Episode 5267: Illegals Continue To Murder In The Heartland
Stephen K. Bannon opens the April 2, 2026 episode by condemning media lies and detailing President Trump's stalled Iran deal negotiations, which now extend to six weeks despite earlier optimism. The discussion shifts to Sheridan Gorman's murder by an undocumented immigrant in Chicago, blaming sanctuary policies and Democratic officials for the tragedy. Legal victories include a Supreme Court ruling on conversion therapy and a Missouri consent decree against social media coercion, while controversies persist over EPA glyphosate handling. Finally, reports allege ActBlue committed criminal misconduct with foreign donations, contrasting with a Colorado court ruling that resentenced Tina Peters after her nine-year imprisonment for political views. Ultimately, the episode frames these events as evidence of systemic failures requiring a "medieval" approach to enemies and domestic reform. [Automatically generated summary]
Yeah, I think going into this speech, the American people expected to see that he was one going to announce that we were about to withdraw from the war.
That's what Politico reported in advance was that.
The president was going to announce the war was winding down.
Of course, that did not happen.
I think people expected either that or they expected to hear that he was going to send ground troops or escalate the war in a major way.
Instead, we got kind of similar to what we've heard before, which is that the president said there would be two to three weeks left, that he was going to destroy Iran's nuclear capacity once again, and that the families of the 13 soldiers whose lives have been lost want him to finish the job in Iran.
I thought this was particularly interesting because I traveled with the president this weekend and was able.
To get an update from him on Iran while we were on Air Force One flying back to D.C.
And he told us that Iran was allowing the passage of 20 oil ships, that he was very optimistic about negotiations, that they were finally talking to the right people, and that he could see a war ending soon.
And so I asked him, could you see a deal coming this very week?
And he said, yes, that he could see that.
That could happen.
But of course, we're nearing the end of this week.
We haven't heard a deal yet.
And I think I was somewhat expecting that maybe that deal would be announced last night, that he previewed Sunday night.
But instead, we are sticking with that original four to six.
Week sounds like maybe even a little bit longer timeline for the operation.
When they talk about a deal, it looks like the Israelis may have taken out the one person that's somehow in contact, I guess the Pakistanis, with the vice president's office.
But to date, in your reporting, are we actually even in communications directly with any of what's left of the regime or the different aspects of the regime?
Because my understanding is there are a couple of three power centers vying to try to control this thing as they've dispersed.
Do you have any sense that the United States is in any direct communications with someone of authority that could actually not just make a deal, but actually enforce a deal with the United States?
The president has repeatedly said, he's told the press many times, that regime change has occurred, that they've knocked out the original regime, the one after that, maybe even the one after that, and that they're finally negotiating with the right people.
He has not specifically clarified who those right people are.
He has said a lot about how the Ayatollah's son, they say he's in charge, but no one knows if he's alive.
He likely is.
Dead or incapacitated.
And so it sounds like whoever they're negotiating with, they feel like they're able to move forward with.
But the president said on the plane to us that you just never know with Iran, things could change rapidly.
Even if things are looking good, maybe they don't stay that way.
Brandon Weichert brings up the point that as much as the president talks about a two or three week off ramp, as much as he continues to say, hey, look, our military objectives are bang, bang, bang, and we're very close, we've completed most of them.
There's a few others we haven't completed that we continue to pour resources in, military hardware, more operational capabilities.
We continue to pour it into the region.
Your thoughts on that?
Is the president just doing that so he's got a hammer, particularly this thing that he said at the end that if the Iranians don't come to some sort of agreement, we're definitely going to escalate and take out their power grid and maybe even their oil and gas production capability?
Well, I think we've heard from administration, many different officials have said that we are well ahead of schedule.
They've been saying that really since the early days.
And then we're also hearing this two to three week suggestion, which would have us be there even longer than originally anticipated.
So I think people are wondering are we really ahead of schedule, considering that kind of inconsistency there?
But I think what's going on here is the president wants to keep all his options on the table.
He doesn't want to back himself into a corner.
And anything that he shares with the American people, with the media, is something that the enemy in Iran will hear as well.
I think that it's possible that there will be this kind of escalation.
I mean, we've seen reports about the 82nd Division being sent over there, which would, of course, be a major escalation.
But I think no matter what happens, no matter what these reports say, I take it with a grain of salt because we know the president is not going to want to show all of his cards to the enemy and put himself into a situation he can't get out of.
I think when the president goes down to Mar a Lago, we can expect that he is going to be spending his weekend continuing these negotiations.
That's what he told us.
The first thing he told us on the plane after his last weekend in Palm Beach was that he had spent the weekend having very productive negotiations with Iran and that a lot of progress had been made.
And so I think we can all hope that progress will be made again.
I know he'll be working on this from Palm Beach during the Easter weekend.
As a reporter that covers the White House, last question, because there's a difference of opinion.
I thought he was pretty clear about staying with the program he's got to degrade and destroy much of the Iranian military.
But both Kurt Mills and Brennan Reichert, who people understand they come from one side of this, they thought that he opened up and implied that it could be open for ground troops.
In listening to that speech and covering the White House, Do you take anything away from last night that actually said that we could, in the two or three week period or beyond, insert ground troops there?
Well, as someone who closely follows the president, I noticed that the majority of the things that he said in his speech last night are things that we've heard before, talking about bringing Iran back to the Stone Age, talking about that two to three week timeline, how important it is to destroy their nuclear capacity, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, all that.
And so I really didn't hear anything.
Super different coming out of that speech last night.
I mean, the president has never ruled out ground troops.
He's never ruled out any options.
He's always said he wants to keep everything on the table.
So, are ground troops possible?
Certainly.
He's never said that it's not going to happen.
It could very well happen.
But I didn't see him particularly opening the door for that in a new way in his speech last night.
He's pretty tough on NATO over the last couple of days, on true social and comments he made.
In fact, I think even as we speak, Starmer is collecting 24 nations to at least begin a starting conversation about what they would do to replace America if our Navy and military didn't have the responsibility of keeping open the Strait of Hormuz or at least maybe getting more aggressive with that against the Iranians.
Did that strike you as odd last night?
He was quite, I thought, gentle on NATO and the other allies that haven't pitched in here.
He just told me, he says, hey, you've got to chair it.
For those of you that take the oil out, And drive your economy, you've got to cherish this, you know, almost like you've got to hug it.
I think reports leading up to the speech, everyone expected that he was going to once again, as you said, he's done many times, go hard on NATO and talk about how they have not supported the United States, about how Starmer isn't helping, Macron isn't helping, really very little support from our European allies for this operation in Iran.
But surprisingly, he did not say much about NATO at all.
But he, I did see that he had a Follow up conversation with a reporter clarifying why he didn't talk about NATO.
And he said that the United States doesn't need NATO, we'll be fine without it.
But that, of course, he would like to see a lot more involvement.
And we've, of course, heard him say many times that the United States has been there for NATO, but NATO has not been there for the United States for many years.
Cortez, we've got you on here for a new documentary.
I've got to ask you, you were one of the leading voices of We Can't Pour You, that the vital national security interests of the United States has nothing to do with the Russian speaking border in Ukraine, but it has everything to do with the border, the southern border of the United States of America.
Your assessment right now of this geostrategic situation we're in in Iran, how it plays into Ukraine, and particularly Bloomberg's out with a huge story.
That I promised to get you about the 2027 budget is coming forward.
It looks like this budget has a large deficit in it.
Part of that's because of an increase in military spending.
Your thoughts on that in the economy, sir, before we turn to your documentary?
Yeah, the fiscal aspect of all this is very key, Steve, because, you know, look, we are fundamentally anti interventionism.
We believe in an America first philosophy of realism and restraint.
But even if you are pro intervention, even if you think this war is justified, if you're in that Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee, John Bolton, world, and you want ground troops and you want regime change.
Well, we also have to be realists about our financial ability to pay for it because we are doing this with borrowed money.
We are $39 trillion in debt.
Bond yields have shot higher since the war began.
In other words, the bond market is saying we are demanding more to loan you the United States money because you are now getting so militarily adventurous and it is so insanely costly to do so.
$200 billion and counting the request right now on the war.
That's real money, okay?
That's the budget of major states for an entire year in the United States.
So this is, it's about New York State to be specific.
So this is a serious financial issue.
And what I, you know, I think the onus is on the people who are pro prolonged war, who are pro intervention, whether it's in the Black Sea or the Persian Gulf.
Why should we be so intricately involved across the oceans in places that I would argue are not strategically important To the United States.
They're important to other people, maybe important to our allies, but not important to the United States, and that it's worth borrowing the money and that it's worth risking a fiscal nightmare scenario.
You know, right now, as we speak, 10 year yield is up to 4.3%.
It's sustaining well above 4% now since the war started.
It's almost touched 4.5%.
What I would stipulate, Steve, as a guy who traded bonds for 25 years, if that 10 year yield gets anywhere near 5%, we've got a massive problem on our hands, and a prolonged war will put it there.
Because already our biggest expense, even bigger than defense, at least in normal times, now the war might change this, but in normal times, even bigger than defense is interest on our debt.
So the reality is, we have to be grown ups here.
We can't do everything we want because we don't have the money.
So if this is worth doing for a prolonged period of time, and if this is worth boots on the ground, not only do we have to make the case, not only do the war folks, pro war folks, have to make the case why it's strategically important, but also is it worth borrowing this much money to pay for?
And is it worth taking?
An already tough economy for regular Americans, working class people before the war, very deeply, deeply unhappy with the economy.
Is it worth risking making that economy far, far worse for working class Americans?
Listen, I mean, bond yields have moved steadily higher, but they have done so in a reasonable and rational way.
There are no breakdowns in the bond market, there's plenty of liquidity there.
So it is a very orderly transition.
But nonetheless, that doesn't mean that it's not perilous for the United States to see debt.
Uh, markets are demanding more and more premium, meaning more and more interest from the United States this way.
Uh, send and by the way, sends all the interest rates in your life higher, whether it's a credit card, uh, or a mortgage, or a car loan, it doesn't matter what it is.
All of that based off this barometer 10 year yield.
So, yes, it has been orderly, but that doesn't mean it's not painful.
Short break, Jared and Gorman, in this regard, she joins.
A long line of Americans who have been killed, ruthlessly killed by illegal aliens in totally preventable crimes.
It's a tragic sorority of sorts of women who became victimized at the hands of assailants who never belonged in our country and wouldn't be here if it weren't for radical Democrats.
I'm talking about people like Kate Steinlee, Lakin Riley, Sandra Duran, and now Sheridan Gorman.
There seems to be a disconnect in the country, Cortez.
The Democrats, it's almost beyond perverse.
I mean, they not only support this, they push it every day.
And you can see this that we did for the entire two hours yesterday without interruption, commercial interruption, or anybody coming in, because I thought it was so powerful, did the 14th Amendment.
And I was shocked at the lawyer from the ACLU and also some of the judges, some of the questions.
But talk to me about this new doc, because this is the thing that I think people.
People with common sense and love of this country are just going to say, We've had too much of this, enough of this, and we have to get so much more aggressive.
You know, the Mass Deportation Coalition formed about a month ago, put out their action plan.
It's 100 pages, folks, and we're going to have people from the coalition on here to break that down for you.
But I believe the American people are getting more and more fed up with this, particularly as you see the dangers to our economy, the dangers to our community, and particularly the personal safety.
Yeah, so Sheridan Gorman, 18 year old freshman, Loyola University in Chicago.
She's from New York State, beautiful young American woman with her entire life ahead of her.
She's very involved in her campus ministry group there at Loyola.
By all indications, just a fantastic young person.
She and her friends were hanging out on what is seemingly a very safe beach and pier next to Loyola University, a pier out into Lake Michigan trying to look at the northern lights at nighttime.
And Jose Medina, an illegal alien, Who was arrested at the border and then sent internally into this country by Joe Biden ends up in Chicago.
He commits more crimes, is arrested by the Chicago Police Department.
And the cops, and I don't blame the cops, the cops in Chicago, unable to cooperate because of the dem political leadership of that city and state, unable to cooperate, hand him over for deportation.
He should have been out of this country.
Steve Jose Medina also has tuberculosis, came in with it.
We are paying to treat him.
We are also paying for his apartment.
He has a lakefront apartment very near that beach.
So, this Cretan that we are paying for, who doesn't belong in our country, gets his hands on a gun and totally unprovoked kills in an absolute horrific tragedy, kills Sheridan Gorman.
This story has been almost completely ignored by legacy media.
Even in Chicago, Steve, when I went there, I found people in Chicago didn't know the story, or they just knew vaguely, oh, a girl was killed at Loyola.
They had no idea that it was an illegal alien killer who had been picked up by the Chicago Police Department.
So, I think it's crucial to shine a light on this.
That's why I got on a plane, I went back to Chicago.
And said, we need to show the scene of the crime.
We need to talk about her life.
I interviewed a longtime Chicago policeman, a fantastic guy, 32 years on the force, John Garrido, who talked about how frustrating it is for law enforcement.
And if you look at that sad lineup of young American women, beautiful young American citizens killed in the prime of their life, some of them young mothers, all of them with bright futures ahead of them, this list has to stop.
Sheridan Gorman has to be the last one.
But she's not going to be if we don't expose what happened to her, if we don't talk about who she was.
Who Jose Medina is and why he was allowed to perpetrate this heinous crime in the United States and who his collaborators were.
And there's a lot of them it's Biden, Harris, Mayorkas, Mayor Johnson, Governor Pritzker, Governor Newsom.
Unfortunately, I can go on and on.
And Steve, you're right.
Not only are the Dems not backing down, not only are they not trying to find a more reasonable place on these issues, as a matter of fact, they're doubling down on the migrants.
Governor Pritzker went so far as to try to blame this tragedy on Donald Trump.
Is he now claiming that Trump's not deporting enough people?
I mean, is that legitimately what he's going to try to say to us now?
So we have to expose this.
That's why I did this documentary.
It's at CortezInvestigates.com, Cortez with an S at the end.
If you go to the documentary section, this is the newest one.
It's only 11 minutes long.
It's free, of course, everywhere, no paywalls.
Please watch it and share it because the regular media is ignoring this.
And this can't be something that only right wingers who are really politically engaged know about.
We need every American to know about this.
And I also want to talk to the parents out there because I think this is critical.
Uh, parents or grandparents, when you're sending your kids or your grandkids off to school, consider where you are sending them.
Do you want to send them to a so called sanctuary city or a sanctuary state?
Is it a good idea to send them to California or Illinois or New York right now, given this environment?
Because these kinds of tragedies keep happening.
I think that needs to at least be part of your calculus in terms of where you send your children, where you send your money.
Uh, but this story needs to be amplified, Steve.
So that's and I thank you for doing it, of course.
And I need the help, I need the help of the posse.
And patriotic Americans everywhere to share this story so that people know this shouldn't even be that political, Steve.
I will tell you this too Rogers Park, that neighborhood, is the most radical left wing neighborhood in all of Chicago.
You couldn't believe how much grief I got while I was filming from the locals there, telling me to get lost, giving me the finger, telling me migrants welcome, not caring that days before at that very beach, an 18 year old American woman was killed in cold blood, more concerned with their leftist politics.
So recognize that's the political opponent that we're up against here, not just at the elected level, but even.
At some of the activist sort of voter level as well.
Because the Chicago Police Department is not allowed to cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration.
So even though they knew that he had a detainer, they are not allowed by the political leadership of Chicago and the state of Illinois, they are not allowed to cooperate with ICE.
So he was not deported.
And because it's a no cash bail state, on top of it, Steve, he's released on his own recognizance.
I mean, literally just released, okay, from prison.
Not only not deported, but just sent back out of the community and sent back to his apartment that an NGO, a non governmental organization funded by the taxpayers, Is paying for.
You know, Steve, by the way, lakefront addresses, as you might imagine in Chicago, are very sought after.
You know, you know how many folks, how many Americans who live on the west side of Chicago in some crummy apartment would love to live right near the lakefront?
They're not, but Jose Medina is, and he decided to kill an American in cold blood after being arrested, not just at the border, but then being arrested again in the city of Chicago for shoplifting.
That's exactly right because they called him uh an illegal migrant, which of course is exactly correct.
That's what he is, he's an illegal migrant.
They apologized and said that they should have called him undocumented.
Loyola University, which was once a great Catholic university, once a great institution, key part of the city of Chicago, over 150 years old, magnificent piece of real estate.
Right on the lake.
It has been disgraceful through this whole episode.
It's done everything it can to not even talk about this story, to not honor its student, its own student.
You would think there would be such a sign, such signals from the university of remorse.
How could this happen under our care when you're supposed to be in loco parentis to some degree?
You are the parent now of this young lady.
You utterly failed to protect her.
But they are more concerned with political narrative than they are with protecting their own students.
And sadly, Loyola, like most Catholic universities in America, long ago, Has forsaken its mission to be an institution of true higher learning and an institution that spreads the faith and instead is committed to leftist narrative.
And it's really, it's despicable.
And that's why I thought it was important.
To my knowledge, I haven't seen any media go on the scene and produce content there and tape there and show the pier and show some of the memorials to her.
And her life deserves to be honored, Sheridan Gorman.
It was too brief, of course, but it deserves to be honored.
And the reason we need to expose this heinous crime is to prevent it from happening again.
Again, there should not be another family like the Gormans who has to suffer this horror of having to bury a child, the worst thing imaginable for any parent anywhere.
And this was 100% preventable.
This did not have to happen, and it keeps happening.
That's why I wanted to put it in context, in historical context.
Unfortunately, this isn't rare, it's not rare at all.
And these illegals are abusing us in all kinds of ways, right?
We know economically, for example, they're abusing us so much in the labor market.
So, the everyday abuses, those are not okay, of course, but these kinds of horrific violent abuses are the worst of all and need to be highlighted.
And so, I hope people will know this story.
I hope they will reconsider where they send their children or grandchildren away to school.
And I hope there will be increasing public pressure on local and state officials who are more interested in a narrative and protecting illegal alien criminals than they are in guarding the safety and well being of Americans, including precious young women.
By the way, I said earlier, BirchGold.com, promo code Bannon.
Promo code worm, promo code banner.
Make sure you get that.
The eighth free installment's out.
I'm going to try to, in this afternoon's show, get to this Bloomberg story about the 2027 budget and what it means financially for the United States, and particularly the budget projections, what they say about deficits and how deficits.
Remember, the Secretary of Treasury's one of his top priorities was to get from 6% of GDP, right?
The budget deficit down to 3%.
We're going to talk in this budget about what kind of progress we're making, what it means for you.
The eighth free installment is about the US dollar.
Make sure you get it today.
Birchgold.com, promo code BANNEN, end of the dollar empire.
Okay, we're going to have the Tina Peters team on or try to get them and some of the lawyers on this afternoon.
It looks like the appeals court.
Has said this felony stand, but they've remanded it back to the trial court, the district court for resentencing.
We'll find out what all that means.
And we'll have the team on this afternoon to talk about it.
Obviously, Tina Peters is a top priority.
I think the appeals court did reject President Trump's pardon.
So, Peter Tickton and the team, I'm sure, are going to go back to work on that.
For the chapter, 845, make sure this Medicare system is put together patchwork.

Mary Holland, Make America Healthy Again.
It's a central part of our coalition.
I'm not so sure we're tying the coalition together, although at CPAC, we had so many of the MAHA folks, particularly on Sunday, and it really came off well.
Well, there were some wins I want to talk about, Steve, in terms of free speech.
So, there was a consent decree that was just reached in Missouri v. Biden, and it gives a consent decree for 10 years that the government cannot collude and pressure and coerce the big social media platforms, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, X, to force the content on them.
That's an important win.
It's over 10 years.
You know, some of the plaintiffs went on to be in the government, Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorf.
But that's an important win.
We had a lawsuit at Children's Health Defense, Kennedy v. Biden, that was consolidated with that case, and we settled with the government.
And they acknowledged, President Trump, as soon as he came into office, acknowledged in an executive order that the Biden administration had been in violation of the First Amendment, censoring speech.
There was also a really important win that does relate to MAHA yesterday from the Supreme Court or two days ago Salazar versus Childs.
And that's Childs versus Salazar, sorry.
And that was an 8 1 decision.
And that was about what's called conversion therapy, about talking to young people about their sexuality, as a case in Colorado.
And even Justice Kagan wrote in a concurrence that you can't suppress one side of the debate and then have the other side be open.
A therapist can't say, oh, explore your sexuality and then say, but you can't try to overturn your own.
Attractions of people of the same sex or wanting to be different sex or whatever.
So that's a triumph that we think will lead to really favorable decisions in two cases that we have about suppression of medical speech, one in California, one in Washington space.
So that's sort of bright news in the MAHA coalition right now, but I can tell you about some of the issues.
On the conversion therapy, explain to the audience what's the connection.
Between allowing, I guess the judges didn't say they approved of conversion therapy, but that if you have one set of therapists or having people get in touch with their inner feelings about their gender and their sexuality as a free speech, you can't cut off another group.
Is that correct?
Is that basically it?
They didn't say they agreed with it, but they said you should be able to have the availability of it, right?
And they said that therapists, doctors, professionals should be able to exercise.
Free speech.
They were suppressing this therapist's speech.
And that's dangerous to all of us, Steve, right?
If we can't have open communication with our doctors, with our therapists, like what happened in COVID, we're in terrible trouble.
And so we expect now, based on this Supreme Court decision, that our case in California, where first the state and then the medical board tried to suppress accurate speech around COVID, we're expecting that that case is now going to be decided favorably, probably sent back by the Supreme Court.
But it's incredibly dangerous when a state says to a professional, particularly a doctor, you can't have this speech with your patient or your client.
So that's what it's about.
Even Justice Kagan, who probably doesn't agree with the outcome, said it's a straightforward First Amendment issue.
And Justice Sotomayor joined with her.
The only dissident there was Justice Jackson, who in Missouri v. Biden had said what I consider to be bizarre things about how, you know, we can't let the First Amendment hamper the government.
No, that's the whole point.
Is that the government doesn't get to take sides because we in this democracy believe in the free marketplace of ideas.
Well, let me tell you where there's sort of clearly, you know, there has arisen kind of this issue within the MAHA MAGA coalition, and that is around the use of the pesticide glyphosate.
Glyphosate is a poison, it's intended to kill pests, bugs, and it's really harmful to humans.
It's especially harmful to children.
Steve, we wrote an amicus brief that we filed yesterday with the Supreme Court saying the Environmental Protection Agency is required to have a 10 times threshold for dangerous products for children because children are so much more sensitive when they're developing than adults are.
And they really haven't lived by that.
And so the administration, the Trump administration, has put a thumb on the scales, and the Solicitor General is siding with Monsanto, now owned by Bayer.
To create federal preemption and to basically disallow lawsuits and state regulations of glyphosate, saying that it is a national security issue.
And it's complex, Steve, as you can well appreciate.
Most of the glyphosate is coming from China.
We need to develop our own sources.
We can't change farming overnight.
But the reality is that this is a poison, and we're now really abetting the use of it through either this Supreme Court decision potentially or through this executive order.
So many people in the Maha movement are not happy.
There is going to be a demonstration when there's oral argument on this case in the Supreme Court on April 29th.
Steve, he went on Rogan and said, you know, he's not happy with this executive order, to put it mildly, but he, Is a good soldier, and this is the position of the administration.
And he explained it on Rogan, and I think very effectively that it is an issue of transition of American farming.
They can't get rid of glyphosate right away, and we understand that.
But we actually don't think that the environment, we, Children's Health Defense, don't think that the Environmental Protection Agency has done its job on this.
But if I could, Steve, I'd like to address one other issue that's controversial in the MAHA world, and that's the issue of electromagnetic radiation.
And on this issue, Secretary Kennedy is really moving forward to create a panel.
We are going from 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G in the Wi Fi antenna tower space.
There is a really strong effort in existing legislation and even now by FCC regulation to have total federal preemption.
What does that mean?
It means that local communities who know their needs best have no control.
And an antenna can go in a schoolyard, it can go on a firehouse, and it can cause real harm, potentially, especially to children.
Because developing children have different bodies, they have different needs, and radiation is a serious carcinogen and it has other health effects that are really serious.
Mike Davis, I know you're super busy and you spent so much time with us yesterday going on.
I hated to do this, but I got to get your opinion since you were one of the very first people to bring this up.
The New York Times has an article today.
And correct me if I'm wrong, I think they're actually saying that ActBlue and what you said, this has been a couple of years ago, I think now.
About taking money from foreign donors and giving it to Democratic candidates may actually just not only be a fact, but actually ActBlue may have lied in trying to cover up.
Is the New York Times actually got it?
It's hard for them to have a favorable article, but is this actually kind of start to reveal some truths of what you and James O'Keefe and Natalie Winters and others, Mike Benz, have been arguing for a long time is just nothing but an organization that funnels foreign money into an American election, sir?
This New York Times story is pretty damning for Act Blue because it shows there's evidence, including memos between Act Blue and its attorneys at Covington and Burling, a very prestigious Democrat, you know, white shoe law firm in Washington, D.C., one of the best firms in the world.
There's memos in this reporting where Covington's attorneys are advising Act Blue that there is potential criminal.
Misconduct with how they are handling these donations into Acts Blue.
And there's also evidence that the leader of Acts Blue provided false testimony to the House investigation of this in 2023, the House committee that handles election law.
So this is very, very bad for Acts Blue.
And this is going to turn into.
I imagine it will turn into criminal indictments by the Justice Department by a lot of people, including potentially this former head of Act Blue.
Because I want to get to you in the next block and talk about Covington and Burling.
It's Eric Holder's law firm.
It's one of the most prestigious and powerful law firms in the nation's capital.
It is also a lot of the muscle on the back of the Democratic Party.
To know that they're involved here and warn these guys about it shows you, and even for the New York Times to report on it, and the New York Times try to tamp it down as much as possible.
But if you read between the lines, this is about as explosive as you can get.
And it proves that people that pushed this and tried to expose this for years, who were called conspiracy theorists and wing nuts, it turns out, guess what?
They're right.
And the very tough lawyers over at Covington understood that and were warning people about this internally.
So we're going to take a short commercial break.
By the way, Birchgold, a lot of turbulence in the markets.
I've got Philip Patrick up over the weekend to talk about that.
We're going to talk about more of the fiscal situation of the American economy today, particularly where it's going and where it's going.
What I mean is locked in on these budgets, what these deficits are.
We'll discuss that.
Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire.
The eighth free installment specifically dealing with the United States dollar and the pressure on it from all over, not just BRICS, but also from this massive spending.
Everything about that.
Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon.
Make sure you go today.
No obligation, totally free.
Mike Davis on the other side.
Okay, Mike, we got a lot to cover and only a couple minutes to cover it.
First off, this thing on ActBlue, this is huge.
It looks like you're right.
I think you're seeing criminal indictments in the future.
Why is the New York Times right this?
Covington leaked this to them?
Because they're the democratic muscle in this town.
The Colorado Court of Appeals, while upholding her conviction, and it's a bogus conviction, but at the end of the day, they reversed the sentence and remanded it back to Mesa County District Judge Matthew Barrett, who is a horrible human being.
Who put Tina Peters in prison, this 69 year old woman at the time in prison for nine years, nine years, because this judge, Matthew Barrett, did not like Tina Peters's political views on the election.
That is a clear First Amendment violation, as the Colorado Court of Appeals just said in its order.
This gets sent back to this piece of garbage judge, this fake Republican rhino garbage.
Human being of a judge who put a 69 year old woman in prison for nine years because he's garbage.
And I'm a member of the Colorado Bar, so they can file their barking plates so I can tell them to go F themselves.
This garbage judge put Tina Peters in prison for nine years because he didn't like her views on the election.
You can't do that in America.
We don't live in China.
And so they're going to give this garbage judge the opportunity to fix this.
If he doesn't fix it, then I imagine that the governor is going to face tremendous pressure.
Governor Jared Polis is going to face tremendous pressure to commute her sentence.
I think the Court of Appeals just did that for Governor Jared Polis.
Governor Jared Polis wanted to commute her sentence.
And he also wanted to drop the income tax in Colorado down to zero.
I mean, he's not really a leftist.
He's basically just a gay libertarian.
But, you know, whatever.
That's the best we can do in Colorado.
But he gets this set back to this garbage judge, Matthew Barrett.
Let's hope he does the right thing here and frees Tina Peters.
Immediately, then Jarrett Paulus doesn't have to do the dirty work of commuting Tina Peters' sentence and take the wrath from his lunatic left wing base.
And so let's just get her out of prison.
This woman has suffered way too much.
She is a political prisoner right now, as the Colorado Court of Appeals, these Democrat appointees on the Colorado Court of Appeals just made that crystal clear.
She is a political prisoner.
Tina Peters is in prison right now because she was politically.
Persecuted because of her First Amendment beliefs, because this garbage judge in Mesa County, Colorado, Matthew Barrett, openly, he's stupid enough to openly punish Tita Peters because of her First Amendment protective views.
This guy is an idiot.
He should not be on the bench.
I hope that Harmite Dillon opens up a federal civil rights criminal investigation on this judge, Matthew Barrett, because he's a garbage human being.
One of the action items, go to Take Action, and it's to light up the Colorado people, light up Governor Jared Polis, and help him find and keep his backbone and keep the pressure.
On these judges, like garbage judge Matthew Barrett's, and get Tina Peters out of prison immediately.
Yeah, it's a shame she's not out yet, but the biggest political prisoner.
And by the way, this goes back to Arctic Frost, too, by our own government attacking the people in Colorado, including Tina.
And so as we pray for her to get out of prison, I think everybody, let's just pray.
Pray, pray and we and everybody's trying everything they can.
