This is what you're fighting for. | ||
I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
This is just like in Georgia. | ||
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
unidentified
|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
War Room Battleground. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
For a lot of people, this is something that's definitely going to hurt. | ||
I don't think that Garland wants to take one for the team, if you will, in regards to continuing to fight, even though he knows that Biden is not cognitively there. | ||
So, I think that it'll serve two purposes. | ||
One, obviously, there shouldn't be a double standard of justice in this country. | ||
We have people in jail for doing what he did. | ||
But also, too, I do believe that it will force him to produce either the tapes or to step down. | ||
We've got a packed show for you, focusing on All things Democratic lawfare and all the shapes and forms it may take, whether it's January 6th prosecutions, lawfare against President Trump, lawfare against Stephen K. Bannon, against Peter Navarro, you name it. | ||
We're going to be diving into all that and more. | ||
very stacked show, may I humbly say. | ||
We're going to start off with D.C. Drano, as you may colloquially know him, Rogan O'Hanley, | ||
of course, a good friend of the show, someone whose Twitter feed is always kind of keeping | ||
a pulse on all the things that matter. | ||
But I wanted to bring you on to talk about what Representative Luna is doing when it | ||
comes to holding Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. | ||
Now, of course, this audience is familiar to the fact that most Republicans that we | ||
have in Congress, I don't think if you ask them to define accountability, they would | ||
give you a definition that matches up with anything that the grassroots base would agree | ||
with or is resembling a dictionary. | ||
But Ana Paulina Luna is an anomaly. | ||
I think she understands the fight. | ||
But there have been a lot of— of iterations sort of of this bill that she has been | ||
pushing to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress and to punish him, justifiably so. | ||
We've seen what happens, right? | ||
Rule of law, Stephen K. Bannon, right? | ||
Should be the same treatment on both sides of the aisle. | ||
But can you walk us through sort of how we got to that clip we just played, the $10,000 | ||
a day fine, what we're talking about here, why he's even being held in contempt to begin | ||
with? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
So Merrick Garland, as we know, has been weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump's supporters, his advisors, the MAGA movement, J6ers. | ||
You know, there's a reason Steve Bannon isn't talking with us right now, because he's in jail for defying a subpoena. | ||
Now, he had executive privilege, which they denied. | ||
Merrick Garland is kind of caught in the same spider web. | ||
The only difference is Merrick Garland is declining to prosecute himself, right? | ||
You hear the Democrats say, oh, nobody is above the law, but they're treating Republicans | ||
as if they're below the law and they're not holding themselves accountable. | ||
So what Representative Ana Paulina Luna has done is after Congress sent Merrick Garland | ||
subpoena requesting what they call the Biden tapes, right? | ||
So there was, there's recordings of him talking about the classified documents and other sensitive matters. | ||
And the recordings apparently don't show him in the most positive light. | ||
And may provide evidence of criminal obstruction, potentially, with how we treated those classified documents. | ||
Trump got indicted, Biden didn't, right? | ||
So that would really kind of blow open the double standard. | ||
Merrick Garland did not turn over the tapes after being subpoenaed. | ||
Congress voted to hold him in contempt. | ||
They sent that to the DOJ, and then surprise, surprise, the DOJ says, we're not going to prosecute our boss. | ||
Now what Representative Ana Paulina Luna has done to her credit and a real testament to her research and her intellect, she found that Congress can actually hold people in inherent contempt. | ||
And this allows the House Sergeant-at-Arms to either detain the person, and there's actually a jail cell in Congress, or what they're doing with this motion is they can fine them. | ||
And Merrick Garland will be subject to a $10,000 a day fine. | ||
So this is a way to actually hold the executive accountable. | ||
This is why we have three branches of government for checks and balances. | ||
And it's a shame to see that some rhinos do not want to actually hold Merrick Garland accountable. | ||
So, walk us through the opposition that we're hearing from sort of the rhino class of Congress. | ||
I know the latest reporting I've seen—this is obviously always an evolving thing—is that Luna wants to take it to a vote tomorrow—tomorrow being Wednesday. | ||
But Speaker Johnson has sort of begged her not to, no surprise there. | ||
And it seems like a lot of other typical, more establishment-type Republicans have come out saying that they won't Support it, kind of running us through the numbers here. | ||
I mean, why is there such a refusal to find a guy who's destroying this country, throwing President Trump's top allies and potentially even himself in jail, and we can't even vote to fine him 10 grand a day? | ||
You said it perfectly, Natalie, and I'm sure a lot of people watching this share the same frustration. | ||
I have no good reason why they would not want this. | ||
This is what Congress is supposed to do. | ||
This is why we put Republicans in charge. | ||
I would hope Speaker Johnson has a good reason, although I don't think there is one. | ||
I think it's probably to maintain, you know, relationships with the deep state, really. | ||
That's all I can think of, because there's no other good reason. | ||
The base wants this. | ||
This could be a very bipartisan issue, right? | ||
Because now Democrats As we've seen, are very much speaking out against Biden staying in the race. | ||
What a way to help push him out than to actually vote for this resolution that pressures Garland to turn over those tapes and humiliates Biden even further. | ||
And from what we've heard, this is not Garland's decision. | ||
This is coming from above him. | ||
They're telling him, hey, don't release those tapes. | ||
At some point, Garland's probably going to be like, listen, I don't need to take all this heat. | ||
I don't need to Pay all these fines. | ||
I'm just turning over the tapes and maintaining the rule of law here. | ||
It's a lawful congressional subpoena. | ||
Unlike the January 6th subpoenas, it was an unlawful, unconstitutional committee. | ||
So this is actually a lawful one, and he still won't do it. | ||
So right now I know of one Republican representative, John Duarte, in California, of course, He's stated that he will not be voting for it. | ||
I'm sure Garland has something on him for him to not want to hold Garland accountable. | ||
But Speaker Johnson has been wishy-washy, although he has expressed support for it in | ||
recent days. | ||
So I hope everyone in the posse makes sure that your Republican representative votes | ||
once again to hold Merrick Garland in contempt. | ||
They've already done it. | ||
Let's actually finish the job here, not just send a meaningless referral to the DOJ. | ||
Let's finish the job and actually hold the executive branch accountable, which is what the founding fathers wanted when they created this separate system of checks and balances. | ||
202-225-3121, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
You guys know that's the number. | ||
I think it may be time, maybe we can do this one in honor of Stephen K. Bannon, to burn down the phone lines, to melt them down, metaphorically, of course. | ||
But I want to draw an interesting juxtaposition here, right? | ||
Meanwhile, the Republicans, you know, they're diligently reading their pocket constitution in an era where Democrats don't even care about the rule of law. | ||
Quite blatantly, trying to destroy this country and shred the Constitution to bits and pieces. | ||
Meanwhile, you have the Supreme Court come out and basically say, oh, yeah, everything you guys were doing with January 6th, sorry, there's big no—there's no there there, right? | ||
No gotcha when it comes to President Trump. | ||
And that, of course, has sort of a downstream effect on a lot of these January 6th individual prosecutions, and a lot of people thought that that would make it harder for them to press These felony charges, or at least continue down that rabbit hole with a lot of these so-called rioters. | ||
But the Biden DOJ comes out, what is it, yesterday, saying that for over 1,500 individuals—which, of course, they've all prosecuted independently so they can create the, you know, false hate crime pretext that this, you know, domestic terrorism insurgency is happening and it's among us, so we have to deprive you of all your civil liberties. | ||
But putting that aside for one second—I'll digress on that. | ||
They're saying, we don't actually care what the Supreme Court says. | ||
We still are going to find a way to do a magical legal workaround so we can destroy the lives, push these people to the brink of suicide, rip grandmothers from their children in their last 10 years of life. | ||
The DOJ does not care. | ||
Merrick Garland's probably giving these orders themselves. | ||
Can you just kind of elucidate that juxtaposition right there between the two sides, how it's not just bringing a knife to a gunfight, it's bringing a plastic knife to a, you know, Zelensky-tiered tank fight? | ||
Yeah, so again, well said. | ||
The Supreme Court ruled, as we saw, that the federal charge that they used for obstruction of Congress, 1512, is actually being misapplied here. | ||
And in the words of Justice Roberts, the misapplication of that law could criminalize what he called | ||
prosaic conduct, basically normal conduct, right? | ||
Lobbyists. | ||
You could prosecute a lobbyist for being in the halls of Congress under this statute with | ||
the way they've applied it. | ||
You know, we've seen the double standard when, you know, the climate change protesters, when | ||
the Hamas supporters, when they bust into Congress, there's no FBI kicking in their | ||
doors and throwing them in solitary confinement because this is a one-way double standard | ||
against Republicans. | ||
And so the Supreme Court overruled this. | ||
this felony charge, which was used, I believe, for hundreds of prosecutions, either as the | ||
sole charge or as one of multiple felony charges. | ||
The Supreme Court said no. | ||
If it's someone walking through the Capitol peaceably, that's not obstruction. | ||
And that's not what this statute is for. | ||
It's for document obstruction. | ||
Similar to when Hillary Clinton smashed the hammers, when her emails were being subpoenaed with the private email server, that would probably fall under that statute. | ||
Of course, we got no prosecution for her, but walking through the Capitol doesn't make sense. | ||
Some J6 convicts and people who have pled guilty have notified others that this 1512 charge has not yet been dropped. | ||
And what we're hearing is that the DOJ is taking 30 to 60 days to go through their analysis and figure this out. | ||
Now, you would expect this would be dropped almost instantly across the board. | ||
People are currently in prison with sentences that were compounded by this charge. | ||
People have felony records because of this charge. | ||
This stuff should be wiped away and they should be given frankly compensation for a violation of their civil rights by the federal government. | ||
But what they're doing, I believe, is trying to find a way to reframe the charge so that those that are convicted, as many as possible, can still be convicted by reapplying or rejustifying the charge somehow. | ||
And what that might mean is, oh, well, the Electoral College has documents, right? | ||
They have the big wooden chest, they open it, they take out the Electoral College. | ||
So there's documents involved. | ||
And they're going to try and say, well, you obstructed Those documents being lawfully counted, etc. | ||
So I don't think that stands a snowball's chance in hell before the Supreme Court. | ||
They're going to say this is even dumber than your first argument. | ||
But what the evil behind that is, by the time it would get to the Supreme Court, could be months from now, people will still be in jail. | ||
People will still be getting investigated by the FBI. | ||
They'll still be going to trial for this. | ||
So it's a shameful, tyrannical delay and obstruction of these people's due process and their actual civil rights. | ||
So shame on Merrick Garland and the DOJ once again. | ||
Well, and shame on Republicans, too. | ||
The best they can do is write strongly worded letters. | ||
Meanwhile, you see the Democrats, although I think it's a rare time where you see this sort of bifurcation over what to do with Joe Biden, but they're always in a united front. | ||
And I'm even inclined to bring up Something that's, you know, just breaking when you see Senator Whitehouse telling Merrick Garland that they need to establish a special counsel to investigate Justice Clarence Thomas. | ||
Make no mistake, that's not because Justice Clarence Thomas did anything wrong. | ||
It's because they don't like how he's ruling on a host of issues. | ||
And frankly, I think they don't like his wife, just like Justice Alito. | ||
Always shout out to the SCOTUS wives. | ||
Like Steve always says, top pick for VP here in the war room. | ||
But can you expand a little bit On that, I know it's coming in hot on your Twitter account, what the Democrats are demanding with Justice Thomas. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Senator Whitehouse, who, side note, loves all white country clubs in Rhode Island, so this guy's one to talk, but he has filed a letter with the DOJ requesting a special counsel to investigate and potentially criminally prosecute Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for Ethical violations, tax issues, financial reporting issues. | ||
You name it, right? | ||
And they've been kind of building up this, you know, circus of allegations with these turning, you know, nothing into something, trying at least. | ||
But this is their next step. | ||
They are trying to stack the court. | ||
They want to expand the court. | ||
You know, Justice Clarence Thomas, he expanded Second Amendment rights. | ||
He helped overturn Roe v. Wade. | ||
He overturned the Chevron precedent, right? | ||
This is an attack on the administrative state. | ||
And now the administrative state Is fighting back. | ||
So this is what they're doing. | ||
They aren't just going to go after Trump. | ||
They're going to go after every major conservative figure in the government, outside the government to absolutely destroy them. | ||
This is what Marxists do. | ||
And this is just the next fight. | ||
And I hope that Republicans in Congress are able to stop this. | ||
And, you know, this is just all the more reason why we need Trump back in, because if we don't, they're going to completely destroy this government and install a Marxist one in its place. | ||
Rogan, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you're working on, tweeting about where can they go to do all that. | ||
DC Drano on all the platforms. | ||
Elon let me back on Twitter, so I'm, you know, out firing off tweets, exposing the corruption, and just trying to stop this communist movement. | ||
Thank you for having me on, Natalie. | ||
A very noble quest and crusade. | ||
Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
And we should have Kristen Hawkins, the president of Students for Life, joining us shortly. | ||
I think I see her. | ||
Fun fact, today is my four-year anniversary of doing War Room for the first time ever. | ||
I will have some thoughts in the second block about everything that Steve has built before he had me on for the first time, as I think A 19-year-old college student—very wild to be here now, but I'm honored to be joined by Kristen Hawkins, like I said, president of Students for Life and Students for Life Action. | ||
Now, speaking of action, there's been a lot of movement on sort of the abortion front when it comes to the RNC platform playing. | ||
So, we'll get into the election ramifications, but I would love to get, again, as one of the leading voices on everything abortion in this country, your thoughts sort of breaking down where we stand on that front. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, obviously we have a lot of work to do. | |
We just got done with our National Celebrate Life event at the Lincoln Memorial two weeks ago, celebrating the momentous victory in the reversal, but also recommitting the pro-life movement to our ultimate goal of seeing 14th Amendment protections applied to every pre-born child, every pre-born person. | ||
And, you know, as we head into this next phase of the pro-life movement, we sadly will have half Free to kill states and have free to be born states. | ||
The question for us in the pro-life movement is how do we continue to achieve incremental victories, continue to grow and build this grassroots momentum and the movement so we ultimately will end up with an America where abortion isn't tolerated at all and the culture has changed to reject the violence of abortion. | ||
So in terms of election ramifications, it seems like you're always hearing this narrative that, you know, President Trump needs to avoid the issue or go softer on it. | ||
We see some interesting—I wouldn't necessarily say flip-flopping, but just very nuanced stances, I would say, coming from Republican leaders who have typically been more maybe pro-life in the past. | ||
You always have a good kind of pulse on polling and where people stand on this. | ||
Can you just kind of walk us through the kind of electoral, you know, battle map, for lack of a better word, on what the numbers actually show? | ||
unidentified
|
You know, when I entered politics in Washington, D.C. | |
in 2005, there were a lot of swamp-like voices who said to stay away from the abortion issue. | ||
That it was a loser issue. | ||
Then during the Obama administration, those same voices and fundraisers and consultants realized Abortion was motivating people, and so they started talking about abortion now. | ||
As soon as Roe was reversed, those voices came back into the fray, from the fray into the mainstream, saying, we need to stop talking about abortion. | ||
Abortion is going to be a loser. | ||
It was like the day after Roe v. Wade was reversed. | ||
And a lot of folks have tried to point to 2022 and the midterm elections as, see, this is why we need to stay away from abortion. | ||
It actually wasn't the case. | ||
When you look at the races, J.D. | ||
Vance, Brian Kemp, Marco Rubio, the list goes on of solid pro-life candidates who won races, races where we were told it was going to be tight and there was going to be a loss. | ||
The races we lost in 2020 were 2022 weren't because of a candidate being too pro-life. | ||
It was a candidate not being pro-life enough. | ||
Mehmet Oz, Herschel Walker, you know, these folks where we didn't really know where they stood on abortion who ran away. | ||
And one thing we know for sure in Republican and conservative politics is you cannot run away from the abortion issue. | ||
You can't put your head in the sand on this issue. | ||
Because the abortion goliath, Planned Parenthood, is a big bully. | ||
And you cannot run away from a bully. | ||
It never ends well. | ||
I mean, we teach our children, eventually you have to stand your ground. | ||
You got to stand up to the bully. | ||
And so this whole like narrative we see from these swamp ass consultants of stay away from abortion, | ||
it's a losing issue, is what gets us in trouble time and time again. | ||
Name one moderate Republican who is moderate on abortion, who like had this massive national victory. | ||
We can't, you know, think about Mitt Romney, John McCain. | ||
Those were supposed to be the moderates who were staying away from the divisive issues that were going to bring people together. | ||
Yeah, we never had a President McCain or President Romney. | ||
And so we still hear these voices, and we've been hearing them now, you know, in this platform battle. | ||
I think President Trump has been getting some, you know, conflicting information from within his campaign, | ||
from some of the consultants about what he should say or do on the issue of abortion. | ||
But one thing is very clear, abortion is a federal issue because the Biden administration has tragically | ||
yet masterfully demonstrated all the ways that they've seeded abortion using our taxpayer funds | ||
and have pushed abortion, promoted abortion, even into the red states using the federal purse, | ||
using the bully pulpit of the presidency. | ||
And so President Trump, I know he wants to kind of keep abortion to the states and he wants states to weigh in. | ||
And he can say that, but then that also means he needs to join the pro-life movement to commit | ||
to finally debar and defund Planned Parenthood and more than 700 million taxpayer funds. | ||
They committed a third of all abortions. | ||
Nearly 400,000 babies died last year at Planned Parenthood. | ||
They are the leading funder of democratic campaigns. | ||
Every conservative, no matter how they feel about this issue of abortion, whether it's a state or federal issue, should be able to unite and say, we shouldn't be funding the leading abortion lobby with our federal taxpayer dollars. | ||
We need President Trump to come out and call for the defeat of the extreme late-term abortion referenda that we're facing in states across the country where The pro-life movement is being tragically outspent. | ||
It's not good. | ||
And it's so confusing to constituents of what they're actually voting for. | ||
We saw that firsthand on the ground in Ohio. | ||
And so there's a lot that the president can do, even amidst of this platform change that we saw yesterday. | ||
But I'm still motivated in the sense that the Republican Party is still cementing our view that in the 14th Amendment, Guaranteed equal justice to these pre-born children. | ||
You bring up Planned Parenthood, and there was some great reporting that came out yesterday, walking through not just the evil atrocities they commit when it comes to abortions, but in sort of leading the, you know, transing your children trend. | ||
I'd love if you could walk us through how this issue, though abortion should play a center role, there's a litany of other issues that this is tied into on sort of the cultural gender stuff. | ||
Yeah, walk us through. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, if you think about the ultimate goal of Margaret Sanger—Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood's goal, actually was an abortion. | |
She was not an advocate for abortion. | ||
In fact, the early Planned Parenthood materials say abortion's killing a baby. | ||
They omitted it. | ||
Margaret Sanger believed certain groups of people should not be able to have children. | ||
should not be fertile. | ||
She believed in negative and positive eugenics. | ||
That's why she led and founded the American Birth Control League, | ||
which later became Planned Parenthood. | ||
When you think about these transgender, these wrong sex hormone treatments | ||
that they're prescribing on our kids, that the kids can get within hours | ||
of walking into a Planned Parenthood, it actually, it's very sad, makes sense for their mission | ||
because their original mission was to sterilize the unfit, their words, masses. | ||
And that's exactly what these wrong sex hormones do. | ||
So it doesn't surprise anyone who knows Planned Parenthood's history. | ||
Why do they suddenly care about wrong sex hormones? | ||
Because it goes into their broader agenda, which is mass sterilization. | ||
We know abortion leads to infertility and obviously lowers birth rates because it kills human beings, but this is actually a less messier form for them to fulfill their agenda without having to pay for the disposal of human bodies. | ||
It just leaves broken bodies of teenagers across America. | ||
It also makes sense for them because that's their lobby. | ||
When you think about their support, their financial support, their political support, Planned Parenthood has been tied into the LGBTQIA lobby for decades, which always never really made sense because you think about all of these gay couples who say that they want to adopt, but then they fund Planned Parenthood that's literally killing babies who may have been born and may have been placed with an adoptive family. | ||
It doesn't make sense. | ||
Their whole movement doesn't make sense in how their intersexualism works. | ||

You can see all my debate videos from college campuses trying to impart some wisdom on some very confused young people out there. | ||
But I would just ask folks right now to pray for the future of the Republican Party. | ||
Pray for this election. | ||
I mean, we have such an incredible opportunity at the moment where all America has been, | ||
has now understood that we've been gaslit from the Biden administration for the past | ||
three years. | ||
Poll numbers are going our way when it comes to November, but we've got to keep our foot | ||
on the gas pedal and we've got to keep the conservative coalition together. | ||
As Ronald Reagan said, the three legs of the conservative stool, the fiscal conservatives, | ||
the national defense conservatives and the social conservatives. | ||
We have to keep that stool together and intact if we're going to see victory in November. | ||
Kristen, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks for having me. | |
And Warren Posse, you're going to want to hang through the break. | ||
We've got the Missouri AG Andrew Bailey joining us to walk through his latest efforts to stop this Biden regime lawfare. | ||
I'll take you out to break reading a quote from newly obtained documents by Judiciary GOP proving what we've been telling you for a very long time here in the war room. | ||
There's collusion between the Biden DOJ and what is going on in that New York courtroom. | ||
Here's a quote. | ||
Matthew, glad to see you are back in NYC. | ||
Sounds like you and Mr. Trump's paths will continue to intersect. | ||
That's Letitia James' office talking to Matthew Colangelo. | ||
I think you may have heard that name a few times from none other than Mike Davis here on the show. | ||
unidentified
|
We'll unpack that and so much more with AG Bailey after the break. | |
you Bye. | ||
Welcome back to The War Room. | ||
It's Natalie Winters hosting. | ||
You guys know the temporary motto, shall we say, of this show is, Next Man Up. | ||
I think those were Stephen K. Bannon's last words before being sent away by Joe Biden and his political apparatchiks to rot in a prison cell in Danbury, Connecticut. | ||
And you know we're always looking for people to step up to the plate, because apparently our Republican members of Congress are not willing to do that. | ||
Some of them won't even vote. | ||
to hold Merrick Garland in inherent contempt of Congress and fine him for, frankly, what | ||
I think should be destroying this country. | ||
But I guess if you want to put it down just to the Her audio tapes, fine by me. | ||
But someone who is stepping up, is the next man up, is doing what I wish AGs across this | ||
country would do, is Missouri AG Andrew Bailey, who joins us now. | ||
Now, there's some breaking developments. | ||
Perfect timing. | ||
Claire Voigt, free to come on the show now, when it comes to new documents that have been | ||
obtained by House Judiciary, Jim Jordan tweeting them out at the posse. | ||
You guys should definitely go look at them. | ||
But before we get into that, you have filed suit to defund, to try to step in to the law | ||
fair, assaults—I think that's too nice a term—crusade against President Trump. | ||
And you tried to your best efforts, but of course, the document requests that you've submitted to all the states, all the people who are trying to wage political lawfare against President Trump, they have not been complying with your requests. | ||
No surprise there, I'm sure. | ||
If you could sort of walk the audience through what the original intentions of your lawsuit were and where we stand now. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, let me start by saying this lawfare against President Trump is poisonous to our democratic process, and it harms all Missourians and all Americans who are attempting to participate in a meaningful way on equal footing in a national presidential contest in the heat of a campaign in the most consequential presidential election in this nation's history. | |
And so this lawfare is not only poisonous to our democratic process, but antithetical to who we are as a nation. | ||
And we know that President Biden's crooked Department of Justice is working in collusion with these rogue state prosecutors. | ||
And we see that from the circumstances when Biden deployed his third-ranking official from the DOJ, Matthew Colangelo, to assist Alvin Bragg and actually lead Alvin Bragg's trial court-level prosecution. | ||
We know that that trial court-level prosecution was an illicit witch hunt based on the lack of due process and the 34-count indictment that failed to Notify President Trump of the predicate offense for which he was alleged to have committed, the lack of First Amendment protections that silenced President Trump, took him off the campaign trail, and not only harmed President Trump's First Amendment right to speak under the gag order, but also harmed Missourians and all Americans' rights to hear from a presidential candidate. | ||
And the lack of jury unanimity when it comes to the jury's deliberations and finding the predicate offense as instructed by the judge. | ||
We know the judge has political bias. | ||
We know Alvin Bragg has political bias. | ||
We know Matthew Colangelo has political bias. | ||
And so we've demanded transparency and accountability from the Department of Justice and the requisite agencies in order to demonstrate to the public that this is an incurable impropriety in Missouri. | ||
The judiciary would have kicked the prosecutor off the case for this impropriety. | ||
And yet, in the state of New York, that system has failed. | ||
This is an incurable impropriety that should result in the conviction being reversed and overturned. | ||
But again, Alvin Bragg and Matthew Colangelo, they never really wanted a legally valid conviction. | ||
They wanted to take President Trump off the campaign trail and silence him, and they were effective at that. | ||
And so we've got to fight back and use the weapons in our arsenal to fight back against the enemies of freedom and to protect our citizens' rights to participate in this democratic process. | ||
So walk us through some of those weapons that you guys tried to use illegally, metaphorically, but how those documents, document requests, despite all these people lecturing us, you know, on transparency and how important democracy is and how everything needs to be an open book, but how they're not complying. | ||
They're not turning over. | ||
And frankly, why? | ||
Why aren't they? | ||
What do they have to hide? | ||
unidentified
|
No, I think that's exactly right. | |
I think what they have to hide is that the appearance of impropriety becomes an actual impropriety when we investigate this and look at it. | ||
Now, why do we think there would be documents? | ||
Because look at what happened in 2016 between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. | ||
These people can't help but run their mouths. | ||
They're so excited to be talking about how they're going to undermine the president's first term in office, that the deep state was committed to that, that they texted each other repeatedly and put out other comments. | ||
That evidence was there. | ||
We believe the same thing will be true here, and it turns out it is true. | ||
Congressman Jim Jordan's work in the House Judiciary Committee has exposed these documents. | ||
We demanded them from the DOJ several weeks ago, did not get an appropriate or sufficient response from the Department of Justice, so we're filing suit. | ||
At the end of the day, this is a knowing violation. | ||
If they had those documents, as Congressman Jordan has established that they did, then they are liable to the state of Missouri for refusing to comply with our demand for records. | ||
So let's walk through those documents, because I think they're worth getting into, because they prove what we've been saying on this show for, what is it, over a year? | ||
I think they vindicate your lawsuit. | ||
They prove why these people not only should, but I think more importantly, why they didn't comply with your document requests. | ||
I was reading the quote. | ||
This is from Letitia James' office, talking with Matthew Colangelo, saying, Matthew Dash, glad to see you are back in NYC. | ||
Sounds like you and Mr. Trump's paths will continue to intersect. | ||
Matthew Colangelo, when he was applying to work, the two people that he listed as his references were DNC Chair Tom Perez and now White House Chief of Staff for Joe Biden, Jeff Zients. | ||
I mean, is there any more damning evidence than that? | ||
unidentified
|
No, this is shameful behavior. | |
And again, it goes straight to the top of the White House. | ||
Joe Biden is personally responsible for this. | ||
Now, he doesn't care. | ||
He hates President Trump more than he loves this country. | ||
He's willing to undermine our judicial and prosecutorial and criminal justice institutions and our system of federalism to keep his political opponent off the campaign trail. | ||
Again, we used to live in a country that elevated the rules of the game above the players and the outcomes. | ||
President Trump led the Make America Great Again movement. | ||
He started a movement, and the left hates him for that, and so they'll bend and break the rules and undermine our systems of government in order to take him off the campaign trail. | ||
They can't win on the merits, so they have to orchestrate this witch-hunt prosecution and deploy resources from the federal government to lead the effort at the chalkboard level. | ||
And again, those text messages and that resume just re-emphasize and establish that point. | ||
We saw it from the circumstances, and now we can read between the lines with the fine print. | ||
So how do these documents help in terms of standing or your case? | ||
Is there any impact effect there? | ||
What does the road ahead look like for your case? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, first and foremost, I think these documents, again, establish clearly the incurable impropriety in the prosecution, the illicit witch hunt of President Trump at the trial court level, which merit dismissal of the charges. | |
The trial court judge needs to dismiss the charge, notwithstanding the verdict, because it's not supported by the law or the evidence, and the judge certainly has the authority to do that. | ||
This is an incurable impropriety on behalf of the prosecutors that warrants dismissal. | ||
There was never a case there in the first place, and certainly if there was, these prosecutors should not have been allowed to bring it. | ||
But at the end of the day, DOJ is liable again to the state of Missouri for refusing to turn over the documents that are now clearly established to have been in their possession. | ||
Now, you obviously, like I said, I think epitomize the next man up mentality that Steve has spoken about. | ||
We've been hammering in this show that we need AGs, we need everyone to step up and go against this lawfare, because House Republicans are just not cutting it. | ||
Earlier today, you have Representative Andrew Clyde, who's a good friend of this show, tweeting that the House Appropriations Committee He didn't adopt his amendment to defund the left's lawfare against President Trump. | ||
Why? | ||
Not enough Republicans showed up to vote. | ||
If there's never a better metaphor for Republicans missing the mark and understanding what hour we are in, in terms of the fight to save this country, I think that little story encapsulates it quite nicely. | ||
What message would you have for Republican members of Congress or people who have control over the levers of power? | ||
Who need to defend, not that President Trump needs anyone's help or defense, but in this time when you have so many arrows, so many enemies incoming, you need all the support you can get. | ||
What would you say to House members, Republican members of Congress, who just frankly, at least in my opinion and this show's opinion, are not stepping up to the plate to defend President Trump? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, one of the first things I learned as a young second lieutenant in the United States Army is that when you get caught in a near ambush, you assault through the ambush. | |
The bad guys are going to kill you anyway, so don't let them shoot you in the back. | ||
Charge into them and destroy as many of the enemies as you can. | ||
And we're in a near ambush right now. | ||
These people want to destroy our country. | ||
President Trump started a Make America Great Again movement and took the Republican Party to places it never would have gotten on its own but for his leadership. | ||
And we owe him a debt of gratitude. | ||
But it goes beyond President Trump. | ||
He's a stand-in. | ||
If they can do this to him, they can do it to you, too. | ||
And so we need to band together and fight to preserve our democratic republic, or we will lose it. | ||
A.G. | ||
Bailey, if people want to follow you and stay up-to-date with this case, but everything you guys are working on, where can they go to do that? | ||
And also, just give us sort of a general timeframe of how you think things are going to play out with this suit in particular, and if you have anything else that you're working on or that's kind of coming down the pipeline, feel free to let us know. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, check us out at ago.mo.gov. | |
That's ago.mo.gov. | ||
Follow us on all social media platforms. | ||
I would also say that, you know, one of the landmark suits that we filed is Missouri v. New York. | ||
That's the suit we filed in the United States Supreme Court to try to put a stop to the rogue prosecutor and collusive judiciary in the state of New York. | ||
From sentencing President Trump to prison and silencing him with an unconstitutional gag order that's an original action at the United States Supreme Court. | ||
And again, it's fighting back on behalf of the people of the state of Missouri so that we get to participate in a national presidential election absent interference from this poisonous attack on our democratic process that we call lawfare. | ||
And last question before I let you go. | ||
I'm just curious. | ||
We obviously have, you know, AG Ken Paxton on this show, but in terms of your allies who you look to for support, what would your message be to other Republican attorneys general or people who at least have the power that you do to help defend President Trump amidst this onslaught? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I think it's important for all attorneys general to represent their constituents and fight for the right thing. | |
And the right thing here is to allow our constituencies, again, to participate in a national presidential election absent interference from a rogue prosecutor and collusive judiciary in New York. | ||
We can't let that judicial process in New York upend our national presidential election. | ||
Our people, the citizens of our states, have rights too. | ||
And it's the sovereign interest of the state of Missouri and every other state to participate on equal footing in a national presidential election. | ||
Thank you so much for joining us one more time. | ||
If people want to follow you, where can they go to do that? | ||
unidentified
|
Check us out at ago.mo.gov. | |
God bless you and your viewers. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Thank you, sir. | ||
Thank you for stepping up. | ||
I'm sure Steve will be proud. | ||
I think we got Krom Carmichael up. | ||
If we do, Krom, I feel like every time I have you on, I have to cut you short. | ||
It's a rare time where we actually have a little bit of time. | ||
And like I told the audience, this is my four-year anniversary of doing War Room for the first time. | ||
So after Krom, I will give you, not a rant, but an emotional monologue on that. | ||
But Krom, in the meantime, if you could walk the audience through why they should check out Solti, I'm sure they would appreciate that. | ||
Natalie, thanks so much. | ||
By the way, I really enjoyed that interview with the AG from Missouri. | ||
He is absolutely terrific, and you did a great job there. | ||
Salt tea. | ||
This is a bottle of salt tea, and I've been taking the active ingredient in this product for close to 20 years now. | ||
I'm 75 years old. | ||
The active ingredient is a particular molecule from fresh green tea called theaflavin. | ||
and theaflavin resides in fresh tea at a 1% concentration. | ||
We have a proprietary extraction process that takes that 1% to 22%. | ||
And then what we did was, years ago, we did a clinical trial of 600 people and we found | ||
that the average person taking our product saw their cholesterol go down 17%. | ||
And the good news is that actually the LDL, which is the bad cholesterol, went down even | ||
more than 17%. | ||
And so what Soul Tea does, because of its theaflavin, we improve your cardiovascular | ||
system, we lower your cholesterol, we strengthen your heart, and you can go to warroomhealth.com. | ||
That's warroomhealth.com and that'll take you to the Sol-T website. | ||
And you can click on Our Science. | ||
And for people who are truly interested, the paper that was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine is there for people to see. | ||
It's a long read, very scientifically based. | ||
And salt tea works. | ||
Theaflavin is a great active ingredient. | ||
And here's just a typical. | ||
We got this email from Melanie. | ||
She's one of our customers. | ||
I began taking Salty a few months ago and my total cholesterol was 217. | ||
My LDL cholesterol was 139. | ||
I had a lipid panel done last month and my total cholesterol has dropped by 13 points to 204. | ||
My LDL cholesterol dropped 27 points to 112. | ||
And that's really important because what that means is if the LDL dropped and her good cholesterol actually increased. | ||
And so we get emails from our customers that are very similar to that from many of them. | ||
But that is a perfect example. | ||
And the active ingredient is Theaflavin. | ||
We have a proprietary extraction process. | ||
And then we encapsulate it in two capsules a day, will improve your heart health overall, and lower your cholesterol, help you manage your cholesterol. | ||
And the way to get it, get the product, Natalie, is to go to warroomhealth.com, that's warroomhealth.com, and then use the code warroom at checkout. | ||
And what that does is, that gets you 50% off your initial shipment, And then after that with that code you get three bottles for the price of two on an ongoing basis and we always pay the freight. | ||
It works out to a cost of about 70 cents a day and that's a low price to pay to have a healthy heart and there's no time. | ||
You don't have to wait to be 65 or 70 because heart disease is called the silent killer Because heart disease gets incrementally worse over time. | ||
So the earlier you start taking care of your heart, the longer it will be healthy, the longer you'll have a healthy life. | ||
And you'll have a longer life, but the most important thing is to have a healthy life for as long as you can. | ||
And Natalie, I appreciate you letting me talk so long here on War Room, and thanks for everything that you do. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
Thank you for joining us. | ||
One more time, give us the website if people want to get Sol-T. | ||
Sure. | ||
It's warroomhealth.com. | ||
That's warroomhealth.com. | ||
And then use the code warroom at checkout to get our very best offer, which is 50% off the initial shipment. | ||
And then three bottles for the price of two on an ongoing basis. | ||
And we always pay the freight. | ||
And Natalie, thanks so much. | ||
Appreciate it. | ||
unidentified
|
Of course, Crom. | |
Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
Thank you. | ||
And you guys know the best way to support this show is by supporting our sponsors. | ||
That's why you also got to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
I think if you hit up Birchgold this week during the just elitist, globalist NATO summit that's going on in Washington, D.C., that would be particularly powerful, because if you see who is attending those meetings and what they're planning and plotting, and I use those words intentionally there, you definitely don't want them to be in charge of your finances. | ||
We're doing fine. | ||
But just letting you know, we're doing fine. | ||
But you gotta go to birchgold.com slash Bannon to get the latest installment. | ||
If you're missing Steve, hey, it's maybe some Steve content you haven't tapped into yet. | ||
want to help support this show right now. Not that we need it. We're doing fine. That's | ||
maybe not a good ad read, but just letting you know, we're doing fine, but you got to | ||
go to birchgold.com slash Bannon to get the latest installment. If you're missing Steve, | ||
Hey, it's maybe some Steve content you haven't tapped into yet. But like I said earlier in | ||
the show today, four years ago, I came on war room for the first time. | ||
I was 19. | ||
I was still in college, and I think I came on to talk about a story about, you guessed it, Chinese Communist Party infiltration. | ||
The good old days, when I could just focus on that, unbothered, in my own little rabbit hole, doing that. | ||
But, unfortunately, this country has careened toward a very different future and path, thanks | ||
to the fake election of Joe Biden. | ||
I had to put that on pause for a little bit to expose everything that they were doing | ||
and, of course, joined this show, I think, in October, maybe two years ago, as its host. | ||
But I know Steve can't watch this. | ||
And believe me, it's a weird day to be celebrating an anniversary of coming on the show, when, | ||
you know, I can't call or text Steve, I guess, just email, as we were talking about yesterday. | ||
No autocorrect in the emails, which makes it quite difficult. | ||
But, you know, I always am so honored to have this platform in terms of you guys being just the most wonderful, most passionate, patriotic and powerful and effective audience, like Jack Posobiec said on the show earlier today. | ||
When they're sending you guys those letters, when Pamela Carlin from the DOJ is telling you guys to stop what you're doing in Arizona when it comes to the election audits, they're calling you domestic terrorists. | ||
It just proves how effective you are, how scared they are. | ||
They know they can't run just a, for lack of a better word, listless vessel like Joe Biden. | ||
They have to run an actual candidate because the lawfare isn't working. | ||
But I also think we need to take a step back and really—not that it is lost on this audience—but understand and appreciate What is, I think, something that people don't talk a lot about, Stephen K. Bannon, and that is his ability to bring people into the fold. | ||
I think the best example of that is, of course, the Precinct Committeemen Project. | ||
How many of you guys have signed up and gotten involved? | ||
And if you haven't, I encourage you to do that. | ||
All the other kind of activist types that we have on the show. | ||
I know you guys always tell me how you're starting, you know, a Moms for Liberty chapter or something like that. | ||
But Steve has such an excellent and really just uncanny ability to, I think, Help build up personalities and just create people within this, this MAGA space. | ||
I know I am one of the largest beneficiaries of that. | ||
If it weren't for Steve taking a chance on me as an investigative reporter when I was 19 and still in college, I know I would be in a very, very, very different place, probably working for an America last corporation. | ||
So I thank him for, for saving me from that. | ||
But you know, it, it really, I remember the first time I went on the show, I never would have even thought that Steve could have ended up in prison, or we could have been, you know, where | ||
we are today. But how things change, and frankly, when you look at how things change, there's | ||
one negative way to look at it, which is Steve being stuck in prison. But how things change, how you | ||
guys have changed the course of history, not just by deposing Kevin McCarthy, but how about to the | ||
point where the RNC is—the RNC, that is the swampy establishment RNC that, for years | ||
past, we'd be banging on about how much it sucks on this show—that they've adopted Making America | ||
Great and dozens of policy platforms that are aligned precisely with the America First agenda | ||
that Steve Bannon has been one of the largest champions and architects of. | ||
Uh, really since day one, since he got involved in all this, and I would say that is the best anniversary present that I could get. | ||
Warren Posse, thank you for always letting me host, for having me on. | ||
It's truly, truly an honor, and I look forward to, uh, many more shows to come, particularly at the 6 p.m. | ||
hour here, Warren Battleground. | ||
Thank you guys for tuning in, for watching. | ||
Have a good one. |
