| We'll say, Kristen Soltys-Anderson, I just want to put a flag in this moment because these nine individuals made it clear to Speaker Johnson, we can take you down. | ||

They sent a message, and the math does not get better from here. | |
| Note that there were at least two names that were mentioned who voted today who will likely not be part of the House of Representatives in just a couple of weeks. | ||
| Stefanik and Waltz. | ||
|

|
Because they have been nominated to important positions by Donald Trump. | |
| So this is just the beginning. | ||
| If this is supposed to be the easiest vote, it does not get easier from here. | ||
| I was about to say, this is the easiest vote. | ||
| And it really wasn't that easy today. | ||
| And so this does not bode well. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Then, on top of that, once the votes had already been cast, we now know that Trump called into the private meeting with these people who had voted against Johnson and had a conversation with them. | |
| Now, I spoke to Trump this morning, and he said he was all in on Johnson, that there was nobody waiting in the wings, that he believed that Johnson was the only person in Congress who could get the votes, and that's why he was supporting him. | ||
| Of course, obviously, as we know, Johnson has also been incredibly loyal to Donald Trump, which is something that he takes incredibly seriously. | ||
| mr. Norman Johnson mr. self is recorded as Donald's Mr. Self, Johnson. | ||
| Let's listen. | ||
| I see that gavel coming down. | ||

| Let's listen in. | ||

The tellers agree in their tallies that the total number of votes cast is 434, of which the Honorable Mike Johnson of the state of Louisiana of which the Honorable Mike Johnson of the state of Louisiana has received | |
| applause | ||
| The Honorable Hakim Raheem Jeffries of the State of New York has received 215. | ||
| And the Honorable Tom Emmer of the State of Minnesota has received one. | ||
| Therefore, the Honorable Mike Johnson of the State of Louisiana, having received a majority of the votes cast, is duly elected Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 119th Congress. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Well, the reservations are we spent close to $3 trillion last year with more Democrat votes than Republican votes. | ||
| We had multiple bills that were passed with a majority, lacking a majority of Republican votes. | ||
| We saw what unfolded with a promise to say that we would secure the Board of the United States before we funded Ukraine. | ||
| Those were all failures. | ||
| But that's looking in the rearview mirror. | ||
| Today's a new day. | ||
| It's 2025. The president asked us to get behind Mike Johnson. | ||
| We did. | ||
| It is now Mike Johnson's house to deliver. | ||
| It is now Mike Johnson's job to deliver on the president's agenda. | ||
| We will back him as long as we're delivering on that agenda. | ||
| And so that is what we need to do right now is come together to do that. | ||
| We've got to stop spending money we don't have and racking up deficits. | ||
| We've got to secure the border. | ||
| We've got to get rid of the bureaucrats. | ||
| We've got to make our country strong again. | ||
| There can't be no room for doubt here. | ||
| We've got to have leadership to get that done. | ||
| That's why today's vote, that's why there were nine people who withheld their votes. | ||
| It sends a message that we're going to be watching that. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|

|
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||

|
I know you don't like hearing that. | |
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||

It's going to happen. | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. | ||
| Friday 3, January, Year of Our Lord 2025. | ||
| The 119th Congress now has a speaker and is a business. | ||
| We told you this morning what to watch for. | ||
| Reconciliation and rules. | ||
| Reconciliation and rules. | ||
| Politico has a story about how this thing was flipped. | ||
| Talking to Norman and Colonel Self that talked to the president, what happened in the room, and guess what comes up? | ||
| Wait for it. | ||
| Reconciliation and rules. | ||
| Here's a quote. | ||
| That there was a lively debate. | ||
| Norman wanted transparency on the budget reconciliation process. | ||
| Supposedly he got those assurances from the president, which Republicans plan to use to pass ambitious legislation on the border, energy, and taxes. | ||
| Quote, we have got to make sure this Congress is as strong as possible when we go up against the Senate on the reconciliation package because there are debates on what the reconciliation package even looks like. | ||
| End quote. | ||
| Right now, they're debating the rules on the floor, and there's some very different rules than you all fought for two years ago in 2023. Congressman Chip Roy joins us. | ||
| Congressman, walk us through what exactly we thought we might come out of here with you, head of the Rules Committee, and some specific language about deficit reduction, about bringing programs through that were deficit neutral, didn't add to the debt, and had a reconciliation that didn't add to the debt, and had a reconciliation that was going to be one package on the border, and then later taxes. | ||
| Did any of that happen besides a gentleman's agreement that we're going to work together in reconciliation, sir? | ||
| Not to my full liking in terms of where I would have preferred to land the plane today. | ||
| Look. | ||
| Look... | ||
| What I said, and would you just play the clip, and I appreciate it, the clip on Fox, I won't repeat it. | ||
| That basically sums it up. | ||
| It is now Speaker Johnson's house to deliver. | ||
| I would have preferred to have had stronger guardrails around that. | ||
| I would have preferred to have a strong Rules Committee chairman. | ||
| I'd be humbled to have been considered for that. | ||
| But we need someone there that's the filter or the funnel to ensure that only good, solid, conservative things are getting to the floor and to make sure that everybody's voices can be heard with amendments and so forth. | ||
| And then on reconciliation. | ||
| We need to get a strong commitment out of the Speaker and generally about that it's going to be a process that yields deficit reductions, that we're going to be smart about getting spending down using the reconciliation process. | ||
| And then, yes, whatever the right process is, I'm in favor of the two-bill approach. | ||
| There's been some different opinions on that coming out of the transition team. | ||
| I can go either way, but I prefer the two-bill approach, get border done, move forward quickly, and then figure out how we manage getting a good package on spending and taxes. | ||
| But I'll do whatever we need to do to work with the president's team to deliver. | ||
| But my message today is just we are where we are. | ||
| I'm going to go talk to some of my colleagues here in a minute. | ||
| I'm looking up at the TV of my colleagues on the floor about where we are in the rules package. | ||
| There's now an increase in the motion to vacate to nine. | ||
| Some of my conservative colleagues kind of worked an agreement to prevent the moderates from wanting to have, you know, votes where they would try to target us if we vote against rules and so forth. | ||
| Those were pushed aside in an agreement to raise the motion to vacate to nine. | ||
| I would have probably just stuck with one and said, if you want to come after me, come after me. | ||
| But, you know, you've got to figure out how to navigate all the votes. | ||
| So, long-winded story. | ||
| We need to fight now to see what's going to happen to this rules package. | ||
| I've got to go down the floor and see. | ||
| And then immediately we've got to get busy demanding that the reconciliation package reflects what we elected in November the president to do and us. | ||
| There's been something that happened between November and today. | ||
| I just want to make sure that we're on the record and people remember this conversation. | ||
| President Trump wanted Johnson, fought for Johnson, said Johnson was the only guy who could do this. | ||
| Maybe that's correct. | ||
| Emmers didn't really step into the breach. | ||
| Jordan didn't step into the breach. | ||
| There was a total lack. | ||
| Byron Donaldson didn't step into the breach. | ||
| There were a host of maybe potential alternatives. | ||
| None of them seemed to want it. | ||
| President Trump wanted to get this over with, get it done, get certified on Monday. | ||
| But what happened between November and today is that Johnson and his team, the exact same team, delivered a 1,500-page negotiated deal with Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| And it had $400 or $500 billion of regular spending for the CR and had another couple of hundred billion dollars not offset. | ||
| It was a $700, $800 billion package. | ||
| And he whined at the time, but we have divided government, then he used Democrats. | ||
| Tell me, coming out of today, what assurances, what guarantees, what's on paper that gets us anywhere where we weren't with the CR two weeks ago, sir? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| And that was problematic and disturbing to me. | ||
| At this point, I'm making a leap of faith so that I can move alongside the president and the president's desire to stick with Speaker Johnson. | ||
| But I'll tell you, the one difference is, and the speaker knows this, and in my messaging today, I've been pretty clear. | ||
| You saw the vote today. | ||
| What was the final vote? | ||
| 218 to 215 to 1, I think. | ||
| Michael Waltz and Elise are going to be gone pretty soon. | ||
| And then there'll be elections and we'll have some back and Matt Gaetz will get replaced. | ||
| But it is a very thin majority. | ||
| I can assure you that every vote is going to be scoured and looked at and that we're going to be watching it like a hawk with respect to how we're moving stuff forward. | ||
| There will be no more 1,500-page bills. | ||
| There will be no more of that. | ||
| Or there will be, you know, we will use the tools at our disposal to stop it. | ||
| But I'm going to give, I'm going to start afresh. | ||
| And give the speaker room to deliver. | ||
| But we're going to have to hold them accountable. | ||
| Because what you just said is correct. | ||
| What happened the week before Christmas is unforgivable and can never happen again. | ||
| It was absurd. | ||
| We got a 1,500-page bill negotiated with the Four Corners with Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, dropped on us. | ||
| We had a couple of days to look at it, broke the 72-hour rule. | ||
| Then we all look at it and say, hey, this is garbage. | ||
| There were some good things that got cut, but a lot of bad things. | ||
| And then, obviously, Elon and Vivek and everybody started hitting it, you guys. | ||
| And everybody said, hey, this is garbage. | ||
| Okay, great. | ||
| We killed that. | ||
| Well, then the president was clear, I want the debt ceiling. | ||
| Okay, you want the debt ceiling clear, but we only had 48 hours. | ||
| Well, what I've been telling the speaker is, you can't leave that sitting on us in our lap. | ||
| You've got to be clear that there's a large block of conservatives who are never going to just agree to raise the debt ceiling $5 trillion without spending cuts. | ||
| And that's not an affront to the president. | ||
| It's just a reality of those of us who recognize we've got to constrain spending. | ||
| So we want to be able to work with the president. | ||
| What the speaker did that week was set up a division that didn't need to occur. | ||
| We didn't need to have that vote that Thursday night where we ended up with more Democrats voting for it and 38 Republicans voting no. | ||
| That should never have happened. | ||
| So we've made that clear to the speaker. | ||
| He has apologized for that to us. | ||
| And so now we're going to have to get busy. | ||
| And, you know, once we start meeting tomorrow, we're going to talk about our reconciliation plans. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| But I can promise you that there's a block of us, and we've tried to send that message as best as we could today. | ||
| But you talk about no big bills. | ||
| You're going to be at Fort Maynard tomorrow, and sometime in the morning you're going to hear that we want one reconciliation, which is a nom of us. | ||
| And we'll have it to you guys by March. | ||
| Instead of having a border reconciliation and energy on the president's desk by the afternoon of the 20th or the 21st. | ||
| How is this audience supposed to react? | ||
| Because it's not going to react well. | ||
| The two reconciliations where it's absolute clarity on deportations, border security, and energy, which is the underpinning of the Trump economic plan, is what people are focused on. | ||
| If tomorrow in Fort McNair... | ||
| By noon, when you start talking to reconciliation, you get Jason Smith and those guys up there doing the three-card money because they want to hide what's really in the tax part. | ||
| Where are we going to be, sir? | ||
| So, my preference was, and I've been public about this, was two bills to do exactly what you just said. | ||
| I want border security. | ||
| I want energy. | ||
| Let's reverse all the Biden crap. | ||
| Let's bank some wins. | ||
| Let's bank some savings. | ||
| And then use that to leverage and set up whatever we need to do on the overall mandatory spending cuts. | ||
| That is, you know, reforming Medicaid and cutting SNAP and all that in exchange for what we're doing with respect to the tax relief. | ||
| And put that in a package. | ||
| But now it looks like there might be a single bill approach. | ||
| My standards are still going to be the same. | ||
| There must be deficit neutrality. | ||
| The border must get done. | ||
| And it shouldn't take until May, June, July, right? | ||
| Which is what they're risking doing by putting it in one package. | ||
| I told the president not to get into too many private conversations on it. | ||
| I don't want to do that. | ||
| But I think it's fair to say I told the president broadly, look, I think we should get in the room and figure out what we can deliver immediately. | ||
| Do that. | ||
| Whatever that is, starting with border. | ||
| And if there's a number of things we can peel off and get in that package that we can get unanimity in and get across the finish line, fine. | ||
| I don't care if that gets bigger as long as they're good policies. | ||
| But don't delay it. | ||
| Let's just work on it right now and start with border and get what needs to get done. | ||
|

|
Yeah, perfect. | |
| Great mind saying, like, Chip, I know you've got a bounce. | ||
| You've got another radio interview. | ||
| Can you give us your social media so folks can follow you? | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Chip Roy, T-X, C-H-I-P-R-O-Y-T-X. That's my private, you know, X account. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| You guys are right. | ||
| We need to hold the speaker accountable, and that needs to start right now. | ||
| We will. | ||
| We will, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
| Kristen Soltys-Anderson, I just want to put a flag in this moment because these nine individuals made it clear to Speaker Johnson, we can take you down. | ||
|

|
They sent a message, and the math does not get better from here. | |
| Note that there were at least two names that were mentioned who voted today who will likely not be part of the House of Representatives in just a couple of weeks. | ||
| Stefanik and Waltz. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because they have been nominated to important positions by Donald Trump. | |
| So this is... | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We can take you down. | ||
| President Trump got the speaker he wanted. | ||
| He's going to get certified. | ||
| They're going to still try to chop block. | ||
| There's a big fight about rules right now. | ||
| Some of these rules are just not, I think, not acceptable. | ||
| Like nine to vacate the chair. | ||
| And some of that was done for air cover for the Freedom Caucus about people coming after him. | ||
| They didn't vote for the rules. | ||
| So pretty nasty over there right now. | ||
| But hey, to be expected. | ||
| This is all about assisting the president to make sure he gets the economic plan. | ||
| He wants and he needs. | ||
| That being said, you know, we got $36, $37 trillion in debt. | ||
| We got a bond market that's getting close to a revolt. | ||
| That's one of the reasons we keep telling you to go to birchgold.com and check it out. | ||
| Talk to Philip Patrick team. | ||
| I talked to Philip today. | ||
| Make sure you make contact. | ||
| They're all back from the holidays. | ||
| Make sure you make contact with Philip Patrick team. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| End of the dollar empire. | ||
| Modern monetary theory. | ||
| Does that sound exciting or boring to you? | ||
| It sounds exciting to me. | ||
| It'll be exciting when you read it. | ||
| Because then you'll say, hey, I'm a lot smarter. | ||
| I know what these guys are talking about. | ||
| The idea that broke the world. | ||
| And once you read it and think about the other six, five free installments that we've given you to explain the world of over leverage and debt and how it can crush a country's future and the sovereignty of its people. | ||
| We're going to have a lot of wood to chop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One thing I will commit to you. | |
| Is you're going to get it with the bark on, as this audience demands. | ||
| You're the cadre, the vanguard of the vanguard, and we've got some very tough days ahead. | ||
| We just do. | ||
| Because, like I said, the alternatives and opportunities for the United States are narrower and narrower and narrower as you have these massive budget deficits and this kind of infrastructure in this administrative state and the debt all rolled together. | ||
| So, and the first thing, no more gimmicks. | ||
| Somebody has to explain to me, So I understand it. | ||
| Why one reconciliation bill is better than two? | ||
| Not buying that. | ||
| Feels got to feel like it's an omnibus. | ||
| Feels like it's going to be 9,000 pages long, all kind of stuff stuffed in there. | ||
| Two reconciliation bill, and this is what I just read to you, Politico. | ||
| What was that fight about? | ||
| I told you this morning exactly what that fight was going to be about. | ||
| Because I know Colonel Self and I know Ralph Norman. | ||
| And they are budget hawks. | ||
| As soon as their name popped up, and you had the other nine in reserve right there, and you had the Eli Cranes and the MTGs, even those guys are jiggy on Johnson, weren't even included in the other six. | ||
| Massey and Self and Norman, and obviously this audience doesn't agree with all of it, Norman was a Nikki Haley person, never really cottoned to President Trump. | ||
| He's a supporter for President Trump sometime, but he's a deficit hawk. | ||
| A lot of this is going to get down to money. | ||
| And that's what I'm saying. | ||
| Take some wins. | ||
| Let's do the border. | ||
| Let's do immigration. | ||
| Let's do the wall. | ||
| Let's do what was promised as the number one responsibility on this. | ||
| Do that package. | ||
| Do it quickly so it can be seen, understood. | ||
| Throw in energy so you unlock, which is the underpinning of your economic plan anyway, energy. | ||
| Throw in maybe some national defense and get on with it. | ||
| Give me 100 executive orders and get on with it. | ||
| Do not wait. | ||
| And let these tax people and ways and means and everything, because hey, they're owned by the lobbyists. | ||
| Jason Smith and that crowd over there are owned by the lobbyists. | ||
| They're owned by the big corporations. | ||
| They're owned by the wealthy. | ||
| There's a new day dawning. | ||
| The coalition here, we're working class people. | ||
| And I know they're spending all their time writing that part of the bill where it's no taxes on Social Security. | ||
| I know they're spending all their time over there writing it where there's no taxes on overtime or no taxes on tips. | ||
| I know they're burning the midnight all over there. | ||
| And that's why they want to do it. | ||
| Call me skeptical on that. | ||
| We've got to get on it. | ||
| We need a win. | ||
| We need a win on the border. | ||
| Two bills, not one. | ||
| We'll see you tomorrow. | ||
| You're going to see the big reveal tomorrow. | ||
| Fort McNair, they're going to reveal. | ||
| We're going to cover it wall-to-wall. | ||
| We've got people in there. | ||
| We've got folks looking at it. | ||
| I'm going to tell you what the presentations are. | ||
| Can't hide from the war room. | ||
| The war room's got the evil eye on it. | ||
| Because, folks, we don't have time to mess around. | ||
| This has all got to be done. | ||
| Whether it's investigation on January 6th, whether it's the tax bill, the nonsense on these immigration visas, it's all got to be open. | ||
| Let's trust American citizens. | ||
| They got a lot of common sense. | ||
| Hell, they back President Trump. | ||
| They got all the common sense I think they need. | ||
| The more they know, the more they're MAGA. So let's give them as much information as we possibly can, like everything. | ||
| Nothing in dark. | ||
| Nothing in closed rooms. | ||
| Nothing in smoke-filled rooms with the cartel. | ||
| Cutting big tax deals. | ||
| We're going to have some ugly days ahead of us. | ||
| Just take your number two pencil and write that one down. | ||
| Talk about another beauty. | ||
| I've got Mike Davis right off the slopes. | ||
| But Mike, I've got a cold open for you, brother. | ||
| Thank you so much for taking away some time and joining us today. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| President Mershon and that crazy crowd up in New York are maniacally possessed by our president. | ||
| Let's play the cold open and bring Davis in. | ||
|

|
Garrett, we have you. | |
| I understand you've just read in on this. | ||
| January 10, that is one week from today. | ||
| It is 10 days prior to inauguration. | ||
| But give me a sense of what Judge Juan Mershon here in New York has suggested will happen on January 10. Well, just reviewing this 18-page filing from Judge Mershon here, who was basically asked to answer the question of whether Donald Trump's winning the presidential election sort of provides him any additional immunity from prosecution or from sentencing in a case in which he was already convicted by a jury. | ||
| Remember, also, over the summer, there was the question of the expanded idea of presidential immunity after the Supreme Court had ruled with a much more expansive view of what activities of a president would create some form of immunity. | ||
| Judge Mershon goes through the facts of the case, his view of the arguments of both of these questions, and concludes that Donald Trump, as he exists right now, still a private citizen, is not immune from being sentenced in this case in New York City, for which he was already convicted. | ||
| And, as you just reported, Alex, orders him to appear either in person or virtually next Friday morning at 9.30 to be sentenced. | ||
| He has to answer whether that appearance will be in person or virtually by the 5th. | ||
| That's this Sunday. | ||
| I'm out to the Trump transition team to see if they have any response to this. | ||
| As you all and all of our viewers know, Trump has excoriated the prosecutor in Manhattan, the judge in this case. | ||
| He believes this is a witch hunt. | ||
| He believes an unfair prosecution, something that he thinks needs to be cleared off his plate to best do his job as president. | ||
| Clearly, Judge Mershon disagrees. | ||
| But what form of sentencing, what might be appropriate here? | ||
| I think our questions better suited for legal analysts and there will be lots of time to discuss them over the next week, which will also involve Trump coming here to Washington to attend the state funeral for Jimmy Carter. | ||
| So a very busy and complex week ahead for the president elect. | ||
| We'll be asking questions. | ||
| I know you are as well. | ||
| What stood out to you? | ||
| Well, I think that our viewers should understand that Donald Trump had made a motion saying that because of presidential temporary immunity, when he will serve as president, that that meant that he, during this time when he will serve as president, that that meant that he, during this time of his president elect, he should not be sentenced, nor during the time that he is president, So in other words, this should be... | ||
| Kicked down the road for over four years. | ||
| He also said that the case should be dismissed as a result of this temporary immunity that a president enjoyed. | ||
| The DA opposed that. | ||
| And so here, Judge Marchand is saying, you know what, you're just like anyone else. | ||
| There is a unanimous jury in a criminal case that... | ||
| Found, as you said, Alicia, 34 felony counts, which is remarkable that we're going to have the president-elect potentially being sentenced. | ||
| One final note, Alicia, is that Donald Trump still has some moves to play because he can seek An appeal right now or a writ of mandamus to try and prevent the sentencing from going forward. | ||
| That would be extremely unusual, but nothing about this case or any of Donald Trump's criminal cases is at all usual. | ||
| So we should expect some sort of effort by the president-elect to forestall a January 10th sentencing. | ||
| That is future inmate Weissman of a federal prison eventually. | ||
| We're going to get you, Weissman. | ||
| Take that to the bank, sir. | ||
| Mike Davis, your thoughts? | ||
| They're obsessed with President Trump and obsessed with getting this verdict on President Trump from the insane Judge Mershon, sir. | ||
| Yeah, so you have this Democrats-Manhattan Judge Juan Mershon who donated to Trump's political opponents. | ||
| Whose adult daughter, Lauren Mershon, is making money off of this case through her fundraising and whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris' campaign. | ||
| That requires Mershon's recusal from this case. | ||
| But he has been hell bent to get Trump on these bogus charges brought by this Soros funded Manhattan D.A., Alvin Bragg, along with Matthew Colangelo, who got deployed from the Biden Justice Department to bring this unprecedented who got deployed from the Biden Justice Department to bring this unprecedented case for the non-crime of a businessman settling a nuisance claim and putting it in his private books as a | ||
| I don't know what the hell she would call it, but somehow this turned into 34 felonies And here's the problem with this case. | ||
| There are many reversible errors, but they took evidence from President Trump's Top aides in the White House the last time. | ||
| Two top aides had to come in and testify. | ||
| That violated the doctrine of presidential immunity as the Supreme Court clearly ruled in June. | ||
| And they're ignoring this. | ||
| They're trying to move forward. | ||
| This Mershon's trying to move forward to label Trump a convicted felon before he goes back to the White House. | ||
| This is before the inauguration. | ||
| This is what it is. | ||
| Mike, hang up for one second. | ||
| Mike Davis joins us. | ||
| Natalie's going to be up. | ||
| We're going to talk about... | ||
| I'm going to go back and go back to the speaker's election and also what's going to happen tomorrow at Fort McNair at the conference. | ||
| Signal, not noise. | ||
| I told you it was going to be about reconciliation and I told you it was going to be about rules. | ||
| They spit the bit and didn't get Chip Roy to run the rules committee, so hey. | ||
| It's Katie Bar the Door now over in the house. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| back in the warm in just a moment. | ||

| Okay, it's a Friday It's all signal, no noise today. | ||
| We told you beforehand what was going to happen in the house. | ||
| I'll get back to that later because it's quite important this audience understands both critical path, process, the structure of this, and what the economics are going to look like. | ||
| One of the top reporters that cover these things actually tweeted out what Chip Rory was saying on here about some of the cuts. | ||
| I'm going to get to that in a second, particularly if any media is watching, which we know you are. | ||
| Mike, the reason they're watching, by the way, is this audience, the most powerful audience and the most powerful political movement in world history, the MAGA movement, President Trump. | ||
| Is our leader and President Trump get his speaker today? | ||
| They are immediately, Mershon, they're, you see, inmate Weissman, they're obsessed with Trump. | ||
| You nailed it right there. | ||
| They want to make sure that when Trump takes, goes to the inaugural, that all the mainstream media is saying he's a convicted felon with the following sentence, you know, even if it's delayed or even if it's, he says, well, it should be prison, but I'm going to do this because you're going to be in the White House, etc. | ||
| Boris couldn't come on today because the lawyers are working overtime on this, even as we speak. | ||
| But Mike Davis, given we know what Mershon wants to do, we know what that smirking hyena Weisman wants to do, and all those future criminals, or they are criminals, but future inmates are doing, what is your kind of recommendation? | ||
| How should the audience think about this, number one? | ||
| And for the president, what are the potential alternatives here, sir? | ||
| So the American people... | ||
| Heard all of the evidence and allegations and all four of these bogus criminal prosecutions against President Trump, along with all the civil nonsense, trying to throw him off the ballot, trying to bankrupt him. | ||
| The American people rendered their verdict on November 5th. | ||
| And you have these Democrat prosecutors and these Democrat judges and these Democrat holes like Judge Mershon, this corrupt, partisan, dangerous. | ||
| These are bogus charges against President Trump. | ||
| If they would not have brought these charges, President Trump would probably be a retired president in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| He would not have been propelled back onto the political scene, into the presidential race and back into the White House. | ||
| These partisan Democrat operatives and these prosecutors' offices and these judges' chambers can't get this through their thick skulls, that the American people are tired of this unprecedented republic-ending lawfare and election interference. | ||
| And they're going to learn this the hard way, because guess what? | ||
| Judge Murchon's going to sentence President Trump on January 10th if the Supreme Court doesn't stop him before that, which the Supreme Court absolutely should do. | ||
| He's put in this order today. | ||
| He's probably not going to put President Trump in prison, but he's going to label him a convicted felon before he goes into the White House. | ||
| And I would say this to these Democrat partisan operatives. | ||
| Right now, you guys are the hunters. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| On January 20th at noon, you're going to become the hunted because I'm going to push very hard from the Article 3 project very publicly. | ||
| For the Trump 47 Justice Department to open a criminal probe on all of these Democrat operatives who have waged this unprecedented welfare. | ||
| And this special grand jury down in Fort Pierce, Florida, should investigate all of these Democrats, whether it's Alvin Bragg, Tish James, Fannie Willis, Judge Bershon, Matthew Colangelo, Andrew Weissman on the outside. | ||
| They all need to be investigated by a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, where they did the Mar-a-Lago raid for conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. Section 241, a very serious federal civil rights felony. a very serious federal civil rights felony. | ||
| Jack Smith, who should be part of this investigation, along with Jay Bratt, are very well aware of this charge. | ||
| It's one of the charges they brought against President Trump in their bogus D.C. case. | ||
| Tanya Shutkin should also be part of this because judges are not above the law when it comes to 18 U.S.C. Section 241. As they've told us, for the last three years of this bogus lawfare against Trump for non-crimes, or they went after Trump, his top aides like you, Steve, Bannon, Peter Devaro, who went to prison, his supporters on January 6th who were politically persecuted under the Supreme Court's Fisher decision, there has to be accountability. | ||
| For what happened. | ||
| So they're gonna gleefully sentence President Trump on January 10th. | ||
| And then guess what? | ||
| On January 20th, accountability is coming. | ||
| Justice is coming. | ||
| But we have to sit through, this is going to be just like folks. | ||
| Remember sitting outside the courtroom and they had the director's chairs and Rachel Maddow's all puffed up and Andrew Weissman's there and they're outside in New York and they're down in Georgia and Fulton County and they're outside Washington, D.C. and they're all smirking and laughing and high-fiving that Trump's going to go to prison and Trump's going to do this and Trump's going to do that. | ||
| Mike Davis said it best. | ||
| The American people rendered their verdict. | ||
| They were the jury here. | ||
| They rendered their verdict on the 5th of November. | ||
| And they said, this is BS. We want it gone, and we want this guy back in the White House. | ||
| We want him as chief magistrate. | ||
| More than ever, Mike, I think when he talked about unity of the executive, right? | ||
| He's the chief executive officer of the government by the Constitution. | ||
| He's commander-in-chief of the armed forces by the Constitution. | ||
| He's also chief magistrate and the chief law enforcement officer. | ||
| By the Constitution. | ||
| The progressive left, ever since Watergate, has kind of hived that off and they want that to themselves. | ||
| Oh, no, no, no. | ||
| You've got to have this separation. | ||
| There can be no separation today. | ||
| This is not going after President Trump's opponents or his enemies. | ||
| There has to be accountability for this. | ||
| He is the chief magistrate. | ||
| He owes it. | ||
| He has a duty to the country. | ||
| He has a duty to the Constitution to pursue this. | ||
| And it should be pursued as publicly as possible because the facts are overwhelmingly on his side, Mike Davis. | ||
| Yeah, so President Trump is supposed to be preparing to take office on January 20th. | ||
| We have a current president who is not up to the job. | ||
| It's very clear. | ||
| We have his law enforcement and intel agencies who are not catching terrorist attacks around America. | ||
| When you have former military men posting videos supporting ISIS, and we're not catching that because we have our Justice Department and intel agencies so politicized. | ||
| and weaponized to go after Trump, his top aides, and his supporters. | ||
| And when President Trump is supposed to be preparing to take office on January 20th, this partisan clown Marxist judge, this corrupt, dangerous hack, Judge Juan Mershon wants the president-elect to spend his time preparing Judge Juan Mershon wants the president-elect to spend his time preparing for this sentencing hearing, for this bogus case in New York that the prior Manhattan DA the Manhattan U.S. Attorney, the Federal Election Commission, and Alvin Bragg himself the Federal | ||
| I hope that Judge Bershon's daughter, Lauren Bershon, has made a lot of money off of this case because guess what? | ||
| On January 20th, I hope the Trump 47 Justice Department opens a criminal probe on all of them, including Judge Bershon. | ||
| And if there's evidence that they've engaged in this illegal criminal conspiracy against rights. | ||
| Under 18, USC Section 241, they need to put Judge Marchand's ass in prison. | ||
| They should preserve their documents. | ||
| I can tell you what's coming after the 20th is to preserve your document letter, but I would do that today. | ||
| I want to go... | ||
| To something we dealt with about the Supreme Court justices, and they put their houses and they dox them during the Dobbs decision on abortion. | ||
| But the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court came out the other day, and I don't know. | ||
| We're making a big push that Barrow Howell and some of these judges in D.C. should be brought up for review, and I think a couple of them ought to be impeached and tried in the Senate and removed from the federal bench. | ||
| Explain what – is Judge Roberts saying that, hey, reviewing Marchand, reviewing Burrell Howe, all this, is that what he's talking about? | ||
| Or is he talking about what happened to Kavanaugh and these guys where he never really said anything when that was happening, sir? | ||
| I think it's the latter because I think that these Democrat operatives who – I had illegal obstruction of justice campaigns outside of the chief justice's home, who attacked the chief justice's wife, who gave up her lucrative law partnership to be a legal headhunter. | ||
| You know, she's still making good money, but she'd be making a hell of a lot more money as a law partner at a major law firm when the chief justice became a federal judge. | ||
| I think that when you attack someone like that in their home, when you attack their wife like that, you might just red pill that judge and make him a lot more. | ||
| I'm not concerned about the Chief Justice anymore. | ||
| If I were the Democrats, I would be concerned about the Trump 47 Justice Department, because unlike last time, we're not going to have a bunch of elitist wimps like Bill Barr. | ||
| That, you know, has a big roar but doesn't do a damn thing about BLM and Antifa that terrorized our cities for six months. | ||
| They're going to be dealing with a real attorney general who actually has balls and her name is Pam Bondi. | ||
| And she's, I seriously doubt, unlike Bill Barr, I seriously doubt that Pam Bondi's going to put up with this nonsense. | ||
| I want to talk about confirmation. | ||
| Pam Bondi and Cash, given what the FBI's done, they're talking about they want continuity. | ||
| No. | ||
| This is a completely dysfunctional institution. | ||
| It has to be completely taken apart and then put back together again. | ||
| We need cash and we need bonding. | ||
| You're my confirmations guy. | ||
| People have to realize in the first Trump administration, Davis was the superstar over there on Grassley and worked closely with the White House to make sure we got these justices through there. | ||
| Brother, I'm not feeling it on the confirmations. | ||
| We wanted to flood the zone starting Tuesday. | ||
| I'm hearing that the confirmation is not even going to start until the 16th and the 17th. | ||
| At the committee level, you may not get these folks a committee vote until, I don't know, the last week of January, 1st of February. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| Can you make me feel better that this process is actually progressing? | ||
| We need Pam Bondi. | ||
| We need Kash Patel in immediately. | ||
| Well, I would say this. | ||
| These people who laughed when President Trump nominated Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth. | ||
| And they said that their nominations were dead on arrival. | ||
| And then the Article III project teamed up with the War Room Posse, the most powerful force in American politics. | ||
| And we lit up their phone lines and blew up their emails. | ||
| And three days later, they went from dead on arrival to when can they start? | ||
| I think that these Republican senators got the message. | ||
| I think they got the attitude adjustment. | ||
| That Steve Bannon's War Room and Crazy Mike Davis' Article 3 project sent them. | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| So we know we got their minds right, and this audience did it, the Article 3 project, your new great app. | ||
| I tell you what, I want to hold you for one more segment, because I've got to talk about confirmation. | ||
| There's so much going on here. | ||
| We've got a lot more to get through. | ||
| We're going to get to, there's some startling data coming out about the student visas, everything about the phony immigration. | ||
| There is no legal immigration in this country. | ||
| It is all completely illegal because it games the system against American workers from soup to nuts. | ||
| Natalie's going to join me. | ||
| We've got some experts going to join us in the next hour. | ||
| I want to talk more also about what went down in the House. | ||
| They're still fighting over there on the rules package. | ||
| We're not exactly ecstatic by that rules package, and we want to see who's going to be in the rules committee. | ||
| The rules kind of control the floor, and we'd like to control the floor. | ||
| And we're going to get a preview of what's going to happen in Fort McNair tomorrow. | ||
| The Republicans are going to go off for an all-day off-site conference. | ||
| Thank God they're not going to some big resort or anything like that. | ||
| They're going over there. | ||
| It sounds like a real working session. | ||
| Very proud of that. | ||
| Very supportive of that. | ||
| But they're going to make some decisions tomorrow. | ||
| Some decisions are going to have a massive impact on President Trump's administration. | ||
| It's going to have a massive impact on the 2022 midterms. | ||
| It's going to have a massive impact on the success of this administration. | ||
| And most importantly, it's going to have an impact on this nation, and particularly her finances and what's happening down at the border. | ||
| The term is reconciliation. | ||
| Okay, reconciliation. | ||
| We're going to get to all of it. | ||
| I want to make sure you go to Birch Gold. | ||
| You've gotten up to speed on so many things, right? | ||
| We need you up to speed on the things on finance and capital markets. | ||
| Birchgold.com. | ||
| And this is why the Birch Gold guys are so great. | ||
| They give resources to us to help us think through these issues. | ||
| Modern monetary theory. | ||
| We're not just trying to make you the smartest person at the holiday party, the Christmas party. | ||
| I'm trying to make sure you're weaponized to be utilized in this fight to save your nation. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Mike Davis. | ||
| You know, on days like today... | ||
| When I'm going to be working late, Warpath Coffee. | ||
| Warpath.coffee. | ||
| Don't take it from me. | ||
| Take it from the 6,000 five-star reviews of this coffee, which is extraordinary. | ||
| Also, I got some new packaging came in today. | ||
| I'll show you that on tomorrow morning's show. | ||
| Warpath Coffee. | ||
| Go to warpath.coffee. | ||
| You put it in War Room, you get a discount. | ||
| But spend some time on the site. | ||
| Find out about the coffees may leave Tasia message, but also read the reviews. | ||
| Check it out. | ||
| Once you once you go there, you'll become a war path aficionado and devotee like ourselves. | ||
| Mike Davis on I want to go back because we want the war room posse to fully understand process. | ||
| Uh, Grassley, you've worked for Senator Grassley. | ||
| He's a good man. | ||
| They have, I think, a rule of thumb that's 28 days after you get the package, he will call a hearing. | ||
| And folks, understand. | ||
| You have to meet with the controlling committee first. | ||
| In other words, Pete Hegseth will go to armed services. | ||
| Pam Bondi and Cash Patel will go to the judiciary. | ||
| With Pam Bondi being the attorney general going first, Cash would be second. | ||
| Bobby Kennedy would go to the Health and Human Services in the Senate. | ||
| Howard Lutnick would go to Commerce. | ||
| Besant would go to banking and finance. | ||
| So it's to the jurisdiction of that committee. | ||
| Because remember, the Senate's basic work by the Constitution is really the Human Resources Department. | ||
| Treaties, and it's quite important that they have that confirmation process, one of the separations of powers. | ||
| And Mike's absolutely correct. | ||
| You know, some of these nominations, remember how they were laughed at back in November when President Trump made it? | ||
| They ain't laughing now. | ||
| Because these things are heading towards confirmation. | ||
| But just the timing of the process, Mike, If the hearings I'm hearing, the first couple of hearings with the committees themselves may not take place until the 15th, 16th, or 17th of January, that means President Trump could actually start with nobody on his team really sworn in? | ||
| Is that how it's going to be? | ||
| Well, what they generally do is they'll start by having hearings for some of the top people earlier on in January, like the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State. | ||
| They have what's called the 28-day rule on the Senate Judiciary Committee, where you have to wait. | ||
| You generally wait 28 days after you get the paperwork before you hold the hearing. | ||
| It's actually not a hard and fast rule. | ||
| It's a custom, and it can be waived. | ||
| And so I imagine with Pam Bondi, they will waive that, and they'll move forward more quickly, particularly since we've had a president of the United States and his team who are sleeping on the job and diverting critical intelligence and law enforcement. | ||
| Resources to go after political enemies like those very dangerous 75-year-old Christians praying at abortion clinics while we let these ISIS terrorists put out videos and then mass murder Americans. | ||
| And so I think there's a very good argument to skip the 28-day rule and move forward very quickly so President Trump at least has his national security team ready to go pretty close to day one like Pete Hegseth and Tulsi. | ||
| Gabbard and Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and others. | ||
| And I think the Senate needs to move forward and move forward quickly. | ||
| Now, there are some things that are set by rule that can't be changed very easily. | ||
| But I think that this will be a good test for this new Senate Majority Leader, John Thune. | ||
| We're going to see whether he is going to lean in as the leader and push through President Trump's qualified. | ||
| Cabinet picks and other key executive branch nominees. | ||
| That is his job as the Senate majority leader for the president of his own party. | ||
| If he thinks that he's some neutral judge during this process, then he needs to get his head out of his ass and understand what his job is. | ||
| And that's to confirm the president's qualified picks as quickly as possible. | ||
| And we're on a roll right now, folks. | ||
| Where do you go for Article 3, Mike, to become part of this and to help out? | ||
| We've got a lot of work to do, folks, in these confirmations. | ||
| They're going to get confirmed, but hey, it's going to be a lift, and we know you're going to be there. | ||
| Where do they go, Mike? | ||
| I was going to say, you're getting the Warpath coffee. | ||
| I want the Warpath whiskey for January to confirm these cabinet picks and fight this lawfare. | ||
| You can go to Article 3 Project. | ||
| You can donate there. | ||
| Follow us on social media. | ||
| And the most important thing you can do, especially in the month of January, is take action to light up these Senate Republicans to help them find their backbones and confirm President Trump's cabinet picks and other senior executive branch officials ASAP. Thank you, brother. | ||
| Wish you came on with your red beard. | ||
| You hadn't shaved, but hey, you clean up well, Davis. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
