|
I mean, every day you're out there. | |
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
|

|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| All right, Jack Posobiec here. | ||
| War Room Battleground, in for the great Stephen K. Bannon as he continues to serve his country behind bars, Danbury FCI. | ||
| Remember, Steve said he doesn't want your letters. | ||
| He wants you to support the war room, support the show, support the sponsors. | ||
| That's your best way to get it in the fight. | ||
| And then also to make sure that we continue to press for the truth about what's going on inside our elections, inside our government, and to get the truth out to the American people. | ||
| That's what Steve Bannon's standing orders to me have been. | ||
| That's when, and he and I have been in constant daily email contact since then. | ||
| That's what we've been focused on. | ||
| Also, Since it's my first time back on War Room, since it's happened, I have to say a very special thank you to Steve, to the War Room audience, to the team, the engine room here on War Room and everything else, all the Grundoons and everyone that makes the show tick, that my book, through War Room Books, Unhumans, The Secret History of Communist Revolutions and How to Crush Them, has just made it to the New York Times Best Seller list. | ||
| As of this week. | ||
| And so as far as I know, this is the first War Room book with, by the way, the forward, of course, by Stephen K. Bannon himself has made it to the list. | ||
| So if you look, you'll see War Room books, Unhumans, New York Times, bestseller, this list this week. | ||
| What can I say, folks? | ||
| Too big to rig. | ||
| Too big to rig. | ||
| It goes to show you that that's what's going on with our country. | ||
| That's what's going on with our society. | ||
| That's why people are interested in this content because people want to know how we got here, where we're going and what comes next. | ||
| And when you study communist revolutions, whether it be China, whether it be Russia, Spain or even France, which was a proto-communist revolution. | ||
| You will find all the TTPs, the tactics, techniques, and procedures line up exactly the same for 250 years. | ||
| This is a playbook that we discovered. | ||
| You can go and check it out on humansbook.com or go to Amazon or wherever books are sold. | ||
| You can find it on humans, get yourself a copy, sign copies again on humansbook.com. | ||
| By the way, Steve Bannon, so gracious with his time on his final week, Before he left for Danbury, he actually signed personally over 200 copies of Unhumans and we made those available. | ||
| They sold out almost immediately, but he was able to do that because that's how much support he put into the book. | ||
| That's how much support he put into the show. | ||
| into the various authors, not just myself, but so many more at War Room Books. | ||
| And it's just been an incredible ride and incredible to actually be there and to be the first New York Times bestseller out of War Room Books. | ||
| And by the way, I'm sure many, many more. | ||
| Joe Allen, come on, man. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| But but folks, we are here in Butler, Pennsylvania. | ||
| We're going to be talking a little bit more about that. | ||
| That's why you don't see me in my usual studio confines. | ||
| But while we're in the state of Pennsylvania, we're also talking about also talking about The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, and some of the other VP candidates who are being looked at, names bandied about by Kamala Harris and others within the White House as to who would be the best to balance out her radical extremism on the ticket. | ||
| And so they're looking for what we're told is a moderate. | ||
| They say, we need a moderate, moderate from one of the Rust Belt states, a moderate from the Midwest, someone who can help us win one of these no-lose states later in this year. | ||
| And so that's why Josh Shapiro's name was put on the top of the list. | ||
| Now this guy is an arch liberal. | ||
| This guy is someone who's cut in the mold of Barack Obama. | ||
| He's even taken to aping and mimicking Barack Obama's voice at rallies, which is strange because as you can see, Josh Shapiro is about five foot three. | ||
| He's not a black man in any way, shape or form. | ||
| And yet he's begun, same way Kamala Harris has begun, Code switching, and we're code switching when they go and give some of these speeches and go and give some of these talks. | ||
| But one of the cases that Josh Shapiro ran when he was Attorney General of Pennsylvania, something that I've been digging into a lot on Human Events Daily, been posting a lot about this, and this is the case of the suspicious death of Ellen Greenberg. | ||
| Something that we really need everyone to focus on. | ||
| That this is a case, take the politics out of it, right? | ||
| Left, right, R, D. This isn't about that. | ||
| This is about a case of a family who lost their daughter in 2011. | ||
| She was found, her body was found, in her home, in her apartment, East Falls, Philadelphia. | ||
| Stabbed 10 times in the front and 10 times in the back, including, by the way, we're told, two wounds, two stab wounds, which were found to be post-mortem, meaning the wounds The stabs took place after she was killed. | ||
| Now, how do they know this? | ||
| Well, that's because the medical examiner has testimony that there was no hemorrhaging at those wounds. | ||
| So does that mean no bleeding? | ||
| Well, how could there be no bleeding from a stab wound? | ||
| That's because your heart's not beating because you have no pulse because you've already passed away. | ||
| That's why we call it post-mortem. | ||
| So the question then is, why was it that this case was ruled a suicide and not a homicide? | ||
| And why was it, That in 2021, when this case came up for review at the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office, was the case also ruled a suicide. | ||
| So it was up for review, ruled a suicide. | ||
| Who was the Attorney General of Pennsylvania at the time? | ||
| Oh, that's right. | ||
| It was Josh Shapiro. | ||
| That case, by the way, just this week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has opened up a new petition in this from the family, which has maintained all along that their daughter, their poor daughter was murdered. | ||
| That they've been petitioning for a review of this case. | ||
| The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is now bringing it up and said that Josh Shapiro's office and the other offices that were investigating this need to explain why they support a finding of suicide in this case, despite so much evidence to the contrary. | ||
| A lot of people are starting to ask questions about potential conflicts of interest that Josh Shapiro and his office and his campaigns may have with the family of the fiance of Ellen Greenberg saying there's a lot of ties, both familial and financial through donations and others with the guy who was the fiance of the victim at the time. | ||
| And so a lot of questions as to why he was not investigated and why he was protected potentially by this, this very powerful legal family in the state of Pennsylvania. | ||
| I want to bring in now Josh Hammer from Newsweek. | ||
| Josh, Now, I know you may not have been so in the weeds on all the, all the cases out of Pennsylvania that the attorney general may have looked at, but let's, let's zoom out a little bit that we know there's been this progressive push against Josh Shapiro. | ||
| What I was told essentially was that Josh was the favorite. | ||
| He was the front runner. | ||
| I was just out in Harrisburg at the rally. | ||
| Everybody there was talking about how it looked like. | ||
| And we were just a few, you know, a few miles away from where Josh Shapiro's current governor's mansion is in Harrisburg. | ||
| They thought he had it locked up, but there seems to be a progressive push against Shapiro and potentially a look to some of the other governors. | ||
| Josh, what do you make of Kamala Harris's deep stakes as it stands right now? | ||
| Well, first of all, Jack, huge credit to you for surfacing this tragic Ellen Greenberg story. | ||
| I confess that I was not really aware of any of this, so a lot of credit that you deserve for kind of unearthing this. | ||
| I mean, this crime goes all the way back to 2011, as you said there, with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court making moves on it literally this week, so it's never been timelier before. | ||
| You know, I guess my only comment for now on that particular subject, you know, I'm a lawyer. | ||
| I am not a homicide detective or a coroner or anything like that. | ||
| But all it takes is pure common sense to know that 10 stabs in the front and 10 stabs in the back You know, that is not what a suicide looks like, right? | ||
| I mean, it takes literally just pure human common sense to be able to discern that. | ||
| So again, kudos to you for servicing this. | ||
| And, you know, hopefully we can get some sort of justice for Ellen Greenberg's poor parents | ||
| and that suffering family there. | ||
| Look, Josh Shapiro, I think as of right now, it's hard to say, but he probably still is | ||
| the front runner. | ||
| I mean, he canceled his fundraiser in the Hamptons in Long Island that was going to bring in a ton of money for Josh Shapiro. | ||
| He canceled it to stay in Pennsylvania, to be with Kamala Harris there. | ||
| He makes a lot of sense for the ticket for a bunch of different reasons. | ||
| The most obvious of which being that he's from Pennsylvania. | ||
| And Pennsylvania is probably the battleground of all battleground states right now. | ||
| I mean, Trump was leading in essentially all the polls in Pennsylvania before Joe Biden was cooed by Kamala Harris. | ||
| Now it's a little bit tighter there. | ||
| Josh Shapiro, you know, for better or for worse, I guess for worse, you know, he's pretty popular in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I mean, he beat Doug Mastriano by a very wide margin. | ||
| His favorability numbers there continue to be fairly high there. | ||
| And at least just for the optics of it. | ||
| He is a very liberal guy, as you say. | ||
| There's essentially no prominent Democrat in today's Democratic Party, Jack, who is anything remotely resembling like a Joe Manchin-esque moderate. | ||
| I mean, it doesn't exist. | ||
| I mean, it's not a dying breed, it's a dead breed. | ||
| Those people are as dead as the dodo bird. | ||
| So it's not that Josh Shapiro is a moderate. | ||
| It's that he has the rhetoric and the affectation of being a moderate. | ||
| And maybe, I guess, on like at least one issue that is central to the far-left cause these days, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Maybe he's slightly more centrist. | ||
| He's not conservative on that issue, by the way. | ||
| But he's probably more centrist and more moderate, at least than the kafia-clad Hamas people spray-printing, Hamas is coming. | ||
| Outside Union Station in D.C. | ||
| But it's very much kind of a hit-or-miss decision if they actually go ahead and pick Josh Shapiro because, and you and I were talking about this off-camera there, you know, he is popular in Pennsylvania, but at what cost do you pick him? | ||
| I mean, are you willing to sacrifice Dearborn, Michigan, all the Hamasniks, all the jihadis there who would not vote for a ticket that includes quote-unquote genocide Josh, as the anti-Semitic smear campaign is calling him? | ||
| So, there are real questions here. | ||
| I think Josh Shapiro would also be the pick most likely to lead to mass chaos at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago in a few weeks for the exact same reason. | ||
| Again, the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party is a very outspoken wing. | ||
| They would not be happy with this pick. | ||
| They would be causing all sorts of chaos and a ruckus both outside the convention and perhaps even on the floor there. | ||
| So, it is not a pick without significant, significant risks for the Democrats. | ||
| But Pennsylvania is probably the single biggest battleground state right now. | ||
| And if, you know, if I were a betting man, I probably would bet that he that he will be the pet. | ||
| Well, and by the way, that's also one of the things, and I've been reporting on this as well, | ||
| that we're hearing a lot of members of the progressive wings of the Democrat Party, | ||
| as well as potentially even some folks in the Obama camp have been stressing that this chaos could easily be avoided | ||
| by not picking Josh Shapiro. | ||
| So basically, this is the bet that they made. | ||
| They're forced to live in it now and to lie in it now and to know that, hey, wait a minute, | ||
| we've got this governor who, you know, kind of on paper looks like he would help us | ||
| in a critical state, but oh, wait, it might also lose us states like Michigan | ||
| or Minnesota or Virginia because of the coalition that we ourselves have put together by, number one, | ||
| importing so many Middle Easterners to those states, but also by building these politics based on identity, | ||
| based on intersectionality, which is something, but by the way, that so many conservatives for years | ||
| have warned them not to do because of these glaring conflicts | ||
| that they have between their disparate members. | ||
| But we all know that ultimately what holds the left together isn't what they're for. | ||
| It's not ideology. | ||
| It is what they hate, what they are against. | ||
| What they're against is Western civilization. | ||
| They're against white men. | ||
| They're against men in general, by the way. | ||
| So these are the things that hold them together, the overall destruction and usurpation of our country. | ||
| I just wrote a whole book about this, which apparently people like because it's now near time to sell it. | ||
| And I'm contractionally obligating everyone to put that in my bio every time I'm brought up anywhere. | ||
| And what's funny is I'm wondering if my coverage out of the New York Times will be any better than it's been. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| You know, ever before. | ||
| But there is something striking in the fact that they have to actually admit it now. | ||
| But you know, this is why we've been hearing some of the talk about potentially an Andy Beshear or a Mark Kelly, which I got to say, Blake Masters found this out a couple of years ago. | ||
| It is tough to knock off an astronaut. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These guys are very popular. | |
| So as soon as I heard that Joe Biden was stepping down in that extraordinarily bizarre tweet from a personal Twitter accounts with a signature that didn't even look like it was real, it was like a holograph. | ||
| You know, my very first thought, I was actually, I was flying back to Florida where I live from Utah, so I was about to take off on a plane. | ||
| My very first thought was, okay, it's obviously Kamala. | ||
| I think Mark Kelly makes a lot of sense. | ||
| I mean, that is where my mind immediately went, was Mark Kelly. | ||
| Very similar kind of pros and cons to John Shapiro, minus some of the obvious cons from a Democrat partisan perspective. | ||
| I mean, Mark Kelly He's not a moderate guy. | ||
| I mean, again, this is someone who's voting with Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, 90 to 95 percent of the time. | ||
| I mean, again, as I just said, the notion that any of these guys are so-called moderates in anything other than name only is ludicrous. | ||
| I mean, look at their track record, their legislative history. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| But again, Mark Kelly rhetorically, aesthetically gives off this look. | ||
| He's a patriot. | ||
| He was the astronaut. | ||
| His wife, Gabby Giffords, was tragically shot. | ||
| Famously there 14 years ago in the Tucson Arizona area there and yeah There's like maybe like one issue or two where he's come out like slightly more centrist than the median rank-and-file Democrat in the Senate Democratic Caucus So, you know for all those reasons alone, I think he makes a lot of sense now It depends how seriously Democrats want to contest Arizona to an extent. | ||
| I mean Arizona is a state that That, as we all know, went to Joe Biden in 2020. | ||
| But right now, Trump's ahead pretty solidly in the polls, you know. | ||
| But before Joe Biden dropped out, Arizona was outside the margin of error. | ||
| In some of the state polling since he dropped out that I've seen, it's actually still outside the margin of error. | ||
| It's very interesting right now that all those Sunbelt states, Arizona, Nevada, Donald Trump is really looking strong there, even against Kamala Harris, from what I can tell. | ||
| So are they willing to potentially sacrifice Pennsylvania to go in on Arizona? | ||
| It doesn't really make a lot of sense there. | ||
| But I do think that Mark Kelly is probably the best pick from their own perspective if they don't go with Josh Shapiro, maybe even including Josh Shapiro. | ||
| I have no idea what Andy Beshear brings to the ticket whatsoever. | ||
| Obviously, the Commonwealth of Kentucky is not in play whatsoever for Democrats at a presidential level there. | ||
| I'm hearing a lot about Tim Walz from Minnesota. | ||
| I'm sure you are too, Jack. | ||
| He's the governor, former congressman. | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| I mean, in my view, it'll probably be Shapiro, Mark Kelly, or Tim Walz. | ||
| Look, if I were offering advice to the Democrats, and I would never do that because they wouldn't listen to my advice, I think Mark Kelly makes a lot of sense, which is why my mind immediately gravitated there as soon as I heard Joe Biden was dropping out. | ||
| No, I think you're right. | ||
| Tim Walz, by the way, is someone that I've actually heard some talk that They just don't think they get anything with him, and I've heard some people referring to him on the Democrat side as a progressive Mr. Rogers. | ||
| So someone that, you know, they're looking for someone a little bit flashier. | ||
| To me, he just looks like a Tim Kaine retread from 2016. | ||
| And look, the Democrats cannot separate themselves from identity politics. | ||
| Which, by the way, I know a lot of people have said, oh, why would Donald Trump bring this up when he goes to the National Association of Black Journalists, and he's, you know, he's talking identity politics. | ||
| Why is he playing that game? | ||
| And my point is that he's doing so because they are the ones who made their entire party and their entire movement about identity politics. | ||
| So no, you don't get to complain when we come out and start poking holes in some of the things that you've said and done over the years, because you guys are the ones who decided to make that first and foremost. | ||
| Your, uh, your candidates preferences and your candidates, their biggest virtues and their biggest resume stepping stones, as opposed to anything they've actually done in office. | ||
| Because, you know, if they want to talk about Kamala Harris's record, you know, we can, but she certainly never does. | ||
| She runs out there and says, I'm the, I am the most diverse candidates. | ||
| Her people are out there saying it. | ||
| You're hearing it said on CNN. | ||
| And even Joe Biden himself was just saying it a couple of weeks ago, but Josh actually talked to me on, on this, you know, on this recent controversy of Donald Trump bringing up the same thing that they keep doing. | ||
| Well, look, Jack, I mean, I saw the clip where he kind of unloaded on the NABJ interviewer on stage there. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| I watched that clip probably like 10 times. | ||
| I mean, I could watch it on repeat all day long. | ||
| I mean, that is vintage Donald Trump. | ||
| I mean, that is very much kind of in light Or in the same mode, you would say, as the 2016 magic all over again. | ||
| I mean, the 2016 campaign, I think part of the reason that it ultimately succeeded, yes, he obviously appealed to the Rust Belt when it comes to core substantive issues like immigration, trade, foreign policy. | ||
| But holding that aside, you know, there was a certain kind of lightheartedness, a certain kind of irreverence, frivolity, you might even say. | ||
| This certain attitude of not taking yourself super, super, super seriously, even though you're running for a very serious office. | ||
| That's kind of what I saw there in that interview. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| It was defiant Trump. | ||
| I mean, the people that are going to consider voting for Trump, even centrists, moderates, independents, they're not going to look at an interview like that. | ||
| And if Donald Trump is to kind of just bow down and just take it from this interviewer, you know, they're not going to want that. | ||
| They want to see a fighter. | ||
| I mean, I mean, the whole point of Donald Trump as a political thing, or at least part of the point is that he is a fighter and that he is not willing to take crap from anyone and everyone on his own side, across the aisle and everyone in between there. | ||
| On the actual, you know, what is Kamala talking about there, I think it's a totally fair discussion to have. | ||
| I mean, she's half Indian, she's half Jamaican. | ||
| We've all seen the headlines back when she became a senator from California, first Indian senator there. | ||
| You know, by the way, the Jamaican half of her family, as I know you know, Jack, not only is she not the descendant of slaves, she's actually the descendant of slave owners back there in Jamaica. | ||
| That you would think creates some serious cognitive and intellectual dissonance for today's Democratic Party, you know, just a few years after the 1619 riots, the riots of the Black Lives Matter movement, all of that there. | ||
| So I think that these are totally reasonable questions to ask, you know, as long as it is complemented with substantive attacks on her very far-left, radical, borderline communist record, right, when it comes to defunding ICE, when it comes to defund the police when it comes to making legal immigration | ||
| not a crime but a civil penalty, fracking ban, liquefying natural exports ban. I mean, you | ||
| know, her record speaks for itself, but you can complement attacks on her far left crazy record, | ||
| I think, with questioning her obsession with intersectionality. The fact that you bring | ||
| that up is so important because I've been reading, so I read, you know, the lefty media, MSNBC, | ||
| Politico, all this all the time to see what they're saying because this is what Steve always | ||
| taught us, is you have to understand what what they're trying to do. | ||
| So they're trying to shade away this idea that she ever ran as the first Indian American, even though we know that she did. | ||
| It was this huge media push. | ||
| That's what Trump's talking about. | ||
| The way the media described her when she was first running, when she totally accepted all the accolades and adulation from it. | ||
| Then, They tried to take away the Borders Are thing, which is just one of the most abject, starkest views of gaslighting I think I may have ever seen in my entire life in political media, quite frankly. | ||
| And number three, though, They keep trying to run this line in Politico and other places where they say, well, you know, those were just 2020 positions that she made, and she was running in 2019 and 2020, so she just kind of had to say those things, but they aren't really—I'm like, what? | ||
| Could you imagine if Donald Trump would try to magically flip-flop on all of these positions, and then suddenly the media just walks along with him and says, Oh, well, he just had to say that stuff. | ||
| Or like, really? | ||
| Because you lie about the things that he said with regards to Charlottesville. | ||
| You lie about the things that he said with regards to disinfectant and, you know, COVID-19. | ||
| He was obviously talking about ultraviolet light and various things. | ||
| You lie about these things all the time. | ||
| With Kamala Harris, they're trying to play this cleanup operation of saying, Well, you know, she may have held those opinions at one point, but she doesn't really hold them. | ||
| So that's OK. | ||
| So wait a minute. | ||
| Your cleanup operation shows that she's just a liar. | ||
| That's your that's your response. | ||
| I understand how they get away. | ||
| I mean, I get how they get away with it, but it's so brazen, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, I mean, it's admitting two things at once. | ||
| At the same time, it is simultaneously admitting that she is a chameleon and a liar who is willing, and in fact eager, to say and do anything that will advance her career. | ||
| I mean, Kamala Harris is a ruthless careerist, if nothing else. | ||
| She is willing to do anything and everything to climb up the ladder, as I think most people out there are into it, based on her California track record. | ||
| So not only is it admitting that she is a shape-shifting chameleon liar, it's actually also, I think even more interesting, it's admitting the current far-left nutjob state of today's Democratic Party that you have to say all this crazy crap in order to be taken seriously as a presidential contender, which by the way, it didn't even work for Kamala Harris. | ||
| She was out well before the first votes were cast in the Iowa caucuses. | ||
| Her campaign was over in December 2019 because she's just a very untalented and frankly just abysmal politician on the merits there. | ||
| But I think it's really admitting both of those things at the same time. | ||
| One, Kamala Harris is a ruthless liar. | ||
| Who is willing to say anything and everything to advance their career. | ||
| And two, again, I think this is the more interesting point, actually. | ||
| What the media is implicitly doing when they're trying to whitewash away these inconsistencies and these flip-flops from just a few years earlier, what they are implicitly conceding is that today's Democratic Party is so far to the left that in order to try to run for president, you have to support defunding ICE. | ||
| You have to support defunding the police. | ||
| You have to support a national ban on fracking, reparations. | ||
| Couldn't agree more. | ||
| Josh Hammer, I've got to get Julie Kelly in here. | ||
| Matter and Tifa Reuters on social media, all of the above, the whole entire slew of crazy positions, | ||
| they are now admitting that you have to take those positions in order to be taken seriously | ||
| as a presidential contender in today's Democratic Party. | ||
| Couldn't agree more Josh Hammer. I've got to get Julie Kelly in here. Where can people follow you, | ||
| man? Yeah, great to see you, Jack. | ||
| I'm on Twitter, Josh underscore Hammer. Instagram is Josh B Hammer. I host two shows, | ||
| the Josh Hammer Show and America on Trial with Josh Hammer. | ||
| And I write a weekly syndicated column as well. Incredible work. | ||
| Go give him a follow, guys. | ||
| Make sure you're always checking out what he is putting out. | ||
| Julie Kelly, do we have you there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I am here. | |
| Hey, Jack. | ||
| Oh, there she is. | ||
| There she is. | ||
| Look, Julie, we've got a couple of minutes until the break, but I'm out here in Butler, Pennsylvania, and I've just walked the site for the very first time yesterday. | ||
| We've been going around, talking to sources, talking to locals about all this. | ||
| But, Julie, first thing that I've got to say is it's shocking to me That the site of the Butler Farm Show doesn't, there isn't a single piece of crime scene investigation tape. | ||
| It's only been two weeks. | ||
| There's no crime scene established. | ||
| There's no blocking. | ||
| There's like one state police officer or state trooper that's there just kind of looking over the site. | ||
| But he said, yeah, you can drive up and do whatever. | ||
| And they're setting up for a farm show this weekend on the very spot where President Trump was almost assassinated. | ||
| Recorder Comptore was murdered, by the way, and it seems like they're just rushing on | ||
| with business as usual. | ||
| And I'm comparing this to the investigation of J6 and everything that we saw after that, | ||
| and the disparity between J6 and the response and J13 and the response is causing me | ||
| like a physical reaction. | ||
| Julie, you must have the same thought. | ||
| I do, and just finally, it looks like Secretary Mayorkas, months of stonewalling and months of delaying | ||
| the release of the internal investigation, Inspector General investigation into DHS, | ||
| the USS Secret Service role in January 6th. | ||
| Finally, Congress has that report. | ||
| We're waiting to make it public. | ||
| There will be some overlap, Jack, between January 6th and July 13th. | ||
| Most importantly, Is why, again, the Secret Service allowed Donald Trump to take the stage in public with hundreds of thousands of people in Washington, D.C., when there were reports from local law enforcement of people in the crowd right outside the White House with weapons. | ||
| They had reports of a man in a tree with a rifle. | ||
| We heard this radio traffic, remember, during the J6 committee, but they still allowed Donald Trump to take the stage. | ||
| So a lot of questions will be answered and also again raised once this January 6th report is made public. | ||
| But look, the response and the handling of July 13th by this agency, Kim Cheadle and now Ronald Rowe, is doing nothing to give the American people confidence that we will get a full accounting, a fair accounting, of what exactly transpired that day and before that day. | ||
| And I saw Rowe's performance today during his press conference. | ||
| He did disclose, I guess, some new information. | ||
| His indignation at criticism of the agency and his employees and officers, yes, most of them do a very good job. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| But that's not an issue right now. | ||
| We're not condemning the entire agency. | ||
| We're condemning leadership, including Ronald Rowe, Kim Chito, the special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh field office, and the agents who were on duty that day. | ||
| We are entitled And, um, and let me hold you over, hold that thought because this is the important thing that people in the war room audience need to understand. | ||
| We are not taking these things at face value and Julie Kelly will not take them at face value. | ||
|

|
Stay tuned for the break back, break open. Battleground continues. | |
| All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | ||
| War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| All right, Jack Pasovic here, back live on War Room Battleground. | ||
| We're recording this here in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I've come to begin investigations and work into what very well may be My second book of the year, because I don't know that anyone's written two books in one year before, but there's just so much going on in Butler. | ||
| There's so much we need to understand and so little that we're getting from federal authorities. | ||
| I'm learning more just by visiting Butler and walking the fairgrounds, it feels like, at the Farm Show, and they're setting up for the show this weekend, that I learned by reading the reports and seeing what's come out. | ||
| Someone Who has also been looking at these mealy mouth statements is Julie Kelly, fantastic investigator. | ||
| Julie, you were just talking about some of the reports that have got out and you were comparing J13 to J6 and the statements and the information that we've been receiving and not receiving the omissions from the FBI and Secret Service. | ||
| Please continue. | ||
| So this report that top DHS and Secret Service officials Really tried to stonewall a thorough investigation by the Inspector General Joseph Khafari, a Trump appointee. | ||
| Alejandro Mayorkas has been sitting on this internal investigation report since at least April, my sources tell me. | ||
| Finally, now it's released to Congress. | ||
| Not made public yet. | ||
| But it does address the failures, again, of January 6th and that we're seeing play out in July 13th, but also just this It's opaqueness, right, Jack? | ||
| Things aren't adding up. | ||
| Things that were buried by other investigative committees, like the J6 committee. | ||
| Officials who were just not believable. | ||
| And this is what we will see a little bit in this report on January 6th. | ||
| Why they let Donald Trump, as I was saying, take the stage at the Ellipse with reports of people with weapons in the crowd near the White House. | ||
| Also, what happened with the pipe bomb? | ||
| That story has completely disappeared, Jack. | ||
| Allegedly, the U.S. | ||
| Secret Service, this report says, conducted two sweeps with bomb-sniffing canines with | ||
| the device allegedly planted the night before right outside of DNC headquarters, that the | ||
| handler for the canine came within a few feet of this alleged device, that Kamala Harris | ||
| herself came within 20 feet of it, and they missed that in those sweeps. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, something just happened. | |
| I heard something funny. | ||
| So they missed that in their sweep. | ||
| And then when the device was actually detected, it waited another at least 10 minutes before evacuating her from the building. | ||
| And there was no explosive device team present near the building or at the building for secret service to disable this alleged explosive. | ||
| So it's addressed there. | ||
| And then, of course, Jack, missing text messages from January 6th, which includes those of Kim Cheadle, And now a former head of the Secret Service who was on protective detail at the White House on January 6th. | ||
| The text messages belonging to 24 officials suddenly purged, we're told, at the end of January 2021, could never be recovered, Jack. | ||
| And so we have no idea what Secret Service officials, including the head at the time, James Murray, were communicating back and forth about what was going on that day. | ||
| So this does nothing to boost the confidence that we're going to get a full and fair investigation or for cooperation, more importantly, by the Secret Service in a congressional or criminal investigation of any sort. | ||
| And this is something too, and I covered, by the way, earlier on Human Events Daily, where In many of these instances where there have been issues like this, one of the only ways that we've been able to get information as, as the public and as reporters on what the federal agencies were up to is through lawsuits and is through the lawsuits, not just from, and we've seen this with the FBI time and time again, not just from citizens, but also potential attendees from the rally itself in this case, or by the way, from, | ||
| Victims and their families. | ||
| So there's the family of Cori Campatore. | ||
| There's the families of the other two victims who've lived and obviously the victims themselves who could potentially bring wrongful death, wrongful injury lawsuits against the Secret Service and the FBI. | ||
| Not encouraging them to do so or urging them to do so. | ||
| I wouldn't, you know, prescribe to speak for them either way. | ||
| But I will note that there have been many times when the federal agencies have been refusing to produce information and it's only through these lawsuits And Discovery, do we ever actually find the text messages? | ||
| Do we find what happened before the event? | ||
| After the event? | ||
| The emails that were going back and forth? | ||
| Again, we have a series of whistleblowers coming out from the Secret Service saying that agents were meant to case the site, to conduct site surveys. | ||
| They were never brought. | ||
| That drones were not used. | ||
| That it was this individual himself, Ronald Rowe Jr., when he was Deputy Secretary or Deputy Director of The secret service prior to becoming acting director, that he personally oversaw the cuts to the staff and the cuts to the resources going to president Trump. | ||
| And so we're not getting the right information out of this. | ||
| Also hearing that secret service wasn't present at the sync meeting for the frequencies of the local police officers who would have been in that building, by the way, Julie, that building. | ||
| And this is one of the things that I'm really going to pull the thread on because People keep talking about that secret service or excuse me, the local police team, the counter sniper team that was in the building above the roof. | ||
| What people don't realize, and I didn't really even realize until I had gone there myself, was that that roof overlooks the downward sloping, not that it's that big of a slope, but overlooks the spot where Thomas Matthew Crooks actually climbed up onto the roof. | ||
| And so if they were overlooking it and they left their post, They would have been in the perfect position to see someone climbing up there. | ||
| So the questions I have are, how did he know to climb that roof? | ||
| How did he know that that was looking? | ||
| And again, uh, why were so many people not in their posts when they were supposed to be just a lot of questions and a lot of coincidences that don't seem to add up and really quite frankly, None of this story adds up. | ||
| That's why we're here in Butler conducting the site survey that they should have conducted before the event itself took place. | ||
| Julie Kelly. | ||
| Well, in addition to this Ronald Roe and the Secret Service just in general not being trustworthy and forthcoming, you also have the FBI, of course. | ||
| You had Deputy Director Paul Abate this week testify alongside Ronald Roe. | ||
| Paul Abate, by the way, the FBI official who vetoed a Washington FBI director who did not want to execute a search warrant, a raid of Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Paul Abate, the deputy director of the FBI at the time, overrode that decision and authorized | ||
| them to move forward. | ||
| So here he is, too, without any documentation or substantiation, claiming that the FBI thinks | ||
| they found a social media account belonging to Thomas Crooks from 2019 or 2020, which | ||
| means he would have been a teenager, 15 years old or so. | ||
| They think it's his, and some of the comments were anti-Semitic and anti-immigration. | ||
| This is the same old FBI playbook that we've seen over and over, completely irresponsible of Paula Bader, anyone from the FBI. | ||
| Of course, this comes on the heels of Christopher Wray the week before feeding a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump was not shot by a bullet. | ||
| This is why—who do we trust? | ||
| And to your point, maybe the lawsuits are the best way to leverage records and documents and actual evidence out of this case and situation, because, no, we don't trust the Secret Service, DHS, or certainly the FBI, and quite frankly, Jack, even Congress. | ||
| I mean, where is the pounding of the tape? | ||
| Where is Mike Johnson? | ||
| He said he was going to form, what, this Blue Ribbon Committee, put a bunch of no-name rhinos on it, with a few exceptions, and we haven't seen anything since. | ||
| I mean, I do credit senators like Ron Johnson and others who have really stayed on this, and so I commend them for that. | ||
| But this needs to be a unified, non-stop demanding for the truth and, most importantly, accountability. | ||
| Kim Cheadle's resignation should just be the start of people losing their jobs and maybe eventually even being sued or fixed criminal charges for what happened. | ||
| And of course, that's one of the other reasons that we're not getting the names of these agents out the same way that we didn't get the names of the agents in Ruby Ridge or Waco, the name of the sniper, until the family filed lawsuits and With the same way that we did get so many text messages and so many, so much information from, and Julie, I'm just going to say it. | ||
| The, the Gretchen Whitmer plot, that whole thing was completely unraveled, uh, at least in the eyes of anyone looking at it from a credible lens, completely unraveled when the thing finally went to trial. | ||
| And the fact that so much information came out and there were so many FBI informants that were involved in that thing. | ||
| Hi, Jack. | ||
| I do not believe that Thomas Crooks was not in correspondence with some sort of government asset or informant, whether it was FBI or DHS informant, someone. | ||
| It is almost impossible for me to believe because this follows a pattern. | ||
| And quite frankly, you know, as covering the Whitmer case as in-depth as I did, including covering both federal trials, this is their MO. | ||
| This is what they do. | ||
| They target these outcasts. | ||
| Currently use the same firing range that DHS agents use. | ||
| Some DHS agents use for practice, so it's almost impossible. | ||
| And then you have Paula Bate again with the FBI saying. | ||
| Had encrypted app. | ||
| Don't encrypted chat apps on his phone, but the FBI couldn't get in there. | ||
| And the messaging back and forth between him and whoever else were on these chat groups that should raise all sorts of red flags. | ||
| Did that happen in Whitmer, where the lead informant was the one who created encrypted chats and then invited all of the targets into it. | ||
| FBI live access, direct access to those chats, that in January 6th. | ||
| Encrypted chat groups with FBI informants, Proud Boys, etc., who were You know, not that that was hard to do. | ||
| And then use those text messages as incriminating evidence against... That happened in Whitmer. | ||
| Certainly happened in January 6th. | ||
| Other thing that... Go up, Jeff. | ||
| We can't just say, oh, we had encrypted apps, Jeff, and the FBI says we can't get... Who he was communicating with. | ||
| No. | ||
| What about his... Other... | ||
| Investigated. | ||
| I just saw the father. | ||
| I think it was the father and another relative walking around his devices. | ||
| Do they have the devices of everyone? | ||
| All of his friends to get a better handle on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| No, you had Chris Ray come out, right? | ||
| Julie, I was going to say your connection seems to be going in and out a little bit. | ||
| Might be on my end, might be on your end. | ||
| But, um, if you just get the, If you could just summarize for us what your current | ||
| assessment is right now on Thomas Matthew Brooks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Again, Jack? | |
| Assessment on Thomas Matthew Brooks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not really sure what the question. | |
| I'm sorry, I must be breaking up on my end. | ||
| But again, the idea that he was just acting as a lone wolf, that Chris Wray wants us to believe that he had these chat groups, that he was building explosive devices. | ||
| Again, Whitmer, same sort of pattern, that he was doing this on his own. | ||
| I want to say as well, in addition to this DHS report on January 6th, we are waiting for the DOJ. | ||
| To release his January 6th report. | ||
| Chris Ray said last week. | ||
| Will address the use of confidential human sources. | ||
| Informants in January 6th. | ||
| I've heard. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Going. | |
| And the involvement. | ||
| That comes out soon. | ||
| Going to try to hold this over until after the election. | ||
| It does release it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Terrible timing. | |
| Julie Kelly, thank you so much. | ||
| And we're going to get that connection fixed on, it's probably, probably on my end. | ||
| I'm sure it's at Julie Kelly underscore two. | ||
| Make sure you're following her on X. Make sure you're reading everything that Julie Kelly puts out. | ||
| She is amazing. | ||
| She is incredible. | ||
| The work she does can not be missed because she doesn't accept no for an answer. | ||
| And she digs beyond the questions. | ||
| I want to bring in here now, Liz Harrington, who's also written a fantastic piece on the plots against Trump. | ||
| That are being, of course, investigated by the plotters against Trump. | ||
| Liz, how are you? | ||
| Hey, Jack. | ||
| Great to see you. | ||
| So walk me through, why did you want to write this piece and what went into this latest that's up on warroom.org? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Well, I checked Twitter and I see this clip going around of Merrick Garland talking about How he's very concerned all of a sudden that Iran is plotting to kill President Trump. | ||
| And it just struck me that, hmm, really there's been nine years of plots against President Trump and Merrick Garland and his ilk have all been behind them. | ||
| They're not concerned about Iran. | ||
| They're not concerned about plots against President Trump. | ||
| They're the ones Who are always plotting against him. | ||
| And it just really struck me that he's coming out on NBC and NBC News to Ken Delaney and one of the biggest deep state lackeys there is to promote this message. | ||
| And I just had to set the record straight here to let people know. | ||
| No, they're basically announcing that the plots against President Trump, the attacks on his life. | ||
| are not over. | ||
| They're basically announcing that that there's going to be something else coming and they're trying to shift the blame away from their themselves. | ||
| And of course, this is something and Julie Kelly, we're just talking to her previously in the segment here where, you know, in in terms of the profile and in terms of so many times when we've seen whether it be the Whitmer plot, whether January 6, whether it be The Garland, Texas shooting, whether it be the Boston bombers, whether it be the, um, the pulse nightclub shooting on Orlando, we later find sometimes immediately after sometimes years laughter that the FBI had informants or handlers or their confidential human sources that were in and around communicating with this person or persons using encrypted chat rooms to potentially call for this. | ||
| This is something where even in that example of Garland, Texas, probably the most egregious one, | ||
| where the FBI handler is telling them to tear up Texas and then is seated in a car directly behind | ||
| these quote unquote ISIS inspired shooters who then go and start shooting up the Garland, Texas rally. | ||
| It's like a tea party rally that's going on there. | ||
| And the, and also spent another informant had spent three years and was paid over $100,000 | ||
| by the FBI essentially to radicalize these individuals over a course of three years. | ||
| So the question is, I think incumbent on the federal government. | ||
| And I said this on Tucker recently, it was that. | ||
| It's that, no, you don't have the presumption of innocence. | ||
| You have the presumption of guilt. | ||
| You have to prove that you are the ones who are innocent. | ||
| And as you say, they have been plotting against Trump all this time. | ||
| They couldn't get him off the ballot. | ||
| Then they tried to arrest him. | ||
| That didn't work either. | ||
| They tried to convict him. | ||
| That seems to be falling apart completely because of the Supreme Court. | ||
| So then what happens next? | ||
| Someone takes a shot at him. | ||
| Liz Harrington. | ||
| It's so obvious, Jack, and I think everyone sees it and no one believes them anymore. | ||
| I mean, I don't think anyone looking at what happened on July 13th and will think that this is just some random 20-year-old kid acting on his own volition, even if that were true, he would have never gotten on the building because he would have been stopped. | ||
| If this was organic, somebody would have stopped him because so many people saw him. | ||
| So nobody believes it anymore. | ||
| They can't be anywhere near this investigation, the FBI, Secret Service, all of this. | ||
| Julie Kelly's reported so wonderfully on all of these details and the cover-ups over the past several years, and we will not get the truth from them. | ||
| But another funny thing, interesting thing, about Merrick Garland coming out and saying this is think about how he got his start as well. | ||
| Covering up Oklahoma City, which we still don't really have a lot of details about that. | ||
| CNN of all places actually had an amazing expose on it all these years later. | ||
| I think it was last year on one of the cops who was at the scene that day rescuing people and of course ended up dead. | ||
| Several years later and the whole thing stinks to high heaven. | ||
| But it was Merrick Garland who was really in charge of that operation. | ||
| And what happens? | ||
| You fail up and you don't fail. | ||
| You cover up and get up the ladder. | ||
| I mean, thank God President Trump won in 2016 and this man did not end up on the Supreme Court. | ||
| But now he's in charge of the Injustice Department. | ||
| They've been behind so many plots against President Trump and the American people. | ||
| President Trump's supporters, this corruption has to be rooted out and people really need to be paying attention and praying for our country because these evil people think that they can get away with anything. | ||
| And by the grace of God, they haven't been able to get what they really want, which is what they tried to do on July 13th. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Liz Harrington, just about a minute left in the show. | ||
| Where can people go to follow you and to get all of your writings? | ||
| WarRoom.org, publishing there, and of course, Twitter, I'm at RealLizUSA and TruthSocial at RealLizUSA. | ||
| Incredible work, Liz. | ||
| Look, folks, I'm up here in Butler. | ||
| We've been going through the site survey. | ||
| We're digging into the questions. | ||
| We got Liz Harrington. | ||
| We got Julie Kelly. | ||
| Everyone in the War Room posse, it is incumbent on you. | ||
| They will try to kill this story. | ||
| They will try to make this story go away. | ||
| They want you talking about Kamala Harris. | ||
| They want you talking about the latest. | ||
| Oh, Trump said this. | ||
| Trump said that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| We're not going to let this story go. | ||
| The signal, not the noise. | ||
| Focus on the signal. | ||
| The signal is Thomas Matthew Brooks. | ||
| Who was he? | ||
| What was he up to? | ||
| We're not going to let the story die. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to finish. |
