The state more than 100 years ago, 1915.
The most recent, Regis Davies state in the Supreme Court in 2010, although they don't refer to Caesar's wife.
That requirement is also embedded in the prosecutor's statutory oath, 15-18-2, which requires impartially and without fear or favor discharge my duties as district attorney and take only my lawful compensation, so help me God.
The general rule on conflicts of interest for lawyers is in Rule of Professional Conduct 1.7.
And we all know, it's all drummed into us, that we cannot have a conflict of interest.
And if we do, we have to withdraw or we will be disqualified.
The basic idea is that a conflict of interest impairs the lawyer's independent professional judgment.
That's the test of a conflict and whether it can be weighed and whether it's disqualifying.
And that conflict is not just financial.
It can be any conflict that impairs your independent professional judgment, and you see that in McLaughlin v. Payne.
The court asked what was a personal interest for purposes of disqualification.
It's anything that impairs professional judgment.
That's reflected in the ADA standards that were quoted by Mr. Merchant, which list the prosecutor's personal, political, financial, professional, business, property, or other interests or relationships.
And that's really embedded in the prosecutor's oath to act impartially.
And the earlier disqualification order by Judge McBurney was based on political interests, not financial.
What my colleagues have described as forensic misconduct is also cognizable as a conflict of interest based on that footnote in William's case.
The root of all of the problems that we see in this court right now is a conflict of interest arising from their individual personal interests in perpetuating and concealing their relationship.
That's the original sin from which all of the other problems flow.
There are six different actual conflicts of interest in this case, any one of which warrants disqualification, but collectively, practically compelling.
First, the financial conflict that's already been covered.
Second, the personal ambition, political ambition.
Third, there's a dovetailed or complementary pattern of deceit and concealment of the relationship and the money.
Fourth, the speech at the church.
Fifth, the motion for protective order that the DA filed in Mr. Wade's divorce case.
Sixth, the way the state has conducted the defense of this motion to disqualify especially the hearing.
On the financial piece, the court asked for a limiting principle and asked about materiality.
The limiting principle is whatever impairs the independent professional judgment of the lawyer that is applied routinely.
We have a county code section that flatly prohibits gifts from contractors.
Period.
steve bannon
We have... 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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved!

War Room.
boris epshteyn
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
It's Friday, 1 March, Hero Lore 2024.
We're going to hold it right there.
The evisceration of Fonny Willis today was not pretty.
But it shows you what a complete buffoon clown show it is down there in Fulton County.
Embarrassing and humiliating to the people of the great state of Georgia, Atlanta, Fulton County, and I gotta tell you, Kemp and Carr gotta step in there.
The lawyers for Trump, Clark, and Mike Roman, just, I mean, it was embarrassing.
How much they crush her.
We're going to go back to that because it's so absolutely compelling and people I think gotta hear this.
But I want to start first.
So much happening today.
We're going to try to get through it all.
Julie Kelly in the courtroom in Florida.
About the classified documents case, of course, last night, and folks, you know, we curate MSNBC and CNN for you.
They are still just talking about the lawfare.
They're talking about the immunity hearing being pushed off by the Supreme Court.
They're all over Judge Cannon in Florida.
All they are talking about is how they still try to stop Trump with lawfare and their apoplectic That they're not going to get in front of a jury.
Julie Kelly, you were there.
He comes out last night in the middle of the night and says we must start on the 8th of July.
We must start this trial on the 8th of July.
It was a primal scream for help from Jack Smith.
unidentified
How'd it go today in Florida?
julie kelly
It went—it was very interesting, as I expected.
Judge Aileen Cannon, very measured, low-key.
She seems unfazed.
President Trump was there.
He arrived about 9.55.
So she's a very serious, deliberate, careful judge who doesn't make a lot of extemporaneous political comments, which is a nice departure from what I usually hear from judges in Washington, D.C.
But not only did they ask for a July 8th trial date in their motion filed yesterday, Steve.
Today, Jay Barrett, who is one of the lead prosecutors for Jack Smith, said, we have to get this case to trial this summer.
He said it as plain as day.
So, and Judge Cannon pushed back on that, and she actually said, the pretrial calendar that you've given me to restart, leading up to a July 8th trial date, she said was unrealistic, given all the outstanding motions, special litigation related to the handling of classified material, both before and during trial.
So, it's highly unlikely that Jack Smith is going to get his way with that July trial date.
steve bannon
Isn't it obnoxious?
Isn't it so obvious?
I mean, look, they're sucking their thumbs in the fetal position because of the Supreme Court ruling.
I mean, it's a complete meltdown because they know this is lawfare and selection interference.
Isn't it offensive that Jack Smith's actually trying to push for a July trial date here, given there's so many motions, all the classified material, there's so much to go through, ma'am?
julie kelly
Yes, because, Stephen, I kind of tweeted this yesterday.
I'm like, but they stopped filing motions on the classified documents docket in Florida.
It's impossible to keep up because they just have this flurry of motions going back and forth.
And this was one reason, Judge Cannon said, we have 13 outstanding motions right now, including what we'll talk about a little bit, this bombshell motion to compel discovery.
But these are also motions to dismiss based on the Presidential Records Act, based on immunity, based on selective prosecution.
So they have to go back and forth on all those motions, too, not the least of which, too, is what they call CIPA, which is Classified Information Procedures Act, that attempts to keep materials away from people accused of mishandling classified documents, including the former president, whose documents were created during his administration.
So they're very complicated issues related to the classified documents case that you didn't see in Washington, D.C., which is why, Steve, even though the indictment in Washington came after the classified documents indictment, Jack Smith, along with Judge Tanya Chudkin, the Obama appointee in Washington, tasked with this case, leapfrogged over Judge Cannon and set this March 4th trial date, now vacated, over Judge Cannon's May 20th trial date.
They were pushing to get the D.C.
case to trial first.
They knew it was a layup.
They knew that they were dubious charges.
They knew that they would get a conviction in Washington, D.C., the most Democratic city in the country.
So this is all falling apart.
The Fannie Willis, obviously.
Who would have predicted this was going to be falling apart?
But the real kicker, Steve, is one reason why, as Judge Cannon said and Trump's defense attorney said today, they can't move with the July 8th trial, is because he will be in court in New York starting March 25th in this B.S.
Alvin Bragg prosecution.
And that wipes out almost two months of Trump being able to be involved in any pretrial court proceedings in Florida.
So they've really created such a mess for themselves.
And it's so gratifying to see this really unravel.
All four of these criminal prosecutions really start to unravel.
steve bannon
I know you don't have time for it, that's one of the reasons we curate it, but MSNBC, Weissman, Neal Katyal, this is all they talk about.
It's the pulling a hair and gnashing of teeth every second of every day.
Now they're putting up polls saying the 64% of the American people need to know if he's really guilty of insurrection before they vote in November.
Unfortunately, they're not charging him with insurrection, are they, Julie Kelly?
julie kelly
And here's the other thing that they didn't anticipate.
He's charged with four counts, four vague counts, three conspiracy, one obstruction of an official proceeding.
Well, guess what?
The week before they have oral arguments in the Supreme Court on the immunity matter, the week before, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments to reverse how the DOJ has applied 1512c to obstruction of an official proceeding, which represents half of Jack's misindictment.
If the Supreme Court comes back before they make a decision on the presidential immunity issue, and they reverse, and they say, which they should, that the DOJ has intentionally misinterpreted that statute applied to more than 330 J6ers and Donald Trump, this is not how it's supposed to be applied.
It's a document shredding, corporate fraud statute.
Half of Jack Smith's indictment will be gone.
He's going to go to trial in Washington in, what, September on two conspiracy counts?
I mean, it just becomes more laughable by the day.
steve bannon
I know you were in court.
I don't know if you got a chance to catch any of the Fonny Willis, but it was absolutely mesmerizing and brutal.
The lawyers for Trump, Clark, and particularly Mike Roman, I mean, went through and just eviscerated Fonny Willis.
She didn't have much reputation starting into this thing.
I just can't imagine how Carr cannot move to bring criminal charges against her for perjury, ma'am.
julie kelly
Him, they need to bring perjury charges against her, against Nathan Wade, and Terrence Bradley, who is Nathan Wade's law partner, one-time law partner, and allegedly represented him in the divorce.
They have misrepresented, not only have they lied under oath, all of them have lied in court filings, deceived the court, and this relates to Nathan Wade's divorce case, which is how this all originated.
They'll be lucky if all three of them don't end up in jail, disbarred and in jail, for what they have done to the other attorneys in this case, and certainly all of the defendants, including people like Mike Roman, Jeffrey Clark, and of course, Donald Trump.
steve bannon
Last thing, on J6, I keep seeing, are judges now looking at some of the charges about J6ers and reversing these?
It looks like a lot of activity in the J6 situation.
julie kelly
There's so much going on, Stephen.
We couldn't have our devices in the courtroom today, so I'm just catching up with an appellate court decision that has now overturned how the DOJ and several D.C.
judges have applied this administration of justice enhancement to obstruction of beneficial proceeding sentences.
This means that the DOJ went to the judges, said, When they're determining how long someone should be sentenced to prison for a conviction or plea, said, OK, we need to add this administration of justice.
Because they also interfered in a congressional proceeding, this enhancement, sentencing enhancement, upward departure should apply.
I don't even know.
Dozens.
I mean, I think we have over a hundred prison sentences for people convicted of 1512c2.
So they basically said, this has to do with a judicial proceeding.
This doesn't have to apply to a congressional proceeding, which will be part of the argument in the Supreme Court.
about 1512c2 and the joint session of Congress. I know this is getting kind of woody, but the fact of the matter, Steve, is not only are Trump's cases unraveling, the entire J6 prosecution.
This is the second time an appellate court, and these are three Democrat judges, by the way, this is the second time an appellate court has come back and said, this Department of Justice, Matthew Fraze to D.C.
unidentified
U.S.
julie kelly
Attorney, and numerous D.C.
judges have unlawfully applied sentences to J6-ers.
They did this before in a petty offense.
When judges were handing down prison and probation time, the appellate court came back and said, no, no, no.
This is a petty offense, a low-level misdemeanor.
You pick prison or probation, not both.
So they overturned that.
And now they're saying how DOJ and these judges have enhanced sentences under administration of justice is illegal.
steve bannon
Julie, where do people go to get all your information?
julie kelly
Steve, I'll tell you, after 1512p2 comes down, if SCOTUS reverses it, we have to call for the defunding, dismantling, and shutting down of the D.C.
Federal Courthouse completely.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
Prosecutions.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're going to do that.
Prosecute them.
Prosecute them all.
They all should go to prison.
All of them.
All of them should go to prison.
This is outrageous what they've done to people.
Julie, what social media, where do people get your stuff?
julie kelly
Substack.
Yes.
Declassified with Julie Kelly, Real Clear Investigations also, and then ask julie underscore kelly to truth julie underscore kelly.
steve bannon
Thank you, hun.
Fantastic.
We'll talk, I'll talk to you later tonight, maybe get you on the more.
Just an amazing day.
Ari Melber, Neil Katia, Andrew Weissman, suck on this!
We're gonna crush these people.
Back in a moment.
unidentified
Federal bribery statute, which has a threshold of $5,000, 18 U.S.C.
666.
The court asked about burdens and inferences.
The court can draw a negative inference from the state's failure to produce evidence to support the invisible magic cash balancing theory based on State v. Thomas, 311 Georgia 407, particularly footnote 19.
As to the timing question that the court asked about, There were two contracts for Mr. Wade executed after they acknowledged the relationship began.
Each one of them afflicted or conflicted under county and common law.
The second conflict is her political ambition for which she was previously chastised by Judge McBurney.
And that's also present in this book.
The inside flap of this book says that they were given, quote, exclusive access to thousands of secret documents, emails, text messages, and audio recordings.
The court has twice denied defense motions to unseal special purpose grand jury materials.
She helped herself to get the glory of this book.
I interviewed certified copies of a number of county code sections.
I'm not going to walk through those, but I'll tell you why they matter.
The stack of law from the state constitution down to the county ordinances imposes a regime on the DA under which she has three obligations.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to come back to that.
She got totally eviscerated.
Cane, and can we put up, I got Cane, Citizen Cane from Citizens Free Press.
Cain, I followed, I've known you for years.
I followed Citizen Street Press for a long, long time.
I don't think, and you're one of the go-to, you're our drudge.
You're one of the go-to news aggregators.
For MAGA, I have never seen your stack like this, ever.
It's an incredible day, and I want you to explain to the audience what happened to inspire Kane, who curates the news 7 days a week, 365 days a year, or this year, 366 days.
Tell us what inspired you to put up the stack as you have it today.
@citizenfreekane
I was in a mood, Bannon.
I mean, you see it.
You see the evidence.
I mean, if you want to know the truth, you don't want to get into the psychology of me.
You don't want to get into the brain because when you do, you want to know what caused it?
Because I felt like the stack was weak all day, right?
Because I was sucked into the vortex of the Fannie Willis hearing and the Judge Kanyon hearing in Fort Pierce, right?
And if I'm sucked into the vortex of something, what does that mean?
It means there are fewer headlines, fewer links, right?
And you see the stack today turned into sort of a I was just linking, because nobody had the highlights.
I'm watching this stuff in real time.
So I'm just linking my thoughts on what I'm seeing, right?
So it all wraps up.
And then we get the um lawyer, right?
The guy they scrape.
You know, this is the best Fulton County can do, right?
Adam Abate, if you play the um drinking game today, you're already in the emergency room with .40 BAC.
So when that guy came on after the, you know, the whirlwind, the power of the four Trump lawyers who won after another were made, you know, did a fantastic job.
Yeah.
steve bannon
It was like, it was like howitzers.
They were like howitzers.
Boom, boom, boom.
It was unbelievable.
@citizenfreekane
Yeah.
100%.
100%.
So I'll finish this up.
So after watching that, watching Adam Abate, I couldn't handle it.
I shut him off and I just started thinking about how we're winning.
And that's the purple headline, is the things in the last five days, you know, are victories.
And then the green headline is what's to come.
And, you know, and that's it.
And then you call me and I'm here.
steve bannon
No, it's a historic.
One thing before we pivot to the historic nature of this and the process and the flow is I knew it was bad when MSNBC, which we're curating, all of a sudden they go back to Katie Tur and Katie Tur goes, it's kind of painful to watch this guy.
Is that the best?
I mean, she actually said, is this the best the office has?
Because she just saw four.
It was like a battleship.
The Trump, Clark, and Mike Roman lawyers just unleashed like I've never seen.
First off, she will never recover from this.
She will never recover from this.
And I think you're going to see jail time.
I think not just this bar.
It's a humiliation for Democrats, Independents, Republicans in Fulton County.
You're supposed to be a global, you know, Atlanta's an international city with a huge international airport, tons of global companies.
You got humiliated today because this clown show was just eviscerated by lawyers that went through facts.
And then they put up, even Katie Turr over at MSNBC goes, she couldn't watch anymore.
She cut it off after about 10 minutes and goes, is that the best they've got?
That guy's kind of painful to watch.
So, not a good day.
And then Fonny Willis showed up.
After that, Fonny Willis showed up in the court, I think, and sitting down right next to the guy to kind of spur him on.
What is your sense?
Tell me why you were so... What has happened that's historic and what's in front of us that inspired you to say, hey, I'm doing the stack totally differently.
I'm going to tell MAGA what this inflection point is.
@citizenfreekane
Well, it's a feeling.
You don't see these things coming, and they happen naturally and organically, but we've been getting victory after victory.
You're right, I didn't see Katie Tour, but it was awful, Steve.
I mean, you see that headline I've got, that Adam Abate proves that no great lawyer becomes a Fulton County prosecutor.
I mean, they were scraping the bottom of the barrel, and he's gotta be the best they have.
Fannie and Nathan are not, Assuming they were gonna make it to the RICO trial, they weren't gonna argue any of it.
And so Adam is the best they have, which it's, you know, and as you said, they were howitzers from the Trump lawyers.
This was unlike the previous days of testimony completely, when they were having to fight witnesses and fight objections from the defense, and there was no, you know, theme to it.
Today was all theme and it was beautiful.
Now, what inspired, why am I so optimistic?
Well, I'm just seeing these things happening.
You know, look, it's still not a guarantee.
We saw Jack Smith say in Fort Pierce today that the DOJ rule only applies to indictment and beginning of the case.
So he's sort of...
unidentified
Did we lose him? Let's try it.
steve bannon
Let's try to get him back up if we could.
Kane does this for a living.
You know, it's one of the most important sites out there for just pure aggregation.
Unlike Gateway Pundit or Revolver, they don't do a lot of detail.
They don't really aggregate, even like Breitbart, to write stories about the aggregation and connect that.
He's putting them up there, but it's thematic.
And today was pretty extraordinary.
He's absolutely correct.
And look, we blow through this weekend.
President Trump's actually going to be at rallies tomorrow.
We're going to do some pregame.
We're also going to do some pregame for the rally for the nurse, Nurse Riley, the nursing student in Atlanta that was brutally murdered by an illegal alien pervert.
But, you know, we roll through next Tuesday, which is Super Tuesday.
I don't think President Trump's actually going to do anything Sunday or Monday.
I haven't checked that yet.
I think Sunday's taking off and doing calls and doing Yeah, I'm not sure exactly.
It's funny, man.
I couldn't tell we were off, so I kept talking for a while.
have Super Tuesday, which is gonna be a knockout blow for all the never Trump forces. Uh, can continue on. You just cut off there for a second. Continue on, sir. Yeah, I'm not sure. Exactly. It's funny, man. I couldn't tell. We're off.
@citizenfreekane
So I kept talking for a while. But what I was leading to is, you know, I talked about how bad the prosecutor was, how the how the Trump excuse me, how the defense attorney for Fannie was how the Trump team they had a theme. There was The arguments were so much better because they weren't being interrupted and constantly objected to.
It was a fantastic experience.
And why am I positive?
Well, you know, all these things are coming into line.
Although again, I don't know if this part came out about Jack Smith saying in Mar-a-Lago, excuse me, in Fort Pierce this morning, That they are not in violation of that DOJ 60-day rule.
So I thought that is important.
So we got to be aware, you know, this isn't completely smooth sailing.
Although I think Judge Cannon has explained that that trial is so complicated.
And there's so much that has to be done pre-trial.
So I do not believe that trial will begin before the election.
So I don't want people to get too positive, but if they go to the stack and read the purple and green headlines, you'll see how I feel.
And I think we can get to 90 to 100 million votes.
to 100 million votes.
That's the last thing I said.
I like what Scott Pressler's doing.
I like the grassroots work.
I like the new direction of the RNC.
Hopefully the RNC and Trump knows that he doesn't have to spend a lot of money on ads this fall.
Everybody knows him.
He's going to be in the news every day.
I'd like to see that money spent in grassroots effort.
It's in the seven swing states.
And as long as I'm mentioning those seven swing states, we have that bombshell poll from Bloomberg today.
Brand new.
Trump leading all seven states.
Nine points in Nevada.
Six points.
I mean, I'm doing this off memory, but six points Six points in Pennsylvania, Steve, in Pennsylvania.
Now, I'm not getting too confident.
You know, Michael, we cannot, we cannot get too, you know, we just can't, we can't get too confident, Steve.
We gotta come out, we gotta work on our neighbors.
We gotta fight like we've never fought, but victory is at hand.
That's what I'm saying.
There's a positive, there's something positive out there.
Things are turning our way, and if we all work, we can get this done.
steve bannon
Cain, how do people get to CitizenFreePress?
Today, above all days, you gotta go and check it out and see how Cain runs the stack.
Where do people go?
@citizenfreekane
CitizenFreePress.com.
It loads in half a second.
There's no ads.
Nothing graphic, excuse me, no graphic images, so it loads really, really quickly.
In other words, there's no photos.
I update headlines lately from 9 in the morning till 2 o'clock at night.
Everything new is at the top of the stack, so you can check it 25 times a day and you'll see all the new stuff at the top.
And I gotta say, Steve, you're the inspiration for all of us, man.
You're the MAGA warrior.
That speech you gave at CPAC was unlike any I'd seen.
That's why I'm still fired up, if you want to know, five days later.
And I appreciate you having me on.
And let's fight every day till November.
steve bannon
Brother, love you.
I love what you do.
You're a bigger freakazoid than we are.
Nine in the morning to two in the morning, and it's fresh all the time.
Kane, thank you so much for coming on The Warden this afternoon.
@citizenfreekane
Happy to be here with you.
steve bannon
The guys on our side of the football, Raheem over at National Pulse.
You've got Revolver, Darren Beattie.
You've got the Hoff at Gateway Pundit.
You've got the great Matt Boll at Breitbart.
You've got Kane at Citizens Free Press.
You've got Populous Press.
It's incredible.
The news available, the information available to our side is absolutely stunning.
And so many other great sites and podcasts.
Short break.
Boris Epstein on the other side Okay, I don't I don't like doing this but it's got to be done Boris is going to come on in a second here.
He's got lots of updates for us.
But Johnson, you know, Grace and Mo just got this to me in the break just 30 seconds ago.
But I've got to do this.
I've got to do it.
So Johnson sends out this tweet, uh, Laken Riley's life was tragically taken too soon.
Her memorial service being held this afternoon in her hometown of Woodstock, Georgia.
Kelly and I continue to pray for her family, friends, and the entire UGA, University of Georgia community as they reflect on Laken's life and the many lives she touched.
Okay, that's fine.
That's very good.
But dude, you had every opportunity to shut the frickin' border!
And not allow this to happen to anybody else.
Do that in her memory.
What are you talking about?
This is the kind of mealy-mouthed nonsense people hate.
We either have a crisis or you don't.
And Johnson, clearly you don't believe that.
I don't need to hear this unctuous, sanctimonious... It's disgusting.
You had every opportunity to get the people that are driving the invasion into a room and say, hey, you have no more money for anything until you shut down the border.
And that's going to ensure, at least partly ensure, that no more murderers come in here to murder other Lake and Raleigh's.
Do that in a memorial.
You're revolting.
This is the reason people hate this city, and quite frankly, this is the reason people hate wimpy, pencil-necked Republican politicians, and this is why Donald Trump came on, was a breath of fresh air, and beat the 16 people he beat back in 2016.
against Murdoch and all of them, and then defeated the Clintons, and then they tried to steal his first term.
He fought them through three great years of peace and prosperity for a bioweapon, and then when they had the summer of love and everything against him, he still won with 74 million votes and they had to steal it again, and we've had nothing but a catastrophe in this country since then.
Don't send that kind of tweet out!
Do something in her honor.
Close the fricking border and you've got the responsibility to do it.
The framers of this country, the founders of this nation, gave you the power.
Gave you the power.
And you send this unctuous thing out.
Tweet.
Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Her life cut down in the closing moments.
What do you think?
She wanted that?
Or was she pleading in her mind?
Why didn't somebody stop this?
How could this guy be murdering me right now?
You're revolting!
Your cowardice and your wimpiness is revolting!
And you wonder why Trump has ascended again after they tried to bury him and make him a non-person?
Because the whole nation, even people that don't agree with him politically, and people that don't like his style, are sitting there going, we're in a crisis and at least this guy stands in the breach.
Boris Epstein, give me your thoughts today on all of it.
boris epshteyn
Steve, first of all, an honor to be with you, an honor to be with a posse, and of course, You know, my family's condolences and love to the Lake and Riley family and I am so proud
Uh, you know, to be a small part of the MAGA movement, the MAGA posse, and of President Trump's team, and to have now, for most of 10 years, worked for a president who did secure our border, worked for a president who did save America and Americans, and who's going to do it again when he's reelected.
You heard the president speak beautifully about Lake O'Reilly, and, you know, right now, Her memorial is going on, and we're all thinking of her.
We're thinking of her family, and we're also thinking of all of the other families.
I mean, there's been hundreds and thousands of Americans whose lives and families have been destroyed by the fact that our country has no border, by the fact that our country has no security, by the fact that our country right now, Steve, for the last three-plus years, has no leadership.
We don't have a president.
We have an illegitimate, decrepit excuse for a functionary.
Who isn't doing anything?
And our country is in total disarray.
Our country is in absolute devolve because of it.
And what's their answer?
Their answer is to use the resources that they do have to attack MAGA and to attack President Trump with lawfare and weaponization.
But he's not standing for it.
He's winning all across.
And why is he winning?
He's not doing it for himself.
He's doing it to prevent other Lakers and Rileys from being murdered in cold blood.
steve bannon
Amen.
Amen.
This is why they hate him.
This is why they hate him.
Think about that.
A guy's doing that, and he gets 700 years in prison?
I want you to think about that for a second.
I want you to think about these demons, and this is what they are.
They are demons.
Demons out to destroy our country.
Talk to us today about... Talk about a demon that... It's a disgrace to have Jack Smith walking around working for the United States government.
He's a freak.
He's a total freak.
He looks like a freak.
He acts like a freak.
Tell us about... He got blown up today down in court, did he not?
boris epshteyn
See, I want to say one more thing.
Just imagine, what do you think would happen in Venezuela or Mexico if an illegal immigrant came in and murdered a beautiful young citizen?
What do you think would happen to that person?
steve bannon
We don't have a country anymore.
We have a country decline.
unidentified
And we need to bring it back.
boris epshteyn
They would take action like you should like any other nation on earth. They would take immediate action not here We don't have a country to climb and we need to bring it back and it's a little legal Steve We've this has been a powerful week a powerful week where you've seen the worst on display Which is a ridiculous decision in the hopes in New York where they refuse to lesson To pick that bond to zero which is where it should be It should be zero.
President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong.
But you also see a continuation of hope for fairness and a system of justice that operates as it should, with the Supreme Court coming down and the legal experts and scholars are all Thankful the Supreme Court has taken the question of presidential immunity.
And as President Trump said time and time and time and time again, you cannot have a presidency if you don't have presidential immunity.
And that's why you've got MSNBC freaking out, right?
You've got the lips going crazy.
It's the end of the republic.
No, this is how we saved the republic.
For 234 years, there was never a situation where a president, and plenty wanted it, from everybody from John Quincy Adams to Barack Obama to George W. Bush, and of course, Crooker Joe Biden, who's destroyed our border, destroyed our country.
There are plenty of political reasons, and there are plenty of legal reasons to potentially look at presidential action.
But there was never in our history a time where a current president or former president was criminally charged.
Why?
Because if you are allowed to go around and charge criminally or go after civilly presidents for their official actions, there can never be a presidency again.
Our country will cease to function.
It will be a disaster.
So, again, all President Trump asks for all America to ask for is fairness.
Then you had the appeals court today overturned a bunch of these charges on the J6 guys being too much.
this week with the Supreme Court, vitally taking up the question of presidential immunity for official acts and setting into regular process schedule for argument at the end of April.
steve bannon
Then you had the appeals court today overturned a bunch of these charges on the J6 guys being too much.
You've got the Supreme Court, I think a week before you do immunity, they're hearing the case in a normal process about the official, about this trumped up charge on this, which which is really two-thirds of Jack Smith's thing.
I mean, every night, I know you're too busy because you're coordinating the lawyers, Boris, but as I tell you, we curate, particularly MSNBC, because Ari Melbourne, these guys, two days afterwards, it's all they're doing.
It's like they're, what is it, sitting Shiva?
They're in mourning.
Because of this immunity thing.
No, they've got the conch shells and they're cutting their foreheads.
I've never seen anything like it.
They're obsessed.
They are obsessed.
And it shows you they know they can't beat Trump any other way.
They're obsessed, Boris, with this law.
They're obsessed particularly with this one with Jack Smith in D.C.
It is an obsession.
It is an actual dangerous obsession about how they have to do everything.
boris epshteyn
They're not even trying to make any arguments about why President Trump shouldn't be elected.
unidentified
All they're trying to do is just say, there's no more wealth.
steve bannon
If you look at the economy, none.
boris epshteyn
There's none of that.
It's just, we really need the trial.
Okay, take it easy.
Take the tinfoil hat off.
Relax.
Maybe go to synagogue or church or mosque if you have to.
steve bannon
Do what you have to do.
boris epshteyn
Just calm yourselves down.
Everything's going to be okay.
President Trump's coming back.
And if we are going to have a country again, sorry, we're going to have a country.
We're not going to ruin our schools.
We're going to rebuild our world.
We're going to be respected all across the world by our adversaries and allies.
We're going to end the wars and America is going to be America, not the pathetic excuse for a fifth world country.
steve bannon
Boris, I know you're very busy, there's so much going on that you're organizing and coordinating, but the Fonny Willis, I got to tell you, Mike Roman's lawyer, Jeff Clark's lawyer, the president's lawyer, I've never seen anything like it.
And I said, this is a humiliation for the city of Atlanta, the people in the county of Fulton County, and the state of Georgia.
You're being humiliated before the world because I've never seen a beatdown like this in my life.
It was brutal.
Your thoughts?
boris epshteyn
No question about it, Steve.
The lawyers did a great job.
And here's the key, the point that Steve Sadow, the powerhouse lawyer for President Trump and the other lawyers are making.
Here's the key.
The key is that in our country, we have to have a system of justice in which the American people put faith, in which the American people put their hopes, in which the American people put their trust.
And if we don't have it, then there's no reason to have courts.
And if you want to have these ridiculous shams and hoaxes, where people are getting paid over a million dollars, and then they're going on cruises and vacations in Napa Valley, and they're doing it all at the taxpayer's dime.
And, of course, it's not like they just, you know, went after some random person.
They went after President Trump and those in his orbit, because that's how they could make the most money for themselves.
Bonnie Willis or her lover, Nathan Wade, that's how they did it.
This was their scheme.
It's known.
And they just both tried to lie to the court.
unidentified
Oh, no.
boris epshteyn
No, we weren't really dating.
Oh, I just happened to be over there at 2 in the morning and we didn't really talk.
Well, what about the text messages?
Oh, I don't know about that.
And then they've got the poor guy up there, Bradley, who obviously knows everything.
I don't know what happened to him.
He's just, oh, I don't really recall.
When you see the text messages, he knows everything from here to Timbuktu.
The bottom line is, We need our country back.
We need President Trump back in office.
We need real leaders in the House and the Senate.
I think it's great that Katie Britt from Alabama is going to be given the The rebuttal to Crooked Joe Biden's fake State of the Union address.
When you're real leaders, you've got Lee Stefanik in the House, J.D.
Dance, others in the Senate.
We've got real power in the House and the Senate.
That is MAGA.
And it's all under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump.
And as long as that is who's leading our country, we're going to have a country.
We've got to get it back from the deranged maniacs of the left and the pathetic rhinos.
steve bannon
They are maniacs.
Boris, where do people go to keep up to date with you on all your social media?
boris epshteyn
Steve, right now, go to boriscp.com.

Stay strong.
God bless and Shabbat Shalom.
steve bannon
Boris, thank you very much.
Like I said, today on the Fonny Willis, the other part was that the cell phone information.
She had already gone and testified, and Mike Roman's lawyer, I think, put it into play.
It proved that they were perjured themselves.
This is where Carr and the Attorney General in Georgia has got to move on this.
I mean, no offense, the Republican establishment in Georgia is beclowning themselves from Kemp to Raffensperger to now Carr.
You have a humiliating situation for yourselves on your hands.
This is not the great state of Georgia.
The great state of Georgia has got some of the greatest, best patriots in this country.
And is given so much of this country.
To have this go down now, and it's so tawdry, and so ridiculous, and so stupid, and so obvious.
The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
The whole thing ought to be dropped.
It's gotta be dropped.
You can't change another lawyer.
By the way, particularly if this guy, the guy today, that was their defense, he's the deputy, and he's the guy that's gonna, like, really prosecute the case, because Wade's not really a prosecutor?
Are you kidding me?
Fonny Willis Wade and this goofball today that defended him?
That even Katie Tura said, this guy's painful to listen to.
Short break, back in the War Room in just a moment.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Times of turbulence, and this is a turbulent time.
Particularly when you can have leaders of our country, and I include there the Speaker of the House, that sees the invasion that is happening.
You know, we've had the guys down in Darien Gap and in Panama.
Mark Mech just sent me some amazing photos from California.
We won't have time to get into the shows today, but I'll show them tomorrow.
That in many languages of the world, they kind of got arrows pointed to where the invaders come through and they tell them right to go for asylum.
It's all plotted out on U.S.
soil.
When that's happening and you and you don't take action that's there before you.
You know, we have a adversary process and it's supposed to argue out and debate out and take action.
Right now, we have every tool.
The founders did not give the House of Representatives these tools not to be used.
Somebody said earlier today, back in the 70s and 80s and 90s, that these budgets were done on time.
It was only the last, really, I think, since Clinton.
And later, that's when things got really confrontational.
Even much more so than Reagan.
That's when things got confrontational, because there's a divide in this country.
And that's OK.
The country's been divided before.
People say, we've got to bring the country together.
unidentified
No.
steve bannon
You're just not going to have a group hug.
You've got to work this stuff out.
You've got to politically fight it out.
That's what we do here.
We're not going to back off.
And Trump's not going to back off.
He's going to back off.
He'd gone to Mar-a-Lago and would have never come back and gotten a $5 million, $10 million book deal.
He'd done interviews and built more golf courses and led a life of leisure that he deserved, that was well deserved.
He wouldn't have 700 years in prison.
He wouldn't have, think about it for a second.
When the energy this guy has to go everywhere, he's going to do more rallies tomorrow.
These rallies got five, 10, 15,000 people.
He's up there for an hour and a half.
People see me, I go in, um, you know, that CPAC speech, it was eight minutes long, eight and a half minutes long, eight and a half minutes.
People around know me, I'm wiped out for the rest of the night.
I went to the party and just shook a few hands and went back.
He's up there for an hour and a half.
And he's doing it two and three times a week.
Two or three times a week.
And sometimes a day, he's doing a couple rallies tomorrow.
And then the attention and just keeping your mind focused, all these different things are thrown at him legally, and the cost of it, and the attention of it.
And they know that, that's what law firms, they can't beat him any other way.
Like I said earlier in the show today, they had people from, they had been at Davos that knew the World Economic Forum in Davos, and they said, hey, everybody there, this is why Jamie Dimon was coming to act like a populist, said everybody there was absolutely 100% Trump's going to win.
That the country, that the United States is totally out of control, and they know that, and they know that the people in the United States are not going to tolerate it.
They're going to throw this illegitimate bum out.
And every day because of Biden's actions, you can see he's not nobody that actually won the presidency.
Do you think if he had legitimately won the president and defeated Donald Trump by 7 million votes, he would not be a cultural icon for the Democrats and they would worship him as they worship FDR?
Or and even Obama to a lesser extent?
Do you honestly expect me to believe that?
No.
They threw him under the bus because they know they select and they put him in there.
He didn't earn that.
If he had earned that, they'd have a whole different respect.
People around the world, the leaders around the world would say, man, this guy's unbelievable.
He came out of nowhere and beat, and really with the COVID and everything and not really going campaign trail, the American people really support him.
No, the whole thing faded.
This is why his numbers are so low.
And with independents, he did not get those votes.
No way.
It was totally and completely gun deck.
Yes.
Yes.
He lost.
Trump won, and they stole it, and they know they stole it.
And that's why they're so outraged that you would think of running for a second term and say, dude, we stole it for you once.
It's not—you're Joe Biden.
We know your limitations.
You can't actually win.
You didn't even—you never—you had failure to launch in two—the two times you ran for president before, failure to launch.
You were selected as the milk toast.
We couldn't have Bernie.
You couldn't have Hillary.
You couldn't have Bloomberg.
You couldn't have Amy Klobuchar.
You couldn't have Focahanas.
You couldn't have any of that.
You had to have him.
And what they've done to this country?
And this is my frustration with Johnson.
I understand it's difficult.
I understand people are going to, you know, the media is going to pile on you.
But isn't this what being a Christian's about?
You talk about a biblical worldview, did you ever read the Old Testament or the New Testament, brother?
And see the struggle?
The whole thing's struggle.
You gave the prayers there, and yes, your prayers are needed, fine.
But you need action.
God works through people as human.
They're agency.
You have agency.
You talk about being raised up and people are selected.
You've been selected.
You've been raised up.
Use your agency.
More murderers are coming through today through that border.
More.
More young men and women are going to be murdered.
More people are going to be raped.
More crimes are going to be committed because of what's happening today, and tomorrow, and the next day, all the way to the 22nd.
When you're going to approve a budget and we're not going to shut down the border.
And now you all think, well, it's about the supplemental to Ukraine.
No, no, no, no, no it's not.
It's about the thing itself.
You either believe it or you don't believe it.
If you believe it, then you have to act.
You're compelled to act.
You have a responsibility to act, not to send a tweet with thoughts and prayers.
We don't need your thoughts, and God, yes, maybe your prayers on the margin add something, too.
But is that not, quite frankly, to make you look better?
Didn't Jesus, didn't Christ say, The person that didn't sit there and talk about all the prayers they're doing?
So look, if you're going to pray for her, do you need to say that?
Do you need to?
In her dying moments, what would she have asked for?
Your prayers after she's dead?
or that you had taken action before so her murderer was not killing her and snuffing her life out at 22 years old God works through agency You've been raised up to act and you are not acting.
You are rolling over to these demons up here in this imperial capital.
You're in that room with Schumer and with Hakeem Jeffries and of course McConnell and Biden and you rolled over because, wait for it, you're a gutless coward.
And I hate to be so brutally frank on a Friday afternoon, but your tweet compelled me to use my agency.
Okay.
unidentified
We got a packed hour ahead of us.
steve bannon
I don't think I need any more Warpath coffee.
Would you agree with that?
Think we have consensus on that?
I'm good for the Warpath for now?
Short break.
Back for the second hour.
