00:00:00.000
court decision on presidential immunity. Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida is now granting the
00:00:04.540
former president's request to postpone some deadlines in his classified documents case
00:00:09.180
to consider how the Supreme Court's ruling could impact the proceedings. Is there any mechanism at
00:00:14.980
all to push these cases forward or is it all on hold for the foreseeable future as the immunity
00:00:22.960
impact is sorted? It's on hold because Judge Mashaun, who is on the Manhattan DA's office
00:00:28.280
hush money case, had to delay sentencing because it's a legitimate argument that the defense is
00:00:33.260
making that we have to file a motion to set aside the verdict on this new decision. So he has to take
00:00:38.080
that seriously. He has to give the Manhattan DA's office time to respond. And so therefore, the
00:00:42.320
sentencing had to be adjourned. I'm confident that Judge Mashaun and the New York appellate courts
00:00:47.140
will probably find that the motion should not be, the verdict should not be set aside. I'm not so
00:00:52.840
confident that if it makes his way back to Supreme Court, they will agree. So this is a very big
00:00:58.400
decision. Also just for the future of future presidents who basically now can use DOJ, according
00:01:03.960
to this decision, to weaponize and go against opponents. If you read this decision, it makes it
00:01:10.740
clear that presidents have a lot of power now, particularly they are in exclusive control of the
00:01:16.740
Department of Justice. He is everything this country has always been against and opposed to and offended
00:01:23.740
by. How is what is happening in the country that he's ahead? Well, I mean, first of all, don't don't
00:01:33.120
overestimate us. There were always people in this country who talked about America first when what they
00:01:39.040
meant was we actually like dictators abroad and we don't want to help Democrats abroad. There were
00:01:46.920
always people in this country who liked one form of inequality or another. We have plenty of skeletons
00:01:52.780
in our historical closet. So and Mr. Trump comes out of that closet. He represents a kind of worship of
00:02:01.840
wealth, which is perhaps ill gained. He represents the sense that white people are the ones who actually
00:02:09.020
struggle in this in this country and not everybody else. He represents things which are also
00:02:13.340
historically American, how he could be in the lead. I mean, we also were a country for better or worse
00:02:20.540
of of short memories. I think folks are having often a hard time remembering where where Trump left off
00:02:28.140
and where Biden began. I think Biden is a victim in a way of his own success because he came in and
00:02:36.140
without a lot of fanfare and with a lot without a lot of self praise reversed the recession, got us out
00:02:43.600
of covid, restored order to our foreign policy, passed a huge amount of landmark domestic policy
00:02:50.420
such that the country is now so normal that I think Americans I mean, not that not a lot of people are
00:02:56.660
suffering and we still have we have great problems with wealth inequality, school access, lots of other
00:03:01.140
things. But we are we are now at you know, I think it's fair to say we're like 2018, 2019, 2020 or
00:03:08.160
better levels of normality. And and but we know Biden is kind of paid for that. Right. Like because
00:03:16.400
now we feel like, oh, well, maybe we could throw the dice again with this with this fellow Trump weird
00:03:21.660
way, bizarre way, being indicted for times and being found guilty by a jury for for crimes has helped
00:03:29.140
Donald Trump. It's helped him in his polling numbers, which is very strange. Normally, if someone's
00:03:34.700
been convicted of a crime, it's sort of their life is ruined. This is helped Donald Trump and also just
00:03:39.980
the delaying of the other cases. So it's worked for him in terms of all of the motions that his lawyers
00:03:47.500
have filed. You see it as delaying justice. It's delaying justice. You know, justice delayed is justice
00:03:52.980
denied. So it it's very serious. This Supreme Court case. This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:04:05.600
Pray for our enemies, because we're going to medieval on this people.
00:04:10.740
I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it.
00:04:16.940
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:04:20.140
but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share
00:04:24.360
the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:04:32.540
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country,
00:04:39.160
this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:04:50.140
Dave Bratt in the War Room with Stephen K. Vance, July 8th, Year of Our Lord, 2024.
00:04:59.320
Out of respect and honor for Steve Vance, he's got the sign of the cross behind him. I've gotten a lot
00:05:06.340
of expressions of goodwill and love toward Steve from his Catholic brothers and sisters.
00:05:12.520
And so we're opening every show in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
00:05:16.380
Everything I say that comes out of my mouth on this show will be the absolute truth. Steve used
00:05:21.860
to get irritated at me if I ever showed up without the receipts. So it's not good enough to have even
00:05:28.380
solid answers. He wanted proof that the answers were true and accurate. And the War Room still
00:05:35.320
proceeds with that philosophy. And so let me answer. The cold open was great. Nicole Wallace was just
00:05:41.600
dumbfounded. What is going on in this country? She's very sad about what's going on in this country.
00:05:49.520
And all political views are my own, but these are not political. These are the biggest issues. And
00:05:54.160
the left just still does not seem to be aware of any of these basic issues. So the RNC committee came
00:06:02.000
out with the three big issues today. I'm going to go over those. The War Room, by the way, led the field
00:06:07.920
on all of those for the last four years. So no surprise there to all of you. But what is happening
00:06:14.240
in the U.S.? Nicole, Nicole, here's what's happening. Here's the big deal. Here's why there's a populist
00:06:19.680
movement across the world. It's not a conspiracy. 10% of the Americans' wealthiest people own 90%
00:06:29.840
of the stocks and the bonds and the assets. Not only that, right, the magnificent seven,
00:06:36.400
the giant firms this year, the top five firms took about 60% of all the returns.
00:06:43.200
So that's the billionaire class. The left, the liberals, Nicole maybe used to be a liberal,
00:06:50.060
the left used to care about income distribution. That's what's called. When the rich 10% owned
00:06:55.840
90% of everything, let that sink in. So the rest of the country owns nothing. Half the country,
00:07:02.640
on the economic segments, I used to cover half the country doesn't have a retirement account.
00:07:09.520
Let that sink in, right? So how's that going? So what's the last answer? Border invasion,
00:07:15.120
that's coming up in the show. We've got everybody weighing in on that. What else is going on for Nicole
00:07:21.200
that she may not be aware of? In the city of Chicago, liberals used to care about kids.
00:07:26.640
In the city of Chicago, the poor kids in the third grade, only 12% can read at grade level.
00:07:35.200
And so that's not a promising future, right? Conservative policy for years and years and years
00:07:42.720
has wanted to fundamentally transform those schools so that these kids can get an education and have a
00:07:49.040
future. So Nicole, that's number two. Number three, on the jobs front, the left won't dare touch any of
00:07:57.440
this, but all the jobs created and all the jobs reports are all government jobs. More net zero hedge,
00:08:04.880
I got all this stuff posted out on Brad Economics for years and years and months and months. All the new
00:08:11.360
jobs are part-time for this year, all of them. The full-time jobs are down. It's a nice little
00:08:18.720
red bar going down. All the part-time jobs going up. All the new jobs. Finally, all the new jobs in the
00:08:28.080
last four years have gone to foreign-born workers. So this may be why all of these three things I just
00:08:36.000
mentioned may be why African-American voters and Hispanic voters and the young kids are all taking
00:08:44.960
another look and going, what's going on here? All right. So now it becomes just a messaging contest,
00:08:52.960
the left on messaging. And I'm just, you know, I was in Congress way back when, and it was stunning
00:09:00.160
on the messaging that every newspaper, every media source, I was on all the big ones, right? The CNNs
00:09:06.800
and then NBCs and whatever. And all they would ever ask you about is the politics, right? Hey,
00:09:14.960
does someone in the Freedom Caucus disagree with someone else? What about the Speaker of the House?
00:09:20.560
So they start you off talking about politics and the petty stuff, and they won't address the big issues.
00:09:29.200
And so our leadership, it's just, and our leadership never responded, right? The leadership never came
00:09:36.640
out with the big three. So today, I'm somewhat, it's somewhat promising. The RNC platform committee
00:09:45.200
came out with the big three, and there's no shocker, all political views are my own, just going over the
00:09:50.320
big three. The border invasion, no shocker there. Inflation, right? Inflation up over 20% in the past
00:10:00.720
few years, 30% in the past seven years. So that's over 20% of all the money in your pocket, you've lost
00:10:10.400
20 cents of every dollar for real. And it not only applies to the dollar in your pocket, it applies to
00:10:16.160
your entire retirement account. If you got $100,000 in there, guess what it's going to buy
00:10:21.840
tomorrow when you pull it out? $80,000 worth of stuff. So inflation is a hidden tax, and it's
00:10:30.080
theft. And the Federal Reserve knows it's theft, and they've been propping up the stock market.
00:10:35.920
The rich are getting richer. Did I mention the top 10% own 90%, Nicole? That's why the left is very sad.
00:10:43.040
It doesn't matter what they do. All they do is kick the can down the road. Now we have a terrible
00:10:49.120
economy facing us. The third issue, by the way, is making the US strong again, the endless wars.
00:10:57.760
Back when I was in office, no wars. Now we have four wars raging and 14 hot spots raging. You saw
00:11:04.880
retired Colonel John Mills last week on the show outline all 14. I highly recommend you show that
00:11:12.480
to the young kids as they get ready for this draft language emerging in the media as well.
00:11:19.920
Finally, a couple added points here in the opening. Ray Dalio, a billionaire. The billionaires,
00:11:27.600
I think, think they are worth more than one vote, right? Because they're billionaires,
00:11:32.960
and they've been treated that way forever by the elites. But they're just one vote. They're just one
00:11:37.680
person, and they should be treated as such, and their opinion should be treated as such.
00:11:41.440
Ray Dalio just lobs everyone in, says Biden and Trump, you know, the millennials are to blame for
00:11:47.120
this type of leadership or some crazy thesis like that. What Ray Dalio might have missed
00:11:53.920
is that President Trump, I don't know of another human being who could sustain what he's been through,
00:12:00.160
right? So he stood toe to toe with China, Xi Jinping. He stood toe to toe with Russia. You
00:12:10.720
know, the whole Russia hoax is three years of our intelligence failures and frauds. He stood toe to
00:12:17.920
toe with the rest of the world, kept peace, and brought us prosperity. And so I don't know
00:12:23.680
what you're getting at there, Ray. Maybe you want to spell out how someone else could have done better.
00:12:28.000
No other politician could have withstood China, Russia, the CIA, the entire mainstream media.
00:12:38.640
Day one, the day after Trump stepped in as president, the Washington Post nukes him.
00:12:44.320
Day one, hadn't even done anything yet. And the Washington Post is out to remove him from office.
00:12:49.520
Again, animal farm, it looks like some of the animals think they're a little more special than
00:12:54.480
the rest of us are normal animals, right? And so very interesting days ahead. I'll throw in one
00:13:01.360
other thing. The left seems to be hung up with this term of fascism. They want to call us classical
00:13:07.600
conservatives fascists. I'm a Presbyterian economist. I resent that. No fascism on this side of the football.
00:13:16.560
The other side of the football is a little more interesting. We want a smaller government. We want
00:13:20.960
all powers. Chevron. Hello, can you say Chevron? We want all powers returned to the states where they
00:13:27.040
belong in the original constitutional setup when we used to have a country. The left wants centralized
00:13:34.400
power, no matter what you call it. Socialism, they call it. It's cute, right? But it's still
00:13:39.280
government owns the means of production. It's Karl Marx. Karl Marx said we need this intermediate
00:13:43.920
stage of socialism before we get to full on heavy duty stuff, communism. And then the left throws in
00:13:50.480
this term fascism. Fascism refers primarily to Mussolini and Hitler. Hitler was a part of the
00:13:59.760
Nationalist Socialist Party. And so it doesn't square. And so on the war room, we resent this name
00:14:14.320
calling, right? We do not want this huge centralized power that the left insists on. The left wants more
00:14:21.440
and more and more power. And we do not. And at every step of the way, we fought that fight, right?
00:14:30.960
It's the socialists, the communists. The Chinese government is now smaller than the United States
00:14:38.960
government sector. That cannot stand. The war room is very proud of its record on these three
00:14:45.280
fundamental issues over the years. We're going to be right back on the war room with some great guests.
00:14:50.800
We got a rocket show lineup right back on the war room.
00:15:05.920
The elites are getting desperate. They now want to use the technology behind Bitcoin for their own
00:15:11.280
Orwellian purposes. Their gold? To dominate our economy by forcing everyone to use central bank
00:15:17.440
digital currencies, which they control. Imagine your every purchase being called into question.
00:15:23.520
Your every move tracked, like you live in a communist country. This is not the America we want,
00:15:29.440
but it is the America they want to create. Fortunately, you can fight back. I believe owning gold is the
00:15:35.840
best solution. Why? Because it keeps you in control and safeguards your savings. Plus, with a gold IRA
00:15:42.480
from Birch Gold, you can move your IRA or 401k into physical gold without paying any taxes or penalties.

Dave Bratton, War Room with Stephen K. Bannon. And it's our honor to have a very special guest in with us
00:16:35.120
again. We got to host him last week, but ran out of time to treat his serious subjects sufficiently.
00:16:42.800
And so Supreme Court Judge Gabelman from Wisconsin, welcome back on the show. And if you just want to
00:16:49.280
start at the top, because you're covering a very important issue. So just give the War Room posse,
00:16:54.880
who may not have heard any of this yet, the building blocks of what's going on likely again
00:17:00.880
in the US of A. Thank you, Judge, very much for joining. As a former justice and a former judge,
00:17:06.800
I am extraordinarily grievously concerned by the opinion released by the Wisconsin Supreme Court
00:17:13.920
last Friday. It really victimizes a lot of people. And it victimizes people by
00:17:21.040
not just paving the way for illegal drop boxes. These drop boxes can be anything. There's no regulations.
00:17:28.480
In fact, the dissent in this opinion correctly points out that this lawless opinion of the
00:17:36.240
four leftist ladies who now run the state Supreme Court in Wisconsin are purely driven, in this opinion,
00:17:45.280
by politics and their desire to see drop boxes used because I think they view it as beneficial
00:17:54.320
to the Democratic Party. I said victim and I use that word on purpose. It victimizes a lot of people
00:18:02.720
who can be broken down into two broad categories of individuals. The first group are those of us,
00:18:10.400
everyone who's concerned about election security and election integrity.
00:18:14.720
This opinion, thanks to the four leftists who now run the Wisconsin Supreme Court,
00:18:24.160
elections in Wisconsin are a lot less secure and have a lot less integrity than they did just a few
00:18:32.000
days ago. Two years ago, our Wisconsin Supreme Court declared these drop boxes to be illegal for
00:18:38.320
good reason. They're not authorized by the statute. Stop there, Judge. Say that again. That's a big
00:18:46.240
deal. Say that last line again so everybody gets a good read on this. It is a big deal that just two
00:18:53.200
years ago, our Wisconsin Supreme Court in the Tegan decision declared that ballot drop boxes are illegal
00:19:02.000
because they are not authorized by law. The law does not authorize ballot drop boxes and nothing has
00:19:11.280
changed except for the composition of the court. The left picked up one more seat in the most recent
00:19:18.640
election. So they now have a 4-3. There are seven members of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. So the left
00:19:25.600
now controls it. And I make a distinction. Not all Democrats are leftists. People who are concerned
00:19:32.800
about the integrity of the law and about our courts having any confidence, enjoying any confidence
00:19:41.280
by the people ought to be really repulsed and offended by this opinion.
00:19:47.280
They really, the four leftists who are now running the Wisconsin Supreme Court, created a complete fiction.
00:19:56.560
Now, this is a perfect example of why our country absolutely needs President Trump's
00:20:06.240
plan for election integrity to go into effect, to protect people, to protect our citizens from people
00:20:15.200
like this who would debase our elections, who would take away the security.
00:20:20.240
Right. And to that point as well, not only was the decision not found in the law,
00:20:29.520
but it doesn't pass the common sense test. So when folks throw ballots into a box,
00:20:36.640
the chain of custody is broken for those ballots, but it calls into question the whole box. And what's
00:20:42.400
the history on that one? Well, let me tell you, for the leftists who control the Wisconsin Supreme
00:20:50.160
Court now did everybody a favor. For all of your viewers, all of our listeners who are interested,
00:20:56.560
you don't have to read all 51 pages. You don't have to be learned in the law to understand the great
00:21:03.200
defect, the lawlessness of this opinion. You just have to be able to read. And you don't have to read
00:21:12.080
all 51 pages. You can read pages 11 and 12 of the majority opinion and page 13 of the dissent.
00:21:20.240
Because here's what the four leftists did. They said that the clerk who runs the election in the local
00:21:28.080
community. In Wisconsin, we have 1,852 clerks approximately. The clerk is a person. Okay.
00:21:37.600
So far, I'm with you. The clerk is a person, a relatively straightforward proposition. But then
00:21:47.840
the four leftists transfer that to say, because a clerk wants to put out a drop box or presumably a brown
00:21:57.360
paper bag in an abandoned field somewhere, that delivery of the absentee. And remember, absentee
00:22:05.920
voting is a privilege. It is not a constitutional right. So therefore, it is, and properly is,
00:22:12.240
more highly regulated. So on page 11, the majority says, well, the clerk is a person. Great. But then we
00:22:20.400
turn the page to page 12, and the majority says, well, because the clerk is a person,
00:22:27.040
pretty much any receptacle that the clerk designates as a place for people to put absentee ballots
00:22:36.160
is valid, is a lawful and legal scheme, including now, and this happened in Wisconsin. This happened in
00:22:44.720
Wisconsin in 2020, that the Zuckerberg paid political agents who were embedded. That's their word, not mine.
00:22:54.160
They paid the five largest cities in our state, $10 million, north of $10 million. And one of the
00:23:01.680
things that bought Mark Zuckerberg was to be able to put his political agents and strategists into the
00:23:08.720
clerk's offices in our five largest cities. And what they would do is they would identify which voters had
00:23:17.280
had received absentee ballots from the clerk's offices, but had not yet returned the ballot.
00:23:23.440
And then they did, they took another step. In a very cynical use of racial politics,
00:23:31.280
they then identified African-American voters, because the statistics all show it. Pew research
00:23:38.480
tells us, and every other study that's been done, when African-Americans vote, they tend to vote 86%
00:23:45.360
of the time for the Democrat candidate. And so what did these clerks allow to happen?
00:23:51.920
Agents, in some cases, many cases paid for by Mark Zuckerberg, actually went to the homes of these
00:23:59.360
African-American people who had requested absentee ballots. And these agents were able to knock on the
00:24:05.840
door and say, we're from the city, because they were technically embedded with the city clerk's office,
00:24:12.080
with the clerk's office. And we see you've requested the absentee ballot, but you haven't returned it.
00:24:18.400
We'd be happy to help you fill it out. And if you want, and now what the four leftists who are
00:24:24.320
running our state Supreme Court have done, now what they can do again is they can say,
00:24:30.000
and we'll take your ballots for you. We'll take them to the clerk's office. Because after all,
00:24:35.280
as long as the clerk says it's okay, according to this opinion. Now I said there were three pages,
00:24:40.640
and I talked about two, page 13 from the dissent quite correctly points out that if you return an
00:24:51.200
absentee ballot to a person, such as a clerk, it actually requires a person-to-person transfer of
00:24:59.840
the ballot, not a person to inanimate objects, such as ballot drop box or brown paper bag or cardboard
00:25:08.080
box at the end of the drive. Exceptional summary, Judge. Thank you. And now give people, what can
00:25:15.520
they do? You laid it out. It's overwhelmingly cynical. All of us patriots, we just went through
00:25:24.160
the 4th of July. This cannot stand. What do people do in closing? How do people reach you,
00:25:30.560
and what do folks do? RacineRecall.org. Racine, R-A-C-I-N-E, Recall.org. That's all about our
00:25:40.080
current Speaker of the Assembly. He's the one who's protecting the Wisconsin Elections Commission,
00:25:46.320
which is facilitating all of these illegal and fraudulent election practices. And everything has
00:25:54.560
remained in place from when Joe Biden was declared the winner of Wisconsin in 2020, which I believe,
00:26:02.560
I concluded after my investigation, 132-page report, not one word of which has been shown to be
00:26:10.160
inaccurate, that if it had not been for all of the illegal, improper, fraudulent ballots fraudulently
00:26:18.240
received, that Donald Trump certainly would have been declared the winner of Wisconsin in 2020.
00:26:24.640
Yeah, Judge Gaiman, we got to hit it again. But thanks for laying out the case, the process,
00:26:30.480
the law, what we can do about it, calling the war room's attention to it. Huge issues for us going
00:26:37.680
forward. It's not all over. We need to be vigilant. Everybody needs to work. Stephen K. Bannon said,
00:26:42.960
don't send cards, go to work. And you just heard a case as to why you should be very vigilant when
00:26:49.840
it comes to the upcoming elections across the country. Supreme Court Judge Gaiman just laid it
00:26:56.160
out as clear as can be. Right now, we've got, and we're going to hold him through the break,
00:27:01.120
Todd Benzman, Oscar Romero, are you guys up with us at the border? Todd, you up?
00:27:08.320
Yes, I'm here. I'm here in Austin, Texas. Very good. Thank you, Todd. Thanks for all the great
00:27:16.000
work you do. We're going to go in about 30 seconds. But just what do you make of the RNC
00:27:23.840
and President Trump both coming out, putting immigration at the top of the priority list?
00:27:28.720
I think it came out number one, even above inflation. Just your quick comments there,
00:27:32.960
and then we'll go to break and come back with you. Makes perfect sense. A Harvard poll just
00:27:38.080
came out, placing it right there at the top with inflation, immigration, the border crisis. But
00:27:45.520
also, interestingly, the terrorism threat emerged as a high-ranking subset of the immigration crop
00:27:54.320
in that Harvard poll. Very good. Very interesting. All right. Back with Todd Benzman and Oscar Romero on
00:28:02.960
the border invasion. I ran on it 10 years ago. It was bad then. It's way worse today. The war
00:28:10.400
room posse is standing to do the right thing and get this country right back on track, back in a minute.
00:28:18.400
America is facing a real danger, the kind of danger only real Americans are ready for.
00:28:22.560
Now, what makes a real American? A defender of truth. A freedom fighter. Someone who knows what's
00:28:29.360
coming and knows that the government won't help you. Real Americans prepare with My Patriot Supply.

Take action. Do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:33.040
Dave Bratt in the War Room with Stephen K. Bannon and our good friend Todd Benzman, our border invasion
00:29:39.040
expert. He's been on the issue his whole life. No better expert to have with us on the War Room.
00:29:46.560
Todd, I hear at CIS you have a special seminar coming up. What are you aiming at there?
00:29:56.400
Right. I'm not involved in that one, but you can go to our website, CIS.org,
00:30:02.800
and take a look. It's front and center. We'll be going live on that panel. I think that's tomorrow,
00:30:10.800
if I'm not mistaken. Good. And if I understand it right, it's the impact of illegal immigration on
00:30:16.480
the labor market, African-American community, jobs, et cetera. Is that right?
00:30:21.520
That's right. I forgot that small detail. But yeah, that's a fascinating topic. Because as you know,
00:30:28.800
the black communities across the country are polling more in favor of Trump these days than they have in
00:30:38.560
the past for a long time. And there's a squabble and a shakeup in the campaign to try to get them
00:30:45.760
back. Yeah. And when you're boots on the ground down on the border states, do you hear that
00:30:52.800
anecdotally? Plus, I mean, are you hearing that? That's a strong, strong theme? Well, actually,
00:30:59.040
I spend most of my time on the Mexican side. I'm not usually with the immigrants, so I'm not
00:31:05.360
there. But I can read the polling just like anybody else. And go look at Google, a Chicago
00:31:13.920
city assembly meeting, any one of them in the last year. And you'll see the black community members
00:31:21.280
packing the chambers to the rafters, screaming bloody murder over all the immigration, all the money
00:31:28.160
going to the new immigrants pouring into that city. 300,000 at last count. They're mad.
00:31:37.280
Yep. Yep. Very good. And you made some comments on the introduction. You know,
00:31:42.640
the border invasion is probably the number one issue amongst Americans. And then you mentioned
00:31:47.360
terrorism. Say a couple words about that, and then we'll go to Oscar as well.
00:31:50.960
Well, that's right. And Oscar's a great person to talk to. He's in the Darien Gap. That's where
00:31:57.680
the majority of people, immigrants on the FBI's terrorism watch list are pouring through. That's
00:32:04.080
their channel. That's their trail right through there. We've had 370 hit our border who are on the U.S.
00:32:11.840
FBI terrorism watch list since Biden was elected. The FBI just recently rolled up eight Tajikistanis
00:32:20.240
on a multi-state terrorism sting operation with wiretaps. All of them came in over the border,
00:32:28.800
including one of them came in through that CBP-1. We had two Jordanians, one of whom crossed the border
00:32:34.960
illegally try a vehicle ramming attack at Quantico. We've had like six to eight different accidental
00:32:42.880
releases of people on the FBI terrorism watch list who came over the border. We accidentally
00:32:49.040
released them. And DHS just came out with a major study of our vetting processes down there at the
00:32:56.400
border for this problem. And they said, we don't have any vetting down there. Terrible.
00:33:01.520
Unreal. Yeah. Yeah. And in closing, Todd, most all this could be shut down with an executive order,
00:33:09.440
just like it was opened up. True or false? Absolutely true. I'd give it about an hour.
00:33:15.200
The whole thing started in about an hour after inauguration, and the whole thing could be shut
00:33:20.880
down in an hour after the next inauguration if it's the right person. That's it. That's it.
00:33:26.320
Hate to simplify things to that level, but sometimes things are that simple. Todd,
00:33:30.880
thanks for all your hard work and taking care of all of the technical difficulties and fighting
00:33:36.080
the fight and doing the best you can do after the executive order goes in. Oscar Ramirez down
00:33:40.640
at the Darien Gap. Oscar, bring us up to speed. Yeah, we are. It came back from the Darien Gap,
00:33:47.280
Dave. We just came back from there. It's a massive flow. It is continuing between 1,000 to 1,500
00:33:52.640
individuals that are coming in. And even on the Darien Gap, there's social classes. There's a route that is
00:33:56.400
called Carreto, where the massive flow is coming in by Chinese migrants that they're arriving over
00:34:01.920
here, and also migrants from India and migrants from Iran. I encountered a migrant from India,
00:34:06.480
and he told me that he is crossing illegally through the walls. But the most amazing thing
00:34:10.720
is what he told me, that in the Constitution, they have told them, their parents and also their
00:34:15.040
family members, that in the Constitution, it says that no human is illegal. And I was shocked to say,
00:34:20.240
like, where in the Constitution of the United States of America says that? Also, I encountered
00:34:24.560
migrants from Iran, massive numbers of Chinese that are arriving. I did an interview with a couple of
00:34:30.000
Chinese migrants, and I asked them, do you think that they are spies infiltrated on these vulnerable
00:34:35.200
groups of yours? And all of them, they say, possibly there's a few. So how much is a few at this
00:34:41.280
particular point in juncture? You know, so the massive flow, it is continuing. The president
00:34:46.400
of Panama has also put Constantino wire in the middle of the jungle, so they can close these
00:34:51.520
routes where the traffickers of the Colombian cartel, the Clan and Golfo, they're trying to
00:34:54.880
smuggle them. So they will come down into one particular route, and the authorities of Panama will
00:34:59.600
document all the mass migration that is coming through there, all the way to the villages outside
00:35:03.520
of the Darien Dade. Oscar, thanks very much. Todd Benzman at the opening also mentioned
00:35:10.880
what you're getting at, the terrorist threat, and the idea of having another 9-11 on American soil
00:35:17.520
due to this grotesque negligence in the law and maintaining our own nation and our border.
00:35:24.960
What can you say on that, the threat of terrorism? Have you read any reports? Have you seen what the
00:35:30.800
FBI is doing, what they're saying? What's the best state of knowledge on that issue right now?
00:35:37.200
Dave, and to all the Americans, this is how the United States looks outside right now. How
00:35:42.480
authorities that we have been documented, Ben Berkwam and myself, all Central and South America,
00:35:46.640
all the governmental institutions, they have said, what is the United States of America doing?
00:35:51.120
They are really, in a way, they are really vulnerable at this particular point to get a terrorist attack.
00:35:56.880
And I'm not exaggerating to be attacked by within, because a lot of these individuals,
00:36:01.200
they're coming in non-vetted, and they're coming in from Venezuela, which they are critical again,
00:36:05.600
the trend that has been arriving in the parts of Chicago and also New York, Dave.
00:36:10.080
Yeah, no, it's just unbelievable. Oscar, Todd, thank you for all you do for this country. God
00:36:16.720
bless you. It is just stunning. The FBI has conservative voters, and the environmental threat
00:36:26.000
is a higher threat than what these gentlemen have just laid out. It's just a stunning state of affairs,
00:36:32.240
which just shows you we need to get to the work, right? As Steve Bannon says, it's action,
00:36:37.360
action, action. So when you hear Oscar doing tremendous work like that, telling you where we
00:36:42.480
stand, that's it. Another hero with the war room, Mike Davis, I think has some special reports coming
00:36:50.640
to us from the RNC platform committee. Mike, what did you glean today? What were they up to up with the
00:36:57.200
RNC platform results? It was a very good day for President Trump today in Milwaukee at the
00:37:04.800
Republican National Committee's platform committee ahead of the convention that starts next week. We
00:37:11.760
had Senator Marsha Blackburn, who chaired the platform committee meeting today. She did a fantastic
00:37:18.880
job. Randy Evans, who was President Trump's ambassador to Luxembourg, was the executive director,
00:37:24.480
Russ Voigt, who was Trump's OMB director, was a policy lead, as was Ed Martin from the Eagles,
00:37:32.160
Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. It was a great day. Vince Haley from the Trump campaign, the policy director,
00:37:37.680
everyone came together. President Trump called in, he worked, he was very hands-on on this updated
00:37:44.640
platform for the Republican National Committee. And President Trump and his team made sure that this
00:37:50.240
document, the RNC platform was updated so it's relevant for the Trump agenda and it's relevant
00:37:59.040
and accessible to real Americans in real America so they can understand what we stand for as a party
00:38:05.920
and how we contrast with these Biden Democrats. It was a very good day.
00:38:09.920
Yeah, that's great. Say a little word about maybe the press coverage you've seen about this.
00:38:18.480
In the opening monologue, I've always said, you know, we have the policy winners, right? The border invasion,
00:38:24.880
the economy, the inflation, the deep state tied in with the $2 trillion deficits, massive spending
00:38:34.400
that creates and sustains these deep state administrative state and then endless wars,
00:38:39.520
right? Retired Colonel John Mills was on that and I thought it was about four wars that were
00:38:45.200
open fire US troops. He said 14 hotspots. So we never get to debate that with the left,
00:38:53.200
right? All political views are my own. But that's never, it's always about the internal squawking in
00:38:58.720
the Republicans or they set you up on you, what's the Freedom Caucus saying, blah, blah, blah.
00:39:02.720
What's your take on the overall messaging and can our leadership, right, the Speaker of the House and
00:39:09.920
the Senate leaders, can they get out the message more efficiently so we finally get some of these
00:39:15.840
massive problems this country's facing solved? Yeah, Trump, President Trump's Republican National
00:39:22.320
Committee platform unifies the party. It brings in right thinking Democrats and independents.
00:39:29.360
It's forward looking. It's clear. It's concise. It makes a lot of sense. And he talks about securing
00:39:37.040
the border, bringing down interest rates, bringing down crime, ending the weaponization of government,
00:39:43.360
appointing good justices and federal judges to the bench. I talked about that today. I briefed
00:39:48.640
the committee today, the platform committee today on President Trump's agenda on judges and the
00:39:54.320
weaponization. There are 10 points to this. It's only like 18 pages. It's not a lobbyist-driven
00:40:03.120
document. This was driven by President Trump and his team. And he made sure that his agenda,
00:40:09.840
the America First agenda, is now the RNC party platform for every candidate across America to run on
00:40:18.080
this platform. It was unifying. It was uplifting. It was a great day for President Trump.
00:40:25.200
Outstanding summary, Mike. Have you seen any of the reporting by the mainstream media yet on this
00:40:32.880
unity of party spirit? I'm sure they're going to cover the great unity. And you put your finger on
00:40:38.080
something very important. This is not your old Republican-Democrat thing, right? So when I say
00:40:43.280
the political views of my own, there is a populist uprising going on globally, right? And I open with
00:40:49.200
why, right? 10% own 90%. This is not lost on everybody. The old Democrats, the poor, everyone's
00:40:57.920
doing a double take right now. And so we never get any reportage on these great themes and great solutions
00:41:05.680
for the country. Have you seen any preliminary reports yet? I'm expecting all rosy scenarios.
00:41:12.400
Yeah, it's amazing. There is a coup within the Democrat party to take out the sitting president
00:41:19.280
of the United States, who is the democratically elected Democrat nominee. And you have the Washington,
00:41:26.720
D.C. insiders trying to take out President Biden as we speak. The Republicans are united.
00:41:32.720
President Trump has united the party with this forward-looking, common-sense, concise,
00:41:40.000
smart agenda where it solves real problems for real Americans in real America.
00:41:45.040
Yeah. Mike Davis, thank you. You always give some great insights, right? The gaslighting
00:41:53.760
you just alluded to is just extraordinary, right? So they're trying to take out a president
00:41:59.600
again after 16. I went over some of that, right? They're trying to take out another president. I
00:42:04.640
don't think the voters are in charge of that process the last time I checked. And so you're
00:42:10.560
spot on as usual. Mike Davis, thanks for joining us on The War Room. You'll be back daily. You're just a
00:42:18.960
great source of not only Article III, but just a political font of wisdom across the board. Thanks for
00:42:24.160
being with us, Mike. Thanks, Dave. War Room, we're going to be back in a little bit. But
00:42:29.680
before we go there, the world is in turmoil. In my opening remarks, I forgot to mention productivity.
00:42:35.600
Productivity has been down 70 years in a row. CBO has it going down for another 30 years in a row.
00:42:42.400
So how's the real economy doing? Not hot. Let anyone tell you otherwise. If they want to debate
00:42:48.720
that one, I'd love to hear it. What's this mean? This means you ought to look out at Birch Gold.
00:42:54.640
The rest of the world is buying gold for some reason. You want to explore what that reason is.
00:43:00.080
Gold has historically been a good hedge. No real estate advice on The War Room, but go do your homework.
00:43:06.320
Call them at Birch Gold. They're good friends. I've met them personally. I like them. They speak
00:43:12.080
common sense. So only you can determine what's right for your own portfolio. Go do the right
00:43:18.240
thing. Back to The War Room with Steve and Kate Bannon.

Dave Braden with the great Stephen K. Bannon and one of his great friends and great contributors
00:45:02.240
for years now who's been the spear on the health care, the Dr. Fauci catastrophe, etc.
00:45:11.520
In the preliminary remarks, the opening, I told people what Steve want us to do, which is action,
00:45:19.920
action, action, go to work. He doesn't want crying in the war room. But we're going to take a little
00:45:24.880
exception here. I'm a little upset with a lot of my freedom guys, the tax cut guys and the libertarian
00:45:32.560
types. Guys and gals, you need freedom in the first place to have free markets. This seems to be
00:45:41.760
lost on a lot of people who are not fighting for freedom. And you should be writing letters on behalf
00:45:46.400
of Peter Navarro and Stephen K. Bannon, etc. And so one of our great contributors wrote such a letter,
00:45:55.680
Naomi Wolf. Dr. Naomi Wolf, thank you for your heart this week for sharing your ideals. Why don't
00:46:02.240
you give the war room a summary of what you said and why you felt the need to say where the heck
00:46:07.120
are you to a whole host of folks who should be there at the ramparts?
00:46:12.640
Yeah, thank you so much for having me on. So this essay is titled What Time It Is. I mean,
00:46:18.480
it's about Mr. Bannon's imprisonment. And basically, the argument is, I don't care if you like Mr.
00:46:27.360
Bannon's politics, if you don't like his politics. I was horrified, I remain horrified at the relative
00:46:34.320
silence and acquiescence of millions of voices of people who should know better when Mr. Bannon was
00:46:43.360
called off to prison at FCI Danbury. It was a relative silence on the right, in the center,
00:46:52.960
libertarians, independents, and liberals who profess to care about the rule of law and due process of
00:47:01.920
law. And the reason I was so horrified is that I recognize the nature of that silence. I mean,
00:47:10.960
to me, Mr. Bannon's imprisonment is at least as serious as Julian Assange's imprisonment. I made the
00:47:17.280
point in my essay that I was an advisor to President Clinton's reelection campaign and to
00:47:23.520
Vice President Gore's presidential campaign. And I was married to a White House speechwriter during the
00:47:28.560
Clinton years. And everyone relied and they rely to this day on executive privilege. And it's so it's
00:47:36.160
clear to me that Mr. Bannon is being treated with a double standard. But what's also clear
00:47:40.880
is that the goal of the imprisonment is to silence Mr. Bannon's voice. And I looked at the
00:47:48.160
the rules, the regulations, the handbook for prisoners. Literally, he can't use the internet,
00:47:53.360
as I understand it. He can't record for future release. He can't follow the presidential. He can't
00:48:00.080
follow the convention digitally. He can't be seen, you know, by by the posse. He's cut out entirely from
00:48:10.000
engagement in digital communications. And there are a lot of things he can do, right? He can finish his
00:48:17.120
GED. He can learn martial arts. But the overwhelming result of his imprisonment happens to be to silence
00:48:26.720
him, take him off the battlefield for these crucial four months before the most important presidential
00:48:33.360
election of our time. Yeah, thank you so much, Naomi. It does go to show you and Dr. Naomi Wolf
00:48:43.360
goes to show you that what is possible in this country. There are there's still a huge swath of
00:48:50.960
truth and ethical behavior and principled behavior and lawful behavior that can keep us all together. You
00:48:58.880
can disagree strongly with people, right, in a constitutional republic. It's not a problem.
00:49:06.000
It's never been a problem. There's slavery. I'm grossing over a huge swath of history,
00:49:13.120
right? But we can make it work. But there have to be some fundamentals. Naomi, what are some of those
00:49:19.440
fundamentals that you would point to that should keep us all together in closing?
00:49:23.920
Well, I think the most important thing is people have to recognize that, you know,
00:49:29.200
they're treating Mr. Bannon's imprisonment, in my view, as kind of a sacrificial
00:49:34.080
gesture that keeps them safe, right? Oh, you know, they went after him, they got him,
00:49:39.360
we'll be safe. That's not how it works. I've been trying since 2007 to warn people about what the
00:49:45.760
collapse of a democracy looks like based on historical precedent. And what I really want people to
00:49:51.680
understand is that all of this deplatforming, the debanking, the loss of licenses, the bankrupting
00:49:58.560
is trivial compared with what Mr. Bannon's arrest represents or imprisonment represents, which is
00:50:04.480
they're coming after our bodies now, right? They're coming, they're mopping up the opposition now.
00:50:09.600
And I looked back, I'm Jewish, my grandmother lost nine brothers and sisters in the Holocaust.
00:50:14.320
I looked back at this six month period, so important, before the Nazis were actually formally
00:50:20.000
in power, when the SS mopped up the opposition, they informally took opposition voices, outspoken
00:50:27.840
clergy, union leaders, into these makeshift prisons. They beat them or they disappeared them.
00:50:33.680
And that's where we're at right now. And what people have to understand is that silence doesn't
00:50:37.600
protect them. Their silence endangers them. Only speaking up on behalf of Mr. Bannon to protect
00:50:43.920
them. Spot on, spot on, spot on. Eric McTax, this is going to be on Wednesday. I might have Naomi back
00:50:50.960
on. That was just an eloquent statement, full of wisdom. God bless you and all the work you do,
00:50:56.480
Naomi. Thanks for being with us on The War Room today. Right now, we got Mo Bannon in the house.
00:51:01.600
Mo, let's hear the roar. She's going to tee up the six o'clock show. Mo Bannon, go.
00:51:06.240
Mo Bannon, go. So I know that the posse always wants to know how my dad is doing. So in order
00:51:12.880
to find out how he is doing in Danbury, I need you guys to stay tuned and watch the 6 p.m. show,
00:51:20.080
and you'll find out exactly how he's doing in his first week at Danbury Correctional Facility.
00:51:26.560
And I know a bunch of the posse have asked me on a regular basis how they can support my dad.
00:51:32.640
I know before he said he does not want the posse to write letters. He does not want you guys to take
00:51:37.760
time away from the fight to write him letters. But in order to support him, you can support our sponsors.
00:51:44.560
So like Dave said in C Block, please go to birchgold.com slash Bannon in order to check out
00:51:53.520
the great things that Birch Gold is doing. You can read the fourth installment of The End of the Dollar
00:51:58.880
Empire. And I know once my dad gets out and is at events, he will ask the posse who has read that.
00:52:05.680
So I encourage you guys to read that before he gets out. You have four months.
00:52:09.920
So I encourage everyone to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon and read The End of the Dollar Empire.
00:52:19.040
