Episode 5306: Disbarment Of John Eastman; The Corporate Corruption Of Music
Stephen K. Bass opens the April 16, 2026 episode by framing John Eastman's California disbarment as a "leftist Marxist capture" of institutions, where Eastman calls the trial a "kangaroo court" violating First Amendment rights. The show shifts to Joe Allen detailing Live Nation's Tennessee monopoly conviction and corporate spying, then features Amy Kramer warning that federal AI preemption threatens Florida's new AI Bill of Rights amidst chatbot-linked tragedies. Mary Holland concludes by alleging Big Pharma and the New York Times are attacking the Make America Healthy Again movement against vaccine mandates, which she claims cause millions of injuries including autism. [Automatically generated summary]
John Eastman, that entire ecosystem from the top colleges that feed into these programs, the law school selection process, the professors, the recruiting system of the big law firms, how you're training these big law firms, and now the federal judges, the state judges, the state Supreme Court.
This ecosystem leads itself to a radical takeover.
It's been taken over by these neo Marxists, and this is by far the most effective part.
Of what the left has.
This is why MSNBC covers this 10 times more than CNN.
MSNBC is part of it.
They are inextricably linked as the propaganda arm for this radical movement that is attempting to really take over the country.
In fact, I would argue they've taken over the country.
It's the Trump militia that's fighting back.
You now have seen it when the Supreme Court of California just gives a two word thing yeah, disbar him, get rid of him.
We want to silence him.
Your thoughts on the entire system and how we fight back?
Well, you know, our brief to the California Supreme Court hit very important federal constitutional rights, the freedom of speech.
I mean, look, Steve, one of the charges against me was because I commented about illegality in the election, said it was widespread on your show back in January of 2021.
And they said that was false because the election was perfect.
The size ahead said so.
And I knew that.
So I was lying.
And, and, and, You know, of course, none of that's true.
But the fact that they would disbar me for, among other things, speaking on your show or writing an op ed or giving a speech, this is core protected First Amendment rights.
And urging the vice president to do something about the illegality, that's core right to petition the government for redress of grievances.
And that they would do this in a disciplinary proceeding that was the longest and most expensive in our nation's history, in all likelihood, before a judge who was just dripping with animosity throughout the 10 week long trial.
And a reporter named Rachel Alexander watched every single day.
You actually broadcast some of the proceedings yourself.
Anybody that watched those proceedings just came away stunned at how one sided it was.
Hearsay evidence coming in on the other side, left and right, and being blocked on my side.
One of the key issues was whether any reasonable lawyer would have filed the Texas versus Pennsylvania original action in the Supreme Court.
And we offered the briefs of 17 different states' attorney generals that did exactly the same thing I did.
And she said those were not relevant.
But the briefs on the other side of that very same case that took issue with us were all admitted into evidence.
I mean, this is how lopsided the thing was.
And so that's a federal due process problem as well.
And look, we've got to be very clear here.
This is much bigger than my own bar license.
What's going on here is a leftist Marxist capture of our institutions and then weaponizing them to destroy any political opposition to the deep globalist state that is getting entrenched in this country.
And because I stood up to illegality in the 2020 election, other than President Trump himself and perhaps Rudy Giuliani, I've become target number one because I won't stop talking about the illegality and trying to shine a light on it and be like Paul Revere warning our fellow American citizens of what's about to happen if we don't fix this.
John, where do people go to get more information on this?
Because you're absolutely 100% correct.
And it's ironic, exactly the moment that the information is coming out from Tulsi Gabbard and others of which we're pursuing and what's happening in Georgia.
And John Eastman's got a major case in front of the Supreme Court on birthright citizenship is when they disbar him.
I want to make sure people go to your site to find out more about this.
Also, any way that they can help or assist you and get the understanding of what your fight, what your battle plan is for the fight ahead, sir.
So I wanted to have you on here because we have Paxton on this afternoon.
We had the Attorney General of Tennessee yesterday.
This case of Live Nation is huge because the first time in 45 years, a jury of basic everyday Americans sat in judgment of one of these concentrated power corporations and they said, This is an illegal monopoly.
But as I told people as soon as that, I said, Joe Allen probably knows this better than anybody.
Because tell us from the deck plate level, because riggers are not top of the food chain, I take it.
It's the most dangerous.
What is a rigger?
How dangerous?
And how did you see how this was a legal monopoly?
So I started to notice it in the late 2000 teens, but it's sort of like, you know how the Chinese Communist Party will send Han Chinese to go live with the Uyghurs?
You see the family photo, and there's a light skinned Asian guy photobombing the Tibetans or the Uyghurs.
It was like that, except for it was a corporate guy in a polo shirt that would be on the tour bus and watching what everyone was doing, listening to all the conversations.
On the one hand, he's, I guess, seeing how efficient the system is from a business level.
But on the other hand, they would oftentimes interfere and kind of meddle in the affairs of the touring personnel.
So, I mean, one of the only things you have on a tour is your crew on a tour bus, right?
Like that tribe is what makes the grind so bearable.
But The Live Nation guys, yeah, I mean, just on that level, you had, again, just that whole corporate mentality.
We want to make sure that everything's clean, everything's polished, everything's efficient.
And it went into the music industry itself.
You can see it with all these different artists the Katy Perrys of the world, or the Catches of the world, or the Lady Gaga's.
And I think Live Nation represents like the ultimate in what people like Roger Waters would be singing about with, you know, The Wall or Welcome to the Machine, that kind of disaffected attitude towards.
The entire industry because it really does just suck the soul out of you.
The attorney general of Tennessee was Scarmetti, who was one of the leaders of this, and we're going to have Paxton on tonight.
He said what struck him and shocked him because remember, they had to step in the middle of a trial, which never happens because it's so complicated.
He said what shocked him was that to get witnesses.
He said they had so many people at so many different levels, not just the ticket side, but also the promotion side, that wanted to come through with tales of horror.
But they said, I can't do that.
I'll be destroyed.
This is a machine that will destroy you.
What are your thoughts about that?
He says, Hey, it was tough to get witnesses because these guys are like the mafia, right?
If you step out of line, You're going to be out of the business.
Well, another example would be they had a song called The Now Generation.
I could sing every lyric of it, but this was 2010, and it's basically one of the lines was Google is my professor, Wikipedia checker.
You know, just like the whole thing, it was like an ad, right?
Like you could imagine E.T.'s slimy little hands and Reese's pieces dropping into it.
Basically, the whole thing was an ad for techno culture.
And then, of course, Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas.
Now he's like a frequent flyer at the World Economic Forum talking about AI and futurism.
So I guess I was calling that.
But I wrote an article about it.
It blew up.
And I had only just left, but they were furious, furious, as you can imagine.
I mean, basically the argument was that working as a rigger for the black eyed peas would be like working as a lumberjack cutting down the redwood forest.
By the way, HometitleLock, make sure now that you got AI and cyber, add to that a rogue lawyer, accountant, a rogue relative.
It's pennies a day, but go talk to Natalie Dominguez's team.
HometitleLock.com, promo code STEEV.
They got a special deal for you.
Go check it out.
Talk to Natalie Dominguez and the team over there.
More than ever, because the oligarchs can't help themselves.
They have to have total control.
And they're going to try to come at us a different way on this amnesty at the federal level.
Because Amy's going to join us a second.
DeSantis, I think, is being heroic down there on this topic because he got jammed up a little bit in his house.
And he just says, hey, how about this?
Suck on this, and we'll bring you back for a special session, and we're going to grind it out there.
But here in the imperial capital, your thoughts, because you're out now full time with these guys, and you're seeing everything, and you turn out to be.
One of the most political savvy of all of them, even on the left, because a lot of these guys are great on the actual problem.
But this is a foreign, and you can see this even with David Sachs and the arrogance of the oligarchs.
They walked into town and said, Hey, there's all these mediocre people in Congress.
We can just jam things through.
But the politics of it, you've really become one of the savants of this.
What you've learned in five years from your rigor days to today, and inside this whole movement of keeping the oligarchs basically, you know, we're not decelerationist, but we are decelerationist.
You know, we're anti accelerationist.
You are one of the leaders.
And I think that speaks a lot to you, but it also speaks to how we are, quite frankly, outgunned because these guys have every lobbyist.
They've got the most savvy people.
And you see how they pop up all the time.
My point is, we've killed this thing.
We killed the big, beautiful bill version.
We killed the NDA version, which must pass.
The framework that came out from the White House, we shredded that, right?
Essentially.
They're now looking at a different aspect of how to get David Sachs has been fired because of his arrogance and incompetence, but they don't stop.
They don't stop because this is the fight for ultimate control, is it not?
Amy Kramer, Alex McCoy, Jeremy Ornstein, people like this watching how politics is really done at the grassroots level.
Because these guys, what's really amazing is how ham fisted they can be.
They've got all this money, they're very insulated.
So you have someone like David Sachs who's saying that AI is one of the most, if not the most, consequential technologies of all human history.
And while he downplays the danger, all the tech CEOs who he's defending say that this could also be one of the most, if not the most dangerous, Technologies on the planet.
And so, as he's balancing that, he says also these companies should be regulating themselves.
That they, or any regulation that is passed must not interfere with the expansion of these companies and the acceleration of these technologies.
Nobody, you know, I talk to a lot of working class people, a lot of people who are not exactly on the cutting edge of political rhetoric, and none of them are falling for this.
Nobody would be stupid enough to say, oh, you know, Pfizer should regulate themselves.
Kraft Foods can't even regulate themselves.
And so, why, with this extraordinary technology, even if it's half as powerful as it's being described now, would you allow that to happen?
And so, they're pouring all of this money.
You know, there was an article that came out in the Financial Times just the other day.
Joe Miller talking about the hundreds of millions of dollars, not just leading the Future Pack, but all of the assortments of lobbyists and dark money organizations, hundreds of millions.
If I recall correctly, he had added it up at that point to something like 500 million, maybe it was 300 million.
I apologize that I don't remember it off the top of my head.
It's growing so much that if it's not 300, it will be 500.
And so, with all of that money, you're talking about just endless ad campaigns, and they're losing people every day, but they got to do it.
Right now, if you see the ads, is that, oh, if you're against this, you're for China, which is the biggest lie in the world because they're the guys that are also providing the entire ecosystem for the Chinese Communist Party.
And if you look at that next to, there's an article that came out in TechCrunch two days ago by Sarah Perez.
Looking at three of the latest polls that have come out over the last few months.
One, the Stanford AI Index, which showed very clearly that while experts are by and large optimistic because they're the ones working on this and pushing it, the public is very much not optimistic about this, not in education, not in medicine, and certainly not for social life.
The same thing you've got in Gallup, for instance.
Gallup found that even among Zoomers, you have a real kind of dismal sense of what AI is going to lead to.
And these are kids that have grown up basically with this technology.
It's not that they're not exposed to it.
And then Pew also had a poll that showed that half of Americans believe not only that AI is not going to be good for education, so on and so forth, half of them know, believe, I'll say, but I think no is more appropriate, know that this technology is going to be terrible for creativity, terrible for social life.
So the people are on our side.
And in a republic or a democracy, that is what is supposed to happen.
There was a special session called for April 20th for redistricting in Florida.
What he did was he amended that and changed it to April 28th and added his AI Bill of Rights to the redistricting.
And so, what he's done, Steve, is he's putting everybody on notice, you know.
In a legislative session, there's all kinds of time things die through committee.
You know, they, I mean, there's procedural things they can do, but it died in the House.
It passed in the Senate, I think 38 to 2 or whatever.
And, but the Speaker wouldn't bring it to the floor.
So Governor DeSantis has called him on the carpet and he says, we're going to put it in a special session.
And it's basically going to be an up or down vote.
And this is what's key.
It's condensed four days, April 28th through May 1st.
And these people, their primaries are not until August, right?
So, you bring this legislation to the floor and you force these members to vote on it, yes or no.
I don't know anybody who would want to go out there and be in a town hall or on a debate stage or a candidate forum and answer the question, why did you vote no against protecting children, but to protect big AI?
And so, DeSantis, Governor DeSantis, I think he is the best damn governor in the country right now, honestly, that he is doing this.
And look at what has happened in Florida.
We've had a 14 year old boy, Sewell Setzer, die by suicide.
At the encouragement of a chatbot.
A 36 year old Jupiter man died by suicide at the encouragement of his chatbot, quote unquote, wife.
And then it was just released last week that the shooting in Florida at Florida State University, which is one year ago tomorrow, that gives me chills.
Two men died and eight were injured.
And ChatGPT was allegedly used to plan that shooting.
So much so that three minutes before the guy actually took the shot, ChatGPT told him to take the safety off his gun.
And that is according to So, the Florida Attorney General is investigating and they're going to subpoena.
Yeah, what I'm seeing, especially on this, is you've got any of the federal legislation that's meant to preempt the state legislation.
I'm assuming all of it will be completely defanged.
If Marsha Blackburn, God willing, were to pass the Trump America AI Act, that has teeth all up and down.
But you saw it with COSA, you saw it with GARD, and even with Take It Down.
I mean, I think we have one conviction with Take It Down so far.
I mean, how many millions of instances?
Yeah, I think that one effect of the federal preemption is any state laws that really have the power to gum up this machine will be preempted by soft and unenforced laws at the federal level.
DeSantis has done a wonderful job of really sticking it to these companies.
And if you really read the laws that are being proposed in the AI Bill of Rights, I don't even see how it's really going to gum up industry all that much.
What, to make deep fakes, producing a technology that allows you to make deep fakes?
It's going to be in the National Press Club in D.C. We've invited Senator Hawley and Senator Blackburn and also the attorney, Laura Marquez Garrett, who is representing a bunch of these families against OpenAI and all these companies.
Well, the building behind me back in June of 2024 was when President Trump made that announcement of no tax on tips that came through a camp.
Conversation he was having in one in his hotel in the restaurant there with a waitress.
She claimed, Mr. President, if I had more money, in other words, if I can keep the tips that I get, it would make a huge difference.
And just days later, that came up with the policy, the new tax policy, no tax on tips.
So President Trump will be making his way here to the AC Hotel Symphony Park, just down from the World Market behind me at four o'clock.
I'll have a round table to talk to area firefighters.
Police officers and a gentleman who owns a barbershop that has said, Steve, keeping his tips and not paying tax on them, I made a big difference in his life.
You know, you typically, when he makes it out this way west, he will stay at his hotel.
And especially if there's another event the next day, instead of traveling to Phoenix, he'll just do an overnight here in Vegas and travel into Phoenix tomorrow, which is what he's doing.
Now, Luke and myself, we don't have that pleasure and that luxury, Steve.
After today's event at 4 o'clock, we're going to get jumping on rent a car and drive across the desert southwest and head to Phoenix to Dream City Church.
And that's where the event takes place tomorrow.
2 p.m. local time there with the Turning Point USA folks and President Trump delivering a message on faith.
Bobby Kennedy is up on Capitol Hill Test Friday, and we're going to do polls for that tonight for the five o'clock show.
But the New York Times has an article, and I find this extraordinary that I think the New York Times hates you and the Make America Healthy Again founders more than they hate the MAGA founders.
They're saying now Bobby Kennedy helped create this movement, Make America Healthy Again, but it's kind of an albatross.
It's really bringing him down.
It's the thing that's really destroying Bobby Kennedy, it's not Big Pharma, it's not Big Ag, it's not the food processing companies, it's not All their lobbyists and their factotums here in the imperial capital.
In fact, it's the Make America Health again, essentially, the moms that have really come out and made this a movement and a coalition partner with MAGA.
They basically hate children's health defense and they lie about what's really happening in the world.
This is sort of in part about this new political poll that came out.
Progressive left poll of close to 4,000 people that found that 46% of the American people say mandates are dangerous, they're damaging, and vaccine science isn't settled.
And of course, science is never settled.
So we're reaching a tipping point.
And the New York Times is going to stay with orthodoxy and the narrative that vaccines are safe and effective and they save lives until the bitter end.
The reality is we have a massive epidemic of vaccine injury.
1.4 million kids are harmed by vaccines.
Every day, vaccines cause autism.
They cause ADHD.
They cause allergies.
They cause seizures.
They cause autoimmune disorders.
And it's just time we have to deal with reality.
And that is what a part of the MAHA movement is doing.
There's actually polling now that shows the American people are starting to come our way in a massive amount.
You're basically at a tipping point.
The New York Times and all of big media is owned.
If you don't believe me, just watch, and you can cut the sound off so you don't have to hear it, but just watch MSNBC starting in prime time.
Two thirds of the advertisement are from Big Pharma on diseases and problems people have that you can't even imagine.
I mean, it's bizarro land.
You kind of think about who's actually watching this channel.
So, the New York Times and MSNBC and all the left wing media is owned by Big Pharma, which is a shift from 20 years ago.
But they're saying now that their concern is that you've now convinced American people just to look at the evidence and no science is ever settled because it evolves with new information and facts.
And the thing they're most freaked out about is the vaccine mandates and the vaccine schedule, which is Bobby Kennedy's got it under assault.
Some of the political people around President Trump have looked at other polling.
Of course, we had the Brownstone guys on and yours.
Which tells a different story.
If you were with the president right now, would your recommendation, Mary, be to let Bobby off the chain that if you want to win in November, not just hold the House and the Senate, but maybe pick up a seat or two?
Maha's there, they're fired up, they're ready to go, but we need leadership and we need to be speaking truth to power.
I just think that the Fabrizio poll from December got it wrong.
I think that was a very pharma oriented kind of nonsense poll.
I think this Politico poll, basically going against their interests, shows that half the country thinks that vaccine mandates are damaging.
That's what the polls show, right?
That's what Politico's polls show.
So I think that Trump's pollsters just got it wrong.
And I think candidly, it makes him look like he's shrinking back from his endorsement of. Kennedy.
So, but you know, it's a political decision, and obviously, Kennedy is part of the Trump administration, and he has to go along with what the president says.
I just think we got to get the real numbers in front of the president and other people, and I think they're going to see the Maha and the New York Times attacking you today so viciously as Bobby comes to the Hill.

Mo Bannon, and I'm going to hold you through the break.
Mo, on Sunday, and the response has been overwhelming, but we're going to take everybody and their family.
We're having a gathering, and we're going to have a massive, great time to thank.
All the folks who went door to door, plus others.
If you're just part of the war room posse, come on down.
Want to meet you, shake a hand, maybe take a selfie, have a hamburger or barbecue, free food.
President Trump's en route with Besant, or going to be en route, not en route yet, going to be en route to Vegas, and then he's going to a Turning Point event tomorrow.
That'll be during our show in the afternoon.
Mo Bannon, one more time.
This on Sunday, here's what it is: both a thank you for all this, because it wouldn't even be competitive without the grassroots writing to the sound of the guns.
There was no money here.
The money that's raised on the Republican side, once again, is the grift of the consulting class to put up TV ads that don't work against $80 million of what the Democrats had, because they have to have this.
This is now a must-have for them.
And just the Patriots out there have gone door to door.
And made voter contact is nothing short of historic.
We want to have a make sure we thank everybody, talk about strategy, get people jacked up for Tuesday, which is game day, election day, and then talk about, you know, and kind of plan, begin the planning for November.
Because nothing is written, as they say in Lawrence of Arabia.
You make your own destiny, you make your own future.
That's what human agency is about and why divine providence works through human agency.
And so, all these naysayers say, Oh, we're going to lose it.
We're going to lose it.
We've got a long way to go, and a lot's going to happen.
A lot of wood to chop.
There's going to be a lot of water under this bridge between now and Election Day.
So, that's what I tell people don't get too far ahead.
Look at what's in front of you.
And nobody's responded better than these patrons in Commonwealth Virginia.
So, one more time, if you're War Room posse, you want to meet these heroes, even if you didn't go door to door, it's not a problem.
We want to meet you and want to talk about game day and also talk to you about November and what's ahead for us.
The free speech absolutist, Elon Musk, because we kick his ass every time he engages him.
Like we've kicked his ass in this artificial intelligence situation.
You know why?
He may be a genius engineer, but he's an 11 year old boy and everything else.
Thank you, Mo Bannon.
Appreciate you.
Thank you, Trevor Comstock.
People absolutely love your company.
I think it's the reason that you take so long in the process for putting new products out, then the products are all handcrafted and they're manufacturing with American material and American workers.
Uh, and then they'd love it, they respond to it.
You see that on your site with everybody that comes back and all the, I mean, Tage Gills got 18,000 five stars.
You're a year or two and back at Tage, but the response you've gotten from folks is pretty overwhelming.
I did want to quickly mention we had a lot of folks reach out asking if we can extend the tax day sale.
Obviously, people were pretty busy yesterday.
So we are extending the tax day sale through today.
So you can still use code TAX at checkout for 20% off any one time order.
Just wanted to mention that.
Also, our creatine.
Product has been extremely popular lately.
The reviews have been amazing on it as well.
And for anyone that doesn't know, creatine is really unique because it is one of the most studied and effective nutrients available.
And it supports things like brain health, memory, as well as cognitive function.
So it does help your brain produce more energy, which can do things obviously like improve clarity and mental focus.
So really, it's just perfect for anyone looking to stay sharp and alert, especially if you are sleep deprived or fatigued.
And then, Aside from that, what's great about the creatine is that it's also amazing for physical performance.
So, it essentially helps your muscles produce more energy, especially during a high intensity exercise, which means you can lift heavier, you can train harder, you can recover faster, which is pretty remarkable.
So, yeah, the product's really just amazing for anyone looking to boost memory and focus while supporting muscle strength and recovery.
Like I mentioned, it is one of the most studied supplements in the world.
So, it's pretty powerful.
I take it every day.
I love it.
I always feel amazing on it.
And, like I said, the reviews on it specifically have been pretty incredible as well.
I think maybe Kevin Posobic live from, I think Kevin's in Northern Ireland today.
He's going to be there at least through the weekend on this revolt in Ireland.
You got Gruber.
You've got Eric Bowling.
We're going to be back at five.
A lot to report.
I'm actually giving a speech this afternoon, but.
We're going to be doing the five o'clock show.
I think Ben is actually may step in to do the sixth.
There's so much breaking on the Pope and what's going on between the Pope and the president that Ben will be taking on at six to do a kind of a special focus on that from Rome.
And so stick around for Charlie Kirk.
We're going to get back to tomorrow, is also break down what's happening in this on the in the war, particularly the naval blockade.
What does it mean for the Chinese Communist Party?
What does it mean for you?
How can we bring this thing to a close?
Pack up and get the hell out of there because the Middle East is a sideshow.
In Israel, this entire situation over there is a sideshow to a sideshow.
It's time we end this thing, wrap it up, declare victory, and bring our boys and girls home with a win.
Take the win.
I want to thank Birch Gold.
Take your phone out right now.
Text Bannon, B A N N O N 989898.
The ultimate guide for investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump.
It's not the price of gold.
It's those converging forces that drive the value.
