| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's 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're trying 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. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Tuesday to December, Year of the Lord 2025. | ||
| Thank you for tuning in to the late afternoon, early evening edition of The War Room. | ||
| We've got breaking news. | ||
| We're going to go right to the Viceroy, Mike Davis, who joins us by phone. | ||
| Mike, update on the NDAA and the AI amnesty, sir. | ||
| Well, it looks like the War Room posse has delivered once again, teaming up with the Article III project, because the AI oligarchs look like they are in retreat on AI amnesty and the must-pass Defense Authorization Act, the NDAA. | ||
| And this is the credit goes to the War Room Posse for lighting up both of their home state senators and their U.S. House rep at Article 3 projects action page. | ||
| This was on a glide path to pass again, like it was four months ago when Ted Cruz tried to put this in must-pass legislation. | ||
| And in about five hours, the war room posse changed the politics and it went down 99 to one four months ago, including Ted Cruz voting against his own legislation. | ||
| They thought they were going to run the same play again this time and the NDAA must-pass national defense authorization bill. | ||
| And the war room posse got them to got the House proponents basically waving the white flag of surrender. | ||
| You start to see those news reports coming out saying, this is important, Steve. | ||
| We've gone on your show. | ||
| We finally have their attention. | ||
| We've had crucial meetings with the administration on this where they understand if we're going to pass this federal preemption for AI, if we're going to let the federal government block the states and local communities from regulating AI so they can compete against China as they claim, we're going to do it the American way. | ||
| We're going to protect the four C's. | ||
| We're going to protect children from predators. | ||
| We're going to protect communities from AI data centers going in residential neighborhoods, for example, or water and electric rates getting jacked up to subsidize these AI platforms. | ||
| We're going to protect conservatives from online censorship, from being canceled by these AI oligarchs like Google and Meta. | ||
| And we're going to protect creators. | ||
| We're going to make sure that our content creators, our conservative media outlets like Steve Bannon's War Room, don't get ripped off to feed these AI machines. | ||
| We're going to do this the America way, not the Chinese way. | ||
| We can beat China the old-fashioned way. | ||
| We've done it for decades and we're going to continue to do it. | ||
| This is a huge win for the War Room posse and it's a huge win to the American people. | ||
| Mike, are they finally, is it too cumbersome to go through regular order to actually have committee meetings and have testimony and to kind of do things when you have massive, when you have a bill or when you have, excuse me, something like this would have an impact across American society. | ||
| Normally, you have hearings, you've got people pro and con, you've got witnesses for and against. | ||
| It goes through, you have committee markups. | ||
| I mean, it's a cumbersome process, but it's a process of how we've kind of governed this country with a balance of power. | ||
| They've tried twice to slip a couple of pages in, and it just shows you they don't understand the American people. | ||
| They have no understanding of the process we have here in this country. | ||
| But it's also an arrogance that they can just get their lobbyists and just power through here. | ||
| Do you think now they understand after trying this twice on the only two bills that had to be, you know, the big beautiful bill and the NDA, the authorization for the entire Defense Department, trying the same trick twice that now, particularly Scalise and people that are not normally on our side are coming on and saying, you know, this is not the right vehicle to do it. | ||
| Do you think we finally gotten people's attention that if you're going to do something this profound, it's got to be inclusive, at least in the debate of people pro this, against it, and in the middle? | ||
| Yeah, I mean, absolutely. | ||
| And I have been working at the Article III project with a coalition. | ||
| And we have drafted a 100-page plus piece of legislation that provides the federal preemption that these AI companies think they need so they don't get beat up by California and other blue states, but it does it in a way where it protects the four seats, children, conservatives, communities, content creators, right? | ||
| We want to make sure we're doing this the American way. | ||
| We're going to get this to the Trump White House this evening. | ||
| And you're exactly right, Steve. | ||
| This is a big piece of legislation. | ||
| This needs to go through the regular order. | ||
| It needs to go through the committee process. | ||
| It needs to go through amendments. | ||
| We need to have debate. | ||
| We need to get 60 votes in the Senate. | ||
| Look, if everyone agrees that the legislation, the proposed legislation the Article III project is drafting is good and you can get 60 votes in the Senate and a majority in the House and the President sign off on it, great. | ||
| But it's probably not going to work that way. | ||
| It's going to require debates. | ||
| It's going to require amendments. | ||
| It's going to require votes. | ||
| And, you know, that's the American way. | ||
| And that's how you're going to get the best legislation possible. | ||
| And no one's going to be ecstatic when the legislative process is over. | ||
| People are going to have some wins. | ||
| People are going to have some losses. | ||
| But that's how our process works. | ||
| That's how our legislative process works under Article 1 of the Constitution. | ||
| Now, I just want to make sure people are not resting on their shovels here and their axes. | ||
| Should they still go to Article 3 and still lay a call in or a text message or an email to their senator and their congressman just to reinforce that, hey, here's what I'm hearing, but I want to make sure that you're 100% against and that we kind of restart this process? | ||
| What do you recommend right now? | ||
| Because I don't trust these tech bolegarks at all. | ||
| No question, Stephen. | ||
| That's exactly right. | ||
| We should run through the tape on this one. | ||
| So people should go to article3project.org, article number3project.org, take action to go after the AI amnesty and the NDA. | ||
| It can't go in there. | ||
| We cannot have AI amnesty. | ||
| If they want federal preemption, if they don't want the states and local communities to be able to regulate AI companies, then we need to have federal rules of the road. | ||
| And that includes the four C's that the Article 3 project just is proposing in our 100-plus page legislation. | ||
| It is crucial. | ||
| But look, they tried to sneak it in. | ||
| As you said, Steven, the big beautiful bill, they tried to sneak it in the NDAA, but we've been on their game for months on that. | ||
| That's why this is dead on it. | ||
| It appears to be on life support right now. | ||
| They're going to find any opportunity they can to sneak this through instead of having debates. | ||
| And so it's crucially important that people light up both of their home state senators and their U.S. House rep and make them understand we're not doing AI amnesty. | ||
| We're not going to repeat the mistakes we made almost 20 years ago with Section 230 amnesty, an antitrust amnesty that created Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, these trillion-dollar big tech oligarchs that crush competition, cancel conservatives, and shutter small businesses. | ||
| We can't do that again. | ||
| This AI amnesty would be Section 230 on steroids, and we're not going to make the mistakes from Section 230. | ||
| Mike Davis, one more time. | ||
| Article 3, where do they go? | ||
| What do they look for in your social media, sir? | ||
| Article3project.org, article number threeproject.org. | ||
| Follow us on social. | ||
| Donate, but only what you can afford. | ||
| And again, we say this over and over: the war room posse superpower, as we just proved once again, is action, action, action. | ||
| So the posse, light them up one more time and then we'll take a ballot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yes, let's run through the tape here. | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you so much for joining us by phone. | ||
| The Viceroy leads us to victory one more time. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Make sure you go to Article 3. | ||
| Also go to Bill Blaster. | ||
| Talk to Grace. | ||
| Let's stay on them. | ||
| The head of the House Armed Services Committee, Mike Rogers, as Mike Rogers said today, was not, had lost momentum, wasn't going to be in the bill. | ||
| He's going to put language out on Thursday on the NDAA. | ||
| It's not going to include the AI amnesty. | ||
| Scalise just reconfirmed that. | ||
| And Scalise, you know, in a moment of, you know, enlightenment says, hey, maybe this wasn't the best venue to put it through. | ||
| You damn right it wouldn't. | ||
| And no offense, this is, I think, why it's, you know, and we're going to go to Tennessee. | ||
| We're going to go to Michael Patrick Leahy in a moment. | ||
| And I think, and what Leahy's saying is we're hearing that, I think turnout's great. | ||
| We've got to run through the tape there. | ||
| You still got a couple more hours in Tennessee. | ||
| But the reason that people are angry is the people in the House and the Senate fully understood what they were doing here. | ||
| They were trying to slide something in, like they changed the Electoral Count Act of 1887, unconstitutionally, I might add, to try to fool people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You cannot fool MAGA. | |
| We're going to get down and get the receipts and we're going to find out, understand, and we've now beaten you twice, or we're close to beaten you twice. | ||
| I don't want to get too cocky on this one because they're so duplicitous, they tried it again, a couple of pages, to give them, to take away all your rights, all your controls, all the safety of your children, all of it. | ||
| And we don't even know what's going on in these frontier labs, all of it for them to give it to the oligarchs. | ||
| Scalise knew this. | ||
| Mike Rogers knew this. | ||
| Everybody in the House knew the speaker knew this. | ||
| Guys in the Senate knew this. | ||
| Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz knew this. | ||
| They all knew it when it was getting slid in there. | ||
| If it hadn't been, once again, for Mike Davis and Article 3, the Joe Allen's of the world, getting people worked up and getting them worked up by looking at the facts where they came and said, no, this is not acceptable. | ||
| This is not right. | ||
| We're not going to have this. | ||
| And dig in and make enough phone calls and think that folks understood: well, hey, if I vote for this and my constituents know this, I may not be around here. | ||
| This is not the way it's supposed to work. | ||
| You're not supposed to play hide the football. | ||
| You got defeated back in July trying to do the same crap. | ||
| And even Ted Cruz was too embarrassed when he put the spotlight on that rat. | ||
| He didn't even vote for his own recommendation. | ||
| And we're going to go to Tennessee in a second. | ||
| And Marsha Blackburn led the fight on that. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| President Trump kind of told him, said, hey, I don't think you guys, I don't think this is going to work. | ||
| It was like two o'clock in the morning. | ||
| I think the vote was at three, 99 to 1. | ||
| 99 to 1. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They had the gall because they think you're dumb. | |
| Let's be honest. | ||
| They think you're idiots. | ||
| They do. | ||
| They have no respect. | ||
| You cannot sit there, oh, no, we respect you. | ||
| You do not respect the working man and woman in this country. | ||
| You do not respect the middle class. | ||
| You do not respect your base. | ||
| It's one of the reasons the base hates the ruling class and hates the political class. | ||
| Because you don't come to them and say, hey, look, we got third before, but we got to do this. | ||
| China's catching up to us. | ||
| Until somebody can show me, and maybe it's got to be the intelligence guys in a declassified setting, that the Chinese Communist Party, if we cut them off from chips, we cut them off from knowledge, we cut them off from technique, we cut them off from education, we cut them off from all capital markets, access to everything, that they can do this, that they're competitive in the sputnik moment. | ||
| And they're going to try to make that case. | ||
| The arms dealer, Jensen Wong, the arms dealer, he makes that case. | ||
| He makes the case that, hey, if China wins, not a problem. | ||
| If Chinese companies win, not a problem. | ||
| We're all going to have a group hug. | ||
| Yo, dude, not going to happen. | ||
| He's pitching all the time to sell everything to them because he's an arms dealer. | ||
| He's Khashoggi. | ||
| So this looks like a huge victory. | ||
| Once again, the pitchforks showed up and the Lords of the Manor said, hey, maybe we should rethink this. | ||
| These people look angry. | ||
| You damn right they're angry. | ||
| It just goes on and on and on and on. | ||
| No respect. | ||
| And beating them once again, they're going to try. | ||
| Hey, they're going to try to hold their lobbyists are going to be working. | ||
| They're going to be trying to hide the football in a million different ways. | ||
| And they're partnered now with the Tech Bros, a lovely group. | ||
| You got the ruling elite, the Republican establishment, the Tech Bros. | ||
| That's a witch's brew. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We have work to do. | ||
| Been working hard. | ||
| I know it, man. | ||
| Bringing victory after victory. | ||
| Because remember, victory begets victory. | ||
| What's going on at Tennessee 7? | ||

| So how to describe this? | ||
| DeGrosse is going to be with us in the morning. | ||
| Another victory. | ||
| I'm going to have, we are going to have Paul Lagerman from Heritage Action is going to join us at the bottom of the hour. | ||
| I believe that the House in Indiana has just voted out of committee a 9-0 map. | ||
| And we're going to talk about that. | ||
| DeGrask on journey this morning. | ||
| It's a free, it's a total fracas right now in the House. | ||
| I think Elise Stefanik has gone to the floor of the discharge petition about House members trading stocks on inside information. | ||
| This has been something, and Leahy knows this from the old breitboard days. | ||
| Peter Schweitzer, myself, the people at Peter Schweitzer's, at the organization we had at the time on the insider trading, because it actually is technically true that House members, it was true before. | ||
| We stopped it. | ||
| I think it's back. | ||
| They can trade on non-material, on non-material information, or excuse me, material, non-public information, which you would go to jail if you were at some company and heard some tip coming from the boardroom or if you saw some sales document and sales were down and you went and shorted the stock or dumped the stock, you would go to prison. | ||
| But House members, members of the House and Senate can actually vote on that. | ||
| Elise Stefanik, I think, is out there. | ||
| And the reason is she and Johnson, Speaker Johnson, are in a range war right now about the NDAA, but a different topic about Jamie Raskin and some things our intelligence is being rolled in, Arctic Frost. | ||
| It is, we're going to get into tomorrow, but it's a big, big, big, big fight. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, first things first, Tennessee. | ||
| This is a must-win. | ||
| President Trump won it by 22 for a whole host of reasons. | ||
| The polling got very tight here, and then everybody kind of pulled together. | ||
| You've got some breaking news for us, brother. | ||
| What do you got, Michael Patrick Leahy? | ||
| Very strong Election Day turnout today in all 14 counties that comprise the 7th district here in Tennessee. | ||
| And I've talked to some key sources that are familiar with turnout numbers. | ||
| And it looks like the projections are election day turnout may equal or surpass early voting. | ||
| Early voting, remember, 84,000 votes. | ||
| We thought that was pretty much a wash between Afton Bain and Matt Van Epps, looking at the counties involved. | ||
| But Election Day, you're going to have more Republicans turn out. | ||
| And so my projection had been we'd have a lower than early voting turnout. | ||
| I thought we'd have 68,000 turnout on Election Day. | ||
| It looks like we'll have 84,000. | ||
| As a result, I told you privately that I expected, anticipated that Matt Van Epps would win by five to six points. | ||
| With this higher Election Day turnout, so far, I think right now we're on track for a 10-point victory by Matt Van Epps tonight. | ||
| But Steve, if you are listening in Tennessee right now, two hours and 40 minutes, run through the tape. | ||
| If you haven't voted, go and vote for Matt Van Epps. | ||
| This is very important. | ||
| There's two hours and 40 minutes left for the polls to be open in Tennessee. | ||
| This is an absolutely critical seat. | ||
| Let's leave aside how we got here. | ||
| We got here and we're here. | ||
| The only thing that matters now is victory. | ||
| There's no substitute for victory. | ||
| We've got to win this one. | ||
| People have come together and we should give hat tips to Speaker Johnson and others that have piled into here. | ||
| All the conservative media, war room posse, people have piled into this over the Thanksgiving holiday. | ||
| And since early voting stopped, I think on Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock local time, people have pounded about getting folks ready, assisting people if they needed to get rides out to vote. | ||
| It was supposed to be inclement weather today. | ||
| I understand it was quite cold, but it was clear. | ||
| So, Michael Patrick, everybody did kind of come together, but we still have to run through the tape. | ||
| You know, after work voting is always very strong, particularly among working-class people that can't do it before work. | ||
| So, we need everybody. | ||
| We've got two hours, over two hours and a half. | ||
| This thing could hang in the balance right now. | ||
| But I think people did respond, it looked like, to they needed to get out and vote today, sir. | ||
| It's clear and cold here in Middle Tennessee in the 7th congressional district. | ||
| Temperature hovering around 32, 33 degrees. | ||
| There has not been precipitation yet. | ||
| It may get colder. | ||
| It may start to rain or sleet or snow between now and the closing of the polls. | ||
| So it's very important if you live in the 14 counties that comprise the 7th congressional district and you have not voted, turn your car around right now, go to the polling place and vote for the GOP nominee, Matt Van Epps. | ||
| A combat veteran, I think nine tours, 10 years in combat in the military, just incredible, incredible guy. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, they did have, before I let you go, because you've been following, and I want to announce tomorrow at 11 o'clock, we're going to have part two of the Sam Tannehaus, my interview about the book, Buckley, The Life and Revolution that Changed America. | ||
| So Sam Tannehaus will be here. | ||
| I can tell you off the first hour of the interview, book sales exploded. | ||
| The publisher is like blown away. | ||
| The Warren Posse really represented here. | ||
| And I got tremendous feedback from people who said they really enjoyed it. | ||
| So part two, which is even better than part one, is going to be tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to play it in the morning show, 11 a.m. | ||
| I'm thinking, you trigger this on me to bring it up, Michael Patrick Leahy, because Jeff Shepherd, there was a huge piece over the weekend, and it was linked by a bunch of sites that's saying what the refurbishment of Nixon, bringing Nixon's back, buffing up Nixon's image. | ||
| And it really got down to you and Jeff Shepard, your documentary, really the use of lawfare, which we said kind of, it was kind of the predicate laid down of what they used against President Trump. | ||
| It's absolutely extraordinary. | ||
| I want to give a hat tip for you for making the documentary, for Jeff Shepard for doing all the research and writing the books all those years. | ||
| Richard Nixon got railroaded. | ||
| And not by the way, you think, not by Woodward and Bernstein, not by any of the Hollywood thing you believe. | ||
| This was Judge Surica. | ||
| It was the Justice Department. | ||
| It was Maine Justice. | ||
| It was the House committees with those left-wing lawyers talking to each other, getting up on whiteboards and plotting out things they had never done. | ||
| They had meetings with the staff over at the judge's staff, things that were unheard of to railroad Richard Nixon out of his presidency. | ||
| And I really want to give you a hat tip, Michael Patrick Leahy, for going to law school at night. | ||
| The brother has a degree from Harvard College in Stanford Business School. | ||
| He's still going to, he's going to law school at night and now entrance by enthralled by Jeff Shepard's theory of the case of law affair against Richard Nixon, sir. | ||
| How the Deep State Took Down Richard Nixon. | ||
| That film is distributed by Warroom Film. | ||
| So go to warroom.film. | ||
| You can still see it there. | ||
| It's still for free. | ||
| And it's really, really good. | ||
| 90 minutes. | ||
| We make the case that it was, in fact, more than a dozen violations of the due process rights of Richard Nixon and the Watergate defendants that brought them down. | ||
| And it's very clear, a crooked judge, a crooked special prosecutor, and a loaded with Department of Justice under Kennedy and Johnson attorneys working for Archibald Cox and then Leon Jaworski that went in to take down Richard Nixon. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, good news out of Tennessee. | ||
| We have to run through the tape. | ||
| Everybody can hear my voice or see the image. | ||
| We got two and a half hours ago. | ||
| The polls are still open. | ||
| There's a lot of votes out there. | ||
| The Democrats are not going to lay down on this one, but people are turning out. | ||
| I think people are hearing the clarion call that we need to win this seat. | ||
| Let's put in back of us how exactly we got here from a 22-point victory with President Trump to where we are now. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| The only thing it matters is that there's no substitute for victory, and we have to win this one. | ||
| Leahy, how do people get to your show? | ||
| How do they get to your content? | ||
| How they get to your social media. | ||
| Go to Tennessee Star.com, Tennessee Star.com. | ||
| My show, the Michael Patrick Leahy Show, heard 9 a.m. Central to noon Central every weekday on the John Fredericks Radio Network here in Nashville, 7:60 a.m. WENO, and in 19 other radio stations owned by John Fredericks around the country. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Great job, sir. | ||
| Michael Patrick Leahy, very proud of you, and the folks down in Tennessee. | ||
| Run through the tape. | ||
| Run through the tape, Steve. | ||
| Run through the tape. | ||
| Run through the tape. | ||
| We can get Mad Van Epps up tonight. | ||
| We will too. | ||
| But he's busy running around as campaign headquarters and going out trying to drive the vote two and a half hours ago. | ||
| I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold. | ||
| You might have seen certain financial assets bouncing around here in the last couple of weeks. | ||
| Gold has been on a rise. | ||
| It's not the price of gold, it's the process of what's driving that rise, what's driving central banks to buy gold at record rates. | ||
| Why are the BRICS nations forming together to do bilateral trade deals to start this process called de-dollarization? | ||
| Why is the dollar the prime reserve currency? | ||
| Why does it have such a big impact in your life? | ||
| Ask those questions. | ||
| The answers all are in the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| We've worked through this over the last four years. | ||
| It's all free, seven free installments. | ||
| We are currently working on our eighth. | ||
| We're also working on a version of this, a material version of this, so you can get it, make notes. | ||
| Maybe even I'll sign it if you see me at some of these conventions or conferences sometimes. | ||
| End of the dollar empire, promo code. | ||
| It's Birch Gold promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire. | ||
| Read it, study it. | ||
| You'll understand why gold has been a hedge for, I don't know, 5,000 years of man's recorded history. | ||
| You'll start to understand it. | ||
| And you'll understand now why the biggest financial institutions in the world are looking at it as an asset like back in the 19th century, a financial asset and a hedge. | ||
| Check it all out. | ||
| Also, Tax Network USA. | ||
| Scott Bessett, you saw the cabinet meeting today. | ||
| We have a $2 trillion deficit. | ||
| We're going to have a $2 trillion deficit. | ||
| Even with the growth in the economy for the next couple of years, the IRS, they think you owe this, you think you owe that. | ||
| That's called the bid in the AST. | ||
| There's a gap. | ||
| Remember, they always went out unless you get some assistance. | ||

| Indiana State Senator Michael Bohachek is opposing redistricting, and Indiana's been an interesting place because the lawmakers there have not wanted to do this despite the president's push and despite the governor's push. | ||
| Here's what the state senator said about it. | ||
| This is a Facebook post. | ||
| Many of you have asked my position on redistricting. | ||
| I have been an unapologetic advocate for people with mental disabilities since the birth of my second daughter. | ||
| Those of you that don't know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down syndrome. | ||
| This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references, and his choices of words have consequences. | ||
| I will be voting no on redistricting. | ||
| Perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority. | ||
| He was talking about the president, by the way, using the R-word about Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. | ||
| But that last line, perhaps he can use the next 10 months to convince voters that his policies and behavior deserve a congressional majority. | ||
| That says a lot about at least one Republican who's looking at the landscape, Jake, and seeing the poll numbers and seeing the dissatisfaction. | ||
| The approval rating is in the gutter and saying, this is not on me to make it easier for you. | ||
| You should take a hard look at yourself. | ||
| You know, I was talking to somebody yesterday up here who made a really good point to me. | ||
| A lot of people are seeing the, are becoming aware, let's say, that Donald Trump's tenure will come to an end. | ||
| It's not going to be in 26 or 27. | ||
| It's going to be like 2028 is not very far away. | ||
| And the fact that Indiana, a state that Trump reminds people, he won many times. | ||
| He has sent JD Vance there twice to lobby people on these congressional maps. | ||
| He has called in to Republican caucus meetings in the state. | ||
| He has done everything he can. | ||
| He had Mike Johnson talk to them. | ||
| He has done everything he can to push Indiana to redraw this map. | ||
| And the state Senate is just not interested, whether it's this state senator who didn't like Trump's, and rightfully so thought the name calling of Tim Walz was inappropriate, or it's just people who are like, yeah, I don't think we should be redrawing the map to rig the election for Republicans. | ||
| Like, that is what this is. | ||
| And that's not like a, it's not, they have the power to do this, but they are doing this to get more Republican seats. | ||
| Like, they are getting rid of a Democratic seat in Indianapolis, a big city that has had Democratic representation for a long time. | ||
| The other seat, Frank Mervan, in the Gary area in the states, in the Chicago excerpts. | ||
| I mean, these are seats that are, they are Democratic, and they are redrawing the map to give themselves an advantage in 2026. | ||
| I love Jake Sherman and the Katie Tur. | ||
| And what are they now? | ||
| They're not MSNBC. | ||
| It's MSWow. | ||
| It's Sham Wow. | ||
| Over at Sham Wow, the new network, Katie Tur, they don't talk about 45% of folks in a 40 million person state in California, you're going to have four seats. | ||
| They want to have none, 52 to zero. | ||
| Paul Lagerman joins me from Heritage Action. | ||
| Paul, this is kind of your beat over at Heritage Action. | ||
| Tiffany Justice and the team over there tell me you're the absolute killer on this. | ||
| We just, despite MSNBC, we just had very good news come out of Indiana, and that is the committee, I think, voted eight to five to put forward a map that is 9-0. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you walk us through the process, sir? | |
| Absolutely. | ||
| So this began, you know, months ago. | ||
| The fact that we talk about this happening overnight in Indiana is absolutely incorrect. | ||
| This conversation has been ongoing for months, talking about redistricting, talking about these maps, talking about the inequity that we have in Indiana, where we have, you know, the 7-2 majority within our congressional delegation in a state that's deep red. | ||
| Every statewide elected official in the state is a Republican and has been for the last few cycles. | ||
| And we haven't had a Democrat here in quite some time. | ||
| The numbers just bear this out. | ||
| So today, what happened, the exciting part of today is this was the first actual legislative step. | ||
| The House came in early. | ||
| This is special session light in that it isn't the exact special session. | ||
| This is an early start to the actual session. | ||
| So the House came in. | ||
| The bill was introduced yesterday on the floor of the House. | ||
| Committee hearing lasted all day today. | ||
| I can say that Heritage Action, we were about the only folks that testified in favor of this bill. | ||
| And it was just person after person from about 9:30 in the morning till about 3 o'clock in the afternoon that didn't like to see it, that didn't want redistricting. | ||
| And as you said, the vote came out favorably in the committee. | ||
| Now it moves on to second reading. | ||
| Second reading will happen tomorrow. | ||
| On second reading in Indiana, there's the opportunity to amend the bill, to discuss the bill, to debate the bill. | ||
| This is sort of the big hit, right? | ||
| And you're going to see tomorrow just everything in the kitchen sink come at this bill in the form of amendments, trying to tear it apart, adding poison pills. | ||
| Those are all going to be defeated tomorrow because we know going into this that the House numbers are there. | ||
| The votes are there in the Republican caucus. | ||
| Remember, in Indiana, it's a 70-30 house, right? | ||
| Quite literally. | ||
| There's 100 members, 70 Republicans, 30 Democrats. | ||
| The House can conduct business without the Democrats showing up. | ||
| They don't have to worry about quorum or that sort of thing. | ||
| So tomorrow is the big day for all the amendments and then third reading on Friday at the same time as Turning Point. | ||
| We'll be hosting a very large rally in the state house right next door to the House of Representatives on one floor down. | ||
| So it's a big, beautiful granite building. | ||
| So you're going to hear this pro-redistricting echoing through the halls. | ||
| So it's going to be pretty exciting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Paul, you're Hoosier, correct? | |
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Born and raised. | ||
| I mean, this is a very, look, it's just, it turns out that the Hoosier state is very red. | ||
| It's been conservative a long time. | ||
| It's quite, it's MAGA. | ||
| There have been some of the Pence conservatives teaming up with the Democrats to do this. | ||
| But when you said you had witnesses all day, the Democrats, because they're very smart, they understand the fight's just simply not here in Indiana. | ||
| They need to send a message to their other troops because they're trying to force one in Virginia. | ||
| They're trying to force something in Maryland. | ||
| They think they got another bite at the apple in Illinois. | ||
| They're going to go full on to even gerrymander worse than they gerrymandered states like California and Illinois right now. | ||
| So it is imperative. | ||
| That's where this fight, this fight's not simply about an 8-1 map versus a 9-0 map. | ||
| It is about this is a war. | ||
| This redistricting sets the predicate for the 2026 election. | ||
| If Alison Gross had not come to War Room in 2021 and we got revved up with him and others, we would have never picked up those eight seats in 2021 that are really the balance of what's in the House today. | ||
| Do people that do the grassroots and the Republicans in Indiana understand the national importance and the national scale of this fight? | ||
| I think that is the real struggle that we're running into. | ||
| And it's not in the House. | ||
| It's in the Senate and in the Senate today, that's where we're seeing the pushback. | ||
| That's where the vote count is in difficult territory. | ||
| We have to move five more votes over to make sure that we can be successful in the Indiana Senate. | ||
| So in the Senate, the body's 50. | ||
| It's 40, 10 Democrats. | ||
| But you got to remember, you've got Republicans teaming up with Democrats to kill redistricting in the Indiana Senate. | ||
| So this is the real difficulty. | ||
| Now, a couple of weeks ago in what we call Organization Day, this is the day when the committees are assigned, when the rules are adopted, all the things for the upcoming session are happening. | ||
| An unscheduled vote occurred in the Senate, and that was to not do a special session and not deal with redistricting. | ||
| And it passed. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So now that was Democrats and Republicans, Republicans light, maybe, I guess we should say, teaming up to say we don't want to deal with the process. | ||
| Well, the House countered that. | ||
| And when Speaker Houston opened up this session early, he forced the issue. | ||
| And up until just a few days ago, the Senate was not ready to come back in. | ||
| The Senate has announced that they will be back in on the 8th. | ||
| So as this process concludes this week, the Senate will return and the Senate will have to deal with this issue, I think, in a meaningful way. | ||
| Now, what we've seen is an amazing amount of pressure from the grassroots, from the base of the, you know, the conservative base is, I guess, the best way to say this, across the state. | ||
| And so folks from every district are calling their legislator, the folks that they, you know, and in Indiana, it's a part-time legislature. | ||
| So they're not there all the time. | ||
| They have a real job at home for the most, you know, in most cases, unless they're retired, you know, or they're a teacher. | ||
| And so those folks come home, they see their constituents in the grocery store. | ||
| It's not like Congress. | ||
| There's not a barrier of staff. | ||
| There's not a lot of those people. | ||
| So they have been bombarded with calls and text messages, you know, and people stopping by their house and all their friends are really kind of hitting them up. | ||
| So we feel this momentum building. | ||
| We feel the momentum building for the vote. | ||
| We feel like we're in a good place. | ||
| We've seen a couple of folks break from a no to a yes. | ||
| And, you know, like I said, we still have five votes to go right now in the Senate. | ||
| And so I think this House pressure is really making a difference in a very positive way. | ||
| Paul, where do people go to get information on this at Heritage Action? | ||
| And what is your personal coordinates as far as your social media? | ||
| As you know, the Warren Posse wants to keep up to speed on this 24 hours a day. | ||
| Yeah, if you're right on top of this at Heritage Action, and that's where you're really all going to find kind of the war room moment-to-moment activity. | ||
| Keep an eye on our Heritage Action website. | ||
| Keep an eye on our Heritage Action socials. | ||
| That's where we're going to hit it. | ||
| It's going to be coming out pretty much on a daily basis. | ||
| You're going to see a lot more flying today. | ||
| And I happen to also be a locally elected official. | ||
| So, yeah. | ||
| So you'll see me here, you know, and you'll see me on Friday too. | ||
| We'll be speaking at the turning point event on behalf of Heritage. | ||
| And we're super excited about that. | ||
| So it is, I think it's going to, I think it's going to be terrific. | ||
| And you're going to see, you know, members from the congressional delegation represented there. | ||
| You know, I know at least our Senator Jim Banks, who has been just a stalwart conservative in the state. | ||
| I know he's going to have some folks on site there. | ||
| He's dealing with the defense budget. | ||
| So I don't know that he'll be able to be there in person, but it's going to be, I think, a really terrific thing. | ||
| Now, the one thing I do have to mention is the onslaught of folks today and the hits that we took, the questions that came from the Democrat side of the aisle were pretty intense. | ||
| And it was great. | ||
| Representative Ben Smaltz of Auburn, Indiana, handled it with grace and charisma. | ||
| He did a fantastic job of getting, you know, 70 or 80 of the same question repeatedly hit at him. | ||
| He didn't lose his temper. | ||
| He handled it very well. | ||
| And, you know, and just kept saying, look, this is a response to a political reality. | ||
| You know, and the Democrats kept saying, but Texas, but Texas. | ||
| And, you know, the reality is in Indiana that California made the move. | ||
| And if we don't respond, then, you know, we lose the house. | ||
| Up the escalatory ladder. | ||
| Paul Lagerman, a Hoosier. | ||
| Look forward to coming back to you, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||

| The floor is yours, sir. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you, the president can interrupt me anytime because what he did this morning, you guys, I want you all to check it out. | ||
| He did a shout-out, we'll call it a truth out this morning. | ||
| If you check out his truth feed there on his truth, he's got he shouted out to Dallas County for going to voting in to go into paper ballots, hand counted, and all these other counties in Texas that are following suit. | ||
| And he called out the governors to go to paper ballots, hand counted. | ||
| I was so excited, Steve. | ||
| I'm going so he can interrupt me anytime, but uh, this is what we need to do. | ||
| Mike, let me toss in there. | ||
| Melissa Katz and so many of the War Room Posse members down there have worked on this, right? | ||
| I mean, non-stop for the Senate for the president to give a shout out that made their day so many patriots down there. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
|

| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| And they're in Kern County. | ||
| There's so many counties now that there's at least five that I know of. | ||
| And the president, I talked to him about it. | ||
| He's very excited and he's putting it out there. | ||
| People got to know about it. | ||

| You, I am now shocked, and I've known you forever and you know, five or six years, seven years, Royce White forever. | ||
| I think people are shocked now about what they're finding out about Minnesota. | ||
| The corruption of this democratic machine and with the Somalians, the theft, the money laundering, the fraud. | ||
| I mean, this thing is going to get bad. | ||
| I see Waltz and Ellison and this entire crowd. | ||
| Omar, I'm telling you, President Trump's got to send a task force out there from the Justice Department right now. | ||
| There should be people in prison. | ||
| Absolutely, Steve. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| It's horrific. | ||
| We've lived it. | ||
| I'm glad everybody in the country can see what we've had to live there, how they've been destroying Minnesota. | ||
| And I'm going to tell you, you go downtown Minneapolis, and it's just like when I went downtown Chicago, all the minorities, you know, the blacks and Hispanics, they are so upset, the ones that are here legally, that all their resources are being taken by people that are here illegally. | ||
| And then you have what's happening in Minnesota, all the billions of dollars stole right from our taxpayers, Steve. | ||
| It's horrific. | ||
| Waltz is probably, I put him now, probably the worst governor in history. | ||
| I don't think there's a worse one. | ||
| And Keith Ellison, worst attorney general in history. | ||
| He is attacking, by the way, Keith Ellison, the Lindell Recovery Network. | ||
| Obviously, they don't like, believe me, they all have one thing in common. | ||
| They don't like Christians, Christian churches. | ||
| They like ringing the call to prayer downtown with the mosque downtown Minneapolis. | ||
| Terrible, Steve. | ||
| Mike Lindell, your patron and hero. | ||
| We're going to spend more time. | ||
| This situation in Minnesota is unfreaking believable. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Joe Allen's with us in studio, and we're going to go to the great state of Texas. | ||
| Big victory down there. | ||
| Brian Harrison and the team. | ||
| Short commercial break. |
