On today's show, we're joined by Garrett Ventry, an advisor to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Natalie Winters (D-NY), to discuss the latest in the ongoing case against a federal judge overseeing the case against President Trump.
00:01:14.260I think nowadays with Speaker Mike Johnson, there's really never a day where something doesn't get done on the Hill,
00:01:20.880or at least for you guys hear about it on Twitter.
00:01:23.580You know, there's a new round of subpoenas dropping, some interesting complaints being filed about people who are waging really all-out lawfare against President Donald J. Trump.
00:01:33.980Luckily, we have, I would say, some of War Room's finest joining us for today's show to break all of that down for you and more and have some fun, because it is Friday afternoon.
00:01:45.160But we'll start with Garrett Ventry, who is, of course, a good friend of the show, an advisor to Elise Stefanik.
00:01:52.760I guess we call you a just all-around political advisor.
00:01:57.180He's really, I would say, President Trump's poll guy.
00:01:59.940Anytime he talks about polls on this show, President Trump always seems to truth out the clip, so we always love having him on.
00:02:07.620But before we get in to everything that's going on on the polling front with President Trump, it's so good.
00:02:13.640I'm sure another indictment will probably drop soon.
00:02:16.200I'd love to hear your thoughts, if you could sort of walk the audience through the official judicial complaint that was filed by Representative Elise Stefanik against one of the judges overseeing.
00:02:28.120And again, you can get granular, because there are so many lawsuits and cases and judges and moving parts and moving characters and, you know, George Soros-funded DAs in this whole mix.
00:02:37.760But what exactly did Representative Stefanik do?
00:02:40.880How does it represent her standing up for President Trump?
00:02:43.740If you want to start with there, I start with that, and we'll get into the polls and everything else going on.
00:02:48.880Great, Natalie, and good to be with you, and great to be back with the War Room Posse on a great Friday here.
00:02:54.180Yeah, Congresswoman Stefanik has been one of President Trump's fiercest defenders.
00:02:57.920I mean, everyone remembers when she came on the scene during the 2019 sham impeachment on the Russia hoax and defended President Trump, exposed Adam Schiff.
00:03:06.900And ever since then, she's really been a very strong ally of President Trump's on a number of issues, whether it's standing up for election integrity, being the only member of House or Senate Republican leadership to endorse his campaign back in November when he launched.
00:03:21.400And so she's been an important and critical ally of President Trump's in the America First Movement, obviously.
00:03:26.320And you're seeing it here with this complaint.
00:03:28.120She's stepping forward here and filing a judicial ethics complaint against the judge in the New York case where Tish James brought a scam, another scam lawsuit against President Trump here.
00:03:39.320And there's really a few reasons why she's bringing it here.
00:03:42.140Number one, the judge has donated to Democrats.
00:04:50.520He's proven to be a partisan hack, and it's great that Congresswoman Stefanik is standing up and exposing him by filing this complaint, and hopefully something gets done by him.
00:05:00.340You know, the war room posse is all about action, action, action.
00:05:05.280I think it's probably the de facto motto of the show.
00:05:08.460So while we, of course, love filing complaints, I'm just curious.
00:05:12.800Again, I know you're an advisor to the congressman.
00:05:15.380But, you know, what does accountability look like in this case?
00:05:19.320Are there any other things, you know, agendas, letters being sent, sort of behind-the-scenes stuff that you could maybe sort of let the posse in on in terms of what fighting back, what countering this full-blown, full-out lawfare assault?
00:05:33.700Again, not just in New York, but in states across the country, frankly, across the world.
00:05:39.140But what the sort of counter to that looks like from House Republicans, if there's any meaningful accountability, you think, coming forward?
00:05:47.760Yeah, I think you've seen with Congressman Jordan, you know, they're trying to do a lot here in terms of investigating the Jack Smith indictments, too.
00:05:56.780I mean, he himself has proven to be a partisan hack over and over again as well.
00:06:01.540It's very easy to see when you look at President Trump declared he was running for re-election and running for election for the White House again in November of 2022.
00:06:10.500Three days later, Jack Smith, you know, launches his partisan investigation, his name's special counsel, and to President Trump.
00:06:17.380So I think, you know, this is a very good move by Congresswoman Stefanik, obviously, here, filing this complaint.
00:06:22.560It's a big deal to step forward and put your name on something like this.
00:06:26.040I think that, you know, the House Judiciary Committee continues to do a lot of good work uncovering documents, trying to figure out if there's any coordination between Fannie Willis and Georgia on her sham January 6th case against President Trump and the same thing that's been brought in D.C. by Jack Smith.
00:06:44.100So I think continuing to try and get communications, there's obviously efforts, Congressman Gates and others have looked at ways to potentially try to defund Jack Smith's investigation.
00:06:53.700So I think there's a lot of good work happening there.
00:07:06.680They're going after parents for wanting to be involved in their kids' education.
00:07:10.600So this is a really downstream effect of Democrats trying to weaponize the justice system against everyday Americans, not even just President Trump.
00:07:18.720So it's deeply concerning, and Republicans really need to get a handle on it.
00:07:25.140It seems like the term, I guess, sad for the Republic, but lawfare gets thrown around so much.
00:07:29.880It's been so normalized, right, all the indictments, the hundreds of years of charges and prison sentences that President Donald Trump could potentially serve.
00:07:37.100And I don't think you would disagree with me, Garrett, but I think we saw sort of a similar push from the establishment, the powers that be back in 2016, primarily more so through the Republican establishment, right?
00:07:48.200The Axis Hollywood tapes, people calling on him to resign or step down, the Never Trump movement.
00:07:53.460But I think President Trump was so effective in sort of neutering that Republican establishment that now they don't have that same sort of, I would say, power force to really rely on.
00:08:03.620So I think they have to rely on the courts.
00:08:05.540They have to rely on these Soros-funded DAs, right?
00:08:07.820It's sort of lawfare in a different way.
00:08:10.220I think we're seeing this election cycle because we know it's purely political.
00:08:14.240But I think that this ties in quite nicely with what I know you talk about a lot and focus your analysis on.
00:08:20.480And I want to read some findings from a new poll.
00:08:23.020Again, this is not to be confused with the New York Times poll that had everyone in the mainstream media's, you know, heads on fire.
00:08:31.220Usually it's their pants on fire from lying that they were losing it, saying that Joe Biden may just not be able to win.
00:08:37.120Again, not that he ever won in the first place, but another poll has found Donald Trump dominating Joe Biden in five of the six key swing states.
00:08:45.940The survey conducted by Emerson College shows Donald Trump leading in Arizona with 43 points, compares to Biden at 41.
00:08:52.400Georgia with 47 points, compared to Biden's 40.
00:08:55.920Nevada at 46 points, compared to 39 for Biden.
00:08:59.640Pennsylvania at 46 points, compared to 43, and Wisconsin with 44.
00:09:05.340So 43, the only exception is Minnesota.
00:09:09.680I guess Mike Lindell's home state, we've got to get him hard to work out there, with Biden polling at 43 points, compared to Trump's 41.
00:09:19.440Garrett, your thoughts on these numbers, of course, coming on the heels of that really what was a bombshell poll with similar findings from the New York Times just last week?
00:09:27.520Yeah, I mean, you remember that meme during when President Trump was inaugurated in 2016 with that liberal freak who's, like, crying and breaking down and screaming?
00:09:36.860I imagine that every time that liberals have to read the New York Times or Bloomberg or any of these mainstream media polls, which show President Trump having a dominant lead, not only in the Republican primary, which essentially is over at this point.
00:09:49.660It's even embarrassing that we continue to have Republican debates.
00:09:52.020It's like going to a single-A baseball game when the Yankees are playing in their prime, and it's just a complete and utter joke that we're continuing to do that when he's up 50, almost 60 points here all over the country.
00:10:03.360But then when you look at these individual polls here, it's very interesting to see that President Trump, in the states you need to win back the White House, these key swing states, whether it's Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, like you point out, he has a very strong lead over Joe Biden.
00:10:19.280And he's even infringing, like you said, in places like Colorado, Minnesota, President Trump is infringing on blue state territory here.
00:10:27.660And it just shows that, you know, President Trump, people miss the Trump economy.
00:10:31.620They're scared of all the foreign policy and national security and open border implications here that have happened under Joe Biden.
00:10:39.060And, you know, you're going to see here, I think, President Trump have a very resounding victory in 2024.
00:10:44.680And that's why the weaponization stuff, the lawfare stuff, and the polling goes so well together here, because they know they can't beat him at the ballot box.
00:10:52.360So they're literally not just leaking bad stories on him anymore.
00:10:56.780And it's the most wild thing we've seen here.
00:10:58.620And that's why we need everyone here who's, you know, part of the war room posse to get out and make sure they're voting for President Trump in 2024 so we can take back our country.
00:11:09.060I'm just curious, you know, we always joke, I think I have the timeline on my Twitter, how anytime there's bad information that is dropped about some member of the Biden family, even the, you know, granddaughter, maybe the great-granddaughter, you know, another indictment drops almost like clockwork.
00:11:40.000But from a lawfare perspective, I'm curious if you think they're going to ratchet up and launch more cases against him, or do you think they're maybe going to sort of regroup, try to attack him in other ways?
00:11:51.080We see what's going on in Colorado, trying to remove him from the ballot.
00:11:55.060What do you think, you know, putting yourself, as scary as it is, in their shoes, what do you think their sort of battle plan, charging ahead to make sure that Trump can't win?
00:12:03.500And what do you think they're going to pivot to, or what do you think they're going to continue using?
00:12:13.880So, I mean, yeah, I mean, you're seeing this ballot initiative, obviously trying to get him off the ballot by using the 14th Amendment, which has, you know, again, was a Civil War era amendment in terms of what they look at there in Section 3.
00:12:28.220And that's simply talking about Confederate soldiers who, you know, were disloyal to the United States of America, never being able to hold office.
00:12:36.240President Trump has not been convicted of insurrection.
00:12:38.620He's not been charged with insurrection, even in any of these cases.
00:12:42.000So, again, a complete sham here that that's even happening in Colorado and that the judge is even seriously considering that case.
00:12:48.820But, yeah, I think those are the twofold things you're seeing here, right?
00:12:51.240It's trying to put him in jail and take him off the ballot.
00:12:53.800And this goes back to how weak of a president Joe Biden is.
00:12:56.660We've had, you know, skyrocketing inflation, spike in crime.
00:13:00.580We've seen Israel invaded by Hamas, a brutal terrorist organization.
00:13:32.980And, again, it went from leaking negative stories about President Trump, you know, bad mainstream media coverage, which we're all used to on President Trump.
00:13:41.820But they've ramped it up now where they're literally trying to use the power of the federal government to take him off the ballot and to put him in jail.
00:13:48.340And I just don't think it's going to work at the end of the day.
00:13:50.540I think that's why you're seeing him continue to have strong support.
00:13:53.360And people see right through these cases as pure weaponization against President Trump.
00:13:59.140Garrett Ventry, thank you so much for joining us.
00:14:01.600If the Warren Posse wants to follow you, get in touch.
00:16:41.660I spoke to Vice Premier Herr about our goal of achieving a healthy economic relationship that benefits both our countries over time.
00:16:58.320We do not seek to decouple our economy from China's.
00:17:03.200This would be damaging to both the U.S. and China and destabilizing for the world.
00:17:09.560But a healthy economic relationship requires American workers and firms to be treated fairly.
00:17:19.380I raise concerns about the breadth and depth of the PRC's non-market policies and practices and their global spillovers.
00:17:30.540These are concerns that I hear frequently from U.S. businesses.
00:17:34.360Vice Premier Herr and I also focused on the need for joint work on global challenges.
00:17:43.180The physical and economic impacts of climate change are mounting across the globe, including here in California.
00:17:51.840We discussed specific areas where we can enhance our cooperation on climate finance beyond our co-chairing of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group.
00:18:05.660I also underscored that too many countries continue to face high risk of debt distress and a debt architecture that does not work as it should to support them.
00:18:20.620I emphasize the need for us to build on our good recent progress in the Zambia case to make much faster progress on other debt restructuring cases.
00:18:32.840And we discussed the crucial roles we have to play in making the debt architecture work better and faster.
00:18:41.700We also spoke about our efforts to promote global financial stability, as well as the importance of strengthening the World Bank, IMF, and other parts of the international financial architecture.
00:18:56.500Earlier this week, we took a positive step towards strengthening the IMF, with the executive board's approval of an equi-proportional quota increase.
00:19:08.780This would bolster the IMF's ability to fight crises at a critical time for the world economy.
00:19:20.840I think I, speaking on behalf of most of the Warren Posse and my wonderful boss, Stephen K.
00:19:25.340Bannon, most definitely do seek to decouple from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:19:30.860I don't know about you, but, you know, her speech today, really the whole meeting with San Francisco, I think there's, in San Francisco, rather, there's no better example of weakness inviting aggression.
00:19:42.220And they do this fun thing, right, the establishment, they love to say that China, the Chinese Communist, first of all, they never call it the Chinese Communist Party, right?
00:19:51.100They say, oh, we should collaborate, right?
00:19:53.660We can work together on the challenges.
00:19:56.320Of course, they only talk about climate change, never COVID-19, because the CCP, of course, caused that.
00:20:02.200You can't collaborate with the actual problem itself, right?
00:20:05.580You can't work with the enemy to fix the problem.
00:20:08.360But I think fundamentally these people don't understand it.
00:20:11.700And if the best she could do is call out the Chinese Communist Party, you know, they love to throw around intellectual property theft and talk a little bit about trade and reciprocity on that front, that misses the forest for the trees, right?
00:20:26.120That's not the paradigm through which these people, the Janet Yellens of the world, look at the Chinese Communist Party conflict.
00:20:31.860Do they think that intellectual property theft is the original sin of the Chinese Communist Party against American workers, not to discount the impact that that has on this country?
00:20:42.360But that is, you know, 1% of the bigger problem, the bigger threat that is the Chinese Communist Party.
00:20:47.300Any individual, any apparatchik from the Biden regime that wants to stand up there and give a speech, a diatribe against the Chinese Communist Party, and they don't even say the words Belt and Road Initiative.
00:20:58.480They don't call out the Chinese Communist Party for trying to broaden their global hegemony through institutions and buying up, whether it's ports and bridges and land and agriculture here in the United States.
00:21:09.320So they don't even call out the biological warfare. And I'm not even talking about COVID-19. I'm talking about the fentanyl that's pouring in through our borders.
00:21:17.800If you can't even bring yourself to say that, I don't want you to tell me that you're speaking tough against the Chinese Communist Party because you sort of mentioned intellectual property theft.
00:21:28.280But as Dave Brat all too well knows, just like most of the city of Washington, D.C., and all of our intellectual bettors, just like the Biden regime, they're all bought off by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:21:41.260So no wonder why Janet Yellen is going to be peddling their talking points.
00:21:44.540So, Dave, I'm curious, your thoughts on the meeting going on in San Francisco, and we'll get into all of the other wonderful policy decisions that have been effectuated by Biden.
00:21:53.120Yeah, no, that was a you gave me such a setup there. I got so many softballs flying at me. I don't know what to hit first.
00:22:01.820But the reason for that meeting is because China is cracking up right now. Right. That's that's the she is coming over here.
00:22:10.000Why do you think he's doing that? He's never done that before. Right. So he's coming over here.
00:22:14.400China is cracking up. They're in a hard space. And I should have brought a chart with today.
00:22:19.460But their direct foreign investment is negative for the first time.
00:22:24.220And in addition to that, capital is flying out of China.
00:22:28.980Their billionaires are trying to figure every way out of there.
00:22:32.820And the American business class finally is seeing the real writing on the wall.
00:22:38.120Right. The rate of return on your investment. And they're backing out of China.
00:22:42.300Right. So direct foreign investment is negative for the first time.
00:22:46.380And that's in headlines this week. And then you got to the crux of it.
00:22:51.160We need to decouple. Right. This is our enemy.
00:22:54.700There's a document. If the posse and the war room have not read this yet, you have to read it.
00:22:59.660Because if you're in the Judeo-Christian tradition or even if you're just a nice person,
00:23:05.680when you read unrestricted warfare is the title written by two colonels, they've been promoted to generals.
00:23:13.000But your stomach will turn when you hear the type of warfare that the Chinese are willing to engage in against their own people and against us.
00:23:22.460And I was just on a panel with some freedom guys, right, that Steve would have called the khaki guys, the old Republican Party guys.
00:23:29.960And, you know, they're talking about free markets and tax cuts and whatever.
00:23:33.460We said and I, you know, I said, OK, good.
00:23:35.920You know, it's fine to incentivize things, but that's not going to pay our way out of this disaster.
00:23:41.120And we got into the issue of China and I said, look, the full cost of China, I have to be included in the supply and demand curve.
00:23:52.340So we're supposed to include the full cost of doing business.
00:23:54.820I said, one thing I can guarantee, and you probably know more about this than I do, Natalie, but by 2049, right, that's the 100 year anniversary of China.
00:24:03.560By 2049, China will have Taiwan or they will have put up a bloody fight to have it.
00:24:11.320And hopefully we win because all the trade routes go through there.
00:24:15.080And so the Chinese have also figured out, I think I heard it from Steve in the war room, they've done some analysis on, you know, after Tiananmen,
00:24:22.540how long does it take for Americans and the rest of the world to forget about their atrocities that they've committed against human beings, the Chinese, Lao Bajing.
00:24:41.400And then the bottom line, I'll just leave the people, there's a RAND analysis right there, the defense analysts.
00:24:48.400And they showed that a war over Taiwan with China, no boots on the ground in China, just a war over Taiwan will cost the United States 5% to 10% of GDP.
00:24:58.800That's 10% of your economy just fell in the ocean.
00:25:03.160And so markets are down over 50% on that.
00:25:30.340And so that's, we need to decouple right now.
00:25:33.220It's time to quit trying to make your last nickel in profits.
00:25:36.780Profits are good, but not at the expense of the American people.
00:25:39.940Yeah, I guess Hunter Biden has his last opportunity to make his last million dollars before Trump is back in office and we decouple.
00:25:50.420But, you know, the takeaway from what you said, and you're, of course, always correct to invoke unrestricted warfare, probably one of my favorite books for all the wrong reasons, the Chinese Communist Party would say.
00:26:00.540But it really gets to the heart of it, which is there is a plan behind every little decision and every little move that the Chinese Communist Party makes.
00:26:07.960And as you know, all the Chinese companies, even those that aren't allegedly state-owned enterprises, they're all subject to Article 7 of China's national intelligence law.
00:26:20.920At any moment, the Chinese Communist Party can requisition them to achieve the ends of the state, whatever that may look like.
00:26:27.400But when you talk about Taiwan, right, and China's potential to invade there, you know, it makes me think when we see everything going on in Ukraine, everything going on now in the Middle East, everything going on with our southern border, it all does sort of blend nicely together to create what is the, I would say, ultimate path for China to invade Taiwan, right?
00:26:50.700You have a weakened U.S., not just financially, I mean, just look at our ammunition piles.
00:26:54.640So I'm just curious, in your opinion, do you think that that's sort of part of the bigger plan?
00:26:58.700And I'll hold you through the break if you can stay.
00:27:04.720I mean, the Marxist axis, right, you know, it's Hamas and then Hezbollah and then Iran and then over there China and then Russia's on the side.
00:27:15.620And they're all aligned right now, right, like you and Steve show every day.
00:27:22.120The Marxists have infiltrated our government, right, the head of intelligence, right, the gangster, the book out, shows all of that in black and white with footnotes.
00:28:14.540I know it's probably the Chinese Communist Party likes that we've got to go to break just as you were lighting into that.
00:28:19.160But Warren Posse, in the meantime, you've got to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon to make sure that your financial future is not to hold it to the Chinese Communist Party or any of our globalist bettors like Janet Yellen.
00:28:31.680We'll be back with Dave Rapp, Mike Davis, some other people after this short break.
00:28:38.500Are you prepared for the unthinkable ahead?
00:28:41.840We all need to pray for the best, but prepare for the worst.

00:30:13.840You guys know a lot of my investigative reporting always focuses on the corrupt money laundering, i.e.
00:30:19.400taxpayer subsidized bribes on behalf of the Biden family.
00:30:25.240Frankly, USAID is basically all money laundering.
00:30:27.980But there's a very curious story that came out today that has to do with a report from the Government Accountability Office finding large, and I'm talking about hundreds of billions of dollars large,
00:30:41.740discrepancies between various federal agencies' reported budgets and their actual itemized spending, at least on the USAspending.gov website now.
00:30:55.160I'm sure most of you probably have not been on USAspending.gov, and for that, I do not blame you.
00:31:00.320But as an investigative reporter, it's where I do a lot of my work.
00:31:03.520You can trace basically all federal contracts.
00:31:05.640You can see where the money's going, what it's supporting, you know, what a Biden-linked individual is profiting off of the crisis at the southern border, you name it.
00:31:14.240And this GAO report found, for example, the Treasury Department, despite having $231.5 billion in COVID-19 spending included in its annual financial report,
00:31:29.480that only $36 billion of that was reported on USAspending.
00:31:35.040In other words, only $36 billion was either actually spent or the whole sum was spent, and around $200 billion was not properly reported.
00:31:46.100So the American people will never be able to see where that money actually went.
00:31:51.240You also guessed it, the Department of Health and Human Services, because why not, also had a very large discrepancy,
00:31:57.720the $85.7 billion in COVID-19 obligations, and weirdly enough, $91.7 billion reported on USAspending.gov.
00:32:09.080There were actually dozens of federal agencies that were included in this report,
00:32:13.560is having these large discrepancies, also very sizable ones for the Department of Homeland Security
