On today's show, we have President Trump, former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Kelly Ward, former head of the Arizona GOP, and her lawyer, Brad Smith, join us to talk about the latest in the ongoing saga of the Mar-A-Lago raid, as well as the ongoing investigation into the use of deadly force by the FBI in a raid at Mar-a-Lago.
00:00:00.000We've got a country with the worst economy, worst inflation, who allowed Russia to go in to attack the Ukraine, who allowed Israel to be attacked and now it's not even helping Israel, and Jewish people that go for Biden and the Democrats, they should have their heads out of you. Thank you very much.
00:00:19.360Mr. Trump, were you referring to Matthew Kulantzko?
00:00:23.740This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:32.700Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:37.960I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:43.880I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:00:49.300And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega Media.
00:00:54.260I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:59.680Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:01:03.440If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:01:09.640War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:01:26.880President Trump, we just caught the final few seconds of it, but it was another master class in explaining exactly everything that's going on.
00:01:34.820Big, huge fight today about jury instructions, exactly what the charges are, etc.
00:01:41.100Mike Davis, we're trying to track down Mike Davis, going to have him on shortly.
00:01:45.440David Zier, Andrew Giuliani in the courtroom. I think they'll be leaving shortly.
00:01:49.620Maybe even Don Jr., if we can round him up.
00:01:53.980But another throwdown today in Manhattan.
00:01:58.920Also unbelievable, the, and we're going to try to get Julie Kelly on.
00:02:06.320Julie Kelly's reporting in her substack, she went through the documents that the judge in Florida unsealed.
00:02:14.740And we're going to get Julie Kelly, even if we have to get her by phone.
00:02:17.380And the FBI, in the paperwork that they had to go to the Mar-a-Lago raid to get authorized to get signed off by the judge,
00:02:28.180actually had the use of a deadly force.
00:02:33.280And they had notified, they had notified a local hospital and said if there were any casualties, they bring them there.
00:02:42.800A local medical facility. I kid you not, this is Julie Kelly, a tweet that literally just came out.
00:02:49.760Tons of new unsealed filings and classified documents case.
00:04:02.480Kelly, I guess the grand jury both out there at the last second, I mean, this thing's been around for years, at the last second,
00:04:10.860it looked like, at least to us, more lawfare.
00:04:13.060Where they indicted both the people who were the electors, which seems like, you know, the president and his campaign team had every right to have that in case this,
00:04:24.980in case uncertifiable things happen or state legislatures felt they were uncertifiable, Arizona being the one in play.
00:04:32.860But also people associated with it, some of the lawyers and other officials associated with it.
00:04:38.660So when you say it's about free speech, just what do you mean by that?
00:04:41.340Yeah, so what they've essentially done is they've created a new crime, and that's the crime of questioning an election.
00:04:50.060So in most states, and Arizona included, crimes are set out in statute, and there are defined elements of what a particular crime is.
00:04:57.780It took the attorney general months and months and months and thousands and thousands of pages to convince a grand jury that a crime, in fact, had occurred.
00:05:06.040But what we intend to show, and this is our first day, because today was the arraignment, our first time to answer and say,
00:05:12.540no, my clients are not guilty of any particular crime because no crime was defined.
00:05:20.680Okay, I want to go back through that just for a second, Brad.
00:05:24.140You're saying that the questioning of an election is not a crime, and it took the attorney general,
00:05:29.400who people should remember is only up, what, 208 votes in an election where there's, I believe, 8,000 or 9,000 uncounted ballots in one of the precincts over there in Arizona.
00:05:44.300So, you know, people question her legitimacy every day.
00:05:48.420We do it on the show every day, or every day we talk about Arizona, which is about every day.
00:05:52.180You're saying she's made a crime of questioning an election, and it took thousands of pages of research and writing for her to convince this grand jury.
00:06:05.260What were in those pages, and how did she convince a grand jury to actually indict Arizona citizens, sir?
00:06:12.900So what she's done is she's claimed the passions of those particular individuals.
00:06:17.920Now, today is an important day for our rule of law and our democratic republic,
00:06:25.740in that it's the first time that we finally get access and start getting access to those documents,
00:06:30.760and, in fact, what actually occurred in the grand jury.
00:06:33.800What we think is disconcerting is that the attorney general has gone all over the media talking about how many crimes occurred
00:06:41.620and what these particular electors did, what they did what was wrong.
00:06:46.120But she has not produced any of the documents that back any of her claims.
00:06:51.760And here's the other important thing that I really want to bring up that's very important in this,
00:06:56.520is that they've alleged that my clients have committed some sort of conspiracy.
00:07:00.720What I would like to know, in terms of full transparency for the Minister of Justice in Arizona,
00:12:03.320I think that's a sign of a healthy democratic republic because people are feel free to question their government,
00:12:11.240to hold government officials accountable.
00:12:14.060Unfortunately, what this type of prosecution does is it stifles that type of debate.
00:12:19.400And that is absolutely incorrect in America today.
00:12:23.120And that's why I believe that we need good people to stand up and fight.
00:12:26.400Kelly and Mike, is there anything you can say at this time or under advice of counsel, you're just holding fire?
00:12:36.200Well, I'll say we're blessed to have an attorney like Brad who is willing to take on something that many attorneys are too afraid to take on.
00:12:45.100Our Constitution, our wonderful country, our liberty, our very liberty and freedom are at stake.
00:12:52.280We're the ones they're going after right now.
00:13:20.840We need that protection because I see this as a battle of good versus evil.
00:13:24.920It's been going on for a very, very long time, but it's really, really spinning up and getting hot right now.
00:13:30.360So I'd love everybody to help cool it down with those prayers and with any support you can give us at kellyward.com.
00:13:36.820And, you know, Steve, like you and like Brad, I've served this nation as well.
00:13:41.300I served the state of Arizona and the country for 33 years in the U.S. Air Force, and it is disappointing to see what's happening to our republic because it's sad.
00:13:58.360Oh, I think Kelly and Mike, you guys have the patience of Job.
00:14:07.120I think it's going to get a lot hotter before it gets cooler, and I think it's beyond sad.
00:14:11.900I think they're trying to destroy this republic.
00:14:13.480And one way they're going to destroy this republic or attempt to destroy this republic is to come after folks like you, come after you and Kelly, who have been patriots and stood in the breach many, many times.
00:14:24.740And the new targets are going to be the brads of the world that sit there and try to stand up for people.
00:14:32.200They're coming after the lawyers because they understand these are legal processes.
00:14:35.140In lawfare, one of the things they're going to try to do is take out, you know, your knights and your warriors.
00:14:40.900That's the Rudys and the John Eastmans and the brads.
00:14:44.980If you guys can hang on, I'm just going to take a short commercial break.
00:16:26.080Kelly and Mike, obviously prayers are with you from this audience.
00:16:29.520I suppose it's going to take even more than prayers.
00:16:32.300It's going to take agency, some muscle.
00:16:36.260So, Brad, walk us through where people can go to find out more about this case.
00:16:39.660Where can they go to find out more about you?
00:16:41.340Because, Brad Miller, you're about to become a big league target because they're going to try to take out every lawyer associated with this as they have been on all these other cases.
00:16:50.300So, any closing thoughts or observations?
00:16:53.540And where can people go to find out more?
00:16:54.860Yeah, where they can go to find out more is you can find me on Twitter at Brad L. Miller.
00:17:02.180And also, you can go to my website, www.bradlmiller.com, to find more about me.
00:17:09.920But I think the most important thing is this, is that this is a good day for our constitutional republic.
00:17:15.480This is a fantastic day, and the reason why is that we finally get to get into the weeds of what our attorney general is alleging, and we get to start pushing back.
00:17:27.220In most countries, we don't get the right of defense.
00:17:30.140And so, we look forward to our opportunity to prove that my clients are not guilty, even though it's not our burden, and to show the American public that freedom of speech still rules today here in America.
00:17:44.660And we look forward to that vindication.
00:19:25.380We woke up, Raheem, until you made things straight.
00:19:28.980Newsweek magazine, and then picked up by Rolling Stone and others, Tucker Carlson had a new show that was going to launch on Russian state TV.
00:19:41.420And I still want to know, by the way, as it pertains to Jack Smith and what happened down in Mar-a-Lago, I still want to know, call me crazy, what the governor of Florida knew and when he knew it.
00:19:52.220But maybe that's just mischief-making on my part.
00:19:55.460I think it's all pertinent information that's coming out because of these disclosures by Judge Cannon.
00:20:02.400A lot of people are in trouble as a result of it.
00:20:04.160Look, we always have to be on the alert, especially for disinformation and misinformation, as President Trump now says, in almost every rally, right?
00:20:14.400And that's why when this story came out this morning, I think I texted you immediately, kind of as soon as Newsweek published it, to say, you know, Tucker Carlson is in bed with the Russian state media over some new show that they're doing over there.
00:20:28.460And it just didn't—I mean, it didn't pass the smell test for me, but like you say, Rolling Stone picked it up.
00:20:37.320It was being circulated all over the place.
00:20:38.900Rick Wilson, of course, the Lincoln Project guys, all of them, they're all tweeting it out.
00:20:42.700And it only took less than an hour, I think, for us to debunk it, and we had the first debunking article out there about it, that what had transpired was that the Ukrainian Pravda website, which ironically is, in effect, state media in Ukraine,
00:21:01.060was peddling some information that came out of another organization, a Ukrainian organization, an NGO, which appears to be kind of an information war entity on behalf of the Ukrainian government.
00:21:14.060So what happened here is the great defenders of democracy, right, the great media class that is supposed to protect us from all of these foreign meddling and so forth,
00:21:25.480were actually peddling foreign disinformation about not just obviously any old U.S. citizen, but in fact probably one of the most impactful U.S. citizens of our generation, Tucker Carlson.
00:21:37.240Now, it would be fine if that information stopped there, and you could just put it down to kind of, oh, you know, maybe some journalist got spoofed by this Pravda report, bad enough as that is, by the way, but I don't think that is what's happening here.
00:21:50.860When you look at the history of the so-called reporter in London, by the way, working for Newsweek, you will find a long history of peddling the Ukrainian state line on all manner of positions,
00:22:03.440as it pertains to the war, pre-war, and all of that.
00:22:07.380So with my tinfoil hat firmly off, I would hazard to say that there is a massive operation now out of the Ukrainian government to dupe American reporters,
00:22:20.240to dupe, not that they need much duping, by the way, to dupe the American public, and what is the likely end result here?
00:23:19.340Donald Trump's motion to suppress the evidence collected during the Mar-a-Lago raid, primarily based on it was unlawful.
00:23:26.600The affidavit was incorrect and misleading.
00:23:29.740And, of course, it was executed improperly.
00:23:33.580And part of this disclosure today, as I'm reading through this, Steve, and I really had to read it a few times to believe it,
00:23:41.680is that in the FBI operations plan, they give guidance on how to, on the use of deadly forks at Mar-a-Lago.
00:23:51.640This is part of this 20-page whatever plan that the FBI and law enforcement put together.
00:23:56.840In addition to that, they discuss how these agents, they had about 30 agents, 25 from Miami, four from Washington's field office, who were armed.
00:24:37.320I mean, they were obviously prepared, and they talked about this in this document, for contingencies and what agents could do or how they would handle if the former president showed up and how they would engage with Donald Trump and the Secret Service.
00:24:53.600Then there was a little caveat in there about giving really vague instructions if there was some sort of resistance by Secret Service agents to this raid.
00:25:04.720That is the word that they used, what happens if the Secret Service resists or interferes with the FBI timeline or process.
00:25:16.480And then they give the agents instructions about how to engage with the Secret Service and presumably allow the armed raid to move forward.
00:25:26.500Then they discuss how they're allowed to apparently ransack the guest rooms at Mar-a-Lago.
00:25:32.820And it says if the staff at Mar-a-Lago refuses to hand over the keys, that the search team will just knock on every single door, go door to door, and the FBI, this is directly, again, from the document, will request a map, a list of rooms, skeleton key cards for all the rooms.
00:25:51.040If staff doesn't turn it over, the FBI also was equipped with lock-picking equipment so they can terrorize the guests at Mar-a-Lago who were staying there in August of 2022.
00:26:02.820I want to go back for a second to number one, the use of deadly force.
00:26:09.380Didn't I also see in your Twitter stream that they also had a plan for triaging people if they had casualties and they actually had notified or they had a place to take people if they had casualties?
00:26:27.500With the FBI team embedded was a medic, and they talked about in another form how to treat anyone who was injured during the raid.
00:26:36.520And they identified a trauma center about 18 miles from Mar-a-Lago, and they inserted a map of how to get from Mar-a-Lago to this trauma center if anyone was injured or hurt during the raid.
00:27:26.120This is part of the plan to conduct the nine-hour armed raid of Mar-a-Lago.
00:27:32.580And I know some other people are extrapolating that this was a plan to harm the former president or someone at Mar-a-Lago, staff, if God forbid his family.
00:27:43.420I'm not so sure that that is where this leads.
00:27:48.860I think it, I think it, by the way, hang on, hang on, why, when the use of deadly force against a former president of the United States who just had an election stolen from him yesterday or before, hang on for one second.
00:28:01.860The attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump.
00:28:13.500Julie Kelly, Raheem Kassam, Mike Davis next in the war room.
00:28:16.320I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:28:23.740First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:28.240This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:28:35.720Now, 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.
00:28:49.780In 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.
00:28:57.180If 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.
00:29:08.200I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:29:13.740Fortunately, 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.
00:29:26.060Watch Jim's warning video now, before it's censored like I've been in the past.
