| The Supreme Court cleared the way for Texas to redraw its congressional maps to add probable Republican seats. | ||
| A lower court had ruled that the map was unconstitutional because it discriminates on the basis of race. | ||
| The White House has been pushing national efforts to change districts in favor of Republicans as Republicans face serious headwinds heading up to the midterms in November. | ||
|

|
Are Democrats in big trouble because of what they're seeing come out of the Supreme Court in this case with Texas when you have other states, including Indiana, who's right now looking at redistricting, trying to push the chances for a Democrat to be put in office to the side? | |
| Well, you know, right now the count looks like it's going to be up for Republicans. | ||
| Republicans are going to hand themselves more seats in an unprecedented kind of mid-decade realignment. | ||
| But that's not the worst. | ||
| I mean, that's bad for Democrats. | ||
| What's happening is actually bad for America. | ||
| It used to be if you wanted to figure out what will the Supreme Court do, you'd say, what does a case law say? | ||
| What is a legal precedent? | ||
| What does a precedent say? | ||
| Now is what does the president say? | ||
| What does Trump say? | ||
| You're in a different country when the Supreme Court is basically just straining itself to do whatever the president says, not what the precedent says. | ||
| It's bad for Democrats. | ||
| It's bad for the country. | ||
| I can tell you this as well, John. | ||
| I know a lot of the people who are in the West Wing, a lot of them worked on the president's campaign. | ||
| They are political bloodhounds. | ||
| And this idea of redrawing the congressional maps in Texas, but also across the country, is core to their strategy of trying to be successful in next year's elections. | ||
| But let's get to this case specifically, because Texas is really core to this push that we've seen from this administration and Republicans at large. | ||
| And had Texas been blocked from using its map, it basically would have upended this entire strategy we're seeing the president and this administration try and deploy. | ||
| Now, the Supreme Court decision essentially blocks, at least for now, we should note, a lower court ruling that found that the new maps were likely unconstitutional, racial gerrymandering. | ||
| And this order comes just days before a December 8 deadline for Texas candidates to file. | ||
| So this is actually a very interesting timing for all of this, this decision landing when it did. | ||
| Now, in order for the, in an order from the court, the majority wrote the majority opinion here that the trial court had, quote, improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal state balance in elections. | ||
| Now, one thing when I was just going through all of this that I found interesting is that the court's majority actually didn't sign it, but we did see in a concurrence opinion from Justice Samuel Alito, of course, one of the conservative justices, that two others joined him on that as well, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, also both justices. | ||
| But look, one thing very clear as well is that this could continue to be litigated in the lower courts, but this decision and the timing of it essentially means that this is going to be the map in 2026. | ||
| And so keep that as mind. | ||
| A huge win, though, for this White House and Republicans, John. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on this people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot at 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. | ||

Warroom. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It's Friday, 5 December, the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Welcome to the Friday edition of the War Room. | ||
| We're going to go immediately to the architect of this victory in Texas, the Attorney General of the state of Texas, Ken Paxton. | ||
| General Paxton, can you get us up to speed on everything pertinent to what happened over the last 24 hours in the Supreme Court? | ||
| Yes, it was a great Christmas gift for the state of Texas and for the country, getting the Supreme Court to stop a stay put in place by lower court, which was a three-judge panel that had stopped our current maps from going into place at a very odd time. | ||
| We're in the middle of filings, and their filing in Texas goes from November 8th through December 8th. | ||
| So literally, last minute throws us into chaos because when they stopped our current maps from being in place, everybody's filed under those current maps. | ||
| It left us just upended with no real plan for how our primaries were going forward. | ||
| That's one of the problems. | ||
| And so we asked the U.S. Supreme Court, we appealed directly to them very quickly after that ruling within a couple of days and asked them to put a stay on the lower court's ruling so that we could continue with our primaries as we had planned. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And then we got that ruling yesterday. | |
| So it was a big win. | ||
| If we had lost, it would have thrown our plans for redistricting out, and we wouldn't have had a chance at the Republican seats, and it would have thrown our primaries into chaos. | ||
| This is not final, but since they've allowed the filings to go on and the primaries to go on, does it mean in 26 this will be the map? | ||
| This is the map for 26. | ||
| There's virtually no way for that not to be true now. | ||
| The case is ongoing as it relates to the merits of the case. | ||
| This was all procedural, but it's definitely a good sign for us. | ||
| We'll have an argument probably in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, I would guess, next fall for the maps for 28 and 30. | ||
| But certainly a good sign that the court granted our injunction and allowed us to go forward with the maps in this case. | ||
| General Paxon, fantastic win. | ||
| Last question. | ||
| A bunch of polls out of the last couple of days. | ||
| Two-way race in the primary for the U.S. Senate in Texas, three-way race. | ||
| You're leading both. | ||
| It looks like leading with a pretty good margin. | ||
| What say you about that? | ||
| Yeah, look, I've been out campaigning since April 8th. | ||
| I've been saying no one in Texas has ever served five terms in the U.S. Senate, not Sam Houston, not LBJ, not John Tower, not Phil Graham. | ||
| And this guy's been in office for over 40 years. | ||
| As long as, I mean, I was in college when he got into office. | ||
| And what I have been asking the voters of Texas is, has he accomplished anything, anything, name it, one thing for the state of Texas in the last four decades? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the answer is, I've never gotten an answer from anybody that notes any notable accomplishment. | |
| All we hear is, you know, he worked with Biden to limit Second Amendment rights. | ||
| He opposed Trump on his border wall. | ||
| He voted for amnesty 15, 16 times. | ||
| And he fought Trump being reelected. | ||
| But because he's got all this money from Washington, he's advertising like he's Donald Trump's best friend, and he's being dishonest with the voters. | ||
| But we're going to win. | ||
| Attorney General Paxton, where do people go to find out more about your campaign and where they go to follow this evolving situation in the redistricting fight in Texas? | ||
| At Ken Paxton TX and then kenpaxton.com. | ||
| General Paxton, thank you for taking time away on a busy Friday to join us here in the worm kick things off. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Big win down to Texas. | ||
| Brian Harrison is going to join us later. | ||
| John Solomon up in a moment. | ||
| I've got Dave Bossi. | ||
| Think Dave Bossi from an airport before he gets on a plane. | ||
| Dave Bossi, can you hear me, sir? | ||
| I can, Steve. | ||
| Thanks for having me back this morning. | ||
| What a big win in the Supreme Court overnight. | ||
| So, Dave, a reason I want to get you on this reditioning, as you and I talked yesterday in a series of meetings, this reditioning fight is everything right now. | ||
| You're, I think, chairman of Maryland. | ||
| You got Wes Moore is going to come and take a seat. | ||
| You got this radical thing in Virginia, my beloved Commonwealth, to go 10 to 1. | ||
| We just had a big win in Texas, but we're in Indiana, Indianapolis today. | ||
| I think John Fredericks has got the bus. | ||
| Turning point's about to do a huge rally. | ||
| Talk to me about how important this reditioning fight is and how important it is for MAGA. | ||
| If you want to have President Trump's back, this is the fight we got to win now, sir. | ||
| Peeve, you couldn't be more right. | ||
| This is the fight of our lifetime. | ||
| If we do not win these cases, so we have to fight in two different ways. | ||
| One, we have to fight like they are in Texas, like they are in Indiana, to redistrict to get, because we all know that the election was stolen. | ||
| We know that it was a bad census. | ||
| It was a fraud in 2020. | ||
| And we're going to, we're educating the American people and we're going to win at the Supreme Court on these cases on offense to get better representation. | ||
| However, we also, Steve, have to fight in California, in New York, in Illinois, in all of these left-wing states where they are trying to steal seats. | ||
| And that includes Maryland. | ||
| Maryland only has one Republican member of Congress. | ||
| That's Andy Harris, chairman of the Freedom Caucus, and they are targeting him because they want Maryland, in a fair map, that's what Wes Moore says, to go 8-0 because 7-1 isn't fair. | ||
| So they want the left is on a mission. | ||
| They all, if they're going to be a national leader on the Democrat Party side, they have to fight Donald Trump at every turn. | ||
| They have to be seen as fighting Donald Trump at every turn, whether it's a rational legal argument or not. | ||
| They have to fight him. | ||
| And so this is the fight of our generation to make sure that we keep the House of Representatives and that we have to win in November. | ||
| And that includes the Senate leadership, the House leadership. | ||
| We have fights well beyond this on a legislative front that only by engaging in Donald Trump's agenda and passing it are we going to be able to keep the House and Senate in order. | ||
| So every one of these fights is important. | ||
| You got Pritzker in Illinois. | ||
| You got Spamberger in the Commonwealth of Virginia. | ||
| You got Westmore in Maryland. | ||
| You got Newsome in California. | ||
| Everyone has presidential aspirations. | ||
| That's where they're doing. | ||
| I'm sure the Democrats will win. | ||
| But you just brought up another point. | ||
| And since you brought it up, leadership in the Senate. | ||
| President Trump has been adamant. | ||
| He needs the filibuster change, at least worked around. | ||
| You had a magnificent piece the other day. | ||
| I think in the Washington Times or Examiner, our daily caller talked about this. | ||
| John Thune, is John Thune getting to be a problem for President Trump and his legislative agenda, and most importantly, holding the Senate in the House in 26? | ||
| Steve, I really, I cannot see any other way to put it. | ||
| John Thune is not engaged on President Trump's agenda. | ||
| He doesn't seem to have the backbone for the fights that are necessary. | ||
| Look, in a normal world, John Thune is a perfectly fine leader, okay, in a normal time. | ||
| We are not in a normal time. | ||
| We are at the war for the future of this country, and we have to have grit and determination and the leaders that are willing to fight. | ||
| And the filibuster is the number one thing that is stopping President Trump's agenda getting through the Senate. | ||
| We have to deal with it. | ||
| We don't have the votes. | ||
| And I think a lot of conservatives recognize we don't have the votes to stop the filibuster. | ||
| We can't nuke the filibuster because we have Tillis and Rand Paul and McConnell and Collins and Murkowski. | ||
| We're not going to get the votes. | ||
| But we certainly can go use the Senate rules to our benefit and fight through the filibuster and force the Democrats to vote. | ||
| It just takes a different kind of leadership, strong leadership that is going to fight for the America first agenda. | ||
| And I just don't see John Thune doing it. | ||
| Hold it. | ||
| You're saying in normal times, Thune's fine, but we're at war. | ||
| This is political warfare. | ||
| Are you calling for the folks in the sense that you can't get to 51 to change your filibuster? | ||
| Are you saying it's time to make a change in Senate leadership? | ||
| Well, Steve, I certainly am saying that we need to consider that. | ||
| If John Thune is not willing to do what the will of the American people is, then he ought not be leader. | ||
| And if he is willing to, let's get to the fights. | ||
| Let's get to it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We are losing time. | ||
| If we do not prove to the American people that we deserve to be in charge of the House and the Senate and the White House and get through it, the legislative agenda that swept Donald Trump back into office in his historic second term, what are we doing? | ||
| We're going to get flushed down the toilet in November. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to lose everything. | |
| You're very close to President Trump. | ||
| This situation with the filibuster in a sense, a very high priority for him. | ||
| He's said a number of times to, I think, a bunch of us that he's got a legislative agenda that's got to get through and it's got to get through in the first six months of next year. | ||
| Am I correct in that? | ||
| Look, he is locked on to defeating and getting around this filibuster. | ||
| He knows. | ||
| He knows. | ||
| And he tells everyone who will listen: if we do not get by this filibuster, figure out a way to get our legislative agenda through the United States Senate, we're going to get swept out and he's going to be impeached again. | ||
| First thing they do. | ||
| Dave, what's your social media? | ||
| People want to follow you. | ||
| Yep. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And by the way, Steve, they're going to get rid of the filibuster as soon as they're in charge. | ||
| Let's not kick it. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Democrats. | ||
| He knows that, President Trump. | ||
| What's your social media and where do they go for your daily caller op-eds? | ||
| Yeah, go to David underscore Bossi at X and Getter. | ||
| And Truth Social. | ||
| Please follow us. | ||
| Fight the good fight, Dave. | ||

| Mark Brian Cole Jr. is going to be in federal court this afternoon. | ||
| What are we expecting? | ||
| Well, cameras are not allowed in federal court, but we'll have a team inside. | ||
| They're going to give us this step-by-step. | ||
| Cole Jr. will face a judge. | ||
| There's going to be a formal reading of the charges. | ||
| An attorney will be assigned to him if he needs an attorney. | ||
| He's also going to face those charges of leaving the pipe bombs outside the RNC, DNC on January 5th, 2021. | ||
| It's expected, Ana, this will be a quick proceeding. | ||
| The judge will then decide, does he set bail or will he be remanded into custody? | ||
| We're going to find out in just a few hours. | ||
| You've expressed caution to us about that, that you really can't draw any conclusions at this point. | ||
| One person familiar with the manner told us we just don't know what the drivers are at this point. | ||
| But there is some concern about his mental health, about his mental state, about his antisocial tendencies. | ||
| That could end up looming larger than any particular ideological motive in this case, Ana. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What kind of evidence was in that affidavit that connects him directly to this crime? | |
| So they had multiple, right? | ||
| They had the geolocation data. | ||
| That was from the suspect's phone. | ||
| They had surveillance footage. | ||
| They compared that data. | ||
| They were able to triangulate that. | ||
| They had credit card receipts, purchases made by the suspect. | ||
| So they had him sort of the planning, if you allegedly the planning, the sort of procedure of putting that together. | ||
| And then the placement. | ||
| They also had that LPR, that license plate reader that hits Anna on the vehicle. | ||
| They will put that together, put that in the side. | ||
| But the big question is, what took the FBI so long? | ||
| You heard Director Patel said they've been sitting on that. | ||
| The prior administration had been sitting on that for four years. | ||
| And that's a big question that law enforcement wants answers. | ||
| John Solomon, you had a called shot on this show, I think, the day before Thanksgiving, or you said, hey, there was going to be arrests. | ||
| You actually picked it to happen these last couple of days. | ||
| Brother, you've been doing this, I don't know, 30, 40 years. | ||
| I don't get this one. | ||
| Dan Bongino is a former cop, former Secret Service. | ||
| He's a smart guy. | ||
| He's a great guy. | ||
| We're so glad he stuck around and didn't punch out as deputy FBI cash is our guys, you know. | ||
| And look, what they did is magnificent. | ||
| But, brother, I do not understand when you go through some of the basic stuff they're talking about as evidence that are going to be presented today. | ||
| What happened for five years, sir? | ||
| Yeah, well, listen, I thought Kash Patel said it best on the top of our show last night. | ||
| There's only two explanations for why the Ray FBI didn't solve this case, either gross negligence or complete incompetence. | ||
| And he said neither one is a good standard for the FBI going forward. | ||
| It won't be tolerated going forward. | ||
| They put a new team on this, as we talked about yesterday, like six, seven weeks ago. | ||
| Very quickly, they're able to sew together the license plate reader, the phone tracking, and then the purchase receipts. | ||
| They then put a surveillance team on this guy because they're not going to be the FBI that tells you, oh, he committed another crime and we had him on our radar, but we didn't catch him. | ||
| So they start surveilling him to make sure he doesn't create any more attacks. | ||
| And they keep watching him until they build the case into it's just so rock solid they can roll him up. | ||
| And they have a lot of information by the time they roll him up. | ||
| His height is the height of the pipe bomber that they estimated in the videotape. | ||
| His phone matches the track exactly, including the stop that we reported a couple of weeks ago at the Congressional Black Caucus building on the way there. | ||
| He has multiple purchases of pipe bomb making materials going all the way back to 2019 and even into 2021. | ||
| And that's a very important point. | ||
| Kash Patel said last night that they are now investigating whether because he was buying material for a long period of time, was he creating pipe bombs for other techs? | ||
| Did he have other plots? | ||
| Did he have other conspirators? | ||
| They're going to look at that. | ||
| And then the last thing that Kash Patel told us is we're going to do a behavioral analysis. | ||
| We're going to have a profiler look at this young man. | ||
| He's slight. | ||
| By all accounts, he was withdrawn and socially awkward. | ||
| He works for a father whose bail bonds business was involved in helping illegal immigrants. | ||
| He works for, he lives with his mother. | ||
| Who is this man? | ||
| What drove him? | ||
| Is it ideological? | ||
| Is it illness? | ||
| Those are all things that the FBI is going to get to pretty quickly. | ||
| But the answer that why the Ray team didn't solve this earlier with the evidence that was so obviously easy to put together, it's either gross negligence or complete incompetence. | ||
| And as Kash Patel said, that's not going to be a standard for the FBI going forward. | ||
| Yeah, but it could also be they didn't want to do it. | ||
| I mean, they consciously made a decision. | ||
| Narrative building. | ||
| Here's the reason. | ||
| If you had had these guys, if you'd had this guy identified in the first 48, 72 hours, the entire narrative on J601 was a different direction. | ||
| This was the one that, and this is why Darren Beattie and Raheem Kassam, yourself, Julie Kelly, so many people for so many years have focused on this, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Listen, I think when history looks back at the era of James Comey and Chris Ray, what you're going to see is you had an FBI that followed narrative leads, not evidentiary leads. | ||
| And I think that that's a really important thing. | ||
| Now, did they find Cole and say, oh, we can't look at this guy, black guy, not a MAGA guy, we're not going to look at him. | ||
| Or because they weren't even looking for that type of suspect, did they just dismiss the evidence trail that was there? | ||
| I think that that is a really significant issue. | ||
| And I think that the truth of the matter is my dad was a very successful cop for 47 years, was to be the chief inspector in Connecticut. | ||
| He solved hundreds of murders and he had this rule: never lock into a storyline. | ||
| Just follow the evidence. | ||
| Don't develop a story. | ||
| Follow the evidence. | ||
| The second you start developing narratives, and you know the bosses want that narrative, you start to not look at things that might be the true evidence that leads you to the crime. | ||
| And I think the FBI of the last decade, before Cash and Dan got their hands on it, they were narrative builders. | ||
| They were more interested in following the media narrative, the narrative of their bosses, the narrative of the Rhino establishment in Washington. | ||
| And therefore, things that didn't fit got thrown up. | ||
| That's why they missed all the warning signs that they were on a false track on Russia. | ||
| It's why they missed so many of the other big arrests of the last decade, why you always find out after the fact they had someone on their radar. | ||
| I think there's something very important to be watching in the next couple of days. | ||
| I think the FBI is about to provide some new evidence to Congress about what those FBI informants, those people that were on the ground on the 6th of January in the crowd, what they were tracking in the weeks before. | ||
| And I think one of the things that we should find out is whether some of those informants were warning the FBI about people with potential left ideologies also having bad intentions on January 6th. | ||
| That would be another piece of the narrative that would have been buried because it didn't fit the storyline. | ||
| Look, you're also quite like Paxson and Bossi before you're very close to the president. | ||
| We're going to have the grand jury on the conspiracy, the biggest conspiracy in the history of the country, the U.S. prosecutor, and that's going to take care of that. | ||
| But we also have an institutional problem we have to deal with. | ||
| And I don't think it's being dealt with because people are so busy kind of doing these things. | ||
| Your advice to the president, institutionally, the FBI, DOJ, and the CIA, what we refer to as the front line of the deep state. | ||
| Comer, you can't do this congressional investigation. | ||
| What is your recommendation? | ||
| If we want to break the deep state, what do we got to do starting with the FBI? | ||
| Listen, Cash said at the end of the show yesterday, I'm going to write a whole story about this tomorrow, that there is a criminal investigation of the FBI agents and players who are involved in Arctic frosts, all the way up to and including those who might have been trying to destroy the evidence in the four or five days before Donald Trump took evidence. | ||
| By the way, that's an easy story for Americans to do. | ||
| It's the Richard Nixon 19-minute gap tape, right? | ||
| You bring those, you walk those guys in handcuffs before the American people. | ||
| Every agent downstream knows they ain't going to take that risk going forward. | ||
| You need one significant slam-dunk, hard-hitting case that makes an example. | ||
| And by the way, I think there's 10 or 20 cases to be made, not just on Arctic Frost, but in other issues. | ||
| You just get a half dozen, a dozen. | ||
| Created a decade or two of deterrence. | ||
| Because the fact of the matter is, the majority of FBI agents want to be doing what Kash Patel and Dan Bongino just did yesterday. | ||
| They just want to slap handcuffs on bad guys and stop crimes. | ||
| That's what they want to do. | ||
| Now, you get caught up in the hysteria of your bosses and you start doing bad things, but a couple deterrent cases would have the most profound effect. | ||
| It'll be far more effective than 100 letters from House Judiciary or 300 hearings in Congress or another special counsel report. | ||
| Put a few people with handcuffs, get them convicted, put him in prison. | ||
| People aren't going to cheat in law enforcement and intelligence anymore. | ||
| Before I let you go, your blockbuster scoop yesterday on the dark money is coming from the likes of the Reid Hoffman support. | ||
| I mean, the real Trump haters. | ||
| And people have to understand they're funding all this Trump hate. | ||
| They're funding all of this opposition, the redistricting. | ||
| All this has got their, these guys have their hands in everything. | ||
| Any updates on that? | ||
| Because that has got to be, we've got to put it into that. | ||
| And we've got to expose these people and we've got to start charging these people. | ||
| Yeah, institutionally, the Justice Department is starting to dry up some of this money. | ||
| You know, one of the things, a lot of money comes from universities, right? | ||
| They get research money, they put it back into the system. | ||
| Those researchers end up paying lots of big donations to the Democrats. | ||
| I think academics are like 80, 90% likely to donate Democrat. | ||
| Half a billion dollars has been taken from universities and settlements in the last few months. | ||
| That is a historic amount of money being drained out of one of the leftist institutions in America. | ||
| You got 26 voter rolls that haven't been cleaned up in a long time that are being forcibly cleaned up because of the great work of Harmee Dillon and Pam Bondi. | ||
| And then I think the IRS and FBI are going to roll up a whole bunch of nonprofits that are not doing nonprofit work. | ||
| They're doing political work by taking tax exemptions. | ||
| You could see a significant drying up of the one advantage Democrats have. | ||
| They don't have the advantage of policies that are aligned with the American people, but man, do they have cash? | ||
| They got so much cash. | ||
| A lot of it comes from government. | ||
| I think Donald Trump, without a lot of people noticing it, his team is drying up the left cash, particularly the nonprofit money, the university money. | ||
| It's something that could have a significant effect, particularly when paired with the redistricting and the voter rolls cleanup. | ||
| There may be a more fair election in 26 because a lot of old issues have been cleaned up. | ||
| Pam Bonnie's also talking about going after the extremist groups with the IRS, Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| You better take a lesson there. | ||
| John, watch out, John. | ||
| Where do people go to get you? | ||
| Yeah, John, Jay Solomon reports on social media, just the news.com. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| So Philip Patrick will be on with us hopefully about 11:30. | ||
| The president is going to be over at the Kennedy Center for the FIFA FIFA. | ||
| I think it's the drawing. | ||
| He's going to be hosting that. | ||
| We're going to go. | ||
| That's going to be about 11:40, 11:45. | ||
| May run late, maybe during the Charlie Kirk show at noon. | ||
| The president will be at the Kennedy Center. | ||
| So we'll go check that out. | ||
| This is unbelievable. | ||
| I just don't believe Chris Ray. | ||
| No, because the narrative wouldn't have been totally completely different. | ||
| If you had had a BLM associated, if you had had some anarchist, some radical, some left-winger as the pipe bomber, and this is why people wrote Raheem and Darren Beattie and Julie Kelly years ago, for those who have been with the show over a number of years, particularly in January of 2021, you know what a big deal this was. | ||
| The whole narrative would have been changed. | ||
| You wouldn't have had the prime time J6 committee, which was totally phony. | ||
| You wouldn't have had any of that. | ||
| So you can't tell me, Chris Ray and these guys, as great as Bongino and Cash are, you know, putting new eyes on it seven weeks ago and come up with an arrest already when he had the entire FBI, it just doesn't, it doesn't hold. | ||
| It shows you how corrupt that institution is. | ||
| And I appreciate John Solomon, but I just think that we got to go in there with a meat ax and just start taking the thing apart. | ||
| You know, there ought to be some federal law enforcement, but there's a need to be in the FBI. | ||
| I wanted us to take the whole thing down and restructure, give the counterterrorism and counterintel piece to DHS, to the Joe Kenton that people do it there anyway, although that's foreign, just add a domestic element to it, and then just hive it off from the FBI and have, you know, a law, some in law enforcement associate with U.S. attorneys. | ||
| I don't think the FBI can be reformed. | ||
| And I don't think you can do it. | ||
| It's not about personnel. | ||
| I just don't believe that. | ||
| I think institutionally it's too corrupt. | ||
| We've got to get to the bottom of this thing. | ||
| Because so much of the agony of J6 and people going to prison and all the, you know, the thousand people they destroyed their lives and hounded President Trump. | ||
| That entire thing would have never happened if you had identified this guy in the first 48 hours. | ||
| Of course they're not going to do it because it would totally flip the narrative. | ||
| And now John Salma says in the next, I guess early next week, we're going to hear about the FBI agents that were there that were warning about Antifa and other people. | ||
| It would also be a narrative changer for them. | ||
| Got to get to Bombay. | ||
| Also, the national strategy paper from the White House is out. | ||
| It's 26 pages long. | ||
| I want to make sure Grace and Mo get it to everybody. | ||
| We're going to have probably tomorrow, I'll have Captain Finnell, hopefully Dr. Thayer, Jack Dosovic, a bunch of us will go through it. | ||
| It's quite, quite, in fact, I'm going to ask Liz Truss about it. | ||
| It talks about the fall of European civilization. | ||
| And quite frankly, the countries in Europe as they exist today may not exist in 30 years. | ||
| That's pretty important coming from an American strategy paper. | ||
| As they talk about NATO and our alliances, all of it. | ||
| It's pretty shocking. | ||
| Some of the topics in this strategy paper put out officially by the White House. | ||
| President Trump's strategy is pretty strong. | ||
| Also gets back and talks about the American worker as a key to national security, which I think is fantastic. | ||
| Stan Woodward joins us from Dallas, Dallas County. | ||
| Stan, I want to talk about the revolutionary, what you guys have come up with. | ||
| Now, the clock's ticking. | ||
| I think you got an extension because of such an outpouring last night from the Warren Posse and others that saw the broadcast. | ||
| What exactly are you guys trying to accomplish and what do you need to accomplish it, sir? | ||
| Yeah, thanks, Steve. | ||
| The war room showed up. | ||
| I mean, I think you gave us two minutes and it turned into four or five hours of great activity. | ||
| So the South Texas contingent showed up. | ||
| We've got people from all over Long Island, San Antonio, Dallas, everywhere. | ||
| So can't think enough. | ||
| So what do we need to do? | ||
| We've got a very short amount of time. | ||
| We did close the gap quite a bit. | ||
| We've got about $50,000 left to go. | ||
| And really today, that needs to come in. | ||
| Dallasgop.org slash handcuff is the URL. | ||
| There's a signup page on there, and right next to it is a donation button. | ||
| Those are restricted accounts just for the hand count. | ||
| We've got a great team on this. | ||
| Again, our chair has been amazing and supporting us through this, Colonel Allen West and the whole team. | ||
| And we're excited. | ||
| So we're almost there and we've got a lot of work left to do. | ||
| But super helpful. | ||
| And thanks for having me on here. | ||
| But essentially, we're trying to stand up the largest hand count during the primary in March in the U.S. in an urban county. | ||
| A lot of smaller counties are doing this, but this would be a large urban county, around 70,000 ballots, 3,300 counters. | ||
| We'll need judges. | ||
| The fun thing about judging is you don't have to deal with the machines. | ||
| So a lot less friction. | ||
| So we need judges. | ||
| We need alternate judges and clerks. | ||
| And it'll be quite a deal. | ||
| And again, the war room is showing up and we need your support and quickly. | ||
| Do you believe if we have a successful hand count of paper ballots in the primary March, that this will spread to the rest of Texas and we'll have the jewel in the crown will be doing paper ballots hand counted, sir? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| What it shows is how you can implement it at scale. | ||
| Smaller and medium-sized counties are already looking to do this. | ||
| There's a lot of friction, a lot of pushback. | ||
| But what I said yesterday, I'd say again, the consistency of how everybody is getting along, how we're trading best practices. | ||
| You know, we were on Steve Stern's the other day, and, you know, for the first time ever, I'm listening to a lot of the folks talking about, you know, election integrity on it. | ||
| And everybody's really singing off the same sheet of music. | ||
| So we're definitely going to prove that. | ||
| And these smaller and mid-sized counties are already proving it. | ||
| So yes, the answer is absolutely this will kind of pave the way for scale and putting it in other places. | ||
| Last time, where do people go to make contact with you guys? | ||
| Either donation or to volunteer to be a counter or a judge or whatever. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dallasgop.org slash hand count. | ||
| Dallasgop.org slash hand counts. | ||
| Real simple. | ||
| And right in the middle of the page, you can sign up and then we'll figure out where we need you to go as we get into this. | ||
| And then there's a donation button that goes to restricted accounts just for the hand count. | ||
| And so I think we've got it set up right. | ||
| It's easy. | ||
| It's right there for you. | ||
| And again, can't thank you all enough because it's made a huge difference yesterday and I know it will today. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Everybody pile in there, particularly everybody around the country that's been for hand counted game day, game day count, paper ballots. | ||
| It's the holy grail. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| And support those folks, Melissa Katz and those great folks down in Dallas County. | ||
| Brian Harrison, so much activity out of the great state of Texas. | ||
| I mean, it's just incredible, kind of a sea change of grassroots, of people engaged, et cetera. | ||
| But first, you know, none of this would happen if it was not for Glenn Story, the team at Patriot Mobile, their political, you know, their activist organization, yourself, that studio down there, just getting together. | ||
| You kind of conceived this a couple of months ago that we had to do it on a special session. | ||
| And next thing you know, not only we get it done, at least with five votes, you've changed the totally, you've changed the total dynamic in the country. | ||
| But now to have the Supreme Court weigh in, and of course, our beloved paper of record, the New York Times, puts it as the lead story, left-hand column. | ||
| Justices allow new Texas maps that favor GOP set for 2026 election. | ||
| Ruling hands a victory to norm-shattering redistricting effort. | ||
| Norm shattering after New England is 25-0. | ||
| Illinois is what, 17-3. | ||
| Virginia is about to go 10-1. | ||
| California is 48-4. | ||
| But you, sir, and the people at Patriot Mobile, all the grassroots activists down there, you are norm-shattering, sir. | ||
| You know, Steve, I love coming on your show, but I do often get upset with you because you usually bring me on by forcing me to listen to five minutes of MSNBC or reading from the New York Times. | ||
| But I guess in this instance, I'm not too upset about that because the New York Times, I can just feel the seething hate from the reporters as they had to write that headline. | ||
| It's exactly right. | ||
| It's a big victory for the people of Texas and the people, the patriots across the country. | ||
| And you listed a lot of people that deserve credit and thanks in this effort. | ||
| But I got to thank you and the posse. | ||
| I absolutely believe if it wasn't for the prairie fire that you and the posse lit under the rhino establishment down here in the state of Texas, we never would have got even the five seats. | ||
| Now, you and everybody watching those, we probably should have gone bigger and got more, but we got the five. | ||
| That is a good thing. | ||
| And especially if this three-judge panel that struck down those maps had been allowed to stay. | ||
| And if California Prop 50 had happened, we were talking about a 10-seat flip for the Democrats. | ||
| So the stakes were absolutely huge. | ||
| This was a Herculean effort. | ||
| And it looks like we're going to have some success payoff as we head into next year. | ||
| So it's a victory coming out of the Supreme Court. | ||
| And there's just no way around it. | ||
| And on this norm-shattering thing, real quick, here's the dirty little secret that the Democrats and the national establishment media like the New York Times don't want you to know. | ||
| They have no problem. | ||
| I'm going to be really clear about this. | ||
| The Democrats and the media have no problem whatsoever with states redrawing their maps to maximize partisan political advantage. | ||
| They're just angry that Republican states are finally doing what Democrat state after leftist Democrat state has been doing for five years, 10 years, 15 years, all across the country. | ||
| Texas was late to the game, but we finally got something done. | ||
| We're putting some points on the board. | ||
| And yeah, it's pissing off the Democrats and the media. | ||
| Brian, we're going to go John Fredericks at the Turning Point Rally at noon in Indiana in the state capitol in Indianapolis. | ||
| What is your message? | ||
| Is what happened in Texas transferable to Kansas and Nebraska and Indiana, Missouri, Ohio? | ||
| There's a bunch of other potential seats on the table that we could get, but it takes in Florida. | ||
| We understand things are going to happen. | ||
| But is there a lesson for the political class to take from the grassroots efforts in Texas that can go nationwide? | ||
| It's a great question. | ||
| I think the biggest lesson coming out of Texas is to my colleagues, okay, my comrades and patriots in arms in state legislative roles in Republican states across the country. | ||
| Take it from somebody who was on the front lines down here in Texas. | ||
| Ignore the noise and be bold. | ||
| Okay, the liberals, the media, they're going to run the same playbook, whether you add one seat or whether you add 5, 10, 15, go bold. | ||
| What is the absolute maximum number of Republican seats that you can get? | ||
| And then you fight like hell for the people that you represent to deliver that. | ||
| Because never forget, you're still playing catch up. | ||
| I mean, all the northeastern eastern states, I can't even remember how many of the states that have like 30% of their voters are Republican, 35% of their voters are Republican. | ||
| They get zero Republican seats in those states. | ||
| California, they got 52 seats. | ||
| They're about to give even 40% of the voters in California are Republican. | ||
| Gavin Newsom wants to give California Republicans who make up 40% of the electorate two or three seats in their new map. | ||
| So keep in mind, you're not doing this in a vacuum. | ||
| We're playing catch up, and it's long past time that elected Republicans in state legislatures across the country get in the battle, realize the stakes, and start fighting as hard for the future of these United States and our republic as the liberal, progressive, Marxist, leftist Democrats have for the past 10 or 20 years. | ||
| Be bold, be fearless, be unapologetic, put points on the board. | ||
| Let's save our country for our children and for our grandchildren. | ||
| Because Steve, as you and the posse know, we're not just in a battle in one state or one state. | ||
| We're in a battle for the future of Western civilization. | ||
| And red states, we are the line in the stands to preserve the union. | ||
| And to every one of my colleagues in those states, be bold, be unafraid, be fearless. | ||
| Brian, if you could hang over for a second, we'll take a short commercial break. | ||
| I want to ask you about there's a couple other things going on in Texas that I think show a new attitude of the grassroots of, you know, I keep saying, tell people, victory begets victory. | ||
| As soon as you get a win, you can understand, hey, these things are doable when we get them done. | ||
| Home Title Ock, every dream you've ever had is in your home. | ||
| Also, 80 or 90% of your net worth if you're lucky enough to own a home. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| So, Brian, in Texas, you know, we met in July about a lot of the grassroots down there were very upset that, you know, it is a MAGA base. | ||
| It may be the most MAGA state in the Union. | ||
| You know, and you got the folks in Florida, you got a ton of MAGA voters in California, you got Ohio. | ||
| But Texas has always had a special place. | ||
| You just came off monumental wins for President Trump, I think, by 14 points after a source put in all that money. | ||
| Ted Cruz won, I think, by 11. | ||
| You've had monumental wins, but the grassroots didn't feel like they were getting their wins. | ||
| Now, you've got this situation of hand-counted same-day ballot counting, paper ballots in Dallas County. | ||
| You've had Abbott really take elite, even from President Trump, and designate the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as terrorist organizations and get to the bottom of that, particularly the fact that they won't be able to terrorize Muslim citizens in the state of Texas, right? | ||
| You're going to stop all that nonsense. | ||
| You've had win after win, the redistricting, DEI finally, you know, the head of Texas A ⁇ M gone. | ||
| Now you've had statewide policy change. | ||
| Are we starting to see the political establishment start understand that the grassroots, and you got Cornyn's a distant third in this primary, I think, is shocking given the amount of money he's putting up on traditional media. | ||
| Is the grassroots, you think, is the roar of that lion starting to be heard in Austin and other places around the state with the folks that run Texas? | ||
| Yeah, much to the chagrin, okay, the wailing and gnashing of teeth of the political establishment, Liberal Union Party that's run the Texas government for far too long. | ||
| Here's what's going on down here. | ||
| Texas has for many years enjoyed this reputation as leading in the defense of liberty and freedom and small government, low taxes and low regulations. | ||
| But the reality is that has just been a myth. | ||
| And the Texas government has basically been funding with tax dollars for many years, basically everything that Charlie Kirk dedicated his life to defeating. | ||
| Texans are being taxed out of our homes. | ||
| We still have, by one study, the highest effective property tax rate in all of America. | ||
| Okay, that's outrageous. | ||
| And for that money, what are we doing with all that? | ||
| Well, we've basically been funding a far-left radical agenda. | ||
| We've been one of the biggest funders of transgender indoctrination and DEI and corporate welfare and Hollywood subsidies. | ||
| here's why I have hope and here's why I'm excited and here's why I have optimism is that Texans across our state are having their eyes opened like never before to the rank corruption that has been being perpetrated by the hands of so-called Republicans underneath the corrupt pink dome in Austin, Texas. | ||
| And it's because of the posse, it's been because of patriots grassroots that quite frankly, going and following, even just following me on social media on X, have made their voice heard because when Texans learn about the betrayal and the corruption, they don't tolerate it. | ||
| They don't stand for it. | ||
| They demand action. | ||
| And that's when we have been able to deliver some of the biggest conservative results in many years. | ||
| And just in the last two months, I mean, you mentioned several. | ||
| I mean, just from the results of my Twitter feed and coming on War Room and another alternative media so-called alternative, we have delivered more victories for conservatism than the entire Texas House, Texas Senate, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, had in the three sessions we had this year. | ||
| We ended the biggest DEI program. | ||
| We forced the biggest DEI program in Texas to basically be shut down against the will of the establishment who have been running it for years. | ||
| We got rid of the DEI advocate, former Obama official who was running Texas A ⁇ M. | ||
| And then just recently, after I sounded the alarm on this and came on your show and talked about it, stopped the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles from what they had been doing, which was facilitating illegal immigration by handing out vehicle registrations to illegal aliens at the DMV. | ||
| Oh, and by the way, the DMV is where people register to vote. | ||
| So the biggest border security thing that we have done, and I mean, Texas Monthly, a liberal rag down here, mouthpiece for the liberal establishment, just months ago did a whole profile of me calling me the cockroach of the Texas legislature. | ||
| I loved it, by the way. | ||
| It's framed and hanged prominently in my office. | ||
| But just 24 hours ago, they had to update the story and are now referring to me as a, quote, drone pilot whose kill rate is, quote, impressive because of my almost one-hand, single-handed crusade to weed out DEI and leftist indoctrination in our public universities. | ||
| And I don't say that to pat myself on the back. | ||
| I say that because I am simply the vessel by which the patriots across Texas and America have a voice to expose the corruption and force the change from the establishment who does not want to change. | ||
| They want to continue pursuing liberalism, but they understand that the voters they work for, their eyes are being opened. | ||
| And I think we're entering a turning point in a new day and a new pura, a new period of transparency and accountability. | ||
| And I'm just humbled and honored to get to play a small part in that. | ||
| Real quickly, before we go, I understand the Republican establishment's not, they're less of a fan even than the Texas Monthly and the left. | ||
| They're going to try to stand up a competitor to you because you're not conservative enough. | ||
| They need actually a true conservative down in your district. | ||
| Can you give us any update on that? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| The swamp is absolutely going to do everything they can to take me out. | ||
| Our primaries come up in February. | ||
| So Posse, I need your help if you've appreciated these kind of victories that I've been able to lock arms with you to defeat. | ||
| The Swamp has got at least one opponent, a radical leftist teacher union shill who hates President Trump, has advocated to tear down the border wall, advocated to stop the bills to protect girls in the school bathrooms, has supported tax, raising property taxes and supported taxpayer-funded pornography in our public schools. | ||
| That is my current opponent. | ||
| And then there's talk of them actually finding another potential opponent, a former Democrat donor, if you can believe it, to also join the fray. | ||
| So that may be happening soon. | ||
| The swamp, here's the bottom line. | ||
| They're going to do everything they can to take out the boldest and most effective conservative in the Texas government. | ||
| And I could just, let me tell you, I can't tell you enough how appreciative and humbled I've been for the outpouring of support from the posse. | ||
| But I may need some help as we go into the next couple months just to keep the swamp from pouring out the pressure. | ||
| Where do people in the Texas house? | ||
| Where do people find out about your campaign? | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
