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. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff. | ||
| Welcome to The War Room. | ||
| It is Wednesday, January 15th in the year of our Lord, 2025. We finally, so glad that we've reached the day where I get to read you Joe Biden's farewell letter on air, or just the highlights. | ||
| Well, I guess I should say lowlights, because that's basically, I would say this is probably... | ||
| The largest example in modern-day history of gaslighting, at best, maybe just an example of dementia, but at worst, an insult to your intelligence. | ||
| The only positive thing, I guess, that I have to say about Joe Biden's farewell letter, which I think is sort of the pregame to the speech that he'll be giving later today, is that, hey, maybe at least he's just getting used to the preferred method of correspondence while in prison, right? | ||
| Sending letters, after all. | ||
| This isn't just about wokeness or DEI. This is about four years of destroying, de-dollarizing, and deconstructing this country from the inside out. | ||
| And yes, MSNBC, I'm using the word inside because the enemy within is on full display in the full-scale gaslight. | ||
| That is Joe Biden's farewell letter. | ||
| So that's your legacy. | ||
| I was about to say Mr. President, but you, sir, are no president. | ||
| There's more revisionist history, I think, maybe than the 1619 Project. | ||
| And just flagging, it is interesting. | ||
| You know we pay attention to the small details here in the war room, but if you read the letter, he didn't sign it. | ||
| President Joe Biden. | ||
| It's because you know that you stole this election. | ||
| You didn't win. | ||
| You never won. | ||
| And I think I can think of, what, over 70 million or so reasons why in this latest election each vote in and of itself its own piece of evidence proving there's no way that, what, 83, 81, whatever the number may be, a million people ever voted for you. | ||
| Now, I'm going to read you some of the highlights. | ||
| And I want you guys, with each sentence that I read, to tell me if this squares with any of your lived experience under Joe Biden. | ||
| Today, we have the strongest economy in the world and have created a record 16.6 million new jobs. | ||
| Wages are up. | ||
| Inflation continues to come down. | ||
| The racial wealth gap is the lowest it's been in 20 years. | ||
| We're rebuilding our entire nation, urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities. | ||
| Manufacturing is coming back to America. | ||
| We're leading the world again in science and innovation, including the semiconductor industry. | ||
| And we finally beat Big Pharma to lower the cost of prescription drugs for seniors. | ||
| More people have health insurance today in America than ever before. | ||
| I signed one of the most significant laws helping millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic materials in their families as well as the most significant climate law ever and the first major gun safety law in nearly 30 years. | ||
| Here's the kicker. | ||
| Today, the violent crime rate is at a 50-year low. | ||
| I guess maybe after reading that, I now know why Meta got rid of their whole fact-checking operation, because I guess they'd be working overtime to deal with all that. | ||
| Nothing in that letter is true. | ||
| I will debate, frankly, the audience. | ||
| You guys could debate any single sentence in that letter and show that it is complete and utter BS. Sorry, Joe Biden, not to trigger you saying the word debate. | ||
| We all know how you did so well in that. | ||
| Joe Biden, of course, is already, I think, shading Nancy Pelosi a bit. | ||
| I thought we were friends. | ||
| Well, we'll go back to the letter because there's another quote that I want to read for you guys. | ||
| This is when it gets really good. | ||
| I think you can hear the Kamala speechwriter coming out in this part. | ||
| History is in your hands. | ||
| The power is in your hands. | ||
| The idea of America lies in your hands. | ||
| We just have to keep the faith and remember who we are. | ||
| We are the United States of America, and there is simply nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together. | ||
| I'm curious, Joe Biden, does this apply to the January Sixers? | ||
| Does this apply to Stephen K. Bannon? | ||
| Does this apply to Peter Navarro? | ||
| Does this apply to, I don't know, the school board moms and dads, the Catholics praying the rosary outside the abortion clinic? | ||
| Last time I checked, you put their hands in handcuffs. | ||
| And just a pro tip, if you really think that you were preaching and proselytizing unity and togetherness, You probably weren't if now all the people who were involved in that are now begging for blanket preemptive pardons. | ||
| Not just pardons, not just preemptive pardons, but blanket preemptive pardons. | ||
| I don't think MAGA really ever felt that unity or that hand-holding. | ||
| Not that I want to hold your hand, especially not you, Hunter Biden. | ||
| I don't know where the heck those hands have been. | ||
| But this is some next-level gaslighting that I guess we've only come to expect from this regime. | ||
| They then go on to list thousands of words of their record of everything that they've accomplished. | ||
| Accomplished. | ||
| Now, some of them are really weird, such as 230 million Americans are now vaccinated, up from 3.5 million when President Biden took office. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How's that? | |
| That's the new version of Manifest Destiny. | ||
| You're not manifesting destiny. | ||
| You're manifesting bigger profits for Pfizer and Moderna. | ||
| That's Joe Biden's legacy. | ||
| But this has to be probably one of my favorite headlines or subheading in the article. | ||
| Are you ready? | ||
| Joe Biden, quote, protected the American people from terrorism and wrongful detention. | ||
| Well, I think the people of New Orleans and Stephen K. Bannon would probably like a word with you on both of those. | ||
| And then it gets even better. | ||
| Did you know that Joe Biden, quote, grew the economy and lowered costs? | ||
| Well, the economy is not the assets under management by Hunter Biden. | ||
| And something tells me that if just the word grocery standing alone by itself can be a campaign slogan, that costs aren't really lowering all that much. | ||
| Now, another thing, I don't know if you missed this, I missed this, Joe Biden, quote, catalyzed a small business boom. | ||
| I don't know, I'm not really hearing that. | ||
| Joe Biden also highlights how he supported American workers, yet they don't tell you about what was it, flooding the zone and inundating this country with cheap third-world-tier labor? | ||
| I guess that's what's being supported by Joe Biden as an American worker means. | ||
| Oh, and of course, they preach about their tax fairness and fiscal responsibility. | ||
| Again, a direct quote. | ||
| I think the debt ceiling, the CR, the deficit, all those wonderful negotiations that we've had and that we've been on the front line of on this show would probably beg to differ. | ||
| Call me a conspiracy theorist, I know, but... | ||
| I think the numbers don't lie. | ||
| And when I say numbers, I'm not talking about hundreds or hundreds of thousands or millions or billions. | ||
| I'm talking trillions. | ||
| And here's where we get to the even better stuff. | ||
| Because I don't know if you knew this, but Joe Biden says that he saved, quote, American leadership around the world. | ||
| He, quote, ended the longest war in American history. | ||
| In reference to Afghanistan, of course. | ||
| Think about a whitewashing. | ||
| I think that euphemistic term, I think the 13 Gold Star families would probably beg to differ that the way that you, quote, ended that war was anything to be proud of. | ||
| I mean, you may as well just come out and speak from a podium, all drugged up on whatever you're taking, and say that you don't care about the American people and you wish that they were dead. | ||
| And we know you do. | ||
| And maybe that's just patriotism to Joe Biden. | ||
| And then, of course, it's just a bunch of Ukraine drivel, talking points, I guess we can call it propaganda. | ||
| They, quote, stood with Ukraine in defense of freedom and democracy. | ||
| They worked to build lasting peace in the Middle East responsibly. | ||
| And they managed competition with the People's Republic of China. | ||
| Note to self, it's the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Now, this all gets a little too WEF and United Nations-y for me, but they brag about how they've, quote, bolstered climate resilience and adaptation, they've accelerated a clean transportation future, and they've advanced the most ambitious environmental justice agenda in history. | ||
| And of course, for good measure, they had to throw in everything they've done on racial equality, equal opportunity, and diversity, as well as gender equity and equality. | ||
| That was a mouthful. | ||
| I'd also ask California how all that's working out. | ||
| Last time I checked, what was it? | ||
| Last week I was hosting this show, and my house was in a mandatory evacuation zone. | ||
| But hey, at least my fire chief's a lesbian. | ||
| And my mayor's a black woman. | ||
| And then here has to be probably the most gaslighting sentence of this entire document. | ||
| Deploying the most agents and officers ever to secure the southern border. | ||
| Deploying the most agents and officers ever to secure the southern border. | ||
| I know they're saying that this is a farewell address, but just remember, had President Donald J. Trump not won, this suspectively would have been the eulogy of these United States of America. | ||
| Right? | ||
| His parting gift to America. | ||
| Let's put the Hill article up on screen about how the Trump inauguration is already facing a copious amount of threats. | ||
| And yeah, I'm sure it's probably to try to drive attendance down so they can mock Trump for the next four years. | ||
| Now I guess they can say convicted felon. | ||
| They want to be able to heckle him over his crowd size. | ||
| Well, it's still bigger than zero, Kamala. | ||
| But it is the perfect culmination of every failure of this regime. | ||
| They're actually working overtime. | ||
| They made 7,000 exemptions for refugees coming from countries on terrorist watch lists to allow them and grant them citizenship here in the United States of America. | ||
| They overlooked, quote, terrorism-related entry restrictions. | ||
| Oh, and by the way, one of the illegals who started one of those fires out in California, which, by the way, another war room called shot, he probably won't even be detained because California is a sanctuary state. | ||
| Sorry to assume your pronouns. | ||
| I know Joe Biden's Office of Refugee Resettlement is working overtime to change the application forms for unaccompanied minors so they can now put their preferred pronouns and identify as non-binary when they're trying to breach and enter the United States illegally. | ||
| Law enforcement is so off their rocker and weaponized and off of their task and purpose, which is keeping the homeland safe, and even if they wanted to, it's a bunch of DEI and affirmative action hires, so good luck on that, that they couldn't even keep this inauguration safe if they wanted to, and that's all by design. | ||
| And here's the best part. | ||
| Here's the juxtaposition, the thing itself. | ||
| No one gives a crap what Joe Biden says. | ||
| Everyone knows it's a lie. | ||
| But when President Trump speaks, people listen. | ||
| Just a week ago, President Trump said, and I quote, And do you know what just happened today, like I said, just a week after that? | ||
| Because our adversaries, our enemies, and even our allies know that we're actually playing with a full deck of cards and not a president who is God knows where doing God knows what. | ||
| The only unifying factor of all of his actions being that he hates this country and has tried to destroy it for, what, 50 years? | ||
| When President Trump speaks, people listen. | ||
| And that's why you're seeing now a ceasefire deal. | ||
| And that these hostages will be returned. | ||
| Joe Biden's State Department was even forced to admit that today in their press briefing. | ||
| Trump, of course, taking credit for it, and rightfully so. | ||
| But how about this? | ||
| January 20th at, what is it, high noon? | ||
| That's when there's a ceasefire on the American people from this rogue and weaponized and America-last government that's hated you for so long and then had the nerve and the balls to lie to you and put out a 10,000-word letter as if you're children and you need a letter read to you about everything that they did to destroy this country and they want to whitewash it as victories for themselves. | ||
| So I would say, Joe Biden, get frickin' used to writing letters. | ||
| Because you're going to be sending a lot of them when you're rotting in prison. | ||
| Which is where you belong, and it's where your son belongs to, and deep down you know that, and that's why you pardoned him. | ||
| We'll be right back after this short break. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Welcome back to the War Room where, you know, we always like to keep things a little hot. | ||
| I know the media was a little bit, I guess, in meltdown about some of our comments about all things Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
| But how about this? | ||
| I'll pile on. | ||
| All these people, these hacks, the Benny Johnsons of the world, the Liz Cheneys, begging, groveling, Adam Kinzinger, Mr. Only criminals need pardons. | ||
| Now groveling for their pardons. | ||
| Yet the corporate equivalent of that is now the millions of dollars that the Bezoses and the Zuckerbergs and all these sellouts. | ||
| Now what, hosting all these inaugural parties? | ||
| Oh wow, your conversion to MAGA is so legit. | ||
| Yet that's the equivalent of the corporate pardons. | ||
| Might I humbly suggest that those are the companies that we should be investigating and looking into first for a full-out globalist conspiracy to not just steal the 2020 election, but to steal this country from you, from your children, from your grandchildren, and deprive us of the way of life that we have known for so long. | ||
| And I say we fund those investigations with the money that they've donated. | ||
| How's that for a hot take? | ||
| Speaking of hot takes, it's not a hot take to say that Joe Biden won, rather did not win the 2020 election, that President Trump did. | ||
| I know some of our other friends in media have a little harder time saying that. | ||
| But the issue of election fraud is not going anywhere. | ||
| It's certainly not gone away. | ||
| And even though we enjoyed a wonderful victory in 2024, there are a lot of people on the state and local levels who are really advocating hardcore for some much-needed changes. | ||
| I'm honored to be joined now by Jordan Pace, who is a representative in the South Carolina House, also the chairman of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. | ||
| He joins us now. | ||
| Jordan, there's a big article talking about how you guys are pushing for certain measures or at least just sort of sounding the alarm on the threat of non-citizen voting, which I would argue was not really comprehensively or adequately addressed even in 2024, certainly not in 2020 and probably every election preceding it. | ||
| But can you sort of walk the audience through the glaring issues, loopholes, errors that you think currently exist and how you guys are going about trying to fix them on the state level? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, this really started all the way back in the 1990s with the It's usually called the Motor Voter Act. | |
| I think it was 1994. It required state agents or states that received this money, ostensibly for roads and various other strings, to register everyone who goes on government welfare of any kind, to offer them the opportunity to register to vote. | ||
| Well, what that's turned into... | ||
| States like South Carolina spending gobs and gobs of taxpayer money is to send voter registration forms repeatedly to non-citizens. | ||
| So folks that are here legally or illegally, but we know for a fact that at least some legal non-citizen migrants brought it to our attention last year. | ||
| To our former chairman of the Freedom Caucus here in South Carolina that she had received form after form after form from state agencies showing her how to register to vote and asking her if she wants to register to vote. | ||
| And she brought it to us saying, hey, I'm not a citizen. | ||
| This is not right. | ||
| How many people are getting these forms and don't have the integrity that this lady had? | ||
| We don't know. | ||
| And actually, we found out today, actually just a few minutes ago, got a notification that our current director of our state election commission is under investigation by SLED, our state law enforcement division. | ||
| So it is quite a mess. | ||
| And there's a reason that voters in South Carolina and in states all over the country don't feel like our I mean, shoot, good grief in South Carolina, we have a supermajority in both houses of Republicans, and we can't even get closed primaries done, much less in this other stuff about actually auditing elections. | ||
| Less than 1% of our precincts are audited in any given election, audited by hand, but we can't even get closed primaries. | ||
| And there's a reason why In states like South Carolina, where we have supermajority, that we're competing with states like Connecticut for the last 10 years on the number of conservative policies that have been enacted. | ||
| It is not a good thing. | ||
| But we have the opportunity now, thanks to shows like yours, to connect people beyond just the mainstream corporate media. | ||
| And let voices be heard that haven't been heard before. | ||
| And I think it's starting to turn the tide as far as elections here on the state level. | ||
| And I'm curious your thoughts. | ||
| I mean, the fact that we can't even answer the question, right, how many non-citizens voting or how rampant or widespread is this problem, I think sort of then presupposes the idea, right, that there is a problem. | ||
| If you can't answer it, it doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist. | ||
| It means that we can't quantify it. | ||
| But you say that, at least in South Carolina, you guys have a supermajority, I understand, 12 or so states as part of the State Freedom Caucus network are sort of co-sponsored or collectively advocating for this. | ||
| But where would you say or assess that a lot of the opposition to your election integrity efforts are coming from? | ||
| In other words, do you think that it's more so the Democratic Party or are you feeling backlash even from your more established Republican counterparts too? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, in South Carolina House, there's only like 36 Democrats. | |
| They can't do anything on their own. | ||
| It is the teaming up of those Democrats and then the moderates within the Republican caucus that have brought... | ||
| That have blocked our attempts at closed primaries, that have blocked our attempts at paper ballots, that have blocked our attempts to remove funding for the failed system of going through the voter rolls, that it turns out they weren't actually doing it, that all the other states, that Texas and Florida have left. | ||
| A lot of our colleagues didn't even know what it was. | ||
| We tried to get that out. | ||
| In last year's budget, our former chairman, when he brought up this issue of these voter registration forms going to non-citizens, we tried to cut that as a proviso in our state budget to tell our agencies, stop doing this. | ||
| And the pushback from our Republican colleagues was, well, what if we lose federal funding for Medicaid and all these other programs? | ||
| And our response back then was, What state lost federal funding when they defied the federal government and legalized marijuana or defied the federal government in the first Trump administration and had these sanctuary cities in their states? | ||
| If they're not going to cut our Medicaid funding—cut the Medicaid funding for having sanctuary cities— I'm curious, when you're debating this with your colleagues and they're trying to make the pitch saying, oh, this is why we don't support it, is the rationale that they just have an alternative idea as to how to secure elections, or are they not even really engaging with you on face value? | ||
| What's their pitch? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, whenever we bring this up in South Carolina, when we have, it's that we have safe elections. | |
| I mean, when we brought this up last year, our governor... | ||
| We went and told SLED to do an investigation to see if any laws had been broken. | ||
| That's not even what we brought up. | ||
| Our whole point wasn't that state laws were being broken. | ||
| Our point was we're spending money on these things that we shouldn't be spending money on, and there isn't a law in place to stop it. | ||
| That was our whole point. | ||
| Of course, his report came back and said, oh, no, laws were broken. | ||
| Everything's fine. | ||
| That's not even what we were bringing up. | ||
| So, I mean, essentially their answer is, everything's fine. | ||
| Why are y'all freaking out? | ||
| Like, why are we making this a big deal? | ||
| So how can our audience, the most grassroots activist engaged audience that I think exists, how can they help you help your fellow State Freedom Caucus members and representatives? | ||
| How can they help get this legislation across the finish line? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so the best way is to... | |
| Check out our substack. | ||
| We put this information out, South Carolina Freedom Caucus, on our email news list. | ||
| If you want to follow me, my website's jordanpace.com. | ||
| I do an email, too, about updates with this. | ||
| If they want to contribute to what we're doing, I mean, our leadership opposed us last year pretty strongly. | ||
| I mean, they spent millions of dollars trying to oust our members. | ||
| Thankfully, all of our members who ran for re-election. | ||
| We're reelected by huge margins because the grassroots are behind us. | ||
| We're trying to fight, and the grassroots, like I said, I think appreciate that. | ||
| So contributing to our cause, like I said, we get outspend 10 to 1 or worse. | ||
| But being able to fight back and due to the support from grassroots is what lets us move things in the right direction, and I think we are. | ||
| Yeah, so that's the best way to do it. | ||
| And we've got some more stuff in the works. | ||
| We're going to file some bills very shortly. | ||
| And our legislative season just started yesterday. | ||
| So we've got some bills coming down the pipe to make things less hot, less friendly in South Carolina for folks who are not here legally. | ||
| We'd love to hear it. | ||
| If people want to follow you, where can they go to do that? | ||

| Jordan, thank you so much for joining us in Mormon Posse. | ||
| In the meantime, I think we're going to be joined after the break by Julie Kelly. | ||
| Give us a rundown on all the hearings that are happening today. | ||
| And of course, the January 6th, the law fair, they have an interesting, shall we say, rebrand that they're trying to attempt to go after President Trump once he's out of office because these people are sick. | ||
| They're like, what? | ||
| You cut the head off and metaphorically come back with even more of a vengeance. | ||

|
unidentified
|
You're very, very, very, very likely to be confirmed and certainly look forward to working with you in your office on the issues. | |
| That I've raised today and more. | ||
| Will it be your advice to the president? | ||
| No, Mr. President, I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do not issue blanket pardons. | |
| Will that be your advice to the president? | ||
| Senator, I have not looked at any of those files. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If confirmed, I will look at the files for the pardons as well as the ongoing investigation. | |
| And will you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one? | ||
| I will look at every file I am asked to look at. | ||
| Of course you won't. | ||
| So will you advise the president? | ||
| Can I answer the question? | ||
| I would have plenty of staff. | ||
| You said, of course you won't? | ||
| You'll be able to review hundreds of cases on the first day? | ||
| I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you. | ||
| All right, let me ask another question. | ||
| You don't want to answer that. | ||
| Let me answer another question. | ||
| You were censured by Congress, Senator, for comments just like this that are so reckless. | ||
| I guess blanket pardons for me, but not the in the case of Adam Schiff v. | ||
| The Jan Sixers, but even better in the case of Pam Bondy v. | ||
| Adam Schiff, I think. | ||
| The score is Pam... | ||
| One, Adam Schiff, like negative 55 maybe? | ||
| He totally got beat up by her. | ||
| We love to see it. | ||
| We are joined now by Julie Kelly, who's going to break all of that down for us. | ||
| Julie, you've obviously tracked really the, I think, railhead of so much of the DOJ stuff, the January 6th. | ||
| Prosecutions, persecutions, take your pick and your vernacular. | ||
| Your thoughts on the hearing today? | ||
| Well, I mean, Natalie, I think that Pam Bondi is someone we could totally hang out with, right? | ||
| That's right up our alley. | ||
| She totally shoved it up Adam Schiff's You Know What, and that was just a delightful moment. | ||
| So I like her. | ||
| I think she was very measured. | ||
| She didn't seem overly prepared, which is good because she came across, I think, very genuine. | ||
| She has seen how this works, right? | ||
| She understands what this committee was going to do, what the Democrats have done. | ||
| And furthermore, what was even more gratifying is her saying, why is everyone so worried about prosecuting Liz Cheney or Jack Smith? | ||
| Why aren't you worried about protecting your own constituents in California? | ||
| She started to kind of tick off some of the increases in crime rates in California. | ||
| So she's got good political instincts, which is... | ||
| Nice to see, because I don't think you could say that about some other DOJ picks from the president, at least his first term. | ||
| So I think she came across very well. | ||
| I liked her passion. | ||
| I liked her answers. | ||
| I think she kept some of her answers sort of close to the best, which is fine. | ||
| But Democrats, once again, embarrassing themselves in another performance related to the confirmation hearings for Donald Trump's cabinet. | ||
| It certainly wasn't as intense as I would say the Pete Hegseth hearing was. | ||
| I even think the Washington Post, what was it yesterday or two days ago, when they put out their slate of endorsements for President Trump's cabinet secretaries, or at least people who need Senate confirmation, I believe Pam Bondi got the go-ahead from them. | ||
| From your perspective, how do you sort of reconcile the idea that the establishment is maybe a little more favorable towards her? | ||
| Or again, she did get some tough questions today. | ||
| But do you think that she will have the ability to sort of, you know, carry out and execute a lot of the things that you've talked about, that we've talked about on this show for years now? | ||
| Or what's your sort of, you know, again, it's all hypothetical, but what's your sort of assessment of that? | ||
| I was pretty optimistic watching her today, watching her demeanor, see that she's willing to sort of go right back at Democrats or trying to attack her integrity or. | ||
| Or the integrity of the president. | ||
| So she was a very forceful defender of the president as well as condemning the weaponization of the DOJ related to going after President Trump. | ||
| I thought it was very smart of her on several occasions to note the fact that three-quarters of Americans do not trust the Department of Justice. | ||
| And that is not because of Donald Trump. | ||
| That is because what they've done to Donald Trump and, of course, his supporters and people like the J6ers. | ||
| So I'm pretty hopeful now after watching how she conducted herself today. | ||
| But, Natalie, I think what really came across today is this was sort of a dress rehearsal for the confirmation hearings for Kash Patel. | ||
| I think probably half, maybe a third or half of the hearing was devoted to comments that Kash Patel has made, his enemies list, so to speak, that he describes in Government Gangsters. | ||
| And they are really prepping to I do think, you know, they tried to land a few punches on Ms. Bondi today, but they are saving their fire for cash. | ||
| That was clear. | ||
| I want to play a clip for you, sort of segueing into how they are keeping this lawfare alive desperately. | ||
| It's absolutely insane. | ||
| Denver, if you want to roll. | ||
| War Room's favorite, Glenn Kirshner, talking about some actual conspiracy theories. | ||
| Denver, let's roll it. | ||

|
And that trial out in Arizona is scheduled to begin about a year from now, January 2026. And here's the thing. | |
| Evidence of the crimes of one co-conspirator, whether that person is indicted or not. | ||
| is generally admissible against all of the other co-conspirators. | ||
| It's called co-conspirator liability. | ||
| So what does that mean? | ||
| Well, come January 2026, when Donald Trump will be presumably finishing up the first year of his second term as president, America could be seeing the evidence of Donald Trump's 2020 Election subversion crimes playing out in that courtroom in Arizona. | ||
| And I, for one, I'm there for all of it. | ||
| Because justice matters. | ||
| The clown. | ||
| Are you there for all of it? | ||
| He is such a clown, that guy. | ||
| That's not a real man. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| But you also, just like Michael Cohen, I think you, sir, need some TRT. By the way, my favorite part of that whole clip is when he gets the little smirk on his face. | ||
| He's like, when presumably President Trump's going to be finishing his term. | ||
| But Julie, this obviously is coming on the heels. | ||
| This is the reporting. | ||
| A few days ago, Arizona AG Chris Mays, who, with the relevant backstory, right, people, we've covered this story. | ||
| Very closely on the show, Norm Eisen and his group, the State Democracy Defenders, they essentially funded AstroTurf, sort of crafted the lawfare that they used out there to go after. | ||
| All the co-conspirators sort of, I would say, an arrow in the quiver of the lawfare attempt. | ||
| So now it seems like, if I'm not mistaken, they're sort of pooling all their resources. | ||
| They're outsourcing it now to Arizona, buying their time until they say 2026 or post-President Trump leaving office, how they're going to want to bring these cases back. | ||
| Am I wrong to sense the pattern that it seems like they're in a holding pattern and they're using Arizona as sort of the reservoir for all of this murky lawfare? | ||
| It appears that that is the case, and that is why you had the Arizona Attorney General ask for the entire file of Jack Smith's prosecution against the president related to January 6th. | ||
| And, of course, Jack Smith, Merrick Garland. | ||
| I released Jack Smith's J6 report earlier this week. | ||
| Natalie, that lasted about, you know, interest in that lasted about 13 seconds because what else can possibly be said? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| But Glenn Kirshner, as usual, because he is a lying blowhard, I actually sat next to him. | ||
| The last hearing in Judge Chutkin's courtroom in September, and he's not getting his fingernails dirty. | ||
| He doesn't either understand this or he is intentionally lying to his audience, probably both. | ||
| But none of the material that the Supreme Court determined was immunized from prosecution, which represented Almost all of Jack Smith's J6 indictment, which is why he had to gut part of it after the Supreme Court immunity ruling. | ||
| And Natalie, even if the president would have lost and they would have gone forward to the Supreme Court again with this J6 indictment pared down, they would have gutted it again. | ||
| There would have been nothing left of this. | ||
| So for Glenn Kirshner to suggest that some of the president's immunized conduct can be part of the Arizona proceedings because it's state and not federal, Either he's a moron, which he probably is, or he is intentionally lying to his audience because he's got to keep the shtick going, right, Natalie? | ||
| I mean, his show, Justice Matters, it's over now. | ||
| I mean, what are you going to cover? | ||
| What are you going to try to sell people to get clicks on your show? | ||
| So this is their last, aghast, desperate attempt to try to make people believe, or at least the left believe. | ||
| That there's still something there when there's absolutely nothing there. | ||
| It's so cringe. | ||
| That's the only word that I have to use. | ||
| I know that might be a vapid and reductive, but I think it sums it up quite nicely. | ||
| Julie, just give me a minute real quick on where we stand on the pardons for the Jan Sixers as we approach the high noon, January 20th in the year of our Lord, 2025. Yes. | ||
| So, Natalie, you know, there's a lot of excitement, but also anxiety in the J6 community. | ||
| And, of course, all of us who have been covering this, the president has sat on the campaign trail and after the election to issue something on day one. | ||
| So I think that that is a legitimate expectation. | ||
| There are going to be some trickier convictions and prosecutions charges that the president will have to deal with, of course, those assaulting police officers, regardless of. | ||
| The circumstances there and also, you know, heavy charges like seditious conspiracy. | ||
| So that may take a little bit more time. | ||
| But I do believe the president, when he says he wants to take day one action, and if he does issue pardons on the low-level misdemeanors, what we call kind of the starter pack, the four or five top misdemeanors, hundreds of J6ers will be pardoned because that represents the bulk of the caseload. | ||
| Julie Kelly, as always, thank you so much for joining me and the audience here in the War Room. | ||

| I'm also Real Clear Investigations. | ||

| And of course, hometitlelock.com. | ||
| Don't let any of these bad faith cybersecurity hackers and actors get access to your home title. | ||
| And by the way, you know the left deals in projection, right? | ||
| They will say the quiet part out loud. | ||
| They will project onto you what they are really thinking. | ||
| So when they say that we can't pardon the January Sixers because then they will think that they will be able to get away with trying to subvert democracy, insert BS jargony catchphrase, Atlantic Council think tank cooked up weird phrase there, they say then they'll think that they'll be able to get away with it. | ||
| Well, how about this in the same vein? | ||
| If all of these people who committed crimes and waged war against this country and its people, or sorry, I should specify citizens, because you waged war using non-citizens, illegal immigration, that's a euphemism if I've ever heard it, well, they're just going to keep doing what they're doing if there are no lessons learned and there's no accountability or there's pardons for them and they get away with it. | ||
| They've never had to deal with actual accountability, like I said. | ||
| That's why they're giving Trump, what is it, I think he's now going to have over $500 million in his war chest come inauguration day because all of these evil, depraved globalist corporations know that they broke the law. | ||
| Well, you're a little late to the party. | ||
| Just a little. | ||
| They will tell you the language that they speak in, and the language that they speak in is that pardons mean no accountability. | ||
| Prison sentences. | ||
| That's where you find accountability. | ||
| Not strongly worded letters. | ||

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| You know, I think there's going to be a lot of turmoil ahead, especially for those of you who've been watching these Senate confirmation hearings. | ||
| If those are the idiots, the low IQ, shall we call them, grundoons, who've become United States senators, if those are the people making the decisions, I don't think you should put your financial future in their hands. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash bandit. | ||
| Especially you. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Senator Maisie Hirono. | ||
| That one in particular. | ||
| I don't know how she got there, but I guess that's above my opinion. | ||
| And Tammy Duckworth, that's pretty bad, too. | ||
| It's all bad, really. | ||
| I thought with COVID, we decided that the government overbearing Karen mentality was out of style. | ||
| It never was really in. | ||
| But I guess apparently with these hearings, they never really learned that. | ||
| I'm ashamed to be, I guess, a woman in politics, if those are my counterparts. | ||
| Speaking... | ||
| People in politics who you just want to go away but seem to keep interjecting themselves in the conversation. | ||
| No, I'm not talking about Adam Kinzinger or the Never Trumpers. | ||
| I'm talking about, well, I guess he's a Never Trumper to his core. | ||
| And that is Mr. Mike Pence, who came out today. | ||
| We can put the article up on screen. | ||
| Of all the nominees, Mike Pence urges senators to oppose the RFK Jr. confirmation. | ||
| Well, Mike. | ||
| I guess those big pharma checks must be hitting really nice. | ||
| You want to buy, what is it, the second home, the third home? | ||
| So you're going to shill out for Pfizer or Moderna, take your pick, right on the same day that, what, they just announced that, I guess, red food dye, what is it, number three or something is now banned, or will be at least by the FDA. So maybe it's big food that's paying you. | ||
| What a disgusting excuse of a man. | ||
| In the same way that Mike Johnson and so many of these congressional Republicans stand up there and hide behind the shroud of their what, you know, biblical worldview and the way that they speak. | ||
| Oh, I'm Mr. Morality and we have to oppose RFK Jr. because he at one time in his life was pro-choice and he could maybe still be pro-choice. | ||
| Mike Pence. | ||
| I'd like to bring you back to a little date called January 6, 2021, where you, sir, were directly responsible for ushering in, now you probably thought I was going to say the most illegitimate regime in the United States history, but no, probably the most radical crazed pro-abortion regime that has ever existed on the face of this earth. | ||
| So spare me the moralizing. | ||
| The pro-life ivory towerism from you, when in reality, I would put money on it, more money than you're probably receiving from Pfizer and Moderna, that they are paying you. | ||
| Hand over fist to shill against RFK Jr. You have no courage, and we saw that on January 6, 2021, and shame on you for coming out and daring to speak against someone who has stood up, | ||
| not just against the Democratic establishment, but probably the most ossified and intense bureaucratic lobbyist-supported funded entity and apparatus that exists that is the codified big pharma regime that runs so much of this town. | ||
| And you now have the nerve. | ||
| First of all, who gives a damn what you think? | ||
| You think senators are going to listen to you? | ||
| No one cares. | ||
| But even if they did, what a disgusting use of your time. | ||
| And to hide behind, oh, I'm Mr. Morality. | ||
| I'm Mr. Faith. | ||
| You are responsible for the regime whose death count, not just when it comes to abortions, but domestically, globally, everywhere, from the corners of Afghanistan to Ukraine. | ||
| To our southern border, to our northern border, to East Palestine, to California, you're responsible for that. | ||
|

|
Oh, but RFK Jr., the babies, shut up. | |
| Where do you get off? | ||
| You have so much courage. | ||
| Now you can tell everyone that they should oppose RFK Jr. Maybe you should have opposed election fraud on January 6th. | ||
| Maybe you should have held the line and defended the Constitution like an actual man, or maybe we'll throw you in the same category as what Michael Cohen and Norm Eisen and Glenn Kirshner and all these alpha males who are so strong that the best they can do is beg for blanket preemptive pardons. | ||
| Chuckle about how they want President Trump to be assassinated and then take cash from Pfizer and Moderna, the same companies that are responsible for probably killing their wives and making their daughters unable to have children because, yeah, that's what the vaccine does. | ||
| So I hope it was worth it, Mike Pence, not just your actions on January 6th, but now all the big pharma money that you're taking to shill against RFK Jr. because you certainly don't have any morality grounds to stand on. | ||
| Not that you ever did. | ||
| Someone who does actually have moral grounds to stand on. | ||
