steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
unidentified
The people have had a belly full of it.
peter navarro
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
peter navarro
Hey, Peter K. Navarro here.
Look, I'm going to bring in Richard Barris, an incredible pollster that we have frequently here on The War Room.
I want to do three things with him.
I want to start off with a clip that we're going to show in a second of something that Kamala Harris said last night.
Get his reaction to that as a pollster.
Then I want to talk more generically with Richard about why we're seeing such different results in polling, and then we're going to get into some new results.
So that's kind of the chessboard we've got.
So Denver, show Richard and me and the audience this clip first, and then I want to get Richard's reactions to the values thing.
unidentified
How should voters look at some of the changes that you've made, that you've explained some of here, in your policy?
Is it because you have more experience now and you've learned more about the information?
Is it because you were running for president in a Democratic primary?
And should they feel comfortable and confident that what you're saying now is going to be your policy moving forward?
kamala harris
Dan, I think the most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed.
You mentioned the Green New Deal.
I have always believed, and I have worked on it, that the climate crisis is real, that it is an urgent matter to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time.
We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act.
We have set goals for the United States of America and by extension the globe around when we should meet certain standards for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as an example.
That value has not changed.
My value around what we need to do to secure our border.
That value has not changed.
I spent two terms as the Attorney General of California prosecuting transnational criminal organizations, violations of American laws regarding the passage, illegal passage, of guns, drugs, and human beings across our border.
My values have not changed.
peter navarro
All right, Denver, I also want to see that Frank Luntz clip, if you have that.
Do you have that?
unidentified
Play that now.
She said, my values haven't changed.
Three times in that really short clip that you had.
And I know what that means.
I know that she was given that phrase to say.
I know that it's a soundbite.
I know that she's saying it.
She's trying to emphasize it.
And I hear that and I've been applauding her communication, both her campaign and she herself.
It's been almost flawless.
And then I hear that and I think, oh, God.
It's the same old politician.
It's the same old approach.
Some pollster, some media consultant put that phrase into her head to make sure she said it again and again as an answer to those who claim that she flip-flopped.
So Chris, I'm listening to this and I'm actually disappointed.
So I thought I was going to be able to come here.
Maybe the rest of the interview is much better.
And say this is what the American people want to hear.
This is this is going to continue the trend that she's been.
She's been articulating, but I can't do that just based on the clip that you showed.
peter navarro
So what I heard was Dana Bash become Dana Mush when she asked that leading question.
Hey Kamala, have you flip-flopped because you have more experience?
Come on Dana, you know better than that crap.
It's not like we don't notice.
But what did you hear?
Richard Barris, did Frank Luntz actually say something interesting for a change, or do you have a different take on that?
richard baris
Well, good morning, my friend.
Thanks for having me.
I'm listening and I'm like, you know, hell hath frozen over because I actually at least somewhat agree with what Frank is saying.
There's no doubt that that was a political consultant planted line.
This was not a good interview, all right?
And what I disagree with Frank about is that Up until now, the messaging was flawless.
The discipline was flawless.
The media has been running this campaign.
Her discipline, her messaging has been non-existent.
She has not been in front of anybody.
She goes up and gives canned speeches, and this was the product of all she can do, right?
So those rallies that you were seeing where everything is canned, there's no pressure, all right?
This was different.
Democrats are getting very scared because of what they're seeing in the polling, and we're going to talk about that.
But they're getting very scared, and they needed to knock this interview out of the park.
Because you've got to understand, folks, people in D.C.
think that an interview with Dana Bash is going to sway the election one way or the other.
It's really just about affirming what people may think of you.
It's not going to be some life-saving or game-changing event.
But however, if you mess it up, If you botch it, it's like if you do good, people think they're expecting you to do good.
You're a professional politician.
You should be able to go out there and deliver coherent answers to softball questions from Dana Bash.
This was not that.
This was a word salad that was given to her by the consultants, sprinkled heavily with platitudes.
Americans know that.
I mean, it smacks of inauthenticity.
It smacks of politician.
And I'm telling you, there's going to be a bad reaction to this interview.
This was an awful interview.
And Dana did everything in her power to make it a decent one.
I mean, the question, Peter, should have been in 2019 when you were running, you said you were against fracking.
When you were running as the vice presidential nominee, you told the American people standing next to Mike Pence that you wouldn't.
And Pennsylvania had nothing to fear.
But day one in your administration, the Keystone Pipeline was shut down and thousands of people lost their jobs.
So why should they believe you now when you're flip-flopping back yet again and saying that you support fracking?
I mean, that's what a real journalist would ask.
There are thousands of people without jobs, Dana.
unidentified
There are thousands of people less fortunate than you.
richard baris
Sorry.
peter navarro
Can we test in a focus group Dana Mush to see if they like that?
I mean, I've got to rival the boss in terms of nicknames.
I'm in a little competition.
Dana Mush.
That leading question.
Oh, Kamala, did you change your mind because you've had more experience?
What experience has she had?
I don't know what she did.
OK, before we get into your great new results to show and talk about.
I want to just talk a little bit about this cognitive dissidence we have with polls showing different results.
And you've got like outliers, like Quinnipiac is always like an outlier.
He always gets headlines.
ABC News is interesting because it's going to be hosting that debate, but it's made spectacular errors in favor of the Democrats now and both in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
So let me, let me, I got a list here in my head.
So the first way you can manipulate a poll, if you so choose, present company would never do that,
because we want the truth, would be to oversample, for example, the Democrats.
And you can do that, I would think, by both having more Democrats in your sample directly,
or by assuming a higher turnout.
So that would be maybe one way you can do that.
You can ask Dana Bash, Dana Mush type leading questions.
that you can do that.
There are maybe timing issues where you go out with a pole after some transit event has happened.
So what else, how else are these, the ABCs and the Quinnipiacs going so wrong?
To be clear, when you have polling out there showing somebody's gaining momentum, that creates a bandwagon effect and a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So tell me, if you were Machiavelli, And how would you manipulate a poll like they're doing?
What are they doing in there?
richard baris
You named a lot of the go-to tactics in the playbook, and I'd like to elaborate on some of them to explain to people what specifically they're doing.
But there's one that I think I didn't hear, which is You can withhold polls, the timing not only going into the field, but releasing them.
So I'm just going to say it because they need to be shamed.
Bloomberg, which is conducted by Morning Consult, has now repeatedly done this.
And to give them a textbook example, folks, they released a slew of battleground polls before Biden was thrown out in a coup.
They released a slew of battleground polls after, after The headline from Bloomberg was Biden rebound sharply in the battleground states after the State of the Union.
However, when you looked at when those polls were conducted, they were actually conducted two weeks before Joe Biden ever gave the State of the Union speech.
Everyone ran with it.
Fox News ran with it.
Axios ran with it.
Everybody ran with it because nobody's really digging in to see, you know what, when were these polls conducted?
And you have to go to RealClearPolitics if you're not a member of their, if you're not a subscriber of Morning Consult, you'd have to go to RealClearPolitics and look at the dates that they're putting in their averages.
And that is now something that's being done consistently.
And there's two sides of the coin on this.
It's a poll that favors Trump.
We've noticed that pollsters have withheld them during periods of when there is a narrative where Harris is doing well.
So there was, for instance, a couple of polls out there that actually showed Trump still ahead nationally in the height of this.
You know, it's not real.
The momentum is only partly real.
Most of it is not real.
And I can explain that more.
But it's a response bias that they're exploiting.
peter navarro
But tell me.
richard baris
Secondly, go ahead.
Just to wrap this up, they were afraid, Peter, of the narrative.
So here they are with a Trump plus one poll and they withhold it for two weeks because they're afraid to go against the media narrative.
That's catastrophically sad in this industry.
peter navarro
Tell me about ABC News, because what scares me about them is they acquired FiveThirtyEight.
And FiveThirtyEight is the website that was started by a liberal, Nate Silver, and it proposes to be an aggregate that provides kind of an aggregate of all the polls and give you an idea of what's happening.
Tell me how much that concerns you and how ABC might be manipulating things with 538.
richard baris
And Elliot Morris, who used to be at The Economist, now because Nate Silver was fired, Elliot Morris now runs that model.
If you thought Nate Silver was left-wing, Elliot Morris makes Nate Silver look like a Goldwater conservative, okay?
So that is even a worse situation.
I would say this about ABC.
There's a lot of things going on that people aren't being told.
Gary Langer from Langer Research is the longtime pollster for the ABC News Washington Post poll and ABC News itself.
George Stephanopoulos was not happy about six months a year ago when Gary Langer was coming out with the Trump Plus 10s.
Do you remember the ABC News Washington Post Trump Plus 12?
Well, that was the last we saw of Gary Langer.
They have since moved over to the Ipsos panel, which is the same panel used by Reuters.
It's awful, Peter.
It's not a good panel.
I'm sorry.
It's just true.
They're not all like internet or marketplaces, what we call them in this industry.
Not all marketplaces for online panels are created equal.
And Ipsos is not even among the top three.
So this idea... What do you say?
peter navarro
What is that term of art?
Panel.
What are you saying?
It's a bad panel.
What does that mean?
richard baris
Yeah, so there are, you know, we have different modes of collection to reach different people.
And, you know, going into this response bias, not everybody responds to the same mode of collection, like collecting interviews on a cell phone live.
Not everyone responds to that particular mode.
At the same rate, and you can underrepresent certain groups.
The same thing goes for like IVR, interactive voice response.
You may be calling a landline with a pre-recorded line, what we called robopolls back in the day.
That's not, you know, that's not going to reach a representative group.
So you have to bring in a different mode, like an online panel, a marketplace, in order to find a more diverse and especially younger demographic to balance out how much older, you know, those landlines are going to be.
And I mean, we have metrics to measure how the quality of these marketplaces.
peter navarro
OK, hold that thought.
Hold that thought.
We're going to come back to it on the break.
We are here with Richard Barris.
We'll go over that and then we'll get into your new poll results.
Peter Knavara, stay right here.
This is going to be good.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CC.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
peter navarro
All right, Peter Cane and Borrow in for Stephen K. Bannon.
We're talking with the great pollster Richard Beres.
Just to sum up before we go on to your results, what we have is ABC News, which is hosting the September 10th debate.
And they have a notorious history of skewing polls in favor of Democrats.
You can tell a dog by the fleas that they lay down with, and ABC News is in with the Washington Post.
Think about that.
And they acquired this thing called FiveThirtyEight, which is an aggregator of all polls.
So ABC News is using the FiveThirtyEight aggregator to create false impressions of momentum and Harris support that doesn't exist.
They got Ipsos basically replacing a guy who was giving them honest numbers because they didn't like the honest numbers.
Numbers and the Washington Post is hopelessly compromised as we know that.
So have I got that right, Richard?
Is that pretty much how that looks to you?
unidentified
100%.
richard baris
I mean, look, I mean, Peter, the 538 model never had Donald Trump as the favorite, even when Trump was ahead in every battleground state average and every national poll against Joe Biden.
They were the only forecast model on the Internet.
That's interesting.
had Biden as the favorite.
And again, they got rid of basically scrapped Gary Langer from Langer Research, which long
conducted the ABC News poll.
And now they're using Ipsos as an online panel.
Just to go back in time, Peter, here's some of the 2020 final polls from the Reuters poll,
which is also Ipsos.
All right.
And that's another thing they do, use the same data set with different organizations
to give you the impression that they're really different polling.
peter navarro
And it's interesting.
And it's not so they double count the they double count the aggregators then.
richard baris
I mean, basically, it's the same data set from the same panel.
I mean, and just during the same period.
I mean, it's crazy.
Yeah.
But here's Florida.
This is Ipsos Biden plus 450 to 46 Michigan Biden plus 1052 to 42 North Carolina Biden
plus 250 to 48 Wisconsin Biden plus 1053 to 43.
peter navarro
This is 2020.
richard baris
I mean, what else do I have to say?
Do I really have to write it?
peter navarro
Yeah, and to be clear, those are all states that Trump won.
unidentified
He either won or he came way closer than 10 points.
richard baris
Wisconsin was 0.6%, folks.
I mean, come on.
peter navarro
Yeah, come on, exactly.
All right, what do you got new for the posse here?
richard baris
Well, first and foremost, pay attention.
The new poll's coming out.
I can give you a little bit of a heads up on it, but I gave a graphic over to Denver so they can look and see, which I have kind of like teased before, but if we want to know how impactful the RFK vote is, We have to ask people, obviously, before the endorsement is conducted, right?
So we went in, everyone kind of knew this was coming.
We went in and we asked RFK's voters, you know, where would you go?
What would happen if RFK dropped out?
Organically, that top bar is the organic movement.
It would be about 42% of his voters who would go over to Donald Trump organically.
Only about a quarter would go over to Harris.
Now it's not only, but it's about a quarter and it's less.
Another 15% That's good.
basically did basically tell us that if RFK did endorse him and went out and supported
him, then they would also support Donald Trump.
unidentified
So now you're getting to the realm of 60% of his vote.
richard baris
The rest of that was up in the air wondering whether or not they would vote.
But they still the majority of that 12% still is even, they were still remain persuadable.
So and I don't mean persuadable that they could go over to Harris.
I mean, persuadable as if they would go over to Donald Trump.
So what we found our results, I did read a memo from the Trump campaign's pollster Tony
Fabrizio about where these voters are going in the battleground states.
And honestly, if you look and combine those numbers, it very much mirrors what Tony found.
Three weeks ago, before this man dropped out of the race, every election mafia fake and fake modeler and pundit and pollster were basically justifying their projections by saying, you know, RFK is going to hurt Trump in these states like Pennsylvania, and he's going to hurt him here and there.
Now that RFK is out, they're pretending, and I quote Larry Sabato over at Tiny Crystal Balls, they say that it's not, quote, significant.
In fact, it is the definition of statistically significant.
His support is larger than either one of their leads in any given battleground state.
And if Trump is going to take 60% of it, it's the ballgame.
In Arizona, for instance, it's about 40,000 votes.
Peter, that's it.
I mean, that's it.
peter navarro
So let me ask you this.
unidentified
It's a big deal and it is significant.
peter navarro
Tulsi Gabbard.
Does she have any kind of the same kind of visibility and or sway at all?
I mean she's the darling of the media in a way.
She was on the stage with The Boss last night.
Have you done any polling ever I mean, we haven't done anything recently on Tulsi, but this is what I would give people as a response to that.
richard baris
We had obviously polled the 2020 Democratic primary.
She was immensely popular, even though people were not going to vote for her, they still liked her.
It was only after, of course, You know, they went after her with, you know, you're a Russian agent.
She ended, if people forgot, I mean, it's worth reminding them, she ended Kamala Harris' run for president.
It was already very rocky and the campaign was in deep trouble because Kamala Harris couldn't manage a lemonade stand because that campaign was in shambles.
But Tulsi Gabbard got on that debate stage and ended her run with, you know, talking about prosecuting black and brown people at ridiculous rates for By the way, let me just interrupt you just one second.
Denver, Cameron, get me that clip before this show is over.
peter navarro
Let me just interrupt you just one second Denver Cameron give me that clip before this shows over go ahead Richard
richard baris
Brutal yeah, I want to see that yeah, okay. Yeah It affirmed what what I think she does and I gotta give him
credit Robert Vaughn's looking at the results of this poll we were talking, and he had said something that stuck with me, because I think he's 100% right.
You know, what Tulsi does, and what RFK does, is give this group of people that were, you know, difficult for Trump to get, but are on the left, but share more in common with Trump than the modern Democratic Party, because they're like neoliberals, and it's a breed of populism, even though it's on the left.
It gives them a political permission slip.
That's the phrase he used, and I thought it was 100% correct.
It gives them a political permission slip to vote for Trump.
And people, you know, affirmations matter.
And when you see Tulsi out there, and you're younger, you tilt to the left, but you're certainly populist in nature, below the age of 45 especially.
And you see Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy out there campaigning with Donald Trump.
It's going to have an impact.
peter navarro
It absolutely is.
Let me ask you one.
We just got a couple of minutes left.
I got an important question.
I was having a debate with one of the Trump pollster types.
And the conversation went like, the only thing that matters is economy and border, right?
And I said, well, what about communist China?
Don't people, particularly in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, understand that the
economy is in the tank in large part because of communist China?
So what would be your advice?
Is like China not an issue anymore?
Or can you link that as an as an inferred variable to the economics?
I mean, look, am I right?
Who knows?
richard baris
I don't know that you could ever take China off the table as an issue because especially in the Midwest, China is everyone's And I'm not saying they're not wrong, so let me just say that.
But China is everyone's poster child bad boy for when we're talking about trade and like who got the wealth in this country from trade.
Everyone in Pennsylvania, everyone in Wisconsin, everyone in Michigan knows that China was the recipient, the benefit of these bad trade deals.
So, I mean, you could always throw China in there as because they're going to be their target.
Look, if you were playing darts and there was a picture of somebody on the dart board in the Midwest, it's China, you know?
I don't think I would leave trade off the table.
That was always such a powerful message for him.
That is why those Bernie voters voted for him.
Trade and immigration together is the economy.
peter navarro
But can you loop communist China into the reason why we're having a failure on the economy?
It's like somebody in Pennsylvania, when they say the economy is my issue, do they also generally know that it's China the problem and that if you got soft people on China, the economy is going to be down?
Is that too big a lift to do in a message?
richard baris
No, I mean, this is how this is what I would limit it to.
And I don't know why it doesn't do this.
But I mean, I would have framed it as, you know, we were so close with China renegotiating, they were in phase two, Pete, I don't have to tell you.
They were in phase two.
I would have told I mean, I would be telling the American people they robbed you.
They robbed you because they are beholden to them.
And this would have gotten on, you know, we could have straightened this out.
I mean, obviously you're not going to say it like this, but you know, if they did not rob you of your second term, then this would have been dealt with and we would have been able to take that wealth back.
That's how I would tell these people that.
Okay.
And unfortunately, in 2020, that message that got him elected, it did.
unidentified
Yeah.
richard baris
Got lost in the sauce, Peter, it did.
Got lost in the sauce in 2020.
peter navarro
Yeah, well, that grieved me.
I had a few things to say about that, but all right.
Let folks know how they can get in touch with you, sir, and you know it's always a pleasure to have you on.
Always enlightening for the posse.
Tell us how we can be.
richard baris
It's an honor to be here, as always.
Best places on Locals, peoplespundit.locals.com.
After the War Room, Inside the Numbers is coming up, and we're going to look at the... I'm going to show people the polling response bias.
I'm going to open up the back of the software and show them what's going on.
Thanks for having me, as always, brother.
peter navarro
You pay attention to Richard Beres.
He's the truth.
Peter K. Navarro, when we come back, I am going to deliver on my promise to explain why Stephen K. Bannon may well be back at this microphone.
Before Election Day, as he should be.
Be right back.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
you you
peter navarro
Peter K. Navarro here, and I'm going to deliver now on my promise To explain why Steve Bannon should get out of prison, forthwith, be at this microphone, and as the premier political strategist in this country, he should be allowed to participate in what is the most important election of our lifetime.
So here's the deal.
When Steve and I were both convicted by a woke D.C.
jury after we were stripped of any possible defense of contempt of Congress.
Each of us was sentenced to four months in prison.
When Steve was convicted, his judge, Judge Nichols, allowed him to remain out of prison Release pending appeal.
Whereas my judge, Judge Ahmed Mehta, did not do that.
Scurrilously, by the way.
It's shameful what that man did.
Ahmed Mehta.
Remember that name.
Because he's going to screw Trump before November, I guarantee that.
So anyway, when Steve lost his appeal, At the appeals court in DC, it goes district court, appeals court, and then the Supreme Court.
The government, Biden weaponized government, petitioned for Steve to go directly to prison and end his release pending appeal, even though the appeal still had to go to the Supreme Court.
And, uh, Judge Nichols granted the government's motion and put Steve in Danbury prison.
Now, what's interesting about that is that when Judge Nichols made that decision, he apparently was unaware And he couldn't have known it at that point that one of the judges on the appeals court would subsequently write a dissent to the appeals court decision to send Bannon to prison.
Judge Walker.
What was important about that dissent is that it indicated right there by that dissent alone that there was a substantial issue over which there was disagreement on the court and therefore a substantial issue that might lead to in the appeal a release And a return either of a dismissal of the case or a retrial.
Okay, so let me say that again.
Judge Nichols makes the decision based on the government's motion to send Steve to prison.
Nichols revokes Steve's release, sends him to Danbury.
Judge Walker subsequently issues his dissent of the appeal decision to deny Steve his freedom.
And what that indicates from that dissent is, yes indeed, there are substantial issues in this case.
And that fact alone is why normally a defendant in a case after conviction is able to stay out of prison until the full appeal is heard.
Okay.
And in fact, that's the norm.
That's why Judge Nichols decided initially to allow Steve to stay out.
As his case went through the appeals process.
It's inexplicable to me why Judge Nichols didn't allow that to go forward all the way up to the Supreme Court because Steve hasn't gotten there yet.
But be that as it may, Judge Nichols now has important new information in the form of Judge Walker's dissent.
That indicates that Steve has the firmest of grounds to be released immediately.
Full stop.
And if you read the motion, which apparently these reporters out there don't do, I mean it's just so discouraging how bad the legal reporting is for Steve in my case.
These people are lazy and stupid and they don't understand The law and they jump to conclusions as quickly as they can to verify whatever narrative they have about whatever is going on.
When in fact, these are important constitutional issues that Steve's case and my case raise that are historical in nature.
I mean, mine is a landmark case and what these reporters missed in the filing that Steve made Was the fact that Judge Walker himself has a very, very good track record.
When he dissents in a case, down the road, things get overturned.
Let me say that again.
When Judge Walker dissents, he has a very good track record of having the case go the way he thought it should have gone and against the way the D.C.
Appeals Court said it would.
And the problem, of course, With the DC appeals court is that it's it's totally out of sync with the Supreme Court because of its extreme ideology.
It's it's primarily a Democrat appeals court and you're getting liberal anti-Trump type decisions out of there which up the line don't Last, when they get up to a more reasoned court.
So that's the first reason.
Let me summarize it again for you pinheads in journalism who don't get it.
If there's a substantial issue in a case like there is in Steve Bannon's, and mine by the way, related in this case to the constitutional separation of powers and whether a case called Licavoli should be a binding precedent, it should not, then Steve should be released pending appeal until that goes all the way up and through the Supreme Court.
And Judge Nichols may be forgiven for putting Steve back in jail, because at the time Judge Walker hadn't issued that dissent, but now that the dissent is there, and because Judge Walker has a very good track record in being right on these things, there's a good case for Judge Nichols that Steve Bannon should be out immediately again, released pending appeal.
Alright, that's number one.
Now number two is the one That hits the closest home to me based on my own personal experience.
So, I was held in contempt by a Democrat Congress, put in prosecution and indictment by a Democrat Attorney General, Merrick Garland, and I was stripped of every possible defense by Judge Amit Mehta.
Based on this Liccavoli decision, before I was sent to a D.C.
jury which was drawn from a jury pool that 95% voted for Joe Biden.
I didn't have a prayer in the friggin' world.
Okay?
But my case is, because it's moving up the chain through appeals court and eventually to the Supreme Court, my case is like the purest case of a senior presidential advisor Upholding the doctrine of executive privilege of George Washington to preserve and defend the constitutional separation of powers.
I was the only guy ever charged with this crime as a senior presidential advisor in the White House at the time of the events.
Eric Holder is held in contempt.
They didn't prosecute him.
Merrick Garland right now has a contempt charge.
They're not going to prosecute him.
I'm the only guy.
There's obviously huge, huge constitutional separation of powers.
Does Congress have the authority to hold me in contempt and issue that kind of subpoena?
What constitutes a proper or formal invocation of privilege which was raised by Judge Amit Mehta?
Does the judge himself have the constitutional authority to raise that question?
I mean, there's no question in my case, they're very substantial issues in that Judge Amit Mehta should have released me pending appeal, but he did not do that.
I spent four months on a Miami vacation down there in a Joe Biden, Kamala Harris prison.
Shame on them.
I should have been released.
But even after I was sent there, and this is the important part, there's two pieces of landmark law.
The First Step Act, which President Trump put into place, and the Second Chance Act, which was a little earlier, that provides for sentence reductions once you're in the slammer, provided you engage in good conduct and programmed behavior to get you ready for the outside.
And the way the formulas work in a four-month sentence, okay?
I went in March 19th.
I came out July 17th.
The only guy in that prison to serve the full term of his sentence.
Only guy.
And I was the only guy with a misdemeanor.
Everybody else was a felon.
Think about it.
I'm the guy who served my whole term there.
Now what should have happened under the First Step Act and the Second Chance Act is I should have been released either to a halfway house or home confinement 42 days prior to July 17th when I was released.
And Steve is entitled to exactly, exactly the same relief under the law.
And the Bureau of Prisons will break the law.
If they do not allow Steve to go to home confinement 42 days earlier than his release date, which would allow him to get out in late September and get back to this microphone and participate in the 2024 election.
And that's the second reason that was part of the motion that Steve filed.
And if Steve stays in prison for the whole term, then for the second time in a row, Bureau of Prisons and the District Court will be breaking congressional law in the First Step Act and the Second Chance Act.
So on those two bases, there's a substantial issue.
In this case, he should be released pending appeal.
In the alternative, as they say in the law, Steve is entitled under the First Step Act and the Second Chance Act to release 42 days earlier to home confinement where he could easily, from the Breitbart Embassy, sit right at his microphone, drink his Warpath coffee, and make a difference in this 2024 election.
That's what should happen.
You need to cover this story.
Fox, you need to cover this story.
This is a big story.
I broke it here because those bastards won't.

What you got, Natalie?

Hi, Peter.
Happy to be here today.

Great.

So, um, you know, I'm glad you guys were talking about, you know, keeping yourself secure and not being, you know, tracked by government.
I'm sure most of you by now have heard about the massive data breach that compromised 2.7 billion people in America, personal records, including sensitive information like social security and addresses associated with those records.
This cyber attack puts millions, especially older Americans, at risk of things like identity theft and title fraud.
So today I just really want to talk about the importance of, you know, checking on your title and securing your assets.
Because as everyone here knows, here at Home Title Lock, we always say when it comes to title fraud, time is of the essence.
The longer the fraud goes unnoticed, the more damage can happen.
So, take for instance, there was this attorney from LA that didn't know her title had been compromised until She was getting ready to sell her house and the realtor did a title search for ownership confirmation and they actually had to stop the sale because they found out that her title had been transferred to a man that she'd never met.
So now on paper her home wasn't hers to sell.
And then when investigating how that happened, they actually found two other homeowners whose homes had also been transferred to the same man, all without them knowing, all right under their nose.
And none of them would have even known had this attorney not tried to sell her house.
So since then, all three homeowners have filed civil lawsuits against this man.
And despite the attorney getting the authorities involved and the man actually being charged with multiple felonies, this is the sad reality for the homeowners.
Two of the civil cases to get the title back in the homeowner's name are still pending, and one has gone through.
So one title has been restored.
We're assuming it's the attorney, but we couldn't find the record of that.
But all I know is this, the law is not on the homeowner's side.

When the homeowner's an attorney.
