| Don't mention it. | ||
| You walk in and say, hey, look, we took a vote on RAF during the day, 99,000 to like one. | ||
| The people want to see him on planes to Seacott. | ||
| See how far that takes you. | ||

| One of the controversies were Julie Kelly. | ||
| We've got a great cold open. | ||
| We're going to start the show now. | ||
| We've got Julie Kelly in the house. | ||
| Supposed to be. | ||
| And we've got Rogan O 'Hanley is going to join us. | ||
| Steve Hilton. | ||
| We're packed, jammed, and may add some live reporting from the Texas House, which is a free-for-all this afternoon as Democrats try to roll in their laws, and they're just a mess down there in Texas. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play the cold open. | ||
| I'll be right back. | ||

Part of a plan to dramatically downsize the advisory body, which has already undergone major restructuring during the second Trump administration, including the replacement of NSA Mike Waltz with Marco Rubio, who is wearing two hats, serving as Secretary of State as well, and the firing of five key aides in April on the advice of far-right activist Laura Loomer. | |
| FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are facing pressure from Trump's base to ramp up their actions against the, quote, weaponization they spent years railing against. | ||
| Dan Bongino announced the FBI is reexamining some major Biden-era controversies. | ||
| Pipe bombs found near the RNC on January 6, 2021. | ||
| The leak of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in 2022. | ||
| And cocaine found at the White House in 2023. | ||
| Joining us now, we have NBC News Justice and Intelligence Correspondent Kendallanian. | ||
| And Lisa Rubin is still with us here in the studio. | ||
| Can you first, what do we know about these cases so far and how they were chosen? | ||
| Well, Alex, I think you put your finger on it. | ||
| They were chosen because these two men who are leading the FBI for years have been fomenting conspiracy theories, and now the base is asking them to deliver on many of them. | ||
| And there are some that they just can't, like the Jeffrey Epstein case. | ||
| But these are cases of controversy where they think there's some more room to run here. | ||
| Take a listen to, I think we have some sound from the FBI Director, Kash Patel. | ||
| Actually, we don't have that, Ken. | ||
| I'm so sorry about that. | ||
| So, apologies. | ||
| So, look, in terms of the FBI pipe bomb case, Dan Bongino, the deputy director, was saying before he got the job that he believed... | ||
| He asserted blindly that this was an inside job, that the FBI was lying when they said they didn't know who the suspect was, that he believed that this was an embarrassment that was trying to cover up the fact that the January 6th narrative, as he put it, was not what we thought it to be. | ||
| Since he's taken office, he hasn't said those things, but now he is saying they're going to reinvestigate the pipe bomb case. | ||
| In terms of the Supreme Court leak, you know, there was an investigation. | ||
| It didn't go anywhere for obvious reasons. | ||
| That's going to be a really difficult case. | ||
| Same with the cocaine in the White House. | ||
| There was an investigation. | ||
| They couldn't determine who left it there and they dropped the investigation. | ||
| but now the FBI wants to put more resources in. | ||
| One final thing I will add about this is, What matters to him is limiting the sort of extra eyes and ears that are in the White House. | ||
| Remember, he was furious with the National Security Council because he blamed it for overhearing his phone call with Vladimir Zelensky, which led to his first impeachment hearing. | ||
| This was the call in which he pressured Zelensky to announce an investigation of the Biden family and to imply that the family was corrupt during their election, his campaign for reelection. | ||
| So he views the council as a worrisome source of leaks, a worrisome source of experts that will get in his way. | ||
| And I really can't emphasize enough about what Carol was saying, that these are individuals, you know, there is a process and there are a lot of people who think it. | ||
| It's too bloated. | ||
| And President Trump is one of those. | ||
| He believes that he has a decision. | ||
| He wants the people around him, often a very small group of people, to take his position, his policy, and to implement it. | ||
| And the more people around, the more possibility for leaks. | ||
| So the way that an NSC would typically work in past administrations is there would be some sort of a decision they have to make. | ||
| Let's say providing weapons for Ukraine. | ||
| Since, you know, Carol was just talking about Russia and Ukraine. | ||
| Let's say that that decision is made. | ||
| The National Security Council would meet at sort of working group levels and up to the principles levels, and then they would provide, at a higher level, a recommendation to the president to make a decision like that. | ||
| President Trump just wants to hear from his higher level people. | ||
| That is one reason that these lower level working group experts are being eliminated. | ||
| As a politically viable force, I would say not well. | ||
| How is it going to play with the Trump right? | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| In fact, they kind of get a little bit of joy out of watching even programs like this where we think this is wrong. | ||
| They take joy in the discomfort or anger of Trump's foes. | ||
| And so it's not just that they... | ||
| There's an affirmative hatred for the other side that is so strong that they actually many times enjoy watching the outrage. | ||
| They enjoy stoking the outrage. | ||
| And so one of the questions that I have is, is at what point does a critical mass of Americans and sufficient number of Americans emerge from really this kind of apathy in some quarters, hostility in other quarters, to reimagine the American founding and to sort of refound the United States in a way that recaptures what the founders wanted in integrity and | ||
| leadership, accountability amongst the branches of government, all of that is breaking down right now, all of it. | ||
| And that's the thing, going full circle to the beginning of the top of this hour, this is the thing that concerns me the most, is the enthusiasm and the popularity of many of these punitive acts and many of these corrupt acts. | ||
| People are enthusiastic about it. | ||
| They're not just tolerating it, they're enthusiastic about it. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||

Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann. | ||
| you you It's Tuesday, 27 May in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| That is President David French. | ||
| Remember when French ran for president? | ||
| You might have missed that. | ||
| But he did. | ||
| It didn't really go anywhere. | ||
| So that's David French saying we have affirmative hatred. | ||
| No, we're trying to take down the administrative state and the deep state, brother, that has driven this country into a ditch that we need to get it out of to make it great again. | ||
| Part of that ditch is obviously this insane spending on the forever wars. | ||
| The NSC 100, I think it could have been even more because I think the billets are 250 to 300. | ||
| The NSC used to be... | ||
| He's sending home the detailees from all these different – the Pentagon, the Justice Department, the CIA. | ||
| Basically, I think you ought to fire them and get them gone out of the entire government. | ||
| But he's sending – President Trump is sending them back, getting them out of the EOB, getting them out of the White House. | ||
| No need for them. | ||
| You don't need a National Security Council that big. | ||
| President Trump's got political appointees. | ||
| He's going to put his own people in there, the detailees. | ||
| Who are just all deep staters. | ||
| And remember, it's not that they were listening to the phone call, Washington Post reporter. | ||
| It's not that they were listening to the phone call. | ||
| The perfect phone call is that they lied about what was said, twisted it, and trumped up a bizarro impeachment that we now know about the corruption of Zelensky and Biden. | ||
| Notice the mainstream media is not all over the Biden story. | ||
| Anyway, we've got a lot to get to. | ||
| Julie Kelly, the Julie Kelly, is in the house today. | ||
| Julie Kelly, honored to have you here. | ||
| Let's start with, I guess, the Bongino. | ||
| They're doing the cocaine. | ||
| They're doing the pipe bomber. | ||
| They're doing a couple of other things. | ||
| I think those are all lovely, but we've got to get on with the important stuff, and we're not. | ||
| And if they think this is going to assuage us, they are wrong. | ||
| But go ahead, Julie Kelly. | ||
| I know you've got some very strong opinions about this, ma 'am. | ||
| Well, first of all, we were just joking here in the studio about David French and how much we missed him because he did take a Twitter X break and now like a cicada, like the little bug that he has, he has re-emerged with more of his babbling BS. | ||
| David French, not only who ran for president in 2016, but of course a happy promoter of every anti-Trump hoax from Russiagate to Ukraine gate to very fine people to the insurrection. | ||
| You know, and the idea that he wants to reimagine American democracy when... | ||
| Anyway, it's so nice to have David French back. | ||
| Well, hang on. | ||
| Hold it. | ||
| Now that you brought it up, anytime somebody – you see this in Hollywood. | ||
| When they talk about reimagined, what that means is they're taking a classic film and they're going to destroy it with some crap they're going to make now with a bunch of hacks they have in Hollywood and hack writers like David French. | ||
| So I don't think we need to – I think we're doing just fine. | ||
| We love democracy because democracy is the way that we're winning and building our coalition and all the polling is great. | ||
| The Rasmussen guys are going to join us tomorrow morning. | ||
| Mark Mitchell on an incredible new polling coming out across the board about the president. | ||
| So, no, we're doing fine. | ||
| We don't need to reimagine. | ||
| I don't think so, Julie Kelly. | ||
| This is what I voted for. | ||
| Well, remember, too, David French infamously called Drag Queen Story Hour a blessing of liberty, so one can only imagine what his newly found democracy would look like. | ||
| Many colors of the rainbow. | ||
| David French, oddly, supporting that. | ||
| So at any rate, so... | ||
| I think you and I might have just a slight disagreement here on what Cash and Dan are doing. | ||
| I understand the frustration of the base. | ||
| Of course, you know that, I mean, this FBI is the one that I covered who was using battering rams against veterans who, with no criminal record, you know, destroying their homes, their lives, their families over a nonviolent protest to the Capitol on January 6th. | ||
| And, of course, the Whitmer case, which we'll talk about as well. | ||
| But I think the depth of corruption there, and this is what I'm hearing from my sources, is far worse than anyone imagined. | ||
| The new folks at the DOJ and the FBI. | ||
| And all you have to do is look at James Comey's recent comments. | ||
| That mindset has infected people. | ||
| So it's not like new leadership, and I know you're not suggesting that, just magically goes in and then they become normal human beings. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, Julie, you and I are totally in agreement. | |
| We're totally in agreement. | ||
| We're totally in agreement. | ||
| So why not take, how about this? | ||
| Here's an idea. | ||
| Let's not ask for another billion dollars for new headquarters. | ||
| Let's shut the headquarters down. | ||
| Let's get rid of 37,000 people, and then we can hire back onesies, twosies of ones that are good to a new organization. | ||
| Let's just get rid of it. | ||
| Comey shows you what fascist they are. | ||
| Comey's going on, he's on the Raggedy Ann show, Jen Psaki show, that's got like no ratings now. | ||
| Rachel Maddow's left. | ||
| The thing's imploded. | ||
| He's talking about, I mean, he's a complete police state fascist. | ||
| And he's talking about going back and taking the FBI, and this is what is the problem. | ||
| If they steal 2028, they're coming back, and we haven't taken the thing apart. | ||
| I want to take it apart brick by brick and have a Carthaginian piece salt the earth around it so it can never grow back, ma 'am. | ||
| Well, I will tell you this. | ||
| I mean, that's what Cash and Dan, I think, once believed and probably still do believe. | ||
| But they would find huge resistance in Congress, Republicans in the House and Senate. | ||
| We just saw this with Ed Martin, who's a few Republican senators successfully scuttling his nomination for D.C. U.S. attorney. | ||
| These cowards in Washington would fight every and they're probably doing it behind the scenes, I would imagine, to dismantle. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| But we've got to hit them. | ||
| It's from the godfather. | ||
| We've got to hit them while we're strong. | ||
| I agree 100%. | ||
| They're going to block it. | ||
| Let's take it on right now. | ||
| And I will tell you, if you bring this to the forefront. | ||
| And have that battle that you and I want to have, and I think Cash and Dan want to have also, with the powers that be on the deep state and on Capitol Hill, the funding sources. | ||
| President Trump's going to throw in with us. | ||
| He's going to say, yeah, this is what, you know, give me some of this. | ||
| This is what, I tell you what, let's take a short break. | ||
| Julie Kelly's in the house. | ||
| Rogan O 'Hanley's going to be with us. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in the warm in a moment. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Okay, markets are jumping all around. | ||
| When you see the financial mess that we've got to work our way out of, that the Senate's now going to take on the big, beautiful bill, President Trump, all of it, Japanese bond market. | ||
| Let's be blunt. | ||
| No investor in the world wants to lend any money to any government long. | ||
| Does that make you concerned? | ||
| They don't want to lend it to Germany, Britain, Japan. | ||
| The United States. | ||
| Does that concern you? | ||
| This is not sub-Saharan Africa or some developing nation. | ||
| I'm talking about the G7, the most powerful nations on earth. | ||
| Find out why. | ||
| Birchgold.com, end of the dollar empire. | ||
| The road to Rio. | ||
| The Rio reset. | ||
| Get it now. | ||
| It's all free. | ||
| You'll start to understand why gold's been a hedge for mankind for 5,000 years of recorded history. | ||
| Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| Now more than ever, you need to understand not the price of gold, the process of what drives the price of gold. | ||
| You need to understand this for your community, your family, your country, and most specifically your own financial well-being. | ||
| Make sure you understand it. | ||
| We've taken a lot of time to do this. | ||
| We have a clip on James Comey. | ||
| Let's go and play it and we'll bring back the great Julie Kelly. | ||
| Do you think there's a, I mean, one of the things that is happening now is that the Trump administration is of course testing the system in ways that hasn't been tested before. | ||
| In the law enforcement sense, do you think there are laws that. | ||
| Should be put in place that would help better manage this that aren't in place now? | ||
| I mean, are we equipped? | ||
| Is the law enforcement system and the legal system equipped to deal with what we're seeing now? | ||
| Probably there could be changes at the margins, but in the main, we have the tools. | ||
| There are cultural impediments to doing this work. | ||
| Let's say you work in the FBI. | ||
| You know that one of the two political parties is Let me put it nicely, white supremacist adjacent at a minimum. | ||
| And so why would you want to throw your career on that side of the line and be summoned to Capitol Hill to be asked, why are you pursuing these innocent groups? | ||
| And so we have a cultural impediment to working it effectively that should get more attention than it does. | ||
| Why he is not in prison. | ||
| He's a disgusting and revolting human being. | ||
| And the system that created him is disgusting and revolting. | ||
| And I'm adamant. | ||
| We've got to take this apart brick by brick. | ||
| It cannot be saved. | ||
| Cash, they're talking about a hall of heroes over there. | ||
| There are no heroes. | ||
| Because even the guys, the good guys, the FBI, nobody came for it because they didn't believe we would ever come back into power. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| We're going to be in power a long time. | ||
| We need to take the FBI apart and we need to take it apart today. | ||
| Call me right there. | ||
| You see, white supremacist adjacent. | ||
| Dude, we won by getting the biggest vote on the Hispanic community ever. | ||
| We got 39% of African-American men. | ||
| White supremacist that, dude. | ||
| You're disgusting and revolting. | ||
| And we've got to take it to these people. | ||
| We can't play patty cake anymore. | ||
| Julie Kelly. | ||
| And look, I don't care about Hunter Biden's cocaine in the White House. | ||
| The bomber, yes, I care about the bomber, but it shouldn't be top priority. | ||
| And the rest of the stuff they're doing, it's all marginalia. | ||
| We've got to get to the heart of it. | ||
| And the heart of it is guys like Comey are in prison. | ||
| Brennan's in prison. | ||
| And the apparatuses that created them and they were there to suppress the American people are gone forever. | ||
| Julie Kelly. | ||
| Well, you took the words right out of my mouth after listening to that clip. | ||
| James Comey should be in prison. | ||
| After Anthony Fauci, he has done more damage to this country and to real people's lives than anyone else. | ||
| So it's really a shame that he is still walking around. | ||
| Being treated as a folk hero on the left, being able to sell books, getting big book advances, and buying a big beach house where he can play with rocks in the sand and make threats against the president. | ||
| Very unfortunate. | ||
| So I certainly agree with you there. | ||
| I do think the pipe bomb is still very important because, as Darren Beatty used to say, once that unravels and is exposed as, yes, Why they doctored with the video from January 5th. | ||
| Why Stephen D 'Antuano. | ||
| Talk about the connection to the Whitmer Fednapping hoax by Stephen D'Antuano lied to Congress and said one of the data files from the cell phone providers from January 5th and 6th was corrupted. | ||
| So I do think exposing the lies and the Malky's... | ||
| Julie, Julie, Julie. | ||

|
I'm not defending the No, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| You've done more. | ||
| You've done more. | ||
| You're going cash on me. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hang on. | |
| You've done more than any individual to sit in those courtrooms every day and document this. | ||
| The pipe bomb is clearly important. | ||
| But we've got Miranda Devine has got this piece up in the post to say, how is everybody associated with the laptop from hell still working at the FBI? | ||
| The whole thing of January 6th, you know the depth of it, the scale of it, that we've got to get now to adjudicate what actually was happening. | ||
| The pipe bomb is important, but it's such a marginal piece. | ||
| Don't get me wrong. | ||
| I want to get to the bottom of that. | ||
| But we've got the entire thing sitting right before us, and they know we're not getting it done. | ||
| They're laughing at us because we're not moving with urgency. | ||
| We're burning daylight, as Jack London used to say. | ||
| Do you not agree with me that this has got to – and we've got to raise it up to President Trump's level. | ||
| This is why he needs a special prosecutor. | ||
| The FBI cannot do this themselves. | ||
| The Justice Department can't do it themselves. | ||
| You have to have somebody else. | ||
| Hey, I'm recommending a Tom Fenton, Julie Kelly, Rudy Giuliani team. | ||
| I'll throw Rogan O 'Hanley in there, too, that advise we get a top prosecutor, a team of prosecutors, and let's roll, baby. | ||
| Let's do it, ma'am. | ||
| Yes, and the old Julie Kelly is still here, but I guess my concern is you... | ||
| How do we get those answers, I guess, is my concern. | ||
| That they've already buried and hidden and probably destroyed so much evidence that we need. | ||
| How then will we get those answers? | ||
| And I think there has to be a political process to build. | ||
| I feel comfortable. | ||
| In the process of taking a part, I feel comfortable that the smart people with Fenton and Julie Kelly and Rudy and Rogan and top prosecutors and people. | ||
| We'll put on here, maybe even take Ed Martin out of justice and give it to him. | ||
| The top people will have it and the passion that people will have for this. | ||
| I'll take that bet. | ||
| I feel highly confident that we will find it. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| In the process itself, so much else will come up. | ||
| As you know, the process, look at Watergate. | ||
| Every day things are going to happen, but you have to start the journey. | ||
| Right now, we're sitting here, and Dan Bongino, I love Dan. | ||
| He's fantastic, but I don't want to hear about the pipe bomb. | ||
| Particularly, don't insult me with the cocaine. | ||
| I don't want to hear about the cocaine. | ||
| That's something that's 50 down. | ||
| 50 down the list. | ||
| I want to get to the Biden, the biggest corruption in the history of the country, bigger than Watergate, is what they did with Biden, to both steal the election, put him in office, do a fedsurrection on January 6th, and then hide the fact that he had dementia. | ||
| It's the biggest scandal in the history of the nation, and it's right in front of us, and we have all the power to do it, and we're running around talking about Hunter Biden's cocaine in the White House. | ||
| It's not relevant. | ||
| It's a misdirection play, and we're not going to be fooled. | ||
| Hey, we're in the business of not having the left do that. | ||
| We're certainly not going to have the right do that on us, ma 'am. | ||
| It's got to raise up to the level of President Trump. | ||
| Actually, we've got a system that the special prosecutor can report to President Trump. | ||
| Let's get on with it. | ||
| Would you volunteer, Julie Kelly? | ||
| I get the old Julie Kelly. | ||
| You get in here with Fenton and these guys and form some sort of working group. | ||
| Come on, lady. | ||
| But I will continue to report on it because I like my life, so I don't want to give it up, quite frankly, like Cash and Dan have done. | ||
| So, no, I don't want to do that, but I would certainly cover that. | ||
| But, look, you're not going to find disagreement on that. | ||
| I also don't care about the Epstein information. | ||
| I don't care about those files. | ||
| I think it's irrelevant. | ||
| No one is going to be charged. | ||
| Everyone got away with it. | ||
| And I would much rather dig into January 6th. | ||
| You can't surrender like that. | ||
|

|
I just have never cared about it personally. | |
| I know, but I'm saying you'll get to the cover-up of exactly what the cover-up was. | ||
| They're even admitting they got these tapes and things. | ||
| This is Cash and Pam. | ||
| Once you get into these things, the rich, as you know, Julie, you've done it yourself with no resource at all, just doing it yourself. | ||
| You understand as you start these investigations, every day you tell me, hey, I found this, I found this. | ||
| The process itself delivers. | ||
| Once you have intention and start moving down. | ||
| The process itself – I tell you, Julie, hang on for one second. | ||
| Let me get Rogan in here. | ||
| Rogan, the great Robert Barnes put up a tweet. | ||
| We're back to – and I just had – I just did a handoff with Bowling, who was on a raid this morning, going back again. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| They had 20 guys. | ||
| It was great. | ||
| They caught a couple of bad guys. | ||
| But they sent them to some jail. | ||
| They didn't take them to a plane and put them on going to Seacott. | ||
| Don't we have to – your brilliant idea, don't we have to right now, President Trump, suspend the writ of habeas corpus and let's get on with it, sir? | ||
| People are more than ready. | ||
| I was just listening to a podcast this morning talking about how the war room has popularized this idea of suspending the writ of habeas corpus. | ||
| But the media keeps shrieking about a constitutional crisis happening or about to happen with Trump. | ||
| Let me be clear, media. | ||
| The constitutional crisis is already here. | ||
| We have a historic record number of national injunctions issued by these leftist activists in black robes called judges at the federal district court level who have hamstrung the duly elected. | ||
| To rectify this constitutional crisis, Trump has to suspend the writ of habeas corpus for illegal aliens only and ship these people out. | ||
| All we want is what they did on Martha's Vineyard. | ||
| When a few dozen illegals got shipped there, they mobilized the National Guard and they shipped them off the island in 48 hours or less without a trial. | ||
| If it's good enough for Martha's Vineyard, it's good enough for the rest of the country. | ||
| Rogan, I want you to hang with me. | ||
| Julie's going to hang. | ||
| Aren't they winning because they've slowed us down so much right now with all these lower court things? | ||
| The Supreme Court's so slow to this. | ||
| We are in the middle of a crisis right now, but they love it because they're winning. | ||
| They understand we only got 13 million more to go, right? | ||
| Don't you think they're winning in 30 seconds? | ||
| Yeah, I would say right now they have the upper hand. | ||
| We are in power. | ||
| We have control of the federal government. | ||
| But as of right now, we have the upper hand. | ||
| Or they have the upper hand. | ||
| And that is why I am pushing this idea. | ||
| The Constitution has tools and weapons that can be used by the government in situations like this. | ||
| There is an invasion. | ||
| The suspension of the habeas corpus is for an invasion. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann. | |
| Okay, I'm going to get back to Rogan and Julie in a moment. | ||
| I've got things blowing up down in Texas in the House. | ||
| Let's go to General Paxson. | ||
| General Paxson, were you escorted off the floor of the Texas House today, sir, by some Republicans? | ||
| Any truth to these rumors? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, it's interesting. | |
| I've spent 10 years in the Texas House. | ||
| I was in the Senate. | ||
| I used to go to the House all the time. | ||
| I've gone on the floor as Texas Attorney General in the past. | ||
| This is the first time I was asked by. | ||
| About 10, 12 House members come on the floor and talk to a few of them, say hi. | ||
| It was no big deal. | ||
| I was going to take a picture with them. | ||
| And then I had a staffer come up to me and said I had to leave immediately. | ||
| And I said, I thought former House members were allowed on the floor. | ||
| She said, well, they are, but not the Attorney General. | ||
| And I said, well, I was a former House member. | ||
| I'm Attorney General now, but former House members, my understanding is that they were usually allowed on the floor. | ||
| I'm a former House member. | ||
| She goes, not the Attorney General. | ||
| You're excluded from that group. | ||
| And I said, who's saying this? | ||
| Who's saying this? | ||
| She said, Charlie Guerin, he's a state rep from Fort Worth that obviously voted to impeach me and was very much behind all of that. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, apparently he has sole authority or the Speaker to grant permission to get on the floor. | ||
| But I was asked by House members to take a picture. | ||
| They made a big deal out of it. | ||
| They didn't need to do that. | ||
| And that's how it happened. | ||
| General, we're going to have Brian Harrison in a moment, and Brian's been coming on to give us an update over the last five or six days of what's going on in the Texas House. | ||
| People's heads are blown up. | ||
| What in the hell is going on in Texas, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, you know, it's always a challenge when the Democrats end up deciding who the leadership is, the speaker in Texas, and that's been going on for 17 years. | |
| And to varying degrees, all of them have some allegiance to the people that got them elected, and that is truly the case in every speaker that I've seen since Joe Strauss pulled this off in, like, 2011. | ||
| The Democrats have had more ability to influence the process than they should, given the fact that we have a majority, a pretty strong majority in the Texas House and a pretty strong majority in the Senate. | ||
| The Senate is controlled by Republicans. | ||
| The House is a mix. | ||
| Are you going to be part – Harrison is going to come in a second. | ||
| He's talking about we're all going to get together tomorrow and work out a plan on how to set things right down there. | ||
| I understand everybody knows you're running in this very important primary against one of the worst guys in the U.S. Senate, Cornyn. | ||
| Will you help Harrison and the rest of the folks down there and, of course, War Room to try to set things right? | ||
| Because Texas is the railhead of MAGA. | ||
| Trump won by 14 points after they beat off $400 million by source to turn it blue. | ||
| This is all grassroots, and the grassroots are just being pillaged down there, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no doubt. | |
| I mean, I was out for nine months campaigning against Republican incumbent House members before this last session. | ||
| We changed out 26 incumbents either quit or were beaten in a primary. | ||
| I'm definitely part of the process of changing the Texas House to become more Republican and to stick together as Republicans instead of letting the Democrats control who gets elected as Speaker in the Texas House. | ||
| General Paxson, where do people go for social media and also to find out about their heroic run for the United States Senate, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
KenPaxson.com and at KenPaxsonTX for Twitter. | |
| Thank you, General Paxton. | ||
| I appreciate you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Looking forward to having you back. | ||
| Harrison, what in the hell is going on today? | ||
| Another Donnie Burke on the last day in the Texas House? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pretty much. | |
| I mean, yeah, it's been a few hours since I've seen you, and just in the last couple hours since we've talked. | ||
| So what have we done in the Texas House? | ||
| On the Texas House floor, the duly elected, multiply elected conservative attorney general of the state of Texas, Ken Paxton, He was kicked off. | ||
| He was removed from the floor of the Texas House by the corrupt, rhino, Democrat-controlled leadership of the Texas House. | ||
| So they move our Attorney General off the House floor. | ||
| Well, what's even more disturbing and alarming is what did they put on the House floor? | ||
| They put a Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders-esque style student loan repayment bill on the House floor. | ||
| And get this, so they moved Ken Paxton off. | ||
| They put a Bernie Sanders-style college student loan repayment program on the House floor. | ||
| We conservatives somehow, a rare success, we killed the bill, which is very rare. | ||
| But House leadership was not going to be content with that. | ||
| We had a bunch of their rhinos go up and literally pretend, you can see it on tape, they made them pretend their voting machines malfunctioned so that they could save this Democrat bill to literally push Joe Biden's agenda on the Texas House floor. | ||
| So Ken Paxton, banned from the Texas House floor. | ||
| Joe Biden's student loan repayment program, that was $40. | ||
| By the way, that bill was just one of 81 Democrat bills that they have put on our bill filing deadline here on the Texas House floor. | ||
| So Texas voters are red, that the Texas government down here, controlled by the Liberal Union Party, they're blue. | ||
| Democrats control the Texas House. | ||
| Our parliamentarian is a Democrat. | ||
| The House rules give Democrats more power than they've ever had. | ||
| They co-chair every single one. | ||
| Of our committees and just in the two weeks leading up to the deadline, I think we passed 200 Democrat bills off the floor of the Texas House. | ||
| It's the biggest form of voter fraud. | ||
| What the hell's the point of election integrity if elected Republicans are just going to give Democrats all their power? | ||
| Explain this to the nation and to the world because, you know, we've got a big global audience. | ||
| I've got Steve Hilton coming on. | ||
| He's running as a populace in California trying to set things right there. | ||
| It sounds like the great state of Texas, the way it runs, actually may be as bad, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In some ways, it's worse. | |
| I mean, we have actually more. | ||
| People like, so let me back up real quick and be clear. | ||
| Texas has got this reputation for leading and freedom and liberty and low taxes and small government. | ||
| But here's the reality. | ||
| For far too long, we have just been coasting on that reputation. | ||
| I'll give you just one example that breaks my heart and makes me angry. | ||
| In some ways, we have bigger government and more regulations than states like California and New York. | ||
| And just one example, we have more occupational licensing regulations than every state in America, and that includes California and New York. | ||
| Just in the last two budget cycles, we have grown our state budget by 40%. | ||
| That's a bigger growth rate than D.C. Democrats come up with or than big blue states like California and New York. | ||
| It's absolutely outrageous, and people have no idea. | ||
| People just think of Texas as this big, great Republican pro-liberty state, elected Trump by 14 points. | ||
| But the Republicans down here, what we have is a bunch of Democrats that know they can't get elected unless they run as Republicans. | ||
| They run as Republicans, they lie to their voters, and then they tax Texans out of their home to advance the Biden agenda. | ||
| And I'm just doing everything I can to expose voters to the truth, to bring transparency. | ||
| And I'm always grateful to you and the posse for opening the eyes, not just of 30 million Texans who need to know the betrayal that these rhinos are exercising against them, but to Republicans who care about saving our state and our country all across the United States. | ||
| You're going to go to work tomorrow to set things right there? | ||
| Because something's not right with Texas. | ||
| If we lose Texas, as Texas goes, so goes the nation, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. | |
| And I was very proud to lock arms in the last primary season with President Trump and Ken Paxton. | ||
| I mean, you just had Ken Paxton on. | ||
| We traveled the state together going into the districts, which is very unpopular, by the way. | ||
| You don't win any popularity contests. | ||
| Actually, I got censured. | ||
| I got censured by the GOP caucus because I had the audacity to endorse and campaign for movement conservatives who wanted to push the Trump agenda, the conservative, the pro-liberty agenda in Texas. | ||
| I was censured for it because I traveled around the state going into my incumbent Rhino colleagues' districts and educating their voters. | ||
| Let me tell you what. | ||
| Texas voters, they are sick and tired of being gaslit by establishment politicians who at every chance vote to grow government and bankrupt the next generation to empower Democrats, to collude with them to destroy liberty. | ||
| Going home, these rhinos going home and telling them. | ||
| They're fighting for small government conservative principles when the reality is they're doing the opposite. | ||
| Texas voters deserve the truth. | ||
| And I couldn't be more excited. | ||
| We're closing out a train wreck, absolute dumpster fire of a session. | ||
| Texas would have been far better off at this liberal crony corporatism, DEI funding, LGBTQ empowering. | ||
| If this session never happened. | ||
| Texans would have been better off, but I'm excited as we go into the next election cycle because these Republicans, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure they have nowhere to hide. | ||
| Their voters deserve the truth. | ||
| Texans deserve bold, real, fearless Republican leadership that will not bend a knee to the swamp, but who's committed to destroying the swamp in Austin. | ||
| Harrison, where do people go for your social media website to follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, at Brian E. Harrison on X, at Brian E. Harrison. | |
| And I ask folks, please take two seconds, go to at Brian E. Harrison on X because none of the media in the whole state of Texas is being willing to tell voters the truth. | ||
| That's why the corrupt Texas House leadership has been able to get away with this for so long, as you just heard Attorney General Paxton talking about. | ||
| The Democrats quite literally select the speaker in the Republican-controlled Texas House. | ||
| So I'm trying to bring a new level of transparency. | ||
| On my X feed, at Brian E. Harrison. | ||
| Please go there and like and share. | ||
| Brian, thank you so much. | ||
| Fight the good fight. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Appreciate you. | |
| Great to be with you, my friend. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| God bless the posse. | ||
| God bless Texas. | ||
| Got a fight down there, but man, we got to save Texas. | ||
| Don't save Texas. | ||
| And you got so many. | ||
| I mean, it's the real hit of MAGA. | ||
| 14-point win. | ||
| Let me go. | ||
| Rogan, and I'm going to bring in Julie here. | ||
| Robert Barnes said this. | ||
| We're not hurtling towards a constitutional crisis. | ||
| We're in a constitutional crisis right now. | ||
| Tell us why. | ||
| Because of these judges, Steve. | ||
| I guarantee if there's actually some investigating into their communications, we would find coordination with these judges, right? | ||
| We already found that Chief Justice Roberts is in the same little secret judge club in D.C. with Judge Bosberg, who, by the way, used to be on the FISA court that approved the warrant to spy on President Trump. | ||
| And then now he's getting picked for all these Trump cases about deporting violent cartels or whatever. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| This is being coordinated, which is why I actually like this investigation by Bongino and Cash into the leaker of the Dobbs decision, because it potentially implicates a conservative Supreme Court justice. | ||
| And I say, if that's true, we figure out who it is. | ||
| And if that is a criminal action, we discuss punitive measures, up to and including impeachment. | ||
| We have to start flexing power. | ||
| The only person flexing actual power right now is President Trump, and he's fighting the entire machine. | ||
| Why is Congress not dragging these judges in for impeachment hearings or at least questioning as to if these are being coordinated or if they believe that federal district judges should have the power to give these national injunctions against the U.S. president by the dozen? | ||
| So it's time to start. | ||
| Taking stronger steps to actually accomplish what President Trump was elected on with majority Hispanic men's support, with a majority vote in this country. | ||
| And that was mass deportations. | ||
| If Trump takes these bold steps, we will have his back. | ||
| We will stand by him. | ||
| Rogan, hang on. | ||
| I'm holding you through the break. | ||
| Julie, is Rogan and Barnes right? | ||
| Are we actually in the crisis right now as you see it? | ||
| We absolutely are. | ||
| And Rogan is, of course, 100% right. | ||
| Where is Congress? | ||
| Where is the U.S. Senate holding? | ||
| If they're not going to go forward with impeachment, we already heard Speaker Mike Johnson say that they won't, then at least hold some sort of public hearing, compel the production of their documents and their communication, just like we saw judges in Washington do to the president and his entire White House team and his campaign staff for four years under the Biden DOJ. | ||
| Look, I have a piece up at my substack, Declassified with Julie Kelly. | ||
| I urge everyone to go there because I have linked an order from appellate court judge James Ho, who last week eviscerated the Supreme Court for its involvement in that Texas Alien Enemies Act lawsuit. | ||
| He compared federal courtrooms to Denny's restaurants, saying that now they are operating on demand 24-7 for these groups, especially the ACLU, to give them whatever they want. | ||
| Not allowing the president or the DOJ or Homeland Security or anyone else time to respond to these lawsuits. | ||
| Rubber stamping all of these special interest groups who are defending illegal aliens who are criminals. | ||
| And so these judges need to be held to account. | ||
| But I urge everyone to read that opinion from James Ho, who should be at the top of the list right now of Donald Trump's Supreme Court shortlist for Supreme Court nominees. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Rogan O'Hanley, the infamous DC Drano, and Julie Kelly next in the war. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCB. | |
| Are you? | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Rogan, you've started something that's going to get big. | ||
| And bigger, and it's actually going to come into effect because President Lincoln had to do it. | ||
| This is a war, 13 million. | ||
| There are 13 million illegal alien invaders in this country. | ||
| We haven't lifted a finger to go after my Yorkers or anybody that did this to this nation. | ||
| You got 13 million here. | ||
| It's not about them as people. | ||
| They all have to go or you don't have a country. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Rogan or Hanley, give me a minute. | ||
| What is your solution? | ||
| Right now, what should President Trump and his administration be doing to sort this mess out? | ||
| Right now, the Supreme Court is debating internally about the extent and the power of these federal district court judges to issue these national injunctions. | ||
| If they make a ruling that they are able to continue completely stalling the presidency, executive two powers to deport illegal aliens, then President Trump will have no choice but to suspend the writ of habeas corpus and save this country. | ||
| The history books will fail. | ||
| All we want is for judges to have the power to issue injunctions for the parties within their court. | ||
| Look what just happened at Harvard with that judge when they stopped Trump from disallowing international students. | ||
| What did the judge do? | ||
| Crazily, they worked as quick as possible to issue this injunction, but they only issued it with Harvard. | ||
| They didn't say Trump couldn't do this to every school across the country, just Harvard, because that's the party before them. | ||
| That's what they should do. | ||
| If there's five Trenda-Aragua illegals up under Alien Enemies Act before a judge, the judge doesn't get to say every Trenda-Aragua across the country is protected. | ||
| They get to say these three or four are protected or they aren't. | ||
| If the Supreme Court does not limit these injunctions to just the parties before the district courts, then that solidifies that we are in a constitutional crisis and Trump will have to take drastic measures to repel this historic invasion. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| D.C., where do people get you on your social media? | ||
| At D.C. Drano on all the platforms. | ||
| It's an honor to be on the war room. | ||
| Listen, this was an idea that you brought up, and now it's got a lot of legs, and people want this because this is a moment in history where a president has a chance to step up and become a historic figure, and I think one of those times is now. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Well, he's a historic figure. | ||
| He's going to become even more of a historic figure. | ||
| I 100% agree with you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Rogan, a guy making it happen. | ||
| Julie Kelly. | ||
| You've been doing this now for four, going on five years. | ||
| Your recommendations? | ||
| I think what Rogan, again, what he said is 100% correct. | ||
| I hate to just keep saying that. | ||
| I hope I don't blow up his ego. | ||
| But he is spot on when he's talking about what is happening with these federal judges in these courtrooms and what he just said about these injunctions. | ||
| And I just want to underscore what he's talking about. | ||
| The ACLU, for example, will go to court. | ||
| They will file a motion for a temporary restraining order, which is the precedent for a preliminary injunction. | ||
| They will name five unabashed. | ||
| Then they ask for class-wide status. | ||
| The judges immediately do that. | ||
| So think about that. | ||
| You have five anonymous illegals. | ||
| Then they ask the judge, okay, take these five anonymous illegals, turn that into an entire class, which is what Judge Bosberg did in the very first lawsuit in Washington in March. | ||
| Then everyone is covered. | ||
| Then none of them can be deported. | ||
| Then they are due due process rights and notification. | ||
| And then you have judges on top of that saying, well, the Alien Enemies Act is not legitimate because there is no invasion. | ||
| There is no predatory incursion. | ||
| These are judges, for example, the one in Colorado, she's been a judge for three years. | ||
| She's no background in immigration or foreign policy or anything. | ||
| She hasn't even analyzed these cases. | ||
| She hasn't analyzed the huge influx of illegal Venezuelans, which reached historic levels during the Biden administration. | ||
| Think about this, Steve. | ||
| In 2023, Venezuela was second only to Mexico. | ||
| And the number of migrants who are crossing the southern border. | ||
| This is an invasion. | ||
| This is an incursion. | ||
| So how do you have these federal judges not just protecting these illegals, but defying the president and his team, who of course have analyzed this, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, including AG Pambandi and her team. | ||
| And you have some random federal DEI judge in Colorado. | ||
| Who is disagreeing with this entire administration and defying the will of the American people who made immigration the number one issue in the 2024 election. | ||
| So these judges, and again, shame on Congress for being so silent and so cowardly in taking on these judges. | ||
| Steve, if we would have held impeachment proceedings, and you and I talked about this a few years ago, for Beryl Howell or Amit Mehta. | ||
| Or any of the other D.C. judges who were completely destroying the constitutional rights of Americans for J6, we would see a much different judicial climate right now. | ||
| But instead, they are all off the rails and every single one of them acting in rogue capacity. | ||
| And Congress didn't take any – the $10 billion didn't take $2 billion off. | ||
| They did nothing. | ||
| Julie, social media, where do people go to follow you on your substack? | ||
| All of it. | ||
