| Let's start with the Texas situation, which is extremely procedurally complicated. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just to throw that out there in terms of what the status of the law is. | |
| Talk us through what the court did today. | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Look, it is and it isn't. | ||
| What the court did was say, we're going to let Texas have its way even as we figure out whether their law is constitutional. | ||
| And as you say, Chris, it is flatly against the Supreme Court ruling, the Arizona case. | ||
| Nevertheless, the procedural nicety you're talking about is two justices said, well, this is an administrative stay, which means basically a stay to consider whether to grant a stay that the Fifth Circuit entered without any kind of reasoning, and we don't ever normally review those. | ||
| That's questionable whether they don't normally review, but the bigger answer is So what? | ||
| This is the Supreme Court of the United States. | ||
| They've left the situation on the ground that Texas can violate current constitutional law. | ||
| And that means possible chaos in the field between federal and state agents. | ||
| It means possible abrogation of immigrants' rights. | ||
| It means possible interference with our foreign relations with Mexico. | ||
| And it means the suspension of the supremacy of federal law. | ||
| What are they there for if not that? | ||
| And it doesn't matter if it's for a day or a week. | ||
| This is what Justice Kagan essentially was saying. | ||
| Administrative stay, who cares? | ||
| If they have made it the state of affairs that federal law, binding federal law, is set to the side, that's the exact opposite of what a Supreme Court is supposed to do. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|

|
Bye! | |
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||

|
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. Bamm. | |
| Wednesday, 20 March, Year of Our Lord 2024. | ||
| We had a magnificent cold open set for you and Liz Harrington to come on and she wrote a prayer for Peter Navarro. | ||
| We're going to get to that in a minute, but complete total confusion in the federal court system. | ||
| And we asked and we're honored to have Attorney General Ken Paxson from Texas. | ||
| So, uh, General Paxton, we had Todd Benzman on yesterday's morning, spent a whole half hour, I guess, on the first day. | ||
| Then the Supreme Court puts this decision out in the afternoon. | ||
| They're melting down on MSNBC, as you saw. | ||
| Then later last night, another reversal by another appellate court. | ||
| I am now totally and completely cornfused about this. | ||
| Can you please explain to her, the vast war in Posse, what the hell is going on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, believe me, it is pretty confusing. | |
| So we originally, this law was passed and it went into effect March 4th. | ||
| Before that happened, Judge Ezra, a district court judge, where the Biden administration sued us to stop SB4 from going into effect, which allows us to deport people that come here illegally, because the federal government clearly is not doing that, he put a stay on. | ||
| Then we appealed it to the Fifth Circuit. | ||
| The three-judge panel there took the stay off. | ||
| It was called an administrative Stay. | ||
| So there was still sort of a stay on waiting for the Supreme Court to rule. | ||
| The Supreme Court then said, no, we're not going to keep the stay. | ||
| So they took the stay off. | ||
| It goes back down to the Fifth Circuit, a different three-judge panel. | ||
| Priscilla Owen and a more liberal judge took the stay back off and then asked us to argue the case this morning at 10 a.m. | ||
| So it's going to happen in an hour. | ||
| We'll be arguing that case with less than, I think, 12 hours notice that we're arguing about the stay, and I'm not quite sure exactly where we're at on that, because they took it off, and I'm not sure why we're arguing about it, but here we are. | ||
| We're going to be arguing about it in an hour. | ||
| So where does that put us? | ||
| Let's say you argue today and they take the stay off. | ||
| Where does that put you? | ||
| Where actually are we in the implementation of this law on a permanent basis? | ||
| Does that take away all the different aspects of it, or you're still in a court fight with Merrick Garland, the Justice Department? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're still in a court fight, but if they remove the stay, then we can The law can go into effect. | |
| It can be enforced. | ||
| If they put the stay on while we have the trial on the merits, then the law is not actually in effect. | ||
| It's been stayed, and we have to go fight about whether the law is constitutional or unconstitutional. | ||
| You heard your MSNBC guy there saying it was unconstitutional. | ||
| I couldn't agree with him less. | ||
| I totally disagree with what he said about it being a complete violation of U.S. | ||
| v. Arizona. | ||
| It is not. | ||
| In every state in this country, none of them would have joined the Union. | ||
| If they were subject to being invaded and they were told, well, because the federal government's not going to do anything. | ||
| As a matter of fact, we're going to help the other side. | ||
| You can't do anything about it. | ||
| There's no way any of us would have joined the union. | ||
| Let's go through that again. | ||
| Just make the case. | ||
| Why is what you're doing, which seems very practical to people, why is it constitutional? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I believe that it's constitutional because the founding of our country, there's no way that Texas would have come into the union. | |
| If they were told by the federal government, look, we have these laws, we're going to protect you, but if we don't, and we decide we're not going to protect you, or we might even help the other side, we might help Mexico invade you, you can't do anything about it once we have these laws in place that say we're going to protect you. | ||
| There's no way that Texas joins the Union. | ||
| There's no way that Florida joins the Union. | ||
| There's no way that the original colonies come together and say, oh yeah, if the federal government decides not to protect us for some crazy reason, which we have here, then We can't defend ourselves. | ||
| No way do we sign up for that. | ||
| No one signs up for that. | ||
| So it cannot be that the founders meant, when they wrote the Constitution, that if the federal government passes laws, that somehow we're preempted from protecting ourselves, especially when you look at the damage that's being caused, the drugs and the potential terrorism and the crime. | ||
| It's all proven, and the federal government is aiding and abetting all of it. | ||
| Where do we actually stand now, practically, with Governor Abbott, yourself, with the wire, the State National Guard, the Texas Rangers, the DPS? | ||
| Practically, what are you guys doing right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're still putting up wire and fences, and we're going to continue to do so. | |
| There was nothing in any decision that said we couldn't do it. | ||
| We were trying to stop the federal government from cutting it down. | ||
| The Supreme Court undid that injunction that the Fifth Circuit put in place to stop the federal government from cutting it down. | ||
| But practically speaking, since that case, since the injunction got taken away, Border Patrol, federal government, none of them are cutting down our wire or fence, and we continue to put it up to protect our state. | ||
| I just want to, I want to make sure that we're very clear about this because I'm going to have Russ vote on in a second about this, about the budget. | ||
| Biden, who's saying that he's doing everything possible he can to make sure he secures the border, that's his campaign pitch. | ||
| Are you saying right now Biden's government is actively working against law enforcement officials in the state of Texas from securing the border? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, by filing this lawsuit, I absolutely think they are. | |
| And by encouraging the cartels to bring as many people here as possible, yes, they are. | ||
| And by having this program where 30,000 people a month are flown in from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua, just flying over the border into various places that none of us know, yes, they absolutely have complete disdain for federal law. | ||
| When he says it's Congress's fault, nothing could be more false than saying it's Congress's fault. | ||
| The rules and laws are in place. | ||
| Trump enforced them. | ||
| Biden says, no, I'm not enforcing them. | ||
| And then I'm going to blame Congress for it not working. | ||
| And then I'm going to tell the states, oh, even though we're not enforcing it, we're not going to let you protect yourselves. | ||
| It's all very double-minded and wrong. | ||
| And it does great harm to my state. | ||
| It does great harm to the entire country. | ||
| And Biden continues to lie about it. | ||
| Has any federal official sat down with you or have you met with any federal official that has explained why they're doing this, why they're working with the cartels, why they're fighting you to secure the border, why they're flying people into the state of Texas? | ||
| Has anybody sat down with you and walked through their rationale why they are doing this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not a single person from the Biden administration has ever called us to explain what they're doing. | |
| They've never called us to say, hey, can you stop putting up the wire? | ||
| Can you stop putting up the fence? | ||
| We think that it's good for the cartels to get in here. | ||
| They should at least tell us that. | ||
| Say, we think it's a good idea for the cartels to have access. | ||
| And they've never done that. | ||
| They've never come and explained. | ||
| I don't think there's a good explanation. | ||
| And I think that's why they just sue us and hope that the courts will go off of this preemption idea that Hey, we're the federal government. | ||
| We do whatever we want. | ||
| And even if it hurts your state, and a lot of people die, and there's lots of kids dying from fentanyl overdoses, and there's a few terrorists in your state, hey, we're the federal government. | ||
| We can do that. | ||
| Attorney General Paxson, I know you've got to oversee this hearing. | ||
| It's going to take place in about 45 minutes. | ||
| Where can people follow you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
At KenPaxsonTX and KenPaxson.com. | |
| Thank you for carving time out today. | ||
| I know you're very busy. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Have a great day. | ||
| Thanks for covering it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Let me get Russ Vogt in here. | ||
| I got to follow up on. | ||
| Russ Vogt joins us. | ||
| So, Russ, you just heard the Attorney General of the state of Texas. | ||
| You see what the federal government's doing. | ||
| Now, today, they just had a Republican conference. | ||
| Where Johnson saying they're talking about all the great wins they've got. | ||
| And of course, Hakeem Jeffries comes out right after that and just puts it up on our grill, how we got nothing. | ||
| We didn't shut the border. | ||
| They're still coming across. | ||
| I mean, they're laughing at us. | ||
| They're they're mocking us. | ||
| We haven't taken out any of the woken weaponized. | ||
| Just this audience is ready for a fight. | ||
| OK, they've kind of had it. | ||
| So walk us through exactly where we are coming out of this conference today on this. | ||
| And you just heard the attorney general of Yeah, both sides are laughing at us. | ||
| The federal government hasn't even picked up the phone and even tried to explain their position about why they believe an open border works, why they believe it's correct to fly people in this country. | ||
| Russ Vought. | ||
| Yeah, both sides are laughing at us. | ||
| It's not just the Democrats, but it's also the Republican cartel establishment. | ||
| You have Patrick McHenry applauding Mike Johnson, saying, look how well he's governing. | ||
| He gets a deal. | ||
| He's learning how to do this. | ||
| I mean they're both sides are laughing at us because they know that nothing of importance to be able to have a course correct with the Biden administration is going to be accomplished in this. | ||
| Right now, here's the state of play. | ||
| We don't have text. | ||
| We hope to have text today. | ||
| We may not have text till tomorrow. | ||
| So they are briefing their members and reporters, not the American people, as to the spin that they want both sides to understand and be able to secure their vote. | ||
| So they just came out of a conference meeting. | ||
| They might still be in it. | ||
| That started at 9 o'clock. | ||
| And what they're really trying to do is get conservatives to allow them to not have 72 hours to read the bill. | ||
| I mean, it's mind-boggling. | ||
| Of all of the complete caving that you're doing on the actual substance of the bill, then you're not going to allow the public to actually have three days to read it and understand what's in it so that we have an opportunity to present both sides to the country. | ||
| Pretty astronomical. | ||
| But I do want to hone in on the border, right? | ||
| This is a classic Washington DC game in which they use, they essentially create shiny objects. | ||
| So when you have an administration, DHS, impeach Mayorkas of which has already occurred, when you have that, giving them more border security money doesn't do anything. | ||
| In fact, it makes the problem worse. | ||
| So Johnson is going around saying, well, we got more border agents, we've got more ice beds. | ||
| Ice is not ice. | ||
| Ice isn't like In doing internal enforcement, ICE is circulating these individuals with fancy packets at the airlines to go through the rest of the country and be in communities and we don't know where those are all occurring. | ||
| is empowering the very DHS of which they have impeached their leader. | ||
| They are funding it. | ||
| They have a choice to not fund it. | ||
| And that is something that they have been unwilling to do. | ||
| And so they're going to go out and tell the American people and lie, quite frankly, they are going to lie to their voters about the extent to which they're doing anything on border security. | ||
| It is not helping Texas. | ||
| It is not helping Arizona and the rest of the country in which these are gateway states. | ||
| To the interior. | ||
| It is doing nothing. | ||
| And this Republican majority is funding this woke and weaponized bureaucracy. | ||
| Russ, can you hang on? | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| We're going to talk about what we can do about this. | ||
| The reason they're not giving us the seven, two hours to read the bill is that there's so much in here. | ||
| They're saying, oh, we broke the omnibus. | ||
| Well, this is a mini bus. | ||
| It's almost a maxi bus. | ||
| And they don't want you to go through the pages, page by page to see what they've crammed in here, because it's not good. | ||
| If it was any good, they'd be up in your face about how good it is. | ||
| It's all awful. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We had Liz Harrington, Russ Vogt, Rahim's going to join us. | ||
| Rabbi Walecki is going to join us. | ||
| Dave Bratz is going to be in studio. | ||
| He's got a lot going on. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| Hey, you don't think it's turbulent? | ||
| Look at the southern border. | ||
| Federal courts are fighting to keep it open. | ||
| The Biden regime is trying to keep it open. | ||
| This invasion is only going to get worse and worse and worse. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Go check it out. | ||
| Why gold has been a hedge for 8,000 years of mankind's history. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| You know, gold's at, I think, $2,187 this morning. | ||
| $2,187 is close to an all-time high. | ||
| Why, do you ask? | ||
| Hey, Bannon, why is gold near an all-time high? | ||
| I tell ya, one of the reasons, not the sole reason, Russ Vought's gonna join us in a second. | ||
| We're gonna go through the gory details. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com right now and talk to the Phillip Patrick team. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Banna. | ||
| Talk to the team that are the specialists. | ||
| Talk to Phillip Patrick and ask him. | ||
| Put that question to him. | ||
| Why is gold near an all-time high? | ||
| Russ Vought, one of the reasons, correct me if I'm wrong, brother. | ||
| We've worked on this one since they cut the debt deal. | ||
| This, what they're about to send to us tomorrow so we can read and we want the posse to hold your fire. | ||
| Just hold your fire for right now because we want to make sure you got a full load of ammo when we hit them with a volley. | ||
| Want to make sure you're loaded up. | ||
| And that's going to take us through the day to do that when we see the text. | ||
| But correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| Is there not basically a $2 trillion deficit in what we're about to pass or what we're fighting and they're trying to pass this week? | ||
| This is essentially the Pelosi numbers plus a minimum of $30 billion, essentially? | ||
| No, that's exactly what this is. | ||
| I mean, we're looking at a $2 trillion deficit this year. | ||
| Every time we get the numbers, Quarterly by quarterly, they get worse. | ||
| We haven't seen this dramatic drop in our fiscal situation. | ||
| This is exactly what Pelosi has put forward previously, and there are no cuts in here. | ||
| Of course, they're under a debt limit that allows them to spend as far as the eye can see. | ||
| It's a suspension. | ||
| They are in the driver's seat when it comes to being able to ram this through. | ||
| And that's why it's incumbent on the House and the conservatives to force Mike Johnson away from the deal and to not let them move this on the suspension calendar and move this during regular order to allow us to have 72 hours to read the bill. | ||
| The reason I call out conservatives is because I've seen some conservative leaders out there saying, you know, it's not that big of a deal. | ||
| We know where members are going to vote for it or against it. | ||
| We already know that now. | ||
| That's not how you represent the American people. | ||
| You represent the American people by sticking to the rules that were set in place to be able to get the word out so that we would be able to expose with truth the workings and the inner workings of the cartel. | ||
| And so it's really important that we not have conservative leaders, and some of these are not in Congress, that just seal clap Mike Johnson right now and say, oh man, you're the most conservative speaker we've ever seen. | ||
| This is the best you could have gotten. | ||
| Wow, you've done a great job. | ||
| He's done nothing. | ||
| He has done absolutely nothing in this bill. | ||
| And we know that by the things that they themselves are telling their members and that the Democrats are telling their members about what is in here. | ||
| It deserves a hard pass. | ||
| And the extent to which we will confirm that case and spell that out and find new things, quite frankly, is what we will do when we get the text. | ||
| And you'll put something up that Grace and Mo can share with the War on Posse, and from there we'll refine our argument when we flood the zone with calls and texts and emails to put people on notice. | ||
| You vote for this, you're signing your political death warrant, correct? | ||
| Yeah, we will get that up on the site and let the Bill Blaster team go to work. | ||
| Russ, where do people go and get you? | ||
| They can get me at AtRussVote or our Center and Citizens Am Renew Center. | ||
| That's where all of this information will be put out and we'd love for folks to come to the site and thank you as always, Steve. | ||
| What's your social media? | ||
| You get a little feisty on there, want to make sure people real-time are following it? | ||
| AtRussVote is my personal handle on all the channels. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Okay, let's go ahead and play the cold open from this morning, and then Liz Harrington is going to come on. | ||
| Her magnificent prayer for Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| ...spent the last couple of days saying he was just talking about the cars. | ||
| I'm an economics reporter. | ||
| We've not used that term, bloodbath about cars, but what you write about is that it's the context. | ||
| It's not just whether he said that sentence about cars. | ||
| It's everything else he said in the speech, starting with the salute of the hostages. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean when he refers to the cars, he's then clearly switching gears. | |
| He's saying the cars will be the least of it. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'll be a bloodbath for the whole country. | |
| And the folks who are saying the context is the cars, what they're actually doing is ripping it out of context. | ||
| Because the context is the whole fascist history of violence, the whole fascist history of martyrdom cults, Trump's prior insurrection attempt in January of 2021, and the physical context. | ||
| He's just got people to sing along with the criminals of January 6th. | ||
| That's the real context. | ||
| You write, those who speciously insist that Trump had in mind an automotive bloodbath never mentioned that he had just celebrated criminals, repeated the big lie, dehumanized people, and followed fascist patterns. | ||
| You lay out in your article The pattern of that speech. | ||
| All of that was done before he brought up cars for one sentence, and then went back to violence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Before I came down here, I was talking to my 11-year-old daughter, and she said, you know, with dictators, Dad, you just have to listen to what they said. | |
| She's learned well from it. | ||
| Well, in so much of this discussion, you just have to listen to what the man says. | ||
| You can look for excuses in good faith or bad faith. | ||
| You cannot want to look at what he's actually saying. | ||
| You can decide that you like the bloodshed, so you're going to lie about it now. | ||
| You can decide you're going to look away. | ||
| But the actual context are those human beings around him who have been asked to identify by singing and standing with violent criminals who tried to overthrow our system. | ||
| That's the context. | ||
| There's something important here. | ||
| You've told us we got the term, the big lie, or we applied it to this from work that you had done. | ||
| Donald Trump is not acting like a normal politician who expects to win or is even trying to win. | ||
| He doesn't need to win more votes. | ||
| He just needs to be in the ballpark. | ||
| Because he's laid the groundwork for you not believing that he would have lost the election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| It's also important in this speech, if we're talking about context, that at least nine times he himself invokes the big lie. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| And in doing that, he creates, he embraces the people around him in this alternative reality. | ||
| And in an alternative reality, it's not the number of votes that's going to count. | ||
| It's the feeling of having won that's going to count. | ||
| And that's why we have to understand his words as preparation for a November 24 insurrection. | ||
| That's what he's after. | ||
| But there's another side to it that is a problem. | ||
| The country, we're in a real bizarro land right now. | ||
| The country doesn't like Donald Trump. | ||
| But the Democrats have nominated the one candidate that even Trump could beat. | ||
| And conversely, the Republicans with Trump have the one candidate that even Joe Biden can beat. | ||
| Because they both have terrible numbers. | ||
| The country wants to fire Joe Biden. | ||
| So, the fun part of the Biden Democratic work is thinking of all the problems with Trump and pounding on him because he gives you ammo every day. | ||
| He's a clown. | ||
| But if they don't fix Biden, I mean, right now in the polling, forget the head-to-head. | ||
| If you ask people who's better to run the economy of the two candidates they don't like, they pick Trump by double digits. | ||
| Biden can't have that in October. | ||
| So the campaign has to be about things like chips and EVs and manufacturing jobs to chip back that Trump advantage on the economy. | ||
| Otherwise, the bar to replace Biden with Trump for voters is pretty low. | ||
| You remember 80. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Stop. | ||
| historically. Oh, a bold movie actor washed up and worked with chimps. Yet he beat Jimmy Carter because the country wanted to fire the incumbent. So they got to fix Biden to some extent or all this Trump stuff won't be enough. | ||
| Election held tomorrow, I think in the Electoral College, Trump would win. | ||
| What approved. So if you add those together, some three quarters of Republicans approve, perhaps not surprisingly, but the disapproved number also interesting. 14 percent strongly disapprove. Seven percent somewhat disapprove. So clearly there's an opening there for a non-Trump candidate. But Aaron, take a look at these numbers for President Biden. Republican primary voters were asked if they believe he legitimately won in 2020. | ||
| Six in ten Republicans say he did not. | ||
| 32% say he did. | ||
| So that, of course, sets the table for the conversation going on in the months ahead to November. | ||
| Aaron, the reason this race is so important, the Senate majority hinges on two seats, on only one if the President's party is still in power here. | ||
| So that's why this race will be one to keep an eye on until November, Aaron. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Thank you very much, Jeff Zeleny. | ||
| Basil Smikle, former chief of the New York Democratic Party out front, and Harry Enten, our data guru. | ||
| Harry, those numbers on these exit polls, I suppose we should no longer be surprised. | ||
| What do you say? | ||
| Shocked, but not surprised? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| About the GOP 63% saying Biden is not legitimately elected. | ||
| But it is incredible. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't think we can be surprised anymore, but we can still shake our heads that about two-thirds of the Republican electorate, depending on which primary state you're jumping to, believe something that's a fugazi, that's fake. | ||
| We all know that Biden legitimately won that election, yet two-thirds of Republicans believe otherwise, depending again on the state you're looking at. | ||
| And that just shows the stranglehold that Donald Trump has over the Republican Party. | ||
| There's still maybe about a quarter of that Republican Party that's willing to go the other way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is that strongly or somewhat disapproved that Jeff was pointing out But the fact is they are minority the majority the party is firmly in Trump's pocket A member of Donald Trump's White House team is now in prison Peter Navarro who served as the former president's trade advisor reported to a Miami Jail today to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress the result of his defying a subpoena from the January 6th committee He is the first Trump administration official to be sentenced in connection with the attempt to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss | |
| before turning himself in Navarro lashed out. | ||
| Every person who has taken me on this road to that prison is a friggin Democrat and a Trump hater. | ||
| It starts with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| Who forms the J6 committee. | ||
| I'm pissed. | ||
| That's what I'm feeling right now. | ||
| But I'm also afraid of only one thing. | ||
| I'm afraid for this country. | ||
| Because this, what they're doing, should have a chilling effect on every American, regardless of their party. | ||
| If they come for me, they can come for you. | ||
| Okay, that's Peter Navarro, Defiant. | ||
| Of course, Dr. Peter Navarro's work after the 2020 election was magnificent. | ||
| He laid out all the numbers of how the election was stolen. | ||
| And I'd like to take a victory lap for the war room posse. | ||
| As CNN melts down, yes, two-thirds to 75% of Republican voters know, not think, they know the 2020 election was stolen. | ||

| And how it's going to be replicated when President Trump takes back over the White House. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
| Okay, there is a hearing today on impeachment evidence and Hunter Biden... I haven't gotten all the facts here because we're doing the show, obviously. | ||
| I think Hunter Biden didn't show up for his congressional subpoena. | ||
| He was subpoenaed. | ||
| I don't think he showed up today. | ||
| Oops. | ||
| Liz Harrington, you've been at this, in fact you came from the RNC to War Room in the interim after the 2020 election and I think I'm fair to say you came because you were not convinced at that time that the RNC was all in on this. | ||
| All in on the big steal, on how the election was stolen. | ||
| You came, you're our executive editor, you stayed until you went to the Trump campaign. | ||
| But you saw in that period, and that was a key period, and remember, it's not Steve Bannon saying this. | ||
| It's Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and one of these brilliant pieces they come up with every now and again. | ||
| Besides all the fake news that's in their pieces. | ||
| About a month ago, they said the central reason that President Trump is in the power position, he's in, you just heard the MSNBC guys melting down about Biden. | ||
| The reason he's in the power position is that... | ||
| He deeply believes in his heart and his soul. | ||
| He knows that the 2020 election was stolen, and he wouldn't bend the knee to any of the Republican establishment, RNC, or all the donors that told him, no, no, no, no, you just have to do a mea culpa, we'll get them next time. | ||
| That critical time period. | ||
| After the 2020 election and then into the first six months of essentially what was his exile down in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| He would never, he never retreated on that and that is the reason that we're primed in this position today. | ||
| Liz, you've written an incredibly moving piece about Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| We've got it up on the site now if we can put it up. | ||
| It's called A Prayer for Peter Navarro. | ||
| Walk us through it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thanks, Steve. | |
| It's a prayer for my friend, Peter. | ||
| It's really a prayer for the nation. | ||
| What Peter was just saying in that brilliant cold open that you put together. | ||
| This is about the country. | ||
| If you're wondering where we are, Peter Navarro is in prison. | ||
| You just covered it at the top of the show. | ||
| Our country is being invaded by our own leaders helping the people, our enemies invading it. | ||
| You have Russ Vought. | ||
| Laying it out too. | ||
| Peter Navarro is in prison for contempt of Congress. | ||
| The feeling is mutual. | ||
| We hold Congress in contempt. | ||
| There's Over 100 million of us. | ||
| That is the problem with what's going on in our country. | ||
| And he struck me, Russ Vought did, when he said the people that will be cheering on the status quo and saying, well, this is the best we could get. | ||
| The best we could get was our elections are stolen. | ||
| They're imprisoning top advisers to the most popular incumbent administration in our country's history for speaking out about the stolen elections. | ||
| And then, of course, the border, the economy, the wars, all the rest that you cover. | ||
| Liz, hang on for a second. | ||
| I don't want to bring up the irony of this, but this has to be burned into the soul of this audience, because this audience is the power. | ||
| The reason we have two-thirds to 75% of voters, and I think 40% of everybody, getting almost 50%, and independence very high. | ||
| Which is the proxy for the American people. | ||
| is because we've been relentless about showing how and why the election was stolen. | ||
| That's why people in the United States are smart. | ||
| They're getting bombarded by the New York Times and CNN and MSNBC every day. | ||
| Oh, the election, this is all false, this is a lie, this is phony. | ||
| Remember, that's the preamble to Harry Enten right there. | ||
| Of course, what do you call it, Fugazi? | ||
| He says it's obviously false. | ||
| Well, people don't think that because they've looked and done their own research. | ||
| But the irony, I want to bring up a point. | ||
| This audience worked its tail off To make sure that we didn't have a Nancy Pelosi house. | ||
| And think about it. | ||
| Peter Navarro is in prison because of the House of Representatives run by Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| And what Russ Vogt came on here today, what Polly Pockets Johnson has done, what Polly Pockets has done is essentially approve Nancy Pelosi's budget plus at least 30 billion dollars. | ||
| Liz, that's the frustration with people, is that you work like crazy, you work your fingers to the bones to get these guys in there, and then these men and women in there, and then all they're going to do is essentially be Democrat lights. | ||
| These Republicans that vote for this thing are not MAGA, they're not Republicans, they're not conservatives, they are centrist Democrats. | ||
| Liz Harrington. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, exactly. | |
| And how can we abide by this? | ||
| I mean, that's basically the peace. | ||
| The peace could end right there. | ||
| Peter Navarro is in prison. | ||
| You can't fund this government. | ||
| You can't. | ||
| They're in prison, trying to imprison the leader of the opposition, obviously, President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| We know what country we're living in now. | ||
| And instead of a nation that was founded by heroes who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, We're now being run by villains who have no honor. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing is sacred. | |
| They steal the fortunes of others, all so they can keep destroying and killing the lives of the innocent. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| How can we be a part of any of this? | ||
| We cannot. | ||
| And what my conclusion of the piece is, however, Thank God we do not have to appeal to Chief Justice John Roberts, a despicable thing he did, and one man making a decision to send Peter to prison. | ||
| Well, thank God we don't have to rely on his mercy because he has none. | ||
| We rely, our appeal is to heaven. | ||
| This is what we need to start doing. | ||
| We have a power that is so much greater than these evil people. | ||
| God laughs at them. | ||
| He laughs at them. | ||
| So we need to start using it. | ||
| We need to start using Jesus Christ. | ||
| We need to use the word and we need to pray. | ||
| Not just for Peter. | ||
| Peter's going to be fine. | ||
| Peter is amazing. | ||
| He's a man of courage. | ||
| He's going to be fine, but we should pray for him. | ||
| But pray for this country. | ||
| This is not okay. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| We need to stand in righteousness. | ||
| And everything we do, whether it's the great work Russ Votes is doing, whether you're the Attorney General of Texas, whether you're just a mom or dad trying to raise your kids, whatever you're doing, You need to pray. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's it. | |
| That's how we're going to really start winning these battles, because these battles keep going, and it seems like they keep going the same way over and over and over and over again, Steve. | ||
| Our elections aren't fixed. | ||
| The budget's not fixed. | ||
| The border's wide open. | ||
| We need to start tactically fighting differently. | ||
| Peter Navarro, what Liz said, Peter Navarro was out there yesterday and just an incredible act of courage. | ||
| I mean the composure, how he off the top of his head gave this amazing press conference and that preamble and then walked in like the man he is into prison. | ||
| Remember, always and everywhere, They've indicted Trump, 91 counts, for 700 years. | ||
| And they're not going to be satisfied until they see President Trump walking into prison. | ||
| Remember that. | ||
| That's the stakes that are here. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| You can cut it any other way you want to. | ||
| You saw him last night slobbering all over Navarro going to prison. | ||
| That's what they want for Trump. | ||
| That's why this lawfare, which is cratering around him because it's all made up, it's all phony. | ||
| You see the Moscow show trial, they're going to try to strip him of all of his capital. | ||
| They're going to try to strip him of all his real estate, sell it at bargain basement prices, and just say, hey, tough break for a swell guy. | ||
| These are the times we live in. | ||
| And Liz Harrington is right. | ||
| Appeal to heaven. | ||
| Appeal to heaven. | ||
| Liz Harrington, where do people, so honored to have you back here as a contributor to All Things MAGA and Trump. | ||
| Where do people find you, ma'am? | ||

Thank you. | |
| I want to thank Natalie and Grace Amo, the fantastic photo of Dr. Navarro, man, what a classic. | ||
| Up there on warroom.org right now, go check it out. | ||
| Also, make sure you sign up for the newsletter. | ||
| You get all kinds of different, we're adding a ton of content to that every day, also to the website, so make sure you go check it out. | ||
| Rahim, I don't even know where to start. | ||
| National Pulse has got so many great stories. | ||
| I don't know if we start with the billions that Biden's raising or we start with what you focused on there because they know they can't put forward a program. | ||
| The MSNBC guy just sitting there going, hey, you're not gonna be able to sell this economy to working class people. | ||
| You're not gonna be able to sell what's going on on the border to working class people. | ||
| It's not sellable. | ||
| So we have to have a different take. | ||
| You've unearthed, I think, over at National Pulse, one of their takes, and it goes all the way back to your original interview with President Trump about the issue of blood. | ||
| And now you see what they have, these left-wing influencers, kind of a mini thing that you saw in the DeSantis campaign. | ||
| Walk me through what the real focus of the Biden regime's campaign is to defeat President Trump. | ||
| Yeah, thanks Steve. | ||
| You know, I think it was a couple of weeks ago now, right, that I text you and I was talking to the staff over at The Pulse and I said, you know, I'm noticing a lot of the Midas touch people and their videos, their out-of-context clips are getting a lot of attention. | ||
| I think we need to spend some time looking into into this group and then sure enough, they rear their incredibly ugly heads probably in the most prominent way that they have yet this past weekend in the Ohio rally with the bloodbath comments, right? | ||
| And so this kind of allowed us the latitude, it gave us kind of the editorial permission internally to be like, look, we can kind of park a lot of other things that we're looking at right now. | ||
| These guys are very clearly one of the driving forces behind the Biden digital media influencer style campaigns. | ||
| Well, we've started to do that investigation. | ||
| I am very grateful to some of the audience who have joined the National Pulse since I announced that on this show the other day to help us start moving that ball forward. | ||
| We recently unveiled that Reid Hoffman, You know, Epstein-Link Hoffman behind the E. Jean Carroll lawsuits, behind the Fusion GPS lawsuits, behind Nikki Haley's campaign, originally contributed to Midas Touch. | ||
| So this is one of their critical kind of Hollywood, big tech funded operations that is, as you say, as you rightly put your finger on, it's not there to advance any of the Biden campaign's It's not there to advance any kind of positive vision for America. | ||
| Midas Touch literally exists as an offshoot of a Democratic PAC. | ||
| They see their role as clipping Donald Trump out of context and getting millions upon millions of views across that all over the country. | ||
| Well, what is one of the corollary, the necessary knock-on effects of that strategy? | ||
| Well, it's that most mainstream media reporters, journalists, especially those working the weekend when rallies like Ohio are happening, they're looking for somebody to give them their work, right? | ||
| They're lazy, they're feckless, they just want to rush it out so they can go and hang out at Cafe Milano or whatever they're doing. | ||
|

But hang on, hang on, hang on. | |
| Cafe Milano with you. | ||

| Why are you picking on these guys? | ||
| What's the difference in these guys in Media Matters? | ||
| I thought David Brock, I thought this was Media Matters gig. | ||
| Why are they so... In fact, hold that till after we get over. | ||
| I want to know, why are these guys different And why is this difference? | ||
| Well, hang on, I'm going to hold on, but make sure people come back after the break. | ||

|
I do not need anything to make me crazier. | |
| Your morning walk. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, you can read this story this morning up on TheNationalPulse.com over a cup of tea, over a cup of coffee. | ||
| You won't even get through the whole thing, the whole cup of coffee before you finish this story, because as always, we keep it tight. | ||
| We keep it what you need to know, and the links are all there if you want to know more, right? | ||
| So there it is, up at TheNationalPulse.com right now. | ||
| And let's talk about that, Steve. | ||
| Let's talk about Media Matters and David Brock and all of these guys. | ||
| You know, their old hat. | ||
| They really are. | ||
| It's yesterday's man and it's yesterday's way of doing Oppo like this. | ||
| The fact of the matter is, whether we like it or not, and I'm certainly in the not camp on this one, Midas Touch is for the TikTok generation, right? | ||
| It's for the Instagram Reels generation. | ||
| They are developing a strategy. | ||
| They have a strategy. | ||
| And they're quite open with it. | ||
| People need to go and read their quotes in this story about what they are there to do. | ||
| They don't say, oh, we're news reporters, we're trying to be journalists, we're trying to expose the truth. | ||
| They say, hey, we're clipping Donald Trump out of context three, four, five times a day, and these things are getting 25 million views on them, right? | ||
| And that's what happened with the bloodbath thing. | ||
| Media matters is slow, takes them six hours to get a story up, you got the video embed, you got 700 words to go alongside it. | ||
| This is not the way to reach people anymore. | ||
| Sorry, Brocksters, you're done. | ||
| Midas Touch has eaten your lunch. | ||
| That's what's happening here, and that's why these guys are so dangerous. | ||
| They are wildly effective, they are wildly fast, and they If you read this story, we're invited to a preview screening of the State of the Union inside the White House with Anita Dunn and with Doug Emhoff. | ||
| That is a collusion between the Biden White House and this Hollywood-funded, this Reid Hoffman-funded hit job institution, Midas Touch. | ||
| And believe me, ladies and gentlemen, there is a lot, a lot more to come on these guys. | ||
| Okay, give me Reid Hoffman first off. | ||
| This guy's in back of, this is one of the most dangerous guys in the country. | ||
| He is a Trump hater, a War Room hater, a Steve Bannon hater, a MAGA hater of the top tier. | ||
| Walk me through, give me a quick dump on Hoffman. | ||
| Anything he's in back of is horrible. | ||
| Yeah, and I can only hope that by the time we're done with him, he will very much become a Raheem Kassaman National Pulsator, too. | ||
| Reid Hoffman is the LinkedIn founder. | ||
| He's a big tech guy. | ||
| He's been around this stuff for decades now. | ||
| But if you look under any of the mattresses, the anti-Trump, the never-Trump cases, whether it was E. Jean Carroll, whether it was Nikki Haley's campaign, whether it was Fusion GPS and their lawsuits that they faced as a result of peddling the Russia hoax, all of these things, and now Midas Touch, all of these things come back to Reid Hoffman. | ||
| In some way, shape or form, he is involved with every single one of these things. | ||
| And as a multi-billionaire, of course, he can be. | ||
| He's at all of the parties. | ||
| He's rubbing shoulders with Molly Jungfast, George Conway, all of these guys. | ||
| You know, Reid Hoffman really is the linchpin of NeverTrumpism right now. | ||
| And might I just touch, you know, I'm ringing the alarm bells about these guys. | ||
| They frankly should be kicked off platforms like X under their own disinformation, misinformation. | ||
| policies because they are shown and have admitted to being bad actors in this regard. | ||
| But Reid Hoffman is really where all of that starts out. | ||
| Having said that, we're going through all of the other donors at the moment. | ||
| We're going through everyone else that is in their circuit, in their circles, and we're going to light them all up. | ||
| As we used to say on this show all the time, Steve, we're going to make them famous. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fantastic. | |
| One last thing, if I let you go, because I know you're busy. | ||
| Biden, I think you're the first guy to really identify it. | ||
| It's going to be $2 billion. | ||
| Because a lot of people are talking about it in pockets, but nobody's aggregating it up. | ||
| Of course, in the Hill today, Democrat donors are saying they don't care how much money Biden has. | ||
| What he has to sell is not sellable. | ||
| But I think you're the first guy to aggregate it up. | ||
| It's going to be $2 billion against Trump this year? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| So this is totaling up a lot of the money that is coming from similar types of dark money operations, that's coming from unions, that's coming from, you know, all over the place trying to prop this guy up. | ||
| They realize, hey, look, you know, if you're going toe to toe with Donald Trump in this election campaign, that they are going to absolutely get blown out. | ||
| I mean, Joe Biden may end up making Barry Goldwater's loss look somewhat respectable if they continue on their current trajectory. | ||
| So what do they have to do? | ||
| Well, with the Midas Touch thing, they have to spread constant misinformation, just peddling lies upon lies upon lies, and by the way, being very upfront about it, in credit to them. | ||
| The second part of it is cash, right? | ||
| At the same time that you're seeing this Cash crunch, this cash squeeze around the Trump campaign. | ||
| And because of all of these lawsuits and all of this lawfare, you're seeing all of these groups coming out at the same time saying, yeah, okay, look, we really do have to throw just massive, massive amounts. | ||
| When they say two billion, they mean three billion, right? | ||
| Like they're trying to be conservative with their estimates here. | ||
| The reality is they need to spend a lot more than that. | ||
| So it's stunning. | ||
| I wish we had more time because I'd love to talk about the Tyson food stuff. | ||
| All of the experts, they will do it another day. | ||
| But I just want to make sure. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| OK, can you hang on just a minute for through the break? | ||
| 90 second break. | ||
| You've got to do Tyson's Foods and that association. | ||
| OK, short commercial break in the war room. |
