On this week's episode of The War Room, Stephen K. K. Bannon and Ben Bongiorno talk about the latest in the Stormy Daniels case, the ongoing investigation into whether or not Steve Bannon is a co-conspirator in the alleged cover-up of a $130,000 payment to a woman who says she had an affair with Donald Trump s lawyer, Michael Cohen.
00:00:00.000I thank Leader McConnell, as I've mentioned before, working hand-in-hand with us, not letting partisanship get in the way.
00:00:08.080I thank Speaker Johnson, who rose to the occasion in his own words, said he had to do the right thing despite the enormous political pressure on him.
00:00:19.660And I thank Leader Jeffries, who worked so well together in his bipartisan way with Speaker Johnson.
00:00:27.460And let me say this once again about my friend, the Republican leader.
00:00:33.360We were of one mind to get this bill done.
00:00:37.340It was our bipartisanship, our linking of arms together, that got this large and difficult bill through the Congress, despite many political ideologues who wanted to bring it down.
00:00:49.760Bipartisanship once again prevailed, and I thank him for his leadership.
00:00:52.960But what took so long to get some of these other eight Republicans persuaded to your position here?
00:01:00.720Was it the overall nature of this bill and what was lost in that time period for Ukraine?
00:01:08.060I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who, in my opinion, ended up where he should have been all along, which was interviewing Vladimir Putin.
00:01:22.880And so he had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.
00:01:34.340There is currently deliberation over Steve Bannon's name into this conversation that the defense for Donald Trump is asserting and objecting to this line of questioning of David Pecker around Steve Bannon and his relationship with Pecker,
00:01:49.100because Pecker has now testified that in October of 2016 that Donald Trump introduced Steve Bannon to David Pecker.
00:01:57.780Now, of course, in October of 2016 was at the heart, well, all of the deliberations over the Stormy Daniels payment were ongoing.
00:02:06.500But also the fact that Steve Bannon was working as the chief campaign strategist, CEO of the campaign by that point.
00:02:13.880And so we are currently listening to a line of questioning where the defense is saying, look, Steve Bannon was never brought forward as a co-conspirator in this.
00:02:22.400But the prosecution is making the case that, yes, well, they are not charging Steve Bannon.
00:02:27.460And the questions of whether he would actually be brought forward a witness, I think, are still outstanding that they believe that he fills in the gaps about some of the David Pecker testimony
00:02:37.740and the extent to which it was a scheme or a conspiracy that even extended beyond just David Pecker, Michael Cohen and Donald Trump.
00:02:45.620But others were involved as an extension of the Trump campaign and Donald Trump personally to subvert and make sure that articles through the National Enquirer were put out into the sphere that were beneficial to him and damaging to others.
00:02:58.800And as it specifically pertains to Steve Bannon damaging to the Clintons.
00:03:02.700But all of this is conversation is happening in real time, Andrea.
00:03:07.740This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:03:14.020Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.
00:04:33.300Yeah, so I guess walls are racist when they're on our southern border, but they're fine when they're protecting the elite staffers and faculty of NYU.
00:04:42.240Yeah, this wall is going up outside the Stern School of Business where they were at last night.
00:05:32.040And this is, again, we've talked about this this morning, but this is the outgrowth of giving in to the child that needed the spanking from, you know, it's really, we can go way back on this.
00:05:42.740This goes back to parents not disciplining their children, not teaching them right from wrong, and those children becoming adults, and now those adults being the faculty at this university, and then them teaching the next generation that if you don't get your way, or you have a microaggression put against you, or you just like terrorists, you should be able to shut down your school, attack people for no reason.
00:06:03.100That's what we're dealing with right here, and that's what we're seeing at Columbia, and sadly, I don't think that's going to change.
00:06:09.440The mindset of the radical left that runs just about every university in America, that's not changing.
00:06:16.500Really, it's going to take something like what we're seeing at Columbia, or like what we saw here, and ultimately, it's going to take having to stand up and saying that spanking that needed to happen when you were five is going to happen now.
00:06:27.940But NYU is essentially getting away from campus, getting away from Stern Business School, getting over to Washington Square Park.
00:06:37.900What they're trying to do is make sure that they have another riot tonight.
00:06:41.460It's in the park where they can hopefully, law enforcement can better handle it?
00:06:48.280Yeah, you know, apparently, but if history is any guide, you look at what they did in Oregon, and it feels like when you set something like this up, it just becomes a target.
00:06:57.940So it'll be interesting to see what happens tonight.
00:07:00.640I don't think, you know, listen to a lot of the students as they walk by.
00:07:04.180They're definitely not happy about it, and so I would be shocked if there wasn't some sort of attack on the wall tonight.
00:07:10.420But, you know, yes, ultimately, that's the goal is to move it off the campus, insulate the campus, and just push the problem out to somebody else's neighborhood.
00:07:20.280Is this, you've covered a lot of this over the last four years.
00:07:23.260In fact, you've covered it even before that because you did a lot in the run-up to the 2020 election.
00:07:28.820It seems to me when you look at this crowd of what I call the protesters or the rioters, it seems to me there's elements of Antifa, Black Bloc, the BLM.
00:07:59.200It's the exact same thing that we saw with BLM.
00:08:02.300It's the same MO where you have local outrage that's turned into national outrage that's turned into riots, and then you have groups that come in from all over the country.
00:08:10.900That idea, that mechanism, that strategy has been weaponized, and you see that just about anywhere.
00:08:16.860Anytime there's something to be outraged about, you have, it's really Antifa-led.
00:08:21.320So you've got these radical leftists, violent thugs that come in and join up and merge with these groups.
00:08:28.040And so originally it was Antifa out there, then they merged with BLM, now they've merged with the Hamas-supporting side of the world,
00:08:35.060and ultimately it's just growing that cancer of violent leftism in our society.
00:09:21.980I cannot imagine anyone who wants to be an attorney sitting through a courtroom is one of the most boring, mind-numbing things you can possibly do.
00:09:58.500But ultimately, ultimately, it's one of the sickest things I've ever had to see.
00:10:02.500When you consider how President Trump is being treated versus how Hillary Clinton was treated with the Perkins Coie steal dossier or Hunter Biden, how they actually covered up the massive amounts of mainstream media, covered up his laptop to steal the election in 2020, it's absolutely disgusting to watch President Trump sit through that.
00:10:21.480You could feel the time ticking off the clock.
00:10:23.720You could feel the time ticking off the campaign.
00:10:25.820And it's so clearly politically motivated.
00:11:18.760There is a time suck, an intentional time suck that is happening in that courtroom.
00:11:23.420And you could feel it for President Trump.
00:11:26.040I mean, I was pissed sitting there listening to it, having to experience.
00:11:30.120I cannot imagine how President Trump is feeling having to sit through this and have to listen to these guys.
00:11:36.180These radical leftists, this judge that's clearly biased, the prosecution that's being run by Joe Biden.
00:11:42.840And sitting through that, it's so obviously a design to tear down President Trump's ability to campaign because they know Joe Biden can't win without it.
00:11:52.460It's just, I mean, it couldn't be any clearer.
00:11:55.140And the fact that we're going to have seven more weeks of this potentially, I don't know.
00:12:00.500I just pray that anyone watching this or anyone paying attention to this, that this gets people out to rally in President Trump's support to do it on his behalf.
00:12:08.200I think there's also a potential backfire on this because you're also stealing the oxygen in the room for everything.
00:12:14.980Now President Trump is on the airways every single day.
00:12:17.580It's almost like in 2016 where they tried to demonize him.
00:12:20.680Well, now you're giving him a platform.
00:12:21.960The key for this to me is for the campaign to bring Steve Bannon back and to start pushing MAGA back and to start hitting these guys back and saying, you want to push a gag order?
00:14:50.040It's a great tutorial on what's going on in the world of finance today, and you need that for your own personal life and for your country's life.
00:15:11.760The cost of goods continues to rise despite interest rate controls by the Fed.
00:15:16.820Since January 2021, cost of living is up 18%.
00:15:21.640The national debt continues to skyrocket, now significantly north of $34 trillion, causing many to worry when the House of Cards will come crashing down.
00:15:33.340And a presidential election year that will have massive implications on the future of this country.
00:15:39.720All this adds up to instability and uncertainty.
00:15:43.220And that is why so many Americans are turning to Birch Gold Group.

00:17:27.000I just appreciate you letting me get the word out.
00:17:29.080You know, Nashville's growing like a weed.
00:17:31.640So if you're in the area, come out and meet me.
00:17:33.640Today, we're going to be talking about the dossier in the trial today, which we alluded to earlier with Ben.
00:17:39.920And they were talking about e-mails and wire transfers about, you know, normal things that DJT was doing that Hillary Clinton's campaign, by the way, did much more of, you know, meeting with the press.
00:17:56.300Tonight, we're going to be discussing wire transfers from CHICOMs, and we're doing a drill down on, you know, all the felonies that Joe, his family, are involved in.
00:18:05.980If you really want some granular details about what's in the laptop, come tonight.
00:18:14.160It's a little more than two hours away, and we're going to be going around the country.
00:18:19.400So, you know, perhaps some of these next stops we're doing, I can come on, and we can corral the troops in different areas.
00:18:27.880One more thing I'll say is, you know, we are – we're facing not as corrupt as Judge Merchant, but the judge in our case with Hunter Biden in the federal court in Los Angeles, we moved for recusal because the guy named – his name is Hernan Vera.
00:18:54.300He finally got in on the third try, 52 to 48, and he gets assigned to our case three months after he gets put on the bench in the Central District of California.
00:19:05.200So, you know, DJT is getting it worse than all of us, but their lawfare is not just these corrupt attorneys like Abby Lowell.
00:19:13.780It's getting their – I mean, our judge was literally in La Raza.
00:19:22.420And the person who's deciding on our recusal motion is Laura Ramirez Almadani, and I know these names don't mean anything, but they're just – they're covering all of their bases.
00:19:37.000Anybody can go to fightbiden.org to get our docket and what we're – you know, just so everybody understands, Hunter is suing us not for defamation.
00:19:43.420But just because we published the authentic data from an abandoned device, Steve, you'd think that we'd get some amicus briefs from the reporters' committee on the freedom of the press.
00:19:56.120You know, they even went to back for Project Veritas when their houses got raided.
00:19:59.460But we haven't gotten one freedom of the press organization to write about our lawsuit.
00:20:04.800We're getting sued for something that's unprecedented in American history.
00:20:07.560Do you think it's because they know how radioactive this is against the Biden crime family because it has got things in there, which you're going to explain tonight to this Nashville audience, that quite frankly never allows you to look at the Bidens the same again?
00:20:28.200I think they did a cost-benefit analysis.
00:20:30.320They're like, yeah, sure, it's obviously illegal for what Hunter is asking for.
00:20:35.340I mean, they're asking the district court judge, the Marxist La Raza guy, to take down our websites, to do a court order of a seizure of our websites.
00:20:44.780And, of course, that's totally ridiculous and illegal.
00:20:47.220But the cost-benefit analysis is like if we go to – if we put out a statement on this, people are going to go look at the BidenLaptopEmails.com site and the BidenLaptopMedia.com site and see the authentic data of drugs, business deals.
00:21:03.640I mean, it would be one thing if Joe wrote this guy off and said, you know, this is the black sheep of the family.
00:22:44.960In their lawsuit with me, they say Hunter owns that data, and therefore, even though he legally abandoned the device, they don't admit that, of course.
00:22:53.220The data that is on bidenlaptopemails.com, which is free to search, is Hunter Biden's data, and therefore, it doesn't belong to us.
00:23:02.840Okay, I want everybody in the general listening area – we have a big – we're on the radio down there, on the John Frederick's Radio Network.
00:23:14.460So it's 6.30 Central Daylight Time today.
00:27:09.800One, of course, six to eight weeks in this courthouse every single day where he's berated in his team by this compromised Democrat activist judge and harassed by the media.
00:27:21.180And then, of course, looking down the horizon, there are a few more court proceedings and trials that he will have to possibly deal with.
00:27:34.820It doesn't just deprive him of his life and liberty, but the American people from hearing now what his plans are as he runs to try to defeat this unpopular, incompetent, corrupt president, Joe Biden.
00:27:55.040You've got blockbuster news way down south of Florida way in the in the case.
00:28:00.340It's quite frankly, mind boggling what Julie Kelly has been able to unearth.
00:28:04.860She's also going to talk to us about Thursday.
00:28:07.300Once again, the end of the dollar empire.
00:28:09.780We're trying to get you up to speed as quickly as possible.
00:28:12.980The fifth installment has finally come out.
00:28:15.460It's the end of economic security, economic freedom.
00:28:18.780We go through fiat currencies, but particularly we talk about digital currencies, central bank digital currencies, the Federal Reserve central bank digital currency.
00:28:42.120I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts.
00:28:49.580First, think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:53.580This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:29:01.600Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:29:15.640In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:29:23.040If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:29:34.060I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:29:39.600Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:29:51.920Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:30:09.080Okay, the one and only Julie Kelly has been doing this for years now, just in an incredible way on J6, also covering President Trump.
00:30:16.500We're going to talk to you in a minute about the immunity, but I want to take a minute here and you walk us through it.
00:30:22.460What have you found out that's kind of a blockbuster about this entire situation on the classified documents case, ma'am?
00:30:27.660So this has been more than a three-month battle with Judge Aileen Cannon, the Department of Justice, Special Counsel Jack Smith, and Trump's attorneys and co-defendants
00:30:38.220to unseal and make public documentation and records that signal and prove that Joe Biden's White House, his general counsel, and the Department of Justice, and the FBI, and the National Archives, and the intelligence community, among other agencies,
00:30:58.980were all in cahoots as early as May of 2021 to manufacture a documents, records-related investigation and prosecution of Donald Trump.
00:31:12.600So what happened yesterday is finally Judge Cannon, who, as you know, I've talked to you about and I've covered her.
00:31:18.400Hold it, hold it, hold it, hang on, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:31:26.460What you're saying about all this conspiracy, that you're saying that this is all organized, walk me through that, about what you've been fighting for in these documents.
00:31:36.760So this is actually, you have to give kudos to Judge Cannon, who is so courageous and has continued to confront Special Counsel Jack Smith and his attempt to keep information,
00:31:49.740not just from Donald Trump and his co-defendants, but also from the American people.
00:31:54.900And now we know why, Steve, because yesterday an extensive motion that had been redacted under a protective order and that Jack Smith wanted to keep that way,
00:32:06.960in addition to dozens of exhibits that demonstrated close collaboration between Joe Biden's White House, Joe Biden's General Counsel, Joe Biden's Department of Justice, Joe Biden's FBI, the National Archives, Joe Biden's Intelligence Community,
00:32:25.960to once again work behind the scenes to concoct and manufacture some sort of documents or records case against Donald Trump.
00:32:36.820And this dates back at least to May of 2021, where, as you know, the archives working with DOJ pressuring Team Trump to turn over what they insisted were government records that they were entitled to under the Presidential Records Act.
00:32:54.540So finally, as you know, he produced those records, but they were impatient, we were told, and they were taking that time in 2021 to concoct another criminal case and investigation, which they did.
00:33:10.300And they were working collaboratively with Jonathan Suh, who is Biden's White House General Counsel at the time.
00:33:18.820And finally, when Donald Trump produced those 15 boxes of documents, handed them over to the archives.
00:33:25.660The archives couldn't really specify, Steve, what they wanted, except for, let's see, remember the Sharpie Gate map of Hurricane Dorian?
00:33:33.780That was one record they said they wanted, the letter that Barack Obama left for Donald Trump in the Oval Office, some other correspondence.
00:33:42.900So then, within 24 hours, the National Archivist, in January of 2022, claimed that he saw classified papers in there, worked again with DOJ to create this criminal referral, and sent it to the FBI in February of 2022.
00:33:59.620Now, Steve, that's the story that we've been told, you know, the boxes were turned over, oops, there were classified documents, then the FBI and DOJ got involved.
00:34:11.080The FBI and DOJ, at least the DOJ, top officials, including the Office of the Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, deeply involved in creating this case.
00:34:23.200That is why Special Counsel Jack Smith and the DOJ wanted this material and this evidence under seal.
00:34:32.160And it was, for the most part, unredacted and made public on the docket yesterday.
00:34:38.760So, hold it, you're telling me that there is now evidence as proven in the release of these documents by Judge Cannon that shows that the actual Deputy White House Counsel inside the West Wing was actually working in cahoots with Department of Justice, FBI, in the National Archives to kind of concoct a charge here against President Trump?
00:35:08.640So, what it looked like initially, Steve, is that they were going to create a records destruction case against Donald Trump in 2021.
00:35:17.520The archives and long-term career employees now in the Biden White House insisting that there were, like, 25 boxes of records that were missing and demanding that Trump turn those over.
00:35:32.180Well, his team, he had Presidential Records Act representatives.
00:35:36.660One of them was Mark Meadows, who was working with the archives trying to figure out what the hell they wanted.
00:35:41.060And they just kept making things up as they went along.
00:35:44.980And so, they were already working and had already crafted what these records demonstrate.
00:35:53.580They were already drafting a criminal referral by September of 2021.
00:36:00.840It certainly wasn't for classified records because they claimed that they didn't know about that until January or February of 2022.
00:36:06.660So, they were making something else up, a records destruction or something along those lines.
00:36:14.780And so, this was another operation, DOJ, led by Lisa Monaco, the intelligence community, led by Avril Haines, both of whom very close advisors, as you know, to Barack Obama, one who runs the DOJ right now, the other who runs the intelligence community.
00:36:33.660Going back to their old days, getting the gang back together, Russia collusion, FISAgate, which both Monaco and Haynes were deeply involved with, and now concocting a documents case and then ending up with what we have now, which is an espionage act and obstruction case against Trump and his two co-dependents.
00:36:55.020So, now that you've broken this and got it all organized, I mean, is the House over this?
00:37:03.480Because this is why I don't know why they're not going forward with a criminal conspiracy.
00:37:07.940From South Florida to Georgia, Washington, D.C., and New York, they have Matthew Colangelo is arguing the case in New York.
00:37:18.940He's the number three guy at the Justice Department.
00:37:21.940This is a criminal conspiracy driven by Biden's White House, the White House counsel over there, to Merrick Garland from the FBI Justice Department to basically use lawfare.
00:37:31.540And this is why I don't get why the Republicans are not over this.
00:38:49.100We know that Joe Biden pushed the Department of Justice to pursue the January 6th criminal indictment against Donald Trump, too.
00:38:55.660And now we have proof that he, his White House, and his top officials at DOJ and the intel community and others were working behind the scenes, again, conspiring, to your point, a criminal conspiracy, to entrap Donald Trump.
00:39:16.500We have Donald Trump and his representatives acting in good faith, fully cooperating with NARA and DOJ, despite what Jack Smith and the media asserts.
00:39:27.860I mean, Steve, in June of 2022, Donald Trump delayed his trip to Bedminster to settle there for the summer so he could greet Jay Bratt, the counterintelligence chief from DOJ, and three FBI agents at Mar-a-Lago.
00:39:42.480Told them, look around, we'll give you whatever you want.
00:39:46.200Here, you gave us a subpoena last month.
00:40:00.540I mean, this is an entrapment operation.
00:40:02.740And you had the top officials, including Biden and White House lawyers, who were deeply involved in this.
00:40:11.640And I don't know where House Republicans.
00:40:14.580I know there's a lot of things going on right now.
00:40:17.160But what could be more important than this and this tied to all of the criminal prosecutions, you, Peter Navarro, 1,400 Americans now, his two co-defendants, Valtin Nada and Carlos de Oliveira, who are being dragged through the mud with no evidence against them as co-defendants of classified documents.
00:40:38.680I just, I'm at a loss for words why, where our Republican leadership in Washington is and has been on these issues.
00:40:48.900Have they, has anybody in the Republican on the committees, on the staffs anywhere reached out to you, given you had 3.5 million, you know, hits on Twitter yesterday?
00:40:59.500You're already going super viral, mega viral.
00:41:19.180So I've covered this probably as closely as anyone, at least on our side.
00:41:23.720There's no way to catch up with to what's happening here without, you know, briefing from someone who has been in the courthouse, has watched Judge Cannon and Jay Brad and the defense attorneys in action.
00:41:34.900And read almost all of these motions from the beginning.
00:42:19.240I will have another article up about oral arguments shortly, probably tonight, and continue to dig into these 300, 400 pages of newly unredacted filings.
00:42:29.820And thank you, Judge Cannon, for doing your job and taking on this cabal because what she is doing, as you can imagine, is not easy.

00:42:49.200You notice you don't see this on Joy Ann Reed and Rachel Maddow every night.
00:43:53.520They're too busy doing a CODA or they're too busy going about the hugely important work of getting more money to Zelensky and his oligarch buddies.
00:44:02.800Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?
00:44:12.960Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
