they're going to like to see.
Because every day they show a picture of that border wide open, they've got to vote.
mika brzezinski
House Republicans get nothing done.
They don't want to do anything on this.
And then also the putrid, vile way that they behaved in that oversight committee hearing last week with Hunter Biden.
unidentified
By the way, Mike, this guy, Johnson, just read Liz Cheney's book.
mika brzezinski
Yeah.
unidentified
He's behind the whole thing, the whole thing on January 6th.
He's the menace behind it.
I know he sweet talks and all that stuff.
He's the problem.
He's the problem now.
And he's going to break through the election.
He's going to get Trump, try to get Trump elected.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
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've tried 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 lie?
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. Babb.
steve bannon
It's Monday, 15 January, Year of Our Lord 2024.
It's Martin Luther King Day.
We've got Rainer Jackson is going to be my co-host for this morning.
Royce White will join us this afternoon when we shift the flag out to Iowa.
He will co-host.
We're going to be from Davos to Taipei.
And parts in between.
We're here in the imperial capital.
It's shutdown week here in Washington, but we've got to start in frigid, blizzard-like conditions.
Iowa.
Mason City, where, you know, we did a... Mike Lindell did an event last week.
President Trump did an event.
I think it's minus 39 degrees this morning at dawn.
Let's go to Iowa.
Congressman Matt Gaetz, one of the top surrogates.
For President Trump.
First off, Congressman Gates, can you give us a feel for the frigid Iowa?
Where do you think we stand with the caucuses?
matt gaetz
Yeah, the only thing colder than the Iowa temperature are the prospects for other Republicans not named Donald Trump.
I was out this morning and we even saw cars sliding into one another and the roads aren't particularly packed.
We hope for big turnout because there's more than 100,000 more Republicans in Iowa eligible to caucus than there were back in 2016.
We think those new caucus goers are going to break overwhelmingly for President Trump.
And the real question is, are there even two tickets out of Iowa?
Does this become so dispositive that the money dries up for the others that want to bring their prospects to New Hampshire and South Carolina?
But we want a big turnout.
We hope we get a little break in the wind in particular and in some of the Falling snow, that gives the ground crews here the ability to create a path for folks to go and caucus safely.
steve bannon
You talk about tickets out, I thought the poll from the top pollster, and I think MSNBC puts it up and they have rights to it, but it was done by I think the local Des Moines paper, the Des Moines Register, that great pollster out there.
It had Trump at 48, Nikki at 20, and I think Governor DeSantis at 16.
However, the crosstabs, Congressman, Nikki Haley only had, I think, 20% enthusiasm.
More importantly, I think over 50% of her potential caucus scores would vote for Biden.
We're seeing the same thing in New Hampshire.
Do you think that's a real... I mean, the media's making it up to see it's a big surge.
Do you think there's any reality there that these are just Democrats trying to game the system?
matt gaetz
Yeah, there's a soft underbelly to what people are describing as Nikki Haley's momentum, and that is that it largely emerges from people who will never vote for Nikki Haley or any other Republican in a general election.
We'll see the early signs as to whether or not that strategy on the part of the Haley campaign to explicitly recruit Democrats and independents works.
I would be watching around Iowa State University, University of Iowa, some of the river counties, more to the eastern part of the state.
Marco Rubio did well in some of the southern counties that border Missouri.
But what we're seeing is in each and every place we look at every caucus, we expect President Trump to be prevailing.
I'll be caucusing tonight in Newton, Iowa, between Des Moines and Iowa City.
And we got great Americans at each and every one of these stops who are building it out.
But I think for Ron DeSantis, he will use that Des Moines Register poll as sort of a springboard to be able to say that if he prevails over Nikki Haley in a far distant second, that that somehow makes a case for his candidacy.
He may skip New Hampshire and really apply most of his efforts to South Carolina.
I think President Trump's going to compete everywhere because there's delegates to win everywhere.
steve bannon
I want to go, you know, Senator Rubio endorsed President Trump, his newfound populism.
But I want to go to the head of NBC.
It's Nikki Haley's.
Her theme is that she's more traditional foreign policy, more traditional economic policy, more traditional national security policy that Republicans are used to kind of the neoliberal neocon.
But this ties back to this article that was in NBC over the weekend about already the resistance to President Trump.
But it also ties back, Congressman Gates, correct me if I'm wrong, to the situation we have in the budget.
Because when Johnson gives a shout to the appropriators, Isn't it true that it was the armed services, the defense appropriators that went in and scared the bejesus out of Johnson last week about this entire situation, particularly about potential attacks in the United States, and that's why we couldn't risk shutting down the government over the border, sir?
matt gaetz
I would characterize it a little differently from inside the room.
I don't think they were frightening the speaker.
I think that they oppose any continuing resolution for different reasons than you and I do.
You and I don't believe that it's a responsible thing to do to take one vote on the budget all at once.
The defense hawks don't want to do that because under a continuing resolution, we don't get new starts for programs like hypersonics and quantum and AI.
And those new starts in a lot of cases are important.
And we ought to be able to do the programmatic itemized review.
I have no problem spending $886 billion at the Pentagon.
I sure wish they could pass an audit and, you know, not lose the secretary of defense for some term of days.
But nonetheless, I do think we have to hold the high ground.
The good thing the Speaker has done is liberate us from this view that Obama had us in, where every time defense moved, then you had to bring up non-defense discretionary spending.
But I'm very dissatisfied with where things stand in Washington right now.
Because we are not doing the itemized review.
And when we do, when we do bring up single-subject spending bills and we offer amendments to cut programs like the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, it's the Republicans in droves that are voting against people like Bob Goode and Eli Crane and Matt Rosendale and Andy Biggs who are offering amendments to actually reduce spending.
steve bannon
Talk to me about, you've been the driving force which people have gotten back of and appreciate about this appropriations, spending bills.
Why are we still four short?
Johnson let you guys go for three weeks over Christmas, you took the Martin Luther King.
matt gaetz
Yeah, we don't have the votes because, look, the Health and Human Services spending bill, we want deeper cuts there than our Republican colleagues are willing to go along with.
Democrats want no cuts.
So you get the Republicans who get weak-kneed at the thought of any spending reductions joining with the Democrats.
And those of us who are trying to save the American people from the inflation and the spending find ourselves short.
We had a vote on the agriculture spending bill and unfortunately we had a lot of our Republicans bail on us there as well.
So it's not enough just to engage the process.
You have to know where you're going.
Even if we dramatically cut spending, we're going to be running $2 trillion annual deficits.
As you pointed out to the Warren Posse, we're about to refinance $8 trillion in debt at a higher amount.
Of course, we are going to the era where we'll be spending $900 billion on interest on the national debt, and less than that on even protecting the nation and paying our troops.
And it's the stuff that brings empires to their knees and causes great societies to fall.
That's why we have to fight against it with everything we have.
You've seen me have to use some pretty blunt tools to try to achieve these objectives, but we have to remain persistent in that pursuit.
steve bannon
Let's talk about that persistence and blunt tools.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Congressman Johnson, didn't he commit to no more CRs when he first took, that was part of his pitch?
In addition, are we, is he even going to get this to the floor with another suspension?
I thought that's what was part of the package that drove McCarthy back to Bakersfield.
Help me out here.
matt gaetz
So the media, I'm glad you gave me a chance to clear this up because McCarthy was not fired just for doing a deal with Democrats.
The media tries to be so reductive about that.
With McCarthy, it was the lies.
It was the side deals.
It was not only the inability to perform, it was to sit there and explain to us that we were actually winning when that was a patina covering McCarthy's advancement of the Biden agenda.
I think Johnson faces a different dynamic than McCarthy insofar as he has a different majority, right?
McCarthy leaves.
We errantly expel Santos in the absence of due process.
Bill Johnson leaves to be the president of Youngstown State University.
Steve Scalise is getting cancer treatment.
All of a sudden, this majority whittles to a vote or two, and that's different than the runway McCarthy had. So I don't know if you can judge them on the same scorecard.
But with Johnson, I think we've got to get into a posture to pick a fight on this border.
We are being invaded right now. You've got brave Texas National Guardmen, patriots, standing in Eagle Pass, eyeball to eyeball with the federal entities who are under orders to go cut the razor wire that Texas has put up to defend our country.
And if we're willing to fund this government without having their back and without demanding a closed border, then we're not going to be in the majority and we won't have to worry about vacating a Republican speaker because we won't have one.
It'll be Hakeem Jeffries as speaker.
We close this border or we close the government.
That is what the people are demanding, and it is the only leverage we have.
I agree, we've got a small majority, but we've got to take it out for a spin every once in a while, and if there is not a unifying call on the border, then what are we waiting for, and what are we doing?
steve bannon
I want to make sure that people are clear on this because Speaker Johnson and this well-crafted deal, you know, which we blew up last week with Rosemary Jenks showing the lies of Senator Lankford, they're trying to drive that as attached to just Ukraine funding.
We keep saying here in the War Room, no, it's got to be attached to the continual financing of the government.
Last night on the conference call, where is that coming out?
Are most congressmen saying no, we've got to attach the border security and shutting down the border to spending and not have the misdirection play of just hooking it up to additional Ukraine funding?
matt gaetz
Let me disabuse you with the notion that the Langford Bill is border security.
The Langford Bill is the greatest expansion of amnesty that a Republican has attached their name to in my lifetime.
You know the pileup of human carnage you're going to see on the other side of that border?
When they know every day the first 5,000 people get amnesty?
That is crazy!
That will send all the wrong messages, it will invigorate the cartels and the trafficking networks, and they'll have Senator Lankford and whatever weak-ass Republicans join him to thank for that.
And it will be horrendous.
So that's why we sent out a strong message from the Speaker and all House Republicans, that bill's dead on arrival.
But to the core question you're asking, It is insulting to the American people to say there is parity in our focus with our border and Ukraine's border.
Our border matters more, sorry not sorry.
So, we should kick the Ukraine fight to beyond the government funding debate.
And also, what's the point in a government funding fight where we save 80 billion and then turn around and give it to Ukraine in some supplemental?
That's just a game of three-card Monty where we're fooling the American people.
We have to take these things head-on.
No border, no funding, and certainly no Ukraine.
Why are we even talking about Ukraine?
A majority of House Republicans voted against the latest iterations of Ukraine money thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene crow-barring it out of the defense appropriations bill.
steve bannon
Congressman, I know you're busy, but can you just hang on?
We're taking a short commercial break.
We just want to finish up with you.
The audience is hanging on every word.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We have Congressman Gates in Iowa.
We have Noor Bin Laden is going to join us from Davos.
That kicks off today.
We've got Rainer Jackson riding shotgun with me this morning on Martin Luther King Day.
We've got some very special guests about that.
Also, Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to be in Iowa.
We've got an explosive story about the RNC that Natalie Winters just put up on War Room.
We're going to have Natalie back here.
We're packed.
Also going to Taipei.
Colonel Mills is going to give us an update of things that have happened after the historic win the other day.
You're in the War Room.
Grab your Warpath coffee.
Warpath.coffee.com.
Get your discounts.
Get jacked up first thing in the morning.
Short commercial break.
The Congressman Matt Gaetz.
Congressman Matt Gaetz is in blizzard-like conditions in Iowa, supporting as one of the top surrogates for President Trump.
Congressman Gaetz, just breaking right now is a U.S.-owned, I think, merchant ship was struck by a missile off of the coast of Yemen.
A little while ago.
Can you put that into perspective?
We've got a Navy with only 75 deployable ships that have to keep the free navigation of the oceans from the South China Sea, East China Sea, all the way to protect the Suez Canal and points beyond.
What are your thoughts?
matt gaetz
This is an expanding war in the Middle East now with three fronts in northern Israel and Gaza and now in the maritime component with the Red Sea.
As you and Posobiec have talked about in great detail, this is largely a Europe issue.
The United States of America has sufficiently diversified and thanks to a lot of the Trump policies, we're doing enough at home where the Suez Canal and the Red Sea doesn't mean the same thing to us.
That it did 10, 20 years ago even.
And so Europe has to take strong action here.
We have to have the free flow of navigation.
But I also don't want to become the block captain of Yemen.
And if, you know, it seems to me like Joe Biden is trying to start a war with Iran through a series of proxies in different parts of the globe.
And that's not really something we want.
We have to reset deterrence with Iran.
What I would do, or actually what I think the president did that was wise, was get our battle groups into the Eastern Med.
But I would stay in the Eastern Med.
I think getting into the Red Sea, getting into the Suez Canal, all bumping into each other there risks a Gulf of Tonkin type scenario.
steve bannon
Wow.
Congressman Gates, the chat is on fire this morning.
Hundreds of thousands of people across all the platforms.
One of the big questions is, can Congressman Gates give us some guidance when the posse mans the ramparts and starts calling today?
What is the most effective message we could deliver?
matt gaetz
Well, your first assignment is if you've got any friends, family, in-laws, outlaws that you know in the state of Iowa, you better be calling them and not only encouraging the caucus, you ask them what is their caucus plan.
You let them know that they have to have a plan, they have to have a backup, they have to get there and they have to stay.
Because if there's any funny business at these caucuses, we know it'll be the war room posse who stands in the breach for President Trump.
As to Congress, You cannot allow your Republican congressman to vote to continue to extend Nancy Pelosi's policies, Joe Biden's spending, and to do so in service of probably an even bigger crap sandwich before April where they'll try to jam us with some omnibus spending legislation.
I think the Speaker is trying to use this latter CR as kryptonite and defense to an omnibus bill, but it's not enough.
It's very simple.
You tell your congressman, if you do not get this border secure, I don't want you to vote to fund the weaponized, ineffective, and problematic features of this government.
steve bannon
Congressman Gates, simple and to the point, your social media, how do people follow you in this critical day in Iowa, the opening of the 2024 campaign today in the caucuses out in Iowa?
How do people get you?
matt gaetz
I'm at Mad Gates on X, on Getter, everywhere on the internet, and we're going to be out there rallying up.
And keep in mind, okay, as tonight unfolds, you're going to see all the talking heads and all the establishment media types try to create this two-horse race coming out of Iowa because they think that's what creates vulnerability for President Trump.
Don't forget this.
We are going to win the Iowa caucuses tonight by the greatest margin the Iowa caucuses have ever been won by a non-incumbent president.
It is going to be remarkable, historic.
We're going to have a good time doing it, and we're going to move this thing on to New Hampshire and South Carolina and rack them up.
steve bannon
And I want to thank your former Wharram producer and now your current body man out in Iowa to keep you safe, Avish Burrow.
Congressman Gates, thank you so much for your wisdom, your guidance, your discernment.
matt gaetz
Avish Burrow!
He's keeping us safe!
Alright, thanks Steve.
Take it easy, man.
steve bannon
Thank you, Congressman.
Thank you for what you're doing.
Okay, big day, Iowa caucuses.
We're going to be live out there this afternoon.
We've got John Fredericks, we've got Natalie Winters going to do some co-hosting.
We've got a lot going on throughout the day in Iowa.
Before I go to Davos, Raynard, give me your, it's Martin Luther King weekend, give me your assessment of Congress spending, and particularly the invasion of the southern border, sir.
unidentified
I think it's an outrage, Steve, and we in the movement need to call our members of Congress and tell them if they vote for this outlandish bill, they will not be back here in January of next year.
Isn't it amazing, Steve, that you are treated as second class if you're an American citizen, but if you're in the country illegally, you get free housing, free healthcare, free cell phone service, Free food, private tutors.
You get Xboxes for your kids, but if you're an American citizen, you get ignored.
steve bannon
It's unbelievable.
Rainer, not just that, I think they get $3,000 a month in a person on Social Security, which Nikki Haley's trying to take away gets an average of $1,200.
Hang on for one second.
Let me go to Davos, and I want your assessment of that.
Nor bin Laden, as usual, anchors our coverage from Davos.
Nor, you're out at the ski resort with all the elites.
Of course, Daily Mail's telling us there's nothing but hookers, champagne, caviar, big parties.
What's going on there?
noor bin laden
Listen, as per the Daily Mail article, to put it bluntly, these people that gather here in Davos every year, you know, I would qualify them as degenerate criminals who are posturing as benefactors for humanity and think they have any form of sophistication because they get their suits at Savoy Roll and they have access to private jets.
But at the end of the day, these people that are here are actually the lowest of the lowest who pretend that they are trying to do something for the world, but they are not.
And this is what we're going to talk about throughout this week with this World Economic Forum annual meeting and all the panels that they have prepared for us.
steve bannon
Noor, help me out here.
You've been there for the Great Reset, for the Build Back Better.
Every year they've got a theme.
Last year they dropped artificial intelligence.
I think there's a Citicorp analysis out today that says 40% of jobs, current jobs, are going to be wiped out in the next couple of years because of AI.
unidentified
40%.
steve bannon
Principally administrative and computer science.
And that women are going to take the biggest hit of that.
Women and minorities.
The theme this year, correct me if I'm wrong, is rebuilding trust.
Does the Davos man understand that they are now under the microscope by a global populist nationalist movement and people are not buying it?
So their theme this year is rebuilding trust?
noor bin laden
Absolutely, you are correct.
The theme is rebuilding trust.
It is quite ironic, but I don't know if you can see on the screen, I'm also standing in front of one of the houses.
And the title here is deciding your tomorrow.
So they want to rebuild trust in order to decide our tomorrow, but they have done a really, really terrible job and rebuilding trust.
I mean, what trust?
All they do is lie.
And if you look at their agenda, it's lie after lie after lie.
Climate change, pandemics, Russia hoax, January 6th, all the different narratives that they try to push out of this forum and all the different vehicles that assist the World Economic Forum and with whom they collaborate, like the UN, like the WHO, all the media entities, they're all part of this infrastructure that has been set up over decades in order to push this one world government agenda.
And this is what we're going to be talking about here this week.
And so they want to rebuild trust for the public because they've lost so much of the trust with COVID-19.
A lot of us have been awakened over the past few years, the past few decades to what it is they're actually trying to do.
And they can hide it behind all these lofty terms and their nomenclature, trying to pretend, as I said, that they are benefactors in the world, where in fact when you really look what is behind the agenda, If you can summarize, is their focus still anti-sovereignty?
unidentified
of humanity and we will be exposing all of their misdeeds that they are trying to do here in Davos. If you can summarize, is their focus still anti- sovereignty? They're trying to take away sovereignty not just of nation states but also the citizens of those nation states? They want to abolish the Westphalian system of the nation state.
noor bin laden
Absolutely.
This is what this organization is about.
And as I mentioned, all the other organizations that work hand-in-hand with them.
People need to understand that it's been almost 200 years, but predominantly throughout the 20th century, that this architecture has been set up with the weft as a center point for the past 50 years through which they are rolling out this agenda.
And the WEF, just like the WHO has been selected as the vehicle of choice to roll out the health aspect, the health component, the health pretext to enslave us through the digitization of healthcare and the so-called pandemics, the WEF has been selected as the vehicle of choice for what they call the public-private partnerships.
And what this means is that we have governments, public entities that are working hand-in-hand with corporations in order to advance the agenda.
And when, for example, the population is giving pushback to certain government policies that trickle down from the globalist agenda, because all of our governments have been captured and answered to this globalist elite, then they use the corporations to make their services and products ubiquitous in a way that we cannot function in society unless we use them.
And obviously the smartphone is one of the great examples where today in society you can barely function unless you use these digitized, these services to reach these, excuse me, you use these Um, devices to use these digitized services.
steve bannon
Now, Nora, hang on for one second.
We're not gonna let you freeze, but hang on.
We want to get a little more in depth in Davos.
We're also going to go to Iowa.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rainer Jackson's riding shotgun with me.
Make sure you get your Warpath coffee.
You see we come in hot in the war room.
You need to be ready for it.
unidentified
Warpath.coffee slash war room.
steve bannon
Warpath.coffee slash war room.
Get the dark roast.
Try it.
Go ahead and risk it.
You'll love it.
Short break.
Davos with Knorr.
Iowa with MTG next.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to go to Iowa.
We got Norbin Laden in Davos.
Raynor Jackson actually is with me riding shotgun this morning.
Martin Luther King today, and Royce is going to be around this afternoon.
Got a lot to go through.
MTG joins us from Iowa.
First off, MTG, before we get into all the explosions over the weekend and Fonny Willis saying mean things about you from the pulpit, Give us an update on Iowa.
I can't believe you actually made it out there.
I thought President Trump was going to be the only person that could get through that blizzard.
Give us an update.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, I'm telling you it was touch and go, but a lot of people have made it out to Iowa, and Steve, this is the day we have been waiting for for three years now.
So the excitement is overwhelming, and I literally can't wait to watch President Trump win the Iowa caucus today.
But just what you were saying, talking about Fannie Willis, you know, like we talked about, Steve, you know that they know they're in trouble when they have to run to a church And give all of their excuses standing before a congregation.
And that's typical politics for Democrats, but it's not going to be acceptable.
She is definitely in violation of her oath of office.
And this is why there needs to be a criminal investigation into Fannie Willis.
And it is very, very serious.
No matter how Republicans in Georgia feel about President Trump, this is a woman that is abusing her power, and she's playing as the campaign arm for the Democrat Party and for Joe Biden.
steve bannon
You know, you're a Georgian, and people have actually talked about you potentially running for the governorship down there.
Governor Kemp, so the way it plays out in Georgia isn't – I understand there's federal issues here too, but isn't this a Georgia thing that's got to be sorted out by Georgians right now?
And she went to a church.
I think she said you had a hate-filled heart, or she was pretty nasty.
And you can tell the panic in her eyes.
What has got to happen?
You've actually said you've put it on notice that you're going to make sure that they force criminal charges or an investigation.
What's actually happening in Georgia to sort this mess out?
Because this is a black guy from one of the greatest states in the Union.
marjorie taylor greene
I completely agree with you.
And Fulton County taxpayers are sick and tired of being abused and used.
That's why the Buckhead City movement was so big.
The people that live in Buckhead City are sick of it, and they want their tax dollars used by the DA in Fulton County to prosecute real crime, not to play politics and go after Joe Biden's top political opponent.
The situation in Georgia is very concerning to me.
I think Georgia needs to take a strong stand against Fannie Willis.
We can't allow a Fulton County DA to be abusing her power all for politics.
This is something that no one in Georgia wants to see happen and we're fed up with it.
We are tired of being used that way.
So it's a very serious situation to me, Steve, and it's a serious situation to most people in Georgia.
steve bannon
Isn't the wife that Fannie Willis was the homeworker on, or the alleged homeworker, hasn't she actually subpoenaed the house?
Doesn't she want Fannie Willis to come in and testify and find out what was going on in this entire situation with her then-husband?
marjorie taylor greene
That's right.
She has subpoenaed Fannie Willis for their divorce proceedings with the alleged affair that Fannie Willis was having with Nathan Wade.
Now, I think that's something that we have to take a hard look at because Fannie Willis takes an oath and it has to do about her compensation.
Literally, her compensation is part of her oath of office.
Well, you know, allegedly she was traveling the country and internationally on lavish vacations with Nathan Wade that he was paying for Fannie Willis to go with him on.
And that's a direct violation.
That's serious corruption with her compensation, if this all turns out to be true.
And that's why there needs to be a criminal investigation.
Now, yesterday I spoke with Georgia's Attorney General Chris Carr, and I've been in contact with Governor Kemp.
What they are telling me is they are launching a new oversight committee.
This had already been passed in Georgia, but it got held up in court.
That's the avenue they want to proceed with is an oversight committee for state DAs like Fannie Willis and others who are not prosecuting real crime.
I'm totally in favor of an oversight committee.
I think it's a great thing to have, but I think the situation with Fannie Willis actually goes to another level.
I think it's risen above an oversight committee and it needs a real criminal investigation.
steve bannon
So you're calling for, if I can just get this straight, you're calling for, even though talking with Chris Carr, the AG, and Governor Kemp, you're saying, hey, the committee's fine, it should do its job, but you're calling for actually a criminal investigation at a higher level right now?

Absolutely, Steve.
Look, there's proof and evidence that Fannie Willis colluded with the former January 6th Committee that we know was a political scam, and it was abuse of taxpayer dollars.
She colluded with the January 6th Committee.
They gave her information before she indicted President Trump and the other co-defendants.
I think that is a serious crime.
Also, we have evidence of invoices that Nathan Wade submitted.
This is Feeney Willis's top prosecutor, and allegedly her lover, submitted invoices.
One of them even saying that he invoiced 24 hours of work in one day.
I mean, come on.
That is something that no one is going to believe.
and is a complete lie, and that's a serious sign of corruption.
But also, look at Nathan Wade visiting the White House.
He visited the White House, and he's prosecuting President Trump for RICO charges.
I mean, this is something that we can't allow, Steve, and this is beyond, in my opinion, an oversight committee and requires a serious criminal investigation.
That's what I want to see out of Republican leaders in Georgia, and I think that's what all Americans across the country want to see.
We want to see accountability.
We want people held accountable for their actions.
We're tired of the weaponized government, and we're certainly seeing a weaponized government coming out of Fannie Willis' Fulton County DA's office.
steve bannon
If I can pivot to the nation's capital, and we call this shutdown week.
You've been twofold.
Number one, you've been the biggest proponent of shutting down any more money to Ukraine.
You've also been one of the drivers and backer of Rosemary Jenks' expose on Langford on this amnesty deal he was cutting.
Right now, what's the state of play?
It's quite confusing.
Warren Posse wants something simple.
If you don't shut down the border, then shut down the government.
Where do you stand right now?
And more importantly, where do you think the conference stands?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, I definitely stand with the War Room Posse.
I stand with Team America because I'm a United States representative in the House of Representatives.
That means that we serve Americans.
We don't serve globalists.
We don't serve migrants that are trying to break our laws and illegally enter our country.
We don't harbor illegal aliens.
We don't harbor criminals.
We don't harbor terrorists.
But Senator Lankford and Senate Republicans and the so-called border deal they came up with that would be in exchange for $60 billion more to Ukraine is an outrage.
As a matter of fact, they should be so embarrassed they should resign over this so-called border deal.
This is not a border deal.
It's border surrender.
And it's something that Americans are fed up with.
I mean, you've got to understand, Steve, I think we have so many dumbasses in Washington, D.C., and the evidence of that is that we're in $34 trillion in debt.
Now they're coming up with a CR.
Speaker Johnson has a CR on the table that extends Nancy Pelosi's budget.
You know, we lost the power of the purse when we started carrying around Nancy Pelosi's purse.
There's no way in hell I'm voting for this CR to extend Nancy Pelosi's budget, and there is no way in hell I'm on board with any type of border deal that funds more war in Ukraine than every single American is sick of.
and does nothing to secure our southern border while over 10 million illegal aliens have entered our country.
It's a slap in the face to Americans and it's a slap in the face to Republican voters and many other voters across the country.
So we've got to take a hard stand for this.
I'm a hard no.
steve bannon
You're a hard no for the CR?
Right now the CR has nothing, they makes no comment whatsoever about securing the border.
We go for more months funding the whole thing.
So you're a hard no on the CR?
marjorie taylor greene
I'm a hard no on the CR and also think it's politically stupid, too.
Look at the dates on it.
It's March 1st and March 8th, two separate dates that it expires.
Well, guess what happens on March 7th?
It's Joe Biden's State of the Union.
So are House Republicans going to be handing Joe Biden a little gift on the platter for him to attack us at his State of the Union speech?
On March 7th?
I mean, what is about to happen?
Are we going to have several Republicans sign a discharge petition with Democrats and make all of us look bad?
Or are we actually going to get to work and pass our five remaining appropriation bills?
We only have five.
Guess what?
Not one of them made it to the floor last week.
Not one of them is scheduled to come to the floor this upcoming week when we go back into session.
So this entire thing is just kicking the can down the road.
It's continuing to carry Nancy Pelosi's purse, and I didn't elect Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker.
As a matter of fact, we fired her last Congress, but here we are continuing her budget.
What a joke!
I can't even believe it.
It's a total embarrassment, and I'm so tired of it.
steve bannon
Congressman, you're out there today as one of the top surrogates.
You and Congressman Gates for President Trump.
The populist nationalist movement is on the rise here.
One of the greatest comebacks, if not the greatest comeback in American political history will kick off tonight.
But we also have Norbin Laden in Davos, and you've been at the forefront of this WHO fiasco.
Don't you find it ironic?
That Davos is kicking off on the same day that President Trump comes back with the greatest pro-sovereignty, pro-America, pro-populist, pro-economic nationalism, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
I do, and there are no coincidences, Steve.
We know exactly who the enemies are, and that's those over in Davos.
They're the enemies of America, and President Trump and his movement is the enemy to them.
So what we're going to do, Steve, this launch is it.
Today is the day.
Like I said, we've been waiting for it for three years.
We're going to win Iowa caucus.
We're going to blow it away.
The only votes Nikki Haley is getting is the never-Trump Republicans, the RINOs, and a lot of Democrats and independents.
She's the uniparty candidate that if anyone thinks that she's going to win the primary, well, you have no common sense and you are being lied to by CNN and the rest of the media that's trying to prop her up.
Another thing is, if she were to come through the primary, remember, she'd only get there with Democrat voters who would abandon her when it comes to a general election.
So we need to send a hard message here in Iowa today and tonight that there's no way we're supporting the Uniparty, we don't support the WEF, and we don't support the WHO or the UN.
These are the international organizations we need to defund and we need to pull out of.
It's time to be pro-America, it's time to be team humanity, and let's win this one for America first.
steve bannon
The book is MTG.
Go to MTG.com or Amazon to get it.
It's a must-read, a page-turner.
Constance Green, your social media people are going to want to follow you today.
Through the Blizzard is one of the top surrogates for President Trump on a historic day.
Where do they go?
marjorie taylor greene
Absolutely.
Go to RealMarjorieTaylorGreen, or you can follow me at RepMTG.
For the book, it's MTGBook.com.
This is the book they don't want you to read, MTGBook.com.
Thanks so much, Steve, and we'll keep you updated on the whole day as we move forward in Iowa.
steve bannon
Okay, keep warm.
I know you come in as a fire breather, so keep warm today.
Thank you so much, Steve.
We're going to go back to Davos.
I got Rainer Jackson.
We got a lot.
We got a lot of wood to chop here.
Rosemary Jenks, Natalie Winters, Bob Woodson.
A lot to go through.
One thing you need to do is go to Birchgold.com right now.
Birchgold.com slash abandon.
End of the dollar empire.
Find out, abide this fiasco in Congress, the continual spending of money, $2 trillion deficit this year, $2 trillion deficit next year, as far as the eye can see, in perpetuity.
How's that going to impact your nation, your community, your family, and yourself?
Talk to Philip Patrick and the team and ask them a basic question.
Just a question.
Why has gold been a hedge against times of turbulence for 5,000 years of man's history?
Why is that?
Have the team walk through.
They had Philip on the show on Saturday.
It was absolutely incredible.
But make sure you talk to the team at birchgold.com and get End of the Dollar Empire.
We're giving an update.
It's all free.
We're giving an update to the third installment, The Debt Trap, with numbers that are going to help you this week.

Republicans are saying that a carefully brokered bipartisan Senate border deal would be dead on arrival in the House.
That's how House Majority Whip Steve Scalise described it during a conference call yesterday, according to Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News.
In that same call, Sherman reports House Speaker Mike Johnson said the border issue can't be solved until Trump or another Republican is back in the White House.
steve bannon
OK, your call today is 202-225-3121.
The first thing you say, Johnson, that is just nonsense.
Defund, either shut the border or defund the government.
This whining and moaning about, oh, we need, I only got one ninth of one fiftieth of one hundredth of government.
No, you have all the leverage.
And no, we're not waiting for President Trump to get back.
That shows you how gutless this worm is.
Oh, we got to wait to press Trump.
No, we don't.
And we can't.
That's a year.
Are you nuts?
In fact, it's over a year.
Today's only the 15th.
Rosemary Jenks, you broke this.
Is this a carefully brokered best security deal for the border ever in the history of the country?
Is that true, ma'am?
unidentified
If you're a Democrat, it sure is.
It gives the illegal aliens everything they want and ensures that more of them come.
So, yeah, for Democrats, this is carefully brokered.
Unfortunately, Republicans have been played, as usual.
And it's very clear that this plan is dead in arrival in the House.
But Senators Lankford and Leader McConnell apparently have not got that message, and they are continuing down this path of destruction, and it's ridiculous.
I mean, you are absolutely right.
The Biden White House created the border crisis, and the Biden White House can stop it if there's enough pressure on them, and shutting down the government would certainly do that.
steve bannon
That's what we need to do.
Matt Gaetz said in his review of your points that he saw on War Room that this would be the greatest amnesty bill that would ever be done at the same time we've allowed 8 to 10 million illegal alien invaders into the country.
Your thoughts?
unidentified
Yeah, well, you know, they're coming here to work.
So if you give them work permits, which is what Lankford's plan does, immediately give them all work permits, then you're essentially telling them you can come in and you can stay and you can take jobs from poor Americans and, you know, we're not going to do anything about it.
That is not the message that we need to send.
We need to take our country back and the border needs to be shut down.
steve bannon
Rosemary, they try to tie it to Ukraine, but we're tying it to the CR.
What is the message that Rosemary Jenks believes the posse should deliver when they call their congressmen and senators today, ma'am?
unidentified
Shut down the border or shut down the government.
It's as simple as that.
steve bannon
Rosemary Jenks, where do we find you on social media?
Where do we go to your new site, ma'am?
unidentified
Our website is IAProject.org.
IAProject.org.
All of our social media is linked on the homepage there.
We're on X at I underscore A underscore project.
We're on Facebook, YouTube, and so on, but it's all linked from our homepage at IAProject.org.
steve bannon
IAProject.org.
Rosemary, I love the fact that we've known you for almost decades now over at NumbersUSA, but man, you have kicked up a hornet's nest in your first couple of weeks at starting the new project.
So, appreciate it.
Thank you for standing up for the America.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
It's always great to be on.
steve bannon
Thank you, ma'am.
Okay, Moe and Grace, if we can get all that into the chat room, the chat room, let's push it out.
Let's be a force multiplier.
You heard Rosemary Jenks, you heard MTG, you heard Gates.
Either shut down the border or shut down the government.
Quite clear.
And no, Johnson, we're not going to wait for Trump to come back.
Of course, President Trump's going to return, but that's a year away to the day he takes power on the afternoon of the 20th, after high noon, the 20th of 2025.
Rainer Jackson, a couple of things.
First off, Does the African American community, the black community, understand that this is the replacement project is about them?
That that's one of the reasons that this illegal alien invasion is taking place?
Are they savvy right now to what's actually going on here?
unidentified
Yeah, Steve, they're very well aware of what's going on, as you see the reaction in Chicago, St.
Louis, New York, Baltimore, D.C.
The issue is, Steve, I think our side, MAGA, we need to engage with the disaffected blacks.
That's the opportunity for MAGA, Donald Trump, and the Republican Congress, if we can find some conservative members of Congress.
Yeah, they're very well aware, and they're not happy, Steve, but they don't view us as a viable alternative yet.
steve bannon
One thing, this is Martin Luther King Day.
We're honoring his life, his work.
Isn't it ironic that Fannie Willis, that the firestorm is really centered around Fulton County?
Give me your thoughts on that.
unidentified
Yeah, but it's not only Fulton County.
St.
Louis County, where I'm from, Steve, you had Kim Gardner, who's another incarnate of Fannie Willis.
She got kicked out of office last year by the governor for not enforcing the law.
And then you got Mosley in Baltimore.
She just got convicted last year of federal felonies.
And so this is going on within black elected officials all across the country, Steve.
So this is not a one-off.
This is endemic to these radical black liberals.
And we got people like Bob Woodson and Dr. John Sibley Butler on the show today.
These guys want to address that issue, but this is not by accident or lawfare, Steve.
This is intentional.
And I'm glad to see conservatives finally calling these folks out and going through the legal process and getting these guys removed from office and getting them removed from these cases down in Atlanta.
Thank you.
steve bannon
Rainer, hang on.
You're going to stick around for the second hour.
We've got Norbin Laden who is freezing in Davos.
Although, I've got to say, it's a balmy 29 there, I think, or 25.
It was minus 39 degrees today in Mason City, Iowa.
So a lot going on.
Historic Day of a comeback of President Trump, the greatest comeback in American political history.
I don't know if it's a comeback or not since he won the 2020 election with 74 million, over 74 million votes.
And of course, it was stolen by Biden.
Would Biden's polling be this terrible?
ABC, I think over the weekend, 33% approval overall.
I think mid to low 20s among independents.
People think everything he puts his hand to is is completely is completely messed up.
are upside down. The right track, wrong track is absolutely terrible. So we're going to get all to that back to Iowa also in the second hour. Short commercial break, 90 seconds we'll be back.
Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash worm. You got to get up to speed on why precious metals is a hedge against times of turbulence. I will tell you folks, those guys in Davos.
Davos, man, is not going to stop.
They want to take your sovereignty.
And as Norbin Lein is pointing out, they're going to use every aspect of this, whether these natural asset companies we've been fighting or the WHO.
It's all about taking your sovereignty.
One way they try to do it right now, the NGOs that are supporting the invasion of the southern border.
