Speaker Time Text
nicolle wallace
Breaking this hour, the House Ethics Committee has ended its meeting to discuss its report on allegations of sex trafficking and drug use by Donald Trump's pick for Attorney General.
Firebrand Matt Gaetz, a figure who commands bipartisan hatred among some of his colleagues, but is liked by the one person who calls All of the shots in the Republican Party, Donald Trump.
The chair of the Ethics Committee tells reporters that there has been no agreement reached to release the report.
Hours before the meeting, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance today joined Matt Gaetz on Capitol Hill to lobby on behalf of Matt Gaetz, another sign that Team Trump is all-in in terms of getting Matt Gaetz confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Never mind the allegations of sex trafficking or drug use or his, quote, long history of trafficking and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
That is according to the Anti-Defamation League or even the lack of legal experience.
The action on Capitol Hill happening in the backdrop of a steady drip of revelations from that congressional investigation.
matt gaetz
It was more just the defeatism in his eyes and in his tone and it reminded me of like those George W. Bush years where there was just kind of an exasperation that we had to kind of surrender to the frame of the media or the powers that be and that we didn't have the ability to go and carve out our own destiny.
unidentified
And I saw that in him at the time.
We put forward arguments and affidavits and evidence.
mike davis
We showed him videos.
unidentified
We were in the cabinet room meeting with Mike Pence in the days leading up to January 6th.
matt gaetz
And I left quite disappointed that he was not motivated by our argument.
nicolle wallace
Just a quick fact check, David Dolly.
There was no evidence.
There were arguments, but there was no evidence presented to Mike Pence of fraud, which is why Mike Pence did not vote to overturn the election.
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've got a free shot of all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
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.

War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Wednesday, 20 November, Year of Our Lord, 2024.
Okay, absolute fracas on Capitol Hill.
Two huge battles going on simultaneously in the Senate.
It's the judges and Mike Davis.
I think we might have some good news to report.
Mike Davis is going to join us at the bottom of the hour to go through it.
Natalie's going to be with us on all things Ukraine and Ukraine.
Also, the resistance.
Nigel Farage is going to join us at 6.
Ben Harnwell.
A lot of things going on in Ukraine.
They're trying to escalate this war into a very dangerous area and try to jam up President Trump.
Right there with Matt Gaetz.
Matt, the committee, the ethics committee decided not to put out the ethics report.
I think they're saying it's not finished.
What is quite evident in one of the hurdles they can't get over, you heard Senator Tuberville today, the Justice Department, and I think a U.S. attorney looked at this in a lot of detail.
And over at Justice, the public officials' corruption, I think, area looked at this in detail and never brought charges.
So that's a big hurdle.
As Tuberville said, hey, it's not criminal activity.
If he didn't commit any crimes and they dropped the investigation and never did any crimes front, tell me what the big deal is and just go forward.
When I talk about wave after wave after wave of flood the zone, we flood the zone first with these amazing announcements for the leadership of this.
Then we came in for the second The second wave, and the second wave I think should have Cash Patel and maybe some other people associated with that, maybe OMB, maybe Cash Patel.
I think that could happen.
Maybe additional people at DOJ, that could happen here momentarily, if not tonight or this evening, maybe tomorrow.
Then the two other tranches, one is around January 4th or 5th.
When the confirmation process, I strongly recommend, and they all come up together, flood the zone again.
Senator Tuberville said, we're working on that.
We want to do around the 5th or 6th.
I think Aaron Rupert tweeted that out today.
Heads are blowing up.
Senator Tuberville also said, hey, if they can't do it through that method, they're definitely going to, you know, and I think he implied that Dune had made a commitment to the president.
To make sure the president backed off on Thune's election to be the leader, Senate leader, that they're going to use some sort of recess appointment, which Senator Tuberville said many people in the Senate think is absolutely justified.
So, huge fight on that.
So, you have now the flood, the zone, then you have in early January, the confirmation itself, and then on the 20th of January, just hit it, boom.
Executive orders, restructurings of the government, Doge unleashed And also the permanent budget for next year.
Looks like they're going to take a CR for 90 days, let President Trump and his team, and my recommendation is merge the appropriations process with what Vivek and Elon are working on over at Doge.
So a lot going on here.
We've got a lot to get to tonight.
One of the things that's happening is the mantra is Trump didn't have a mandate.
Trump's below 50 percent.
And I think there's still, believe it or not, two million votes that haven't been counted.
I don't know if these are overseas votes, what Cleta Mitchell was complaining about when she was here last night.
There's something going on.
What I want to do is play a second cold open for our guests.
We have the one and only Scott Pressler who's going to join us.
There's something rotten in Pennsylvania.
There's something really rotten in California.
We've got to get to the bottom of this because they're trying to steal a couple of House seats.
They may try to steal a Senate seat, and they're trying to get President Trump Under 50% to say, well, he won the proper vote, but he didn't get a mandate.
Let's go ahead and play the introduction to the one and only Scott Pressler.
scott presler
Good morning.
Bucks County has been in the news a lot this year.
Earlier, we flipped Bucks County from blue to red, and for the first time in modern history, there are more registered Republicans than Democrats here in this county.
unidentified
Thank you.
scott presler
Number two, voters were disenfranchised in this county.
And in fact, I want to thank Chairman Michael Watley of the RNC and co-chair Laura Trump for suing to make sure that we have three additional days of early in-person voting because voters waiting in line to do in-person, on-demand mail-in voting were told that they couldn't vote until five o'clock, that the line was cut off.
So thank you to the Republican Party for suing Bucks County and fighting for election integrity.
And now, here before us, it's on the world stage that we have a commissioner, quote, by Diane Marsiglia,"...precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country." People violate laws any time they want.
And if I, meaning Diane Marsiglia, violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it.
Well, Commissioner, the court already ruled that undated and misseated mail-in ballots could not be counted.
You knew that going into the meeting.
And I want to congratulate the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
This speech I'm doing right now is going to be seen by millions across the country, the Commonwealth, and the world.
And I have a message.
Congratulations to President-elect Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America.
Congratulations to Senator-elect Dave McCormick, and we are not going to allow Democrats to steal this seat from us.
Furthermore, congratulations, because we defeated Matt Cartwright, giving President Trump an additional seat in Congress.
Congratulations to Congressman-Elect Rob Bresnahan.
Congratulations to Congressman-Elect Ryan McKenzie, defeating Democrat Susan Wilde in Allentown and Lehigh.
And I have a message.
Peacefully, peacefully, we are coming for your seat in 2027.
If you don't resign today, I am coming for your seat peacefully.
And Harvey, Commissioner Harvey, this goes for you too.
You are complicit.
Mark Elias and his cronies must be disbarred from practicing law in Pennsylvania, any of his cronies for the misconduct that they did.
I want you to know that I am going to spend all of my time in Bucks County for the next three years making sure that we take back this county.
Thank you to every single patriot that showed up today.
steve bannon
Wow, Scott Pressler, lighting them up there.
Scott, you can't spend all your time in Bucks County because you're going to be in the White House or over at DHS in charge of election integrity.
Tell me, what is going on in Pennsylvania?
Have we sorted out this problem because you're trying to steal a Senate seat, sir?
scott presler
Thank you, Steve.
Well, we showed up today because Bucks County was trying to continue counting ballots even if they were misdated, undated.
The Supreme Court already ruled that that was unlawful and the Supreme Court had to rule again that these counties must and shall comply.
Diane Marsiglia, the Democrat commissioner, has so embarrassed the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that she not only had a 5-2 Democrat Supreme Court rule against her, but even Democrat Governor Shapiro was forced to say that these counties must comply.
The fact of the matter is Is that Bob Casey doesn't have the votes and we have before us in January, Senator-elect Dave McCormick, we delivered the Senate seat to President Trump.
steve bannon
What is the...
Tell me, not just in Bucks County, why...
There are two million votes that have not been counted throughout the country.
They're trying to make a big deal that Trump's below 50%.
We've got a couple of House seats they're trying to steal in California.
People asking, what in the hell is going on?
The election was over two weeks ago, Scott.
Is Mark Elias and his crowd trying to steal a couple of House seats to make it like 218 right on the bubble and to drive President Trump under...
50% to say he does not have a mandate, sir?
scott presler
Well, it seems like they're trying to do that in states like California, you know, where I lost him.
steve bannon
Okay, fine.
Let's try to reboot him.
Okay, they're relentless.
You think we've got fights here on Capitol Hill?
And we have massive fights here on Capitol Hill.
Massive fights.
Davis is going to be here about the Senate fight.
Mark Paoletta has just put out a tweet about the impounding because they're trying to spend all cash going crazy.
This thing is out of control on Capitol Hill.
The Democrats, who believe so much in democracy, are trying to Trump-proof The federal government.
Natalie's going to join us.
We're going to punch through all that.
We'll get Scott back up when we get a chance.
But Scott Pressler up in Bucks County in market license is brazen.
They're counting every, you know, votes not dated, not signed.
It's the typical Democrats.
All votes must count.
All ballots must count.
No, just certifiable, chain of custody, legal from U.S. citizens.
Once you do that, Republicans win.
When you start counting the other ballots that are not chain of custody, legal, approved, certifiable, signatures, then the Democrats have a chance because they're just manufacturing ballots.
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
Times of Turbulence, our sponsor, Birch Gold, is there to help you, particularly with your IRA or 401Ks.
If you're lucky enough to have something put aside, you might want to talk to them, Philip Patrick and the team might want to talk to them about the different programs they have.
Particularly how precious metals can fit into your overall financial program and how it's been a hedge for times of financial turbulence for 5,000 years of man's recorded history.
That is birchgold.com slash banner.
You also pick up the end of the dollar empire totally free.
In addition, 80%, 90% of net worth of average Americans is tied up in their house if they're lucky enough to own it.
So the title to that house is kind of your ticket to retirement.
Don't let anybody get in and monetize your title.
Either cyber criminals or maybe somebody you know, former lawyer you had.
Hometitlelock.com.
Natalie Dominguez and the team over there, over at Home Title Lock, will get you up to speed on everything you need to know since somebody's not taking a second mortgage on your title, which you have to pay off because they don't want to hear your tale of woe, the hard money lenders, if somebody was to get control of your title.
HomeTitleLock.com.
Check it out today.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We've got Mike Davis, we have Natalie Winters, maybe Mark Paoletta.
On a Wednesday.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Van.
steve bannon
Scott, just in summary, where can people go?
I know we've got a terrible connection because you're out and about, I think, in rural Pennsylvania.
Where can people go to contact you to make sure they stay up to speed?
Because there's something very dark happening right now.
Now, they're still trying to steal a couple of House seats, which we can't afford to lose.
And they're trying to drive President Trump under under 50 percent.
So they say he doesn't have a mandate.
And it's stunning to me.
We have over two million votes that have not been counted to over two weeks after the election is over.
Scott Pressler.
scott presler
Well, you can send tips to us, earlyvoteaction.com.
My X is at Scott Pressler, P-R-E-S-1-S-L-E-R. My messages are open.
But we must also be forward-thinking, Steve.
In November of 2025, Three Democrat Supreme Court justices are up for retention, Steve.
My mission is to get people to vote no to these justices, which would cause special elections in 2027.
And if we play our cards right, we can remake the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania 5D to 2R to 5R to 2D before the next presidential election.
And so we are laser focused on election integrity going into the future.
steve bannon
Scott, thank you so much.
We're looking forward to having you back on.
You've been fighting the great fight.
And anything we can do to assist you in your fight against Mark Elias, the war room is all in, brother.
One thousand percent.
scott presler
Hey, thank you.
Take care.
steve bannon
Thanks, brother.
Boy, Scott Pressler threw down hard.
So we've got a lot going on, but we have a special crying jag on Morning Mika today, and I want to bring in Natalie Winters.
New York Magazine says she's a sunny blonde, but she's pretty tough.
Let's see what her response is to the crying jag on Morning Mika this morning.
Tears on Morning Mika.
Let's play it.
unidentified
I'm on my self-reflection tour.
Yes, and I like that better.
I just need to give you a little Know Your Value advice right now.
I don't want to hear the words, I'm sorry, ever again on your podcast, on your social, or on this show.
No, you have great insights, and you have a great knowledge, and there are things we all...
Are learning.
Yeah.
Okay, so continue.
By the way, that's how she starts all of her Know Your Value conferences.
So it's not about you.
She's always saying, don't say I'm sorry for doing what you're trying to do.
Right.
I have to say...
We're not here perfect.
The things you have suggested to me have actually always been right.
Always been right.
I'll take it.
Just let her say that and not you, sweetie.
Go ahead.
So I just wanted to sort of...
We are...
In it for four years, right?
This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint.
We need to protect norms and institutions and not focus on the aesthetic problems with Trumpism.
So the first time there was a lot of like, he uses vulgar language, he, you know, offended by things, and more to focus on the norms and institutions.
So is this damage, like the war on woke is vague, right?
The war on woke is vague.
You saw reporting that had these people, Trump voters, saying that Trump had defeated woke, right?
So that's vague.
But the structural things that Trump might do to try to fight woke could end up undermining democracy.
So I feel like more focused on democracy, democratic values, norms and institutions, the structures that keep America America, and less focused on the aesthetic problems of Trumpism.
steve bannon
Okay.
Norms and institutions, Natalie Winters.
They still don't get it, but I'll toss it.
First of all, she was crying.
She was weeping.
Mika gave her a shoulder to cry on.
You're terrific.
And then she gets into it.
Look, Molly, if this is what you're going to do for four years, you're going to get smoked worse than you just got smoked a couple of weeks ago.
This is kind of pathetic, Natalie Winters.
Your thoughts and observations, ma'am.
natalie winters
Well, I guess I'm going to say the word I'm not allowed to say.
I'm sorry to the audience that we played that.
What absolutely disgusting just dribble.
I know I'm the sunny blonde of War Room, but I think that makes Molly Jongfast what the crazy red or whatever hair situation is going on there.
Of Mourning Joe, and that's a pretty low bar.
It sort of gives crazy aunt vibes.
She gives Janet Yellen a run for her money.
But look, it's so funny, right, as they're having the back and forth about, you know, the war on wokeness, how it's so vague.
That right there is a perfect example, not just of the feminization of society more broadly, the tone policing.
It's really, I think, you're seeing this country turn into really a gynocracy, I think epitomized, right, by Kamala Harris.
But they're so out of touch.
And Steve, it goes back, I think, more substantively.
To what was outlined in that Vanity Fair piece, what was outlined by Alex Wagner, and the way that they're trying to interpret and triage their 2024 loss because it dictates their pathway, their battle plan going forward.
And I think they've realized that they have been forced into the corner with their backs against the wall of being the ones who have to defend the institutions.
And they're hanging on with really, I think, their dying breath of this concept of democracy, right?
All of the coalitions that are coming out To attack President Trump to really foment resistance, it's all democracy 2025, democracy alliance, democracy forward, right?
That's the kind of, I guess, favorite term go to word of this sort of new resistance type left.
But if they want to have a fight where they're the ones defending the FBI, CIA, DOJ, State Department, I almost feel bad for them, although I think anything, my biggest takeaway from that clip, is that Morning Joe and Morning Mika really shouldn't worry about going to trial for treason or anything like that, because I think the insanity defense would probably work out pretty well for them.
steve bannon
Talk to me another story that you're following, the situation in Ukraine.
I've got Nigel on at six.
To talk about this situation of this kind of metastasizing conflict, it looks like the Biden regime is in back of this, trying to have this war actually spread wider.
Although, a new poll out today, the Ukrainian people at 38%, they want this war over now.
They don't want to continue the war.
Only 38% support the war.
I think 52% want to end it now.
Natalie Winters, your thoughts?
natalie winters
Well, look, today the Biden regime was forced after a series of reports sort of unearthed what they've been trying to do, but they are now working overtime behind the scenes to forgive the loans that the United States gave to Ukraine, particularly those coming from the 2024 Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.
Now, it was Because at November 15th, that was the date where they could essentially delegate the powers to Secretary of State Blinken to begin that process of, like I said, forgiving $4.7 billion worth of aid to Ukraine.
But the State Department has only publicly come out about it.
Now, I believe Denver has the article, but I just want to show you the political warfare that's going on here, right?
Right.
It's not like they're sending Blinken or Biden, wherever he may be, down to the sticks to defend.
Right.
This loan forgiveness program, not for student loan forgiveness, not for anything here in the United States, but for Ukraine, because they know it's so politically unpopular.
So they're couching it.
You can see that very confusing headline under sections 507D and 508A.
Like I said, the State Department only being forced to sort of give clarifying statements on that today.
But I think that there's important takeaways here.
One is that everything that they're doing on Ukraine, they're essentially laying, I would argue, the tripwire for President Trump's third impeachment.
Whether it's foreign policy and Ukraine stuff, the mass deportations via DHS, that is what everything should be viewed as is what they're doing right now when it comes to the lawfare, right?
Assuming, they're hoping, they're working like you just went through with Scott Pressler.
I also think it's worth noting, too, Steve, that it was back in the Transition Integrity Project's 2020 playbook outlining what they thought the evil authoritarian Donald Trump would do in the transition period, and they accused him of potentially looking to, quote, spark a foreign adventure or have a sort of wag the dog type event by escalating foreign travel.
Conflicts abroad.
So as we always know, projection is essentially what they're always dealing in.
But this, of course, has to be linked to the broader landmines that they're now letting Ukraine use in addition to the long range missiles, which I think shouldn't be lost on anyone, Steve, that these are the policy proposals and positions that were advocated for and staunchly supported by none other than Ryan Routh, who tried to assassinate President Trump because he disagreed so much with him on his Ukraine policy.
And what you're seeing emanate right now out of the Biden regime and the State Department is frankly a continuation of the legacy of Trump's second assassin.
steve bannon
It's unbelievable.
Talk to me about the resistance.
We're going to have Mike Davis in a second about the judges.
Paoletta's going to be in here about impoundment, also about firing career guys over DOJ that don't get with the program, just like you've got to fire them at DOD. Updates today on the resistance.
I've heard a lot of these NGOs that some of the donors are getting quite concerned they're being outed by people like Natalie Winters.
Anything to report, ma'am?
natalie winters
Well, that's not misplaced concern at all, because we will continue to out them.
I do think it's interesting, right, that they all decided to meet in Washington, D.C. this week.
Well, what, Joe Biden is out of town, Kamala Harris is in Hawaii, because it shows you that they're the new apparatus, they're the backbone that represents the Democratic Party.
There's new reporting out today that Pierre Omidyar, behind Omidyar Network, and a lot of these sort of never-Trump applications, We're good to go.
But just remember, right, it's Alex Soros who's cheering on Joe Biden's, Joe Biden, I put that in quotes, decision to give Ukraine the ability to use long-range missiles.
They're all meeting in Washington, D.C. right now, plotting out the resistance.
And what, just a day later, you see them working to give loan forgiveness programs and give additional landmines to Ukraine?
So you can really see when you pull the curtain back who's running the show, and certainly not Joe Biden.
steve bannon
There are no coincidences, young lady.
Natalie, where's the social media?
How do people track you, get all your latest content?
natalie winters
Natalie G. Winters on all social media platforms and Black Friday at shesowright.co, not.com using code 47 for 47% off.
It's sort of like a loan forgiveness program in the style of Ukraine.
steve bannon
We're going to miss you tonight, but I know you're on Watchtown there in transition, so we really appreciate you, Natalie.
See you tomorrow.
natalie winters
Thank you.
steve bannon
Natalie Winters has got to watch down at Palm Beach as we report on all things transition.

So, Mike Davis, first off, what's the status of people taking this seriously?
Because Focahontas, Elizabeth Warren, is taking it very seriously.
They understand you've got to get these judges jammed through.
President Trump is taking it seriously.
He put out a true social saying, hey, all hands on deck, everybody back to D.C. I want to see everybody manned up on these votes.
What's the current status, the situation report, and are we making any progress in getting senators to the ramparts, sir?
mike davis
We are making progress, Steve.
Remember, the American people voted on November 5th in an overwhelming fashion for President Trump and Senate Republicans to appoint constitutionalist judges to the federal judiciary and to stop President Biden and Senate Democrats' radical left-wing judges from getting appointed to these lifetime positions.
And in this lame duck session, the Democrats are doing everything they can to jam through these radical left-wing judges.
These are the bottom of the barrel.
These are the worst of the worst radicals.
And so long as Senate Republicans show up To the Senate floor, use all the debate time, and be there for votes, we can stop these judges.
It is so critically important that Senate Republicans do this.
Not only show up, but force debate on these judicial nominees.
And the War Room Posse has lit a fire under these Senate Republicans' asses.
We've got their attention.
We've got them showing back up and doing their job, and we're going to start making serious progress.
We have a whole bunch of Biden Kamala judicial nominees who are, again, the bottom of the barrel.
They're going to get worse and worse and worse.
And this is why going to article3project.org, article3project.org, Take action.
And on the top right of that, take action page.
So you take action, you go to the top right, and it tells you to tell these, tell both of your home state senators to stop these lame duck, lifetime judicial confirmations of these bottom of the barrel judicial nominees.
They are the most radical of them all, so long as Senate Republicans show up Do their job.
Debate.
We're going to be able to stop these.
This is really important.
We're already seeing huge numbers through the Article III project of the War Room Posse who have gone through and made phone calls, sent emails, and posted on social media.
And this has really gotten their attention.
We did this with Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation.
We've done this with other matters.
This is very effective when the War Room Posse, the most powerful force on the right, Calls, emails, lights up on social media.
They're home state senators.
steve bannon
Real quickly, you were Gorsuch's guy, his clerk.
You helped get Gorsuch through.
You helped get Kavanaugh through.
You know how it is to Sherpa these Supreme Court guys through.
Gorsuch was the believer and the intellectual architect of the legal system.
To start to deconstruct the administrative state, led by the Chevron deference.
Talk to me just quickly.
Give me a minute on why these frontline, particularly the district court federal judges, are so important in our efforts to deconstruct the administrative state.
Why do we have to fight to keep these slots open for President Trump when he comes in, sir?
mike davis
These are critically important.
The Supreme Court only takes about 100 cases on its merits docket every year.
Everything else is decided by the lower federal courts.
The federal appellate courts, the circuit courts, are the last stop for more than 99%.
of federal appeals.
And these district court judges are so critically important in finding facts on these cases that put them in the right procedural vehicle for the appellate courts to rule the right way.
These federal judges are critically important, particularly the circuit court judges.
And this is why it's so important for the war room posse to light up their home state senators and tell them to show up And vote hell no on these bottom-of-the-barrel Biden radicals for these lifetime appointments to the federal bench.
There is nothing more important right now than stopping these judges.

Mark, so the three of us, Mark Paoletta was on the selection committee along with Stephen K.
I was the only non-lawyer.
You had Mike Pence, you had Paoletta, you had, of course, the great Dom McGann and Reince Priebus and myself that selected the first two.
Paoletta and then Mike Davis was the Sherpa that worked with Grassley and made sure they got through.
So this team knows how important, how tough it is to get judges through.
How important is it pay a letter for us to stop these bottom of the barrel Democrat judges they try to jam through on a lame duck, sir?
unidentified
Is he on mute?
Yeah.
steve bannon
Mark, pay a letter.
Can we unmute your...
I know this technology is kind of tough.
Let's get him sorted.
There we go.
There we go.
Pay a letter, you ready?
mark paoletta
Can you hear me?
steve bannon
I can hear you.
This is what happens when you hit the unmute button.
How important is us to stop these bottom-of-the-barrel Democrat judges?
They're trying to jam through on the lame duck.
mark paoletta
It's critically important.
These are lifetime appointments.
We've seen what the Democrats have done with these judges, their selections.
They are radical leftist progressives that will be there for a lifetime.
So, you know, everything to stop it.
And in fact, I think there's some legislation that's about, I think the Democrats had pushed it through thinking that Kamala Harris would be elected.
And I think there's 66 judgeships that are waiting with legislation.
If it gets through the House to add 66 more seats that President Trump could fill the majority of, I think.
So it's important to stop it right now and let the president kind of start with those vacancies.
If they don't confirm them, those will be open for President Trump to fill.
And then I think there's some bill with additional judges Should this be the number one priority of the guys in the Senate, men and women in the Senate right now, is to basically stop this, fight a rearguard action?
steve bannon
Is this their number one priority?
They should all be here for this.
I understand it may be inconvenient.
Maybe they think they're helping on transition, but that this is the most important work they could be doing right now?
mark paoletta
It is.
I mean, look at the judges that have engaged in lawfare against President Trump, right?
I mean, that's what's down the road with some of these judges that, you know, if we look back and say, oh, we could have stopped this particular judge from getting on the bench.
So, yes, I think they should make it the highest priority to stop these judges from getting confirmed.
steve bannon
So Payaletta, you know, people that know Mark, he's a fighter, but he's low-key.
He's not, you know, up in people's faces, like maybe some of the hair on fire folks here at the War Room.
Payaletta, there's two things.
I want to get to impoundment in a second, but brother, you've been lighting some folks up on social media and Twitter.
Talk to me about these lawyers at DOJ, but you're putting people on notice, right?
Why is Mark Paoletta a pretty even keel, what I call a steady Eddie?
You're worked up on this topic.
What is it and why are you firing warning shots right now?
mark paoletta
Yeah, you know, we did great things.
President Trump's first administration did great things, but we really battled the bureaucracy and the deep state, the swamp.
And it's only gotten worse.
And we saw, you know, from when we were in there, Steve, to watching what they did, you know, going after President Trump with all this lawfare.
But it was really also the You know, trying to stop the agenda being done and they took it as a badge of honor.
You know, there are some good career employees in the federal government.
I work with some of them, many of them.
But there are a lot of deep staters that think that it's the right thing to do to thwart the duly elected president's agenda because they don't like it, because they disagree with it, because they're left wing.
And I want to call this out because President Trump, in this election in particular, ran on an agenda.
It was overwhelmingly supported by the American people to get rid of this DEI garbage, which is unconstitutional, which is destructive, to deport millions of illegal aliens, starting with the criminals and rapists that are murdering and killing our people in the United States, as we just saw with this This illegal alien that was just sentenced to life in prison should be the death penalty.
And so all of these policies that the president wants to pursue, the federal government employees, the career people, should be all in.
And if they're not, they should leave or there should be serious action to fire them.
When they are not, everyone welcomes Input and expertise and stress testing your ideas, okay?
But once that decision is made and the president says, this is what we're doing, or the Attorney General says this is what we're doing, or the Secretary of Agriculture says this is what we're doing, those people need to get on board.
And it's actually subverting democracy for them to stand in the way and do things.
And you'll get these comments from the careers, right?
You see, there are some stories on this on one of my tweets that you're referencing.
I think on CNN, where they're saying, hey, we're career people.
We want to serve the president.
We've served Republicans and Democrats.
You know what they do?
They try and thwart the Republicans, okay, in many instances.
And I called out and pointed out two examples, okay, in the Department of Justice.
And just talking to some of my colleagues, former colleagues, about the times that they were at Justice.
One of them was when people were dying in the nursing homes in New York, right, under COVID. And we wanted to look at what Andrew Cuomo was doing.
The career people would not write a letter to New York asking for information on this while people were dying in those hospital rooms because of Cuomo's policies.
They wanted to protect him because he was the Democratic star.
He was the foil to President Trump.
So you know who wrote it?
The assistant attorney general for that division, the political appointee, the top person in the bureau in that division had to write something like that.
Same thing with The Civil Rights Division was investigating Yale University for what?
For discriminating against people on race in their admissions practices.
And they wanted to write to Yale, and they got the information showing that they were discriminating against people, okay?
This was ultimately ruled unconstitutional in the Harvard case a couple years later.
Which was brought by an outside law firm.
But the Department of Justice was coming after Yale.
And if the career people had not sort of sabotaged that investigation, they also refused to work on the work.
So you had to get the top political people and other people from the department to come in and work on those cases.
That is just insubordination.
That's what I want to call out.
I want to call attention to this thing that the president has every right to expect career employees to work on what he wants to get done.
steve bannon
Paoletta, hang on, we're taking a short commercial break.
We get Clark, we get Mark Paoletta.
Paoletta's coming with another tool in the toolbox for President Trump.
Impoundment.
What it means, how it's going to be used.
next in the war room.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K.
Babb.
Okay, Impoundment.
steve bannon
What is impoundment?
Why is it important?
Why is it a tool that President Trump, another tool in the toolbox for President Trump to get control of the administrative and deep state, sir?
unidentified
Okay.
mark paoletta
It's just him.
steve bannon
Okay, let's go ahead and drop it.
We have a problem with the link...
Over at CRA, and I tell you what, we'll get Mark tomorrow.
This is too important.
I don't want to jam this in.
This whole concept of impoundment.
So if we can put it up.
No, no.
Okay, stop.
I don't want to do it.
Let's take a deep breath.
Just get the impoundment story up.
If Grace and Mo can push out Payaletta's piece on impoundment, we will take it up tomorrow.
And here's what's happening.
Behind the scenes, There are people working on many different things.
You saw Jeff Clark working on this kind of alternative for the recess appointments, right, where the president actually may have the authority if the House goes out to force the Senate.
This impoundment situation, a lot of this is coming out of CRA. Of course, Russ, vote.
This afternoon, ABC News and CBS, I think, and Bloomberg.
Not saying it's a done deal, but we're talking about Russ may be selected in the next 24 hours to head OMB. We don't know that, but that's some of the reporting coming out of Mar-a-Lago.
CRA, which Russ runs, is also working on a lot of other things.
One is this whole situation of impoundment.
Remember, one night, appropriations is...
That bill is signed, and you look at programmatically, this is one of the things the DOGE guys will get their hands around.
This is why I kind of want to merge those processes so we don't have to do it over again.
They can kill it in the appropriations.
The appropriations is a ceiling.
It's not a floor, it's a ceiling.
You can't spend any more than that.
It's open a question of the president's executive authority to step in there and actually impound some of the money.
So this is going to be a big tool.
There's a lot of stuff going on.
Number one, you see the Commerce Secretary right now with some of these massive bills they passed for infrastructure and particularly on the CHIP side.
There's, you know, billions and billions and billions, tens of billions of dollars haven't been spent, maybe even hundreds of billions of dollars.
The question is, can you impound now?
What can you do?
How can you move quickly?
Because it's saying they're going to sweep all the cash.
Another of the big fights on Capitol Hill.
So, in summary, every aspect...
That they're trying to chop block from the financial side of kind of messing with the bond market and putting rumors out there that President Trump's supply side program is going to be inflationary to all the stories you're seeing now that the mass deportations is going to be inflationary because they're going to cut out all these illegal aliens that have undercut African Americans and Hispanics in the country.
In the wage market, this is why I'm saying broke, dismayed, and distrusting of Democrats right there.
The article in the New York Times lays out which our new coalition could be because these people have been broken by the Democratic Party and the Wall Street cartel bringing in cheap labor, mass amounts of cheap labor.
But everything's about it's going to be inflationary.
If you deport people, inflationary.
If you take them out, it's going to be a 1% hit to the growth of GDP. So you must keep the 10 to 15 million illegal aliens that are here.
If you do anything at all of trying to secure debt, it's going to be inflationary.
They're trying to Trump-proof the House.
They're trying to Trump-proof the front line.
As Natalie was talking about, these governors all funded by billionaires, these democratic alliances of these governors.
President Trump, they are trying to make sure this resistance...
Is focused on making sure President Trump cannot implement his plan that just on November 5th, the American people gave an overwhelming mandate.
What are they doing right now?
This is why we started the show with Pressler.
They're trying to drive the vote under 50%.
Say, well, he made one of the popular votes, but he doesn't have a mandate.
This is why they're trying to steal two House seats out in California that we have to get focused on.
I think both of those House seats, I think, are around 100 votes right now.
They're trying to steal them to try to get us down right to the bubble of 218 to 219.
And these bottom-of-the-barrel judges, they're trying to jam through all these judges.
So I realize maybe senators don't want to be here.
Maybe Braun's now, I don't know, the governor of Indiana, he don't want to be here.
It's all hands on deck.
The Warren Posse's working.
The cadre's working.
It's all hands on deck.
Every day.
So you have to have the stamina to do it.
Michael and Dale, people are going to need a great night's sleep, not a good night's sleep.
