...in the courtroom for this hearing. | |
What's been happening so far? | ||
That's right, Anna. | ||
Jack Smith is in the courtroom. | ||
He was not here on Friday, but he is here today. | ||
And they're arguing this morning over a rather esoteric, legalistic, highly technical question | ||
that by the way has already been litigated in the Hunter Biden case, | ||
which is the question of whether the existing appropriation for the special counsel's office | ||
is legal under the constitution, in part because it dates back | ||
to the old Independent Counsel Act, which expired in 1999. | ||
So Donald Trump's lawyers are trying to argue that it's not legal | ||
and therefore this entire case should be thrown out. | ||
It flows from their argument on Friday where they argued that the special counsel's office | ||
was illegal under the appropriations clause, a different part of the constitution. | ||
The big picture here is that many legal experts say, these are not the kind of things | ||
that should be burning a day and a half of hearing time before a trial judge. | ||
These are appellate court issues, legal issues, not fact issues. | ||
But nonetheless, Judge Aileen Cannon has chosen to have a hearing on nearly every disputed matter, and that's what they're talking about today. | ||
This question of whether the technical language of the law This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
Pray for our enemies. | ||
here and whether the case should be thrown out on those grounds. It's a real | ||
long shot. Again, Hunter Biden's lawyers tried it and failed, but we don't know | ||
exactly what Judge Cannon's going to do here. | ||
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
It's going to happen. | ||
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
MAGA Media. | ||
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

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

|
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | |
It's Monday, June 24, Year of the Lord 2024. | ||
We have a lot of breaking news to go through, including about this debate, quote unquote, so-called debate. | ||
We're going to get to that momentarily. | ||
But Julie Kelly joins us now by phone from from Miami. | ||
She was in the courtroom today. | ||
Julie, CNN. | ||
Massive headline lead story is that Judge Cannon Had a full beatdown on Jack Smith today said reading the riot act dressed him down as their headline dressed him down Which is pretty hard for CNN to say That very dismissive cold open it started off as like this is just another Trump delay tactic But the federal judge did not take it like that ma'am. | ||
unidentified
|
I No, so, yes, I just left the courtroom. | |
She had two separate hearings today. | ||
This morning was a continuation of the motion to dismiss based on the unlawful appointment of Jack Smith that took all day Friday and then third of the morning. | ||
And then this afternoon was debate over Jack Smith's proposed gag order against the former president to ban him from making Public critical statements about law enforcement agents involved in this case and of course specifically the armed unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
Yes, Judge Cannon I will say this morning what I saw is what I've seen a lot of Judge Cannon and that is really pressing both sides to make their arguments. | ||
As you played in the cold open, It is a very weedy, technical debate as to the congressional authority that permits Jack Smith's appointment, the constitutional separation of powers issues. | ||
I will argue with whoever was saying that this was an issue for the appellate court. | ||
Well, of course it's not. | ||
This is a motion presented to the trial judge, Judge Kanish, if you are going to choose every right to hear both sides of this motion. | ||
But I would say this is Congress's responsibility. | ||
Yet another example of Congress not doing their job, dropping the ball on whether it's a statutory language in the special counsel alleged statute, independent counsel, they kept going back and forth on that. | ||
These Reno regulations that were put in place after the independent, the original independent counsel statute expired. | ||
And then, of course, appropriation. | ||
And what Judge Cannon really was drilling down on today, and this is where she confronted James Pierce, who is one of Jack Smith's prosecutors, she kept asking where the appropriation source is. | ||
what congressional authority allows what the DOJ says and Judge Cannon said. | ||
This is a permanent, indefinite, limitless supply of public money to the special counsel | ||
without any oversight by Congress. And so that was really, I think, CNN's headline. | ||
That's really where she was grilling Jack Smith's team as to the congressional authority, the separation of powers issue, that they just have this non-stop spigot about our tax money going to Jack Smith. | ||
No oversight, no accountability. | ||
And I think that that might be an issue, aside from the congressional or constitutional authority of his appointment. | ||
Really, the funding source, and who says that the special counsel, unaccountable special counsel, can also have access to an unlimited amount of public money, because there's really no other comparable appointment or office that has that. | ||
Trulia, she kept asking questions. | ||
I just want to know what the answers were. | ||
She kept asking, who's supervising Jack Smith? | ||
Who's overseeing this? | ||
The kind of conversations he's having with Maine Justice. | ||
And also, is there a budget, with spending, appropriations, who back in the house? | ||
Did Jack Smith or his team answer any of these questions or they just simply blow them off? | ||
unidentified
|
It's mostly a blow-off, which the DOJ's position now is that the Special Counsel is an inferior officer of the Department of Justice, which allows for the Attorney General as the principal officer, superior officer, to appoint inferior officers. | |
But then, of course, that opens up the whole bag of worms. | ||
Well, then, who is overseeing this inferior officer? | ||
Well, it's the Attorney General. | ||
And so, Cannon again brought this up. | ||
Is the Attorney General overseeing the Special Counsel? | ||
Well, yes, in a way, but he's still independent. | ||
It's not a day-to-day oversight. | ||
Which, of course, flies in the face of how Eric Garland presented Jack Smith when he was appointed in November of 2022, and his continued Let's pivot now to the gag order. | ||
Did we make any progress in the gag order? | ||
Of course, as you know, the War Room has, we have some skin in this game. | ||
and DOJ and what Jack Spence is doing. | ||
Let's pivot now to the gag order. | ||
Did we make any progress in the gag order? | ||
Of course, as you know, the War Room has, we have some skin in this game. | ||
So how did it go in the gag order? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, your name did come up, albeit by a defense attorney, Todd Blanch, who is one of Trump's | |
And so after the whole kerfuffle of May 21st, it's a little weird to sit there hearing them talk | ||
about May 21st and that week, because of course, as you know, Steve, | ||
I was the first one to post the lotion and the FBI operations plan. | ||
And then that prompted Donald Trump and others to weigh in and say how the DOJ, FBI authorized the use | ||
of needles for Samara Lago, which is true. | ||
At any rate, in sort of a safe base measure, Jack Smith came to the court a few days later, | ||
Friday the 24th of May, seeking this gag order saying that Donald Trump was lying, | ||
making false inflammatory remarks about the elements of the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid, | ||
that these posed an imminent and foreseeable threat. | ||
This is a law enforcement agent involved in the case. | ||
Donald Trump has a history of doing this, and that Judge Cannon, not just a gag order like we saw in Washington or we saw in New York, but set specific conditions to his bail that would prevent him from making public critical statements about law enforcement agents in the case. | ||
She was not really buying DOJ's argument, as you can imagine, because they could not demonstrate a clear nexus between Trump's true social posts and the email saying how Joe Biden's DOJ was locked and loaded, ready to take out him and his family, and any threats that have been made to any law enforcement officials in this case, because, as Judge Cannon said, All of the names of law enforcement agents have been redacted from all the materials that have been posted. | ||
So how can you threaten an FBI agent involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid when the name is not public? | ||
So that was really her back and forth with David Harbaugh, who is one of the other prosecutors, who almost got himself thrown out of the courtroom, by the way, did you see? | ||
That was interesting. | ||
How did that happen? | ||
How did that happen? | ||
unidentified
|
So David Harbaugh, you'll recall, and I reported this from the last hearing, Judge Cannon had to tell him to calm down because he was having a mini temper tantrum about how the proceedings were going. | |
He was pounding on the podium, he was like clapping his hands in anger to tell him to calm down. | ||
Well, today David Harbaugh comes up And he starts addressing Judge Cannon like she is a child. | ||
It was so obvious from the beginning. | ||
They all have this condescending tone, Jay Barrett and David Harbaugh, but this was really amplified today. | ||
He was really intentionally trying to get under her skin. | ||
So he's up top and he's like, well, as I just said, Judge Cannon, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | ||
And he was really She's trying to goad her into what she did finally say, which is Mr. Harbaugh, I'm going to ask you, I don't like your tone. | ||
I expect a quorum in my courthouse at all times. | ||
If you cannot act appropriately, one of your colleagues can take up this motion. | ||
act out a little bit and then at the end of their initial exchange he said I want to apologize | ||
I did not mean to act unprofessionally. Yes he did. This is what we get to pay for. These | ||
bullies, these thugs going in saying that Donald Trump's social posts pose a threat | ||
to law enforcement while demeaning a federal judge sitting here presiding over this case. | ||
Alcocracy is just off the charts. | ||
Judge Cannon's hung tough on this. | ||
Where do we go next on this, Julie Kelly, on this case? | ||
unidentified
|
My guess is that she is going to say that the motion for conditions of release, the GAAP order, really is premature, that the DOJ has not demonstrated any nexus between Donald Trump's posts for his comments and legitimate threats to law enforcement. | |
She, I believe, will then say, we will address this pretrial, how we make sure that law enforcement agents who are witnesses to the trial receive protection, etc. | ||
Tomorrow, though, Steve, there's another hearing. | ||
There's a sealed hearing for two motions. | ||
One is related to D.C. | ||
former Chief Judge Farrell Howell, our favorite judge, who took the extraordinary step in 2023 of piercing attorney-client privilege between Donald Trump and Evan Corcoran, forcing Evan Corcoran to turn over all of his records and communications related to the documents investigation to Jack Smith. | ||
So Donald Trump's team has filed a motion to suppress that evidence. | ||
So that will be heard in a sealed hearing first and then a public hearing tomorrow afternoon. | ||
After that part of the hearing, we will also hear another defense motion to suppress evidence | ||
from the Mar-a-Lago raid. | ||
And see, that is when the defense will sort of get into the details as to how the Mar-a-Lago raid was conducted, how it violated the broad terms of the search warrant, how the warrant application itself was deceitful, that they misled Judge Bruce Reinhart, which probably was easy to do. | ||
And did not give Judge Reinhart all of the information on how the investigation had proceeded from that from the very beginning. | ||
So, another big hearing tomorrow afternoon. | ||
I will be there covering it as well. | ||
Julie, can you hang on one second? | ||
I have to ask you. | ||
I want to take a short commercial break. | ||
I need to ask you about Fisher and about immunity in one of the biggest weeks in the history of the Supreme Court. | ||
They'll start putting out opinions Wednesday. | ||
They may give us another day on Thursday. | ||
Never know. | ||
Maybe another day on Friday. | ||
Maybe even to next week because I think they have 18 left to go, including a couple of three blockbusters. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||

Julie Kelly, we have a presidential debate on Thursday night. | ||
Well, let me say this. | ||
This segment is supposed to be about them. | ||
We'll get to it in a second. | ||
They should not have a presidential debate. | ||
First off, we don't know if Joe Biden's even going to be the nominee, number one. | ||
That should be very clear. | ||
Number two, these rules, as shown today, CNN has no respect for the Trump campaign, for President Trump, for MAGA, for the American people, and certainly not for the institution of a fair debate of what they did to the press secretary today. | ||
But I'll get into that. | ||
In just a moment. | ||
This debate is Thursday night. | ||
You have Wednesday. | ||
I thought, just for the opinions, have they added Thursday and Friday? | ||
And where, ma'am, is Fisher? | ||
And where is immunity between Wednesday, Thursday, Friday? | ||
unidentified
|
So the Supreme Court announced today that they will be publishing opinions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. | |
Because, to your point, they've got 18 opinions still that have not been posted to Among Them. | ||
The crucial decisions about Fisher, the DOJ's abuse of the 1512c to obstruction of an official proceeding statute, post-Enron statute, against 350 J6ers and half of Jack Smith, indictment against Donald Trump in Washington related to | ||
the event of the January 6th. | ||
That we're anxiously waiting for it to happen. | ||
And then of course the question of presidential immunity, whether a former president has immunity from criminal | ||
prosecution for his absence in office, which also relates to the four counts of Jaxa's J6 indictment. | ||
There is some speculation, Steve, and I hope this is not the case, | ||
because it will represent such a brazen interference by the court in a political | ||
proceedings, political issue. | ||
And that is, some speculate that the court will hold off publishing both Fisher and Immunity until Friday, after the debate. | ||
So neither matter can be raised during the debate. | ||
And if both issues sort of go the way that we're anticipating the consensus, especially Fisher, then Donald Trump can use it to his advantage in that debate. | ||
So let's hope that the court is not, you know, trying to prevent the former president from highlighting this lawfare against him and his supporters by withholding Publishing those opinions until the debate Thursday night. | ||
But isn't this how we've allowed the left, you know, that we talked with Mark Paoletta, he says a lot of this pressure, a lot of the banging on the court every day, a lot of the protests around the houses, is to get them to pull in, like particularly on a case like Fisher, right, or like the Chevron deference, to pull in where they would really want to go, quite frankly, after being intimidated. | ||
And the Fisher, look, I think Fisher could be one of the most important Decisions in the history of the court and completely exposed like what happened in Watergate with Sarika and the federal bench working with the Justice Department and working with the committees and having behind the scenes meetings. | ||
Have you ever read Jeff Shepherds? | ||
two different volumes on this. | ||
It's all archived. | ||
Everything's got a receipt. | ||
There's no speculation in this. | ||
And he proves it categorically how they took out Nixon. | ||
And even Nixon wasn't big enough or tough enough to take him on. | ||
Isn't that what Fischer... | ||
Isn't Fischer could be one of the most... | ||
the most explosive decisions ever in the history of the court. | ||
And hey, ma'am, it makes sense to me if I'm those guys, I drop them on, I'm out of town, | ||
they drop Friday afternoon, and I'm on a plane to somewhere to take the rest of the summer | ||
off and I'll see you, what, the second Monday in, or the first Monday in October, ma'am. | ||
unidentified
|
Right, exactly. | |
So, let's hope they're not being that cynical. | ||
But of course, we know that these justices are under tremendous pressure. | ||
Personally, their families are. | ||
We see this with Justice Seto and Justice Thomas. | ||
I don't really see either one of them capitulating to this political pressure, but that's your point aside from that. | ||
I think, and I've asked other attorneys, if there's anything comparable to if the Supreme Court comes back and says that the DOJ wrongfully prosecuted hundreds of Americans for political purposes by intentionally misinterpreting a statute, a corporate fraud statute, turning them into lifelong felons, throwing them in prison for years, including Denying a release, holding them under pretrial detention on 1512 C2 alone. | ||
This is historic. | ||
This would be a historic black eye. | ||
Not just for the DOJ, but the 18 federal judges in Washington, district and circuit court judges, who allowed that charge to proceed against defendants in their court. | ||
Are you going to be in DC Wednesday? | ||
You're going to stay in Florida for the hearing tomorrow. | ||
Are you going to be in DC on Wednesday for the Supreme Court? | ||
unidentified
|
Unfortunately, I don't have wings and I don't have my own plane, so I couldn't be able to go to DC in time. | |
But there's really no need because it's better to sort of cover it as, you know, the docket. | ||
Whatever the docket is. | ||
So, I will not be in D.C., but I will be watching Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. | ||
Okay, Julie Kelly's going to go with the drill. I want all your social media. I just wanted to make sure | ||
I was just cross-checking to make sure you weren't taking off for Wimbledon on holiday | ||
while the world hangs on these Supreme Court decisions. | ||
But go ahead, what's your social media? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I am going to Wimbledon, so let's hope there's nothing happening that week. | |
And see, I'll talk to you tomorrow. | ||
after this hearing should also be explosive. | ||
And it will relate to the shenanigans of the D.C. federal court when they did to enable this prosecution. | ||
So we'll chat tomorrow also. | ||
De-classified with Julie Kelly is my sub-stack, julie-kelly2 on Twitter. | ||
Also, Real Clear Investigations. | ||
Julie Kelly, thank you very much, ma'am. Appreciate you. | ||
I think what I'm gonna do I'm gonna have boss. He's gonna be here at 5 | ||
I'm going to hold. | ||
I want to play the Caroline Leavitt clip again when he's here. | ||
So I tell you what, do I have time to play it? | ||
Let me have time. | ||
Is it ready to go? | ||
Let's play Caroline Leavitt again. | ||
I got to get into the CNN thing. | ||
Let's play it so the audience, afternoon audience can hear it. | ||
Let's go and play. | ||
unidentified
|
Joining me now is Caroline Levitch. | |
She is Trump campaign national press secretary. | ||
Caroline, thanks very much for being here on the show. | ||
We played that to remind everyone that that was some of what they saw on the debate stage in 2020. | ||
Of course, President Trump went on to lose that election to Joe Biden. | ||
Can you tell us what Donald Trump is going to do differently on the debate stage this time? | ||
Sure. | ||
Well, President Trump is well prepared ahead of Thursday's debates. | ||
Unlike Joe Biden, he doesn't have to hide away and have his advisors tell him what to say. | ||
President Trump knows what he wants to say, and he's going to relay his vision to the American people to make this country strong, safe, secure, and wealthy again. | ||
He's been doing that across this great nation to all corners of this country. | ||
That's why he was in Detroit, Michigan last week. | ||
He was in Philadelphia for a big rally on Saturday night. | ||
And that's why President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very | ||
network on CNN with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well | ||
known over the past eight years and their biased coverage of him. | ||
So President Trump is willing to bring his message to every corner of this country, to | ||
voters, to ensure that he wins this election in November. | ||
He looks forward to doing that. | ||
And I know the American public look forward to hearing from him. | ||
So I'll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, have acquitted themselves as professionals, as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle. | ||
I'll also say that if you talk to analysts of debates previous, that if you're attacking the moderators, you're usually losing. | ||
So I really want to focus in On what these two men are going to do and say when they stand on the stage. | ||
Now we have a little bit of what Donald Trump, your boss, has said in trying to set expectations for this debate. | ||
I want to play a series of his comments and then we'll talk about it. | ||
Watch. | ||
Maybe I'm better off losing the debate. | ||
I'll make sure he stays. | ||
I'll lose the debate on purpose. | ||
Maybe I'll do something like that. | ||
unidentified
|
I assume he's going to be somebody that will be a worthy debater. | |
Should I be tough and nasty and just say you're the worst president in history? | ||
Or should I be nice and calm and let him speak? | ||
So he's basically saying there, well, will I let Joe Biden win? | ||
It does seem as though many Republicans have set the bar very low in terms of arguing that Joe Biden is basically senile. | ||
Now you have people like Doug Burgum coming out and saying, well, President Biden is very accomplished, trying to set expectations in a different place. | ||
What do you expect from Joe Biden? | ||
Well, first of all, it would take someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump, to see that Jake Tapper has consistently- Ma'am, we're going to stop this interview if you're going to keep attacking my colleagues. | ||
Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues. | ||
I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for. | ||
Yes. | ||
If you are here to speak on his behalf, I am willing to have this conversation. | ||
I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. | ||
Okay, I'm sorry guys, we're going to come back out to the panel. | ||
Caroline, thank you very much for your time. | ||
You are welcome to come back at any point. | ||
She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump and Donald Trump. | ||
I'm joined now by Deputy Campaign Manager from 2016. | ||
He's got a win on his belt in the ring for it. | ||
Right there, no respect for the National Press Secretary for President Trump. | ||
We've got a minute and then we're going to hold you. | ||
What are your thoughts? | ||
It was outrageous. | ||
CNN has just lost all perspective. | ||
We've known that since 2015. | ||
They have been broken. | ||
They have never been able to fix themselves. | ||
And so when somebody comes on their air... Remember, Zuckerberg would come over and try to have these... Ridiculous. | ||
You have the press secretary coming on stating facts, and you cannot say a word about somebody. | ||
I wish CNN would have me on. | ||
I wish they would have you on. | ||
They will not have anybody who doesn't speak exactly their politically correct speak on their air, and that is dangerous for America. | ||
Okay, I'm going to ask you what a solution is because President Trump has somehow made a decision to save CNN by having this debate. | ||
They're sinking. | ||
unidentified
|
President Trump, don't throw him a lifesaver. | |
Throw him an anchor. | ||
Throw him an anvil. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||
Dave Bossie, the deputy campaign chairman from 2016, is with us next in the world. | ||
FEDERAL AGENCIES HAVE BEEN TURNED AGAINST THE VERY PEOPLE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO SERVE. | ||
three Americans believe Joe Biden was not legitimately elected. It's hardly a surprise | ||
then that trust in the federal government is at historic lows. | ||
unidentified
|
Federal agencies have been turned against the very people they're supposed to serve. | |
The Department of Justice putting out a memorandum saying, oh, we might want to go investigate | ||
parents showing up at school board meetings. | ||
Mr. Friend, you ever been to a school board meeting? | ||
Yes, I have. | ||
FBI ever sent you to the parking lot of a school board meeting? | ||
Yes, they have. | ||
And in the parking lot of a school board meeting where the FBI sent you, you were taking down information regarding people's license plates. | ||
That's correct. | ||
unidentified
|
You got the field office in Richmond, Virginia, putting out a memo saying if you're a pro-life Catholic, you're a potential extremist. | |
We've seen whistleblowers come forward and tell us about Today, an indictment was unsealed, charging Donald J. Trump 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. | ||
censorship effort where big government, big tech, big academia work against conservatives. | ||
So it has most certainly been weaponized against We the People. | ||
The best example, though, of course, is what they've done to President Trump. | ||
Today an indictment was unsealed charging Donald J. Trump. | ||
34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. | ||
41 felony counts. | ||
Today we are filing a lawsuit against Donald Trump. | ||
And you want to talk about the double standard? | ||
All right, let's take classified documents. | ||
That was one of the first ones that the media went in a tizzy over. | ||
The Democrats went in a tizzy. | ||
They're like, we got him! | ||
We got him! | ||
And then they discovered, wait a second, Joe Biden has classified documents. | ||
Not one, not two, everywhere. | ||
He's got them in his garage. | ||
He's got them by his old Corvette. | ||
He practically stuffs them in his underwear. | ||
You know, he sent a lot of them to Chinatown. | ||
He had them at Penn. | ||
unidentified
|
They were all over the place. | |
It was over 50 years. | ||
He took them when he was a senator. | ||
He took them all the time. | ||
But they let him go scot-free. | ||
President Joe Biden willfully retained classified information, but The president will not face criminal charges. | ||
They concluded it would be difficult to get a jury to convict a quote, | ||
sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory, unquote. | ||
unidentified
|
When that report came out, the first thing I said is Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Maduro. | |
You go through the list of dictators, Putin. | ||
All of these guys are reading that report as well and making plans and sizing up | ||
America based on what the Department of Justice said about Biden, about him being | ||
a feeble old man with a poor memory. | ||
So call me old fashioned, but if you're not competent mentally enough to be held | ||
responsible for your crimes, then maybe you shouldn't have the nuclear codes. | ||
you OK, so this is a new film that you've made. | ||
You and I have made, what, 10 or 12 films together? | ||
A lot. | ||
You've made this film. | ||
It's going to come out. | ||
I want to get into it because it's quite amazing. | ||
But I got to go back to the CNN thing. | ||
And you've done, people should know, You've done a lot of debates, negotiations for the president, correct? | ||
With you in 2016 and then with the leadership of the campaign in 2020. | ||
We had some good times. | ||
We did, you know, but we did it the right way. | ||
Was it Ferencov? | ||
Yeah, Frank Ferencov. | ||
What a dirtbag. | ||
What a dirtbag. | ||
By the way, on my way over here. | ||
Look at you right now and lie to you. | ||
On my way over here. | ||
Trump's a big fan of his. | ||
Trump is a huge fan of Ferencov's. | ||
On my way over here, Frank Ferencov announced that they have cancelled their four debates for the year. | ||
Unbelievable. | ||
Are you kidding me? | ||
The Commission on Presidential Debates is dead. | ||
We killed it from two years ago when we did that launch. | ||
That has been a very high priority of President Trump's, has it not? | ||
It has been since 2016. | ||
They rigged the system against us, against Hillary Clinton. | ||
They rigged it again in 2020. | ||
Frank Ferencov Whether it was the modulation of the microphones, right? | ||
The first debate in Austria? | ||
Don't even get me started. | ||
How we have no mics. | ||
They have total control of the mics in a booth. | ||
And remember how they screwed with us in the first one? | ||
Absolutely! | ||
And plus Cuban. | ||
Mark Cuban. | ||
That was amazing. | ||
Matt Drudge came, I mean it was crazy, it was crazy. | ||
Different level, different level. | ||
But I gotta tell you, these guys, the same, in 2020, here's President Trump for you. | ||
In 2020, we rolled into the first debate, which I think was in Miami, and the President sees- The COVID debate. | ||
Yeah, and we see the, and Frank Fahrenkopf and his crews there, President Trump sees the same technical engineer who was in charge of the microphone from 2016. | ||
And he says, Steve, how did I never tell you the story? | ||
He sees the guy and he goes, and he points to him and he says, you, you screwed with my microphone in 2016. | ||
And I thought the guy was going to wet himself. | ||
It was the greatest! | ||
I can't believe I've never shared that story with you before. | ||
Remember in 16, the guy messed with his mic. | ||
So how do we get, okay, so here's the underlying theme of everything you talked about. | ||
1620, the cancellation of the commission, dead, because Trump's a headliner. | ||
Trump plays the big rooms, okay? | ||
Joe Biden is a lounge act, okay? | ||
He's a lounge act. | ||
He can't draw. | ||
You know that. | ||
So we have a headliner. | ||
As you know, when Frank Sinatra walks in, the headliner gets what he wants, right? | ||
Stars get what they want. | ||
For sure. | ||
For sure. | ||
How do we even in this situation? | ||
of the controlled mic with the simple fact of what happened today. | ||
CNN as an institution, their organizing principle is anti-Trump. | ||
They hate him and they despise him and they will do whatever they can on Thursday to harm him. | ||
And whether it is Jake Tapper or whoever else is on, Dana Bash. | ||
And the producers. | ||
Mostly the producers behind the scenes. | ||
They will try to harm him. | ||
They will do something. | ||
I can't imagine that they don't. | ||
This will not be a fair debate. | ||
This is three on one, and guess what? | ||
It's a thousand on one. | ||
Gonna mop him. | ||
He's gonna mop him because he is ready. | ||
He's been waiting for four years for this. | ||
unidentified
|
Hang on a second. | |
Your theory of the case is he's gonna mop him. | ||
I can see that. | ||
In fact, I believe that. | ||
So then we get a replacement. | ||
Here's what I would like. | ||
Here's what I think the campaign ought to do immediately. | ||
Because it's all on CNN, MSNBC, New York Times all day long. | ||
They should say, look. | ||
We're not here for a practice game. | ||
This is not an August NFL exhibition game. | ||
We are here to debate the Democratic Party's nominee for President of the United States. | ||
If that is Newsom, Whitmer, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris or Biden, we don't care. | ||
President Trump is totally indifferent. | ||
But he's not here for a practice. | ||
He's not here for a practice round. | ||
If he mobs the floor, they immediately move to remove Biden. | ||
You're not buying that? | ||
Being the technicians that we are, it's very difficult at this point in time when the delegates have been selected. | ||
Those delegates are either Biden's or Harris's. | ||
You're a Republican. | ||
Let's play by the rules. | ||
It's the Democratic Party. | ||
They're going to lose the presidency. | ||
Don't change any rule they have to change. | ||
No, no. | ||
I don't disagree with you. | ||
who that benefits is Kamala Harris because those people she has spent four | ||
years organizing she spent four years running. Are you saying that Kamala | ||
Harris wouldn't be a worthy opponent of our beloved president? She is the one | ||
person who has a lower approval rating than Joe Biden. | ||
Not just that. | ||
They had her this morning on Morning Joe. | ||
They asked her a straightforward question. | ||
She gives another word salad. | ||
You can't even... Morning Mika sitting there making the face, right? | ||
It's harder to follow than Joe. | ||
It is. | ||
I mean, so no, I don't see that happening only because... Now, if you say, to the vice president. | ||
We're going to bring somebody in to replace Joe. | ||
And oh, by the way, it's Gavin Newsom. | ||
You got to get off the ticket, too, because you're from California. | ||
So she goes from she's never given it up without a fight. | ||
OK, this is a fight to the death for her because she's immaterial after that. | ||
You so you did deliver. | ||
Bossy delivered a big scalp. | ||
The debate... Bossie told me... Bossie, you told me before 16, because you've had a hard-on for this debate commission for a while. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, for sure. | |
A long time. | ||
Because it's been rigged for so long. | ||
We learned it in 16, and then we learned it in 16. | ||
16, but the Republicans were always just kind of went along, and then, hey, whatever. | ||
It took a long time to get along. | ||
Right. | ||
So, are you telling me Ferencov just called, the debate commission has canceled all four debates? | ||
Just now, literally as I was walking in the door ten minutes ago. | ||
It's a fantastic scalp. | ||
It's historic. | ||
What do you mean it's huge? | ||
Look, these are very small things. | ||
And Ferencov hates Trump. | ||
Hates, hates, hates. | ||
The entire group. | ||
Hold it. | ||
They had the Cuban. | ||
Remember, they lied to us on everything. | ||
They lied to us on Cuban, right, sitting in the President's sightline. | ||
Remember, we brought the women there? | ||
That was one of the greatest operations we've ever done. | ||
I told Frank Fahrenkopf and the other guy, the other stooge, I said, hey, we're going to put these women in the family seats. | ||
Remember? | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to put them in the family seats. | |
VIP seats. | ||
He says, you can't do that, bossy. | ||
It's only family. | ||
And I go, is Claire McCaskill? | ||
Claire McCaskill? | ||
Her big butt is We're sitting down there right in the front. | ||
We're putting Paula Jones in there and Juanita Broderick. | ||
She's going to grab on and say, you raped me! | ||
Oh my God. | ||
And they went haywire. | ||
They said, we're going to stop you from doing it. | ||
I said, well, the President's going to personally, Mr. Trump is personally going to walk them up to the stage. | ||
What are you going to do? | ||
We have the Secret Service. | ||
And they literally went haywire. | ||
We didn't end up doing it, but it got in their heads. | ||
The only reason we didn't end up doing it, President Trump made the decision, we went to President Trump. | ||
It's 60 seconds before National Global TV and we said, hey, look, we want to run something by you. | ||
We need your input. | ||
unidentified
|
Mr. President, we need your input. | |
We got 58 seconds and he just kind of says, put the family there, put them in the front row. | ||
But remember, Bill Clinton kept going the side aisle. | ||
That's the most famous photograph from that debate is Bill Clinton looking at the women's side. | ||
I just want to say, tell your listeners, the executive director, Of the Commission on Presidential Debates salary in 2022, okay, for somebody who hasn't put on a debate, and will not put on a debate, is $568,000. | ||
Stop. | ||
Ferencov gets that much money? | ||
No, that's his chief of staff. | ||
They don't do anything. | ||
They don't do anything. | ||
They produce four debates every four years. | ||
That's the best money you could ever have. | ||
There's a U.S. | ||
government, how's that money, where's the money come from? | ||
It's a quasi. | ||
It's one of these public-private partnerships. | ||
Yeah, they take money from all the big corporations. | ||
It's incredible, incredible. | ||
Dave Bossie, that is a big scalp. | ||
It is. | ||
Look, we got two in the last couple years. | ||
One is the debate commission and the other is Liz Cheney. | ||
Remember, we ran the operation to drive her out of the party, which then made Harriet Hageman the nominee. | ||
Harriet, the nominee, it was an unbelievable, it was the only real good thing the RNC's | ||
done in the last week. | ||
And Stefanik take over as conference chair? | ||
Oh yeah, it's been a global change since that. | ||
There were a couple of bank shots in there. | ||
We like to win. | ||
That debt commission, I mean the presidential debate commission, that's a big one. | ||
It is, and it's permanent. | ||
Look, I don't know how four years from now Okay, I'm just saying vis-a-vis CNN. | ||
Trump's a headliner. | ||
He plays the big rooms. | ||
operation that the free market will be able to determine who gets to the base. | ||
I'm just saying vis-a-vis CNN. | ||
Trump's a headliner. | ||
He plays the big rooms. | ||
He's saving, first off, and President Trump thinks this thing through in five dimension | ||
chess which often you and I don't. | ||
Yes. | ||
He's saving CNN. | ||
They're dying. | ||
unidentified
|
I know. | |
They have nothing going on, right? | ||
They're out of business, essentially. | ||
He's given them the biggest TV show in world history. | ||
This will be the biggest debate. | ||
If he doesn't get elected in 16, arguably, they're not even around today. | ||
Oh, big time. | ||
That's the only reason they survived for four years. | ||
As the Washington Post 50% drop in readership, as the reporters getting laid off over there, how much they love Trump, right? | ||
They have a 50% drop off. | ||
I want to hold you to the next break real quickly. | ||
The film is magnificent. | ||
When are people going to be able to see it? | ||
We are launching our Trump vs. Biden film at the convention on June 17th. | ||
So we will be having a lot to say about it. | ||
We're going to tease some folks here with a little snippet of it here in a minute. | ||
No, it plays the cold open coming in. | ||
Okay, we just played it. | ||
Didn't we just play the cold open? | ||
Yeah, we played it. | ||
Okay, good. | ||
Well, you were busy on your phone. | ||
See, this is what happens when you're a big shot. | ||
In the war room, the way it works... I learned from you. | ||
No, no, the way it works, the Schmendricks pay attention. | ||
The big shots get on their phone and talk to their agent. | ||
Hang over a second. | ||
unidentified
|
So the film is... Hold on, hold on, stop. | |
We're going to go to break. | ||

Saving America. | ||
Trump's rescue mission, saving America. | ||
And that's what everybody who's listening to this show is about. | ||
Is President Trump in this film? | ||
He is the star of the show. | ||
This is the greatest cast I've ever put together, including all the great films that we've made together with all the great cast. | ||
This thing has got everybody in it, from Byron Donalds, Matt Gaetz, Tom Homan, Ronnie Jackson, Jim Jordan, Keith Kellogg, Larry Kudlow, Carrie Lake, Jeff Landry, Ana Paulina Luna, Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, Russ Vogt. | ||
How long is this film? | ||
It's an hour and 11 minutes long. | ||

The website's going to be up around 1 July? | ||
It'll be out just after the 4th of July. | ||
Are you still editing this film? | ||
Dave and I have gone to a premiere before. | ||
What do you mean? | ||
The thing, it's dripping. | ||
It's still wet. | ||
You know what, that's the best way because you want the film to be as fresh and current as possible and that's what this is. | ||
Every day Joe Biden does something screwed up that needs to be in the film. | ||
Or something that Donald Trump does that needs to be in the film that people need to know about. | ||
This is a war film. | ||
This is our war film for this year. | ||
We have to save America, and I hope that this comes a little bit to educate the American people about it. | ||
Should he go back to CNN and say, hey, you disrespected me today, you disrespected the people? | ||
You know what, I think he should definitely have some strong, strong language for them, because he needs to make sure they understand that he may not come. | ||
Because you can't treat him this way. | ||
You can't, you just can't kick off, you know, our press secretary. | ||
The starting show of the week on CNN, they dump her! | ||
unidentified
|
She didn't even do anything! | |
It's not like having one of us on. | ||
She was nice! | ||
She was about to throw some receipts up on Jake Tapper, which everybody knows he hates Trump, right? | ||
She didn't even get to him. | ||
It's a no-brainer. | ||
It's a no-brainer. | ||
What they're going to do is take a beating all week, and they need to. | ||
They need to have people like us on. | ||
The control room can't control Trump's mic. | ||
Bottom line. | ||
I agree with that. | ||
I, too, do agree with that. | ||
Mike Lindell. | ||
