Pray for our enemies. | |
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||

The people have had a belly full of it. | |
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

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

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| We're coming at you live from Milwaukee at the RNC. | ||
| Natalie Winters co-hosting with the one and only Monica Crowley, joined by the one and only Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| The rule used to be no women in the War Room. | ||
| But we've come a long way. | ||
| This morning, when Peter Navarro was here hosting the two hours, it was very testosterone heavy. | ||
| So we decided that we were going to balance it out this afternoon. | ||
| I want to say, I think we're taking down the patriarchy. | ||
| You know, we need to give the Congresswoman a shout-out because she is wearing, like, four-inch heels and she's managing to rock them throughout the whole convention. | ||
| Rock star. | ||
| I'm slacking in sneakers. | ||
| Monica gets a shout-out, too, because she's wearing high heels. | ||
| I'm strapped in. | ||
| Marjorie, you are a total heroine for negotiating this convention and those heels. | ||
| Well, I'm ready for the sneakers. | ||
| I definitely am all in for that. | ||
| I feel like Nikki Haley kind of took the monopoly on the heel talk, right? | ||
| But your heels are much better than the ones that she wore. | ||
| File this under a conversation Steve Bannon would never have on War Room. | ||
| And this is why there were no women in the War Room. | ||
| But let's get to the serious stuff. | ||
| Obviously, tragic news that Lou Dobbs, the one and only Lou Dobbs, has passed away. | ||
| Monica, I know you knew him, worked with him very closely. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Yes, I know. | ||
| I'm so sad. | ||
| I really, he was such a dear friend. | ||
| And my deepest condolences go to his wife, Debbie, and his family. | ||
| Debbie is lovely. | ||
| His entire family is just so wonderful. | ||
| And I first met Lou Dobbs when he was back on CNN. | ||
| And then he moved to Fox Business and he became such a good friend of mine and I used to do his shows all the time and so he is so greatly missed. | ||
| And I know I speak for a lot of people in the America First movement who say that they really will miss this man. | ||
| You know, a lot of people don't remember, but when he was anchoring on CNN, he was way ahead of his time on the border and illegal immigration. | ||
| A lot of people don't remember that. | ||
| But CNN's executives were not happy with him when he was doing Lou Dobbs tonight, 7pm Eastern. | ||
| And he was driving the story on illegal immigration, I'm talking like 20 years ago, and talking about having a porous border and all of the dangers that go along with that, and how mass illegal immigration was diluting the United States of America, how it was posing a danger, how it was really diluting our culture and our society. | ||
| He was way ahead of his time. | ||
| And I remember he was getting into a lot of trouble with the CNN executives who didn't want that conversation on their air. | ||
| But again, you know, for the last 20, 25 years, he had been raising the alarm. | ||
| And certainly now, with this historic catastrophe of Joe Biden, he was one of the most prominent voices on that issue and so many others. | ||
| So he is greatly missed. | ||
| I saw that President Trump put out a beautiful statement about his dear friend Lou Dobson. | ||
| We all share in that sympathy for his family. | ||
| For those of you in the audience who've watched Steve's PBS Frontline interview, he talks about his first time meeting President Trump, then candidate, or then even before he ever announced, and he says that all of the stuff that then Donald Trump was saying about the border, about trade, about China, he was parroting talking points from none other than Lou Dobbs on Fox Business. | ||
| So, really an interesting, I think, a really pivotal, transformative man in media, and he'll be dearly missed, and I'm sure going into next week, maybe we'll dedicate What do you think President Trump is going to hit on tonight? | ||
| MTG Walt, we have you because I know you got a punch here. | ||
| You're a busy lady, we get it, but we're always honored to have you here in the War Room. | ||
| Speaking of that transformation that you're alluding to when it comes to immigration, | ||
| I feel like that's one of the issues that President Trump was able to kind of skyrocket | ||
| onto the scene with. | ||
| I love the mass deportation signs. | ||
| What do you think President Trump is going to hit on tonight? | ||
| Do you think immigration is going to continue to be a cornerstone of his messaging? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Just want to echo real quick, definitely praying for Lou Dobbs' family and he will be missed like so many other greats like Rush Limbaugh and others. | ||
| Yes, I think President Trump's speech tonight is going to be one historical speech. | ||
| He will be touching on the border. | ||
| He'll be talking about America as a whole. | ||
| Every single American. | ||
| Not just Republican voters. | ||
| Not just America first. | ||
| But he's really reaching out to America tonight. | ||
| And we're looking forward to that. | ||
| We want our party to be the party for every American. | ||
| Because the Democrat party has failed so incredibly on that front. | ||
| And so has establishment Washington. | ||
| And it's extremely important for us to get back to who we are as Americans. | ||
| We remember after 9-11 how we all came together during that time. | ||
| And I think that this assassination attempt on President Trump is also one of those pivotal things that happened in history that hopefully bring us all together. | ||
| And speaking of that assassination attempt, we're starting to see reports that despite oversight wanting to hold a hearing with the Secret Service Director, obviously her Appearance last night I think confirms that we definitely need to have that hearing. | ||
| We're already getting reports that Mayorkas is sort of telling them to stand down to not cooperate. | ||
| Can you walk us through sort of the latest on that front? | ||
| Yes, I serve on Homeland Committee and we're already, it's already, the stonewalling has begun. | ||
| So Mayorkas has said he will not come before our committee. | ||
| We were notified of that. | ||
| Then I'm also on the Oversight Committee. | ||
| We have jurisdiction over Secret Service. | ||
| We're working very hard to line up our hearings starting this week, but you can tell that the narrative is being set in place and they're not willing to give the full details and name names, which we definitely So between that and the fact that within two hours after those bullets started to fly, the FBI claimed jurisdiction over the investigation. | ||
| They said, we're in charge. | ||
| They don't exactly inspire confidence. | ||
| This is the same FBI and leadership that buried the Hunter Biden laptop, that raided Mar-a-Lago, whole series of attacks and affronts to President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So how are we supposed to- Hey folks, I would love to be there today. | |
| Tonight in in Milwaukee this afternoon Milwaukee as we premiere this incredible film government gangsters But I'm slightly occupied Welcome ladies and gentlemen You are in The War Room. | ||
| We are going to be broadcasting live on North America's Voice. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have the great Cassidy Taylor, the great Matthew Taylor. | |
| On stage, I'm Raheem Kassam, editor-in-chief of National Pop Cover. | ||
| Thank you all for coming out here today and seeing this quite extraordinary film that these gentlemen and many others have made, obviously in tribute today to Stephen K. Bannon, our great general, who can't be with us today because of the corruption that you saw On the television screen, on the movie screen, in front of you here. | ||
| So I want to invite everybody to take a seat and we're going to do a quick Q&A and host The War Room live here today. | ||
| You know, it's not ideal to have to do this, but I also want to, you know, make sure that we honor the great Lou Dobbs who passed today, unfortunately. | ||
| And, you know, our prayers and our thoughts should remain with Lou's family and, of course, for his soul. | ||
| And we are in a very, very, very dangerous time right now. | ||
| And so I want to ask the first question before we throw open to the floor for questions, too. | ||
| The first question I have about this movie that you guys have made, and to the audience out there, to the Wharram audience watching this remotely, Let's make sure you go to get it. | ||
| It's warroom.film to go and watch that. | ||
| Warroom.film. | ||
| And my first question is this. | ||
| It's a logistical feat to make a movie, right? | ||
| I know it from looking at the wrinkles that Matthew never had before and that he has now, especially after this, to put all of this together. | ||
| But it's an increasingly difficult thing when the subject matter itself is so dangerous, is so, you know, puts a target over your head. | ||
| You know, we've all seen what's happened in the last week. | ||
| We all know what's gone on in our own lives over the last decade plus of doing this and being on the front lines of this fight. | ||
| And I look into the audience here, I notice so many of you are on those front lines too. | ||
| And credit to all of those who have joined up, who have joined as committee men, who are fighting the fight every day. | ||
| Do we have any of the precinct committee men in the audience here? | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Put your hands up. | ||
| Exactly, right? | ||
| So here's the first question and I'll throw it to Cash and then to Matthew here. | ||
| How dangerous do you feel it is to do something like this, to publish something like this? | ||
| You spoke at the end in the film there about a two-tiered justice system. | ||
| It increasingly feels like there is a no-justice system and that actually the arbitrary detention, the arbitrary targeting of political figures, what I like to call dissidents, quite frankly. | ||
| How can you possibly, in this day and age, seeing what we've seen, especially over the last week, go out and do something like this? | ||
| Well, after more than half a dozen death threats, what's another one? | ||
| And that's sad, but that's the reality, and that's okay, because we get our will, we get our power from guys like Stephen K. Bannon and, of course, Donald Trump. | ||
| And if they're not going to lie down, why should we? | ||
| You know, we can't be afraid to take a course of action that's going to impact America for the better. | ||
| We just can't. | ||
| And, you know, logistically, yes, I have to echo, you know, this is dedicated to Steve and I have to Have to, uh, address, you know, Lou Dobbs, a friend, a, uh, a mentor, um, his wife, just his family, lovely, lovely people, and, um, that was, that's, that's tragic. | ||
| What Lou did for news, what Lou did for media, what Lou did for the truth is just, um, that's generational, and, and you probably won't see something like that for a long time to come, so happy to dedicate this movie in his honor as well. | ||
| Same question, Matthew. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, it's easy to look at this film and say, Oh my goodness, we're so overwhelmed. | |
| And the FBI and see, this is a document of hope in some ways, because this man here discovered all this stuff. | ||
| And that's why we can bring it to you today. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They failed at Russia gate. | ||
| They failed at the impeachment. | ||
| Donald Trump was elected president, right? | ||
| And impossible odds. | ||
| And he won, and he won, and he said he's gonna win. | ||
| He kept winning and winning and winning. | ||
| So what this is, is this an example, thanks to people like Kash Patel, Devin Nunes, and all the other people who work, you know, to fight evil, that you can win against an enemy with unlimited resources and unlimited reach. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| That's why we're all here today, and that's what we're gonna do for the next four to five months. | ||
| We're gonna fight this, and this is a document of hope, of how to do it. | ||
| And they can have all the resources in the world, and they can have all the reach, and do whatever they want, but it is possible to win, because we have won before, and we will win again. | ||
| I have to just give a shout-out to the War Room. | ||
| You guys are live on the War Room, so that's pretty cool. | ||
| Dan Flewett, the brilliant magician producer running around back there somewhere, and Matthew Taylor, who I've heard of his work, obviously I knew who he was, Clinton Cash, and so many other brilliant movies. | ||
| And when Steve came to me, I guess we can tell you some of the inside details. | ||
| He's, you know, he helped make the book a bestseller along with President Trump. | ||
| I guess my one ask is buy a hundred copies of the book and mail them to Watermelon Head's office on Capitol Hill. | ||
| But, you know, it's hard enough to write the book. | ||
| It's probably a hundred times harder to do this. | ||
| And basically three guys in ninja mode with Bannon running the ship, did it in 110 days. I don't know if you | ||
| understand that. | ||
| 110 days they made a movie. | ||
| A reality, a production, they got it online. | ||
| We are here now debuting it at the Republican National Convention | ||
| where Donald Trump is about to accept the nomination. So kudos to you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you so much. Yeah, it's such a well-received point because I think | |
| in an environment where there is so much content out there, right? | ||
| And everybody's now a content creator. | ||
| Everybody is now kind of a movie maker and fancies themselves in those roles. | ||
| And look, the democratization of that element of technology is necessarily a good thing. | ||
| It's given way and cause to so many other great entities out there and so much more truth being reported out there. | ||
| I think about just, you know, maybe 10 years ago, we wouldn't have dreamt of having, you know, Real America's Voice and the whole team and the whole distribution network and all that. | ||
| Those things. | ||
| And so, you know, great credit to Rob and Parker Sigg and the Rav team. | ||
| And of course, this is the War Room. | ||
| So we have to shout out Denver as well for all their production. | ||
| And I see some Fist pumps going up there as well, which is where the production happens in real time. | ||
| But let's talk about what it actually takes to put something like this together. | ||
| You have a script, you have the book, right? | ||
| You have all that. | ||
| Where do you start? | ||
| I mean, that's always the hardest part for me. | ||
| It's the hardest part as a writer. | ||
| I think it's the hardest part when you first even get up onto a stage, is where do you start? | ||
| So where did you start with the movie? | ||
| What was the first spark of inspiration? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, you know, I got the book, and it's interesting because I did live through this, you know, and I had actually worked on the Trump Super PAC in 2016, and we had done a number of our own things. | |
| We did Clinton Cash, and we did Riding the Dragon with Peter Schweitzer in 2020. | ||
| So we had been kind of dealing with these topics. | ||
| What's interesting about this book is this brings everything together, right? | ||
| This brings it all together. | ||
| It goes everything, it covers everything from Clinton all the way, soup to nuts, And the book is a very thoroughly researched and kind of defining document. | ||
| And there's a lot of characters and there's a lot of things going on. | ||
| And so what I was trying to do was get down to the through line that showed a pattern. | ||
| And that's really what it's about. | ||
| This is the same pattern over and over again. | ||
| Pick a target. | ||
| We showed in the beginning of the film. | ||
| Pick a target. | ||
| or come up with an idea, leak it to the press, destroy the target, | ||
| and then show that this pattern would be repeated over and over and over again | ||
| through their various operations. | ||
| The other nice thing is that it was in chronological order. | ||
| So when they failed at one thing, they moved on to the next thing. | ||
| So it was really trying to, it's more about whether it's Donald Trump or somebody else, the pattern is the same. | ||
| And you say it in the book multiple times, like these guys aren't even that creative. | ||
| You know, they're just like, well, let's just switch it from Russia to Ukraine. | ||
| Like, you know, they're not a very creative group of people, but they do have vast resource and so on. | ||
| So it really came down to like figuring out what the through line is, because with a book you have multiple dimensions. | ||
| You can jump time, You can explain things for long periods of time. | ||
| In a movie, you're linear. | ||
| It's one thing after another and that thing that comes after the next thing really matters. | ||
| So I took a lot of time to really distill down in the book. | ||
| Moving from point A to point B. And we had to drop a number of characters that we love. | ||
| Yeah, that's where you and I and Thouette Ward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah, I want to hear about that. | |
| Now we're getting to the good stuff. | ||
| Who is fighting who and for what? | ||
| You know, we joke about it. | ||
| You know, you could hopefully just make a movie about like two corrupt people, not 200. | ||
| And then, you know, Matthew and Dan were so brilliant that they said, no, we have to like pick eight. | ||
| And, and, you know, who makes this poster? | ||
| By the way, this poster is badass. | ||
| Um, and, and, and how do you make that cut? | ||
| You know, like, look, Strock's not up there, right? | ||
| Charmella's not up there, right? | ||
| You know, Andy McCabe's not up there. | ||
| And, and so many other. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's a hurtful one too. | |
| McCabe's a big one. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And, and so I was like, no, they gotta be up there. | ||
| And, and, and you gotta, you know, I'm, I'm glad I lost those battles because I would have been wrong. | ||
| Um, had, had you guys not chosen these characters because I think I have too much of a personal issue with a lot of these folks, and what you guys were trying to do, and I think succeeded here, is show the world. | ||
| You gotta hit pause there for a second. | ||
| Half the world still thinks Donald Trump's a Russian asset, because they were lied to for eight years. | ||
| So I think what you guys were trying to do, and I see it now in retrospect, is stitch it together for people not only who are in the know, like y'all, but people who are like kind of in the know, and then for people who are absolutely not in the know at all, you know, these are the right figures to paste on this board. | ||
| And these are the right, absolute right people to do it, and hopefully it energizes people to go in and find out the depths of what the other corrupt actors did. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, absolutely, because they're also, like, Comey, Wray, I mean, they're analogs for each other. | |
| I mean, we said, you know, in a couple of interviews, they've been bouncing around the system forever. | ||
| That's one of the things where you see the card, and Cash explains, he literally just gives the resume. | ||
| He started here, and then he moved to this thing, and moved to that thing, and moved to that thing, and moved to that thing, and they end up in this position. | ||
| and you see the, again, the pattern over and over again. | ||
| They're like, this administration, who are these people? | ||
| And it's interesting because one of the things we had to cut out of the film was, | ||
| what happened to Gina Haspel and Rod Rosenstein later? | ||
| Well, they now work for Chris Wray's old white shoe law firm. | ||
| Making, I guess, seven figures, right? | ||
| We cut it out because it, you know, it took us too far off the narrative. | ||
| But like, you know, this... Comey was fired eight years ago. | ||
| There are people we don't even know about that are doing things now. | ||
| And so that's the thing. | ||
| These guys, we want you to know that Comey is a bad dude. | ||
| But there are other bad dudes that will slot into that position that are bouncing around like antibodies in your body right now. | ||
| So let me ask that question. | ||
| I mean, you've put this amazing amount of information together. | ||
| And by the way, you know, in addition to watching the movie, ladies and gentlemen, you must buy the book. | ||
| You must support all the work out there that's going on. | ||
| To get this information in the hands of ordinary people on a day-to-day basis. | ||
| That is our job. | ||
| These gentlemen up here have done the extremely, extremely hard work. | ||
| We have the easy part of it, which is just buying the book, getting it into people's hands, getting the movie, forwarding it on, sharing it on with people. | ||
| Warroom.film is the URL you can get it at. | ||
| And I want to ask you, Kesh, about putting all of that information together. | ||
| Just put us, if you can, in the mind of Kesh Patel, Nobody wants to go there. | ||
| Is it that meme with all the dots connecting on the wall and you're just pointing to all these things? | ||
| How does that actually work logistically? | ||
| Well, you know, okay, that takes me to another brilliant point about the book. | ||
| You know, I had a wonderful, wonderful team. | ||
| Alex Torres was my ghostwriter. | ||
| Vince Haley and Ross Worthington, the president's speechwriters, were the guys that I worked with in the White House with the president for years. | ||
| So they were able to understand my ethos because we were friends and we worked together. | ||
| And we worked through the hardest of times and the biggest of triumphs. | ||
| And they saw how I operated and they were able to take How I operate and streamline into a book and say, no, we're going to cut this out. | ||
| I understand why you want that in there, but this isn't relevant or this doesn't fit with the story. | ||
| So honestly, they said, you know, we have to get the print so fast. | ||
| We didn't know the Biden administration would spend 10 months blocking my manuscript. | ||
| That's another story. | ||
| Tell it! | ||
| No, as you know, only Gina Haspel can get something through pre-publication review in six hours. | ||
| And that was a 51 Intel letter. | ||
| when she was director of the CIA. | ||
| But as a former government official, you have to submit your manuscripts back to the government. | ||
| And they usually take like two months, maybe three. | ||
| At month nine, I filed a federal lawsuit because Joe Biden had blocked it. | ||
| And at month 10, we won the federal lawsuit, essentially were able to release it. | ||
| And they said the entire 10 months, they said, you know, you're gonna put out a lot of classified information. | ||
| The only redactions that we left in the book and it wasn't worth fighting over the same seven words eight times over. | ||
| And it was hilarious when you find out what those words are, and if you buy me a PBR later, I'll tell you. | ||
| Just one? | ||
| Okay, I got it. | ||
| If it's just one, I got it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One per word. | |
| And that was the fight about doing the book, and the fight about getting the book out. | ||
| Like Raheem's saying, there's so many people that are putting out great content, not just this. | ||
| It's the ability to put it down in a way that makes sense to the experts, the people who are in this every day, the people who are a little bit below them, and the people who are new. | ||
| And that's, I think, the message of the book and what President Trump is doing here about unity. | ||
| The driving message is the truth. | ||
| People in America and the world were lied to about every single subject in this movie. | ||
| And we are still, eight years later, correcting that record. | ||
| So I think The tail end of the book and the movie is to do just that. | ||
| You all have to go out there. | ||
| And marshal the resources now in your communities together and say, look, we were lied to. | ||
| We were robbed of our ability to vote based on the truth in a presidential election. | ||
| Not once, but twice over. | ||
| Are we going to let it happen a third time? | ||
| And that's hopefully the motivating forces you all have to, as Raheem said, get out there and put this and other information out there that is truthful and not attack people. | ||
| It wasn't their fault the mainstream media lied to them. | ||
| And that's why the media is such a big part of it. | ||
| And of course, they'll be the first ones to trash it. | ||
| Which is how we know we did it right. | ||
| Let me pick up on a point that Cash just made there about reaching people who are experts in this area, but also reaching people and trying to convince people in a lot of ways about so much of... So much of the content, there you go. | ||
| that is in this movie. | ||
| Let's get an explainer from Matthew here about how do you decide on the topics? | ||
| How do you keep it relevant to every demographic? | ||
| And just talk a little bit about yourself and your history in movie making. | ||
| I mean, this is your 118th movie or something now. | ||
| Wait, what's the number? | ||
|
unidentified
|
This might be 38. | |
| Wow. 38. | ||
| Since 2005. | ||
| Wow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wasn't far off, actually. | |
| Tell us about the process. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, look, you know, when we did Clinton Cash, it was Clinton does this, you know, Bill Clinton shows up, Hillary Clinton shows up, he gets money. | |
| And there was no, there's no timeline to it. | ||
| It just happens, right? | ||
| This is a timeline. | ||
| This is actually great. | ||
| It's fantastic because when you have a timeline, it means you have a narrative. | ||
| And so basically that's the basis. | ||
| That's what it started as. | ||
| That's why I actually wanted to go back into the Clinton emails right first. | ||
| Because I wanted to establish this. | ||
| It's almost like we're introducing characters on a TV show. | ||
| Hillary Clinton does this. | ||
| And who's this guy? | ||
| James Comey, the director of the FBI. | ||
| So clearly this is the guy that should do this. | ||
| And you go, yeah, that makes sense. | ||
| But then James Comey's like, yeah, no one should do anything. | ||
| And then Cash puts it in and he explains it. | ||
| That's not the job of the FBI. | ||
| You know, people don't know that. | ||
| They just don't know that. | ||
| And so that is a very easy narrative to follow. | ||
| And then we go, okay, well then we move into Rushigate. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| So what you're doing is you're just telling a story. | ||
| And I want to make a movie that makes the story so you can share it with somebody like I just shared it with you. | ||
| And that really is the basis of what I want to deliver in the film, right? | ||
| Because word of mouth, you sit there, you're at a bar, you're at dinner, and you're like, did you hear? | ||
| Because that's how the media does it. | ||
| Did you hear that Trump is a Russian asset? | ||
| Because, fill in the blank, well, now we can do the same thing. | ||
| We can do the exact same thing. | ||
| We could do it in a movie. | ||
| We have to be extra, extra, because, you know, the media gets a pass. | ||
| We don't get a pass. | ||
| That's why we have headlines. | ||
| And I want to point something out. | ||
| A lot of these headlines, if you look at the dates, at the dates of these headlines, they are just a month or two ago. | ||
| That means it has taken that long, eight years, six years, four years, for some of this information to be reported on by the mainstream media. | ||
| Years! | ||
| I mean, most of them are from 2024, and most of them are from CBS and places like that. | ||
| So that's really what it comes down to. | ||
| At the end of the day, you have to be able to share this information, because honestly, The impeachment, the impeachment was a difficult one for us to untangle. | ||
| That was probably the hardest one. | ||
| Because Eric Scharmella, no one's ever heard of this guy. | ||
| He's a mid-level bureaucratic who-knows-what. | ||
| And so I want people to sit there and be like, hey, because you know what? | ||
| Vindman is running around on what's it called? | ||
| On Curb Your Enthusiasm, being clapped as a hero. | ||
| We've seen this, right? | ||
| If anyone watches Curb Your Enthusiasm, On HBO. | ||
| Not anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He shows up and everyone's like, you're such a hero, right? | |
| That's political speech in a comedy. | ||
| So the thing is, I want you to really know, like, who is this guy? | ||
| We don't know who Eric Charmel is. | ||
| We don't know who Vindman is. | ||
| We don't know how it works. | ||
| And now it is in digestible pieces. | ||
| And so when I write a film, when I sit down and write it, that is really what I'm aiming to do. | ||
| So you can explain it to your friends who don't know. | ||
| And again, I don't blame them for not knowing because it's designed to confuse everybody. | ||
| But you can deliver that information at a bar, at dinner, when someone asks you, why was Trump impeached, you can say X, Y, and Z, there it is, and that's how we write the film. | ||
| You know, this show that we're broadcasting, War Room, right now, actually started as War Room impeachment. | ||
| And it was, you know, back in the day, and it was a tiny, tiny amount of the audience that it has now, right? | ||
| And it was extremely nerdy and extremely detailed. | ||
| I remember Steve calling me literally the day before we did the first pilot episode. | ||
| He said, what are you up to at the moment? | ||
| I was up doing a couple of projects and that, but nothing really, you know, taking up 28 hours of every day. | ||
| He says, I'm gonna put you to work. | ||
| You know, I said, alright, what have you got for me? | ||
| We're going to start this show, and you're going to go through every bit of documentation, every bit of testimony, every piece of the puzzle that has led us to this point, and we're going to do a podcast about it. | ||
| And I used to co-host the SiriusXM show with Steve on Patriot 125. | ||
| Back in the day, the Breitbart News Radio Show. | ||
| And I couldn't wait, because that was my favorite format. | ||
| You know, Steve screaming into a microphone I think is all of our favorite formats, frankly. | ||
| And it's the establishment's worst nightmare, quite frankly. | ||
| So the impeachment point is very well taken. | ||
| I think it's really important to go back to that moment in time and realize That really, you know, of course the Russiagate stuff was their first foray, major foray, into the delegitimization effort of not just Donald Trump, but all of you and your lives out there at the moment. | ||
| But the impeachment one was they really first jumped the shark, I think, and that was, and it's been that ever since, and even to the point of what you see happening last week, obviously, with the attempted assassination of President Trump. | ||
| And I think a lot of us are still processing that and still, you know, Trying to figure out how we explain to our non-political friends and family how we got to this point, and this film helps you do that. | ||
| It's the delegitimization effort. | ||
| I do want to go to audience questions, unless the chaps have anything more to add there. | ||
| If anybody out there has any questions, I think you've got a roving microphone there. | ||
| Ben Burquam is roving. | ||
| with a microphone. | ||
| He's usually roving with a camera amongst migrants in France and in the Darien Gap. | ||
| He's now roaming against the migrants here in the room. | ||
| Let's get some questions, Ben Burkwald. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, if you want to, line up over here. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| Yeah, so first of all, I want to say thank you, Cash, for making this movie. | ||
| I read the book. | ||
| I got the book. | ||
| And my kids, thank you for writing Plot Against the King. | ||
| So if you got kids, I got 12 and 14-year-olds, I'm definitely plugging it. | ||
| It's fantastic for kids to understand. | ||
| So my question is, Deep State specifically. | ||
| Three names that really don't get mentioned enough, and I wanted to see if you, in your investigations, These names came up. | ||
| Number one, Sarah Raskin was one of the 39 that unmasked General Flynn, who is Jamie Raskin's wife when she was at Treasury in 2016 into 2017. | ||
| Number two, Catherine Seaman, who was the lead Russia analyst for Peter Strzok, married to Joshua Pitcock, who was Mike Pence's chief of staff. | ||
| And number three, David Buckley, who was the inspector general for John Brennan. | ||
| He was later the Staff Director for the January 6th Fed Surrection Cover-Up Committee. | ||
| I mean, the only one, you know, and this is how deep it goes, right? | ||
| I mean, I live and breathe this stuff, and some of these names, I'm like, you know, sadly I don't have familiarity with. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he was one of the 51, by the way. | |
| David Buckley, one of the 51 spies who lied as well. | ||
| And so, you know, when it comes to the unmasking of General Flynn, that raises a whole nother, we could probably get a whole nother movie on just that part itself. | ||
| That was part of our Russiagate investigation. | ||
| And there was many people that illegally unmasked General Flynn's name from that classified information. | ||
| And our system was so messed up that no one took ownership of it because there was no way to prove it. | ||
| I mean, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, the list goes on, as you say. | ||
| And it would take, what, two years later until I became Deputy Director of National Intelligence to jam through the Justice Department and say, why did you bury evidence of innocence from General Flynn? | ||
| And then when we tried to declassify it, you know, it's funny to hear the FBI DOJ where I used to work say, you can't put that information out. | ||
| And I was like, I don't think you understand how this works. | ||
| I don't work for you. | ||
| You work for me. | ||
| And then we put it out the next day, but it's sad that that's what it took. | ||
| But all these people that you're talking about, I mean, you probably know more about the other folks than I might. | ||
| We didn't go into that level of detail. | ||
| I, you know, when I want information on things like that, I read your books. | ||
| So clearly you've got more books in you or more to come. | ||
| It's never happening again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And a lot of names that we had, like I said, we had to leave off the list. | |
| But that's the thing. | ||
| I think it goes deep and there's a lot of people. | ||
| There were involved in this. | ||
| I mean, there's thousands of people probably in some instances. | ||
| The point is so well taken as well, though, that this isn't just a left problem, right? | ||
| This isn't just a Democrat problem. | ||
| This is a uniparty problem. | ||
| It is a bureaucracy issue. | ||
| This comes back, by the way, I think, if I'm reading your point right, to a lot of the Schedule F stuff and getting rid of just vast swathes of entrenched And like Nigel always says, my old mate Nigel Farage always says, and if you spot him around, he's at the convention by the way, so if you spot him around, you've got to buy him a PBR as well. | ||
| Or two. | ||
| He says, they're all in bed together. | ||
| They're all marrying each other's sisters, they're all part of the same club, and you're not in it. | ||
| If you were to make a list, there's got to be kind of a Wikipedia-style list of all of these people. | ||
| You would have to buy an entire data farm to hold the level of information, you know, of just how many malign actors there are in the government that you pay for, right? | ||
| And that is the hardest part to take, I think, for so many people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And you bring up a good point. | |
| It's something I really want to stress. | ||
| Like, you know, this film and these incidents were targeted at Donald Trump. | ||
| But the thing is, is that, and we talked about this backstage, in 10 years, there'll be a different president. | ||
| And this, these, these people will, they have their own design on doing whatever they want to do. | ||
| So like, you know, he, like we say at the end of the film, happened to expose a lot of these activities. | ||
| But, you know, they are, they have an autonomy that needs to be reined in and made accountable. | ||
| That's really the point. | ||
| And like you said, it's bipartisan, it's nonpartisan. | ||
| It just happens. | ||
| This point in history is when they got out over their skis. | ||
| Thanks to people like Kash Patel, we were able to beat them. | ||
| And just to add to that, it's demonic as well, quite frankly, and I think, you know, that's something that we always need to stress again, is the spiritual element and the spiritual part of all of this, which on my travels around Europe with Ben Berkwam over the last couple of weeks, you know, he was a great inspiration for reminding me every single day, you know, Ben Berkwam will walk into any place with a MAGA hat on, he doesn't care, he's not afraid, he's not cowed by it, and honestly, I haven't even told him this yet. | ||
| Honestly, when I was flying out here, it was the first time I wore a MAGA hat on a plane. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, the response was overwhelmingly positive. | ||
| And so I think it's time to start wearing your politics, I say on your sleeve, on your head. | ||
| But let's throw it to the next question, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And thank you for the movie. | ||
| Thank you, Cash, for all you do. | ||
| My name's State Senator Anthony Kern. | ||
| I was here in 2016. | ||
| I'm an indicted Trump elector in Arizona. | ||
| I was there on January 6. | ||
| I've had the FBI at my door, the DOJ at my door. | ||
| I want to impeach the Attorney General in Arizona. | ||
| So I'm a fighter. | ||
| I'm in this. | ||
| But I remember watching this movie. | ||
| We all know there's a lot of corruption in our government system. | ||
| In 2016, we knew about Hillary Clinton. | ||
| We knew about, we were chanting, lock her up, lock her up, lock her up. | ||
| Republicans got elected and nothing happened. | ||
| And I'm watching this movie and I'm thinking, you know, there is a two-tier justice system. | ||
| We have our January 6th people locked up three years later. | ||
| What assurances do we have that when the Republicans take control this year, or are there any assurances, that these people that are doing this to us, the American people, will there be Will the two-tiered justice system be eradicated, and will there be justice for what's happened to Steve Bannon, to my family, to these people here? | ||
| Are there any assurances that these people will go to jail for what they've done? | ||
| So, internal accountability. | ||
| And inside of government has been wholly lacking. | ||
| And there is, here's the answer. | ||
| There is no insurance, there is no assurance, unless it's done by you. | ||
| And everybody in America, right? | ||
| Yes, we send elected officials to Washington, and many of which failed us, whether there's an R or D by their name. | ||
| But at the end of the day, unless there's the War Room Posse and everybody else calling them every single day and reminding them, you were sent there by our communities, you represent us and we pay your salary and use our taxpayer dollars to travel around the world in your fancy junkets. | ||
| They will respond to the will of the American people. | ||
| And the cataclysmic event that occurred just, what, three, four days ago, I think has given us, as tragic as it was and almost could have been worse, an opportunity to say, we need to harness the will of the American people. | ||
| There can be no more people on the bench. | ||
| There can be no more people mailing it in. | ||
| There can be no more people saying, oh, they'll just figure it out in Washington, D.C. | ||
| No, they won't. | ||
| Unless everybody across America bands together to get the message out, whether it's, you know, the two-tier system of justice you want to fight, whether it's internal accountability you want to fight, whether it's government overreach or spending, what have you, you have to pick a lane and drive at it over and over and over again. | ||
| Yeah, two points to that as well, Matthew. | ||
| I don't know if you have any thoughts on that also, but I just want to say, you know, number one, treat them the way that we've been treated for the last, I mean, 10, 15, 20 years, you name it. | ||
| They are the political extremists, they are the domestic terrorists, they prove it time and time again, and I completely agree with you. | ||
| And I'll add this point to it as well, and I'll take responsibility for my own words up here too. | ||
| The idea that you would distance yourself from Project 2025 and that Project 2025 is some kind of extremist political neo-totalitarian tract or something is a nonsense. | ||
| It's a dossier that has accountability for these people at its very core. | ||
| And I think the people who put that all together, they know this. | ||
| You can't afford another kind of 2016 moment where you have a Kumbaya vibes going in there and suddenly Rex Tillerson is the Secretary of State. | ||
| It can't and should not work like that. | ||
| This is a hard four years in front of you. | ||
| If everything happens, God willing, everything happens correctly and rightly and with the justice at its core in November, then you have the hardest four years. | ||
| Not the easiest four years. | ||
| You have the hardest four years of the MAGA movement right in front of you. | ||
| So I totally take your point. | ||
| I totally agree with you. | ||
| There is no room now for letting anybody off. | ||
| Letting anybody off the hook. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you know, it's interesting, and this is just my opinion, you know, I think that when the campaign was going on in 15 and 16, Look, they were just running like everybody else. | |
| It was a bruising primary. | ||
| Who would have thought, like you said, until 2016, that a presidential candidate could use the Central Intelligence Agency to rain fire down on another candidate? | ||
| So I think they were caught off guard. | ||
| I don't think they're caught off guard this time. | ||
| And I think that says a lot, you know, because I remember in those days, you know, when When wiretapping of the campaign came up and I had friends who were just like, that's impossible. | ||
| That could never happen. | ||
| It happened! | ||
| And this time they know it's coming. | ||
| And I think that accounts for a lot and I think they will work in the context of knowing it's coming versus what happened last time where they... Look, they still won even though it happened without them knowing and people not believing them in the beginning. | ||
| So I think that's a very encouraging thing that they will be prepared at least with the knowledge that these tools are available to rain fire down on top of them. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| Thank you, Matthew. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| The film is Government Gangsters. | ||
| The book to warroom.film is the URL, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| We are doing live audience questions here at the Republican National Convention for the screening of this movie. | ||
| And I do want to make it clear that this movie is going across the country. | ||
| Right now, you have events in Dallas and Austin planned. | ||
| I know there's DC and New York in the schedule in the future as well. | ||
| I just want to make sure that people, you go out there, you get to meet these wonderful gentlemen out there, previewing this film, doing Q&As like this all across the country. | ||
| They told me that if I do a good enough job at this, I can come with them as well. | ||
| You're in. | ||
| Overnight, you're already there. | ||
|

You have to come with us. | |
| See more of your beautiful country. | ||
| Let's throw it back to the audience here. | ||
| More questions. | ||
| Ben Berquam, thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great to be on The War Room. | |
| My question goes towards Obama's involvement or complicitness in all this. | ||
| I believe it was January 19th or January 20th, right before Trump was inaugurated, Susan Rice sent an email to herself saying that Obama had mentioned, you know, to do everything by the book. | ||
| And I would like to know if you could comment on that. | ||
| Just in terms of why did she do that? | ||
| Why did she email that to herself? | ||
| And I guess another question is how did Gina Haspel ever get appointed to the CIA by Trump? | ||
| On the first one, so it's basically a typical government gangster Doing a CYA. | ||
| She knew that email was going to get FOIA'd. | ||
| She knew that email was going to get out. | ||
| And then once the email got out, she could say, look, look what we wrote. | ||
| Look what we did. | ||
| We wanted it to be above board. | ||
| We said it was above board. | ||
| By the way, do you ever email yourself? | ||
| I mean, you know, when I'm really bored. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Totally normal thing to do. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| And that's the other thing. | ||
| It's not like she emailed, right. | ||
| She didn't email anyone else in the White House. | ||
| She didn't email the incoming administration. | ||
| She emailed herself because She knows exactly how the system works. | ||
| She knows exactly when she left the next day, she was going to tell the press, FOIA that email, and then they would leak it. | ||
| And so, she was just protecting the entire operation they ran, and of course it went to Obama. | ||
| We know about the Clapper meeting, we know about the Brennan debriefing about the Oval and the ICA, and all this other stuff we can go on and get into forever. | ||
| As to Gina Haspel, I could probably siphon off for the next day. | ||
| The problems with what this is probably one of the most corrupt people ever she was CIA station chief in London She was the one under how our intelligence framework is set up that had to authorize Russiagate when the FBI went there in 2016 of 2015 and 16 she had to green light it and she did and And she never answered the call for depositions about her involvement then. | ||
| Then she became deputy director of the CIA under Mike Pompeo, and Mike Pompeo handed off the baton to her. | ||
| And remember, she's the one that blockaded the release of relevant classified documents until January 20th, and she succeeded. | ||
| She blocked the Trump administration from releasing more information that I still can't talk to you about that would open up another monumental oversight investigation in Congress. | ||
| It's just a shame that people like her have been allowed to get away, get rewarded, and not just monetarily, but in the public. | ||
| You can tell us. | ||
| We won't tell anyone. | ||
| Get some more breaking news out here. | ||
| Matthew, anything to add to that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, this is where Mr. Patel is the master of the universe. | |
| I can distill it down into something that is easily shareable at a bar. | ||
| Let's do more, let's take more questions. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, in relation to where we are today, it was from the main point that Hillary Clinton got beaten in the 2016 election. | |
| And the thing that I was most wondering about during the investigation over the emails on her private server was, I never once saw it brought up or the theory that the private server was not so much a a storage area for classified information because having classified information or mishandling of misclassified information raises to one account of accountability. | ||
| But my biggest question was this, in my own mind watching some of these things going on. | ||
| Was it possible that the private server was a conduit for a play-to-pay scheme to outside sources where a third party would donate money to someone like the Clinton Foundation And be able to hack the system and have a backdoor to that repository to get information on US government. | ||
| And I don't know if that was ever brought up, because if that's the case, that rises to a whole new level of criminality. | ||
| Well, this is sort of what they alleged that the Trump Alpha Bank server was, right? | ||
| It was a method by which to kind of ping and transmit information around rather than a storage or a repository. | ||
| I think it's perfectly possible. | ||
| I don't know if you have anything to add to that. | ||
| But look, this is the problem. | ||
| This is what gets me about all of these things over and over again, is we go for the kind | ||
| of Occam's razor read into these situations instead of exploring the full gamut and the | ||
| congressional resources will be taken up by, the subpoenas will be taken up by that direct | ||
| line of inquiry, forgetting all of the other stuff. | ||
| And this is what we did during the Boreham impeachment, is saying, hold on a second, | ||
| let's pull the camera back a little bit. | ||
| Let's talk about the Empowerment Control Act. | ||
| Let's talk about how all those things operate. | ||
| And then you started to get them going, you know, giving you the, as Steve would always say, hubbada hubbada hubbada, right? | ||
| Suddenly we got into this level of detail that they were not expecting us to be able to get into. | ||
| Remember, we're rubes. | ||
| We're deplorables. | ||
| We're stupid people. | ||
| We shouldn't be able to understand. | ||
| These things about how these, you know, sophisticates in Washington, D.C. | ||
| operate. | ||
| So I think there's absolutely merit into what you're saying. | ||
| And I think, by the way, again, this is why November is so important. | ||
| This is not just about what the next four years looks like. | ||
| It's also about long-coming justice. | ||
| That cannot be evaded. | ||
| That cannot be avoided. | ||
| So all of these questions, I think, Cash, we're building Cash another book right here, live on stage, by the way. | ||
| All of these questions are going to be answered in the next book. | ||
| Please, next questions for Ben, and then we'll come back to Matt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just have a real quick question. | |
| This is obviously your element with research and so forth, so has Speaker Johnson taken you up on your offer to lead the investigation into the shooting? | ||
| No, but it still stands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So do you need the posse to make phone calls? | |
| You know, so whenever whenever I encourage the posse of the American public to call, it's never a personal attack. | ||
| It's a subject based position that you make professionally. | ||
| And the posse is good at doing that. | ||
| And look, it goes back to this accountability. | ||
| We just had a president who was shot, shot, not shot at, shot in 2024 America. | ||
| And we cannot leave it to the FBI or the DOJ to investigate that and expect to give us | ||
| the truth, the unvarnished truth. | ||
| And what I remind people out there that are listening is that the United States Congress, | ||
| where the Republicans have a majority, which is the only linchpin we have right now, is | ||
| they are a coordinate, co-equal branch of government. | ||
| They are not subservient to the FBI and DOJ. | ||
| I mean, they're acting like they are by bending the knee to guys like Merrick Garland and | ||
| Christopher Wray time after time. | ||
| But they need to go in there and enforce a bipartisan private public commission, what | ||
| have you, if need be, of people who styled like the 9-11 commission or things after Watergate | ||
| and just deliver documents literally every single day, have a news conference every single | ||
| day and have every witness interview in the public every single day so that we get the | ||
| And, and whether it's me or not, you know, I use that as a sort of a, you know, half serious. | ||
| Half-joking sort of way of getting it attention. | ||
| There are many people that can participate in that. | ||
| The point is Congress and Speaker Johnson, I will hope, activate it. | ||
| We call him Polly Pockets, by the way. | ||
| Go ahead, Matthew. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, I would hope that, you know, the movie acts as the gateway to reading the book. | |
| Because I do think that in the context of really understanding, if you want to know the deep dive and the work that was done, That, you know, for Russiagate and the work that Cash did, and how it can be applied to these new things, I really, really highly recommend it. | ||
| You know, I did the audiobook. | ||
| I'm dyslexic, so I have to do audiobooks. | ||
| But yeah, it will, as you think about all these things, and you think about this investigation, and you think about this whole thing with the Secret Service and the FBI and all these things, it really does lay out the kind of work That is needed to get to the bottom of something like this, because to us, it almost seems very obvious. | ||
| But there's a lot of work that has to be done and a lot of work that these brave people do. | ||
| And let me just give you return to Gina Haspel, my favorite person in the world, and tell you how bad she was as CIA director in terms of failing the American people. | ||
| She was CIA director when that 51 Intel letter was written. | ||
| It had to be cleared through the Central Intelligence Agency for pre-publication review. | ||
| Again, my book, 10 months. | ||
| That letter took six hours for the director of the CIA to come out with information she knew was false. | ||
| She knew the Hunter Biden's laptop was real. | ||
| She knew it had been verified by the FBI. | ||
| It came out a week before the election, maybe two, and it was done at the behest of Tony Blinken, then Senior Advisor to Joe Biden. | ||
| And former Deputy Director Morrell pushed it through and goosed it through the system and no one has asked her that. | ||
| But the point about that putting aside as bad and as corrupt as it is... | ||
| We just found that out three years later. | ||
| We can't wait three years for these investigations to be completed or oversight to be conducted. | ||
| We need the information now. | ||
| And the only way you get it now is if you force the spotlight on members of Congress in a respectful way and say, this is our priority. | ||
| This is what we want to know and this is what you need to action. | ||
| That's the only thing they respond to. | ||
| The media will start covering it and they will start taking your phone calls and they will move the pin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can I add a point to the 51 letter that's really interesting? | |
| I think it's just a couple of weeks ago, James Clapper was asked, do you still stand behind it? | ||
| And he said he still does. | ||
| Like Hunter Biden's like, that is my laptop. | ||
| And he's like, he's a convicted felon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like he literally is like, yeah, he's like suing people because of the laptop that is his. | ||
| And James Clapper's like, nah, I still stand by it. | ||
| We're not supposed to say the same things about the diary either. | ||
| That was all fake news too. | ||
| Until it wasn't. | ||
| Until she wanted it back. | ||
| By the way, that's not mine. | ||
| Can I have it back? | ||
| Other point to make, I think, is I just want to make sure that the audience realizes we've got about 10 minutes left. | ||
| If you've got any more questions, we can take a couple more questions here as well. | ||
| I just want to reiterate for the audience, War Room, dark film, in this movie, this fantastic movie, fantastic amounts of research by Kash that we're dedicating, obviously, today to Stephen K. Bannett. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| Maybe we do a screening on the wall, the outer walls of Danbury. | ||
| Oh, don't give him our ideas. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I'm just saying maybe. | ||
| I didn't say for sure. | ||
| I said maybe. | ||
| We'll think about it. | ||
| And obviously the great Lou Dobbs who left us today. | ||
| Let's go to a couple more questions here on this War Room Live. | ||

Well first I want to say God bless you gentlemen and the War Room for the work you're doing. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| This is tremendously important. | ||
| I wonder if maybe you have a little insight on the recently, I guess it was dismissed or dropped, classified documents with Trump. | ||
| If you have, maybe you can expound a little bit on what, you know, the details on that and how that came about and what, you know. | ||
| It was a, it was a anvil. | ||
| That was thrown against the two-tier system of justice by a well-written, well-versed judicial opinion based in constitutional law. | ||
| And it's very simple. | ||
| She basically followed the law and wrote a 96-page opinion, and the radical left wing and the Democrats hate her for it. | ||
| I mean, it's pretty simple. | ||
| At the end of the day, you don't need to be a legal scholar to understand what Judge Cannon was doing down there. | ||
| And that's the whole point. | ||
| We can get into the minutiae of the argument and the points aside, but The problem I have as a former national security prosecutor at DOJ is I kept going through the halls of justice there, and they would tell me, well, this is a tradition at DOJ. | ||
| This is a principle we've had for 40 years. | ||
| I'm like, I thought we were the Department of Justice. | ||
| Don't we just follow the law? | ||
| And I would learn that they would just layer that into the American ethos over and over and over again. | ||
| And I was like, wait a second. | ||
| You guys, the chief law enforcement officers, are creating opt-outs for the law are creating alternate universes to | ||
| prosecute people and you're going to come back and say, well this is what we | ||
| used to do. | ||
| But she called it out right. Look, a special counsel must be | ||
| presidentially appointed and Senate confirmed. | ||
| That's what the law said. It could not be more simple. | ||
| And the left is terrified because the rest of Jack Smith's cases are probably going away. | ||
| They should go away for a whole host of other reasons. | ||
| But at least she went to the crystal clear piece of the law that not even the radical left wing can argue that there's a contrary position. | ||
| So it was really powerful in my opinion. | ||
|

|
I mean, look, if we don't get this movie out soon, we'll have all of these things knocked down. | |
| Someone asked me what my favorite part of the film was. | ||
| I think it was you, actually. | ||
| And I think it is the documents case. | ||
| Oh, is it? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look, it's so clear. | ||
| I mean, you have the exact same thing happens to two people. | ||
| And it literally goes out, I mean, like that Merrick Garland clip of him, I think it's like 90 seconds long of him literally saying, we went to Joe Biden's house and there were things in the, you know, while he was vice president that are classified, the whole clip plays. | ||
| So you hear it from his own, you know, you hear from Merrick Garland's mouth and then you see the headline, nothing. | ||
| And then you see the next headline, seven, seven indictments for Donald Trump, who actually is the president. | ||
| I mean, that's that's why I think it's the most clear. | ||
| You say in the movie, it's the most clear thing to look at. | ||
| It's the most binary thing to look at. | ||
| So, yeah, I think it was a victory. | ||
| And I think these cases, I think a lot of them, there's other parts, I think, of the case. | ||
| You know, again, the one in New York recently where he was indicted, I think, 34 times. | ||
| This is a similar parallel to how Hillary Clinton paid Fusion GPS. | ||
| Same thing, but she got a $134,000 fine. | ||
| And I just want to take, before we get to our last question, I just wanted the audience, or two more questions, and everybody listening and watching at home, A special thank you to Raheem Kassem for coming in here and being a champion and carrying this conversation. | ||
| You would think we planned this with how brilliant we sound, but we actually are just making up as we go along. | ||
| This is how great he is. | ||
| They called me when I was at the pub and they said, can you just come down and moderate this panel for me? | ||
| So I walked in with a couple of pints in my hand. | ||
| But thank you, my friend. | ||
| I really appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you, Raheem. | ||
| I appreciate that so much. | ||
| I want to make sure that people know where the next screening is as well at the Angelica Theatre, Mockingbird Lane. | ||
| Sunday, July 21st. | ||
| That is Dallas, right? | ||
| Dallas, Texas. | ||
| Dallas, Texas. 5pm. The website on that one is ministryoftruthfilmfest.com. | ||
|
unidentified
|
5pm. | |
| ministryoftruthfilmfest.com and of course warroom.film is the URL here. | ||
| And by the way, just to add to that point as well that you've been making, the National Archives, which was supposed to help with the document removal from the White House, were actively refusing to help the outgoing Trump administration at the time, right? | ||
| You have to remember that. | ||
| And by the way, we also have not had the audio released from Joe Biden's interview with special counsel. | ||
| This is a great point. | ||
| This is maybe the worst example of a two-tier system of justice. | ||
| Peter Navarro was sent to jail for violating a congressional subpoena. | ||
| Steve Bannon is sitting in jail for violating a congressional subpoena. | ||
| Both were instructed to assert executive privilege by the President of the United States, who | ||
| owns that privilege. | ||
| They followed the law. | ||
| They went to jail anyway. | ||
| Merrick Garland received a congressional subpoena for Joe Biden's horrendous interview with | ||
| the FBI on the documents case, this audio tape interview that we cannot receive. | ||
| Whatever subpoena is it, Merrick Garland runs to daddy at the White House and says, Joe, | ||
| please assert executive privilege. | ||
| I mean, are you seeing the irony here? | ||
| Joe Biden then asserts executive privilege over his own audio tape from an investigation | ||
| the FBI conducted into himself. | ||
| And then he, Merrick Garland, goes back to Congress and say, oh, you can't prosecute | ||
| me and my DOJ, my DOJ, which I run, is not going to prosecute myself for violating your | ||
| contempt of Congress subpoena violation, but will send Steve Bannon to prison. | ||
| If that is not enough of an example of a two-tier system of justice, you really have not been paying attention at all. | ||
| By the way, I was just checking. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I was just checking on my phone as well. | ||
| I've received two emails from Steve Bannon while I've been up on this stage as well. | ||
| So, for all of those, I've been getting lots of questions around the convention. | ||
| How is he? | ||
| Are you in communication? | ||
| The answer is he's doing very well. | ||
| The best you can do in that situation. | ||
| Um, and he is emailing me and sending me more messages than when he was out. | ||
| So we've got, we've got too much time to send me notes. | ||
| Ben, we've got more questions here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Did he CC himself? | |
| He didn't email himself. | ||
| No, good question. | ||

I've got one main question for Cash. | |
| Uh, obviously with the movie, everything's going on, all these terrible actors in play. | ||
| And every time that the Trump administration tried to shed light on it, it just kept being pushed back for cash. | ||
| Are there still any more bad eggs, whether they be deep state or rhinos, around Trump and advising Trump? | ||
| Or do you think that he's finally figured out who the bad eggs are and he's removed them from the process? | ||
| What's your point on that? | ||
| So, look, I think we learned a lot from the first Trump administration. | ||
| We learned that we can't necessarily trust an entrenched bureaucracy, and they are selfishly involved in it for themselves. | ||
| Irrespective of whether they carry an R or D for their first name. | ||
| I think you'll agree with this. | ||
| We have a deep, deep MAGA bench. | ||
| And that is not a conspiratorial MAGA bench. | ||
| That is a MAGA bench that follows the Constitution. | ||
| And that should be the only document we use. | ||
| And the left will categorize it as, oh, this is your retribution, this is your revenge, this is your hit list. | ||
| The United States Constitution is simply what we follow to prosecute the case against all. | ||
| And I think that's the litmus test, in my opinion, for anyone who would want to work in a future Trump administration. | ||
| I think the folks I've interacted, maybe you've had a different experience, have been, you know, all aboard the Trump train, and hopefully that continues and we add more and more and more people. | ||
| Because listen, to run a government, you're going to need a lot of smart people, and we need more. | ||
| Yeah, and by the way, no conspiracies, but no coincidences is right. | ||

|
I mean, I've never worked for the government. | |
| You want to start? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, I'm good. | |
| I'm going to stick with what I do best, which is, you know, putting everything together so people can understand. | ||
| But, you know, again, I want to thank Cash for the work he did and for the book he wrote. | ||
| You know, and I want to thank everybody and Steve Bannon, of course. | ||
| for calling me up to do this project. | ||
| And, you know, as long as there's things to make movies about that are in this topic, we will be there. | ||
| And we'll be there until the end. | ||
| So, again, thank you, Cash, for everything. | ||
| Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| I think we've got about 90 seconds left here. | ||
| Ben Berquam looks like he's itching to say something in true Ben Berquam fashion. | ||
| Go ahead, Ben. | ||
| I'm gonna step off camera, so this is one that wants to be anonymous, so this might be a tough-hitting one. | ||

Go for it. | |
| Go quick. | ||
| Yeah, I appreciate you guys. | ||
| Right before the Nunez memo went out on February 2nd, two days before there was a trail derailment with Nunez on the train with the garbage truck that derailed it. | ||
| Do you think there was foul play in there? | ||
| Do you think that was an intentional attempt to silence or kill the messenger? | ||
| I think Matthew's got another movie. | ||
| We actually just had Devin here. | ||
| And we're probably all going to see him later, so maybe we'll ask him and get back to you. | ||

|
Yeah, that's a new one to me, actually. | |
| Never even heard of it, but we'll certainly look into it. | ||
| Thank you for the question. | ||
