| potential Republican gains in Texas the plan in California however still requires voter approval with a special election now set for November 4th, any given moment. | ||
| But I don't think he cared about the classification system. | ||
| I don't think he appreciated the sensitivity of this information and he didn't appreciate the sensitivity of how it was often acquired, the so-called sources and methods. | ||
| So this had been briefed to him before I arrived. | ||
| It was repeated frequently. | ||
| I think it simply had no impact on him whatever. | ||
| FBI agents have raided the home of former Trump national security adviser John Bolton early this morning. | ||
| A source familiar with the matter tells NBC News that FBI agents were sent there. | ||
| as part of a national security investigation in search of classified records. | ||
| The FBI has not yet commented on this story. | ||
| We should note again, we don't know what's happening here. | ||
| It's a raid. | ||
| If there are criminal charges that follow, the government will have a chance, of course, to explain their case. | ||
| But right now, we just know that John Bolton, former National Security Advisor for President Trump, now turned, pretty harsh Trump critic, his home in suburban Washington has been raided. | ||
| We're responding to what happened in Texas. | ||
| We're neutralizing what happened. | ||
| And we're giving the American people a fair chance. | ||
| Because when all things are equal and we're all playing by the same set of rules, there's no question that the Republican Party will be the minority party in the House of Representatives next year. | ||
| We got here because the President of the United States is struggling. | ||
| We got here because the President of the United States is one of the most unpopular presidents in US history. | ||
| We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election. | ||
| Congress will go back into the hands of the Democratic Party next November. | ||
| You can't win by playing by traditional sets of rules. | ||
| He plays by no rules. | ||
| I remind you all the time, it's not the r rule of law, it's the rule of Don. | ||
| And we're standing up to that. | ||
| I have one update for you. | ||
| The FBI, in fact, has commented on this. | ||
| An FBI spokesperson told me, I'm going to read the statement, quote, The FBI is conducting court authorised activity in the area. | ||
| There is no threat to public safety. | ||
| We have no further comment. | ||
| And that is generally what the FBI does when there is a visible search of a residence or a business, as they will confirm, because it's obvious to everyone with eyes, that they are conducting court authorised activity in the area. | ||
| To answer your question, what would they need to do this? | ||
| to sign a warrant after a finding of a probable cause to believe that there is evidence of a crime at the location of the search, which is John Bolton's home here in Bethesda. | ||
| And as he said, a source is telling NBC News that this is about a search for classified documents. | ||
| So what's the context here? | ||
| Well, John Bolton wrote a book that was very critical of Donald Trump, and it was a sort of a memoir recounting his time as National Security Advisor, called The Room Where It Happened. | ||
| And remember, the Trump administration not only sued him, but also launched a criminal investigation, which was then subsequently dropped when President Biden took office and Merrick Garland became Attorney General, the lawsuit was also dropped. | ||
| They were trying to essentially say that he didn't get the required permissions and clearances around making sure there was no classified information in the book. | ||
| He has long said there was no classified information in the book, but that is one of the possible avenues here for what they could be looking at. | ||
| Of course, this is incredibly ironic given the fact that just a few days ago, FBI Director Cash Patel was on Fox Business saying falsely that the search of Donald Trump's home at Marlago, the FBI raid was unconstitutional, was unfounded, that there was no predicate. | ||
| In fact, a judge signed a warrant in that instance as well. | ||
| And judge Eileen Cannon, who was Trump appointed judge, who ruled in Donald Trump's favor in many, many issues, actually upheld the legality of that search and rejected Donald Trump's lawyers' efforts to throw it out. | ||
| But of course, Donald Trump and his allies denounced that FBI action. | ||
| They called it an unjust invasion of his home at Mar Lago. | ||
| Now today you have police cars and FBI agents outside of John Bolton's home in Bethesda in a very what they're saying is a very similar action. | ||
| Texas is gone, California heading that way. | ||
| There are other states considering it. | ||
| Now, some of them, like New York, there are more obstacles in place. | ||
| It won't be quite as easy to pull it off. | ||
| It would be hard to argue this is good, big picture for this nation's democracy, but this is where we are now, the latest political norm and custom just thrown away in the Trump era. | ||
| Yeah, and it's not what the majority of Americans want, right? | ||
| And poll after poll, voters are telling us they would much rather this was done in a nonpolitical way, nonpartisan way. | ||
| But it looks like it'ss going to go ahead. | ||
| Even in New York that you mentioned there, Jonathan, by 2028 we could see that redistricting happening as well. | ||
| So this morning the Wall Street Journal editorial board has a piece titled The Gerrymander Race to the Bottom and reads in part, quote, Say this for the Gerrymander Wars. | ||
| Both parties are honest about their raw party's motive. | ||
| Texas' gambit to redistrict mid decade is dubious, but Democrats have long done the same. | ||
| Differences, Democrats have been more aggressive in using courts rather than their legislatures to redraw maps, all while pretending to defend democracy or fight racism. | ||
| But gerrymandered gains. | ||
| are sometimes swept away with big election tides, as in 2006 and 2018. | ||
| A large share of voters are not fiercely partisan. | ||
| Texas Republicans also risk inviting a voter backlash that could flip a Senate seat if State Attorney General Ken Paxton defeats Senator John Corny in GOP primary. | ||
| Gerrymanders reduce political competition and they're getting worse over time. | ||
| Congress could set limits on the practice, but incumbents want safer seats. | ||
| Unless voters rebel, it will continue. | ||
| At least the political cynicism is no longer hiding behind false flags. | ||
| Do you mean it's true both sides are saying this is an arms race. | ||
| We have to do this to protect our majority. | ||
| They're not pretending that this is anything other than it is. | ||
| But the reality is that in this arms race, the Republicans have no mission. | ||
| Cash Patel is trying to turn the FBI essentially into a national police force. | ||
| He is de-emphasizing the traditional national security mission of the FBI. | ||
| After 911, essentially, the entire agency was reoriented to make the number one priority stopping a terrorist attack on the United States. | ||
| So counter terrorism was the number one mission. | ||
| But counter espionage has always been a huge mission of the FBI.'s mission, other national security missions, also white collar fraud and corruption. | ||
| Cash Patel sees it much differently. | ||
| He refers to FBI agents as cops, and he has been taking a number of steps to direct them to essentially go after violent crime, which is generally a state and local priority, and also he's ordered that FBI agents spend a considerable amount of time conducting immigration enforcement. | ||
| But there has also been a clear direction for the FBI and the Justice Department to essentially pursue Donald Trump's political enemies. | ||
| Now they don't describe it that way. | ||
| But in that same interview with Fox News where Cash Patel was denouncing the search on Mar Lago, he also essentially issued a threat to any FBI agent or Justice Barber prosecutor that had worked on that case or the other Jack Smith indictment of Donald Trump regarding overturning the election. | ||
| Cash Patel said, You should come in and talk to us, and if you don't, you're going to find yourself on the end of our investigative activity, and it's going to be very uncomfortable for you, I'm paraphrasing. | ||
| So that was a remarkable statement by an FBI director. | ||
| Essentially, they're making no bones about the fact that they are looking to investigate people. | ||
| They are investigating people that were involved in what they said was weaponization with these investigations of Donald Trump. | ||
| And in fact, they've appointed a lawyer, Ed Martin, at the Justice Department to be in charge of a weaponization working group. | ||
| And they are working on various investigations, including, reportedly, a grand jury investigation that potentially involves President Obama and AIDS to Obama around the ten year old Russian intelligence community assessment of Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. | ||
| So Donald Trump's law enforcement apparatus appears to be responding to his desire to relitigate all of these issues where he thinks he was wronged by the intelligence community and the justice department and the FBI. | ||
| And it's going in what a lot of people think is some very dangerous direction. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Your time is not going to free shot 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? | ||
| 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. Banner It's Friday 22 August, Year of Our Lord 2025. | ||
| A little bit going on today and so many things happening, so much winning going on across the board. | ||
| We're going to get to it. | ||
| In our maximalist strategy, everything we need to do now has to be maximalist. | ||
| You have to take it to its own logical conclusion because we're burning daylight and everything has got to be urgent. | ||
| You see exactly what the strategy of Gavin Newsom and the Democrats are is to try to gerrymander the 2026 election, have Hakeem Jeffrey's, they take the House by one or two seats, Hakeem Jeffrey's speaker, Donald Trump is impeached. | ||
| All of his people are investigated and the Trump, oh, we're going to go right now to President Trump. | ||
| Let's go ahead and punch right to President Trump. | ||
|

|
All right. | |
| Okay, I guess we're not going to do that. | ||
|

|
For this wonderful ballroom to be built, we have this 33,000 square foot experience open seven days a week, free to the public. | |
| So until that's built and reopened, we're happy to welcome everyone here and so honored and happy that you came over today. | ||
| And you do a great job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's been here a long time and we have a lot of things in common. | |
| We love the White House, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love that. | |
| And we're doing some very detailed renovations, fixing things that are broken. | ||
| fixing floors that are cracked up and not good anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In many cases, they were done in the 50s and 60s and 70s. | |
| Okay, the feed is frozen. | ||
| We'll go back. | ||
| President Trump's across the street from the White House at the gift shop. | ||
| There's a gift shop that sells paraphernalia from the White House. | ||
| I hope they're stocking a Trump 2028 hat or four more years, which President has in the little private gift area that he has right next to the Oval Office, the old Monica Lewinsky, the shrine to Monica Lewinsky that I think we got an exorcist in there in the first. | ||
| term, make sure you get all the bad, evil spirits out. | ||
| As soon as we get that feedback up, we'll go to it. | ||
| But there's so much. | ||
| And in fact, we're going to blow the break or what's the blowing the break? | ||
| This is great. | ||
| On a Friday here in the war room, a lot going on. | ||
| President Trump on a patrol last night. | ||
| He walked across the street today to the gift shop. | ||
| He's supposed to make a very special announcement at 12 noon. | ||
| Don't know what that's going to be. | ||
| There are FBI agents, a swarm of FBI agents all over the house of John Bolton. | ||
| Can we go to a split screen on that? | ||
| We go live. | ||
| By the way, a pal is talking right now in Jackson Hole. | ||
| I think Grace, we have up on our other stream, the entire Powell speech in its entirety. | ||
| I'm not 100% sure of it. | ||
| I think he's blamed tariffs on a 2.6% increase in prices, which I don't think the data should backs that up, but we're going to get to all that. | ||
| So Powell speaking in Jackson Hole, he's going to talk about the rate cut in September. | ||
| The President of the United States over at the gift shop, I think he's over there to make sure they're stocking that four more years ball cap that he gave to the Armenians in Azerbaijan when they came in for the peace conference. | ||
| And the Azerbaijan, I think, Prime Minister or President said, hey, our country is 100% for it. | ||
| We want at least four more years. | ||
| I want to go to, so we're going to get a lot in today. | ||
| We're going to talk about 55 million visas for foreigners in your country right now. | ||
| Let me repeat that 55 million, which I think is bigger than like a hundred of the countries that are in that are in more than that, but more than a hundred countries that are in the United Nations. | ||
| Absolutely absurd what's going on here right there. | ||
| That's the front that's the house where it happened for the book, the room where it happened. | ||
| It looks like Bolton has always been accused of taking classified information out of the White House for that. | ||
| I think the law of unintended consequences are, though, John Bolton's the biggest cheerleader for both Zelensky. | ||
| He's the biggest cheerleader for Netanyahu's murderous government. | ||
| He's the biggest cheerleader. | ||
| He's a well-known Mossad associate. | ||
| So I think it's a law of unintended consequences when you walk in that house and they take in boxes and boxes in. | ||
| these banker boxes or what you do when you put papers in. | ||
| Earlier they were putting that in there. | ||
| So we're going to get to all that. | ||
| First order of business, though, is the redistricting wars. | ||
| Alex de Grasse, you're joining me now. | ||
| And we have not, the War of Posse, as you know, because of your leadership, has been on top of this and driving this in Texas, just like we drove it in 22. | ||
| But we're not, we're not doing a maximalist strategy. | ||
| We've got to get to that. | ||
| Gavin Newsom is playing smashmouth. | ||
| He's running for President of the United States. | ||
| They passed this with two thirds in the House and the Senate yesterday and overcoming a court challenge which got blown out because the California state courts are also terrible. | ||
| It's on the ballot now for November. | ||
| This is going to be, folks, this is not about 26 more. | ||
| This is about 28. | ||
| So this is going to be a massive, massive throwdown. | ||
| Alex deGrasse, walk me through. | ||
| I even had Scott Jennings, a McConnell guy, saying that Kentucky ought to go. | ||
| So the way I calculate and I want you to walk through, if we do a maximalist strategy right now, I think we have at least ten additional seats that we have to get, five in Florida, two in Ohio, and I think one each in Indiana, Kentucky, and Missouri. | ||
| Am I correct on that, sir? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| I mean, Kentucky, I think Scott was first to mention it, and there's some words. | ||
| So it's sort of a developing front, of course. | ||
| But 15 is what we always spoke about for the last couple of weeks. | ||
| And so that's where we're at if you don't even count Kentucky with five in Florida, two to three in Ohio, and then Indiana, Missouri. | ||
| And it's really important to kind of keep the gas up because the Democrats have obviously shown their cards. | ||
| And I thought it was interesting that MSNBC is kind of admitting that, you know, this fight, they don't have the type of gunpower that we do. | ||
| You know, they don't have the type of firepower that we do because they've already gun decked this whole thing. | ||
| They've already gerrymanders or they've kind of put mechanisms in place that they'll kind of come back like New York the next election, right? | ||
| Because they've got these quote unquote independent processes and everything else. | ||
| So we have to maximize everything we can because this is not just while we need to be maniacally focused on this election, of course, and the implications for this election, this is going to be a drawn out two cycle fight regardless of the Supreme Court and how things rule. | ||
| I think some people are a little nervous on the ground. | ||
| I see some Indiana guys melting down, but this could be the game changer for this republic. | ||
| I mean, this will make or break. | ||
| Everything that we have fought so far, I mean, this stuff will disappear as you laid out, Steve. | ||
| I mean, this will disappear like that if we lose the house. | ||
| So everything's within the law. | ||
| Everything is fair. | ||
| You look at, you know, obviously Texas, I think is only getting up to about a 76 percent. | ||
| You're looking at like a 21 percent differential, maybe 18 percent between the margin of Democrat vote share and kind of their seat representation. | ||
| Almost every Democrat state is exponentially worse on the representation if you look at, obviously, percentage. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I want to get some facts here because the people got to understand how bad it is. | ||
| In California, it's been 42 to 9. | ||
| And this is a place that has, I think, 41% of the votes are Republican votes. | ||
| It's 42 to 9. | ||
| They're going to 48 to 4. | ||
| They're not even, I mean, and they're not shy about it. | ||
| All of New England is 25 to nothing. | ||
| And I think aggregated up, New England's about 39 or 40 percent Republican votes, 25 to 0. | ||
| How bad is New York, sir? | ||
| It's, I mean, it's New York, we fought and we were pretty victorious in holding the line, I think. | ||
| I mean, New York, just because, I mean, frankly, of Elise and everyone we fought, I mean, if you got what they put forward, Steve, we would have had three or four seats, right? | ||
| out of 28 when you look at Lee Zeldin lost by six points. | ||
| So it's totally ballistic. | ||
| That's if they got the map we wanted, but we defeated them twice because, hey, news flash to the reporters watching, Kathy Hochul mid-decade redistricted in 20, last election. | ||
| So we could cut the trash, honestly., okay, she redistricted, she tried to gerrymander even further, we stopped them with court legal and they moved the margins about five or six percentage points in a couple seats, which really was the game changer for NY 22, also Tom Swazi's seat. | ||
| You could have flipped two more seats if we had kept the maps the same because national money moved around based off what the expectations were with the margins. | ||
| So, you know, this whole thing is a total scam. | ||
| I mean, they mid decade redistricted last election cycle, okay? | ||
| We've had three or four different maps in the last three years in New York State and Republicans have been victorious. | ||
| because we've been fighting it out using their rules, Steve. | ||
| I mean, hey, these are their rules. | ||
| And of course, New York is trying to play smash mouth, but they're kind of hamstrung behind the state constitution, just like California. | ||
| I think it's interesting that New South Wales is very selfish, of course. | ||
| And of course, we know why, Steve. | ||
| But the reality is, if he continues to escalate this, which of course he is, this will spiral out of control for the Democrats. | ||
| So bring it on. | ||
| I mean, they will implode on this fight. | ||
| Now they're going to be able to. | ||
| Well, this is why. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So right now, but we can't wait for them to push for us to react. | ||
| We've advocated this from the beginning. | ||
| A maximalist strategy. | ||
| So right now we got five in Texas., there's another 10. | ||
| That's five in Florida, two in Ohio, one in Kentucky, one in Indiana, one in Missouri. | ||
| You said there might be three in Ohio because under the maximum strategy, do you believe we actually get three seats out of Ohio? | ||
| Yeah, I've heard that. | ||
| I'm not, I've heard, there's a lot of chatter. | ||
| I mean, there's a lot of people looking over maps because I think with the Texas, with California, it's sort of the... | ||
| The mask is off, as you would say, Steve, right? | ||
| I mean, the DCCC and the Super PACs behind Nakim Jaffrey's, I mean, they are the funders. | ||
| Now public record shows that. | ||
| You've got millions of dollars flooding in, and they actually openly admit they drew the map. | ||
| I mean, they drew the map here at the DCCC, right? | ||
| So now I think people are saying, okay, look, game on, and I think people are going to – this will sort of – I think people are getting a little more blatant because I think people try to play cute. | ||
| You look at Texas, of course, like we said, of course, they can pick up easily more seats there, Steve. | ||
| I mean, let's be honest about it. | ||
| I mean, that's really important for people to know because I think even with the current map with the five additional seats, I think it is less gerrymandered than California is right now before they jam another five seats. | ||
| If you look at the voting share percentages that we were talking about before. | ||
| And I think that's really important for everyone, including. | ||
| all the liberal reporters watching, since I know so many of them do, Steve, which is quite funny. | ||
| But so, you know, guess what? | ||
| Game on, I guess, right? | ||
| But game on. | ||
| By the way, we're going back to Texas 10. | ||
| We're behind the scenes. | ||
| We're working nine stops. | ||
| We want the additional five seats in Texas. | ||
| Ebb and these guys have not done their job. | ||
| We had 10 seats down that we want all 10. | ||
| So there's a lot of work behind. | ||
| And that, so right now. | ||
| There's five we got with Texas. | ||
| There's another 10 from all these other states that are in play. | ||
| And I like the fact Scott Jennings is saying he concurs that we should do Kentucky. | ||
| Then you've got another Texas 5. | ||
| That would be a total, if we did our job, that would be a total of 20 seats redistributed. | ||
| And that's what it should be. | ||
| Because this is a combination. | ||
| I'll put the media story up later. | ||
| Not media. | ||
| Media Matters is a great analysis of what we've been talking about here for the last couple of days of every different aspect of this. | ||
| Alex, it's just not the redistricting wars we're in right now. | ||
| It's also stopping the mail-in ballots. | ||
| It's having ICE agents near the polling stations. | ||
| If you're an illegal alien, the word's got to get out. | ||
| You're not voting anymore. | ||
| You're not voting in our country more. | ||
| If you're going to vote, you're going to be arrested. | ||
| By the way, you go down there, you're an illegal alien. | ||
| You're going to get arrested anyway. | ||
| It's the mid-century, it's the mid-decade census to really have a count. | ||
| President Trump the other day, Alex said, it's 100 seats he's talking about. | ||
| If you did the census, everything else we're talking about, it's a change of 100 seats with every aspect of this. | ||
| Your thoughts on President Trump's observation of the 100 seats? | ||
| Yeah, I think Stephen Miller, I think, talked about 2030 just on, obviously, the census. | ||
| And then if you get to VRA, right, the voting rights act and sort of how they draw racial seats, that's important, right? | ||
| Racial seats. | ||
| Because I think that's sort of the issue in New England, right? | ||
| I think in the South they have to draw racial. | ||
| And obviously in New England, you know, MAGA is not a protected class, of course., so we don't get seats and so they draw us out. | ||
| So, you know, if that all changes, I think you're looking at 50. | ||
| Like I think I had said maybe more, I think in the combination of everything. | ||
| And I think that that really is the ball game because there's absolutely no path to victory for the Democrats. | ||
| They will have to change as a party as we know it and they will be dead. | ||
| I mean, honestly, there will be a firewall in this country just like the founders, to be honest, envisioned this. | ||
| And I think, and maybe it could be more. | ||
| I mean, I guess we just really have to remove the mask on the amount of illegal immigrants that are all over the place and how that gets counted into the census. | ||
| I mean, we are looking at. | ||
| already a shift of about 15 electoral college points, just not even that's still with counting illegal immigrants. | ||
| That's just sort of based off of the population shifts occurring right now with people leaving blue states and going to the red states. | ||
| And so if you really remove the mask on how many illegal immigrants are everywhere, this thing drops like a rock in certain areas. | ||
| I mean, you're I'm reading reports that some places in California, 30, 40 percent illegal immigrants in some towns. | ||
| I don't know what's true or not. | ||
| I'm just reading all these reports and this is sort of exploding obviously as people are sort of looking into this. | ||
| But the mail ballot, Steve, I mean, that really, other than everything else, just that. | ||
| That's just also the ballgame. | ||
| I mean, you stop the unregulated, unfettered mass mail and ballots. | ||
| You look at New York State, as long as you have someone's birthday, you go on a website, you click it in and a ballot shows up at your house. | ||
| I mean, there's absolutely no guardrails. | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| And they go, Oh, well, that's illegal. | ||
| Well, okay. | ||
| So is everything else going on and crimes rampant all over the place. | ||
| So the fact that you have these in California, right, the ballots showing up a month and a half after the election, Steve. | ||
| I mean, once we already know the count, they can go find ballots, bring them in without postmark and they count. | ||
| I mean, the really third world countries have a better handle on this than the state of California and New York, of course. | ||
| The voter rolls really need to be. | ||
| You converge all this and you add the Louisiana case in the Supreme Court about the racial gerrymandering, 100 seats for 100 years, and we're going to do it. | ||
| We have to have a maximalist strategy. | ||
| That's where we're going to go back to Texas. | ||
| Texas, the WIMPs at the senior level, the Speaker of the House, Burroughs, the Lieutenant Governor, pathetic, the Governor, pathetic, just pathetic. | ||
| Look what they're doing. | ||
| Gavin Newsom is playing smashmouth. | ||
| That's smashmouth. | ||
| That's coming right at you, and they're brazen about it. | ||
| A state that got over 40 percent Republican votes is going to have a congressional delegation. | ||
| It's 52 seats, the largest delegation in the House. | ||
| It will be 48 to 4. | ||
| Alex de Grasse, your social media, where did people go? | ||
| Because folks, this is going to be a massive fight every day until, I think, it's November 3 in California. | ||
| This is going to be the battle. | ||
| A billion dollars is going to be spent on this because Gavin Newsom's launched his presidential campaign. | ||
| I think Brother McCarthy out there is a California guy. | ||
| He's very upset about this. | ||
| He's going to be a major part of this. | ||
| This is going to be all hands on deck to defeat this in November. | ||
| Alex de Grasse, where do people go to get you, sir? | ||
| And Steve, just real quick, I want to say like historically, actually our people are very good at these kind of ballot initiatives at these kind of unique elections, because it really is just the ultimate turnout, right? | ||
| Getting your people out for a sort of unique niche issue. | ||
| And I think for the California posse, which I know there's like a million of us out there, more obviously, if we dig in, we can win. | ||
| I mean, it's a tough fight, no spin about it. | ||
| But I think that will become sort of the fight. | ||
| Because if you end this thing there for Newsom, the whole thing crumbles and their party is in shambles nationwide. | ||
| But anyway, I'm at deGrasse 81. | ||
| I look forward to, you know, let's keep this going to work the phones, push everyone you can at all levels, county GOP, state GOP, your elected, and let's just get this done. | ||
| Because this could be the whole ball game. | ||
| This ought to look, Alex was our leader in 2022 when we did this, that ensured the victory in 2022 to pick up those seats in the House that we needed to flip it away from Pelosi. | ||
| Taking great leadership again early on this. | ||
| We were ahead of the Democrats. | ||
| That's why they got caught by surprise. | ||
| Now it's game on. | ||
| And this is going to be a titanic struggle, but there's nothing the Warren Posse loves more than a good fight, a good throwdown. | ||
| DeGrasse, thank you so much, brother. | ||
| I appreciate you. | ||

Thanks, Lee. | |
| Folks, it's a maximalist strategy on everything. | ||
| Half measures don't work. | ||
| You're not going to get any credit from these people at all. | ||
| The media's, look at the perfect example is what President Trump's tried to do in Ukraine. | ||
| He tried to move heaven and earth in Ukraine. | ||
| And what is Karl Rove, Karl Rove, you know, the Bush guilty of, you know, with all the war crimes Bush has had on the illegitimate war that they lied about the American people. | ||
| He's saying, hey, if Kiev, if Ukraine's not victorious in this war, it'll be Donald Trump's Afghanistan. | ||
| This is, I'm telling you, we need to go to full measures. | ||
| I love what's happening in Bolton right now. | ||
| We're going to get more in that. | ||
| Christina Bob's going to join us. | ||
| She was at Mortalaga when they had the raid against President Trump. | ||
| Jackie Tobaroff joins me. | ||
| 55 million visa holders in this country told you. | ||
| Secretary of State, the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio is sending 6,000 home right away. | ||
| We're going to talk about that. | ||
| But hey, we want to cut the visa holders in half. | ||
| You think we might not have an affordability problem on homes if we did that? | ||
| Also, the truckers, they're making big decisions. | ||
| Get all the foreign truckers out of here. | ||
| Get rid of all of it as we've had the truckers on here before and talk about all that. | ||
| Posobiec's going to join us. | ||
| We are packed. | ||
| And, of course, Powell, President Trump's favorite, giving comments out with all the central bankers in Jackson Hole. | ||
| We're going to try to track down so we get that feedback on the president. | ||
| The president's over at the gift shop. | ||
| He's got a big announcement at noon. | ||

| Okay, we had a trouble with the feed of the president. | ||
| He was taking some questions. | ||
| We're going to try to get that as soon as we get set up. | ||
| I'm sure there's things of interest there. | ||
| There's so much going on this morning. | ||
| Now we got the focus right. | ||
| What you're seeing is the door to John Bolton's house. | ||
| And we're going to cover this. | ||
| They have taken a number of boxes in there. | ||
| It looks like they're boxing things up. | ||
| I would assume those be documents. | ||
| The controversies about the book, at least the initial part, is the room where it happened. | ||
| It was a very controversial anti-Trump book from his time as... | ||
| He had taken classified information to work on it. | ||
| So right there, that is the house where it happened. | ||
| Right now, the FBI on there in a massive raid. | ||
| I'll get to that in a second. | ||
| Powell is being PAL's mealy mouth self over in Jackson Hole. | ||
| We're going to get that up. | ||
| It's streaming right now. | ||
| We're trying to decipher what he's actually saying about interest rates. | ||
| I think he's agreeing to the fact that their models might have been wrong and they might have to quote unquote adjust. | ||
| And so I don't know if he's committed to a rate cut in September. | ||
| We're going to get to that. | ||
| But he has said their analysis shows that tariffs, I think, is at 2.6 percent to prices, cost. | ||
| I'm not sure about that. | ||
| We differ, but he's, you know, he's, Birch Gold, if you want to understand all this, particularly this issue with the dollar, the strength of the dollar, the value of the dollar versus other currencies throughout the world, the de-dollarization effort because the rest of the world led by the Chinese Communist Party and people like Lula in Brazil who's a Marxist is trying to get off the dollar and destroy the United States economy. | ||
| Go to birchgold.com promo code Bannon, the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| You can get all of it. | ||
| Also, you can start getting information from Birchgold non-stop. | ||
| There you can just go text Bannon B-A-N-N-0-989898. | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| We get the complete guide to investing gold and precious metals in the age of Trump. | ||
| It's going to be quite turbulent. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| This is a fourth turning, so obviously things are turbulent. | ||
| This is why we are recommending and we advocate a maximalist strategy in every aspect of President Trump's government. | ||
| In fact, it was just announced, the DOD has announced, I think 2,000 of the troops that are currently deployed to D.C., I think I'm reading that correctly, are going to be allowed to be armed. | ||
| Of course, crime rates are coming down D.C., dropping through the floor. | ||
| People in D.C. absolutely love it. | ||
| I can tell you as someone that is quite familiar, at least with the Capitol Hill area, there's been a sea change. | ||
| that's happened just in the last couple of days. | ||
| So Birchgold.com, we're going to get the PAL, we got the presidents over at the gift shop, I guess they call it the D.C. Museum, and get comments from him. | ||
| But we've got we want to focus on this maximalist strategy right now. | ||
| Christina Bob joins us. | ||
| Christina, you were at you were the president's lawyer. | ||
| You were at Mar a Lago the other day. | ||
| What's the difference? | ||
| They're saying this is just a strong man. | ||
| He's trying to intimidate his critics. | ||
| Walk me through your perspective on this, ma'am. | ||
| Yeah, no, I am loving this. | ||
| This is nothing like the Mar a Lago raid. | ||
| The Mar a Lago raid also started earlier in the day, the way that this one did. | ||
| But the FBI didn't say anything about it. | ||
| Christopher Wray hid from it. | ||
| And they didn't let the public know at all. | ||
| It was Donald Trump who made it public at the end of the day, after the raid was over. | ||
| And they hid from it for three days. | ||
| If you remember, Merrick Garland didn't even address it until August 11, where he gave a speech at the DOJ podium, where he was basically taking responsibility because for the previous three days the Biden administration was going, Oh, well, wow, we had no idea. | ||
| We didn't do this. | ||
| You know, nobody was taking responsibility. | ||
| And it took three days before Merrick Garland finally said, Okay, yeah, I approved this. | ||
| Christopher Wray, the FBI director, never came out and said that. | ||
| But yet here today, we have Cash Patel coming out front saying, No one is above the law. | ||
| The FBI has said, Yes, we are raiding his home. | ||
| We have our FBI presence there. | ||
| Our agents are there. | ||
| So it's the FBI. | ||
| in this instance under Cash Patel is not afraid to take ownership of this. | ||
| And with Mar a Lago, they were afraid to take ownership of it because they knew they were not supposed to be there. | ||
| They didn't actually have probable cause and they didn't find anything worth using. | ||
| And we know that because the case was supposed to be in Washington, DC. | ||
| The grand jury subpoena came out of Washington, DC. | ||
| When I was forced to testify, I had to go up to Washington, DC. | ||
| They were working something against Donald Trump in Washington, DC that they couldn't even get enough evidence to indict him in DC. | ||
| So they had to scramble, cover their own rear ends and take it down to Florida and try to come up with a ridiculous obstruction of justice case against Donald Trump. | ||
| So the whole thing was falling apart from the beginning. | ||
| So I'm loving that Cash has taken command and control of this. | ||
| He's out front. | ||
| He's not shying away from it. | ||
| And that lets me know he's on good footing. | ||
| He's on good standing. | ||
| And he is not worried about any attacks coming at this. | ||
| Well, they've put out a statement saying it's a court approved. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Explain to the audience when they actually say in their official release that this is court approved. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| Yeah, it means they got a warrant. | ||
| They have a warrant to do it. | ||
| They went to a judge. | ||
| The same way, actually, for the Mar a Lago raid, they did go to a Florida magistrate to get a warrant where you have to have a sworn affidavit from an agent or, you know, from your source saying that. | ||
| that this is the probable cause that we want to use in order to effectuate this search warrant. | ||
| But when they did it in the Trump case, they went to a judge who was conflicting out. | ||
| Just weeks prior, Bruce Reinhardt had recused himself from the Trump Clinton case in Florida because he said he couldn't be impartial in the case. | ||
| And then a few weeks later, that's who the FBI goes to to get their search warrant. | ||
| And oh, by the way, they lied to the judge in the affidavit. | ||
| They left out all the information about how cooperative he had been, I had been, the defense team had been. | ||
| They left out all the collaboration and cooperation on the part of the Trump team. | ||
| They manipulated the facts to fit the narrative they wanted that was not accurate. | ||
| And they lied to a judge who was conflicting out to get their search warrant. | ||
| So yeah, I mean, they did get a search warrant, but I don't think they got it legally. | ||
| So you're saying that they had to show probable cause today to a judge that signed this warrant and allowed them to go in and retrieve and take those, take whatever they're going to take out to actually do this rape. | ||
| But they've seen them earlier making these cardboard boxes ready to like, and there were quite a few of them. | ||
| They had to they had to go to a judge and make the case for probable cause, ma'am. | ||
| Yeah, one hundred percent. | ||
| In order to, I mean, based on their statement, it sounds like they got a search warrant. | ||
| I can't imagine they would do this without a warrant. | ||
| So yeah, they got a search war warrant. | ||
| They had to present their case to a judge. | ||
| They had to swear under oath. | ||
| Who, you know, an agent or someone that had the probable cause had to swear under oath saying that we have probable cause. | ||
| This is what it is. | ||
| The judge makes the assessment, him or her, and signs the warrant. | ||
| They got the warrant here and they're executing it. | ||
| Okay, Christina, thank you so much. | ||
| Where do people go to keep up with you on this case? | ||
| I know that now more than ever people want to know your thoughts since you were intimately involved as the president's lawyer when they tried to revered President Trump. | ||
| Where do people go? | ||
| Please check out my new book. | ||
| I've got a book coming out on the Mar-a-Lago raid forward by Donald Trump himself. | ||
| You can find that on Amazon, wherever books are sold. | ||
| You can find me on social media at Christina underscore Bob. | ||

| Christina, thank you so much. | ||
| One of President Trump's lawyers. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|

|
Appreciate you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| A Marine Corps veteran, Christina Bob, tough as boot leather. | ||
| They've had her in some very tough situations. | ||
| Gotten out. | ||
| I think the President of the United States has a comment on the Bolton raid. | ||
| My producers tell me, can we go ahead and play that? | ||
| And then we'll come back. | ||
| Let's hear it. | ||
| No, I don't know about it. | ||
| I saw it on television this morning. | ||
| I'm not a fan of John Boe. | ||
| He wants to always kill people. | ||
| And he's very bad at what he does. | ||
| But he worked out great for me because every time he doesn't talk, he's like a very quiet person. | ||
| Except on television, who could say something bad about Trump, he'll always do that. | ||
| But he really doesn't talk. | ||
| He's quiet. | ||
| And I'd walk into a room with him with a foreign country and the foreign country would give me everything because they said, oh no, they're going to get blown up because John Bolton was there. | ||
| He's not a smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriotic guy. | ||
| I mean, we're going to find out. | ||
| I know nothing about it. | ||
| I just saw it this morning. | ||
| They did a raid. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you expect the DOJ to break you on this? | |
| Yeah, they'll break me. | ||
| Probably today sometime. | ||
| I tell Pam and I tell the group. | ||
| I don't want to know about it. | ||
| You have to do what you have to do. | ||
| I don't want to know about it. | ||
| It's not necessary. | ||
| I could know about it. | ||
| I could be the one starting it. | ||
| I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer. | ||
| But I feel that it's better this way. | ||
| Whoa, right from the war room. | ||
| Chief Magistrate and Chief Law Enforcement Officer. | ||
| The three powers of the Office of the President. | ||
| He's Chief Executive Officer of the Government of the United States. | ||
| He is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and he is the Chief Magistrate and Chief Law Enforcement Officer. | ||
| Boom. | ||
| Suck on that. | ||
| That's amazing. | ||
| John Bolton, obviously, this is tied to, I think originally Cash talked about, because he said, hey, there's an investigation that stood down. | ||
| That investigation, I think is pretty well known. | ||
| By the way, that's his front door right there. | ||
| It's pretty well known was about the book, The Room Where It Happened, a very anti-Trump book about classified information being in that or taken out. | ||
| But the law of unintended consequences, this is the biggest cheerleader for Zelensky, biggest cheerleader for Netanyahu, biggest cheerleader for regime change in Persia, all of it, and also a known., a known colleague of the Mossad. | ||
| So this could have much big, big, big implications because it looks like they're going to take a lot of stuff out of there. | ||
| Do we have a call over for Jackie Toboroff? | ||
| I tell you what, let's go right to Jackie. | ||
| Jackie, you've got an amazing piece up. | ||
| I want to, I want to pull the camera back for a second. | ||
| It's been explained now to the American people. | ||
| There are 55 million. | ||
| Did I hear this right? | ||
| 55 million visa holders in the United States of America. | ||
| Is that correct, ma'am? | ||
| Yeah, I heard the same thing you heard. | ||
| And this is really bad news for Democrats. | ||
| It would be the end of the housing crisis, which is pretty much what they have hung their hat on. | ||
| Well, what they're saying is the 55 million visas that the Secretary of State is going to review, correct? | ||
| They're now going to review all 55 million visa holders. | ||
| Now we don't know what that review takes. | ||
| I've got about a minute for you on this side. | ||
| I'm holding you through the break. | ||
| You wrote this piece though about the 6,000. | ||
| I think they're pulling their particularly student visas. | ||
| Can you walk me through that? | ||
| Because they're starting to take action. | ||
| I mean, 6,000 is dropping the bucket to 55 million, but at least it's a start. | ||
| What's your article about? | ||
| You're saying they're not sending their best, or we're not getting the best and the brightest.? | ||
| Yeah, we've been totally lied to. | ||
| We've been told that international students in these American universities or these so called American universities, which are heavily funded by Arab oil nations and the CCP, are taking in the best and the brightest international students. | ||
| We're not getting Einstein, we're getting Mahmoud Khalil, and as a result, uh, so far six thousand visa holders have had their visas revoked due to serious crimes and being a threat to national security. | ||
| So, uh, and those those six thousand are going. | ||
| Now, President Trump had the three hundred fifty thousand. | ||
| 350,000, I think, Chinese students at one time, they were put on hold. | ||
| That's been pulled. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to get you back on here in a second. | ||
| We also got the truckers. | ||
| They've dropped a hammer on these international truckers. | ||
| So in every aspect of President Trump's government, you're seeing people focus on what the problems are and look for solutions, whether that's Washington, D.C., Law and Order in Washington, D.C., obviously guys like John Bolton using classified information against the country, or whether it's 55 million visa holders. | ||
| You think, as Jackie said, you think you'd have an affordability problem? | ||
| You think you'd have a... | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Let's say Monday morning. | ||
| People are, oh gosh, Steve, the consumer economy would collapse. | ||
| Let's take a gamble. | ||
| Let's pull them. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | |
| you you Okay, it's a day of winning, but a day also that I think we have to keep in mind what our strategy is right there is a live shot of John Bolton's driveway and his house in suburban Maryland. | ||
| I think it's in Bethesda. | ||
| There are a whole team of FBI agents there, and they are obviously been there since early this morning. | ||
| So it's a quite thorough raid on his home, his papers, computer, all of it. | ||
| Like I said, this was about the book. | ||
| Initially started, as Cash Patel alluded to, on an earlier investigation that was dropped about the book, The Room Where It Happened. | ||
| That book was about the time of John Bolton as National Security Advisor to the President of the United States. | ||
| Of course, they fought because he's a neocons, neocons. | ||
| And let's be honest, he was put in there by donors around President Trump that demanded he go in after the disaster of McMasters. | ||
| A horrible neocon recommended many, the big strike into Persia, the President Trump stopped at the last second, the missile strike. | ||
| President Trump literally stopped it, I think, with minutes to go. | ||
| Because he said it lacked proportionality. | ||
| And they went at it every day after that. | ||
| Like I said, this is going to have massive repercussions through the national security environment. | ||
| I think it shows you that Cash and people over the FBI and the Justice Department, because Justice had to sign off on this, main Justice. | ||
| So we're going to spend a lot of time. | ||
| Jack Pesobik is going to join me in the next hour. | ||
| We're going to break this all down on the implications, not simply for John Bolton's time at the White House, but in current events, particularly in Ukraine, in the war in Gaza, and of course the potential coming war against the Persians, all of that. | ||
| Maximalist strategy. | ||
| Jackie Tobaroff, you've had an eyewitness, and I still don't think, and we played last night, and I want to give a compliment to the Warren Posse. | ||
| People came from all over. | ||
| There were posse members that came as far away as Albany. | ||
| to go to Naomi Wolf's her gathering of these candidates, these remarkable young candidates that are popping up in Brooklyn and other boroughs throughout Manhattan to fight this takeover. | ||
| Jackie, as you have pointed out from the beginning, the Red-Green Alliance, which you have these dedicated Marxists and Neo-Marxists combined with radical jihadists. | ||
| People have to understand, this is not about socialism. | ||
| If somebody's talking about socialism, they're missing the point. | ||
| This is radical, this is Marxism, this Red-Green Alliance, they're going to turn New York into the next London. | ||
| And you've seen what Sadiq Khan has done in London. | ||
| And this is why, you know, they went back the other day and the UK, which Pacific, I'll talk about in the next hour, went back and said, hey, upon further review, we really don't have the troops to send to Ukraine. | ||
| You're damn right, you don't have the tro troops because you're going to have a civil war on your hands in england on canary wharf overnight they put up they called hoisting the colors uh they're putting up the stgeorge flag they're putting up the union jack through canary wharf because the government of sadiq khan does not want to see british colors they saying it's offensive to people it causes my it's a microaggression etc you're going to see this in new york and you're already starting to see some of it People were stunned on my | ||
| getter feed. | ||
| The getter crowd is a little more sophisticated, but so many people were coming in and calling me didn't know they had 55 million visa holders in the United States of America. | ||
| Jackie, they've started at the universities. | ||
| The universities, for me, and I agree with you, are the cutting edge of this of how to start and roll this back besides the H1B visas. | ||
| And we're going to get to the truckers in a second. | ||
| Talk to me about your take on the universities. | ||
| What are we underwriting and how do we stop this madness, ma'am? | ||
| I will. | ||
| Just one thing. | ||
| New York City is 40 percent, 40 percent, quote, immigrant. | ||
| That is according to Eric Adams. | ||
| It's probably higher than that. | ||
| So we absolutely need the illegal aliens out and these visas, these 55 million visa holders, if they are not here legally, they need to leave. | ||
| So this is the real issue with these universities. | ||
| Only 39% of college age Americans, that's between 18 and 24, even go to colleges and universities. | ||
| And this is because it is not affordable to them. | ||
| And the kicker is they are paying with their hard earned money. | ||
| They are paying for specialized admissions processes to vet international students according to a criteria completely unaffiliated with America. | ||
| In addition to the fact that these schools are pretty much all need blind. | ||
| That means there is no such thing as international students having to pay full price. | ||
| Taxpayers subsidize this. | ||
| They get the exact same financial aid benefits as American citizens. | ||
| So Americans get screwed twice. | ||
| First for paying for the specialized admission process and then for paying for this financial aid to be lavished on international students. | ||
| And quite frankly, now we see many of the best and brightest according to the left are actually criminals. | ||
| and supporters of Islamist terrorists. | ||
| I'll also say just one more thing. | ||
| You're saying you're also saying that, yeah, but hold on a second. | ||
| I want to go back. | ||
| You said that it's underwritten by Arab Oil Nations and the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Explain that. | ||
| Yeah, the Arab Oil Nations and Qatar have given 29 billion dollars to college campuses. | ||
| Saudi Arabia has given approximately 2 billion. | ||
| This is not charity. | ||
| This is transactional influence buying and ideological capture. | ||
| This is so that the people within these universities serve those countries, the Arab Oil Nations and the CCP, not America. | ||
| The issue is not completely stopping international students from coming. | ||
| It's being honest about the best and the brightest. | ||
| And we're seeing that that's a lie. | ||
| The other thing is I saw somewhere, and this is anecdotal, but the class of 2025, approximately 30% of these Americans can't even find jobs. | ||
| So I mean, something has to be done. | ||
| Americans are getting undercut by these international students. | ||
| I'm, by the way, I'm much harder core. | ||
| I think for, I think for initially all the foreign students, all visas should be stopped for foreign students until we find out that American students can get jobs. | ||
| This is about American citizens and American kids. | ||
| Jackie, you're on fire there in Manhattan. | ||
| Where do people go to find out more about you? | ||
| What's your social media feed, ma'am? | ||
| Okay, my Instagram is Jacqueline4NYC. | ||
| That is J-H-C-Q-U-E-L-I-N-E-F-O-R-N-Y-C. | ||

| I'm very honored we're going to take a short break we're going to leave you with the right stuff we're going to come back with people that have the right stuff the truckers that brought to our attention what's going on in this country about having folks that can't even speak or read english foreign drivers that were dominating the uh the trucking industry it looks like that's going to stop and the reason is is you in this audience and these great patriots about to join us also jack pasovic We're going to go from Ukraine to Gaza to Persia, all of it. |
