| Thank you, Eric. | ||
| Thank you so much for having me. | ||
| And War Room Posse, it's Natalie Winters filling in today for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Friday, April 25th in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| We've got a packed show, All Things Act Blue, Illegal Alien Invasions. | ||
| And I want you guys just, I know we don't take any days off in the war room, but just to remember that this is the weekend. | ||
| That I guess should have been for the White House Correspondents Association. | ||
| If you want to get a good laugh, read the apoplexy that is plaguing, I guess, my colleagues here in D.C. about how the parties just aren't that great anymore because they don't have any money because you guys... | ||
| Wised up. | ||
| You realize that we don't have to watch their propaganda, their BS. | ||
| And before we play the cold, if you guys just want to toss up real quick, just a glorious quote from Politico where people are saying that the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend, they're going to be hugging each other just a little bit longer to try to prevail over, you know, dictator Trump. | ||
| Absolutely wild stuff. | ||
| Denver, let's roll the cold. | ||

It's the accountability! | |
| When a judge orders someone to be brought back from El Salvador, why is no one enforcing it? | ||
| Where is f***ing rule of law? | ||
| They have no problem deporting terrified families, but when a judge tells them to undo the damage, they just don't do it! | ||
| This isn't about law and order, it's about control! | ||
| It's about who deserves protection and who the system sees as disposable! | ||
| If we ignore this, if they can ignore court orders for immigrants, what else can they ignore next? | ||
| Justice without enforcement is a f***ing lie! | ||
| We either fight back now or get used to living in a system that chooses cruelty! | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||

Pray for our enemies. | |
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| This is why 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 line? | ||
|

|
MAGA 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? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | ||
| you you you | ||
| You're back in the war room. | ||
| It's Friday, April 25th in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Natalie Winters filling in for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| We're going to be joined shortly by Mike Davis, who is hot off, fresh off, some White House meetings, some DOJ meetings, and some FTC meetings, but got to address that cold open. | ||
| It's not that often that we play leftist meltdowns, but they are in complete and utter devastation over what's been transpiring, particularly today if we want to toss the tweet up where apparently President Trump | ||
| has crossed the Rubicon by, check this, actually deciding to prosecute criminals in the form of judges who have essentially been harboring | ||
| I'm not just talking about what was happening in Wisconsin, but also out in New Mexico, though just to get my facts right, in that case that judge was actually allegedly... | ||
| Housing a member of a Trendy Aragua? | ||
| Try to square that somehow? | ||
| And the weird people that the modern-day Democratic Party chooses to idolize and mythologize, and in this case, provide shelter to, as how many veterans and actual American citizens are left stranded on the street, though I guess that's only par for the course when it comes to the immigration policy beloved by our fellow Democrats. | ||
| We are joined. | ||
| Mike, I know you've got a hard out. | ||
| We'll bring you in. | ||
| But don't worry, we're going to get into all the Act Blue stuff after this. | ||
| But Mike, you had a bunch of meetings yesterday. | ||
| I wanted you to just deliver what you discerned, what you picked up on. | ||
| I know you were at White House DOJ and the FTC. | ||
| Let's start in that order. | ||
| Who are you talking to? | ||
| If you can share it with the posse and just give us sort of a broad overview. | ||
| Well, I got to meet with Russ Vogt and Dan Bishop and Mark Pialetta at the office. | ||
| I met with Harmeet Dillon today. | ||
| I met with Pam Bondi. | ||
| I met with Todd Blanche, Chad Mizell, Stanley Woodward, Gail Slater. | ||
| I talked with Cash Patel on the phone. | ||
| I've been in communication. | ||
| With Dan Bongino, I met with Andrew Ferguson, the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, along with his team. | ||
| I met with Mark Meador, the new Trump commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission. | ||
| These are all my friends, and I went and checked in on them, and they are doing a phenomenal job for President Trump. | ||
| They are carrying out his policy agenda. | ||
| And again, I say this to the war room posse. | ||
| Just because you're not seeing something in the news does not mean that it's not happening. | ||
| There's a lot going on. | ||
| There's a lot more that's coming. | ||
| And I can assure you, as someone who has no problem voicing my criticisms of our allies in the conservative movement, that we're firing on all cylinders in the Trump administration. | ||
| And just walk us through, are you talking about a timeline of when you think things that are probably more in the war room posse, idealized version of retribution, right, where we find accountability in prison sentences and not just strongly worded letters? | ||
| Is this something that you're just saying there's going to be more time where it needs to play out, or is this stuff already going on behind the scenes? | ||
| Just help put our audience in the room. | ||
| I have to be careful what I say here, because I don't want to get into too much specifics. | ||
| But I would say this, that we faced unprecedented republic-ending lawfare for the last four years, really eight years, going back to Crossfire Hurricane against President Trump, his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter DeVarro, | ||
| who went to prison, Trump supporters on January 6th who were persecuted. | ||
| Justice is definitely coming. | ||
| And so I would say to those who were involved in this criminal conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C., Section 241, lawyer up, because nobody's above the law. | ||
| And I've been talking about this on this show and every other show for several years now, at least three years. | ||
| And I have made very clear that I'm going to make it my mission to make sure that justice is coming, and I'm doing that right now. | ||
| And walk us through, right now, it's all breaking on Twitter, but a lot of these judges, I can't even believe I'm saying this, but actually I guess I can because they're Democrats or activists, judges, non-activists. | ||
| But they were caught harboring, in some cases, allegedly illegal aliens. | ||
| You had the other judge, what was it, in Milwaukee, when they heard that ICE agents showed up, hiding them in her judge's quarters, having them leave through a backdoor exit. | ||
| And now, I guess it's the new Maryland man hoax. | ||
| But I mean, the left is truly breaking down, acting like this is, I believe, as some MSNBC contributors said, that we've crossed the Rubicon. | ||
| On this front, can you walk us through the absurdity of today's latest immigration hoax? | ||
| It is a federal crime to be an illegal alien in the United States, right? | ||
| Every single one of these illegal aliens are committing a federal crime. | ||
| And those who harbor those illegal aliens are also committing A federal crime. | ||
| And those who obstruct immigration law enforcement to get those illegal aliens and arrest them and detain them and get them out of our country, those who obstruct that are committing a federal crime. | ||
| And it does not matter if you are a judge or not. | ||
| You should know better as a judge. | ||
| You know what the law is. | ||
| You are intentionally violating that law, whether you are obstructing federal investigators or obstructing ICE agents. | ||
| Or if you're harboring an illegal alien at your house, these are very serious crimes. | ||
| And so these judges are facing felony charges. | ||
| They are almost certainly going to face imprisonment. | ||
| In this sense, a powerful message to everyone that if judges can get charged for this, every other American is fair game. | ||
| So this illegal... | ||
| Immigration amnesty is coming to a screeching halt. | ||
| President Trump campaigned on this, that he's going to secure our border. | ||
| He's going to enforce our immigration laws. | ||
| He's going to get illegal aliens the hell out of our country, particularly trendy Aragua foreign terrorists and MS-13 gangbangers. | ||
| And anyone who gets in the president's way is going to face the wrath of the Justice Department, including these two. | ||
| State judges who are charged with very serious federal crimes. | ||
| And just a programming note, Warren Posse, in the bottom corner of the screen, President Trump, and I believe I saw the First Lady, Melania Trump, walking down Air Force One. | ||
| They've arrived in Rome. | ||
| Obviously, they're going to be attending the funeral procession for the late Pope, but with disrespect to him. | ||
| Back to you, Mike. | ||
| You used the word wrath, and again, I know you don't speak for the DOJ. | ||
| You are your own person, but I have to ask on behalf of our audience. | ||
| I wouldn't necessarily say that what we've seen out of the DOJ so far, to me, rises to the level of full wrath when you're talking about accountability for people who waged lawfare, some of the people who I think organized this illegal alien invasion. | ||
| Just help us understand if you think that that is coming, and if the reason why we haven't seen it, is it just a time thing, or is there active subversion going on from within these agencies? | ||
| Again, I know you can't necessarily share everything, but just for our audience, who I think is really dying and desperate to see actual names, we haven't had any names released. | ||
| Why do you think there's a holdup on that? | ||
| Well, remember, you have to get officials confirmed. | ||
| Including U.S. attorneys who will bring these criminal charges. | ||
| And I imagine that anyone who is involved with the Crossfire Hurricane conspiracy better lawyer up. | ||
| Because justice is definitely coming. | ||
| This is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. | ||
| Nobody is above the law. | ||
| And there is going to be accountability. | ||
| And I'm going to make damn sure that happens. | ||
| And on that front, obviously the great EO starting an investigation, not just into the smurfing, the small dollar donations, but also the foreign weird credit card donations using ActBlue as a conduit to likely commit mass election fraud. | ||
| I know we aren't allowed to say that phrase on legacy media, but Mike, your take on sort of that whole process, why you think he's entrusting DOJ to go after it, that just whole approach. | ||
| I think that we have a massive Fraud with ActBlue, where they are making donations. | ||
| Apparently, you have big, wealthy donors who are using these straw donors. | ||
| Some of these people are dead. | ||
| They don't know they're making these donations. | ||
| This ActBlue appears to be a massive money laundering conspiracy, a money laundering fraud, a campaign finance violation. | ||
| And I promise, look, I know these Justice Department officials personally, like Pam Bondi and Chad Mizell and Todd Blanch and Emil Bove. | ||
| These are serious people. | ||
| They're not going to just bring charges, you know, Tash Patel, Dan Bongino. | ||
| They're not going to bring charges willy-nilly. | ||
| They're going to methodically build their case. | ||
| And when the timing is right, they're going to bring... | ||
| They're indictments. | ||
| And when they bring their indictments, you're going to know that they're rock solid indictments that are going to win a jury finding of guilt and the court's conviction. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| We'll definitely have to have you back. | ||
| I get called out by the legacy media so much for being apparently a sycophant for the Trump administration. | ||
| See, I ask tough questions, CNN, but Mike Davis, in the meantime, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you guys have going on at the Article 3 Project. | ||
| Where can they go to do that? | ||
| Natalie, the media is always commenting on your clothes. | ||
| What about my clothes? | ||
| Why aren't they commenting on my clothes? | ||
| Hey, you've got to get some more miniskirts, and then maybe they'll start writing. | ||
| Or they'd actually probably praise you if you wore a skirt. | ||
| I don't get that same love. | ||
| I'm too old and fat to wear a miniskirt, so that's not going to work out. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| To these people who want to criticize you, Natalie, for your looks, tell them, go to hell. | ||
| Stop being fat. | ||
| Stop sending their fat slob women to the White House. | ||
| And maybe they wouldn't be such haters. | ||
| So, yeah, go to article3project.org. | ||
| You can follow us on social media. | ||
| You can donate, but only what you can afford. | ||
| And you can take action. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| One of the action items that I think is relevant. | ||
| Is my good friend Jason Redding Quinones, who's President Trump's nominee to be the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida in Miami. | ||
| Let's get him confirmed over the next month or so, and we're off to the races. | ||
| I can already see the headline, Fat Slob Women, bashed by Mike Davis. | ||
| Thank you, as always, for coming on. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| And Warren Posse, we got just a maddening cold open after the break. | ||
| Jake Sullivan decided to bless us with his presence on none other than Rachel Maddow just two nights ago. | ||
| We'll roll that, but in the meantime, make sure you're checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon, texting Bannon to 989898, or like I said, birchgold.com slash Bannon, and find out why gold has always been ahead with all the turbulence and chaos. | ||
| I guess the legal immigration invasion's over. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| Biden's National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, in one of his first interviews since President Biden left office, says that from a national security perspective, in his estimation, Trump's first hundred days in office have been a, quote, unadulterated disaster. | ||
| He says, quote, He says, | ||
| quote, Joining us now is Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor to President Biden. | ||
| Mr. Sullivan, I really appreciate you being here. | ||
| I know you haven't done many interviews and I really appreciate you being here tonight for this one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thanks a lot for having me, Rachel. | |
| I'm struck by the... | ||
| Stark nature of what you said when you say that President Trump is dismantling America's core advantages in the world, the things that have been our major advantages, the things that make us the power that we are. | ||
| You describe him as systematically dismantling those things. | ||
| What are those advantages, and do you see his work against them as being irrevocable? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I wouldn't say this. | |
| I'm not a person who usually speaks in hyperbole. | ||
| I say it because I genuinely believe it. | ||
| You ask, what are those advantages? | ||
| And there are a few. | ||
| It begins with America's unique system of alliances. | ||
| No other power in the world has the strong, capable allies the United States has enjoyed for decades. | ||
| And Donald Trump is intent on busting up those alliances. | ||
| It's our unique capacity to attract talent from around the world. | ||
| We can count on the talent of 7 billion people. | ||
| China can only count on the talent of 1 billion people. | ||
| But Donald Trump is casting doubt on whether... | ||
| Okay, that's enough of the lovely, highly, what, trust the expert Jake Sullivan, who did what when he was National Security Advisor? | ||
| I think plunged the world as close as it probably ever has been to World War III. | ||
| But yeah, keep lecturing us with your, what, Harvard, Kennedy and Yale degrees and fellowships. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The worst part of everything that he bloviated with Rachel Maddow, I guess, condolences to Rachel Maddow, who will be going back to once a week programming, I believe, after or starting this Monday. | ||
| How offensive to say that what makes America great... | ||
| Is that ruling elites like him can pick any one of the 7 billion people who exist across this planet to come and replace you in your own country because I guess you're not good enough. | ||
| That's what makes America great. | ||
| To Jake Sullivan, his ability to treat this country I know we always hear it whenever we talk about the H-1B issue or immigration discourse, but treat this country like a special economic zone where there is no meaning. | ||
| To what it means to be an American citizen. | ||
| I mean, we know that with what they did to the southern border or with what judges are doing by harboring not just illegal aliens, but terrorist illegal aliens. | ||
| At that, I guess, diversity is their strength when it comes to the gangs that they'll be importing into this country. | ||
| Or Chinese nationals, too, or Iranians, take your pick of whatever foreign adversary people like Jake Sullivan think we should leave our border wide open to. | ||
| I mean, I guess the Biden regime made their decision of who of the seven billion people that exist in this world should have been imported to the United States. | ||
| And by the looks of it, they chose terrorists, gang members, wife beaters, and basically everyone from every culture that's disparate from that of Western civilization. | ||
| But I guess don't call it the Great Replacement Theory, or you'll be lectured by Jake Sullivan, who thinks you're only as good as, I don't know, whatever little GDP statistic that you can produce for his weird, I think, encapsulation or ideology of what it means to be an American, which is that you should just listen to whatever lie he's going to tell you about Ukraine or the Middle East, | ||
| basically destroy this country or come right up to the brink of it, and then feel the need to go on Rachel Maddow after writing some op-ed. | ||
| And tell you that actually it's your fault. | ||
| We want to replace you with someone who doesn't even speak English and we're going to make you train your replacement. | ||
| And President Trump daring to reverse that world order, and I use that term intentionally, that's apparently the cardinal sin, the original sin of the Trump administration. | ||
| Thinking that American citizenship should mean something. | ||
| And I don't know, call me crazy, but a version of the social contract where your own government actually helps you. | ||
| You're not asking for handouts or for DEI or affirmative action processes. | ||
| No, you're just asking for your government to not bet against you and import your replacement and make you train your replacement. | ||
| So you can, what, have your wages suppressed and then you're going to have to subsidize the new illegal aliens that are coming in? | ||
| While our allies that Jake Sullivan wants to talk about, this great ally system that we have of, what is it, protectorates? | ||
| Like Steve always says, that's the other thing. | ||
| How dare President Trump ask them to pay their fair share? | ||
| And I guess maybe it's, I don't know, something on, like, the chromosomal level with Democrats, where they just don't understand that, like, citizenship should mean something. | ||
| But now, apparently, that goes all the way to Act Blue. | ||
| Because, as you guys have seen for, what is it, years, the reporting that foreigners, foreign nations, are actually Biden. | ||
| They're plowing probably millions of dollars through ActBlue, though I guess we can't blame it if it's a Democrat platform. | ||
| They don't understand borders or boundaries, but they're using foreign cash to sway elections. | ||
| And in one case, we're going to get into it, but Josh Phillip from the Epoch Times, who does wonderful reporting on Chinese Communist Party subversion, particularly in the case of Michelle Wu, the Boston mayor, who is, you know, the tip of the spear, the resistance. | ||
| Poster girl. | ||
| I don't want to misgender, but I believe poster girl is fitting. | ||
| But it was actually just revealed by a great report in the Daily Caller just last week that a Chinese Communist Party intel officer, an intel asset, who worked for the United Front, which is something that you and I both reported on, sort of the tip of the spear when it comes to Chinese Communist Party political infiltration, | ||
| that he helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for her campaign. | ||
| sort of act blue, I guess, on a microcosm scale or myopic scale, rather. | ||
| But Josh, if you could sort of walk us through this story, and I'm curious just more broadly to get your thoughts on the foreign vertical of the act blue campaign. | ||
| Right, so the key part with all this is the United Front Work Department, which, as you mentioned, Natalie, I know you've done a lot of work on, I've done a lot of work on. | ||
| The important thing to understand is how the United Front Work Department And what its goals are. | ||
| So this individual being accused of, again, tied to these Chinese spy organizations, using his ties to various organizations, not even just that one, to funnel money into the campaigns of politicians. | ||
| He has direct ties, according to the Daily Caller, to the United Front Work Department. | ||
| A lot of that is through the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese. | ||
| Now, what the United Front does, this is a branch of the Chinese Communist Party that is dedicated to doing what they call leadership capture. | ||
| The role of the United Front is to, while work on the front lines of the Chinese Communist Party, which is on American soil, that means these guys are operating in the United States. | ||
| They have public organizations. | ||
| They don't even try to hide it. | ||
| I mean, Natalie, I know you've done a lot of research on this, too. | ||
| You've found individuals like They say it on their business cards half the time. | ||
| They do such a poor job of hiding their ties to these Chinese spy organizations that it's almost laughable. | ||
| They say it publicly. | ||
| They have websites publicly. | ||
| They don't try to hide it at all. | ||
| So what the United Front Work Department will do, it will approach various leaders. | ||
| So it's going to be your politicians, your journalists, your academics. | ||
| Harvard was having a lot of controversies with this. | ||
| It'll approach your business leaders, and it will offer them various forms of bribery or debt traps or whatever else. | ||
| So the Chinese Communist Party will typically offer four different things to people. | ||
| That's going to be lust, meaning honey traps, where maybe there's underage girls, they invite them back to China, or prostitution rings. | ||
| They're having cases of those busted even here in the United States. | ||
| Lust would be one of them. | ||
| They'll videotape it. | ||
| They'll blackmail people. | ||
| That's a big one. | ||
| Another one is going to be money. | ||
| And so, of course, business leaders making business ties with China. | ||
| Sometimes they'll even set up import-export businesses, and they'll use that to funnel money into people's wallets, effectively. | ||
| For example, the Chinese businesses might give them a 50% discount. | ||
| By doing so, it's as if they paid them a million dollars. | ||
| They'll do that. | ||
| Another one's going to be fame. | ||
| A lot of times with college professors, with academics or journalists, it's fame. | ||
| They invite them to China. | ||
| They treat them like royalty. | ||
| You see this a lot with TikTokers and YouTubers right now who are getting offered these trips to China. | ||
| That's one of the main tools they use. | ||
| With politicians, the main one they use would be power. | ||
| And what they will do in that case seems very close to what we're seeing here and very close to what we're seeing with... | ||
| The way they do that is they will have organizations here in the United States. | ||
| They're called tongs. | ||
| T-O-N-G-S. | ||
| You have tons of them. | ||
| There are tongs in New York City. | ||
| There are tongs in Washington, D.C. There are tongs in San Francisco. | ||
| There's tongs all over the United States. | ||
| These are Chinese fraternal organizations. | ||
| Sometimes they'll have tens of thousands of members, at least probably several thousand per tong. | ||
| Some claim to have upwards of 100,000 members. | ||
| And if you work with them, if the Chinese Communist Party uses its united front to win you over, they will donate to your campaign. | ||
| They will bus around voters. | ||
| In New York, this has been publicly disclosed. | ||
| I've personally investigated cases of this, including with former New York City Comptroller John Liu, who was getting direct support. | ||
| Josh, we're going to have to jump to break, but I want to hold you because I think you make a good point that what's happening at the Tom level could potentially be replicated across the country or national and federal levels. | ||
| The Warren Posse will be right back. | ||
| We've also got Mike Howell joining us, so don't go anywhere. | ||
| But in the meantime, you can make sure you're checking out MyPatriotSupply. | ||
| That's MyPatriotSupply.com. | ||
| You never know the way the world is going. | ||
| MyPatriotSupply.com. | ||
| Joe Reek and the team over there, you can help support them. | ||
| And of course, home title. | ||
| HomeTidalock.com. | ||
| Promo code Steve. | ||
| They have a bunch of deals. | ||
| We need you in the fights. | ||
| I think we're going to have a lot of phone calls that need to be made coming up shortly with all this crazy spending stuff. | ||
| That's HomeTidalock.com slash Bannon. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| In the War Room, we're joined still by Joshua Phillip from the Epoch Times, one of, I would say, the nation's leading Chinese Communist Party infiltration experts. | ||
| Josh, I want you to kind of pick up where you left off, this idea of the Tong-style infiltration operation, but being sort of replicated. | ||
| Again, potentially, I think the actual investigation could show some interesting roads leading back to Beijing. | ||
| But if you think that that's being replicated on a national level or where else it may be. | ||
| Yeah, so the reason I was explaining that is because if this were the case, and I know there's accusations on it, I know the House is actually investigating Act Blue right now. | ||
| They're asking for answers on this. | ||
| And I also know that with this recent case, this individual is giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to a political campaign. | ||
| This is how that would work through the United Front. | ||
| And so the point is, one of these individuals has now, in fact, been shown to be with the United Front, like he just says it publicly. | ||
| So it's not a secret. | ||
| The key part with the United Front, though, is not necessarily the stuff in China. | ||
| The key part is the stuff here in the United States. | ||
| The stuff right on American soil, and that's the tongs. | ||
| So the United Front works through the tongs. | ||
| Basically, the way it functions, the Chinese consulate will have representatives. | ||
| They call it liaison work. | ||
| They will approach people. | ||
| They'll get agents. | ||
| But the agents, they work within the tongs. | ||
| And again, these are Chinese organizations, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of members, and they'll do all kinds of stuff. | ||
| It could be, for example, bussing around voters. | ||
| It could be doing get out the vote drives. | ||
| It could be offering, you know, protests or support or whatever else. | ||
| But they also do straw donors. | ||
| This is where the money comes in. | ||
| So, for example, Natalie, you mentioned Act Blue, and there are concerns right now that they were getting foreign money. | ||
| One of the things that Donald Trump himself has brought up is he wants to investigate possible straw donors. | ||
| Straw donors. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| It means that you're making illegal campaign contributions by basically donating money under somebody else's name. | ||
| The accusation against ActBlue is that they were not using CVVs, you know, card verification systems. | ||
| In other words... | ||
| So they can't really verify the origin of donations. | ||
| They can't verify this was a verified donor or something like that. | ||
| If the Chinese Communist Party is, in fact, tied in with this, this is why that's important. | ||
| It's because what they will do, oftentimes, is they'll launder money through the tongs. | ||
| They'll launder money, and they will do straw donors through the tongs. | ||
| And so you'll have usually small donations, oftentimes, not usually big ones. | ||
| And, you know, hundreds of people, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, they can use these networks for those things. | ||
| The other thing that needs to be investigated, though, is if you make a deal with the United Front, if the United Front is there, it is always I scratch your back, you scratch mine. | ||
| There's always something in return. | ||
| Part of that might look as simple as lobbying. | ||
| It might look as simple as them having dinner together or going to China together or something else. | ||
| They'll say, I care about this issue, that issue, and that issue. | ||
| You need to represent these. | ||
| If you remember, the governor assistant in New York who was arrested as a Chinese spy, the one who was working under Governor Hochul, that individual, of course, was also accused of having blocked certain issues that were within the interest of the Chinese Communist Party to block. | ||
| And so they will try to enact Chinese Communist Party issues by manipulating these politicians and using the leverage of the quote-unquote Chinese community when in reality they're not representing real Chinese, they're representing, you know, CCP front organizations. | ||
| They'll use that as the narrative to justify those kinds of things. | ||
| And so to me, this is cut and dry, the kind of stuff that's happening all over the country. | ||
| This is not... | ||
| One official. | ||
| This is not two officials. | ||
| This is not just one organization. | ||
| This stuff is so common, I think people would be absolutely shocked if they understood how broad these systems are. | ||
| Josh, as always, you get into the stuff in a granular way that I think most people on the China beat, probably because they're compromised and paid for, never can because they'd probably lose all their contracts. | ||
| But if people want to stay up to date with everything that you're working on and everything that you guys are doing over at the Epoch Times, we love the Epoch Times, where can people go to do that? | ||
| They can check out my show, Crossroads. | ||
| I'm on YouTube. | ||
| You can go to Crossroads with Joshua Phillip. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| We're joined. | ||
| He's been on sabbatical, but I'm happy to have him back. | ||
| That is, of course, the fire-breathing Mike Howell. | ||
| Mike, so much to get into. | ||
| I would love your thoughts a little bit if you have anything on Act Blue. | ||
| But also, I know you have always called out weak, feckless Republicans for being just that weak and feckless. | ||
| And I could probably use a whole litany of other words. | ||
| But on the mass deportation front, again, maybe I'm coming off as too hard with my mic. | ||
| I think a lot of people are saying justice is coming. | ||
| The deportations are coming. | ||
| All this stuff is coming. | ||
| We don't have the time for this stuff to come. | ||
| We need it now. | ||
| And I think you probably share my perspective on that. | ||
| But your thoughts on if there's anything to do to actually make that materialize or if it's rhinos up to their old tricks. | ||
| Yeah, so first of all, great to be back with you. | ||
| I thought you'd be in a burka and bowing down to the left in the media after they're just ripping on everything you wear all the time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, no, no, it would be a niqab. | |
| That's the full head-to-toe one. | ||
| Burka would be too liberal, apparently. | ||
| Gotcha. | ||
| See, I just don't care enough to let those terms be to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, I'm culturally sensitive. | |
| I mean, the goal and the promise and the mandate from President Trump and then candidate Trump was mass deportations bigger than the level of Eisenhower. | ||
| Eisenhower deported well over a million in a year during a big operation. | ||
| That was named something I can't say on your fine program without getting canceled, but had an illegal total population of much smaller than right now. | ||
| So about four or five million, if I had to guess, no one has the exact number. | ||
| So about 20, 25 percent of the total illegal population in one year. | ||
| That's the standard that President Trump set for himself and his cabinet. | ||
| So far, the numbers aren't trending anywhere close to that. | ||
| That's, for a lot of reasons, some good and some bad. | ||
| They've got a huge reconciliation bill coming down the pike to be announced next week. | ||
| And everyone's going to hear a lot about it. | ||
| People are going to support it and tell you how great it is. | ||
| And it could be. | ||
| It could be. | ||
| I haven't seen the exact text. | ||
| But there's only one number that I'm truly tracking in that bill. | ||
| And that is how many illegal aliens will it allow the administration to deport? | ||
| And that number better have a bunch of commas in it, and it better be a few million per year, because without that, we're not going to meet the mandate. | ||
| Current projections right now are only focusing on the worst of the worst, which I get it. | ||
| The gangbangers got to go home. | ||
| But you know who else has to go home? | ||
| Everyone who's illegally here. | ||
| And you see the rhinos shifting their language and saying they only want to deport the hardened criminals. | ||
| Well, I don't want to sit here and wait for an illegal alien to become a hardened criminal. | ||
| It is a stupid immigration policy to wait for somebody to kill someone before they get deported. | ||
| Let's get them all out. | ||
| Let's do what we told everyone we would do. | ||
| I have the administration's fullback. | ||
| I know Tom Homan very well, and he wants them all out. | ||
| So let's give him what he needs. | ||
| Let's not sugarcoat it. | ||
| Let's be straight. | ||
| It's got to be in the millions, and we've got to get the machinery moving fast because it's not right now. | ||
| Yeah, they're all criminals. | ||
| I don't like the idea that it's the first tranches criminals. | ||
| I mean, first of all, they're all criminals and they all need to go. | ||
| And I think 10 million is maybe even low. | ||
| I've always been a devotee of the OG and Coulter Bear Stearns analysis that, what, it's more on the scale of like 40 million plus, probably, the way that they conduct the census data is so bogus to begin with. | ||
| But I think someone who does channel every day that fire-breathing spirit is, of course, the wonderful... | ||
| Yeah, so Ed Martin is the most important nominee on the horizon and probably for a long time. | ||
| That's because him being there is Absolutely central to this administration's agenda. | ||
| He's up to be the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., the District of Columbia. | ||
| He's already been in the job. | ||
| He is a U.S. Attorney. | ||
| He gets to be for up to 120 days. | ||
| But in order to stay, the Senate needs to confirm him. | ||
| And he needs to be in that job because D.C. has been a crime-ridden, terrible place for too long. | ||
| I moved out of the city myself a few years ago during COVID. | ||
| It has not recovered. | ||
| He is refocusing an office that basically used all of its resources under the last guy to go after J6ers. | ||
| So, you know, 1,600 cases or something crazy like that. | ||
| Meanwhile, the city festered into, you know, crime-ridden, juvenile crimes out of control. | ||
| It's just not safe anymore. | ||
| We got the 250th anniversary of America coming up. | ||
| All eyes will be on Washington, D.C. from around the world. | ||
| We have limited time to get this thing cleaned up. | ||
| And the left is terrified of Ed Martin. | ||
| They absolutely are. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because he's an even-handed guy who will enforce the law, and they don't like that. | ||
| He went after Chuck Schumer for the comments Schumer made about reaping the whirlwind for Brett Kavanaugh and others, where he threatened the Supreme Court justice, and the left lost their mind. | ||
| But what was the result? | ||
| Schumer caved. | ||
| He went to the Senate floor and basically crawled back his comments. | ||
| So he's already getting some accountability, making him retreat. | ||
| But they don't want to see that very important office. | ||
| That was weaponized so harshly under the Biden administration, returned to a neutral and strong force for the rule of law. | ||
| And so they are pulling out all the dirty tricks. | ||
| They're, you know, even reaching so far to say he, you know, was anti-Semitic, which is the most absurd thing and one of the laziest slurs I've heard. | ||
| And it squarely does not apply. | ||
| I think he's cleared the record up. | ||
| He's got massive Jewish support out there. | ||
| Leaders are lining up to back him. | ||
| They see right through these just dirty Democrat tricks. | ||
| And even today. | ||
| He announced an investigation into Wikipedia, which has basically become a foreign intelligence playground from the looks of it. | ||
| It glows big time. | ||
| You see all these big edits happening on issues of national security and foreign policy and cultural issues. | ||
| You wonder who's behind the keyboard. | ||
| I think I have a pretty good idea, and I think Ed Martin's going to figure it out. | ||
| So, powerful office. | ||
| President Trump needs him in. | ||
| President Trump wants him in. | ||
| Hopefully the Senate does what's right for the country, what's right for Washington, D.C. Even the senators, they've got staffers getting mugged all the time. | ||
| And he's taking steps to make sure that on both sides of the aisle, everyone can at least show up to work in D.C. without being afraid of getting, you know, mugged or carjacked. | ||
| We had a member get carjacked a couple years ago. | ||
| It's so out of control. | ||
| And our nation's capital can't be a disgusting crime rate in place. | ||
| We've got to make it beautiful again. | ||
| We've got to make it great again. | ||
| And Ed Martin's the best hope to do that and actually start getting the accountability that everyone you want, I want, rolling. | ||
| It's been too slow so far. | ||
| I think we all agree. | ||
| People say there's reasons for that. | ||
| People say there's not. | ||
| But Ed Martin's the biggest force for accountability out there. | ||
| We need him in. | ||
| I know the process is still underway, but our audience is, I think, claim to fame or maybe infamy as their phone calls actually making real change happen. | ||
| In D.C., are there any names that you can give us of people that they should be calling that they can help you help, you know, the MAGA movement help make sure that he gets confirmed? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So right now, no Republican senators come out and said they won't vote for them. | ||
| But what we're trying to do is... | ||
| You know, get commitments out there. | ||
| So call your allies. | ||
| Call your friends, the officers you love that you'll know be in this fight. | ||
| We need people speaking out on his behalf to lay down the marker and make sure that this is, you know, seen through. | ||
| It is, again, the biggest force for accountability in cleaning up Washington, D.C. The left is all in to take him down. | ||
| Durbin and Schumer and Schiff are losing their minds. | ||
| And so we love to see, you know, everyone up on the Hill wrap their arms around him and hold the line. | ||
| So for now, let's keep those no's at zero and let's hopefully get them through and turn this city around. | ||
| And Mike, real quick, if people want to follow you, support what you guys are working on, what you're doing, where can they go to do all that? | ||
| Oh, you got to come to Axe. | ||
| We're at It's Your Gov. | ||
| It's a, wait for it, handle switch, okay? | ||
| The Oversight Project spun off from the Heritage Foundation with their support. | ||
| Kevin Roberts hooked it up. | ||
| He set us up. | ||
| We're going to rock and roll and expand this. | ||
| This machine, but we added a slogan, and it's Oversight Project. | ||
| It's your government. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because it's your government. | ||
| And so our handle, at It's Your GOV. | ||
| Same with our website. | ||
| Mike Howell, good to see you back. | ||
| You're welcome on anytime. | ||
| Warren Posse, we're going to get into how Ask Blue, if you can believe it, has helped facilitating, facilitated the illegal invasion of America. | ||
| We'll be right back after this short break. | ||

|
Flying into We worked on the immigrant issue, and you know what? | |
| We were prepared for them. | ||
| A number of very small, very big, very medium-sized, really a huge list of nonprofits banded together. | ||
| They put out a statement and give credit where credit is due. | ||
| Senator Schumer held a press conference with all of them arrayed, and they said an attack on one is an attack on all. | ||
| We formed the NATO of NGOs, the NATO of... | ||
| This is collective action. | ||
| Norm? | ||
| That's enough of whatever the heck that was. | ||
| I thought the Contrarians opening video was cringe. | ||
| I think that takes the prize. | ||
| That, of course, was Norm Eisen on the bottom of that, what seemed to be like a FaceTime call because it was so cringe. | ||
| I don't know why anyone would want that to be public. | ||
| But the buried lead there, of course, the term NATO of NGOs, I can't think of. | ||
| Two words are institutions that I hate more or like less. | ||
| But I want to link this to what's going on with the Act Blue stuff. | ||
| Of course, NATO of NGOs, there is almost some military element to that, right? | ||
| And that's because I would pause it, though, despite having significant and copious amounts of help from Western elites. | ||
| Looking at you, Alejandro Mayorkas, in terms of facilitating and orchestrating the illegal alien invasion on this country under Joe Biden and, of course, years prior, there was also a foreign element to it as well. | ||
| And a lot of that was done using NGOs as conduits. | ||
| And while a lot of that work was funded by your taxpayer dollars, just like a lot of the resistance to President Trump now is being supported by your taxpayer dollars, one of the key platforms that the money to fund these organizations, which we're going to get into, | ||
| actually was, believe it or not, ActBlue. | ||
| So I would encourage the Trump administration, DHS, in addition to looking at ActBlue's involvement on the election Front, election vertical. | ||
| Also in terms of immigration, and that's probably too euphemistic a term because this was a full-blown invasion. | ||
| What do I mean by that? | ||
| Essentially, every NGO, I'm talking about groups from the start of the process, groups that set up, believe it or not, water stations, food, resources on the southern border along the trek from whatever country these aliens may be coming from until they get to the southern border. | ||
| Groups like the Kino Border Initiative, they actually fundraise using ActBlue. | ||
| Now, there's groups like Catholic Charities and their Lutheran counterparts, which also fundraise, in addition, like I was saying, to your tax dollars off of Act Blue. | ||
| These are the groups that, once they actually make it into CBP custody, they're then flown into the interior of this country under the guise of, you know, Christian and a lot of Jewish Catholics or Jewish charities and Catholic charities are down there, too. | ||
| And concerningly, we can toss it up on the screen. | ||
| There's a group called Border Servant Corps, which I was going through their annual report. | ||
| You can see there they brag about the airlines and the number of people, the cost it is to fly them. | ||
| If you want to talk about the eulogy of the United States of America, just look at that document. | ||
| I think the... | ||
| Graphic design and the formatting of a document that is articulating the cost per person to invade the United States of America should not be lost on anyone. | ||
| I mean, let that sink in. | ||
| But there's groups then that once these illegal aliens are flown into any town, maybe it's your town. | ||
| The groups that are providing them with essentially pro bono legal aid to make sure that they're not deported. | ||
| All those groups also fundraise using ActBlue. | ||
| And then the groups that are helping these people actively avoid deportation, so after they've been caught by ICE. | ||
| Whether it be a Trump-era raid or even before, or the groups that are helping them obtain citizenship or a green card, something to that effect. | ||
| They're also all funded by ActBlue. | ||
| And then you have groups that you've seen really active under President Trump. | ||
| We can put this flyer up on screen, but organizing a lot of the pro-open borders demonstrations, in some cases calling to defund, if not straight up, just get rid of ICE. | ||
| In some cases, they just want to abolish all detention centers. | ||
| We can put the Melt Ice graphic up on screen. | ||
| But all of these organizations take their funding from Act Blue. | ||
| One group in particular called Freedom for Immigrants. | ||
| Frankly, I prefer Freedom from Immigrants, but I guess Freedom for Immigrants is so radical, is so woke, that they want to, quote, end detention. | ||
| That's their stated goal. | ||
| The Immigrant Home Foundation, another ActBlue beneficiary, their whole reason for existing is to advocate so criminal illegal aliens can stay in the United States. | ||
| A group called Immigration Forward, their niche issue is to lobby so HIV-positive illegal aliens... | ||
| Sorry, HIV positively. | ||
| Can you imagine HIV positive? | ||
| Legal aliens can stay in the United States. | ||
| Then you have the Black Immigrant Collective whose goals are abolition and liberation. | ||
| Again, funded by ActBlue, the same payment processor used by mainstream Democratic Party candidates. | ||
| And my personal favorite, it's the least favorite of all of these groups, like I said, being funded by ActBlue is the Immigrant Alliance for Justice and Equity, which is an abolitionist organization that denounces white supremacy, the patriarchy, and capitalism, and is pro-black, pro-brown, | ||
| pro-indigenous, pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-sex worker, pro-worker, pro-woman, and gender minorities, and last but not least, pro-ER. | ||
| So if they're smurfing donations for Act Blue for Democrat candidates and campaigns... | ||
| I'd posit that they're doing the same thing for these pro-open borders charities if you want to understand who is funding and financing a lot of this invasion. | ||
| So I hope that we can investigate that as well. | ||
