Don Lemon's Assault On The Church
00:12:03
|
||
| New York Times reports this, quote, working with hundreds of organizations in 46 states, organizers said they are encouraging Americans to abstain from daily activities to grind the economy to a halt. | ||
| And the protests could not come at a more dire moment. | ||
| Just a few days ago, Trump said his administration would, quote, de-escalate in Minneapolis when it comes to enforcement, but that statement does not match up with the reality on the ground there. | ||
| Now today, Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on local leaders, and he is calling Alex Predi, the man who was killed, an agitator and quote, perhaps insurrectionist. | ||
| What is being seen as a full assault, a new red line crossed, an assault on the First Amendment. | ||
| The administration today arrested two journalists, including Don Lemon, formerly of CNN. | ||
| He's long been a target of Donald Trump's wrath and ire, along with activists for a protest at a church on January 18th. | ||
| Don Lemon was not there as a protester. | ||
| He identified himself as a journalist and made it clear that he was there. | ||
| He was inside in his capacity as a journalist and reporter. | ||
| According to a copy of the indictment obtained by our team, Lemon faces two civil rights charges, including conspiracy against the right of religious freedom. | ||
| He will appear in court later this hour. | ||
| A wave of protests rising up in the streets of American cities, especially Minneapolis, against Donald Trump and his autocratic ambitions. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
| 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. Bennett. | |
| It's Friday, 30 January, Year of Lord, 2026. | ||
| Mike Davis is going to join us in a moment about this Don Lemon situation. | ||
| But I've got to go to Ben Berquam briefly, and Ben's going to be with us for the hour. | ||
| Ben, we're going to the streets of Minneapolis. | ||
| Today you were outside the federal building where there was a big demonstration. | ||
| People should understand on a very cold Friday afternoon, it looks like, I don't know, 20, 30,000 people in the streets of Minneapolis, Ben. | ||
| Yeah, it's massive. | ||
| I mean, it's one of the biggest protests, at least here in Minneapolis, I've ever seen. | ||
| And what's crazy about this, Steve, is this entire thing has been led by, they call them peacekeepers. | ||
| Not a single police officer in sight that I've seen today. | ||
| Everyone in these yellow jackets are basically dating this whole thing. | ||
| They've blocked, I don't know, 20 streets as they were coming through. | ||
| The entire line, both sides of the parks are filled, but it goes back 10 blocks probably of people. | ||
| It is massive. | ||
| Is that what we're seeing right there, the back of the flatbed truck? | ||
| Is that the speakers? | ||
| Is that the speaker stand? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, this is where all the speakers are doing all the chants, leading all the lemmings. | ||
| That's all come from here. | ||
| So we're at the very front of the march. | ||
| Did they look like they're reaching out their hand? | ||
| Are they reaching out their hand to President Trump to work through this since President Trump has been pretty conciliatory? | ||
| Tom Holman. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| No, I wouldn't say that. | ||
| I want you to be safe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hang on. | |
| Let me get Mike Davis. | ||
| Come back to you. | ||
| Mike Davis, I think Don Lemon is going to be arraigned, I think, within the hour of this show in Los Angeles. | ||
| Talk me through: is this serious or is this just President Trump and his devotees chasing making trouble for an innocent man? | ||
| You've seen the indictment. | ||
| What do you got? | ||
| So, the videos of what Don Lemon did at that church service where he stormed the church with other agitators. | ||
| He went onto the pulpit and interrupted the church service and had a tried to have a debate with the minister on the pulpit. | ||
| He scared the hell out of the congregants, including women and children. | ||
| A woman broke her arm during all of this. | ||
| Don Lemon faces very serious federal felony charges under the Klan Act, Conspiracy Against Rights, 18 USC, Section 241, along with a misdemeanor charge or maybe even felony, depending on how they do it, under the FACE Act, under 18 USC, Section 248. | ||
| Here's the issue: Steve, he was not there as a journalist, but even if he were there as a journalist, journalists do not have license to trespass into a house of worship. | ||
| They do not have license to terrorize church congregants. | ||
| They do not have, whether it's a church, a mosque, a synagogue, another place of worship, you can't do that. | ||
| Remember, the Biden Justice Department imprisoned elderly Christian pro-life protesters at Planned Parenthood. | ||
| So Don Lemon is certainly not above the law here. | ||
| And I would say this: if Don Lemon showed any sense of remorse after this, you know, if he said, well, I just got caught up in this, it was bad judgment. | ||
| I apologize. | ||
| You know, maybe, just maybe, he would have the Justice Department saying something different today. | ||
| But this Don Lemon, he doubled down, he tripled out, he quadrupled down and tried to say that he was there as a journalist when the videos are so clear what he was doing. | ||
| His own statements on video after he did this show his mental culpability, his mental state for all this. | ||
| He admitted his criminal culpability for us. | ||
| He admitted he targeted this church because of their Christian faith. | ||
| He admitted he targeted this church because of the race of the congregants, right? | ||
| This is text, textbook, face acts, and this is textbook Plan Act. | ||
| So Don Lemon can go to hell. | ||
| And in the meantime, Pam Bonnie is going to send his ass to prison. | ||
| Yeah, let me, you gave a real shout out today on social media to Pam Bondi. | ||
| Walk me through that. | ||
| Well, I just think that Pam Bondi is being bold and fearless here. | ||
| Look, in prior Republican administrations, there's no chance in hell that a Republican white male attorney general would charge Don Lemon with a Klan Act violation because prior Republican white male attorneys general are pussies, and Pam Bondi is not. | ||
| She is bold and fearless. | ||
| She does not give a damn about the woke nonsense, the political correctness. | ||
| It's very clear that Don Lemon was an agitator here who terrorized a white Christian church. | ||
| So Pam Bonnie is going to put this man where he belongs in jail with Klan Act and Face Act charges. | ||
| Okay, because tonight you know on CNN and MSNBC, we're just going to be bombarded with the because they've already started on these afternoon shows. | ||
| And by the way, we're going to try to get to cut to Don Lemon when he gets arraigned. | ||
| That these are just kind of phony made-up charges, and this is just retribution by Trump's Trump's acolytes and devotees. | ||
| Can you just give it to us succinctly one more time? | ||
| Why do you, Mike Davis, think this is serious, the charges and at least the preliminary evidence they took to the grand jury? | ||
| Because Don Lemon terrorized a church service, he disrupted the church service. | ||
| He went on the pulpit and disrupted the pastor in the middle of the church service, tried to debate with him during the middle of the church service. | ||
| Look, I went to 13 years of Catholic school. | ||
| As you know, Steve, I'm not exactly the model Catholic, but it enrages me watching this soul go on to a pulpit and debate a pastor during the middle of a church service. | ||
| You have little kids cowering in terror. | ||
| You have women cowering in terror. | ||
| You have someone breaking their arm. | ||
| There has to be punishment here because Don Lemon has shown zero remorse for what he's done. | ||
| He's quadrupled down. | ||
| And here's the bigger issue. | ||
| If you do not make an example out of Don Lemon, if you do not punish him, if you do not have a deterrent factor here, this is going to happen all across America. | ||
| You're going to have left-wing agitators disrupting church services every Sunday. | ||
| And that cannot happen in this country. | ||
| That is a series of very serious federal crimes, including the FACE Act and the Klan Act. | ||
| And you can't have the Biden Justice Department throwing 75-year-old Christians in prison for praying at abortion clinics, but you let Don Lemon get out of jail-free card just because he's a black left-wing journalist. | ||
| Again, Don Lemon can go to hell. | ||
| In the meantime, he can go to jail. | ||
| Right now, in the streets, we're going to go back to Ben Burkhomb in a second. | ||
| You have, I don't know, 20, 30,000. | ||
| You have a massive turnout, it looks like, with no police, right? | ||
| And no ICE, no customs and border. | ||
| They've taken over the streets, and now they're governing themselves, but they've taken over the streets. | ||
| There's no legal authority. | ||
| This case is going to depend upon those parishioners coming forward in open court and accusing and backing up with evidence, eyewitness evidence, what Don Lemon did, correct? | ||
| Where are we going to find, because you know they're going to be terrorized immediately. | ||
| Where are you going to find parishioners with that kind of steely spine when you're living in a place like Minneapolis, sir? | ||
| Now, that's a very good point. | ||
| Now, I think this one was in St. Paul, which is a little bit more sane than the Somali pirates in Minneapolis. | ||
| But I get your point. | ||
| Here's the issue. | ||
| You have videos from Don Lemon where he's admitting what he did, which is storm the church to make them uncomfortable. | ||
| And he did it because of their race and their religion. | ||
| They're white Christians. | ||
| That's why he targeted this church. | ||
| You can play those videos in court of Don Lemon. | ||
| Those are hearsay videos, but they are, you can, you get around the hearsay rules, the federal rules of evidence. | ||
| You can get around the hearsay rules because it's Don Lemon's incriminating statements. | ||
| And so play those videos in court. | ||
| And it seems like it's a pretty clear-cut, slam-dunk case. | ||
| Now, if he ends up getting jury nullification, which he may get because you're dealing with left-wing jurors in Minnesota, the dumbest people in America, they let Somali pirates rip them off for, they let Somali pirates rip them off out of billions of dollars for years and years and years. | ||
| So you may have dumb Democrat Minnesota jurors with jury nullification, but you know what? | ||
| Who gives a damn? | ||
| Put Don Lemon through the process. | ||
|
Surprising Pick Today
00:02:59
|
||
| Mike Davis, thank you. | ||
| I know you had to step out to do this. | ||
| Where do people go for Article 3? | ||
| Where do they go for your social media? | ||
| You're putting up a lot of great stuff on this. | ||
| Where do they go? | ||
| Article3project.org, article number3project.org. | ||
| Donate, follow us on social media. | ||
| And again, action, action, action for the all-star war room posse. | ||
| And thank you, Steve. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Mike Davis on, and Don Lemon is supposed to be, I guess, arraigned here shortly. | ||
| We'll go to that. | ||
| Let's go back to Ben. | ||
| Do we have Ben Berquam? | ||
| They had to move. | ||
| Okay, you see right there, look at the overview. | ||
| I don't know, Ben, Ben. | ||
| Go ahead, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're just one sided. | |
| Hang on, I want to get you out. | ||
| By the way, Ben, go ahead, Steve. | ||
| Ben, is the march tomorrow going to be bigger than this? | ||
| It's hard to say, hey, is the march tomorrow going to be bigger than this, guys? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hang on. | |
| Is the march tomorrow going to be bigger than this? | ||
| Is the march tomorrow going to be bigger than this? | ||
| If you bring your friends, it will be. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's pretty big, though. | ||
| We're moving. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, we're moving. | |
| Go. | ||
| Okay, Ben Berquam. | ||
| We'll come right back to you. | ||
| Ben Berquam at the march. | ||
| Got to be safe. | ||
| By the way, for Raw Story, we did not cut the interview with Ben Berquam short today. | ||
| We did it all. | ||
| We sent you some additional Ford show. | ||
| Ben Berquam was down there. | ||
| So in the streets of Minneapolis, we're going to leave with my favorite, the boss, Bruce Springsteen, his new song. | ||
| You see right there, I think it's 20,000 to 30,000 people. | ||
| No police, no sheriffs, no ICE, no customs and border. | ||
| They're self-governing today or self-organizing today in the streets of Minneapolis. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to talk about the streets in Texas next. | ||
| We'll go back to Ben Berquam. | ||
| By the way, supposed to be even bigger demonstrations. | ||
| That's why I asked the question on Saturday. | ||
| It's supposed to be huge, so we'll cover it all. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Gold, I think, down 10% at the close. | ||
| Silver down like 30%. | ||
| This is what happens. | ||
| You announced a chairman of the Federal Reserve who is very serious about a strong dollar. | ||
| He's a hawk on interest rates. | ||
| It's kind of a surprising pick today. | ||
| Kevin Warsh. | ||
| But capital markets throughout the world, I think, greatly appreciated. | ||
| This looks like the president of the United States, when they accuse him of not having an independent Fed, you couldn't have someone that has kind of different philosophy than the president, I think, when it comes to monetary policy and it comes to capital markets. | ||
| Anyway, Kevin Warsh has been designated as the next Fed chair. | ||
| Gold and silver took a hit as people took profit taking. | ||
| And in addition, looks like someone coming with a stronger dollar. | ||
| Short break. | ||

| We want to make sure that Texas does not become a Minneapolis. | ||
| I know that's far-fetched, but if you let these things get out of control, you never know what's going to happen. | ||
| Brian Harrison, you have two great pieces of news today. | ||
| We're going to do a quick hit and try to talk you into coming back on tomorrow because these are things that the Warren Posse has worked on with you. | ||
| Let's start at Texas A ⁇ M and then we'll go to the hearings. | ||
| Yeah, big news. | ||
| And like we've been doing, Steve, with the posse for the better part of the last year now, just win after when. | ||
| When Texans, when grassroots patriots, when the posse becomes aware of the Texas government and the liberal tendencies of the Austin Uni Party, when they become aware of the corruption, they don't stand for it. | ||
| They demand action, and that's how we've been getting results. | ||
| And the posse is well aware of our work to get, we got rid of the president of Texas A ⁇ M. We've ended big DEI programs. | ||
| We've stopped illegals from registering vehicles. | ||
| And then a huge victory today, maybe the biggest to date, following on the heels of getting rid of the president of Texas A ⁇ M, who is pushing DEI and transgender indoctrination. | ||
| The biggest part of the Texas A ⁇ M University system that was pushing this radical transgender indoctrination into the classroom, okay, indoctrinating the next generation of students into this radical transgender ideology, the women's and gender studies department at Texas A ⁇ M University, as of today, I can announce to you, Texas A ⁇ M is shutting down that program. | ||
| This was the belly of the beast for the transgender movement at the Texas A ⁇ M University system. | ||
| And maybe the biggest blow to taxpayer-funded transgender indoctrination in the Texas government that we've had for many years, a lot of folks were shocked to learn, as was I, that not only was the Texas government not fighting the woke progressive left transgender agenda, the Texas government for the past 10 years or so has probably been one of the biggest funders of transgender indoctrination. | ||
| And the posse, grassroots patriots, have struck one of, if not the biggest blow against transgender indoctrination in the Texas government. | ||
| And I'm really proud, even though I'm often fighting these battles alone down in the Austin swamp, I know I'm standing in solidarity with grassroots freedom loving patriots all across Texas, the country. | ||
| And this is another W in the column for the posse here. | ||
| So big blow against taxation. | ||
| And this is the Texas A ⁇ M today. | ||
| And this ideology was dug in. | ||
| I mean, they were dug in hard on this. | ||
| When we first started this, when he brought it to people's attention, they had no intention of changing. | ||
| Do we have any idea of what tipped it over? | ||
| So they just said, hey, we're out. | ||
| We're out of this business. | ||
| We're shutting it down. | ||
| Because that's a massive humiliation for them. | ||
| I'll tell you exactly what it was. | ||
| We did it. | ||
| They didn't want to do it. | ||
| And that's not, you don't have to take my opinion for it. | ||
| You can go back and look at the record. | ||
| Because it was I that released the undercover footage of a conservative female student, never identified her for her safety. | ||
| She got to me, I released undercover footage of a Texas A ⁇ M University classroom, a children's literature class, okay, future teachers, where they were being forced to memorize things like the gender unicorn. | ||
| She objected to radical taxpayer-funded transgender indoctrination. | ||
| And we know that the Texas government supported this because the leadership of Texas A ⁇ M University tried to cover it up. | ||
| They engaged in a whole cover-up operation to try and sweep this under the rub. | ||
| They berated the student. | ||
| They harassed the student, threatened her, tried to get her to take a deal to remain silent if they could keep the indoctrination going. | ||
| They were never going to stop this. | ||
| But the way we got this win, there's no question about it, was because I boldly called for it, as the only member of the Texas government to call for this. | ||
| And then I went on shows like The War Room and social media. | ||
| And I locked arms with millions of people across the state and country, especially Texans who are sick and tired of being taxed out of their homes to have their money weaponized against them, their children, and their values. | ||
| I said, we're done with this. | ||
| And we have melted the phone lines in Austin and the pressure has gotten so insurmountable for the Austin Uniparty establishment that we are seeing cracks in the dam. | ||
| And Texas government, I believe, now is turning the core slowly. | ||
| There's a lot of work to do, but this is the biggest victory yet against taxpayer-funded transgender indoctrination. | ||
| And you mentioned how hard they were going. | ||
| I'm reading here from a syllabus here. | ||
| The Texas AM was teaching how to pursue environmental justice in these classes. | ||
| They were teaching about eco-feminism. | ||
| They were teaching the gender unicorn here. | ||
| They were teaching that transphobia is systematically deployed. | ||
| They were teaching how to advocate for the transgender agenda. | ||
| Here's a whole course on transgender cinemas. | ||
| Okay, this is what taxpayers were being forced to fund. | ||
| But the biggest program at Texas AM is no more. | ||
| And I'm really proud to have locked arms with you, the posse, and Patriots to just get another huge victory in a long string of victories against the liberal Austin Uni Party. | ||
| Brian, next week, we're shifting the flag of the war in Worm, Texas, actually to physically to Texas for the March 3rd, the run-up to the March, the 3 March primary where Sharia law is on the ballot to prohibit Sharia laws on the ballot and Proposition 10. | ||
| You've got big news. | ||
| You called for, you said, hey, Steve, we're going to do this. | ||
| We need a special session. | ||
| You get a special session. | ||
| We have to have hearings. | ||
| I know that when that word first went out, a lot of people tried to block it. | ||
| You've got an update for us. | ||
| A big update and a great update. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| You, me, and many 100 or so patriots had a meeting in Dallas not too long ago. | ||
| And I put on the table. | ||
| I said, guys, people are bringing up all these legislative solutions because here's one thing your viewers need to know. | ||
| Despite a lot of gaslighting from Austin officials, Texas has not banned Sharia law. | ||
| And so there's a lot of legislative solutions being thrown around. | ||
| I said, guys, the legislature is not in session until 2027, over a year away. | ||
| We cannot delay any further. | ||
| And at this point, I firmly believe that delay is tantamount to acquiescence to the progressive left. | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| People don't think that that kind of stuff you see out in Europe and what's happened to London with the effects of unchecked mass migration and the violent jihadists and the explosion and growth of Sharia adherence could happen in Texas. | ||
| It absolutely could. | ||
| We're going over two mosques every month are going up in the state of Texas. | ||
| Two Sharia tribunals right in my backyard, one in Irving, one in Dallas. | ||
| So I called for emergency interim legislative oversight hearings. | ||
| And I'm very excited to break the news here on your show that the Texas Senate, thanks to a decision, the correct and a bold decision by our Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, the Texas Senate has just announced they will have interim legislative oversight hearings, among other things. | ||
| But included among them will be hearings to address the growing threat from Sharia law and ways to prevent the growth of Sharia law here in the state of Texas. | ||
| And this is another victory, quite frankly, for the grassroots and the patriots demanding action, saying we don't want to wait any longer to deal with this. | ||
| We've got to nip this cancer in the bud. | ||
| So I appreciate our Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick putting that on the agenda for the Texas Senate. | ||
| I have formally in writing demanded the Speaker of the Texas House do the same thing. | ||
| The Texas House needs to get in gear, get it off its backside and deal with Sharia law right now and then property taxes and a whole bunch of other things that the voters of Texas just really can't afford to have their government sit on the sidelines any longer for. | ||
| Big news. | ||
| Brian Harrison, your Twitter feed is feared, is loved and feared, loved and low down in Texas. | ||

| We got a primary in a month. | ||
| So please go there to help me out at Brian E. Harrison. | ||
| But we're going to keep the, or I'm not tired of winning. | ||
| We're just getting warmed up. | ||
| We're going to keep the victories coming here. | ||
| Thank you, Brian. | ||
| Great. | ||
| These are huge. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great. | |
| Appreciate you, Stephen. | ||
| Lee Walms again. | ||
| The primary is 3 March, but on Saturday, there's actually a real election, a special election. | ||
| You're in a dogfight down there. | ||
| Explain where we stand and what you need in this vitally important Texas Senate race, ma'am. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Where we stand is the left has poured millions into painting my Democrat opponent as a moderate. | ||
| He is nothing. | ||
| close to a moderate. | ||
| He has donated to the Harris Waltz campaign 21 times, AOC, Jasmine Crockett. | ||
| He has funded an article came out in the Texas Voice today that proved what we already know, talking about Texas Majority PAC, which is a partner of the Texas Democrat Party. | ||
| And they've traced $7 million of direct contributions from George Soros to that PAC. | ||
| And two-thirds of my Democrat opponents' funding comes from that PAC. | ||
| It's a very serious situation. | ||
| The Democrats are working very hard to take Texas. | ||
| And I'll tell you why. | ||
| We know special elections are very difficult. | ||
| We know Republicans underperform and Democrats overperform. | ||
| In the history, last 150 years, only four times in our country's history has the party in the majority stayed the party of the majority during the midterms. | ||
| What's crucial for Texas, however, we have 31 senators. | ||
| We're a big state, 31 million people. | ||
| Each Senate district has about a million people in it. | ||
| Out of that, the balance of power is 20 to 11. | ||
| 20 Republicans, 11 Democrats. | ||
| Well, for the first time in history, five of our Republicans have either retired or resigned. | ||
| That means five open seats. | ||
| And this special election happening tomorrow, tomorrow is election day. | ||
| It's the last day to vote is critical. | ||
| Beto O'Rourke's organization, powered by people, is an extremely left-wing organization funded with additional millions of dollars. | ||
| They are active in my Democrat opponent's campaign, and they are literally posting that this January election is their pilot program, their words, not mine, pilot program for turning Texas blue in November. | ||
| So for the Senate District 9 seat, it's half of Tarrant County. | ||
| Tarrant County is the largest red county left in the nation. | ||
| About 2.3 million people. | ||
| We're larger than 15 states. | ||
| It's a big deal, meaning it's a big target to the left. | ||
| We have to get our voters out. | ||
| There are 26,000 Republican voters in State Senate District 9 that have not voted yet, and we have to get them out or we lose Texas. | ||
| Lee, just hang on for one second. | ||
| I'm going to hold you to the break. | ||
| We'll get some details about people knowing where to go to vote and all that. | ||
| Lee Wilmsgat in a dogfight has all the folks down in Texas. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Lee, where do people go? | ||
| The site, where they go to vote. | ||
| You got 26,000 registered Republicans that have not voted. | ||
| We need all those people to turn out. | ||
| We need this audience if you're in Tarrant County and you've already voted to help turn people out tomorrow because the weather has been pretty horrific down there. | ||
| Where do people go to find out more at Lee Walmsgun? | ||
| So if you know you're in Senate District 9, go to leefortexas.com and click on voter info. | ||
| You can find all the locations there. | ||
| If you live in Tarrant County and you're not sure, you can go to tarrantcounty.com slash elections and you can check to see what Senate district you are in. | ||
| And you can click all the voting elections sites and there is a plethora of voting elections and you're right. | ||
| The ice storm closed down some polling places. | ||
| It really did hamper our turnout. | ||
| We need everyone out tomorrow. | ||
| Run, don't walk to the polls. | ||
| Do not let the weather and the left take Texas. | ||
| And make sure you take somebody with you. | ||

John's Detention Concerns
00:08:02
|
||
| Tough as bootleather. | ||
| Thank you, ma'am. | ||
| Weather's been against you, but we're going to pull this out. | ||
| Make sure everybody focuses. | ||
| 26,000 registered Republicans have not voted yet in Tarrant County. | ||
| Let's get it done. | ||
| John Lott, there's another, it's a firestorm in Capitol Hill right now because they're trying to figure out the House and the Senate whether we're going to shut the government down, not shut the government down. | ||
| As you know, John, I'm kind of with you. | ||
| I don't care if they shut the government down or not. | ||
| But on this one, they look like they're pulling out the DHS budget. | ||
| And they're specifically talking about, I mean, things like the Democrats, the Senate wants no mask on the ICE agents. | ||
| They want body cams that work 24-7. | ||
| They want to be able to sue the officers just on and on. | ||
| Plus, they want to make sure that every time you go to get an illegal alien out, you got to get a warrant from a federal judge. | ||
| The ask on this thing are so over the top. | ||
| I don't even know why. | ||
| I don't even know why we're considering this, but we're kind of jammed up on this thing. | ||
| And you highlight both, you know, if the government shuts down, what potentially could happen. | ||
| Walk me through. | ||
| You got a great piece in real clear politics. | ||
| Walk us through it. | ||
| Right, thanks. | ||
| I mean, the bottom line from the Democratic proposals is to essentially stop Trump from being able to go and deport illegal aliens. | ||
| So right now, you can go and get a warrant from an immigration judge or an administrative warrant. | ||
| What they want to do is have it so that federal district court judges and magistrates would handle these things. | ||
| That makes the process much more complicated. | ||
| But plus, you're talking about 1,100 federal district court judges and magistrates in the country. | ||
| You know, if they were to deport people at the same rate that they did this last year, and they're ramping it up. | ||
| So hopefully it would have been more. | ||
| You're talking about 500 warrants that each judge would have to go and handle. | ||
| You know, talking about weeks of work on their part for people, many of them already have a heavy schedule. | ||
| But the problem also is about 60% of the district court judges in the country are Democrats. | ||
| I mean, surely you know as well as anybody how a lot of these Democratic district court judges have done whatever they can in order to try to stop deportations by the Trump administration. | ||
| And so, you know, if you have a large portion of these judges who are refusing to sign warrants for political reasons, you know, I guess you can go and appeal to an appeals court, but you're talking about a long, drawn-out process that's going to encompass a lot of the court system. | ||
| And it's going to make it difficult or impossible for them to go and deport a lot of these people. | ||
| And on top of that, you mentioned John, John, hang our surprise, but it's going to make it impossible. | ||
| They know that. | ||
| What they're proposing makes it impossible, you know, because these judges got other things to do too. | ||
| They're just not, they're going to, they're trying to overwhelm the, they're trying to put up bureaucratic processes that just can't possibly be done, correct? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Look, this system that we have right now in terms of immigration judges handling the warrants, that was something that's happened under the Biden administration. | ||
| It happened under the Obama administration, happened under the Clinton administration. | ||
| They had no problem with any of those things, despite millions of people being deported during some of those administrations with going and having immigration judges and administrative warrants handling the process that was there. | ||
| But, you know, as you say, it's just going to prevent them from deporting lots of people right now and introduce more politics into it. | ||
| You know, and some of the other things like making it so, because they're upset that many of these agents are wearing masks, but they're wearing them for a reason. | ||
| I mean, you have a 1,347% increase this last year over 2024 in the number of assaults on ICE officers. | ||
| You have an 8,000% increase in the number of death threats. | ||
| You have a 3,200% increase. | ||
| That's 32 times, 32-fold increase in vehicle assaults on ICE officers. | ||
| And so, you know, you have people that have been doxx that have gone and shown up at people's homes, at ICE officers' homes, yelling and screaming. | ||
| You have people confronting their family members. | ||
| You have calling up and making death threats against their wives and their children. | ||
| You know, it's been a very difficult situation. | ||
| And I have to say, the media has just been really biased in terms of how it's covered. | ||
| It's true there's been a drop in the poll numbers for this stuff, but it's because the media hasn't provided the proper perspective on these things. | ||
| I'll give you a simple example. | ||
| Of course, you have something like they're not going to. | ||
| I know, but it's shows like yours that hopefully we can educate people about what the actual numbers are. | ||
| So you're going to get look, they ask the questions the wrong way. | ||
| We're Jam. | ||
| What would you tell the president? | ||
| Because every ask, no mask, suing the officers. | ||
| You know, guy get a warrant for everything. | ||
| None of this works and it's not going to come close to working. | ||
| So what's your recommendation? | ||
| Because the Senate Democrats are going to hold up. | ||
| You're going to have this whole fight and Firestorm actually with actually funding, you know, funding ICE, funding customs of border, funding DHS. | ||
| And the president, on the top of his mind, is that, hey, they took a point or two off my growth rate that I've worked so hard to get the economy back around. | ||
| That's what the Democrats are trying to do. | ||
| What would be your recommendation to the president about how to handle this? | ||
| Well, somehow they're going to have to go above and around the media in terms of educating people on these issues. | ||
| There's so much misinformation. | ||
| I'll just give you one example, and that is ProPublica, this left-wing media organization, has this claim that 170 Americans were detained by ICE this last year. | ||
| Well, first of all, 130 of those were people that were arrested because they had attacked ICE agents or interfered with ICE doing its job. | ||
| They were committing felonies. | ||
| That's the reason why they were detained. | ||
| It wasn't just some American accidentally picked up off the street. | ||
| Now, 40, okay, I would prefer if it was zero, obviously. | ||
| Nobody wants somebody accidentally detained, but most of those were less than a day. | ||
| And most of those were detained for an hour or a couple hours because they were picked up along with illegal immigrants that they were trying to pick up who had criminal records. | ||
| And they were quickly processed and realized that they weren't who they thought they were. | ||
| But, you know, the thing is, when you look at the overall 600,000, you're talking about one mistake for every 15,000 illegals that are picked up. | ||
| Compare that to the Obama administration. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Compare it to the Obama administration. | ||
| First of all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But conservative media, but we have to just do a better job. | ||
| We got to be better. | ||
| We got to be tougher. | ||
| You got him in the streets. | ||
| You know, we got Ben Berkham. | ||
| It's very dangerous, but you're just going to have to, because the left, this is their business model. | ||
| This is the way they take over the country. | ||
| They're just not going to sit. | ||
| This is not a debating society. | ||
| They fully, ProPublica particularly, those guys are professionals. | ||
| I mean, they're professional propagandists. | ||
| Anyway, John, the article is amazing. | ||
| Where do people go to get all your content, particularly this article that's up on real clear politics right now? | ||
| They can go to our website at crimeresearch.org, crime research.org, and it has all sorts of data on the rate that illegals are committing crimes in the United States, which is very high, and many other aspects of this question. | ||

Why They Take Over The Country

|
||
| John Lott, great piece. | ||
| Great piece to kind of lay some facts. | ||
| I don't want Grace and Mo and Elizabeth that you guys can push it and push it hard out there to the War Room posse. | ||
| By the way, tomorrow was at David Schaefer. | ||
| There's an amazing report out on Georgia. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard and Pamboni did not address the Secretary of State. | ||
| I think that was canceled. | ||
| We're going to have David Schaefer on tomorrow from Georgia. | ||
| We're going to go through this report. | ||
| Also, Philip Patrick's going to join us about the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, what he means as far as probably Fed policy goes and how that's going to impact gold and precious metals. | ||
| Like I said, gold off about 10 points today. | ||
| Silver dove, I think, 30%. | ||
| I think it was 30%. | ||
| And we're going to have those guys up tomorrow. | ||
| Very honored. | ||
| Sam Tannenhaus, if we can pull it off, Sam's going to join us tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to talk more about Bill Buckley. | ||
| But right now is a very special, I guess, 50th anniversary. | ||
| Brian Boyle, the General Counsel of American Promise, joins us. | ||
| What is the 50th anniversary of Brian and why is it such a big deal? | ||
| And how does it entail Bill Buckley? | ||
| Yeah, so today is the 50th anniversary of a case called Buckley versus Vallejo, which was decided by the Supreme Court back in 1976. | ||
| And as your listeners might not know anything about that case, so if I could, I could just tell you this is the case where the Supreme Court, really for the first time in American history, took over campaign finance as a policy area. | ||
| For the first, honestly, 200 years of American history, the rules about how money flows through elections could be decided by the American people. | ||
| So if the American people were concerned about the way that that was happening and how it might be interfering with their sense of being represented by the people that they're trying to elect, they had the ability to set some guardrails. | ||
| But then in 1976, the Supreme Court basically stepped in and really took that whole set of decisions and gave it over to the federal judiciary. | ||
| And that's where it's really lived for the past 50 years. | ||
| What was the case about? | ||
| And how was Buckley even involved? | ||
| Yeah, so the case was about a federal law called the Federal Election Campaign Act. | ||
| And this was a law that had been passed by Congress, actually on a cross-partisan basis and signed into law by President Ford. | ||
| And it was around concerns about how money, Congress did some investigations and they felt that money was really influencing the policies that were getting on the agenda. | ||
| And they were hearing from their constituents that they were concerned about how money was really severing the connection between the people and the folks that were supposed to be serving their interests in DC. | ||
| And so Congress passed a set of comprehensive laws that were really meant to set some guardrails on that. | ||
| Now, if I could just take a step back and say The wisdom of those laws and whether they were good policy or not, I think, is a separate question from whether or not it was really the court's job to step in and say, actually, no, we're going to sort of take over and take the power away from the states and the American people to decide what laws we want in this area. | ||
| Brian, can you hang one second? | ||
| I want to go to break. | ||
| It seems like a very innocent age compared to where we are today. | ||
| Brian Boyle from American Prospect, the general counsel, they'll walk through the 50th anniversary of this landmark case. | ||
| Sam Tennenhaus is going to join us tomorrow to talk more about Bill Buckley of the Buckley Klan. | ||
| Patriot Mobile, 972 Patriot, the best mobile service in the world, layers on top of the other mobile services. | ||
| One of the central facts, C. Lee Wamskan, used to what run their political side before she got into elective politics. | ||
| 972 Patriot, you're going to talk to a Texan, they say with an East Texas accent, on a company that puts its Christian values first. | ||
| We're going to be spending a lot of time with Jenny and Glenn's story in the coming month as we shift the war room to Texas to make sure that we're all over the situation on the 3 March Proposition 10 to prohibit Sharia law in the crown jewel of the union, the state of Texas. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to be back in a moment. | ||

| Brian Boyle. | ||
| So this was James Buckley, right? | ||
| His beloved brother. | ||
| Talk to me about what was the case about and why is it such a landmark? | ||
| You're saying this is the first time the federal government decided? | ||
| Because it sounds like it was kind of a very innocent time given where we are today. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So as you mentioned, it was James Buckley who was the brother of Bill Buckley. | ||
| He had run for the U.S. Senate. | ||
| And, you know, I think the reason why the case is so important, why the anniversary is so important for your listeners to know about, is that this was the first time that the Supreme Court got involved in money in politics. | ||
| And when we talk to Americans, which we do all the time, people say that the number one policy concern they have today is they feel like the system has gotten utterly out of control. | ||
| But that system really kind of got launched 50 years ago when the Supreme Court really took this whole area over and courts and judges on elected judges started to make the decisions instead of the American people themselves. | ||
| And I think what your listeners might be interested in knowing is that there's a movement right now to try to take that power back. | ||
| It's power that the American people used to have. | ||
| They used to be able to decide whether they were concerned about foreign money making its way into their elections or tremendous amounts of out-of-state money making a way into our elections. | ||
| And the American people want that back because If you're living in a rural part of the country and you see millions of dollars from out-of-state flooding into your elections to try to choose your elected representative, you feel like the system isn't serving your interests. | ||
| No, Lee Womsgain's got this problem right now. | ||
| And the primary, she would have won with 50%, but it was out-of-state gambling money that came in and had another Republican. | ||
| And that's why she won, but she didn't go over 50%. | ||
| Now she's running. | ||
| There's out-of-state dark money that you have to deal with. | ||
| This is all over. | ||
| Brian, where do they go on American Promise? | ||
| You said they can learn more. | ||
| Our audience wants the receipt. | ||
| So where do they go over the weekend to learn more? | ||
| And then what's your social media so they can find out more about you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, sure. | |
| So we're at AmericanPromise.net. | ||
| We're leading a nationwide movement to give this power back to the people. | ||
| And our social media, USA Promise at USA Promise, and that's on both X and Facebook. | ||
| And there's lots of ways for people to get involved because there's a real hunger out there right now for a solution to the crisis of how money is really interfering with representative government. | ||
| And this is something I just want to say, like be ready for a strange bedfellows experience because you get people across the political spectrum who like, you know, Trump voters and Harris voters driving down to their state capital together to say, listen, we're ready for something different. | ||
| The posse is in the middle of the AI fight. | ||
| So we've met a couple of strange bedfellows, as you say, new alignments and coalitions all the time. | ||
| Brian Boyle, thank you. | ||

| Brian, thank you for joining us on a Friday. | ||
| Thank you for hanging around. | ||
| You and Lot. | ||
| We had presidential press conferences. | ||
| We had things jump in. | ||
| You guys have been ready to go for a couple of days. | ||
| So I really appreciate it. | ||
| On the 50th anniversary, and man, did Bill Buckley and his brother James, James Buckley, too? | ||
| What a guy. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Sam Tannenhaus tomorrow. | ||
| Going to try to get Sam teed up to talk. | ||
| We got more about the conservative history of the country and the place of Bill Buckley and the Buckley family in that. | ||
| Mike Lindell, amazing. | ||
| Your run for governor so far in this Republican primary. | ||
| Every night you seem like you're having a debate. | ||
| A couple of people have already dropped out. | ||
| I don't think they can take the heat because it's so intense in Minnesota right now. | ||
| Did you ever think, Mike, there's 20 or 30,000 people in the streets right now. | ||
| There's no cops. | ||
| There's no sheriffs. | ||
| There's no ICE. | ||
| There's no CPB. | ||
| Now it looks like it's self-organizing. | ||
| And besides some confrontations between media and some of the protesters, it looks like, at least right now, relatively safe. | ||
| But you've got 30,000. | ||
| The one tomorrow is supposed to be even bigger. | ||
| Did you ever think that Minnesota would be the hotbed for an insurrection in this country, sir? | ||
| No, I did not. | ||
| And it's actually kind of surreal, Steve. | ||
| And it's where the logic is that you look at all these other cities that enforce their protest laws where they got to get permits and they got to be in a certain place and you can't stop people from going point A to point B. Everything's working there. | ||
| And it's like, where does this end? | ||
| Obviously, the mayor did not listen to our president when they had their talk. | ||
| And people that are downtown, my friends that are downtown, they fear as much, they fear the protesters more than anything because they can't get from point A to point B. Their whole lives have been disrupted. | ||
| Most of these protesters have been, I believe, have been busted in and brought there. | ||
| They're paid so many. | ||
| It's just absolutely horrible. | ||
| And I'll tell you, Steve, when I'm governor, the first thing Yeah, enforce these laws, these protest laws, because you can't, if you take that, take them out of the mix where you can't break laws to protest. | ||
| It's that simple. | ||
| It's like, you know, and and um, and uh, but they um, I just think that it's such an easy solution to this problem. | ||
| And because otherwise, what are they ending? | ||
| Where's their end game? | ||
| They're gonna burn down Minneapolis like they did last time. | ||
| You smoked out Amy Klobucher at the Senate, and that in and of itself is a massive effort, sir. | ||
| A hat tip for you. | ||
| Now, now it's now a mono. | ||
| Amy Klobucher and Mike Lindell. | ||
| Before we leave, we get 60 seconds, sir. | ||
| Second hour of the afternoon show is coming up. | ||
