Why not? | |
| I got it. | ||
| I like that. | ||
| I'm going to duly note that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just have to judge your response to see if I'm right or not, because if you go, that sounds like a good idea, it's going to happen. | |
| Very interesting. | ||
| Very intriguing. | ||
| We'll get back to you on that one. | ||
| Eric Bolling, thank you so much. | ||
| Love doing the handover every day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Me too. | |
| Pretty historic today, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| The first time since Henry Kissinger in the Nixon administration. | ||
| I guess, no, guess Ford, when he was both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor. | ||
| Nixon wasn't crazy enough to do that to him, or allow him to do that. | ||
| We've got a great cold open. | ||
| Mike Davis is in the house. | ||
| We've got a lot to talk about, about the Warren Posse and what you achieved here in the last couple of days. | ||
| Jack Bassovo is going to join us. | ||
| Let's start with the breaking news. | ||
| Let's go to the cold open. | ||
| We're bringing back religion in our country, and we're bringing it back quickly and strongly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Because for America to be a great nation, we must always be one nation under God, a phrase that they would like to get rid of the radical left. | ||
| But Ben, I don't think we're going to let them get rid of that, right? | ||
| We're not letting them get rid of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And with that, let us pray. | |
| Heavenly Father, Sovereign King, We bless you, we praise you, and we thank you for all your benefits to our country. | ||
| We know that the rights we enjoy to life, to liberty, to the pursuit of happiness, are given not by government or popular consensus, but by you. | ||
| We acknowledge, Lord, that since just law is grounded in moral law, and moral law in eternal law, We are indeed a nation under God. | ||
| For big news out of the White House, Mike Waltz is out as national security advisor, but not out of the administration. | ||
| President Trump just announced that he will be nominating Waltz as ambassador to the UN. | ||
| You will remember his first choice. | ||
| Congressman Elise Stefanik backed out of that nomination. | ||
| When it became clear to the party that they could not afford to risk her congressional seat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We ask that you might give us the grace to preserve it and strengthen it. | |
| O God, to whom every human power is subject, we beg you to bless our president as he exercises the prerogatives of his high office. | ||
| May he strive always to please you in what he says and does. | ||
| And may he govern under the direction of your province. | ||
| And may he, in his deliberations and decisions, Always be particularly mindful of those who suffer and those who are most in need. | ||
| But arguably the bigger news here is that the new NSA is going to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio taking on, at least temporarily, a dual role, a la Henry Kissinger during the Nixon administration. | ||
| So how exactly is that going to work? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We make these prayers in the name of Jesus, whose resurrection from the dead we celebrate this Easter season, and who is Lord forever and ever. | |
| Amen. | ||
| Mark, give me a little bit more about what this is going to mean for the Secretary of State Marco Rubio taking on this dual role. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| I think this is the bigger story in the coming days. | ||
| So we haven't seen a national security advisor, secretary of state combination since Henry Kissinger. | ||
| And any student of history knows how powerful a role Kissinger was able to turn that into. | ||
| So aside from the management challenges, those are going to end up being handled by deputies anyway, both the deputy at the NSC and the deputies at State Department. | ||
| But this is going to allow for a great deal of power, for Rubio to wield a great deal of power. | ||
| His relationship with the president is going to have to be paramount. | ||
| And I'm not sure how long that will last if there's disagreement there. | ||
| But one of the concerns I have is that you don't get that back and forth in the interlocutor. | ||
| And I wonder what's going to happen if we have one. | ||
| And I want to take everyone back to 2003 and think about if Secretary of State Powell... | ||
| Had also been the National Security Advisor. | ||
| What a difference that could have made in the decision to go to war in Iraq. | ||
| So this dual-hatted thing is very consequential and is going to have tremendous implications, especially when Marco Rubio goes to the Hill. | ||
| Is it National Security Advisor Rubio, who legitimately has a great deal of executive privilege to shield him from questions, or is it Secretary of State Rubio? | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| You've just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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 lie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. Mann. | ||
| You're welcome. | ||
| Thursday, 1 May in the year of her Lord, 2025, the afternoon, early evening edition of the War Room. | ||
| Jack Posobiec joins us. | ||
| Mike Davis, the Viceroy, is in the house. | ||
| We've got a lot to go through and a little time to do it. | ||
| I want to go Poso first. | ||
| Did anybody, by the way, anybody in the War Room posse, anybody get these subtle... | ||
| The nature of the cold open? | ||
| That was subtle. | ||
| You think it was subtle? | ||
| No, I don't think that was subtle. | ||
| It was that subtle. | ||
| Poso, did you get it? | ||
| Did you pick up the subtext? | ||
| Looking for some, and I think if you listen very closely, you could hear just a little bit. | ||
| Just a little bit. | ||
| So, Posobiec, tell us what went on today. | ||
| We've talked about this a lot. | ||
| President Trump made some pretty big changes over the National Security Council and State Department with his team. | ||
| He also put out, in fact, if we can get to POSO or get it up, I'll talk about in a second, a pretty big true social comment about the Persians and their oil that we'll get to in a second. | ||
| Your thoughts overall, the Rubio... | ||
| And I want to correct her. | ||
| It's Jerry Ford's administration. | ||
| Ford allowed him to be... | ||
| Because he had bugged Nixon forever to do it. | ||
| Nixon was adamant that Kissinger... | ||
| Because all of Watergate started with the plumbers trying to plug the leaks going to the New York Times that turned out it was coming from Henry Kissinger. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So Nixon never really trusted the guy. | ||
| Poso, your thoughts today? | ||
| Well, Steve, actually, what you just mentioned there about the Iran truth post from President Trump, it's not a separate story. | ||
| It's not a separate story at all from these changes that have gone on, the consolidation of the foreign policy and the intelligence collection and national security superstructure of the United States. | ||
| It's all intrinsically connected because the MAGA agenda, the American First agenda, what I came on this program this morning to talk about, It's always been one of peace through strength, of leverage, of no new wars, but then ultimately negotiations. | ||
| So there's a carrot and a stick approach for sure, but it's a carrot and stick that doesn't involve having bombers fly off from Diego Garcia to hit sites in Tehran and Natanz. | ||
| No, it's been this idea of America first. | ||
| That's what President Trump said for 200-plus political events last year. | ||
| So coming out and saying... | ||
| Look, we've got Wyckoff over there. | ||
| That's good cop. | ||
| So that's the carrot. | ||
| The carrot is the deal. | ||
| That's the dangle. | ||
| But then on the other side, you get Trump himself saying, or there's going to be sanctions not just on Iran, but any country that's involved with purchasing, which would include, hold on, wait for it, the People's Republic of China, who, as I mentioned this morning, is the number one. | ||
| Customer of the Iranians. | ||
| So all of these things, and the media wants to put it and act like this is all happening. | ||
| There's one vertical here, and Besan's another vertical, and Israel, Gaza, etc., and Houthis. | ||
| It's not separate. | ||
| It's not separate. | ||
| It is one global chessboard, and this is Trump's grand strategy to move the pieces to where he sees fit. | ||
| Are you telling me that you think that the neocons continually harping on some sort of military intervention in the Persians' nuclear program is what drove it? | ||
| And this is why it's so important that President Trump put the truth. | ||
| You can't have verification of the nuke program. | ||
| You have to take it apart brick by brick, but you cannot do that with a military invasion. | ||
| You have to do that with economic warfare. | ||
| That has cut the frickin' all off. | ||
| It blows up the Chinese. | ||
| Take a carrier battle. | ||
| You get two of them in the Red Sea. | ||
| Just move one slightly east, right outside the Straits. | ||
| As a young naval officer, I was in that lovely water, right? | ||
| Slate gray, hot, miserable. | ||
| When you're off of Persia, you think you're off of the... | ||
| You think you're off of the mountains of the moon, right? | ||
| It's a very desolate place down there. | ||
| Put it right there. | ||
| Stop every ship that comes out. | ||
| They say they ship 1.5 million barrels a day to the Chinese. | ||
| That's a lie. | ||
| It's about 2.5. | ||
| And so stop them all and turn them around and send them back. | ||
| Poso, thoughts? | ||
| Look, Steve, and there was a piece as well in, you know, take it with a grain of salt because it was from The Guardian that was talking about some of the guarantors for Iran's nuclear program and looking at the technical details of this. | ||
| By the way, one of the individuals who's been talked about, a great scholar from Hillsdale as well as a member of Claremont, Michael Anton, has also been a name that's been talked about for... | ||
| Being the technical lead on the Iran negotiations. | ||
| Well, this piece out of The Guardian was talking about who would they bring in as the guarantor of the fizzle material or potentially, you know, we don't know exactly how enriched this material is for the uranium, but the guarantor could potentially be... | ||
| The Russians. | ||
| So, remember, under the Obama-Iran deal, it was the Europeans. | ||
| The Europeans would come in, the French would come in here and there, and they would go down to Natanz, and they would take a look at the reactors. | ||
| But this time around, it would be similar, by the way, to what was done with Syria and the chemical weapons back a decade-plus ago in 2013, where Russia would come in and be the guarantor. | ||
| So right there, you already have this idea that there's a connection between the Iran negotiations and the Russian negotiations, potentially bring Russia in as a guarantor on that nuclear program. | ||
| Because as I've said, it's it's all about the the leverage that Russia has on Persia that they've had for years, because, of course, that's their backyard. | ||

part. | |
| Poso, great work. | ||
| I know you did the whole show today. | ||
| Thanks for bouncing on here. | ||
| Every time we've got to go to national security, we want to go to you. | ||
| Where do they go for your social media, sir? | ||
| Of course, we're up on X. We're up on Truth Social, Human Events Daily, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever you can get it. | ||
| And folks, understand, these are all intrinsically connected. | ||
| They are not separate verticals. | ||
| If you're listening to media or cable news that is telling you that, oh, this is one piece and that's another piece, they don't get it because they can't see the big picture. | ||
| Inextricably linked. | ||
| By the way, is there any truth to the rumors bouncing around there that you would have been named today deputy? | ||
| National Security Advisor, if he had not gotten into a street fight with Jimmy Raskin and his thugs the other day. | ||
| You can't let him out. | ||
| He's meeting Tanya Tay for dinner. | ||
| He's outside. | ||
| He goes back to Poso. | ||
| He goes back to Poso like five years ago. | ||
| He was a street thug looking for fights during the pandemic. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Poso. | ||
| Poor Jamie Raskin sitting there. | ||
| He's got a little bullhorn. | ||
| He's got about five people around him. | ||
| Of course, a bunch of union thugs. | ||
| How many guys did Jamie Raskin send to jail again? | ||
| A thousand under the Gen 6 committee. | ||
| Two of which I seem to remember being one was a former contributor to this show. | ||
| And one of which, oh yeah, that's right. | ||
| The host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| No, I haven't heard about that, Steve. | ||
| But what I've heard is that Senator Tom Tillis, and I'm sure Mike Davis is going to talk about this, is holding up the confirmation process of... | ||
| Ed Martin to be the U.S. attorney for the District of Washington, D.C. to prevent or potentially go after people who perpetrate crimes such as, oh, I don't know, assault at Union Station. | ||
| So I'm sure the Article 3 project, and I actually know for a fact the Article 3 project is already hot on this with Tom Tillis. | ||
| Hey, real quickly, social media, where do people go? | ||
| I checked for Sobic, Human Events Daily Podcast, Spotify. | ||
| Thank you, Jack. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Tom, tell us, you were dropping a bombshell here on a Thursday afternoon. | ||
| Well, let me ask this. | ||
| How the heck did I miss a fight? | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| In fact, it was the other day when you were here. | ||
| Poso's going to get picked up from dinner by Tanya. | ||
| He's walking over Union Station, and Jamie's out there. | ||
| Raskin's out there with the public unions. | ||
| The guy's getting laid off by Doge. | ||
| And he's got a little bullhorn, and he's doing his little Jamie Raskin thing. | ||
| And all of a sudden, Poso goes, screw you, you lost every second. | ||
| And no, they're hitting him with signs that punch him, and Poso's punching back. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| I missed the fight. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| I know. | ||
| How did we have a fight on Capitol Hill and Mike Davis? | ||
| The fight sure we missed it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Tom Tillis, Ed Martin is the man. | ||
| That is a warrior. | ||
| Is there any truth to that rumor? | ||
| There is truth to the rumor. | ||
| Ed Martin is a good man. | ||
| He's Trump's. | ||
| D.C. U.S. attorney. | ||
| He got nominated for the full job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold it. | |
| Tom Tillis is in cycle. | ||
| This is like political suicide in North Carolina. | ||
| Ed Martin's the man getting it done. | ||
| People are saying, hey, I don't know if Pam and Cash, I don't see the arrest. | ||
| Ed Martin's lining them up. | ||
| I mean, Ed Martin's getting it done. | ||
| Crime's down 25% in D.C. because Ed Martin's... | ||
| Crime's down 25% in the Capitol because he's arresting the right guys, right? | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Okay, sure. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Viceroy's with us in the house. | ||
| We got the... | ||
| Kicking off today, the Rio Reset with Philip Patrick. | ||
| We're going to announce we're going to be in Rio. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I'm going to anchor here, naturally. | ||
| The team's going to be there. | ||
| Bricks Nation's end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Go right now. | ||
| Birch Gold. | ||
| Get the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Four years in the making. | ||
| Six free installments. | ||
| We're getting you up to speed. | ||
| Modern monetary theory. | ||
| The idea that broke the world. | ||
| Birchgold.com slash bandit. | ||
| Back with the Viceroy in the warm in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Okay, Mike Davis has been extremely busy. | ||
| I really want to thank him for coming by. | ||
| I want to go back to Ed Martin. | ||
| Ed Martin was Shafley's right-hand man. | ||
| This guy's a great guy. | ||
| In fact, their office, what used to be his office, is right here, perpendicular to the war room. | ||
| Ed is a fantastic guy. | ||
| And I'm telling you, that rat's nest over at D.C., because folks, you understand, D.C., everything's a federal crime. | ||
| Right? | ||
| There are no, like, local crimes because it's a federal territory or district. | ||
| Martin has done an incredible job, and he's the guy to go after the deep state, all of it. | ||
| That's why they don't want, I mean, they wanted to do a formal process, now they're going to do these. | ||
| To know that Tom Tillis, Tom Tillis saying he's not going to vote for him at committee? | ||
| Are you telling me we won't get out of committee? | ||
| He would probably, Ed Martin would not get out of committee if Tillis is going to vote against him. | ||
| So, I hope that people... | ||
| I want to do a... | ||
| Article 3 project on this. | ||
| Yeah, we do. | ||
| Let's do it right now. | ||
| So everybody, and folks, my phone's already blown up for you folks in Carolina. | ||
| I know that you guys, in Carolina is another situation, like Texas and Florida, it's MAGA, but the elites down there just run the deal like they want to run the deal. | ||
| And Tillis is considered like one of the worst. | ||
| So what do they do now to support Ed Martin for U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia? | ||
| What do they do now? | ||
| They go to article3project.org, article3project.org, and you take action. | ||
| And one of the action items is you click on the Ed Morton action item and it will patch through phone calls to both of your home state senators and tell them to vote to confirm Ed Morton for D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Morton's brought down crime 25% in the last few months. | ||
| That's a big change in D.C. The prior U.S. attorney, Matthew Graves, was trying to round up Trump grandmas. | ||
| Ed Martin's rounding up violent criminals. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| And particularly here, when you live in the district, you love to see that. | ||
| It's fantastic. | ||
| But I want 25% less guys in the deep state. | ||
| What we have to do is that the focus has got to be getting rid of this crap on Capitol Hill and in these agencies, right? | ||
| And Ed Martin's the guy to do it. | ||
| But he's got to be there permanently. | ||
| He is bold and he is fearless. | ||
| He's on a 120-day interim appointment, and that is up. | ||
| So that's why people should go to article3project.org, take action, go to the Ed Martin action item, light up both of your home state senators, make the phone calls, light them up on social media. | ||
| But also go to Tillis's. | ||
| If you're not from Carolina, that's okay. | ||
| This is a national issue. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is a national issue. | ||
| Ed Martin's not in Carolina. | ||
| Ed Martin's in the District of Columbia. | ||
| Tillis is doing this because of his position on the Judiciary Committee. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think there are a lot of Republicans who are wobbly right now. | ||
| A lot of weak Republicans. | ||
| So I think it's very important that we have the war room posse give them an attitude of justice. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| To make sure that Ed can get through this process. | ||
| He's a good guy. | ||
| Particularly, this is like a Gates and this is like a Pete Hexeth. | ||
| This has got to be fixed bayonets. | ||
| We have to get confirmation of Ed Martin. | ||
| It is a symbolic thing. | ||
| One, it's necessary to do practically. | ||
| But also, we can't let this one particularly be turned over by, what, is the guy giving him a blue card or something? | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| Some senator from the South. | ||
| Absolutely absurd. | ||
| Talked about how successful this audience... | ||
| People were in shock about what happened with the FTC and how the swamp was over there on Capitol Hill and in one hit from you, and I think maybe a hit and a half, the Warren Posse went to work and this thing got turned around. | ||
| So Jim Jordan had a bright idea. | ||
| He wanted to finally go after... | ||
| A government agency. | ||
| And it was when the FTC brought an antitrust lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg at Meta. | ||
| And then you saw Jim Jordan didn't do much during four years of the Biden administration when the Biden Justice Department was politicized and weaponized to go after Trump. | ||
| His top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter Devaro, who went to the clink, his supporters on January 6th, parents, Christians. | ||
| That didn't move the needle for Jim Jordan. | ||
| But Jim Jordan... | ||
| Jumped pretty high when Meta wanted Jim Jordan to close down the FTC because Facebook is facing a breakup by Andrew Ferguson at the Federal Trade Commission, Trump's very good FTC chairman. | ||
| And they're in the trial right now, and it's going to break up Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. | ||
| And so what was Jim Jordan's response? | ||
| He just wants to basically gut the FTC and get rid of all of its power. | ||
| It's just that this is what the lobbyists do. | ||
| They come, the money gets thrown around, and next thing you know, it's gone. | ||
| This is the only way to take down the oligarchs. | ||
| And this shows you how phony Bernie and AOC, they can't spell FTC. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| This is huge. | ||
| A huge win for this, and thank you for doing it in Article 3. You guys are on fire right now. | ||
| Now, I've got some issues. | ||
| Right now, headline New York Times. | ||
| Texas judge strikes down Trump use of Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans. | ||
| Let me read it. | ||
| The federal judge on Thursday permanently barred the Trump administration from invoking the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th century wartime law, to deport Venezuelans it has deemed to be criminals from the Southern District of Texas, saying that the White House use of the statue was illegal. | ||
| The 36-page ruling by Judge Rodriguez, a President Trump appointee, amounted to a philosophical rejection of the White House attempt to transpose the Alien Enemies Act, which was passed in 1798 as the nascent United States was threatened by war with France into a context of modern-day immigration policy. | ||
| First, correct me if I'm wrong, brother. | ||
| Weren't you the guy shepherding through these Trump appointees? | ||
| Who is Rodriguez and how the hell did he get through? | ||
| Under your watch. | ||
| I would ask John Cornyn how Judge Rodriguez got through the process. | ||
| Is he a Cornyn pick? | ||
| He's a Cornyn pick. | ||
| You do understand this is about to blow up. | ||
| Because heads in the White House are blowing up on this right now. | ||
| I don't know how the hell these judges... | ||
| I think that they can tell the President of the United States that he could not expel terrorists from our country, whether the President does it under the Alien Enemies Act, which he has the absolute statutory authority to do, or if he does it as Commander-in-Chief under Article 2 of the Constitution. | ||
| So that's what President Trump should say is, okay, Judge Rodriguez, you think the President can't expel terrorists? | ||
| He said permanently, but this is not an injunction on terror. | ||
| This said permanently barred the Trump administration. | ||
| This guy went for it. | ||
| That's under the Alien Enemies Act. | ||
| It's a lawless order. | ||
| It's not following Supreme Court precedent. | ||
| But if you're going to say, if the president can't expel terrorists under the Alien Enemies Act... | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| The judge permanently barred the Trump administration. | ||
| I hear you. | ||
| What I'm saying is, if this judge is going to tell Trump he can't expel terrorists under the statute, do it as commander-in-chief. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| And I'm not a lawyer, and I don't try to pretend to play one. | ||
| You do a great job. | ||
| But here's my point. | ||
| I brought up, and I'm saying, here's where we're going, brother. | ||
| Because we're playing patty cake with these guys, and now everything you said is going to happen is happened. | ||
| Now you've got these local judges. | ||
| They're coming in, and they ain't giving TROs and injunctions. | ||
| They're saying you're permanently barred. | ||
| You can't use it. | ||
| They're ripping you apart, and they're your guys, okay, the guys you picked. | ||
| This shows you how infested with radicals these law schools are, these big law firms, guys like Cornyn, right? | ||
| They don't think like populist nationalists. | ||
| President Trump's done this, Commander-in-Chief. | ||
| I'm just saying, brother. | ||
| Suspend habeas corpus. | ||
| Lincoln did it. | ||
| Grant did it. | ||
| FDR did it. | ||
| We're going there. | ||
| I know you dismissed me. | ||
| Like, you crazy man. | ||
| We're going to get to the point, because this is going to go to the Supreme Court. | ||
| They're going to back these guys. | ||
| You know that's happening. | ||
| ACB is like she wrote this. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're going to do it. | ||
| And so then we're going to have to go back to, you know, President Trump is now the new Abraham Lincoln, just to spend habeas corpus in a wartime measure. | ||
| If the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, cannot expel designated foreign terrorists who are working with an enemy state like Venezuela, and that's exactly what Trendy Aragua is doing, we no longer have a country. | ||
| And if you have a federal judge who thinks he has the power to stop the president from expelling these designated foreign terrorists working... | ||
| With an enemy state like Venezuela, our judiciary has lost its legitimacy. | ||
| With the logic here to be expedite going to the appellate court on this and get to the Supreme Court as quickly as possible, is this the one they will take? | ||
| I think the fifth one. | ||
| Because this is not Boesburg trying to turn a plane around. | ||
| This is exactly, I guess, where you sent the planes from. | ||
| So now they've got the right location? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I would say this. | ||
| I think the Fifth Circuit needs to reverse this and reverse this ASAP because this is lawless and this is dangerous by these activist judges. | ||
| Whether they are Trump-appointed or Obama-appointed, there's no way in hell the judge can tell the President of the United States he cannot expel terrorists. | ||
| Okay, I'm going to make a prediction here. | ||
| I've said the convergence of these crises, one of them being this constitutional crisis about this very topic. | ||
| So here's where I think it's going to happen. | ||
| The 10th anniversary of President Trump coming down the escalator is 15 June of this next month. | ||
| This whole thing is going to converge at the Supreme Court. | ||
| And either that day or in the lead up to those days. | ||
| On the 10th anniversary of Trump basically coming down and saying, okay, and it was in seventh place. | ||
| And at the end of that, and what was he talking about? | ||
| Illegal immigration, deporting people. | ||
| It's the first thing he talked about that the nation's heads blew up. | ||
| No politician had ever talked like that. | ||
| He went from seventh to first, and he never looked back. | ||
| He was always first. | ||
| You know, Dr. Ben Carson came close one time. | ||
| But Trump never was tied, never got caught up, because he came down that escalator and talked to the American people like they knew someone had to talk to him like an adult. | ||
| And this thing's hurtling to the Supreme Court, and we're going to see. | ||
| But I tell you... | ||
| What he's going to do is because they're going to back these guys up. | ||
| ACB is going to back them up. | ||
| John Roberts is going to back them up. | ||
| The appellate court is going to back them up. | ||
| And then we're going to start over. | ||
| And what President Trump is going to do is suspend habeas corpus as a wartime measure. | ||
| So the president has no higher constitutional duty than to secure our border and to expel an invasion. | ||
| And that's exactly what Trendy Aragua and MS-13 are doing. | ||
| They are working with our foreign enemies to sabotage our country. | ||
| And if the president can't do it... | ||
| Under the Alien Enemies Act, he needs to do it as commander-in-chief under Article 2 of the Constitution. | ||
| And good luck to a judge trying to tell the president he can't do that. | ||
| What will he do there? | ||
| Suspend habeas corpus? | ||
| Just expel them under Article 2. And I would say to you... | ||
| What's a technical... | ||
| I mean, how do you actually do that? | ||
| You say I'm the commander-in-chief. | ||
| Get on a plane, you're out of here. | ||
| If you look at the Federalist papers, the president can expel a sudden attack. | ||
| And that's exactly what's going on with Trendy Aragla. | ||
| We're going to put Juan on a plane and get him the hell out of our country. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Can you stick around? | ||
| I just need you for the start of the next plot. | ||
| I really appreciate you coming by. | ||
| And you did a great job on shepherding this guy through. | ||
| But I love the way we blamed it on Cornyn. | ||
| There's two guys, Tillis and Carolina and Cornyn. | ||
| They're both awful. | ||
| I guess this is the semi-official endorsement of Ken Paxson, right? | ||
| I think this was the Bannon pick in Texas. | ||
| God. | ||
| And not just that, you get from the president's thing, but you appoint a guy, some nobody, you appoint him, get him in there, and next thing you hear, 36-page opinion. | ||

There is more breaking news to share this hour. | |
| A federal judge in Texas has ruled the Trump administration cannot rely on the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport Venezuelan migrants alleged to be gang members. | ||
| The ruling says the administration's use of the 18th century law exceeds its scope, but the government can rely on another law. | ||
| It's the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove those who engage in criminal activity. | ||
| Joining us now, NBC News senior Homeland Security correspondent Julia Ainsley and former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance. | ||
| Welcome to you both. | ||
| So, Julia, what does this ruling from the judge in Texas mean for those who've already been deported under the Alien Enemies Act and for anyone currently in detention? | ||
| Well, it has definitely more of an impact on those currently in detention. | ||
| As we know, the administration tried to deport more Venezuelans to El Salvador just in the last two weeks before they got an emergency halt from the Supreme Court. | ||
| But this is the first time any federal judge has waited on whether or not Trump can actually rely on this authority at all. | ||
| This is a pretty significant ruling, and it's one that we can expect to be appealed by the government and make its way up to the Supreme Court. | ||
| You've heard all the rulings about this have just dealt with whether or not Trump could do that in that moment or whether or not those people needed to be returned. | ||
| This is whether or not he can use the Alien Enemies Act to justify that there's in fact an invasion happening inside this country. | ||
| Designate Venezuelans and people from El Salvador. | ||
| As part of this gang and deport them without any due process. | ||
| What this judge is saying is you have a process to deport these people. | ||
| It's called the Immigration Nationality Act, and it requires that they have due process, that they can go before an immigration judge to determine whether or not they can stay in the United States, and they could go before a criminal court to decide whether or not they've actually been charged with criminality. | ||
| He's saying that he is usurping that process, and that is a Trump-appointed judge saying that. | ||
| So it's definitely a real blow to this policy. | ||
| See, the Trump administration, Alex, has really grown to lean on, not just because they are able to, you know, get more numbers out so far, just a little over 230 people that they deported under this, but really because it's become the flashpoint of the argument over deportation in this country. | ||
| And they're able to point to it and say, this is what we're trying to do. | ||
| And these justices and anyone who's against us doesn't want these criminals out. | ||
| To have a Trump-appointed judge saying this isn't the right way to do it and you're violating due process is a real... | ||
| She did not bury the lead. | ||
| A Trump-appointed judge and actually went to the heart of the argument. | ||
| So, Viceroy Mike Davis, this is a huge deal. | ||
| Tell me, you've had a chance to skim through the 36-page, in-your-face opinion of this judge. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| I think it's lawless, a lawless order by a federal judge, this DEI pick by John Cornyn. | ||
| Down in Texas. | ||
| He's trying to say that when the president declared that Trente Aragua foreign terrorists are working with Venezuela to come to our country, to sabotage our country, to kidnap, rob, rape, murder, and torture Americans. | ||
| That's somehow not a predatory incursion under the Alien Enemies Act because this judge thinks that you apparently have to be wearing a uniform, a military uniform of a foreign country in order for that to apply. | ||
| That's just a misreading of the law. | ||
| It's lawless, it's dangerous, it's cowardice by this DEI judge in Texas by John Cornyn. | ||
| Walk me through the process. | ||
| Over at the White House, DOJ, you know, the main justice, people are thinking this through. | ||
| I'm sure he gets sucked into here as soon as you leave here. | ||
| What would your recommendation, as you see it now, be to the president? | ||
| I would have the Justice Department seek an emergency appeal with the Fifth Circuit. | ||
| Court of Appeals and get a stay. | ||
| Fifth Circuit's a good one, right? | ||
| It is a good one. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| At this point, I would advise the president to start using his inherent constitutional power as the commander-in-chief to get these foreign terrorists the hell out of our country. | ||
| You're saying you don't need to revert back to some existing law. | ||
| You're saying him, the commander-in-chief. | ||
| Get on the plane. | ||
| Go read the Federalist Papers, I would say, to these judges. | ||
| The President has the constitutional duty to repel a sudden invasion of our country. | ||
| That's even separate from a declaration of war. | ||
| Let me tell you what their strategy is, and it's working. | ||
| To delay is to deny. | ||
| But particularly in this effort, because what's happening right now, we're putting the big, beautiful bill together, reconciliation. | ||
| $170 billion in that. | ||
| The bid and the asker, the House has got $90 billion, the Senate's got $170 billion of the infrastructure and the network you need in upgrading ICE to deport 10 million illegal aliens out of the country. | ||
| What they're trying to do is make this so painful on the obvious criminal invaders that Trump, the Trump administration, the Warren Posse, the Republican Party, we just give up. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is all this is trying to do. | ||
| And this is why they're trying to drag us through the courts and try to make this as difficult as possible. | ||
| Given that, that this has a bigger political context to it, what is your recommendation to the president? | ||
| I think that the president and Republicans in Congress need to start punching back politically against the federal judiciary. | ||
| And I would say to John Roberts... | ||
| Against the federal judiciary? | ||
| Federal judiciary. | ||
| I would say to John Roberts... | ||
| Who thinks he's the commanding general and has an illegal injunction on the president of the United States, an unconstitutional injunction with six of his lieutenant generals on the Supreme Court from Good Friday, where the president is enjoined from expelling foreign terrorists. | ||
| Somehow the Supreme Court did this without a district court ruling, without a Fifth Circuit ruling, without a solicitor general brief, without any basis in the law that used the All Writs Act. | ||
| I would say to the Chief Justice, John Roberts, Once the federal judiciary loses its legitimacy, it loses everything. | ||
| The Supreme Court and the lower federal courts do not have an army to enforce its orders. | ||
| And if the president cannot expel Trendy Aragua foreign terrorists who are robbing, raping, kidnapping, and torturing women and children in this country, the Supreme Court's going to lose its legitimacy. | ||
| And that's when... | ||
| Congress needs to take a sledgehammer to its jurisdiction, to its power, along with its funding. | ||
| This is unacceptable. | ||
| This is a red line. | ||
| These are 90-10 issues. | ||
| The president campaigned on the fact that he's going to secure our border and expel illegal aliens, all of whom are criminals, and particularly Trendy Aragua and MS-13. | ||
| Yeah, the hardcore criminals are obvious. | ||
| Yeah, and if the president can't even get rid of Trendy Aragua and MS-13, the gloves need to come off of the federal judiciary. | ||
| The committees of jurisdiction... | ||
| Of the federal judiciary, or the House judiciary, and the Senate judiciary. | ||
| We're now in this huge, over the next 30 to 45 days, 60 days, working through the budget. | ||
| What is your recommendation? | ||
| Because I want to send people to Article 3 project. | ||
| What is your recommendation to the committees of jurisdiction? | ||
| It's amazing to me that House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan wants to... | ||
| Gut the FTC when the FTC's in trial against Meta, but I don't hear Jim Jordan doing anything to hold these activist judges accountable when they are Violating Article III of the Constitution. | ||
| They're violating their judicial power. | ||
| They're not exercising judicial review. | ||
| They're exercising judicial sabotage. | ||
| Where the hell is Jim Jordan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We have an assault by activist judges. | |
| This is a crisis. | ||
| We're hurtling towards a constitutional crisis. | ||
| We are absolutely going to head to a constitutional crisis. | ||
| And if the president cannot expel terrorists, we need to say to hell with the federal judiciary and close it down. | ||
| Repeat that, because I think he just made some news. | ||
| Repeat that, sir. | ||
| If the President of the United States cannot expel foreign terrorists, then we need to say to hell with the federal judiciary and close it down. | ||
| Where do people go to Article 3 to get up on the rampart, sir? | ||
| Article3project.org. | ||
| Article3project.org. | ||
| You can follow us on social media. | ||
| You can donate. | ||
| The most important thing the posse does is take action. | ||
| An action item that needs to happen right now is you need to call on your representative and two senators to take $2 billion out of the federal judiciary's $10 billion budget because the Supreme Court let Judge Ali... | ||
| Piss away that money. | ||
| By the way, Judge Ali, we just found out, became a citizen four weeks before he, I just saw it the other day, four weeks before he became a citizen or final citizenship. | ||
| He's still a Canadian citizen. | ||
| Yeah, still a Canadian. | ||
| Article 3 Project. | ||
| Article3project.org. | ||
| Two billion dollars out of the ten. | ||
| So they come up with eight. | ||
| Yeah, if these judges want to take off their judicial robes and climb into the political arena, expect political counterpunches. | ||
| Ed Martin, you go to Tom Tillis or your senator, even go to your congressman too. | ||
| Let's get a firestorm going on this. | ||
| It's unacceptable. | ||
| We've got to go on offense in this. | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you so much. | ||
| I know you're very busy. | ||
| Thank you for dropping by. | ||
| I appreciate you. | ||
| Historic day. | ||
| Marco Rubio is the Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor. | ||
| Hasn't happened since the Ford administration with Henry Kissinger. | ||
| And of course, a blockbuster ruling right before Mike Davis walked in here about the deportations of the criminal element of the 10 million invasion force. | ||
| Now we've got Phillip Patrick. | ||
| Phillip, we're putting out today, I'm honored, something we've worked on tremendously, the Rio Reset. | ||
| This is the road to Rio. | ||
| We're going to have an entire crew down there in Rio de Janeiro on July 6th for this incredible BRICS meeting. | ||
| Tell us what's going to go on Rio, and let's talk about, we're going to put up there a new... | ||
| A new installment, new Totally Free, that Philip Patrick and myself, Philip wrote the forward, I wrote the introduction, and both of us worked with his staff to work through the others. | ||
| What do you got for us, brother? | ||
| Yeah, very excited, Bail. | ||
| The special edition of the End of the Dollar Empire series, Rio Reset, it's all about global reserve currency status. | ||
| So this is very, very topical. | ||
| We talk about what it means, what it's worth, and why exactly it's so crucial to U.S. economic dominance. | ||
| I personally am very excited to go to Rio beginning of July. | ||
| This is going to be a big meeting. | ||
| Officially, it's a working session between bureaucrats talking about economic cooperation. | ||
| Unofficially, though, the BRICS leadership are expected to announce major advancements in their shadow financial system, essentially a 21st century alternative to the existing dollar-denominated system. | ||
| Insiders are hinting now at a coordinated push to link the various systems that BRICS have been creating over the last decade, things like Enbridge and BRICS Pay. | ||
| The goal here, broadly, is to make A dollar-free sort of international payment system and transactions more easy and possible at scale. | ||
| So it's starting to happen, and I think this meeting will be the formal announcement. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| We've got an entire new installment. | ||
| We want you to go through the history of it, why it's important, all of it for the Rio Reset. | ||
| Give me that again. | ||
| What do you think can come out? | ||
| Inside Baseball is telling you what, when you talk to your sources, what's going to happen here? | ||
| Look, right now, all financial transactions, they happen under U.S. oversight. | ||
| Every dollar payment is overseen by the Treasury Department. | ||
| Banks use a swift messaging system. | ||
| Credit worthiness is determined by rating agencies, two in the U.S., one in the U.K. Brexit sort of sick of it, right? | ||
| Look at what happened when Biden weaponized the dollar and essentially froze Russia's sovereign wealth fund. | ||
| So what they're doing now, this isn't just talk. | ||
| They're building their own institutions. | ||
| They're creating an alternative to the World Bank. | ||
| They're creating their own credit rating agencies. | ||
| That's on the institutional side. | ||
| They're creating infrastructure as well. | ||
| They are laying thousands of miles of underground or undersea cables just so they don't have to rely on the old Western-controlled network. | ||
| They're creating cross-border international payment systems. | ||
| Essentially, they're creating something that's already built, but something that we control, and they're moving away from the system to something that they can control. | ||
| The real challenge here that the Rio Reset offers. | ||
| Is that global transactions that don't require dollars, right? | ||
| Dollar demand at the moment is our Achilles heel. | ||
| We've got $36.5 trillion of debt, $9 trillion of which we have to refinance this year alone. | ||
| Every single transaction that happens now through BricsPay and that is settled with M-Bridge means a loss of dollar demand, right? | ||
| And that's a loss of the dollar's monopoly on the global financial system. | ||
| And that's the only thing at the moment that we cannot afford to lose. | ||
| This is big, big news. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That is pretty stunning. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Also, take out your phone and text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898 to get the ultimate guide. | ||
| This is totally free. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Also, I want to put the Truth Social post from Trump back up. | ||
| President Trump is essentially calling for, kind of, we've been saying this for a while, but President Trump is calling for today, Philip Patrick. | ||
| It looks like a complete embargo of the Persian oil coming out of the Persian Gulf. | ||
| How is that going to royal markets in the next couple of weeks? | ||
| Because obviously this change in the NSA means that President Trump, I think, is... | ||
| I think making a very strong statement, we're not going to be bombing or going in militarily for a while. | ||
| It's definitely a change. | ||
| It's going to be a de-neoconization of the NSC. | ||
| But economic warfare can be just as brutal and have big changes in markets, energy markets, capital markets, currency markets, commodities markets. | ||
| What are your thoughts right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because, folks, we are sitting on the cusp. | |
| Of World War III. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Listen, I mean, it's going to drive oil prices up, right? | ||
| It's going to kill supply and it's going to drive oil prices up. | ||
| And we know how inflationary oil prices are, right? | ||
| They drive the price of all commodities up. | ||
| It's transportation. | ||
| It's everything. | ||
| So shorter term, it's obviously going to have a fairly dramatic effect on capital markets. | ||
| It'll fuel inflation domestically and globally. | ||
| But there's a political aspect to this as well, right? | ||
| The Iranians have been sort of pumping out oil. | ||
| They've been building up. | ||
| They've been causing problems all over the world. | ||
| So, you know, we may take a shorter-term hit in the economy, but we've got to start dealing with Iran. | ||
| Obviously, the political side is not my forte, but I understand sometimes you've got to take some shorter-term hits for longer-term gains. | ||
| But oil prices going up. | ||
| Equals volatility, and we've got a ton of volatility in the current climate. | ||
| Talk to us about how people, because people come to me all the time, how do they work with you guys? | ||
| They go, right now, the Rio Reset, this is the seventh free installment. | ||
| And this is one you've got to read to get current of what's happening. | ||
| It reads like it's ripped from today's headlines, kind of because we take all the training Philip and I have had as investment bankers, the entire finance team over there, go through the history of this, get you up to speed, but then drive a stake in the ground of, hey, this is going to happen on July 6th, and you're watching history. | ||
| As it unfolds, but it's also going to have a huge financial impact, not simply on your country, but you personally. | ||
| So what do people do if they go to birchgold.com slash Bannon, you get the Rio Reset, seventh free installment, but then how do they make contact with you guys? | ||
| How do they start working with you guys? | ||
| Yeah, so it's very simple. | ||
| It starts with either go to birchgold.com forward slash Bannon or they can text Bannon to 989898. | ||
| That gets them access to information. | ||
| And Steve, I have to say, that's why I'm so thankful that you've allowed me this platform because... | ||
| You know, people have to understand how important this is. | ||
| It feels sort of big and, you know, somewhere else, but it affects our everyday lives. | ||
| This is a very important fight, and it's one that we have to win. | ||
| So people need to get educated, right? | ||
| Bannon to 989898. | ||
| Get the information. | ||
| From there, they can contact us, they can call us, reach out. | ||
| You'll have people like myself that are there to explain everything to them, fill in any gaps, and ultimately... | ||
| Help them to protect against it. | ||
| And that's where precious metals come in. | ||
| But information for me is the most important part. | ||
| The more informed people are, the better decisions they can make. | ||
| So ban into 989898 and get the Rio Reset installment. | ||
| Read about it. | ||
| Learn about it. | ||
| We've got to know. | ||

| The End of the Dollar Empire has done such a great thing about... | ||
| I think, like you said, it's not the price, it's the process. | ||
| To explain to a blue-collar and middle-class audience and a working-class audience capital markets and currency and the impact it has on politics. | ||
| Because this audience, as you see when Mike Davis came in here, is now renowned. | ||
| On Capitol Hill, but the FTC, it took 24 hours. | ||
| And they said, no mas. | ||
| We don't want it. | ||
| We're going to keep the FTC because of this audience. | ||

| And at the top is our favorite Chris Leonard, Christopher Leonard, who was there last Friday. | ||
| Talk about his new book on the military-industrial complex after writing the blockbuster Lords of Easy Money, which you guys have absorbed. | ||
| Chris Leonard in the Poll Court, a true feat of revelatory journalism. | ||
| If you only read one book to understand American economic and political power in the world today, this should be the one. | ||
| This is about the weaponization of the dollar. | ||
| She's going to spend an entire hour. | ||
| She'll be here in the morning. | ||
| Briefly, because you're going to spend the entire hour at 6 o 'clock. | ||
| We're going to go through this book. | ||
| We're going to go through the weaponization of the dollar. | ||
| And as the road to Rio, every other day we're going to have a major personality from the world of finance and capital markets to basically set the framework in this historic summer of 2025 with President Trump in his second hundred days. | ||
| The BRICS nations and a lot of this driven by the Chinese Communist Party, but also a lot of it just driven by the breach of fiduciary responsibility of the elites in this country. | ||
| And this is what President Trump's got to fight. | ||
| One more time, Philip Patrick, where do we go to get the Rio reset? | ||
