I had a bad night. | |
| I had a bad night. | ||
| And the fact of the matter is that, you know, I screwed up. | ||
| I made a mistake. | ||
| But I learned from my father, when you get knocked down, just get back up. | ||
| Get back up. | ||
| And, you know, we're going to win this election. | ||
| We're going to just beat Donald Trump like we did in 2020. | ||
| We're going to beat him again. | ||
| But we need all of you to get this done, all of you. | ||
| Look, I came back from, I was in a situation where, why? | ||
| I didn't have a good debate. | ||
| It seems to show the president losing support since his unsettling debate performance. | ||
| Not surprising, but still showing up in the data. | ||
| According to a New York Times Siena poll today, Donald Trump now leads Biden by 6% | ||
| among likely voters nationally, a three-point swing to Trump | ||
| from just a week earlier before the debate. | ||
| That is, by the way, the largest lead Donald Trump has ever recorded in that Times poll going back to 2015. | ||
| Not great. | ||
| Even more disturbingly, 74% of registered voters agree with the statement Joe Biden is just too old to be an effective president, including nearly two-thirds of Democrats. | ||
| I said they pulled how other names might perform in the presidential race. | ||
| They didn't. | ||
| Right now, President Biden's the story. | ||
| The nomination is his to accept. | ||
| He won the delegates. | ||
| He ran in the primary. | ||
| He won it. | ||
| Or to decline. | ||
| And while the flood of skeptics is rising, with yet another major newspaper, this time the Boston Globe, calling on Biden to bow out of the election, the White House press secretary trumpeted Biden's upcoming schedule of interviews and meeting with party leaders and said he was unmoved by growing questions and criticism. | ||
|

|
Is President Biden considering stepping down? | |
| Absolutely not. | ||
| What steps would the President be taking or would you as a team plan to try to prevent another episode in public that would be deemed worrisome? | ||
| I would not call it an episode. | ||
| I would call it we had a bad night. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It was not his best night. | ||
| He had a cold. | ||
| He was jet lagged. | ||
| You heard directly from the president about this. | ||
| And when we get back, when we get knocked down, when he gets knocked down, he gets right back up. | ||
| And that's what I would, that's what I would focus on. | ||
| Biden also participated in a campaign call today where he reportedly told staffers, I'm running. | ||
| No one's pushing me out. | ||
| I'm not leaving. | ||
| I'm in this race to the end and we're going to win. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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 line? | ||
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. Bannon. | |
| Welcome to War Room. | ||
| Dave Brat sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| I said I'd start every show in honor of Steve. | ||
| He's got the sign of the cross behind him on the War Room in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. | ||
| We're going after the truth on this show, the truth that will save this republic. | ||
| And I just want to open this show with a reminder. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon said, don't send me mail. | ||
| Don't send me heartfelt letters. | ||
| No time for crying in the war room. | ||
| That's Steve himself. | ||
| What he wants us to do is redouble our efforts and to keep this war room churning out powerful information that motivates us all to take action. | ||
| And so that's what we have lined up today. | ||
| That's what we're going to do every day. | ||
| Let me start off, though, just with a couple preliminary remarks. | ||
| We need you to spread this platform, right? | ||
| With Steve out, you all know, when Steve goes on a rant, no one else can do that. | ||
| I can't do that. | ||
| I'm not Steve. | ||
| No one can pull off what he does on a daily basis. | ||
| I'm reading 20 papers and scanning everything the way he does. | ||
| To do our best. | ||
| We got a great team here with Grace and Mo and Cameron and the Denver crew all doing great work to keep this show going full speed ahead. | ||
| We need you. | ||
| You have to share this platform with everybody so we make the numbers increase, right? | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon right now, as a reminder, on July 4, on Independence Day, is in jail. | ||
| So everyone says they love Steve. | ||
| What does it mean to love someone? | ||
| In the Judeo-Christian West, when God loved us, he gave his own son a sacrifice of extraordinary grace. | ||
| And so for Steve, on a human level, let us all pitch in here. | ||
| What were the founders doing in 1776? | ||
| They were battling it out against the greatest empire on this earth. | ||
| So July 4th, as Steve would say, go grab your hot dog, enjoy the family, celebrate, but Get back to work. | ||
| We got work to do. | ||
| Just want to go over a brief review of what we covered last week. | ||
| We had Kevin Roberts on. | ||
| We went through a highly rational discussion of what it means to save the republic, and the left went hyperbolic on that messaging. | ||
| The basic message was a republic differs from a democracy. | ||
| We believe in the Judeo-Christian tradition enshrined minority rights Into the Bill of Rights, minority rights, every individual. | ||
| We're a nation of individuals under the law. | ||
| And it was that law came straight from Exodus, Deuteronomy, etc. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| I think Deuteronomy is the most cited book by the founders. | ||
| So we have a continuous tradition of caring for the rest of the world. | ||
| We follow that Judeo-Christian tradition. | ||
| It made us the most powerful country, the wealthiest country. | ||
| We've been blessed beyond all comprehension. | ||
| And then the Christians got a little Minnesota nice and got stupid, right? | ||
| We gave our universities away to the secular crew that don't have a worldview, right? | ||
| The word secular, there is no such thing as a secular worldview. | ||
| You need to define that. | ||
| And these Open Society folks, right? | ||
| The Karl Poppers and the Soroses and the Open Societies and the Foundations. | ||
| They sound nice. | ||
| Open, open, open. | ||
| But it turns out the open society people are close to Russia, Russian culture, China culture, India culture, Christianity, Judaism, Islam. | ||
| So seven of the eight billion people on this world live out a religious worldview. | ||
| And that's what this fight is about. | ||
| And it's a fight, right? | ||
| These things are not reconcilable. | ||
| The Marxist worldview is not reconcilable with a Judeo-Christian. | ||
| We tried. | ||
| We were accommodative. | ||
| We gave away the shop in order that we could have a peaceful society. | ||
| But now the minority rights folks are sexualizing our kids in kindergarten through the third grade at young, young ages in ways that no one could imagine. | ||
| The trajectory of our language has changed. | ||
| No one had a hard time envisioning what it meant to fight for this country and maintain liberty. | ||
| There was no debate back at the Revolutionary period, the Civil War period, World War II against Hitler. | ||
| And so all of this, it's just making us double down, right? | ||
| And get our first principles back in mind. | ||
| On the Hitler piece, that always comes out as the ultimate moral arbiter, right? | ||
| Whoever can throw Hitler in effectively. | ||
| Hitler, just as a reminder, was a communist in 1919 and then joined up with the German Nationalist Party, and he's the one that injected the term socialism in, right? | ||
| National socialism. | ||
| So he wasn't a Marxist socialist. | ||
| He flipped it to the racist socialism. | ||
| It is anti-Semitism, no bounds. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| The U.S. | ||
| Republic is set up precisely to combat that. | ||
| So that can never happen again. | ||
| But that does not mean we give up our ideals. | ||
| Our ideals are always up. | ||
| And the war room knows that. | ||
| And so that's the fight before us. | ||
| We've got some great guests. | ||
| We got Mark Mitchell coming right up. | ||
| We got Patty Lyman, the Republican chair to the convention. | ||
| We got Mike Davis. | ||
| Everybody's going to kind of give us a week in review. | ||
| There was so much news coming out of the courts. | ||
| It's hard to keep track of it. | ||
| And then all the politics, and then of course the debate, and then the Democratic Party is in absolute turmoil. | ||
| So Stephen K. Bannon likes telling the truth, and part of the truth is gathering the receipts. | ||
| Just what do the numbers say? | ||
| Where do we stand? | ||
| Time to take a good hard look. | ||
| Where do we stand? | ||
| What do we have to do going forward? | ||
| And so for that, there's no better person to step in. | ||
| Mark Mitchell, why don't you give us the biggest bullet points you're watching right now in the polling for Rasmussen, doing a great job. | ||
| And then we'll chime in a little bit and we'll probably go through the break for sure. | ||
| So Mark, tee us up. | ||
| We just be basking in the utter chaos caused by this debate last week. | ||
| It's just, I mean, it has to be one of the biggest things that possibly could have been happened in this cycle. | ||
| And it's going to upset the worst car in a way that I don't think anybody has really been able to wrestle with. | ||
| Now I would, I would caution the viewers about looking at really early, you know, new 2024 matchup numbers. | ||
| Our new numbers are coming out next week. | ||
| I think it's, It's really too early to understand what happened, you know, from a pre- and post-debate perspective, but I'll tell you, American voters gave us a report card of the debate, and it was absolutely horrible. | ||
| And as you listen to these numbers, forget about Democrat voters. | ||
| The Democrats decided that Democrat voters shouldn't have a say in who their presidential candidate was going to be this time around. | ||
| But imagine being a billionaire donor that gives to Democrats, or imagine being a Democrat, Congressman, or Republican, somebody that's running with the presidential candidate right on top of their name on the ballot. | ||
| Keep those people in mind as you listen to some of these numbers. | ||
| So, American likely voters told us that Donald Trump won the debate by an astounding 57% To 22%. | ||
| That is a 35 point margin. | ||
| When pre-debate, it was only a 10 point margin. | ||
| So in one week, Americans swung 25 points. | ||
| It's just absolutely incredible. | ||
| And the worst thing for the Democrats is who are the people that changed their minds the most? | ||
| Now, I will say 88% of the electorate Told us that they watched at least some of that debate. | ||
| People were watching. | ||
| 53% said they watched all of it. | ||
| Men, pre-debate, 12% more said Trump would win. | ||
| Post-debate, 44%. | ||
| That's a 32-point swing. | ||
| Black voters. | ||
| Pre-debate, black voters said that Biden was going to win by 34 points. | ||
| Post-debate, they say Trump won by 9. | ||
| That's a 43-point swing. | ||
| And Democrats was the big one, from Trump down 52 to Trump down 20, a 32-point swing. | ||
| So post-debate, only 45% of Democrats say Joe Biden won. | ||
| 25% say Donald Trump won. | ||
| Of course, there's a whole lot of not sures because they can't just bring themselves to say it. | ||
| But here's the big one. | ||
| After the debate, many commentators said that Joe Biden should step aside as this year's presidential candidate and let the Democratic Party choose another candidate instead. | ||
| Agree or disagree. | ||
| 55% of voters agree with that statement. | ||
| 38% strongly Only 36% disagree. | ||
| Now, in the matchups, Biden's getting 40, 41%. | ||
| But now only 36% of voters say he shouldn't step aside. | ||
| And the Democrat numbers are 48% agree now, 48% of Democrats, that Joe Biden should step aside. | ||
| Party should pick somebody else. | ||
| Only 45% disagree. | ||
| 45% disagree. | ||
| Black voters, 57% agree to only 36% disagree. | ||
| 18 to 39 year olds, 74% agree. | ||
| Only 20% of 18 to 39 year olds don't think the Democrats should pick another candidate. | ||
| And the last one out of this set, if Joe Biden were to step aside, would the Democrats be better off making Vice President Kamala Harris their candidate, or should they choose someone else? | ||
| And this is the beauty of the situation the Democrats found themselves in. | ||
| 50% of voters say they should choose someone else. | ||
| Only 33% say Kamala Harris. | ||
| So fewer people want Kamala Harris to be the replacement as say, should disagree that Joe Biden step aside. | ||
| So she's basically doing worse than Biden is. | ||
| And then Democrat voters, only 45% of Democrats want Kamala 39% want somebody else, so it's a slight plurality in her favor. | ||
| Of course, independents, it's 25% want Kamala, 55% don't. | ||
| Even black voters, 49% of black voters want Kamala. | ||
| That's really low considering she is ostensibly the diversity candidate, but 39% of black voters say the Democrats should choose someone else. | ||
| Women, only 34% for Kamala, 50% someone else. | ||
| So this is just I mean, just a resounding and utter horrifying defeat for Joe Biden. | ||
| They're not going to be able to listen. | ||
| If it was a cold, if it was jet lag, you know, Americans going into this debate, they had concerns about Joe Biden's age. | ||
| I mean, this just seals the deal. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Mark Mitchell, we're going to pull you back right after the break as well. | ||
| Thanks for that baseline. | ||
| And then maybe we'll dig into a little bit. | ||
| It's probably too early to tell, right? | ||
| But it, you know, my neck was hurting from whiplash following the gyrations of the mainstream media and who they were for. | ||
| And I'd be interested in your take on how powerful that mainstream media penetration into the voters minds is. | ||
| So think on that over the break and stay with the War Room. | ||
| We'll be right back with Mark Mitchell. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Back in the war room with Dave Brat sitting in with Stephen K. Bannon and just honored to have | ||
| Patty Lyman in the house with us at the war room. | ||
| Patti's a Major League Republican champion, going to be representing our country at the National Convention. | ||
| All political views are my own, but I've got to see her in action, giving a few speeches. | ||
| She lights up the room. | ||
| And she's just a powerful force for all the great principles that America stands for. | ||
| And today we really want to get her in for a little political prognostication, a week in review. | ||
| It's been a week. | ||
| No, I don't think anybody's got it all in their head and what it all means. | ||
| You just heard Mark Mitchell covering, you know, just the basics and it takes, you know, 10 to 15 minutes just to cover the basics. | ||
| Patty, Herculean lift for you, but give us your week in review. | ||
| What are the most important points that the War Room Posse needs to know so that we can keep this show moving forward and our Republic safe for the next generation? | ||
| Patty Lyman, fire away. | ||
| Thank you so much for having me, Dave. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| When I was listening to Mark talk, and he was talking about the surveys about, is Joe Biden too old for this job? | ||
| Whatever. | ||
| The issue isn't that Joe Biden is too old for the job. | ||
| When my favorite president, Donald Trump, is more than halfway through his next term, when he's 81, he's going to be doing fine. | ||
| He'll be on all four cylinders. | ||
| The problem with Joe Biden is that it's very, very clear he has dementia. | ||
| But the bigger problem with Joe Biden is even if he were of his right mind, David, he is ruining this country. | ||
| He and his party are hell-bent on destroying the lives of regular people. | ||
| They never, ever stop. | ||
| I think what's so important about this past week is that anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear Even Democrats now understand that we don't have any middle ground with the party that Joe Biden leads. | ||
| We don't have any chance for compromise with these people. | ||
| We have to defeat them so we can intervene with policies that are good for everyone in America. | ||
| We have to beat them and intervene. | ||
| We can't have any compromise with them. | ||
| We won't come to any agreement. | ||
| Because people around us are hurting very, very badly, and it's not by accident. | ||
| I listened to Harriet Hageman being interviewed about the situation with Joe Biden, and I don't mind saying that I was instrumental. | ||
| I wrote the first draft. | ||
| that essentially kicked Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger out of the party, and that started | ||
| the dominoes to replacing Liz Cheney with Harriet Hageman. | ||
| Harriet had brilliant points to make, which is the issue isn't who's going to run for the | ||
| Democrats or what do we do then. The issue is who is making decisions right now for this country? Who is | ||
| deciding to withhold aid from Israel? | ||
| That's a conscious decision being made. | ||
| Who is deciding to have more people than ever flood into the southern border? | ||
| We need investigations right now to find out who is making decisions in this administration and stop the bleeding right now. | ||
| We've got a national security crisis on our hands. | ||
| Yeah, outstanding. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon says we've got a national security crisis heading toward a constitutional crisis. | ||
| Based on the ideas you just laid out right there. | ||
| Who is running, right? | ||
| Who's got their finger on the button? | ||
| At this time, we just had Colonel retired John Mills on the other day. | ||
| I asked him to go over the four wars. | ||
| You know, we had peace and prosperity under President Trump. | ||
| Just four years ago, I said, just cover the major, you know, four wars, Taiwan and Red Sea and Ukraine, et cetera. | ||
| And he covered 14, 14 hotspots blowing up right now, right with. | ||
| And I asked him, you know, we got American boots on the ground. | ||
| And he said, well, that depends on how you find it. | ||
| But roughly speaking, we're involved. | ||
| And so and no one knows any of this. | ||
| What what is your. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| You don't want to get down into the petty on the politics. | ||
| But what's your estimation of the role in the media on this? | ||
| I can't make heads or tails, right? | ||
| Because at first, everyone came out against Biden after the speech. | ||
| And then, you know, the next day, 12 hours later, Obama appears to have come out and said, no, circle of wagons. | ||
| And everybody backed off. | ||
| Now you've got a trickling again of Democrats going into the mainstream media, and this is risky business for them. | ||
| This is their life, right? | ||
| If they oppose the president and say Biden won by some miracle, they're on the outs with the president of the United States, right? | ||
| And so the conventional wisdom was Biden's got the electoral votes, but Obama owns the media. | ||
| And so what's your assessment of what is the media doing? | ||
| Who are they working for? | ||
| You teed it up, but that's the question. | ||
| And the globalist is not some simple calculation, right? | ||
| It's the Chinese, it's the National Defense Establishment, it's Wall Street, it's Soros, it's Davos. | ||
| It's global billionaires all fighting for their own ends and purposes, and they work at cross-purposes. | ||
| But in America for, you know, Megaland, that is a working hypothesis. | ||
| So those forces are pushing things on the left. | ||
| And so what's your analysis where we stand right now with the media and these billionaire class? | ||
| Well, the media have all been made out to be total liars. | ||
| They were feigning surprise. | ||
| They've not been surprised at any of this. | ||
| I mean, Dave, we all know it. | ||
| It's Obama. | ||
| It's been Obama. | ||
| It's always been Obama. | ||
| Let me ask you a question. | ||
| What president can you ever remember who, after his term in office, Didn't go back home, wherever home is, didn't go back home, but instead bought a house down the street from the White House and kept his operation going a few blocks down from the White House and inserted his people in the White House. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| He's running the show. | ||
| He's always been running the show. | ||
| And I don't know what it is that—what his ideal is at this point. | ||
| I mean, it's become a popular parlor game to say, oh, Michelle Obama's going to run and she's going to win, all this other nonsense. | ||
| I don't know what he's going to do, but this is what I know that our party needs to do, Dave. | ||
| We need to straighten up, get serious, quit our nonsense about criticizing Trump, this, that, or the other. | ||
| Oh, do I run from Trump? | ||
| Oh, do I endorse Trump? | ||
| I mean, I'm tired of that. | ||
| Donald Trump is the horse that we have to ride, and anybody that does not get on board with him, the problem is them, not President Trump. | ||
| And I'm tired of hearing people talking about, oh, 11th commandment, Reagan's 11th commandment. | ||
| That's nonsense. | ||
| Reagan ran in primaries all the time. | ||
| He criticized other Republicans. | ||
| And Republicans that are trying to undermine our nominee Our president, they did it through his whole term in office. | ||
| They're still doing it. | ||
| We need to call them out and they need to get on board or go do something else. | ||
| Yeah, I'm in. | ||
| I'm in. | ||
| Patti Lyman, thank you for being with us. | ||
| Give us your coordinates. | ||
| But I first want to also say, Not only is he our horse, but he's the only horse that's strong enough to make it through. | ||
| Can you imagine? | ||
| I mean, people play these false scenarios. | ||
| I was friends with all the other folks, you know, DeSantis and whatever. | ||
| He's very smart, very capable. | ||
| But oh my word, what Trump has had to endure, no one else could have done it, right? | ||
| A man of that Herculean strength, Uh, was needed at this moment in time. | ||
| And so, uh, Patty, thanks for being out. | ||
| Give us your coordinates. | ||
| How do people reach you and then motivate the world? | ||
| How do they spread the word to keep this show blasting on all cylinders for Steve? | ||
| They can reach me. | ||
| I have a Facebook page, Patti Lyman, RNC National Committee Woman for Virginia. | ||
| I'm also at Patti Lyman on Getter and I think also on X. Everybody needs to spread the word. | ||
| This program changed my life. | ||
| I started watching it right after the November 2020 elections. | ||
| It changed my life in terms of what I'm aware of. | ||
| Everybody needs to share these links. | ||
| Everybody needs to be on board. | ||
| All hands on deck. | ||
| You got it. | ||
| All right, Patty, back with Mark Mitchell right now. | ||
| Thank you, Patty. | ||
| Super job. | ||
| Mark, we just finished talking about some of the next sub themes. | ||
| Keep us going with the numbers for another couple of minutes, and then we'll conclude the polling. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, as Patty astutely pointed out, this is about the media. | ||
| This isn't really about Joe Biden. | ||
| Even going into the debate, 57% of voters said over time he's getting less and less mentally sharp. | ||
| Only 34% said no. | ||
| But people knew the media was covering it up. | ||
| voters said it's at least somewhat likely. | ||
| Media is helping cover up evidence of President Biden's declining mental sharpness. | ||
| Now, the media has lost tons and tons of trust, but they still have somewhat more trust with | ||
| Democrats. | ||
| Now, we all know the media has thrown their lot in with the establishment candidate, and | ||
| I think that's what's to look at. | ||
| If you ask me about the race right now, no current suggested Democrat candidate can beat | ||
| Trump, is close to beating Trump in our numbers, is even really doing better than Biden, to | ||
| But what I will say is the most prominent ones, like Newsom and Harris, they actually poll worse against Trump than Joe Biden does. | ||
| And the reason that is, is because of Democrats. | ||
| Democrats actually have lower favorability for Harris and for Newsom. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| you know, the independents or Republicans, very similar numbers with Biden. So the lift for the | ||
| media is going to be to convince the Democrats to swallow another candidate. But just for the | ||
| record breaking news media numbers is the problem of bias in the news media getting better or worse. | ||
| 9% say better. 61% say worse. Democrats, 14% better, 45% say worse. And no matter how much | ||
| you hate the media, it's not enough. | ||
| 45% of Americans agree with that statement. | ||
| Only 28% disagree. | ||
| So what's going to happen now? | ||
| Yeah, you're going to have to get a new candidate over the line. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Mark, thank you very much. | ||
| Give us your coordinates and share how we reach you in Erasmus and all the great work you guys do. | ||
| Yeah, we love being on Twitter and YouTube. | ||
| They're really great partners that help get information out there to voters who otherwise wouldn't hear this information. | ||
| So follow us at Rasmussen underscore poll. | ||
| And YouTube too. | ||
| I break all these things down in the videos. | ||
| Our biggest viewed video is actually about election integrity. | ||
| So come on over at Rasmussen underscore poll. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Awesome. | |
| Mark Rasmussen, our thanks for bringing the receipts, the truth. | ||
| And just great polling analysis as always. | ||
| I think you're giving the War Room a prism through which we can look to see how we make strides forward to save this great country. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Back in the war room with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Weekend Reviews segment. | ||
| So much has happened this week. | ||
| It's hard to take in. | ||
| It's hard to analyze. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon sees years around the corner. | ||
| Without him at the helm, it's incumbent to bring in the A-team. | ||
| And so we have Mike Davis coming in, and he's going to frame the Week in Review. | ||
| It's Independence weekend, July 4th. | ||
| Freedom is in the air. | ||
| Our constitutional republic is hanging. | ||
| We need to keep it strong. | ||
| And before we get it with Mike, I just want to make one or two remarks on this freedom thing. | ||
| I'm friends with a lot of freedom people, right? | ||
| Libertarians, free market people, etc. | ||
| It's hard to have free markets when you don't have free people. | ||
| Right, when you put the leading economist under the Trump team for China in jail, and then you put the lead spokesman for the Trump campaign in 2016, and the chief strategist who sees most clearly around the corners, Stephen K. Bannon in jail, and then President Trump was supposed to go to jail July 12, but they're making political calculations, and so they string it out a little bit. | ||
| Mike might tell us what's going on there with the strategy. | ||
| All political views are my own, but this is just a call-out because the whole country's watching, folks, to see who's got the heart and love for this country and who's got some character and moral decency. | ||
| All the freedom people, I don't see writing any letters In the main newspapers on behalf of Peter Navarro or Stephen Cate Bannon or speaking out or doing anything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so this is this free market idea where you get tax cuts for the rich and whatever. | ||
| Hey, I'm on board that train with certain caveats. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like you're not making the dole off of China. | ||
| You're not a monopoly. | ||
| You don't have a guaranteed government contract, etc. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Tax cuts work. | ||
| But the freedom guys, you've got to come clean here and support our heroes who we need in the fight right now for this message to hold strong. | ||
| And so, Mike Davis, we're happy to have you on. | ||
| Mike gave us, you know, the steps of the Supreme Court, his Article 3, right? | ||
| Article 3 is the judiciary, the courts. | ||
| His project has just done incredible work, and he's just been a firebrand. | ||
| Never scared to tell the truth. | ||
| So, Mike, welcome to The War Room, as always, your crowd favorite. | ||
| And so, give us your best political highlights. | ||
| Week in Review, what does it all mean? | ||
|
unidentified
|
At the end of this week, where are we at? | |
| President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term was the transformation of the left of center courts to the first constitutionalist Supreme Court in 90 years. | ||
| And this is critically important for our country because just think about What these decisions would be if we had Hillary Clinton replacing Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court with some leftist instead of President Trump replacing Justice Scalia on the court with Justice Neil Gorsuch, my former boss. | ||
| You also saw President Trump continue and complete that transformation with the appointments of Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Amy Coney Barrett. | ||
| And while these judges may disappoint us from time to time, no one can doubt the fact that we have the first constitutionalist majority in 90 years. | ||
| We saw some monumental 6-3 decisions that came out of the Supreme Court. | ||
| And just imagine if we had a Democrat-controlled Supreme Court. | ||
| We would still be locked up With the COVID lockdowns, we would still be wearing COVID masks. | ||
| I mean, this is... I always say this. | ||
| This is not our parents' or grandparents' Democrat Party. | ||
| These aren't liberals who disagree with us on the best way to get there and love America. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| These are leftists. | ||
| These are Marxists. | ||
| And they hate America. | ||
| They hate free speech. | ||
| They believe in censorship. | ||
| They hate equality, they believe in equity and they hate due process | ||
| and equal protection under the law. | ||
| They believe in a politicized and weaponized justice system, whether it's Me Too justice, | ||
| the presumption of guilt, or whether it's this Biden Democrat lawfare and election interference. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. Let me stop you right there, because I agree with everything you just said. | |
| And for the people listening, the leftist attack on all that thing, how would you— | ||
| The thing that conservatives don't understand, including myself, is what's the worldview at work there, right? | ||
| Most Republicans go to work every day. | ||
| They're a small business. | ||
| They work hard. | ||
| They take care of their family. | ||
| They don't have time to go deep in the weeds like you do, intellectuals do, that work on these on Article 3 issues all day. | ||
| What is the real-world view? | ||
| Because you're right, in some sense, it's a Marxist attack, right? | ||
| You can clearly see the attack on God. | ||
| There's no God in schools, and right when that starts happening, there's an attack on the family, right? | ||
| The family's out of whack right now with divorce rates and kids' wedlock, etc. | ||
| The public school system, I googled the other day Chicago, the poor kids in Chicago, 12% are reading at grade level, right? | ||
| 12% of third graders, of poor third graders in Chicago, and similar around the whole thing, right? | ||
| And we used to have liberals, like you said. | ||
| Hey, we all agree the kids got to read, right? | ||
| The only thing that's going up with the cost of education is the number of bureaucrats, and they're not working on reading and writing and arithmetic. | ||
| They're working on everything you just said. | ||
| And so the Marxist piece wants to cut off God and any other higher-level ideals, right? | ||
| They want power. | ||
| But how do you describe that worldview that we're fighting so we can fight against it better? | ||
| Today's Marxists, today's leftists, they don't believe in gods. | ||
| Their god is power on earth and that's their goal. | ||
| That's their god is power on earth and their religion or strategy to get to their goal or god of power on earth is Marxism, but they can't talk about that because Marxism's not popular, so they try to do it through their various religious sects or tactics, and that is chaos and division. | ||
| And you see this with everything the Democrats do. | ||
| They want to divide and conquer our country by pitting us against each other. | ||
| They want us to think that that our skin pigment or our genitals or our attraction to | ||
| genitals or our perception of genitals or all these other ways that they try to divide | ||
| and conquer us is a qualification or disqualification and it's not, right? | ||
| They don't believe in merits on the left. | ||
| What they want to do is they want to destroy our country through by dividing and conquering | ||
| us. | ||
| And so these people who think that Democrats actually care about poor black people, why | ||
| do Democrats trap poor black people? | ||
| In fatherless homes, why do they trap them in failed government schools, the failed government school monopoly? | ||
| Why do these Democrats trap poor black people in intergenerational poverty with their crime ridden neighborhoods? | ||
| Republicans want to provide everyone opportunity, right? | ||
| And that's just a different worldview. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, right. | ||
| No, that's exactly right. | ||
| And so, you know, the trajectory Obama Biden clearly had his Marxist leanings that he would lightly touch on. | ||
| I think he's upset that he didn't go harder when he was in-house. | ||
| And then Biden comes in and Obama's in the background with Susan Rice and everybody pushing full steam ahead. | ||
| And Biden, I knew him years ago, didn't seem like a Marxist, but just a shell for it. | ||
| And so what's your best guess now, the political prognostication going forward? | ||
| And you know, the mainstream media also, you know, they're not Marxists. | ||
| I know they're a bunch of young 30-year-old typists, right? | ||
| They're not really Marxists. | ||
| But as Mike Benz has shown, the CNNs and some of the major media, they're on the payrolls of the Department of Defense, the State Department, etc. | ||
| I mean, I got to look up those receipts. | ||
| And so who's at the top pulling the strings? | ||
| That's what everybody wants to know, right? | ||
| Everybody's going along with the big money. | ||
| Where's the big money that's forcing these huge undercurrents that we're all living out? | ||
| The three people most responsible for America's demise is you have China, you have George Soros, and you have President Barack Obama. | ||
| Those are the people who are driving this. | ||
| Barack Obama pretends like he's some moderate, he's some reasonable man. | ||
| He is a hard-charging Marxist. | ||
| That's how he was raised. | ||
| That's how he was brought up. | ||
| And he is subversive. | ||
| And he has his people, like you said, the Susan Rices of the world, the Lisa Monacos | ||
| the world who are running the Biden administration, they're running the Biden White House, | ||
| they're running the broader Biden administration, including the Biden Justice Department. There's | ||
| no question that Obama's, this is Obama's third term. Right. | ||
| Hey, Mike, in closing, a minute or two on the weekend review, in your own view, what's the | ||
| most important thing we should take out of this week. | ||
| One, as far as what the Democrats are doing, and then secondly, what should our team do in the war room and how do we spread a coherent message to keep the war room vibrant? | ||
| And all political views are my own, but Mike, feel free to have at it. | ||
| As I said, President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term was the transformation of the Supreme Court to the first constitutionalist majority in 90 years, and it is hanging by a thread. | ||
| And I would say this to the war room posse, do you want President Trump or President Biden replacing Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. | ||
| This election is the most important election of our lifetimes. | ||
| We always hear that. | ||
| I actually mean it because if President Biden wins and replaces Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court with Tanya Shukin or some radical like that, there goes our God-given rights to speak, to associate, to worship, to protect ourselves. | ||
| Everything is on the line on November 5th, 2024. | ||
| Mike, if you want to hold on a minute, we're going to go into a break. | ||
| I want to keep you going. | ||
| We got a couple of great folks joining us in the next block. | ||
| Bill Federer, Larry Schweikert, some historians to follow on the great independence weekend that Stephen K. Bannon always puts into play. | ||
| I was going to have E.J. | ||
| Antoni on, but Mike, you may want to weigh in on this after the break. | ||
| I'm just stunned to see the media, right? | ||
| Axios, media, etc. | ||
| They're shilling for the United States Chamber of Commerce. | ||
| A lot of people may not know what this is, right? | ||
| But this is the big boys. | ||
| The big Fortune 500 firms, they pay to have a lobbyist. | ||
| And the Chamber of Commerce, you know, stands for business in America. | ||
| As General Motors goes, so the nation goes, you know, da da da da. | ||
| Well, shocker, on this show, I've been saying for the last four years or longer, whatever, productivity has been going down for 70 years and CBO has it going down for the next 30 years. | ||
| You heard it on the war room first. | ||
| No one else has been saying that thing. | ||
| Peter, except Peter Navarro knows all this stuff in his sleep, right? | ||
| But so that's been our message. | ||
| Now the chamber comes out and says, Oh my word, we got to get back to economic growth, right? | ||
| So they see President Trump likely coming into power and they want to shape things their way. | ||
| So we want growth. | ||
| So there's four articles in a row on Axios. | ||
| I'll probably scratch the surface here, but I'll go into them on the other side of the break. | ||
| But then they say they want to be more bipartisan and they want to have a lot more, you know, green initiatives that the Democrats like. | ||
| They want to work across the aisle with the Democrats on, you know, more entitlements, more government spending and government programs and bureaucracies that are good for jobs, etc. | ||
| Well, of course, all that cuts exactly against economic growth and productivity. | ||
| And they have papers three and four. | ||
| I'll fill you in right after the break. | ||
| So hang with us on The War Room, but please share the articles we're sharing with you, these clips with friends you have. | ||
| You're not going to get anybody better than Mike Davis on the Supreme Court and the issues. | ||
| Share those segments with your lawyer friends so they see, hey, I didn't know that. | ||
| That's what converts people to the truth. | ||
| When the light bulb goes on, great things happen. | ||
| Stay with the war. | ||

War room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. | ||
| Bannon. | ||
| Dave Brat back in the war room with Stephen K. | ||
| Bannon and Mike Davis. | ||
| Some of the Article 3 project hitting on all cylinders here in the war room. | ||
| Please share every one of these episodes with your friends. | ||
| Links, how to use it. | ||
| Young people especially, you know how to work the technology. | ||
| Let it rip for this country. | ||
| Just in the middle of a little rip on the U.S. | ||
| Chamber of Commerce, they say we need economic growth, and if you make that pie grow, it's better off for everyone. | ||
| Well, that's good to hear. | ||
| So why haven't you been doing that the whole time? | ||
| I did my PhD in economic growth, so let me go over just real quickly the three things that cause growth. | ||
| And let's see where the U.S. | ||
| Chamber is on all these. | ||
| All right, so number one, the first variable is capital. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| capital formation. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| Chamber has been loving China for some time now. | ||
| And so the U.S. | ||
| folks, and we've had these charts up on the War Room, they're all at RAT Economics on Getter. | ||
| War Room may be interested to know that China has a bigger capital pool than the United States of America to work with. | ||
| So every year you add to capital, that's called investment in capital, but then the capital stock is the total amount of capital. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| has $70 trillion in capital right now. | ||
| China has $100 trillion. | ||
| Because Capital equipment is in the private sector. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| Chamber knows full well all the new jobs have gone to health care and government workers, and all the new jobs over the past year have been part-time, and all the new jobs over the past four years have gone to foreign-born workers. | ||
| The chamber has been in on that border invasion and illegal immigration as well, knowing full well. | ||
| So then they say we got to be bipartisan and work with the Democrats. | ||
| Well, the Democrats are responsible for the zero percent economic growth, and the government produces negative economic growth, not just low productivity, but just transfer payments to things that are not productive at all. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Then second, human capital. | ||
| It's K-12 education. | ||
| The Democrats used to care, right? | ||
| The liberals used to care about the kids. | ||
| Chicago, inner city, poor kids, now 12% are reading at grade level in the third grade. | ||
| Just go Google it. | ||
| It's the first thing that comes up. | ||
| And then finally, technology is doing great, but only the rich are participating in that technical growth. | ||
| And the chamber knows all of this, right? | ||
| So then secondly, they say, bipartisan. | ||
| Then thirdly, they say, and also, The one thing we're hearing from people is no one likes the swamp. | ||
| No one's like politics in D.C. | ||
| Do you know what the U.S. | ||
| Chamber is? | ||
| They're a lobby working up in D.C. | ||
| Do you want to know why the people hate the swamp and the chamber in D.C.? | ||
| Because you redistribute things only one way, up to the rich. | ||
| The America First Project is exactly the opposite. | ||
| Under President Trump, blue-collar wages went up for the first time in decades. | ||
| And so I just want to draw your attention to those articles. | ||
| Just go give them a look. | ||
| Message on these things. | ||
| But the U.S. | ||
| Chamber is up to the same old tricks. | ||
| Back with Mike Davis, Week in Review. | ||
| He's given us, you know, the Constitutional Court. | ||
| Thank God. | ||
| Chevron was just a massive victory with probably a 10 to 20 year horizon that will take to put into place. On that matter, | ||
| Mike, how much will Chevron do in the next year or two? You know, because it's kind of interesting, | ||
| the left says President Trump and all of us were all fascists, right-wingers, even though the | ||
| fascists, by the way, was the combination of government with big corporations. | ||
| Hitler wanted a small number of corporations. | ||
| Mussolini wanted a small number of corporations. | ||
| Right now, we have the magnificent seven. | ||
| So Chevron's actually a good thing at slowing down the overreach of government. | ||
| And so give us a little sense of what the Chevron timeline looks like for that to take root. | ||
| Chevron is a monumental decision out of the Supreme Court because what the Supreme Court is reaffirming is that under our Constitution, our elected members of Congress must write the laws, our executive branch must enforce the laws, and our federal judges must adjudicate cases and controversies to interpret the laws. | ||
| And what has happened over the last 90 years, going back to FDR with the switch in time, | ||
| that saved nine minutes, the federal government has taken power | ||
| that the federal government does not have under the constitution. | ||
| And then that power has been consolidated with unelected bureaucrats in the executive branch, | ||
| unelected bureaucrats that you can't fire, you couldn't fire, | ||
| were supposed to be the so-called experts that make decisions that affects every aspect of our lives. | ||
| And that's clearly unconstitutional. | ||
| That's the very definition of tyranny. | ||
| And you're starting to see this constitutionalist Supreme Court, thanks to President Trump, starting to roll back these powers and put the government Good. | ||
| And as far as implementation of Chevron, is it going to be lawsuits? | ||
| Everything has to be challenged, right? | ||
| If there's overreach by the agencies, how does that play out? | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's gonna, it's gonna be the Biden administration is going to do everything it can to fight that Chevron decision and to ignore it. | ||
| So it's going to have to be through oversight by Congress through lawsuits and by putting President Trump back in office after November 5, 2024. | ||
| So starting on January 20, 2025, you can have a president who is actually going to faithfully execute the law. | ||
| Outstanding. | ||
| Mike Davis, thanks for being with us. | ||
| The other day I went back to Paul Harvey and the rest of the story. | ||
| It's a moral outrage what the left has done to Stephen K. Bannon and President Trump and the use of lawfare in general. | ||
| They have the gall to say that our side Our fascists, when we're trying to reduce the scope and scale of the federal Leviathan, more than that, President Trump was in office for four years. | ||
| Hillary Clinton just prior did the bleach bit thing, right? | ||
| Everybody recall that? | ||
| No retribution, nothing going on there, all within the, it even showed grace, could have, within the rule of law, could have easily gone there. | ||
| And he said, skip it, let's move on. | ||
| For the sake of the country, right? | ||
| And then in 16, the Uniparty, Paul Ryan steps in and is in possession of the Steele dossier, which nuked Trump with Russia warfare. | ||
| He puts committees in action, doesn't tell anybody. | ||
| And that's what we're up against. | ||
| And so the idea that they're calling us names, that's the rest of the story, folks, right? | ||
| They're gaslighting us. | ||
|

|
We're the constitutional freedom people. | |
| We love this republic. | ||
| We love God. | ||
| We love family. | ||
| We love all of our institutions that made this country so great, and Mike Davis is part of that great work. | ||
| And so we thank you, Mike, for being with us on The War Room. |
