Bannon's War Room - Episode 2119： President Trump Complied While The DoJ Lied; The Grid Is Failing And We Must FIX California; James O'Keefe： The New Rule For Journalism, 'You Will Be Raided'

00:00:00.000 Filing also reveals the Justice Department sought a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago after

00:00:05.060 obtaining evidence that highly classified documents were likely moved and hidden

00:00:10.320 and that Trump's representatives had falsely claimed all sensitive material

00:00:14.800 already had been returned. The DOJ filing states, quote, the government also developed evidence that

00:00:20.900 government records likely were concealed and removed from the storage room and that efforts

00:00:25.660 were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation. It goes on to state three

00:00:30.920 classified documents that were not located in boxes but rather were located in the desks in the

00:00:36.400 45 office were also sealed, end quote. The DOJ also included a picture, this photograph,

00:00:43.360 of the documents seized during the FBI's search of the former president's Florida estate,

00:00:48.400 several of which clearly are marked top secret. In all, the filing says more than 100 unique

00:00:54.680 classified documents were seized and some of the documents were so sensitive, FBI agents and DOJ

00:01:01.080 attorneys needed additional security clearance just to review them. The DOJ filing reveals the FBI

00:01:08.220 recovered twice as many classified documents than were returned by the Trump team, casting doubt over

00:01:15.980 their claim that there had been a diligent search following the grand jury subpoena in May.

00:01:21.320 Okay, so Ryan, a question for you about what we know so far. And stop me if it's something we don't know.

00:01:30.920 We do know that Donald Trump had these documents and he has not denied that he had these documents.

00:01:37.920 Am I correct?

00:01:38.720 No, yeah, I think you're right. He has made some assertion that he had declassified some of the

00:01:46.540 documents in regards to, quote unquote, Russiagate. But I don't think he has a bigger excuse for having

00:01:51.800 all of these classified documents, which is clear from the filing are not really just solely about

00:01:57.100 Russiagate. There's a ton of information included.

00:01:59.380 So it's also true that there were issues and delays in returning these documents.

00:02:07.940 So if those two points are true, is that in itself any type of violation right there? Just what we

00:02:17.640 know so far?

00:02:20.340 It is, but I think that, you know, when you're making a prosecutorial decision, typically in

00:02:24.320 these cases, there has to be some sort of aggravating factor. And I think that the aggravating factor

00:02:29.640 here, which the Department of Justice's memo last night speaks to, is the idea that there was

00:02:35.700 interference with an ongoing investigation. And that seems to be what they're solely focused on.

00:02:40.840 You know, there was some, I think that getting back the documents was an important component of

00:02:44.840 this investigation. But clearly from the filing last night, that's not solely what this is about.

00:02:50.360 This wasn't only about getting these documents that belong to the government back. This was about

00:02:55.600 an obstruction of justice investigation, because Donald Trump had all of that warning. He had

00:03:01.100 ample warning over months and months that these documents did not belong to him. Even after

00:03:05.840 receiving a grand jury subpoena, he continued to hold on to a boatload of classified documents.

00:03:12.120 I can't, I can't take any more. We do this every morning. By the way, it's Wednesday, 31 August,

00:03:17.220 year of our Lord, 2022. Not every morning, we do it many mornings, so that you can see the way that

00:03:24.120 the legacy media frames things and then wash, rinse, repeat all day. So we want to make sure

00:03:29.420 you, you hear what their perspective is, because they're trying to drive the narrative for the

00:03:34.040 country. To start off, we've got Boris Epstein. We're going to have Ambassador Rick Grinnell

00:03:38.440 and Mike Davis to talk about this. Also, I've got Steve Cortez and Ambassador Grinnell. They're

00:03:43.780 going to talk, Ambassador Grinnell is going to talk about California, which he's trying to save.

00:03:48.000 And Steve Cortez has got amazing things on Illinois. We're going to talk about two blue states

00:03:52.720 and what the people there think about the living conditions in those blue states as they,

00:03:56.800 as they hurry to red states throughout the country. Just an absolute debacle. We've got

00:04:01.780 James O'Keefe, Carrie Lake to show us PAC today. I want to go to Boris. So Boris, the entire media

00:04:09.560 world is on tenterhooks, as I think Mediaite described it, at midnight when this comes out.

00:04:14.920 I don't say, I don't want to say this is much ado about nothing, but I'm going to say it's much

00:04:21.300 ado about nothing. This is, like I said, of all the ones that they've tried to sell the American

00:04:25.780 people and have the Sturm und Drang, this is, looks like the most pathetic. Can you walk us through 0.96

00:04:31.780 exactly what the reality is here? Steve, honor to be with you. Honor to be with the War Room

00:04:37.820 Posse this morning. Wait, Steve, you're telling me that these supposed super duper secret sensitive

00:04:45.680 documents that they found that they needed extra clearance for, they had to bring in the super

00:04:52.200 clearance people. You're telling me that those documents they then threw on the floor, ransacked,

00:04:59.200 took pictures of, and put those pictures in a filing for the whole world to see? You're telling me that

00:05:03.680 doesn't make sense somehow? Oh, that's real good law enforcement there. Yeah. Hey guys,

00:05:09.720 we found this real information that nobody could see unless they had top super secret clearance.

00:05:15.440 And by the way, we took pictures of it, including the filing. And now literally anybody and everybody

00:05:20.260 on planet earth and any other planet there's life can see them. Good job, guys.

00:05:24.800 Hold it. After you spread them out on the floor, you took them out of the location they were in,

00:05:30.140 you spread them out on the floor and then take, and then take some of that. And some of the deranged

00:05:34.480 libs on social media say, no, no, no, they found them like that. Wrong. In the filing, it says took

00:05:39.960 from container, took from container. So they found, they took a box. And by the way, this is box 2A,

00:05:46.660 which in their inventory was like this big thing that was super important inventory, the really

00:05:52.160 incomplete false inventory they put out. Where's the nuclear? Where's, where's, where's the,

00:05:55.840 where's the Q code? Where's the Q classification? Where's the nuclear? That was so big, so urgent.

00:06:01.240 As Donald Trump put on truth just a couple of minutes ago, as President Trump put on truth.

00:06:04.860 Yeah. Where's nuclear? That got leaked two over two weeks ago, two and a half weeks ago. They said,

00:06:09.240 oh yeah. This was the urgency. This is why they had to kick down the doors. Remember,

00:06:14.040 this is why they had to go. Oh, of course they had 18 days to do it, but this is how they had to do it.

00:06:18.840 Let me go back out a thousand years here, and this is very important. You know, for those who are not

00:06:23.580 lawyers, of course. We'll stop, we'll stop goofing. We'll stop goofing on it and, and, and get a little

00:06:28.980 more gravitas. This was, first of all, let's not forget that the amount of space they had was supposed

00:06:34.900 to be 20 pages. They asked the judge and the president's team consented to go to 40 pages.

00:06:39.340 So they used about 35 pages of space. First 20 of them are just reciting of every, of most things

00:06:47.800 they've already stated that the judge already knows. This judge asked specific questions of

00:06:52.220 the government. Why do you oppose the special master? Instead they go and say, well, back in

00:06:56.680 the beginning of 2021, and they go through, you know, their supposed version of the facts, which by the

00:07:01.840 way, on page two, they, they, they concede the biggest issue in this whole ordeal, which is that

00:07:09.520 the Presidential Records Act is the only stat that applies to the, a president and dot, dot, dot

00:07:16.880 presidential records. Okay. So they say this is all into the Presidential Records Act. Then they try to

00:07:22.500 do this mental jujitsu, as we've talked about, to take the Presidential Records Act and bolt on

00:07:26.480 enforcement mechanisms from others, because the Presidential Records Act, my dear friends, does not

00:07:31.400 have an enforcement mechanism. So they concede that the Presidential Records Act applies. Then they go

00:07:37.860 through a history, which by the way, if read correctly, shows President Trump's full compliance

00:07:42.100 and cooperation. Then they throw a couple of nuggets in there. Oh, we may have seen something on video

00:07:47.380 and we thought maybe something just isn't right. But under the Presidential Records Act, that's when you

00:07:52.680 continue dialogue, continue, continue, continue conversations and say, okay, what else may there be?

00:07:57.660 Let's, let's, let's take a look. And President Trump, remember, at the end of the June 3rd meeting

00:08:01.060 said, let us know if you need any other, any other help. Let us know how else we can help you.

00:08:06.360 Instead, they wait two plus months and they go and raid and ransack his house, take a bunch of 0.87

00:08:11.720 documents. And by the way, Time Magazine covers, because that's some other top secret information.

00:08:16.660 Take a bunch of information, take a bunch of documents and throw them all over the floor,

00:08:22.720 spread them all over the floor, and then take pictures of them and put them out to the world.

00:08:25.800 So the bottom line is this, this filing was an embarrassment for the United States government.

00:08:30.060 And by the way, an embarrassment on top of other embarrassments, like the Washington DC special

00:08:34.840 agent in charge being walked out, perp walked out of the FBI embarrassments, like the unsealing of

00:08:40.580 the, of the warrant, which showed that the wrong statutes apply here. And the big embarrassment,

00:08:45.320 which is the raid and break-in of President Trump's home. So this filing was just another long line

00:08:49.820 of embarrassment for this weaponized law enforcement. And it shows that they don't have a leg to stand on. 0.97

00:08:55.340 And you know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Does anybody in their right

00:08:58.960 mind think that if the government had a real, a real reason, had backing for raiding the president's 0.89

00:09:05.620 home, that they would have, they would release this ridiculous picture? Absolutely. And a thousand 0.94

00:09:11.020 percent not. That picture was released because the government knows they are off balance, they're

00:09:16.840 off base, and they're wrong. And they were wrong to break into the president's home.

00:09:20.800 By the way, I just sent to our production team on Getter, I just posted the Daily Mail is breaking

00:09:27.240 a story that the rank-and-file and the FBI are calling for the resignation or firing of

00:09:32.280 Ray, that they think that the leadership's become too political.

00:09:36.140 With good reason. I mean, now, now the floodgates, you know, you hear the whistleblowers, you've

00:09:39.900 got, uh, you've got Garland's.

00:09:41.000 Oh, and by the way, yesterday you had Merrick Garland send a shot across the bat of whistleblowers

00:09:45.140 saying, oh yeah, very important to follow all the rules of communications with Congress.

00:09:50.000 Boris, I know you got a bolt, but I got Rick Grinnell up here to talk about the energy crisis

00:09:53.620 in California, but I want to bring Rick, Ambassador Grinnell, because he was the interim head or

00:09:58.440 the temporary head of DNI. He knows this better than anybody. Ambassador, thank you for joining us.

00:10:02.720 We'll get to California in a second. Uh, but tell me, just give me your assessment. You've seen

00:10:06.700 the finaling, you've seen the meltdown of the media. Give us your assessment of this, sir.

00:10:11.360 You know, Steve, first of all, when you played the clip of MSNBC, I was shaking my head because

00:10:17.520 it was a really important moment to see what the left is saying. They have completely changed

00:10:23.680 their tune on what the charges were. Remember that first it was classified information and

00:10:30.280 it was national security information. And now it's an obstruction of justice. They don't

00:10:36.620 know what they're doing at DOJ. They are grasping at straws. And, you know, this is the same crowd

00:10:42.720 that told us Russian collusion, the FISA warrant, Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.

00:10:49.680 Look, I'm glad to see that the rank and file FBI agents that I know well, that I have looked in the

00:10:56.580 eye to say, did you classify this information? Did you redact this information? And they would look at

00:11:02.020 me and say, nope, I didn't do it even though my name's on it. My bosses did it. And so there is a

00:11:08.040 belief that we need a gut renovation at DOJ and FBI leadership. The leadership is not serving the actual

00:11:17.200 agents and the actual employees who really want to do good work, who don't want to be partisan.

00:11:22.920 I'll just say on this Tim Tebow case, the FBI agent who's now suddenly Chris Ray is finding

00:11:30.000 that his politics is too much. We've known that this individual was partisan and manipulating

00:11:38.260 government for years. Chris Ray knew this for years. The only difference now is that the pressure

00:11:44.940 on Chris Ray is so much that he's going to have to start throwing some of these individuals under the

00:11:51.980 bus. And that's exactly what Chris Ray is doing. He's trying to save his job like all people in

00:11:56.340 Washington when they finally have enough. Let's be very clear. Chris Ray knew that FBI agents were

00:12:03.360 being very partisan and weaponizing the FBI, and he didn't care until it impacted his job. And that's

00:12:10.940 what's happening right now. Now, in terms of the classified information, hope, what I have to say is

00:12:17.720 it's very clear that these documents are all paper documents, not digital. And I think that's a very

00:12:24.040 big deal. The staged photo shows paper, paper documents. And what I would say, Steve, is that

00:12:33.380 the DOJ has been so reckless. Whoever staged this photo and whoever approved it to be released

00:12:42.300 is so unprofessional and so reckless that they should actually be fired. Congress should get

00:12:49.860 involved in to say, we do not want FBI agents who stage photos and then release them to the public

00:12:57.060 like a spin document. This is dangerous. We need to understand that all of these documents were

00:13:06.680 declassified and held in a former president's office. By the way, former presidents have US government

00:13:15.020 funding in their offices. Therefore, their offices are government property. This stack of declassified

00:13:25.240 paper documents were guarded by the US Secret Service. All of the kvetching that we hear on NBC and MSNBC

00:13:35.340 and the legacy media. There are examples of people saying, you know, you and I would be arrested if

00:13:41.540 we handled classified information like this. Well, yeah, you weren't the president of the United

00:13:47.080 States. All of these people comparing them to the president of the United States is laughable.

00:13:52.860 You would get arrested if you did this because you don't have the authority to declassify the

00:13:57.920 information like the president of the United States did. So we're dealing with declassified information,

00:14:04.020 paper documents, not digital, like Hillary Clinton's problem. Hillary Clinton was never 1.00

00:14:09.240 president of the United States. He didn't have the authority that Donald Trump did. They were digital

00:14:14.780 documents. They were not guarded by the Secret Service like in the way that Donald Trump's offices

00:14:21.280 are. And so therefore, there's a huge difference. And what did the DOJ do to Hillary? One big yawn. 1.00

00:14:27.020 Okay. Boris, just hang on for one second. I got one question to put to you about the buried lead

00:14:33.140 Ambassador Grinnell just found. Okay. Short break. Boris, we've got Ambassador Grinnell. We're

00:14:37.540 going to go to talk about the grid and energy in California and also the diaspora out of Illinois.

00:14:44.300 Cortez and Grinnell next in the world.

00:14:58.700 You know what's never good? When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely

00:15:05.980 misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation. Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen

00:15:12.160 has finally admitted, quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy

00:15:17.360 that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly

00:15:22.860 that I didn't at the time fully understand. End quote. You know who understands the real threat of

00:15:30.700 inflation? People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group. They're protecting their

00:16:23.520 war room pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon

00:16:32.140 hide. War room pandemic. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:39.900 Okay, welcome back. Boris, Ambassador Grinnell got right to the heart of it, why we did that cold

00:16:45.720 open. At the end, they start talking about an obstruction of justice case. This went from

00:16:50.180 nuclear secrets are going everywhere. The sense of urgency, you got to go kick it down.

00:16:54.740 Is that pathetically where DOJ is gone right now? Is that what they're trying to sell to the American 0.50

00:16:59.520 people? Rick, as always, is a thousand percent correct. No doubt about it. Remember where we were

00:17:06.080 three weeks ago, right? To the day, three weeks ago, and I believe it was the Wednesday after the

00:17:11.040 raid that the Washington Post, by the way, had never been confirmed by any other outlet. And as you hear

00:17:15.680 from reporters behind the scenes, I'll tell you that was very questionable reporting by the Post. They

00:17:19.680 said, oh, nuclear is somewhere there. Well, now we've seen the warrant. Now we've seen the redacted

00:17:26.960 affidavit. And now we've seen this 40-page primal sad scream from the DOJ. There's no nuclear anywhere

00:17:35.340 in there. No Q classification anywhere in there. They admit everything falls under the Presidential

00:17:40.440 Records Act. Don't allege really any crime. And all they talk about and all you see, you know,

00:17:44.880 George Conway all hopped up or whatever he's taking, talking about on CNN, is obstruction,

00:17:50.960 which is what the DOJ default to when they get crushed on claiming crimes. Literally, if I close

00:17:57.440 my eyes, I can pretend I'm living in 2017. And you got people on CNN, MSNBC screaming, oh, we got him

00:18:03.940 now. We got him now. Then we don't have anything. Oh, obstruction. Well, obstruction has been crushed

00:18:10.580 time and time again on the Russia hoax, and it's being crushed here. And remember, just last week,

00:18:15.440 that memo came out, signed by head of the legal division of the DOJ and by the Deputy Assistant

00:18:23.660 Attorney General. And it said specifically, it said specifically by Ado Callahan, no two ways about

00:18:30.960 it, that in the Russia hoax, there was no underlying crime and there was no obstruction. No underlying

00:18:38.800 crime, no obstruction. So the play they ran with the Russia hoax is the same exact play they're

00:18:44.240 trying to run now, and they are failing miserably at it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is just another

00:18:50.380 political sad attempt by weaponized law enforcement to get President Donald J. Trump, but he's not going

00:18:57.340 to back up one inch. He's going to continue fighting and standing for the American people.

00:19:01.660 By the way, the great Jack Posobiec is watching us live over the Human Events Daily. He just tweeted

00:19:06.280 out Rick Grinnell's. Whoever staged that photograph, whatever FBI agents, and whoever

00:19:12.160 in Washington approved that to go out should be fired. Posobiec just put that up on Twitter.

00:19:17.440 I agree with that. Boris, how do people-

00:19:19.500 Well, let me add one more thing. Obviously, that picture, right, based on information that's

00:19:26.060 out there, is a picture of President Trump's home, but it's also home of a Secret Service

00:19:31.540 protectee. So were Secret Service policies violated and tweeting out inside the location

00:19:40.400 of a president of the 45th president of the United States? Since when is that okay?

00:19:46.000 So there's a lot to look through here, a lot to study here, but the bottom line is the DOJ doesn't

00:19:51.140 know whether it's coming or going, and they're going to get crushed in this robust filing that's

00:19:54.820 coming tonight by eight o'clock for President Trump and his team.

00:19:56.920 Look, we're going to fight this tooth and nail because it's ridiculous, but this is a diversion.

00:20:02.160 They're trying to divert us away from what the reality of what's really going on in the

00:20:05.380 country, and particularly to make sure that everybody in the country knows what's going

00:20:08.380 on. Boris, real quickly, what's your social media?

00:20:10.560 No doubt about it. BorisCp.com is the website. Sign up right now on BorisCp.com, hot on BorisCp.com,

00:20:16.260 hot on Getter at BorisCp, on Twitter at BorisCp, hot on Truth Social at Boris, and of course,

00:20:21.160 hottest on the Grand Boris underscore Epstein. Stay strong, God bless, and I will see you later this afternoon.

00:20:26.920 Thank you. Ambassador Grinnell, now that we get, that's all, you know, we're fighting

00:20:30.280 this, but as you know, it's a diversion. I want to get back to reality, if we can put

00:20:33.580 the tweet up. You know, you've started this group called Save California, I think it is.

00:20:38.620 Fix California.

00:20:38.920 And you're trying to get people, Fix California, you're trying to get people to register to vote,

00:20:43.120 but man, this thing on the, how can the, you know, arguably the greatest state in the

00:20:46.980 union with the seventh biggest economy in the world, this tweet yesterday, and you sent

00:20:51.380 it to me, it looks like, is California devolving into a third world country as far as energy?

00:20:55.440 For our audience podcast, the TV audience can see it. Can you just read what the highlights

00:20:59.020 are of that tweet, sir, and why it's got you so worked up?

00:21:02.920 Yeah, look, let me, let me be clear. Steve, we, we are being asked here in California to

00:21:09.600 conserve energy because it's getting hot. And that's what happens in August and September.

00:21:15.440 It gets hot. And so they're telling us to unplug our, our kitchen appliances and to turn the

00:21:25.400 thermostat to 78. They're literally Gavin Newsom's only policy is about conserving energy. Now,

00:21:35.360 let me, let me be clear. Before I went to Harvard, they asked me to come a little bit early to go to

00:21:40.540 dummy economic because I wasn't great at economic, let's be clear. But I pretty much know what supply

00:21:47.080 and demand is about. And the reality is, is that policymakers can either tell you to conserve

00:21:54.560 or they can increase supply. This is what's happening in, in California. We live on the ocean,

00:22:02.100 but we have no, we don't have enough water. So they're telling us to conserve. They're not interested

00:22:06.700 in the supply. Now we're seeing this with role with possible rolling blackout and a conserve energy

00:22:14.440 policy because we don't have enough supply. It seems to me that politicians should work on the

00:22:21.220 supply issue, which is exactly why the Biden administration has skyrocketed gas prices because

00:22:30.160 they're not working on the supply. What people need to understand is you can either build up the

00:22:35.600 supply or you can tell people to conserve. And what we're doing in California is only conserving.

00:22:42.740 Now, we all know that we want to conserve, but you can't have that as a policy. We can't conserve much

00:22:48.560 more. Our grass is brown because we're not allowed to water. Now we're going to be hot in the middle of

00:22:54.600 months and we're California, Steve. We got to fix this problem. And that's why I launched this

00:23:00.040 FixCalifornia.com. I hope people will go sign up. We're doing multiple things. We're trying

00:23:05.340 to clean up the voter rolls in every single county, challenging each county to comply with federal

00:23:12.660 and state laws, which they're not doing. I just got handed to me from a friend a ballot from somebody

00:23:19.780 who seven years ago lived in California, moved to Washington State seven years ago, informed the

00:23:27.180 state of California they were moving. They registered to vote in Washington State seven years ago. And this

00:23:33.480 summer, they got a ballot. Now, that happens in California all of the time. Gavin Newsom knows

00:23:39.940 it happens. They want this reckless mail ballot situation. And so what we're trying to do is fix

00:23:46.880 California in a variety of ways. Please go to fixcalifornia.com, sign up. We're also trying to

00:23:53.300 register conservatives. We're trying to empower them to say, get off the sidelines, get registered.

00:23:59.080 We are going to be very creative in how we do this. Register to vote. Don't sit on the sidelines.

00:24:06.040 We found 1.4 million conservatives sitting on the sidelines, unregistered in California. We've got to

00:24:11.800 change that.

00:24:13.220 Rick, real quickly, what's your social media so people can follow you during the day?

00:24:16.480 Rick, real quickly. On truth, it's at Grinnell, G-R-E-N-E-L-L. And on Twitter, it's at Richard

00:24:23.120 Grinnell. And there's friends of Richard Grinnell on Facebook.

00:24:27.940 Ambassador, thank you very much. I want to make sure it stands. Ambassador Grinnell came back from

00:24:31.600 Germany for President Trump to actually start to fix this situation with the national security

00:24:37.040 apparatus. So thank you for your work and look forward to fix California going forward in the

00:24:41.580 future, sir.

00:24:42.060 Ambassador Grinnell, can we play Steve Cortez's, I think it's appropriate, Tom, we'll get to Mike

00:24:50.280 Davis in a moment. I want to play Steve Cortez's chalk talk because I want to compare California

00:24:54.600 to Illinois.

00:24:56.800 Patriots, when many people think of Chicago, they naturally think of food. And you may think

00:25:02.200 of Portillo's, one of the most renowned purveyors of Chicago items like Chicago-style hot dogs

00:25:07.180 and Italian beefs. Portillo's, which is still headquartered in Illinois, is expanding

00:25:12.000 all over the country, but primarily in places like Arizona and Texas and Florida, and not

00:25:17.300 in its home state. When questioned about this, here's what the CEO of Portillo's had to say,

00:25:21.840 quote,

00:25:22.100 We're going places where the population is growing, economies are healthy, and there's a

00:25:27.060 great environment for companies. Unfortunately, none of that is the case in J.B. Pritzker's

00:25:31.760 Illinois. Now, inflation is a national issue, primarily created by J.B. Pritzker's ally,

00:25:36.920 Joe Biden. But Pritzker, the trust-run billionaire, is making it massively worse in the state of

00:25:41.660 Illinois. Let's look at the numbers in a chalk talk brought to you by Getter. These are average

00:25:45.420 gas prices for Illinois and surrounding states. On average, Illinoisans pay 60 cents a gallon

00:25:51.540 more than the five states that border Illinois. This is evidence of the total financial mismanagement

00:25:58.700 of the prairie state by J.B. Pritzker.

00:26:03.440 Steve Cortez, this is signaling, you know, tomorrow night, Biden's going to get up on the

00:26:07.920 stage and talk about the semi-fascism of the MAGA movement. The reality is the country's in a

00:26:12.720 financial implosion, right? An economic implosion, about to have a financial implosion. And you have

00:26:17.140 two great states. California is like a third world country with rolling brownouts, blackouts, 0.99

00:26:21.620 and hey, cut the thermostat up to 80. Illinois is, I actually think, worse. Steve Cortez,

00:26:26.500 is this not the signal of what radical democratic government gets you?

00:26:32.400 100%. And Steve, we know this because people are quite literally voting with their feet and leaving

00:26:38.160 these blue jurisdictions. They're leaving California, which I often refer to as paradise lost. I don't

00:26:43.960 know that John Milton was thinking about California when he wrote that many centuries ago, but it really

00:26:48.600 is. Only liberals could ruin a land as blessed as California. But that's the reality. To connect this

00:26:54.360 discussion, by the way, to what we talked about yesterday with Main Street small business in

00:26:58.600 America having a crisis of rent delinquency, not surprisingly, three of the worst five states in

00:27:04.880 the country for rent delinquency are California, Illinois, and New York. Again, not surprisingly.

00:27:11.640 Regarding Illinois, my former home state, and this exodus out of Illinois, both businesses as well as

00:27:17.260 citizens toward places like Florida, it's fascinating. And this contrast, I think, is revealing.

00:27:22.300 As Joe Biden will get to a podium and try to claim that the America First movement, that patriotic

00:27:28.120 populism somehow represents fascism. And when it comes to governors, they most malign Governor Ron

00:27:34.520 DeSantis. And they call him a fascist. And they claim that he's instituting some sort of right-wing 0.63

00:27:38.840 tyranny in Florida. Well, that would be news to the masses of Illinoisans, the masses of New Yorkers,

00:27:44.860 of Californians who are flocking to Florida and similar states, the places like Tennessee, Tennessee,

00:27:50.660 and the west coast of Florida have effectively become Chicago South. Let me give you a number

00:27:55.500 to back that up. U-Haul rate. I think this is very telling. I hear the music. We can get to it after

00:28:00.120 the break. Yeah. I tell you what, hang on after the break. We're going to drill down on this more.

00:28:04.080 We've got Mike Davis. We've got the famous James O'Keefe, who's tangled with the FBI one or two times

00:28:10.860 with a blockbuster expose on education in this nation. Next in the world.

00:30:40.180 Okay. Normally, I have a flow to the show today. We're a little bit in and out because I'm getting

00:30:44.380 people as we can get them. I got the great James O'Keefe with a blockbuster. We're going to come on in a

00:30:49.540 second. Cortez is going to hang with me. We've got a lot more economics to go through.

00:30:52.480 Mike Davis has carved some timeout. Mike, I had Ambassador Grinnell, I had Boris, but I had to

00:30:57.480 get you on. Last night, and to add to the drama, the DOJ waited to release it, I think, around

00:31:04.240 midnight, right? They went back and asked, we need 40 pages. Can't do it in 20, need 40 pages

00:31:08.740 because some of those pages obviously had to be turned over to photographs. What is your

00:31:13.560 assessment, Mike Davis? You've been walking us through chapter and verse of what exactly reality

00:31:20.120 is here. Did anything last night in the DOJ's filing change your opinion of anything, Mike

00:31:25.360 Davis?

00:31:26.120 No. This is the same legal analysis I've had since this raid happened. This response to

00:31:34.960 the motion by the government confirms to me that the Biden Justice Department has a fundamental

00:31:41.920 misunderstanding of the law and the facts here. The president has the absolute constitutional

00:31:47.320 authority to declassify anything he wants. President Trump absolutely declassified these

00:31:53.460 records, both the January 19, 2021 declassification memo for crossfire hurricane and Russian collusion.

00:32:01.440 He had made statements prior to that for a broader classification, and he declassified these records

00:32:06.920 through his actions. The Biden Justice Department also has a fundamental misunderstanding of the law

00:32:12.880 law and the law that is well related to presidential records. There is specifically a presidential records

00:32:17.840 act that applies to former presidents and no one else. So these general statutes about government property

00:32:25.520 are trumped by the presidential records act. The presidential records act specifically contemplates that

00:32:33.440 former presidents can take records, make them personal, and there's no timeline for the president,

00:32:40.320 former presidents to give back these records to the national archives. Even if they're not personal,

00:32:45.600 there's also not a criminal component to the presidential records act. So for the Biden Justice Department to push these

00:32:53.360 legal theories that the president didn't declassify these records, or doesn't have the power to declassify these records,

00:33:00.160 or that the presidential records act is not squarely on point here, or the president doesn't have the absolute power as the

00:33:08.160 as the executive to handle records however he wants. They're going to create a collision course with the Constitution. 0.97

00:33:14.960 And at the third point about the obstruction, it is not possible for President Trump to obstruct justice

00:33:21.520 into these nine crimes. And so the final point is, is why is the government opposing a special master here?

00:33:28.640 They're saying that they've already done the review, there's nothing to see here. What's the problem with having an independent

00:33:35.280 special master appointed by Judge Cannon, an Article III judge, review their homework? If there's nothing to hide,

00:33:41.920 why are they trying to hide it? Why are they so opposed to a special master? Why are they having amicus briefs

00:33:47.840 filed from all these uniparty people in DC to oppose this? Why are they so scared of this special master? 0.66

00:33:54.960 And I think it's because they know that they went into this raid because President Trump took a

00:34:01.120 declassified personal copy of the Crossfire Hurricane Russian collusion documents, and those are highly

00:34:08.320 damaging politically to Obama, Biden, Hillary, Susan Rice, Clapper, the FBI, the intel community.

00:34:16.160 I just want to make sure we get to the signal in this entire thing. You said,

00:34:20.880 all this is going to fade away because they don't really have a case here. You know, the nuclear codes,

00:34:26.560 you know, the the Q documents, all of it. And eventually they'll get down to the to the last

00:34:33.120 refuge of a scoundrel, a prostitution of justice. Is that what they're going to try to sell now? 1.00

00:34:39.040 Because they basically understand your arguments are ironclad. Is what they're going to try to sell now

00:34:44.320 is an obstruction of justice case? This is what they do every time. It's always about the process

00:34:51.680 or the supposed cover up and not the crime. This was an investment. This was an illegitimate

00:34:56.320 investigation from day one, because they knew that president, the president had the absolute

00:35:02.400 constitutional power to declassify his commander in chief. There's a 1988 Supreme Court decision,

00:35:07.200 Department of the Navy versus Eagan directly on point. They know the Presidential Records Act is

00:35:11.520 applicable here. They know the Presidential Records Act allows the president to take personal copies of

00:35:16.880 the records as confirmed by a 2012 decision by the Obama judge and Tom Pitten and Judicial Watch's

00:35:24.160 lawsuit against Bill Clinton for his eight years of audio tapes and his sock drawer. They also know

00:35:30.320 with the OLC memo out of the Justice Department, what I'm saying is true, that you can, that President

00:35:36.240 Trump could not have obstructed justice with the investigations of these non-crimes. At best here,

00:35:42.720 what we have is a confusion on where the records were at Mar-a-Lago. Apparently, one of President

00:35:50.000 Trump's lawyers signed an affidavit saying that they've done it, they're doing a diligent search,

00:35:53.840 and they've got the records. There is no evidence that anyone intended to lie or obstruct here. And again,

00:36:00.560 these are non-crimes. Mike, what is your, thank you for carving time out, what is your social media

00:36:06.720 so people can follow you through the day? Yeah, thank you, Steve. It's article3project.org,

00:36:12.000 article3project.org, and it's at article3project, at article3, number3project on Getter, Twitter,

00:36:19.200 Truth, and then my personal is MRDDMIA, MRDDMIA. Thank you again, Steve.

00:36:24.400 Thanks, Mike Davis, for explaining all this. I want to bring in O'Keefe. Before we play the call

00:36:28.880 open, let me bring in O'Keefe for a second. James, he dropped. Okay, fine. Let me, I can go back to,

00:36:34.000 I can go back to Steve Cortez. James O'Keefe, we have him with this blockbuster about education,

00:36:40.240 but here's the key thing. James has had tangle with the FBI many times. And in fact,

00:36:45.280 the raid on James O'Keefe's house was, I think, just one notch down from Mar-a-Lago. So Steve Cortez,

00:36:52.560 let's go back to your analysis of Illinois and these blue states. Biden's going to stand on the

00:36:57.200 stage tomorrow night and literally trash in front of the whole nation. Their whole philosophy is to

00:37:03.740 pitch democracy, climate change, and abortion versus our immigration, inflation, the economy,

00:37:14.000 crime, and wokeness. What do you think is going to happen there? Well, Steve, look,

00:37:20.220 it's a massive attempt at diversion, clearly, because he does not want to talk about the reality

00:37:25.400 of life in America right now, which particularly regarding the economy is frankly miserable.

00:37:30.980 And that's not my opinion. That's the opinion of millions upon millions of American citizens.

00:37:35.860 Consumer sentiment has never been lower in the post-World War II era. I mean, think about that.

00:37:41.240 Think about all the crises that our country has endured since World War II. Consumer sentiment

00:37:46.040 has never been lower than it is today. Why? Because of the two I's, immigration and inflation. 0.87

00:37:53.100 We have effectively an open southern border, and millions of unvetted and uninvited trespassers are

00:37:59.540 pouring into this country in an absolutely uncontrolled manner. At the same time, we have an absolute

00:38:05.360 inflation explosion. We have inflation right now at 40-year highs in the United States. We have small

00:38:11.740 businesses who are floundering, who are struggling simply to stay afloat. According to the latest

00:38:17.180 survey from Alignable, 40% of small businesses in the United States could not meet the rent

00:38:22.920 obligations for this month of August. 40% overall. Even worse than that for restaurants, 46% of

00:38:29.600 restaurants. Even worse than that for minority-owned businesses, the majority, 53%, could not afford

00:38:35.000 their rent. Now, within the United States, though, thankfully, there are zones of opportunity. There are

00:38:39.860 places, all of them red states, where growth is real, and where, thankfully, opportunity abounds.

00:38:45.580 And because of that, there's this great migration going on within the United States. So while Joe

00:38:49.840 Biden engages in diversion and tries to call us fascists, guess what? Americans are voting with

00:38:55.200 their feet, and they are going to those very states, to those very jurisdictions that Joe Biden claims

00:39:00.100 are fascist. They're going to places like the Florida of Ron DeSantis. And let me give you some of

00:39:06.060 these statistics here. And I lay all these out in my new Newsweek article, where I talk about the

00:39:10.260 iconic Chicago chain Portillo's, which specializes in Chicago food, Chicago hot dogs, Italian beefs,

00:39:16.720 still headquartered in Illinois, but not expanding there, expanding in Arizona, Texas, and Florida.

00:39:22.440 Why? Because opportunity abounds there. And this isn't just a Portillo story. It's much,

00:39:26.920 much bigger than that. Let me give you some of these statistics, which I cite in that Newsweek

00:39:30.720 article, just before the pandemic. So if we go back to February of 2021, excuse me, of 2020,

00:39:39.140 just before the pandemic. Since then, according to the Wall Street Journal, red states have added a net

00:39:44.800 of 341,000 total jobs. So with all the difficulties of the crisis of the CCP virus, red states have still 0.96

00:39:52.780 managed to add net since before, putting it as a starting point just before the pandemic, 341,000 jobs.

00:39:58.860 In contrast, blue states, places like Illinois, places like California, have lost 1.3 million jobs,

00:40:06.600 according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:40:08.160 Give that stat again to the audience. That's powerful.

00:40:12.680 So if we use as a starting point just before the pandemic, just before the lockdown,

00:40:16.780 since that time, red states, or the Wall Street Journal, have added 341,000 net jobs since then.

00:40:23.420 And blue states have lost 1.3 million jobs since then. And this is reflected in all kinds of

00:40:30.360 statistics, both macro ones, as well as more sort of micro, almost anecdotal ones. Let me give you

00:40:34.360 one anecdotal one, which I think is very telling. And I mentioned it before. That is U-Haul rates.

00:40:38.140 It's actually a great way to look at where people are going. Where is the demand? Right now today,

00:40:42.620 if you rent a small truck, a one-bedroom moving truck, and you're making the move from Chicago to

00:40:47.520 Central Florida, Chicago one way to Orlando, and I cite this again in the article, that costs you

00:40:52.420 just over $2,400 to go one way because there's so much demand. To go in the other direction,

00:40:58.220 to go from Central Florida back to Illinois, less than a third of that. That costs you $712.

00:41:04.000 $2,400 versus $700 for the same route in different directions. That right there shows you where is

00:41:11.240 the demand? Where are people moving? And they're moving there, again, for solid reasons.

00:41:16.200 They're moving there for opportunity. And it's not even just, for that matter, Florida. As I point

00:41:21.720 out in my chalk talk, just the neighboring states of a state like Illinois, the five states that touch

00:41:26.320 Illinois, they have, since J.B. Pritzker became governor of that state, they have a growth rate

00:41:31.800 that is seven times greater than Illinois. Illinois has barely grown since J.B. Pritzker became governor,

00:41:38.840 0.5% GDP growth overall. The surrounding states, the average, 3.86% growth rate.

00:41:45.920 Next door, Indiana has 12 times the growth rate of Illinois since J.B. Pritzker became governor. So

00:41:52.920 again, people are very rationally voting with their feet. They are leaving New York and Illinois and

00:41:57.860 California, and they are going to the very places where Joe Biden would have us believe that the

00:42:02.360 fascists are in charge. Well, we all know that he is the real fascist and that the left, the people

00:42:07.840 who want to control our lives, who want to take our guns, who threaten us with F-15s. Okay,

00:42:12.560 we're the fascists? I don't think so. The real fascists are people like Joe Biden. And by the way,

00:42:18.140 I think that's an important point for us to focus on as well. The president of the United States

00:42:22.800 stood up yesterday and said, hey, all of you people who believe in your Second Amendment, who

00:42:26.740 believe in arming yourselves so that you can protect yourselves and your family against any

00:42:30.640 tyranny, whether it's a home invader or whether it's a tyrannical government, your guns are useless

00:42:36.200 because we have the weapons of war. We have F-15s, so you might as well turn your guns over. Well,

00:42:41.040 hell no, Joe Biden. That is the definition of fascism. That is despotism. That is one of the

00:42:46.840 most divisive things any president has ever said in the history of the United States. Now, he's

00:42:52.100 floundering. It's a massive diversion. He's trying to find, he's grasping, trying to find something to

00:42:57.760 fixate on, something to talk about, something for the American people to focus on other than this

00:43:01.540 economy. And in part, Steve, it's because his own polling is falling apart. If I can go to chart

00:43:06.440 number two, folks, if we can pull this up. Steve, hang on. I want to hold that chart to that. Let's

00:43:11.840 take a short break. I want to get into the charts. I also want to get into how can California ever come

00:43:16.200 back if they're doing rolling blackouts and brownouts on the grid? Energy is at the foundational

00:43:22.520 element of all of it. And if you're going to have these ridiculous policies, you're going to end up

00:43:28.080 being a third world country. And that's where California is going. Short commercial break. 0.99

00:43:32.480 We're going to return in a moment with Steve Cortez, go through some more economic analysis.

00:43:35.900 We've got Carrie Lake, Mike Lindell, James of Keefe all on deck.

00:43:39.380 The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.

00:43:47.740 Join the marketplace of ideas. The platform for independent thought has arrived. Superior technology.

00:43:53.780 No more selling your personal data. No more censorship. No more cancel culture. Enough.

00:44:00.980 Getter has arrived. It's time to say what you want, the way you want. Download now.

00:44:07.600 So then what do you do with the Catholics? If you find out someone's Catholic number?

00:44:12.180 That's true.

00:44:14.760 Teaching them how to think. That's it. It doesn't matter what they think about it.

00:44:19.020 If they think about it in a logical or progressive way, that becomes their own.

00:44:24.440 Like a, so you kind of like do it on top of it in a more liberal way?

00:44:28.040 Mm-hmm.

00:44:29.080 The whole movie, the more progressive teachers are actually more savvy about delivering a democratic message

00:44:38.960 without really ever mentioning politics. It's subtle. They'll never say, oh, this is a liberal

00:44:45.800 or democratic way of doing this. They'll just make that good work. This is how we handle things.

00:44:52.300 Like, it's subtle.

00:44:54.840 And that's how you get away with it?

00:44:56.300 That's how you get away with it.

00:44:57.840 And how do you make sure the parents don't write out?

00:45:01.240 They can't find out, so long as you've been for each other politics.

00:45:04.380 And then later down the line, you've been about to become, and you will have signed over your service to our adventure.

00:45:11.760 I want to bring in now James O'Keefe from Project Veritas.

00:45:17.880 That underground, that hit goes on.

00:45:21.080 James, of all the stuff that you've ever brought forward, I think this might be the most chilling.

00:45:24.800 Can you tell our audience who that was and what we were looking at?

00:45:27.900 Because once you know the facts, it is as scary as anything Project Veritas has ever done.

00:45:35.000 Thanks, Steve.

00:45:35.660 Yeah, this is a principal in the Greenwich, Connecticut School District.

00:45:41.760 And there he is on tape saying that he does not hire Catholic people.

00:45:47.020 He discriminates against people due to their religion.

00:45:50.220 He likes to hide what he really wants to do from parents.

00:45:53.680 And actually, I break some news on your show here this morning as I was sitting down here.

00:45:59.240 We have a statement from the superintendent of schools, one Tony Jones, this morning.

00:46:06.000 Sent an email out.

00:46:07.180 I'm going to read it to you.

00:46:08.020 Late last evening, we were made aware of a video that has gone viral with the current administrator from Coscob.

00:46:13.860 Coscob and Greenwich are neighbors, the school districts.

00:46:17.300 We intend to do a full investigation.

00:46:19.500 Until that time, we will not make any public statements.

00:46:22.580 And then they add, quote,

00:46:23.800 We do not support any opinions that promote discriminatory hiring practices based upon race or religion.

00:46:30.220 Also, a statement from the mayor of Greenwich, quote,

00:46:33.440 To think that Catholic applicants may have applied for teaching positions and not received proper consideration due to their religion seems like something of a bygone era.

00:46:39.720 So a lot of parents are outraged.

00:46:42.540 This is part one in a series that we're calling The Secret Curriculum, where we reveal what principals and teachers really think behind closed doors.

00:46:51.200 And not just what they think, but what they're doing.

00:46:52.860 And basically, they're discriminating against people who apply for teaching jobs, we've found.

00:46:58.600 And this is just part one.

00:46:59.820 But James, it's it's more insidious what he was describing to your investigator.

00:47:05.980 The first part of the tape is chilling about how they form this this subtle nature.

00:47:10.440 They know how to form these young minds without actually being overtly political and never have it because they know they get in trouble.

00:47:16.800 They say Democrats are progressive, but they do it.

00:47:19.520 And they say you eventually lead them to the same place.

00:47:21.660 That's why he wouldn't want to hire people that had a religious nature.

00:47:24.760 It was it was so chilling.

00:47:26.940 I actually thought it was scripted the first time I saw it.

00:47:30.200 I mean, how do you continue to get these great investigators and get these block?

00:47:34.240 Was it Facebook or big tech or now the school system?

00:47:37.960 And these teachers are talking about about really molding the next generation of how they wanted to be molded.

00:47:43.680 It totally woke.

00:47:45.640 Well, yeah, there's a statement here in the tape.

00:47:48.240 This is Boland, assistant principal Boland from Greenwich Public School, which is which is ironic because this guy is one of the leaders.

00:47:56.940 He's he's on the top of their student manual.

00:48:00.160 And I actually confronted him last night at a restaurant in Port Chester, New York.

00:48:05.160 We'll release that in an hour from now.

00:48:06.800 He says, quote, it's subtle.

00:48:08.480 The teachers I hire will never say, oh, this is a liberal or a democratic way of doing this.

00:48:13.320 Let us make that the norm.

00:48:14.520 And this is how we handle things.

00:48:16.340 This is how we get away with it.

00:48:18.180 So, yeah, it's almost like this was like a Saturday Night Live script of James O'Keefe writing what a teacher would say.

00:48:24.560 No, this is what he's actually saying.

00:48:25.780 I didn't write it.

00:48:26.740 Truth is stranger than fiction.

00:48:28.780 And they sort of caught.

00:48:30.020 And frankly, what's remarkable about these investigations, what's special about these investigations is they're causing a reaction.

00:48:37.240 News 12 in the New York metropolitan area is covering the story now.

00:48:41.500 We have a statement from the superintendent with reactions from parents are outraged.

00:48:45.860 I'm hearing already parents are contacting me.

00:48:48.800 There's a school board meeting next next week.

00:48:50.800 So this is what we're supposed to.

00:48:52.480 This is what journalism is supposed to be.

00:48:53.920 You're at your question.

00:48:54.840 How do we get them?

00:48:56.360 Well, we see we go there.

00:48:58.120 We we actually go on the location.

00:49:00.680 Imagine how broken the media must be when our unique value proposition is to actually go on the location reporting on.

00:49:06.200 But most journalists don't do that.

00:49:07.740 And we do.

00:49:08.760 And we have some really talented undercover reporters.

00:49:11.740 It takes weeks.

00:49:12.700 It takes months.

00:49:13.420 It's we're indefatigable.

00:49:15.140 We're relentless.

00:49:15.780 But we don't stop until we get the story.

00:49:18.680 Because because of what you do and the way you do it, you're a target.

00:49:22.300 I mean, Mar-a-Lago is whatever he's talking about.

00:49:24.180 But, hey, the FBI kicked down your door, dragged you out, you know, at six in the morning.

00:49:29.780 Today in the Daily Mail, they're saying, you know, agents in the FBI want want Ray removed.

00:49:34.940 Can you give us just your thoughts as someone's been on the receiving end of this, of your thoughts of Mar-a-Lago, but the FBI, their deportment and behavior?

00:49:47.040 Well, as it pertains to the First Amendment and to organizations like Project Veritas, I think, you know, there's no question.

00:49:54.260 We're on the right.

00:49:54.980 We're going to win.

00:49:55.960 We always have won.

00:49:57.060 We've never lost any of our litigation.

00:49:58.760 But I think, Steve, I think journalism has been changed forever.

00:50:02.000 Journalism has changed forever.

00:50:03.520 Even if I win, it doesn't matter whether I win or lose at this point.

00:50:05.940 The fact that they raided me and they violated their own regulations, the regulations stated by Merrick Garland, the Attorney General of the United States, you don't raid press organizations without doing a series of things for us.

00:50:16.320 So at this point in time, journalism has changed forever, and there's no returning to what it used to be.

00:50:23.640 And there's a new rule.

00:50:25.560 I'm going to call it the Biden-Garland rule.

00:50:27.840 For all of you law students out there, we know rule, analysis, conclusion.

00:50:31.180 Well, the new rule is if you're a journalist and you're reporting information on the administration, adversarial to the administration, you will be raided and targeted by the federal government.

00:50:41.800 Therefore, while I will always win because we're in the right in a court of law, it doesn't matter.

00:50:49.040 Journalism has been changed forever, and that should sadden everybody.

00:50:52.640 In fact, I had the Washington Post and Michael Smirconish, certainly no right-wingers, defending Project Veritas on SiriusXM yesterday because even they were like, what if the facts were different?

00:51:02.980 What if this was Ivanka Trump's diary and it was leaked to the New York Times?

00:51:08.640 James, you just hold over through the break.

00:51:11.800 I've got a couple more questions.

00:51:12.960 James O'Keefe, Project Veritas, another blockbuster story.

00:51:16.940 Parents throughout the nation are going to feel a chill when they see how the administrators and leaders of these schools are basically selecting the teachers that can form the minds the way they want them formed.

00:51:29.840 All next in the War Room.

00:51:32.260 We will break till they're all gone.

00:51:34.820 We rejoice when there's no more.

00:51:36.720 Let's take down the...
