Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to the war room.
Uh we're gonna hold our traditional cold open and show open uh because right now you're looking at a podium that is outside the federal courthouse in Northern Virginia momentarily.
Uh James Comey, former FBI director.
Uh, he may stop at the podium and say a few words.
His lawyers may say a few words, but he's gonna go inside that building.
He is set to be a rain today.
Uh our own Brian Glenn is uh getting set up, and you can see a little bit of inclement weather.
Um Brian Glenn is getting set up, and we'll go to Brian here momentarily.
Do we have Mike Davis, the viceroy?
Okay, let's let's dual process.
Let's get Mike Davis up, ASAP.
Mike Davis, the Viceroy, is going to join us also a very historic day.
Um we can go ahead and do the split screen if you want, and then we go back to the full.
I'm gonna produce direct star, be the narrator of today's proceedings.
You're in the war room.
It is uh Wednesday, 8 October in the year of our Lord 2025.
There we go.
Okay, we're all happy now.
Um very historic day.
A FB The reason it's historic is not simply an FBI director being in indicted today or reign on indictments uh of two felony counts.
And and remember we had Peter Navarro and I'm gonna have Peter on later because I want to make sure everybody understands how this deep state war against President Trump and the Trump movement and our counter-offensive here.
Peter Navarro for a misdemeanor, which 99.99% of the time is handled civilly in these disputes between Congress.
Okay, Peter Navarro didn't lie to Congress.
Peter Navarro, uh, because President Trump exerted executive privilege, and he was a senior White House aide, uh, and the committee was not structured properly, had no ranking member and no uh counsel.
Uh Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon and Dan Scavino and Mark Meadows uh opted uh our constitutional duty uh not to not to submit documentation and not to go testify as a matter of constitutional principle.
These were misdemeanors.
Uh they were normally, like I said, nine nine point nine nine percent of the time in American history handled through civil litigation.
Uh Scavino and Mark Meadows were not charged, but they charged Peter Navarro and myself and Peter Navarro, they treated like an animal to try to humiliate him and break him at Reagan Airport, very close to this courthouse, or not that far away from this federal courthouse.
They uh basically chained him up in front of dragged him off a plane, uh chained up his fiancee, took him down a tarmac and tried to uh and put him in leg irons, uh, and then took him over to the federal courthouse, put him in the basement where the cells down there, you know, one of the cells was for Hinckley.
Uh, on a misdemeanor.
Uh Comey is about felony two felonies, right?
He bald faced lied uh to Congress.
Uh he obstructed justice, and these are just the appetizers.
I want to make sure the audience fully understands that these are just the you know, in this battle, these are kind of the opening um a little cannon fought of canon fire you're gonna hear before the major engagement.
They are working on uh massive indictments of uh of McCabe and McCabe, you talked that time about, and maybe we can play this later, leaving the country, right?
You were so nervous before Trump was elected.
Do you you actually said on CNN, people are having discussions about leaving the country?
You ought to put that on your menu of options, brother, because Bolton and McCabe and Brennan and uh Comey uh and Clapper, all you guys are gonna spend many, many, many years in a federal prison.
We are determined to break the deep state, and we're determined to make sure that never again can anyone like the illegitimate Biden regime steal an election, which the intelligence services and the deep state stole from President Trump to try to destroy MAGA and the President Trump's family.
You saw the impassioned um discussion we had yesterday with uh with Eric Trump on the release of his new book Under Siege.
If we get a chance, get that book from Eric Trump.
Also Peter Navarro, which is hurtling up the New York Times bestseller list.
Oh, wait, the New York Times doesn't want to include his bestseller list, but Dr. Navarro joined us from the White House in a little while.
The Viceroy Mike Davis, whose tremendous work on this over the years, because this has been a team effort to essentially get the indictment of Comey and others uh is going to join us uh momentarily as Mike Davis uh from the time we started bringing Mike Davis on uh around the time of the Mar-a Lago Raider shortly before uh he walked you through basically the crimes of the deep state and trying to eradicate President Trump and hey folks in those years 21,
22, 23, remember the we had some we had some days that were dark days, but we fought through it and we were resilient.
And that's why President Trump is returned to the White House.
He's now commander in chief, he's chief executive officer.
And for Comey and uh and and folks uh formerly at the Justice Department, Lisa Monaco and these folks, he is the chief law enforcement officer and chief magistrate of the United States government.
And uh President Trump is not, you know, shy about expressing some observations he has in this, but this is why this is so important.
So the show today, we're gonna have uh we're gonna have Brian Glenn as soon as he's up.
Comey will be here momentarily, and then um, and then we'll go to uh we'll have Mike Davis, the Viceroy, and we'll have uh, and then we have Mark uh Mitchell, that amazing analysis he gave us last night.
Mark Mitchell's gonna be back and join us.
The Atlantic magazine, Tom Nichols, formerly of the Naval War C college, has uh uh a huge piece up in the Atlantic magazine talking about the crisis between the military and political affairs of the military and the civilian trying to um accuse President Trump of being author.
This is the authoritarian breakout.
Poso is going to join us for this, although POSO is heading for the White House, besides this historic event today, this afternoon at three o'clock, of which uh we're gonna be covering wall to wall.
There's going to be a round table on Antifa as President Trump is designated now Antifa, a terrorist, a domestic terrorist organization, and he's taking all measures, including federalizing National Guard in Portland and uh I think soon other places uh to deal with this uh to deal with the Antifa issue.
That's at three o'clock this afternoon.
So on Real America's Voice, keep it uh dialed in here uh all throughout the day for breaking news on this historic day, Wednesday, the 8th of October in the year of our Lord 2025.
Also an announcement, and we don't we cannot give you all the details now.
But the Marine Corps 250, it looks like it's going to be bifurcated into two different events of which we're gonna cover all of it wall to wall, like we did Navy 250, our brethren in the Marine Corps, one of the greatest fighting forces ever assembled by man, the Devil Dogs.
Uh I think the first one we're gonna have, and I'll have more information on this later in the show, but we're gonna have this Saturday time to be determined.
We're gonna there's gonna be a special put on by the White House, a special what we call in the Navy, an evolution put on uh uh put on by the uh by the Marine Corps and people associated with the Marine Corps, Real America's Voice, the war room will be there for the entirety of it.
I'll give you more details, but just take your number two Prince and just mark out Saturday, beginning of Marine Corps 250, then the following Saturday, it's even gonna be a fuller event or evolution, and like I said, details coming, but we're gonna obviously we did uh Army 250, we did Navy 250, uh and Marine Corps 250 is about to come.
Uh, we're gonna go to Brian Glenn now.
Brian Glenn is at the Federal Courthouse.
Let's go to our own White House correspondent, uh doing a little double duty today at the Federal Courthouse in Northern Virginia, our own Brian Glenn.
Brian Glenn, put us in the room, sir.
brian glenn
Yeah, let me uh we're just in front of the courthouse, and they've got as you would imagine, several media outlets all here anticipating his arrival.
He's not here yet, but let me step aside because I want Will to kind of set the scene here and you get an idea of the setup.
We do have obviously some protesters across the street.
Uh it seems and I said this earlier off camera, seems to be very much in touch Of who you typically see uh marching in the streets to uh protest the National Guard being in uh DC.
It's very much the same demo.
I would say it's 65 plus white uh retirees.
That's what it is.
I hate to say it.
steve bannon
Uh but hang on.
But Brian, Brian, hang on.
No, Brian, hang or hang on a second.
When Navarra and myself, when we were arraigned, the protesters out there are hate Trump protest, hate Trump protest, uh, accusing us of being insurrectionists, all everything.
Today, there's not an anti-Comey uh, you know, accusing him.
They are that this is I just want the audience to understand, this is more of the hate Trump.
They always show up, they're outside the federal court in DC, they're outside the federal court here, they are Trump haters.
They're all uh these older uh, you know, the the crunchy, as we say, they're crunchy uh liberals, the type of person that watches PBS all day long, uh, and they're out there.
Uh they were protesting Navarre and myself for supporting the president, and they were anti-pres uh the president.
Today, these people are actually in support of Comey and against President Trump, correct?
brian glenn
You're absolutely right, Steve.
That's exactly uh what it is.
And they weren't, I guess, uh, anywhere near these courthouses when they dragged in uh people that had nothing to do with J6.
They were dragged in everyone else in the MAGA movement.
We even give got the guy called the truth conductor m wake making his way, see if you get a shot of that wheel, make it his way.
He's in front of the White House every day.
He's out here apparently uh reaching for the truth, Steve.
Uh it doesn't happen.
These guys uh they are very silent right now, they haven't been vocal.
I guess whenever Comey comes up, he'll they'll probably voice their their uh support for him and their opposition for President Trump.
But here's what it looks like, and of course, a lot of familiar faces from the media that's normally at the White House is here today.
And to go on something just you guys touched upon a few minutes ago, there is an Antifa round table scheduled in the state dining room later today, three o'clock.
We'll be on the ground in the room, we'll be there for you uh and to give you a full report uh for your afternoon war room.
But uh, this is what it looks like right now.
Uh, I guess we're st running a little bit behind.
He's supposed to arrive at around 10.
We'll see where that happens uh here shortly.
But this is where we're at.
And it's really a sad day, I think in America, and we have you know, you you finally expose the truth behind the Russia hoax, all of the nonsense that took place, all of the weaponization of our Justice Department, FBI, and no one's held accountable until now.
And you would think that people would celebrate that, but it's just an anti-Trump day here.
steve bannon
Yeah, but look, it's a handful of people.
I mean, this is a celebratory day.
One of the top bad guys uh in the deep state, and it's not just about getting personnel, but you have to send a message.
You have to send a message to people.
When you take apart the deep state, you have to take the leading conspirators and they must go to prison, right?
Or or leave the country, right?
And if we can't extradite them, they they live in exile forever, uh bankrupt.
Uh no, they have to be dealt with.
I think it's a I think it's a gr I think this is a glorious day.
This is part of the revolution.
This is a glorious day because it took so much to get here.
Brian Glenn, hang on, our White House correspondent, Brian Glenn uh is there outside the federal courthouse.
Comey, not respecting the court is late.
Mike Davis, the viceroy joins us.
Mike, when you first start coming on the show uh right before the the uh Mar-a-Lago raid and start walking us through this, uh we both envisioned this day coming, but it's been quite a journey, has it not, sir?
mike davis
Yeah, I mean, remember what James Comey did here.
He uh used the FBI, he politicized it and weaponized it to uh help Hillary Clinton's campaign and to cover up her corruption and to hurt President Trump.
And uh they they spied on pres uh presidential candidate Donald Trump.
They spied on his presidency.
They hobbled his first term with the bogus Russian collusion hoax, crossfire hurricane investigation, the biggest scandal in American history.
And I would say to former FBI director James Comey, uh this first indictment is just the beginning of justice you will face.
Uh this first indictment is related to James Comey's uh lying to Congress to the Senate Judiciary Committee to then Chairman Shot Grassley in 2017 when my former boss asked James Comey about his leaks to the media about this matter.
He lied about it.
He lied about it again in 2020.
He reaffirmed his lying to Congress in 2020.
This was both a lie under 18 USC 1001, false statements under 18 U.S. C. 1001, and it's also obstruction of a congressional investigation because when you lie to investigators, you obstruct their investigation.
We couldn't uh we're not going to see Comey charged from the 2017 lie because that's beyond the five-year statutes of limitations, but the 2020 lie got charged by Trump uh U.S. attorney, Lindsay Holligan, uh, within the five-year period.
Remember what happened with this grand jury.
This grand jury is a bunch of Democrats, including government workers in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia, and this woke white, wealthy enclave outside of Washington, D.C. It seems from the news reports that the grand jury actually considered this seriously because the grand jury apparently did not return true bills uh on perjury,
but the grand jury did return true bills uh on the on the indictment uh for false statements and obstructions.
So the grand jury took these false statements and this obstruction seriously.
This alleged fault, these alleged false statements and obstruction by James Comey.
They took it so seriously that they charged him with these federal crimes, and now James Comey is going to show up for his arraignment today in the federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia.
He's already pled not guilty.
Uh the judge is gonna explain to him the rules of the road.
He's very familiar with the rules of the road.
He was the head of the FBI, he was a prosecutor before.
He has Patrick Fitzgerald, his buddy, who was another deep state actor as his defense attorney.
And so I'm excited to see what old James Comey Comey has to say.
He's awfully sanctimonious.
And he's he's told us before that even small lies need to be prosecuted because uh it's so damaging to the system.
Again, this is just the beginning of justice for James Comey.
He participated in the biggest scandal in American history when he politicized and weaponized law enforcement and intel agencies with crossfire hurricane to take out presidential candidate Trump to help Hillary to cover up her foreign corruption.
And when they failed and Trump went into the White House, they hobbled his presidency, they impeached him twice, they went after his top aides like you, Steve Bannon.
They put Peter Navarro and you in prison.
They tried to put Trump in prison four times for non-crimes.
They tried to bankrupt him for non-fraud, they tried to take him off the ballot in several states unconstitutionally.
The Democrats even tried to take off Trump's head twice.
When Biden said Trump was the gravest threat to democracy, uh, compared him to Hitler, said to put a bullseye on him on Trump, and then underfunded a Secret Service protection twice.
So I want to emphasize this.
Today is the beginning of justice.
Certainly not the end.
steve bannon
Folks, this is the beginning, and look, there's so much going on behind the scenes here in the last couple of months, but this is the first step in the formal process that is going to take years.
So get ready.
And you're gonna know all the details.
We're gonna give you all the inside baseball.
Mike, just hang on.
The viceroy's with us, just hang over for one second.
We'll go back to Brian Glenn, uh, and they come back to Mike on this topic.
Brian, I want to make sure everybody in the audience understands.
Yesterday at the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I think Pam's going back up today or tomorrow to the House, is a part of a piece of what we're seeing today.
She was viciously attacked by the Democrats, right?
Uh on her competence, uh, her veracity.
They essentially call her liar.
I mean, she said it all the time, you're calling me a liar.
Uh, you see that the Democratic Party, which now can't win elections unless they uh steal elections through illegal aliens having on the ballot, have them on the ability to vote or count in congressional districts.
It's very obvious from everything that's going on, it all revolves around illegal aliens.
They realize they're like rats we have cornered.
And that means they're gonna get more and more dangerous, as you see what's happening in in New York City, what's happening in Chicago, what's happening in Portland.
Um, But talk to me about the White House.
The White House has been observing this.
You had Pam attacked viciously yesterday.
Today, the first step in a long journey of taking apart the deep state by using the rule of law.
What is your assessment of what's the White House thinking about this today?
brian glenn
That's a great assessment on that.
I was just listening to, I guess, one of the protesters behind me.
I wouldn't share what they were saying.
But you know, this is, you know, and also going after Antifa, which has been kind of the ground troops in a lot of this stuff as far as causing this chaos around U.S. cities, all about uh the ICE and the deportations, and really uh one of the reasons why Pam Bondi and President Trump has ordered the National Guard to all these cities is to protect these ICE facilities uh to prevent what happened uh there in Dallas just a few weeks ago.
So she was attacked yesterday, but it's really interesting to find out when you look about how the DOJ and the FBI and all the government agencies just were weaponized against J Sixers against anybody that basically school board parents remember school board parents were getting arrested for simply voicing their opinion about how the school board at the time was uh teaching some of the uh the very uh woke uh trans agenda that was happening on the school board.
Even speaking out on that, they were uh wrongfully arrested and charged, and and some spent time in jail.
So this is a bigger piece of a larger puzzle here that we're fighting uh for conservatives, and it's going to be long and hard.
And let me make this also perfectly clear.
And I was talking to a colleague yesterday about this government shutdown.
Right now, the Democrats are polling historically low right now.
They have nothing to lose.
And I don't see uh this government uh shutdown ending anytime soon because they want to see Americans suffer, not only with job loss, they want to see insurance rates go up, they want to see people losing their livelihoods, they want to see inflation going back up.
This is what they want to do.
They want to ruin this country on Donald J. Trump's watch, and then in hopes of sometime gaining the Americans' trust back in the midterms, and of course, looking further down to 2028.
So uh it all starts in the courtrooms.
It all starts with accountability.
And of course, I was reading some hit pieces on the way here uh to this courthouse about the left with love.
They're calling all of this uh reaper, you know, they're basically Trump's revenge tour on everything.
But now this is more about holding people accountable for what has happened.
steve bannon
Um Brian, stay right there.
We're gonna come right back to you momentarily when Comey comes.
I want to go to the Viceroy again.
Uh Mike, uh, since uh you know, you for Grassley, you work with him for years, you know House Judiciary, you saw it yesterday, or Senate judiciary.
Um I thought it was a travesty.
I thought the personal attacks of Pam Bondy were way outside the bounds.
And it I think it goes to show you because it's this first step of our journey for them.
They are literally gonna go after everybody in the Justice Department viciously.
And and this is the first step in a long legal journey we've got.
But you've already got um, you know, it's all kind of weighed against us because we're not in DC, which is impossible to get anything regarding uh justice uh against the deep state.
But even Northern Virginia, you just mentioned, I mean, Northern Virginia, you cross the Potomac now, uh, and my beloved uh native state is literally Washington, D.C., all the way to Fredericksburg.
So you're just in a suburb of Washington, D.C. with all federal workers.
And that's who's essentially are people that's livelihoods are tied to expanding government, right?
Uh, with with services, consultants, et cetera.
So it's very tough, very tough to get a fair jury here, very tough to get a fair trial.
But talk to us about this journey.
mike davis
Well, look, I want to step back and say this is why I have been so strongly praising Pam all along.
And I understand that, you know, she with any appointed official, they can disappoint from time to time.
But what's so key about Pam is that she is fiercely loyal to President Trump.
She lives outside of the swamp.
She's from deep red Florida and Not Washington, D.C., she doesn't care about the swamp.
She doesn't want to become part of the swamp.
She's not a lifer in the swamp, and she is tough as hell, as as we just saw at that Senate Judiciary Committee here.
And you, if you got some Ivy League white dude as the attorney general, some dork as the attorney general, that attorney general would have been up there apologizing and begging for forgiveness from those partisan Democrat senators.
Pam Bondi stood her ground and punched back and punched back very forcefully.
She is a force to be reckoned with.
We are seeing this right now with James Comey.
I don't think Bill Barr would have had the balls, yes, balls to do what Pam Bondy is doing today by moving forward with this indictment.
Uh wow, just under the five-year statute of limitations to go after uh James Comey.
I don't think Pam Bondi would have uh allowed the U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Florida, Jason Redding Kinones, my good friend, to have the court open up a new special grand jury and Fort Pierce,
Florida, the same Fort Pierce where Jack Smith tried to throw President Trump in prison for the rest of his life for espionage for presidential records that President Trump was allowed to have under the Presidential Records Act.
So maybe just maybe they're actually going to move forward with what we've been discussing on your show for three years, Steve, which is the conspiracy against rights.
When these lawfare Democrats use the FBI, the intel agencies and politicized them and weaponized them to go after Trump, his top aides, and his supporters.
That seems like a conspiracy against rights under 18 USC Section 241.
Jack Smith and the Welfare Democrats are very familiar with that charge.
It's one of the charges they got they brought against President Trump.
And I I imagine that's between Pam Bondi having balls of steel and Jason Redding Kinones coming from a family of Cuban refugees, a family that despises the weaponization of government, and it's it's to their core they despise that.
I I imagine I'd bet you anything that justice is coming.
steve bannon
I want to drill down on this for a second, because all the information we know about Comey in the act itself, um happened uh correct me if I'm wrong.
I think the actual incident that it happened during Barr's watch, right?
Or before Bar uh during Barr's when Barr Barr had every ability for many other things to start this, but of course he wasn't going to do it.
I mean, they actually were counter to President Trump.
It took President Trump actually coming back in those years in the wilderness, Mike, of which you became the vice royal became a major part of the team.
You had worked for Grassy before, then you started the Article III project.
I I gotta tell you, without the Article III project and your ability to articulate these complicated issues, I'm not sure we get here today.
I think that's the importance of what you as the viceroy is uh has done.
I want to go and talk about this Fort Pierce for a second because I've been advocating and you've been saying, hey, we don't want to do that because it's gonna slow things down.
And I finally had Josh Hawley yesterday because of the wiretapping of the senators about just selecting somebody to be a special prosecutor here and take the whole case.
Now talk to us about what's going on, because if we do it in Washington or even Northern Virginia, you this thing is not going to get the traction we want because of the prejudice of the jury pool and the judges.
Uh so talk to us about what's happening in Fort Pierce, and can that be where this expanded conspiracy case actually lands?
mike davis
Just to be clear, I have very publicly called for this for the last three years.
Uh in my 5,000 media hits where you have turned me into the biggest media whore in Trump world.
But I I would say this that I have very publicly called.
steve bannon
That's saying something.
That's saying something.
Go ahead.
mike davis
The I I have very publicly called for the Trump when Trump wins re-election, and everyone said that was impossible, and then it was Steve Bannon and me and the war room posse fighting every day.
Uh President Trump's back in the White House, and justice Is coming.
We we have been calling for this every day for the last three years with again over 5,000 media hits, constant opinion pieces, constant social media, constant meetings with senators and members of the House, constant meetings with the coalition.
We have built this political case.
John Sauer and Todd Blanch and Aimel Bove, the new judge on the Third Circuit, and the rest of Boris Epstein of the rest of President Trump's team, Pam Bondy, when she was on the impeachment team, President Trump's legal team have made the correct legal arguments with presidential immunity.
We provided all the support they needed with the political arguments to help the six Republican appointed justices find and keep their backbones because as conservatives, we not only have to get the law right, we have to have the politics right so our side doesn't go wobbly.
They did that.
President Trump is back in the White House.
Pam Bondy's running the Justice Department.
I pushed very forcefully to get Jason Redding Kinone's picked very very early on as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
The Democrats obstructed his confirmation for many months.
He finally got confirmed.
You just saw it's very public that the court grants it his motion to set up a special grand jury in Fort Pierce.
Those grand juries take time, so the grand jury should be up and running by January because you have to send out the notices and you have to do all the process that's required to set up special grand juries, and then those special grand juries go for 18 months.
So I would say that January seems like the time uh that the grand uh the grand jury in Fort Pierce could start hearing a conspiracy against rights case.
Who knows?
Maybe they're already starting to do investigations right now before the grand jury is fully impaneled in January.
So you have a case that's building, so you can take it to the grand jury.
But uh look, again, I have very publicly called for this.
That's all of these law fair democrats that who participated in this ongoing criminal conspiracy to take out uh President Trump, his top aides, his allies, his supporters, even parents Christians, when you politicize and weaponize intel agencies and law enforcement that go after your political enemies.
That is the biggest scandal imaginable.
That is the biggest criminal conspiracy imaginable.
And these law fair Democrats better lawyer up because again, nobody's above the laws, James Comey told us constantly.
And I'm gonna make damn sure uh over the next four years that these people face justice.
steve bannon
Viceroy, uh, hang on for one second.
I want to go to Brian Glenn.
It looks like there's a little activity.
We're gonna come back to Mike Davis with more analysis on this.
Uh folks, this is the uh a a uh signpost on the journey we've been taking together about making sure we can save this constitutional republic.
It started in the uh on J 6, uh, what they what turned into uh what they said turned into an insurrection was as farthest from the truth.
Now we know they're 274 FBI uh agents uh outside.
So much is just becoming clear now.
Yesterday you just found out because of a whistleblower, not because we have control of the FBI.
Um and let's go to Brian Glenn right now.
Brian, it looks like uh people are moving forward.
They're not going to come to the podium, they're gonna go across.
Is that what's happening?
brian glenn
That's what it looks like.
I just walked over to where the main reporters are to try to find out exactly what the timing of everything and when when what's what's happening.
We've seen a lot of uh guest reporters that were been inside the courtroom run out to each corresponding tent to kind of give their reports of what uh is happening.
But yeah, it looks like the the group has moved across the street just waiting for some type of appearance.
And I was told earlier that they did not see Comey come into the courthouse.
So he has not been seen as of yet outside the area that we're at.
Uh now I can't confirm that he's going to come out and make a statement or his attorney or someone with all of this.
unidentified
Well, I'll hang on the legal team, but I would hang on, hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
I'm I'm gonna give you some inside baseball.
There are entrances, Mike Davis, there are interests that you can bring people in.
They were very specific when I was arranged, Peter Navarro reigned, that we had to walk.
They wanted us to walk in front of this uh in front of the lynch mob of the media.
Uh I think I gave as good as I got, but they actually ruled out any ability to come into this courthouse uh undercover.
Do you think that they've actually uh waived the rules for Comey so Comey can slip in here like the rat he is instead of having to face at least uh some of the media like real America's voice that may pop a uh uncomfortable question, sir?
mike davis
It's a very good question, Steve.
When I was when I was a brand new prosecutor almost 20 years ago, I worked in that courthouse uh in the US uh U.S. district court for the Eastern District of Virginia, it would be pretty unusual to give a preferential treatment or special treatment to a uh defendant like James Comey simply because he's the favorite of the deep state, but uh maybe there are security reasons, I'm not sure what the thought process would be.
They certainly didn't care about uh you know perp walking you or Jeff Clark or you know, pulling you guys out of your homes and you know, and Jeff uh Peter Navarro, Jeff Clark they pulled out of his home in his underwear, uh Peter Navarro they perk walk.
They didn't have they didn't have any problem putting Steve Bennett and Peter Navarro Navarro in six uh for in prison for six months for constitutional executive privilege going back 250 years to uh George Washington, but who knows, maybe this Democrat judge who is on this case?
steve bannon
No, no, no.
I'm gonna f I'm gonna find out uh all of it because I'll be blunt is that uh when I went to I showed up to the federal court for a misdemeanor.
I turned myself into the uh FBI on the date and I was arraigned later.
Uh I was uh put I was shackled for a misdemeanor.
I was shackled, put in a van, taken over to the federal courthouse from the FBI, and basically put in one of those holding cells below Federal Thing, it's a holding cell that is uh, you know, you have no access to anything for hours, shackled uh without seeing your attorney.
Oh, these guys try to play smash trials.
They were trying to break you.
In fact, at the time, I was thinking, uh, I can go through this and we're gonna be fine.
Uh, you know, I could I give two F's, right?
But I was thinking there are a couple of three guys I know that may get rolled up in this thing.
I don't think we're gonna handle this, you know.
It's it's a psychologically, they try to break you from the very beginning.
Uh and if Comey doesn't have this, I'll clearly check in with the DOJ and uh and FBI and find out why he's getting special treatment.
He should get the exact change because his are felonies.
Let me go back.
Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon were misdemeanors for not complying with with Congress, which is as you know, Mike, 99% of the time were civil are handled civilly.
I think for the first time since uh uh the McCarthy era, and I think there's only one guy, um uh Ring Lardner Jr., who there's another uh shot of outside the courthouse, uh Ring Lardner Jr., who actually served in Danbury.
It's the reason I requested Danbury prison uh when they said they were gonna put me in a prison, not in a camp.
Um that Ring Lardner Jr. actually for failing to testify back then it was actually a felony.
That's why he went to to Danbury.
The people at Danbury told me they don't ever remember a misdemeanor being in a federal low security prison.
This is we gotta make sure I will t uh uh promise the audience I'm gonna find out why Comey's not his are felonies.
I mean, he's got for two felonies, and this is just the appetizer.
There's so much more coming.
Uh do you think they try to cut a deal?
Well, look, this courthouse, the judges, everybody associated with this are a bunch of flaming progressives.
Northern Virginia, like I said, it's not Virginia anymore.
Virginia ends at Fredericksburg.
Basically everything north of there, and you still got Spotsylvania, some good folks there, but basically everything north of there is just a suburb of Washington, D.C. and infected with the administrative state uh mindset.
But Mike, do you think that uh because the other thing I was told, and just to show respect to the court, when they say 10 o'clock, the judge wants you there at 10 o'clock.
They don't want you there at two after 10.
They don't want you at five out of 10.
So uh my vehicle with my security guys, we'd always show up a couple minutes early just to show respect for the court.
I mean, I don't know why.
I thought it was supposed to be a rain at 10 if I had the schedule correctly.
I I don't know why we're we're running late here.
mike davis
Well, I would say this to James Comey that you might get this VIP treatment in the Eastern District of Virginia, but I doubt you're gonna get this VIP treatment in the Fort Pierce division in the Southern District of Florida.
So right now he's getting the four seasons.
Uh he's gonna get the Motel 6 in Fort Pierce.
Um look, and I would also say this, Steve.
Uh when when they when the next Democrat administration throws me in the gulag, throws me in Dan Barry.
I want uh, you know, as someone who's uh who's has not exactly been the most healthy person in Washington, DC over the last year.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
I got breaking news.
They slipped Comey in through another entrance so he didn't have to come through here.
This is bull.
I don't know who at DOJ and who at the FBI or the I hope the White House understands this.
That, you know, instead of Navarre and I, and look, I proudly walked in there because I was proud of what I did.
And I wasn't gonna have the media.
Mike Davis, you know this.
You're one of the guys that that backed me, one of my lawyers.
Uh I was proud.
I don't backing down the media, but they try to sit there and psychologically break you, so they got that image of you walking to court the entire time.
I don't know how James Comey's in court right now.
He just pleaded not guilty.
Is that correct?
On social media.
They allowed Comey to do something they didn't allow anybody else to do.
This is the problem.
The problem is the system is rigged on these guys' side.
Okay?
It's got to stop.
Is Comey going to be shackled?
Uh is Comey going to be strip searched?
Why Comey's there for felonies.
Navarr and Bannon, hey, look, I never whined about this at all.
It is what it is.
And when I went to prison, the audience knows that.
It is what it is.
But I'll be damned if we're gonna sit here and allow Comey, who is a total scumbag, and you already see this deck is already, it's uh the they've already stacked this deck right now.
Why is Comey not coming in from outside?
Like everybody has to.
There's no way of taking you below a thing.
And I don't want to hear security.
You don't think there was higher security at taking out Steve Bannon or Peter Navarro, right?
That than James Comey.
Mike Davis, how could we have allowed this to happen?
Comey's in court right now, just pled, I think he just pled not guilty.
mike davis
Yeah, I that's a good question.
I just pinged a bunch of people at the DOJ, top people at the DOJ, and I'll try to find out why this happened.
steve bannon
The DOJ runs this deal.
If the D if anybody at the DOJ said that was fine.
That that is not good with the Warren Posse, it's not good with MAGA.
We want Comey to get the exact same treatment.
Look at President Trump.
Did they give President Trump or remember the circus?
You had Rachel Mada, and they had the deck chairs like they were, they had uh they're like their directors.
You think they were shooting apocalypse now, right?
You had nine uh uh uh directors' chairs, they're sitting up there drinking espresso, cappuccinos, uh pining about President Trump.
They took his mugshot, everything like that.
President Trump didn't get any didn't get any favors.
Nobody around President Trump, hell Tom Barrick.
Tom Barracks in the Middle East right now is ambassador to Turkey and a special envoy to the Levant.
They they dragged him out to uh to Riverside and threw him in a f in a federal jail for 14 days before he even dealt with him in in one of the roughest jails out there to make in general population.
What they did is go out of their way to try to break the Trump people, and they're already giving a special deal to Comey.
I I don't understand this, Mike.
I thought this was also and Comey's there for two felonies.
This is what's so outrageous about it.
We were there for essentially a civil charge, like uh uh advanced form of jaywalking, right?
We had to go through the whole thing and the cost of it, the cost of security, the cost of the lawyers, and have the media try to be little pricks like they always are.
Not that I mattered, and not that it mattered to me.
I think I gave better than I got, but it's about the process and about how it's done.
Mike Davis, the viceroy, your thoughts.
mike davis
Yeah, I I that this I I'm with you, Steve.
If they gave special treatment to James Comey, they're already off to a very bad start on this case.
They they need to treat James Comey.
steve bannon
They gave bad they gave bad, they gave bad treatment.
The media's all out there today told, hey, he's rolling up here, there's gonna be a podium, and he slips in like the rat he is under the cover of darkness, right?
I'm sure they're gonna say, Mike, oh, it's security concern.
Hell with that.
You don't think it was a bigger security concern for Steve Bannon in DC.
Remember, I was in the the heart of The district.
And until Trump sent the troops a very unsafe place, was it not?
Sir, you can say I'm telling you, this is what we're trying to take apart.
The deep state works in unison.
Mike Davis has taught us this lesson over the years, and now you're seeing it here again, right?
Of how the deck is stacked, because the way the the apparatus works right below the surface, right?
Right below the surface where the court has with the federal marshal, with the U.S. Marshals, with the uh with the with the people that actually run the day-to-day of the courts with the FBI, because the FBI is you know that I mean they know everybody.
This is where they this is one of the biggest courts they work out of, is it not, sir?
mike davis
Yeah, this is a big one.
This is the Eastern District of Virginia, it covers the CIA, it covers the Pentagon, it covers the suburbs of Washington, D.C., and um, you know, in Alexandria, Virginia, which used to be part of D.C., uh so I uh you you're making very good points, Steve.
If they're letting James Comey slither out of this courthouse and not face this, uh that's very interesting.
Um it's a very, very interesting uh face very interesting approach.
steve bannon
I t I t I tell you someone who's not gonna be digging this.
I'm just making a random observation.
I think that is the guide that we continue uh because Article 3 has taught us this about the Article II powers, the individual that has in the the in the uh proper interpretation of the Article II powers, the chief law enforcement officer and chief magistrate of this constitutional republic.
I am sure he is not going to be digging this, okay?
Just not.
Comey should be treated just like Navarre and just like Bandit.
I'm not asking for any worse treatment for Comey.
He should be shackled, strip searched.
Hey, like I said, it it was what it was.
If that's the process, let's just do the process.
No whining, no, there's no tears in the war room, right?
But no, to have a scumbag like this, and and and Comey's a little frail.
You know, he comes out with the Taylor Swift thing, he goes to Taylor Swift concerts, he knows all the songs by heart.
I mean, come on, man, he's a grown-ass man.
What are you doing?
He's kind of a weird, weird guy, right?
Very not just sanctimonious, but there's something I don't know, I don't want to get crude, but it's this it's just something about this guy that's let me say this.
He's not gonna handle being in a cell block in a federal prison for a long period of time.
That's not gonna turn out well for him.
He's just the cut of his jib uh is just not right.
But Mike Davis, this is the way the deep state works.
It's this interlocking connectivity of intelligence and law enforcement and the judiciary, sir.
mike davis
Yeah, and this this right here is precisely why I have very publicly called for the special grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, where you have a grand jury of real Americans in real America.
You have outstanding federal judges like Judge Eileen Cannon, uh, who calls balls and strikes and treats defendants equally.
Uh you don't have special treatment uh down in Fort Pierce, Florida, because you a judge wouldn't allow special treatment.
So it uh this was a misstep if the Trump Justice Department allowed James Comey to avoid public scrutiny like any other defendant, this was a misstep.
steve bannon
Yeah.
This is by the way, when they said, hey, you got to walk to a and they had a mob outside with no crowd control.
They had a mob outside where I where I turned myself in to the FBI, and then they had a huge mob in media and media outside, both of them.
I said, if that's the process, that's the process.
Let's roll.
Let's just go.
It's game day.
Let's hit it.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
But here Comey, you already see special treatment.
They slid him in uh through one of these sally ports or through one of these underground parking decks to get him in, uh to get him in with no media scrutiny.
So there wouldn't be that image of Comey forever walking into federal court, being the first FBI director, the real FBI director, the acting director, Gray, uh, if memory serves me correctly, Duran Watergate, I think Patrick Gray, who had been acting FBI director, was actually indicted.
Though those charges were dropped later.
But Comey is the first full-time FBI director to ever be indicted.
And that photo of him going into the court would live in infamy uh for him.
And that's why they avoided it.
And somebody s must have signed off on it.
And this is okay.
With Pam and the folks and and and every, you know, we have a very I keep saying this all the time.
We have a very tenuous grasp on the Justice Department.
We have no grasp on the judiciary, but a very tenuous grasp on the Justice Department, and even less on the FBI.
FBI would mean we got two guys over there.
This is why I keep saying not just about uh they should have a recess, so recess appointments President Trump could get his whole team over there.
But you have to be going in this thing and blowing out like everybody if if this was signed off by justice.
Everybody associated with this, I don't know.
To me, should be at five o'clock today, boom, you're gone.
Right?
And particularly if they didn't let this the high command up the chain of command know exactly what they were cooking up.
Because what they wanted to avoid, that the and they're gonna be they're gonna be laughing, hey, the Trump guys, we pulled one off of them.
They don't want a historic photograph.
This is why we started the show.
I didn't even do a cold open.
I didn't even do my long open, right?
Why?
I wanted the camera to go right there.
It's gonna be historic.
At 10 o'clock, he's gonna show up.
Boom, you're gonna have a historic figure of the first FBI director ever indicted on felony charges, right?
And you're gonna see this historic thing, and that'll be there.
That'll be there forever.
This is the equivalent of Hillary Clinton in the Benghazi hearings.
You remember, they had her take uh the um Trey Gowdy, the goofball, allowed her to take the oath because she had to be sworn, it was sworn testimony.
She didn't do it in front of the cameras.
Because I was running Breitbar at the time, I said, hey, we're gonna have a historic thing.
Hillary Clinton being sworn in in front of the world on all uh about her lies and misrepresentation about Benghazi.
It didn't happen.
I said, What happened?
They negotiated.
They negotiated to have her uh to have her swear in uh before she walked out uh and took a seat at the table.
This is what they do because this is all negotiated.
You're your your surrender and your arraignment is kind of negotiated between the before the lawyers.
Now, there's a process, and of course, Navarre and Bannon are going to get going to be retail, right?
Here you're getting a wholesale deal, Mike Davis, and this is just not acceptable.
We needed that photograph today.
This is why folks, when I say it's the first step now in the official journey, because been working for years on this, and you see Mike Davis all over it.
Every day is going to be a struggle.
Every day is going to be a struggle.
Let me go back.
This is why I say Boris Epstein is one of the great heroes in this country.
Why?
He put the team together.
As you remember, Mike, it wasn't easy fielding a team, right?
Uh to get the team boards put together, he had to work in 21, it was very hard to put together team, given that they were trying to uh they were trying to destroy Trump.
Even uh even Rupert Murdoch sent that email out to the Fox senior executive.
We're gonna make him a non-person.
Well, he became a non-person, as Eric Trump told us yesterday, in the business community, in the commercial uh community, in the finance community, and that means big law firms are not going to retain you.
I know this because some of my uh my my lawyers all worked at big firms that came back to me and said, hey, we love you, but our corporate clients are gonna quit because you're Trump's guy, and we ain't represent anybody associated with President Trump.
So this is negotiated, and here's my point is that somehow somebody in a position of authority, either with the court, with the judge, with DOJ, with the FBI, bent the knee to to Comey and allow Comey to slip in here like the snake he is, like the vermin he is, like the rat he is to slip in here and not have to face the cameras.
Now he's gonna walk out and go to the podium and you know pontificate, I'm sure, uh, if he does that, otherwise we'll slip out of here.
But this is a major screw up already, sir.
mike davis
I would say this.
James Comey helps lead the biggest scandal in American history.
He helps politicize and weaponize law enforcement and intel agencies to take out a leading presidential candidate to help the other.
And then when they failed, they tried to take out a president of the United States.
And then when he left office with the evidence that they did this, they tried to destroy him and throw him in prison and bankrupt him and throw him off the ballot, right?
So this is the biggest scandal in American history.
This indictment of James Comey Comey is the beginning and not the end of justice for James Comey.
Uh, I'm gonna push very forcefully, like I have for three years for another indictment down in the Southern District of Florida for conspiracy against rights.
But I would say this, I agree with you, Steve, that's if anyone on the planet should have been perp walked and faced the humiliation, the shame like every other criminal defendant does.
It should have been James Comey.
This was this is uh I I defend everything in Trump world.
I can't defend this one.
steve bannon
This this is this is this is um I was proud to go on.
There's a misdemeanor.
First off, number two, all of those rats on the committee and the staff all crawled on their belly over to the White House in the closing days of Biden's illegitimate regime and got an auto pin pardon.
They knew they were criminals.
They knew they'd criminalized that committee to come after it.
They had criminal activity.
Otherwise, why did the staff, by the way, the staff, the chief of staff over there perjured herself, the chief counsel purred herself in my trial, right?
Bald face lied about the whole process.
A bald faced lie, we knew it was a bald faced lie.
Of course, the the Trump appointed judge when that is getting the information in.
That's a tale for another day.
But my point is they knew that they were breaking the law and coming after us, criminalizing it, because later they crawled on their belly, not just Cheney in that crowd and shifty shift that all got autopen pardons and Liz Cheney, but the staff got pardons.
And we had to face it.
I was proud to go outside there, but I will tell you, it's quite intimidating.
It's meant to be intimidating.
It's meant to break you.
You've got the world's media out there, and they're not there to help you.
Okay.
Now, today, for some reason, and we'll get to the bottom of that reason, but I can guarantee you the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of the United States, I don't think was in the loop on this.
And clearly the media was not in the loop on this our own Brian Glenn.
In fact, can we get is Brian still down there?
Uh okay.
Where did he go?
mike davis
Hey, Steve.
unidentified
He's getting someone.
steve bannon
Okay.
mike davis
Hey, Steve.
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
Yes, sir.
mike davis
I have the answer.
I it was uh there there was a summons issued instead of an arrest warrant.
I think that was a uh an oversight.
And so uh they couldn't have him, they could not have Comey surrender with the FBI when there was a summons instead of an arrest warrant.
I I think it was an administrative mistake and it was not intentional.
steve bannon
But even unintentional is not that that is.
mike davis
I hear you, man.
steve bannon
Okay, that's not the way they want to start.
I hear you, brother.
I hear you, but I'm not blaming listen, I'm not I'm not I'm not bl I'm not blaming people over there because look, they're swapped.
The the the the Senate Democrats, and this is why, and Mike, I had you on back in August.
And even JD's president of the Senate, we should have gone to a real recess, right?
A real recess.
And President Trump should then uh because Mike Johnson said I'll do it as speaker, not a problem.
The Senate will refuse to do it.
John Thune refused to do it.
Why did they refuse to do it to go into real recess?
They don't trust Trump.
One of the biggest aspects I keep saying that the Republican Party and the players here are just they see Trump as a passing summer storm.
They're just waiting to tap him along until he's gone, and then they go back to, you know, Ted Cruz already the Daily Telegraph already had a uh had a big story about how Ted Cruz is already gearing up for 2028.
They all want to go back to the norm.
Okay.
By not having those recess appointments, Mike, you know how under the gun and how overworked uh these folks are.
They you also know in the in the Eastern District of Virginia what we had to do there to make sure you actually had some people on the case.
But this is the kind of technical thing that happens that the deep state knows.
Don't get me wrong, I think obviously somebody knew this, knew the difference between the restaurant, because I had to show up at the FBI, turn myself in, go through the whole FBI process, then they took me over to a federal court, shackled, I might add, uh shackled uh to be arraigned by in front of uh at that time a magistrate judge, not not the actual judge over my trial.
So um, yeah, this was a technical issue.
mike davis
But let me say this, Steve.
steve bannon
So jump in.
unidentified
You're the lawyer.
steve bannon
I'm just I just play one on I just played one on war.
mike davis
Let me come to Lindsay Halligan's defense here, uh, because she's a good American patriot.
She's been trying she's a good thing.
steve bannon
Um by the way, I'm not I'm not hang on, hang on, hang on.
You're you're my you're my lawyer.
I'm not trying to go after Lindsay.
I think she's a superstar for jumping in here at the last second and getting this done because talk to people about the time limit we had here.
We were we were under the gun.
People were just prepared.
Oh, yeah, well, you know, it ran out, you couldn't do it.
We had that Tuesday, the ticking clock.
Lindsay Halligan is a hero to me, right?
For stepping in here and taking the responsibility.
Go ahead, sir.
mike davis
So before we before we dump on this uh uh more, I would just say this.
Lindsey Halligan got sent to be the U.S. attorney, and she got zero help in this deep state office.
She had to run this indictment and get it filed under the five-year statute limitations.
Like you said, she was under the gun and she got zero help to do this.
And she had a uh a grand jury that was resisting her on perjury.
They had you had a grand jury that went along with false statements, and a grand jury that went along with obstruction of a congressional investigation.
But this is a huge office, right?
This is an important office in the Eastern District of Virginia.
And you can't have there's not one assistant U.S. attorney.
It's not the U.S. attorney's job to do this, right?
The U.S. attorney is more of the political head of the office.
They're the people who go run for Senates after they're the U.S. attorney.
They're not the people who are actually in court.
They're not the people who are actually in the green.
steve bannon
But this is but hang on, Lindsay di and look in yes, looking looking at the paperwork.
This is where what the bailiff and the U.S. marshals, this is my point.
The deep state is always going to protect their own.
We're to these people alien invaders, okay?
That's they they control the apparatus, they control the system.
This is what I kept saying, the interlocking nature of the courts, uh, of the bailiffs, of all the people that actually run the administration of the courts in the court itself, the paperwork behind the scene, the FBI, that they work with these people every day.
Like you said, Langley is in this district, the Pentagon is in this district, right?
Pentagon City and all the contractors.
So this uh this district is I I think that if you got Southern District of New York and and and DC as the two most important, I think even this Northern Virginia and this federal courthouse, to me, is as important as uh as uh more important than like LA or Chicago.
Hey, Mike, can you hang on a second?
We are gonna take a break.
We're gonna pull we're gonna pull out of the break if that rat comey, you know, comes out to uh to pontificate.
The viceroy's with us.
We got Brian Glenn down there somewhere in the scrum.
Uh we're going through some of the the deep state by the way.
They've they're powerful.
This is why it's so hard to take it apart.
This is why no one's except Trump's ever tried.
This is why they tried to destroy Trump, and they're still trying to destroy him.
It's game on.
Hey, they're not gonna they ain't gonna back off.
You got two hammerhead mix here, Davis and Bannon.
They're not backing us off.
Throw us in prison, could care less.
We are dedicated to destroy this system you see in front of you because it's rigged against the average American and only works for the deep state and the elite financiers and corporatists that back it up.
Take a short commercial break.
We're gonna leave you with the right stuff.
I'll get jacked up on the music if I need to get jacked up anymore.
My warpath coffee.
Mike Davis is with us, the Viceroy.
Brian Glenn is on the scene, and we're gonna return to the federal courthouse.
Oh, here I'll tell you what, let's pull out right now.
Hang on.
There's Comey right there.
Let's we're not gonna go this break.
He didn't even come to the media.
See him right there.
We're just gonna follow this.
So Mike Comey did not come to the sticks, he didn't come to the microphone, no comment.
There's James, you're seeing a live James Comey right there.
Brian Glenn, are you on the scene?
brian glenn
Hey, Steve, I am can you hear me?
steve bannon
So, yeah, what's happening here?
brian glenn
Can you hear me?
Okay, real quickly, I can hear it.
We saw it would appears to you from this position, okay, that that Comey did walk out towards uh around the building.
I'm assuming towards a parking garage, at least from what I've hear from some of the people here.
Uh but we what's really interesting.
We talk about the the amount of support and the anti-Trumpers.
I found one person here, Steve, one person who is here to support not only President Trump, but also the what's happening with the prosecution and the justification of what's going on today.
This is Kim, you live in the area.
I looked around earlier, Steve was asking where I was at.
I was trying to hunt you down.
I met you.
What does it mean to you to come here and see Comey slither out of here, not make this public entrance like you've seen other Republicans come out and handcuffs the whole bit?
What what did you come here to see?
unidentified
That's huge, upsetting.
Huge upsetting to see Navarro put in handcuffs to see Bannon uh harassed and put in handcuffs and jailed.
But Comey, nothing slithered out around the corner.
That's maddening to me.
That's that's not justice.
brian glenn
And and Steve, I would imagine people watching us at home and listening to you guys really break this down, are just as angry as she is.
And in fact, uh, we want to see accountability, we want to see the pageantry.
And if we take a look at and if I can explain to the security around this courthouse, I I wouldn't say you know, if you given the the elevated risk of everything right now in our society, uh the crime, the lawlessness, how you know violent the left has become.
I don't see a lot of police presence here right now.
unidentified
No, and the police you do see they're on their phones.
They're not really watching out for us.
And I don't think protected.
But then again, I don't feel protected in Alexandria at all ever.
brian glenn
Yes, Steve.
steve bannon
Brian, can you go reposition yourself?
I think I don't I'm not so sure that was Comey.
I think we're still waiting for Comey to come out.
brian glenn
Okay.
Okay.
Let me uh that was just some of the things that I had heard as well.
Okay, we will.
We'll try to get a better position.
Hey, uh Mike just wanted to relay to you.
steve bannon
Mike, Mike Davis.
Yeah, yeah, fine, perfect.
Just let's get back repositioned.
Hey, Mike Davis.
Walk me through why why does he have a summons versus after surrender to the FBI?
mike davis
Uh that's a good question.
I think it was just an administrative mistake.
Um, you know, when you're when you're sent in to a U.S. attorney's office and your first day on the job, you're trying to single-handedly figure out uh where your office is and where the bathroom is, and then you have to indict the former FBI director because no one else in the building will help you.
Uh I I you know, I I I'll give Lindsay a pass on this one.
steve bannon
But but but but I know no, I'll give him a pass, but here's my point.
This stuff is very choreographed, right?
In in the in the process, what I'm saying, like even whatever you have, the night before, everybody's lawyers talk, like for instance, we know exactly what was going to happen, although they did change it up radically behind the scenes in light about what they were going to do to make it worse for me.
But I I didn't care.
I knew this was gonna be once you turn yourself in, they can do with the they basically can do what with you what they want, right?
But the difference between why what is a summons versus saying you're gonna come in and turn yourself in to be arrested.
You just tell the audience what the difference is.
mike davis
Yeah, summons is you're gonna show up.
They just send you a summons and on your own personal recognizance, you're gonna show up to court.
Like if you that's you know, that that's how um many defendants operate, uh particularly with misdemeanors, unless you're Steve Bannon and Peter Devaro, then they send the SWAT team.
But uh with a an arrest warrant, that's where the FBI actually goes and arrests you and takes you into court.
So um, James Comey should have been arrested.
steve bannon
If you get summons, if you get summoned though, you'd show up at the court to be arraigned.
The whole process, because when I turn myself into the FBI, that process takes an hour.
I mean, they get they got a they you know, they book you, they take your mugshot, they do everything, right?
It's a whole process, just like President Trump went through.
If you don't turn yourself in the FBI, you're just summons to court.
Is Comey not going to go through the process at all with the with the FBI?
And my point is the night before with security, and I'm kind of shocked there's not any security outside of here.
That was kind of the tell I I figured at about 20 after that you know you may not be seeing Comey walk in there.
Um but in the choreograph between the lawyers negotiating and and justice and the prosecutor, wouldn't it have come up that he wasn't gonna turn himself into the FBI?
He actually wasn't gonna be arrested, he was just gonna be arraigned.
Wouldn't I have come up and somebody go, well, hang on now?
How is that happening?
We definitely want him arrested because he's got to be all the all the paperwork and processing and fingerprinting and mugshots that the FBI do, it's not going to be done here, sir.
mike davis
Well, I don't want to rat out a source, but according to a very senior source at the Justice Department, and I'm going to let this source remain anonymous, this summons versus arrest warrant was discovered too late to do anything about it.
So that that's where that's where we are.
That's where we're not seeing a James Comey park block.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Um walk us through then what happens.
Comey's still there.
I think he's already pled not guilty.
So he must have, he's must have exited the building through the, I believe, through the through the uh through the Sally port or where KARCA pulled in, but we'll we'll stick around and see.
Um walk us through what happens after today.
He's arraigned what will have happened.
They give him they give him a preliminary day for some preliminary hearings, or what's the process from here?
mike davis
Yeah, I mean, he can invoke the Speedy Trial Act and demand a trial uh very fast within several months.
Uh and they it this is not a complicated case.
Uh, you know, he he might demand some discovery.
I don't know what discovery he would be able to get.
I mean, it's pretty clear cut.
He he testified in 2017 that he wasn't the source of of leaks on the biggest scandal in American history.
Uh to my former boss, Chairman Chuck Grassley, uh, he was under oath.
He's lucky he didn't get charged with perjury, he got charged with false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
And then when Ted Cruz asked him again in 2020, he reaffirms.
Uh he knew it was a lie.
I mean, or the evidence is going to show he knew it was a lie.
Uh I I think this is a slam dunk case.
And if it were in a district where you actually had fair jurors, this would be a no-brainer.
But I would not be surprised here in the Eastern District of Virginia if it's a hung jury or if James Comey walks.
I mean, he shouldn't.
It should be a slam dunk case.
But um we shall see.
unidentified
You're dealing with unfortunately put this in the middle.
mike davis
If you're in DC right across the Potomac River, you don't even get indicted.
Judge Janine Perrell can't even get people indicted when they viol violently attack people.
Uh that's how out of whack DC is.
Um, Eastern District of Virginia is a little bit less crazy, but not much.
steve bannon
Uh Halligan and and and Pam are doing yeoman's work, because I want to mention you just you just gave the dates there.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Back in like today, we have Pam Bondi as the attorney general of the United States, selected by the chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer, Donald J. Trump, who uh who uh uh has the office of the president, and that's why he appointed her.
Also, the uh the FBI uh the FBI director is now Cash Patel instead of Chris Ferray.
But back during this time, Christopher Ray was the head of the FBI.
Um Bill Barr was uh the head of the attorney general.
And this all could have taken place in 2020, could it have not?
We had the FBI, we had all the information we need.
Couldn't couldn't this have happened under in President Trump's first term?
mike davis
Absolutely.
Chris Ray was President Trump's biggest mistake.
And uh President Trump got forced to pick Chris Ray.
I remember when I was uh the chief counsel on the for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, I started my first day on the job was two days before Chris Ray's hearing.
So I inherited Chris Ray's nomination, and I remember everyone was spun up, even the Republicans were spun up saying Trump was colluding with the Russians.
And I I asked a simple question.
This is after I rolled off my clerkship for Gorsich to get him set up on the Supreme Court, had to go back to Colorado, move my stuff across the country and and start my job.
And I I simply asked this question.
I said, what did Trump collude to do?
Like what collude to do what?
And if people like if you just if you they had people so spun up on the on the Senate Judiciary Committee, if you just asked that question, then you were uh a Russian asset, right?
And so, and then they they were trying to pass the Muller bill where the president of the United States could not fire the FBI director to To McConnell's credit, he blocked that.
You know, McConnell uh did great things on judges.
He did things that have angered us, but to his credit, he blocked that bill.
But that's the mindset that even all the conservative Republicans had back in 2017 when Chris Ray got jammed down President Trump's throat after uh after President Trump fired uh uh Comey.
And so that's what we're up against.
That's what we're up against uh with Chris Wright.
He he protected he protected the deep state for years and years and years, and thank God we have Pam Bondy and Todd Blanch and Stanley Woodward as the number three and cash patel and Dan Bongino.
I it I mean Cash and Dan every day are are just going through the FBI, going through back offices and vaults and vaults within votes to find these documents.
steve bannon
Yeah, it's still it's still it's still whistleblowers, and we're not getting our hands on any documents.
They're suppressing the documents.
They said the other day, Ben Dan Bongino says, I don't have control of this.
The whistleblower came to him on, on the wire tapping of as Senator Hawley causes the wire tapping of the I I think it's pretty evident.
Comey slipped out.
He did um he look he is looking for immediate dismissal of this, Mike Davis on malicious prosecution.
Your your thoughts on that.
That's one of the things he entered.
And he slipped out, he slipped out through the uh uh under the cover of darkness.
They allowed him to slip out.
I don't think you're gonna see Comey.
That was Comey's family that that left a few minutes ago that we followed.
Um what's the point of the thing?
mike davis
That's uh James Comey, the most malicious prosecutor in American history is complaining about malicious prosecution.
Uh what remember what the Democrats said when we when we said there was malicious prosecution against President Tr Trump?
Well, they would say, well, the grand jury indicted.
So even if the prosecutor was malicious, the the the grand jury of their peers is the one who brought the the indictment and not the prosecutor.
And so why doesn't that same argument apply here?
Look, I would say to these lawfare democrats, go to hell, right?
You you put Trump, his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter Devaro and Jeff Clark and others, his uh supporters on January 6th were persecuted.
You guys, parents, Christians, these lawfare democrats put Republicans through hell.
And they did it for eight years, going back to crossfire hurricane.
So these law affair democrats can go to hell.
Justice is coming, retribution is a crucial compart of a component of justice.
It makes the victims whole, it's uh serves as a powerful deterrent.
James Comey can go to hell.
And guess what?
Even if even if this Eastern District of Virginia jury or this Democrat judge lets him skate, which could happen because you're you're not dealing with real Americans in real America.
I want the process to be the punishment for this piece of garbage, James Comey.
steve bannon
Uh Mike, real quickly, on the on the journey, we're taking the first step today.
Uh I just want to give uh the audience a realistic uh because we're I know everybody's very aggressive.
People are working nonstop on this, but just give us your your how does this uh uh how does this roll out over the next couple of months in the best way that you know in your best thinking, how's this roll out?
mike davis
Like I said, the special grand jury, it just got set up by the court in Fort Pierce, Florida, in the Southern District of Florida, the Fort Pierce division, Judge Cannon is one of the judges there.
Um hopefully she will get this case um because she's very familiar with this case from uh from Jack Smith's case, and I think the grand jury will be up and running by January.
And I think I I hope, and I'm gonna push very publicly, advocate very publicly that that special grand jury in Fort Pierce takes all of these consolidated uh conspiracy cases against President Trump as top aides and his supporters, and justice uh will get delivered.
steve bannon
Mike Davis, the Viceroy, uh, where do people go to Article 3?
Now more than ever, you need to become part of the war and posse needs to become part of the Article III project.
Where do folks go, sir?
mike davis
I was gonna say, Steve, if you thought I was a media whore before today, just wait.
I It's gonna be I'm gonna make damn sure these people go to prison.
And I'm gonna do it very publicly.
Uh so article, three projects.org, article number three project.org.
You can follow us on social media, uh, donate, but only what you can afford up and take action.
Action, action, action, as we always say, is the war room's war room posse's superpower.
steve bannon
Mike Davis, the viceroy, thank you so much for joining us today.
mike davis
Appreciate you.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
Got a lot of work ahead.
Let's go.
Uh let's I've got Navarro at the White House.
Let's go to Peter.
Peter only got a couple of minutes.
I'm gonna hold you through the break.
But uh James Comey got special treatment, Navarro.
They dragged you, they dishackled you like a dog, then they dragged you into a uh to an arraignment.
Uh James Homie got VIP treatment for uh felonies, yours or misdemeanors.
How's that set with you, sir?
unidentified
Pisses me off, Steve, and I think we've seen the last vestige now of the deep state inside the Justice Department.
As Mike pointed out earlier, that this one somehow got by.
It's like what's supposed to happen is for me, mugshot, arrest, you know, all that stuff, but it didn't happen.
steve bannon
Hang on.
Don't don't hang on, hang, hang on, hang on.
We're not making any excuses.
The guys that set this up, the bailiffs and all the people in the courts, everything like that, they knew exactly what they were doing when they allowed this to be a summit.
So look, look, we're big boys and girls here.
We're about winning and victory.
unidentified
This was wrong.
Today, today, today I agree.
steve bannon
Today was outrageous.
Today, today, hey, hey, hey, and and DOJ, and I know Mike, and God bless him, he works these people, and he's a great man, and he's gonna make this happen.
But no, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta, we gotta own this one.
This is how hard it's gonna be to take.
This is just one small administrative matter, but in the narrative building, huge.
Okay, huge.
And quite frankly, it's just not good enough right now.
It's not good enough.
And I hope, I hope that the chief law enforcement officer and the chief magistrate of these United States of America.
I hope his head is blowing up, because it should be.
Not acceptable.
This is gonna be historic.
There was gonna be historic.
The only FBI director, not an acting director, the only FBI director in the history of this republic indicted on two felonies.
About during and during his job, not anything personally.
This is about doing his job, indicted on two felonies.
Okay?
We're gonna take a short break.
We got Peter Navarro at the White House.
Brian Glenn's going back over the White House at the big Antifa round table today.
Short commercial break, return of the war room in a moment.
