| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's one time I got a free shot on 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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| Tuesday, 18 March, Year of the Lord 2025. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody has the opportunity as we build the alternative economy. | ||
| And this is what we do by supporting so many of these small companies that are on the rise. | ||
| One company that's not that small is Patriot Mobile. | ||
| The service is incredible. | ||
| The service folks you talk to are all American citizens. | ||
| You know all the great work they do in Texas. | ||
| In fact, we're going to have Beau French on here. | ||
| Later, talking about getting a doge down the state of Texas. | ||
| Beau French, head of the Tarrant County Republican Party, done such a great job down there. | ||
| Go to 972-PATRIOT. | ||
| Talk to him today about the free changeover of your phone to this service. | ||
| Do it today. | ||
| Patriot Mobile. | ||
| A company that supports your values, the values of the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| So make sure you check it out today. | ||
| Glenn Stewart and the team. | ||
| Couldn't be a better group of fighters. | ||
| And the service on the phone is absolutely spectacular. | ||
| 972-PATRIED. | ||
| Go check it out today. | ||
| Put in promo code BAN and get a free month as you shift over. | ||
| Mike Davis, continue on. | ||
| I want you to pick up exactly the stream, and then we'll get into how we go on offense. | ||
| This outrage. | ||
| Of the challenge of President Trump with planes in the air of these terrorist criminals sending them back from Venezuela and people were yammering about due process, all this. | ||
| This justice, this judge is out of control and he thought this through about how to try to trap President Trump in his actions. | ||
| Did he not, sir? | ||
| He did. | ||
| So we were talking about how Judge Oli started this two weeks ago when he told the president of the United States he couldn't do a national security review on $2 billion in foreign aid. | ||
| So Judge Oli wanted this money apparently to get out to his Islamist terrorist buddies, right? | ||
| And so they got it out there, right? | ||
| Or at least part of it. | ||
| And so fast forward, and they got it out there because the Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett were too scared to do their jobs, as we were talking about. | ||
| They want to say it's a TRO, it's not appealable. | ||
| Okay, Professor Barrett, good work. | ||
| Because here we are two weeks later. | ||
| And we have these activist judges, particularly in D.C., but all over the country, sabotaging the president of the United States, the presidency, his core article to power. | ||
| And again, before it was personnel matters that are bad, but not a national security crisis. | ||
| Now these judges have created a national security crisis. | ||
| When this D.C. Obama judge... | ||
| Jeb Bosberg, people say he's the moderate one, so I guess he's only 95% Marxist instead of 100% Marxist, so he's moderate in D.C., right? | ||
| And so he runs into his chambers on Saturday during the middle of a national security operation, a secret national security operation that President Trump is handling in conjunction with the Salvadorian president, | ||
| where they are trying to secretly get out of our country the most vicious terrorist in the Western Hemisphere, Trendy Aragua gangs, along with MS-13 gang members. | ||
| And during the middle of this national security operation, this Judge Bosberg runs to his chambers and holds a hearing, right, which publicly exposes the fact That this national security operation, this military intel and law enforcement operation is ongoing, | ||
| putting American lives in grave danger along with the lives of our allies. | ||
| And so he exposes this operation through his court proceeding. | ||
| He says the hearing was closed. | ||
| Well, it's not in a SCIF, right? | ||
| This hearing will leak out, and it did leak out, right? | ||
| And so then, not only did this judge Create a very dangerous situation for American military intel, law enforcement officials, along with our allies. | ||
| He actually ordered the planes, the president, to turn around the planes full of these designated foreign terrorists. | ||
| Judge Bosberg said that the president had to turn around the planes. | ||
| Now, the president, of course, wouldn't ignore A court's order, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| But the order was not followed, and the planes safely landed in El Salvador. | ||
| And we saw the video of the handoff from American officials to Salvadorian officials, where there was an intense security operation, well-planned, to hand these. | ||
| Dangerous, the most vicious terrorist in the Western Hemisphere off from American officials to Salvadorian officials to go to this Salvadorian prison waiting for them. | ||
| And Judge Bosberg tried to disrupt this. | ||
| He tried to sabotage this national security operation, which is- 100% unlawful and absolutely dangerous and unacceptable. | ||
| And that is why the Article III project, I've never done this. | ||
| I have called for the president and his administration to ignore this lawless, dangerous order because it puts American lives in danger along with our allies. | ||
| I'm also calling for the House of Representatives to impeach. | ||
| Judge Jeb Bosberg for his sabotage of a national security operation, putting American lives in danger, along with our allies. | ||
| And Senator Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, my former boss, is also very steamed about this. | ||
| He's ordering oversight of these judges and their illegal temporary restraining orders. | ||
| So there's a backlash coming, and I want to say this to the Chief Justice. | ||
| And his wingwoman, Amy Coney Barrett, you have failed to do your jobs. | ||
| You failed to do your jobs by stopping Judge Ali's lawless TRO that ordered the president to send out foreign aid over his national security objection and review. | ||
| And this is the natural and probable consequence of the Chief Justice and Amy Coney Barrett's mindlessness at best. | ||
| I think it's cowardice, right, two weeks ago when they let Judge Ali... | ||
| Judge Ali put TRO, temporary restraining order, on this clearly illegal order, so we're not going to review it because we're the smartest people in the room. | ||
| We're Notre Dame law professors. | ||
| This is, of course, what's going to happen. | ||
| And now we are at the brink with the federal judiciary because we have a circumstance where a judge's order is not being followed. | ||
| And when a judge's order is not followed, what is he going to do? | ||
| Is he going to order his law clerks? | ||
| I want to make sure I want to go back. | ||
| I want to hit rewind for a second. | ||
| You went out of your way when this first started. | ||
| And you and I talked and other people talked. | ||
| We knew that they were going to come and use lawfare and use these courts against President Trump's plan that the American people voted for. | ||
| You were adamant. | ||
| You came on here and first said, hey. | ||
| I want to warn everybody and the administration. | ||
| If you start getting these orders, you've got to comply because that's going to rattle Amy Coney Barrett and Roberts as we go forward. | ||
| So you have to comply. | ||
| Now you've done a huge flip on that. | ||
| I just want to make sure everybody understands. | ||
| You were adamant that even if some of these were egregious, you had to comply with them because it would hurt us as we went up the judicial chain of command. | ||
| Now you're saying that this one is so egregious. | ||
| And it delves into national security where no judge should be sticking around and actually the operations of national security that you're actually recommending to the president that he not comply with it. | ||
| I just want to make sure the audience has your thinking, sir. | ||
| There's not a flip-flop here. | ||
| This is a rare exception. | ||
| The most rare exception where you cannot, as the president of the United States, follow this. | ||
| It's not only a lawless order. | ||
| That's one thing. | ||
| You can still comply with a lawless order and take it up on appeal. | ||
| This is a lawless order that is a grave danger to our national security. | ||
| And that's where the president has a constitutional duty as the commander-in-chief under Article 2 to ignore this lawless and extremely dangerous order. | ||
| It has to be both, right? | ||
| This is dangerous. | ||
| You're putting American lives in jeopardy. | ||
| This judge... | ||
| Could have got Americans and our allies very easily killed by turning around those planes. | ||
| Look, they had a whole military operation in El Salvador awaiting these terrorists. | ||
| They didn't have that same thing in America if you turned around these planes, right? | ||
| So that's one thing. | ||
| And then if you turn around these planes, did this judge know how much fuel was in these planes? | ||
| Did he want them to crash? | ||
| Over the Gulf of America, did he think this through? | ||
| Because he got his ego bruised and because he's such a rabid, Trump-hating partisan, his judgment is clouded. | ||
| And this is exactly why the Trump Justice Department is correct by asking this judge to step aside. | ||
| He is too emotionally tied to this. | ||
| He's unhinged, frankly. | ||
| He's unhinged. | ||
| He should step down. | ||
| He should not only step off this case, he should step down from the bench. | ||
| The House should impeach him. | ||
| Look, these judicial activists have taken off their judicial robes. | ||
| They have put on their political gloves. | ||
| They have climbed into the political arena, and they are throwing political punches, right? | ||
| It is time for the political branches to politically knock out these activist judges. | ||
| So that means cutting their jurisdiction. | ||
| That means cutting their funding. | ||
| It means impeaching them. | ||
| It means removing them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You've got Grassley doing oversight. | ||
| You also want the House in the budget process to cut, I think it's $12 billion to run the federal judiciary. | ||
| Are you recommending that money be cut from there so that they can do less damage? | ||
| Yes, $10 billion. | ||
| And so that $2 billion that the Chief Justice and Justice Amy Coney Barrett let Judge Ali send to his terrorist buddies and to transgender mice, the House needs to cut that directly out of the judiciary's budget, right? | ||
| If they can piss away $2 billion. | ||
| From foreign aid, then we can take that out of, that's 20% of the federal judiciary's budget. | ||
| That shows you the magnitude of what that TRO was. | ||
| So take $2 billion out of the $10 billion federal judiciary FY2025 budget. | ||
| Also, I'm going to get to impeachment in a second, but you're also saying you want legislation, much like they had legislation at the beginning of the Republic, to actually reorganize. | ||
| Is it the D.C.? | ||
| Is it D.C. just only? | ||
| You want specific legislation now to reorganize the D.C. bench, sir? | ||
| I want to bring reforms, is I think what the D.C. people say when they want to destroy your political opponents. | ||
| I want to bring reforms to D.C., of course. | ||
| I don't want to destroy political opponents. | ||
| That would be politically incorrect. | ||
| I want to reform the D.C. district court, and that includes stripping their jurisdiction. | ||
| Why the hell should these radical Obama and Biden Marxist, along with these weak Republican coward judges in D.C., get to set national policies? | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| So what I would do is I would say that if you want an injunction against the government anywhere, it has to be a three-judge panel with two of the judges randomly drawn from a lottery. | ||
| So you can't just go forum shopping to a single judge somewhere and get an injunction. | ||
| You have to have two other judges. | ||
| From around America. | ||
| And in DC, I would say this. | ||
| The DC District Court is clearly underworked. | ||
| They spent all of their time over the last four years persecuting grandmas who trespassed and took selfies on the Senate floor on January 6th. | ||
| All those cases are gone. | ||
| Trump dismissed them and pardoned those who were convicted. | ||
| So they don't have a lot of cases on their hands. | ||
| And so these district court judges in D.C. are bored. | ||
| And now they're sabotaging the presidency, his Article 2 power, because they're bored and they can't. | ||
| I would, instead of the D.C. Superior Court that handles D.C. street crimes, there are like 10 or 11 vacancies on that thing that need to be filled, and it's a bunch of... | ||
| You know, radical activist on the D.C. bar who fills those judges. | ||
| Get rid of the D.C. Superior Court. | ||
| It's unconstitutional anyway, and they're not doing a good job as evidenced by the D.C. street crime over the last four years. | ||
| And then have the D.C. district court judges handle that docket, take that jurisdiction of D.C. street crimes from the D.C. Superior Court. | ||
| And then for all other cases, you just randomly draw judges from around the country. | ||
| It's a lottery. | ||
| So, like Judge Goldberg, Judge Ali, you're going to be handling knife fights in Anacostia. | ||
| Got 30 seconds. | ||
| Where do they go to Article 3 to reinforce our impeachment effort here, sir? | ||

Josh Hammer, The Hammer in Wisconsin, they shared parents are not entitled to know their kid's identity. | |
| You have the right to access the restroom that aligns with your gender identity. | ||
| Time three-year-olds had such a good time tipping the drag queens. | ||
| Would expect kindergartners to know these body part names. | ||
| Keeping gender identity information of minor children confidential from their parent. | ||
| Wisconsin is making gender identity resources available to preschoolers. | ||
| Okay, Tina Deskovich joins us, co-founder of Moms for Liberty. | ||
| So, ma 'am, today's the beginning of, I think, early in-person voting in the state of Wisconsin. | ||
| Why are you guys tangled up in an election of a state Supreme Court justice, Tina? | ||
| Well, as you know, Steve, we're involved in all kinds of elections. | ||
| First and foremost, there's over 400 school board races happening on April 1st, but early voting starts today. | ||
| And we are, of course, obsessed with those and who is sitting on school boards. | ||
| And so we have about 20 candidates that we have endorsed or our chapters have endorsed and others that we're helping around the state to get across the finish line. | ||
| There's the state superintendent of public instruction race also happening. | ||
| Right now, and of course, the state Supreme Court race. | ||
| And what we learned in the fall of 2024 is when Moms for Liberty gets their get-out-the-vote activities. | ||
| We win. | ||
| And so just for your reference, in November, we were working with over a half a million voters on the ground in Wisconsin and several other states, too. | ||
| But Wisconsin, since we're talking about that today, we focused on about 200,000 low propensity voters, moms that hadn't really voted in the previous four years. | ||
| And we turned out 92 percent of them by Election Day. | ||
| So we know Moms for Liberty can turn out the vote. | ||
| And that's what we want to do for April 1st. | ||
| Low propensity, low information voters are the key. | ||
| Remember, low information has nothing to do with their college degrees, intelligence. | ||
| Some people are not interested in politics. | ||
| That's just the way it is. | ||
| How did you turn out 92% of 200,000, which I would argue might have been the reason that President Trump is in the White House today, winning Wisconsin? | ||
| How did you guys actually do it? | ||
| That also happened in Georgia, North Carolina, and in Arizona. | ||
| And it was actually 94% in Arizona and 93% in Georgia and North Carolina. | ||
| What we did is we did mom-to-mom conversations. | ||
| We had our leaders, our ambassadors, our chapter chairs write personal postcards to them, inviting them to join the fight, inviting them to vote on election day. | ||
| She froze. | ||
| Let's try to reboot her. | ||
| I want to bring in Josh Hammer. | ||
| Let me bring in Josh Hammer. | ||
| Josh, I've got a lot of stuff to go through with you today. | ||
| First and foremost, can you talk to me about this race? | ||
| How important is this Supreme Court race? | ||
| In the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, sir. | ||
| Steve, you're talking about one of the most important swing states in America. | ||
| I mean, Wisconsin was part of the blue wall that Donald Trump was able to pierce back in 2016 there. | ||
| The Supreme Court in Wisconsin has dramatically overstepped in previous years when it comes to election law, when it comes to law and order, when it comes to illegal immigration there. | ||
| So it's an extraordinarily important election. | ||
| In a lot of these swing states, the control of the court ultimately comes down to one seat. | ||
| So it is to the case in the state of Wisconsin there. | ||
| You know, not every state has these judicial elections. | ||
| I mean, the way that the judiciary works is a state-by-state basis there. | ||
| So when you live in a state, if you are a grassroots activist, if you are someone who cares, frankly, just about your state, about the country, about all the issues, and you actually live in a state where you have the opportunity to vote to actually elect Supreme Court justice, you better get off your rear end and do it. | ||
| Because, frankly, not every American actually has an opportunity. | ||
| I mean, whether it's the Missouri plan, advice consent, a lot of people just don't have the opportunity. | ||
| So you better take advantage of it if you live in Wisconsin, I say. | ||
| Josh, you're part of the posse over working with the Viceroy, Mike Davis. | ||
| Mike, you guys are going on offense now. | ||
| I want to ask you, is it that dire? | ||
| Is this situation as dire as Mike Davis lays it out, as I happen to believe it is, but I'm not like you. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| Do you think this constitutional crisis that we're hurtling towards requires the kind of remedies that we are talking about and Article 3 is talking about, sir? | ||
| Steve, ever since I was a first-year law student, I have been yelling from the top of my lungs about presidents and the Congress in particular and reigning in lawless judges. | ||
| I have been of the opinion literally since I first read the Constitution cover to cover that judicial impeachment is one of the most underutilized tools in American history. | ||
| I mean, when is the last time that we have actually had a concerted effort and a successful effort at that to try to actually impeach a federal judge? | ||
| We've seen no shortage of opportunities to do exactly that here in this second Trump administration, whether it's Judge Bozberg, who I've been calling Judge Bozo. | ||
| It's kind of juvenile, but it's also kind of funny. | ||
| Whether it's Judge Bozo in D.C., whether it's Judge McConnell in Rhode Island or any number of other examples here, there are ample opportunities. | ||
| Judge Amir Ali, the guy who's on the USAID case, also in Washington, D.C. there. | ||
| At some point, you have to throw a shot across. | ||
| I mean, one or two times ago when I was on with you here to talk to the War Room Posse, we were talking about the threat of what I call the judicial insurrection in general. | ||
| And you have to nip this thing in the bud because if you let this fester, if you let this start to spread like a great conflagration, and arguably we actually are already there, but if you let it spread and spread and just keep on spreading there, eventually they're going to devour you. | ||
| I mean, it's kind of like the old video game Pac-Man. | ||
| As Pac-Man starts eating up and eating up with little resistance there, he's going to just dominate. | ||
| So you have to meet force with force. | ||
| It's like James Madison said in Federalist No. | ||
| 51, ambition must be made to counteract ambition. | ||
| That's the entire premise, the entire hinge on which our entire separation of powers construct actually goes here. | ||
| And what that means is that Congress has a ton of tools at its disposal, including but not limited to judicial impeachment that they really ought to do. | ||
| It's time also, I think, to get crafty when it comes to jurisdiction stripping legislation. | ||
| Let's try to strip some of these federal judges of certain types of jurisdiction. | ||
| You can basically strip them of any category of cases that you want to hear. | ||
| If you want to make sure that a case goes to state or local court, not federal court, Congress has clean area authority to legislate in that particular area here. | ||
| But, yes, we at Article III Project mean business. | ||
| I mean, we are not messing around here because, frankly, Donald Trump cannot mess around. | ||
| Because if you let this fester against you, this could devour the entire administration. | ||
| You said, hey, you're going to see a judicial insurrection across the board. | ||
| Is there a theory of the case here? | ||
| Because you do agree with me that this is their principal angle of attack. | ||
| Politically, they're kind of in disarray. | ||
| They're running around trying to get protesters in the street. | ||
| Rachel Mattis trying to do it. | ||
| But this is their principal angle of attack on President Trump. | ||
| And their theory, I think, is to delay is to deny. | ||
| They want to stretch this out over years to take away the power and the urgency of the executive branch, sir? | ||
| Yeah, it's basically death by a thousand cuts, kind of as you just suggested here. | ||
| Now, the judiciary was basically, well, the first Trump administration, there were a lot of thorns in Trump's side. | ||
| There obviously was the Russia collusion hoax and all of that, and Mueller and Comey and all that nonsense. | ||
| But the judiciary really was one of the largest thorns in the Trump side the first time around as well. | ||
| If you go back and look from 2017 to 2021, by my count, It's between 65 and 70 of these so-called nationwide injunctions that the lower court federal judges issued against the Trump administration. | ||
| Steve, that is more than the first 44 presidents of the United States combined actually faced there. | ||
| And so what, you know, right here out of the gate, starting just a couple days after Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20th, they're trying the same thing all over again. | ||
| And the reason, the reason very simply that they are trying to do the same darn thing all over again is that we didn't. | ||
| Put them in their freaking place the first time. | ||
| It's like a bully. | ||
| It's a classic playground bully tactic there. | ||
| If you're going to start socking some punches there and you're going to shrink and cower and say, you know, let me be, then the bully's just going to keep on throwing punches. | ||
| You've got to start throwing a counter punch at some point there. | ||
| Fortunately, as we were just saying. | ||
| Congress and the president have a lot of counterpunches in their arsenal, including judicial impeachment from Congress, and including, from an executive branch perspective, basically what Donald Trump did to Judge Bosberg this past weekend when it comes to the Trenda Aragua deportation to Bukele down in El Salvador. | ||
| You know, I think back, Steve, to the final paragraph of one of my favorite dissenting opinions in recent Supreme Court history. | ||
| So it was the Obergefell case, the same-sex marriage case. | ||
| The late great Justice Anthony Scalia has an on-brand Scalia dissent. | ||
| They're just evicted. | ||
| Eviscerating, eviscerating the horrific, false, false philosophy of Anthony Kennedy, total sophistry. | ||
| And he ends his dissent with a wonderful paragraph where he basically says, and I'm paraphrasing here, but it's a close paraphrase. | ||
| He says, with every exercise of our authority that over exceeds our legitimate boundaries, we only get ever closer to being reminded of our own impotence. | ||
| That's the relevant line there. | ||
| And what I say is that it's time for Donald Trump and this Republican Congress to remind the judiciary of ultimately their own impotence. | ||
| And so you recommend going to the Article 3 project today and for the audience to get the document and call their congressman to activate today on the impeachment of the chief judge over there? | ||
| Totally. | ||
| Article3project.org, Chief Boesberg in Washington, D.C., he's got to go. | ||
| But this has to come from the grassroots. | ||
| Again, we have not had a successful judicial impeachment effort in a very long time. | ||
| So, I mean, just blow up these guys' phones. | ||
| I mean, we have all the tools you need. | ||
| If you go to Article3project.org, we have all the tools you need to use our phone to action, our push to action platform there. | ||
| Get those phones blowing up there in the House Judiciary Committee. | ||
| It has to start with the House Judiciary Committee. | ||
| It starts with Chairman Jim Jordan and all the folks like that there. | ||
| But we have a ways to go, but we have to get this ball rolling. | ||
| There's been a couple even prior to this, Steve, Judge McConnell in Rhode Island. | ||
| I mentioned him earlier. | ||
| There were some congressmen who were talking about impeaching him there, but I think this is the best shot we have, so let's not blow it. | ||
| One of our finest, and I'm so glad you're working with the Viceroy and Mike Davis and the team over there, because Josh Hammer can get down in the trenches with anybody, man. | ||
| He's a fixed band dance guy, but he can also pull the camera back. | ||
| We're going to take a short break here in a moment, and we're going to come back. | ||
| We're going to talk about Israel and civilization, the fate of the Jewish nation, and the destiny of the West. | ||
| Josh, I've had the opportunity now to go through it, read it. | ||
| Really a magnificent work. | ||
| It's going to make a couple, three heads blow up, and we'll get into all that. | ||
| Particularly brethren here on the MAGA right. | ||
| Josh Hammer doesn't hold back, as we wouldn't expect him to. | ||
| The Hammer. | ||

| Starts today. | ||
| Early voting. | ||
| The thing is with these races, as you know, voter turnout is low. | ||
| There's no Donald J. Trump on the ticket. | ||
| There's no presidential race or governor's race to turn out the votes. | ||
| And so we need every person watching in the state of Wisconsin right now, or if you have friends or family in Wisconsin, to encourage them to go vote. | ||
| Early voting starts today. | ||
| The final day to vote is April 1st. | ||
| If you go vote and you bring 10 friends, you absolutely can impact every school board race in the state. | ||
| The state superintendent race and, of course, the state Supreme Court race. | ||
| Where do they go to find out who you guys have endorsed, what your slate is, and about the superintendent? | ||
| Where do they go for that? | ||
| You can go to momsforliberty.org, of course, and we'll be pushing it all out on our Facebook and our Instagram accounts also. | ||
| So please follow us. | ||
| Now, your wingman's over at, she's gone to the swamp, or she's in the Imperial Capital now over at Heritage, is that correct? | ||
| Yeah, so she is helping Heritage bring together all the parental rights groups and working on some initiatives there. | ||
| I saw a picture of her yesterday or the day before sitting next to Linda McMahon at a really important roundtable in Washington, D.C. So, yeah, she is spending a lot of time in the swamp. | ||
| I will stay down here in sunny Florida and hold the fort down with all my heart and soul and put all my effort into it. | ||
| Well, you can hold the fort down pretty well, ma 'am. | ||
| No beating you guys. | ||
| Thank you so much, Tina Deskowitz. | ||
| We'll send everybody. | ||
| Grace, let's get in the chat room. | ||
| If Denver and my production team here, let's get it up on the Chiron. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody goes over. | ||
| First day of early voting. | ||
| I think we're going to have Scott Pressler on this evening. | ||
| Scott is in Wisconsin as of today. | ||
| Josh Hammer. | ||
| Israel and civilization. | ||
| Okay, we've got bombing in Yemen, which a lot of people are not happy about. | ||
| They've got all these warnings, and President Trump's coming in hard against the Persians about this nuclear situation. | ||
| Of course, you've got those of us that say, let's use the Russians and get to some negotiated deal. | ||
| You've got Israel last night finally had enough of this Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas. | ||
| Being jerked around on the Hassas and finally came off the chain last night in Gaza. | ||
| You've got this entire situation in Syria. | ||
| In the middle of this, you put out Israel and civilization, the fate of the Jewish nation, and the destiny of the West. | ||
| A lot of people in the MAGA movement, or some people at least, would say, what in the hell does the Jewish state have any connection at all with the destiny of the West, sir? | ||
| All right, so Steve, I'll take that question and kind of answer it in two ways. | ||
| So the word Israel in the title of this book is something of a double entendre. | ||
| It's referring on the one hand to the modern state of Israel, but it's also referring to the nation of Israel, to the children of Israel, i.e. | ||
| the Jewish people. | ||
| It's really, Steve, the book fundamentally at its core is calling for a Jewish and Christian biblical nationalist restoration. | ||
| That really is what the book is calling for. | ||
| Because I see three hegemonic forces that are seeking to destroy us. | ||
| In no particular order, I see wokeism, I see Islamism, and I see global neoliberalism. | ||
| That's the Klaus Schwab globalism, the homogenizing imperative, the John Lennon imagine, let's eradicate all differences between human beings, the very things that make us human in the first place there. | ||
| But Jews and Christians, we share a unique heritage. | ||
| We share the heritage of the Bible there. | ||
| And I think if we're talking about defending the West, I mean, we were just talking about the law. | ||
| I'm a lawyer. | ||
| I like to define terms. | ||
| What is the West? | ||
| I agree the Western civilization is at a crossroads there, but let's have that conversation. | ||
| What is the West? | ||
| Well, to me, the West is largely synonymous with the Bible, with the biblical inheritance, with the Judeo-Christian tradition going literally as far back as God's revelation to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. | ||
| And, Steve, in the book, in some of the earlier chapters, I painstakingly detail how everything from the English common law to the American founding to so much that we take for granted in our day-to-day lives when it comes to morals, ethics, our rule of law, constitution, all of the above, was really predicated on biblical values and, | ||
| in many ways, Hebrew Bible values. | ||
| The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Book of Leviticus is quoted there. | ||
| You shall proclaim liberty throughout the land and all the inhabitants thereof. | ||
| Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin wanted the national seal of the United States to be Moses parting the Red Sea. | ||
| Abraham Lincoln famously spoke of Americans as a quote, almost chosen people. | ||
| And the book is really a call for Jews and Christians alike to basically fall in love with that which made our civilization great again. | ||
| Now, the other thing that I want to do to answer your question, and this is kind of taking on not just the children of Israel, but the state of Israel component here. | ||
| Steve, I have a whole chapter in the book, and you and I have talked about this privately. | ||
| I have a whole chapter in this book making the MAGA America First case for U.S.-Israel relations. | ||
| Frankly, it's not a very difficult chapter to write because it's literally just Donald Trump's presidency. | ||
| I basically explain what Donald Trump's mentality was on all of these issues there, ultimately culminating in the Abraham Accords, this transformative peace deal between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. | ||
| Steve, I am a hard-headed foreign policy realist. | ||
| I've been criticizing neoconservatives for longer than most people have even known what the word neoconservative means here. | ||
| I am a realist who looks at every single geopolitical conflict around the world and says, what is in the American national interest? | ||
| What that means is that as a realist, I recognize, as I believe you do as well, that China and the Chinese Communist Party is bar none, period, full stop, end of story, America's preeminent threat this century. | ||
| The relevant question, then, is what can America do to best safeguard its The answer, | ||
| again, can be found in the Trump diplomacy from the first time, in this Abraham Accords-style statesmanship. | ||
| That basically says you embolden our allies in the region to patrol your own neck of the woods in a way that redounds to both of our interests. | ||
| That's the same thing Trump's trying to do in Europe, by the way. | ||
| He and J.D. Vance are trying to encourage the European allies to take care of their own backyard. | ||
| You guys take care of Russia. | ||
| You care so much about that. | ||
| You guys take care of that. | ||
| Let us focus on China. | ||
| It's the exact same thing. | ||
| But the ally in the region, Steve, who shares America's core interests when it comes to the Houthis, all these terrible actors there, it actually really is Israel. | ||
| So the MAGA America first move is to embolden Israel to take care of their neck of the woods because they're taking care of their neck of the woods actually redounds to the American interest and frees us up to focus on China. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| But in that regard, if we get sucked into another Middle East war, and this means any type of military intervention, either by air or land in Persia, about this obviously grievous faults of Democrats about this nuclear situation. | ||
| Don't you believe in working with Russia, some sort of rapprochement, we have to get to a diplomatic settlement there? | ||
| Because if we're sucked into another Middle East conflict, because that will just expand. | ||
| It's just not about taking out their nuclear weapons. | ||
| If you hit, that's going to expand and expand and expand. | ||
| Are you an advocate? | ||
| Because people like AIPAC and these others are just all the time about military intervention and the military option. | ||
| Where do you stand on that aspect of it as far as geopolitically and geostrategically looking at Israel as a partner? | ||
| Personally, for U.S. military action on Iran, I'm not going to call for that today because that's not my stance. | ||
| My stance is basically the Trump stance from the first time around. | ||
| I mean, let's put on these sanctions. | ||
| Let's try to cripple the regime. | ||
| Let's try to get people on the ground to topple this horrific regime. | ||
| I mean, we shouldn't pretend like the Iranian regime, or sorry, the Persian regime, to use your wonderful adjective. | ||
| I mean, let's not pretend like they're anything other than evil. | ||
| Steve, I was giving a speech in Washington, D.C. last summer. | ||
| I actually came into the studio in person to film something there while I was in town. | ||
| And I was talking on these issues, and I noticed someone in the back of the room who was vigorously nodding along. | ||
| So he comes up after the speech. | ||
| Turns out this guy is in his 20s. | ||
| He grew up in Tehran until he was 16, 17 years old. | ||
| He told me that in school in Tehran, their version of saying the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school is all the students stand up and they say, I solemnly vow to do all that I can today to kill the little Satan of Israel and the great Satan of America. | ||
| Like, they actually do believe this. | ||
| And this regime ideally should go. | ||
| That doesn't mean that America should send in the 101st Airborne and start dropping bombs. | ||
| Again, two things can be true at once. | ||
| Geopolitics can be complicated there. | ||
| But generally speaking, we should just basically tell Israel One of the most controversial parts of the book here, | ||
| you go after pretty hard some of the folks on the MAGA right. | ||
| And given the other day you saw that Trump And you saw the takeover of it, at least temporarily, by this demonstration. | ||
| And it was led by at least people that were wearing the shirts and said that they were part of this Jewish student alliance. | ||
| And a lot of people think, say, that when you talk about the woke DEI, you know, neo-Marxist left, a lot of that is driven by some of these Jewish groups like ADL on the left. | ||
| In this book, going after Bronze Age pervert, raw egg nationals, other people that have been part of that kind of the masculinity. | ||
| Well, in that same chapter, I come after the wokeism and the neo-Marxist DEI stuff quite hard. | ||
| You're right that in this particular book, I didn't do an extended treatise on Jonathan Greenblatt. | ||
| I've criticized Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL hundreds of times in the past, including on Tucker Carlson's former Fox News show, actually. | ||
| I called him a disgrace to the Jewish people, actually, if memory serves there. | ||
| I don't mince words when it comes to the ADL. | ||
| I mean, you know, these liberal Jews who are the enemy of not just MAGA, but frankly the enemies of the state of Israel. | ||
| I mean, in many ways, unfortunately, they are Ginos. | ||
| They are Jews in name only who have no actual connection to Judaism. | ||
| You know, I think that one thing that's very important for MAGA voters to understand here, there is a tremendous ideological and political divide in this country between religious Jews, between traditional and Orthodox Jews, and politically liberal Jews and theologically liberal Jews, people like Jonathan Greenblatt. | ||
| I'm a religious Jew. | ||
| And I vote conservative, I vote Republican, as does, guess what, literally everyone in my synagogue. | ||
| I mean, the synagogues that I attend to, you would never find a Kamala Harris voter. | ||
| It's completely unheard of here. | ||
| So in the book, Steve, I repeatedly, time and time again, I excoriate, in no uncertain terms, reform Judaism, which is theologically liberal Judaism. | ||
| In fact, I come after it so hard that many people who read the manuscript said, Josh, what are you doing here? | ||
| You're going to alienate a lot of voters. | ||
| And I said, no, this is actually really, really important. | ||
| One, because I grew up. | ||
| And I know of what I speak, and I've moved very, very far away from it. | ||
| So it's important on those terms. | ||
| But also, these are political liberals who are ultimately calling to destroy America and destroy the West, including the state of Israel there. | ||
| So I come after lots of liberal Jewry very, very, very hard. | ||
| And I certainly have no patience whatsoever for Jonathan Greenblatt, who is a deeply counterproductive force. | ||
| Israel and Civilization by Josh Hammer, one of our leading public intellectuals. | ||
| Josh, you're fighting with Article 3 every day. | ||
| Where do people go to get the book, and where do they see any schedule of events that you have, sir? | ||
| Steve, always a pleasure, my friend. | ||
| So the book is currently temporarily out of stock on Amazon. | ||
| That's how quickly we're selling copies, which is pretty crazy. | ||
| So you can go to Barnes& Noble, Books a Million, or you can order Amazon, but you might just not get it until next week. | ||

| Bo French joins us from Texas. | ||
| Bo is head of this amazing Republican Party down there, which kind of unified everybody in Tarrant County. | ||
| Bo, Axios is breaking, or excuse me, Punchbowl. | ||
| Jake Sherman and the team, who are most dialed-in guys on Capitol Hill, had Paxson in their office yesterday. | ||
| The great Attorney General, General Paxson, gave an interview saying he's thinking of running in a primary against John Cornyn. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, just remember, John Cornyn was booed literally off the stage at the state Republican Party convention. | |
| So he is not well-loved among conservative voters in Texas. | ||
| Ken Paxton, I can't think of anybody who's done more to defend the interests of Texas in Washington, D.C., than Ken Paxton. | ||
| And so he would be a huge upgrade from John Cornyn in the U.S. Senate. | ||
| So pretty excited about the possibility of him running. | ||
| We don't want to lose him as AG, but a topic for a different day. | ||
| Bo, you're a very successful financier, business guy, entrepreneur, you know how to build companies. | ||
| You're calling for, so you're not a politician. | ||
| You're calling for, you want a doge-type entity in the state of Texas to go through for waste, fraud, and abuse. | ||
| Given the fact that it's all run by MAGA conservatives, the statehouse, why would you think they would need a doge, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, that's not entirely true. | |
| You know, we have a speaker of the Texas House who was pretty much elected by the Democrats and a few rhino Republicans who went along with him. | ||
| So unfortunately, we don't have the MAGA Republicans in charge. | ||
| That being said, they did create a committee in the Texas House to act as a doge committee to look at where they could cut waste, fraud, and abuse. | ||
| I just don't have a lot of confidence that they're going to actually do anything, even though there are some great members, even from Tarrant County, where I'm from, who are on that committee. | ||
| But what I have done is just said, look, I put a team together. | ||
| We're going to analyze the budget. | ||
| The state budget is large, $321 billion last biennium. | ||
| And there's lots of room to find waste, fraud, and abuse in this. | ||
| But I put together a group of people. | ||
| Who we are analyzing all this, compiling it all. | ||
| We've built a website. | ||
| You can find it at tx-doge.com. | ||
| And you can see some of the work we've already done. | ||
| We've exposed billions and billions of dollars of potential waste, fraud, and abuse. | ||
| The problem is we don't have an Elon Musk. | ||
| We don't have somebody who can just go in and say, this is what we are going to cut. | ||
| Because President Trump, obviously, can just do those things. | ||
| We have to have legislative authority to do things. | ||
| And so what my hope is with the Texas DOGE project that we've created is we're going to go in and highlight and we're going to enlist the help of people around the state who can also dig in. | ||
| And we've made that very accessible to people to do and help us expose and put sunlight on all this waste, fraud, and abuse so that we can encourage the state legislature to cut these billions of dollars of just wasteful taxpayers spending. | ||
| I think this is why the Tarrant County Republican Party is so successful, is you're a unifier through action. | ||
| How do people get involved here? | ||
| How do people go to the site? | ||
| Because I want to use this as a template around the country where establishment Republicans or radical Democrats, no, no, no, we don't need a doge. | ||
| We don't need anybody looking at waste, fraud, and abuse. | ||
| So where do people go right now, Beau, to join your crusade on this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, the easiest place is my X profile, which is just Beau French TX. | |
| The website is tx-doge.com, and that's where you can see some of the work that we've already started doing, some of the spending. | ||
| I mean, for instance, the Texas government spends $5 million a year on late payment fees, if you can imagine that. | ||
| $11 million on long distance. | ||
| In this day and age with telecommunications the way it is, who spends anything on long distance? | ||
| It's just crazy. | ||
| Even we found $66 million of waste and fraud and abuse in the state employee retirement fund, the teacher retirement fund. | ||
| Some of this waste was foreign travel. | ||
| Imagine that directly out of... | ||
| Teachers Retirement Fund, spending money on foreign travel. | ||
| We found all kinds of abuse, $60 million a year for the Texas lottery to pay its friends. | ||
| We created a $1.5 billion infrastructure fund. | ||
| They've spent zero on infrastructure, but they've managed to spend $9 million on consultants and late fees to those consultants. | ||
| So there's just fraud everywhere, and we're pretty excited about what we're uncovering. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Bo, one more time. | ||
| Your social media handle and the website. | ||
| Where do folks go today? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, on X, it's beaufrenchtx, and the website is tx-doge.com. | |
| Beau French, you have the right stuff, brother. | ||
| Keep fighting. | ||
| Look forward to catching up and seeing how you guys make progress. | ||
| Great to see you. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| This is how things get done. | ||
| Human agency. | ||
| Those folks in Tarrant County, I'm telling you, they are on fire. | ||
| That whole deal was about to turn purple and then turn Texas blue, then it'd be over. | ||
| Tough Texans fought it back. | ||
| Very proud. | ||
| Proud to know them. | ||
| Proud to be part of it. | ||
| The right stuff takes us out. | ||
| Charlie Kirk up next. | ||
| Charlie Kirk now on the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. | ||
| Very appropriate then. | ||
| We lead in with the right stuff. | ||
| Post-Sobics after that. | ||
| Gruber, Eric, and then back. | ||
| You've got Brother Bowling and then back here to the war at 5 o 'clock, 5 p.m. Eastern Time. | ||
| We're already packed from both hours. | ||
| The Kennedy Files, Putin, and executive orders all today at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. |
