| New polling finds President Joe Biden and Donald Trump battling in every swing state, but Biden making up significant ground from just last month. | ||
| In the latest Bloomberg Morning Console poll, Trump leads in Arizona, Georgia. | ||
| North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Biden leads in Michigan. | ||
| But after the survey showed Trump up by eight points in Nevada last month, the new poll finds the two candidates tied. | ||
| Biden has also cut Trump's six-point lead in Georgia to three points and his four-point lead in Wisconsin to just one point, while making similar gains in Arizona and North Carolina, All of these results, Joe, are within the margin of error. | ||

Hi, Mika. | |
| I'm sorry, I feel like I'm not going to cheer you up after those rather gloomy poll numbers that were getting you down earlier. | ||
| I mean, there are a couple of ways to look at this. | ||
| There's one way, which is to look at Donald Trump and this whole debate, which frankly he started when he made those remarks, I think it was last year, about being a dictator on day one. | ||
| And we all go around in circles trying to figure out, you know, look at what he actually did when he was in office | ||
| last time around, look at some of the things he said. There are debates, good | ||
| debates, about what he'd really do. | ||
| But there's another way to look at that question, which is to depersonalise it and to take Trump out of the picture | ||
| and say, OK, if America were to elect somebody who were both malign | ||
| and competent, and I have real questions over whether Donald Trump is competent enough to pull this off, | ||
| But were that to happen, how strong are the checks and balances? | ||
| And there, there's mixed news, I've got to say. | ||
| There are some really substantial checks on presidential authority. | ||
| If you look at how dictatorships have functioned elsewhere, often a military coup is involved, that's impossible in America, I think. | ||
| You know, America's military is one of the strongest institutions in the country with deeply embedded democratic norms. | ||
| But then I think it's also the case you look at some of the formal checks on the presidency, and one of the things we've learned since 2016 is that they just don't work. | ||
| You know, impeachment is one of the biggest checks written into the Constitution. | ||
| As a restraint on tyranny, and we've had ample proof over the past few years that that just doesn't work. | ||
| And then, if you look down the list, there are a whole bunch of emergency powers that the president has, which somebody who is really determined, I think, could exercise to subvert important democratic norms in quite a worrying way. | ||
| So I'm not saying that Trump is going to do this, but I think somebody could. | ||
| Yeah John, I think one of the things that Trump taught all of us is that democracy is partly laws and it's partly norms and traditions and if you have a candidate who's willing to ignore those norms and traditions then the democracy gets put under threat. | ||
| One of the things that people talk about and that Trump campaign talks about openly wanting to do is under this provision of Schedule F it's called taking a whole group of civil servants who are non-political and making them effectively political appointees which could Change America's democracy not just for this presidency, the next presidency, but presumably for years and years and years to come. | ||
| Do you think he, we hear that the Trump campaign is sort of more organized and more efficient and has more of a plan. | ||
| Do you think it is up to the task of doing something like that and how much of a threat would that be to democracy? | ||
| It's definitely more organised than was the case prior to 2016. | ||
| I mean, I'm sure you've spoken to lots of the people I've spoken to, Katty, in MAGA-aligned think tanks and, you know, their plans there are quite well developed. | ||
| That said, the federal bureaucracy is a huge beast and, you know, you talk to people who've served in the White House, served in the administration, getting it to do anything is quite tough. | ||
| There are, you know, 25,000 odd lawyers in the federal government. | ||
| And so a Trump administration could come in really well organised with a really good, well not good, but you know, a determined, thorough plan. | ||
| And I think it would struggle to get all of these things done. | ||
| I don't think the federal bureaucracy, I don't think you can kind of wave a wand and make this stuff happen. | ||
| That said, you can undermine some really important norms and you can do a lot of stuff, right? | ||
| So I guess it depends. | ||
| You need to calibrate your degree of alarmism. | ||
| If you look way back, I think George Washington had a staff of four when he was president. | ||
| The federal bureaucracy has obviously grown a huge amount over the course of the 20th century. | ||
| It was interesting, the clips of FDR that we were watching a little earlier, Mika. | ||
| FDR did serve three terms, right? | ||
| Which is something that Donald Trump was sort of teasing us about the other day. | ||
| But the existence of that federal bureaucracy now, which isn't written into the Constitution, is a pretty important check, I think. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Well, just to counter your earlier statement, I don't feel good about this. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Work harder, everybody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
She's scared. | |
| I don't feel good about this as a candidate and with many members of the Republican Party who do not adhere to norms and have no boundaries. | ||
| Do not respect the law. | ||
| Do not respect human life. | ||
| Do not respect a woman's right to choose. | ||
| Do not respect, do not respect, do not respect. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's why they're going to lose. | |
| I do not feel good about this, so I hope you're right. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on this, people. | ||
| I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| It's Wednesday, 22 May, year of our Lord 2020. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| We are absolutely packed today, as we know you like it. | ||
| Okay, just to do a slight reset here so you understand the field of battle. | ||
| That's Morning Mika right there. | ||
| She's in Meltdown. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| You don't like it, baby, because you're losing. | ||
| In your defense of the, uh, and they're going to more and more extremes. | ||
| Why do we play, why do we make you eat your spinach first thing in the morning on a show? | ||
| Most shows will say, well, let's do something fun. | ||
| Let's do something. | ||
| It gets the artists engaged. | ||
| No, we either got morning Mika or Rachel Maddow every day. | ||
| Why? | ||
| You have to understand where the leaders of the information war, where their generals are pointing. | ||
| And right now it's quite obvious. | ||
| And this is why judge cannon, It's really being such a hero here. | ||
| The documents she let out yesterday, and Trump's team let out yesterday, and Julie Kelly went through about this raid on Mar-a-Lago, which, I don't care what people say, it was not a normal raid. | ||
| Everybody knew that. | ||
| And they went down there with lethal force. | ||
| They had a medic, they had a triage plan, they had a plan of how to get to a trauma center. | ||
| All of it, for a President of the United States, on some archives issue, which will all come out. | ||
| I think June 27th, 28th, 29th in a federal court in Miami when they put Jack Smith on trial. | ||
| Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland's husband, is the one that wrote the 3,000 or 4,000 or 5,000 word piece back in January, February about Donald Trump as the new Caesar. | ||
| And that he made the moral justification about Brutus and how he set the moral justification for the assassination of Donald Trump because he is going to be the American Caesar. | ||
| Right there you see, you know, all those folks, that's the Deep State's propaganda department. | ||
| They're panicked. | ||
| You know why they're panicked? | ||
| Because we're organized this time. | ||
| We're self-organizing at the precinct level. | ||
| You're taking over school boards. | ||
| We're ahead of the game no matter what they try to do. | ||
| Laura Loomer's going to be on here. | ||
| Nikki Haley trying to take over the delegates to the Republican National Convention. | ||
| Not going to work. | ||
| Got in front of you, Nikki. | ||
| Sorry about that. | ||
| But this Reyna Mar-a-Lago coupled with this morning, this is now the cover, the Economist. | ||
| Remember the Economist. | ||
| Is the news magazines, the people magazine of the party of Davos, of the World Economic Forum, of globalism, the Financial Times of London, the good old Financial Times right here, always at the top of the stack, right? | ||
| Financial Times of London and The Economist. | ||
| And why do we continue to harp on those? | ||
| Because that's the, that's, those are the big news sources for the globalists. | ||
| I mean, they think that New York Times is some provincial newspaper, right? | ||
| Some provincial tabloid. | ||
| And they have on their cover, guess what? | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| Caesar. | ||
| The end of America. | ||
| They are teeing up, understanding their defenses are crashing around them. | ||
| The lawfare is crashing. | ||
| The federal cases, the state cases. | ||
| They gotta round up more people. | ||
| Christine Bob's going to join us. | ||
| They're putting it out into the public the danger of Trump and the danger of the Trump movement. | ||
| Oh, by the way, that would be you, this audience. | ||
| You're the brown shirts. | ||
| They're putting this out there so they can justify what action they take later. | ||
| It's not going to work. | ||
| Morning, Mika. | ||
| We don't care if you got the sad eyes and you're, you know. | ||
| It's not working. | ||
| You're worried. | ||
| You're scared. | ||
| You are scared. | ||
| Donnie Deutch is scared. | ||
| We mock your fear. | ||
| We want you to fear. | ||
| It's going to be accountability. | ||
| We are taking apart the administrative state. | ||
| We're going to destroy the deep state and we're going to hold everybody responsible that put this republic in the situation it's in today. | ||
| Accountability. | ||
| Responsibility. | ||
| And that will come with authority. | ||
| The authority of Donald John Trump as the 47th President of the United States. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| It's happening and it's going to happen. | ||
| It's self-organizing at every level because people are disgusted. | ||
| They're repulsed by what you stand for. | ||
| They're repulsed by what you try to do to this country. | ||
| Disgusted. | ||
| Revulsion. | ||
| And you're going to have to deal with it. | ||
| But you're on notice now. | ||
| This thing of Caesar and Trump, you're teeing up to have a moral justification for his assassination. | ||
| And you saw the levels, and I don't want to hear these guys coming out, oh, I was an FBI guy, and this is just normal process. | ||
| He's the President of the United States, and it's an archives issue. | ||
| This is not a normal raid. | ||
| You wanted something to happen. | ||
| You came down looking for a fight. | ||
| Someone who knows us is Liz Harrington. | ||
| We have a new piece up on War Room. | ||
| I want, if Grace and Mo could be so kind, and Carly Bonet over at the Midnight Writer, Elizabeth at Our Telegram, everybody else, to push this hard. | ||
| Liz Harrington, you've written a piece about this very topic, ma'am. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Hey, good morning. | ||
| You know, one thing I have to disagree with is this actually is standard operating procedure for the FBI. | ||
| They've been doing it for quite some time, and they admitted in their statement in reaction to this that this is the normal operating procedure for all of our raids. | ||
| So we set you up And then we try to kill you. | ||
| They're admitting it. | ||
| Steve, this is exactly what they do. | ||
| They've done it to countless people in this country, and it takes President Trump to shine a light on all of this once again. | ||
| But they set this whole thing up. | ||
| This whole thing was a farce. | ||
| They're his personal presidential records. | ||
| They're his. | ||
| They come. | ||
| He was cooperating for months. | ||
| They come, set this in motion, try to do it in secret. | ||
| And you know, I might be wrong about this, but if I remember correctly, he was not supposed to be in New York that day. | ||
| He was supposed to be in Mar-a-Lago at the last minute he changed his plan. | ||
| So I think they were planning for President Trump to be there. | ||
| And they wanted something to happen because this is what they do. | ||
| Standard procedure, standard protocols. | ||
| They put trade advisors and leg irons at the airport in public and then throw them in prison. | ||
| They do pre-dawn raids and tip off CNN so you can watch it live. | ||
| How many associates, aides, lawyers have been raided by the FBI? | ||
| So can a dictatorship happen in America? | ||
| Yeah, you better believe it can happen because it's happening right now and it's a bunch of unelected bureaucrats no matter how much they try to dress it up in suits. | ||
| These are thugs. | ||
| This is what happens in a third world country. | ||
| And it's happening right here in the United States of America. | ||
| Thank God we still have some freedom and freedom of the press and we're getting this information out. | ||
| But it's happening before your eyes. | ||
| If you're just going to try to deny it, you're putting your head in the sand at this point. | ||
| Very powerful, and you're right. | ||
| We're dealing with a dictatorship right now, and we're going to overthrow it, so suck on that. | ||
| Dictatorship. | ||
| Deep state. | ||
| Administrative state. | ||
| Morning Meeker. | ||
| You're going to have the sad... Meeker, your face is going to be a lot sadder on the morning you take to do the show on the 6th of November. | ||
| Trust me. | ||

| Welcome back to the Tribe. | ||
| Fantastic work. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We have Laura Loomer. | ||

You've had no defections from the Republican right to trouble you. | |
| Where's the what you promised? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where the hell are the commissioners? | |
| Oh, my God. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| You... You lied to me, Mr. Lincoln. | ||
| You evaded my request for a denial that there is a confederate peace offer, because there is one! | ||
| We are absolutely guaranteed to lose the whole thing! | ||
| We don't need a goddamn abolition amendment! | ||
| Leave the constitution alone! | ||
| The peace commissioners appeared today or... | ||
| State by state you've been extra... | ||
| I can't listen to this anymore. | ||
| I can't accomplish a god damn thing of any human meaning or worth until we cure ourselves of slavery and end this pestilential | ||
| war. | ||
| And whether any of you or anyone else knows it, I know I need this! | ||
| This amendment is that cure! | ||
| We're stepped out upon the world stage now. | ||
| Now! | ||
| With the fate of human dignity in our hands! | ||
| Blood's been spilt to afford us this moment! | ||
| Now! | ||
| And you growl and heckle and dodge about like petty-fogging Tammany Hall hucksters. | ||
| See what is before you. | ||
| See the here and now. | ||
| That's the hardest thing. | ||
| The only thing that accounts. | ||
| Abolishing slavery by constitutional provision settles the fate for all coming time. | ||
| Not only of the millions now in bondage, but of unborn millions to come. | ||
| Two votes stand in its way. | ||
| These votes must be procured. | ||
| We need two yeses. | ||
| Three abstentions. | ||
| Four. | ||
| Four yeses and one more abstention and the amendment will pass. | ||
| You got a night and a day and a night and several perfectly good hours. | ||
| Now get the hell out of here and get them! | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But how? | ||
| Butterscotch man. | ||
| I am the President of the United States of America clothed in immense power! | ||
| You will procure me these votes? | ||
| Right there in Lincolns, I am the President of the United States, clothed in immense power. | ||

|
Bye. | |
| The writer, The Economist, mourning Mika, they should read their Constitution, they should understand their history. | ||
| They didn't have a problem with this when President Lincoln and he and Seward would admit, they called it the inherent powers of the Constitution, Became a warlord to defeat the Confederacy, keep this country united, and end slavery. | ||
| When you interpret the Constitution like President Lincoln did, and his right-hand man, Secretary of State Seward, who thought he should be president, you see right there. | ||
| So what's all the pettifogging about? | ||
| We're going to win massively. | ||
| We're going to take the Senate. | ||
| We're going to crease, you saw it at DeGrasse, we're going to crease the numbers in the House. | ||
| They just announced $121 million Congressional Leadership Fund. | ||
| $121 million just for House races. | ||
| Now remember, the donors put that money up don't want Trump, but they're getting Trump. | ||
| We're going to have the House. | ||
| We're going to have the Senate. | ||
| We're going to have the Presidency. | ||
| We're going to have the Supreme Court. | ||
| That's what they're melting down about. | ||
| Their coup failed. | ||
| Go back to the summer of love. | ||
| The coup failed, predicated upon the pandemic, quote-unquote, and the mail-in ballots. | ||
| The coup, the BLM, the summer of love, it failed. | ||
| The coup failed. | ||
| Why'd the coup fail? | ||
| Because of you, this audience. | ||
| You're rallying behind Trump in January, February, in March. | ||
| When he got back to Mar-a-Lago, those 100 days, that changed the direction of American history. | ||
| Who says that? | ||
| Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan at the New York Times, that brilliant piece they wrote a couple of months ago. | ||
| If Trump had genuflected to the Republican establishment and done what they wanted, we wouldn't be here. | ||
| We're on the cusp of the greatest comeback in the history of world politics. | ||
| World politics on the cusp of it that is why they are so frantic and that is why they're putting up these stories now about Caesar and Trump's a new Caesar and you know the the the book finish what we started you're the end of democracy although you're he's got an interview in Esquire he admits that you are little d democracy that what you've done you did this you had Trump's back And lawfare's crumbling. | ||
| Julie Kelly's down in Florida. | ||
| It's cratering around you. | ||
| You can see it. | ||
| They can see it. | ||
| That's why you can smell the fear every day over at MSNBC. | ||
| CNN's too out of it. | ||
| But you can smell the fear at the smart, demonic people on the left. | ||
| Look at Morning Mika. | ||
| Look at Rachel Maddow. | ||
| They understand what's going to happen. | ||
| And we're taking apart the administrative state and we're going to destroy the deep state. | ||
| Suck on that. | ||
| That's going to happen. | ||
| Don't care if you like it or don't like it. | ||
| Quite frankly, what you think and what you feel, we're totally indifferent to. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| When it comes to accountability for Andrew Weissman, it's going to matter, but that's a... that'll all get adjudicated in time. | ||
| Now it's about victory. | ||
| And we understand what you're doing. | ||
| You're trying to put Trump in harm's way. | ||
| Well, this movement stands between you and Trump. | ||
| So you want to get him, come and get it. | ||
| Because this is the warning you're going to have to have. | ||
| You're not going to take Trump out. | ||
| Trump is going to be the next President of the United States. | ||
| Just embrace it and live with it. | ||
| You think we're stupid of what you're doing now with the Kagan piece about Caesar and about, you know, Laura Loomer is going to join us in a minute on another topic, but she was the one, she and Posa were up In the outdoor theater, Shakespeare years ago, where they did Julius Caesar. | ||
| Guess who in modern dress? | ||
| Guess who was Caesar? | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| And they assassinated him right on stage. | ||
| Two standing ovations every night. | ||
| Two standing ovations every night. | ||
| That is the type of demons we're up against. | ||
| Look at what you guys are doing. | ||
| You're demonic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You hate Trump. | |
| You hate everything about Trump. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| the customs and norms of democracy, the customs and norms, you have to have customs and norms | ||
| just like... | ||
| Look at what you guys are doing! | ||
| You're demonic! | ||
| You hate Trump, you hate everything about Trump. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because this American citizens taking back the country to make America first and to make | ||
| American citizens first. | ||
| So don't bring on these BBC types. | ||
| It's also customs and traditions. | ||
| It has to be customs. | ||
| You people are pure evil. | ||
| You've tried to tee it up into the popular mind about the assassination of Trump and comparing him to Caesar and Shakespeare's play, which should be named Brutus. | ||
| Major Christina Bob, you've been at the forefront of this. | ||
| You were in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Give us your thoughts about that. | ||
| You were the lawyer down there. | ||
| President Trump was supposed to be there, got called away. | ||
| Their normal order of business, it was not normal because there had been months of negotiations about this. | ||
| There was no need. | ||
| It's totally unnecessary. | ||
| An armed raid on Mar-a-Lago is a desecration of the winter White House of the Trump administration. | ||
| Ma'am, your thoughts? | ||
| Well, my initial thought was I was shocked that there was more than one person who thought through this to the level of detail that they did and thought, yeah, that's appropriate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was nothing about that plan that was appropriate. | |
| Quite honestly, I don't think there was anything about the raid at that point that was appropriate. | ||
| But they went ahead and they went so far as to think, yeah, we want to do this so much that we're prepared to use violence if we need to. | ||
| I thought, I was shocked yesterday when I saw that news. | ||
| I thought it was incredibly disturbing. | ||
| Talk to me about your arraignment. | ||
| By the way, are you finished your arraignment? | ||
| You didn't spend the night in jail? | ||
| You're a free woman? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I did not spend the night in jail. | |
| I just wanted to look nice for your show, Steve, and this was the only dress I brought, so I had to wear the same one. | ||
| Tell us about this. | ||
| You're head of, correct me if I'm wrong, you're head of election integrity at the RNC, are you not, ma'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am, yep. | |
| Interesting, what's funny about that is in February, I received a written notification from the Arizona Attorney General's office that they wanted me to come to Arizona to testify before the grand jury. | ||
| They specifically said in writing, I was not under investigation by the grand jury. | ||
| They reached out to my attorney. | ||
| My attorney reached out to them, actually, and said, you know, what is this? | ||
| What are you trying to do? | ||
| And they said, she's not under investigation. | ||
| We just want to talk to her, just have her come in, which, you know, I declined. | ||
| And then a few weeks later, I was named a senior counsel at the RNC for election integrity. | ||
| And then a few weeks after that, they indicted me. | ||
| So, I'll let you let you decide if I was indicted for getting a new job. | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| There's no coincidences. | ||
| So tell me, is this pressure going to break you? | ||
| They're trying to break you right now. | ||
| You're one of the leaders of this movement. | ||
| You're clearly one of the leaders, because they're trying to get to the lawyers. | ||
| They want to take out John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Boris Epstein, Rudy Giuliani, all of them. | ||
| Is this going to break you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not going to break me, and I don't think it's going to break anybody else involved. | |
| They've been doing this so much that I think everybody that's left, everyone that's still standing, that they're trying to take out, Has pretty much solidified their position, and nobody's caving. | ||
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| You can talk to the other defendants, but I don't think anyone's caving. | ||
| I think this is a very united front. | ||
| I'm very much looking forward to the motions practice in this case. | ||
| I think we can expect some really kind of fun arguments coming out of this. | ||
| I think it's an incredibly weak indictment. | ||
| But, no, what the Democrat Party has successfully done, and you actually have done a fantastic job of kind of honing this on the MAGA side, They have given backbones to the Republican Party that did not have backbones before. | ||
| For decades, the Republican Party has been weak and impotent and impish and cowardly, and we've finally gotten to a point where we've whittled down to the real fighters who are left, and we're ready to fight. | ||
| That's right, the original gangsters. | ||
| Led by Major Christina Bob. | ||
| Major, where do people get your social media? | ||
| Follow you on this and every other topic about not letting them steal the 2024 election, which is this is all about, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep, my social media handle is at Christina underscore Bob. | |
| You can get my book on Amazon or anywhere books are sold, Stealing Your Vote, the inside story of the 2020 election and what it means for 2024. | ||
| If you're interested in all the supposed criminal exploits, I wrote a book about it. | ||
| And thank you, Steve Bannon, for writing the intro. | ||
| Thank you, ma'am. | ||
| You're a tough one. | ||
| Tough and smart. | ||
| That's MAGA of the future. | ||

| We can fit some more people in, plus the live stream. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| We're live streaming everything from noon, take a break from five to six, and the dinner at seven to nine with Congressman Byron Donalds from Florida. | ||
| And we have Scott Besant from Square Capital in New York. | ||
| We also have Sally Kumar from Chicago. | ||
| And the purpose of this conference, Steve, and you spoke at one of our conferences a few years ago, is to bring together the top Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Indian conservative entrepreneurs and find a way and a role for them to play in MAGA and also helping President Trump get reelected. | ||
| If we can penetrate the Black and minority entrepreneurs, Steve, President Trump will get well in excess of 25% of the black vote. | ||
| Not the male vote, the black vote. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Reynard, one more time, where do people go to your website to find out all the information about the speakers, the list of speakers for the live stream, and if they can attend in person? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, they can go to blackamericansforabetterfuture, B-A-F-B-F dot org. | |
| And we're at the Washington Hilton on Capitol Hill, 525 New Jersey Avenue in Washington, D.C. | ||
| And they can watch it on live stream from noon all the way through this evening's program with Congressman Byron Donald. | ||
| And Steve, you're going to be our anchor speaker this afternoon. | ||
| So you want to hear it? | ||
| So read me to a group of black conservatives. | ||
| Listen to Bennett's speech about two o'clock. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Thank you for the invite. | ||
| Looking forward to it. | ||
| Laura Loomer. | ||
| Laura, before I get to the business at hand, which you've been tweeting about, it's quite amazing. | ||
| I've got to ask you about this whole open about Caesar, the cover of The Economist, the Kagan piece. | ||
| You were there at the very beginning. | ||
| I think this was 2018, might have been 2019. | ||
| You attended this, the Shakespeare in the Park. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was 2017. | |
| 17. | ||
| In Trump's first year, walk me through that, what you saw at the time. | ||
| Well, there was the New York City Public Theater, and of course they were putting on this rendition of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare's play, of course, and they had Caesar as President Trump, and they had Caesar's wife as a Melania. | ||
| You know, they had, it was very obvious, the theatrics that they used, you know, with the Eastern European accent and Cesar pretty much had, you know, kind of this orange tint to him and the comb over and, you know, it was very, there was no room for debate as to whether or not this was Donald Trump. | ||
| And the people, of course, they had this very modern version of it where the people who ended up stabbing Cesar A.K.A. | ||
| President Trump in this play, were all Women's March protesters and Black Lives Matter protesters because they wanted to make it more of like a modern rendition of, I guess, like modern political affairs. | ||
| And so I got really sick and tired of watching every single commentator on Fox News just complain about this play. | ||
| And I thought to myself, well, at the time I was living in New York and I said, if people are so sick and tired of this play, then why don't we just go shut it down? | ||
| So I ended up purchasing a ticket from a ticket scalper. | ||
| I arrived at Central Park at four o'clock in the morning so that I could be there first, and I waited in the park all day, and I got a ticket, and I stormed the stage, and I got arrested by the NYPD. | ||
| And it's probably one of my proudest moments, getting handcuffed in support of President Trump for shutting down that play and ruining their assassination porn live for everybody to see. | ||
| Unfortunately, right, we have a lack of courage in the Republican Party. | ||
| A lot of people just don't want to call these things out. | ||
| Kagan, of course, is married to Victoria Nuland of the State Department. | ||
| So this is very dangerous. | ||
| This isn't just, you know, some rabid leftist reporter at the Washington Post essentially greenlighting an assassination attempt against President Trump by equating him to Julius Caesar. | ||
| He's married to the color revolution queen at the State Department, Victoria Nuland. | ||
| I think that people need to start taking this messaging a lot more serious, especially now with the report that just came out yesterday from these newly released documents as it relates to the Mar-a-Lago raid that shows that the Biden DOJ essentially authorized the assassination of President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Okay, Lars, so right there, they're going to jump in. | ||
| They go, this is normal process, normal course of business. | ||
| Loomers, crazy. | ||
| Bannon's crazy. | ||
| MTG. | ||
| All these people are saying this. | ||
| Back that up for a second. | ||
| You're quite logical. | ||
| What do you say when they authorize and greenlit the assassination or the potential assassination of President Trump? | ||
| Why would you need to—when you have lawyers, as Christina Bobb just said, that were in compliance and were happy to engage with the FBI and happy to have a conversation with the DOJ in a peaceful, nonviolent manner, why did they even need to escalate this to a raid? | ||
| They did it for a show because they wanted the optics of, you know, the documents which they've admitted to distorting and, you know, the way that they took these photographs to, you know, make it look like a crime scene, to make it look like President Donald Trump was a criminal. | ||
| It's all for theatrics. | ||
| It's all for show, okay? | ||
| When I say they greenlit the assassination of President Trump, you see in the documents it says, authorize the use of deadly force, as Julie Kelly pointed out yesterday. | ||
| Why would you need to use deadly force on somebody that was willing to have a peaceful, non-violent conversation with you? | ||
| It's obscene and it's intended to plant a seed in people's minds. | ||
| And President Trump is 100% right in his Truth Social post from yesterday when he said that Joe Biden is a threat to democracy and we need to enact the 25th Amendment. | ||
| Before, by the way, they had a medic, they had a triage plan, they had a trauma center lined up, 18 miles, how they get there, the whole thing. | ||
| The whole thing was lined up. | ||
| They were looking for a fight. | ||
| We don't care if they like us or not. | ||
| They were looking for a fight. | ||
| They were hoping something untoward would happen. | ||
| Laura, you've been all over. | ||
| I want to alert the audience because people don't remember the dark days of 2016 around the convention in Cleveland of the fiasco that was the first couple of days. | ||
| I think you've been the first and only person on this about Nikki Haley because we keep seeing these primaries. | ||
| Nikki Haley keeps getting 15, 18 percent of the vote. | ||
| Is there a plot going on right now, ma'am? | ||
| Do you believe there's a plot going on for Nikki Haley and Rhino Republicans to use the rules, to use committees, to use all these, because these conventions are quite complicated, to basically steal the Republican nomination from President Trump and have her on Thursday, I think the 18th, take the stage and give the address as the Republican nominee, ma'am? | ||
| Well, they certainly are fantasizing about it. | ||
| I think that the likelihood that it would actually happen, that you would have a successful brokered convention, is highly unlikely. | ||
| That doesn't mean that they're not going to take advantage of the optics of Perhaps staging a coup or taking steps to try to convince people that there is going to be a brokered convention like we saw in 2016 when the Ted Cruz's and the Ken Cuccinelli's tried to steal the nomination from President Trump. | ||
| And I want to remind everybody that that's the team that Ron DeSantis chose. | ||
| As his presidential campaign. | ||
| So, you know, Ron DeSantis, a lot of people want to say, oh, we got to forgive Ron DeSantis. | ||
| We have to forgive Nikki Haley and we have to unite. | ||
| Well, when Ron DeSantis decides to actually show up outside the courthouse and support President Trump, instead of just pretending like he does because his wife is going to run for governor of Florida, then maybe we can have a conversation about that. | ||
| But until then, everybody should be hypercritical and on alert for tricks by Team DeSantis and Team Nikki Haley. | ||
| The other day, I was able to flag this. | ||
| I'm surprised other people didn't pick this up. | ||
| Nikki Haley's brother, who some people want to say he's a loose cannon, he actually is an executive, okay? | ||
| He holds the federal government contracts and is in charge of the federal government contracts, Steve, for Johnson & Johnson, major pharmaceutical company. | ||
| So he's not a stupid guy. | ||
| He knows what he's doing. | ||
| He posts a photo of himself, and you can get the photo up on the screen for your viewers to see. | ||
| And he said that Nikki Haley for president is going to be heading to Milwaukee, OK? | ||
| Well, what's in Milwaukee? | ||
| Milwaukee, of course, in July is where the RNC convention is going to be taking place. | ||
| And I think that they're trying to disrupt the convention, whether that's planning a coup or trying to create a brokered convention. | ||
| As I said before, I don't think that they could be successful in it. | ||
| I certainly think, though, that they're trying to. | ||
| And then when I shot back and I said in my tweet there, Are they planning a coup against President Trump? | ||
| Mitzi Randhaha, her brother, actually replied to me, and he said, he said, yup, what the actual hell, deal with it, it's happening, sis. | ||
| And I can confirm this morning prior to coming on your show, sources within the Trump campaign | ||
| have actually told me that three of Nikki Haley's top advisors and the top people within | ||
| her campaign were actually contacted by President Trump's senior advisors about this tweet and | ||
| messaging from her brother. | ||
| And two of the three intentionally, deliberately ignored Team Trump. | ||
| And one of the senior advisors, these are not low-level staffers, OK? | ||
| These are the people who ran Nikki Haley's presidential campaign. | ||
| Only one of the three replied to one of President Trump's senior advisors and made a snarky | ||
| reply like, oh, well, I'm sure that some of the Trump children and members of the Trump | ||
| family have done the same to Nikki. | ||
| So essentially, they are aware. | ||
| That is confirmation that Nikki Haley's campaign is not only aware of the messaging being put out by her brother about disrupting the convention, but they are also sanctioning this type of behavior because they could have easily told her brother to delete the post. | ||
| But instead, they decided to be snarky about it and confirm that they're aware of it, but they just don't give a damn. | ||
| No, no, no, no. | ||
| They've doubled down. | ||
| And according to your reporting right there, that's a big scoop. | ||
| They tripled down. | ||
| They're not ashamed of it. | ||
| They're doubling down and tripling down. | ||
| They're in your face now. | ||
| What are you going to do about it? | ||
| Right? | ||
| There's something brewing here. | ||
| We're going to get details because it's very complicated about credentials and all that, as you know, but we'll drill down. | ||
| Laura, where do people go for your podcast? | ||
| Where do they go for all your content and particularly keep up with you on social media? | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| So you can follow me for all my exclusive updates and reports and investigative reporting | ||
| on X and True Social, Getter and Gab at Laura Loomer. | ||
| My website is loomerd.com, loomerd.com, where you can read all of my investigative reports. | ||
| And be sure that you subscribe to my Rumble channel, rumble.com slash Laura Loomer. | ||
| Every Tuesday and Thursday, I have a show. | ||
| It's called Loomer Unleashed. | ||
| And this Thursday, so tomorrow, my special guest is going to be Corey Lewandowski, President | ||
| Trump's former campaign manager, who as news reports just broke this morning, is now back, | ||
| I guess, helping with the RNC and the conventions. | ||
| So, I'm looking forward to talking to Corey Lewandowski about this possible coup, right? | ||
| Possible coup by Nikki Haley and Nikki Haley's presidential team. | ||
| So, you're going to want to tune in to Loomer Unleashed tomorrow, 8 p.m. | ||
| Eastern Live. | ||
| Well, we look forward to seeing that. | ||
| Laura, thank you so much. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Yeah, thanks for having me on. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Laura Loomer, always on the offense. | ||
| Right there, this Nikki Haley thing, whether you pull it off or not, it was Bill McGinley and Reince Priebus. | ||
| And that stopped it. | ||
| In 16, people don't remember. | ||
| I shouldn't say don't remember. | ||
| That's not fair. | ||
| It was never fully disclosed of how serious this thing was in 16. | ||
| It was a lot more serious than you could even see in the foreground. | ||
| And you saw the fiasco on the first day and then with Ted Cruz's speech and everything like that and Cuccinelli and Mike Lee and others, right, at the time. | ||
| But it was much more serious than that, much more serious. | ||
| This took a lot of work and a lot of planning and a lot of deep thought to stop it. | ||
| And, you know, I'm not saying this could happen. | ||
| I think there's all kind of complexity, but I don't think you bring Corey Back unless you know you got a problem, you know, he's kind of a fixer right? | ||
| He's a he's a tough guy. | ||
| So Something's up. | ||
| We're going to stay on top of it and they're talking remember they're they're they're criticizing you every day. | ||
| Oh maga You know, it doesn't want to bring people together. | ||
| We're saying hey bring them together You know, we've still got big disagreements and big fights but got to take the house got to take the senate Have to take the white house the the the congressional Leadership Fund just announced $121 million. | ||
| I told you this was going to happen. | ||
| It was going to be north of $100 million. | ||
| I told you. | ||
| I told you. | ||
| Because this is their cover bet. | ||
| They take the house. | ||
| They take the Senate. | ||
| Stephen Law, he ain't sharing that money. | ||
| You think they're calling Royce Wright right now and saying, hey, how can we fuse cash into that Minnesota race? | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| ABC News is linking to an Associated Press story. | ||
| Moms for Liberty, $3 million in in battleground states to drive their membership and awareness of what's happening at the schools. | ||
| We have Tiffany and Tina join us. | ||
| Tiffany Justice, tell me what this is about because the media is in kind of meltdown right now. | ||
| They sure are. | ||
| We are undertaking a national campaign working to add tens of thousands to our grassroots membership between now and the November elections in key states. | ||
| You know, Steve, this effort is supported by thousands of donors across the United States who believe that there should be more parental involvement in children's education across America. | ||
| Tina, you join us also. | ||
| Deskovich, they're really melting down because I'm not so sure they're melting down about the scale of it and the focus on parents because they say you guys normally focus on on the parental rights issues of school boards that you support. | ||
| They're most, I think, triggered because of where you're doing this. | ||
| They turn out to be randomly battleground states. | ||
| So why is that? | ||
| Well, Steve, you tell me why that is. | ||
| I did the interview with the AP the other day and the questions kept coming back. | ||
| Why these states? | ||
| Why these states? | ||
| I said, well, we're trying to grow everywhere. | ||
| But these states are very important states. | ||
| You know, in Georgia, for example, where we launched this week, billboards across the state. | ||
| saying that there are only two sexes and we're not going to lie to our children about that | ||
| Is an important state for many reasons, but as we only have seven chapters there | ||
| We have a lot of work to do there whether moms for liberty chapters parents are more empowered | ||
| Schools perform better and the change starts to happen that needs to happen. And so, you know, we've identified states | ||
| Is this Tiffany let me go to you for a second | ||
| Is this issue still as hot as it was? | ||
| The left every night, you know, this came out, the book that you took on the other day, and we had then Lee Womsk on, take on about Texas, that they came for the schools. | ||
| The left is sitting there right now saying we beat back the right-wing heritance of Moms for Liberty and the Moms for America. | ||
| And so it's not as hot as it was. | ||
| It won't be that big a deal for the presidential election. | ||
| Do you agree with that? | ||
| I absolutely don't agree with that. | ||
| Here's the thing, Steve. | ||
| Only 20 percent of our membership wasn't registered to vote when they were joining us. | ||
| That's tens of thousands of people. | ||
| In many cases, their spouses aren't registered to vote. | ||
| And so voter registration is a huge part of our campaign. | ||
| We're focusing on energizing voters, getting people registered to vote, so they can use their voice in this next election cycle. | ||
| Title IX, as Tina said, we will not lie to our children. | ||
| There are men and there are women. | ||
| And sending our kids to school and having them pretend like they-them is a thing is not going to happen. | ||
| And so, no. | ||
| I think these — the Biden administration continues to overreach into our lives, into our families, that it's really up to parents to draw the boundary between school and home. | ||
| But I think all of America is going to help us to draw that boundary now, Steve, because the Biden administration has lost their mind, honestly. | ||
| These new Title IX regs are energizing people all over the country. | ||
| Tina, when you talk about the Title IX, and you guys are at the tip of the spear of that fight, the union heads come on, Rachel Maddow and Joanne Reed, every couple of days and spike the football. | ||
| They said, hey, you guys took your best shot, but the teachers' unions actually won, and this game's essentially over. | ||
| Who's correct, Tina? | ||
| Oh, the teachers' unions are never correct. | ||
| We know that, Steve, for every level. | ||
| They've been at this for decades. | ||
| They have hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| But we are scrapped. | ||
| And we are working to advance. | ||
| And we're going on the offense now, finally, with this investment that we're putting in our organization | ||
| to grow chapters, to grow members, to have an impact. | ||
| Tiffany mentioned that 20% of our members initially aren't even registered to vote. | ||
| Well, we recently took a sampling of our membership, modeled, laid it over and modeled and looked at that data. | ||
| Not only did we learn that, we learned that over half of our membership | ||
| doesn't really vote, even that are registered to vote. | ||
| They have voted, I think, one time in the last eight years in a primary election. | ||
| And so, you know, this game is not over. | ||
| We say all the time, we are just getting started. | ||
| And we really mean, we are just getting started. | ||
| Tina, social media, where do people go to get Moms4Liberty and you? | ||
| Where do they find you? | ||
| Yeah, we are everywhere. | ||
| Moms4Liberty on X, on Facebook, on Instagram, on LinkedIn now. | ||
| You don't want to hear this, I'm sure, because it's Chinese-owned, but we've got a kid now here for the summer who's going to be helping us out on TikTok because they attack us on TikTok day and night and we haven't been there to fight back. | ||
| So we're going to even try that out for a little while. | ||
| Got to fight back. | ||
| Got to fight back. | ||
| Tiffany, where do people go for your social media? | ||
| Yeah, go to momsforliberty.org and then I want you to text 53445 right now. | ||
| Text 53445. | ||
| Join us in this fight for liberty. | ||
| We are working to raise $500,000. | ||
| We're going to be able to match that through text. | ||
| We have a donor that's helping us to do that. | ||
| So let's raise some money and let's Really safeguard the future of America for our children. | ||
| They are counting on us. | ||
| And you know, I know many people say that elections are important and this next election is going to be one of the most important in our generation. | ||
| We truly believe that at Moms for Liberty and our kids are counting on us. | ||
| So again, text 53445. | ||
| Thank you, Tina. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Tiffany, thank you. Tina, thank you. | ||
| Liberty at 53445. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Liberty at 53445. | ||
| Okay, we'll get it. | ||
| We'll get it up. | ||

| It's a fourth turning. | ||
| It is a fourth turning. | ||
| Hedge your bets. | ||
| Go talk to Philip Patrick and the team at birchgold.com slash ban and do it today. | ||
| Gavin Wax, you talk about black entrepreneurs, minority entrepreneurs today. | ||
| You got the Moms for Liberty coming in hard to 121 million dollars for the Congressional | ||
| Leadership Fund. | ||
| Most explosive news of the day. | ||
| South Bronx, Gavin Wax. | ||
| Are they going to try to shut you guys down, Gavin Wax? | ||
| President Trump. | ||
| I think that's the yes, Steve. | ||
| I think that's the plan. | ||
| It's pathetic. | ||
| I mean, it really shows how scared they are of President Trump's visit. | ||
| They're trying to shut down subways. | ||
| I heard they were trying to organize a protest that actually didn't materialize today, but | ||
| they're going to try to do some counter demonstrations. | ||
| In the park. | ||
| I think they're very worried that their entire narrative is going to be shattered this week when President Trump opens up in the South Bronx, a historic rally, maybe 10, 15, even more, 15,000 plus people attend this rally. | ||
| We're seeing a groundswell of support like we've never seen for a Republican. | ||
| This is certainly not friendly territory for a traditional Republican, but President Trump is not a traditional Republican. | ||
| And I think you have the entire Democrat establishment in New York scared up in arms. | ||
| They don't know how to counter this. | ||
| Their entire narrative is falling apart before their very eyes, but I think this just goes to show that President Trump is willing to push the envelope, expand the message, expand the base, expand the coalition to areas that we never once thought possible. | ||
| Gavin, hang on for a second. | ||
| We have a 90-second break. | ||
| I want to bring you back to the top of the hour. | ||
| Okay, I want folks to frame this. | ||
| In 2017, they did Julius Caesar's Shakespeare in the Park. | ||
| With Cesar played by Donald, was Donald Trump a figure? | ||
| Blue suit, red power tie, white shirt, blonde hair, Melania as Cesar's wife. | ||
| Today, or tomorrow, we're going to have in the Bronx 10,000 to 15,000 people in South Bronx there to support Donald John Trump. | ||
| 90-second break. |
