Trump's big Bronx rally. | |
| Crowds are pouring in, you got thousands of people. | ||
| We are in the Bronx today, and I do think the Bronx is going to show up for | ||
| Donald Trump. | ||
| These people up here want change. | ||
| Biden's bringing us down, man. | ||
| The only man capable to make those changes, and he will make those changes, | ||
| is Donald Trump. | ||
| 50% of the people in this area live below the federal poverty line. | ||
| You like what you see going on in the city? | ||
| No, no, my city's upside down. | ||
| Democrats let the people down? | ||
| Sure, look at Ocasio-Cortez. | ||
| These people are furious. | ||
| They feel like the Democrats have taken them for granted all this time. | ||
|

|
Biden's support among minorities isn't just eroding because of failed policies, but because more people are waking up and seeing how much of a liar he really is. | |
| The biggest issue right now is the border. | ||
| You got a mass invasion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Especially here in New York City. | |
| They go to the big cities. | ||
| The great American cities are really struggling right now under the weight of what Biden's done at the border. | ||
| And it's palpable. | ||
| Crime is raised at least 160%. | ||
| I get gunshots on my block. | ||
| On a weekly basis. | ||
| We need to make America safe again. | ||
| Donald Trump, the number one president. | ||
| We love you. | ||
| We need you. | ||
| Come save us. | ||
| Save us from the crime. | ||
| Save us from the criminals. | ||
| People from every race and color. | ||
| The Bronx needs help. | ||
| The people have seen the past three and a half years and they are ready for a change. | ||
| Dominicans and black people in the streets cheering for Trump. | ||
| I love you, Donald. | ||
| I would love to be able to shake your hand. | ||
| Here to see Trump. | ||
| He's coming to the Bronx. | ||
| I had to come. | ||
| He's the greatest president in my lifetime. | ||
| I think everybody's going red. | ||
| We've wanted for a long time somebody that's warrior enough to go to South Bronx. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Donald Trump coming out here and showing that he cares about the community and he wants his message to be heard because we've been dealt a terrible hand of cards by the Democratic Party for a very, very long time. | |
| Minorities from the Bronx all fed up and pissed off. | ||
| We're going to listen to the 45th President of the United States. | ||
| Well, hello everybody. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| This is some turnout. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right here in the Bronx. | |
| I'm here tonight to declare that we are going to turn New York City around and we are going to turn it around very, very quickly. | ||
| We're going to bring safety back to our streets. | ||
| We're going to bring success back to our schools. | ||
| We're going to bring prosperity back to every neighborhood and every borough of the greatest city in our land. | ||
| We're going to reduce taxes. | ||
| We're going to bring businesses and big taxpayers back to New York. | ||
| We're going to make New York bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever before. | ||
| And that includes right here in the Bronx, and it's going to be done and funded starting on January 20th, directly from our great and beautiful White House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What do you make of Donald Trump's outreach? | |
| I think the Democrats ignore Trump's outreach to minority voters at their peril. | ||
| Trump knows how to trigger people. | ||
| He knows what speaks to people, what gets them out. | ||
| Now, I can't say that all of those people are from the Bronx. | ||
| I'm very suspicious that the majority of those people were voters in the Bronx. | ||
| But he is doing something that is speaking to the hearts and minds of minority voters. | ||
| And I hope that Democrats, you know, don't put our heads in the sand. | ||
| Even if it's not, I mean, you know, chances are he's not going to get a lot of electoral votes, he's not going to win electoral votes in the state of New York, but this message, this idea could be seen in other places, the idea that he's reaching out. | ||
| He went to the Boogie Down Bronx, you know, a place that set the entire world, changed the culture for the entire world through hip hop. | ||
| He didn't go there by mistake. | ||
| He went there because he knows if you go to the Bronx, it's a message that it's a place that resonates with people, particularly African American people. | ||
| So if they see that, you know, it's going to weigh more in our community. | ||
| So, you know, like I said, I hope the Democrats are not turning a blind eye and just dismissing these groups of voters as, you know, as castoffs. | ||
| What would be the point of Donald Trump going to the Bronx and bigging up Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un in a place he could never win? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Bronx is full of black and Latino folk and he's not fond of those. | |
| Right. | ||
| But you said it yourself in your question. | ||
| He's not going to win New York. | ||
| He's not going to win the Bronx. | ||
| But that audience is not the Bronx. | ||
| The audience is everyone else in states that he could possibly win. | ||
| And what he tries to do, and there's no downside for him to do this, by the way, what he's trying to do is just signal to other people, signal to people in swing states who are white, who don't want to be Thought of as voting for racist to soften the ground and say, well, maybe not such a racist also to maybe shave off a couple of percentage points among blacks and Hispanics. | ||
| Also, people who look at it and say, I don't want to vote for a racist and they say, well, maybe he's not as racist as they say that he is. | ||
| This is signaling to other people has nothing to do with New York has nothing to do with the Bronx. | ||
| I mean, there are a lot of people not happy with President Biden on the Democratic side among black voters, Latino voters. | ||
| He could make inroads very possibly. | ||
| He can make inroads because he's using the language and speaking to people in a way that they received. | ||
| I think Democrats, we have to do a better job messaging the wins of the Biden administration. | ||
| And there are many. | ||
| You don't think the Biden administration has done a good enough job reaching out to voters? | ||
| Or do you think they're taking voters for granted? | ||
| I think the Democratic Party, unfortunately, has a track record of taking some voters, some voter blocks for granted, and I hope that that doesn't happen now. | ||
| But, you know, as I said before, Trump has a way of keying into people's, you know, the things that make them angry, how they feel like they're being taken advantage of, and when he speaks to people who feel that they should be doing better in life and Scapegoat immigrants, for example. | ||
| You know, he's giving them, you know, a common enemy. | ||
| He's speaking to them in a way that says, you know, if Biden would only do something about this group that's taking advantage of you, you'd have that job that you want. | ||
| Is it true? | ||
| No, it's not true. | ||
| But he doesn't mind spewing falsehoods if it means that it sways voters. | ||
| And he doesn't have to sway all of them. | ||
| He just has to get, you know, marginally more than he did before. | ||
| And he puts Biden in danger. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these 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 line? | ||

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

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| It's Friday, May 24th, the Year of Our Lord 2024. | ||
| We are officially kicking off Memorial Day weekend. | ||
| Of course, you know that we treat Memorial Day a little different than other folks. | ||
| It is the highest civic holiday we have, our Memorial Day special. | ||
| Patrick K. O'Donnell will be joining me for that special we've done now, I think, for 10 years about our honored dead. | ||
| We're walking through the Tomb of the Unknown and Arlington National Cemetery and the battles that all led up to our honored dead in Arlington, so don't miss that. | ||
| Tomorrow, also a weekend special, packed wall-to-wall, and also throughout the day today, I would be remiss to not start with Bronx. | ||
| That was called a flex. | ||
| That's a full flex. | ||
| President Trump had a show of force yesterday. | ||
| This is to counter what's going on in lower Manhattan. | ||
| Lower Manhattan are the lackeys that report to the ruling elite, the minorities that have sold out other minorities to report to the man and take the man's money. | ||
| What you saw in Bronx yesterday was a self-organizing, incredible show of force. | ||
| And here's what's most important. | ||
| There's a great tweet out about this. | ||
| I'll get it to my team to get up later. | ||
| Donald Trump did not pander to that audience. | ||
| He didn't point out enemies. | ||
| He didn't bemoan their fate. | ||
| He didn't say the government was going to come. | ||
| He didn't promise a bunch of government programs. | ||
| It was a pure MAGA speech. | ||
| That speech could be given in Ohio or Iowa. | ||
| Arkansas, Texas, Wisconsin, anywhere, Florida, Arizona, and they couldn't get enough of it. | ||
| Yesterday, that was a historic, and I want to thank Gavin Wax, and of course, Jason Miller and the others over at the campaign, but Gavin Wax and the New York Young Republican Club, Vish Burra, those folks, they pitched this at the gala last year. | ||
| Came off without a flaw. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| But here's the takeaway. | ||
| I keep repeating this and repeating this and repeating this. | ||
| Two-thirds to 75% of this nation right now are MAGA. | ||
| They want to put America first and they want to put American citizens first. | ||
| That's the big takeaway also from yesterday. | ||
| They don't want illegal immigration into this country. | ||
| They don't want the invasion. | ||
| They don't want more government handouts. | ||
| They don't want more federal involvement in their lives. | ||
| They want freedom and liberty and opportunity. | ||
| That's MAGA right there. | ||
| It was a historic, historic, historic day. | ||
| And President Trump, not one line of pandering to anybody. | ||
| You show me another politician in this country that would do that. | ||
| Because that's his natural instinct. | ||
| That's his default position. | ||
| And we're going to get into it later. | ||
| Hey, the dark clouds of neoliberal neocon are all on the horizon. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| We're winning. | ||
| We're winning because of what you put on your shoulders. | ||
| We're winning because of your efforts. | ||
| But I asked Mark Paglioletta, and we're going to connect some dots here, we're going to do a hard weld here. | ||
| But Paglioletta, you have argued for years with facts and receipts about one of the greatest Americans in our country's history and one of our greatest, if not our greatest living American, next to President Trump, be Justice Thomas. | ||
| Believe what Justice Thomas believes, and what Justice Thomas believes is basically conservative principles. | ||
| Am I incorrect on that, Mark Paoletta? | ||
| Steve, spot on. | ||
| Thanks for having me on. | ||
| You know, I've been writing about this for a long time. | ||
| Justice Thomas, right, his views on school choice, on affirmative action, on abortion, late-term abortions, on defund the police on voter ID. | ||
| All of those issues, Steve, Black Americans, poll after poll after poll, | ||
| have shown that they agree with Clarence Thomas on those issues, right? | ||
| And the great crime, the great grift, is that the leadership, | ||
| the liberal Black leadership groups, like the NAACP, they oppose these issues, like school choice, | ||
| like voter ID, like in support of defund the police, right? | ||
| the police, right? | ||
| What an unbelievable day. | ||
| I completely agree with you. | ||
| President Trump going into the Bronx and being authentic. | ||
| That's what it's about. | ||
| With respect to Justice Thomas, that's exactly right. | ||
| His views, his independent views, are actually the views of most black Americans. | ||
| And the left and the leadership groups, like the NAACP, don't want you to know that. | ||
| So they have this noise, this narrative that Thomas is out of step. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Because they get money from progressive white groups, like the unions. | ||
| The NAACP gets Hundreds, tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, right? | ||
| The unions were one of the most racist groups in our history, right? | ||
| They buy off the NAACP. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The NAACP is opposed to school choice, right? | ||
| To have kids in, you know, very difficult circumstances in the inner city have a chance to go to a better school, right? | ||
| To get a good education. | ||
| Because as Justice Thomas's grandfather recognized, And as many other black parents and other parents, white or black, recognize, education is the way out, right? | ||
| Education is the way up, right? | ||
| American opportunity. | ||
| And the NAACP would rather have their kids, those kids, rot in those schools so that they can get their money. | ||
| So that's what's the crime, right? | ||
| And that is Hakeem Jeffries, right? | ||
| Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democrat Party in the House. | ||
| Remember, his uncle, was Leonard Jeffries, one of the most notorious, anti-Semitic, | ||
| anti-white, racist people on earth, right, who actually, you know, was in New York, at City | ||
| College of New York, and Hakeem Jeffries called him a noted scholar, you know, | ||
| defended him, called Justice Thomas and Colin Powell, House Negroes for their conservative views. | ||
| I mean, that's how despicable he is. | ||
| OK, so this runs through the Democrat Party. | ||
| OK, their policies harm black Americans. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I hang on for one second. | ||
| I'm going to hold you because they're going after Justice Alito and Thomas. | ||
| They want them to recuse of all these things and they're going after them for standing for traditional American values. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| South Bronx showed yesterday there's a lot more folks than you think that support traditional American values. | ||
| President Trump was his best yesterday. | ||
| Authenticity and fight. | ||
| Authenticity and fight. | ||
| That's what they're looking for in the South Bronx. | ||
| That's what they're looking for in America. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| Alito and Thomas support the insurrection, right? What are they really saying? | ||
| They're saying that Trump won, lost the election, but won the white vote, which is true. | ||
| He did. He won the white vote by a lot. White people should probably do something about that. | ||
| But he won the white vote by a lot. And what Alito and Thomas are saying is that it is that white vote that Trump | ||
| won, that's the only votes that matter, that we should do what | ||
| the white voters want. | ||
| And when they write these decisions like they did in the gerrymandering case, what they are straight up saying is that black voters | ||
| can be diluted, can have their voting rights taken away simply because | ||
| black voters happen to vote Democrat. | ||
| This is a grifter. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He is benefiting from positions that he actually benefited from, taking positions that he benefited from. | |
| But for affirmative action, we would not know Clarence Thomas. | ||
| But for desegregating society, we would not know Clarence Thomas. | ||
| Clarence Thomas is an unfortunate outcome of a tradition of black people grifting off their race to betray their race. | ||
| It is unfortunate. | ||
| And what we've seen the Supreme Court do in the decision was to undermine The question of equal protection under the law. | ||
| That no state should use race as a proxy to discriminate for political gain. | ||
| We are living in America in 2024, not 1950s apartheid South Africa. | ||
| And I believe this court want to create an apartheid- Okay, this is all about the redistricting fight, but the last 24, 48 hours, a firestorm about Justice Alito and the appeal to heaven flag. | ||
| And now, Justice Thomas, this is about the redistricting issue in South Carolina, Louisiana, all of it. | ||
| Mark Paoletta, is he a grifter that is, as they identified him, is he a grifter that has made a fortune off of grifting, off of keeping black people down, sir? | ||
| The left is in full meltdown. | ||
| Clarence Thomas is our greatest American. | ||
| Greatest American, living American, he's our greatest justice, and he's got this incredible story. | ||
| What I found, just the two juxtapositions of President Trump going into the Bronx, and then, I don't know who that commentator was, who was saying that Clarence Thomas wouldn't be known, right, but for affirmative action. | ||
| Think about how condescending that is to black people, right? | ||
| No agency. | ||
| What about Joy Reid? | ||
| What about the guy who's saying that? | ||
| I mean, what are they saying? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| That it's all reliant on affirmative action for black, you know, Americans to get anywhere. | ||
| How insulting, how disgusting, right? | ||
| And so, you know, what Justice Thomas said in this concurrence yesterday, right, was in his reference to Brown, what he thinks is courts shouldn't be making, drawing lines. | ||
| That's left to the Constitution, to the elected people, okay, in our system of government. | ||
| Courts are terrible at it. | ||
| And there were some infamous cases where some judge took over a school system in Kansas, I think, and was ordering up for 20 years, you need a new pool. | ||
| You need a better pool. | ||
| You need all these sorts of things. | ||
| But Justice Thomas, his criticism of Brown, right, is that it was too weak in the sense that they relied on social science and results. | ||
| Clarence Thomas thinks you don't need to look at that stuff. | ||
| It's unconstitutional. | ||
| The Constitution doesn't let you divide people by races, okay? | ||
| That's fundamentally what the Harlan dissent in Plessy was, that everyone loves. | ||
| When Clarence Thomas says it, he's a radical, he's whatever. | ||
| The Brown case, okay, there's a great piece in by Jason Riley last week that talked about how the Brown case was a political decision that used this social science data, okay, to say that their equal opportunities in the different schools wasn't equal, okay, and that's why you could Why it was wrong. | ||
| Clarence Thomas is like, what are you talking about? | ||
| It's wrong. | ||
| Period. | ||
| And that's what the Harlan dissent in Plessy did. | ||
| It was a beautiful piece by Jason Reilly that you have up here. | ||
| And again, it goes to the agency. | ||
| I point out, as Thomas Solis talked about, right? | ||
| There were great black schools in America like Dunbar that had these incredible results, right? | ||
| And performances. | ||
| And it's so demeaning to black Americans and the whole civil rights establishment. | ||
| Who are the grifters? | ||
| Who are the grifters, Steve? | ||
| It's the NAACP and all these left-wing black leadership groups that get all their money from white progressive groups. | ||
| They are the ones that are outside the mainstream of black Americans. | ||
| And again, President Trump going into the Bronx being authentic. | ||
| That's why the American people, black and white, whatever your color, whatever your race, | ||
| why they love him, right? | ||
| Because he's authentic. | ||
| He doesn't pander and he says it how he believes it. | ||
| And people relate to him. | ||
| From the janitor, just like Justice Thomas, right? | ||
| From the janitor to the justice. | ||
| Justice Thomas is the most beloved person At the Supreme Court. | ||
| Hands down, nobody will disagree with that. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Do you think that's the way it is with Joe Biden, right? | ||
| Or Hakeem Jeffries? | ||
| No, it's not. | ||
| It's because they're authentic and they represent, as you said, the thirst, whatever that MAGA is, of liberty, get off our backs, stop dividing this country by race, stop, you know, being, you know, a tyrannical government. | ||
| In the 30, before you go, for people to think about over this Memorial Day weekend, as we honor our war dead, the 30-front war. | ||
| Folks gotta understand, Mike Lee did a great job heading it on a couple months ago. | ||
| I just want to put in front of this audience, because you guys are the powerhouse. | ||
| The maniacal... There's something about them losing the Supreme Court, because most of these liberals, they're all either lawyers or they're very legalistic. | ||
| The courts have always bailed them out from the American people. | ||
| They are insane about this topic. | ||
| This topic of packing the court. | ||
| This topic of, as you say, shrink the court today with Alito and Thomas out. | ||
| And then expand the court later. | ||
| Just give me a minute or two on that because I need this audience to focus on this behind the scenes in this city and what they're doing in raising money. | ||
| And they are so maniacally focused to the fact, once again, and this gets back to the Mar-a-Lago raid, we'll talk to Julie Kelly about it later, that you already saw they were prepared to have physical violence against these justices. | ||
| I'm just concerned you got to get super security in this because these people are unhinged on this topic, sir. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Steve, spot on again. | ||
| All right, 2020, March 2020. | ||
| Schumer threatens the Supreme Court justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. | ||
| You better vote a certain way or there's going to be violence against you, okay? | ||
| And they lost the court. | ||
| They had the court for 70 years, as you said. | ||
| It was a great super legislature, right? | ||
| And so what's going to happen every springtime, right? | ||
| Your viewers should realize every springtime there's going to be these crazy attacks on the Supreme Court as they get, you know, down to the end of the term and issuing their big decisions. | ||
| We saw it with the Dobbs case in 2022, right? | ||
| An unprecedentedly assassination attempts on Kavanaugh. | ||
| In 2023, the attacks on Justice Thomas. | ||
| Why? | ||
| What was going on then? | ||
| The affirmative action case, right? | ||
| Harvard UNC. | ||
| So this court is dismantling, right, the Warren, you know, Berger legacy court, left-wing sort of Supreme Court that got in the business of America and tried to run it as a proxy for the left. | ||
| And so this court is moving back to its original role, its constitutional role. | ||
| And the left is unhinged and crazed. | ||
| And that's why, again, it's ramping up again right now, Steve. | ||
| The end of the term for your viewers is the end of June. | ||
| That's what they need to understand. | ||
| This is not about ethics. | ||
| This is about power. | ||
| This is about controlling the Supreme Court. | ||
| And I urge all of your viewers to go out and buy an appeal to heaven flag, as I did yesterday, and fly it. | ||
| Appeal to heaven flag. | ||
| I got to talk to the flag. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Hell yes. | ||
| It's a great fucking revolution. | ||
| Remember, the Supreme Court, it's a two-punch military campaign to deconstruct the administrative state. | ||
| One is legislative. | ||
| One is legislative. | ||
| It's three-pronged. | ||
| Legislative, we got the Executive Branch Project 2025 to get our people in there and take these billets out. | ||
| The third with Exxon and Chevron and all that is the Gorsuch and these heroes in the courts to deconstruct the administrative state. | ||
| Remember, if you take the administrative state away, these folks can't make a living. | ||
| They've grifted and sucked off this seven trillion dollars. | ||
| This is why it's seven trillion dollars. | ||
| This is why nobody stops it. | ||
| Pay a letter. | ||
| Over the weekend, I want everybody to go to your site and get all your content about Justice Thomas and so much more. | ||
| And once again, Russ Vogt and the team over at CRA, amazing work. | ||
| Get the best people. | ||
| Where do they go, sir? | ||
| MarkPalah.com. | ||
| It's got all my articles and other materials. | ||
| And then at MarkPalah on X, I put up everything, you know, a lot of stuff defending the court, defending Justice Thomas, defending President Trump. | ||
| And at CRA, Center for Renewing America, as you said, Russ Vought is a true American, laying out a blueprint for hopefully the coming next term. | ||
| Uh, my mentor, Mark Paoletta, on all things Supreme Court and federal judiciary. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| So lucky, so lucky to meet that guy in Trump's White House. | ||
| You wouldn't have had Kavanaugh. | ||
| Two people, Mark Paoletta, And Mike Davis. | ||
| I'll throw Dom again in there. | ||
| You wouldn't have had Cavanaugh. | ||
| You definitely wouldn't have had Gorsuch. | ||
| The Gorsuch pick wouldn't have been for those guys. | ||
| And the fight to get him through was extraordinary. | ||
| Okay, here's what I'm going to do. | ||
| I'm going to talk to my production team. | ||
| I have a 90 second cold open. | ||
| I'm going to play the 90 second cold open on this side of the break. | ||
| So exactly 90 seconds we're going to play it. | ||
| And we have a very special guest. | ||
| When we return, that's going to join us Sergeant First Class Army Reserve Frank LaRose. | ||
| He's also happens to be, he's got a side gig, he's Secretary of State of Ohio and he's caused a firestorm. | ||
| Remember. | ||
| What is the War Room about? | ||
| The War Room is about always be on offense. | ||
| Always be on the attack. | ||
| The best defense is offense. | ||
| And what we have in this great state of Ohio is some offense. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| Phillip Patrick's going to join me tomorrow. | ||
| Incredible kicking off the week. | ||
| In fact, we'll do it later today also. | ||
| But we're going to get the... Howard's going to join us tomorrow? | ||
| Okay, let's go to the TR. | ||
| Let's go to the cold open. | ||

|
Ohio is running out of time to get Joe Biden, the sitting president of the United States, on the ballot this fall. | |
| Failing to do so is simply not acceptable. | ||
| This is a ridiculous, this is an absurd situation. | ||
| That was Republican Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio. | ||
| He's calling in state lawmakers for a special session next week to ensure that President Biden appears on that state's ballot this November. | ||
| Ohio election law requires political parties to certify the presidential ticket by August 7th, but the Democratic National Convention, where Biden will be formally nominated, doesn't actually start until August 19th. | ||
| In the past, such issues have been addressed with quick legislative fixes, but some Republicans have balked this time around. | ||
| So at least if we take the governor at face value, this seems like a moment, increasingly rare moment, where a member of the Republican Party is putting the country ahead of partisan politics. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, and I think Governor DeWine would be good for his word. | |
| I think that it shows, though, in this era, politics has just become asymmetric warfare. | ||
| And both sides have to identify where they could possibly get, you know, one edge. | ||
| And you have to look at that and preempt it, basically. | ||
| And Democrats have to be very careful about it because the Republicans are so ruthless that they're- Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Since we're talking asymmetric warfare, who better to have than the Green Beret? | ||
| We got Sergeant First Class Frank LaRose, a Green Beret, joins us, and it's so lucky. | ||
| I guess you're down at Bellevue. | ||
| What a better way to spend Memorial Day than reserve duty. | ||
| Partisan politics, smash mouth, all of it. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| You're one of the straightest guys I know. | ||
| Aren't you just following the law? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, the knucklehead from MSNBC said I'm ruthless. | |
| I guess I'm ruthlessly doing my duty to uphold the law of the state of Ohio, as written by Democrats. | ||
| It was Democrats that put this 90-day rule in the law when Ted Strickland was the governor of Ohio, and I'm faithfully upholding that law. | ||
| Asymmetric warfare, that tugs at my heart as a Green Beret. | ||
| The only thing asymmetric here is that there is no symmetry between the rules that, for example, the New York Times wants to see enforced. | ||
| They said that this is just a minor technicality. | ||
| No, it's the law. | ||
| It's my duty to follow the law. | ||
| If you're running for county commissioner and you file your petitions a day late, you are rejected. | ||
| You're not placed on the ballot. | ||
| And in this case, it looks like the Democrats are on track to miss the deadline. | ||
| That's not a technicality. | ||
| That's the law. | ||
| I'm going to come back to this in a second, DeWine. | ||
| I've wanted to have you on here for a while, and one of the reasons is when I talk to people about voter rolls or running elections with the rule of law and playing by the rules, people consistently tell me, Ohio. | ||
| Frank LaRose. | ||
| Voter rolls, all of it, you've cleaned up. | ||
| Just walk me through the process, because I think you could be a guide and even a mentor to other people, because it is a mess around the rest of the country. | ||
| How have you guys done it in Ohio? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's probably why I was the only Secretary of State endorsed by President Trump in 2022, and I was proud of that. | |
| It starts with bipartisan oversight of the process. | ||
| Not every state has that, but in Ohio it's two D's and two R's that run each county board of elections to keep each other honest. | ||
| We run elections where we check IDs. | ||
| We take dead people off the voter rolls. | ||
| We remove non-citizens. | ||
| Let's go to that. | ||
| Why does everybody else say it's so impossible to do? | ||
| You've got states where it's an absolute mess. | ||
| Particularly if it's bipartisan. | ||
| How did you actually do it in Ohio? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's challenging. | |
| I always say list maintenance is like hygiene. | ||
| It's like brushing your teeth. | ||
| We've got to do it every day. | ||
| And it's difficult to find the data that we need in order to remove, for example, non-citizens from the voter rolls. | ||
| But when we're able to get that data, we run it against our voter registration list. | ||
| And we send out a letter. | ||
| We say, we think that you're a non-citizen. | ||
| If we're wrong, send us proof. | ||
| Let us know. | ||
| But otherwise, we're going to remove you from the voter rolls because American elections are only for Americans. | ||
| Novel idea. | ||
| And when we catch people breaking the law, we refer them for prosecution over 600 times during my term as Secretary of State. | ||
| We've caught people doing the wrong thing and referred them to the prosecutors because a law that's not enforced isn't a law, it's a suggestion. | ||
| I keep telling people, one of the reasons we have such big spreads in Ohio, and what that means, just like the Bronx, the counter to the Bronx, we may not carry the Bronx, we may not carry New York City, but now you're going to tie down Biden and these guys and spend resources, time, focus on their pockets, and that's where we go on offense. | ||
| The reverse is true, and this is what in 16 we got a little spread in Ohio. | ||
| We could spend time using Ohio as a center of gravity for Wisconsin, for Michigan, for Pennsylvania that had the same type of demographics there. | ||
| The spread, the reason we're winning so big in Ohio now, is because of your work. | ||
| I mean, once you clean these, the cleaner you get these voter rolls, the tidier you run these elections. | ||
| I keep saying, MAGA's two-thirds of the nation, and you can see it in places like Ohio and Florida, where people, it's no nonsense, we're going to do this right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not going to take credit for that. | |
| What I'm going to say is that the people of Ohio have spoken, and they want to join President Trump in making America great again. | ||
| Quite simply, Ohio is a conservative state, and their voice is being heard in honest and fair elections. | ||
| That's my job, and I'm proud to do it. | ||
| Let's go back to Governor DeWine. | ||
| It's the law. | ||
| They knew about it because they think they can change anything. | ||
| This is so important, I think, to set a standard and to send a message to the New York Times, you guys. | ||
| This goes back to the pandemic. | ||
| It goes back to everything. | ||
| They just think they have these rules and regulations and they can change on a dime to suit their interests. | ||
| Why would we ever, with all the other issues Ohio's had, Why would you play into the Democrats' hand and admit there's maybe something they're right by calling a special session? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're right. | |
| The left is arrogant about this, and I would say a bit incompetent. | ||
| I mean, as you know, there are offices full of ballot access lawyers. | ||
| Both parties have them. | ||
| If the ballot access lawyers from the DNC couldn't figure out when the basic deadlines were, they should be fired from their jobs. | ||
| And whether the state legislature chooses to act next week or not is up to them. | ||
| I will say this, that one of the things that they're thinking about pairing with it is to finally close a loophole that would keep foreign billionaires out of funding issue campaigns in Ohio. | ||
| That is important that that gets done. | ||
| And so if they're able to get these two things accomplished, listen, President Trump's going to win handily in Ohio. | ||
| If we can also get banning foreign influence in our elections in Ohio, But I don't buy the argument that if Biden's on the ticket, it's a better deal for Sherrod Brown. | ||
| I haven't looked at all the numbers yet, but MAGA is going to show up in Ohio for President Trump. | ||
| They want to have a show of force there. | ||
| I mean, the Buckeyes are proud of the fact that they're one of the leading MAGA states and want to give President Trump momentum. | ||
| Without Biden on the ticket, Sherrod Brown's a done deal, right? | ||
| Maybe a done deal anyway, but he's a done deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And in places where Republicans didn't go 10 years ago, Youngstown, the Ohio Valley, speaking of the Bronx, I mean, here's a Republican going into the Bronx and getting a huge crowd. | |
| It's the same thing in places like Youngstown because of the strength of President Trump. | ||
| And I believe that my friend Bernie Moreno is going to be successful beating Sherrod Brown, taking back the Senate majority. | ||
| Talk to me about your Army. | ||
| I've got a minute. | ||
| I'm going to get John Solomon up. | ||
| You're a Green Beret in the Army. | ||
| Give me your sense right now. | ||
| It's Memorial Day weekend. | ||
| This is not about veterans. | ||
| This is not Veterans Day. | ||
| It's Memorial Day. | ||
| Give me your sense right now of where you think the military is. | ||
| Particularly, we're going to have our 6 o'clock tonight. | ||
| Talking about the United Kingdom, we have word that Sunak, one of the reasons Sunak wanted to call this election so shortly, he doesn't want to be a wartime Prime Minister. | ||
| That they're gearing up right now, there's all types of things happening in Ukraine, with the UK, with France, and quite frankly, with the United States. | ||
| What's your sense of where we are as a country as far as the esprit de corps of our military? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think that in the conventional military there's a lot of work that needs to be done. | |
| I'm blessed to serve in a special operations unit where we focus on our mission, we look out for one another, and we know that our job is to protect our way of life and the defense of this nation. | ||
| I think that there needs to be some big reforms at the Pentagon and I believe that President Trump's going to do that. | ||
| Would you be open to helping President Trump in the second term and doing those types of things that need to be done over at the Pentagon? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anyone who wouldn't answer the call to serve from a president is not a patriot, and I would absolutely consider that. | |
| Last question, because we deal with this every day for hours in meetings after the show, but are you open to also advise or at least look at some other states and where they are right now, what has to happen? | ||
| The number one thing on everybody's mind is we cannot allow this thing to be stolen. | ||
| You guys in Ohio, Have done it the right way, and you're kind of an example. | ||
| So we're within six months, and a lot of people are panicking right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not only open to it, but have been doing it. | |
| I've testified in the Pennsylvania State Senate multiple times. | ||
| I gave them ten recommendations. | ||
| Sorry to say they've implemented none of them. | ||
| Shapiro didn't run right out to Franklin Rose's I just became the chairman of the Republican Secretaries of State Association, our committee nationwide. | ||
| Isn't that where it should go through, is through that committee? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Well, and it's Republican Secretaries of State that'll do this work. | ||
| I think that there's an important bill in the legislature that Chip Roy just introduced called the SAVE Act. | ||
| And there's an important one that was introduced last year that I helped write called the ACE Act, American Confidence in Elections. | ||
| Now, the reality is those things won't get passed until we control the Senate and the White House, but those are important for the future as well. | ||
| Where do people go over the next week, because we're still adamant, screw them, okay? | ||
| Where do people go to get the basic information, and then where do they follow you on social media? | ||
|
unidentified
|
At Frank LaRose on all the different platforms. | |
| I'll be keeping people updated and you can follow our different statehouse news bureaus and that kind of thing. | ||
| Is there any way we can stop this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen, that's up to our state legislature, and we're kind of a disparate bunch right now that can't agree what day of the week it is, but that's up to them. | |
| Sound like the MAGA Republicans. | ||
| Sergeant First Class, honored to have you on here, look forward to having you back. | ||
| Always on offense. | ||
| Great. | ||
| John Solomon now joins us. | ||
| John, thank you very much, brother. | ||
| A couple of things. | ||
| Number one, I haven't had a chance to have you on here and really talk about Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| They're sitting there going, Mar-a-Lago was standard operating procedure, Mar-a-Lago was not a problem. | ||
| Give me your thoughts. | ||
| Well, listen, there never should have been a raid, and that is something that two senior FBI officials tried to impress upon the Justice Department. | ||
| It is something that the National Archives, much earlier, you see in the documents that recently were released by Judge Cannon, NARA thought that they were being way too hostile, that the normal history of dealing between a former president and NARA was to negotiate and get the done deal. | ||
| But this Justice Department, the Merrick Garland Justice Department, in the eye of Joe Biden, whose White House was prompting these cases—remember, the White House was talking to Nehru, saying, sick the FBI on Donald Trump. | ||
| They weren't doing it for lawful reasons. | ||
| They weren't even doing it, I think, to get the records back. | ||
| I think they were doing it to create a spectacle that would try to embarrass Donald Trump. | ||
| And four years later, everything they've done is coming around and boomeranging on them now. | ||
| People are saying, we don't do this in America. | ||
| We don't send armed guys with shoot orders to the president's compound to get paper. | ||
| I mean, that's what we were pursuing here, paperwork. | ||
| We weren't looking for stolen nuclear weapons. | ||
| The militarization of our military, the use of these SWAT teams for misdemeanor cases in the January 6th prosecutions, Really exceed the bounds. | ||
| And people say, well, what's the danger? | ||
| I'll give you a good example of what happened in Arkansas three months ago. | ||
| A man got shot in the head by the ATF because they decided to pull out the Calvary and raid his house at six o'clock in the morning. | ||
| What for? | ||
| A paperwork issue involving whether he should have had an FFL or not as a hobbyist who's occasionally sold guns. | ||
| That's the danger of what Joe Biden has done. | ||
| This happened in the 90s under Clinton. | ||
| Then after Ruby Ridge and things like that, Congress reigned it in. | ||
| The Democrats are back to getting those military guys into the cavalry. | ||
| Law enforcement was never meant to be a cavalry. | ||
| It was meant to be a law enforcement protection opportunity. | ||
| They're way over the list. | ||
| The reason I wanted to start with the FBI, because what they knew about the archives and actually what was there, the paperwork, you have a very explosive story up on just the news right now. | ||
| Fed secretly knew for years Joe Biden's son met with, Joe Biden met with son's Chinese partners on official trip. | ||
| This is one of the problems people have. | ||
| What the government and what the intelligence apparatus and law enforcement apparatus already knows what they're admitting and what actions they're taking on what they're putting out as false information. | ||
| Tell me about your story this morning about the CCP. | ||
| This is... And here's the headline... Because to me it connects back to... Yeah, go ahead. | ||
| Here's the headline below the headline. | ||
| James Comer just got his hands on 3.3 million pages of documents that the United States government has had on Hunter Biden since 2016. | ||
| It is a treasure trove of extraordinary new evidence. | ||
| It's going to take impeachment in a whole new direction. | ||
| It's going to show that several witnesses have lied before the impeachment inquiry. | ||
| It's going to show no new foreign grifts that Hunter Biden and his father were working on | ||
| and their partners were working on. | ||
| It's going to open up all sorts of new things. | ||
| It's going to call into question some of the testimony that occurred at the 2019 Ukraine | ||
| impeachment. | ||
| This is just the first set of documents I got from it. | ||
| All next week and the week after we're going to put out a lot of different stories from these documents. | ||
| James Comer fought for almost a year to get these documents from Devin Archer's lawyers. | ||
| They got them. | ||
| Devin Archer has been a very important cooperating witness. | ||
| These documents Back up his story and expand the story of what we know about Hunter Biden. | ||
| So what do we know today? | ||
| We know that in 2016, the FBI, the IRS and SEC, using subpoenas, got these documents. | ||
| And in those documents is proof that when Hunter Biden went on Air Force Two to Beijing in 2013, he had prearranged for his father to meet his new business partners, Jonathan Lee, the guy who sets up the investment fund with him, right after the vice president was done meeting with President Xi. | ||
| There are these emails that show the setting up of the meeting. | ||
| There's a delay in the meeting, so Hunter Biden's trying to buy time. | ||
| And then the meeting occurs and Hunter Biden writes Devin Archer saying, they met. | ||
| Just think about that, because in 2019 and 2020, Joe Biden looked in the camera. | ||
| His campaign looked in the camera and said, I never met with any of my son's business partners. | ||
| My son had no Chinese business. | ||
| They knew it was a lie. | ||
| The FBI, the Justice Department, the SEC, and the IRS knew it was a lie, and they allowed that lie to stand, just like they did as they tried to pretend that the laptop was Russian disinformation. | ||
| When you talk about a protection racket, the FBI has formed a protection racket around The Biden family for a very long time. | ||
| The Praetorian Guard. | ||
| They get to pick just like in ancient Rome. | ||
| John Solomon, this is a blockbuster. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| OK, John, just take a minute. | ||
| I got to hit rewind because my head's blown up. | ||
| 3.3 million documents. | ||
| It now shows that the Air Force, and when he went over to Air Force Two, emails, all this, they were setting up meetings, taking meetings, having meetings, all that, and you've got documentary, you've got the receipts. | ||
| And he cut to 2019 in December, November, December, when they get the laptop from hell, when the FBI and Justice get the laptop from hell, knowing they've already got this, I mean, and then Biden, you know, months later, a couple months later, six, seven, eight months later, looks right in the camera and calls us all liars. | ||
| It's all Russian disinformation. | ||
| Looks the nation in the eye, never did it, never happened, never in many parts. | ||
| And, oh by the way, this is all, he's Putin, and the war room, all these guys are Russian allies, and this is all Russian disinformation. | ||
| How can that stand? | ||
| You're quickly getting into like impeachment areas, Brother Solomon, do you not think? | ||
| Yeah, listen, I think we're going to revisit the 2019 impeachment soon. | ||
| I think people are going to realize that the story that was put on before the American people in the same manner that Watergate and other major scandals that were real scandals in this country were prosecuted, they're going to realize that a large part of the 2019 impeachment was a ruse. | ||
| There are documents That we'll make available as early as next week that I think are going to show new avenues of where Hunter Biden was trying to make money in Eastern Europe, particularly in Ukraine. | ||
| Big money, way bigger than anything we knew before. | ||
| There's going to be new meetings with government officials. | ||
| There's going to be new lobbying campaigns. | ||
| We didn't know that Hunter Biden and his law firm were waging on his father's administration. | ||
| The storylines that Joe Biden sold to the American people, not a single one of them are true. | ||
| The most credible people on this story are people like Devin Archer. | ||
| When he came forward, his story checks out in these documents. | ||
| Hunter Biden's story doesn't check out. | ||
| That's why the Ways and Means Committee just announced that they believe he lied on three occasions. | ||
| I think there may be more instances that his testimony will be challenged. | ||
| When this is all done. | ||
| But the big story is when people see the breadth of evidence that the FBI had, the FBI showed no curiosity in looking at something that had problems with FARA, with Foreign Corruption, with Foreign Practices Act. | ||
| They simply looked the other way for six years. | ||
| And when the American public was being lied to in the midst of the 2020 election, many of those people in the Justice Department and the FBI who knew the truth, probably the intelligence community as well, they stood silent and allowed those lies to be propagated on the American people before votes were cast. | ||
| Solomon, this makes sense of what you're saying. | ||
| John Solomon was the first one to lay out the kind of theory of the overall case. | ||
| He says we've got to go back to the beginning. | ||
| You've got to go back to 2016. | ||
| You've got to go back to the crossfire hurricane. | ||
| You've got to go back to the whole Russia thing against Trump. | ||
| You've got to go, and as folks like me and other people that are around him, you've got to then go back to the 2019 Ukraine situation, and you've got to bring it forward to today. | ||
| It's all intricately linked, and the only people who can do this are the people in the House. | ||
| Formerly adjudicated. | ||
| And it has to be adjudicated with the Democrats having a minority member in minority council. | ||
| Ranking member in minority council. | ||
| We do it the Watergate way. | ||
| But John Solomon saying, hey baby, if you do this the right way, this will blow away. | ||
| Watergate will look like the third-rate burglary that it was. | ||
| Is that basically the John Solomon pitch? | ||
| This scandal could potentially be larger to Watergate when people unravel all of it. | ||
| And here's the thing, James Comer has been playing a little bit of possum the last couple weeks, couple months. | ||
| He knew these documents were coming. | ||
| I think he lulled the Democrats to sleep. | ||
| The Democrats are going to have a very uncomfortable summer based on what we now know. | ||
| The documents that the whistleblowers are putting forward, the documents that are in these 3.3 million. | ||
| There is a whole new story to be told about the Bidens that just makes it worse. | ||
| And the cover-up, the breath of people who knew what the Bidens were doing and allowed it to happen, absolutely going to stun America. | ||
| John Selman, where do people go to get your content, to go to the site, to get your social media, your podcast, all of it? | ||
| Yeah, so justinews.com, that's where we put our stories. | ||

| Julie Kelly, now we've got this whole issue with documents on the laptop from hell. | ||
| The trips to China. | ||
| On the other side, it's going to be a bad summer because there's more documentation coming out with the brave and heroic Judge Cannon. | ||
| I know you don't watch MSNBC and CNN like we do. | ||
| MSNBC is in a full jihad against this woman. | ||
| I've never seen anything like it. | ||
| Every guest that comes on about this, she's incompetent, she's got to be impeached, she's got to be removed. | ||
| Tell us what she's revealing down there for us. | ||
| You know what's always stunning, and I know you'll be shocked to hear this, but these talking heads who are calling for Judge Cannon's recusal and, I don't know, prosecution, I guess, they never show up at the courthouse. | ||
| I never see them there. | ||
| I never see that Glenn Kirshner, that despicable man who's constantly posting and actually inciting threats against Judge Cannon. | ||
| I don't see him at the courthouse. | ||
| How does he know what's going on? | ||
| They don't know what's going on because there's no way to cover it unless you're there in person. | ||
| So of course they're going after her because she's doing what a judge should do, and that is defend the rights of the defendants before her and expose I mean, what is she supposed to do when Jack Smith admits earlier this month that they've mishandled and possibly misplaced evidence? | ||
| What is she supposed to do when a defense attorney, Stanley Woodward, who is defending Walt Notta, Trump's longtime, you know, they call him the body man, longtime valet at the White House and then at Mar-a-Lago, When they're threatening Stanley Woodward, you better get your client to slip or else we're going to scuttle your judicial nomination in Washington, D.C. | ||
| So they don't cover what's happening on the Jack Smith side. | ||
| They only cover Judge Cannon and her, as you said, courageous motions and, excuse me, orders and hearings. | ||
| To make sure the American people understand how dirty, corrupt, and sloppy this investigation on prosecution has been since the beginning, and continues to be. | ||
| Julie, just hang on 90 seconds. | ||
| I gotta get into something else. | ||
| A couple of three people on these channels are taking Julie Kelly's name in vain, right? | ||
| They're not happy that Julie Kelly's been the bird dog in this, and particularly about the situation on the FBI raid. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
