| Listen, it's a unanimous jury verdict, unanimous on all counts. | ||
| This is a definitive and, you know... | ||
| This is an irreducible verdict. | ||
| He can appeal. | ||
| I'm sure he will appeal. | ||
| But this is everything the prosecution asked for from a jury that, by all accounts, took this thing very, very seriously. | ||
| We counted the deliberation hours down here. | ||
| The test here for us as a country is not about what happens on appeal and is not about what happens in sentencing. | ||
| The test for us now as a country is whether or not This former president and his allies will have succeeded in trying to undermine the rule of law so that people reject this as a legitimate function of the rule of law in our country. | ||
| They have tried to delegitimize this judge. | ||
| They have tried to delegitimize this court. | ||
| They have tried to delegitimize these proceedings. | ||
| They've even tried to delegitimize the laws that he was charged under. | ||
| Those efforts are the tests that we now have as a country. | ||
| The people involved in bringing this case have been threatened and intimidated and had | ||
| everything brought to bear on against them in a way that was designed to delegitimize | ||
| this process in the eyes of the American people. | ||
| It is now in the hands of the American people to decide if we will accept those efforts | ||
| or whether we will stand by the rule of law and recognize this as a fair proceeding. | ||
|

|
You disagree with the outcome, obviously. | |
| Do you accept that he did have his day in court and it was a jury of his peers that | ||
| made this decision? | ||
| No, not at all. | ||
| Why not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I mean, look, I think, and this is nothing that we haven't said repeatedly, We were indicted for conduct that happened in 2015, 16, 17 in a jurisdiction that it was very hard for us to get a fair trial, Caitlin. | |
| I know the district attorney has said repeatedly, said it today, this is a bread and butter case. | ||
| We do this all the time. | ||
| That is not true. | ||
| It's just not true. | ||
| It may be that they bring these types of charges regularly, business records charges, but you cannot find another case in the Manhattan District Attorney's, in the history of that office, where they did what they did here, which is charge somebody for conduct that was seven, eight years old. | ||
| Somebody's personal records right now not corporate records as personal records | ||
| So so this is not I don't think I think it's naive to say that this is like any other case that we do | ||
| What we did in this case is what we do all the time. No, and maybe it's okay | ||
| I mean they think it's okay. They did it Trump's reaction to the guilty verdict was once again | ||
| He's already demeaned and destroyed much of our electoral process by saying it's rigged and corrupt | ||
| And now he took on the rule of law. | ||
| He took on the definition of justice itself by saying this verdict was corrupt and it was rigged and it's a rigged system. | ||
| Well, if he was correct in both his assertions that the electoral process is rigged and corrupt and the judicial process is rigged and corrupt, then there is no more America. | ||
| Look at how news outlets across the country are covering this historic news this evening. | ||
| This is all front pages here. | ||

| The title of this is, A Man of Conviction. | ||

|
Little hands. | |
| Big handcuffs. | ||
| Our coverage, when all of us covering the daily trial, looking at the transcripts, looking at people who are in the courtroom, talking to, you know, getting reporters updates over the course of the day, I don't think there was a moment where we were like, hmm, something went wrong there. | ||
| There's something hinky in this trial. | ||
| There's something that's been decided in a way that seems very suspect or like, wow, that's going to get appealed and that'll blow this thing up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There was never a moment like that. | |
| And that was true with us not knowing what the result was going to be. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| And that is to have a non-results driven, honest broker, fair take on what's going on means that you believe in the system. | ||
| And you're policing the system to make sure that it's fair, but you're willing to accept it when it is, | ||
| regardless of what the outcome is. | ||
| Really, really got to me during those oral arguments, which I felt was really shameful in some circumstances, | ||
| is multiple conservative justices basically saying, oh, come on, you can indict a ham sandwich. | ||
| You know, isn't the rule of law just gonna be used as this tool? | ||
| And here you had, I thought, just a process that was run with incredible integrity. | ||
| And basically, I think that the kind of liberal democratic order that we're trying | ||
| to hold onto here rises or falls on our ability to agree to fair and neutral processes | ||
| that we're all subject to. | ||
| That's democracy. | ||
| It's a process-based system. | ||
| You're not guaranteed any outcome. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| You're guaranteed a fair process. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| And that's true in courts, and that's true in elections. | ||
| And what we are seeing in the Republican Party is basically rejecting that notion, that if you lose an election, the election's no longer legitimate. | ||
| If you're convicted at trial, then the system is no longer legitimate. | ||
| It's rigged. | ||
| And this is a deeply held part of Donald Trump's personal view of the world. | ||
| I mean, he said it about the Emmys. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It goes all the way back. | ||
| And it's authentically held, I think, in his own strange way. | ||
| But it is now metastasized to take over the party. | ||
| And in some ways, when that is the party ethos, as we're seeing, you're kind of removing yourself from the sort of consensual collaborative enterprise that we're all engaged in in a liberal democratic enterprise. | ||
| The one good thing that happened here is that this case was brought in a state that no Republican controls. | ||
| Because if it did, the same thing that happened in Georgia would have happened here. | ||
| Thank God for the state of New York, Donald Trump's home state, because there was no way for him to interfere with the process of justice. | ||
| And in this rare instance, as somebody who's quite critical many times of the criminal justice system, The system actually worked the way it is supposed to work. | ||
| And I agree with you. | ||
| The one thing that would ruin this very rare moment when we can all say the criminal justice system can actually see past your power and see past your race and your wealth. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| President Trump 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

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

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| It's Friday, 31 May, in the year of our Lord 2024, the day after a historical gap we will | ||
| have before the indictment of President Trump and then after the indictment. | ||
| And it's very simple. | ||
| Two things have to happen here today. | ||
| We're going to lay out a battle plan. | ||
| Number one, we must make sure that we're organized, that all this energy All your anger, all your despair, all your hate, all of it is channeled. | ||
| Channeled in a way of righteous indignation that we're not going to allow this constitutional republic be run, be governed, be controlled, and be destroyed by a gang of Marxists. | ||
| That will not happen. | ||
| Not on our watch. | ||
| And like I said, if we don't quit, we win. | ||
| And they know that. | ||
| Rachel Maddow summed it up best yesterday. | ||
| That's why I played it and I'll play it again throughout this hour. | ||
| This is the pregame for the president's press conference at 11. | ||
| This is all up to the American people now. | ||
| The American people and being up to the American people means you, this audience, has to be the force multiplier to make sure that the American people get this and they get the correct information and so they can weigh and measure it. | ||
| That is part one. | ||
| Part one is gonna be a massive, and by the way, President Trump's gonna set all kind of online fundraising records. | ||
| I think that's great. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| Got all these billionaires come around because of Nikki Haley. | ||
| I'll talk about that in a second. | ||
| But this is about good old-fashioned elbow grease. | ||
| This is about political muscle, and that's where you come in, this audience, the activist audience. | ||
| We're gonna raise an army of the awakened of about a quarter of a million people, 250,000. | ||
| People to be election officials election judges get out to vote all of it in those 25 districts in those seven battleground states To make sure we ensure it not just a win, but a blowout win and that is not about money That is about determination or get that the other part though the other part because we're doing boom boom We're gonna boom people are you know getting to work putting their shoulder to the wheel all that, but we're also the institutions that we have And the people in those institutions now is a, it's not a time for choosing. | ||
| It's a time for decisions. | ||
| And, um, and we're going to call them out and we're going to get all over them. | ||
| And if they don't do it, we got to get rid of them and get other people that will. | ||
| We must go on offense right now. | ||
| And we have the apparatuses to go on offense. | ||
| We had the apparatuses to make sure that we have the rule of law. | ||
| Once again, I beg of you, where is Jim Jordan, where's Comer, and where's Polly Pockets? | ||
| Johnson, where are the subpoenas? | ||
| Where is an investigation? | ||
| Why are people not being held accountable? | ||
| Why does it take Mike Davis and Kash Patel and the same people over and over and over again? | ||
| Sehgal Chadha, all these great people of the states, why does it take them? | ||
| Pounding, pounding, pounding. | ||
| You know why the fix is in. | ||
| The donors don't want it. | ||
| What the donors want is Nikki Haley as Prime Minister. | ||
| It's so obvious. | ||
| Can somebody check right now for me? | ||
| I don't know if Nikki's come up with something. | ||
| In all the preparation for today's show, I know as of last night, That's why, you know, it's not random that she's on a state visit, and yes, it was like a state visit to Israel, where she had the very crass, and this comes from people that have said from day one, you've got to take out the Hamas military brigades in Gaza, in southern Gaza, the fort. | ||
| You have to take out the Hamas military brigades in Judea, Samaria. | ||
| You have to then confront the Persian militias known as Hezbollah and others up on your northern border. | ||
| So, we come at this from a place that says, you must hit and you must hit hard and you must take care of this or you're not going to exist as a nation. | ||
| That's a far cry from signing bombs and writing on bombs. | ||
| The reality of this war is that there are some innocent people that are going to get killed. | ||
| We're not proud of that. | ||
| We're not happy about that. | ||
| That's just, that's just, that's what war is about. | ||
| The Muslim Brotherhood started it, but you don't sit there and sign bombs like you're, you know, you're in World War II and you're dropping them over, you know, you're dropping them over the Ruhr Valley. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| It shows a lack of judgment and all the big money coming around Nikki Haley in the last, or coming around President Trump in the last 72 hours is attached. | ||
| Nikki Haley is attached as VP slash Prime Minister. | ||
| We also have to thwart that. | ||
| So we have our work cut out for us. | ||
| The principal work is channeling your energy. | ||
| We only got a couple of months before this election, and then to make sure that President Trump actually raises his hand over the King James Bible over KJV at high noon on the 20th. | ||
| You know, Raskin and these people, Mark Elias, trying to steal it. | ||
| And then to make sure that the administration is not, President Trump's second term is not de-Trumpified. | ||
| That President Trump is not a lame duck by the forces of the neoliberal neocons. | ||
| So we have our work cut out for us, but hey, it's all good. | ||
| We've got it because we have the political muscle, we have the dedicated people, we have focused people, we have good people, we have patriots. | ||
| You go back and look throughout the roll call of American history and if you look at the patriots every time at an inflection point in American history, that would be you. | ||
| Those are your kindred spirits. | ||
| In an unbroken chain down to the present day, from time immemorial, it has been patriots that have stood in the breach and said, not on my watch. | ||
| Not on my watch in 1776. | ||
| Not on my watch in 1860 and 1861. | ||
| Not on my watch in the late 1930s and the early 1940s. | ||
| not on my watch in the late 1930s in the early 1940s not on my watch. That's today | ||
| in the year of our Lord 2024. | ||
| And what we're looking for is an army of the awakened. | ||
| An army of the awakened. | ||
| It's not going to be money. | ||
| I think it's great they're going to set campaign records, but that's all the campaigns focus on. | ||
| It's not about money. | ||
| Although money is obviously important. | ||
| It's not about money. | ||
| It's about you. | ||
| If your task and purpose is to save your country, and your task and purpose, in maniacal focus, is to make sure that we set things right and right this terrible wrong that's been done against the American Republic, not against Donald Trump, not against the MAGA movement, but against this, our beloved Republic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We will be victorious. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| I got Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen has done some quick overnight polling. | ||
| Now, this is not going to play out for a week or two. | ||
| I understand that, but we just want to get some touch points because Mark Mitchell called it early in the week. | ||
| I'm going to get Mark Mitchell up here, but I got to go to Mike Davis. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| Number one, we are going to raise this massive Army of the Awakened to make sure the election can't be stolen to get out the vote. | ||
| It's going to be monumental, historic, and it's in process, folks. | ||
| Just take a deep breath here. | ||
| But we also, this is a multi-front war, we must go on offense. | ||
| And once again, sir, I ask you, where is the, we have apparatuses and we have institutions that have processes that can at least start to bring this to light and focus on it. | ||
| Where is the House of Representatives? | ||
| Where's Comey? | ||
| Where's Jim Jordan? | ||
| Why are there not subpoenas flying around? | ||
| Why are we sitting here after the fact and we got, you know, I don't want to get graphic, but nothing's happening, sir, except strongly worded letters. | ||
| Help me out here, brother. | ||
| You're exactly right, and we've been talking about this, Steve, nearly daily. | ||
| For the last 24 months since the unprecedented, unnecessary, unlawful raid on the office of former president in Mar-a-Lago to go get crossfire hurricane presidential records that Trump was allowed to have, and the Biden administration, President Biden himself and his deputy White House counsel, Jonathan Su, did this under the guise of the Espionage Act, right? | ||
| It was just a total bogus political hit to get back damning crossfire hurricane records. | ||
| And we have warned people for the last two years about what was going to happen yesterday, | ||
| that they were going to try Trump on bogus charges in one of these Democrat hellholes, | ||
| and they were going to have a jury of Democrats and a corrupt Democrat judge find him guilty. | ||
| They're going to convict him. | ||
| Do not be surprised at all if this corrupt Democrat Judge Juan Marchand puts Trump in | ||
| prison or at a minimum in home confinement with such severe restrictions that he cannot | ||
| effectively campaign for President of the United States. | ||
| House Republicans... | ||
| Hold it, hold it, hang on. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Full stop. | ||
| Let's rewind. | ||
| I want to talk about the house. | ||
| They have already shown... | ||
| That their number one priority is to make sure Trump cannot win the presidency. | ||
| And they've done this in this time and in this manner to make sure that he cannot campaign. | ||
| Talk to me about his imprisonment or home confinement. | ||
| What are they going to do on this? | ||
| Because they've set the date right before the convention. | ||
| And what Reince Priebus and Dave Bossie should do this afternoon, not wait, this afternoon, is bring up Well, they found Trump guilty of these 34 bogus felony charges in New York for a businessman settling a nuisance claim and putting it in his books as a legal expense seven years ago. | ||
| nominee of the Republican Party. We got to get on offense. | ||
| Tell me about this home confinement or imprisonment, sir. Well, they found | ||
| Trump guilty of these 34 bogus felony charges in New York for a businessman | ||
| settling a nuisance claim and putting it in his books as a legal expense. Seven years | ||
| ago, somehow that's in his private book, somehow that was a bookkeeping misdemeanor | ||
| for business books, even though it was private books, and somehow that | ||
| 2017 entry affected the 2016 election. | ||
| They railroaded Trump with this trial with a bogus process, a corrupt judge. | ||
| Whose daughter's raising millions, Lauren Michon. | ||
| That's the number one thing that House Republicans should do is issue a subpoena immediately for Lauren Michon for her documents and for her testimony. | ||
| Make her come in for a staff deposition and then put her ass in a chair in front of the bright lights for a public hearing. | ||
| and make her explain how she's raising millions of dollars off of this unprecedented criminal trial | ||
| over which her father is presiding, her father who made an illegal campaign donation | ||
| to President Biden that got her father reprimanded by the New York judicial system several months ago, | ||
| we just learned, but he still continued with this unprecedented trial, | ||
| even though he has a conflict of interest under New York statute. | ||
| clear New York statute. | ||
| That isn't just me saying that. | ||
| A former federal Clinton judge from the Southern District of New York, New York City, went on Caitlin Collins' show on CNN on April 5th and said Judge Mershawn had to recuse. | ||
| He refused to recuse. | ||
| Jim Jordan and the Weaponization Committee needs to issue a subpoena today for Lauren Michon and for her documents and for Judge Michon's obvious corruption. | ||
| His daughter had a financial stake in this criminal prosecution. | ||
| She's raising millions of dollars. | ||
| She gets a percentage of that as a Democrat consultant and fundraiser. | ||
| Get this clip from Rachel Maddow. | ||
| The probability of him of doing home confinement, because home confinement, they'll say, hey, we didn't put him in prison, but home confinement, he can't get on the, he can't get on the hustings. | ||
| You think Mershon, you think Mershon and the DA, that's where they're focused? | ||
| The DA is going to ask for prison time immediately, are they not? | ||
| Yeah, they will ask for prison time. | ||
| And if you look at the New York guidelines, it calls for prison time. | ||
| And they've already apparently or reportedly had meetings between the Secret Service and the New York prison system to figure out how they would be able to confine President Trump, right? | ||
| And so that is their intention. | ||
| And people need to wake up to the fact That that is their intention. | ||
| They're like, oh, that's not going to happen. | ||
| Look what they just did. | ||
| They just had a rigged trial and a rigged Biden-Democrat jurors finding the president guilty for non-crimes. | ||
| They're going to put him in prison. | ||
| A lot of people are giving happy talk. | ||
| We've learned about this. | ||
| A lot of people, oh, shock. | ||
| We're so shocked. | ||
| And this whole thing, oh, it's going to get reversed on appeal. | ||
| Hey, there's not an appellate judge in New York. | ||
| I was just gonna say, look at the New York appellate division. | ||
| It is like a Noah's Ark of DEI misfits, right? | ||
| And so, do you really think that Trump's gonna get a fair appellate process? | ||
| He's already tried to appeal this No problem. | ||
| unillegal, clearly unconstitutional third world gag order on a criminal defendant where | ||
| they've this judge, Mershawn, this corrupt judge has threatened to throw Trump in prison | ||
| for merely mentioning Lauren Michaud's name as she's raising millions of dollars corruptly | ||
| off of her father's trial. | ||
| This appellate division said, oh, no problem here that that's OK. | ||
| Yeah, you could put you can put a gag order on a criminal defendant. | ||
| This is the same appellate division that uphold Judge Ingerolld's, you know, civil fraud fine | ||
| against Trump for the non-fraud of what happened in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, they were so fair, they reduced it by half a billion dollars. | |
| And Laura Loomer, she's got the judge's daughters giving front row seats to her clients yesterday, so they could be there for the historic day. | ||
| I'm going to keep you around, but one more time. | ||
| The subpoenas should fly today. | ||
| If they're on vacation again, they've got to come back. | ||
| And Jim Jordan, this is on you. | ||
| Enough of the strongly worded letters. | ||
| And the vote, they should do a fly-in vote on the Merrick Garland contempt. | ||
| They keep sitting there, oh, we don't have enough votes. | ||
| Let's see who's not voting. | ||
| Let's see who's a Republican. | ||
| And then it's in the power of this audience to go turf them out. | ||
| We should next week have immediately a vote on Merrick Garland. | ||
| The subpoenas should fly. | ||
| The Judiciary Committee should announce, for legislative purposes, a vast investigation of this. | ||
| We can't wait. | ||
| I know, Mike, you guys are working on plans, and the Project 2025 people, and CRA, and Russ Vought, and Mark Paoletta, and it's all great. | ||
| That's all great when you're Viceroy DC, but we need action, and we need action immediately. | ||
| They need to be put on defense, and the only way to put them on defense is hit them with a blowtorch. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| That is exactly right. | ||
| And I would say to these little weak Republican coward lawyers, if you're looking for your legislative purpose, look at the 14th Amendment passed after the Civil War and look that requires that states provide due process and equal protection of the law. | ||
| And then look at that thing called Section 5. | ||
| And that Section 5 gives Congress very broad power to pass legislation to ensure states are providing American citizens due process and equal protection of the law. | ||
| So that's your legislative hook right there. | ||
| Section 5 of the 14th Amendment and start issuing subpoenas immediately. | ||
| Issue subpoenas. | ||
| Ask this, how does Judge Juan Marchand randomly get picked for the Trump Organization criminal trial, for the Trump Trial we just had now, and Steve Bannon's upcoming trial. | ||
| Does that sound random to you? | ||
| I don't think it does. | ||
| Elise Stefanik just sent a judicial misconduct complaint, and I think Jim Jordan and his weaponization committee, his little cucky weaponization committee, should issue subpoenas right now for those court records and ask, how did Judge Murshan randomly get assigned? | ||
| He's like the Forrest Gump of this Trump lawfare. | ||
| He just randomly shows up everywhere, right? | ||
| Issue subpoenas. | ||
| Why did he get randomly assigned? | ||
| Why is Lauren Michonne raising millions of dollars off of this and he has not recused? | ||
| Issue subpoenas for that. | ||
| Issue subpoenas for this corrupt Manhattan DA's office. | ||
| Ask for their communications with the Biden Justice Department. | ||
| They asked for them before. | ||
| Bragg told Jim Jordan to piss off. | ||
| Where are those documents? | ||
| Go to court. | ||
| Make it painful. | ||
| Hold contempt votes. | ||
| And even if the Biden Justice Department doesn't want to pursue contempt, guess what? | ||
| I guarantee you that the Trump 47 Justice Department will do that starting on January 20, 2025. | ||
| Mike Davis, our Viceroy of D.C. | ||
| and future White House Counsel, I don't know, DAG, Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General, we're trying to figure it out. | ||
| Stick around. | ||
| We're going to bring Mark Mitchell in from Rasmussen after a short commercial break. | ||
| Mark Mitchell has done some overnight polling. | ||
| Kash Patel's going to join us. | ||
| Kash Patel's already got away. | ||
| They're going on offense already. | ||
| Remember, it's an Army of the Awakened. | ||
| Army of the Awakened and going on offense. | ||
| The small dollar donations, I think, are going to blow away by $35 million. | ||
| Hey, money's good and new people coming in and giving. | ||
| That's all great. | ||
| You got skin in the game. | ||
| We love it. | ||
| But that's not going to win this. | ||
| It's about so much more than money. | ||
| You know what it's about? | ||
| It's about you. | ||
| Are you like the Patriots in 1776? | ||
| Are you like the folks in the early 1860s? | ||
| Are you like the people? | ||
| that won the great war against fascism in the 1940s. | ||
| Are you? | ||
| Ask yourself that question. | ||
| Dig down deep as we roll up to the 80th anniversary of Normandy. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in the war room on a day we're on fire for the pregame of President Trump's press conference. | ||
| Is everything the prosecution asked for from a jury that by all accounts took this thing very, very seriously. | ||
| We counted the deliberation hours down here. | ||
| The test here for us as a country is not about what happens on appeal and is not about what happens in sentencing. | ||
| The test for us now as a country is whether or not This former president and his allies will have succeeded in trying to undermine the rule of law so that people reject this as a legitimate function of the rule of law in our country. | ||
| They have tried to delegitimize this judge. | ||
| They have tried to delegitimize this court. | ||
| They have tried to delegitimize these proceedings. | ||
| They've even tried to delegitimize the laws that he was charged under. | ||
| Those efforts These are the tests that we now have as a country. | ||
| The people involved in bringing this case have been threatened and intimidated and had everything brought to bear against them. | ||
| I don't need to hear any more whining. | ||
| Yeah, they've been so intimidated. | ||
| That's all a lie, by the way, ma'am. | ||
| But you laid out the test, Rachel Maddow, because you're the brains of the operation. | ||
| The test for the country is will America accept or reject these proceedings? | ||
| from Trump and his allies, consider us in this audience allies. We've got the right | ||
| wing of Trump at all times. And yes, we're all in on this. | ||
| Let's bring in Mark Mitchell Mark, you kind of called this a couple of days ago. | ||
| I know, and this is going to take a while to play out. | ||
| Rachel Maddow laid it out. | ||
| I think she framed it quite perfectly, and we get it, and it's her versus War Room. | ||
| We'll take that bet. | ||
| We're long War Room on this. | ||
| We're long this audience on this. | ||
| Walk me through what your overnight show, understanding that this is all getting sorted out now, but kind of a first taste of directionally. | ||
| There are short-term and long-term implications. | ||
| The long-term ones, I think, are going to be massive. | ||
| We're going to have to wait and see it play out. | ||
| But as a public opinion professional, it's incredible out there. | ||
| You can almost feel the Overton window just creaking and groaning as people try and come up with new words to capture what you rightly put as a major inflection point. | ||
| But what we predicted, the short-term results, is absolutely what we're seeing now, and that's the Democrats They're dancing around in the end zone. They're having a | ||
| little happy time for themselves. | ||
| Just two weeks ago, the Biden approval among Democrats was 69 percent. It's up eight points | ||
| to 77 percent. Joe Biden, strong approvers among Democrats, 47 percent, up seven points from 42 | ||
| weeks ago. | ||
| And, you know, they're happy. | ||
| It's not going to last. | ||
| And unfortunately, what they're forgetting is why they were so down two weeks ago. | ||
| It's that they're losing big in election where their candidates probably not going to be able to debate. | ||
| He's destroyed the economy. | ||
| The country's being overrun. | ||
| They haven't gotten themselves out of that fix yet. | ||
| So I think reality is going to come crashing back. | ||
| But then we just happen to be in the field with our latest matchup, like right in the middle Of this jury verdict. | ||
| And we really don't get opportunities like that very often to see the actual impact on the numbers. | ||
| And believe it or not, it did bring Trump down a little bit. | ||
| Just today, we're publishing a matchup with Trump up 10. | ||
| These new numbers, Trump's going to be up probably in the 5% range. | ||
| So it has had some impact. | ||
| Of course, you know, he'll probably bounce back some, and it's a long way to go to November. | ||
| But I think the big thing to watch out Is that, you know, we have Trump up between five and ten. | ||
| But if you're a carefully cultivated polling aggregate, you probably show something more like an even race or Trump up one. | ||
| And if this plays out in other polling and Trump has a little speed bump, they're absolutely going to use this in the media as calls for him to be replaced. | ||
| They don't want to run against Trump. | ||
| They're going to use everything in their toolbox. | ||
| And we saw this coming and actually, you know, a month ago, polled on it. | ||
| And believe it or not, 75% of Republicans, they don't care if Trump's found guilty. | ||
| They still want him to be the candidate. | ||
| Only 14% say no. | ||
| And 20% of Democrats think Trump should still be the candidate. | ||
| So people, I think they've kind of baked in like what this would mean for the race for them politically. | ||
| But the problem is justice and the rule of law. | ||
| What's that going to do? | ||
| It's gone. | ||
| And people don't want to hear words anymore. | ||
| They know justice is gone. | ||
| They don't need a statement of you telling them, oh, now this could be used against Democrats, or, oh, you know, we don't have a rule of law. | ||
| These people lived through a weaponized pandemic, their cities burning down in 2020, you know, Hunter Biden skating on literally everything, and a president whom, by a majority, Americans do think has taken money from our enemies. | ||
| So they don't want to hear you say that the rule of law is gone. | ||
| They get that. | ||
| They want action. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Action. | |
| Action. | ||
| The key there, folks, for those sophisticated folks in the War Room Posse, which is 99.99%, | ||
| understand that 14% he's talking about, that's all this big money, not the small donors, | ||
| All the big money is going to come. | ||
| They're not going to overthrow Trump or get Trump off the ballot, but this is all about Nikki. | ||
| This is about Prime Minister Nikki Haley, okay? | ||
| Which is something else we have to stop, but I want to put a pin in that because that's where it's coming. | ||
| The 10 down to 5, If that basis is five, you're saying as this fades in memory and we do our job on delegitimizing, which we're going to do, the other issues really come to the forefront, right? | ||
| What's really happening to America on the invasion, on the economy, on inflation, on the forever wars, and that's how we drive ourselves back up to the ten percent, Mark Mitchell? | ||
| I never thought we were going to get to November with a 10 anyways. | ||
| I think it was going to narrow when people threw money in there, but this is an existential battle in my opinion, in many ways, um, you know, for a lot of our institutions, because what I've seen in our polling over the last four years is that left and right, the institutions are crumbling. | ||
| Assets are being burned in order to keep Trump out of the office. | ||
| And I think, I think people absolutely a hundred percent see that. | ||
| Here's how you know it's a big inflection point. | ||
| You know what rose to the top on Twitter last night? | ||
| It's symbols. | ||
| Symbols are important. | ||
| Back in the Afghanistan crisis, that was the first thing that really hit Joe Biden's approval rating. | ||
| But it wasn't until two months later when he had FJB chants in every stadium in America that he absolutely got to his bottom. | ||
| That's when he became one of the lowest approval rating presidents in our country. | ||
| It wasn't until then. | ||
| And the night of November 3rd, 2020, the very next morning, the next two days, what were people seeing? | ||
| It was that little red and blue chart. | ||
| So I think the people, the symbol people are grasping at right now is an upside down flag. | ||
| And that's there's going to be ramifications of that and people are trying to find a new way to frame this. | ||
| And I just think the time for words are over like last night. | ||
| I was on Twitter and I would recommend everybody go on Twitter get out of your digital ghettos and go look at like what's actually out there. | ||
| And Ron DeSantis put out a statement. | ||
| It was a really well-typed statement. | ||
| It was good. | ||
| It said the right words. | ||
| But before Elon Musk retweeted it, it looked like it was on the way to getting ratioed. | ||
| And I think that's what every Republican politician can expect. | ||
| I think they're just sitting back, hoping this will blow over and hoping they're not going to have to Deal with the ramifications. | ||
| No, your candidate is going to be, you know, he's a convicted felon now. | ||
| That's your candidate. | ||
| Get over it. | ||
| You can't shove Nikki Haley down Republican voters' throats. | ||
| I don't think they're ever going to vote for a Romney, enough for them to win ever again. | ||
| You know, she's on the ticket, I don't know, what does she got, 50 million votes? | ||
| If we do our job, sir, it will not be. | ||
| But I'm telling you, the big money wants it to happen as the stabilization for Trump. | ||
| We'll get to that later. | ||
| Mark Mitchell, where do people go to get everything you do at Rasmussen, YouTube, all your analysis, everything? | ||
| Yeah, Rasmussen underscore poll, everybody should go to Twitter. | ||
| If you're using logic in an echo chamber right now, you're not helping anything. | ||
| America's already been convinced. | ||
| Public opinion's already there. | ||
| These people are a majority. | ||
| Unfortunately, it's like a holy war. | ||
| They have some cult-like beliefs. | ||
| They've given themselves the moral high ground. | ||
| But you have the majority. | ||
| Two-thirds of the country. | ||
| Thank you very much, Mark Mitchell. | ||
| We'll get everybody over there. | ||
| My pleasure. | ||
| Grace and Mo, let's put that up. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody goes to Rasmussen. | ||
| Time of turbulence. | ||
| Turbulent enough for you? | ||
| You ain't seen nothing yet, baby. | ||
| We got a long way to go to November, then to January 20th, then to the Trump term. | ||

|
Yes, Steve, we're right here. | |
| As you can see, the famous escalators behind us where this all began. | ||
| Less than nine years ago and it will begin again right over here. | ||
| You can see some of your warm correspondents there. | ||
| Boris Epstein right there. | ||
| Jason Miller. | ||
| President will be coming in this way over here. | ||
| The President's senior advisors coming on in to address the United States of America to address the country here in about 18, 17 short minutes. | ||
| That's where he'll address from. | ||
| You can see the five flags on his podium right here. | ||
| And it's a serious feeling in here today, Steve. | ||
| It feels like a new leaf has turned over. | ||
| But one does wonder, Steve. | ||
| There's a 45 with President Donald J. Trump right there. | ||
| One wonders if a 47 is closer to being made after the verdict yesterday. | ||
| Oh yeah, we got the momentum but we got to execute. | ||
| There's no doubt about that. | ||
| People in the live chat are on fire and they're not happy. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| I want to be not happy. | ||
| We're not happy warriors here. | ||
| Happy warriors are other places. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| There's room for happy warriors. | ||
|

|
We're focused, focused warriors. | |
| Andrew, he's going to give a short remarks and then is he going to take questions from the press? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I believe he is. | |
| I think he will. | ||
| We'll see if he does or not. | ||
| You know, a lot of times he plans on not doing it, and then he ends up doing it, so it wouldn't surprise me if he does. | ||
| But, Steve, to your point right there, I think having sat in that courtroom for the greater part of the last five weeks, all those Americans out there, that one-room posse who you do a great job of leading, they know what's at stake right now. | ||
| They know that the sake of Western civilization and the rest of this country It's on this man's shoulders who's going to be walking into this room in 16 short minutes over here, and we all need to do our part from action to make sure that we get him elected the 47th President of the United States so we can stave this grand experiment that is the United States of America. | ||
| Andrew Giuliani, where's your social media? | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
At Andrew H. Giuliani on TruceX, all the above. | |
| At Andrew H. Giuliani, and thank you, Steve. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Because of the good offices of Rob and Parker Sigg, who are the Real America Voice partners, the distribution powerhouse, we're going to blow brakes here. | ||
| I'm hearing now from people close to the president that the president is going to come down, I think hit the mark right at 11 or 11.01, so we're going to blow all the brakes. | ||
| I want to thank everybody. | ||
| Mike Davis, you said something yesterday. | ||
| You tweeted about individual AGs. | ||
| I've actually had conversations with some AGs. | ||
| Tell me about the states. | ||
| We don't have... First off, Jim Jordan, it's time not to be sleepy. | ||
| Rub the sleep out of your eyes. | ||
| Show up. | ||
| In fact, the House should come back this afternoon and work through the weekend. | ||
| What the hell are people taking off? | ||
| It's not that you're spending time with your constituents. | ||
| We check all the time. | ||
| There's no town halls going on. | ||
| Come back and come to work. | ||
| The nation needs you. | ||
| The Republic needs you. | ||
| We need you now. | ||
| But, at the state level, there's plenty of work to do, Mike Davis. | ||
| What is your recommendation that's blown up? | ||
| What did you tell Axios, the scoop you gave Mike Allen and Jim Vanderhay, that has Twitter's head blown up? | ||
| I would say this. | ||
| If you look at This what Biden, President Biden and his Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Sue, his Attorney General Merrick Garland, Matthew Colangelo from the Biden Justice Department to Bragg's office, Nathan Wade from Fannie Willis's office, colluding with the Biden White House, including the Biden White House Counsel. | ||
| You have President Biden's fingerprints directly on all four of these unprecedented criminal | ||
| indictments of President Trump in New York City, in the Southern District of Florida, | ||
| in Atlanta, and in D.C. | ||
| And so what needs to happen is that this is obviously a criminal conspiracy by President | ||
| Biden and his aides and his allies to violate President Trump's civil rights, the civil | ||
| rights of his top aides like Peter Navarro, who's in prison right now, like you, Steve, | ||
| who they want to send to prison, his lawyers like John Eastman and Jeff Clark, his supporters | ||
| on January 6th. | ||
| President Biden and his aides and allies have politicized and weaponized our justice systems at every level to take out their political opponents. | ||
| These are malicious prosecutions, and they're doing this because of the political opposition. | ||
| This criminal conspiracy is happening in many different jurisdictions, as we just laid out. | ||
| New York, D.C., Atlanta, now Arizona, with Chris Mays out in Arizona. | ||
| And so, you know, what needs to happen is, is one of these state AGs or district attorneys in these various locations needs to open a criminal probe. | ||
| And the most likely criminal probe that could be open right now is down in Georgia. | ||
| Chris Carr could open a criminal probe in Georgia because the criminal conspiracy, | ||
| many of the key overt acts have happened in Georgia with Fannie Willis's bogus RICO indictment | ||
| against President Trump and 18 of his key aides and allies. | ||
| And then down in Florida. | ||
| The Florida Attorney General can open up a criminal conspiracy down there. | ||
| Here's the problem. | ||
| You saw it from DeSantis' DeSimps week post last night. | ||
| You're theoretically absolutely correct, and that should happen this afternoon. | ||
| Here is the reality. | ||
| Let me give you a reality check. | ||
| Both of those guys are going to run for president in 2028. | ||
| It's not the worst thing in the world for them if Donald Trump loses. | ||
| That's just a fact. | ||
| Because remember, the money and the Bush apparatus and the Ken Griffins and the donors that talked to the Santas say, we got the Senate. | ||
| We're going to take the Senate. | ||
| We're comfortable with that. | ||
| We're going to increase a couple of seats in the House. | ||
| We got that. | ||
| We got a pincer move on Biden and nothing can really happen. | ||
| And we can figure out how to go around his executive orders or fight him on that. | ||
| He's made us a lot of money in the stock market, because that's what's making people money now, is the spending, federal spending, and the Fed being so loosey-goosey. | ||
| He's juicing the stock market, so the asset classes are fine. | ||
| What's not to like? | ||
| Both of those attorney generals work for guys who want to run in 2020. | ||
| The reason that Carr and the attorney general in Florida are not on point is quite simply They don't want Trump as President of the United States. | ||
| Let's just talk reality. | ||
| Your thing is absolutely correct, and it should happen in those two states, and it should happen for the rule of law, right? | ||
| So hang on, Mike. | ||
| I love where you're going with the states, okay? | ||
| And I think there's other state AGs out here that might be able to jump in here, or local prosecutors. | ||
| Kash Patel, you're on fire with action, action, action, particularly in the House and other places. | ||
| Tell me what you guys are cooking up right now to go on offense. | ||
| Yeah, so look, you got to live in reality, as you said, Steve, and you got to action items that can be action. | ||
| And thanks to the brave warrior in Congress, that is Corey Mills from Florida. | ||
| We've called on Congress to subpoena the records of Judge Marchand's daughter's company to find out how much money, how many millions and millions of dollars she made for her family during the pendency of this trial, this unconstitutional rig job with clients like Adam Schiff & Company. | ||
| Furthermore, we want to subpoena the bank records of her companies that show how much money she made after the verdict has come in and how much of that benefited her father, Judge Merchant, because there's a New York State law on the books that says you as a judge cannot preside over a case in which any member of your family monetarily benefits indirectly from the proceedings before you. | ||
| And there is no greater example of a violation of that rule than Judge Merchant in this case. | ||
| I've always said money doesn't lie, and I agree with you and Davis, we gotta take action that can be taken. | ||
| And the State Attorney General's office in Florida can do the same thing because one of Judge Marchand's daughter's companies is housed in the state of Florida. | ||
| So the war room posse has got to call Congress, has got to get behind Corey Mills, a brave warrior from Florida, and demand that the subpoenas be sent by the jurisdictional committees of consequence, whether it's judiciary or what have you. | ||
| These subpoenas have to go out so we, the American public, can find the funds and track the funds. | ||
| And then we can have an inquiry into how many FEC violations this company committed by utilizing the illicit flow of information from her father's courtroom to benefit an election. | ||
| That is an actual FEC violation. | ||
| Maybe there's a brave attorney general out there willing to do that, but right now we need the subpoena. | ||
| Hang on, let me just go to the subpoena for a second because, you know, Mike Davis has talked about this, Corey Mills, you know, Corey is a warrior, you know, decorated military guy, goes over to Israel saving people. | ||
| I think he went to Afghanistan saving people. | ||
| But in this regard, he's a backbencher, correct? | ||
| Is he on oversight? | ||
| Is he on judiciary? | ||
| The jurisdictional, this gets to the jurisdictional committees and it gets to the Speaker of the House. | ||
| So Johnson, Scalise, Jordan, you guys are on, you're on the clock right now. | ||
| No more happy talk, right? | ||
| And I can tell you, to be brutally frank, there's a guy named Donald J. Trump that's not happy and I don't care what some of these social media or some of his operatives around him are telling people, he ain't happy, okay? | ||
| Because Congress has failed in its effort, failed in its legislative effort, as Mike Davis says, To make sure the Constitution is followed by the 14th Amendment. | ||
| It's great that Cory Mills is up there, and this is what should happen. | ||
| But Jim Jordan's officer cranked this out today. | ||
| Comer's officer cranked it out today. | ||
| And, correct me if I'm wrong, Cash, and Davis, I'll come right to you. | ||
| Cash, where's the vote? | ||
| We already got a subpoena. | ||
| They blew off. | ||
| on the tape. | ||
| Where's the vote on Merrick Garland? | ||
| And why didn't they whip it all over the weekend? | ||
| Here's what you should do with these people. | ||
| You can't go home and party. | ||
| You can't go home and goof off for a couple weeks until you pass a penalty. | ||
| You want to get their attention? | ||
| You ought to see the rush they have at Reagan Airport to get on these planes to get the hell out of here, right? | ||
| You just tell them, hey, we're calling you back and you're not leaving until we get a vote to do this. | ||
| Kash Patel. | ||
| Well look, the Democrats would stay 24-7 overnight to get it done, and the majority of Republicans run to the planes to flee home like you just said. | ||
| And that's the sad reality of it. | ||
| Where are these guys backing Donald J. Trump and demanding a special session of Congress right now? | ||
| The Republican majority in the House of Representatives could be doing that instead of being home | ||
| on summer vacation and airmailing it in with cheap headline shots on the mainstream media | ||
| outlets to say, you know, that November 5th is the real verdict date. | ||
| We don't need you in Congress to repeat what Donald Trump already said. | ||
| We need you in Congress to go out and back Donald J. Trump with an investigatory subpoena to expose the corruption of the Judge Merchant proceedings. | ||
| and expose how it was directly tied to the Biden White House and how they all financially, | ||
| monetarily benefited from that. These guys could issue these subpoenas overnight. | ||
| I don't know what they're doing. You're absolutely right. | ||
| We did it during Russiagate. We forced the hammer and we exposed the greatest criminal conspiracy that | ||
| the government ever participated in. And this would be that forcing function because we now | ||
| know already that the evidence exists that she did profit from this endeavor. | ||
| And so it's not like we're going fishing. | ||
| So I'm waiting for one Republican in one committee of jurisdiction to stand up behind Cory Mills, a great American, and issue these subpoenas immediately. | ||
| War Room Posse, call him out on it, call him at home, call him at work, call him at every office they have, and make sure these subpoenas go out for Donald J. Trump. | ||
| They talk about standing behind Donald J. Trump. | ||
| I want to see one of these guys actually act and stop auditioning for a damn job in the Trump administration. | ||
| It's all talk. |
