I mean, Putin has came to this by presenting himself as a defender of traditional civilization, right? | |
| Christianity, Orthodox in his case, but anti-LGBTQ rights, anti-transgenderism, anti-decadence of the West, and he's made common cause with a part of the American political system that otherwise in the past was very anti-Russia. | ||
| When Russia was perceived to be left as a communist nation, now Putin is doing it from the other side, on the ultra-right. | ||
| And he is making common cause in Europe with the various right-wing parties there through this culture war. | ||
| In fact, he's doing the same thing we hear in our own domestic politics. | ||
| It just seems as though only Donald Trump could have energized this pro-Putin part of the Republican establishment. | ||
| It's so counterintuitive. | ||
| I mean, Putin is demonized for very good reasons. | ||
| And maybe the Navalny murder, clearly. | ||
| I'm curious from your time studying this and doing the project what you think about the zealotry and the extremism of that belief that makes it more theocratic, that makes you think you have the truth. | ||
| You know, my dad reminded me the other day of this Vaclav Havel quote, surround yourself with people seeking the truth, Not those who think they already found it. | ||
| Which is a way of saying, if somebody has a full monopoly on the truth, religious, scientific or otherwise, you know, you gotta take a beat. | ||
| And so, it looks like you're about to respond, so I won't finish the question, you take it from here. | ||
| Yeah, no, I mean, the point is, this is not a religious movement. | ||
| This is a movement, a political movement. | ||
| It's a movement for power. | ||
| And if you are under the guise that what you're doing is because you believe this is God's will, and these are your thoughts, then it gives you permission. | ||
| It gives you the right to, and it motivates you to do anything you want, because you're doing it supposedly in God's name. | ||
| Anything up to and including violence. | ||
| And we saw that happen on January 6th. | ||
| So, make no mistake, this is not a religious movement. | ||
| This is a political movement that is after sheer power. | ||
| And that's the fear, that we have this... They have a mouthpiece, and he's gonna ride this. | ||
| He's gonna try to ride this all over the White House. | ||
| Goldberg goes on and says, indeed one reason we know it's not true, publicly criticizing Putin's treatment of Navalny can land you in a Russian cell. | ||
| Criticizing Biden's alleged treatment of Trump can land you in a Fox News studio. | ||

|
Gene Robinson Incredible. | |
| There are a few words. | ||
| You have these freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, radicals on the far, far right. | ||
| They're not even the right now. | ||
| They're in the Trump death cult for American democracy. | ||
| And to make those comparisons, they're so grotesque. | ||
| To compare America to Russia is so grotesque. | ||
| To compare Trump to Navalny, Trump who flies around in a 757, who lives in a golden skyscraper, who lives in Mar-a-Lago, where you have Navalny dead. | ||
| Poisoned in a penal colony. | ||
| All of this is so grotesque and what is so shocking is, this isn't one freak legislator, right-wing freak legislator from Louisiana or Iowa. | ||
| This is the next Republican nominee for President of the United States in 2024. | ||
| And Republicans are falling in line and they're saying, the hell with America. | ||
| We will trash America, we'll say it's just like Russia, just like Trump's been doing since 2015, just to elect this con artist who wants to undermine America's rule of law and American democracy. | ||
|

|
Yeah, you have to assume, actually, that that tweet or statement by Donald Trump is the new MAGA party line on Navalny. | |
| It is just incredible. | ||
| Note that he refers to the sudden death of Alexei Navalny as if, you know, he had, like, You know, tripped down a staircase in his house or something like that. | ||
| No, he was sent to a Siberian prison camp to die, to be killed, probably to be poisoned. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But he was dead like anybody who opposes Vladimir Putin. | ||
| Trump mentions, of course, unfair courtroom decisions. | ||
| He's still smarting from all the court judgments and rulings against him last week. | ||
| And so, two things. | ||
| First of all, you have Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, the third-ranking official in the United States government, down there bending the knee to Donald Trump. | ||
| This is serious. | ||
| This is really serious. | ||
| And you have the Republican Party essentially turning its back—at least the people who are running the Republican Party—turning their back on NATO at a time when Vladimir Putin is making gains in Ukraine, refusing to authorize new funds, military aid for Ukraine, so it can fight back. | ||
| Talk to the Europeans. | ||
| Clearly and alarmingly putting the security of Europe and the world in danger. | ||
| And this is what the Republican Party is going with. | ||
| This is what they believe now. | ||
| It's just appalling. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're not going to 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|

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

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

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| It's Tuesday, 20 February in the year of our Lord 2024. | ||
| Of course, with the help of MSNBC and the great filmmaker Rob Reiner, they've identified the enemy, and it would be you. | ||
| Politico, kind of a converging of forces today to highlight exactly what the problem is. | ||
| The problem in this country is Christian nationalism. | ||
| Politico lead story, our beloved Russ Vogt and the team over at Center for Renewing America gets star treatment in Politico this morning, lead story. | ||
| What does it talk about? | ||
| That they're actually the intellectual center of the drive for Christian nationalism. | ||
| Look, I think it's a very positive story. | ||
| Other people may take it the wrong way, may interpret that differently. | ||
| But as you know, Russ Vought was the director of OMB and President Trump's first term, one of the smartest guys. | ||
| And you've seen the CRA people we've had on here time and time again, breaking down the toughest problems the country has. | ||
| Easily digestible concepts that one can grasp and figure out what action plans are. | ||
| In fact, Mark Paoletta, the great associate of Justice Thomas, will be here later in the show. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to be here. | ||
| We're going to go through a lot of kind of legal things early in the morning. | ||
| Kirk Cameron is going to join us later. | ||
| We're also going to talk about some economics. | ||
| And remember, you're the agents of chaos and anarchy. | ||
| Remember that. | ||
| You're the backbone of this nation, but you are, this audience is, you're chaos. | ||
| In fact, let me quote Morning Mika's side piece, Joe. | ||
| Why is MSNBC, I really got a problem with this. | ||
| Why is it Morning Joe, and why is he getting paid more? | ||
| She's the star, he's the side piece. | ||
| So Morning Joe, he refers to us as freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, and a Trump death cult. | ||
| Freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, in death cult. | ||
| I want you as you go to work today, as you're watching us from your home or wherever you're either watching or listening, either on the podcast later today or in the vast radio network of John Fredericks that we're on, or through Real America's Voice, Getter, Rumble, wherever you get it, wherever your touchpoint is, I want you to embrace that. | ||
| This is what they think of you. | ||
| You are the backbone of this nation. | ||
| You are what Edmund Burke calls the little platoons that keep civic society working. | ||
| As I say over and over again, when they talk about capital markets and they talk about the bond market and the stock market and how the U.S., you get a premium, you know, the U.S. | ||
| companies always get a premium because there's so much liquidity. | ||
| So much liquidity. | ||
| That's a fancy term for means you can buy and sell and get in and out of bonds and stocks quickly because there's lots of buyers and there's lots of sellers. | ||
| It's a liquid market. | ||
| It's not because we have better securities regulations. | ||
| It's not because the SEC is a better regulator. | ||
| It's not because you have state SECs or you have exchanges like NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange. | ||
| Yes, you have that, but they've got that in Frankfurt. | ||
| They have that in the city of London. | ||
| They've got that in Singapore and in Dubai, and they've got it particularly in Tokyo. | ||
| They have all that. | ||
| What they don't have is you. | ||
| You are the full faith and credit of the United States government. | ||
| You. | ||
| The good householder. | ||
| The person who goes to work every day, raises your family, raises them up patriotically so they want to serve their country. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That's you. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| And remember, every day you're getting the short end of the stick from a group of globalist elites that are in charge of this country that, interestingly enough, detest you. | ||
| They detest you individually, they detest you as a group, and they detest your values and what you stand for. | ||
| You are freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, and a death cult. | ||
| And you can see, by the way, they go after Russ Vought and the decent folks over at the Center for Renewing America. | ||
| You're now, and I told you this six months ago, nine months ago, the term they're going to use in 2024, they're all going to converge on one term. | ||
| And that term is Christian nationalism. | ||
| Because to them, it pulls together the two worst, the things they hate the most. | ||
| Christianity and nationalism. | ||
| Maybe we make a Christian populist nationalism. | ||
| That would be the trifecta, wouldn't it? | ||
| Today in the Daily Beast, A pretty solid article over there. | ||
| If we can get the Daily Beast article off and put it up. | ||
| Pretty solid article about the impact you've had. | ||
| The precinct committee strategy that you have endeavored upon a couple of years ago. | ||
| The little platoons. | ||
| The underpinnings of civic society in America. | ||
| Because that's why we have the most robust capital markets. | ||
| That's why our stock market is always the premier one. | ||
| That's why the bond market here. | ||
| That's why people want to invest their money in real estate here as bad as commercial real estate is. | ||
| That's why, quite frankly, the 10 million illegal alien invaders. | ||
| You can't put it on them, right? | ||
| Of course, if the elites in this country are going to invite them in, if you and I are in the same situation, we'd be taking the kids and coming north. | ||
| El Norte. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why are they doing that? | ||
| Not because of the globalist elites, no. | ||
| They're doing it because they understand you're decent folks and decent householders and you believe in family, in community, in neighborhood, in towns, in villages throughout this country. | ||
| That's why they're coming. | ||
| You. | ||
| But you are, and I want to repeat, freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, and a death cult. | ||
| If we can play, do I have enough time? | ||
| Hang on, I don't think I have enough time now. | ||
| I'm gonna wait for this, because I played it in the afternoon show yesterday, but I wanted to make sure everybody absorbs this, so I'll tee it up first. | ||
| Trump is the, of course, he's all things evil. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Worse than Putin, worse than Xi, worse than these murderous dictators throughout the world. | ||
| He's worse. | ||
| Right? | ||
| He's got to be jailed for 600 years. | ||
| He has to be in a Moscow show trial. | ||
| They have to steal his business, a multi-generational business, have to steal that business, take it from him, liquidate it, fine him, I don't know, it's $466 million, I think now, with interest and penalties. | ||
| Yet yesterday on Andrea Mitchell, remember, the sharpest tool in the shed, right? | ||
| Andrea Mitchell kind of wandering around, don't know exactly where she is at any one time, but she is married to her former chairman of the Federal Reserve and probably Outside of Volker, the most revered, although I thought he juiced the system a little too much, caused the crash of, was one of the guys that was, I think, responsible for the 2008 financial crash, of which we've never recovered from. | ||
| So, an ambassador, former ambassador to Moscow, Mike McFaul yesterday, argued, hey, if the ultra-mega-Republican-Christian-Nationalist house that has the biblical worldview Johnson captured, | ||
| will not shove sixty billion dollars to the oligarchs for the oligarch grift in ukraine so that more ukrainian innocent men women and children can be slaughtered in the charnel house that is the eastern russian-speaking border of two slavic entities then what we ought to do is we've already seized their their uh... their their assets their bonds let's convert it and take the cash | ||
| and give it to the Ukrainians, of which would destroy immediately Bretton Woods and everything that the fetish of the post-war international rules-based order is predicated on. | ||
| But remember, you're the freaks, you're the weirdos, you're the insurrectionists, you're the death cult. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We'll see the take on Justice Thomas next. | ||
| From stripping away women's rights, to dealing with six cases you definitely shouldn't be hearing, to potentially helping roll back decades of federal regulations. | ||
| And you deserve a break, you know, away from the meanness of Washington, so you can be surrounded by the regular folks whose lives you've made demonstrably worse for decades now. | ||
| And the good news is, I think we can help you there, because since your favourite mode of travel might be in need of an upgrade, we are excited to offer you Look at this! | ||
| Brand new, top-of-the-line, Prevo Marathon motorcoat. | ||
| Look at this beauty, Clarence! | ||
| It's worth 2.4 million dollars. | ||
| And it's got a full bedroom. | ||
| Yes, that is a king bed. | ||
| One and a half baths, a f***ing fireplace, four TVs, a washer-dryer and, and I quote, a residential-sized fridge. | ||
| And if you're thinking, what will my friends say if I take this offer? | ||
| Will they judge me as they sit in their boardrooms and megayachts and Hitler shrines? | ||
| Will they still treat me to luxury vacations and sing songs about me off their phones? | ||
| Well, that's the beauty of friendship, Clarence. | ||
| If they're real friends, they'll love you no matter what your job is. | ||
| So I guess this Might be the perfect way to find out who your real friends actually are So that's the offer a million dollars a year Clarence and a brand new condo on wheels and all you have to do in return is sign the contract and get the off the Supreme Court World because the clock starts now Okay, that was uh, that was John Oliver | ||
| Nothing more than I like being lectured by an awfully awfully pencil neck. | ||
| Soyboy Englishman. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Early in the morning. | ||
| So I brought Mark Paoletta in, who knows Justice Thomas. | ||
| In fact, I think your photo was in that diatribe. | ||
| Give me your assessment of John Oliver. | ||
| This is very sophisticated information warfare presented as comedy. | ||
| Walk us through why this is important and why we're dealing with it, Brother Paoletta. | ||
| Steve, thanks for having me on. | ||
| You know, John Oliver's a clown, right? | ||
| A British clown. | ||
| What's really going on here is that the left is furious that the Supreme Court is no longer theirs. | ||
| And what happened a couple weeks ago? | ||
| You had the Colorado case, which the left deluded themselves into thinking was some kind of real case. | ||
| They have these constitutional law experts talking about how a Secretary of State can disqualify a presidential candidate. | ||
| Nuts. | ||
| Nuts stuff, but it actually has this currency of somehow being legitimate. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| It gets up to the Supreme Court, and I was there. | ||
| in the courtroom to watch that argument. | ||
| And it was such a beatdown, an absolute beatdown on the left. | ||
| I don't know how that guy walked out of that argument. | ||
| It was so horrible. | ||
| And every single justice on the Supreme Court, left and right, the liberals piled on this guy. | ||
| And I think the left realized, wow, We are going to get blown out. | ||
| I think it's probably going to be a 9-0 decision on that one. | ||
| That's regarding Colorado and Maine and the Secretaries of State and these crazy state courts trying to remove Donald Trump from the ballot and, you know, thwart democracy. | ||
| But they realize they don't control the Supreme Court. | ||
| And what do they do? | ||
| Their go-to thing is attack Clarence Thomas. | ||
| It exposes their racism, but that's what they want to do. | ||
| They attack Clarence Thomas and the court. | ||
| If you look at that piece, right, who did they go after? | ||
| They went after Gorsuch. | ||
| They went after Alito. | ||
| They went after Scalia. | ||
| They didn't go after the left justices, right? | ||
| They want to just try and destroy the court, right, by going after them on this garbage ethics stuff. | ||
| And we know the Democrats don't care about ethics, right? | ||
| But yes, it is racist, obviously, but in addition, This is not Robert's court. | ||
| This is Clarence Thomas. | ||
| This is the Thomas court. | ||
| Is it not, sir? | ||
| One thousand percent, Steve. | ||
| I've said that many times on your program. | ||
| It is a Thomas court. | ||
| He is the intellectual leader and he is the model of courage on that Supreme Court. | ||
| And it drives the left nuts. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And again, when I watch these things, it's the same old tired, dishonest stuff. | ||
| And I it gets I don't know, it's boring to walk through how many lies or dishonest things are in there, right? | ||
| But what did he call Clarence Thomas in that? | ||
| John Oliver? | ||
| The most consequential justice on the Supreme Court. | ||
| And the left knows that. | ||
| He is the most consequential, he is our greatest Supreme Court justice, in my view, in our history, right? | ||
| And he has been on the court for 33 years, and you know what he did? | ||
| What do you say? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was laying down these decisions, Steve, right? | ||
| On abortion, on affirmative action, on the administrative state, on the Second Amendment, all in dissent over the years. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| His intellectual honesty and courage, right? | ||
| He has brought this court and these new appointees, all these young appointees that are on the court, guess what? | ||
| They love Clarence Thomas when they are young people. | ||
| I worked on these confirmations, as you did, right? | ||
| Gorsuch. | ||
| Gorsuch writing back Back in the early 2000s about Justice Thomas's opinion in Kelo, his dissent, right? | ||
| And so he has built a far-reaching court that's going into the future. | ||
| And the court, what does John Oliver talk about? | ||
| But hang on, hang on. | ||
| John Oliver, this is what drives him crazy. | ||
| He is the intellectual leader of the Thomas Court. | ||
| The reason he's the head of the Thomas Court or the intellectual leader is that he is. | ||
| And as you remember, we had a five-man committee that worked through the selection. | ||
| It was Don McGahn, Mark Paoletta, Reince Priebus, myself, and Mike Pence. | ||
| And you and really Don laid out what we're looking for. | ||
| Opinions, brilliance, the written word to drive the court. | ||
| And it was all around Clarence Thomas, what Clarence Thomas has done. | ||
| And isn't that why they hate him so much? | ||
| Because they hate that a conservative Is a black man who is the intellectual leader of a court that is trying to thwart the radicalness and the demonic tendencies of the radical left, sir? | ||
| Yes, absolutely. | ||
| The default to fine judges for the Trump administration was who clerked for Clarence Thomas. | ||
| There are 12 federal judges on the bench that are former Thomas clerks. | ||
| There were lots of solicitor generals. | ||
| The guy who argued the Dobbs case, Scott Stewart, out in Mississippi, he's a former Thomas clerk. | ||
| There are tons of them all around there. | ||
| And here's the other thing, Steve, if you remember, during those interviews... Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Hang on, hang on a second. | ||
| I want to repeat that. | ||
| There are 12 federal judges right now that were clerks for Clarence Thomas, correct? | ||
| Yes, and many on the courts of appeals. | ||
| Some of them are going to be considered for the next Supreme Court opening. | ||
| And what they learn from his is not just his originalism, his unfiltered originalism. | ||
| As you recall, I love Justice Scalia. | ||
| He at one point said he was a fainthearted originalist, unlike Justice Thomas. | ||
| Thomas is the real deal. | ||
| You saw that in the Dobbs decision where he said substantive due process is false and can completely be thrown out on lots of other opinions that had been touched on there. | ||
| And what we showed in that interview was a chart that showed that almost every justice on the Supreme Court, if you remember this, had become more liberal since the time of the Warren Court and even before. | ||
| They all became more liberal because they want to be liked. | ||
| They cave to the leftist pressure. | ||
| The only person who didn't was Clarence Thomas. | ||
| And the question for those people were, why isn't this going to happen to you in 10 years or 15 years? | ||
| Tell me why you're not going to drift. | ||
| Why are you a person of principle that's going to stand by your principles? | ||
| That's what Thomas has taught. | ||
| The justice is on this court and he is the leader, as I said, both intellectually but courage wise, right? | ||
| A guy who they come after nonstop and he doesn't bend. | ||
| That's what we need more of and we need to support the court and you're, you know, you know, we need to support the court. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is why they try. | |
| If they win this time, what they're going to try to do is pack the court. | ||
| They're trying to expand the Supreme Court. | ||
| They're going to try to expand the federal judiciary. | ||
| You watch. | ||
| They're coming after the court because they understand the court is the anchor right now for the populist movement, right? | ||
| Yeah, that's what Oliver said. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| I want to play. | ||
| He admitted it. | ||
| This is why Oliver's thing is draped in comedy. | ||
| But it's a very serious, and this is the attack on the court, and particularly Justice Thomas, is only going to get played up. | ||
| Can I go ahead and play? | ||
| The resistance is starting to break. | ||
| Can I go ahead and play that clip? | ||
| Let's go ahead and play it. | ||
| As I said, no one could be blamed for being exhausted by our politics right now. | ||
| I mean, nobody could be blamed for that. | ||
| But the fact of the matter is, if you thought 2016 or 2020 was an emergency, my God, look how much worse things could be in 2024. | ||
| All the sirens are blaring. | ||
| Donald Trump, every day, gives you a reason to understand the stakes are so much higher now, whether he's talking about terminating the Constitution, whether he's talking about assassinating generals that are... Does this sound familiar? | ||
| Assassinating generals who are disloyal to him, or shooting them for treason, or... Whether he talks about how he has the right that he's legally protected, if he decides, like, Putin to assassinate one of his political rivals. | ||
| He says as president, he should have complete immunity on that. | ||
| We could go down the list. | ||
| What I'm finding is, as far as exhaustion setting in, Jen, I'm finding exhaustion among Trump supporters in my family, in my neighborhood, in my old church, people I grew up with who voted for Trump in 16. | ||
| voted for Trump in 20. No apologies. Even as Trump was calling me a murderer. No apologies. | ||
| They were just going to vote for Donald Trump. Post January 6th, post chaos of the last couple of years, they're the ones I'm talking to who are exhausted. | ||
| And I must say also, and I completely understand the whole theme of being exhausted by Trump. | ||
| I'm exhausted by him every single day. | ||
| I can't take anymore. | ||
| If you didn't have Trump, dude, you wouldn't have a show. | ||
| So don't give me your exhausted. | ||
| By the way, all the articles are about how the left, they're breaking their picks on this. | ||
| They're exhausted. | ||
| We've got a lot more energy. | ||
| We've never been more energized because MAGA is ascended. | ||
| Mark Paoletta, where do people get you over at CRA? | ||
| How do they get your documentary and the book on Justice Thomas? | ||
| Sure, Steve. | ||
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| MarkPaoletta.com. | ||
| There's every article and everything you could ever want as to why these attacks are all bogus. | ||
| Everything is all put into the Oliver piece. | ||
| Everything's, you know, false or misleading or a flat-out lie there. | ||
| So you can read about it at MarkPaoletta.com. | ||
| At Mark Palette, I'm on X. | ||
| The book is called Created Equal, Clarence Thomas and His Own Words. | ||
| You know what I'm doing this month, Steve? | ||
| I'm going out to college campuses and talking to kids about the movie, which is the same name Created Equal, Clarence Thomas and His Own Words, in the book here. | ||
| People should learn about him. | ||
| The viewers should learn about him. | ||
| He's our greatest living American. | ||
| We're going to make sure. | ||
| The greatest living American. | ||
| Mark, thank you so much. | ||
| And thank you for being over at CRA, the hotbed of Christian nationalism in this country. | ||
| Short break. | ||

|
Came out on the stage in Munich and galvanized the whole conference. | |
| Now today she was on his YouTube channel and saying that, indicating she's ready to take the torch and continue his work. | ||
| Talk to me about the significance of that. | ||
| Well, it's obviously the thing she has to do. | ||
| I saw her the day before her husband was killed in Munich. | ||
| I was there with you, Andrea, when she spoke to the group. | ||
| It was electrifying. | ||
| You saw how strong she is. | ||
| She's the obvious candidate to lead this charge. | ||
| But if she were on this show with us right now, you know what she'd be talking about? | ||
| She'd be talking about what you all just were talking about, this aid bill to Ukraine. | ||
| Putin is a killer. | ||
| Putin killed her husband, and every day he is killing people on the Ukrainian battlefield. | ||
| And if we want to stop that, if we want to fight evil, that's the word she would use, you have to do something. | ||
| And it's hard for her. | ||
| She doesn't know what to do. | ||
| But members of Congress have something right in front of them that they can do. | ||
| It's right there. | ||
| They can help stop the killing of Putin's war machine. | ||
| And I, too, met with members of Congress in Munich. | ||
| And again, they are self-selected, like Jonathan said. | ||
| But this is a moment, this is a historic moment. | ||
| If they don't pass this, historians will write about them like the American firsters in 1940. | ||
| Who said, oh, aid to Great Britain won't matter. | ||
| This is not our war. | ||
| They look very bad in retrospect in that position. | ||
| And I think they have to take the initiative now. | ||
| And I have one concrete solution, Andrea. | ||
| I'm going to reveal it here on your show right now. | ||
| They need cover, just like you said. | ||
| Speaker Johnson needs some cover. | ||
| He just can't roll over. | ||
| Here's an idea. | ||
| There's something called the Repo Act that is passed out with overwhelming majorities From both the Senate and the Houses. | ||
| It basically takes the frozen Russian assets that we have and it gives it to the Ukrainians. | ||
| Sponsored by Senator Reach, Republican and Congressman McCaul, Republican in the House. | ||
| Marry that to this bill. | ||
| And then, Speaker Johnson can say to the people sitting behind Jonathan, where he is right now, I know them, they're not all thrilled about this. | ||
| There's a debate within the Biden administration as to whether this is a good idea. | ||
| I want to put this in perspective so you understand. | ||
| This is all your bettors. | ||
| McFaul, he's one of your bettors. | ||
| This is on MSNBC. | ||
| It's been relentless and non-stop since this war started. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| McFaul and Stavridis and all the clowns they had on MSNBC for two years, two years, have been dead wrong on everything about this war. | ||
| And we, in the war, have been dead right. | ||
| Remember, they were going to destroy the Russian economy, do things they didn't do to the Nazis in Imperial Japan, their central bank, take down the currency, they were going to do this, they were going to do that. | ||
| The Russian economy is thriving. | ||
| One of the reasons it's thriving is saying the billionaires couldn't take their money out of the country. | ||
| Maybe we should learn that lesson here in the United States of America. | ||
| Everything they told you is wrong, and who paid for it? | ||
| Exactly who Professor Mersheimer at the University of Chicago said was going to pay for it. | ||
| The Ukrainian people. | ||
| We led them down the Primrose Path. | ||
| And now, I don't know if it's 100,000 dead or 500,000 dead or a million. | ||
| You can see it in different articles because they won't ever publish the numbers. | ||
| Here's what we do know. | ||
| Here's what we do know. | ||
| That the Ukrainian moms and dads will not allow their sons and daughters to be thrown into the charnel house. | ||
| That's why they can't press gang enough. | ||
| They need 500,000 troops. | ||
| The average age of the Ukrainian army is 42 years old. | ||
| They need 500,000. | ||
| It's not shells they need, or weapon systems they need, or ATAKMS, or all this crappy here in MSNBC. | ||
| All these people don't know what they're talking about. | ||
| You know, all of a sudden they're Clausewitz. | ||
| Everybody's Clausewitz. | ||
| You hear that all the time. | ||
| They need 500,000 troops. | ||
| New troops. | ||
| Fresh troops. | ||
| And they're already press-ganging them like they did in Nelson's Navy back in the early 19th century. | ||
| And the parents are getting their kids out of there, particularly their sons. | ||
| This is why you had virtually a mutiny of the two most beloved officers in the Ukrainian army two weeks ago. | ||
| And you had to send the dominatrix, Victoria Nuland, war criminal Victoria Nuland over there to stabilize the situation for the CIA in the deep state. | ||
| Because they told Zelensky we need manpower. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Just like you can't recruit in Biden's regime, and that's why recruiting has fallen through the floor here in the United States of America, it's done the same in Ukraine. | ||
| Why? | ||
| They don't believe in the leadership. | ||
| It's not the military leadership that they don't believe in. | ||
| It's Zelensky and this crew of oligarchs that are grifting off this money. | ||
| Note to self, we're not sending the $60 billion. | ||
| That is not going. | ||
| You've tried every, you know, the southern border, the invasion doesn't matter, nothing matters. | ||
| The only thing that matters to these people, these globalists, is the $60 billion Ukraine. | ||
| That's the only thing that matters. | ||
| The only thing. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| Everything wrong in this country right now, it's the only thing, they're obsessed by it. | ||
| Obsessed by it. | ||
| And now McCaul, this is how radical they are. | ||
| What he's talking about, the underpinnings of his fetish, his fetish is the post-war international liberal rules-based order. | ||
| The same order that was used to enslave Lao Baijing. | ||
| The same rules-based order that was to destroy your economic viability, folks. | ||
| Fifty-four percent of you can't put your hands on a thousand bucks in cash right now. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because that international rules-based order that the Bush regime backed up the murderers of Tiananmen Square, right? | ||
| When the Chinese Communist Party, who we had given the country to in 1949, were about to fall. | ||
| To Patriots, Lao-Beijing, old hunter names in Beijing, no. | ||
| The Bushes bailed them out. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because they needed the slave labor of Lao-Beijing to make the world system, to make the international system work. | ||
| But it's predicated upon the prime reserve currency, the dollar. | ||
| What Fall is talking about is so radical. | ||
| For instance, the Mulas, we still have their assets seized. | ||
| And we've dribbled some back to them. | ||
| That's this controversy about the six billion dollars. | ||
| But we've never converted it. | ||
| They're dollar denominated. | ||
| These are treasury bills, treasury notes, treasury bonds. | ||
| And they're used to make sure you can have international trade. | ||
| Every nation has it. | ||
| It's kept in money center banks. | ||
| We seized it at the beginning of this war to choke the Russian economy down. | ||
| Didn't quite work. | ||
| But now they want to convert it into cash money and give it to the Ukrainians to go kill Russians. | ||
| You do that, and the dollar is gone immediately. | ||
| In fact, Andrea Mitchell, the thing goes on, we couldn't play, she goes on and says, you know, the Swiss and the Japanese really oppose this. | ||
| Yeah, I think so. | ||
| Those guys know the importance of a prime reserve currency. | ||
| Like, when the Swiss and the Japanese bankers are telling you something, maybe you ought to pay attention. | ||
| These are the radicals. | ||
| But you're, remember, you're the drivers of anarchy and chaos. | ||
| You are freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, and a death cult. | ||
| Don't listen to me. | ||
| Listen to them. | ||
| What the French poets say, it's most important not to see the world and talk about it. | ||
| It's the most important thing you have is to see what you see. | ||
| Don't take it from me. | ||
| Don't take it from Tucker Carlson. | ||
| Don't take it from Sean Hannity. | ||
| Don't even take it from Donald J. Trump. | ||
| See for yourself. | ||
| And see what these radicals are. | ||
| That is not the rule of law, it's the rule of the lawless. | ||
| It's not the rule of law anymore, it's a reign of outlaws. | ||
| They are anarchy, they are chaos, and that's why the world's an anarchy and chaos! | ||
| This is an illegitimate regime that stole the 2020 election. | ||
| Elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. | ||
| And if you don't think this nation's had catastrophic consequences, we have 10 million illegal alien invaders. | ||
| Laura Loomer's down there with Michael Yan. | ||
| The videos she's coming back with are amazing. | ||
| And we've had teams down in the Darien Gap now for what, Burquam this crowd for two or three years? | ||
| Two or three years. | ||
| BBC goes down there and it's like a huge reveal. | ||
| Lord, look at this. | ||
| It's not chaos and anarchy down there. | ||
| The Biden regime has thought this through as a well-organized invasion of your country. | ||
| They've used every law, taken every law off, taken every executive order off. | ||
| They got all the apps. | ||
| Now we find out they got Starlink down there. | ||
| Got to ask some questions of Elon Musk, Mr. free speech absolutist. | ||
| Mike Davis joins us. | ||
| So the thing, the clip before, the clip at the end of the last thing is they're breaking, they're getting tired. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| They don't have the grit. | ||
| You have the greatest attribute of the American people is it's cussedness, it's grit, it's determination. | ||
| Remember, we got kicked out of every decent country in Europe and we're proud of it. | ||
| We're proud of it. | ||
| It's that cussedness that's made this country. | ||
| And that's what our opponents don't have. | ||
| They're eventually going to get tired. | ||
| It's too much. | ||
| It's too much. | ||
| It's too hard. | ||
| You damn right it's hard. | ||
| It's going to get harder. | ||
| Because we are totally, totally inflexible. | ||
| And we're ascendant. | ||
| Just read the Daily Beast article on the RNC. | ||
| You may be able to hold out for a while, but you're not going to be able to hold out forever. | ||
| We're eventually going to get you. | ||
| And the resistance is creating... Mike Davis. | ||
| Talk about bringing a redhead Irishman in now. | ||
| Born fighting Mike Davis. | ||
| Mike Davis, first of all, talk to me about this John Oliver going after our guy Justice Thomas. | ||
| Is it the Thomas Court? | ||
| Am I right or am I over the top again? | ||
| You're always right, Steve, and President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term was transforming the five to four left of center courts to the five to four Clarence Thomas court with President Trump's appointments of Justice Gorsuch, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Barrett. | ||
| And why this is so important is there are now five justices Five solid conservative justices are usually solid. | ||
| You know, they disappoint from time to time, but for the most part, these are solid constitutional justices. | ||
| The chief justice is conservative. | ||
| I'm not one of those people who says that the chief justice is liberal, but the chief justice thinks that he's protecting The legitimacy of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary by keeping the liberal critics at bay, you know, appeasing the liberal critics. | ||
| And I would say that by trying to depoliticize the court, he's actually politicizing it and making it worse because he makes it where these liberals think that these justices are gettable. | ||
| What's nice about Justice Clarence Thomas is he's been on the court, you know, for over 30 years, and you're not going to move that man. | ||
| He used to write lonely dissents where these decisions were 8 to 1, and it was Clarence Thomas writing these lonely dissents for many, many years. | ||
| And now it's the Clarence Thomas court because of President Trump, and that is so important. | ||
| Do they hate him, because they do hate him, do they hate him because he's a black man that's the intellectual leader of not just the court but really this movement of a vast intellectual awakening in this country? | ||
| Is that why they hate him the most? | ||
| There is no question that's why they hate him the most. | ||
| Clarence Thomas used to be a radical Marxist and then he, you know, saw the light and he's been a A fearless conservative for decades. | ||
| And I always say the Democrats hate Clarence Thomas because Clarence Thomas escaped the Democrat plantation. | ||
| And they hate Jenny Thomas, Clarence Thomas' wife, because she's never worked in the Democrats' kitchen. | ||
| And the Democrats are so vicious towards Justice Clarence and Jenny Thomas because they are rock-solid conservatives, they are rock-solid constitutionalists, they are great Americans, and you're not going to cow them. | ||
| So these attacks on Clarence Thomas, these attacks on Jenny Thomas, I'm friends with them. | ||
| You're not going to move them, you're actually going to embolden them. | ||
| All right, we're going to dig in. | ||
| Hang on a second, Mike, I want to talk about lawlessness. | ||
| You've got a couple of good examples of this. | ||
| Mike Davis from Article 3, who keeps a watch on all the things, all the lawfare that they're throwing up against President Trump. | ||
| Go back to McCaul, before we go to break, go back to McFaul, the ambassador, what they're trying to do, destroy Bretton Woods. | ||
| Maybe it's time now to go get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| We've been working on this for three years because we knew what the Biden regime was going to do. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| The end of the dollar empire, totally free, four installments. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| Okay, in today's Financial Times of London, I'll get this up on Getter later, a fantastic op-ed from our own J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| We had Senator Vance on here before he gave that speech at the Munich conference, really shook him up because they hadn't heard the truth. | ||
| Europe must stand on its own two feet on defense. | ||
| Remember, it's not that we want to get out of NATO, we want NATO to actually be an alliance. | ||
| The problem is, it's a protectorate. | ||
| Outside the Brits and the Polish, nobody even comes close to the 2% of the GDP for their national defense. | ||
| The Germans being the worst. | ||
| Of course, they've now all said that, and this was Trump browbeating people, you got to get to 2% and you have to start acting like an alliance. | ||
| Here's the problem even with the 2%. | ||
| When you actually look at it, it's got climate change, it's got healthcare, it doesn't have weapons, doesn't have arms, doesn't have interoperability, doesn't have maneuvers. | ||
| As JD said, I don't think all of NATO combined can put up two combat divisions. | ||
| Two combat divisions. | ||
| That's not an alliance, that's a protectorate. | ||
| The word has to be, in Europe, they have to understand something and embrace it. | ||
| In the Swiss ski resorts, in Tuscany, in the south of France, in Paris, uh... in berlin and particularly in the west end of london belgravia hear this we're not underwriting it anymore we bailed you out in world war one we bailed you out again in world war two we bailed you out again in the cold war we're not doing it again you're gonna stand up on your own two feet | ||
| The elites of those nations are going to stand up on their own two feet and you're going to start to defend yourself. | ||
| In the Red Sea right now you have two, count them, two carrier battlegroups down there to keep open the Suez Canal. | ||
| You got one British combatant, you got one French combatant, the Brits got to fly from Cyprus. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| The Suez Canal is to get oil to Europe and to get goods from Asia to Europe and then back again. | ||
| It's your canal. | ||
| And the United States should not be on permanent patrol over there. | ||
| Anthony Sabatini, one of the great defenders of America vs. Matt Gaetz. | ||
| They're targeting Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Well, a number of things they're targeting with Capitol Hill, but particularly in the state of Florida. | ||
| Have they put up a bill that's kind of like rank-choice voting? | ||
| Are they trying to do something to get rid of MAGA? | ||
| I thought Florida was a MAGA state, Sabatini. | ||
| Why is the Assembly down there? | ||
| I think the House. | ||
| It should be MAGA. | ||
| Why are they trying to put up something, some new law, that would dilute MAGA, sir? | ||
| That's exactly right, Steve. | ||
| So there's two weeks left in the Florida legislative session. | ||
| And literally just two weeks left. | ||
| At this point, usually no, there's no more bills that are new or moving. | ||
| And the establishment down here has conducted a sneak attack quite literally yesterday, probably 18 hours ago. | ||
| They filed a bill. | ||
| It's got a name. | ||
| It's called PCB SAC 2406. | ||
| And what it is, is it's a bill to bring back runoff elections in the state of Florida. | ||
| What's basically going on is because of the occurrence of MAGA, you know, Can audiences and voters like the people who watch your show know and they can find out a primary who the true dyed-in-the-wool conservative MAGA candidate is and they coalesce around that candidate and those candidates are winning in races across the board. | ||
| That's why the Freedom Caucus is growing. | ||
| That's why you're getting more people like Matt Gaetz in office. | ||
| And so what the establishment is trying to do now is actually force whoever wins a contested primary into a second runoff primary in order to coalesce the forces around the moderate, extend the election season and pour more money. | ||
| Remember, the establishment will always have a money advantage. | ||
| That's in the cake. | ||
| That's never going to go away. | ||
| And so by extending the calendar year, putting them through two primaries, they can dump more money behind the preferred establishment candidate and drag them out. | ||
| Now, one of the reasons why They want to do this is because it's already clear through polling that Matt Gaetz is the front runner for governor in 2026. | ||
| That election will kick off roughly a year from now, and he's going to beat anybody in a contested four, five, or six-way primary. | ||
| But they think that if they force him into a two-way primary, then they can gather their forces and drag him out a longer year and hit him. | ||
| So we have to stop this bill. | ||
| It's got two committee stops, state affairs tomorrow morning, 8 a.m., five-hour committee meeting, I hope everybody's calling every elected Republican in the state legislature and telling them to vote heck no on this bill and then it's going to hit the floor next week and hopefully we can kill this and then of course a backstop is trying to get the governor to to veto it too but we can stop this if we're loud enough. | ||
| Where do people go to your site to get all the phone numbers? | ||
| Grace and Moe are going to be on this tomorrow. | ||
| We've got to get on top of this. | ||
|

Check me out on Twitter. | |
| They're trying to dilute the MAGA vote everywhere, so we've got to get to the ramparts on this. | ||
| This is about Gates. | ||
| They're coming at Gates in this ethics thing. | ||
| I'll deal with that later in the week, but this has got to be stopped in committee. | ||
| Where do they go, Sabatini? | ||
| In about 10 minutes, I'm going to post every phone number for all of the members of the committee, the State Affairs Committee, on my Twitter page. | ||
| That's at Anthony Sabatini, at Anthony Sabatini. | ||
| And work the phones, work the emails, and let's be loud and let's get this thing stopped. | ||
| Sabatini, fantastic. | ||
| Get it up there. | ||
| We'll push it out. | ||
| Look forward to having you back on. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Remember, it was Anthony Sabatini that came to us and got the redistricting sorted out. | ||
| When Degrassi and those guys came in and provided the muscle, he said there were games being played in the statehouse in Tallahassee. | ||
| Unbelievable, right? | ||
| You would never think there would be any games in Tallahassee. | ||
| Mike Davis, let's talk about Illinois. | ||
| President Trump is up for, I don't know, six or seven hundred years in prison for crimes. | ||
| Tell me, is it even-handed how they're doing this with Democrats, sir, at the state level? | ||
| No. | ||
| And well, I'm going to talk about a case. | ||
| We have two cases right now before the US Supreme Court. | ||
| You have a case where the Supreme Court is going to interpret two criminal statutes, one on gratuities, which is a form of bribery. | ||
| And then one related to the obstruction charge that the Biden Justice Department is bringing against the January 6th defendants, and Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department is bringing against President Trump. | ||
| And so you have this Obama judge in Chicago, this Obama federal judge in Chicago, who is correctly delaying by six months Former Illinois Democrat House Speaker Michael Madigan's corruption trial because the Supreme Court is hearing the gratuities case on April 15th and will decide | ||
| Hey, Davis, Davis, Davis, hang on for one second. | ||
| Mike, hang on for one second. | ||
| I'm gonna hold you through the break. | ||
| 90-second break. | ||
| CPAC.org slash war room. | ||
| The tickets are still 95 bucks if you come as a war room member, but you got to go to CPAC.org slash war room to get the $95 ticket. | ||
| Also tomorrow, We're putting on a, how do I say this, a conference, a workshop. | ||
| Force Multiplier Academy. | ||
