| Neither Nixon nor Agnew went to jail for even a day. | ||
| Now, though, we are learning the consequences of, you know, in our history, letting presidents evade personal punishment when they have committed crimes. | ||
| Because now we've got a former president who isn't leaving office, like Nixon did, like Agnew did. | ||
| Now we've got one who isn't eliminating the ongoing danger to the public by getting out of public life. | ||
| Right, so maybe that could have been what he traded his freedom for. | ||
| No, for our sins, what we've got now is one of these guys who's staying in public life, and therefore the threat is alive, right? | ||
| He's running to get back into the presidency with four different criminal trials stacked up like taxiing planes on a runway. | ||
| And so, no, none of us having any idea What it will mean for us as a country for him to be sent to jail as part of these criminal proceedings is part of what is new for us in this moment, which means we are about to find out what it's like to be a country that has a presidential candidate and former president in jail because he refuses to follow court orders. | ||
| It's not a thought experiment anymore. | ||
| It's not the future. | ||
| It is here. | ||
| Are we ready? | ||
| And the rule of law and the democratic system go together, right? | ||
| As the rule of law has bent and been broken by Trump and his movement, we've also seen the democratic system bend and get broken by Trump and his movement. | ||
| Obviously, we did not have a peaceful transfer of power the last time he competed in and lost an election. | ||
| There is no commitment at all, no expectation at all by anyone that he and his followers will allow for a peaceful transfer of power this next time. | ||
| If he loses this next election as well. | ||
| He's not even giving lip service to the idea that they will allow for a peaceful transfer of power. | ||
| He won't even say it and not mean it. | ||
| And even more importantly than that, just coming out of his face in his Republican Party, accepting that his followers will not abide the results of the next election. | ||
| And neither will the Republican Party in all of its power and all of its resources. | ||
| Accepting that is now the price of admission to power in that party. | ||
| Mr. Speaker, I rise to alert this House of the actions of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which seem to be vindicating the claim made by Peter Navarro that he is being held as a political prisoner. | ||
| I've been trying for five weeks to be able to interview Mr. Navarro. | ||
| And there are provisions that ought to allow this, and I was informed directly by Director Peters, who runs the Bureau, that that request would be denied. | ||
| And the reason it's being denied is because Peter Navarro is too notorious to be interviewed by a member of Congress. | ||
| John Gotti was interviewed when he was in prison. | ||
| The QAnon shaman was interviewed in prison. | ||
| Director Peters herself brought NBC News through prisons to showcase the work of corrections that's being done. | ||
| So I think there is something else afoot here, Mr. Navarro. | ||
| I'm being told is not being allowed to access his attorney and it is because it is shameful | ||
| what has been done to Peter Navarro based on a sham January 6th committee and a sham | ||
| indictment and a sham conviction that we ought to work to remediate immediately upon President | ||
| Trump's rightful and righteous return to office. | ||
| Thank you Mr. Speaker, I yield back. | ||
| Our democracy is mortal too, just like every other democracy in history has ever been. | ||
| Being real about the harm that has been done to us already, being clear-eyed about the fact that we can see some of these same dynamics at work in other countries, tuning into the fact that the right under Donald Trump is admiring of and openly emulating the way other countries have destroyed their democracies. | ||
| Recognizing they are willingly part of this project. | ||
| That, to me, is energizing. | ||
| I feel like that at least should put some steel in our spine. | ||
| Because it should tell us the part that we have to play here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| It should at least give us real, grounded, practical expectations of where this is all going to go next and where our efforts are most needed to stand up for who we are. | ||
| It should give us a clear sense of what we're going to need to defend and protect very soon when the leader of our country's branch of this movement, sometime very soon, almost inevitably, is going to break that court order again and is now, we know today, going to be ordered into a jail cell. | ||
| He inevitably, very soon, is going to be ordered into jail. | ||
| Because we are on the precipice of that happening. | ||
| And all the freakout that's going to attend it is something that we should expect. | ||
| We need to be ready. | ||
| We are on the precipice of that next step in what has already been a very difficult time for us as a country. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|

|
Because we're going medieval on this, people. | |
| Here's how I got a free shot of all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

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

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| It's Tuesday, 7th May in the year of our Lord. | ||
| Welcome, you're in the War Room, and we are live from the, quite frankly, magnificent Real America's Voice studio here in Palm Beach, Florida. | ||
| Really want to thank the Real America's Voice team. | ||
| Of course, we've got our Denver crew that produces our show every day, the great Denver crew of Real America's Voice, with my own crack team led by Producer Cameron, of course you got Grace Chung, Captain Ben, and everybody that puts their shoulder to the wheel on the morning and afternoon show. | ||
| Right there, Rachel Maddow, you see the power of President Trump. | ||
| President Trump is saying, hey, I'll be Nelson Mandela. | ||
| You can't have a constitutional gag order. | ||
| You can't do this to a guy that's leading in every poll. | ||
| This is election interference. | ||
| It's obviously in blatant election interference. | ||
| And they're already melting down. | ||
| They see the power. | ||
| That if President Trump is jailed by this judge for really his constitutional rights, if President Trump's not out there every day and on True Social talking about what's going on and what the reality is, all you get from the mainstream media is this very convoluted look of what's happening in the courtroom. | ||
| The buried lead there, and I'm gonna ask for it to be played again in a moment, Matt Gaetz. | ||
| The great Matt Gaetz goes to the floor of the house. | ||
| Matt Gaetz has been trying to get down to interview Peter Navarro in prison in Miami now for almost two months. | ||
| He's been rejected. | ||
| Here's the reason. | ||
| And remember, please remember this. | ||
| Peter Navarro is in a federal prison for a misdemeanor. | ||
| Peter Navarro is in a federal prison for a misdemeanor. | ||
| That misdemeanor was really backing the Constitution on executive privilege and also standing up to the sham J6 committee which we know now is a sham and this is one of the reasons McCarthy and Johnson and everybody should have gotten to work on this right away. | ||
| We are calling for, War Room calls for the immediate dismissal Of the Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Colette Peters. | ||
| Immediate dismissal. | ||
| She should be hauled before Congress this afternoon. | ||
| And this is one of my problems with Johnson. | ||
| Knowing that Matt Gaetz made that speech, knowing that Matt Gaetz had talked to people in the House, that Peter Navarro was not being allowed to be interviewed by people like Matt Gaetz because he's too notorious. | ||
| He's purely a political prisoner. | ||
| It's a misdemeanor, lady. | ||
| Why are we not starting Tuesday with her in the hot seat in front of a House committee? | ||
| Why are we letting the illegitimate Biden regime, the illegitimate Biden regime, and they're coming unglued. | ||
| Rachel Maddow, because remember what I said yesterday in the Axios, the two Axios pieces. | ||
| Number one, the first Axios piece is about their strategy now in battleground states, and they're looking for those 80,000 votes to inflip. | ||
| Where's the 81 million votes? | ||
| Where are the 81 million votes? | ||
| You never got them. | ||
| They were all phony mail-in ballots. | ||
| All 100% phony mail-in ballots. | ||
| You know you lost. | ||
| You know you stole it. | ||
| The mainstream media knows it. | ||
| Why do you think President Trump's in a trial? | ||
| Pull the camera back and think about an American history. | ||
| What we have done here. | ||
| What we've allowed them to do. | ||
| There was no need to allow them to do this. | ||
| This is what controlled opposition gets you. | ||
| This is what the Murdochs and Fox and the Republican establishment and the donor class and the political operatives and the Franklin's pollsters, all of them, this is what it gets you. | ||
| That MAGA, which remember they never ever ever anticipated in a billion years that President Trump would be leading, we would be back. | ||
| That's because this audience The rest of the audience of other shows of Real America's Voice, the MAGA movement, the America First movement, people coming together to have the back of President Trump. | ||
| And now he's not just the presumptive nominee, he's going to be the nominee, he's also going to be the next President of the United States. | ||
| Of which I would argue would be his third term because he's actually the President of the United States now because Biden didn't win. | ||
| They have Peter Navarro in a prison in Florida for a misdemeanor. | ||
| And they will not allow Matt Gaetz, who they understand is brilliant, to go see him. | ||
| Why? | ||
| He's too notorious. | ||
| For a misdemeanor, he's too notorious? | ||
| For a misdemeanor, he's too notorious? | ||
| He's a political prisoner. | ||
| And this is what they're attempting to do. | ||
| This is why we need an immediate, an immediate, an immediate Criminal investigation of the criminal conspiracy against President Trump and all of his followers from Arizona to Michigan to Fannie Willis, all of them. | ||
| We now know Fannie Willis, if she's too good, she's not going to testify in front of the committee down in Georgia. | ||
| They're arrogant. | ||
| They're arrogant because we've allowed them to be arrogant. | ||
| When you see what they do, and you see Rachel Maddow all puffed up there, and Ann Oppenbaum all puffed up, they're nervous but they're all puffed up, and their unctuousness and righteousness, self-righteousness, we've allowed that. | ||
| We've allowed that. | ||
| Oh, you can take them down a notch or two, and they're going to be taken down a notch or two. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because Donald J. Trump is going to win a sweeping victory, and we're not going to let it be stolen, and then there's going to be a new day starting at high noon on the 20th of January 2025, and they know that. | ||
| They understand that. | ||
| Let me play this again. | ||
| I want to play if I can play, Denver, if I can play once again the Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Let's play the Matt Gaetz speech from the House floor. | ||
| Mr. Speaker, I rise to alert this House of the actions of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which seem to be vindicating the claim made by Peter Navarro that he is being held as a political prisoner. | ||
| I've been trying for five weeks to be able to interview Mr. Navarro. | ||
| And there are provisions that ought to allow this, and I was informed directly by Director Peters, who runs the Bureau, that that request would be denied. | ||
| And the reason it's being denied is because Peter Navarro is too notorious to be interviewed by a member of Congress. | ||
| John Gotti was interviewed when he was in prison. | ||
| The QAnon shaman was interviewed in prison. | ||
| Director Peters herself brought NBC News through prisons to showcase the work of corrections that's being done. | ||
| So I think there is something else afoot here, Mr. Navarro. | ||
| I'm being told is not being allowed to access his attorney and it is because it is shameful what has been done to Peter Navarro based on a sham January 6th committee and a sham indictment and a sham conviction that we ought to work The only thing I disagree with, we're tired of waiting. | ||
| There's no more waiting. | ||
| We're going to put everything on Trump's shoulders? | ||
| Does Trump have to be Atlas? | ||
| Does he have to do everything? | ||
| Can't somebody else step up and take the burden off President Trump? | ||
| No! | ||
| Today! | ||
| Why is Colette Peters not in front of a committee? | ||
| Today! | ||
| Why are we not demanding her resignation? | ||
| Today! | ||
| Why are we not making her get up there in front of the nation and say why she will not let Gates and others go see Peter Navarro and why he can't see his lawyer and why is he too notorious? | ||
| Today! | ||
| Johnson, in your fecklessness and your weakness, why are you not calling Jim Jordan immediately to formally start an investigation into the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump and all his followers of the MAGA movement? | ||
| Why? | ||
| The Democrats are doing it from Arizona to Michigan. | ||
| To Florida? | ||
| To a courtroom in New York City? | ||
| Why are we so weak? | ||
| You're weak because you're gutless. | ||
| If the history of this movement shows us anything, if 2016 shows us anything, of the great comeback of President Trump from the doldrums in Mar-a-Lago of January of 2021, what does history show us? | ||
| Go on offense! | ||
| The only way to beat these people is to take them on. | ||
| They don't believe in the rule of law. | ||
| They don't believe in the Constitution. | ||
| They do not believe in the United States of America. | ||
| Look at the scum they have on these college campuses and the faculty that have this revolt going on, the beginning of the kinetic part of the Third World War in the United States of America. | ||
| It's go on offense. | ||
| And by the way, call the vote and call the vote today. | ||
| We got to expose Johnson as being a lackey of the Democrats. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Raheem Kassam on the other side. | ||

I can't take it. | |
| I can't. | ||
| I thought we could play it again. | ||
| is mortal too, just like every other democracy in history has ever been. | ||
| Being real about the harm that has been done to us already, being clear-eyed about the | ||
| fact that we can see some of these same dynamics at work in other countries, tuning into the | ||
| fact that the right under Donald Trump is admiring of and openly emulating the way other | ||
| countries have destroyed their democracies. | ||
| Recognizing that- I can't take it. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| I thought we could play it again. | ||
| I can't take it. | ||
| We were always and everywhere that we won the 2020 election. | ||
| This is why they're so adamant about this. | ||
| We beat them in 2020. | ||
| We didn't close the deal. | ||
| We can't allow that to happen this time. | ||
| Where's the 81 million votes? | ||
| Where's Axios? | ||
| Where's the 81 million votes? | ||
| How come they're not crowing about that? | ||
| We got 81 million votes, this time we're gonna get 84 million. | ||
| There was never 81 million votes! | ||
| And right there, they continue whining and democracy, it's all over. | ||
| We're outvoting you! | ||
| We're out registering people to vote. | ||
| We believe in democracy because two-thirds of the nation is MAGA. | ||
| And the kind of elites with the credentialed class and the underclass that they rule and enslave, they understand that that model, the neoliberal neocon model, is coming unglued. | ||
| It's because the populist nationalist movement is shattering it. | ||
| So all you're going to have is continual whining of democracy. | ||
| We love democracy because we got the votes. | ||
| Free men and free women. | ||
| And here's we're going to get more votes because as these scales come off of people's eyes, like African American men, Hispanic families, Asian Americans, people under 30, every demographic you've lied to and used, as they, as the scales come off their eyes, And they go through a great awakening and become red-pilled. | ||
| They're part of our army and you can't beat us. | ||
| All you can do is steal. | ||
| All you can do is steal and we're never going to allow that to happen again. | ||
| So this continue whining and whining and whining is going to be overwhelming democracy. | ||
| We love democracy because we got the votes. | ||
| And we're going to get more votes. | ||
| And then, you're gonna have to deal with it. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, Peter Navarro, why is Colette Peters not, why did we not start at 9 o'clock this morning with Colette Peters in the hot seat, being eviscerated by a Republican-controlled committee, and I would hope some Democrats be in there too, for refusing to let a guy, it's in a federal prison, on a misdemeanor! | ||
| On a federal prison of misdemeanor, not allowed to see his lawyer, not allowed to see a member of Congress because he's too notorious. | ||
| You know why he's too notorious? | ||
| Because he was the guy that started bringing the jobs back from China with the trade deals and the tariffs. | ||
| And he's the one that told President Trump, you want to seal the border? | ||
| Here's the way we threaten Mexico with tariffs, and they'll shut down the border on their side. | ||
| For his role in saving working class men and women in this country, in saving this country from the illegal alien invasion that Biden has had, therefore he must go to prison. | ||
| On a misdemeanor for standing up to Nancy Pelosi and he can't see anybody. | ||
| Why does she still have a job? | ||
| Why did you approve a budget you can't go in and blow out people like that? | ||
| Nothing but happy talk. | ||
| Nothing but happy talk. | ||
| All performative. | ||
| Controlled opposition has to stop. | ||
| This country didn't get into this crisis just by Democrats, radical Democrats in the United Party. | ||
| It's because they had a phony Republican Party, a phony conservative media, all performative. | ||
| Just wanted to go along, and that's why the country's in it, and you're seeing it play out every day. | ||
| You're either gonna fight for your country, or you're gonna let your country go to these evil, demonic people. | ||
| Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Well, Steve, I can't match the energy, but I can match the ire, and I can match the analysis. | ||
| You see, people like yourself and Donald Trump and Beata Navarro represent the most critical threats, I think, to the political establishment, the political order in the Western world today. | ||
| You've seen it almost from the inside out at some point in your lives. | ||
| You all either came from Democrat voting families, or were Democrats and Democrat donors. | ||
| That is what they fear the most, and that is why Peter Navarro is locked up right now. | ||
| He poses a threat like very few Republicans on Capitol Hill, if any, frankly, pose a threat. | ||
| He's seen it from the inside out, and he walked away. | ||
| He said, to hell with you guys. | ||
| You're selling this country down the river. | ||
| You're selling this country overseas. | ||
| And to add to what you're saying about who should be sitting in front of a committee this morning and answering questions, You know, riddle me this. | ||
| Of the weaponization budget, the weaponization committee that was put together in this Congress, why hasn't a penny been spent? | ||
| Why hasn't a subpoena been issued? | ||
| Why haven't you actually had serious people get up there doing serious things? | ||
| I mean, you even had the New York Times this morning. | ||
| Uh, have a report on January 6th and how the National Guard was failed to be deployed a step by step, line by line, on how the National Guard was failed to be deployed on January 6th. | ||
| And guess what the New York Times found, you know, four years after the fact, that it wasn't Donald Trump, that it wasn't the mugger Republicans, that it actually was the establishment, the status quo, the bureaucrats who stopped the National Guard being deployed so that the Capitol could be overrun, so that they could have their television moments. Remember Nancy Pelosi had her | ||
| videographer, documentarian daughter following her around on that day, and yet none of | ||
| the questions related to any of that ever get asked, let alone answered. I spent the weekend | ||
| speaking in New York with Jeff Clark, the former acting attorney general, whose house was raided | ||
| two years ago, whose devices were seized, and he still hasn't even had some of them back. | ||
| He still hasn't had the affidavit that shows why they raided the house, that shows what was in the warrant, what was the framework, the background, the undergirding of the warrant, and nor has anybody in Congress helped him ascertain that information. | ||
| You are, ladies and gentlemen, living in a police state today. | ||
| And it brings me to another point, Steve, which is the RNC and RNC Legal Council should be filing lawsuits every single day on these matters. | ||
| And for years upon years now, they have done absolutely nothing. | ||
| In fact, in some instances, they have been actually helping the Democrat Party. | ||
| They have been helping their friends like Mark Elias. | ||
| They've been assisting In taking America away from safe and secure elections to delivering, like you say, the phony, fake, mail-in ballot, fraudulent votes for people like Joe Biden. | ||
| Look, you've got to bring an article up on National Pulse about the replacement of Charlie Spees, but hit rewind for a second. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| Sometimes they're actually... Mark Elias doesn't need any help. | ||
| He's getting money from Arabella. | ||
| He's getting money from everybody. | ||
| Break down what you just said. | ||
| Well, there are more ways to help than simply delivering pallets of cash. | ||
| You can actually help by being a walkover. | ||
| You can actually help by back channeling information. | ||
| You can actually help by being a feckless tool who just sort of sits in the position and doesn't do anything. | ||
| And we've seen that time and time again. | ||
| You know, RNC staffers. | ||
| And I could tell you some stories about what I've heard coming out of the Spring Forum this weekend at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Sickening stories. | ||
| It'll make you sick to your stomach about the types of people that the RNC has hired. | ||
| And by the way, the types of people that the RNC is still hiring under this new regime. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Let that sink in. | ||
| And we will have more reporting on this to come, but if they want a war on this, we will give them | ||
| a bloody war on this. And I'm not afraid to do it. Like we showed you with the Charlie Spees stuff, | ||
| like I've showed you with this article about who should be in charge over there in the | ||
| RNC legal department. I don't like to fall out with people on my supposedly my own team, | ||
| but it seems to have to happen every so often, right? | ||
| It's that old godfather phrase. | ||
| Has to happen every five or ten years. | ||
| Gets rid of the bad blood. | ||
| So let's get rid of some bad blood. | ||
| That was supposed to be what this exercise in clearing the RNC was about. | ||
| That was supposed to be what Michael Whatley and Lara Trump are supposed to be doing. | ||
| But to this day, and by the way, to the last hour, Steve, I can report to you that the people that were fired Inside the RNC, when that new regime take over, well, a significant percentage of them, I'm talking about 70% plus, have been rehired into their positions. | ||
| This is unacceptable, this is pulling the wool over people's eyes, and it doesn't lead us anywhere closer to a secured victory for President Donald J. Trump on November the 5th of this year. | ||
| It doesn't advance the football, as you might say, not one bit. | ||
| So Charlie Spees can knock around Washington DC with Mark Elias. | ||
| He can go on television and call himself friends with Mark Elias. | ||
| He can go on stage at conservative conferences and say the 2020 election wasn't stolen. | ||
| And yet, and yet, he can even call, by the way, for Donald Trump to be investigated by the FEC and the DOJ. | ||
| And yet, he is put into situ as the RNC legal counsel? | ||
| I will stare down the barrel of this camera and I'll say to the people who I know are watching this, if you think I'm joking about coming for you next, try me. | ||
| Let's talk about that, because one of the reasons, if you take and break this down into three component pieces of, I say a year from now. | ||
| A year from now will be the end of the 100 days, first 100 days of President Trump's second term. | ||
| You have to get the vote out massively, win, you know, get more legal votes on 5 November. | ||
| Then it's that interregnum is going to be very tough. | ||
| You're going to have to close, which we didn't do last time. | ||
| You're going to have to close and seal it from the Mark Eliases and the Jamie Raskins. | ||
| Then you've got the first 100 days. | ||
| In every element of that, you see nothing, you see so much just performative effort. | ||
| Things that are not focused on victory, then the securing of the victory, and then hitting the deck, you know, getting muzzle velocity in the first hundred days, because you're seeing all this, they're trying to Trumpify right now by slipping these things, executive orders, Wall Street Journal's reporting it now, putting into different bills, etc. | ||
| But I want to go back to the RNC. | ||
| This whole purge, are you saying the 60 that were announced? | ||
| In the first couple of days of regime change over there, when Rana got unceremoniously kicked to the curb, you're saying that those 60, the people that were fired, are not fired, they're back in? | ||
| Yeah, I think there's about 60-70% of them, I would say, that are back in now. | ||
| I just got another report this morning saying that another one has been recently rehired, could have been in the last, I suppose, 24 hours, while the information made its way to me. | ||
| And this keeps happening, right? | ||
| It's a combination of path of least resistance, you know, DC schmooze fest and people calling in favors for their buddies. | ||
| There are people currently, I mean, I say there are people currently, let's let me be very clear about it. | ||
| The majority of RNC staffers do not believe that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president. | ||
| Let me repeat that in case I was unclear. | ||
| The majority of RNC staffers do not believe Joe Biden was an illegitimate president. | ||
| And let me be blunt. | ||
| Let me be blunt. | ||
| Any person in the building that does not believe Joe Biden is the illegitimate regime head and did not win the 2020 election should be walked out of the building today. | ||
| This is a bright line. | ||
| You're either with us or you're against us. | ||
| And you can't be in the middle. | ||
| Birchgold.com, end of the dollar empire. | ||
| We're the first one to call that. | ||
| Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash ban and get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| The fifth installment, central bank digital currency from the Fed. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Dr. Monica Crowley, Raheem Kassam next. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| We had a bunch of stuff to go through with you today, but we're jammed for time. | ||
| But I want to go back and just hit rewind because my phone's blowing up and I know the chat's blowing up. | ||
| Your investigative reporting about the RNC is going to be coming out in the next couple of days. | ||
| I mean, you've got this really incredible piece up. | ||
| And if Grace and Mo can make sure everybody's pushed out, and Carly Bonet and our team over at Telegram, Carly Bonet at Midnight Writer, and the rest of the great folks that help us with all this. | ||
| You talked about the three candidates that could come in and replace Charlie Spies, but you're saying you're doing additional reporting coming out of Mar-a-Lago, the RNC meeting in Mar-a-Lago? | ||
| Well, firstly, I think it really bears reporting on how the Charlie Spees thing went down, how it came to pass, and how it went down. | ||
| It's very important that people understand just how Swampy that whole process was and how much certain people tried to cling on to Charlie Spees over the RNC, again, despite his friendship with Mark Elias, despite his refusal to call 2020 stolen, despite the fact that he tried to have the FEC and the DOJ investigate Donald Trump back in 2016. | ||
| And so we will be doing further reporting on that. | ||
| I'm afraid it will upset some people. | ||
| We're going to also be looking into staffer by staffer now at the RNC and going line by | ||
| line and asking them, by the way, so check your emails, RNC staffers, because we have | ||
| a list of questions for you, seeing how they respond to these things. | ||
| Was 2020 stolen? | ||
| Is Joe Biden a legitimate president? | ||
| What are you doing working at the RNC if you believe that Joe Biden was freely and fairly | ||
| elected and things like that? | ||
| So it's time if the new team isn't really going to start clearing house, then I'm going | ||
| to start clearing house. | ||
| Okay, here's I want to make sure everybody understands Let me just frame this. | ||
| Raheem's got a lot more important things to do over at National Pulse. | ||
| They're fantastic. | ||
| The analysis you've got and we have so many things, you know, going on. | ||
| But if it has to happen, it has to happen. | ||
| And people say, oh, look, why are you calling a motion to vacate? | ||
| Why are you doing all this stuff? | ||
| Because you can't fight it until you're prepared to fight it. | ||
| And you can't fight it if people are just going to sit there and do performative in the front. | ||
| That's how we got into this jam. | ||
| The way we get out of this is punch our way out. | ||
| And complete convergence of everything on 5 November. | ||
| And from people that say, hey, it was stolen before, we're not going to allow have it happen again. | ||
| If you don't have that mindset, you don't have that mentality, it's like in football. | ||
| Go on another team. | ||
| There's a house style here, and the house style is to fight and to win. | ||
| Not just this business as usual. | ||
| The problem is, they don't quite understand we're in revolutionary times. | ||
| They don't understand the world's on fire. | ||
| They don't truly understand what's going on with these colleges. | ||
| This is Mao Zedong and the Cultural Revolution. | ||
| They don't want to understand it because they're standard stock neoliberals and neocons. | ||
| Be gone! | ||
| Be gone! | ||
| You're weak, you're cowardly, and you're in it just for the money to make your little $125,000 and hanging out at the cocktail parties. | ||
| That's gone. | ||
| Take a flamethrower and burn it out. | ||
| Rahim's got more to do than this, but you know what? | ||
| If it's gotta be done, I can't think of a better guy to do it. | ||
| Rahim, we're jammed. | ||
| I know you gotta bounce. | ||
| I gotta get you back on about particularly the New York Times piece on the National Guard. | ||
| Absolutely monumental. | ||
| We'll get you back on about that. | ||
| But, you wrote a brilliant tee-up, and once again a called shot by Rahim Ghassan. | ||
| And I didn't know Rahim had this range. | ||
| I didn't know your range, and joining me is the lovely Dr. Monica Crowley. | ||
| I normally have Monica on here to talk about national security, geopolitics, the revolutions going on throughout the world, but today I want to start with Rahim. | ||
| You wrote an amazing piece about the Met Gala, and it actually was even worse than what you teed us up to be. | ||
| It was a freak show beyond freak shows. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And I say that as a guy that dresses in all black all the time. | ||
| But Rahim, your thoughts? | ||
| I know Monica has some. | ||
| Monica being one of those Palm Beach, New York swells. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I know Monica. | ||
| I know Dr. Crowley has some comments. | ||
| What is this? | ||
| Is Anna Wintour, is she now embarrassed about what a freak show this thing's become? | ||
| Well, Steve, I just want to make sure that people go to TheNationalPulse.com and see the three names on the list for the RNC Lead Council. | ||
| So make sure people check out that. | ||
| And this is another piece of analysis that we put up on The Pulse yesterday. | ||
| When they announced that JG Ballard's The Garden of Time was supposed to be the theme, and by the way, they kind of flipped on that theme in the last minute because nobody knew what the heck she was talking about. | ||
| I decided to read that. | ||
| It's a short story. | ||
| It's about six pages long. | ||
| But it's effectively about a horde of heaving and swearing masses that kind of descend on this Mozart-playing Palladian villa, where this count and countess are living out the last days of their lives. | ||
| And this was the perfect analogy, I thought. | ||
| I mean, it kind of reminds you of the opening scene from the Camp of the Saints. | ||
| It's the perfect analogy for mass migration, especially when the Met Gala is occurring, you know, with the barbarians just blocks away at Columbia University and the barbarians kind of tearing down the walls and the bike racks in front of the Met yesterday. | ||
| I thought to myself, either this is really based from Anna Wintour, or just the most | ||
| monumental series of coincidences that has led us to the point where the theme of the | ||
| Met Gala is effectively the barbarian hordes bearing down on the people who are trying | ||
| to cling on to power and to cling on to their existence and to cling on to their civilization. | ||
| It's falling through the gaps in their fingers. | ||
| It was a horrible event, I think, and it really showed you the shallowness of the event, given | ||
| the fact that most people read The Garden of Time and they just dressed up as flowers. | ||
| But I think underlying it, you know, culture can be full of ironic moments like this, is a very serious take on how civilization is falling through the gaps of our fingers. | ||
| Only in the War Room do you get the Med Gala tied to the opening chapter of the Camp of the Saints. | ||
| Dr. Crowley, your thoughts? | ||
| Well, first of all, it's great to see you in person and to be on with the brilliant Rahim, of course. | ||
| This is a little too fancy-schmancy for me down here. | ||
| The Palm Beach thing is unbelievable. | ||
| I think I'm in MSNBC. | ||
| It's so magnificently beautiful. | ||
| It's gorgeous. | ||
| That's where I went off in the first few seconds. | ||
| We've got to remain gonzo. | ||
| The war room has always got to be gonzo. | ||
| And this is my first time in the new RAV studios here with you, and it's stunning. | ||
| It's great to see Rahim as well. | ||
| I just read his piece while he was speaking. | ||
| Brilliant, brilliant. | ||
| And to Rahim's point about how they flipped the script at the last minute, they tried to sell the Met Gala last night as the theme of sleeping beauty. | ||
| Okay, because I guess the Garden of Time was too intellectual for the audience, right? | ||
| Like, even I was watching the red carpet on E! | ||
| last night because I love to see the dresses. | ||
| I'm still a girl. | ||
| I might be an America first revolutionary Bannon and Rahim, but I'm still a girl. | ||
| So I wanted to see the couture. | ||
| But they were trying to sell the theme as sleeping beauty and a lot of snow whites on the red carpet. | ||
| But then, you know, they were pushing back against the hordes that were trying to protest | ||
| the Met Gala last night. | ||
| Anna Wintour runs the fashion industry single-handedly. | ||
| She runs it like a dictator. | ||
| And I just wanted to tell a quick little anecdote. | ||
| I have a very good friend who is an editor-in-chief of another top female magazine, okay? | ||
| Big, big. | ||
| And she told me early on in the Trump administration that the parent company of her magazine prohibited them, all of the magazines under their ownership, prohibited them from putting Melania Trump on the cover or even as a feature on the inside of the magazine. | ||
| I'm going to take a wild guess. | ||
| This was Condé Nast. | ||
| I'm just saying. | ||
| No, no, actually it was not. | ||
| Now, Condé Nast also, my understanding is, they put out a blanket prohibition that Mrs. | ||
| Trump could not appear. | ||
| Our most elegant and stylish First Lady. | ||
| Bannon, a literal supermodel, could not appear on the cover. | ||
| And my friend, who also runs a major magazine, was told by the parent company she could not | ||
| not only not put her on the cover, but not feature her in the magazine, and not just | ||
| Yes. | ||
| the literal supermodel, Melania Trump, but the rest of us, any woman working in the Trump | ||
| administration, they were banned from featuring in the magazines. | ||
| You know, Rahim, when they flipped the script, Anna Wintour flips the script, it's because | ||
| the analogy, because I read your piece the first time, and I'll be blunt, I didn't understand | ||
| Ballard, you know, it was too deep for me. | ||
| Is that why they flipped the script? | ||
| Because the thing was a freak show, was it not a freak show? | ||
| It is always way over the top because it's always couture. | ||
| This is Fashion Super Bowl, the Met Gala. | ||
| So it's always couture, one-of-a-kind pieces, and it's a performance. | ||
| So whether it's Kim Kardashian or Cardi B, they put on a show before they go up the stairs for an actual party. | ||
| I'm a little bit like Robespierre in this thing. | ||
| I think that ought to be the first thing we eliminate when the populace step over. | ||
| The over-the-top opulence. | ||
| Rahim, any closing thoughts here? | ||
| Let them eat cake, Adam. | ||
| Rahim, any closing thoughts here? | ||
| We got to get you back on about the New York Times coming clean now about the National | ||
| Guard. | ||
| So in the Garden of Time, in order to rewind time and keep the hordes back from the villa, | ||
| they have to snap these flowers, these time flowers. | ||
| That is the breaking of innocence. | ||
| That is allowing the hordes in to the garden. | ||
| And at the end of the story, and really, it's only six pages long. | ||
| People should read it. | ||
| It's a great story. | ||
| At the end, the only thing that is left are statues of the Count and Countess and they're surrounded by the hordes who kind of usurp it and then move on like locusts. | ||
| And isn't that just the perfect analogy for even just for what the Met Gala has become, right? | ||
| The smashing of innocents, the allowing in of the Cardi B's and the horrible dresses, From once-upon-a-time class and elegance into this horrible... Half of them were buck naked, weren't they? | ||
| I believe that Daily Mail... Half of them, as we say down south, were buck naked. | ||
| You know, I'm just repeating what I see in the Daily Mail. | ||
|

|
That's my level of sophistication when it comes to the high fashion. | |
| Rahim, how did people get to the National Pulse? | ||
| Amazing. | ||
| We're going to have you back on for your analysis of the National Guard piece. | ||
| Where did people go? | ||
| Yeah, look, if you want to support our war against the establishment, from right here on Capitol Hill, where I sit right now, it's TheNationalPulse.com forward slash war room. | ||
| TheNationalPulse.com forward slash war room. | ||

| Thanks, Steve and Monica and all the Rav team. | ||
| You know, when Rahim's on Capitol Hill and he's forced to be in that environment and work, he gets honoree, he gets, the stories get a cutting edge to him, etc. | ||
| So make sure you're always on the national pulse. | ||
| First thing, so there were intelligence sources that were coming to me yesterday afternoon saying that there were, they believed, they had heard that there was an assassination attempt on MBS. | ||
| By the Persians, by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, about their support, potential support for Israel. | ||
| They came out last night. | ||
| In fact, the Saudis put an official statement, said this is not true, nothing happened. | ||
| Those types of things, when you hear them, it's kind of odd. | ||
| Is something up there? | ||
| Yeah, all is not what it seems. | ||
| So last night I was scrolling through social media and I saw the story. | ||
| I saw the rumors that there was an attempted assassination, but none of it was confirmed and I couldn't find confirmation before I went to sleep. | ||
| And then this morning I saw, as you point out, the statement from Saudi security services. | ||
|
unidentified
|
An official statement. | |
| Yeah, saying that it wasn't true. | ||
| Which raises that level to come out and say that. | ||
| Yeah, for the government to actually dignify the rumor and deny it actually ratchets it up big time. | ||
| There's a lot of mystery and opaqueness swirling around this because, as you'll recall, toward the end of the Trump administration, as we had the Abraham Accords going and we were facilitating peace between Israel and so many Sunni Arab states, Bahrain, the UAE, Peace was breaking out across the Middle East, and the region was much more stable thanks to President Trump's leadership and those around him, like Secretary Mnuchin on the economic part of it, Secretary Pompeo working on the security part of it. | ||
| But it was President Trump's vision to sideline the Palestinian issue Compartmentalize that, silo it, deal with that separately, but start making peace elsewhere between Israel and her traditional enemies. | ||
| And knit together commercial relationships, business relationships, prosperity, overwhelm the naysayers. | ||
| And a thousand flowers bloom throughout the region because economic integration then would lead to greater stability and more peace. | ||
| That was the philosophy behind it. | ||
| The biggest piece of all was Saudi Arabia. | ||
| That was the linchpin. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Dr. Crowley on the other side. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| Hey, John Solomons, we need to get to John Solomon real quick. | ||
| A couple things. | ||
| John, you're dialed in on the intelligence side. | ||
| What about what happened in Saudi Arabia? | ||
| It's kind of odd. | ||
| You heard the rumors, particularly security guards being hit. | ||
| They very rarely come out with a formal statement. | ||
| What do you heard? | ||
| Yeah, well, I've been in contact with sources close to the royal family in Saudi Arabia, as well as U.S. | ||
| intelligence. | ||
| There are these skirmishes that go on, and sometimes the Houthis particularly try to turn them into propaganda and make it sound like they've done something bigger than they've actually achieved. | ||
| I'm told that the Saudi royal family has no knowledge of any attempt on the crown prince's life and that it's just a form of propaganda. | ||
| Now, that said, there's constant tensions. | ||
| And there are constant skirmishes going on, and so there's some truth to the clashing going on, but not a targeted attempt on the crown prince's life. | ||
| That's what I'm being told by people close to the Saudi family and from U.S. | ||
| intelligence. | ||
| Okay, John, yesterday you had a great analysis and a piece. | ||
| By the way, Julie Kelly, I think, is going to join us at five today. | ||
| Oh, she's done great work. | ||
| She's done amazing work. | ||
| I mean, the team of Fenton, you, Julie Kelly, Mike Davis, just extraordinary. | ||
| I'd like to see that formalized. | ||
| Number one, Jim Jordan took action last night. | ||
| Let's talk about after your interview and after your news story. | ||
| Going viral was your piece that this is bigger than Watergate and it's got to go back to the beginning in Ukraine and all of it. | ||
| Where do we stand? | ||
| Because I know that Jim Jordan and his staff hold you in very high regard. | ||
| Obviously they moved immediately upon you saying something. | ||
| So where are we? | ||
| Yeah, listen, Jim Jordan is going to dig into the handling of these documents. | ||
| And who handled them? | ||
| Why were they handled? | ||
| Why are they out of order? | ||
| Why was the court misled? | ||
| Those are great questions. | ||
| And each one of these anecdotes in and of themselves are not as compelling as looking at the eight to nine year record of an all of government assault on Donald Trump and his followers. | ||
| And so what really They can dig into this. | ||
| They'll get great details, like they've gotten great details on the Hunter Biden laptop. | ||
| We learned about Mike Morrell from Jim Jordan. | ||
| At the end of the day, they need to sit down this summer and hold Watergate-style hearings. | ||
| Hold hearings like Alfonso Amado did with Whitewater, like Fred Thompson did with the China scandals. | ||
| Those hearings were so impactful on the Clinton presidency because a council did the question, not the members. | ||
| The council did the question, developed the story for the American public to understand, and none of these events, which often get treated by Congress in isolation, are silo events. | ||
| They're part of a longer-term effort that began with Russia collusion and continue to jacksmith today. | ||
| It is incumbent upon Congress before this election, whether they do impeachment or not, To help people understand that the pattern that began with Russia repeated itself with Ukraine impeachment, repeated itself with the Hunter Biden laptop, repeated itself with each of the four prosecution attempts. | ||
| Why is the White House in contact with the Georgia prosecutors? | ||
| Why is the White House in contact with NARA? | ||
| Why was the White House telling NARA to sick the FBI on Donald Trump? | ||
| We have all of these details, but no one's put them together into the story that it is, which is there's been a whole of government effort, Democrats, the media, social media, John, where do they go to your news site, your podcast, your show here on Real America's Voice? | ||
| to pursue Donald Trump and his followers for a long time and often purvey radically | ||
|
unidentified
|
false stories on the American people. John where do they go to your news site | |
| your podcast your show here in Real America's Voice where do people get it | ||
| all? Just the news.com I follow you every night at 6 o'clock. | ||
| Always proud to do that here on Real America's Voice, Just the News, no noise. | ||
| And Jay Solomon reports on all of the social media handles. | ||
| And a big shout out to my amazing friend Monica Crowley, one of the smartest people I've ever met in my career. | ||
| The complete package, as we say. | ||
| A five-tool player in baseball. | ||
| John Solomon, thank you. | ||
| We got immediate results when we had you on here with Jim Jordan and the staff, so this thing's picking up momentum. | ||
| John Solomon. | ||
| In a maze of worms, Julie Kelly on at five. | ||
| You're the greatest living expert on Richard Nixon. | ||
| Yesterday, Solomon said that what we're dealing with in the whole of government approach against President Trump is to the 10th power what Watergate was. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| And thank John for that. | ||
| Those very kind words and you too, Steve. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Yeah, you know, I think I may be the only person to have worked for both men. | ||
| For both Richard Nixon in his final years and President Trump in the Treasury Department. | ||
| And you know, while they're very different men, Steve, obviously, you know, Nixon was an intellectual. | ||
| He was an introvert in an extrovert's profession. | ||
| And Trump is a completely different character. | ||
| The deep state assault on both men is the same. And so while the players come and go, people | ||
| die, they leave government, whatever, the institutional assault is exactly the same. So you have | ||
| to ask yourself why. First of all, they're both outsiders. Even though Nixon had been Eisenhower's | ||
| vice president for eight years, Richard Nixon was never accepted by the establishment, by | ||
| the deep state. | ||
| Never accepted by Eisenhower. | ||
| Right. By the way, what most people do not, right? That's true. What most people do not know, | ||
| even though Eisenhower warned against the threat of the military industrial complex, | ||
| what we now call the deep state, what most people don't know is that in Nixon's second term, Steve, | ||
| He was going to do exactly what we are going to do in Trump's second term, which is smash the administrative state. | ||
| He had the plan in place. | ||
| The person who inspired it to him was his dear friend, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Democrat of New York, who said to him, every generation, the entire executive branch needs to be pulled up root and branch. | ||
| Raised to the ground, totally reformed, because otherwise you get entrenched corruption. | ||
| And we have not had that literally since the end of World War II, when the executive branch was remade with the National Security Council. | ||
| You're going to stick around in the second hour. | ||
| The reason they hated Nixon Because Nixon, even more than McCarthy, really went after the Communists. | ||
| I mean McCarthy did a fantastic, Senator McCarthy did a fantastic job. | ||
| But they hated Nixon for that moment. | ||
| Alger Hiss. | ||
| Alger Hiss. | ||
| Proving the darling of the establishment. | ||
| Yale-educated, handsome, swanning through the halls of power. | ||
| Yalta and Potsdam. | ||
| Yalta and Potsdam. | ||
| Exactly right. | ||
| The reason this whole thing, they had Harry Dexter White that did the Bretton Woods. | ||
| You had actual Communist agents. | ||
| I think the question is still out there about Harry Hopkins. | ||
| The FDR's last term, not even last term, but it was infected with active communist agents, and it was Senator McCarthy and Richard Nixon. | ||
| Nixon as a congressman at first, that wouldn't back down. | ||
| Then when he became a senator. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's why they hated him. | ||
| And he took on a communist when he called people out when he was running. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| They had an irrational hatred of Nixon. | ||
| Like they have an irrational hatred at all. | ||
| Because he was trying to stop the Marxist infiltration and the rolling Marxist revolution that continues to this day to the point where we are now at the tipping point. | ||
| We are, real quick, I gotta go to break. | ||
| There's no doubt that this is kind of like the Mao Zedong cultural revolution on college campuses right now. | ||
| This is absolutely Maoist. | ||
| Playbook, playbook. | ||
| It's not Stalinist, it's Maoist. | ||
| Monica, Dr. Krause is going to stick around the second hour. | ||
| MTG is going to join us. | ||
| We've got Jim Rickards. | ||
| Man, it's a pretty heavyweight. | ||
| Patrick K. O'Donnell, the new book is out, Unvanquished. | ||
| I think it's number one because of the war room posse, the great combat historian. | ||
| We are packed in the second hour. | ||
