| Texas Republicans, following the demands of President Trump, unveiled a new congressional map this week that could hand the GOP five additional house seats, each drawn in areas Trump carried by double digits. | ||
| And the plan is moving quickly. | ||
| After a marathon hearing on Friday, the committee could vote to approve the maps today, setting up a full House vote as early as this Tuesday before it goes to the Texas State Senate. | ||
| California governor Gavin Newsom has already signalled he is prepared to respond, floating a congressional map that could pick up six Democratic house seats if Texas moves forward. | ||
| And Texas Democrats are not holding back, calling out the Republicans' blatantly political moves. | ||
| This is not a Texas map. | ||
| It is a Trump map. | ||
|

|
It was not requested by any Republican or Democrat in Texas. | |
| It was imposed by President Trump, who has a stranglehold on Congress. | ||
| And the only question here is whether he also has a stranglehold on this Texas legislature. | ||
| The only way that you get here is by making sure that you trample upon the rights and the liberties and the voices of minorities. | ||
| What are we doing? | ||
| How can we ignore what happened with the Guadalupe? | ||
| How can we put that off and decide that gerrymandering is more important than taking careing care of the lives of those people. | ||
| The people of Texas are not going to forget this. | ||
| They're not going to forget because I'm not going to let them. | ||
| The Republicans released their map, and Democrats in Texas are going to make sure that the whole country knows what's happening because this is not just about Texas. | ||
| This is about the whole country, and not only the rules of elections, but how Donald Trump wants to rig the elections in Texas, and is not going to stop there. | ||
| It's going to continue with other states so that he can hold on to power, and he's going to do what he wants. | ||
| And he's going to do so by trampling on the rights of minorities. | ||
| Democrats in Texas have all options on the table. | ||
| We're going to use whatever tool we have in the toolbox to make sure that this doesn't happen. | ||
| And we're going to let everyone in the country know about it. | ||
| What are those actual tools that you guys are talking about? | ||
| Well, they're procedural tools in the House. | ||
| We can fight on the House floor. | ||
| We can make sure we fight in the courts. | ||
| And then we're going to fight in the Court of Popular Opinion because this is not only a rigging of the rules by Donald Trump, but it's unamerican. | ||
| We're going to make sure that we fight with everything. | ||
| So far right activist Laura Loomer doesn't have a job in the Trump administration, which is kind of hard to believe given her influence. | ||
| Politico reporting that more than a dozen high ranking officials were either fired or had their nominations and promotions derailed after finding themselves in Loomer's crosshairs. | ||
| The reason for their ouster insufficient loyalty to the president who has been ousted here and why they caught Loomer's attention. | ||
| Yes, so we've seen a number of national security officials. | ||
| We've seen FDA appointed. | ||
| All of them fired because essentially Laura Loomer has set up a tip line. | ||
| She considers herself to be the most influential journalist in the world right now and has been getting tips from people across the administration of Biden holdovers, of people who are not in step with the president or are not loyal enough. | ||
| She's essentially raising that to administration allies and getting them fired. | ||
| And this is a sign of her strength and influence right now. | ||
| And it's unsettling. | ||
| Several people in the West Wing, who we have talked to, who don't like her, think that she's, quote, a nut job, and it's become a problematic thing for them. | ||
| more people that needed to be purged from the administration. | ||
| So this is going to be a storyline playing out for a while. | ||
| She is looming large here, Adam. | ||
| So which offices have been most impacted and what should we make of all these firings? | ||
| Yeah, well, as I mentioned, you know, the FDA has been impacted, but it's really across every agency and, you know, significantly in the national security space. | ||
| When you look at some of the firings that happened earlier in President Trump's term here, she has a lot of influence. | ||
| People like Mike Waltz. | ||
| This is a lot of her doing, although we've heard that there were some pre existing issues with Waltz as well, and him not working as well with Susie, with Susie Wiles, the chief of staff. | ||
| And so this is just a significant development and it's more to come, according to Laura. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| You're not going to get a free shot on all these networks lying. | ||
| about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann. | ||
| One, two. | ||
| It's Saturday, 2 August, year of the Lord, 2025. | ||
| Okay, because of the agency and the work of the War Room posse and you guys putting your shoulder to the wheel over the last couple of weeks in Texas and a week or so here in the United States, the Imperial Capitol. | ||
| We're going to have a split screen here with two activities that are going on because of your work. | ||
| Number one, the United States Senate. | ||
| They're trying to move a package of nominees. | ||
| before they split. | ||
| This is obviously not going to be enough, but it's an effort. | ||
| The Democrats are not really negotiating. | ||
| So on one hand, we have the Senate floor. | ||
| They started at 9.30 a.m. this morning. | ||
| It probably precludes us getting Senator Mike Leon here to give us an update, but we're going to certainly try. | ||
| But they're voting throughout the day and I think throughout the weekend. | ||
| We've advocated now if they're not going going to stick around, they just got to go to a real recess. | ||
| Senator Thune has to show that he trusts President Trump and President Trump can then do recess appointments. | ||
| But we'll work through that today and through the weekend. | ||
| The other box is the Texas House Committee overseeing these maps. | ||
| And as you know, this audience has put tremendous pressure on folks down in Texas. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| They are going to vote here momentarily on voting out the maps. | ||
| The Democrats are there. | ||
| And actually, technically by the rules, the Democrats can actually leave and on these committee votes, it's just majority. | ||
| I believe this now means on Monday or Tuesday, probably Tuesday they're going to they're going to go to the Texas floor and vote this map out so anyway real progress we will go to Texas as soon as they get kicked off there maybe start are they talking right now in Texas can we yeah let's go ahead and get that we got Laura Loomers going to join us here in a moment let's just go to Texas kick things off my area and it wasn't a predominantly all-black area it was a true coalition working | ||
|
unidentified
|
class district It was moms and dads who worked nine to five who were trying to make it work. | |
| And I grew up seeing my city get to a point where it could have risen to something and now it's in decay and when you have people who come to a committee and say because I'm in a I'm a Democrat-run city in Beaumont people are poor and that wasn't what happened we lost our representation and economic engines to larger parts of the district that had nothing in common. | ||
| The committee looks like they're going to go around and speak and we want to get as much of that as possible. | ||
| But I got Laura Loomer by phone and Laura Loomer's got a very important tweet she has put up on Twitter. | ||
| Your theory of the case now, Laura, as you look or you are now looked at as the avenging angel of MAGA to make sure that we don't have a bunch of deep staters and a bunch of Rhinos, a bunch of Democrats infesting an infestation of President Trump's administration. | ||
| Yesterday on the show we interviewed, I said, hey, I look at all of your efforts and they haven't been close calls. | ||
| This is more of a feature than a bug. | ||
| You've put up a pretty explosive tweet saying you believe the CIA is in back of this. | ||
| Can you explain, folks, what your current thinking is, ma'am? | ||
| Yeah, thanks for having me on, Steve. | ||
| So my thinking is that because there hasn't been any real justice for the participants in the Russia collusion hoax and nobody part of This Obama era machine of vengeful intelligence operatives including James Clapper and John Brennan and James Comey and Christopher Wright. | ||
| None of these people have been punished for their treasonist activities and their treasonist actions against President Trump. | ||
| And unfortunately, because there has not been a full scale purge within the Trump administration of Obama and Biden era holdovers, especially within our intelligence agencies, these individuals have now found ways to recruit their friends, right? | ||
| Recruit their friends from the Obama era to get jobs inside the Trump administrationation. | ||
| And so now what you're seeing, Steve, is you're seeing that all of these John Brennan associates, and of course we know that John Brennan was Obama's CIA director, they're all finding themselves getting jobs and referrals for jobs within the Pentagon. | ||
| And so I truly do believe that there's another Obama era Intel agency coup against the Trump administration taking place right now because you have these Obama CIA officials who are trying to stage a coup of the Trump Pentagon. | ||
| But yes, I agree that this is very suspicious, these people are coming in. | ||
| But how are they coming in? | ||
| I mean, there's Trump officials that are Trump appointed and some that are Senate confirmed that are at the top of this, and also in the White House, and they have a whole vetting operation. | ||
| I mean, how is this how is this happening? | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| It's it looks like CIA. | ||
| They're from the deep state of the, you know, the Brennan coaching tree. | ||
| But how is this happening? | ||
| One of the ways that it's happening is through the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Steve Feinberg. | ||
| And Steve Feinberg has this guy working for him as a senior advisor named Tom Racuson. | ||
| And he was the director of operations for John Brennan. | ||
| And so he's really, honestly, to blame for a lot of this. | ||
| I'm told by my sources that Tom Racuson is the guy who put forth John Edwards as a possible nominee for deputy NSA director. | ||
| And, you know, if you look at who Tom Racuson is, it's a little hard to hear you because your phone, the connection keeps popping on your end. | ||
| Every other word, it keeps popping out. | ||
| I don't know if your producer can fix that. | ||
| Tom Rackhousen is the guy who's referring all of his Obama era buddies to go work inside the Pentagon. | ||
| I've exposed Tom Rackhousen. | ||
| I've, you know, sent the information regarding Tom Rackhousen and how toxic he is to the Trump White House, to the Trump administration. | ||
| And yet, for some reason, this guy still remains within the Trump administration, despite the fact that he was one of the main organizers of the Russia collusion hoax. | ||
| This is the guy who's cited even in there's actually a new book that came out recently, Steve. | ||
| It's called The Mission. | ||
| And it's written by a leftist who used to work at the New York Times. | ||
| And it documents the history of the CIA. | ||
| And it credits Tom Rackusen as being one of the main players to push back on President Trump's election victory in 2016. | ||
| And it says that Tom Rackusen, as the Director of Operations at the CIA for John Brennan, organized the first phone call after President Trump's victory in 2016 to make sure that, quote, the Russians stole our election. | ||
| Quote, we must make sure this never happens again. | ||
| Why does Steve Feinberg, who, you know, for some reason you have all these people going around, lobbyists trying to pretend like Steve Feinberg is a MAGAGA guy, okay? | ||
| He's not a MAGA guy, trying to pretend like he has the president's best interests. | ||
| This is a guy who at his capital management firm hired all of the Obama era spies. | ||
| He hired Leon Panetta, he hired Mike Morell, both of whom were stripped of their security clearances by President Trump for being two of the individuals who were, you know, the fifty one spies who lied. | ||
| Remember Mike Morell was the ringleader of the letter signed by CIA and other Intel officials to say that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. | ||
| And so what I want to know is why is a guy who really has no background whatsoever as it relates to our defense or issues of national security. | ||
| Of course, I'm talking about Steve Feinberg. | ||
| Why is he allowed to be given a pass for hiring all of these Obama era spies like Tom Rackusen and even in his own firm, okay? | ||
| Leon Panetta, Mike Morell, people who literally were stripped of their security clearances for participating in acts of treason. | ||
| Why are we turning a blind eye to Steve Feinberg's efforts to have a CIA coup of an Obama era CIA coup of the past? | ||
| I really honestly think that there needs to be more scrutiny put on Steve Feinberg, truly. | ||
| And I've got pushed back. | ||
| Like, I get calls from their lobbyists and their consultants, and they try to tell me that I'm wrong and that I don't know what I'm talking about. | ||
| But, like you said, this is this is just very open and shut, Steve. | ||
| The receipts speak for themselves. | ||
| You just have to look at the statements that these people have made and the actions that they took to subvert the president. | ||
| And I just want to know, why Steve Feinberg keeps getting a pass? | ||
| Is it because he's a billionaire? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Is it because he has money? | ||
|

| I know that's not something that we've always lived up to. | ||
| but we have strived for it this body if grace and mo can uh i like to stream the texas on our other alternative uh streams so let's go ahead and try to pick that up that's the committee down there brian harrison a moment laura loomer so laura when you mentioned that you believe it's a CIA coup and you see all these people being hired, | ||
| it shouldn't be lost on you because you're a chief investigator that Steve Feinberg has very deep ties and openly brags about it, deep ties to the CIA. | ||
| In fact, as you said, he makes a habit of hiring a lot of deep state operatives that have been very anti-Trump, ma'am. | ||
| Yeah, look, like I said, I think it's very concerning that there's people that he's been able to dupe and convince that he's somehow a MAGA guy. | ||
| And I think that a lot of people make excuses for individuals in Trump's circle who have these. | ||
| nefarious intentions and ties to the deep state simply because they have wealthy? | ||
| They have wealth and he's a wealthy individual and he's a billionaire. | ||
| And the fact of the matter is, you can't convince me, and I don't think that we're going to convince anyone here at the War Room posse, Steve, that a guy who hires John Brennan's Director of Operations to be his senior advisor at the Department of Defense and a guy who hires Leon Panetta and Mike Morell, two of the signatories of the Hunter Biden letter that falsely accused it of being a Russian disinformation op. | ||
| You can't convince me that that person is a good person or that that person is truly MAGA. | ||
| If you're truly MAGA, why would you want anyone tied to John Brennan near you, especially within the Pentagon? | ||
| So yes, I really believe that we are witnessing a CIA coup of the Pentagon right now at the Pentagon, and I'm not accusing, I'm not accusing John Ratcliffe of participating in this. | ||
| I mean, already right now my phone is buzzing from consultants and people who, you know, work with John Ratcliffe who are very triggered by what I'm saying right now. | ||
| But because there hasn't been a purge of these Biden and Obama era operatives., especially individuals who came from the CIA and the FBI and the NSC and also the NSA who are now working within the Trump administration. | ||
| You're setting the president up to have another coup, to have another deep state coup, which is what we saw derail the Trump administration in the first term. | ||
| And so this is why the media is losing their mind right now and they're hyperventilating nonstop over the comments that I've made and the vetting that I'm conducting, because they don't want to force the hand of the administration and the Office of PPO to have the president sign an executive mandate forcing the firing of all Obama and Biden era officials. | ||
| I mean, why do we still have Biden holdovers and Obama holdovers? | ||
| Just yesterday, the president, President Trump, had to fire a Biden official for fabricating the job numbers. | ||
| And then his true social posts seem to convey a level of confusion over why there were still Biden era officials working in his administration. | ||
| I just, I don't understand why there hasn't been more action taken to identify all these holdovers. | ||
| And again, you know, if we were in March or I don't know, maybe even April, perhaps I would say, all right, you know, I guess a couple of them snuck, snuck past the vetting process. | ||
| But now I'm starting to wonder if this is all deliberate. | ||
| It doesn't really seem like a bug. | ||
| It's more of a feature, as you said last night when I was on war room. | ||
| And here we are, almost eight months into the Trump administration, and it seems like this is becoming more sinister, more sinister. | ||
| And you have advisers and people who work for the president who are actually trying to cover for these people. | ||
| Oh, you know, he's a good guy. | ||
| Oh, he, you know, he has the ability to raise a lot of money for the party. | ||
| OK, I don't really care how much money Steve Feinberg has or how much money he's able to raise for the party or he's able to raise for for for for 2028 or for the midterms. | ||
| I don't really care if he's running if he's if he's running an Obama era CIA coup against President Trump in the Pentagon. | ||
| And we know that eventually he's going to try to snipe at Pete Hegseth. | ||
| Isn't that a bigger problem? | ||
| Are you currently working on additional names you're going to come forward with that you can do? | ||
| that you think ought to be removed immediately from the administration both at the pentagon and other the intelligence services and other areas like doj uh fbi uh you know um dhs are you currently working on a broader slate of names to come up with? | ||
| Yeah, every single day I'm I'm working on another list of names and I mean, I have names in front of me now and it's just a matter of pulling the receipts and making it irrefutable. | ||
| I mean, I could post the names right now. | ||
| I could just post a slate of names of all the individuals who I think should be fired and removed, but I like going person by person and essentially, you know, making it very open and shut, right, with the receipts. | ||
| I like to make my case and then close the argument with the receipts. | ||
| And then the information gets delivered to the president of the United States and his staff. | ||
| And ultimately, they are the final decision makers on whether or not these people stay or whether or not they're fired. | ||
| And And so I don't want to just give names and allow these people to come up with excuses or have their friends and all of their investor buddies make excuses for why they should remain in the Trump administration. | ||
| I have a record of providing receipts and even the mainstream media is admitting that these are very well researched reports. | ||
| They're now forced to admit. | ||
| Adam Ren from Politico, when he was interviewed by CNN and MSNBC, was forced to admit admit that the New York Times is recognizing that these are very calculated and well researched reports on vetting and that I'm doing a better job at vetting than the PPO office within the Trump administration, Stephen. | ||
| So I just want people to know that John Brennan is still getting everything he wants. | ||
| And it would be nice to see some actual prosecutions. | ||
| It would be nice to see people actually go to jail and get charged for their crimes against crimes of political warfare against the American people and against President Trump, his campaign in 2016 and his presidency and then his campaign again in 2024, but I don't know if we're going to see any prosecutions. | ||
| I don't know if we're going to see anyone go to jail. | ||
| And it's at the expense of Donald Trump. | ||
| It's at the expense of Donald Trump and our national security. | ||
| And I just want to know if John Brennan is the criminal that Tulsi Gabbard has exposed him out as being, and he's the criminal that President Trump says that he is, why does John Brennan keep getting everything he wants as it relates to personnel? | ||
| Personnel is policy, Steve. | ||
| Personnel is policy. | ||
| Why does John Brennan still continue to get everything he wants? | ||
| Why are John Brennan's closest advisors and his handpicked staffers and advisors still getting hired at the highest levels within our government? | ||
| John Brennan is a criminal and President Trump is going to post his image on True Social and say that he is guilty of committing treason. | ||
| Why is John Brennan still getting everything he wants? | ||
| That's something that everybody needs to ask themselves this morning when you're sipping on your coffee. | ||
| Laura, your podcast, your social media, particularly your Twitter feed, how do people keep up with you, ma'am? | ||

| At Laura, as you know, the Warren Posse putting the shoulder to the wheel, we've kind of helped Brian Harris and others force this vote into Texas. | ||
| Texas legislature on redistributing. | ||
| We've been a big effort to make sure that President Trump's nominees get confirmed before the Senate goes home or give him a recess appointment. | ||
| So if you could please just take, we got about a minute. | ||
| Just give us that question one more time that you want the Warren possi to think about over their morning coffee. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Can you give it to me one more time? | ||
| If President Trump truly believes that John Brennan is guilty of treason and President Trump truly believes that John Brennan is a criminal, and if Tulsi Gabbard has truly exposed them for crimes of treason, why does John Brennan seem to have a veto power over who gets hired within our intel agencies and within our defense department why is john brennan still influencing who gets hired in the trump administration within the pentagon and | ||
| the ns lore loomer on a set on a saturday morning thank you ma'am appreciate you and i know the president appreciates you so thank you ma'am pretty uh pretty cut and dry like i said last night about this being a feature not a bug somebody's got to ask some serious questions here and we got to get to the bottom of this think about it for a second you've got this confirmation problem that they know they can slow Trump down with the confirmations. | ||
| They pulled every trick in the book. | ||
| And right now, John Thune, let's be blunt, John Thune does not trust the President of the United States enough to go on a real recess, not some pro forma recess, and allow President Trump, as every other president has had, as the Constitution lays out, recess appointments. | ||
| On the other hand, for the nonconfirmed positions, some of these nonconfirmed positions, you have an infestation of deep state operatives. | ||
| This is just teening us up for another, this is something we went to in 16, in 17 and 18 and not taking care of it with McMasters and all these guys fighting it not taking care of it led to the impeachment in 2019 direct this is a direct line Laura Loomer speaks the truth it's unpleasant for some people it's quite harsh it can be very hard Laura does not have you know the best bedside manner but she's not supposed to have a good bedside manner she's | ||
| on a mission And what her task and purpose is has been quite effective in ridding this administration of these deep state operatives. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff. | |
| Very explosive from Laura Loomer. | ||
| I want to make sure everyone embraces that over your morning coffee. | ||
| I'll have more to say about that in a little while. | ||
| I want to go to breaking news out of Texas. | ||
| Brian Harrison, a representative in the Texas House, joins us. | ||
| Brian, what just happened, sir? | ||
| Hey, so actually big news here and a massive victory for grassroots, patriots, activists, the war room posse. | ||
| The Texas House Redistricting Committee just within the last two minutes voted to pass the redistricting maps out of the redistricting committee. | ||
| It was a party line vote, unsurprising, 12:6. | ||
| So that means that it is a huge victory in the sense that the map is showing movement for the first time, even though it took half a special session and the entire regular session to get any movement on this. | ||
| This is the first real movement we've seen. | ||
| It will now advance to the full floor where the calendars committee and the house leadership team now needs to step up, stop with their usual gamesmanships and delays and slow walking and do something that they rarely ever do. | ||
| Show leadership, put it on the floor. | ||
| The house is already scheduled to convene Monday morning. | ||
| This map should be on the floor Monday morning. | ||
| I know that national democrats are pressuring the local democrats to break quorum and many members of the Texas House Democrat caucus have publicly pledged to do everything they can. | ||
| Cit every tool in the book is what they say to thwart the Republican agenda down here, but the reality is they don't have the power to do that. | ||
| The governor, the lieutenant governor, the speaker have all the tools they need to force this map an up or down vote. | ||
| I do believe we have the votes to pass it provided we get the Democrats to show up. | ||
| The House leadership team has the power, all the tools necessary to make sure that they show up and a vote is to be allowed but it's a huge victory and i want to again thank the posse for the progress so far i do not believe we would have had this vote today if it were not for the posse and activists across the country blowing up the phone lines and the emails of the governor lieutenant governor speaker and letting them know that the eyes of the nation are watching them so uh one uh step forward today uh the real battle will be next week uh let's go i think we have a clip of brian | ||

| Harrison thank you very much great clip that vote right there to put the map forward to the Texas House. | ||
| This issue of quorum and having enough Democrats show up, are people proactively trying to think this thing through right now, sir? | ||
| Well, they better be. | ||
| I'm telling you, it was probably it started about yesterday morning. | ||
| Up until yesterday morning, the Rhino Unit Party leadership and the Texas government appeared to be up to all of its usual tricks. | ||
| They put the liberal democrat speaker Pro Tim on the committee, the ultra liberal extremist Gene Wu, who is the head of the Democratic caucus, they put him on the redistricting committee. | ||
| And it appeared that it was business as usual until, quite frankly, the posse was activated, the eyes of the nation and grassroots activists across the country lit up the phone lines with the accurate message, which is we are on you. | ||
| We're not going to let you do your usual tricks where you do what the Democrats do. | ||
| You do what the Democrats want, you Republicans, but then blame the Democrats for your own failures. | ||
| It was yesterday morning, even the low IQ liberal Austin Swamp media started saying, okay, there's a shift in the air now. | ||
| This is actually starting to move. | ||
| And for the first time, the conventional wisdom became, you know what, they may not have a choice but to get this done. | ||
| And but here's the real point, the real question. | ||
| I mean, people think that Texas government is ultra red and we're so Republican and as you call it the railhead of the MAGA movement, Steve, and you're correct. | ||
| We elected Trump with a 14-point landslide in Texas. | ||
| But why did it have to come to this? | ||
| Why in the middle of summer? | ||
| Why July? | ||
| Why did it take the entire regular session come and go without us doing this? | ||
| Why did it take President Trump having to get activated? | ||
| Why did it take the posse and so many other millions of activists across the country to force the Texas government to do things that it should have done a long time ago. | ||
| That's what real leadership would have looked like to save the future of our state and our country. | ||
| But the good news is something has changed in the last 36 hours, and I do believe it's the pressure of the grassroots across America. | ||
| So onto the quorum, just so the posse understands, we have 150 members in the Texas House. | ||
| The Constitution requires 100 to show up. | ||
| We have 88 Republicans. | ||
| So we need, you know, 10 to 15 Democrats to show up and the House leadership, Republicans, has all. | ||
| all, every single tool they need to force a minimum number of Democrats to get there on the floor Monday. | ||
| So no delays and the posse needs to keep it up. | ||
| Destroy the phone lines of the elected Republican leadership in Texas emails, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Speaker. | ||
| Let them make sure they know. | ||
| Yes, we're happy the map got moved out of committee, but this thing needs to be voted on. | ||
| The Democrats need to be forced to show up. | ||
| It's time to play hardball. | ||
| It's time to show the nation that Texas knows what time it is in America. | ||
| And quite frankly, they all need to hear it. | ||
| Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker, the Texas Senate has not taken a single vote in their committee on the redistribution map. | ||
| So the Texas House is actually moving faster than the Texas Senate. | ||
| That's something that we rarely say down here. | ||
| So the all of the elected leadership of Texas needs to know every eye in America is watching them right now. | ||
| Let's keep moving. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| No delays, no excuses. | ||
| Vote the map. | ||
| The eyes of the nation are on Texas to vote the map. | ||
| Brian, your social media, Brian, because all weekend we're going to be up working on this. | ||
| Make sure we get this vote on Monday and people want to follow your information since you happen to be the best news service down there. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Yeah, social media on X. I'd tell you, there's nothing more hated in Austin than my X feed. | ||
| I can assure you that. | ||
| It's at Brian E. Harrison, Brian E. Harrison on X, Brian E. Harrison, and just I just want to close again by just expressing my profound appreciation for you and the posse for opening the eyes of everybody across America on this. | ||
| Well, you do the hard work, the posse does the hard work, I get the easiest job in the world just providing a platform for you guys. | ||
| Thank you, Brian. | ||
| Looks forward to working with you over the weekend. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| And for Glenn's story too and the Patriot Mobile team, everybody, just great work and forward posse. | ||
| We still have a lot more to go. | ||
| The Texas Senate, we have to get the House vote, but you can see, as they said, something's changed in the air down in Austin., and that is transparency and focus and lighting up people for not doing their job. | ||
| Cleo Pascal Pascal joins us now from the Northern Marianas Islands. | ||
| Cleo, very moving ceremonies yesterday. | ||
| We had the live streams going on on War Room and quite frankly, not just a very big audience, but a very engaged audience now that you've awakened people to the fact that this is all American territory. | ||
| I think a lot of our audience is as informed as the War of Posse is, was, hey, we, a lot of these folks didn't know that this was US territory and about the scandals and about the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what happened yesterday. | ||
| It was quite it was quite solemn and very moving. | ||
| Yes, it was. | ||
| And it was yesterday for you, I've since I saw you on the show last, I've only been at funeral events. | ||
| I haven't I haven't gone to bed here. | ||
| It's a it was a Catholic funeral, so I think it goes on for 57 days or something. | ||
| But it was incredibly touching. | ||
| And I was asked by people close to the late governor to present you and the war room with this challenge coin coin. | ||
| They're all numbered Because of their gratitude for just showing up and caring. | ||
| I was repeatedly stopped by people and sometimes in hushed tones, sometimes courageously in front of others to say thank you and to thank for being there. | ||
| But the live stream really made a difference for them to know that the rest of America cared and was watching. | ||
| And just a very moving experience, I think, to know that people cared. | ||
| Because and this is the unfortunate thing thing. | ||
| When you saw who the US government sent to represent the government to the United States of America, that was somewhat shameful, frankly. | ||
| The highest ranking US military official was a rear admiral from Guam, 45 minutes flight away. | ||
| So they didn't even send anyone from IndoPeCom, from Hawaii, and certainly no one from DC. | ||
| This is in spite of, as we know and have talked about repeatedly, this is America's front line. | ||
| This is where new installations are going in on Tinian, which is you can if it was light outside and I was standing on the roof, you could see Tinian from here. | ||
| And on august 6, it will be the eighty-year anniversary of the Enola Gate taking off from Tinian and heading towards Hiroshima. | ||
| This was on the front line and it is on the front line again. | ||
| And what DOD could muster was a rear admiral from 45 minutes away. | ||
| It was similarly in terms of the administration, it was represented by a deputy assistant secretary for insular affairs at the Department of Interior. | ||
| He is a man who is from here. | ||
| And we've talked about him on the show before because when he was in the legislature here, he helped write the legislation that facilitated the setting up of a Chinese casino that was running billions of dollars into this economy in ways that perplexed casino experts. | ||
| In terms of Congress, there was of course Congresswoman Radwagon, who came from American Samo, and she's highly revered and greatly respected, and it was wonderful to see her here. | ||
| And the other member of Congress who was here was Congresswoman Kimberly King Hines, whom we saw in the show the show the other day talking about how it's all about money and how she was convincing her colleagues to continue to permit Chinese to come into the Marianas without a visa. | ||
| And she was all front and center there. | ||
| So that was who was represented officially by the US. | ||
| And it certainly doesn't send a message that the administration or the officials are taking this very seriously. | ||
| And you can be sure that China noticed. | ||
| And that was why it was even more important just at a personal level for people. | ||
| people that the war room showed up. | ||
| So I'd like to relay the gratitude of the family and of the many, many people who came up to me throughout the day and the evening today to say thank you for being there for them. | ||
| Cleo, can you hang over for a second? | ||
| I know it's late. | ||
| I just want to hold you through a short commercial break before we pivot to the Senate into Ukraine. | ||
| We have a bunch of stuff to go through, but I want to just hear some ideas about an action plan because this is way too important to just let sit. | ||
| We got to set things right there. | ||
| This Chinese casino is shut down, right? | ||
| Why is it shut down? | ||
| Why is a Chinese casino that's generating billions of dollars for the Chinese owners but is suspect by everybody that's looked at casino operations as just an open money laundering operation? | ||
| Why is it shut down with no follow-on investigation? | ||
| The people that are associated with it should be held accountable for it. | ||
| This thing is a festering sore. | ||
| This is kind of a small, slightly, just slightly smaller equivalent of uranium-1 with the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation and how they got involved with the Russians and how they got involved with uranium and how they made a lot of money. | ||
| And next thing you know, you've got the, you got Hillary. | ||
| Clinton trying to steal the presidency from Donald Trump. | ||
| Here you have the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They've infested the Imperial Capital and they've infiltrated everywhere and it has to be stopped everywhere. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| So now more than ever, you need to. | ||
| you need to understand the dollar versus gold. | ||
| The dollar is a prime reserve currency. | ||
| President Trump, a heated conversation yesterday about what's going on in Brazil. | ||
| He's very upset about that. | ||
| Part of that, a vast part of that is Bolsonaro, but hey, some part of it is Lula trying to lead the BRICS effort on de-dollarization. | ||
| And if you want to trigger President Trump, mention de-dollarization. | ||
| He'll come at you. | ||
| Understand why. | ||
| Go to birchgold dot com slash Bannon, enter the dollar empire. | ||
| Get it. | ||
| Seven free installments, number eight and nine are coming shortly. | ||
| And also hook up and connect with Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| Cleo, like I continue to say, and this is what was so moving last night for the thousands and thousands and thousands that watched the proceedings was the importance of honoring the greatest generation on their sacrifice. | ||
| There was no battle in World War II, I don't think, as bloody as Saipan, and particularly taken on a per capita basis like the civilians that killed themselves, the very infamous but historic spot of Suicide Cliff, where not just Japanese army person, Imperial Army, but also civilians threw themselves on the cliff instead of surrendering to the United States because of this, all the propaganda that was the narrative wars and the information war that were being fought. | ||
| This is why the CCP is an existential threat, just like back then Imperial Japan was an existential threat. | ||
| We have to face this. | ||
| We can't look away. | ||
| The natural defensive barrier of the United States is on the other side of the Pacific and the island chains. | ||
| And this is why Admiral Nimitz and General MacArthur and FDR and General Marshall understood what we had to do in the Pacific in World War II. | ||
| And like you said, nothing could be more emblematic than in a couple of days from now, what by I think went Tuesday, Wednesday, next week, the 80th anniversary of Enola Gay leaving Tinian to go drop the first atomic weapon on Hiroshima to try to end that war without another million U.S. casualties. | ||
| So what is your action plan? | ||
| We've got people very focused on this and very interested now. | ||
| And one of the great things that you've done over the last couple months is actually put the information out to the American people like, hey, This is not about being a neocon. | ||
| This is American territory. | ||
| We fought for this territory. | ||
| We paid in blood for this territory. | ||
| The people there have wanted to be part of the United States. | ||
| This is the United States of America. | ||
| And what we're doing in the United States of America is because people make money. | ||
| As you said, everybody from selling counterfeit driver's license to running a crooked casino has been infiltrated and influenced by the Chinese Communist Party because this is what they do. | ||
| This is what they've done in South Korea, as we lost the election there. | ||
| This is what they're doing in Japan. | ||
| This is the fifth column they've built in Taiwan. | ||
| This is what they're trying to do in Australia. | ||
| Everywhere throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia and the Pacific, all these island nations, as you did such a great report going for a couple of weeks, the Chinese Communist Party are a worthy enemy. | ||
| They're very smart. | ||
| They're very cunning. | ||
| They're very lethal. | ||
| This is not a group of clowns. | ||
| These are very serious people, very evil people. | ||
| And they are constantly, constantly, constantly thinking through how they can take down the United States of America. | ||
| So what is your, what is your recommendation? | ||
| How do we go forward now? | ||
| So for looking at the Pacific Islands as a whole, I think there need to be three and a half different strategies because there are three different priorities and different toolkits for each of those clusters. | ||
| And the first cluster is places that are the United States of America, like where I am now in Saipan. | ||
| This is, there's the territories here of Siamai, of American Samoa, of Guam. | ||
| These places are Americans on American soil. | ||
| And you have a whole set of toolkits that you don't have in other parts of the Pacific. | ||
| So, for example, here, I think a priority would be to send in Treasury. | ||
| The books are all there. | ||
| All you have to do is follow the money and you can get pretty far. | ||
| There needs to, I think, also be a proper field office set up in Guam. | ||
| Currently, the biggest field office that I know of is a eight hour flight away in Hawaii. | ||
| So that gives not a lot of oversight here. | ||
| The second priority would be the three compact st states, so Palau, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia. | ||
| Those are that's the whole Middle Central Pacific. | ||
| That's the old Japanese mandate. | ||
| These are the battles of Pelaloo and Truck Lagoon and Kwajalin. | ||
| This is how you get to the first and second island chain. | ||
| They are not the United States, but because the compacts have very close ties to the United States, so you have a different set of toolkits that you could use. | ||
| The third priority are the other Pacific islands like the Solomon Islands and things like that. | ||
| which are foreign countries that don't have that sort of ties to the US. | ||
| So there's a different set of toolkits. | ||
| And then the half are the three Pacific Islands countries that recognize Taiwan, Palau, Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu, because they have they're being targeted in a way that's completely different because of that Taiwan threat to China. | ||
| But also the Taiwanese can be very helpful for helping to push back that Chinese political warfare. | ||
| So I would say you can't just say the Pacific Islands. | ||
| We need to understand that from a US strategic perspective, there are hierarchies and priorities, but there are also different toolkits, and some of them extremely effective that can be deployed in different locations and with different partners. | ||
| Japan would be very helpful in the compact states. | ||
| Taiwan would be helpful in the countries that recognize Taiwan. | ||
| Australia claims to be, although I'm not sure it is, helpful in some places like Solomon Islands. | ||
| So it needs a proper look, not just saying the Pacific Islands, but understanding that the center of the Pacific in particular is America's strategic heartland. | ||
| If a hostile foreign power controls it, the US is not safe. | ||
| This was understood from the middle of the 19th century. | ||
| This was understood by McKinley and Roosevelt, and it resulted in having the US on the other side of that in Guam and in the Marianas. | ||
| So getting a full picture of where the priorities should be and fully applying the strategy. | ||
| The strongest tools you have in each of those jurisdictions in order to be able to rip out root and branch the Chinese Communist Party infiltrations, because they've been looking at it from the opposite direction. | ||
| They know what is a priority for the US, even if the US hasn't realized it, and has been working to undermine America's position in those places in that same hierarchy. | ||
| They've targeted Guam, they've targeted CNMI, they've targeted the Compaq States as priorities. | ||
| So it takes a little bit of focus. | ||
| But it can definitely be done. | ||
| We'll bring the focus. | ||
| Social media, ma'am, how do people keep up with you while you're there? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm now apparently on Getter at Real Cleo, and I'm on X at my name, Cleo Pascal CLEO PAS KAL. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Great, great coverage. | ||
| Tell everybody there, we love them, and we got their back, and the war room is at work. | ||
| So thank you, ma'am. | ||
| Pretty good morning so far. | ||
| Winning in Texas, setting things right, going to in the Northern Marianas Islands to honor America's sacrifice in the Second World War. | ||
| Short commercial break. |
