Stephen K. Bannon and John Avlon discuss the latest poll numbers on President Trump s support among African-American voters and how that could affect his chances of re-election in 2020. They also talk about the impact of impeachment, and what it means for the future of the country.
00:04:54.920It's Monday, 6 May in the Year of Our Lord, 2024.
00:04:59.200Welcome to the Still Point in a Turning World.
00:05:01.780Just moments ago in the kangaroo court in Manhattan, the judge called, I think called the lawyers up to the bench and threatened President Trump with a jail before continuing to work the edges on this gag order.
00:05:19.220We're going to get into all this in what should be an explosive week in American politics.
00:05:25.820I want to make sure we talk about some statistics and some facts.
00:05:29.200Right now, when you talk about this democracy and that Biden was going to run a democracy and you saw Applebaum up there talking about autocracy and democracy.
00:05:40.100In the ABC polling, and if you break the ABC polling down into its component pieces, what we call the crosstabs, absolutely shocking what President Trump is doing to the basic core coalition of the Democratic Party.
00:05:55.820And that would be the African-American community, the Hispanic community, the youth vote.
00:06:02.800He's making tremendous gains in the African-American community, particularly black men under the age of 50.
00:06:11.080I think President Trump, hey, if he keeps rolling like this, may draw that segment of the demographic to a 50-50, get 50 percent of the vote or 40 percent of the vote, which would be extraordinary.
00:06:21.320Biden only leads Hispanics, all Hispanics, by 4 percent.
00:06:25.960I think it was 21 percent in 2020, the way they counted.
00:06:30.080Youth vote is now to Trump's side by plus five, under 30.
00:06:34.900Finally, the Russian serfs are waking up and they want to break the chains of their bondage and understand there's a better deal with President Trump than this mad – the lived experience right now, this madness.
00:06:46.580As Columbia University, the Marxists on the faculty and the Marxists in the administration cancel graduation, bow down and give a big win to the neo-Marxist protesters and the Sharia supremacists because they're just surrendering.
00:07:03.300Okay, so Axios, Mike Allen and Jim Vanderhay are the inside baseball of inside baseball.
00:07:13.260Like when you go in Hollywood, you got the red carpet, but then you have velvet rope after – you know, you have a VIP area, then you got a super VIP area, then you got like the inner circle.
00:07:21.620You always have a rope within a rope within a rope.
00:07:25.480Jim Vanderhay and Mike Allen are the inside baseball of the corporate media.
00:07:30.780They have all the big advertisers, big pharma, the defense industry, all of it.
00:07:36.140A very profitable tip sheet, but they always give you inside baseball.
00:07:39.840Two massive stories in today's Axios, and I want to take them one at a time.
00:07:44.980First, it is the 6% of the seven states.
00:07:49.440If you know, and we do battleground in the 6 o'clock hour, but we specifically on this show have focused on those seven battleground states since the spring of 2020, where we walked through and said, hey, here's where the fight's going to be.
00:09:34.100And now when it comes down to it and you see what the polling is, you see the rise of MAGA and the ascendancy of MAGA, and you see the MAGA's now attracting African-American men and Hispanic families.
00:09:46.940And the youth vote under 30, because you understand the crosstabs as well as anybody.
00:09:52.100When you understand it, you throw over the lie, and it's a bald-faced lie of the 81 million votes.
00:10:33.300And that's eating on people of how this actually happened.
00:10:37.160How would a legitimate president of the United States allow 10 to 15 million people to illegally invade this country?
00:10:44.220What sort of person would continue to spend this kind of money on this Keynesian infusion to basically destroy our capital markets and put this kind of debt on our children and grandchildren and the lived experience of people today?
00:10:58.380The Oracle of Omaha, all you guys that follow the capital markets, Berkshire Hathaway, they had their big annual meeting.
00:11:04.980I think it's on Saturday, and they packed that arena out in Omaha.
00:11:23.060And there's no political will on Capitol Hill.
00:11:25.380There's no guts on Capitol Hill for anybody to step forward and say these are the types of cuts we have to have to get to a balanced budget.
00:11:48.680You see right now, the polling shows that MAGA is ascended, that Trump is ascended.
00:11:55.440The only thing they have to thwart President Trump is lawfare.
00:12:00.520They believe that if they can get a conviction, that that can convince enough of these people in the battleground states that in the way they do it is not even a crime.
00:12:11.020There has been no we're four weeks into this.
00:12:13.440No one can tell me now what actually the crime is.
00:12:15.840They're talking about election interference.
00:12:18.180They're talking about election interference.
00:12:27.740Because the prosecution led today by Matthew Colangelo, Matthew Colangelo from the Justice Department, seconded by Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland to New York to come up with this Rube Goldberg machine of a charge is up there.
00:12:48.980The only thing you've seen in the narrative in the courtroom in the last couple of weeks is Trump's a scumbag.
00:12:56.240Trump's a scumbag and it's put out and reinforced time and time again on MSNBC and CNN to the fact that Morning Joe saying they're lecturing CNN about watching the neo-Marxist and Sharia supremacists on campus instead of going back to the trial.
00:13:11.540The trial is the only thing they've got.
00:13:12.920And today they threatened President Trump.
00:13:15.060They threatened President Trump with jail.
00:13:17.640They threatened President Trump with jail because this unconstitutional gag order.
00:13:21.640And my question is, why are we not going on offense?
00:13:37.360What they care about in places like Michigan, in places like Pennsylvania, in places like Wisconsin, hey, I think it's called the blue wall, is that their countries managed to climb by the elites led by Hillary Clinton.
00:13:54.960Why don't we go on offense and bring the people that Bill Clinton raped and Bill Clinton sexually molested?
00:14:01.920And let's bring the rapists that Hillary Clinton defended as a public defender against a little girl.
00:14:06.280Let's bring them to St. Louis and let the American people compare and contrast the words of Donald Trump on locker room talk versus the actions of the Clintons and let the American people decide.
00:14:21.680Because the American people have revulsion for the Clintons.
00:14:26.100You have to go on offense on this vast criminal conspiracy against Donald J. Trump and the House of Representatives and the feckless, gutless leadership over there has to step up to the plate, and they need to step up to the plate today.
00:14:40.220It's absolutely outrageous what's going on.
00:14:42.720President Trump's taking incoming from everywhere.
00:14:45.980He still leads, and we have a massive sweeping win on his shoulders.
00:14:50.200But somebody has got to come to his defense.
00:16:18.580The gravity of a situation about putting a former president of the United States, and he said, even possible future president of the United States in jail for contempt of court.
00:16:27.760And the fact that it would also involve secret service if he were to be put in jail, if he were to violate this gag order.
00:16:35.020He understands and sees that the $1,000 fines is not really making any difference.
00:16:40.500And knows, though, that he has a job to do in spite of how difficult the decision may be, he said, although he is not putting him in jail for now.
00:16:49.560It seems to be yet another threat for the former president to not continue to violate this gag order.
00:16:55.560We're awaiting that official decision, Mika, because it was handed over to both the prosecution and the defense.
00:17:00.600They did not read that from the bench.
00:17:02.360When we get it, I'm going to bring it to you.
00:17:04.040But nonetheless, it seems like the judge is ready, willing and prepared to put the former president in jail if he continues to violate the gag order.
00:17:11.780But again, understanding the gravity of that situation and really what it would go into and making that decision happen.
00:17:18.840Right. With Secret Service and everything like that.
00:17:20.780Zero surprises from Justice Mershon here, because I didn't expect that he would jail Trump on this hearing, on this decision.
00:17:29.640I think he's going to give him at least a couple more chances because contempt violations are about a continuum.
00:17:35.680You start with admonitions and then you say, well, here's your statutory maximum thousand dollar fine in New York.
00:17:43.400And I don't think he would have gone to jail right away.
00:17:46.560I think from there he's giving him another chance or two.
00:17:49.540But one thing really interesting to me is that he verbalized what I think everyone knew this judge and every judge with a Trump case is thinking,
00:17:57.800which is I do not want to try and put an ex-president in jail, not for an hour, not overnight, not for a week.
00:18:04.920It will be a logistical, administrative nightmare to say nothing of the fact that he has to be flanked by Secret Service agents.
00:18:13.960The issues involved make it so. I don't think any judge wants to do that.
00:18:18.100And Justice Mershon just confirmed that this morning.
00:25:11.300One thing that's quite evident, it's quite evident, they're not going after the vast criminal conspiracy against Trump because the Democrats won't allow it.
00:26:18.940They believe they're going to give Mike Johnson, Paul Singer and these guys are going to give Mike Johnson unlimited funds to hold the House or pick it up,
00:26:26.020to save Lawler in the Hudson Valley, to save these seats on Long Island and around New York City.
00:26:31.140And with the redistricting wins we've had from Alex DeGrasse and the great teams throughout the states working on these redistrictings that it looks at,
00:26:38.800we're going to net out, okay, we hold the House and maybe even pick up a seat or two.
00:26:44.900Then you get down to the executive branch.
00:26:47.720The donors, what do they need Trump for?
00:26:49.500Because with Trump comes you, this audience.
00:26:51.300With Trump comes MAGA, and MAGA is a pain in the ass.
00:27:30.600They are the controlled opposition of the globalist.
00:27:34.440The destruction of our country could not have happened if it had not been for Murdoch, Fox News, and the Republican donors as the controlled opposition.
00:27:44.200To give you the false impression there was true opposition as they got everything they wanted.
00:27:48.840Just like what's happened in this Congress.
00:28:19.220Most emergencies come without warning.
00:28:21.020And when the next one comes, you won't have time to pack and to prepare.
00:28:26.980You need to get ready now before an emergency strikes.

00:29:48.840If you get the book, Finish What We Started, you see the fight you have and how they hold you in contempt.
00:29:55.000But over the last couple of days and the weekends from Missouri to all over the place and Virginia, you've got fights and you have patriots winning and putting the establishment on notice.
00:30:07.900Two of the toughest, all of them are tough.
00:30:10.800Two of the toughest are like in South Carolina and Georgia.
00:30:12.960These are not, these are complete and total throwdowns.
00:30:16.700The vested interests that have controlled the Republican Party apparatus from the precinct level all the way up to the RNC are not going to give this thing up without a fight.
00:42:15.340The American public should realize that there has been a complete hijacking of government agencies
00:42:20.700in an effort to just oppose the opposition candidate to Joe Biden.
00:42:25.580And it's going on with our tax dollars.
00:42:27.620It's going on with our truth being hijacked.
00:42:31.340There are, you know, there's a war on truth right now.
00:42:33.360People are trying to suppress the truth.
00:42:35.740And our congressional committees could easily put on convincing, compelling, extraordinary hearings for months.
00:42:43.920And it would have a profound effect on the electorate going into the fall election.
00:42:49.840Keep in mind that despite the fact that other than that one story I mentioned from the Washington Post,
00:42:53.440New York Times, Washington Post, the networks, they haven't covered anything about Joe Biden scandals.
00:42:57.220But two-thirds of Americans in an AP poll last month said they now believe Joe Biden and Joe Biden did something either unethical or illegal in conjunction with his son's business.
00:43:09.360They didn't get that from the mainstream media.
00:43:11.820They got it from your show and my site and the great work that Julie Kelly and some of the work that the impeachment committees have done.
00:43:19.100The public is much faster ahead of the deep state right now.
00:51:40.460And since our National Committee man and woman have been in there, we have lost 15 seats in the Georgia statehouse, as well as five seats in the Georgia Senate.
00:52:12.120It's time for strong leadership at the RNC.
00:52:14.780And we're seeing that across the country with some of these great leaders that have gotten in.
00:52:18.220And now we need change as well at the Georgia GOP, because the RNC Committee man and woman have a seat on the executive committee at the Georgia GOP.
00:52:27.860And it's time we have some strong leadership there, Steve.
