| For you is that, to the surprise of many, including, I'll be honest, myself, the Supreme Court has denied, denied Donald Trump's bid to stay his criminal sentence. | ||
| He is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow to no jail time, but as of tomorrow, he will officially be sentenced for the 34-count felony conviction in New York. | ||
| The Supreme Court... | ||
| Asked and answered. | ||
| They have said no to Donald Trump's bid to stay his sentencing. | ||
|

|
Judge Mershon Mika has already told us that he is leaning inclined to an unconditional discharge, meaning a sentence of no sentence. | |
| That's unusual and highly unusual. | ||
| In all my years as a federal prosecutor, I've never seen anything like it. | ||
| Almost always there's a term of incarceration or at least supervised release, probation, community service, a fine, restitution. | ||
| Something attaches to the conviction. | ||
| And here Judge Mershon has said there will be no sentence. | ||
| But what that means, too, and this is important, is that the underlying criminal case... | ||
| The judgment is final. | ||
| Mr. Trump, of course, has the right to appeal to a higher court in New York State, but the sentencing proceeding puts an end to the underlying case. | ||
| It makes Mr. Trump a felon before he assumes office for the second time. | ||
| I am looking to see whether or not he has anything to say. | ||
| Many defendants do. | ||
| Some don't. | ||
| I don't imagine that he will be apologetic. | ||
| But felon almost in name only, Chuck, are there any tangible consequences? | ||
| Because when and if we do hear from Donald Trump, he's going to say this is political persecution. | ||
| It's a witch hunt. | ||
| He's not going to take ownership of it. | ||
| So are there any practical consequences, Stephanie? | ||
| For the layman like me. | ||
| No. | ||
| So he wins. | ||
| Well, he's still convicted, and perhaps you draw some sustenance from that. | ||
| I do. | ||
| A jury of his peers found him guilty by proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and unanimously so. | ||
| That means something to me. | ||
| But does he serve time? | ||
| Does he have to pay a fine? | ||
| It doesn't seem like that will be the case. | ||
| 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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

Mega media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It's Friday, 10 January in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| We're going to have news today and analysis going from Moscow and Kiev to the shores of the Pacific. | ||
| Pacific Palisades to talk about that situation out there. | ||
| Also, it's a workday. | ||
| Texas, a massive and important speaker of the House race that we're going to get into a little later. | ||
| And also, the most important work we have today is manning the ramparts and these confirmations of Kash Patel and Bondi and Pete Hexeth, etc. | ||
| So, it's a workday here in the War Room. | ||
| But we've got to start... | ||
| With this fiasco in New York City, President Trump, I think, is speaking right now, and he's giving them the old what-for about how this has destroyed the legal system, the judiciary. | ||
| This is a show trial. | ||
| It's a sham. | ||
| It's a kangaroo court. | ||
| Prosecutors are jumping in as President Trump speaks. | ||
| Say, President Trump, I think, before the prosecutor said, have President Trump have destroyed the system. | ||
| So we have a lot to go through. | ||
| Mike Davis joins us. | ||
| Julie Kelly's going to be in on a moment. | ||
| Mike Davis, you were seeing this in real time. | ||
| There are no microphones or cameras in the court. | ||
| This is a New York State Superior Court, I guess it is. | ||
| And so we're getting all this from texts or from tweets people are putting out in real time. | ||
| What's your sense? | ||
| Today is one Mersh on the Supreme Court last night, shockingly. | ||
| And this is what happens. | ||
| You know, Coney Barrett was supposed to be the pick, and all the Right to Life people loved her. | ||
| and she's been a total and complete unmitigated disaster, except for that one topic. | ||
| I'll be blunt. | ||
| She's not exactly Felix Frankfurter in the mental area, and she just had one bad ruling, five to four last night, Roberts and Coney Barrett deciding against the president. | ||
| Mike Davis, put in perspective for us what happened last night at the Supreme Court and what's going on today in this courtroom. | ||
| Yeah, so when you import The third world, you become the third world. | ||
| And we have this corrupt, partisan, dangerous, third world, trash, Marxist judge in Manhattan, Juan Mershon, who donated to Trump's political opponents, whose adult daughter, Lauren Mershon, got paid by the Kamala campaign, whose adult daughter, Lauren Mershon, is raising money off of this. | ||
| Unprecedented, bogus criminal prosecution of a former and future president. | ||
| There are so many reversible errors in this case. | ||
| The most glaring right now is that this Mershon ignored the Supreme Court's June presidential immunity decision. | ||
| When the judge refused to declare a mistrial after he allowed in testimony from two top White House aides against President Trump, which is a violation of presidential immunity, right? | ||
| And so, again, so many reversible errors. | ||
| Didn't tell President Trump. | ||
| What the crime was, made up a bogus crime based upon a bogus legal theory. | ||
| A Soros-funded Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on getting Trump, brought this case after Matthew Colangelo got deployed from the Biden. | ||
| Justice Department, the number three official in the Biden Justice Department, a senior political operative to bring this bogus case. | ||
| The prior Manhattan DA, a Democrat, Cy Vance, refused to bring this case. | ||
| The Federal Election Commission refused to bring this case. | ||
| Bragg himself refused to bring this case. | ||
| And then Colangelo got deployed because Bragg is George Soros' puppet. | ||
| And then we have this sentencing today. | ||
| And wait, this is... | ||
| 34 felony counts, they say. | ||
| He's 34 felony convictions. | ||
| It's so serious and it's so solemn. | ||
| Well, so why isn't Mershon putting President Trump in prison today? | ||
| And we know the answer. | ||
| The answer is even Mershon knows this is lawfare. | ||
| It's election interference. | ||
| It's bogus. | ||
| And this is all about giving President Trump a political black eye 10 days before he's supposed to. | ||
| Get sworn in as the President of the United States. | ||
| And what's so dangerous about this Supreme Court precedent that was set last night, Steve, is this. | ||
| Okay, the Supreme Court is saying that a partisan, corrupt, dangerous local prosecutor and judge has the ability, they can put a President-elect in prison. | ||
| 10 days before his inauguration, because remember, Mershon said he's probably not going to put President Trump in prison and put conditions on him, but he left that open. | ||
| So the Supreme Court is saying that's okay, apparently, because you have three partisan hacks on the Supreme Court, along with a law professor with her head up her ass, and a chief justice. | ||
| Mike, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to work through this. | ||
| Joe Hoff's actually going to join us a little later to walk through these ridiculous, bogus charges. | ||
| Julie Kelly, you were on the 5 o'clock show, and I said, hey, it's getting pretty late in the day. | ||
| What's going to happen here? | ||
| And it kind of played out like we thought. | ||
| I was stunned. | ||
| Coney Barrett and Roberts. | ||
| Both a disgrace, sided with the radicals about President Trump. | ||
| Your thoughts, ma'am? | ||
| Well, I mean, I share everyone's outrage, especially at Amy Coney Barrett, but I think it's to recall that although she was with the majority in the July immunity ruling, she wrote a separate opinion, and she sort of disagreed with Justice Roberts. | ||
| She's Justice Roberts in the majority. | ||
| That these outer perimeter acts in the presidency should not be immune from prosecution. | ||
| So yes, she voted with the majority, but she still had to throw her two cents in. | ||
| She also, more egregiously, I think, was in the majority with Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor in the Fisher decision, upholding how the DOJ weaponized and abused that post-Enron statute against the president. | ||
| And more than 300 J6ers. | ||
| She's an absolute disgrace, and people are infuriated because they fought so hard for her. | ||
| But also, Chief Justice Roberts issued a report last, I think it was right after the first of the year, talking about disinformation being such a threat to the courts, how the courts are above reproach. | ||
| That people criticizing judges are out of line. | ||
| I mean, this was this whole missive talking about really denouncing public criticism of judges. | ||
| This would have been a perfect opportunity for him to send a message to other judges, even though Mershon is not a federal judge. | ||
| Look, we can't have this kind of partisanship because this is what is destroying the credibility of the judiciary right now. | ||
| Instead, he endorses what Mershon is doing. | ||
| Not only trying to officially make President Trump a convicted felon today, also allowing him to rant from the bench, which he presumably will do because that's what he just did in his order that he issued on January 3rd. | ||
| But this matter is still pending before the New York appellate court. | ||
| And Mike could probably speak to this better than I can. | ||
| Usually when there's an appeal pending related to immunity, the proceedings are suspended. | ||
| That's exactly what happened in the Washington J6 case. | ||
| So he's appealing this conviction based on presidential immunity, which, of course, that order came down after he was convicted in May of 2024. This relates to conduct when he was president the first time. | ||
| So there's a very good chance that this conviction will be... | ||
| What a mess the Supreme Court just made, to Mike's point. | ||
| And at a time when the Supreme Court Democrats and the left, of course, are going after the court, and their credibility in the eyes of Democrats is diminishing, this certainly does not help bolster our support of this court, especially the Chief Justice, by that stomp that they pulled last night. | ||
| Mike, let's take that head on. | ||
| I mean, here's the problem. | ||
| You have, and you brought it up, and she reinforced it. | ||
| You can have these out-of-control, source-backed, I mean, you've got Alvin Bragg, Tish James, you can have these out-of-control people. | ||
| That's going to happen. | ||
| That's just going to happen. | ||
| And we're trying to protect the system here. | ||
| Of course, Trump, they see, is an existential threat to their system, and he is. | ||
| But then you have a guy like Morshan. | ||
| I don't even know if we've got Morshan's... | ||
| There's questions about even, you know, how he's even a U.S. citizen. | ||
| There's all kinds of questions about all of this. | ||
| It's the Supreme Court that's supposed to step in here and say, hey, pencils down. | ||
| I mean, to me, the most outrageous thing is Roberts once again, because he's so weak, but Coney Barrett's just, I mean, hey, I think she ought to think about an early retirement. | ||
| I mean that. | ||
| And give President Trump an opportunity. | ||
| If she had any class, she would immediately step down after President Trump took the oath of office on the 20th. | ||
| I mean this. | ||
| I'm going to be all over this. | ||
| And Coney Barrett, as a matter of honor, personal honor, should step down from the Supreme Court and allow President Trump, one of his first acts, is to start putting a replacement for her in the Supreme Court. | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| Am I too far out of line here? | ||
| I mean, this is outrageous what the Supreme Court did. | ||
| Mershine and these guys are gangsters. | ||
| Look what they did on this thing. | ||
| We're going to have Hoff here just to reinforce how outrageous this is. | ||
| I'll tell you what, Mike, hang on. | ||
| We're going to go to the break, and we're going to bring you and Julie back. | ||
| A dark day. | ||
| The American people sat as a jury on this on the 5th of November in the year of our Lord, 2024. The American people. | ||
| After dealing with this for years, rendered a verdict. | ||
| Remember, Lincoln said this is very important. | ||
| To do these policies, but then give time for the American people to turn it over in their mind. | ||
| And if you think of all the onslaught of the media against this, you know, besides War Room, you had a couple other small sites at the time that fought back on this. | ||
| And the American people listened. | ||
| And they watched. | ||
| And they rendered a verdict. | ||
| That President Trump must return to power to stop this, to stop this weaponization. | ||
| Of everything else President Trump's got to do, this has got to be important. | ||
| We have to de-weaponize this system. | ||
| You're not going to de-weaponize it when you have weak-willed people like Chief Justice Roberts, who is a total disgrace, but Coney Barrett, outrageous. | ||
| She should immediately resign from the Supreme Court at high noon on the 20th. | ||
| At high noon on the 20th, she's principled. | ||
| Resign. | ||
| Let President Trump fill that billet. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Okay, I've got Kelly and Davis. | ||
| Kelly and Davis. | ||
| I think that's what Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby on A White Christmas. | ||
| I think their act was Kelly and Davis or something like that. | ||
| Mike, Julie, let's go to this report. | ||
| I think you put it out. | ||
| By the way, Mershon did unconditional release. | ||
| We knew he was going to do. | ||
| He was pressured to do that, but he wanted to be cute. | ||
| He says, I don't know. | ||
| Maybe we give him some prison time. | ||
| Maybe send him over to Rikers for a while. | ||
| That was before, not today. | ||
| Today is very straightforward. | ||
| President Trump made a very... | ||
| A very, I think, brilliant assessment. | ||
| Our own David Zier from Real America's Voice was in the courtroom. | ||
| David's going to jump out and join us here momentarily as soon as he can get out of the courtroom. | ||
| Julie Kelly, tell me about, I mean, this thing's so conflicted. | ||
| The daughter's making money hand over fist and getting bigger donations or bigger participations and bigger gigs as her father drops the hammer more on Trump. | ||
| They were incentivized. | ||
| They were incentivized to basically break the law against President Trump because they were making more money. | ||
| Am I too far off base on that, ma'am? | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| Lauren Mershon, who is the daughter of Lauren Mershon, is co-owner of a company called Authentic Campaigns. | ||
| Her co-owner, Mike, I forgot his last name, was the head of White Dudes for Harris. | ||
| Her website, which I posted earlier today, She has collected and retained top Democrats, including those who are running for re-election for the Senate and running for the Senate this past cycle. | ||
| Adam Schiff has probably paid her upwards of $8 million. | ||
| Here are just a few of the bigger disbursements that Authentic Campaigns has received leading up to the election. | ||
| Tammy Baldwin for Senate was running for re-election in Wisconsin, which she pretended to win. | ||
| I guess they stole it there. | ||
| $247,000 paid to Lauren Marchand's firm October 28th of 2024. $80,000 November 4th. | ||
| I mean, the number of six-figure checks that Lauren Marchand's firm has received, Montanans for Tester, October 2024, $60,000. | ||
| Arizona Democratic Party paid her $40,000 in October 2024. Tammy Baldwin, again in October, another $148,000 check. | ||
| I don't know what she's buying. | ||
| She was not up for re-election. | ||
| $187,000 September of 2024. The list goes on, but Steve, I'm going to be totaling this up as of May of 2024, when President Trump was convicted, how much money Lauren Murchon has raked in. | ||
| Post, post, post. | ||
| Does her dirty work in the Democratic Party so she can enrich herself and presumably her family. | ||
| She's like a mini-Hunter Biden. | ||
| Mike, given these facts, how could the Supreme Court, because now it's not just President Trump, and all they're trying to do is smear him. | ||
| He can't. | ||
| The power he's got today from his own efforts, his own moral courage in the war room posse, heaven is back. | ||
| But doesn't the Supreme Court understand what they've basically validated or positively sanctioned as a normal course of business, sir? | ||
| Yeah, apparently with the Supreme Court, a president is immune from criminal prosecution, but he's not immune from criminal sentencing 10 days before he becomes the president. | ||
| I really think the Chief Justice and Justice Amy Coney Barrett thought they were being cute and political here, and all they've done is created a disaster. | ||
| They've created a lot of anger in America. | ||
| You're seeing the outrage right now online, and the Chief Justice thinks it's his job to protect the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, and I think he caused a lot of damage. | ||
| I would say to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, it's time for you to get your head out of your ass. | ||
| You are a rattled law professor and you're embarrassing yourself. | ||
| I know you have too much class to say this, Mike, but she's got to go. | ||
| She's got to step down. | ||
| But we'll get to war room, focus on that. | ||
| I just want to make sure of the argument. | ||
| Didn't she say, in her opinion, a part of the thing that, well, Marshawn said he's not going to send him to prison, so he's going to be released unconditionally. | ||
| Wasn't that what they leaned on? | ||
| But that's kind of irrelevant, isn't it? | ||
| Because Marshawn could have changed his mind at the last second, but it's still the symbolic nature of this, correct? | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| It's presidential immunity. | ||
| Julie was talking about this, the smartest non-lawyer I know. | ||
| Smartest lawyer, non-lawyer I know is Julie Kelly. | ||
| She said that when you assert immunity, the case has to stop, right? | ||
| And that includes, obviously, criminal sentencing. | ||
| If you are immune from criminal prosecution, you can't be criminally sentenced. | ||
| Unless, you know, it's Amy Coney Barrett and, you know, she's at home knitting or whatever the hell she does late at night. | ||
| She can't get her head out of her ass. | ||
| And understand that criminal sentencing... | ||
| is the worst part of criminal prosecution. | ||
| So if you're immune from criminal prosecution, you're obviously immune from criminal sentencing. | ||
| But, you know, we put a 15-part test that, you know, some wackadoodle like Justice Kennedy would be proud of last night that, oh, it's okay because we'll trash Marxist judge. | ||
| We import it from the Cali cartel in Columbia. | ||
| We're going to trust that he's going to do the right thing tomorrow. | ||
| Julie Kelly, any update on the whole Jack Smith fiasco on the – Here's what they're trying to do. | ||
| Understanding that we're now into the run-up for game day, right? | ||
| And game day, I'm telling you, we're going to do our coverage of the majesty of the ceremony and the event, but... | ||
| We've got all kind of planned out how to follow the action, because at high noon, it's going to be action, action, action. | ||
| President Trump is going to fire off the football here with the entire team. | ||
| This is one of the reasons we've got to get these confirmations done. | ||
| What they're trying to do with Marchand here, oh, he's a convicted felon now. | ||
| You're just going to see that all the time now in the New York Times and MSNBC to try to put that in people's minds. | ||
| But also this Jack Smith, they are trying to do backflow. | ||
| So they've already been ordered to stand down to get out the report, another bias, hack thing. | ||
| And Jack Smith's going to be under investigation. | ||
| As Marchand's going to be under investigation. | ||
| Bragg's going to be under investigation. | ||
| This all falls under the vast criminal conspiracy to stop Trump, of which the American people rendered a verdict and said, hey, we want Trump. | ||
| So now we're going to go on the offense here. | ||
| But they're going to try to do everything possible to put as many markers out there. | ||
| Give me an update on the Jack Smith fiasco. | ||
| So despite a court docket in Florida that has more than 700 entries, despite wall-to-wall coverage of the J-6 case proceeding in Washington, despite an 845-page report issued by the January 6th Select Committee, despite an 845-page report issued by the January 6th Select Committee, and just non-stop coverage of President Trump January 6th now for four | ||
| Jack Smith has authored a report which special counsels can do at the conclusion of their work and submit it to the Attorney General. | ||
| Apparently, he has written a report, two volumes, Volume 1 dealing with the J6 case, that has been dismissed. | ||
| And the volume two, the classified documents case in Florida, which also has been dropped against the president, but not his two co-defendants. | ||
| Well, the two co-defendants in that case filed an immediate of seeking an injunction from Jack Smith releasing that report because there's still ongoing litigation there. | ||
| Judge Cannon issued an immediate order preventing Jack Smith and the Department of Justice from sharing that draft report, which was given to Merrick Garland on Tuesday, sharing that report outside of the department. | ||
| Well, Jack Smith and DOJ went crazy and went to the appellate court, of course, asking them to reverse Judge Cannon and asking them not to permit them to release this report. | ||
| Last night, the 11th Circuit appellate court did deny the co-defendants. | ||
| So basically, Trump's side denied their motion to prevent the release of this report. | ||
| However, Judge Cannon's order still is in effect for three more days. | ||
| Well, what happens today? | ||
| Yeah, but my point is, hang on, hang on, hang on, but hang on, hang on. | ||
| Judge Cannon's got it in there, but Sunday night, and that's how you drive the news cycle. | ||
| Sunday night at midnight, it goes away. | ||
| So at 12.01 in the morning a.m., they can release it to the news media to make it put it on the front page of the New York Times and have it lead CNN and MSNBC. Unless something else happens, that will – I mean, they'll give it to Jamie Raskin, but Jamie Raskin is going to take the biggest things and give it right to the New York Times. | ||
| So this – what you're telling me, unless I don't understand this, is that Monday morning people should be looking for this. | ||
| On Friday – I mean, that's their two-gun approach here, right? | ||
| This is not random events, folks. | ||
| This is not randomly happening. | ||
| Garland didn't think about doing this around this. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Julie Kelly, Mike Davis, hang on for a second. | ||
| Joe Hoff's going to join us. | ||
| Hopefully we're going to get down to Texas. | ||
| If that website's working, we're going to go to Texas about this speaker's race. | ||
| We've got all kinds of geopolitics, capital markets. | ||
| But hey, this is what we've got to spend our time on. | ||
| They're coming after Trump. | ||
| Anybody that thinks this thing's over, and anybody that thinks that they believe that what's going to happen on the 20th of January at noon means anything to them, it does not. | ||
| They're going to be actually... | ||
| Look how rabid they are. | ||
| These are like rabid dogs. | ||
| They're like rabid dogs. | ||
| What happened in New York today is what rabid dogs do. | ||
| Jack Smith's a rabid dog. | ||
| And metaphorically, what do you do with rabid dogs? | ||
| You lay them down. | ||
| Well, that's what we're going to do in this investigation. | ||
| a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Julie, I know you've got to bounce. | ||
| Any summary thoughts before you go? | ||
| There's still a lot of moving parts, I think, today happening in Florida related to the report, so more emotions being filed, so I will keep an eye on that and hopefully be back tonight on War Room. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We'll see you back tonight. | ||
| Julie's also going to hit the Benny Johnson show, so if any of you want to catch that, be up with the great Benny Johnson. | ||
| And in full makeup. | ||
| Just saying. | ||
| I don't make up beautiful like Mike Davis. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| This is like Broadway Danny Rose. | ||
| They make the star and the star moves on to a bigger, better deal. | ||
| She's BBDing me. | ||
| Bigger, better deal. | ||
| Thank you, Julie. | ||
| Come back anytime. | ||
| By the way, to my producer, make sure you cancel all Julie Kellys. | ||
| I'm just kidding. | ||
| She's the best. | ||
| Mike Davis, you know, from the engine room of the war room, you know, we have the guys in the engine room. | ||
| They sent me, and it was quite brilliant. | ||
| I've been talking about the collapse of complex systems. | ||
| This is Darren Beattie's theory of the case, which is brilliant, that when you say we're getting like a third-world country, Beattie actually took that because he's a genius about six months ago and did this whole theory of the case about the collapse of complex systems, starting with our airspace, you know, the problems we had with air traffic controls. | ||
| You can see it in... | ||
| In Pacific Palisades and what's happening there, firemen not even showing up, no water when they do show up. | ||
| This collapse of complex systems, that is what's going to take the United States back to the third world. | ||
| You're seeing this actually in the judicial system. | ||
| It is like a third world banana republic. | ||
| And what infuriates me is that the guardians of this... | ||
| Right? | ||
| The guardians of this should be the Supreme Court of the United States. | ||
| That's why the Supreme Court's always been held in such high esteem and revered. | ||
| Here, they're as big a part of the problem as the third-world gangsters in New York City, sir. | ||
| Yeah, that's the problem, is they're weak, right? | ||
| President Trump's biggest and most consequential accomplishment of his first term was the transformation of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts. | ||
| And they largely get it right. | ||
| And it's a hell of a lot better than it would have been under Hillary Clinton if she got to replace Justice Glee on the Supreme Court instead of President Trump. | ||
| But I'll tell you this, it's on these key cases like this where these justices think that they can be political and cute, that they cause grave damage to the court's legitimacy. | ||
| And the Chief Justice is the most culpable of this. | ||
| When we were on the Supreme Court, we called this He's conservative for sure. | ||
| People think he's liberal. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| He's conservative. | ||
| But he plays these little political games where he tries to throw a bone to the left and split the baby. | ||
| And now he has this rattled law professor with her head up her ass, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, going along with this. | ||
| And all it does is when he thinks he's depoliticizing the court, he's actually making it more political and therefore making it lose its legitimacy. | ||
| The Republicans, you've already seen online, a lot of Republicans just want to move on. | ||
| We're not moving on from this. | ||
| We're not going to move on from this. | ||
| This is what the war room is built for. | ||
| We're not moving on from this. | ||
| And here's why we're not going to move on for it, Mike, because they're going to want to move on, and then they're going to be in President Trump's theater. | ||
| They're going to get all over him, the billboard, that whole Republican establishment legal crowd, and the National Review, all the geniuses over there. | ||
| and they're not going to want to go after the vast criminal conspiracy that got us here. | ||
| That has to happen for this republic. | ||
| This is not about Trump. | ||
| It's not about Navarre, not about Bannon, not about Tom Barrack. | ||
| It's not about any of that. | ||
| This is about what they did, and we have to sort this. | ||
| It's not going to stop until you force it and make it to stop. | ||
| This is the problem. | ||
| This is why the Republican Party and Fox News are controlled opposition. | ||
| We didn't get into this position today. | ||
| Because people fought the entire way is they surrendered the entire time because it's easier. | ||
| Roberts knows that. | ||
| He goes to the cocktail parties and he doesn't get stink-eye, right? | ||
| If you're not getting stink-eye, you're not doing your job, right? | ||
| If you're getting invited to cocktail parties, you're not doing your job, right? | ||
| Your job is not to go party. | ||
| This is also, I want to give a shout to everybody coming this week. | ||
| I realize people want to celebrate, commemorate. | ||
| Hey, we got to be on the ramparts and ready to go to work here. | ||
| The 20th of January is 10 days away. | ||
| And if we don't hit it with muzzle velocity, I mean, bang, bang, bang, the apparatus and the media apparatus is going to grind us to a halt. | ||
| We've only begun the hard work here. | ||
| Mike, you're seeing their surrender already in this because they're already saying, oh, Trump, it doesn't mean anything. | ||
| Let's move on. | ||
| You can't move on from this. | ||
| If you move on from this, you're agreeing with it. | ||
| If you don't fight it and take it out root and branch... | ||
| And yes, it's hard, and it's nasty, and we'd rather spend our time doing other things, right? | ||
| I mean, Mike Davis was the confirmation czar in the first Trump term. | ||
| That's why we got, and he's too humble to tell you, but the work, not just for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, but I mean the work for these other federal judges is hard work. | ||
| It's pick-and-shovel work. | ||
| But we've got to do this, Mike. | ||
| We've got to fight this. | ||
| Are you with me on this, brother? | ||
| Let me just say this to the Republican legal establishments. | ||
| We're not turning the other cheek this time. | ||
| We're not putting in FedSoc, cuck lawyers in the Justice Department. | ||
| We're putting in people like Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche and Emil Bove and John Sauer and Harmeet Dillon and Gail Slater and so many other savages who are going to go in there. | ||
| And they're going to clean up that rat's nest along with Cash Patel. | ||
| At the FBI. And this is not going to happen again. | ||
| We turned the other cheek after a crossfire hurricane, after Obama and Biden and Hillary ran the biggest corruption ever by politicizing and weaponizing our intel agencies and law enforcement to go after President Trump. | ||
| And it's not going to happen again this time. | ||
| We're not putting in wimps. | ||
| We're not going to put wimps on the court. | ||
| We're going to put savages in this time. | ||
| The difference is that the Article III project was not around in 2017 at the beginning of the first Trump administration. | ||
| We would not have made the mistakes we made if we had the Article III project back then. | ||
| And I'm going to make damn sure those mistakes are not made this time. | ||
| And we're not going to have sock cocks turning the other cheek. | ||
| Let me, before I go to, before I let you go, I want to turn, confirmations, I'm going to get more into this later because I got Zeer and I got Alan, Colonel West, I've got to get up. | ||
| Confirmations is everything right now. | ||
| Now, they have started to pull up some stuff. | ||
| I think Pam's going to be on Tuesday, but we need, double down more, you need to contact, you need to contact your Senate's office today. | ||
| You need to tell them, hey, we got the hairy eyeball on you, and we want these things to move. | ||
| We want to move quickly, fairly, do whatever you got to do, but we want to move it through the process. | ||
| We want to get to these committee votes quickly and then get them to the floor. | ||
| No backing stuff up. | ||
| Trump needs his team, and he needs his team as close to the 20th of January as possible. | ||
| Mike Davis, your thoughts. | ||
| I know you guys are working with us shoulder to shoulder on this. | ||
| Look, the Article III project has the best team in America to handle Republican confirmations. | ||
| We have a lean and mean team. | ||
| There are eight of us who've worked on these confirmations. | ||
| The hardest battles, including the Kavanaugh fight, and we're ready to go. | ||
| We've been ready to go. | ||
| Remember when President Trump hit Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard? | ||
| The very smart people, including all the establishment Republicans in D.C., said... | ||
| Those nominations are dead on arrival. | ||
| And then the Article III project teamed up with the War Room Posse, the most powerful coalition out there. | ||
| And in three days after we lit up their phone lines, burned down their phone lines and blew up their emails, they went from dead on arrival to three days later, when can they start? | ||
| We need to keep that pressure up. | ||
| This is going to be a slug every day for the next four years. | ||
| We're going to try to knife Trump every chance they can. | ||
| We're going to keep our eyes on them, and we're going to be ahead of them. | ||
| We're going to be putting them on defense instead of us being on defense. | ||
| So go to article3project.org, group posse, go there, and take action. | ||
| Pete, Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Patel. | ||
| Those are the big fights right now. | ||
| These are the big fights, and remember, these are the showtime fights. | ||
| Let's go back. | ||
| We get 4,000 folks, 3,000 and hit the beach running with a security clearance. | ||
| The other 1,000, 1,000 have got to be confirmed by the Senate. | ||
| If you take the department heads, it's those second, it's the undersecretaries, those deputies, those assistants that all have to be confirmed. | ||
| We're going to be pounding on all of those. | ||
| That's where the real work is. | ||
| First of all, we need the top guys. | ||
| You need the Showtime guys, right? | ||
| But then you need the guys, men and women, right underneath that. | ||
| Then you need all the alphabet agencies. | ||
| We're going to be hammering this every day. | ||
| Those 1,000 must move and move quickly. | ||
| Trump needs his team, and he doesn't need his team two years from now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He needs his team now, now, now. | |
| Mike Davis, one more time. | ||
| Where do they go to Article 3? | ||
| On that point, they waited 18 months to confirm President Trump's Justice Department officials last time because of the bogus Russian collusion hoax, Crossfire Hurricane. | ||
| Again, there must be severe legal, political, and financial consequences for Crossfire Hurricane and the resulting criminal indictments of Trump and the fraud case where they tried to bankrupt him, where they tried to kill him by underfunding his Secret Service protection by taking him off the ballot. | ||
| Justice is coming. | ||
| I guarantee it. | ||
| We're going to fight every day from the Article 3 Project to make damn sure justice is coming. | ||
| And it's article3project.org, article3project.org. | ||
| Donate there. | ||
| Follow us on social media. | ||
| The most important thing is take action. | ||
| You are the most powerful force in Washington. | ||
| Take action. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're feared. | ||
| Thank you very much, Mike. | ||
| Appreciate you taking this much time today. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| A black day on the American legal system. | ||
| Also, you've got Bill Blaster. | ||
| Bill Blaster has all these components to it, too. | ||
| Grace will push that out into the chat rooms, go to the Article 3 project. | ||
| We're working in conjunction on all this. | ||
| The number also, 202-224-3121. | ||
| I hope I got your Irish up this morning. | ||
| We need you at the Ramparts, manning the Ramparts this morning. | ||
| The Senate's got to be put on notice. | ||
| Look, it's very easy to look away. | ||
| It's very easy to say, well, you know, we got so much to do. | ||
| It's very easy to say, well, it's over. | ||
| You know, let's just move on. | ||
| No, we're not moving on. | ||
| The way that Trump came back and had the sweeping victory is the fact that you, this audience, did not move on. | ||
| You dug in, and when digging in, you act as kind of a fulcrum. | ||
| You act as a rally point for others that may be not so committed or, quite frankly, may be afraid. | ||
| So this fight, and I'm just warning everybody because I've seen a lot of people, you know, look, part of the run-up to the inauguration is obviously commemorations and balls and everything, and that's good. | ||
| It's very healthy. | ||
| And we're actually going to be doing some of that, and we're going to get the war and posse that are around the area to come and join us on a couple of things we're going to try to do. | ||
| But right now it should be 36 hours a day hammering on this. | ||
| 20th of January is not an end point. | ||
| It's a launch point. | ||
| It's a launch point. | ||
| And you have to hit, as Bartley said, it's got to have muzzle velocity. | ||
| I think President Trump's talking about 100 executive orders. | ||
| Stephen Miller briefed the Senate with Trump, was it yesterday? | ||
| Two days ago? | ||
| On 100 executive orders. | ||
| Now, I don't happen to think that we're going to get all of those through as we told you the process, OLC, but there'll be 50 plus. | ||
| They'll be enough to keep you occupied on that day, and they'll be in very different areas, but the concentration will be on the border and on deportations and on immigration. | ||
| And I think you're going to see Homan in action. | ||
| I think you'll see the president in action. | ||
| I think you'll see Kristi Noem in action. | ||
| We're going to fire up the football on this. | ||
| We need to get Kristi Noem in. | ||
| 202-224-312. | ||
| I want to tell your senator, hey, I don't want to hear it. | ||
| I don't care if you've got to work over the weekend. | ||
| I don't care what you've got to do. | ||
| We need, at the committee level, we need these hearings. | ||
| I think we need them next week. | ||
| Then you've got to vote quickly on the committee. | ||
| Do your job. | ||
| Not saying don't do your job. | ||
| Do your job. | ||
| Just expedite it. | ||
| Quick march. | ||
| We've got work. | ||
| We're burning daylight right now. | ||
| Then you see, if you ease up for a second, if you ease up for a second, You see exactly what's going to happen, and that's what's happening in New York with this bogus situation. | ||
| Now, President Trump doesn't have any penalty on this. | ||
| David Zier was there. | ||
| He's going to join us, Colonel West. | ||
| We're going to go out to California. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Van. | |
| Okay, the intrepid David Zier joins us from Lower Manhattan. | ||
| David, Real America's Voice investigative reporter in New York City, was in the courtroom. | ||
| Put us in the room, David. | ||
| It's a day of infamy in New York City, the great New York City. | ||
| How far it's fallen, the kind of third world banana republic justice. | ||
| Put us in the room, brother. | ||
| Yeah, felony assaults up 146% on the subway. | ||
| Judge Mershon walks into the room. | ||
| They let a few dozen media outlets in the main courtroom. | ||
| I got in there, and they began by reviewing probation reports, and then the prosecution goes on a tear. | ||
| Against Donald Trump saying that he caused irreparable damage to the criminal justice system to paraphrase and that Trump entered into false attacks that this was a sham and a witch hunt and engaged in dangerous rhetoric and threatened to retaliate. | ||
| And again, they're saying the criminal justice system was put and the court was put in harm's way here. | ||
| But then they called for the unconditional discharge, the most vital solution to ensure finality and allow defendants to pursue the presidency. | ||
| The public interest would not be served by imprisonment. | ||
| And then Blanche responded, and of course he disagreed with that assessment, saying many legal experts say this case never should have been brought forth. | ||
| And the American people agreed by the results of the election. | ||
| But Mershon bent on giving Trump that scarlet letter, F for felon, right? | ||
| He wound up saying, in the end, you know, this was the toughest decision I ever had to make, and the sentencing part is always the toughest part. | ||
| Trump got up. | ||
| Trump was allowed to respond via video from Florida, and he said this is a terrible experience and a setback for New Yorkers. | ||
| This was a case Bragg didn't want to bring originally. | ||
| It was amazing how this progressed. | ||
| These were legal fees and transactions. | ||
| Never should have been brought forth. | ||
| But you know what's funny, when Trump was speaking, the keyboards were blazing away in there by the leftist media around me, and they were laughing and snickering as Trump was making, you know, his comments. | ||
| I thought that was really despicable. | ||
| And Trump said, listen, American cities are burning to the ground. | ||
| And I just wanted to add, you know, New York City, for the first week of January of 2025, murders were up 50% over the first week of January 2024, and rapes were up 30%. | ||
| The 77,000 New Yorkers have been victims of felony and misdemeanor assault over the last year here. | ||
| So New York City is a disaster, and congestion pricing kicked in. | ||
| I had to cross under the cameras, you know, to get into the city today. | ||
| People are being forced onto the subway where they're being beaten. | ||
| Even congestion price advocates were beaten at the 23rd Street station in Chelsea the other day. | ||
| And the city is a mess and a nightmare. | ||
| And valuable resources are being diverted by stuff like this instead of towards the real problems for New York City, Steve. | ||
| The reason the city, because it's the greatest city in the world, the reason the city is a mess now is law and order. | ||
| It's because of Bragg, it's because of Tish James, it's because of people like Mershon. | ||
| Am I incorrect in that? | ||
| This was the trifecta. | ||
| You take anger on, you take the E. Jean Carroll case. | ||
| And this, this is a trifecta. | ||
| While a lot of violent crimes are not prosecuted in New York City, you've got corruption in the New York City Police Department. | ||
| They can't meet their recruitment goals again. | ||
| The police force is almost half of what it was under Bernie Kerrick and Giuliani. | ||
| And it's a total disaster. | ||
| And then the New York City Council's up there celebrating, oh, crime was down 5% for murders and shootings in December. | ||
| But they forgot to mention that rapes were up 20% for the year. | ||
| And felony assaults are at a 26-year high. | ||
| 26-year high for subway murder high right now. | ||
| And people are still getting thrown on the tracks. | ||
| People were slashed the other day. | ||
| There were more stabbings here. | ||
| And the quality of life in New York is abysmal. | ||
| David, where do people go to get your... | ||
| It's a black day, a black mark on New York City today that will never scrub out. | ||
| Where do people go to find you on Real America's Voice in your social media? | ||
| Yeah, on X. I'm at Dave Zier. | ||
| I'm at David Zier on Truth Social. | ||
| Get our Facebook and David W. Zier on Insta. | ||
| Appreciate you, brother. | ||
| Thank you for getting down there today in the freezing cold. | ||
| And it should be noted that when they let media in there, they let David Zier, Real America's Voice, because Real America's Voice has been on this from the beginning. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| In the next hour, we're going to talk about these nominations, the nomination process. | ||
| We're going to have actually an individual here, a warrior. | ||
| That's one of the warriors backing up Pete Hegseth, so we're going to drill down on that. | ||
| Also, we're going to talk about President Trump. | ||
| President Trump has started the negotiations on Ukraine because he's talking about Greenland. | ||
| It is a brilliant strategic gambit to actually make Fortress America, or the Monroe Doctrine 2.0, or manifest destiny on steroids. | ||
| Talking about all the way from the Panama Canal to Greenland. | ||
| It's an opening gambit in a quite complicated Ukraine situation. | ||
| We're going to have Ben Harnwell from Rome. | ||
| Jim Rickards is going to join us. | ||
| We're going to have a lot going on. | ||
| We need you at the Ramparts today. | ||
| We're going to need you at the Ramparts most days going forward. | ||
| There's so much going on at so many different things. | ||
| We'll sort it all out for you here. | ||
| But remember, the power of the War Room is the War Room Posse, these cadres that have come up throughout the country from the precinct strategy to Scott Prezzo's group, all the different groups. | ||
| Bind together here with news and information about what you guys are working on. | ||
| What we can't afford to have happen is something happened that's an unforced error about yourself that takes you out of commission because we need everybody kind of in fixed bayonets. | ||
| One of the ones that worries me the most is this title situation. | ||
| You don't simply have the cyber criminals and the hackers. | ||
| Remember, the Chinese government is hacking the treasury department. | ||
| Think they can hack the local county for your title? | ||
