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. | ||
unidentified
|
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | |
As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | ||
War Room Battleground. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
I never saw any episode or incident with Joe Biden as we saw on that debate stage. | ||
I don't think that there is a huge cover-up underway here and I frankly don't think that matters to the discussion and the debate going forward. | ||
I think you will see that we have a very bold and vibrant president in Joe Biden. | ||
I'm not going to engage in that hypothetical because Joe Biden is very much alive and running for re-election. | ||
Not only Is he absolutely authoritative in rooms around the globe but in the Oval Office? | ||
And I can tell you, this is someone who is tireless in terms of working on behalf of the American people. | ||
The way that the President's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated. | ||
Gratuitous. | ||
unidentified
|
Kamala Harris knew that President Biden wasn't up to four more years. | |
I mean, they would say that about you, I think, as well. | ||
And they're going to allege a cover-up. | ||
They're going to say she knew, she covered it up. | ||
How do you answer that charge, considering what we have seen transpire over the last month? | ||
First, I think it's BS. | ||
Second, I don't think it's particularly relevant. | ||
Because what the American people are going to be looking at in November is Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris. | ||
And that is a fundamentally different race going forward, and a different electoral challenge, and a different direction for the American people. | ||
Does the Secret Service routinely record communications between and amongst detail? | ||
Radio communications? | ||
Any communication. | ||
unidentified
|
Email communications are captured as well as text messages and then depending on the detail, radio communications are recorded. | |
Does the Secret Service have recorded communications from the July 13th event? | ||
We do not have radio communications from that day. | ||
Welcome to the War Room. | ||
It's Natalie Winters hosting today, Tuesday, July 23rd in the year of our Lord 2024. | ||
Can you say bald-faced lie? | ||
Sorry to make you guys watch CNN or even Fox News, but you have to see two narratives that are | ||
developing concurrently on parallel tracks that I think there are some interesting similarities | ||
to pick out. | ||
Now, look, you guys know the marching orders from Stephen K. | ||
Bannon in the war room, Posse in the war room here. We are going to toxify, get used to | ||
that word, toxify the process of Kamala Harris wanting to become the nominee. We are | ||
going to make her and all of Joe Biden's closest advisors own the fact that they perpetrated and are | ||
continuing to carry out a national security threat against the American people by propping up | ||
someone like Joe Biden. | ||
I don't even know if he's alive, let alone cognizant or capable of making decisions if | ||
any of our sworn allies, also known as Biden's business partners, were to attack us. Who | ||
would be the one that would be answering the phone call and making the decision? | ||
The decisions. | ||
You wouldn't know, just like apparently you wouldn't know when it comes to the Secret Service. | ||
Of course, Kimberly Cheadle stepping down today. | ||
But I think we need to make two things very clear. | ||
One, Joe Biden didn't step down because his health suddenly got worse randomly at midnight. | ||
You know, that's not why he stepped down. | ||
He stepped down because the American people found out in that debate. | ||
And frankly, the timing of this whole catastrophe has made a heck of a lot more suspicious. | ||
When he steps down not too long after President Trump, there's an attempted assassination on his life. And you see these lawfare cases being dropped. | ||
And I also think that it is very important we will draw a line in the sand here. You | ||
guys know Stephen K. Bannon would be doing that too. Just because you step down, | ||
whether it's Chito deciding to resign several days too late, or Joe Biden deciding not to | ||
seek re-election, or at least his advisers. | ||
That does not mean that you are immune from accountability. | ||
We will pursue, whether it's impeachment or even after Donald Trump is back in the White House, all the evidence that Congress has gathered that we would have used to pursue impeachment charges, we will find accountability. | ||
And that is something that you guys know the Warren posse is going to be pressing hard on. | ||
And like I said, we are drawing a line in the sand on that. | ||
Just because you resign doesn't mean It's the word that the Atlantic pushed with the pandemic. | ||
Amnesty. | ||
No amnesty for immigration, but certainly no amnesty for our elites who have gotten us in this position. | ||
Someone who I'm honored to have joining me on the show today. | ||
No spin with him. | ||
Just pure action, action, action, and results. | ||
Next man up, like Steve always says, is the one and only Scott Pressler, who has some actually good news. | ||
I'm always happy to be able to provide good news to the War Room posse, Scott. | ||
You've flipped yet another county in Pennsylvania from blue to red, if you want to walk the audience through just the stunning numbers. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, thank you, Natalie, for having me on the War Room. | |
And shout out to you, Stephen K. Bannon, for always having my back. | ||
And we have your back, sir. | ||
So yesterday, this is monstrous, big, monumental news. | ||
We together flipped Bucks County, Pennsylvania from blue to red. | ||
This is something a year in the making. | ||
A county that voted for Hillary Clinton, a county that voted for Joe Biden, And a county that four years ago had 15,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans now has a plurality of registered Republicans and that were plus 264. | ||
This is consequential because you hear me loudly and clearly that if we are able to win Bucks County this November, We will win Pennsylvania, and therefore we will win the White House, and we will have saved Western civilization. | ||
So the voter registration truly does translate into victories, and now we must get out all of these people that have registered Republican to vote at the polls this November. | ||
So walk us through some of the other counties that you're targeting now and how you're ensuring that these voter registrations are going to translate into, you know, come election day or come early voting, people actually showing up to vote. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Well, I want people to know, yes, we're going to celebrate Bucks County, but we're already working towards Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. | ||
And that's where I'm filming right now from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. | ||
We did a training last night. | ||
And we are 1,370 voters away from flipping that county from blue to red. | ||
And similarly, four years ago, there were 24,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. | ||
blue to red. And similarly, four years ago, there were 24,000 more registered | ||
Democrats than Republicans. So by the end of summer, we're on the verge of | ||
flipping a second blue county in a presidential year in the swingiest | ||
state of swing states from blue to red. | ||
And additionally, we're focused on Erie County, Pennsylvania. | ||
Erie decides the election as well. | ||
We're focused on Chester and Monroe in the Poconos and even Center County, Pennsylvania. | ||
Now, Center County, Natalie, has all the frat boys. | ||
And yes, if we have to go from frat boy house to frat boy house, we're going to get them all registered to vote here in Pennsylvania. | ||
And we are about 1,200 voters away from flipping a major college town from blue to red. | ||
This show, but I don't want people to be complacent. | ||
I don't want anyone to think for a second That this is not going to require sweat equity and it's not going to require elbow grease. | ||
We must be more diligent. | ||
We must work harder than ever to continue registering new voters and to turn out these voters this November. | ||
And walk me through, because we obviously know it's not just about, you know, legal, certified, chain-of-custody votes and ballots. | ||
We know the Democrats are always kind of looking at how they can steal it, whether I call it, you know, through legal fraud, the Zuckerbucks, or just more explicit, in-your-face fraud. | ||
But the Pennsylvania State Department isn't really cooperating with you guys in terms of turning over data about whether it's illegal aliens voting, or just the numbers in general. | ||
Can you walk the audience through some of the difficulties you've been facing on that front? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I think one thing that we haven't done a terrific job of is calling them out. | |
You know, your opening monologue today was about transparency and accountability and ultimately justice. | ||
And we're going to launch a similar campaign like I did with the former chairwoman, McDaniel, of the RNC. | ||
I called her out peacefully and respectfully for 304 days, and we're going to start doing the same exact thing with the Pennsylvania Department of State. | ||
But I will say one thing to the War Room Posse. | ||
If any of you out there are able to show me an illegal alien, a non-citizen, being on the voter rolls anywhere across the country, but especially In Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. | ||
You shall be evidence of that and my organization, Early Vote Action, will immediately launch an audit and an investigation in any county that is engaged in that unlawful activity or fraudulent activity. | ||
If, for example, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on day one, if you provided me that information, we will launch an immediate at it. | ||
And so you can go to my my ex account at Scott Pressler. | ||
If you have such evidence, we will take immediate action. | ||
And what's the rationale that the State Department is giving you guys when you ask for this information, when you ask for the data that they're not handing it over? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, they are saying that the automatic voter registration That they have checks and balances to make sure that illegal aliens, for example, in Pennsylvania, non-citizens can get a driver's license and we have automatic voter registration for those people that have driver's licenses. | |
And they say, say, take that as you will, that there are checks and balances to make sure that no illegal aliens are getting registered to vote. | ||
And so all I'm asking is a very simple question. | ||
I'm asking the Pennsylvania State Department, can you, Certainly. | ||
And with definitive ability, tell me. | ||
That there is not a single illegal alien non-citizen registered to vote, whether active or inactive on the voter rolls in Pennsylvania. | ||
And so it will be interesting to see if they ever respond. | ||
And if any of the War Room Posse are able to show me proof, because then if we're able to get a definitive answer from them and then show them at least just one, just one example, then that would be a firestorm heard across the nation. | ||
And it could very well impact secretaries of state across the country, ensuring other levels of accountability going into the all-important November election. | ||
And speaking about how we can't become complacent, I know from, you know, the Twitter sphere that you and I both probably inhabit, Kamala Harris seems to be like the most unlikable candidate in the history of unlikable candidates. | ||
But nonetheless, she's raised a heck ton of money. | ||
You know that they will throw everything in the kitchen sink, whether it's a pandemic or this electioneering, the voter fraud, to ensure a victory, quote unquote. | ||
What is the message that you would give to people concerning Her candidacy and also just your kind of perspective, the boots on the ground. | ||
Is she more liked than Biden? | ||
What do people think of her? | ||
unidentified
|
You know, my message to all of you listening is Kamala is a serious contender. | |
Even Biden was a serious contender because the Democrats are going to fall in line like they are right now. | ||
Everybody is falling in line There's no contest. | ||
They're gonna support her. | ||
She's raising money. | ||
And ultimately, the Democrats have a machine. | ||
Even now, in this Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2023, a Democrat candidate died before election, and he was elected into office. | ||
For Democrats, it doesn't matter if they are a corpse or cadaver. | ||
They will do whatever they can to get their candidate across the finish line. | ||
And I ask you very humbly, I'm saying this respectfully to all of you because I respect you, When dealing with Kamala, I encourage you not to do ad hominem attacks. | ||
I encourage you, even as easy as it is, I encourage you to focus on policy. | ||
This is a woman that, as DA, locked up black, white, and brown American citizens, even Nonviolent offenders. | ||
This is a woman that spent her career locking up Americans while allowing for illegal aliens to break our laws, to assault women and children, and ultimately, Kamala rewarded illegal aliens with freedom while locking up American citizens versus Donald Trump Who used his presidential power with the First Step Act to actually release nonviolent offenders. | ||
And Natalie, I had a phone call yesterday from a gentleman within prison, and I'm not going to say where, in Pennsylvania, and he was talking to me about how prisoners see that Democrats are really rewarding illegal activities while locking up our own people. | ||
They see the crisis at the border. | ||
Even the price of commissary has increased under Democrats. | ||
So please, you at home, Focus on Kabbalah's destructive and dangerous policies that are just going to be a continuation of war and poverty and an open border, and it's going to hurt working-class America. | ||
Focus on the policies, not ad hominem attacks. | ||
They say that very respectfully. | ||
Scott, if people want to follow you, help support Early Vote Action, stay up to date with everything you're doing, which is quite a busy schedule. | ||
You put Joe Biden's calendar to shame. | ||
Where can they go to do all that? | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Well, this week I'm going to be announcing a state director for Early Vote Action. | ||
This is my organization, EarlyVoteAction.com. | ||
You know, I've never asked for direct funding from you guys, never in the decade that I've been doing this. | ||
And today I'm making a direct ask to the War Room, to the War Room Posse. | ||
I'm asking you. | ||
We are going to be hiring 19 full-time staffers across Pennsylvania, 19 everywhere from Erie To Pittsburgh, to the center of the state, to Northeast Pennsylvania, and to Philly and Monaco and Chester and Delaware. | ||
If you want direct face-to-face voter contact, doing voter registration, door knocking, and get out the vote that isn't spent on television or brick and mortar, then I ask you, please consider chipping in whenever you can. | ||
I know in this Joe Biden Academy, it's hard. | ||
Whenever you can, please go to earlyvoteaction.com. | ||
That's earlyvoteaction.com. | ||
And I would be humbled by your generosity so I can continue hiring people across Pennsylvania and win the state for Donald J. Trump and for our vice presidential nominee, J.D. | ||
Vance. | ||
Scott Pressler, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
unidentified
|
Thanks, Nat. | |
Of course. | ||
Our next guest, back by popular demand, shall we say, is the one and only Mike McCormick, former stenographer for the one and only, who is not back, frankly, not by popular demand. | ||
That's Joe Biden, of course. | ||
Mike joins us now. | ||
Now, Mike, you had a pretty explosive hit with us, but was it too Weeks ago. | ||
We can certainly pick up where we left off on that, but I would sort of love to get your analysis looking at the kind of, you know, competing factions within the Democratic Party, how we got to what was that rather bizarre Sunday tweet, not even having an official seal, sort of a weird signature on it. | ||
Your kind of inside baseball analysis of what you think is going on. | ||
Well, the big thing was that Mike Donilon and Steve McKenney went and delivered the news. | ||
I mean, I've seen reporting that it was a phone call by Nancy Pelosi and, I guess, Chuck Schumer. | ||
But I think with Ricketti and Mike Donilon, those are the hardcore operatives that have been propping Joe up behind the scenes. | ||
And probably what they talked about was who gets the architecture they've set up with all this illegal immigration for rigging the election. | ||
So does Kamala get that? | ||
Or does that go to, is that up for grabs? | ||
Or does Joe hang on to it? | ||
That's why I thought Joe, I didn't think we'd see this day. | ||
I thought Joe Biden would run as a president because he had put together this rig. | ||
So surprise me, caught me off guard. | ||
I'm sure caught a lot of people, might've caught Ricketty and Tom Donilon off guard, or Mike Donilon. | ||
So that's behind the scenes. | ||
Who won in that? | ||
Look, Joe Biden's still a criminal. | ||
And there is a lot of stuff coming out about what happened with the White House and the Secret Service and the FBI and the assassination attempt on Trump. | ||
I did a sub stack not too long ago. | ||
Basically, the White House announced Jill Biden's trip to Pittsburgh only about three days before she left. | ||
So it was July 10th, they announced it. | ||
She did the trip on the 13th. | ||
And pardon me, Trump announced his trip there on July 3rd. | ||
So he had 10 days notice. | ||
So it almost seemed like the White House put this trip of Jill Biden together at the last minute. | ||
Highly unusual. | ||
It wasn't a political trip. | ||
She went up there and went to the American Sons and Daughters of Italy in Pittsburgh, 400 people. | ||
She gave a speech about her Italian heritage. | ||
There's only three lines, about a 10 minute speech. | ||
So her total time on the ground was about an hour and a half. | ||
When did the Secret Service learn from the White House, Jill's coming on this trip and we need to pull people off the Trump detail and put her on protection for Jill? | ||
That's a big question, because if it was after when Donald Trump made his announcement, then this is sort of a significant step in the timeline. | ||
All of a sudden, Joe Biden and the White House put this thing together that pulls the security away from President Trump. | ||
We've got to get to the bottom of that. | ||
And walk us through more on getting to the bottom of things, the sort of cover-up that we've seen now for months, if not years, On Joe Biden's health or lack thereof, you know, from your perspective as someone who's been around these people, especially the kind of different, like I was saying, factions within the Democratic Party, you know, what was the interest to keep Joe Biden propped up for so long? | ||
And now you have Kamala Harris coming in sort of the 11th hour, at least what looks to be Kamala Harris. | ||
How do you see sort of that whole system, that narrative developing the way it did? | ||
Well, I think what happened was Joe and his advisors were hardcore in setting up this rig. | ||
They rigged 2020, and they figured they could get away with it again. | ||
And when health really started to flag, you know, I used to travel with Dr. Kevin O'Connor. | ||
Dr. O'Connor was a good guy with me, but man, did he do a terrible job for the country. | ||
You know, he's got a patient, Joe Biden, so he listened to his patient, but he was paid by American taxpayers. | ||
He should have been, honest with the world and said, you know what, we got a guy who's not able to do this. | ||
And Kamala Harris was certainly in on that. | ||
So they ran this whole primary season. | ||
All these Democratic voters are out there. | ||
They've got to be sick to their stomachs. | ||
I voted for Joe Biden. | ||
And now what happens? | ||
He's getting pulled off of the election ticket. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
So behind the scenes, it was Doc O'Connor, the Advisors, his inner circle, the Tony Blinkens and the Mike Donelans and the Tom Donelans, those guys, Steve Ricchetti. | ||
But the doc was in on it, and so was the family. | ||
So when it finally became obvious that Joe couldn't go, Joe's been a quitter. | ||
There's two things Joe Biden is. | ||
One, he's a quitter, and two, he's a criminal. | ||
So, you know, he quit the race. | ||
That doesn't mean he gets out of it. | ||
I think we got to put together an impeachment process for Joe Biden. | ||
When he gets, if there's a good impeachment process in the House, the Oversight Committee, if they get real witnesses in there, like me, who saw Joe Biden commit a crime on Air Force Two, we can go under oath and that becomes the evidence. | ||
They've always said, we don't have evidence to impeach Joe Biden. | ||
Yes, you do. | ||
You just haven't called the right witnesses and put them under oath. | ||
So I'd love to talk to, uh, Congresswoman Margie Taylor Greene or Congressman Gates. | ||
Those guys can put me on that witness list. | ||
And I will testify under oath, Joe Biden committed a crime in 2014 on Air Force Two with Jake Sullivan. | ||
And that conspiracy went through all the way to his presidency right now. | ||
And he may have presidential immunity, but it doesn't begin until he becomes president. | ||
So he doesn't get past the seven-year Um, statute of limitations. | ||
So Joe Biden's a criminal and we have to get to the bottom of it. | ||
There's so many crimes that they committed. | ||
And that's what I think they, they had to push them out of there because they realized once, uh, when Trump, when Trump survived, what was obviously an assassination attempt with government backing, they had to get Joe out of there because he's the, uh, he's the guy that's gonna, Deal, you know, he's not going to make a deal and he's going to have to, they got to cover him up now. | ||
So Joe Biden's a criminal and we got to get to the bottom of why, why all these things were done to keep him in and what he did to get in there. | ||
And walk us through a little bit more your thoughts on on this shooting. | ||
You know, obviously, Kimberly Cheadle stepping down today. | ||
I think it's sort of a similar, dare I say, limited hangout approach that we see even, frankly, with Joe Biden stepping down, thinking that it'll sort of take the heat, the pressure off of people wanting to hold them accountable. | ||
But but what what is your assessment thus far? | ||
We've got a few minutes. | ||
I'll hold you through the break. | ||
But on the sort of cover up that we're already already sort of starting seeing developing with regard to the shooting. | ||
Well, you know, there's two sides to it. | ||
There's the criminal cover-up, so they're covering the crimes. | ||
But then there's the polling. | ||
And there's the astonishingly fantastic Republican National Convention. | ||
So President Trump is out in front. | ||
He's doing a fantastic job. | ||
He's got a great vice president. | ||
J.D. | ||
Vance is going to be superb at what he does. | ||
I mean, I've worked with three vice presidents. | ||
I like J.D. | ||
Vance a lot. | ||
He speaks straight and he's smart. | ||
And he's a lot smarter than Joe Biden was, and he's not as sleazy dirty as Joe Biden was. | ||
So that's all good for the future. | ||
I think that's what they had to respond to, too, was, you know, one of the things, working in the White House press office as long as I did, the thing you learn, the thing I learned is how scared the president and the White House is of us. | ||
They are scared of us. | ||
They are scared of us learning what's really going on behind the scenes. | ||
And that's what's happening right now. | ||
And they don't know what to do. | ||
They're scrambling with the deep state is scrambling and they're scrambling on all different fronts. | ||
It's starting to unravel and it's unraveling fast. | ||
We have to be careful. | ||
The minute you walk out your front door you have to understand it's like what Scott Preston was just saying. | ||
We're in enemy territory. | ||
The Democratic Party is a machine, and they're a machine to put us away for good. | ||
One of the things Joe Biden always used to say about Republicans is, we can do this great if they just get out of the way. | ||
Well, what he meant was us, the Republican voters. | ||
Now he's focusing on MAGA. | ||
Dark MAGA, he calls us. | ||
That's who he's after. | ||
That's who they're after. | ||
And it's growing. | ||
It's growing in front of it, and they don't know what to do with it. | ||
Behind the scenes, things are in a good place. | ||
President Trump is the right leader at the right time. | ||
We've got to get the Congress to back us up, get more action out of the Congress. | ||
They did a good job yesterday with the hearing. | ||
They got her to resign. | ||
Keep going with the hearing and get to the bottom of that sleazy operation that the Secret Service did. | ||
And, Mike, I want to hold you through the break because I want to keep Picking your brain, you're one of the few people I think we have on the show who knows these people, you know, up close and personal. | ||
And for that, I apologize. | ||
We'll also have Congressman Tim Burchett joining us after the break with an update on Stephen K. Bannon, how the House is backing his appeal efforts. | ||

All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Welcome back to the War Room. | ||
It's still Natalie G. Winters holding down the fort, but I'm honored to be joined by Mike McCormick and shortly Congressman Tim Burchett. | ||
Mike, before I let you go, I would love to just kind of get your predictions for how you think we're going to see all this play out moving forward. | ||
I would assume you think that Kamala will probably become the not just presumptive nominee, but the actual nominee. | ||
But how you think Well, it's going to be a mess in Chicago, that's for sure. | ||
And it's going to be Chicago thuggery. | ||
You know, there's always been sort of a hint that Michelle Obama might pop in there at the last minute. | ||
I don't see that happening. | ||
She did not have an enjoyable time in the White House behind the scenes. | ||
They had a corporate marriage. | ||
Barack Obama, I don't think was a good husband to her, and I don't think he was, frankly, I've said it on the show, I think he had gay relationships while he was president, and they had him covered up. | ||
So that's behind the scenes in the Democratic politics, and that's going to be part of this convention. | ||
Clintons do. | ||
The Clintons are probably waiting in the background. | ||
Joe Biden used to have breakfast with Hillary Clinton once a week. | ||
So he always wanted to be the president, and he would have breakfast with her because he knew kind of the deal was made to have her run in 2016. | ||
And, you know, the people are... The reporting has been that Joe was so angry that he didn't get to run, that Barack Obama sort of pushed Hillary up the ladder ahead of him. | ||
And, um, you know, that's, that's just kind of, there's a little bit of BS there. | ||
There's a, uh, email and a buy the laptop between a couple of operatives. | ||
Hunter and one of the operatives, Alexander Mackler, when he talked about when Joe Biden got talked about running for president in September, October 2015 by David Axelrod. | ||
So that was basically Obama's guy went and talked Joe out. | ||
But Joe quit. | ||
I mean, that's what you got to understand about Joe. | ||
There's two things about him. | ||
One, he's a quitter. | ||
And two, he's a criminal. | ||
And you can read all about his criminal stuff in my book, The Case of Impeachment in Prison, Joe Biden. | ||
Mike, if people want to follow you, get the book, Where Can They Go?, to do all that. | ||
Books on Amazon are Barnes & Noble, all kinds of stuff in there about Joe's crimes in Ukraine and with the Southern Border, the beginning of this Southern Border mess in Honduras with the Alliance for Prosperity. | ||
Uh, it's on and you can follow me on Twitter. | ||
I'm at or truth social at Joe unauthorized at Joe unauthorized. | ||
And my sub stack is midnight in a laptop. | ||
I'm good and evil. | ||
Lots of stuff there. | ||
Lots of stuff back in the, uh, in the archives, a little bit of a paywall to get there, but there's also good stuff. | ||
That's not paywalled. | ||
Mike, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
We'll have you back on soon. | ||
Thanks, Natalie. | ||
Of course. | ||
There's already some interesting reporting coming out from Heritage. | ||
Oversight investigators will be joined by the guys over there tomorrow, but on how a similar kind of fraudulent voter scheme, if you guys recall from 2020, the Native American voter registration, where they're basically paying people to vote for Joe Biden, there seems to be A similar program being rolled out already for Kamala, like I said, will be joined by those Heritage guys tomorrow. | ||
I'm honored to be joined—this is really an all-star show, made even more all-star by the one and only Congressman Tim Burchett. | ||
Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
I'm curious to get your thoughts and if you can give the audience any updates. | ||
I understand that the House has sort of backed Steve Bannon's, for lack of a better word, appeal efforts when it comes to rendering or basically nullifying the January 6th committee, making the subpoenas invalid. | ||
Can you sort of walk us through what that development means? | ||
Yeah. | ||
The bill has been filed to do that, to maybe basically just disqualify the committee as an invalid committee. | ||
We all know it was an invalid committee. | ||
The speaker at the time was not allowed to They kicked Jim Jordan and some others off of it. | ||
And then they picked, of course, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the Speaker did, Speaker | ||
Pelosi. | ||
So, clearly, the committee was not formed like any other committee had been formed, | ||
at least in my tenure here in the House. | ||
And so by doing that, of course, then the subpoenas would be invalid, and then Steve Bannon's wrongful conviction would be invalid. | ||
So then, of course, how long does it take to get this stuff done? | ||
It's an amicus brief, of course, and it goes before the courts, and then it takes They take their own sweet time. | ||
I just, I hate it. | ||
I hate it because of what's going on. | ||
But I wonder too, if he, um, if they end up releasing him because of this, the lawsuit that he will have. | ||
So I suspect that will be, as my little girl says, ginormous. | ||
And it should be because you've, uh, in this country, imprisoning somebody wrongful is about the greatest breach of Trust that you can have. | ||
To me, I can't imagine stealing time from somebody's life. | ||
And that's exactly what they're doing to Steve Bannon. | ||
And Congressman, the number one question that I get from our audience is that why did it take you guys, and I know you're one of the good ones, but why did it take the Speaker, why did it take House Republicans so long to get their act together? | ||
What was it, one or two days before Steve was supposed Yeah. | ||
to surrender before you guys really did anything meaningful? | ||
Again, it's not you, but can you give the audience any insight into what the discussions were like? | ||
Why wasn't this, I mean, you guys managed to pass a bill to ban gas stoves and a bunch of messaging bills, | ||
but Steve Bannon, it was clear he was going to go to prison. | ||
Why did they wait around so long? | ||
Well, the legal minds will have to answer that better than I. | ||
I can just tell you we don't have any guts. | ||
I mean, you know, I would say that the majority of the people would stand behind Steve Bannon in the House Republican caucus, but I don't know that a majority would over the ill wishes of the Democrat caucus. | ||
So, again, I think it's We lack guts. | ||
That's the bottom line. | ||
We keep electing people here that do not have, in my opinion, the country's best interests at heart. | ||
And that's what's going on. | ||
Well, and it seems to be the case with, you know, Secret Service, too, and frankly, all the rank and file of the Biden regime. | ||
I'd love to get your thoughts on, you know, Director Cheadle stepping down the hearing yesterday. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, She shouldn't have been able to resign. | ||
She should have been fired. | ||
She should have been fired when they took President Trump off that stage. | ||
Here she is. | ||
They allow — I don't want to cut the top of my ginormous head off up there. | ||
You look great. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
I have the best hair in the business, they tell me. | ||
Of course. | ||
Now that Steve's in prison, you can take that as superlative. | ||
All right. | ||
Thank you. | ||
They allowed Trump to come on stage, and they knew this joker was on the roof for, I don't know, 15 or 20 minutes. | ||
He was spotted with a rangefinder. | ||
Now, you use a rangefinder, in my humble knowledge of them, you use them for two things, for hitting a golf ball and firing a rifle. | ||
And there wasn't a dadgum golf course over there. | ||
And you know, and all they do is divert. | ||
That's all the left media is doing right now is diverting attention from all this, because this reeks. | ||
It is awful. | ||
They washed the roof of the building off. | ||
They let congressmen on the roof of it yesterday to survey it. | ||
You know, and of course, the one person who really knows what happened is dead. | ||
And because of the inept ability of this director and the people that she had on the ground, their instructions, a brave man lost his life. | ||
President Trump almost lost his life, and two other Americans were injured. | ||
And it's clearly—and, you know, I know she said the buck stops here and she resigned, so that doesn't relinquish her responsibility at all, not one bit. | ||
As a matter of fact, to me, it puts more of a focus on her, on what she is—what she did not do, and why the heck was she ever even hired for that position. | ||
You saw, when President Trump walked in on election night, and Lee Greenwood was singing God Bless the USA. | ||
That secret service detail was not the same secret service detail they had when they walked out. | ||
Why was that? | ||
Why was that? | ||
Why was he not afforded that protection in an open field that he was in an enclosed auditorium? | ||
So there's a lot of questions that will never be answered And that is my greatest fear of this select committee. | ||
I would support that. | ||
I really would. | ||
But we'll get a report in seven months from that, and Donald J. Trump will be the President of the United States. | ||
It'll be a little late. | ||
We should have had our first hearing on Monday, right after the shooting, and said, just forget—I suggested that, of course. | ||
It didn't go anywhere. | ||
But Have the next hearing that Monday, because the FBI, I mean, they already knew what that guy had for breakfast three weeks ago. | ||
They already knew all that information. | ||
And it gave them less chance, Secretary Mayorkas, to lie to us and say that, well, they didn't ask for additional security, which they did. | ||
The kid didn't have, they said he didn't have an internet presence, which he did. | ||
We didn't know the guy was on the rooftop, which they did. | ||
So all those lies that they told, they were allowed to cover, and there's that much more distance between them and the truth and the time period that it occurred. | ||
So memories are fresh. | ||
Let's get them in here right now. | ||
Let's move on this. | ||
If we're going to do a select committee or let Homeland Security do it or let Oversight do it, let's get on with it. | ||
Yeah, I mean, really the only substantive statement I've seen coming out from DHS came from Mayorkas talking about how we can't denigrate women in law enforcement because they actually do a wonderful job, which I think is an interesting, you know, angle of attack for them to take because I think of all the discussion that we've heard coming from our side, I think the sort of DEI, affirmative action, you know, female cop trope, is the one that they're most likely to engage with because | ||
it effectively allows them to, I think, skate out from the real questions, as we saw | ||
yesterday, that Kimberly Cheadle was either unwilling or unable to answer. We played the clip in the | ||
cold open where she says they don't have any of the recordings, or at least the radio recordings | ||
from that incident. That, of course, bears a striking similarity to the, you know, conveniently | ||
deleted text messages from all of January 6th, but you used the word divert when you were | ||
talking about what the media is doing when it comes to, I won't say, I won't allege a cover-up, | ||
but sort of covering up this story. | ||
In terms of where you think this committee needs to go, right, we see heritage oversight investigators already tracking Phone data when it comes to acquaintances of Thomas Matthew Crooks, one individual in June of 2023 being traced to a building less than half a mile away from FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. | ||
Like I said, we'll have the guys behind that report on the show tomorrow. | ||
But where do you think this investigation needs to hone in on so we don't have just another, you know, Trey Gowdy, Benghazi-style commissioner report where it means nothing? | ||
Yeah, that's where it's going. | ||
And I'll tell you what the end result will be. | ||
They'll come and say, we need more money. | ||
That will be the end result. | ||
That's the Washington answer to everything. | ||
More money. | ||
They've got over a billion dollars. | ||
I think they watched like 22 people and they failed. | ||
They failed at watching, in my opinion, one of the top two. | ||
Well, that should be everybody's opinion. | ||
Top two people in the world that they're supposed to be watching and they failed. | ||
Drastically, horribly at that. | ||
Could you imagine where we would be right now if they had killed President Trump or if they'd killed President Biden, God forbid? | ||
We would be in a horrible state of affairs right now. | ||
The Democrats would be on their highest horse yelling, let's get it. | ||
Do you think that Joe Biden would have dropped out had the assassination attempt been successful? | ||
unidentified
|
No, absolutely not. | |
And walk us through the timing of that and why you say that. | ||
Do what? | ||
Walk us through why you think that. | ||
Because the Democrats don't elect a person. | ||
They elect a philosophy or a program, and that's what they're after. | ||
They don't care as long as—I mean, that's why you have these old chairmen around here. | ||
and chairwomen that really aren't fit anymore physically or mentally to be in office. | ||
They're not in control. It's their little circle of influence. It's the K-Street lobbyists that | ||
pull their string, that employ all their family members, that make sure they get all their pork | ||
projects in big bills. That's who stays in power. You rarely see young people. | ||
I mean, I'm 59. | ||
I guess I'm relatively young compared to some of these cats. | ||
You never see folks like me take a committee position and keep it very long. | ||
If they do, it's just a short-lived deal or they reel you in and you're so compromised that you stay in those positions. | ||
So both parties do that. | ||
And that's really a shame because we're not paying attention to what's going on. | ||
We're not paying attention to who's running our dadgum country. | ||
And when you see Joe Biden stepping down when you see or rather saying he's not going to seek reelection, maybe stepping down, Chito resigning. | ||
I do think part of it, whether you want to call it a limited hangout or just trying to | ||
kind of skirt responsibility, right, kind of pour some water on the fire. | ||
What would your message be to those individuals? | ||
Again, as someone who is part of Oversight, you've seen the investigations that you guys | ||
have at least been trying to conduct, gathering the information that hopefully the Trump DOJ | ||
will be able to bundle up and actually criminally charge these people if you think that's something | ||
that they're deserving of. | ||
Do you think that them stepping down, is it almost more shameful in that it's an effort | ||
for them to try to evade responsibility for their actions? | ||
They are trying to evade. | ||
And again, that's why it's so important that the 20 or 30 million people who decided not | ||
to go to the polls last time because of a mean tweet, they realize that what's going | ||
It's not just the head person. | ||
These things are corrupted down You know, somebody said we ought to fire 75% of the people in these departments. | ||
I think that's a good start. | ||
Look at the cocaine in the White House. | ||
It was found, allegedly, in another portion of the White House, and then they showed it in a locker, unlocked locker, which is still unusual. | ||
The lock hadn't been jimmied or nobody put a screwdriver in to pop the lock. | ||
In the only section of the White House that didn't have a camera. | ||
And on a Wednesday, they get us in the SCIF. | ||
It's supposed to be a secret meeting, and it turns out it's not. | ||
That's why I walked out and just blew the lid off of the thing, if you remember. | ||
Because they said, we're down to 200 people that it could be, and we're calling off the investigation on Friday. | ||
And they stopped. | ||
And they were allowed to do that. | ||
The American public did not rise up and say, enough is enough. | ||
The Democrats, the Republicans, Very few people, you know, they just assume that's just the way it is. | ||
You get kicked so many times, you just, I guess you kind of get used to it, and that's what's happened here. | ||
And we've allowed ourselves into this by, in my opinion, we elect Republicans. | ||
I know the Democrats are going to be left-wing. | ||
Some of them are openly Marxist, for goodness sakes, and they're happy about it. | ||
They're, I call them, friendly neighborhood Marxists. | ||
But these Republicans that run home, That's why we're $35 trillion in debt. | ||
at election time at their Reagan Day or their Lincoln Day dinner or their, now the MAGA | ||
dinners as they call them. | ||
And then you all keep electing these people. | ||
You got to start looking at their voter record. | ||
That's why we're 35, this compromise they're talking about, that's why we're $35 trillion | ||
in debt. | ||
That's why we are in such a mess right now because of those compromises and those people. | ||
So I would hope this is a wake-up call that we have got to put strong leaders in and we've got to support them. | ||
Congressman, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything that you're working on. | ||
You're one of the few good ones. | ||
We appreciate your fight. | ||
I feel like I'm always hard on you anytime I interview you, but Because you're one of the good ones. | ||
I know you'll always be honest. | ||
I know the posse loves you. | ||
If people want to follow you, where can they go to stay up to date with everything? | ||
On X, at Tim Burchett, and I've got a podcast. | ||
What's my podcast called? | ||
unidentified
|
Tennessee Talks. | |
Yeah, Tennessee Talks. | ||
Sorry, I'm tired. | ||
Yeah, I'm on all the other stuff, the Facebook, the Instagram. | ||
Don't have a Joe Biden moment on us. | ||
You've got to remember the name of your podcast. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Well, well, Matt Gates, Matt Gates always reminds me that 10 of 12 people will watch that every time it comes on. | ||
I don't know. | ||
And he always laughs about it, but he always watches it. | ||
So that helps me. | ||
I think you sell yourself short. | ||
I think the posse is going to pile in and I think they would love to hear more from you. | ||
Everywhere I go, all my rural counties, it's always amazing to me. | ||
And at the Republican Convention, young people and old people alike said, I follow you on the posse, you know, they're all about it. | ||
I mean, it is unbelievable, the viewership that y'all have. | ||
And it's wonderful. | ||
So thank you. | ||
Thank you, Congressman. | ||
I'm sure we'll see you soon. | ||
Thank you, ma'am. | ||
Yes, ma'am. | ||
In War and Posse, I think the important takeaway from, frankly, this whole show, but especially that interview, is that, sure, blood is on the hands of people like Kimberly Cheadle, and I'm sure it goes all the way up to the top, to Mayorkas, and who knows if the agents on the ground, who apparently didn't want to be on the roof because it was too hot, I'm sure there's some blame that should be placed on them, too. | ||
But you know who we also need to place blame on and this show will continue to shine a light on? | ||
It's House Republicans who have created a culture whereby people like Mayorkas can get away perpetrating one of the largest mass wide scale invasions on this country, the southern border intentionally. | ||
And that is the important part, intentionally. | ||
And they get away with it. | ||
Joe Biden can get away with selling this country, not just in a managed decline type of way, but in an accelerated decline version. | ||
His son can get away with selling this country to the highest bidder. | ||
And there's never any accountability because House Republicans are either a part of the system and they're in on it, or they're just too damn lazy. | ||
And they give you the happy talk when they come back to their districts at the MAGA dinners, the Lincoln Day dinners. | ||
But in reality, when push comes to shove, they don't do anything. | ||
And I know that that might be a hard charge to make, but it's true when you see this just inability to hold anyone accountable who is quite literally destroying this country, invading it. | ||
Pumping it full of tens of millions of illegal invaders and there's literally nothing that was done to hold those people accountable. | ||
No wonder why people think, whether it's Kimberly Cheadle or anyone in the Secret Service, they think that they can get away with such bold and brash actions because they know they're not going to be held accountable. | ||
The media is too busy reporting that Kamala Harris is wearing hoodies and putting anchovies on her pizza instead of asking, where is Joe Biden and is he even Alive. | ||
If only our House Republicans would step up to the plate in the style and spirit that you guys, the War Room Posse have. | ||
We'd have a different, far superior country. | ||
I'll be back tomorrow at 6pm with more explosive news from Heritage and a bunch of other guests. |
