FBI Regrets Not Seizing Voting Machines
00:02:13
|
||
| The day after the search of the Fulton County elections facility, Tulsi Gabbard facilitated a call between the president and the FBI team working on the investigation. | ||
| That's according to three people with knowledge of that meeting. | ||
| The Times writes this. | ||
| The president addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising and thanking them for their work on the inquiry. | ||
| In a letter to lawmakers who were pressing for more details, Gabbard denied that Trump asked questions or issued directives during the call. | ||
| The paper also pointed to the unprecedented nature of the meeting. | ||
| Rather than going to senior department or FBI officials, Trump spoke directly to the frontline agents doing the granular work of a politically sensitive investigation in which he has a large personal stake. | ||
| A White House spokesperson defended President's Georgia investigation on the whole, saying he has pledged to secure America's elections. | ||
| Those 2020 elections were secure, of course, but the Justice Department, the FBI, have declined to comment. | ||
| Well, and it's worth remembering that at least in a couple of these Battleground states, the votes were run by Republicans. | ||
| Georgia was a Republican-run state. | ||
| Arizona was a Republican-run state. | ||
| And the Republican governors and secretaries of state of those states said, yeah, you lost. | ||
| And it didn't seem to stop him then. | ||
| So the idea that if Republicans run the elections somehow, there won't be fraud in his mind is belied by the fact that the Republicans didn't have fraud and did run the elections and he lost. | ||
| And look, it's really, it's an important thing what he said yesterday because he told my colleagues in the New York Times in a recent interview that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in 2020 in states that he lost. | ||
| This is a proposal brought to him in the Oval Office by Mike Flynn, his former National Security Advisor and some others, saying he should effectively declare martial law in some of these states that he lost, seize the voting machines and rerun the elections until he won, basically. | ||
| And that's, you know, the fact that he says he now regrets that indicates where his head is at heading into these midterms. | ||
| I'm actually less concerned with the FBI's role in that than I am with ICE. | ||
| We've seen what the FBI can do right now. | ||
|
All Intentions Right in Front of Us
00:06:30
|
||
| They can, after the fact, open an investigation. | ||
| I have no idea what their predication is for doing this, but they can muck things up after the fact. | ||
| They're an investigative agency. | ||
| They don't really respond. | ||
| ICE is now the largest funded law enforcement agency in the history of the world. | ||
| There is a game plan that draws upon a very horrible period of our nation's history. | ||
| I'm thinking of the Jim Crow era, in which law enforcement was used to discourage people from going to the polls. | ||
| Can anyone look at what's happening in Minnesota and tell me that that is not a very real possibility for November? | ||
| Before January 6th, there was a massive failure of imagination. | ||
| I think singling out a couple of pizza. | ||
| I didn't see people predicting storming the Capitol. | ||
| So there was a lot of failure of imagination that was widespread across the political class before January 6th. | ||
| That is something that had not happened before. | ||
| Now it's happened. | ||
| It has happened. | ||
| And so when that phrase Trump being Trump, which used to mean, oh, all bluster, no action, I think it means something else now. | ||
| If someone says, oh, that's just being Trump, Trump being Trump, I say, yeah, absolutely. | ||
| It is Trump being Trump and Trump being Trump as he tries to steal elections. | ||
| And he talks about it right in front of our faces. | ||
| There's nothing hidden about it. | ||
| And so, yeah, that phrase, Trump being Trump, doesn't mean what it used to mean. | ||
| This is not a drill. | ||
| In it, you write in part, quote, a president who doesn't care about the law, who commands an obedient Congress and is supported by a radicalized base of tens of millions of people who believe his lies represents a threat to the next election. | ||
| I fear that millions of citizens are still too complacent. | ||
| They aren't aware of the peril we face. | ||
| So consider this to be something like a fire drill. | ||
| It's an alarm. | ||
| One of thousands that should be ringing across the country. | ||
| MAGA's acts of aggression are already intimidating. | ||
| Trump isn't just trying to stop the steal again. | ||
| Another kind of theft might be already underway. | ||
| Stupid lie that the 2020 elections were stolen. | ||
| 63 federal judges threw out 63 of Donald Trump's stupid claims that the 2020 election was stolen, including the Supreme Court, including Thomas and Alito. | ||
| All of them threw it out, said it was stupid. | ||
| You had Donald Trump's own administration and the person in charge of elections saying it was the safest, it was the fairest, cleanest election in the history of our constitutional republic. | ||
| So these aren't even good lies. | ||
| These aren't even like, like, doesn't even make us do any work. | ||
| It's right in front of our faces. | ||
| And now he's basically saying, you got Pam Bondi in Minnesota saying, yeah, we'll stop terrorizing your state if you turn over all your voting files. | ||
| That's in Minnesota. | ||
| And now in Georgia, Tulsi Gabbard? | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard is now in charge of seizing voters' files in Georgia. | ||
| That is so unconstitutional. | ||
| States run elections, not presidents who are scared their party's going to lose. | ||
| And it's not an overstatement at all to say that this looks like what autocratic regimes do. | ||
| This looks like what Orban does. | ||
| This looks like what Putin does. | ||
| This looks like what all the worst of the worst across the world do. | ||
| And right now, it's happening again in Georgia. | ||
| Yeah, Joe, one of the things about this that's so frustrating is even after January 6th, even after everything we went through at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, I think there are still people who say, no, this is all bluster. | ||
| This is all talk. | ||
| This is what he does. | ||
| Yeah, what he does is he directly describes what he's going to do about elections. | ||
| What he does is he directly says what's on his mind about elections. | ||
| And I don't know why people aren't believing him. | ||
| I don't know why there isn't more of an outcry here because it's being forecast. | ||
| It's being broadcast to us. | ||
| All of the intentions right in front of our faces. | ||
| And so, you know, one of the things that we have to do in response is not just do what we're doing now, amplify and talk about what the real alarm is, but also start to think of concrete things, concrete policies that can be enacted or at least proposed to bring awareness to this and hopefully roll back some of these efforts. | ||
| But make no mistake, the intentions are very clear and right in front of our faces. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going to 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 3 February, Year of Our Lord, 2026. | ||
| Thank you for joining into the war room. | ||
| I want to thank the team in Denver, the Real America's Voice team, and of course, our own team here at the War Room. | ||
| That was that magnificent cold opening kind of lays the framework for what we're going to talk today. | ||
| Caroline Wren is writing shotgun. | ||
| Dave Bratt is riding shotgun. | ||
| Ben Harnwell is going to join us, Chip Roy, as soon as we get Chip up. | ||
| Let me add, Caroline, I'm going to toss out to you and Dave. | ||
|
Force the Question
00:15:25
|
||
| Obviously, they're totally panicked that now we're getting to the, now we're getting to the receipts of how the 2020 election was stolen. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard, I might say the heroic Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard has been right 100% of the time on all the intel. | ||
| She's given President Trump amazing intel of all these different conflicts he's trying to resolve. | ||
| And that's why they've tried to, Caroline, as you know very well, they've tried to turf her out of her job. | ||
| It's been brutal on that. | ||
| President Trump trusts her enough that she is overseeing this kind of look into the 2020 election because there are national security, obviously, and intelligence issues with this. | ||
| This is the greatest crime in the history of the country. | ||
| They stole the 2020 election. | ||
| As we have said here from the afternoon, I think it was four or five days after the 2020 election when the Associated Press called it for Joe Biden. | ||
| We said Joe Biden's illegitimate, it's an illegitimate regime, all of it. | ||
| And we stand by that. | ||
| And now we're going to get to the receipts. | ||
| And so they are absolutely freaking out. | ||
| There are a couple of bills up. | ||
| Save Act is one to make America make elections great again. | ||
| They call for a couple of basic things. | ||
| And Brad, I want you to jump in here too. | ||
| Here's what they call for. | ||
| You have to show an ID to vote, right? | ||
| A legitimate driver's license or passport. | ||
| You have to show a legitimate ID to vote. | ||
| We have to purge all the voter rolls for people who are not eligible to vote in those districts or counties or states, right? | ||
| And then we have to take, we have to do a real job on mail-in ballots, like voter, like signature verification. | ||
| We're supposed to be on the books. | ||
| But of course, they took them off the books and looked the other way in Pennsylvania. | ||
| That's how they stole that. | ||
| These are a couple of basic things. | ||
| And the Democrats are saying this is the greatest voter suppression movement in history. | ||
| Here's the reason. | ||
| Minnesota shows you this. | ||
| New York City shows you this. | ||
| If they don't have illegal aliens voting, if they don't have these phony migrants that are here on these phony programs that are at the polls, and you're damn right. | ||
| We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November. | ||
| We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again. | ||
| And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen. | ||
| And that's why I'm so proud of what President Trump is doing and people are doing. | ||
| Caroline Wren, your thoughts on that before I go to Brad. | ||
| I think what you said about ICE is very much related to this because in fact, Senator Mark Warren said in an interview, he said, we don't want ICE agents showing up at the polling stations. | ||
| That's what this is all about. | ||
| That's why they're trying to defund ICE. | ||
| That's why they're trying to go after and target ICE and shut it down. | ||
| Why would you care if ICE shows up to polling stations? | ||
| Because illegal aliens are not allowed to vote in this country. | ||
| Except for the problem is they do. | ||
| And they do in these, they're not blue states. | ||
| I was going to say blue states. | ||
| Minnesota is a deeply red state that is held hostage by illegals voting. | ||
| And it is the minorities have taken over there. | ||
| And by minorities, I mean the minority party, the Democratic Party there. | ||
| And that is due to allowing illegals to vote. | ||
| And so that is what this outrage by the left is against ICE. | ||
| They're desperately trying to shut down the DHS funding bill. | ||
| They don't want ICE funded because they don't want ICE at the polling stations to stop illegals from voting. | ||
| The ask here on the SAVE Act and Make America, Make Elections Great Again Act are pretty basic. | ||
| A legitimate ID to show who you are to vote. | ||
| It is to clean up the voter rolls. | ||
| We've had Tom Finton on here. | ||
| There are millions, there are tens of millions of particularly in places like Georgia, but all over the nation, there are tens of millions of people on voter rolls that should not be. | ||
| They have to be cleaned up. | ||
| And the blue states are the ones that are fighting the Justice Department. | ||
| And then the last is you've got to go back to the basic law. | ||
| If you're going to have mail-in ballots, you have to have signature verification. | ||
| You have to have the double envelopes. | ||
| You have to have everything so we can't have a 2020. | ||
| And the Democrats don't want to play that because they know how to steal elections. | ||
| Let's just put you on notice again. | ||
| ICE is going to be around the polls in the 2026 midterm elections because we are never again going to allow your business model. | ||
| Because I only think, I think Jesse Kelly's right. | ||
| 20% of the country probably votes for Democrats. | ||
| You know, the credentialed class. | ||
| And of course, the abject poor that they keep on these social welfare programs and never let them off it. | ||
| That's the Democratic Party based with a handful of oligarchs, the super wealthy. | ||
| That's who controls the Democratic Party. | ||
| The way that they continue to win elections is they cheat. | ||
| If they don't cheat, they can't win. | ||
| And now they're sitting there saying President Trump is a fascist. | ||
| These are very basic things. | ||
| And they're not, we're going to find out today. | ||
| Chip Roy's going to come on. | ||
| As hard as Anna Paulina Luna people have been working, I'm not so sure the SAVE Act even comes to a vote. | ||
| I'm not very hopeful that it will, which is why I think some of this is going to have to be done through executive action. | ||
| You were the president talking about nationalizing some of the elections. | ||
| Well, look, I mean, states do run elections, but you are running them contrary to federal law, which says that you cannot vote if you're an illegal alien in this country. | ||
| And so they are allowing illegal aliens to vote. | ||
| And so Donald Trump is not going to let that happen. | ||
| He's going to step in. | ||
| The federal government's going to have to step in and stop that from happening. | ||
| And so I hope that, you know, what's important about Anna Palina Luna's bill and the SAVE Act is I want that to come to a vote, especially in the Senate, because we need to see the people that are willing to put on paper vote no, basically saying that I support illegal aliens voting in the United States. | ||
| If we're not going to get rid of the filibuster, and obviously Then it's not going to do that, we need the standing filibuster. | ||
| They want to filibuster this. | ||
| They got to stand up there for 30, 40, 50, 60 hours, and let's see it go. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Chip Roy's going to join us. | ||
| There's Sharia caucus in the House and the Senate combination meets today. | ||
| Tommy Tuberbill, Keith Self, Chip Roy, and others. | ||
| Chip's going to be on here. | ||
| I think it's 2 o'clock. | ||
| We're going to cover it live on War Room and Real America's Voice caucus today. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Dave Brack, Caroline Wren, Ben Harnwell is going to join us back in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Let's go right to Chip Roy. | ||
| Chip, tell us about the Save Act. | ||
| You know, we had a cold open. | ||
| I don't know if you caught all of it, but it's the mainstream media and the left melting down because President Trump's got Tulsi Gabbard looking at the results of the stolen election in Georgia in 2020. | ||
| We're going to get to the bottom of all that. | ||
| Plus, he said yesterday, I think it was on Dan Bongino's show, he said, he answered the question, said, hey, we're going to, I may have to nationalize these elections. | ||
| Now, he wasn't using the common vernacular we use politically to say, hey, we're going to get a small set of issues and run a national campaign for the House, which we may end up doing. | ||
| I think that'll probably be it. | ||
| But he met it in the fact that if these blue, if these red states with blue cities like Minnesota and other places with these sanctuary cities continue to thwart ICE and the federal government from getting in and removing these criminal aliens and doing mass deportations, we're not prepared to allow another election to be stolen by the Democrats, particularly when they're thwarting the SAVE Act. | ||
| And what you guys are trying to lay out is, we told the audience, pretty basic. | ||
| Voter ID, right? | ||
| Number one, a voter ID, purge the rolls of anybody that's not eligible to vote, and then get some rules in there on mail-in ballots, like signature verifications, double off, the basics on mail-in ballots so they can't steal it like they did again in 22 or in 2020. | ||
| Can you walk us through where you guys actually stand with the SAVE Act? | ||
| Are we going to get a vote in the Senate on this? | ||
| Are we actually going to make this law? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, first of all, remember, let's rewind the clock for a minute, just so everybody can understand the score. | ||
| Number one, we drafted the SAVE Act in the spring of 2024 because we were concerned about the election of 2024, right? | ||
| And that it would impede the election of President Trump. | ||
| I worked with Cleta Mitchell, like you mentioned, Georgia, right? | ||
| Cleta's been in the center of this fight in Georgia from literally the day after the election in 2020. | ||
| I flew to Georgia, met with Cleta there. | ||
| Cleta and I worked to draft this bill along with Stephen Miller when he was, of course, in the outside before the administration. | ||
| And we got that drafted. | ||
| We got it introduced. | ||
| We got it passed. | ||
| And then the Senate did, in fact, call it up, but they blocked it, right? | ||
| The Democrats blocked it. | ||
| Schumer did. | ||
| Now, fast forward, that bill, the SAVE Act, was centered on citizenship, right? | ||
| It was centered on purging the roles, as you point out, of non-citizens, ensuring that you have to demonstrate your citizenship to register to vote. | ||
| Straightforward bill. | ||
| We purposely left voter ID separately because we were trying to have very discrete bullet issues. | ||
| We decided now we had the SAVE Act this Congress. | ||
| Mike Lee has it in the Senate. | ||
| I have it in the House. | ||
| We added, because President Trump agreed with us, we thought it was a good thing. | ||
| He wanted to do it, branded as the Save America Act. | ||
| We added voter ID into that. | ||
| So we have the SAVE Act already passed. | ||
| It's over in the Senate. | ||
| We now have the Save America Act introduced in both the House and the Senate that is SAVE, that is citizenship, and voter ID, a federal voter ID requirement. | ||
| So we have that introduced in both chambers. | ||
| We'd like to see that move in the Senate. | ||
| Pause for a second. | ||
| There is another bill, as you point out, the Make Elections Great Again bill, that has other features that we've also been working on. | ||
| That was introduced by the administrative committee, Chairman Brian Stile, or he might have ran it through the committee. | ||
| It might have been Mary Miller's bill, but it's a good bill. | ||
| That bill has other things in it, like you point out, about mail-in ballots and all the things we've got to address beyond just citizenship and voter ID. | ||
| Where does it stand? | ||
| I would have liked to have demanded as a part of the appropriations bills moving this week that we at least move the Save America Act and send it over to the Senate and put it on their desk and say, we've already passed it out of the House. | ||
| We have not negotiated that to this point. | ||
| Obviously, the president wants to avoid a shutdown. | ||
| We're working with the White House, but I want to see those move. | ||
| Anna was obviously down at the White House yesterday. | ||
| We've gotten general commitments out of the White House, the Senate, they won't want to move this. | ||
| But here's the sticking point: Leader Thune, he's got to have 51 Republicans sitting on the floor of the Senate to carry out what you described, what I would describe as a talking filibuster. | ||
| That is, you can't just force it to be 60 votes. | ||
| If you have 51 senators on the floor of the Senate, you can call the question. | ||
| Democrats, so long as they speak, can stop calling the question, but they have to be speaking. | ||
| We need leader Thun to force that. | ||
| We believe we should have an upfront central debate. | ||
| We ought to be all cameras on. | ||
| Remember the speaker's fight? | ||
| Everybody in America was watching what was happening when we were on the floor of the House. | ||
| We need that now for the Senate. | ||
| We stand for citizenship. | ||
| We stand for voter ID. | ||
| Democrats are standing to block it. | ||
| We think we should force that question. | ||
| And that's what we're trying to negotiate this week. | ||
| How are you going to be able to negotiate that? | ||
| Get the audience up to speed when you've got the president's pretty adamant. | ||
| He doesn't want a government shutdown. | ||
| And his rationale is that, hey, it took a point or two away from growth last year. | ||
| The Democrats are going to use it against us as a weapon to try to shatter his economic plan, which President Trump is a strong believer. | ||
| He could get to four, four and a half, 5% growth. | ||
| And so Schumer right here, Schumer actually looks like he's got some leverage in this. | ||
| This is what's going to happen with ICE. | ||
| Yesterday, we did blink on body cameras and took it off the table and said in Minnesota, people are going to have body cameras. | ||
| So how are you going to get these all-important, you know, cleaning up the elections and make sure they can't steal them anymore? | ||
| We're codifying that, right, off of all these executive orders. | ||
| At the same time, we're kind of in hangfire on this whole government shutdown. | ||
| As you know, Wren, Bannon, Bratt, the Warren posse, everybody, shut the government down, right? | ||
| We could care less, sir. | ||
| Well, you know where I would be on my own decision making. | ||
| I would be in the camp of where you guys are. | ||
| I am working with the White House and working with the team to figure out what's best. | ||
| The president wants to keep everything rolling, and I want to support the president. | ||
| But at the end of the day, we've been pushing hard over the last 48 hours to demonstrate to Speaker Johnson and leader Thune that we're serious about this and we must get this vote. | ||
| The SAVAC's over there. | ||
| We want the Save America Act over there. | ||
| We want to force the question. | ||
| I think the question here isn't about leverage, though. | ||
| The question here is how to muster 51 votes in the Senate. | ||
| That's the ultimate question. | ||
| It actually isn't 60, Steve. | ||
| And I think this is something everybody needs to understand. | ||
| The filibuster is a problem, and we need to force that because it would put pressure on senators. | ||
| We need to force the talking filibuster. | ||
| But we need 51 Republicans to stand behind something. | ||
| So this is where Scott's great work in going around and pushing hard to try to get every senator to co-sponsor the SAVAC. | ||
| We're now at a number where we're at 50. | ||
| We need to get that up. | ||
| McConnell's opposing it, of course, but we need to get that so we have 51 that are on record saying they support something because then there's no excuse not to force the talking filibuster. | ||
| It's the only way to break 60 or you have to move it on a must-pass piece of legislation. | ||
| And the only thing we have left is going to be the DHS funding bill after this week's bill, the FISA reauthorization, which you and I have problems with. | ||
| We think you need to add a warrant requirement to FISA. | ||
| And then one or two other things, the spending bill by September, and by then it's too late. | ||
| So we've got to try to force the question right now. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Let me add another number for the Warren Posse to chew on. | ||
| You got 60, which they have this kind of phony filibuster. | ||
| You got 51 that could force them to do a talking filibuster, but then you have 27. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| If Thune can't get 51 to do this, don't we go to the president and say, hey, look, let's call a vote on his leadership. | ||
| Don't we have 27 senators that would vote Thune out and get somebody into, I don't know if it's Eric Schmidt, Hawley, you picket, somebody that'd be the new leader of the Senate that would get you the 51. | ||
| I mean, they keep saying we can't get the votes. | ||
| That's what a leader is supposed to do. | ||
| If Thune cannot deliver this week on these basics about not allowing them to steal elections, why is he not removed as a leader of the Senate, sir? | ||
| Well, I think that's a great question for Mike Lee and Rick Scott. | ||
| My observation, you know, and I was obviously a chief of staff to Ted Cruz in the Senate. | ||
| I know the Senate pretty well. | ||
| The question is going to be is who can deliver 51? | ||
| And I think right now, I will say this, the president, without divulging private conversations, the president is very animated and very concerned about getting the Senate to move on this. | ||
| I think leader Thune is feeling that. | ||
| I think we're at a critical juncture right now where if the posse is engaged, if the American people are engaged and we put pressure on the Senate that we will force this question. | ||
| Now, my concern is when I hear Thune say we're going to have a vote on this soon, is it'll have a vote. | ||
| He won't force the question at 51. | ||
| We will lose the vote and it'll say, well, I tried, right? | ||
| And that's not good enough. | ||
| You've got to go down there with the full force of 51 senators and get it done. | ||
| I think if that does not happen, then I think that leader Thune's going to have some questions to have to answer. | ||
|
Force the Question Soon
00:08:02
|
||
| And I think there'll be some questions about the overall leadership. | ||
| I think that Majority Leader Thun wants to try to figure out how to get this done. | ||
| At least Mike Lee thinks he believes that after his conversations with him. | ||
| So Mike's going to be in a better position to explain that. | ||
| But look, for everybody out there, we're as close as we've ever been, but we're going to run out of time. | ||
| If we don't pass these reforms in the next weeks, right, we're going to run out of time to implement them and to ensure, or at least, you know, improve the likelihood that we will not have fraud by November. | ||
| I mean, obviously, I'd like to get all the reforms, get voter ID, Save Act, citizenship, the mail-in ballot changes, limits to how long you can have early voting and the online voting and make it towards paper ballots. | ||
| These are all things everybody watching this wants, everything I want. | ||
| We're trying to get there. | ||
| Again, we've got more momentum behind Save and Save America, the citizenship and voter ID than we've ever had. | ||
| So we've just got to keep the pressure up. | ||
| Chip, do we have the ability to hold you through the break for a couple of minutes? | ||
| If not, the anti-Sharia caucus is going to meet, I think, today at 2. | ||
| It's a press conference. | ||
| We're going to cover it live on Real America's Voice. | ||
| Can you tell us about that? | ||
| Yeah, I can do that. | ||
| I'll hang by. | ||
| Okay, fine. | ||
| Just tee it up. | ||
| What happens at 2 o'clock? | ||
| I want to make sure our audience is prepped for this. | ||
| At 2 o'clock, you and Keith Tupperville. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Yeah, Keith Selp and I co-founded the Sharia Free America Caucus in the House. | ||
| Senator Tupperville is going to join us. | ||
| We're going to have a bunch of the Freedom Caucus, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs, Eli Crane, all of the great Americans here. | ||
| We're going to be standing up and talking about how we need to fight the advance of the Islamification of this country. | ||
| We're seeing it unfold in real time, not just across America, but very much in Texas. | ||
| You know this because you've been down there with War Room in Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth, Metroplex is ground zero, Houston as well. | ||
| The Muslim Brotherhood wants to see Texas flip. | ||
| So Keith Selp, obviously a Texan. | ||
| He represents Collin County. | ||
| He's dealing with that epic city nonsense. | ||
| We've got to expose this. | ||
| I'm having a hearing next week. | ||
| Steve, this is important. | ||
| I'm the chairman of the subcommittee of the Constitution and Judiciary. | ||
| I'm holding a hearing on Sharia law next week. | ||
| I believe it's next week. | ||
| It's next week or the following. | ||
| I'll let you all know. | ||
| But I think it's next week on this topic. | ||
| And we're going to keep our foot on the gas. | ||
| And so we'll have this press conference today, too, talking about what we're trying to do. | ||
| Can you hang over one second? | ||
| Just want to hold you through the break. | ||
| Got a couple more questions. | ||
| And I want to make sure everybody's got your coordinates on this. | ||
| Chip Roy. | ||
| So we got to force a vote here. | ||
| Senator Thune, it's in your hands. | ||
| I got to say, it's easier to get to 27 than to 51, but you got to step up and show some leadership. | ||
| Now it's make or break time. | ||
| We've got to get these bills. | ||
| We have to codify this to stop the Democrats with the illegal aliens stealing the 2026 midterm. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Chip Roy's with us. | ||
| Chip. | ||
| Your number is 50 or 49. | ||
| I think we're counting 48. | ||
| We're a couple short. | ||
| Of course, McConnell, and I think Taylor's going to thwart everything the president's going to try to do. | ||
| So what is the real count? | ||
| As close as you can. | ||
| We have 48 online. | ||
| Mike told me that he thought we had 49 or 50, but I'm trying to run that to ground. | ||
| I'll text you so you can update the posse as soon as I get the updated number from Mike. | ||
| But here's what's going to blow people's heads up. | ||
| How can you be a Republican senator and how can you have taken money from this audience and have people knock on doors and canvas for you and all the hard work to make sure that you don't get a Democrat? | ||
| And then on the most fundamental basic things, we got to be supplicants. | ||
| You know, we should have three or four Democrats in this. | ||
| You should have federal. | ||
| We should have 55 or 56 and be close to the 60. | ||
| We're not. | ||
| We're short of the 51. | ||
| Well, how pathetic is it? | ||
| How does that happen? | ||
| How does that happen? | ||
| Well, in at least one case, right? | ||
| So Mitch McConnell put out a letter last week. | ||
| This will surprise nobody in the posse that basically laid out his concerns about basically federalism, right? | ||
| Well, the federal government shouldn't be step into what this is, a state purview. | ||
| This is old school thinking, right? | ||
| Where we have this reflexive constitutional debate about what we should be doing. | ||
| There's very clear, very clear constitutional authority and frankly, duty to ensure that our elections are being handled the right way, right? | ||
| It's plain as day right there in the Constitution. | ||
| And so we can manage our own elections. | ||
| So we certainly can put requirements. | ||
| And by the way, we've drafted these to be focused on federal elections. | ||
| So it's federal voter ID. | ||
| It's dealing with citizenship, which of course, in addition to our election authority, we have citizenship authority. | ||
| So you've got both forces under the Constitution where we're given that authority. | ||
| So I think there's two or three or four members that are trying to hide behind that. | ||
| The pressure is coming up. | ||
| I think we're at 49. | ||
| I'll double check. | ||
| But we're going to have to keep the pressure up to ensure where we are. | ||
| Last, your Sharia Free America caucus has spread beyond Texas. | ||
| On Texas, this issue is on fire. | ||
| And of course, on the 3 March primary, there's going to be Proposition 10, which prohibits Sharia law in the state of Texas. | ||
| You're also on the ballot. | ||
| You're leaving the House and running for AG. | ||
| What would you tell folks in Texas? | ||
| You know, we've shifted the flag down here. | ||
| We do Warwarm, Texas from here. | ||
| And I've never seen, I said, of all the things we've launched, pandemic, impeachment, all of it, we've never had an explosive growth like we had in Warwick, Texas, because people down here are clearly now have permission structure to talk about something they've wanted to talk about and take action on. | ||
| What is your caucus? | ||
| What is your caucus going to do, number one? | ||
| Is it spreading for more members than just Texas? | ||
| And what can the caucus do at the federal level to help the Texans? | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, so first of all, in no particular order, number one, we've got to be a voice. | ||
| And that's what we've been doing. | ||
| Going back two years ago, I gave a speech on the House floor, which ignited some of this. | ||
| Charlie Kirk and I, our last conversation we had on, that was substantive was on this topic. | ||
| This was last summer. | ||
| We started laying out some framework of things we should do. | ||
| I introduced legislation, obviously, to take the tax benefits away from care, to go after and prevent anybody that is adherent to Sharia law from being admitted to the United States and frankly get removed if you're adherent to Sharia law. | ||
| We've got the PAWS Act, which pauses all immigration until we've sorted out the entirety of the numbers, including the Sharia issue. | ||
| What we're going to do is continue to expose and hold hearings and try to grow the numbers. | ||
| We've had an immediate good group that's formed around it. | ||
| We don't want to have people join it to get cover, but we do want to grow the numbers, right? | ||
| So we're going to, as chairman of the subcommittee on the constitution, we'll hold that hearing next week at the press conference today. | ||
| We'll be talking about a lot of these issues to expose them. | ||
| We want to basically, our first step is make sure the American people and Texans in particular aren't afraid to talk about this. | ||
| We've been trained and beat over our head to think that the First Amendment means that we have to turn over our sovereignty of our nation and walk away from our Judeo-Christian values in the name of the First Amendment. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| You've got people here who want to Islamify our country. | ||
| They're at war with our way of life. | ||
| They want to undermine Western civilization. | ||
| They want Sharia law to apply. | ||
| And all of those things will destroy our great country and what we've done as Western civilization for the world. | ||
| So we want that message to be loud and clear. | ||
| And we want to expose the 300 miles growing in Texas, the Epic City, the Islamic Center in Houston, the Islamic Center in Austin, the Islamic Center that's sitting there on West campus at the University of Texas. | ||
| All of the things going on, like yesterday in Wiley, Texas, where they were handing out hijabs before school, all in an effort to carry out their agenda. | ||
| Those things need to be exposed, and then we lay out all of the legal ways to stop them. | ||
| Chip, where do people get you on social media to find out everything you're doing in the House and also to your campaign site? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| ChiproyTX on X slash Twitter, ChiproyTX. | ||
| And then Chiproy.com is my website. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Heading back over to the Judiciary Committee here in a second to work on some more issues with the great Chairman Jordan. | ||

|
||
| And I appreciate you having me on. | ||
| Thank you, Chip. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| Brad, I'm going to come to you in a second. | ||
| Caroline, I think this is the frustration with the War Room posse. | ||
| People work like crazy. | ||
| Here we are. | ||
| Now, these bills, it's a little bit jumbled, but the bottom line is the president wants this. | ||
| The MAGA base wants this. | ||
| The Republicans want this. | ||
| And here we are now in a fight about the government and about DHS, which they've got extreme, you know, no mask body cameras, which we've given them already without a negotiation. | ||
| Your federal badge up there, all because so they can dox you. | ||
| That's what they want. | ||
| Also, no indemnity for the ICE officers. | ||
| They want a federal warrant to remove any, they want a signed judicial warrant to remove anybody from the United States. | ||
| President Trump said, President Trump now, he said yesterday there are 20 to 25 million here on Biden's watch. | ||
| I'm at the official number, I think it's 12 to 15 million, but that's a grunch. | ||
| It's going to take forever. | ||
| You know, they want no more walking patrols, right? | ||
| And I find out in an article last night that put up Bovino really fought the whole DHS apparatus and people at the White House, you know, saying, hey, we just can't go into these jails because they're not turning them over. | ||
| We need to have broader sweeps. | ||
| We need to look at mass deportations to force these authorities who refuse to work with us. | ||
| And in Minnesota, they're laughing in our face. | ||
| All that being said, we're jammed up in a huge negotiation for that. | ||
| Now we've got these issues, which we have to get sorted in a couple of weeks to make sure that they can't steal the elections. | ||
| When Maryland Senate last night votes overwhelmingly to go 8-0 in congressional districts, Spanberger, and Spanberger's running the Commonwealth of Virginia like a CAA operative, right? | ||
| She's well-trained. | ||
| She's smash mouth. | ||
| She's already 10 to 1. | ||
| So mathematically, you're going to have a tough time to even do it anyway. | ||
| But to stop the standing elections, we're at 47 or 48 votes. | ||
| You have to be a supplicant even to get to the 51 to get the standing thing. | ||
| How can this happen? | ||
| And how corrupt is McConnell's Senate? | ||
| And why do we keep sending these people back? | ||
| Well, because Mitch McConnell and people like him, they want small majorities. | ||
| That's how they maintain power. | ||
| They do not want what probably would have happened if Mitch McConnell was not in charge of SLF at the time. | ||
| And if we had the SAVE Act actually passed, we would have had to do that. | ||
| That's Senate. | ||
| Senate leadership. | ||
| We would have had Republican senators in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan. | ||
| And they tanked all those races on purpose. | ||
| They want to have a 51-52 seat because they can control that. | ||
| They can control the Rick Scotts and the Mike Lee's when they say, oh, no, sorry, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins are not going to vote for this. | ||
| And so we can't even do it. | ||
| And that's what's happening right now. | ||
| You have Murkowski and Collins, who traditionally will go with wherever leadership or McConnell tell them to. | ||
| And if we're able to give, especially someone like Collins, when you see those people opposing it, they've been told by leadership. | ||
| They've been told by the press on their own. | ||
| That's how that works. | ||
| That's a total scam. | ||
| But then you have a bigger problem in that you have Tillis and Cassidy just doing it to be jerks. | ||
| And they're doing it because they're pissed off of Trump. | ||
| Cassidy in Louisiana, you know, Trump endorsed against him. | ||
| Tillis is just on a like jihad against Donald Trump and MAGAism and will oppose anything that he does. | ||
| And so those are the ones there. | ||
| I think you're probably better off trying to pick up Fetterman, who actually has been, I think, more open to this idea than anyone else. | ||
| But really, nobody wants to talk about it either. | ||
| Tillis is tanking Watley in North Carolina. | ||
| The polling on Watley is like Watley's at 24, 26, 27, 28%. | ||
| Part of that is MAGA's not convinced he's MAGA, but more importantly, they're seeing Tillis every day and they're going, Why should I do this if Tillis is sitting there? | ||
| What's the use of having anybody in the Senate if Tillis is sitting there opposing everybody? | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Dave Brett, your thoughts about this, sir. | ||
| Yeah, well, just rewind. | ||
| I agree with everything Caroline's saying, but just back to the basics. | ||
| This is the America first issue of the highest order. | ||
| President Trump ran on it. | ||
| He's president because of it. | ||
| Rachel Bovard in the Wall Street Journal today has a piece saying this is an 85% issue. | ||
| It can be transformative. | ||
| Caroline said, you know, make the senators accountable. | ||
| Chip said, turn on the cameras, shine the lights, show everybody what's going on. | ||
| I work with the Immigration Accountability Project. | ||
| Everybody, go to IAPACI.com and maybe spend some money there instead of on the candidates who have let you down for the past decade and ruined our country. | ||
| The real problem, Rachel gave us one set of numbers. | ||
| 85% of the American people want this. | ||
| So why isn't it happening? | ||
| And it's because 85% of businesses do want it. | ||
| I want to be very specific. | ||
| She's in the Wall Street Journal. | ||
| As you know, Paul Gijot is no friend of Trump or MAGA, right? | ||
| Those guys hate it. | ||
| As we talked yesterday about the Wall Street Journal overall, go back when Bovart says 85% of the people support this, specifically talk about these provisions that the American people say, yeah, we definitely should have that. | ||
| Walk us through it because her piece, and I want to thank Gijot for allowing it to be in the Wall Street Journal because it's getting a broad reading. | ||
| But it's quite powerful. | ||
| As you know, Rachel Brovart is a fire breather. | ||
| What does she have to say, Dave? | ||
| Well, Rachel goes through the points one by one by one, but overall, she's making the point that this will crack the ice and give the rest of the Trump agenda breathing life again into the power of the people and the conservative impulse in this country. | ||
| Right now, everyone is very frustrated for everything you're saying. | ||
| But the other point that she's raising, these are just common sense principles, which we've covered. | ||
| Illegal immigrants can't vote and on down the line. | ||
| But the other piece of evidence that's important to bring up is Senator Mike Lee, a probable Supreme Court justice in the future, is about the safest pair of hands you ever seen. | ||
| So Senator Mike Lee is on board with this legislation, the SAVE Act, and Chip Roy. | ||
| This is something we have to move on. | ||
| And so I'm all in favor of it. | ||
| And everybody needs to go out. | ||
| I'm not kidding you. | ||
| Iapaction.com, go support that group because that's the only group I know of that has a roll call vote scorecard that holds the congressmen and women accountable and it has their track record there. | ||
| And this will be a key vote. | ||
| You know, Heritage Foundation, all these groups have key votes. | ||
| This will be a key vote on just a common sense, 85% issue. | ||
| And of course, 85% of the money is opposed to this. | ||
| And that is the crux of the issue. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| The reason that this is so important, Rachel Bovart. | ||
| Caroline, we got about a minute here before we go to break is that the Trump agenda has not been codified. | ||
| It's all the great executive orders, and we're moving out, but it's just like at the end of President Lincoln in the movie Lincoln. | ||
| The Emancipation Proclamation was just an executive order. | ||
| They said, hey, as soon as you're out of office, the next guy can just sign it away, and we're back to the same issue we fought the Civil War. | ||
| That's why we need an amendment to the Constitution. | ||
| Hear the same thing. | ||
| President Trump's done a great job. | ||
| These executive orders need to be codified. | ||
| This is the most basic that has the overwhelming support of the American people. | ||
| We're at 48 votes in the Senate. | ||
| I mean, this is the problem that MAGA has with the Republican Party, man. | ||
| Well, I just think this is an incredibly dangerous vote for the elitists to ever allow to happen because it will end in one-party rule for the foreseeable future. | ||
| Because right now, the math is just not behind the Democrats. | ||
| When the new census comes out, there is no electoral path for them to win a presidential election with American citizens. | ||
| With American citizens. | ||
| If you get a census that doesn't count, it doesn't count illegal aliens like we try to get in 2020. | ||
| And you're having a mass exodus from the blue states into red states. | ||
| And so it's going to change the map entirely. | ||
| The Democrats can win Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, all of them. | ||
| And we're still, the Republicans will still win the White House. | ||
| This is why they're moving in so intensely on Texas. | ||
| This is why Texas is their long play. | ||
| They have to make either Texas or Florida competitive for them to have any future in naturalization. | ||
| And so exactly. | ||
| And so in Texas, that's why this is our true last stand right now. | ||
| It is so important. | ||
| Texas is the new Colorado. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Birch Gold, of course, gold's back up today, but hey, it is all over the map. | ||
| Make sure you understand what's going on. | ||
| It's not the price. | ||
| It's the process. | ||
| Birchgold.com promo code banned the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| We called it five years ago and she's come out and said, hey, I think we want the Chinese currency to be a competitor to the U.S. dollar as far as reserve currency. | ||
| That, ladies and gentlemen, will change your life. | ||
| Talk to Philip Patrick and the team today at Birch Gold. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| Dave Bratt, Frank Gaffney watching the show this morning just sent me. | ||
| He said, Dave Bratt inspired him that he's come up with an idea inspired by Bratt, we should make all U.S. senators wear body cameras. | ||
| Love it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Love it. | |
| Go Gaffney. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's great. | |
| Go Gaffney. | ||
| That's a very good, very good recommendation. | ||
| So Chip Roy got us the count. | ||
| He said it actually is to 50 now. | ||
| It's 48 plus Lee and Thune, Mike Lee and Thune. | ||
| We're missing McConnell, Collins, and Murkowski. | ||
| I want you to explain to the audience again that this is McConnell's deal that he controls Murkowski and Collins. | ||
| They're not independent actors. | ||
| So when you see them opposing bills, it's not simply that they are essentially Democrats who are in the Senate, but they are controlled by Mitch McConnell. | ||
| Yeah, they are. | ||
| Well, I also, Mitch McConnell has little to no agency over himself anymore. | ||
| So this is actually a staffer behind Mitch McConnell who is doing this. | ||
| Just hates Trump and hates MAGA. | ||
| Yeah, completely. | ||
| I don't, you know, McConnell is very weak right now, I guess we could say. | ||
| And I can't imagine he's sitting there authoring reports on this. | ||
| But I do believe that McConnell's mentality, the mentality behind his staff and behind this has to do with control. | ||
| And they don't want large majorities. | ||
| They want small majorities. | ||
| They want to be able to control the base and control what is the majority, not only in the country, but in the Republican Party. | ||
| And so they don't want 56, 57, 58 Republican senators. | ||
| They want it to be small. | ||
| And I do think that with Collins, you know, I always give her a little bit longer of a leash because she's up for reelection. | ||
| And Maine is a very blue state. | ||
| So if we, you know, if we don't need her vote, fine. | ||
| Then, you know, if she goes the other way on it, fine. | ||
| With Murkowski, Thune absolutely does have the ability to tell Murkowski to get on board and that's the point. | ||
| And it's Alaska. | ||
| Yeah, Alaska. | ||
| And also, if you don't, then trade something. | ||
| That's what Delaska does. | ||
| That's what Murkowski does. | ||
| They want a bridge somewhere. | ||
| They want a dam somewhere or whatever in their state. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Then use your leverage and trade on it. | ||
| I don't even care. | ||
| But that is what she usually demands. | ||
| And so, you know, whatever it is, I think this is the most important vote that they could possibly do. | ||
| President Trump won the two centerpieces of the MAGA revolution is number one, seal the border and deport all illegal aliens. | ||
| Get the sovereignty of the country back and make the citizens in charge. | ||
| And number two is election integrity. | ||
| We're not going to, and by the way, they're both inextricably linked because this is how the Red-Green Alliance has basically taken over large sections of the country and continued to control our elections and continue to control. | ||
| As you say, these are red states with massive blue cities, like Illinois and like New York, like Minnesota, right? | ||
| That you have these sanctuary cities, and this is why they keep sending them in. | ||
| And I might submit that right now in those sanctuary cities, there's been no reaching out or middle ground with Holman saying, hey, we just want access to the jails to take the criminals out and maybe even prioritize the hardest criminals in Minnesota. | ||
| And they're not doing that. | ||
| Hochole just came out last night and put out a decree. | ||
| There will be no actual, there will be no working relationship whatsoever between New York State's law enforcement and ICE. | ||
| So it couldn't be more in your face. | ||
| You cannot compromise with these people. | ||
| There's nothing to compromise about. | ||
| And that's why I say if we can't get this vote, first off, we ought to put a blowtorch to these people in the Senate. | ||
| But if you can't even get to a vote to codify this for this election, President Trump is going to have to nationalize the elections. | ||
| We're going to have to then take other measures to secure because we are not prepared. | ||
| And the war imposse and the MAGA base are not prepared to sit back and just have these elections stolen. | ||
| No, and you also, it's, I don't even understand why we need to do this bill. | ||
| If you are not a citizen, you can't vote. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| We can go in and enforce that. | ||
| I don't understand what they're saying. | ||
| Put ice around the ballot boxes. | ||
| And they can cry all they want and throw their toys out of the pram all they want. | ||
| Dave Brett, your thoughts on this well, you brought up Virginia, the stunner proposed legislation that caught my eye more than any others. | ||
| They're going to make it illegal to count hand ballots, right? | ||
| Let me say that again. | ||
| They're going to make it illegal to count hand ballots. | ||
| That's the most safest, accountable way. | ||
| All the rest of the world does that, by the way. | ||
| Every other country except for the United States. | ||
| And so what the American people haven't been able to receive yet, because they don't want this view of their own country, is that one of the major parties is pushing that type of corruption in your face in public. | ||
| And that's the, you know, Minnesota, nice. | ||
| There's all sorts of articles on that going on. | ||
| The churches, the NGOs. | ||
| The American people, I think, are finally getting there because the Minnesota story also involved that $10 billion in corruption bleeding off, right? | ||
| And then the Ukraine war, we still don't have an audit on that. | ||
| And so when you combine the corruption with the money and the fraud and the American taxpayers paying the bill for it, that's the new piece that we may be turning the page. | ||
| But as Chip just said, turn on the lights, crank up the cameras, and let's hold everyone accountable. | ||
|
Next Hour: Inflationary Work, House Budget
00:02:29
|
||
| Shine the light on the senators, on the House, on the budget piece, we still don't have that part right. | ||
| That's still inflationary. | ||
| We got work to do on that. | ||
| The good news is President Trump, the Atlanta Fed Now GDP Now number is 4.2% GDP growth. | ||
| It was two something under Biden a year ago. | ||
| And so that is phenomenal progress on the economic front. | ||
| There's way more to come. | ||
| That's going to kick in. | ||
| But that is very much tied to what we do on this border issue and the border invasion. | ||
| When you got 10 to 20 million illegals in the country, that puts tremendous downward pressure on wages for the poorest. | ||
| But that 4.2% is a great number. | ||
| Here's the issue with it. | ||
| They're going to use that against President Trump. | ||
| What the Democrats are going, the Democrats want to shut down the government because they think that drives the growth rate down and it thwarts President Trump's economic program. | ||
| That's one of his concerns. | ||
| That's why we're facing now these two dilemmas. | ||
| You've got all this ICE negotiation that we shouldn't give up on anything because they've just told you, Hochul's just told you, there's no compromise. | ||
| They're not going to work with you. | ||
| And if you don't get these, you don't get the codification of the election integrity issues, then you're going to have to do it yourself. | ||
| Caroline's absolutely correct. | ||
| The demographics is working against them, right? | ||
| If you have a census that doesn't count illegal aliens, which we try to get done in 2020, that it's a totally different demographic. | ||
| Plus, what the movement to Florida, the movement to Arizona, the movement to Texas, to these, and particularly these other southern states that are more MAGA, the Democrats are looking at the possibility of even with the blue wall of not winning another presidential election and having another pickup, I don't know, of 20 or 30 seats in the House, which makes it almost bulletproof for their control of the House. | ||
| Unfortunately, this is why they're making such a tough stand on this. | ||
| They understand we could put them out of business. | ||
| One new thing, we're going to start in the next hour about the color revolution. | ||
| People like in Texas 9, I don't think folks in the United States overall, and particularly the MAGA base, understand the lethality of this red-green alliance and what it means. | ||
