Speaker Time Text
donald j trump
I really have no uh really nothing to say about it.
Uh she is uh being talked to by a very smart man, by a very good man, Todd Blanche.
And uh I don't know anything about the conversation.
I haven't really been following it.
A lot of people are asking me about pardons, obviously.
This is no time to be talking about pardons.
But a lot of people have asked about pardon.
This is just not a time to be talking about pardons.
Todd will come back with whatever he's got.
You make it a very big thing over something that's not a big thing.
You should be talking about, if you're going to talk about that, talk about Clinton, talk about the former president of Harvard, talk about all of his friends, talk about the hedge fund guys that were with him all the time.
Don't talk about Trump.
What you should be talking about is the fact that we have the greatest six months in the history of a presidency, according to a lot of people.
And we had an amazing six months.
unidentified
Did you ask House Republican leaders to not vote on the resolution of the president?
donald j trump
No, I was never involved in that.
I'm focused on making deals.
I'm not focused on conspiracy theories that you are.
I mean, I watch you people.
It's so sad.
You ought to talk about the success of our country instead of this nonsense you talk about over and over again.
unidentified
Round two, ready to go in for round two.
david markus
We're hoping for another productive day.
You know, it's...
If you looked up Scapegoat in the dictionary, her face would be next to the dictionary definition of it.
So, you know, we're grateful for this opportunity to finally be able to say what really happened, and that's what we're going to do yesterday and today.
unidentified
I know you didn't want to discuss the substantive questions that the Deputy Attorney General was asking, but can you talk about her and how she's feeling about the meeting and what might be coming out of it?
Yeah, she's keeping her spirits up as much as she can.
She's one of the strongest people I've ever met.
david markus
She's been in terrible, awful conditions for five years.
We wouldn't keep animals the way she's been kept in prison.
So, you know, it's unbelievable that she can keep her spirits up this high, and we're proud of her.
brianna keilar
Everything Gillon Maxwell told them yesterday and today.
Her lawyer says she answered questions about roughly 100 people during her meetings with Deputy Attorney General and former personal attorney to President Trump, Todd Blanche.
david markus
About 100 different people.
She answered questions about everybody, and she didn't hold anything back.
unidentified
David Oscar Marcus, the attorney there, also confirming no further meetings with DOJ are planned now, adding the focus now shifting to whether Gillen Maxwell will talk to lawmakers in two weeks after that congressional subpoena and possible get out of jail free card.
david markus
We haven't spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet.
And, you know, listen, the president this morning said he had the power to do so.
We hope he exercises that power in the right and just way.
Maxwell would welcome any relief.
She's been in very difficult conditions for five years.
And so she would welcome any relief.
It's the right thing to do, and we have faith that the right thing will happen sooner rather than later.
I think Glenn did a wonderful job.
She literally answered every question.
unidentified
With the president even invoking the word pardon today, does she have an incentive to just tell the Deputy Attorney General what he wants to hear?
david markus
No, because she wants to tell the truth, because the truth can be corroborated or disproven.
We haven't spoken to the president or anybody about a pardon just yet.
And, you know, listen, the president this morning said he had the power to do so.
We hope he exercises that power in the right and just way.
unidentified
Would you consider a pardon or a commutation for Keelan Maxwell?
donald j trump
It's something I haven't thought about.
It's not recommended.
I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I have not thought about.
david markus
You wouldn't rule it out.
steve bannon
This is the final scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA Media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
steve bannon
It's Friday, 25 July, Year of Our Lord 2025, the Friday afternoon show.
Thank you guys for tuning in.
Now, a huge guest bombshell.
In the afternoon, the lawyer for Maxwell came out at 1230 when it wrapped up.
You know, it was pretty matter of fact, then later said that they talked about 100 names.
Now, this is not 100 names, at least the way it's written.
It's not 100 names she gave them.
It's 100 names that they asked her about.
We know from the influencers who I talked to, Sama got the binders.
The binders were, I think, were taken from his black book.
It had 349 names in it.
And now they talked about 100.
I don't know if that's one the Justice Department want a further investigation on, but this gets murkier and murkier.
Today Blanche, it's over for today.
I'm not so sure you're going to have the House Oversight Committee down interviewing her on the 11th of August.
I think this thing is about to get quite complicated when they talked about 100 names, but more of that.
You notice when the President got off the plane in Scotland, I don't think they asked him any questions at all about the treasonous conspiracy.
In fact, MSMEC today, we were obviously we monitor that, CNN, all these all the time.
Chris Jansen was, when they had a clip of Trump in the morning, President Trump in the morning, when he pivoted and talked about Bill Clinton and Leon Black and all these other financiers that are associates of Epstein and in the book, literally they said, we're not going to play those names.
They are obsessed with this right now.
Of course, Todd Blanche, the safe pair of hands over at the Justice Department now in charge, they asked all questions about approximately 100 names, and I'm sure we'll get more on that tonight over the weekend, et cetera.
Mike Davis joins us, Mike, by phone, and another huge win for the Justice Department.
One of the things people, and this is why you either get a special counsel or you take a U.S. attorney and put it on this, because Todd doesn't have the time to do this.
I mean, he's a deputy attorney general.
The whole building reports to him.
And Pam and the team are quite frankly overwhelmed with, I don't know, 175, 200 lawsuits on President Trump's Article II powers.
But another massive victory today, sir, in court?
mike davis
Yeah, another massive victory.
A D.C. district court judge sided with the Trump administration, with President Trump and his team, on the continued dismantling of U.S. AID, this grift that the D.C. Uniparty has.
It's basically the D.C. elite's party planners.
They sell it to the American people, U.S. AID to the American people like they're curing malaria in Africa.
And really, it's a money laundering operation for the Democrat and really the Uniparty elite in D.C. So what Judge Carl Nichols said was that what we've been saying on your show for a long time with you and me and Julie Kelly and many others, that the proper recourse for people who were fired from the federal government is to go to the Merit Systems Protection Board.
The proper recourse for contractors who were fired from the federal government is to go to the Court of Federal Claims.
The USAID was created by executive order.
There are parts of it that have been funded by statute, but this judge today correctly ruled that the president has the article to power to keep dismantling these agencies down to the statutory minimum.
And the recourse for people who are harmed is not running to an activist judge in D.C. or another place and getting a temporary restraining order and a nationwide injunction and all the other illegal acts, this judicial sabotage that we've been seeing against President Trump over the last six months.
I would say this, that you're starting to see these courts understand because of the President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bonnie's monumental wins at the Supreme Court of the United States that the president has the executive power, all executive power under Article II.
And these are huge wins for the presidency.
steve bannon
Two things.
You said this.
I just want to make sure I'm thinking about this the right way and the audience can get the information.
Do you think some of these wins we've had the Supreme Court now, even these radical judges down at the district level saying, hey, I'm just going to get it overturned.
It'll just be more embarrassing.
So let's just, I'll just do it myself.
And that's why we're starting to get these wins in the district court that have kind of picked up over the last 72 hours?
mike davis
Yes.
I mean, you're still going to have some of these radical activist judges who are, you know, taking their cyanide bills in the bunker.
But I think that the message is being sent and received throughout most of the federal judiciary that the judicial sabotage must end.
steve bannon
Mike, also, you've taught us, you got us up to speed on the Article II powers of the president.
This comes from, he's got three broad, chief executive, commander-in-chief, and chief magistrate, chief law enforcement officer.
In the bucket or in the segment that is the vertical that is chief executive officer, he's starting to win now on he's got the ability to fire these people, alphabet agencies, all that, take it down to statutory minimums.
What about the other power of actually impounding the money?
In other words, what it was up until Nixon got in trouble with 71.72.
mike davis
Yeah, I mean, that's something that's not.
steve bannon
Is this sending us a signal that they're prepared to back us on the impoundment of Trump can actually make a decision on not spending the money and start to cut the deficits that way, sir?
mike davis
I think that's a tougher fight, but I think that Mark Pialetta, who's the general counsel at the Office of Management and Budget, a good friend of all of ours, has been making this argument for many years that when the Congress has the power of the purse, certainly, right?
They have the power to appropriate, but the President has a separate constitutional duty to take care that our laws are faithfully executed under Article II of the Constitution.
And so, for example, if Congress appropriates $2 billion to what it thinks is going to Gaza humanitarian relief and the President of the United States finds out that it's going to be spent on Hamas terrorists who are killing Americans, the President has a constitutional duty under Article II to stop that.
If Congress appropriates $2 billion and it's going to go to waste, fraud, and abuse, the President has a separate constitutional duty under the Take Care Clause to make sure that that doesn't happen.
So that's where the President is certainly on firm footing when it comes to empowerment, when it comes to national security and waste, fraud, and abuse.
steve bannon
You're very close to that.
And so I'm not asking about the content of things, but you're very close to the team at DOJ.
And they have two big things in Rome.
Clearly, this Epstein situation and also the treasonous conspiracy.
Just given the manpower, given how few people they've actually gotten in over there, given the fact that the confirmations have been slow walked, and we now know it looks like Thune and Johnson are not going to go out to give the possibility to do recess appointments.
Right.
What is your sense on both Epstein and the treasonous conspiracy that actually?
I tell you what, Mike, if you could hang on for a second, I'm just going to hold you through a quick break because we're coming up on break.
Mike Davis with us.
Fred Flights, the former Deputy National Security Advisor to the President of the United States in his first term, is going to join us right after Mike.
He's got an incredible piece up about what's important in this House intel that just got released after Nunez and Cash and Derek Harvey fought for years to get it released.
You're going to find out some of the inside baseball, what President Trump felt.
Mike Davis is going to be here talking about the workload over at Maine Justice.
Also, he can give us some insights on Alina Haba.
Looks like she's still going to be in New Jersey, Pan Bonnie playing smash mouth with these radical judges.
In addition, huge news coming on redistricting.
Guess what?
Florida's in the game.
Ron DeSantis goes, hey, look, we've had such a shift in demographics.
We got to do one mid-decade.
They talked today about Missouri maybe getting in the game.
I don't know.
It could be 10 or 11 seats getting redistricted in a real throwdown.
That's one of the reasons we're going to be all over Texas on Monday.
Short commercial break.
Mike Davis on the other side.

This is how I follow Mike Davis's, all of his, everything he puts up.
And I saw Fred Flights', the article retarpan in a moment.
I hope we have a show here.
There is a massive thunderstorm in the Imperial Capitol.
I hope we don't get knocked out here, but we'll press on.
It's actually started, man.
This one's a big one.
One of those late afternoon summer thunderstorms.
Mike Davis, so first of all the capacity.
Do you think it's time now to bring in one of these U.S. attorneys from one of the districts?
They get a special counsel.
I mean, Mark Levin made a good point yesterday.
He said, look, if you take a special counsel, it's going to take forever to get them up to speed.
Use somebody inside the U.S. attorneys, you know, one of the local U.S. attorneys, or do something to expedite.
He's talking about the treasonous conspiracy.
I think both of them, they ought to be merged together.
But if Todd Blanch is sitting there for two days, and you know Todd, if Todd's taking two days and being deputy attorney general to talk to Maxwell and they're talking about 100 names, there's going to be a little bit of investigation.
It's going to be a time sink.
What's your just recommendation for management of manpower?
mike davis
I think Todd and Pam are, they have a good team at the Justice Department.
John Sauer's over there, the guy who won the presidential immunity decision for President Trump.
You have Harmee Dillon in the Civil Rights Division who could help with any conspiracy against rights investigation on crossfire hurricane.
You have U.S. attorneys, nominees going through the process.
You can appoint U.S. attorneys on a 120-day appointment immediately, and then you can essentially reappoint them for another 210 days if you have to, like we saw with Alina Haba in New Jersey.
So I don't, look, here's the problem with special counsel.
It takes too long to get them up and running.
You can't have a special counsel down in the Southern District of Florida because Judge Cannon ruled that was unconstitutional during Jack Smith's investigation.
And if you just have good management, good leadership like Todd Blanche provides, he can manage this.
And I'm not concerned about having a special counsel counselor.
steve bannon
Well, you'd have to get somebody's confirmed like Emma Bovey, but he's going to be a judge, but you have to get somebody confirmed to be a special counsel now, given the fight that you and Boris and Todd and Everybody had down in South Florida.
It's now, I think it's considered if you're going to name a special counsel, it has to be confirmed by the Senate, sir?
mike davis
Well, at least in the Southern District of Florida, because Canada's opinion is binding there.
It's persuasive everywhere else.
But look, I don't think they can run any of these investigations through a U.S. Attorney's Office, and Todd is the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche as the Deputy Attorney General, and Harmee Dylan as the head of civil rights, and Cash Patel and Dan Bongino over at the FBI can give this U.S. Attorney's Office whatever resources they need.
steve bannon
We're going to get flights on here in a minute about the treasonous conspiracy.
Let me go back.
Alina Chabab, please make this make sense to us.
Is she now, because Pam fired what the judges put in as, I guess, her deputy of first assistant, is Alina Chabab, as we sit here at 5.15 Eastern Day, p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on a Friday afternoon in July, is she now back to being acting or interim U.S. attorney in New Jersey, sir?
mike davis
Yes.
She was appointed for 120 years.
So generally how U.S. attorneys work is you have the president and his White House staff have to work with the home state senators to get their stupid blue slips back for these U.S. attorneys, meaning both home state senators have to sign off on it.
If you don't get that, you can't nominate under 100 plus years of Senate tradition.
I hate the blue slips.
I tried to get rid of them before when I was there.
I helped push grassly to get rid of blue slips for circuit judges, but blue slips are not going away for U.S. Attorney, U.S. Marshal, and district court judges.
There would be 100 senators of revolt, as I say, if they lost the ability to hand-select the prosecutor who would prosecute the home state senators, the district court judge who would oversee the state.
Is Alina who would escort them to prison?
So Alina's there.
She was on a 128-day appointment.
The corrupt district court judges in New Jersey, 17 of them, 15 of whom were appointed by Biden and Obama, polluted, and they picked their own hand-picked successor to Alina.
I don't know how that's constitutional, but they did it.
So Pam Bondi, to her great credit, fired the corrupt district court judges pick, and she reinstalled Alina Haba as the first assistant U.S. attorney in New Jersey, and that made her the acting U.S. Attorney in New Jersey.
Alina's back, and Pam gave the corrupt judges a big middle finger.
steve bannon
This shows you Trump is fully into the fight club.
He ain't going to back off an inch.
These U.S. attorneys are vitally important.
He ain't backing off.
They're going to play games.
He's going to come back at you.
Talking about, and folks, the C-block, or keep Fred over there, into the C-block.
Major announcement today, Ron DeSantis throws down, he says, hey, I think there's five demographic shifts.
We're going to do something mid-decade.
He's talking about five seats in Florida.
We know there's already identified five seats in Texas, and there's a special session.
We're going to be all over that tomorrow and on Monday all day.
I think now they're talking about Missouri for one, Ohio for a couple.
Mike Davis, there's 12 to 14 seats in play here, and the Democrats are locked up.
They've got to change the Constitution, I think, in California, Illinois, and New York, so it's not as easy.
10 to 14 seats, maybe more.
Give me your thoughts on that one, brother.
mike davis
The Republicans should 100% do this.
Republicans need to learn how to earn power and use power like Democrats do every day and like they've done every day for the last 100 years.
Republicans need to learn how to play tough, take off the gloves, put on the brass knuckles, and break your political opponent's glass jaws, right?
And so 100% these Republicans should move forward.
Democrats would do this to us all day, every day.
All day long.
Let's play smash mouth.
steve bannon
Mike Davis, where do people go for Article 3 to get you and all your information, sir?
mike davis
Article3project.org.
Article number 3project.org.
You can donate only what you can afford.
Follow us on social media.
Take action.
Most important action is confirming Emel Bove for the third circuit.
His vote's going to be on Tuesday.
Go to that Emel Bove action item and contact both of your home state senators and make sure they find and keep their backbones and don't waiver.
steve bannon
Always important.
Go to Article 3 today.
Win after win after win, folks.
Thank you, Mike.
mike davis
Thank you.
steve bannon
Talk about another one.
Patriot Mobile.
I'll be down with the Patriot Mobile people.
I will be with them.
We haven't actually figured out how we're going to do this, but we're going to do it.
972 Patriot, best phone service in the country.
People that support your values, you know how great they are.
Their pack is at the tip of the spear of the situation in Texas.
Five seats, special session.
Kind of crabbed sideways the first couple of days.
Going to set things right.
Must get those seats.
Remember, when we get to 2030, things are going to be fine because of the demographic shift.
I think there's going to pick up another 10 or 12 they're talking about.
The demographic shift to the south and southwest.
But here mid-decade, it looks like enough in Texas, enough in Florida.
This is going to be a good old Donnybrook.
Okay.
972 Patriot.
Go talk to a U.S. citizen in customer service and find out all of the benefits of switching today, but make that switch today.

Fred Flights, amazing piece up in American Greatness.
I did see this first, although Fred sent it to me.
I was so overwhelmed.
I saw it up on Getter.
I see I was on Getter.
Popped right up there, man.
Had tons of comments and shares and reposts.
Fred, you were the deputy national security advisor for President Trump in the first term.
Walk me through this piece.
We talked about the House intelligence because we should be talking about treason as a conspiracy.
Of course, nobody in the media this morning asked about it.
Nobody in the media in Scotland asked about it.
President Trump's got to bring it up.
Your thoughts on this report that came out, sir?
fred fleitz
Steve, it's great to be here.
There's a lot going on here that people don't know.
When I was in the NSC, I was allowed to read this report in the summer of 2018, and I thought it was hard-hitting.
It was very carefully written.
It was objective.
It says some things that President Trump's MAGA supporters may not agree with.
But I think it was something that needed to get out.
But it's been locked up at the CIA since 2018.
And I think a lot of people want to know why.
I think one reason is because it proves conclusively that the Steel dossier was heavily used in this January 2017 intelligence community assessment that Obama ordered to sabotage the Trump presidency.
But you know, Steve, that really wasn't enough to explain why this was locked up.
I think I know what the reason is, why this report was considered so dangerous.
Not only does the House report suggest that the authors of the intelligence report thought Putin may have wanted Hillary to win, but the Russians had compromise on Hillary.
They thought that they could leverage her, including these new reports that they had indications of psychological treatment for Hillary.
And I think that's something that the CI did not want released, Democratic congressmen did not want released.
That's why it was so bad that in late 2020, when President Trump asked the CI to release it, Gina Hospital said no, and Trump even considered going to the agency to retrieve this report himself.
And I know this because former Fox News anchor Lou Dobbs told me this and consulted with me on the discussions at the White House to try to get this thing out so the American people could read it before the 2020 election.
steve bannon
That is pretty stunning.
Give me that one more time.
because Lou Dobbs was very close to the president.
I tell you what, Fred, hang on for a second.
I'm going to hold you through the break.
I want to take a moment to make sure that we get this done and get it done right.
The reason is this report was finished in 2018.
It was actually finished before then, but let's say 2018, the final.
Cash Patel now head of the FBI and Derek Harvey, right, who is a long-term contributor here, they were the chief investigator on the House Intelligence Committee under Devin Nunez, and Cash was the general counsel.
Hello.
And these guys can vouch for this report held for another seven years.
Think about that.
Seven years.
Short commercial break.
Home Title Lock promo code Steve.
Go there today for the $1 million triple lock protection.
Do it.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon
The home title lock, it's $1 million triple lock protection.
You get 24-hour coverage, alerts immediately if anything happens, and they get a $1 million restoration project.
If all else fails, remember that title is the only thing that says that you actually own your castle, which is about, I don't know, 80 or 90% of your net worth.
So don't let anybody with artificial intelligence and cyber rogue actors, bad accountants, lawyers, maybe a couple of three family members.
You never know.
Go to Natalie Dominguez, hometitlect.com, promo code Steve, and do it today.
Check it out.
Maybe a homework assignment over the weekend.
Big show tomorrow.
Judy Shelton, formerly in the Federal Reserve and official in the Trump first term, will be with us.
We're going to break it all down, continue on with the Fed and about the interest rates and what the capital markets are looking to.
Fred, flights.
So for seven years, this thing's been held back.
I want to hit the rewind button and why you say it was really held back because there are some bombshells coming out on this thing about, and you dropped it.
There was a great buried lead here about Lou Dobbs and President Trump saying, heck with it.
I'm going to go over and get it.
That shows you how much control we got of the CIA, by the way.
Just duly note that, right?
President's got to go over and get his report.
Why do you say now that after reviewing this that you think they really held it back, sir?
fred fleitz
You know, it was bizarre because when I read it in 2018, I thought it would be released by the end of the year, but the CI dragged its feet and Nunes lost control of the committee because the Republicans lost the House.
They then wouldn't release it because Adam Schiff became the chairman and he wouldn't agree.
But I think there's lots in this report that's very damning.
The Steele dossier is part of it.
But I think this information on the compromise that the Russians had against Hillary Clinton and their belief that she'd be the better president for Russia, that's something that no one in the Democratic Party wanted to talk about.
The CIA did not want that to get out.
Now, I had read assessments before that maybe the Russians wanted Hillary to win because they thought she was a weaker candidate.
But this idea that they had stuff on her that they would use to manipulate a Clinton presidency, that's something new.
And I think the CIA and the Democrats were desperate to hide this.
steve bannon
Fred, last question.
I asked this of Mike Davis.
Do you think, given how people want to get on with this?
Obviously, the president said a coup and treasonous conspiracy a couple of times, a couple from the Oval Office.
I mean, we've never had that in the history of this country.
To expedite getting on with it, knowing the workload over DOJ, what is your recommendation how we proceed?
They announced a strike force that's going to happen.
What's your recommendation to Pam Bondi and the president, if he asked you?
fred fleitz
You know, this whole Russia collusion thing did enormous damage to the reputation of U.S. intelligence.
Presidents aren't going to trust intelligence agencies if they think it's being run by partisan hacks.
Let's prosecute everyone.
Let's put everyone in front of congressional committees.
Is Obama going to get off because of presidential immunity?
Maybe he will, but let's make him sweat.
Let's make him hire attorneys.
Let's force him to explain what he did in 2018, 2019, 2020.
We need to send a message to the people in the intelligence community.
You can't do this.
And if you do, to advance your career when one party is in power, we will catch you eventually and you'll pay a high price.
steve bannon
Fred, you're putting up great stuff all the time.
Where do people go on social media to keep up with your thinking and your writing, sir?
fred fleitz
I'm on Twitter at Fred Flights, and I have the same handle on True Social.
I might add Devin Nunes posted my piece on True Social today.
I'm very grateful to him because this report is a tribute to Devin Yunes' leadership on the House Intelligence Committee, which is really hard because Adam Schiff.
I'm also at the American First Policy Institute, AmericaFirstPolicy.com, if you want to read my analysis.
steve bannon
Fred, thank you so much for joining us on a Friday.
fred fleitz
Good to be here.
steve bannon
As a thunderstorm, let's thunderstorm here in the imperial capital.
Let's do this show.
Okay, we got redistricting.
Let's go ahead and play.
I got a cold open.
Let's hit it.
unidentified
It may soon follow Texas in a mid-decade redistricting plan ahead of next year's election.
ron desantis
The way the population has shifted around Florida just since the census was done in 2020, I think the state is malapportioned.
So I do think it would be appropriate to do a redistricting here in the mid-decade.
So we're working through what that would look like.
unidentified
Democrats aren't giving up without a fight.
This morning, appearing virtually, Congressman Jamie Raskin told an audience at the Voters of Tomorrow Summit why the stakes of all of this are so high.
jamie raskin
If voting were not urgent, they would not be working so hard to pass voter suppression mechanisms all over the country.
They would not be working so hard to disenfranchise people.
And they would not be down there in Austin, Texas right now trying to figure out how to gerrymander us into oblivion in Texas.
And then they're going next to Missouri and Ohio and Florida.
So we're in the fight of our lives, my friends.
unidentified
We are in the fight of our lives, my friend, says Jamie Raskin.
Is it that big a deal?
jim messina
It really is, Chris.
I mean, what the Republicans are trying to do here is if you can't win the normal way, they're trying to cheat.
And, you know, the crazy thing about what they're doing in Florida is, Chris, they've already done this.
They've already gone and redistricted once.
They picked up four seats.
It was only done over the objections of the entire state, held up by partisan judges and Ron DeSantis.
And now they're saying, look, we're likely to lose the House in 2026 if we don't do this.
And so we've got to do it.
You know, this is actually trying to steal the House of Representatives by changing the maps in big states like Texas and like Florida.
And the outcome really hinges on do we want a democracy that's actually functional?
brianna keilar
As you know, a lot of people are focused on this special session that you're in right now.
Will state Democrats walk out of the session to deny Republicans a quorum on redistricting?
james talarico
Well, Donald Trump is trying to rig the next election as we speak in broad daylight, right in front of our eyes.
You know, he and his allies in Congress just passed the largest transfer of wealth in American history with their big, beautiful bill, kicking millions of people, including millions of Texans, off their health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
steve bannon
And they know it's un Yo, Democrats, if this is your guy for president, good on you.
Put him up.
Let him roll.
I'm not seeing it, not feeling it.
In Florida, for you Floridians, we have a huge audience down there.
The ones that are looking at Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida 25.
Jared Moscovich, Florida 23.
Lois Frankel, Florida 20.
Kathy Caster, Florida 14.
Darren Soto, Florida 9.
You take five there.
You take five in Texas.
That's 10.
They're looking for a couple in Ohio and Missouri.
You get 13, 14.
I don't know, maybe 15.
Yo, demographics are shifting, man.
These Illinois people running away from Illinois.
They're running away from New York.
You're going to see that in the 2030.
You're going to see that 2030 consensus.
Cortez is with me.
You're here to talk about Obama and your film because the president's going after Obama as the head of a conspiracy to lead a coup d'etat.
But, Steve, you spend so much time in Texas, and you're one of the key reasons that Texas, Trump won by 14 points, and you've shifted help, your shoulder went to the wheel to make sure the Hispanic community down there knows about MAGA, particularly in South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.
What about five, you think you think it's feasible for us to redistrict five seats down in Texas, sir?
steve cortes
Oh, yes.
Listen, let's roll.
Let's light that candle.
We need to do this.
By the way, it makes perfect sense, even beyond the wonderful political benefits that we will reap here.
When you look at the country in 2020, it is clear that the census was not taken correctly during the COVID panic.
In addition, we had such massive movements because of the COVID panic, such shifts between states and even within states, that it's necessary for us to do this.
So yes, every red state should do this.
By the way, they should follow the lead of my now home state of Tennessee, which already redistricted and went from 7-2 to 8-1.
They were gangsters in the Tennessee legislature.
We have to be gangsters because guess what?
The Democrats are in every single state they control.
When you look at my former home state of Illinois, the way the Democrats drew the congressional maps there, it's almost laughable, the size and shape of these ludicrous districts to make sure they got as many Dems as possible.
You know, so we can't, when they bring a shiv to a fight, we can't say we're going to obey Marcus of Queensbury rules on our side.
No, we need to do this.
And as I said, there's a total justification.
By the way, I would go even further than that, Steve.
We should do this, of course.
But I think there should be another national census.
You know, the Constitution does not preclude that.
It says you have to have a census at least every 10 years.
But we could do another national census.
2020 wasn't done right because of the COVID panic.
And it also wasn't done right because we counted illegals.
And illegals should not count the census.
So I think we should do it again nationally as well.
steve bannon
Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller put in, remember, we've had this big fight with commerce, had a big fight in the courts.
They support us.
It absolutely should not count illegal aliens, particularly as many illegal aliens came across in Biden.
I agree.
So talk to me.
What do we need to do to get a census, a mid-year census, a mid-decade census, because it says it's got to be done at least every 10 years.
Nothing precludes us because you know the big demographic shifts.
We're talking about picking up just in 2030 alone, I think they're talking about 12 seats just in the demographics of going to Florida and the South, Tennessee, North Carolina, and in Texas, sir.
Your thoughts?
steve cortes
Right, exactly.
So all those states you just mentioned are going to pick up seats, South Carolina, all of them.
And President Trump, in terms of the legality here, he doesn't have to do anything other than use his pen.
We don't have to go get a new law.
He can order a new census.
Now, clearly, it would get challenged in the courts.
So we know we'd have to be ready for that fight, of course.
But again, he'd be on solid constitutional and logical ground here, that there is a significant reason to redo the census.
Nothing in the Constitution says that we can't do it more often than every 10 years.
And if we do it right now and we exclude the illegal aliens, I mean, do you know what that will do to the California delegation if we're not counting the illegals who clearly should not be counted, not constitutionally, not by tenants of justice, not by just logic?
If we do that, it would be incredible.
And I hope President Trump's at least considering it.
steve bannon
Talk to me about, I want to get you on about this Obama film.
And one of the reasons President Trump, I mean, it's unprecedented, obviously.
He's sitting there saying, hey, this guy's ahead of a coup, tried to take me out.
We've got the receipts now.
It's all about, you know, has DOJ got the capacity to kind of, they've called the strike force.
You got to get on with it.
I'm going to play the clip on the other side.
But just the entire thing with Obama and, dude, you sent me the first picture and the other people have been sending.
I guess there's new pictures coming out.
What in the hell is this brother doing in the south side of Chicago?
What is he building?
That thing is, it looks like the rice stag.
You know, it's insane.
What is that?
steve cortes
Yeah.
I mean, I'm laughing because it's ridiculous, okay?
But it's also sad.
And there's a tweet from Laura Ingram, who's kind of got this topic going today on social media.
By the way, that's almost done.
So please don't think that, oh, that's just so under construction.
It looks nothing like the final product.
No, if you look at the Drawings.
That's finally getting close to done.
And by the way, when I say getting close, five years late, three times the initial budget.
It was 300 million out of the gate.
It's almost a billion with a B, almost a billion dollars now.
By the way, Chicago, and as a native Chicagoan, we are so proud of our architecture.
Chicago is the home of modern architecture.
It's the center of American architecture in many ways.
This hideous monstrosity, this monument to Obama's ego, it's not just disgustingly ugly, which it is.
It's also completely out of scale because it's in the middle of Jackson Park on the south side of Chicago, near the University of Chicago.
Nothing close to this magnitude, to this size is anywhere near it.
So the scale, the aesthetics, it's this brutalist architecture, which I think, Steve, is meant to intimidate you.
I don't think that's an accident, that it's ugly and brutal.
Again, I think there is a message being sent there.
The absolutely exorbitant cost, eating up so much public parkland in Chicago.
And by the way, maybe most of all, when think of what Barack Obama, if he actually cared, if he actually gave a crap about the people on the south side of Chicago that he used and exploited to become president of the United States, think of what he could do if he invested himself and that billion dollars into the south side of Chicago instead of building a massive monument to megalomania.
And that's what this is.
And Steve, when I saw this, it's when I got the idea for my documentary.
I couldn't believe how hideous it was.
And I said, I've got to do a documentary here and I've got to use this building as the backdrop, which we did, because I think once we show America, once we show a lot of Chicagoans even aren't aware of this.
And people in the Chicago suburbs, by the way, like a lot of big cities, they don't even go downtown anymore because it's too dangerous, right?
So they don't know what's going on down there.
So I think it's important.
I'm glad Laura Ingram is showing it to people.
I'm showing it to people in my documentary.
And I think it sickly is representative of Obama, actually.
steve bannon
Hang on one second.
We're going to go to a short commercial break and play your trailer on the other side.
unidentified
We're going to go to a short commercial break.
steve cortes
Who is Barack Obama, really?
unidentified
He took us backward.
He didn't leave it better than he found it.
There's never been anything more about hope.
steve cortes
A stunning 30% decline in the net worth of black households in America under Obama.
unidentified
About how America needs hope and change, like that crap?
That didn't happen.
And I'm still waiting for that.
steve bannon
You know, you don't see a lot of people saying, oh, gosh, we wish I had Obama back.
You never hear that anymore.
Steve, now more than ever, that this seditious conspiracy, treasonous conspiracy is now becoming a thing, more than ever, people got to be focused on Obama.
President Trump is Obama's coup.
Where do they go to get your film, sir?
steve cortes
Yeah, please go to CortezInvestigates.com.
I think you'll find it really compelling, especially those Chicago guests all shot in Chicago.
Kenneth Woodard, who you just saw there, by the way, has been on your show before, Steve.
He's a War Room alum, wonderful young man.
So go to CortezInvestigates.com.
It's also pinned at the top of my social media, of my Twitter.
I'm at Cortez Steve Cortez with an S at the end.
Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
Have I not seen this?
Did they have any windows in this thing?
The side I've looked at, the three sides of the window.
steve cortes
It doesn't look like it.
steve bannon
I've seen one window.
Are there any windows?
steve cortes
Or barely.
I mean, you can barely see them if they are.
And I was pretty dang close.
I was as close as you can get, you know, being a construction site, and you can barely see windows.
No, it is a Soviet-esque concrete blob that is so, again, so out of scale, it's almost hard to describe.
steve bannon
In an era of transparency, he didn't read the room.
What are they hiding?
No, seriously, why do you build it with no windows?
What are you hiding?
steve cortes
Yeah, well, given recent revelations, he's hiding quite a lot, right?
steve bannon
Quite a lot.
Maybe even a birth certificate.
Hello, I went there.
Steve Cortez, what's your social media?
steve cortes
Thank you.
So, yeah, you find me on Twitter at Cortez Steve, Cortez with an S at the end, and then all my content, including this documentary, at CortezInvestigates.com.

See you on tomorrow morning show.

Stick around.
It's going to be an amazing show.
Already the engine room.
Boy, you folks were on the trigger sending me a couple, three things about birth certificates.
Okay, let's not go.
Listen, I'm just saying, I'm throwing it out there.
Here's what's quite obvious.
They always thought Hillary was going to win.
They never even dawned on them that Trump would.
And so they were in panic mode after we won in the come from behind in 2016.
Now, why is that?
Of course, Trump is going to have to go through the deep state theater, but it wasn't as pronounced as we're talking about it over the last couple of years and still in the 2020 election.
I mean, now they know they're coming for it.
So why were they so panicked?
Hey, I don't know.
Maybe are they concerned about people getting into the records and checking out, I don't know, some legitimacy of some folks.
Far be it from me to say that.
But isn't it interesting?
I think we can make the case that the last two Democrat presidents, in fact, the Democrat presidents of the 21st century, hmm.
I think we have big questions about their legitimacy.
Yes, I went there.
We know Biden was just put in by the regime, right?
By the deep state.
No doubt about that.
The laptop from hell, all of it.
It's all got to come out and be adjudicated.
We just can't be talking about talk shows and shows like the war room.
This is why we need the Justice Department to step up.
We've got to get a process here.
We've got to get top people.
All the information.
Reverse of Obama's.
This thing in Chicago is weird.
I knew when they first started billing, it looked strange, but man, now that it's up, just don't take it from me.
