You just put your finger on the entire enchilada, though, to make me...
The reluctance to examine crimes.
Maybe it was so disorienting to watch crimes committed before our very eyes, and to watch the criminal carry out those crimes on TV, and then to watch him tweet at the criminals, we love you, quote end quote, that it made people stop.
But I guess, Tim, what I am trying to get at is an honest conversation for our viewers for the next eight months.
There will most likely be zero legal accountability for Donald Trump.
And he's banking on that being a winning political strategy.
Now the only people who have any agency in this conversation at this point are the voters.
And what Fannie Willis went through, she's been doxed, her kids have been doxed, her ex-husband has been doxed, and her personal information is housed under Russia.
There's no glory in actually trying to hold Trump accountable.
But all they did was try to treat Trump the way any of us would have been treated if we did a fraction of what he did.
And it didn't work.
And I just don't think it's healthy anymore as a host of this program, and I'll speak humbly just for my own hours, to talk as though legal accountability is on the table.
It probably isn't.
And I wonder what that sounds like, and what will people who have spent their life and their careers as prosecutors, what will they say about a specimen like Donald Trump, who won, who did it, who got out of accountability, who got his get-out-of-jail-free card, and he didn't even need a pocket pardon to do it.
What do we do about that as sort of a voting public?
What does that conversation sound like?
unidentified
Yeah, really good and hard question.
I don't know.
Maybe, even though the case has not been tried, the allegations are such that they will influence people in terms of their decision as to who to vote for.
I think they should.
I think they say a lot about the character of the person who is offering to serve once again, and my hope is that most Americans Who understand those facts which have been told and told and told again, that will influence them.
So there's one jury, it's the American people.
And all that Fonny Willis and Jack Smith can do is use the levers at their disposal to try to hasten this.
The former president's using the levers at his disposal to try to delay it, and that may not result in an adjudication prior to the election of any of these cases.
I still think there's a chance that I don't know.
It depends on the Supreme Court.
But your point, Nicole, is a good one.
It feeds right into this narrative that the former president is saying that the system is broken or the system is corrupt or the system doesn't work.
It's generating more cynicism.
It almost sort of feeds that beast.
That people don't have faith because things take so long.
It is an example of how when our system doesn't work or doesn't seem to work, that increases cynicism and that is precisely the argument that he's making as a political argument as to why he as the change agent should be back in there.
So I think the last question is the key.
What to do now?
I think that there's no question that there's no prejudice to the defendants.
The judge goes out of his way to say this is nothing to do.
And that's your point, Joe, which is this has nothing to do with it.
And that's what makes this so Absolutely infuriating, because the judge, I think, is clearly saying, I'm not buying for one minute, or as I would say, one New York minute, the testimony that was given.
If she were having a relationship with a witness in the case, if she were having a relationship with the defense counsel on a case,
Those are things that would actually deal with the evidence and the judge goes out of his way to say there's nothing about even if there were some financial gain to her the idea that she's prolonging this case and the judge goes out of his way to say prolonging the the state has been trying to get to trial there's so he goes out of his way to say the defendants are not prejudiced in one
Just one iota about this, but I think the key here is how to go forward, because clearly Wade is off, but I think that this is such a huge body blow, almost a fatal blow to Fannie Willis.
I think the way forward is she has to voluntarily recuse herself.
I don't know that she has it in her, but I think she has to say, I'm going to appoint A chief assistant who's going to oversee this case.
She clearly has no credibility with this judge and these issues are going to be taken up.
The judge invites these issues to be taken up by all sorts of other Georgia regulators, including the Georgia Assembly, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, the State Ethics Commission.
I mean, he lists that.
So I think the best thing, if your first interest is the sanctity of this case, which I agree with you, Joy, this is the most important case in Georgia, and of the four Trump cases, this may be the most important because it's one that will last regardless of whether Donald Trump wins the presidency or not.
If your first interest is this case, I think she needs to remove herself voluntarily and just say someone else is going to oversee this case in Georgia so that whatever happens to her in terms of ethics it doesn't taint this case.
steve bannon
Okay, thank you.
We had a slight technical problem.
Thank Denver for, those guys have been there for a couple days because of the snowstorm.
Working it out for our Ides of March special next hour.
We're going to get into it all.
Mike Davis joins me.
Mike, Weissman right there, the lead Trump hater, admits this is the most important case of all.
I know on Twitter this morning you were not completely happy with what happened.
Walk us through what's transpired today and where we are.
mike davis
Well, what we have here is we have this judge who has ruled that despite the fact that Fannie Willis illegally hired her secret boyfriend, paid him $250 an hour to prosecute this case, to collude with the Biden White House, including the Biden White House counsel, to prosecute this case, even billed 24 hours in one day, which is just a head-scratcher.
$700,000 and counting.
Then she took illegal kickbacks in the form of lavish trips to Belize, to the Caribbean, to Napa.
Big Fanny Head was living the big life.
And so she has illegal kickbacks.
She has a financial stake in this case, but this judge
gave credibility to her testimony that she said that her Black Panther father taught her to set aside six months of cash and leave it around the house like a prostitute or a drug dealer apparently and she paid for these trips out of cash she had laying around the house which is just totally nonsense but the judge gave that some credibility and decided that he's not going to disqualify Fannie Willis on this case that she gets to decide whether
Her and her office are off the case, or her boyfriend Nathan Wade gets off the case.
And so Nathan Wade just resigned this afternoon.
I agree with these Democrats, like Andrew Weissman, that this is a major setback for this case against President Trump.
And it's very damaging for Trump.
This judge should have disqualified Fannie Willis.
This judge should have dismissed this case without prejudice for a new prosecutor to continue this case.
But Fannie Willis, as you always say, Steve, she may have won a Pyrrhic victory here because she may be able to stay on this case, but she has such She has such damaged goods.
If you're looking at the four different vehicles that the Democrats are driving, racing to Election Day, this Fannie Willis is a very badly wrecked used car.
steve bannon
Another blockbuster, just as we were speaking, CNN's reporting Judge Mershon in New York City has delayed the Trump trial and hasn't given a date.
The prosecutors agreed to 30 days.
I'll get to that in a second.
Can they go for a mistrial in Georgia?
I mean, where do we stand with this thing?
It sounds bizarre.
The judge comes back.
Is Chris Cargie involved in this?
I mean, Weissman was saying she had to step down because the judge opened up and kind of pushed that either the legislature with that new committee or Carr or Kemp or somebody's going to get involved here on either criminal charges against Fannie Willis.
The thing looks like a total fiasco now, what this judge kind of came back and said.
So where are we overall on this?
mike davis
So the law and facts are very clear that this judge should have disqualified Fannie Willis in her office at a bare minimum.
And I think he should have dismissed the case without prejudice.
I think he caved to the political pressure.
He's facing a Democrat opponent now that the Democrats put up while he was deciding this matter.
But the effect of all this is it is very unlikely that this Fulton County case, this trial, will begin before the election.
And so there's almost no chance this trial will conclude before the election.
So this Democrat law fair You know, the two bogus impeachments, these four bogus criminal indictments, the civil fraud lawsuit, the Gene Carroll lawsuit, the illegal gag orders, the disqualification, this Democrat lawfare is falling apart on the Democrats.
Their election Hope was that they were going to beat President Trump in these Democrat courtrooms with these Democrat judges and Democrat prosecutors and Democrat lawyers and, you know, these Democrat hellholes like New York, D.C.
and Atlanta.
That is likely not going to happen now.
So the Democrats are going to do what they fear the most.
They're going to have to go to the American people and let the American people decide the presidential election on November 5th, 2024.
steve bannon
Is there any chance, if she has to get a new prosecutor, this trial has to be kicked past election day, or am I mistaken on that?
The one in Georgia?
mike davis
Well, she could just elevate someone within her office to run this now that Nathan Wade has stepped aside.
I think it's going to be very hard for them to get this case to trial before election day, because remember, there's still the issue of presidential immunity.
In this case in Georgia that this Kemp judge needs to decide.
He needs to decide many other key motions, dispositive motions, before the trial begins.
They haven't produced all the evidence.
They still have like, it started with 19 co-defendants, Trump and 18 others.
I think they're down to like 14 or 15 Co-defendants, this is just such an unwieldy case.
And it's obviously there was a profit motive in this case that you bring a RICO case against your political opponents that you used to take out the mob, you used to take out your political opponents, and they just brought too big and messy of a case here.
And as opposed to Jack Smith's January 6th case in D.C., that was a kill shot.
That was just shooting Trump and no one else.
This Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade case, they just, they bit off a lot more than they can chew and for Fannie Willis, that says a lot.
steve bannon
Andrew Weissman and these guys, he said something today differently than they've ever said before on MSNBC at night.
He said, because he was in Meltdown, that this case in Georgia he thinks is by far the most important case they have.
They've always pushed Jack Smith's insurrection of Trump in D.C.
Do you agree with Weissman?
Is that, from their perspective, the most important one they've got?
mike davis
Well, it's the most important in this sense, and I think Andrew Weissman said this.
Look, they're making it very clear this is about election interference.
They're coming right out and saying that the American people need to know these trial results, or at least this trial evidence, before they vote, and that's just nonsense.
But Andrew Weissman said that these federal cases can all go away when President Trump is back in the White House and his acting Attorney General dismisses these cases with prejudice and ends this lawfare on the federal level.
On the state level, it's going to be very difficult for Trump to make a Georgia conviction go away.
He can't pardon himself in Georgia, and there's a law in Georgia that you generally have to wait five years for the governor to pardon.
So the Georgia case is more problematic for Trump than the federal cases in the sense that he just can't make them go away.
Look, as we've talked about for almost two years, these are all bogus cases.
This is lawfare.
These are non-crimes.
It's not a crime to object to a presidential election.
We've talked about that repeatedly.
It's allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
It's allowed by the First Amendment.
Democrats aren't in prison for objecting in 68, 2000, 2004 and 2016.
This is bogus lawfare, but If the Democrats can get this Fulton County DA, Fannie Willis, to get this overwhelmingly Democrat jury down in Georgia to find Trump guilty, then it's going to cause a lot of legal and political problems for Trump.
steve bannon
Okay, I see.
From their perspective, that's why they're putting so much stock in it.
It's all bogus, but this is their most important bogus of all.
Mike, Article 3, where do people go?
Your commentary on Twitter and Getter, where do people get your commentary?

My personal is MRDDMIA.
MRDDMIA.
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Thank you very much, Mike.
Great job.
Thank you for doing this.
I think Marchant now, they're saying that he may schedule a date to hear the argument about when the trials should be started.
We'll get to that more about that later.
Let's go.
So, Kurt Olson, the lawyer representing the Fincham-Carrie Lake issue that they filed to the Supreme Court, it hasn't been docketed.
That's why Kurt hasn't been on or Mike Lindell talking about it.
But one of the defendants leaked the entire copy.
Well, two reasons.
of the filing. So I guess we can talk about it. Kurt Olson joins us now. Kurt, why are we going back to these things that never really got traction? The audience wants to know, hey, you know, this all sounds great, but wasn't this all put to bed by both a federal district court judge, a trial court judge, an appeals court?
You guys have spent years in this, never got any traction. Why are you bothering the Supreme Court now? Why has poor Judge Roberts, I guess, got to deal with this?
unidentified
Well, two reasons. I mean, we think that the lower courts were wrong in their decisions, But perhaps more importantly, we have new evidence that supports standing.
This case was dismissed by the lower court saying that the claims about the machines were too speculative.
And we have concrete evidence that's new, that was not known before, where the defendants told the courts That, hey, these machines are certified by the Election Assistance Commission.
Their software is certified.
We perform logic and accuracy tests and other matters.
But those two issues, they represent to the court that this is why the machines are safe and why the plaintiffs' Kerry Lakes and Mark Fincham's claims didn't hold water.
We've uncovered three pieces of evidence.
One, in 2020 and in 2022, they used altered software And any statement that that software is certified by the EAC is false.
They falsely stated that to the court.
They falsely stated that to the Arizona Senate during that audit in 21.
And they falsely stated on their website.
Second thing that was false.
They say they perform logic and accuracy testing and that's a pre-election test designed to give people confidence that the machines will actually tabulate and read votes as they are.
They did not.
They did not perform logic and accuracy tests on any of the vote center tabulators they used in either the 2020 or the 2022 election.
They used five spares.
If you combine that with the fact that they're using altered software and it's important to note the altered software was with respect to a configuration file called the machine behavior settings and that goes directly to how ballots are read and tabulated.
And then there is a third piece of evidence that is perhaps, I think, the most shocking, because it doesn't apply just to Maricopa.
Our cyber experts, our team, has uncovered that the master cryptographic encryption keys that are used to govern and encrypt all election data, the files, the software, have been left open on the database in plain text.
And what that means, if you remember the Enigma machine in World War II, When the great find was they were able to decrypt that cipher code and then read the Germans' messages.
Well, this is even easier because now any malicious actor, any insider, anyone who knows to get into the machine, which is very easy to do because it's just Windows login, you can bypass that within three minutes, can control an entire election, can cover their tracks so it's nearly undetectable, can intercept any election results that are transmitted,
Because they have the private key that allows them to decrypt that information, change the results, re-encrypt that information because it's essentially a god key.
This is the most basic security violation that one can have.
If you talk to any cybersecurity professional to leave the master cryptographic keys in plain text available to anybody who knows where to look, That is it's a violation of the most basic security standards.
But more importantly, it allows a malicious actor to control the entire election and do anything they want and escape detection.
steve bannon
How did this actually happen?
How did you, how did they actually keep it in plain sight and nobody caught this?
How did none of the investigators, even the Maricopa County guys, how did Murdoch's lawyers at, because correct me if I'm wrong, this would have gotten Murdoch off of $800 million fine, would it have not?
unidentified
This is, it certainly would have thrown a big monkey wrench into that settlement.
Because again, you can control an entire, any malicious actor can control an entire election.
This was found because election databases in four Georgia counties were produced pursuant to public records requests.
And so our team started going through that.
And one of those individuals came, stumbled upon these cryptographic keys.
They're called a Ryndell key, an X-509 security certificate, and an HMAC key.
And with this, you can control an entire election start to finish.
You can put your own results, you can change the configuration files, you can change what the tabulators do, you can intercept communications, you can put your own results on and then place them on the server and put a fake election if you wanted to, re-encrypt that, and it would be almost impossible to detect.
And we have seen this on every system that we've been able to inspect across the country, whether it's Maricopa, Georgia, Michigan and Antrim County, Pennsylvania, Fulton County, Pennsylvania.
And what's what is even just as stunning is that Dominion, these are all on Dominion machines and they represent in their contract that they protect election data.
With AES level 256-bit encryption, which is the standard.
AES stands for the Advanced Encryption Standard.
So they represent in their contract that they protect this data with this encryption, yet the keys are left open and unprotected on the election database.
For anybody who knows where to look that can gain access to the system, which is any insider, And anybody can bypass the Windows login.
You can go on YouTube and find the necessary tools to bypass Windows login, and certainly a nation-state actor would have no problem.
And so this is one of the most incredible security breaches I think any cybersecurity professional would agree.
And it's everywhere.
steve bannon
The first two things you say are new evidence.
Even in the blog, the people at Maricopa County and others are saying you don't really have any new evidence.
What's your counter to that?
unidentified
What they're trying to do is to get ahead of the narrative.
This is totally new evidence.
It's never been before any court that they are using altered software and that their software that they told the court ...was certified by the EAC, in fact, is altered software.
That's a false statement to the court.
Same thing with logic inaccuracy.
They told the federal district court who dismissed this case that we do logic inaccuracy testing in compliance with Arizona law, so therefore the machines are safe and there's nothing to see here.
That was a false statement.
So both those two pieces are absolutely new evidence.
And the master cryptographic key disclosure is also brand new evidence that has never been introduced in any court.
steve bannon
So this right now is being, going on the docket the official way that, and I want the audience to know, that doesn't mean they're going to hear it, that doesn't mean they're going to accept it.
It's just a technical process so they can put it out.
Although, we're pushing out right now because the defendants put it out a couple hours ago.
What is the process now if the Supreme Court even picks this up?
What has to happen?
Is it a judgment of one justice?
Does it have to go before the entire panel?
Tell us what goes on to see if this actually gets real and you get a chance to present this evidence and argue it in the Supreme Court.
unidentified
Well, first of all, we will be filing a motion for expedited consideration, and we are going to attach the evidence that underpins the new allegations in this petition for redissociation.
And it will go into the petition for writ and the motion.
The defendants will have an opportunity to respond to that motion for expedited consideration.
But at the end of the day, the Supreme Court will decide whether they want to take it up.
And then from there, they may order briefing.
They may order a ruling straight from the papers based on the information that we're going to be putting out next week.
So it really depends.
There's a number of ways.
steve bannon
Are you waiting until it goes on docket officially to then file the expedited petition?
Is that going to be after it goes on docket?
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
So that'll be sometime next week, you think?
Okay, perfect.
What else should we know about this?
We can go find it.
I see it right now.
Grace and Mo and Carly Bonet, if you guys can push it out, it's all there for you to read.
What else should we know about this before we punch?
unidentified
I think that the people should focus on the description of the new evidence that's in the complaint.
It is stunning evidence.
The fact that Maricopa used altered software in an election twice.
And here's the rub.
We brought this case before the 2022 midterm.
The judge dismissed the case saying it was too speculative in August.
We have the 2022 midterm and over 60% of the machines fail.
These machines were rejecting ballots at a rate of 7,000 rejections every 30 minutes from 6.30 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
And Maricopa County officials called it a hiccup in court.
And so that was an absolute disaster.
And since then, we found evidence of malware Kurt, do you have social media?
We got a punch, but do you have social media people can follow you?
so that the tabulators had rejected ballots at the same...
Anyway, the bottom line is, look at the evidence.
It's new.
Don't believe anything when they say it is yesterday's news.
That is completely false.
steve bannon
Kurt, do you have social media?
We got a punch, but do you have social media people can follow you?
unidentified
I'm on Truth Social.
steve bannon
True social.
Okay.
Kurt, we'll look at this closely and make sure that we push out all the information so people can look at it over the weekend.
We'll talk about this again tomorrow morning on our Saturday show.
Thank you so much.
Your warrior.
Big fight.
Tough fight.
Long fight.

Okay, Liz Harrington had worked at the RNC and joined us, joined the War Room family as our executive editor back in November, I think, right after the 2020 election.
She joined us, I think, in mid-November.
I want to give Rahim a hat tip.
Rahim introduced us.
She came on board as our executive editor.
She preceded Natalie Winters, now executive editor today.
Liz then left to join President Trump in this beginning of his campaign in June of 2021, and I don't want to say there's a direct correlation between Liz Harrington joining and also Jason Miller joining, our co-host originally on War Room Impeachment, but the facts are the facts.
It was the greatest comeback in American political history.
Liz Harrington just stepped down the other day because of family obligations, but we are honored To be able to announce today, Liz Harrington is joining The War Room as our senior contributor for all things MAGA.
The MAGA movement, President Trump, the Trump movement, all of it.
Liz Harrington now joins us.
Liz, welcome aboard, ma'am.
unidentified
Steve, great to be with you again.
Truly an honor.
It's funny because sometimes when you don't know what to do next, you got to go back to the beginning.
And the beginning for me and I think so many of your listeners and viewers and for so many Americans of this reawakening of American politics and everything that's going on in America was November 3rd, 2020.
It changed forever how I saw the landscape of what is going on in our country.
I could never see it again after they stole the election in such plain sight.
And it's funny because when I got, you know, pushed out at the RNC, I remember telling my soon to be husband, you know, I don't know who I'm going to be able to work for, how I'm going to get a job.
But I have to say the election was stolen.
And there's really only a couple people that I'd be able to work for.
And who would have thought?
I would have the honor to work for not only you, but President Donald J. Trump, who is the other person who says it loud and clear that November 2020 was rigged and stolen.
And so it's an honor to be back with you.
Another thing I realized recently was we're not going to change anything nationally if we don't have our families right.
If we don't have our local communities, but really our families, what you're really responsible for.
So since I started working for President Trump, God has blessed me with two beautiful babies.
They're very young still, and it just kind of hit me recently.
I need to, my first fight, I have a voice in this fight, absolutely.
But my first fight is to make sure that they have everything they need, that they're being brought up in the way that they should go, in God's ways.
And it just, I just had to resign and leave the campaign because 24-7 motherhood is not quite compatible with 24-7 campaign at this season.
And that's okay.
I love president Trump.
I love what he's doing.
He's the greatest president in our history.
And it's truly been an honor to work for him, but I've been so blessed all the people reaching out and offering me opportunities.
Just in the last couple weeks and you reached out to me and I think it's a great opportunity to rejoin you, go back to the beginning, go back to where this reawakening started for so many of us and continue this fight.
But really focusing on getting our priorities straight because that's the key to changing this country.
We can change this country, but we really need To listen to what God says and make sure that we're getting on His page first before we can fix anything else.
steve bannon
Now, this is, and if you look at your journey, this is what's so interesting.
I remember Rahim had said, hey, you know, Liz Haring, the comms director at RNC is stepping down because, you know, she understands and knows that the election was stolen and they just don't believe that over there in that building.
And we had known that for a long time in the run-up.
They weren't helpful when we were laying out the The election integrity, the transition integrity project of Mark Elias.
Bill McGinley, Raheem Kassan and I went throughout the country even in that plague year, that summer, to make the pitch and the RNC just wasn't very helpful.
So then when you left, I remember meeting you and we made an offer to you immediately.
And it's interesting now, the RNC is finally, a couple of years later, they're finally, we finally stepped up to the, everybody stepped up to the plate and said, this has got to stop.
We can't do that again.
And Liz, you've just done such an amazing job and you're a hundred percent correct.
One of the things we try to do is cover President Trump.
In two different ways.
One is the whole movement, the grassroots movement, the people that are going to the ramparts every day to support President Trump, believe in President Trump, and understand what President Trump is offering this country in this turnaround is something even bigger than himself.
And he's the first to admit that.
The others, obviously, we're going to cover the Trump campaign.
Very, very closely, but we're so honored to have you here, and I understand you've got some things to do.
Really, at the beginning of April, we're going to pick up full-time because you've got some things you're working on that you've got to clear up, and then we'll get back here, and we'll be hitting it every day, every other day, and couldn't look forward to having somebody better.
You were so great when you were here the first time, and as I told the team when they were putting it together, you can't do better than Liz Harrington.
She's a fighter.
She's a warrior, and she won't back down, and like I said, you're one of the first people to really come to this This realization that, hey, it's just not working, right?
There's certain institutions that are just not pulling in the same direction with MAGA and the Trump movement and President Trump.
And so hopefully we're starting to get all that sorted out now and everybody will converge on one spot on November 5th.
We've got to push this over the goal line and make sure we win.
We've got to increase the House, take back the Senate.
Obviously win the presidency.
So thank you so much for joining us.
Look forward to a lot of not just great times, but a lot of great work ahead.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Thanks so much, Steve.
And thanks to all your listeners and viewers.
Everywhere I've gone since I worked for President Trump, the only people that ever recognized me are people who watch your show, which is such a blessing, honestly, because I don't want people to recognize me.
But I love when people Sincerely watch your show because there's so much truth there and they recognize it when they hear it.
And that means so much.
And look, it's going to be great.
I think this is a new beginning.
Things happening at the RNC.
I'm so encouraged to hear that.
All these different things.
It's going to be great and best is yet to come.
steve bannon
Liz, welcome aboard.
So great to see you.
I look forward to having you back here shortly after you take care of your other stuff and start pitching in full time.
Thank you, ma'am.
unidentified
Absolutely.
steve bannon
Liz Harrington, back at the War Room.
Scott Besant joins us.
Scott, we don't have time.
I want to get you back on.
We can walk through this budget that Biden put out, the fiasco there with the deficits, but we've had a big legal day today and I want to continue on with something you've got up in the Wall Street Journal because I don't think people really understand how serious this is.
Walk us through this op-ed that you've got up in the journal.
unidentified
Sure.
So, Steve, thanks for having me on.
My piece in the journal today discusses the sentencing of Sam Bankman Freed.
As your listeners and viewers will recall, he was the head of the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, and it turned out that he had pilfered billions, if not tens of billions of dollars from his investors, from his account holders, and he was found guilty By a court in New York last fall, and his sentencing is on Monday.
And in my editorial, I put forward that he should get the maximum sentence.
The probation department has asked for 40 years.
The prosecutors have asked for 40 to 50.
And look, I think that this is a case of a high-status individual who He and his parents were completely performative.
They brought in investors using... Both of his parents were and are Stanford Law professors.
He operated with his air of respectability.
In the meantime, he was no better than a common criminal.
And I think it is very important that Americans see that the legal system works every way It works the same way for everyone, no matter your education level, your income level, or your family background.
steve bannon
But Scott, hang on.
Why are you picking on this guy?
Because he's doing it for this thing called altruism, or they got some phrase that all these billionaires on Silicon Valley, that they're really, they got to make as much billions now because they're going to give it all to climate change and a charity.
Therefore, since he had a higher calling than the Schmendricks in the MAGA movement, that he should just be let go.
Essentially, they're arguing his altruism, his high intention of what he was going to do with the money, the proceeds, should get him off the hook.
Your response to that?
unidentified
Yeah, well, that's as the character on MASH used to say, the colonel on MASH used to say, complete horse hockey, Steve.
They said that it was effective altruism, that there was a higher calling.
His lawyers have argued that he should get a greatly reduced sentence or maybe even no sentence, bringing in, you know, he's autistic, he has this higher calling, he's a vegan.
And look, it wasn't effective altruism, it was effective avarice.
Just avarice, greed, pure and simple.
He stole the money like a common criminal.
And, you know, it's amazing to me how these high status affected the altruists.
And I'm not putting everybody, you know, all of them into this bucket, but the Bankman Freed family, they went from kind of Chianti and pasta and Sunday night intellectual suppers You're trying to decide what kind of corporate jet they wanted.
They had hundreds of millions of dollars worth of properties in their names in the Bahamas.
So, you know, they converted very quickly from altruism to avarice.
And somehow his lawyers are trying to get us to have willful blindness in his sentencing.
And I think these prosecutors in the Southern District have done a fantastic job.
They ran a great trial, a jury of 12 Average Americans understood a very complex case, and they knew that no matter what his motive was, that he's just a common criminal.
steve bannon
Scott, it's up in the Wall Street Journal.
We'll get you back next week to talk about Biden's $7.3 trillion, $1.8 trillion deficit, $7.3 trillion spending to break it all down.
But in the interim, where do people go for your social media to get all your additional writings?
unidentified
Steve, they just have to watch your show and I'll come back really early.
steve bannon
Okay, good enough.
Scott Besson, thank you so much.
Up on the Wall Street Journal today, the government asked for, I think the probation asked for 40, government asked for 40 to 50, but there's a huge wave of celebrities and entrepreneurs are saying he should just walk because effective altruism, his higher calling, made it all right.
It should not be lost on people, too.
That he gave a ton of money to the Democratic Party and to the most progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
So that'll all be on Monday.
We'll be covering that closely.
I want to thank Scott Besant for the piece in the Wall Street Journal and jumping on here.

Kurt's done a great job.
It turns out, Mike, you play by the rules.
You filed, you know, Kurt Olsen filed for Kerry Lake and Fincham.
You play by the rules.
You're going to wait for his document.
A big argument.
Should we do it or not?
Say, look, we'll play by the rules.
Of course, the defendants that got delivered by Kurt, they put it up right away and went to a blogger to say there's nothing there.
There's no new evidence.
Kurt set that straight.

We'll make sure we break that all down for you at the top of the hour.
Chris Hoare, satellite phone store.
Chris, we've had Joe Reek on today.
We've had some of our sponsors.
These cyber attacks are getting out of control, and a lot of reasons you haven't even heard about most of them is we now know from UnitedHealth, a lot of the companies are paying the bribes.
They get blackmailed.
They pay it.
They don't want anything out there in the public because they don't want their stock to get hit, but the customers are knowing this.
What do you got for us to make sure that we can get away from cyber attacks?
unidentified
Well, Steve, what we've got today is a package we put together especially for the War on Posse and for these kind of attacks and to protect you and your privacy and your data.
We've got a cell phone that gives you unlimited talk, text and data, that is secure, that uses a VPN to protect your privacy, that doesn't track anything that you do online or doesn't track your calls or your texts.
And that comes with a bivy stick, which means that should cellular service be down, you will always be able to send or receive text messages anywhere on Earth, no matter what's going on on the ground.
And on top of that, Steve, we've got a large Faraday bag that you can throw both these devices in to make sure that you're not being tracked, period, by nobody, no matter what.
And this is a $799 value, and today it's free with activation at just $99 a month.
And actually that gives you unlimited call text and data, whether it's through the satellite, or you can send and receive text messages through the BB stick, or through your cell phone.
And it comes with both devices included. So you've got a secure cell phone and a BB stick to make sure that you're always connected should the cell towers be down at all.
And that's at sat123.com, or you can call 941-955-1020.
That's 941-955-1020.
And see, this is a limited time deal.
We've only got, I think, a hundred of these left, so check them out at sat123.
But this is what is going to help you stay up and running no matter what's going on, and it's going to protect you and your data, and you're not going to be tracked.
steve bannon
Shouldn't be lost on folks today, we've had a little time with the streaming signal and even getting our guests on.
One thing before you go, you agree, we've only got 30 seconds, you agree there are a lot more of these cyber attacks taking place, but the companies don't want to admit it because they are paying the blackmail to get their systems back up and they don't want Wall Street or the customers to know that.
You agree with that, Chris?
unidentified
Oh, a hundred percent, Steve.
Look, it's like the Las Vegas casinos never admit to being robbed, but it does happen.
It just doesn't look good.
And so these companies are paying these ransoms in Bitcoin, usually, or some kind of crypto, and then making up excuses as to what happened.
But what it's covering up is a very big and growing problem that we're having across the country.
So protecting your privacy and your data and your comms is absolutely essential now more than ever.
steve bannon
Chris Hoare, one more time, the phone number people can call.
